Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dynamometric tool for tightening fasteners, of the type comprising an elongated outer body extending along a longitudinal axis and wherein the head of the tool is rotatable; a pusher movable axially in the outer body and biased towards the head by a calibrated spring; a force transmission member interposed between the front end of the pusher and the rear end of the head, this member being able to urge the head into mechanical balance under the action of the pusher and to break the balance under the action of a tightening torque greater than a predetermined threshold; means for detecting the mechanical equilibrium breakage by detecting the displacement of a constituent part of the tool; and triggering means for sending information corresponding to the breaking of mechanical equilibrium, said triggering means being in connection with said detection means, said displacement controlling the triggering of sending of information by said means of detection; trigger.
- the invention is particularly applicable to trigger keys, key breakers and torque screwdrivers.
- the dynamometer tool manufacturers propose mechanical tools, the principle of which is based on an equilibrium break in the head of the tool that is highly noticeable, making it possible to detect the break in equilibrium by a device comprising an electrical circuit provided with a switching means whose state is changed by the breaking of equilibrium, and a processing unit, adapted to exploit the information relating to the state of said switching means.
- the entire detection device is generally housed in a housing fixed externally to the body of the tool (see for example FR-A-2 842 449).
- this known construction uses an integrated switch inside the key. This poses problems of reliability of electrical contact insofar as In the case of mechanically broken tools, the switch is located in an environment containing a large quantity of electrically conductive grease.
- a main aim is to overcome these drawbacks, and to provide a dynamometric tool to increase the reliability of detection of the breakage of equilibrium without increasing the size of the tool.
- the mechanical balance failure detection means are adapted to detect a significant displacement of the pusher.
- said detection means are entirely contained inside the outer body; said detection means cooperate with a tip, positioned between the pusher and the calibrated spring, and conjugated with a portion of the section of the outer body, said detection means being arranged in the rest of this section;
- a support of said detection means guides the end piece
- the detection means comprise non-contact means;
- the detection means comprise a Hall effect sensor cooperating with at least one magnetic element;
- the sensor is secured to the outer body and the magnetic element comprises a magnetic bar, secured to said tip;
- the detection means are in a first state as the pusher is in its rest position corresponding to the mechanical balance of the head and in a second state when the pusher moves axially backward.
- the detection means detect a displacement corresponding to the change from the first state to the second state
- the detection means further detect a second displacement corresponding to the change of the second state towards the first state, this second displacement controlling a second triggering of sending of information by said triggering means; -
- the tool is either a trigger key or a key breaker or a screwdriver.
- Figure 1 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of a torque wrench according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view along line H-II of the key illustrated in Figure 1
- - Figure 3A is a top view, partially cut away, of the key illustrated in Figure 1 when the key is in the mechanical equilibrium position
- Figure 3B is a detailed sectional view, along line IIIB-IIIB, of the key illustrated in Figure 3A when the key is in the mechanical equilibrium position
- FIG. 4A is a view analogous to FIG. 3A showing the key in the mechanical equilibrium breaking position
- Figure 4B is a view similar to Figure 4A showing the key in mechanical balance breaking position
- Figure 5 is a graph of a measurement curve corresponding to the time-dependent tightening of the key illustrated in the drawings.
- FIG. 1 to 4B is shown a torque wrench according to the invention, the key having a longitudinal axis X-X, oriented horizontally for the convenience of the description.
- the key 1 essentially comprises a driving head 5 at the front of the key, a handle gripping assembly 7 located at the rear of the key, and a tubular outer body 3 of generally cylindrical shape, defining an external intermediate hollow body.
- the tubular body 3 is formed of an outer sheath 3A and an inner tube 3B, the sheath 3A being fit-fitted on the tube 3B and covering the tube 3B in the front part thereof.
- the sheath 3A, the tube 3B and the head 5 are preferably metal parts.
