Description of the invention (ί> < Field of invention > (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) The present invention relates to security systems, and More specifically, it relates to the high-speed safety stop mechanism used in power equipment. ≪ Background of the Invention > Beginning with the industrial revolution and continuing to this day, compared with _ manual tools, mechanized equipment has allowed workers to Higher speeds and less labor to produce products. Unfortunately, the power and high operating speed of mechanized equipment poses danger to those who operate such machines. Thousands of people are affected every year by accidents involving power equipment Disability or loss of life. Line-As expected, many systems have been developed to minimize the risk of injury when using power equipment. Perhaps the most common safety function is a protective device, the protective device Prevents operators from physically touching dangerous parts of the machine, such as belts, shafts, or blades. In many cases, protective devices can effectively reduce injuries However, there are many examples in which the work to be performed essentially eliminates the use of protective devices that can completely block the access to dangerous machine components. The Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Employee Consumption Cooperatives has printed various systems It is proposed that it can be used to prevent accidental injuries in situations where the protective device cannot be effectively used. For example, U.S. Patent Nos. 9 4 1, 726 '2,978,084' 3,011,610 '3,047, 1 16, 4,195,722, and 4,321,841, etc., these patents- Their disclosures have been incorporated here for reference-all reveal safety systems for use with power presses. These systems utilize cables connected to the operator's wrist that connect the user while the machine is operating The hand is pulled back from the work area, or the operation of the machine is blocked until the user's 4 paper standards are applicable to the national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 88 β 2 Α7 Β7 V. Description of the invention ( >) until your hand leaves the danger zone. US Patent Nos .: 3,9 5 3,7 7 0, 4,075,9 6 1 '4,470,046' 4,532,501 (Please read the back first Please fill in this page again for your attention), and 5, 2 1 2, 6 2 1-the disclosures have been incorporated here for reference-revealing radio frequency safety systems, these safety systems use radio frequency signals to Detect the presence of the user's hand in the danger zone of the machine 'and block or interrupt the operation of the machine once found. US Patent Nos. 4,959,909, 5,025,175, 5,122,091' 5,198,702 '5,201,684' 5,272,946, and 5,510,685 indicate coordinated meat Safety systems for product peeling equipment, which have been incorporated into this technical note 'for reference. These systems interrupt or reverse power to the machine when the user's hand touches any dangerous part of the machine, or releases the clutch from the engaged state. In general, the contact between the user and the machine is detected by monitoring the electrical contact between the thin metal mesh provided in the gloves worn by the user and certain metal elements in the danger zone of the machine. Although such systems are suitable for use with meat peeling machines, they are relatively slow in stopping the movement of the machine's cutting elements because they rely on the operation of a solenoid valve or have to overcome the inertia of the motor Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. However, because these systems operate at relatively low speeds, the blade does not need to be stopped quickly to prevent serious injury to the user. US Patent Nos. 3,7 85,230 and 4,026,177 — disclosed by this patent Has been incorporated into this technical note for reference-revealing a security system for use on a jigsaw to allow users to hand 5 paper sizes (CNS) A4 (21Gx297) ) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 4 5 886 2 Α7 _ _B7 V. Description of the invention ($) Stop the saw blade when it comes to the blade. This system uses the saw blade as an antenna in an electromagnetic proximity detector, so that the user's hand can approach the saw blade before the user's hand actually touches the saw blade. Once the user's hand is detected, the system engages a brake using a standard solenoid valve. Unfortunately, such systems are easily triggered by mistake and are relatively slow because they are solenoid valves. U.S. Patent No. 4,1 1 7,7 5 2 The content of its disclosed τκ has also been incorporated here for reference-revealing a similar brake system for band saws, in which the brakes are used by The user's hand is triggered by actual contact with the saw blade. However, the described system for detecting blade contact obviously cannot effectively and accurately detect contact. In particular, the system relies on standard electromagnetic brakes to operate by cutting off the power supply voltage to stop the saw blade and the pulley of the band saw. It is believed that this braking will take 50 milliseconds to 1 second to stop the blade. Thus, the system is too slow to stop the blade quickly to avoid serious injury. These existing systems are used in conjunction with commonly used power tools, none of which are fast enough and / or reliable enough to prevent serious injuries. Although proximity sensors can be used in some devices to increase the available time to stop moving objects, in many cases, during normal operation, the user's hand must reach quite close to the machine Cutting elements. For example, many types of woodworking equipment require the user's hand to pass fairly close to the cutting tool. As a result, existing proximity sensors, which are relatively imprecise, have failed to prove that they can be effectively used in this type of device. Applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 public love) even at proximity sensor 6 degrees' \ -------- ^ --------- ^ (Please read the back first Note to note? Matters will be refilled on this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 4 5 886 2 A7 B7 V. The invention description (zf) is practical and feasible. In many cases, the existing brake system Nor is it fast enough to prevent serious injuries. In devices where the proximity sensor has not proven to be effective, the cutting tool must be stopped very quickly to avoid serious injury if it is touched by the user's hand. For example, a user may feed a piece of wood through a table saw at a rate of approximately one foot per second. Assuming that the average response time is about one-tenth of a second ', the hand may have moved significantly more than one inch before the user even noticed it. This distance is far enough to cause the loss of many fingers, to cut off vital blood vessels and tendons, or even to cut off one hand completely. If it comes into contact with the blade of the saw, a brake is triggered immediately. The blade must be stopped within about a hundredth of a second to limit the depth of the injury to no more than one-eighth of an inch. Standard solenoid valves or other solenoid devices are generally not designed to operate within such time scales, especially where a significant force must be generated. For example, in the case of a solenoid valve or electromagnetic brake operated with a power line power supply of 60 Η z, the power may be in a low voltage phase when the brake is triggered, or even when the voltage reaches a sufficiently high level to start Many milliseconds have elapsed before actually moving the brakes, and the goal of completely stopping the saw blade or cutting tool is not far away. < Brief description of accompanying drawings > Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a machine with a quick-acting safety stop mechanism according to the present invention.

Description of the invention (丨 b) Two motors that drive the cutting tool 14 and one or more motors suitable for conveying workpieces such as wood, so that the workpieces contact the cutting tools工 4. Cutting tools 1 4 generally include one or more tool blades or other appliances suitable for cutting, which are suitable for cutting or removing local materials from a workpiece. The particular form of the cutting tool 14 will vary depending on the various embodiments of the machine. For example, for table saws, chop and miter saws, circular brocades, and rotary-arm saws, etc., their cutting tools 14 will generally include a circular rotary saw blade. The peripheral edge has a plurality of hall teeth. The cutting tool 14 of a jointer or planer includes a plurality of saw blades spaced in a radial direction. The cutting tool 14 of the band saw includes a narrow, annular saw toothed belt. A controller is provided between the motor assembly 12 and the power source 22. The controller generally includes one or more switches for starting and stopping the operation of the machine. As shown in the figure, the controller is in the form of an electromagnetic contactor 16, and the electromagnetic contactor 16 includes start and stop switches 18 and 20. An example of a suitable start switch 20 is a momentary contact switch which, when in operation, establishes a circuit to close the contactor. When the contactor is closed, power is delivered to the motor. The contactor includes an internal switch that keeps the circuit open when the contactor is closed. A normally closed instantaneous switch is an example of a suitable stop switch 22. When this normally closed instantaneous switch is in operation, it interrupts the circuit that maintains the contactor closed, thereby stopping the operation of the motor. As you can see from this article: The above description is only used to provide a copy of this 19 paper size applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) / y specification (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page )-Order:-Line · A7 45g8 & S2 ______B7____ — _ V.

The machine 10 includes a safety stop mechanism 30, which stops the cutting tool suddenly when the cutting tool comes into contact with the user's body. When used in this article, "real time", "immediately", "suddenly", "quickly", "immediately", and "immediately", they mean that during normal machine operation (also That is: when the user operates the machine at a normal feed rate as he wishes) 'fast enough to prevent serious injury to the user, such as cutting off one or more fingers of the user. With the safety stop mechanism of the present invention, the time from the initial contact of the cutting tool to the user's start to stop is preferably less than 10 milliseconds, and the stop time of less than 5 milliseconds or better is more desirable. Or it is possible to achieve. In addition, when the long stopping time can still prevent serious injuries under normal operating conditions, the safety stop mechanism can stop the machine for a long time, such as: 20, 50, or 1. 0 0 milliseconds is sufficient. As will be explained in more detail below, the safety stop mechanism 30 includes two main subsystems, one is a contact detection system 3 2 ′ and the other is a brake system 34. The contact detection system 32 monitors the contact of the cutting tool with the user. When such contact is detected, the contact detection system 32 triggers the brake system 34. In response to this actuation by the contact detection system 3.2, the brake system 34 suddenly stopped the cutting tool (or took other actions to eliminate the risk of injury). 20 (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Order:

域之人士當已熟知:人體的電容量是大約爲3 〇 〇微微法 拉。結果’當使用者接觸到切削刀具1 4的時候,使用者 身體的電容被電氣上連接到切削刀具固有的電容,藉此, 產生一個大於單獨切削刀具固有電容的有效電容量。因此 ,接觸檢測系統3 2可以電氣上連接到切削刀具以量取它 的電容量,以致於所量取的電容量之任何實質變化將代表 使用者和切削刀具之間的接觸。上述之各種傳統技術之安 21 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公爱) 45 8862 A7 B7 經濟部智慧財產居員工消費合作社印製 五、發明說明(丨1 ) 全系統也提供了種種方法來偵測這些可被用來觸發刹車系 統的接觸或近接情況。 圖2和圖3示意地說明一個電容性接觸感測偵察系統 3 2的特定例子。接觸檢測系統3 2包括有一個第一電氣 系統,其在架構上被設計成能夠產生輸入信號且經由切削 刀具在電容上被連接到一個架構上能偵測出該輸入信號的 第二電氣系統。在這種設計之中,切削刀具電容量的任何 變化會改變到達第二電氣系統的輸入信號。因而,在使用 者身體和切削刀具之間的接觸會引起第二電氣系統開始偵 測輸入信號的變化。 在該範例型之例子裏,接觸檢測系統3 2包括有一個[ 第一電氣系統3 8,該第一電氣系統3 8在架構上被設計 成能夠產生一個輸入信號。第一電氣系統3 8被連接到一 個安裝在接近一切削工具14但與該切削工具14相隔離 開的充電板6 2,在圖2裏,這個切削工具1 4是被顯示 爲一個鋸片6 4。充電板6 2在電容上被聯接到該鋸片上 ,其大小和位置係平行於該鋸片但與該鋸片分隔開。胃二 充電板6 6也被安裝靠近該鋸片,以便建立第二電容聯接 。充電板的數目、大小和位置可以隨意改變,它應被包括 在本發明之範圍以內。 圖2所示的裝置之效果是透過鋸片形成兩個串接的電 容器,在兩個電容器的匯接點的地方產生一個電容性分路 。因而輸入信號由充電板6 2經過鋸片被傳送到第二充 電板6 6。如同圖示一般,該範例型之接觸檢測系統3 2 22 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210x297公爱) I i III 11 I I 1' 农·---- I — —訂· 1 In I --- (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) ^58862 A7 -—__B7_______ 五、發明說明(yo ) 也包括有一個第二電氣系統8 8,該第二電氣系統8 8被 連接到第二充電板6 6,並且在架構上被設計成能夠偵測 出在第二充電板6 6所接收到的輸入信號中發生的變化。 當使用者碰觸到該鋸片的時候,使用者的身體之電容 量產生一個電容性負載在鋸片上。結果,在充電板和鋸片 之的電容性分路之大小被增大,藉此,減少到達第二充電 板6 6的電荷量。因此,當使用者接觸到該鋸片的時候, 通過該鋸片到達第二充電板6 6的輸入信號大小減小。如 同將被更詳細地討論到的,第二電氣系統8 8在架構上被 設計成能夠對這樣的輸入信號變化產生反應,而給予刹車 系統3 4—個輸出信號。 在某些案例之中,在使用者乾燥的皮膚和鋸片之間可 能有一個明顯的阻抗存在。這樣的阻抗可能會減少使用者 與該鋸片之間的電容性聯接。然而,當鋸片上的鋸齒穿透 使用者皮膚外層的時候,皮膚內部纖維的固有濕度將會減 少皮膚和鋸片接觸的阻抗,因而,在它們之間建立起一個 可靠的電氣連接。更有甚者,如同以下將說明的,第二電 氣系統8 8的靈敏度能夠按照意願來調整,以便能夠察覺 到輸入信號中即使是很輕微的改變。 雖然,此處說明一個用來偵測使用者和鋸片之間接觸 的範例型系統和方法,也有許多其它的系統和方法可供使 用,它們都應包括在本發明的範圍之中。譬如,該偵測系 統可以在使用者和鋸片之間發生接觸時測知人體的阻抗, 以測知這樣的接觸已然發生。作爲另一個例子,在靠近鋸 23 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) ,線· 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 A7 458862 B7__ 五、發明說明(/|) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁)

括有一個過濾器,以去除輸入信號裏的任何雜訊或其它會 被充電板6 6測出的電氣干擾信號。 一般而言,充電板與鋸片之間的間隔不是非常重要的 。然而’可能會想要將這些充電板與鋸片隔離開來一小段 被選定來減少鋸片對鋸片與充電板之間的電容量之偏轉效 應的距離。譬如,假如鋸片受到切削期間所產生的負荷之 影響而朝向其中之一塊充電板移動1/3 2英吋的時候, 對該充電板的電容量會即增加。因爲電容量是比例於充電 板之面積除以間隔距離,相對較大的分隔距離會減少一已 知之鋸片位移的栢對影響。相似地,將充電板放置在相對 較靠近鋸片的中心是較佳的方式,因爲鋸片在靠近它安裝 所在的心軸的部位其位移量爲最小。在大約1/ 3 2英时 至大約1/2英吋的範圍以內的距離已被證明是最有效的 ,雖然,在適當的條件下也可以採用在這個範圍以外的數 値。 在另一個替代性之具體實施例裏,至少其中一個充電

或甚至覆蓋充電板和鋸片之間的整個空間。在後者的情形 之中,分隔器其作用,將至少部份地,有如在充電板和鋸 片的導體表面之間的絕緣物。因此,在鋸片和充電板之間 的電容量將視分隔器的介電常數而定。除了一個或多個安 裝在充電板和鋸片之間的分隔器6 8以外’柑反的分隔器 (圖中未顯示出來)可以被裝設在與充電板相對方向之鋸 片側邊上面,以防止該鋸片偏轉太過於離開這些充電板。 分隔器可以被設計成在鋸片的表面上滑動’以致於這些充 電板會隨著鋸片的任何偏轉動作而移動。這種安排的好處 是:可以建立和保持一緊密的間隔,藉此,減少充電板的 大小。 這將可理解到:充電板6 2和6 6的大小也可以改變 。一般充電板面積是在1和1 0平方英吋之間,然而,許 多其它不同的大小尺寸也可以被使用,包括:超出這個範 圍以外的大小尺寸。一個適當充電板材料的例子是:鍍銅

電板可以是環形的’以便能夠完全圍繞在心軸的軸向分隔 部份的四周。充電板一般是被支撐在心軸活動塊8 1上面 ,像是藉由延伸自框架的固定座8 5來支撐。這種安排保 證當鋸片的位置或角度受到調整的時候,這些充電板將與 心軸呈一前一後地移動。固定座經常地被設計成能將充電 板與框架之間作電氣的絕緣。由於充電板在使用時不會像 鋸片一般地偏折,因此這些充電板能夠被放置在非常接近 心軸的位置’因而可以使用較小的充電板。 雖然以上已經說明數個能夠將充電板作電容性藕合到 心軸的範例型設計,可由本說明中理解到:有許多適當的 安排可以達成上述之目的,而本發明不限於某個特定的設 計。例如,在兩軸承之間,或在軸承與皮帶之間沒有足夠 35 t— 、 I n n n n n (I n n I n n I · n n n n n K I』5J* ϋ I i *1 n n n 1 l n

現在將注意力轉移到剎車系統3 4,有許多可能的方 法用來在接觸檢測系統3 2發出使用者與鋸片發生接觸的 信號的時候停止鋸片6 4。在一個具體實施例裏,剎車系 統3 4包括有一個或多個掣爪,這些掣爪在架構上被設計 成能夠移動到與鋸片接觸並且將鋸片立即帶引至停止。這 些掣爪一般是被擺設在相對地緊密靠近館片的地方,以便 能夠減少將掣爪移動到與鋸片相接觸位置所需要的時間。 一個驅動機構可對接觸檢測系統3

