Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connecting and deflecting element for drawstrings in a pneumatic component according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • drawstrings For pneumatic components, for example after WO 01/73245 , The occurring tensile loads are transmitted by drawstrings from a node element to the pneumatic component.
  • drawstrings For pneumatic components, for example after WO 01/73245 , The occurring tensile loads are transmitted by drawstrings from a node element to the pneumatic component.
  • at least two drawstrings are provided which, starting from the two node elements of the pneumatic component, are laid around the pneumatic component in an opposite sense of helix and tightened tightly. With two drawstrings they cross each other at one point; However, if there are four drawstrings, then, depending on the design of the loop angle and the number of nodes provided, at least three crossing points are already possible.
  • intersections are mathematically easy to determine.
  • the technical compliance with the prediction depends not least on the craftsmanship, which is spent in the construction and the establishment of such a pneumatic component.
  • the intersections, especially when the drawstrings are designed as steel cable, cause disturbances in the shape of the outer skin of the pneumatic component.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a connecting and deflecting element of the type mentioned, which allows to overcome the disadvantages listed and which is also inexpensive to manufacture as Serienfabrikat.
  • Fig. 1 is an isometric view of a pneumatic device according to the prior art. It is constructed from a substantially cylindrical gas-tight hollow body 1 with two caps 5. A push rod 2 is clamped between two node elements 3. At this two drawstrings 4 are fixed, which are guided in opposite sense ringelfinsinne around the hollow body 1 and bear tightly against this. The drawstrings 4 cross each other on a surface line 6, which runs opposite the pressure rod 2, on half the length of the cylindrical hollow body 1 at a crossing point 7.
  • Fig. 2 shows a plan view
  • Fig. 3 an isometry.
  • a plate 8 which is bent as a basic shape so that it rests smoothly on a hollow body 1 with a certain diameter, has a cutout 9.
  • Two drawstrings 4 in the form of cables 11, are inserted into the cutout 9 and lie there tangentiell without kink.
  • Two dash-dotted lines 10 denote the lines of action of the cables 11.
  • the lines of action 10 intersect each other in the intersection 7, and denote the course of the pulling forces passing through the cables 11.
  • the cables 11 themselves no longer have an intersection.
  • each two adjacent form a tension band 4.
  • a cover 14 is provided to guide the cables 11 compelling side by side.
  • the lid 14 may be formed so that it clamps the cable 11 at the same time, or carrier of a - known, but not shown here - clamping device.
  • the finished molded plate 8 - including the designated as a recess 9 form element - by embossing, drop forging, extrusion or a similar, so generally produced by a non-machining molding process, which is able to significantly reduce the unit cost.
  • Fig. 5, 6 are illustrations of a second embodiment of the connecting and deflecting element; Fig. 5 in isometry, Fig. 6 as a section BB.
  • This is designed as a hollow body 15 with a suitable for the pneumatic component of the selected size bend.
  • the transversely to the cables 11 provided clear height of the hollow body 15 is dimensioned so that it corresponds to the diameter of the cable 11 so that they can be retracted without jamming.
  • a subsequent clamping of the cable 11 can be effected by deforming the flat hollow body 15 or by wedging.
  • a variant of the second embodiment according to Fig. 7 on average, analogous to Fig. 6 is shown, is provided for receiving four or more cables 11. Either then there is also a drawstring 4 of several cables 11, or there are intersections of more than two drawstrings 4 to be unbundled.
  • the hollow body 15 according to Fig. 5 to 7 may be formed from pipe material, either by single forming and / or by extrusion, the latter in particular Fig. 12 . 13 ,
  • a third embodiment of an inventive connection and deflection element shows Fig. 8 , A connecting and deflecting element 24 constructed from two substantially identical parts 22, 23 is held together by a screw connection 25 shown schematically. The entire axial projection of the tensile forces therefore runs through the screw, which is designed according to tensile strength, for which means and materials are known per se.
  • the cables 11 are fastened in anchors 26 with a spherical cap-shaped outer contour. These are in pans 27 corresponding shape, so that act on the attachment points of the cable 11 no bending moments. Versions 28 for the cable 11 are made correspondingly conical. This allows slight deviations from the nominal geometry of the pneumatic component to be absorbed.
  • the connecting and deflecting element 24 can analogously to that according to Fig. 4 be designed as a curved plate, or analogous to that of Fig. 10 as part of the pressure rod 2. In the latter case, the screw 25 only adjustment tasks or can be completely eliminated.
  • the connecting and deflecting element 24 can also be designed for more than four cables 11, regardless of whether the cables are then to be arranged in one or more planes.
  • the connecting and deflecting element 24 finds particular use where numerous drawstrings are provided for a pneumatic component, such as in a column used as a column and axially loaded pneumatic component. Here it may be advantageous to divide the drawstrings 4 and the parts with connecting and deflecting elements 24 together. This further facilitates a modular construction of pneumatic components.
  • Fig. 9a, b show schematically how a deflecting element 8, 15, 24 is divided parallel to the push rod along its center line 31, so that two functional halves 18, 30 arise.
  • These functional halves 18, 30 can now be combined in various ways into further variants of deflecting elements which avoid crossing points 7 on a pressure bar 2.
  • the functional halves 18, 30 are fixed to a base plate 32 so that a space for the push rod 2 is formed.
  • a cover 14 can also be attached, whereby the pressure rod is enclosed by the deflecting element.
  • the two functional halves 18, 30 are to be attached only to the cover 14 and no base plate 32 to be used.
  • a second variant ( Fig. 9d ) is based on inserting a pressure-loadable middle part 21 between the two functional halves 18, 30, which is mounted between pieces 20 of the pressure rod 2 and thus becomes part of the pressure rod.
  • a third variant ( Fig. 9e )
  • the functional halves 18, 30 are provided with comb-like protuberances 17 and the push rod 2 with matching to these protuberances 17 grooves 16.
  • the functional halves 18, 30 can now be inserted and positioned in the grooves 16.
  • the attachment the protuberance 17 on the pressure rod 2 and the groove 16 on the functional halves 18, 30 is also according to the invention.
  • the 10 to 12 show connecting and deflection elements, the three variants in Fig. 9 correspond, in isometric representation.
  • FIG. 10 connecting and deflecting element shown is placed over the push rod 2, so that each a hollow body 18 abuts the pressure rod 2 laterally.
  • the hollow body 18 may be configured to receive one or more cables 11 each.
  • the connecting and deflecting element in Fig. 11 is set up for receiving one or more cables 11 on each side of the push rod 2. It is also designed so that it can be inserted between two pieces 20 of the push rod 2; maW, its middle part 21 is itself part of the push rod. The alignment of the parts 20, 21 of the push rod 2 can be forced with known means of mechanics.
  • the push rod 2 in FIG. 12 carries laterally each a groove 16 which serve to receive protuberances 17 which are integrally formed on flat hollow bodies 18.
  • the hollow bodies 18 may be designed so that they are suitable for one or more cables 11.
  • Fig. 13 is a sectional view of the DD Fig. 12 ,
  • the hollow body 18 with its protuberance 17 was formed by forming a piece of pipe and inserted into the groove 16 of the push rod 2.
