Im Gehäuse ist beispielsweise ein Aufnahmeraum fĂ¼r eine oder mehrere Kartuschen vorgesehen, aus der oder denen durch das Auspressteil die Substanz ausbringbar, insbesondere auspressbar, ist. Insbesondere bei vorgegebenen Anwendungen, beispielsweise chemischen DĂ¼beln, ist die auszubringende Dosiermenge der Substanz pro Element, insbesondere einem chemischen DĂ¼bel definiert. Die Dosiervorrichtung gewährleistet einem Anwender des Auspressgerätes dadurch die vorgegebene Dosiermenge präzise und zeitsparend, beispielsweise in ein Bohrloch abzugeben. Zum Einstellen, insbesondere Justieren, der Dosiermenge weist die Dosiervorrichtung ein Stellmittel auf.Auspressgeräte the above type are used for metered dispensing a substance, such as a cartridge or a tubular bag. The substance has, for example, one or more components stored in one or more cartridges. The dispensing device has a housing, a squeezing device and a metering device. In the housing, for example, a receiving space for one or more cartridges is provided, from which or which by the Auspressteil the substance ausbringbar, in particular auspressbar is.

Aus der
Nachteilig an der bekannten Lösung ist, dass der festschraubbare Anschlag durch die RĂ¼ckstellvorrichtung zumindest teilweise verschoben, und dadurch die gewählte Dosiermenge verändert werden kann.A disadvantage of the known solution is that the festschraubbare stop by the reset device at least partially moved, and thereby the selected dosage can be changed.
Ausserdem ist an der bekannten Lösung nachteilig, dass das Einstellen der Dosiermenge durch das Stellteil unhandlich und unzureichend präzise ist.In addition, it is disadvantageous to the known solution that the adjustment of the dosing by the control part is unwieldy and insufficiently accurate.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein wirtschaftlich herstellbares Auspressgerät zu schaffen, das eine präzise und handliche Einstellung der Dosiermenge sicherstellt und ferner eine ungewollte Veränderung der Dosiermenge verhindert.The present invention has for its object to provide an economically producible Auspressgerät that ensures a precise and handy adjustment of the dosage and also prevents unwanted change in the dosage.
Erfindungsgemäss wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Dosiervorrichtung einen Bewegungswandler aufweist, der durch die Bewegung des Auspressteils in Längsrichtung desselben das Mitnehmerteil gegenĂ¼ber dem Gehäuse verschwenkt.According to the invention the object is achieved in that the metering device has a motion converter which pivots the driver part relative to the housing by the movement of the Auspressteils in the longitudinal direction thereof.
Dadurch, dass der Mitnehmerteil durch die Bewegung des Auspressteils verschwenkt oder verdreht wird, ist eine präzise Dosierung gewährleistet. Je nach Anwendung und Rahmenbedingungen ist das Auspressgerät, insbesondere der Bewegungswandler, so auszulegen, dass eine ausreichend präzise Dosierung erfolgt. Vor allem bei kleineren Mengen stellt der Bewegungswandler eine dementsprechend an den, durch das Auspressteil zurĂ¼ckzulegenden Weg und somit der ausgepressten Substanz entsprechend angepasste Drehbewegung des Mitnehmerteils sicher. Vorteilhafterweise verschwenkt, beziehungsweise verdreht das Mitnehmerteil um einen gewissen Winkelbetrag, um eine kompakte Bauweise des Auspressgerätes, insbesondere der Dosiervorrichtung zu gewährleisten.Characterized in that the driver part is pivoted or rotated by the movement of the squeeze, a precise dosage is guaranteed. Depending on the application and the framework conditions, the dispensing device, in particular the motion converter, must be designed so that a sufficiently precise dispensing takes place. Especially with smaller quantities, the motion converter accordingly ensures a rotational movement of the driver part which is correspondingly adapted to the path to be covered by the press-out part and thus to the extruded substance. Advantageously, the driver part is pivoted or rotated by a certain angle in order to ensure a compact design of the dispensing device, in particular of the dispensing device.
Vorteilhafterweise weist der Bewegungswandler eine Drallwelle und ein, mit der Drallwelle zusammenwirkendes, Mutterteil auf, wobei ein Teil am Mitnehmerteil und das andere Teil am Auspressteil angeordnet ist, um eine wirtschaftliche Herstellung des Bewegungswandlers sicherzustellen. Durch eine translatorische Relativbewegung in Längsrichtung zum Auspressteil des Mutterteils gegenĂ¼ber der Drallwelle verdrehen sich beide Teil gegeneinander in Abhängigkeit zur zurĂ¼ckgelegten Strecke des Auspressteils, wobei sich die Drallwelle verdreht oder verschwenkt. Durch die Verwendung beispielsweise einer handelsĂ¼blichen Drallwelle und eines entsprechenden Mutterteils ist eine wirtschaftliche Herstellung des Bewegungswandlers sichergestellt.Advantageously, the motion converter has a swirl shaft and a nut part interacting with the swirl shaft, one part being arranged on the driver part and the other part on the press part in order to ensure an economical production of the motion converter. By a translational relative movement in the longitudinal direction to the pressing part of the nut member relative to the swirl shaft, both parts rotate against each other in dependence on the distance traveled by the pressing part, wherein the swirl shaft is rotated or pivoted. By using, for example, a commercially available swirl shaft and a corresponding female part an economic production of the motion converter is ensured.
