Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrohydraulisches Pressgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1, siehe z.B. das Dokument EP 0 463 530 A2 . Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Durchführung einer technischen Diagnose des Pressgerätes gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 9.The invention relates to an electro-hydraulic pressing device according to the preamble of patent claim 1, see for example the document EP 0 463 530 A2 , Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for carrying out a technical diagnosis of the pressing device according to the preamble of patent claim 9.

Ein derartiges Pressgerät ist aus der DE 199 46 380 A1 bekannt. Dieses Dokument beschreibt ein Pressgerät zum Verbinden von Werkstücken, insbesondere von Pressfittings mit einem Rohr, weiches ein auswechselbares Presswerkzeug aufweist, das mindestens zwei Pressbacken umfasst, und einen Backenantrieb zum Bewegen der Pressbacken von einer Offenstellung in eine Endpressstellung sowie eine elektronische Steuer- und Überwachungseinrichtung aufweist. Im Presswerkzeug ist ein elektrischer Energiespeicher untergebracht, der mindestens ein im Presswerkzeug vorhandenes Funktionsteil mit Informationsübertragungs- und/oder Steuer- beziehungsweise Überwachungsfunktion speist. Diese Funktionsteile werden in der DE 199 46 380 A1 als bekannte Überwachungsmittel beschrieben, wobei am Pressgerät selbst ein Tableau mit optischen Anzeigemitteln vorhanden ist, durch das bestimmte überwachte Funktionen signalisiert werden können. Als Anzeigemittel werden dabei oft Leuchtdioden in verschiedenen Farben eingesetzt. Außerdem sind verschiedene bekannte Pressgeräte auch mit akustischen Signalgebern ausgerüstet.Such a pressing device is from the DE 199 46 380 A1 known. This document describes a pressing device for connecting workpieces, in particular press fittings with a tube, which has a replaceable pressing tool, which comprises at least two pressing jaws, and a jaw drive for moving the pressing jaws from an open position to a final pressing position and an electronic control and monitoring device , In the pressing tool, an electrical energy store is housed, which feeds at least one functional part present in the pressing tool with information transmission and / or control or monitoring function. These functional parts are in the DE 199 46 380 A1 described as known monitoring means, wherein the pressing device itself a tableau with optical display means is provided, can be signaled by the certain monitored functions. In this case, light emitting diodes in various colors are often used as the display means. In addition, various known pressing devices are also equipped with sounders.

Das bekannte Presswerkzeug weist beispielsweise eine elektronische Sicherheitseinheit auf, welche mindestens ein Überwachungselement umfasst, das den Antrieb überprüft und feststellt, ob ein Pressdruckwert innerhalb eines vordefinierten Toleranzbereiches erreicht worden ist. Stellt das Überwachungselement fest, dass der Pressdruck nicht den geforderten Toleranzbereich erreicht hat, so wird dies optisch und/oder akustisch angezeigt. Ähnlich können auch Fehlfunktionen und/oder die Einsatzbereitschaft des Presswerkzeuges angezeigt werden. In einigen Fällen sperrt die Sicherheitseinheit den Antrieb. Außerdem soll in bevorzugter Weise die Anzeige derart erfolgen, dass auf die Art des Fehlers rückgeschlossen werden kann. Dies soll beispielsweise dadurch realisiert werden, dass das optische Anzeigeelement durch verschiedenfarbige Leuchtdioden, wie eine rote und eine grüne, gebildet ist, die bei verschiedenen Zuständen gemeinsam oder alternativ, konstant oder blinkend aufleuchten.The known pressing tool has, for example, an electronic safety unit which comprises at least one monitoring element which checks the drive and determines whether a pressing pressure value has been reached within a predefined tolerance range. If the monitoring element determines that the pressing pressure has not reached the required tolerance range, this is indicated optically and / or acoustically. Similarly, malfunction and / or the readiness of the press tool can be displayed. In some cases The safety unit locks the drive. In addition, in a preferred manner, the display should be such that it can be deduced the nature of the error. This is to be realized for example by the fact that the optical display element is formed by differently colored LEDs, such as a red and a green, which light up together or alternatively, constantly or flashing at different states.

