Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wire guide for a wire processing machine, as can be used in particular in spring manufacturing machines, for guiding a supplied wire to wire processing tools, with a receptacle on which a wire guide block is releasably attached, which forms a guide groove for the wire (see, eg US-A-6 098 444).
  • this object is achieved in a wire guide of the type mentioned in that the molding guide body is positively anchored to the wire guide block on the side facing the side and the guide groove, which clamped on the side of the recording ago attacking him fastener against the recording and to this is attached.
  • the attachment of special threaded inserts is no longer necessary and it has the advantage that it clamped by means of only a central clamping fixture, namely on the form-fitting anchored in her molding, from the side of the receptacle via suitable fasteners against the recording and can be attached to this.
  • This is a central, d. H. at the height of the guide groove, successful attachment possible, since due to the laterally between the guide and the recording lying frictional anchoring of the molding and acting on the side of the recording attachment means an interference between the fastening means and the guide groove is easily avoided.
  • the wire guide according to the invention formed as consisting of two wire guide halves, the additional advantage that nevertheless a simultaneous attachment of both halves of the receptacle is possible by means of only a single molded body, which increases the assembly and manufacturing security, the attachment overall relatively quickly and Precise can be done and also the wire guide even better, d. H. with even greater forces, with the recording can be braced. So there is the possibility to apply optimal clamping forces quickly.
  • the assembly of the wire guide according to the invention on the recording can be carried out particularly quickly and with little effort compared to previously known solutions.
  • wire guide according to the invention can be used as fastening means all suitable fasteners. Preferably, however, at least one, but more preferably two, are inserted through the receiving of their wire guide block opposite side of this inserted through fastening screw (s).
  • a preferred embodiment of the wire guide according to the invention also consists in that the shaped body is received in a formed in the wire guide block shape receptacle, which, particularly preferably, as a running in the direction of the guide groove and is formed to the side of the receptacle open mold groove.
  • the shape recording are equally conceivable.
  • the mold holder is formed as a shaping groove, then this is preferably formed with a, seen substantially perpendicular to the guide groove, a substantially T-shaped cross-section. This forms a geometrically simple, easy to produce and extremely effective form of a shaping groove, in which a suitable molding can be anchored easily form-fitting manner.
  • the mold groove may be formed so that it extends over the entire length of the wire guide block, which allows easy Einfädelhus the form-fitting to be anchored in its molding of one of the two end surfaces of the wire guide block ago.
  • each fastening screw used as a fastening means in the wire guide according to the invention is supported by its screw head via a support plate interposed between it and the receptacle on the side of the receptacle facing away from the wire guide block.
  • the wire guide block according to the invention can also be designed so that it is divided at the level of the center of the guide groove in a plane perpendicular to the latter and thus consists of two wire guide block halves, in each of which half of the guide (and half of the Wire guide block molded mold holder or Formnut) is formed.
  • the mold groove can also advantageously extend over only a portion of the total length of the wire guide block, preferably being open for receiving first portion of the mold groove, seen in the direction of the guide over a smaller length than the length of the adjoining him Further, located in the interior of the wire guide block, extending the crosspiece of the T-shaped cross section of the forming groove forming second portion of the mold groove.
  • the form-fitting to be anchored in the form-fitting molded body can be easily introduced by first inserted into one of the two wire guide body halves and thereafter the second half is slipped over.
  • the shaped body can be designed in any shape that is suitably adapted for a positive anchoring in the forming groove or the shaped recess.
  • it is particularly preferably designed as a sliding block with two sections, the first section being received in the first section of the forming groove towards the side of the receptacle, while the second section of the molded section adjoining it being accommodated in the second section of the forming slot and in its Longitudinal extent and / or its perpendicular thereto extending width is greater than the associated longitudinal extent or width of the first portion of the molding.
  • Such a molded body can advantageously be used equally both in a continuous shape groove, as well as in a trained only over a portion of the total length of the wire guide block training the shape recording (split wire guide block halves) and in turn provides a relatively simple and producible with little effort Form dar.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of a wire guide and in FIGS. 5 to 8 different embodiments of a wire guide.
  • a wire guide 1 is shown in a perspective view obliquely from the top front, which has a receptacle 2 to which a wire guide block 3 is fixed, which forms a guide groove 4 for a (not shown) wire.
  • the wire guide block 3 is disposed on the right side of the receptacle 2 (or the part of the receptacle 2 serving to fix the wire guide block 3).
