Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tragkonstruktion für eine Fahrtreppe oder einen Fahrsteig gemäss dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a supporting structure for an escalator or moving walk according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der Schrift US-4811829 ist eine Tragkonstruktion bekannt geworden, die aus Fachwerkelementen besteht, die eine Mehrzahl von Sektoren aufweisen. Die Sektoren bestehen aus zusammengeschweissten Winkelprofilen und werden am Bauort miteinander verschweisst oder geschraubt. Es sind somit viele Assemblier- und Ablängarbeiten nötig. Ein Nachteil ist darin zu sehen, dass der Montageaufwand und die Montagezeit hoch sind, was zu höheren Kosten führt. Ausserdem ist die Ausnutzung des Materials nicht optimal. Viele Profile sind spannungsmässig kaum ausgenützt. Auch sind die Profile oft nicht gewichtsoptimiert.From the Scriptures US 4811829 a support structure has become known which consists of truss elements which have a plurality of sectors. The sectors consist of welded-together angle profiles and are welded or screwed together at the construction site. There are thus many assembly and Ablängarbeiten necessary. A disadvantage is the fact that the assembly costs and assembly time are high, which leads to higher costs. In addition, the utilization of the material is not optimal. Many profiles are barely exploited in terms of voltage. Also, the profiles are often not weight optimized.

Aus der EP 1 074 507 A ist bekannt, derartig aus Fachwerkelementen aufgebaute Tragwände nachträglich durch Platten zu versteifen, in denen Grifflöcher vorgesehen sein können.From the EP 1 074 507 A It is known to reinforce such constructed of truss elements supporting walls subsequently by plates in which grip holes can be provided.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Tragkonstruktion der eingangs genannten Art vorzuschlagen, welche die vorgenannten Nachteile nicht aufweist und eine leichte und billige Montage gewährleistet.The invention has for its object to provide a support structure of the type mentioned, which does not have the aforementioned disadvantages and ensures easy and cheap installation.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of patent claim 1.

Ein Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, dass die Tragkonstruktion wenige zusammenassemblierbare Fachwerkelemente aufweist. Unter Fachwerkelement ist ein Rahmengefüge mit mindestens einer umschlossenen Aussparung zu verstehen. Es sind somit weniger Schweissarbeiten nötig. Die einzelnen einstückig ausgebildeten Fachwerkelemente sind leicht herstellbar und selbstragend, das heisst sie üben selber eine Tragfunktion aus.An advantage is the fact that the support structure has few zusammenwerkemblierbare truss elements. Under framework element is a frame structure with at least to understand an enclosed recess. There are thus less welding required. The individual integrally formed truss elements are easy to manufacture and self-supporting, that is, they exercise themselves a support function.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Fachwerkelement als flächige, unprofilierte Platte ausgebildet. Der signifikante Vorteil ist der Entfall von Stahlbauprofilen, Zuschnitten, Ablängungen, Knotenblechen, usw.According to the truss element is designed as a flat, unprofiled plate. The significant advantage is the elimination of steel construction profiles, blanks, cuts, gusset plates, etc.

Weiters weist das Fachwerkelement mindestens eine Aussparung auf, die im Schneidverfahren gebildet ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Fachwerkelemente leicht spannungs- und gewichtsoptimiert werden können. Die Materialausnutzung kann um ein Vielfaches gesteigert werden, was zu großen wirtschaftlichen Vorteilen führt.Furthermore, the truss element has at least one recess, which is formed in the cutting process. This has the advantage that the truss elements can be easily tension and weight optimized. The material utilization can be increased many times, which leads to great economic advantages.

Außerden ist das Fachwerkelement als Tragwand ausgebildet. Das Fachwerkelement fungiert also selbst als Hauptelement der Tragkonstruktion.Außerden the truss element is designed as a support wall. The truss element thus acts itself as the main element of the supporting structure.

