Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement of components which are movable relative to each other and occupy a defined stable position in at least two positions by means of a latching device, the genus specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • At least two components are generally moved relative to each other, often requiring a stable position in predetermined positions. From this position, a relative movement of the components and taking another position is then possible by overcoming the holding force.
  • locking devices i. one of the components has a latching depression and the other component has a latching nose.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide an arrangement of components of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1, through which the handling is improved to move the components.
  • first and second components form a hinge, wherein in a first hinge part, a circular recess is provided, in which a rotatable with a second joint part body is received and on the peripheral wall of the recess and the outer periphery the body is arranged the locking device.
  • a hinge can be used in many ways, wherein the angle of rotation of the locking recesses and the rotation angle of the defined stable position can be specified. It is also possible to arrange a plurality of locking recesses in different distances. Due to the circular recess with a rotatable body therein and the arrangement of the locking device in the peripheral region between these parts leads to a compact design.
  • these different-sized holding forces are achieved in that the latching lug and / or latching recess have an asymmetrical cross-sectional shape. This can be given flatter or steeper contours in one or the other direction, which take in addition to the basic shape of the latching lug or latching recess essential influence on the holding forces.
  • the locking lug is loaded in the latching direction of a spring.
  • the spring force is co-determining the holding force of the locking device, wherein the spring may be formed, for example, as an elastic arm on which the locking lug is formed, or the spring may also be an additional component acting on the latching lug.
  • the shape of the detent and / or detent recess can be designed according to the desired conditions, which - as already mentioned - unsymmetrical or symmetrical shapes can be selected.
  • the latching lug and / or latching recess may have an arcuately curved cross-sectional shape or else in a triangular cross-sectional shape be designed.
  • trapezoidal cross-sectional shapes are considered to be particularly advantageous, with an irregular trapezium being of particular importance, that is to say with differently steep oblique surfaces or surfaces of different lengths, and in this way contributing, among other influences, to the different holding forces.
  • the locking device comprises three locking recesses and three locking lugs, which are each offset by an angle of rotation of 120 ° to each other.
  • the engagement of the three latching lugs takes place simultaneously at a certain position and the respective holding force is generated jointly by the three latching lugs.
  • an arrangement of the Notches be designed so that they are offset relative to the circular path of movement by 180 ° to each other.
  • the latching lugs are formed on resilient arms on the outer periphery of the rotatable body, said arms spring radially outward and thus move the latching lugs in the latching recesses.
  • the rotatable body is designed as a separate component and rotatably connected to the second joint part. In this way, the rotatable body and the second hinge part can be made of different materials.
  • the rotatable body may be formed as a ring, wherein the rotationally fixed connection comprises an internal toothing on the ring and a sprocket on the second joint part.
  • the rotationally fixed connection comprises an internal toothing on the ring and a sprocket on the second joint part.
  • openings are provided, for example, in the disc, engage in the corresponding extending in the axial direction of the second hinge part projections.
  • a simply configured connection of the first and second hinge part is that at the bottom of the circular recess a central pin or sleeve is provided, and the ring gear of the second joint part has a central bore by means of which the second hinge part is mounted on the pin or the sleeve ,
  • the first and second hinge part are provided with connection for insertion into connecting components.
  • the arrangement of components according to the invention with latching devices can, of course, also be provided on differently extending surfaces of the components sliding against each other, such as, for example, flat surfaces.
  • Fig. 1 is a rotary joint shown that is provided with the locking device according to the invention.
  • a circular recess 3 is formed, which has a substantially cylindrical wall 17 and a bottom 18.
  • a second component 2 is provided with a sprocket 14 and a protruding pin 15 which are inserted into the recess 3, wherein the second component 2 is designed such that it substantially closes the recess 3.
  • a rotatable body 4 is provided which is rotatably mounted on the sprocket 14.
  • the first component 1 thus forms a first joint part 5 and the second component 2 forms a second joint part 6.
  • the axis of rotation of the swivel joint formed from the joint parts 5 and 6 is denoted by the reference symbol D.
  • the rotatable body 4 is in the embodiment of Fig. 1 designed as a ring 11 with an internal toothing 13, wherein the internal toothing 13 is provided for positive engagement with the ring gear 14.
  • the locking lugs 9 are guided during the rotational movement along the wall 17 of the recess 3 and upon reaching one of the locking recesses 8 takes place an automatic engagement of the locking lugs 9 in the locking recesses.
  • a base 25 is formed on which a stop surface 21 is formed.
  • a base 26 is integrally formed on the second hinge part 6, which has a stop surface 22.
  • a connecting piece 7 is provided at the base 25 and the base 26, which serves for insertion into connecting parts. In the end position, in which the two sockets 7 point in the same direction, the stop surfaces 21 and 22 abut each other.
