    [0004] Technical sector
    [0006] The present invention is related to the industry dedicated to the supply of connection elements by guide conduits by blowing or absorption, and more specifically with protection devices of the connection elements during their transport through said guide conduits, for their supply from a unit of storage to an application machine.
    [0008] State of the art
    [0010] At present, systems for supplying connecting elements such as rivets are widely known. These systems are especially relevant in the aeronautical sector where a large number of rivets must be installed, having to be installed quickly and profitably, although they can be used in any sector of the industry that requires a continuous supply of joining elements. To accelerate this process, absorption or blow delivery systems convey rivets through a guide conduit from a storage location to a head of a riveting or riveting machine. In this type of supply system, the rivet is selected and sent through the guide duct to a machine head where riveting is carried out.
    [0012] As mentioned, these rivets must be installed quickly and safely, however the tools used to handle the rivets can become dirty from contaminants or oils. As a result, the rivets can stick to the tools instead of loosening in a predictable way, or even cause jams in the supply line due to the flipping of the rivets that force a machine stop and therefore slow down the process.
    [0014] In certain situations it is necessary to apply a sealant to the joint elements to ensure the final joint. Solutions are known in which the connecting element travels through the duct guide and then sealant is applied at the time of application. This implies that it is not possible to apply the necessary sealant in the supply and consequently the head of the joining element application machine is forced to include the ability to apply the sealant. This method increases the complexity and the weight in the head, also increasing the risk of contamination by sealant in that area.
    [0016] In other embodiments, a protective capsule is used to transport the rivet to final application. An example is JP04437588 which uses a protection capsule especially suitable for short rivets whose axis is less than or close to the diameter of its head. For this purpose, it uses a capsule with a lateral opening along its entire length that allows the lateral insertion of the rivet. When inserting the rivet into the capsule, the rivet must be pressed against a retaining element which, once its force has been overcome, retains the rivet against the interior wall of the capsule. In this way, the rivet is supported axially on a flat surface with the head of the rivet and is centered inside the capsule by action of the retaining element. Furthermore, to avoid the axial exit of the rivet from the capsule, said capsule comprises an upper tab that prevents the rivet from coming out if it moves axially.
    [0018] However, this embodiment limits the use of different rivets since the lateral opening of the capsule must be of different dimensions depending on the diameter of the axis of the rivet. In addition, it does not admit, for example, shirt rivets since the head of the rivet would hit the upper tongue preventing it from being accommodated in the capsule. Additionally, the fastening of the rivet in the capsule is only lateral allowing an axial movement that can cause the rivet to hit or stick in the capsule. The insertion and extraction tasks are also made difficult since insertion is carried out laterally, which means that the radius of action of the machine must be greater. And it would not be valid for joining elements that require the application of a sealant, since the joining element is pressed laterally against the wall of the capsule and the sealant would adhere to the wall of the capsule itself.
    [0020] Another known embodiment that tries to overcome these drawbacks comprises a rivet feeding system in which the rivet is first selected and inspected and sealant is applied to it before sending it to the application head. In this case, since a sealant is applied to the rivet, the rivet needs to be protected so as not to be damaged and not to contaminate the inside of the supply tube. For this purpose it uses a capsule that covers partially the rivet, housing inside the rivet sleeve where the sealant is applied. In this way the rivet is protected from contaminants and the sealant applied to the connecting element is also protected.
    [0022] Said capsule of the state of the art is exclusively configured for shirt rivets. In this way, the capsule houses inside the rivet area where the sealant is applied, in this case the rivet sleeve. This capsule has a rivet insertion hole where the sleeve is inserted. The rivet is held in the capsule by the sleeve by bearing the head of the rivet sleeve in a recess in the top of the capsule. To ensure the rivet of its axial exit from the capsule, three flexible pieces are used attached to the capsule that prevent its exit through the upper part with tabs that remain on the head of the rivet sleeve.
    [0024] However, this configuration requires having a capsule for each different diameter of rivet since the recess is specifically configured for a fixed diameter of the head of the rivet sleeve. Likewise, it will only be valid for the type of shirt rivets, and said capsule cannot be used for other types of fastening elements such as blind rivets or temporary clamps, since they do not have the characteristic rim of the rivet sleeve for their fastening. .
