Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pneumatic carrier according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a pneumatic carrier in the form of inflatable hollow bodies have become known, for example from US 3,894,307 (D1) and from WO 01/73245 (D2) of the same applicant as the present one Invention. If such a carrier is loaded transversely, the problem to be solved is above all to absorb the tensile and shear forces that occur without the carrier buckling.
  • the axial compressive forces are absorbed by a pressure rod, while the axial tensile forces are absorbed by two tensioning elements spirally wound around the hollow body and attached to the pressure rod ends.
  • the pneumatic part of the components described there has the task of stabilizing the pressure bars against buckling.
  • Dl is the closest document to the present invention.
  • the disclosed in D2 pneumatic component has at least two, due to their winding around the hollow body in comparison to the length of the component relatively long tension elements. This leads to greater deflection under load than when using shorter tension elements.
  • the tension element is a large-area shell which can absorb only limited tensile forces and can only be tensioned with great technical effort.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide pneumatic supports with tension and compression elements, which have a high flexural rigidity, simple and produced at low cost, easily assembled to more complex components and structures such as roofs and bridges, their erection can be done very quickly and can also be connected in a simple manner with conventional Baukon- structures.

  • 2a, b is a schematic representation of a second embodiment of a pneumatic support in side view and in cross section
  • 3a, b is a schematic representation of a third embodiment of a pneumatic support as isometry and in cross-section,
  • 4a, b is a schematic representation of a fourth embodiment of a pneumatic support in side view in rolled up and inflated state
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of a first embodiment of the non-positive connection of the pressure / tension elements in side view
  • 6 is a schematic representation of a second embodiment of the non-positive connection of the pressure / tension elements in side view
  • 7 is a schematic representation of an embodiment of a pressure / tension element in plan view
  • FIGS. 8-10 are schematic representations of three exemplary embodiments of the hollow body form in side view
  • 11-13 are schematic representations of three embodiments for subdivided into several pressure chambers hollow body in longitudinal section,
  • FIG. 14 is a schematic representation of a fifth embodiment of a pneumatic support in side view
  • Fig. 15a-c is a schematic representation of a first application example for the connection of multiple pneumatic carrier.
  • a carrier 1 is a schematic representation of a first embodiment of the inventive concept.
  • a carrier 1 consists of a tapered towards the ends, elongated hollow body 2, a push rod 3 and a tension element 4.
  • the hollow body 2 is formed by a sheath 7 of gas-tight flexible low-stretch material. Since these properties are difficult to combine in one material, the hollow body 2 is advantageously constructed from an outer, low-expansion flexible sleeve 7 and an inner gastight, elastic bladder.
  • the hollow body 2 can be acted upon via a valve 6 with compressed gas.
  • Both the push rod 3 and the tension element 4 lie along this diametrically opposite generatrices of the hollow body 2 at this.
  • the push rod 3 is connected by suitable means along this generatrix with the hollow body 2 frictionally.
  • the ends of the tension element 4 are frictionally attached to the ends of the push rod 3.
  • This first exemplary embodiment of a pneumatic carrier 1 is suitable for suitable conditions in which pressure forces act only in one direction on the carrier 1. For example, this essentially applies to a bridge girder on which the weight of the dead weight of the bridge and the payload is exercised.
  • Push rod 3 and tension element 4 lie in the plane of action of the load vector, which acts on the push rod 3 and points in the direction of tension element 4.
  • the hollow body 2 prevents buckling of the pressure rod 3, whereby the material of the pressure rod 3 can be loaded to the flow limit. This is at a much higher power than the buckling load of a rod.
  • the hollow body 2 separates the push rod 3 and the tension element 4 spatially from each other.
  • Such a construction is characterized by low material consumption and low weight with high load capacity.
  • Fig. La shows a side view
  • Fig. 1b shows the section AA.
  • Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of a pneumatic carrier 1, as it can be used for example for roof structures.
  • a pneumatic carrier 1 In strong wind strong suction forces can be exerted on areas of a roof, which more than compensate for the load forces in the vertical direction. This leads to a reversal of the force effect in the carrier 1 used in this way.
  • the underlying exclusive traction element 4 of Figure 1 has been replaced by a pressure / tension element 5; an element that can absorb both compressive and tensile forces.
  • the simplest and most common case of a pressure / tension element 5 is a second pressure rod 3.
  • such a rod can be made of steel or aluminum, since these materials have similarly good tensile and compression properties.
  • two pressure / tension elements 5 surround the hollow body 2 along two diametrically opposite generatrices.
  • the pressure / tension elements 5 are in turn attached to the generatrix to prevent buckling under load.
  • the pressure / tension elements 5 are at their En- connected to each other and serve depending on the load direction as a tensile or as a pressure element. It is included in the concept of the invention that the two pressure / tension elements 5 in their properties as a pressure resp. Can distinguish tension element.
  • the pressure / tension elements 5 can be chosen so that the upper resisting greater compressive forces than the lower.
  • Fig. 2a shows a side view and Fig. 2b shows the section BB.
  • FIG. 3 shows a third exemplary embodiment of the inventive concept.
  • the beams 1 are loaded substantially in the vertical plane.
  • the transverse forces essentially no longer occur exclusively in one plane, but can act on the carrier from all sides to a similar extent, such as wind forces.
  • FIG. 3 has three pressure / tension elements 5, which are uniformly distributed around the cross section of the hollow body 2 and in turn are fastened to the same along generatrices and are frictionally connected to one another at their ends.
  • an axial load also acts on it.
  • Embodiments with more than three pressure / tension elements 5 distributed around the hollow body 2 are included in the concept of the invention.
  • FIG. 3a shows an isometry
  • FIG. 3b shows the cross section CG.
  • Fig. 4 it is shown how a complete carrier 1 with emptied hollow body 2, for example, can be rolled up small for transport or storage, when the pressure / tension elements 5 are made of flexible material.
  • Fig. 4 it is shown how a complete carrier 1 with emptied hollow body 2, for example, can be rolled up small for transport or storage, when the pressure / tension elements 5 are made of flexible material.
  • FIG. 4a shows the carrier 1 rolled up with emptied hollow body 2, and in Fig. 4b of the ready-to-use carrier 1 is shown with pressurized hollow body 2 on a reduced scale.
  • Carrier 1 with emptied hollow bodies 2 and flexurally elastic pressure / tension elements 5 or pressure rods 3 can also be folded, for example in S-shaped strokes.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show various possibilities for the connection of the pressure / tension elements 5 at the ends of the carrier 1.
  • the pressure / tension elements 5 open into a closure piece 9, which may comprise, for example, the end of the hollow body 2.
  • an axle 8 are attached to insert the carrier in a construction composite; or the end piece 9 may be formed so that it can be placed directly on a camp.
  • the ends of the pressure / tension elements 5 are connected by means of an axle 8.
  • FIG. 7 shows an advantageous exemplary embodiment of a pressure / tension element 5, which has a broader cross section and thus a higher flexural rigidity towards the ends.
  • This design of the pressure / tension element 5 takes into account the fact that the pressure / tension elements 5 must absorb higher bending moments at the ends of the carrier 1 than in the middle of the carrier 1.
  • the greater bending stiffness of the pressure / tension elements 5 reached towards their ends with a higher cross section.
  • FIG. 8-10 show various embodiments of the hollow body 2.
