Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Werkzeugkoffer zur Lagerung, zur Reinigung und zum Transport mindestens eines Matrizensegments einer Matrizenscheibe einer Rundläufertablettenpresse.The invention relates to a tool case for the storage, cleaning and transport of at least one die segment of a die plate of a rotary tablet press.
Rundläufertablettenpressen besitzen einen drehend angetriebenen Rotor, der typischerweise eine Oberstempelaufnahme, eine Unterstempelaufnahme sowie eine Matrizenscheibe umfasst. Die Unterstempelaufnahme nimmt in achsparallelen Bohrungen einzelne Unterstempel auf, die zu Matrizenbohrungen der Matrizenscheibe ausgerichtet sind. Die Oberstempelaufnahme nimmt in achsparallelen Bohrungen Oberstempel auf, die zu den Matrizenbohrungen ebenfalls ausgerichtet sind. Im Zuge des Umlaufs des Rotors wirken die Ober- und Unterstempel mit geeigneten Führungen, beispielsweise Steuerkurven, zusammen und werden durch diese axial in den Ober- bzw. Unterstempelaufnahmen bewegt. Im Bereich einer oder mehrerer Pressstationen, umfassend beispielsweise Druckrollen, werden die Ober- und Unterstempel in den ihnen jeweils zugeordneten Bohrungen der Matrizenscheibe gegeneinander gepresst, wodurch in die Bohrungen gefülltes pulverförmiges Material zu Tabletten verpresst wird.Rotary tablet presses have a rotatably driven rotor, which typically includes an upper punch receptacle, a lower punch receptacle, and a die plate. The lower punch holder receives in paraxial holes on individual lower punch, which are aligned to die holes of the die plate. The upper punch holder receives in axially parallel holes upper punch, which are also aligned to the die holes. In the course of the rotation of the rotor, the upper and lower punches with suitable guides, such as cams, together and are moved by this axially in the upper or lower punch recordings. In the area of one or more pressing stations, comprising, for example, pressure rollers, the upper and lower punches are pressed against each other in their respective associated bores of the die plate, whereby compressed into the holes powdered material is compressed into tablets.
Aus
Es besteht die Notwendigkeit, insbesondere die jeweils nicht genutzten Matrizensegmente in einfacher Weise zu lagern und gegebenenfalls zu transportieren. Im Stand der Technik erfolgt die Lagerung in fest verbauten Lagerschränken. Ein Transport der Matrizensegmente in diesen Lagerschränken ist naturgemäß nicht möglich. Zu diesem Zweck existieren in der Praxis tragbare Koffer mit einem Schaumstoffeinsatz, in dem eine an die Größe und Form eines bestimmten Matrizensegments angepasste Vertiefung ausgebildet ist. So muss insbesondere bei einem Transport verhindert werden, dass das Matrizensegment beispielsweise durch Anschlagen an Innenflächen eines Transportkoffers beschädigt wird. Darüber hinaus besitzen Matrizensegmente für unterschiedliche Rundläufertablettenpressen häufig eine unterschiedliche Größe und/oder Form. Mit den bekannten Transportkoffern für Matrizensegmente kann jeweils nur ein Matrizensegment einer bestimmten Größe und Form transportiert werden.There is a need to store in particular the respectively unused Matrizensegmente in a simple manner and if necessary to transport. In the prior art, storage takes place in permanently installed storage cabinets. A transport of Matrizensegmente in these storage cabinets is not possible by nature. For this purpose, in practice portable suitcases with a foam insert, in which an adapted to the size and shape of a particular Matrizensegments recess is formed. Thus, in particular during transport, it must be prevented that the die segment is damaged, for example, by impact on inner surfaces of a transport case. In addition, die segments for different rotary tablet presses often have a different size and / or shape. With the known transport cases for Matrizensegmente only one Matrizensegment a certain size and shape can be transported in each case.
Ausgehend von dem erläuterten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Werkzeugkoffer der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, der einen Transport und eine Lagerung von Matrizensegmenten auch unterschiedlicher Größe und/oder Form erlaubt und die Matrizensegmente gleichzeitig vor Beschädigungen schützt.Based on the explained prior art, the present invention seeks to provide a tool case of the type mentioned above, which allows a transport and storage of Matrizen segments also different size and / or shape and protects the die segments simultaneously from damage.
Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand von Anspruch 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen finden sich in den abhängigen Ansprüchen, der Beschreibung und den Figuren.The invention achieves the object by the subject matter of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims, the description and the figures.

Der erfindungsgemäße Werkzeugkoffer besitzt eine Werkzeugkofferschale, die in der Regel ein Unterteil und ein Oberteil aufweist. Das Oberteil kann zwischen einer geöffneten und einer geschlossenen Position gegenüber dem Unterteil bewegbar sein, beispielsweise verschwenkbar sein. Außerdem weist die Werkzeugkofferschale insbesondere einen Haltegriff auf, an dem der Werkzeugkoffer für einen Transport insbesondere einhändig getragen werden kann. Der Klemmschutz kann beispielsweise eine geeignete Fase und Nut umfassen, die ein Einklemmen von Fingern vermeiden. Insbesondere in dem Unterteil der Werkzeugkofferschale ist mindestens ein Segmenteinsatz zum Halten mindestens eines Matrizensegments angeordnet. Wie eingangs erläutert, ist der Grundaufbau einer Rundläufertablettenpresse beispielsweise aus
Erfindungsgemäß sind mehrere Sätze von Begrenzungsmitteln vorgesehen, die wahlweise aktiviert oder deaktiviert werden können. Jeder Satz von Begrenzungsmitteln ist einem bestimmten Matrizensegmenttyp einer bestimmten Größe und/oder Form zugeordnet. Je nach Matrizensegmenttyp wird der zugeordnete Satz von Begrenzungsmitteln aktiviert, wobei der oder die anderen Sätze von Begrenzungsmitteln insbesondere deaktiviert sein können. Die aktivierten Begrenzungsmittel bilden Begrenzungen, insbesondere Begrenzungspunkte, zwischen denen das jeweilige Matrizensegmente derart gehalten ist, dass es nicht in seitlicher Richtung auf dem Segmenteinsatz verschoben werden kann. Es ist auch möglich, dass die Begrenzungsmittel das Matrizensegmente gemeinsam mit einem inneren Rand des Segmenteinsatzes oder der Werkzeugkofferschale verschiebungssicher halten.According to the invention, a plurality of sets of limiting means are provided which can be selectively activated or deactivated. Each set of limiting means is associated with a particular die segment type of a particular size and / or shape. Depending on the matrix segment type, the associated set of limiting means is activated, wherein the one or more other sets of limiting means may be deactivated in particular. The activated limiting means form boundaries, in particular boundary points, between which the respective die segments are held in such a way that they can not be displaced in the lateral direction on the segment insert. It is also possible that the limiting means hold the die segments together with an inner edge of the segment insert or the tool box shell so that they can not be displaced.
Erfindungsgemäß sind insbesondere im geschlossenen Zustand des Werkzeugkoffers eine Lagerung und ein Transport des Matrizensegments ohne die Gefahr einer Beschädigung möglich. Es wird vielmehr sicher in seiner jeweiligen Position gehalten. Gleichzeitig erlauben die Begrenzungsmittel in flexibler Weise das verschiebungssichere Halten unterschiedlicher Matrizensegmente mit nur einem Segmenteinsatz. Soll ein anderer Matrizensegmenttyp auf dem Segmenteinsatz gehalten werden, muss nach Entnahme des zuvor gehaltenen Matrizensegments und Deaktivierung des zuvor aktivierten Satzes von Begrenzungsmitteln lediglich der dem neuen Matrizensegmenttyp zugeordnete Satz von Begrenzungsmitteln aktiviert werden. Anschließend kann das neue Matrizensegmente auf den Segmenteinsatz gelegt werden, wobei dieses Matrizensegment dann wiederum durch die aktivierten Begrenzungsmittel verschiebungssicher gehalten ist.According to the invention, a storage and transport of the die segment without the risk of damage are possible in particular in the closed state of the tool case. It is held rather securely in its respective position. At the same time, the limiting means allow in a flexible manner the shift-safe holding of different die segments with only one segment insert. If another type of die segment is to be held on the segment insert, after removal of the previously held die segment and deactivation of the previously activated set of limiting means, only the set of limiting means associated with the new die segment type must be activated become. Subsequently, the new die segments can be placed on the segment insert, wherein this die segment is then in turn held by the activated limiting means shift.
