Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drive unit for use with a press loop for pressing two workpieces and to a system with such a drive unit and such a press loop.
  • a press loop is known in which several press elements are connected to one another in an articulated and chain-like manner by means of bolts.
  • Each press element has several press loop segments arranged in parallel, which extend from one bolt to the next bolt.
  • the press loop segments of successive press elements of the press loop are arranged offset. The force is transferred from one press element to the next via the press loop segments.
  • a connecting bolt is provided with each of the first pressing element and the last pressing element.
  • a drive unit in particular an electro-hydraulic drive unit, can be connected to this connecting bolt.
  • the drive unit has a pressing tongs with two jaws.
  • the jaws of the pressing tongs can be moved towards each other by means of a drive of the drive unit.
  • the jaws each have a recess for receiving a connecting bolt, so that the movement of the jaws is transferred to the pressing loop.
  • the pressing loop must be connected by the user himself to the pressing tongs of the drive unit, in particular by inserting the connecting bolts into the respective recess of the drive unit. This can lead to errors, in particular because the recess can be covered by a pressing loop segment, so that a visual inspection of the It may be difficult or impossible to ensure that the connecting bolt is correctly seated in the respective recess.
  • the connecting bolt is not fully inserted into the recess in the jaw, this can lead to damage to the jaw of the pressing pliers, even to complete destruction or, if the connecting bolt suddenly comes loose from the recess in the jaw, there is even a risk of injury to the user.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a drive unit in which a secure connection with a press loop is guaranteed.
  • the object is achieved by the drive unit for use with a press loop for pressing two workpieces according to claim 1 and by the system with such a drive unit and a corresponding press loop according to claim 6.
  • the drive unit according to the invention for use with a press loop for pressing two workpieces has a drive and a press tongs connected to the drive, the press tongs having two jaws.
  • the drive By means of the drive, the jaws of the press tongs can be moved towards each other to close the press loop and press the two workpieces.
  • the two jaws each have a first connecting element for connection to a second connecting element of a press loop. This ensures that the force of the drive is transmitted via the press tongs to the press loop.
  • at least one of the first connecting elements is at least partially surrounded by a marking. In particular, at least one of the first connecting elements is completely surrounded by a marking.
  • the marking makes it easier to estimate the relative position between the second connecting element of the press loop and the first connecting element of the jaws of the press tongs. The user can thus visually ensure that the second connecting element is correctly and completely connected to the first Connecting element is guaranteed due to the visual indication provided by the marking.
  • the size of the marking is adapted to a press loop segment of the press loop, wherein the marking is only completely covered by the press loop segment if the second connecting element of the press loop is completely connected to the first connecting element.
  • the press loop segment which is connected to the second connecting element of the press loop, has a known width. If the second connecting element of the press loop is now connected to the first connecting element of the jaw of the drive unit, the press loop segment completely covers the marking. This provides the user with a visual indication. As long as the marking is still visible, the second connecting element of the press loop is not completely connected to the first connecting element of the jaw. Only when the marking is completely covered by the press loop segment is a secure connection of the second connecting element to the first connecting element of the jaw ensured. This provides the user with a simple and clear indication that ensures the safe use of the press loop with the drive unit.
  • both first connecting elements are each surrounded by a marking so that the secure fit of both second connecting elements of the press loop in the respective first connecting elements is clearly visible.
  • the first connecting element is designed as a recess, in particular for receiving a second connecting element designed as a connecting bolt or the like.
  • the first connecting element is designed as a pin, projection or the like, which can be connected to a second connecting element of the press loop, in particular designed as a recess.
  • the marking is preferably a color marking, a surface embossing, a sticker or a lasered surface structure.
  • Surface embossing and lasered surface structures in particular have the advantage that they cannot be rubbed off and are therefore permanently applied to the jaw of the pressing pliers.
  • the marking is surrounded by a further marking.
  • the further marking is arranged radially around the original marking.
  • the further marking has a size that is only completely covered by a press loop segment of a further press loop if a third connecting element of the further press loop is completely connected to the first connecting element.
  • the further marking thus makes it possible to use a different press loop whose press loop segments have a different dimension.
  • the original first marking must be completely covered for a first press loop, whereas the further marking must be completely covered for a second further press loop.
  • the present invention further relates to a system with a drive unit as described above and a press loop for connection to the drive unit.
