Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Spannvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a clamping device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Eine Spannvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art ist nach der DE 197 51 950 C1 bekannt. Diese besteht aus einem linear beweglichen Antriebselement (Pneumatikzylinder), das zur Betätigung von mindestens einem Spannwerkzeug (Spannarm) über eine in einem Gehäuse angeordnete Stellmechanik (Kniehebelmechanik) mit einer im Gehäuse drehbar gelagerten Schwenkachse wirkverbunden ist. Am Gehäuse ist beidseitig jeweils ein Drehlagerbereiche (Radial- und Axiallager) für die Schwenkachse vorgesehen, zwischen denen die Kniehebelmechanik angeordnet ist. Die Schwenkachse ist zur Anbringung des Spannarmes über einen Drehlagerbereich hinausragend ausgebildet.A clamping device of the type mentioned is known from DE 197 51 950 C1. This consists of a linearly movable drive element (pneumatic cylinder), which is operatively connected to the actuation of at least one clamping tool (clamping arm) via a housing arranged in a control mechanism (toggle mechanism) with a rotatably mounted in the housing pivot axis. On the housing on both sides in each case a pivot bearing areas (radial and thrust bearing) is provided for the pivot axis, between which the toggle lever mechanism is arranged. The pivot axis is formed for mounting the clamping arm over a pivot bearing area protruding.

In Abänderung hierzu kann die Schwenkachse gemäß der DE 197 51 950 C1 (siehe Spalte 3, Zeile 53 ff.) auch an beiden Endabschnitten aus dem Gehäuse des Spannkopfes herausgeführt sein und auf diesen beiden Endabschnitten beispielsweise einen gabelförmig gestalteten Spannarm tragen.In a modification to this, the pivot axis according to DE 197 51 950 C1 (see column 3, line 53 ff.) Also be led out at both end portions of the housing of the clamping head and carry on these two end portions, for example, a fork-shaped clamping arm.

Zur Realisierung dieser Abänderung ist es bei der Spannvorrichtung gemäß der DE 197 51 950 C1 erforderlich, die Spannvorrichtung auseinander- und eine für den jeweiligen Anwendungsfall passende Schwenkachse einzubauen. Im Falle eines seitlichen Spannarmes also eine Schwenkachse, die nur einseitig aus dem Gehäuse herausgeführt ist, im Falle eines gabelförmigen Spannarmes eine, die beidseitig aus dem Gebäuse heraussteht.To implement this modification, it is necessary in the clamping device according to DE 197 51 950 C1, the tensioning device apart and install a suitable for the particular application pivot axis. In the case of a lateral clamping arm so a pivot axis, which is led out only on one side of the housing, in the case of a fork-shaped clamping arm one that protrudes from both sides of the housing.

Die Abänderung hinsichtlich der Anordnung der Schwenkachse ist somit nachteilig mit umfangreichen Umbaumaßnahmen verbunden.The change in the arrangement of the pivot axis is thus disadvantageously associated with extensive conversion measures.

Der Vollständigkeit halber wird noch auf die EP 0 862 970 A2 hingewiesen.For the sake of completeness, reference is made to EP 0 862 970 A2.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer Spannvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art den Aufwand zur Umrüstung bezüglich der Anordnung der Schwenkachse auf konstruktiv möglichst einfache Weise zu reduzieren.The invention has for its object to reduce in a tensioning device of the type mentioned the cost of retrofitting with respect to the arrangement of the pivot axis in a structurally simple manner possible.

