The relief valve 44 opens the passage 45 when the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 is higher than a predetermined value Pmax.

The predetermined value Pmax is a pressure necessary for driving the maximum length nail 24 used in the driving machine 10. Therefore, the set pressure of the relief valve 44 is set to a value that is equal to or slightly larger than the predetermined value Pmax.

A passage 46 is provided in the partition wall 41, and the passage 46 connects the compression chamber 42 and the pressure adjustment chamber 43.

A stopper 50 is attached to the partition wall 41. The stopper 50 is fixed to the partition wall 41 by a fixing element 48. The stopper 50 restricts elastic deformation of the check valve 47.

Further, in the driving machine main body 11, a pressing detection sensor that detects that the push rod 38 is pressed against the object, a trigger switch that detects that the trigger 49 is operated, and a rotation angle of the plate 28 are detected. And an angle detection sensor. Further, a controller for rotating and stopping the electric motor 19 by processing signals from the pressing detection sensor, the trigger switch, and the angle detection sensor is provided in the driving machine main body 11.

Next, a usage example of the driving machine 10 will be described. If the trigger 49 is not operated and the trigger switch is turned off, the electric motor 19 is stopped. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the piston 31 receives the pressure of the compression chamber 42 and comes into contact with the damper 34 and stops. That is, the piston 31 is stopped at the bottom dead center.

When the controller detects that the push rod 38 is pressed against the object and that the trigger switch is turned on, the controller rotates the electric motor 19 in one direction by a predetermined angle and removes the pin 29 from the rack 37. Then, the electric motor 19 is stopped. The rotational force of the electric motor 19 is transmitted to the rotary shaft 27 via the speed reducer 22. The plate 28 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. When the plate 28 rotates, the pin 29 engages with the rack 37, and the rotational force of the plate 28 is converted into the operating force of the blade 21. Therefore, the piston 31 moves from the bottom dead center toward the top dead center, and the pressure in the compression chamber 42 increases.

When the piston 31 reaches the top dead center as shown in FIG. 3 and all the pins 29 are separated from the rack 37, the controller stops the electric motor 19. The controller stores in advance the rotation angle from when the electric motor 19 starts rotating until it stops. When the pin 29 is disengaged from the rack 37, the force that raises the piston 31 is released, a striking force corresponding to the pressure in the compression chamber 42 is generated, and the striking force is applied to the blade 21. The blade 21 drives the nail 24 into the object, and the piston 31 stops at the position pressed against the damper 34 by the pressure of the compression chamber 42 as shown in FIG.

After driving the nail 24 into the object, the operator moves the push rod 38 away from the object with the trigger switch turned on. When the operator pushes the push rod 38 against the object again, the electric motor 19 rotates in a predetermined direction in one direction and the pin 29 is removed from the rack 37, and then the electric motor 19 stops. For this reason, the driving machine 10 performs the same operation as described above, the nail 24 is driven into the object, and the electric motor 19 stops. Thereafter, the operator repeats the above operation and sequentially drives the nail 24 into the object.

The operation of the relief valve 44 and the operation of the check valve 47 are shown in FIGS. First, the case where the temperature of the workplace where the driving machine 10 is used is low will be described. When the piston 31 is at the bottom dead center as shown in FIG. 4A, the pressure in the compression chamber 42 and the pressure in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 are the same pressure P0. When the piston 31 moves from the bottom dead center toward the top dead center, the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 increases. When the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 is equal to or lower than a predetermined value Pmax from when the piston 31 starts to move until the top dead center is reached as shown in FIG. Regardless of the position, the passage 45 is always closed.

The pressure P in the compression chamber 42 when the piston 31 reaches the top dead center is an initial pressure necessary for driving the nail 24 into the object even at a low temperature. The pressure P in the compression chamber 42 can be set based on conditions such as the maximum volume of the compression chamber 42, the pressure receiving area of the piston 31, and the stroke of the piston 31.

Furthermore, the case where the temperature of the workplace where the driving machine 10 is used becomes high will be described. If the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 is higher than a predetermined value Pmax between the start of the piston 31 and the arrival at the top dead center, the relief valve 44 opens the passage 45. Then, as shown in FIG. 5A, the air in the compression chamber 42 flows into the pressure adjustment chamber 43, and the pressure in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 increases. That is, the pressure P2 in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 is expressed by the following equation.

P2 = P0 + ΔP Here, P0 is the pressure in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 before the pressure increases, and ΔP is the pressure increased in the pressure adjustment chamber 43.