    [0026] Another disadvantage of this type of capsule is that only the lower part of the rivet is housed inside from the head of the sleeve and, therefore, the head of the rivet remains outside. The risk of this configuration is that the head of the rivet rubs against the supply tube and can be tilted with respect to the sleeve. The fact that the rivet is only fixed axially and not laterally contributes to this effect, so that it can be offset or tilted during transport through the supply guide conduit and reach the defective application point. To avoid this risk, the outer diameter of the capsule must be adjusted with the inside of the tube, leaving a slight gap. In this way the capsule does not tilt and therefore the rivet does not rub against the tube. However, by leaving so little separation between the tube and the capsule, when there are small deformations in the supply tube, the capsule gets stuck due to the little free space between the tube and the capsule, causing an unwanted stop of the machine.
    [0028] In view of the disadvantages or limitations that currently exist solutions present, a solution is necessary that allows to protect the sealant of the rivet, at the same time that it avoids jams and allows a versatility for the protection and shipping of different dimensions and types of joining elements.
    [0030] Object of the invention
    [0032] In order to meet this objective and solve the technical problems discussed so far, in addition to providing additional advantages that may be derived later, the present invention provides a capsule for transporting connecting elements through a guide duct for an installation. of connection element placement, wherein the capsule is configured to hold a connection element positioned longitudinally parallel to a guide direction of the capsule, the clamping being by means of at least one pivoting clamping element and the clamping element being forced to clamp the joint element by pressing it perpendicular to the guiding direction for a variable clamping distance; and a connection element placement facility using said capsule.
    [0034] With this configuration the connecting element is fully secured in the capsule for transport through the guide conduit from a supply storage unit to an application machine, said capsule being adapted to cooperate with the guide conduit. In the preferred embodiment, the capsule being cylindrical in shape in correspondence with the guide conduit, but being equally possible with any other geometry as long as that correspondence between the capsule and the guide conduit occurs.
    [0036] To secure the connecting element in the capsule, by means of the clamping provided by the clamping element, it is pressed on the connecting element perpendicularly. This configuration makes it possible to hold the connecting element with sufficient effort to hold it both axially and radially, thus being able to position it centrally. Therefore, the connecting element is moved completely immobilized and centered ensuring that it does not shift or tilt during transport. It is also possible to maintain its axial centering, contributing to the automation of the process since it will be ready for the application machine to extract and apply it precisely.
    [0038] Furthermore, thanks to the variable clamping distance provided by the pivoting of the clamping element, said capsule has the ability to hold connecting elements of different diameters. The clamping element has an opening and closing stroke that it allows the connecting element to radially push in its compression and is adaptable to different diameters. In this way, the need to manufacture a capsule for each range of diameters is avoided, thereby obtaining a versatile capsule valid for holding connecting elements of different diameters.
    [0040] This versatility of the capsule is not only related to the possibility of housing different diameters of connecting elements, but it is possible to house different types of connecting elements inside the capsule. This is possible thanks to the fact that the clamping element presses on a point zone of the connecting element, preferably this point zone of the connecting element being a vertical line of length equal to the vertical extension of the clamping element. This point area of the connection element can be a point area of the axis of the connection element selectable between a point area of the shank of a blind rivet, a point area of the shank of a temporary clamp, a point area of the thread of a rivet of sleeve and a specific area of the thread of a screw, which can be any other joining element that has a central axis. This possibility of housing different types of connecting elements is not contemplated in the known embodiments.
    [0042] Additionally, the capsule is configured to house the joining element at least partially inside it, completely laterally surrounding the part of the joining element that it houses inside. Thus, greater protection of the connecting element is ensured by holding it inside the capsule.
    [0044] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the capsule has the pinching axis parallel to the guiding direction of the capsule. This configuration allows a great compression effort to be made, requiring a minimum space to house the clamping element inside the capsule. However, it will also be possible for the axis to be oriented according to another direction such as it can be perpendicular to the guiding direction if required, although the space required to house the clamping element would be greater.
    [0046] Preferably, according to the invention the clamping element is forced by clamping means operable from the outside perpendicular to the guiding direction to release the connecting element. With this configuration, the clamping element automatically presses on the connecting element adapting diametrically to the east. Both for its insertion and for its extraction from the capsule it is necessary to act on said tightening means. Therefore, the capsule is pressed laterally from the outside by a preferably pneumatic mechanism of a feeding machine, although it could be for example a hydraulic, electrical, magnetic or other type of system, the opening of the clamping element is thus achieved by overcoming the force exerted by a clamping means that are selectable between magnets and preloaded springs. In this way, the process is automated, accelerating it, facilitating the correct insertion of the joining element in the capsule.
