Definitions
- the invention is based on a dispensing tool for pasty substances in interchangeable containers according to the preamble of the first claim.
- Dispensierwerkmaschinee which are referred to as injection gun, Caulk Gun or Application Gun, and the example of the documents EP 1454844A1 and WO 2005 / 120720A1 are known to serve the metered delivery of a pasty substance from interchangeable containers.
- Dispensing tools of this type are typically provided with a manually, electrically or pneumatically actuated drive. Electrically driven dispensing tools are manufactured, for example, by the MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORPORATION, eg model series 6560-2X.
- Mentioned dispensing tools have the disadvantage that, in order to remove the exchangeable containers, in particular if they are bags, the dispensing tool in each case is opened at the front to the expulsion direction. In this case, a part of the dispensing tool must be removed, typically front is a cap with a funnel unscrewed to remove the empty container and a full insert. On the one hand, this procedure is cumbersome, since the removed part of the dispensing tool has to be parked separately; on the other hand, the process is time-consuming, in particular if the end piece has to be unscrewed manually and subsequently screwed on again.
- Object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved device of the type mentioned.
- the dispensing tool should be suitable for the optimized processing of filled with pasty substance interchangeable containers, typically bags and cartridges.
- a arranged for processing on the support element interchangeable container in the partially or completely deflated state should be easily and quickly removable.
- the dispensing tool should also simplify the loading of the dispensing tool and make it faster executable. According to the invention this is achieved by the features of the first claim.
- the advantages of the invention can be seen in the fact that the loading and removal of interchangeable containers can be carried out quickly and easily by the above-mentioned mobility of parts or the entire guide holder and / or the support element from the axis of the expulsion direction.
- FIG. 1 Various embodiments of a dispensing tool 1 are shown.
- the dispensing tool 1 has an exchangeable container 2 containing a pasty substance 3 and a support element 4, to which the interchangeable container 2 is arranged.
- the dispensing tool has a guide holder 5, which is arranged axially to the expulsion direction 6 of the pasty substance 3 from the exchangeable container 2.
- the guide holder 5 comprises the support member 4 at least partially.
- the dispensing tool has a sprouting device 7 for the pasty substance 3.
- a part or the entire guide holder 5 and / or the support element 4 can be moved out of the axis of the expulsion direction 6, in particular by folding away parallel or at any angle to the expulsion direction 6.
- FIG. 1a shows an embodiment in which the support member 4 by folding the front end 22 of the support member from the axis of the ejection direction 6 is movable.
- FIG. 1b shows an embodiment in which the support member 4 by lateral folding away in parallel from the axis of Austnebscardi 6 are movable.
- Figure 1c shows an embodiment in which a part of the guide holder 5 is movable by folding down from the axis of the ejection direction 6.
- FIGS. 2a and 2b are side views of the embodiment of FIG. 1a shown. Shown is inter alia an exchangeable container 2 containing a pasty substance 3.
- the pasty substance 3 may be any type of pasty and / or viscous material. Typically it is too processing material, in particular an adhesive composition and / or sealant composition, preferably an adhesive composition.
- the exchangeable container 2 in FIGS. 2a and 2b is formed as a bag, the interchangeable container 2 may, however, be selected from the group consisting of cylindrical container with displaceable piston, bag, bag with positive connection and bag surrounded with a container with a hard outer shell.
- the interchangeable container 2 is a bag.
- the use of bags has the advantage that bags are inexpensive and cause less waste.
- a cylindrical container with displaceable piston offers the advantage that no support of the container is necessary.
- the support element 4 has the task of supporting and fixing the interchangeable containers 2 in order to ensure reliable expelling of the pasty substance 3 from the replaceable container 2 by the expulsion device 7.
- the support member 4 may for example be a movable lid, such as in FIG. 1b shown.
- the support element 4 is a support tube, wherein the interchangeable container 2 is arranged, as for example in the FIGS. 1a and 1c is shown.
- FIG. 2b Shown is in FIG. 2b Further, that it is at the support member 4 is a support tube.
- the support member is connected to the guide bracket 5.
- the dispensing tool has at least one fixing 9, which can prevent the movement of the support element from the axis of the expulsion direction 6.
- Such a fixation 9 are in FIG. 2 Among other things, the line guides 11 and the connector 24.
- a line guides 11 comprises a guide rail 12 which is located on the guide holder 5 and is arranged axially to the expulsion direction 6, and a slider 13, which is located on the support element 4.
- the guide rail 12 allows the slider 13 to move along the ejection direction 6. Movement along the ejection direction 6 is understood to mean both the movement in the ejection direction 6 and counter to the expulsion direction 6.
- the guide rail 121 further has a region 14 which allows the slider 131 in addition to movement along the Ausretesplatz a movement in at least any angle to the Ausretestent 6, in this case due to a folding up of the front part of the support member. A rotation of the slider 13 about its own axis is not understood in this context as movement in any angle to Austriebsraum 6.
- the dispensing tool 1 in FIG. 2a has a Austriebsvorraumtage 7, which comprises a connectable to a piston 15 guide rod 16, wherein the guide rod 16 is axially slidably mounted along the Austriebsraum 6.
- the guide rod 16 is inserted into the support member 4 such that the piston 15 acts on the interchangeable container 2 and can displace it from the support member 4
- the guide rod 16 is a rack.
- the expulsion device 7 can be operated manually, electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically, in particular electrically.
- the expulsion device 7 preferably comprises an electric motor 71 which is supplied with power from an accumulator 72.
- the guide rod 16 can also be driven by means of a manually operated device.
