Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tool for mounting a clamping connection for pipes with a pipe including a pipe clamping unit, wherein the pipe clamping unit has a bearing block and jaws for clamping the pipe to be connected, a guide unit and a sliding unit for receiving the clamping connection for mounting with the pipe end.
  • Clamping connections for the connection of plastic pipes are known from the prior art and are usually used in the heating and plumbing installation.
  • the structure of such clamp connections is different, which is why the assembly tools or their function are correspondingly different.
  • An assembly tool that is used for mounting of similar clamping connections on plastic pipes is in the DE 102008 051 284 discloses, wherein the clamp connection to be connected in advance due to a widening of the pipe to be connected and in turn makes different demands on the assembly tool.
  • GB2440445 also discloses an assembly pliers for a fitting. It is an object of the present invention to propose a tool for connecting a plastic pipe to a clamping connection, in which no widening of the pipe is necessary, with all the steps required for mounting or the complete assembly of the clamping connection with the pipe by means of only one Tool and only one clamping of the clamping connection and the tube can be implemented in the tool.
  • the object is achieved by a tool for mounting a clamping connection for pipes with a pipe according to claim 1.
  • the tool for mounting a clamping connection for pipes with a pipe or pipe end has two units.
  • One is the pipe clamp unit, which includes jaws and a bearing block.
  • the pipe clamping unit serves to clamp or fix the pipe.
  • the second unit is the sliding unit, this serves to receive the clamp connection.
  • the sliding unit includes a base member, a slide member, and guide members.
  • the sliding unit and the pipe clamping unit are arranged on the guide unit by means of fastening means.
  • a known from the prior art and in this field and usual guide unit is used. This is designed as a linear guide and can be operated by a commercial electric or pneumatic drive, which is easy to hold in the hand.
  • the guide unit thus has a fixed part connected to the drive and a sliding part which is linearly displaceable.
  • Such guide units are known from the prior art and are also used for tools of this type.
  • the pipe clamping unit is attached on the fixed part of the guide unit.
  • the sliding unit is arranged by means of the fastening means.
  • the clamping connection is inserted into the sliding unit and the tube is fixed in the pipe clamping unit.
  • the guide unit executes its stroke or moves together to connect the clamp connection with the pipe end.
  • the sliding part of the guide unit moves in the direction of the fixed part of the guide unit.
  • the sliding unit with the clamping connection arranged therein moves in the direction of the pipe end which is fixed in the pipe clamping unit and pushes the fitting body of the clamping connection into the pipe end.
  • the insertion process is terminated when the stop element, which is arranged on the sliding unit on the fastening means of the pipe clamping unit, which here also serves as a stop, is present.
  • the fitting body is no longer inserted into the pipe.
  • the stroke of the guide unit or the sliding part of the guide unit is not yet completed, the sliding part then moves even further in the direction of the fixed part of the guide unit.
  • the stop element which is present at the fastening means of the pipe clamping unit and since the base member is connected via the guide elements fixed to the stop element, they also remain and it moves only the sliding part with the sliding element in the direction of pipe clamping unit or fixed part of the guide unit.
  • the sliding element is then displaced along the guide elements and thereby pushes the sleeve of the clamping connection on the pipe end.
  • the sliding unit has, as already mentioned, a stop element. This is firmly connected to the base element.
  • the guide elements are arranged between the base element and the stop element. The base element, the guide elements and the stop element thus form a rigid unit with each other.
  • the sliding element which is arranged slidably on the guide elements between the base element and the stop element, is fixedly connected to the sliding part of the guide unit via the fastening means.
  • the guide elements are designed as pins, wherein other forms of guides would be conceivable.
  • the base element according to the invention has a U-shaped recess.
  • the clamp connection can be easily inserted from above.
  • the U-shaped recesses in the base member and the sliding element are parallel.
  • the U-shaped recesses paragraphs on which axially position the fitting body and the sleeve and also serve as a stop.
  • the guide receptacles or the bores in the sliding element run slightly obliquely to the guide elements. This is achieved by a more or less than 90 ° inclined to the central axes of the guide elements abutment surface on the sliding element and the base element, whereby the course of the guide elements to stop surface of the sliding element and the base member is no longer rectangular and in turn tilting of the sliding element with the Guide elements result.
  • This ensures a certain amount of inhibition which not only the sliding element mittex by the movement of the sliding part of the guide unit but also the base unit are entrained with guide elements and stop element and this until the stop element is present at the fastening means of the pipe clamping unit, with other stop options would be conceivable.
  • the jaws are mounted by means of obliquely extending to the longitudinal axis of the bearing pin pivotally mounted on the bearing block.
  • the bearing pin ensures that when inserting the fitting body, the clamping reinforced because the jaws are displaced in the axial direction of the bearing pin extending obliquely to the longitudinal axis. It is thus advantageous if the clamping jaws are counteracted by spring elements, which are preferably arranged along the bearing pin, of the insertion force of the fitting body.
  • the sliding unit as well as the pipe clamping unit on fastening means, which allow the attachment of the units to the guide unit.
