Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、作動空気圧力が常圧領域で使用する常圧用とこれより作動圧力領域の高い高圧用の空気動工具の駆動源として、これらの両方の空気動工具等へ圧縮空気を供給するための圧縮機における圧縮空気取出し装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
作動空気圧力が例えば8kg/cm2以下の常圧領域で使用する常圧用と、これより作動圧力領域の高い高圧の圧力領域で使用する高圧用の空気動工具が知られており、これらの工具では工具に圧縮空気を供給するためのホースに取り付けるプラグは誤接続を防止するためにそれぞれ専用の形状のものが使用されている。そして、これらの高圧用と常圧用の何れの工具へも圧縮空気を供給できるようにした圧縮機では、高圧専用の空気取出し口と常圧専用の空気取り出し口がそれぞれ少なくとも1つずつ設置する必要があり、それぞれの圧縮空気取り出し口には高圧用と常圧用の専用のプラグを接続するための専用のカプラと圧力調整器とを装備する必要があり、圧縮機のコストを上げる要因となっている。
【0003】
そこで、高圧工具側の高圧専用のプラグと常圧専用のプラグの両方が接続可能なカプラを設置して、このカプラに常圧用のプラグが接続されている場合に、圧力調整器により調整された供給圧力が常圧工具の作動圧力領域を越えたときに常圧プラグ側への圧縮空気の供給を遮断するようにした圧縮空気取出し装置を出願人は既に提案している。この構成により常圧と高圧の何れの工具を使用するにしても1つの圧縮空気取出し口を設置すればよいので圧縮機のコストを低減させることが可能となる。
【0004】
図10に示すように、既に提案されている圧縮空気取出し装置の構成は、高圧用と常圧用の各専用のプラグが何れも接続可能なソケット部51を備えており、該ソケット部51に常圧用のプラグP1が接続された状態では、圧力調整器からの供給圧力が常圧工具の作動圧力領域を越えて高くなったときに圧力調整器とソケット部51間のエア流路を閉鎖する開閉弁52を備えている。この開閉弁52は、圧力調整器から供給されるエア圧を受けて開閉弁52を閉鎖方向へ作動させる受圧面52aと、この受圧面52aと対向して開閉弁52を開方向へ付勢するバネ53により作動するように構成されており、この開閉弁52が常圧プラグP1の装着によって移動されているの可動弁体54と協働して、開閉弁52の筒状部52bが可動弁体54のOリング55を収容してエア通路を遮断するようにされている。この開閉弁52は常圧工具の作動エア圧領域の上限で閉鎖方向に作動するように前記バネ53のバネ力と圧縮空気の受圧面52aの面積が設定されていて、圧力調整器の調整圧力が前記設定された圧力を越えたときに作動して常圧プラグP1への圧縮空気の供給を遮断し、常圧専用の工具への作動エア圧領域を越えた圧力の圧縮空気が供給されないようにしている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、常圧専用の工具を接続した状態で、工具の使用圧力を設定するために圧力調整器を調整操作して供給エア圧が常圧の作動エア圧を越えてしまった場合、当然開閉弁52が作動して圧縮空気の流通を遮断するが、上記開閉弁52が一旦閉鎖した状態では、開閉弁52の筒状部52bが可動弁体のOリング55に嵌合しているので摺動抵抗が増大し、更に、上記機構の開閉弁52は、弁体の上流側面の受圧面52aと下流側面の受圧面52cの差とバネ力により作動させるように構成しており、開閉弁52が作動して通路を遮断した状態では、両受圧面が開閉弁体で遮断されて、プラグ側に面した下流側の受圧面側52cが殆ど0kg/cm2に低下する場合があり、両受圧面に作用する圧力差が大きくなることから、圧力調整器を再調整して供給エア圧を前記設定圧より少しぐらい下げても開閉弁52がエア通路を開放する方向に作動しない状態が発生する。例えば、開閉弁52を8kg/cm2の供給エア圧で閉鎖方向に作動させるように設定した場合では、一端閉鎖した開閉弁52は5kg/cm2まで圧力調整器の供給圧を下げないと開閉弁52を開放方向へ作動させることができない。このため、常圧の工具を使用する場合に使い勝手が悪いという問題があった。
【0006】
本発明は、上記従来技術での問題点を解決し、常圧プラグを接続したときに圧力調整器での出力エア圧が設定圧を越えた場合に流路を遮断して常圧工具へその作動エア圧を越えた圧縮空気が供給されることを防止するとともに、遮断した後の圧力調整器での供給圧力を作動エア圧以下に再調整することにより速やかに作動エア圧の圧縮空気を供給できるようにすることを課題とする。
【0007】
【課題を達成するための手段】
上記課題を解決するため請求項1の発明は、空気タンクに貯められた高圧の圧縮空気を任意の圧力に調整して供給する圧力調整器と、該圧力調整器により調整された圧縮空気を、高圧専用プラグ及び常圧専用プラグを介して各々の専用工具へ接続するカプラとから構成されており、該カプラの一端には高圧専用プラグと常圧専用プラグを何れも装着可能なソケット部が形成されるとともに、カプラ内には、圧力調整器を経て前記ソケット部の上流側に供給される圧縮空気の流路を開閉する開閉弁と、開閉弁の下流側に摺動可能に設けられて開閉弁を押し開くようにバネ付勢された作動部材とにより構成された減圧弁が設けられ、圧力調整器から供給された圧縮空気のエア圧により作動部材を閉じ方向に付勢する力と作動部材を開閉弁を押し開く方向に付勢するバネ付勢力とのバランスにより前記エア圧が所定圧力を超えたときに前記開閉弁を閉じ作動させて前記エア圧を常圧工具の作動圧力領域のほぼ上限値に近い所定圧力値に減圧してソケット部側に供給し、さらに、作動部材の下流側には、前記圧力調整器から供給された圧縮空気がソケット部に流出するのを防止する第1の遮断弁と、前記開閉弁を押し開き作動可能なロッドと、該ロッドの作動に連動してロッドが開閉弁を押し開き作動しない状態では圧力調整器から供給された圧縮空気がソケット部に流出しないように閉じる第2の遮断弁とを設け、常圧専用のプラグが前記ソケット部に装着されたときは、常圧専用のプラグで前記第1の遮断弁のみを開放位置に作動させて前記減圧弁による減圧エアを常圧専用のプラグに接続する一方、前記ソケット部に高圧専用プラグが装着されたときは、該高圧専用のプラグにより前記ロッドのみを作動させて前記開閉弁を開放位置に作動維持させるとともに、前記第2の遮断弁を開放位置に作動させて圧力調整器からの供給エア圧を高圧専用プラグに導通させるようにしたことを特徴とする
