Definitions

  • the present patent application relates to a combustion-powered setting tool referred to in the preamble of claim 1. Art.
  • Such setting tools can be operated with gaseous or vaporizable liquid fuels that are burned in a combustion chamber, thereby driving a driving piston for fasteners. After the setting process, the drive piston must be returned to its original position near the combustion chamber, so that the setting device is ready for another setting process.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to develop a setting tool of the aforementioned type, which allows a low-wear and reliable piston return.
  • the means for resetting the drive piston includes a pump which generates or at least amplifies the differential pressure for piston return.
  • the pump may be the only source for generating the differential pressure or it may amplify a thermally generated differential pressure.
  • the pump is formed as connected to the combustion chamber electric suction pump for generating a suction air, whereby a negative pressure can be generated in the combustion chamber, so that the voltage applied to the combustion chamber side facing away from the piston head ambient pressure can reset the drive piston in its initial position.
  • control unit for the pump, which controls the pump based on data determined by means of sensor means, whereby the pump can be operated efficiently and energy-saving.
  • the sensor means include a piston sensor which detects the position of the driving piston, so that a reset of the driving piston is detectable and so the control unit can turn off the pump after the reset.
  • the sensor means include a temperature sensor, so that the control unit only turns on the pump if the temperature difference between the device or combustion chamber temperature and the ambient temperature has a specific value falls below, so that a complete piston return is ensured. This measure also ensures high energy efficiency of the piston return device.
  • an electrically controllable shut-off valve is arranged, which is controlled by the control unit.
  • the check valve is closed by the control unit when the drive piston is again in its initial position, so that during a setting process, the pressure wave generated in the combustion chamber does not strike through to the pump and damage it.
  • the control unit can also at the end of a setting process, which z. B. detected via the piston sensor or determined by timing, causing an opening of the check valve, so that the pump is connected to the combustion chamber and can suck gases from the combustion chamber to generate a negative pressure there.
  • the invention is shown in one embodiment.
  • the drawing shows an inventive setting device in partial sectional view.
  • the setting device 10 shown in the figure can be operated with a fuel gas or with a vaporizable liquid fuel, and has a, arranged in a housing 13 setting network. About the network, a fastener, such as a nail, bolts, etc. are driven into a workpiece W when the setting tool 10 with its bolt guide 16, pressed against a workpiece W, and is triggered.
  • a trigger switch 42 is provided on the handle of the setting device 10 in addition to at least one safety switch in the form of a contact pressure switch.
  • the setting mechanism includes, inter alia, a combustion chamber 11, a piston guide 17, in which a drive piston 15 is slidably mounted, and the bolt guide 16 in which a fastener can be performed, and where a fastener moves over the forward moving Setzidess workede end of the drive piston 15, and can be driven into a workpiece W.
  • the bolt guide 16 closes in the setting direction of the piston guide 17.
  • the drive piston 15 has at its end facing the combustion chamber 11 a piston head 115 in the form of a piston plate, which is sealingly guided on the inner walls of the piston guide 17 and which separates a first space and a second space from each other in an axial direction defined by the piston.
  • an ignition device 14 such as. B. a spark plug, for igniting a, introduced for a setting process in the combustion chamber 11 oxidant-fuel mixture.
  • the supply of the fuel into the combustion chamber or into the combustion chamber 11 takes place via a fuel supply 19 from a fuel reservoir 12 or a fuel source.
  • a metering device 18 such as a mechanical or electronic metering valve arranged.
  • the fuel supply to the combustion chamber 11 z. B. be controlled by a not reproduced here mechanical or electronic control device.
  • an ignition via the ignition device 14, which ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber 11, is triggered via the trigger switch 42.
  • the displaced by the driving piston 15 air in the first space between the piston head 115 and the bolt guide 16 facing the end of the piston guide 17 can escape via the exhaust 41.
  • the expanding combustion gases from the combustion chamber 11 can also escape via the exhaust 41 as soon as the exhaust port is overrun by the piston head 115 and is in communication with the second space between the piston head 115 and the combustion chamber 11.
  • a pump 20 of the device for returning the driving piston 15 is also arranged.
  • This pump 20 is z. B. formed as a suction pump and includes a driven by an electric drive 21 piston 22 which runs in a cylinder 23. About a connecting rod 24, the piston 22 is mechanically connected to the electric drive 21.
  • the electrical energy for the electric drive 21 is supplied from an existing in the setting device 10 electrical energy source 32, the z. B. is designed as an accumulator or battery.
  • the pump 20 communicates via a line 27 with the combustion chamber 11, wherein in the line 27, a check valve 28 is interposed, which is electrically controlled by a control unit 30, which also controls the pump 20.
  • the check valve 28 closes in a blocking position shown in the figure, the line 27 and are in an open position, the pneumatic communication between the combustion chamber 11 and the pump 20 free.
  • the cylinder 23 of the pump 20 has an inlet 36 into which the line 27 opens and an outlet 35 to the environment, are discharged via the sucked gases from the combustion chamber 11 1 to the environment.
  • the entry of gases into the cylinder 23 enabling valve means 26 is arranged, which blocks in the opposite direction and prevents leakage of air or gases from the cylinder 23 into the combustion chamber 11 1.
  • the outflow of air or gases from the cylinder 23 enabling valve means 25 is arranged, which blocks in the opposite direction and prevents an inflow of ambient air into the cylinder 23.
  • the control unit 30 is connected to sensor means which comprise at least one piston sensor 31 for detecting the piston position and preferably at least one temperature sensor 33 for determining a temperature difference between the device or combustion chamber temperature and the ambient temperature.
  • the control unit 30 controls both the pump 20 and the check valve 28 on the basis of measured data from the piston sensor 31 and the temperature sensor 33.
  • the control unit 30 starts the pump 20 when an ambient temperature is determined by the temperature sensor which is so high that a determined temperature Difference temperature from the combustion chamber temperature and the ambient temperature falls below a set limit and the piston sensor 31 determines that the drive piston 15 is not in its initial position.
  • the control unit 30 then further causes the check valve 28 to go to the open position to allow communication between the combustion chamber 11 and the pump 20.
