Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schere zum Durchtrennen eines Rohres, insbesondere eines Verbundrohres, die zwei zueinander um eine Drehachse schwenkbare zweiarmige Hebel aufweist, die auf ihrer einen Seite ein Schneidmaul und auf der anderen Seite zwei Griffschenkel aufweisen.The invention relates to a pair of scissors for severing a tube, in particular a composite tube, which has two two-armed lever pivotable about a rotation axis, which have a cutting jaw on one side and two gripping legs on the other side.

Solche, von Hand zu betätigende Scheren werden im Sanitär- und Heizungsbau zum Schneiden von Rohren, insbesondere von kunststoffbeschichteten Metallrohren benötigt, die zum Teil noch mit einem gewellten Schutzrohr umhüllt sein können.Such, manually operated scissors are needed in sanitary and heating construction for cutting pipes, in particular plastic-coated metal pipes, which may still be wrapped in part with a corrugated protective tube.

Um das Rohr ohne Quetschung sauber trennen zu können, wird bei vielen bekannten Konstruktionen im Schneidmaul ein Auflager für das zu schneidende Rohr verwendet, das aus zwei parallel zueinander angeordneten Stützflächen besteht, die voneinander einen Abstand haben, der die Durchführung des an dem gegenüberliegenden Zangenhebel angeordneten Messers erlaubt. Das Auflager hat eine konkave Mulde, deren Krümmung kleiner ist als der Radius des zu schneidenden Rohres. Das Messer ist lösbar befestigt, um bei Bedarf einen schnellen Austausch vornehmen zu können.In order to be able to cleanly separate the tube without pinching, in many known constructions a support for the tube to be cut is used, which consists of two mutually parallel support surfaces, which have a distance from each other, which arranged the implementation of the arranged on the opposite forceps lever Knife allowed. The support has a concave depression whose curvature is smaller than the radius of the pipe to be cut. The knife is releasably attached to make a quick replacement if necessary.

Trotz optimierter Schneidmesserführung und Auflager für das zu schneidende Rohr lassen sich geringfügige Verformungen an der Schnittstelle nicht vermeiden. Um solchen Verformungen oder andere Unregelmäßigkeiten, die durch einen nicht sauberen Schnitt entstehen, beseitigen zu können, müssen Rohrenden mit sogenannten Kalibrierwerkzeugen nachgearbeitet werden. Kalibrierwerkzeuge besitzen einen von einer Führungshülse umgebenen, drehend bewegbaren Werkzeugschaft, der einen Kalibrierdorn sowie Werkzeugschneiden besitzt. Um die Kalibrierung am Rohrende vornehmen zu können, muss das Rohrende in die auf den Werkzeugschaft längs verschiebbare Führungshülse eingeschoben werden, bis das Rohrende am Kalibrierdorn zur Anlage kommt. Anschließend wird durch Eindrücken des Kopfteils des Kalibrierdorns in die Rohrendöffnung die Kalibrierung sowie gegebenenfalls später eine Anfasung mittels Anfaswerkzeugen vorgenommen.Despite optimized cutting knife guidance and supports for the pipe to be cut, minor deformations at the interface can not be avoided. In order to be able to eliminate such deformations or other irregularities that result from a non-clean cut, pipe ends must be reworked using so-called calibration tools. Calibration tools have a rotatably movable tool shaft surrounded by a guide sleeve and having a calibration mandrel and tool cutting edges. In order to carry out the calibration at the end of the pipe, the pipe end must be pushed into the guide sleeve which can be moved longitudinally along the tool shank until the pipe end comes into contact with the calibration mandrel. Subsequently, by pressing in the head part of the calibration mandrel into the pipe end opening, the calibration and optionally later a chamfering by means of chamfering tools.