The relief valve 44 closes the passage 45 when the pressure in the compression chamber 42 becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined value Pmax. That is, the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 is equal to the predetermined value Pmax. The check valve 47 closes the passage 46 when the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 is equal to or higher than the pressure P2 in the pressure adjustment chamber 43.

After the relief valve 44 closes the passage 45, when the piston 31 moves toward the bottom dead center and the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 becomes less than the pressure P2 in the pressure adjustment chamber 43, the check valve 47 is shown in FIG. Open the passage 46 as shown in FIG. Then, the air in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 flows into the compression chamber 42 and the pressure in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 decreases. The check valve 47 closes the passage 46 when the pressure in the compression chamber 42 and the pressure in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 become the same.

Thus, the relief valve 44 opens the passage 45 when the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 is higher than the predetermined value Pmax. That is, the relief valve 44 suppresses the pressure increase in the compression chamber 42. The predetermined value Pmax is a value obtained based on the relationship between the pressure in the compression chamber 42 and the striking force applied to the blade 21. The pressure in the compression chamber 42 varies depending on the temperature in addition to the operating position of the piston 31. When the temperature is relatively high, the pressure in the compression chamber 42 is also relatively high, and the striking force applied to the blade 21 is also relatively high. The predetermined value Pmax is a value set by performing an experiment or simulation so that an excessive striking force is not applied to the blade 21.

For this reason, even if temperature changes, the pressure fluctuation of the compression chamber 42 when the piston 31 reaches the top dead center can be suppressed. That is, the striking force applied to the blade 21 is substantially the same regardless of the temperature. In other words, the striking force can be secured at a low temperature, and an excessive striking force can be prevented from being applied to the blade 21 at a high temperature. Therefore, stabilization of the striking force applied to the blade 21 and improvement of the durability of the blade 21 can both be achieved.

Further, when the driving machine 10 is stored in a state where the piston 31 is stopped at the bottom dead center as shown in FIG. 2 and the temperature is changed from a high temperature state to a low temperature state, the compression chamber is connected via the check valve 47. The pressure of 42 and the pressure of the pressure adjusting chamber 43 can be made the same. For this reason, even if it is stored after using the driving machine 10 when the outside air temperature is high, and the driving machine 10 is used when the outside air temperature is low, the piston 31 is at the top dead center as shown in FIG. When reaching, the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 can be set to a predetermined value Pmax. An example when the outside temperature is high is summer, and an example when the outside temperature is low is winter.

Another example of a check valve is shown in FIG. The check valve 53 is provided on the wall member 39 or the wall member 40. A passage 54 is provided in the wall member 40 and a storage chamber 55 is provided. The passage 54 is connected to the pressure adjustment chamber 43, and the accommodation chamber 55 connects the passage 54 and the compression chamber 42. The check valve 53 includes a valve seat 56, a valve body 57 that opens and closes the passage 54, and a spring 58 that presses the valve body 57 against the valve seat 56. The valve body 57 and the spring 58 are accommodated in the accommodation chamber 55.

Further, an operation member 59 is provided. The operation member 59 is operated by an operator. The operation member 59 includes a shaft portion 60 and a knob 61 fixed to the shaft portion 60, and the knob 61 is disposed outside the housing 14. The shaft portion 60 is movable in the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion 60 with respect to the housing 14 and the wall member 40. The tip of the shaft portion 60 is disposed in the passage 54 and contacts the valve body 57.

When no operating force is applied to the operating member 59, the valve body 57 is pressed against the valve seat 56 by the force of the spring 58 to close the passage 54. When an operating force is applied to the operating member 59, the valve element 57 is separated from the valve seat 56 against the force of the spring 58, and the passage 54 is opened.

In the driving machine provided with the check valve 53 of FIG. 6, the relief valve 44 opens the passage 45 when the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 is higher than a predetermined value Pmax. For this reason, the pressure in the pressure adjusting chamber 43 increases and the pressure in the compression chamber 42 decreases. The relief valve 44 closes the passage 45 when the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 decreases to a predetermined value Pmax.

Thereafter, when the piston 31 moves toward the bottom dead center, the check valve 53 closes the passage 54 even when the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 becomes lower than the pressure P2 in the pressure adjustment chamber 43. When the operator applies an operating force to the operating member 59, the valve element 57 is separated from the valve seat 56 against the force of the spring 58 and the passage 54 is opened, and the pressure in the compression chamber 42 and the pressure in the pressure adjusting chamber 43. And become the same. When the operator releases the operating force applied to the operating member 59, the valve body 57 is pressed against the valve seat 56 by the force of the spring 58 and closes the passage 54. When the check valve 53 of FIG. 6 is used, the air in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 does not return to the compression chamber 42 unless the operator operates the operation member 59.

