Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hydraulic rotary actuator for a gripper, which has two forceps movable gripping arms, in particular clamshell buck, with two rotatably mounted in a shell carrier, mutually parallel pivot shafts whose shaft ends are connected to the gripping arms, and with a shaft drive piece which is parallel to the Swivel shafts is mounted displaceably and is in screw engagement with both pivot shafts, so that by pivoting the shaft drive piece, the pivot shafts are rotated in opposite directions.
  • Such a rotary actuator for a clamshell grab is from the DE 201 07 206 U1 known, in which the pivot shafts are each part of a hydraulic motor which is enclosed by the shell carrier formed as a closed housing.
  • each pipe sections which are longitudinally displaceable, but rotatably guided and are in screw engagement with the respective pivot shaft, so that a longitudinal displacement of the pipe pieces leads to a rotation of the pivot shafts.
  • the pipe sections are connected by a common center piece, with Together they form a piston, which is housed inside the housing, which forms the cylinder for the piston.
  • the housing defines on both sides of this piston in each case a pressure chamber which can be acted upon by hydraulic fluid.
  • the piston and the tube pieces provided thereon move in one or the other direction, so that the pivot shafts either swing open or pivot the gripper shells attached thereto.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improved rotary actuator of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art and the latter further develops in an advantageous manner.
  • Preferably should be provided with a structurally simple construction, a larger center distance of the pivot shafts.
  • the rotary actuator is thus characterized according to the invention in that the shaft drive piece, which is in screw engagement with the pivot shafts, is driven by at least one plunger which can be acted upon hydraulically. It no longer forms the entire shaft drive piece of the piston acted upon by the hydraulic fluid, and accordingly the housing no longer has to act and be designed as a cylinder for the shaft drive piece. Due to the at least one plunger connected between the shell carrier and the shaft drive piece, a much smaller pressure chamber is achieved, so that only relatively small forces have to act and be intercepted even with a large center distance of the pivot shafts. In addition, the sealing of the pressure chamber is much easier. A seal between the shaft drive piece and the pivot shafts can also be omitted as a seal between the shaft drive piece and the entire assembly receiving shell carrier. It is sufficient if only the plunger is sealed against the piston acting on the pressure chamber.
  • the plunger engaging pressure chamber is provided in the shaft drive piece.
  • the plunger can be slidably seated in a cylindrical, in particular circular-cylindrical recess in the shaft drive piece and be supported by a protruding from the recess end portion relative to the shell carrier.
  • the plunger can be supported with its protruding from the recess end directly to the inner wall of the shell carrier. It is understood that, where appropriate, but also intermediate pieces such as piston rods and the like can be interposed.
  • the pressure piston acting on the plunger not in the shaft drive piece, but in the tray carrier.
  • the plunger is in this case slidably in a cylindrical recess in the shell carrier and is supported against the shaft drive piece, so that a displacement of the plunger in the cylindrical Recess in the shell carrier shifts the shaft drive piece accordingly.
  • the reverse arrangement described above with the slidable receiving the plunger in the shaft drive piece has the advantage of a more compact arrangement with a simplified shape of the tray carrier.
  • the at least one plunger can be designed double acting. He can do this in the manner of a double-acting hydraulic cylinder sitting in the cylindrical recess, that on both sides of the piston, a pressure chamber is limited, and supported for example on protruding from the chamber piston rods on both sides of the shell support.
  • a plurality of unilaterally acting plunger are provided, one of which serves to shift the shaft drive piece in a first direction and another of the displacement of the shaft drive piece in the opposite direction.
  • a pair of first plunger and a pair of second plunger are provided.
  • Said pair of first plunger serves to move the shaft drive piece in a first direction, which corresponds to a pivoting of the gripping arms.
  • Said pair of second plunger serves to move the shaft drive piece in a second direction, which corresponds to a pivoting together of the gripping arms.
  • the first plunger and the second plunger are each arranged symmetrically to a plane which forms the plane of symmetry to the two pivot shafts. As a result, tilting of the shaft drive piece is prevented. Uniform forces act on both pivot shafts.
  • the first plunger are perpendicular to a line connecting the two pivot shafts spaced apart.
  • the second plungers are advantageously spaced apart from one another parallel to the straight line connecting the two pivot shafts.
  • the plungers could all have the same cross-sectional area. Preferably, however, the plungers have different cross-sectional areas.
  • the plungers causing the pivoting of the gripping arms can have a larger cross-sectional area than the plungers, which cause the pivoting arms of the gripping arms. Due to the overall larger cross-sectional area of the or the plunger for pivoting together greater forces for the pivoting together of the gripper can be achieved at the same hydraulic pressure.
  • the shaft drive piece has two engagement portions, which are each provided with an internal thread toothing and each sit on one of the pivot shafts, as well as a connecting the two engagement portions centerpiece on which engages the at least one plunger.
  • a plurality of cylindrical recesses may be formed in the center piece, which are open to opposite sides of the center piece and each receive a plunger.
  • the arrangement of several mutually offset plunger since the cylindrical recesses can overlap each other in depth.
  • the centerpiece does not need to twice accommodate the depth of the cylindrical recesses for the plunger, so that a particularly short-building arrangement can be achieved.
  • the shell carrier is formed as a closed housing from which protrude substantially only the shaft ends of the pivot shafts.
  • the remaining sections and components of the pivot drive can be arranged inside the closed housing, so that a total encapsulated construction is achieved, which protects the pivot drive from external environmental influences.