Das Mitnehmerteil weist einen Ruheanschlag und einen Endanschlag auf, wobei der Endanschlag zur Aktivierung der RĂ¼ckstellvorrichtung dient und der Ruheanschlag die Ausgangsposition des Mitnehmerteils definiert. Der Verdrehwinkel zwischen dem Ruheanschlag und dem Endanschlag legt die Dosiermenge fest. Bei einem Auspressvorgang einer Dosiermenge der Substanz durch das Auspressteil bewegt sich das Mitnehmerteil aus der Ausgangsposition durch eine Schwenkbewegung oder Drehbewegung bis zum Endanschlag. Je nach Umsetzung der Drehbewegung durch den Bewegungswandler in die Translationsbewegung des Auspressteils legt das Auspressteil eine entsprechende Strecke in Längsrichtung desselben synchron zum Mitnehmerteil zurĂ¼ck. Die Aktivierung der RĂ¼ckstellvorrichtung bewirkt eine Verdrehung oder Verschwenkung des Mitnehmerteils zurĂ¼ck in die Ausgangsposition, ohne dabei das Auspressteil gegenĂ¼ber dem Gehäuse in Längsrichtung zu bewegen.The driver part has a rest stop and an end stop, wherein the end stop is used to activate the restoring device and the rest stop defines the starting position of the driver part. The angle of rotation between the rest stop and the end stop determines the dosage. In a Auspressvorgang a Dosiermenge of the substance through the Auspressteil the driver member moves from the starting position by a pivoting movement or rotational movement to the end stop. Depending on the implementation of the rotational movement by the motion converter in the translational movement of the pressing part, the pressing part lays a corresponding distance in the longitudinal direction thereof synchronously with the driver part. The activation of the restoring device causes a rotation or pivoting of the driver part back to the starting position, without moving the squeezing with respect to the housing in the longitudinal direction.
Um eine wirtschaftlich herstellbare Dosiervorrichtung, die handlich ist zu gewährleisten, sind der Ruheanschlag und der Endanschlag vorzugsweise durch das Stellglied gegeneinander feststellbar verdrehbar und damit die Dosiermenge justierbar.In order to ensure an economically producible metering device, which is handy, the rest stop and the end stop are preferably detectably rotatable against each other by the actuator and thus the metered amount adjustable.
Der Endanschlag ist vorteilhafterweise am Mitnehmerteil angeordnet, um eine wirtschaftliche Herstellung des Dosiervorrichtung und eine hohe Standzeit sicherzustellen.The end stop is advantageously arranged on the driver part to ensure economical production of the metering device and a long service life.
Ferner ist der Ruheanschlag vorzugsweise drehbar im Gehäuse gelagert, um eine handliche und präzise Justierung der Dosiervorrichtung sicherzustellen.Furthermore, the rest stop is preferably rotatably mounted in the housing to ensure a handy and precise adjustment of the metering device.
Vorteilhafterweise weist die Dosiervorrichtung eine Schlingfeder auf, die durch das Stellteil drehbar im Gehäuse gelagert ist und als Gegenanschlag mit dem Ruheanschlag wirkt.Advantageously, the metering device has a wrap spring, which is rotatably supported in the housing by the actuating part and acts as a counter-stop with the rest stop.
Die Schlingfeder ist vorzugsweise durch das Stellteil unter Zugbelastung verdrehbar, um eine leichte und damit handliche Verdrehbarkeit des Ruheanschlags des Mitnehmerteils sicherzustellen. Nach der Verdrehung fixiert sich die Schlingfeder wieder durch die eigene Federkraft, die zu einem radialen Ausweiten und dadurch zu einem Festklemmen der Schlingfeder fĂ¼hrt. Vorteilhafterweise weist die Schlingfeder eine im Wesentlichen zylinderförmige Aussenkontur auf und ist in einer Bohrung im Gehäuse gelagert.The wrap spring is preferably rotated by the actuator under tensile load to ensure easy and thus handy twistability of the rest stop of the driver. After twisting, the wrap spring is fixed again by its own spring force, which leads to a radial expansion and thereby to a clamping of the wrap spring. Advantageously, the wrap spring has a substantially cylindrical outer contour and is mounted in a bore in the housing.
