Abstract
A cut-off mechanism for forming metal parts from elongate stock and the like includes a first jaw having a first cutting surface that extends from a sharpened cutting edge. A second jaw has a second cutting surface that extends from a sharpened cutting edge. A connector pivotally interconnects the first and second jaws in a side-by-side relationship at a location spaced apart from the first and second cutting surfaces. The connector positions the leading edges of the first and second cutting surfaces in close planar alignment to shear cut stock positioned therebetween. The cutting edge of the first cutting surface has a hook-shaped side elevational configuration extending arcuately between an outer tip portion thereof and an inner base portion thereof. When the first and second jaws are pivotally converged, stock positioned between the first and second cutting surfaces adjacent the outer tip portion of the cutting edge of the first cutting surface is incrementally shear cut through its entire thickness to cleanly sever the same to length with minimal jolt.
Description
- The present application is a divisional of U.S. patent application No. 09/802,210, filed on Mar. 8, 2001, entitled CUT-OFF MECHANISM FOR ELONGATE STOCK, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/831,507, filed on Mar. 31, 1997, entitled CUT-OFF MECHANISM FOR ELONGATE STOCK, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to a cut-off mechanism for elongate stock and the like, and in particular to a shear-type cutter with a hook-shaped side elevational configuration.
- Various machines are used to form wire parts, including machines that form coil springs or other parts formed from elongate metal stock. An example is heavy duty coil springs for vehicle suspensions and the like, which are made from larger diameter wire or rod for certain applications, with the wire diameter often exceeding one quarter of an inch, and can be as great as five eights an inch in diameter. After forming, the spring is typically cut off from the stock being fed into the forming machine by a cutter die that uses converging cutting edges to “nip” cut the wire or rod. Nip cutters utilize opposing “V” shaped cutting surfaces that are aligned along the edge of the “V” shape. During cut off, the edges are brought together, thereby deforming the stock and severing the spring. A large force is required to nip cut larger diameter stock, and the sudden release of this force when the cutting edges sever the stock causes a severe “jump” or “jolt” at the moment of separation. This sudden jarring motion caused by the large forces involved creates vibrations and/or movements which are not only uncomfortable for nearby workers, but also may damage machine parts, leading to short tool life. This jarring action or shock load will also jar the machinery out of alignment, requiring costly downtime, and/or cause excessive wear.
- By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 1,835,589 to Bond discloses a linearly actuated cutter for use with a device for forming coil springs. U.S. Pat. No. 2,809,678 to Silko discloses a pivotally mounted clipper having a straight shearing edge for cutting off the end of a spring after it is formed in a spring coiling machine. U.S. Pat. No. 4,873,854 to Russell et al. discloses a cutting tool having a straight cutting edge that is pivotally mounted for cutting off a coil spring after the forming operation.
- Although these cut-off devices will sever a formed coil spring, the large cutting forces generated, particularly with larger diameter stock, create excessive noise, and an undesirable jarring motion or “jolt” when shearing the elongate stock.
- One aspect of the present invention is to provide a cut-off mechanism for forming metal parts from elongate stock and the like. The cut-off mechanism includes a first jaw having a first cutting surface extending from a sharpened cutting edge. A second jaw has a second cutting surface extending from a sharpened cutting edge. A connector assembly pivotally interconnects the first and second jaws in a side-by-side relationship at a location spaced apart from the first and second cutting surfaces. The connector positions the cutting edges of the first and second cutting surfaces in close planar alignment to shear cut stock that is positioned therebetween. The cutting edge of the first cutting surface has a hook-shaped side elevational configuration extending arcuately between an outer tip portion thereof and an inner base portion thereof. When the first and second jaws are pivotally converged, stock positioned between the first and second cutting surfaces adjacent the outer tip portion of the cutting edge of the first cutting surface is incrementally shear cut through its entire thickness to cleanly sever the same to length with minimal vibration or jolt.
