Abstract

A nail gun includes: a housing formed with an accommodating space; a cylinder; a firing assembly capable of moving from an initial position to a firing position; a power output assembly disposed in the accommodating space and used for outputting a driving force; and a drive wheel connected to an output shaft of the power output assembly and used for driving, under the drive of the power output assembly, the firing assembly to move. The drive wheel has a first drive tooth and second drive teeth, the radius of the addendum circle of the first drive tooth is less than the radius of the addendum circle of a second drive tooth, the first drive tooth is a drive tooth disposed at a start end of the drive wheel, and the first drive tooth meshes with the firing assembly when the drive wheel starts driving the firing assembly to reset.

Claims (29)

1 . A nail gun, comprising:

a housing formed with an accommodating space;

a cylinder connected to the housing and used for storing gases;

a firing assembly, at least partially disposed in the cylinder, capable of moving from an initial position to a firing position in the cylinder to drive a nail, and comprising a piston disposed in the cylinder and a firing pin fixed to the piston;

a power output assembly disposed in the accommodating space and used for outputting a driving force to drive the firing assembly to move in the cylinder; and

a drive wheel connected to an output shaft of the power output assembly and used for driving, under the drive of the power output assembly, the firing assembly to move in the cylinder;

wherein the drive wheel has a first drive tooth and second drive teeth, a radius of an addendum circle of the first drive tooth is less than a radius of an addendum circle of each of the second drive teeth, the first drive tooth is a drive tooth disposed at a start end of the drive wheel, and the first drive tooth meshes with the firing assembly when the drive wheel starts driving the firing assembly to reset,

wherein a plurality of transmission teeth are disposed on the firing pin to mesh with drive teeth of the drive wheel and are driven by the drive wheel to move in the cylinder, the plurality of transmission teeth comprises a first transmission tooth, a second transmission tooth, and a third transmission tooth in sequence from nearer to the piston, and a distance between the second transmission tooth and the third transmission tooth is less than a distance between the first transmission tooth and the second transmission tooth.

2 . The nail gun according to claim 1 , wherein the second drive teeth are drive teeth on the drive wheel except the first drive tooth.

3 . The nail gun according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the radius of the addendum circle of the first drive tooth to the radius of the addendum circle of each of the second drive teeth is higher than or equal to 0.5 and lower than 1.

4 . The nail gun according to claim 1 , wherein a meshing length existing between a drive tooth on the drive wheel except the first drive tooth and a transmission tooth of the firing pin except the second transmission tooth is defined, a first difference exists between the radius of the addendum circle of the first drive tooth and the radius of the addendum circle of each of the second drive teeth, and a ratio of the first difference to the meshing length is higher than or equal to 0.2 and lower than or equal to 0.7.

5 . The nail gun according to claim 1 , wherein a tooth height of the second transmission tooth is less than a tooth height of the first transmission tooth or a tooth height of the third transmission tooth.

6 . The nail gun according to claim 4 , wherein a second difference exists between a tooth height of the first transmission tooth and a tooth height of the second transmission tooth, and a ratio of the second difference to the meshing length is lower than 1.

7 . The nail gun according to claim 1 , further comprising a first back stopping member, wherein the first back stopping member is used for blocking a movement of the firing assembly from the initial position to the firing position; and a second back stopping member, wherein the second back stopping member and the drive wheel are coaxially connected to the output shaft, and the second back stopping member cooperates with the first back stopping member to block the movement of the firing assembly from the initial position to the firing position.

8 . The nail gun according to claim 7 , wherein the second back stopping member is a cam with a protruding portion and a non-protruding portion.

9 . The nail gun according to claim 8 , wherein the drive wheel comprises a first section where a plurality of drive teeth are uniformly distributed and a smooth continuous second section, the protruding portion of the cam corresponds to the second section of the drive wheel in a axial direction of the output shaft, and the non-protruding portion of the cam corresponds to the first section of the drive wheel in the axial direction of the output shaft.

10 . The nail gun according to claim 8 , wherein a joint between the protruding portion of the cam and the non-protruding portion of the cam has a curved surface or a plane which is continuous and smooth.

11 . The nail gun according to claim 8 , wherein the first back stopping member comprises: a locking portion, wherein the locking portion locks the firing assembly when the firing assembly is located in the initial position or near the initial position; a driven member, wherein the driven member is capable of being pushed by the protruding portion of the cam to drive the locking portion to unlock the firing assembly so that the firing assembly is capable of moving from the initial position to the firing position to complete a firing action; and an elastic member connected to the locking portion and capable of pushing the locking portion to lock the firing assembly.

12 . The nail gun according to claim 11 , wherein a direction of a pushing force applied to the locking portion by the driven member is opposite to a direction of an elastic force applied to the locking portion by the elastic member.

13 . The nail gun according to claim 11 , wherein the elastic member comprises a spring or a spring contact.

14 . A nail gun, comprising:

a housing formed with an accommodating space;

a cylinder connected to the housing and used for storing gases;

a firing assembly at least partially disposed in the cylinder and capable of moving from an initial position to a firing position in the cylinder to drive a nail;

a power output assembly disposed in the accommodating space and used for outputting a driving force to drive the firing assembly to move in the cylinder; and

a drive wheel connected to an output shaft of the power output assembly and used for driving, under the drive of the power output assembly, the firing assembly to move in the cylinder;

wherein the drive wheel has a first drive tooth and second drive teeth, a ratio of a radius of an addendum circle of the first drive tooth to a radius of an addendum circle of each of the second drive teeth is higher than or equal to 0.5 and lower than 1, the first drive tooth is a drive tooth disposed at a start end of the drive wheel, and the first drive tooth meshes with the firing assembly when the drive wheel starts driving the firing assembly to reset, and

wherein the firing assembly comprises a piston disposed in the cylinder and a firing pin fixed to the piston, a plurality of transmission teeth are disposed on a side of the firing pin, and a back stopping tooth is disposed on another side of the firing pin.

15 . The nail gun according to claim 14 , wherein the back stopping tooth is a ratchet, and a tooth tip of the ratchet faces the firing position.
