Abstract

The segment (1) has sections (2, 3) connected to each other for designing a hollow profile. One of the sections with its longitudinal side is connected with a longitudinal side of adjacent sections in a movable and sectional manner by a connecting unit (4) designed as a hinge unit so that the sections are conveyed from an unmounted condition to a mounted condition. The sections form an open profile and closed profile concerning the cross section of the sections in the unmounted and mounted conditions, respectively. The sections are arranged at an angle of 180 degree to each other. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a profile segment.

Description

Profilsegment und Verfahren zu seiner Herstellung Profile segment and method for its production
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Profilsegment, das vorzugsweise mit zumindest einem benachbarten Profilsegment zum Bilden eines Rollladens verbindbar ist, und das zumindest zwei in Längsrichtung des Profilsegmentes verlaufende und miteinander verbundene Abschnitte zum Bilden eines bezüglich seines Querschnitts geschlossenen Hohlprofils aufweist.The invention relates to a profile segment, which is preferably connectable to at least one adjacent profile segment for forming a roller shutter, and which has at least two sections extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile segment and interconnected to form a hollow profile closed with respect to its cross section.
Aus der DE 35 08 849 A1 ist ein solches Profilsegment bekannt. Hierbei sind die Abschnitte des aus Kunststoff bestehenden Profilsegmentes einstückig miteinander verbunden und derart angeordnet, dass die beiden Abschnitte eine im Wesentlichen V-förmige Querschnittsgeometrie aufweisen. Zur Bildung eines bezüglich seines Querschnitts geschlossenen Hohlprofils werden die Abschnitte im Bereich der einstückigen Verbindung erwärmt, wodurch eine Erweichung des Kunststoffs bewirkt wird. In diesem Zustand lassen sich die beiden Abschnitte so weit aufeinander zu bewegen, dass die an den Abschnitten angeordneten Rastmittel in Eingriff miteinander gelangen können.From DE 35 08 849 A1, such a profile segment is known. In this case, the sections of the profile segment made of plastic are integrally connected to each other and arranged such that the two sections have a substantially V-shaped cross-sectional geometry. To form a closed hollow profile with respect to its cross-section, the portions are heated in the region of the integral connection, whereby a softening of the plastic is effected. In this state, the two sections can be moved toward each other so far that the locking means arranged on the sections can engage with each other.
Nachteilig bei dem aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Profilsegment ist die Tatsache, dass eine Bearbeitung der Abschnitte des Profilsegments aufgrund der beschriebenen Querschnittsgeometrie Schwierigkeiten bereitet. Sollen beispielsweise in die Abschnitte Löcher durch Stanzen eingebracht werden, so sind speziell geformte Gegenhalter notwendig, welche die Abschnitte während der Bearbeitung unterstützen, so dass ein Brechen oder Reißen der Abschnitte vermieden wird, bzw. eine stanzende Bearbeitung der Abschnitte überhaupt ermöglicht wird. Hierbei ist ebenso von Nachteil, dass die Stanzwerkzeuge in unterschiedlichen Ebenen arbeiten müssen, was die gleichzeitige Bearbeitung beider Abschnitte deutlich erschwert. Ein Nacheinanderbearbeiten der beiden Abschnitte ist zwar möglich, jedoch sehr zeitintensiv. Ähnliche Schwierigkeiten ergeben sich beispielsweise beim Bedrucken oder Beschichten der nach außen liegenden Seiten der Abschnitte. Auch hier müssen entweder die entsprechenden Bedruck- oder Beschichtungsvorrichtungen der komplexen Geometrie des Profilsegmentes angepasst werden, was möglicherweise nur durch zwei separate Vorrichtungen gelingt. Oder aber es wird zuerst einer der Abschnitte bearbeitet und nach einer entsprechenden Rotation des Profilsegmentes wird der zweite Abschnitt bearbeitet.A disadvantage of the profile segment known from the prior art is the fact that machining of the sections of the profile segment due to the cross-sectional geometry described difficulties. For example, if holes are to be punched into the sections, then specially shaped counter supports are needed to assist the sections during processing, thus avoiding breakage or tearing of the sections, or permitting punching of the sections at all. This is also disadvantageous in that the punching tools must work in different planes, which makes the simultaneous processing of both sections significantly more difficult. Post-processing of the two sections is possible, but very time consuming. Similar difficulties arise, for example, when printing or coating the outward sides of the sections. Again, either the corresponding printing or coating devices of the complex geometry of the profile segment must be adjusted, which may be possible only by two separate devices. Or, first, one of the sections is edited, and after a corresponding rotation of the profile segment, the second section is edited.
Ist dagegen eine Bearbeitung der nach innen weisenden Seite der Abschnitte geplant - beispielsweise durch einen Pressprozess, bei dem auf den nach außen weisenden Seiten der Abschnitte ein erhabenes Profil realisiert werden soll - so wird dies durch die schlechte Zugänglichkeit der nach innen weisenden Seite der Abschnitte erschwert bzw. vollkommen verhindert.If, however, a processing of the inwardly facing side of the sections planned - for example, by a pressing process in which on the outwardly facing sides of the sections a raised profile to be realized - this is hampered by the poor accessibility of the inwardly facing side of the sections or completely prevented.
Weiterhin von Nachteil ist die umständliche Erwärmung der Verbindungsstelle der Abschnitte, um eine entsprechende Umformung zu einem geschlossenen Profil zu realisieren.Another disadvantage is the cumbersome heating of the junction of the sections to realize a corresponding transformation to a closed profile.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Profilsegment zu schaffen, welches die aufgeführten Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermeidet.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a profile segment which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 sowie des Anspruches 16.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1 and claim 16.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Further advantageous embodiments are described in the subclaims.
