Definitions

  • the invention relates to a removal tool for removing an opening in a housing wall.
  • the starting point for the invention are completely closed electrical empty housings with so-called knock-out areas. These knock-out areas can be knocked out of a prepared housing area with a tool such as a screwdriver.
  • the prerequisites for this are a sufficiently small wall thickness and sufficiently brittle housing material properties of the empty electrical housing. Knocking out the knock-out area thus harbors the risk of unwanted damage to the empty electrical housing, the sealing surfaces and fragments remaining inside the housing. Anything can lead to general sealing problems and malfunctions.
  • the break edge can have increased sharpness, which can lead to damage to the line insulation when the line is pulled in.
  • the freedom of movement for knocking out the knock-out area can be severely restricted, which can result in significant practical problems.
  • an improved construction of an anchor dowel which consists primarily of a drill screw rod, an anchor sleeve and a screw nut.
  • the pamphlet DE 103 53 617 A1 teaches a method for removing solids from tubes of a shell and tube heat exchanger.
  • the object is achieved by a removal tool for removing an opening in a housing wall, with a removal device which is arranged on an end section of the removal tool, and a thread for screwing the removal tool into a threaded connector in or on a housing wall to make an opening in a housing wall.
  • the removal tool In order to screw the removal tool into the housing wall in a controlled manner and with appropriate force and to simplify the removal of the opening for a user of the removal tool, the removal tool has an actuation area for driving the removal tool by means of a tool.
  • Any manually operable tool such as a screwdriver, as well as a cordless screwdriver or a drill with a corresponding adapter, can be used as a tool.
  • the actuation area is designed to be radially or axially drivable from the inside or outside with a socket, ring or open-end wrench, screwdriver, Allen key or a cylindrical pin-like tool. This enables in particular that no special tool has to be available for driving the removal tool. Simple and commonly used tools can therefore be used.
  • the actuation area has lateral openings in order to radially surround the removal tool with a rod-shaped tool to drive.
  • the technical advantage is achieved that the actuation of the removal tool can additionally be simplified by radially inserting a rod-shaped tool. This could be of particular importance, for example, if the thread of the removal tool is fully screwed into the threaded connector of the housing wall and the removal of the opening involves increased effort or the axial space conditions for the use of frontal drive tools are not available.
  • a screwdriver can be inserted into the side opening of the actuation area in order to enable easier removal with a larger lever or, in the case of axially limited space, better screwing in and unscrewing.
  • the lateral openings extend completely through the actuation area of the removal tool. As a result, the tool can be guided completely through the removal tool, thus ensuring that the tool does not slip.
  • the front-side cutting device is designed as a multiple cutting edge. This increases the service life of the separating device and increases the maintenance intervals.
  • the front-side separating device is formed by several penetrating cylinder contours.
  • the cutting device In order to implement the production and regrinding of the cutting device in a particularly simple and reliable manner, the cutting device has two cylinder contours which are arranged rotated by 90 ° with respect to one another.
  • the cutting device comprises a wave-like contour.
  • the removal device comprises a sawtooth-shaped contour.
  • the cutting device comprises a punch-iron-like cylinder contour for punching out the opening.
  • At least the separating device is made of metal.
  • Metal offers particularly suitable properties for the purpose according to the invention.
  • a metallic separating device can be produced in a simple manner, but it can also be reground very easily.
  • the removal tool is designed in one piece.
  • the technical advantage is achieved that a constant or standardized actuation area can be combined with different thread sizes or with different variants of separating devices.
  • the actuation area and the removal tool are designed to be connectable by means of a plug connection.
  • This connector can be designed in any conceivable way. It is only essential that the necessary torque can be transmitted through the tool to the actuation area and from the actuation area to the cutting device. This enables the cutting device to be exchangeable and exchanged if necessary. Reasons for this can be that different cutting geometries or other cutting sizes have to be used for other housing materials or a worn cutting device has to be replaced with a new cutting device.
  • the object is achieved by an assembly device for cutting out an opening in a housing wall, with a removal tool according to one of the preceding embodiments and a housing wall with a threaded connector, the threaded connector having an internal thread which corresponds to the thread of the removal tool .
  • the object is achieved by a method for cutting out an opening in a housing wall with a removal tool according to one of the preceding embodiments, with the provision of a threaded connector on a housing wall, the screwing of a removal tool into the threaded connector, and the removal the opening in the housing wall through the cutting device, which is arranged on the frontal section of the cutting tool.
  • This results in a damage-free and chip-free production on the housing wall.
  • simple operation and easy accessibility are achieved in the case of limited space, with no need to knock out housing areas. As a consequence, the risk of damage to the housing wall is reduced and sealing problems are prevented.
  • FIG. 11 shows a perspective illustration of a removal tool 100.
  • the removal tool 100 has a removal device 105 at one end of the removal tool 100 and a thread 107.
  • the thread 107 is designed to correspond to a threaded connector 110 (not shown) which is formed on a housing wall 103 of an empty electrical housing.
  • actuation area 109 for driving the removal tool 100 with a tool.
  • This actuation area 109 can, for example, be actuated particularly easily with a socket, ring or open-end wrench.
  • the actuation area 109 is formed correspondingly hexagonal.
  • an embodiment for actuation by means of an Allen key or a screwdriver is also conceivable.
  • the actuation area 109 has lateral openings 111. The lateral openings 111 are located on each side surface of the actuation region 109 formed by the hexagonal basic shape, whereby the driving of the removal tool 100 is possible by means of a simple rod-shaped tool.
  • the cutting device 105 on the frontal section of the cutting tool 100 has two penetrating cylinder contours. These cylinder contours are arranged rotated by 90 ° with respect to one another and comprise a wave-like contour.
  • the removal tool 100 is formed in one piece and consists of a metal. For cost reasons, steel or a brass alloy is particularly suitable for this.
  • the Figure 2a shows a representation of a removal tool 100 with a protective cap 115.
  • the removal tool 100 comprises the removal device 105, the thread 107 for screwing the removal tool 100 into a threaded connector 110 of a housing wall 103 and the actuation area 109 with the laterally arranged openings 111.
  • the protective cap 115 can be arranged over the separating device 105 on the front side.
  • the protective cap 115 comprises a corresponding internal thread which corresponds to the thread 107 of the removal tool 100.
  • the protective cap 115 can simply be screwed onto the removal tool 100.
  • the Figure 2b shows an illustration of a further removal tool 100 with a protective cap 115.
  • the thread 107 and the removal device 105 comprise one opposite the removal tool 100 from FIG Figure 2a different size on, whereby the size of the corresponding protective cap 115 is also adapted.
  • the Figure 2c shows a representation of yet another removal tool 100. Compared to Figures 2a and 2b the thread 107, the separating device 105 and the protective cap 115 have a different further size.
  • FIGS. 2d to 2f correspond to the Figures 2a to 2c , wherein the respective protective cap 115 is arranged screwed onto the corresponding removal tool 100.
  • the Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of a mounting device 101 in a side view.
  • the removal tool 100 comprises the removal device 105, the thread 107 and the actuation area 109 with the laterally arranged openings 111.