【0008】
また、請求項2に記載の発明は、空気タンクに貯められた高圧の圧縮空気を任意の圧力に調整して供給する圧力調整器と、該圧力調整器により調整された圧縮空気を、高圧専用プラグ及び常圧専用プラグを介して各々の専用工具へ接続するカプラとから構成されており、該カプラの一端には高圧専用プラグと常圧専用プラグを何れも装着可能なソケット部が形成されるとともに、前記カプラ内には、カプラハウジングに形成されたバルブシートの上流側面に密着可能に設けられて圧力調整器を経て前記ソケット部の上流側に供給される圧縮空気の流路を開閉するとともに常時は圧縮空気を遮断するようにバネ付勢された開閉弁を備えるとともに、開閉弁の下流側には、常圧専用プラグの装着時に該常圧専用プラグの先端によって摺動可能な第一筒状体と、高圧専用プラグの装着時に該高圧専用プラグの先端によって摺動可能で開閉弁を押し開く方向にバネ付勢された第二筒状体とを備え、第一筒状体は、第二筒状体を付勢するバネを押圧するように設けられ、常圧専用プラグの接続時には、圧専用プラグ先端で前記第一筒状体を押し込んで前記第二筒状体を付勢するバネを押圧することにより前記開閉弁に対し開放方向に強いバネ付勢力を生じさせ、このバネ付勢力と圧力調整器から供給される圧縮空気が開閉弁に作用するエア圧とのバランスにより前記エア圧が所定圧力を越えたときに前記開閉弁が遮断するようになし、かつ高圧専用プラグの接続時に前記高圧専用プラグ先端で前記第二筒状体を直接に押して前記開閉弁を開放位置に作動させてこれを開放位置に維持させることを特徴とする
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下図面に示す実施例に基づいて本発明の実施の形態を説明する。図1は本発明の圧縮空気取出し装置を実施した空気圧縮機の概要図であり、電動モータ1で駆動される圧縮機2は前段圧縮機2aで大気圧の空気中間圧まで圧縮し、後段圧縮機2bは連通管3を介して前記中間圧を吸入して高圧専用の空気圧駆動工具の作動エア圧に見合った高圧まで圧縮する。高圧空気は空気タンク4に貯留される。空気タンク4には、空気圧工具へ供給する圧縮空気の圧力を調整する圧力調整器5と工具側のプラグを接続するカプラ6からなる圧縮空気取出装置7が少なくとも1つ設置されている。図において8及び9はそれぞれ空気タンク4内の空気圧力値と圧力調整器5による調整圧力値を表示する圧力計である。圧力調整器5は空気タンク4内に貯留されている圧縮空気の圧力を、常圧工具の作動圧力領域から高圧工具の作動圧力領域の範囲まで任意の調整圧力に減圧してカプラ6に供給する。
【0010】
図2に示すようにカプラ6は、前記圧力調整器5と接続されて減圧された圧縮空気が供給されるエア供給口10が一端側に形成され、反対側の端部には工具に接続されたプラグを受け入れて装着するための雌型のソケット部11が形成されている。ソケット部11は常圧専用と高圧専用のそれぞれ形状の異なったプラグが何れも接続できるように形成されている。カプラ6内には、プラグが接続されていない状態で供給側からの圧縮空気の流出を防止するための第1の遮断弁12aと第2の遮断弁12bが形成されており、該第1の遮断弁12aは常圧専用プラグP1をソケット部11へ装着することにより作動される筒状体13の外周面に装着されたOリング14とプラグハウジングに形成されたバルブシート15により構成され、常圧専用プラグP1がソケット部11に接続された状態では筒状体13が作動第1の遮断弁12aが開放されて圧縮空気をエア供給口10側からソケット部11側へ導通させる。第2の遮断弁12bは高圧専用プラグP2の装着によって作動されるロッド16の外周に装着されたOリング17と前記筒状体13により構成されており、高圧専用プラグP2が装着されることによってロッド16が作動されて圧縮空気を高圧専用プラグP2側へ導通させる。
【0011】
更に上記カプラ6のエア供給口10側には、エア供給口10からソケット部側への圧縮空気通路を開閉する開閉弁18が設けられている。この開閉弁18は付勢バネ19とエア供給口10から供給されるエア圧によりプラグハウジングに形成されたバルブシート20の上流側面に密着されて圧縮空気を遮断する。開閉弁18の下流側にはこの開閉弁18を開閉作動させる作動部材21が摺動自在に配置されており、該作動部材21は、開閉弁18を通過した圧縮空気受ける受圧面21aに作用する圧縮空気圧と、この受圧面21aの反対側に配置されたバネ22による作動部材21を押圧するバネ力とのバランスによって作動されて開閉弁18を開閉操作する。上記バネ22の押圧力と受圧面21aの面積は、受圧面21aに作用する圧縮空気の圧力が常圧工具の作動圧の上限の圧力例えば8.5kg/cm2を境として、受圧面21aに作用するエア圧がこれより大きくなったときには開閉弁18を閉鎖する方向に作動し、小さいときには開閉弁18を開く方向に作動するように設定する。
【0012】
即ち、開閉弁18と作動部材21とはバネ22と受圧面21aとで設定された減圧弁として機能するもので、エア供給口10へ圧力調整器5から高圧領域の圧縮空気が供給されていて、図3に示すようにソケット部に常圧専用プラグP1が接続された場合には、常圧専用プラグP1へは前記受圧面21aとバネ22で設定された圧力に減圧された圧縮空気が供給される。常圧工具を前記の設定圧より低い圧力で使用する場合には、圧力調整器5によりエア供給口10に供給するエア圧を設定圧より低く調整する。これにより、作動部材21はバネ22のバネ力によって開閉弁18を開放した状態に作動して、常圧工具には圧力調整器5で調整された圧力の圧縮空気が供給される。前記作動部材21の受圧面21aの反対側面は通路25を介して常時大気に連通されている。従って開閉弁18の解放時と閉鎖時での受圧面の面積に変動が無く、作動部材21の作動方向によってバランスが崩れることは無い。
【0013】
図5に示すように、ソケット部11への高圧専用プラグP2の装着によってプラグの先端と当接して作動されるロッド16の他端16aが、前記開閉弁18の方向に延長されており、高圧専用プラグP2がソケット部11に装着されて前記ロッド16が作動されることにより、ロッド16の先端16aが前記開閉弁18と当接してこれをバルブシート20から離反させて開閉弁18を開放させた状態に維持する。これにより、高圧専用工具の使用時には前記開閉弁18は開放状態を維持させられ、高圧工具には圧力調整器5により調整された圧力の圧縮空気が供給できる。なお、高圧工具の作動圧以下の圧力に調整された場合にも低い圧力の圧縮空気が高圧工具へ供給されるが、これによる危険は無いので問題はない。圧力調整器5を再調整して供給圧を高くすればよい。
