Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an impact tool such as a nailing machine driven by compressed air, which holds a striking piston at a top dead center position in a striking cylinder. The present invention relates to a striking piston holding mechanism for a compressed air driven impact tool. 2. Description of the Related Art For example, in an impact tool such as a nailing machine driven by compressed air, a striking piston integrally joined with a driver for striking a nail is housed slidably in a striking cylinder. The striking piston is held at the top dead center of the striking cylinder before driving. Compressed air is supplied into the striking cylinder to drive the striking piston in the direction of the bottom dead center in the striking cylinder, and a nail is driven by a driver integrally connected to the striking piston. After the nail driving is completed, the impact piston is returned to the top dead center position by the compressed air acting on the lower surface side by the return mechanism, and is returned to the top dead center position by the impact piston holding mechanism to wait for the next drive. Will be retained. [0003] The striking piston holding mechanism holds the striking piston at the top dead center position until the pressure of the compressed air introduced into the striking cylinder becomes sufficiently high. Release the piston,
Drive the striking piston with high pressure. Particularly, in the case of a nailing machine in which an air chamber is not formed around the impact cylinder and a head valve mechanism having a large opening area for opening and closing the air chamber and the interior of the impact cylinder is not used, compressed air is supplied into the cylinder. The operating speed of the main valve for changing the pressure changes the rise speed of the air pressure supplied into the striking cylinder, and the driving energy value of the striking piston fluctuates accordingly. Such a nailing machine requires a striking piston holding mechanism for securely holding the striking piston at the top dead center position until the pressure of the compressed air supplied to the striking cylinder becomes sufficiently high. A conventional striking piston holding mechanism has a boss protruding above a striking piston and having a projecting portion projecting outwardly, and this projecting portion is formed as a piston stop made of an elastic material. This was to be hooked and held on the locking portion. However, in this structure, when the striking piston returns from the bottom dead center to the top dead center, the momentum of the returning operation of the striking piston is required to insert the boss into the locking portion, and this engagement is facilitated. If the shape of the locking part and the convex part is made small, the holding force cannot be sufficiently secured, and the striking piston is driven in a state where the pressure of the compressed air supplied into the cylinder is low, so that the striking piston is largely driven. There was a problem that energy could not be given and drive energy varied due to variations in the operating speed of the main valve. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems and can maintain the striking piston at the top dead center position without great resistance when the striking piston returns.
When the striking piston is driven, the striking piston is securely held at the top dead center position until the air pressure supplied to the striking cylinder becomes sufficiently large, and when the compressed air pressure in the striking cylinder reaches a predetermined pressure. It is another object of the present invention to provide a striking piston holding mechanism that can release the striking piston to a completely free state. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a striking piston holding mechanism for a compressed air driven impact tool according to the present invention comprises a striking piston slidably housed in a striking cylinder. An impact tool, which is driven by impact with compressed air introduced into a cylinder, comprises a striking piston stop formed of an elastic material and having a downwardly-facing cylindrical portion and a concave portion formed integrally with the inside of the cylindrical portion. It is arranged at the upper end of the impact cylinder, and when the impact piston is arranged at the top dead center of the impact cylinder, the boss portion formed on the upper surface of the impact piston is accommodated in the recess and the cylindrical portion is The lower end face is tightly sealed to the upper surface of the striking piston so as to partition the outer peripheral surface side and the inside of the cylindrical portion, and the compressed air supplied into the striking cylinder is applied to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion. It is characterized by acting to hold the boss portion housed in the recess. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a nailing machine in which a striking piston holding mechanism of the present invention is implemented.