Description of the invention (/ #) (please first Read the notes on the back and fill in this page) In addition to activating the brake system 3 4, the contact detection system 3 2 also preferably interrupts the power to the motor assembly 12 or at least, interrupts the transmission of the cutting tool in the motor assembly The power of the transmission part. For example, when the machine 10 is provided with an electromagnetic contactor as described in the above example, the contact detection system 32 may be designed to interrupt the circuit holding the electromagnetic contactor so that the power connected to the motor is interrupted. It should be understood from this article: This step is optional, because interrupting the power to the motor of the machine is not necessary or sufficient to prevent serious injury to the user when the user touches the cutting tool method. Therefore, the main function of this step is to reduce the damage to the motor assembly or the drive system when the braking system 34 is stopping the rotary motion or other movement of the cutting tool. -Consumption of employees in the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Online Economics will be understood from this description: The contact detection system 3 2 can use any one or more different methods to detect the contact or proximity between the cutting tool and the user's body happened. In view of the relatively high response speed of electronic signals and circuits, appropriate detection methods include the use of electrical circuits to detect the electronic connection between the user and the cutting tool. Those familiar with this technical field should already be familiar with: the human body's capacitance is about 300 picofarads. As a result, when the user comes into contact with the cutting tool 14, the capacitance of the user's body is electrically connected to the inherent capacitance of the cutting tool, thereby generating an effective capacitance larger than the inherent capacitance of the individual cutting tool. Therefore, the contact detection system 32 can be electrically connected to the cutting tool to measure its capacitance, so that any substantial change in the measured capacitance will represent contact between the user and the cutting tool. The safety of the above-mentioned various traditional technologies 21 This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 public love) 45 8862 A7 B7 Printed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs Intellectual Property Consumers Cooperatives V. Invention Description (丨 1) Full The system also provides a variety of methods to detect these contact or proximity conditions that can be used to trigger the brake system. Figures 2 and 3 schematically illustrate a specific example of a capacitive touch sensing reconnaissance system 32. The contact detection system 32 includes a first electrical system, which is architecturally designed to generate an input signal and is connected to the capacitor via a cutting tool to a second electrical system which can detect the input signal on the architecture. In this design, any change in the cutting tool capacitance will change the input signal to the second electrical system. Thus, contact between the user's body and the cutting tool causes the second electrical system to begin detecting changes in the input signal. In this example, the contact detection system 32 includes a [first electrical system 38, which is architecturally designed to generate an input signal. The first electrical system 38 is connected to a charging plate 6 2 which is mounted close to but separate from a cutting tool 14. In FIG. 2, the cutting tool 14 is shown as a saw blade 6 4 . The charging plate 62 is coupled to the saw blade on the capacitor, and its size and position are parallel to the saw blade but separated from the saw blade. The stomach two charging plate 66 is also mounted near the saw blade in order to establish a second capacitive connection. The number, size and position of the charging pads can be arbitrarily changed, and it should be included in the scope of the present invention. The effect of the device shown in Figure 2 is to form two capacitors connected in series through the saw blade, creating a capacitive shunt at the junction of the two capacitors. The input signal is thus transmitted from the charging plate 62 through the saw blade to the second charging plate 66. As shown in the figure, this exemplary contact detection system 3 2 22 This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210x297 public love) I i III 11 II 1 'Agriculture · ---- I — —Order · 1 In I --- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) ^ 58862 A7 ---__ B7_______ V. Description of Invention (yo) also includes a second electrical system 8 8 and the second electrical system 8 8 It is connected to the second charging board 66 and is architecturally designed to detect a change in an input signal received by the second charging board 66. When the user touches the saw blade, the capacitance of the user's body creates a capacitive load on the saw blade. As a result, the size of the capacitive shunt between the charging plate and the saw blade is increased, thereby reducing the amount of charge reaching the second charging plate 66. Therefore, when the user touches the saw blade, the size of the input signal that reaches the second charging board 66 through the saw blade is reduced. As will be discussed in more detail, the second electrical system 88 is architecturally designed to be able to respond to such input signal changes while giving the brake system 34 4 output signals. In some cases, there may be a significant impedance between the user's dry skin and the saw blade. Such impedance may reduce the capacitive coupling between the user and the saw blade. However, when the sawtooth on the saw blade penetrates the outer layer of the user's skin, the inherent humidity of the fibers inside the skin will reduce the impedance of the skin and saw blade contact, thus establishing a reliable electrical connection between them. Furthermore, as will be explained below, the sensitivity of the second electrical system 88 can be adjusted as desired so that even a slight change in the input signal can be detected. Although an exemplary system and method for detecting contact between a user and a saw blade is described here, there are many other systems and methods that can be used, all of which are within the scope of the present invention. For example, the detection system can detect the impedance of the human body when a contact occurs between the user and the saw blade to detect that such contact has occurred. As another example, near the saw 23 paper size, the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) is applied (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page), staff of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by the Consumer Cooperative A7 458862 B7__ 5. Description of the Invention (/ |) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Radio signals can be placed near the film, so that the user ’s body functions as an antenna In order to change the signal received through the saw blade when the user comes into contact with the saw blade. Similarly, by standing on a signal transmission felt or wearing a transmitter, a signal can be applied to the user's body, and a detection system can monitor the signal generated by the contact or proximity of the cutting tool. receive. As another example, a proximity detector may be used as described above. Because the brake system 34 can stop the saw blade in a few milliseconds, this proximity detector can be set to trigger the safety system only when the user is very close to the saw blade. This will allow the user to place the workpiece close to the saw blade without triggering the brake system. As another example, the wire mesh glove detection system used in meat cutting equipment can also be used to achieve the same purpose. Therefore, it will be understood that although an example of an exemplary capacitive contact detection system is described here, any other suitable method capable of detecting the user's contact with or approaching the saw blade can be used. The Intellectual Property Bureau employee consumer cooperative prints Figure 3 to illustrate the appropriate architecture of a first electrical system 38 and a second electrical system 88. However, those familiar with the field of electrical technology will understand that the exemplary architecture of the contact detection system 32 shown in Figure 3 is just one of many architectures that can be used. Thus, it will be understood that any suitable embodiment or architecture may be used within the scope of the invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the first electrical system 38 includes an oscillator circuit capable of generating a waveform input signal having a frequency of approximately 200 kHz and a voltage amplitude of 12 volts, such as a square wave signal. 24 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 = < 297 Public Love) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs ^ 4 5 8862 Α7 Β7 V. Description of Invention (> :). Alternatively, the first electrical system 38 may be architecturally designed to generate a signal having a different frequency and / or different amplitude and / or different waveform. The oscillator is formed by a pair of inverters 40 and 42, which is a bistable oscillator of CD 4 0 4 0 in architecture. The output of the inverter 40 is connected to a 100 picofarad (P f) capacitor 4 4, which is connected to the inverter 4 2 via a 100 ohm resistor 4 6 Input. A 10 ohm resistor 48 connects the output of the inverter 42 to the junction between the capacitor 44 and the 10 ohm resistor 48. The output terminal of the inverter 42 is connected to the input terminal of the inverter 40. A 10 仟 ohm resistor 50 connects the output of inverter 40 to the input of inverter 52. Inverter 52 is used as an output buffer to drive the input waveform. The signal enters the saw blade. 2 仟 ohm series resistor 5 4 is to reduce the high-frequency components of the signal to reduce the instantaneous oscillation in the input signal ^ It will be understood that the specific form of the oscillator signal can be changed and there are many suitable The waveform and frequency can be used. You can choose a waveform that can maximize the signal / noise ratio. For example, you can choose a frequency at which the human body has the lowest impedance, or the human body has the most local capacitance relative to the workpiece to be cut. In addition, there are many different oscillator circuits that have been publicly disclosed in the art, and these oscillator circuits are also very suitable for generating input signals. The input signal generated by the oscillator is sent to the charging board 62 through a shielded electric cable 60.

Description of Invention (yj) is used to convert the input signal and Any electrical noise present in the operating environment is isolated 'to ensure that a "clean" input signal is sent to the charging pad 62. Other methods to prevent noise in the input signal can also be used. A further alternative is that the second electrical system 88 may include a filter to remove any noise in the input signal or other electrical interference signals that would be detected by the charging board 66. In general, the spacing between the charging plate and the saw blade is not very important. However, ‘might want to isolate these charging plates from the saw blade a short distance selected to reduce the deflection effect of the saw blade on the capacitance between the saw blade and the charging plate. For example, if the saw blade is moved by one third of one of the charging plates under the influence of the load generated during cutting, the capacitance of the charging plate will increase. Because the capacitance is proportional to the area of the charging board divided by the separation distance, a relatively large separation distance will reduce the effect of a known blade displacement. Similarly, it is better to place the charging board relatively near the center of the saw blade, because the saw blade has the smallest displacement near the mandrel where it is installed. Distances in the range of about 1/32 inches to about 1/2 inches have proven to be most effective, although numbers outside this range can be used under appropriate conditions. In another alternative embodiment, at least one of the charging boards may include one or more insulation dividers 68 mounted on the side of the charger near the charger, as shown in FIG. 2. The insulating divider 68 acts as an actual barrier to prevent the saw blade from being deflected too close to the charging plate. This is when the distance between the charging plate and the saw blade is 26.

The invention description (ytj) is particularly useful when it is relatively small of. The separator 68 can be made of any electrically insulating material, including ceramic, glass, and so on. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the insulating spacers 68 cover only a small area between the charging plate and the saw blade. As a result, these insulating spacers 68 are provided between the saw blade and the charging plate. The capacitance has only a relatively small effect. Alternatively, the divider can cover a substantial portion of the space, or even the entire space between the charging pad and the saw blade. In the latter case, the divider functions at least partially as an insulator between the charging pad and the conductor surface of the saw blade. Therefore, the capacitance between the saw blade and the charging board will depend on the dielectric constant of the separator. In addition to one or more separators 6 8 installed between the charging plate and the saw blade, a separator (not shown in the figure) can be installed on the side of the saw blade opposite to the charging plate. This prevents the saw blade from deflecting too far off the charging plates. The divider can be designed to slide ' over the surface of the saw blade so that these charging plates will move with any deflection of the saw blade. The advantage of this arrangement is that a close interval can be established and maintained, thereby reducing the size of the charging pad. It will be understood that the sizes of the charging plates 62 and 66 can also be changed. Generally, the area of the charging board is between 1 and 10 square inches. However, many other sizes can be used, including sizes outside this range. An example of a suitable charging board material is a copper-plated printed circuit board, which is relatively hard and thin. Other examples include: any more conductive conductor material such as gold, aluminum, brass, steel, etc. In the ground with a large grounded metal structure near the saw blade 27 --------- Order ---------- Wire (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper Standards are applicable to 111 national standards (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 mm) 45 88 6 2 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (* ^), a larger driver can be used The charging plate 62 partially shields the saw blade to prevent a capacitive connection with the ground structure. Although, the larger charging board will also have an increased capacitive connection to the ground structure, which will not disturb the operation of the system, because the first electrical system 38 can drive far more electricity than is generated in these environments. capacity. As described above, the input signal is transmitted from the charging board 62 to the second charging board 66 via the saw blade 64. As shown in Fig. 3, the signal received on the second charging board 66 is then sent to the second electrical system 88 via a shielded cable 90. The second electrical system 8 8 is architecturally designed to detect changes in the signal due to contact between the user's body and the saw blade. It will be understood from this description that the second electrical system 88 can be implemented in many different designs and architectures. In the specific embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the 'second electrical system 88 compares the amplitude of the input signal received by the second charging board 66 with an established reference voltage. If the input signal received at the second charging board 66 is lower than the reference voltage for a period of time, the second electrical system 88 will generate an output signal to the braking system 34. The brake system 34 is architecturally designed to be able to receive this output signal and immediately start to work, stopping the operation of the saw blade. The specific components of the second electrical system 88 may vary with many different factors', including factors such as use, desired sensitivity, availability of components, available power categories, and the like. In this exemplary embodiment, a shielded cable 9 is connected between the first charging plate 66 and a voltage divider g.

The function of the voltage divider 9 1 is to bias the output signal from the second charging board 66. Reached half the size of the voltage supply. The biased signal is sent to the positive input terminal of an operational amplifier 96. The operational amplifier 96 may be any of a number of operational amplifiers already known in the art. An example of such an operational amplifier is a T L 0 8 2 operational amplifier. The negative input of this op amp is from a reference voltage source 9 7. In the specific embodiment of this exemplary type, the reference voltage source is composed of a 10 ohm ohm potentiometer 98, which is connected in series to two 10 ohm ohms Between the resistors 100 and 102, these two 10 ohm resistors 100 and 102 are respectively connected to the ground and the supply voltage source. A 0.47 microfarad capacitor 104 is used to stabilize the output of the reference voltage. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the operational amplifier 96 functions as a comparator for an input signal and a reference voltage. Generally, the voltage reference is adjusted so that its number is slightly lower than the maximum input signal voltage from the second charging board 66. As a result, when the input signal voltage from the charging board is less than the reference voltage, the output of the operational amplifier is low, and when the input signal voltage from the charging board is greater than the reference voltage, the output of the operational amplifier is high. Where the input signal is a periodic signal, the output of a square wave 'operational amplifier 96 like the one generated by the first electrical system 38 will be a similar periodic signal.

Description of the invention (V ° |) When the user touches the saw blade, the maximum input signal voltage will be reduced Below the reference voltage 'the output of the op amp no longer rises. The output of the operational amplifier 96 is coupled to a charging circuit 106. The charging circuit 106 includes a 240 pico farad capacitor 108 connected between the output terminal of the operational amplifier 96 and the ground. ~ 100 0 ohm ohmic discharge resistors 1 12 are connected to the capacitor 108. When the output of the operational amplifier 96 is high, the capacitor 108 is charged. In contrast, when the output of the operational amplifier 96 is low, the charge from the capacitor 108 is discharged through the discharge resistor 11 12 with a time constant of about 24 microseconds. Therefore, unless capacitor 108 is repeatedly charged by a pulse from the operational amplifier, the pressure from the stomach on capacitor 108 will be released to less than the supply in about 25 to 50 microseconds to the original stomach. The pressure is half the size. A diode 1 1 0 prevents the capacitor from discharging into the fj operational amplifier 9 6. Diode 1 1 0 can be any of a number of suitable diodes already known in the art, such as the i N 9 1 4 diode. It will be appreciated that the discharge time required for capacitor 108 can be adjusted by selecting a different number of capacitors or different number of resistors 1 12. As explained above, if the detected signal is received without substantially attenuating from its reference voltage at the operational amplifier 96, the charging circuit 106 will be repeatedly charged and will cross the capacitor 108. The voltage will remain high. The voltage from the capacitor 108 is applied to the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier 1 1 4. The operational amplifier 1 1 4 can be any of many suitable deviating amplifiers that are well known in this technical field. 30 This paper size is applicable to the national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) ~ 'read first Note on the back then fill out this buy}- < ° _-Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economics B7 V. Description of the invention) Any of them, such as a T L 0 8 2 operational amplifier. The positive input terminal of the operational amplifier 1 1 4 is connected to a reference voltage, which is approximately equal to half the supply voltage. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the reference voltage is provided by a reference voltage source 97. If the 'charging circuit 106' is recharged, the output of the operational amplifier 1 1 4 will be low. However, if the output of operational amplifier 9 6 does not rise for a period of 25 to 50 microseconds, the voltage across capacitor 108 will decay to less than the reference voltage, and operational amplifier 1 1 4 will output a high Signal indicating contact between the user's body and the saw blade. As will be explained in more detail below, the output signal from the operational amplifier 11 4 is connected to activate the brake system 34 and stop the saw blade. The length of time between contact and braking can be adjusted by selecting the time constant of capacitor 108 and resistor 12. It should be noted that depending on the size, structure and number of teeth on the blade and the area in contact with the operator, the electrical contact between the operator and the blade may be intermittent. Therefore, the system needs to detect contact in less than or less than a single jagged contact with a user's finger or other body part. For example, suppose a 10-inch blade rotates at 3600 revolutions per minute, and the contact distance is about a quarter of an inch (about the width of a finger), a point on the surface of the blade , Such as the tip of a sawtooth, will be in contact with the user for about 100 microseconds. After this period of contact, there will generally be a non-contact period until the next sawtooth reaches the finger. The length of the contact and non-contact periods will depend on various factors, such as the number of teeth on the blade and the speed of rotation of the blade.

Invention Description (/) Allows the system to detect contact with the first sawtooth Although it is not necessary, it is more This is a good way because the time interval to the second sawtooth may be quite long for a blade with relatively few sawtooths. Furthermore, 'any delay in detection will increase the cutting depth β experienced by the operator. Therefore, In this exemplary embodiment, the charging circuit is designed to attenuate within about 25 to 50 microseconds to ensure that the second thoron system 8 8 is able to prevent the It can also respond to instantaneous contact. In particular, the edger is architecturally designed to generate a 200 kHz signal with a pulse approximately every 5 microseconds. As a result, many pulses of the input signal occur during each contact To increase the reliability of contact detection . Another alternative is 'the oscillator and charging circuit can be designed to make the detection system respond faster or slower. Generally speaking' is to maximize the reliability of contact detection However, 'to minimize the possibility of detection errors. Those skilled in the art will understand that' the saw blade 6 4 should be isolated from ground to allow the input signal to It is coupled from the charging plate 62 to the second charging plate 66. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the saw blade 64 is electrically separated from the mandrel 7 for installing the saw blade. 0, so the blade is isolated from the ground and other structural parts of the machine. There are many suitable designs to provide electrical isolation between the saw blade and the mandrel. These designs can be changed depending on the special structure of the machine 10. For example, if for a 5/8 inch diameter mandrel 7 0, the saw blade 6 4 can be provided with a hole of 1 inch diameter, in this 1 inch diameter 32 --------- ---- -------Order -------- I line (Please read the Please fill in this page for the matters needing attention.)

