Abstract

The invention relates to a screwing tool with a reversible locking mechanism having clamping bodies (24) in wedge-shaped clamping spaces (23) between an outer annular driving part (3) and an inner core output part (8) of approximately triangular cross-section. The clamping bodies (24) can be shifted into the release position relative to the wedge walls of the associated clamping space by means of a rotatable switch member catching in its switch positions, by drivers (17) which engage on the clamping bodies (24) and which block the transfer of the clamping bodies into one of their two respective clamping positions. To achieve a constructionally simple, serviceable and low-friction design, a clamping body (24) rests loosely in a respective clamping space (23) and can be shifted into its clamping position by the rotational movement of the annular driving part (3). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schraubwerkzeug mit richtungsumschaltbaren GesperreThe invention relates to a screwing tool with a reversible locking mechanism

Ein derartiges Schraubwerkzeug ist aus der DE-A-25 03 312 bekannt. Ein weiteres Schraubwerkzeug ist bekannt aus der DE-A-33 44 361, wobei das im Querschnitt dreieckförmig gestaltete Abtriebskernteil in Verbindung mit dem äußeren Antriebsringteil die keilförmig verlaufenden Klemmräume zur Aufnahme paarig angeordneter, walzenförmiger Klemmkörper bildet Zwischen je einem Paar von Klemmkörpern erstreckt sich eine diese beaufschlagende Druckfeder, welche die Klemmkörper in die keilförmig verlaufenden Klemmräume drückt. Die Verlagerung der klemmkörper zwecks Erzielung unterschiedlicher Mitnahmerichtungen geschieht mittels des zentral gelagerten Schaltgliedes, von welchem abgewinkelte Mitnehmer ausgehen. Es sind dabei drei solcher Mitnehmer vorgesehen, die sich jeweils zwischen einem Paar der Klemmkörper erstrecken. Zur freien Drehbarkeit der Mitnehmer sind die Dreieckekken konzentrisch zum Drehpunkt abgeschnitten, damit die Mitnehmer dort in die benachbarten Klemmräume fahren können, und zwar abhängig davon, in welche Richtung die Mitnahme des Abtriebskernteils gewünscht wird. Zur Festellung des Schaltgliedes in seine Schaltstellungen dient eine im Abtriebskernteil untergebrachte, mit dem Schaltglied zusammenwirkende Rastkugel. Abgesehen von der herstellungstechnisch aufwendigen Bauform bedingt wegen der Vielzahl der Bauteile, liegen ungünstige Reibungsverhältnisse vor, die bei längerer Handhabung des Schraubwerkzeugs zu vorzeitigen Ermüdungserscheinungen führen.Such a screwing tool is known from DE-A-25 03 312. Another screwing tool is known from DE-A-33 44 361, which in cross section triangular shaped output core part in Connection with the outer drive ring part wedge-shaped terminal spaces for receiving roller-shaped sprags arranged in pairs forms between a pair of sprags extends a striking this Compression spring that wedges the sprags running terminal spaces presses. Relocation the clamp body to achieve different Driving directions happens by means of of the centrally located switching element, of which run out angled drivers. There are three such carriers are provided, each one extend between a pair of the clamp body. For free rotation of the drivers the triangle corners are concentric to the pivot point cut off so that the drivers there in the can drive adjacent terminal rooms, and depending on the direction in which the take of the driven core part is desired. For Positioning the switching element in its switching positions serves a housed in the output core part, locking ball interacting with the switching element. Apart from the technically complex Design due to the large number of Components, there are unfavorable friction conditions before using the screwdriver for a long time to premature signs of fatigue to lead.

Aus der FR-A 2 196 221 ist ein Schraubwerkzeug mit einem mehrkantigen, z. B. vierkantigen Abtriebskernteil bekannt, dessen Klemmkörper in Schlitzen eines Halterungskorbs gehalten sind, der entsprechend der gewünschten Mitnahme-Drehrichtung verstellt wird.FR-A 2 196 221 is a screwing tool with a polygonal, e.g. B. square Output core part known, the clamping body in Slots of a holder basket are held, the according to the desired direction of rotation is adjusted.

Dem Gegenstand der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Schraubwerkzeug der in Rede stehenden Art in seinem Aufbau zu vereinfachen und so auszugestalten, daß zwecks Erzielung optimaler Arbeitsverhältnisse die Reibung minimiert ist.The object of the invention is the object based on a screwdriver in question simplify the standing type in its structure and to design so that in order to achieve optimal Working conditions the friction is minimized.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.This task is solved by the characteristics of claim 1.

