Definitions

  • the tool has a slide pivoted to the housing of the tool at one end and which supports a grinding drum that can be slid longitudi nally of the slide or tilted angularly by adjusting the arcuate movement of the slide to locate the drum in different positions for tapering the pipe end.
  • the slide at the outer end has a pawl reciprocated by a motor in synchronism with rotation of the mandrel by the motor upon which the pipe to be tapered is disposed. The pawl in turn rotates a ratchet and thereby a cam which reciprocates a connecting rod secured to the slide.
  • the cam travels 180 and then the direction of tilt reverses.
  • the cam can be actuated manually to initially start the tilt of the slide and return the slide to start position.
  • An adjustment is provided at the outer end of the slide and tool housing to change the arcuate movement of the slide carrying the drum and the consequent angle of taper of the feathered edge formed on the pipe.
  • a rod is threaded through the support for the grinding drum to effect longitudinal adjustment of the support for the drum within the slide to locate the drum in different positions depending on the diameter of the tube to be tapered and the thickness desired in the feathered edge.
  • a second motor rotates the grinding drum.
  • the tapering tool of the invention is semi-automatic to accomplish the tapering operation in that it is self-feeding by tilting the tapering mechanism into the pipe end and can be automatically removed therefrom or it can be manually actuated to initiate the tilting movement and to return the tapering mechanism to start position.
  • This feeding mechanism is linked to the pipe rotating mechanism so that rotation of the pipe to be tapered is synchronized with the automatic movement of the mechanism against the end of the pipe to be tapered.
  • the tapering or grinding tool of the invention has an elongated housing from the center of which extends a mandrel having circular plates of a size to receive a pipe to be tapered and is adapted to engage the inside of the pipe and securely hold the same when the mandrel is rotated. Means are provided to increase the holding effect of the mandrel plates.
  • a slide or carriage which is pivoted to the upper and lower members of the housing at the inner end but is free at the outer end so that the slide can be tilted or rotated away from the housing in an arcuate path.
  • the slide carries internally a support for a gear motor on one side of the housing and for a grinding drum on the opposite side of the housing.
  • a shaft inside the drum is coupled to the drive shaft of the motor so that the motor when actuated rotates the drum.
  • the support for the drum is movable longitudinally within the slide to move the drum for tapering pipes of varying diameter and to regulate the thickness of the feather edge. The longitudinal movement is accomplished by a rod threaded to the support and extending therethrough which is actuated by a hand wheel at the outer end of the slide.
  • angular movement of the slide to move the drum toward the pipe to be tapered is synchronized with the rotation of the mandrel.
  • a cam on the hollow tube of the mandrel is rotated with the mandrel and reciprocates a connecting rod which is secured to a plate or arm connected by bolts extending in oblong apertures in a side plate of the housing.
  • the outer end of the reciprocated plate carries a pawl which engages a ratchet located at the outer end of the slide.
  • a cam which is connected to the ratchet then rotates and tilts the slide toward the pipe to be tapered through a connecting rod which is secured to the outer end of the slide.
  • the grinding drum is thus advanced in increments toward and against the pipe until the cam travels when the direction of tilt of the slide reverses.
  • the ratchet can also be operated manually to initiate the start of the tilt of the slide and to return the slide to start position.
  • the arcuate path of the slide carrying the drum can be changed to control the angle of the taper of the pipe end by an adjusting knob which upon rotation changes the movement of the connecting rod driven by the cam.
  • the drum is partially enclosed in a dust cover to which a vacuum is applied to remove the material ground from the end of the pipe.
  • FIG. I is a top plan view of the tool of the invention with parts in section and illustrating the starting position of the slide and drum carried by the slide;

  • the shaft 45 of motor 44 extends through side plate 3 and is secured to chain sprocket 46 to rotate the sprocket.
  • An idler sprocket 47 is secured to an idler bracket 48 which has an elongated aperture 49 for securing idler sprocket 47 to side plate 3 by a screw 50 which can be loosened to move bracket 48 and thereby tighten endless chain 51 which extends around chain sprocket 46 and on the inside of idler sprocket 47.
  • a generally large diameter sprocket 52 is welded to the mandrel tube 9 and the chain 51 extends around sprocket 52 so that rotation of the sprocket 46 by motor 44 effects rotation of sprocket 52 and mandrel tube 9.
  • the sprocket 52 also rotates in frictional engagement with the plate or collar 53 freely assembled on tube 9.

  • the drum is of carbide grit or is diamond coated, and is rotated counterclockwise as the workpiece 8 is rotated clockwise.
