Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention is used to perform a work of driving a key for fixing the upper and lower molds or a saw block of a forging machine and pulling out the key. The present invention relates to a key striking device for a forging machine.

[Prior Art] A forging machine 1 such as an air stamp hammer shown in FIG.
An upper die 3 attached to the lower end of the ram 2 to be raised and lowered and a lower die 5 attached to the saw block 4 are provided, and a metal material is forged between the upper and lower dies 3, 5. The molds 3, 5 and the saw block 4 are fixed by hitting a key 6 on one side thereof. Of course, key 6
Is driven from the front side or the rear side of the forging machine 1, and it may be longer or shorter than the thickness of the molds 3, 5 or the saw block 4 in the front-rear direction. In FIG. 8, 7 is a bolt for connecting the left and right frames 1b to the base 1a of the forging machine 1, and 8 is a hole opened at both front and rear end surfaces of the saw block 4.

Then, when the key 6 for fixing the molds 3, 5 and the saw block 4 is driven in and out, the thrust rod is usually hung horizontally on an appropriate support member on the ceiling side, and the rod is bell-struck. It is performed by operating and hitting the key at its tip through a jig.

However, in the case of such manual work, the workability is poor and skill is required, and it is difficult to hit the key accurately. In addition, when the impact is inadequate, the impact rod is likely to freely move and hit the operator due to the energy of the impact, so the work risk is very high.

Therefore, a key striking device that does not require manual work is conventionally known. This device is used by being fixed to a fork of a forklift truck, and a rod of a piston included in an air cylinder mechanism is projected from the cylinder and a jig is attached to the tip thereof. Therefore, by retracting the piston and rapidly advancing the piston with air pressure, the piston and the jig are used as hammers to strike the key, whereby the key can be driven in and removed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in such a conventional key striking device, it is undeniable that the forklift truck may move to some extent due to the reaction force at the time of striking, and at the same time, the key is driven by striking. When performing the next impact, the forklift truck needs to be advanced to the forging machine side, and each time, the jig core must be aligned with the key core. In this case, since there is no means for restricting the mutual position of the key and the tip of the piston rod, it is difficult to aim the piston rod with respect to the core of the key. Therefore, in the conventional device, there is a problem that the work required for hitting is great and the workability is poor. Moreover,
Since a forklift truck is used, an operator of the key striking device is required together with its driver, which requires a lot of manpower. Moreover, since a forklift truck is used, a space for arranging the truck is required around the forging machine, and there is a problem that the device cannot be applied if such a space cannot be secured.

An object of the present invention is to provide a key striking device for a forging machine, which can strike a key with high workability and with a strong force without requiring a lot of manpower and a lot of space.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, in the key striking device for a forging machine of the present invention, a piston hammer is provided in a cylinder that is arranged with its axes aligned in the longitudinal direction of the forging machine. An air tank is connected to a first port provided at the rear end of the cylinder via a first switching valve that movably accommodates and reciprocates the hammer in the front-rear direction, and a rod holder is attached to the front end of the cylinder. The piston holder is movably supported on the holder so as to project from the front end of the holder and contact the end surface of the key of the forging machine through a jig, and the piston hammer is movably supported on the rod holder. A stopper portion for restricting the retracting position of the striking rod is provided, and the stopper portion is connected to a second port provided at the rod holder behind the stopper portion and having an exhaust port. A valve casing having a vent passage therethrough, an operating cylinder connected to the valve casing and connected to the air tank via the first switching valve, and a ventilation piston reciprocated by an operating piston in the operating cylinder. A rapid exhaust valve having a valve body for opening and closing a passage, and a return port formed in the valve casing in communication with the ventilation passage and connected to the air tank via the first switching valve, Located on the front end side of the cylinder,
A mooring cylinder mechanism having a piston rod protruding toward the rear of the cylinder is connected to the cylinder, and a second switching valve that reciprocates the mechanism and the air tank in the front-rear direction is used. The cord connecting member is connected to the tip end portion of the piston rod, and each of the plurality of mooring cords whose tip portion is connected to the hooking portion of the forging machine at the time of striking the key is connected to the cord connecting member. It is a connection.

