Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical sector of riveting pistols, with special reference to servo-assisted pistols, used for rivets having a cylindrical shape, a partially-threaded axial hole, an abutment collar at a head thereof and a specially-weakened portion at which the plastic deformation will occur.
  • the rivets are destined to join two walls stably, for example in place of spot-welding, or for constituting a threaded anchoring bush of an adequate sturdiness, for structures made of too-soft or too-thin materials for fashioning sufficiently-resistant threads.
  • the above-described rivets can be of considerable dimensions, and for their application it is necessary to avail of the necessary equipment, which must be able to exert thereon a high compression force.
  • a known-type riveting pistol constructed by the same applicant in accordance with an Italian patent application for industrial invention no. BO2007A000311 , comprises a body and a grip wherein are housed:
  • the pistol 100 further comprises an emergency button control, not illustrated in detail but preferably arranged with a position and/or conformation protected from accidental activation, associated to the electric circuit 6 and destined to activate the first micro-switch 1 such that the rod 2 rotates to the left, in a way which will be described herein below.
  • an emergency button control not illustrated in detail but preferably arranged with a position and/or conformation protected from accidental activation, associated to the electric circuit 6 and destined to activate the first micro-switch 1 such that the rod 2 rotates to the left, in a way which will be described herein below.
  • the first transmission organs 11 are constituted, for example, by a plurality of gears also functioning as speed reducer; preferably these organs 11 cause the micro-motor 1 and the rod 2 to rotate in a same direction ( figures 2 and 3 ).
  • the second transmission organs 52 are constituted, for example, by an epicyclical gear reducer.
  • the second micro-switch 62 is activated and the control unit 60 starts up the automatic operating cycle of the pistol 100 ( figure 6 ).
  • the second micro-motor 5 is then activated in the suitable direction, in order to determine the outward run of the piston 50 in the cylinder 51, with a consequent increase in the pressure of the hydraulic fluid F into the chamber 41 of the cursor 40 ( figure 7 ).
  • the piston 50 continues to rise, while the pressurised fluid F overcomes the resistance of the contrast spring 42 and pushes the cursor 40 to retreat, together with the associated threaded rod 2.
  • the translation continues, causing a progressive compression of the rivet 3 which deforms towards the outside, in the weakened portion, to define an annular edge 3C adhering to the surface of the wall P opposite the surface on which the collar 3B is resting, thus determining a blocking of the rivet 3 ( figure 8 ).
  • the increase in the pressure in the hydraulic system 4 increases the resistance to rising of the piston 50, which leads to a proportional increase in the absorption of power on the part of the second micro-motor 5.
  • the value of this absorption is constantly monitored by the control unit 60, since the force exerted on the rod 2 to deform the rivet 3 is calculated in relation thereto, by means of suitable parameters.
  • the maximum peak of absorption the second micro-switch 5 has to reach is calculated and the relative datum is stored in the control unit 60.
  • the control unit 60 inverts the rotation of the second micro-motor 5, with consequent inversion of the movement of the piston 50 ( figure 9 ).
  • the above leads to a sharp drop in hydraulic fluid pressure F, with a consequent interruption of the retraction of the cursor-rod group and thus of the stressed on the rivet 3.
  • the contrast spring 42 While the piston 50 proceeds in its descent, due to the action of the second micro-motor 5, the contrast spring 42 newly prevails on the force determined by the fluid pressure F and advances the cursor 40 and the rod 2.
  • the control unit 60 in a suitable phase relation with the descent of the piston 50, starts up the first micro-motor 1 too, setting the threaded rod 2 in leftwise rotation so that it unscrews from the rivet 3 which by now is blocked to the wall P ( figure 10 ).
  • the second micro-motor 5 is maintained in motion until the piston 50 reaches the lowered start position, after which it is automatically deactivated by the control unit 60 (see figure 10 once more); the signal which attests to the reaching of the position can be given by an end-run sensor (not illustrated), or by the increase of absorption of the micro-motor 5 consequent upon the intercepting of a mechanical end-run stop 53 which is integral with the piston 50.
  • the foreseen functioning program is completed ( figure 11 ).
  • the pistol 100 is newly in the condition described with reference to figure 4 , with the control unit 60 predisposed for a new cycle.
  • a particularly able operator therefore, can optimally synchronise the disengagement of the rod 2 with the halting of the micro-motor 1, such as to render the pistol 100 immediately ready for another rivet 3, previously positioned on the wall P.
  • the unscrewing can be completed by pressing the emergency command, in order to reactivate the micro-motor 1 with a further left-wise rotation of the rod 2.
  • the pistol 100 does not minimally suffer from any manoeuvring error which might be committed if, following an early release of the trigger 63, pressure is newly placed thereon.
  • the control logic of the control unit 60 can be programmed to continue the interrupted cycle if, for example, release occurs during the stage of deformation of the rivet 3.
  • the pistol repeats the automatic traction cycle on the rod 2 without causing undesired stress on the rivet 3 applied, as on reaching the preceding maximum fluid pressure F, the control unit 60 interrupts the action and starts unscrewing, so that the only drawback that obtains is a slight waste of time.
  • Other embodiments of the electro-hydraulic pistol device are envisaged, apart from the one illustrated and described herein above.
  • the batteries 7 and possibly also the control unit 60 can be housed in a module which is external of the body of the pistol; this is to contain the weight and size of the pistol, making it easier to use.
  • the batteries are eliminated and electrical energy is sourced from a network, with the interposing of a suitable transformer/rectifier, with the aim of obtaining unlimited working autonomy, together (in this case too) with a considerable reduction in weight.
  • the constructional characteristics of the two above-mentioned embodiments are combined, thus providing a module which is external of the body of the pistol which contains, apart from the batteries and the control unit, the transformer/rectifier for network-sourced power and possibly a device for recharging the batteries. From the above it can be understood how the electro-hydraulic pistol device fully reaches the set aims, in particular for obtaining a functioning logic which is entirely similar to that of the known-type pistol cited in the preamble hereto, without there being any need for supply of compressed air.
