Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electric motor-driven workpiece clamping device according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • Such clamping devices are known according to K. Schreyer, workpiece clamps (devices, 3rd edition, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York 1969, pp. 80, 81; Fig. 246) and in particular for use on lathes for actuating mandrels, determined pliers and chucks, these devices can also be equipped with a spring to allow elastic tensioning.
  • Such an electromotive driven clamping device is not readily suitable for clamping devices of the type of interest here, since elastic clamping is not an option for workpiece clamping devices and such a known clamping device led to wedging of the threaded spindle with the actuator without a spring.
  • Clamping devices of the type of interest here are known, for example, from DE-PS 30 22 376, but also from the following publications: DE-PS 19 50 721, 12 68 074, DE-OS 22 22 686, FR-PS 12 55 515 and finally according to US Pat. No. 31 16 058.
  • Pneumatic or hydraulic drives are provided in all of these known clamping devices, the translatory lifting movement of which is articulated by actuators mounted in the device in the pivoting movement of the clamping lever is implemented.
  • this rotary drive provided for hooks, brackets or the like.
  • Load carrier is also not readily suitable for tensioning devices of the type of interest here, since the elastic buffer, which is intended to prevent wedging of the threads involved is located at the free end of the threaded spindle and can only take effect if the non-adjustable stop inside the actuator sits on this buffer. The same applies to the fully extended position of the actuator.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to improve a device of the type mentioned in such a way that a wedging in each clamping position, i.e. should be preventable in the bottom, dead center and also over dead center clamping position.
  • the threaded spindle can move to a limited extent due to the "floating" bearing. Since this floating bearing with its axial suspension is arranged on the coupling or drive side according to the invention, the axial suspension preventing thread wedging can come into effect in any clamping position.
  • the axial suspension must of course be designed so that a driving force of the motor is required for a predetermined compression, in which the power consumption of the motor is switched off, in which the maximum clamping force is also generated via the clamping device and in which no self-wedging of the thread has yet taken place . Under this condition, the following occurs on the clamping device according to the invention: The clamping lever is first brought into contact with the workpiece without the axial springing back.
  • the motor Since the motor then still has power reserves, it rotates the spindle further, but with increasing clamping force it dodges axially towards the drive side and compresses the axial suspension until the maximum clamping force is reached, that is, the tensioning force now corresponds to the tensioning force of the compressed suspension and without the threading becoming wedged, which would occur if the spindle could not deflect axially in the opposite direction. Since the motor is designed for a certain current consumption or can be switched off, it is essential for the return of the spindle and the release of the clamping device from its clamping position that the threads have not wedged, which required a correspondingly greater restoring force for the release of the wedging. which the engine is unable to perform.
  • the same principle of axial cushioning can advantageously also be used for this position, so that the tensioning device is also in this position to prevent wedging of the threads.
  • Such an axial suspension can either be arranged between the free end of the spindle and inside the actuator, but preferably and advantageously between the coupling-side end of the actuator and a corresponding support in the device holder, because an arrangement on the free spindle end would require readjustment if the actuator would change in length.
  • the motor is preferably and advantageously arranged coaxially to the threaded spindle on the holder.
  • the tensioning device consists of a tensioning lever 14 which is pivotally mounted in a holder H and which is connected in an articulated manner via an intermediate member 13 to an actuator 7 axially guided in the holder H and axially movable by a drive.
  • This known construction principle of such devices is thus retained in the present device, but the previously conventional pneumatic or hydraulic linear drive is replaced by a reversible rotary drive in its direction of rotation, namely in the form of a reversible motor 1 arranged coaxially with the spindle 3 with an upstream one Planetary gear 1 ⁇ and an axial clutch 2, which, as shown in Fig.
  • the actuator is formed from two parts, namely from the actuator head piece 7 ⁇ and a correspondingly internally threaded spindle sleeve 7 ⁇ , onto which the actuator head piece 7 ⁇ is screwed and fixed in the desired position by means of a lock nut 8.
  • the intermediate member 13 is articulated, which in turn with a Ge Steering extension 14 ⁇ of the clamping lever 14 is articulated in connection, which is in Fig. 1 in the open position and in Fig. 2 in the closed and clamping position.
  • the holder H of the device in which the entire adjustment mechanism is mounted, consists of several parts, all of which are designated by 5.
  • the actuator head piece 7 ⁇ in the exemplary embodiment shown is provided with a thickening 15, specifically for receiving the one joint of the intermediate member 13 and for receiving small guide rollers 16 which are supported on a flat guide 17 of the holder H.
  • This type of design of the actuator head piece is also known.
