Definitions

  • the invention relates to a radial press for essentially cylindrical workpieces, consisting of a plurality of plungers which can be displaced in radial guides, the radially inner end of which is designed to accommodate press jaws, and toggle levers which are pivotally mounted at one end on a plunger and with the other Grasp the end of a pressure ring, and a pressure ring concentrically encompassing the tappets and toggle levers, which can be rotated about its central axis.
  • the present invention has therefore set itself the task of creating a radial press of the type mentioned, with which pressings can be carried out even at high pressures without causing the tilting
  • this is achieved in that at least the tappets and the toggle levers and, if appropriate, also those arranged between two 5 tappets, which
  • the mutual rotary bearing can thus lie within the radial guides, so that the tappet cannot tilt even under great forces when the pressure builds up accordingly. Due to the arrangement of support rings on both sides, they only have to take over the lateral guidance of the tappets, and there is no load in this direction. Due to the guide blocks used between the two bearing rings, the tappets are securely guided over a large part of their length and it is therefore also possible to practically mount the pressure ring on the outer boundary of the support rings. It is possible in a simple manner to make the pressure ring so stable that the forces acting on the outside can easily be absorbed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a radial press according to the invention in a front view; shown partially cut away;
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the radial press, also shown partially cut away.
  • Fig. 3 is a front view of the radial press, similar to the illustration in Fig. 1, with the two end positions of
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a detail with knee lever and plunger as well as pressure ring and guide blocks.
  • Fig. 5 is a front view of the pressure ring;
  • Fig. 6 shows a section along the line I - I in Fig. 5;
  • Figure 7 is an oblique view of a portion of a plunger and a toggle lever cooperating therewith.
  • 8 shows a section through a partial area of the radial press, a partial section of a ram and a toggle lever being shown;
  • Fig. 9 in an oblique view a slider for insertion between the support ring and pressure ring;
  • Fig. 10 in a schematic representation of a measuring device for the exact determination of the pinch dimension.
  • the radial press according to the invention is suitable for pressing essentially cylindrical workpieces, metallic fittings being pressed onto the ends of pressure hoses, for example.
  • Such a radial press can of course also be used for any other type of pressing in which any workpiece with an essentially cylindrical design is to be pressed in the radial direction.
  • the radial press essentially consists of a plurality of plungers 2 which can be displaced in radial guides 1 and whose radially inner end is designed to receive press jaws. Furthermore, toggle levers 4 are provided, which with one end are pivotably mounted on a respective plunger 2 and with their other end on a pressure ring 5. The pressure ring 5 is held rotatable about its central axis and concentrically comprises the plunger 2 and toggle lever 4.
  • At least the plunger 2 and the toggle lever 4 are formed from a plurality of plates 6 or tabs 7 which follow one another in the axial direction.
  • the plunger 2 and the toggle lever 4 as well as the toggle lever 4 and the pressure ring 5 engage in a comb-like manner in the region of the mutual bearing bolts 8 and 9.
  • each tab 7 of the toggle lever 4 is supported laterally over its entire length, and the same also applies to the individual plates 6 of the plungers 2.
  • the radial guides 1 forming guide blocks 11 for the plunger 2 are mutually fixed on both ends by a support ring 12 and 13 respectively. On these support rings 12, 13 there is also the concentrically arranged pressure ring
  • the tabs 7 of the toggle levers 4 are delimited at both ends concentrically to the bores 14, 15 for the bearing bolts 8 and 9 by an arc 16, 17, these individual tabs 7 having a width B corresponding to the diameter of the arc over their entire length. It is therefore possible in a simple manner to punch these individual tabs 7 from a strip material.
  • the plates 6 for the plunger 2 and the tabs 7 for the toggle lever 4 have the same width A and B and are preferably also of the same thickness, so that this in turn has a very significant effect on mass production. This is also an important factor for the transmission of forces, since the toggle levers 4 and the plungers 2 have the same pressure and buckling strength and also intermesh with one another like a comb.
  • the platelets 6 forming the plunger 2 are made approximately rectangular, the radially inner ends having a wedge-shaped taper 17 on both sides. This special design at the radially inner end region means that the plungers 2 can be moved relatively far towards the center without adjacent plungers immediately interfering with one another.
