Abstract

The work table has a height adjustable frame (2) with adjustment actuators (5) operated by electric motors (4) with a control (6). At least one load carrying section of the frame (2) has an extension measuring strip which controls the extension adjustment via the motor in dependence on the applied load.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Arbeitstisch mit einem insbesondere der Höhe nach verstellbaren Gestell, zu dessen Verstellung wenigstens ein an einem Stelltrieb angreifender elektrischer Motor mit einer Steuereinrichtung vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a work table with a particular height-adjustable frame, the adjustment of which is provided at least one attacking on an actuator electric motor with a control device.

Bei Arbeitstischen mit einem Gestell, das durch wenigstens einen von einem Motor angetriebenen Stelltrieb insbesondere der Höhe nach verstellt werden kann, besteht die Gefahr, daß bei einer Verstellung des Gestells ein Hindernis im Bereich des Stellweges angefahren wird, was eine Gefährdung des Hindernisses, aber auch des Arbeitstisches oder von Gegenständen auf dem Arbeitstisch mit sich bringt, wenn der Elektromotor nicht abgeschaltet wird. Um solche Hindernisse erfassen und dadurch Verletzungen vermeiden zu können, ist es bekannt ( AT 410 626 B ), die Steuereinrichtung für den Motor an einen Geber für die Motorbelastung anzuschließen, so daß bei einer Überschreitung einer vorgegebenen Motorbelastung der Motor über die Steuereinrichtung in seiner Drehrichtung umgepolt und nach einem dadurch bedingten Rückstellweg abgeschaltet werden kann. Da die Motorbelastung unter anderem auch von den Reibungsverhältnissen im Bereich des Stelltriebes und der Führungen des Verstellteils des Tischgestells abhängen und sich diese Reibungsverhältnisse ändern können, ist eine feinfühlige Erfassung der angefahrenen Hindernisse aufgrund einer Überwachung der Motorbelastung nicht möglich.For work tables with a frame that can be adjusted by at least one driven by a motor actuator especially the height, there is a risk that an obstacle in the range of the travel is approached in an adjustment of the frame, which is a threat to the obstacle, but also of the worktable or objects on the worktable when the electric motor is not switched off. To detect such obstacles and thereby prevent injuries, it is known ( AT 410 626 B ), to connect the control device for the engine to an encoder for the engine load, so that when exceeding a predetermined engine load, the motor can be reversed in the direction of rotation via the control device and switched off after a reset path caused thereby. Since the engine load depends inter alia on the friction conditions in the range of the actuator and the guides of the adjustment of the table frame and these friction conditions can change, a sensitive detection of the obstacles is not possible due to monitoring the engine load.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Arbeitstisch der eingangs geschilderten Art mit einfachen konstruktiven Mitteln so auszugestalten, daß Hindernisse in der Bewegungsbahn des Arbeitstisches in einfacher Weise sicher erfaßt werden können, bevor mit einer unzulässigen Krafteinwirkung auf das Hindernis durch den anschlagenden Arbeitstisch zu rechnen ist.The invention is therefore the object of a work table of the type described with simple structural means in such a way that obstacles in the trajectory of the work table can be detected easily in a simple manner before to expect an inadmissible force on the obstacle by the abutting work table is.

Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, daß wenigstens ein lastabtragender Teil des Gestells mit einem Dehnmeßstreifen versehen oder auf einem Kraftaufnehmer abgestützt ist und daß der Dehnmeßstreifen bzw. der Kraftaufnehmer die Steuereinrichtung für den Motor in Abhängigkeit von der Belastung des lastabtragenden Teils ansteuert.The invention solves the problem set by the fact that at least one load-bearing part of the frame is provided with a strain gauge or supported on a force transducer and that the strain gauge or the force transducer controls the control device for the motor in response to the load of the load-bearing part.

