Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrisch betätigbare Werkstück-Spannvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, die aus dem Dokument EP 0 243 599 A bekannt ist.The invention relates to an electrically operable workpiece clamping device according to the preamble of claim 1, from Document EP 0 243 599 A is known.

Eine derartige Spannvorrichtung ist auch beispielsweise nach der DE 36 38 526 C1 bekannt. Mit der axialen Zuordnung von Elektroantrieben zum Spannkopf sollen die bislang weitaus häufiger benutzten Pneumatik- oder Hydraulikantriebe in Form von Betätigungszylindern ersetzt werden. Problematisch ist dabei die Krafteinbringung, die bei Elektroantrieben auf Kosten der Baubreite solcher Spannvorrichtungen geht, da sich ein höheres Leistungsvermögen des Elektroantriebes im Durchmesser des Elektromotors niederschlägt, der dann zwangsläufig größer ist als die Baubreite des Spannkopfes. Mit Rücksicht auf die Verwendung solcher Spannvorrichtungen beispielsweise im Karosseriebau wird jedoch grundsätzlich eine möglichst schmale Baubreite angestrebt, die jedoch bei verlangter hoher Krafteinbringung nicht einzuhalten ist.Such a clamping device is also for example according to the DE 36 38 526 C1 known. With the axial assignment of electric drives to the clamping head are the far more frequently used Pneumatic or hydraulic drives in the form of actuating cylinders be replaced. The problem is the Incorporation of force at electric drives at the expense of width such tensioners goes, since a higher Capacity of the electric drive in the diameter of the Electric motor reflected, which is then inevitably larger as the width of the clamping head. With regard to the use such tensioning devices, for example in the body shop However, basically a narrow width possible desired, but at the required high power input can not be maintained.

Ausgehend von einer Spannvorrichtung der gattungsgemäßen Art, liegt der Neuerung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine solche Spannvorrichtung hinsichtlich ihres Antriebes dahingehend auszubilden und zu verbessern, daß dieser trotz hohem Leistungsvermögens nur eine vergleichsweise schmalen Baubreite verlangt und im Bedarsfall bequem zugänglich ist.Starting from a clamping device of the generic type, the innovation is the object of such a clamping device in terms of their drive to train and to improve that despite its high performance only a comparatively narrow width required and is conveniently accessible when needed.

Diese Aufgabe ist mit einer Spannvorrichtung der eingangs geannten Art nach der Erfindung durch die im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved with a clamping device of the beginning geannten type of the invention by the im Claim 1 mentioned features.

Mit dieser erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung ist die gestellte Forderung erfüllt. Die Alternativangabe "direkt oder indirekt in Wirkverbindung stehend" wird noch näher erläutert. With this inventive design is the demand Fulfills. The alternative statement "directly or indirectly in Active compound standing "will be explained in more detail.

Die Einrichtungen zur Wandlung der Drehbewegung in eine translatorische Bewegung sind aus folgenden Elementen gebildet:The means for converting the rotary motion into a translatory Movements are made up of the following elements:

Zwischen den Motoren ist eine drehbar gelagerte, mit einem Zahnrad versehene Hohlwelle angeordnet, in die die Gewindespindel bei Rückstellung bzw. Öffnung der Spannvorrichtung eintauchen kann.Between the engines is a rotatably mounted, with one Geared hollow shaft arranged in the threaded spindle upon return or opening of the clamping device can dive.

Auf den Abtriebswellen der beiden Motoren sind mit dem Zahnrad der Hohlwelle im Eingriff stehende Antriebsritzel angeordnet. Zwischen der Hohlwelle und der Gewindespindel ist vorzugsweise ein mit der Hohlwelle drehbares und mit der Gewindespindel im Eingriff stehendes Übertragungselement angeordnet, das bevorzugt in Form einer Kugelumlaufmutter ausgebildet ist.On the output shafts of the two motors are with the gear arranged the hollow shaft engaging drive pinion. Between the hollow shaft and the threaded spindle is preferably a with the hollow shaft rotatable and with the threaded spindle in engagement standing transmission element arranged, preferably in the form a ball nut is formed.

