Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a rivet feeding, turnover and front loading apparatus for riveting guns.
- Specifically, it is used for the automatic and continuous loading of pop rivets pre-assembled on a pin.
- In particular, the present invention refers to an apparatus of the type which includes: a rivet conveyor fitted with a pin and a collar, on which the rivets pass one behind the other suspended from the collar with the pin facing downwards; a rivet turnover apparatus at the outfeed of the conveyor; means for transporting the rivets from the said turnover apparatus to a front loading apparatus; a front loading apparatus which can load the rivets in a riveting gun.
- Several apparatuses of this type are already well-known.
- Patent EP N. 0285739, for example, discloses an apparatus in which the following occurs: the said means for transporting the rivets include a pneumatic feeding tube in which the rivets pass with the pin turned backwards with respect to the feeding direction; the turnover apparatus includes a rotating drum which moves between a first position in which it receives a rivet coming from the conveyor with the pin facing downwards inside a housing in the drum and a second position, when it has turned 180° with respect to the first position, in which the rivet in the said housing is upsidedown with the pin facing upwards and facing an inlet in the pneumatic feeding tube; the rivet is sucked into the tube using compressed air and is pushed towards the loading apparatus.
- These well-known apparatuses, however, have some disadvantages.
- First, they are complex in construction, especially with respect to the turnover apparatus.
- Secondly, only a small number of rivets can be loaded on the riveting gun in a particular amount of time.
- Thirdly, they take up a lot of space, especially with respect to the front loading apparatus, which makes the apparatus difficult to handle and unsuitable for small areas.
- The object of this present invention is to overcome the said disadvantages of the prior art by providing an apparatus which is easily built and economical in construction and can load a high number of rivets in a particular amount of time. This object is achieved by the present apparatus which is characterised in that the said turnover apparatus includes an obstacle element which is positioned near to the outfeed of the said conveyor and is designed to act on the rivets which pass onto the conveyor in such a way to make them turn forward.
- Preferably, the said conveyor is fitted with a track on which the rivet collars slide and which ends with an end part curved downwards, and which has two side strips parallel to it which are designed to guide the rivet being turned over. Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention are best described by the detailed description that follows of the preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment for the production of the same invention. These are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which are purely by way of example are are not binding. They are as follows:
- Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of the apparatus disclosed applied to a riveting gun;
- Figure 2 is a view from above of the rivet turnover apparatus;
- Figure 3 is a side view from below of Figure 2;
- Figure 4 is a side view of the rivet front loading apparatus;
- Figure 5 is a left side view of Figure 4 on an enlarged scale, with some parts cut away in order to better illustrate other parts;
- Figures 6 to 10 show the front loading apparatus in its operating configurations, with some parts cut away in order to better illustrate other parts. With reference to the above Figures, 1 refers to the entire rivet feeding, turnover and front loading apparatus for riveting guns.
- The apparatus 1 includes a
vibration conveyor 2 forpop rivets 3 with apin 4 and acollar 5. Theconveyor 2, which is housed inside a closed and wheel-mountedbase 8, is fitted with atrack 6, on which therivets 3 slide one behind the other, suspended from thecollar 5 with thepin 4 facing downwards. - On the
conveyor 2 there is a stop element 7 which can move between two positions in which, respectively, it blocks and lets the rivets pass onto the track. The stop element 7 is used to make the rivets pass, one by one, using an external control. - The apparatus 1 also includes a turnover apparatus 9 for rivets feeding out from the
conveyor 2 and means 12, 14 for conveying the rivets to afront loading apparatus 10 which loads the rivets in a rivetinggun 11 which has ashaft 15 and ahandle 16. On the front part of the shaft, there is ahead 31 and on thehandle 16, there is acontrol pushbutton 30. - The means for conveying the rivets include a
compressed air tube 12, inside thebase 8, fitted with aninlet 13 facing upwards. Thetube 12 is connected to apneumatic feeding tube 14, outside thebase 8 which connects thetube 12 with thefront loading apparatus 10. The feeding tube is enclosed in atubular sheath 33. Inside thebase 8, there are the means for generating compressed air which are well-known and not illustrated in the Figures. - All the parts described up to now refer to the characteristics which are common to the well-known apparatuses and the present invention.
