Abstract

The clamp mechanism to be fitted to one component (3,3') with a setting system (8), is used to apply the clamping action at the component. The clamp has a press body (10) filled with a pressure transfer medium (11), which can be at least partially distorted. An operating mechanism acts at least partially on the press body, to provide a clamping action by the clamp (2) at the components by a pressure alteration. The clamp unit is loosely fitted to one component, and the distortion is reversible at the press body.

Description

The invention relates to a clamping device according to the Oberbe handle of claim 1 and a mounting system with a sol Chen clamping device and a method for clamping connecting.

For example, DE 43 28 841 A1 describes a mechanical one Connection between two components known, little of which At least one component is located in a first axial direction stretching and of at least one projection and / or one Has recess formed profile section. This conn dung has a connector with at least one clamping element, with which to connect the components by mutual Bracing at least two acting on the components Connector elements in a second, perpendicular to the first ver running axial direction can be braced on the components. At least one connector element engages behind the on the at least one component provided profile section laterally from a surface of this component. The two connector elements are to be clamped to the two components by means of clamping elements acted upon, each formed by a screw are.

This connection has, inter alia. the disadvantage that the Verbinderele elements must be very stable, as they are only selectively are acted upon at the positions of the screws and however over its entire lengthwise extension parallel to the two construction share a sufficient force for a secure connection should raise. This means that the connector elements are quite heavy and use a lot of material when handling and transporting a great effort and overall ho he causes costs.

The connector elements bring another due to their design The disadvantage of having only limited dimensions in the May have longitudinal extension of the profile section. Thereby can in practice only be discrete, often far from each other stood places from z. B. two elongated profile sections different components are connected to each other. Between two attached connector element pairs, the Pro Move fil sections against each other, especially when on move them to transport devices or other parts be turned away. This could only be done with very sturdy, elongated ones Profile sections bearing or having components turned are insulated, which, however, are difficult to manufacture and to are to be handled, so that this also reduces the cost of corresponding appropriate orders because of the inadequate liaison work positions are very high.

A further disadvantage of the known connection is that the the connector elements form screws transversely to the longitudinal expansion of the profile section of the at least one component run away. This has the consequence that the screw heads to Her make or break the connection also from only one Transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal extent of the profile section tes are accessible. With large dimensions of the longitudinal expansion tion of the profile section and lying close together This leads to components because of the at any point Longitudinal expansion of the profile section lying connections often to the fact that the screw heads themselves with expensive and Complicated special tools cannot be reached and / or operated are feasible. In order to still have an appropriately built-in connection to be able to change the application or to add additional connections, parts of the already assembled components must then be dismantled which usually means a lot of effort and long times tet during which the structure cannot be used.

Another disadvantage is that the known connector elements that can be applied and thus the clamping forces on the Components are very limited. A secure connection of two components, especially if they are subject to vibration or shock loads are exposed to is with the known connection not possible. Therefore, such connections often have to be adjusted pulled or secured by welding, for example den, or there is a risk that a connection will be loosened and there is an accident in which a high level of property damage and in the worst case, personal injury can occur.

A method for connecting two components is also that DE 43 17 307 A1 can be found. The connection is made by two work parts by means of an elastic profile, which is made of egg nem elastically deformable hose part and a foot part be that is used to connect to one of the two parts of the work with this is glued. The connection with the other part of the work takes place through the introduction of the elastically deformable Hose part in a T-slot in this part of the factory, so that the Hose part engages behind the groove opening. The elastic pro fil is made by inserting a rigid or flexible rod in the elastically deformable hose part against a curl secured. With this method, a connection can be made produced between two parts of the work over their entire length but this is not rigid, i.e. H. stable against Schwin and shocks, and only possible with great effort. On the one hand the connection between the two parts of the work remains through the elastic ity of the foot part of the elastic profile is also flexible. Other On the other hand, a lot of strength and skill is required to handle the staff to push over a greater length into the hose part, whereby the length over which it is at all possible through the Rei forces between the hose part and the rod are narrow zen are set. At least it won't be easy either if it is at all possible in practice, a flexible one Rod over a significant length in a curved course of the hose part.

Furthermore, from DE OS 23 08 320 a device for Her position of a body from two profile rails under formation of a cavity known. In doing so, the two profile rails pushed into each other and one at the same time foaming and hardening filling compound between the two Pro sprayed felt rails. Such a connection is only possible via ei ne limited length can be produced because of the injected filling compound because of their foaming and hardening to another superimposed counteracting the pushing of the two profile rails. The out hardened filling compound then also prevents subsequent dismantling of the two connected rails, so that the connected Unit is only used for permanent structures and no changes made without losing the connected unit leads can be.

In DE 43 36 284 A1 a clamping device for a axially and / or rotatably mounted displaceably in a housing th body revealed. This facility is located at at least in sections between the housing and the body a liquid made up of a mixture of liquid crystals consists. Furthermore, means are provided that a pressure change and / or change in temperature of the liquid be Act. Such a clamping device is required because of the chen sealing of the housing with respect to the body is not included larger components can be used. In addition, it is very time-consuming form the body as one component in which a second component to mount the housing or the latter around the body.

The invention therefore aims to provide a clamping device create that are easy to operate and as inexpensive as possible is and thereby a secure jamming with a component possible.

This goal is achieved with a clamping device according to the claim 1 reached.

In a clamping device according to the invention for attachment to a component, with an adjusting device that clamps the clamping device can be acted upon on the component accordingly provided that the adjusting device has at least one contains partially deformable pressed body with a Pressure transmission medium is filled in by actuation facilities a the pressed body or at least a part of which ver for jamming the clamping device on the component shaping pressure change can be brought about.

This clamping device enables the clamping force generated evenly over the entire length of the clamp connection and is sustained. The deformable compact makes no other stable and mostly massive connecting elements required to transfer the clamping force. The Pressed body, as long as it is not applied, to easily together with the rest of the clamping device on or in the building part on or used and then to produce the Klem pressure can be applied. But it is also possible to use the press body finally between the rest of the clamping device and insert the component and finally to be jammed crack open. By appropriate design and arrangement only of a deformable part of the compact can be the clamping force be applied very precisely at a desired location, and evenly over a larger area, such as. B. at a joint of one behind the other in the longitudinal direction arranged profile rails.

