Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pneumatic nailer with a main compressed air connection, a working piston and a muzzle tool, as for example in US 2010/0252607 A1 ,
  • pneumatic nailers With such pneumatic nailers, fasteners such as nails and clamps can be driven into workpieces by applying compressed air to the working piston.
  • stationary pneumatic nailers are known, which are integrated, for example, in more or less automatically working production lines, and, on the other hand, hand-held devices that are guided by an operator by hand. Handheld devices are widely used for a wide variety of uses.
  • the pneumatic nailer has a main compressed air connection, a working piston and a muzzle tool as well as a base plate arranged at the level of the muzzle tool with an underside, which faces a workpiece when using the pneumatic nailer and has at least one compressed air outlet, which is above a line in which a shut-off valve is arranged, is connected to the main compressed air connection.
  • a compressed air supply line can be connected to the main compressed air connection, via which the pneumatic nailer is supplied with compressed air. If compressed air is applied to the working piston, it provides the force required to drive in a fastener, usually with a driving plunger connected to the working piston. When driving in a fastener, the fastener is guided by the muzzle tool in the immediate vicinity of the workpiece.
  • the pneumatic nailer can have a magazine for accommodating a large number of fastening means, a main valve through which the compressed air enters a working cylinder in which the working piston is guided, a pilot valve that controls the main valve, and a trigger mechanism with a control valve.
  • the base plate has an underside facing a workpiece and is arranged at the level of the mouth tool. It can form a foot or a base of the pneumatic nailer, on which the pneumatic nailer can be placed on a workpiece. The pneumatic nailer is then in a position suitable for driving in fasteners, in which the mouth tool is arranged near a workpiece surface.
  • the underside is essentially flat, so that the pneumatic nailer can lie flat on a workpiece that has a flat surface.
  • the shut-off valve When the shut-off valve is open, compressed air flows from the main compressed air connection through the line to the at least one compressed air outlet. There, the compressed air emerges from the compressed air outlet, so that an air cushion is created between the underside of the base plate and the workpiece, on which the pneumatic nailer floats. As a result, the pneumatic nailer can be guided in any direction on the surface of the workpiece without noticeable effort.
  • the arrangement of the muzzle tool relative to the underside of the base plate is chosen so that fasteners can be driven in while the pneumatic nailer is floating on the air cushion described. This enables particularly continuous and effortless work.
  • a particular advantage compared to the pneumatic nailers supported on rollers described above is that even sensitive surfaces are not damaged. This applies in particular to insulation boards made of foamed plastic materials, which easily get pressure marks or cracks from the rolls mentioned.
  • Another advantage of the invention is the improved occupational safety in certain situations. In comparison to pneumatic nailers guided on rollers, it can be prevented very easily that the pneumatic nailer moves unintentionally, since in a closed position of the shut-off valve no air cushion is created and the pneumatic nailer rests firmly on its base plate. Pneumatic nailers guided on rollers, on the other hand, always run the risk of accidentally rolling away after an operator has released them.
  • the at least one compressed air outlet is arranged in at least one depression on the underside of the base plate.
  • each compressed air outlet can be arranged in its own depression.
  • the depressions are formed in the underside of the base plate.
  • the recesses promote the formation of evenly effective air cushions.
  • the depressions can have any geometry, for example circular, oval, rectangular or trapezoidal.
  • the depressions can have a uniform depth and correspondingly a flat bottom, but also a varying depth. For example, the depth of the depressions can range from 0.5 mm to 6 mm.
  • the line via which the compressed air is fed opens into the depression, in particular into a bottom of the depression.
  • a throttle is arranged in the line, with which an air flow through the line can be adjusted. With the throttle, the air flow can be adjusted so that when the shut-off valve is open, a sufficient air cushion is formed with the lowest possible air consumption.
  • the throttle can be preset once at the factory to an optimal value.
  • An externally accessible throttle adjustable by a user, is also possible, with which the air flow can be adapted to different application situations. Which air flow is required to form a sufficient air cushion depends in particular on the workpiece surfaces to be processed.
