【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は除塵作業等を行うために圧縮空気を任意に放出するエアダスタ及びエアダスタ付き釘打機に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
エアダスタ1は、図7、図8に示す如く、除塵作業を行う箇所にノズル10を向け、エアダスタ1を保持した手で放出弁7の操作子9を引く(図7)または操作子9を押す(図8)という操作で、エアホースを介して圧縮空気供給源から供給された圧縮空気をノズル10の開口部12から放出して粉塵、木屑等を除去するものである。
【0003】
図7は操作子9を引くタイプのエアダスタ1である。ボデー2には、保持した手の人差し指で引いて操作できるように操作子9が配設されている。ボデー2先端には圧縮空気を放出するノズル10、ハンドル3端部にはエアホースを接続するためのプラグ4が設けられている。プラグ4と放出弁7は空気通路5を介して連通し、放出弁7とノズル10は空気通路14を介して連通している。放出弁7には、大気と空気通路14を常時遮断するOリング13、操作子9の非操作時及び操作時に空気通路5と空気通路14を遮断及び連通させるOリング15が設けられている
放出弁7は、バルブブッシュ18の軸方向に摺動し、Oリング15とバルブブッシュ18がシールするシール面の直径φCが、Oリング13とバルブブッシュ18がシールするシール面の直径φDより大きく設定されている。スプリング16の付勢力とプラグ4からの圧縮空気による荷重が放出弁7の端面すなわちφC全面にかかっている。
【0004】
図8は操作子9を押すタイプのエアダスタ1である。ボデー2を保持した手の親指が届く範囲に放出弁7の操作子9が設けられている。空気通路5は、プラグ4からハンドル3を通り、ノズル10側から回り込んで放出弁室8と連通している。空気通路14は、Oリング13とOリング15の間から回り込んでノズル10と連通している。操作子9の非操作時には、スプリング16の付勢力と共にプラグ4からの圧縮空気による荷重が放出弁7の端面すなわちφC全面にかかっている。
【0005】
エアダスタ付き釘打機19を図4、図9、図10を参照して説明する。釘打作業と除塵作業が行えるエアダスタ付き釘打機19を例えば特許文献1で提案した。除塵作業を行う箇所にノズル10を向け、釘打機本体を保持した手で放出弁7の操作子9を押すと、蓄圧室28に蓄えられた圧縮空気をノズル10の開口部12から放出して粉塵、木屑等を除去する。
【0006】
ボデー33の上側には主弁上室22及び蓄圧室28の一部を構成するエキゾーストカバー39がボルト等によって締結されている。エキゾーストカバー39には、ボデー33を保持した手の親指もしくは人差し指の可動範囲内に放出弁7の操作子9が打込み制御用の制御弁20とは別に独立して設けられ、またエキゾーストカバー39の上方凹部40には圧縮空気を放出するノズル10が設けられている。
蓄圧室28と放出弁7は空気通路5を介して連通し、放出弁7とノズル10は空気通路14を介して連通している。放出弁7には、大気と空気通路14を常時遮断するOリング13、操作子9の非操作時及び操作時に空気通路5と空気通路14を遮断及び連通させるOリング15が設けられている。
【0007】
放出弁7は、バルブブッシュ18の軸方向に摺動し、Oリング15とバルブブッシュ18がシールするシール面の直径φCが、Oリング13とバルブブッシュ18がシールするシール面の直径φDより大きく設定されている。スプリング16の付勢力と蓄圧室28からの圧縮空気による荷重が放出弁7の端面すなわちφC全面にかかっている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
図7に示す操作子9を引くタイプのエアダスタ1では、放出弁7、空気通路5と空気通路14の配置は構造上複雑にはならないが、図8に示す操作子9を押すタイプのエアダスタ1では、放出弁7に対し、空気通路5と空気通路14が交差して配置が複雑になり、大型、高価になる恐れがある。
【0010】
例えば30Kg/cmという高圧の圧縮空気を使用する場合、放出弁7のφC全面にかかる圧縮空気による押圧力及びスプリング16の付勢力に抗して操作子9を押さなければならず、大きな押し力が必要になって、操作性が悪く疲労しやすいという問題があった。この押し力を軽くするために、φCを小さくすると、Oリング15内側の放出弁7の軸径が非常に小さくなり、放出弁7の強度が弱くなる恐れがある。また使用圧力の範囲内であっても、圧力の上限と下限では押し力が変わってしまい、操作しにくいという問題がある。
