Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Steckverbinder mit U- oder kastenförmigem Querschnitt, der als Gerad-, Winkel-, Eck- oder Kreuzungsverbinder ausgebildet ist, für Abstandhalterhohlprofile für Isolierglasscheiben mit einem Bodenteil und zwei Längsseitenkanten, die als vom Boden aufragende Schenkel ausgebildet sein können, wobei das Bodenteil zusammen mit den Längsseitenkanten den Körper des Verbinders bildet, wobei an den Längsseitenkanten nach außen ragende, vorzugsweise elastisch verformbare Lamellen für jeden Einsteckabschnitt angeordnet sind, die geneigt oder gebogen ausgeführt sein können, wobei die Neigung oder Biegung in Einsteckrichtung nach hinten ausgebildet sein kann, wobei der Steckverbinder in seinem Anschlagbereich für die Abstandhalterhohlprofile, damit vorzugsweise in seinem mittleren Bereich seiner Längserstreckung eine Dichteinrichtung zum Abdichten gegenüber dem Abstandhalterhohlprofil aufweist.The invention relates to a connector with U- or box-shaped cross section, which is designed as a straight, angled, corner or crossing connector, for spacer hollow sections for insulating glass with a bottom part and two longitudinal side edges, which may be formed as upstanding leg, wherein the bottom part together with the longitudinal side edges forms the body of the connector, wherein on the longitudinal side edges outwardly projecting, preferably elastically deformable lamellae are arranged for each male portion, which can be made inclined or bent, wherein the inclination or bending are formed in the insertion direction to the rear can, wherein the connector has in its stop region for the spacer hollow profiles, thus preferably in its central region of its longitudinal extent a sealing means for sealing against the spacer hollow profile.
Es sind viele verschiedene Steckverbinder dieses Typs bekannt. Auch sind Steckverbinder bekannt, die nach der Montage im Bereich der Stoßstellen der Abstandhalterhohlprofile eine wenigstens weitgehende Gasdichtigkeit bieten.Many different connectors of this type are known. Connectors are also known, which provide an at least extensive gas tightness after assembly in the region of the joints of the spacer hollow profiles.
Diese Gasdichtigkeit wird durch weiche Dichtmassen, die in der Regel aus Butyl bestehen, erzeugt.This gas-tightness is produced by soft sealants, which are usually made of butyl.
Diese Dichtmassen sind jedoch empfindlich gegenüber Verschmutzungen und neigen selbst dazu, die Umgegend zu verunreinigen und zu verkleben.However, these sealants are sensitive to contamination and even tend to contaminate the area and stick together.
Aus diesem Grund müssen die Butylmassen entweder erst direkt bei Verarbeitung der Verbinder auf diese aufgebracht werden oder aber es muss ein Abdeckstreifen vorgesehen sein, der die Butylmasse auf vorgefertigten Steckverbinder abdeckt und so schützt.For this reason, the Butylmassen must either be applied directly to the processing of the connectors on this or it must be provided a cover strip, which covers the butyl compound on prefabricated connector and protects it.
Beide Varianten sorgen jedoch für eine schlechte Handhabbarkeit und verhindern ein Vorstecken der Steckverbinder in Abstandhalterhohlprofile.However, both variants ensure poor handling and prevent plugging the connector into spacer hollow profiles.
Aus der
Dies ist jedoch bei erwünschter Gasdichtigkeit nicht vollständig zufriedenstellend. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Verbinder vorzuschlagen, der eine wenigstens weitgehende Gasdichtigkeit an den Abstandhalterhohlprofilen aufweist und die vorgenannten Nachteile der bekannten Verbinder nicht aufweist, sowie vorsteckbar ist. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Dichteinrichtung als Anschlagdichtung ausgebildet ist und den Steckverbinder wenigstens teilweise umgreift, und längsverschiebbar auf dem Steckverbinder gelagert ist.However, this is not completely satisfactory with the desired gas tightness. The object of the invention is to propose a connector which has an at least largely gas-tightness on the spacer hollow profiles and does not have the aforementioned disadvantages of the known connector, as well as vorsteckbar. This object is achieved in that the sealing device is designed as a stopper seal and the connector at least partially surrounds, and is mounted longitudinally displaceable on the connector.
