Definitions
- the invention relates to a connection coupling designed according to the preamble of claim 1 of a feed unit for workpieces which are to be fed to a machine or to an installation, in particular an assembly or processing machine.
- connection coupling is known from DE 10 2018 119 089 A1. Fields of application for the known connection coupling are feed units for welding studs.
- the known connection coupling is designed in such a way that, in the opened state, it is not penetrable for welding studs.
- a blocking element is provided, which can be in the form of a sphere, cylinder or bolt.
- a hose or pipe connector with check valve is known.
- the check valve is in this case designed as a structural unit which includes an axial rod and a valve disk arranged on the rod.
- the connecting part according to DE 92 05 326 U1 is intended for use in a system for conveying plastic granules by means of conveying air.
- a coupling disclosed in EP 3293 131 B1 is provided for connecting two lines of a suction conveyor system and has a cover which is pivotably mounted on a coupling piece and enables the coupling piece to be closed.
- the cover can be held in the closed position by a latching element and can be spring-loaded in the direction of its open position.
- EP 0 813 019 A1 describes a powder spray coating device with a hose coupling.
- an adapter there are various options for connecting a powder hose.
- An annular seal may be disposed between a portion of the hose coupling and a portion of the adapter.
- a self-locking quick coupling for gas or liquid-carrying lines is described, for example, in DE 25 58 650 A1.
- the quick-release coupling comprises a coupling sleeve and a coupling plug, wherein a valve body that can be displaced against spring force by means of the coupling plug is arranged in the coupling sleeve.
- a locking device is provided, which is intended to enable positive locking between the coupling plug and the coupling sleeve.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a connection coupling for workpiece feed units that is further developed than the stated prior art, can be used flexibly, is easy to handle and has an automatically effective locking function in the open state.
- connection coupling with the features of claim 1 .
- the connection coupling comprises two connection units, namely a connection plug and a connection socket, which are each provided for connection to a feed hose.
- One of the connection units has a locking element designed as a pivotable pawl, which is designed to hold back the workpieces in the feed hose connected to the relevant connection unit when the connection units are in the separate state from one another.
- the pawl is mounted on one of the two connection units, i.e. either on the connection plug or on the connection socket, in such a way that the opening cross section of the connection coupling, through which the workpieces are conveyed, in composite connection units, ie closed connection coupling, is automatically released by interaction with the second connection unit.
- the pawl can be spring loaded or weight loaded. In the latter case, the weight of the pawl itself can be used in particular to convert it into the closed position.
- manual actuation of the pawl is also possible.
- connection coupling typically conveyed through the connection coupling by gravity.
- the workpieces can be actively pushed through the connection coupling.
- the connection coupling can be oriented in any way in space. Otherwise, the workpieces pass through the connection coupling vertically or diagonally from top to bottom.
- the plug is at the top and the socket is at the bottom.
- a fixed tube through which the workpieces slide or fall can also be connected to the socket. Installation situations are also conceivable in which the workpieces go directly from the connection coupling, without an intermediate hose, into a machine or system that processes the workpieces.
- the connector plug comprises an outer part of the connector and an inner part of the connector inserted into it, with the inner diameter of the inner part of the connector being matched to the inner diameter of the hose to be connected is, and wherein the pawl is gela siege in the plug outer part.
- the pawl can be resiliently supported, in particular on the outer diameter of the plug inner part.
- the outer part of the plug can have a conical section on its inner peripheral surface, against which a conical section of a sleeve surrounding the hose rests, the sleeve being provided by means of a clamping nut screwed onto the outer part of the plug for deformation-free attachment, i.e. clamping, of the hose is. By loosening the clamping nut, the hose is free again and can be removed from the connector.
- the connector plug is provided for establishing a latching connection with the connector socket, which can include a connector plate or be designed in the form of a connector plate.
- connection plate Manual, tool-free insertion of the connection plug into the connection socket and removal of the connection plug from the connection socket, in particular the connection plate, is possible, for example, in embodiments in which a connecting pawl is mounted in the connection socket, in particular in the connection plate, and is fitted into an outer contour of the connector plug can engage.
- the connection plate is not necessarily a plate-shaped element with a large expansion. Rather, more compact connection constructions, which enable the connection plug to be inserted and fixed, are subsumed under the term connection plate.
- the connection plate is, for example, permanently connected to a machine frame.