Um diesen Arbeitsschritt exakt ausführen zu können, ist es notwendig, das Rohrende sicher zu fixieren. Insbesondere bei kurzen Rohrverbindungsstücken, die kalibriert werden müssen, reicht es im Regelfall nicht aus, das Rohrende per Hand zu halten.In order to perform this step exactly, it is necessary to fix the pipe end securely. In particular, with short pipe fittings that need to be calibrated, it is usually not sufficient to hold the pipe end by hand.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, hier Abhilfe zu schaffen und die Nutzungsmöglichkeit der eingangs genannten Schere zu erweitern.It is an object of the present invention to remedy this situation and to expand the possibility of using the aforementioned scissors.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Schere gelöst, bei der erfindungsgemäß die einander gegenüberliegenden Innenseiten der Griffschenkel zur klemmenden Anlage eines Rohres ausgebildet sind. Vorzugsweise ist zumindest ein Griffschenkel an seiner dem anderen Griffschenkel zugekehrten Seite, d. h. seiner Innenseite, als Zangenbacke zur Halterung eines Rohres ausgebildet oder besitzt ein Anlageelement. Durch diese Griffschenkelausbildung ist es möglich, die Zange zunächst zum Schneiden des Verbundrohres und anschließend zum Halten des abgeschnittenen Verbundrohrteils für beliebige Arbeiten, insbesondere für Kalibrierarbeiten, zu verwenden. Das erfindungsgemäße Schneidwerkzeug kann somit zusätzlich als (Rohr-) Zange verwendet werden. Dies erspart in vielen Fällen das Mitführen oder Suchen einer Rohrzange, um weitere Handhabungen mit dem Rohrende vornehmen zu können.This object is achieved by a pair of scissors, in which, according to the invention, the opposite inner sides of the gripping arms are designed for the clamping engagement of a tube. Preferably, at least one grip leg is on its side facing the other grip leg, d. H. its inside, designed as a jaw for holding a pipe or has a contact element. By this grip leg training, it is possible to use the pliers first for cutting the composite pipe and then to hold the cut composite pipe part for any work, especially for calibration work. The cutting tool according to the invention can thus also be used as a (pipe) pliers. This saves in many cases the carrying or searching a pipe wrench to make further manipulations with the pipe end can.

Bei der Ausgestaltung der Griffschenkelinnenseite als Zangenbacke oder mit einem Anlageelement stehen verschiedene Möglichkeiten zur Verfügung. Zunächst einmal kann der Teil der Griffschenkelinnenseite, der als Zangenbacke oder Anlageelement dienen soll, aus flexiblem, vorzugsweise elastischem Material bestehen. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass beim Halten eines Verbundrohrendes zwischen zwei Griffschenkeln der Schere eine Beschädigung des zu haltenden Rohres durch Verformung oder Einkerbung ausgeschlossen ist.In the embodiment of the inside of the grip leg as a jaw or with a contact element, various options are available. First of all, the part of the inside of the grip leg, which is to serve as a jaw or contact element, may consist of a flexible, preferably elastic material. This has the advantage that when holding a composite pipe end between two gripping legs of the scissors, damage to the pipe to be held by deformation or indentation is excluded.