  • other types of guidance of the actuator head piece 7 ⁇ can also be used.
  • the illustrated embodiment of the actuator 7 ⁇ is advantageously used.
  • the trapezoidal threaded spindle 3 is mounted in the small coupling 2 with its drive-side end 3 fest rotatably but axially displaceably.
  • the trapezoidal threaded spindle 3 is provided with two radial ball bearings 10, which are fixed on the spindle 3 with two lock nuts 12.
  • the two radial ball bearings 10 are in turn mounted in an axial sliding bush 11, which is slightly in one corresponding slide bearing guide 11 ⁇ of the holder H can move and is secured against rotation with a suitable element 18.
  • the reversing motor 1 (electric gear motor) is designed for a specific current consumption and switches off in the event of an overload, which occurs when the axial suspension 19 is compressed to a predetermined load value.
  • the tensioning lever 14 is to be released from its tensioning position, which can also be an over-dead center tensioning position, the motor 1, correspondingly switched over, rotates to the other side, with the existing self-locking of the threads being overcome without problems since there is no wedging between the threads .
  • the floating bearing is provided on the dome side with the axial suspension 19 in the form of a plate spring which is braced against the stop 20 ⁇ in the holder H. This stop can optionally also be made adjustable.
  • the axial suspension 19 is, as mentioned, designed so that in the fully or partially compressed state of the maximum tension force that can be applied to the tensioning lever 14, which ensures that no further forces are introduced into the device when the tensioning position is reached, which would otherwise lead to wedging the thread would lead.
  • a limit switch 21 could of course be provided at a suitable point, which switches off the reversing motor 1 in good time. It is also advantageous, however, as can be seen from FIG. 3, to arrange a corresponding axial suspension 19 ⁇ on the tension side in front of the floating bearing, which makes such a limit switch unnecessary.
  • This axial suspension 19 ⁇ is therefore in a suitable manner between the first radial ball bearing 10 and the stop 4 ⁇ Holder H arranged, whereby the axial suspension 19 ⁇ arranged there, just like the axial suspension 19, comes into effect completely independently of the actually set length of the actuator 7.
  • the axial suspension 19 ⁇ could indeed be applied directly to the stop 4 ⁇ , but advantageously the stop can also be made axially adjustable in a suitable manner for its adjustability, which is not particularly shown.
  • the actuator head piece 7 ⁇ or the part of the actuator 7 ⁇ forming the spindle sleeve 7 ⁇ is provided with an end stop 6 in the form of an annular collar which interacts with the abovementioned stop 4.
  • the stop 4 forms a part with an exchangeable guide bush 9 which comprises the spindle 13 and the actuator 7 and which, as illustrated for example, is suitably integrated in the holder H.
  • This stop 4 now serves to prevent the spindle 3 from being completely unscrewed from the actuator 7 if the clamping lever 14 does not come to the clamping system for some reason on a workpiece, because then the motor 1 would not be loaded, simply continue to rotate and depending on Unscrew the spindle 3 from the actuator 7 according to the structural dimensions. Even if the end stop 6 of the spindle sleeve 7 'comes to rest against the stop 4, there is no thread wedging, since the "floating" bearing 20 then comes into operation again.
  • This described embodiment ensures that the threaded spindle 3 cannot wedge with the actuator 7. If, however, there are unfavorable circumstances, e.g. expansion of the clamped workpiece due to the effects of heat or high stress on the clamping arm when swiveling back due to additional loads on the tension arm (e.g. shape-matched pressure pieces that have to be fastened to the tension arm), it can happen that the nominal current consumption of the motor 1 is not sufficient to move the tension arm or its actuator 7 out of its more heavily loaded end position.
  • the circuit of the reversing motor 1 contains two measuring circuits IC1 and IC2 which are relatively matched with respect to the current consumption of the motor in such a way that the reversing motor 1 receives a higher power supply than it when moving from the two end positions corresponds to the nominal current when moving into the end positions.
  • the two measuring circuits are preferably adjusted in a ratio of 1: 1.5. This circuit is illustrated in Fig.4.
  • This circuit assigned to the motor circuit works as follows: The start signal that sets the 1st and 2nd input S in the IC3 is given via the button S 1. At the same time, the 4th input R in IC3 is reset. The free passage is switched in the "undister” of the IC4 and the motor 1 is switched to open via the optocouplers 3 and K1. At the same time the current is measured via the IC2. As soon as the drawn current exceeds the set value of R 11, the IC2 switches through and the 1st input R in the IC3 is reset, whereby the motor 1 is switched off. The same happens when the tensioner is closed using button S2 and IC1.
