Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety switch mechanism for a gardening tool.
  • the safety switch mechanism of the shredder always adopts a slider button and is generally mounted between the main body and the cut-off material collecting box; that is, providing a slider button and a pin member on the cut-off material collecting box and mounting a pin lock on the main body. Pushing the slider button upwards drives the pin member to move upwards accordingly to be cooperated and connected with the pin lock; as a result, the safety switch is triggered.
  • a column and a plane inside of the slider button generate interference fit with a lug boss on the cut-off material collecting box, so as to press the slider button and stop the pin member from falling down after switching on the gardening tool; however, the lug boss will be worn continuously in use, and the magnitude of interference will become less and less gradually, while the pressure to the slider button becomes smaller and smaller.
  • the gardening tool is running, if it vibrates greatly, the slider button may probably fall off back to the shutdown position, and the gardening tool will stop running accidentally. Therefore, it shows that this kind of safety switch mechanisms is poor in durability and stability.
  • the present invention aims at providing an improved safety switch mechanism for a gardening tool with enhanced durability and stability, so as to overcome the above disadvantages in the prior art.
  • a safety switch mechanism for a gardening tool comprising a cover plate, a pin lock, and a pin component which is cooperated and connected with the pin lock

  • the knob 50 and the crank 17 are fixedly connected with each other, and the pin member 41 is connected with the crank 17 through the connecting rod 13.
  • one end of the connecting rod 13 is provided with a first connecting column 15, and the other end is provided with a pair of second connecting columns 14.
  • the crank 17 is provided with a connection portion 16, on which a first connection hole 18 is provided.
  • the connecting rod 13 is inserted into the gap between the two pieces of clamp plates 42 of the pin member 41; at the same time, the second connecting columns 14 and the second connection holes 47 are connected together, while the first connecting column 15 is connected together with the first connection hole 18.
  • the connecting rod 13 can rotate about the first connecting column 15 and the second connecting column 14.
  • the crank 17 is also provided with a plurality of connecting columns 19, screw holes 20, elastic sheets 21 and a pair of positioning slots 23.
  • Optimal number of the connecting columns 19 is 4, and the connecting columns 19 and the screw holes 20 are cooperated and connected with the knob 50, while the optimal connection way of the crank 17 and the knob 50 is screw connection.
  • the cover plate 33 is provided with a baffle 36, a cover plate column 29, a cover plate slot 24 and a positioning column 31.
  • the first elastic element, torsional spring 27, is sleeved on the cover plate column 29, with one end connected with the baffle 36, and the other end connected with crank 17. When the crank 17 rotates, two ends thereof abut against the baffle 36 and the crank 17 separately; and always provide a resetting force for the crank 17.
  • the crank sleeve 10 is provided with a through hole 9, and the crank 17 is cooperated and connected with the through hole 9, and the crank 17 can rotate inside of the through hole 9.
  • the second electric element, compressed spring 11, is mounted between the pin sleeve 4 and the pin member 41, with two ends thereof abutting against the top inner wall of the pin sleeve 4 and the top of the pin member 41.
  • the center of rotation of the crank 17 and the knob 50 is numbered as 71
  • rotating trace of the fist connection hole 18 on the crank 17 is a segment of circular arc 70 around the center of rotation 71
  • the segment of circular arc has two ends E and F, when the fist connection hole 18 is on the F end of the circular arc, the safety switch mechanism of the present invention is powered off; and when the fist connection hole 18 is on the E end of the circular arc, the safety switch mechanism of the present invention is powered on.
  • an angle B between the segment of circular arc 70 and the center of rotation 71 is 130°.
  • the pin component 5 includes a vertical axis 1 that passes through the center of rotation 71.
  • the knob 50 When it is necessary to power on the gardening tool, the knob 50 is rotated clockwise to drive the crank 17 to rotate, as a result, the connecting rod 13 gradually overlaps with the vertical axis a and pushes the pin member 41 upwards; when the connecting rod 13 rotates and passes through the vertical axis a, and forms an optimal angle A with the vertical axis a, the optimal angle A in the preferred embodiment being 8° ( Fig.6 ), namely the fist connection hole 18 of the crank 17 rotates to the E end of the circular arc 70.

  • the safety switch mechanism of the present invention can stably maintain the optimal angle A of the connecting rod 13; even if the gardening tool vibrates greatly in use, it will not stop working because of the pin member 41 separating from the pin lock 3.
  • the safety switch mechanism for a gardening tool of the present invention is good in durability and stability.
  • the knob 50 when it is necessary to shut down the safety switch mechanism, the knob 50 is rotated anticlockwise to drive the crank 17 to rotate anticlockwise, as a result, the connecting rod 13, the pin member 41 and the pin sleeve 4 move downwards; when the connecting rod 13 passes through the vertical axis a, even if the user lets the knob 50 go, because of the elastic restoring force of the compressed spring 11 and the torsional spring 27, the crank 17, the knob 50 and the connecting rod 13 will not stop, but automatically and continuously move till the pins 48 completely separate from the pin lock 3; therefore, it can prevent the pins 48 from being broken when the user pulls the cut-off material collecting box 102 out while the pins 48 are not completely separated from the pin lock.
  • the main body 101 of the gardening tool has a surface portion 111 with a discharge opening 113 for cut-off material (e.g. mown grass) or shreddered pieces.
  • a dangerous devices 115 may operate, such as a rotating knife or blade, a shredder or the like, driven by an electric or combustion motor 116.
  • the pin lock 3 may be arranged accessible from outside of the main body.
  • the cut-off material collecting box 102 has a surface portion 112 that is designed matching to the mentioned main body surface portion 111. It has a matching material receiving opening 114 and has the cover plate 33 and the devices 4 and 5 seqq at a location matching that of the pin lock 3.
  • the safety switch mechanism deenergizes the main body in that the electric supply to a driving motor 116 is interrupted by the pin lock 3 so that the dangerous device is forcedly in-operative.
  • the opening 113 of the body is closed.
  • the pin lock 3 is engaged by the pins 48 of the pin member 41 and removes thereby the interruption of the electrical path. Accordingly, the driving motor is no longer forcedly in-operative, but can be operated by other and usual devices such as an electric switch (not shown).