Da die Tragkonstruktion zwei Tragwände aufweist, welche seitlich an einem Stufen- oder Palettenband der Fahrtreppe oder des Fahrsteiges angeordnet sind und welche miteinander durch Querrahmen oder Endrahmen verbunden sind, besteht die eigentliche Tragkonstruktion der Fahrtreppe oder des Fahrsteiges aus diesen leicht herstellbaren Tragelementen.Since the support structure has two support walls, which are arranged laterally on a step or pallet band of the escalator or the moving walk and which are interconnected by transverse frame or end frame, the actual supporting structure of the escalator or the moving walk consists of these easily produced support elements.

Durch die in den abhängigen Patentansprüche aufgeführten Massnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen der im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Tragkonstruktion möglich.The measures listed in the dependent claims advantageous refinements and improvements of claim 1 support structure are possible.

Vorteilhafterweise kann der Querrahmen einen Querverbinder aufweisen, der zur Seitenversteifung Umbüge aufweist. Dadurch wird eine höhere Stabilität der Tragkonstruktion gewährleistet.Advantageously, the transverse frame can have a transverse connector which has stirrups for lateral reinforcement. This ensures a higher stability of the supporting structure.

Vorteilhafterweise weist die Tragwand eine Obergurtversteifung gegen Ausknicken auf. Dies erhöht ebenfalls die Stabilität der Tragkonstruktion.Advantageously, the support wall on a Obergurtversteifung against buckling. This also increases the stability of the supporting structure.

Vorteilhafterweise kann die Tragkonstruktion eine Untersichtebene aufweisen, die als Bodenblech ausgebildet oder mit Diagonalen versehen ist. Dieses Element ist auch leicht herstellbar, was zu einer weiteren Reduzierung der Produktionskosten beitragen kann. Ausserdem trägt die Untersichtebene zur räumlichen Stabilisierung der Tragkonstruktion bei.Advantageously, the support structure may comprise a lower level, which is formed as a bottom plate or provided with diagonals. This element is also easy to manufacture, which can contribute to a further reduction of production costs. In addition, the lower level contributes to the spatial stabilization of the supporting structure.

Vorteilhafterweise sind die Tragwände, die Querrahmen, die Endrahmen, die Obergurtversteifung und die Untersichtebene miteinander fest verbunden, vorzugsweise verschweisst. Dies gewährleistet eine feste stabile fertige Tragkonstruktion.Advantageously, the support walls, the transverse frame, the end frame, the Obergurtversteifung and the lower level are firmly connected to each other, preferably welded. This ensures a solid stable finished support structure.

Vorteilhafterweise können die Fachwerkelemente aus einem flachen, flächigen, unprofilierten Vorprodukt, wie zum Beispiel Blech, hergestellt sein.Advantageously, the truss elements can be made of a flat, flat, unprofiled precursor, such as sheet metal.

Die Erfindung weist weiter folgende Vorteile auf:

  • Die Fachwerkelemente können im mannlosen, computergestützten 24-Stunden-Brennschneidebetrieb gefertigt werden. Der Abfall ist komplett wiederverwertbar und wiederverwendbar. Durch eine größere Freiheit in der Formgebung der Tragwandkontur können auch gestalterische Ausnehmungen, welche dann durch eine Glas-Außenverkleidung einen bestimmten optischen Zweck verfolgen, realisiert werden.
  • Die Tragwand kann überhöht (z. B. parabelförmig) nach oben gekrümmt hergestellt werden, damit unter Eigengewicht rein optisch keine Durchbiegung auftritt.
The invention further has the following advantages:
  • The truss elements can be manufactured in the unmanned, computer-aided 24-hour flame cutting operation. The waste is completely recyclable and reusable. By a greater freedom in the shape of the supporting wall contour and design recesses, which then pursue a glass outer lining for a specific optical purpose, can be realized.
  • The support wall can be made curved (eg parabolic) curved upward, so that under its own weight purely optically no deflection occurs.

