Abstract

In pliers having two jaw carriers (13A, 13B) which can carry cooperating clamping jaws (15A, 15B) or the like, one jaw carrier (13B) is designed as a pivotable connecting link which possesses two projecting legs or arms (13B', 13B'') lying against one another, which constitute an approximately C- or G-shaped structure which is resilient to a limited extent, one of the arms (13B') possessing at its free end an opening (14A') for mounting the connecting link (13B) on a pivot pin (14A) anchored in the tool body (11), and the second arm (13B'') being arranged at its free end (13B<'''>) for receiving one of the clamping jaws (15B). By virtue of the resilient design of the connecting link (13B), accurate processing of work objects within a certain size range is made possible without adjusting the tool. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Zangengerät der im Oberbegriff des angeschlossenen Patentanspruchs 1 angeführten Art, wo sich die Lagerung des Betätigungshebels in Gebrauchslage unterhalb der Hand befindet, was besser der Öffnungsweite der Hand entspricht, und u.a. den Vorteil mit sich bringt, dass der Betätigungshebel auch in der meist geöffneten Lage des Gerätes sofort mit den längsten Fingern der Hand erfasst und umfasst werden kann.The invention relates to a pliers device of the type mentioned in the preamble of the appended claim 1, where the bearing of the actuating lever is in the position of use below the hand, which corresponds better to the opening width of the hand, and u.a. has the advantage that the operating lever can be gripped and gripped immediately with the longest fingers of the hand, even in the mostly open position of the device.

Geräte dieser Art sind in EP-A-89200565 und EP-A-89850­358 der Anmelderin beschrieben. Diese vorbekannten Geräte weisen einen länglichen Gerätekörper bzw. ein längliches Gehäuse auf, an dessen erstem Ende ein zum Bearbeiten eines Arbeitsgegenstandes (z.B. mittels Schneidens oder Verpressens) vorgesehener wirksamer Teil mit zwei Backenträgern angeordnet ist, und am entgegenge­setzten zweiten Ende des Gehäuses ein Betätigungshebel mittels eines Anlenkzapfens bzw. Lagerbolzens angelenkt ist, wobei ein starrer Antriebsstab bzw. eine starre Druckstange den Betäti­gungshebel mit einem der Backenträger verbindet.Devices of this type are described in the applicant's EP-A-89200565 and EP-A-89850358. These previously known devices have an elongated device body or an elongated housing, at the first end of which an effective part intended for processing a work object (e.g. by means of cutting or pressing) is arranged with two jaw carriers, and at the opposite second end of the housing an actuating lever by means of a Articulation pin or bearing pin is articulated, a rigid drive rod or a rigid push rod connecting the actuating lever to one of the jaw carriers.

Das vorbekannte Gerät gemäss EP-A-89200565 ist für Anwendungsfälle bestimmt, wo die Annäherungsbewegung des einen Backenträgers an den anderen parallel geschehen soll, wobei der betreffende Backenträger an einem geradlinig im Gerätekörper ver­schiebbaren Schlitten angeordnet ist, welcher vom Antriebsstab beaufschlagt wird.The known device according to EP-A-89200565 is intended for applications where the approach movement of one jaw carrier to the other is to take place in parallel, the jaw carrier in question being arranged on a carriage which can be displaced in a straight line and which is acted upon by the drive rod.

Bei dem vorbekannten Gerät gemäss EP-A-89850358, wel­ches die im Oberbegriff des angeschlossenen Patentanspruchs 1 angeführten Merkmale aufweist, erfolgt die Bewegung der Backen­träger scheerenartig, d.h. als eine Schwenkbewegung, und das Gerät, welches eine sowohl einfachere, als auch ergonomisch vor­teilhafte Konstruktion aufweist, ermöglicht Arbeitsgegenstände verschiedener, innerhalb einer gewissen Spanne liegender Grössen in ein und derselben Endlage der Backenträger genau zu verarbei­ten.In the previously known device according to EP-A-89850358, which has the features stated in the preamble of the appended patent claim 1, the movement of the jaw carriers is scissor-like, i.e. than a swiveling movement, and the device, which has a simpler and more ergonomically advantageous construction, enables work items of different sizes within a certain range to be processed precisely in one and the same end position of the jaw supports.

