Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a punch assembly.
- Known punch assemblies comprise a cylindrical tubular body or casing extending coaxially with a reference axis and fitted integrally at the bottom end with a blankholder disk which is placed on the work sheet; and a substantially cylindrical toolholder body extending coaxially with the reference axis, and an end portion of which slides axially inside the casing.
- Known punch assemblies also comprise a punch screwed to the end of the toolholder body inside the casing, so as to engage in sliding manner a through hole in the blankholder disk; and an elastic element located between the top end of the casing which is not provided with the blankholder disk and the end of the toolholder body outside the casing, to keep the punch in a withdrawn position in which the cutting end of the punch engages the through hole in the blankholder disk but does not project outwards of the casing.
- The end of the toolholder body outside the casing is designed to receive a ram, which, for a given time, exerts such pressure as to overcome the resistance of the elastic element and move the punch from the withdrawn position into a work position in which the cutting end of the punch projects outwards of the casing through the hole in the blankholder disk.
- As is known, the cutting end of the punch is subject to wear, so that, to ensure consistently high-quality work, punch assemblies of the above type must be ground periodically to remove the worn material and so restore the cutting end of the punch to its original shape.
- A major drawback of punch assemblies of the above type is that repeated grinding eventually results in the cutting end of the punch backing up gradually inside the casing, so that the travel of the ram must be checked periodically by the operator to ensure the cutting end of the punch projects as required from the blankholder disk in the work position.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a punch assembly designed to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a punch assembly comprising a cylindrical tubular body extending coaxially with a given axis; a blankholder disk at one end of the cylindrical tubular body; a toolholder body having at least an end portion sliding axially inside said cylindrical tubular body; a punch, which is fitted integrally to the end of the toolholder body facing said blankholder disk, and a cutting end of which engages in sliding manner a through hole formed in the blankholder disk; and an elastic element for keeping said toolholder body in a rest position wherein the punch is withdrawn inside the cylindrical tubular body; the punch assembly being characterized in that said toolholder body is divided into a first and a second element connected to each other in such a manner as to permit adjustment of the total axial length of the toolholder body; the elastic element being interposed between the cylindrical tubular body and said first element; and the punch being fitted integrally to said second element to permit adjustment of the position of the punch with respect to the blankholder disk, and so keep the cutting end at a given distance from the through hole in the blankholder disk, by varying the total axial length of the toolholder body.
- A non-limiting embodiment of the present invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 shows a section of a punch assembly in accordance with the teachings of the present invention;
- Figure 2 shows a section, with parts removed for clarity, of a detail in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 shows a section along line II-II in Figure 2;
- Figure 4 shows a section along line I-I in Figure 1.
-
- Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a punch assembly for use on a known punching machine.
- Punch assembly 1 comprises a cylindrical
tubular body 2 extending coaxially with a longitudinal axis A and fitted at the bottom end with a blankholder disk 3, which is placed on the work sheet; atoolholder body 4 extending coaxially with axis A and having an end portion movable axially inside cylindricaltubular body 2; and apunch 5 housed inside cylindricaltubular body 2 and fitted integrally to the bottom end oftoolholder body 4 facing blankholder disk 3. -
Punch 5 comprises acutting end 5a, which engages in sliding manner a through hole formed in blankholder disk 3. - With reference to Figures 2 and 3, in the example shown, cylindrical
tubular body 2 comprises aliner 6 extending coaxially with axis A along substantially the whole length of cylindricaltubular body 2, and defining, inside cylindricaltubular body 2, a prismatic, substantially octagonalaxial cavity 7. More specifically, the section ofaxial cavity 7 is defined by an octagon having four flat sides alternating with four curved sides in turn defined by respective arcs of the circle in which the octagon is inscribed. - With reference to Figure 1,
toolholder body 4 comprises two elements, in particular a prismatic body and a sleeve, connected to each other to permit adjustment of the total axial length oftoolholder body 4. - The prismatic body, hereinafter marked at 8, has a section complementary to that of
