A control device for reducing or increasing its power is assigned to the vibration exciter 5 . As a result, its performance or the intensity of the vibration or oscillations and the size of the amplitudes can either be reduced or increased and thus adjusted. A power controller 71 for automatic control of a preferably constant power and / or a preferably manually adjustable control device 72 can be provided, with which the power or the amount of drive energy that can be supplied to the vibration exciter 5 can be varied and reduced and enlarged and can be adjusted automatically or in steps or continuously by means of a manual adjusting device 73 . This allows the performance of the treatment instrument to be performed, e.g. B. rough and fine work or rough, medium and fine work or to different types of treatment and / or in terms of shape and / or size and / or coarse and fine or coarse, medium and / or fine effectiveness different tools 7 are adapted .

The manually operable adjusting device 73 has an adjusting member 74 , which is manually accessible from the outside and is adjustable axially or in the circumferential direction and is in drive connection with the control device 72 or forms a control device. In the present embodiment, the adjusting member 74 is an adjusting sleeve 74 a which preferably surrounds the handpiece 2 in its rear region and in particular is sunk in an annular recess 75 forming a ring guide and is axially or preferably adjustable in the circumferential direction. In the present embodiment, the ring recess 75 is delimited on the back by a shoulder surface of the screw-in sleeve 54 . From the inner surface of the adjusting sleeve 74 a protrudes a support web 76 radially inward, which extends over part of the circumference and slots 77 a, 77 b in the sleeve housing 41 and the components arranged radially inward, here in the coupling sleeve 49 and in the bearing ring 51 , grasped with motion play and at its inner end carries a segment 78 which extends over a portion of the circumference and which has on one side an inclined or curved surface 79 which cooperates with an adjusting member 81 which is operatively connected to the control device 72 , such as it shows Fig. 3 schematically and Fig. 1 and 2 as an embodiment. The inclined or curved surface 79 can be arranged on the front and rear on the segment 78 . In the present embodiment, in which the adjusting member 74 is located in the rear end portion of the handpiece 2, the inclined or curved surface 79 is disposed on the front side, and the adjusting member 81 is an axially displaceably mounted in a guide 82 adjusting pin 81 a, the one by the force Spring, here a compression spring is acted against the inclined or curved surface 79 and is thus able to tap it when the adjusting member 74 is turned back and forth. The guide 82 can be formed by an axially parallel bore in the non-rotatably mounted coupling sleeve 49 .

The adjusting device 73 can be adjusted in steps or continuously. In both cases it is advantageous to assign the adjustment device 73, a fixing device 83, which allows a determination of the setting device 73 in the respectively set position and thereby prevents an inadvertent adjustment. This can be a braking device which, due to its sluggishness, prevents an unintentional adjustment of the adjusting member 74 . In the present embodiment, a snap-on locking device 84 is provided with a locking element 85 , which is preferably formed by a ball and is guided in a radially movable manner and which, when the adjusting sleeve 74 a is rotated in spherical caps 86, can be manually pushed over and locked out, which on an outer lateral surface of the coupling sleeve 49 in The circumferential direction are arranged one behind the other, here in the bottom of the groove or slot 77 b. The locking element 85 can be radially displaceably mounted in a radial bore in the supporting web 76 and can be prestressed against the domes 86 by a compression spring 88 arranged in the bore. The adjusting member 81 acts on the vibration exciter 5 , the performance of which can be adjusted, so that its power can be optionally increased or decreased with the adjusting member 74 .

In the present exemplary embodiment, in which the vibration exciter 5 can be pneumatically driven or excited, the control device 72 can have a control valve 65 for the purpose of controlling the pressure p1 acting on the vibration exciter 5 . Here, the setting member 74 can be connected directly or indirectly to a valve slide 66 , which controls the size of a valve opening 67 as a function of the setting of the setting member 74 . The valve opening 67 is located in the feed line 15 , here downstream of the coupling pin 16 b in the region of the angle channel 15 b. To reduce the vibration power, the valve slide 66 is moved with the adjusting device 73 in the sense of reducing the valve opening 67 , in the present exemplary embodiment forwards, so that the valve opening 67 reduces the pressure p1 present at the vibration exciter 5 in the sense of an adjustable throttle. To increase the output, the valve opening 67 is enlarged in the opposite sense, as a result of which a greater pressure p1 is set. The adjustment member 74 can be returned by a return spring which prestresses the adjustment member 74 against the inclined or curved surface 79 .

