[0002] Pipe connection tools are mainly used to press two pipes together for connection. For example, an electric crimping tool disclosed in the applicant's prior patent application CN116810725A includes a working mechanism and a driving mechanism. The working mechanism includes a crimping head for acting on a target crimping object. A crimping die for clamping the outside of the target crimping object (such as a pipe) is provided on the crimping head. Under the action of the driving mechanism, the crimping ends of the crimping head gradually come together, thereby crimping the target crimping object.

[0042] <Embodiment>
[0043] As Figures 1-3 shown, this embodiment provides a connecting tool for crimping a crimping target 1 (such as a circular pipe). The connecting tool includes a driving part 2 and a crimping mechanism. Among them, the crimping mechanism includes a caliper 3 and a ring crimping die 5. The caliper 3 is installed on the driving part 2 and performs opening and closing operations under the drive of the driving part 2. The ring crimping die 5 is detachably installed with the caliper 3.
[0044] When the ring crimping die 5 is connected to the caliper 3, a spherical connection structure is adopted, that is, a spherical groove is provided on the ring crimping die 5, and a spherical mating part is provided on the caliper 3 that mates with the spherical groove, so that the caliper 3 and the ring crimping die 5 can rotate. As Figure 2 shown, the relative positions between the caliper 3 and the ring crimping die 5 can be rotated from Figure 1 the parallel position of Figure 2 to the almost perpendicular position of
[0045] As Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the caliper 3 includes a pair of jaw arms (left jaw arm 31 and right jaw arm 32), a pair of connecting plates (front connecting plate 33 and rear connecting plate 34), and a pair of connecting pins (left connecting pin 35 and right connecting pin 36). The left jaw arm 31 and the right jaw arm 32 are symmetrically arranged, and both have a working end for cooperating with the ring pressing die 5 and a driving end for cooperating with the driving part 2. Spherical mating parts 37 are arranged at relative positions on the working end (in this embodiment, the spherical mating part 37 is a hemispherical protrusion integrally formed on the working end) for mating with the spherical grooves on the ring pressing die 5. The front connecting plate 33 and the rear connecting plate 34 are respectively placed on the front and rear sides of the pair of jaw arms to connect the middle parts of the pair of jaw arms together. Through holes are provided in the middle parts of the left jaw arm 31 and the right jaw arm 32, and a pair of through holes are also respectively provided at corresponding positions on the front connecting plate 33 and the rear connecting plate 34. The left connecting pin 35 and the right connecting pin 36 sequentially pass through the through holes on the front connecting plate 33, the left jaw arm 31 (right jaw arm 32), and the rear connecting plate 34 to connect the front connecting plate 33, the rear connecting plate 34, the left jaw arm 31, and the right jaw arm 32 together. At the same time, circlips for preventing axial movement are provided on both the front and rear sides of the left connecting pin 35 and the right connecting pin 36. The left jaw arm 31 and the right jaw arm 32 can also rotate relative to the front connecting plate 33 and the rear connecting plate 34 respectively with the left connecting pin 35 and the right connecting pin 36 as axes.
[0046] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, the driving part 2 includes a main body 21, a pair of rollers 22 respectively acting on the left jaw arm 31 and the right jaw arm 32, and a mounting seat 23. A driving mechanism is arranged in the main body 21, and the mounting seat 23 is installed at the front end of the main body 21. As Figure 7 shown in the figure, a "one"-shaped mounting groove 231 is provided in the middle of the mounting seat 23. The pair of rollers 22 are movably arranged in the mounting seat 23 and can move under the drive of the driving mechanism in the main body 21. Mounting holes 331 and 341 are provided on the front connecting plate 33 and the rear connecting plate 34 of the caliper 3. The caliper 3 is detachably installed in the "one"-shaped mounting groove 231 through a connecting member 24 passing through the mounting holes 331 and 341. The pair of rollers 22 respectively act on the inner sides of the driving ends of the left jaw arm 31 and the right jaw arm 32. Driven by the driving mechanism, the pair of rollers 22 can cause the driving ends of the two jaw arms to separate from each other, so that the working ends approach each other, driving the ring pressing die 5 to press the pressing target 1.
