Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は可燃性ガスと空気とを混合し着火することにより、ピストンを駆動する動力を発生させ、ピストンにより釘を打ち込むガス釘打機に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般にガス釘打機は例えば米国特許第5197646号等に示す構造となっている。釘を打ち込む手順を図4〜図7を用いて説明する。打ち込み前の静止状態においては図4のようになっている。本体枠を形成するハウジング14には、ハンドル11、テールカバー1、プッシュレバー21、マガジン13、トリガスイッチ12が付随しており、ハウジング14内部にはシリンダ4、バンパー2、ピストン10、ファン6、ファン6を回転させるモータ8、点火プラグ9、噴射口22、ガスボンベ7、燃焼室壁15、ヘッドカバー23等が設けられている。
【0003】
ハウジング14内において、ハウジング14に対し、シリンダ4とヘッドカバー23は固定されているが、燃焼室壁15はハウジング14とシリンダ4に案内され、図示しないばねにより下方に付勢され、ハウジング14の軸方向に移動可能となっている。燃焼室壁15とヘッドカバー23とピストン10で閉鎖された空間が可燃性ガスと空気の混合ガスが燃焼する燃焼室5を形成する。シリンダ4内には図示しない摺動シール部材を介してピストン10が移動可能に設けられている。シリンダ4の下方側壁に排気穴3及び排気穴3の外側に図示しない逆止弁、ピストン10突当て停止用のバンパ2が設けられている。燃焼室5内には、燃焼室5外でヘッドカバー23上方に設けられたモータ8により回転されるファン6、トリガスイッチ12によって点火される点火プラグ9、燃焼室5外に設けられ、可燃性ガスを内含するガスボンベ7から供給されるガスを噴射する噴射口22、突起状に突き出たリブ24がある。
【0004】
ハウジング14の下方に図示しない釘を充填したマガジン13と、マガジン3から給送される釘の先頭の釘をピストン10下方で支持し、釘及びピストンを案内するテールカバー1が取り付けられている。
【0005】
シリンダ4上端とヘッドカバー23下端には図示しないシール部材が設けられている。
【0006】
図4に示す静止状態においては、ばね付勢により、プッシュレバー21がテールカバー1下端より突出している。このときプッシュレバー21と連接している燃焼室5下方とシリンダ4上端には隙間25があり、また同時に燃焼室5上端とヘッドカバー23下方との間にも隙間26がある。ピストン10は、シリンダ4内の上死点位置に停止している。
【0007】
この状態でハンドル11を把持し、プッシュレバー21を木材27に押し付けると、プッシュレバー21がばねに抗して上昇し、プッシュレバー21と連接した燃焼室壁15も上昇して図5のようになる。燃焼室壁15の上昇により、燃焼室5下方と上方の隙間25、26が閉じられ、シール材により密封される。上記動作と連動し、その後、ガスボンベ7が押圧されて、噴射口22から可燃性ガスが噴射され、更に、モータ8がオンとなりファン6が回転する。ファン6が密封空間となった燃焼室5内で回転することにより、燃焼室5内に突出したリブ24とあいまって、噴射したガスが燃焼室5内の空気と攪拌混合される。
【0008】
その後トリガスイッチ12をオンすると、点火プラグ9がスパークして混合ガスに着火する。燃焼・膨張したガスはピストン10を下方へ移動させ、テールカバー1内の釘を打ち込み、図6の状態となる。
【0009】
図6において、ピストン10はバンパ2と接している。燃焼ガスは排気穴3よりシリンダ4外部へ放出される。排気穴3には逆止弁が付随しており、燃焼ガスがシリンダ4外部へ放出され、シリンダ4及び燃焼室5内部が大気圧になった時点で逆止弁は閉じられる。シリンダ4及び燃焼室5内に残った燃焼ガスは燃焼後であるため高温であり、その熱がシリンダ4の内壁、燃焼室壁15の内壁から吸収されることで、燃焼ガスが急冷されて、ピストン10上部の閉じられた空間の圧力が低下して大気圧以下になり(熱真空という)、ピストン10を初期の上死点位置に引き戻す。
【0010】
その後、トリガスイッチ12をオフし、本体を持ち上げ、プッシュレバー21を木材27から離すと、プッシュレバー21と燃焼室壁15がばね付勢により下方へ戻り図7のようになる。この時、ファン6はトリガスイッチ12をオフしても、図示しない制御部により一定時間回転を継続している。図7に示す状態では燃焼室5の上下に隙間25、26を生じさせ、ファン6により流れ16を発生させることで燃焼後の空気を掃気する。その後ファン6が停止し初期の静止状態(図4)となる。
【0011】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記したガス釘打機では、釘の打ち込み後において、熱真空によりピストン10を引き戻す際に、ファン6による流れは、シリンダ4下方では非常に弱く、シリンダ4内での冷却効率が悪いため、ピストン10の戻り時間が長く、釘の連発打ちに大きな影響を与えてしまう。
【0012】
本発明の目的は、シリンダ内部に強制対流を発生させることにより、シリンダ内での冷却効率を向上させることで、ピストンの戻り時間を短縮して、釘の連発打ちを可能にすることである。
【0013】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的は、シリンダと燃焼室の間に流れ制御部材を設け、燃焼室内で燃焼した可燃性ガスが膨張し、シリンダへ流れ込む際に攪拌流れを発生させ、攪拌流れによる強制対流でシリンダを冷却させることにより達成することができる。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下本発明の一実施形態を示す図1を参照して説明する。基本的構成は上記従来例と同じであり、燃焼、掃気の動作も上記従来例と同じである。
【0015】
図1の実施形態では、燃焼室5とシリンダ4との間に流れ絞り部材17を設置することにより、燃焼室5内で混合気体が燃焼膨張し、シリンダ4内へ流れ込む際に流れ絞り部材17で流れが絞られて、ピストン10下方に向かう流速が増大することにより、攪拌流れ18を発生させる。この攪拌流れ18はピストン10が下死点に到達し、燃焼気体が排気穴3より排出された後でも慣性流としてシリンダ4内に残って攪拌し続け、攪拌流れ18による強制対流により、シリンダ4内の燃焼気体とシリンダ4内壁との間の熱伝達率を向上させ、シリンダ4内の燃焼気体を効率的に冷却することができる。
【0016】