Es können auch mehrere Matrizensegmente auf einem Segmenteinsatz gehalten werden, sofern ihre Größe dies zulässt. Gegebenenfalls können dann zwei Sätze von Begrenzungsmitteln aktiviert werden, wobei bei zwei gleichen zu haltenden Matrizensegmenten diese zwei Sätze auch identisch ausgebildet sein können.It is also possible to hold several die segments on a segment insert, if their size permits. If appropriate, then two sets of limiting means can be activated, wherein in the case of two identical die segments to be held, these two sets can also be identical.
Auch ist es denkbar, dass in dem Werkzeugkoffer mehrere erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Segmenteinsätze aufgenommen werden können, beispielsweise übereinander gestapelt. Jeder der Segmenteinsätze kann dann ein oder mehrere Matrizensegmente in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise verschiebungssicher halten. Auf dem oder den unteren Segmenteinsätzen gehaltene Matrizensegmente können zwischen dem sie haltenden Segmenteinsatz und der Unterseite des darüber angeordneten Segmenteinsatzes festgehalten sein.It is also conceivable that a plurality of segment inserts designed according to the invention can be accommodated in the tool case, for example stacked one above the other. Each of the segment inserts can then hold one or more die segments in the manner according to the invention so that they can not be displaced. Die segments held on the lower segment insert (s) may be held between the segment insert holding it and the underside of the segment insert disposed above it.
Der erfindungsgemäße Werkzeugkoffer erlaubt ein leichtes Handling von Matrizensegmenten unterschiedlicher Größe und/oder Form. Es wird ein einheitliches Transport- und Lagerungskonzept bereitgestellt. Die Lebenszeit der Matrizensegmente wird durch Vermeidung von Beschädigungen verlängert. Die Matrizensegmente müssen weniger oft zwischen unterschiedlichen Lager- bzw. Transportmitteln umgepackt werden, was den Ablauf weiter erleichtert. Die Matrizensegmente können von einem Bediener in dem erfindungsgemäßen Werkzeugkoffer einhändig getragen werden, wodurch sich ergonomische Vorteile und eine Verringerung der gesundheitlichen Belastung ergeben. Eine Lagerung von in mehreren Werkzeugkoffern angeordneten Matrizensegmenten ist in einfacher Weise möglich, beispielsweise durch Stapeln der Werkzeugkoffer.The tool case according to the invention allows easy handling of die segments of different size and / or shape. A uniform transport and storage concept is provided. The lifetime of the die segments is extended by avoiding damage. The die segments must be repacked less often between different storage or transport, which further facilitates the process. The die segments can be carried by one operator in the tool case according to the invention with one hand, resulting in ergonomic advantages and a reduction in health burden. A storage of arranged in a plurality of tool cases Matrizensegmenten is possible in a simple manner, for example by stacking the tool box.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung kann der mindestens eine Segmenteinsatz lösbar in der Werkzeugkofferschale gehalten sein, so dass mindestens ein auf dem mindestens einen Segmenteinsatz gehaltenes Matrizensegment für eine Reinigung gemeinsam mit dem mindestens einen Segmenteinsatz aus der Werkezugkofferschale entnommen werden kann. Es ergibt sich dadurch eine Vereinfachung der beispielsweise bei einem Produktwechsel erforderlichen Reinigung der Matrizensegmente, da das jeweilige Matrizensegment gemeinsam mit dem Segmenteinsatz aus der Werkzeugkofferschale entnommen und in eine Reinigungsvorrichtung zum Reinigen eingesetzt werden kann. Ein Umpacken des Matrizensegments ist nicht erforderlich. Dadurch werden die Gefahr von Beschädigungen und die körperliche Belastung für eine Bedienperson weiter reduziert. Der mindestens eine Segmenteinsatz kann beispielsweise klemmend in einem Halterahmen der Werkzeugkofferschale, insbesondere eines Unterteils der Werkzeugkofferschale, lösbar gehalten sein. Es sind aber auch andere lösbare Haltemechanismen denkbar.According to one embodiment, the at least one segment insert can be detachably held in the tool case shell, so that at least one die segment held on the at least one segment insert can be removed for cleaning together with the at least one segment insert from the tool train case shell. This results in a simplification of the necessary, for example, a product change cleaning the die segments, since the respective die segment can be removed together with the segment insert from the tool box shell and used in a cleaning device for cleaning. Repacking the die segment is not required. This further reduces the risk of damage and physical strain on an operator. The at least one segment insert can, for example, be held detachably in a holding frame of the tool box shell, in particular a lower part of the tool box shell. But there are also other releasable holding mechanisms conceivable.
