Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Werkzeug zum Binden von Gegenständen, insbesondere Kabelbäumen, gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a tool for binding objects, in particular cable harnesses, according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Bekannte Kabelbindewerkzeuge (EP-B 261 697), enthalten einen Bandvorschubkanal zum Vorschieben eines Bandes zu dem zu bindenden Gegenstand. Der Bandvorschubkanal ist auf einer Seite von einem Schrittförderer begrenzt, der zum Einzug eines die Bänder nebeneinander enthaltenden Magazinstreifens bestimmt ist. Dabei ist es auch bekannt, einen Teil des Werkzeugkörpers abklappbar derart zu gestalten, daß der Bereich zugänglich wird, in welchem der Magazinstreifen zum Bandvorschubkanal gefördert wird. Dies soll es ermöglichen, etwaige Störungen zu beseitigen.Known cable tie tools (EP-B 261 697) contain one Tape feed channel for feeding a tape to the one to be bound Object. The tape feed channel is on one side limited by a step conveyor that is used to feed a Determined tapes containing side by side magazine strips is. It is also known to be part of the tool body foldable so that the area is accessible in which the magazine strip becomes the tape feed channel is promoted. This should make it possible to avoid any disruptions to eliminate.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Werkzeug zu schaffen, bei dem die störungsgefährdeten Bereiche leichter zugänglich sind.The invention has for its object a tool create where the areas at risk of interference easier are accessible.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht in den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und vorzugsweise denjenigen der Unteransprüche. Danach ist vorgesehen, daß der Schrittförderer und der Werkzeugkörper leicht voneinander trennbar ausgebildet sind. Anders ausgedrückt, sind die Trennflächen, die nach dem Abheben eines Werkzeugteils vom anderen zugänglich werden, durch den Bandvorschubkanal gelegt.The solution according to the invention consists in the features of the claim 1 and preferably that of the subclaims. After that it is provided that the step conveyor and the tool body are easily separable. Different expressed, the partitions are after the take off one part of the tool becomes accessible through the other Belt feed channel laid.

Vorzugsweise ist der Schrittförderer von dem Werkzeug abklappbar. Er besteht zweckmäßigerweise aus einem mit dem Werkzeugkörper abnehmbar verbundenen bzw. abklappbaren Gehäuse, einer Einzugstrommel mit zwischen aufeinanderfolgende Bänder des Magazinstreifens fassenden Vorsprüngen am Umfang und einer Rasteinrichtung zum Sichern der Einzugstrommel in einer Ruheposition. Die Rasteinrichtung soll dafür sorgen, daß die Einzugstrommel nach dem Abnehmen bzw. Abklappen des Schrittförderers vom Werkzeugkörper genau dieselbe Stellung wie vorher hat.The step conveyor can preferably be folded down from the tool. It expediently consists of one with the Tool body detachably connected or hinged housing, a feed drum with between successive Ridges of the magazine strip holding projections on the circumference and a locking device for securing the feed drum in a rest position. The locking device should ensure that the feed drum after removing or folding the Step conveyor from the tool body in exactly the same position as before.

Alle dem Antrieb dienenden Einrichtungen sind zweckmäßigerweise im Werkzeugkörper vereinigt. Das bedeutet, daß die Antriebsbewegung für die Einzugstrommel vom Werkzeugkörper auf den Schrittförderer übertragen werden muß. Dafür werden zweckmäßigerweise Nockenpaare vorgesehen, d. h. je ein am Werkzeugkörper angeordneter Nocken setzt einen am Schrittförderer vorgesehenen Nocken in Bewegung. Darunter fällt auch eine Verzahnung, die jeweils eine Vielzahl solcher Nocken (Zähne) hintereinander enthält. Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Ausführung, bei der vom Werkzeugkörper eine Zahnstange in den Bereich eines am Schrittförderer angeordneten und mit der Einzugstrommel nur in der Vorschubrichtung drehverbundenen Zahnrads quer zur Trennfläche vorragt.All devices serving to drive the unit are expedient united in the tool body. That means the drive movement for the feed drum from the tool body the step conveyor must be transferred. For that be conveniently provided pairs of cams, d. H. one each on Tool body arranged cams one on the step conveyor provided cams in motion. This also includes a toothing, each of a variety of such cams (Teeth) in a row. One is particularly advantageous Version in which a toothed rack from the tool body the area of a arranged on the step conveyor and with the Feed drum only rotationally connected in the feed direction Gear protrudes across the parting surface.