Da zufolge dieser Maßnahmen die Belastung zumindest eines lastabtragenden Teils des Gestells unmittelbar über einen Dehnmeßstreifen oder einen Kraftaufnehmer erfaßt wird, können die jeweiligen Tischbelastungen mit einer vergleichsweise hohen Genauigkeit unabhängig von den jeweiligen Reibungsverhältnissen im Führungsbereich des Verstellteils des Gestells oder im Bereich des Stelltriebes überwacht werden, um bei einer entsprechenden Änderung der Belastung des lastabtragenden Teils in die Motorsteuerung eingreifen und den elektrischen Motor gegebenenfalls nach einer Umpolung der Drehrichtung abschalten zu können. Zur Verbesserung der Überwachung der Belastung des Arbeitstisches bzw. von Belastungsänderungen können zwei oder mehrere lastabtragende Teile des Gestells mit den Meßstreifen versehen oder auf Kraftaufnehmern abgestützt werden, weil aufgrund der Aufteilung der Gesamtbelastung des Arbeitstisches auf die überwachten lastabtragenden Teile die Belastungsverhältnisse genauer ermittelt werden können.Since, according to these measures, the load of at least one load-bearing part of the frame is detected directly via a strain gauge or a force transducer, the respective table loads can be monitored with a comparatively high accuracy independently of the respective friction conditions in the guide region of the adjusting part of the frame or in the area of the actuating drive, to intervene in a corresponding change in the load of the load-bearing part in the engine control and to switch off the electric motor, where appropriate, after a reversal of the direction of rotation can. To improve the monitoring of the load of the work table or load changes two or more load-bearing parts of the frame can be provided with the measuring strips or supported on load cells, because due to the division of the total load of the work table on the monitored load-bearing parts, the load conditions can be determined more accurately.

Beim Einsatz von Dehnmeßstreifen kann der lastabtragende Teil des Gestells vorteilhaft als Biegeträger ausgebildet sein. Solche Biegeträger lassen sich vorteilhaft zur Verbindung des Stelltriebes mit dem Verstellteil des Gestells einsetzen. Der mit dem Dehnmeßstreifen versehene lastabtragende Teil kann aber auch selbstverständlich nach Art einer Kraftmeßdose auf Zug oder Druck belastet werden. Besonders einfache Konstruktionsbedingungen ergeben sich beim Einsatz von Kraftaufnehmern, an denen die lastabtragenden Teile abgestützt werden. Als lastabtragende Teile können in diesem Fall beispielsweise die Tischplatte oder das Gestell selbst dienen, wenn das Gestell über entsprechende Kraftaufnehmer an einem auf einer Standfläche aufruhenden Fußteil abgestützt wird.When using strain gauges of the load-bearing part of the frame can be advantageously designed as a bending beam. Such bending beams can be advantageously used to connect the actuator with the adjustment of the frame. However, the load-bearing part provided with the strain gage can of course also be subjected to tension or pressure in the manner of a load cell. Particularly simple design conditions arise when using force transducers, on which the load-bearing parts are supported. As a load-bearing parts can serve in this case, for example, the table top or the frame itself, when the frame is supported via corresponding load cell on a resting on a footing footboard.

Der Arbeitstisch gemäß der Fig. 1 weist eine Tischplatte 1 auf, die von einem Gestell 2 getragen wird, das Teleskopbeine 3 zur Höhenverstellung der Tischplatte 1 besitzt. Diese Teleskopbeine 3 sind mit Hilfe elektrischer Motoren 4 der Länge nach verstellbar. Zu diesem Zweck treiben die Motoren 4 je einen Stelltrieb 5 an, beispielsweise einen Spindeltrieb oder eine Zahnstange. Zur Steuerung der Motoren 4 ist eine Steuereinrichtung 6 vorgesehen, die über eine Eingabeeinheit 7 angesteuert werden kann und ein übliches Eingabefeld 8 zum Bedienen des Arbeitstisches bildet.The work table according to FIG. 1 has a table top 1, which is supported by a frame 2, the telescopic legs 3 for height adjustment of the table top 1 has. These telescopic legs 3 are adjustable by means of electric motors 4 lengthwise. For this purpose, the motors 4 each drive an actuator 5, for example a spindle drive or a rack. To control the motors 4, a control device 6 is provided, which can be controlled via an input unit 7 and forms a conventional input field 8 for operating the work table.

