Description

MesserwelleKnife shaft

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Messerwelle für spanabhebende Holzbearbeitungsmaschinen, insbesondere Hobelmaschinen, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a knife shaft for cutting woodworking machines, in particular planing machines, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Bei Holzzerspanungsmaschinen hat man schon vor etlichen Jahren begonnen, billige Einwegmesser einzusetzen, um das zeitraubende Nachschleifen der Messer zu vermeiden. Durch die DE-OS 25 59 406, die dem Obergriff des Patent­anspruchs 1 zugrundeliegt, ist es auch schon bekannt, profilierte Einwegmesser zu verwenden, die nach Art einer Nut- und Federverbindung formschlüssig in entsprechend profilierte Gegenflächen eingreifen und im Vergleich zu den schon früher bekannten, gelochten Einwegmessern exakter fixierbar und leichter austauschbar sind.Wood cutting machines started using cheap disposable knives several years ago to avoid the time-consuming regrinding of the knives. From DE-OS 25 59 406, which is based on the upper handle of claim 1, it is also known to use profiled disposable knives which engage in a form-fitting manner in tongue-and-groove connections in correspondingly profiled counter surfaces and in comparison to those previously known , perforated disposable knives are more precisely fixable and easier to replace.

Gemäß der angegebenen DE-OS liegt der Fliehkeil mit der einen Spannfläche an einer Seitenwand der Nut an, mit der anderen Keilfläche an der Halteleiste. Auf der Rückseite des Einwegmessers ist eine Klemmleiste angebracht, die formschlüssig an der anderen Seitenwand der Nut anliegt. Der Fliehkeil, dessen Keilwinkel offensichtlich weit außerhalb des Selbsthemmungsbereichs liegt, wird durch eine Feder nach außen gedrückt.According to the specified DE-OS, the centrifugal wedge rests with one clamping surface on a side wall of the groove and with the other wedge surface on the retaining strip. On the back of the disposable knife there is a clamping strip, which fits positively on the other side wall of the groove. The centrifugal wedge, whose wedge angle is obviously far outside the self-locking range, is pushed outwards by a spring.

Die Halteleiste ist zur Ermöglichung des Messerwechsels relativ zum Wellenkörper in Querrichtung - bei einem Aus­führungsbeispiel unter Federdruck - verschieblich. Zum Messerwechsel und zur Justierung des neuen Messers sind offenbar verschiedene Hilfsvorrichtungen erforderlich. Da die Lage des Messers von der exakten Passung mehrerer in­einandergreifender Teile abhängt, können sich toleranzbe­dingte Ungenauigkeiten addieren. Derartige unvermeidliche Ungenauigkeiten sind möglicherweise bei Zerspanungs­maschinen, für die die Messer gemäß DE-OS 25 59 406 bestimmt sind, tragbar. Bei Hobelmaschinen werden jedoch weit höhere Anforderungen an die Genauigkeit gestellt.The holding strip is displaceable in the transverse direction relative to the shaft body in order to enable the knife to be changed - in one exemplary embodiment under spring pressure. Various auxiliary devices are obviously required to change the knife and to adjust the new knife. Since the position of the knife depends on the exact fit of several interlocking parts, tolerance-related inaccuracies can add up. Such inevitable inaccuracies may be portable in cutting machines for which the knives are intended according to DE-OS 25 59 406. However, planer machines place far higher demands on accuracy.