Der Nocken- bzw. Verzahnungseingriff sollte so gestaltet sein, daß die Position der Einzugstrommel sich nicht infolge der Relativbewegung der Nocken zueinander verändert, die beim Abklappen des Schrittförderers vom Werkzeugkörper stattfindet. Wenn diese Relativbewegung des Zahnrades in der Richtung stattfindet, die nicht die Vorschubrichtung ist, ist dies belanglos, weil es in dieser Richtung keinen Drehantrieb auf die Trommel ausübt. In der anderen Richtung sollte es sich nur bei der Öffnungsbewegung drehen können, damit die Rasteinrichtung nach dem Öffnen die Trommel wieder in die richtige Stellung bringen kann. Statt dessen kann auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Richtung der zusammenwirkenden Flanken der Nockenpaare etwa in Richtung eines Kreisbogens um die Klappachse des Schrittförderers verläuft, so daß die Flanken beim Zurückschwenken des Schrittförderers zum Werkzeugkörper hin parallel aneinander entlanggleiten, oder sich voneinander entfernen.The cam or gear engagement should be designed in this way be that the position of the feed drum does not change as a result the relative movement of the cams to each other changed when The step conveyor is folded down from the tool body. If this relative movement of the gear in the direction takes place that is not the feed direction, this is irrelevant, because there is no rotary drive in this direction exercises the drum. In the other direction it should be can only rotate during the opening movement, so that the locking device after opening the drum back into the correct one Position. Instead, can also be provided be the direction of the interacting flanks of the cam pairs approximately in the direction of an arc around the folding axis the step conveyor runs so that the flanks when pivoting back the step conveyor towards the tool body slide parallel to each other, or each other remove.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden näher unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen erläutert, die ein vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel veranschaulichen. Es zeigen:

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings which illustrate an advantageous embodiment. Show it:
Fig. 1
an overall perspective view of the tool; and
Fig. 2
a cross section through the upper region of the tool.

Das Werkzeug 1 umfaßt einen langgestreckten Werkzeugkörper 2, der mittels eines Handgriffs 3 pistolenartig gehalten werden kann und dessen Bindefunktion mittels eines am Handgriff 3 vorgesehenen Hebels oder Schiebers ausgelöst wird. Am vorderen Ende trägt er eine Umschlingungszange 5, die das jeweils bindende Band um den zu bindenden Gegenstand führt. Am Rücken des Werkzeugkörpers 2 ist innerhalb eines besonderen Trommelgehäuses 6 eine Einzugstrommel 7 parallel zur Längsrichtung des Werkzeugkörpers 2 drehbar gelagert. Das Trommelgehäuse 6 ist bei 8 schwenkbar am Werkzeugkörper 2 gelagert, wobei das Trommelgehäuse 6 und der Werkzeugkörper 2 in der geschlossenen Stellung durch geeignete Rasteinrichtungen 9 fest miteinander verbunden sind. Werden die Rasteinrichtungen 9 gelöst, so kann das Trommelgehäuse 6 mit der darin gelegenen Anordnung von dem Werkzeugkörper 2 abgeschwenkt werden. Die im geschlossenen Zustand einander gegenüberliegenden Trennflächen 10 und 11 des Trommelgehäuses bzw. des Werkzeugkörpers 11 liegen dann frei.The tool 1 comprises an elongated tool body 2, which are held in a pistol-like manner by means of a handle 3 can and its binding function by means of a handle 3 provided lever or slide is triggered. On the front At the end he wears a pair of loop pliers 5, each of which binding band around the object to be bound. On the back the tool body 2 is inside a special drum housing 6 a feed drum 7 parallel to the longitudinal direction of the tool body 2 rotatably mounted. The drum housing 6 is pivoted at 8 on the tool body 2, which Drum housing 6 and the tool body 2 in the closed Position with suitable locking devices 9 firmly together are connected. If the locking devices 9 are released, so can the drum housing 6 with the arrangement located therein be pivoted away from the tool body 2. The one in the closed State of opposing parting surfaces 10 and 11 of the drum housing and the tool body 11 are then free.

