Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Vorrichtung zum Bereitstellen von Material an Arbeitsplätzen nach der Gattung des Hauptanspruchs.The invention relates to a device for providing material to workstations according to the preamble of the main claim.

Eine Vorrichtung ist bereits aus dem DE-GM 73 37 769 bekannt. Die Vorrichtung weist einen Materialspeicher mit einer sich daran anschließenden Entnahmestelle für das Material auf. Der Materialspeicher und die Entnahmestelle bilden ein Segment, in dem eine Sorte Material bereitgestellt werden kann. Es kommt durchaus vor, dass bis zu 30 oder gar 60 verschiedene Bauteile an einem Arbeitsplatz montiert werden. Da jedoch für jedes Teil ein separater Behälter mit den damit verbundenen Kosten eingesetzt werden muss, bedeutet dies, daß 30 oder gar 60 einzelne Vorrichtungen benötigt werden.A device is already out of the DE-GM 73 37 769 known. The device has a material storage with an adjoining removal point for the material. The material storage and the removal point form a segment in which a variety of material can be provided. It can happen that up to 30 or even 60 different components are mounted in one workstation. However, since a separate container with the associated costs must be used for each part, this means that 30 or even 60 individual devices are needed.

Aus der US -A-1 987 771 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Bereitstellen von Material an einem Arbeitsplatz bekannt. Die Vorrichtung besteht aus insgesamt drei gesonderten Bauteilen, die aus gebogenen Blechen hergestellt sind. Insbesondere ist eine Gehäuse vorgesehen, dass zusammen mit einem ersten Einsatz einen Materialspeicher definiert, der in mehrere Segmente aufgeteilt ist. Des Weiteren ist ein zweiter Einsatz in dem Gehäuse vorgesehen, der eine Entnahmestelle der Vorrichtung definiert, so dass die in den Segmenten gelagerten Materialen aus der Vorrichtung entnommen werden können.From the US-A-1,987,771 a device for providing material in a workplace is known. The device consists of a total of three separate components, which are made of bent sheets. In particular, a housing is provided which, together with a first insert, defines a material store which is divided into several segments. Furthermore, a second insert is provided in the housing, which defines a removal point of the device, so that the stored in the segments materials can be removed from the device.

Aus der DE 30 36 226 A1 ist eine weitere Vorrichtung zum Bereitstellen von Material bekannt, deren Materialspeicher in mehrere Segmente unterteilt ist.From the DE 30 36 226 A1 Another device for providing material is known, the material storage is divided into several segments.

Ferner wird oftmals eine Sorte Material mit einer anderen Sorte Material zusammen montiert. Beispielsweise sind dies Schrauben und Muttern oder Schrauben und Unterlegscheiben. Hierfür muss ebenfalls für jede Sorte Material eine separate Vorrichtung an den Arbeitsplatz gestellt werden; d.h. zum Beispiel eine Vorrichtung für Schrauben und eine Vorrichtung für Muttern; gegebenenfalls noch eine weitere Vorrichtung für Unterlegscheiben, was bedeutet, dass drei Vorrichtungen für die Bauteile an den Arbeitsplatz gestellt werden müssen.Furthermore, often one type of material is assembled with another type of material together. For example, these are bolts and nuts or screws and washers. For this purpose, a separate device must also be placed at the workplace for each type of material; ie, for example, a device for screws and a device for nuts; optionally a further washer device, which means that three devices for the components must be placed at the workstation.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Bereitstellen von Material an Arbeitsplätzen mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, dass sie kostengünstiger ist als mehrere, der Anzahl ihrer Segmente entsprechend Einzelvorrichtungen. Auch wenn dies bedeutet, dass manches Segment leer bleibt, sind die Kosten dennoch erheblich reduziert.The inventive device for providing material at workstations with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that it is less expensive than several, the number of their segments according to individual devices. Although this means that some segments remain empty, the costs are still significantly reduced.

