Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum dosierten Auftragen und Verteilen von hochviskosen Stoffen, wie Klebemitteln, Fetten, Wachsen oder dergleichen, wobei der Stoff in einer ein vorgegebenes Füllvolumen aufweisenden Kartusche befindlich oder in diese einbringbar ist und die Kartusche eine Eigenstabilität derart aufweist, dass der jeweilige Stoff mittels eines Stempels oder dergleichen Mittel, welches Bestandteil der Kartusche ist, über eine an der Kartusche befindliche Öffnung austreten kann, gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for the metered application and distribution of highly viscous substances, such as adhesives, fats, waxes or the like, wherein the substance in a predetermined filling volume cartridge is located or can be introduced into this and the cartridge has an intrinsic stability such that the respective Fabric by means of a stamp or the like means, which is part of the cartridge, can escape via an opening located on the cartridge, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 695 18 307 T2 ist eine Kartusche zur Aufnahme und zum Ausbringen pastöser Produkte, bestehend aus einem Kunststoffmaterial, vorbekannt.From the DE 695 18 307 T2 is a cartridge for receiving and for dispensing pasty products, consisting of a plastic material, previously known.

Derartige Kartuschen weisen üblicherweise einen hohlzylindrischen Körper auf, der an einem seiner Enden durch einen Boden verschlossen ist. Vorbekannte Kartuschen sind zur Verteilung mit sogenannten Verteilerpistolen bestimmt. Bei Fettkartuschen wird die gesamte Kartusche in eine rohrförmige zylindrische Vorrichtung eingebracht, die z.B. als Handhebelfettpresse zum Stand der Technik gehört. Ein federbelasteter Stempel dringt in das Innere der Kartusche ein und führt zu einer Vorkomprimierung der Fettfüllung. Ein hydraulischer Handhebelmechanismus baut Druck auf mit der Folge, dass über eine Austrittsöffnung mit angeschlossener Düse eine Schmierstelle z. B. eines Kraftfahrzeuges über einen Schmiernippel versorgt werden kann.Such cartridges usually have a hollow cylindrical body which is closed at one of its ends by a bottom. Previously known cartridges are intended for distribution with so-called distributor pistols. In grease cartridges, the entire cartridge is inserted into a tubular cylindrical device, which belongs to the prior art, for example, as a manual lever grease press. A spring-loaded stamp penetrates into the interior of the cartridge and leads to a pre-compression of the grease filling. A hydraulic Hand lever mechanism builds up pressure, with the result that via a discharge opening with connected nozzle a lubrication point z. B. a motor vehicle can be powered by a grease nipple.

Problematisch ist jedoch bei derartigen hydraulischen oder pneumatischen Fettpressen ein gewünschtes großflächiges Auftragen einer Fettschicht, z. B. bei der Versorgung eines Gleitlagers bei einer Blattfederanordnung. Hier ist der Einsatz händischer Hilfsmittel zum Verteilen eines aufgebrachten Schmierstoffes erforderlich.However, the problem with such hydraulic or pneumatic grease presses is a desired large-area application of a grease layer, eg. B. in the supply of a sliding bearing in a leaf spring assembly. Here, the use of manual tools for distributing an applied lubricant is required.

Zum Stand der Technik gehören darüber hinaus Fettkartuschen für Stoßpressen mit einem zylindrischen Fettbehälter und einem in diesem geführten, als Abschluss des hinteren Endes des Fettbehälters dienenden Folgekolbens, wobei ein vorderes Ende des Fettbehälters mit mindestens einem Hubbegrenzungsanschlag für den Folgekolben versehen ist, gemäß DE 82 24 610 U1 . Auch bei derartigen Fettkartuschen und entsprechenden Stoßpressen gelten die oben erwähnten Nachteile des Standes der Technik.The prior art also includes grease cartridges for impact presses with a cylindrical grease container and a guided in this, serving as a conclusion of the rear end of the grease container follower piston, wherein a front end of the grease container is provided with at least one Hubbegrenzungsanschlag for the follower piston, according to DE 82 24 610 U1 , Even with such grease cartridges and corresponding impact presses, the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art apply.