Das erfindungsgemäße Profilsegment der eingangs genannten Art ist gegenüber dem gattungsgemäßen Profilsegment dadurch verbessert, dass einer der Abschnitte wenigstens mit einer seiner Längsseiten, mit einer dieser gegenüberliegenden Längsseite eines benachbarten dieser Abschnitte zumindest abschnittsweise beweglich über ein Verbindungsmittel verbunden ist, so dass die Abschnitte von einem unmontierten Zustand, in dem die Abschnitte ein bezüglich Ihres Querschnitts offenes Profil bilden, in einen montierten Zustand, in welchem die Abschnitte ein bezüglich ihres Querschnittes geschlossenes Profil bilden, überführbar sind.The profile segment according to the invention of the type mentioned above is compared with the generic profile segment improved in that one of the sections at least one of its longitudinal sides, with one of these opposite longitudinal side of an adjacent these sections at least partially connected via a connecting means, so that the sections of an unassembled Condition in which the sections form an open profile with respect to their cross-section, in an assembled state, in which the sections form a closed profile with respect to their cross-section, can be transferred.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass durch die beschriebene bewegliche Verbindung über das Verbindungsmittel die Abschnitte dergestalt anordnungsbar sind, dass eine leichte und effiziente Bearbeitung der Abschnitte des Profilsegments ermöglicht wird. Beispielsweise lassen sich die Abschnitte nebeneinander und im Wesentlichen in einer Ebene liegend anordnen, wodurch sich die Bearbeitung besonders einfach gestaltet. So können die Abschnitte in besagter Anordnung auf einer ebenen Unterlage abgelegt und von Maschinen bearbeitet werden, deren Werkzeug ebenfalls nur in einer Ebene ausgerichtet sind. Dies erlaubt eine sehr rationelle und kostengünstige Fertigung.It has been found that the described movable connection via the connecting means, the sections are arranged such that an easy and efficient processing of the sections of the profile segment is made possible. For example, the sections can be arranged next to one another and lying essentially in one plane, which makes the machining particularly simple. Thus, the sections can be placed in said arrangement on a flat surface and machined by machines whose tools are also aligned in one plane. This allows a very rational and cost-effective production.
Es kann von Vorteil sein, dass die Abschnitte in einem Winkel zwischen 90° und 270° zueinander, vorzugsweise in einem Winkel von 180° zueinander anordnungsbar sind. Dadurch ist eine weitgehende Lageänderung der Abschnitte möglich, so dass eine optimierte Anpassung an die Fertigungsbedingungen möglich ist.It may be advantageous that the sections can be arranged at an angle between 90 ° and 270 ° to one another, preferably at an angle of 180 ° to one another. As a result, a substantial change in position of the sections is possible, so that an optimized adaptation to the manufacturing conditions is possible.
Ebenso kann von Vorteil sein, dass das Verbindungsmittel zumindest mit einem der Abschnitte, vorzugsweise mit beiden Abschnitten einstückig ausgebildet ist, vorzugsweise über ein Filmscharnier. Hierdurch gelingt eine sehr einfache und effektive Art der Verbindung mit deutlichen Vorteilen bezüglich der Produktion.It may also be advantageous that the connecting means is formed integrally with at least one of the sections, preferably with two sections, preferably via a film hinge. This achieves a very simple and effective type of connection with significant advantages in terms of production.
Es kann weiterhin von Vorteil sein, dass das Verbindungsmittel zumindest mit einem der Abschnitte, vorzugsweise mit beiden Abschnitten stoffschlüssig verbunden ist, vorzugsweise über ein Weichscharnier. Dadurch ist eine besonders flexible Art der Verbindung möglich. Es liegt jedoch auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, das Verbindungsmittel kostengünstig als Filmscharnier auszubilden.It may also be advantageous that the connecting means is connected to at least one of the sections, preferably with two sections cohesively, preferably via a soft hinge. As a result, a particularly flexible type of connection is possible. However, it is also within the scope of the invention to form the connecting means inexpensively as a film hinge.
Zudem kann es von Vorteil sein, dass das Verbindungsmittel zumindest mit einem der Abschnitte, vorzugsweise mit beiden Abschnitten formschlüssig verbunden ist. Hieraus folgt eine sehr zuverlässige und kostengünstige Art der Verbindung.In addition, it may be advantageous that the connecting means is positively connected at least with one of the sections, preferably with both sections. This results in a very reliable and cost-effective way of connection.
Außerdem kann es von Vorteil sein, dass das Verbindungsmittel ein Gelenkelement ist. Auch hieraus resultiert eine besonders flexible Verbindung.In addition, it may be advantageous that the connecting means is a hinge element. This also results in a particularly flexible connection.
Vorteilhaft kann sein, dass zumindest einer der Abschnitte und das mit diesem verbundene Verbindungsmittel, vorzugsweise sämtliche Abschnitte des Profilsegments und das oder die mit diesem/diesen verbundene/verbundenen Verbindungsmittel, durch einen Extrusi- onsprozess oder durch einen Coextrusionsprozess herstellbar ist bzw. sind. Diese Prozesse gewährleisten eine kontinuierliche und damit effiziente und preisgünstige Herstellung der Profilsegmente. Es kann sich als günstig erweisen, wenn die Abschnitte zumindest an den mit dem Verbindungsmittel verbundenen Längsseiten gegenüberliegenden Längsseiten verbindbar sind. Dadurch kann eine sichere und verlässliche Verbindung der beiden Abschnitte realisiert werden.It can be advantageous that at least one of the sections and the connection means connected thereto, preferably all sections of the profile segment and the connection means connected to the latter, can be produced by an extrusion process or by a coextrusion process. These processes ensure a continuous and thus efficient and cost-effective production of the profile segments. It may prove to be advantageous if the sections are connectable to longitudinal sides opposite at least the longitudinal sides connected to the connecting means. As a result, a secure and reliable connection of the two sections can be realized.
