Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a trigger safety device, more particularly to a nailing gun equipped with the device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Owing to convenient carrying and usage, small power tools have become indispensible to various projects such as construction, civil engineering, decoration, etc. Increasing importance is attached to the safety of the power tools in the usage process thereof. In order to avoid that accidental trigger of the nailing gun in the projects accidentally injures people or objects, a trigger safety device is usually required to be arranged on the nailing gun to protect users. In the utility model patent of China (Patent Number: 200620055098.1, Publication Day Feb. 21, 2007), a nailing gun safe device is disclosed, which comprises a pneumatic safety device, a top support device and a driving device, wherein the pneumatic safety device comprises a valve seat and an air valve arranged inside the valve seat and capable of slideable movement in the valve seat; the top support device is linked with the driving device, and by pressing the top support device, the position of the air valve can be limited through the driving device; and two ends of the driving device are respectively linked with the air valve of the pneumatic safety device and the top support device. The nailing gun safety device described in the patent realizes the linkage between the top support device and the pneumatic safety device through the driving device in order to achieve the purpose of protecting users, however, the pneumatic safety device with complex structure of the air circuit and quite high requirement on processing precision needs to be connected with a high pressure air chamber and shunts high pressure air, so the production cost of the nailing gun is increased; in addition, the pneumatic safety device has larger volume and occupied space, increasing the volume and the weight of the entire nailing gun.

Further, a mechanical trigger safety device disclosed in the utility model patent of China (CN2880397Y) includes a slideable push rod protruding in front of a nozzle, when the push rod is pushed backwards to slide backwards, a poking rod pivoted on a gun body is pushed, a rotating component is pushed subsequent to the rotation of the poking rod so as to move away a stop block on a switch. Hence, the nailing gun can achieve triggered only after the push rod at the nozzle is pushed by processed materials, thereby protecting the users. Nevertheless, the structure of this nailing gun is apparently only suitable for electric nailing guns, not for pneumatic nailing guns. Furthermore, such a nailing gun cannot differentiate correct operation sequence, which leads to the fact that the percussion of the nailing gun occurs only if the push rod is pressed and the trigger is pulled, causing danger in some cases. Some users make it a rule to pull the trigger tightly all the time, so the trigger of the nailing gun occurs in case that the nozzle is accidentally touched.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The technical problem required to be solved in the invention lies in overcoming the deficiencies in the prior art, and providing A nailing gun trigger safety device and a nailing gun provided with the same with simple structure, convenient use and good safety.

A nailing gun trigger safety device according to the invention comprises a contact-jacking mechanism 20, a poking mechanism 30 linked with the contact-jacking mechanism 20 and a transmission mechanism 40 linked with the poking mechanism 30, wherein the contact-jacking mechanism 20 can be slideably mounted on a nozzle 11 of the nailing gun body 1; and the device is characterized in that: the nailing gun trigger safety device is arranged on the nailing gun body 1 and is linked with a trigger mechanism 50;

the trigger mechanism 50 comprises a trigger 52 and a pressing sheet 51 driven by the trigger, and an air needle 54 for starting up a nailing gun percussion mechanism, wherein the contact-jacking mechanism 20 is linked with the pressing sheet 51 via the poking mechanism 30 and the transmission mechanism 40;

when the contact-jacking mechanism 20 is not pressed, the pressing sheet 51 is positioned at a first initial position and the air needle 54 is beyond the stroke of the pressing sheet 51;

when the contact-jacking mechanism 20 is pressed, the contact-jacking mechanism 20 pushes the pressing sheet 51 to a second initial position via the poking mechanism 30 and the transmission mechanism 40, and the air needle 54 is within the stroke of the pressing sheet 51.

Further, the transmission mechanism 40 comprises a mounting rack 41 suitable for the arrangement on the nailing gun body 1, an L-shaped guide rod 42 and a bending rod 43 articulated with the rear end of the guide rod 42, wherein the middle corner of the L-shaped guide rod 42 is mounted on the mounting rack 41 via a pivot 45, the front end of the guide rod 42 is linked with the poking mechanism 30, and the bending rod 43 is linked with the pressing sheet 51 of the trigger mechanism 50;

the poking mechanism 30 comprises a bracket 31 mounted on the nozzle 11, a fork 32 rotatably mounted on the bracket 31 and an elastic member 33 suitable for being mounted on the bracket 31 and fit with the fork 32, wherein the fork 32 is mounted on slide slot on the bracket 31 via a pivot 34, the elastic member 33 pushes the pivot 34 to the front end of the slide slot; the fork 32 further comprises a front end part linked with the contact-jacking mechanism 20 and a rear end part butting against the rear end of the guide rod 42 of the transmission mechanism 40;

the contact-jacking mechanism 20 comprises a contact-jacking member 23, an anti-pushing member 21 fixed at the tail end of the contact-jacking member 23 and an elastic member 22 arranged between the anti-pushing member 21 and the contact-jacking member 23, wherein the contact-jacking member 23 can be slideably mounted on the nozzle 11, and the anti-pushing member 21 butts against the front end part of the fork 32 of the poking mechanism 30.