Weiterhin können Vorrichtungen zu Batterien oder Türmen zusammengesetzt werden. Dies reduziert auch den erforderlichen Montageaufwand für den Aufbau der Vorrichtungen an Arbeitsplätzen.Furthermore, devices can be assembled into batteries or towers. This also reduces the installation effort required for the construction of the devices at workplaces.

Ferner hat die Vorrichtung den Vorteil, dass Materialsorten, insbesondere unterschiedliche Bauteile, die gemeinsam montiert werden sollen, in einer Vorrichtung bereitgestellt werden können.Furthermore, the device has the advantage that material types, in particular different components which are to be mounted together, can be provided in one device.

Da der Materialschacht und die Entnahmestelle als miteinander verbindbare Teile ausgebildet, können die Länge des Materialspeichers an die Erfordernisse der zu speichernden Bauteile angepasst werden.Since the material shaft and the removal point formed as connectable parts, the length of the material storage can be adapted to the requirements of the components to be stored.

Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Bereitstellen von Material an Arbeitsplätzen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der Beschreibung.Further advantages and advantageous developments of the device according to the invention for the provision of material at work stations emerge from the subclaims and the description.

In der Figur 1 ist eine Vorrichtung 10 zum Bereitstellen von Material an Arbeitsplätzen dargestellt, wobei es sich vorzugsweise um Handarbeitsplätze handelt. Bei dem Material kann es sich um verschiedenartigste Bauteile handeln, wie z.B. Scheiben, Schrauben, Muttern oder auch elektronische Bauteile usw., die an den Arbeitsplätzen montiert werden. Die Vorrichtung 10 ist auf einer an und für sich bekannten nicht dargestellten Auflage montiert, wodurch sie schräg angeordnet ist.In the FIG. 1 a device 10 is shown for providing material at workplaces, which are preferably manual workstations. The material can be a variety of components, such as discs, screws, nuts or electronic components, etc., which are mounted on the workstations. The device 10 is mounted on a known per se support, not shown, whereby it is arranged obliquely.

Die Vorrichtung 10 besteht aus einem vorzugsweise schachtförmigen Materialspeicher 12, an dessen einer Stirnseite 14 eine Entnahmestelle 16 und an der anderen Stirnseite 18 ein Befülltrichter 20 angeordnet ist. Der Befülltrichter 20 kann aber auch entfallen. Durch die erwähnte schräge Anordnung der Vorrichtung 10 kann Material durch den Materialspeicher auf die Entnahmestelle 16 rutschen, von wo es zur Montage entnommen werden kann.The device 10 consists of a preferably shaft-shaped material storage 12, at one end face 14, a removal point 16 and at the other end face 18, a filling hopper 20 is arranged. The filling funnel 20 can also be omitted. Due to the mentioned oblique arrangement of the device 10 material can slip through the material storage on the sampling point 16, from where it can be removed for mounting.