[0047] As Figure 6 shown in the figure, spherical mounting grooves 322 and inclined mounting grooves 323 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the middle parts of the left jaw arm 31 and the right jaw arm 32. A second steel ball 38 is arranged between the two oppositely arranged spherical mounting grooves 322, and a spring 39 is arranged between the two oppositely arranged inclined mounting grooves 323. The arrangement of the second steel ball 38 can ensure that the left jaw arm 31 and the right jaw arm 32 remain synchronized when opening and closing, and the force is more evenly distributed. The spring 39 can assist the left jaw arm 31 and the right jaw arm 32 to open and close.
[0048] The movement state of the caliper 3 is as follows: when the user squeezes from the outside of the force application ends at the tails of the left caliper arm 31 and the right caliper arm 32 with the hand, the driving ends of the left caliper arm 31 and the right caliper arm 32 approach each other to form a closed state, and the working ends of the two gradually separate; when the driving part 2 pushes outwards from the inside of the driving ends at the tails of the left caliper arm 31 and the right caliper arm 32 to form a separated state, the working ends of the two gradually approach each other.
[0049] As Figures 4-6 shown, the outer sides of the driving ends of the left caliper arm 31 and the right caliper arm 32 protrude outwards to respectively form a left force application part 311 and a right force application part 321. When the driving ends are in the closed state, as Figure 8 shown, both the left force application part 311 and the right force application part 321 protrude out of the outer periphery of the mounting seat 23. When installing the caliper 3, the user generally directly holds the left force application part 311 and the right force application part 321 with the fingers, presses the driving ends inwards to form a closed state, and setting the left force application part 311 and the right force application part 321 to protrude out of the mounting seat 23 can prevent the user's fingers from following the driving ends and extending into the "-" shaped mounting groove 231, protecting the user's hand and preventing the hand from being stuck or injured due to accidental activation.
[0050] The ring pressing die 5 is a multi-petal type ring die, which has a fixed die 51 and at least one moving die group. Each moving die group contains two moving dies 52 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixed die 51. A pressing hole 53 for the pressing target 1 to pass through is formed by enclosing between the fixed die and the moving die group. In this embodiment, mainly one group of moving die groups is taken as an example for detailed description. As Figures 9-14 shown, the two moving dies 52 are respectively placed on the left and right sides of the fixed die 51, and a pressing hole 53 for the pressing target 1 to pass through is formed by enclosing between the two moving dies 52 and the fixed die 51. Spherical grooves 54 are formed at the ends of the two moving dies 52 far away from the fixed die 51 for cooperating with the spherical mating part 37 on the caliper 3. In actual situations, there can also be two groups or even more groups of moving die groups. Each group of moving die groups is connected end to end. The first group of moving die groups at the beginning is connected to the fixed die 51, and the spherical grooves 54 are formed on the last group of moving die groups.
[0051] The spherical groove 54 cooperates with the spherical mating part 37 of the caliper 3, and a first clearance groove 541 is provided at the edge of the spherical groove 54 and convex parts 542 are located on both sides of the first clearance groove 541. As Figures 10-13 shown, a convex edge part 371 that slightly protrudes from the spherical mating part 37 is provided beside the spherical mating part 37. At the same time, corresponding to the convex parts 542, a second clearance groove 372 for avoiding the convex parts 542 is formed on the inner side (towards the caliper 3 main body side) of the spherical mating part 37. Specifically, as Figure 9As shown, the bottom of the first avoidance groove 541 is inclined and gradually lowered from the direction of the spherical groove 54 toward the side, which can increase the contact area with the side of the spherical matching part 37. The convex part 542 is higher than the bottom of the first avoidance groove 541, which can ensure the stability of the spherical matching part 37 in the rotation of the spherical groove 54 and avoid falling out of the spherical groove 54 during the rotation. The side of the edge of the spherical groove 54 close to the main part of the movable mold 52 is also concave to form an avoidance groove 543, which is arranged opposite to the first avoidance groove 541 and is used to avoid the convex edge part 371 on the outside of the spherical matching part 37. When the spherical matching part 37 is matched with the spherical groove 54, the spherical matching part 37 can rotate smoothly.