Vorzugsweise ist die Schlingfeder in Kontakt mit dem Ruheanschlag druckbelastbar, um bei einer Belastung durch den Ruheanschlag des Mitnehmerteils selbsthemmend zu wirken und dadurch eine ungewollte Verschiebung des Ruheanschlags gegenĂ¼ber dem Gehäuse zu verhindern.Preferably, the wrap spring is in contact with the rest stop pressure loadable to act self-locking at a load by the rest stop of the driver and thereby prevent unwanted displacement of the rest stop against the housing.
Der Bewegungswandler weist vorteilhafterweise eine Druckkupplung auf, die zwischen dem Auspressteil und dem Mitnehmerteil wirkt.The motion converter advantageously has a pressure coupling which acts between the extrusion part and the driver part.
Die Druckkupplung weist vorzugsweise eine Kupplungswelle, ein drehfest auf der Kupplungswelle angeordnetes Kupplungsteil und ein mit diesem kuppelbaren Gegenkupplungsteil auf, wobei das Gegenkupplungsteil drehfest mit dem Mitnehmerteil verbunden ist, um eine wirtschaftliche Herstellung der Druckkupplung sicherzustellen.The pressure coupling preferably has a coupling shaft, a coupling part arranged non-rotatably on the coupling shaft and a counter-coupling part which can be coupled thereto, the counter-coupling part being connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the driving part in order to ensure economic production of the pressure coupling.
Vorteilhafterweise weist das Gegenkupplungsteil eine, zumindest bereichsweise mit dem Kupplungsteil in Kontakt bringbare Membran auf, die wenigstens bereichsweise in einer ersten Druckkammer gelagert ist. Dadurch, dass die Druckkupplung eine, in einer Druckkammer gelagerte Membran aufweist, ist durch einem Ăœberdruck in der Druckkammer ein Einkuppeln der Druckkupplung zu gewährleisten. Insbesondere falls es sich um ein pneumatisches Auspressgerät handelt, ist diese AusfĂ¼hrung äusserst vorteilhaft.Advantageously, the counter-coupling part has a membrane, which can be brought into contact with the coupling part, at least in regions, which is mounted at least partially in a first pressure chamber. Characterized in that the pressure coupling has a, mounted in a pressure chamber membrane is to ensure by an overpressure in the pressure chamber engagement of the pressure coupling. In particular, if it is a pneumatic Auspressgerät, this embodiment is extremely advantageous.

Das als Kolbenstange ausgebildete Auspressteil 3 ist in Längsrichtung L desselben verschieblich im Gehäuse 1 gelagert. An einem freien Ende weist das Auspressteil 3 einen Arbeitskolben 6 auf, der fest mit dem Auspressteil 3 verbunden ist und Ă¼ber seinen gesamten Aussenumfang mehrere Dichtlippen 7 aufweist.The pressing part 3 designed as a piston rod is displaceably mounted in the
Ferner weist die Dosiervorrichtung 4 eine, eine zylinderförmige Aussenkontur aufweisende, Schlingfeder 20 auf, die durch das Stellteil 11 drehbar in einer Bohrung 39 im Gehäuse 1 gelagert ist und als Gegenanschlag mit dem Ruheanschlag 17 zusammenwirkt. Die Schlingfeder 20 ist durch das Stellteil 11 unter Zugbelastung verdrehbar in Kontakt mit dem Ruheanschlag 17 druckbelastbar.Further, the
Das Auspressteil 3 weist eine in Längsrichtung L mittig verlaufende Bohrung 30 zur Aufnahme der Drallwelle 15, die den Arbeitskolben 6 durch das drehfest im Arbeitskolben 6 gelagerte Mutterteil 16 durchgreift. Arbeitsrichtungsseitig abgewandt schliesst an den Arbeitskolben 6 eine im Gehäuse 1 angeordnete Druckkammer 31 an die einen Zuflusskanal 32 aufweist. Durch eine Erzeugung eines Ăœberdrucks in der Druckkammer 31, beispielsweise durch eine mit dem Zuflusskanal 32 verbundene, mittels einer Triggereinrichtung (hier nicht dargestellt) betätigte Ăœberdruckquelle, wird der Arbeitskolben 6 mit einer Kraft in Arbeitsrichtung A beaufschlagt und dadurch in Arbeitsrichtung A bewegt. Die in Arbeitsrichtung A weisende translatorische Bewegung des Arbeitskolbens 6, insbesondere des Auspressteils 3, fĂ¼hrt zum Ausbringen der Substanz und falls die Druckkupplung 22 in einem eingekuppelten Zustand ist, zu einem Verschwenken oder Verdrehen des Mitnehmerteils 12, bis durch den Endanschlag 18 die RĂ¼ckstellvorrichtung 10 aktiviert wird.The press-out part 3 has a
