Definitions

  • Prior art includes US-A1-2002/158102 .
  • the present invention relates generally to fastener-driving tools, and particularly to such tools being powered electrically, by compressed gas, combustion or powder.
  • Powered fastener-driving tools incorporate a housing enclosing a cylinder. Slidably mounted within the cylinder is a piston assembly in communication on one side with a supply chamber and a return chamber on the opposite side thereof.
  • the piston assembly includes a piston head and a rigid driver blade that is disposed within the cylinder.
  • a movable valve plunger is oriented above the piston head. In its at-rest position this valve plunger prevents the drive chamber from communicating to the piston assembly and allows an air flow path to atmosphere above the piston assembly.
  • valve plunger In its actuated state, the valve plunger prevents or blocks the air flow path to atmosphere and allows an air flow path to the drive chamber
  • the movable valve plunger opens and exposes one side of the piston assembly to a compressed gas energy source.
  • the resulting pressure differential causes the piston and driver blade to be actuated downward to impact a positioned fastener and drive it into a workpiece.
  • Fasteners are fed into the nosepiece from a supply assembly, such as a magazine, where they are held in a properly positioned orientation for receiving the impact of the driver blade.
  • the piston As the piston is actuated downward, it drives the air inside the cylinder through a series of vents into the return chamber increasing the pressure in this chamber. After the fastening event has taken place, the valve plunger moves back to the at-rest position, blocking the supply chamber's air flow path to the piston head and releasing the pressure above the piston head through the path to atmosphere. At this time, the pressure built in the return chamber pushes the piston assembly back up towards the top of the cylinder. The air above the piston head is forced through the valve plunger's air flow path to atmosphere.
  • fastener-driving tools operate similarly in that a reciprocating driver blade drives fasteners fed to a nosepiece by a biased magazine.
  • the power source varies, with combustion, electric and powder operated tools being well known in the art.
  • a fastener-driving tool in an embodiment, includes a housing having an air connector, at least one of a power storage device and an electrical component associated with the housing and an electric motor assembly associated with the housing.
  • the electric motor assembly includes a fan where air is supplied to the housing through the air connector and moves through the housing and contacts the fan to cause the fan to rotate, rotation of the fan causing the electric motor to generate electricity that is directed to the at least one power storage device and the electrical component.
  • a fastener-driving tool in another embodiment, includes a housing having a pressurized air connector, a processor associated with the housing, at least one of a power storage device and an electrical component associated with the housing and an electric motor assembly associated with the housing and in communication with the processor, where the electric motor assembly includes a fan.
  • Pressurized air is supplied to the housing through a pressurized air connector on the housing and contacts the fan to cause the fan to rotate. Rotation of the fan causes the electric motor to generate electricity that is directed to the at least one power storage device and the electrical component by the processor.
  • the present invention relates generally to powered, fastener-driving tools, wherein the tools may be electrically powered, pneumatically powered, combustion powered, or powder activated, and more particularly to a powered fastener-driving tool including an electrical generator configured to generate electricity to be used by other components of the tool and/or stored in a storage device or a plurality of storage devices, such as one or more internal or rechargeable batteries for use during operation of the tool.
  • a powered fastener-driving tool including an electrical generator configured to generate electricity to be used by other components of the tool and/or stored in a storage device or a plurality of storage devices, such as one or more internal or rechargeable batteries for use during operation of the tool.
  • FIGs. 1 and 2 an example of a fastener-driving tool is illustrated where the fastener-driving tool is a pneumatic powered fastener-driving tool generally illustrated as 10.
  • the fastener-driving tool 10 embodies a control valve assembly and bumper arrangement.
  • the tool 10 may be of known construction, and, as illustrated, comprises a housing 12 including a generally vertically extending head or forward portion and a rearwardly extending hollow handle 14 having a cavity defining a fluid reservoir 16. Pressurized fluid such as compressed air is supplied to the fluid reservoir 16 of the tool by a suitable flexible line.
  • the drive system for the tool 10 includes a main or power cylinder 18 mounted within the head portion of the housing 12 and having an open upper end 18a that is adapted to be selectively connected to the reservoir 16. The open upper end of the cylinder 18 is in engagement with a main or cylinder valve assembly 20 of a known type, under the control of a control valve assembly 22.
  • a fastener-driving assembly 24 slidably mounted in the cylinder 18 includes a main or drive piston 26 and has connected thereto a depending drive blade member 28.
  • the fastener-driving assembly 24 is normally biased to a position with the piston 26 adjacent the cylinder valve assembly 20.
  • An exhaust valve assembly indicated generally as 30 is provided for controlling the selective connection of the upper end of the cylinder 18 to the atmosphere.
  • compressed fluid from the reservoir 16 enters the upper open end 18a of the cylinder 18 and drives the fastener-driving assembly 24 downwardly to engage and set a fastener or nail 32 supplied to a drive track 34 in a nosepiece or nosepiece structure 36.
  • the flow of compressed fluid in the upper end of the cylinder 18 is controlled by the main valve assembly 20, which includes a vertically movable ring member 38 defining a valve element.
  • the cylinder side of the ring member 38 is continuously in communication with the fluid reservoir 16 through a suitable passageway 40 so that pressurized fluid continuously acts against the cylinder side of the ring member 38 tending to displace the ring member 38 from the upper end or edge 18a of the cylinder 18.
  • pressurized fluid is also introduced to the opposite side of the ring member 38 through a passageway while the fastener-driving tool 10 is in a static or at rest position.
  • the differential pressure acting on the ring member 38 is effective to maintain the ring member 38 down, in a closed position, with a sealing ring 42 against the upper end 18a of the cylinder 18.
  • the pressurized fluid acting through the passageway 40 is effective to unseat the ring member 38 from the upper end or edge 18a of the cylinder 18 to dump pressurized fluid into the top of the main cylinder 18 and to drive the drive piston 26 through the drive stroke.
  • the exhaust valve assembly 30 includes a valve member 44 spaced below an inner surface of a downwardly projecting boss 46 defined in a cap 48 of the tool 10.
  • the cap 48 has a plurality of exhaust passageways 50 providing for the exhaust of the fluid when the ring member 38 is in its downward position.
  • a return air chamber 52 communicating with the lower end of the cylinder 18 through a plurality of fluid inlet ports 54 and a plurality of fluid outlet ports 56.
  • the drive piston 26 is provided with at least one 0-ring 58 for sealing the drive piston relative to an inner surface of the cylinder 18.
  • a piston assembly employed in the above fastener-driving tool is illustrated where the piston assembly, generally indicated as 70, includes a cylinder or sleeve 18 defining a through-hole 72.
  • a piston 26 is configured to reciprocally move within the cylinder 18 and has a circular top portion 74 and a driver blade 28 extending from the top portion for driving one or more fasteners into a workpiece.
  • the top portion 74 of the piston 26 is configured to have a size and shape that fits within the through-hole 72 of the cylinder 18.
  • the piston 26 is configured to move between a first position, where the top portion 74 of the piston 26 is at the top end of the cylinder and a second position, where the top portion 74 of the piston 26 is at a bottom end of the cylinder. As shown in FIGs. 7 and 8 , the piston 26 moves downwardly through the through-hole 72 in the cylinder 18 so that the driver blade 28 strikes a fastener 32 for driving that fastener into a workpiece. The piston 26 then returns to the top end of the cylinder 18 to repeat this operation.
  • One or more sensors or inductors are associated with the cylinder 18.
  • the one or more sensors or inductors are located on the cylinder.
  • Each inductor includes one or a plurality of coils 80 that are wound or wrapped around an outer surface or outer peripheral surface 82 of the cylinder 18 as shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the coils 80 are preferably wire coils, such as copper coils, or other suitable conductive metal coils.
  • a pair of electrical wires or cables 84 is attached to the coils 80 for transferring electrical energy or electricity from the coils as will be further described below.

