Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the gradual advancement of workpieces with two gripper parts or regions which can be moved back and forth in the direction of advance for gripping the workpieces and which have gripper rails according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such a device is known from US-A-1 426 039.
  • the pivotable levers engage with one end spaced apart from their pivot point directly in longitudinal guides located on the gripper rails and also each have a second arm which is connected to a drive linkage extending laterally of a gripper rail.
  • the levers therefore engage directly on the longitudinal guides located at the ends of the gripper rails and require space on the side of their fixed bearings for their actual swivel drive.
  • the levers cooperating with the second gripper rail are also driven by crossbars from the levers, which are effective on the first gripper rail, so that overall a relatively large drive effort is required in that two-armed levers are required with a corresponding space requirement.
  • the gripper rails For the movement of the gripper rails in their longitudinal direction of extension, they are connected to one another, the length of this connection having to be changeable because of the gripping movement taking place in the transverse direction. It is therefore necessary between the gripper rails a plurality of telescopically adjustable and mutually adjustable linkages, which would hinder the gripping of workpieces which should possibly also extend somewhat below their level between the gripper rails.
  • a device of another type is therefore already known from DE-C-28 52 929.
  • a mechanism arranged below the plane of the gripper rails is provided with a cam disc that can be rotated about a horizontal axis and a vertically movable plunger that drives two counter-rotating gears via a toothing, which in turn by means of Comb the racks located on the gripper rails.
  • the shafts of the gear wheels must be guided approximately over the length of the gripper rail in order to be able to drive a plurality of gear wheels at a distance from one another for uniform lateral movement of the respective gripper rail.
  • the arrangement especially of the gears and the shaft connecting them, takes up a considerable height below the gripper rails.
  • the entire drive is a complex mechanism, which due to the multiple interacting teeth and the cam disc an unfavorable efficiency Has.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a device of the type mentioned, in which the overall height in the gripping area of the gripper rails is low, a space-saving arrangement is made possible, the synchronization of the pivotable levers is simple and the detection of workpieces between the gripper rails is not can be affected by drive means.
  • the levers acting as rockers can be pivoted approximately in the plane of movement of the gripper rail or parallel to it, ie their pivot axes are approximately perpendicular to the plane within which the gripper rails are moved, one below is omitted the gripper rails with a spaced shaft and thus the space required for this.
  • the portion of the pivoting path of the pivotable lever which effects the most favorable lever transmission and force transmission in the gripping direction can be used, so that a favorable efficiency is made possible.
  • each gripper rail is guided on a pulling and / or push rod and the levers engage thereon, the gripper rails connecting telescopically variable rods are avoided, so that the space between the gripper rails remains free, that is to say the detection of workpieces is not impaired by drive means can.
  • the fixed leg bearings of the levers can be arranged on the sides of the gripper rails facing away from one another or in each case in the space between the gripper rails.
  • the former variant has the advantage that the space between the gripper rails - also from the levers - remains free.
  • the arrangement of the levers in the space between the gripper rails - of course, outside or below their gripping areas, where the gripping of workpieces can also not be impaired - has the advantage, however, that under very cramped conditions the advantageous drive type with swiveling levers that are parallel to the plane are pivotable, within which the gripping movements take place, can be carried out.
  • the fixed pivot bearings of the levers can be arranged at a distance from the gripper rails.
  • An embodiment of the drive of very considerable importance can consist in that the pivotable levers are held in the gripping position by a hydraulically or pneumatically acting or mechanical spring or similar restoring element and can be pivoted against the restoring force of the restoring element in the open position. In this way, the entire drive for the gripping movement can be made free of play, which the Precision of the gripping movement increased accordingly. Furthermore, a drive is effected in one direction only because the opposite movement can be carried out by the restoring force mentioned.
  • the levers can each turn or pivot on the pull and / or push rod.
  • the levers acting on each gripper rail are connected to one another and simultaneously act indirectly on the gripper rail.
  • the pull and / or push rod can be arranged below the gripper rail on this.
  • the gripper rail it is possible for the gripper rail to bear or have, at least in regions, a U-shaped or C-shaped cross-sectional profile in which the pull and / or push rod fits.
