Description
- The invention under consideration concerns a driving device for the driving of fasteners, such as nails, rivets, pins, braces, clamps, or other, preferably, pin-like fastening elements. Furthermore, the invention concerns a controlling method for a driving device.
- The driving device, in accordance with the invention, has a ram, which drives in the fastener, driven by compressed air. A pump device produces the compressed air. The pump device has a pump cylinder, a pump piston, and an annular magnet arrangement around the pump cylinder. The pump piston can move in the pump cylinder, along an axis. An axial closure of the pump cylinder closes off, with the pump piston, a pump volume within the pump cylinder. The annular magnet arrangement has a magnetic coil, which encloses the pump cylinder and which, along the axis, overlaps, at least in part, with the magnetizable closure, and in part, with the magnetizable pump piston.
- The pump cylinder, with its half side closed by the closure, forms, together with the pump piston, a linear piston stroke pump. The drive of the piston stroke pump is carried out by the magnetic coil, which can draw the magnetizable pump piston into the center of the magnetic coil and thereby can compress the air in the pump volume.
- The arrangement of the closure within the magnet arrangement, preferably, within the magnetic coil, has proved to be efficient for the compression of the air. The necessary force for the compression of the air rises more or less inversely to the diminishing distance between the pump piston and the closure. As a result of the arrangement of the magnetizable closure within the magnet arrangement, the force exerted by the magnetic coil on the pump piston is also increased more or less inversely to the distance between the closure and the pump piston. The energy can be transferred optimally by the magnetic coil onto the volume work of the pump volume via the entire movement of the pump piston.
- The closure and the pump piston are preferably formed from a soft magnetic material. As soon as the magnetic coil is not energized, the closure and the pump piston are largely unpolarized and are depolarized by the surrounding stray fields. Without the magnetic coil, the closure and the pump piston are not attracted to each other.
- One development provides for the closure to overlap with at least 10% of the magnet arrangement, preferably, the magnetic coil, along the axis. The pump piston preferably overlaps, in each position, for at least 10% with the magnet arrangement, preferably, the magnetic coil, along the axis.
- One development provides for a pressure chamber to have intermediate storage for the compressed air produced by the pump device. The pump device does not drive the ram directly. A volume of the pressure chamber is dimensioned to hold an air quantity for one driving operation or for fewer than five driving operations. An air quantity held by the pump volume is advantageously less than the air quantity provided for one driving operation. The pump piston requires several strokes, until an air quantity needed for the driving operation is made available.
- One development provides for the ram to be rigidly connected with a driving piston, the driving piston to close off a working volume within a hollow guide cylinder, and for it to be possible to feed the compressed air into the working volume. The compressed air, which is produced by the pump device and held, in the interim, in the pressure chamber, accelerates the driving piston in the guide cylinder. The ram is carried along by the driving piston and drives in the nail or another fastening means.
- A controlling method for the driving device has the following steps: generation of the compressed air, in that a current pulse is fed into a magnetic coil, and the magnetic field produced moves a magnetizable pump piston within the magnetic coil in a pump cylinder, and acceleration of a ram with the compressed air onto a fastener arranged in the driving direction. The driving device converts electrical energy into a magnetic field, into a compression of air, and subsequently, into the kinetic energy of the ram. The conversion of the energy from the magnetic field into compression is particularly efficient using the pump piston, conducted within the magnetic coil.
- A development provides fir a pressure chamber to be loaded with the compressed air and, as a response to an actuation of an operating element by the user, for the ram to be accelerated with the compressed air from the pressure chamber. The loading of the pressure chamber is carried out by energizing the magnetic coil with a sequence of current pulses for the multiple back and forth movement of the pump piston. One single stroke to make available the air quantity for the driving operation has the obvious advantage that the additional pressure chamber and an intermediate storage of the compressed air are omitted. The driving device is lighter and has fewer loss channels. The multiple stroke has nevertheless proved to be more efficient, since the pump device works in an especially efficient manner, in particular with a short stroke, and thus the disadvantages of the additional pressure chamber are more than compensated for.
- An amplitude and/or a duration of the current pulses can increase within one sequence. The pump device does more volume work, in particular by attaining a higher pressure, with increasing air quantity in the pressure chamber per stroke, so as to further load the pressure chamber.