Diese Aufgabe ist gelöst mit einer Spannvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 aufgeführten Merkmale.This object is achieved with a clamping device of the type mentioned by the features listed in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Nach der Erfindung ist also vorgesehen, dass die Schwenkachse aus einer Hohlwelle und einer in dieser konzentrisch und zu dieser verdrehfest angeordneten Abtriebswelle gebildet ist, wobei die Hohlwelle (etwa) gehäusebreit ausgebildet und in den Drehlagerbereichen verdrehbar gelagert ist und wobei die Abtriebswelle zur Hohlwelle axialverschieblich, aber an dieser fixierbar ausgebildet ist. Mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt, ist die erfindungsgemäße Schwenkachse im Gegensatz zur eingangs beschriebenen Achse nach der DE 197 51 950 C1 mindestens zweiteilig ausgebildet, wobei der mit der Stellmechanik verbundene Teil im Prinzip als drehbar im Gehäuse angeordnete Hohlwelle und der andere Teil als in der Hohlwelle verdrehfest, aber axialverschieblich und -fixierbar ausgebildet ist. Je nach Bedarf, wird also die Abtriebswelle bezüglich ihrer Axialfixierung von der Hohlwelle gelöst und in die jeweils gewünschte Position gebracht. Dabei weist die Hohlwelle etwa die Breite des Gehäuses auf. Die Abtriebswelle weist vorzugsweise eine Breite auf, die es ermöglicht, einerseits bei einseitigem Überstand einen Spannarm und andererseits bei beidseitigem Überstand beispielsweise einen gabelförmigen Spannarm daran zu befestigen. Für andere Anwendungsfälle, beispielsweise wenn die Drehbewegung der Hohlwelle per Kardanwelle weiter übertragen wird, kann die Abtriebswelle auch länger oder gegebenenfalls auch kürzer ausgebildet sein. Entscheidend ist, dass zur Abänderung lediglich die Abtriebswelle wahlweise ausgetauscht oder auch nur in ihrer Axialposition verschoben werden muss.According to the invention, it is thus provided that the pivot axis is formed by a hollow shaft and an output shaft concentric therewith and rotationally fixed therewith, wherein the hollow shaft (approximately) is formed as wide as a housing and is rotatably mounted in the pivot bearing regions and wherein the output shaft is axially displaceable relative to the hollow shaft, but is designed to be fixable. In other words, the pivot axis according to the invention, in contrast to the axis described in DE 197 51 950 C1 at least two parts, wherein the part connected to the adjusting mechanism in principle rotatable in the housing arranged hollow shaft and the other part as in the hollow shaft against rotation but is axially displaceable and fixable. Depending on requirements, so the output shaft is released with respect to their axial fixation of the hollow shaft and brought into the respective desired position. In this case, the hollow shaft has approximately the width of the housing. The output shaft preferably has a width which makes it possible, on the one hand, to fasten a tensioning arm on one side overhang and, on the other hand, in the case of a protrusion on both sides, for example attaching a forked tensioning arm to it. For other applications, for example, when the rotational movement of the hollow shaft is transmitted by propeller shaft, the output shaft may also be longer or possibly shorter. It is crucial that for modification, only the output shaft must either be replaced or moved only in its axial position.

Die erfindungsgemäße Spannvorrichtung einschließlich ihrer vorteilhaften Weiterbildungen gemäß der abhängigen Patentansprüche wird nachfolgend anhand der zeichnerischen Darstellung eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The clamping device according to the invention including its advantageous developments according to the dependent claims will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing of a preferred embodiment.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist zunächst zur Erläuterung des technologischen Hintergrundes eine Spannvorrichtung nach der EP 1 201 370 A2 dargestellt. Bezüglich der genauen Funktion dieser Spannvorrichtung wird insoweit vollumfänglich auf dieses Dokument verwiesen.In FIGS. 1 and 2, initially a clamping device according to EP 1 201 370 A2 is shown to explain the technological background. With regard to the exact function of this tensioning device, reference is made to this document to the full extent.

Sowohl die genannte als auch die erfindungsgemäße Spannvorrichtung weisen ein Antriebselement 1 auf. Bei der Spannvorrichtung gemäß Figur 1 ist das Antriebselement 1 als Elektroantrieb ausgebildet. Alternativ kommen aber auch linear bewegliche Pneumatik- (siehe die zitierte DE 197 51 950 C1) oder Hydraulikantriebe oder ein Handantrieb in Betracht, und zwar je nach Anwendungsfall und Verwendungszweck.Both the mentioned and the clamping device according to the invention have a drive element 1. In the tensioning device according to FIG. 1, the drive element 1 is designed as an electric drive. Alternatively, however, also linearly movable pneumatic (see the cited DE 197 51 950 C1) or hydraulic drives or a manual drive into consideration, depending on the application and intended use.

Das Antriebselement 1 ist zur Betätigung von mindestens einem Spannwerkzeug 5 über eine in einem Gehäuse 2 angeordnete Stellmechanik 3 mit mindestens einer im Gehäuse 2 drehbar gelagerten Schwenkachse 4 wirkverbunden.The drive element 1 is operatively connected to actuate at least one clamping tool 5 via a positioning mechanism 3 arranged in a housing 2 with at least one pivot axis 4 rotatably mounted in the housing 2.

