Definitions

  • the present invention refers to locking devices of the articulated lever type provided with a clamping arm which can swing in order to allow to clamp workpieces with respect to the body of the device.
  • the invention relates to a control unit for controlling the angular end-of-stroke positions of the clamping arm of such a device, of the type defined in the preamble of appended claim 1.
  • Such a control unit is known from EP-803 331, and it comprises a support member for supporting a pair of sensors, typically micro-switches for example of the inductive or pneumatic type, which are removably associated to the support member in order to allow the adjustment of their mutual distance, which sensors are intended to sense the passing close to them of an appendage extending from a the rod which controls the movement of the arm.
  • the angular end-of-stroke positions of the clamping arm can be adjusted by changing the respective position of the sensors on the support member.
  • the support member to which the sensors are associated can be inserted in a long and narrow slot extending longitudinally at the rear zone of the body of the device, in order to close sealingly the slot with the aim to prevent penetration inside the body of extraneous elements coming from the external environment.
  • control unit of the invention in addition to have a simple and reliable structure, allows to adjust the end-of-stroke positions of the clamping arm without any need to remove the sensor support member, so that the sensors are not exposed to any risk of damaging and no effect is produced on the sealing exerted by the support member with respect to the edges of the opening of the body in which it is inserted, which makes therefore the adjusting operation of the end-of-stroke of the swing of the arm at the same time much faster and simple.
  • the opening in correspondence of which the support member is arranged does not have an elongated shape such as to affect a large zone of a face of the body of the device, but can have a more compact shape the extension of which is considerably smaller than that of the entire support member, so that the influence of the opening on the design requirements of the body of the device is reduced.
  • a locking device of the articulated lever type which can be used for clamping workpieces, is indicated 1 as a whole.
  • a generally fork shaped clamping arm 12 is associated to the body 2 of device 1 and is fastened to the square sectioned ends of a shaft 16 by means of U-shaped locking members 14.
  • the arm 12 can swing between a preset opening position (one of which is shown by solid lines in figure 1) and a closing position (shown by dashed lines in the same figure).
  • the shaft 16 is provided centrally by a radial control appendage 18 (figure 3) having the function of a crank, which is connected by means of an articulation pin to a pair of connecting rods 23 which are in turn connected to the end of a control rod 20 slidably guided inside the body 2, by means of another articulation pin engaging a hole 20a.
  • the sliding of the rod 20 is usually controlled by automatic drive means which, in the most common case, comprise a fluid-driven double acting cylinder 4, typically pneumatic, which is fixed at the bottom of the body 2.
  • automatic drive means which, in the most common case, comprise a fluid-driven double acting cylinder 4, typically pneumatic, which is fixed at the bottom of the body 2.
  • a coaxial sleeve 28 is slidably mounted outside the rod 20.
  • a pin-shaped appendage 32 extends from the sleeve 28 towards a rear wall 3 of the body 2, transversely to the axis of the sleeve 28.
  • the pin 32 is removably mounted on the sleeve 28, for example by means of a threaded connection, allowing therefore to modify the extension of its portion projecting from the sleeve itself.
  • an axial through slit 30 is provided, in which another appendage 34 connected to the rod 20 and also having the shape of a pin, is guided.
  • the pin 34 which is parallel to the pin 32, is preferably mounted radially and removably on the rod 20, for example by means of a threaded connection, in order to allow to change its extension with respect to the rod 20.
  • the sleeve 28 is provided with fastening means adapted to fasten it selectively in a plurality of positions axially spaced along the rod 20.
  • These fastening means preferably comprise a pair of threaded through holes 36, transverse to the axis of the sleeve 28 and formed at diametrically opposite zones with respect to the rod 20.
  • a locking dowel screw 38 having an end provided with a hexagonal hollow seat 38a, can be engaged in each one of the holes 36.
  • the seat 38a is intended to be engaged by a corresponding control wrench (not shown in the figures) which can be inserted through an opening 52 of each half-shell forming the body 2, in order to selectively fasten the sleeve 28 in one of a plurality of axial positions along the rod 20, for the purposes which will be explained in greater detail in the following.
  • the openings 52 are closed by means of easy removable plugs (not shown), for example of plastic material, which can be inserted by pressure.
  • Respective axial rows of seats are formed on diametrically opposite sides of the rod 20, each seat being constituted by a blind hole 40 which can be engaged by the end of the dowel screw 38 opposite to its hexagonal seat 38a, the holes 40 on a side of the rod 20 being axially offset with respect to the holes 40 of the opposite side.
  • the consecutive holes 40 formed both on a side and on the opposite side of the rod 20 are axially spaced of a constant pitch, for example corresponding to a rotation of 10° of the clamping arm 12.
  • a support member is associated to the body 2 of the device 1.
  • the support member supports a pair of fixed sensors 48, 50, typically consisting of microswitches for example of the inductive, magnetic or pneumatic type, which are adapted to sense the passage in their proximity of the pins 32 and 34 as a result of the sliding of the rod 20 and the sleeve 28, in order to control the stopping of the axial sliding of the rod 20 when it reaches the end-of-stroke positions corresponding to the preset angular end-of-stroke positions of the arm 12.
  • the member 5 can be fixed to the body 2 at a rectangular opening 5a formed in a rear wall 3 of the body 2 of the device 1.
  • the sensors 48 and 50 are rigidly connected to a substantially L-shaped support post 46.
  • the end of the less extended branch of the post 46 is fixed to a cover plate 42 having a shape corresponding to that of the opening 5a and intended to close sealingly such an opening in the assembled condition of the member 5.
  • the plate 42 supports a case 42a containing the electronic control elements of the sensors 48 and 50 and, usually, a series of external LEDs for the visual signaling of their operative condition.
  • An electrical connector extends from the case 42a, provided with wirings 7 to transmit pulses for controlling the operation of the cylinder 4 as a result of the operative condition of the sensors 48, 50.
  • the plate is usually provided with holes 44 adapted to be engaged by locking screws (not shown) in order to allow the fixing of the plate 42 to the body 2.
  • the sensors 48 and 50 are arranged on the post 46 according to positions outset sideways to each other, so that they face the directions of the axial movement of the free ends of the respective pins 32 and 36 following to the sliding of the rod 20 inside the body 2.
  • the extension of the cover plate 42 in the axial direction of the rod 20 is considerably smaller of the extension of the entire support member 5, and therefore the opening 5a of the body 2 can be kept small and not much extended axially so as to affect only a small portion of the rear wall 3 of the body 2.
  • the end of the post 46 opposite to the plate 42 is initially introduced in the opening 5a and, by applying a small rotation to the member 5, the post 46 is brought into a position adjacent to the wall 3 which separates it from the external environment, and the plate 42 is simultaneously arranged at the edge of the opening 5a so as to close it sealingly.
