Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical sector of riveting guns, with particular reference to riveting guns having electro-hydraulic or pneumo-hydraulic activation.
  • a system for coupling/decoupling a threaded tie-rod to/from a tie-rod seating in a gun for deforming fixing elements is disclosed in EP 1.336.442 A2 , on which the preamble of claim 1 is based.
  • Document EP 2.093.024 discloses an electro-hydraulic gun for deforming rivets, comprising:
  • the supply means are able to supply electrical energy to the electronic control unit, to the first micromotor and to the second micromotor.
  • Document EP 0.999.906 discloses an electro-hydraulic gun for deforming rivets, comprising:
  • the guns for deforming rivets include, in known ways, a containing structure of the constituting elements which comprises a grip connected to an upper body comprising in turn a rear shell, fixed to the grip, and a front shell coupled by threading to the rear shell.
  • a terminal sleeve is coupled by threading to the free end of the shell, which in the assembled configuration of the gun is freely engaged by the projecting end of the threaded tie-rod.
  • the terminal sleeve is disengaged from the front shell, using a suitable tool, and then the front shell is disengaged from the rear shell, using a suitable tool.
  • tie-rod seating becomes accessible as well as the corresponding old tie rod, enabling removal of the old tie-rod from the tie-rod seating.
  • the new tie-rod is preliminarily positioned in the tie-rod seating and the front shell is coupled to the rear shell, using a suitable tool, and the terminal sleeve is coupled to the front shell, again using a suitable tool.
  • the tie-rod seating is normally compatible with a broad range of tie-rod types, so as to enable a wide-ranging "setting" during the working stage.
  • the coupling/decoupling operation has been simplified by adopting a tie-rod seating known as "open", with a bayonet coupling of the tie-rod.
  • tie-rod is inserted/de-inserted laterally from the tie-rod seating without the aid of special supplementary tools.
  • a drawback of these applications consists in the necessary over-dimensioning of the tie-rod in order to withstand the mechanical stresses, with a consequent increase in the overall weight and the volume of the riveting zone.
  • An aim of the invention is to obviate the above-described drawbacks, by providing a system for coupling/decoupling a threaded tie-rod to/from a tie-rod seating in a gun for deforming fixing elements, able to accelerate the steps of replacing the threaded tie-rod which operates on the same fixing elements.
  • a further aim of the invention is to disclose a novel system for coupling/decoupling a threaded tie-rod to/from a tie-rod seating, able to accelerate the steps of replacing the threaded tie-rod without requiring any use of special supplementary tools, while at the same time limiting the weights and volumes of the riveting zone.
  • a further aim of the invention is to provide a gun for deforming fixing elements that is able to limit the inactive periods, to the advantages of the productivity of the work cycle.
  • the disclosed system for coupling/decoupling a threaded tie-rod to/from a tie-rod seating in a gun for deforming fixing elements comprises one or more of the following characteristics, considered singly or in combination:
  • reference numeral 1 denotes an electro-hydraulic gun for deforming the fixing elements, in the following referred to a riveting gun for the sake of simplicity, provided with a system for coupling/decoupling a threaded tie-rod (2) to/from a tie-rod seating (3).
  • the riveting pistol (1) comprises, in known ways as indicated in the introductory preamble:
  • the riveting gun (1) comprises a containing structure of the constituting elements which comprises a grip (100) connected to an upper body comprising in turn a rear shell (101P), fixed to the grip (100), and a front shell (101A) coupled by a threading to the rear shell (101P).
  • a terminal sleeve (102) is coupled by a threading to the free end of the front shell (101A), which in the assembled configuration of the gun (1) is freely engaged by the front projecting end (2A) of the threaded tie-rod (2).
  • the riveting gun (1) comprises a system for coupling/decoupling the threaded tie-rod (2) with/from the tie-rod seating (3) that is able to significantly accelerate the replacement steps of the threaded tie-rod (2) which operates on the fixing elements, advantageously limiting the inactive periods of the riveting gun (1), to the advantage of the productivity of the work cycle.
  • the tie-rod seating (3) comprises a tubular sleeve (30) provided with a front head (30A) having a truncoconical geometry that enables transit of the front end (2A) of the threaded tie-rod (2), and a lateral slit (4) which extends longitudinally, enabling transit of the front end (2A) and the rear end (2P) of the threaded tie-rod (2), facilitating insertion of the rear end (2P) of the threaded tie-rod (2) internally of the sleeve (30) and the corresponding alignment of the threaded tie-rod (2) with the axis (Y) of the sleeve (30).
  • the front end (2A) of the threaded tie-rod (2) has a cylindrical geometry and the rear end (2P) of the threaded tie-rod (2) has a truncoconical geometry.
  • the front head (30A) and the lateral slit (4) of the sleeve (30) are profiled such as to enable translation (T) and/or inclination (R) of the threaded tie-rod (2) with respect to the axis (Y) of the sleeve (30) during the step of engaging/disengaging of the threaded tie-rod (2) to/from the sleeve (30).
  • the disclosed system for coupling/decoupling a threaded tie-rod (2) to/from the tie-rod seating (3) comprises means for guiding in translation (T) and/or inclination (R) the threaded tie-rod (2) with respect to the axis (Y) of the sleeve (30) during the step of engaging/disengaging the threaded tie-rod (2) to/from the sleeve (30).
  • the guide means comprise:
  • the insert (5) during the step of engaging/disengaging of the rear end (2P) of the threaded insert (2) to/from the sleeve (30), is able to insert internally of the groove (6).
  • the insert (5) is drawn by the shaft (50) of the activating motor with interposing of elastic means (9) which facilitate the coupling of the insert (5) with the groove (6) during the step of engaging/disengaging of the rear end (2P) of the threaded tie-rod (2) to/from the sleeve (30).
  • the elastic means (9) enable stabilising the threaded tie-rod (2) in the alignment configuration with the axis (Y) of the sleeve (30).
  • the groove (6) realised at the rear end (2P) of the threaded tie-rod (2) comprises a first straight portion (61) which extends inclined with respect to the axis (X) of the threaded tie-rod (2), and a second straight portion (62), for connecting the first portion (61), which extends perpendicularly with respect to the axis (X) of the threaded tie-rod (2).
