Abstract
A method for controlling a nail-striking operation of an electric nail gun is proposed. The electric nail gun includes a control module and at least one switch. The at least one switch outputs a first switch signal that has a first voltage and a second switch signal that has a second voltage when triggered. The control module set a flag that corresponds to the at least one switch to a predetermined state upon determining that a striking condition is met. The striking condition includes that, for each of the at least one switch, the first switch signal has the first voltage and the second switch signal has the second voltage.
Claims11
A method for controlling a nail-striking operation of an electric nail gun, the electric nail gun including a control module, and at least one switch that is electrically connected to the control module, the control module having a flag that corresponds to the at least one switch, the method comprising steps of:
- A) by the control module, receiving a first switch signal and a second switch signal from each of the at least one switch, and determining whether a striking condition is met based on the first switch signal and the second switch signal received from each of the at least one switch, wherein each of the at least one switch is configured to output, when being triggered, the first switch signal having a first voltage and the second switch signal having a second voltage that is different from the first voltage, wherein the striking condition includes that, for each of the at least one switch, the first switch signal has the first voltage and the second switch signal has the second voltage, which indicates that all of the at least one switch is triggered;
- B) by the control module, upon determining that the striking condition is met, setting the flag to a first state indicating that the nail-striking operation is allowed;
- C) by the control module, upon determining that the striking condition is not met, setting the flag to a second state indicating that the nail-striking operation is not allowed;
- and
- D) by the control module, causing the electric nail gun to perform the nail-striking operation when the flag is set to the first state.