  • the wire guide 1 is part of a (not shown) spring coiling machine and comprises an undivided wire guide block 3, as shown in an enlarged perspective view in Fig. 4 in detail.
  • a receiving receptacle 2 in the form of a mold groove 5 is mounted on the receptacle 2 side facing the wire guide block 3, which, in a sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the wire guide block 3 and seen perpendicular to Draht Adjustsnut 4, has a substantially T-shaped groove cross-section.
  • a molded body 6 is anchored positively, which is shown in an enlarged detail view in Fig. 3 in detail.
  • the molded body 6 consists of two mold sections, namely a first, smaller mold section 6.1, which in the installed state in a section 5.1 of the mold groove 5, which forms the central web of the T-shaped cross section thereof and is open for receiving 2, lies (see 4 shows the state of the molded body 6 installed in the mold groove 5, the hidden edges of the mold groove 5 and of the inner part of the molded body 6 being shown in dashed lines).
  • This (larger) section 6.2 of the molded body 6 has a length L 'and (perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the forming groove 5) has a width B , which, as FIG. 3 shows, is significantly greater than the width b of the smaller section 6.2 (and this on both sides, ie in the illustration of the figures: upwards and downwards, surmounted, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 4 and the enlarged sectional view of FIG. 2 in detail, the latter corresponding to the cutting position shown in FIG. 1 is indicated by II).
  • the molded body 6 is inserted from one of the two lateral end surfaces of the wire guide block 3 in the mold groove 5 until it reaches the desired position for the attachment, which corresponds to the position of Fig. 4.
  • the width b of the smaller section 6.1 of the shaped body 6 is just as large as the corresponding width b of the section 5.1 of the forming groove 5, while the overall width B of the larger section 6.2 of the shaped body 6 is just as large as the total width B of the second section 5.2 of the forming groove 5 is chosen (of course with such a tolerance that a good positive insertion without difficulty is possible).
  • depth t of the first section 6.1 of the molded body 6 is just as large as the corresponding depth t of the corresponding receptacle 2 towards the open groove portion 5.1 of the forming groove 5 selected (or slightly smaller), while the depth T of the larger mold section 6.2 of the shaped body 6 is the same as the depth T of the second section 5.2 of the mold groove 5 (also here: preferably somewhat smaller, so that a slight insertion of the shaped body 6 into the mold groove 5 is ensured).
  • the forming groove 5 is formed in the wire guide block 3 so that in principle the cross-sectional center line M of its T-shaped cross section passes through the center of the guide groove 4, so centrally at the same height as this is located.
  • the forming groove 5 is arranged in the wire guide block 3 between the guide groove 4 and the support 2 and forms on the positively received in her form body 3 a central clamping fixture on the receptacle 2. At the wire guide block 3 attaching special threaded inserts is no longer necessary.
  • the still used for the attachment two threaded holes 9 are located in the mold body 6 and can be prepared in its manufacture and completely separate from the production of the wire guide block 3, so that even with their attachment in the molding 6 no effect in terms of production or exact Shape of the wire guide block 3 occur.
  • the wire guide 1 of FIGS. 5 to 8 differs from that of FIGS. 1 to 4 essentially in that here a split wire guide block 3 is used.
  • the wire guide block 3 at the level of the center of the guide groove 4 in a plane perpendicular to this plane E is divided into two halves 3.1 and 3.2.
  • FIG. 7 shows the half 3.2 (in FIG. 8: below). As can be clearly seen, lies in this half, the lower half of the guide groove 4 and also the lower half of the mold groove 5, which has a different shape than that of FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • the shaping groove 5 no longer extends over the entire length L of the wire guide block 3, but only over a partial section thereof.
  • the first groove section 5.1 which is open towards the receptacle 2 is designed with a shorter length L 2 than the length L 1 of the adjoining second groove section 5.2 lying further inside the wire guide block 3. This projects beyond, seen in the longitudinal direction of the wire guide block 3, the first groove portion 5.1 on both sides something, the lower half 3.2 of the wire guide block 3, which is shown in Fig.
  • mold groove or mold recess 5 of the wire guide block 3 which consists of the two halves 3.1 and 3.2 is used as a shaped body of the mold body 6 shown in FIG. 3, as well as in the mold groove 5 of the embodiment of Figures 1 to 4.
  • Fig. 8 shows a perspective view of the assembled halves 3.1 and 3.2 of the wire guide block 3 with inserted molded body 6 (wherein the concealed in the drawing groove edges and edges of the molded body 6 are shown in dashed lines inside the mold groove 5).
