Abstract

The jaw (1) has a clamping plate (3), and outer and inner beams (4,5), where the inner beam is S-shaped. The clamping force applied on a clamped workpiece by the clamping plate is varied along an upper surface (7) that is adjusted to the workpiece. The resulting clamping force lies above the center of the clamping plate. The beams are resilient and are bent, where the spring constant of the inner beam is less than the spring constant of the outer beam.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Spannbacke für einen Schraubstock mit einer Spannplatte und mindestens zwei Brücken, gemäss des Oberbegriffes von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a clamping jaw for a vice with a clamping plate and at least two bridges, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Solchline Spannbache ist beispiels weise aus der EP-A-0196544 bekannt.Solchline Spannbache is example, from the EP-A-0196544 known.

Zum genauen Bearbeiten eines Werkstückes, beispielsweise in einer Funkenerosionsmaschine, Werkzeugmaschine etc., ist es erforderlich, dass das Werkstück, welches bearbeitet werden soll, fest gegen das Schraubstockbett eingespannt ist. Es besteht jedoch die Möglichkeit, dass sich das Werkstück geringfügig beim Einspannen vom Schraubstockbett weg bewegt. Diese Unsicherheit kann zu Ungenauigkeiten führen.For accurate machining of a workpiece, for example in a spark erosion machine, machine tool, etc., it is necessary that the workpiece to be processed, is clamped firmly against the vise bed. However, there is the possibility that the workpiece will move slightly away from the vise bed during clamping. This uncertainty can lead to inaccuracies.

Aus der EP 0 196 544 A1 wird ein Schraubstock mit einem Bett beschrieben, über das sich eine erste feststehende, eine erste Spannplatte aufweisende Spannbacke erhebt, sowie mit einer zweiten, am Bett beweglich geführten, eine zweite Spannplatte aufweisenden Spannbacke, die mit einer an Bett drehbar befestigten Spindel drehbar verbunden ist, wobei die Spindel sich in einem im Bett ausgebildeten Längskanal erstreckt, und im Längskanal vom Fuß der zweiten Spannbacke umfasst ist, welche über einen in einem Längsschlitz des Bettes eingefangen Hals mit der zweiten Spannplatte verbunden ist. Zur exakten Positionierung eines zwischen den Spannbacken eirtgespannten Werkstückes ist vorgesehen, dass das Bett eine ebene, sich quer zu den Spannplatten und zwischen diesen erstreckende Referenzfläche aufweist, dass am Bett wenigstens zwei benachbarte sich in Richtung der Referenzfläche erstreckende Spannflächen ausgebildet sind, von denen eine erste Spannfläche relativ zur Referenzfläche geneigt ist und die zweite Spannfläche relativ zur Referenzfläche gegensinnig geneigt ist, und dass an der zweiten Spannbacke wenigstens zwei zu den Spannflächen benachbarte Klemmflächen ausgebildet sind, von denen die erste Klemmfläche sich parallel zur ersten Spannfläche und die zweite Klemmfläche parallel zur zweiten Spannfläche erstreckt. Dadurch wird eine sehr schmale Gestaltung des Schraubstockes ermöglicht, die diesen zur Verwendung an eine Drahtschneide-Funkerosionsmaschine besonders geeignet macht.From the EP 0 196 544 A1 a vise is described with a bed over which a first fixed, a first clamping plate having jaw rises, and with a second, movably guided on the bed, a second clamping plate having jaw, which is rotatably connected to a spindle rotatably mounted on the bed, wherein the spindle extends in a longitudinal channel formed in the bed, and is included in the longitudinal channel of the foot of the second clamping jaw, which is connected via a captured in a longitudinal slot of the bed neck with the second clamping plate. For exact positioning of a workpiece clamped between the clamping jaws, it is provided that the bed has a planar reference surface extending transversely to the clamping plates and between them, that at least two adjacent clamping surfaces extending in the direction of the reference surface are formed on the bed, of which a first Clamping surface is inclined relative to the reference surface and the second clamping surface is inclined relative to the reference surface in opposite directions, and that at least two clamping surfaces adjacent clamping surfaces are formed on the second clamping jaw, of which the first clamping surface parallel to the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface parallel to the second Clamping surface extends. As a result, a very narrow design of the vise is made possible, which makes it particularly suitable for use on a wire-cut spark erosion machine.

