  • Publication number: 20250121483
    Abstract: The invention discloses a swinging brake of electric nail gun for restraining a striker to return to a standard position after shooting the nail. The swinging brake is elastically pivoted on a swing seat of a gun frame, and is extended to form a braking end. The braking end can butt a stopping part on the gun frame when a power flywheel driven by the swing seat is at an idle position, so as to restrain the striker that has returned to the standard position. The braking end can also be driven by the swing seat to leave the stopping part when the power flywheel swings to a transmission position, so that the striker can be released from the standard position to slide along the nailing axial direction to shoot the nail. In this way, the striker in an electric nail gun configured with a swinging power flywheel is improved to accurately return to the standard position after nailing.
