Abstract
Description
- The present invention generally refers to handling equipments of the so-called swingable lever type. These equipments comprise a body to which a lever element is externally associated which is susceptible to oscillate between two end-of-stroke angular positions, and the movement of which is controlled by the sliding of a stem actuated by a pressurized fluid control actuator, typically of the pneumatic type, through a toggle mechanism enclosed within the body and operatively connected to an end of the stem.
- In a typical application the lever element has the function of an arm supporting an operating unit, such as a working equipment, at its end farther from the body, in which case the handling equipment is called "tilter unit" because allows the operating unit to be tilted between two positions defined by the end-of-stroke angular positions of the arm of the equipment.
- More specifically, the invention concerns a stopping device of the type mentioned in the preamble of attached claim 1.
- In known equipments of the type defined above, during maintenance operations, or owing to a failure causing a pressure drop in the feeding line of the fluid, an accidental interruption of the pressurized fluid feeding to the control actuator or a reduction of the pressure below a predetermined threshold may occur. In this circumstance the swingable arm of the equipment may lie in an intermediate position between the aforesaid end-of-stroke angular positions. In particular, if the arm supports a heavy apparatus, it may fall back abruptly towards one of the end-of-stroke angular positions, with consequent risks for the integrity of the structure of the equipment and of the corresponding apparatus, as well as for the safety of any operators possibly present near to the equipment.
- In order to avoid these drawbacks, a number of devices have been proposed for controlling the movement of the arm of such an equipment, for example for applying a friction force by means of rollers or balls on the outer surface of the stem, or including a plate element with a through-hole crossed by the stem and intended to assume a tilted configuration with respect to the stem in order to stop by interference its axial movement, when a feeding pressure drop below a predetermined threshold takes place.
- However, these known control devices are usually not very reliable and accurate since their operation suffers from the wear of the components. Moreover, they are not very easy to use since, in the more general case, they allow the movement of the stem to be stopped only in one of its movement directions, and therefore they must be doubled in number whenever it is desired to stop the movement of the stem in both directions of movement.
- Another known device which is adapted to prevent the violent fall of the arm in case of an anomaly in feeding the pressurized fluid to the control actuator, is the subject of European patent application
EP-1 300 625 in the name of the same Applicant. The device of this application comprises stopping means that include a rotatable worm member engaging an axial cavity of the stem and having a head provided with an axial toothing facing on a corresponding toothing of a movable element axially associated to the bottom of the actuator. In the case of a reduction of the pressure in the circuit for feeding fluid to the actuator, elastic means apply a thrust on the axially movable element, thereby bringing the aforesaid toothings in mutual engagement in order to stop the movement of the stem and therefore the oscillation of the arm. Although highly effective in its operation, this known solution turns out to be generally expensive and complex to be manufactured. - The main object of the present invention is to propose a stopping device for an handling equipment of the swingable lever type, which automatically acts when an anomaly takes place in the feeding of the pressurized fluid to the actuator in order to stop the angular movement of the arm of the equipment, and which is effective in its operation and relatively simple and inexpensive to be manufactured.
- This object is attained by virtue to a stopping device having the features mentioned in the attached claims.
- According to a feature of the invention, the device comprises a first engagement member axially fixed to the body and a second engagement member movable together with the stem, such engagement members having respective reciprocally facing active surfaces adapted to reach a frontal engagement condition as a result of the transverse movement of one of them with respect to the stem, when a pressure drop of the fluid fed to said control means takes place, with the aim of stopping the movement of the stem.
- By virtue of such a feature, the stopping device of the invention is characterized by a simple structure allowing a quick and effective stop of the swingable arm of the equipment when an anomaly takes place in the feeding of the control means. Moreover, the device is small sized thus allowing its application to the normally used equipments with few structural modifications, and involving limited production costs.
- According to a preferred feature of the invention, the engagement formations are teeth, so that each engagement member consists of a rack. In this manner the engagement formations can be made in a simple and economic manner.
- According to another preferred feature of the invention, the teeth of each rack are round-topped teeth and have substantially parallel flanks.