Description of the invention (> 0) A hole is provided with a 3/1 6-inch thick cylindrical plastic bushing 7 2 'as shown in Figure 4. Insulating washers 7, 4, 7 6 are arranged on either side of the saw blade to connect the saw blade to the spindle The flange 78 is isolated from the mandrel washer 80. These insulating washers should be thick enough so that only a negligible amount of capacitance can be generated between the saw blade and the ground mandrel flange and pad. This thickness is generally about 1/8 inch, although, depending on other factors, '1/3 2 inches or less may be suitable. In addition, it is also possible to manufacture all or part of the mandrel elements, such as ceramics, from non-conductive materials to reduce or eliminate the need to electrically isolate the happy mandrel. A spindle nut 82 secures the entire saw blade assembly to the spindle 70. The frictional force generated by locking the spindle nut 82 allows torque to be transmitted from the spindle to the saw blade of the saw. It is better, but not necessary: if the brakes cause the machine to stop abruptly, the saw blade can slide slightly on the mandrel to reduce the mass that must be blocked, and reduce damage to the saw blade, mandrel, and / Or other components in the drive system of the saw. Furthermore, it may be desirable to make these bushings from a material that is sufficiently flexible to become shackled when the saw blade is suddenly stopped. For example, when the brake is activated, depending on the type of braking system used, a substantial radial impact load can be transmitted to the mandrel. A deformable bushing can be used to absorb part of these impacts and reduce the chance of damage to the mandrel. In addition, the appropriate braking position and the deformable bushing can be used to move the library away from the user when the braking action is triggered 'as will be discussed further in detail below. 33 Use the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇x 297 ---- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) Order · -line · Member of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy χ " ΐ I ρΐ Ministry of Economy Wisdom Application section of the property bureau employee's consumption agreement; '4- 5 08 6 2 A7 ------------ package_____ V.

Board 6 6. Although, the specific execution method for an alternative embodiment will change with the structure of the cutting tool, an exemplary execution method is illustrated in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the saw blade 64 is directly mounted on the spindle 70. As shown in Fig. 4, the saw blade is fixed to the mandrel by a mandrel flange 78, a mandrel washer 80 and a mandrel nut 82. The mandrel is supported by a pair of bearings 7 and 9 arranged separately along the longitudinal axis of the mandrel and can be rotated. However, the bearing 7 9 does not directly contact the "mandrel" and is disposed between the mandrel and the bearing with an electrically insulating bush 8 4. The bearing 7 9 is installed in a mandrel movable block 8. The mandrel movable block 8 1 The saw blade can be raised and lowered, and it can also be tilted for cutting at an oblique angle. A motor (not shown) drives the spindle through a belt 8 3 wound on a pulley 8 6. The pulley 8 6 is arranged on the opposite end of the mandrel to the saw blade. The belt 8 3 is generally made of a non-conductive material, so the mandrel is not electrically coupled (connected) with the ground wire. It can be made of any suitable material that is relatively durable and non-conductive. These materials include: plastic, ceramic, etc. The insulating bushing 84 can be designed to be mounted on a mandrel with a fixed diameter, as shown in the figure, Alternatively, the mandrel may be provided with grooves to accommodate these bushings, so that the 34 paper sizes are applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm)} ..

Description of Invention (> X) The outer diameter of the bushing is flush with the outer diameter of the mandrel. It can be understood that there are many other arrangements for electrically isolating (insulating) the mandrel. Here are some examples: an insulating bush 84 can be provided on the bearing 7 9 and the mandrel movable block 8 1 Or, at least some of these bearings can be made of non-conductive material. Another alternative is that a larger part of the spindle assembly can be isolated from the rest of the saw. In any case, the charging plate 62 and the charging plate 66 are arranged along the side of the mandrel, but are slightly separated from the mandrel. These charging plates generally have a shape and arrangement corresponding to the mandrel to ensure Sufficient capacitance is combined. For example, these charging plates may be provided with a slot shape so as to be able to fit the cylindrical shape of the mandrel, as shown in Figure 5. Another alternative is that these charging plates may be ring-shaped so as to be able to The axis that completely surrounds the mandrel The periphery of the divided part. The charging board is generally supported on the mandrel movable block 81, such as by a fixed seat 85 extending from the frame. This arrangement ensures that when the position or angle of the saw blade is adjusted These charging plates will move back and forth with the mandrel. The fixing base is often designed to electrically isolate the charging plate from the frame. Because the charging plate is not biased like a saw blade when in use Fold, so these charging pads can be placed very close to the mandrel ', so smaller charging pads can be used. Although a number of example designs have been described above which can capacitively couple the charging pad to the mandrel, It is understood in this description that there are many appropriate arrangements to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, and the present invention is not limited to a specific design. For example, there is not enough 35 t between the two bearings, or between the bearing and the belt— I nnnnn (I nn I nn I · nnnnn KI ′ 5J * ϋ I i * 1 nnn 1 ln (Please read the note on the back first Please fill in this page again for this matter) This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 g) 4 5 8 B 6 2 A7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs _______B7 V. Invention Description )) In the case of space, a charging board or one of the charging boards can be placed on the other side of the pulley (as shown in Figure 5). Alternatively, a direct, non-capacitive electrical connection to the saw blade can be maintained to detect the capacitive load of the user when in contact. Turning attention now to the braking system 34, there are many possible ways to stop the saw blade 6 4 when the contact detection system 32 2 signals that the user is in contact with the saw blade. In a specific embodiment, the brake system 34 includes one or more pawls that are architecturally designed to move into contact with the blade and bring the blade immediately to a stop. These pawls are generally placed relatively close to the pavilion to reduce the time required to move the pawls into contact with the saw blade. A driving mechanism can respond to the output signal of the contact detection system 32, and move the pawl to a position in contact with the wrong piece. These claws can engage any one or more portions of the saw blade ' including teeth, sides, and the like. Another alternative is: if the saw blade is firmly attached to the mandrel, these pawls can engage the mandrel to stop the blade from rotating when the mandrel is to be stopped suddenly. Some mandrel assemblies include a mandrel flange 7 8 'with a pin 7 7 which extends parallel to the mandrel shaft 70 and engages one of the saw blades separated from the center hole Inside the hole, as represented by the dotted line in Figure 4. If a bolt is provided, the bolt 7 7 may be a shear pin 'in order to allow the saw blade to be stopped momentarily without also stopping the spindle. A specific embodiment of an exemplary brake system 34 is shown in FIG.

Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5 88 6 2 A7 ___B7 V. Description of the invention () 10 :) Design can change with the architecture of a particular cutting tool. As shown in the figure, a separate brake pawl 1 40 is pivotably mounted across a shoulder bolt 1 4 2 and is mounted to the saw frame. The shoulder bolt 1 4 2 is screwed in Or a sawing machine frame fixed to an adjacent saw blade. The pawl is mounted to engage the teeth on the periphery of the saw blade. The end of the pawl adjacent to the saw blade may be provided with a bevel or a shape that ensures that the pawl fully and immediately engages the tooth when it touches the tooth. In addition, the shape of the pawl can be designed so that once it comes into contact with the teeth, the action of the saw blade can further pivot the pawl and drive the pawl closer to the teeth. In this exemplary embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a spring 130, which is designed to press the free end of the pawl against the blade. Generally speaking, the shape of the spring should be able to apply a continuous force to the pawl in the direction of the saw blade once the brake system is activated. This will ensure that the pawl does not jump back from where it touched the blade. It will be apparent from this description that the present invention can use many different spring-shaped architectures, including: compression springs, tension springs, torsion springs, and the like. In this exemplary embodiment, the spring is made of a length of 1/8 inch piano wire, and the central part is wound into a wire 圏 1 3 2 and stands across a bolt (not shown in the figure). ) It forms part of the frame of the sawing machine. However, other sizes and types of wire may be suitable. Wire-controlled nose landing gears used on radio-controlled aircraft are another example of a suitable spring. In any case, the spring is pressed against the pawl to force the pawl against the saw blade. Generally speaking, the spring will exert a force of 1 to 500 pounds on the pawl, and a force of 15 to 100 pounds 37, Λ -------- order ----- ---- Line (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 4 5 88 62 Member of Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs 11-Xiao Cha t pit A7 B7 i, invention description (Qy) force is more suitable. Larger forces provide faster activation, but also make the system for releasing the pawl more complicated. In the illustrated embodiment, one end of the spring is biased against another bolt 1 3 4 mounted on the saw frame. The opposite end of the spring 130 from the bolt 1 3 4 is in contact with the free end of the brake pawl 140. The reels 1 3 2 and the bolts 1 3 4 are arranged in a position capable of bending the spring against the pawl even if the pawl is in contact with the saw blade. A restraining member 1 2 2 holds the spring in a slightly more bent state so that the pawl can be slightly pivoted away from the saw blade during normal use. When the contact detection system 32 issues an output signal indicating that contact between the user and the blade occurs, the restricting member releases a spring that drives the pawl to engage it with the blade. If the brake system 34 is activated and the spring is released, the system can reset the system by pulling the spring away from the pawl and reconnecting and / or replacing the restricting member. The limiting component 1 2 2 can be designed in many different architectural forms. Generally speaking, the restricting member is designed to truly release the spring instantaneously upon receiving an output signal from the detection system. In this exemplary embodiment, the restriction member 1 2 2 is formally a fusible member or a fusible wire. The fusible element 1 2 2 is connected to an ignition system 115 (which will be described in detail below) which fuses the wire in response to an output signal from the detection circuit. Once the wire is fused, the spring is released and the drive pawl snaps into the blade. To reset this example brake system, you need to install a new fusible 38 {Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) kSJ · _.

Description of the invention (y4) Break the component to keep the spring in the state of leaving the library piece. At the same time, the pawl can be replaced. The fusible member 1 2 2 may be any one of many materials well known in this technical field. For example, a suitable fusible element is a 0 ' 010 inch diameter nichrome wire or a steel strand. In general, such a fusible member should have a high tensile strength such that the strength can be maximized compared to the heat required to fuse the member. In this exemplary embodiment, a loop is formed at each end of the wire. The overall overall length is generally less than about 1 inch, and there is a fuse zone of about 1/16 to 1/2 inch between the two rings. Short fuses are useful for concentrating power in a small area when the brake is activated. It may be more desirable to make the fusible member from a larger wire with a reduced waist section ' This may achieve a higher current density in the waist section for more concentrated thermal energy. One end ring of the fusible element of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is connected to the brake bias spring 1 3 0 opposite to the bolt 1 3 4. The other end of the ring is installed in an electrically insulated contact post 136 °. When a current is applied to the contact post 136, it flows through the fusible member and reaches the spring 130. The conductivity of the springs and bolts electrically connects the fuse to a grounded sawing machine frame. Therefore, when the current is sent to the contact post 136, it flows through the fusible member and reaches the grounded sawing machine frame. When sufficient current is supplied, the fusible member will melt and release the spring to drive the pawl against the saw blade. It can be understood from this description: According to the paper size of this Form 39, the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) is applicable. 458862 The Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 'employee consumption cooperation agreement A7 ___ B7_____ 5' invention description) Invented, there are many different methods for the arrangement of the fusible member. As an illustrative example, one loop of the wire can be attached to the contact post 1 36, while the other loop at the opposite end is fixed to a ground post C (not shown in the figure). If the midpoint of the wire bushing is placed beyond the end of the spring adjacent to the pawl, the spring is released when the wire is melted. In this design, the current that melts the fusible member only passes through the fusible member from the contact post and into the ground post. It will be understood from this description that the size of the fusible member will depend at least in part on the force required to limit the spring. In general, larger spring forces are preferred to increase the speed and force with which the pawl contacts the saw blade. Where more pressure is required, a larger diameter fusible member may be required, thereby requiring a larger amount of current to fuse the fusible member. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the The spring—usually 15 to 15 pounds of force—pushes against the fusible member, and when released, pushes against the brake pawl. It should be understood that a wide range of forces and mechanisms 1 can be used to move the pawl, and this range of forces can be up to hundreds of pounds or more. In some environments, it may also be desirable to use a two-stage release system, as is used in many catchers, to reduce the force required for the fusible member. Please refer to FIG. 28 below. This allows the use of ~ smaller straight oblong stemable breakable wires that can be fused more quickly and with less sudden changes in current.

For the exemplary type of fusible element described above, about 20 to 100 amperes are required Current to ensure complete and rapid fuse. As those skilled in the art will understand: there are many circuits that can be adapted to provide such a current surge. The specific embodiment of the exemplary ignition system 115 shown in Figure 3 Including ~ or more charge storage devices, these charge storage devices are discharged through the fusible member 1 2 2 in response to the output signal of the second electrical system 88. The use of the charge storage device eliminates the need for a large current supply source To fuse the need for the fusible member 1 2 2. However, as will be understood from this description: a current supply source can be used to replace the charge storage device. Alternatively, other devices can also be used to supply the required current. These devices include a silicon Controlled rectifier or triac. The ignition system of the exemplary embodiment includes a pair of relatively high current transistors 1 1 8 which are connected to store the current stored in the storage device. It is transmitted to the fusible element 1 2 2. The transistor i 丄 8 is turned on when it receives the output signal of the second electrical circuit 88.

Invention Description (q). A 1000 ohm resistor 1 2 4 connected to a 24 volt supply source is used to establish and maintain the capacitor. The charge on the group. When the output of the operational amplifier 1 1 4 rises, the transistor 1 1 8 allows the charge stored in the capacitor bank to pass through the fusible member 1 2 2 β and the charge stored in the capacitor bank. The abruptly released element heats the rupturable member 12 to reach its melting point in approximately 1 to 5 milliseconds. Alternatively, one or more transistors can be replaced by other switching devices, such as a silicon controlled rectifier (S C R). One of the advantages of using stored charge to melt the fusible member 1 2 is that the ignition system does not depend on the electrical capacity of the power line or the phase of the power line voltage. As explained above, the contact between the user's body and the teeth of the saw blade 64 may be intermittent, depending on the size and arrangement of the teeth. Although, the second electrical system 88 is generally designed to detect a contact time as short as 25 to 50 microseconds. Once the first saw tooth of the saw blade passes through the user's body, The signal received by the second electrical circuit may return to the normal state until the next saw tooth contacts the user's body. As a result, although the output signal of the operational amplifier 1-4 will increase due to the first contact, once the first contact is completed, the output signal may return to a low potential state. If the output signal is not kept in the high potential state for a long enough time to fully discharge the charge in the charge storage device, the fusible member 1 2 2 may not be melted. Therefore, the second electrical system 88 can be provided with a charging circuit 1 1 7 similar to the charging circuit 10 6 on the output of the operational amplifier 1 1 4.

Description of the invention (ί ^ 〇) The function of the circuit 117 is to ensure that the output signal will be maintained at a high potential. For a long time to fully discharge the charge storage device, the fusible member 1 2 2 is melted. In this exemplary embodiment, the charging circuit 117 includes a 0.47 microfarad capacitor 119 connected between the output terminal of the operational amplifier 114 and a ground ground. When the output of the operational amplifier 1 1 4 rises, the 0.4 7 microfarad capacitor 1 1 9 is charged to the potential of the output signal. If the output of the operational amplifier 1 1 4 returns to a low level, the voltage across the capacitor 1 1 9 will be discharged through the 10 ohm resistor 116 with a large time constant of about 4.7 milliseconds. One such as a 1 N 9 1 4 diode prevents the capacitor 1 1 9 from discharging through the operational amplifier 1 1 4. The above system is able to detect the occurrence of contact ' within about 50 microseconds and release the brake within approximately one to three milliseconds. The brake then contacts the saw blade in approximately one to three milliseconds. The saw blade normally stops after a brake engagement of no more than 2 to 10 milliseconds. As a result, if the cutting tool is accidentally touched, the injury to the operator can be minimized. By properly selecting components, the present invention can stop the operation of the saw blade in 1 millisecond or less. Another way is, depending on various parameters, such as spring force, claw size and shape, saw blade type, saw blade speed, etc., the brake system is designed on the architecture at 5 ms, 10 ms, Stop the blade in 15 milliseconds, 20 milliseconds, or 50 milliseconds.

FIG. 6 illustrates another alternative embodiment of the first electrical system 38, the second electrical system 88, and the ignition system 115, which may form part of the safety stop mechanism 30 of the present invention. . This alternative first electrical system 38 is architecturally designed to be able to use a separate comparator 400, such as the LM 3 9 3 comparator, to produce a square wave. A 1 million ohm resistor 402 is connected between the high-potential input of the comparator 402 and the ground. Another 1 million ohm resistor 404 is connected between the high potential input terminal of the comparator 400 and a low voltage supply source V. A 1 million ohm resistor 406 is connected between the high-potential input of the comparator and the output of the comparator. A 10 0 picofarad capacitor 4 0 8 is connected between the low potential input of the comparator and the ground ground. A 27 ohm resistor 4 1 0 is connected between the low-potential input terminal of the comparator and the output terminal of the comparator. A 3.3 ohm resistor 412 is connected between the low voltage supply source V and the output of the comparator.

