Definitions

  • the innovation relates to a control valve device on a device operated with compressed air for driving in fasteners according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Known devices are used for the removal of nails, staples or the like.
  • the driving piston for actuating the driving plunger is operated pneumatically.
  • the release takes place with the help of a pusher or a release lever that actuates a release valve.
  • the release valve in turn controls a control valve which, in its open position, connects the displacement of the working piston to a compressed air source, while in the closed position it vents the working stroke space.
  • a control valve device has become known in which a control piston is constantly biased by a spring in the closed position.
  • a control valve piston is provided coaxially with the control piston and pushes the control piston into the open position when the pressure is applied accordingly.
  • the pressurized air supply to the control piston is controlled by a reversing valve, which optionally applies an atmosphere or compressed air to an active surface of the control valve.
  • a disadvantage of the known device is that the return spring on the control piston is a pronounced wear part that tires after a certain number of driving operations.
  • Another disadvantage is that the control piston is brought into the open position with the aid of the control valve piston. As a result, the control valve piston and the control piston are subjected to high mechanical loads. There are also unpleasant noises.
  • a control valve device has also become known from DE-PS 1 603 839, in which the control chamber facing a main control valve slide is connected to the piston return chamber via an additional pressure-sensitive valve, this connection being controlled by an auxiliary valve slide.
  • the piston return chamber serves to move the piston from the bottom dead center position back to the top dead center position by filling it with compressed air when the driving piston has approximately reached its bottom dead center position.
  • the return chamber is connected to a bore below the piston in the bottom dead center position with the cylinder, so that the air stored in the return chamber can now accomplish the return stroke.
  • part of the compressed air is now branched off from the piston return chamber in order to move the main valve slide back into the closed position.
  • the pressure conditions in the piston return chamber are dependent on various factors, such as the friction of the working piston, the seals, etc., so that reproducible pressures are not always achieved.
  • the additional valve therefore does not open reproducibly at a certain position of the working piston. There is therefore no exact synchronization between the movement of the driving piston and the switching operations of the control valve device in this valve device. Moving the main valve spool to the closed position requires a certain pressure and a certain volume, which may not be available for piston return. There is also a risk with the known valve that the reversing process takes place too quickly and the driving piston does not reach its top dead center position reached before the working displacement is reconnected to the compressed air source. Finally, the known valve requires a large number of dynamically stressed sealing rings as well as a return spring in the additional valve. However, sealing rings and springs are wear parts that need to be replaced from time to time.
  • the main valve is also designed as a head valve.
  • the auxiliary valve slide is slidably arranged in a sleeve, which in turn is slidably mounted in the housing of the driving tool.
  • the sleeve In single-shot mode, the sleeve remains in a predetermined end position.
  • the sleeve is acted upon by the pressure in the piston return space and adjusted relative to the auxiliary valve spool. This brings it back to its original position and the main valve is reversed in this way.
  • This known valve arrangement also has some disadvantages.
  • the sleeve, which oscillates in repetition mode is of relatively large design and therefore has a relatively large mass, which is disadvantageous for high repetition frequencies.
  • the oscillating sleeve is provided with a large number of dynamically loaded O-rings that are subject to relatively heavy wear.
  • a higher reversing force is required for O-rings.
  • the difference areas are also relatively small. A reversal therefore only takes place after almost complete pressure build-up or reduction. At higher repetition frequencies there is therefore a risk that the working piston is already pressurized with compressed air while it is still in the return stroke.
  • a control valve device of the type mentioned has become known from DE-PS 19 08 150.
  • An auxiliary valve spool is also designed in the form of a stepped piston, which delimits its own control space with a piston step, which can be connected to the pressure line in the open valve position and to a vent line in the closed valve position via a line controllable by the main valve spool.
  • the auxiliary valve spool in turn controls the pressurization of the main valve spool.
  • the reversal of the main valve spool only begins when the main valve spool has fully reached the open position so that sufficient pressure can build up in the working stroke space to drive the driving piston. Another working cycle is only initiated when almost no air flows out of the working cylinder during the piston return stroke.
  • the outflowing air is introduced into the further control chamber via a controllable line, so that its ventilation can only occur when the countercurrent air has almost or completely escaped from the working stroke space.
  • an adaptation to the movement sequence of the driving piston is to be achieved in such a way that the driving piston always executes a full working and a full return stroke.
  • the time that elapses between the reversal processes is essentially predetermined by the connecting channels, which may have throttling points.
  • the innovation is therefore based on the task of creating a control valve device on a device operated with compressed air for driving in fasteners, which has a minimum of wearing parts and, above all, an exact adaptation of the switching processes to the movement of the driving piston even at high driving frequencies in the so-called repeating mode guaranteed.