axial cavity 7 so as to engageaxial cavity 7 in sliding manner, is fitted withpunch 5 at one end, and comprises, at the opposite end, a threadedshank 9 projecting outwards of cylindricaltubular body 2. - The sleeve, hereinafter marked at 10, extends coaxially with axis A and outwards of cylindrical
tubular body 2, is at least partly screwed to threadedshank 9, and comprises a ring nut 11 at one end and ashoulder 12 at the other end.Shoulder 12 is shaped to engageaxial cavity 7 in sliding manner, and ring nut 11 is screwed to the end ofsleeve 10 opposite the end facingprismatic body 8. -
Sleeve 10 engages in sliding manner abush 13 inserted inside a seat formed on the end of cylindricaltubular body 2 opposite the end fitted with blankholder disk 3;bush 13 is locked inside the seat, e.g. by means of a knownlock ring 13a, and is so sized as to prevent withdrawal ofshoulder 12 fromaxial cavity 7. - Punch assembly 1 also comprises an elastic element 14 (in the example shown, a coil spring) extending coaxially with axis A and outside
sleeve 10, so that a first end rests on ring nut 11, and a second end rests on the top end of cylindricaltubular body 2. In the example shown, the second end ofelastic element 14 also rests onbush 13 of cylindricaltubular body 2. -
Elastic element 14 provides for keepingtoolholder body 4 in a rest position, whereinshoulder 12 ofsleeve 10contacts bush 13,punch 5 is fully withdrawn inside cylindricaltubular body 2, and cuttingend 5a engages the through hole in blankholder disk 3 without projecting outwards. - Ring nut 11 is designed to receive a known ram, by which sufficient axial force is exerted on ring nut 11 to compress
elastic element 14, move ring nut 11 towardsbush 13 andtoolholder body 4 towards the work sheet, and so movepunch 5 into a work position wherein cuttingend 5a engages the through hole in blankholder disk 3 and projects outwards of cylindricaltubular body 2. - In the rest position, seeing as only sleeve 10 contacts bush 13 of cylindrical
tubular body 2, the distance betweenprismatic body 8 and blankholder disk 3 may therefore be adjusted by screwing or unscrewing threadedshank 9 insidesleeve 10. Adjusting the position ofprismatic body 8 insideaxial cavity 7 provides for so adjusting the position ofpunch 5 that, in the rest position, cuttingend 5a is located a given distance D from the end of the through hole in blankholder disk 3. This is particularly useful when, as a result of grinding, the axial length ofpunch 5 is reduced so that cuttingend 5a withdraws inside the through hole in blankholder disk 3. - With reference to Figure 1,
punch 5 comprises a prismaticcentral portion 15 of a section complementary to that ofaxial cavity 7; afront portion 16 comprising cuttingend 5a; and a substantially T-shapedrear portion 17, which engages aseat 18 formed inprismatic body 8, at the opposite end to threadedshank 9, to enable fast replacement ofpunch 5. More specifically,seat 18 is so formed as to enablerear portion 17 to be withdrawn fromseat 18 by movingpunch 5 perpendicularly to axis A with respect totoolholder body 4. - With reference to Figures 1 and 4, the bottom end of cylindrical
tubular body 2 comprises aseat 19 for housing blankholder disk 3, and which is substantially U-shaped and extends in a plane perpendicular to axis A to permit lateral insertion of blankholder disk 3. A substantiallyannular groove 20 is formed insideseat 19, at the extension ofaxial cavity 7, and is engaged by alock ring 21 on the peripheral edge of blankholder disk 3. - In the example shown, the top end of cylindrical
tubular body 2 comprises anannular projection 22 coaxial with axis A, and on which an elastic element (not shown) of the punching machine abuts. - Operation of punch assembly 1 is clearly understandable from the foregoing description with no further explanation required.
- The main advantage of punch assembly 1 is the possibility, when fitting
punch 5 totoolholder body 4, of adjusting the position ofpunch 5 insideaxial cavity 7, so that cuttingend 5a ofpunch 5 is always the same distance from the end of the through hole in blankholder disk 3. As a result, the travel of the ram need no longer be checked eachtime cutting end 5a ofpunch 5 is ground, thus greatly reducing the routine maintenance time of the machine. - Moreover, dividing
toolholder body 4 intoprismatic body 8 andsleeve 10 makes for a modular structure and for greatly simplifying assembly of punch assembly 1. Being engaged permanently between ring nut 11 ofsleeve 10 andbush 13 of cylindricaltubular body 2,elastic element 14, in fact, may be extracted together withsleeve 10, with no need to fully dismantle punch assembly 1, as at present. - A further advantage of punch assembly 1 is the particular shape of
seat 19, which provides for faster maintenance ofpunch 5 by permitting fast removal of blankholder disk 3. - Clearly, changes may be made to punch assembly 1 as described and illustrated herein without, however, departing from the scope of the present invention.