Der bewegliche Backenträger ist bei dem Gerät gemäss EP-A-89850358 als eine Kulisse gestaltet, aus der ein quer zur Längsrichtung des Gerätekörpers federnd nachgiebiger Arm ausge­schnitten ist, an dessen freiem Ende eine Öffnung für einen Hal­tezapfen vorgesehen ist, mittels dessen der nachgiebige Arm der Kulisse an einen starren Steg angeschlossen ist, der seinerseits mittels eines zu Einstellzwecken vorzugsweise exzentrisch aus­geführten Anlenkzapfens im Gerätekörper gelagert ist.The movable jaw carrier is according to the device EP-A-89850358 is designed as a backdrop from which an arm resiliently resilient transversely to the longitudinal direction of the device body is cut out, at the free end of which there is an opening for a holding pin, by means of which the resilient arm of the backdrop is connected to a rigid web, which in turn is mounted in the device body by means of a pivot pin, which is preferably eccentrically designed for setting purposes.

Die Kulisse ist somit nicht starr bzw. unmittellbar mit ihrem Lagerzapfen verbunden, und durch diese Anordnung wird er­reicht, dass verschiedene Endabstände (gegenseitige Abstände der beiden Backenträger im Bereich ihrer freien Enden bei grösster Annäherung) stufenlos überbrückt werden können, so dass Gegen­stände verschiedener Grössen zwischen von den Backenträgern ge­tragenen Backen oder Gesenken ohne Umstellung des Gerätes ver­arbeitet werden können, z.B. so genannte Aderendhülsen nach Euro­panorm innerhalb einer bestimmten Querschnittsspanne.The backdrop is thus not rigidly or directly connected to its bearing journal, and this arrangement ensures that different end distances (mutual distances between the two jaw supports in the area of their free ends with the greatest possible approach) can be bridged continuously, so that objects of different sizes can be bridged Jaws or dies carried by the jaw carriers can be processed without moving the device, e.g. so-called ferrules according to European standards within a certain cross-sectional range.

Beide besprochene vorbekannte Geräte sind ferner mit einem Sperrmechanismus bzw. Gesperre zum Verhindern eines früh­zeitigen Abbruches der Schliessbewegung des beweglichen Backen­trägers versehen.Both previously known devices discussed are also provided with a locking mechanism or locking mechanism to prevent premature termination of the closing movement of the movable jaw carrier.

Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe ein Gerät der zuletzt angeführten Art zu schaffen, welches eine noch einfachere und vorteilhaftere Konstruktion mit verminderter An­zahl von Konstruktionsteilen aufweist, und welches, wenn an die Backenträger entsprechende Crimpbacken befestigt werden, z.B. als eine mit kleiner Handkraft antreibbare Crimpzange mit Frontein­führung dienen kann, die sich insbesondere zum Verpressen der oben angeführter Aderendhülsen z.B. in der Querschnittsspanne 0,25mm² bis 1,5mm² eignet.The present invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned last, which has an even simpler and more advantageous construction with a reduced number of construction parts, and which, if appropriate crimping jaws are attached to the jaw carriers, e.g. can be used as a crimping tool with front entry that can be driven with a small hand force, which is particularly suitable for pressing the above-mentioned wire end sleeves e.g. in the cross-sectional range 0.25mm² to 1.5mm².

Gemäss Fig. 1-5 weist ein erfindungsgemässes Gerät in einer vorgezogenen Ausführungsform einen länglichen Gerätekörper 11 in Form eines tragenden Kunststoffgebäudes auf, an dessen ers­tem Ende 11A ein wirksamer Teil OS angeordnet ist, wobei am ent­gegengesetzten zweiten Ende 11B des Gehäuses 11 ein Betätigungs­hebel 12 mittels eines rückwärtigen Lagerbolzens 17C angelenkt ist.1-5, a device according to the invention in a preferred embodiment has an elongated device body 11 in the form of a load-bearing plastic building, at the first end 11A of which an effective part OS is arranged, an actuating lever 12 being arranged at the opposite second end 11B of the housing 11 of a rear bearing pin 17C is articulated.