Alle erläuterten Merkmale sind nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen oder in Alleinstellung verwendbar, ohne den Rahmen der Erfindung zu verlassen.All features explained are not only in the particular combination specified, but also in other combinations or alone, without departing from the scope of the invention.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in den schematischen Zeichnungen dargestellt und in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine seitliche Ansicht einer Tragkonstruktion gemäss einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung,
  • Fig. 2 die Tragkonstruktion aus Figur 1 im Schnitt A-B,
  • Fig. 3 einen Schnitt gemäss Linie D-D aus Figur 2,
  • Fig. 4 eine Schnittdarstellung eines Endes der Tragkonstruktion aus Figur 1.
Embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the schematic drawings and explained in more detail in the following description. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 a side view of a support structure according to an embodiment of the invention,
  • Fig. 2 the supporting structure FIG. 1 on average AB,
  • Fig. 3 a section according to line DD FIG. 2 .
  • Fig. 4 a sectional view of an end of the support structure FIG. 1 ,

Fig. 1 zeigt eine seitliche Ansicht einer Tragkonstruktion 1 in Einbaulage beispielsweise einer nicht näher dargestellten Fahrtreppe oder eines nicht näher dargestellten Fahrsteiges. Eine Tragwand 3 der Tragkonstruktion 1 ist gezeigt und weist in diesem Beispiel mehrere Fachwerkelemente 2, 2', 2'' auf. Selbstverständlich kann die Tragwand 3 nur ein einziges Fachwerkelement 2, 2', 2'' aufweisen. Unter Fachwerkelement 2, 2', 2'' ist ein Rahmengefüge mit mindestens einer umschlossenen Aussparung zu verstehen. Die Tragkonstruktion 1 einer Fahrtreppe oder eines Fahrsteiges besitzt üblicherweise zwei Tragwände 3, die an beiden Seiten des Stufenbandes der Fahrtreppe beziehungsweise des Palettenbandes des Fahrsteiges angeordnet sind. Die Fachwerkelemente 2, 2', 2'' der Tragwand 3 sind einstückig ausgebildet, das heisst sie sind aus einem Stück hergestellt, ohne dass verschiedene Stücke miteinander verbunden werden müssen. Die Fachwerkelemente 2, 2', 2'' können aus einem flachen, flächigen, unprofilierten Walzvorprodukt, wie zum Beispiel Blech, hergestellt sein. Fig. 1 shows a side view of a support structure 1 in installation position, for example, an escalator, not shown, or a moving walk, not shown. A support wall 3 of the support structure 1 is shown and has in this example a plurality of truss elements 2, 2 ', 2''on. Of course, the support wall 3 only a single truss element 2, 2 ', 2''have. Under framework element 2, 2 ', 2''is a frame structure with at least one enclosed recess to understand. The support structure 1 of an escalator or moving walk usually has two support walls 3, which are arranged on both sides of the step band of the escalator or the pallet band of the moving walk. The truss elements 2, 2 ', 2''of the support wall 3 are integrally formed, that is, they are made in one piece, without that different pieces must be connected together. The truss elements 2, 2 ', 2''can be made of a flat, flat, unprofiled Walzvorprodukt, such as sheet metal.

