Description

Technisches Gebiettechnical field

Die Anmeldung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Eintreiben eines Befestigungselementes in einen Untergrund.The application relates to a device for driving a fastener into a substrate.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Derartige Vorrichtungen weisen üblicherweise einen Kolben zur Übertragung von Energie auf das Befestigungselement auf. Die dazu erforderliche Energie muss dabei in sehr kurzer Zeit zur Verfügung gestellt werden, weshalb beispielsweise bei sogenannten Federnaglern zunächst eine Feder gespannt wird, welche während des Eintreibvorgangs die Spannenergie schlagartig an den Kolben abgibt und diesen auf das Befestigungselement zu beschleunigt. Die schlagartig freiwerdende Energie, mit der das Befestigungselement in den Untergrund eingetrieben wird, bewirkt einen Rückstoss, welcher einige Komponenten solcher Vorrichtungen mechanisch belastet.Such devices usually have a piston for transmitting energy to the fastener. The energy required for this must be made available in a very short time, which is why, for example, in the case of so-called spring nailers, a spring is first tensioned, which abruptly transfers the tensioning energy to the piston during the driving process and accelerates it towards the fastening element. The abruptly released energy, with which the fastener is driven into the ground, causes a recoil, which mechanically stresses some components of such devices.

In the case of exemplary embodiments that are not shown, the rotary element is fastened in a materially bonded manner, in particular by gluing or spraying on, or in a form-fitting manner. The motor pinion 410 is driven by the motor output 490 and in turn drives a not shown Torque transmission device. A holding device 450 is rotatably mounted on the one hand by means of a bearing 452 on the motor output 490 and on the other hand is connected non-rotatably to the motor housing by means of an annular mounting element 470 . Between the holding device 450 and the mounting element 470 there is also a ring-shaped sealing element 460 which serves to seal against dust and the like. Together with the line seal 570, the motor housing 24 is sealed off from the rest of the housing, with the fan 565 drawing in air through the ventilation slots 33 to cool the motor 480 and the rest of the drive device being protected from dust.

Die Halteeinrichtung 450 weist eine Magnetspule 455 auf, welche bei Bestromung eine Anziehungskraft auf einen oder mehrere Magnetanker 456 ausübt. Die Magnetanker 456 erstrecken sich in als Durchbrüche ausgebildete Ankerausnehmungen 457 des Motorritzels 410 und sind somit drehfest an dem Motorritzel 410 und damit an dem Motorabtrieb 490 angeordnet. Aufgrund der Anziehungskraft werden die Magnetanker 456 gegen die Halteeinrichtung 450 gedrückt, so dass eine Drehbewegung des Motorabtriebs 490 gegenüber dem Motorgehäuse abgebremst oder verhindert wird.The holding device 450 has a magnet coil 455 which, when energized, exerts an attractive force on one or more magnet armatures 456 . The magnet armatures 456 extend into armature recesses 457 embodied as openings in the motor pinion 410 and are thus arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on the motor pinion 410 and thus on the motor output 490 . Due to the force of attraction, the magnet armatures 456 are pressed against the holding device 450, so that a rotational movement of the motor output 490 relative to the motor housing is braked or prevented.

Die Dämpfelemente 830 umspannen jeweils den Motor 810 in einer sich senkrecht zur Eintreibrichtung der Eintreibvorrichtung erstreckenden Ebene. Im Übrigen ist der Motor 810 in allen Richtungen relativ zur Tragstruktur 820 bewegungsentkoppelt. Die Dämpfelemente 830 bestehen aus einem Elastomer und sind kreisringförmig ausgebildet. Sie weisen einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt auf und sind als O-Ringe ausgebildet. 4 shows another example of a driving device 800 with a motor 810 and a support structure 820, which is part of a housing of the driving device 800 and carries the motor 810, which is held on the support structure 820 by means of two damping elements 830 designed as ring elements. The damping elements 830 each span the motor 810 in a plane extending perpendicular to the driving direction of the driving device. Otherwise, the motor 810 is motion-decoupled in all directions relative to the support structure 820 . The damping elements 830 consist of an elastomer and are designed in the shape of a circular ring. They have a circular cross-section and are designed as O-rings.