図2は本発明の他の実施形態を示す。燃焼室5とシリンダ4との間に回転渦生成部材19を設けたものである。回転渦生成部材19の斜視図を図3に示す。上記実施形態と同様に燃焼室5内で混合気体が燃焼膨張し、シリンダ4内へ流れ込む際にシリンダ4内壁に沿った渦状の攪拌流れ20を発生させ、シリンダ4下方まで強い流れを継続させて、シリンダ4内の燃焼気体とシリンダ4内壁との間の熱伝達率を向上させ、冷却効率を上げる。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、シリンダ内の強制対流により、冷却効率を向上させ、熱真空を早く起こすことができ、ピストンの戻り時間を短縮させ、釘の連発打ちが可能となる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gas nailing machine in which flammable gas and air are mixed and ignited to generate power for driving a piston and to drive a nail by the piston.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, a gas nailer has a structure shown in, for example, US Pat. No. 5,1976,646. A procedure for driving a nail will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 shows a stationary state before driving. The housing 14 forming the main body frame is accompanied by a handle 11, a tail cover 1, a push lever 21, a magazine 13, and a trigger switch 12. Inside the housing 14, a cylinder 4, a bumper 2, a piston 10, a fan 6, A motor 8 for rotating the fan 6, a spark plug 9, an injection port 22, a gas cylinder 7, a combustion chamber wall 15, a head cover 23, and the like are provided.
[0003]
In the housing 14, the cylinder 4 and the head cover 23 are fixed with respect to the housing 14, but the combustion chamber wall 15 is guided by the housing 14 and the cylinder 4 and is urged downward by a spring (not shown). It can move in the direction. A space closed by the combustion chamber wall 15, the head cover 23, and the piston 10 forms a combustion chamber 5 in which a mixed gas of combustible gas and air burns. A piston 10 is movably provided in the cylinder 4 via a sliding seal member (not shown). An exhaust hole 3 on the lower side wall of the cylinder 4 and a check valve (not shown) and a bumper 2 for stopping the piston 10 are provided outside the exhaust hole 3. Inside the combustion chamber 5, a fan 6 rotated by a motor 8 provided above the head cover 23 outside the combustion chamber 5, a spark plug 9 ignited by a trigger switch 12, and provided outside the combustion chamber 5, is a combustible gas. There are an injection port 22 for injecting a gas supplied from a gas cylinder 7 including a rib 24 protruding in a protruding shape.
[0004]
A magazine 13 filled with nails (not shown) below the housing 14 and a tail cover 1 for supporting the nails at the head of the nails fed from the magazine 3 below the piston 10 and guiding the nails and the piston are attached.
[0005]
Sealing members (not shown) are provided at the upper end of the cylinder 4 and the lower end of the head cover 23.
[0006]
In the stationary state shown in FIG. 4, the push lever 21 protrudes from the lower end of the tail cover 1 due to the spring bias. At this time, there is a gap 25 between the lower side of the combustion chamber 5 connected to the push lever 21 and the upper end of the cylinder 4, and at the same time, there is a gap 26 between the upper end of the combustion chamber 5 and the lower side of the head cover 23. The piston 10 is stopped at the top dead center position in the cylinder 4.
