Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connection adapter for forming a coaxial connection of two mast sections of a mast assembly.
  • Steel or aluminum tube masts are known from the prior art and are used, for example, as a carrier for lighting objects use.
  • these masts are made by welding individual mast sections. This is associated with an adverse weakening of the material structure of the masts. Usually, the welding takes place in the factory, so that a complex and expensive transport of the finished masts to the installation site is required.
  • An object of the present invention is to significantly reduce the assembly cost of a mast assembly over this known solution.
  • connection adapter according to claim 1 and a mast assembly according to claim 16. Thereafter, it is provided that at least one frictional connection between the connection adapter and a mast section is formed.
  • connection adapter and mast section are held frictionally in their mutual position by friction.
  • a non-positive, secure hold of the mast section on the connection adapter is thus already achieved by connecting the two workpieces without separate securing means, such as adhesive, rivets, screws without a weld must be used.
  • securing means such as adhesive, rivets, screws without a weld must be used.
  • the use of such an additional securing means is no longer necessary and can therefore be omitted. Even without a securing means the removal of a mast section is no longer possible.
  • a fitting connection between the mast sections is such that a position correction during or after the connection process is not required.
  • a mast 1 is shown, which is anchored by means of a foundation 2 in the bottom 3.
  • the mast 1 may have at its upper end 4 a boom for a lighting object or the like (not shown).
  • Typical dimensions of such a mast 1 are in Fig. 1 specified.
  • the mast 1 is designed as a mast assembly and includes an upper mast section 5 and anchored in the bottom 3 lower mast section 6.
  • the upper mast section 5 is connected to the lower mast section 6 coaxially in a connection region 7 by means of a connection adapter 8.
  • Both mast sections 5, 6 are made of steel. However, instead of steel, aluminum or another material may be used. Both mast sections 5, 6 are formed as tubes with circular cross-sections and substantially constant diameters, wherein the outer diameter of the upper mast section 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the lower mast section 6. However, other tube sections are possible, for example, triangular, square or polygonal or oval.
  • the lower mast section 6 has below the connection region 7 a closable with a lid opening 9, behind which is located in the interior of the lower mast section 6, an electrical connection device, such as a cable junction box or the like (not shown).
  • the lower mast section 6 has a continuous cable hole 11 in the region of the lower mast end 10.
  • connection region 7 of the mast assembly and the connection adapter 8 used to form the coaxial connection of the two mast sections 5, 6 is enlarged in FIG Fig. 2 displayed.
  • the connecting adapter 8 consists essentially of a base body 12.
  • the main body 12 has substantially the shape of a hollow cylinder, more precisely a straight circular cylinder. However, other basic body shapes are possible, these being adapted to the cross sections of the mast sections 5, 6.
  • the connection adapter 8 has at the ends 13, 14 of the base body 12 in each case an axial stop 15, 16. The stop 15 on the pointing in the direction of the first mast section 5 base body end 13 protrudes radially outward, while at the opposite, pointing in the direction of the second mast section 6 base end 14 stop 16 projects radially inwardly.
  • the inner circumferential surface 17 of the main body 12 is formed as a first connecting surface such that the base body 12 in the assembled state, the connecting end 18 of the first mast section 5 encloses.
  • the first mast section 5 is located in a receiving opening 19 of the connection adapter 8.
  • the connecting end 18 of the first mast section 5 is supported on the radially inwardly projecting stop 16 of the connection adapter 8.
  • the outer circumferential surface 20 of the base body 12 is formed as a second connection surface.
  • the second mast section 6 has an opening 21 for receiving the connection adapter 8. Between the outer circumferential surface 20 and the connecting end 22 of the second mast section 6 there is a frictional connection in the mounted state. This is preferably formed as a press fit, wherein the connecting end 22 of the second mast section 6, the base body 8 of the connection adapter 8 wrapped non-positively. In other words, the second mast section 6 a kind of fitting hole, while the connection adapter 8 serves as a fitting pin.
  • connection adapter 12 For mounting the mast assembly, the connection adapter 12 is first connected to the connection end 18 of the first mast section 5 in the manner described in more detail below. Subsequently, the first mast section 5 carrying the connection adapter 12 is connected to the second mast section 6. To be particularly advantageous, it has been found that one of the two mast sections is fixed, while the other mast section, for example by means of a pulling device, axially to the other mast section is moved to such that the two mast sections are attached to each other in the axial direction 23. For example, the first mast section 5 provided with the connection adapter 12 is pushed onto the fixed second mast section 6 in the axial direction 23. An exact alignment of the two mast sections 5, 6 on each other is not required for the joining process.
  • the joining of the two mast sections 5, 6 can be done in a simple manner not only in the factory (stationary production), but also directly on site on the site (mobile production), without the need for complex mounting devices are required. Only a device for fixing a mast section and for moving the other mast section are required. For example, this device may be on a separate Assembly vehicle be kept or already integrated in the delivery vehicle.
  • the outer diameter 25 of the base body 12 of the connecting adapter 8 on the one hand and the inner diameter 26 of the second mast section 6 on the other hand are matched to one another, that results in an adhesion of the proposed interference fit between these two workpieces.
