Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a portable, hydraulically operated pressing tool for the compression of coupling elements, with a fork-shaped receptacle and held in this recording clamping pliers which can be actuated by means of a piston-cylinder unit with integrated return spring having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Portable, hydraulically operated pressing tools of the type mentioned are used for pressing of coupling elements, such as press sleeves, press fittings, pipe sleeves, telescoped pipe sections and the like.
  • the pressing tools have a clamping pliers with clamping jaws, which form a pressing space for receiving the coupling element to be pressed.
  • the pressing pressure necessary for the compression is supplied by a, generally hydraulic, drive.
  • the devices of interest here are preferably used on construction sites, they are usually electrically operated devices.
  • electrically operated press tool devices as they are known for example from EP-A-0'712'696 (Pamag AG).
  • Most of these devices are powered via the network.
  • the availability of electrical connections on construction sites is low. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to work off-grid by the device is operated by means of a battery.
  • the performance of battery-powered devices is highly dependent on energy economics so that reasonable battery life per battery charge can be achieved.
  • the hydraulic pump which is realized here as a piston pump, acts on a piston-cylinder unit with integrated return spring, wherein the pump is arranged completely in a hydraulic block, which is arranged between the drive-side gear and a piston-cylinder unit.
  • the solution according to the invention is realized by the use of a gear pump. Since a gear pump with sufficient power requires a lot of space, is their Arrangement in the device of crucial importance in order to achieve the said solution can, without significantly enlarging the device, which makes it unmanageable by the extra weight alone.
  • the invention achieves this by using, on the one hand, a modular construction in which the gear pump is arranged on the one hand in the hydraulic block, but on the other hand, it is supported on both sides of the hydraulic block in the two adjacent modules. This also results in an extremely compact arrangement with correspondingly short hydraulic lines and leads accordingly to a, despite built-in batteries, relatively light pressing tool.
  • the pressing tool 0 is an electro-hydraulic device, which is realized here as a battery-powered device.
  • the pressing tool 0 has a press tool unit 2 on which a handle 1 is formed.
  • a battery housing 6 is formed as a removable part.
  • a fork-shaped receptacle 3 can be seen.
  • the clamping pliers 4 is held. This is held secured by a locking pin 5 in the receptacle 3.
  • a trigger switch 8 is available for the operation of the device.
  • the actual structure of the press tool function unit 2 can be seen in FIG.
  • the electric motor 10 which is powered by the battery power supply 7. Between the electric motor 10 and the battery 7, the trigger switch 8 is arranged.
  • the electric motor 10 has an output shaft 11 with an end Abreteritzel 12.
  • This Abreteritzel 12 meshes with a transmission gear 13, which is mounted on a transmission output shaft 16.
  • the transmission output shaft 16 is supported on the one hand in a transmission bearing 14 and on the other hand in a transmission housing 15, which passes through the transmission output shaft 16 sealingly.
  • the transmission output shaft 16 forms one of the two rotor shafts 19 of a gear pump 18 (see Figure 3).
  • the lower rotor shaft 19 is also mounted in the transmission housing 15. The abutment of both rotor shafts 19 are held in the cylinder housing 21 of the piston-cylinder unit 20 in corresponding plain bearings.
  • a muzzle pin 27 is mounted at the bottom, communicating on the one hand with a variable volume reservoir 28 in connection and on the other hand via corresponding supply bores in the hydraulic block via a valve unit 31 to the gear pump 18 is connected.
  • a flow line 29 and a pressure line 30 are also realized as bores, via which the mentioned orifice pin 27 with the gear pump 18 on the one hand and on the other hand, the gear pump 18 communicates with the piston-cylinder unit 20 in communicating connection.
  • a piston chamber return 26 is provided, can be recycled via the displaced during the load stroke hydraulic oil via the muzzle pin 27 in the variable volume reservoir 28 or in the provision the piston according to hydraulic oil can be returned to the piston chamber.
  • the piston-cylinder unit 20 with the cylinder housing 21 is designed conventionally, with the exception of the integrated plain bearings for the rotor shafts of the gear pump.
  • the piston 20 on which a return spring 25 acts.
