Definitions

  • the invention relates to the nose of a crimp element, in particular an apparatus with a traction screw.
  • crimping elements are common in industry, and particularly in the fields of automotive, aeronautical or naval construction.
  • a wide variety of crimp elements such as crimp nuts is used.
  • the crimping of elements is generally carried out by means of portable laying tools using oleopneumatic, electrical or other power.
  • This type of laying tool is provided with a pull rod intended to be screwed inside or around the element to be crimped.
  • the tool is also provided with a rotation drive system, and a traction system for performing the screwing and crimping of the crimping element.
  • the barrel of the nut is first inserted through a hole in the plate.
  • the pulling rod of the tool advantageously comprising an external thread, is then screwed into the barrel of the nut.
  • a traction system integrated into the tool allows the crimping of the crimping element. This step involves pulling the barrel of the nut towards the plate so as to form a bead against the plate to crimp the nut.
  • the pull rod is then unscrewed, and the assembly including the nut and the plate is ready to be assembled to an external element.
  • the pull rod is easily interchangeable to fit the tapping or threading of the crimp element, as well as its diameter and length.
  • the installation tools are provided with a chuck that can be unlocked by means of a wrench in order to change the pull rod.
  • a wrench in order to change the pull rod.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a tool comprising a laying nose provided with a pull rod that can easily be changed without specific tools.
  • the chamber is configured to house the trailing end of the pull rod and the front end of the drive shaft.
  • the front end of the drive shaft has a groove having a front zone having at least one lateral dimension smaller than a zone rear of the groove, while the pulling rod has a projecting portion having a shape complementary to the rear zone of the groove, and a flat shape complementary to the front zone of the groove.
  • the protruding portion can be disengaged from the pull rod.
  • the projecting portion may advantageously comprise a hole inside which the rear end of the pull rod can be inserted.
  • the laying tool may comprise a cohesive member configured to prevent relative movement of the pull rod relative to the drive shaft.
  • the tool can also be provided with a traction drive mechanism.
  • the delivery nose may comprise a carcass inside which the chamber is located, an anvil positioned at a front end of the nose, and adjustment means placed between the carcass and the anvil and configured to lock the relative position of the anvil relative to the carcass.
  • the adjustment means may for example be a clamping nut.
  • the crimping tool is provided with a body 1 to which is fixed a laying nose 2 may be formed by one or more parts.
  • the laying nose 2 defines an open chamber 3 which opens at both ends to allow the passage of a pull rod 4.
  • the nose 2 has a front end which is the end lying on the side of the work, and a rear end on the opposite side to the work area. Each of these two ends has an orifice connected to the chamber 3 to allow the passage of the pull rod 4 during its assembly or disassembly.
  • the pull rod 4 is configured to be mechanically coupled with the crimp member. In this way, the movements and forces made by the pull rod 4 are transferred to the crimp element.
  • the pull rod 4 is configured to be screwed into or around the crimping element and then unscrewed when crimping is performed.
  • the pull rod 4 may comprise at its front end 4a is a thread or a tapping, or both to allow the crimping of two types of crimping elements having different properties.
  • the pull rod 4 also has a rear end 4b mechanically connected to a drive shaft 5. In this way, the movements and forces produced by the drive shaft 5 are transferred to the pull rod 4.
  • the traction rod 4 and the drive shaft 5 are mounted coaxially so as to have the same axis of rotation which results in an autorotation movement for these two elements.
  • the slide connection can be realized by means of recess mounting, dovetail or any other suitable means.
  • the slide connection is placed inside the chamber that blocks this connection. In this way, the separation of the pull rod 4 with the drive shaft 5 can be done only if the nose 2 is removed.
  • the front end 5a of the drive shaft 5 is provided with a groove 5b cooperating with a projecting portion 4c of the rear end 4b of the pull rod 4.
