Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present invention generally relates to a kind of crimping tool for pipe coupling, and more particularly, relates to a kind of universal crimping tool equipped with interchanged and interactive jaws for tightening resilient rings on to the pipe ends with a leak-proof manner and comparatively enhanced power.

2. Description of Related Arts

PEX and PAP pipes are widely applied to supply water, oil and gas, the diameters of the pipes generally are produced with elongated shape and categorized into standard sizes, such as ⅜-inch, ½-inch, ⅝-inch, ¾-inch and 1-inch. In most cases, a plurality of pipes would be coupled to form a variety of manifolds. Therefore, the pipes have to be cut into different sectional parts and then assembled together by metal insert fittings. Presently, metal insert fittings and tee fittings are most common parts in the market. A regular procedure for coupling PEX or PAP pipes is respectively inserting the ends of the pipe into corresponding openings of the pipe fittings for assembling the manifold or extended pipe. The immediate following step is providing a couple of resilient rings onto the coupling portion of the pipe fittings and rigidly crimping such resilient rings so as to deform such resilient rings for securing the coupling portion of the pipe fittings.

A conventional crimping tool generally comprises a pair of heads, a pair of crimping jaws provided onto the heads respectively, and a pair of handles for folding the jaws. There are circular though holes formed on the protruding portion of the crimping jaws respectively so as to accommodate to a screw for fastening the jaws to the heads. Unfortunately, a big hassle for users is that different pipe coupling process would require varied crimping jaws. That is, crimping jaws would be replaced from time to time in practices. When replacing a crimping jaw, the user would not remove the crimping jaws until he had completely loosened up the screw and taken it out from the circular though-hole. Moreover, there is no adjusting unit provided with a conventional crimping tool. Meanwhile, the handles and heads are connected together by screws, and the heads interconnected with each other also by screw or pin. During the operating process, such screws or pins would more or less squeeze the screw holes under a repetitiously applied external force, which leads to an extra space left between the screws and the screw holes. As a consequence, the crimping jaws would not be easily and fittingly attached onto the heads for tightening up the sealing rings. As a result, the pipe ends would not be received within the pipe joints in a leak-proof manner. In addition, there are always no cooperative tooth provided on both of the crimping jaws, such that it can not make sure that the crimping jaws evenly exert force on the sealing rings, that is, the sealing rings can not be evenly transformed, especially the portions clung to the combine position of the two crimping jaws always produce protruding portions. As a result, the sealing rings can not tightly couple the pipes in a leak-proof manner.

On the other hand, the length of the folding handles is not designed with an adjustable length. It is imaginable that a user will be harsh condition to crimp a pipe having a larger diameter. The crimping tool is prone to be damaged if the folding handles are short. In addition, since there is no protective sleeves sleeved onto the folding handles, handling such crimping tools would be painful to user's hands.

Accordingly, in order to overcome the above drawbacks of conventional crimping tools, it is highly encouraged to develop a kind of multi-functional crimping tool equipped with replaceable crimping jaws and adjustable folding handles

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, a multi-functional crimping tool according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The multi-functional crimping tool of the preset invention is adapted for connecting pipe joints with pipes in practice, and more particularly, is adapted to tighten up the sealing rings on the sleeve portion of the pipes.

The multi-functional crimping tool has an upper portion 1, wherein the upper portion I comprises a pair of crimping heads 12, 13, namely a first crimping head 12 and a second crimping head 13, hinged with each other. Furthermore, each of the crimping heads 12, 13 has a head body, inwardly curved to form a semi-circular cavity 15, 16, and at least a capped screw 114 rotatably mounted onto a top side of the head body at a position symmetrical with respect to other crimping head, and shifted from a fastening position and a releasing position.

The multi-functional crimping tool further comprises a pair of crimping jaws 10, 11 respectively received within the semi-circular cavity 15, 16 and operatively clipped onto the crimping heads 12 and 13, wherein in the fastening position, the capped screw 114 is screwed down to secure the crimping jaws 10 and 11 attach onto the crimping heads 12□13, and in the releasing position, the capped screw 114 is loosened up allowing the crimping jaws 10, 11 transversely pulled off the crimping head 12, 13.

As shown is FIG. 2, two crimping jaws 10, 11, and two crimping heads 12, 13 are illustrated, wherein the first crimping head 12 and the second crimping head 13 are operatively connected together through a positioning shaft 14 for ensuring the two crimping head 12, 13 moving towards or away from each other. Moreover, there are two reinforcement panels 17 spanned across two crimping head 12, 13 for respectively covering the top and bottom side of the positioning shaft 14. Each of the crimping jaws 10, 11 has an inner operative portion shaped as an inverted curve for forming two jaw cavities 18, 19 As a result, whenever the two crimping head 12, 13 are folded to move towards with each other, the two jaw cavities 18, 19 are capable of forming a circular shaped cavity so as to accommodate a pipe penetrated there through. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the crimping jaws 10, 11 is adapted to be fitly received within the dies cavities 18, 19 with a conveniently removable manner.