Therefore, the relief valve 44 and the check valve 53 do not operate for each impact, and the durability of the relief valve 44 and the durability of the check valve 53 can be improved. Further, when the driving machine 10 is stored with the piston 31 stopped at the bottom dead center as shown in FIG. 2 and the air temperature is changed from the high temperature state to the low temperature state, the pressure P of the compression chamber 42 is changed to the pressure adjusting chamber. Even when the pressure P2 is less than 43, the check valve 53 closes the passage 54. For this reason, when the operation member 59 is operated as described above, the pressure in the compression chamber 42 and the pressure in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 can be made the same. Therefore, even if it is stored after using the driving machine 10 when the outside air temperature is high and the driving machine 10 is used when the outside air temperature is low, the pressure P of the compression chamber 42 is kept at a certain predetermined value. Pmax can be set.

The holder 67 is disposed from the compression chamber 42 to the outside of the wall member 39, and a seal member 72 that seals between the inner peripheral surface of the holder 67 and the shaft portion 68 is provided. The seal member 72 prevents the compressed air in the compression chamber 42 from leaking from the shaft hole 71. The spring 66 is a metal compression spring, and the spring 66 is disposed between the seal member 72 and the movable member 70 in the direction of the axis C1.

By switching the rotation direction of the spur gear 79, the direction in which the movable member 70 moves in the direction of the axis C1 can be switched between the direction in which the movable member 70 is closer to the holder 67 and the direction in which the movable member 70 is away from the holder 67. is there.

A lever 80 is attached to the housing 14. The lever 80 is rotatable with the support shaft 81 as a fulcrum, and the first end portion 82 of the lever 80 contacts the tip of the shaft portion 68. An opening 83 is provided in the housing 14, and the second end 84 of the lever 80 is exposed from the opening 83 to the outside of the housing 14.

The driving machine 10 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 does not include the passage 46 and the check valve 47. 7 and 8 performs the same operation and control with respect to the same components as the driving machine 10 shown in FIGS.

The driving machine 10 shown in FIG. 8 adjusts the pressure in the compression chamber 42 by the function of the relief valve 63. The relief valve 63 closes the passage 64 when the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 is equal to or lower than the set pressure P1. The relief valve 63 opens the passage 64 when the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 is higher than the set pressure P1. The set pressure P1 is a value determined from the urging force transmitted from the spring 66 to the valve body 65. More specifically, the valve element 65 of the relief valve 63 is urged in the direction of the axis C <b> 1 by the force of the spring 66. Further, the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 is applied to the disc portion 69 of the valve body 65 from the passage 64. The direction of the urging force applied from the spring 66 to the valve body 65 is opposite to the direction of the urging force applied to the valve body 65 by the pressure of the compression chamber 42.

When the pressure in the compression chamber 42 is equal to or lower than the set pressure P1, the disk portion 69 is maintained in close contact with the partition wall 41 by the force of the spring 66, and the passage 64 is closed. That is, the spring 66 has a role as a valve closing mechanism. When the temperature of the environment in which the driving machine 10 is used rises and the pressure P of the compression chamber 42 exceeds the set pressure P1, the valve body 65 approaches the pressure adjustment chamber 43 against the biasing force of the spring 66. The direction 64 moves in the direction of the axis C1, and the passage 64 opens. For this reason, the air in the compression chamber 42 flows into the pressure adjustment chamber 43 and the pressure in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 rises. Therefore, an increase in pressure in the compression chamber 42 can be suppressed. When the pressure P in the compression chamber 42 becomes equal to or lower than the set pressure P1, the valve body 65 is moved by the biasing force of the spring 66, and the passage 64 is closed.

As described above, the driving machine 10 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 increases the pressure in the compression chamber 42 when the piston 31 reaches the top dead center, similarly to the driving machine 10 shown in FIGS. Can be suppressed. Therefore, the same effect as the driving machine 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 can be obtained.

In the driving machine 10 shown in FIG. 8, the operator can adjust the pressure at which the relief valve 63 opens the passage 64, that is, the set pressure P1. When the operator operates the dial 77 to rotate the shaft portion 78, the rotational force of the shaft portion 78 is transmitted to the movable member 70. That is, by switching the rotation direction of the shaft portion 78, the movable member 70 moves either in the direction approaching the holder 67 in the direction of the axis C1 or in the direction away from the holder. The urging force transmitted from the spring 66 to the valve body 65 via the movable member 70 is determined according to the distance between the movable member 70 and the holder 67 in the direction of the axis C1.

