Definitions

  • the invention relates to a disassembly tool for glow plugs of an internal combustion engine, wherein the glow plugs are formed in the usual manner and have a polygonal or hexagonal attack section, which serves both for screwing and for turning out and also for pulling out can be used. Under this attack section, a support portion is provided, which is thinner or tapered.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an aforementioned disassembly tool for glow plugs of an internal combustion engine, can be solved with the problems of the prior art and in particular it is possible to both unscrew a glow plug at its attacking section and after unscrewing from the thread of the engine easy and safe to take off.
  • the disassembly tool has an outer gripping sleeve and an inner retaining sleeve, wherein the retaining sleeve is arranged in the gripping sleeve.
  • Both sleeves have a sleeve opening, advantageously directly successive or behind each other, namely the gripping sleeve a gripping sleeve opening and the holding sleeve a holding sleeve opening.
  • the two Sleeve openings are aligned with each other. In addition, they both have a cross section which can be guided over the engagement portion of the glow plug.
  • the outer gripping sleeve is longer than the holding sleeve or its gripping sleeve opening is in front of the holding sleeve opening, so that the gripping sleeve with the gripping sleeve opening can be performed on the glow plug or its attack section.
  • the gripping sleeve opening has a cross-section, in which on the one hand the engagement portion of the glow plug can be inserted when the two sleeves are in a first rotational position to each other, in which both sleeve openings can overlap the attack section and in particular are aligned.
  • the engagement portion of the glow plug is located substantially within the holding sleeve opening, while the gripping sleeve opening is already performed over the attack portion away and sitting at the level of the opposite the attack portion in cross section reduced thinner support portion. Then, the two sleeves can be rotated to each other or in the twisted rotational position of the two sleeves, the gripping sleeve opening is below the attacking portion of the glow plug and rests with an upper sleeve opening edge with at least two points of attack on the underside of the attack section. By means of these at least two points of attack then a tensile force can be applied to the disassembly tool and thus the glow plug in order to pull the glow plug out of the internal combustion engine even when stuck.
  • the advantage of the invention is that there is a stable and secure positive connection between the dismantling tool and the glow plug or attack section, which is not in danger of the projections at the end of the arms from the underside of the engagement section slip off.
  • the gripping sleeve opening and the holding sleeve opening may have the same cross-section or have the same shape. Furthermore, both are advantageously cylindrical.
  • the holding sleeve opening may be longer than the gripping sleeve opening, for example by a factor of 2 to 5, preferably 3 to 4.
  • the cross section of the gripping sleeve opening can correspond to the cross section of the engagement portion of the glow plug. If the engaging portion of the glow plug is polygonal or hexagonal, this is the gripping sleeve opening as well.
  • the gripping sleeve opening is slightly larger, so that the engaging portion can be easily and without difficulty passed through the gripping sleeve opening. It can be between 1% and 10% larger. But it is also possible that the cross section of the gripping sleeve opening is such that the engaging portion passes through in a rotational position and in a slightly rotated rotational position no longer, for example, when rotated by 20 ° to 90 °, preferably about 30 ° to each other become.
  • a square or square cross section of the gripping sleeve opening can fit over a hexagonal engagement section and at Slight twisting under this grab. Recognizable is the connection but not very good. It is also possible, for example, in a hexagonal attack section and a triangular cross-section of the gripping sleeve opening, in which fits the hexagonal. After twisting the two parts by about 60 ° then grips the gripping sleeve opening with its upper sleeve opening edge after all, at three points under the hexagonal attack section for undressing. Obviously, however, an optimum is achieved when just the cross section of the gripping sleeve opening is polygonal or exactly hexagonal corresponding to that of the attack portion.
  • the retaining sleeve can be rotated in the gripping sleeve.
  • An axis of rotation extends through the sleeve openings and along their longitudinal direction.
