Definitions
- the invention relates to a pressing tool according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for cold forming joining according to the preamble of claim 20.
- Such pressing tools are also available as press chains, press slings or press rings known and are used in particular for connecting pieces of pipe.
- the pipe ends to be connected are placed in a deformable sleeve, a so-called press fitting.
- a so-called press fitting For cold forming joining one first press jaws like a cuff that is open at one point remains around the press fitting, leaving the two in the open position Chain ends of the pressing tool face each other.
- the initiation of Driving forces cause the two chain ends to contract.
- the inner sides of the press jaws become an annular stop Press room merged and the cold forming forces on the press fitting transfer.
- EP 627273 describes a pressing tool with more than two pressing jaws, which in a link guide are partially movable in the circumferential direction, whereby the Press jaws are arranged evenly over the circumference and thus one enable uniform radial distribution of the forming forces and a Prevent burr formation between the press links.
- press tools are required for cold-formed Pipe connections with larger outer cross-sectional diameters, in particular for pipe systems with high internal pressure loads, more than two Pressing jaws.
- a "leakage" of the press fitting or the formation of a Press burrs between the end faces of the press jaws when closing the Press tool can be prevented, which means a complete closing and thus connected has made reliable connections impossible.
- EP 0 361 630 discloses a press fitting consisting of a plurality of jaws which are in the closed state have a lemon-shaped cross section. It deals However, this device is not actually a pressing tool Senses, and the jaws are therefore not hinged connected to each other.
- EP 0 426 378 discloses a similar device, again with unconnected molds.
- US 4,426,761 discloses a clamping device for exhaust pipes, consisting of a ring and two dies with a bolt be held together.
- DE 198 03 536 discloses a pressing tool with several pressing members, wherein an attempt is made here to form the burr by interlocking teeth to prevent the press jaws.
- Such pressing tools are for example in DE 4240427 and EP 922537, also described in so-called self-retaining designs, the itself before the introduction of the driving forces by spring elements pull the pre-tensioning forces together and therefore not in the alternative to Example with one hand, must be held on the workpiece in order to To prevent slipping or falling off the connection point.
- the invention has for its object to provide an easy to use to create a structurally simple and flexible pressing tool or a method for cold-forming joining of nested Describe workpieces, which is a safe and reliable connection of workpieces with larger external cross-sectional shapes as well Connections with relatively extensive cold forming possible.
- Such Crimping tools should also be usable in confined spaces and, if necessary, grasp the workpieces to be joined in a friction-resistant manner.
- the pressing tool according to the invention is designed with two arms, the press jaws also being advantageous for forwarding the introduced ones Driving forces are used.
- the press jaws must face each other be movably connected, wherein the connecting ends of the Press jaws over bearing bolts as structurally simple and reliable Connection concept has proven.
- the cold forming forces exerted by the press jaws on the workpieces are triggered by drive forces introduced into the tool.
- areas of attack - such as recesses, holes, projections, Eyelets, hooks, etc. - at at least one point on the press tool provided. These can be on the non-bearing ends of press jaws for attaching an optionally connectable drive device to be appropriate.
- a pressing tool according to the invention exercises on the inside of the Press jaws apply the cold forming forces on the workpieces in such a way that when the pressing jaws move against each other, the outer "runs out” Workpiece and thus the formation of a burr between the Press jaws is largely prevented. So that the front
- the inside edges of the press jaws do not cut into the workpiece and thereby trigger a burr formation are at least one-sided, optionally also on both sides, for example in the on the end faces bordering areas of the insides widening recesses as after angled on the outside, for example widening towards the end faces Bevels provided.
- the insides can face the front Inside edges both angled outwards and convex, if necessary, gradually curved towards the inside edges, run outward. Those who break away to the outside, if necessary, angled, insides can than to the front Adjacent chamfers be formed on the inside edges. This angled lead-in chamfers are preferred depending on the processing flat, but can also be slightly concavely curved. if the Insertion bevels are slightly concave, their curvature is less strongly formed than that of the rest of the inside, e.g. B.
- one Shell surface segment of a rotating body possibly also less than the outer cross-sectional diameter of the outer workpiece before the Cold forming, while the curvature of the inside of the Inner side areas adjoining insertion bevels at least approximately the remaining outer cross-sectional diameter of the cold-formed Workpiece corresponds.
- the bevels on the inside are on your front inside edges so shaped that when applied to the Do not work the inside with the front inside edges sit on, but inside, possibly tangentially, optionally spaced from the front inside edges, on Fit the outer jacket of the workpiece.
- the extent of the outward angling of the outer end face Inner side areas depend on the outer cross-sectional diameter of the respective workpieces assigned to the pressing tool.
- Entry bevels for example at an angle of 5 to 25 ° to the outside be angled to the directly adjacent lateral surface.
- At least two are required for the function of a pressing tool according to the invention Press jaws necessary.
- the two press jaws can be moved by one common bearing pin can be mounted, the bearing pin if necessary is eccentric.
- An eccentrically designed bearing pin causes that when the pressing tool is opened, the non-bearing end faces of the Press jaws experience an additional translational movement apart. As a result, the necessary opening angle for a circumference of Workpieces and the distance between the end faces in the preloaded state of the Tool can be reduced.
- the two press jaws can also have two in one bearing bracket Hinge pins are stored individually.
- at least one bearing pin can be formed eccentrically.
- the Both bearing bolts are both rigid and rigid in the bearing bracket can be stored coupled together. For example, to move relative A guide slot is provided in the bearing bracket for each bearing pin be along which the bearing pins are displaceable, and if necessary the Bearing pin to be connected via a guide linkage.
- the eccentric design of the bearing bolts and the individual bearings of the Press jaws are also suitable for those embodiments in which the Inner sides of the press jaws do not have lateral surface segments of Have rotational bodies, i.e. that the press tool in the closed Instead of an annular space, it has a polygonal or oval shape encloses trained space.