Vorzugsweise können beide Griffschenkelinnenseiten als Zangenbacken ausgebildet sein, insbesondere als maulförmige Zangenbacken mit einer konkaven Oberfläche. Auf diese Weise werden auf beiden Griffschenkelinnenseiten Auflageflächen für ein Verbundrohr gebildet, die eine lagesichere Rohrfixierung gestatten.Preferably, both gripping leg inner sides can be designed as jaws, in particular as jaw-shaped jaws with a concave surface. In this way, support surfaces for a composite pipe are formed on both sides of the handle leg, which allow a position-secure pipe fixation.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, dass an der Griffschenkelinnenseite oder an den Griffschenkeninnenseiten hintereinander mehrere Mulden als Zangenbacken gebildet sind, die unterschiedliche Krümmungsradien aufweisen, so dass Rohre mit kleineren und größeren Durchmessern gleichermaßen sicher fixiert werden können. Eine solche Ausgestaltung ist insbesondere in Verbindung mit einer Zange möglich, die neben einem ersten Schneidmaul zum Durchtrennen eines Verbundrohres mit einem ersten Durchmesser auch ein zweites Schneidmaul zum Durchtrennen eines Hohlrohres mit einem deutlich unterschiedlichen Durchmesser aufweist. Entsprechend den aufnehmbaren Durchmesserbereichen in den unterschiedlichen Schneidmaulabschnitten kann dann anschließend das abgetrennte oder abgelängte Verbundrohr an der passenden von mehreren maulförmigen Zangenbacken fixiert werden.Another possibility is that several troughs are formed as jaws on the inside of the grip leg or on the inside of the handle leg, which have different radii of curvature, so that tubes with smaller and larger diameters can be securely fixed in the same way. Such a configuration is particularly possible in conjunction with a pair of pliers, which in addition to a first cutting mouth for cutting through a composite pipe having a first diameter and a second cutting mouth for cutting a hollow tube having a significantly different diameter. According to the recordable diameter ranges in the different cutting jaw sections, the separated or cut compound pipe can then be fixed to the appropriate one of a plurality of jaw-shaped jaws.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besitzt mindestens eine Griffschenkelinnenseite ein vorstehendes elastisches Anlageelement, das als Dämpfungspuffer ausgebildet ist. Beim Schneiden eines Rohres muss ein zuweilen recht großer Schneiddruck auf die beiden Griffe ausgeübt werden. Mit der Beendigung des Schnittes durch das Verbundrohr kann dieser Druck bzw. kann diese Kraft nicht sofort entsprechend minimiert werden, so dass die Gefahr besteht, dass die Griffschenkelinnenseite hart aneinander schlagen. Der Dämpfungspuffer fängt diesen Schlag ab bzw. lässt unter Umständen den Schneidvorgang in kontrollierter Weise abschließen. Solche Dämpfungspuffer können an einer Griffschenkelinnenseite lösbar befestigt sein, beispielsweise über ein Schraubgewinde mit einem Schraubenkopf, über den ein elastischer Puffer gezogen ist. Solche Dämpfungspuffer haben den Vorteil, nach Verschleiß auswechselbar zu sein.According to a further embodiment of the invention, at least one grip leg inside has a projecting elastic contact element, which is designed as a damping buffer. When cutting a pipe, sometimes quite large cutting pressure must be exerted on the two handles. With the completion of the cut through the composite pipe, this pressure or this force can not be immediately minimized accordingly, so that there is a risk that the grip side inside hard hit each other. The damping buffer absorbs this shock or can possibly complete the cutting process in a controlled manner. Such damping buffers may be releasably secured to a handle leg inner side, for example via a screw thread with a screw head, over which an elastic buffer is pulled. Such damping buffers have the advantage of being replaceable after wear.

Im Allgemeinen ist jedoch der Verschleiß der Dämpfungsmaterialien gering bzw. auf die Gesamtlebensdauer einer Schere beschränkt, so dass der Dämpfungspuffer als Anlageelement ausgeformt werden kann. Um die Zange vollständig zu schließen bzw. um den Schneidvorgang abzuschließen, müssen in diesem Fall die beiden Griffe gegen die elastische Rückstellkraft der Dämpfungspuffer, die gleichzeitig Anlageelemente sind, aufeinander zugeführt werden.In general, however, the wear of the damping materials is low or limited to the total life of a pair of scissors, so that the damping buffer can be formed as a contact element. In order to close the pliers completely or to complete the cutting process, in this case, the two must Handles against the elastic restoring force of the damping buffer, which are simultaneously conditioning elements, are supplied to each other.

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es schließlich auch möglich, die Zangenbacken oder Anlageelemente an einer oder beiden Griffschenkelinnenseiten mit einer vorzugsweise elastischen, aber nicht glatten, d. h. aufgerauten Oberfläche zu versehen, die einen erhöhten Reibungswiderstand für die zu haltenden Verbundrohre besitzt. Eine solche Maßnahme verhindert ein Abrutschen der Verbundrohre während eines nachfolgenden Arbeitsgangs wie zum Beispiel des Kalibrierens.In the context of the present invention, it is finally also possible, the jaws or contact elements on one or both sides of the handle legs with a preferably elastic, but not smooth, d. H. roughened surface, which has an increased frictional resistance for the composite pipes to be held. Such a measure prevents slippage of the composite pipes during a subsequent operation such as calibration.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings.