It is advantageous, in addition to or instead of the control device 72 for adjusting the pending pressure p1 an automatic pressure regulating device 71 a with a pressure regulating valve 71 b provide machine or independently from the existing operating pressure p 2 in the supply line portion 15 a has a substantially constant effective pressure p1 sets. As a result, even with considerable tolerances of the effective pressure p1, essentially the same working conditions and an approximately comparable power or intensity of the tool 7 when the treatment instrument is connected to supply lines 18 and supply devices with different operating pressures p2, in particular from different manufacturers, are achieved.

Both in the presence of a control valve 65 and a control valve 71 b, the valve slide 66 is arranged in the feed line 15 , here in the axially parallel feed line section 15 b, preferably mounted longitudinally therein, the valve opening 67 being controllable by an end face of the valve slide 66 . The valve slide 66 can also have a cup-shaped shape, wherein the valve opening 67 can be arranged in the peripheral wall of the pot shape.

In the present exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3, a control device 72 or a manual setting device 73 in combination with a pressure control valve 71 b are provided. The valve slide 66 is acted upon by the effective pressure p1 on one end face and biased in the opposite direction into its open position by means of a compression spring 68 on its other end face. In the present embodiment, the valve slide 66 is a round or non-round cup-shaped sleeve with a bottom wall 66 a at its end facing away from the vibration exciter 5 . The valve opening 67 is arranged in the radially inner circumferential wall 66 b cooperating with the radial section of the feed line section 15 b. In the open position, the valve slide 66 is tensioned by the spring 68 against a stop 66 c, here the pipe socket 48 . The valve spool 66, a spring pin 66 extends rearwardly d, on which the compression spring 68 and is seated against a rear abutment 69, here against the adjusting member 81, supported.

In functional operation, the compressed air flows from the feed line section 15 b through the annular gap present at the rear end into the cavity 61 of the sleeve-shaped vibrating rod 4 a, which has one or more radial and / or secantial flow-through holes 63 in the area thereof in the middle area and in front of the end sleeve 62 the vibrating rod 4 a is surrounded with radial motion of a wobble or vibration sleeve 64 a is arranged with axial movement play between two stops 64, each defined by a ring of elastic material, such. B. an O-ring can be formed, which sits in an annular groove in the vibrating rod 4 a. During the flow through the gap between the vibrating rod 4 a and the vibrating sleeve 64 , the latter is vibrated, which it transmits to the vibrating rod by mechanical striking. The gap is dimensioned so large that the vibration sleeve 64 does not strike the inner wall of the sleeve 43 surrounding it. From the annular space 43 a, the air and exhaust air flows through a between the vibrating rod 4 a and the front end portion of the sleeve 43 disposed air-permeable support ring 43 b, which may be perforated and made of elastic or resilient material such as plastic or air-permeable material such. B. felt can exist in the free cavity 41 b of the sleeve housing 41 and through a suitable rear opening (not shown) in the sleeve housing 41 to the outside or z. B. through the channel 44 a and through a suitable discharge channel in the coupling pin 16 b back into the open. The support ring 43 b is axially fixed, here between an optionally conical shoulder surface on the vibrating rod 4 a and an inner flange of the sleeve 43 .

The sleeve 43 forms in connection with the support ring 43 b an inner housing or an encapsulation of the vibration exciter 5 , whereby a substantial reduction in noise is achieved in a simple and inexpensive manner.

