The present invention relates to nail drivers and particular to a safety control circuit for a direct current electromotive nail driver which can provide a preferred protection to the nail driver.
Electric nail drivers are more and more popular to the workers since they can make the people drive nails easily. In the prior art, the electric nail drivers have security switches for preventing the carelessness of people. When a trigger switch is pressed, the nail is beaten. If the security switch does not close, the trigger switch is actuated again, a nail will be beaten. Then, it is possible that an accident occurs. Thereby, the prior art security switch cannot protect a preferred protection.
Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a safety control circuit for a direct current electromotive nail driver which can provide a preferred protection to the nail driver.
To achieve above objects, the present invention provides a safety control circuit for a direct current electromotive nail driver comprises: a direct current power source for supplying power to the circuit; a control and protecting unit having a security switch, a trigger switch and a stop switch; and a motor for driving an object. When the security switch is turned on and then the trigger switch is pressed, the control and protecting unit will receive a signal from the trigger switch so as to conduct the motor and thus the motor operates to drive an object. When the motor operates through a predetermined time period, the stop switch will actuates to actuate a protection function of the control and protecting unit so that the motor cannot operate until the security switch SW1 is actuated again.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.
In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be described in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
With reference to
With reference to
The control and protecting unit is formed by a security switch SW1, a trigger switch SW2 and a stop switch SW3, a single chip controller IC2, two optical coupling ICs (OP1, OP2), and two metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET Q1 and MOSFET Q2).
A direct current power sotirce BP1 serves for supplying power to the circuit.
When the security switch SW1 is turned on, current from the direct current power source BP1 flows through the Zener diode ZD1 so as to confine the voltage to be within 12 Volts. Then the current flows through the regulating IC (IC1 so as to output a steady voltage to the single chip controller IC2. The regulating IC, and the capacitors C1 and C2 serves as a power source lower frequency filter.
When the user presses the trigger switch SW2 through 0.1 second, a seventh pin of single chip controller IC2 is retained in a high level output so as to actuate the optical coupling IC (OP1) so that the voltage is transferred to the gate of the N channel MOSFET Q1 to conduct the source and drain of the MOSFET Q1. Thereby, the MOSFET Q1 and the direct current power source BP1 are formed as a circuit loop.
The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