Fig. 1 bis 3 zeigen jeweils Ansichten unterschiedlicher Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung. Fig. 1 to 3 each show views of different embodiments of the invention.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Schere besitzt zwei Griffschenkel 10, 11 sowie ein Schneidmaul 12. Die beiden Griffschenkel 10, 11 sind jeweils Teil eines zweiarmigen Hebels, bei dem der Griffschenkel 11 mit einer Schneidbacke 121 verbunden ist, die ein auswechselbares Schneidmesser 122 trägt. Auf der anderen Seite des Schneidmauls ist als Verlängerung des Griffhebels 10 ein Auflagearm 123 mit einem austauschbaren Auflager verbunden, das aus zwei parallelen Stützblechen besteht, die im Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind und einen Schlitz bilden, durch den das Messer 122 geführt werden kann. Nicht dargestellt sind solche Ausführungsformen, die zwei Schneidmäuler besitzen.In the Fig. 1 shown scissors has two gripping arms 10, 11 and a cutting jaw 12. The two gripping arms 10, 11 are each part of a two-armed lever, wherein the gripping leg 11 is connected to a cutting jaw 121, which carries an interchangeable cutting knife 122. On the other side of the cutting jaw is connected as an extension of the handle lever 10, a support arm 123 with a replaceable support, which consists of two parallel support plates, which are spaced from each other and form a slot through which the knife 122 can be performed. Not shown are those embodiments that have two Schneidmäuler.

Die beiden Hebel, die durch den Griffschenkel 10 und das Auflager 123 einerseits sowie den Griffschenkel 11 sowie die Messerbacke 121 andererseits gebildet werden, sind über eine Schraube 13, die gleichzeitig den Drehpunkt darstellt, miteinander verbunden.The two levers, which are formed by the gripping limb 10 and the support 123 on the one hand, and the gripping limb 11 and the knife jaw 121, on the other hand, are connected to one another via a screw 13, which simultaneously represents the fulcrum.