[0007]
When the handle 11 is gripped in this state and the push lever 21 is pressed against the wood 27, the push lever 21 rises against the spring, and the combustion chamber wall 15 connected to the push lever 21 also rises as shown in FIG. Become. As the combustion chamber wall 15 rises, the gaps 25 and 26 below and above the combustion chamber 5 are closed and sealed with a sealing material. In conjunction with the above operation, after that, the gas cylinder 7 is pressed, the combustible gas is injected from the injection port 22, the motor 8 is turned on, and the fan 6 rotates. As the fan 6 rotates in the combustion chamber 5 which is a sealed space, the injected gas is mixed with the air in the combustion chamber 5 together with the ribs 24 protruding into the combustion chamber 5.
[0008]
Thereafter, when the trigger switch 12 is turned on, the spark plug 9 sparks to ignite the mixed gas. The burned / expanded gas moves the piston 10 downward, drives a nail in the tail cover 1, and the state shown in FIG.
[0009]
In FIG. 6, the piston 10 is in contact with the bumper 2. Combustion gas is discharged from the exhaust hole 3 to the outside of the cylinder 4. The exhaust hole 3 is accompanied by a check valve. When the combustion gas is discharged to the outside of the cylinder 4 and the inside of the cylinder 4 and the combustion chamber 5 becomes atmospheric pressure, the check valve is closed. The combustion gas remaining in the cylinder 4 and the combustion chamber 5 is high temperature because it is after combustion, and the heat is absorbed from the inner wall of the cylinder 4 and the inner wall of the combustion chamber wall 15, whereby the combustion gas is rapidly cooled, The pressure in the closed space above the piston 10 is reduced to atmospheric pressure (referred to as thermal vacuum), and the piston 10 is pulled back to the initial top dead center position.
[0010]
After that, when the trigger switch 12 is turned off, the main body is lifted, and the push lever 21 is separated from the wood 27, the push lever 21 and the combustion chamber wall 15 return downward due to the spring bias, as shown in FIG. At this time, even if the fan 6 is turned off, the fan 6 continues to rotate for a predetermined time by a control unit (not shown). In the state shown in FIG. 7, gaps 25 and 26 are formed above and below the combustion chamber 5, and a flow 16 is generated by the fan 6 to scavenge the air after combustion. Thereafter, the fan 6 stops and enters an initial stationary state (FIG. 4).
[0011]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the gas nailer described above, when the piston 10 is pulled back by thermal vacuum after the nail is driven, the flow by the fan 6 is very weak below the cylinder 4 and the cooling efficiency in the cylinder 4 is poor. The return time of 10 is long, which greatly affects the repeated firing of nails.
[0012]
An object of the present invention is to improve the cooling efficiency in the cylinder by generating forced convection inside the cylinder, thereby shortening the return time of the piston and enabling repeated nail hitting.
[0013]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The purpose is to provide a flow control member between the cylinder and the combustion chamber so that the combustible gas combusted in the combustion chamber expands and generates a stirring flow when flowing into the cylinder, and the cylinder is cooled by forced convection by the stirring flow. Can be achieved.
[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The basic configuration is the same as the conventional example, and the combustion and scavenging operations are also the same as the conventional example.
[0015]
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, by installing a flow restricting member 17 between the combustion chamber 5 and the cylinder 4, the mixed gas is combusted and expanded in the combustion chamber 5 and flows into the cylinder 4. The flow is throttled and the flow velocity toward the lower side of the piston 10 is increased, whereby the stirring flow 18 is generated. Even after the piston 10 reaches the bottom dead center and the combustion gas is discharged from the exhaust hole 3, the stirring flow 18 remains in the cylinder 4 as an inertia flow and continues to stir. The heat transfer coefficient between the internal combustion gas and the inner wall of the cylinder 4 can be improved, and the combustion gas in the cylinder 4 can be efficiently cooled.
[0016]
FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention. A rotating vortex generating member 19 is provided between the combustion chamber 5 and the cylinder 4. A perspective view of the rotating vortex generating member 19 is shown in FIG. As in the above embodiment, the mixed gas is combusted and expanded in the combustion chamber 5 to generate a vortex-like stirring flow 20 along the inner wall of the cylinder 4 when flowing into the cylinder 4, and to continue a strong flow down to the cylinder 4. The heat transfer coefficient between the combustion gas in the cylinder 4 and the inner wall of the cylinder 4 is improved, and the cooling efficiency is increased.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the forced convection in the cylinder can improve the cooling efficiency, can quickly cause the thermal vacuum, shorten the return time of the piston, and can repeatedly hit the nail.