In that the invention enables a uniform Clamping force over a z. B. provide a given length, Not only is a very firm hold achieved, but also a secure connection of the clamping device to each of them detected component, so that vibrations and shocks the clamping overall not being able to loosen or even loosen.

It is also the case with the clamping device according to the invention in principle possible, the actuators at each Place of the pressed body to be provided so that they can also be used in larger Superstructures are easily accessible.

Is of particular advantage in the clamping device according to Invention also that it can be built in such a way that it only works takes up little space. In particular, it won't be massive Clamping elements required.

Another advantage of the invention is that also with Use of various components on which the clamping device device is to be attached, only one type of pressed body and -ab measurement needs to be used. If necessary, a suitable The pressed body is removed from a blank in the appropriate length cut and in a required manner, for example by means of Sealing plugs are closed. It is therefore not necessary agile, e.g. B. to stock screws of different lengths, as required in the prior art according to DE 43 28 841 A1 is necessary to be able to clamp different profile thicknesses nen.

The fact that only with the clamping device according to the invention time an even clamping over the entire length of Components such as rails or beams are possible is, there is a further advantage of the invention in addition to safe, simple and permanent clamping, so to speak as a second function, a frictional vibration damping.

Although can with the clamping device according to the invention in depen ability of the compact and / or the pressure transfer medium in order to also establish a permanent, permanent connection den, however, it is preferred if the clamping device is releasable can be attached to a component by reversing the pressed body bel is deformable. The pressed body can be in its base be biased shape, which he without applying the pressure transmission medium occupies. If the re versibly deformable compact z. B. by resetting the Actuators away, so the pressed body turns itself active back to its basic form. That for such an execution tion used pressure transmission medium prevents the pressed body does not take part in this elastic recovery and adapts to it the new volume shape in the pressed body.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the pressed body is tubular or hose-like is formed and in particular a clamping tube. With preference is this type of construction further developed in that the actuators directions on at least one end face of the pipe or hose-like design of the pressed body or the clamping tube are arranged. So that on the one hand clamping devices also over a very long course with strand, groin or carrier-like components securely connected and on the other hand a good accessibility of the actuating devices is guaranteed become.

In the context of the invention, it is also preferred that the press body at least one by increasing the pressure in the pressure over Carrying medium contains bulging flat. This means that in be defined advantageously defined where the clamp strength arises.

The variant of the invention cited above can be used in ei nem tubular or hose-like shaped pressed body thereby can be further improved that the flattening is at least in essentially in the longitudinal extent of the pipe or hose like shaped pressed body extends. This makes it easier not only the joining of clamping device and component, but also ensures a reliable clamping effect over the corresponding expansion of the compact.

A preferred development of the embodiment described above the clamping device according to the invention is that the Pressed bodies on two at least substantially opposite one another Pages each one by increasing the pressure in the pressure transfer device dium contains a bulging flat. A particularly preferred one Version is made by a pressed body with an oval-shaped Cross-section achieved.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the pressed body the clamping device to form at least in one dimension coherent and, in particular, intervening intervention be formed in a correspondingly designed component.

In principle, according to the invention, the clamping can do it alone the compact can be accomplished. From stability and op For reasons of optimization, however, it is preferred that at least one Clamping element is provided by the adjusting device beauf to clamp the clamping device on the component is beatable. This makes it possible to correspond to the pressed body to be optimally designed according to its function and for the individual grabbed a correspondingly shaped and stable one with the component To use clamping element. However, it is not required Lich that these clamping elements are built so massive and stable are how the clamping elements according to DE 43 28 841 AI.

In the above variant of the invention, it is advantageous when the pressed body is at least substantially over the total extension of the clamping element transversely to the impact direction of the latter extends. This becomes a uniform high clamping effect guaranteed.

In connection with clamping elements, it is also advantageous if the clamping element to form at least in one dimension coherent and, in particular, intervening intervention is formed in a correspondingly designed component.

When using clamping elements, the pressed body can between a fixed wall of the clamping device and a clamping element be arranged and act. However, there are preferably two Clamping elements provided by a common Stellvor direction by means of a pressure change in the pressure transmission medium in different directions and especially in opposite directions opposite directions can be acted upon. It can correspond according to the assembly requirements also with clamping devices more than two clamping elements are used. Here you can Clamping elements, if necessary in pairs, through a common adjustment direction are applied. A charge of single NEN clamping elements each with a separate adjusting device tion or of more than two clamping elements with a common men adjusting device is just within the scope of the invention if included.

To the clamping device according to the invention easily on strand- or use rail-like components and required if to be able to move, it is an advantage if they Is designed like a sled or rider. Then one can such clamping device on or in an elongated and before added rail-like design of a component with a sol elongated and preferably rail-like design or used to z. B. Devices or machines lengthways move the elongated training to a desired location and to be able to hold there. An esp special program-controlled machine actuation of the Stell device are provided, so that if necessary with its own drive of a device or a machine its procedures the component and secure fixing in each approached position tion is possible in an automated manner.

A particularly firm and permanent connection of the clamping front direction according to the present invention with a component can be obtained in that the particular pipe or hose-like pressed bodies formed and arranged in such a way is that he seemed to be on the elongated and preferred like formation of the component attached clamping device at least approximately along the elongated and preferably schie nen-like formation of the component extends.

If the clamping element is designed and arranged in such a way, that it is on the elongated and preferably rail-like Aus formation of the component attached clamping device transversely to elongated and preferably rail-like training of the construction can partly be acted upon, as is a preferred development of the embodiments of the invention described above provides, can be a very efficient clamping with only little Operating effort can be achieved.

The fact that the possibly sled or rider-like training the clamping device for simultaneous engagement with längli Chen and preferably rail-like formations of two adjacent barter components is formed, can be easily white se two components by means of the clamping device according to the invention Connect le easily and securely. This is especially true especially if the sled or rider-like training the clamping device for simultaneous engagement with each other facing and in particular similar, parallel running elongated and preferably rail-like formations of two adjacent components is formed. With such a construction art, it is also advantageous if the pressed body or possibly the at least one clamping element for simultaneous clamping the clamping device on both adjacent components forms is, as this means that there is only as little actuation as possible effort is required and, if necessary, an autom table alignment of the two adjacent components achieved can be.