【0011】
エアダスタ付き釘打機においても同様に、放出弁7、空気通路5、空気通路14の配置を単純にしたいという要求があった。また前記高圧圧縮空気を使用する場合、操作子9の押し力を軽く一定にしたいという要求があった。ノズル10から圧縮空気が高い圧力のまま放出されると、粉塵、木屑等を周囲に巻き上げすぎてしまったり、反力で釘打機本体が動いたり、振り回されたりして操作しにくくなったり、ノズル10から発生する噴射音が大きくなってしまうという問題があった。また、ノズル10や放出弁7の圧縮空気の通過面積を小さくして放出される圧力を低くしようとすると、ノズル10から高い周波数の噴射音が発生してしまうことがあった。
【0012】
本発明の目的は、操作子を押すタイプのエアダスタで、放出弁、空気通路等を効率的に配置し、小型、安価なエアダスタを提供することである。
【0013】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的は、請求項1においては、放出弁とプラグを連通させる第2空気通路を放出弁の操作子側に配設し、ノズルと放出弁を連通させる第1空気通路を第2空気通路に対して操作子の反対側に配設することにより達成される。
【0014】
請求項2においては、放出弁の操作子に対して軸方向反対側端面を大気に開放することにより達成される。
【0015】
請求項3、請求項4においては、エアダスタ付き釘打機に請求項1、請求項2記載のエアダスタを配設することにより達成される。
【0016】
請求項5においては、放出弁の操作子側に大気と第2空気通路をシールする第2シールと、放出弁の操作子に対して軸方向反対側に第1空気通路と第2空気通路間を開閉する第1シールを備え、第1シールと第2シールの受圧面積をほぼ同等にすることにより達成される。
【0017】
請求項6においては、プラグと放出弁の間に、絞り等の流量制御機構及びその後に膨張室を設けることにより達成される。
【0018】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1〜図3に本発明エアダスタ1の一実施形態、図4、5に本発明エアダスタ付き釘打機の一実施形態、図6にエアダスタ付き釘打機の他の実施形態を示す。
【0019】
本発明エアダスタ1の全体構成を説明する。図示しない圧縮機から図示しないエアホースを介して供給される圧縮空気は、ボデー2のハンドル3端部のプラグ4から流入する。ハンドル3内には第2空気通路5、絞り6があり、放出弁7の放出弁室8と連通している。絞り6は、プラグ4からノズル10までの間で空気通過面積が最も小さく、空気通過抵抗により、元圧より圧力が下がるように設定されている。ボデー2を保持した手の親指が届く範囲に放出弁7の操作子9が設けられている。ボデー2先端には圧縮空気を放出するノズル10が設けられている。ノズル10の中央部には膨張室11が設けられ、ノズル10先端の開口部12は面積が絞られている。放出弁7には、放出弁室8、操作子9側の大気を常時遮断するOリング13、非操作時(上死点)に第2空気通路5と第1空気通路14を遮断し、操作時(下死点)に第2空気通路5と第1空気通路14を連通させるOリング15等を備えている。またスプリング16によって、圧縮空気源と連通していない非操作時に放出弁7が上死点になるように付勢されている。放出弁7が上死点で突き当たるようにボデー2には突き当て17が設けられている。また、ボデー2内にはボデー2とノズル10に挟持されるようにバルブブッシュ18が配設され、スプリング16の受け座を形成すると共にOリング15の弁機構を備えている。
【0020】
Oリング13、15のそれぞれの圧縮空気の受圧面積S1、S2は、圧縮空気源と連通している非操作時に、スプリング16の付勢力と共に放出弁7が、Oリング13、15の摺動抵抗に抗して上死点に戻す程度の押圧力が発生するように受圧面積S1が受圧面積S2より若干大きくなっている。
【0021】
次に上記構成のエアダスタ1での除塵動作を説明する。
図示しないエアホースをプラグ4に接続する。圧縮空気が第2空気通路5、絞り6を介して放出弁室8に流入する。除塵作業を行う箇所にノズル10を向け、エアダスタ1を保持した手で、スプリング16の付勢力と受圧面積S1と受圧面積S2との受圧面積差の押圧力に抗して放出弁7の操作子9を押す。
