  • a known rivet delivery device (EP 1 531 966 B1 ) is equipped with a designed as a cassette rivet storage, which has a number of stacked rivet cassettes. By means of a transfer carriage, which can be moved along the rivet cassettes, rivet elements are transferred from the respective rivet cassette to a rivet outlet.
  • a disadvantage of the known rivet provisioning device is the fact that their storage capacity is limited by the maximum stacking height of the rivet cassettes. An extension of the rivet memory is associated with considerable design effort.
  • the invention is based on the problem to design the known Nietrgnas issued such and further, that the total available storage capacity is increased by simple structural means.
  • the rivet provisioning device also has at least one rivet inlet in addition to the at least one rivet outlet.
  • the arrangement according to the proposal is made such that a rivet element provided at a rivet entrance can be passed to a rivet outlet.
  • the transfer carriage of the rivet provisioning device is used to implement the passage through the rivet elements. This double use of the transfer carriage leads to a compact and structurally comparatively simple solution.

  • Fig. 7 shows that in the illustrated and so far preferred embodiment, several control shafts 5 have been combined to form a common control shaft 21 are. This takes into account the fact that here at least two adjacently arranged rivet control units 2, in total a total of six juxtaposed rivet control units 2, are provided, wherein the control shafts 5 of the rivet control units 2 are each provided by an axial portion of the common control shaft 21.
  • the rivet provision device R serves, as already explained, to provide rivet elements 1 or the like. for at least one riveting application.
  • Fig. 2 it is indicated that the riveting application is being implemented by an automated riveting tool N.
  • Fig. 2 further shows that there are two rivet provisioning devices R connected in series, which will be explained below.
  • the rivet provision device R has a rivet storage 24 in which preferably different rivet elements 1 can be stored. Furthermore, the rivet delivery device R has at least one rivet outlet 25, in this case a total of 6 rivet outlets 25.
  • the rivet storage 25 is here in the manner of a cassette cabinet equipped with at least two stacked, in particular exchangeable rivet cassettes 26, each having at least one output flange 27 o.

  • the transfer carriage 28 can be moved along the rivet cassettes 26 in its stacking direction 29.
  • a rivet control unit 2 of the rivet control can be aligned with a rivet cassette 26 for transferring a rivet element 1 from the respective rivet cassette 26 to the respective rivet control unit 2.
  • each rivet control unit 2 has an input flange 30 for receiving rivet elements 1 assigned to the input section 3a of the rivet channel 3, wherein the rivet-cassette-side output flange 27 and the rivet-control-side input flange 30 are spaced apart by a gap when transferring a rivet element 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows in the lower detail view, as the rivet-cassette-side output flange 27 is positioned opposite the rivet control and the local input flanges 30. Since there is always a gap between the rivet cassette-side output flanges 27 and the rivet-control-side input flanges 30, it is sufficient to move the transfer carriage 28 and the rivet controller as a whole in only a single degree of freedom. In order to ensure an error-free transfer, it has proven to be advantageous if the gap is in a range between about 0.2 mm and about 0.6 mm. Particularly preferred here is a gap width of about 0.4 mm.
  • the different rivet cassettes 26 preferably store rivet elements 1 of different dimensions at least in part, with the transfer carriage 28 correspondingly having a plurality of rivet control units 2 adapted to the different dimensions.
  • the adaptation of the rivet control units 2 relates in the first place to the diameter of the rivet channel 3 and the corresponding connections, as can be seen, for example, from the upper detail illustration in FIG Fig. 4 results.

  • a separating device, not shown, provided in the rivet cassette 26 then releases a single rivet element 1, which passes through the gap between the two flanges 27, 30 and is received by the input section 3a of the rivet control unit 2.
  • the transfer conveyor 10 is activated in time, so that the rivet element 1 is drawn into the input section 3a via the above-mentioned Venturi effect and subsequently conveyed into the output section 3b by means of the transfer fluid flow 11.
  • the control shaft 21 located up to this point in the passage position is transferred into the blocking position (transition from Fig. 6a on Fig. 6b ).
  • the transport conveyor 15 is activated, so that rivet element 1 is transported further by the construction of a pressure wave via the fluid channel through-hole 17 to the riveting tool N via the hose line 20.
  • At least one rivet entrance 25a is provided in addition to the rivet outlet 25 and that the arrangement is made such that a rivet element 1 provided at a rivet entrance 25a can be passed to the rivet outlet 25.
  • the rivet delivery device R is equipped with an above-mentioned transfer carriage 28, wherein the transfer carriage 28 is moved to pass through a rivet 1 from a rivet 25a to a rivet output 25 in a pass-through position and then a sou ⁇ endes rivet 1 to the transfer carriage 28 can be transferred ,
  • the transfer carriage 28 is now used twice, namely on the one hand for the transfer of rivet elements 1 of the rivet cassettes 26 and on the other hand for the transfer of rivet elements 1, which have been provided at the rivet entrance 25a.
  • a number of pass-through flanges are provided, which are arranged in a row with the output flanges 27 of the rivet cassettes 26 and do not differ substantially geometrically from these output flanges 27.
  • the pass-through flanges are each connected via a hose segment to a rivet entrance 25a, as in FIG Fig. 2 is indicated.
  • the input flanges 30 of the rivet control units 2 are aligned with the pass-through flanges, wherein also here preferably a above-mentioned gap between the opposing flanges is provided.
  • the transfer procedure is largely identical to the procedure explained above for the transfer of rivet elements 1 from the rivet cassettes 26:
  • a rivet 1 from a rivet cassette 26 of in Fig. 2 The riveting tool 1, shown on the left, is provided to the riveting tool N from the desired rivet cassette 26 to the local transfer carriage 28 and transported further in the direction of the local rivet outlet 25.
  • the rivet element 1 reaches a transition flange of Fig. 2 on the right, downstream rivet delivery device R, passes the gap there and enters the input section 3a of the respective rivet control unit 2.
  • the above-described transfer process is carried out, so that the rivet element 1 is transported on to the riveting tool N as a result.
  • a rivet provision device R is "downstream” if its rivet entrance 25a or its rivet inlets 25a are or are connected downstream of the rivet outlet 25 or the rivet outlets 25 of an upstream rivet provisioning device R.
  • the definition for an "upstream” rivet delivery device R is also fixed.
  • the arrangement can generally be made such that rivet elements 1 are passed through at least one downstream rivet provision device R. It may also be that at least one subordinate rivet delivery device R is at the same time an upstream rivet delivery device R and vice versa.
  • Essential according to the third teaching is the fact that, as explained above, a rivet element 1 is transported via a rivet outlet 25 of an upstream rivet delivery device R to the rivet entrance 25a of a downstream rivet delivery device R and passed through at the rivet output 25a in the downstream rivet provision device R.