【0014】
上記ソケット部11に常圧又は高圧の何れのプラグも接続されていない状態では、エア供給口10に常圧工具の作動圧力領域の圧縮空気が供給されたときには、作動部材21の受圧面21aにエア圧が作用するがバネ22の押圧力の方が大きいので、図2に示されるように、作動部材21は開閉弁18を押圧して開放させ、圧縮空気が第1の遮断弁12aの部分に導通されている。図3に示すように常圧工具に連結されている常圧専用プラグP1をソケット部11に接続すると、筒状体13がプラグによって押圧されて第1の遮断弁12aが開かれて、エア供給口10に供給されている常圧領域の圧縮空気がそのままプラグを介して工具に供給される。
【0015】
この状態から圧力調整器5の調整圧を高圧領域の圧力に調整すると、高圧の圧縮空気が作動部材21の受圧面21aに作用して作動部材21を作動させ、これにより図4に示すように開閉弁18が閉じて高圧の圧縮空気が下流方向のソケット部11側へ流動するのを遮断する。工具側での圧縮空気の消費により下流側のエア圧が低下すると作動部材21の受圧面21aに作用するエア圧も低下するので、図3に示すように作動部材21が作動して開閉弁18を開放させる。開閉弁18の開放により高いエア圧が作動部材21の受圧面21aに作用して作動部材21により開閉弁18が再び閉じられる。このように、常圧工具側には作動部材21と開閉弁18による減圧弁の機能により受圧面21aとバネ22により設定された常圧工具の作動領域の上限圧力に減圧された圧縮空気が供給される。従って常圧工具には上限圧力を越えた高い圧力の圧縮空気が供給されることがない。
【0016】
ソケット部11にプラグが装着されていない状態で、エア供給口10に高圧領域の圧縮空気が供給されている場合には、高圧の圧縮空気が作動部材21の受圧面21aに作用して、作動部材21と開閉弁18による減圧弁の機能により受圧面21aとバネ22により設定された常圧工具の作動圧力領域の上限圧力が第1の遮断弁12aの部分に供給されている。常圧専用プラグP1をソケット部11に接続すると前記上限圧力の圧縮空気が工具側に供給されるが、この上限圧力を越えた圧力の圧縮空気が常圧占用の工具へ供給されることはない。
【0017】
次に、本発明の別の実施の形態を別の実施例に基づいて説明する。図6に示されるように、圧力調整器5の下流側に接続されるカプラ30は、一端側に圧力調整器5からの調整された圧縮空気を接続するエア供給口31と他端部には高圧専用及び常圧専用のそれぞれ形状の異なったプラグが何れも接続可能なソケット部32が形成されている。
ソケット部32のプラグ受け入れ開口内には、常圧専用プラグP1の装着時にプラグ端部によって作動される第一筒状体33と高圧専用プラグP2の装着時に操作される第二筒状体34が同心状に配置されており、第二筒状体34内はエア通路35として構成されている。
【0018】
エア供給口31側には、エア供給口31から前記エア通路35への圧縮空気の流路を開閉する開閉弁36が設けられており、開閉弁36は開閉弁36を閉じ方向へ付勢しているバネ37とエア供給口31から供給される圧縮空気が開閉弁36に作用する押圧力によって、カプラハウジングに配置されたゴム等の弾性材で構成されているバルブシート38のエア供給口31側の面に着座してエア供給口31側からの圧縮空気を遮断する。
【0019】
開閉弁36の下流側面には弁ステム36aが一体に形成されており、該ステム36aの端部が前記第二筒状体34の端面と当接されている。第二筒状体34と第一筒状体33との間には圧縮バネ39が配置されており、ソケット部32に常圧専用プラグP1が装着されていない状態では前記第一筒状体33が作動されていないので圧縮バネ39は伸張しており第二筒状体34には圧縮バネ39による付勢力は作用していない。従ってエア供給口31に圧縮空気が供給されていない状態から高圧の圧縮空気が供給されている状態までの全ての状態で、開閉弁36はバネ37の作用又はバネ37と圧縮空気の作用によってバルブシート38面と密着されてエア供給口31からの圧縮空気を閉鎖している。図7に示されるように、第一筒状体33が常圧専用プラグP1の装着によって作動されることにより圧縮バネ39が圧縮されて第二筒状体34を弾力的にエア供給口31側に付勢させて開閉弁36を開方向に押圧付勢させる。圧縮バネ39のバネ力は、前記第一筒状体33が常圧専用プラグP1の装着により作動された時に開閉弁36の上流側の受圧面36bに作用する供給エア圧が常圧工具の作動上限圧例えば8kg/cm2でバランスが取れるように設定される。これによって、供給エア圧が上記設定圧力を越えたときに図8のように開閉弁36の受圧面36bの作用力が圧縮バネ39力より上回り第二筒状体34を介して圧縮バネ39を押し縮めて閉鎖方向に移動して圧縮空気を遮断する。
【0020】
圧力調整器5の調整圧力が高くなって上記のように開閉弁36が閉鎖した状態から、圧力調整器5を再調整して供給圧力を徐々に降下させていくと、供給圧力が前記設定圧力より降下した時点で、開閉弁36の受圧面36bに作用する閉鎖方向の作用力と圧縮バネ39の押圧力が反転して、圧縮バネ39のバネ力によって開閉弁36が開かれてプラグ側に圧縮空気が供給される。開閉弁36のシールを面シール構造としているので開閉弁36の開放作動時の摺動抵抗がなくまた、
開閉弁36の解放時と閉鎖時での受圧面積に差が無いよう設定できるので開閉弁36の閉じ方向と開方向の作動エア圧の差を小さくできる。
【0021】
図9に示されるように、高圧専用プラグP2をソケット部32に接続した場合には、プラグ先端で第二筒状体34が作動されてこの第二筒状体34の先端と当接されている開閉弁36は開方向へ移動され圧縮空気が流通可能に維持され、エア供給口31に供給された常圧領域から高圧領域までの全ての圧力の圧縮空気が高圧専用プラグP2へ供給される。なお、高圧専用の工具へ常圧領域の圧縮空気が供給されるが危険を伴う状態は生じないので問題はない。
【0022】
【発明の効果】
