Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pull-out tool for sleeve-shaped objects located in a component, with a shaft which has a conical external thread tapering towards the free end and carries an attacking means at the other end.
  • a screw unscrewing tool which has a thread with a very large pitch at one end and is provided with an attack means at the other end, which consists of four ground surfaces, each offset by 90 ° to one another.
  • This commercially available boring tool is particularly suitable for removing broken parts with external threads from tapped holes. Since this known screw unscrewing tool consists of solid material, the application possibilities are restricted.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a pull-out tool with which an expansion sleeve can be removed despite an anchor bolt passing through it.
  • the object is achieved in that the extracting tool has a zential, longitudinally extending through hole.
  • the extraction tool used surrounds an anchor bolt that may be present, the conical one External thread allows access to the gap between the anchor bolt and the expansion sleeve.
  • the extracting tool is preferably characterized in that the through-bore in the area of the external thread has an internal thread which is matched to the thread of the anchor bolt which may be present and whose axial extent essentially corresponds to the axial extent of the external thread.
  • the thread pitch of the external thread suitably corresponds to the thread pitch of the internal thread.
  • the anchor bolt When the external thread is screwed into the expansion sleeve, the anchor bolt can experience an axial movement via the internal thread of the extracting tool if the pitch is not the same. On the one hand, this could lead to the bolt abutting the bottom of the bore, thus preventing the extraction tool from being screwed in further, and on the other hand, an expansion process of the expansion elements could be initiated. For this reason, both threads advantageously have the same pitch.
  • the wall thickness remaining between the internal thread and the external thread decreases constantly towards the free end. This is achieved in that the thread start of the internal thread and the thread start of the external thread lie on the same radius, which extends from the circumference of the external thread to the center of the extraction tool.
  • the internal thread and the external thread advantageously converge towards the free end. This creates an annular cutting edge in the end area.
  • the external thread preferably has an inclination of 2 ° to 7 ° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the extraction tool towards the free end. Due to the low inclination, the extraction tool can continue into the gap between the Anchor bolts and the expansion sleeve are screwed in, so that the external thread can cut a thread serving for axial support into the inner wall of the expansion sleeve.
  • a pull-out tool is preferably used, the external thread of which has an inclination of 2 °. The flatter the slope, the more threads can be cut in the inner wall. In this way, higher axial pull-out values are achieved.
  • the external thread of the extraction tool preferably has an incline of 5 ° to 7 °.
  • the external thread is expediently a cutting thread in order to ensure a connection by means of a thread cutting process. This cutting process is further promoted if the extraction tool advantageously consists of hardenable steel.
  • FIG. 1 shows an anchor, which is composed of an anchor bolt 14, an expansion sleeve 12, a spacer sleeve 18, a washer 16 and a nut 15.
  • An axial force applied via the nut 15 causes the expansion elements 12a of the expansion sleeve 12 to expand radially in the area deepest in the borehole.
  • the second component 17 to be fastened sits between the washer 16 and the surface of the component 13.
  • a drawing tool 10 with a through bore 10d can be seen in FIG.
  • the outer diameter of the shaft 10a is smaller than the diameter of a borehole 19.
  • the extraction tool 10 has a conical external thread 10b which tapers towards the free end.
  • a force application means 10c is provided at the opposite end.
  • the through bore 10d of the pull-out tool 10 is larger than the thread diameter of the anchor bolt 14.
  • the expansion sleeve 12 shown in this example has an internal widening 12b in the area opposite the expansion elements 12a. This extension 12b serves to receive the screwed-in external thread 10b of the extraction tool 10.
  • the force application means 10c in the form of two pin-shaped elements is arranged at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the extraction tool 10. These pin-shaped elements are inserted in prefabricated bores 10h, protrude up to the inner wall of the through bore 10d and are welded to the outer surface of the extraction tool 10.
  • Another possibility of designing the force application means 10c is to arrange a pin-shaped one Element that is inserted through both holes 10h and then welded on.
  • FIG. 3 shows an anchor which essentially corresponds to the anchor in FIG. 1.
  • the difference between the two anchors lies in the greater length of the thread 4c and in the shape of the expansion sleeve 2, which has no extension.
  • the extraction tool 1 shown in FIG. 4 has an internal thread 1e on the inner circumference of a through hole 1d, the pitch of which is matched to the thread pitch of an anchor bolt 4.
  • An external thread 1b has the same pitch as the internal thread 1e. The beginning of the thread lies on the same radius, which extends from the circumference of the external thread 1b to the center of the extraction tool 1. A constant expansion of the wall thickness in the direction of the shaft 1a can thus be achieved.
  • the conically shaped external thread 1b converges with the internal thread 1e, so that an annular cutting edge which acts towards the free end forms on the end face 1f.
  • the through hole 1d adjoining the internal thread 1e is of expanded design. Due to this enlarged through hole 1d, the extracting tool 1 can also be used when the anchor bolt 4 is slightly bent.
  • the nut 5, 15 is loosened and removed together with the washer 6, 16 from the anchor bolt 4, 14.
  • the component 7, 17 to be fastened is then lifted off the component 3, 13, so that the spacer sleeve 8, 18 can be pulled out without difficulty with a tool in the form of pliers. So that the expansion sleeve 2, 12 can now be relieved, an axial movement of the Anchor bolt 4, 14 take place in the borehole 9, 19.
  • the nut 5, 15 is screwed back onto the anchor bolt 4, 14, so that the blows emitted to the end face of the anchor bolt 4, 14 are absorbed by the nut 5, 15 and over the thread flanks are transferred to the anchor bolts 4, 14.
  • the nut 5, 15 is then unscrewed again and the extraction tool 1, 10 is inserted into the borehole 9, 19 so that the conical external thread 1b, 10b comes into contact with the inner wall 2b, 12b of the expansion sleeve 2, 12 in order to achieve a positive connection by cutting a thread.
  • the extraction tool 1, 10 pulls axially on the expansion sleeve 2, 12 so that the expansion elements 2a, 12a are pressed together.
  • the further pulling out of the borehole 9, 19 takes place without problems.
  • the pulling out of the expansion sleeve 2, 12 can be facilitated by means of a striking tool (not shown) arranged in the area of the force application means 1c, 10c.