The pressure transmission medium is preferably a viscous one Fluid or a plastic mass. Just for example a plastomer oil is used here for the pressure transmission medium given. However, it is included in the invention that the Pressure transmission medium any other deformable and pressure transmitted material can be. It is basically not like that excluded flowable particles such as sand, dust or Granules, or easily flowing liquids or even gases to be used as long as the pressurization of the Medi around a required deformation of the pressed body can be achieved. The preferred viscous fluids and plastic masses are particularly suitable for the pressure exerted on them Mostly white without internal compression losses to the pressed body so that only short actuation paths are required are to apply a relatively high force to the pressed body wear. However, a certain loss of compression in be accepted within the medium, possibly even a greater travel may be desirable to achieve an easily and setting the clamping force as precisely as possible enable.

As already mentioned, the pressure transmission medium in the Rah men of the invention also be solidifiable. It can be also act to a temporary solidification z. B. by Raising the temperature of the pressure transmission medium again can be canceled.

The actuating devices preferably contain an ins Inside of the pressed body reaching pressure member. As such Pressure members see corresponding embodiments of the invention for example a screw whose free thread end goes into the In nere of the compact protrudes and the inside of the compact can be screwed in, or a stamp before whose Drucksei te protrudes into the interior of the pressed body and the into the interior of the Press body is adjustable.

A loosening of the clamping device over time with very long required service life or high loads with absolute To exclude the security, it is an advantage if the Actuating devices and possibly in particular the pressure member are or is lockable. It can be presented as further training be seen that the locking of the actuators and, if necessary, in particular the pressure member are releasable.

It is advantageous and therefore preferred if the actuation facilities and possibly in particular the pressure member so out forms and are arranged or is that she / it at the Component attached clamping device are freely accessible or is, and that it is preferred when using the Clamping device at an elongated and preferably rails like component in the longitudinal extent of the latter accessible are or is.

It has already been pointed out earlier that the Klemm force for attaching the clamping device to a component can be adjusted by means of the actuating devices, which is a preferred development of the invention.

Around tight housings, ducts, lines or general transitions between the clamping device and a component or two with by means of the clamping device to build connected components can, is preferably sealing devices for sealing Connection between the clamping device and a building part or several components provided.

Another object of the invention is to provide a mounting system fen, which allows a light, safe and universal construction of Racks, superstructures and brackets of all kinds, in particular re allowed for industrial applications.

In order to achieve this goal, according to the invention, there is a mounting system stem according to claim 27 provided.

Such a mounting system contains, in addition to a clamping device tion, as described above in numerous versions ben was, furthermore at least one profile strand on which the Clamping device can be attached.

The possible by the invention clamping over the entire The length of the profile strand also enables one with the latter extreme lightweight construction, as the clamping force extends over the entire Can distribute length and not be recorded selectively got to. This makes the use of the assembly system opposite Sy state-of-the-art stems made much easier and at the same time the connection of components through the clamping device simplified and safer.

In a preferred development of this mounting system according to of the invention, two may also be of different lengths Profile strands in pairs, in particular in parallel by means of a Clamping device connectable. Is or are still there preferably only one pressed body or interconnected press body for actuating the clamping device for the purpose of connection two profile strands provided. This can be more advantageous Apply a clamping along the entire length of a profile Actuation only z. B. obtained a central clamping screw become. It is also easy to use and with little effort wall generates very high clamping forces.

Another embodiment of the assembly system used with preference stems provides that the profile strand to accommodate the clamp device that is particularly dovetail-like forms his or her dovetail-like training can hold at least one in its longitudinal extent fende possibly contains a corresponding dovetail-like groove. A secure and permanent connection can thus be established put. Furthermore, a total of large support and clamping surfaces chen achieved that a great stability and best possible Ensure vibration damping of a built-up system. If further, as is preferred, the dovetail-like which groove lies within the profile strand result from in particular, profile strands lying parallel to one another be especially large contact surfaces, which increase the stability of the system further increase.

It is also advantageous if the clamping device for simultaneous engagement in two parallel, facing each other dovetail-like grooves in each one profile strand dop is designed similar to pelvic swallowtail. So can on particularly safe and easy way to cross two profile strands their entire length can be connected, not only at this embodiment, the vibration damper already mentioned act as an additional benefit.

According to a further preferred variant of the invention, the Profile strand a polygonal principle and in particular their triangular or square cross-section, and each of its Long sides for receiving the clamping device is at least provided with a preferably dovetail-like groove, which, as already explained above, to create the largest possible contact surface for another component or in particular a second profile strand, preferably inner half of the latter lies.

In order to avoid unnecessary lengths of the clamping device, the se preferably one of the length of the possibly shorter profile strand or generally the corresponding length of the component. So it won't only material is saved, but there are also over or forward standing areas of the clamping device avoided what from Reasons of space requirements and accident prevention an advantage is.

In a preferred development of the above variant is advantageously provided that the clamping device an adjusting device or a pressed body, whose or Length corresponds to the length of the possibly shorter profile strand, or a plurality of adjusting devices or compacts contains, which ange in the course of the profile strand one behind the other are arranged, in particular at least the essential length of the If necessary, cover a shorter profile strand and preferably by means of common actuators can be operated, especially be are preferably functionally connected in series.

Another or additional training of the specified Va riante can be that the clamping device a Clamping element or a pair of clamping elements contains, its or the length of the length of the possibly shorter profile strand corresponds to, or a plurality of clamping elements or pairs of clamping elements, which in the course of the profile strand are arranged one behind the other, in particular at least in we substantially cover the length of the possibly shorter profile strand and preferably either by means of a coupled actuating device gene or pressed body, or by means of a common Stellvor direction or a common compact are actuated.