以上のように請求項1の発明によれば、常圧工具の作動圧力の上限圧力に減圧させる減圧弁を内蔵しているので、常圧専用プラグを接続したときにはこの上限圧力より高い供給圧力は自動的に上限圧力に減圧されて常圧専用プラグへ供給されるので、上限圧力を越えた高圧が工具へ供給されることがない。また、高圧専用プラグ接続時には、プラグの接続によって開閉弁を強制的に開放位置に移動させて維持させるようにしているので、高圧工具使用時には前記減圧弁の機能が働かず圧力調整器で調整された任意の圧力の圧縮空気を高圧工具へ供給できる。また、圧力調整器での調整により常圧領域での任意圧力での常圧工具の使用が可能であり、圧力調整器での調整圧力値が常圧領域を越えた場合でも、供給エアが遮断されることが無く常圧工具の作動圧力領域の上限圧力の圧縮空気が供給され続け、従って作業を停止することがない。
【0023】
また、請求項2の発明によれば、開閉弁のシールを面シール構造としているので開閉弁の開閉作動時の摺動抵抗がなくまた、開閉弁の開放時と閉鎖時での受圧面積に差が無いよう設定できるので開閉弁の閉じ方向と開方向の作動エア圧の差を小さくできる。従って圧力調整器での供給圧力の再調整操作により速やかに常圧領域の供給圧の供給が可能であり常圧工具の作業性を向上させることが可能である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In order to supply compressed air to both of these pneumatic tools, etc., as a drive source for a pneumatic tool for normal pressure used in a normal pressure region and a high pressure pneumatic tool having a higher working pressure region than this. The present invention relates to a compressed air take-out device in the compressor of the present invention.
[0002]
[Prior art]
There are known pneumatic tools for normal pressure used in a normal pressure region where the working air pressure is, for example, 8 kg / cm 2 or less, and high pressure pneumatic tools used in a high pressure region where the working pressure region is higher than these. Then, plugs attached to hoses for supplying compressed air to the tools are each of a dedicated shape in order to prevent erroneous connection. In a compressor that can supply compressed air to both the high-pressure and normal-pressure tools, it is necessary to install at least one high-pressure dedicated air outlet and at least one normal-pressure dedicated air outlet. There is a need to equip each compressed air outlet with a dedicated coupler and pressure regulator for connecting a dedicated plug for high pressure and normal pressure, which increases the cost of the compressor. Yes.
[0003]
Therefore, when a coupler that can connect both the high pressure plug and the normal pressure plug on the high pressure tool side is installed, and the normal pressure plug is connected to this coupler, it is adjusted by the pressure regulator. The applicant has already proposed a compressed air take-out device that cuts off the supply of compressed air to the normal pressure plug when the supply pressure exceeds the operating pressure region of the normal pressure tool. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the cost of the compressor because only one compressed air outlet is required regardless of whether the tool is used at normal pressure or high pressure.
[0004]
As shown in FIG. 10, the configuration of the compressed air take-out device already proposed includes a socket portion 51 to which both high-pressure and normal-pressure plugs can be connected. In a state where the pressure plug P1 is connected, when the supply pressure from the pressure regulator becomes higher than the operating pressure region of the normal pressure tool, the air flow path between the pressure regulator and the socket part 51 