【0022】
Oリング13、15の受圧面積S1、S2は、スプリング16の付勢力と共に操作子9を上死点に戻すだけの差になっており、高圧の圧縮空気を使用しても押し力が軽くなっている。また、仕様範囲内で圧力を変えてもほぼ一定の押し力になっている。
【0023】
放出弁室8の圧縮空気が、Oリング15とバルブブッシュ18の空隙を通過して、第1空気通路14に流入する。そして膨張室11を通過して、ノズル10先端の開口部12から放出され、粉塵、木屑等を風圧で吹き飛ばす。
【0024】
放出初期は、放出弁室8の圧力は元圧と同じになっており、高圧の圧縮空気が直接ノズル10から放出されないように、膨張室11で減圧されてノズル10から放出される。
絞り6は、プラグ4からノズル10先端の開口部12の間で、圧縮空気の通過抵抗が最も大きくなるように設定されているので、放出弁室8の初期の圧縮空気が放出された後は絞り6で流量制限された低い圧力の圧縮空気がノズル10から放出される。
【0025】
次に本発明エアダスタ付き釘打機19の全体構成を説明する。
【0026】
圧縮空気は制御弁20、空気通路21を介して主弁上室22に入り、主弁23をシリンダ24上面に押し付ける。この状態では主弁23とシリンダ24の上面は密閉されており、圧縮空気はシリンダ24内に入らないのでピストン25は上死点を維持する。トリガレバー26はセフティアーム27の操作と協働し、引いたり戻したりすることにより制御弁20を開閉させ、主弁上室22を圧縮空気源と連通している蓄圧室28及び大気に選択的に連通させる。
【0027】
ピストン25にはドライバブレード29が一体で連結されている。シリンダ24の中間及び下部には各々中間穴30及び下部穴31が形成され、中間穴30の外周には逆止Oリング32が設けられ、シリンダ24とボデー33の間には、ピストン25下降時に中間穴30から供給される圧縮空気を貯える周知構成の戻し空気室34が設けられている。シリンダ24の下方にはピストン25が釘を打込んだ後の余剰エネルギーを吸収するためのピストンバンパ35が設けられている。
【0028】
ボデー33の下側にはドライバブレード29の案内穴を有するテールカバー36等で構成される射出部37と、図示しない釘を貯えるマガジン38が設けられている。
【0029】
ボデー33の上側にはボルト等によって締結され、主弁上室22及び蓄圧室28の一部を構成するエキゾーストカバー39が配設されている。エキゾーストカバー39には、釘打機19を片手で保持したまま、保持した手の親指もしくは人指し指の可動範囲内に放出弁7の操作子9を、打込み制御用の制御弁20とは独立して設け、またエキゾーストカバー39の凹部40には圧縮空気を放出するノズル10が設けられている。蓄圧室28と放出弁7は第2空気通路5を介して連通し、放出弁7とノズル10は第1空気通路14を介して連通している。放出弁7には、大気と第2空気通路5を常時遮断するOリング13と、非操作時(上死点)には第2空気通路5と第1空気通路14を遮断し、操作時(下死点)には第2空気通路5と第1空気通路14を連通させるOリング15を備えている。
【0030】
放出弁7は、バルブブッシュ18と軸方向に摺動し、前記エアダスタ1と同様に、Oリング13、15の受圧面積S1、S2は、圧縮空気と連通している非操作時にスプリング16の付勢力と共に、Oリング13、15の摺動抵抗に抗して操作子9を上死点に戻すだけの差になっており、高圧の圧縮空気を使用しても押し力が軽くなっている。また、仕様範囲内で圧力を変えてもほぼ一定の押し力になっている。
【0031】
第2空気通路5と放出弁室8との間には絞り6が設けられている。また、第1空気通路14とノズル10の間には膨張室11が設けられている。
【0032】
エアダスタ付き釘打機19の除塵動作は、前記のエアダスタ1と同様となる。
【0033】
次に上記構成のエアダスタ付き釘打機19による打込み動作を説明する。まず図示しない木材等の被打込材にセフティアーム27の先端を押し当てセフティアーム27を押し上げる。この状態でトリガレバー26を引くと主弁上室22内の圧縮空気が空気通路21、制御弁20を介して大気に放出され、主弁23が上昇して、圧縮空気がシリンダ24内のピストン25上側に流入してピストン25と一体のドライバブレード29が急激に下降する。ドライバブレード29は下死点まで下降しながらテールカバー36内の図示しない釘を被打込材に打込む。ピストン25下側の空気が下部穴31を介して戻し空気室34に流入すると共にピストン25が中間穴30を通過するとシリンダ24内のピストン25上側の圧縮空気の一部も戻し空気室34に流入する。ピストン25はピストンバンパ35に接触して、ピストンバンパ35を変形させ、釘打込み後の余剰エネルギーが吸収される。