[Operation] In this key striking device, the jig mounted on the front end of the striking rod whose retracted position with respect to the rod holder is regulated by the stopper is brought into contact with the end surface of the key of the forging machine, It is placed horizontally in front of or behind. In this arrangement state, the plurality of tethers are stretched and held by hooking the tips of the tethers to the hooks of the forging machine. This tensioning is performed by operating the second switching valve to guide the air in the air tank to the anchoring cylinder mechanism. As a result, the piston rod of the cylinder mechanism moves in the direction away from the forging machine, so that each mooring line is stretched and held. Then, the entire key striking device receives a force on the forging machine side, and the contact state between the jig and the key is maintained.

In the above arrangement state, the air in the air tank is guided into the cylinder through the first port through the first switching valve, and the piston hammer in the cylinder is moved toward the forging machine. Then, the hammer collides with the rear end of the striking rod and imparts a striking force to the key through the rod and the jig at its front end. In this case, since the cylinder and the rod holder relatively position the piston hammer and the striking rod, the piston hammer can collide with the striking rod without aiming differently. Moreover, at the time of this impact, the air in the air tank is also guided to the operating cylinder of the quick exhaust valve, and the valve body moves in the direction away from the rod holder via the operating piston, and the ventilation communicating with the second port is established. Open the road. Therefore, the air on the front side of the piston hammer in the cylinder is quickly exhausted to the atmosphere through the second port and the quick exhaust valve, and the movement of the piston hammer can be minimized by the air on the front side.
Then, since the key striking device is moved to the forging machine side by the force continuously applied to the entire key striking device by the mooring cylinder mechanism, the entire key striking device is moved to the forging machine side by the amount of the movement of the key due to the hitting described above. The contact state between the tool and the key is still maintained. Next, by the switching operation of the first switching valve,
The actuating piston of the quick exhaust valve is moved to the rod holder side to close the air passage of this valve and guide the air in the air tank into the cylinder through the return port and the second port. Thereby, the piston hammer in the cylinder is returned so as to be separated from the striking rod, and then the first switching valve is switched again to strike the key. The key can be driven in or out by repeating the above-mentioned impacts a required number of times.

As shown in FIG. 4, the exhaust valve 51 includes a valve seat body 52, a fixed cylinder body 53 fixed to the valve seat body 52, an operating cylinder 54 fixed to the cylinder body 53, and a cylinder.
An operating piston 55 housed in 54, a valve body 56 penetrating the operating cylinder 54 and having the operating piston 55 attached to one end thereof, and a coil spring 57 for urging the valve body 56. It is formed of a movable cylindrical body 58 fitted and provided on the outer side of the fixed cylindrical body 53.

The valve seat body 52 and the fixed cylinder body 53 form a valve casing, and the air passage 52a of the valve seat body 52 is communicated with the second port 22 of the piston 16 and is also connected by the valve body 56. It is designed to be opened and closed. The coil spring 57 presses the valve body 56 against the valve seat body 52 in order to stabilize the closed state of the valve body 56. The valve seat 52 is formed with a return port 59 communicating with the air passage 52a, and the port 59 communicates with the second valve chamber 38 of the first switching valve 30.

As shown in FIG. 5, the adjustment position is fixed by a screw 60 screwed into the fixed cylinder 53 through the arc-shaped adjustment hole 58b of the movable cylinder 58.
This is done by tightening (see Fig. 4).

An anchoring cylinder mechanism 61 is connected to the outer surface of the cylinder 16. This cylinder mechanism 61 is shown in FIGS.
As shown in the figure, it is formed of a mooring cylinder 62, a piston 63 housed in this cylinder 62, and a piston rod 64 connected to one end of this piston 63. The piston rod 64 projects rearward of the anchoring cylinder 62, in other words, in a direction away from the forging machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 7, the ports 62a and 62b of the connecting cylinder 62 at the front and rear ends thereof are connected to the air tank 31 via the second switching valve 65 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. ing. In the second switching valve 65, when the air in the air tank 31 is guided to the front port 62a, the rear port 62b is opened to the atmosphere, and the air in the air tank 31 is guided to the rear port 62b. At times, a switching valve having a structure that opens the front port 62a to the atmosphere is used. The operation handle 66 of the switching valve 65 is shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a cable connecting member 67 is connected to the tip of the piston rod 64 of the cylinder mechanism 61. The member 67 is formed, for example, by connecting a tubular body 70 to the central portion of a plate 69 through which an elongated window 68 (see FIG. 6) provided in the cover 32 in the front-rear direction is inserted.
The cylindrical body 70 is fitted around the cylinder 16 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction with the cylinder 16 as a guide. One end of each tether 71 is connected to the left and right ends of the plate 69 protruding from the window 68. For example, a chain is used for the mooring line 71. The tips of these tethers 71 are the above forging machine 1.
The bolt 7 is used as a hook portion, or a round bar is inserted into the hole 8 of the forging machine 1 and is used as a hook portion to be connected to the forging machine 1.