Invention description The number of one or more components of an alternative first electrical system 38 can be changed In order to generate signals with different frequencies, different waveforms, etc., as in the above-mentioned exemplary embodiment, the signal generated by the alternative first electrical system 38 is sent to a cable with a shielding effect. The line 60 reaches the charging pad 62. This signal is capacitively coupled to the second charging plate 66 through the saw blade 64. An alternative second electrical system 88 receives a signal from the second charging board 6 6 via a shielded cable 9 0 and compares the signal with a reference voltage. If the signal falls below the reference voltage for a period of about 25 microseconds, an output signal is generated indicating that contact between the saw blade and the user's body has occurred. An alternative second electrical system 8 8 includes a voltage divider 91, which is composed of a 2 2 ohm resistor 4 1 6 and a 2 2 ohm resistor 4 1 8 of. This voltage divider 91 applies a bias to a signal received via the cable 90, so that it reaches half the low voltage supply source V. Since the low-frequency signal is attenuated, the low resistance of the resistors 4 1 6 and 4 1 8 is used to reduce the noise of 60 Hz relative to the resistors 9 2 and 9 4. The biased signal is sent to a low-potential input of a second comparator 4 2 0 such as a 1 M 3 9 3 comparator. The positive terminal of the second comparator 4 2 0 is connected to a reference voltage source 4 2 2. In the illustrated specific embodiment, the reference voltage source is a 10 ohm ohm potentiometer. 4 2 4 is connected in series between two 100 ohm resistors 4 2 6 and 4 2 8 The resistors 4 2 6 and 4 2 8 are respectively connected to 45.

A7 B7 五、發明說明) 個已知的限定値,該系統將會判定這種情形是表示掣爪面 沒有接近鋸片到足夠的程度。 . 因爲對於許多的切削機器而言,鋸片的高度和/或角 度是可以調整的,所以會想要將該掣爪安裝在機器框架上 的一個會隨著鋸片移動的部位上。這樣的安排將會保證掣 爪被維持在相對於該鋸片的一個預定位置上。相似地,充 電板是較佳地被裝設在可隨著鋸片或樞轉軸移動的地方, 以便於保持與它們之間有一個預定的固定間隔。以上已經 說明一個範例型之具體實施例,在這個具體實施例裏,充 電扳是被裝設成能夠與樞轉軸一起移動。 另一個替代方式是,一個固定掣爪可以在架構上被設 計成能夠在任何方位上嚙接鋸片。此類固定掣爪的一個範 例型之具體實施例是說明於圖1 6和圖1 7裏。在這個範 例型之具體實施例裏,剎車系統3 4包括有一個狹長掣爪 2 0 0。該狹長掣爪2 0 0的大小和形狀是設計成沿著鋸 片6 4的外周緣延伸,就如同它是沿著垂直方向調整的。 相似地,狹長掣爪2 0 0的寬度是被設計成延伸鋸片6 4 的傾斜寬度。如圖1 6和圖1 7所示,狹長掣爪2 0 0是 安裝在大體平行於鋸片的垂直行程,並且大體上與鋸片的 傾斜軸線呈垂直。結果,不論鋸片的位置和方位如何’該 鋸片和接觸表面2 0 2之間的間隔空間保持不變。 狹長掣爪2 0 0的上端是藉由樞轉銷2 0

4裏的游隙而定,該擺動臂可能傾向朝上升起 。假如,該擺動臂向上升起,鋸片也將上升,可能會加重 對使用者的傷害。角動量的這項移轉對於掣爪是安裝在鋸 床的框架上的場合是不可能會成爲一個問題的。然而’在 掣爪是安裝在擺動臂的場合,可能會想要將擺動臂的樞轉 中心設置在桌鋸的後方。這種架構能夠利用反轉鋸片旋轉 方向並且移動剎車到擺動臂上而可從圖1 8中觀察到。鋸 床的前方將是在圖18裏的左側。在這種架構裏面,鋸片 的角動量在被掣爪傳遞到擺動臂的時候將傾向於推動鋸片 向下,而不是將鋸片向上推動。另外地,蝸輪可以利用一 根彈簧將其固定在位置上,以容許蝸輪移動,以便讓擺動 臂在鋸片被擋住的時候向下偏轉。 另外,在塑膠襯套如先前的說明般被放置在鋸片和心 軸之間的場合,由阻擋鋸片所產生的實質作用力幾乎立刻 會引起襯套發生變形。一般而言,當鋸片試圖圍繞著掣爪 旋轉的時候,鋸片安裝孔的邊緣將會咬入襯套。因此,假 如,掣爪是被安裝在鋸片的背後(如圖18所示)’然後 ,當掣爪啣接鋸片的時候,該鋸片將傾向於向下移動進入 到襯套裏,並離開使用者。由於這種效應,因此,假如樞 轉軸銷如上所述被移到鋸子背後的時候’―般多希望將掣 爪安裝在擺動臂上面。 68 (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 訂- ;線_ 經濱部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製

另一個替代性之具體實施例裏,一部份或全部的安全止動 機構3 0被設置在一個能夠很容易地被更換的掣動盒或掣 動模組裏面。圖1 9以上述之圖1 8的桌鋸爲例顯示一個 盒式安全止動機構的例子。掣動盒2 4 6 —般包括一個框 架或殼體2 4 8,該殼體2 4 8係可附著到一個靠近錯片 6 4的支撐物表面像是安裝托架2 2 8上面。掣動盒2 4 6可以利用任何適當的機構,包括螺栓2 5 0,將它固定 到支撐物表面上。另一個替代的方式或是另加的方式是, 該擊動盒可以在架構上被設計成能夠被裝配在安裝托架上 的一個插座或其它適當的容器裏。較佳的是,該掣動盒具 有一個不對稱的形狀,以致於它只能夠在正確的方位上被 固定到支撐物表面上。在圖1 9的範例型之具體實施例裏 ,該安裝托架包括有一個肩形凸出物2 5 2,該肩形凸出 物2 5 2對應於殼體2 4 8裏的一個斜面2 5 4,以便除 非斜面對齊該肩形凸出物,否則無法將掣動盒裝入。可從 本說明中理解到:在本發明的範圍以內,有許多其它的方 法可以保證掣動盒達到正確的方位。 掣動盒2 4 6也包括有一個電氣連接器2 5 6,該電 氣連接器2 5 6在架構上被設計成可以操作自如地嚼合一 個附著於電纜線2 6 〇的栓塞2 5 8。該電纜線包括有用 69 --------訂---------線 (諳先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁)

6〇在圖中是顯示爲可以自由地移動,將可從本說明中暸 解:栓塞2 5 8可以被牢固地安裝在支撐物表面。更進一 步地說,栓塞2 5 8可以被牢固地擺放在能夠在將連接器 嚙合栓塞的時候確保掣動盒適當地對齊且有正確方位的位 置上。作爲更進一步的安全措施--該措施將在以下作進 一步的討論,電子裝置單元可以在架構上被設計成能夠提 供一個啓動信號給鋸子的動力源,因而,可以防止鋸子在 未適當完成安裝掣動盒的情況下被使用。 殻體2 4 8包括有一個開孔2 6 2,當掣爪被釋放開 的時候,該掣爪可以穿過該開孔2 6 2突出到外面。另一 替代的方式是,掣爪能夠被製作成在被使用前是與殼體2 4 8表面齊平。在任何情況之下,該掣爪是藉由帶肩螺栓 1 4 2可樞轉自如地連接到殼體2 4 8,以便一旦偵測到 使用者的身體與鋸片相接觸的時候,讓該掣爪移向鋸片, 並與鋸片相嚙合。帶肩螺栓1 4 2可以安裝在殼體2 4 8 上,或是可被安裝支撐物表面而延伸穿過殼體和掣爪上面 的開孔。以金屬箔2 2 9等材料覆蓋在掣爪和開口上以防 止污染或掣爪意外地突伸的方式也是有用的。 一般而言,掣動盒2 4 6在架構上是被設計成可以讓 掣爪與鋸片之間的間隔能夠依照實際的需要作調整。例如 70 Γ—'--------訂---------線-----_ (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁)

’然而,一個設有第二類不同掣爪之掣動盒可以被用在— 個第二不同的鋸片上。另一個替代的方式是,一個掣動盒 的電子裝置可以是不同於另一個掣動盒的電子裝置’以便 適用於不同的用途(譬如,切削塑膠而不是木料)。另外 ,同時使用複數個掣動盒以確保該安全止動機構能夠對每 一種材料有最適當的反應,這也是包括在本發明的範圍以 內。 現在轉到圖20和圖21,在這些圖中顯示一個範例 型之斜切鋸2 7 0

面上。該殻體可以包括一個活動鑲板或活動門2 7 7,以 便讓人員可以接近該掣動盒。一個剎車掣爪1 4 〇是被安 裝在擊動盒內部’並且可被置於鋸片前面。充電板6 2和 6 6是藉由一個或多個安裝座2 8 2被連接到殼體2 7 6 的內壁’這些安裝座2 8 2係藉由任何適當的機構像是螺 检2 8 4等附著在殼體上,並且在架構上係被設計成能使 充電板平行並且緊密鄰接鋸片6 4。如圖2 1所示,在充 電板和鋸片之間的間隔是較佳地明顯少於充電板和殻體之 間的間隔’以便使在充電板和殼體之間的任何寄生電容量 減少到最小的程度。另一個替代的方式是,該殼體可以由 電氣絕緣材料製成。 帶有屏蔽作用之電纜線6 0和9 0連接這些充電板到 73 +飒又週币r ®國豕標準(CNS)A4規格(21〇 χ 297公釐 二--------訂---------線--r (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本I) A7 4 5

掣爪嚙合一個圓形鋸片像是前述在斜切鋸2 7 0所發現的 一般並在數毫秒內將鋸片停止下來的時候,角動量必須被 傳遞到刹車裏。因爲斜切鋸的擺動臂是自由地沿著鋸片旋 轉的方向樞轉,當鋸片被突然地停住的時候,該鋸片的角 動量可以被傳送到擺動臂裏,引起該擺動臂向下擺動。擺 動臂的這種突然而有力的向下移動之動作若是使用者的身 體有一部份在鋸片的下方的時候,可能造成對使用者的傷 害。因此,斜切鋸的安全止動機構3 0之一個替代的具體 實施例也包括有用於防止當鋸片被停住的時候該擺動臂向 下移動的機構。另外’掣爪一般是被安裝在斜切鋸的前面 ,以便在鋸片與掣爪相嚙合的時候,驅策該鋸片向上爬升 離開使用者(也就是:使塑膠襯套變形)。 將可由本說明中瞭解:有許多適當的機構,可用來防 止擺動臂突然向下的移動動作。例如,在擺動臂和斜切鋸 之底座之間的樞轉連接可以由電氣機構來扣鎖。譬如是, 使用一種電磁鐵之板狀彈簧,以防止擺動臂樞轉。這個用 來扣鎖住該接合處之信號可以由該偵測系統來提供。另一 74 本紙張尺度遶用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公楚) • · 』 一 二--------訂---------線--Γ.ί {請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 A7 A7 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 _____B7__ 五、發明說明(ji) 替代之方式是,在該擺動臂和底座之間可以連接以一個減 振器,以便限制在偵測得知鋸片和使用者接觸的時刻和鋸 片受到掣爪阻止而停下來的時刻在這個兩個時刻期間鋸片 能夠移動多遠的距離。雖然,有許多其它的方法連接該擺 動臂到底座以防止擺動臂向底座方向的突然移動,此類設 計大多數將角動量轉移到擺動臂/底座組合件。視鋸切機 的重量和平衡而定,該角動量可能是足以引起整個鋸切機 傾倒。因此,有需要將該底座以固定夾、螺栓等將它固定 到一個穩固的表面上。 另一個替代方式是:斜切鋸在架構上被設計成能夠吸 收任何角動量而不讓擺動臂向下移動。例如,圖2 〇和圖 21所示的範例型之具體實施例在架構上具有一個樞轉馬 達組合件,以容許鋸片在一旦與掣爪相嚙合後向上移動進 入到殼體裏。馬達組合件1 2是經由樞轉螺栓2 8 6被連 接到殼體2 7 6,可容許該馬達組合件1 2沿著鋸片旋轉 方向圍繞著螺栓2 8 6樞轉。一個彈簧2 9 2是被壓縮在 殻體和固定座2 9 4之間以便逆向著鋸片旋轉方向施加偏 壓作用力到該馬達組合件。該馬達組合件1 2也包括有一 個凸出部2 9 6,該凸出部2 9 6滑抵著殼體上的凸緣2 9 8以便將馬達組合件1 2的端部保持在抵靠著殼體上的 樞轉螺栓的位置。 當鋸切機在使用時,彈簧2 9 2將馬達組合件旋轉保 持在一個完全逆向於鋸片旋轉方向的正常位置上。然而, 一旦該掣爪被釋放開以嚙合鋸片的時候,該馬達組合件和 75 本纸張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) \J.. -------------.k--------訂--------- (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 A7 r — _ B7 五、發明說明n) 鋸片即逆向於彈簧的偏壓方向而向上樞轉。在這個具體實 施例裏,掣爪被置於鋸片的前方,以致於樞轉螺栓2 8 6 是介於掣爪和心軸之間。這樣的安排促使鋸片當被阻擋的 時候,向上移動進入到殼體內部。彈簧是經選擇具有足夠 的強度以便在切穿一工件的時候將馬達組合件1 2保持在 下方位置,但它又有足夠的可壓縮性,以容許當鋸片被阻 擋的時候,館片和馬達組合件能夠向上移動。 雖然,以上已經藉由一個斜切鋸作例子說明一個安全 止動機構3 0的範例型實施方法,然而,本發明不應被視 爲局限於任何一個特定的實施方法,因爲安全止動機構3 0的架構和設計明顯地可以依照鋸切機的種類和用途而變 化。例如,對於樞轉馬達組合件架構也可以被結合到上述 的一個或多個其它防止擺動臂突然朝向底座樞轉的系統內 。更進一步地’將可從本說明中明白:鋸片和馬達組合件 可以在架構上以種種方法設計成至少部份地吸收掉鋸片的 角動量。 圖2 2顯不斜切鋸2 7 0的一個替代架構,該斜切鋸 2 7 0被設計成適於吸收鋸片的角動量。在這個具體實施 例裏,斜切据2 7 0包括兩個擺動臂2 7 5和2 7 4。每 一個擺動臂2 7 5、2 7 4的一端3 0 〇被連接到底座2 7 2,而擺動臂的另一個相反端3 0 2被連接到殻體2 7 6、鋸片6

五、發明說明 2略低於擺動臂2 7 4。一般來說’馬達組合件是牢固地 附著到擺動臂2 7 5的端部3 0 2,然而’殼體2 7 Θ是 被連接到可圍繞著擺動臂2 7 5的端部3 0 2旋轉。擺動 臂2 7 4的端部3 0 2只連接到殼體。這樣的安排使得馬 達組合件和觸發器的動作與許多傳統的斜切鋸裏的動作相 同。另一替代的方式是’該馬達組合件可以被連接以隨者 殼體圍繞著擺動臂2 7 5的端部3 0 2旋轉。 圖2 2裏顯示的架構會引起殼體和/或馬達組合件在 擺動臂樞轉的時候一同旋轉。明顯地’當擺動臂向上移動 的時候,殼體和/或馬達組合件沿著與鋸片在切削的時候 之旋轉方向作相同方向的旋轉°結果’當掣爪嚙合鋸片並 傳遞鋸片的角動量到殻體和/或馬達組合件的時候’該殼 體和/或馬達組合件傾向於沿著與鋸片相同的方向旋轉。 這引起這些擺動臂向上樞轉,拖曳該鋸片離開工件和使用 者的身體。因此,如同以上的說明’圖2 2裏的斜切鋸架 構是適於吸收鋸片的角動量,並將角動量轉換成作用在擺 動臂上的一個向上作用力。 以上所說明的圖2 2之架構說明了安全止動機構3 0 的一個更進一步的替代性具體實施例。明確地說,該安全 止動機構3 0可以在架構上被設計成當偵測出切削工具的 鋸片碰觸到使用者的身體的時候,安全止動機構除了停止 該鋸片之外也能夠快速地移動切削工具的鋸片離開J吏用者 ,或是不使鋸片停止而是令鋸片快速離開使用者身體。這 種替代性之具體實施例可以使用在此處說明的任何切削工 ΊΊ -V--------訂---------線---- (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) A7 458862 B7___ 五、發明說明Γ) 具之中。譬如,圖1 8裏的桌鋸之擺動臂2 2 0可以被設 計成當偵測出接觸發生的時候,它能夠脫離蝸輪2 2 4, 並且向下樞轉以拉動該鋸片到鋸切機的上表面。一個彈簧 (圖中未顯示出來)可以被結合到該擺動臂,以增加它向 下掉落的速度。從本說明中將可瞭解到:相似的實施方式 可以使用在此處所描述之所有銅子裏。在這個斜切鋸的案 例裏,先前所討論的電磁板狀剎車可被用來在碰觸到使用 者的時候阻止擺動臂的移動°另外’該釋放系統可以被使 用來在鋸片和使甩者發生接觸的時候釋放出彈簧以便向上 推動擺動臂。在使用這樣的系統的情形之下,可以無需突 然地停止鋸片以避免傷害。 圖2 3係藉由旋臂鋸3 1 0說明安全止動機構3 0的 一個範例型之實施方法。一般來說1旋臂鋸3 1 0包括有 一個水平底座3 1 2、一個從水平底座3 1 2向上延伸的 垂直支柱3 1 4、和一個從垂直支柱3 1 4延伸出來且與 水平底座3 1 2垂直分隔開的導引臂3