Alternativ ist es möglich, dass der mindestens eine Segmenteinsatz fest in der Werkzeugkofferschale angeordnet ist, insbesondere einstückig mit der Werkzeugkofferschale verbunden ist. Es ergeben sich hierdurch ein besonders einfacher Aufbau und damit eine besonders einfache Herstellung des Werkzeugkoffers. Hergestellt werden kann der Werkzeugkoffer einschließlich des Segmenteinsatzes in einem Blow-Moulding Verfahren.Alternatively, it is possible that the at least one segment insert is fixedly arranged in the tool case shell, in particular is integrally connected to the tool case shell. This results in a particularly simple structure and thus a particularly simple production of the tool case. The tool case including the segment insert can be produced in a blow-molding process.
Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Begrenzungsmittel mehrere Sätze von in dem mindestens einen Segmenteinsatz ausgebildeten Begrenzungsvertiefungen und mehrere Begrenzungsstopfen umfassen, wobei zum Aktivieren eines Satzes von Begrenzungsmitteln Begrenzungsstopfen in diesen Satz von Begrenzungsvertiefungen einsetzbar sind, wobei die Begrenzungsstopfen im in die Begrenzungsvertiefungen eingesetzten Zustand zum verschiebungssicheren Halten des mindestens einen Matrizensegments über die Oberseite des mindestens einen Segmenteinsatzes hinausragen. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung umfassen die Begrenzungsmittel mehrere Sätze von in dem Boden des mindestens einen Segmenteinsatzes ausgebildeten Begrenzungsvertiefungen bzw. Begrenzungsaufnahmen. Weiterhin sind mehrere Begrenzungsstopfen vorgesehen, die wahlweise in die Begrenzungsvertiefungen eingesetzt werden können. Die Begrenzungsstopfen können in einer besonders einfachen Ausgestaltung zylindrisch geformt sein. Die Begrenzungsvertiefungen können dann ebenfalls zylindrisch geformt sein und einen geringfügig größeren Durchmesser besitzen als die Begrenzungsvertiefungen, so dass die Begrenzungsstopfen nach Art einer Presspassung oder durch Verschraubung in den Begrenzungsvertiefungen gehalten sind. Es sind aber selbstverständlich auch andere Formen für die Begrenzungsstopfen und Begrenzungsvertiefungen denkbar. Zum Aktivieren eines Satzes von Begrenzungsmitteln werden Begrenzungsstopfen in den entsprechenden Satz von Begrenzungsvertiefungen eingesetzt, beispielsweise eingeschraubt. Zum Deaktivieren dieses Satzes von Begrenzungsmitteln werden die Begrenzungsstopfen wieder aus den Begrenzungsvertiefungen entnommen. Im in die Begrenzungsvertiefungen eingesetzten Zustand stehen die Begrenzungsstopfen über die umgebende Oberfläche des Segmenteinsatzes vor und bilden so Begrenzungspunkte für ein zwischen die Begrenzungsstopfen eingelegtes Matrizensegment. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird das in seitlicher Richtung verschiebungssichere Halten des Matrizensegments in besonders einfacher Weise realisiert.According to a further embodiment it can be provided that the limiting means comprise a plurality of sets of limiting recesses formed in the at least one segment insert and a plurality of limiting plugs, wherein for activating a set of limiting means limiting plugs can be inserted into this set of limiting recesses, the limiting plugs being inserted into the limiting recesses Condition to shift-secure holding the at least one die segment over the top of the at least one segment insert protrude. In this embodiment, the limiting means comprise a plurality of sets of limiting recesses or limiting receptacles formed in the bottom of the at least one segment insert. Furthermore, a plurality of limiting plugs are provided, which can be used optionally in the limiting recesses. The limiting plug can be cylindrically shaped in a particularly simple embodiment. The limiting recesses may then also be cylindrically shaped and have a slightly larger diameter than the limiting recesses, so that the limiting plugs are held in the manner of a press fit or by screwing in the limiting recesses. Of course, other shapes for the limiting plugs and limiting depressions are also conceivable. To activate a set of limiting means, limiting plugs are inserted into the corresponding set of bounding recesses, for example screwed in. To disable this set of limiting means, the bounding plugs are removed again from the bounding wells. In the state inserted into the limiting recesses, the limiting plugs protrude beyond the surrounding surface of the segment insert and thus form boundary points for a matrix segment inserted between the limiting plugs. As a result of this embodiment, the holding of the die segment in the lateral direction is realized in a particularly simple manner.