Die Ausstattung mit einer solchen Sicherheitseinrichtung führt in einigen Fällen nachteiligerweise dazu, dass das Gerät durch die Abschaltung des Antriebs nicht mehr betriebsbereit ist und der Bedienperson durch die blinkenden Lämpchen angezeigt wird, dass sie ein Servicezentrum aufzusuchen hat. Hier wird bei einer Überprüfung jedoch oft festgestellt, dass die Sperrung des Antriebs nur auf Ursachen, beispielsweise auf Verschmutzungen an der Rückzugsfeder, zurückzuführen ist, die auch am Einsatzort des Geräts hätten behoben werden können. Der damit verbundene Arbeitsausfall, der umso größer ist, je weiter ein Einsatzort des Pressgerätes von einem Servicezentrum entfernt ist, stellt in einem solchen Fall einen vermeidbaren Nachteil dar. Hätte jedoch die Bedienperson das Pressgerät nicht zum Servicezentrum gebracht und versucht, die Betriebsbereitschaft selbst wieder herzustellen, so könnte ein solcher Eingriff zum Verlust der Garantie für das Gerät führen.The provision of such a safety device in some cases disadvantageously means that the device is no longer ready for operation by the shutdown of the drive and the operator is indicated by the flashing lights that she has to visit a service center. Here, however, a check is often found that the locking of the drive only due to causes, such as soiling of the return spring, which could also be fixed at the site of the device. The associated loss of work, which is the greater, the further a place of use of the pressing device is removed from a service center, represents an avoidable disadvantage in such a case. However, the operator would not have brought the pressing device to the service center and tried to restore the operational readiness itself For example, such interference could void the warranty on the device.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein elektrohydraulisches Pressgerät der eingangs beschriebenen Art zu schaffen, an dem eine vereinfachte technische Diagnose möglich ist.The invention has for its object to provide an electro-hydraulic pressing device of the type described above, in which a simplified technical diagnosis is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein elektrohydraulisches Pressgerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by an electro-hydraulic pressing device with the features of claim 1.

Durch die Erfindung wird es vorteilhafterweise möglich, am Einsatzort (beispielsweise einer Baustelle) eine umfassendere und detailliertere Diagnose, insbesondere zur Feststellung und Identifizierung von Funktionsmängeln des Pressgerätes vorzunehmen. Diesbezüglich relevante technische Daten, die im elektronischen Informationsspeicher, wie in einem Chip, der elektronischen Steuer- und Überwachungseinheit niedergelegt sind, können so nach der Übertragung auf einen Computer mit einer Diagnosesoftware ausgewertet werden.The invention advantageously makes it possible to carry out a more comprehensive and detailed diagnosis at the place of use (for example a construction site), in particular for the purpose of determining and identifying functional defects of the pressing device. In this regard, relevant technical data in the electronic information storage, such as in a chip, the electronic control and Can be evaluated after the transfer to a computer with a diagnostic software.