Erfindungsgemäß ist an zumindest einer Griffschenkelinnenseite eine Zangenbacke zur Halterung eines Verbundrohres ausgebildet. In der dargestellten Zangenversion besitzen die Innenseite der Griffschenkel 10 und 11 jeweils Zangenbacken 14 bis 21, wobei die sich gegenüberliegenden Zangenbacken 14 und 18, 15 und 19, 16 und 20 sowie 17 und 21 jeweils gleiche Krümmungsradien der jeweiligen Mulde aufweisen. Die Radien nebeneinander liegender Zangenbacken, 14, 18; 15, 19; 16, 20 und 17, 21 sind unterschiedlich groß.According to the invention, a forceps jaw for holding a composite tube is formed on at least one grip side inside. In the illustrated clamp version For example, the inside of the gripping legs 10 and 11 each have pliers jaws 14 to 21, the opposing pliers jaws 14 and 18, 15 and 19, 16 and 20 and 17 and 21 each having the same radii of curvature of the respective tray. The radii of adjacent jaws, 14, 18; 15, 19; 16, 20 and 17, 21 are different sizes.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 2 besitzen die Innenseiten der Griffschenkel 10 und 11 Anlageelemente 22, 23 und 24, 25, die aus einem elastischen Material bestehen. Die Anlageelemente 22 und 23 einerseits sowie 24 und 25 andererseits sind auf den Griffseiten so angeordnet, dass sie sich gegenüberliegen. Die Anlageelemente sind mit den Griffschenkeln 10 und 11 fest verbunden, was praktisch dadurch bewerkstelligt werden kann, dass die elastischen Elemente in vorhandene Ausnehmungen an der Innenseite der Griffschenkel 10 und 11 eingeklemmt sind. Die Anlageelemente 22 bis 25 besitzen jeweils ebene oder leicht konkav gewölbte Flächen 221, 231, 241 und 251, an die ein Rohr angelegt und durch manuellen Druck auf die Griffschenkel 10 und 11 so fixiert werden kann, dass Nachbehandlungen von Rohren, insbesondere kurzen Rohrstücken, wie Kalibrierarbeiten etc. sicher durchgeführt werden können. Im vorliegenden Fall sind die Anlageelemente 22, 23 sowie 24, 25 derart dargestellt, dass sie sich bei geschlossener Zange im Abstand gegenüberliegen, wobei der dargestellte Abstand der Anlageelemente 22 und 23 oder 24 und 25 kleiner ist als der kleinste Durchmesser der zu behandelnden Rohre. Alternativ hierzu ist es ebenso möglich, die Anlageelemente 22, 23 und 24, 25 so auszubilden und anzuordnen, dass die Anlageflächen 221 und 231 einerseits sowie 241 und 251 andererseits im geschlossenen Zustand der Schere berührend aneinander liegen. Je nach Elastizitätsmodul der Anlageelemente können dann die Anlageelemente 22, 23 zusätzlich beim Schneiden als Dämpfungspuffer dienen.In the embodiment according to Fig. 2 have the inner sides of the gripping arms 10 and 11 contact elements 22, 23 and 24, 25, which consist of an elastic material. The abutment elements 22 and 23, on the one hand, and 24 and 25, on the other hand, are arranged on the grip sides in such a way that they lie opposite one another. The abutment elements are fixedly connected to the grip legs 10 and 11, which can be practically accomplished by virtue of the elastic elements being clamped in existing recesses on the inside of the grip legs 10 and 11. The abutment elements 22 to 25 each have flat or slightly concave surfaces 221, 231, 241 and 251, to which a tube can be applied and fixed by manual pressure on the grip legs 10 and 11 so that after-treatment of pipes, especially short pieces of pipe, how calibration work, etc. can be carried out safely. In the present case, the abutment elements 22, 23 and 24, 25 are shown in such a way that they are spaced apart with the forceps closed, the distance shown between the abutment elements 22 and 23 or 24 and 25 being smaller than the smallest diameter of the tubes to be treated. Alternatively, it is also possible, the contact elements 22, 23 and 24, 25 form and arrange so that the contact surfaces 221 and 231 on the one hand and 241 and 251 on the other hand in the closed state of the scissors are touching each other. Depending on the modulus of elasticity of the abutment elements, the abutment elements 22, 23 can additionally serve as a buffer during cutting.

Die Ausführungsform nach Fig. 3 ist prinzipiell ähnlich aufgebaut wie die vorbeschriebene Ausführungsform nach Fig. 2. Unterschiede bestehen insofern, da die Anlageelemente 26, 27, 28 und 29 jeweils elastische Ringelemente sind, die über den Griffschenkel 10 bzw. 11 geschoben sind. Die Innendurchmesser der jeweiligen Ringelemente wird so gewählt, dass aufgrund der Elastizität der Anlageelemente 26 bis 29 eine sichere Fixierung auf den Griffschenkeln gewährleistet ist. Der Vorteil der Anlageelemente 26 bis 29 besteht darin, dass die Anlageelemente noch an den Griffschenkeln 10 und 11 längsaxial verschoben werden können, was insbesondere dann in Betracht kommt, wenn Anlageelemente 26 bis 29 mit konkaven Innenflächen verwendet werden, die je nach Krümmungsradius für einen Rohrdurchmesser optimal ausgeformt sind. In diesem Fall besteht die Möglichkeit, beispielsweise die Anlageelemente 28, 29 in Richtung zum freien Ende der Griffschenkel 10, 11 zu verschieben, so dass die für eine Rohrfixierung optimale Lage in Bezug auf den Drehpunkt gewählt werden kann. Ringförmige elastische Anlageelemente 26 bis 29 sind zudem leicht austauschbar und können gegebenenfalls bei nach dem Stand der Technik bekannten Scheren nachgerüstet werden.The embodiment according to Fig. 3 is basically similar to the embodiment described above Fig. 2 , Differences exist insofar as the abutment elements 26, 27, 28 and 29 are each elastic ring elements, which are pushed over the gripping arms 10 and 11, respectively. The inner diameter of the respective ring elements is chosen so that due to the elasticity of the contact elements 26th to 29 a secure fixation on the grip legs is guaranteed. The advantage of the abutment elements 26 to 29 is that the abutment elements can still be displaced longitudinally axially on the gripping arms 10 and 11, which is particularly suitable when abutment elements 26 to 29 with concave inner surfaces are used, depending on the radius of curvature for a tube diameter are optimally shaped. In this case, it is possible, for example, the contact elements 28, 29 to move in the direction of the free end of the gripping arms 10, 11, so that the optimum position for a pipe fixation with respect to the pivot point can be selected. Ring-shaped elastic abutment elements 26 to 29 are also easily replaceable and can optionally be retrofitted with known in the prior art scissors.