Mit flach wird irgendein ebenes Produkt definiert, das als Querschnitt ein Rechteck hat, dessen Breite grösser als die Dicke ist. Vorzugsweise ist die Breite um eine oder mehrere Grössenordnungen grösser als die Dicke. Als ebenes Produkt ist ein Produkt zu verstehen, das keine Erhebungen und Vertiefungen aufweist. Mit flächigem Produkt ist ein zweidimensionales Produkt zu verstehen. Das Fachwerkelement 2, 2', 2'' weist somit beispielsweise kein T-, I-, Rund-, Hohl- oder Winkelprofil oder ähnliche Profile auf, es weist schlechthin kein Profil auf. Das Fachwerkelement 2 kann also beispielsweise ausschliesslich aus einem planen Stahlblech oder aus einer Platte herausgearbeitet werden, die vorzugsweise eine Dicke von ca. 15 mm aufweisen. Das Fachwerkelement 2, 2', 2'' weist mindestens eine Aussparung 20 auf, die durch ein Schneidverfahren gebildet ist. Als Beispiel weist das Fachwerkelement 2' in Figur 1 zwei Aussparungen 20 auf, die durch das Rahmengefüge R voneinander getrennt sind und vom Rahmengefüge R umschlossen sind. Als weitere Beispiele zeigen die Fachwerkelemente 2 und 2'' in Figur 1 vier beziehungsweise acht Ausnehmungen 20. Die Tragwand 3 kann aus einem oder mehreren, vorzugsweise stumpfverschweissten, Fachwerkelementen 2, 2', " bestehen, die beispielsweise brenn- oder plasma- oder lasergeschnitten werden.Flat is defined as any planar product having a rectangle as a cross-section whose width is greater than the thickness. Preferably, the width is larger by one or more orders of magnitude than the thickness. A flat product is to be understood as a product which has no elevations and depressions. Flat product means a two-dimensional product. The framework element 2, 2 ', 2 "thus has, for example, no T, I, round, Hollow or angle profile or similar profiles, it has no profile on par excellence. The truss element 2 can thus be worked out, for example, exclusively from a flat sheet steel or from a plate, which preferably have a thickness of about 15 mm. The truss element 2, 2 ', 2''has at least one recess 20, which is formed by a cutting process. As an example, the truss element 2 'in FIG. 1 two recesses 20 which are separated by the frame structure R and are enclosed by the frame structure R. As further examples, the truss elements 2 and 2 "in FIG FIG. 1 four or eight recesses 20. The support wall 3 may consist of one or more, preferably butt-welded, truss elements 2, 2 ', "consist, for example, the flame or plasma or laser cut.

Die Aussparungen 20 sind vorzugsweise so geschnitten, dass eine spannungs- und gewichtsoptimierte Tragwand hergestellt wird. Die Tragwand 3 weist im Wesentlichen soviel tragendes Material auf, zum Beispiel in Form von Stegen oder Trägern M, wie für die Ausübung der Tragfunktion nötig ist. Hierzu wird im Bereich der Aussparungen 20 Material herausgenommen, das für andere Zwecke weiterverwendet werden kann. Die Tragwand 3 oder im allgemeinen das Fachwerkselement 2, 2', 2'' ist somit ein Leichtbau und gewichtsoptimiert. Eine Spannungsoptimierung der Tragwand 3 oder im Allgemeinen des Fachwerkselements 2, 2', 2'' wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Tragwand 3 beziehungsweise das Fachwerkelement 2, 2', 2'' im Wesentlichen soviel tragendes Material aufweist, um Kräfte aufzunehmen und auf Auflager weiterzuleiten, sodass keine Verbiegung der ganzen Struktur stattfindet und die Stabilität, die Steifigkeit oder dergleichen der ganzen Struktur gewährleistet. Zu diesem Zweck können die Aussparungen 20 zum Beispiel eine dreieckige Kontur aufweisen, wobei andere spannungsoptimierte Konturen ebenfalls möglich sind.The recesses 20 are preferably cut so that a stress- and weight-optimized support wall is produced. The support wall 3 has substantially as much supporting material, for example in the form of webs or beams M, as is necessary for the exercise of the support function. For this purpose, 20 material is removed in the region of the recesses, which can be used for other purposes. The support wall 3 or in general the truss element 2, 2 ', 2''is thus lightweight and weight-optimized. A voltage optimization of the support wall 3 or in general of the truss element 2, 2 ', 2''is achieved in that the support wall 3 and the truss element 2, 2', 2 '' has substantially as much supporting material to absorb forces and on supports forward, so no Bending of the whole structure takes place and ensures the stability, rigidity or the like of the whole structure. For this purpose, the recesses 20 may, for example, have a triangular contour, wherein other voltage-optimized contours are also possible.

Auf der oberen Seite der Tragwand 3 ist eine Obergurtversteifung 10 gegen Ausknicken angeordnet, die beispielsweise in Form eines Formrohres oder eines Walzwinkels ausgebildet ist. Auf beiden Enden der endgültigen Tragwand 3 sind Auflagerträger 8 ersichtlich, die als Endverbindung der Tragkonstruktion 1 dienen und bauseitig gelagert sind.On the upper side of the support wall 3 a Obergurtversteifung 10 is arranged against buckling, which is formed for example in the form of a forming tube or a whip angle. On both ends of the final support wall 3 bearing support 8 can be seen, which serve as an end connection of the support structure 1 and are stored on site.