[0052] The movable mold 52 includes a movable mold pressing seat 521, a movable mold pressing flap 522, a blocking member 523, a limiting member 524, an elastic member 525 and a first steel ball 526. The movable mold pressing flap 522 is movably arranged on the side of the movable mold pressing seat 521 facing the crimping hole 53. Specifically, the movable mold pressing seat 521 is in an arc shape as a whole, one end of which is rotatably connected to the fixed mold 51, and the other end is provided with a spherical groove 54, and the inner side (the side facing the crimping hole 53) is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 5211. The side of the movable mold pressing flap 522 facing the movable mold pressing seat 521 is protrudingly formed with an arc-shaped guide slider 5221 that matches the arc-shaped guide groove 5211. The arc-shaped guide slider 5221 is inserted in the arc-shaped guide groove 5211 and can slide along the arc-shaped guide groove 5211.
[0053] The arc length of the arc-shaped guide slider 5221 is smaller than the arc length of the arc-shaped guide groove 5211, so that a vacant position is formed between the lower part of the arc-shaped guide groove 5211 and the lower end of the arc-shaped guide slider 5221, and the blocking member 523 is inserted at the end of the movable mold pressing seat 521 away from the fixed mold 51, and the blocking member 523 is arranged axially through the arc-shaped guide groove 5211, that is, the blocking member 523 is located in the vacant position, and is used to block one end of the arc-shaped guide slider 5221 to prevent the arc-shaped guide slider 5221 from falling out during the sliding process.
[0054] The arc-shaped guiding slider 5221 is also provided with a limiting notch 5222 along the arc direction. The elastic member 525 is a spring, and the spring and the first steel ball 526 are arranged in the limiting notch 5222. The limiting member 523 is inserted into the moving die pressing seat 521 and axially penetrates through the limiting notch 5222. One end of the first steel ball 526 abuts against the elastic member 525, and the other end abuts against the limiting member 524 under the elastic action of the elastic member 525. Wherein, both the limiting member 524 and the blocking member 523 are cylindrical pins. On the one hand, their settings can limit the up and down sliding of the moving die pressing flap 522. On the other hand, during disassembly, only by successively removing the limiting member 524 and the blocking member 523, the moving die pressing flap 522 and the moving die pressing seat 521 can be disassembled, which is very convenient and fast. In addition, the limiting member 524 and the blocking member 523 can also finely adjust the position of the moving die pressing flap 522 to make it reach the best crimping state.
[0055] The moving die pressing seat 521 and the moving die pressing flap 522 are also provided with corresponding inspection markings 55. When the inspection markings 55 on the moving die pressing seat 521 and the moving die pressing flap 522 are aligned with each other, it is the initial position. If during long-term use, the inspection markings 55 on the moving die pressing seat 521 and the moving die pressing flap 522 deviate (for example, dust and impurities accumulate between the moving die pressing flap 522 and the moving die pressing seat 521, resulting in the deviation of their positions), it can prompt the user that there is a deviation at this position, which will affect the crimping effect. At this time, the limiting member 524 and the blocking member 523 can be disassembled, and then the moving die pressing flap 522 can be disassembled for cleaning and then reassembled until the inspection markings 55 on the moving die pressing seat 521 and the moving die pressing flap 522 are adjusted to the aligned position. The inspection markings 55 are convenient for users to judge whether the moving die can be used normally.
[0056] As Figure 13 As shown, the bottom of the arc-shaped guiding chute 5211 protrudes to one side to form a limiting groove 5212, and the outer end of the arc-shaped guiding slider 5221 protrudes to one side to form a limiting convex edge 5223 that is embedded in the limiting groove 5212, so that the connection between the arc-shaped guiding chute 5211 and the arc-shaped guiding slider 5221 forms a mutually buckled form, strengthening the connection stability. In addition, this mutually buckled form can also make the arc-shaped guiding chute 5211 a shallow groove, without the need to be opened too deep, reducing the processing difficulty while making the structure lightweight.