Die äbhüngigen Ansprüche betreffen vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Gegenstandes des Anspruchs 1.The relevant claims relate to advantageous further developments of the subject matter of claim 1.

Zufolge derartiger Ausgestaltung ist ein gattungsgemäßes Schraubwerkzeug von erhöhtem Gebrauchswert geschaffen. Der Aufbau des Schraubwerkzeugs ist vereinfacht wegen der verringerten Anzahl an Bauteilen. Wie gefunden wurde, genügen Klemmkörper in einer der Anzahl der Klemmräume entsprechenden Anzahl, um die angestrebte Wirkung zu erreichen. As a result of such a configuration is a generic Screwing tool of increased Use value created. The structure of the Screwing tool is simplified because of the reduced Number of components. As was found enough clamp bodies in one of the number of Terminal spaces corresponding number to the target To achieve effect.

Die Klemmkörper werden ausschließlich von der Drehbewegung des Antriebsringteils in ihre Klemmstellung mitgeschleppt. Wird eine Mitnahme in einer Richtung und ein Freilauf in der anderen Richtung gewünscht, so ist das Schaltglied in die entsprechende Position zu drehen , wobei die Mitnehmer den Zugang zu je einem Klemmzwickel des Klemmraumes versperren. Bei einer Drehmitnahme greifen nun die Klemmkörper in die entsprechenden Klemmzwikkel ein. Eine Drehung des Antriebsringteils in Freilaufrichtung führt dann zu einem Herausrollen der Klemmkörper aus diesen Klemmzwickeln. Wie gefunden wurde, bringt diese lose Einlagerung der Klemmkörper eine Reibungsverringerung von ca. 20 % gegenüber herkömmlichen Bauformen, so daß vorzeitigen Ermüdungserscheinungen bei längerem Arbeiten mit dem Schraubwerkzeug entgegengewirkt wird. Letzteres ist insbesondere dann wichtig, wenn das Schraubwerkzeug als Schraubendreher gestaltet ist. Je nach Drehrichtung des Schaltgliedes taucht die Rastkugel in die entsprechende Rastvertiefung ein und wird durch die sie beaufschlagende Druckfeder in die Zentrierstellung gebracht. Auf diese Weise kann das Schaltglied einen größeren Weg zurücklegen. Auch läßt es diese Ausgestaltung zu, daß bei Verlagerung des Antriebsringteils in Freilaufrichtung noch eine geringe Ausweichbewegung der Mitnehmer erreichbar ist, ohne daß das Schaltglied aus seiner Schaltstellung tritt. Die Dreiecksseiten des Abtriebskernteils ballig auszubilden, führt zu einem kontinuierlichen Einsteuern der Klemmkörper in die jeweiligen Klemmzwickel der Klemmräume. Auf diese Weise wird ein Überlastschutz erreicht, was zu einer Verlängerung der Haltbarkeit des Schraubwerkzeugs führt. Um die ballligen Dreieckseiten frei von Einschnitten zu gestalten, trägt das Abtriebskernteil auf Höhe einer seiner Winkelhalbierenden in einer Sackbohrung die abgefederte Rastkugel. Die entsprechenden mit ihr zusammenwirkenden Rastvertiefungen befinden sich an der Innenwand des topfförmig gestalteten Schaltgliedes. Auf diese Weise lassen sich günstigst definierte Schaltstellungen erreichen, so daß die als axial vorstehende Finger ausgebildeten Mitnehmer des Schaltgliedes bestimmungsgemäß in die entsprchende Stellung treten. Zu einer stabilen Lagerung des Schaltgliedes trägt bei, daß das Abtriebskernteil quer zu den Winkelhalbierenden stehende, konzentrisch verlaufende Führungsflächen ausbildet, die an der Topfinnenwand des Schaltgliedes anliegen. Die Lagerlänge des Schaltgliedes wird noch durch den zentralen Führungsbund des Abtriebskernteils vergrößert, der in die Bohrung des Topfbodens des Schaltgliedes eintritt. Eine reibungsarme und dennoch stabile Lagerung erhält das Abtriebskernteil durch ihre mit Lagerrippen ausgestattete Führungshülse, die in dem Schraubendrehergriff-Innenkörper drehbar angeordnet ist. Dieser Innenkörper ist Bestandteil des Antriebsringteils, was zu einer weiteren Einsparung von Bauteilen führt. Im übrigen sind die Rippen an den Endbereichen der Führungshülse vorgesehen. so daß auch hohen Verkantungskräften sicher entgegengewirkt wird. Eine stabile Einlagerung erhalten die walzenförmigen Klemmkörper dadurch, daß sie mit einem Teil ihrer Stirnfläche auf Bodenflächen aufliegen, die im Bereich der Klemmräume von Überständen des Abtriebskernteils gebildet sind. Es bietet sich an, die balligen Dreieckseiten beim Mehrkantdrehen mittels eines Einzahnschlagmessers zu erzeugen. Dies führt auch dazu, daß die Außenkanten der Bodenflächen und der Führungsftächen sich zu einem Kreis ergänzen können verbunden mit fertigungstechnischen Vorteilen. Eine