- the connecting pawl can be mounted by means of a bolt which is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the connection units, ie vertically in a typical installation situation.
- the pivot axis of the pawl is, for example, normal to the plane in which the bolt supporting the connecting pawl—more precisely: the central axis of the bolt—and the longitudinal axis of the connection Units is aligned. In a typical embodiment, this orientation corresponds to a horizontal position of the bolt with which the pawl is mounted.
- a direct interaction of the pawl with the connection plate to be attributed to the connection socket, in which the connecting pawl is mounted can be provided.
- connection set for workpiece feed units can be assembled from components of connection couplings according to the application.
- the connection set enables a quick, uncomplicated conversion of a feed unit for workpieces of different dimensions.
- the connecting plate remain firmly connected to a surrounding construction, but one and the same outer socket part can also be used for different workpieces. Only the inner part of the connection socket has to be exchanged to adapt it to the dimensioning of the workpieces, which can be done without tools.
- connection coupling identified as a whole with the reference number 1, is provided for use in a feed unit for workpieces, which is known per se.
- connection coupling 1 is composed of a connector plug 2 and a connector socket 3, collectively referred to as connector units 2, 3.
- the connection coupling 1 is shown in the closed state, that is to say in the assembled state of the connection units 2, 3.
- a pawl 5 which is generally referred to as a locking element, prevents the workpieces from slipping down.
- the hose 4 together with the connector plug 2 located at its end can be inserted into one of the connector plate 6 assigned to the connector socket 3 and removed from the connector plate 6 without tools.
- the connection plate 6 is inserted into a surrounding structure in a manner that is not shown.
- the connector plug 2 comprises an outer connector part 7 and an inner connector part 8 inserted into this.
- the outer connector part 7 is also referred to as an outer connection component and the inner connector part 8 is also referred to as an inner connection component.
- the connector plug 2 comprises a fluff 10, which directly surrounds the hose 4 and is screwed tightly to the outer part 7 of the connector with the aid of a clamping nut 12, which is also to be attributed to the connector plug 2.
- a conical section of the sleeve 10 is denoted by 11 .
- the reference numeral 18 designates a conical section of the inner peripheral surface of the plug outer part 7. When the connector plug 2 is assembled, the conical sections 11, 18 rest against one another.
- the conical section of the sleeve 11 is clamped with the hose 4 and thus serves to clamp the hose 4 without deformation.
- the clamping nut 12 To remove the hose 4 from the connector plug 2, the clamping nut 12 must be loosened. This can be done in the combined state of the connection units 2, 3 as well as in cases where the connector plug 2 is removed from the connector socket 3.
- a spring arrangement 9 ensures that an engagement end 19 of the blocking element 5 in the opening cross-section, which is otherwise released for the workpieces to be promoted, usually metal or plastic parts, pivots.
- the desired self-locking function when opening the connection coupling 1 is given.
- connection socket 3 When the connection socket 3 is inserted into the connection plate 6 , an annular shoulder 17 of the outer part 7 of the plug strikes the surface of the connection plate 6 .
- a groove 13 formed in the outer part 7 of the plug is positioned in such a way that a connecting pawl 14 mounted in the connection plate 6 and representing a component of the connection socket 3 can be latched into the groove 13 .
- a bolt 15 is provided to delay the connection pawl 14 in the connecting plate 6 .
- the connecting pawl 14 can be actuated manually and can be spring-loaded in a manner that is not shown.
- the connection plate 6 has a horizontal slot-shaped recess 16 in which the connecting pawl 14 is located.
- the pawl 5 is designed as a two-armed lever, with the spring arrangement 9 being located in the area of a so-called actuating arm 22 of the blocking element 5 .
- the actuating arm 22 opposite engagement end 19 of the locking element 5 can engage in an opening 20, which is in the plug inner part 8 befin det, and thus in the otherwise free cross-section, which is given by the plug inner part 8 pivot.
- a bolt supporting the blocking element 5 in the outer part 7 of the plug is denoted by 21 .
- the inner part 8 of the plug is a part that can be exchanged within the connector plug 2 and that can be selected to match the hose 4 .
- the inner plug part 8 abuts against a shoulder 23 on the outer plug part 8, while at the same time a section of the inner plug part 8, designated 24, protrudes beyond the outer plug part 7 and thus also beyond the underside of the connection plate 6.