Auf der unteren Seite der Tragwand 3 sind Transportfüsse T vorgesehen, die als Aufstandspunkte und/oder Zurrpunkte ausgebildet sein können. Die Transportfüsse T, die beispielsweise einstückig mit einem Fachwerkelement gebildet sind, dienen für die Transportabstellung auf der Baustelle, um die Untersichtebene 6 nicht zu verkratzen.On the lower side of the support wall 3 transport feet T are provided, which may be formed as Aufaufspunkte and / or lashing points. The transport feet T, which are formed for example in one piece with a truss element, are used for the transport shutdown on the construction site in order not to scratch the lower level 6.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Querschnittdarstellung der Tragkonstruktion, wobei die zwei Tragwände 3 durch ein als Querrahmen 40 ausgebildetes Fachwerkelement, auch Spant genannt, und eine Untersichtebene 6 räumlich verbunden sind. Der Querrahmen 40 weist einen Querverbinder 4 auf, welcher zwischen dem Vorlauf des Stufen- oder Palettenbandes und dessen Rücklauf angeordnet ist. Das heisst die Stufen des Stufenbandes der Fahrtreppe beziehungsweise die Paletten des Palettenbandes des Fahrsteiges laufen in eine Richtung oberhalb des Querverbinders 4 und in umgekehrte Richtung unterhalb des Querverbinders 4. Der Querrahmen 40 kann auch aus einem oder mehreren Fachwerkelementen bestehen, in denen vorzugsweise mittels Brenn- oder Plasma- oder Laserschneidverfahren optimierte Aussparungen 20 ausgeschnitten worden sind. In diesem Beispiel weist der Querrahmen 40 nur eine Ausnehmung 20 auf. Die Querrahmen 40 sind über die ganze Länge der Tragkonstruktion 1 in regelmässigen oder in unregelmässigen Abstände verteilt. Die Querrahmen 40 können ebenfalls aus einem planen Stahlblech oder Platte hergestellt werden, die vorzugsweise eine Dicke von ca. 15 mm, bevorzugt 5 bis 10 mm aufweist. Die Untersichtebene 6, die beispielsweise als Bodenblech ausgebildet werden kann, verbindet die unteren Enden der zwei planen Tragwände 3. Die Untersichtebene 6 kann auch beispielsweise mit profilierten Diagonalen versehen werden (zum Beispiel C-Profile oder U-Profile), die der Rahmensteifigkeit im unteren Bereich dienen. Die Untersichtebene 6 kann beispielsweise Stahl- oder Nirostablech besitzen. Der Querverbinder 4 ist mit zwei Umbügen 4.1 zur Verbesserung der Seitensteifigkeit versehen. Der Querrahmen 40 weist weiter in Bodennähe, zwischen den planen Tragwänden 3, einen unteren Querzug 7, der der räumlichen Stabilisierung dient, auf. Die beispielsweise rohrförmig ausgebildete Obergurtversteifung 10 gegen Ausknicken wird auf die Tragwände 3 und auf den Querrahmen 40 aufgesetzt und verschweisst. FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the support structure, wherein the two support walls 3 by a trained as a transverse frame 40 truss element, also called Spant, and a bottom plane 6 are spatially connected. The transverse frame 40 has a transverse connector 4, which is arranged between the flow of the step or pallet strip and the return. This means that the steps of the step belt of the escalator or the pallets of the pallet conveyor of the moving walk run in one direction The cross frame 40 may also consist of one or more truss elements, in which preferably by means of combustion or plasma or laser cutting process optimized recesses 20 have been cut out. In this example, the transverse frame 40 has only one recess 20. The transverse frame 40 are distributed over the entire length of the support structure 1 in regular or irregular intervals. The transverse frames 40 can also be made of a flat sheet steel or plate, which preferably has a thickness of about 15 mm, preferably 5 to 10 mm. The lower level 6, which may be formed, for example, as a floor panel, connects the lower ends of the two planar support walls 3. The lower level 6 can also be provided for example with profiled diagonal (for example, C-profiles or U-profiles), the frame stiffness in the lower Serve area. The lower level 6, for example, steel or Nirostablech possess. The cross connector 4 is provided with two Umbügen 4.1 to improve the lateral stiffness. The transverse frame 40 has further near the bottom, between the flat supporting walls 3, a lower transverse cable 7, which serves for the spatial stabilization on. The example tubular trained Obergurtversteifung 10 against buckling is placed on the support walls 3 and on the transverse frame 40 and welded.