The nailing gun equipped with the nailing gun trigger safety device is characterized in that: the nailing gun comprises the gun body and the nailing gun trigger safety device.

Under the initial situation, the pressing sheet is positioned at the first initial position and the air needle is beyond the stroke of the pressing sheet. In this case, pulling the trigger cannot lead to the percussion of the nailing gun.

When being pressed, the contact-jacking mechanism pushes the front end part of the fork 32, and since the pivot 34 of the fork 32 is pushed by the elastic member 33 and accordingly maintained at the front ends of the slide slots, the fork 32 can rotate only. The rear end part of the fork 32 presses the front end of the guide rod 42, and after the guide rod 42 rotates, the rear end thereof drives the bending rod 43 to move backwards. The bending rod 43 pushes the pressing sheet 51 to the second initial position, and the air needle 54 is within the stroke of the pressing sheet 51. In this case, the air needle 54 can be triggered by the pressing sheet 51 by pulling the trigger again.

If the trigger is pulled at first and the contact-jacking mechanism is pressed subsequently, just as the bad habit of some users of pulling the trigger tightly all the time, the percussion of the nailing gun cannot occur. Under the situation that the contact-jacking mechanism at the front part of the nozzle is not pressed, after the trigger is pulled, the pressing sheet 51 pushes the bending rod 43 to move forwards, the guide rod rotates clockwise to push the fork to rotate counterclockwise, and the front end part of the fork pushes the contact-jacking mechanism to move forwards, thereby achieving the effect that the pressing sheet 51 pushes the transmission mechanism 40 and the poking mechanism 30, the front end of the contact-jacking mechanism 20 is not fixed yet at this moment and pushed towards the front end of the nozzle 11 under the pushing of the poking mechanism 30. In this case the air needle is beyond the stroke of the pressing sheet, and can't been triggered.

The contact-jacking mechanism 20 is then pressed, and since the transmission mechanism 40 is obstructed by the air pressure of the switch, the pivot 34 of the fork 32 neutralizes the resistance of the elastic member 33 to move backwards inside the slide slot of the bracket 31, neither poking the transmission mechanism 40 nor pushing the pressing sheet 51 of the switch to cause percussion.

The nailing gun equipped with the safe device according to the invention can achieve percussion only according to correct operation sequence, enhancing the safety of the nailing gun.

Compared with the prior art, a nailing gun trigger safety device and a nailing gun equipped with the device according to the invention at least have the following advantages:

1. A nailing gun trigger safety device provided by the invention is provided with a poking device and a transmission device between the contact-jacking mechanism and the trigger mechanism, such a mechanical structure enables the nailing gun trigger safety device to simple structure, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the nailing gun.

The L shape of the guide rod 42 lengthens the moving distance of the guide rod 42 and the poking mechanism 30 and also enhances the flexibility of the trigger safety device.

With reference to the FIG. 1, according to the embodiments of the invention, the poking mechanism 30 comprises a bracket 31 suitable for being mounted on the nozzle 11, a fork 32 rotatably mounted the bracket 31 and an elastic member 33 suitable for being mounted on the bracket 31 and fit with the fork 32. More specifically, the fork 32 is mounted on the bracket 31 via the pivot 34, and comprises a front end part linked with the contact-jacking mechanism 20 and a rear end part linked with the transmission mechanism 40. The contact-jacking mechanism 20 comprises a contact-jacking member 23, an anti-pushing member 21 fixed at the tail end of the contact-jacking member 23 and an elastic member 22 arranged between the anti-pushing member 21 and the contact-jacking member 23, the contact-jacking member 23 can be slidably mounted on the nozzle 11 and the anti-pushing member 21 is linked with the poking mechanism 30.

With reference to the FIG. 1, a nailing gun provided with trigger safety device according to the invention comprises a nailing gun body 1 and a trigger safety device suitable for being mounted on the nailing gun body 1, the nailing gun trigger safety device is arranged on the nailing gun body 1 and is linked with a trigger mechanism 50, the nailing gun trigger safety device comprises a contact-jacking mechanism 20 and a poking mechanism 30 linked with the contact-jacking mechanism 20, the contact-jacking mechanism 20 can be slideably mounted on a nozzle 11 of the nailing gun body 1, the poking mechanism 30 is linked with the contact-jacking mechanism 20, the nailing gun trigger safety device further comprises a transmission mechanism 40 linked with the trigger mechanism 50, and the transmission mechanism 40 is respectively linked with the poking mechanism 30 and the trigger mechanism 50.