  • the pull and / or push rod forms a unit with the gripper rail, so it does not require any additional space and effects an effective synchronization of the respective pivotable lever, where the corresponding adjusting forces are transmitted to the gripper rail, is on this Way well protected the pull and / or push rod against dirt or damage.
  • a modified embodiment for the smoothest possible relative displacement movement between gripper rail and pull and / or push rod can be achieved in that the gripper rail has a guide rail on which a carriage connected to the pull and / or push rod engages. This allows a ball or roller guide to be provided between the carriage and the guide rail. However, a sliding fit is also conceivable in particular when using a U-shaped or C-shaped cross-sectional profile.
  • the tie rods and / or push rods for the two gripper rails can be connected to one another outside the gripping region, in particular have a gripper cross member connecting them, and a single drive can be provided for actuating the swivel levers.
  • the arrangement of the rockers or levers ensures that the gripper rails each perform opposite movements for gripping the workpiece and for releasing it; nevertheless, with the aid of the gripper crossmember mentioned, this partially opposite movement of all levers and tension elements can be carried out with a single drive. This in turn saves space and the synchronization is achieved very easily with a backlash-free drive.
  • the connection of the two pulling elements of the two gripper rails to one another and the possibility of thereby requiring only a single drive for their movement is therefore of particularly advantageous importance.
  • a cam or link plate arranged outside the gripping area and a rocker can be provided, which rocker from the cam or link plate in the sense of a longitudinal movement of the Drawbars is pivotable, the curve or backdrop of the cam being arranged so that the gripping movement is adapted in time to the feed movement of the gripper rail.
  • the traverse for connecting the rods and the cam disc provided for their drive can be arranged on extensions of the tie rods. They are therefore outside the area where the respective workpieces have to be gripped, that is, no additional space is required for this drive within a press or other machine tool.
  • the gripper rails can in turn be connected to one another outside the gripping area, in particular in the area of the extensions of the tie rods, by means of a feed traverse or the like and have a common feed drive.
  • a feed traverse or the like can be connected to one another outside the gripping area, in particular in the area of the extensions of the tie rods, by means of a feed traverse or the like and have a common feed drive.
  • Claim 15 specifies a measure by which the overall height of the device can be kept as small as possible.
  • the claims 16 to 18 contain advantageous measures with which the respective stroke of the feed movement or the gripping movement can be changed in a simple manner within the drive, wherein a single adjustment device is sufficient due to the advantageous transmission of the drives to the feed on the one hand and with the help of other adjustment movement, on the other hand, to change the dimensions of the gripping movement.
  • Claim 19 contains a combination of features by which the attack of the gripping plunger interacting with the pull rods on the associated cam disc is free of play, without any measures being required for readjustment. Any wear is automatically compensated for by the restoring force of the spring or the restoring element.
  • the claims 20 and 21 contain expedient constructive designs of the connection between the slide actuated by the coupling gear and the tie rods or the gripper rails, the guides or guide slots running in the direction of extension of the crossbars the relative movements of the gripper rails and thus also the tie rods towards and away from each other despite enable common drive with these trusses.
  • the space requirement of the device is small, especially where the workpieces have to be gripped or released, while the drive is provided primarily for opening and closing the gripper rails, but also for their feed outside a corresponding processing machine, in particular a press can.
  • a device designated as a whole by 1, is used for the gradual advancement of workpieces 100, for example within a press 2, where these workpieces are subjected to an additional machining operation after each such feed movement.
  • the device 1 has two parallel gripper rails 3 which can be moved and retracted in the feed direction according to the arrow PF1 in FIG. 2 and on which gripper parts 3a are provided as grippers for gripping the workpieces 100 in a known manner.
  • the gripper rails 3 can be moved towards one another and can be moved away from each other again for releasing, i.e. the gripper rails 3 make a total of four different movements, namely a gripping movement in which the gripper rails 3 are moved towards one another, a feed movement, one opposite the gripper movement Opening movement and a return movement opposite to the feed movement in the starting position.