is closed and closed. A valve 52 is provided. The on-off valve 52 receives the air pressure supplied from the pressure regulator and operates the on-off valve 52 in the closing direction, and urges the on-off valve 52 in the opening direction so as to face the pressure receiving surface 52a. It is configured to operate by the spring 53, the opening and closing valve 52 cooperates with the movable valve member 54 in what is moved by the mounting of the normal pressure plugs P1, the cylindrical portion 52b of the opening and closing valve 52 is movable The O-ring 55 of the valve body 54 is accommodated to block the air passage. The on-off valve 52 has a spring force of the spring 53 and an area of the pressure receiving surface 52a of the compressed air so that it operates in the closing direction at the upper limit of the operating air pressure region of the normal pressure tool. Is operated when the pressure exceeds the set pressure, and the supply of compressed air to the normal pressure plug P1 is shut off, so that compressed air having a pressure exceeding the operating air pressure region to the normal pressure dedicated tool is not supplied. I have to.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, if the supply air pressure exceeds the normal operating air pressure by adjusting the pressure regulator to set the working pressure of the tool with the normal pressure dedicated tool connected, it is natural that the on-off valve 52 operates to shut off the flow of compressed air. However, when the on-off valve 52 is once closed, the cylindrical portion 52b of the on-off valve 52 is fitted to the O-ring 55 of the movable valve body, so that sliding is possible. Further, the on-off valve 52 of the above mechanism is configured to be operated by the difference between the pressure receiving surface 52a on the upstream side of the valve body and the pressure receiving surface 52c on the downstream side and the spring force. In a state where the passage is blocked by operating, both pressure receiving surfaces are blocked by the on-off valve body, and the downstream pressure receiving surface side 52c facing the plug side may be reduced to almost 0 kg / cm 2. Since the pressure differential acting on the State-off valve 52 is lowered from about slightly above set pressure the supply air pressure and re-adjustment is not operated in the direction to open the air passage occurs. For example, when the on-off valve 52 is set to operate in the closing direction with a supply air pressure of 8 kg / cm 2 , the on-off valve 52 that is closed at one end opens and closes unless the supply pressure of the pressure regulator is lowered to 5 kg / cm 2. The valve 52 cannot be operated in the opening direction. For this reason, when using a normal pressure tool, there was a problem that usability was bad.