Das Spannwerkzeug 5 ist bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform als Schwenk- bzw. Spannarm ausgebildet. Alternativ sind aber auch Ausbildungen als Schubstangen-, Zentrier- oder Unterflurspanner möglich.The clamping tool 5 is formed in the illustrated embodiment as a pivot or clamping arm. Alternatively, however, training as push rod, centering or underfloor tensioners are possible.

Die Stellmechanik 3 ist beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Kniehebelmechanik ausgebildet. Die erfindungsgemäße Spannvorrichtung kann aber genauso gut mit einer sogenannten Kurvenmechanik ausgerüstet sein, wie sie beispielsweise in der EP 0 747 172 A1 offenbart ist.The adjusting mechanism 3 is formed in the illustrated embodiment as a toggle mechanism. However, the tensioning device according to the invention can just as well be equipped with a so-called curve mechanism, as disclosed, for example, in EP 0 747 172 A1.

Wie insbesondere aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, ist ferner vorteilhaft vorgesehen, dass das Gehäuse 2 der erfindungsgemäßen Spannvorrichtung aus zwei jedenfalls in etwa zueinander spiegelsymmetrischen Schalen gebildet ist. In Figur 2 ist nur die linke Schale dargestellt, während die rechte Schale demontiert ist, um Einblick ins Innere der Spannvorrichtung zu gewähren.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, it is furthermore advantageously provided that the housing 2 of the tensioning device according to the invention is formed from two shells, which in any case are approximately mirror-symmetrical to each other. In Figure 2, only the left shell is shown, while the right shell is dismantled to allow insight into the interior of the tensioning device.

Zur Lagerung der Schwenkachse 4 in den beiden Gehäuseschalen sind zwei Drehlagerbereiche 6, 7 vorgesehen, zwischen denen die Stellmechanik 3 angeordnet ist. Die Drehlagerbereich 6, 7 sind insbesondere als Radiallager, aber durchaus auch als Axiallager beispielsweise für eine Wellenschulter 20 an der Schwenkachse 5 bzw. der noch zu erläuternden, erfindungsgemässen Hohlwelle 8 ausgebildet. Als Lagerarten bzw. -typen kommen insbesondere Kugel-, Rollen- oder Gleitlager in Betracht. Die Spannvorrichtung gemäß den Figuren 1 bis 12 weist ein als Gleitlager ausgebildetes, kombiniertes Radial-Axial-Lager auf.For the storage of the pivot axis 4 in the two housing shells two pivot bearing areas 6, 7 are provided, between which the adjusting mechanism 3 is arranged. The pivot bearing areas 6, 7 are designed in particular as radial bearings, but also as thrust bearings, for example for a shaft shoulder 20 on the pivot axis 5 or the hollow shaft 8 according to the invention. As bearing types or types are in particular ball, roller or sliding bearings into consideration. The tensioning device according to FIGS. 1 to 12 has a combined radial-axial bearing designed as a sliding bearing.

Um ein Spannwerkzeug 5 (beispielsweise den in Figur 1 dargestellten Spannarm) an der Schwenkachse 4 befestigen zu können, ist diese mindestens über einen Drehlagerbereich 6, 7 hinausragend ausgebildet (in Figur 2 ragt die Schwenkachse 4 über beide Drehlagerbereich 6, 7 hinaus, so dass an beiden Schwenkachsenenden ein Spannwerkzeug 5 angeordnet werden kann.In order to fasten a clamping tool 5 (for example, the clamping arm shown in Figure 1) to the pivot axis 4, this is at least over a pivot bearing portion 6, 7 protruding formed (in Figure 2, the pivot axis 4 projects beyond both pivot bearing portion 6, 7, so that At both pivot axis ends a clamping tool 5 can be arranged.

Wesentlich für die erfindungsgemäße Spannvorrichtung ist nun mit Verweis insbesondere auf die Figuren 3 bis 12, dass die Schwenkachse 4 aus einer Hohlwelle 8 und einer in dieser konzentrisch und zu dieser verdrehfest angeordneten Abtriebswelle 9 gebildet ist, wobei die Hohlwelle 8 gehäusebreit ausgebildet und in den Drehlagerbereichen 6, 7 verdrehbar gelagert ist und wobei die Abtriebswelle 9 zur Hohlwelle 8 axialverschieblich, aber an dieser fixierbar ausgebildet ist.Essential for the clamping device according to the invention is now with reference in particular to Figures 3 to 12, that the pivot axis 4 is formed of a hollow shaft 8 and a concentric and rotationally fixed to this output shaft 9, wherein the hollow shaft 8 is formed wide and in the pivot bearing areas 6, 7 is rotatably mounted and wherein the output shaft 9 to the hollow shaft 8 axially displaceable, but is designed to be fixable.