Fig. 5 zeigt eine Schnittansicht der Anordnung aus Fig. 4. Die Tragstruktur 820 weist Nuten 840 für eine teilweise Aufnahme jeweils eines Dämpfelements 830 auf, wobei jede Nut 840 in Umfangsrichtung des jeweiligen Dämpfelements 830 vollständig umlaufend ausgebildet ist. In analoger Weise weist der Motor 810 zwei Rillen 850 für eine teilweise Aufnahme jeweils eines Dämpfelements 830 auf, wobei jede Rille 850 in Umfangsrichtung des jeweilgen Dämpfelements 830 vollständig umlaufend ausgebildet ist. figure 5 Figure 12 shows a sectional view of the arrangement 4 . The support structure 820 has grooves 840 for partially accommodating a damping element 830 in each case, with each groove 840 being formed completely circumferentially in the circumferential direction of the respective damping element 830 . In an analogous manner, the motor 810 has two grooves 850 for partially accommodating a damping element 830 each, with each groove 850 being designed to run completely around the respective damping element 830 in the circumferential direction.

Fig. 6 zeigt ein weiteres Beispiel einer Eintreibvorrichtung 900 mit einem Motor 910 und einer Tragstruktur 920, welche Teil eines Gehäuses der Eintreibvorrichtung 900 ist und den Motor 910 trägt, welcher mittels zweier als Ringelemente ausgebildeter Dämpfelemente 930 an der Tragstruktur 920 gehalten ist. Die Dämpfelemente 930 umspannen jeweils den Motor 910 in einer sich senkrecht zur Eintreibrichtung der Eintreibvorrichtung erstreckenden Ebene. Im Die Dämpfelemente 830 bestehen aus einem Elastomer und sind kreisringförmig ausgebildet. Sie weisen einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt auf und sind als O-Ringe ausgebildet. 6 shows another example of a driving device 900 with a motor 910 and a support structure 920, which is part of a housing of the driving device 900 and carries the motor 910, which is held on the support structure 920 by means of two damping elements 930 designed as ring elements.

The damping elements 830 consist of an elastomer and are designed in the shape of a circular ring. They have a circular cross-section and are designed as O-rings.

Um den Motor 910, der eine Wärmequelle darstellt, zu kühlen, weist die Eintreibvorrichtung 900 einen von der gleichen Energiequelle wie der Motor 910 betriebenen Lüfter 960 auf, welcher mittels eines Lüfterdämpfelements 970 an der Tragstruktur 920 gehalten ist. Bei einem nicht gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Lüfter mittels des Lüfterdämpfelements an dem Motor gehalten und somit mittels der Dämpfelemente des Motors zusätzlich gedämpft. Das Lüfterdämpfelement 970 besteht aus einem Elastomer und bildet eine Einhausung des Lüfters 960 und weist einen bevorzugt T-förmigen Vorsprung 980 auf, welcher in einer Aufnahme 990 der Tragstruktur 920 aufgenommen ist. Der Vorsprung 980 greift dabei in einen Hinterschnitt der Aufnahme ein.In order to cool the motor 910, which is a heat source, the driving device 900 has a fan 960 which is operated by the same energy source as the motor 910 and which is held on the support structure 920 by means of a fan damping element 970. In an exemplary embodiment that is not shown, the fan is held on the motor by means of the fan damping element and is therefore additionally damped by means of the damping elements of the motor. The fan damping element 970 consists of an elastomer and forms a housing for the fan 960 and has a preferably T-shaped projection 980 which is accommodated in a receptacle 990 of the support structure 920. The projection 980 engages in an undercut of the receptacle.