  • the block 61 is encompassed within a slide or carriage 73 which comprises the upper plate 74 lodged within the upper recess 63 of block 61 and the lower plate 75 which is received within the lower recess 63 of block 61.
  • the inner ends of plates 74 and 75 are secured to the block 76 and block 76 is pivoted by pin 77 to top plate 1 and bottom plate 2 of the housing to thereby pivot slide 73 thereto.
  • the outer ends of plates 74 and 75 are secured to the block 78 which is free to move a predetermined distance when the slide 73 is rotated.
  • Longitudinal adjustment of the slide 73 to move drum 69 and grind pipes 8 of different diameters is accomplished by the threaded rod or screw 79 which is threaded through the lower part of the flange 62 of block 61 and is rotated at its inner end within a projecting member 80 secured to block 76 and at its outer end in the lower portion of the block 78.
  • the rotation of rod 79 is accomplished by the size adjusting crank 81 secured to the outer end of rod 79.
  • Numbers located on the top plate 1 of the housing give an indication of the location of the block 61 and drum 69 by indicating the diameter of the pipe 8 which is to be tapered.
  • the size adjusting crank 81 is locked into position by the spring held pin 82 on bracket 83 secured to the carriage of the tool being lodged in a detent in the collar 84 of the crank 81.
  • cam 85 is welded to the mandrel tube 9 of the mandrel 7 and cam 85 is rotated by mandrel tube 9 of mandrel 7 to reciprocate the connecting rod 86.
  • Rod 86 is connected to the sliding plate or arm 87 by pin 88 and plate 87 has a large oval opening 89 in line with the oval opening 5 in side plate 4 to permit passage therethrough of the bearing housing 64 and drive shaft 65 of the drum 69 driven from motor shaft 66.
  • the plate 87 is anchored to the side plate 4 by four shoulder screws 90 extending through oblong holes in plate 4 and is free to slide under the screw heads. The plate 87 is thus reciprocated by the connecting rod 86 and the cam 85.
  • sliding plate 87 carries a pawl 91 which is pivoted to a bracket 92 secured to the plate 87 and pressed by spring 94 into engagement with the teeth of the ratchet 93 to effect rotation of the ratchet.
  • a spring 94a as illustrated diagrammatically in FIG. 6 has a tang disposed to snap it into engagement with the ratchet 93 as pawl 91 reverses for the next stroke to prevent backlash of ratchet 93.
  • the sliding movement of plate 87 effected by connecting rod 86 and cam 85 upon rotation of the man drel tube 9 of mandrel 7 moves pawl 91 in a reciprocating motion to advance pawl 91 one stroke per revolution of mandrel tube 9 to thus rotate the ratchet 93.
  • the ratchet 93 is confined within the bracket 95 and cap 96 which are bolted together.
  • the bracket 95 is bolted to the side plate 4 of the housing.
  • the shaft 97 extends through the eccentric cam 98 which is keyed to ratchet 93 at one end of shaft 97 and the shaft 97 in turn is keyed to the cam 98.
  • Cam 98 is located inside the connecting rod 99 and the grinding feed knob 100 is pinned to the other end of shaft 97. Each time the pawl 91 makes one stroke, ratchet 93 rotates to ad vance cam 98 one stroke. and because cam 98 is con-- nected to one end of connecting rod 99, the connecting rod 99 is then reciprocated. The other end of the connecting rod 99 extends within the clevis 101 and is secured thereto by the dowel pin 102.
  • the clevis 101 is disposed within the block 78 which is bolted, as previously described, to plates 74 and 75 of slide 73. An outer plate 103 and inner plate 104 are bolted to block 78 to contain clevis 101. The clevis 10] is moved by connecting rod 99 and this moves block 78 and tilts the entire slide 73, carrying drum 69 with it.
  • the clevis 101 is secured to the threaded bolt 105 by the pin 106 and bolt 105 extends therefrom through the threaded nut 107 and outwardly thereof through block 78.
  • the knurled knob 108 extends around nut 107 and is secured to nut 107 by set screw 109.
  • the lock nut 110 is threaded onto the outboard end of threaded bolt 105 and against knurled nut 108.
  • the ratchet 93 moves one-twenty fourth of a revolution to reciprocate connecting rod 99. This continues until the cam 98 travels l80 and then the direction of tilt reverses. Each click of ratchet 93 then moves the grinding drum 69 for away from pipe 8 which removes the load from drum 69 and the grinding motor 54, and the latter returns to no-load speed.
  • the feed knob 100 may be employed to manually rotate the cam 98 after the tapering operation to in less time return the cam 98 and ratchet 93 to the start position, as illustrated in FIG. 1, and to enable immediate actuation of the connecting rod 99 to tilt the slide 73 when the next tapering operation is commenced.
