Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multistep, especially two-step insertion device, for instance, for shears-platens, which are moved during a first slide stroke by a coupling member from a magazine hopper and are gripped at the end of this slide stroke by a stripper member to be maintained in a ready position, while the slide then during its second stroke by gripping the platen by means of tongs feeds the platen from the ready position into a tool, whereby the reciprocating movement of the slide is derived from the upward and downward movement of a machine tappet.
  • a feeding movement of a feeding device is derived from the tappet movement of the machine and if further during a comparatively short stroke of the tappet the feeding device must perform a possibly long feeding stroke, the danger exists that the advancing work pieces, for instance, work pieces to be inserted into a tool for further operation, are not only not reliably gripped at the start of the feeding movement, rather may slide at the end of the feeding movement easily beyond the insertion tool and thus are not properly inserted.
  • one object of the present invention to provide a multistep, especially a two-step insertion device, in which, on the one hand, the work pieces are reliably gripped at the start of the feeding movement, and, on the other hand, are rather safely inserted into the tool at the end of the feeding movement of these preliminary fed work pieces.
  • An axle enters into the guide block at one end while its other end is rotatably mounted in a driver lever which in turn is coupled to a shaft rotatably mounted in a housing wall of a drive box for joint rotation.
  • the shaft carries at the opposite end a transmission member rigidly secured thereto and formed as a notched segment or toothed gear.
  • the transmission member is in mesh with a transmisison drive consisting likewise of gears mounted on axles disposed in the housing wall, whereby on the same axle carrying the drive gear a crank is mounted on which a slide drive link engages which is adjustable as to its stroke and the slide is connected with a tipping lever formed as a double-armed lever for an indirect and retarded, respectively, slide movement on the end opposite to the crank.
  • the tipping lever is mounted on an axle disposed crosswise to the longitudinal axis of the slide within a slide recess overriding the width of the tipping lever in the direction of its swinging movement.
  • the upper free end above the tipping lever formed as a control wedge engages the tong arms with corresponding wedge-shaped counter-control faces provided on the tong arms always prior to the start of the retarded advancing movement caused by the braking of the slide in the direction of gripping of the work piece and prior to the start of the return stroke for the purpose of releasing, that means the freeing of the work piece.
  • the tipping lever which is connected with the slide drive link, is at first subjected to swinging movement and closes over its control wedge the slide tongs, so that the latter can grip the work piece safely.
  • this tipping lever is tipped again about its bearing axle, whereby the control wedge swings out from its working position and the springs charging the tong arms can become effective in the direction of opening the tongs, so that the tongs open. Only after the tongs are opened, the actual return stroke of the slide takes place.
  • This effect of the forced control is brought about in connection with a friction brake, so that the slide is not permitted to move immediately upon movement of the slide drive link.
  • the movement is elfective upon the tipping lever always at first at the start only, so that the tipping lever can operate as planned. Only after the tipping lever has performed its working functionin the direction of the closing of the tongs or opening of the tongswill the slide be moved against the friction force of the brake. Due to the fact that the friction force of the brake is adjustable, the gripping force can likewise be changed, because upon increasing the friction, the slide retardation is increased and the path for gripping the work pieces by closing the tongs is lengthened until finally the friction force is overcome and the slide is moved.
  • the structural arrangement of the stroke equalization device disposed on the side of the tap-pet is of importance for a safe function of the insertion device. Since, namely under circumstances the drive stroke of the tappet can be greater than that of the driving rod, which cooperates with stroke-limiting abutments, the remaining portion of the tappet stroke which cannot be taken up any more or cannot be transmitted any more by the driving rod must be taken up by a spring disposed within a bearing bushing arranged adjustable as to its height in the tappet arm. This overrun of the tappet stroke is also required for the necessary standstill of the slide at the start of the forward stroke and at the start of the return stroke.
  • the stroke equalization device disposed on the tappet side is releasably coupled with the driving rod disposed on the slide side, which arrangement is brought about such that the driving rod has a set-01f coupling head at its end on the coupling side, while the end of the coupling rod on the coupling side is correspondingly recessed likewise in a set-off manner.
  • the coupling is brought about. This type of connection is also of advantage for balancing out the assembly tolerances.
  • the limit of the drive stroke of the driving rod is chosen suitably such that in connection with the transmission gear between the drive and the crank a rotary swinging angle of about 180" is formed and that for obtaining a forward movement following a sinus-shaped curve in a path-time diagram in both end positions of the crank, the longitudinal axis of the crank, as well as the longitudinal axis of the slide drive link are disposed in one vanishing plane parallel to the axis of the forward stroke of the slide.
  • the stroke length of the slide can be adjusted in this insertion device by adjusting the crank lever of the crank on its rotary axis crosswise to its longitudinal axis.
  • a longitudinal adjustment of the total slide device relative to the tool can be performed without any difficulty, whereby for the length of balancing, the slide drive link has at its end on the side of the coupling a longitudinal slot through which a crank pin, securable in the longitudinal slot, extends. All these setting and adjustment positions are of importance not to be underestimated as to the technique of mounting, as well as to the performance of a safe function of the device.