With reference to the FIG. 1, according to the embodiments of the invention, the transmission mechanism 40 comprises a mounting rack 41 suitable for the arrangement on the nailing gun body 1, a guide rod 42 movably mounted on the mounting rack 41 and a bending rod 43 linked with the guide rod 42, the guide rod 42 is linked with the poking mechanism 30, and the bending rod 43 is linked with the trigger mechanism 50.

When the contact-jacking mechanism 20 is not pressed, the pressing sheet 51 is positioned at a first initial position and the air needle 54 is beyond the stroke of the pressing sheet. In this case, the trigger 52 is pulled, although the pressing sheet 51 finishes the stroke, the air needle 54 is beyond the stroke thereof, therefore, the air needle cannot be triggered.

With reference to the FIG. 2, when the trigger mechanism 50 is released, the contact-jacking mechanism 20 retracts towards the nailing gun body 1 under the push-against of the elastic member 22 and simultaneously pushes the poking mechanism 30 and the transmission mechanism 40 so as to push the pressing sheet 51 to a second initial position, and the air needle 54 is within the stroke of the pressing sheet 51.

Specifically, When being pressed, the contact-jacking mechanism 20 pushes the front end part of the fork 32, and since the pivot 34 of the fork 32 is pushed by the elastic member 33 and accordingly maintained at the front ends of the slide slots 35, the fork 32 can rotate only. The rear end part of the fork 32 presses the front end of the guide rod 42, and after the guide rod 42 rotates, the rear end thereof drives the bending rod 43 to move backwards. The bending rod 43 pushes the pressing sheet 51 to the second initial position, and the air needle 54 is within the stroke of the pressing sheet 51. Afterwards, the air needle 54 is triggered by the pressing sheet by pulling the trigger 52 again.

With reference to the FIG. 3, when the trigger mechanism 50 is triggered in case that the contact-jacking mechanism 20 is not pressed, the pressing sheet 51 pushes the transmission mechanism 40 and the poking mechanism 30, the front end of the contact-jacking mechanism 20 is not fixed at this moment and is pushed towards the front end of the nozzle 11 under the pushing of the poking mechanism 30, and percussion cannot occur at this moment as the switch is not opened.

Specifically, under the situation that the contact-jacking mechanism 20 at the front part of the nozzle is not pressed, after the trigger 52 is pulled, the pressing sheet 51 pushes the bending rod 43 to move forwards, the guide rod 42 rotates clockwise to push the fork to rotate counterclockwise, and the front end part of the fork pushes the contact-jacking mechanism to move forwards, thereby achieving the effect that the pressing sheet 51 pushes the transmission mechanism 40 and the poking mechanism 30, the front end of the contact-jacking mechanism 20 is not fixed yet at this moment and pushed towards the front end of the nozzle 11 under the pushing of the poking mechanism 30. In this case, the air needle is positioned beyond the stroke of the pressing sheet 51 and cannot be triggered accordingly.

With reference to the FIG. 4, the contact-jacking mechanism 20 is pressed when being positioned at the position shown in the FIG. 3, and since the transmission mechanism 40 is obstructed under the air pressure of the switch at this moment, the poking mechanism 40 moves backwards along the slide slots of the bracket 31 neither poking the transmission mechanism 40 nor pushing the switch to cause percussion.

What is shown in the FIG. 4 is regarded as further state of the state shown in the FIG. 3, under the situation that the contact-jacking mechanism 20 at the front part of the nozzle is not pressed, the trigger 52 is pulled and the contact-jacking mechanism is then pressed. And since the transmission mechanism 40 is obstructed under the air pressure of the switch at this moment, the pivot 34 of the fork 32 neutralizes the resistance of the elastic member 33 to move backwards inside the slide slots of the bracket 31, neither poking the transmission mechanism 40 nor pushing the pressing sheet 51 of the switch to cause percussion.

Thus, it is obvious that the nailing gun equipped with the safe device according to the invention can achieve percussion only according to correct operation sequence, thereby enhancing the safety of the invention. With reference to the FIG. 5, when the contact-jacking mechanism 20 cannot be pushed forwards as the front end thereof is adhered to the working surface of an applied position, the contact-jacking mechanism 20 pushes the pressing sheet 51 to the second initial position via the poking mechanism 30 and the transmission mechanism 40, and the air needle 54 is within the stroke of the pressing sheet. The switch is opened just by pulling the trigger mechanism 50 so as to cause percussion.

It is noteworthy that the detailed description specifically illustrates the technical proposals of the present patent application with the embodiments, however, the skilled in the art easily thinks of the detailed description, and changes and modifies the technical proposals of the present patent application based thereon, but not breaking away from a range summarized by the claims which are requested for protection by the present invention.