  • the fixed to the first mast section 5 connection adapter 8 and the second mast section 6 are frictionally held in their mutual position by friction, wherein the friction is generated by a voltage that is due to an occurring during joining elastic deformation.
  • the elastic deformation according to the invention occurs exclusively in the connection adapter 8, while the second mast section 6 remains substantially undeformed. As a result, damage to the material structure of the second mast section 6 is avoided. A transfer of the shape or structure of the connection adapter 8 to the second mast section 6 by the joining process does not take place.
  • Inner and outer diameter of the base body 12 of the connection adapter 8 are - apart from the stops 15, 16 - preferably constant over the entire base length 27, wherein at a complete overlap of the axial positions of the connecting surfaces 17, 20, the in Fig. 2 displayed image results.
  • the first mast section 5 ensures a secure and invariable position of the connection adapter 8 due to its dimensional stability during the joining process
  • the invention does not necessarily have to be about the inner and outer lateral surface of the basic body 12 in the case of the connecting surfaces. It is therefore also possible to provide the connecting surfaces 17, 20 so that they only partially overlap (not shown).
  • connection adapter 8 is only positively connected to the connection end 18 of the first mast section 5, the overlap width corresponding to the press length must be selected large enough to ensure a secure interference fit.
  • the intended pressing length preferably corresponds to at least 1.5 times the outer diameter 25 of the base body 12. It is particularly advantageous if the pressing length is 1.5 to 2 times the diameter.
  • the basic body length 27 corresponds to the pressing length, so that the entire basic body 12 is utilized for the interference fit.
  • connection adapter 8 is made of an elastically deformable material to provide the deformation stress required for the interference fit.
  • connection adapter 8 is made of a plastic material which has these properties.
  • electrically insulating plastic ensures electrical insulation of the first mast section 5 relative to the second mast section 6. This is particularly advantageous when one of the mast sections 5, 6 due to external influences or due to other causes, such as a dissolved cable connection, current.
  • the mast 1 may consist of a lower mast section 6 made of steel and an upper mast section 5 made of stainless steel or a lower mast section 6 made of stainless steel and an upper mast section 5 made of aluminum.
  • the main body 12 preferably consists of two identical and interconnectable half-shell-shaped base body elements 28, cf. in the Fig. 3 and 4 illustrated first embodiment of the invention.
  • the base body elements 28 in the assembled state comprise the connecting end 18 of the first mast section 5 in the manner of a sleeve, cf. Fig. 5 (also first embodiment).
  • the connecting elements may be plug-in, latching or snap-action elements.
  • the base body elements 28 have plugs 29 and corresponding plug openings 30 in the region of the stops 15, 16.
  • the connecting elements preferably ensure a tight abutment of the two basic body elements 28 in such a way that the penetration of water through the connecting region 7 into the interior of the connecting adapter 8 and thus into the interior of the second mast section 6 is avoided.
  • a second embodiment is also described below ( Fig. 6 . 7 and 8th ).
  • the interference fit is carried out by an elastic deformation of the connection adapter 8, more precisely by an elastic deformation of serving as a mating surface second connection surface 20, so the outer surface of the base body 12.
  • this with a number of spaced and transverse to the axial direction 23 extending Holding webs 31 provided, which are preferably integrally formed on the base body 12, for example, injection-molded by means of a plastic injection molding process.
  • the first connection surface 17 of the main body 12, that is to say its inner lateral surface, can also be provided with a number of holding webs 32.
  • the number, shape and position of the retaining webs 31, 32 on the inner and / or outer lateral surfaces 17, 20 can be selected according to the requirements of the press fit depending on the load of the mast assembly by wind and other external influences.
  • the base body 12 of the connection adapter 8 at its first and / or second connection surface 17, 20 a number of spaced-apart and extending in the axial direction 23 axial webs.
  • This Axialstege can be used instead of the holding webs 31, 32 for forming a Preßpruditati, wherein the Axialstege deform itself elastic.
  • the base body 12 of the connection adapter 8 on such axial webs 36.
  • the web edges 37 of the axial webs 36 are significantly rounded in such a way that during the joining process, no deformation of the mast material and the material structure of the second mast section 6 is not adversely affected.
  • holding webs 31 are provided.
  • the holding webs 31, which elastically deform during the joining of the workpieces to form the press fit, are in this embodiment on the tops 38 of the then substantially rigid or only slightly elastic axial webs 36.
  • the tops 38 of the axial webs 36 define with In other words, in this case, the second connection surface 20 and thus the outer surface of the base body 12th
  • axial webs 39 can additionally be provided on the second connecting surface 17, that is to say the inner surface of the base body 12, and optionally there form a further press fit with the first mast section 5.
  • a rectangular recess 40 is provided in the radially inwardly facing stop 16 of the base body 12. This is used to attach a bar-shaped holding device 41 for an electrical connection device.
  • the holding device 41 is provided at its attachment end with a hook 42 and engages in the mounted state, the inside 43 of the stopper 16, see. Fig. 7 and 8th ,