Der Materialspeicher 12, dessen Querschnittsfläche in der Schnittdarstellung der Figur 2 gezeigt ist, besteht aus zwei nebeneinander liegenden Segmenten 22, 24 in Form von Hohlkammern und ist im Aluminium-Strangpressverfahren hergestellt. Zur Bildung der Hohlkammern besteht der Materialspeicher 12 im wesentlichen aus vier ein Rechteck bildenden und in Längsrichtung der Vorrichtung 10 bzw. des Materialspeichers 12 verlaufenden Außenwänden 26, 28, 30, 32. Die zueinander parallelen Außenwände 26, 28 sind im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ungefähr doppelt so lang wie die ebenfalls zueinander parallelen und im rechten Winkel zu den Außenwänden 26, 28 stehenden Außenwände 30, 32. Die Außenwand 26 ist im montierten Zustand oben, die Außenwand 28 unten und die beiden Außenwände 30, 32 seitlich angeordnet. Zwischen den Außenwänden 26, 28 verläuft eine den Materialspeicher 12 in die Segmente 22, 24 aufteilende Trennwand 34. Bei Bedarf können mehr als die zwei dargestellten nebeneinander angeordnete Hohlkammern bzw. Segmente 22, 24 vorgesehen werden.The material storage 12, whose cross-sectional area in the sectional view of FIG. 2 is shown, consists of two adjacent segments 22, 24 in the form of hollow chambers and is produced by the aluminum extrusion process. To form the hollow chambers of the material storage 12 is substantially four parallel outer walls 26, 28 are in the present embodiment, about twice as long as the also parallel to each other and at right angles the outer walls 26, 28 standing outer walls 30, 32. The outer wall 26 is in the mounted state above, the outer wall 28 below and the two outer walls 30, 32 arranged laterally. Between the outer walls 26, 28 extends a material storage 12 in the segments 22, 24 dividing partition 34. If necessary, more than the two side by side arranged hollow chambers or segments 22, 24 are provided.

Entlang der Außenwand 26 und jeweils etwa mittig zu den Segmenten 22, 24 sind zwei hinterschnittene Nuten 36 ausgebildet. Entlang der Außenwand 28 und ebenfalls jeweils etwa mittig zu den Segmenten 22, 24 sind zwei T-förmige Fortsätze 38 ausgebildet. Die Nuten 36 und die Fortsätze 38 sind so angeordnet, dass zwei oder mehr Vorrichtungen 10 übereinander angeordnet werden können, indem die T-förmigen Fortsetze 38 in die Nuten 36 geschoben werden. Zur Fixierung der Lage zweier Vorrichtungen 10 zueinander wird in wenigstens einer der Nuten 36 ein nicht dargestellter Nutenstein befestigt.Along the outer wall 26 and each approximately centrally to the segments 22, 24, two undercut grooves 36 are formed. Along the outer wall 28 and also each approximately centrally of the segments 22, 24, two T-shaped extensions 38 are formed. The grooves 36 and the extensions 38 are arranged so that two or more devices 10 can be superimposed by pushing the T-shaped extensions 38 into the grooves 36. To fix the position of two devices 10 to each other 36, an unillustrated sliding block is attached in at least one of the grooves.

In den vier Eckbereichen der Außenwände 26, 28, 30, 32 verlaufen durchgehende Bohrungen 40. In die Bohrungen 40 können, wie aus der Figur 1 hervorgeht, Schrauben 42 gedreht werden mit denen die Entnahmestelle 16 und der Befülltrichter 20 am Materialspeicher 12 befestigt werden können. Der Materialspeicher 12 und die Entnahmestelle 16 sind somit als miteinander verbindbare Teile ausgebildet, wobei die Entnahmestelle 16 vorzugsweise mittels Schrauben 42 an den Materialspeicher 12 angeflanscht ist. Es sind jedoch auch andere Verbindungen möglich. Es kann sich beispielsweise um eine Kleb-, Schweiß- oder Pressverbindung handeln. Durch die Ausbildung des Materialspeichers 12 und der Entnahmestelle 16 als miteinander verbindbare Teile kann die der Materialspeicher 12 auf die für die Speicherung der jeweiligen Bauteile erforderliche Länge gebracht werden.In the four corners of the outer walls 26, 28, 30, 32 extend through holes 40. In the holes 40 can, as shown in FIG. 1 shows screws 42 are rotated with which the removal point 16 and the hopper 20 can be attached to the material storage 12. The material storage 12 and the removal point 16 are thus formed as interconnectable parts, the removal point 16 preferably by means of screws 42 is flanged to the material storage 12. However, other connections are possible. It may be, for example, a glued, welded or pressed connection. By the formation of the material storage 12 and the removal point 16 as interconnectable parts of the material storage 12 can be brought to the length required for the storage of the respective components.