Ebenso kann sich als günstig erweisen, wenn die Abschnitte formschlüssig und/oder stoffschlüssig miteinander verbindbar sind. Dies garantiert eine besonders stabile Verbindung.It may also prove to be beneficial if the sections are positively and / or cohesively connected to each other. This guarantees a particularly stable connection.
Weiterhin kann es sich als günstig erweisen, wenn die Abschnitte über zumindest ein Befestigungsmittel, vorzugsweise über ein Rastmittel, miteinander verbindbar sind. Diese Befestigungsmittel erlauben ebenfalls eine sichere, verlässliche Verbindung, wobei die Verbindung montagetechnisch sehr leicht und schnell realisiert werden kann.Furthermore, it may prove to be advantageous if the sections are connectable to one another via at least one fastening means, preferably via a latching means. These fasteners also allow a secure, reliable connection, the connection assembly technology can be very easily and quickly realized.
Vorteilhaft kann auch sein, dass die Abschnitte und/oder das Verbindungsmittel aus einem polymeren Material, vorzugsweise aus einem thermoplastischen Polymer wie Polypropylen oder Polyvinylchlorid sind. Derartige Materialien lassen sich einfach verarbeiten und besitzen darüber hinaus günstige mechanische Eigenschaften bei gleichzeitig niedrigem Preis.It can also be advantageous that the sections and / or the connecting means are made of a polymeric material, preferably of a thermoplastic polymer such as polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride. Such materials can be easily processed and also have favorable mechanical properties at the same time low price.
Außerdem kann es vorteilhaft sein, dass das Verbindungsmittel aus einem elastomeren bzw. elastomerartigen Material ist, vorzugsweise aus Silikon, Kautschuk, Polyurethan, Weich-PVC, einem Styorol-Ethenbuten-Styrol-Compound (SEBS-Compound) oder einem thermoplastischen Elastomer. Diese Materialien sind hochflexibel und erlauben damit eine äußerst bewegliche Verbindung der Abschnitte.In addition, it may be advantageous that the connecting means is made of an elastomeric or elastomeric material, preferably of silicone, rubber, polyurethane, flexible PVC, a styrenol-ethene-butyne-styrene compound (SEBS compound) or a thermoplastic elastomer. These materials are highly flexible and thus allow a very flexible connection of the sections.
Es kann von Vorteil sein, dass zumindest einer der Abschnitte wenigstens eine Durchgangsöffnung aufweist. Dies kann günstig sein beim Einsatz des montierten Profilsegments, beispielsweise in einem Rollladen, hinsichtlich einer beabsichtigten Schalldämmung.It may be advantageous for at least one of the sections to have at least one passage opening. This can be favorable when using the assembled profile segment, for example in a roller shutter, with regard to an intended sound insulation.
Zudem kann es von Vorteil sein, dass zumindest an einem der Abschnitte ein Element, vorzugsweise ein schalldämmendes Element, angeordnet ist. Dies wirkt sich günstig hinsichtlich des Schallschutzes beim Einsatz des montierten Profilsegmentes, beispielsweise in einem Rollladen, aus. Dabei kann es von Vorteil sein, dass das Element aus einem luft- bzw. schalldurchlässigen Material wie Vlies oder aus einem porösen Material, wie Schaum, besteht. Diese Materialien eignen sich insbesondere für den Schallschutz. Es liegt jedoch auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass das Element als Dekorelement ausgebildet ist.In addition, it may be advantageous for an element, preferably a sound-insulating element, to be arranged at least on one of the sections. This has a favorable effect in terms of sound insulation when using the mounted profile segment, for example in a roller shutter. It may be advantageous that the element consists of an air- or sound-permeable material such as fleece or of a porous material, such as foam. These materials are particularly suitable for sound insulation. However, it is also within the scope of the invention that the element is designed as a decorative element.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich zudem auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Profilsegmentes mit den Schritten: Erzeugen des Profilsegments mit zumindest zwei in Längsrichtung des Profilsegments verlaufender und beweglich miteinander verbundener Abschnitte, wobei das Profilsegment ein bezüglich seines Querschnitts offenes Profil aufweist; Bearbeiten und/oder Konfektionieren des Profilsegmentes; Überführung des Profilsegments aus dem Zustand, in dem sein Querschnitt ein offenen Profil aufweist, in einen Zustand, in dem sein Querschnitt ein geschlossenes Profil aufweist.The invention also relates to a method for producing a profile segment comprising the steps of: producing the profile segment with at least two sections extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile segment and movably connected to one another, wherein the profile segment has an open profile with respect to its cross section; Processing and / or packaging of the profile segment; Transfer of the profile segment from the state in which its cross section has an open profile, in a state in which its cross section has a closed profile.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren erlaubt auf einfache Weise das nach dem Erzeugen des Profilsegments durchzuführende Bearbeiten und/oder Konfektionieren des Profilsegments, indem die das Profilsegment bildenden Abschnitte beweglich miteinander verbunden sind, und das Profilsegment nach dem Herstellen zunächst ein bezüglich seines Querschnitts offenes Profil aufweist. Auf diese Weise ist es beispielsweise möglich, die Abschnitte nebeneinander und im Wesentlichen in einer Ebene liegend anzuordnen, und in diesem Zustand auf einer entsprechenden ebenen Unterlage abzulegen. Hierdurch erfahren die Abschnitte die zur Bearbeitung notwendige Unterstützung, wobei die besagte Unterstützung sehr leicht realisiert werden kann. Durch die zuvor beschriebene, nebeneinander liegende Anordnung ist darüber hinaus eine sehr gute Zugänglichkeit zu den jeweiligen Oberflächen der Abschnitte gegeben. Dies erlaubt neben der erwähnten leichten mechanischen Bear- beitbarkeit auch eine leichte Konfektionierung der Abschnitte, beispielsweise durch Beschichten, Bedrucken, Kaschieren oder Hinterspritzen.The inventive method allows in a simple manner to be carried out after the generation of the profile segment editing and / or assembly of the profile segment by the profile segment forming sections are movably connected to each other, and the profile segment after manufacturing initially has an open profile with respect to its cross-section. In this way, it is possible, for example, to arrange the sections next to each other and lying substantially in one plane, and to deposit them in this state on a corresponding flat base. As a result, the sections undergo the support necessary for processing, and said support can be realized very easily. By the above-described, juxtaposed arrangement is also given a very good accessibility to the respective surfaces of the sections. In addition to the aforementioned easy machinability, this also makes it possible to easily manufacture the sections, for example by coating, printing, laminating or back-spraying.