Valve port 67 is an adjustable throttle that creates a pressure drop that determines the effective pressure p1. If the operating pressure p2 is greater or less than a certain value, the pressure p1, which generates the pressure force Fd acting on the valve slide 66 against the spring 68 , also changes first, the position of the opening edge 66 e determining the size of the valve opening 67 and thus the size of the throttle, which generates the effective pressure p1, is determined by the balance of the spring force and the pressure force Fd. In functional operation, the valve slide 66 assumes a functional position removed from the illustrated stop position (inoperative position), in which, for. B. at an average operating pressure p2, the valve opening 67 assumes a size in the central region. At a lower operating pressure p2, the valve slide 66 is moved into an equilibrium position (here to the left), in which it controls a larger valve opening 67 . At an increased operating pressure p2, the valve slide 66 assumes an equilibrium position (shifted to the right here) in which it controls a smaller valve opening 67 . Because of this feature, the control valve 71 automatically controls at b in a determinable pressure range different operating pressures a pending substantially constant pressure p1. This pressure control works both when an adjusting device 73 or another control device 72 is missing, and when - as in the present exemplary embodiment - the pressure or power controller 71 is arranged in combination with the adjusting device 73 or another control device 72 or else when - as in the present exemplary embodiment - the manual setting device 73 or another control device 72 acts on the pressure control valve 71 b or on its valve slide 66 . There is preferably a common valve opening 67 for the pressure control valve 71 b and the manual setting device 73 or another control device 72 . As a result, the construction and manufacturing costs are considerably reduced and the construction is simplified.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the biasing force of the valve spring 68 is changed by means of the adjusting device 73, namely increased for high power requirements and reduced for lower power requirements. With a higher power requirement, the adjusting member 81 is thus displaced in the direction of the control or regulating valve 65 , 71 b and, in the case of a lower power requirement, is moved away from the control or regulating valve 65 , 71 b, ie moved to the rear, which is illustrated by the reference symbols Fmin and Fmax. In the present exemplary embodiment, the power of the power regulator 71 is changed by means of the adjusting device 73 in the sense of an increase or decrease in the power that can be output on the tool 7, specifically regardless of the size of the operating pressure p2. In a possible embodiment within the scope of the invention without a control valve 71 b, the power can also be selectively reduced and increased by means of the manual adjusting device 73 or another control device 75 , depending on the existing operating pressure p2, the adjusting member 81 also acting on the valve slide 66 of the now a control valve 65 executing a control function acts. For this purpose, the adjusting member 81 can be connected directly to the valve slide 66 , for. B. may be formed by a spring mandrel 66 d in a required length.

As a result, the treatment instrument 1 can be used not only for different treatment methods but also for tools 7 of different shape and / or size and / or abrasive abrasion capacity, e.g. B. coarse and fine or coarse, medium and fine, adjust, a coordination taking into account tools 7 of different masses and / or shapes is possible. In addition, with the setting device 73 according to the invention, mutually interfering vibration states can be largely eliminated by changing the vibration amplitudes.

The main direction of the vibration amplitude is essentially transverse to the vibrating part 4 a and thus essentially in the longitudinal direction of the tool 7 . Due to the radial and axial elastically resilient mounting of the vibrating part 4 a, however, spatial vibrations caused by resonances occur, so that the tool 7 is also abrasive in the transverse direction.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the oscillation or vibration drive has a frequency in the sound or ultrasound range of approximately 4 to 8 kHz, preferably approximately 6 kHz, with an amplitude of the spatial movements of approximately 0.05 mm to in the area of the tool 7 0.2 mm, in particular about 0.1 mm.

The treatment instrument according to the invention is therefore particularly well suited for different tools 7 which are assigned to the treatment instrument as a range of tools and which differ from one another due to their different shape and / or size and / or intended purpose.

The holding device 6 according to the invention not only enables a secure mounting of the tool 7 on the handpiece shank 25, but also a lightweight, handling-friendly and fast clamping or solution of the tool. 7 To release and move the securing part 29 out of the securing recess 28 , an actuating member 91 is movably mounted in a guide in the front end region of the handpiece shaft 25 between a ready position and a releasing position. The actuating member 91 is directly or indirectly connected to the securing part 29 , its direction of movement between the ready position and the release position being parallel to the direction of movement of the securing part 29 , ie radially directed with respect to the tool shank 8 . In the present exemplary embodiment, the actuating member is an actuating slide 92 , which is manually accessible laterally and / or from the side of the handpiece shaft 25 facing away from the tool 7 , and preferably through an actuating sleeve made of plastic or preferably metal, which surrounds the tool shaft 25 and can be displaced thereon in the longitudinal direction thereof is formed, the hollow cylindrical outer surface of the handpiece shaft 25 forming a longitudinal guide 93 for the actuating slide 92 . According to Fig. 4, the actuating sleeve 92 is a such a length that it protrudes beyond the plug hole 27 on both sides, being a plug-in recess 94 having 7-facing side in alignment with the insertion hole 27 on its side facing the tool, taking into account of the displacement of the actuating sleeve 92 a is formed by an elongated hole that can run out towards the back of the actuating sleeve 92 a in the form of a slot.

