DEVICE FOR FORCE CONTROL DURING FIXATION OF COUPLING BAND Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B25B25/00 B65B13/22 B23P19/08 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: tool for coupling band fixture has a pair of levers turning around parallel axes (8), which carry jaws (9) of the fixture that move relative to each other and act on the yoke. To control forces and clamping band of coupling band clamping device is provided, which has fixed body (11) and pair of arms (15) for transfer of forces. Each arm (15) for transfer of forces at one end is elastically attached with formation of hinge to body (11), on other end carries contact surface (17) for installed on housing of force sensor (18) and between its ends has hole (20), in which axis (8) of corresponding tool lever is installed. Curve force/time or curve force/path derived from sensor signals serves as a measure of fastening quality between clasp and coupling band.

EFFECT: control over the nature of change of forces during fixation of coupling band and due to this possibility of detection of connection between clamping band and latch of unsatisfactory quality.
