1. A force-limiting and damping device comprising:
a body, being an elongated shaft and having
a front end;
a rear end;
a connecting segment formed on and protruding from the front end of the body and having
a top side;
a bottom side;
an external surface; and
a mounting hole formed through the top side and the bottom side of the connecting segment; and
a holding segment formed on the rear end of the body and being opposite the connecting segment;
a tapping element connected to the body to move relative to the connecting segment and having
a mounting segment movably connected to the mounting hole of the connecting segment;
a tapping segment disposed on an end of the mounting segment below the connecting segment; and
a fixing segment connected to the mounting segment and abutting the connecting segment;
a shock-absorbing element mounted on the mounting segment, abutting the connecting segment of the body and the tapping segment of the tapping element, and having a preset compression force; and
wherein when a tapping force is smaller than the preset compression force of the shock-absorbing element, the tapping segment generates an instant rebound, and when the tapping force is larger than the preset compression force of the shock-absorbing element, the tapping segment generates a delayed rebound;
a limiting module mounted between the body and the tapping element and having
a sleeve element formed on and protruding from the bottom side of the connecting segment and having a through hole formed through the sleeve element and communicating with the mounting hole of the connecting segment;
a positioning seat formed on a connecting position between the mounting segment and the tapping segment, and disposed below the sleeve element at a spaced interval; and
a force-limiting element non-contacted with the shock-absorbing element;
wherein the force-limiting element is mounted on the mounting segment between the sleeve element and the positioning seat;
wherein the force-limiting and damping device has at least two-stage force-limiting reminding effect when in use, a first stage of force identification is determined by whether the shock-absorbing element is compressed between the connecting segment and the tapping segment, and a second stage of force identification is determined by whether the force-limiting element is compressed between the connecting segment and the tapping segment.