Instead of several individual clamping devices, these can also be used be combined into a clamping device. This contains then a plurality of clamping devices, which at least ei Nem profile strand are assigned and in particular either via a common adjusting device or a common Pressed bodies, or via jointly actuatable adjusting devices or pressed bodies can be actuated.

The pressed body is preferably made by an oval in cross-section Formed clamping tube, the two flattened sides of each one Clamping element is assigned.

The actuating devices and, if applicable, especially the pressure member can or can be designed and arranged so that she / it with the clamping device attached to the profile strand freely accessible and preferably along the length of the profile strand are or is freely accessible.

A profile strip or a profile support can be used as the profile strand are used that are linear or curved can open.

In addition to particularly stressed superstructures before the effect to protect against oscillations, vibrations or shocks, a profile strand can be used and attached, the is designed as a damper strip. Another kind of means the clamping device on z. B. a profile strand attachable Components are, for example, cover and protective plates. In order to however, it is not conclusively stated which type of construction can be parts with which the clamping device cooperates can ken.

As already mentioned above, at least one construction or Machine part can be provided by means of the clamping device device on which at least one profile strand can be attached.

A further development according to the invention contains profile strands where the side lengths of the cross-sections have a geometric √2- Have graduation. The because of the same or regarding the √2-gradation similar aspect ratios same or similar Chen profile dimensions lead to the same or at least similar union strength and deformation conditions in the ver different profile strands. Thereby are also model laws applicable, the cost-effective development work at ver on a smaller scale. The planning of superstructures with the assembly system according to the invention is through the Maßverdop pelulation of the external dimensions of each side length of the cross-sections of the profile strands every second step of the √2 steps eases. Because of the aspect ratios that have been optimized in this way are also favorable strength properties in vertika ler and horizontal direction of stress.

If the profile strand at least one in its longitudinal extent tion extending cavity contains or in its longitudinal extent tion is hollow, it is not only the weight of this Profile strand lowered, what the handling and the possible use possibilities with low load-bearing capacity of the base of a structure comes to good use, but it is also possible without separate Compressed air or equipment lines a supply to each at any point in a structure. The pressure air or other equipment can be used for this purpose directly in the cavity or the hollow formation of the profile strand directed from the source or introduction to the consumer who the. Furthermore, such cavities are suitable for. B. for laying of cables so that they are safely guided and not disruptive are.

In the context of the invention, it is also possible that the Actuate not only manually, but instead or in addition, in particular, be machine-controlled in a program-controlled manner are active. This is then preferably done using hy hydraulic or electrical servos. So can also robots or robot parts, such as for the plant machine tool slide, with the assembly system according to the invention stem. This means that everyone is also general automated or semi-automated changes to egg nem structure according to the conditions of a process or possible for a task for which the structure is used. Furthermore, the clamping device can alternatively or additionally a braking or fixing device, in particular a longitudinal one be of the profile strand movable transport device.

It has already been stated above that the Klemmvorrich processing sealing devices may contain to two profile strands to connect tightly together.

The invention also provides a method of manufacture a clamp connection according to claims 46 or 47 created fen. Corresponding advantages result in an analogous and analogous manner from the above information on device implementation tion of the invention.

In such a method for producing a Klemmverbin application becomes a clamping device for attachment to a building part used, the clamping device being an adjusting device contains the device for clamping the clamping device to the Component can be acted upon. In terms of procedure, initially the clamping device and the component in engagement with one another brought.

In the figures, the same reference symbols denote the same or similar, or identically or similarly acting facilities or Components. The comparison of the individual figures of the Drawing ensures that individual parts in each of Figs ren can be clearly assigned, even if for reasons of over visibility not in each of the figures each part with Be train mark is provided. The representations in the individual Figures of the drawing also allow the skilled person a Ver understanding of the invention and its structural and functional Features, even if in the description below these features will not be discussed in detail. Further are the drawings relationships between individual components nents and size relationships.

Without the invention being limited thereto, it and ih re mode of operation in more detail below using an assembly system described. However, it is readily apparent to those skilled in the art understand that the principles and features of the invention all common to any other mounting system and in particular any other type of clamping device also with the the same advantages can be used. The invention is also not on a use in connection with the profiles shown limited. For example, the invention allows simple Rods with a round cross-section are used as profile strands be to clamp also lying within the scope of the invention to attach devices by means of which any construction parts and thus also other profile strands on the rod or can generally be attached to any extruded profile nen.

If necessary, the design of the clamping device according to Art and the shape of the profile strand used can be selected. Ins special clamping devices can be designed in such a way that that they either have a spreading force or a compressive force exercise. With regard to the mounting system, the choice depends from whether a the clamping device in a hollow profile formation pinched or on a protruding profile formation should be clamped on. The clamping device can also inte formed grail with a component or in any way be firmly connected to the component through the clamping to be attached to another component. There are also as Be propulsion means or pressure transmission medium of the pressed body any Liche fluids can be used, the gases, liquids, pulpy mas sen and can be flowable particles.

In Fig. 1, parts of a Mon day system 1 are shown schematically in cross section. The central element is a Klemmvor device 2 , by means of which two profile strands 3 and 3 'are connected to one another lying parallel to one another, the Be designation 3 ' for the lower profile strand in the figure selected only for the purpose of linguistic differentiation in the representation of FIG and in the rest of the drawings, profile strands are marked with the reference numeral 3 throughout.

The profile strips 3 and 3 'shown have a respective qua dratischen cross-section with dovetail grooves 4, the extruded profile shown in the FIG. 1 above 3 4 a, 4 b, 4 c and 4 d and extruded in the shown below accordingly profile 3 for better differentiation with 4 a ', 4 b', 4 c 'and 4 d' are designated, and the center within each side surface 5 a, 5 b, 5 c and 5 d or 5 a ', 5 b', 5 c 'and 5 d' of the profile strands 3 and 3 'run over their entire length. The profile strands 3 are produced as extruded profiles, for example from aluminum, and contain a cavity 6 in their interior. The fact that the dovetail grooves 4 are within the cross-sections of the profile strands 3 and none of the Be tenflächen 5 a, 5 b, 5 c and 5 d, etc. of the profile strands 3 vorste existing retaining profiles for attaching the clamping device 2 are used ver in advantageously achieved that the profile strands 3 lie on top of each other and can be clamped ge without spacing, the large bearing surfaces and clamping surfaces within the groove 4 and the clamping device 2 of stability and vibration damping come to good.