Die EP-A1-0 117 991 beschreibt eine für Hobelmaschinen be­stimmte Messerwelle, die ebenfalls mit profilierten Ein­wegmessern bestückt ist. Jedes Messer sitzt in einer Nut und ist durch einen selbsthemmenden Fliehkeil verspannt, der - in Flugrichtung hinter dem Messer - unmittelbar an dem Messer anliegt. Die Profilierung des Messers greift formschlüssig in eine entsprechende Profilierung der Seitenwand der Nut ein. Bei dieser Messerwelle läßt sich das Messer nach Lösen des Fliehkeils von einer Stirnseite her in Längsrichtung aus der Nut herausziehen oder in diese hineinschieben. Die Justierung erfolgt selbsttätig durch das Ineinandergreifen der profilierten Flächen. Dadurch ist der Messerwechsel sehr einfach und kann durch ungeschultes Personal in kurzer Zeit durchgeführt werden. Diese Vorteile werden aber durch einen Nachteil erkauft: Leider ist die Form der Nut so kompliziert, daß es nicht möglich ist, den Wellenkörper aus einem Stück herzu­stellen. Daher ist der Wellenkörper aus gestanzten Blechen aufgebaut, die auf einem axialen Rohr aufgereiht und zwischen zwei Endplatten verspannt sind.EP-A1-0 117 991 describes a knife shaft intended for planing machines, which is also equipped with profiled disposable knives. Each knife sits in a groove and is braced by a self-locking centrifugal wedge, which - in the direction of flight behind the knife - lies directly against the knife. The profiling of the knife positively engages in a corresponding profiling of the side wall of the groove. With this knife shaft, the knife can be pulled out or pushed into the groove from one end in the longitudinal direction after loosening the centrifugal wedge. The adjustment is carried out automatically by the interlocking of the profiled surfaces. This makes knife changing very easy and can be carried out by untrained personnel in a short time. However, these advantages are paid for by a disadvantage: Unfortunately, the shape of the groove is so complicated that it is not possible to manufacture the shaft body from one piece. The shaft body is therefore made up of stamped metal sheets, which are lined up on an axial tube and clamped between two end plates.

Dieser Lammellenaufbau ist mit toleranzbedingten Ungenau­igkeiten behaftet, die durch verringerte Biegesteifigkeit und durch wiederkehrende Unwuchtprobleme noch verschärft werden. Sie können je nach der zu bearbeitenden Holzart die Oberflächenqualität des Werkstücks beeinträchtigen. Dadurch is der Anwendungsbereich eingeschränkt. Ein wei­terer Nachteil des Lamellenaufbaus ist die Gefahr der Spaltkorrosion. Bedingt durch die Anordnung des Fliehkeils hinter dem Messer ist der kritische Querschnitt hinter dem Fliehkeil sehr schmal und neigt daher zum sogenannten Aufbiegen oder Aufbäumen.This slat structure is subject to tolerance-related inaccuracies, which are exacerbated by reduced bending stiffness and recurring unbalance problems. Depending on the type of wood to be processed, they can affect the surface quality of the workpiece. This limits the scope. Another disadvantage of the lamella structure is the risk of crevice corrosion. Due to the arrangement of the centrifugal wedge behind the knife, the critical cross-section behind the centrifugal wedge is very narrow and therefore tends to so-called bending or rearing up.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Messerwelle der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Gat­tung zu schaffen, die einen problemlosen Messerwechsel ge­stattet, höchsten Anforderungen an die Genauigkeit genügt und dabei einfach herzustellen ist.The invention has for its object to provide a knife shaft of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1, which allows a problem-free knife change, meets the highest accuracy requirements and is easy to manufacture.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Kennzei­chen des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Die Halteleiste ist in einem solchen Abstand von der Seiten­wand der Nut angeordnet, daß bei gelöstem Fliehkeil ein dazwischenliegendes Messer leicht in Längsrichtung heraus­gezogen und ein neues Messer praktisch spielfrei einge­schoben werden kann. Wenn der Fliehkeil durch Rotation die Spannkraft erzeugt, wird die Halteleiste durch geringe elastische Verformung fest an das Einwegmesser angepreßt, so daß dieses unverrückbar festliegt.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. The retaining strip is arranged at such a distance from the side wall of the groove that, when the centrifugal wedge is released, an intermediate knife can be easily pulled out in the longitudinal direction and a new knife can be inserted practically without play. When the centrifugal wedge generates the clamping force by rotation, the retaining strip is pressed firmly against the disposable knife by slight elastic deformation, so that it is immovably fixed.

Gemäß Anspruch 2 ist das Einwegmesser unmittelbar in Kontakt mit dem massiven Wellenkörper. Dadurch wird ein fester Sitz erreicht.According to claim 2, the disposable knife is in direct contact with the solid shaft body. This ensures a tight fit.

