Definitions

  • the invention relates to an articulated connection from at least two extruded profiles and at least one further clamping profile, which is designed as a two-part axis for the two bearing shells of the joint.
  • the aluminum extruded profiles to be connected are each provided with a strip at the joint, which has a sawtooth-like cross section in the shape of a spherical head.
  • the two ends of the extruded profiles are guided against each other in such a way that the teeth mesh and are kept in constant engagement when turning.
  • the ball heads of the gears are clamped by means of a profile bar with a C-shaped cross section, which results in a joint that can be rotated by 180 degrees.
  • the strips mentioned must be manufactured as a separate component, so that the overall construction comprises at least 5 individual parts, consisting of the two extruded profiles to be connected, a sawtooth strip and a clamping profile.
  • the extruded profiles must have different thicknesses if a swivel angle of 180 degrees is to be achieved. In the stretched state, this leads to a stepped outside of the extruded profiles connected via joints.
  • the object of the present invention is to develop articulated extruded profiles with a rotation angle of at least 180 degrees with a smooth outer surface of the profiles in the stretched state, which are insensitive to external influences such as dirt, dust and impact.
  • the applications of the present invention extend to the entire area of the movable hinge and joint constructions and are preferably in the case of folding door segments, tail lifts or cargo space covers in the stationary area or in the transport area.
  • freight wagons can be equipped with folding gate segments of up to 7 m in length, which enable loading and unloading across the entire long side level.
  • folding gate segments of up to 7 m in length, which enable loading and unloading across the entire long side level.
  • folding gate segments of up to 7 m in length, which enable loading and unloading across the entire long side level.
  • folding door segments which are connected to one another in an articulated manner, these are folded together in the manner of an accordion. In this state, they lie flat on top of each other with the upper and lower parts running parallel.
  • the articulated connections of the folding wall provide great rigidity through multiple supports with widely spaced support lines in the joint plane.
  • a protection against lateral displacement of the extruded profiles in the stretched state is achieved by a groove and pin connection at the butt end. This does not hinder the rotary movement, since the extruded profiles immediately lift off from each other when they roll on the thickening.
  • the extruded profiles 1, 2 are connected to one another in an articulated manner by means of a clamp profile 3 with a C-shaped cross section.
  • the clamp profile 3 consists of an upper and a lower leg, each with a rounded outer leg surface 6, 7, which opens into an associated outlet end 8, 9.
  • the legs of the clamp profile 3 engage in appropriately designed grooves 4, 5 on the head part of the profiles 1, 2.
  • the outer leg surface 6, 7 of the profile 3 is preferably designed as a circular segment and slides when the joint is rotated in the corresponding groove 4, 5, which also has a circular segment shape.
  • the outlet ends 8, 9 of the clamp profile 3 are preferably cylindrical in cross section and slide in correspondingly shaped grooves 10, 11 of a hook-shaped extension 12, 13 on the head part of the profiles of FIGS. 1, 2.
  • the joint according to the invention between two extruded profiles has separate functions with internal and external sliding surfaces for the shaft and bearing shell.
  • the shaft is formed by the clamp profile 3, the bearing shell by the grooves 4, 5 and 10, 11.
  • the clamp profile 3 has separate sliding surfaces at the outlet ends 8, 9 and on the legs 6, 7.
  • the designation of the sliding surfaces on the outlet ends as the inner sliding surface and that on the legs as the outer sliding surface refers to the function of the joint in the extended state according to FIG. 1.
  • the sliding surface lies between the outlet ends 8, 9 and the grooves 10, 11 "inside” and the sliding surface between the grooves 4, 5 and the legs 6, 7 "outside”. based on the cross section through the joint according to the invention.
  • the outlet ends of the C-shaped clamp profile 3 serve as inner shaft segments and the outer leg surface of the clamp profile consists of outer shaft segments, each with associated sliding surfaces.
  • the inner sliding surface corresponds to the grooves 10, 11, which act as inner bearing shell segments.
  • the outer sliding surfaces are formed by the grooves 4, 5, which serve as outer bearing shell segments.
  • the geometrical position of the inner and outer sliding surfaces with respect to one another and with respect to the position of the extruded profiles is defined by the radii of the respective partial circles.
  • the outer bearing shell segment lies on a partial circle touching the extension of the extruded profile outside and the dividing line between the profiles.
  • the inner bearing shell segment lies on a pitch circle which is arranged concentrically to the outer pitch circle with a radius difference of the thickness of the clamp profile 3 plus the thickness of the hook-shaped extension 12, 13.
  • the outlet ends of the clamp profile 3 have a cylindrical shape and the grooves 10, 11 in the hook-shaped extension 12, 13 have an angle of wrap of 180-210 degrees.
  • the inner bearing shell segment and the outer bearing shell segment thus represent approximately the shape of a halved cylindrical groove.
  • the rounded thickenings 14, 15 indicated at the butt ends are effective as a contact and support surface in the elongated profile. When swiveling the joint, they serve as a rolling surface up to a rotation angle of max. 20 degrees, based on the dividing line between the extruded profiles 1, 2.
  • a groove / pin connection 16 at the butt end which can also be designed as a labyrinth seal. This relieves the pressure on the joint when there are forces acting laterally on the closed wall.
  • FIG. 5 shows a comparative example with extruded profiles 31, 32 of different thicknesses.
  • strips 33, 34 with a sawtooth-shaped head end can be seen, which are connected by means of a clamp profile 35.
  • the sawtooth-shaped head ends When opened, the sawtooth-shaped head ends are open and unprotected against the effects of dust, dirt and impact loads.
  • the head ends also protrude at the joints and do not end flush with the outside of the extruded profiles.
  • FIGS. 6 to 9 show variants of the joint connection according to the invention which show improved friction behavior.
  • this refers to the expected wear of the joint and, on the other hand, to the effort required to actuate the joint.
  • the clattering noise when metal surfaces collide is avoided, since the joint parts in contact are equipped with plastic profiles on at least one side.
  • clamping profile 3 is shown with T-shaped outlet ends 8, 9. These are supported on the associated surfaces of the extruded profiles 1, 2 by means of correspondingly shaped plastic profiles 18, 19, 38, 39.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 show a joint with a tubular outlet end 29, 30 of the clamping profile 3. This allows the joint and thus the drop gate to be guided in a particularly favorable manner via axially inserted axes.
