Definitions
- the invention relates to a node connection of the truss rods of a space framework of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
- knot connections are intended to hold the truss bars, which are usually made of tubular steel, and which meet at the node points of the space framework, partly at right and partly at oblique angles, firmly and rigidly together.
- a knot connection according to the preamble of claim 1 is known (FR-A-2250395), in which the depressions of the pairs of mutually facing interfaces of the parts of the knot element body are semi-cylindrical, to form cylindrical cavities adapted to the ends of the tubular truss rods.
- the depressions of the pairs of mutually facing interfaces of the parts of the knot element body are semi-cylindrical, to form cylindrical cavities adapted to the ends of the tubular truss rods.
- one of the interfaces facing each other at this plane is circular and provided with two diametrical, semicylindrical depressions crossing each other at right angles.
- the other interface is circular in one embodiment and provided with radial, semi-cylindrical depressions which extend from the outer to the inner edge of the circular ring, their length roughly corresponding to the outer diameter of the truss rods and their distance from the center of the circular ring (geometric node) larger than the outer diameter of the truss rods is.
- both boundary surfaces facing one another at the equatorial plane are circular and provided with diametrical, semicylindrical depressions which cross each other at right angles.
- cavities are formed in both embodiments by pairs of opposing, semi-cylindrical recesses at interfaces, the length of which also corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the truss rods and the distance from the geometric node is greater than is the outside diameter of the truss rods, these cavities and truss rod ends being designed for an additional positive fit.
- the cylindrical surfaces are unfavorable for the frictional connection, because a large-area contact is practically impossible.
- the truss rods are connected to each other by the knot element the more firmly and rigidly, the greater the length of the truss rod ends, on which the parts of the knot element engage non-positively or non-positively and positively. This length is limited, on the one hand, by the fact that the truss ends come closer and closer together towards the node, so that they can no longer be firmly enclosed in the node element as required. This provides a minimum distance between the truss ends and the node.
- the large knot elements are also relatively heavy, which is why parts of the known knot element are partially hollow in terms of casting technology. What has been said about the minimum dimensions or the minimum diameter of the node element also applies analogously to a similar, known node element for tubular truss rods (FR-A-2 310 488). in which, however, only a non-positive connection is provided and the parts of the node element are not partially hollow.
- a known knot element with truss rods FR-A-2136 936) of a different type, a ball is provided at each truss rod end, which is supported in a partially cylindrical cavity or partially by an arched, hollow cavity and partly by a raised conical surface.
- the truss rod is pivotally connected to the node element.
- a pull exerted on it must be absorbed even with a large ball diameter from very small contact surfaces with the node element. Given the tensile strength of the connection required for space trusses, this requires large balls, which likewise require a large diameter of the hemispherical or spherical node element.
- the invention seeks to remedy this.
- the invention as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating a node element and a truss rod adapted to it, in the design of which aesthetic desires can be largely met.
- the advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that the plate-shaped, preferably trapezoidally tapered lattice bar approaches in the node element up to close to the geometric node point are non-positively on flat surfaces and possibly also positively, what smaller node elements and thus an aesthetically less cumbersome spatial subject work enables.
- a spherical node element body is composed of two parts 1 and 2, which are held together by a screw 3.
- the part 1 has the shape of a hemisphere 4 with spacers 5 molded onto one another at intervals, which are parts of ball wedges cut off at 45 ° to the center of the ball 6.
- Fig. 2 the boundary between the hemisphere shape and one of the approaches 5 is indicated by a dotted line 7.
- the other part 2 has the shape of a spherical section (spherical cap) 8 with integrally formed lugs 9 which engage between the lugs 5 and also form parts of spherical wedges. 2
- the boundary between the spherical cutout shape and one of the lugs 9 is indicated by a dotted line 10.
- each projection 9 in FIG. 1 and one of the surfaces 14 which extend on the hemisphere base 7 between two projections 5 form a pair of adjacent or adjacent (see wu) interfaces of parts 1 and 2.
- the in FIG 2. The upper end face 15 of each attachment 5 and one of the surfaces 16 extending between two attachments 9 on the jacket 10 of the spherical cut-out shape 8 form further pairs of adjacent or adjacent (see wu) interfaces.
- the wedge surfaces (side surfaces) 18 of adjacent lugs 5 and 9 abut one another.
- a cavity 20 and 21, directed towards the ball center 6, is formed, in which a cavity adapted to it Approach 23 of a truss rod 24 is seated and held in a force-locking manner or according to FIG. 5 or 6 in a positive-locking or non-positive and positive manner.
- one or both interfaces can be provided with a depression.
- the cavities can extend in the circumferential direction (based on the axis line of the screw 3) up to the wedge surfaces 18, so that the surfaces 13, 14 or 15, 16 of the interface pairs do not contact one another or only between the inner end of the cavity 20 or 21 and touch the hole provided for the screw 3 and are otherwise adjacent.
- the extension 23 of the truss rods 24 is a plate which is partially inserted into the tubular rod body 25 (FIGS. 5-7) and is tapered trapezoidally at the end protruding from this end, which plate is welded into slots in the tubular rod body 25 and, if the inner diameter of the tube is sufficient, also inside can be welded to the pipe.
- the approach 23 can also be formed on a peg inserted into the tube, which expediently has one or more holes that make it possible to protect the truss rod provided with the approaches from the inside by hot-dip galvanizing from rust.
- the lugs 23 can for the purpose of positive locking instead of recesses (Fig. 5 and 6) also with projections, for. B. humps, provided that the cross-section of the approaches is not reduced, and the projections corresponding to the projections on the appropriately cast spherical recesses are more favorable in terms of casting technology than corresponding recesses, raised areas.
- the positive locking can also be achieved by lateral projections, i.e. H. widened positions can be achieved.
- the flank of projections facing the spherical surface can run perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rod, so that the force that occurs when a tension is exerted on the rod does not have a component that drives the spherical parts between which the attachment is held apart.
- a spherical node element body is composed of three parts 31, 32 and 33, which are held together by a screw 3.
- the part 31 has the shape of a hemisphere;
- the part 32 is an annular body with a flat surface 36 which is adjacent to or adjacent to the flat surface 35 of the hemisphere 31. It is circumferential by a spherical zone and on its side facing away from the hemisphere 31 by a conical surface 37 in the center of the sphere 6 lying cone tip limited.
- the part 33 is a spherical cutout, the conical surface 38 of which adjoins the surface 37.
- the two flat surfaces 35 and 36 of parts 31 and 32 form a first pair of abutting interfaces
- the two conical surfaces 37 and 38 of parts 32 and 33 form a second pair of abutting interfaces.
- a plurality of cavities are formed for receiving the shoulders 23 of the truss rods 24, to which the statements made with regard to FIGS. 1 and 2 apply mutatis mutandis.
- the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4 because it is in three parts, enables a better adhesion or requires less precision than that described in connection with FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the conical surfaces 15 and 16 or 37 and 38 can be replaced by pyramid outer surfaces.
- the spherical shape is technically expedient and aesthetic, but it is not required to function.
- the upper half in FIGS. 2 and 4 can e.g. B. also be limited like a polyhedron, while the lower half can largely be designed as desired.
- the knot elements shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 are designed for four belt bars lying in one plane and for four diagonal bars on one and the same side of the belt plane.
- the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4 can easily be carried out for a further four diagonal bars on the other side of the belt plane, by replacing part 31 by a part that is the same as part 32 and a part that is the same as part 33, which is a mirror image of the parts 32 and 33 are to be arranged.
