Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pressing tool for pressing workpieces, in particular of a fitting with an inserted pipe end, with at least two pressing jaws, which are hinged to each other for enclosing a workpiece and at least one hinge axis is disposed opposite to an opening portion of the pressing jaws, wherein adjacent to the at least one hinge axis is arranged a pressing element which is moved when closing the pressing jaws to the workpiece.
  • a pressing tool according to the preamble of claim 1, known with a plurality of pressing jaw elements which are hinged together and are contractible in an opening area via a pressing jaw to press a workpiece received in the pressing jaw members workpiece.
  • an opening gap between adjacent pressing jaw elements is inevitably provided, in which the material to be pressed can be squeezed outwards and form wrinkles.
  • the press level ie in a plane perpendicular to the pressing force of the pressing pliers can be poorly transmitted pressing forces on the workpiece.
  • the previously derived and indicated object is achieved according to the invention in a pressing tool of the type mentioned above in that the pressing element has wedge surfaces on the side facing the pressing jaws, against which pressure surfaces of the pressing jaws engage during pressing of the workpiece.
  • a pressing element is mounted, that is movable when closing the pressing jaws to the workpiece.
  • the pressing element presses the workpiece during pressing in the direction of the opening region of the pressing jaws, so that all forces are present for pressing the workpiece by the opposing forces occurring there.
  • the advantage is utilized that the pressing element is initially arranged in a slightly retracted position before pressing and when closing the pressing jaws, the workpiece can first be printed in the direction of the hinge axis to close the pressing jaws initially something. In a next phase, however, pressing forces in the area of the press plane between the opening area and the hinge axis will be applied. Due to the uniform compression of the workpiece, it is possible to avoid wrinkling in the region of the opening area, since in this area pressing forces are applied only when the pressing jaws are largely closed.
  • the pressing element has wedge surfaces on the side facing the pressing jaws, against which pressure surfaces of the pressing jaws engage during the pressing of the workpiece.
  • the pressing element can be moved in the radial direction to the workpiece by the closing movement of the pressing jaws.
  • the movement path of the pressing element can be defined during the closing movement of the pressing jaws. In this case, a corresponding power boost can be achieved here.
  • two pressing jaws are provided which are rotatable about a hinge axis formed as a pin.
  • the pressing element may have a leg with a slot, which is penetrated by the bolt. This is a particularly simple way of displaceable fixing of the pressing element.
  • two legs can embrace the pressing jaws in a U-shape.
  • the pressing jaws In order to be able to apply pressing forces particularly well in the area of the pressing level, the pressing jaws have, adjacent to the opening area, projections which engage in one another like a comb when the pressing jaws are closed. In this case, each projection of a pressing jaw can be associated with a recess on the opposite pressing jaw. Although, in the opening region, a gap must still be formed between the pressing jaws before pressing, but this no longer extends over the entire width of the jaw Pressing jaws, but is divided into several smaller sections by the projections. This avoids the risk of wrinkling in the area between the pressing jaws, because the individual projections support the workpiece in this area.
  • a pressing tool 1 comprises two pressing jaws 2 and 3, which are connected to one another via a hinge axis designed as a pin 4.
  • an opening portion 5 is formed so that a workpiece 6 between the pressing jaws 2 and 3 can be inserted and initially only loosely enclosed by the pressing jaws 2 and 3.
  • the workpiece 6 is formed in the embodiment as a metal fitting into which a pipe end can be inserted.
  • an annular bead 7 is provided with a sealing ring, wherein the pressing jaws 2 and 3 have an inner contour intended for pressing, which is adapted to the shape of the fitting 6.
  • the size of the material deformation by the compression can be adapted to the particular application.
  • a pressing element 8 is provided, which is received in each half in one of the pressing jaws 2 and 3 respectively.
  • the pressing element 8 has in the edge region wedge-shaped surfaces 9 and 11, which are formed in engagement with substantially parallel thereto extending pressure surfaces 10 and 12.