Hierdurch wird die Stoßstelle des Abstandhalterhohlprofiles abgedichtet. Durch einfaches Anstoßen des Hohlprofiles wird die Dichtwirkung an den wesentlichen Stellen erzeugt. Durch die Längsverschiebbarkeit wird die Mittenfindung durch die Dichteinrichtung nicht behindert. Die Dichteinrichtung wird automatisch an der richtigen Position ausgerichtet.As a result, the joint of the spacer hollow profile is sealed. By simply abutment of the hollow profile, the sealing effect is generated at the essential points. Due to the longitudinal displacement, the center finding is not hindered by the sealing device. The sealing device is automatically aligned in the correct position.
Eine weitere sehr vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt vor, wenn die Dichteinrichtung wenigstens abschnittsweise keilförmig ausgebildet ist.Another very advantageous embodiment of the invention is when the sealing device is at least partially wedge-shaped.
Damit wird eine nochmals verbesserte Abdichtung erzielt. Zudem ist die Abdichtung größtenteils unempfindlich gegenüber nicht vollständig aufgeschobenen Abstandhalterhohlprofilen.This achieves a further improved sealing. In addition, the seal is largely insensitive to not fully deferred spacer hollow profiles.
Erfindungsgemäß hat es sich auch als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Dichteinrichtung einen Anschlag für das Hohlprofil aufweist.According to the invention, it has also proven to be very advantageous if the sealing device has a stop for the hollow profile.
Damit wird die Einstecklänge des Steckverbinders in das Hohlprofil begrenzt und zudem sichergestellt, daß das Hohlprofilende immer im Bereich der Abdichteinrichtung zu liegen kommt.Thus, the insertion length of the connector is limited in the hollow profile and also ensures that the hollow profile end always comes to rest in the region of the sealing device.
Äußerst vorteilhaft ist es gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung auch, wenn die Dichteinrichtung mindestens an einer Kante eine Dichtlippe aufweist, die das Hohlprofil zum umgreifen vermag.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is also extremely advantageous if the sealing device has a sealing lip at least at one edge, which is capable of embracing the hollow profile.
Hiermit wird eine nochmals verbesserte Abdichtung erzielt. Die Stoßkante des Abstandhalterhohlprofils wird überdeckt.Hereby, a further improved sealing is achieved. The abutting edge of the spacer hollow profile is covered.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es auch sehr vorteilhaft, wenn die Dichteinrichtung im Bereich eines Einsteckanschlages des Steckverbinders angeordnet ist.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is also very advantageous if the sealing device is arranged in the region of a Einsteckanschlag the connector.
Hierdurch wird auch die Lage des Steckverbinders relativ zu den Stoßkanten des Abstandhalterhohlprofiles festgelegt.As a result, the position of the connector is set relative to the abutting edges of the spacer hollow profile.
Eine weitere sehr vorteilhafte Fortbildung der Erfindung ist auch darin zu sehen, daß die Einsteckanschläge im Bereich der Mitte der Längserstreckung des Verbinders angeordnet sind, wobei die Anschläge an den Außenseiten der Seitenstege vorgesehen sein können.Another very advantageous development of the invention is also to be seen in the fact that the plug-in stops are arranged in the region of the middle of the longitudinal extension of the connector, wherein the stops can be provided on the outer sides of the side webs.
Damit wird ein besonders sicherer Einsteckanschlag geschaffen und ein leichtes und gleichmäßiges Vorstecken der Steckverbinder sichergestellt.This creates a particularly secure insertion stop and ensures easy and even plugging of the connectors.
Weiterhin hat es sich als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn eine Halte- und/oder Stützeinrichtung für die Dichteinrichtung vorgesehen ist.Furthermore, it has proven to be very advantageous if a holding and / or support means is provided for the sealing device.
Dadurch wird ein Ausweichen der Dichteinrichtung vermieden und eine gute Abdichtung sichergestellt.As a result, avoidance of the sealing device is avoided and ensures a good seal.
Erfindungsgemäß ist es auch sehr vorteilhaft, wenn die Dichteinrichtung aus einem elastischen Material, insbesondere aus einem Gummi oder gummiähnlichem Material hergestellt ist.According to the invention it is also very advantageous if the sealing device is made of an elastic material, in particular of a rubber or rubber-like material.