    [0048] According to a preferred characteristic of the invention, the capsule comprises a plurality of clamping elements arranged with respective radially equidistant clamping axes. Preferably the number of clamping elements will be three, which, being equidistant angularly distributed, press the connecting element in a more effective way. Thus, the adjustment and centering of the connecting element in the capsule occurs automatically and more safely. In addition, with the use of three clamping elements, the use of space is maximum, achieving greater friction against the joining element and the compactness of the capsule.
    [0050] As an alternative embodiment to secure the connecting element more strongly, it is provided that optionally the capsule comprises at least two axially spaced clamping elements, and preferably three clamping elements in each corresponding point zone. In this way, the connecting element can be fastened in two specific areas of its axis when the connecting element is large and requires a greater fastening.
    [0052] According to a particular configuration of the invention, in order to provide additional axial support to the connecting element, it is provided that the clamping element comprises a projection in the lower part of the contact surface with the connecting element, said projection interacting with the end of the joining element.
    [0053] In this way, the axial clamping of the connecting element is ensured even more if possible, avoiding its movement inside the capsule by this projection that acts as a stop. This configuration is especially relevant for cases where axial forces are produced during the manipulation process of the connecting element inside the capsule that can overcome the retention force exerted by the clamping elements, and can cause a relative displacement between the clamping element. junction and capsule.
    [0055] Additionally preferably, the capsule comprises a pivoting cap perpendicular to the guiding direction, configured to cover the connecting element and being operable by means of closure. This cover covers the part of the connecting element that may be exposed, such as the head of a rivet, for example. Thus, the connecting element is fully protected from external contaminants that may be inside the guide duct. It is a convenient configuration for rivets in which sealant is applied, since it is protected from external contaminants and from the fact that said sealant can be detached, remaining on the walls of the guide conduit. Furthermore, this cover is operable by means of closing means, these being selectable between magnets and preloaded springs. These closing means are operable laterally from the outside, in this way to introduce the connecting element into the capsule, the feeding machine presses on the closing means of the upper part and then on the clamping means of the clamping elements. . The accommodation of the joining element is facilitated, which will remain subject when it ceases to act on the clamping means of the clamping element and will be fully protected when it ceases to act on the closing means of the upper part.
    [0057] A versatile capsule is achieved that ensures the fastening of the connecting element inside it by restricting its axial and radial movement, and which makes it possible to protect the connecting element from friction against the wall of the guide duct. In addition, this avoids the drawback that the rivet head rubs against the guide duct, allowing greater clearance between the inner wall of the guide duct and the capsule to solve the jams that are produced by the folds that can occur in the guide duct for its flexibility.
    [0059] In particular, the upper part of the capsule, that is to say the lid, is divided into a plurality of petals and preferably into three petals of complementary configuration. In this way, the petals complement each other in the closure, completely covering the joining element. Thus, a simple opening and closing is achieved, allowing a more compact capsule to be manufactured. It also provides an additional point of support for the longer attachment elements which will have a greater weight and therefore greater inertia that could tend to tilt the linkage causing problems when transferring it to the insertion system. This configuration also allows a simpler insertion and subtraction of the joining element, the closing means being operable from the outside perpendicular to the guiding direction by preferably pneumatic actuators although it could be, for example, a hydraulic, electrical, magnetic or other type of system. . The automation of the process is facilitated, speeding up production and reducing the costs of the process.
    [0060] According to another aspect of the invention, the capsule is configured to be aligned, with respect to a head of a joining element application machine, by means of orientation means. Thus, when the capsule is placed both in a receiving base of the feeding machine and in the application machine, the capsule is operated, leaving it aligned with respect to the receiving base so that the pneumatic actuators are aligned with the means of tightening and closing means. This alignment is preferably carried out by magnets located at the bottom of the capsule in correspondence with corresponding magnets on the capsule receiving base in the feeding and application machines. This achieves precision in the positioning of the capsule in relation to the pneumatic actuators, which facilitates the automation of the process.
    [0062] In a further embodiment it is provided that the capsule comprises a lower through opening (the lower part being the one located in the lowest part according to the guiding direction) for the housed connecting element. Thus, the passage of the connecting element is allowed when its longitudinal dimensions are greater than those of the capsule. In this way, the rivet is protected in its entirety and avoids having to manufacture special capsules for this type of rivets with a greater longitudinal dimension. What gives the capsule more versatility if possible, being able to house different types of rivets unlike the already known solutions.
    [0064] A versatile and universal capsule is thus achieved, saving on manufacturing costs and reducing the complexity of the heads of the supply and application machines, allowing the joining element to move through the guide duct safely, achieving a placement installation of rivets quickly and safely.
