Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coupling, in particular hook coupling, for electric play and model trains according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an electric motor drive for a corresponding coupling according to the preamble of claim 13.
  • the NEM 362 For accommodating exchangeable coupling heads of nominal size H0, there are e.g. the NEM 362, for the inclusion of exchangeable coupling heads of size N, the NEM 355. These measures make it possible to combine the coupling heads of the desired model railroad manufacturer with other manufacturer's model railroad vehicles and thus to use model railroad vehicles universally.
  • Model railway vehicles can be decoupled in various ways. On the one hand, model railway vehicles can be decoupled manually, which is sometimes difficult considering the scale reduction is. Furthermore, there are so-called uncoupling ramps, operated in the region of which clutches and thereby the decoupling process can be initiated. In recent times, motor or magnetically actuated clutches have been added, by means of which it is possible to carry out a decoupling process location-independent via the remote control.
  • a coupling according to the preamble of claim 1 is known.
  • the coupling is intended to be mounted with its mounting projection on a standard receiving shaft of different model train manufacturers.
  • the movable holding element, on the front side of which the hook is located, extends in the rear region thereof below the vehicle-side receiving shaft.
  • a hook pressure plate is attached via a hinge directly to an eyelet and provided with a drawbar.
  • the clutch can be operated by means of a magnet, servomotor or geared motor.
  • a jaw clutch for electric play and model trains is known in which the coupling head of the mating coupling part is provided with a foot part, which serves for insertion into standardized receiving slots.
  • the coupling head comprises a fork-like foot part with protruding ends, which engage around the rear end of the receiving shaft in a latching manner.
  • a model railway vehicle with a receiving shaft for a coupling head which has a fork-shaped mounting projection.
  • the receiving shaft is connected via an elastically flexible connecting web made of plastic with the vehicle frame.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a novel coupling of the type mentioned above, with which the possible applications can be extended in a structurally simple manner.
  • the movable holding element is configured such that it extends through the receiving shaft or on the outside (eg., Below the receiving shaft) along the receiving shaft and the rear end portion of the movable Retaining element projects beyond the rear end of the receiving shaft.
  • This makes it possible to control the coupling via the movable retaining element on the back of the receiving shaft by means of a preferably motorized drive via a driver.
  • This activation can advantageously take place in such a way that the driver preferably acts on the movable holding element without a mounting connection, so that to remove the coupling, it only has to be unlocked on the receiving shaft and pulled out of the latter. It is therefore no time-consuming disassembly z. B. by desoldering or disassembly necessary.
  • the movable support member also extend beyond the receiving shaft to the rear and project beyond the rear end of the receiving shaft with its end, for example, when the movable support member with an additional z. B. finger-like projection is formed.
  • the rear end region of the movable holding element in front of the rear end of the receiving shaft mechanically, preferably loosely only by means of a stop, ie without a mounting connection.
  • the receiving shaft is also available for receiving the movable holding element or at least a part thereof.
  • the rear end region of the movable holding element expediently interacts with a driver operatively connected to the driver.
  • the movable holding element associated region of the driver is preferably a mouth, in which the rear end portion 7 of the movable support member 3 loosely and preferably also transversely displaceable engages.
  • the pivot axis A of the movable support member is located within the receiving shaft. This has the advantage that a high degree of miniaturization can be turned on and a simple construction can be selected to ensure pivotability, since the receiving shaft at the same time ensures that the movable holding element remains in position, ie can not fall out.
  • the construction also has the advantage that a loose control of the movable holding element can be done on the back of the receiving shaft and that for example by a simple axial movement of a corresponding actuating element.
  • a loose control of the movable holding element can be done on the back of the receiving shaft and that for example by a simple axial movement of a corresponding actuating element.
  • a one-sided or double-sided loose stop of a, for example, vertically actuatable actuating element can take place.
  • the construction can be considerably simplified.