- Further features and advantages of the invention will become more clear from the following detailed description, given by way of a non-limitative example only, and referred to the attached drawings in which:
-
figure 1 is a side elevation view of the body of an handling equipment provided with a stopping device according to the invention, -
figure 2 is a front elevation view partially sectioned along line II-II offigure 1 , -
figures 3 and 4 are perspective views of the two half-shells of the body of the handling equipment in the open condition, respectively, -
figure 5 is a side elevation view of the half-shell, from the side of arrow V offigure 4 , -
figure 6 is a schematic perspective view of two main elements of the stopping device of the invention, which in use condition are respectively associated to the half-shell offigure 3 and to the stem of the equipment, and -
figure 7 is an enlarged, front elevation view of a detail indicated by arrow VII infigure 1 . - With reference to the figures, the body of a handling equipment of the swingable lever type is indicated by 10, and comprises a pair of half-
shells - The two half-
shells crank 16 is arranged, from which crank a pair of appendages extend axially and define ashaft 18 havingopposite end portions body 10. Eachportion shaft 18 has a pair of diametricallyopposite flats 20a, 22a provided for rotationally fixing branches of an arm or lever (not shown because known per se) on theshaft 18. Such arm can be used for supporting a working apparatus, in the case of an handling equipment employed as a tilter device. - The
crank 16 has a fork-shaped portion comprising a pair ofparallel arms 24 extending inside the cavity of thebody 10, whose ends opposite to theshaft 18 are articulated at 26 to a first end of a connectingrod 28 through a pin. The second end of the connectingrod 28 is in turn articulated at 30 to afork element 32 by means of a pin, which fork element is articulated to the upper end (with reference to the drawings) of astem 34 whose top portion is only shown in the drawings. - In a per se known manner, the
stem 34 is axially slidably mounted in thebody 10 in the direction transverse to theshaft 18, and its sliding is controlled by fluid control means, usually constituted by a double or single action cylinder (not shown in the drawings because known per se) connected to the base of thebody 10. In the more common case, the cylinder that controls the sliding of thestem 34 is a pneumatic cylinder having a chamber in which a piston rigidly connected to thestem 34 is sealingly and slidably mounted. In this chamber, compressed air is fed at least at one side of the piston, in order to cause the reciprocating movement of thestem 34. - The unit including the
crank 16, the connectingrod 28 and thefork element 32 constitutes a toggle articulation mechanism, indicated 33 as a whole, the function of which is to make irreversible the position of thecrank 16 and theshaft 18 which correspond to the maximum extension of thestem 34, as shown infigures 3 to 5 . - The sliding of the
stem 34 controlled by the corresponding control means through thetoggle articulation mechanism 33, causes an angular oscillation of theend portions shaft 18 between two predetermined end-of-stroke angular positions, and therefore an oscillation of the arm fixed to theshaft 18 as well as of the relative equipment supported by the arm. - A
bracket element 36 is connected close to the upper end of thestem 34, for example by means of afixing pin 38. Anengagement member 40 is fixed to thebracket element 36 so as to be axially movable together with thestem 34. Themember 40 has an active surface provided with engagement formations that extend transverse to thestem 34 and preferably comprise a series ofteeth 41, as a result of which theelement 40 is constituted by a rack. - A
further engagement member 42 is fixed axially to thebody 10 and has an active surface facing on theteeth 41 of therack 40. Themember 42 having an elongate shape is housed in a corresponding hollow seat 43 adjacent to an axial edge of the half-shell 12. Its active surface is provided with engagement formations preferably in form ofteeth 41 that project in the direction transverse to thestem 34 and have a profile corresponding to those of themember 40, as result of which also themember 42 is preferably constituted by a rack. - The profile of the
teeth 41 of theracks - The
rack 42 has an axial extension substantially equal to the full stroke of thestem 34 and is mounted transversely translatably with respect to thestem 34, and therefore to therack 40. Therack 40 conveniently has a smaller axial extension than therack 42. - The possibility of movement of the two
racks figure 6 . In particular, therack 40 is susceptible to move along an axial direction A-A parallel to thestem 34, while therack 42 can translate along a direction B-B transverse to thestem 34. - In order to allow the