-
FIG. 1 , a driving device -
FIG. 2 , a pump device of the driving device -
FIG. 3 , a succession of switching sequences -
FIG. 4 , a section of the driving device - The same or functionally similar elements are shown with the same reference symbols in the figures, unless otherwise indicated.
-
FIG. 1 shows anexemplary driving device 1 fornails 2 or similar pin-like fastening elements. Thedriving device 1 has a compressed air-drivenram 3, which drives thenail 2 into a workpiece. The compressed air for one driving operation is kept in thepressure chamber 4. Apump device 5 in thedriving device 1 loads thepressure chamber 4 with an air quantity sufficient for the driving operation and to the needed pressure level. - The components of the
driving device 1 that are essential for the functionality are located within ahousing 6, in particular, theram 3, thepressure chamber 4, and thepump device 5. The user can conduct thedriving device 1 with ahandle 7 and can hold it while driving thenails 2. Thehandle 7 is not detachably connected with ahousing 6 of thedriving device 1, but it is rigidly connected or with dampening elements. Thedriving device 1 is primarily supplied with electrical energy, for example, by means of abattery packet 8, which can be affixed, in a nondetachable or preferably in a detachable manner, to thehandle 7 or thehousing 6, by the user. A triggeringswitch 9 is on or near thehandle 7; it triggers a driving operation upon actuation by the user. Preferably, in addition to the actuation of the triggeringswitch 9, there is also the release of a safety mechanism, for example, by pressing the driving device to a wall. - The
ram 3 has animpact head 10, which is adapted, in its form, to thenails 2 used. Theimpact head 10 has typically, approximately, the same diameter as a head of thenails 2. Theimpact head 10 is conducted along awork axis 11 within anail guide 12. Thenail 2 is placed, for the driving operation, into an essentiallytubular nail holder 12. The placing of the nail can be done manually by the user, semiautomatically or automatically, by a feeder. Theimpact head 10 strikes thenail 2 within thenail guide 12 and drives thenail 2 in thedriving direction 13, along thework axis 11 from thenail guide 12, perhaps into a workpiece. - On its back end, turned away from the nail, the
ram 3 is provided with adriving piston 14. Thedriving piston 14 preferably has an essentially larger diameter than theimpact head 10, so as to drive theram 3 efficiently with the compressed air. - The
driving piston 14 is inserted into aguide cylinder 15, closed on half its side. Thedriving piston 14 lies, all-round, on theinner jacket surface 16 of theguide cylinder 15, pressure-tight, and is conducted by the jacket surface along thework axis 11. An end of theguide cylinder 15, turned away from thenail 2, is closed by a bottom 17. Thedriving piston 14 thus closes off apneumatic work volume 18 in the drivingdirection 13 within theguide cylinder 15. - The
pressure chamber 4 is connected with thework volume 18 via a controllable supply line 19. The supplying through the supply line 19 is preferably carried out via an opening in the bottom 17. The supply line 19 comprises a switchable valve 20, which is opened as a response to an actuation of the triggeringswitch 9. - The
pressure chamber 4 has a sufficient volume, so as to store an air quantity for preferably precisely one driving operation. The volume is, for example, in the range of 100 cm3 to 300 cm3. With a fully loadedpressure chamber 4 for one driving operation, the pressure is between 7 bar and 10 bar. Thepressure chamber 4 is surrounded with a thermally insulating jacket 21, which, for example, a wall of thepressure chamber 4 lines on the inside or is placed on the outside surface. The jacket 21 is, for example, made of a plastic, preferably, of a foamed plastic. - The pump device 5 (
FIG. 2 ) fills thepressure chamber 4 with air, until the air quantity needed for the driving operation and/or the pressure needed for the driving operation are attained. Thepump device 5 has a linearly movedpump piston 22. In the embodiment shown, thepump piston 22 is conducted along thework axis 11; thepump piston 22, however, can also be conducted along anotheraxis 11. Thepump piston 22 moves within ahollow pump cylinder 23. The cross section of thepump piston 22 and the inside cross section of thepump cylinder 23 fit exactly, so as to guarantee a pressure-tight closure. Sealing rings on thepump piston 22 can reconcile tolerances in production. Opposite a front surface 24 of thepump piston 22, thepump cylinder 23 is closed by astationary closure 25. The front surface 24 of thepump piston 22 and the front surface 26 of theclosure 25, facing it, enclose air in apump volume 27. - The