- According to the present invention, the turnover apparatus 9 includes an
obstacle element 34 which is positioned near to the outfeed of the saidconveyor 2 and which is designed to act upon therivets 3 which pass onto the conveyor in such a way that it makes the rivets turn forward. Theobstacle element 34, then, intercepts therivets 3 which pass along theconveyor 2 and causes therivets 3 to rotate around theelement 34 itself. In effect, the obstacle element, in order to generate the rotation moment in therivets 3 operates in conjunction with the force which feeds the rivets along theconveyor 2. The obstacle element consists of a fixedcylindrical bar 34 crossways with respect to thepins 4 of therivets 3 which slide along thetrack 6. - This track ends with an
end part 6a curved downwards in the shape of a circular arc which is almost concentric to thebar 34. - A
hopper 35 is fitted below theconveyor 2 outfeed. It receives the over-turnedrivets 3 and guides them towards theinlet 13. The bottom of thehopper 35 is immediately above thisinlet 13. On command, ashutter 36 closes thetube 12inlet 13. A double-actionpneumatic cylinder 38 enables theshutter 36 which can move forwards and backwards in the direction of thearrow 39. - Two
side strips 37 are fitted on theend part 6a of the track and are parallel to it. Theside strips 37 are parallel to each other and are positioned on opposite sides of a rivet which slides along theend part 6a of thetrack 6 and are therefore suitable for holding up the rivet during the turnover phase. - The following is a description of the
front loading apparatus 10. - According to the present invention, this apparatus is assembled to the riveting
gun 11 on the same axis as the gun itself. In other words, it is substantially co-planar to theshaft 15 and thehandle 16 of thegun 11, as shown in Figure 5. The end part of thepneumatic feeding tube 14 is made of a rigidtubular body 17, fitted below and parallel to theshaft 15. Thetubular body 17 ends with anoutlet 18. It is envisaged that therivets 3 are pushed towards theoutlet 18 by the compressed air in thetube 14. - A
slider 19 slides along the outside of thetubular body 17 that functions, therefore, as the slider guide. Apneumatic cylinder 20 drives theslider 19. - Two pairs of
rods 21, parallel to each other, are joined to the slider on opposite sides. Therods 21 of each pair are arranged one above the other. A pick-up element 22 for the rivets (of a well-known type and only schematically illustrated in the Figures) is fitted to the ends of therods 21. The pick-up element 22 forms the connecting rod for a four-link mechanism whose frame is the above-mentionedslider 19. - Each
lower rod 21 has anextension 23 on which there is apawl 24 which extends outwards laterally with respect to theslider 19. Eachpawl 24 engages ingrooves body 29. In particular, the grooves in eachfixed body 29 are: twogrooves oblique grooves front 27 and the other at theback 28, which allow thepawl 24 to pass from theupper groove 25 to thelower groove 26 and vice versa. - The following is a description of the functioning of the apparatus 1, starting from the moment in which, by using the external control, the stop element enables a
rivet 3 to pass onto thetrack 6. At this point, theinlet 13shutter 36 is closed. - As the
pin 4 of therivet 3 moves along the track, it meets theobstacle element 34. The action of thevibration conveyor 2 and the reaction of theobstacle element 34 combine in such a way to rotate therivet 3 which makes it turn forward. - Figure 3 shows some of the positions of the
rivet 3 during the forward rotation. Thecurved end part 6a of thetrack 6 ensures that therivet 3 follows the trajectory illustrated in the drawing. This trajectory favours and ensures the correct insertion of the rivets in thetube 12inlet 13. When therivet 3 is positioned with the head downwards and with thepin 4 turned upwards, theshutter 34 is opened; the rivet is then sucked inside thetube 12 and then inside thetube 14 and is conveyed to theloading apparatus 10. - This loading apparatus is found in the configuration shown in Figure 6 in which the pick-up
element 22 is directly facing thetubular body 17. Moreover, theslider 19 is behind thehead 31 of theriveting gun 11 and thepawl 24 is in theupper groove 25. In this configuration, therivet 3, pushed by the compressed air in thetube 14, goes into the pick-upelement 22. - Then the
cylinder 20 makes theslider 19 and also, as part of the slider, therods 21, thepawl 24, the pick-upelement 22 and therivet 3, pass in the direction of thearrow 32. - Figures 7 and 8 show two successive phases of the continuous feeding of the
cylinder 20. - Figure 7 shows the
cylinder 20 in an intermediate feeding phase in which thepawl 24 has reached the end of theupper groove 25 and is about to pass to thefront oblique groove 27. - Figure 8 shows the
cylinder 20 having reached the end of its stroke; at this point thepawl 24 has moved to thelower groove 26, therods 21 have turned upwards around the articulations on theslider 19 due to the movement of thepawl 24, the pick-upelement 22 and therivet 3 have been moved parallel to each other and are now found on the same axis as thehead 31 of theriveting gun 11. Then thecylinder 20 moves back. Figures 9 and 10 show two consecutive phases in which thecylinder 20 moves back. - Initially, the
pawl 24 passes along thelower groove 26. Figure 9 shows one of the pawls 24 - obviously, the same thing happens for the other pawl - while it is about to pass to theback oblique groove 28. In this configuration, thepin 4 of therivet 3 is inserted in thehead 31 of thegun 11. Thehead 31 is fitted with a flexible ratchet gear, which is well-known and not illustrated in the drawing, which secures therivet pin 4 firmly. - In Figure 10, the
slider 19 moves back further, thepawl 24 passes to theupper groove 25, therods 21 have lowered and, together with them, also the pick-upelement 22 which, at this point, is without therivet 3 and is now aligned with thetubular body 17. From this configuration, by making theslider 19 move back further, you can return to the configuration of Figure 6, with thegun 11 loaded and ready to fire the rivet and with theloading apparatus 10 ready to receive and load thenext rivet 3. By pressing thepushbutton 30, the rivet loaded in thehead 31 is fired and a new rivet is made pass onto theconveyor 2 by the stop element 7. - The invention described can be subject to modifications and variations without thereby departing from the scope of the inventive concept.