[0006]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and when the atmospheric pressure plug is connected, if the output air pressure at the pressure regulator exceeds the set pressure, the flow path is shut off and the normal pressure tool is applied. Compressed air of operating air pressure is quickly supplied by preventing the supply of compressed air exceeding the operating air pressure and re-adjusting the supply pressure of the pressure regulator after the shut-off to below the operating air pressure. The challenge is to make it possible.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on examples shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an air compressor in which a compressed air take-out device of the present invention is implemented. A compressor 2 driven by an electric motor 1 is compressed to an air intermediate pressure of atmospheric pressure by a front-stage compressor 2a, and is subjected to rear-stage compression. The machine 2b sucks the intermediate pressure through the communication pipe 3 and compresses it to a high pressure corresponding to the working air pressure of the high-pressure dedicated pneumatic drive tool. The high pressure air is stored in the air tank 4. The air tank 4 is provided with at least one compressed air take-out device 7 comprising a pressure regulator 5 for adjusting the pressure of compressed air supplied to the pneumatic tool and a coupler 6 for connecting a plug on the tool side. In the figure, 8 and 9 are pressure gauges for displaying the air pressure value in the air tank 4 and the pressure value adjusted by the pressure regulator 5, respectively. The pressure regulator 5 reduces the pressure of the compressed air stored in the air tank 4 to an arbitrary adjustment pressure from the working pressure region of the normal pressure tool to the working pressure region of the high pressure tool and supplies the pressure to the coupler 6. .
[0010]
As shown in FIG. 2, the coupler 6 is connected to the pressure regulator 5 and has an air supply port 10 to which compressed air that has been decompressed is supplied at one end, and is connected to a tool at the opposite end. A female socket 11 is formed for receiving and mounting the plug. The socket portion 11 is formed so that plugs having different shapes for exclusive use for normal pressure and high pressure can be connected. Within the coupler 6, the plug are first shut-off valve 12a and the second shut-off valve 12b is formed to prevent the outflow of the compressed air from the supply side in the state that is not connected, the first The shut-off valve 12a is composed of an O-ring 14 attached to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 13 that is operated by attaching the normal pressure dedicated plug P1 to the socket portion 11, and a valve seat 15 formed in the plug housing. In a state where the pressure plug P1 is connected to the socket part 11, the cylindrical body 13 is operated to open the first shut-off valve 12a, and the compressed air is conducted from the air supply port 10 side to the socket part 11 side. The second shutoff valve 12b is composed of an O-ring 17 attached to the outer periphery of the rod 16 that is actuated by the attachment of the high-pressure dedicated plug P2 and the cylindrical body 13, and the high-pressure exclusive plug P2 is attached to the second cutoff valve 12b. The rod 16 is actuated to conduct the compressed air to the high-pressure dedicated plug P2 side.
[0011]
Further, an open / close valve 18 for opening and closing a compressed air passage from the air supply port 10 to the socket portion side is provided on the air supply port 10 side of the coupler 6. The on-off valve 18 is in close contact with the upstream side surface of the valve seat 20 formed on the plug housing by the air pressure supplied from the biasing spring 19 and the air supply port 10 to block the compressed air. An operating member 21 that opens and closes the on-off valve 18 is slidably disposed on the downstream side of the on-off valve 18, and the operating member 21 acts on a pressure receiving surface 21 a that receives compressed air that has passed through the on-off valve 18. The on-off valve 18 is opened / closed by the balance between the compressed air pressure and the spring force pressing the actuating member 21 by the spring 22 arranged on the opposite side of the pressure receiving surface 21a. The pressure of the spring 22 and the area of the pressure receiving surface 21a are such that the pressure of the compressed air acting on the pressure receiving surface 21a is at the upper limit of the working pressure of the normal pressure tool, for example, 8.5 kg / cm 2 , as a boundary. When the acting air pressure becomes larger than this, it is set so that it operates in a direction to close the on-off valve 18 and when it is low, it operates in a direction to open the on-off valve 18.