Die RĂ¼ckstellvorrichtung 10 weist eine, zwei freie Ende 35a, 35b umfassende, Torsionsfeder 35, die mit einem ersten Ende 35a am Gehäuse festgelegt ist und mit dem zweiten Ende 35b am Mitnehmerteil 12 festgelegt ist und ein EntlĂ¼ftungsventil 36 zum EntlĂ¼ften der Druckkammer 31.The
Die Druckkupplung 22 weist eine einteilig mit der Drallwelle 15 ausgebildete Kupplungswelle 23, einen drehfest auf der Kupplungswelle 23 angeordnete, scheibenförmigen Kupplungsteil 24 und einen, mit diesem kuppelbaren Gegenkupplungsteil 25 auf, wobei das Gegenkupplungsteil 25 drehfest mit dem Mitnehmerteil 12 verbunden ist. Das Gegenkupplungsteil 25 umschliesst scheibenförmigen Kupplungsteil 24. Das Gegenkupplungsteil 25 weist auf der arbeitsrichtungsseitigen Seite eine Dose 26, die einen vom Druckraum 31 abgekapselten Innenraum 12a ausbildet, und auf der gegenĂ¼berliegenden Seite eine Membran 27 auf. Das Gegenkupplungsteil 25 ist im ausgekuppelten Zustand der Druckkupplung 22 drehbar auf dem Kupplungsteil 24 gelagert. Das Gegenkupplungsteil 25 ist derart gegenĂ¼ber der Druckkammer 31 abgedichtet, dass ein Ăœberdruck in der Druckkammer 31 gegenĂ¼ber der Atmosphäre des Innenraums 12a zu einem reibschlĂ¼ssigen und/oder formschlĂ¼ssigen Anpressen des Gegenkupplungsteils 25, insbesondere der Membran 27 an das Kupplungsteil 24 fĂ¼hrt und dadurch das Mitnehmerteil 12 drehfest mit der Drallwelle 15 gekuppelt ist. Der drehfest mit dem Mitnehmerteil 12 verbundene Endanschlag 18 verschwenkt sich somit mit dem Mitnehmerteil 12 bis dieser das EntlĂ¼ftungsventil 36 aktiviert. Dadurch, dass die Druckkammer 31 entlĂ¼ftet ist, ist die Druckkupplung 22 im ausgekuppelten Zustand und das Mitnehmerteil 12 wird durch die Torsionsfeder 35 in ihre Ausgangsposition zurĂ¼ckgestellt, wobei die Drallwelle 15 in der Position verbleibt, da die Drallwelle 15 und das Mitnehmerteil 12 entkuppelt sind.The
Zur Einstellung der Dosiermenge wird das Stellteil 11 verdreht, insbesondere der Ruheanschlag 17 verdreht, siehe insbesondere
Ăœber das Stellteil 11 ist durch Verdrehen eine Freischaltposition wählbar, in der die Druckkupplung 22 ausgekuppelt ist und dadurch die Dosiervorrichtung 4 und die Dosiermenge freigeschaltet ist. Die Dosiervorrichtung 4 weist hierfĂ¼r eine, insgesamt mit 40 bezeichnete, Freischaltvorrichtung auf.By means of the adjusting
Beispielsweise weist die Freischaltvorrichtung 40 am zweiten Stellteil 11b eine, radial zur Längsachse L des Auspressteils 3 verlaufende, Querbohrung 41, ein Freischaltventil 42 und eine, am Gehäuse 1 angeordnete und mit dem Freischaltventil 42 zusammenwirkende, Freischaltkurve 43 auf. Durch Verdrehen des Stellteils 11, insbesondere des zweiten Stellteils 11b, gegenĂ¼ber dem Gehäuse 1 wird das Freischaltventil 42 auf der Freischaltkurve 43 versetzt. In einer Freischaltposition schaltet die Freischaltkurve 43 das Freischaltventil 43 frei und verbindet dadurch den durch das Gegenkupplungsteil 25 gebildeten Innenraum 12a mit der Druckkammer 31. Somit weist der Innenraum 12a des Gegenkupplungsteils 25 ungefähr denselben Druck auf wie der Druckraum 31 und kuppelt dadurch die Druckkupplung 22 aus. Die Verschiebung des Auspressteils 3 fĂ¼hrt in dieser ausgekuppelten Position der Druckkupplung 22 zu keiner Drehbewegung oder Verschwenkung des Mitnehmerteils 12. Vorteilhafterweise weist das Stellteil nur eine Freischaltposition auf und der Ă¼brige wird fĂ¼r eine Sperrposition genutzt, in der die Druckkammer 31 vom Innenraum 12a des Gegenkupplungsteils 25 durch das geschlossene Freischaltventil 42 getrennt ist.For example, the
