Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a workpiece carrier comprising at least two component elements, which are each composed of a carbon fiber reinforced carbon (CFC).
  • CFC carbon fiber reinforced carbon
  • CFC workpiece carriers are used to support or hold workpieces in high temperature environments.
  • charging racks are used as a carrier, wherein the heat treatment to be subjected to workpieces are placed on a support surface of the charging frame in the simplest case.
  • workpiece carriers made of CFC are characterized in particular by increased temperature resistance and better dimensional stability.
  • the assembly of a workpiece carrier of a plurality of component elements is advantageous in terms of manufacturing costs and flexibility. In particular, this makes it possible to build complex frames, which are tuned to the respective workpiece type and quantity.
  • the individual component elements can be plugged together, for example by means of frictional connection elements.
  • a workpiece carrier for hardened material which is composed of four frame-like assembled CFC strips is, for example, in DE 295 12 569 U1 disclosed.
  • At least two of the at least two CFC component elements are locked together.
  • a latch engage at least two corresponding locking teeth form fit into each other and hold the two CFC component elements in a defined detent position, but under force overcoming the positive connection is possible in at least one direction. That is, when mating and possibly when pulling apart the component elements mentioned gear elements can slide past each other.
  • a snap connection or click connection reaching the detent position is often audible and / or tactile perceptible (“clicking" or "snapping").
  • the two CFC components are therefore not only plugged together and thereby frictionally connected, but there is also a positive connection due to the latching, which increases the stability of the overall component and prevents unwanted loosening or loosening of the individual components.
  • An elaborate gluing is not required here. Due to the increase in the load-bearing capacity of the connection caused by the positive connection, material can be saved in the design of the component elements, as a result of which the production costs decrease.
  • the latching of the at least two CFC component elements can preferably be achieved by overcoming a latching resistor.
  • the workpiece carrier can then be easily disassembled if necessary.
  • the force to be exerted on one of the two CFC component elements to overcome the detent resistance is at least 10 N.
  • An adapted detent resistance on the one hand ensures sufficiently high security against unintentional release of the detent connection and on the other hand facilitates easy assembly and disassembly of the workpiece carrier , If a subsequent dismantling of the workpiece carrier is not considered, the detent resistance can also so be interpreted large that a non-destructive release of the locking is practically impossible.
  • the workpiece carrier can also comprise at least three CFC component elements, wherein each of the at least three CFC component elements is latched with at least one further of the at least three CFC component elements.
  • a workpiece carrier may comprise two CFC component elements designed as longitudinal members, which are arranged parallel to one another and overlapped by at least one CFC component element designed as a cross member, the cross member being latched at each end to one of the longitudinal members. In this way, in particular the construction of a rust- or lattice-like workpiece carrier is possible, which is suitable for supporting a plurality of different workpieces.
  • a bearing surface for a workpiece can be formed on at least one of the at least two CFC component elements and preferably on each of the at least two CFC component elements.
  • special fixing elements such as recesses or stirrups, to be provided on the CFC component elements that overlap the workpiece to be held.
  • a locking projection may be provided on at least one of the at least two CFC component elements latched to each other, which latching projection is provided in a CFC component element locked to another of the at least two mutually latched components Locking engagement engages.
  • the latching protrusion may be any area of material that protrudes from a base surface of the CFC component element, such as a flat wall. Depending on the application, such a locking projection may be tooth-shaped, hump-like or nose-shaped.
  • the latching projection is configured in the manner of a ramp in order to provide a ramp for easier latching.
  • the latching projection could be designed as a separate component element. However, it is preferred if the latching projection is formed directly on the associated CFC component element.
  • the latching projection by a distance between 0.05 mm and 1.5 mm, preferably between 0.1 mm and 0.7 mm and particularly preferably between 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm relative to the base surface of associated CFC component element protrudes.
  • Such distances have proved to be particularly favorable in that on the one hand a secure locking connection is ensured and on the other hand, a slight engagement or clicking one CFC component element in the other CFC component element is possible.
  • both a latching projection and a latching receptacle are provided on each of the at least two mutually latched CFC component elements, the latching projections and the latching receptacles of two mutually latched CFC component elements being mutually engaged.
  • the at least two CFC component elements can be plugged together for latching along an insertion direction, wherein the latching projection and the latching receptacle of each of the at least two CFC component elements are arranged one behind the other with respect to the insertion direction.
  • the latching projection of one CFC component element thus automatically enters the latching receptacle of the other CFC component element and vice versa, so that a particularly simple latching is possible.
  • At least one of the at least two interlocked CFC component elements may have a groove for receiving a male portion of the respective other CFC component element, wherein the latching projection projects from a side wall of the groove.
  • the male portion may be any portion of the respective CFC component member whose width is matched to the width of the groove.
  • the groove then serves as a guide for the CFC component element to be inserted and on the other hand provides the locking projection serving for latching.
  • the at least two mutually locked CFC component elements are plate-like and each have at least one groove, wherein the grooves mutually engage.
  • Such CFC component elements are relatively easy to produce and are particularly suitable for the construction of grid-like charging racks.
  • the groove may in particular have a rectangular cross-section. This allows a particularly simple production.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that at least one of the at least two interconnected CFC component elements, and preferably each of the at least two interconnected CFC component elements, has at least three spaced-apart grooves for receiving an insertion portion of another CFC component element.
  • the grooves may have a rounded cross section, wherein the radius of curvature of the rounding is at least 0.1 mm and preferably at least 0.3 mm.
