Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a device for holding at least one wheel bolt and / or at least one wheel nut, comprising a base body with a holding section and a fastening section, wherein the holding section has at least one wheel bolt receptacle and / or at least one wheel nut receptacle, and wherein at least one permanent magnet for fastening the device to a magnet-attracting surface is arranged in and / or on the fastening section.
[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a system comprising at least two devices. The present invention also relates to a method for producing a device.
[0003] In the automotive sector, different types of fasteners are used to connect different parts of a vehicle together. Wheel bolts or wheel nuts can be used to attach a wheel to a vehicle axle. For this purpose, the axles can have recesses with internal threads corresponding to the wheel bolts, or bolts with external threads corresponding to the wheel nuts. When a wheel is changed as part of maintenance or inspection work or other work on a vehicle, the wheel bolts or wheel nuts are removed. The removed wheel bolts or nuts are often placed either on the floor or on the surface of a hydraulic lift, which can be used to raise the vehicle during work. Devices are also known for holding wheel bolts or nuts, which comprise a plastic tray for holding wheel bolts or nuts.The plastic bowl can be attached to a magnetic surface using magnets.
[0004] The problem, however, is that the wheel bolts or nuts can easily fall out of the plastic tray if they bump into it and become scattered across the floor. The wheel bolts or nuts can therefore easily be lost or damaged to the point where they are no longer serviceable and must be replaced.
[0005] The present invention is therefore based on the object of designing and developing a device of the type mentioned above in such a way that wheel bolts and / or wheel nuts are securely held against accidental loosening by the device and, at the same time, are easily removable. Furthermore, a system comprising several such devices and a method for manufacturing such a device are to be specified.
[0006] According to the invention, the above object is achieved by the features of claim 1. According to this, the device in question for holding at least one wheel bolt and / or at least one wheel nut comprises a base body with a holding section and a fastening section, wherein the holding section has at least one wheel bolt receptacle and / or at least one wheel nut receptacle and wherein at least one permanent magnet for fastening the device to a magnet-attracting surface is arranged in and / or on the fastening section, characterized in that the at least one permanent magnet is designed and / or arranged in such a way that in a holding state a magnetic holding force can be exerted on the at least one wheel bolt and / or the at least one wheel nut.
[0007] According to the invention, it was first recognized that the at least one permanent magnet fulfills two functions through a suitable design and arrangement. Firstly, the at least one permanent magnet serves to attach the device to a magnet-attracting surface. The term "magnet-attracting surface" is to be understood in the broadest sense within the scope of this disclosure and relates to the surface of a magnet-attracting body. The body comprises a material which is magnetically attracted (by the at least one permanent magnet) or upon which a magnetic force of attraction acts. The surface of the body which comes into direct contact with the device can comprise a non-magnet-attracting material, for example a plastic coating.On the other hand, the at least one permanent magnet generates a magnetic holding force which significantly reduces the risk of the at least one wheel bolt and / or the at least one wheel nut becoming unintentionally detached from the device, for example as a result of impacting the device.
[0008] The term "magnetic holding force" is to be understood in the broadest sense within the scope of the present disclosure and describes a magnetic force that counteracts the inherent weight of the at least one wheel bolt and / or at least one wheel nut and / or the release force applied to remove the at least one wheel bolt and / or at least one wheel nut from the corresponding receptacle. In particular, the holding force is so great that the at least one wheel bolt and / or at least one wheel nut is prevented from loosening due to the inherent weight.
[0009] It is conceivable that the holding section and the fastening section merge into one another and at least partially overlap.
[0010] Advantageously, each wheel bolt receptacle can be assigned a permanent magnet, in particular designed as a ring magnet, and / or each wheel nut receptacle can be assigned a permanent magnet, in particular designed as a bar magnet. This eliminates the need for a large magnet and simultaneously ensures that the same holding force can be exerted on each wheel bolt receptacle and / or wheel nut receptacle. This also makes it possible to provide a particularly cost-effective device.