If two profile strands 3 are aligned parallel to one another, as shown in FIG. 1, a groove 4 of each of the profile strands 3 forms a passage 7 with a double dovetail cross-section. In Fig. 1, this passage 7 is formed from the groove 4 d of the upper profile strand 3 and the groove 4 b 'of the lower profile strand 3 '. The passage 7 extends in accordance with the groove 4 in the shorter of the two profile strands 3 over its entire length.

In the passage 7 there is a firmly contracting the two profile strands 3 and holding together clamping device 2 , of which two embodiments are shown greatly enlarged in the cal matic cross-section in FIGS . 2A and 2B. In these exemplary embodiments, the clamping device 2 consists of an adjusting device 8 and two clamping elements 9 a and 9 b. The two clamping elements 9 a and 9 b have together in the relative position shown in the figures to each other a visibly of the passage 7 also double dovetail-shaped cross-section and take the adjusting device 8 within this cross-section between them. Viewed differently, each of the two clamping elements 9 a and 9 b has an M-shaped cross section which is closed by a side C at the free ends A and B of the M-shape. Within the clamping device 2 , the two clamping elements 9 a and 9 b are arranged with the sides C formed between the free ends A and B of the M-shape facing one another. The adjusting device 8 is located between the sides C of the two clamping elements 9 a and 9 b.

The clamping elements 9 a and 9 b of the clamping device 2 can with means of the adjusting device 8 between a clamping setting in which the clamping device 2 holds the two profile strands 3 firmly together, as shown in Fig. 1, and in the longitudinal extent of the latter as a result the clamping is fixed, and non-clamping settings are adjusted in which the clamping device 2 and its components in the longitudinal extension of the two profile strands 3 and thus the passage 7 are displaceable. This means that the two clamping elements 9 a and 9 b are pressed firmly against the sides of the double dovetail-shaped passage 7 by the adjusting device 8 in the width of the clamping device 2 in their clamping position.

The size and shape of the double dovetail cross-section of the clamping device 2 corresponds to the setting of the size and shape of the double dovetail cross-section of the passage 7 , the height of the clamping device 2 should be slightly less than the height of the passage 7 so that the clamping device 2 or, more precisely, its constituent parts of the adjusting device 8 and clamping elements 9 a and 9 b can be pushed relatively easily into the passage 7 in the non-clamping setting of the clamping device 2. In the non-clamping setting, the size and shape of the cross-section of the clamping device 2 in terms of width are also somewhat smaller than in the cross-section of the passage 7 for the latter purpose. The height dimension extends in the cross-sectional view taken along the free ends A and B of the M-shape of each clamping member 9 a and 9 b joining sides C of the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b, in the figures, ie along the vertical direction. In this regard, the width extension mentioned runs vertically, that is horizontally, in the drawings.

As can be seen from the preceding description, the two clamping elements or clamping jaws 9 a and 9 b can be adjusted by the adjusting device 8 between a clamping setting and non-clamping settings. According to the embodiments discussed here, a Auseinan derspreizen of the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b, which can also be referred to as clamping bars, takes place. For this purpose, the Stellvor device 8 contains a pressed body 10 which is filled with a Druckübertra supply medium 11 , and actuators 12 , by means of which in the pressure transmission medium 11 a Druckän change can be brought about.

The pressed body 10 contains in the present case, as the longitudinal sectional views of FIGS. 3 and 4A and 4B in the Zusam humanau with the cross-sectional view of FIGS . 1 and 2 ver clear, a tube 13 , which can also be referred to as a clamping tube, and two the tube 13 at its ends tightly closing ver plugs 14 a and 14 b. As already mentioned, the tube 13 is filled with a pressure transmission medium 11 , such as, for example, a viscous fluid or a plastic mass. Only as an example is given for a usable viscous fluid plastomer oil.

The plugs 14 a and 14 b are, for example, firmly pressed into the pipe ends or otherwise fastened there, such as by screwing, welding, soldering, etc., so that they are tight even at high internal pressure of the pressure transmission medium 11 within the press body 10, the pipe 13 hold. In the example shown in FIGS. 3 and 4A and 4B, the plugs 14 a and 14 b are threaded plugs (not shown). Said internal pressure increase can be effected by means of actuation devices 12 , which in the present embodiment hold a screw as a pressure member 15 , which is screwed through one of the plugs 14 a or 14 b and protrudes with its free end D into the interior of the tube 13. In the example shown in FIGS. 3 and 4A and 4B, the screw 15 is a hexagon socket screw. In principle, it is possible in both plugs 14 a and 14 b or at other parts of the pipe 13 actuating devices with pressure members in the form of z. B. screws 15 to be provided.

The remaining interior space 16 of the tube 13 , ie in the inside re of the tube 13 protruding threaded end D of the screw 15 is exactly the volume that is filled with the pressure transmission medium 11 ge. If the screw 15 is screwed further into the interior of the pipe res 13 , the volume of the interior 16 of the pipe 13 is reduced, whereby the pressure in the pressure transmission medium 11 is increased.

As clearly shown in the cross-sectional view of the pipe 13 z. B. can be seen in Fig. 2, the tube 13 has an oval-shaped cross-section with flattened sides 17 a and 17 b, which can be obtained with a circular cross-section, for example, by appropriately pressing a pipe on both sides. If the internal pressure in the pressure transmission medium 11 is increased in such an oval-pressed clamping tube 13 , which is the case when the screw 15 continues into the pipe 13 from an initial position in which the pressure transmission medium 11 just fills the interior 16 and is not under excess pressure is screwed into it, this internal pressure is increased, and a corresponding pressure acts evenly in all directions. Since, however, greater forces are exerted on the flattened sides 17 a and 17 b of the oval cross-sectional shape than on the other areas of the cross-sectional shape, so that these flattened sides 17 a and 17 b are increasingly pushed outward into a curved shape. By this effect, however, the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b, which rest with their sides C on the abge flattened sides 17 a and 17 b of the compact 10 , pressed from each other, ie the clamping device 2 is spread, as indicated by the double arrow E in Figs. 2A and 2B is indicated.

