  • Publication number: 20230405782
    Abstract: An electric power tool includes a motor, a lifter, a firing pin, an electromagnet, a driving circuit, a latch, and a controller. The lifter is driven by the motor to drive the firing pin to perform a firing action. The driving circuit provides electric current to excite the electromagnet. The latch is moved by the electromagnet from a blocking position where the latch blocks the firing pin to move in a firing direction to a non-blocking position where the latch does not block the firing pin when the electromagnet is in an excited state. The controller, during an excitement period, controls the driving circuit to provide constant current for a first time period to excite the electromagnet to the excited state, and provide pulsating current for a second time period to keep the electromagnet in the excited state.

  • Publication number: 20160368126
    Abstract: A nail gun includes a gun body, a safety unit, a detecting member and a blocking unit. The gunbody defines a firing path and a guiding groove therein. The safety unit is movable relative to the gun body. The detecting member and the blocking unit are disposed on the firing seat. When both the firing path and the guiding groove receive nail therein, the detecting member abuts against the nail in the guiding groove and is spaced apart from the nail in the firing path, and the blocking unit permits the movement of the safety member relative to the gun body. When the firing path and the guiding groove are empty, the detecting member is inserted into the firing path, and the blocking unit hinders the movement of the safety member relative to the gun body.
