- 9 Claims. (01. 164-88) This invention relates to punching apparatus for punching metal plates or the like with a high .degree of accuracy.
In certainclasses of work it is necessary that 6 the perforations made in the metal plates be spaced very accurately and be clean-cut in order to assure the proper functioning of the plates in their various applications. Such is the case, for example, in the making of dies for record 1 card punching machines such as described in the U. 8. Patent 2,032,805 to C. D. Lake where close tolerances are essential. Accordingly, it is the general object of the present invention to provide a punching apparatus having novel means for feeding the material to be pierced a pred'etermined accurate distance between punching operations and locking the same against movement during said punching operations.
More specifically, it is the object of the present invention to provide a novel screw type feed for the rack of a punching machine comprising a rotatable shaft having 'a plurality of cams thereon cooperating in succession with a plurality of notches in the rack in the course of rotation of the shaft. so as to lock the rack during the punching operation and feed the same a predetermined accurate distance between punching operations.
Further objects of the instant invention reside in any novel feature of construction or operation or novel combination of parts present in the embodiment of the invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings whether within or without the scope of the appended claims and irrespective of other specific statements as to the scope of the invention contained herein.
In the drawings;
Fig. 1 is a front elevation view of the machine showing the various operating parts.
Fig. 2 is a view of the stock showing the location of the holes to be punched therein.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of. the die plates ofthe punching apparatus shown in Fig. 1 taken in the direction 3-3.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the machine taken at 4-4 of Fig. 1 in the direction indicated by the arrows. I
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken generally at 55 of Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 is a detail view of the punch mechanism shown in Fig. 5.
Fig. 7 is a sectional view taken in the direction 8- 8 is a sectional view taken at 8-8 of Fig.
4 showing the shape of the feed cams and their spacing around the periphery of the feed shaft.
It is apparent that the subject matter of the present invention may find applications in ma- 5 chines other than punching machines. However, for purposes of illustration and in order to forego too much detail, the description which follows is confined to .a preferred embodiment of the invention as applied to a metalpunching machine. 10
Referring now to the drawings the frame structure as shown in Fig. 1' includes base It and upright members II. A crosshead I2 is supported by and is integral with a connecting member l3 to which a reciprocating motion is imparted by 15 any suitable means (not shown). The crosshead is guided in its movement by the members II, the down stroke being a punching stroke and the up stroke being a feeding stroke.
Assuming, for example, that a piece of stock go such as ll (Fig. 2) is to receive a plurality of perforations Ila in predetermined accurately spaced relationship with one another, the stock is placed on a rack I! and firmly positioned by locating pins l8 (Fig. 4). The rack is provided 25 on one side with a plurality of notches which cooperate with aplurality of cams such as ll, l8, l9, and 20 to impart the necessary longitudinal feed movement of the rack after each punching stroke. The feed cams are mounted so on a shaft 2| and have engaging portions or high points spaced equally around the periphery of the shaft 2|, as best shown in Fig. 8. The high point of one of the cams is normally. in engagement with the rack Ill, locking the latg5 ter against movement in either direction. Upon rotation of shaft 2| a predetermined amount, in a manner to be described later, the high point of the cam in engagement with the rack is moved away and the high point of another cam is moved into engagement with the following notch in the rack. Each of the highpoints is provided with a beveled leading surface so that in moving into engagement with the rack the beveled surface engages a wall of one notch in 45 the rack and cams the latter forward a predetermined distance. 1
At the beginning of operations, the first cam l1 ise'ngaged in the first notch in rack Ill as shown in Fig. 4. On the downstroke of cross- 50 head l2, a lever 22 turns about the shaft 2i carrying a ratchet pawl 23 downward to engage in a succeeding notch of ratchet wheel 24. The ratchet wheel is provided with four teeth equally spa ed around its periphery so that it requires v I9 into engagement withthe third notch of rack Feeding occurs on the up-stroke of the crosshead H, the lever 22 being connected to the crosshead by a link 25, and during the upstroke the pawl 23 advances the ratchet 24 ninety degrees in a clockwise direction as viewed in Fig. 1'.
The advancement of ratchet 24 in the above manner causes the high point of the second cam l8 to move into engagement with the second notch of rack II and, as it does so, to feed the rack a predetermined distance as previously described. During the next downstroke, punching occurs in a new location on the stock 14 and the rack and stock are held firmly locked against movement by the engagement of cam I8 with rack ll.
The following upstroke brings the third cam l5. moving' the rack and the stock ahead to present a new portion ofthe surface of the stock for a punching operation. Likewise, on thenext upstroke, the fourth cam 20 engages in the fourth notch of rack l5 and again advances the rack and the stock inthe same manner. Itwill be noted that when ratchet 24 is turned one more step that cam I1 is again moved into engagement with rack l 5, since one revolution will have been completed. This time, however, cam l1 engages in the second notch of the rack, Cor-- respondingly, as the other cams are broughtinto engagement with the rack, they will engage a notch one removed from the notch which they engaged on the preceding revolution of shaft 2|.
By the abovefeeding method, the number of notches may be considerably less than the number of holes to be punched in the stock. Suppose, for example, that the number of holes to be cut in the stock is 80, then the number of notches in the rack need be only 22. It is understood that more sets of cams may be secured to shaft 2|, so that two or three cams are engaged with the rack simultaneously. This would assure a more perfect alignment over a greater period of time due to less wear and a greater rigidity. A bracket 26 is fastened at one end of rack II by means of screws 21 and, upon the completion of the last punching operation, this bracket moves into the path of pawl 23 so as to prevent it from further engagement with ratchet 24, thus discontinuing any further advancement of the rack Ii.
As for the punching mechanism, a pimch 3|! (Fig. 5) is mounted in a holder comprising the two members 3! and 32 held in a clamping position on punch 30 by means of screws 22, the punch and its holder being stationary. A set of four die plates 28 are arranged as shown in Fig. 3 and fastened to the bottom surface of the crosshead I 2 by screws 29. When the crosshead moves down, the die plates 22 bear upon the stock 14, and in turn upon the rack I5 and a stripper 34 moving all of them down. During this downward motion the punch 20 pierces the stock and enters hole 2! formed by the die plate 28. The stripper 24 is guided by rigid pins 26 in its vertical motion and is returned to its normal position by means of coil springs 21.
Immediately following the punching of the last hole in the stock, the rack may be returned to the starting point by rotating shaft 2| a slight amount to a point where any two of the engaging surfaces of the cams will straddle rather than engage the rack. Then, as will be best under stood from Fig. 8, the rack may be moved freely back to the starting point. This presents a time saving advantage over an ordinary worm drive construction where the worm shaft corresponding to shaft 2| would have to be rotated in the" reverse direction to feed the rack back to the starting point.
The shaft 2|, although quite free to rotate under the pawl and ratchet drive, is mounted in bearings 28 with very little end play so that it does not turn under vibration caused by the impact of the punching elements during a punching operation. The structure is best shown'in Fig. '7 which reveals threaded portions 2 la at each end of the shaft adapted to receive nuts 39. At the upper portiorrof the shaft as viewed in this figure, the cams II to 20' are mounted with spacers 40 therebetween, both the cams and the spacers being keyed to the shaft. Nut 29 for the upper portion is held in position by a screw 4l provided for this purpose. The pawl and ratchet assembly already described are also keyed to shaft 2| and' secured in position by a nut 39 cooperating with threaded portion 21a at the lower end of the shaft as viewed in Fig. 7.
While there has been shown and described and pointed out the fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to a single modification, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the form and details of the device illustrated and in its operation may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