Eine weitere Einspannvorrichtung ist in der EP 0 362 753 offenbart. Sie dient zum Halten von Werkstücken und weist dazu im Abstand relativ zueinander verstellbare Spannbacken auf, die zueinander weisende Spannflächen haben. Ausserdem ist eine Werkstück-Auflage vorhanden. Es ist bei der oder den Spannflächen der Spannbacken eine vom einzuspannenden Werkstück verstellbare und in Spannrichtung beaufschlagbare Niederzugvorrichtung vorgesehen. Diese weist ein über die Spannfläche überstehendes und schräg zu der Werkstück-Auflage hinweisendes Niederzugelement auf. Während des Spannvorganges wird dieses Niederzugelement beaufschlagt und schwenkt dabei schräg nach unten in Richtung zu der Werkstück-Auflage, wobei das Werkstück entweder mitgenommen wird oder aber in diese Richtung kraftbeaufschlagt wird, so dass eine sichere Anlage auf der Auflage erfolgt.Another jig is in the EP 0 362 753 disclosed. It serves to hold workpieces and has at a distance relative to each other adjustable Clamping jaws, which have mutually facing clamping surfaces. In addition, a workpiece support is available. It is provided at the one or more clamping surfaces of the clamping jaws adjustable from the workpiece to be clamped and acted in the clamping direction pull-down device. This has a over the clamping surface protruding and obliquely to the workpiece support hinweisendes pull-down. During the clamping process, this pull-down element is acted upon and pivots obliquely downwards in the direction of the workpiece support, wherein the workpiece is either taken along or is subjected to force in this direction, so that a secure abutment takes place on the support.

Die deutsche Offenlegungsschrift DE 43 41 744 A1 zeigt ein Tiefziehspann-System für Spannvorrichtungen an Werkstückbearbeitungsmaschinen, bestehend aus zwei gegenüberliegenden Teilen, einem Anschlag - Tiefziehspanner mit festen Spannbacken und einem Tiefziehspanner mit beweglichen Spannbacken, zwischen denen das zu bearbeitende Werkstück eingespannt ist, wobei ein Anschlag-Tiefziehspanner als ortsfestes Anschlagteil vorhanden ist, welcher aus einem Backenkörper besteht, der auf einer Halteplatte angeordnet ist, wobei der Backenkörper zum Einspannen eines Werkstückes mit Schutzbacken ausgerüstet ist, die eine vertikale Spannfläche zur Halteplatte besitzt, wobei der Backenkörper an einer Auflage anliegt und mit einem elastisch verbiegbaren Teil gegenüber der Halteplatte und eine Formgebung besitzt, wodurch bei Einwirkung einer parallel zur Halteplatte wirkende Schubkraft über die Schutzbacken eine auf die Halteplatte gerichtete Kraft, die größer als die Hebekraft ist, auf das Werkstück übertragen wird.The German patent application DE 43 41 744 A1 shows a thermoforming system for clamping devices on workpiece processing machines, consisting of two opposing parts, a stop - thermoforming clamp with fixed jaws and a thermoformer with movable jaws, between which the workpiece to be machined is clamped, with a stop thermoforming clamp is present as a stationary stop member which consists of a jaw body which is arranged on a holding plate, wherein the jaw body is equipped for clamping a workpiece with protective jaws, which has a vertical clamping surface to the holding plate, wherein the jaw body rests against a support and with an elastically bendable part relative to the holding plate and has a shape, whereby upon application of a force acting parallel to the holding plate thrust force on the protective jaws on the holding plate directed force, which is greater than the lifting force is transmitted to the workpiece.

