Tool quick-change set for medical hand-held machine tool
The present invention relates to a connection set for connecting a tool to a hand-held machine tool, which consists of, or comprises, a receptacle and an insert. The receptacle is designed provided and/or suitable to be fastened to a machine tool and to receive an insert. The insert is designed, provided and/or suitable for being fastened to the tool and for being releasably, at least in sections, inserted into the receptacle. In this, both the receptacle and the insert are continuous in the longitudinal direction and circumscribe each a lumen. Furthermore, the receptacle comprises one or several stationary pins projecting from an inner wall into the lumen and one or several movable pins. The outside of the insert comprises one or several guides, which are provided, designed or suitable for guiding the pins along the outside of the insert when inserting the insert into the lumen of the receptacle.
1 . A connection set for connecting a tool to a hand-held machine tool, comprising:
a receptacle for being fastened to a machine tool and for receiving an insert;
an insert for attachment to a tool and for the releasable, at least sectionally, insertion into the receptacle,
wherein
the receptacle circumscribes a lumen of the receptacle which is continuous in the longitudinal direction of the receptacle, and the insert circumscribes a lumen of the insert which is continuous in the longitudinal direction of the insert;
the receptacle comprises at least one stationary pin which projects from an inner wall of the receptacle into the lumen of the receptacle and is stationary relative to the inner wall, and at least one movable pin which is movable relative to the inner wall and likewise projects into the lumen of the receptacle; and
the insert comprises on its outside at least one guide each of which is for guiding the at least one movable pin along the outside of the insert when the insert is being inserted into the lumen of the receptacle.
2 . The connection set according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one guide tapers from a first end of said insert towards a second end of said insert opposite to said first end in a first section of the at least one guide.
3 . The connection set according to claim 2 , wherein the first section of the at least one guide merges directly or indirectly into a second section of the at least one guide which does not taper.
4 . The connection set according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one guide comprises a third section which is at an angle of at least 15° to a longitudinal extension of the second section of the at least one guide.
5 . The connection set according to claim 4 , wherein the inner wall is part of an inner section of the receptacle, wherein the inner section of the receptacle comprises at least one passage opening through the inner wall for guiding the at least one movable pin at least also in a radial direction, and wherein the longitudinal axis (L2) of the at least one passage opening for the at least one movable pin is at an angle (α) to the longitudinal axis (L1) of the third section of the at least one guide in order to cause jamming of the at least one movable pin in the axial direction and/or in the circumferential direction.
6 . The connection set according to claim 4 , wherein an end of the third section of the at least one guide is closer to a flange of the insert that limits the depth of insertion of the insert into the receptacle in the axial direction than some or all other subsections of the third section of the at least one guide.
7 . The connection set according to claim 1 , wherein the inner wall is part of an inner section of the receptacle.
8 . The connection set according to claim 1 , having a device for moving the at least one movable pin.
9 . The connection set according to claim 8 , wherein the device for moving is, or comprises, an outer section of the receptacle or rotating ring of the receptacle which is provided to be rotatable relative to an inner section of the receptacle, the inner section comprising the inner wall.
10 . The connection set according to claim 9 , wherein the inner section of the receptacle comprises at least one passage opening through the inner wall for guiding the at least one movable pin at least also in a radial direction.
11 . The connection set according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one passage opening does not taper.
12 . The connection set according to claim 1 , wherein the receptacle comprises a fastening section for fastening the receptacle to the machine tool and a free end for receiving the insert, wherein at least one of the at least one stationary pin projecting into the lumen of the receptacle is arranged closer to the free end than at least one of the at least one movable pin.
13 . The connection set according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one guide of the insert, receiving the at least one movable pin and the at least one stationary pin of the receptacle, effects an axially and/or radially play-free reception of the insert in the receptacle.
14 . The connection set according to claim 1 , wherein a flange of the insert limits the depth of insertion of the insert into the receptacle in the axial direction.
15 . The connection set according to claim 1 , wherein the geometric configuration of the at least one guide of the insert causes the insert to be aligned independently with the receptacle when the insert is being inserted into the receptacle.
16 . The connection set according to claim 1 , wherein due to the interaction between the at least one guide of the insert with the at least one stationary pin and the at least one movable pin of the receptacle inserting the insert into the receptacle requires only the mere application of force, but otherwise no use of tools or no actuation or triggering of a mechanism, switch, or similar.
17 . The connection set according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one movable pin is, directly or indirectly, biased or loaded by a spring.
18 . The connection set according to claim 17 , having a device for moving the at least one movable pin, against the effect of the spring by which the at least one movable pin is directly or indirectly, biased or loaded.
19 . The connection set according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one guide comprises a section which is at an angle of at least 15° to a longitudinal axis (L) of the insert.
20 . A set, comprising or consisting of a hand-held machine tool, at least one tool and/or at least one connection set according to claim 1 .
21 . A method for separating a tool from a machine tool, encompassing the steps of
providing a machine tool connected to a tool in accordance with a method of
providing a hand-held machine tool;
providing a tool for the machine tool;
providing a connection set according to claim 1 ;
connecting the receptacle of the connection set to the machine tool;
connecting the insert of the connection set to the tool; and
connecting the insert to the receptacle by inserting the insert, at least in sections, into the lumen of the receptacle;
moving the movable pins projecting into the lumen of the receptacle, in particular against the effect of the optional spring;
withdrawing the tool from the machine tool by pulling on the tool and/or with the aid of gravity.