Bei der Kartusche gemäß DE 601 04 656 T2 wird von einem Polyethylen-Rohrkörper ausgegangen. Üblicherweise ist hier ein Ende des Rohrkörpers von einem Stopfen verschlossen, wobei das andere Ende vor der Verwendung durch einen abbrechbaren Deckel bedeckt ist. Durch eine Art Abzugring kann eine Entfernung dieses Deckels erfolgen, um dann die Kartusche in eine Fettpresse einzusetzen. Der Kartuschenkörper ist hierbei sehr dünnwandig ausgebildet und ist nicht für eine Anwendung ohne Hüllrohr gemäß üblicher Fettpressen geeignet.For the cartridge according to DE 601 04 656 T2 is assumed that a polyethylene pipe body. Typically, here one end of the tubular body is closed by a plug, the other end being covered by a breakable lid prior to use. Through a kind of trigger ring removal of this cover can be done to then insert the cartridge in a grease gun. The cartridge body is in this case very thin-walled and is not suitable for use without a casing tube according to conventional grease presses.

Dieselbe Problematik tritt bei der Kartusche nach DE 198 18 455 B4 auf. Auch diese Kartusche muss im Sinne einer bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung durch die Einwirkung von Druckkräften auf ein im Einsatzfall offenes Ende des zylindrischen Körpers in eine Fettpresse mit stabilem Außenmantel eingebracht werden.The same problem occurs with the cartridge DE 198 18 455 B4 on. These cartridges must be introduced in the sense of intended use by the action of compressive forces on an open end of the cylindrical body in the case of use in a grease gun with a stable outer jacket.

Zum Stand der Technik gehören aber auch stabile Kunststoffkartuschen, z. B. zum Schließen von Fugen mittels eines Silikon- oder Acrylmaterials, das eine entsprechende Viskosität aufweist.However, the prior art also includes stable plastic cartridges, z. B. for closing joints by means of a silicone or acrylic material having a corresponding viscosity.

Derartige Kunststoffkartuschen sind seitig mit einer durchstoßbaren Schrauböffnung versehen, die wiederum eine längliche, in konischer Form ausgebildete Düse aufnimmt.Such plastic cartridges are provided on the side with a pierceable screw opening, which in turn receives an elongated, formed in a conical shape nozzle.

Im Bodenteil befindet sich ein beweglicher Einsatz, der über eine pistolenartige Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme der Kartusche so in die Kartusche hinein, d.h. zum düsenseitigen Ende bewegbar ist, dass Zug um Zug die in der Kartusche befindliche Füllung austritt.In the bottom part there is a movable insert which is inserted into the cartridge via a gun-like device for receiving the cartridge, i. is movable to the nozzle-side end that train to train the filling located in the cartridge exits.

Mit derartigen bekannten starren und stabilen Kartuschenkörpern wurden jedoch bisher lediglich die erwähnte Acryl- oder Silikonmaterialien zum Schließen von Fugen oder zu ähnlichen Abdichtzwecken angeboten.With such known rigid and stable cartridge bodies, however, only the mentioned acrylic or silicone materials have hitherto been offered for closing joints or for similar sealing purposes.

Es besteht jedoch ein Bedarf hingehend, auch übliche Fett-, Schmier- und Gleitmittel, aber auch z.B. Klebstoffe auf unterschiedlich geformte Körper aufzubringen, ohne dass ein unmittelbarer Kontakt z.B. der menschlichen Hand mit dem aufzutragenden Mittel stattfindet, wobei hierfür auf das Prinzip einer Kartusche mit integriertem beweglichem Druckstempel zurückgegriffen werden soll.However, there is a need for it, including conventional lubricants, lubricants and lubricants, but also e.g. Apply adhesives to differently shaped bodies without direct contact e.g. the human hand with the agent to be applied takes place, for which purpose the principle of a cartridge with integrated movable plunger should be used.