Referring to FIG. 1 again, the multi-functional crimping tool of the present invention also comprises a pair of crimping handles 3, 4 respectively and pivotally connected with the crimping head 12, 13, and folded towards and away with each other so as to facilitate the two crimping head 12, 13 with the crimping jaws 10,11 moved towards with each to combine the two semi-circular cavities 18,19 into a circular shaped cavity for accommodating the pipes, or moved away with each other for allowing the crimping jaws 10, 11 detachably attached onto the crimping head 12, 13.

In other words, the multi-functional crimping tool of the present invention has an upper portion I consisted of a first crimping head 12 and a second crimping head 13 pivotally connected together thereto. And a pair of crimping jaws 10, 11 is respectively and replaceably attached onto the first crimping head 12 and the second crimping head 13 for a movement toward and away from each other.

The multi-functional crimping tool further comprises a pair of crimping handles 3, 4 pivotally connected with the crimping heads 12, 13 respectively, wherein the crimping handles 3, 4 respectively comprises an elongated upper arm 31, 41 pivotally connected with the crimping heads 12, 13 respectively, i.e. the first head 12 and the second head 13.A length adjusting arrangement 61 slidably engaged with the elongated arm 31, 41 respectively for adjusting a length of the crimping handle 3, 4.

Meanwhile, the multi-functional crimping tool further comprises an adjusting unit 2 operatively connected to one of the crimping handle 3, 4 for compensating a worn-error between the screws and the screw holes, wherein the adjusting unit 2 comprises a locating block 21 disposed within one of the crimping handles 3, 4, and an adjusting block 22 pivotally connected to both crimping handles 3, 4.

Referring to FIG. 2 of the drawings, it is seen that each of the crimping jaws 10, 11 is correspondingly shaped as a semi-circle body for matching with the semi-circular cavity 15, 16 of the crimping head 12, 13. It is noted that each of the crimping jaws 10, 11 has an upper flange and a lower flange rearwardly extended from the semi-circle body for defining a semi-circle shaped channel. Therefore, the inner operative portion of the crimping head 12, 13 is capable of being pushed into the semi-circle shaped channel in practices.

According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper flanges of the crimping jaws 10, 11 further has a positioning notch 101 defined thereon for inserting the screws 114. Each of the positioning notches 101 is defined with a T-shaped cross section, wherein the upper portion of the positioning notches 101 is functioned as a recessed terrace 102 for perching a screw cap. Accordingly, the upper recessed terrace 102 is interactive for matching the common screw nut-cap. That is, whenever the semi-circular shaped crimping jaws 10, 11, each of which having an upper flange and a lower flange, is clipped onto the crimping head 12, 13, the upper flange of the crimping jaws 10, 11, would be biasing onto the top surface of the crimping head 12, 13. The preformed notch 101 would leave a T-shaped channel on the crimping jaws 10, 11 for penetrating a capped screw 114 into the crimping heads 12, 13. Due to the fact that the recessed terrace 102 is hex-shaped, the screw 114 will be blocked from transversely slipped out from positioning notch 101.

In other words, the capped screw 114 is permanently provided onto the crimping head 12, 13, and the crimping jaws 10,11 of the present invention is provided with a positioning notch 101 for clicking onto the capped screw 114. In the fastening position, the screw cap of the screw 114 is screwed down perching onto the recessed terrace 102, it is impossible to pull off the crimping jaws 10, 11. Otherwise, the crimping jaws 10, 11 are capable of transversely slipped out from the crimping head 12, 13.

Compared with conventional design, the structure of the present invention would save the attaching/detaching time of the crimping jaws 10, 11. In the present invention, the user is no more required to completely remove the screw 114 from the crimping heads 12, 13. Instead, he or she can merely loosen up the screw 114 a little bit enabling the screw cap of the screw 114 disengaged with the recess terrace 102 first, and then transversely pull the crimping jaws 10, 11 from the crimping head body for necessary replacement. Meanwhile, the capped screw 114 is still attached onto the crimping head 12, 13. Accordingly, whenever a user is willing to attach a new crimping jaws, he or she just needs to align the notch 101 of the crimping jaws 10, 11 with the screw 114 first, and then push the crimping jaws 10, 11 to completely clip onto the crimping head 12, 13, and finally tighten up the screw 114 until the screw cap well received within the recess terrace 102.