  • this structural measure allows for horizontal pivoting of the clutch z. B. when cornering the movable support member also pivoted transversely to the stop but nevertheless still held in the attack.
  • the stop or the driver is provided for this purpose in each case with a flat stop surface along which the end of the movable holding element can move in the condition of the stop.
  • the receiving shaft is a so-called standard receiving shaft for replaceable coupling heads.
  • the mounting projection of the coupling according to the invention is expediently fork-shaped, wherein the movable holding element is located between the two fork projections of the mounting projection.
  • the movable holding element does not interfere. Furthermore, it is protected against external influences.
  • the mounting projection has latching projections which engage the rear of the receiving shaft, whereby the mounting projection is insertable into the receiving shaft, snaps into the intended position and thus a positional fixation is achieved.
  • the movable holding element has at least one recess. This serves to ensure sufficient mobility of the movable holding element in the installed state.
  • the recess or at least a part thereof is located in front of the axis of rotation A but within the receiving shaft. As a result, the dimensions of the coupling can be reduced.
  • the axis of rotation A can be ensured by mutually contacting recesses or projections.
  • the axis of rotation A is formed on the movable or rigid holding element by a projection on the rigid holding element and a corresponding recess on the movable holding element or vice versa.
  • the open side of the recess is directed to the top or bottom of the coupling. Nevertheless, cohesion of construction through the receiving shaft occurs.
  • a clip may be provided which hold together the rigid and movable holding element.
  • the movable and rigid holding element can also be previously fixed by a bolt.
  • a hook preferably an upward hook
  • the present invention further relates to an electric motor drive for a clutch, preferably according to a clutch according to one of claims 1-12.
  • the drive comprises an electric drive motor with drive shaft and a threaded screw which is connected to the drive shaft. Furthermore, a movably mounted threaded sleeve is provided, which receives the threaded screw and is connected to a driver for actuating a movable holding element of a coupling. This makes it possible to easily transmit the movement generated by the electric drive motor in a translational movement in confined spaces.
  • the driver is movable back and forth in the longitudinal direction of the axis of the drive shaft of the electric drive motor.
  • the driver can also be reciprocated in a direction obliquely or transversely to the axis of the drive shaft of the electric drive motor. In both cases, it is a simple structural design.
  • micromotor or micro-servomotor is used as the electric drive motor.
  • Micromotors are manufactured and sold in large quantities as standard parts.
  • the driver is provided with a jaw, by means of which the movable holding element is detected in the region of its rear end region and can be moved in both directions.
  • the driver is articulated.
  • the arrangement consisting of an electric drive motor, a threaded screw and a threaded sleeve can be positioned horizontally positioned in the model vehicle.
  • Fig. 1A shows a useful embodiment of the coupling according to the invention in plan view. It comprises a rigid retaining element 2, which has a projection 1, which serves the coupling in an in Fig. 1A
  • the projection 1 is fork-shaped by having a first fork projection 8 and second fork projection 9, at its free ends in each case a latching projection 10 and 11 is located.
  • the clutch is thus able to be accommodated in a so-called Norm receiving shaft.
  • the latching projections 10 and 11 engage around the rear area of the receiving shaft 4 (eg. Fig. 2A ) and lock it accordingly.
  • the region of the rigid holding element 2 located outside the receiving shaft has an expanded shape, at the front end of which a coupling yoke 20 is located.
  • a movable support member 3 In the interior formed by the rigid support member 2 is a movable support member 3, at the end of a preferably provided with an outside bevel hook 5 is located.
  • the hook 5 serves to the preferably slightly curved coupling bracket 20 of the coupling of the adjacent vehicle behind.
  • the movable support member 3 is preferably formed elongated and extends beyond the rear end of the mounting projection 1.
  • the movable support member 3 is thus with its rear end portion 7 outside of the receiving shaft 4 via.
  • the pivot axis of the movable support member 3 is located to the rigid support member 2 in the designated by the letter A area.