  • the new control valve device like the generic valve device, does not require any dynamically loaded springs.
  • a compression spring can be provided for the release valve or its stem, but is not dynamically loaded.
  • the new control valve device also comes with a very small number of dynamically loaded sealing rings, so that it has minimal susceptibility to wear and allows longer maintenance intervals.
  • the new one comes direction with only two valve spools, with the main valve spool controlling the channel to the working drawer, while the auxiliary valve spool controls the pressurization of the larger effective area of the main valve spool.
  • This connection which can be formed by a simple transverse bore, preferably contains a throttle, for example in the form of an adjusting screw or a needle for adjusting the flow cross section. If the hole is completely closed, the new device works in single-shot mode. The flow cross-section in the bore set by the throttle, however, determines the repetition frequency of the automatically operating control valve.
  • the release valve ensures, in the relaxed or non-actuated state, that the larger effective area of the main valve spool is acted upon by the pressure of the compressed air source, for example the reservoir in the handle of the driving tool.
  • the main valve spool remains in the closed position and blocks the connection of the compressed air source to the working drawer.
  • the trigger valve By actuating the trigger valve, however, the larger effective area of the main valve spool is vented.
  • the auxiliary valve slide can keep its position. For example, a space connected to the atmosphere by actuation of the trigger valve in the starting position of the auxiliary valve spool can be permanently connected via a connection to the larger effective area of the main valve spool.
  • the pressure on the smaller effective area of the main valve slide therefore leads to an adjustment to its open position, in which it releases the connecting channel between the compressed air source and the working push chamber.
  • the driving piston is driven down and drives the fastener into a workpiece.
  • the driving piston has reached its lower position (bottom dead center)
  • the compressed air can flow into a return space surrounding the cylinder via a hole in the cylinder.
  • Some air flows out of the return space via the described bore and the throttle arranged therein to the second active surface of the auxiliary valve spool. This is then adjusted to its second position, in which it now connects the larger effective area of the main valve spool with the compressed air source.
  • the main valve slide is then moved back to the closed position, therefore separates the connection between the compressed air source and the working push room and instead puts the working push room in the atmosphere.
  • the air stored in the return space now pushes the piston towards the top dead center position.
  • the return chamber is under a certain pressure until the end, so that this pressure is applied to the second active surface of the auxiliary valve spool and prevents the auxiliary valve spool from returning to the initial position.
  • the air flows under pressure from the second active surface of the auxiliary valve spool to the return space and thereby supports its return effect.
  • the second effective area of the auxiliary valve spool is designed to be large, it can easily be achieved that the auxiliary valve spool only returns to its first or initial position when the driving piston has reached its top dead center position with certainty. At some point the auxiliary valve spool is returned to the initial position by the pressure of the compressed air source, so that it connects the larger effective area of the main valve spool with atmosphere again and a new work cycle can begin.
  • the automatic valve according to the invention can only be switched over when the driving piston has actually reached its bottom dead center position. Conversely, the working stroke of the driving piston is only connected to the pressure source when it has reached its top dead center position.
  • the maximum available energy is therefore used to drive in fasteners effectively, and above all in repeating operation.
  • the valve according to the innovation has a fixed control sleeve, which cooperates in a sealing manner with a central bore in the main valve spool.
  • the control sleeve can have a radial flange through which the main control space, to which the larger effective area of the main valve spool faces, delimits.
  • the auxiliary valve slide is displaceably guided in the bore of the control sleeve.
  • the second effective area of the auxiliary valve slide which is optionally exposed to the pressure of the piston return space, is preferably designed to be much larger than the first effective area. If the auxiliary valve slide is also provided with an active surface that is constantly exposed to the pressure of the compressed air source, the second active surface is chosen to be large enough that it is at least twice as large as the active surface that is constantly exposed to the pressure of the compressed air source. In this way it is ensured that during the return stroke of the piston the auxiliary valve spool remains in a position in which the control chamber of the main valve spool is connected to the compressed air source.
  • the auxiliary valve slide Only when the pressure in the piston return space is almost completely reduced to a fraction of the Maximum pressure, the auxiliary valve slide returns to its first position and thus initiates the opening of the main valve so that the working piston can be pressurized to perform a new working stroke. In this way it is ensured that the piston has reached its top dead center position before a new working stroke is carried out.
  • the first active surface of the auxiliary valve slide is preferably formed by a piston section.
  • Another piston section of the auxiliary valve spool is sealingly arranged in the bore of the control sleeve.
  • the piston sections described are such that only one of the two cooperates in a sealing manner with the bore of the control sleeve.
  • the piston sections are of smooth cylindrical design without sealing elements, so that seals susceptible to wear are largely eliminated in the auxiliary valve slide.
