Thisl invention relates to improvements in power hammers and, more fparticularly.'` to -an improvement in the frame construction thereof.
In drop hammer construction, in order to avoid intemalfstrains, the frame was originally made quite flexible.` However, productionI demands for forgings requiring very little finishing have neces-4 sitated revision of theframe structurealongimore rigid lines. Even in the `lnore'rigid1 structures in presentday use there is still necessity.for fieX- ibility in the frame structure since otherwise the deterioration would be so rapid as torender the hammerV substantially useless. It is, accordingly the practice to connect the side framesof the hammer to the anvil and to the ram-reciprocating mechanism by a means which will Ainsure ref turn of the various elements toan accurate seating following.eachhammer blow but which will enable the frames'at the moment of impact to give slightly and thus absorb theforces of impact. It has been noted thatthe side frames tend to rock on the anvil about the cute;` lower corners thereof with resultant separation of the upper ends of the frames. -Constant 4repetition of this movement results in considerable wear and ultimate breakage of either the upper ends of theframes, the ram-reciprocating supporting means with which they are engaged or through misalinement of the headand anvil breakage of the rod. l
, An important object of the present invention is the provision of a structureeliminating such breakage and permitting greater flexibility in the frame structure while at the Sametime providing the necessary rigidity for accuracy. l
A further and morespecic object of the inventionis the provision of a side-frameto-head connection such that'separation of thejupper ends of the side frames may take place without placing any breaking strain upon either the side frames or the head construction.
A further and still more specificobject of the invention is the provision in a hammer of side frames so articulated that freedom of movement is provided eliminating to thegreatest possible extent internal strainsv without any substantial wear at the abutting faces of the s ide frames-and head structure. f g
These and other objects Iv attain by the-'construction shown in the accompanying .drawing wherein, for the purpose of illustration, I have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention andwherein:j f Y f Fig. 1 is a fragmentary frontelevation of va l hammer embodying my invention; 1
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary side elevation thereof;
' Fig. Slis a section on line 3-3of Fig.V 1; Vand Fig. 4, is a fragmentary 'elevation illustratingL a modification.
Referring now more :particularly to the draw# ing, the numeral I-I) generally designates ananvil on which is seatedspaced `side frames II upon theupper` ends of Whichthe head IZ,` including the usualoperating cylinder for reciprocating the ram I3, is supported. In accordance with my in vention the engagement between the side frames and anvil may be that ordinarily employed. As at Vpresent showni the -frames "aresuitablyjkeyed to theanvil and are held in position uponthe seating faces of the anvil by `means of spring bolts I4-and I5 which; while permitting the necessarywslight displacement of the side frames at the moment ofimpact, insure return of thelower ends of the side frames to a properly aligned position. The side frames I I instead ofrbeing made in the form of unitary castings as is the usual practice, are formed in upperand lower sections I6 and I'I connected by a-pivotor wrist pin I 8 extending through suitable bearings formed in the sections in a directionfrom Ifront to back of theanvil and in parallelism to the side,frame seating surfaces thereof.. The confrontingjsurfv faces of the sections I6 and I'I are, at the outer s idesof theqpivot, provided with meeting surfaces preferably including replaceablewearpltaes I9 which come intoengagement when theisections are in proper alignment with one another.
Y At the inner sides of the pivotsfthe sections are relieved as at 20 so that the sectionsmay. jack- `knife'outwardly at the pivots but are positively` limited 'asto their approach at this point. s The upper ends of the upper sectionsare arcuately curved as at 2I to enable Athis movement to take place without any strain upon the head I2 which is provided with correspondingly curved seats and' is secured tothe upperends of thesid'e frarnes'through spring bolts 22' loosely mounted in each of the head and' side frames so as to per# mit thelimited relative movement which is'necessary. While the tensioncapplied to the'sections through spring bolts |41,Y I5 and 22 `willserve to restore the sections to proper alignment following a displacement thereof, I prefer to employ spring bolts 23 extending through the sections outwardly of the pivots and constantly tending to maintain Y `the wear plates I9 in engagement with one` another.` l.
