Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kniehebelspannvorrichtung, bestehend aus einem ersten, linear geführten Stellglied, einem daran angelenkten Zwischenglied und einem zweiten, an einem Kopfstück drehbar gelagerten, mit dem Zwischenglied gelenkig verbundenen Stellglied für die Anbringung eines Spannarmes.The invention relates to a toggle lever tensioning device, consisting of a first linear actuator, an intermediate link articulated thereon and a second, rotatably mounted on a head piece, with the intermediate link articulated actuator for attachment a tension arm.

Derartige Vorrichtungen sind bspw. nach dem DE-U- 93 11 132. Was nach dem Stand der Technik dabei die sogenannte Endstellungsabfrage betrifft, so handelt es sich um eine am bzw. auch im Kopfstück angeordnete Geber-Nehmer-Sensorik, über die einerseits die Spannstellung des Spannarmes und andererseits dessen Öffnungsstellung (Rückschwenkstellung) abgefragt bzw. eingestellt werden kann. Ausgegangen wird dabei von Anschlägen (als Geber) an beweglichen Gliedern der Stellmechanik, denen mehr oder weniger aufwendig am Kopfstück Nehmer bspw. in Form sogenannter Mikroschalter zugeordnet sind, die aber, insbesondere was die Öffnungsstellungsanzeige betrifft, einstellbar angeordnet sein müssen. Dies beansprucht Raum im Anordnungsbereich des Kopfstückes, da der Öffnungsstellungssensor zum Spannstellungssensor in einer Distanz angeordnet sein muß, die dem maximal möglichen Rückstellhub entspricht, dabei aber in einem gewissen Bereich einstellbar bleiben muß, um unterschiedlich gewünschten Öffnungsstellungen genügen zu können. Mit Rücksicht auf die Einstellbarkeit der beiden Sensoren, die in der Regel in am Kopfstück ansetzbaren Gehäusen untergebracht sind oder bspw. auch in abdeckelbaren Nischen am Kopfstück, müssen entsprechend veränderbare Halte- bzw. Einstellmittel für diese Sensoren vorgesehen werden und auch ausreichend bewegliche Kabelführungen zu den Sensoren.Such devices are, for example, according to DE-U-93 11 132. What is known as the state of the art End position query concerns, it is a sensor-receiver sensors arranged on or in the head piece, on the one hand the clamping position of the Low tension and on the other hand its open position (Swing-back position) can be queried or set can. Attacks are assumed (as donor) on moving links of the actuating mechanism, which more or less complex on the headpiece slave, for example in shape So-called microswitches are assigned, but which, in particular adjustable for the opening position indicator must be arranged. This takes up space in the Arrangement area of the head piece, since the opening position sensor arranged at a distance from the tension position sensor must be the maximum possible return stroke corresponds, but adjustable in a certain range must remain to differently desired opening positions to be enough. With respect to that Adjustability of the two sensors, which is usually in housings attachable to the head piece or For example, also in coverable niches on the head piece accordingly changeable holding or adjusting means for these sensors are provided and also sufficiently movable Cable routing to the sensors.

Aus dem DE-U- 93 11 132 ist eine Kniehebelspannvorrichtung bekannt, bei der die Mikroschalter an einer die Abdeckung für diese bildenden Mikroschalterhalterung als insgesamt austauschfähige Baueinheit (Platine) befestigt sind. Nachteilig an dieser Mikroschalterhalterung ist, daß auch hier für eine Abfrage unterschiedlicher Endstellungen des Spannarmes die Mikroschalter verstellt werden müssen. Dazu muß stets die Mikroschalterhaltung von der Kniehebelspannvorrichtung demontiert und die Mikroschalter entsprechend den Vorgaben darauf plaziert werden.From DE-U-93 11 132 is a toggle lever tensioning device known in which the microswitch on one the cover for this microswitch bracket attached as an overall interchangeable unit (circuit board) are. A disadvantage of this microswitch bracket is that here too for a query different End positions of the clamping arm adjusted the microswitches Need to become. To do this, the microswitch must always be held disassembled from the toggle clamp and the Microswitch placed on it according to the specifications become.

