Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection between at least two components, in particular a truck, trailer and / or semitrailer, with a connecting element, wherein the one component is a metallic base body with an opening, wherein the other component is an attachment with also an opening, wherein a Connecting pin of the connecting element passes through the opening of the attachment, wherein on the side facing away from the base body of the opening of the attachment, the connecting element has a connecting head and wherein the connecting head by its size prevents removal of the attachment from the connecting pin.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object, the compound of the type mentioned in such a way and further, that the connection is as simple and quick to produce.
  • the aforementioned object is achieved according to the invention in a closed structure according to the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that the connecting element is integrally formed and that the connecting pin at least partially inserted into the opening of the body and is held directly in the opening of the body.
  • the invention has recognized that the assembly can be accelerated and simplified by the use of a connector, since no special tools for mounting are needed.
  • the connecting element does not have to be screwed into a previously cut thread, as is the case with screw connections, nor must the connection be secured from the back of the base body with a split pin. Also can be dispensed with the cumbersome insertion of a rivet and the subsequent attachment of the rivet.
  • the connecting element is simply plugged in, without further work steps must be provided. So it is not about a connection created in the manner of a dowel, in which after the actual introduction of the Connecting element still a spreading of the connecting element must be ensured.
  • insertion is understood here quite generally the insertion by hand without an additional tool or the impact, Einschdusen and / or impressions using a corresponding tool.
  • connection does not first have to be created by assembling the actual connecting element of several individual parts.
  • the connecting pin is held in the opening of the base body.
  • a counter or the like of the back of the body is thus dispensable, as well as the creation of a through opening.
  • a basic body with a blind opening or preferably a blind bore would be perfectly adequate.
  • the opening may, if necessary, also be formed as a passage opening.
  • the main body and the attachment are preferably part of a truck, trailer and / or trailer, in particular of an open or closed structure of a truck, trailer and / or trailer.
  • connection In a first embodiment of the connection can be provided that the main body is a door of a closed structure of a truck, a trailer and / or a trailer and the attachment is a hinge.
  • the main body is a door of a closed structure of a truck, a trailer and / or a trailer and the attachment is a hinge.
  • Such a connection is preferred because it is easy and quick to assemble and in any case can partially absorb the high forces to hold the door on the hinge anyway.
  • connection head can be held alternatively or additionally against rotation on, preferably in, attachment. This ensures a predetermined orientation of the connection head, which can be about permanent information for a user.
  • a rotational movement thereof preferably both in one direction and in the other direction.
  • the attachment preferably has a recess for at least partially receiving the connection head.
  • connection can also provide a duty-proof closure, for example between the hinge and the door of a closed structure.
  • a duty-proof closure for example between the hinge and the door of a closed structure.
  • the hinges are fastened with commercially available screws to the doors, for example, at least one screw head is arranged in an elongated recess of a hinge.
  • a likewise elongated steel plate corresponding to the inner contour of the recess is placed on the screw head and welded to the screw head via a small through-hole in the steel plate.
  • the steel plate lies in the recess of the hinge in such a way that the screw connected to the steel plate can not be unscrewed out of the door without the steel plate being torn off from the screw head or being noticeably damaged.
  • a manipulation of the hinge would therefore reveal a damage of the steel plate or require a high expenditure of time and equipment for the restoration of the original state, as to do so, after the opening of the hinge again a steel plate must be welded to the corresponding screw head. Both unjustifiably safe from an opening of the duty-locked structure from.
  • the connecting element Due to the one-piece nature of the connecting element, it is possible to dispense with the welding process known from the prior art which on the one hand leads to an acceleration of the assembly and on the other hand to avoid structural changes and damage to the surface protection as a result of elevated temperatures. At the same time, however, the connecting element can no longer be screwed to a door of the structure due to its one-piece nature, as is known from the prior art.
  • connection head serves the customs to determine whether the connection is undamaged.
  • connection a rotationally secure arrangement of the connecting head on the attachment, in particular on the hinge, is ensured in a simpler manner by virtue of the fact that the connecting head has a non-rotationally symmetrical outer contour.
  • the connecting head has a substantially elongated, preferably oval outer contour.
  • other elongated embodiments of the connecting head can be provided.
  • a non-rotationally symmetrical outer contour can be found in this Connection also for connecting heads with star-shaped and rectangular cross sections or the like result.
