Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clamping device with two clamping jaws, of which a first clamping jaw are attached to a base body and a second clamping jaw on a slide which is adjustably mounted along an upper side of the base body by means of a screw, which arranged in a directed to the top spindle recess of the body is.
  • Such a tensioning device is known for example from US-A 5,163,662 or EP-A-0 903 201.
  • a displaceable slide is displaceably mounted within a recess in the main body along guideways.
  • the axial movement is usually carried out by means of a threaded spindle which engages in a corresponding threaded element on the carriage and so forms a known axial drive.
  • the so-called machine vices are usually used on machine tools for clamping the workpieces to be machined.
  • On drilling and milling machines is a machining, wherein small-scale chips are removed while supplying significant amounts of rinsing and cooling liquid from the workpiece.
  • chips in not insignificant amount in the spindle recess of the main body can accumulate. In this case, chips can come to rest on the axial guideways and the threads, which can lead to damage to the surfaces and even to blockages and disturbances of the moving parts.
  • the machine vices are provided with a plurality of openings, so that chips can be easily removed from the spindle recess, in particular by compressed air.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a clamping device, which is particularly well protected against adverse effects of chips and rinsing liquid.
  • the clamping device is characterized in that the spindle recess of the base body is covered by a cover element between the two clamping jaws over an entire adjustment range of the clamping jaws.
  • the cover element thus has a width corresponding to the groove-shaped spindle recess and has a length which extends over the entire span of the clamping jaws, in particular their maximum distance addition.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention consists in that the base body is U-shaped in cross-section with two side walls, whose end faces directed towards the top are flush with the cover element.
  • the cover element may preferably be flat on its upper side, so that the surface is as smooth as possible. Such an area is particularly easy to clean coming from lying chips.
  • the cover element is plate-shaped and in particular integrally formed on the carriage.
  • This can be an axially projecting plate, which can be flush, ie virtually gap-free, to slide under the suitably designed underside of the fixed first clamping jaw.
  • a one-piece design for example as a cast workpiece, additionally avoids further joints, which improves a good and easy chip removal.
  • the first fixed jaw is arranged at a rear side of the base body, which is opposite to a front on which a spindle actuation, in particular a hand crank, is provided, and that the first clamping jaw a rear plate-shaped cover portion has, which covers the spindle recess of the main body to the rear side.
  • This rear cover can cover only the top or in addition also an open end side of the base body, so that chips can not get out of this area to the spindle.
  • the cover portion may be integrally formed with the first jaw or may be provided as a separate part which closely adjoins the first jaw.
  • the foreclosure of the spindle recess is further improved by the fact that a cover plate is arranged on the carriage, which covers the spindle recess in the region of the second clamping jaw toward the front of the main body. This can largely be prevented from penetrating into the spindle recess from above, even in the region between the carriage and the hand crank.
  • an opening for lubricating the spindle is provided in the cover element.
  • the opening may be provided with a grease nipple or a similar inlet or valve element, which is arranged so recessed in the cover element that a passage of chips and further good cleanability are given.
  • annular lubricating device In the case of extensive shielding of the spindle in the spindle recess, it is advantageous according to the invention for an annular lubricating device to be arranged on the carriage, which is in communication with the opening in the cover element for supplying lubricant.
  • the lubricating device for storing and dispensing lubricant, in particular lubricating oil, to a threaded portion of the spindle has a felt ring and a gap seal.
  • the felt ring serves as a reservoir for receiving and storing oil.
  • felt means any other material which also has the function of picking up, storing and slowly dispensing lubricating oil.
  • the felt ring can thus always ensure a certain wetting, in particular the threaded portion of the spindle.
  • a gap seal is arranged, which is a excessive release of oil from the felt ring to the threaded area prevented.
  • the gap seal is formed according to a threaded nut with threads which meshes with the thread on the spindle, but without touching them directly.
  • the combination of this gap seal with the downstream felt ring ensures that the narrow gap between the gap seal and the threaded area of the spindle is always closed with an oil film. As a result, the penetration of even the finest chip particles and also of rinsing liquid in the sensitive area of the spindle drive is practically avoided.
  • the spindle has a threaded portion and a cylinder portion.
  • a power boosting package may be arranged in the cylinder region or threaded region.
  • an inner receiving space can be formed for this purpose.
  • a power boost package as is known for an operation of machine vices by a hand crank.