- Another aspect of the present invention is to provide in a metal forming machine of the type for fabricating elongate stock, an improved cut-off mechanism therefor. The cut-off mechanism includes a first jaw having a first cutting surface extending from a first sharpened cutting edge. The first cutting edge has a hook-shaped side elevational configuration extending arcuately between an outer tip portion and an inner base portion thereof. The cut-off mechanism further includes a second jaw having a second cutting surface extending from a sharpened cutting edge. The second jaw is pivotally connected with the first jaw in a side-by-side relationship at a location spaced apart from the first and second cutting surfaces. The cutting edges of the first and second cutting surface are in close planar alignment to shear cut stock positioned therebetween. A motor is operably connected with at least one of the first and second jaws and mutually rotates the same such that when the first and second jaws are converged, stock positioned between the first and second cutting surfaces adjacent the outer tip portion of the first cutting edge is incrementally shear cut through its entire thickness to cleanly sever the same to length with minimal jolt.
- Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a cut-off mechanism for forming metal parts from elongate stock and the like. The mechanism includes a first jaw having a first cutting surface extending from a sharpened cutting edge. A second jaw has a second cutting surface extending from a sharpened cutting edge. A connector assembly translationally pivotally interconnects the first and second jaws in a side-by-side relationship at a location spaced apart from the first and second cutting surfaces. The connector assembly positions the cutting edges of the first and second cutting surfaces in close planar alignment to shear cut stock positioned therebetween. The cutting edge of the first cutting surface has a hook-shaped side elevational configuration extending arcuately between an outer tip portion thereof and an inner base portion thereof. When the first and second jaws are converged, stock positioned between the first and second cutting surfaces adjacent the outer tip portion of the first cutting edge is incrementally shear cut through its entire thickness to cleanly sever the same to length with minimal jolt.
- The principal objects of the present invention are to provide a cut-off mechanism for wire coiling machines and other similar fabrication machinery. The cut-off mechanism includes first and second jaws which are pivotally interconnected. The first jaw has a cutting edge with a hook-shaped side elevational configuration that facilitates shear cutting of large diameter stock.

Although thefirst jaw 2 is illustrated as being rotationally interconnected to thesecond jaw 6 bypin 10,U-shaped block 43, and guideblock 39, the unique hook-shaped cutting edge could be used with linear or other translational interconnections for various applications if desired. - With reference to FIG. 1, the cut-off
mechanism 1 of the present invention is used in conjunction with an arborlesswire forming machine 20 having a pair ofthick side plates bed 23. An arborless wire forming mechanism (not shown) is positioned exterior toside plate 21 adjacent the rectangular window 24. A series of wire feed rolls 25 are positioned upstream of the wire forming mechanism, and serve to feed the wire or rod for formation into a spring. The wire or otherelongate stock 11 is fed from a large coil or roll 26 through the feed rolls 25, after which it is formed into a helix spring. Thesecond actuator 31 then longitudinally shifts thefirst jaw 2 of the cut-offmechanism 1 in the direction indicated byarrow 16 outwardly from the interior of thewire forming machine 20 through the rectangular window 24 in theside plate 21. Thefirst actuator 14 then rotates thefirst jaw 2 about thepin 10, thereby cleanly severing the helix spring from thestock 11 entering thewire forming machine 20. Once the wire has been severed, the spring part drops into a collection bin, thefirst jaw 2 retracts back into the interior of thewire forming machine 20 to provide clearance for the wire forming operation, and the cycle is repeated. The translational distance offirst jaw 2 may be adjusted larger or smaller as required for clearance and proper cutting surface alignment as required for larger or smaller springs and stock diameter. In addition, thesecond jaw 6 may be adjusted to extend further outwardly as required for a particular application. Thesecond jaw 6 is then fixed in the desired position by a clamp (not shown). Once thesecond jaw 6 is in a fixed position for a particular application, it does not translate during the cut-off operation. - With reference to FIG. 3, the sharpened
