Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tool for axially pressing fittings which are radially deformed by axially pressing on a press ring in such a way that they bring about a positive and positive connection with the pipe to be connected.
  • Fittings in which a sleeve is radially deformed by the axial pressing of a press ring 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.
  • the fitting is encircled in a U-shape and fixed with inserted blocks.
  • the force is applied by two pistons arranged on the side, which are mounted in the same housing and act together on the movable press jaw.
  • the tool can also be used for one fitting dimension only. Due to the open design, there is also a considerable risk of trapping foreign bodies or parts of the body during operation.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a tool for the axial pressing of fittings which introduces the forces into the fitting to be pressed in such a way that no moments arise which strain the system.
  • the tool should be very compact, very light and so variable that with one tool fittings in one large dimension range, preferably between 12mm and 60mm can be pressed.
  • a pressing tool is proposed which is suitable for pressing cylindrical fittings consisting of a sleeve and a pressing ring.
  • the force generated by hydraulic pistons is transferred to press plates in such a way that they act in a line almost through the centroids of the largest inserts coaxial to the fitting, so that no torque 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 that runs parallel to the tool separation and approximately through the center of gravity of the inserts.
  • the tool can be constructed very narrowly, so that the requirement for a construction size that is as compact as possible can be met.
  • the tool can be very compact.
  • the joint connecting the two tool halves is expediently designed either over the entire height of the tool or at least at the lower and upper end of the tool, so that the two areas of the tool which are subjected to force are connected to one another and thus an exact reception of the fitting is ensured.
  • the two inner sides of the tool halves have a cylindrical recess, which enables a preassembled assembly consisting of a fitting with an inserted pipe to be received and radially enclosed. To do this, the tool is opened, guided over the pipe fitting assembly and then closed again. The tool is locked automatically and can only be opened again after actuation of a trigger mechanism.
  • a display is preferably integrated, with which the path of the pressing plate is made visible on the outside.
  • Handles are integrated into the tool, which are arranged in such a way that the tool can be held symmetrically to the center of gravity of the tool in the open state.
  • the trigger mechanism is arranged so that it can be operated by the holding hand with the fingertips.
  • An adapted fitting dimension is required for each pipe dimension, which has a corresponding diameter and a specific length depending on the diameter of the pipe to be connected. With the tool according to the invention it is possible to close a large number of different fitting dimensions compress.
  • the tool can be equipped with interchangeable inserts that are matched to the size of the fittings. These inserts are designed so that they all have the same outer contour that matches the receiving contour of the press plate and an inner contour that is matched to the respective fitting diameter. The thickness of the inserts is adjusted so that the individual length of the fitting correlates with 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 coupling 5 is attached for connection to a hydraulic pump by means of a hose with a plug coupling. The two upper inserts 6 and 7 are also visible.
  • the tool is visible in the opened (open) state. In this position, the tool can be guided over the assembly 19 and then closed again. How from Fig. 3 can be seen, the assembly 19 consisting of the tube 20, the fitting 21 to be pressed and the press ring 22 is completely enclosed by the tool. It is shown that the press ring 22 rests on the insert 13 in the starting position and the fitting body 21 rests almost on the insert 6. The insert 13 is received by the press plate 14. In this position, the press plate 14 is pressed against the housing part 1 by the return springs 23. The insert 6 is form-fitting from the housing 1 recorded and absorbs the force that occurs during pressing.
  • Fig. 7 the pressed fitting is shown in the tool.
  • the press ring 22 is completely pushed onto the fitting body 21 and has connected the inner tube 20 to the fitting.
  • the press plate 14 has reached the uppermost position and the return springs 23 are under maximum tension. After the hydraulic pressure has been reduced, the return springs bring the pressing plate 14 back into 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 by the button 9 and the tool is unlocked and can then be opened by rotating the housing part 1 about the axis 17.
  • the pin 12 is completely axially displaceably mounted in the housing part 2.
  • the tab 10 is fixed in the housing 1.
  • Figure 4 the tool is shown in the opened state.
  • the housing 1 is rotated about the axis 17 by the closing movement. During this movement, the pin 12 is moved through the tab 10 and tensioned against the spring 11. In the closed position, the pin 12 can move into the tab 10 by the spring force and thus automatically lock the tool.
  • the tool is held by the fitter on the two integrated handles 3 and 4.
  • the handles are connected to the housing parts 1 and 2 by means of tabs 24 and 25.
  • a pull button 9 is arranged so that it can be operated with the fingertips from the holding position.
  • FIG 8 the arrangement of the pistons 16 can be seen. These are arranged so that the resulting force is almost on the center of gravity of the inserts 6 and 13. The forces can thus be dissipated into the housing without creating a moment.
  • the swivel joint in housing part 1 is formed by axis 17 and is arranged outside the center.
  • the two housing parts 1 and 2 can thus be performed in mirror image.
  • the housing part 2 also has an axis 18.
  • the housing part 2 can be pivoted about this. This joint is advantageously blocked so that simple operation is possible.
  • the two housing parts 1 and 2 are connected to one another by two tabs 27 and 29 and via the hydraulic distributor 26. This is in Fig. 6 seen.
  • the upper tab 27 also serves as a guide for the pin 12 of the lock and as a counter bearing for the compression spring 11, which presses the locking pin into the locked position.
  • the hydraulic medium is introduced through the plug-in coupling 5 and then passed on through bores in such a way that it is passed axially to the cylinders via corresponding bores in the housing parts 1 and 2.
  • 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 enclosed interior of the Tool runs, the progress of the pressing can be tracked by means of indicator pins 8, for example on the sides of the tool.
  • the inserts 13 can be connected to the press plates by means of the screws 28.
  • Fig. 11 an insert 6 is shown.
  • the force-absorbing surface 31 is formed such that the size of a recess 30 z. B. as a chamfer, the position of the force application point is controlled.
  • FIGS Figure 10 a possible embodiment of the assembly of the piston 16 in the housing parts 1 and 2 is shown.
  • the pistons are inserted into the housing from below and the housing bore is closed by means of plugs 15.
  • the plugs simultaneously form the guide for the pistons 16.
  • the guide sleeve integrated in the plug 15 can be made of a hard material, preferably steel, and the housing parts 1, 2 can be made of a lighter material, preferably aluminum , This allows the total weight of the tool to be significantly reduced compared to previous designs.
  • FIGS Figures 12 and 13 An alternative embodiment is shown in FIGS Figures 12 and 13 shown.
  • the guides for the pistons are combined in a component 33, which is preferably made of steel.
  • the pistons 34 are preassembled in this component.
  • This assembly 35 can be inserted into a housing part 32, preferably made of aluminum, which can absorb the forces which arise during the pressing of the fittings.
  • a further embodiment for the locking is shown.
  • the force-absorbing components a movable hook 38 and a fixed hook 37
  • the hook 37 is connected by the shaft 39 to the release lever 36.
  • the shaft 39 is rotatably supported.
  • the trigger lever 36 is biased by a spring, not shown, so that the movable hook 38 automatically engages in the fixed hook 37 when the tool is closed.
  • the device is unlocked by pressing the trigger lever 36.
  • Fig. 15 An embodiment for an insert 6 is shown, in which the force-absorbing surfaces 31 are formed by cutouts 40 such that the resulting force is introduced through the center of gravity.
  • FIG. 16 An embodiment of the housing parts 1 and 2 is shown, in which channels 41 for distributing the hydraulic oil are drilled in such a way that no drilling has to be made from the outside into the housing.
  • the advantage is that no plugs 42 are required to close the bores, which can represent a potential danger for the operator if such plugs 42 would come loose when the tool was in use.