Figur 3 zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung gemäss Linie D-D des Querverbinders 4, bei der die Umbüge 4.1 deutlicher dargestellt sind. Die Umbüge 4.1 können beispielweise durch Biegung des Querverbinders 4 an einem oder an beiden seiner horizontalen Enden, zum Beispiel mit Hilfe einer Biegemaschine, entstehen. In diesem Beispiel sind die obere und die untere Kante des Querverbinders 4 seitlich um ca. 90 Grad umgebogen, wobei an sich die beiden Kanten weniger (von 0 bis 90 Grad) oder mehr (von 90 bis 180 Grad) umgebogen werden können. Im Allgemeinen können alle Biegemöglichkeiten betrachtet werden, die den Zweck verfolgen, die Seitensteifigkeit des Querrahmens 4 zu verbessern. FIG. 3 shows a sectional view along the line DD of the cross connector 4, in which the Umbüge 4.1 are shown more clearly. The Umbüge 4.1 can, for example, by Bending the cross connector 4 at one or both of its horizontal ends, for example by means of a bending machine arise. In this example, the upper and lower edges of the cross connector 4 are bent laterally by about 90 degrees, whereby per se the two edges can be bent less (from 0 to 90 degrees) or more (from 90 to 180 degrees). In general, all bending possibilities can be considered with the purpose of improving the lateral rigidity of the transverse frame 4.

Figur 4 zeigt eine Querschnittsdarstellung der Tragkonstruktion 1 auf einem ihrer beiden Enden. In Ansicht C sieht man die Tragkonstruktionaussenansicht und die Auskreuzung am Tragkonstruktionsende sowie die Auflagerwinkelanbindung. Ein als Endrahmen 5 ausgebildetes Fachwerkelement verbindet die Tragwände 3 an beiden Enden der Tragkonstruktion. Der Endrahmen 5 ist ebenfalls aus einer Platte von ca. 15 mm, bevorzugt 8-10 mm Dicke herausgearbeitet, wobei die Aussparungen 20 durch ein Schneidverfahren, vorzugsweise mittels Brenn- oder Plasma- oder Laserschneidverfahren, entstanden sind. In dieser Ausführungsform besteht der Endrahmen 5 aus einem einzigen Fachwerkelement und weist vier Aussparungen 20 auf. Der Endrahmen 5 kann selbstverständlich auch aus mehreren Fachwerkelementen bestehen. Der Auflagerträger 8 dient als Endverbindung im obersten Bereich der Tragkonstruktion. FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the support structure 1 on one of its two ends. In view C you can see the supporting structure outside view and the outcrossing of the supporting structure end and the Auflagerwinkelanbindung. A trained as an end frame 5 truss element connects the support walls 3 at both ends of the support structure. The end frame 5 is also machined from a plate of about 15 mm, preferably 8-10 mm thickness, wherein the recesses 20 are formed by a cutting process, preferably by means of combustion or plasma or laser cutting process. In this embodiment, the end frame 5 consists of a single truss member and has four recesses 20. The end frame 5 can of course also consist of several truss elements. The support carrier 8 serves as an end connection in the uppermost region of the supporting structure.