  • Only the piston section, which forms the second active surface, is preferably sealed in the associated housing bore via an O-ring.
  • the auxiliary valve spool is therefore extremely smooth-moving, which is of considerable advantage for achieving high repetition frequencies of up to 2000 per minute.
  • the auxiliary valve slide can consist of two parts, one of which has the cylindrical sections interacting with the control sleeve and the other has the second active surface.
  • This subdivision is advantageous since the lower part does not have to be arranged exactly coaxially with the upper part and thus different, offset positions of the valve bores in the housing and in the valve cover can be realized. This means that the position tolerances for production can be relatively rough.
  • the frequency can be continuously adjusted in automatic mode by changing the throttle between the piston return chamber and the auxiliary valve slide until finally only individual shots are fired.
  • a so-called mixed operation is required, i.e. First, in single-shot mode, a few clips are specifically driven in to fix the fabric. Then the work continues in automatic mode with a high firing order.
  • a screw has to be actuated by about three to four turns. This may take too long. Therefore, an embodiment of the invention provides that a bore directed toward the trigger of the trigger valve is provided for the second active surface and is connected to the atmosphere when the trigger is not actuated.
  • a section of the trigger carries a sealing element which seals the bore when the trigger is actuated.
  • the relationship of the trigger valve to the trigger is such that although the trigger valve is activated from a first distance of the trigger to trigger a shot, the bore below the second active surface remains open. Despite the automatic setting of the throttle in the channel to the second active surface, the automatic mode is suppressed, and a new single shot can only be triggered when the trigger is released and actuated again. If, on the other hand, the trigger is adjusted a second distance following the first distance, the sealing element closes the hole and the driving tool works in automatic mode.
  • the arrangement described is preferably chosen so that the operator feels two pressure points when the trigger, for example a trigger, is actuated, the first being relatively easy to overcome, while the second can be felt to a greater or lesser extent.
  • the valve according to the innovation manages with a minimum number of moving parts or ensures an exact adaptation to the movement sequence of the driving piston. Even at the highest repetition frequencies, there is no loss of impact energy due to the fact that the valve switches over during the up and down movement. Rather, the piston return is only initiated when the impact has been carried out. The next stroke is only switched over when the piston has reached its top dead center position.
  • the valve according to the invention also works with a minimum of wear parts or only those parts which have a very long service life, so as not to cause a failure over a longer period even at the highest repetition frequencies. In particular, loaded springs and dynamically highly loaded sealing elements (O-rings) are eliminated.
  • valve according to the invention is infinitely variable in a very wide control range from single shot to a maximum limit of 30 Hz, for example.
  • valve according to the innovation is designed so that it can be installed in the existing housing of driving tools, without special adaptation measures having to be provided.
  • the driving tool shown partially in section in FIGS. 1 to 5 has a housing 10 and a working cylinder 11 which receives a driving piston 12 to which a driving plunger 13 is connected. At the lower end of the working cylinder 11, a brake ring 14 is arranged.
  • the working cylinder 11 is surrounded by a piston return chamber 15 which is connected to the working cylinder 11 via first radial bores 16 and second radial bores 17, the bores 16 on the side of the return chamber 15 being closed by an O-ring 18 which forms a check valve .
  • the housing 11 has a handle part 20, in which a reservoir 21 for compressed air is formed, which can be connected to a compressed air source (not shown), for example via a compressed air hose.
  • a ventilation channel 22 is formed in the handle part 20.
  • a valve plate 23 is attached to the underside of the grip part 20, which engages with a projection in a corresponding recess in the housing 10.
  • the valve plate 23 is screwed to the handle 20 by means of a screw 25 which is arranged countersunk in the valve plate 23.
  • the valve plate 23 supports a release lever 26 which is pivotably mounted at 27.
  • a bore 30 in the grip part 20 is connected to a channel 31, which leads to the working space 32 of the cylinder 11. Above, the working drawer 32 is closed by a cover plug 33.
  • a control valve device 36 is received in the bore 30. It has a main valve spool 37 and an auxiliary valve spool 38.
  • the main valve spool 37 is designed as a stepped piston with an end-side active surface 37a facing the reservoir 21 and an oppositely directed larger active surface facing a main control chamber 39.
  • the piston section of the main valve spool 37 which has the active surface 37a has two axially spaced O-rings 41, 42, the O-ring 41 cooperating with an upper valve seat, as a result of which the connection between the channel 31 and the reservoir 21 is interrupted.
  • the lower O-ring 42 interacts with a stepped bush 43 which is sealingly received by the bore 30.
  • the bushing bore guides the piston section of the main valve spool 37 in a sliding and sealing manner.