Zudem können auf einfache Weise Einlegeteile, wie z.B. Schalldämmmatten, thermische Dämmmatten oder Designelemente sehr leicht in den bzw. die Abschnitte eingebracht werden. Durch das beschriebene Verfahren ist es außerdem möglich, Profile mit großen Deckbreiten ohne innere Versteifungsstege zu realisieren.In addition, inserts such as e.g. Sound insulation mats, thermal insulation mats or design elements are very easily introduced into the sections or sections. By the method described, it is also possible to realize profiles with large deck widths without inner stiffening webs.
Nach dem Bearbeiten und/oder Konfektionieren können die behandelten Abschnitte leicht entweder manuell oder maschinell zusammengeklappt werden, wodurch aus dem vormals offenen Querschnittprofil ein geschlossenes Querschnittprofil resultiert. Es kann von Vorteil sein, dass das Profilsegment durch einen Extrusionsprozess, vorzugsweise durch einen Coextrusionsprozess, hergestellt wird. Die Extrusion erlaubt eine sehr rationelle Fertigung, insbesondere bei lang gestreckten Profilsegmenten. Insbesondere bei der Verwendung eines die Abschnitte verbindenden Weichscharniers, beispielsweise aus einem elastomeren Material, bietet sich der Coextrusionsprozess an. Dabei kann in einem Prozessschritt die Kombination des Verbindungsmittels mit den Abschnitten trotz vollkommen unterschiedlicher Materialien von Verbindungsmitteln und den Abschnitten vollzogen werden.After processing and / or assembly, the treated sections can easily be folded either manually or mechanically, resulting in a closed cross-sectional profile from the formerly open cross-sectional profile. It may be advantageous that the profile segment is produced by an extrusion process, preferably by a coextrusion process. The extrusion allows a very efficient production, especially in elongated profile segments. In particular, when using a soft hinge connecting the sections, for example of an elastomeric material, the coextrusion process is suitable. In this case, in a process step, the combination of the bonding agent with the sections despite completely different materials of connecting means and the sections are completed.
Vorteilhaft kann ebenso sein, dass wenigstens einer der Abschnitte materialabtragend bearbeitet wird, vorzugsweise durch Stanzen, Bohren, Fräsen oder Lasern. Dies kann für den Einsatz des montierten Profilsegments, beispielsweise in einem Rollladen, vorteilhaft sein.It may also be advantageous that at least one of the sections is machined, preferably by stamping, drilling, milling or laser cutting. This can be advantageous for the use of the mounted profile segment, for example in a roller shutter.
Zudem kann von Vorteil sein, dass die Abschnitte von der Seite bearbeitet werden, die nach Überführung von dem offenen Profil bildenden Zustand in den geschlossenen Profilbildenden Zustand innenliegend sind. Dadurch kann ein besseres Erscheinungsbild des montierten Profilsegments erzielt werden.In addition, it may be advantageous that the sections are machined from the side which are internal after the transition from the open profile forming state to the closed profile forming state. This allows a better appearance of the assembled profile segment can be achieved.
Es kann sich als günstig erweisen, wenn die Abschnitte während der Bearbeitung, zumindest abschnittsweise, in Anlage mit einer als Gegenhalter fungierenden Oberfläche sind. Dadurch wird eine leichte Bearbeitung der Abschnitte ermöglicht, und die Gefahr des Brechens oder Reißens der Abschnitte wird reduziert.It can prove to be advantageous if the sections during machining, at least in sections, are in contact with a counteracting surface. This allows easy processing of the sections and reduces the risk of breakage or tearing of the sections.
Ebenso kann es sich als günstig erweisen, wenn wenigstens einer der Abschnitte in einem Pressprozess bearbeitet wird. Dies kann vorteilhaft sein hinsichtlich des Erscheinungsbildes des montierten Profilsegments.Likewise, it can prove to be advantageous if at least one of the sections is processed in a pressing process. This can be advantageous in terms of the appearance of the mounted profile segment.
Außerdem kann es sich als günstig erweisen, wenn wenigstens einer der Abschnitte materialauftragend bearbeitet wird, vorzugsweise durch Bedrucken, Beschichten, Hinterspritzen oder Kaschieren. Dies wirkt sich ebenso vorteilhaft auf das Erscheinungsbild des montierten Profilsegments aus. Es kann vorteilhaft sein, dass wenigstens in einen Abschnitt zumindest eine Durchgangsöffnung eingebracht wird. Dies kann sich günstig auswirken auf den Einsatz des montierten Profilsegments, beispielsweise in einem Rollladen, insbesondere mit Hinsicht auf einen Schallschutz.In addition, it may prove to be advantageous if at least one of the sections is processed material-loading, preferably by printing, coating, back molding or laminating. This also has an advantageous effect on the appearance of the assembled profile segment. It can be advantageous that at least one passage opening is introduced into at least one section. This can have a favorable effect on the use of the mounted profile segment, for example in a roller shutter, in particular with regard to sound insulation.