Es ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, wenn ein bestimmter Satz an Informationen dauerhaft im elektronischen Informationsspeicher des Pressgeräts (insbesondere in dem mit der elektronischen Steuer- und Überwachungseinheit verbundenen oder in diese integrierten elektronischen Informationsspeicher) gespeichert werden. Hierdurch ist es erfindungsgemäß möglich, dass beispielsweise jeder einzelne Betätigungsvorgang des Pressgeräts nachträglich analysiert werden kann. Es ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass eine die Hubzahl des Pressgerätes repräsentierende Information und wenigstens eine Betriebsinformation pro Betriebssekunde des Antriebs dauerhaft im elektronischen Informationsspeicher abgespeichert werden. Unter einer Betriebsinformation pro Betriebssekunde des Antriebs des Pressgeräts soll hierbei erfindungsgemäß verstanden werden, dass beispielsweise die von einem Elektromotor des Pressgeräts aufgenommene Leistung anhand einer Strommessung und einer Spannungsmessung oder auch anhand lediglich einer Strommessung oder einer Spannungsmessung (des Betriebsstroms des Elektromotors) gemessen und wenigstens für jede Betriebssekunde ein Messwert zur Leistungsaufnahme des Elektromotors im elektronischen Informationsspeicher abgespeichert wird. Anhand der im Informationsspeicher abgespeicherten Betriebsinformationen ist es - insbesondere nach einer Übertragung dieser Betriebsinformationen auf den Computer - möglich, dass der Betrieb des Pressgeräts analysiert wird, beispielsweise mittels einer graphischen Analyse des Verlaufs der Leistungsaufnahme des Elektromotors während eines Presshubs.It is provided according to the invention when a specific set of information is stored permanently in the electronic information memory of the pressing device (in particular in the electronic information storage device connected to or integrated in the electronic control and monitoring unit). This makes it possible according to the invention that, for example, each individual actuation process of the pressing device can be subsequently analyzed. It is provided according to the invention that an information representing the number of strokes of the pressing device and at least one operating information per operating second of the drive are stored permanently in the electronic information memory. In this case, operating information per operating second of the drive of the pressing device is to be understood according to the invention as measuring, for example, the power consumed by an electric motor of the pressing device by means of a current measurement and a voltage measurement or also by means of only one current measurement or one voltage measurement (the operating current of the electric motor) and at least for every operating second, a measured value for the power consumption of the electric motor is stored in the electronic information memory. On the basis of the operating information stored in the information memory, it is possible, in particular after transmission of this operating information to the computer, that the operation of the pressing device is analyzed, for example by means of a graphic analysis of the course of the power consumption of the electric motor during a pressing stroke.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn pro Umdrehung (oder pro zwei Umdrehungen oder pro drei Umdrehungen oder pro vier Umdrehungen oder pro fünf Umdrehungen oder pro sechs Umdrehungen) des Elektromotors eine Betriebsinformation dauerhaft im Informationsspeicher dauerhaft abgespeichert wird.It is particularly advantageous if per revolution (or per two revolutions or per three revolutions or per four revolutions or per five revolutions or per six revolutions) of the electric motor an operating information is permanently stored permanently in the information memory.

Alternativ oder kumulativ zur Verwendung der vom Elektromotor des Pressgeräts aufgenommenen Leistung als Betriebsinformation kann es auch vorgesehen sein, dass - für den Fall eines elektrohydraulischen Pressgeräts - die Daten einer Druckmessung im hydraulischen System (insbesondere im Arbeitszylinder) als Betriebsinformation herangezogen werden.Alternatively or cumulatively to the use of the power absorbed by the electric motor of the pressing device as operating information, it may also be provided that - in the case of an electro-hydraulic pressing device - the data of a pressure measurement in the hydraulic system (in particular in the working cylinder) Operating information are used.

Ferner kann es alternativ oder kumulativ zur Verwendung der vom Elektromotor des Pressgeräts aufgenommenen Leistung und/oder der Druckmessung im hydraulischen System als Betriebsinformation auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Daten einer Kraftmessung im Bereich des Presswerkzeugs als Betriebsinformation herangezogen werden, beispielsweise eine Kraftmessung im Bereich des Antriebs zum Bewegen des Presswerkzeuges.Furthermore, alternatively or cumulatively to the use of the power absorbed by the electric motor of the pressing device and / or the pressure measurement in the hydraulic system, it can also be provided as operating information that the data of a force measurement in the area of the pressing tool be used as operating information, for example a force measurement in the area of the drive for moving the pressing tool.

