Description
- This application claims priority from Italian Patent Application No.
102017000076644 - The present invention relates to an operating assembly for the insertion of connection pins into wood components or the like.
- In particular, the present invention relates to an operating assembly for the insertion of connection pins into wood components or the like of the type comprising a feeding unit to feed a liquid into a housing hole made in a wood component or the like and an insertion unit to insert a connection pin into the housing hole.
- Generally, the operating assembly is used in a machine for machining wooden or similar components comprising a base, a gripping system to receive and hold at least one component and an operating head provided with at least one tool.
- The gripping system and operating head are mutually mobile to allow the tool to perform machining by chip removal of the components.
- The gripping system and operating head are mutually mobile to allow the feeding unit to feed the liquid into the housing hole and the insertion unit to insert the connection pin into the same housing hole.
- When the operating assembly is fixed, the machine has an actuation device to move the gripping system and thus, the component with respect to the operating assembly.
- When the operating assembly is mobile, the machine has an actuation device to move the operating assembly with respect to the gripping system and thus to the component.
- In both cases described above, the machine is relatively complex and expensive and has a relative low level of flexibility and versatility.
- The aim of the present invention is to make an operating assembly for the insertion of connection pins into wood components, or the like, which is free of the drawbacks described above and which is easy and economical to implement.
- According to the present invention an operating assembly for the insertion of connection pins into wood components, or the like, is provided as claimed in the appended Claims.
- The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate an example of a non-limiting embodiment, wherein:
-
Figure 1 illustrates a schematic perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the operating assembly of the present invention; -
Figure 2 illustrates a schematic side view, with parts in cross-section and parts removed for the sake of clarity, of the operating assembly inFigure 1 ; and -
Figures 3 and 4 illustrate two schematic perspective views, with parts removed for clarity, of a particular of the operating assembly inFigure 1 . - With reference to
Figures 1 and2 , reference numeral 1 globally denotes, an operating assembly for the insertion ofconnection pins 2 into relative housing holes 3 made in components, in the case inpoint panels 4, of wood or the like. - The operating assembly 1 comprises an electro-
spindle 5 andequipment 6 fitted on the electro-spindle 5 in a removable manner. - The electro-
spindle 5 comprises an externaltubular casing 7 housing an electric motor known and not illustrated inside it provided with a rotor keyed to atubular output shaft 8, a free end section of which defines a tool-carrier spindle 9 mounted so as to rotate, with respect to thecasing 7, around its ownlongitudinal axis 10. - The
spindle 9 protrudes partially from thecasing 7 and has a seat 11 (in this case a conical seat) suitable to receive and center ashank 12 of theequipment 6 by means of apositioning pin 12a. - The electro-
spindle 5 further comprises acoupling device 13 comprising, in turn, agripping member 14, designed to engage theshank 12 of the equipment and an actuator, known and not illustrated, designed to move thegripping member 14 between a locking position (Figure 1 ) of theequipment 6 on thespindle 9 and a release position (not illustrated). - As illustrated in

system 16 comprises afeeding unit 19 to feed a liquid into the holes 3 and aninsertion unit 20 to insert theconnection pins 2 into the same holes 3. - The
feeding unit 19 comprises aninjection nozzle 21 that can be connected to a containment tank (not shown), which houses a glue inside when thepins 2 are free of glue and water when thepins 2 are pre-glued. - The
insertion unit 20 comprises astorage 22 of thepins 2 made in theframe 15. - The
storage 22 is in the form of afeed duct 23, which receives thepins 2 from atubular connection 24 connectable with a feed hopper (not illustrated), and cooperates with a pneumatic feed device (not illustrated) designed to move thepins 2 in succession along saidduct 23. - The
unit 20 further comprises adistribution drawer 25 provided with a transfer duct (not illustrated) made through thedrawer 25 in therelative direction - The
drawer 25 is attached to anoutput rod 26 of anactuator cylinder 27, and is moved by thecylinder 27 in adirection 28 transverse to thedirections duct 23 in thedirection pin 2, and a second operating position, in which the transfer duct (not illustrated) is aligned with a pushingdevice 29 in thedirection pin 2. - The
device 29 is common to the twosystems 16, and comprises atip 30, which extends in thedirection directions actuator cylinder 31 fixed to theframe 15 parallel to thedirection - The
tip 30 is moved by thecylinder 31 with a reciprocating rectilinear movement comprising an outward stroke, in which thetip 30 engages the transfer duct (not illustrated) of one of thedrawers 25 to push thecorresponding pin 2 inside a relative hole 3, and a return stroke, wherein thetip 30 engages the transfer duct (not illustrated) of theother drawer 25 to push thecorresponding pin 2 inside a relative hole 3. - The coupling between the electro-
spindle 5 and theequipment 6 via thecoupling device 13 allows use of theequipment 6 in a machine for machiningwooden panels 4, or the like, by making use of actuation devices of the electro-spindle 5 already present in the machine. In addition, theequipment 6 can be stored in a machine tool-holder magazine and can be mounted on the electro-spindle 5 manually or via an automatic tool change device.