optimale Steuerung der Klemmkörper wird durch die bis zu den Bodenflächen reichenden Mitnehmer des Schaltgliedes erzielt. Dadurch entspricht die Achslänge der Klemmkörper derjenigen der Mitnehmer. Die Lagensicherung der Klemmkörper in der anderen Richtung wird durch die die anderen Stirnflächen der walzenförmigen Klemmkörper übergreifende Topfrandfläche des Schaltgliedes erzielt. Deren Rastvertiefungen können so gestaltet sein, daß eine mittlere formschlüssig dem Kugeleintrittsquerschnitt entspricht, während die in Drehrichtung vergrößerten Rastvertiefungen mit konkavem Boden versehen sind.The sprags are made exclusively by the rotational movement of the drive ring part in their Clamped position dragged along. Will take away in one direction and a freewheel in the other Direction desired, so the switching element is in the corresponding position to rotate, the driver access to one clamping gusset each block the terminal area. When taking a film now grip the clamp body in the corresponding Pinch on. A rotation of the Drive ring part in the freewheel direction then leads to a rolling out of the clamping body from this Pinch gussets. As was found, this brings loose storage of the sprags reduces friction of approx. 20% compared to conventional ones Designs so that premature signs of fatigue when working with the Screwing tool is counteracted. The latter is particularly important if the screwdriver is designed as a screwdriver. Each according to the direction of rotation of the switching element Insert the locking ball into the corresponding locking recess and is due to the compression spring acting on them brought into the centering position. In this way the switching element can travel a greater distance. This configuration also allows that when moving the drive ring part in the freewheel direction still a slight evasive movement of the Driver can be reached without the switching element steps out of its switching position. The triangle sides to form the output core part spherical leads to a continuous control of the sprags into the respective terminal gusset of the terminal rooms. In this way, overload protection is achieved resulting in an extension of shelf life of the screwing tool. Around the spherical triangular sides free of incisions the output core part at the level of one of its bisectors the sprung in a blind hole Locking ball. The corresponding cooperating with her There are recesses on the Inner wall of the cup-shaped switching element. In this way you can define the cheapest Reach switch positions so that the as axially protruding fingers trained driver of the switching element as intended in the corresponding Take a stand. For stable storage of the switching element helps that the output core part transverse to the bisector, forms concentric guiding surfaces, on the inner wall of the switching element issue. The bearing length of the switching element is still through the central guide collar of the driven core part enlarged in the bore of the Pot bottom of the switching element occurs. A low-friction and still maintains stable storage the driven core part through their with bearing ribs equipped guide sleeve, which in the Screwdriver handle inner body rotatably arranged is. This inner body is part of the drive ring part, resulting in further savings leads from components. Otherwise the ribs are on provided the end regions of the guide sleeve. so that even high canting forces are counteracted becomes. Get a stable storage the roller-shaped clamp body in that them with part of their end face on floor surfaces rest in the area of the terminal rooms formed by projections of the driven core part are. It lends itself to the convex triangular sides for multi-sided turning using a single-tooth percussion knife to create. This also leads to the fact that the outer edges of the floor surfaces and the guide surfaces can add up to a circle combined with manufacturing advantages. Optimal control of the sprags by reaching down to the floor areas Carrier of the switching element achieved. This corresponds to the axis length of the sprags the driver. The position securing of the sprags in the other direction is through the other end faces of the roller-shaped clamping body overall pot edge of the switching element achieved. Their recesses can so be designed so that a medium positive Ball entry cross section corresponds to that in Direction of rotation enlarged recesses with concave bottom.