Der wirksame Teil OS, der sich in einem nach oben (d.h. in der Richtung, aus welcher der Betätigungshebel 12 angelenkt ist) abgebogenen Teil des Gerätekörpers 11 befindet, umfasst zwei bewegliche Backenträger, nämlich einen ersten Backenträger 13A, und einen zweiten Backenträger 13B, die beide gemeinsam mittels eines vorderen Lagerbolzens 14A schwenbar im Gehäuse 11 gelagert sind.The effective part OS, which is located in a part of the appliance body 11 which is bent upwards (ie in the direction from which the actuating lever 12 is articulated), comprises two movable jaw carriers, namely a first jaw carrier 13A and a second jaw carrier 13B which both are pivotally mounted in the housing 11 by means of a front bearing pin 14A.

Die Backenträger 13A, 13B tragen ein erstes bzw. zwei­tes, gegebenen Falls austauschbares Bearbeitungsorgan, wie Klemm­backe, Crimpgesenke od. dgl. 15A, 15B, das, wie dies beim zweiten Betätigungsrogan, der Klemmbacke, 15B der Fall ist, z.B. mittels eines Bolzens wie 15B′ o. dgl. befestigt ist.The jaw carriers 13A, 13B carry a first or second, if necessary interchangeable processing element, such as a clamping jaw, crimping dies or the like. 15A, 15B, which, as is the case with the second actuating element, the clamping jaw, 15B, e.g. is fastened by means of a bolt such as 15B 'or the like.

Der Backenträger 13A ist im dargestellten Beispiel enstückig mit der Klemmbacke 15A hergestellt und besteht im we­sentlichen aus einer auf den Lagerbolzen 14A aufsetzbaren Öse.In the example shown, the jaw support 13A is made in one piece with the clamping jaw 15A and essentially consists of an eyelet which can be placed on the bearing pin 14A.

Der untere Backenträger 13B ist als eine Kulisse ge­staltet, die zwei gegeneinander liegende Schenkel oder Arme 13B′, 13B˝ aufweist, welche eine Einbuchtung E umschliessen. Der erste auslaufende Arm 13B′ weist an seinem freien Ende eine Öffnung 14A′ zum Aufsetzen der Kulisse 13B auf den Lagerblozen 14B auf, und der zweite auslaufende Arm 13B˝ ist an seinem freien Ende 13B‴ zur Aufnahme der Klemmbacke 15B angeordnet, z.B. indem er eine Öffnung 15B˝ zur Aufnahme des Bolzens 15B′ aufweist.The lower jaw support 13B is designed as a backdrop, which has two opposing legs or arms 13B ', 13B˝, which enclose an indentation E. The first outgoing arm 13B 'has at its free end an opening 14A' for placing the link 13B on the bearing block 14B, and the second outgoing arm 13B˝ is arranged at its free end 13B ‴ for receiving the jaw 15B, e.g. by having an opening 15B˝ for receiving the bolt 15B '.

Die beiden Arme oder Schenkel 13B′, 13B˝ bilden Zusam­ men ein etwa C- oder G-förmiges, in beschränktem Umfang federndes Gebilde, wobei das Ausmass des gewünschten Federeffektes durch Wahl der Beschaffenheit und/oder Dicke des Materials (vorzugs­weise Metall, insbesondere Stahl), aus dem der Backenträger 13B hergestellt ist, sowie durch seine Umrissform bestimmt wird. Eine alternative Umrissform z.B. mit einer Einbuchtung S (Fig. 3), die den Arm 13B′ verlängt, ergibt eine "weichere" Federung.The two arms or legs 13B ', 13B˝ form together men an approximately C- or G-shaped, to a limited extent resilient structure, the extent of the desired spring effect by choice of the nature and / or thickness of the material (preferably metal, in particular steel) from which the jaw support 13B is made, and by its outline shape is determined. An alternative outline shape, for example with an indentation S (Fig. 3), which extends the arm 13B ', results in a "softer" suspension.

Dank dieser federnden Ausführung der Kulisse 13B wird genaue Verarbeitung von Arbeitsgegenständen innerhalb einer ge­wissen Grössenspanne ohne Umstellung des Gerätes ermöglicht.Thanks to this resilient design of the backdrop 13B, precise processing of work objects within a certain size range is possible without having to change the device.

Die Kulisse 13B weist an ihrem Umfang ferner eine kreisrunde, mehr als 180o umfassende Einbuchtung 13C auf, die ei­nen Bestandteil einer so genannten Knochenverbindung ("flaches Kugelgelenk") bildet.The link 13B has at its periphery a circular further, more than 180 o comprehensive recess 13C which forms ( "flat ball joint") a part of a so-called bone joint.