A striking cylinder 2 is arranged in a hollow housing 1, and a striking piston 4 having a driver 3 for striking a nail coupled to a lower surface is slidably accommodated in the striking cylinder 2. The upper portion of the impact cylinder 2 is covered with a cylinder cap 5 forming a part of the housing 1,
A rubber piston stop 6 arranged inside the cylinder cap 5 receives the striking piston 4 at the top dead center position. Between the inner peripheral surface of the housing 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the striking cylinder 2, there is formed a flow passage 7 for compressed air introduced into the striking cylinder 2 for driving the striking piston 4. The starting valve mechanism 10 is communicated with the starting valve mechanism 10 through the air passage 8. The inside of the grip part 1a formed hollow integrally with the housing 1 is formed as an air chamber 9 for storing compressed air supplied from a compressed air source. The starting valve mechanism 10 includes a main valve 12 for selectively connecting the inside of the impact cylinder 2 to an air chamber 9 and an exhaust passage 11, and a trigger valve 13 for operating the main valve 12. Normally, the main valve 12 is connected to the air passage 8 and the air chamber 9.
And the air passage 8 is communicated with the exhaust passage 11. When the trigger valve 13 is manually operated, the main valve 12 is operated to connect the striking cylinder 2 and the air chamber 9 to supply compressed air into the striking cylinder. At this time, the impact cylinder 2 and the exhaust path 11
The interval is shut off. As shown in detail in FIG.
A piston stop 6 made of an elastic material such as rubber is arranged at the upper end of the cylinder cap 5 so as to be held between the piston stop 6 and the cylinder cap 5. The piston stop 6 is integrally formed with a cylindrical portion 14 formed downward so as to be fitted inside the upper end portion of the impact cylinder 2, and a concave portion 15 is formed inside the cylindrical portion 14. Is formed. A boss 16 fitted into the recess 15 of the piston stop 6 is formed on the upper surface of the striking piston 4 so as to protrude toward the upper surface. When the striking piston 4 is disposed at the top dead center position,
The boss 16 is accommodated in the recess 15. A flat annular sealing surface 17 is formed on the upper end surface of the impact piston 4 on the outer side of the boss portion 16, and the annular sealing surface 17 is formed with a flat surface 18 formed at the downward end of the cylindrical portion 14. They are arranged to be in close contact. When the striking piston 4 is located at the top dead center position in the striking cylinder 2, the flat surface 18 of the cylindrical portion 14 tightly seals with the annular sealing surface 17 of the striking piston 4, and the inside of the recess 15 of the piston stop 6. The outer peripheral surface side of the cylindrical portion 14 is defined by the annular sealing surface 17. An opening 19 continuous with the flow path 7 is formed in a peripheral wall near the upper end of the impact cylinder 2.
Compressed air supplied from the starting valve mechanism 10 through the striking cylinder 2 is introduced into the striking cylinder 2. When the striking piston 4 is arranged at the top dead center position in the striking cylinder 2, the compressed air introduced into the striking cylinder 2 causes the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 14 of the piston stop 6 and the annular sealing surface to move. 1
7 acts on the outer peripheral surface of the upper surface of the striking piston 4. The compressed air acting on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 14 deforms the cylindrical portion 14 from the outside in a radially-reducing direction, and causes the boss 16 accommodated in the concave portion 15 to be held in the concave portion 15. As shown in detail in FIG. 3, a ridge 20 bulging in the outer diameter direction is formed on an outer peripheral surface of an upper end portion of the boss portion 16, and the ridge 20 bites into an inner wall surface of the concave portion 15. And the holding force of the striking piston 4 is increased. The size of the ridge 20 is set so that the driving energy value of the striking piston 4 is equal to or larger than a predetermined value. An enlarged diameter portion 21 whose inner diameter is slightly enlarged is formed at the upper end portion of the impact cylinder 2, and an O-ring 22 mounted on the impact piston 4 is housed in the enlarged diameter portion 21. When the O-ring 22 is caught on the shoulder 21a at the lower end of the enlarged diameter portion 21, a locking structure for preventing the striking piston 4 from moving in the direction of the bottom dead center is formed. The locking structure formed between the striking cylinder 2 and the O-ring 22 of the striking piston 4
Striking piston 4 with no compressed air supplied
In the direction of bottom dead center. The operation of the above embodiment will be described below. In a state where the starting valve mechanism 10 is not operated, the striking piston 4 is disposed at the top dead center position in the striking cylinder 2, and the boss 16 formed in the striking piston 4 is formed in the piston stop 6. Is accommodated in the recess 15 which is
The flat portion 18 at the lower end of the cylindrical portion 14 is on standby in a state in which it is in close contact with the annular sealing surface 17 on the upper surface of the striking piston 4. The main holding force of the striking piston 4 in this state is the enlarged diameter portion 21 at the upper end of the striking cylinder 2 and the shoulder 21 a of the enlarged diameter portion 21.
