Definitions
- the invention relates to a multiple clutch device for producing a releasable connection between a fluid pressure medium leading, a fluid pressure generator associated generator side fluid lines and at least one 5 fluid consumer associated consumer-side fluid lines, with a first coupling part having a plurality of first fluid connections for the generator side fluid lines, and with a second coupling part, which has a plurality of second fluid connections for the consumer-side fluid lines lo, wherein the two coupling parts in the coupling process by mutual approach to each other in the direction of an installation axis into a working position can be converted, in the opposite joining surfaces of the coupling parts abut each other and in which the two coupling - i5 parts are secured by means of holding against automatic uncoupling.
- a leaf spring with a s inwardly projecting nose may be provided on an outer side of the first coupling part, which in the coupling pelts in a recess provided for this purpose engages the second coupling part.
- the object of the invention is to provide a multiple clutch device of the type mentioned, in which the coupling process with relatively little effort by hand is feasible.
- the multiple-clutch device is characterized in that a manually operable actuating device is provided, by means of which the coupling parts from a standby position in which the coupling parts are releasably in contact and the joining surfaces spaced from each other, via Kraftüber GmbHsstoff in the working position be transferred are.
- the coupling process is thus supported by force translating means, so that the coupling is possible by hand without much effort.
- the flow direction of the fluid flowing through the coupling device runs parallel to the installation axis of the two coupling parts, whereby the coupling process, in which the coupling parts are approached in the direction of the installation axis, is hindered by the fluid pressure.
- the undesirable in coupling counter-pressure in Entkupplungsoplasty can occur on the generator-side first coupling part, for example, when the pressure generator is not switched off and pressure medium flows out. It is also possible that the counter-pressure on the consumer-side second coupling part occurs, which is expediently provided with at least one non-return closure member, in particular check valve.
- the non-return closure member can close automatically during the uncoupling process, so that possibly still required fluid pressure is maintained at the consumer.
- the non-return closure member can be opened, in particular, by means of a connection piece correspondingly provided on the first coupling part in order to create a fluid passage over the coupling device.
- the non-return closure member is held in its closed position by means of spring force and by means of consumer-side fluid pressure, so that a relatively large force has to be expended for opening. With multiple non-return closure members, the force required is even greater. About the actuator and its power transmission means, however, a relatively simple opening of this non-return closure members is made possible, so that sufficient force on the actuator hand force.
- fluidic pressure medium in the context of the invention is understood in particular compressed air. However, other gaseous or hydraulic pressure media can be used.
- the coupling and uncoupling of pressurized fluid lines are daily repetitive operations. When carelessly uncoupling cause slipping fluid lines, especially compressed air hoses, often not inconsiderable property or even personal injury.
- a catch position is provided between the standby position and the working position of the two coupling parts, in which the opposite joining surfaces spaced from each other and the coupling parts are inextricably linked. Although a venting process can take place in this position, the pressure forces which occur in the uncoupling direction do not cause the two coupling parts to separate from one another, but instead are still mechanically coupled to one another in the catching position.
- the force transmission means have at least one guideway on which at least one guide element is forcibly guided upon actuation of the actuating device, wherein the guideway has such a trajectory that the coupling parts approached each other during coupling and spaced apart when decoupling.
- the trajectory indicates the force transmission ratio between the force applied to the actuator hand force and the transmitted from the actuator to the two coupling parts in the direction of the installation axis coupling forces.
- the guideway may include a clutch / disengagement section associated with the ready position of the clutch parts, in which the at least one guide element may be brought out of contact with the associated guideway for contact with or for purposes of decoupling.
- the guide track can have a holding section assigned in the working position of the coupling parts, in which the guide element secures the two coupling parts against automatic uncoupling.
- a pitch section can be provided, in which the guide element is transferred between the coupling / uncoupling section and the holding section.
- a further functional section of the guideway is provided, namely a securing section formed between the coupling / uncoupling section and the holding section and associated with the catching position of the two coupling parts.
- the guide element can be positioned such that the two coupling parts are secured against uncoupling at spaced joining surfaces.
- the guide element engages in a latching notch of the securing section.
- the guideway may be formed on the generator-side first coupling part and the guide element corresponding thereto on the actuating device.
- the guide track on the actuating device and the guide element is provided corresponding thereto on the generator-side first coupling part.
- the guide track is formed on a groove-like guide slot provided on the first coupling part or on the actuating device, preferably a groove, in particular on one of the groove flanks of the groove.
- the actuating device prefferably be embodied in such a way that it can be moved transversely to the installation axis between a coupling / uncoupling position assigned to the ready position of the two coupling parts and a detent position assigned to the working position of the two coupling parts.
- the force for the coupling or uncoupling can therefore be transmitted by means of a linear movement of the actuator.
- the actuating device is designed such that it can be moved by means of a rotation movement with the installation axis as the axis of rotation between one of the ready position of the two coupling parts associated coupling / uncoupling position and a working position of the two coupling parts associated detent position.
- the force for coupling or decoupling can thus be transmitted by means of a rotational or rotational movement of the actuator.
- the actuating device can be designed in such a way that, by means of a pivoting movement about a pivot axis running essentially perpendicular to the installation axis, it can be moved between one of the ready-to-use axes.
- Shaft position of the two coupling parts associated coupling / decoupling division and the working position of the two coupling parts associated detent position is pivotable. The force for coupling or decoupling can thus be initiated by means of a pivoting movement of the actuator.