  • At least one side wall of the groove may be formed a ramp-like locking projection and an adjacent thereto groove.
  • the groove facilitates the snapping or clicking the locking projection into the associated locking receptacle.
  • the at least two CFC component elements are each composed of a carbon fiber-reinforced carbon which comprises carbonized and / or graphitized polyacrylonitrile fibers. With such fibers particularly good results were achieved.
  • the at least two CFC component elements are each composed of a carbon reinforced with carbon fibers, carbon fibers and / or drawn fibers.
  • the at least two CFC component elements are each composed of a carbon fiber reinforced carbon comprising carbon fibers having an average diameter of between 5 ⁇ m and 10 ⁇ m.
  • a particularly favorable value has been found to be an average diameter of the carbon fibers of about 7 ⁇ m.
  • the at least two CFC component elements are each composed of a carbon fiber-reinforced carbon which is at least 30% by volume, preferably at least 50% by volume and more preferably at least 70 vol .-% of carbon fibers.
  • the at least two CFC component elements have a temperature resistance of at least 1,500 ° C., and preferably of at least 2,500 ° C.
  • the workpiece carrier can be composed exclusively of, preferably identical, CFC component elements. This allows a particularly cost-effective production.
  • the workpiece carrier has a size (BxLxH) of at least 50 mm ⁇ 50 mm ⁇ 10 mm, preferably of at least 100 mm ⁇ 100 mm ⁇ 10 mm and particularly preferably of at least 300 mm ⁇ 300 mm ⁇ 20 mm, for example of 1200 mm x 1,200 mm x 50 mm, on.
  • Workpiece carrier of this Size are commonly used as charging racks when curing or sintering components.
  • Another object of the present invention is the use of a previously described workpiece carrier as a charging rack in a high temperature environment.
  • plate-shaped component member 11 is made entirely of a carbon fiber reinforced carbon (CFC) and is used to construct a workpiece carrier such as a Chargiergestells.
  • CFC carbon fiber reinforced carbon
  • the carbon fiber reinforced carbon comprises carbonized and / or graphitized polyacrylonitrile continuous filaments embedded in a matrix of carbon in a proportion of at least 80% by volume.
  • the fibers have an average diameter of about 7 microns.
  • the CFC component element 11 is configured in the form of an elongate strip and has a longitudinal axis L.
  • Four grooves 13 of rectangular cross-section are formed along the longitudinal axis L spaced apart in the CFC component element 11.
  • the width B of each groove corresponds to that in the Fig. 1 not apparent thickness of the plate-shaped CFC component element 11.
  • the CFC component element 11 has four rectangular recesses 15, which are each adjacent to a groove 13 and whose width corresponds to the width B of the grooves 13.
  • each groove 13 has two opposing side walls 17, wherein in each of the side walls 17 are two mutually parallel and transverse to the longitudinal axis L spaced apart grooves 19 are formed. Between the two grooves 19 of a side wall 17 is in each case a slightly rounded Rastbuckel 20, which protrudes relative to the surface of the side wall 17 by about 0.35 mm.
  • the recesses 15 and the Rastbuckel 20 can each two according to the Fig. 1 designed CFC component elements 11 are locked together, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • the two CFC component elements 11 to be joined are initially arranged in a fundamentally known manner such that their longitudinal axes L run at right angles to one another and an upper-side groove 13 of one CFC component element 11 opposes a lower-side groove 13 of the other CFC component element 11.
  • the two CFC component elements 11 are then brought together along an insertion direction E pointing transversely to the two longitudinal axes L, wherein the grooves 13 mutually intermesh.
  • the locking resistance can be adjusted relatively accurately to an application-related default value.
  • three or more CFC component elements 11 can be easily frame or lattice-like workpiece carrier in the manner described, in which the narrow sides 23 of the CFC component elements 11 form respective bearing surfaces 25 for workpieces.
  • Such workpiece carriers are particularly suitable as charging racks in hardening or sintering furnaces. The fact that the associated component elements 11 are made exclusively of CFC, a sufficient temperature resistance and dimensional stability is guaranteed.
  • Assembling a workpiece carrier by latching the CFC component elements 11 is simple and requires no special knowledge. It can therefore also be performed by a respective end customer, while the manufacturer of the workpiece carrier provides only a set of CFC component elements 11 for individual mating as a kit.
  • a particular advantage of the illustrated system is that there are no undercuts, which require the consideration of different plug-in directions and the maintenance of a particular order during assembly during assembly. There are also no gluing or separate fasteners such as pins or pins necessary because the stability of the CFC component assembly is ensured by the latches.
  • Fig. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of a CFC component element 11 according to the invention, wherein instead of a Rastbuckels here a locking lug 27 is provided with a ramp portion 29 and a shoulder 31.
  • the approach shoulder 31 is followed by a single groove 19.
  • the ramp portion 29 of the locking lug 27 forms a ramp for the insertion portion 21 of the other CFC component element 11, thus facilitating the mating of the two CFC component elements 11.
  • the shoulder 31 provides for this in comparison to the embodiment according to the Fig. 1 and 2 increased locking resistance.
  • FIG. 4 Another embodiment of the invention is in Fig. 4 shown.
  • a detent 27 is provided, but no groove in the side wall 17 of the groove 13 is formed.
  • the shoulder 31 runs here rather in a rounding 33.
  • the distance A by which the latching nose 27 protrudes from the side wall 17, highlighted by dashed lines.
  • the latch Compared to a purely frictional nesting of the CFC component elements 11, the latch not only allows greater stability, but also a simplified assembly.