Es kann weiterhin vorteilhaft sein, dass wenigstens an einem Abschnitte ein Element angebracht wird, vorzugsweise ein schalldämmendes Element. Dies bringt ebenso Vorteile hinsichtlich des Schallschutzes bei dem montierten Profilsegment, beispielsweise beim Einsatz in einen Rollladen.It may also be advantageous that at least at one section an element is attached, preferably a sound-insulating element. This also brings advantages in terms of sound insulation in the assembled profile segment, for example when used in a roller shutter.
Dabei kann vorteilhaft sein, dass das Element nach dem Bearbeiten des Profilsegments angebracht wird. Dies bringt fertigungstechnische Vorteile mit sich.It may be advantageous that the element is attached after editing the profile segment. This brings manufacturing advantages with it.

Figur 1a zeigt eine Querschnittsdarstellung einer Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Profilsegments in unmontiertem Zustand. Das Profilsegment 1 umfasst die beiden Abschnitte 2, 3 und das die beiden Abschnitte verbindende Verbindungsmittel 4. Dabei sind die beiden Abschnitte 2,3 nebeneinander liegend angeordnet. Die Abschnitte 2,3 weisen im Wesentlichen die gleiche Breite auf, beispielsweise etwa 28 mm. Die Wandstärke der Abschnitte 2,3 ist im Wesentlichen gleich und beträgt beispielsweise 1 ,3 mm. Andere Breiten und Wandstärken sind ebenso möglich. Die Abschnitte 2,3 sind aus Kunststoff, vorzugsweise aus Polypropylen oder Polyvinylchlorid. Das als Weichscharnier fungierende Verbindungsmittel 4 besteht aus einem elastomeren bzw. elastomerartigem Material, vorzugsweise aus Polyurethan, Weich-PVC, Silikon, Kautschuk, einem Styrol-Ethenbuten-Styrol-Compound oder einem thermoplastisch verarbeitbaren Elastomer. Die Abschnitte 2, 3 und das Verbindungsmittel 4 sind stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden. Ebenso ist eine formschlüssige Verbindung denkbar. Die Abschnitte 2,3 weisen jeweils zwei Befestigungsmittel 5 auf, die als Rastmittel ausgebildet sind. An einem der Abschnitte 3 sind Verbindungselemente 8, 9 angeordnet, die zum Verbinden des Profilsegments 1 mit weiteren Profilsegmenten dienen. Dabei ist das Verbindungselement 9 einstückig mit dem Abschnitt 3 verbunden, während das Verbindungselement 8 über den als Weichscharnier fungierenden elastischen Abschnitt 10 mit dem Abschnitt 3 verbunden ist. Ebenso kann das Verbindungselement 8 einstückig mit dem Abschnitt 3 ausgeführt sein. Der elastische Abschnitt 10 besteht aus einem elastomeren bzw. elastomerartigen Material. Die Verbindungselemente 8, 9 weisen im Wesentlichen eine zueinander komplementäre Geometrie auf. An einem der Abschnitte 2 ist ein schalldämmendes Element 7 angeordnet. Elemente mit anderen Funktionen sind ebenfalls möglich. Das schalldämmende Element 7 besitzt im Wesentlichen die gleiche Länge wie der Abschnitt 2 und wird durch die Befestigungsmittel 5 in seiner Lage fixiert. Andere Anordnungen, in denen das Element 7 an anderen Positionen angeordnet ist bzw. das Element 7 andersartig fixiert ist, sind e- benso möglich. Das Element 7 weist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel im Wesentlichen die gleiche Wandstärke wie die Abschnitte 2, 3 auf.FIG. 1a shows a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the profile segment according to the invention in the unassembled state. The profile segment 1 comprises the two sections 2, 3 and the connection means 4 connecting the two sections. The two sections 2, 3 are arranged lying side by side. The sections 2, 3 have substantially the same width, for example about 28 mm. The wall thickness of the sections 2, 3 is essentially the same and is, for example, 1.3 mm. Other widths and wall thicknesses are also possible. The sections 2, 3 are made of plastic, preferably of polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride. The acting as a soft hinge connecting means 4 consists of an elastomeric or elastomerartigem material, preferably of polyurethane, flexible PVC, silicone, rubber, a styrene-ethene-butene-styrene compound or a melt-processable elastomer. The sections 2, 3 and the connecting means 4 are integrally connected to each other. Likewise, a positive connection is conceivable. The sections 2, 3 each have two fastening means 5, which are designed as latching means. At one of the sections 3 connecting elements 8, 9 are arranged, which serve for connecting the profile segment 1 with further profile segments. In this case, the connecting element 9 is integrally connected to the section 3, while the connecting element 8 is connected via the elastic hinge acting as a soft portion 10 with the section 3. Likewise, the connecting element 8 can be designed in one piece with the section 3. The elastic portion 10 is made of an elastomeric or elastomeric material. The connecting elements 8, 9 essentially have a mutually complementary geometry. At one of the sections 2, a sound-insulating element 7 is arranged. Elements with other functions are also possible. The sound-absorbing element 7 has substantially the same length as the section 2 and is fixed by the fastening means 5 in its position. Other arrangements in which the element 7 is arranged at other positions or the element 7 is fixed differently are also possible. The element 7 has in this embodiment substantially the same wall thickness as the sections 2, 3.