Ferner ist nach der EP-A-0 255 853 eine Kniehebelspannvorrichtung bekannt, bei der die Bewegung des Spannarmes mittels einer von einem Motor angetriebenen Spindel bewirkt wird. Die Endstellungsabfrage ist auf bekannte Weise dadurch gelöst, daß zwei Sensoren in einer Führungsnut beweglich aber fixierbar angeordnet sind. Somit müssen auch bei dieser Spannvorrichtung zur Änderung der Endstellungen des Spannarmes die Sensoren entsprechend verstellt werden. Gleiches gilt auch für eine Spannvorrichtung nach der FR-A-25 88 494.Furthermore, according to EP-A-0 255 853 is a toggle lever tensioning device known in which the movement of the Clamping arm by means of a motor driven Spindle is effected. The end position query is known on Way solved in that two sensors in one Guide groove are arranged movable but fixable. Thus, even with this clamping device The sensors change the end positions of the clamping arm be adjusted accordingly. The same applies to a tensioning device according to FR-A-25 88 494.

Der Erfindung liegt, ausgehend von einer Kniehebelspann-Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art, was deren Endstellungsabfragung betrifft, die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese dahingehend zu verbessern, daß die beiden Endstellungssensoren keiner Einstellbarkeit und dem damit verbundenen Aufwand mehr bedürfen, diese minimalen Anordnungsplatz beanspruchen und die Einstellbarkeit insbesondere bezüglich der Öffnungsstellung einer unmittelbaren diesbezüglichen Anschlagsverstellung entzogen ist.The invention is based on a toggle clamp device of the type mentioned, what their end position detection concerns the task underlying this to improve in that the two end position sensors no adjustability and the associated These minimal arrangement space require more effort claim and the adjustability in particular the opening position of an immediate one Stop adjustment is withdrawn.

Diese Aufgabe, die auch schon in der FR-A-2 339 766 gelöst ist, wird durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angeführten Merkmale alternativ gelöst.This task, which has already been solved in FR-A-2 339 766, is achieved alternatively solved by the features listed in claim 1.

Unter "Zweifachsensor" ist dabei, egal welche Art von Sensor verwendet wird, ein Sensor zu verstehen, der nebeneinander zwei "Nehmer", was dies auch immer sei, aufweist. werden bspw. Mikroschalter verwendet, so kann es sich dabei um zwei unmittelbar nebeneinander angeordneten Einzelmikroschalter handeln, abgesehen davon, daß auch Mikrodoppelschalter für den vorliegenden Zweck handelsverfügbar sind. Gleiches gilt auch für andere Arten von Sensoren, also bspw. Induktionssensoren.Under "dual sensor" is no matter what type of Sensor is used to understand a sensor that is side by side has two "takers", whatever that may be. If, for example, microswitches are used, it can two directly next to each other Single microswitches act, apart from that too Micro double switches are commercially available for the present purpose are. The same applies to other types of Sensors, e.g. induction sensors.

Was den Schließstellungsnocken am Zwischengliedanlenkstück betrifft, so braucht dieser nur in relativ geringem Maße einstellbar zu sein, während die Öffnungsstellungsabfrage einen wesentlich größeren Bereich verlangt. Die dafür vorgesehene Öffnungswinkelanschlagleiste ist dabei erfindungsgemäß im Grunde nicht einstellbar, sondern lediglich beweglich dem Zwischengliedanlenkstück zugeordnet (wird noch näher erläutert), d.h., die Einstellbarkeit des Öffnungswinkels erfolgt hier nicht mittels des "Gebers" (hier Anschlagleiste), sondern dieser Geber ist nur Vermittler einer in seinem Stellweg vorgenommenen Öffnungswinkeleinstellung. Beim Auflaufen auf den einstellbaren Auflaufanschlag wird die Öffnungewinkelanschlagleiste je nach noch zu erläuternder Ausführungsform entweder gekippt oder quer verstellt und wird dadurch in Wirkstellung zum betreffenden Sensorteil gebracht.As for the closed position cam on the intermediate link link concerns, this needs only relatively little Dimensions to be adjustable during the opening position query requires a much larger area. The provided opening angle stop bar is included basically not adjustable according to the invention, but only movably assigned to the link link (will be explained in more detail), i.e. the adjustability the opening angle is not done here by means of "Encoder" (here stop bar), but this encoder is only intermediary of one made in his travel range Opening angle setting. When running onto the adjustable Overrun stop becomes the opening angle stop bar depending on the embodiment to be explained either tilted or transversely adjusted and is thereby in Active position brought to the relevant sensor part.