On the basis of the dimensions shown in FIGS. 2A and 3, it is shown below that extremely high clamping or clamping forces can be generated by means of the clamping device according to the invention without a correspondingly high actuating force being required for this.

When the clamping elements or clamping bars 9 a and 9 b and the tube or clamping tube 13 are inserted into the double dovetail passage 7 , which occurs when two profile strands or simply profiles 3 and 3 '( Fig. 1) are superimposed in parallel alignment with one another the clamping screw 15 must be tightened. As a result, with a pretensioning force F1 and the surface of the free thread end D of the screw 15 , that is to say briefly the screw surface A1, a high pressure builds up in the pressure transmission medium by 11

p = F1 / A1 (1);

on, the one on the two clamping surfaces

A2 = B x L (2);

acts, wherein the clamping surfaces are formed by the flats or from flattened sides 17 a and 17 b, which have a width B and a length L. As a result, the tube 13 is widened to the side. The clamping force on the two clamping bars 9 a and 9 b is

F2 = px A2 (3);

Out

p = F2 / A2 = F1 / A1 (4);

the power transmission follows

F2 / F1 = A2 / A1 (5).

With a screw M4, a width b = 5.5 mm and a length l = 1000 mm of the flats 17 a, 17 b, a force transmission of F2 / F1 = 473.6 results according to the quotient A2 / A1. Accordingly, it is sufficient to tighten the screw 15 by hand to achieve a firm and permanent clamping; there is no need to use a tool.

The embodiments of Figs. 2A and 2B differ only Lich in that the pressing body 10 of the version of the clamping device 2 shown in Fig. 2A has a larger volume and larger flattened sides 17 a and 17 bb than the pressing body 10 , the shown in Fig. 2B. By appropriately selecting the volume and the flats 17 a, 17 b, other setting and holding requirements of the clamping device can be taken into account.

Since in the present case a clamping tube 13 is used with a Eigenela stität, it returns when the screw 15 is screwed out of the tube 13 back to its original shape and the expansion forces on the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b are eliminated. The tube 13 is thus reversibly deformable, so that the clamping by the clamping device 2 can be released. If the screw 15 is sufficiently tight, it can also be unscrewed further than its starting position speaks ent, so that a negative pressure is ent inside the tube 13 , which favored the recovery in its original shape.

The inwardly extending wedge of the M-shape of the cross section of the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b forms run-up surfaces 18 a and 18 b, which come into engagement with corresponding inclined surfaces 19 a and 19 b of the dovetail groove 4 when the clamping device 2 is expanded. This has the consequence that the profile strands 3 on the inclined surfaces 19 a and 19 b of their groove 4 when spreading on the clamping device 2 through the run-up surfaces 18 a and 18 b of the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b are drawn towards each other until they are firmly attached to each other issue. This effect is favored by the fact that the height of the clamping device 2 is slightly smaller than the height of the passage 7 ge.

Preferably, the run-up surfaces 18 a and 18 b of the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b run at least substantially parallel to the inclined surfaces 19 a and 19 b of the groove 4 , or they are slightly flatter relative to the latter, so that when the run-up surfaces 18 a come into engagement and 18 b of the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b with the inclined surfaces 19 a and 19 b of the groove 4 first the tips F and G of the M-shape of the cross section of the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b first in contact with the inclined surfaces 19 a and 19 b of groove 4 come. But it is also possible that inclined surfaces 19 a and 19 b of the groove 4 are inclined slightly flatter than the run-up surfaces 18 a and 18 b of the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b, so that when the run-up surfaces 18 a and 18 b of the clamps come into engagement elements 9 a and 9 b with the inclined surfaces 19 a and 19 b of the groove 4 first the free end edges H and I of the schwalbenschwanzför shaped groove 4 come into contact with the ramp surfaces 18 a and 18 b of the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b. The run-up surfaces 18 a and 18 b of the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b and / or the inclined surfaces 19 a and 19 b of the groove 4 can also be concave or convex curved in order to promote the contraction effect.

For the sake of completeness, it is stated here that the inwardly ver running wedge of the N-shape of the cross-section of the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b formed by the ramp surfaces 18 a and 18 b forms an angle of at least about 90 ° in the examples discussed here. Correspondingly, the inclined surfaces 19 a and 19 b of the groove 4 are also at an angle of at least approximately 90 ° to one another.

In Figs. 4A and 4B, respectively, the adjusting device 8 in a partially and in a fully inserted into the passageway 7 position in a longitudinally sectioned plan view between the two clamping elements 9 a and 9 b, the completely in each of the two cases in the passage 7 are inserted. It can be seen that the tube 13 has flattened areas 17 a, 17 b on both sides and its end (not designated) receiving the stopper 14 b is thicker in the direction under consideration than the subsequent flattened area. In comparison, the same side view of the longitudinal section of Fig. 3 he knows that the end receiving the plug 14 b (not be characterized) of the tube 13 in the direction considered here is thinner than the rest of the tube 13 on the sides where it is is not flattened. With regard to the flattened areas 17 a, 17 b thicker shape of the tube 13 at its clogged end (not designated) is taken into account ge by corresponding recesses (not designated) in the clamping elements 9 a, 9 b.

Even without corresponding illustrations, it will be understood that is, how the Stellvorrich tung pushed in superimposed profile strips 3 so that the formed passage 7 in the same way 8 in the passage 7, the latter preferably before, but possibly after, also the two clamping elements 9 a and 9 b are pushed into the passage 7 is. When the adjusting device 8 and the two clamping elements 9 a and 9 b have reached their end position in the longitudinal extent of the profile strands 3 , so that they run over at least substantially the entire length of at least the shorter of the profile strands 3 used , only the screw 15 needs to be turned in order to produce the desired clamping and thus fastening supply of the two profile strands 3 to one another over the entire length of the clamping device 2.