  • fork receptacles are used, which allow clipping or plugging.
  • other fasteners are conceivable, for example.
  • bolts are to be inserted into the guide unit. This is also dependent on the guide unit used, which is used for the tool.
  • the fastening means on the sliding unit is preferably fixedly connected to the sliding element or even formed as a one-piece element.
  • the method for mounting a clamping connection on a pipe end is implemented by means of a constant running stroke of the guide unit.
  • the fitting body is inserted into the pipe end and then pushed the sleeve onto the pipe end, wherein this process takes place in the same direction and runs continuously in succession.
  • Fig. 1 shows a three-dimensional view of the tool 1, wherein the pipe clamping unit 2 and the sliding unit 3 are not yet attached to the guide unit 4.
  • the guide unit 4 corresponds to a linear guide and is commercially available and is often used for such types of tools.
  • an electric drive 25 which is manually operable is used, whereby of course pnematic or manual drives are also conceivable.
  • the pipe clamping unit 2 and the sliding unit 3 have fastening means 13, which allow attachment to the guide unit 4.
  • fork-shaped fastening means 25 are used, which allow a plugging onto the guide unit 4. It has proven to be advantageous if the fastening means 25 are indexed in such a way that no incorrect attachment is possible.
  • the pipe clamping unit 2 has a bearing block 6 on which the clamping jaws 5 are mounted on the bearing pin 12 for clamping the pipe 26.
  • the pipe clamping unit 2 has two jaws 5.
  • the pipe clamping unit 2 and sliding unit 3 fastened on the guide unit 4 can be seen before the pipe 26 and the clamping connection 20 are inserted in the tool 1.
  • the jaws 5 are shown open.
  • the pipe 26 is already fixed in the pipe clamping unit 2 and the clamping connection 20 is inserted in the sliding unit 3.
  • the bearing bolts 12 extending obliquely to the longitudinal axis (not shown) of the pipe are clearly visible.
  • the jaws 5 are pivotally mounted on the bearing pin 12, they are also arranged axially along the bearing pin 12 slidably. This has the effect of a stronger clamping. This means that when inserting the fitting body 21, the tube 26 is pushed back and by means of the spring force of the spring elements 11 is pressed against it and the clamping of the jaws 5 on the tube 26 is reinforced by the oblique course of the bearing pin 12. This effect is also achieved by the profile 27 on the jaw inside.
  • the profile 27 is formed as a kind of juxtaposition of radially extending barbs, this is in Fig. 1 good to see.
  • a locking element 25 is arranged on the pipe clamping unit 2, which is an unintentional Opening the jaws 5 prevents.
  • This can be achieved by a pen with spring, which engages in the recess provided and opening of the jaws 5 can be made possible only by manual operation of the locking member 24.
  • the pipe clamping unit 2 is arranged by means of the fastening means 13 on the fixed part 18 of the guide unit 4. Now moves the sliding part 19 of the guide unit 4 with the sliding unit 3 arranged thereon against the fixed part 18 of the guide unit 4, according to the in Fig. 4 registered hub 23. As a result, the fitting body 21 is inserted into the tube 26, as in Fig. 4 seen.
  • the clamping connection 20 is held by the sliding unit 3 and positioned axially and radially.
  • the sliding unit 3 also has fastening means 13 for fastening the sliding unit 3 to the sliding part 19 of the guide unit 4, preferably the fastening means 13 are arranged on the sliding element 8, wherein the fastening means are to be formed according to the guide unit 4.
  • the sliding unit 3 has a base element 7, a sliding element 8, guide elements 9 and a stop element 10.
  • the sliding part 19 of the guide unit 4 carries out its stroke 23 in the direction of fixed part 18 of the guide unit 4 and thus pushes the fitting body 21 by the complete sliding unit 3 moves into the pipe end 26.
  • this one hub 23 of the guide unit 4 in two steps so to speak, namely the fitting body 21 to be inserted into the pipe end 26 and the sleeve 22 of the clamping connection 20 on the Pipe end 26 is postponed, is divided, the sliding element 3 is slightly inclined in the starting position relative to the guide elements 9 arranged or is not at right angles to which are preferably formed as pins, with other geometries would be conceivable.
  • the abutment surfaces 23 of the base and sliding element 7, 8 are not perpendicular to the central axes of the guide elements 9 and tilt slightly in the Ausganswolf, which causes an inhibition of the sliding element 8, which is still supported by a spring 29. Only when the stop element 10 is limited in the stroke, the force on the sliding element 8 is increased by the sliding part 19 such that the escapement is overcome and the sliding element 8 is pulled along until the sliding part 19 of the guide unit 4 has reached the end position.
  • the base element 7 and the sliding element 8 have a U-shaped recess 14, 15 for optimum reception of the clamping connection 20.
  • they each have a shoulder 16, 17, which serves on the one hand for the axial positioning of the clamping connection 20 as well as a means for entrainment or axial displacement of the clamping connection 20 and the sleeve 22nd