Die Begrenzungsvertiefungen können nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung jeweils mindestens eine Kennzeichnung besitzen, die die Zugehörigkeit der Begrenzungsvertiefungen zu einem bestimmten Satz von Begrenzungsvertiefungen angibt. Die Kennzeichnung gibt insbesondere die Zugehörigkeit zu genau einem Satz von Begrenzungsvertiefungen an. Es ist dabei auch denkbar, dass einzelne oder sämtliche der Begrenzungsvertiefungen im Sinne einer Doppel- oder Mehrfachfunktion gleichzeitig zu zwei oder mehr als zwei Sätzen von Begrenzungsvertiefungen gehören. Die entsprechenden Begrenzungsvertiefungen können dann mehrere Kennzeichnungen aufweisen, die jeweils die Zugehörigkeit zu einem Satz von Begrenzungsvertiefungen angeben. Bei den Kennzeichnungen kann es sich zum Beispiel um eine auf dem Boden der Begrenzungsvertiefungen befindliche Beschriftung handeln. Beispielsweise kann als Kennzeichnung die Bezeichnung des durch die betreffenden Begrenzungsvertiefungen bei eingesetzten Begrenzungsstopfen zu haltenden Matrizensegments vorgesehen sein. Die vorgenannte Ausgestaltung erlaubt es in einfacher Weise, dass die Begrenzungsvertiefungen der unterschiedlichen Sätze die gleiche Form und Größe besitzen, und dass die Begrenzungsstopfen die gleiche Form und Größe besitzen. Durch über sämtliche Sätze hinweg identisch geformte Begrenzungsvertiefungen bzw. identisch geformte Begrenzungsstopfen ist es weiter möglich, dass nicht mehrere Sätze von Begrenzungsstopfen vorgesehen sein müssen. Es ist vielmehr ausreichend, wenn eine ausreichende Anzahl Begrenzungsstopfen vorhanden ist, um die Begrenzungsvertiefungen des Satzes mit den meisten Begrenzungsvertiefungen bzw. bei gleichzeitiger gewünschter Aktivierung mehrerer Sätze von Begrenzungsvertiefungen sämtliche Begrenzungsvertiefungen dieser mehreren Sätze besetzen zu können.According to a further embodiment, the limiting recesses may each have at least one marking which indicates the affiliation of the limiting recesses with a specific set of limiting recesses. In particular, the tag indicates belonging to exactly one set of bounding wells. It is also conceivable that individual or all of the bounding pits in the sense of a double or multiple function belong simultaneously to two or more than two sets of bounding pits. The corresponding bounding pits may then have a plurality of markings, each indicating membership in a set of bounding pits. The markings may be, for example, a label located on the bottom of the bounding pits. For example, the designation of the die segment to be held by the respective delimiting recesses when the delimiting plugs are used can be provided as identification. The aforesaid configuration allows in a simple manner that the boundary recesses of the different sets have the same shape and size, and that the limiting plugs have the same shape and size. By virtue of limiting recesses or identically shaped limiting plugs which are identically shaped over all sets, it is further possible that several sets of limiting plugs do not have to be provided. Rather, it is sufficient if there are a sufficient number of delimiting plugs so that the delimiting pits of the set with the most delimiting pits or, at the same time, the desired activation of a plurality of sets of delimiting pits can occupy all delimiting pits of these several phrases.