Die erfindungsgemäße Kniehebelspannvorrichtung wird nachfolgend anhand der zeichnerischen Darstellung von Ausfürhrungebeispielen näher erläutert.The toggle lever tensioning device according to the invention is as follows based on the graphic representation of execution examples explained in more detail.

Da hier im Grunde nur die Elemente für die Endstellungsanzeige interessieren und die Funktion der Stellmechaniken solcher Spannvorrichtungen hinlänglich bekannt sind, bedarf die Stellmechanik keiner besonderen Erläuterung. Insoweit ist es auch unwesentlich, daß es sich bei den Darstellungen nach den Fig. 2 bis 4 um besondere Ausführungsformen von Stellmechaniken handelt, denen aber das gleiche Funktionspronzip der schematischen Darstellung gemäß Fig. 1 zugrundeliegt.Because here basically only the elements for the end position display interested and the function of the actuating mechanisms such clamping devices are well known, the actuating mechanism requires no special explanation. In this respect, it is also immaterial that the 2 to 4 to special embodiments is about actuating mechanisms, but that same functional principle of the schematic representation based on FIG. 1.

Wegen der hier wesentlichen Anordnung von Schließstellungsnocken 8 und Öffnungswinkelanschlagleisten im Zwischengliedanlenkstück 6 wird zunächst auf Fig. 4 verwiesen, die die Zuordnung dieser Elemente zueinander perspektivisch verdeutlicht. Diese Gestaltung des Zwischengliedanlenkstücks gilt auch insbesondere für Fig. 3, da hierbei die Öffnungswinkelanschlagleiste 9 in gleicher Weise gehalten und geführt ist, d.h., die Öffnungswinkelanschlagleiste 9 ist an zwei Parallelführungsblattfedern 11 im Zwischengliedanlenkstück 6 befestigt. Dargestellt in Fig. 4 ist dabei nur die obere Blattfeder.Because of the essential arrangement of the closed position cams 8 and opening angle stop bars in the intermediate link link 6 is initially referred to FIG. 4, the perspective of the assignment of these elements to each other clarifies. This design of the intermediate link piece also applies in particular to FIG. 3, since here the opening angle stop bar 9 in the same Is held and guided, i.e. the opening angle stop bar 9 is on two parallel guide leaf springs 11 attached in the intermediate link 6. Shown 4 is only the upper leaf spring.

Bei entsprechender Gestaltung des Zwischengliedanlenkstückes 6 ist jedoch die Öffnungswinkelanschlagleiste bevorzugt wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt ausgebildet, d.h., diese ist mit zwei schräg orientierten Kulissenschlitzen 12 an Führungszapfen 13 im Zwischengliedanlenkstück 6 geführt. Die "Schrägstellung" der Kulissenschlitze ist dabei wie dargestellt zu verstehen, denn dadurch wird beim Rückhub des Stellgliedes 1 zusammen mit dem Zwischengliedanlenkstück 6 und einem Aufsetzen der Öffnungswinkelanschlagleiste 9 auf dem Auflaufanschlag 10 die Anschlagleiste 9 hochgedrückt, dabei gleichzeitig quer versetzt und kommt mit dem die Öffnungsstellung anzeigenden Teil des Zweifachsensors 7 in Kontakt. Diese Kulissenführung ist exakter als die Führung mittels Blattfedern 11, die aber das gleiche bewirkt.With a corresponding design of the intermediate link link 6, however, the opening angle stop bar is preferred as shown in Fig. 2, i.e., this is with two diagonally oriented slot slots 12 guided on guide pin 13 in the intermediate link 6. The "slant" of the slotted slots is included to be understood as shown, because this means that Return stroke of the actuator 1 together with the intermediate link piece 6 and putting on the opening angle stop bar 9 on the overrun stop 10 the stop bar 9 pushed up, at the same time offset transversely and comes with the part indicating the open position of the dual sensor 7 in contact. This scenery tour is more precise than the guidance by means of leaf springs 11, the but does the same.

