BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially longitudinal front view of a hose fitting crimping device of the present invention before a hose fitting (or a crimping hose) is discharged, and FIG. 2 is a side view taken along the line A--A of FIG. 1 is a caulking device for hose fittings, 2 is a caulking device 1
2 shows a hose fitting or a caulking hose ejector installed on the side of the.

The caulking device 1 has the same construction as the conventional one, and as shown in FIG. 2, a hollow cylindrical casing 4 is installed on a base plate 3 via a supporting member 4a.
Inside the casing 4, a hose fitting composed of a hose fitting nipple 5 and a hose fitting socket 6 is mounted and crimped, and a plurality of (8 in this embodiment) expandable and contractable crimping claws 7 are divided in the circumferential direction. , Is engaged with the tapered surface 7a of the caulking claw 7 and is slid in the axial direction,
And a taper ring member 8 for expanding and contracting.

The end surface of the caulking claw 7 is held by the cap 9, and the taper ring member 8 supplies the working fluid W to the fluid cylinder chamber 10 formed between the outer peripheral surface thereof and the inner wall surface of the casing 4. It is configured to operate by discharging.

The caulking claw 7 and the taper ring member 8
A guide rod 11 is installed in the center of the guide rod 11. The guide groove 11a of the guide rod 11 is slidable with a butting member 13 with which a spiral tube 12 having a spiral groove formed on its outer peripheral surface or a hose (not shown) abuts. It is arranged as possible.

The abutting member 13 is attached to a reciprocating driving means 14 which reciprocates along the discharging direction (arrow X direction) of the hose fitting of the discharging device 2. Reciprocating drive means 1
Reference numeral 4 denotes a slide member 15 to which the abutting member 13 is detachably attached, a guide member 16 such as a ball screw installed in parallel with the guide rod 11 on which the slide member 15 reciprocates, and the guide member 16 is rotated. The slide member 15 is attached to a nut member 18 that is screwed into a ball screw of the guide member 16.

The guide member 16 such as the ball screw can be rotated in the normal direction or the reverse direction by the rotational drive of the drive unit 17, and the rotational drive causes the slide member 15 to reciprocate along the guide member 16 via the nut member 18. As a result, the abutting member 13 also reciprocates along the guide groove 11a of the guide rod 11.

In the above embodiment, the case where the spiral tube 12 is swaged to the hose fitting composed of the hose fitting nipple 5 and the hose fitting socket 6 has been described, but a hose may be used instead of the spiral fitting 12. Is.

Next, a method of discharging the hose fitting (or the crimping hose) using the caulking device 1 and the discharging device 2 for the hose fitting will be described.

First, in the state before the discharging process of the hose fitting shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the guide groove 11a of the guide rod 11 is formed.
A spiral tube 12 having a predetermined length is disposed in the position, and the spiral tube 12 is abutted against the abutting member 13 fixed at a predetermined position for positioning. Insert the hose fitting nipple 5.

From this state, the working fluid W is supplied to one side of the fluid cylinder chamber 10 to move the taper ring member 8 to the position shown in FIG.
To the left, and the tapered surface 7a of the crimping claw 7 is pressed in the central direction, and the spiral tube 12 is moved by the plurality of crimping claws 7.
And the hose fitting consisting of the hose fitting nipple 5 and the hose fitting socket 6 are caulked to be integrally molded.

When the caulking work of the spiral tube 12 and the hose fitting is completed in this manner, the working fluid W is supplied to the other of the fluid cylinder chambers 10 and one working fluid W is also supplied.
Is discharged, the taper ring member 8 is moved to the right in FIG. 1, and the clamped state of the caulking claw 7 is released.

In this way, when the caulking work of the spiral tube 12 and the hose fitting is completed, and when the caulking device 1 discharges the spiral tube 12 and the hose fitting integrally, One piece of the hose fitting and the spiral tube 12 from the caulking device 1 while moving the abutting member 13 with which the end side is in contact in the discharge direction (arrow X direction) of the hose fitting and pushing the rear end side of the spiral tube 12. Are automatically extruded and discharged as shown in FIG.

Specifically, when the caulking work is completed by the caulking claw 7 of the caulking device 1 and the taper ring member 8 is actuated to release the clamped state of the caulking claw 7, the release signal is output. It is output to the driving device 17 such as a pulse motor, and the driving device 17 starts rotational driving, whereby the ball screw of the guide member 16 rotates in the forward rotation direction, and the nut member 18 and the slide member screwed into the ball screw. 15
By moving the abutting member 13 along the guide groove 11a of the guide rod 11 via the, the hose fitting can be discharged from the caulking device 1 by pushing the rear end side of the spiral tube 12.

After completion of extruding the integrated body of the hose fitting and the spiral tube 12 from the caulking device 1, the driving device 17
Receives the push-out completion signal and starts reverse rotation driving, the ball screw of the guide member 16 rotates in the reverse direction, and the nut member 18 and the slide member 15 screwed into the ball screw.
The abutting member 13 is retracted to the original abutting position via the and to stand by.

As described above, the spiral tube 12 or the abutment member 13 of the hose is connected to the reciprocating drive means 14 which reciprocates along the discharge direction of the hose fitting, so that the hose fitting after completion of the crimping is caulked. The device 1 can be automatically discharged without the need for manual labor, and the workability and productivity of the caulking work can be improved.

It is also possible that the guide member 16 and the slide member 15 of the reciprocating driving means 14 are constituted by a rack and a pinion, and the driving device is constituted by a pulse motor or a fluid cylinder.

[0026]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the abutting member is connected to the reciprocating drive means which reciprocates along the discharge direction of the hose fitting, the hose fitting after completion of the crimping is manually operated from the crimping device. There is an effect that workability and productivity can be improved by automatically discharging without going through.