Die Entnahmestelle 16 weist einen rechteckigen Rahmen 44 und eine sich anschließende schalenförmige Greifzunge 46 auf. Der Rahmen 44 umfasst die Stirnseite 14 des Materialspeichers 12 und weist in den vier Eckbereichen Durchbrüche für die Schrauben 42 auf. Die Greifzunge 46 weist eine Grundplatte 48 auf. Die Grundplatte 48 geht von der Seite des Rahmens 44 aus, die sich an die in montierter Stellung unten liegende Außenwand 28 des Materialspeichers 12 anschließt. Der vom Rahmen 44 weg weisende Bereich der Grundplatte 48 ist so gebogen, dass er im montierten Zustand der Vorrichtung 10 nach oben weist. Aus dem Materialspeicher 12 rutschendes Material kommt dadurch auf der Greifzunge 46 der Entnahmestelle 16 zum Erliegen.The removal point 16 has a rectangular frame 44 and a subsequent cup-shaped gripping tongue 46. The frame 44 includes the end face 14 of the material reservoir 12 and has openings for the screws 42 in the four corner regions. The gripping tongue 46 has a base plate 48. The base plate 48 extends from the side of the frame 44, which adjoins the outer wall 28 of the material reservoir 12 lying in the mounted position at the bottom. The area facing away from the frame 44 of the base plate 48 is bent so that it points in the assembled state of the device 10 upwards. From the material storage 12 slipping material is characterized on the gripping tab 46 of the sampling point 16 to a halt.

An den Außenseiten der Grundplatte 48, die sich an den Rahmen 44 anschließen, wird die Grundplatte 48 bzw. die Entnahmestelle 16 von zwei Außenwänden 50, 52 begrenzt, die in den bogenförmigen Bereich der Greifzunge 46 übergehen. Die Entnahmestelle 16 bzw. die Greifzunge 46 ist in zwei nebeneinander angeordnete Segmente 54, 56 aufgeteilt. Zur Aufteilung in die zwei Segmente 54, 56 verläuft in Längsrichtung der Vorrichtung 10 eine Trennwand 58 durch die Entnahmestelle 16 der Vorrichtung 10. Die Trennwand 58 fluchtet mit der Trennwand 34 des Materialspeichers 12. Bei Bedarf können mehr als zwei Segmente 54, 56 vorgesehen werden, die vorteilhafterweise nebeneinander liegen. Hierzu müssen lediglich entsprechend viele Trennwände 28 vorgesehen werden. Die Zahl der Segmente 54, 56 der Entnahmestelle 16 muss dann mit der Anzahl der Segmente 22, 24 des Materialspeichers 12 übereinstimmen.On the outer sides of the base plate 48, which adjoin the frame 44, the base plate 48 and the removal point 16 is bounded by two outer walls 50, 52, which pass into the arcuate region of the gripping tongue 46. The removal point 16 or the gripping tongue 46 is divided into two juxtaposed segments 54, 56. For dividing into the two segments 54, 56 extends in the longitudinal direction of the device 10, a partition 58 through the Removal point 16 of the device 10. The partition wall 58 is aligned with the partition wall 34 of the material storage 12. If necessary, more than two segments 54, 56 may be provided, which are advantageously adjacent to each other. For this purpose, only a corresponding number of partitions 28 must be provided. The number of segments 54, 56 of the removal point 16 must then coincide with the number of segments 22, 24 of the material storage 12.

Zwischen den Außenwänden 50, 52 und der Trennwand 58 der Entnahmestelle 16 sind im Bereich des Rahmens 44 Schieber 60 zur Materialdosierung vorgesehen. Hierzu sind in den von den Außenwänden 50, 52 und der Trennwand 58 mit dem Rahmen 44 gebildeten Eckbereichen Führungen 62 vorgesehen. Durch entsprechendes Verschieben der Schieber 60 kann für das zu bereitstellende Material die optimale Größe der Öffnung des Rahmens 44 eingestellt werden.Between the outer walls 50, 52 and the partition 58 of the removal point 16 slides 60 are provided for metering material in the region of the frame. For this purpose, guides 62 are provided in the corner areas formed by the outer walls 50, 52 and the partition wall 58 with the frame 44. By appropriate displacement of the slider 60, the optimal size of the opening of the frame 44 can be adjusted for the material to be provided.