Wie bereits einleitend erwähnt, ist erfindungsgemäß also insbesondere vorgesehen, die nach dem Stand der Technik einteilige Schwenkachse 4 nunmehr zweiteilig auszubilden, um je nach Anordnung des Spannwerkzeugs 5 ohne großen Umrüstaufwand die Schwenkachse 4 optimal plazieren zu können.As already mentioned in the introduction, according to the invention is therefore provided in particular, the two-part form the one-piece pivot axis 4 according to the prior art, depending on the arrangement of the clamping tool 5 without large Umrüstaufwand the pivot axis 4 can optimally place.

Zur Betätigung der nunmehr zweiteiligen Schwenkachse 4 ist, wie inbesondere aus Figur 3 ersichtlich, an der Hohlwelle 8 ein mit der Stellmechanik 3 wirkverbundener Stellhebel 10 angeordnet. Dieser Stellhebel ist über ein Schleppglied 18 mit dem Stellglied 19 des Antriebselements 1 wirkverbunden, d. h. eine lineare Bewegung des Stellgliedes 19 führt in bekannter Weise zu einer Drehbewegung der Schwenkachse 4 bzw. der Hohlwelle 8.To actuate the now two-part pivot axis 4, as shown in particular in Figure 3, on the hollow shaft 8 operatively connected to the adjusting mechanism 3 lever 10 is arranged. This lever is operatively connected via a drag member 18 with the actuator 19 of the drive element 1, that is, a linear movement of the actuator 19 results in a known Way to a rotational movement of the pivot axis 4 and the hollow shaft. 8

Wie die an sich bekannte Schwenkachse 4 weist auch die Hohlwelle 8 zur ihrer Lagerung im Gebäuse 2 vorzugsweise zumindest an den Drehlagerbereichen 6, 7 eine zu diesen größenangepaßte, zylindrische Aussenkontur auf, d. h. an diesen Stellen ist sie, wie beispielsweise in Figur 6 dargestellt, in dem oben beschriebenen Radial-Axial-Lager gelagert. Eine Wellenschulter 20 an der Hohlwelle stützt sich beidseitig jeweils an den Lagern ab.Like the known pivot axis 4, the hollow shaft 8 for its storage in the housing 2 preferably at least at the pivot bearing areas 6, 7 to a size-matched, cylindrical outer contour, d. H. at these points it is, as shown for example in Figure 6, stored in the above-described radial-axial bearing. A shaft shoulder 20 on the hollow shaft is supported on both sides of the bearings.

Um einen formschlüssigen Verbund zwischen Hohlwelle 8 und Abtriebswelle 9 zu realisieren, weist die Hohlwelle 8 (siehe Figur 3) eine viereckige (quadratische) Innenquerschnittskontur auf. Dazu passend ist vorteilhaft vorgesehen, dass die Abtriebswelle 9 eine quadratische Aussenquerschnittskontur aufweist. Allgemein - also jeweils auf den speziellen Anwendungsfall angepaßt - ist vorgesehen, dass die beiden zueinander in Formschluss zu bringenden Konturen mindestens dreieckig bzw. mehreckig ausgebildet sind.In order to realize a positive connection between the hollow shaft 8 and the output shaft 9, the hollow shaft 8 (see FIG. 3) has a quadrangular (square) inner cross-sectional contour. Matching is advantageously provided that the output shaft 9 has a square outer cross-sectional contour. Generally - that is adapted to the specific application - it is provided that the two contours to be brought into positive engagement with one another are at least triangular or polygonal.

Zur Erleichterung der Montierbarkeit ist vorteilhaft vorgesehen, dass die Hohlwelle 8 in Axialrichtung aus zwei Hohlwellenteilstücken 11, 12 gebildet ist, die vorzugsweise mittels der in Figur 11 dargestellten Stifte 21 verdrehfest miteinander verbunden sind und etwa mittig im Gebäuse 2 miteinander in Verbindung stehen (siehe insbesondere die Trennlinie in Figur 6) .To facilitate the mountability is advantageously provided that the hollow shaft 8 in the axial direction of two hollow shaft sections 11, 12 is formed, which are preferably rotationally connected to each other by means of the pins 21 shown in Figure 11 and approximately centrally in the housing 2 with each other (see in particular the dividing line in FIG. 6).

