Definitions

  • the invention relates to a buffer system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • an impact device for driving in nails or the like is known, the buffer system of which consists of a relatively soft buffer element made of volume-compressible material and a hard buffer element interacting therewith, the contact surface of which rests fully on the bottom of the cylinder base.
  • This buffer system is capable of absorbing surges with excess pressure and empty strokes safely and with a long service life. Due to the contact between the hard buffer element and the bottom of the cylinder base, however, an unpleasant structure-borne noise is generated with each stroke, and this disturbs the operator. In extreme cases, the hard buffer element is considerably deformed, which can then be damaged by internal friction and heating.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to create a buffer system of the type mentioned at the outset which reliably absorbs and eliminates the excess of impact with the lowest possible structure-borne noise and with the longest possible service life.
  • the movable arrangement of the hard buffer element means the interposition of a friction stage between the soft spring characteristic of the soft buffer element and the hard spring characteristic of the hard buffer element.
  • the hard buffer element is arranged in the cylinder with a prestress, so that when the soft buffer element is pressed together, it is pressed even more strongly against the outer ring. Upon further compression, the excess impact energy is then destroyed by friction on the contact surfaces between the hard buffer element and the cylinder base or inner wall of the cylinder, and the heat generated can be dissipated well.
  • the hard buffer element lies with its entire contact surface on the bottom of the cylinder base, then it acts as in the known design as a hard, deformable buffer which is heated up considerably by internal friction. This internal heating can also destroy the hard buffer element, but at the same time there is an increase in structure-borne noise, which shows the operator that the buffer element must be replaced. This reliably prevents damage or destruction of parts of the wrapping device.
  • the design of the buffer system according to the invention offers the further advantage that this compressed air is only slowly and therefore quieter from the cylinder during the return stroke of the percussion piston escapes because the soft buffer element rests on the hard buffer element and thus severely limits the cross section of the vent opening.
  • a cylinder 2 is arranged in a housing 1, in which a percussion piston 3 with a percussion plunger 4 is slidably mounted.
  • a handle 5 compressed air is supplied to the impact device from a compressed air source, not shown, and after actuation of trigger 6 by actuation of a tubular valve slide 7 enters the interior of cylinder 2, where the compressed air strikes the piston 3 held by an elastic locking device 8 in the direction of the cylinder base 9 accelerates.
  • the nail 10 is driven into a workpiece, not shown, in a known manner by means of a ram 4. Additional nails 10 are provided in a magazine 11.
  • the cylinder 2 is surrounded by an air reservoir 12, into which compressed air passes through openings 13 and 14 in cylinder 2 in a known manner during the stroke stroke. After releasing trigger 6, this compressed air acts on the underside of percussion piston 3 and conveys it back to its starting position.
  • the impact piston 3 strikes a buffer system 15, which is shown enlarged in FIG. 2. It consists of a first, hard-elastic buffer element 16, which expediently consists of cross-linked polyurethane. Its contact surface 18 directed against the conical base 17 of the cylinder base 9 is also frustoconical, but its cone angle is smaller than the cone angle of the base. When the buffer system is in a relaxed position, there is therefore a space 19 between the base 17 and the contact surface 18, while the buffer element 16 rests on the base 20.
  • the buffer element 16 also has a cylindrical section 21, the outside diameter of which is larger than the inside diameter of cylinder 2, so that the buffer element 16 is arranged in cylinder 2 with a prestress.
  • a second buffer is seated on the first buffer element 16 against the percussion piston 3 element 22, which preferably consists of cellular polyurethane elastomer. Due to the cellular structure, a progressive spring characteristic is achieved in a known manner, its end face 23 directed against the percussion piston 3 is beveled outwards.
  • the percussion piston 3 has a cylindrical recess 24, the inside diameter of which is somewhat larger than the outside diameter of the buffer element 22.
  • left half shows the buffer system 15 in a relaxed state, the percussion piston 3 just touching the second buffer element 22. There is a space 19 between the bottom 17 and the contact surface 18.
  • the buffer system 15 is now compressed, as shown in FIG. 2, right half.
  • the first buffer element 16 is spread by the compressed second buffer element 22 such that its cylindrical section 21 presses against cylinder 2 beyond the pretension.
  • the cylindrical section 21 moves against the cylinder 2 and parts of the contact surface 18 against the substrate 20 with considerable friction, energy being dissipated to form heat. This heat can be easily dissipated via the surrounding metal parts.
  • the first buffer element 16 acts as a hard buffer, which has been known since then and which can absorb further excess impact energy under internal deformation.