  • the platelets 6 forming the plungers 2 have at their radially inner ends a recess 19 provided with grooves 18 undercut on both sides on, this Ausnhemung 19 for positive and axially displaceable receiving the correspondingly designed press jaws on the back
  • the construction depth of the radial press is practically variable by the construction according to the invention, that is to say the press length can be varied, there is now also the possibility of practically producing the press jaws 3 from a rod-shaped profile material, in which case the required length is simply cut off.
  • the plunger 2 is formed as a uniform, stable body, namely if the plate 6 and the intermediate layers 21 are firmly connected, preferably riveted.
  • the intermediate layers 21 are only in the form of narrow, rectangular plates. Within the scope of the invention, it would be conceivable that these intermediate layers 21 correspond in shape and size to the radially inner ends of the plates Chen 6 are executed, so that these intermediate layers 21 to support and guide the press jaws 3 contribute.
  • the guide blocks 11 are at least in the area of the radial guide 1 on one side above the Pivoting area of the tabs 7 provided with slot-like incisions 25 so that blocks 11 between the tabs 7 of the toggle lever 4 and the guide are given a mutual, comb-like engagement. It is therefore a safe support of the individual tabs 7 of the toggle lever 4 is guaranteed even with a press, in which the toggle lever 4 does not have to be pivoted up to the extended position relative to the plunger 2, so that there can be no buckling loads.
  • Guide blocks 11 made of individual, successive plates 26 and 27, these individual plates 26 and 27 having at least two, preferably three through bores 28 so that they are fixed to one another and to the support rings 12, 13 by means of tension screws passing from the support ring 13 to the support ring 12 can.
  • the guide blocks 11 are in turn formed by this screw into stiff structures, whereby the special arrangement of whole plates 26 and the boundary 29 of the incisions 25 forming plates 27 makes it possible to pivot the tabs 7 forming the toggle lever 4, but nevertheless by the full-size plate 26 of the guide blocks 1T a guide of the plunger 2 is possible in the area of the plate 6 over the entire length of these guide blocks 11.
  • the pressure ring 5 can be designed as a drop-forged part with slots 30 milled in the region of the engagement of the tabs 7 of the toggle levers 4 and bores 31 running parallel to the axis for receiving the bearing bolts 9 of the toggle levers 4. Processing in a milling process and a drilling process are then required.
  • the second design variant is, in accordance with the design of the plunger 2 and the toggle lever 4, also to build up the pressure ring 5 from individual stamped parts, the one stamped parts having inwardly projecting bearing eyes with the bores 31 for receiving the bearing bolts 9 and the stamped parts used in between with a thickness approximately corresponding to the thickness of the tabs 7 of the toggle levers 4 have arcuate indentations 32 for delimiting the slots 30 for the engagement of the tabs 7 of the toggle lever 4.
  • a correspondingly heavy punching device is necessary for such correspondingly large parts for the production of the pressure ring 5 from individual punched parts, but this variant is also to be classified as a simple and inexpensive design option in connection with the structural design of the push rod 2 and the toggle lever 4.
  • the support rings 12, 13 are firmly connected to a machine frame 35, preferably screwed.
  • a hydraulic cylinder 36 is held pivotably about the supporting bolt 37, the actuating rod 38 of the piston of the hydraulic cylinder 36 engaging a bearing eye 40 which projects radially from the pressure ring 5.
  • the hydraulic cylinder 36 could be designed as a double-acting hydraulic cylinder.
  • At least one tension spring (not shown) can then be connected in parallel to the hydraulic cylinder for returning the pressure ring 5 to the rest position.
  • the required hydraulic pump 41 can also be arranged at the same axis as this.
  • the control of the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic cylinder is not shown separately, since various technical options are available here.
  • sliding pieces 44 are advantageously used between the outer boundary 42 of the support rings 12, 13 and the supporting regions 43 of the pressure ring.
  • These sliding pieces 44 consist of a sliding section 45 adapted to the cylindrical outer surface 42 of the support rings 12, 13 and a web 46 projecting at right angles thereto in the direction of the pressure ring 5.
  • This web 46 engages in a supported area 43 of the pressure ring 5.
  • an incision 48 is provided at corresponding points on the bearing pin 9, in which the free end portion of the projecting web 46 engages.