Der an der von der Entnahmestelle 16 abgewandten Stirnseite 18 des Materialspeichers vorgesehene Befülltrichter 20 ist ebenfalls in zwei nebeneinander liegende Segmente 64, 66 aufgeteilt. Ähnlich wie die Entnahmestelle 16 weist der Befülltrichter 18 ebenfalls einen die Stirnseite 18 umfassenden Rahmen 68 auf. Der Befülltrichter 18 ist auch mittels in die Bohrungen 40 gedrehten Schrauben 42 an den Materialspeicher 12 geflanscht. An den Stellen der Nuten 36 und der Fortsätze 38 weist der Rahmen 68 eine daran angepasste Form auf, so dass eine weitere Vorrichtung 10 auf die Vorrichtung 10 geschoben werden kann.The filling hopper 20 provided at the end face 18 of the material reservoir facing away from the removal point 16 is likewise divided into two adjacent segments 64, 66. Similar to the removal point 16, the filling funnel 18 also has a frame 68 comprising the end face 18. The filling funnel 18 is also flanged by means of screws 42 rotated in the bores 40 to the material reservoir 12. At the locations of the grooves 36 and the extensions 38, the frame 68 has a shape adapted thereto, so that a further device 10 can be pushed onto the device 10.

Die Entnahmestelle 16 kann zum Beispiel im Kunststoff-Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden.The removal point 16 can be produced for example by plastic injection molding.

Der Befülltrichter 20 weist eine Grundplatte 70 auf, die vom Rahmen 68 ausgeht und so gebogen ist, dass sie im montierten Zustand nach oben weist. Begrenzt wird die Grundplatte 70 des Befülltrichters 20 von zwei Außenwänden 72, 74, die vom Rahmen 68 ausgehen und im bogenförmigen Bereich der Grundplatte 70 enden. Die Segmente 64, 66 werden durch die Trennwand 76 separiert, wobei die Trennwand 76 des Befülltrichters 20 mit der Trennwand 24 des Materialspeichers 12 fluchtet. Bei Bedarf können auch mehr Trennwände 76 zur Bildung von mehr als zwei Segmenten 78, 80 vorgesehen werden, die idealerweise nebeneinander liegen.The filling funnel 20 has a base plate 70 which extends from the frame 68 and is bent so that they are mounted in the State facing up. The base plate 70 of the filling funnel 20 is bounded by two outer walls 72, 74 which extend from the frame 68 and terminate in the arcuate region of the base plate 70. The segments 64, 66 are separated by the partition wall 76, wherein the partition wall 76 of the filling funnel 20 is aligned with the partition wall 24 of the material reservoir 12. If required, more dividing walls 76 may also be provided to form more than two segments 78, 80, which are ideally juxtaposed.

Der Befülltrichter 20 kann zum Beispiel im Kunststoff-Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden.The filling funnel 20 can be produced for example by plastic injection molding.