Das Zahnrad und die mit diesem im Eingriff stehenden Antriebsritzel sind am unteren Endbereich der Hohlwelle angeordnet. Dieser Teil des Antriebes ist daher bequem von unten her im Bedarfsfall zugänglich.The gear and the engaged with this Drive pinions are on arranged lower end portion of the hollow shaft. this part the drive is therefore easily accessible from below if necessary.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen bestehen in Folgendem:
Der Abstand der Seitenwände des die beiden Motoren aufnehmenden Gehäuses zueinander ist gleich oder im wesentlichen gleich der Breite des auf dem Gehäuse aufgesattelten Spannkopfes, was nichts anderes bedeutet, als daß die vom jeweiligen Spannkopf her vorgegebene Breite für das Motorengehäuse voll ausgenutzt wird.
Advantageous developments consist in the following:
The distance between the side walls of the housing receiving the two motors to each other is equal to or substantially equal to the width of the chucked on the housing chuck, which means nothing else than that of the respective clamping head predetermined width for the motor housing is fully utilized.

Diese im wesentlichen bekannten Einrichtungsbauteile schaffen in Verbindung mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Einbau zweier Motoren für dem Antrieb der Spannvorrichtung die Voraussetzung für eine möglichst kompakte Bauweise und auch zweckmäßige Montagehandhabung des Antriebes, und zwar nicht nur hinsichtlich eines möglichst geringen Abstandes der Seitenwände des Gehäuse, sondern auch hinsichtlich möglichst geringer Abmessungen in Erstreckungsrichtung des Spannarmes der Spannvorrichtung. So kann das vorerwähnte Übertragungselement in einer topfartigen Erweiterung am oberen Ende der Hohlwelle angeordnet sein. In Verbindung damit kann der untere, den spannarmfernen Endbereich der Hohlwelle, das Zahnrad und die Antriebsritzel aufnehmende Teil des Gehäuses diesem als lösbares Gehäuseteil zugeordnet sein. Damit ist eine günstige Montage geschaffen.Create these essentially known Einrichtungsbauteile in connection with the installation according to the invention of two motors for the drive of the clamping device, the prerequisite for a compact design as possible and also suitable assembly handling of the drive, and not just in terms of one the smallest possible distance of the side walls of the housing, but also with regard to the smallest possible dimensions in the extension direction the tensioning arm of the tensioning device. So can the aforementioned transmission element in a pot-like extension be arranged at the upper end of the hollow shaft. In connection Thus, the lower, the clamping arm remote end portion of the hollow shaft, the gear and the drive pinion receiving part of Housing this be assigned as a detachable housing part. In order to is a cheap installation created.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung besteht darin, daß das untere Ende der Hohlwelle den Boden des Gehäuses mindestens bündig mit diesem abschließend durchgreift und mit einem Fremdantriebs-Anschlußelement versehen ist. Dadurch bleibt die Spannvorrichtung auch bei Stromausfall oder Motorschaden betätigbar.A further advantageous embodiment is that the lower end of the hollow shaft the bottom of the housing at least flush with this conclusive and with a Foreign drive connection element is provided. This leaves the Clamping device also operable in case of power failure or engine damage.

Die erfindungsgemäße Spannvorrichtung und weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen werden nachfolgend anhand der zeichnerischen Darstellung eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert.The tensioning device according to the invention and further advantageous Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings Representation of an embodiment explained in more detail.

Der Spannkopf 1 mit seiner Stellmechanik SM und dessen Funktion bedarf dabei keine besonderen Erläuterung, da hinlänglich bekannt, ganz abgesehen davon, daß sich ein solcher Spannkopf bzw. eine solche Spannvorrichtung auch ohne weiteres mit einem pneumatischen oder hydraulischen Betätigungszylinder betreiben ließe, wobei lediglich die Gewindespindel 3 durch die Schubstange des jeweiligen Betätigungszylinders ersetzt würde.The electrically operated clamping device consists of a on a chuck 1 arranged electric drive 2 for actuation a threaded spindle 3, which arranged with the in the chuck 1 Actuating mechanism SM for the clamping arm 4 in operative connection stands. The chuck 1 with its adjusting mechanism SM and its function requires no special explanation, since well known, quite apart from the fact that such a Chuck or such a fixture also readily with a pneumatic or hydraulic actuating cylinder let operate, with only the threaded spindle 3 through the Push rod of the respective actuating cylinder would be replaced.