The O-ring 22 is locked by the O-ring 22. When the starting valve mechanism 10 is operated to allow the main valve 12 to communicate between the striking cylinder 2 and the air chamber 9, the air in the air chamber 9 flows through the striking cylinder 2 through the air passage 8 and the flow path 7. Introduced through the opening 19. The compressed air introduced into the striking cylinder 2 acts on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 14 of the piston stop 6 and presses and deforms the cylindrical portion 14 in the inner diameter direction, so that the concave portion 15 formed inside the cylindrical portion 14 is formed. Is deformed in the diameter reducing direction, so that the concave portion 1 is formed.
The boss 16 of the striking piston 4 housed in the nip 5 is pinched and held. At this time, the compressed air
The compressed air acts only on the outer peripheral side of the annular seal surface 17 because the flat surface 18 at the lower end of the cylindrical portion 14 is in close contact with the annular seal surface 17 on the upper surface of the striking piston 4. are doing. Therefore, when the compressed air pressure introduced into the striking cylinder 2 is not sufficiently high, the holding force of the boss portion 16 by the concave portion 15 is larger than the driving force acting on the outer peripheral portion of the striking piston 4, and the striking piston 4 is dead. It is held at the point position. When the pressure of the compressed air introduced into the striking cylinder 2 increases, the force acting on the upper surface of the striking piston 4 in the direction of bottom dead center increases, and the recess 15
The striking piston 4 is driven in the direction of the bottom dead center in the striking cylinder 2 by overcoming the holding force for holding the boss portion 16. At this time, the flat surface 18 of the cylindrical portion 14 and the annular sealing surface 17 of the striking piston 4 separate from each other, and the compressed air pressure acts on the entire upper end surface of the striking piston 4. Since the piston 4 is driven by acting on the entire surface, a large driving energy is given to the striking piston 4. When the striking piston 4 driven to the bottom dead center is returned to the top dead center, the compressed air in the striking cylinder 2 is exhausted through the exhaust path 11 and the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 14 of the piston stop 6 is stopped. Since the same pressure is acting on the surface and the inner peripheral surface, the cylindrical portion 14 is not deformed, so that the boss portion 16 of the striking piston 4 is accommodated in the recess 15 without resistance. The striking piston 4 is locked by the enlarged diameter portion 21 at the upper end of the striking cylinder 2 and the shoulder 21a of the enlarged diameter portion.
It is held at the top dead center position by the ring 22. According to the present invention, a cylindrical portion is formed in the piston stop and a concave portion is formed inside the cylindrical portion, and the boss portion of the striking piston is accommodated in the concave portion so that the piston can be inserted into the striking cylinder. The boss portion is held by deforming the cylindrical portion in the inner diameter direction by the pressure of the supplied compressed air, and the cylindrical portion is tightly sealed with the upper surface of the striking piston, so that the outer peripheral portion and the inner side of the striking piston are And the area where the compressed air supplied to the striking cylinder acts on the striking piston upper surface is limited to a small area. Can be. Also, when the impact piston returns, the same pressure acts on the inside and outside of the tubular portion, so that the tubular portion is not deformed, and the impact piston is held at the top dead center position without a large resistance. Even if the operating speed of the main valve of the valve mechanism fluctuates and the pressure rise speed of the compressed air supplied into the cylinder fluctuates, the piston is reliably dead-dead until the pressure in the impact cylinder becomes sufficiently high. Thus, the striking piston can be driven at a sufficiently high compressed air pressure, and the striking piston can be driven with a stable energy value.