[0057] As Figure 11As shown in the figure, the fixed mold 51 includes a fixed mold pressing seat 511 and a fixed mold pressing flap 512 which are integrally arranged. One movable mold pressing seat 521 is rotatably connected to each end of the fixed mold pressing seat 511. An installation hole 5213 is formed on the side of the movable mold pressing seat 521 facing the fixed mold pressing seat 511. An auxiliary mold closing structure is provided in the installation hole. The auxiliary mold closing structure has a ejector rod spring 571 and an ejector rod 572. One end of the ejector rod spring 571 extends into the installation hole 5213, and the other end is sleeved on the ejector rod 572. The ejector rod 572 is nested at the other end of the ejector rod spring 571 and has a top head that protrudes radially from the ejector rod spring 571. The top head abuts against the fixed mold pressing seat.
[0058] As Figures 9-14 shown, a pair of inserting plates 513 are respectively formed at both ends of the fixed mold pressing seat 511. A pair of slots 527 for inserting the inserting plates 513 are respectively formed on the side of the movable mold pressing seats 521 located at both ends of the fixed mold pressing seat 511 facing the fixed mold pressing seat 511. The auxiliary mold closing structure is installed in one of the slots 513, and the auxiliary mold closing structures located at both ends of the fixed mold pressing seat 511 are arranged staggeredly. Specifically, as Figure 14 shown, a pair of inserting plates 513 are arranged vertically and have a gap in the middle. Correspondingly, three inserting plates are formed on the side of the movable mold pressing seat 521 facing the fixed mold pressing seat 511. Two slots 527 are formed between the three inserting plates. The middle inserting plate on the movable mold pressing seat 521 is inserted into the gap between the pair of inserting plates 513 of the fixed mold pressing seat 511. The pair of inserting plates 513 are respectively inserted into the two slots 527, and then the fixed mold pressing seat 511 and the movable mold pressing seat 521 are connected by passing a cylindrical hinge pin 58 through the five inserting plates in sequence. Circlips for restricting the radial movement of the cylindrical hinge pin 58 are respectively provided at both ends of the cylindrical hinge pin 58.
[0059] The movable mold pressing seat 521 can rotate relative to the fixed mold pressing seat 511 with the cylindrical hinge pin 58 as the axis. A limiting component 59 for restricting the rotation angle of the movable mold pressing seat 521 is further provided at the rotating end of the fixed mold pressing seat 511 and the movable mold pressing seat 521. As Figure 12 shown, the limiting component includes a cylindrical positioning pin 591 inserted on the inserting plates 513 at both ends of the fixed mold pressing seat 511, and a limiting inserting plate 528 formed between a pair of slots 527 of the movable mold pressing seat 521. A limiting protrusion 592 matched with the cylindrical positioning pin 591 is provided at the outer end of the limiting inserting plate. An arc-shaped edge that can be attached to the circumferential surface of the cylindrical positioning pin 591 is formed on the side of the limiting protrusion 592 facing the cylindrical positioning pin 591.
[0060] The fixed die pressing flap 512 and the movable die pressing flaps 522 located on both sides thereof are combined to form a die flap that contacts and presses the pressing target 1. In the initial state, as shown in the figure, there is a gap between the fixed die pressing flap 512 and the movable die pressing flaps 522 located on both sides thereof. After the ring pressing die 5 is subjected to the force of the caliper 3, the lower ends of the two movable die pressing flaps 522 close, and will gradually move toward the side where the fixed die pressing flap 512 is located, so that the gap gradually closes. When the fixed die pressing flap 512 abuts against the movable die pressing flaps 522 located on both sides thereof, and the bottoms of the two movable die pressing flaps 522 also abut against each other, the pressing process can be completed.
[0061] Notches 5224 are provided at one ends of the two movable die pressing flaps 522 close to the fixed die pressing flap 512. A dirt storage groove 56 is formed between the notches 5224 and the end of the fixed die pressing flap 512. Even when the position where the movable die pressing flap 522 abuts against the fixed die pressing flap 512 is reached, the dirt storage groove 56 still exists. Since the working scenario of pipe pressing is usually at the construction site, the pipe is prone to be contaminated with dust and impurities. During the pressing process, the dust and impurities on the pipe can enter the dirt storage groove 56 along the edge of the pressing hole 53, and then fall off during the opening process of the movable die 52 after the subsequent pressing is completed, so as to prevent the dust and impurities from accumulating in the pressing hole 53 and affecting the pipe pressing effect.