The length of the clamping device 2 , ie the adjusting device 8 and the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b, in the extension direction of the profile strands 3 corresponds to the length of the latter or, if these have different lengths, at least the length of the shorter profile strand 3 . This ensures that the clamping device acts over this entire length of at least the shorter profile strand 3. This not only achieves a particularly firm connection between the two profile strands 3 , but this connection is also stable and secure over this length. Thus, it is not as a result of specific compounds according to the prior art, the risk that the two profiled ropes 3 permanently or tem answer service take between two connection points of an unwanted distance, as may occur from impact or vibrations, wherein dirt from getting between the profiled ropes 3 can, which can lead to a more or less permanent distance between the two profile strands 3 . To achieve the stable and secure connection according to the invention, however, only a single clamping device 2 must be used and adjusted, that is, a central clamping screw 15 is actuated, and not a plurality of clamping devices as in known Mon day systems.

It is readily apparent that the clamping device 2 can do without the clamping elements 9 a and 9 b if the adjusting device 8 is shaped accordingly. For example, they may even have the required double dovetail shape for the previously discussed embodiments in that 13 corresponding profiles are formed to the pipe or the tube 13 itself has this shape. The tube 13 does not have to have the flattened areas or flattened sides 17 a and 17 b described above. Instead, parts of the tube 13 can be made of a pressure-flexible material or simply thinner, so that the increased internal pressure in the pressure transmission medium 11 leads to the bulging of these parts, with only one part being provided. Also, it is not a mandatory feature that the pressing body 10 is formed by a tube, but it can also be a hose or any other body or any other body shape can be used, which fits in the context of a clamping device used and the corresponding components. Thus, the clamping device is not limited to use in connection with profile strands, strips or beams, but can be used with advantage in the design according to the invention on any components.

As can be seen from the figures described above, more than one dovetail groove 4 can be provided along a profile strand side 5 a, 5 b, 5 c and / or 5 d.

Furthermore, by comparing the cross- sectional dimensions of the box and support profiles 3, a system can be identified which is preferably used in the context of the present invention. The lengths of the cross-section sides are graded with the factor √2. This feature of the profile strands 3 of the assembly system 1 according to the invention can be used with advantage in the present invention and is also of independent inventive importance.

The geometric √2 gradation of the outer dimensions of the cross-section of the profile strands 3 leads to similarities in the profile dimensions because of the same side ratios, so that similar strength and deformation ratios result. Furthermore, the applicability of model laws is made easier, which in turn enables more cost-effective development work on a smaller scale. Due to the optimal aspect ratios, as described above and shown in FIGS. 5 to 10, favorable strength properties are achieved in the vertical and horizontal direction of stress.

In every second step of the graduation, the dimensions of the outer dimensions of the profile cross-sections are advantageously doubled. The above-mentioned law of the geometric √2 gradation and the above presented wet doubling of the outer dimensions of the cross sections of the profile strands can be used in the same way with the grid dimensions of the mounting system 1 with advantage who the.

The above advantages justify the independent importance of the geometric √2 gradation according to the invention in a mounting system 1 , so that it is a separate invention can be seen even without including the other features of the mounting system 1 and especially the clamping device.

The clamping over the full length of profile strands 3 or general components of any type by the clamping device 2 according to the invention allows an extremely lightweight construction, since the clamping connection is extremely stable. The cavities 6 within the profile strands 3 can be used in the shown in the Figu Ren or another embodiment for compressed air supply, so that additional long and possibly disruptive compressed air hoses can be avoided. In general, in the cavities 6 z. B. lead any resources to the respective consumer, where in sealing devices (not shown) on the Klemmvor directions 2 can form additional or additional sealed Hohlräu me. Furthermore, the cavities 6 are also suitable for laying lines (not shown) for, for example, controlling machines, systems and robots (not shown), which can be used on a structure (not shown) using the assembly system 1 present .

In connection with such machines, systems and robots (not shown), it is also advantageous that the Klemmvor device 2 can also be operated mechanically. So z. B. variable positions of robots or Werkzeugma machine slide (not shown) relative to other locations ei Nes assembly system structure (not shown) safely lock. A clamping connector system with a clamping device 2 , which, as in the examples described above, works hydraulically or functionally similarly, can then possibly also be operated via other actuating elements or devices 12 that are suitable for the machines and devices involved (not shown) . In particular, but not exclusively, pneumatic power actuations (not shown) are suitable for automation. Such or electrically operating servos (not shown) can be coupled with a clamping device 2 according to the invention without any problems, with torque or force controls and limitations (not shown) being able to be used if necessary.

If longer downtimes of an assembled structure (not shown) are desired, the actuating devices 12 themselves can have locking devices (not shown) that allow the actuating devices 12 to be released from a set position and thus possibly a loss of pressure and a release of the clamping connection prevent.

The above-mentioned sealing possibility of the Klemmvor direction 2 can also be used for the production of z. B. pivot bearings (not shown) which contain a clamping device 2 according to the invention as part of it. Here, too, the functional combination of clamps and seals is advantageous.

In the embodiments of the profile strands 3 described with respect to FIGS. 5 to 10, it is also advantageous that carrier profiles and box profiles 3 , which can also be referred to as linear module profiles, can easily be combined with the same grid plan. Due to the arbitrary combination and variation possibilities of the profile strands 3 and the possibility of combining carrier profiles and linear module profiles 3 according to FIGS. 5 to 10, new structures (not shown) can be created with a minimum of individual profiles, with low storage being sufficient and tool costs are low.

In Fig. 11, a further possible combination of profile strands 3 of the assembly system 1 is shown in the previously basically Lich treated embodiment, with a damper bar 20 is also attached. Like any other profile 3, the damper bar 20 is fixed by means of a clamping device 2 at another profile strand. 3 This is preferably done with a defined tightening torque determined in the resonance test. At z. B. a profile deflection down, as shown schematically in a slightly different structure in Fig. 12, there is a relative movement in the tensile zone between the profile strand 3 and the clamped damper 20 with Coulomb friction, which is responsible for the conversion of vibrational energy in friction. In order to damp any horizontal vibrations that may occur, the damper strip 20 is mounted on the side of a profile strand 3 .