    [0066] According to a preferred embodiment, the capsule is used in an installation for placing connecting elements for transport, comprising; a storage unit that includes different types of joining elements; a sorting machine comprising an arm for transferring different elements of connection to the capsule; a guide conduit for transferring the capsule with the connecting element; and an application machine comprising an arm for extracting the connecting element for its placement at an application site.
    [0068] In this way, it is possible to select from a storage unit different types of joining elements for their final placement as required without the need to stop the process and replace a pick and apply head. In addition, it will not be necessary to have several capsules depending on the type or size of the connecting element. Rather, the same capsule will serve a wide range of diameters.
    [0070] Additionally, the connection element placement installation comprises preferably pneumatic actuators, although it could be, for example, a hydraulic, electrical, magnetic or other type of insertion system in the selection machine that act perpendicularly to the guiding direction for opening. of the clamping means and the capsule closing means, and extraction actuators in the application machine that act perpendicular to the guiding direction for opening the clamping means and the capsule closing means.
    [0072] With this configuration an automation of the process of positioning of elements of union is achieved, and for different types and sizes. In this way, a fast and versatile solution is achieved that speeds up the process of applying joining elements, which is very suitable in sectors such as aeronautics.

    [0094] Detailed description of the invention
    [0096] The present invention refers to a connecting element transport capsule (2) through a guide duct (3) for a connecting element placement installation (2), wherein the capsule (1) is configured to hold a connecting element (2) positioned longitudinally parallel to a guiding direction (4) of the capsule (1), the clamping being by means of at least one clamping element (5) pivoting and the clamping element (5) being forced to hold the connecting element (2) pressing it perpendicular to the guiding direction (4) for a variable clamping distance.
    [0098] Figure 11 shows the installation of the connection elements and the different stages that the connection element (2) undergoes for its transport to its final application according to a preferred embodiment. Thus, firstly, a selection machine (13) selects the connection element (2) of a storage unit (16), in the illustrated preferred example the connection element (2) corresponding to a sleeve rivet. Said connecting element (2) faces a base (not represented in the figures) of the selection machine (13). A capsule (1) is placed on said base, aligning it with respect to the base thanks to orientation means (12), in this case three magnets (figure 10) in correspondence with three magnets of the base of the selection machine (13).
    [0100] At this time a sealant is applied to the joint element (2). The above alignment is required to face closing means (11) of some petals (9) of the cap (8) of the capsule, with insertion actuators (17), preferably pneumatic, of the feeding machine (13). Said insertion actuators (17) act laterally from the outside, perpendicular to the guiding direction (4) on the closing means (11) located at the base of the petals (9) in their articulation with the capsule (1) .
    [0102] In figure 6 you can see the capsule (1) completely closed without the connecting element (2) inside. It is then that by means of the insertion actuators (17) the force exerted by the closing means (11) is overcome, these closing means (11) being able to be magnets or preloaded springs (not represented in the figures) that actuate the cover (8) to keep it closed, thus overcoming said force of the closing means (11) the opening of the cover (8) is achieved. As can be seen in figure 4, the petals (9) are opened to make way for the insertion of the joining element (2).
    [0104] However, to house the connecting element (2) in the capsule (1) it is necessary to open the clamping elements (5). These clamping elements (5) are configured to hold the connecting element (2). Each clamping element (5) has a clamping axis (6) parallel to the guiding direction (4), the clamping axis (6) may be perpendicular in an optional embodiment. In any case, the clamping element (5) by its pivoting and by the thrust caused by clamping means (10) is normally actuated and therefore closed, as can be seen in Figures 4, 6 and 7.
    [0106] To open the clamping elements (5), which will preferably be at least two and more preferably three, as in the illustrated example, the clamping means (10) are acted upon in the same way as the closing means (11). Thus, insertion actuators (17) act laterally from the outside perpendicular to the guiding direction (4) overcoming the force of the clamping means (10) which may be magnets (10) or preloaded springs. In a preferred embodiment, as can be seen in figure 7, each clamping element (5) comprises a magnet in opposition to a magnet included in the capsule (1), both being of the same opposite polarity to generate the necessary repulsive force. , thus representing the tightening means (10). In this way they repel, leaving the clamping elements (5) in the closed position in the absence of a connecting element (2) (figures 4, 6 and 7).
    [0108] Once said tightening means (10) have been acted upon, the path for inserting the joining element (2) into the capsule (1) remains free. As can be seen in figure 1 where the connecting element (2) is inserted in the capsule (1).
    [0110] At this moment, the tightening means (10) and the closing means (11) cease to act, leaving the connecting element (2) diametrically adjusted by the clamping elements (5) and completely protected by the cover (8 ) with its petals (9) closed.