Aus dem Vorgenannten ist es daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine weiterentwickelte Vorrichtung zum dosierten Auftragen und Verteilen von hochviskosen Stoffen wie Klebemitteln, Fetten, Wachsen oder dergleichen anzugeben, wobei der Stoff in einer ein vorgegebenes Füllvolumen aufweisenden Kartusche befindlich oder in diese einbringbar ist. Eine Teilaufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ausgehend von an sich bekannten stabilen und starren Kartuschen mit integriertem Druckstempel diese Kartuschen so zu modifizieren, dass die erwähnten besonderen Stoffe auch großflächig, gleichmäßig und ohne händisches Zutun beim Verteilen des entsprechenden Stoffes auf beliebige flächige Körper aufbringbar sind.From the foregoing, it is therefore an object of the invention to provide a further developed device for the metered application and distribution of highly viscous substances such as adhesives, fats, waxes or the like, wherein the substance is located in a predetermined filling volume having a cartridge or can be introduced into this. A subtask of the invention is starting from known per se stable and rigid cartridges with integrated plunger to modify these cartridges so that the mentioned special substances can be applied over a large area, evenly and without manual intervention when distributing the corresponding substance on any two-dimensional body.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe der Erfindung erfolgt durch die Vorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1, wobei die Unteransprüche mindestens zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen umfassen.The object of the invention is achieved by the device according to claim 1, wherein the dependent claims comprise at least expedient refinements and developments.

Es wird demnach von einer Vorrichtung zum dosierten Auftragen und Verteilen von hochviskosen Stoffen, wie Klebemitteln, Fetten, Wachsen oder dergleichen ausgegangen, wobei der Stoff in einer ein vorgegebenes Füllvolumen aufweisende Kartusche befindlich ist oder in diese eingebracht werden kann. Die Kartusche weist eine Eigenstabilität derart auf, dass der jeweilige Stoff mittels eines Stempels, welcher Bestandteil der Kartusche ist, über eine an der Kartusche befindliche Öffnung austreten kann.It is therefore of a device for the metered application and distribution of highly viscous substances, such as adhesives, fats, waxes or the like, wherein the substance is located in a predetermined filling volume having a cartridge or can be introduced into this. The cartridge has an intrinsic stability such that the respective substance can escape via an opening located on the cartridge by means of a punch which is part of the cartridge.

Erfindungsgemäß geht die Öffnung in ein im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik weiterentwickeltes düsenartiges Gebilde über oder ist mit einem solchen Gebilde verbindbar, wobei stoffaustragsseitig das Gebilde die eigentliche Düsen-Austrittsöffnung umgebende, beabstandete Fortsätze besitzt, um den austretenden Stoff hilfsmittelfrei auf einer an sich beliebigen Fläche zu verteilen.According to the invention, the opening merges into a nozzle-like structure which has been developed further in comparison with the prior art, wherein the structure on the substance discharge side has the projecting, spaced projections surrounding the actual nozzle outlet opening in order to free the exiting substance on an arbitrary surface to distribute.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung bestehen die Fortsätze aus nachgiebigen, bürstenartigen Materialien.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the extensions are made of compliant, brush-like materials.

Bevorzugt sind die Fortsätze an einer Erweiterung des düsenartigen Gebildes befindlich und wiederum bevorzugt als integraler Bestandteil des düsenartigen Gebildes ausgeführt.Preferably, the extensions are located on an extension of the nozzle-like structure and again preferably designed as an integral part of the nozzle-like structure.

Die Fortsätze weisen bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung einen seitlichen Abstand von der Düsenöffnung auf.The extensions have, in one embodiment of the invention, a lateral distance from the nozzle opening.

Ein Ergänzungsgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, die Fortsätze mit einer unterschiedlichen Längsausdehnung zu versehen und/oder die Fortsätze in unterschiedlicher Querschnittsflächenform zu gestalten.A supplementary idea of the invention is to provide the extensions with a different longitudinal extent and / or to make the extensions in different cross-sectional surface shape.

Das düsenartige Gebilde kann lösbar an der Kartusche befestigt werden, um für den jeweiligen Applikationsfall angepasste unterschiedliche Düsen mit wiederum spezifizierten Fortsätzen zu verwenden.The nozzle-like structure can be detachably fastened to the cartridge in order to use different nozzles adapted to the respective application with again specified extensions.

Die Fortsätze können ring- oder kreisförmig um die eigentliche Austrittsöffnung angeordnet werden.The extensions can be arranged in a ring or in a circle around the actual outlet opening.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass mindestens ein Fortsatz als Abstandshalter beim Auftragen des jeweiligen hochviskosen Stoffes ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, dass auch bei kompliziert geformten Oberflächen recht gleichmäßig eine Klebstoff-, Fett- oder Wachsschicht aufbringbar ist.A development of the invention is characterized in that at least one extension is formed as a spacer when applying the respective high-viscosity substance. This ensures that even with complicated shaped surfaces quite evenly an adhesive, grease or wax layer can be applied.