In diesen Trennflächen 10, 11 ist der Bandvorschubkanal 12 gelegen, durch den jeweils ein Band durch nicht gezeigte Vorschubmittel zur Umschlingungszange 5 vorgeschoben werden kann, um einen zu bindenden Gegenstand zu umschlingen. Dieser Kanal wird einerseits von dem Werkzeugkörper 2 und andererseits von einer der Ausnehmungen 13 zwischen Umfangsvorsprüngen 14 der Einzugstrommel 7 gebildet. Diese wird von Bindevorgang zu Bindevorgang durch eine später zu erläuternde Antriebseinrichtung jeweils um einen der Teilung der Vorsprünge 14 entsprechenden Winkelabstand im Uhrzeigersinn weitergeschaltet, um jeweils ein neues Band in die bindebereite Stellung im Vorschubkanal 12 zu bringen. Die Bänder sind innerhalb eines nicht dargestellten Magazinstreifens gehalten und werden in bekannter Weise während ihres Förderwegs in den Ausnehmungen 13 der Trommel 7 voneinander oder von einem sie verbindenden, durchlaufenden Strang getrennt.The band feed channel 12 is located in these separating surfaces 10, 11 located, through which a band by feed means, not shown to be advanced to the looping pliers 5 can wrap around an object to be bound. This Channel is on the one hand by the tool body 2 and on the other hand from one of the recesses 13 between circumferential projections 14 of the feed drum 7 is formed. This is done by binding for binding process by a drive device to be explained later each by one of the division of the projections 14 switched the corresponding angular distance clockwise, one new band each in the ready-to-tie position to bring in the feed channel 12. The bands are inside held a magazine strip, not shown, and are known in the course of their funding in the Recesses 13 of the drum 7 from each other or from one of them connecting, continuous strand separated.

Die korrekte Lage des Bandes im Bandvorschubkanal ist von der Stellung der Einzugstrommel 7 abhängig. Es ist deshalb eine Rastvorrichtung vorgesehen, die die korrekte Ruhestellung der Einzugstrommel sichert. Diese Rasteinrichtung wird einerseits von den Vorsprüngen 14 der Trommel und andererseits von einer Rolle 15 gebildet, die an einem Hebel 16 angeordnet ist, der um eine am Trommelgehäuse feste Achse 17 schwenkbar ist und durch Federkraft im Gegenuhrzeigersinn beaufschlagt ist. Er kann mit einem Fortsatz 18 versehen sein, der im vorliegenden Fall in den Bereich des Werkzeugkörpers 2 hinabragt, um dort mit einem Endschalter oder dergleichen zusammenzuwirken, der die korrekte Raststellung des Hebels 16 und damit auch die korrekte Ruhestellung der Einzugstrommel 7 feststellt und im Falle einer unkorrekten Position das Werkzeug anhält.The correct position of the tape in the tape feed channel is from Position of the feed drum 7 dependent. It is therefore one Detent provided that the correct rest position of the Feed drum secures. This locking device is one hand from the projections 14 of the drum and on the other hand from one Roll 15 formed, which is arranged on a lever 16, the is pivotable about an axis 17 fixed to the drum housing and is acted upon by spring force in a counterclockwise direction. He can be provided with an extension 18, which in the present Fall down into the area of the tool body 2 to there to cooperate with a limit switch or the like the correct locking position of the lever 16 and thus the detects correct position of the feed drum 7 and in In the event of an incorrect position, the tool stops.