Am Lagerbolzen 14A ist ferner ein länglicher Gesenk­balken 18 schwenkbar gelagert, der an seinem entgegengesetzten freien Ende 18˝ von einer Druckfeder 18A und einer Stellschraube 18B beaufschlagt wird, die beide im Gehäuse 11 angeordnet sind.On the bearing pin 14A an elongated die beam 18 is also pivotally mounted, which is acted upon at its opposite free end 18˝ by a compression spring 18A and an adjusting screw 18B, both of which are arranged in the housing 11.

Diejenigen Kanten 13A′, 18′ am Backenträger 13A und am Gesenkbalken 18, die im Bereiche des Lagerzapfens 14A benachbart sind, sind zu gegenseitigem Formeingriff gestaltet, so dass, wenn die beiden Teile 13A, 18 auf dem Lagerzapfen 14A aufgesetzt sind, eine starre, gemeinsam um den Lagerzapfen 14A verschwenkbare Ein­heit entsteht.Those edges 13A ', 18' on the jaw support 13A and on the die beam 18, which are adjacent in the region of the bearing pin 14A, are designed for mutual shape engagement, so that when the two parts 13A, 18 are placed on the bearing pin 14A, a rigid, unit that can be pivoted together around the bearing journal 14A.

Der erste Backenträger 13A und der Gesenkbalken 18 können natürlich auch einstückig als eine Einheit 28 hergestellt sein, wie dies in Fig. 5 dargestellt ist, wobei jedoch die zwei­stückige Ausführung den Vorteil mit sich bringt, dass der (im dargestellten Beispiel) mit dem betreffenden Bearbeitungsorgan 15A zu einer Einheit zusammengefasste Backenträger 13A leicht ausgetauscht werden kann, z.B. gleichzeitig mit dem Bearbeitungs­organ 15B.The first jaw carrier 13A and the die beam 18 can of course also be produced in one piece as a unit 28, as shown in FIG. 5, but the two-piece design has the advantage that it (in the example shown) with the processing element in question 15A can be easily exchanged into a single unit, 13A simultaneously with the processing member 15B.

Durch Regelung der Stellschraube 18B gegen den Druck der Feder 18A kann die gewünschte Lage der Klemmbacke 15A gegen­über dem Gehäuse 11 eingestellt werden. Zum Unterschied vom Bak­kenträger 13B, der aus funktionellen Gründen schwenkbar ist, ist es der Backenträger 13A aus Einstellgründen.By regulating the set screw 18B against the pressure of the spring 18A, the desired position of the clamping jaw 15A relative to the housing 11 can be set. In contrast to the back support 13B, which is pivotable for functional reasons, it is the back support 13A for adjustment reasons.

Der Betätigungshebel 12 weist an seinem Anlenkende ei­ nen abgebogenen breiteren Teil 12′ auf, in dem der rückwärtige Lagerbolzen 17C angeordnet ist.The actuating lever 12 has egg at its pivot end NEN bent wider part 12 ', in which the rear bearing pin 17C is arranged.

Ein starrer Antriebsstab bzw. eine starre Druckstange 16 ist am rückwärtigen Ende 16B mittels eines Anschlusszapfens 16B′ gelenkig an den Betätigungshebel 12 innerhalb dessen breite­ren Teiles 12′ angeschlossen, und am vorderen Ende 16A mittels eines kreisbogenförmigen, mehr als 180° umfassenden Ausläufers 16A′, der in die Einbuchtung 13C der Kulisse 13B eingelegt ist, mit dieser Kulisse. Der Ausläufer 16B′ bildet den zweiten Teil der bereits erwähnten Knochenverbindung, mit deren Hilfe die Druckstange 16 an den ersten Backenträger im Abstand vom vorderen Lagerzapfen 14A angelenkt ist.A rigid drive rod or a rigid push rod 16 is articulated at the rear end 16B by means of a connecting pin 16B 'to the actuating lever 12 within its wider part 12', and at the front end 16A by means of an arcuate extension 16A 'comprising more than 180 °, which is inserted into the recess 13C of the link 13B with this link. The extension 16B 'forms the second part of the bone connection already mentioned, by means of which the push rod 16 is articulated on the first jaw carrier at a distance from the front bearing pin 14A.