  • the housing may advantageously consist of two to the longitudinal axes of the pivot shafts substantially vertical end walls and two housing halves which connect the end walls together.
  • the end walls preferably have on their inner sides supporting surfaces for the plunger.
  • the shaft drive piece may be spaced from the housing walls by a gap.
  • the shaft drive piece may be free from seals to the housing.
  • the seals between the shaft drive piece and the pivot shafts can be omitted.
  • the shaft drive piece has suitable pressure connections, which can be connected to the hydraulic supply of the gripper-bearing hoist.
  • the pivot drive shown in the drawings comprises a shell carrier 1, which is designed as a housing and can be coupled in a conventional manner to the stem of an excavator or other hoist.
  • the shell carrier 1 may have on its upper side an annular pivot bearing 2 and a rotary drive associated therewith 3 in order to rotate the gripper about an upright axis can.
  • the shell support 1 comprises two mutually parallel end walls 4 and 5, which are interconnected by two housing half-shells 6, 7, which extend substantially perpendicular to the end walls 4 and 5 (see. FIG. 1 ).
  • the two end walls 4 and 5 have a substantially elliptical shape and define together with the housing half-shells 6 and 7 a cylindrical, in section substantially elliptical interior.
  • two pivot shafts 8 and 9 are arranged, which are arranged parallel to each other and spaced from each other.
  • the two pivot shafts 8 and 9 are rotatable in the end walls 4 and 5, but axially fixed and protrude with their pin-shaped shaft ends out of the housing.
  • At the pin-shaped shaft ends 10 can be coupled in a manner known per se, gripper shells, which are not shown in the drawing, rotatably, so that the gripper shells by turning the pivot shafts 8 and 9 can be pivoted up and down.
  • the pivot shafts 8 and 9 are provided on its lying in the interior of the shell carrier 1 section with a helical toothing 11.
  • a shaft drive piece 12 is engaged, which is arranged in the interior of the shell carrier 1 and is mounted displaceably parallel to the longitudinal axes of the pivot shafts 8 and 9.
  • the shaft drive piece 12 comprises at opposite ends tubular engagement portions 13 which sit on the pivot shafts 8 and 9 and each having a helical internal toothing, which is in threaded engagement with the respective toothing 11 of the pivot shafts 8 and 9. If the shaft drive piece 12 is displaced in the direction parallel to the pivot shafts 8 and 9, the pivot shafts 8 and 9 are rotationally driven in opposite directions, as a result of which the gripper shells fastened to the shaft ends 10 open and close.
  • the engagement portions 13 of the shaft drive piece 12 are interconnected, through the center piece 14 of the shaft drive piece 12.
  • the shaft drive piece 12 may be an integrally integral casting.
  • the shaft drive piece 12 may be a welded sheet metal profile piece.
  • a plurality of plungers are provided which act on said center piece 14 of the shaft drive piece 12.
  • FIG. 2 shows, a total of four plungers are provided, which are arranged crosswise and each extending parallel to the pivot shafts.
  • Two first plunger 15 are arranged vertically above one another in the illustrated embodiment in the plane of symmetry of the pivot shaft drive.
  • Two second plunger 16 are arranged perpendicular to the said plane of symmetry spaced from each other in a plane which also contains the two pivot shafts 8 and 9.
  • the second plungers 16 have, as FIG. 2 shows a slightly larger cross section than the first plunger 15. Both first plunger 15 have the same cross section. Likewise, the two second plunger 16 have the same cross section.
  • the plungers 15 and 16 are each formed circular cylindrical and stuck in circular cylindrical recesses 17 and 18 which are formed in the middle piece 14 of the shaft drive piece 12 each as a blind hole.
  • the mentioned cylinder recesses 17 and 18 define together with the end faces of the plungers 15 and 16 seated in the recesses pressure chambers 19 and 20 (cf. FIG. 1 ), which are acted upon with pressurized fluid to displace the plunger 15 and 16 relative to the shaft drive piece 12.
  • the pressure chambers 19 and 20 can be acted upon by pressure fluid from the external hydraulic supply via pressure ports which are not specifically shown in the drawings.
  • the pressurized fluid supply or discharge into and out of the pressure chambers 19 and 20 can take place through the walls of the cylinder recesses 17 and 18 or else through the plungers.
  • the plungers 15 and 16 have a protruding from the cylinder recesses 17 and 18 end portion 21 and 22, which is supported relative to the respective end wall 4 or 5, in particular immediately adjacent thereto.
  • the cylinder recesses 17 and 18 are open to opposite sides of the shaft drive piece 12 so that all the first plunger 15 are supported on the one end wall 4, while all second plunger 16 are supported on the opposite end wall 5 of the shell carrier 1.
  • the support of the plunger 15 and 16 causes when pressurizing the pressure chambers 19 or 20, not the plunger 15 or 16 move, but the shaft drive piece 12 is moved accordingly.
  • the shaft drive piece 12 need not be sealed against the pivot shafts 8 and 9 nor against the walls of the shell carrier 1, since it is no longer the space between shaft drive piece 12 and shell carrier 1, which serves as a pressure chamber. It only need the plungers 15 and 16 are hydraulically tight in the respective cylinder recess 17 and 18 sit.
  • suitable sealing means for example in the form of sealing rings.
  • corresponding sealing means for example in the form of sealing rings, may be provided on the circumference of the plunger to its end seated in the recess.