Die mit dem ausziehbaren Verstellteil 9 der Teleskopbeine 3 verbundenen Auflager 10 der Tischplatte 1 sind über Kraftaufnehmer 11 an den Stelltrieben 5 abgestützt. Die Kraftaufnehmer 11, beispielsweise Kraftmeßdosen oder Piezoelemente, beaufschlagen somit die Steuereinrichtung 6 mit Signalen, die von der Belastung der Tischplatte 1 abhängen, so daß die Motoren 4 in Abhängigkeit von der Belastung der Tischplatte 1 angesteuert werden können, um ein Anfahren der Tischplatte 1 an ein Hindernis, sei es unter- oder oberhalb der Tischplatte 1, feststellen und davon abhängig die Motoren 4 gegebenenfalls nach einer Umpolung der Drehrichtung abschalten zu können. Da im allgemeinen mit unterschiedlichen Tischbelastungen gerechnet werden muß, wird zur Erkennung eines angefahrenen Hindernisses nicht die Größe der Belastung, sondern die Größe der Belastungsänderung für die Steuerung der Motoren 4 ausgewertet.The supports 10 of the table top 1, which are connected to the extendable adjusting part 9 of the telescopic legs 3, are supported on the actuating drives 5 via force transducers 11. The load cell 11, such as load cells or piezoelectric elements, thus act on the control device 6 with signals that depend on the load on the table top 1, so that the motors 4 can be controlled depending on the load on the table top 1 to start the tabletop 1 at an obstacle, be it below or above the table top 1, determine and dependent on the motors 4, if necessary, to be able to switch off after a reversal of the direction of rotation. Since in general must be expected with different table loads, not the size of the load, but the size of the load change for the control of the motors 4 is evaluated to detect a stumbled obstacle.

Wie die Fig. 2 erkennen läßt, können zur Erfassung der Tischbelastung auch Dehnmeßstreifen eingesetzt werden, die an einem lastabtragenden Teil 13 des Gestells 2 angeordnet sind. Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach der Fig. 2 wird der lastabtragende Teil 13 nicht entsprechend der Fig. 1 durch die Auflager 10 der Tischplatte 1, sondern durch einen Biegeträger gebildet, der den Stelltrieb 5 mit dem Verstellteil 9 der Teleskopbeine 3 verbindet. Die durch die Biegebelastung des lastabtragenden Teils 13 bedingten Längenänderungen des Dehnmeßstreifens 12 können als Maß für die Auflast des Teils 13 und damit für die Belastung der Tischplatte 1 ausgewertet und zur Steuerung der Motoren 4 herangezogen werden.As can be seen Fig. 2, strain gauges can be used to detect the table load and strain gauges on a load-bearing part 13 of the frame 2 are arranged. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the load-transferring member 13 is not formed according to FIG. 1 by the supports 10 of the table top 1, but by a bending beam connecting the actuator 5 with the adjustment part 9 of the telescopic legs 3. The conditional by the bending load of the load-bearing member 13 changes in length of the Dehnmeßstreifens 12 can be evaluated as a measure of the load of the part 13 and thus for the load on the table top 1 and used to control the motors 4.

In der Fig. 3 ist eine weitere Möglichkeit einer Anordnung von Kraftaufnehmern 11 angedeutet, und zwar zwischen den Teleskopbeinen 3 und einem auf einer Standfläche aufruhenden Fußteil 14 des Gestells 2. Damit dient das Gestell 2 als lastabtragender Teil zur Bestimmung der jeweiligen Tischbelastung, was wiederum eine entsprechende Ansteuerung der Motoren 4 beim Anfahren eines Hindernisses erlaubt.In Fig. 3, a further possibility of an array of force sensors 11 is indicated, between the telescopic legs 3 and a foot resting on a foot rest 14 of the frame 2. Thus, the frame 2 serves as a load-bearing part for determining the respective table load, which in turn allows a corresponding control of the motors 4 when approaching an obstacle.

Es braucht wohl nicht besonders hervorgehoben zu werden, daß die Erfindung nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt ist, weil es lediglich darauf ankommt, einen lastabtragenden Teil des Arbeitstisches mit einem Dehnmeßstreifen zu versehen oder an einem Kraftaufnehmer abzustützen. Die Auswertung dieser Überwachung der Tischbelastung kann dabei Hindernisse unabhängig davon erfassen, ob sie sich ober- oder unterhalb der Tischplatte 1 befinden. Je nach der Anordnung der Kraftaufnehmer bzw. der mit den Dehnmeßstreifen versehenen Teile zeigt eine zusätzliche Belastung oder eine Entlastung ein Hindernis auf der Ober- oder Unterseite der Tischplatte an.It need not be emphasized that the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments, because it is only important to provide a load-bearing part of the work table with a strain gauge or support on a force transducer. The evaluation of this monitoring of the table load can detect obstacles regardless of whether they are above or below the table top 1. Depending on the arrangement of the force transducer or the parts provided with the strain gauges, an additional load or a relief indicates an obstacle on the top or bottom of the table top.