[0011] In a further advantageous manner, each of the at least one wheel bolt receptacles can comprise a recess in the base body, wherein the recess at least partially corresponds to an outer shape of the wheel bolt, in particular is at least partially circular-cylindrical. As a result of the positive locking achieved in this way, the wheel bolt can be held particularly securely. In the case of a circular-cylindrical recess, the wheel bolt can be inserted into the recess and removed again particularly easily with its threaded section. Advantageously, the ring magnet can be arranged around the corresponding recess, preferably concentrically. The ring magnet would thus surround a wheel bolt arranged in the recess. Furthermore, it is conceivable for the ring magnet to be arranged as an extension of the recess, i.e. beneath it and optionally concentrically.
[0012] In a further advantageous manner, each of the at least one wheel nut receptacles can comprise a recess in the base body and / or a retaining pin protruding from the base body, wherein the recess and / or the retaining pin correspond at least partially to an external shape of the wheel nut, in particular each being at least partially circular-cylindrical in shape. Due to the positive locking thus achieved, the wheel nut can be held particularly securely. In the case of a circular-cylindrical recess and / or a circular retaining pin, the wheel nut can be particularly easily inserted into the recess and / or pushed onto the retaining pin and released again.
[0013] According to an advantageous development, one of the permanent magnets, in particular designed as a bar magnet, can be arranged at least partially in each retaining pin. This allows for a slim design with a lower material requirement.
[0014] It may be advantageous for the recess and / or the retaining pin to each have a chamfer on one insertion side. This makes inserting or sliding on the wheel bolt or wheel nut easier.
[0015] To protect the at least one permanent magnet and the magnet-attracting surface to which the device is attachable, it may be expedient to arrange the at least one permanent magnet completely enclosed by the base body. This prevents contact between the at least one permanent magnet and the magnet-attracting surface. This is particularly advantageous when the device is attached to painted, magnet-attracting components of a vehicle body.
[0016] Furthermore, it is conceivable for the base body to be substantially circular-cylindrical in shape with a first end face and a second end face, the holding section being assigned to the first end face and the fastening section being assigned to the second end face, preferably with each recess and / or each retaining pin being arranged orthogonally to a longitudinal axis assigned to the circular-cylindrical base body. One of the advantages achieved in this way is that a device design which is easy to manufacture can be provided. In addition, the device is particularly handy. It is conceivable for the first and / or second end face to have a flat surface. The height of the circular-cylindrical base body can be selected according to the length of the wheel bolts or the height of the wheel nuts. The devices can be fastened to one another or connected to one another via the second end faces assigned to the fastening sections.be connected to each other.
[0017] It is also conceivable for the device to have five wheel bolt receptacles and / or five wheel nut receptacles, wherein the five wheel bolt receptacles and / or the five wheel nut receptacles are preferably arranged equidistant from one another along a circular line. This allows each wheel bolt or wheel nut, after being loosened, to be arranged in the corresponding wheel bolt receptacle or wheel nut receptacle in the device according to its original position on the vehicle axle. This makes it easy to ensure that the wheel bolts or wheel nuts are always arranged in the same place on the vehicle axle. In general, a different number of wheel bolt receptacles and / or wheel nut receptacles is also conceivable, for example one, ten, or twenty each.
[0018] It may be advantageous for the base body to have an outer diameter between 50 mm and 110 mm, in particular between 65 mm and 95 mm, preferably 80 mm. A device with such a base body can be easily operated with one hand. The outer diameter can be selected depending on the number and size of the wheel bolts or wheel nuts so that sufficient space is provided to accommodate them in the wheel bolt or wheel nut receptacles while simultaneously saving as much material as possible. A base body with an outer diameter of 80 mm allows for the accommodation of five wheel bolts or five wheel nuts with significant material savings.
[0019] Furthermore, the base body can have at least one recessed grip, particularly a circumferential one, on its periphery to improve grip and handling. This ensures a secure hold of the device, even when operated with one hand.
[0020] The at least one gripping recess can have a radius between 5 mm and 25 mm, in particular between 7.0 mm and 15.5 mm. A gripping recess with such dimensions enables a further improved grip when grasping the device with one hand using the fingers.
[0021] The strength of at least one permanent magnet, which can also be referred to as the degree of magnetization, can be expressed in terms of the maximum energy product in kJ / m 3or MGOe (Mega-Gauss-Oersted). This is often specified together with a letter indicating the operating temperature range, with the letter "N" being used for operating temperatures below 80°C. Advantageously, the maximum energy product of the at least one permanent magnet, particularly at operating temperatures below 80°C, can be between 33 MGOe and 52 MGOe, in particular 45 MGOe. This can reliably prevent magnetization of the at least one wheel bolt and / or the at least one wheel nut. The degree of magnetization of the at least one permanent magnet can thus be specified, for example, with "N33" or "N52".