Next, the operation of the key striking device 14 having the above configuration will be described.

First, the key striking device 14 is horizontally arranged on the front side or the rear side of the forging machine 1, and the jig 27 is attached to the front end portion of the striking rod 26 thereof, and then the lifter 11 is operated to adjust the center of the jig 27. Adjust the height of the lifter 11 so that it fits the core of the key 6 of the forging machine 1. If the lifter 11 cannot be used, remove the key striking device 14 from the lifter 11
The key striking device 14 may be hung on the chain block of the hoist or the like by using the hanging rings 15a provided at both front and rear ends of the key 14 to adjust the height. After this adjustment, a pair of left and right tethers
The tip portion of 71 is hooked on the hook portion of the forging machine 1, and this is stretched to bring the jig 27 into contact with the end surface of the key 6.

The tensioning of each tether 71 is performed by the operation handle 66 of the second switching valve 65.
By rotating the lever in the forward direction (see FIG. 6) (this state is held until the next operation of the operation handle 66 even if the operation handle 66 is released). This is realized by guiding the air in the air tank 31 to the port 62a of the cylinder 62 of the mechanism 61. That is, the piston rod 64 of the cylinder mechanism 61 is thereby changed to the forging machine 1.
Since it moves backward away from, each mooring line 71 is stretched by the movement of the line connecting member 67 accompanying it. Therefore, the cylinder mechanism 61 presses the entire key striking device 14 toward the forging machine 1 to maintain the contact state between the jig 27 and the key 6. Since the cable connecting member 67 has the tubular body 70 and the lower portion of the tubular body 70 supports the cylinder 16 from below, the entire key striking device 14 contacts the key 6 by the support. It is possible to stabilize the device 14 by preventing it from rotating around the contact.

After setting the key striking device 14 in the forging machine 1 as described above, the operation handle 46 of the first switching valve 30 is moved from the neutral position to the striking (see FIG. 6) position. Then,
The valve body 45 is moved rearward (leftward in FIG. 1) so that the neutral valve chamber 36 communicating with the air tank 31 and the first valve chamber 37 communicate with each other. Therefore, the pressure in the air tank 31 is
While being supplied through the first port 18 into the cylinder 16 via the switching valve 30, the same pressure is passed through the first switching valve 30 into the working cylinder 54 of the quick exhaust valve 54 at that port 54.
Supplied through b. At this time, the air discharged from the port 54a of the working cylinder 54 is the second air of the first switching valve 30.
Through the valve chamber 38, the gas is exhausted from the communication holes 42 and 43 to the outside of the valve casing 39 through the inside of the valve body 45.

Then, the piston hammer 28 in the cylinder 16 is moved forward, that is, toward the forging machine 1 by the pressure introduced to the cylinder 16. At the same time, the working piston 55 of the quick exhaust valve 51, together with the valve body 56, quickly rises upward in FIG. 4 against the force of the coil spring 57, so that the valve body 56 separates from the valve seat body 52, The air passage 52a is opened. Therefore, the space in the cylinder 16 on the front side of the piston hammer 28 is fixed to the outside of the quick exhaust valve 51 through the second port 22 and the air passage 52a through the exhaust ports 53a and 55a communicating with each other. It communicates with the inside of the cylindrical body 53.

Therefore, the air on the front side of the piston hammer 28 in the cylinder 16 through this communication path is quickly exhausted to the outside of the cylinder 16 as the hammer 28 advances, so that the movement of the piston hammer 28 is less likely to be hindered by the front air. . Further, since the air exhausted from the cylinder 16 is released into the atmosphere as described above, there is no piping resistance compared to the case where the exhaust air is guided to the first switching valve 30 or the like through the pipe, Evacuation of air is extremely easy.

As described above, the piston hammer 28, which is not subject to the air brake action, collides with the rear end of the striking rod 26 at a high speed and applies a striking force to the key 6 via the rod 26 and the jig 27 at its tip. Further, the air in the rod holder 21 is exhausted into the atmosphere through the exhaust hole 23 as the striking rod 26 advances.

In the above impact, the cylinder 16 and the rod holder 21
Positions the piston hammer 28 and the striking rod 26 relative to each other, the piston hammer can be aimed at the striking rod 26 that is in contact with the key 6 through the jig 27.
28 can be collided.

