Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tool for the axial compression of fittings, which are radially deformed by means of axial pressing of a press ring so that they cause a positive and positive connection with the pipe to be connected.
  • Fittings in which a radial deformation of the sleeve is effected by the axial compression of a compression ring via a sleeve, are used to make connections between pipes that ensure a tight and permanent connection even at high pressures without additional sealing elements.
  • These fittings are made in different sizes and z. B. used in high-pressure fire extinguishing systems.
  • Tools are generally known, which are intended in contrast to the inventive task for the radial compression of fittings, as they are widely used for low pressure systems such as heating pipes. In these tools inserts are used to compress different dimensions.
  • Such a tool is in the EP 0826441 B1 described.
  • This pressing tool is used to make a cold connection between a fitting and a tube whose pressing jaws consist of two pressing jaw halves which form a pressing jaw.
  • the pressing jaw halves are rotatably mounted on bridge components extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the pressing jaw, and a half-ring-shaped insert piece is interchangeably fixed in the pressing jaw halves in the pressing jaw halves.
  • A, suitable for axial compression, tool is z.
  • the tool disclosed therein consists of two hingedly connected housing halves and is equipped with hydraulic pistons which are arranged in a circle around the fitting.
  • Other solutions such as those in the US 5,694,670 are disclosed, press tools that do not coaxial with the fitting, but with claws, which are mounted on a piston disposed axially parallel to the tube grip the fitting and press.
  • the force is introduced by two laterally arranged pistons which are mounted in the same housing and act together on the movable pressing jaw.
  • an extremely rigid structure is needed so that the moments occurring in practice do not lead to tilting and thereby jamming of the moving parts.
  • the tool can also be used only for one fitting dimension. Due to the open design, there is also a considerable risk in the operation of trapping foreign bodies or body parts.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to develop a tool for the axial compression of fittings, which introduces the forces in the fitting to be pressed so that no moments arise that burden the system.
  • the tool should be very compact, very light and so variable that with a tool fittings in one large dimension range, preferably between 12mm and 60mm can be pressed.
  • the force generated by hydraulic pistons is transferred to press plates so that they are coaxial with the fitting in a line almost through the center of gravity of the largest inserts, so that no moment can occur that acts on the housing halves.
  • This is possible because the pistons are not arranged in a circle around the fitting, but symmetrically to a line which runs parallel to the tool separation and approximately through the centroid of the inserts. Due to this arrangement, the tool can be constructed very narrow, so that the requirement for a compact size as possible can be met.
  • the tool can be very compact.
  • the joint connecting the two tool halves is expediently formed either over the entire height of the tool or at least at the lower and upper end of the tool, so that the two force-loaded regions of the tool are connected to one another and thus an exact reception of the fitting is ensured.
  • the two inner sides of the mold halves have a cylindrical recess, which makes it possible to receive a preassembled assembly, consisting of a fitting with an inserted tube and radially enclose.
  • the tool is opened, passed over the pipe fitting assembly and closed again.
  • the tool is automatically locked and can only be opened after a trigger mechanism has been actuated.
  • a display is preferably integrated, with the path of the press plate is made visible outside.
  • Handles are integrated into the tool, which are arranged so that the tool can be held in the open state symmetrical to the center of gravity of the tool.
  • the trigger mechanism is arranged so that it can be operated by the holding hand with the fingertips.
  • the tool can be equipped with interchangeable inserts, which are matched to the respective size of the fittings. These inserts are designed so that all have the same outer contour, which fits to the receiving contour of the press plate and have an adjusted to the respective fitting diameter inner contour. The thickness of the inserts is adjusted so that the individual length of the respective fitting correlates to the stroke of the tool.
  • Fig. 1 the tool is shown in the closed state viewed from above. It consists of the housing parts 1 and 2 and the two handles 3 and 4. On the front side between the handles, a plug-in coupling 5 is mounted for connection to a hydraulic pump by means of a hose with a plug-in coupling. Also visible are the two upper inserts 6 and 7.
  • Fig. 2 the tool is visible in the unfolded (opened) state. In this position, the tool can be guided over the assembly 19 and then closed again.
  • Fig. 3 it can be seen, while the assembly 19 is completely enclosed by the tool 20 consisting of the tube 20, the fitting 21 to be pressed and the pressing ring 22. It is shown that the pressing ring 22 rests in the starting position on the insert 13 and the fitting body 21 bears almost on the insert 6. The insert 13 is received by the pressing plate 14. The pressing plate 14 is pressed in this position by the return springs 23 to the housing part 1. The insert 6 is form-fitting from the housing 1 recorded and absorbs the force occurring during pressing.
  • Fig. 7 the crimped fitting is shown in the tool.