Zur Axialfixierung der Abtriebswelle 9 ist vorteilhaft vorgesehen, dass innen an der Hohlwelle 8 mindestens eine Vertiefung 13 angeordnet ist; vorzugsweise allerdings mehrere Vertiefungen in Form eines Axialrasters, d. h. die Abtriebswelle 9 ist, wie in den Figuren 6 bis 10 dargestellt, an verschiedenen Relativpositionen zur Hohlwelle 8 positionier- und fixierbar.For Axialfixierung the output shaft 9 is advantageously provided that at least one recess 13 is disposed on the inside of the hollow shaft 8; However, preferably several recesses in the form of an axial grid, ie the output shaft 9 is, as shown in Figures 6 to 10, at different relative positions to the hollow shaft 8 can be positioned and fixed.

Abtriebswellenseitig ist demenstsprechend vorgesehen, dass die Abtriebswelle 9 einen Befestigungsmechanismus 14 aufweist. Dieser weist vorzugsweise mindestens ein an der Abtriebswelle 9 angeordnetes, mit der Vertiefung an der Hohlwelle 8 in Formschluss bringbares Verrastungselement 15 auf, wobei dieses vorzugs- und beispielsweise als mindestens eine Kugel ausgebildet ist, die in Verrastungsposition in die vorzugsweise kugelabschnittsförmige Vertiefungen 14 eingreift.Output shaft side is demenstsprechend provided that the output shaft 9 has a fastening mechanism 14. This preferably has at least one arranged on the output shaft 9, engageable with the recess on the hollow shaft 8 in positive engagement latching element 15, this vorzugs- and, for example, is formed as at least one ball which engages in Verrastungsposition in the preferably spherical portion recesses 14.

Um das Verrastungselement 15 auf einfache Weise betätigen zu können, ist, wie insbesondere in den Figuren 4 und 5 dargestellt, vorteilhaft vorgesehen, dass an der Abtriebswelle 9 ein von einer Seite aus frei zugängliches und betätigbares Verstellelement 16 angeordnet ist, das mit dem Verrastungselement 15 wirkverbunden ist und bei Axialverstellung eine Radialverstellung des Verrastungselements 15 bewirkt. Das Verstellelement 16 ist dabei vorzugsweise schraubenförmig ausgebildet und in einer an der Abtriebswelle 9 vorgesehenen Gewindebohrung 17 angeordnet, wobei das verrastungselementseitige Ende des schraubenförmigen Verstellelements 16 konisch ausgebildet und mit dem Verrastungselement 15 wirkverbunden ist.In order to be able to actuate the latching element 15 in a simple manner, it is advantageously provided, as shown in particular in FIGS. 4 and 5, that an adjusting element 16 which is freely accessible and actuatable from the one side is arranged on the output shaft 9, which is connected to the latching element 15 is operatively connected and causes axial adjustment of a radial adjustment of Verrastungselements 15. The adjusting element 16 is preferably helical and arranged in a provided on the output shaft 9 threaded hole 17, wherein the Verrastungselementseitige end of the helical adjusting element 16 is conical and is operatively connected to the Verrastungselement 15.

Zur Justage der Abtriebswelle 9 wird diese also zunächst in die Hohlwelle 8 eingesteckt. Beispielsweise mittels eines Imbusschlüssels kann dann das von einer Seite der Abtriebswelle 9 zugängliche, schraubenförmige Verstellelement 16 gedreht und damit bezüglich der Abtriebswelle 9 axial verschoben werden. Durch diese Axialverschiebung und die konische Ausbildung des Verstellelements 16 werden die kugelförmigen Verrastungselemente 15 radial auseinander gepresst. Wie aus den Figuren 6 bis 10 ersichtlich, kann die Abtriebswelle 9 somit aufgrund der rasterförmig angeordneten Vertiefungen 13 in unterschiedlichsten Positionen fixiert werden.For adjusting the output shaft 9, this is thus first inserted into the hollow shaft 8. For example, by means of a Allen key, the helical adjusting element 16 accessible from one side of the output shaft 9 can then be rotated and thus axially displaced with respect to the output shaft 9. By this axial displacement and the conical design of the adjusting element 16, the spherical locking elements 15 are pressed radially apart. As can be seen from Figures 6 to 10, the output shaft 9 can thus be fixed in a variety of positions due to the grid-shaped recesses 13.