  • supporting plates are provided, which are swingable towards the slide center and which are controlled by the slide itself. If the slide is disposed in its returned position, these plates swing by the force of the spring, which biases the plates in opposite directions inwardly and support the work piece falling from the ready position into the open slide tongs as long until the tongs are closed and the advancing slide moves the plates again outwardly.

  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary top plan view of the slide tongs with the control wedge of the tipping lever.
  • FIG. 6 is a cross-section of the slide within the range of the friction brake.
  • the insertion device comprises a tappet 10 which is connected with a tappet arm 11, the latter being equipped at its free end with a clamp-like holding device 12, in which a stroke equalization device 13-21 is retained, which is adjustable as to its height.
  • the stroke equalization device 13-21 comprises a bearing bushing 13 receiving a helical pressure spring 14, 'which in turn is supported at both ends by a pressure disk 15 and 16, respectively, which is axially movable within the bearing bushing 13.
  • These pressure disks 15 and 16 are secured against axial removal from the bearing bushing 13 by a cup-screw 17 and 18, respectively, which cup-screws 17 and 18 are screwed to the outer face of the bearing bushing 13.
  • a coupling rod 19 extends through t-he center of the bearing bushing 13 over its entire length and is equipped at its free upper end with 4 safety means 20.
  • the entire stroke equalization mechanism is movable on this coupling rod 19.
  • the lower free end of the coupling rod 19 has a set-off recess 21.
  • This driving rod 23 enters a gear box 24 and has a cross-guide 25 for reception of a guide block 26.
  • One end of an axle 27 enters the guide block 26, the other end of which is received rotatably by a coupling lever 28, which in turn is coupled for joint'movement with a shaft 29.
  • the latter is rotatably mounted in a bearing of the housing wall 30 and carries at its lower end a transmission member 31 formed as a toothed gear segment or as a toothed gear, which is thus rigidly connected.
  • This transmission member 31 engages an intermediate gear 32, which is mounted on an axle 33 retained in the housing Wall 30.
  • This intermediate gear 32 is in operative engagement with an output gear 34 which is likewise disposed on an axle 35 mounted in the housing wall 30.
  • the transmission member 31 and the gears 32 and 34 thus form a transmission drive.
  • crank 36 On the driving axle 35 is mounted also a crank 36 which is adjustable in crosswise direction to the longitudinal axis of the axle 35.
  • This crank 36 is received in a cross groove 37 disposed at the end face of the axle 35.
  • the crank lever 36 has a longitudinal slot 38 through which securing screw bolts 39 extend and which enter the axle 35.
  • a crank pin 40 disposed on the driving end of the crank 36 enters a coupling break of a slide drive link 42, which couplin'g break is formed as a longitudinal slot 41 and the crank pin 40 is in the longitudinal slot 41.
  • This slide drive link 42 in conjunction with a tipping lever 43 and 44 constitutes the connection with the slide 45.
  • the slide drive link 42 engages a lever arm 43 of the tipping lever 43 and 44 designed as a doublearmed lever, which tipping lever 43 and 44 is mounted within the slide 45 on a pivot 46.
  • the slide 45 is recessed in this hearing range beyond the width of the tipping lever 43 and 44 in the direction of the movement of the slide 45, so that the tipping lever 43 and 44, relative to its direction of movement, is mounted with play in this recess.
  • the other lever arm 44 of the tipping lever 43 and 44 is designed as a control wedge and penetrates between the arms 48 and 49 of the slide tongs. The control wedge faces 44a of the other lever arm 44 (FIG.
  • the slide 45 is guided between lateral guide ledges 54 and is continuously braked by means of a friction brake (FIG. 6).
  • the latter comprises a brake block 56, which is supported on the inside on one of the lateral guide ledges 54.
  • the brake force is adjusted by means of a screw 57.
  • a pair of supporting plates 58 amounts to an element of the structural parts of the slide 45, the plates being oppositely biased by a spring 59 and swingably mounted at the pivots 60. If the slide 45 is disposed in its withdrawn position, these plates 58 swing towards the center of the slide 45 and form a support for the falling work piece 61. If the latter is gripped by the tongs and if the slide 45 moves forwardly again, these plates 58 are turned outwardly again by means of the front edges 45a Starting from the position shown in FIG. 1, during the lowering of the tappet 10 of the machine along the stroke equalization device 13-21, the driving rod 23 is moved downwardly, in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG.
  • the plates 58 can swing towards the center and can support temporarily the work piece 61 retained in ready position by the stripper device 65.
  • the return stroke of the slide 45 performs as stated above. If now the tappet stroke is greater than the driving stroke of the rod 23, the rest of the stroke of the tappet 10 goes into the spring 14 of the stroke equalization device 13-21.
  • the tipping lever 43 and 44 is at first again tipped with the result that the lever arm 44 closes forcibly the tong arms 48 and 49, which grip in turn safely the work piece 61 which is at the present time on the plates 58. If now the tipping movement of the tipping lever 43 and 44 reaches the position in which the lever arm 43 abuts the front side lower edge of the recess 47, the slide 45 is advanced against the force of the friction brake. During this forward stroke another work piece 61 is moved out by the coupling members 62 through the caliber-slot of the hopper or magazine 64 until the ready position is reached in which the stripping member 65 retains the work piece 61.