Für die erfindungsgemäße Spannvorrichtung ist nun unter Verweis auf die Fig. 1 und 3 wesentlich, daß der in einem Gehäuse 5 angeordnete Elektroantrieb 2 aus zwei sich in ihrer Leistung addierenden, synchron geschalteten Motoren 6 gebildet ist, die mechanisch mit Einrichtungen 7 zur Wandlung ihrer Drehbewegung in eine translatorische Bewegung des mit der Gewindespindel 3 in Verbindung stehenden ersten Gliedes der Stellmechanik SM gekoppelt sind. Die Achsen 8 der Motoren 6 und die sich mittig zwischen deren Achsen 8 erstreckende Achse 9 der Gewindespindel 3 stehen senkrecht auf einer gedachten Geraden 10 (siehe Fig. 3) und die sich zur Geraden 10 parallel erstreckenden Seitenwände 11 des Gehäuses 5 sind mit einem Abstand A zueinander distanziert, der geringfügig größer (um die doppelte Wandstärke des Gehäuses 5) ist als der Durchmesser D der Motoren 6, für die im übrigen aus Kostengründen vorteilhaft handelserhältliche Großserien-Motoren zur Verwendung kommen.For the clamping device according to the invention is now under reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 substantially that in a housing. 5 arranged electric drive 2 of two in their performance adding, synchronously connected motors 6 is formed, the mechanically with means 7 for converting their rotary motion in a translational movement of the with the threaded spindle. 3 related first member of the actuating mechanism SM are coupled. The axles 8 of the motors 6 and the center between the axes 8 extending axis 9 of the threaded spindle 3 are perpendicular to an imaginary line 10 (see FIG. 3) and extending parallel to the straight line 10 side walls 11 of the housing 5 are at a distance A from each other distanced, the slightly larger (by twice the wall thickness of the housing 5) is as the diameter D of the motors 6, for the otherwise commercially advantageous for cost reasons Large series engines come for use.

Unter Verweis auf Fig. 2 ist dieser Abstand A derart bemessen, daß dieser vorzugsweise gleich oder im wesentlichen gleich der Breite B des auf dem Gehäuse 5 aufgesattelten Spannkopfes 1 ist.With reference to FIG. 2, this distance A is dimensioned such that that this is preferably the same or substantially the same Width B of the saddle mounted on the housing 5 clamping head. 1 is.

Die Einrichtungen 7 zur Wandlung der Drehbewegung in eine translatorische Bewegung bestehen im Einzelnen aus einer zwischen den Motoren 6 drehbar gelagerten, mit einem Zahnrad 12 versehenen Hohlwelle 13, in die die Gewindespindel 3 bei Axialverstellung eintaucht. Auf den Abtriebswellen 14 der beiden Motoren 6 sind mit dem Zahnrad 12 der Hohlwelle 13 im Eingriff stehende Antriebsritzel 15 angeordnet, deren Drehung damit der Hohlwelle 13 entsprechend übersetzt vermittelt und deren Drehung wiederum per vorzugsweise als Kugelumlaufmutter ausgebildetem Übertragungselement 16 als translatorische Verstellbewegung der Gewindespindel 3 übertragen wird.The means 7 for converting the rotational movement in one In detail, translational movement consists of an inter-relationship the motors 6 rotatably mounted, with a gear 12th provided hollow shaft 13, in which the threaded spindle 3 at Axial adjustment dips. On the output shafts 14 of the two Motors 6 are connected to the gear 12 of the hollow shaft 13 in Engaging drive pinion 15 arranged, whose rotation so that the hollow shaft 13 translated translated accordingly and whose turn turn by preferably as ball nut trained transmission element 16 as translational adjustment the threaded spindle 3 is transmitted.

Dieses Übertragungselement 16 bzw. diese Kugelumlaufmutter ist, wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, fest in einer topfartigen Erweiterung 17 am oberen Ende der Hohlwelle 13 untergebracht, welche Erweiterung 17 gleichzeitig und wie angedeutet zur Axial- und Radiallagerung der Hohlwelle 13 an deren oberen Endbereich mit ausgenutzt ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 steht also die nicht drehende Gewindespindel 3 in direkter Verbindung mit dem ersten Glied der Stellmechanik.This transmission element 16 or this ball nut is, as shown in Fig. 1, fixed in a pot-like extension 17 housed at the upper end of the hollow shaft 13, which Extension 17 at the same time and as indicated to the axial and Radial storage of the hollow shaft 13 at the upper end with is exploited. In this embodiment according to FIG. 1 is So the non-rotating threaded spindle 3 in direct connection with the first link of the actuating mechanism.