  • the form of the groove 5b is devoid of axis of symmetry along the autorotation axis of the drive shaft 5 to ensure a transfer of forces and rotational movements.
  • the shapes of the protruding portion 4c and the groove 5b are advantageously devoid of symmetry of revolution, so as to prevent any inadvertent rotation movement of the pull rod 4 not generated by the drive mechanism during crimping.
  • the groove 5b is preferably centered on the axis of attachment of the crimp member, to fix it perfectly on its axis.
  • the projecting portion 4c fits without play in the groove 5b in order to make the assembly more reliable.
  • the groove 5b has end stops 5c.
  • the end stops 5c maintain the projecting portion 4c inside the groove 5b.
  • a stop is necessary to provide the tensile force on a portion of the crimp member.
  • another end stop 5d is present to define the opposite face of the groove in the drive shaft 5 and thus limit the translational movement of the pull rod.
  • the groove 5b and the projecting portion 4c are configured to fit without play.
  • the output of the projecting portion 4c and the groove 5b may comprise two zones having different dimensions.
  • a first zone at the front may for example have at least one reduced lateral dimension with respect to a second zone located at the rear of the groove 5b along the axis of rotation of the shaft. This prevents the projecting portion 4c from coming out of the groove 5b.
  • the difference in size is measured perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft 5.
  • An advantageous embodiment may consist in providing a pull rod 4 comprising two removable elements.
  • a first element is formed by the projecting portion 4c.
  • a second element is formed by the rod that is coupled to the element to be crimped.
  • the removable projecting portion 4c can be placed in the rear zone of the groove 5b, and the pull rod 4 comprises a flat 4d whose shape is complementary to the front zone of the groove 5b.
  • the projecting portion 4c When the projecting portion 4c is removable, it advantageously comprises a blind hole or opening into which the pull rod 4 can be inserted.
  • the two parts can be secured by any suitable means, for example by screwing the rear end 4b of the pull rod 4 into the hole of the projecting portion 4c.
  • the assembly is then inserted from the top of the groove 5b.
  • the hole can advantageously be filled by a cohesive element such as glue or a Teflon seal. This also helps dampen vibrations and increase axial compliance.
  • the rod 4a can be screwed onto the protruding portion 4c without risk of separation in case of rotation because the two elements have a flat or any other structure that prevents a rotation movement different from that printed by the drive shaft.
  • the pull rod 4 may be fully integral.
  • a cohesive element can also be used to directly connect the traction rod 4 with the drive shaft 5.
  • the drive shaft 5 is actuated by a traction drive mechanism and a rotational drive mechanism positioned within the body 1 of the setting tool.
  • the rotational drive mechanism serves to secure the pull rod 4 to the crimp member, while the pull drive mechanism pulls the crimp member to form a bead.
  • the laying tool may comprise a single device acting both as a rotary drive mechanism and a traction drive mechanism.
  • This device will be called a drive mechanism later that it is configured to provide rotation or rotation and traction.
  • the drive mechanism is powered by a power supply system housed in the body 1 and can for example be a pneumatic system comprising an inlet 6 and an outlet 7.
  • the drive mechanism is controlled by means of a control device configured to actuate the pneumatic system in response to user pressure on a trigger 8.
  • the user can for example press the trigger 8 halfway to achieve the screwing of the drive. pull rod 4 on the crimp element.
  • the drive mechanism then transmits a rotational movement to the drive shaft 5, the latter then driving the pull rod 4 to rotate at the same speed.
  • the user can then fully press the trigger 8 to crimp the crimp element.
  • the drive mechanism then translates the drive shaft 5, which has the effect of translating the pull rod 4 and perform the crimping.
  • a simple pressure of the user on the trigger 8 allows in a first time to screw the pull rod 4 on the element to be crimped, then to achieve the crimping.
  • the laying nose 2 comprises a carcass 9, the inner portion of which at least partially defines the chamber 3.