  • the pressing ring 22 is completely pushed onto the fitting body 21 and has the inner tube 20 connected to the fitting.
  • the pressing plate 14 has reached the uppermost position and the return springs 23 are maximally tensioned. After the reduction of the hydraulic pressure, the return springs cause the return of the pressure plate 14 to the starting position.
  • a closed locking mechanism is shown. This consists of a pin 12 which is biased by a spring 11 so that it engages in a tab 10.
  • the pin 12 can be pulled and the tool is unlocked and can then be opened, in which the housing part 1 is rotated about the axis 17.
  • the pin 12 is completely axially displaceable in the housing part 2.
  • the tab 10 is fixed in the housing 1.
  • FIG. 4 the tool is shown in the unfolded state.
  • the closing movement the housing 1 is rotated about the axis 17.
  • the pin 12 is displaced by the tab 10 and tensioned against the spring 11.
  • the pin 12 can retract by the spring force in the tab 10 and lock the tool so automatically.
  • the tool In use, the tool is held by the fitter on the two integrated handles 3 and 4.
  • the handles In FIG. 6 it is shown that the handles are connected by means of tabs 24 and 25 with the housing parts 1 and 2.
  • a pull knob 9 is arranged so that it can be operated out of the holding position with the fingertips.
  • FIG. 8 the arrangement of the piston 16 can be seen. These are arranged so that the resulting force is almost on the centroid of the inserts 6 and 13. The forces can be dissipated in the housing, without a moment arises.
  • the hinge in the housing part 1 is formed by the axis 17 and is arranged outside the center.
  • the two housing parts 1 and 2 can be performed as a mirror image.
  • the housing part 2 also has an axis 18. To this, the housing part 2 can be pivoted. Advantageously, this joint is blocked, so that a simple operation is possible.
  • the two housing parts 1 and 2 are connected by two tabs 27 and 29, and via the hydraulic distributor 26 with each other. This is in Fig. 6 seen.
  • the upper tab 27 also serves as a guide for the pin 12 of the lock and as an abutment for the compression spring 11, which presses the locking pin in the locked position.
  • the hydraulic medium is introduced through the plug-in coupling 5 and then passed through holes so that it is forwarded axially via corresponding holes in the housing parts 1 and 2 to the cylinder.
  • the hydraulic distributor 26 functions as a joint.
  • the two axes 17 and 18 are mounted so that both joints are formed over the entire height of the tool. The axes are held by the tabs 24 and 25 in the housing parts 1 and 2. Since the pressing process in the completely encapsulated interior of the Tool expires, the progress of the compression can be followed by means of indicator pins 8, for example, on the sides of the tool.
  • the inserts 13 can be connected by means of the screws 28 with the press plates.
  • Fig. 11 an insert 6 is shown.
  • the force-receiving surface 31 is formed so that by the size of a recess 30 z. As a chamfer, the position of the force application point is controlled.
  • FIG. 10 is a possible embodiment of the assembly of the piston 16 in the housing parts 1 and 2 shown.
  • the pistons are inserted from below into the housing and the housing bore closed by plugs 15.
  • the plug also forms the guide for the pistons 16.
  • the guide sleeve integrated into the plug 15 can be made of a hard material, preferably of steel, and the housing parts 1, 2 of a lighter material, preferably aluminum , As a result, the total weight of the tool compared to previous designs can be significantly reduced.
  • An alternative embodiment is in the Figures 12 and 13 shown.
  • the guides for the piston in a component 33, which is preferably made of steel summarized.
  • the piston 34 are pre-assembled.
  • This assembly 35 can be used in a preferably made of aluminum housing part 32, which can absorb the forces that arise during the compression of the fittings.
  • a further embodiment for the lock is shown.
  • the force-absorbing components a movable hook 38 and a fixed hook 37, arranged in the front region of the tool.
  • the hook 37 is connected by the shaft 39 with the release lever 36.
  • the shaft 39 is rotatably supported.
  • the release lever 36 is biased by a spring, not shown, so that the movable hook 38 automatically engages in the fixed hook 37 when closing the tool.
  • the unlocking is done by pressing the release lever 36th
  • Fig. 15 For example, an embodiment for an insert 6 is shown in which the force-receiving surfaces 31 are formed by recesses 40 so that the resultant force is introduced through the centroid.
  • Fig. 16 an embodiment of the housing parts 1 and 2 is shown, in which channels 41 for the distribution of the hydraulic oil are drilled so that no hole must be introduced from the outside into the housing.
  • the advantage is that no plugs 42 are needed to close the holes, which can pose a potential hazard to the operator if such plugs 42 would become loose in use of the tool.