Die Erfindung soll nachstehend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels sowie unter Zuhilfenahme von Figuren näher erläutert werden.The invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment and with the aid of figures.

Bei der Darstellung nach Fig. 1 wird von einer an sich bekannten hohlzylindrischen Kartusche 1 ausgegangen.In the presentation after Fig. 1 is assumed by a known hollow cylindrical cartridge 1.

Der Kartuschenkörper besteht aus einem stabilen Kunststoffmaterial und ist z.B. in seinem Inneren mit einer Fettfüllung versehen.The cartridge body is made of a sturdy plastic material and is e.g. provided in its interior with a grease filling.

Eine solche Kartusche wird in eine ebenfalls bekannte Hebel-Druckpistole (nicht gezeigt) eingesetzt. Die Hebel-Druckpistole wirkt auf einen im bzw. am Kartuschenboden fixierten, zur Innenseite hin beweglichen Stempel ein und übt Druck auf die Füllung derart aus, dass das Füllmaterial über eine Austrittsöffnung 2 mit nachgeordneter Düse ausgebracht werden kann.Such a cartridge is used in a likewise known lever pressure gun (not shown). The lever pressure gun acts on a fixed in or on the cartridge bottom, to the inside movable punch and exerts pressure on the filling in such a way that the filler material can be discharged through an outlet opening 2 with downstream nozzle.

Das weiterentwickelte düsenartige Gebilde gemäß der Darstellung nach Fig. 1 bzw. 3 weist eine Austrittsöffnung 4 auf, die z.B. einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt, einen ovalen Querschnitt oder einen schlitzförmigen Querschnitt gemäß der Fig. 2a bis 2c besitzen kann.The advanced nozzle-like structure according to the illustration Fig. 1 or 3 has an outlet opening 4, for example, a circular cross section, an oval cross-section or a slot-shaped cross-section according to the Fig. 2a to 2c can own.

Zum Beschichten der Oberfläche eines Körpers 5, z.B. eines Gleitlagers, gilt es nun, eine definierte Fettschicht 6 aufzutragen, und zwar ohne dass z.B. mit einem Finger, einem Holzspat oder einem ähnlichen Mittel ein Fettklumpen verteilt wird.For coating the surface of a body 5, for example a sliding bearing, it is now necessary to apply a defined layer of fat 6, without For example, with a finger, a Holzspat or a similar means a fat lump is distributed.

Hierfür wird die vorgestellte Lösung genutzt.For this purpose, the presented solution is used.

Gemäß der Seitenansicht nach Fig. 1 ist ein erster Fortsatz 7 in der Umgebung der Austrittsöffnung 4 angeformt oder dort befindlich. Dieser erste Fortsatz 7 bildet quasi einen Abstandshalter oder einen Führungsanschlag beim Bewegen der Kartusche 1 in Pfeilrichtung gemäß Fig. 1 nach rechts.According to the side view Fig. 1 a first extension 7 is formed in the vicinity of the outlet opening 4 or located there. This first extension 7 forms, as it were, a spacer or a guide stop when the cartridge 1 is moved in the direction of the arrow Fig. 1 to the right.

Der zweite Fortsatz 8, der im Wesentlichen dem ersten Fortsatz gegenüberliegend ausgebildet ist, weist eine geringere Längsausdehnung auf. Der in der Figur ersichtliche Abstand zwischen dem unteren Ende des zweiten Fortsatzes 8 und der Oberfläche des Körpers 5 bildet die maximale Dicke der Fettschicht 6. Beim Bewegen der Kartusche 1 in Pfeilrichtung und gleichzeitiger Druckausübung auf die Fettfüllung tritt eine entsprechende Fettmenge aus und kann in der gewünschten Schichtstärke auf den Körper 5 verbracht werden.The second extension 8, which is formed substantially opposite the first extension, has a smaller longitudinal extent. The apparent in the figure distance between the lower end of the second extension 8 and the surface of the body 5 forms the maximum thickness of the fat layer 6. When moving the cartridge 1 in the direction of arrow and simultaneous pressure on the grease filling exits a corresponding amount of grease and can in the desired layer thickness can be spent on the body 5.