- the key represented is of the production key type. For this type of tool, it is not necessary to readjust the triggering torque frequently. he -AT-
- the drive head 5 is a part which comprises a front block 21 projecting from the front of the body 3, an intermediate hinge zone 23, and a rear arm 25 fitted with play in the tube 3 and mounted with the possibility of pivoting on the tube 3B about a ZZ axis materialized by a pin 27 and assumed vertical.
- the pin 27 traverses diametrically the hinge zone 23, the sheath 3A and the tube 3B, being integral with the latter two.
- the block 21 has, from its front end, an attachment 29, in which can be fitted and attach an actuator (not shown).
- the latter is typically a reversible ratchet head, provided with a drive square on which fits a screw socket.
- the handle assembly 7 is fixedly mounted on the tubular body 3 and comprises an outer sleeve 101.
- the sleeve has in the distal portion or before four lights 101 A which, once the assembly of the key is made, are arranged opposite four light emitting diodes (LEDs) 78 uniformly distributed angularly, whose function will be described later.
- LEDs light emitting diodes
- an externally threaded cylinder 35 provided with a drive form 37 facing the rear end of the tube 3B, and whose external thread cooperates with an internal thread formed on a rear section of the tube 3B.
- the threaded cylinder 35 can thus be screwed or unscrewed inside the tube 3B so as to be displaced axially, and thus forms a rear stop mechanism axially adjustable and integral with the tube 3B; a rear end 63 which comprises a proximal or rear face on which a ball 64 rests, itself in contact with the front end face of the cylinder 35, and a distal face on which a centering stud 63A extends axially; a calibrated coil spring 61 having a high stiffness, and whose rear end is centered on the stud 63A and rests on the distal face of the rear nozzle 63; a front end piece 65, of non-magnetic material, in the form of a cylindrical sector extending over approximately 135 °, whose rear end has a stud 65A intended to center the front end of the spring 61.
- the front end piece 65 is delimited by a flat 66 on which protrudes a guide portion 65B of parallelepiped shape extending along the longitudinal axis XX of the key.
- the guide portion 65B comprises two lateral faces 65E parallel to each other and to the X-Z plane.
- a blind bore 65C extends along a vertical diametrical axis and opens into the upper face 65D of the guide portion 65B.
- the front end 65 can slide axially guided in the tube 3B; -
- a magnetic bar 65F is disposed in the bore 65C and is flush with the upper face 65D of the guide portion 65B of the nozzle 65;
- a pusher 66 of generally cylindrical shape, has a rear face bearing on the front end 65.
- the pusher 66 can slide axially guided in the tube 3B, under the effect of the biasing of the spring 61, transmitted by the front end piece 65; a cubic die 67 applies, in a rest position corresponding to the equilibrium of the head 5, on the bottoms of two conjugate recesses, one formed in the rear face of the arm 25 and the other in the front face pusher 66, these faces being vertical and facing one another.
- the assembly formed of the pusher 66 and die 67 defines an axial bearing means on the arm 25.
- the axial position of the threaded cylinder 35 determines the compression of the spring 61, and thus the axial bearing force of the pusher 66 on the arm 25, through the die 67.
- contactless detection means 130 detect the axial displacement of the pusher 66 and / or the spring 61.
- a Hall effect sensor 131 positioned in a plane parallel to the axis XX and perpendicular to the axis ZZ, and integral with a sensor support 132.
- a sheet 133 connects the sensor to an electric circuit 134 disposed inside the handle 7.
- the tube 3B comprises, facing the element of which at least one displacement must be detected, in this case the endpiece 65, a light 3C in which is positioned by stapling a plastic part 135 of complementary shape to that of the light 3C and integrating perfectly in the tube section 3B.
- the plastic part 135 forms a frame in which is fixed, for example by gluing, the assembly formed of the sensor support 132 and the sensor 131.
- the sensor support 132 has an outwardly facing section of the tube 3B of complementary shape to that of the tube 3B, and a section facing the inside of the tube 3B comprising two fins 132A whose inner faces 132B respectively are able to slide on the faces 65E of the guide portion 65B of the front end 65.
