Definitions

  • Shoemaker Attorney, Agent, or Firm-Walter Becker 5 7 ABSTRACT A hydraulic overload safety device with a pitman adjustable in length for a press, in which the liquid pressure assuring the press against overload at the same time tightens the screw connection between two threadedly interengaged sections of the pitman and normally keeps them firmly secured to each other during normal operation of the press while this connection is automatically disengaged in response to the pitman encountering an overload.
  • the present invention relates to a pitman adjustable in length for a press or similar machine tool with the hydraulic overload safety mechanism.
  • Presses have to meet the requirement that the smallest distance between the ram and the press table must be adjustable so as to adapt the same to the dimensions of the respective tool and workpiece.
  • presses Inasmuch as pressing tools are relatively expensive, presses have to meet further requirement, namely that they comprise a safety mechanism which will safeguard the tool against damage or destruction in case of an overload.
  • An overload may occur, for instance, with cap or lid punch presses when a ronde or disc is introduced into the tool before the last punched cap or lid has left the range of the too].
  • Such overload safety mechanism also protects the machine frame and driving elements against undesired stresses.
  • the adjustability as to the length of the pitman is customarily realized by making the pitman of two parts which are interconnected by means of an axial screw thread. By turning one part relative to the other part, the effective length of the pitman can be changed.
  • breakers and breaker discs For protection against overload, several solutions are known, such as breakers and breaker discs, flywheel circuits, circuit including springing of the frame, difference in current of the drive motor, electronic sensing of the coasting parts, as well as hydraulic overload mechanisms of various types, according to which the pressing force is conveyed by means ofa piston moving against the liquid pressure or by means of an opening valve.
  • the pitman adjustable as to length and the hydraulic overload safety mechanism according to the present invention are characterized primarily in that the hydraulic overload safety mechanism is arranged in the pitman in such a way that the liquid pressure which brings about the overload protection simultaneously tightens the screw connection which serves for the adjustment as to length of the pitman and effects such tightening during the operation of the press and thereby secures the screw connection in the two-part pitman by a frictional engagement.
  • the pitman is composed of a plurality of parts two of which are axially displaceable relative to each other and move toward each other when the adjustable liquid pressure is exceeded in a pressure chamber which is located in one of the two parts while the liquid pressure and together therewith the force conveyed to the tool is being reduced.
  • the liquid pressure through the intervention of parts located in the pitman housing and movable relative thereto, tightens the screw thread which serves for longitudinally adjusting the pitman, the screw thread establishing in interengagement of the parts of the pitman which are rotatable relative to each other, so that this screw thread will be frictionally secured.
  • the liquid pressure is generated by pump which is adapted to be controlled respect to its pressure. In this way the permissible maximum force can be set in conformity with the requirements of the respective tool and material.
  • the drawing illustrates a vertical section through a pitman with the pertaining control elements.
  • the introduction of power is effected by the eccentric 1 of the crank-shaft through the pitman onto the ram 9.
  • the pitman is composed primarily of two groups of parts which are axially displaceable partially against each other.
  • One group comprises the pitman housing 2 which has a central bore 2a that opens in downward direction and is provided at one end with a screw thread 2b.
  • This group furthermore comprises a sleeve 4 which is slidable in the central bore 20 and is provided with a high pressure seal 3.
  • Sleeve 4 rests on a pressure spindle 5 which is longitudinally adjustably connected through the screw thread 2b with the connecting rod housing 2.
  • the other group comprises a sealing member 6 and a connecting rod 7 which is firmly connected to the sealing member 6.
  • the connecting rod 7 extends through a bore 50 in the pressure spindle 5.
  • the pressure controllable pump delivers liquid from a reservoir 11 into the pressure chamber 8 of the pitman housing 2. This liquid presses the sealing member 6 onto the sleeves 4 and thus brings about the rigidity of the pitman over its entire set length. On other hand, the liquid acts through the sealing member 6 and the sleeve 4 onto the pressure spindle 5 and thereby clamps the screw connection against the housing 2 of the pitman.
  • the mechanical force exerted by the ram through the connecting rod 7 and the sealing member 6 onto the liquid in the pressure chamber 8 is thus greater than the force which results from the liquid pressure multiplied by the cross section of the sealing member 6 so that the latter moves relative to the pitman housing 2 and is lifted off from the sleeve 4.
  • the hydraulic overload safety mechanism has a high response precision with a response point which is variable in a continuous manner in a definite range, the
  • a hydraulic overload safety device comprising a pitman adjustable in length for presses and similar machine tools, which includes: pitman housing means having a central blind bore opening in one direction and having its open end on the inside thereof provided with threads, sleeve means reciprocable in said bore, threaded spindle means threadedly engaging said threaded open end of said pitman housing means, and supporting said sleeve means, sealing means resting on said sleeve means, a connecting rod having one of its ends connected to said sealing means and being reciprocably guided by and in said sleeve means and in said threaded spindle means, the other end of said connecting rod being connectable to a ram, said sealing means together with the adjacent portion of said sleeve means and said pitman housing means defining a pressure chamber, pump means having a suction side, liquid storage means communicating with said suction side, said pump means also having a pressure side for communication with said pressure chamber to deliver liquid under pressure thereto and establish a pressure
  • a pitman according to claim 1 which includes means associated with said overload safety device and operable automatically in response to said overload safety device becoming effective to stop said press and in response to said overload safety device being in ineffective position to again place said press into operative position.
