Abstract

A carriage ( 50 ) for a wall saw that includes a saw head and a motor-driven feed unit with a guide slide and a feed motor. The carriage is made up of a base frame ( 51 ) with a supporting frame ( 55 ) and a receiving plate ( 56 ), a guide frame ( 52 ) with a handle ( 58 ), and a chassis ( 53 ) with a first axle ( 64 ), a second axle ( 66 ), and at least three wheels ( 65, 67 ). At least one wheel ( 65 ) of the chassis ( 53 ) is designed to be connectable to a gearwheel ( 45 ) of the guide slide ( 26 ) in a force- and torque-transmitting manner with the aid of a connection device.

Claims (17)

1. A carriage for a wall saw, the wall saw made up of a saw head and a motor-driven feed unit with a guide slide and a feed motor, the wall saw being connectable to a toothed rack of a guide track with the aid of a gearwheel of the guide slide, and being movable along guide surfaces of the guide track with the aid of guide elements of the guide slide, the carriage comprising:

a base frame with a supporting frame and a receiving plate connectable to the wall saw;

a guide frame with a handle, the guide frame being connected to the base frame; and

a chassis with a first axle, a second axle, and at least three wheels situated on the first and second axles, the chassis being situated on a bottom side of the supporting frame;

at least one wheel of the at least three wheels being connectable to the gearwheel of the guide slide in a force- and torque-transmitting manner with the aid of a connection device.

2. The carriage as recited in claim 1 wherein the connection device includes at least one carriage gearwheel connectable to the gearwheel of the guide slide in the force- and torque-transmitting manner.

3. The carriage as recited in claim 2 wherein the at least one carriage gearwheel includes a first gearwheel and a second gearwheel, the first or second gearwheel being connectable to the gearwheel of the guide slide in the force- and torque-transmitting manner.

4. The carriage as recited in claim 3 further comprising a transmission device situated between the first or second gearwheel and the first axle or second axle.

5. The carriage as recited in claim 4 further comprising a coupling device adjustable between an engaged state and a disengaged state, in the engaged state the first or second gearwheel being connected to the at least one wheel in the force- and torque-transmitting manner, and in the disengaged state transmission of force and torque from the first or second gearwheel so connected to the at least one wheel being interrupted.

6. The carriage as recited in claim 5 wherein the coupling device is adjustable between the engaged state and the disengaged state via a foot switch.

7. The carriage as recited in claim 1 wherein the receiving plate includes at least one retaining element engageable with at least one of the guide elements of the guide slide.

8. The carriage as recited in claim 1 wherein the receiving plate includes multiple retaining elements engageable with the guide elements of the guide slide.

9. The carriage as recited in claim 1 further comprising at least one counterweight fastenable to the supporting frame.

10. The carriage as recited in claim 1 further comprising a first counterweight and a second counterweight, each fastenable to the supporting frame, the first counterweight being situated in the area of the first axle, and the second counterweight being situated in the area of the second axle.

11. The carriage as recited in claim 10 further comprising at least one first plug bolt and at least one second plug bolt on the supporting frame, the first counterweight being fastenable to the first plug bolt, and the second counterweight being fastenable to the second plug bolt.

12. The carriage as recited in claim 1 wherein two of the at least three wheels of the chassis are situated on a shared drive shaft of the first or second axle and are designed to be connectable to the gearwheel of the guide slide in the force- and torque-transmitting manner, one wheel of the two wheels being decoupleable from the drive shaft.

13. The carriage as recited in claim 5 wherein two of the at least three wheels of the chassis are situated on a shared drive shaft of the first or second axle and are designed to be connectable to the gearwheel of the guide slide in the force- and torque-transmitting manner, one wheel of the two wheels being decoupleable from the drive shaft; and wherein the wheel decoupleable from the drive shaft is decoupled from the drive shaft in the disengaged state of the coupling device.