Durch die Verwendung eines elastischen Materials wird ebenfalls eine sehr gute Abdichtung erzeugt. EPDM oder dergleichen hat sich als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen.The use of an elastic material also produces a very good seal. EPDM or the like has proven to be very advantageous.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es auch sehr vorteilhaft, wenn wenigstens annähernd im Bereich der Längsseitenkanten aufragende Halte- und Ausgleichselemente angeordnet sind, die wenigstens annähernd senkrecht auf dem Boden stehen können, wobei eine Neigung entgegen der Einsteckrichtung vorgesehen sein kann und der Neigungswinkel zwischen 5 und 20°, vorzugsweise zwischen 5 und 10° betragen kann.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is also very advantageous if at least approximately in the region of the longitudinal side edges towering holding and Compensating elements are arranged, which may be at least approximately perpendicular to the ground, wherein an inclination opposite to the insertion direction may be provided and the inclination angle between 5 and 20 °, preferably between 5 and 10 ° may be.
Durch diese Halte- und Ausgleichselemente wird einerseits eine sehr gute Anpassung an Fertigungstoleranzen des Abstanhalterhohlprofils ermöglicht und andererseits ein sehr guter und fester Sitz im Hohlprofil sichergestellt.By this holding and compensating elements on the one hand a very good adaptation to manufacturing tolerances of Abstanhalterhohlprofils allows and on the other hand ensures a very good and tight fit in the hollow profile.
Eine äußerst vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung liegt auch dann vor, wenn für jedes aufgesteckte Hohlprofilende eine Dichteinrichtung vorgesehen ist.An extremely advantageous development of the invention is also present when a sealing device is provided for each plugged hollow profile end.
Damit müssen sich die Stoßkanten der Enden des Abstandhalterhohlprofiles nicht notwendigerweise treffen.Thus, the abutting edges of the ends of the spacer hollow profile need not necessarily meet.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand zweier Ausführungsbeispiele veranschaulicht.In the following the invention will be illustrated with reference to two embodiments.

Mit 1 ist in
An den Außenseiten der Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 sind nach außen weisende, in Einsteckrichtung nach hinten weisende Lamellen 5 vorgesehen, die sich in den Hohlprofilen zu verkeilen vermögen.On the outer sides of the
Im Bereich der Mitte des Verbinders 1 sind ebenfalls an den Außenseiten der Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 für jede Einsteckrichtung jeweils ein Mittenanschlag 6 vorgesehen, der die Einstecktiefe des Verbinders 1 in die Hohlprofile begrenzt.In the region of the center of the
Den Mittenanschlägen 6 ist jeweils ein Ausgleichselement 7 zugeordnet, das gegenüber den Mittenanschlägen 6 jeweils am anderen Längsseitensteg 3 und 4 vorgesehen ist.The
Das Ausgleichselement 7 ist elastisch federn ausgebildet und sorgt einerseits dafür, daß die Hohlprofile gegen die Mittenanschläge 6 stoßen. Andererseits werden etwaige Fertigungstoleranzen des Hohlprofils ausgeglichen. Ein Wackeln des Verbinders 1 im Hohlprofil wird vermieden.The compensating
Der Boden 2 weist in jeder Einsteckrichtung eine Durchbrechung 8 auf. Zusätzlich sind noch Vertiefungen 9 an der Außenseite des Bodens 2 vorgesehen. In diese Vertiefungen 9 und in die Durchbrechungen 8 hinein können die aufgesteckten Hohlprofile verstemmt werden, wodurch eine feste mechanische Verbindung geschaffen wird. Dies ist jedoch nur eine der vielfältigen Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeiten. Die Durchbrechungen 8 und Vertiefungen 9 sind ebenso wie das Verstemmen nicht zwingend vorzusehen.The
Im Bereich der Mittenanschläge 6 ist eine ringförmige Dichtung 10 angeordnet, die den Steckverbinder 1 umgreift. Diese Dichtung 10 vermag sich an den Vorderkanten der Abstandhalterhohlprofile abzustützen und dichtet die Stoßstelle so ab.In the region of the center stops 6, an
Um ein Ausweichen der Dichtung 10 zu verhindern kann zwischen den Längsseitenstegen 3 und 4 noch eine Stützstrebe 11 angebracht sein, die direkt unter der Dichtung 10 liegt und diese im Bereich der offenen Seite des Steckverbinders 1 unterstützt. Die Dichtung 10 kann so nicht mehr nach innen ausweichen.In order to prevent evasion of the
Es ist auch denkbar, daß, wie in
Die Dichtung 10 kann dabei, wie in