In der DD 54 958 A ist eine Niederzugbacke für Werkzeugspanner, insbesondere für Schraubstöcke oder dgl. Mit begrenztem Niederzugweg und begrenzter Niederzugkraft offenbart. Die Niederzugbacke weist drei als biegeelastische, gegenüberliegend angeordnete Stege ausgebildete Funktionselemente auf, die durch parallele Schlitze abgeteilt sind.In the DD 54 958 A is a pull-down jaw for tool clamps, especially for vices or the like. With limited Niederzugweg and limited Niederzugkraft revealed. The Niederzugbacke has three as flexurally elastic, oppositely arranged webs trained functional elements, which are divided by parallel slots.

Eine Hauptforderung für ein optimales Spannsystem ist eine Einspannung eines Werkstückes, welches sich beim Einspannen und im eingespannten Zustand nicht von dem Schraubstockbett weg bewegen darf. Beispielsweise wird in Drahterosionsmaschinen während der Bearbeitung das Werkstück von fliessendem Wasser bis zu Drücken von 100 bar beaufschlagt, um Späne oder Abfallmaterial wegzuspülen. Dies kann zu Vibrationen des eingespannten Werkstückes führen, die sich auf die genaue Einspannung des Werkstückes negativ auswirken kann. Das Problem beim Stand der Technik ist, dass die geforderte Festigkeit beim Einspannen eines Werkzeuges aufgrund von anspruchsvolleren Anforderungen an die Anwendung nicht erreicht wird. Die Werkstücke werden beispielsweise grösser, so dass eine Einspannvorrichtung der vorliegenden Art die Fähigkeit haben muss, auch Werkstücke, die relativ gross zu der Grösse des Einspannwerkzeuges ist, optimal einspannen zu können. Beispielsweise haben Drahterosionmaschinen höhere Arbeitsgeschwindigkeiten. Dies erfordert höhere Wasserdrücke zum Abtransport der anfallenden Späne, was wiederum eine höhere Belastung auf das Werkstück zur Folge hat.A main requirement for an optimal clamping system is a clamping of a workpiece, which must not move away from the vise bed during clamping and in the clamped state. For example, in wire EDM machines, during machining, the workpiece becomes runny water up to pressures of 100 bar applied to rinse chips or waste material away. This can lead to vibrations of the clamped workpiece, which can negatively affect the exact clamping of the workpiece. The problem with the prior art is that the required strength when clamping a tool is not achieved due to more demanding application requirements. The workpieces become larger, for example, so that a clamping device of the present type must have the ability to optimally clamp workpieces that are relatively large to the size of the clamping tool. For example, wire erosion machines have higher working speeds. This requires higher water pressures for the removal of the resulting chips, which in turn has a higher load on the workpiece result.

Ein weiterer Nachteil ist der Einsatz von überstehenden Werkstücken aufgrund von zu geringer Belastungsmöglichkeit. Ein herausstehendes Werkstück erzeugt ein gewisses Biegemoment, welches die Einspannkraft negativ belasten kann.Another disadvantage is the use of protruding workpieces due to low load possibility. A protruding workpiece generates a certain bending moment, which can negatively burden the clamping force.

Für eine Bedienperson kann es von körperlichem Nachteil (Belastung der Gelenke und Muskeln) sein, wenn beispielsweise der Schraubstock mittels eines Schraubenschlüssels vielmals hintereinander manuell bedient werden muss.For an operator, it can be of physical disadvantage (stress on the joints and muscles), for example, if the vise must be manually operated by means of a wrench many times in succession.

Somit ist es die Aufgabe der Erfindung alle diese Nachteile zu vermeiden, nämlich die Einspannkraft bei gleicher Bedienkraft in Richtung Schraubstockbett und die Einspannfestigkeit zu vergrössern.Thus, it is the object of the invention to avoid all these disadvantages, namely to increase the clamping force with the same operating force towards the vise bed and the clamping strength.