0在架構上被設計成能夠在鋸片和使用者身 體發生接觸的時候,嚙合鋸片6 4,並令其停止。雖然, 圖中顯示該掣爪係被安裝在靠近鋸片的後側,但也可以替 代以將掣爪裝設在鋸片的前方或任何其它所希望的位置。 應注意到:如先前的說明,假如該鋸片是以一個可變形襯 套將該鋸片與心軸隔離開,那麼,若該掣爪嚙合住鋸片的 前端,該鋸片將很容易向上移動進入到殼體內。 滑座3 1 8—般是被裝設在導引臂3 1 6上,以防止 托架相對於該導引臂3 1 6樞轉。因此,鋸片角動量的轉 移進入到殼體和導引臂通常不會引起該導引臂在剎車時向 使用者的身體方向移動。然而,當一個接觸被偵測得知的 時候,因爲使用者可能正在朝向他們自身的方向拉動該鋸 子,在安全止動機構3 0即使已經停止該鋸片之後,鋸子 仍然可能繼續地朝向使用者移動。這個繼續移動的動作可 能使得已被停止的鋸片被拖拉橫過使用者的部份身體(譬 如是:使用者的手),而導致更進一步地傷害。因此,希 望能夠得到一種額外的剎車系統,以便在一旦偵知鋸片和 使用者身體發生接觸的時候能夠停止滑座和鋸子沿著導弓丨 臂的移動。這種刹車系統也能夠被使用作爲停止鋸片的另 一個替代裝置,特別是當該刹車系統被設計成被觸動時係 拖拉滑座,使其向後退離開使用者 > 這樣的設計可被用來 取代原有刹車系統。 將可由本說明中瞭解:有許多不同的方法可用來停止 79

候,安全止動機構3 0送出一個致動信號給致動器3 3 0 。被送至致動器的致動信號可以是與啓動點火系統115 之信號相同一個信號,或者也可以是不同的一個信號。無 論在什麼情況之下,在收到該致動信號的時候,該致動器 驅動掣爪3 2 8,使它樞轉進入到導引臂裏,防止該導引 滑座更進一步地沿著導引臂向前移動。該掣爪可以由一個 具有高摩擦性材料像是橡膠等製作成的,或是在其表面上 覆蓋以此類的材料,以及/或者可以在形狀架構上利用輪 齒等結構增加它的刹車作用。 圖2 3所示的另一範例型之刹車架構包括一個可鎖定 捲筒組合件3 3 2。該可鎖定捲筒組合件3 3 2可以被用 來取代楔形機構組合件3 2 4或是在楔形機構組合件3 2 4之外另行添加此一捲筒組合件3 3 2。無論在什麼情況 下,該可鎖定捲筒組合件3 3 2包括有一個安裝在垂直支 柱3 1 4上的彈簧作動捲筒3 3

的一個穩定的路徑上。工作被放置在工作檯3 6 0上朝向 鋸片通過切割區,該工作檯3 6 0形成切割區的底部。 鋸片應該與經常是接地的主殼體之間形成電氣上的絕 綠。因此,館條導引組合件3 5 6和3 5 8--這些据條 導引組合件能夠包括有滾珠軸承導引裝置和摩擦襯墊等--在結構上是將鋸片與主殼體之間作電氣上的隔離。另外 ,在轉輪3 5 4上面的高摩擦被覆層將鋸片與轉輪3 5 4 作電氣上的絕緣隔離。另一替代方式是,這些轉輪可以由 非導電材料製成。 充電板6 2和6 6可以依照許多不同的方式來佈置, 將視其用途和主殼體空間上的限制而定。兩個可能的安排 方式是說明於圖2 5之中。在這第一個方式裏,充電板6 2和6 6是緊靠著跨騎在兩轉輪3 5 4其中之一上面的鋸 片設置。充電板可以被製作成弧彤以配合轉輪的周緣,並 且兩充電板與鋸片之間維持一個固定大小的間隔。這種安

剎車系統可以包括一個樞轉掣爪,該樞轉掣爪能迴旋 並依上述之方式嚙接其中一片刀葉。掣爪在結構上被製作 成與刀頭的圓柱體有相同的寬度,以便嚙合刀葉的整個長 度’而不只是較小部份長度的刀葉。一般來說,在刀葉還 沒有撞撃到掣爪以前’掣爪將不會停止刀頭的旋轉,因爲 刀頭的表面是較爲滑的。掣爪在形狀上可以被設計成能夠 延伸進入到帶著刀葉的刀頭上的溝槽裏,以便確保掣爪除 了刀葉以外,也能夠嚙合刀頭本身。 除了剛才說明的樞轉掣爪系統以外,圖2 8顯示另一 個可取代先前說明之掣爪的掣爪架構,該架構包括有—個 被支撐在滑塊5 2 2上的平板5 2 0,該滑塊5 2 2係設 置在出料檯5 1 0的下方。當平板5 2 0被滑入到與刀頭 5 ◦ 2相接觸的時候,平板5 2 0即嚙接下一個通過的刀 葉,而停止住刀頭的轉動。平板5 2 0可以由任何能夠停 止刀頭的適當材料製成,這些材料包括:金屬、塑膠等等

Description of the invention (0) Low voltage supply source V and ground. A 0 · 1 microfarad capacitor 430 stabilizes the output of this reference voltage. As before — this reference voltage is used to adjust the trigger point. The output of the second comparator 4 2 0 is connected to the base terminal of a η π η bipolar junction transistor 4 3 1 which is, for example, a 2 N 3 9 0 4 transistor. The base of the transistor 4 3 1 is also connected to a low voltage supply source V ′ via a 100 ohm resistor 4 3 2 and to a grounded ground via a 2 2 pico farad capacitor 4 3 4 . The potentiometer 4 3 2 is adjusted so that the voltage at the positive terminal of the second comparator 4 2 0 is slightly lower than the peak value of the signal received at the negative terminal of the second comparator when there is no contact between the saw blade and the user's body. . Therefore, each high cycle of the signal causes the output of the second comparator 4 2 0 to be a low potential, thereby causing the 2 2 picofarad capacitor 4 3 4 to discharge. As long as no contact occurs between the saw blade and the user's body, the output of the second comparator 4 2 0 continues to remain low, preventing the capacitor 4 3 4 from charging through the resistor 4 3 2 to charge the η ρ η bipolar junction The transistor 4 3 1 is turned on. However, when the user's body touches the saw blade, the signal received at the negative terminal of the second comparator 4 2 0 remains below the reference voltage at the positive terminal, while the signal of the second comparator 4 2 0 The output remains high. As a result, the capacitor 4 3 4 can be charged through the resistor 4 3 2 and the transistor 4 3 1 is turned on. The collector terminal of the transistor 4 3 1 is connected to the low voltage supply source V, however, its emitter terminal is connected to a 680 ohm resistor 4 3 6. When the transistor 4 3 1 is turned on, it supplies an output signal of about 40 milliamps through the resistor 4 3 6 and the output signal is sent to the alternative 46.

The gate end of the silicon controlled rectifier Is connected to resistor 4 3 6. So 'when transistor 4 3 1 is turned on', a current of about 40 mA is passed through resistor 4 3 6 to activate the silicon controlled rectifier 4 3 8 'tolerate this high voltage The supply source ΗV is discharged through the fusible element 1 2 2 to ground. Once the silicon controllable rectifier is switched on, as long as the current through the fusible element 1 2 2 is maintained above a holding current of about 40 milliamps or more , Even if the current to the gate extreme disappears, it will still It will continue to work, so 'the silicon controlled rectifier will direct current through the fusible element until the fusible element is melted or the high voltage source disappears. Figure 6 also illustrates an exemplary electrical supply system 4 4 0' The The electrical supply system 4 4 0 is architecturally designed to provide low voltage supply source V and high voltage supply source 标准 V from a standard 120 VAC voltage line. The electrical supply system 4 4 0 is connected A low-voltage supply source V and a high-voltage supply source Η V are provided for the alternative first electrical system 38, the alternative second electrical system 88, and the alternative ignition system 115.

The positive and negative ends of Invention Note 6 are used as High voltage supply source ΗV connected to the fusible element 1 2 2. When the contact between the saw blade and the user's body is detected and the silicon controlled rectifier 4 3 8 is turned on, it is stored in the capacitor 4 4 6 Is discharged through the fusible member 1 2 2 'until the fusible member 1 2 2 is melted. It can be understood from this description that the size of the capacitor 4 4 6 can be changed according to actual needs to supply the amount of current necessary to fuse the fusible member 1 2 2. It should be noted from this description that the use of a high voltage HV capacitor results in a much larger current surge, and thus it is possible to melt the fusible member faster than can be achieved with a low voltage system. The positive terminal of capacitor 4 4 6 also provides a voltage source with fewer transformers as a low voltage supply source V. The low voltage supply V includes a positive terminal connected to capacitor 4 4 6 and a negative 40 volt. 1 2 ohm resistors 4 4 8 between nano diodes 4 5 0. The purpose of the diode 450 is to maintain a relatively fixed potential of 40 volts at the junction between the diode and the resistor 44.8. It will be clear from this description that the current through this 12 ohm resistor will be about 10 milliamps. Most of this current is used by the low voltage circuit, which has a relatively fixed current requirement of about 8 milliamps. It should be noted that: Although the resistor 4 48 and the diode 4 50 release some current from the capacitor 4 46, the voltage supply line continues to recharge the capacitor to maintain a high voltage supply.

The aforementioned low-voltage supply source is advantageous because of its low cost and simple structure. "Line. It should be noted that when the high voltage supply source Η V is discharged through the fusible element 1 2 2, the input voltage connected to the adjustable voltage regulator 4 5 4 may temporarily drop below 30 volts. In the following, therefore, a corresponding drop in the low-voltage supply source V is caused. However, because the braking system has been triggered, for the detection system, it no longer needs to continue to function as before, and any in the low-voltage supply source The drop in V will not harm the function of the safety stop mechanism 30.

Description of the invention (¢ ^)) Current supplied Concentrated on a very small area of the fusible element 1 2 2. The alternative brake system 34 includes a brake pawl 1 40, which is set in a position that can be set to the spring 1 3 0 Driven by the saw blade 64, the spring 130 is squeezed between the pawl and a spring block 470. The pawl is pushed against the brake by the fusible member 1 2 2 The force of the spring 130 is kept slightly apart from the saw blade. The fusible member 12 is attached to the pawl, for example, it is wound around a hook provided on the pawl 4 7 2. On the other way, the fusible member can be fixed to the pawl by a screw or other disclosed mechanism. The fusible member 1 2 2 is also wound around a high-voltage contact post 4 7 4 And a discharge contact around the pole 4 7 6. This high voltage contact pole 4 7 4 is connected to the electrical supply The high voltage supply source Η V of system 4 4 0, however, the discharge contact post 4 7 6 is a silicon controlled rectifier 4 3 8 which is connected to an alternative ignition system 1 1 5. When the silicon controlled rectifier 4 When 38 is turned on, the charge supplied by the high-voltage supply source ΗV is mainly discharged through a small fusible member 4 7 8 between the posts 4 7 4 and 4 7 6. This is used as a concentrated discharge current to A relatively small portion of the fusible member 1 2 2 ensures that the fusible member can be completely and quickly melted with less stored charge. Generally speaking, it is hoped that the fusible member 4 7 8 can be exhausted. Possibly short in order to minimize the length of fuses that need to be heated. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the high-voltage contact post 4 7 4 and the discharge contact post 4 7 6 can be architecturally designed as the opposite side of a single structure and an insulating layer 4 7 9 is set at 50- ----------- c -------- Order --------- line 丨 丨 ----------------- ----- {Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) A7 458862 ______B7__ 5.

Once the fusible member 1 2 2 is melted, the brake spring generally presses the pawl into engagement with the saw blade as described above. . Although the alternative design of the braking system 34 has been described above in conjunction with the alternative ignition system 115, it can be understood from the present invention that the alternative braking system 34 can also be combined with the ignition system 1 15 shown in FIG. Specific embodiments are used together. In this case, the high-voltage contact post 4 7 4 will be connected to the emitter of the transistor 1 1 8, however, the discharge contact post 4 7 6 will be connected to the ground ground. -Line. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs because the contact detection system 3 2 and the brake system 34 are architecturally designed to stop the cutting tool 14 when it comes into contact with the user's body, It is also desirable to be able to stop the motor assembly 12 to prevent damage to the motor as the motor attempts to drive the cutting tool. However, because the machine 10 is generally designed to stop when the cutting tool is bitten or for other reasons, etc., it is often sufficient if the motor assembly can be shut down within a few seconds. This can be achieved by turning off the power to the motor. Therefore, in an alternative specific embodiment, the brake start is sent from the second electrical system 88 is also used to activate a normally closed switching relay in the wire circuit of the electromagnetic contactor 16 (not shown in the figure). show). Similar to pressing the stop switch 2o, although the pendant switch is relayed: when actuated, the power is cut off from the magnetic contactor line ,, so the motor is also cut off. It will be understood from this description that there are many other methods that can be used to close the motor assembly. These methods are all within the scope of the present invention. As an illustrative example 51 This paper size: National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 458862 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 ________B7 V. Description of the invention) Electricity can be directly controlled by the safety stop mechanism 30 (for example, through solid-state on-off switches, etc.). At the same time, it is only necessary to disengage the existing overload circuit to shut down the stopped motor. Because the detection circuit described above relies on certain electrical characteristics of the human body. 'When cutting certain materials, such as metal foil-clad insulation,' using the safety stop mechanism 30 may cause the detection circuit to incorrectly record the tool and User exposure. Therefore, it would be desirable to have a function interruption control to prevent the brake from operating during a particular cutting operation. An appropriate functional interruption control may include a mechanical switch provided between the fusible member 12 and the ignition system 115. Alternatively, the switch may be a single-use switch whose architecture is such that it must reset itself after each use. As another alternative, the safety stop mechanism 30 may be provided with a sensor near the workpiece to detect the presence of a metal foil or the like, and interrupt the function of the brake system. This—the latter alternative eliminates the need for the user to remember to interrupt and resume the functioning of the brake system. As an alternative to stopping the function of the safety stop mechanism 30, the contact detection system can be architecturally designed to distinguish metal from the user's body. For example, when the user's body comes into contact with the data sheet, the input signal received by the second electrical system 88 is attenuated, but not grounded. However, if a metal workpiece (the workpiece is in contact with a grounded machine frame) comes into contact with the saw blade, the input signal coupled to the saw blade will be released to the ground, so that the second electrical system 88 will be completely No signal will be received. Therefore, the second electrical system 8 8 can be used in the framework of 52 paper standards applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 mm)-·).

A7 ____ B7 5. The invention description is designed to only receive a signal that is attenuated and the signal has a lower threshold than previously set. When a spike 一个 is higher than a second critical 値, a start signal is output to the ignition system 1 1 5. It should be understood from this description that in a commercialized embodiment of the present invention, many electronic functions can be incorporated into a dedicated integrated circuit (A S I C). In addition, at least some or all of the electronic components can be powered by a battery, rather than being supplied by a power supply to a machine. However, the electric charge required to melt the fusible member 1 2 2 will preferably be supplied by a current line to retain the power of the battery and because of the higher voltage available. You may also want to have a logical control system. The system is designed in architecture: when the machine is turned on or off and in use, many self-tests and other security checks can be made to ensure that the safety stop The mechanism 30 is operating normally, and a logic control system that prevents accidental triggering of the braking system β and the like can be done in any desired test sequence using many methods. FIG. 9 illustrates a flowchart of an exemplary logic sequence. The example sequence begins when the user initially supplies power to the system. This step is identified by 600. Next, the logic system is represented by 602 as shown in the figure: first check to determine whether the interval between the saw blade and the charging board is correct. The interval between the saw blade and the charging plate can be measured using any suitable mechanism, such as the one described in more detail below. If the interval exceeds the acceptable limit, the system responds with an error signal. This step is shown in the flowchart as 604. This error signal can be an audible and / or visible signal, etc. Preferably, the logic system stays in an error state 53 \ / /.

Description of the invention (ϋ), and prevent further operation of the machine until the correct one is detected The interval between the saw blade and the charging board. If the interval between the saw blade and the charging board is acceptable, the logic system determines whether the first electrical system has detected an appropriate (ie, unattenuated) input signal from the first electrical system. In the flowchart, this The steps are labeled 6 06. This step ensures that the brake will not be accidentally triggered when the machine starts due to one of the first and / or second electrical systems, a grounded saw blade, incorrect placement of the charging board, etc. If the proper input signal is not detected, the system responds with an error signal 604, which can be a siren in the form of a flasher or a similar indicator. It will be understood that each error condition can be expressed using the same error signal or a different error signal. If an appropriate input signal is detected, the system begins to determine whether there is a fusible element. This is marked as step 608 in the flowchart. The presence or absence of a fusible member can be determined by any suitable method. These methods include measuring the electrical conductivity between the high voltage contact post 4 7 4 and the discharge contact post 4 7 6. If no fusible element is present, the system responds with an error signal 604. The system then checks the amount of charge stored in the charge storage device 'as in step 6 1 2 of the flow chart. This step ensures that if a contact is detected, there is sufficient charge to melt the fusible element. If not enough charge is detected, the logic system responds with an error signal to inform that there is not enough charge detected in a predetermined time.

