Definitions

  • the invention relates to a setting tool for blind rivet nuts.
  • blind rivet nuts are stuck in holes preferably thin-walled workpieces that are not with a Thread can be provided, whereupon the with a flange to the Workpiece pressed blind rivet nuts are pulled so that on a Sollverformungsstelle on the side facing away from the flange side of the workpiece forms a bead of blind rivet nuts, so that the blind rivet nuts against rotation are attached to the workpiece.
  • Screws are screwed into the blind rivet nuts.
  • the present invention is based on the object, a simply constructed Specify setting tool for blind rivet nuts with which the blind rivet nuts can be securely locked in Holes thin-walled workpieces are to attach and with this secure Fixing is verifiable.
  • the setting tool has a single electric motor with a Drive shaft, which is located in a first housing part and a transmission with a laterally offset to the drive shaft, parallel to the Drive shaft extending tool housing part is connected, one in the Tool housing part arranged tool shaft, with a helical Tool rotatably connected, which from the front end of the Tool housing part protrudes, a locking device with which the Tool housing part and the tool shaft rotatably coupled to each other or but can be decoupled, an anti-rotation device, with the Tool shaft against rotation is blocked or release for rotation, and a spindle device which provides a relative axial movement between the Produces tool shaft with the tool and the tool housing part, when the tool shaft is blocked against rotation.
  • the tool housing part by means of a Piston / cylinder device is axially movable relative to the first housing part.
  • This piston / cylinder device preferably has two pneumatic Piston / cylinder units on whose pistons in opposite directions are movable to the tool housing part with the tool shaft and the Axially advance the tool in the direction of the workpiece or from the Retract workpiece.
  • the Piston / cylinder device allows a slow, controlled insertion of Blind rivet nut in the provided hole of the workpiece, wherein a stroke of about 100 mm is provided. While the one piston / cylinder unit the Tool housing part, the screw tool located therein and the thereon taken blind rivet nut so in the direction of the workpiece, that the Blind rivet nut is inserted into the hole, the other piston / cylinder unit active to raise this whole arrangement again, if for example the Hole in the workpiece has been missed.
  • the transmission device with which the rotation of the drive shaft of the electric motor is transferred to the tool housing part preferably contains a first Pulley, which is non-rotatably mounted on the drive shaft, one with the Tool housing part rotatably connected second pulley, which also characterized may be formed, that a portion of the circumference of the tool housing part may be integrally provided with teeth, and a timing belt, the torque transfers from the first pulley to the second pulley. It is with great advantage provided that the first pulley on the drive shaft axially is slidably mounted, so that the whole gear together with the Tool housing part is reciprocable.
  • the locking device with the the tool housing part with the tool shaft for common rotation can be locked, preferably a surrounding the tool housing part Locking sleeve by an actuator between a Locking position and a release position axially along the Tool housing part is reciprocable, as well as several balls, respectively with a ball portion in cutouts in the wall of the tool housing part sit and with the rest of the ball section either radially inside in pockets of Engage tool shaft or protrude radially outward.
  • the piston of a pneumatic piston / cylinder device so is retracted that the front end portion of the locking sleeve, the a radial gap between the outer wall of the tool housing part leaves open, is arranged on the windows, the balls are preferably by lateral Slanting the pockets of the tool shaft radially outward and out of engagement with pressed the tool shaft, so that the tool housing part relative to the Tool shaft is freely rotatable.
  • an anti-rotation device for the tool shaft which preferably sits axially behind the tool shaft in this embodiment and on a polygon, such as square of the tool shaft can act so that the tool shaft is blocked.
  • This spindle device preferably consists of a ball rolling nut, the is firmly connected to the tool housing part, and a ball screw, the integral part of the tool shaft. Between the ball nut and the Ball screw are arranged several balls.
  • a rotatable support sleeve or a rotatable support ring is mounted, from which the Protruding tool.
  • the setting tool operates as follows: First, a Blind rivet nut screwed onto the screwdriver by the electric motor the tool housing part and thus rotatably coupled screwing tool rotates. This "screwing" the blind rivet nut ends when the flange of Blind rivet nut the rotatable support sleeve at the head end of the tool housing part achieved, the rotation of the support sleeve prevents the blind rivet with large force is pressed against the support sleeve.
  • the rotationally fixed coupling between the tool housing part and the tool shaft released by the locking sleeve pneumatically is withdrawn, so that the balls from the pockets of the tool shaft can escape.
  • the anti-rotation device is effective by her Cylinder is extended, and the square of the tool shaft overlaps, so that the shaft is no longer rotatable. If the electric motor is now the ball nut of the Tool housing part rotates, the tool shaft with the screw tool axially moved back from the workpiece, resulting in the desired deformation point the blind rivet nut forms the desired bead and the blind rivet nut is tension resistant and is rotationally fixed to the workpiece.
  • the applied torque can be detected and calculated from the pulling force with which the blind rivet nut was anchored in the hole. About the angle, around which the ball nut has been turned, the pulling distance can be determined.
  • the anti-rotation device and the locking device by a common coupling device formed by the in a first axial Position of a coupling element the tool shaft rotation with the rotatable Tool housing part and in a second axial position of the coupling element can be coupled with a stationary housing part.
  • the tool shaft with a Multi-Kant approach preferably four-Kant approach, displaceable one accordingly shaped through hole of the coupling element passes through.
  • the coupling element is preferably with a pneumatic piston to the common connected axial displacement. It is also envisaged that the Coupling element has a front conical coupling surface, in the first axial Position of the coupling element against a corresponding conical surface of rotatable tool housing part is pressed, and a rearward conical Coupling surface in the second axial position of Coupling element against a corresponding conical surface of a stationary Housing part is pressed.
  • a drive shaft 2 of an electric motor not shown in the figure rotatable stored.
  • the electric motor is at the left in the figure, the end of the drive shaft. 2 arranged and attached to the housing part 1.
  • the drive shaft 2 has a portion 3, for example, the cross-sectional shape has a polygon.
  • a first pulley 4 whose Bore a matching with the outer contour of section 3 inner contour has, so that the pulley 4 rotatably connected to the drive shaft 2, but on sits longitudinally displaceable section 3.
  • a tool housing part 9 is rotatably mounted, with a second pulley is rotatably connected.
  • a timing belt 10 transmits the Rotary movement of the drive shaft 2 of the pulley 4 on the pulley of the Tool housing part 9.
  • a tool shaft 11 Within the tool housing part 9 sits concentrically a tool shaft 11, the at its right in the figure right end with a screw tool 12 rotatably connected is.
  • the tool housing part 9 and the tool shaft 11 are through Balls 13 rotatably coupled to each other when these balls 13, each with a Ball section in lateral pockets 14 of the tool shaft 11 engage, as in Figures 1 and 3B is shown.
  • the balls 13 sit both in the common rotation of the Tool housing part 9 with the tool shaft 11 locked state and in the unlocked state shown in Figure 3A partially in windows 15 in the Wall of the tool housing part 9.
