Abstract

The present invention provides a rivet gun including a first handle, a second handle, a transmission mechanism, and a clamping-pulling mechanism. The first handle is fixedly connected or integrated with a housing limiting the clamping-pulling mechanism, and the second handle is rotatable around a first fixed shaft relative to the first handle; the clamping-pulling mechanism includes a pull rod with gear grooves thereon; the transmission mechanism includes a gear member with a gear end rotatable around a second fixed shaft, the gear end of the gear member being configured to engage with the gear grooves on the pull rod; and the second handle is connected to the transmission mechanism, and configured to drive the gear member of the transmission mechanism to rotate when the second handle is rotated and opened relative to the first handle such that the gear member pushes the pull rod forward by engagement between the gear end and the gear grooves, and to drive the gear member of the transmission to rotate when the second handle is rotated and closed relative to the first handle such that the gear end of the gear member pulls the pull rod backward by engagement between the gear end and the gear grooves.

Claims (14)

1. A rivet gun, comprising a first handle, a second handle, a transmission mechanism, and a clamping-pulling mechanism; wherein

the first handle is fixedly connected or integrated with a housing limiting the clamping-pulling mechanism, and the second handle is rotatable around a first fixed shaft relative to the first handle;

the clamping-pulling mechanism comprises a pull rod with gear grooves thereon;

the transmission mechanism comprises a gear member with a gear end rotatable around a second fixed shaft, the gear end of the gear member being configured to engage with the gear grooves on the pull rod; and

the second handle is connected to the transmission mechanism, and configured to drive the gear member of the transmission mechanism to rotate when the second handle is rotated and opened relative to the first handle such that the gear member pushes the pull rod forward by engagement between the gear end and the gear grooves, and to drive the gear member of the transmission mechanism to rotate when the second handle is rotated and closed relative to the first handle such that the gear end of the gear member pulls the pull rod backward by engagement between the gear end and the gear grooves;

wherein the transmission mechanism comprises a connecting rod configured to transfer a motion of the second handle to the gear member;

wherein a first end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second handle by a first pin shaft, and a second end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to a tail end of the gear member by a second pin shaft.

2. The rivet gun according to claim 1 , wherein the second handle, the connecting rod, and the gear member are configured to define a double rocker mechanism.

3. The rivet gun according to claim 2 , wherein connection lines of axes of the first fixed shaft, the second fixed shaft, the first pin shaft, and the second pin shaft are configured to define a parallelogram.

4. The rivet gun according to claim 1 , wherein the gear member is made of a plurality of pieces stacked on each other.

5. The rivet gun according to claim 1 , wherein a torsion spring is arranged between the first handle and the second handle.

6. The rivet gun according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping-pulling mechanism further comprises a push rod, a spring, a claw, a restraining member, and a lead-in head; wherein the claw is arranged in an inner cavity of the restraining member, the claw and the restraining member are provided with mutually-engaged ramps, the push rod and the spring are arranged in an inner cavity of the pull rod in sequence, the restraining member is sleeved onto the pull rod, the clamping-pulling mechanism is such configured that when the pull rod is pushed forward, the lead-in head is abutted against the claw such that the claw compressing the spring by the push rod, the ramps are separated from each other, and the claw is opened, and when the pull rod is pulled back, under action of a restoring force of the spring, the push rod pushes the claw to cause the ramps to engage with each other, and the claw is tightened under a reaction force of the ramps.

7. The rivet gun according to claim 1 , wherein needles or balls are arranged between the pull rod and the housing.

8. The rivet gun according to claim 1 , wherein the first handle and the second handle are each provided with a handle sleeve, the handle sleeve of the first handle being provided with a protrusion; and tail portions of the first handle and the second handle are each further provided with a snap fastener.
