Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Art.The invention relates to a device of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Die Greiferschienen einer Transferpresse sind in Greiferschienenteile aufgeteilt. Die im Pressenständerbereich befindlichen Greiferschienenteile verbleiben in der Presse; die Greifzeuge tragenden Greiferschienenteile werden dagegen gewechselt, wenn die Transferpresse auf ein anderes Werkstück eingerichtet wird.The gripper rails of a transfer press are divided into gripper rail parts. The gripper rail parts located in the press stand area remain in the press; on the other hand, the gripper rail parts carrying the grippers are replaced when the transfer press is set up on another workpiece.

Für den Pressenbetrieb, Transfer der Werkstücke in den Bearbeitungsstufen, sind die Greiferschienenteile untereinander zu (Gesamt-) Greiferschienen zu verbinden.For press operation and transfer of workpieces in the processing stages, the gripper rail parts are to be connected to one another to form (overall) gripper rails.

Die bisher bekannten Arten der Verbindungen der Greiferschienenteile untereinander sind sehr vielgestaltig, ohne daß jedoch Anregungen auf eine Lösung nach der Erfindung gegeben werden.The previously known types of connections of the gripper rail parts to one another are very varied, but without giving suggestions for a solution according to the invention.

So zeigt die DE-A1-23 59 912 Greiferschienenteile, deren Endbereiche stufig abgesetzt sind. Die Trennstelle zwischen den aneinander stoßenden Endbereichen werden durch ein korrespondierend zu der Form der Endbereiche ausgebildetes Verbindungsstück überbrückt. Nicht gezeigt ist die Art der Verspannung der Greiferschienenteile untereinander.DE-A1-23 59 912 shows gripper rail parts, the end regions of which are stepped. The separation point between the abutting end regions is bridged by a connecting piece which corresponds to the shape of the end regions. The type of bracing of the gripper rail parts with one another is not shown.

Das DE-GM 82 02 432 zeigt korrespondierend geformte, im Betrieb aufeinanderliegende Endbereiche von Greiferschienenteilen, die durch ein Schraubmittel untereinander verspannt werden.DE-GM 82 02 432 shows correspondingly shaped end regions of gripper rail parts which lie one on top of the other during operation and are clamped to one another by a screwing means.

In der DE-C1-31 50 508 wird ein Trennspalt zwischen den Greiferschienenteilen durch ein aufklappbares Greiferschienenschloß überbrückt, das an dem in der Presse verbleibenden Greiferschienenteil klappbar angebracht ist. Die Verbindung der Greiferschienenteile untereinander erfolgt durch Schraubmittel.In DE-C1-31 50 508, a separating gap between the gripper rail parts is bridged by a hinged gripper rail lock that is attached to the gripper rail part remaining in the press foldable is attached. The gripper rail parts are connected to one another by screwing means.

Die DE-A1-32 35 308 zeigt ein Stellmittel in einer Maßnahme zum Kuppeln und Entkuppeln, das in einen Greiferschienenteil eingebracht ist. Dieses dient zur Sicherung des durch korrespondierend geformte Endbereiche der Greiferschienenteile gebildeten Formschlusses nach dem Fügen.DE-A1-32 35 308 shows an adjusting means in a measure for coupling and uncoupling, which is introduced into a gripper rail part. This serves to secure the positive connection formed by correspondingly shaped end regions of the gripper rail parts after the joining.

Bei der Vorrichtung nach der DE-A1-35 20 343 wird zwischen den Greiferschienenteilen ein Trennspalt gebildet. Dieser ist vor dem Verspannen der Greiferschienenteile gegeneinander durch Druckstücke aufzufüllen. Das Einfügen der Druckstücke in den Trennspalt und das daran anschließende Verspannen der Greiferschienenteile gegeneinander wird durch ein Stellmittel erreicht, das in dem Endbereich eines Greiferschienenteils befestigt ist. Das Stellmittel weist einen Spannbolzen auf, der einerseits die Druckstücke bewegt. Andererseits ist der Spannbolzen mit einem Spannkopf hinter eine Spannfläche in dem anzuspannenden Greiferschienenteil legbar und durch Zurückziehen festsetzbar.In the device according to DE-A1-35 20 343, a separating gap is formed between the gripper rail parts. Before tightening the gripper rail parts against each other, this must be filled with thrust pieces. The insertion of the pressure pieces into the separating gap and the subsequent clamping of the gripper rail parts against one another is achieved by means of an adjusting means which is fastened in the end region of a gripper rail part. The actuating means has a clamping bolt which on the one hand moves the pressure pieces. On the other hand, the clamping bolt can be placed with a clamping head behind a clamping surface in the gripper rail part to be clamped and can be fixed by pulling it back.