Die eigentliche Öffnungswinkeleinstellung erfolgt also nicht mit der Anschlagleiste 9 selbst, sondern diese ist nur Mittler für die Öffnungswinkeleinstellung am Auflaufanschlag 10, der vorteilhaft in einem zwischen dem Kopfstück 5 und dem Stellgliedantrieb 1' angeordneten Zwischenstück 14 vorgesehen ist, was es entbehrlich macht, im Anschlußbereich des Kopfstückes 5 zum Stellgliedantrieb 1' hin entsprechende Elemente vorsehen zu müssen. Unter Verweis auf die Fig. 2, 2A und 2B ist dieser Einstellbereich derart ausgestaltet, daß der in einer Ausnehmung 15 des Zwischenstückes 14 angeordnete Auflaufanschlag 10 in Form einer das Stellglied 1 mindestens zum Teil umfassenden Hülse 10' mit einem Verzahnungsbereich 16 ausgebildet und dem Auflaufanschlag 10 ein in die Ausnehmung des Zwischenstückes 14 passendes und an diesem fixierbares Füllstück 17 mit einem Gegenverzahnungsbereich 16' zugeordnet ist. Abgesehen von der sehr stark schematisiert dargestellten Zuordnung des Füllstückes 17 im Zwischenstück 14 ist die gewünschte Öffnungswinkeleinstellung für den Spannarm 4 denkbar einfach durchzuführen, und zwar ohne daß man Verstelleingriffe am bzw. im Kopfstück 5 vornehmen muß.The actual opening angle setting is therefore carried out not with the stop bar 9 itself, but this is only center for the opening angle setting on the stopper 10, which is advantageous in one between the Head piece 5 and the actuator drive 1 'arranged Intermediate piece 14 is provided, which makes it unnecessary makes, in the connection area of the head piece 5 to the actuator drive 1 'provide corresponding elements have to. With reference to FIGS. 2, 2A and 2B, this is Setting range designed such that the in a Recess 15 of the intermediate piece 14 arranged stop stop 10 in the form of an actuator 1 at least Part comprising sleeve 10 'with a toothing area 16 formed and the overrun stop 10 into the recess of the adapter 14 matching and on this fixable filler 17 with a counter-tooth area 16 'is assigned. Aside from that very strong Assignment of the filler 17 shown schematically in the intermediate piece 14 is the desired opening angle setting very easy to carry out for the clamping arm 4, and without any adjustment interventions on or in Must make head 5.

Bei entferntem Füllstück 17 wird der Spannarm 4 in die gewünschte Öffnungswinkelstellung gebracht, wobei sich gleichzeitig das Zwischengliedanlenkstück 6 und damit die Öffnungswinkelanschlagleiste 9 in Richtung des Stellgliedantriebes 1' bewegen. In dieser Stellung wird das Füllstück 17, das ja wie die Hülse 10' verzahnt ist, so eingesetzt, daß der Auflaufanschlag 10 am antriebsseitigen Ende der Öffnungswinkelanschlagleiste 9 anliegt, und Verzahnung 16 und Gegenverzahnung 16' zum Eingriff kommen. Danach ist nur noch das Füllstück 17 wieder zu fixieren. With the filler 17 removed, the clamping arm 4 is in the brought desired opening angle position, where at the same time the intermediate link 6 and thus the Opening angle stop bar 9 in the direction of the actuator drive 1 'move. In this position it will Filler 17, which is toothed like the sleeve 10 ', so used that the overrun stop 10 on the drive side End of the opening angle stop bar 9, and toothing 16 and counter toothing 16 'for engagement come. Then only the filler 17 is closed again fix.

Der Zweifachsensor 7 ist übrigens vorteilhaft, wie in Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellt, in einem kleinen Gehäuse 7' untergebracht, das leicht auswechselbar, d.h. lediglich verrastbar am Gehäuse bzw. Kopfstück 5 fixiert ist. Dies kann bspw. durch an der offenen Seite des Gehäuses 7' angeordnete Verrastungsnocken erfolgen (nicht dargestellt), die in entsprechende Öffnungen am Kopfstück 5 eingerastet werden können.Incidentally, the dual sensor 7 is advantageous, as in FIG 2 and 3 shown, housed in a small housing 7 ', that easily replaceable, i.e. only is locked in place on the housing or head piece 5. This can, for example, by arranged on the open side of the housing 7 ' Locking cams take place (not shown), which snapped into corresponding openings on the head piece 5 can be.
