Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bending tool for insertion into a tool holder and elements for securing this bending tool, as indicated in the independent claim 1.
  • bending tools versions are known in which the bending tool can be used with the aid of a quick-release system from below into the tool holder, whereby it does not have to be inserted laterally in this and is moved by moving into the intended position.
  • a securing element is provided which prevents lateral slipping in the tool holder in the untensioned state.
  • a bending tool is known, which includes a locking element to be able to be inserted from below into a tool holder and also to be removed from the tool holder again down. This locking element is actuated by means of a push button, which is mounted laterally on the bending tool.
  • a clamping element is designed to secure the bending tool used in the tool holder in the horizontal direction against slipping.
  • the clamping element acts due to a lateral application of a force, and thus friction against the tool holder.
  • the actuation of this securing element via a further actuating element, which is mounted laterally on the bending tool. Consequently, in order to insert a bending tool into the tool holder, both operating elements mounted on the side of the bending element must be pressed by the operator.
  • a disadvantage of the known design is that for insertion of the bending tool always both actuators must be pressed. Thus, the freedom of action of the operator for additional actions and actions is extremely limited. Furthermore, it is considered to be disadvantageous that, if not both actuators are pressed simultaneously and completely, it may come to a one-sided jamming of the bending tool, which may happen that the bending tool is inserted obliquely and thus in an undefined position in the tool holder. Is the operator now careless and leaves that When the tool is released, it may cause the bending tool to fall and cause injury to the operator.
  • the present invention has for its object to further develop a bending tool for rapid insertion into a tool holder so that it is easy and simple to use, and that any security risks are reduced as possible by unfavorable jamming. Even with automated production, it is absolutely necessary that a bending tool, which is used by a manipulator in the tool holder, is no longer unintentionally changed in its position in the tool holder after the insertion process. This is all the more necessary the more accurate the parts produced are.
  • a bending tool is designed for insertion into a tool holder.
  • This comprises a tool body, a locking element coupled to an actuating element accessible outside the tool receptacle and having a locking nose for securing the bending tool in the tool receptacle by engagement with a recess arranged therein, wherein a basic position of the actuating element with an unlocking position of the locking element and an actuating position of the actuating element with a Locking position of the locking element corresponds.
  • a tool position securing element displaceably mounted in the tool body is provided which, in a securing position projecting beyond the tool body, establishes a connection for fixing the position of the tool body with respect to a displacement direction in the tool receptacle.
  • Both the locking element and the tool position assurance element are coupled to the same actuating element.
  • An advantage of the embodiment of the invention is that both a locking element is present, which secures the tool against falling out of the tool holder, and which can be moved away for easy removal of the tool from this tool holder, as well as a tool position securing element which secures the tool against slipping in the tool holder. It is particularly advantageous here that both the locking element and the tool position securing element can be moved together by means of only one actuating element.
  • the tool position securing element is coupled via the locking element with the actuating element.
  • the advantage here is that the locking element, which is moved by the actuating element is used for transmitting the movement to the tool position securing element, and thus no further
  • the locking element and the tool position securing element may be coupled to one another in a coupled manner via a mechanical connection.
  • the advantage here is that a mechanical connection manufacturing technology is easy to manufacture, and that this is also less error prone.
  • the locking element and the istpositionssichungselement are movement-coupled to each other by a substantially incompressible fluid.
  • the advantage here is that no structural restrictions by transmission elements in the tool are necessary by the operation by means of a fluid.
  • the power transmission happens through the fluid in that the actuator over an active surface transfers the force to the fluid, thereby pressurizing it.
  • the pressure of the fluid is transmitted via channels or lines in the bending tool on the active surfaces of the locking element or the tool position securing element and there applied thus a force which can be converted into a movement.
  • the tool position securing element has a friction surface for producing a frictional connection with the tool holder.
  • the advantage here is that by the production of a non-positive connection between the bending tool and tool holder by means of a friction surface, the bending tool can be positioned in any position along the tool holder.
  • the tool position securing element is biased by a spring element in the direction of the securing position.
  • the tool position securing element is in its securing position. It must therefore be released only the operating knob of the actuator to fix the bending tool in position and secure.
  • the spring element is a leaf spring, which is oriented in the adjustment direction of the tool position securing element and by a, transverse to the longitudinal extent of the leaf spring applied force einknickbar and thus shortened. It is particularly advantageous here that the leaf spring can apply a very high working force along the longitudinal extent of the leaf spring in the almost fully extended state comparatively to a transverse actuation force. Thus, a good translation can be achieved, whereby the actuator can be so smooth that it can also be pressed by hand, and yet sufficient force can be applied to the tool position assurance element.
  • the spring element is formed by a coil spring.
  • the advantage here is that a coil spring is easy to apply, and that the
  • the tool position securing element in a recess between the two ends has an angled to a direction of movement of the horrpositi- onsommeungsiatas surface which is contacted by an actuating lug of the locking element or the actuating element.
  • the advantage here is that it can be achieved by this measure, that a coil spring, or such a spring can be used, which applies a purely extending in the axial direction of force. Due to the angled surface, a translation of the force and the movement of the locking element is realized on the tool position securing element.

  • the bending tool 3 can be positioned in the tool holder 2 in the horizontal displacement direction 5. For this purpose, the bending tool 3 in the horizontal displacement direction 5 must be inserted laterally into the tool holder 2 of the press bar 1.
  • the bending tool 3 is inserted in the vertical direction of insertion 6 in the tool holder 2.
  • the bending tool 3 is constructed in such a way, as shown in the following FIG. By the elements described below, a trouble insertion of the bending tool 3 in the vertical direction of insertion 6 can be ensured.
  • a plurality of bending tools 3 can be positioned, which are of similar construction, and adjoin one another and thus form a long machining edge. Another possibility is that in the tool holder 2 several different bending tools 3 are positioned. These different bending tools 3 are then used for various bending operations and can also be replaced individually. If bending tools 3 different types for different working steps used, it is common that they are arranged at a certain distance from each other.
  • Fig. 2 shows a bending tool 3 in a perspective view. This clearly visible is the actuating element 7, which is coupled to the locking element 8. Also clearly visible is the locking lug 9 of the locking element 8, which can be moved out of the tool body 4 and thus can engage in the tool holder 2. Further shown is a
  • this recess 10 is formed in the form of a groove, but it is also conceivable that, for example, a simple bore is formed, in which a manipulator can engage.

  • the actuating element 7 is preferably designed so that it is guided directly in the tool body 4 and thus is movable only in an actuating direction 11. This movement of the actuating element 7 along an actuating direction 11 can take place between a basic position of the actuating element 12 and an actuating position of the actuating element 13. In the basic position of the actuating element 12, this is not activated and the bending tool 3 is secured by the locking lug 8 against falling out of the tool holder.