  • connection head is provided in a recess of the attachment and the inner contour of this recess substantially or at least partially corresponds with the outer contour of the connection head.
  • the attachment it can be ensured in a simple manner that a rotation of the connecting head is prevented, regardless of the direction of rotation.
  • the attachment it would also be conceivable for the attachment to have an abutment surface against which the connecting head of the connecting element strikes during the rotation thereof.
  • the attachment or the hinge on two abutment surfaces so that the connecting element abuts in both directions of rotation on the attachment.
  • connection is alternatively or additionally provided that the outer, remote from the connecting pin end of the connecting head embedded at least flush in the recess of the fixture, preferably recessed in the recess of the fixture is. In this way it is ensured that can no longer be easily attacked with a tool on the connection head after assembly of the connecting element, so that unauthorized withdrawal of the connecting element is avoided. This is particularly advantageous in connection with a bonded closure of a closed structure.
  • the connecting element is preferably non-positively, positively, frictionally and / or cohesively held in the opening of the body. In this way it is possible to introduce the connecting element, in particular the connecting pin, in the opening of the base body, without the connecting pin would have to be rotated about its own axis. The connecting element can therefore be inserted and / or driven in easily and quickly, which considerably shortens the necessary assembly time.
  • the connecting pin has a knurling for connecting the connecting element to the opening of the main body.
  • This knurling allows, for example, on the one hand, the turning of the connecting element in the body without a rotation of the connecting element and at the same time the firm non-positive and possibly positive fixing of the connecting pin in the attachment, which is particularly advantageous for the connection between the hinge and door of the closed structure. Therefore, the connecting element can not be easily removed again.
  • the knurling could also be designed such that the connecting pin is held only frictionally in the door, but lower extraction forces can be realized. Also in this case, the connection can not be solved easily again.
  • the knurling of the connecting pin serves for firmly gluing the connecting element in the base body.
  • the knurling can be designed differently. In any case, however, the knurling has at least one projection and thus differs from the substantially smooth remainder of the connecting pin.
  • the knurling has a plurality of ribs spaced from each other in the longitudinal extent of the connecting pin. Such ribs withstand high pull-out forces. If this is sufficient in terms of pull-out forces, only a single rib can be provided.
  • the ribs each extend in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the connecting pin or in a plane approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the connecting pin, particularly high pull-out forces can be absorbed by the connection.
  • the described arrangement of the ribs also allows embracing the ribs through the body after the introduction of the connecting element, so that in this way a positive connection and / or a frictional connection can be established.
  • the flanks of the individual ribs may have different inclinations.
  • the inclination of the free end of the connecting pin facing edge of the ribs is flatter than the inclination of the connecting head facing flanks of the ribs.
  • the flanks are chamfered towards the free end of the connecting pin.
  • the remaining flanks extend On the other hand, preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the connecting pin or even inclined to the connection head. The ribs ultimately form a series of barbs.
  • the door in particular a special fitting of the door, introduced.
  • the connecting head milled out and the connecting pin forcibly knocked out of the body for example, knocked into the closed structure.
  • the door could be opened and then closed by introducing a new connection element such that the interim opening is no longer readily recognizable.
  • the connecting element can also be positioned in a blind hole without increased expenditure of force, at least one flow channel for the escape of the atmosphere displaced by the connecting pin from the blind hole can be provided between the connecting pin and the blind hole.
  • the ribs have at least one recess or interruption along the circumference of the connecting pin. This will not cause the ribs a shutter of the blind hole against the compressed atmosphere within the blind hole. Instead, the compressed atmosphere may escape through the recesses or breaks in the fins, more or less along a flow channel formed in this manner.
  • Fig. 1 is a truck L with a trailer A, a so-called trailer, shown, which carries a closed structure 1 in the form of a box body.
  • this could also be a semi-trailer in the form of a bunk.
  • platforms have in Contrary to the illustrated box body no fixed side walls, but only plan on. Also flatbeds have, if necessary, rear doors, which are fastened by hinges to a rear wall frame.
  • a semitrailer if one is also generally preferred, is to be regarded as exemplary.
  • a structure of a trailer could alternatively be the construction of a truck or a conventional trailer.
  • the illustrated and so far preferred closed structure 1 has a roof panel 2, two side wall panels 3, a not shown in detail floor panel and a door 4 having the rear wall 5.
