Description

AUTOMATIC SCREWER
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to the technical field of automatic screwers, either with a supporting structure or portable.
BACKGROUND ART
Such screwers comprise a cylindrical tubular housing whose front end is associated with an operating head featuring a through axial channel. The front portion of said head is defined by pliers, operating symmetrically to said channel, designed to elastically restrain a screw inserted into the channel either automatically or manually, through a feeding mouth provided in the head.
Said screw is positioned in such a way that its shank protrudes out of the pliers. The screw head is to be engaged by a blade located inside said housing; said engagement is made possible by the axial translation given to the blade either manually, or through handling means located in the housing. The blade is drawn into rotation by the action of motor means, located in said housing, actuated in a suitable phase relationship with the axial translation of the same blade.
The combined action of the rotation and the translation of the blade allows the engagement of the screw with the relative seating (or zone) where it is to be fastened, with the contemporary disengagement of the same screw from the pliers.
In some cases, e.g. with self-threading screws, while the operator is looking for the point where the tip of the screw is to be driven in, in order to locate that point as much exactly as possible, the same screw, not yet subjected to the action of said blade, undergoes axial thrusts not suitably offset by the pliers.
This brings about the axial return of the screw into the head channel, with all the drawbacks known by the experts in the field.
Some technical solutions are known, which on the one hand avoid the axial return of the screw, but on the other hand bring about further drawbacks. In a known solution, upstream of the pliers at least a rocking lever is provided, so to allow the passage of the screw in the channel from inside outwards, but not the reverse, thus acting as a ratchet gear. In practice, said lever is struck by the screw, thus, with the use of the screwer, it tends to break.
In another known solution, the operating head is axially movable as to the housing, through a pneumatic jack external to said housing and head. Upon the insertion of the screw into the channel of the head, this latter results to be at the maximum distance from the housing. After said insertion, the head is moved closer to the housing so to allow the interception of the screw head against the blade; thus the axial return of the screw into the channel is avoided, also by the fact that the axial movement of the blade is performed manually.
That solution turns out to be particularly complex, as well as cumbersome; the moving parts of the screwer require a suitable operating space, with all the drawbacks that this brings about.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
One of the objects of the present invention is the provision of an automatic screwer which, besides its specific purposes, avoids the axial return of the screw, through a technical solution which turns out to be of simple construction, functional, reliable, and does not involve any parts in movement externally to the housing of the same screwer.
Another object of this invention is to improve said screwer so that it may be usefully associated with a screw dispenser designed to feed the same screwer automatically.
A further object of this invention is to provide a screwer which, besides the above-mentioned features, turns out to be universal, i.e. it may be fed either automatically or manually.
The above-mentioned objects are accomplished by that certain construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more specifically pointed out and claimed.
The improvements provided allow to stabilize the position wherein the screw is kept elastically by pliers, i.e. with its shank protruding from the pliers, independently from the presence or the absence of axial stresses acting on the screw and directed towards the inside of the screwer.
Consequently, the present screwer may be advantageously used anyway, particularly in those situations requiring, for optimal results, to exert an axial thrust on the screw, from outside inwards, before screwing.
Further the improvements do not involve any parts moving externally, therefore the operating space required when the screwer is to be used depends exclusively on its size.
Moreover the improvements provided are feasible both for automatic-feed screwers, and for manual-feed screwers, and indifferently for fixed or portable screwers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention will be described further, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein: - Figures 1,2,3 are all diagrammatic views of longitudinal sections of the present screwer showing this latter respectively in the operating position, in the automatic screw feeding position, and in the rest position; - Figures 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d show diagrammatic views of longitudinal sections of the head of the present screwer, illustrating significant phases of the manual feeding of this latter.
MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Referring to Figs. 1,2,3, the numeral 1 generally designates a cylindrical housing having its back end closed by a wall 2 and being provided, in the other end, with an operating head 3 featuring a through axial channel 4. In the channel 4, in central position, has its outlet a feeding mouth 5 (provided in the head 3) associated, through a duct 6, with an automatic dispenser 50 of screws 7.
The front portion of the head 3 is defined by pliers 8 (illustrated schematically, as they are already known) operating symmetrically as to the channel 4; the function of said pliers is to elastically restrain a screw 7, with this latter oriented as shown in fig.3, i.e. with its shank 7a protruding from the same pliers.
In the axial hole 15 of the housing 1 is located a cylindrical shell 9 containing a pneumatic geared motor (not illustrated) and a friction assembly (also not illustrated) associated with a blade 10, freely inserted into the channel 4, whose front end 10a has a shape complementary to the head 7b of the screw 7, in order to engage with this latter screw head .
The shell 9, which may slide axially inside the housing, is centrally provided with a shoulder 11 defining, in a relative portion of the housing hole 15, two chambers 12,13, respectively for the return of the shell and for the final advancement of the latter (as will be hereinafter more fully explained).
The back portion 9a of the shell 9 slides in the back portion 15a of the hole 15, or initial advancement chamber of the shell itself, closed transversally by the wall 2. In the chamber 15a slides sealingly a piston 14.
The chamber 15a, on the side of the wall 2, is connected with a duct 24 which, by the interposition of a valve 30, is connected with a source 100 of compressed air.
The chambers 12,13 are connected, through relative ducts 12a, 13a, with a cylinder 16 made in a body 17 integral with the housing; in said cylinder a feeding duct 18, connected with said source 100 of compressed air, has its outlet.