【0034】
セフティアーム27先端を離すかまたはトリガレバー26を戻すと、蓄圧室28の圧縮空気が空気通路21を介して主弁上室22に流入し、主弁23を閉じる。同時に排気口41が開き、シリンダ24内のピストン25上側の圧縮空気が大気に放出され、戻し空気室34に貯えられた圧縮空気によってピストン25が上死点に戻る。以上の流れで1回の打込み行程が終了する。
【0035】
図6にエアダスタ付き釘打機19の他の実施形態を示す。放出弁7が操作子9側から組み立てられるように、Oリング15との弁機構がエキゾーストカバー39の一部で構成されている。バルブブッシュ18はOリング13と摺動し、突き当て17はバルブブッシュ18で構成している。Oリング13、15の受圧面積S1、S2は、図4、5のエアダスタ付き釘打機と同じ構成となっている。
【0036】
本実施形態では、絞り6は放出弁室8の直前に設けられ、膨張室11はノズル10内に設けたが、ハンドル3内、バルブブッシュ18、第1空気通路14等、プラグ4からノズル10間ならどこに設けてもよく、また絞り6、膨張室11を複数設けるようにしてもよい。また膨張室11の容積を極端に大きく構成したが、絞り6の後に絞り6より大きい空気通過面積の空間を設けるようにしてもよい。
【0037】
【発明の効果】
請求項1記載の発明によれば、放出弁とプラグを連通させる第2空気通路を放出弁の操作子側に配設し、ノズルと放出弁を連通させる第1空気通路を第2空気通路に対して操作子の反対側に配設したので、操作子を押すタイプのエアダスタで、放出弁、第1空気通路、第2空気通路を効率的に配置し、小型、安価なエアダスタを提供することができる。
【0038】
請求項2記載の発明によれば、放出弁の操作子に対して軸方向反対側端面を大気に開放したので、従来より高圧の圧縮空気を使用する場合でも、操作子の押し力を軽くかつほぼ一定にすることができる。
【0039】
請求項5記載の発明によれば、放出弁の操作子側に大気と第2空気通路をシールする第2シールと、放出弁の操作子に対して軸方向反対側に第1空気通路と第2空気通路間を開閉する第1シールを備え、第1シールと第2シールの受圧面積をほぼ同等にしたので、操作子の押し力を軽くかつほぼ一定にすることができる。
【0040】
請求項6記載の発明によれば、プラグと放出弁の間に、絞り等の流量制御機構及びその後に膨張室を設けたので、放出初期の圧縮空気の圧力より、エアダスタから放出される圧力を低くすることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an air duster that arbitrarily discharges compressed air to perform dust removal work and the like, and a nailer with an air duster.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the air duster 1 directs the nozzle 10 to a place where dust removal work is performed, and pulls the operating element 9 of the discharge valve 7 with the hand holding the air duster 1 (FIG. 7) or pushes the operating element 9. By the operation of (FIG. 8), the compressed air supplied from the compressed air supply source via the air hose is discharged from the opening 12 of the nozzle 10 to remove dust, wood chips and the like.