Alternativ ist es auch möglich, dass Begrenzungsvertiefungen unterschiedlicher Sätze jeweils unterschiedliche Abmessungen besitzen, und dass mehrere Sätze von Begrenzungsstopfen vorgesehen sind, wobei Begrenzungsstopfen unterschiedlicher Sätze jeweils unterschiedliche Abmessungen besitzen, wobei Begrenzungsstopfen eines Satzes aufgrund ihrer Abmessungen jeweils einem Satz von Begrenzungsvertiefungen zugeordnet sind. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung sind entsprechend auch mehrere Sätze von Begrenzungsstopfen erforderlich. Jeweils ein Satz von Begrenzungsstopfen ist jeweils einem Satz von Begrenzungsvertiefungen aufgrund der jeweiligen Form und Größe insbesondere eindeutig zugeordnet. Insbesondere kann dann ein Satz von Begrenzungsstopfen in genau einen Satz von Begrenzungsvertiefungen eingesetzt werden. Dabei können sich die Begrenzungsvertiefungen der unterschiedlichen Sätze bzw. die Begrenzungsstopfen der unterschiedlichen Sätze insbesondere hinsichtlich ihres Querschnitts, beispielsweise ihres Durchmessers, unterscheiden. Auch können die Begrenzungsvertiefungen der unterschiedlichen Sätze bzw. die Begrenzungsstopfen der unterschiedlichen Sätze unterschiedliche Querschnittsformen besitzen, die eine eindeutige Zuordnung der unterschiedlichen Sätze von Begrenzungsstopfen zu den unterschiedlichen Sätzen von Begrenzungsvertiefungen bieten.Alternatively, it is also possible that limiting recesses of different sets each have different dimensions, and that a plurality of sets of limiting plugs are provided, wherein limiting plugs of different sets each have different dimensions, wherein limiting plugs of a set are each assigned to a set of limiting recesses due to their dimensions. In this embodiment, several sets of delimiting stopper are required accordingly. One set of delimiting pegs is each based on a set of bounding pits the particular shape and size in particular clearly assigned. In particular, a set of bounding plugs can then be inserted into exactly one set of bounding wells. In this case, the delimiting recesses of the different sets or the delimiting plugs of the different sets may differ, in particular with regard to their cross section, for example their diameter. Also, the boundary pits of the different sets or the boundary pegs of the different sets may have different cross-sectional shapes that provide a unique association of the different sets of bounding plugs with the different sets of bounding pits.
Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Werkzeugkofferschale ein den mindestens einen Segmenteinsatz aufnehmendes Unterteil und ein gegenüber dem Unterteil zwischen einer geöffneten Position und einer geschlossenen Position verschwenkbares Oberteil besitzt, wobei das Oberteil in der geschlossenen Position mit einer Innenseite auf mindestens einem von dem mindestens einen Segmenteinsatz gehaltenen Matrizensegment aufliegt, so dass das mindestens eine Matrizensegment zwischen dem mindestens einen Segmenteinsatz und der Innenseite des Oberteils fest gehalten ist. Die Werkzeugkofferschale kann außerdem ein Schloss besitzen, mit dem der Werkzeugkoffer abschließbar ist. Im geschlossenen Zustand ist das Matrizensegment zwischen dem Segmenteinsatz und der Innenfläche des Oberteils auch hinsichtlich einer Bewegungsrichtung senkrecht zur Oberseite des Segmenteinsatzes positionssicher gehalten. Eine Bewegung des Matrizensegments in dem Werkzeugkoffer und eine damit verbundene Beschädigungsgefahr sind dann also vollständig unterbunden. Auch ein oder mehrere das Oberteil und das Unterteil verbindende Scharniere können an dem positionssicheren Halten des Matrizensegments teilnehmen.According to a further embodiment, it may be provided that the tool case shell has a lower part receiving the at least one segment insert and a top part pivotable relative to the lower part between an open position and a closed position, the upper part being in the closed position with an inside on at least one of the At least one segment insert held template segment rests, so that the at least one die segment between the at least one segment insert and the inside of the upper part is firmly held. The tool case shell may also have a lock with which the tool case is lockable. In the closed state, the die segment between the segment insert and the inner surface of the upper part is held positionally secure even with respect to a direction of movement perpendicular to the top of the segment insert. A movement of the die segment in the tool box and an associated risk of damage are then completely prevented. One or more hinges connecting the upper part and the lower part can also participate in the positionally secure holding of the die segment.