Andere geometrische Ausgestaltungen der Dichtung 10 sind denkbar. Vor allem ist es denkbar, daß die Dichtung 10 einen Schenkel aufweist, der auch wenigstens eine Außenseite des Abstandhalterhohlprofils von der Dichtung 10 umfasst wird.Other geometric configurations of the
Die Dichtung 10 kann aus einem Gummi oder gummiähnlichem Material gefertigt sein. Aber auch weiche Kunststoffe, die sich an das Abstandhalterhohlprofil anzuschmiegen vermögen und dagegen abdichten sind denkbar. Die Dichtung 10 kann als separates Teil gefertigt sein, welche über den Steckverbinder 1 geschoben wird. Auch kann die Dichtung 10 an den Steckverbinder 1 angespritzt werden.The
Bei einer über den Steckverbinder 1 geschobenen Dichtung kann diese auch beweglich auf dem Steckverbinder 1 gelagert sein, so daß sich die Dichtung 10 selbsttätig an die Stoßstelle zweier Abstandhalterhohlprofile anpasst.In a pushed over the
In diesem Zusammenhang ist es auch denkbar, daß die Dichtung 10 selbst einen Anschlag aufweist, der die Einstecktiefe des Steckverbinders 1 in ein Abstandhalterhohlprofil begrenzt.In this context, it is also conceivable that the
Durch die Vermeidung von klebrigen Butylmassen kann der gasdichte Steckverbinder auch sehr gut vorgesteckt werden, wodurch sich die Verarbeitungszeiten von Abstandhalterhohlprofilen deutlich verkürzen.By avoiding sticky butyl compounds, the gas-tight connector can also be plugged very well, which significantly reduces the processing times of spacer hollow profiles.
Zudem wird durch den Verzicht auf Butyl-Dichtungsmassen das Handling der Steckverbinder deutlich einfacher. Auf Abdeckfolien oder dergleichen kann völlig verzichtet werden, die nicht nur zusätzlichen Aufwand beim Aufbringen, sondern auch beim Verarbeiten der Steckverbinder bedeuten und zudem noch entsorgt werden müssen.In addition, dispensing with butyl sealants makes handling the connectors much easier. On cover sheets or the like can be completely dispensed with, which means not only additional effort when applying, but also during processing of the connector and also need to be disposed of.
Bei dieser Ausgestaltung des Steckverbinders 1 ist nicht nur eine gasdichte Ausführung, sondern auch ein ungehinderter Trocknungsmitteldurchlauf gewährleistet.In this embodiment of the
Es sind aber auch kastenförmige Steckverbinderausgestaltungen denkbar.But there are also box-shaped connector designs conceivable.
In
Auf jeder Seite des Eckstücks 52 ist jeweils eine Dichtung 10 vorgesehen, die jeweils für ein Hohlprofilende ausgerüstet ist.On each side of the
Andere Verbinderformen sind denkbar.Other connector forms are conceivable.
So können beispielsweise die Steckverbinder auch mit Ausgleichs- und Halteelementen ausgerüstet sein, die vom Boden 2 aufragen und dabei wenigstens im Bereich der Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 angeordnet sein können.Thus, for example, the connectors can also be equipped with compensating and holding elements, which rise from the
Der erfindungesgemäße Verbinder 1 lässt sich universell verwenden. Einerseits kann er als Steckverbinder für Hohlprofile ohne besondere Anforderungen eingesetzt werden. Hierzu wird er einfach in die Hohlprofile eingesteckt. Durch die Dichtung 10 wird der Austritt von Trocknungsmittel wirksam verhindert.The
Zusätzlich kann eine Verstemmung in die Durchbrechungen 8 und Vertiefungen 9 erfolgen, wodurch eine festere mechanische Verbindung geschaffen wird.In addition, a caulking in the
Schlußendlich kann der Steckverbinder für gasdichte Verbindungen eingesetzt werden.Finally, the connector can be used for gas-tight connections.
Durch die anschließende Verklebung der Scheiben mit Butyl werden diese Verbindungen auch langfristig gasdicht sein.As a result of the subsequent bonding of the panes with butyl, these compounds will also be gas-tight in the long term.
Zudem lassen sich bei allen Anwendungen die Steckverbinder im Gegensatz zu bekannten gasdichten Steckverbindern vorstecken. Das bedeutet, daß vorkonfektionierte Hohlprofile mit Steckverbindern versehen werden und diese dann zu den Weiterverarbeitern geliefert werden. Dies wird durch die Klemmung des Steckverbinders in den Hohlprofilen mit seinen Lamellen 5 ermöglicht.In addition, in all applications, the connectors can be plugged in, in contrast to known gastight connectors. This means that prefabricated hollow sections are provided with connectors and these are then delivered to the processors. This is made possible by the clamping of the connector in the hollow sections with its