Bei der bevorzugten Anordnung gemäß Anspruch 3 liegt die Rückseite des Messers an der Nutenwand an; dadurch wird der kritische Querschnitt hinter dem Messer steifer gegen das sogenannte Aufbiegen oder Aufbäumen.In the preferred arrangement according to claim 3, the back of the knife rests on the groove wall; this makes the critical cross-section behind the knife stiffer against so-called bending or rearing up.

Eine zweckmäßige konstruktive Ausbildung ist in Anspruch 4 angegeben.A useful constructive training is given in claim 4.

Durch das Merkmal des Anspruchs 5 wird gewährleistet, daß die Halteleiste auf Dauer unverrückbar bleibt.The feature of claim 5 ensures that the retaining bar remains immovable in the long run.

Durch das Merkmal des Anspruchs 6 wird vermieden, daß sich die Befestigung im Stillstand lockert. Dadurch erübrigen sich zusätzliche Spannelemente, wie Federn oder dergleichen.The feature of claim 6 prevents the attachment from loosening at a standstill. This eliminates the need for additional tensioning elements, such as springs or the like.

Das Merkmal des Anspruchs 7 ermöglicht ein Vorspannen des Fliehkeils im Ruhezustand.The feature of claim 7 enables the centrifugal wedge to be pretensioned in the idle state.

Durch das Merkmal des Anspruchs 8 kann die Spannkraft bei Bedarf verkleinert werden.Due to the feature of claim 8, the clamping force can be reduced if necessary.

Die Zeichnung dient zur Erläuterung der Erfindung anhand von zwei vereinfacht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen. Die Auführungsbeispiele zeigen je einen Teilquerschnitt der erfindungsgemäßen Messerwelle.The drawing serves to explain the invention on the basis of two simplified exemplary embodiments. The performance examples each show a partial cross section of the knife shaft according to the invention.

In der zylindrischen Mantelfläche eines aus massivem Mate­rial gearbeiteten Wellenkörpers 1 sind in gleichmäßigen Winkelabständen mehrere achsenparallele, sich zur Mantel­fläche hin verengende Nuten 2 angebracht. Die eine Seiten­ wand 3 der Nut 2 schließt mit dem zugehörigen Radius einen Winkel α von ungefähr 30° ein. Die Seitenwand 3 wird im folgenden der Einfachheit halber "hintere Seitenwand" bezeichnet, weil sie - bezogen auf die durch den Pfeil A symbolisierte Flugrichtung - hinten liegt. Die andere Seitenwand 4, die "vordere Seitenwand" liegt radial oder annähernd radial. Der Nutengrund besteht aus zwei stufen­artig zueinander versetzten, annähernd gleich breiten Streifen 5, 6, von denen jeder mit der angrenzenden Seitenwand 3 bzw. 4 der Nut 2 einen rechten Winkel bildet.In the cylindrical outer surface of a shaft body 1 made of solid material, several axially parallel grooves 2 narrowing towards the outer surface are provided at uniform angular intervals. One side wall 3 of the groove 2 includes an angle α of approximately 30 ° with the associated radius. For the sake of simplicity, the side wall 3 is referred to in the following as "rear side wall" because it lies at the rear, in relation to the direction of flight symbolized by the arrow A. The other side wall 4, the "front side wall" is radial or approximately radial. The bottom of the groove consists of two strips 5, 6 of approximately equal width which are offset from one another in steps, each of which forms a right angle with the adjacent side wall 3 or 4 of the groove 2.