  • silencers can be inserted or screwed into the mouths of the compressed air outlets, which reduce the noise level of the outflowing air.
  • the line runs at least partially within the base plate. There it is protected from external influences and a particularly compact construction of the pneumatic nailer is possible.
  • the lines which open at the individual compressed air outlets or in the individual depressions can be arranged within the base plate and brought together therein to form a common line.
  • a particularly simple supply of compressed air to the plurality of compressed air outlets is then possible via a common line section within the base plate. Sections of the line that do not run inside the base plate can be formed, for example, by a hose or a housing interior.
  • a section of the line is formed by a hose, one end of the hose being connected to a compressed air connection to an upper side of the base plate opposite the underside and the other end of the hose being connected to a branch line of the main compressed air connection or to a ventilated interior of a housing of the Pneumatic nailer is connected.
  • the main compressed air connection is usually located on a housing that houses the working piston, among other things, for pneumatic nailers of conventional design.
  • the base plate is at a distance from this housing, which is bridged by the hose in the embodiment mentioned.
  • the branch line of the main compressed air connection can be arranged inside or outside the housing of the pneumatic nailer. If the branch line is provided on the main compressed air connection itself, outside of a housing to which the main compressed air connection is attached, a pneumatic nailer which is conventional with regard to its housing can be used and supplemented with a base plate designed according to the invention.
  • the underside of the base plate has a plurality of compressed air outlets which are arranged symmetrically to a longitudinal axis of the base plate.
  • the use of several compressed air outlets or depressions enables a particularly uniform air cushion to be built up, in particular if the workpiece surface has unevenness which leads to excessive escape of compressed air in certain areas.
  • the base plate can also slide up to a third beyond the edge of the workpiece. In both cases, the compressed air outlets or depressions arranged in other areas continue to ensure the desired state of suspension.
  • the symmetrical arrangement of the compressed air outlets / depressions counteracts involuntary, lateral movements of the pneumatic nailer over the workpiece surface.
  • the base plate has a recess in which the mouth tool is arranged.
  • the mouth tool can also be arranged laterally next to an edge of the base plate.
  • the edges of the base plate can be used particularly easily to guide the mouth tool at a certain distance, for example in front of a workpiece edge.
  • the muzzle tool is laterally protected by the base plate.
  • the recess can in particular be arranged close to an edge of the base plate, so that the mouth tool is surrounded on three sides by the base plate. In this case, the muzzle tool is particularly easily accessible via the open side of the base plate.
  • the base plate has a rectangular basic shape with a short side in which the recess is arranged, the corners adjacent to the recess being chamfered.
  • the corners mentioned can be sharply chamfered, in particular at an angle of approximately 45 °, so that the short side of the rectangle essentially corresponds to the region of the recess and two inclined surfaces directly adjoin the recess.
  • the two inclined surfaces can then have an angle of approximately 90 ° to one another.
  • the described geometry enables fasteners to be driven into the corner areas of workpieces as well as the setting of clamps at an angle of approximately 45 ° along a workpiece edge.
  • the pneumatic nailer has a first handle with a first actuating element, the actuation of which opens the shut-off valve arranged in the line.
  • first actuating element can be secured against unintentional actuation, for example by an unlocking element arranged adjacent to the actuating element, the actuation of which unlocks the movement of the first actuating element.
  • the pneumatic nailer has a second handle with a second actuating element, the actuation of which triggers a driving-in process.
  • the second actuating element can only release the driving-in process if the first actuating element is actuated and the state of suspension is established.
  • the first handle and / or the second handle is fastened to the base plate and extends upward from the base plate.
  • the first handle and / or the second handle can extend obliquely upwards from the base plate, it being possible for a longitudinal axis of the respective handle to be arranged at an angle between 30 ° and 80 ° relative to the underside.
  • the two handles can be arranged at a lateral distance from one another on a rear end of the base plate remote from the muzzle tool and can be inclined forward. Then the pneumatic nailer can be gripped and guided particularly easily with both hands by the right hand gripping the first handle and the left hand gripping the second handle.
  • the pneumatic nailer has a free-kick protection with two sensors arranged on the side of the mouth tool, which detect the presence of a workpiece.