pump piston 22 is moved by amagnetic coil 28 along theaxis 11. Themagnetic coil 28 is located around thepump cylinder 23; preferably, themagnetic coil 28 is coaxial to theaxis 11 of thepump cylinder 23. The drive is based on reluctance forces which act on thepump piston 22. Thepump piston 22 is made of a magnetic, preferably, ferromagnetic material. The magnetic field produced by themagnetic coil 28 in thepump cylinder 23 pulls thepump piston 22 into thepump cylinder 23. - The
pump piston 22 is made of a soft magnetic material, whose coercive field strength is less than 1000 A/m. A weak external magnetic field can already change or cancel an existing polarization in thepump piston 22. The magnetic polarization impressed by themagnetic coil 28 therefore essentially remains contained in thepump piston 22 only for the duration of the field applied by themagnetic coil 28. Thepump piston 22 is, for example, made of ferromagnetic steel, preferably, a soft-annealed steel. - The
closure 25 is made of a soft magnetic material, for example, the same material as thepump piston 22. The magnetic field produced by themagnetic coil 28 is introduced by theclosure 25 into thepump cylinder 23. The magnetic field fins between the front surface 24 of thepump piston 22 and the front surface 26 of theclosure 25, parallel to theaxis 11. Theclosure 25 projects along theaxis 11 into themagnetic coil 28. A front end section 29 of themagnetic coil 28 thus overlaps with theclosure 25. The front end section 29 assumes at least 10% of themagnetic coil 28. A length 30 of the front end section 29 preferably is between 10% and 30% of the length 31 of themagnetic coil 28. Thepump piston 22 never comes out completely from themagnetic coil 28. In the basic position of thepump piston 22—that is, in its position moved out the furthest from thepump cylinder 23—thepump piston 22 overlaps with aback end section 32 of themagnetic coil 28. Theback end section 32 has alength 33 of at least 10% of the length 31 of themagnetic coil 28, preferably, up to 20% of the length 31 of themagnetic coil 28. Thepump volume 27 is completely within themagnetic coil 28, with alength 34 of at most 80% of themagnetic coil 28. - The
pump volume 27 is clearly smaller than the volume of thepressure chamber 4. For example, thepump volume 27 contains less than 20%, preferably, between 5% and 10% of the air quantity needed for a driving operation. The efficiency of thepump device 5 rises greatly, in a nonlinear manner, with increasing approximation of thepump piston 22 to theclosure 25. The efficiency of the total system of thedriving device 1 is increased by thesmall pump volume 27, instead of a pump volume in the order of magnitude of thepressure chamber 4, in spite of the additional expense of making available thepressure chamber 4 and the losses resulting from thepressure chamber 4. - The
pump device 5 is controlled by acontrol device 35. Thecontrol device 35 loads thepressure chamber 4 upon the start of the operation or after a driving operation. The loading is carried out by asequence 36 ofcurrent pulses 37, which are fed into the magnetic coil 28 (FIG. 3 ). With each of thecurrent pulses 37, thepump piston 22 is drawn from its basic position into themagnetic coil 28 and compresses the air in thepump volume 27. A large part of the compressed air flows into thepressure chamber 4. A spring 39 and/or an additional magnetic coil 40 can draw out thepump piston 22 from thepump cylinder 23 into the basic position. Thepump volume 27 is ventilated before the nextcurrent pulse 37. For example, thepump piston 22 releases a ventilatingchannel 41, as soon as thepump piston 22 is moved back to the basic position. Preferably, the ventilatingchannel 41 is opened, as soon as thepump piston 22 begins its backward movement. A position sensor can determine whether thepump piston 22 has reached the basic position. - The