In der Nut 2 sitzt auf der ganzen Länge ein mit exakt ge­schliffenen Anlageflächen versehenes, im Querschnitt L-­förmiges Profileisen, bestehend aus einer Fußleiste 7 und einer Halteleiste 8. Die Fußleiste 7 ist unverrückbar an dem rechtwinklig zur hinteren Seitenwand 3 liegenden Streifen 5 des Nutengrundes festgeschraubt. Die Schrauben 9 sind durch Klebstoff gesichert. Die Fußleiste 7 ist nur so breit, wie es für die Anbringung der Schrauben 9 er­forderlich ist. Sie ist relativ dick; ihre Dicke ent­spricht etwa der halben Breite. Sie ist daher praktisch unverformbar. Die Halteleiste 8 liegt planparallel zur hinteren Seitenwand 3 und ragt über deren volle Höhe bis an die Mantelfläche des Wellenkörpers 1 heran. Sie ist wesentlich breiter als die Fußleiste 7 und etwa halb so dick. So ist daher unter der Einwirkung einer starken Kraft elastisch verformbar, obwohl die Biegesteifigkeit ziemlich groß ist.In the groove 2 sits along the entire length with an exactly ground contact surface, in cross-section L-shaped profile iron, consisting of a skirting board 7 and a retaining strip 8. The skirting board 7 is immovable on the strip 5 of the groove base lying at right angles to the rear side wall 3 screwed tight. The screws 9 are secured by adhesive. The baseboard 7 is only as wide as is necessary for the attachment of the screws 9. It is relatively thick; their thickness corresponds to about half the width. It is therefore practically non-deformable. The retaining strip 8 is plane-parallel to the rear side wall 3 and extends over its full height to the outer surface of the shaft body 1. It is much wider than the baseboard 7 and about half as thick. It is therefore elastically deformable under the action of a strong force, although the bending stiffness is quite high.

In dem schmalen Spalt zwischen der hinteren Seitenwand 3 und der Halteleiste 8 ist ein Einwegmesser 10 eingespannt, das in üblicher Weise als Wendemesser mit zwei Schneiden 11, 12 ausgebildet ist. Die eine Schneide 11 steht ein wenig aus der zylindrischen Mantelfläche des Wellenkörpers 1 hervor. Die andere, in Reserve befindliche Schneide 12 liegt etwa in der Mitte der Halteleiste 8.In the narrow gap between the rear side wall 3 and the holding strip 8, a disposable knife 10 is clamped, which is designed in the usual way as a reversible knife with two cutting edges 11, 12. One cutting edge 11 protrudes a little from the cylindrical outer surface of the shaft body 1. The other cutting edge 12, which is in reserve, lies approximately in the middle of the holding bar 8.

Das Einwegmesser 10 hat an der Seite, die an der Halte­leiste 8 anliegt, eine Nut 13. Die dem Messer zugekehrte Fläche der Halteleiste 8 ist mit einer Feder 14 versehen, deren Breite genau der Nut 13 entspricht, so daß die Feder 14 formschlüssig in die Nut 13 eingreift. Die unmittelbar an der hinteren Seitenwand 3 anliegende Rückseite des Einwegmessers 10 ist völlig eben.The disposable knife 10 has a groove 13 on the side which bears against the retaining strip 8. The surface of the retaining strip 8 facing the knife is provided with a tongue 14, the width of which corresponds exactly to the groove 13, so that the tongue 14 fits positively into the Groove 13 engages. The back of the disposable knife 10 lying directly against the rear side wall 3 is completely flat.

In dem keilförmigen Zwischenraum zwischen der Halteleiste 8 und der vorderen Seitenwand 4 sitzt passend ein Flieh­keil 15 mit den Spannflächen 16, 17. Die Spannfläche 16 ist breit und liegt daher nahezu auf der gesamten Höhe an der vorderen Seitenwand 4 an. Die andere Spannfläche 17 ist schmal und liegt nur unmittelbar gegenüber dem Ein­wegmesser 10 an der Vorderseite der Halteleiste 8 an. Die Verkürzung der Spannfläche 17 wird durch zwei über Eck an­geordnete bogenförmige Ausnehmungen 18, 19 bewirkt. Die eine Ausnehmung 18, die sich bündig an die abgeschrägte schmale Stirnfläche 20 der Halteleiste 8 anschließt, bil­det vor der Schneide 11 eine Spantasche. Die andere Aus­nehmung 19 ist mit Rücksicht auf Schrauben 9 erforderlich. Neben den beiden Ausnehmungen 18, 19 verlaufen relativ schmale Stege 21 bzw. 22. Der äußere Steg 21 ist im ge­ spannten Zustand nahezu bündig mit der Mantelfläche des Wellenkörpers 1. Der innere Steg 22 liegt mit geringem Abstand planparallel über dem Streifen 6 des Nutengrundes. Der Fliehkeil 15 kann aus Stahl bestehen, aber auch aus Leichtmetall, falls eine verringerte Spannkraft erwünscht ist.In the wedge-shaped space between the retaining strip 8 and the front side wall 4, a centrifugal wedge 15 with the clamping surfaces 16, 17 is suitably seated. The other clamping surface 17 is narrow and only lies directly opposite the disposable knife 10 on the front of the retaining strip 8. The shortening of the clamping surface 17 is brought about by two arcuate recesses 18, 19 arranged at a corner. The one recess 18, which adjoins the bevelled narrow end face 20 of the retaining strip 8, forms a chip pocket in front of the cutting edge 11. The other recess 19 is necessary considering screws 9. In addition to the two recesses 18, 19 run relatively narrow webs 21 and 22. The outer web 21 is in ge tensioned state almost flush with the lateral surface of the shaft body 1. The inner web 22 lies plane-parallel at a short distance above the strip 6 of the groove base. The centrifugal wedge 15 can be made of steel, but also of light metal if a reduced clamping force is desired.