- An internal circuit 134 in the key comprises electronic means for acquiring the state changes of the Hall effect sensor 131 for detecting, for example, whether or not the mechanical equilibrium break occurred.
- the electrical circuit 134 also comprises electronic means for triggering sending of information corresponding, for example, to the detection of a break in equilibrium.
- FIG. 3B shows the relative position of the magnetized bar 65F relative to the Hall effect sensor 131 before the mechanical equilibrium break.
- the magnet 65F is at less in part opposite the sensor 131.
- the sensor 131 is then in a first state.
- FIG. 4B shows the relative position of the magnetic bar 65F with respect to the sensor 131 after the break in mechanical equilibrium.
- the front end 65 has moved axially backwards in a first direction indicated by the arrow F.
- the magnet 65F is no longer facing the sensor 131.
- the sensor 131 is then in a second state.
- This change of state of the Hall effect sensor 131 from its first state to its second state makes it possible to reliably detect a first significant displacement of the pusher 66, corresponding to the rupture of the mechanical balance of the head 5 of the dynamometric tool 1.
- the first movement controls a first trigger sending information by the sending trigger means.
- the rearming of the key can be detected by a second displacement in the same direction as the first displacement, but in the opposite direction, that is, forward.
- the resetting of the key causes a change of state of the sensor which passes from the second state to the first state.
- This second movement commands a second triggering of sending information by the sending triggering means.
- Information from the electronic equipment of the key described above can be displayed via a display device.
- the information relating to the break in mechanical equilibrium is, in the example shown, transmitted to the operator by illumination of light-emitting diodes 78 located in the handle assembly 7.
- FIG. 5 represents a measurement curve of the tightening torque Ci in the time t, characteristic of a key with a mechanical breakaway trigger. From a first threshold CSO, the curve has three successive peaks 301, 303 and 307, separated by two valley shapes 305 and 309 adjacent to the peaks 301 and 307. When the setpoint torque predetermined by the compression of the spring 61 is reached, the key undergoes a break mechanical balance defining the tripping A. The peak 301 corresponds to the torque applied just before the break of equilibrium. The valley form 305 corresponds to the breakage of mechanical equilibrium.
- the operator does not instantly release the force exerted on the key.
- Over-torque that is to say an additional torque to the predetermined setpoint torque, is thus applied to the fastening element after the triggering of the key.
- the peak 303 corresponds to the excess torque applied after the break in equilibrium, that is to say the maximum torque applied to the fixing element once the equilibrium has been broken.
- the operator has identified the mechanical breakage of the key, it releases the force exerted on the key.
- the mechanical elements of the key tend to return to their rest position corresponding to the mechanical balance of the head.
- the pair reaches a valley-shaped threshold 309 just before resetting B of the key in its rest position corresponding to the mechanical balance.
- the reset of the key creates a shock represented by the peak 307.
- the mechanical equilibrium break detection is thus performed by analyzing the change in state of the Hall effect sensor 131 at the moment of tripping and at the time of reset.
- the detection of the breakage of mechanical equilibrium is essential to count, for example, the number of cycles performed by a production operator and thus improve the traceability. It also reliably measures the maximum torque actually applied to each fastener.
- the break in equilibrium is reliably detected in all cases, even if a relatively elastic mechanical chain consisting of key accessories and / or extensions makes the noticeable equilibrium shocks and peaks 301 and 307.
- a torque wrench trigger as described above, but it could also be suitable for other torque tools, for example a wrench or a torque screwdriver.
- a key wrench is a key whose outer body shifts angularly relative to the head, a relatively large and visible angle, when a predetermined applied torque is reached.
- the invention which has just been described makes it possible to improve the traceability of the fastenings by making reliable the detection of mechanical equilibrium breaks, without additional space requirement, for a dynamometric tool.
