Abstract

A driving device includes an electric motor, a striking unit configured to strike a fastener by moving to a lower side in an up-down direction, a biasing unit configured to bias the striking unit to the lower side in the up-down direction, and a rotating unit configured to move the striking unit to an upper side in the up-down direction and including first to third gears. The rotating unit includes a wheel and a plurality of engaging portions provided so as to be engageable with the striking unit, and the plurality of engaging portions include a second pin and a third pin that are engaged with the striking unit when the striking unit is moved to the upper side in the up-down direction and a stopper pin that is not engaged with the striking unit when the striking unit is moved to the upper side in the up-down direction.

First claim

1 . A working machine comprising:
a driving source; a striking unit configured to be able to strike a fastener by moving to one side in a first direction; a biasing unit configured to bias the striking unit to the one side in the first direction; and a rotating unit configured to be rotated by a driving force of the driving source, thereby moving the striking unit to the other side in the first direction, wherein the rotating unit includes a base unit and a plurality of engaging portions provided on the base unit so as to be engageable with the striking unit, and wherein the plurality of engaging portions include:
a first engaging portion that is engaged with the striking unit when the striking unit is moved to the other side in the first direction; and
a second engaging portion that is not engaged with the striking unit when the striking unit is moved to the other side in the first direction.

2 . The working machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second engaging portion is engaged with the striking unit when the first engaging portion and the striking unit are disengaged from each other and the striking unit is moved to the one side in the first direction.

3 . The working machine according to claim 2 , further comprising an operation unit that is operated by a worker,
wherein the first engaging portion includes a first protruding portion and a second protruding portion different from the first protruding portion, and wherein the striking unit is engaged with the first protruding portion in a standby state in which the operation unit is not operated.

4 . The working machine according to claim 3 ,
wherein a standby position at which the striking unit is disposed in the standby state is between a top dead center position and a bottom dead center position in movement of the striking unit in the first direction.

5 . The working machine according to claim 4 , further comprising an injection unit configured to support the fastener to be struck by the striking unit,
wherein the striking unit is located on the other side in the first direction relative to the fastener supported by the injection unit at the standby position.

6 . The working machine according to claim 4 ,
wherein the striking unit includes a first engaged portion that is engaged with the second protruding portion, and wherein the first engaged portion does not overlap with the second protruding portion as viewed in the first direction and overlaps with the second engaging portion as viewed in the first direction at the standby position.

7 . The working machine according to claim 6 ,
wherein the first protruding portion is engaged with a second engaged portion provided on the striking unit when the striking unit is moved to the other side in the first direction, and wherein the second engaging portion is not engageable with the second engaged portion.

8 . The working machine according to claim 3 ,
wherein the second engaging portion is disposed on a rear side of the second protruding portion in a rotating direction of the rotating unit.

9 . The working machine according to claim 3 ,
wherein the second engaging portion and the second protruding portion are made of members having the same shape.

10 . A working machine comprising:
a driving source; a striking unit configured to be able to strike a fastener by moving to one side in a first direction; a biasing unit configured to bias the striking unit to the one side in the first direction; and a rotating unit configured to be rotated by a driving force of the driving source, thereby moving the striking unit to the other side in the first direction, wherein the rotating unit includes a base unit and first and second engaging portions provided on the base unit so as to be engageable with the striking unit, wherein the rotating unit moves the striking unit to a top dead center position by rotating in a state where the first engaging portion and the striking unit are engaged, and allows the striking unit to strike the fastener by disengaging the first engaging portion and the striking unit after the striking unit reaches the top dead center position, and wherein the second engaging portion is engaged with the striking unit when the first engaging portion and the striking unit are disengaged from each other before the striking unit reaches the top dead center position after the first engaging portion and the striking unit are engaged.