In addition, there is a plurality of engaging teeth 103 provided on both of the crimping jaws 10, 11, wherein the engaging teeth 103 can be defined as a notch spacedly and evenly formed along the front protruded portions of the crimping jaws 10, 11. The engaging teeth 103 provided on the crimpling jaws 10, 11 are evenly staggered, that is, one engaging tooth is tightly engaged with a notch. Depending on such engaging tooth 103, the crimping jaws 10, 11 can be tightly engaged with each other in a biting manner. Therefore, the crimping jaws 10, 11 can evenly exert force on the sealing ring to couple the pipes in a leak-proof manner. Moreover, because the sealing rings are evenly transformed, it makes the pipe couplings look good.

It is noted that a pair of holes 115 are respectively provided on the top surface of the crimping head 12, 13 for receiving the capped screws 114. Also, the size of the recessed terrace 102 of the notch 101 is slightly larger than the dimension of the screw cap of the screw 114, such that the screw caps of the screws 114 can tightly press onto the recessed terrace 102.

In addition, each of the first and second crimping head 12, 13 respectively has a screw hole 116 on the lower portion thereof for pivotally coupling the crimping handles 3, 4.

Referring to FIG. 4 of the drawings, two crimping handles 3, 4 are pivotally connected through a screw. The crimping handles 3, 4 comprises an elongated upper arm 31, 41 respectively, and a lower sleeves 32, 42 slidably engaged with the upper arm 31, 41 respectively for selectively managing a length of the crimping handles 3, 4. It is noted that the upper arm 31, 41 are respectively and pivotally connected with the first and second crimping head 12, 13.

Referring to FIG. 5 of the drawings, the upper arms 31, 41 are prepared with an elongated shaped body having two longitudinal ridges 340 inwardly tucked at a lower portion of the upper arms 31, 41 to form an elongated guiding channel 317. The guiding channel 317 is adapted for guiding the lower sleeves 32, 42 being inserted into the upper arm 31, 41.What is more, the two longitudinal ridges 340 of the upper arm 31, 41 further have a plurality of positioning slots 318 spacedly and evenly defined on both edges of the elongated guiding channel 317 with a predetermined interval so as to form a plurality of positioning slots 318.

As shown in FIG. 6, the crimping handles 3, 4 of the present invention further comprise a length adjusting arrangement 61 provided within the lower sleeves 32, 42 respectively for selectively adjusting the length of the crimping handle 3, 4.

As shown in FIG. 7, the lower sleeves 32, 42 are shaped in compliance with that of the upper arms 31, 41, wherein each of the lower sleeves 32, 42 has an opening at one end for fittingly being inserted into the lower portion of the upper arms 31, 41 respectively. Each of the lower sleeves 32, 42 further comprises a protruding snob 319 projected from the lower sleeves 32, 42 body respectively for accommodating to and positioning the length adjusting arrangement 61.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7 of the drawings, the length adjusting arrangement 61 comprises an adjusting button 610 having a push end 6102 provided onto the protruding snob 319, and a resilient end biasing against the inner wall of the lower sleeves 32, 42. It is noted that such adjusting button 610 is transversely crossed into the inner cavity of lower sleeves 32, 42 through the adjusting snob 319. The adjusting button 610 further comprises a positioning valve 6101 provided on its shaft at a predetermined position. The length adjusting arrangement 61 is operated with such a manner that when the push end of the adjusting button 610 is depressed, the positioning valve 6101 will be lower to a position below the edge guiding channel 317 of the upper arms 31, 41so as to allow the lower sleeves 32, 42freely slide with respect to the upper arms 31, 41 until the adjusting button 610 meet the next positioning slot 318 of the guiding channel 317.

In order to fasten the adjusting button 610 to the upper arms 31, 41, the guiding channel 317 should be slightly larger than the diameter of the adjusting button 610, such that the adjusting button 610 can be inserted into the guiding channel 317. While the positioning slots 318 should be slightly larger than the size of the positioning valve 6101 adjusting button 320 in such manner the positioning valve 6101 could be smoothly slide into the positioning slots 318.

Referring to FIG. 4 of the drawings again, the crimping handles 3, 4 further comprises a pair of protection sleeves 33, 43 coupled with the lower sleeves 32, 42 respectively, not only for extending the crimping handles 3, 4, but also for adding a protective layer so as to ease users' hands.

