Abstract

The invention relates to interconnectable profiled elements (1, 2) in particular for panel-type structural elements of motor vehicles. Said elements comprise on their opposing connecting edges a respective projecting connecting strut (3) and a respective recess (4) that lies at a distance from said connecting strut (3) and is open on the corresponding connecting edge. Said recess receives the connecting strut (3) of an attached profiled element (1, 2) comprising a complementary connecting edge. The aim of the invention is to connect said elements at different distances from one another to achieve an exact length measurement for a component that is composed of several profiled elements. To achieve this, the configuration of the struts (3) and recesses (4) permits the profiled elements (1, 2) to be interconnected at different distances from one another within a predefinable tolerance range.

Description

Miteinander verbindbare Profilelemente, insbesondere für plattenförmige Kraftfahrzeug-Strukturbauteile Interconnectable profile elements, in particular for plate-shaped motor vehicle structural components
Die Erfindung betrifft miteinander verbindbare Profilelemente, insbesondere für plattenförmige Kraftfahrzeug- Strukturbauteile, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to interconnectable profile elements, in particular for plate-shaped motor vehicle structural components, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Solche Profilelemente sind aus DE 197 12 316 AI bekannt. Die Anschlusskanten sind dort jeweils derart ausgebildet, dass die einzelnen Profilelemente jeweils mit einem konstruktiv vorgegebenen Abstand zueinander montiert werden.Such profile elements are known from DE 197 12 316 AI. The connecting edges are each designed in such a way that the individual profile elements are each mounted at a structurally predetermined distance from one another.
Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem, gattungsgemäße Profilelemente mit in einem vorgegebenen Toleranzbereich unterschiedlichen Abständen zueinander fügen und sodann miteinander verbinden zu können.The invention is concerned with the problem of being able to join generic profile elements with different distances to one another within a predetermined tolerance range and then to be able to connect them to one another.
Gelöst wird dieses Problem durch eine Ausgestaltung gattungsgemäßer Profilelemente nach dem kennzeichnenden Merkmal des Patentanspruchs 1.This problem is solved by designing generic profile elements according to the characterizing feature of patent claim 1.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ist Gegenstand des Anspruchs 2.An advantageous embodiment is the subject of claim 2.
Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, bei einem Bauteil, bei dem mehrere Profilelemente in einer Richtung aneinandergereiht sind, das Gesamtmaß in Fügerichtung durch einen möglichen Ausgleich in den Fügebereichen zwischen den einzelnen Profilelementen exakt einstellen zu können, um hierdurch bei der entsprechenden Gesamtlänge des zusammengefügten Bauteiles keine Maßabweichungen tolerieren zu müssen.The invention is based on the general idea that, in the case of a component in which several profile elements are lined up in one direction, the total dimension in the joining direction can be set precisely by a possible compensation in the joining areas between the individual profile elements this means that there is no need to tolerate dimensional deviations in the corresponding total length of the assembled component.
Die überlappend gefügten Profilelemente können bevorzugt durch Schweißen miteinander verbunden sein.The overlapping profile elements can preferably be connected to one another by welding.
Die Profile selbst können plattenförmige Elemente mit einem sandwichartigen Aufbau sein. Insbesondere können die platten- förmigen Elemente eine Art Wabenstruktur aufweisen. Besonders interessant ist die erfindungsgemäße Gestaltung der Fügeränder bei dünnen Plattenelementen. Bei Kraftfahrzeugen lassen sich die erfindungsgemäßen Profilelemente zur Ausbildung einfach gestalteter Tragstruktur einsetzen wie Sie in verschiedenen Ausführungsformen in DE 199 17 177 AI beschrieben sind.The profiles themselves can be plate-shaped elements with a sandwich-like structure. In particular, the plate-shaped elements can have a type of honeycomb structure. The inventive design of the joining edges is particularly interesting in the case of thin plate elements. In motor vehicles, the profile elements according to the invention can be used to form simply designed support structures as described in various embodiments in DE 199 17 177 AI.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt.An embodiment is shown in the drawing.
In dieser zeigt die einzigeIn this shows the only one
Fig. 1 einen Schnitt durch aneinander gefügte Profilelemente.Fig. 1 shows a section through joined profile elements.
Von einem aus einer Vielzahl an Profilelementen zusammengesetzten Bauteil sind bei dem lediglich gezeichneten Ausschnitt miteinander verbunden ein Eckprofil 1 mit jeweils einem sich daran anschließenden plattenförmigen Profilelement 2.A corner profile 1 of a component composed of a large number of profile elements is connected to one another in the merely drawn section, each with a plate-shaped profile element 2 adjoining it.
An den Anschlusskanten der Profilelemente 1, 2 sind jeweils ein abragender Steg 3 und mit Abstand zu diesem ein offen in die Anschlusskante auslaufender Rücksprung 4 vorgesehen. Das jeweils angefügte Profilelement 1, 2 weist in dem betreffenden Anschlussbereich jeweils eine komplementäre Form derart auf, dass die Stege 3 jeweils auf die Rücksprünge 4 aufschiebbar sind. Dabei ist die Form der Rücksprünge 4 und Stege 3 derart aufeinander abgestimmt, dass einerseits in Füge- richtung unterschiedliche Überlappungsbereiche möglich sind und dass andererseits die Oberflächen der plattenartigen Profilelemente in einer gemeinsamen Ebene zu liegen kommen.On the connecting edges of the profile elements 1, 2 there are in each case a projecting web 3 and at a distance from this an open recess 4 running out into the connecting edge. The respectively attached profile element 1, 2 has a complementary shape in the respective connection area such that the webs 3 can each be pushed onto the recesses 4. The shape of the recesses 4 and webs 3 is coordinated with one another in such a way that direction different overlap areas are possible and that on the other hand the surfaces of the plate-like profile elements come to lie in a common plane.
Die Ausbildung der gezeichneten Fügebereiche zeigt recht deutlich, dass die einzelnen Profilelemente 1, 2 mit unterschiedlichen Abständen zueinander gefügt werden können, indem sich hierdurch lediglich unterschiedlich lange Überlappungsbereiche zwischen Stegen 3 und Rücksprüngen 4 ergeben.The design of the drawn joining areas shows quite clearly that the individual profile elements 1, 2 can be joined at different distances from one another, since this only results in overlap areas of different lengths between webs 3 and recesses 4.
Eine Fixierung der gefügten Profilelemente 1, 2 kann beispielsweise in recht vorteilhafter Weise durch auf die Materialien der Profilelemente abgestimmte Schweißungen erfolgen.The joined profile elements 1, 2 can be fixed, for example, in a very advantageous manner by welding that is matched to the materials of the profile elements.
Tragstrukturteile, die aus den erfindungsgemäß gefügten Profilelementen bestehen, können insbesondere äußerst vorteilhaft bei Fahrzeugkarosserien einschließlich tragenden Bodenbereichen eingesetzt werden. Support structure parts, which consist of the profile elements joined according to the invention, can be used particularly advantageously in vehicle bodies, including load-bearing floor areas.