  • the doors 4 of the rear wall 5 are fixed by means of hinges 6 to a rear wall frame 7, which may be formed in part by the side wall panels 3.
  • a hinge 6 comprehensive detail II is in the Fig. 2 shown enlarged.
  • the hinge 6 is fastened via a corresponding suspension to the rear wall frame 7 or the side wall panel 3.
  • the other half of the hinge 6 is connected by two screws 8 with the door 4, wherein the screws 8 have round screw heads, which are embedded in corresponding circular recesses 9 of the hinge 6.
  • a connecting element 10 is arranged, which also connects the hinge 6 fixed to the door 4.
  • the connecting head 11 of the connecting element 10 is received in a corresponding recess 12 of the hinge 6.
  • the connecting head 11 of the connecting element 10 is elongated, namely oval, formed.
  • the connecting head 11 of the connecting element 10 is arranged in a corresponding, that is oval, recess 12, the connecting head 11 and thus the entire connecting element 10 is fixed against rotation in the hinge 6.
  • the connecting element 10 can be readily recognized from the outside as a customs safeguard and thus distinguished from the usual screwed connections.
  • the connecting element 10 is also formed in one piece, in particular machined out of a blank by machining.
  • connecting head 11 has no special surfaces for engaging a screwing. Corresponding surfaces are not required because the connecting element 10 is inserted or wrapped in the hinge 6 and not screwed.
  • the way in which the door 4 is connected to the hinge via the connecting element 10 is particularly in the Fig. 3 shown.
  • the Fig. 3 shows a horizontal section at the level of the connecting element 10 by in the Fig. 2 shown part of the back wall 5.
  • the in the Fig. 3 illustrated and so far preferred door 4 has an outer fitting element 13 which bears against the hinge 6.
  • the fitting element 13 serves for the local stiffening of the door 4 and has a blind hole 14 in the form of a blind bore into which the connecting element 10 is inserted.
  • the illustrated and so far preferred connecting element 10 has a cross-sectional widening on which the connecting element 10 is supported relative to the hinge 6 and the hinge 6 so permanently in contact with the fitting element 13 of the door 4 holds.
  • connection An unintentional disconnection of the connection is achieved by the provided at the free end of the connecting pin 15 knurling 16 which engages positively in the fitting element 13 of the door 4. Even if in the illustrated preferred embodiment, the connecting head 11 of the connecting element 10 would be milled off, the remaining connecting pin 15 could not be easily pushed or pushed into the interior of the box body by the rear wall 5, since the free end of the connecting pin 15th of the connecting element 10 in the blind hole 14 of the fitting element 13 of the door 4 is arranged.
  • connecting element 10 is enlarged in the Fig. 4 shown.
  • the connecting head 11 of the connecting element 10 is slightly inclined with respect to the longitudinal extent of the connecting pin 15. This inclination of the connecting head 11 with respect to the connecting pin 15 can be varied in other areas, without affecting the functionality of the connecting element 10 in connection with the hinge 6.
  • the knurling 16 in the region of the free end of the connecting pin 15 is formed by a plurality of parallel ribs 17, each in a plane substantially perpendicular to Longitudinal extent of the connecting pin 15 are arranged circumferentially.
  • connection between the fitting element 13 and the connecting element 10 can therefore absorb very high pull-out forces.
  • the ribs 17 of the illustrated and so far preferred connecting element 10 each have four interruptions 20 on its circumference, wherein the interruptions 20 of the ribs 17 are aligned in each case in the longitudinal extension of the connecting pin 15.
  • interruptions 20 which may alternatively be formed as recesses and not aligned, resulting between the connecting element 10 and the fitting element 13 of the door 4, a flow channel 21, compressed by the insertion of the connecting pin 15 in the blind hole 14 and displaced Atmosphere, especially air, can escape to the outside.
  • this flow channel 21 can form no appreciable overpressure within the blind hole 14, which would adversely affect the forces required for the introduction of the connecting element 10.
  • Such a flow channel 21 is exemplary in the Fig. 3 shown.
  • each individual rib 17 four interruptions 20.
  • All four interruptions 20 of each rib 17 are aligned one behind the other in the longitudinal extent of the connecting pin 15. Although this is not absolutely necessary, but allows a quick and safe venting of the blind hole 14 during insertion of the connecting pin 15.
  • the connecting head 11 with an oval contour in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the connecting pin 15 is shown.