[0003]
FIG. 7 shows an air duster 1 of a type that pulls the operating element 9. The body 2 is provided with an operation element 9 so that it can be operated by pulling it with the index finger of the held hand. A nozzle 10 that discharges compressed air is provided at the tip of the body 2, and a plug 4 for connecting an air hose is provided at the end of the handle 3. The plug 4 and the discharge valve 7 communicate with each other through the air passage 5, and the discharge valve 7 and the nozzle 10 communicate with each other through the air passage 14. The release valve 7 is provided with an O-ring 13 that always shuts off the atmosphere and the air passage 14, and an O-ring 15 that shuts off and communicates with the air passage 5 and the air passage 14 when the operation element 9 is not operated and when it is operated. The valve 7 slides in the axial direction of the valve bush 18, and the diameter φC of the seal surface sealed by the O-ring 15 and the valve bush 18 is set larger than the diameter φD of the seal surface sealed by the O-ring 13 and the valve bush 18. Has been. The biasing force of the spring 16 and the load due to the compressed air from the plug 4 are applied to the end face of the discharge valve 7, that is, the entire surface of φC.
[0004]
FIG. 8 shows an air duster 1 of a type that pushes the operating element 9. An operating element 9 for the discharge valve 7 is provided in a range where the thumb of the hand holding the body 2 can reach. The air passage 5 passes from the plug 4 through the handle 3, wraps around from the nozzle 10 side, and communicates with the discharge valve chamber 8. The air passage 14 extends from between the O-ring 13 and the O-ring 15 and communicates with the nozzle 10. When the operation element 9 is not operated, a load by the compressed air from the plug 4 is applied to the end face of the discharge valve 7, that is, the entire surface of φC together with the urging force of the spring 16.
[0005]
The nailer 19 with the air duster will be described with reference to FIGS. 4, 9, and 10. For example, Patent Literature 1 proposes a nailing machine 19 with an air duster that can perform nailing and dust removal. When the nozzle 10 is directed to the place where the dust removal operation is to be performed and the operator 9 of the discharge valve 7 is pushed with the hand holding the nailing machine body, the compressed air stored in the pressure accumulating chamber 28 is discharged from the opening 12 of the nozzle 10. Remove dust and wood chips.
[0006]
An exhaust cover 39 constituting a part of the main valve upper chamber 22 and the pressure accumulating chamber 28 is fastened to the upper side of the body 33 by bolts or the like. The exhaust cover 39 is provided with an operation element 9 of the discharge valve 7 in the movable range of the thumb or forefinger of the hand holding the body 33 independently from the control valve 20 for driving control. The upper recess 40 is provided with a nozzle 10 that discharges compressed air.
The pressure accumulating chamber 28 and the discharge valve 7 communicate with each other through the air passage 5, and the discharge valve 7 and the nozzle 10 communicate with each other through the air passage 14.

Is set. The biasing force of the spring 16 and the load due to the compressed air from the pressure accumulating chamber 28 are applied to the end face of the discharge valve 7, that is, the entire surface of φC.
[0008]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-10-109280 (FIGS. 1 to 3)
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the air duster 1 that pulls the operating element 9 shown in FIG. 7, the arrangement of the discharge valve 7, the air passage 5 and the air passage 14 is not complicated in structure, but the air duster 1 that pushes the operating element 9 shown in FIG. Then, the air passage 5 and the air passage 14 intersect with the discharge valve 7 and the arrangement becomes complicated, which may increase the size and cost.
[0010]
For example, when high-pressure compressed air of 30 kg / cm 2 is used, the operating element 9 must be pressed against the pressing force of the compressed air applied to the entire φC of the discharge valve 7 and the urging force of the spring 16. There was a problem that operability was poor and it was easy to get tired. If φC is reduced in order to reduce this pushing force, the shaft diameter of the discharge valve 7 inside the O-ring 15 becomes very small, and the strength of the discharge valve 7 may be weakened. Even within the operating pressure range, there is a problem that the pressing force changes at the upper and lower pressure limits, making it difficult to operate.