Zusammenfassend weist die Tragkonstruktion in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform zwei brenn-, plasma- oder lasergeschnitte Tragwände 3, eine Reihe von ebenfalls brenn-, plasma- oder lasergeschnitten Querrahmen 40 und Endrahmen 5, die Obergurtversteifung 10 gegen Ausknicken, die Untersichtsebene 6, die Auflagerträger 8 sowie gegebenenfalls zusätzliche Versteifungen, wie Hauptwellenaufnahme (Lagerflansch) usw. auf. Die Untersichtebene 6 ist zum Beispiel als Bodenblech ausgebildet oder weist Diagonalen auf. Die Tragwände 3, Querrahmen 40 und Endrahmen 5 werden ohne nennenswerte Nacharbeit aus einem oder mehreren, vorzugsweise stumpfverschweißten, als Fachwerkelemente ausgebildeten Blechschnittteil/en brenn- oder plasma oder lasergeschnitten. Diese Art von Tragkonstruktionen ist vor allem für kleinere Spannweiten geeignet, zum Beispiel für Kaufhaustreppen.In summary, the support structure in a preferred embodiment, two burn-, plasma- or laser-cut support walls 3, a series of likewise flame-, plasma- or laser-cut transverse frame 40 and End frame 5, the Obergurtversteifung 10 against buckling, the lower level 6, the support beams 8 and possibly additional stiffeners, such as main shaft support (bearing flange), etc. on. The lower level 6 is formed for example as a floor panel or has diagonals. The support walls 3, transverse frame 40 and end frame 5 are without significant reworking of one or more, preferably butt-welded, formed as truss elements Blechschnittteil / s burning or plasma or laser cut. This type of supporting structures is particularly suitable for smaller spans, for example for department store stairs.

Die Obergurtversteifung 10, liegt auf den Tragwänden 3 über ihre ganze Länge auf und wird mit diesen verschweisst. Der Querrahmen 40 und der Endrahmen 5 dienen als Raumversteifung, diese werden zusätzlich mit der Obergurtversteifung 10 verschweisst. Die Auflagerträger 8 dienen als Endverbindung der Tragkonstruktion und werden sowohl mit der Obergurtversteifung 10 als auch mit den Tragwänden 3 verschweisst.The Obergurtversteifung 10, rests on the support walls 3 over their entire length and is welded to them. The transverse frame 40 and the end frame 5 serve as space reinforcement, these are additionally welded to the Obergurtversteifung 10. The support beams 8 serve as an end connection of the supporting structure and are welded to both the upper belt stiffener 10 and the support walls 3.

Der Querrahmen 40 beziehungsweise der Endrahmen 5 sind somit in der fertigen Tragkonstruktion mit der Obergurtversteifung 10, mit der Untersichtsebene 6 und den Tragwänden 3 fest und dauerhaft verbunden, vorzugsweise verschweisst.The transverse frame 40 and the end frame 5 are thus firmly and permanently connected in the finished support structure with the Obergurtversteifung 10, with the lower level 6 and the support walls 3, preferably welded.

Durch den einfachen Aufbau der Tragkonstruktion ohne sehr viel Schweissarbeit wird die Produktions- und Montagezeit wesentlich verkürzt. Der Arbeitsaufwand pro Tragkonstruktion ist als gering einzustufen, da die Tragwände 3 vorgefertigt (geschnitten) sind.Due to the simple construction of the supporting structure without a great deal of welding work, the production and assembly time is significantly reduced. The amount of work per support structure is to be classified as low, since the supporting walls 3 are prefabricated (cut).

Das für die Herstellung der Fachwerkelemente verwendete Vorprodukt, insbesondere Blech, weist eine Dicke von vorzugsweise ca. 15 mm, wobei andere Dicken, zum Beispiel von 5 mm bis 50 mm, auch verwendbar sind.The precursor used for the production of the truss elements, in particular sheet metal, has a thickness of preferably approximately 15 mm, wherein other thicknesses, for example from 5 mm to 50 mm, can also be used.

Durch die erfindungsgemässe "geschnittene Tragkonstruktion" erhält man somit eine gewichts- und spannungsoptimierte Tragkonstruktion für Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteige.The "cut support structure" according to the invention thus provides a weight- and tension-optimized support structure for escalators and moving walks.