  • the piston 22 displaces via the piston rod 23 a roller bearing 24 for actuating the clamping tongs 4.
  • valve unit 31 has two housing parts which can be screwed together, the one housing part receiving the first, flow switching valve 32, while the second, larger housing part accommodates a ball valve 38 as a second valve.
  • the first valve 32 is separated from the second valve 38 by a valve plate 37.
  • a hollow piston 33 is mounted axially displaceable.
  • the path of the hollow piston 33 is limited on the input side by a securing ring 52 and on the other side by the valve plate 37.
  • the hollow piston 33 is completely open on the side directed toward the valve plate 37, while a relatively small relief bore 34 is arranged in the closed piston head end.
  • the housing part 33 'thus forms the cylinder of the valve, in which the hollow piston 33 is mounted axially movable.
  • a return spring 36 which rests on the one hand inside the piston head and on the other hand is supported on the valve plate 37.
  • the applied oil pressure D shifts the hollow piston 33 against the force of the return compression spring 36 until the hollow piston 33 releases the lateral flow openings 35 to the pressure line.
  • Via the pressure line 30 the hydraulic oil enters the piston-cylinder unit 20 and shifts the piston 22, which moves the roller bearing 24 with its piston rod 23, which leads to the operation of the clamping tongs 4.
  • the second valve 38 is, as already mentioned, a ball valve. This is on the one hand via the return bore 39 in communication with the pressure line and on the other hand via the through hole 40 through the valve plate 37 in communication with the cylinder 33 'of the first valve. However, this connection is opened or closed by the valve ball 41 depending on the pressure.
  • the second valve 38 has a valve body 42 with a valve body foot 43.
  • the valve body foot 43 has the shape of a circular disc which is integrally connected to the valve body 42 and in the center of a ball seat 53 is inserted, in which the valve ball 41 partially stored.
  • the valve plate 37 forms the valve seat for the valve ball 41.
  • a spring abutment 45 is screwed in the shape of a ring.
  • a compression spring 46 is arranged between the spring counter bearing 45 and the valve body 43.
  • the characteristic of this compression spring 46 determines the switching pressure. If the switching pressure is reached, the valve ball 41 is raised, a counter-pressure is created on the hollow piston 33, and the hollow piston 33 is displaced back to the securing ring 52 with the aid of the return pressure spring 36, the flow openings 35 being closed become. This is independent of whether the gear pump 18 still promotes or not.
  • a push button 48 If it comes from here not further discussed reasons for blocking or incomplete Hubausaims, it can be reduced by manual operation of a push button 48, the pressure.
  • the push button 48 is held by a return spring 47 in the starting position.
  • a tilting surface 50 By pressing the pushbutton 48, a rounded head 49 of the valve body 42 comes to lie in an eccentric bore, which is referred to as a tilting surface 50.
  • the head 49 is thereby pivoted to the side, wherein the entire valve body 42 participates this pivoting movement.
  • the valve body foot 43 comes with a tilting edge 44 on the valve plate 37 on one side to concern and pivots about the contact point.
  • the valve body foot 43 lifts slightly in the middle, whereby the valve ball 41 is depressurized.
  • the pressure can now dissipate through the through hole 40 in the valve plate 37 and the first valve 32 closes again.
  • the hollow piston 33 When closing the first valve 32, the hollow piston 33 jerks back. For the user, the beating of the valve is audible. As soon as he hears the closing of the valve, he will consequently release the trigger switch 8. But it is quite possible in the cylinder 33 'of the first valve 32 in lower region to arrange a sensor 51 which acts on the trigger switch 8, or the feed line from the battery 7 to the electric motor 10 interrupts. This sensor is activated with a time delay, so that it is activated only when the hollow piston 33 is in the opening state and thus only realizes the closing process. By means of such a sensor 51 it can be ensured that the user does not unnecessarily load the energy source after completion of a lifting movement.
  • the embodiment shown here shows a battery-powered device.
  • the enormous advantages, namely the short operating time per stroke, the extremely inexpensive manufacturability and the achievable by the compact arrangement weight saving are of course also desirable in network-dependent pressing tools.
  • the invention therefore also relates to network-dependent pressing tools.