[0022] In a further advantageous manner, the device can be manufactured using an additive manufacturing process, in particular a filament printing process, preferably an FLM process. This allows the device to be manufactured with a more complex geometric structure. Furthermore, an integral component, in particular a one-piece base body, can be produced, thereby avoiding the manufacturing and subsequent joining of several individual parts. This enables time-efficient production. Using the filament printing process, the device can be manufactured particularly cost-effectively. The FLM process, also known as fused layer modeling, enables a particularly fast printing process.
[0023] According to an advantageous development, the base body can comprise an elastomer, preferably thermoplastic polyurethane. This achieves a soft surface of the base body with sufficiently high strength and further reduces the risk of damage to the magnetically attractive surface when attaching or detaching the device.
[0024] It is also conceivable for the base body to be designed as a hollow body. This offers the advantages of saving material and reducing the weight of the device. Furthermore, production time can be significantly reduced, especially when using an additive manufacturing process.
[0025] In a further advantageous manner, the base body designed as a hollow body can have at least one internal reinforcing element, in particular comprising at least one support element and / or at least one rib element. As a result, the base body has increased rigidity and strength.
[0026] It is further conceivable that the at least one permanent magnet is arranged and / or designed in such a way that magnetization of the at least one wheel bolt and / or the at least one wheel nut is prevented.
[0027] In addition, the underlying problem is solved by a system having the features of the independent claim 17. The system comprises at least two devices according to one of claims 1 to 16, wherein the at least two devices can be connected to one another via the fastening sections, in particular via the permanent magnets.
[0028] With regard to the system, it has been recognized according to the invention that the plurality of devices can be stored in a space-saving manner when connected to one another via the fastening sections. Furthermore, the risk of losing an individual device can be reduced. Furthermore, the fastening sections can be protected from contamination or damage during storage by connecting them. It is conceivable that the at least two devices can be connected to one another via a positive and / or non-positive connection.
[0029] The underlying object is further achieved by a method for producing a device according to one of claims 1 to 16 with the features of the independent claim 18. The method for producing such a device comprises the steps: - Producing the base body by an additive manufacturing process, and - Arranging the at least one permanent magnet on and / or in the base body before and / or during and / or after the production of the base body, in particular such that the at least one permanent magnet is at least partially, preferably completely, enclosed by the base body after the production of the base body.
[0030] With regard to the method, it has been recognized according to the invention that the at least one permanent magnet can be arranged particularly easily during the printing process of the additive manufacturing process. This makes it possible to achieve a connection, in particular a force-fitting and / or form-fitting connection, between the at least one permanent magnet and the base body. Additional connecting means, such as screws, or connecting materials, such as adhesive, for connecting the at least one permanent magnet to the base body can be dispensed with. This makes it possible to provide a particularly fast and cost-effective manufacturing process. Detachment of the at least one permanent magnet from the base body is practically impossible, in particular when the at least one permanent magnet is completely enclosed by the base body.
[0031] Advantageously, the production of the base body comprises producing a first and a second section of the base body, wherein the at least one permanent magnet is arranged on and / or in the first section between the production of the first and the second section. This allows an undercut to be easily created, thereby providing a positive connection between the at least one permanent magnet and the base body. A complex connection of the first and second sections using additional connecting means, such as screws, or connecting materials, such as adhesive, can be dispensed with.
[0032] The device according to the invention can have features shaped according to the method, so that the method according to the invention can have the features contained in the claims, the preceding general description and the following description of the figures and the advantages of the device according to the invention achieved thereby.

Each of the five wheel bolt receptacles 6 is assigned a permanent magnet 7, wherein each permanent magnet 7 is designed as a ring magnet. Each ring magnet 7 has an outer diameter 8 of 25 mm, an inner diameter 9 of 20 mm and a disk thickness 10 of 3.0 mm. The maximum energy product of the ring magnets 7 in this exemplary embodiment is in particular between 33 MGOe and 52 MGOe, preferably 45 MGOe, at operating temperatures below 80°C (letter “N”). Magnetization of the wheel bolts 2 can thus be reliably prevented.