  • the position of the pivot axis A is particularly clear from the illustration according to Fig. 1B ,
  • the movable holding element 3 has in the region between the pivot axis A and the rear end region 7, a recess 6, which ensures sufficient mobility of the receiving shaft passing, movable support member 3.
  • the rigid support member 2 has a projection 13 with a curved surface which cooperates with a corresponding recess 12 on the movable support member 3, so that the movable support member 3, as shown in FIG Fig. 1B can be pivoted from the dome position shown there by pivoting the rear end portion 7 to a pivoting radius made possible by the recess 6 upwards. As a result, the clutch is brought into a decoupled position.
  • the movable holding element is only according to the in Fig. 1B shown arrangement from below and the two holding elements 2, 3 then jointly inserted into the receiving shaft 4.
  • the receiving shaft 4 thereby holds both holding elements 2, 3 to each other in position.
  • the receiving shaft 4 simultaneously limits the pivoting movement of the movable holding element 3 via a in the Fig. 1 B clutch position shown upward.
  • the rear end portion 7 of the movable support member 3 is provided with an inclined surface 14, which serves in a loose stop with a (eg in Fig. 2A shown) mouth loosely in contact.
  • a (eg in Fig. 2A shown) mouth loosely in contact is provided.
  • the coupling shown merely consists of two parts, which can be produced in a simple manner either from plastic or metal.
  • the rigid support member 2 may be designed as a plastic part and the movable support member 3 as a metal part.
  • the novel coupling impresses with its simplicity and the small space requirement.
  • Fig. 2A is the coupling according to the embodiment according to Fig. 1A and 1B in the installed state shown in coupled position.
  • the reference numeral 4 denotes a receiving shaft, which is open at the front and rear and is fixed by means of an anchor 22 in the body 25 of the model vehicle.
  • the anchoring 22 also ensures the pivot point of the standard shaft 4.
  • an electric drive motor 15, preferably a so-called micromotor housed in a vertical orientation in the structure 25 of the model vehicle.
  • the drive motor 15 has a drive shaft 16 which is fixedly connected to a threaded screw 17.
  • the rotational movement of the screw 17 is received by a threaded sleeve 18, which in turn is fixedly connected to a driver 19.
  • the driver 19 moves either up or down.
  • the drive motor 15 or its control recognizes the end positions of the driver 19.
  • a mouth 21 in which the rear end portion 7 of the movable holding member 3 loosely engages.
  • a special feature of the present invention is that the clutch can be removed in the mounted state despite activation by means of an electric motor drive only by decoupling the mounting projection 1 from the receiving shaft 4.
  • the construction according to the invention makes it possible to introduce a different type of coupling from another manufacturer, if necessary, into the receiving shaft. This ensures that the model railway vehicles provided with a respective drive can nonetheless be operated with different types of clutches.
  • the Fig. 3A and Figure 3B shows an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
  • the drive motor 15 is in the structure 25 of the model railway vehicle in a horizontal position.
  • the driver 19 is articulated by a hinge point 23, so that upon appropriate actuation of the drive motor 15, the mouth 21 of the driver 19 moves due to the pivoting of the driver 19 about the pivot point 23 either up or down.
  • a corresponding free space 24 is also in the embodiment of the Fig. 2A and 2B available.
  • the movable holding member 3 is fork-shaped. It comprises a first region 3a of the movable holding element 3, which runs backwards along the underside of the receiving shaft 4 and projects beyond the rear end of the receiving shaft 4 with its rear end region 7.
  • the further, second region 3b of the movable holding element 3 is preferably located within the receiving shaft 4, where the pivot point A is located. Otherwise, the embodiments differ according to Fig. 3 and 4 Not.
  • the present invention makes it possible to provide a motor-driven clutch in a simple manner, while at the same time it remains possible to exchange the relevant clutch for a clutch from another manufacturer. As a result, a very high versatility is achieved.