  • Manual rotation of feed knob 100 rotates shaft 97 and cam 98 and effects the return of cam 98 and ratchet 93 to the start position. If the cam 98 were not manually rotated to start position. pipe 8 would have to be rotated twelve times to return the cam 98, ratchet 93, slide 73 and the grinding drum 69 to the start position.
  • Another feature of the invention is that it is possible to rotate the entire tapering tool should that be desirable rather than rotate the pipe 8 so that the grinding drum 69 is rotated around the pipe 8 as the drum itself rotates.
  • the tool may have pipes or bars secured to the lower plate of the housing so that it may be secured to a table or like support when in service.
  • the size adjusting crank 81 is rotated to move the grinding drum 69 connected to block 61 by means of the threaded rod 79 to the proper position for the approximate feathered edge thickness.
  • the arrow on slide 73 is matched with the desired number on the top plate 1, as illustrated in FIG. 1, to obtain the correct dimension.
  • the grinder feed knob 100 is then turned to the start position as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the mandrel 7 having the plates 26 and 27 and 28 and 29 of the size to receive and hold the pipe 8 is then assembled on the tool.
  • Pipe 8 is next slid onto the mandrel 7 until it engages the stop bar 41 and then is pulled back about onequarter of an inch to provide a relief for slight movement of the pipe upon thereafter expanding of the mandrel plates 26 and 27 and plates 28 and 29.
  • the hand wheel 18 is rotated to rotate shaft 13 to compress the mandrel plates and expand the belting 32 and 39 into holding engagement with the inside of pipe 8 and place the assembly into frictional engagement with collar 53.
  • a source of vacuum is connected to the dust shield 72 so that dust can be removed from the area of the grinding drum 69 to prevent loading of dust onto the tool during the grinding operation which might cause binding of moving parts and excessive wear.
  • the grinding motor 54 is started to bring it up to speed and the motor will at that time be free of pipe 8, as illustrated in the start position of the slide 73 in FIG. 1.
  • the gear driving motor 44 is then started and, to save time, the grinding drum 69 is tilted toward pipe 8 by turning the grinder feed knob 100 one increment at a time until drum 69 engages pipe 8 and begins to lightly grind pipe 8. Then the knob 100 is released and the au tomatic operation of the tool takes over.
  • the grinding operation is accomplished automatically by rotation of the mandrel 7 by motor 44 and reciprocation of pawl 91 in engagement with ratchet 93 which actuates the eccentric cam 98 and connecting rod 99 secured to the slide 73 to advance the grinding drum 69 as it is rotated by the grinding motor 54 to complete the taper of the end of pipe.
  • the initial lift of cam 98 is substan tial, allowing the grinding drum 69 to take bigger bites of the pipe 8 where the amount of material being re moved per revolution of the pipe 8 and drum 69 is less because of the shorter contact area with the pipe surface.
  • lock nut 110 is loosened to release the knurled knob 108 which can then be rotated in either direction to move the threaded bolt inwardly or outwardly and thus change the throw of the connecting rod 99 actuated by eccentric cam 98 and the angle of tilt of the slide 73.
  • lock nut 110 is tightened to hold knurled knob 108 in the determined position.
  • the knob 108 is turned clockwise to decrease the angle of tilt and counterclockwise to increase the angle. For example, one revolution of knob 108 will change the angle by twelve minutes or 0.003 inches per inch.
  • a change in the taper angle setting will also change the angle of the feathered edge of pipe 8.
  • the thickness of the feathered edge can be changed by rotation of the size adjusting crank 81 to adjust the drum 69 longitudinally of the tool housing. If crank 81 is rotated clockwise, the thickness of the feathered edge of pipe 8 is decreased, and when crank 81 is rotated counterclockwise, the thickness of the feathered edge is increased. For example, one revolution of the crank 81 will change the thickness of the feathered edge of pipe 8 by 0.050 inches.
  • mandrel 7 are interchangeable in order to taper pipe of different lengths.
  • the two mandrel assemblies consisting of28, 29, 38, 39 and 40 are identical to mandrel assemblies 26, 27, 32, 33, 34 and 35.
  • the two spacers consisting of tubes 25 and 25a, gusset plates 36 and 36a gussets 31 and 37 are identical.
  • Each pair of gussets and a spacer tube are welded together to form integral pieces and are slip fitted on mandrel tube 9 along with the circular mandrel plates so that they can be removed and reassembled in other manners in order to hold a pipe shorter than the pipe 8 shown in FIG. 1.
