'' Magazine for sorting, filing and stacking workpieces from the working position of a machine tool '

The object of the invention relates to a magazine for Sorting, depositing and stacking workpieces, in particular precision parts, from the working position of a machine tool, such as lathes, drilling machines, automatic lathes, automatic parting off machines or the like. Machines in connection with tapping devices in Form of grippers, conveyor belts, chains or screens.

Machine tools, to which lathes, drills, automatic lathes, Digging machines or the like belong to the general state of the art. Workpieces are made on these machines processed, and after processing the same fall into baskets od. Other containers od. For example, are also manually removed and stacked.

In the case of the known, there are considerable disadvantages in sorting and depositing and stacking workpieces if these workpieces are so-called precision parts,

509809/0043

Well-known, precision parts have a finely machined, or highly polished dd. like surface. When filing such Precision parts with very sensitive surfaces result easy damage, which makes the individual workpieces unusable and the category of scrap counting.

The inventor has now become aware of the identified shortcomings set the task of disclosing an improved device in which the aforementioned disadvantages no longer occur.

The object set is achieved according to the invention by a Support frame with a holding device at the upper end tiltable, rotatable and height-adjustable removable insert basket, where the same is a number of adjacent and superimposed, has front open, but provided with a bottom compartments and mediated by one od. Several drive unit (s) a control device can be moved into any position in two planes.

Appropriately, the magazine according to the invention, consisting of the support frame with which can be adjusted and moved in three planes arranged insert basket, designed as a separate unit be, the support frame in the form of a stand frame a base plate arranged at the lower end, a tripod or the like. with / without rollers. In this case it will

Magazine placed as a separate unit next to the machine tool. The switch cabinet can be built into the foot. It exists but also the possibility of the magazine according to the invention directly to be connected with the machine tool to form a complete unit. In this case, the magazine is a so-called attachment. Most of the time, the support frame at the lower end has a connection flange or the like. This connection flange serves to connect the attachment to the machine tool.

The support frame according to the invention can therefore be in the form of a royal column or a frame can be designed as desired. It is only important that both the royal column as well as the frame! is adjustable in height. The height adjustment is carried out at random by means of a telescope construction.

Dsr insert basket can be in the form of a square, rectangular od. Round frame od. The like. With a number of side by side and one above the other arranged compartments, which are fixed od. Detachable with the Insert basket are connected, provided with a solid bottom and front Openings, be formed.

The insert basket according to the invention has two right on the back in a plane to each other on brackets, ωα-bei each holder a separate Spindfeieinrichtung or the like. owns.

This training of the combat carb is necessary in order to achieve the same to be able to move horizontally and vertically. The two rear brackets are in a separate one Retaining bracket, which can be pivoted at the upper end of the frame is hinged, introduced.

According to the invention, the removable one with the magazine, consisting of the support frame and the pivotable in three planes Insert basket, in functional l / connection standing Control device designed so constructively that the same the working rhythm of the insert basket when filling the individual Compartments via pulse generator or independently controlled by the machine tool.

Further advantageous embodiments of the subject matter according to the invention and details of the invention can be derived from the embodiment shown in the drawing and described below remove.

According to the drawing, the machine tool is shown only schematically denoted by 1. A tapping device in the form of an endless conveyor belt 2 is fixed to the machine tool 1 arranged. The connection of the tapping device 2 to the machine tool 1 takes place by means of screws or the like.

Next to the machine tool 1, namely behind the conveyor belt 2,

the magazine 3 according to the invention is set up as a separate unit. The magazine 3 shows a rack. In the present case, it is a telescopic king column k, which has a base plate 5 at the lower end, whereby the honey column k and base plate 5 form a stand. The king column k is, as already stated at the outset, telescopic and therefore adjustable in height.

At the upper end k 'of the king column k a known link 6 is provided. The joint 6 is firmly connected to a retaining bracket 7. The brackets 8, 9 are arranged on the retaining bracket 7, the brackets 8, 9 being designed like a frame and lying at right angles to one another in a plane. Separate spindles 10, 11 are arranged in the frame-like holders 8, 9. The spindles 1G, 11 have a spindle nut, not shown. This spindle nut is firmly connected to the insert basket 12 on the rear. In the present case, the insert basket 12 is designed like a frame in a rectangular shape. It has compartments 13 lying next to and on top of one another. These compartments 13 are closed on the back by a bottom, not shown, and are open on the front. The folders 13 are used for filing and sorting precision parts or the like. The compartments 13 can consist of metal strips, a wire screen or the like. With the insert basket 12, the compartments 13 can firmly ad. be releasably connected. The machine tool 1 and the magazine

are via control cable 14 with the interposition of a control device 15 in the farm of a known closet in functional connection. The control device 15 receives through Control pulses from the machine tool 1 commands. The spindles 10, 11 are driven by drive motors 15, 17 via a worm drive ad. hydraulically, pneumatically or similar tools driven.

As can be seen from the attached schematic diagram, the object of the invention is used to produce parts by means of the tapping device, z. B. gripper, conveyor belt, chain or sieve individually from the work position of the machine tool or the like and to be arranged in a separate storage compartment.

The subject matter of the invention was developed in particular for such individual cases Developed where high-quality and therefore carefully treated parts are not put in a container or chip box may fall on top of each other, as this will damage them. So far you only have to have one worker for such parts busy taking the finished parts out of the working position of the machine tool one at a time and at the same time also manually separate the parts from the chips. Here sets the Ratianalisierungseffekt one, since the magazine in connection with the tapping device, sorting, filing and stacking takes over independently and fully automatically. The insert basket with the The storage compartments are interchangeable, and this can be done during the work flow can be done at any time.

The way of working is tricky

The subject of the invention is ad. depends on ad. next to the Machine tool 1. Depending on the space available, the insert basket 12 horizontal ad. vertically or in any arbitrary Zuischsnpasitian be adjusted, d. that is, you can adapt the same 12 individually to the space available. He is set so that the bottom row of storage compartments 13 is filled will. The horizontally lying threaded spindle 11 of the coordinate crossB transports the insert carbide 12 after each completion and depositing a part (impulse from the machine tool 1) one step further, so that there is always an empty one Tray 13 is available. If his whole row of filing TVs 13 is filled, the drive 17 of the vertical threaded spindle 10 switches on automatically and lowers the insert carbide 12 by one shelf height. Then this row is also filled. This work rhythm is repeated until all compartments 13 of the insert basket 12 are filled with parts. Of the Insert basket 12 can be exchanged for a new one at any time, including during the ongoing work process. Is am Basket 12 is completely filled, the object of the invention and the machine tool 1 switched off, or. in an embodiment with several baskets 12, the baskets 12 are automatically rotated until Again an empty basket 12 comes to stand in front of the machine 1.

The advantages of the subject matter of the invention over the known are the following:
