  • Publication number: 20240139990
    Abstract: An internal rotor type nail drive device of electric nail gun, comprising a nailing rod and an internal rotor type rotary actuator that can output a specific rotation angle and can drive the nailing rod to move downward for nailing. Specifically, the rotary actuator comprises a stator and a rotor arranged inside the stator, even groups of electromagnetic mutual action components are configured in pairs between the stator and the rotor, to generate a tangential force to drive the rotor to rotate for a specific rotation angle, and to drive the nailing rod to move for a nailing stroke. The nailing stroke can be determined by a specific rotation angle. Thus, through the above configuration of the rotary actuator, the structure of the electric nail gun can be simplified, and the kinetic energy for nailing can be increased.
