Fastener driving tool
A spring-type fastener driving tool includes a plunger having a blade that drives in fasteners, a spring that urges the plunger downwards and is capable of being compressed upwards, a spring compression mechanism unit that includes a drum that causes the plunger to move in a compression direction of the spring based on rotational force of a motor, a reduction mechanism unit, and a one-way clutch than prohibits reverse rotation of the motor. Reverse rotation of the drum due to the urging force of the spring is prevented by providing the one-way clutch between an input side rotating shaft of the reduction mechanism unit and a rotation output shaft of the motor.
1. A fastener driving tool comprising:
a motor having two end faces and a rotation output shaft extending through the end faces;
a magazine that supplies fasteners;
a plunger, provided to move up and down between an upper dead point and a lower dead point, and having a blade for driving the fasteners;
a spring that urges the plunger downwards, and that is capable of being compressed upwards;
a spring compression mechanism unit having a rotating body that moves the plunger in a direction of compressing the spring based on rotation of the rotation output shaft of the motor in one direction;
a reduction mechanism unit provided between the rotation output shaft of the motor and the rotating body, having a first rotating input shaft that is driven by the motor and a rotation output shaft connected to the rotating body to transmit a reduced rotational speed of the first rotating input shaft to the rotating body; and
a one-way clutch provided between the rotation output shaft of the motor and the first rotating input shaft of the reduction mechanism unit, that permits rotation of the motor in the one direction that compresses the spring, and prohibits the rotation of the motor in an opposite direction,
wherein the one-way clutch is connected to one end of the rotation output shaft located at one end face of the motor, and the first rotating input shaft of the reduction mechanism unit is connected to another end of the rotation output shaft located at the other end face of the motor.
2. The fastener driving tool according to claim 1 , wherein the reduction mechanism unit reduces a rotational speed of the rotation output shaft of the motor and transmits the reduced rotational speed to the rotating body.
3. The fastener driving tool according to claim 1 , wherein the one-way clutch comprises:
an inner ring rotation unit connected to the rotation output shaft of the motor;
an outer periphery fixing unit provided at an outer periphery of the inner ring rotation unit; and
an engaging member configured to engage between the inner ring rotation unit and the outer periphery fixing unit, to permit rotation of the inner ring rotation unit in only one direction.
4. The fastener driving tool according to claim 1 , wherein the one-way clutch is a roller-type one-way clutch.
5. The fastener driving tool according to claim 1 , wherein the one-way clutch is a ratchet-type one-way clutch.
6. The fastener driving tool according to claim 1 , wherein the allowable torque of the one-way clutch is set to a range of 5.4 Nm or less.