[0039] Each of the five wheel bolt receptacles 6 comprises a recess 11 in the base body 3, wherein the recess 11 is at least partially circular-cylindrical. This corresponds to an external shape of the threaded portion 12 of the wheel bolt 2. It should be noted that a diameter 13 of the circular-cylindrical recess 11 is slightly larger than an external thread diameter of the wheel bolt 2, so that the wheel bolt 2 can be easily inserted into the recess 11. Each recess 11 has a chamfer 15 on an insertion side 14. The shape of the chamfer 15 can correspond to a taper 16 of the wheel bolt 2 between the head 17 and the threaded portion 12 of the wheel bolt 2.
[0040] The base body 3 is essentially circular-cylindrical in shape with a first end face 18 and a second end face 19, with the holding portion 4 being associated with the first end face 18 and the fastening portion 5 being associated with the second end face 19. Each recess 11 is arranged orthogonally to a longitudinal axis 20 associated with the circular-cylindrical base body 3.

[0046] Fig. 6 shows a schematic, sectional view with a side view of a device according to the embodiment in Fig. 4.
[0047] The Fig. The device 1 shown in Figures 4 to 6 is designed to hold five wheel nuts 24 and comprises a base body 3 with a holding section 4 and a fastening section 5. The holding section 4 has five wheel nut receptacles 25. Generally, a different number of wheel nut receptacles 25 is also conceivable. Five permanent magnets 7 are arranged in the fastening section 5 for attaching the device 1 to a magnet-attracting surface.
[0048] The five permanent magnets 7 are designed and arranged such that in a holding state, i.e. in a state in which the wheel nuts 24 are arranged and held in the wheel nut receptacles 25, a magnetic holding force can be exerted on the five wheel nuts 24. Each of the five wheel nut receptacles 25 is assigned a permanent magnet 7, wherein each permanent magnet 7 is designed as a bar magnet. Each bar magnet 7 has a length 26 of 20 mm and a diameter 27 of 6 mm. The maximum energy product of the bar magnets 7 in this exemplary embodiment is in particular between 33 MGOe and 52 MGOe, preferably 45 MGOe, at operating temperatures below 80°C (letter "N"). Magnetization of the wheel nuts 24 can thus be reliably prevented.
[0049] Each of the five wheel nut receptacles 25 comprises a recess 11 in the base body 3 and a retaining pin 28 protruding from the base body 3. The recess 11 and the retaining pin 28 partially correspond to an outer shape of the wheel nut 24. For this purpose, they are each at least partially circular-cylindrical. The recess 11 has a diameter 13 that is slightly larger than the corner dimension 29 of the wheel nut 24. A diameter 30 of the retaining pin 28 is slightly smaller than an inner diameter 31 of the wheel nut 24. Each retaining pin 28 has a chamfer 15 on an insertion side 14. The wheel nut 24 can thus be easily inserted into the recess 11 or placed onto the retaining pin 28.
[0050] The base body 3 is essentially circular-cylindrical in shape with a first end face 18 and a second end face 19, with the holding portion 4 being associated with the first end face 18 and the fastening portion 5 being associated with the second end face 19.

[0051] The outer diameter 21 of the base body 3 is 80 mm. In addition, the base body 3 has a circumferential grip recess 22 with a radius 23 of 7.5 mm.
[0052] The five wheel nut receptacles 25 are arranged equidistant from each other along a circular line.
[0053] The bar magnets 7 and the wheel nut receptacles 25, or the circular-cylindrical recesses 11 and retaining pins 28, are each arranged concentrically to one another. The five bar magnets 7 are completely enclosed by the base body 3 and arranged within the retaining pins 28. Thus, in a retaining state, each bar magnet 7 is at least partially arranged within the corresponding wheel nut 24. The bar magnets 7 are arranged approximately 0.8 mm apart from the second end face 19.
[0054] The devices 1 according to the Fig. 1 to 6 can be produced particularly well using an additive manufacturing process, in particular a filament printing process, preferably an FLM process. A thermoplastic polyurethane can be used to produce the base body 3.
[0055] The five permanent magnets 7 are arranged and designed in such a way that magnetization of the five wheel bolts 2 or the five wheel nuts 24 is prevented and at the same time a secure fastening of the device 1 to the magnet-attracting surface is ensured.
