Definitions
- the present invention relates to a chain assembly method for joining a link chain with alternating outer and inner chain links using prefabricated inner chain links comprising two parallel links and parallel hollow bolts connecting them.
- this object is achieved by a method with the following steps:
- the chain is not built up from the bottom up by resting the lower outer plates. Rather, a different direction of assembly is selected here, which has hitherto only been known for cranked track chains.
- the hollow pin axes therefore run essentially parallel to the support or holding surface of the inner chain link. This means that the inner chain link rests with the lower narrow sides (or a region thereof) of the inner link plates or a region of the outer jacket of the hollow bolts. The lower narrow sides of the outer plates can also rest.
- rollers for producing a roller chain
- the hollow pin axes are mainly aligned horizontally.
- the lower narrow sides and a plane running through the two hollow pin axes are also advantageously aligned horizontally.
- the inner chain link is accessible from two sides, which is why the outer link plates can also be fed in from both sides at the same time.
- the layer structure has so far not allowed any other assembly sequence, since otherwise the chain pin would have to be pushed completely through a tab.
- chain links are usually installed link by chain link, it may well be provided that the individual steps are carried out in parallel on several chain links at the same time.
- the inner chain link can be arranged on the support or holding surface in such a way that the hollow pin axes are arranged essentially perpendicular to the force of gravity. This means that both tabs can be used for support.
- the feeding of the outer plates for the outer chain link can be freely accessible from both sides, because not one of the outer plates has to serve as a horizontal support.
- the inner chain link is first positioned and then the associated chain pins are fed in for positioning.
- the overlying inner chain link in no way hinders the subsequent relative insertion of the chain pin into the inner chain link.
- the outer plates of a pair of outer plates can be pre-positioned simultaneously from both sides relative to the associated inner chain links. This process step should be carried out as uniformly as possible so that the entire process can be integrated into one work cycle.
- the feeding has to be completed only minimally before the two outer plates are pressed on, so that the entire process can be clocked very effectively here. Due to the simultaneous pressing on of the outer link plates, these two pressing processes at the ends of the chain bolts have only a very slight influence on one another. With chain assembly processes that have been mostly used up to now, one press connection is always ready before the other is created. Here it must be ensured that as little influence as possible is influenced by further pressing processes on the press connection that was completed first.
- a method variant advantageously provides that the method steps are combined into four cycle groups, the steps of a cycle group being carried out simultaneously by machine.
- a cycle group always means a reciprocating movement of a pressing tool for mounting the components.
- the bar groups are divided as follows:
- the first cycle group comprises the steps of providing at least one completely prefabricated inner chain link, positioning the inner chain link so that the hollow pin axis of the at least one inner chain link is aligned essentially parallel to the support or holding surface of the inner chain link,
- the second cycle group comprises the steps of providing at least one chain pin, positioning the at least one chain pin so that the pin axis is arranged coaxially with the hollow pin axis of the associated hollow pin of an inner chain link, inserting the chain pin into the hollow pin by relative displacement of the chain pin and the at least one Inner chain link to each other, so that the end regions of the chain pin protrude on both sides,
- the third cycle group comprises the steps of providing at least one pair of outer link plates with a receiving bore for the chain pins, positioning the at least one pair of outer link plates so that each end region of a chain pin is assigned one of the outer link plates of a pair of outer link plates and the axis of the receiving hole is aligned with the axis of the associated chain pin, press on the two outer link plates of a pair of outer link plates in one operation onto the end regions of two chain pins to produce an outer chain link connected to at least two inner chain links arranged in series,
- the fourth cycle group comprises the step of riveting the front ends of the chain bolts.
- the chain to be produced is moved forward in cycles or steps and these four cycle groups are executed one after the other. This means that after four cycle groups, at least one inner chain link is always connected to one outer chain link. In theory, it would also be conceivable to combine the first two cycle groups if the supply problem can be dealt with in the short time.
- the Middle plates can later be pressed onto the chain pin or loosely seated on it. Depending on the number of tracks of the multiple chain running side by side, a corresponding number of inner chain links are arranged side by side. The inner chain links are then separated from each other by a middle link or two middle links. Like the outer plates, a middle plate connects two inner chain links together with the associated chain pins.
- cycle groups In the production of multiple chains, too, the process steps are preferably combined into cycle groups.
- cycle groups Here it is conveniently five cycle groups, with the steps of a cycle group being carried out simultaneously by machine.
- the bar groups are grouped as follows:
- the first cycle group comprises the steps of providing at least one completely prefabricated inner chain link, positioning the inner chain link so that the hollow pin axis of the at least one inner chain link is aligned essentially parallel to the contact surface or holding surface of the inner chain link, arranging at least two completely prefabricated inner chain links lying next to one another, so that the hollow pin axes of the adjacent inner chain links are arranged coaxially to one another,
- the second cycle group comprises the steps of joining between adjacent inner chain links of at least one middle link plate with a receiving bore for the chain bolts, so that the bore axes are arranged coaxially with the hollow bolt axes,
- the third cycle group comprises the steps of providing at least one chain pin, positioning the at least one chain pin so that the pin axis is arranged coaxially with the hollow pin axis of the associated hollow pin and the receiving hole of the center link, inserting the chain pin into the hollow pin and the receiving hole of the center link by relative means Shifting the chain pin, the at least one inner chain link and the center link to each other so that the end regions of the chain pin protrude on both sides,
- the fourth cycle group comprises the steps of providing at least one pair of outer link plates with a receiving bore for the chain bolts, positioning the at least one pair of outer link plates, so that each end region of a chain pin is assigned one of the outer link plates of a pair of outer link plates and the axis of the receiving hole is aligned with the axis of the associated chain pin, press on the two outer link plates of a pair of outer link plates in one operation onto the end regions of two chain pins to produce an outer chain link connected to at least two inner chain links arranged in series,
- the fifth cycle group comprises the step of riveting the front ends of the chain bolts.