Erfindungsgemäss wird die Erfindung durch das Kennzeichen von Anspruch 1 gelöst.According to the invention, the invention is solved by the characterizing part of claim 1.

Durch die variable Spannkraft der Spannbacken wird eine Erhöhung des Drehmomentes erreicht, indem bevorzugt die resultierende Spannkraft oberhalb der Mitte der Oberfläche der Spannplatte liegt.Due to the variable clamping force of the clamping jaws, an increase in the torque is achieved by preferably the resulting clamping force is above the center of the surface of the clamping plate.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Durch eine oder mehrerer dieser Massnahmen wird eine Verlagerung des Angriffspunktes der Spannkraft parallel zum Schraubstockbett erzielt mit der Folge einer Vergrösserung des Drehmomentes, welches auf das Werkstück wirkt. Infolgedessen wird die Festigkeit der Einspannung in Richtung senkrecht zum Schraubstockbett vergrössert. Das wesentliche Merkmal ist die Erreichung einer maximalen Belastbarkeit. Die Belastbarkeit ist durch das maximale Biegemoment gegeben, welches eine Funktion der resultierenden Kräfte auf das Werkstück ist. Die Belastbarkeit wird mit dieser Erfindung wesentlich vergrössert.By one or more of these measures, a displacement of the point of application of the clamping force is achieved in parallel to the vise bed with the result of an increase in the torque which acts on the workpiece. As a result, the strength of the clamping in the direction perpendicular to the vise bed is increased. The essential feature is the achievement of a maximum load capacity. The load capacity is given by the maximum bending moment, which is a function of the resulting forces on the workpiece. The load capacity is significantly increased with this invention.

Weiterhin wird das erforderliche Drehmoment, welches die Bedienperson aufwenden muss, verringert, um die gleiche Belastung wie nach dem Stand der Technik zu erzielen. Dies dient der Gesundheit der Bedienperson.Furthermore, the required torque which the operator must expend is reduced to achieve the same load as in the prior art. This is for the health of the operator.

Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die innere Brücke S-förmig ausgestaltet. Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die S-förmige Ausgestaltung der Brücke beschränkt. Alle denkbaren Formen, die zum Ziel einer Erhöhung der Spannkraft und Belastbarkeit führen sind denkbar.According to a preferred embodiment, the inner bridge is configured S-shaped. The invention is not limited to the S-shaped configuration of the bridge. All conceivable forms that lead to the goal of increasing the clamping force and load capacity are conceivable.

Erfindungsgemäss kann die Spannbacke zwischen den Brücken einen Hohlraum aufweisen, wobei die Krümmungen des Hohlraumes zur Vermeidung von Überbelastungen entsprechend ausgebildet sind.According to the invention, the clamping jaw between the bridges have a cavity, wherein the curvatures of the cavity are designed to avoid overloading.

Weiterhin kann die Spannbacke unterhalb der inneren Brücke einen gekrümmten Schlitz zur Vermeidung von Überbelastungen aufweisen.Furthermore, the jaw below the inner bridge may have a curved slot to avoid overloading.

Der Schlitz dient als Sicherheit für Überlastungen des Spannwerkzeuges. Die Schlitzbreite ist ein geometrisches Mass für die maximal erlaubte Belastung.The slot serves as security for overloading the clamping tool. The slot width is a geometric measure for the maximum allowable load.

With the spindle 22, a guided in the vice body 13 jaw 12 for clamping a workpiece 6 between the clamping jaws 11 and 12 is moved. The jaws 11 and 12 according to the prior art, two bridges 19 and 20. Between the bridges 19 and 20, a parallelogram-shaped cavity 21 is shown.

