Description
- This invention concerns a compressed-air distributing device and in particular a subbase with sectional modular elements for feeding and supporting pneumatic or solenoid control valves for apparatuses utilizing compressed air.
- As is known, in pneumatic control circuits for power-consuming machines or for apparatuses utilizing compressed air, it is the usual procedure to install two or more valves on a subbase for supporting and distributing the air, so as to supply compressed air to two or more utilizing units by means of a common feeding source. The subbases are currently made in one piece from a metal bar which is suitably drilled and machined in order to form a main feeding duct, the passages for the compressed air in correspondence with the points of assembling the various valves, and branched-off ducts for connecting to the various apparatus. Since the number of valves which can be used simultaneously varies from plant to plant, the manufacturers are forced to prepare and to store a large quantity and selection of subbases, resulting in considerably high management costs and capital expenditure. Furthermore, these types of subbases are characterized by their extremely poor versatility, in that they can very rarely be adapted to meet all the requirements of the users.
- In an attempt to remedy these problems, subbases with modular sectional elements have also been proposed, in which two or more distributing elements are connected in series in order to form a subbase with any given number of seat- inga for valves relative to any given number of utilizing apparatuses. Even though the sectional subbases currently in use fulfill the purpose for which they were designed, there still remains the problem of their structural simplification and matchability, in addition to the problem of a satisfactory liquid seal.
- To date, the mechanical and pneumatic coupling of the various distributing elements in a subbase, has been achieved by means of particularly complicated systems which do not give total freedom from the problems of fitting and, consequently of operating the various valves, and from those of the various distributing units of a subbase.
- A scope of this invention is therefore to provide a modular sectional distributing unit for forming subbases for distributing compressed air and for supporting control valves, which is provided with an extremely simple but at the same time extremely efficient connecting system, capable that is, of ensuring a satisfactory airtight seal between adjacent distributing units, and which is also suitable for use in pneumatic circuits operating at relatively high pressures, equal to or over ten Bars.
- A further scope of this invention is to provide a subbase with sectional distributing units, as specified above, in which the individual distributors are provided with simple coupling means to permit a rapid assembly and which ensures the utmost rigidity and stability of the assembled subbase.
- All this has been made possible by means of a subbase made up of sectional distributing units for supporting and feeding compressed air to control valves, respectively to utilizing apparatuses, in which each distributing unit is provided with a main duct arranged along the longitudinal axis of the subbase, between lateral surfaces defining the interfaces of adjacent distributing units, and connecting means for firmly and tightly securing two or more distributing units together, characterized by the fact that the connecting means comprise, in correspondence with the aforesaid interfaces, pivot means situated on one side of the main duct, and at least one locking member on the opposite side of the aforesaid duct, said locking member acting in order to exert a clamping force between the interfaces of adjacent distributing units, which force slopes towards and forms an angle with the longitudinal axis of the main duct.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the pivot means between adjacent units are in the form of simple pins on one of the interfaces, which fit into appropriate seats on the corresponding interface of an adjacent distributing unit, whilst the locking member consists of a simple slanting screw, capable of exerting a thrust action in the direction of the hinge pins and at the same time of shifting the point of application of the clamping force as close as possible to the main duct axis, thereby permitting a better fluid seal.
- According to a further feature of the distributing units for subbases, according to this invention, each lateral interface between adjacent distributing units presents a first flat surface portion arranged on a plane at right angles to the axis of the main duct in correspondence with the pivot pins, and a second flat surface portion, parallel to and spaced apart from the first surface portion, arranged at the end of an intermediate sloping portion, in correspondence with which is situated the locking member.
- These and further features of the subbase with sectional distributing units, according to this invention, will ensue from the following description, with reference to the figures in the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Fig. 1 shows a front view of a sectional unit subbase, fitted with valves;
- Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of two distributing units according to a particular embodiment;
- Figs. 3 and 4 show side views of a distributing unit, in correspondence with the interfaces of adjacent units;
- Fig. 5 shows a partially sectional plan view of two adjoining distributing units;
- Figs. 6 and 7 show enlarged details of fig. 5, of the distributing units before and after the assembling.