Next, when the operation handle 46 of the first switching valve 30 is returned from the forward position to the return position (see FIG. 6), the valve body 45 is moved forward (direction in FIG. 1) to communicate with the air tank 31. The neutral valve chamber 36 and the second valve chamber 38 that are in communication are communicated with each other,
The valve body 45 separates from the communication hole 41 and opens it. Therefore, the pressure in the air tank 31 is supplied through the port 54a into the working cylinder 54 of the quick exhaust valve 51 via the first switching valve 30, and the valve body 56 closes the ventilation path 52a. In addition,
Along with this, the air discharged from the port 54a of the working cylinder 54 is discharged to the outside of the valve casing 39 through the first valve chamber 37 of the first switching valve 30, the communication hole 41, the inside of the valve element 45, and the inside of the valve body 45. It At the same time, the pressure in the air tank 31 changes to the first switching valve.
It is led to the return port 59 of the quick exhaust valve 51 via 30.
At the same time, the space behind the piston hammer 28 in the cylinder 16 is communicated with the atmosphere through the communication hole 41, the first valve chamber 37, and the first port 18, so that the air passage is opened from the port 59. The piston hammer 28 is returned by the air pressure of the air tank 31 introduced into the cylinder 16 through 52a and the second port 22 until it comes into contact with the cushioning material 19.

Then, the operation handle 46 is operated again to perform the next impact. That is, the key 6 is hit by repeating the above-mentioned hits as many times as necessary and hitting the key 6.
Can be removed or driven in.

When removing the key 6, when the key 6 begins to come out, it is preferable to reduce the striking force so that the key 6 does not suddenly pop out. In this case, the striking force may be adjusted by stopping the operating handle 46 of the first switching valve 30 before moving the operating handle 46 without moving the handle 46 to the end. Then, the amount of air flowing into the cylinder 16 per unit time can be reduced. Alternatively, the movable cylinder 58 of the quick exhaust valve 51 is rotated to move the exhaust holes 53a and 58a.
It is possible to reduce the communication area of the piston and to exert the air brake action on the movement of the piston hammer 28.

Then, although the key 6 is moved in accordance with the hitting operation described above, the contact state between the jig 27 and the key 6 is still maintained in spite of this. That is, since the pressure of the air tank 31 is continuously applied to the cylinder 62 of the tethering cylinder mechanism 61 from the port 62a, the piston 63 and the piston rod 64 have the same dimensions as the key 6 is moved by the impact. Is moved to the rear. As a result, the mooring cylinder mechanism 61 continues to apply a force in the direction of the forging machine 1 to the entire key striking device 14, so that the key striking device 14
The whole is moved to the forging machine 1 side. Of course, at this time, the striking rod 26 retracts relatively to the rod holder 21,
This backward movement is stopped by the large diameter portion of the striking rod 26 coming into contact with the stopper portion 21b of the rod holder 21. That is, the contact between the jig 27 and the key 6 is maintained as described above.

Therefore, according to the key striking device 14, it is not necessary to re-align the key 6 with the device each time the striking is performed.
The key 6 can be hit with high workability and with a large force. Since it is not necessary to use a forklift truck, the key 6 can be hit without requiring a lot of manpower, and the work can be performed without hitting the key 6 with a large space around the forging machine 1. it can.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the movable cylinder 58 of the quick exhaust valve 51 may be omitted. Further, the lifter 11 may be omitted.

[Effects of the Invention] In the key striking device of the present invention, since the cylinder, the piston hammer, the rod holder, the striking rod, and the first switching valve and the air tank are provided, the striking rod is constituted by the cylinder and the rod holder. The rod can be positioned relative to the piston hammer that advances the rod in the key direction from the air pressure, and the key can be hit under this restriction.
Moreover, the quick exhaust valve is provided so that the air in the cylinder can be rapidly exhausted to the atmosphere to reduce the air brake action on the piston hammer, so that the key can be hit with a strong force. Furthermore, the mooring cylinder mechanism, the rope connecting member,
By providing the tether line and the second switching valve, the entire striking device can be moved in the forging machine direction following the movement of the key based on the striking, and the contact state with the striking rod can be maintained. Therefore, according to the device of the present invention, since it is not necessary to re-align the key and the device with each hit, it is possible to hit the key with high workability and it is not necessary to use a forklift truck. The key can be struck without requiring human labor, and the key can be struck without requiring a large space around the forging machine.