In FIG. 8, the solid first state where the distance between the holder 67 and the movable member 70 is short is compared with the second state indicated by a broken line where the distance between the holder 67 and the movable member 70 is long. The urging force transmitted from the spring 66 to the valve body 65 is larger in the first state than in the second state. The set pressure P1 increases as the urging force transmitted from the spring 66 to the valve body 65 increases.

As described above, in the driving machine shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the operator can arbitrarily adjust the set pressure P1 at which the relief valve 63 opens by operating the dial 77. For this reason, it is possible to adjust the setting pressure P1 according to the temperature which uses the driving machine 10. FIG.

Note that after the passage 64 is opened and the air in the compression chamber 42 flows into the pressure adjusting chamber 43 and the passage 64 is closed, the operator can finish the driving operation. When the driving operation is not performed, the piston 31 is in a position other than the top dead center. That is, the air pressure in the compression chamber 42 is lower than the air pressure in the pressure adjustment chamber 43. Here, the operator can operate the lever 80 counterclockwise in FIG. 8 to move the valve body 65 against the urging force of the spring 66, thereby forcibly opening the passage 64. Then, the air in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 returns to the compression chamber 42 via the passage 64. Thereafter, when the operator releases his / her hand from the lever 80, the lever 80 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 8 by the force of the spring 66, and the valve body 65 stops when the disc portion 69 contacts the partition wall 41. The passage 64 is closed.

Also, the operator can adjust the set pressure P1 by operating the dial 77 based on conditions other than temperature. For example, if the set pressure P <b> 1 is adjusted according to the length of the nail 24, the striking force applied to the nail 24 can be adjusted for each length of the nail 24. Specifically, the set pressure P1 can be set higher as the nail 24 becomes longer. In this case, the higher the set pressure P1, the stronger the striking force applied to the nail 24. Further, the set pressure P1 may be adjusted according to the hardness of the object into which the nail 24 is driven, and the striking force applied to the nail 24 may be adjusted for each hardness of the object. The worker sets the set pressure P1 higher as the hardness of the object is higher.

Another example of the adjusting mechanism for setting the set pressure P1 of the relief valve 63 will be described with reference to FIGS. Instead of the adjustment mechanism 76 of FIG. 7, an adjustment mechanism 86 shown in FIG. 9 can be provided. The adjustment mechanism 86 includes an adjustment motor 87 and a spur gear 89 provided on the output shaft 88 of the adjustment motor 87. The adjustment motor 87 is an electric motor, more specifically a stepping motor. When a voltage is applied from the battery 12, the adjustment motor 87 rotates the output shaft 88 by a predetermined angle and stops. Further, the controller 90 switches the rotation direction of the output shaft 88. Therefore, the direction in which the movable member 70 moves in the direction of the axis C1 can be switched between the direction in which the movable member 70 moves away from the holder 67 and the direction in which the movable member 70 approaches the holder 67 by switching the rotation direction of the spur gear 89. It is.

The driving machine 10 has an operation panel 92 shown in FIG. The operation panel 92 is provided in the driving machine main body 11. For example, the operation panel 92 is provided to be exposed on either the surface of the mounting portion 18, the surface of the motor case 16, or the surface of the connection portion 85. The operation panel 92 includes a switching button 93 and a display unit 94. The operator operates the switch button 93 to switch the set pressure P1 to a plurality of stages, for example, three stages of a first set pressure, a second set pressure, and a third set pressure according to the three types of length of the nail 24. be able to. The second set pressure is higher than the first set pressure, and the third set pressure is higher than the second set pressure. The display unit 94 is three lamps provided corresponding to the first set pressure, the second set pressure, and the third set pressure. The display unit 94 corresponding to the selected set pressure is turned on, and other displays The part turns off.

The driving machine 10 includes a controller 90 shown in FIG. The controller 90 is provided in the motor case 16. The controller 90 controls the electric motor 19 and the adjustment motor 87. An operation signal from the operation panel 92 is input to the controller 90. A current value detection sensor 91 is provided in the motor case 16, and the current value detection sensor 91 detects a current value supplied from the battery 12 to the electric motor 19. A signal output from the current value detection sensor 91 is input to the controller 90. An operation signal for the trigger 49 is input to the controller 90.