[0012]
That is, the on-off valve 18 and the actuating member 21 function as a pressure reducing valve set by the spring 22 and the pressure receiving surface 21 a, and compressed air in the high pressure region is supplied from the pressure regulator 5 to the air supply port 10. When the normal pressure plug P1 is connected to the socket as shown in FIG. 3, the compressed air reduced to the pressure set by the pressure receiving surface 21a and the spring 22 is supplied to the normal pressure plug P1. Is done. When the normal pressure tool is used at a pressure lower than the set pressure, the pressure regulator 5 adjusts the air pressure supplied to the air supply port 10 to be lower than the set pressure. As a result, the operating member 21 operates in a state where the on-off valve 18 is opened by the spring force of the spring 22, and compressed air having a pressure adjusted by the pressure regulator 5 is supplied to the normal pressure tool. The side surface opposite to the pressure receiving surface 21 a of the operating member 21 is always in communication with the atmosphere via the passage 25. Therefore, there is no change in the area of the pressure receiving surface when the on-off valve 18 is opened and closed, and the balance is not lost depending on the operating direction of the operating member 21.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 5, the other end 16 a of the rod 16 that is actuated in contact with the tip of the plug by the attachment of the high-pressure dedicated plug P <b> 2 to the socket portion 11 extends in the direction of the on-off valve 18. When the dedicated plug P2 is attached to the socket portion 11 and the rod 16 is operated, the tip 16a of the rod 16 comes into contact with the on-off valve 18 and is separated from the valve seat 20 to open the on-off valve 18. To maintain the state. As a result, the open / close valve 18 is maintained in an open state when a high-pressure dedicated tool is used, and compressed air having a pressure adjusted by the pressure regulator 5 can be supplied to the high-pressure tool. Even when the pressure is adjusted to a pressure lower than the working pressure of the high-pressure tool, low-pressure compressed air is supplied to the high-pressure tool, but there is no problem because there is no danger due to this. The pressure regulator 5 may be readjusted to increase the supply pressure.
[0014]
In the state where neither the normal pressure nor the high pressure plug is connected to the socket portion 11, when compressed air in the operating pressure region of the normal pressure tool is supplied to the air supply port 10, the pressure receiving surface 21 a of the operating member 21 is applied. Although the air pressure acts but the pressing force of the spring 22 is larger, as shown in FIG. 2, the actuating member 21 presses and opens the on-off valve 18, and the compressed air is part of the first shut-off valve 12a. Is connected to. As shown in FIG. 3, when the normal pressure dedicated plug P1 connected to the normal pressure tool is connected to the socket portion 11, the cylindrical body 13 is pressed by the plug and the first shut-off valve 12a is opened to supply air. The compressed air in the normal pressure region supplied to the port 10 is supplied as it is to the tool through the plug.
[0015]
When the adjustment pressure of the pressure regulator 5 is adjusted to the pressure in the high pressure region from this state, the high-pressure compressed air acts on the pressure receiving surface 21a of the operating member 21 to operate the operating member 21, thereby, as shown in FIG. The on-off valve 18 is closed to block the flow of high pressure compressed air toward the socket portion 11 in the downstream direction. When the air pressure on the downstream side decreases due to the consumption of compressed air on the tool side, the air pressure acting on the pressure receiving surface 21a of the operating member 21 also decreases. Therefore, as shown in FIG. To release. When the on-off valve 18 is opened, a high air pressure acts on the pressure receiving surface 21 a of the operating member 21, and the on-off valve 18 is closed again by the operating member 21. Thus, the compressed air reduced to the upper limit pressure of the operating region of the normal pressure tool set by the pressure receiving surface 21 a and the spring 22 is supplied to the normal pressure tool side by the function of the pressure reducing valve by the operating member 21 and the opening / closing valve 18. Is done. Therefore, high-pressure compressed air exceeding the upper limit pressure is not supplied to the normal pressure tool.
[0016]
When compressed air in a high pressure region is supplied to the air supply port 10 with no plug attached to the socket portion 11, the high pressure compressed air acts on the pressure receiving surface 21 a of the operating member 21 to operate. The upper pressure in the operating pressure region of the normal pressure tool set by the pressure receiving surface 21a and the spring 22 is supplied to the first shutoff valve 12a by the function of the pressure reducing valve by the member 21 and the opening / closing valve 18. When the normal pressure dedicated plug P1 is connected to the socket part 11, the compressed air having the upper limit pressure is supplied to the tool side, but the compressed air having the pressure exceeding the upper limit pressure is not supplied to the tool for normal pressure occupation. .
[0017]
Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described based on another example. As shown in FIG. 6, the coupler 30 connected to the downstream side of the pressure regulator 5 has an air supply port 31 that connects the adjusted compressed air from the pressure regulator 5 to one end side, and the other end portion. A socket portion 32 is formed to which plugs having different shapes for high pressure and normal pressure can be connected.
In the plug receiving opening of the socket portion 32, there are a first cylindrical body 33 that is operated by a plug end when the normal pressure dedicated plug P1 is mounted and a second cylindrical body 34 that is operated when the high pressure dedicated plug P2 is mounted. They are arranged concentrically, and the inside of the second cylindrical body 34 is configured as an air passage 35.
