Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hook clamp, comprising a clamping hook with a hook element, the clamping hook being suitable for passing through an opening of a component to be clamped.
  • hook clamps are already known per se and are used in particular in automobile construction, for example in order to clamp a body component against another vehicle component in the course of vehicle production.
  • the component to be clamped must have an opening through which a hook of the hook clamp of the hook clamp is passed, so that the hook then moves the component in the direction of the hook clamp ("backwards") and in particular in the direction of one between the component and a further component arranged in a housing of the hoe tensioner can be pulled.
  • the hook clamps can also be designed so that when the component to be clamped is pulled, the hook element is simultaneously moved towards the hook ("down"), so that the hook can better engage the component to be clamped during the pulling movement and take it with it.
  • the EP 1 391 266 A2 a centering clamp for the centered fixing of a component to be machined, consisting of a centering pin located on an adapter plate and arranged over a clamping hook of the clamp drive formed from a hook and hook arm, with a slot for the clamping hook, with protective elements resting on the clamping hook flank to prevent foreign bodies from entering the clamping hook opening of the adapter plate are provided.
  • This known centering clamp has a centering mandrel which has to be passed through the component to be clamped, so that the component requires a correspondingly large opening.
  • the hook of the clamping hook can only be moved relatively little in the transverse direction in this embodiment, since its path is limited by the centering pin. The tool is therefore less suitable for larger component tolerances.
  • a hook clamp comprising a clamping hook with a hook element, the clamping hook being designed to pass through an opening of a component to be clamped, further comprising an actuator, the clamping hook being moved from an open position in a pulling direction by means of the actuator can be pulled to a closed position, the hook element in the closed position, in addition to the offset in the pulling direction, is offset in the direction of the hook end of the hook element, ie in a hook direction, the clamping hook comprising a first leg, the hook element being formed at a free end of the first leg, the clamping hook comprises a second leg arranged at an angle to the first leg, the actuator for pulling the clamping hook being articulated into the closed position on the second leg at a pivot point, the clamping hook being in a guide position between the pivot point and the hook element in an elongated hole in a Direction parallel to the pulling direction is mounted displaceably, wherein the clamping hook is biased by means of a spring element at a biasing position between the articul
  • a hook tensioner thus has a tensioning hook which consists of two legs which are arranged at an angle to one another, preferably approximately at a right angle to one another.
  • a first leg of this clamping hook has the hook element, that is to say the hook necessary for pulling.
  • the second leg is pulled, in particular at its free end, at a pivot point with the aid of an actuator. Pulling the articulation point, that is, a movement "backwards", causes the hook element to be pulled and thus a component to be clamped to be clamped.
  • the clamping hook is also mounted in an elongated hole, so that it has a path limited by the elongated hole for a movement in a longitudinal direction, namely the pulling direction.
  • This longitudinal direction i.e. the direction of the elongated hole, will preferably correspond approximately to the direction of the first leg of the clamping hook.
  • a spring element also between the articulation point and the hook, preferably on the first leg, in particular on the end of the first leg of the clamping hook, engages the clamping hook in order to push it against the pulling direction, ie "forwards".
  • the spring element can in particular be a compression spring.
  • This design of the hoe tensioner ensures that when the linkage point is pulled by means of an actuator in an open position of the hoe tensioner, the tensioning hook would be pulled “backwards", but at the pretensioning position it is initially pressed “forwards” by means of the spring force of the spring element, so that the guide position initially remains at a front end of the elongated hole and the hook element initially executes a movement "downward”, i.e. "in the hook direction”, and only with further pulling by means of actuator force in the pulling direction, the guide position within the elongated hole is shifted backwards and the hook element thus is pulled backwards in order to tension a component gripped by the hook if necessary.
  • the direction towards the heel tensioner that is to say the direction of pull, is referred to as “rear”.
  • the direction in which the hook is moved towards its front end to engage a component which is referred to as “downwards” or as "in the hook direction”.
  • the force of the actuator in interaction with the force of the spring element, causes a pulling force in two directions, namely on the one hand in the pulling direction and additionally in a direction normal to it, "downward", to close the hook.
  • the guide position and / or the pretensioning position are preferably arranged in the transition area between the first leg and the second leg, i.e. in the vicinity of that end of the second leg which merges into the first leg or in the vicinity of that end of the first leg which in the second leg transforms.
  • the spring element is preferably a simple compression spring which is oriented essentially parallel to the first leg.
  • the actuator preferably comprises an actuating rod which is hinged to the articulation point of the clamping hook and is oriented essentially parallel to the first leg.
  • the actuating rod can also be formed by a multi-part component and, for example, comprise a spindle with fork heads at the ends for articulation.
  • the actuating rod can preferably be acted upon by a force in the pulling direction by means of a pneumatic cylinder and / or by means of an electric motor and / or by means of a hand lever.
  • the force of the pneumatic cylinder, the hand lever or the electric motor in the pulling direction can be applied to the actuating rod via a lever mechanism for force transmission.
  • a guide bolt is preferably arranged on the clamping hook at the guide position between the articulation point and the hook element, which is mounted in the elongated hole of a guide housing so as to be displaceable in a direction parallel to the pulling direction.