Description of the invention d) The system allows electricity to be sent to the motor assembly 1 2 as Step 6 1 4 in the figure. It will be understood from this description that if no fault is detected, the above electrical sequence is generally completed in less than one second. In addition, additional inspection steps can be taken before the motor assembly is activated. In addition to a preliminary start-up power sequence, the logic system can also be architecturally designed to perform many checks during operation. For example, the rotation of the saw blade can be monitored by a well-known mechanism, and the ignition system can temporarily interrupt its function when the saw blade is not moving. This allows the user to touch the saw blade when it is stopped without engaging the pawl with the saw blade. Some embodiments may be architecturally designed to ensure that the safety stop mechanism will continue to function even if the power to the machine is turned off and if the saw blade continues to rotate. As an illustrative example: If an error other than contact detection occurs, such as: the incorrect interval between the plate and the charging plate, insufficient charge on the charge storage device, etc., the lead to the motor assembly Power can be cut off. It will be clear from this description: a logic control system can be implemented to provide many different safety and / or operational functions as desired. In addition to the spring and fusible member systems described above, other systems can be used to move the pawl into contact with the saw blade. For example, as shown in Figure 10, a relatively small explosive charge 150, which is in the form of an explosive tube or explosive device, can be used to drive the pawl against the data piece. An example of a suitable explosive charge is an M-1000 explosive device available from Stresau Laboratory, Inc. of Spooner, Wisconsin. 55, ------- I order ---------- line (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (21〇 χ 297 mm) 45 88 6 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V. Description of Invention (夂)) An exemplary embodiment of an explosive charge actuation system is illustrated in FIG. 10. Although any suitable explosive charge system can be used, however, this exemplary embodiment preferably uses an independent self-contained charge or explosive tube 150 to increase safety and focus the explosion The force is in the direction in which the pawl moves. A trigger lead 1 6 4 extends from the charge to trigger an explosion. By inserting the explosive charge 150 between the pawl and a fixing block 166 adjacent to the charge, the explosive charge 150 can be used to move the pawl 140. When the charge exploded, the pawl was pushed away from the fixed block. A compression spring 130 is placed between the fixing block and the pawl to ensure that the pawl does not spring back from the blade when the charge is detonated. Prior to detonation, the pawl is held away from the saw blade, and the charge is placed in the fixed block and pawl by friction fit. However, the force produced by the charge explosion is far more than the force required to overcome this friction fit < The other way is that the pawl can be fixed away from the saw blade by other mechanisms, such as: a fragile member, gravity, a spring between the pawl and a fixed block (not shown in the figure) and many more. It will be clear from this description that the position of the charge relative to the pivot bolt 1 4 2 will determine the distance the other end of the pawl moves. The closer the charge is to the other end of the pivot bolt 1 4 2 ′, the farther it moves. However, when the charge is moved closer to the bolt, as the moment arm becomes smaller, the amount of force required to move the pawl will increase. Therefore, for a specific amount of explosive force, the pawl may move more slowly. Furthermore, it will be understood from this description that there are many other methods besides the specific embodiments of springs and explosive charges described above. 56 This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 grid (210 X 297 public love) -------- Order --------- line (please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 45δδ6 £ Α7- ----------- Β7 ____ 5. Description of the Invention (Jrf) can be used to bring the pawl into contact with the cutting tool. For example, a DC solenoid valve can be overspeeded by a current surge to produce a rapid movement. Alternatively, a pressurized air cylinder can also be used to supply pressure ' instead of a brake spring or charge. The pawl can be used as an alternative. The pawl can be supported on an electromagnet that is actuated by an ignition system to repel the pawl against the top saw blade or release the spring action The pawl is pressed onto the saw blade. Now to focus the discussion in more depth on the pawl, it can be buried in this description: the pawl can be made from one or more of many materials. Examples of suitable materials include plastics like polycarbonate , Rubber, wood, etc. 'or even soft metals like lead or aluminum. Although it is not absolutely necessary, it is generally hoped that the pawl has sufficient strength so that the saw blade cannot be easily cut through, but it needs to have sufficient softness so as to be able to absorb a part of the saw blade caused by sudden stop Impact force. After the brake has been triggered, the fuse needs to be replaced normally, and the pawl may also need to be replaced. The blade may also be damaged depending on how fast it stops it, or at least the pawl that engages the blade needs to be removed. Indeed, in an alternative embodiment of the brake system, the pawl is interrupted by a saw blade having a sufficiently strong and hard material, rather than blocking the saw blade from moving. The brake pawl 140 can also be architecturally designed to have a narrow contact surface that engages a large portion of the saw blade. Examples of this alternative architecture are schematically illustrated in Figures 11 to 13. As can be seen from these figures, the brake pawl 14 0 is mounted on a pair of pivot arms 14 1. These two pivot arms 1 4 1 can have the same or 57 papers that are again applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 x 297 mm) \ / -------- Order ----- ---- Line (Please read the notes on the back before filling in the form page) A7 45 8862 _ — _ B7 _ V. Description of the invention (jrp different lengths and can be installed on a pivot table (not shown in the figure) ), And the pivot table can be on the outside or inside of the saw blade. An advantage of the pawl with a narrow contact surface is that the force exerted by the pawl is distributed to a very large portion of the saw blade. In most cases, this allows the saw blade to be blocked more quickly. Longer contact surfaces can also be used to reduce the chance of damage to the saw blade because the braking force is distributed to more Although the above specific exemplary embodiments are described with a single brake pawl engaged with the saw blade teeth, the brake system may also include two One or more parts engage the pawl to reduce the stopping time of the saw blade Intermittent or extended blocking force. The present invention can also use claws that contact the opposite sides of the saw blade. Figure 14 illustrates an exemplary embodiment using two claw clamps to hold the opposite side of the saw blade. As shown in the figure, the brake pawls 140 are pivotably mounted on both sides of the saw blade 64. Each pawl includes a contact head 1 7 0 close to the saw blade, and a contact head 1 7 0 Lever arm 1 7 2 in the opposite direction. The two pawls are pivotably mounted on a pin 1 7 4 which passes through the contact head 1 7 0 and the lever arm on the pawl. 1 7 2 pivot hole. Therefore, when the lever arm 1 2 of each pawl is rotated upward (as shown in FIG. 14), the two contact heads 17 0 are close to each other. These pawls are It is installed in a position relative to the saw blade, so that the contact head 170 rotates toward the saw blade in the direction of the moving stroke of the saw blade. Once these claws contact and hold the saw blade, they are The moving movement is pulled downwards and continues to pivot inward.

Invention Explanation (κί) The iy clamp is tightened between the contact surfaces of these pawls until the pawls can no longer be moved closer. At this time, the saw blade is clamped between these pawls and Stop it. In order to ensure that the two pawls fit against the saw blade and are brought together, a link 1 7 6 is provided at both ends of which is connected to a lever arm 1 2 7. The central portion of the connecting rod 176 extends beyond the saw blade and rests on the end of the brake spring 130. As discussed above, the brake spring 1 3 is bent and fixed by the fusible member 1 2 2, and the fusible member 1 2 2 is connected to the contact post 1 3 6. The interval between the rain pawl contact head and the saw blade is controlled by adjusting the position of the spring. When the fusible member 1 2 2 is melted, the spring drives the link 17 6 to move upward. If 'only one pawl contacts the pin first, the upward movement of the link is transmitted to the other pawl until the other pawl also touches the saw blade. It will be clear from this description that the above dual claw system can make many changes to its actual implementation within the scope of the present invention. For example, the link can be driven upward by any one of the aforementioned actuating mechanisms, which include explosive charges, solenoid valves, compressed air, and the like. As a description of another specific embodiment ', one or more pawls may be provided only at one side of the pavilion. Alternatively, the link can be omitted 'and each pawl is actuated by an independent spring, explosive charge, solenoid valve, and the like. In order to increase the gripping action of the pawl on the saw blade, the contact surface of the pawl may be covered with a relatively high coefficient of friction material, such as rubber.

The description of the invention (| / j) is' These claws can be made of a harder material than the saw blade, and let the claws Has a ridged surface so that it can be shown as shown. Normally bites into the saw blade. Another way is, or an additional method is, the saw blade can be provided with a grip structure in the shape of the structure, such as a high friction coefficient material coating, grooves, dents, holes, protrusions, etc. To further enhance the gripping action of the pawl. As previously mentioned, it is often desirable to be able to place the pawl closer to the saw blade to reduce the time required to move the pawl into contact with the saw blade. Although the optimal separation distance between the pawl and the blade may vary depending on the shape of the particular cutting tool, detection system, and / or brake system, it has been found that between the pawl and the blade A spatial distance of about 1/3 2 inches to 1/4 inches can provide a suitable effect in the above-described embodiment of the spring action. However, as is well known in this technical field, cutting tools such as saw blades and the like do not have exactly the same size. For example, for a nominal diameter of 10 inches and 0.  12 5 inch circular saw blades of nominal thickness, actual saw blades from different manufacturers or for different purposes may have a range of # # 9.  5 inches to 10.  Diameters between 5 inches, and thicknesses ranging from ON0 75 inches to 0.15 inches. Therefore, in order to ensure a consistent braking speed ', it is necessary to adjust the position of the pawl every time the blade is changed. The braking system 34 can optionally use an automatic mechanism and / or a self-contained mechanism to ensure that the distance between the pawl and the cutting tool is within an acceptable range.

In addition, the pawl 18 0 includes a pair of substantially parallel and spaced apart parallel arms 1 8 4, and the parallel arms 1 8 4 extend beyond the inclined surface 1 8 2. The parallel arm 1 8 4 is disposed and extends on both sides of the saw blade ', and when the pawl is placed in a position close to the saw blade, the parallel arm 1 8 4 does not touch the pin blade. Each parallel arm 1 8 4 is provided with a capacitor plate 1 8 6. The capacitor plate is located on the inner side of the parallel arm adjacent to the saw blade. Conductive leads 1 8 8 extend from each capacitor plate 1 8 6 to the appropriate saw blade detector circuit (not shown). The capacitor plate 1 8 6 is located on the parallel arm 1 8 4 so that when the interval of the pawl is within a desired range, the saw blade extends between the two capacitor plates 1 8 6.

Although an exemplary automatic claw interval detection system has been described above, it can be understood from this description that many changes or modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. For example, two capacitor boards can be placed on the same side of the blade, rather than on opposite sides. These capacitor plates and / or blade detection circuits can be independently located outside the pawl and separated from the pawl. In the latter case, for example, the capacitor boards and detection circuits may be mounted on a separate electronic circuit board, and the electronic circuit board is fixed to the pawl. Another alternative is that these capacitor plates can be replaced with one or more light emitting diodes and detectors, so that when the claws are properly positioned, the saw blade will obstruct the diodes and The beam path between the detectors. Other methods for detecting the approach of the blade to the paw are also possible. The following can be used as a further option: The functions of the capacitor plates 1 8 6 and 1 8 8 can be used as charging plates 6 2 and 6 6 instead of or in addition to the claw interval detector. Plus capacitor plate. Alternatively, a detection plate can be mounted on the slanted surface 1 2 of the pawl. This detection board can be used to detect the driving input signal used as contact detection. The magnitude of the signal measured on the detection board will be inversely proportional to the interval between the detection board and the sawtooth. If the size of this signal does not exceed 62, this paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) ΐ-Β ·-Line ·? A7 B7 V. Description of the invention) A known limitation, the system will determine that this situation indicates that the pawl surface is not close to the saw blade to a sufficient degree. .  Because the height and / or angle of the saw blade can be adjusted for many cutting machines, it may be desirable to mount the pawl on a portion of the machine frame that moves with the saw blade. This arrangement will ensure that the pawl is maintained in a predetermined position relative to the saw blade. Similarly, the charging plate is preferably installed in a place that can be moved with the saw blade or the pivot axis so as to maintain a predetermined fixed interval therebetween. An exemplary embodiment has been described above. In this embodiment, the charging lever is configured to be movable together with the pivot shaft. As an alternative, a fixed pawl can be architecturally designed to engage the saw blade in any orientation. An exemplary embodiment of such a fixed pawl is illustrated in Figs. 16 and 17. In a specific embodiment of this exemplary type, the brake system 34 includes an elongated pawl 200. The elongated pawl 200 is sized and shaped to extend along the outer periphery of the saw blade 64 as if it is adjusted in the vertical direction. Similarly, the width of the narrow pawl 200 is designed to extend the inclined width of the saw blade 64. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the long and narrow pawl 200 is installed in a vertical stroke substantially parallel to the saw blade and is substantially perpendicular to the tilt axis of the saw blade. As a result, the space between the saw blade and the contact surface 202 remains the same regardless of the position and orientation of the saw blade. The upper end of the long and narrow pawl 2 0 0 is pivotably attached to the pivot arm 2 0 4 through a pivot pin 2 0 6 'The pivot pin 2 0 6 passes through one end of the pivot arm 2 0 4 Go to the side of the pawl.

Description of the invention (") The end is pivotably attached to one or more by the pivot pin 210 On the mounting seat (not shown). The lower end of the narrow pawl 2 0 0 is pivotably attached to the lower pivot arm 2 0 3, and the pivot pin 2 0 5 passes through One end of the lower pivoting arm 203 enters the side of the pawl. The lower pivoting arm 203 is pivotably connected to the mounting base (not shown in the figure) by using a pivot pin 209. The spring 2 1 2 is attached to the side of the lower pivot arm 2 3 near the pivot pin 2 0 9 and on the opposite side to the pivot pin 2 05. Therefore, the narrow pawl 2 0 0 is architecturally Designed to rotate toward the blade 64 or away from the blade 64. The size and position of the pivot arm 2 0 4 and the pivot pin 2 0 9 are designed so that the narrow pawl 2 0 0 cannot be upward Pivot pass The saw blade does not hit the edge of the saw blade. When the pawl hits the saw blade while the saw blade is rotating, the movement of the saw blade causes the pawl to continue to pivot upward until the pawl is firmly wedged Between the saw blade and the pivoting arm, thereby stopping the saw blade. The contact surface of the pawl can be added with a bite texture, coating, etc. to strengthen the grip between the pawl and the saw blade Acting force. The narrow pawl 2 0 0 is biased upward by the action of a spring 2 1 2 and pivots to the saw blade. The spring 2 1 2 is, for example, fixed to the frame of the saw. Therefore, when the pawl 2 pivots freely At this time, the spring 2 1 2 drives the pawl to move rapidly toward the saw blade. Similar to the exemplary embodiment described above, the fusible member 1 2 2 is connected to the pawl so as to keep it away from the saw The fusible member 1 2 2 is designed in size to hold the pawl slightly away from the side edge of the fin.

It will be understood from this description that many changes can be made to the specific embodiment of the exemplary type shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, 'the pawl can be designed in the shape of the frame to pivot only in the direction of the saw blade under the influence of gravity. Another alternative is that the spring 2 1 2 can be a compression spring. Under normal circumstances, the compression spring fixes the pawl away from the saw blade until it is in another spring, explosive charge, solenoid valve. Under the influence of the pressure of the gas, gas pressure, etc., it is rotated upwards. Furthermore, the pawl can be mounted on the other side of the saw blade, so as to be pivoted downward into the saw blade under the influence of the spring, the explosive drug 'solenoid valve, the gas pressure, and the like. As previously described, the present invention provides a reliable system, where we call this system a safety stop mechanism. The safety stop mechanism 30 is used to stop the cutting tool when the cutting tool of the machine contacts the user's body. Although many exemplary specific embodiments of the safety stop mechanism 30 have been shown in the drawings and also explained in the previous description, it can be understood from this description that the specific implementation of the safety stop mechanism may follow The specific cutting tools installed in the mechanism vary. In order to provide additional explanation of the flexibility and versatility of the safety stop mechanism 30 of the present invention ', exemplary embodiments of the safety stop mechanism of the present invention will now be explained briefly by many common machines.

Description of the Invention (^ qiao) — a swing arm 2 2 〇 outward Extending (viewed from the direction of FIG. 18), the swing arm 2 2 0 pivots around a shaft 2 2 2 to raise and lower the pavilion. A worm wheel 2 2 4 engages an arc-shaped rack 'provided above the swing arm to pivot the swing arm 2 2 0 about the shaft. The safety stop mechanism 30 includes a bracket 2 2 8 attached to the swing arm 2 2 0, such as by one or more bolts 2 3 8 extending through the bracket 2 2 8 8 is fixed on the swing arm 2 2 0. Disposed on the mounting brackets 2 2 8 are charging plates 6 2 and 6 6. These charging plates are placed parallel to the plate 64, and are slightly separated from the saw blade 64, so as to create a capacitive shunt between these charging plates. These mounting brackets can be made of electrically insulating material or an electrical insulator can be placed between the bracket and the charging plate. The mounting bracket 2 2 8 extends from the end of the swing arm 2 2 0 beyond the side edge of the saw blade 6 4. A brake pawl 140 is pivotably mounted on a shoulder bolt 14 2 extending from the bracket. The free end of the pawl is biased towards the side edge of the saw blade by a compression spring 2 3 6. The spring is fixed between the pawl and a spring seat 2 38 in a compressed state, and the spring seat 2 3 8 extends from the bracket. A fusible member 1 2 2 is fixed between a pair of contact posts 24 0. The fusible member 1 2 2 is attached to the pawl and holds the pawl away from the side edge of the saw blade against the biasing action of the spring.

