Die Erfindung betrifft eine schnellverstellbare Mehrfachspannvorrichtung mit mindestens einem entlang einer Basis verstellbaren und an dieser arretierbaren Spannmodul, wobei an der Basis und an den Spannmodulen eine Verzahnung zur Positionierung der Spannmodule vorhanden ist (siehe, z.B., EP-A-0 229 717).The invention relates to a quickly adjustable multiple clamping device with at least one adjustable along a base and on this lockable clamping module, being at the base and a toothing on the clamping modules for positioning the Clamping modules are available (see, e.g., EP-A-0 229 717).

Spannvorrichtungen dieser Art werden zum Spannen von Werkstücken bei der Bearbeitung insbesondere auf Werkzeugmaschinen, Bearbeitungszentren usw. verwendet. Bei bekannten Konstruktionen (z.B. EP-A-0 229 717, GB-A-2 245 202, US-A-5 324 013) erfolgt die Arretierung eines Spannmoduls oder eines Anschlagkörpers auf der Basis mittels einer oder mehrerer Schrauben, die das Modul bzw. den Körper senkrecht durchdringen und an der Basis in einer T-Nut verankert sind, die sich in Verstellrichtung erstreckt.Clamping devices of this type are used for clamping workpieces when machining, in particular on machine tools, machining centers etc. used. In known constructions (e.g. EP-A-0 229 717, GB-A-2 245 202, US-A-5 324 013) Locking a clamping module or a stop body on the Base using one or more screws that secure the module or penetrate the body vertically and at the base in a T-slot are anchored, which extends in the direction of adjustment.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Spannvorrichtung vorzuschlagen, deren Spannmodule völlig ungehindert entlang der Basis verstellt (verschoben) und auch schnellstmöglichst ausgewechselt werden können.The object of the present invention is a tensioning device propose whose clamping modules are completely unimpeded along the Base adjusted (shifted) and also replaced as soon as possible can be.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass jedes Spannmodul eine quer zur Verstellrichtung obenliegende Welle aufweist, welche mit zwei zu beiden Seiten des Moduls angeordneten Briden mittels Rechts- bzw. Linksgewinde im Eingriff steht, und dass die Briden das Modul und die Basis mittels Lappen übergreifen, wobei die Lappen die Briden um ca. 1-2mm verlängern und jeweils Schrägflächen aufweisen, die zur Anlage an entsprechenden Schrägflächen am Modul und an der Basis bestimmt sind, derart, dass durch Drehen der Welle und entsprechende Abstandsänderung der Briden die Briden geführt und nicht gedreht werden und eine Verbindung zwischen Spannmodul und Basis zustande kommt bzw. aufgehoben wird.This object is achieved in that each Clamping module is a shaft located at right angles to the adjustment direction has, which is arranged with two on both sides of the module Interlocking with right and left hand threads stands, and that the brids using the module and the base Spread over the flaps, the flaps over the clips by approx. 1-2mm extend and each have inclined surfaces that lead to the system on corresponding sloping surfaces on the module and on the base are determined such that by rotating the shaft and corresponding Distance change of the brides led the brides and not be rotated and a connection between the clamping module and basis comes into being or is canceled.

Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, dass ein Spannmodul lediglich durch Betätigen der Welle ungehindert verstellt oder auch ganz entfernt (ausgetauscht) werden kann.With the invention it is achieved that a clamping module only adjusted by operating the shaft unhindered or even completely can be removed (replaced).

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert.

Fig. 1
zeigt perspektivisch eine modular aufgebaute Mehrfachspannvorrichtung mit der Basis und drei Typen von Spannmodulen (Spannschlitten),
Fig. 2 bis 4
zeigen die drei Spannmodule je für sich allein, und
Fig. 5
zeigt ein auf der Basis aufgesetztes Spannmodul in Seitenansicht (5.1), in Stirnansicht (5.2), im Längsschnitt (5.3) und im Querschnitt (5.4).
The invention is explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments in conjunction with the drawing.
Fig. 1
shows in perspective a modular multiple clamping device with the base and three types of clamping modules (clamping slide),
2 to 4
show the three clamping modules each for themselves, and
Fig. 5
shows a clamping module placed on the base in side view (5.1), in front view (5.2), in longitudinal section (5.3) and in cross section (5.4).

