Abstract
A sanding disc stabilizing structure of an orbital sander comprises a casing, a sanding power source, a sanding disc, and at least four springs. The sanding power source is assembled on the casing and comprises a drive shaft and a tool holder disposed on the drive shaft and offset from an axis of the drive shaft. The center of the sanding disc driven by the sanding power source to perform an orbital motion is disposed on the tool holder with a locking screw. Two ends of each of the at least four springs are respectively disposed on the casing and the sanding disc. The free length of each of at least four springs is greater than the spacing between an installation part of the casing and an installation part of the sanding disc provided for one of the at least four springs.

A sanding disc stabilizing structure of an orbital sander, comprising:
- a casing, provided with a plurality of first installation holes;
- a sanding power source, assembled in the casing and the sanding power source comprising a drive shaft and a tool holder disposed on the drive shaft and offset from an axis of the drive shaft;
- a sanding disc, a center of the sanding disc disposed on the tool holder with a locking screw, the sanding disc comprising a base disc and a sanding pad disposed on the base disc, the base disc formed with a plurality of second installation holes on a side facing the casing, and the sanding disc driven by the sanding power source to perform an orbital motion relative to the casing;
- and
- at least four springs, each of the at least four springs comprising a first end disposed in one of the plurality of first installation holes of the casing and a second end disposed in one of the plurality of second installation holes of the sanding disc, wherein a free length of each of the at least four springs is greater than a spacing between the first installation hole of the casing and the second installation hole of the sanding disk, so that the at least four springs are compressed within the spacing, and wherein each of the at least four springs is incompletely compressed in the spacing, and during the orbital motion of the sanding disc, each of the at least four springs is extended when the second end thereof deviates from a projection position of the first end;
- wherein the plurality of first installation holes and/or the plurality of second installation holes is provided with a plurality of rubber sleeves, and the first end and/or the second end of the at least four springs are respectively disposed in the plurality of rubber sleeves;
- wherein each of the plurality of rubber sleeves comprises a cap placed into the plurality of first installation holes or the plurality of second installation holes, and a flange extending from a periphery of the cap and disposed at an opening edge of the plurality of first installation holes or the plurality of second installation holes.