It should be able to breathe: by setting the pawl and charging plate on the bracket 2 2 8 attached to the swing arm, when the saw blade is adjusted, the pawl and charging plate Will move with the blade. This eliminates the need to reposition the pawl and / or charging pad each time the blade is moved. Furthermore, the specific embodiment of the safety stop mechanism 30 shown in FIG. 18 is suitable for easy installation or convenient modification of existing table saws without a safety stop mechanism. The only thing to do to modify an existing table saw is: Drill one or more screw holes at the end of the swing arm to accommodate the screw inspection 2 3 Q. The correct positioning of the bracket 2 2 § can be adjusted as needed, for example, to extend downwards for installation inside a special sawing machine housing. Although a special implementation of the safety stop mechanism 30 has been described with a table saw, it will be understood from this description that any of the implementation methods and variations described above can also be applied to a table saw system. In addition, although a special table saw architecture is used to describe the safety stop mechanism 30, it can be understood from this description that the safety stop mechanism can also be used in any embodiment and implementation of the present invention.

Description of the invention (α) For example, 'as shown in Figure 18, the swing arm is designed to pivot around a shaft near the front of the table saw. As a result, when the pawl engages the wrong piece and the angular momentum of the saw blade is transmitted to the swing arm, depending on the weight of the swing arm and the clearance in the worm wheel 24, the swing arm may tend to rise upward. If the swing arm rises upward, the saw blade will also rise, which may increase the injury to the user. This transfer of angular momentum is unlikely to be a problem where the pawl is mounted on the frame of a sawing machine. However, where the pawl is mounted on a swing arm, you may want to set the pivot center of the swing arm behind the table saw. This architecture can be seen in Figure 18 by reversing the direction of rotation of the saw blade and moving the brake onto the swing arm. The front of the saw will be on the left in Figure 18. In this architecture, the angular momentum of the saw blade when it is transmitted to the swing arm by the pawl tends to push the saw blade down, rather than pushing it upward. Alternatively, the worm gear can be held in position by a spring to allow the worm gear to move so that the swing arm can deflect downward when the saw blade is blocked. In addition, when the plastic bushing is placed between the saw blade and the mandrel as described previously, the substantial force generated by the blocking saw blade causes the bushing to deform almost immediately. Generally, when the blade tries to rotate around the pawl, the edge of the blade mounting hole will bite into the bushing. Therefore, if the pawl is mounted on the back of the saw blade (as shown in FIG. 18), then when the pawl engages the saw blade, the blade will tend to move down into the bushing, and Leave the user. Because of this effect, if the pivot pin is moved to the back of the saw as described above, it is often desirable to mount the pawl on the swing arm. 68 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order-; Line _ Printed by Jingbin Ministry of Intellectual Property Staff Consumer Cooperative Co., Ltd.

Description of Invention (lL) / As discussed above, in some implementation methods of the safety stop mechanism 30, the safety stop mechanism 30 is triggered After stopping the cutting tool, it may be necessary to replace part of the safety stop mechanism 30 (for example, the brake pawl 1 40, the fusible member 1 2 2 and so on). Therefore, in another alternative embodiment of the present invention, a part or all of the safety stopper mechanism 30 is provided in a stopper box or stopper module that can be easily replaced. Fig. 19 shows an example of a cassette-type safety stopper using the table saw of Fig. 18 as an example. The trigger box 2 4 6 generally includes a frame or housing 2 4 8 which can be attached to a support surface near the wrong piece 6 4 like a mounting bracket 2 2 8. The detent box 2 4 6 can be secured to the surface of the support by any suitable mechanism, including bolts 2 50. Alternatively or additionally, the trigger box may be architecturally designed to fit in a socket or other suitable container on the mounting bracket. Preferably, the trigger box has an asymmetric shape so that it can only be fixed to the surface of the support in the correct orientation. In the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 19, the mounting bracket includes a shoulder-shaped protrusion 2 5 2 corresponding to a slope 2 in the housing 2 4 8 5 4 so that the snap-in box cannot be loaded unless the bevel is aligned with the shoulder protrusion. It will be understood from this description that there are many other methods within the scope of the invention to ensure that the trigger box is in the correct orientation. The trigger box 2 4 6 also includes an electrical connector 2 5 6 which is architecturally designed to be operable to chew a plug 2 5 8 attached to the cable 2 6 0. This cable includes useful 69 -------- order --------- (read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 mm) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 458862 A7 ______B7__ V.

The cable can also conduct output signals from the electronics unit, such as a shutdown signal, to stop the motor assembly 1 2. Although the plug 2 58 and the cable 2 60 are shown in the figure as being freely movable, it will be understood from this description that the plug 2 5 8 can be firmly mounted on the surface of the support. Furthermore, the plugs 2 5 8 can be securely placed in a position that will ensure that the snap box is properly aligned and properly oriented when the connector is engaged with the plug. As a further safety measure-this measure will be discussed further below. The electronic device unit can be architecturally designed to provide a start signal to the power source of the saw, thus preventing the saw from being installed incompletely. It is used in the case of moving box. The housing 2 4 8 includes an opening 2 6 2 through which the pawl can protrude to the outside when the pawl is released. Alternatively, the pawl can be made flush with the surface of the housing 2 4 8 before being used. In any case, the pawl is pivotably connected to the housing 2 4 8 by a shoulder bolt 1 4 2 so that once the user's body is in contact with the saw blade, the pawl The pawl moves toward the blade and engages the blade. The shoulder bolts 1 4 2 can be mounted on the housing 2 4 8 or can be mounted on the surface of the support and extend through the openings in the housing and pawl. It is also useful to cover the pawl and the opening with a metal foil 2 2 9 or the like to prevent contamination or accidental protrusion of the pawl. Generally speaking, the actuating box 2 4 6 is structurally designed so that the interval between the pawl and the saw blade can be adjusted according to actual needs.

Invention Description (U) You can use, for example, pivoting or sliding on one or more mounting bolts. The manner of the detent box is adjusted to adjust the position of the detent box 2 4 6 relative to the saw blade. In this case, if necessary, the interval between the pawl and the saw blade can be determined by taking the interval between the pawl and the actuating box indirectly. Alternatively, the detent box can be fixed 'and the detents can be adjusted inside the detent box. As a further alternative, both the actuating box and the pawl can be designed to be adjustable. Similarly, the position of the mounting bracket relative to the saw blade can also be adjusted. In this exemplary embodiment, the stopper box 2 4 6 contains most of the safety stopper mechanism 30, which includes a stopper, a spring, a fusible member, and a contact post. , Grounding post, and electronic unit. Alternatively, the charging plates 62 and 64 may be housed inside the trigger case. Placing most of the safety stop mechanism 30 inside the stop box allows the manufacturer to develop improved electronic devices and additional functions without major modifications to the machine. Another alternative is that only a part of the safety stop mechanism 30 is placed inside the stopper box, such as a claw, a spring, and a fusible member. One of the advantages of this alternative is that it will reduce the cost of the trigger box. As a further alternative, the safety stop mechanism 30 may include a plurality of stop boxes. For example, 'One trigger box 2 4 6 may include a claw, a spring, a fusible member, and a contact post and a ground post. However,' the other trigger box may include an electronic unit. The trigger box 2 4 6 is optional. The ground adopts different sizes or structures to adapt to different size saw blades. For example, the one shown in Figure 19 is more suitable for the Chinese standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) than the 71-size paper -------------. / λ -------- Order --------- line (please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 4 5 88 6 A7 __________B7_______ 5. Description of the invention (^) The long actuating box can be used for saw blades of different diameters. Furthermore, different trigger boxes can be provided for different purposes and different types of saw blades (for example: plywood saws, side saws, etc.). For example, 'a first trigger box with a first type of claws can be used in the first type of saw blade' However, a second trigger box with a second type of different claws can be used in a second type On different saw blades. Another alternative is that the electronics of one trigger box may be different from the electronics of another trigger box ' so as to be suitable for different uses (for example, cutting plastic instead of wood). In addition, it is also within the scope of the present invention to use a plurality of detent boxes at the same time to ensure that the safety detent mechanism can respond most appropriately to each material. Turning now to Figs. 20 and 21, there is shown an exemplary safety stop mechanism 30 for a miter saw 27 (also known as a chopping saw). It will be understood from this description that the miter saw 2 70 can be any type of miter saw, including a simple miter saw, a compound miter saw, a sliding compound miter saw, and so on. Generally speaking, the miter saw 270 includes a base or a holder 2 72, which is suitable for holding a workpiece to be cut. A swing arm 2 7 4 is pivotably connected to the base 2 7 2 so that the swing arm 2 7 4 can be pivoted downward to the base 2 7 2. Attached to the swing arm 2 7 4 is a housing 2 7 6 which can be adapted to at least partially enclose a circular saw blade 6 4. A motor assembly 12 is connected to the housing 2 7 6, and the motor assembly 12 includes a rotating mandrel 70, on which a saw blade is mounted.

An optional blade guard (not shown) can be extended from the bottom of the case 2 7 6 to cover any part of the blade exposed from the case. Any of the above-mentioned structures and designs of the safety stop mechanism 30 can be used in the miter saw 270. In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figs. 20 and 21, the safety stop mechanism 30 is a cassette system. With the exception of the charging plates 62 and 66, both the brake system 34 and the contact detection system 32 are included in the detent box 24.6. The trigger box 2 4 6 is structurally designed to mount the trigger box 2 4 6 on the front side inner surface of the housing 2 7 6 with one or more bolts 2 50. The housing may include a movable panel or a movable door 2 7 7 to allow personnel to access the actuating box. A brake pawl 14 is mounted inside the striker 'and can be placed in front of the saw blade. The charging plates 6 2 and 6 6 are connected to the inner wall of the housing 2 7 6 by one or more mounts 2 8 2. These mounts 2 8 2 are by any suitable mechanism like screw inspection 2 8 4 and so on are attached to the housing, and are structurally designed to enable the charging plate to be parallel and closely abut the saw blade 64. As shown in FIG. 21, the interval between the charging plate and the saw blade is preferably significantly less than the interval between the charging plate and the case 'so as to reduce any parasitic capacitance between the charging plate and the case To the smallest extent.

Description of the invention (q 1) Stop box. Safety stop mechanism 3 The power of 0 is supplied by a cable extending from the motor assembly 12. In addition to engaging the pawl with the saw blade, the electronic unit inside the detent box 2 4 6 is also architecturally designed for use When the contact between the user and the saw blade is detected, the power to the motor assembly 12 can be interrupted. As discussed above with the table saw, a circular saw blade that rotates at a speed of thousands of revolutions per minute has A considerable amount of angular momentum. Therefore, when the pawl engages a circular saw blade as previously described in miter saw 2 70 and stops the blade within milliseconds, the angular momentum must be transmitted Into the brake. Because the swing arm of the miter saw is free to pivot in the direction of the blade rotation, when the blade is suddenly When staying, the angular momentum of the saw blade can be transmitted to the swing arm, causing the swing arm to swing downward. This sudden and powerful downward movement of the swing arm if the user's body is partly sawing When it is under the blade, it may cause injury to the user. Therefore, an alternative embodiment of the safety stop mechanism 30 of the miter saw also includes a mechanism for preventing the swing arm from moving toward the direction when the blade is stopped. In addition, the pawl is generally installed in front of the miter saw, so that when the saw blade is engaged with the pawl, the saw blade is driven to climb up and away from the user (that is, the plastic bush is deformed) ). It will be understood from this description that there are many suitable mechanisms that can be used to prevent a sudden downward movement of the swing arm. For example, the pivotal connection between the swing arm and the base of the miter saw can be buckled by an electrical mechanism For example, use a leaf spring of an electromagnet to prevent the swing arm from pivoting. The signal used to lock the joint can be provided by the detection system.

Description of Invention (ji) The alternative is A damper may be connected between the swing arm and the base to limit the time when the blade is detected to be in contact with the user and the time when the blade is stopped by the claws. How far the film can move. Although there are many other ways to connect the swing arm to the base to prevent sudden movement of the swing arm in the direction of the base, most of these designs transfer angular momentum to the swing arm / base assembly. Depending on the weight and balance of the saw, this angular momentum may be sufficient to cause the entire saw to tip over. Therefore, it is necessary to fix the base to a stable surface with fixing clips, bolts, and the like. Another alternative: the miter saw is architecturally designed to absorb any angular momentum without allowing the swing arm to move downward. For example, the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 20 and 21 has a pivoting motor assembly in architecture to allow the saw blade to move upward into the housing once it engages with the pawl. The motor assembly 12 is connected to the housing 2 7 6 via a pivot bolt 2 8 6, which allows the motor assembly 12 to pivot about the bolt 2 8 6 in the direction of the saw blade rotation. A spring 2 9 2 is compressed between the housing and the holder 2 9 4 so as to apply a biasing force to the motor assembly in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the saw blade. The motor assembly 12 also includes a projection 2 9 6 which slides against a flange 2 9 8 on the housing to hold the end of the motor assembly 12 against The position of the pivot bolt on the housing. When the sawing machine is in use, the spring 2 9 2 keeps the motor assembly in a normal position completely opposite the direction of rotation of the saw blade. However, once the pawl is released to engage the saw blade, the motor assembly and 75 paper sizes apply the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) \ J. .  -------------. k -------- Order --------- (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumers ’Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 r — _ B7 V. Invention Explanation n) The saw blade is pivoted upward against the biasing direction of the spring. In this embodiment, the pawl is placed in front of the saw blade so that the pivot bolt 2 8 6 is between the pawl and the spindle. This arrangement encourages the saw blade to move up into the housing when blocked. The spring is selected to have sufficient strength to keep the motor assembly 12 in a lower position when cutting through a workpiece, but it is also sufficiently compressible to allow the blade and the blade to be blocked when the blade is blocked. The motor assembly can be moved upwards. Although an exemplary implementation method of a safety stop mechanism 30 has been described above by using a miter saw as an example, the present invention should not be considered to be limited to any one specific implementation method, because the safety stop mechanism 3 The architecture and design of 0 can obviously vary according to the type and use of the sawing machine. For example, the pivot motor assembly architecture can also be incorporated into one or more of the other systems described above that prevent the swing arm from pivoting suddenly toward the base. It will be further understood from this description that the saw blade and motor assembly can be architecturally designed in various ways to at least partially absorb the angular momentum of the saw blade. Figure 22 shows an alternative architecture of the miter saw 270, which is designed to absorb the angular momentum of the saw blade. In this embodiment, the beveled data 2 70 includes two swing arms 2 7 5 and 2 7 4.

Description of the invention 2 is slightly lower than the swing arm 2 7 4. Generally the 'motor assembly is firmly attached to the end 3 0 2 of the swing arm 2 7 5, whereas the' housing 2 7 Θ is connected to be rotatable around the end 3 2 of the swing arm 2 7 5 . The end 3 2 of the swing arm 2 7 4 is only connected to the housing. This arrangement makes the motor assembly and trigger act the same as in many traditional miter saws. Another alternative is' the motor assembly may be connected to rotate the housing around the end 3 2 of the swing arm 2 7 5. The architecture shown in Figure 2 causes the housing and / or motor assembly to rotate together as the swing arm pivots. Obviously 'when the swing arm moves upward, the housing and / or motor assembly rotates in the same direction as the direction of rotation of the saw blade when cutting. Result' When the pawl engages the saw blade and transmits the saw blade When angular momentum arrives at the housing and / or motor assembly, the housing and / or motor assembly tends to rotate in the same direction as the saw blade. This causes these swing arms to pivot upwards, dragging the saw blade away from the workpiece and the user's body. Therefore, as described above, the miter saw frame in FIG. 22 is adapted to absorb the angular momentum of the saw blade and convert the angular momentum into an upward force acting on the swing arm. The structure of FIG. 22 described above illustrates a further alternative embodiment of the safety stop mechanism 30. Specifically, the safety stop mechanism 30 can be architecturally designed so that when the saw blade of the cutting tool touches the user's body, the safety stop mechanism can also stop the saw blade. Move the saw blade of the cutting tool quickly away from the user, or do not stop the saw blade but quickly move the saw blade away from the user's body.

Description of the invention Γ). For example, the swing arm 2 2 0 of the table saw in FIG. 18 can be designed to be able to disengage the worm wheel 2 2 4 when a contact is detected, and pivot downward to pull the saw blade to the sawing machine. Top surface. A spring (not shown) can be incorporated into the swing arm to increase its speed of falling downwards. It will be understood from this description that similar embodiments can be used in all the copper described here. In the case of a miter saw, the electromagnetic disc brakes previously discussed can be used to prevent the swing arm from moving when it touches the user. Additionally, the release system can be used to When a person makes contact, release the spring to push the swing arm upward. With such a system, there is no need to stop the saw suddenly to avoid injury. Fig. 23 illustrates an exemplary implementation method of the safety stop mechanism 30 by means of the rotary arm saw 3 1 0. Generally speaking, 1 rotary arm saw 3 1 0 includes a horizontal base 3 1 2, a vertical post 3 1 2 extending upward from the horizontal base 3 1 2 and a vertical post 3 1 4 extending from the horizontal post 3 1 4 1 2 Vertically spaced guide arms 3 1 6. A slider 3 1 8 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the guide arm 3 1 6. The bottom end of the slider 3 1 8 is connected to the saw housing 3 2 0 and the motor assembly 3 2 2, which can cause the saw blade 6 4 to be pulled over the base to cut off the workpiece supported on the base (not shown in the figure). show). Any of the above-mentioned structures and arrangements of the safety stop mechanism 30 can be used in the rotary arm saw 3 1 0. For example, the safety stop mechanism 30 can be placed in a stopper box 2 4 6 which can be mounted on the saw housing 3 2 0 adjacent to the saw blade.