  • a receptacle 14 is provided on the pressing jaw 2 and on the pressing jaw 3 a receptacle 15 for engagement with a pressing tongs.
  • the pressing jaw 2 has a projection 16 which protrudes beyond a side surface 20.
  • the pressing jaw 3 has a receptacle 17, which is dimensioned so that it can receive the projection 16 and is formed opposite to a side surface 19.
  • a projection 18 is formed on the pressing jaw 3, which can engage in a correspondingly formed receptacle on the pressing jaw 2. The projections 16 and 18 thus engage in the closing of the pressing jaws 2 and 3 in a comb-like manner.
  • the pressing jaws 2 and 3 are shown in the closed position, with the side surfaces 19 and 20 abutting one another.
  • the pressing element 8 is further pressed against the workpiece 6 and the inner contour of the pressing jaws 2 and 3 and of the pressing element 8 form a straight pressing contour without jumps and steps out.
  • the legs 21 surround the pressing jaws 2 and 3 U-shaped, so that the pressing member 8 is held captive on the pressing tool.
  • the pressing jaws 2 and 3 are first placed loosely around the fitting 6 and then the pressing tongs are attached to the receptacles 14 and 15 in order to close the pressing jaws 2 and 3.
  • the pressing jaws 2 and 3 are moved towards each other and the fitting 6 is pressed to the pressing element 8. Thereafter, the pressing member 8 abuts against the fitting 6 and is pressed by the pressing jaws 2 and 3 in the direction of the comb-like projections 16 and 17. This ensures a contact pressure in the area of the press level.
  • the pressing tool is particularly well suited for pressing pipe joints, whereby other workpieces can be pressed.
  • FIG. 5A and 5B another embodiment of a pressing tool 1 'is shown, which is designed as an attachment.
  • two opposing pressing jaws 2 'and 3' are provided, which form a cross-sectionally hexagonal press opening with a central annular portion and about mutually spaced axes 4 'are rotatable.
  • the axes 4 ' are formed as bolts and are fixed in the axial direction by a snap ring 5'.
  • the two axes 4 ' are connected to each other via a holding element 8'.
  • FIG. 6 shows a press tool 1 "designed as a press chain, in which the press jaws 2" and 3 "are formed from a plurality of links 31, 32 and 33 which can be abutted against one another on an inner surface to form a press surface 36 2 ' and 3 "are rotatable about an axis 4", wherein adjacent to the axis 4 "a radially displaceable pressing member 6" is provided which forms a portion 38 of the pressing surface 36 in the closed position.
  • the individual members 31, 32 and 33 are pivotally connected via axles 34, the axles 34 being fixed in the axial direction via a snap ring 35. Further, the members 31, 32 and 33 are biased by spring members 37 to facilitate assembly in a closed position.
  • the pressing chain is pulled together by a pressing tongs, not shown, wherein the pressing tongs in receptacles 39 on the pressing jaws 2 "and 3" engages.
  • the adjacently arranged to an opening portion members 33 of the pressing jaws 2 "and 3" engage in a comb-like manner during pressing.
  • FIG. 7A and 7B show a pressing tool formed as pressing tongs 1 "', which has two pressing jaws 2'" and 3 "'which enclose an inner pressing opening 40.
  • the pressing jaws 2'" and 3 '" are pivotable via a hinge mechanism and can be manually moved by means of two gripping levers 41 and 42.
  • a pressing element 6 "' which can be displaced for pressing opening 40 is arranged on the side of the pivoting axis, which is movable over two wedge surfaces 43.
  • the wedge surfaces 43 can not be arranged on the pressing jaws 2 '"and 3'" but on other movable components of the joint mechanism.
  • the pressing element 6 '" is displaceably mounted on a bolt 44 which engages through a respective slot 49 on a leg 46 of the pressing element 6'".