  • the sensors can in particular be arranged to the side of the muzzle tool and slightly in front of it.
  • optical or capacitive sensors can be used as sensors.
  • the sensors are preferably designed in such a way that they detect the presence of a workpiece at a distance of 4 mm or less from the underside of the base plate, on both sides of the mouth tool. If both sensors respond, it can be assumed with great certainty that a section of the workpiece is also arranged below the mouth tool, so that a driving-in process can be triggered without fear of injury to the operator.
  • the pneumatic nailer has a controller and a sensor connected to the controller, which measures a distance traveled when the pneumatic nailer moves along a surface of a workpiece, the controller being designed to trigger a driving-in process at predeterminable intervals.
  • the sensor can in particular be an optical path measuring device be and work on a similar principle as the sensor of a computer mouse. The above-mentioned configuration makes it possible to automatically drive in fastening means at exactly the intended intervals when the pneumatic nailer is guided manually over the surface.
  • the pneumatic nailer shown in the figures has a main compressed air connection 10 which is fastened to a rear housing section 12 of the pneumatic nailer.
  • the front housing section 14 has a cylindrical basic shape and is oriented essentially vertically. It holds a working piston of the pneumatic nailer, which is not visible in the figures.
  • a handle 16 is arranged between the rear housing part 12 and the front housing part 14. Interiors of the rear housing section 12 and the front housing section 14 are ventilated via the main compressed air connection 10, i.e. they are always under pressure when the main compressed air connection 10 is connected to a pressurized supply line.
  • the pneumatic nailer also has a mouth tool 18, at the level of which a base plate 20 is arranged.
  • the base plate 20 has a substantially rectangular Basic shape on with two long sides that form the side edges of the base plate 20.
  • a magazine 22 is arranged between the base plate 20 and the rear housing section 12 and can hold a supply of fastening means.
  • the front, short side of the base plate 20 has a recess 24 in which the mouth tool 18 is arranged.
  • the recess 24 surrounds the mouth tool 18 on three sides.
  • the two inclined sides 26 are arranged at an angle of approximately 90 ° relative to one another.
  • the base plate 20 has an underside 28 which faces a workpiece when the pneumatic nailer is used.
  • the underside 28 is essentially flat and has a plurality of depressions 30.
  • Four of the depressions 30 are circular and strung together along a central longitudinal axis of the underside 28.
  • the base plate 20 has two further, trapezoidal depressions 32.
  • a compressed air outlet opens into each of the depressions 30, 32, the opening of which at the bottom of the respective depression 30, 32 in the Fig. 1 is visible.
  • Lines leading to the compressed air outlets initially run above the depressions 30, 32 within the base plate 20, in which they converge and are led to a compressed air connection 34 which is arranged on an upper side 36 of the base plate 20 opposite the underside 28.
  • the line continues from the compressed air connection 34 via a hose, not shown in the figures, to a branch line, also not shown, which is connected to the main compressed air connection 10.
  • a first handle 42 is located on a right, rear end of the base plate 20. It has a first actuating element in the form of a lever 44 with which a shut-off valve, which is arranged in the first handle 42 and is not shown in the figures, is actuated.
  • the shut-off valve is located in a section of the line which is arranged between the depressions 30, 32 and the main compressed air connection 10. When the lever 44 is actuated, the shut-off valve is opened and compressed air flows from the main compressed air connection 10 into the depressions 30, 32, as a result of which an air cushion forms below the base plate 20.
  • a second handle 38 which also points obliquely upwards from the base plate 20 and comprises a release lever 40 as the second actuating element.
  • a driving-in process can be triggered by actuating the trigger lever 40.
  • the pneumatic nailer shown is designed with a free-shot safety device, which has two capacitive sensors 46 arranged on both sides of the cutout 24 or of the mouth tool 18 on the underside 28 of the base plate 20.
  • the free-kick safeguard comprises a battery-operated, electronic control which only allows a driving-in process to be triggered with the trigger lever 40 if both capacitive sensors 46 simultaneously detect the presence of a workpiece at a short distance.