Zusätzlich zu dem erfindungsgemäß im Informationsspeicher dauerhaft abgespeicherten Satz an Informationen zum Betrieb des Pressgeräts (nämlich umfassend wenigstens eine die Hubzahl des Pressgerätes repräsentierende Information und wenigstens eine Betriebsinformation pro Betriebssekunde des Antriebs) kann es erfindungsgemäß auch vorgesehen sein, dass zusätzliche Informationen pro Arbeitshub des Pressgeräts oder auch pro Betriebssekunde des Pressgeräts bzw. des Antriebs dauerhaft im Informationsspeicher abgespeichert werden. Diese zusätzlichen dauerhaft abgespeicherten Informationen betreffen eine die Temperatur des Pressgerätes (oder die Temperatur eines Teils des Pressgeräts, insbesondere eines Schaltkreises der elektronischen Steuer- und Überwachungseinheit) repräsentierende Information und/oder eine das Datum oder den Zeitpunkt des Betriebs des Antriebs repräsentierende Information. Zur Bereitstellung der erstgenannten zusätzlichen Information (betreffend die Temperatur) ist insbesondere in der elektronischen Steuer- und Überwachungseinheit ein Temperatursensor vorgesehen. Zur Bereitstellung der letztgenannten zusätzlichen Information (betreffend das Datum bzw. die Zeit) ist insbesondere in der elektronischen Steuer- und Überwachungseinheit eine Uhr bzw. eine Zeitmesseinrichtung vorgesehen.In addition to the invention according to the invention stored permanently in the information store set of information on the operation of the pressing device (namely comprising at least one stroke number of the pressing device representing information and at least one operating information per operating second of the drive), it may also be provided according to the invention that additional information per stroke of the pressing device or be permanently stored in the information store per operating second of the pressing device or the drive. This additional permanently stored information relates to information representing the temperature of the pressing device (or the temperature of a part of the pressing device, in particular a circuit of the electronic control and monitoring unit) and / or information representing the date or time of operation of the drive. To provide the first-mentioned additional information (concerning the temperature), a temperature sensor is provided in particular in the electronic control and monitoring unit. To provide the latter additional information (concerning the date or time), a clock or a time measuring device is provided in particular in the electronic control and monitoring unit.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es daher anhand der dauerhaft im Informationsspeicher abgespeicherten Informationen möglich, den Betrieb des Pressgeräts im nachhinein zu analysieren und auch Prognosen über den zukünftigen Einsatz des Pressgeräts zu machen. Insbesondere kann mittels der aufgenommenen, abgespeicherten und analysierbaren Daten ein allmählich auftretender Verschleiß bzw. eine allmählich auftretende Verschmutzung etwa am Elektromotor oder auch am Presswerkzeug oder auch am hydraulischen System festgestellt werden, so dass beispielsweise Prognosen über die Anzahl der voraussichtlich noch erfolgreich durchführbaren Pressvorgänge gemacht werden kann, was in der Praxis sehr wichtig sein kann, weil mittels einer solchen Prognose beispielsweise die Frage entschieden werden kann, ob eine bestimmte Baustelle (mit einer ungefähr voraussehbaren Anzahl von erforderlichen Verpressungen) noch ohne zwischendurch erforderliche Wartung/Reparatur durchführbar ist oder nicht.According to the invention, it is therefore possible based on the information stored permanently in the information store to analyze the operation of the pressing device in retrospect and also to make forecasts on the future use of the pressing device. In particular, by means of the recorded, stored and analyzable data, a gradually occurring wear or a gradually occurring contamination, for example, on the electric motor or also on the pressing tool or be found on the hydraulic system, so that, for example, forecasts can be made about the number of presumably still successfully performed pressing operations, which in practice can be very important, because such a prediction, for example, the question can be decided whether a particular construction site (with an approximately predictable number of required compressions) is still feasible or not required in between maintenance / repair or not.