leading edge 4 includes anouter tip portion 12, and aninner base portion 13 with anarcuate portion 17 disposed between the outer and inner portions of theleading edge 4, thereby forming a hook-shaped side elevational configuration. Preferably, thearcuate portion 17 has a radius that it approximately equal to that of the stock being cut. However, the cut-off mechanism can be used with stock that has a radius that is smaller than thearcuate portion 17. Although most applications require a radius in the range of 0.125 to 0.375 inches, a larger or smaller radius may be used as required for very large or very small diameter stock, respectively. In addition, several hardened inserts may be fabricated, with each insert having anarcuate portion 17 with a different size radius. An insert may then be selected and installed in theupper jaw 2 as required for larger or smaller diameter stock. The unique hook-shapedleading edge 4 is particularly advantageous for cutting larger diameter stock, and allows a relatively continuous shearing cutting action through the entire thickness of the stock, with minimal “jolt” or “jarring” motion when the wire is sheared. - The
outer tip portion 12 and theinner base portion 13 of the first leading or cuttingedge 4 form a mutually included angle shown as θ which is preferably about 90 degrees, but could vary in the range of about 90 degrees to 160 degrees. Thefirst jaw 2 includes anelongated body portion 18 which is made from low carbon steel. Aninsert 19 is attached to thebody portion 18 byscrews 40 and is preferably made of a high carbon hardened tool steel. Theleading edge 4, laterally inclined first cuttingsurface 3, and trailingedge 5 are formed on theinsert 19. Theinsert 19 has a width of about 2 inches, a height of about 2 inches, and a thickness of about 1 inch in a preferred embodiment. Although the preferred embodiment utilizes a hardened steel insert material, other suitable materials, such as a ceramic, could also be utilized if desired for a particular application. Thebody portion 18 includes afirst aperture 27 which receives a connector such aspin 30 for pivotal connection to thefirst actuator 14. Thebody portion 18 also includes asecond aperture 28 which receives apin 10 to operably connect thefirst jaw 2 to asecond actuator 31 by means ofU-shaped block 43. Thesecond actuator 31 longitudinally shifts theU-shaped block 43 andfirst jaw 2 in the direction indicated by the arrow shown in FIG. 2b during operation of the cut-offmechanism 1.U-shaped block 43 is slidably retained byguide block 39 for translational movement. In addition,first jaw 2 is pivotable aboutpin 10, thereby providing a pivotable interconnection withsecond jaw 6. - As illustrated in FIG. 4, the
second jaw 6 comprises anelongated body portion 33 which is made from low carbon steel, and includes ahardened insert 34 which forms the laterally inclined second cuttingsurface 7, the sharpened second leadingedge 8, and the trailingedge 9. - In a preferred embodiment, the sharpened
leading edge 8 is substantially straight for ease of fabrication. Both of the hardened steel inserts 19 and 34 may include a keyed connection indicated at 35 along both the horizontal connectingedge 36, and the vertical connectingedge 37. - With reference to FIGS. 2a & 2 b, the
second jaw 6 is slidably received in arectangular aperture 38 in guide block 39 (shown in phantom), thereby allowing thesecond jaw 6 to translate inwardly or outwardly as required for a particular application. After thesecond jaw 6 is properly located, a clamp (not shown) fixes thesecond jaw 6 in theguide block 39 to prevent movement during the cut-off operation. - The first and second cutting surfaces3, 7 are laterally inclined at an angle of about 30 degrees, shown as angles φ and α in FIGS. 5 & 6. However, these angles could have a range of 0 to 45 degrees. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the
inner base portion 13 of cuttingedge 4 has an angle γ of about 30 degrees relative to a line “L” extending through the center ofaperture 27 and thearcuate portion 17 of thecutting edge 4. The increased angle of engagement between the first andsecond cutting edges stock 11 into thearcuate portion 17 of thecutting edge 4 when the first andsecond cutting edges - With reference to FIGS. 5 & 6, when the first and
second jaw stock 11 is cleanly severed with a minimal “jarring” or “jolt.” Thejaws surfaces cutting edges lower jaws pins U-shaped block 43, and guideblock 39, maintain the jaws in close planar alignment throughout the cut-off operation. - During operation of the cut-off
mechanism 1, thesecond actuator 31 shifts thefirst jaw 2 longitudinally outward in the direction indicated by thearrow 16. Thefirst actuator 14 then rotates thefirst jaw 2 in the direction indicated by thearrow 15 in FIG. 2a, thereby bringing the sharpenedleading edge 4 into contact with thestock 11. The inner base portion of theleading edge 4 ensures that thestock 11 is positioned in thearcuate portion 17 of the sharpenedleading edge 4 during the cut-off operation. As thefirst actuator 14 continues to rotate thefirst jaw 2, the jaws are brought into the fully converged position (FIG. 6) thereby incrementally shear cutting thestock 11 through its entire thickness to cleanly sever the same to length with minimal jolt. - The cut-off mechanism of the present invention allows cut-off of relatively large stock with reduced jolt or jarring motion caused when larger diameter stock is shear cut.
- In the foregoing description, it will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the invention without departing from the concepts disclosed herein. Such modifications are to be considered as included in the following claims, unless these claims by their language expressly state otherwise.