Die in unmontiertem Zustand nebeneinander liegend angeordneten Abschnitte 2, 3 sind nun im Wesentlichen übereinander angeordnet. Die Befestigungsmittel 5 der Abschnitte 2, 3 befinden sich in gegenseitigem Eingriff, und es resultiert eine geschlossene Hohlprofilstruktur. Ein Teil eines Befestigungsmittels 5 befindet sich in Kontakt mit dem schalldämmenden Element 7. Die Figuren 2a und 2b zeigen eine zweite Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Profilsegments 1. Figur 2a zeigt das entsprechende Profilsegment 1 im Querschnitt, während Figur 2b eine korrespondierende Draufsicht darstellt. In den Figuren 2a und 2b wurden die gleichen Bezugsnummern wie in den Figuren 1a und 1 b zur Bezeichnung identischer oder entsprechender Elemente verwendet.The juxtaposed in unmounted state sections 2, 3 are now arranged substantially one above the other. The fastening means 5 of the sections 2, 3 are in mutual engagement, resulting in a closed hollow profile structure. A part of a fixing means 5 is in contact with the sound insulating member 7. FIGS. 2a and 2b show a second embodiment of the profile segment 1 according to the invention. FIG. 2a shows the corresponding profile segment 1 in cross section, while FIG. 2b shows a corresponding plan view. In FIGS. 2a and 2b, the same reference numbers as in FIGS. 1a and 1b have been used to designate identical or corresponding elements.
Gegenüber der vorstehenden Beschreibung weisen die Abschnitte 2, 3 eine Änderung dergestalt auf, dass sie Durchgangsöffnungen 6 besitzen. Diese Durchgangsöffnungen 6 sind im Wesentlichen kreisförmig. Benachbarte Durchgangsöffnungen 6 weisen im Wesentlichen den gleichen Abstand zueinander auf. Die Durchgangsöffnungen 6 des Abschnitts 2 sind größer als die Durchgangsöffnungen 6 des Abschnitts 3, wobei die Anzahl an Durchgangsöffnungen 6 des Abschnitts 3 größer ist, als die Anzahl an Durchgangsöffnungen 6 des Abschnitts 2 pro Längenabschnitt. Andere Anordnungen bzw. andere Geometrien der Durchgangsöffnungen 6 sind denkbar.Compared to the above description, the sections 2, 3 have a modification such that they have passage openings 6. These passage openings 6 are substantially circular. Adjacent passage openings 6 have substantially the same distance from one another. The passage openings 6 of the section 2 are larger than the passage openings 6 of the section 3, the number of passage openings 6 of the section 3 being greater than the number of passage openings 6 of the section 2 per longitudinal section. Other arrangements or other geometries of the passage openings 6 are conceivable.
Figur 3 zeigt drei miteinander verbundene, montierte Profilsegmente mit Durchgangsöffnungen 6 in Abschnitt 3. Die Profilsegmente sind über die Verbindungselemente 8, 9, die sich in Eingriff miteinander befinden, verbunden. Die Abschnitte 3 der einzelnen Profilsegmente befinden sich zumindest abschnittsweise in gegenseitiger Anlage.Figure 3 shows three interconnected assembled profile segments with through holes 6 in section 3. The profile segments are connected via the connecting elements 8, 9, which are in engagement with each other. The sections 3 of the individual profile segments are at least partially in mutual contact.
Nachfolgend wird die Wirkungs- und Funktionsweise der Erfindung näher erläutert.The operation and operation of the invention will be explained in more detail.
Das Profilsegment 1 dient zum Bilden eines Hohlprofils, wobei mehrere dieser Hohlprofile miteinander verbindbar sind, um beispielsweise einen Rollladen zu bilden. Bei dem aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Profilsegment mit zwei einstückig miteinander verbundenen Abschnitten bilden besagte Abschnitte ein im Wesentlichen V-förmiges Querschnittsprofil. Nach entsprechender Bearbeitung wird das V-förmige Profil in ein geschlossenes Querschnittsprofil überführt, in dem die Verbindungsstelle der beiden Abschnitte erwärmt wird, die Abschnitte dann aufeinander zu bewegt werden und über Rastmittel miteinander verrastet werden. Die beschriebene V-förmige Geometrie bereitet jedoch große Schwierigkeiten bei der Bearbeitung des Profilsegmentes. Sollen beispielsweise Löcher in die Abschnitte gestanzt werden, so müssen dafür speziell gefertigte Gegenhalter verwendet werden, was den Fertigungsaufwand deutlich erhöht. Auch die beschriebene Erwärmung des Profilsegments ist aus rationellen und wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten nachteilig. Das erfindungsgemäße Profilsegment 1 hingegen lässt sich aufgrund der beweglichen Verbindung der Abschnitte 2, 3 in eine für die nachfolgende Verarbeitung günstige Form bringen. So lassen sich beispielsweise die beiden über das Verbindungsmittel 4 verbundenen Abschnitte 2,3 nebeneinander liegend anordnen. Das Verbindungsmittel 4 kann hierbei einstückig als Filmscharnier mit den Abschnitten ausgeführt sein, oder aber aus einem völlig anderem Werkstoff als die Abschnitte 2,3 bestehen. Günstig sind in diesem Zusammenhang elastomere Materialien, die eine besonders hohe Flexibilität gewährleisten. Die Verbindung kann hierbei form- oder stoffschlüssig mit den Abschnitten 2,3ausgeführt sein. Hierzu eignet sich insbesondere ein Coextrusionsverfahren. Auch eine gelenkige Verbindung der beiden Abschnitte 2,3 ist denkbar.The profile segment 1 is used to form a hollow profile, wherein a plurality of these hollow profiles are connected to each other, for example, to form a roller shutter. In the profile segment known from the prior art with two integrally connected sections, said sections form a substantially V-shaped cross-sectional profile. After appropriate processing, the V-shaped profile is converted into a closed cross-sectional profile, in which the junction of the two sections is heated, the sections are then moved toward each other and are latched together via latching means. The described V-shaped geometry, however, causes great difficulties in the processing of the profile segment. If, for example, holes are to be punched into the sections, then specially manufactured counter-holders must be used, which considerably increases the manufacturing outlay. The described heating of the profile segment is disadvantageous from a rational and economic point of view. The profile segment 1 according to the invention, however, can be due to the movable connection of the sections 2, 3 bring in a favorable for subsequent processing form. Thus, for example, the two sections 2, 3 connected via the connecting means 4 can be arranged next to one another. The connecting means 4 may in this case be made in one piece as a film hinge with the sections, or consist of a completely different material than the sections 2, 3. Favorable in this context are elastomeric materials which ensure a particularly high flexibility. The connection can be executed here form-fit or cohesively with the sections 2, 3. In particular, a coextrusion process is suitable for this purpose. An articulated connection of the two sections 2, 3 is also conceivable.