  • the press loop has several press elements that are connected to one another in a chain-like manner by means of bolts. Each press element has several press loop segments arranged in parallel, which extend from one bolt to the next bolt of the respective press element.
  • a second connecting element is provided on the first press element and the last press element of the press loop for connection to the first connecting element of the drive unit.
  • the press loop segments are each plate-shaped and extend laterally over the second connecting element and also the respective bolts between the press elements.
  • the drive unit is connected to the respective second connecting element below the respective uppermost pressing loop segment.
  • the uppermost pressing loop segment of the pressing loop covers the first connecting element of the jaw in a top view. If the second connecting element is correctly and completely connected to the first connecting element of the jaw, at least the uppermost pressing loop segment also completely covers the intended marking.
  • the jaw of the pressing tongs engages between two pressing loop segments and is connected to the second connecting element of the pressing loop between these two pressing loop segments.
  • the system has a plurality of different press loops, wherein all press loops are identical in the area of the respective connecting elements, i.e. the lateral extension of the respective press loop segments is identical, so that due to complete coverage of the marking by the respective press loop segment of the different press loops, it can be concluded that the second connecting element is correctly connected to the first connecting element of the jaw.
  • the system has a plurality of different press loops, wherein at least two press loops are designed differently in the region of the respective second connecting elements, so that a first marking is covered by a press loop segment of a first press loop, whereas a further marking, which in particular covers the first marking is covered by a press loop segment of another press loop.
  • FIG. 1 shows the drive unit 10 and the pressing loop 12.
  • the drive unit 10 has a drive (not shown), which can be designed in particular to be electrohydraulic.
  • the drive moves a piston 14, whereby jaws 16 of a pressing tongs 18 are moved about respective axes of rotation 19, so that the end of the pressing tongs 18 facing away from the drive moves the jaws 16 towards each other in accordance with the arrows 22.
  • the jaws 16 have first connecting elements, which are designed as recesses 24 ( Figure 2 ), for connection to second connecting elements of the press loop 12, designed as connecting bolts 26.
  • first connecting element and the second connecting element can have other shapes, whereby the shape of the first connecting element and the second connecting element is always designed to ensure a power transmission from the drive unit 10 to the press loop 12.
  • first connecting element and the second connecting element have congruent shapes in order to at least partially To create a positive connection.
  • the press loop 12 has in the example of Figure 1 three pressing elements 28, which are connected to one another in a chain-like and articulated manner via bolts 30.
  • the pressing elements 28 have a common pressing surface 32 on the inside, which comes into contact with the workpieces 33 in order to press the workpieces 33.
  • the pressing elements 28 also have pressing loop segments 34, which extend between the bolts 26, 30.
  • the pressing loop segments 34 are in particular plate-shaped.
  • the jaw 16 of the pressing tongs 18 engages below the uppermost pressing loop segment 34 to connect the recess 24 of the jaw 16 to the respective connecting bolt 26, so that part of the jaw 16 is covered by the uppermost pressing loop segment 34.
  • the jaws 16 of the pressing tongs 18 are moved towards each other according to the arrows 22. This movement is transmitted to the pressing loop 12 via the connecting bolts 26, whereby the radius of the pressing loop 12 is reduced and thus the workpieces 33 are pressed.
  • the recess 24 is at least partially and in particular completely surrounded by a marking 36.
  • This marking has a size which is adapted to the size of the press loop segments 34 of the press loop 12.
  • the press loop segment 34 completely covers the marking 36 when the connecting bolt 26 is correctly seated in the recess 24 of the jaw 16. This gives the user a visual indication that the connecting bolt 26 is correctly positioned in the recess 24 and thus safe handling of the system is ensured.
  • Figure 3B shows the situation when the connecting bolt 26 is not correctly in the recess 24. Furthermore, the press loop segment 34 of the press loop 12 partially covers the jaw 16, so that the recess 24 is difficult or impossible for the user to see. Checking that the connecting bolt 26 is correctly seated in the recess 24 is therefore difficult. However, by applying the marking 36, the user can clearly and immediately see that the connecting bolt has not yet been completely and correctly seated in the recess 24. The user is thus given the opportunity to adjust the seat of the connecting bolt 26 and in particular the connection of the press loop 12 to the drive unit 10. Damage to the jaw 16 or injury to the user is thus avoided.