Das Oberteil und/oder das Unterteil der Werkzeugkofferschale können einstückig ausgebildet sein, insbesondere aus einem Kunststoffmaterial. Es können also auch das Oberteil und das Unterteil einstückig miteinander verbunden sein, beispielsweise durch ein oder mehrere Filmscharniere. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, dass das Oberteil und das Unterteil separate Teile sind, die durch ein oder mehrere separate Scharniere verbunden sind. Auch der Segmenteinsatz kann einstückig ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise aus Kunststoffmaterial. Sämtliche Teile des Werkzeugkoffers aus einem Kunststoffmaterial können in herstellungstechnisch besonders einfacher Weise in einem Kunststoffspritzgussverfahren hergestellt sein.The upper part and / or the lower part of the tool case shell may be integrally formed, in particular of a plastic material. So it can also be the upper part and the lower part integrally connected to each other, for example by one or more film hinges. However, it is also conceivable that the upper part and the lower part are separate parts, which are connected by one or more separate hinges. Also, the segment insert may be integrally formed, for example made of plastic material. All parts of the tool case made of a plastic material can be produced in a particularly simple manner in manufacturing technology in a plastic injection molding process.
Der Segmenteinsatz kann aus einem gegenüber der Werkzeugkofferschale weicheren Material, beispielsweise einem Kunststoff- oder Schaumstoffmaterial, bestehen. Hieraus ergibt sich ein besonders guter Schutz des Matrizensegments. Entsprechend kann nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung vorgesehen sein, dass die Innenseite des Oberteils der Werkzeugkofferschale einen Einsatz aufweist, der in der geschlossenen Position des Oberteils auf dem mindestens einen von dem mindestens einen Segmenteinsatz gehaltenen Matrizensegment aufliegt. Der Einsatz kann aus einem gegenüber dem Oberteil weicheren Material, vorzugsweise einem Kunststoff- oder Schaumstoffmaterial, bestehen. Es ist auch möglich, dass der Einsatz in dem Oberteil lösbar gehalten ist. Es ist dann möglich, das Matrizensegmente nach Umdrehen des Werkzeugkoffers auf das Oberteil gemeinsam mit dem Einsatz aus der Werkzeugkofferschale zu entnehmen, insbesondere für eine Reinigung des Matrizensegments in einer Reinigungsvorrichtung. Dazu ist es weiter vorteilhaft, wenn der Einsatz eine Gitterstruktur besitzt. Beispielsweise ein Reinigungsfluid kann in der Reinigungsvorrichtung das Matrizensegment dann besonders effektiv umspülen.The segment insert may consist of a material softer than the tool case shell, for example a plastic or foam material. This results in a particularly good protection of the die segment. Accordingly, according to a further embodiment, it can be provided that the inside of the upper part of the tool case shell has an insert which, in the closed position of the upper part, rests on the at least one die segment held by the at least one segment insert. The insert may consist of a material which is softer relative to the upper part, preferably a plastic or foam material. It is also possible that the insert is releasably held in the upper part. It is then possible to remove the die segments after turning the tool case on the upper part together with the insert from the tool case shell, in particular for a cleaning of the die segment in a cleaning device. For this purpose, it is further advantageous if the insert has a grid structure. For example, a cleaning fluid can then flow around the die segment particularly effectively in the cleaning device.
Der mindestens eine Segmenteinsatz kann weiterhin mindestens eine Eingriffsmulde zum Ergreifen mindestens eines durch den mindestens einen Segmenteinsatz gehaltenen Matrizensegments aufweisen. Ein Benutzer kann also in die Eingriffsmulde eingreifen, um so in einfacher Weise das Matrizensegmente von dem Segmenteinsatz zu entnehmen.The at least one segment insert may further comprise at least one engagement recess for gripping at least one of the at least one segment insert have held die segment. A user can thus engage in the engagement recess so as to easily remove the die segments from the segment insert.
Die Werkzeugkofferschale kann weiterhin mindestens ein Sichtfenster aufweisen, durch das mindestens ein durch mindestens einen Segmenteinsatz gehaltenes Matrizensegment von außen sichtbar ist. Damit ist insbesondere der Füllstand des Werkzeugkoffers erkennbar. Es können auch Beschriftungsfelder vorgesehen sein, die zum Beispiel einen in dem Werkzeugkoffer gelagerten Segmenttyp und/oder einen Hersteller des Matrizensegments und/oder einen Verwender des Matrizensegments etc. kennzeichnen. Auch eine identifizierende Farbgebung zumindest eines Teils des Werkzeugkoffers ist möglich, anhand der von außen erkennbar ist, dass der Werkezugkoffer zum Halten von Matrizensegmenten dient.The tool case shell may further comprise at least one viewing window through which at least one held by at least one segment insert Matrizensegment is visible from the outside. Thus, in particular the fill level of the tool case can be seen. It is also possible to provide labeling fields which, for example, identify a segment type stored in the tool case and / or a manufacturer of the die segment and / or a user of the die segment etc. An identifying coloring of at least a part of the tool case is also possible on the basis of which it can be seen from the outside that the tool train case serves to hold die segments.