  • These sliding pieces 44 can be made from a bearing material, but advantageously made from plastic.
  • Both support rings 12 and 13 have a central opening 50 and 51, respectively, in order thereby to be able to pass the workpieces to be pressed through the radial press without hindrance. At least one of the support rings 12 has a central opening 50 with a diameter that allows the axially parallel displacement of the
  • Press jaws 3 enables in order to be able to carry out a simple and rapid exchange of the press jaws 3.
  • the boundary of the opening 50 in the support ring 12 has a stop collar 52 on which a corresponding stop collar 56 of an insertable retaining ring 57 is supported.
  • the locking ring 57 then causes the pressing jaws 3 to be secured against displacement in the longitudinal direction thereof.
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 8 Another possibility is shown in particular in FIGS. 1, 2 and 8.
  • protruding lugs 58, 59 are attached to the edge area of the opening 50 of the support ring 12 in this central opening 50, which for example carry spring-loaded bolts 16 or balls.
  • the first one Lugs 59 can, as can be seen in FIG. 1, be part of the machine frame 35.
  • the locking ring has incisions 61 at points corresponding to the lugs 58 and 59, so that the locking ring 57 can be pushed backwards against the stop on the support ring 12 via the lugs 58 and 59 protruding into the openings 50.
  • the spring-loaded bolts 60 or corresponding spring-loaded balls which are provided on the projecting lugs 58 and 59, can then snap into recesses provided laterally next to the incisions 61 in the locking ring 57.
  • a positive and non-positive mounting of the locking ring 57 is therefore ensured, the locking ring 57 can nevertheless be quickly removed if necessary.
  • the individual parts of the radial press according to the present invention for example the plate 6 of the plunger 2, the tabs 7 and toggle lever 4, the individual plate 26 and 27 of the guide blocks 11 and with the corresponding production of the pressure ring 5 from stamped parts, can expediently from a corresponding Hardened steel are manufactured, whereby steel alloys can also be used depending on the requirements and requirements for strength and the mutual sliding properties.
  • Fig. 10 an embodiment is shown schematically, from which it can be seen that a very simple and exact determination of the crushing mass is also possible precisely by the construction according to the invention. An exact measurement is possible on two diametrically opposed plungers, so that a constant pressing process can be maintained. Two corresponding measuring points are therefore provided on two plungers located opposite one another.
  • the two plungers 2 have measuring pins 70 and 71 in the area of the solid body formed by platelets 6 and intermediate layers 21, which cooperate with a measuring device 72 and possibly a switching device.
  • a switch-off process for the radial press can thus also be connected to the measuring process.
  • the measuring device 72 is expediently designed as a linear displacement meter, in order thereby to achieve an exact measurement. This measuring device 72 is then connected to the free ends (bolts 77 and 78) of the band spring parts 73 and 74 which lie approximately parallel to one another.
  • micrometer with a limit switch instead of a linear displacement meter.
  • a corresponding unit of measurement for the squeezing process can then be specified in the radial press, whereupon after this size has been reached, the switch-off triggered by the micrometer takes place.

Abstract

La presse radiale décrite comporte des coulisseaux (2) qui sont maintenus coulissants dans des guidage radiaux (1) et présentent des mâchoires (3) sur leurs extrémités intérieures radiales. Chaque guidage radial (1) est formé de blocs de guidage (11) agencés entre deux coulisseaux (2) et solidaires d'anneaux porteurs (12) disposés sur la face frontale. De plus, les anneaux porteurs (12) sont entourés d'un anneau de pression concentrique (5) pouvant subir une torsion par rapport auxdits anneaux porteurs (12). Le coulisseau (2) est poussé vers l'avant par un levier articulé (4) relié aux coulisseaux (2) par des axes de support (8) et à l'anneau de pression (5) par des axes de support (9). Un bâti de machine (35) est solidarisé aux anneaux porteurs (12). Un vérin hydraulique (36) qui agit sur un oeillet de support (40) de l'anneau de pression (5) fait subir une torsion à ce dernier par rapport aux anneaux porteurs (12), imprimant ainsi un mouvement de va-et-vient aux coulisseaux (2) et à leurs mâchoires (3).