  • the covers according to the invention largely prevent coarse chip particles from getting into the spindle recess and thus onto the guide surfaces and the threaded areas.
  • the individual mutually movable parts fit together.
  • the use of sealing elements made of rubber would at best be appropriate in individual cases, since such sealing elements would be damaged and worn very quickly by the sharp-edged metal chips. Without such sealing elements, it can not be ruled out that rinsing liquid can penetrate into the area of the spindle recess.
  • side openings are made in side areas of the main body. These side openings serve for the discharge of rinsing liquid or for their removal, for example by means of compressed air.
  • a tensioning device 10 On a cross-sectionally U-shaped main body 12 with two side walls 22, a first clamping jaw 14 is releasably secured by screws at one end.
  • the base body 12 has along its length a spindle recess 20 which is open toward its upper side 18.
  • a carriage 30 Within the spindle recess 20, a carriage 30 is mounted axially displaceable, which has a second clamping jaw 16 on its upper side.
  • a screw 40 Along the entire length of the spindle recess 20 extends a screw 40, which penetrates the carriage 30.
  • a spindle actuator 46 which may in particular have a hand crank 48, the spindle 40 can be rotated to axially adjust the carriage 30 and thus the second clamping jaw 16 relative to the first clamping jaw 14.
  • a vice clamping device 10 is in one Position shown, in which the maximum adjustment between the two jaws 14, 16 is given.
  • the threaded spindle 40 has at its free end on a threaded portion 42, which communicates with a corresponding internal thread 31 in the interior of the carriage 30 in a meshed connection. Between the threaded portion 42 and the spindle actuator 46, a cylinder portion 44 is provided, which receives in its interior a well-known power boosting pact 50 with a spring assembly. As a result, in a manner known in principle, the tension force applied by a hand crank 48 can be increased.
  • the spindle recess 20 is covered gap-free between the two clamping jaws 14, 16 over the entire adjustment range by a cover member 32.
  • the cover element 32 is plate-shaped or tongue-shaped on the carriage 30. Its top surface is smooth and goes flush in the end faces 24 of the two side walls 22.
  • An underside of the first clamping jaw 14 is formed to match the top of the cover member 32, so that this fitting, so gap-free, under the first jaw 14 is slidable. As a result, a largely smooth-surfaced and thus easy-to-clean surface is created between the two Spannbakken 14, 16. The penetration of chips between the two clamping jaws 14, 16 to the screw 40 towards this is avoided.
  • a partition against the entry of chips to the spindle recess 20 is further improved by the fact that at a rear side of the first clamping jaw 14, a plate-shaped Cover portion 26 is formed. This covers the spindle recess 20 to the rear side of the main body 12 towards the top. Furthermore, in the region of the second clamping jaw 16 on the carriage 30, a cover plate 34 is screwed, which covers the spindle recess 20 upwards in the region between the second clamping jaw 16 and the spindle actuator 46 at least over a large part of the adjustment. For this purpose, the cover plate 34 can slide fitting over a surface of the spindle actuator 46, which closes the front end face of the base body 12. For the cover plate 34 each have a guide groove 35 is introduced in the base body 12 in two side walls 22, which also fulfills a sealing function.
  • side windows 28 are provided which serve for the exit and for the removal of rinsing liquid from the spindle recess 20.
  • a chamfer 21 is provided to the front, which facilitates the outflow of liquid from the spindle recess.
  • webs 29 are arranged, which are tapered inwardly towards the spindle recess 20.
  • an opening 36 is provided in the cover member 32, which allows a supply of lubricating oil to an underlying annular lubricating device 60.
  • this lubricating device 60 is shown in more detail.
  • oil can be supplied to a felt ring 62, which is arranged in a stepped cylindrical housing 66.
  • the felt ring 62 serves to receive, Saving and dispensing of the lubricant to the threaded portion 42 of the screw 40.
  • the outer region of the threaded portion 42 of the screw 40 abuts on the inside of the felt ring 62 at.
  • an annular gap seal 64 adjoins the free side of the lubricating device 60.
  • the gap seal 64 has thread projections, which mesh with the external thread of the threaded portion 42 of the screw 40 without contact. This leaves a fine gap, which allows sufficient passage of lubricating oil when moving the carriage via the screw 40. In this arrangement, with sufficient addition of lubricating oil and a certain flushing effect of the threaded portion 42 can be achieved.