Sind die beiden Abschnitte 2, 3 des Profilsegments 1 wie beschrieben nebeneinander liegend angeordnet, ergibt sich eine besonders einfache Möglichkeit der Bearbeitung. Die Abschnitte können hierbei auf einer als Gegenhalter fungierenden ebenen Unterlage platziert werden, welche das Profilsegment während der Bearbeitung unterstützt. Das zu bearbeitende Werkzeug kann dadurch in einer Ebene bewegt werden, was besonders für eine Onlinefertigung von Bedeutung ist.If the two sections 2, 3 of the profile segment 1 are arranged side by side as described, the result is a particularly simple possibility of machining. The sections can hereby be placed on an opposing flat support, which supports the profile segment during processing. The tool to be machined can thereby be moved in a plane, which is particularly important for online production of importance.
Durch die bewegliche Verbindung der Abschnitte 2,3 des Profilsegments 1 und der damit verbundenen Freiheit bezüglich der Anordnung der beiden Abschnitte 2,3 zueinander, ist beispielsweise bei der oben beschriebenen nebeneinander liegenden Anordnung zudem eine sehr gute Zugänglichkeit für die Bearbeitung der Abschnitte 2,3 gegeben. So sind mechanische Bearbeitungsverfahren wie Bedrucken, Beschichten, Kaschieren oder Hinterspritzen sehr einfach realisierbar. Auch das Einbringen von Elementen 7 wie Schalldämmmatten, Vliese, thermische Dämmmatten oder Designelemente ist einfach zu bewerkstelligen.Due to the movable connection of the sections 2, 3 of the profile segment 1 and the freedom associated therewith with respect to the arrangement of the two sections 2, 3, a very good accessibility for the machining of the sections 2, 3, for example, in the arrangement described above, is also possible given. Thus, mechanical processing methods such as printing, coating, laminating or back injection are very easy to implement. The introduction of elements 7 such as sound insulation mats, nonwovens, thermal insulation mats or design elements is easy to accomplish.
Nach der Bearbeitung der Abschnitte 2,3 des Profilsegments 1 lassen sich diese sehr einfach über die bewegliche Verbindung zu einem geschlossenem Hohlprofil zusammenklappen, wobei die Abschnitte 2,3 beispielsweise über Rastmittel 5 verbunden werden. Denkbar sind auch Klebe- oder Schweißverbindungen. Eine besonders hohe mechanische Stabilität lässt sich über die Kombination von formschlüssiger mit stoffschlüssiger Verbindung realisieren. Es liegt jedoch auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass nur die Rastmittel 5 Stoff- bzw. formschlüssig miteinander verbunden sind. Über an den Abschnitten angeordnete Verbindungselemente 8, 9 lassen sich mehrere montierte Profilsegmente miteinander verbinden, wobei diese Verbindung vorzugsweise gelenkig ausgeführt ist. Möglich ist zudem, die Verbindungselemente 8,9 über ein Weich- scharnier 10 mit den Abschnitten zu verbinden, was der Konstruktion aus mehreren miteinander verbundenen Profilsegmenten eine hohe Flexibilität verleiht.After processing the sections 2, 3 of the profile segment 1, these can be very easily folded together via the movable connection to form a closed hollow profile, the sections 2, 3 being connected, for example, via latching means 5. Also conceivable are adhesive or welded joints. A particularly high mechanical stability can be realized by the combination of form-fitting with cohesive connection. However, it is also within the scope of the invention that only the locking means 5 are material or positively connected with each other. By means of connecting elements 8, 9 arranged on the sections, a plurality of assembled profile segments can be connected to one another, wherein this connection is preferably articulated. It is also possible to connect the connecting elements 8,9 via a soft hinge 10 with the sections, which gives the construction of a plurality of interconnected profile segments a high flexibility.
Nachfolgend wird das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Profilsegments erläutert.The method according to the invention for producing a profile segment will be explained below.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird zunächst das Profilsegment 1 mit zumindest zwei in Längsrichtung verlaufender und beweglich miteinander verbundener Abschnitte 2,3; wobei das Profilsegment 1 ein bezüglich seines Querschnittes offenes Profil aufweist, in einem Extrusionsverfahren erzeugt. Insbesondere zur Erzeugung eines Profilsegmentes 1 , bei welchem die Abschnitte 2,3 und das sie verbindende Verbindungsmittel 8,9 aus unterschiedlichen Werkstoffen bestehen und/oder wenn zwischen den Abschnitten 2,3 und den Verbindungsmitteln 8,9 eine formschlüssige Verbindung realisiert werden soll, kann das Coextrusionsverfahren angewandt werden. Andere Herstellungsverfahren sind ebenso denkbar.In the method according to the invention, first the profile segment 1 with at least two longitudinally extending and movably interconnected sections 2, 3; wherein the profile segment 1 has an open profile with respect to its cross-section, produced in an extrusion process. In particular for the production of a profile segment 1, in which the sections 2, 3 and the connecting means 8, 9 connecting them consist of different materials and / or if a positive connection is to be realized between the sections 2, 3 and the connecting means 8, 9 the co-extrusion process can be used. Other manufacturing methods are also conceivable.
