Definitions

  • the invention relates to a setting device for setting an expansion anchor in a Undercut borehole.
  • Expansion anchors point away from a shaft, for example cone-shaped expanding head. He is going into a borehole with a Undercut, which has the shape of a hollow cone, for example, introduced.
  • a shaft for example cone-shaped expanding head.
  • a Undercut which has the shape of a hollow cone, for example, introduced.
  • a setting tool for an expansion anchor is known, which on a The shaft of the expansion anchor can be screwed on. With a hammer blows over a Shaft of the expansion anchor overlap sleeve of the setting tool an impact sleeve of Expansion anchor driven onto an expansion head of the expansion anchor and thereby the Spread anchors spread.
  • the shaft screwed into the setting tool is removed from the Setting tool retained, the setting tool on a workpiece in which the Expansion anchor is anchored, supported.
  • the setting tool is unscrewed from the anchored expansion anchor.
  • the well-known setting tool has the disadvantage that it expands when the expansion sleeve on the expansion body supported on the workpiece in order to retain the shaft of the expansion anchor, see above that parts from the surface of the workpiece can flake off.
  • An additional disadvantage, particularly in the case of plate-shaped workpieces is that the workpiece breaks due to the impact stress when spreading can.
  • the Setting tool according to the invention has a pressure-operated clamping device, by means of which an expansion anchor can be clamped to its shaft in the setting tool.
  • a the shaft part of the tensioning device which is fixed in the expansion anchor is immovable in one Housing of the setting tool attached, is thus retained by the housing during the spreading process, so that the expansion anchor does not exert any forces on the workpiece.
  • the setting tool according to the invention also has a pressure-actuated one Spreading device on, the expansion piston a expansion sleeve of the expansion anchor on the Pushes on the expansion head of the expansion anchor and thereby spreads the expansion anchor. Since the Expansion piston is pressurized with the same pressure as the housing, which is in the Clamping device, the shaft of the expansion anchor is firmly fixed in the housing retained with the same force with which the expansion piston pushes the expansion sleeve onto the Slides on the expansion head. This results in a closed force curve, the workpiece is neither due to the spreading process with a force at the bottom of the borehole nor applied to its surface so that damage to the workpiece is avoided become. Expansion anchors can therefore also be used by means of the setting device according to the invention in thin workpieces with a small remaining wall thickness at the bottom of the borehole.
  • a pressure relief valve separates when the anchor shaft is tightened in the tensioning device an expanding piston pressure chamber from a pressurized clamping piston pressure chamber ab, the expansion piston pressure space is during the tightening of the shaft of the armature thus depressurized. Only opens when a clamping pressure is reached in the clamping piston pressure chamber the pressure relief valve, so that the expansion piston pressure chamber is also pressurized. Switching from tightening the expansion anchor in the setting tool to spreading the The expansion anchor is therefore fully automatic and only after the clamping pressure has been reached and thus after reaching a predeterminable clamping force, which ensures that the Ensures the shaft of the expansion anchor in the setting tool during the expansion process.
  • the tensioning device is actuated and / or expanding pistons with compressed air.
  • the clamping device has a clamping piston with a pressurizable piston Clamping cone on.
  • the tensioning piston is provided with a bore with which it opens a collet is slidably guided, which for clamping the shaft of the Expansion anchor serves.
  • the tensioning piston moves The clamping cone comes onto a cone of the collet and presses it to clamp of the shaft of the expansion anchor in the radial direction.
  • the collet is rigid connected to a housing of the setting tool, it does not move with the tensioning piston With. To this way you get a simply constructed, reliably functioning Clamping device with only one moving part, the clamping piston.