Description of the invention (7 厶) It can also be installed inside the casing or other appropriate positions as described above. The brake pawl 1 40 is architecturally designed to engage the blade 64 and stop it when the blade comes into contact with the user's body. Although the claw is shown mounted near the rear side of the saw blade, the claw may be installed in front of the saw blade or any other desired position. It should be noted that, as previously explained, if the blade is separated from the mandrel by a deformable bushing, the blade will be easily upward if the pawl engages the front end of the blade Move into the case. The slider 3 1 8 is generally mounted on the guide arm 3 1 6 to prevent the bracket from pivoting relative to the guide arm 3 1 6. Therefore, the transfer of the angular momentum of the saw blade into the housing and the guide arm usually does not cause the guide arm to move toward the user's body when braking. However, when a contact is detected, because the user may be pulling the saw in their own direction, the saw may continue to face the user even after the safety stop mechanism 30 has stopped the saw blade mobile. This continued movement may cause the stopped saw blade to be dragged across the user's body (for example, the user's hand), resulting in further injury. Therefore, it is hoped that an additional braking system can be obtained so as to stop the movement of the carriage and the saw along the arm of the guide bow once the saw blade comes into contact with the user's body. This brake system can also be used as an alternative to stopping the saw blade, especially when the brake system is designed to be pulled to pull the carriage backward to leave the user > This design can be used To replace the original braking system.

Invention Description The slider 3 1 8 slides along the guide arm 3 1 6. Figure 23 illustrates only two examples of many suitable slide brake architectures within the scope of the present invention. One of the illustrated slide brake architectures includes a pivot pawl assembly 3 2 4. The pivoting pawl assembly 3 2 4 is provided with a pawl 3 2 8 which is pivotably connected to the guide carriage 3 1 8. An actuator 3 3 0 mounted on the slider 3 1 8 is operatively matched with the safety stop mechanism 3 0, and is structurally designed to engage the pawl 3 2 8. Under normal operating conditions, the actuator 3 30 keeps the pawl spaced from the guide arm 3 16 minutes. However, when contact between the saw blade and the user's body is found, the safety stop mechanism 30 sends an actuation signal to the actuator 3 3 0. The actuation signal sent to the actuator may be the same signal as the signal for starting the ignition system 115, or it may be a different signal. In any case, upon receiving the actuation signal, the actuator drives the pawl 3 2 8 to pivot it into the guide arm, preventing the guide carriage from moving further along the The guide arm moves forward. The pawl can be made of a material with high friction such as rubber, etc., or its surface can be covered with such a material, and / or the structure of the shape can be increased by the use of gear teeth and other structures . Another exemplary brake architecture shown in Figure 23 includes a lockable drum assembly 3 3 2. The lockable roll assembly 3 3 2 can be used in place of the wedge mechanism assembly 3 2 4 or in addition to the wedge mechanism assembly 3 2 4. In any case, the lockable roll assembly 3 3 2 includes a spring-operated roll 3 3 4 mounted on a vertical support 3 1 4.

Description of the invention 〇 彳) One end of 6 is connected to the slider 3 1 8; however, the other end is wound around the spring-operated reel 3 3 4 All around. When the user pulls the hall across the base, the reel unfolds' and the tether 3 3 6 is extended. The loading force exerted by the spring of the reel ensures that the reel can hold the tether 3 3 6-a slight tension 'and when the user pulls the saw back towards the vertical post' the tether 3 3 6 Take it up on the roll. The lockable reel assembly 3 3 2 also includes a reel brake such as a pawl 3 3 8 'which is operatively linked to a safety stop mechanism 30. Therefore, when the contact between the saw blade and the user's body is detected, the safety stop mechanism 30 sends an actuation signal to the reel brake, so that the reel is locked and fixed. Once the reel is secured, the tether 3 3 6 prevents the restaurant from advancing further—moving away from the vertical pillar 3 1 4. In an alternative implementation of the lockable reel assembly 3 3 2 which is not shown in the figure, 'the lockable reel assembly may be housed in the lock box 2 4 6 or disposed adjacent to the lock The place of the moving box 2 4 6 'In this case, the tether 3 3 6 will be pulled backward from the roll to the vertical post 3 1 4. It will be understood from this technical description that there are many different alternative methods, devices and architectures that can be used to stop the movement of the guide carriage and saw along the guide arm. Any one or more of these alternatives can be used in place of or in addition to the brake architecture described above and shown in Figure 23. Fig. 24 illustrates a safety stop mechanism 30 implemented in a hand-held circular saw 340. Generally speaking, the hand-held circular saw 3 4 0 includes a housing 3 4 2 which includes a motor assembly (not shown in the picture.

Description of the invention (1) shown), a guide plate 3 4 4, and a telescopic blade protection device 3 4 6. The saw blade 64 is connected to the motor assembly via a mandrel 70. The safety stop mechanism 30 can be applied to the saw 3 4 0 ° according to any of the various embodiments and architectures described previously. In the exemplary implementation method shown in Figure 2 4., the safety stop mechanism is Shown as a box-type system. The detent box 2 4 6 includes a detent pawl 1 40, and the detent box 2 4 6 is connected to the housing 3 4 2 so that the detent can engage the saw blade. The charging plate (not shown in the figure) can be mounted on the inside of a housing adjacent to the blade or any other location suitable for capacitively coupling the input signal across the blade. The illustrated trigger box 2 4 6 and the claw are installed adjacent to the front side of the blade to avoid interference with the retractable blade guard 3 4 6. Alternatively, the pawl and the trigger box 2 4 6 can be mounted anywhere near the saw blade.

Description of the invention (press) The direction of the saw blade 6 4 is cut through the cutting area 3 5 5 between the two wheels 3 5 4. An upper saw guide assembly 3 5 6 and a lower saw guide assembly 3 5 8 hold the rotating saw blade in a stable path in the cutting area 3 5 5. The work is placed on a table 360 facing the saw blade through the cutting area, which forms the bottom of the cutting area. The blade should form an electrical insulation between the main housing, which is often grounded. Therefore, the slat guide assemblies 3 5 6 and 3 5 8-these sliver guide assemblies can include ball bearing guides and friction pads-are structurally a saw blade and the main housing Make electrical isolation between them. In addition, the high-friction coating on the runner 3 5 4 electrically isolates the saw blade from the runner 3 5 4. Alternatively, these runners may be made of a non-conductive material. Charging pads 62 and 66 can be arranged in many different ways, depending on their use and space constraints on the main housing. Two possible arrangements are illustrated in Figure 25. In this first mode, the charging plates 6 2 and 6 6 are arranged next to the saw blade straddling one of the two wheels 3 5 4. The charging plate can be made arc-shaped to match the periphery of the runner, and a fixed size interval is maintained between the two charging plates and the saw blade. This arrangement has the advantage that it is easy to maintain a fixed saw blade-to-charging plate spacing because the saw blade is maintained in a path that is fixed to the periphery of the runner. The charging board may be connected to the main case 'via a non-conductive mounting table to maintain electrical insulation from the case. Among the many possible arrangements of the charging board, another way includes a charging board mounting base 3 6 2 'The charging board mounting base 3 6 2 is structurally 83.

Description of the invention (p |) extends along a saw blade running between two runners 3 5 4. As can be seen particularly from the detailed view of FIG. 26, the charging plate mounting base includes charging plates 62 and 66. In the illustrated embodiment, the charging board mounting base has a substantially C-shaped cross-section, and its size can be fitted to the side edge and the rear edge of the saw blade (that is, the side edge of the side without the wrong teeth) ). The charging plate mounting seat is mounted on the main casing 3 5 2 and is elastically pushed laterally by, for example, one or more springs 3 6 4 toward the moving saw blade. Because the blade 64 may tend to deflect or shift slightly on its path, the spring 3 6 4 ensures that the charging plate mount can move with the blade. The charging plate mounting base 3 6 2 is generally made of durable and non-conductive materials such as ceramics' plastics. Charging pads 6 2 and 6 6 are provided on or inside the charging pad mounting base 3 6 2. Although the charging plates shown in the figure are provided on the opposite side of the saw blade 64, these charging plates may be replaced and arranged on the same side of the saw blade. This self-aligning structure of the charging plate mount can ensure that the gap between the saw blade and the charging plate is substantially fixed despite the saw blade moving. The safety stop mechanism 30 may include a brake system 34 having one or more pawls (not shown), which pawls are designed on the frame bottle to detect the saw blade and the user's body When contact between them occurs, the pawl can engage the blade and stop the blade. These pawls can be arranged to engage the teeth of the saw blade or the sides of the saw blade as described previously. Due to the high frictional force and the high tension of the saw blade being press-fitted onto the wheel, it may be necessary to stop the blade while stopping one or both of the two wheels.

Description of the invention ((5 ^) The pawl can be designed to engage one or both of the runners 3 5 4. However, since the band saw runners 3 5 4 generally have a relatively high mass, the angular momentum of the rotating runners may be Quite large, a large force is required in order to be able to actually stop the saw blade and the runner at the same time. Therefore, a further alternative embodiment of the brake system 34 is shown in Figs. As explained below, the alternative brake system 3 4 is architecturally designed to cut the blade 6 4 when it detects that contact between the blade and the user's body is detected. By cutting the blade The saw blade is released around the tension press on the runner 3 5 4 so that the saw blade can be stopped without stopping As can be seen more clearly in the detailed view of Fig. 27, the alternative braking system 34 includes an explosive cable or bolt cutting device 3 6 6 which is an explosive cable cutting device. 3 6 6 can be placed adjacent to the saw blade 6 4 to cut it off when a start signal is received.

Once cut, even if the runner 3 5 4 continues to rotate, however, the saw blade substantially stops moving. As previously stated, the 'safety stop mechanism 3 0 can be selectively architecturally designed to turn off the motor connected to the band saw 3 5 0 while cutting off the saw blade. In addition, one or more pawls (not shown) can be architecturally designed such that when the cable cutting device 3 6 6 cuts the saw blade, the pawls will engage the saw blade and stop its Move to ensure that the saw blade does not continue to move after being cut ° Except for cutting machines with blades with favorable teeth, 'many of Pu'er's machines, such as seam planers, planers, etc.' are generally used The upper part is a cylindrical blade, and one or more narrow blades are provided on the blade. These blades are installed on the outer surface of the blade. In operation, the cutter head rotates around its central axis of the cylinder. When the workpiece passes laterally through the cutter head, the blade creates a wide cut on the abutting surface of the workpiece. As with other cutting machines mentioned above, machines with cylindrical blades may cause serious injuries if the blades in operation come into contact with the user's body. Therefore, Fig. 28 illustrates a specific embodiment of an exemplary safety stop mechanism 30 used in a seam planer 500 to prevent serious injury to a user.

Description of the invention (ff) Rotate on the mandrel. Mandrel—It is usually installed in one or more bearing assemblies (not shown in the figure) and is rotatably driven by a motor assembly (not shown in the figure). The motor assembly is directly Is coupled to the mandrel, or is coupled to the mandrel by a belt and pulley system. The cutter head is installed in a main frame assembly 506, and extends upward in the space between the feeding table 508 and the discharge lift 5 10. A workpiece is cut by sliding the workpiece along the feed table 5 + 08 through the cutter head and into the discharge table 5 10. In general, the vertical position of the feeding table 508 and the discharging table 510 can be independently adjusted to control the depth of the cut into the workpiece. The blade is often made of a metal material such as steel and generally includes three blades 5 1 2 which are mounted on the surface of the blade and extend beyond the surface of the blade. It will be understood from this technical description: These cutting machines can use more or fewer blades, and the use of the safety stop mechanism 30 of the present invention is not limited to the number of blades on the blade head 502. One or more bushes 514 made of a non-conductive material are placed between the cutter head and the mandrel so as to isolate the cutter head and blades from the frame 506. The charging plates 62 and 66 can be placed adjacent to the cutter head to connect the signals generated by the first electrical system 38 that crosses the cutter head. In Figure 2-8, these charging plates (shown by dashed lines in the figure) are mounted near a flat end of the blade. Another alternative is that the mandrel can be isolated from the frame, and the charging plates can be placed around the mandrel, as previously described in conjunction with Figure 5.

However, these blades and blade heads are electrically connected together1 so any contact with the user's body can be detected whether or not the blades occur. Once the contact is detected, the braking system is activated in order to quickly stop the rotation of the cutter head 502. The braking system may include a pivoting pawl that can pivot and engage one of the blades in the manner described above. The pawl is structurally made to have the same width as the cylinder of the cutter head so as to engage the entire length of the blade ', not just a smaller part of the blade. Generally, the blade will not stop the rotation of the blade before the blade has hit the blade, because the surface of the blade is relatively slippery. The pawl can be shaped to extend into the groove on the blade with the blade in order to ensure that the pawl can engage the blade itself in addition to the blade. In addition to the pivoting pawl system just described, FIG. 28 shows another pawl structure that can replace the pawl previously described. The structure includes a flat plate 5 2 0 supported on a slider 5 2 2. The slider 5 2 2 is arranged below the discharge table 5 1 0. When the plate 5 2 0 slides into contact with the blade 5 ◦ 2, the plate 5 2 0 engages the next blade passing through and stops the rotation of the blade. The plate 5 2 0 can be made of any suitable material capable of stopping the cutter head. These materials include: metal, plastic, etc. The plate 5 2 0 can be slid against the cutter head by a bow light spring 1 3 0 held by a fusible member 1 2 2. The fusible member 1 2 2 is surrounded by a pair of contact posts 5 2 4 connected to an ignition system (not shown), so that when a contact with the user's body is detected 88 6 paper size Applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) -------------, .- 4 — (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 线. 线45BS ^ A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 5. Description of the Invention (ft), the fusible member 1 2 2 is melted, and the spring 1 30 is released. It should be noted that the spring 130 is released through a duplex mechanism to allow a higher strength spring without increasing the size of the fusible member 12 2. Although the plate 5 2 0 in the illustration is provided on the upper rear side of the cutter head, instead of this arrangement, the plate can also be placed at any position adjacent to the cutter head under the feeding table and the discharging table. For example, the plate can be placed under the feeding table as shown by the dotted line in the figure. It is also possible to use a plurality of flat plates and set them at various positions such as the front side and the back side of the blade. For a normal blade with three blades and rotating at about 5000 revolutions per minute, the blade will rotate in about 12 milliseconds to complete a stack. There will be approximately 4 milliseconds between the contact and the contact of the next blade. Therefore, the cutter head should preferably stop completely in less than 8 milliseconds from the beginning of physical contact with the user, and more preferably stop in less than 4 milliseconds. In the former case, no more than 2 blades will contact the user's body, but in the latter case, no more than 1 blade will contact the user. However, longer stopping times are acceptable. It will be understood from this technical description: To achieve the best performance of the safety stop mechanism 30, the position of the pawl around the cutter head can be adjusted according to the time between contact detection and the engagement of the pawl to ensure The pawl engages the cutter head some time before passing through the blade, rather than engaging the pawl with the cutter head after passing through a blade. Otherwise, the blade will continue to rotate until the next blade hits the pawl. Another alternative is that the cutter head can be made structurally along the length direction of the cutter head. 89 paper sizes adopt the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) ^ ---- ---- Order --------- line-.J (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) 4 5 88 ^ 2 Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Α7 Β7 V. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (d) One or more grooves are provided, as indicated by the dashed line at the position 5 2 9 in the figure. These grooves are designed to receive the pawl. Then 'if the pawl engages the blade just as it passes through a blade,' the blade will only be stopped until the next groove passes, rather than waiting until the next blade passes live. In addition to the brake system with the pawl as its main structure, FIG. 28 also illustrates another alternative system whose structure is to cover the blades to prevent them from causing harm to the user. Specifically, the alternative brake system includes a substantially flexible sheet-like material 5 30, such as plastic, rubber, metal foil, and the like. The flexible sheet material 5 3 0 includes a hook 5 3 2 which is designed to be adapted to engage any blade 5 1 2. When the hook 5 3 2 is pushed against the cutter head 5 0 2, the next passing blade captures the hook 5 3 2, so that the flexible sheet-like material 5 3 0 is wound around the cutter head when it rotates.

Description of the invention (g ") The opposite end of the sub 5 3 2 can be fastened securely, so as to stop the cutter head before completing a full turn. Additionally, or alternatively, the seam planer motor assembly may be turned off to stop the rotation of the cutter head. A similar system can be implemented on a circular saw blade to cover sharp teeth. Similar to seam planers, planers also use cylindrical heads with one or more cutter blades on the surface. Generally speaking, the cutter head is mounted above a bed with one or more feed rollers, and a work piece passes under the cutter head along these rollers.