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung sind Variationen folgender Art möglich:Variations of the following type are possible within the scope of the present invention:

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1 können die jeweiligen Zangenmäuler 14, 18; 15, 19; 16, 20 und 17, 21 aus einem duroplastischen Material bestehen, das inflexibel ist. Um die reibschlüssige Anlage eines eingelegten Rohres zu optimieren, können die genannten Zangenmäuler an der Oberfläche geriffelte Strukturen oder ähnliches aufweisen, was insbesondere bei Verbundrohren günstig ist.In the embodiment according to Fig. 1 the respective forceps mouths 14, 18; 15, 19; 16, 20 and 17, 21 are made of a thermosetting material that is inflexible. In order to optimize the frictional engagement of an inserted tube, said forceps jaws may have corrugated structures or the like on the surface, which is advantageous in particular in composite tubes.

Ebenso besteht die Möglichkeit die Innenseite der Griffschenkel 10, 11 mit zangenmaulartigen Ausbildungen zu versehen, die aus elastischem Material bestehen.It is also possible to provide the inside of the gripping arms 10, 11 with forceps-like formations, which consist of elastic material.

Grundsätzlich ist es auch möglich, nur eine Innenseite der beiden Innenseiten mit konkaven Ausnehmungen 18 bis 21 zu versehen und die gegenüberliegende Innenseite ohne Ausnehmung zu gestalten oder mit ebenen Anlageelementen 22, 24. Auch wenn bei konkaven Anlageflächen der ausgebildeten Griffmäuler gegenüberliegende Flächenabschnitte vorzugsweise denselben Krümmungsradius besitzen, sind im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung auch solche Ausführungen möglich, bei denen die Radien gegenüberliegender gekrümmter Flächen (z. B. 14 und 18, 15 und 19, 16 und 20 oder 17 und 21) unterschiedlich zu gestalten.In principle, it is also possible to provide only one inner side of the two inner sides with concave recesses 18 to 21 and to design the opposite inner side without a recess or with planar abutment elements 22, 24. Even if concave abutment surfaces of the formed gripping mouths opposite surface sections preferably have the same radius of curvature In the context of the present invention, embodiments are also possible in which the radii of opposite curved surfaces (eg 14 and 18, 15 and 19, 16 and 20 or 17 and 21) are designed differently.

Die erfindungsgemäße Schere lässt sich in beliebiger Weise variieren, indem die Zangenbacken durch geometrische oder durch die Wahl des Materials oder beides optimierbar sind. Im einfachsten Fall könnte beispielsweise auf eine Griffschenkelinnenseite zwei voneinander beabstandete Dämpfungspuffer befestigt sein, zwischen denen das Verbundrohr eingelegt werden kann, so dass durch diese Dämpfungspuffer in Verbindung mit der Innenseite des anderen Griffschenkels beim Schließen der Zange ein Zangenmaul zur sicheren Haltung gebildet wird.The scissors according to the invention can be varied in any way by the jaws can be optimized by geometric or by the choice of material or both. In the simplest case, for example, could be attached to a Griffschenkelinnenseite two spaced damping buffer, between which the composite tube can be inserted so that a pliers mouth is formed for safe attitude by this damping buffer in conjunction with the inside of the other grip leg when closing the pliers.
