Abstract
A pneumatic nail gun includes a striking device, a lifting wheel, a motor that is configured to drive the lifting wheel to rotate to lift the striking device, and a control device. The control device includes a microcontroller, and a sensor configured to output a sensing signal when detecting that the lifting wheel is at a predetermined angular position where the lifting wheel has lifted the striking device to arrive at a ready-to-strike position. The microcontroller controls the motor to drive the lifting wheel to rotate to lift the striking device when the sensing signal is not received, and controls the motor to stop the lifting wheel from rotating upon receiving the sensing signal from the sensor.

An operation method for a pneumatic nail gun, the pneumatic nail gun including a striking device, a lifting wheel, a motor that is configured to drive the lifting wheel to rotate to lift the striking device, and a control device that includes a microcontroller and a wheel sensor electrically connected to the microcontroller, the wheel sensor being configured to generate and output a sensing signal to the microcontroller when detecting that the lifting wheel is at a predetermined angular position where the lifting wheel has lifted the striking device to arrive at a ready-to-strike position, the operation method being implemented by the microcontroller and comprising steps of:
- when the pneumatic nail gun is powered on, determining whether the sensing signal is received from the wheel sensor;
- controlling the motor to drive the lifting wheel to rotate to lift the striking device when it is determined that the sensing signal is not received;
- and
- controlling the motor to stop the lifting wheel from rotating upon receiving the sensing signal from the wheel sensor.
A pneumatic nail gun, comprising:
- a main body;
- a cylinder device that is disposed in said main body;
- a striking device that is movably disposed in said cylinder device;
- a lifting wheel that is configured to move said striking device;
- a motor that is configured to drive said lifting wheel to rotate to lift said striking device;
- and
- a control device that includes a microcontroller and a wheel sensor electrically connected to said microcontroller,
- wherein said wheel sensor is configured to generate and output a sensing signal to said microcontroller when detecting that said lifting wheel is at a predetermined angular position where said lifting wheel has lifted said striking device to arrive at a ready-to-strike position,
- wherein said microcontroller is configured to determine whether the sensing signal is received from said wheel sensor when said pneumatic nail gun is powered on, to control said motor to drive said lifting wheel to rotate to lift said striking device when it is determined that the sensing signal is not received, and to control said motor to stop said lifting wheel from rotating upon receiving the sensing signal from said wheel sensor.