[0062] Working principle of the ring pressing die in this embodiment:
[0063] Open the ring pressing die 5 and clamp it on the outer periphery of the pressing target 1. Install the caliper 3 on the mounting seat 23 at the front end of the main body 21, and then fit the spherical mating part 37 on the caliper 3 to the spherical grooves 54 on the two movable dies of the ring pressing die 5. Start the driving part 2, and the roller 22 acts on the two clamping arms of the caliper 3, prompting the front ends of the two clamping arms to gradually approach. Under the action of the clamping arms, the two movable dies also gradually approach, and the movable die pressing flaps 522 gradually move toward the fixed die pressing flap 512 until the lower ends of the two movable die pressing flaps 522 abut against each other and the upper ends respectively abut against the fixed die pressing flap 512, completing the pressing of the pressing target 1.
[0064] Among them, when the caliper 3 is fitted to the ring pressing die 5, since the spherical mating between the two can be adjusted according to the actual working environment, so as to adapt to different application scenarios.
[0065] Functions and effects of the embodiment:
[0066] The crimping mechanism and the connecting tool for the connecting tool according to the above embodiments. Since the moving die of the ring crimping die 5 is provided with a spherical groove, and the caliper 3 has a spherical mating portion 37 that cooperates with the spherical groove, the caliper 3 and the ring crimping die 5 adopt a spherical contact fit when connected. During operation, the caliper 3 and the ring crimping die 5 can rotate relative to each other, forming more angles, realizing "universal crimping", so as to adapt to different working environments, especially in some relatively narrow construction environments such as pipe wells and wall holes.
[0067] Furthermore, the ring crimping die 5 of the above embodiments is a ring die structure composed of three or more die petals, and the moving die adopts a guiding slideway design, with a spring return device arranged in the middle to ensure uniform shrinkage of the die petals during the crimping process and good centering of the pipe fittings after being crimped.
[0068] Furthermore, a first clearance groove 541 is provided at the edge of the spherical groove 54, and convex portions 542 are arranged on both sides of the first clearance groove 541. A second clearance groove for avoiding the convex portions 542 is opened on one side of the spherical mating portion 37, so that the caliper 3 and the ring crimping die 5 will not interfere with each other during the connection process, solving the interference problem during crimping at any angle, making the connection and rotation smoother, and at the same time ensuring the strength of the snap-in ball socket and achieving the purpose of structural lightweight.
[0069] Furthermore, a pin hinge design is adopted between the fixed die 51 and the moving die 52 of the ring die, and a limiting component is also arranged at the connection between the two, which can limit the excessive rotation angle of the two moving die petals 522 to prevent unilateral extrusion of the two moving die petals 522 when the wall thickness of the pipe fitting is uneven, resulting in poor crimping effect.
[0070] Furthermore, a dirt storage groove is provided on the ring crimping die 5, which can reduce the risk of mud and sand at the construction site and prevent the shrinkable heat-shrinkable film from being squeezed and unable to close the die.
[0071] Furthermore, the ring crimping die 5 adopts a lightweight multi-petal ring die structure design, and the lightweight design of the shallow arc-shaped guiding slide groove on the moving die seat 521 is convenient for processing. In addition, using a shallow guide slideway to guide both ends is more compact.
[0072] Furthermore, there are inspection markings on the ring crimping die 5 in the non-crimping state, which is convenient for users to check whether the die petals are flexible in the initial state before construction operations.
[0073] Furthermore, the ring crimping die 5 has a snap-in anti-slip design to avoid falling off from the pipe fitting and causing injury. For example, the ring crimping die 5 is designed with an auxiliary die closing structure formed by a push rod spring and a push rod, and combined with the above-mentioned limiting component. When the ring crimping die 5 is snapped onto the crimping target 1 or after the crimping is completed, under the action of this auxiliary die closing structure and the limiting component, the ring die can be prevented from falling off from the pipe fitting, so as not to cause harm to the user.
[0074] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the specific implementation manners of the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the description scope of the above embodiments.