Bei der Informationsübertragung zwischen dem Pressgerät und dem Computer ist es von Vorteil, wenn das Interface zum Anschluss des Computers ein Universal-Serial-Bus (USB), insbesondere eine USB-Steckbuchse zum Anschluss eines Laptops über ein USB-Kabel, ist. Der Universal Serial Bus (USB) ist ein serielles Bussystem zur Verbindung eines Computers mit externen Geräten. Ein mit USB aus-gestattetes Pressgerät kann sogar im laufenden Betrieb, also beispielsweise bei einem Testlauf, mit dem Computer verbunden sein, wobei es möglich ist, die Charakteristika, wie z. B. statische Eigenschaften oder einen bestimmten Betriebszustand, der elektronischen Steuer- und Überwachungseinheit, insbesondere des elektronischen Informationsspeichers derselben, automatisch zu erkennen, wobei hohe Datenübertragungsraten möglich sind. Im Computer steht dann zur Verarbeitung der Daten ein weitaus höherer Speicherplatz zur Verfügung als der, der in der elektronischen Steuer-und Überwachungseinheit technisch möglich ist bzw. unter dem Gesichtspunkt einer Minimierung des technischen Aufwands - und damit der Gerätekosten - angemessen erscheint. Alternativ oder kumulativ zur Verwendung einer drahtgebundenen Schnittstelle bzw. eines drahtgebundenen Interfaces wie die USB-Schnittstelle kann es erfidungsgemäß auch vorgesehen sein, dass eine drahtlose Schnittstelle für die Verbindung zwischen dem Pressgerät und dem Computer vorgesehen ist. Beispiele für solche drahtlose Schnittstellen sind eine Infrarot-Schnittstelle oder auch eine Funkschnittstelle wie etwa Bluetooth, WLAN oder dergleichen.When transmitting information between the pressing device and the computer, it is advantageous if the interface for connecting the computer is a universal serial bus (USB), in particular a USB socket for connecting a laptop via a USB cable. The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus system for connecting a computer to external devices. A USB-equipped pressing device can be connected to the computer even during operation, that is, for example during a test run, it being possible to determine the characteristics, such as, for example, a test run. B. static properties or a specific operating condition, the electronic control and monitoring unit, in particular the electronic information storage of the same, to automatically recognize, with high data transfer rates are possible. In the computer is then available to process the data a much higher space available than that which is technically possible in the electronic control and monitoring unit or from the point of view of minimizing the technical effort - and thus the equipment costs - seems appropriate. Alternatively or in addition to the use of a wired interface or a wired interface such as the USB interface, it can also be provided according to the invention that a wireless interface is provided for the connection between the pressing device and the computer. Examples of such wireless interfaces are an infrared interface or a radio interface such as Bluetooth, WLAN or the like.

Auch einer Anordnung zur technischen Diagnose eines Pressgerätes, umfassend das Pressgerät mit den erfindungsgemäßen Merkmalen, einen Computer sowie eine Verbindung zwischen beiden (für den Fall einer drahtgebundenen Kommunikationsschnittstelle insbesondere ein Verbindungskabel zum Anschluss des Pressgerätes an den Computer) wird erfinderische Bedeutung beigemessen.Also, an arrangement for the technical diagnosis of a pressing device, comprising the pressing device with the features according to the invention, a computer and a connection between the two (in the case of a wired communication interface, in particular a connection cable to the connection the pressing device to the computer) is attributed inventive significance.

Gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Diagnoseverfahren wird diese Anordnung verwendet. Dabei können - wie erwähnt - die im elektronischen Informationsspeicher der Steuer- und Überwachungseinheit niedergelegten Informationen in den Computer übertragen und einer Datenverarbeitung unterzogen werden. Hierbei kann bedarfsweise auch eine Funktionsüberprüfung unter Inbetriebnahme des erfindungsgemäßen Pressgerätes und beispielsweise der Durchführung eines Leerhubs mit einem eingesetzten Presswerkzeug erfolgen, wobei bevorzugt eine Aufnahme einer Strom-Spannungs-Charakteristik erfolgt. Die aufgenommene Strom-Spannungs-Charakteristik kann im Computer mit dort niedergelegten, für bestimmte Funktions-und Fehlerzustände charakteristischen Strom-Spannungs-Charakteristiken verglichen und daraus, gegebenenfalls unter zusätzlicher Heranziehung der aus dem elektronischen Informationsspeicher der Steuer- und Überwachungseinheit in den Computer übertragenen Informationen, ein Diagnosebild erstellt werden.According to the diagnostic method according to the invention, this arrangement is used. In this case, as mentioned, the information stored in the electronic information memory of the control and monitoring unit can be transmitted to the computer and subjected to data processing. In this case, if necessary, a function check carried out under commissioning of the pressing device according to the invention and, for example, the execution of a Leerhubs with an inserted pressing tool, preferably taking a recording of a current-voltage characteristic. The recorded current-voltage characteristic can be compared in the computer with there laid down, characteristic of certain functional and fault conditions current-voltage characteristics and, where appropriate, with the addition of information transferred from the electronic information storage of the control and monitoring unit in the computer information, a diagnostic image will be created.
