Abstract

A rotation stop device for a rotatably mounted shaft, having a stationary stop body and a transmission which converts the rotational movement of the shaft into a linear movement of a driven element relative to the stop body, and having a stop element which can be moved by the driven element into a stop position in which it bears against the stop body. The stop element is coupled to the shaft in a rotationally fixed and axially displaceable manner by a linear guide.

Claims (14)

1 . A rotation stop device for a rotatably mounted shaft comprising:

a stationary stop body and a transmission which converts a rotational movement of the shaft into a linear movement of a driven element relative to the stop body, and

a stop element which can be moved by the driven element into a stop position in which it bears against the stop body,

wherein the stop element is coupled to the shaft in a rotationally fixed and axially displaceable manner by means of a linear guide.

2 . The rotation stop device according to claim 1 , wherein each stop body is provided with a ramp which is sloped along a circumferential direction and on which a part of the stop element rides when rotating in a direction opposite to the stop direction.

3 . The rotation stop device according to claim 1 , wherein at least two stop elements and two stop bodies are arranged such that a rotation stop is formed in each direction of rotation.

4 . The rotation stop device according to claim 1 , wherein a respective impact absorber is integrated between the stop bodies and projections, wherein the absorber absorbs energy upon impact of the stop element with the projections on the stop bodies.

5 . The rotation stop device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission is a spindle transmission with a spindle seated non-rotatably on the shaft, and a nut in threaded engagement with the spindle as the driven element.

6 . The rotation stop device according to claim 5 , wherein the transmission is accommodated in a housing in which the driven element is guided in a rotationally fixed but axially movable manner and at an end wall of which the stop body is formed.

7 . The rotation stop device according to claim 1 , further comprising a spring element that biases the stop element into its stop position.

8 . The rotation stop device according to claim 7 , wherein the driven element has an annular bead which engages on lever arms of the spring element, which in turn engage with their ends on the stop element, so that a stroke of the stop element increases in accordance with a leverage ratio.

9 . The rotation stop device according to claim 1 , wherein the linear guide is formed by a guide disk which is non-rotatably wedged onto the shaft and provides guidance for an axial projection of the stop element.

10 . The rotation stop device according to claim 9 , wherein the guide disk has an opening through which the projection engages.

11 . The rotation stop device according to claim 9 , wherein the stop element has a plurality of axial projections, wherein a stop body is assigned to each of the axial projections.