sequence 36 preferably comprises at least 5current pulses 37, preferably, at most 30current pulses 37. Thepressure chamber 4 is completely pumped by thepump device 5, corresponding to 5 to 30 strokes. The introduction of energy of thecurrent pulses 37 increases during thesequence 36; preferably, theduration 42 of thecurrent pulses 37 is increased; alternatively or additionally, the amplitude 43 of thecurrent pulses 37 can be increased. Theduration 42 and the current strength/amplitude 43 can be definitively prespecified. Thecurrent pulses 37 are coordinated in such a way that thepump piston 22 is drawn from its basic position to theclosure 25, preferably without touching theclosure 25 at the end. The force exerted by the magnetic coil 40 on thepump piston 22 rises with the selected buildup during its movement to theclosure 25. The characteristic curve of this increase is similar to the characteristic curve of the increase of the counterforce being built up by the compressed air. The current strength 43 can be maintained constant during acurrent pulse 37. - The
closure 25 is provided with anoutlet valve 44, for example, a nonreturn valve. Theoutlet valve 44 preferably opens as soon as the pressure in thepump volume 27 exceeds the pressure in thepressure chamber 4. Thepump device 5 increases the pressure within the pump volume only slightly above the pressure in thepressure chamber 4, so as to shift the air quantity from thepump volume 27 into thepressure chamber 4. The thermal losses appearing during the compression can be kept small in this way. Theoutlet valve 44 closes as soon as thepump piston 22 moves back to the basic position. - The user can actuate the triggering
switch 9, so as to trigger the driving operation. Thecontrol device 35 preferably first tests whether thepressure chamber 4 is loaded. If thepressure chamber 4 is not loaded, for example, after a long inactivity of thedriving device 1, thecontrol device 35 loads thepressure chamber 4. Thepressure chamber 4 is loaded with thecomplete sequence 36 of thecurrent pulses 37. Thecontrol device 35 shortens thesequence 36, if thepressure chamber 4 is partially loaded. For example, thecontrol device 35 determines, by means of a pressure sensor, the pressure in thepressure chamber 4. For each pressure, a notation is made in a control table as to how many of the firstcurrent pulses 37 of thesequence 36 are to be skipped—that is, with which of thecurrent pulses 37 of thesequence 36, one is to begin. If thepressure chamber 4 is loaded, thecontrol device 35 opens the controllable valve 20. The air quantity under pressure in thepressure chamber 4 accelerates, by means of thedriving piston 14, theram 3. After the driving operation, thedriving piston 14 is retrieved—for example, by means of a pump, a spring, a motor, the user—and the switchable valve 20 is closed. Thework volume 18 is preferably ventilated for the retrieval of thedriving piston 14. Thecontrol device 35 loads thepressure chamber 4 by means of thesequence 36 ofcurrent pulses 37. - The
magnetic coil 28 is preferably surrounded by amagnet yoke 46. Themagnet yoke 46 covers, with aring 47 in each case, the twofront sides 48 of themagnetic coil 28. Themagnet yoke 46 extends, in a radial direction, to thepump piston 22 or theclosure 25.Ribs 49 of themagnet yoke 46, running parallel to theaxis 11, connect the two rings 47. Themagnet yoke 46 is, for example, formed from individual plates of a ferromagnetic steel. - The
pump piston 22 has a shell-like structure consisting of anouter shell 50 and acore 51. The radiallyoutermost shell 50 is made of a ferromagnetic material. The magnetic field is conducted within theouter shell 50. A wall thickness of theouter shell 50 is in the range between 5% and 25% of the diameter of thepump piston 22. Acore 51 of thepump piston 22 can be hollow or it can be filled with a nonmetal material, for example, plastic. The front surface 26 is preferably a plate of steel, so that it is not deformed during the compression. Alternatively, thepump piston 22 can be a massive cylinder made of a ferromagnetic material, for example, steel. -
FIG. 4 shows a development of theguide cylinder 15 for thedriving piston 14 and thepressure chamber 4. Thepressure chamber 4 is permanently open to thework volume 18 in theguide cylinder 15. Thedriving piston 14 forms the switchable valve 20 and prevents the air in thepressure chamber 4 from flowing out, until a driving operation is triggered. Ablocking mechanism 52, for example, a ratchet element, holds thedriving piston 14 in its basic position. Theblocking mechanism 52 can be released by thecontrol device 35, whereupon thedriving piston 14, acted on by pressure, is accelerated in the drivingdirection 13.
