Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pressing tongs for a pressing device for connecting a Pipe section with a press fitting according to the generic term of the independent Claims 1 and 6.
  • a pressing device which has a pressing tongs for connecting of a pipe with a press fitting.
  • the pressing tongs comprise two Swivel arms, which can be pivoted between two identical T-shaped parts by means of a bolt Carrier plates are hinged.
  • the swivel arms are at one end with a Provide contact surface for the system on the press cylinder of the press device. At the opposite end they are as jaws facing each other Press surfaces designed.
  • the linkages for the bolts are on the Carrier plates at a distance.
  • In the area of the free end of the T-shaped carrier plates is a receptacle of a connecting bolt for connection to the Pressing unit.
  • the swivel arms slide with their contact surfaces on Press device along backwards.
  • the tensile force is applied to the T-shaped via the connecting bolt Transfer carrier plates.
  • the swivel arms pivot around the Bearing pins and the press jaws are moved against each other and pressed together.
  • a disadvantage of this pressing tongs is that the Swivel jaws free around the bearing bolts opposite the T-shaped support plates are pivotable. Therefore, the swivel jaws can move longitudinally against each other shift a certain amount. This causes the Clamping jaws and thus the actual clamping surfaces against each other in the longitudinal direction can be slightly shifted. This then results in an inaccurate pressing of the fitting with the pipe. There is also a risk that the fitting and / or pipe at the start of the Injection can be damaged so that a sealing connection is not guaranteed is.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a pressing tongs of the type mentioned, which a prevents inaccurate commencement of the pressing and the resulting disadvantages overcomes.
  • FIG. 1 shows a press device with associated, interchangeable press tongs shown.
  • the pressing device 2 comprises a drive unit and a connection unit to connect with a crimping pliers 1.
  • the connection unit consists of two Holding plates 22.
  • the pressing tongs 1 with their two T-shaped carrier plates 11, 11 ' inserted between the holding plates 22.
  • a connecting pin 22 through the holding plates and a receiving opening 112 on the T-shaped carrier plates 11, 11 'pushed through and secured.
  • the press device is now ready for use.
  • the pressing tongs 1 arrive with their two swivel arms 12 when actuated Contact surfaces 23 on the device 2 for contact. When pulling the crimping tool further 1, the swivel arms 12 are pushed sideways outward and thus the pressure completed.
  • the pressing tongs 1 are shown in more detail in FIG. It refers to one according to the prior art.
  • the pressing tongs 1 consist of two T-shaped ones Carrier plates 11, 11 '.
  • the carrier plates 11, 11 'each have one on the side of the beam Bolt bearing 113, 113 '.
  • the receiving opening 112 is located at the free end for receiving the connecting bolt 21.
  • the swivel arms 12, 12 ' are between the two T-shaped support plates 11, 11 'pivotally supported by one each Bearing pins 13, 13 ', which are held in the pin bearings 113 113'.
  • the Swivel arms 12, 12 ' form jaws 14, 14' in the front part, which have opposing pressing surfaces 15, 15 '.
  • the pressing surfaces 15, 15 ' form an opening in the closed state of the pressing tongs, which is approximately the same Diameter of the pipes to be pressed, respectively.
  • Connection sleeves corresponds. This Opening is limited by front end edges 16 and rear end edges 17. in the when closed, the front edges of both jaws lie on top of each other.
  • the Bearing bolts 13 can be secured to the T-shaped support plates by means of retaining rings 131 11, 11 'be secured.
  • both swivel arms (12, 12 ') are now by means of one Active connection so connected that it is compulsorily even and opposite are pivotable.
  • the active connection of the two swivel arms (12, 12 ') consists of nearly interlocking driver elements.
  • FIG Exploded view of Figure 3 clearly visible.
  • the swivel arms are now according to the invention each provided with a storage area 18, 18 '.
  • the storage area is located on an imaginary connecting line between the swivel bearings 132 through which the bearing bolts 13 are guided.
  • Each storage area includes one Half of a bearing for a guide pin 183.
  • This bearing includes one Bearing shell 182, 182 ', each of the guide pin 183 by less than half embraces. This is necessary because the swivel arms 12, 12 'when actuated by the Swivel bearing 132 are pivoted and thus a little around Turn guide pin 183.
  • the guide pin has the two bearing areas 18, 18 ' and so that the swivel arms 12, 12 'rotatably connect each other, so both Swing arms forcibly swung evenly and in opposite directions.
  • the guide pin 183 the pivoting movements of the pivot arms 12, 12 ' leads symmetrically.
  • the clamping jaws 14, 14 'with the pressing surfaces 15, 15 ' also pivoted exactly symmetrically and each pressing takes place in the same way accuratly.
  • the Guide pin When the swivel arms 12, 12 'are actuated, the Guide pin relative to the T-shaped support plates 11, 11 'in the longitudinal direction somewhat moved backwards or forwards. Therefore, it must not be fixed to the carrier plates 11, 11 'be connected. It is therefore provided with the smoothest possible end faces so that it as smoothly as possible on the inner surfaces of the T-shaped carrier plates slides.
  • the bearing areas 18, 18 ' provided with pin guide surfaces 185 between the bearing shells 182, 182 '.
  • the Guide pin 183 now has shoulders 1831, which form stop surfaces 1832.
  • the guide pin 183 is now held rotatably in the bearing shells 182, 182 ', wherein he with his stop surfaces 1832 from the pin guide surfaces 185 through Striking is performed.
  • the guide pin 183 is so short that it is in the Storage area is kept properly and not in contact with its end faces can come with the inner surfaces of the T-shaped support plates 11, 11 '.
  • a further improvement of the pressing tongs is achieved by using an expansion spring 184 reached. It is now possible to design the spreading spring 184 as a spiral spring, which the guide pin 183 at least partially, preferably several times.
  • the Spreading spring 184 as a spiral spring made of spring steel wire holds an extraordinarily large number Stress cycles stand and do not tend to break. It is also on the guide pin 183 perfectly stored and well managed.