Befinden sich das Schaltglied und damit die Mitnehmer in einer neutralen Mittelstellung, so erfolgt eine Mitnahme des Abtriebskernteils bei Drehung des Antriebsringteils in jeder Richtung.Are the switching element and thus the Driver in a neutral middle position, so it is done taking the output core part with rotation of the drive ring part in any direction.

Auf Höhe eines Mitnehmers ist das Schaltglied 15 mit sich in Achsrichtung erstreckenden nutenartigen Rastvertiefungen 18, 19 ud 19' ausgestattet, die mit einer Rastkugel 20 des Abtriebskernteils 8 zusammenwirken. Zu diesem Zweck besitzt das Abtriebskernteil 8 auf einer seiner Winkelhalbierenden eine Sackbohrung 21 zur Aufnahme der Rastkugel 20 und einer diese in Auswärtsrichtung beaufschlagenden Druckfeder 22. Gemäß Fig. 1 - 3 greift die Rastkugel 20 mit ihrem vorstehenden Bereich formschlüssig in die mittlere Rastvertiefung 18 ein, so daß in dieser Stellung sämtliche Mitnehmer 17 den Führungsflächen 9' des im Querschnitt dreieckförmigen Abtriebskernteils 8 gegenüberliegen. Die beiden der mittleren Rastvertiefung 18 unmittelbar benachbarten Rastvertiefungen 19, 19' sind in Drehrichtung vergrößert und mit konkavem Boden gestaltet.The guide surfaces 9 'plus output core part 8 lie on the inner wall of the pot 15 '' '' and enlarge thus the bearing length of the switching element 15. Three of the pot edge area 15 '' go in the same Angle distribution arranged driver 17. The same are designed as axially protruding fingers and the same material as the switching element 15 molded. It is advisable to use the switching element 15 including the driver 17 made of plastic manufacture. This is at the level of a driver Switching element 15 with extending in the axial direction groove-like recesses 18, 19 and 19 ' equipped with a locking ball 20 of the output core part 8 interact. To this Purpose has the output core part 8 on one of its Bisecting a blind hole 21 for Recording the locking ball 20 and one in Compression spring 22 acting outward. 1-3, the locking ball 20 engages with her projecting area in the middle Locking recess 18, so that in this position all drivers 17 the guide surfaces 9 ' of the output core part triangular in cross section 8 face each other. The two of the middle Locking recess 18 immediately adjacent locking recesses 19, 19 'are enlarged in the direction of rotation and designed with a concave base.

Die Innenfächen 17' der Mitnehmer 17 fluchten mit der Topfinnenwand 15'''', während die Außenflächen 17'' von der Wandung des Bohrungsabschnittes 5 des Antriebsringteils 3 geführt werden. Im übrigen reichen die Mitnehmer 17 bis zu den Überständen 10 des Abtriebskernteils 8, vergl. Fig. 1.The inner surfaces 17 'of the driver 17 are aligned with the inner pot wall 15 '' '', while the outer surfaces 17 '' from the wall of the bore section 5 of the drive ring part 3 are guided. Otherwise, the drivers 17 reach up to the Protrusions 10 of the output core part 8, see Fig. 1.

Zwischen den Dreieckseiten 9 des Abtriebskernteils 8 und der Wandung des Bohrungsabschnittes 5 werden Klemmräume 23 gebildet. Jeder dieser Klemmräume 23 formt in seinen in Umfangsrichtung liegenden Endbereichen Klemmzwickel 23' aus. In je einem Klemmraum 23 liegt lose ein walzenförmig gestalteter Klemmkörper 24 ein. In der mittleren Schaltstellung des Schaltgliedes 15 erstrecken sich die Klemmkörper 24 etwa auf Höhe des Scheitels der balligen Dreieckseiten 9, vergl. Fig. 2 und 3.Between the triangular sides 9 of the driven core part 8 and the wall of the bore section 5 terminal spaces 23 are formed. Everyone this clamping space 23 forms in its circumferential direction lying end areas clamping gusset 23 '. Loose in each of a terminal space 23 a roller-shaped clamping body 24. In the middle switching position of the switching element 15 extend the clamping body 24 approximately at height the apex of the spherical triangular sides 9, cf. 2 and 3.