[0018]
On the air supply port 31 side, an open / close valve 36 for opening and closing a flow path of compressed air from the air supply port 31 to the air passage 35 is provided. The open / close valve 36 biases the open / close valve 36 in the closing direction. The air supply port 31 of the valve seat 38 made of an elastic material such as rubber disposed in the coupler housing by the pressing force that the compressed air supplied from the spring 37 and the air supply port 31 acts on the on-off valve 36. It sits on the side surface and blocks the compressed air from the air supply port 31 side.
[0019]
A valve stem 36 a is integrally formed on the downstream side surface of the on-off valve 36, and the end of the stem 36 a is in contact with the end surface of the second cylindrical body 34. A compression spring 39 is disposed between the second cylindrical body 34 and the first cylindrical body 33, and the first cylindrical body 33 is not attached to the socket portion 32 with the normal pressure plug P <b> 1. Is not operated, the compression spring 39 is extended, and the urging force by the compression spring 39 does not act on the second cylindrical body 34. Therefore, in all states from the state in which compressed air is not supplied to the air supply port 31 to the state in which high-pressure compressed air is supplied, the on-off valve 36 is operated by the action of the spring 37 or the action of the spring 37 and the compressed air. The compressed air from the air supply port 31 is closed by being in close contact with the surface of the sheet 38. As shown in FIG. 7, the first cylindrical body 33 is actuated by mounting the normal pressure dedicated plug P <b> 1, whereby the compression spring 39 is compressed and the second cylindrical body 34 is elastically moved to the air supply port 31 side. And the on-off valve 36 is pressed and urged in the opening direction. The spring force of the compression spring 39 is such that the supply air pressure acting on the pressure receiving surface 36b on the upstream side of the on-off valve 36 when the first cylindrical body 33 is operated by mounting the normal pressure dedicated plug P1 is the operation of the normal pressure tool. It is set so as to be balanced at an upper limit pressure, for example, 8 kg / cm 2 . Thus, when the supply air pressure exceeds the set pressure, the acting force of the pressure receiving surface 36b of the on- off valve 36 exceeds the force of the compression spring 39 as shown in FIG. It is compressed and moved in the closing direction to block the compressed air.
[0020]
When the adjustment pressure of the pressure regulator 5 is increased and the on-off valve 36 is closed as described above, when the pressure regulator 5 is readjusted and the supply pressure is gradually lowered, the supply pressure becomes the set pressure. When the pressure drops further, the closing direction acting force acting on the pressure receiving surface 36b of the opening / closing valve 36 and the pressing force of the compression spring 39 are reversed, and the opening / closing valve 36 is opened by the spring force of the compression spring 39 to the plug side. Compressed air is supplied. Since the seal of the on-off valve 36 has a face seal structure, there is no sliding resistance when the on-off valve 36 is opened,
Since it can be set so that there is no difference in the pressure receiving area between the opening and closing of the on-off valve 36, the difference in the operating air pressure between the closing direction and the opening direction of the on-off valve 36 can be reduced.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 9, when the high-pressure plug P2 is connected to the socket portion 32, the second cylindrical body 34 is actuated at the tip of the plug and brought into contact with the tip of the second cylindrical body 34. The on-off valve 36 is moved in the opening direction so that the compressed air can be circulated, and the compressed air of all pressures from the normal pressure region to the high pressure region supplied to the air supply port 31 is supplied to the high pressure dedicated plug P2. . Although compressed air in the normal pressure region is supplied to a tool dedicated to high pressure, there is no problem because a dangerous state does not occur.
[0022]
【Effect of the invention】
According to the present invention as described above, normal because the upper limit pressure of the working pressure of the tool (10) incorporates a pressure reducing valve for pressure reduction, high feed pressures above this limit pressure when connecting the plug for normal pressure only. since the supplied automatically be reduced to limit the pressure to the plug for normal pressure only, never high pressure exceeding the upper limit pressure is supplied to the tool. Further, the high pressure exclusive plug connection time, since so as to maintain forcibly moved to the open position opening and closing valve by the connection of the plug, a pressure regulator does not work functions of the pressure reducing valve in use high pressure tools Compressed air of any adjusted pressure can be supplied to the high pressure tool. Further, it is possible to use normal tool (10) at any pressure at atmospheric pressure region by adjusting the pressure regulator, even when adjusting the pressure value in the pressure regulator exceeds the atmospheric pressure region, the supply air is cut off The compressed air of the upper limit pressure in the working pressure region of the normal pressure tool continues to be supplied, and therefore the operation is not stopped.
[0023]
Further, according to the second aspect of the present invention, since the sealing of the opening and closing valve is set to face seal structure and without sliding resistance when opening and closing operation of the on-off valve, a difference in pressure receiving area at the time of closing and when opening the opening and closing valve Therefore, the difference in operating air pressure between the closing direction and the opening direction of the on-off valve can be reduced. Accordingly , the supply pressure in the normal pressure region can be quickly supplied by the readjustment operation of the supply pressure with the pressure regulator , and the workability of the normal pressure tool can be improved.