  • a rotation angle of the two parts to each other may be limited by a rotation angle stop. It can advantageously be a maximum of 60 °, particularly advantageously a maximum of 30 °. This limited angle of rotation should be such that at maximum rotation, so against the stop, the upper sleeve opening edge of the gripping sleeve opening is a maximum of well below the attack section for pulling the glow plug kraftbeetzschlagten.
  • a length of the gripping sleeve opening should not be too short, so that sufficient mechanical stability is provided for pulling out the glow plug from the internal combustion engine.
  • An advantageous length is seen in the range between 2 mm and 5 mm, particularly advantageously between 3 mm and 4 mm.
  • the wall thickness of the gripping sleeve opening should not be too large, otherwise a good work is no longer possible in a confined space near the attack section of the glow plug.
  • the wall thickness of the retaining sleeve can be relatively small and 0.5 mm to 3 mm, advantageously about 1 mm.
  • the wall thickness of the gripping sleeve should be more than 1 mm in the lower area around the gripping sleeve opening, since it is significantly more force-loaded.
  • the length of the holding sleeve opening or its inner contour with the cross section, which is adapted to the engagement portion may have a limited length.
  • this length is limited so that it forms a kind of stop for the attack section of the glow plug above.
  • the disassembly tool can be designed so that it can be plugged so far onto the engaging portion of the glow plug, that this is completely in the holding sleeve opening with the corresponding cross-section and then abuts on a cross-sectional taper, so to speak.
  • the gripping sleeve opening with its wide inner edge or the contour provided therein with matched to the cross section of the attack section cross-section below this attack section, and advantageously at the height of the aforementioned support section, which is indeed thinner.
  • the dismantling tool can be easily placed with aligned sleeve openings on the engaging portion of the glow plug, then the gripping sleeve is rotated by a certain angle of rotation relative to the retaining sleeve, said rotation angle can be just limited and should.
  • the upper sleeve opening edge is below the attacking portion. Now the glow plug can be pulled out by means of the dismantling tool.
  • an inner contour accessible from the upper end is provided in the retaining sleeve.
  • the inner contour is provided near the upper end of the retaining sleeve or on the distal end of the retaining sleeve opening of the retaining sleeve. It may be formed as a square or hexagon socket and should allow the insertion of a plug-in tool, with which the holding sleeve and thus the removal tool can be rotated. In this way, a glow plug with the dismantling tool can be unscrewed from its thread without the need for a separate tool. If the glow plug can not easily be pulled out in the event of a problem, the removal tool for the special pull-out function is already in place.
  • a locking screw is screwed into the upper end of the gripping sleeve. It can be applied in the axial direction against a protruding into an internal thread for this locking screw in the gripping sleeve upper portion of the retaining sleeve.
  • the screwing movement or the direction of rotation of the screw can be such that the locking screw attempts to rotate the retaining sleeve in the gripping sleeve in the direction of the rotational position by this end-side abutment on the retaining sleeve.
  • the locking screw counteracts, so to speak, the retaining sleeve relative to the gripping sleeve in the state when the gripping sleeve opening lies with its wide edge under the engagement portion for pulling out the glow plug.
  • the said rotational position does not have to be held manually extra effort, but can be locked by an example, one-time revolution of the locking screw.
  • the locking screw can do a large diameter and, for example, be as large as the gripping sleeve that dominates them. Both may be roughened in the outer area, have a knurling or be polygonal. So easy manual locking by twisting the two parts against each other is possible.
  • a tool engagement adapter can be screwed into the locking screw at the top.
  • a tensile force to pull out the glow plug can be easily mounted, for example, an impact weight, ie a heavy metal weight that runs on an approximately 10 cm long rod with end stop.
  • impact weights are known from the prior art.
  • Fig. 1 is in left side view from the side and from below, right next to it in sectional view AA and right next to it in an oblique view an inventive disassembly tool 11 is shown.
  • the reproduction scale selected here can be considered to be approximately twice as large as in reality, ie the removal tool 11 is approximately 5 cm long. This is purely exemplary.