Der Gesenkbalken 18 ist angeordnet durch seine Lage und/oder Form das Knochengelenk (16B, 16B′) seitlich zu stabili­sieren indem er z.B. einen Ausläufer 18D aufweist, der sich vor dem Knochengelenk, welches von entgegengesetzter Seite her von der Innenwand des Gehäuses 11 stabilisiert wird, befindet.The die beam 18 is arranged to laterally stabilize the bone joint (16B, 16B ′) by its position and / or shape, e.g. has an extension 18D, which is located in front of the bone joint, which is stabilized from the opposite side by the inner wall of the housing 11.

Am rückwärtigen Ende 16B der Druckstange 16 ist an ei­nem kurzen abgebogenen Arm 16C eine kurze Zahnreihe 17A angeord­net, die zusammen mit einer am Betätigungshebel 12 schwenkbar ge­lagerten, federbelasteten (Ziehfeder 17C) Sperrklinke 17B ein ge­gen frühzeitiges Öffnen der Backenträger 13A, 13B sicherndes Ge­sperre an sich bekannter Art bildet, welches so angeordnet ist, dass es eine rückwärtige Bewegung des Betätigungshebels 12, und somit des Backenträgers 13B, erst dann ermöglicht, wenn der Betä­tigungshebel 12 eime vorbestimmte Endlage 12˝ erreicht hat, in der sich der Backenträger 13B in vorbestimmter Endentferung vom Backenträger 13A befindet, wobei die Lage des Backenträgers 13A mittels der Stellschraube 18B in gewissen Grenzen festgelegt wer­den kann.At the rear end 16B of the push rod 16, a short row of teeth 17A is arranged on a short bent arm 16C, which, together with a spring-loaded (pull spring 17C) pawl 17B pivotally mounted on the actuating lever 12, provides a locking mechanism which prevents the jaw carriers 13A, 13B from opening prematurely known type, which is arranged so that it allows a rearward movement of the actuating lever 12, and thus the jaw carrier 13B, only when the actuating lever 12 has reached a predetermined end position 12˝, in which the jaw carrier 13B is at a predetermined end distance from Jaw support 13A is located, wherein the position of the jaw support 13A can be determined within certain limits by means of the adjusting screw 18B.

Die Druckstange 16 wird dauernd von einer Ziehfeder I6D im Sinne einer Öffnung des Backenpaares 15A, 15B beaufschlagt, wobei ein Anschlag 12C zur Festlegung der geöffneten Lage dient.The push rod 16 is continuously acted upon by a drawing spring I6D in the sense of an opening of the pair of jaws 15A, 15B, a stop 12C serving to fix the open position.

Die erfindungsgemässe Konstruktion weist verhältnismäs­sig wenig Einzelteile auf, zumal wenn die Kraftübertragung von der Druckstange 16 auf den Backenträger 13B mittels einer Kno­chenverbindung 16B, 16B′, wie in der Zeichnung dargestellt, zu­stande kommt, da hierbei solche Bestandteile wie Bolzen und Si­ cherungsringe eingespart werden.The construction according to the invention has relatively few individual parts, especially when the power transmission from the push rod 16 to the jaw carrier 13B by means of a bone connection 16B, 16B ', as shown in the drawing, comes about, since such components as bolts and Si circlips can be saved.

Die erfindungsgemässe Konstruktion ermöglicht auf ein­fache Weise, nämlich mittels einer einfachen Stellschraube 18B in Verbindung mit einer Anpressfeder 18A, einen Federausgleich im Crimpbereich, und auch einen Toleranzausgleich zu erzielen, an­statt der bisher üblichen aufwendigeren Exzenterverstellung mit Sicherung. Auch der Umstand, dass das Gehäuse 11 als tragendes Kunststoffgehäuse hergestellt werden kann, gehört zu den Vortei­len der Erfindung.The construction according to the invention makes it possible to achieve spring compensation in the crimping area and also tolerance compensation in a simple manner, namely by means of a simple adjusting screw 18B in connection with a pressure spring 18A, instead of the previously more complex and complex eccentric adjustment with securing means. The fact that the housing 11 can be manufactured as a load-bearing plastic housing also belongs to the advantages of the invention.