Accordingly, the installation of the adjusting arrangement 61 generally comprises several steps. Firstly, the lower sleeves 32, 42 are inserted into the protection sleeves 33, 43 respectively, wherein the protruding snob 319 having a through hole therein matched with the corresponding opening formed on the protection sleeves 33, 43. Secondly, the adjusting buttons 610 equipped with the resilient means 710 are mounted onto the lower sleeves 32, 42 respectively through the protruding snob 319.

Thirdly, the stem of the adjusting button 610 is slidably inserted into the guiding channel 317. In addition, the positioning valve 6101 of the adjusting button 610 will automatically slides into the positioning slot 318 depending on the force exerted by the resilient means 710. When the crimping tool is adapted for dealing with certain pipe couplings with varied diameter, the user is able to extend out the crimping handle 3, 4 or draw back the crimping handles 3, 4 to achieve an optimized force torque.

Referring to FIG. 8 of the drawings, it is a sectional view of the assembled adjustable handles 3, 4, wherein the adjusting arrangement 61 have been installed to the lower sleeves 32, 42 according to the above-mentioned installation steps.

Referring to FIG. 9 of the drawings, it is a perspective view of the assembled adjustable handles 3, 4, wherein the adjusting arrangement 61 have been installed to the lower sleeves 32, 42 according to the above-mentioned installation steps.

According to the following steps, the user can adjust the length of the adjustable handles 3, 4. Firstly, press the adjusting button 610 until the positioning valve 6101 of the adjusting button 610 disengaged from the positioning slot 318; Secondly, longitudinally shift the protection sleeves 33, 43 with respect to the upper arms 31, 41 until a desired length of the adjustable handles 3, 4 is achieved.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 10 of the drawings, the adjusting unit 2 comprises a locating block 21 and an adjusting block 22. As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of through holes 313 is provided on the upper portion of the upper arm 31. In this embodiment, there are three through holes 313 provided at the outer side of the upper arm 31. The locating block 21 is disposed within the inner side channel of the upper arm 31 by the means of inserting a fastening screw into the middle screw hole 313 to engage with the locating block 21. In addition, the adjusting unit 2 further comprises an adjustment screw 211 and a fine adjustment screw 212 which are engaged with the locating block 21 for adjusting the location of the adjusting block 22, wherein the adjustment screw 211 and fine adjustment screw 212 pass through the corresponding through holes 313 and the locating block 21 respectively until they are against the adjusting block 22. There are at least two connecting holes 221, 222 formed on the adjusting block 22, while the upper end of the upper arm 31 has two sets of connecting holes 311, 312, and the upper end of the upper arm 41 has two sets of connecting holes 411, 412.The connecting hole 312 and the connecting hole 412 are different in size. The adjusting block 22 is connected with the upper arms 31, 41 by screws, that is, the screw first passing through the connecting hole 412, then being inserted into the connecting hole 221, finally passing through the connecting hole 312 in such manner the adjusting block 22, upper arms 31, 41 are operatively connected together. Moreover, insert another screw into the connecting hole 222 to fasten the other end of the adjusting block 22 to the inner side channel of the upper arm 31. Because the screw or pin will squeeze the connecting holes, such as connecting holes 311, 312, after such situation lasting for a period of time, the circular screw holes 311, 312, will be transformed into elliptical screw holes, or the like, which leads to an extra space left between the screws and the screw holes. As a consequence, the crimping jaws would not be easily and fittingly attached onto the heads for tightening up the sealing rings. As a result, the pipe ends would not be received within the pipe joints in a leak-proof manner. Therefore, we should adjust the adjustment screw 211 and fine adjustment screw 212 to assure the adjusting block 22 placed at another new position to compensate the worn-error exists between the crimping jaws 10, 11.

Referring to FIG. 1 of the drawings, the upper arms 31, 41 are pivotally connected to the heads 12, 13 respectively through screws being inserted into the screw holes 311, 411.

Moreover, there is at least one small recess 1110 painted with different color for identifying the specification of different crimping jaws disposed on the crimpling jaws 10, 11. The color of the small recess 1110 can be several types, such as red, blue, different color stands for different specification, such that the user can easily recognize the specification of crimping jaws.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 11, the upper arms 31, 41 can be manufactured by die-casting and punching, wherein the upper arms 31, 41 shown in the FIG. 1 manufactured by die-casting, while the upper arms 31, 41 shown in the FIG. 10 manufactured by punching.

One skilled in the art will understand that the embodiment of the present invention as shown in the drawings and described above is exemplary only and not intended to be limiting.

It will thus be seen that the objects of the present invention have been fully and effectively accomplished. It embodiments have been shown and described for the purposes of illustrating the functional and structural principles of the present invention and is subject to change without departure from such principles.
