Abstract

The invention provides an automatic disconnecting device for a tool gas source. The automatic disconnecting device comprises a base, a support, a gun stock base, a lever mechanism, a balancing weight and a stop valve. The lever mechanism is hinged to the top of the support, the gun stock base is fixed to one end of the lever mechanism, and the balancing weight is fixed to the other end of the lever mechanism. The stop valve is linked with the lever mechanism and is used for controlling the on-off of an air source; when the pneumatic tool is placed on the gun stock base, the weight of the pneumatic tool drives the balancing weight to ascend through the lever mechanism, and the balancing weight drives the stop valve to be closed. And when the pneumatic tool is taken down from the gun stock base, the balancing weight falls down, the stop valve restores the opening state, and the air source is communicated.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pneumatic system control technology, and more specifically, to a tool air source automatic disconnection device. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production settings such as automobile assembly workshops, pneumatic tools such as pneumatic riveting guns and pneumatic wrenches are widely used in riveting and bolting operations. These tools are typically connected to the factory's compressed air system via hoses. Due to the inherent structural characteristics of these tools, they may continue to vent air even when not in use, resulting in a waste of compressed air. Currently, most solutions to this problem rely on manual operation to close ball valves or disconnect connectors, or on building automated control systems using sensors and solenoid valves. However, the former is highly dependent on manual operation and cumbersome, and cannot be effectively shut off at all times under tight production schedules, resulting in significant compressed air losses. The latter has a complex structure, a high failure rate, and high cost.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mechanical device that requires no power supply or manual intervention, can automatically determine the status of tools and control the air supply, in order to improve production efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Summary of the Invention