  • the laying nose 2 is fixed to the body 1 and can be detached from the body without the need to touch the pull rod 4.
  • the nose 2 is decoupled from the movements of the drive shaft 5.
  • the pull rod 4 moves freely inside the laying nose 2.
  • the carcass 9 has a rear portion 9a fitted inside the body 1, and a collar 9b intended to be placed in abutment against the front face of the body 1.
  • the carcass 9 can be inserted into the body 1 by sliding, screwing or other means, and be fixed to the body 1 by means of a mechanical holding device 10.
  • the latter comprises a through hole 10a located on the part before the body 1, a blind hole 10b located in the rear portion 9a of the carcass 9 located opposite the through hole 10a, and a holding member 10c inserted into the through hole 10a and abutted at the bottom of the blind hole 10b.
  • the holding member 10c is removable and may for example be a screw or a ball screw. The choice of a ball screw is particularly advisable because this type of element can greatly reduce friction and thus limit the wear of the through holes 10a and blind 10b.
  • the nose 2 is also provided with an anvil 11 attached to a front portion 9c of the carcass.
  • the anvil 11 has a rear portion 11a having a section of width identical to a hole 9d of the front portion 9c of the carcass.
  • the rear portion 11a is advantageously threaded and the hole 9d tapped, to allow the screwing of the anvil 11 in the carcass 9. In this way, the anvil 11 is mounted to move on the carcass 9, which limits the displacement of the element to be crimped and therefore the deformation during crimping.
  • This configuration makes it possible to use a traction rod 4 of given length over a larger range by moving the position of the anvil 11. On the other hand, if the anvil 11 is fixed, it is preferable to have traction rods. 4 having different lengths to hold the dimensions of the parts to be crimped.
  • the anvil 11 also comprises a chamfered front portion 11b to better withstand the force involved during crimping, and an axial opening 11c to allow the passage of the pull rod 4 protruding from the front face of the nose 2.
  • the axial opening 11 ca advantageously a complementary shape to that of the pull rod 4, to prevent inadvertent movement of the pull rod 4 relative to the axis of attachment of the crimping element. Therefore, a specific anvil 11 for each pull rod diameter 4 can be provided if the pull rod performs the tapping coupling. But it is also possible to provide a mandrel-like anvil 11 that can be tightened by means of a suitable key.
  • the laying nose 2 is finally provided with a setting means 12 (cf. figures 1b and 2 positioned between the carcass 9 and the anvil 11.
  • This may for example be a clamping nut, intended to block the position of the rear portion 11a of the anvil 11 in the hole 9d of the carcass 9
  • the adjusting means 12 could be a set of shims of varying thickness.
  • the carcass 9 and the anvil 11 may be monoblock.
  • this embodiment offers fewer adjustment possibilities in the dimensions of the pull rod 4 and / or crimping elements.
  • the structure of the laying tool has the advantage of allowing a change of the pull rod 4 without the need for special tools.
  • the laying nose 2 can easily be removed by first unscrewing the anvil 11 of the hole 9d of the carcass 9.
  • the holding member 10c can then be removed from the holes crossing 10a and blind 10b. This makes it possible to remove the carcass 9 from the body 1 of the tool in order to have access to the pull rod 4.
  • the pull rod 4 has a removable projecting portion 4c it is possible to unscrew the pull rod 4 of the projecting portion 4c, and to position another pull rod 4 on the same projecting portion 4c.
  • the projecting portion 4c is integral with the pull rod 4, it is the assembly consisting of the pull rod 4 and the projecting portion 4c which must be interchanged.
  • the nose can be reassembled. For this, it is necessary to start by putting the carcass 9 back on the body 1 and to secure them by means of the mechanical holding device 10.
  • the adjusting means 12 is then positioned against the front face of the carcass 9, then an anvil 11 adapted to the new pull rod 4 is screwed on the carcass 9. It is then possible to crimp an element having characteristics different from the initial crimp element.