  • the dismantling tool 11 has an outer gripping sleeve 13, at the lower end of a gripping sleeve opening 15 is provided.
  • This gripping sleeve opening 15 has an inner side 16 which, as can be seen in the lower view shown above, has a hexagonal inner contour or a hexagonal cross section.
  • the gripping sleeve opening 15 is bounded above by an upper edge shoulder 17, the overlying interior of the outer gripping sleeve 13 is widened in diameter. Down to the gripping sleeve 13 is slightly tapered together so that it can be used in hard to reach places for removing glow plugs.
  • Their length is precisely determined and defines the rotation angle described above. This will be explained in more detail below. In general, it can only be a single slot without any functional disadvantage.
  • the gripping sleeve 13 has an internal thread 21.
  • An outer side 23 is provided in a wide area, as can be seen on the left in the outside view. For better gripping this outer side is knurled 23, but can also be designed in other ways for a good manual gripping. This can also be very good from the Fig. 2 be seen.
  • In the Fig. 1 are the hexagonal contours of the gripping sleeve opening 15 and the holding sleeve opening 27 twisted to each other, by 30 °. Therefore, they are not cursing and show different views in the sectional view.
  • the retaining sleeve opening is bounded to the top of a heel 29.
  • the retaining sleeve 25 has a transverse threaded bore 31 into which a grub screw 32 is screwed.
  • the threaded hole 31 can generally also be present only on one side.
  • the grub screw 32 is located with most of its over the holding sleeve 25 protruding part within one of the slots 19 of the gripping sleeve 13.
  • the holding sleeve 25 has a réellevierkant 33 as the aforementioned inner contour.
  • this inner square 33 can be inserted from above a corresponding square tool.
  • This inner contour could also be hexagonal.
  • the disassembly tool 11 is ready for use. It can be placed on a to be dismantled glow plug 41 and its engaging portion 42, as shown in the Fig. 1 shown below.
  • the glow plug 41 has at the top the engaging portion 42, which has a hexagonal cross-section and a certain height, but which is slightly below the height of the holding sleeve opening 27.
  • Below the engaging portion 42 is a tapered support portion 44 having reduced cross-section.
  • the disassembled tool placed on it is rotated by means of the aforementioned square-tool inserted in the inner square 33, wherein the inner retaining sleeve 25, the glow plug 41 on the engaging portion 42 of the thread on the motor rotates. Either the glow plug 41 can then be easily pulled out, for example by the outer gripping sleeve 13 is slightly twisted. Or the glow plug 41 is verkokelt on projecting into the engine area and does not easily pass through the threaded opening.
  • the outer gripping sleeve 13 is slightly rotated, namely by the aforementioned 30 °, so that the upper edge paragraph 17 of the gripping sleeve opening 15 is below a lower edge 43 of the engaging portion 42.
  • the upper edge shoulder 17, so to speak abuts against the six corners of the engagement section 42 from below at the lower edge 43.
  • the contact surface is not particularly large in every single case, the total of six contact points or contact areas result overall in a good power installation for the glow plug 41 by means of the dismantling tool 11 to pull out of the engine. This extraction can be tried manually in the first approach.
  • a locking screw 34 is screwed from above into the internal thread 21 of the gripping sleeve 13. This can be done manually, since the locking screw 34 has the same knurling on an outer edge 35 as the outer side 23 of the upper part of the gripping sleeve 13.
  • the locking screw 34 is in the Fig. 4 shown in different views. It has an internal thread 36, which will be discussed below.
  • a tool adapter 38 is then screwed in, we from the Fig. 1 can be seen and in the Fig. 5 is shown alone in different views.
  • the tool adapter 38 has a threaded projection 39 projecting upwards.
  • an aforementioned impact weight for releasing and pulling out the glow plug.
  • the corresponding threaded projection 39 could also already be provided integrally and in one piece or in one piece on the locking screw 34. With the impact weight, the glow plug 41 can then be removed from the engine, being gripped thereby by means of the dismantling tool 11.
