Circular saw device for cutting off tubes
A tube-cutting circular saw device, comprising a housing, a tube-clamping device for clamping the tube in relation to the housing, a motor-driven cutoff tool pivotable about the tube axis and a tool-guide device for the radial guidance of the cutoff tool around the clamped tube, the tool-guide device comprising a rotation body rotatable about the tube axis and a swivel plate pivotable about a swivel axis and connected to the rotation body, wherein the swivel plate contains a slide for the radial positioning of the cutoff tool.
1. A tube-cutting circular saw device, comprising a housing, a tube-clamping device fastened to the housing for clamping a tube to be cut in relation to the housing, a motor-driven cutoff tool pivotable about a longitudinal tube axis and a tool-guide device for the radial guidance of the cutoff tool around the tube, the tool-guide device comprising an annular rotation body rotatably mounted in the housing and being rotatable about the tube axis and a swivel plate connected to the rotation body by means of a swivel axis and being mounted rotatably about the swivel axis in relation to the rotation body, wherein the swivel plate contains a slide arranged displaceably in relation to the swivel plate for the radial positioning of the cutoff tool, and wherein a contour is formed on the rotation body and a cam, fitting the contour, is formed on the swivel plate, such that the cam engages the contour by rotating the swivel plate about the swivel axis in one direction and such that the cam disengages the contour by rotating the swivel plate about the swivel axis in the opposite direction, the rotation body and the swivel plate together with the slide and with the cut-off tool are rotatable together as a unit in said one direction about the tube axis when the cam is in engagement with the contour.
2. The circular saw device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slide is formed such that it is continuously displaceable and locks automatically in relation to the swivel plate.
3. The circular saw device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the swivel plate contains a turning handle, which cooperates with the slide disposed in the swivel plate such that the slide is automatically locked.
4. The circular saw device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein within the turning handle there is disposed an axially displaceable shaft, which is coupled with the turning handle.
5. The circular saw device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein between the turning handle and the shaft there is disposed a cam ring for converting the rotation motion of the turning handle into an axial displacement of the shaft.
6. The circular saw device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein between the shaft and the swivel plate there is disposed a spring for the axial resetting of the shaft and of the turning handle in relation to the swivel plate.
7. The circular saw device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the shaft has a toothing, which is configured to cooperate with a toothed rack on the slide.
8. The circular saw device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein on the shaft there is disposed a conically configured locking piece, which is configured to cooperate with a locking surface on the slide.
9. The circular saw device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tube-clamping device has parallel-displaceable clamping jaws, the clamping jaws encompassing an angle of opening of less than 90°.