- the end of the first actuating pin 82 protruding from the underside of the outer ring 96 comes into contact with the groove base of the annular groove 99, as a result of which the actuating pin 82 is pushed upwards.
- the actuating pin 82 is thus displaced upwardly in the guide channel 103, whereby it is pivoted about the coupling of the actuating pin 82 to the pivot lever 87 in the clockwise direction.
- the second actuating pin 83 associated with the pivot arm 108 of the pivot lever 87 presses the second actuating pin 83 against the force of the spring 111 down, whereby the second actuating pin 83 extends out of the locking opening on the first coupling part 12.
- the adjusting ring 52 can then be rotated relative to the first coupling part 12, the guide pins 50 sliding along the guide curve 35 on the second coupling part 14, whereby the first coupling part 12 moves from its ready position 23 is transferred to working position 22.
- a decoupling of the adjusting ring 52 and the first coupling part 12 has the advantage that upon rotation of the adjusting ring 52, the first coupling part 12 and consequently optionally connected fluid hoses are not rotated with it. This prevents a twisting of the fluid hose and an associated restoring force against the direction of rotation.
- a third embodiment of the coupling device 11 is shown. It is a first coupling part 12 is provided, which is designed in the manner of a cuboid box and the second coupling part 14 which is formed in the manner of a cuboid block surrounds. That is, the first one Clutch part 12 can be inserted over the second coupling part 14.
- the first coupling part 12 has raster-like first fluid connections in the form of fluid channels 13 into which connection sleeves 18 are inserted. These correspond to second fluid connections on the second coupling part 14, which are likewise designed as fluid channels 15 and are integrated into the check valves 20.
- the actuator 28 has a handle bracket 55, by means of a pivoting movement about a substantially perpendicular to the installation axis 21 extending pivot axis 56 between one of the standby position 24 of the two coupling parts 12, 14 associated clutch / disengage position 26 and one of the working position 22 of the two coupling parts 12, 14 associated locking position 27 is pivotable.
- the handle bracket 55 has a Schwenkachsêt 57 which is pivotally mounted in the second coupling part 14 and indeed inserted through a through opening, so that it protrudes on both sides of the second coupling part 14.
- adjusting disks 58 are mounted on the pivot axis body 57 in a linearly displaceable manner on the projecting regions of the pivoting axle body 57. As shown in FIGS. 21 to 23, the adjusting disks 58 have a circular-segment-like shape.
- a guide track in the form of a guide cam 35, to which a guide pin 50 protruding inward on the inside of the first coupling part 12 can dip.
- the positioning Ben 58 are as mentioned slidably mounted on the Schwenkachsêt 57, wherein they are each displaceable upon pivoting of the handle bracket 55 between a guide of the guide pin on the associated guide curve 35 permitted release 5 ment and blocking the leadership of the guide pin blocking position.
- the adjusting discs 58 are held by means mounted on the screw body 57 spring means, in particular compression springs 75 in their blocking position.
- a respective compression spring 75 is supported at one end on the second coupling part 14 and pushes the adjusting disc 58 assigned to it outwards, so that the respective guide pin 50 engages the first coupling part 12 in a detent receptacle 63 provided for this purpose, so that its sliding along the associated guide curve 35 is prevented.
- the handle bracket 55 can not be pivoted therefore.
- the handle bracket 55 further has an outer part 64 which is rotatably connected to the Schwenkachsk ⁇ rper 57.
- the outer part 64 may have a particularly semi-cylindrical ausgestalte-
- the inner part 67 which serves to adjust the adjusting discs 58 against the spring force of the compression springs 75 in the release position.
- the inner part 67 has a likewise semi-cylindrical cross member 68, which can complete with the cross member 65 of the outer part 64 to a well tangible vollzylind- 0 cal cross bar.
- two band-like longitudinal beams 69 are attached, which in turn each, attached to their outer sides, a guide body 70 with passage opening for the associated longitudinal spar 66 of the outer part 64 have.
- a slot 71 is formed via which the longitudinal beam 69 is fitted on the Schwenkachsêt 57.
- the front end of each longitudinal spar 69 is wedge-shaped and although widened the longitudinal spar 69 to the front end.
- the end coupling process is shown in FIGS. 21 to 24.
- the handle 55 is initially in its upper position, i. in its locking position 27, wherein the two coupling parts 12, 14 with their joining surfaces 17, 19 lie on one another.
- the guide pins 50 on the first coupling part 12 are located in the holding portion 44 and indeed engaged in the locking receptacle 63.
- the guide pin 50 is spaced from the pivot axis 56 with radius Ri.
- the two transverse bars 65, 68 of outer and inner part 64, 67 are spaced apart, wherein the wedges 72 at the end of the longitudinal members 69 are disengaged from the adjusting discs 58.
- the inner part 67 is used to the outer part 64 by compressing the two transverse bars 65, 68.
- the inner part 67 shifts toward the outer part 64, with the result that the two wedges 72 press on the adjusting disks 58 on the Schwenkachsharm 57.
- the adjusting discs 58 are pressed against the spring force of the compression spring 75 inwardly, whereby the guide pins 50 disengage from their locking receptacles 63, so that it is possible that they slide on the associated guide curve 35 along.
- a respective guide pin 15 then passes over a short pitch section to the securing portion 41 where it engages in the detent notch 60 provided for this purpose.
- the coupling process takes place in the reverse manner, wherein the coupling force for coupling the two coupling parts 12, 14 is applied by pivoting the handle bracket 55 by hand.