Die Figur 2 zeigt die Seitenansicht eines Schraubstockes mit einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform der Spannbacken 1. In die Spannbacken 1 ist ein Werkstück 6 eingespannt. Die Bezugszeichen in Figur 2 entsprechen den Bezugszeichen in Figur 1.The FIG. 2 shows the side view of a vise with an exemplary embodiment of the clamping jaws 1. In the jaws 1, a workpiece 6 is clamped. The reference numerals in FIG. 2 correspond to the reference numerals in FIG FIG. 1 ,

In Figur 3 ist eine Spannbacke 1, die auf einer Führung 23 beweglich gehalten ist, in dreidimensionaler Ansicht gezeigt.In FIG. 3 is a jaw 1, which is movably supported on a guide 23, shown in three-dimensional view.

Eine mögliche Ausgestaltung einer Spannbacke 1 ist der Seitenansicht in Figur 4 zu entnehmen. Die Spannbacke 1 weist eine Spannplatte 3 mit der zum Werkstück 6 gerichteten Oberfläche 7 auf. Ferner sind in der Spannbacke 1 eine äussere und eine innere Brücke 4 und 5 angeordnet. Der Verlauf der inneren und äusseren Brücke 4 und 5 ist nicht parallel. Die innere Brücke 5 ist mehr gekrümmt als die äussere Brücke 4, um eine geringere Steifigkeit zu erreichen. Aufgrund der so erzielten Federeigenschaften ist es möglich, einen vollflächigen Kontakt der Oberfläche 7 der Spannplatte 3 mit dem Werkstück 6 zu erreichen. Die Kräfteverhältnisse im eingespannten Zustand wird in den Figuren 5a und 5b näher beschrieben. Die hier gezeigte Ausführungsform zeigt eine bogenförmig geformte äussere Brücke 4 und eine S-förmige innere Brücke 5. Der von den Brücken 4 und 5 eingeschlossene Hohlraum 8 ist mit derartigen Krümmungen 9 versehen, dass eine Überbelastung der Spannbacken verhindert wird. Weiterhin ist als Überlastschutz ein gekrümmter, beispielsweise S-förmigen Schlitz 10 zwischen dem Schraubstockbett 15 und der inneren Brücke 5 vorgesehen. Die durch den Schlitz 10 gebildete Spaltbreite wird zu Null, wenn der beim Einspannen entstehende Drehmoment zu hoch werden würde.A possible embodiment of a clamping jaw 1 is the side view in FIG. 4 refer to. The clamping jaw 1 has a clamping plate 3 with the workpiece 6 facing surface 7. Further, in the clamping jaw 1, an outer and an inner bridge 4 and 5 are arranged. The course of the inner and outer bridge 4 and 5 is not parallel. The inner bridge 5 is more curved than the outer bridge 4 in order to achieve a lower rigidity. Due to the spring properties thus obtained, it is possible to achieve a full-surface contact of the surface 7 of the clamping plate 3 with the workpiece 6. The balance of power in the clamped state is in the FIGS. 5a and 5b described in more detail. The embodiment shown here shows an arcuately shaped outer bridge 4 and an S-shaped inner bridge 5. The cavity 8 enclosed by the bridges 4 and 5 is provided with such curvatures 9 that an overstressing of the clamping jaws is prevented. Furthermore, a curved, for example S-shaped slot 10 between the vise bed 15 and the inner bridge 5 is provided as overload protection. The gap width formed by the slot 10 becomes zero if the torque produced during clamping would become too high.

Ein Vergleich der Kräfteverhältnisse im eingespannten Zustand zwischen einer bekannten Spannbacke und einer beispielhaften erfindungsgemässen Spannbacke zeigen die Figuren 5a und 5b.A comparison of the balance of forces in the clamped state between a known jaw and an exemplary inventive clamping jaw show the FIGS. 5a and 5b ,

Die Figur 5a zeigt die Situation nach dem Stand der Technik. Die beiden Brücken 19 und 20 schliessen als Hohlraum 21 ein Parallelogramm ein. Die Spannkraft K ist über die gesamte Oberfläche 24 der Spannebene 25 konstant. Die resultierende Kraft Kr greift in der Mitte M der Spannebene 25 an, so dass sich ein Drehmoment Dm1, gebildet aus der resultierenden Kraft Kr und dem Abstand L1, ergibt.The FIG. 5a shows the situation according to the prior art. The two bridges 19 and 20 include as cavity 21 a parallelogram. The clamping force K is constant over the entire surface 24 of the clamping plane 25. The resulting force K r engages in the middle M of the clamping plane 25, so that a torque D m1 , formed from the resultant force K r and the distance L 1 results.

