Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ejector device, in particular for a Multi-stage press, a cold converter and a method for adjusting the lifting height of an ejector device.
  • Present invention is particularly applicable to any type of cold converter, in particular on multi-stage low-pressure converter.
  • Such a cold converter is known for example from EP 0 354 428 A2 known.
  • this workpieces are in a multi-stage process cold formed by placing the respective workpiece from a forming station transported to another and in each of these stations by one Stamp and a corresponding die is reshaped. Depending on the made Forming process, the workpieces must by ejector ejected from the die or from the stamp.
  • an ejector device for ejecting pressed parts from a die of a press from the published patent application DE 24 14 442 A1 known.
  • an ejector lever which drives an ejector pin for ejecting pressed parts, driven by a rocker with a roller by means of an intermediate lever, the connected via a coupling rod with a curve of a drive shaft is.
  • the present invention relates in particular to the field of the die-side Ejector, wherein the matrices the stationary part of the die-stamp assembly form.
  • the invention proposes on the one hand an ejector device, in particular for a cold converter, in which one with a rotating Ejector drive shaft operatively connected ejector lever a Auswerferstössel drives, and in which on the ejector drive shaft a curve is provided along which a cam follower runs, wherein the cam follower drives the ejector lever via an intermediate link and the intermediate link comprises an intermediate link car, which at the cam follower is displaceable along a guide rail.
  • the lifting height and optionally also the periodic movement of the ejector lever be changed in a relatively simple manner. For this, for example, needs the intermediate link only to be relocated.
  • the intermediate link is particularly easy in its movement manageable when the intermediate link an intermediate link lever includes.
  • the intermediate link lever is at a displaceable Intermediate link axle stored, so that by shifting the Intermediate link axle, a displacement of the intermediate link or the intermediate link lever immediately the leverage between cam follower, Intermediate link and ejector lever influenced.
  • the intermediate link may comprise an intermediate link car, which along at least one guide track on the Ejector lever is displaced.
  • This shift can on the one hand to Adjusting the lifting height or other changes of the movement sequence be used of the ejector lever.
  • this shift can between intermediate link and cam follower or between intermediate link and ejector lever also during the cyclic movement the ejector device, so that in the adjustment of the movement sequence of the ejector lever to the movement of the cam follower a very large variability can be guaranteed.
  • the intermediate link car can force-free along a respective handlebar be relocated when the displacement track with the handlebar matches.
  • the intermediate link car bridges a gap between the ejector and the cam follower, so can a power-free Shifting occurs when this distance along the relocation path the intermediate steering wheel remains constant.
  • the intermediate steering carriage is both along a guide rail the ejector lever as well as along a guide track of the cam follower movable trained.
  • a guide of the intermediate link car on a fixed assembly Realize so that the moving assemblies of the ejector do not need to be burdened with this guide.
  • the freedom of force described above can also be realized thereby in that the ejector device has an adjustment position in which the intermediate link car can be moved without that during the Displacement of the ejector lever is shifted.
  • the intermediate link bridges a space between the ejector lever and the cam follower and is along this gap It is displaceable between an initial position and an end position advantageous when the ejector lever axis at the of the gap opposite side of the initial position and the cam follower axis at the is arranged facing away from the gap side of the end position.
  • the ejector limits this gap from one side and the cam follower this gap from the other side.
  • the two lever arms thus range from different Pages on the intermediate link out. Will now be the intermediate link shifts, one lever arm shortens while the other one shortens Lever extended. A shortening of the lever arm, with which the driving cam follower acts on the intermediate link, requires a Reduction of the amplitude.
  • the ejector lever side End of the ejector ram is adjustable by means of adjusting, a Wälzgetriebe be provided as part of the adjusting.
  • a Wälzgetriebe can drive and output easily from each other separate. In this way, can quickly and safely space for Maintenance work to be created. It goes without saying that such Adjustment means comprising a Wälzgetriebe, regardless of the remaining features of the present invention in an ejector device can be used advantageously.
  • a particularly secure transmission connection can be realized if the Wälzgetriebe a worm gear drives.
  • the ejector device 1 has a rotating drive shaft 2, on which a curve 5 is provided. This curve 5 is followed by a cam follower 6, which is mounted on a cam follower axis 16.
  • the movement of the cam follower 6 is via an intermediate link, which comprises an intermediate link lever 7 and an intermediate link carriage 9, transferred to an ejector 3, which is an ejector ram 4 drives in a conventional manner.
  • This is the ejector lever 3 is pressed by a return spring 17 against the intermediate link, so that he immediately follows his movement.
  • the intermediate link is on shelves 10 and 11 of the ejector lever 3rd or the cam follower 6 along two guide tracks displaced. in this connection Run the handlebars on the surface of the Auswerfhebels. 3 or the cam follower 6.
  • the displacement takes place here in that an axle 8 of the intermediate link lever 7 is mounted in a carriage 18, which can be moved along a guide 19.
  • the Carriage 18 via a transmission 20 with a motor drive 21 operatively connected. It can also be provided a manual drive.
  • the intermediate link is between an initial position and an end position along the handlebars 10 and 11 displaced. Bridged here he a gap between the ejector 3 and the cam follower. In the figure, the intermediate link is near its initial position shown. As can be seen immediately, is the axis 15 of the Auswerferhebels 3 on the side facing away from this gap side of the Starting position, while the axis 16 of the cam follower 6 on the The side facing away from the intermediate space of the end position is located. The cam follower 6 and the ejector 3 thus encompass this gap from different sides, so when relocating the Intermediate link extends one lever while the other shortened, or vice versa.
  • the figure shows the ejector device in the front dead center of the ejector lever 3.
  • This state is also the cam follower. 6 at the highest point of the curve 5.
  • the shelves 11 and 10 of the ejector lever 3 or the cam follower 6 are designed such that in this position both run parallel to each other. In this way the intermediate link can force-free between the shelves 10 and 11th be relocated. Moreover, it is ensured in such an arrangement, that the front dead center always remains in the same position.
  • the ejector device 1 also has a counter-stop 12 for the ejector ram 4 on.
  • This counter-stop 12 is by a the counter-stop 12 attached screw adjustable.
  • This screw is connected to a gear 13, which with its sprocket in a Toothed roller 14 engages, thus by means of a motor drive 22 serves as adjusting means for the counter-stop 12.
  • the roller 14 and the motor drive 22 are connected to a lever 23 along a guide 24th pivotally mounted so that they can quickly turn into one for maintenance Maintenance position can be pivoted.