Aus den Druckschriften DE-A1-36 36 010 und DE-A1 36 36 011 sind weiterhin Vorrichtungen zum Kuppeln und Entkuppeln von Greiferschienenteilen einer Transferpresse bekannt. Die hierfür erforderlichen Spannmittel sind in den Endbereichen der Greiferschienenteile angeordnet. Hierbei ist mit dem Spannbolzen ein Brückenteil mitgeführt, an dem zwei Zentrierbolzen befestigt sind zum Zentrieren der Greiferschienenteile untereinander und an dem weiterhin ein Führungsbolzen mitgeführt ist zum Verschieben eines beweglichen Schlittens an der Außenform des das Spannelement aufnehmenden Greiferschienenteils.From documents DE-A1-36 36 010 and DE-A1 36 36 011 devices for coupling and uncoupling gripper rail parts of a transfer press are also known. The clamping devices required for this are arranged in the end regions of the gripper rail parts. Here, a bridge part is carried along with the clamping bolt, on which two centering bolts are fastened for centering the gripper rail parts with one another and on which a guide bolt is also carried for moving a movable slide on the outer shape of the gripper rail part receiving the clamping element.

Alle diese Lösungen setzen eine Mehrteiligkeit der Greiferschienenteile in den Endbereichen voraus. Die Einzelteil-Montage muß direkt an den Endbereichen der Greiferschienenteile erfolgen und es sind weiterhin umfangreiche Bearbeitungen spanabhebender Art und Schweißvorgänge an den Greiferschienenteilen bei der Vor- bzw. Montage durchzuführen.All of these solutions require multiple parts of the gripper rail parts in the end areas. The individual parts must be mounted directly on the end areas of the gripper rail parts and extensive machining operations and welding operations on the gripper rail parts must continue to be carried out during the preassembly or assembly.

Ausgehend von der gattungsbildenden Einrichtung nach DE-A1-36 36 010 ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Elemente für das Kuppeln und Entkuppeln von Greiferschienenteilen in eine Baueinheit zu integrieren, um die Ausbildung der Endbereiche der Greiferschienenteile und somit die Bearbeitung der Endbereiche und die Montage 'vor Ort' wesentlich zu vereinfachen. Die Baueinheit ist als ein Ganzes vormontierbar, lagerbar und transportierfähig und an den Greiferschienenteilen als Komplett-Teil festsetzbar und bildet für den Betriebszustand "Greiferschienenwechsel zugleich mit dem Werkzeugwechsel" die hierfür erforderliche Kuppelebene.Starting from the generic device according to DE-A1-36 36 010, it is an object of the invention to integrate the elements for coupling and uncoupling gripper rail parts into a structural unit in order to form the end regions of the gripper rail parts and thus significantly simplify the processing of the end areas and the assembly 'on site'. The unit can be preassembled as a whole, can be stored and transported, and can be attached to the gripper rail parts as a complete part and forms the required coupling level for the operating state "gripper rail change at the same time as the tool change".

Die Aufgabe ist gelöst durch die in den Ansprüchen 1 oder 2 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiele.The object is achieved by the exemplary embodiments shown in claims 1 or 2.

Hierbei sind in vorteilhafter Weise alle Spannmittel von einem teilbaren Gehäuse umgeben, das insgesamt für den Einbau montagefertig und als solches auch bei Ersatz austauschbar ist.In this case, all clamping means are advantageously surrounded by a divisible housing which is overall ready for installation for installation and as such can be replaced even when replaced.

Die Baueinheit kann in ihren Querschnittsmaßen den Querschnittsmaßen der Endbereiche der Greiferschienenteile entsprechen, so daß nur ohnehin erforderliche Bauteile für eine andere Verwendung überstehen. Die Baueinheit ist auch bei solchen Greiferschienen anwendbar, deren Greiferschienenteile aus Flachschienen-Material gefertigt sind. Bereits vorhandene Greiferschienen, auch solche mit zunächst anderer Kupplungsausführung, sind nachrüstbar. Die Baueinheit ist sowohl für Greiferschienensysteme, bei denen Trennfugen in den Kupplungsebenen erforderlich sind, insbesondere aber auch für trennfugenfreie Greiferschienensysteme einsetzbar, bei denen die Greiferschienenteile durch flanschmäßiges Aneinanderpressen der Stirnseiten in den Endbereichen zu kuppeln sind.The cross-sectional dimensions of the structural unit can correspond to the cross-sectional dimensions of the end regions of the gripper rail parts, so that only components that are required anyway survive for any other use. The assembly can also be used with gripper rails whose gripper rail parts are made from flat rail material. Existing gripper rails, including those with an initially different coupling version, can be retrofitted. The assembly can be used both for gripper rail systems, where joints are required in the coupling levels, and in particular for gripper rail systems without joints, in which the parts of the gripper rail are to be coupled in the end areas by flanging the end faces together.

Anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen in den Figuren soll die Erfindung im folgenden erläutert werden.The invention is to be explained below on the basis of exemplary embodiments in the figures.