The driving machine 10 illustrated in FIG. 9 does not include the lever 80, the support shaft 81, and the opening 83 illustrated in FIG. On the other hand, the driving machine 10 shown in FIG. The stopper 95 is fixed in the housing 14. The stopper 95 is disposed outside the shaft portion 68 in the radial direction of the shaft portion 68. In a plan view perpendicular to the axis C1, the arrangement area of the stopper 95 and the arrangement area of the movable member 70 overlap. The movable member 70 is disposed between the stopper 95 and the holder 67 in the direction of the axis C1. When the spur gear 89 rotates, the movable member 70 moves in the direction of the axis C1 between the stopper 95 and the holder 67. .

The driving machine 10 shown in FIG. 9 can set three types of set pressures P <b> 1 according to the length of the nail 24 by operating the operation panel 92 shown in FIG. 10. Then, the controller 90 controls the rotation direction and rotation angle of the adjustment motor 87 in accordance with the set pressure P1, and changes the distance between the movable member 70 and the holder 67. That is, the adjustment mechanism 86 in FIG. 9 can change the set pressure P1 at which the relief valve 63 opens the passage 64, similarly to the adjustment mechanism 76 in FIG. When the controller 90 controls the rotation direction and rotation angle of the adjustment motor 87 according to the set pressure P1, the movable member 70 stops at a position where it does not contact the stopper 95.

The driving machine 10 shown in FIG. 9 can control the adjustment motor 87 to return the air in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 to the compression chamber 42 via the passage 64 when the driving operation is not performed. . In this case, the operation panel 92 is provided with an operation unit for executing “control for returning the air in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 to the compression chamber 42 via the passage 64”. When this operation unit is operated, the controller 90 rotates the adjustment motor 87 and presses the movable member 70 against the stopper 95, and then rotates by a predetermined angle in the same rotation direction and stops. Then, the valve body 65 moves against the biasing force of the spring 66 from the time when the movable member 70 contacts the stopper 95 until the movable member 70 stops, and the passage 64 is forcibly opened. That is, the air in the pressure adjustment chamber 43 returns to the compression chamber 42 via the passage 64.

Thereafter, the controller 90 switches the rotation direction of the adjustment motor 87 to release the movable member 70 from the stopper 95 and then stops the adjustment motor 87. As a result, the valve body 65 is pushed by the urging force of the spring 66, and when the disc portion 69 comes into contact with the partition wall 41, the valve body 65 stops and the passage 64 is closed. The other configurations and operational effects of the driving machine 10 illustrated in FIG. 9 are the same as the configurations and operational effects of the driving machine 10 illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8.

Further, another example in which the controller 90 controls the adjustment mechanism 86 will be described with reference to FIG. The controller 90 indirectly obtains the load of the electric motor 19 when the piston 31 is moved toward the top dead center from the signal of the current value detection sensor 91. The load of the electric motor 19 is an output of the electric motor 19 when the actual pressure in the compression chamber 42 when the piston 31 reaches top dead center is set to the set pressure P1. The longer the nail 24 is, the higher the striking force and set pressure P1 required for striking the nail 24 are. That is, the load of the electric motor 19 increases as the length of the nail 24 increases.

Therefore, the set pressure P1 can be adjusted by controlling the adjustment motor 87 so that a striking force corresponding to the length of the nail 24 is generated. For example, the set pressure P1 can be set so that the pressure of the compression chamber 42 becomes as high as possible when the piston 31 reaches the top dead center as the length of the nail 24 increases.

In the second embodiment, the control for adjusting the set pressure P1 by rotating and stopping the output shaft 88 of the adjusting motor 87 includes the control for adjusting the set pressure P1 stepwise, and the stepwise setting of the set pressure P1. Adjusting control.

Further, at least a part of the valve body 65 is manufactured from a magnetic material. The controller controls the voltage applied to the solenoid. The solenoid has a coil that is energized from the battery 12, and the solenoid generates a magnetic attractive force in accordance with the applied voltage. The valve body is urged by a magnetic attractive force to close the passage.

Then, when the air pressure in the pressure adjusting chamber 43 exceeds the set pressure P1, the valve body 65 moves against the magnetic attractive force, and the passage 64 is opened. Therefore, the controller can change the set pressure P1 by controlling the voltage applied to the solenoid to adjust the magnetic attractive force. In this case, the solenoid serves as both a valve closing mechanism that generates a force for closing the passage by the valve body and the adjusting mechanism of the present invention.