  • the gripper rails 3 are alternately movable towards one another for gripping the workpieces 100 and can be moved together in the feed direction for advancement and then in turn can be moved away from one another and finally adjusted back together in the starting position.
  • each of two levers 4 which can be pivoted parallel to one another in the plane of movement of the gripper rails 3 or a plane parallel to them, act on each gripper rail 3, as can be seen above all from FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the levers 4 of the one gripper rail 3 can be pivoted in the opposite direction to those of the other gripper rail 3 in order to alternately move the two gripper rails 3 towards and away from one another. So that this movement can be carried out largely independently of the feed movement, the levers 4 are each coupled to a longitudinal guide 7 of the gripper rails 3 via a sliding element 6.
  • the gripper rails 3 can also be moved relative to the articulation points of the ends 5 of the levers 4 in the feed direction or in the opposite direction.
  • the swiveling levers 4 each engaging on a gripper rail 3 are mechanically connected to one another by a pull rod 8 according to FIGS.
  • a push rod or another pulling element would also be conceivable, but a pulling rod is particularly cheap because it allows good synchronization of the two pivoting levers 4 acted upon by it with good power transmission and precise guidance at the same time.
  • the fixed pivot bearings 9 of the pivotable levers 4 are on the respective in the exemplary embodiment sides of the gripper rails 3 facing away from one another are arranged at some distance from them.
  • FIG. 3 shows that the pivotable levers 4 are held in the gripping position by a hydraulically or pneumatically acting or mechanical spring or the like restoring element 10 and can be pivoted against the restoring force of the restoring element 10 in the open position.
  • the restoring element 10 can be seen below a shaft 11 which can be rotated in the fixed pivot bearing 9 relative to rolling bearings or the like and which carries the pivot arm 4 on its opposite part which projects above the bearing 9.
  • This arrangement therefore means that the pivoting of the pivot lever 4 only has to be driven in one direction, while the opposite movement is brought about by the restoring element 10. This results in freedom of play for the drive of the swivel levers and thus the execution of the gripping movement, that is to say a high degree of accuracy.
  • the pull rod 8 which connects the two swivel levers 4 to one another, on which, conversely, the swivel levers 4 are rotatably supported with their free end 5, is guided on the gripper rail 3 and can therefore perform a relative sliding movement with respect to the gripper rail 3 or the gripper rail 3 can can be moved in relation to this tie rod 8 in its longitudinal direction.
  • the gripping movements can thus be transmitted from the swivel levers 4 to the gripper rail via the pull rod, the pull rod 8 synchronizing these movements of the swivel levers 4 in a simple manner, while independently of this, the feed movement of the gripper rails 3 is still possible.
  • the pull rod 8 is arranged below the gripper rail 3.
  • the gripper rail 3 carries, as a longitudinal guide 7, at least in some areas, a U-shaped or C-shaped cross-sectional profile, which can be connected to it, for example, by screws 12 and into which the pull rod 8 fits in a sliding fit.
  • a synchronous movement of the swivel lever 4 can be effected and transmitted in the sense of a gripping movement to the gripper rails 3, which, however, can also perform feed and retraction movements relative to these swivel levers 4 and the pull rod 8 that synchronizes them.
  • the gripper rail 3 has a somewhat modified longitudinal guide 7, which consists in that a guide rail 3a is attached to the gripper rail 3, on which a carriage 3b connected to the pull and / or push rod 8 engages .
  • balls 3c can be arranged between the carriage 3b and the guide rail 3a in order to keep the friction as low as possible.
  • the length of the guide carriage 3b oriented in the sliding direction can be seen in FIG. 9.
  • seals 3d can be seen which protect the entire longitudinal guide 7 from contamination.
  • the pivotable lever 4 again engages in a manner not shown, i.e. in this regard, the lever 4 corresponds to the arrangement in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 2 it is shown that the tie rods 8 for the two gripper rails 3 are connected to one another outside the gripping regions, specifically via a connecting link Gripper crossbeam 13, so that a single drive, shown in more detail in FIGS. 6 and 7 and also FIGS. 12 and 13, there, designated 14 as a whole, is sufficient to actuate the swivel lever 4.