- the dispensing tool 1 in FIGS. 2a and 2b a funnel 8.
- the support tube 4 and the funnel 8 can be connected by translation of the support element 4 and / or the funnel 8 along the expulsion direction 6, in particular form-fitting, preferably by a connector 24.
- the hopper 8 is detachably connected to the guide bracket 5 through a mount 19.
- a releasable funnel 8 is advantageous in that when changing the type of pasty substance 3 and the funnel can be replaced if a contamination of the first avoided with the subsequent pasty substance shall be.
- FIG. 2a shows the dispensing tool 1 having a guide rod 16 with a cam 17 and a safety device 18.
- the support member 4 is displaceable by means of cam 17 by the guide rod 16 axially in the expulsion direction 6.
- FIG. 3 shows the position of the support member 4 after swinging down from the in FIGS. 2a and 2b shown position, typically after loading of the support member 4 with a replaceable Container 2.
- the slider 131 of the guide rail 121 is located in the region 14, the support member is therefore in the position shown both a movement along the axis of the Austriebsraum 6 and a folding at any angle, limited by the area 14, to Austriebsraum. 6 possible.
- the cam 17 of the guide rod 16 ensures in a displacement of the guide rod axially in the Austriebsplatz 6 that the support member follows the mentioned shift, since the support member is moved over the tilting member 21 of the fuse 18 through the cam 17.
- a movement of the support element at any angle to Austriebsraum is no longer possible because on the one hand the slider 131 of the guide rail 121 is moved from the region 14 and on the other hand, the mating portion of the support member 25 at the front end of the support member 22 positively by a connector 24 with the Plug-in area 26 of the funnel 8 is connected. This is in FIGS. 4a, 4b and 4c seen.
- FIGS. 4a and 4b it can be seen that the mentioned displaceability of the support element 4 can be canceled by the fuse 18.
- the ramp 20, which leads to a rotational movement of the tilting element 21, serves as soon as the tilting element 21 is pushed over the ramp 20 along the direction of expulsion during the displacement of the support element.
- the rotational movement of the tilting element 21 releases the contact of the cam 17 with the tilting element 21 of the safety device 18.
- the guide rod 16 can move the interchangeable container 2 in the direction of the funnel via the piston 15 and thus drive out the pasty substance 3.
- FIG. 5 shows the position of the piston 15 with emptied interchangeable container. If the interchangeable container is a bag, then the emptied interchangeable container 28 is typically due to its small volume to a large extent in the hopper 8 place.
- the guide rod 16 against the Expulsion direction 6 remains the emptied replaceable container 28 due to the adhesion of the pasty substance 3 in conjunction with the hopper 8. This allows the guide rod 16 against the Austriebscardi 6 are withdrawn and the support member are folded up, as shown in FIGS. 6a and 6b is shown.
- the support element is thus free of emptied interchangeable container 28 and can be reloaded immediately, while the emptied interchangeable container 28 can be easily removed from the hopper. If, on the other hand, an only partially emptied interchangeable container 29 has to be removed from the support element 4, folding up of the support element after retraction of the guide rod 16 against the expulsion direction 6 is not possible due to the large volume of the partially emptied interchangeable container 29. Therefore, as previously described and in FIG. 7 shown, the retraction of the guide rod 16, the attachment 19 of the funnel 8 are opened. This allows retraction of the support member in conjunction with the hopper 8, wherein the support member can then be folded up and the partially emptied interchangeable container 29 can be removed in connection with the hopper 8 from the support element.
- FIG. 8 is the side view of the embodiment FIG. 1b shown. Unlike the embodiment of FIG. 1b it is in the support member 4 is a support tube. This is to the advantage that a better support and fixation of the interchangeable container is ensured by a support tube.
- the advantage of in FIG. 1b In the embodiment shown, where the support element is a movable cover, it is in particular that such a design is simpler and less expensive and the interchangeable container can be exchanged more quickly.
- the support member 4 in is connected to a movable part 10 of the guide holder 5, which is parallel from the axis of the Expulsion direction 6 can be folded away. This allows the support element in the folded-away state, as in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9c shown, easily fill with a removable container 2.
- the movable part 10 of the guide holder 5 by locking the fixations 91 axially to the expulsion direction 6 can be positively connected to the rest of the guide holder 5.
- the fixing 91 consists of locking lugs 30 on the movable part 10, which engage in the latching groove 31 when latching.
- the support member 4 is connected to the movable part 10 of the guide holder 5 in a manner which allows the displacement of the support member 4 axially along the expulsion direction 6.
- the dispersion tool has a line guide 111, which consists of a guide rail 122 on the movable part 10 of the guide holder 5 and a slider 132 on the support element 4.
- FIG. 9a shows the position of the piston 15 with emptied interchangeable container 28.
- the emptied interchangeable container 28 due to its small volume typically to a large extent in the hopper 8 place when it is the interchangeable container 2 is a bag.
- the emptied interchangeable container 28 remains in connection with the hopper 8, as shown in FIG. 9b is shown.
- the guide rod 16 can be withdrawn against the Austriebscardi 6 and the movable part of the guide bracket 10 are folded away with the support member 4, as FIG. 9c shows.
- the support element is thus free of emptied interchangeable container 28 and can be reloaded immediately, while the emptied interchangeable container 28 can be easily removed from the hopper.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown and described. Further, various materials can be used for the production of the device parts. Furthermore, the device can be manufactured in different dimensions, according to the needs of the user. Some of the parts used can be changed while retaining their function, or, if the function is not required, omitted.