Die Werkzeugkofferschale kann auch an ihrer Außenseite eine oder mehrere Eingriffsmulden besitzen zum Anheben des Werkzeugkoffers. Auch kann die Werkzeugkofferschale an ihrer Außenseite eine Stapelhilfe besitzen, über die mehrere Werkzeugkoffer aufeinander gestapelt werden können, beispielsweise an der Außenseite ausgebildete Rippen.The tool case shell may also have on its outside one or more engagement recesses for lifting the tool case. Also, the tool box shell may have on its outside a stacking aid over which a plurality of tool cases can be stacked on top of each other, for example ribs formed on the outside.
Grundsätzlich ist es auch möglich, Messprotokolle bzw. eine Betriebshistorie eines oder mehrerer in dem Werkzeugkoffer gehaltener Matrizensegmente in den Werkzeugkoffer zu integrieren. Hierzu kann beispielsweise eine drahtlos oder drahtgebunden beschreibbare und auslesbare Speichervorrichtung an oder in dem Werkzeugkoffer vorgesehen sein.In principle, it is also possible to integrate measurement protocols or an operating history of one or more die segments held in the tool case into the tool case. For this purpose, for example, a wireless or wired writable and readable storage device may be provided on or in the tool box.

In dem Unterteil 10 der Werkzeugkofferschale ist ein Segmenteinsatz 26 lösbar, beispielsweise klemmend, gehalten. Der Segmenteinsatz 26 kann aus einem weicheren Material bestehen als die Werkzeugkofferschale, beispielsweise einem Kunststoffmaterial oder einem Schaumstoffmaterial. Der Segmenteinsatz 26 umfasst in dem dargestellten Beispiel mehrere Sätze von Begrenzungsvertiefungen 28, die in dem gezeigten Beispiel zylindrisch ausgebildet sind. Die Begrenzungsvertiefungen 28 umfassen jeweils eine an ihrem Boden angeordnete Kennzeichnung 30, anhand derer die Zugehörigkeit der Begrenzungsvertiefungen 28 zu einem bestimmten Satz von Begrenzungsvertiefungen identifiziert werden kann. In dem gezeigten Beispiel handelt es sich bei der Kennzeichnung 30 um eine Beschriftung mit der Kurzbezeichnung eines durch den jeweiligen Satz von Begrenzungsvertiefungen 28 auf dem Segmenteinsatz 26 zu haltenden Matrizensegments.In the
Wie beispielsweise bei dem Bezugszeichen 32 zu erkennen, umfassen einige der Begrenzungsvertiefungen 28 mehrere Kennzeichnungen. Diese Begrenzungsvertiefungen 28 besitzen eine Mehrfachfunktion, beispielsweise eine Doppel-oder Dreifachfunktion, indem sie gleichzeitig mehreren, beispielsweise zwei oder drei Sätzen von Begrenzungsvertiefungen angehören. Es sind darüber hinaus mehrere ebenfalls zylindrische Begrenzungsstopfen 34 vorgesehen, die in die Begrenzungsvertiefungen 28 eingesetzt werden können, wobei sie einen minimal größeren Durchmesser als die Begrenzungsvertiefungen 28 besitzen, so dass sie in den Begrenzungsvertiefungen 28 im Sinne einer Presspassung gehalten sind. In dem dargestellten Beispiel besitzen sämtliche Begrenzungsvertiefungen 28 dieselbe Form und Abmessung. Auch sämtliche Begrenzungsstopfen 34 besitzen dieselbe Form und Abmessung. Der Segmenteinsatz 26 besitzt darüber hinaus eine Eingriffsmulde 36, in die eine Bedienperson zur Entnahme eines auf dem Segmenteinsatz 26 gehaltenen Matrizensegments eingreifen kann.For example, as indicated at