Die walzenförmigen Klemmkörper 24 liegen mit einem Teil ihrer einen Stirnfläche 25 vor den Bodenflächen 10'' der Überstände 10 und werden demgemäß in einer Richtung von diesen lagengesichert. Die Lagensicherung in der anderen Richtung erhalten die Klemmkörper 24 durch die ihre andere Stirnfläche 26 überfangende Topfrandfläche 15'' des Schaltgliedes 15. Da die Mitnehmer 17 bis zu den Bodenflächen 10'' der Überstände 10 reichen bzw. diese noch geringfügig überragen, liegen langbemessene radiale Steuerflächen 17''' an den Mitnehmern 17 vor.The roller-shaped clamping bodies 24 lie with part of their one end face 25 in front of the Bottom surfaces 10 '' of the supernatants 10 and accordingly secured in one direction from these. The position assurance in the other direction get the clamp body 24 through the other End face 26 overlapping pot edge face 15 '' of the switching element 15. Since the driver 17 up to the bottom surfaces 10 '' of the protrusions 10 are sufficient or slightly above them Long dimensioned radial control surfaces 17 '' 'on the Carriers 17 before.

Es ergibt sich folgende Wirkungsweise:
Befindet sich das Schaltglied 15 in der mittleren Schaltstellung, vergl. Fig. 1 - 3, so wird beim Drehen des Schraubendrehergriffes 1 über das Antriebsringteil 3 eine Mitnahme des Abtriebskernteils 8 in jeder Richtung erreicht, bedingt durch eine Mitnahme der Klemmkörper 24 in die entsprechenden Klemmzwickel 23'. Ein Freilauf tritt dann nicht auf.
This works as follows:
If the switching element 15 is in the middle switching position, see FIGS. 1-3, when the screwdriver handle 1 is rotated via the drive ring part 3 the output core part 8 is entrained in every direction, due to the entrainment of the clamping body 24 in the corresponding clamping gusset 23 '. A freewheel then does not occur.

Soll dagegen das Abtriebskernteil 8 gemäß Fig. 4 und 5 in Pfeilrichtung y mitgenommen werden, so ist das Schaltglied 15 so zu verdrehen, daß die Rastkugel 20 in die Rastvertiefung 19 eingreift. Die von dem Schaltglied 15 ausgehenden Mitnehmer 17 verdrängen dadurch die Klemmkörper 24 um ein gewisses Maß aus ihrer Mittelstellung in Richtung der entsprechenden Klemmzwickel 23' der Klemmräume 23. Wird nun das Antriebsringteil 3 bzw. der Schraubendrehergriff 1 in Pfeilrichtung y gedreht, so führt dieses infolge Reibung Zu einem Mitschleppen der Klemmkörper in die Klemmstellung, so daß dadurch die Drehmitnahme des Abtriebskernteils 8 ebenfalls in Pfeilrichtung y erfolgt. Bei entgegengesetzter Drehrichtung erfolgt ein Mitschleppen der Klemmkörper 24 aus den entsprechenden Zwickeln 23' heraus, was dem Freilauf entspricht. Ggf. können von den Klemmkörpern 24 die Mitnehmer 17 und damit das Schaltglied 15 geringfügig verdreht werden. Dennoch verbleibt die Rastkugel 20 in ihrer Rastvertiefung 19.On the other hand, if the output core part 8 according to FIG. 4 and 5 in the direction of the arrow y, so the switching element 15 is rotated so that the Locking ball 20 engages in the locking recess 19. The driver starting from the switching element 15 17 thereby displace the clamping body 24 a certain amount from their middle position towards the corresponding clamping gusset 23 ' Terminal spaces 23. Now the drive ring part 3 or the screwdriver handle 1 in the direction of the arrow y rotated, this leads to a due to friction Dragging the clamping bodies into the clamping position, so that thereby the rotational driving of the driven core part 8 also takes place in the direction of the arrow y. If the direction of rotation is opposite, it is dragged along the clamping body 24 from the corresponding Gusset 23 'out what the freewheel corresponds. Possibly. can of the sprags 24 the driver 17 and thus the switching element 15 be slightly twisted. Nevertheless, that remains Locking ball 20 in its locking recess 19.

Hat eine Mitnahme des Abtriebskernteils 8 in der anderen Drehrichtung zu erfolgen, ist das Schaltglied 15 so zu verdrehen, daß dann die Rastkugel 20 in die Rastvertiefung 19' eintaucht.Has entrainment of the output core part 8 in the other direction of rotation, that is To rotate switching element 15 so that then the locking ball 20 immersed in the recess 19 '.