This creates a rotation lock for the actuating sleeve 92 a. On the central area of the cross pin 96 , the securing part 29 is seated with a corresponding cross hole 99 , which in the present exemplary embodiment is designed in a stepped manner for the caps 97 . The securing part 29 is located in a coaxial receiving hole 101 which runs out to the front in the handpiece shaft 25 , in the front region of which an internal thread is arranged. The securing part 29 has on its rear side a securing lug 29 a in the form of a rounded dome, the flanks of which can be so steep that an overpressure of the locking device 102 formed in this way is not possible due to axial pull on the tool 7 or can run so flat that a automatic displacement of the locking lug 29 a from the locking recess 28 by pulling the tool 7 is possible. At the front, the securing part 29 is designed with an annular bead as a spring plate 103 , a compression spring 104 being arranged between the spring plate 103 and a spring plate 105 on a screw cap 106 screwed into the receiving hole 101 . The screw cover 106 can be covered on the front side by a preferably convexly rounded cap 107, preferably made of plastic, which is locked on the screw cover 106 by a locking pin 109 which fits into a locking hole 108 . The latter has a tool engagement element for screwing in and unscrewing, here two axially parallel blind holes 111 , into which a tool with corresponding driver pins can be inserted. To seal the longitudinal guide 93 , sealing rings 112 are preferably provided in the form of O-rings on both sides of the plug hole 27 , which are arranged in ring grooves which are located in the outer lateral surface of the handpiece shaft 25 or in the inner lateral surface of the actuating sleeve 92 a. The back base of the slots 98 forms a stop 98 a for the rearward movement of the securing part 29 , in which the securing lug 29 a protrudes into the plug hole 27 . The latching device 102 for the tool shank 8, which has already been described so far, is functional and advantageous for reasons of advantageous and simple handling and secure mounting. When the tool shank 8 is inserted into the plug hole 27 , the latching or securing nose 29 a is displaced into its release position by means of an insertion slope 113 or rounding, which is preferably also present at the free end of the tool shank 8 , so that the tool shank 8 can be pushed in further until it is free Strikes the end of the inner wall of the actuating sleeve 92 a. In this position, the securing lug 29 a automatically springs into the associated securing recess 28 , the surfaces of the securing recess 28 preferably forming the movement stop in the securing position.

If the securing recess 28 is formed by an annular groove, there is a holder for the tool shank 8 , in which a rotation of the tool in the holding device 6 is possible, an unrestrained, ie free rotation, is also ensured when the stop 98 a so is arranged that the locking lug 29 a fits into the annular groove, but does not press or only slightly against the annular groove base.

In the present embodiment with a plurality of spherical caps 31 distributed over the circumference, a rotational position adjusting device 114 is provided which enables different rotational positions of the tool 7 in that the latching in the respective spherical cap 31 forms a rotational lock.

It is possible to design this rotational position adjusting device 114 in such a way that when a certain torque is exceeded, the latching device 110 is automatically overpressed and the securing lug 29 a is pushed out of the associated calotte 31 automatically. As a result, it is only necessary to adapt the flank 29 b of the securing lug 29 a and / or the conical surfaces of the domes 31 to a specific angle at which the locking device 110 is to be released automatically, taking into account the specific torque.

For arbitrarily releasing the locking device 102 , e.g. B. if a tool 7 is to be loosened or replaced, the actuating member 91 is manually pushed forward by finger pressure in the direction of arrow 115 against the force of the spring 104 , the latching device 102 being released and the tool shaft 8 being pulled out of the holding device 6 can.