In the cylinder 16 is inserted a distributor valve 19 which may be operated manually by the operator through a lever 20 restrained to the body 17, in contrast with a spring 21 inserted in the cylinder
16; the cylinder 16 and the valve 19 define a pneumatic distributor 35.
With the lever 20 lowered (fig.l) the distributor 35 allows to put only the chamber 13 under pressure, while with the lever 20 raised (figs. 2 and 3), the same distributor 35 allows to put only the chamber 12 under pressure. In the surface defining the hole 15 there is an annular groove connected with a duct 23 associated with a control unit 40 controlling the distributor 35 and the valve 30. The operation of the screwer is described here below, referring to figs. 1,2,3.
The rest position, i.e. the condition of interval between a screwing and the subsequent one, is illustrated in fig.3. The shank 7a of the screw 7 results to be protruding from the pliers 8, and the relative head 7b rests stably on the front end 10a of the blade 10' which is supported by the shell 9 with this latter kept in a characteristic position H by the piston 14 acting on the back end 9b of the same shell.
In detail, in the position of fig.3 the lever 20 is released, therefore the return chamber 12 is under pressure, and the chamber 15a is under pressure as well; with equal pressure, since the thrust section of the chamber 12 is remarkably smaller than the thrust section of the piston 14, consequently it is this latter that keeps the shell forward up to the said position H defined by the stroke of the same piston against a ring 25 (inner position I of the piston) .
The operation of the lever 20 (made by the operator, fig.l) brings under pressure the final advancement chamber 13, through the distributor 35.
This brings about the advancement (direction F) of the shell 9, and of course of the blade 10, as well as the actuation (in a way already known, thus not illustrated) of the geared motor with dragging into rotation (direction M) of the blade 10 and of the screw 7, with which the latter is engaged.
Consequently to the advancement of the shell 9, according to F, a slot 26 made in the back portion 9a of the same shell 9, and connected with the chamber 13, goes to overlap said annular groove 22; thus the duct 23 is interested by a pressure signal (relative to the chamber 13) detected by the control unit 40.
As a consequence of such signal (maximum value of pressure in the chamber 13) the control unit 40 acts on the dispenser 50, in order to prearrange the selection and the sorting out of a screw 7, and actuates the valve 30 so to bring about the discharge (arrow P) of the chamber 15a of the piston 14. At the end of the screwing, position K in fig.l (signalled by the mechanical release of the friction) the operator releases the lever 20, which , through the distributor 35, brings again the return chamber 12 under pressure; this allows the backing (direction G) of the shell 9 up to the position X (fig.2); such backing is not obstructed by the piston 14 (since the relative chamber 15a is discharged) which on the other hand is pulled by the back portion 9a of the same shell against the wall 2 (outer position E of the piston) .
With the lever 20 released, the chamber 13 is discharged; through the slot 25 and the groove 22 also the duct 23 gets discharged, which is detected by the control unit 40 which acts on the dispenser 50; this latter, consequently, in a suitable phase relationship with the backing of the shell 9, carries out the "automatic shooting" (direction V) of a screw 7 into the duct 6 ( fig . 2 ) .
Said screw, through the feeding mouth 5, goes to take place between the pliers 8, since it is not obstructed by the blade 10 which is in its most backward position (fig.2).
In relationship of phase with the "shooting" of the screw 7, the dispenser 50 actuates the valve 30 so to restore, through this latter, the connection of the chamber 15a with the source 100 of compressed air. This brings about the translation (direction F) of the piston 14 (together with the shell 9) up to the stroke 25 (position I of the piston); then said position H is reached again, wherein the front end 10a of the blade 10 engages the head 7b of the screw 7. As a consequence of said engagement the return of the screw 7 is prevented even in presence of axial stresses acting on this latter and directed inwards; in other words, the shank 7a of the screw 7 is anyway kept external to the pliers 8 with all the obvious advantages involved.
The screwer being the object of this invention may also be used without the dispenser 50.
It is sufficient to provide, in the head 3, for a slit 27, leading to the channel 4 on one side, and accessible from outside on the other side; said slit results to be partially covered by a spring elastic element (or leaf spring) 28: please see figs. 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d.
In that different construction the control unit 40 shall act on the valve 30, so to carry out the cycle described above; in particular, it shall provide for actuating the valve 30 with a predetermined delay as to the detection of "zero" pressure in the chamber 13.
The operator shall have to introduce the screw manually, between a screwing and the subsequent one (so to comply with said predetermined time) into the slit 27 as illustrated, in detail, in figs. 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d.
In the example illustrated, the- valve 30 and the dispenser 50 are controlled by the control unit 40 of pneumatic type.
The technical solution described above may be usefully associated with electric means for controlling the valve 30, interlocked with suitable sensor means for detecting the characteristic positions of the shell 9, e.g. the above-mentioned characteristic positions H, K and X.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
By means of the proposed technical solution it is possible to provide an automatic screwer which, besides its specific purposes, avoids the axial return of the screw. Therefore it is possible to obtain a screwer that turns out to be of simple construction, functional, reliable, and that does not involve any parts in movement externally to the housing.
Further by using this invention it is possible to manufacture a screwer that can be usefully associated with a screw dispenser designed to feed it automatically, but can also be fed manually. More generally the screwer so obtained can be used anyway, particularly in those situations requiring, for optimal results, to exert an axial thrust on the screw, from outside inwards, before screwing.