Zum Auswechseln des Einwegmesser 10 wird zunächst der Fliehkeil 15 durch Krafteinwirkung gegen den Steg 21 ge­löst. Die Halteleiste 8, die in gespanntem Zustand gering­fügig in Richtung auf das Einwegmesser 10 elastisch ver­formt ist, kehrt in ihre entspannte Lage zurück.To replace the disposable knife 10, the centrifugal wedge 15 is first released by applying force against the web 21. The retaining strip 8, which is slightly deformed in the tensioned state in the direction of the disposable knife 10, returns to its relaxed position.

Dadurch wird der Sitz des Einwegmessers 10 gelockert, und dieses läßt sich leicht in Richtung der Wellenachse herausziehen.This loosens the seat of the disposable knife 10 and this can be easily pulled out in the direction of the shaft axis.

Anschließend wird ein neues Messer von der Stirnseite der Messerwelle her in Längsrichtung eingeschoben. Sobald die Messerwelle in schnelle Umdrehung versetzt wird, zieht sich der Fliehkeil 15 durch Zentrifugalkraft fest. Das Einwegmesser ist nun exakt eingespannt. Da der Fliehkeil 15 selbsthemmend ausgebildet ist, verbleibt er auch nach Stillsetzen der Messerwelle im gespannten Zustand.Then a new knife is inserted in the longitudinal direction from the front of the knife shaft. As soon as the knife shaft is set into rapid rotation, the centrifugal wedge 15 is tightened by centrifugal force. The disposable knife is now clamped exactly. Since the centrifugal wedge 15 is designed to be self-locking, it remains in the tensioned state even after the knife shaft has stopped.

Bei dem in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Spannfläche des Fliehkeils 25, die der vorderen Sei­tenwand 4 der Nut 2 zugekehrt ist, in der Mitte mit einer breiten längslaufenden Nut 26 versehen, so daß nur die Randzonen 27, 28 anliegen. Dadurch wird eine noch besser definierte Anlage erreicht. In dem Fliehkeil 25 sind mehrere über die Länge verteilte radiale Stellschrauben 29 angebracht, die an dem Nutengrund abgestützt sind. Mit Hilfe der Stellschrauben 29 kann schon im Ruhezustand eine gewisse Vorspannung erzeugt werden.In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the clamping surface of the centrifugal wedge 25, which faces the front side wall 4 of the groove 2, is provided in the middle with a wide longitudinal groove 26, so that only the edge zones 27, 28 abut. As a result, an even better defined system is achieved. In the centrifugal wedge 25 there are several radial adjusting screws 29 distributed over the length, which are supported on the bottom of the groove. With the help of the set screws 29, a certain pretension can be generated even in the idle state.

Ansonsten stimmt das Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 2 mit dem in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel bis auf geringe konstruktive Abweichungen überein. Eine dieser Abweichungen besteht darin, daß die seitlichen Paßflächen der Nut- und Federverbindung zwischen dem Einwegmesser und der Halteleiste abgeschrägt sind.Otherwise, the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 2 is the same as the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 except for minor structural deviations. One of these deviations is that the lateral mating surfaces of the tongue and groove connection between the disposable knife and the retaining strip are chamfered.