  • the channel 31 is connected to an annular space 45 surrounding the main valve spool 37, which is connected to an annular space 46 surrounding the bush 43 via radial bores in the bush 43, which is in constant communication with the ventilation duct 22.
  • the working stroke space 32 is therefore under atmospheric pressure.
  • the central bore of the main valve spool 37 slidably and sealingly receives the upper end of a control sleeve 48 which has a radial flange 49 which is seated in an enlarged section of the bore 30.
  • the control sleeve 48 has a plurality of radial bores 50 which connect the bore of the control sleeve 48 to the main control chamber 39.
  • the radial flange 49 bears against the bush 43 from below and is in turn held by the valve plate 23 from below.
  • the bore of the control sleeve 48 receives the upper part of the two-part auxiliary valve spool 38. This consists of an upper smooth cylindrical section 51 with an active surface 52 which faces the reservoir 21 via the bore 47 of the main valve slide 37.
  • the upper part of the auxiliary valve slide also has a smooth cylindrical section 53.
  • the intermediate rod is triangular in cross section in the central region, as shown at 54. A passage is thereby formed between the sections 51 and 53 between the rod 54 and the bore wall of the control sleeve 48.
  • the bore of the control sleeve 48 has an enlarged section 55 in the region of the flange 49, into which the smooth cylindrical section 53 can be inserted in a sealing manner.
  • the distance between the smooth cylindrical sections 51, 53 is such that either the upper smooth cylindrical section 51 sits sealingly in the bore of the control sleeve 48, while the section 53 releases the bore section 55, or the smooth cylindrical section 53 sits in the bore section 55, in which case the smooth cylindrical Section 51 projects upwards so far from the control sleeve 48 that the passage around the valve rod 54 is connected to the bore 47 of the main valve spool and thus to the reservoir 21 (FIG. 4).
  • the lower part of the auxiliary valve spool 38 is arranged in a bore 56a of the valve plate 23. It has a valve piston section 56 which can be moved in a sealed manner in the bore 56a.
  • a piston section 57 with a polygonal cross section - preferably triangular - is seated in a corresponding bore in the valve plate 23.
  • the lower part of the auxiliary valve slide 38 has an active surface 57a and a polygonal active surface 66 which is connected to the return chamber 15 together via an oblique bore 58 in the valve plate 23.
  • a plunger 60 of a release valve 61 interacts with the release lever 26. It is pressed by the air pressure in the grip space 21 and in a bore 63a of an insert 63 supported by a spring 62 in the direction of the release lever 26. An O-ring 62a closes the bore in the valve plate 23 downwards.
  • the plunger 60 which is triangular in cross-section in the lower region, has a further sealing ring 64 at the upper end, which sealingly cooperates with the bore 63a in the insert 63 when the plunger is lifted upwards using the release lever 26.

  • the pressure of the reservoir 21 is also located in the bore 56a and in the bore section 55, and can also spread into the main control chamber 39 via the radial bores 50. Since the effective area 40 of the main valve slide 37 is larger than the effective area 37a facing the reservoir 21, the main valve slide is held in the closed position shown in FIG. 1, in which it blocks the connecting channel 31 from the compressed air and via the annular space 45 to the outlet channel 22 connects.
  • the piston 12 is in its top dead center position.
  • the main valve spool 37 is held in the closed position even when the upper part of the auxiliary valve spool 38 is in its upper position (which is shown approximately in FIG. 4).
  • the cylindrical portion 51 is then outside the bore of the control sleeve 48, so that the passage between the connecting rod 54 and the control sleeve 48 is also connected via the bore 47 of the main valve spool 37 with compressed air, which then also via the radial bores 50 in the Main control chamber 39 can enter.
  • valve tappet of the trigger valve 61 is raised and the sealing ring 64 connected to the valve tappet enters the lower section of the bore 63a of the insert 63, so that the compressed air is shut off At the same time, the sealing ring 62a emerges from the associated bore in the valve plate 23. Since the valve tappet is polygonal, preferably triangular in cross section in the lower region, a connection of the control chamber 65 to the atmosphere is established. The bores 56a, 55 and the radial bores 50 now also connect the main control chamber 39 to the atmosphere.
  • the pressure acting on the smaller effective surface 37a of the main valve spool 37 therefore moves the main valve spool 37 into the open position shown in FIG. 3, in which the O-rings 41, 42 cooperate with the bore of the bush-shaped insert 43 and thereby connect the connecting channel 31 to Shut off outlet duct 22.

  • the return chamber 15 is connected to the bore 56a via the bores 58 and 58a. If this bore is closed (the throttling of bore 58 will be described further below), the control valve device described operates as a single-shot device.