    [0112] As can be seen in Figures 5 and 8, the connecting element (2) is adjusted by the thrust pressure exerted by the clamping elements (5) thanks to the magnets (10). This thrust occurs in a radial direction to the connecting element (2) and thanks to the pivoting of the clamping elements (5), a diametrical fit is produced to the connecting element (2) which prevents its displacement both radially and axially.
    [0114] The cover (8), in addition to protecting, also serves as additional support for connecting elements (2) of great lengths. In this case, if the joint element (2) tends to tilt due to the inertia of the movement along the tube (3), the cover (8) limits this inclination and the force of the clamping elements (5) exert the force necessary to bring the connecting element (2) back to its initial position, once the inertial forces have disappeared.
    [0116] To make the adjustment of the connecting element (2) with the clamping elements (5) even more effective, it is optionally provided that on the contact surface of the clamping element (5) with the connecting element (2) there is a fluted surface (19). The mooring is thus improved, immobilizing the connecting element (2) with greater security.
    [0118] With this thrust of the clamping elements (5) it is also possible to center the connecting element (2) in a direction parallel to the guiding direction. This diametrical adjustment provided by the clamping elements (5) allows the adjustment to be valid for connecting elements (2) of different diameters, even for different connecting elements (2) thanks to their pivoting.
    [0120] This is possible thanks to the fact that each clamping element (5) presses on at least one point zone of the connecting element (2), preferably a line of the connecting element (2), This point area of the axis of the connecting element (2) being selectable between a point area of the shank of a blind rivet, a point area of the shank of a temporary clamp, a point area of the thread of a sleeve rivet and a point area of the thread of a screw, being able to be any other element of union (2) that has a central axis. Therefore, it provides the capsule (1) with versatility of use for different types of connection elements (2) and of different sizes, which gives the installation a greater speed for the placement of connection elements (2) since You do not need to change the type of capsule (1) or head when different types of rivets are continuously required.
    [0122] In a specific configuration for cases where axial forces are produced during the manipulation process of the joining element (2) inside the capsule (1) that can overcome the retention force exerted by the clamping elements (5), being able to reach causing a relative displacement between the connecting element (2) and the capsule (1), the clamping element (5) comprises a projection (7) in the lower part of the contact surface with the connecting element (2). Thus, an axial stop is provided that provides additional support to the connecting element (2) that will be supported at its lower end on said projection (7) (figure 5).
    [0124] According to an alternative embodiment (not shown), it is provided that the capsule comprises at least two clamping elements (5) axially spaced and preferably three clamping elements (5) pressing in a specific area of the axis of the connecting element (2) and three other clamping elements (5) pressing on a point zone axially distanced from the previous one. In this way, an additional adjustment is achieved for connecting elements (2) that, due to their dimensions, have greater weight and therefore greater inertia.
    [0126] In figure 9 you can see the use of the capsule (1) for temporary clamps instead of the standard rivets. In this example the aforementioned versatility is demonstrated, however, both these temporary clamps (2) and for connecting elements (2) in which the axis has its longest longitudinal dimension, there would be problems of accommodation of the connecting element (2 ) that would interfere with the bottom of the capsule. Therefore, an additional characteristic of the invention is that it comprises a through opening (15) to allow the passage of said special connecting elements (2).
    [0128] Once the joining element (2) has been fixed and protected inside the capsule (1), the capsule (1) is transferred in the guide duct (3) to the application machine (14) by means of pressurized air, transferring it to the application head according to the guiding direction (4) (Figures 2 and 11).
    [0130] Once the capsule (1) reaches the end of the guide duct (3), the capsule (1) is positioned in front of the application machine (14). The capsule (1) is then aligned in the same way as in the application machine (13) thanks to the orientation means (12) located in the lower part of the capsule (1). To release the connecting element (2) from the capsule (1), the clamping means (10) and the closing means (11) are pressed again, as in the supply stage by means of extraction actuators (18) preferably tires. Then an extraction arm extracts the joint element (2) to place it in an application head for its final placement.
    [0132] At this moment the capsule (1) returns to the supply point for a new use.
    [0134] Finally, according to an alternative embodiment of the more simplified capsule, in figure 3 an optional example of embodiment of the capsule (1) can be seen in which the connecting element (2) is completely held both radially and axially by the elements clamping (5) being partially housed therein. The connecting element (2) is arranged completely covered laterally without being covered in its upper part. This embodiment is applicable for connecting elements (2) with small longitudinal dimensions and for connecting elements (2) that do not require the application of sealant.