  • the second leg of the clamping hook is preferably arranged approximately at a right angle to the first leg.
  • FIG. 1 an inventive hoe tensioner is shown in a first embodiment in the open position.
  • the same hoe tensioner is in Fig. 2 in closed position and in Fig. 3 three-dimensional, introduced into a component 14 to be clamped.
  • the hook clamp comprises a clamping hook 1 with a hook element 2.
  • This clamping hook 1, in particular the hook element 2 is designed to pass through an opening of a component 14 to be clamped, as in FIG Fig. 3 shown.
  • the hook tensioner also includes an actuator 3, namely a pneumatic cylinder 9, so that the tensioning hook 1 can be moved from an open position by means of the actuator 3 ( Fig. 1 ) in a pulling direction x to a closed position ( Fig. 2 ) can be pulled, the hook element 2 in the closed position, in addition to the offset in the pulling direction x, in a hook direction y, towards the hook end of the hook element 2, is offset.
  • an actuator 3 namely a pneumatic cylinder 9
  • the clamping hook 1 comprises a first leg 4, the hook element 2 being formed on a free end of the first leg 4, and approximately at right angles to the first leg 4, a second leg 5, the actuator 3 for pulling the clamping hook 1 into the closed position being linked to the second leg 5 at a pivot point A.
  • the articulation point A is located approximately at the free end of the second leg 5.
  • the clamping hook 1 is mounted at a guide position F between the articulation point A and the hook element 2 in an elongated hole 6 in a direction parallel to the pulling direction x.
  • the clamping hook 1 has a guide pin 12 at the guide position F.
  • the elongated hole 6 is formed in a guide housing 13 of the hook clamp.
  • the clamping hook 1 can be enclosed together with the guide housing 13 by a housing jacket 15.
  • the actuator 3 is attached to the guide housing 13.
  • the clamping hook 1 is prestressed by means of a spring element 7 at a prestressing position V between the articulation point A and the hook element 2 against the pulling direction x.
  • the spring element 7 is a compression spring which is aligned essentially parallel to the first leg 4.
  • the actuator 3 comprises a multi-part actuating rod 8 for the transmission of force to the articulation point A of the clamping hook 1, which is also aligned essentially parallel to the first leg 4.
  • a clamping hook built into a guide housing with an elongated hole with inserted guide pin clamps and positions components due to a pulling movement.
  • the hook clamp works in such a way that when open ( Fig. 1 ) during a pulling movement by means of pneumatic cylinder 9 (or by means of hand lever 10, Fig. 8 ) a clamping hook 1 guided in an elongated hole 6 and guide housing 13 is first pulled down with a partial force, in hook direction y. This first movement of the clamping hook 1 is ensured by the return spring 7.
  • the clamping hook 1 then strikes a stop piece attached below, which can be part of the guide housing 13, and due to the pulling movement subsequently moves backwards, in the pulling direction x, to the contact surface of a component to be clamped.
  • the clamping force of the clamping hook 1 towards the rear towards the contact surface is dependent on the force of the pneumatic cylinder 9 and the counterforce of the return spring 7.
  • the partial force down to the stop piece is dependent on the two leg lengths of the clamping hook 1 and the counterforce of the return spring 7.
  • the clamping hook 1 When opening the hook clamp, from the position of the Fig. 2 , the clamping hook 1 is actuated by means of a pneumatic cylinder 9 (or by means of a hand lever 10, Fig. 8 ) supported by the return spring 7 pushed forward, against the direction of pull x.
  • the guide bolt 12 of the clamping hook 1 then reaches the end of the elongated hole 6 provided for the bolt 12, and is then pushed upwards as far as a stop of the clamping hook 1 and thus again reaches the open state according to FIG Fig. 1 .
  • Fig. 4 is a representation of a hoe tensioner according to the invention in a second embodiment in the open position.
  • a pneumatic cylinder 9 is again used as actuator 3, but this pneumatic cylinder 9 is not, as in FIG Figs. 1 to 3 arranged on the same side of the guide housing 13 as the clamping hook 1, but on the side of the guide housing 13 opposite the clamping hook 1.
  • the force of the pneumatic cylinder 9 is applied to the actuating rod 8 by means of a lever mechanism 11.
  • the lever mechanism 11 comprises a lever which is guided through an opening in the guide housing 13.
  • Fig. 5 shows the same hook clamp, in the second embodiment, but in the closed position of the clamping hook 1 or hook element 2.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show side sectional views of the hook clamp in the second embodiment, in the open position ( Fig. 4 ), as well as in the closed position ( Fig. 5 ).
  • a third embodiment of a heel tensioner according to the invention is finally in the Figs. 8 to 10 shown, where Fig. 8 the open position and Figures 9 and 10 show the hook tensioner in the closed position.
  • a hand lever 10 is used as actuator 3, which again uses a lever mechanism 11 for power transmission to the clamping hook 1, the lever mechanism 11 being guided through the guide housing 11.
  • the actuation by means of a hand lever 10 for applying a force in the pulling direction x can be supported, for example, by force-supporting elements, such as one or more springs 16.