[0011]
Similarly, in the nailer with an air duster, there is a demand for simplifying the arrangement of the discharge valve 7, the air passage 5, and the air passage 14. Further, when the high-pressure compressed air is used, there is a demand for making the pressing force of the operation element 9 light and constant. If compressed air is released from the nozzle 10 at a high pressure, dust, wood chips, etc. may be wound around the surroundings, or the nailing machine body may be moved or swung by the reaction force, making it difficult to operate. There was a problem that the injection sound generated from the nozzle 10 was increased. Further, when the pressure of the compressed air passing through the nozzle 10 or the discharge valve 7 is reduced to reduce the discharge pressure, a high frequency injection sound may be generated from the nozzle 10.
[0012]
An object of the present invention is to provide a compact and inexpensive air duster that efficiently disposes a discharge valve, an air passage, and the like, in a type of air duster that pushes a manipulator.
[0013]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the second air passage for communicating the discharge valve and the plug is disposed on the operation side of the discharge valve, and the first air passage for communicating the nozzle and the discharge valve is the second air passage. On the other hand, it is achieved by disposing on the opposite side of the operation element.
[0014]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, this is achieved by opening the end face on the opposite side in the axial direction to the atmosphere with respect to the operation element of the release valve.
[0015]
The third and fourth aspects of the present invention can be achieved by disposing the air duster according to the first and second aspects of the present invention on a nailer with an air duster.

[0019]
The overall configuration of the air duster 1 of the present invention will be described. Compressed air supplied from a compressor (not shown) through an air hose (not shown) flows from the plug 4 at the end of the handle 3 of the body 2. A second air passage 5 and a throttle 6 are provided in the handle 3 and communicate with the discharge valve chamber 8 of the discharge valve 7. The throttle 6 is set so that the air passage area is the smallest between the plug 4 and the nozzle 10 and the pressure is lower than the original pressure due to the air passage resistance. An operating element 9 for the discharge valve 7 is provided in a range where the thumb of the hand holding the body 2 can reach. A nozzle 10 for discharging compressed air is provided at the tip of the body 2. An expansion chamber 11 is provided at the center of the nozzle 10, and the opening 12 at the tip of the nozzle 10 has a reduced area. The release valve 7 includes an O-ring 13 that always shuts off the atmosphere on the release valve chamber 8 and the operating element 9 side, and shuts off the second air passage 5 and the first air passage 14 when not operated (top dead center). O-ring 15 etc. which make the 2nd air passage 5 and the 1st air passage 14 connect at time (bottom dead center) are provided. Further, the release valve 7 is urged by the spring 16 so that the discharge valve 7 is at the top dead center when not in operation and not in communication with the compressed air source. The body 2 is provided with an abutment 17 so that the discharge valve 7 abuts at the top dead center. Further, a valve bush 18 is disposed in the body 2 so as to be sandwiched between the body 2 and the nozzle 10, and a seat for the spring 16 is formed and a valve mechanism for the O-ring 15 is provided.
[0020]
The pressure receiving areas S1 and S2 of the compressed air of the O-rings 13 and 15 are determined so that the release valve 7 and the urging force of the spring 16 together with the urging force of the O-rings 13 and 15 are in contact with the compressed air source. The pressure receiving area S1 is slightly larger than the pressure receiving area S2 so that a pressing force is generated to return to the top dead center against the above.
[0021]
Next, the dust removal operation in the air duster 1 having the above configuration will be described.
An air hose (not shown) is connected to the plug 4. The compressed air flows into the discharge valve chamber 8 through the second air passage 5 and the throttle 6. The operator of the discharge valve 7 is directed against the biasing force of the spring 16 and the pressure receiving area difference between the pressure receiving area S1 and the pressure receiving area S2 with the hand holding the air duster 1 while the nozzle 10 is directed to the place where dust removal is performed. Press 9.
[0022]
The pressure receiving areas S1 and S2 of the O-rings 13 and 15 are such that the operating element 9 is returned to the top dead center together with the urging force of the spring 16, and the pressing force is reduced even when high-pressure compressed air is used. ing. Moreover, even if the pressure is changed within the specification range, the pressing force is almost constant.
[0023]
The compressed air in the discharge valve chamber 8 passes through the gap between the O-ring 15 and the valve bush 18 and flows into the first air passage 14. Then, it passes through the expansion chamber 11 and is discharged from the opening 12 at the tip of the nozzle 10 to blow off dust, wood chips and the like by wind pressure.