- Figure 1 shows a generic subbase 1 for supporting and feeding air to a number of apparatuses or devices utilizing compressed air, more generically referred to as "utilizers", through pilot valves or
solenoid valves 2, only a few of which have been shown. - The subbase 1 is therefore made up of modular sectional distributing
units 3, equal in number to the valves to be fed, the overall structure of which is shown in the remaining figures. - In particular, each distributing unit is delimited on two sides by surfaces or portions of flat surfaces defining, with reference to the figures, a
lower face 4 for anchoring to the subbase 1, and anupper face 5 supporting thevalves 2, provided with acentral aperture 6 permitting communication between the inlet of avalve 2 and respectively, amain duct 7 of the distributing unit. Asecond aperture 8 for the flow of compressed air, on the aforesaidupper face 5, connects thevalve 2 to a branched-offduct 9 connected to the utilizer. - Each distributing
unit 3 is moreover delimited, on the two interfaces of adjacent units, by flat surfaces or surface portions lying in planes parallel to each other and at right angles to the longitudinal axis of themain duct 7 which is tightly connected to the main ducts of the following or preceding units and co-operates in defining the entire air-distribution duct in a subbase made in this way. - As can be seen from the figures, each of the interfaces of the distributing units comprises a first
flat surface portion main duct 7, and a secondflat surface portion gasket 13 is situated in an appropriate seating on thesurface 10b, to form an air seal in correspondence with themain duct 7. - Each distributing
unit 3 is completed by interconnecting means in order to permit quick and easy assembling and disassembling of the individual distributing units, with or without the valves assembled. The aforesaid interconnecting means substantially comprise pivot means situated on one side of the main duct, which in the case of the example shown, consist of a pair ofpins 14 on thesurface 10b, protruding parallel to the axis of themain duct 7, which pins fit into a corresponding pair of holes orseats 15 on thesurface 10a of the adjoining distributing unit, as shown schematically in figures 5 and 7. - The aforesaid interconnecting means comprise, moreover, a clamping member situated on the side of the
duct 7 opposite that of the centering and pivot means 14; such locking member may be made in any way as long as it is able to provide a clamping force which is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of themain duct 7 of the distributing unit, that is to say, to create a crosswise force between one unit and the other, having its action point as close as possible to the longitudinal axis of theduct 7. - In the specific; case, the locking member is in the form of a
screw 16 which screws into a threadedhole 17 in thesloping surface 12a of each unit, so that its axis forms an angle ranging between approximately 12 and 18 degrees with the axis of theduct 7; thescrew 16 lies on an intermediate plane between thehinge pins 14 and comprising the axis of the duct itself, so as to create an even distribution of the clamping pressures on the interfaces. Thefastening screw 16 engages with a fork-shaped part 18 on the opposite side of an adjacent unit, positioning the head of the screw to the rear of the arms of thefork 18. A tooth orprotrusion 19 beneath thescrew hole 17 comes to rest between the arms of thefork 18 and co-operates with thepins 14 to ensure that the various distributing units are and remain firmly secured and complanate to each other. - The various distributing
units 3 are assembled together to form a subbase of any desired length, in the following way: with reference to the example in the accompanying drawings, as shown in figures 2 and 6, two adjacent distributing units are placed close together and the fork -shaped end 18 of one unit is fitted onto thescrew 16 of the other by making them slide reciprocally along theinterfaces pins 14 of the first unit are aligned with theholes 15 of the other unit. At this point, thepins 14 are inserted into the corresponding holes, bringing thegasket 13 gently into contact with the peripheral edge of themain duct 7 of the adjoining distributing unit and making theopposing faces faces screw 16 and thepivot pins 14, thus enabling the correct airtight clamping of the units. In fact, due to the sloping disposition of thefastening screw 16, with respect to the axis of theduct 7, the tightening force of the screw is distributed in two directions at right angles to each other, one of which parallel to and lying in the plane of the twointerfaces duct 7. The first of these two forces will tend to shift the twounits 3 sideways, one with' respect to the other, forcing thepins 14 against the sides of therespective seats 15 and creating a sufficient frictional force to give the desired hinge-effect along an axis at right angles to theduct 7, that is to say, a sufficient degree of friction to prevent the pins from sliding out, whilst the other of the two component forces will act on the lever arm in the sense of pressing one distributing unit against the other, drawing the two interfaces close together until thefaces fastening screw 16 and the lever and hinge effect thus achieved, as well as the correct positioning of the two units achieved by means of thefiducial planes gasket 13 with an adequate sealing pressure. From tests carried out, it was observed that even at 10 Bars, that is to say, at the maximum operating pressure currently used for pneumatic systems, the locking system guarantees the necessary seal; however, the tests were continued until they reached fluid pressures of over 30 Bars, without any losses or problems occurring. - The locking system clearly offers numerous advantages in subbases of the aforementioned type, thanks to the particular sloping disposition of the clamping force exerted by the
screw 16 or by any other suitable device, in that this inclination makes it possible to create a point of articulation, even by means of simple axial pins, and at the same time bringing the point of application of the force close to the fluid duct, that is to say, in the area where the seal is of the utmost importance; moreover, apart from permitting its easy insertion into the fork-shaped end of the adjacent unit, the sloping disposition of the screw also offers operational simplicity by making use of a simple screwdriver which can be easily operated from one side without interfering with the individual units of the subbase. - It is understood therefore that, on the basis of the principles set forth herein, other solutions or dispositions of the locking and hinging elements are possible, without however deviating from what is claimed hereunder.