Wesentlich bei der Vorrichtung 10 ist, dass der Materialspeicher 12 und die Entnahmestelle 16 in mehrere Segmente 22, 24, 54, 56 zur getrennten Speicherung und Bereitstellung insbesondere unterschiedlichen Materials aufgeteilt sind. Ist der Befülltrichter 20 vorgesehen, so ist auch dieser in die entsprechende Anzahl an Segmenten 64, 66 aufgeteilt. Durch die Aufteilung der Vorrichtung 10 in zwei Segmente 22, 24, 54, 56, 64, 66 können Teile, die bei der Montage gemeinsam verwendet werden, beispielsweise Schrauben und Muttern oder Schrauben und Unterlegscheiben schon gemeinsam bereitgestellt werden. Indem zum Beispiel drei Segmente 22, 24, 54, 64, 66 vorgesehen sind, können Schrauben, Muttern und Unterlegscheiben, die gemeinsam montiert werden sollen, mit einer Vorrichtung 10 bereitgestellt werden. Hierzu kann die Querschnittsfläche der Segmente 22, 24, 54, 56, 64, 66 auch an die Größe der Bauteile angepasst werden.It is essential with the device 10 that the material storage 12 and the removal point 16 are divided into a plurality of segments 22, 24, 54, 56 for the separate storage and provision of particular different material. If the filling funnel 20 is provided, this is also divided into the corresponding number of segments 64, 66. By dividing the device 10 into two segments 22, 24, 54, 56, 64, 66, parts commonly used in assembly, such as bolts and nuts or screws and washers, may already be provided together. For example, by providing three segments 22, 24, 54, 64, 66, bolts, nuts, and washers to be mounted together may be provided with a device 10. For this purpose, the cross-sectional area of the segments 22, 24, 54, 56, 64, 66 can also be adapted to the size of the components.

Weiterhin ist wesentlich, dass eine Vorrichtung 10 mit zum Beispiel fünf oder sechs Segmenten 22, 24, 54, 56, die vorzugsweise nebeneinander angeordnet sind, mit weiteren Vorrichtungen 10, die in vorteilhafter Weise mittels der Nuten 36 und T-förmigen Fortsätze 38 fixiert über der Vorrichtung 10 angeordnet werden, zu einer Batterie oder einem Turm zusammengefasst werden können. Werden beispielsweise fünf Vorrichtungen 10 mit jeweils sechs Segmenten 22, 24, 54, 56 zusammengefasst, können 30 verschiedene Bauteile bereitgestellt werden. Die Kosten für die fünf Vorrichtungen 10 sind jedoch wesentlich geringer als 30 einzelne Vorrichtungen, in denen jeweils nur ein Bauteil bereitgestellt werden kann. Selbst wenn sich in einzelnen Segmenten 22, 24, 54, 56 keine Bauteile befinden, sind die Kosten für eine Vorrichtung 10 immer noch niedriger.Furthermore, it is essential that a device 10 with, for example, five or six segments 22, 24, 54, 56, which are preferably arranged side by side, with other devices 10, which advantageously by means of Grooves 36 and T-shaped extensions 38 can be arranged fixed above the device 10, can be combined to form a battery or a tower. For example, if five devices 10 with six segments 22, 24, 54, 56 combined, 30 different components can be provided. However, the cost of the five devices 10 is significantly less than 30 individual devices, in each of which only one component can be provided. Even if there are no components in individual segments 22, 24, 54, 56, the cost of a device 10 is still lower.

Die optimale Zahl der Segmente 22, 24, 54, 56 kann ermittelt werden, indem an verschiedenen Arbeitsplätzen festgestellt wird, wieviel Bauteile montiert werden. Die Zahl kann dann auch jeweils größer oder kleiner als das genannte Beispiel mit sechs Segmenten 22, 24, 54, 56 sein. Schließlich werden die benötigten Vorrichtungen 10, um alle Bauteile montieren zu können, übereinander angeordnet. In Längsrichtung der Vorrichtungen 10 werden diese dann versetzt zueinander mit Nutensteinen fixiert, so dass die Bauteile gut gegriffen werden können.The optimum number of segments 22, 24, 54, 56 can be determined by determining how many components are mounted at different workstations. The number can also be larger or smaller than the example with six segments 22, 24, 54, 56. Finally, the required devices 10 in order to mount all the components can be arranged one above the other. In the longitudinal direction of the devices 10, these are then staggered with each other with sliding blocks, so that the components can be easily grasped.