Anders ist der Kraftfluss bei der Erfindung, dargestellt am Beispiel in Figur 5b. Infolge der speziell gekrümmten Brücken 4 und 5 nehmen die Spannkräfte K von oben nach unten ab. Der Angriffspunkt der resultierenden Kraft Kr liegt oberhalb der Mitte M der Oberfläche 7 der Spannplatte 3. Damit wird der Abstand L2 grösser als der Abstand L1 in Figur 5a. Folglich vergrössert sich das Drehmoment Dm2 gegenüber dem Drehmoment Dm1 gegenüber dem Stand der Technik. Wesentlich ist die Erreichung eines maximalen Biegemomentes, welches sich aus den Kräften Kr und F2 multipliziert mit dem Arm L2 ergibt. Das Werkstück wird durch Friktion in der kritischen Biegerichtung gehalten. Die Biegefestigkeit ist wesentlich von der Länge L2 abhängig.The force flow in the invention is different, represented by the example in FIG FIG. 5b , Due to the specially curved bridges 4 and 5, the clamping forces K decrease from top to bottom. The point of application of the resulting force K r is above the center M of the surface 7 of the clamping plate 3. Thus, the distance L 2 is greater than the distance L 1 in FIG. 5a , Consequently, the torque D m2 increases over the torque D m1 over the prior art. It is essential to achieve a maximum bending moment, which is multiplied by the forces K r and F 2 with the arm L 2 results. The workpiece is held in the critical bending direction by friction. The flexural strength is significantly dependent on the length L 2 .

Der Vergleich der Kräfteverteilung von Figur 5a mit dem der Figur 5b zeigt, dass die zum Schraubstockbett 15 gerichtete Kraft F2 in Figur 5b grösser ist als die Kraft F, in Figur 5a. Damit wird das Werkstück 6 bei dem erfindungsgemässen Beispiel stärker nach unten gezogen und fester gehalten, was ein wesentliches Ziel der Erfindung ist.The comparison of the distribution of forces of FIG. 5a with the FIG. 5b shows that the directed to the vise bed 15 force F 2 in FIG. 5b greater than the force F, in FIG. 5a , Thus, the workpiece 6 is pulled in the example according to the invention more strongly down and held, which is an essential objective of the invention.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die in den Figuren gezeigten gekrümmten Formen der Brücken und des Schlitzes beschränkt. Wesentlich ist eine solche Geometrie zu finden, die in einer höheren Kraft in Richtung Schraubstockbett gegenüber dem Stand der Technik mit geraden und parallelen geometrischen Eigenschaften resultiert.The invention is not limited to the curved shapes of the bridges and the slot shown in the figures. It is essential to find such a geometry, which results in a higher force in the direction of the vice bed compared to the prior art with straight and parallel geometric properties.

Die mit der Erfindung verbundenen Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, durch eine geeignete Form der Spannbacken eine grössere Belastbarkeit und eine grössere Spannkraft bei gleichem Bediendrehmoment zu erreichen. Für eine Bedienperson ist die Handhabung des Schraubstocks mit den erfindungsgemässen Spannbacken weniger belastbar für ihre Gelenke und Muskeln.The advantages associated with the invention are in particular to achieve a greater load capacity and a greater clamping force at the same operating torque by a suitable shape of the clamping jaws. For an operator, the handling of the vise with the inventive jaws less resilient to their joints and muscles.