The aforementioned attenuation in connection with the clamping device according to the invention also represents an independent invention, which is also worthy of protection separately, even without the other features of the mounting system 1.

The invention is not limited to the clamping of elongated profile strands 3 . As shown in FIG. 13, a cover plate 21 can also be fastened by means of the clamping device 2.

Furthermore, the clamping device 2 is also suitable for connecting profile strands of different systems, as is shown by way of example in FIG. 14. A profile strand 3 shown in FIG. 5, Fig. A) is connected to a profile strand 22 of another system by means of the clamping device 2. Although a connection 14 of the clamping device 2 with the profile strand 22 is shown in FIG. Tung by a conventional Klemmvorrich according to the prior art shown, but this is intended to represent only the fundamental possible combination. Of course, the clamping device 2 can also for the profile strand 20 hold an adjusting device 8 with a pressed body 10 ent, which clamps the profile strand 22 firmly over its entire length. For this purpose, only clamping elements (not shown) have to be used which, on the one hand, fit the dovetail groove 4 in the profile strand 3 and, on the other hand, encompass the dovetail 23 of the profile strand 22. Then can be accomplished with two or even with only one pressing body 10 a corresponding loading of the clamping elements to ge separates or both profiles 3 and 22 to clamp at the same time.

Another variant for the use of the clamping device 2 in the context of an assembly or general holding system 1 is shown in FIG. 15. Here, a profile strand 3 is easily seen, which has separate clamping lamellae 25 in its longitudinal direction in addition to the groove 4 by grooves 24 a, 24 b, 24 c, 24 d. On the groove 24 a, 24 b, 24 c, 24 d agreed in distance, height and thickness, ie, holding lamellae 26 which can be slidably received are provided on a tab 27 to match. The holding lamellae 26 of the rider 27 can be acted upon via the clamping device 2 , which is accommodated in the groove 4 , for clamping with the tensioning lamellae 25 of the profile strand 3.

This variant uses the multiplication of Coulomb's Rei Exercise forces similar to a multi-plate clutch, but here in Longitudinal direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. Such as Multiple lamellar tensioner designable arrangement can be anywhere be used where there is a force-fit under high load stung in a longitudinal direction locked, tensioned or mitge must be taken.

Embodiments with tabs 27 , the z. B. production parts, Ma machines, machine parts or mounting parts, but are not necessarily limited to the variant with multiple lamellas tensioners. Rather, depending on construction sizes and loads, any clamping devices 2 and profile strands 3 , 3 'falling within the scope of the invention can be used without special, such as, in particular, structural restrictions.

In general, depending on the adjusting direction of the adjusting device 8 , the clamping device 2 can also be viewed as a Spreizvorrich device, possibly with two jaws, a hollow spreader body being used, which is formed by a tube 13 which is preferably flattened perpendicular to the spreading direction. Instead of spreading, by appropriate shaping and arrangement of the clamping device 2 , a reduction in volume within the clamping device 2 for the purpose of clamping a component in the smaller volume can be realized. Only as an example, the possibility is given here to use a U-shaped clamping device 29242 00070 552 001000280000000200012000285910913100040 0002019728998 00004 09123L <, in which the pressing body 10 of the adjusting device is arranged within the U-shape. If the pressed body 10 is now expanded, as is the case in the exemplary embodiments given above, the space within the U-shape is reduced and a component previously inserted therein is clamped. Such a clamping device 3 can be attached to any component such. B. a round bar, any shaped carrier, any shaped bar, a jump before, a recess, etc. attach. For example, if two profile strips or beams or all common components are already provided with complementary profiles, it is sufficient to provide sufficient space for the Stellvorrich device 8 when the two profiles are in engagement with each other. If the adjusting device 8 is introduced into this free space, the application of the pressure transmission medium 11 according to the invention can cause the two profiles that are in engagement to be jammed. It is only a question of the standpoint of whether the entire ge clamping device 2 is then viewed as consisting only of the adjusting device 8, or whether one of the profiles or components together with the adjusting device 8 form the Klemmvorrich device. Furthermore, it is not absolutely necessary that only linear profiles are used, but curved profile strands can also be used. Then only accordingly curved pressing body 10 and possibly clamping elements 9a, 9b to be used. It is also possible, however, for the pressing bodies 10 and, if applicable, clamping elements 9a, 9b to be deformable in accordance with the profile strand shape, in order to ensure the desired clamping even over a curved course. The cavities 6 can also such. B. in the ge in Fig. 9 showed support profiles 3 be open channel-shaped along one side of the profile. The tips F and G of the N-shape of the clamping elements 9a and 9b can also be rounded, as is indicated in the enlarged representations of the drawings. Other edges, such as B. the edges H and I of the groove 4 can be rounded. The two clamping elements 9a and 9b are preferably made of aluminum. Material alternatives are e.g. B. steel or Cu-Alloy conditions, but even plastics, such as engineering plastics, z. B. PA, PE, PP, PC, etc. can be used for this. The pipe filling is used as printing material, in particular with a viscous fluid or a pasty mass, on which a corresponding pressure can be exerted by a pressure exerting device that is part of actuating devices, such as a pressure stamp or a screw. In addition to the general specification of plastomer oil as printing material, mineral and synthetic oils of the specification ISO VG 1000 and higher, cylinder oils such as those used for piston steam engines, lithium soap greases, acid-free vaseline and the like, preferably medium-sized, are for example Consistency, PVC pastes and thickened hydraulic oils can be used for this. The pressed body 10, or according to the treated Ausführungsbei play the tube 13, is preferably z. B. made of aluminum. In particular with very short overall lengths, such as up to 50 mm, steel is preferably used for the pressed body 10 or the clamping tube 13 because of the high pressures possible here. The clamping device 2 was shown above and in the drawing in connection with an assembly system merely as an example. The extruded profiles used here as components 3, 3 'are mainly, but not limited to, extruded aluminum profiles. For example, even engineering plastics with appropriate rigidity can be used. A particularly clever implementation of the profile strands 3, 3 'is achieved by hybrid materials, with z. B. aluminum extrusions, which are carbon fiber reinforced on the inside can be used.