Die in Fig. 4 teilweise gezeigte Transferpresse 35 weist Greiferschienen zwischen den Freiräumen der Pressenständer 36 und über Rollen 40 aus der Transferpresse herausfahrbare, anhebbare und absenkbare Schiebetische 37 auf. Die Greiferschienen werden aus Greiferschienenteilen 1, 2 gebildet, die vermittels kompletter Aufbaueinheiten 3 untereinander verbindbar sind. Die Aufbaueinheiten bilden Kuppelebenen 22 zum Abtrennen der von den Schiebetischen über Abstützmittel 39 beim Wechseln aus der Transferpresse heraus fahrbaren Greiferschienenteile 2. Mit 16 ist jeweils ein Stellmittel angedeutet zum Entkuppeln und Kuppeln der Greiferschienenteile. Die in der Transferpresse verbleibenden Greiferschienenteile 1 und somit die Gesamt-Greiferschienen sind durch Umlenkmittel in den angedeuteten Schließkästen 38 antreibbar.The transfer press 35 partially shown in FIG. 4 has gripper rails between the free spaces of the press stand 36 and sliding tables 37 which can be moved out of the transfer press via rollers 40, and can be raised and lowered. The gripper rails are formed from gripper rail parts 1, 2 which can be connected to one another by means of complete assembly units 3. The assembly units form dome planes 22 for separating the gripper rail parts 2 that can be moved out of the sliding tables via support means 39 when changing out of the transfer press. An actuating means is indicated at 16 for decoupling and coupling the gripper rail parts. The gripper rail parts 1 remaining in the transfer press and thus the overall gripper rails can be driven by deflection means in the indicated lock boxes 38.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Aufbaueinheit 3 gezeigt mit den Aufbauteilen 4, 5 in Art von Gehäusen, die über Zentrieransätze 8, 9, Paßfedern 10, 11 und Schraubmittel 33 (Fig. 2) in Nuten 12, 13, Zentrierbohrungen 14, 15 und Gewindebohrungen 34 (Fig. 2) zwischen den Greiferschienenteilen arretierbar sind. Mit 6, 7 sind die Montageebenen für die Aufbaueinheit an den Greiferschienenteilen 1, 2 angedeutet, in der diese als komplette Aufbaueinheit in den Endbereichen der Greiferschienenteile montiert wird.In Fig. 1, a structural unit 3 is shown with the structural parts 4, 5 in the manner of housings, which have centering lugs 8, 9, keys 10, 11 and screw means 33 (Fig. 2) in grooves 12, 13, centering holes 14, 15 and Threaded holes 34 (Fig. 2) can be locked between the gripper rail parts. 6, 7 indicate the assembly levels for the assembly unit on the gripper rail parts 1, 2, in which it is assembled as a complete assembly unit in the end regions of the gripper rail parts.

Die Aufbauteile sind für Einbau in die Greiferschienenteile und für den Betrieb - Transfer von Werkstücken in der Transferpresse - in zusammengefügtem Zustand. Für beide Verwendungen weist ein Aufbauteil 5 das Stellmittel 16 auf, das über einen Spannbolzen 17 mit dem Spannanker 18 durch die Durchbrüche 39, 31 hindurchführbar und hinter einer Spannfläche 19 in dem anderen Aufbauteil 4 durch Drehen und Zurückziehen festlegbar ist unter Aneinanderpressen von in die Stirnseiten der Aufbauteile eingebrachten Flanschflächen 41. Diese werden z.B. durch Absätze 42 gebildet, die hinter den Flanschflächen zurückstehen können. Mit dem Spannbolzen wird ein Brückenteil 20 mitbewegt, an dem einerseits Zentrierbolzen 21 zum Eingriff in Zentrierbohrungen 29 des anderen Aufbauteils befestigt sind; andererseits ist ein Führungsbolzen 23 an dem Brückenteil befestigt, der durch einen Durchbruch 24 in der Wandung des Aufbauteils hindurchgeführt ist. Der Führungsbolzen greift in einen Schlitten 26, der in Schienen 25 geführt ist, und der eine Kupplungshälfte 28 zum Kontakt mit einer fest auf dem anderen Aufbauteil befindlichen Kupplungshälfte 27 trägt.The assembly parts are for assembly in the gripper rail parts and for operation - transfer of workpieces in the transfer press - in the assembled state. For both uses, a mounting part 5 has the actuating means 16, which can be passed through the openings 39, 31 via a tensioning bolt 17 with the tensioning anchor 18 and can be fixed behind a tensioning surface 19 in the other mounting part 4 by rotating and retracting it by pressing against one another in the end faces of the structural parts introduced flange surfaces 41. These are formed, for example, by shoulders 42, which can protrude behind the flange surfaces. A bridge part 20 is moved with the tensioning bolt, on which, on the one hand, centering bolts 21 for engagement in centering bores 29 of the other structural part are fastened; on the other hand, a guide pin 23 is fastened to the bridge part, which is guided through an opening 24 in the wall of the structural part. The guide pin engages in a carriage 26 which is guided in rails 25 and which carries a coupling half 28 for contact with a coupling half 27 located firmly on the other structural part.

In Fig. 2 sind gleiche Teile wie in Fig. 1 gleich positioniert und es wird hierauf Bezug genommen. Mit 32 sind Aussparungen in der Wandung des Aufbauteils 5 angedeutet zum Einführen von Schraubmitteln 33.In Fig. 2, the same parts as in Fig. 1 are positioned the same and reference is made to them.