Möglich ist aber auch, was nicht besonders dargestellt ist, da ohne weiteres vorstellbar, eine kinematische Umkehrung dahingehend, daß die Hohlwelle 13 mit der Stellmechanik SM verbunden ist. Die Erweiterung 17 ist dabei nach unten gerichtet und die dann von den Zahnrädern 12, 15 angetriebene Gewindespinel 3 greift von unten her in die Hohlwelle 13 ein. Statt des die Erweiterung 17 umfassenden Nadellagers in Fig.1 muß dann für eine verdrehfeste, aber eine Axialverschiebung zulassende Halterung der Hohlwelle 13 gesorgt werden, d.h., bei einer solchen Ausführungsform steht die Gewindespindel 3 mit der Stellmechanik via Hohlwelle 13 in indirekter Wirkverbindung. Bevorzugt wird jedoch die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Ausführungsform, da diese mit geringerem Aufwand verbunden ist.It is also possible, which is not particularly shown because readily imaginable, a kinematic reversal to that effect, that the hollow shaft 13 is connected to the adjusting mechanism SM is. The extension 17 is directed downward and the then driven by the gears 12, 15 threaded spindle. 3 engages from below into the hollow shaft 13 a. Instead of the Extension 17 comprehensive needle bearing in Fig.1 must then for a non-rotating, but allowing an axial displacement bracket the hollow shaft 13, that is, in such a Embodiment is the threaded spindle 3 with the adjusting mechanism via hollow shaft 13 in indirect operative connection. Prefers However, the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, da this is associated with less effort.

Das Zahnrad 12 und die mit diesem im Eingriff stehenden Antriebsritzel 15 der beiden Motoren 6 sind vorteilhaft und leicht zugriffszugänglich am unteren Endbereich der Hohlwelle 13, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, plaziert, wobei der untere, den unteren Endbereich der Hohlwelle 13, das Zahnrad 12 und die Antriebsritzel 15 aufnehmende Teil des Gehäuses 5 diesem als lösbares Gehäuseteil 5' zugeordnet ist.The gear 12 and the meshing with this drive pinion 15 of the two motors 6 are advantageous and Easily accessible at the lower end of the hollow shaft 13, as shown in Fig. 1, placed, the lower, the lower end portion of the hollow shaft 13, the gear 12 and the Drive pinion 15 receiving part of the housing 5 this as detachable housing part 5 'is assigned.

Ebenfalls mit in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist die vorteilhafte Maßgabe, daß das untere Ende 18 der Hohlwelle 13 den Boden 19 des Gehäuses 5 durchgreift und mit einem Fremdantriebs-Anschlußelement 20 versehen ist. In der dargestellten Ausführungsform handelt es sich bei diesem Element beispielsweise einfach um ein Mehrkantsackloch, in das ein entsprechender beispielsweise Innensechskantschlüssel eingesteckt wird, um damit bei Ausfall des motorischen Antriebes per Hand eine Verstellung der Spannvorrichtung vornehmen zu können.Also shown in FIG. 1 is the advantageous proviso that the lower end 18 of the hollow shaft 13, the bottom 19 of the Housing 5 passes through and with a foreign-drive connection element 20 is provided. In the illustrated embodiment For example, this element is simply um a polygonal blind hole into which a corresponding example Allen key is inserted, so that in case of failure the motor drive by hand an adjustment of the clamping device to be able to make.

An der rückwärtigen Schmalsseite 21 des Gehäuses 5 ist ein Steuerelektronikgehäuse 22 angebracht, das mit im Spannkopf 1 in herkömmlicher Weise angeordneten Endstellungsfühlern 23 in Verbindung steht.At the rear narrow side 21 of the housing 5 is a Control electronics housing 22 attached, which in the chuck 1 in conventionally arranged Endstellungsfühlern 23 in Connection stands.

Mit Rücksicht auf die Abfuhr der von den Motoren entwickelten Wärme kann das Gehäuse 5 im Bereich der Motoren 6 mit Wanddurchbrechungen 24 versehen sein, durch die eine direkte Wärmeabstrahlung ermöglicht wird. Abgesehen davon ist durch das insbesondere im Bereich der Motorenanordnung dünnwandige Gehäuse 5 per se zumindest für eine ausreichende Wärmeableitung gesorgt.With regard to the discharge of the engines developed by Heat can the housing 5 in the region of the motors 6 with wall openings Be provided 24 through which a direct heat radiation is possible. Apart from that is through the in particular in the field of engine arrangement thin-walled housing 5 per se at least for adequate heat dissipation taken care of.

Was das die Motoren 6 aufnehmende Gehäuse 5 betrifft, so kann dieses vorteilhaft aus zwei Halbschalen 25 gebildet sein, die im Urformverfahren beispielsweise Druckgußverfahren hergestellt werden können. As for the housing 6 receiving the motors 6, it may this advantageously be formed of two half-shells 25, the produced in the molding process, for example, die casting can be.