Eine Mehrfachspannvorrichtung nach Fig. 1 dient in an sich bekannter Weise zum Spannen von (nicht dargestellten) Werkstücken bei der maschinellen Bearbeitung. Auf einer Basis 2 sind Spannmodule 1 arretiert, wobei je nach Form und Grösse der Werkstücke verschiedene Typen von Modulen 1 zur Anwendung kommen können (siehe auch Fig. 2, 3 bzw. 4). Mittels einer an der Basis 2 und an den Spannmodulen 1 vorhandenen Verzahnung 9 sind die Module positioniert. Der Hub der Spannbacke 6 ist jeweils grösser als die Teilung der Verzahnung 9, so dass jede Werkstückgrösse gespannt werden kann. A multiple clamping device according to FIG. 1 serves in itself known way for clamping workpieces (not shown) in machining. On a base 2 are Clamping modules 1 locked, depending on the shape and size of the workpieces different types of modules 1 are used can (see also Fig. 2, 3 and 4). Using one at the base 2 and existing teeth 9 on the clamping modules 1 are the Modules positioned. The stroke of the jaw 6 is larger in each case than the pitch of the toothing 9, so that every workpiece size can be excited.

Zur Anpassung an die jeweiligen Werkstücke ist eine Schnellverstellung der Spannmodule entlang der Basis erforderlich, oder es müssen Module verschiedener Typen ausgewechselt werden. Zu diesem Zweck sind die Spannmodule 1 und die Basis 2 wie folgt gestaltet (Fig. 5):There is a quick adjustment to adapt to the respective workpieces the clamping modules along the base are required, or Modules of different types have to be replaced. To for this purpose, the clamping modules 1 and the base 2 are as follows designed (Fig. 5):

Das Spannmodul 1 weist eine quer zur Verstellrichtung obenliegende Welle 4 auf. Diese befindet sich oberhalb der Verzahnung 9 und wird von einem Keil 5 am Modul 1 festgehalten. An beiden Seiten des Moduls befindet sich je eine Bride 3, wobei die Welle 4 mit den Briden 3 mittels Rechts- bzw. Linksgewinde im Eingriff steht. Die Briden 3 übergreifen mittels Lappen das Modul 1 und die Basis 2. Sie weisen je zwei Schrägflächen auf, die zur Anlage an entsprechenden Schrägflächen am Modul und an der Basis bestimmt sind.The clamping module 1 has an overhead one transverse to the adjustment direction Wave 4 on. This is located above the toothing 9 and is held on module 1 by a wedge 5. At both There is a bracket 3 on each side of the module, the shaft 4 engages with the clamps 3 by means of right-hand and left-hand threads stands. The bridges 3 overlap module 1 and the base 2. They each have two inclined surfaces, which for Attachment to appropriate sloping surfaces on the module and at the base are determined.

Durch Drehen der Welle 4 werden die Briden je nach Drehrichtung zusammengezogen oder auseinander getrieben. Somit wird auf einfache Weise eine Verbindung zwischen dem Spannmodul und der Basis hergestellt bzw. aufgehoben. Die Gewindeanfänge an der Welle 4 und an den Briden 3 sind definiert, so dass beide Briden gleichzeitig zum Anliegen kommen.By turning the shaft 4, the clamps will change depending on the direction of rotation contracted or driven apart. Thus, on simple way a connection between the clamping module and the Base made or canceled. The thread starts on the Shaft 4 and on the bridging 3 are defined so that both bridging come to the concern at the same time.

Der obere Lappen der Briden 3 ist um ca. 1-2mm verlängert, so dass die Briden geführt sind und sich beim Lösen nicht verdrehen.The upper tab of the bracket 3 is extended by about 1-2mm, see above that the clamps are guided and do not twist when loosening.

Der Keil 5, welcher die Welle 4 hält, ist als Nutenstein ausgebildet, der in eine Führungsnut 10 an der Basis 2 passt. Dadurch ist das Spannmodul an der Basis seitlich zentriert.The wedge 5, which holds the shaft 4, is designed as a sliding block, which fits into a guide groove 10 on the base 2. Thereby the clamping module is laterally centered at the base.

In der gleichen Art können verschiedene Spannmodule, Vorrichtungen, Unterlagen, Anschläge usw. mit der Basis 2 verbunden werden.In the same way, different clamping modules, devices, Documents, stops, etc. connected to the base 2 become.