- first and the second cycle group can also be carried out in the reverse order when producing multiple chains. If you start with a double chain with the center link, the structure is again symmetrical from the center line starting from the inside to the outside. There is also the possibility here of first inserting the pin relative to the central link into the receiving bore and then fitting the inner chain links from both sides.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic flow diagram for joining a single chain in four clock steps and Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a flow chart for creating a double chain in five clock steps.
- FIG. 1 shows, in simplified form, an inner chain link 1 which, although it can be made from a block, preferably comprises two parallel inner plates 2 and 3 and hollow pins 4 and 5 connecting them together.
- the hollow bolts 4 and 5 are pressed into bores of the inner plates 2 and 3 and keep the inner plates 2 and 3 at a distance.
- the hollow pin axes A are aligned horizontally in the first cycle group of the assembly process, which means that they are arranged essentially perpendicular to the effect of gravity. However, this also means that FIG. 1 can be viewed as a top view.
- rollers for producing a roller chain can also be arranged on the hollow bolts 4 and 5.
- the outer plates 10 and 11 are fed as a pair.
- the alignment of the outer plates 10 and 11 takes place parallel to the orientation of the inner plates 2 and 3; however, offset from one another along the chain center axis M, so that the outer plates 10 and 11 each have two chain links 1 get connected.
- the outer plates 10 and 11 each have two spaced-apart cylindrical receiving bores 12 and 13, the bore axis B of which are aligned coaxially with the chain pin axis or hollow pin axis A.
- pressing takes place by simultaneously pushing the outer link plates 10 and 11 onto the end regions of the chain pins 6 and 7.
- the outer link plates 10 and 11 are each pushed onto two chain pins 6 and 7 of adjacent inner chain links 1. This postponement takes place immediately to measure.
- a pliers movement is carried out symmetrically to the center axis M, while the chain pins 6 and 7 are centered symmetrically to the chain center axis M or are fixed before the outer plates 10 and 11 are pressed on.
- a device such as that described in DE 19836374 is suitable for performing such a process. This allows the center fixing of two chain pins 6 and 7 simultaneously and a subsequent centered pushing of the outer link plates 10 and 11 from both sides simultaneously. This means that both outer plates 10 and 11 perform a relative movement to the stationary chain pins 6 and 7 and to the stationary chain main axis M.
- the protruding end regions of the chain pins 6 and 7 are riveted by a riveting process.
- Each of the cycle groups is carried out at a station of a chain assembly device before the chain to be assembled is moved further by one cycle step.
- a method variant for the assembly of a multiple chain is described below with reference to FIG. 2. In the specific case, it is a double chain. If reference is made to structurally identical and functionally identical components, the same reference numbers are used and reference is made to the preceding description for this purpose, avoiding repetitions.
- two inner chain links 1 arranged parallel to one another are pre-positioned in such a way that their hollow pin axes A are aligned with one another and are arranged at a small distance from one another.
- the inner chain links 1 can be constructed or modified, as already described above. The arrangement is such that the hollow pin axes A are arranged horizontally, that is essentially perpendicular to the effect of gravity.
- two middle plates 14 and 15 are inserted into the gap 16 between the inner chain links 1.
- the center straps have two cylindrical receiving bores 17 and 18 arranged at a distance from one another, the bore axes of which are aligned coaxially or in alignment with the hollow pin axes A.
- the center plates 14 and 15 are arranged offset along the main center axis M to the inner chain links 1, so that a center plate 14 or 15 is assigned to two inner chain links 1.
- the middle plates 14 and 15 are also arranged parallel to the inner plates 2 and 3 of the inner chain links 1.
- the chain pins 6 and 7 are first prepositioned so that they are each aligned coaxially with the associated hollow pin axes A, before they are then in the openings 8 and 9 of the hollow pins 4 and 5 and in receiving holes 17 and 18 of the two center plates 14 and 15 are inserted so that the end regions of the chain pins 6 and 7 laterally protrude beyond the inner chain links 1.
- the outer plates 10 and 11 are simultaneously fed from the side, so that the axes B of their receiving bores 12 and 13 are aligned coaxially with the associated axes A of the chain pins 6 and 7 or the hollow pins 4 and 5.
- the outer link plates are arranged in exactly the same way as the middle link plates 14 and 15 in the direction of the main chain center axis M.
- the outer link plates 10 and 11 are pressed onto the end regions of the chain pins 6 and 7 symmetrically to the main chain axis M.
- the chain pins 6 and 7 previously symmetrically centered or fixed to the main chain axis M and then the Outer plates 10 and 11 are pushed onto the stationary chain pins 6 and 7 at the same time.
- each cycle group means moving the chain forward by one cycle step, while the substeps are carried out within a cycle group.
- the cycle groups can also be executed in a different order.
- the cycle groups four and five then run again in the usual order.
- this different order does not increase the total number of cycle groups to be carried out.
- each assembly track of a multiple chain would again have a few assembly cycle groups, because a layer of inner chain links has to be put on again after joining a middle link.
- the invention thus leads to a considerable reduction in the cycle groups in a timed manufacturing process for producing “simple” link chains consisting of inner chain links and outer chain links.
