Patent attributes
A rotation direction switching device of a pneumatic tool includes a valve sleeve, an intake valve and a control member disposed in a tool body. Under a condition that a pivot connecting portion of the control member is pivotally connected to a pivot shaft of the tool body and each driving portion of the control member can drive a driven portion of the intake valve, the control member can drive the intake valve in an arc trajectory to rotate, so that when the control member is in the forward or the reverse rotation control position, the vent of the intake valve is in communication with corresponding one of clockwise and the reverse rotation holes of the valve sleeve, so as to control the pneumatic tool to rotate forward or reversely. Therefore, the assembly cost and production cost can be effectively reduced.