It should also be appreciated that the sensor or sensors may be on an inside or outside surface of the cylinder, adjacent to the cylinder or on any suitable part of the tool relative to the cylinder and the piston.
  • the generated electricity or electrical energy may also be stored for subsequent use in one or more internal batteries or removable and rechargeable batteries.
  • the present piston assembly thereby utilizes the existing moving components of a fastener-driving tool to generate additional electrical energy, which in turn, conserves electrical energy or power stored in the internal tool power sources, such as the internal batteries and the removable and rechargeable main battery.
  • the amount of electrical energy or electricity generated by the present piston assembly 70 depends on three factors: the number of inductors and/or winds of the coil 80 on the cylinder 18, the strength of the magnetic field generated by the magnet 86 and the speed at which the magnetic field (i.e., the magnet) moves relative to or through the coil or coils 80. Adjusting or varying any one of these factors or more than one of these factors will vary the amount of the generated electricity that can be used to power or recharge one or more the internal batteries in the tool or other power sources. For example, increasing the number of coils on the sleeve will increase the amount of electrical energy or power generated by the present piston assembly. Similarly, increasing the strength of the magnet will increase the electrical energy or power generated by the piston assembly.

  • the piston 26b may have one or a plurality of annular magnetic rings 100 where the rings are concentric and spaced a predetermined distance from each other.
  • the present piston assembly 70 is illustrated where the top portion 74 of the piston 26 including the magnet 86 begins at a first position at the top of the cylinder 18 and moves to a second position at the bottom of the cylinder where the magnet passes the inductors including metal coils 80 thereby generating electricity that is transferred to one or more internal power sources of the tool by suitable wires or cables 81.
  • the amount of electricity generated by the present piston assembly depends on the number of coils 80 on the cylinder 18, the strength and/or the number of magnets 86 on the piston 26, and the speed at which the magnet on the top portion of the piston moves relative to the coils. Referring now to FIG.
  • FIG. 9 another piston assembly 90 is illustrated where a plurality of magnetic coil sections 92 on an outer surface 94 of the cylinder 18 each include one or more magnetic coils 96.