[0024]
At the initial stage of discharge, the pressure in the discharge valve chamber 8 is the same as the original pressure, and the pressure is reduced in the expansion chamber 11 and discharged from the nozzle 10 so that the high-pressure compressed air is not directly discharged from the nozzle 10.
Since the throttle 6 is set so that the passage resistance of the compressed air is maximized between the plug 4 and the opening 12 at the tip of the nozzle 10, after the initial compressed air in the discharge valve chamber 8 is discharged. Low pressure compressed air whose flow rate is restricted by the throttle 6 is discharged from the nozzle 10.
[0025]
Next, the overall configuration of the nailer 19 with the air duster of the present invention will be described.
[0026]
The compressed air enters the main valve upper chamber 22 through the control valve 20 and the air passage 21, and presses the main valve 23 against the upper surface of the cylinder 24. In this state, the upper surfaces of the main valve 23 and the cylinder 24 are sealed, and the compressed air does not enter the cylinder 24, so the piston 25 maintains the top dead center. The trigger lever 26 cooperates with the operation of the safety arm 27, opens and closes the control valve 20 by pulling and returning, and the main valve upper chamber 22 is selectively connected to the pressure accumulating chamber 28 and the atmosphere communicating with the compressed air source. Communicate with.

An intermediate hole 30 and a lower hole 31 are formed in the middle and lower part of the cylinder 24, respectively, and a check O-ring 32 is provided on the outer periphery of the intermediate hole 30. When the piston 25 is lowered between the cylinder 24 and the body 33, A well-known return air chamber 34 for storing compressed air supplied from the intermediate hole 30 is provided. Below the cylinder 24 is provided a piston bumper 35 for absorbing surplus energy after the piston 25 has driven a nail.
[0028]
On the lower side of the body 33, there are provided an injection portion 37 composed of a tail cover 36 having a guide hole for the driver blade 29 and a magazine 38 for storing a nail (not shown).
[0029]
An exhaust cover 39 that is fastened by bolts or the like and forms part of the main valve upper chamber 22 and the pressure accumulating chamber 28 is disposed on the upper side of the body 33. In the exhaust cover 39, the operation element 9 of the release valve 7 is placed in the movable range of the thumb or index finger of the held hand while holding the nailing machine 19 with one hand, independently of the control valve 20 for driving control. In addition, the recess 10 of the exhaust cover 39 is provided with a nozzle 10 that discharges compressed air. The pressure accumulating chamber 28 and the discharge valve 7 communicate with each other through the second air passage 5, and the discharge valve 7 and the nozzle 10 communicate with each other through the first air passage 14. The release valve 7 has an O-ring 13 that always shuts off the atmosphere and the second air passage 5, and shuts off the second air passage 5 and the first air passage 14 when not operated (top dead center) and operates ( At the bottom dead center), an O-ring 15 that connects the second air passage 5 and the first air passage 14 is provided.

First, the tip of the safety arm 27 is pressed against a material to be driven such as wood, not shown, and the safety arm 27 is pushed up. When the trigger lever 26 is pulled in this state, the compressed air in the main valve upper chamber 22 is released to the atmosphere through the air passage 21 and the control valve 20, the main valve 23 is raised, and the compressed air is moved to the piston in the cylinder 24. 25, the driver blade 29 integral with the piston 25 descends rapidly. The driver blade 29 drives a nail (not shown) in the tail cover 36 into the driven material while descending to the bottom dead center. Air below the piston 25 flows into the return air chamber 34 through the lower hole 31 and when the piston 25 passes the intermediate hole 30, part of the compressed air above the piston 25 in the cylinder 24 also flows into the return air chamber 34. To do. The piston 25 comes into contact with the piston bumper 35 to deform the piston bumper 35, and the surplus energy after nail driving is absorbed.
[0034]
When the tip of the safety arm 27 is released or the trigger lever 26 is returned, the compressed air in the pressure accumulating chamber 28 flows into the main valve upper chamber 22 through the air passage 21 and closes the main valve 23. At the same time, the exhaust port 41 opens, the compressed air above the piston 25 in the cylinder 24 is released to the atmosphere, and the piston 25 returns to the top dead center by the compressed air stored in the return air chamber 34. With the above flow, one driving process is completed.
[0035]