An der Einzugstrommel 7 ist koaxial damit ein Zahnrad 20 gelagert, das gegenüber der Trommel 7 drehbar ist. Undrehbar verbunden mit der Trommel ist ein Zahnrad 21, in dessen Zahnumfang eine Knagge 22 eingreift, die fest mit dem Zahnrad 20 verbunden ist. In die Zähne des Zahnrads 20 greift eine Zahnstange 23 ein, die aus dem Werkzeugkörper in den Bereich der Trommel hochragt. Sie ist hin- und hergehend angetrieben, um den Schrittvorschub der Einzugstrommel zu bewirken. Bewegt sie sich nach unten, so dreht sie das Zahnrad 21 im Uhrzeigersinn. Da bei dieser Drehrichtung die Zahnräder 20, 21 durch die Knagge 22 drehfest miteinander verbunden sind, dreht sich auch die Trommel, wobei sich einer ihrer Vorsprünge unter der Rastrolle 15 hindurchbewegt. Diese rastet dann zwischen dem nächsten Vorsprungspaar wieder ein. Die Hubbewegung der Zahnstange 23 bleibt für die Einzugstrommel folgenlos, weil dabei das im Gegenuhrzeigersinn bewegte Zahnrad 20 nicht mit dem Zahnrad 21 drehverbunden ist.A gear wheel 20 is mounted coaxially on the feed drum 7, which is rotatable relative to the drum 7. Non-rotating connected to the drum is a gear 21, in the tooth circumference a lug 22 engages with the gear 20 connected is. A toothed rack engages in the teeth of the gear wheel 20 23 a, which from the tool body in the area of Raised drum. It is driven back and forth to to effect the step feed of the feed drum. Emotional it down, it turns the gear 21 clockwise. Since the gears 20, 21 are non-rotatably connected by the lug 22, the drum also rotates, with one of its protrusions moved under the locking roller 15. This then snaps between the next pair of ledges. The lifting movement the rack 23 remains without consequences for the feed drum, because the gear 20 moving counterclockwise is not rotationally connected to the gear 21.

Wird das Trommelgehäuse 6 vom Werkzeugkörper 2 um die Klappachse 8 weggeklappt, so bewegen sich die im Eingriff mit der Zahnstange 23 befindenden Zähne des Zahnrads 20 in Pfeilrichtung 24; das ist die Richtung eines Kreisbogens um die Achse 8. Wenn die oberen Flanken der Zähne des Zahnrads 20 und die unteren Flanken der Zahnstangenzähne etwa in der Richtung des Pfeils 24 verlaufen, gleiten sie bei der Klappbewegung aneinander parallel entlang, ohne daß es zu einer praktisch erheblichen gegenseitigen Verdrängung kommt. Die Einzugstrommel 7 und die Zahnstange 23 können daher ihre gegenseitige Stellung beibehalten, wenn das Trommelgehäuse abgeklappt bzw. wieder geschlossen wird. Wenn diese geometrische Bedingung nicht erfüllt ist, und das Zahnrad 20 beim Öffnen ein wenig im Uhrzeigersinn gedreht wird, schadet dies nicht, da die Trommel durch die Rasteinrichtung 14, 15 sofort in die Ruheposition zurückgedreht wird, sobald die Zähne der Zahnstange 23 und des Zahnrads 20 nicht mehr miteinander in Eingriff sind. Beim Zurückklappen kann es geschehen, daß ein Zahn des Zahnrads 20 nicht in die Zahnlücke der Zahnstange 23 gelangt, in der er vor dem Aufklappen gewesen war, und das Zahnrad 20 ein wenig im Gegenuhrzeigersinn verdreht wird. Dies wirkt sich aber nicht auf die Trommelposition aus, weil sie in dieser Richtung nicht mit dem Zahnrad 20 drehverbunden ist.The drum housing 6 of the tool body 2 about the folding axis 8 folded away, they move in engagement with the Rack 23 teeth of the gear 20 in the direction of the arrow 24; this is the direction of an arc around the axis 8. When the upper flanks of the teeth of the gear 20 and the lower flanks of the rack teeth roughly in the direction of the Arrow 24 run, they slide together when folding in parallel along without being practically significant mutual displacement comes. The feed drum 7 and the rack 23 can therefore their mutual position maintained when the drum housing is folded down or again is closed. If this geometric condition is not met and the gear 20 a little clockwise when opening is rotated, it does no harm since the drum by the locking device 14, 15 immediately in the rest position is turned back as soon as the teeth of the rack 23 and of the gear 20 are no longer in engagement with each other. At the It can happen that a tooth of the gearwheel 20 does not get into the tooth space of the rack 23 in which it had been open before, and the gear 20 a little is turned counterclockwise. But this has an effect not on the drum position because it is in this direction is not rotationally connected to the gear 20.