Über die Varianz der Austrittsöffnungen gemäß den Fig. 2a bis 2c lässt sich die Auftragsbreite variieren und optimieren. Hierbei sind auch sehr breite Schlitzdüsen im Sinne der Erfindung liegend, so dass bei einer einzigen Auftragsbewegung eine sehr breite Schmiermittelspur bzw. Schmiermittelschicht erzeugt werden kann.About the variance of the outlet openings according to the Fig. 2a to 2c the order width can be varied and optimized. Here are also very wide slotted nozzles according to the invention lying, so that in a single application movement a very broad lubricant trace or lubricant layer can be generated.

Mindestens der zweite Fortsatz 8 kann eine gewisse Flexibilität besitzen oder einen bürstenartigen Aufbau aufweisen, um das Verteilen und Anhaften der Fettschicht auf der Oberfläche des Körpers 5 zu verbessern.At least the second extension 8 may have some flexibility or may have a brush-like construction to enhance the spreading and adherence of the fat layer on the surface of the body 5.

Der Körper 3 kann als integraler Bestandteil der Kartusche 1 ausgebildet sein, aber auch als separate, auswechselbare Düse gestaltet werden, um dann für den jeweiligen Applikationsfall eine angepasste, unterschiedliche Düse einsetzen zu können, ohne dass jeweils eine neue, fettgefüllte Kartusche nebst integraler Drüse erforderlich ist.The body 3 may be formed as an integral part of the cartridge 1, but also designed as a separate, replaceable nozzle, in order then to use a customized, different nozzle for each application, without requiring a new, fat-filled cartridge along with an integral gland is.

Für das Verbinden des düsenartigen Gebildes 3 mit der Kartusche 1 sind Schraubgewinde, bajonettartige Verschlüsse oder aber auch ein Verschluss über eine konische Flächenpressung denkbar.For the connection of the nozzle-like structure 3 with the cartridge 1 screw thread, bayonet-type fasteners or even a closure via a conical surface pressure conceivable.

Obwohl beim vorgestellten Ausführungsbeispiel unter Rückgriff auf die Figuren von einer Fettfüllung der Kartusche ausgegangen wird, sind auch andere Materialien und deren Verteilung, z.B. die Verteilung von Klebstoffen gemäß Erfindungsidee einsetzbar.Although it is assumed in the presented embodiment, with reference to the figures of a grease filling of the cartridge, other materials and their distribution, e.g. the distribution of adhesives according to the invention idea can be used.

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 3 ist, die Austrittsöffnung 4 umgebend, ein plattenförmiges Gebilde 9 vorgesehen, welches auf der Seite mit der Öffnung 4 eine Vielzahl von kegelstumpfförmigen oder pyramidenstumpfartigen Fortsätzen 10 aufweist.In the embodiment according to Fig. 3 is, the outlet opening 4 surrounding a plate-shaped structure 9 is provided, which has on the side with the opening 4 a plurality of frustoconical or truncated pyramid-like projections 10.

Beim gezeigten Beispiel nach Fig. 3 sind die Fortsätze 10 in x- und y-Richtung reihenförmig, insbesondere in 5er-Reihen angeordnet.In the example shown Fig. 3 the extensions 10 are arranged in rows in the x and y directions, in particular in rows of 5.

Dabei sind die Fortsätze 10 mindestens in x-Richtung versetzt zueinander ausgeführt, um aus der Öffnung 4 austretendes Fett gleichmäßig auf der zu behandelnden Oberfläche verteilen zu können.In this case, the extensions 10 are at least in the x-direction offset from one another to be able to distribute uniformly on the surface to be treated from the opening 4 leaking grease.

Die Fortsätze 10 sind in einem gewissen Maße elastisch ausführbar, um die Verteilung der entsprechenden Fettmenge auf die in der Fig. 3 nicht gezeigte Oberfläche zu optimieren.The extensions 10 are elastically executable to a certain extent to the distribution of the corresponding amount of grease on in the Fig. 3 optimize surface not shown.

Das Gebilde aus Platte 9 mit Fortsätzen 10 kann im Bereich der Öffnung 4 z.B. durch Formschluss mit dem Körper 3 verbunden werden. Denkbar ist aber auch hier eine einstückige Fertigung.The structure of plate 9 with extensions 10 may be in the region of the opening 4, e.g. be connected by positive engagement with the body 3.