Nach Austritt aus dem Extrusionswerkzeug und einem eventuell vorgeschalteten Abkühlvorgang wird das extrudierte Profilsegment 1 über einen Gegenhalter geführt. Als Gegenhalter kann beispielsweise eine Gegenrolle eingesetzt werden, jedoch sind auch andere geometrische Formen des Gegenhalters möglich. Aufgrund der beweglichen Verbindung der Abschnitte 2,3 können diese in weitreichender Weise ihre Lage zueinander verändern, wodurch eine derartige Anordnung möglich ist, dass die Abschnitte 2,3 durch den Gegenhalter eine gute Stützwirkung erfahren. Vorzugsweise sind die Abschnitte 2,3 im Wesentlichen nebeneinander und in einer Ebene liegend angeordnet und werden über einen entsprechend geformten ebenen Gegenhalter geführt.After exiting the extrusion die and a possibly preceding cooling process, the extruded profile segment 1 is passed over a counter-holder. As a counter-holder, for example, a counter-roll can be used, but other geometric shapes of the counter-holder are possible. Due to the movable connection of the sections 2, 3, they can change their position to each other in a far-reaching manner, whereby such an arrangement is possible that the sections 2, 3 experience a good support effect by the counter-holder. The sections 2, 3 are preferably arranged substantially next to one another and lying in one plane and are guided over a correspondingly shaped flat counter-holder.
Andere Anordnungen der Abschnitte2,3, beispielsweise zur entsprechenden Anpassung an die Geometrie des Gegenhalters sind denkbar. Im Bereich des Gegenhalters erfolgt die Bearbeitung und/oder Konfektionierung der Abschnitte 2,3. Mechanische Bearbeitungsverfahren umfassen das Stanzen, das Bohren, das Fräsen, das Pressen bzw. das Lasern. Zur Konfektionierung können die Abschnitte 2,3 beschichtet, bedruckt, kaschiert oder hinterspritzt werden. Bei der Konfektionierung und insbesondere bei der mechanischen Bearbeitung werden die Abschnitte 2,3 durch den Gegenhalter gestützt, so dass ein Brechen oder Reißen der Abschnitte 2,3 wirkungsvoll verhindert wird. Dadurch kann auf sonst übliche unterstützende Versteifungsstege verzichtet werden, und zudem sind Profilsegmente mit großen Deckbreiten ohne innere Versteifungsstege möglich.Other arrangements of the sections 2,3, for example for the corresponding adaptation to the geometry of the counter-holder are conceivable. In the area of the counter-holder, the processing and / or packaging of the sections 2, 3 takes place. Mechanical processing methods include stamping, drilling, milling, pressing and lasering. For packaging, sections 2,3 can be coated, printed, laminated or back-injected. During assembly, and in particular during mechanical processing, the sections 2, 3 are supported by the counter-holder, so that breaking or tearing of the sections 2, 3 is effectively prevented. This can be dispensed with otherwise supportive stiffening webs, and also profile segments with large deck widths without inner stiffening webs are possible.
Die beschriebenen mechanischen Bearbeitungsverfahren erfolgen dergestalt, dass die Abschnitte 2,3 von der Seite bearbeitet werden, die nach Überführung vom dem ein offenes Profil bildenden Zustand in den ein geschlossenes Profil bildenden Zustand innenliegend ist. Neben den zuvor erwähnten Konfektionierungsmaßnahmen kann die Konfektionierung auch über ein Einlegen eines Elementes 7 in die Abschnitte erfolgen. Bei dem Element 7 kann es sich um Schalldämmmatten, Vlies, thermische Dämmmatten, Designelemente oder Ähnliches handeln.The mechanical working methods described are such that the sections 2, 3 are machined from the side which is inboard after being transferred from the state forming the open profile to the closed profile forming state. In addition to the above-mentioned packaging measures, the assembly can also be done by inserting an element 7 in the sections. The element 7 can be sound insulation mats, fleece, thermal insulation mats, design elements or the like.
Nach dem Bearbeiten/Konfektionieren werden die Abschnitte 2,3 zusammengeklappt und miteinander verbunden, so dass das Profilsegment 1 aus dem Zustand, in dem sein Querschnitt ein offenes Profil aufweist, in einen Zustand, in dem sein Querschnitt ein geschlossenes Profil aufweist, vorzugsweise maschinell überführt. Die Verbindung erfolgt dabei ü- ber Rastmittel 5, die an den Abschnitten 2,3 ausgebildet sind. Ebenso ist eine Verschweißung bzw. Verklebung der Abschnitte 2,3 über bspw. die Rastmittel 5 möglich. Denkbar ist auch eine kombinierte Verbindung über Rastmittel 5 und Verklebung bzw. Verschweißung.After machining / finishing, the sections 2, 3 are folded together and connected to one another so that the profile segment 1 is preferably mechanically transferred from the state in which its cross section has an open profile to a state in which its cross section has a closed profile , The connection takes place via locking means 5, which are formed on the sections 2, 3. Likewise, a welding or bonding of the sections 2, 3 via, for example, the latching means 5 is possible. Also conceivable is a combined connection via latching means 5 and gluing or welding.
Die beschriebenen Verfahrensschritte erfolgen dabei online, eine Offline-Produktion ist ebenso denkbar. The process steps described are carried out online, an offline production is also conceivable.
