Abstract

A quick tensioning device for a portable machine tool, in particular for an angle grinding machine, includes at least one output shaft which can be rotated, at least one clamping unit that is at least partly arranged in the output shaft and has at least one clamping element, which is movably mounted at least about and/or along a movement axis of the clamping unit, for fixing an insert tool unit to the output shaft without tools, and at least one torque transmission unit for transmitting a torque to the insert tool unit when the insert tool unit is arranged on the output shaft, said torque transmission unit having at least one torque transmission element which is formed separately from the output shaft. The quick tensioning device includes at least one securing unit at least for securing the torque transmission element to the output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner.

Claims (35)

1. A quick-change clamping device for a portable power tool, comprising:

an output shaft configured to be driven in rotation;

a clamping unit arranged, at least partially, in the output shaft, the clamping unit including at least one clamping element mounted so as to be movable about and along a movement axis of the clamping unit so as to fix an insert tool unit to the output shaft without the use of tools;

a torque transmission unit, which has torque transmission element configured to transmit a torque to the insert tool unit when the insert tool unit has been arranged on the output shaft, the torque transmission unit comprising a fastening unit configured to fasten the at least one torque transmission element to the output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner; and

a sealing element configured to at least partly cover an opening of the output shaft, out of which the clamping unit projects, at least partly, when the insert tool unit has been arranged on the output shaft,

wherein a fastening element of the fastening unit extends through a receiving cutout defined entirely by the sealing element,

wherein the at least one clamping element is configured to pivot about the fastening element, and

wherein the at least one torque transmission element is configured to move axially along the movement axis relative to the output shaft.

2. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fastening element is further configured to fasten the torque transmission element to the output shaft.

3. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the fastening element is further configured to fasten the at least clamping element to the output shaft.

4. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the fastening element is a bolt, which, in a fastened state, has a longitudinal axis running transversely in relation to a movement axis of the output shaft.

5. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein, in the fastened state, the longitudinal axis of the bolt runs at least substantially perpendicularly in relation to the movement axis of the output shaft.

6. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the fastening unit has at least one positive-engagement contour, which is configured to act in combination with at least one positive-engagement mating contour arranged on the output shaft to fasten the torque transmission element.

7. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the fastening unit comprises at least one securing element, which is configured to secure a connection of the torque transmission element by means of the fastening element.

8. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the fastening unit has more than two fastening elements, which are configured to fasten the torque transmission element to the output shaft by at least one of a positive connection and a non-positive connection.

9. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the fastening element includes a rivet element.

10. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fastening unit fastens the torque transmission element to the output shaft in a materially bonded manner.

11. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the fastening unit includes a welded connection that fastens the torque transmission element to the output shaft in the materially bonded manner.

12. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fastening unit includes a threaded unit having at least one threaded element arranged on the torque transmission element and at least one further threaded element arranged on the output shaft.

13. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a cover unit configured to at least partly cover the opening of the output shaft, out of which the clamping unit projects, at least partly, out of the output shaft,

wherein the torque transmission element is fastened to at least one cover element of the cover unit.

14. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the torque transmission element is integral with the cover element.

15. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the quick-change clamping device is configured for a power angle grinder.

16. The quick-change clamping device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the torque transmission element is realized separately from the output shaft.

17. A portable power tool comprising:

at least one quick-change clamping device comprising:

an output shaft configured to be driven in rotation;

a clamping unit arranged, at least partially, in the output shaft, the clamping unit including at least one clamping element mounted so as to be movable about and along a movement axis of the clamping unit so as to fix an insert tool unit to the output shaft without the use of tools;

a torque transmission unit which has torque transmission element configured to transmit a torque to the insert tool unit when the insert tool unit has been arranged on the output shaft, the torque transmission unit comprising a fastening unit configured to fasten the torque transmission element to the output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner; and

a sealing element configured to at least partly cover an opening of the output shaft, out of which the clamping unit projects, at least partly, when the insert tool unit has been arranged on the output shaft,

wherein a fastening element of the fastening unit extends through a receiving cutout defined entirely by the sealing element,

wherein the at least one clamping element is configured to pivot about the fastening element, and

wherein the at least one torque transmission element is configured to move axially along the movement axis relative to the output shaft.

18. The portable power tool as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the portable power tool is a power angle grinder.