rack 42 to move transversely to thestem 34, atransverse guide pin 44 is provided, which passes through the wall of the half-shell 12 with an axial clearance. Thepin 44 has a normally threaded free end 44a adapted to engage a central threaded portion of therack 42, in order to guide and bound the movement of therack 42 with respect to thebody 10. At the side opposite to the end 44a, thepin 44 is provided with a head projecting outside of thebody 10 for being driven, typically by means of a tool such as a spanner or a screwdriver, in order to allow the fine tuning of the maximum translation of therack 42 towards therack 40. - The translation of the
rack 42 towards therack 40 is controlled by at least oneactuator 46, a pair ofequal actuators 46 being preferably provided at the same distance but on opposite sides with respect to thepin 44. - Each
actuator 46 comprises anauxiliary piston 48 slidably mounted in acylindrical seat 50 formed in the wall of the half-shell 12, which seat defines achamber 51 on the side facing towards therack 42. To each piston 48 acoaxial rod 52 is connected rigidly, the free end of which, on the side adjacent to therack 42, has a threadedportion 54 engaging a corresponding thread of atransverse hole 56 of therack 42. In this manner, an axial movement of therods 52 of theactuators 46 determines a corresponding movement of therack 42 with respect to thebody 10 and therack 40, thanks to the axial clearance of thepin 44. - Elastic thrust means 58, preferably consisting of a pack of Belleville washers for compactness reasons, are coaxially mounted on each
auxiliary piston 48 in such a manner that a first end of them rests against the surface of thepiston 48 opposite to thechamber 51, while the other end rests against a removable cover 60, normally fixed to thebody 10 of the equipment. - In the
chambers 51 of theactuators 46 the same pressurized fluid is admitted to the control means of the equipment, through ducts indicated generally by 62. In the case of a plurality ofactuators 46, as in the embodiment shown in the figures, or of a different number ofactuators 46, theactuators 46 are put in communication with one another by means of feeding ducts allowing the pressurized fluid to reach thecorresponding chambers 51 simultaneously. - Behind the back surface of the
rack 40 opposite to its active surface provided withteeth 41, anelongate counter plate 63 is fixed to the half-shell 14, typically by means of screws, which plate is separated by a small distance from the back surface of therack 40. On the surface of theplate 63 facing towards the rack 40 a series offriction elements 64 is provided, which friction elements are realized for example by means of rough linear formations arranged transverse to the extension of theplate 63. The function of theplate 63 will become more clear in the following. - In operation of the equipment, the pressurized fluid fed to the control means of the equipment causes, thanks to the
toggle mechanism 28, the reciprocating axial movement of thestem 34 that in turn causes the rotation of theshaft 18 between a pair of predetermined end-of-stroke angular positions, and therefore the oscillation movement of an arm rotationally fixed to theshaft 18 as well as of any equipments possibly supported by it. - The same fluid, which is fed to the
chambers 51 throughducts 62, applies a pressure on the auxiliary pistons which tends to keep thepistons 48 in a position spaced from thestem 34, against the elastic action of thewashers 58 of theactuators 46. Owing to the thrust exerted by theactuators 46, therack 42 remains separated from therack 40. - Of course, the load of the
washers 58 of theactuators 46 is calculated in such a manner that therack 42 remains spaced from therack 40 when the pressure of the fluid in thechambers 51 is greater than a predetermined threshold. - If the pressure of the fluid in the
chamber 51 of theactuators 46 drops below the aforesaid predetermined threshold, for example owing to a failure interrupting the supply of pressurized fluid to the equipment, or during operations of maintenance, the elastic action of thewashers 58 causes the movement of therods 52 towards thestem 34, and therefore the movement of therack 42 towards therack 40, in the direction indicated by arrow C infigure 6 . In this situation, theteeth 41 of therack 42 engage frontally theteeth 41 of therack 40 causing the stroke of thestem 34 to stop and therefore the movement of oscillation of the arm fixed to theshaft 18 to stop. - As a result of the transverse translation of the
rack 42 and the engagement of its teeth with those of therack 40, therack 40 is subject only to a small transverse movement until its back surface rests against theplate 63, in such a manner that therack 40 and thecorresponding bracket element 36 are subject only to a limited bending load, and the sliding movement of therack 40 is further slowed down owing to the engagement of its back surface with thefriction elements 64 of theplate 62.
