Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Eckverbindung eines aus einzelnen miteinander verbundenen Metallrohren bestehenden Rahmens, insbesondere eines beidseitig einer Brandschutzscheibe angeordneten Türrahmens einer Brandschutztür.The invention relates to a corner connection of a frame consisting of individual interconnected metal pipes, in particular a door frame of a fire protection door arranged on both sides of a fire protection window.

Metallrohre zur Verwendung als statisches Element mit erhöhter Steifigkeit werden insbesondere mit rechteckigen Querschnitten hergestellt. Für die verschiedensten Anwendungsfälle ist es erforderlich, einzelne Rohre miteinander zu verbinden. Als Verbindungsmittel werden einerseits beispielsweise Schrauben, Nieten, Flansche oder Muffen benutzt und andererseits Schweiß- oder Lötverbindungen hergestellt. Insbesondere bei aus Edelstahlrohren hergestellten Rahmen einer Brandschutztür, die das erhebliche Gewicht einer Brandschutzscheibe tragen müssen und hohen Sicherheitsanforderungen im Brandfall genügen müssen, werden Schweißverbindungen bevorzugt. Da derartige Türrahmen aus im Querschnitt rechteckigen Hohlprofilen aus Edelstahl beidseitig der Brandschutzscheibe angeordnet sind, ist es nachteiligerweise erforderlich, die vier Rohre jeder Seite an ihren vier Ecken miteinander zu verschweißen. Es sind folglich an jeder Tür acht Schweißvorgänge durchzuführen, so dass der Gesamtaufwand für die Erstellung der erforderlichen Eckverbindungen erheblich ist. Zunächst sind die Metallprofile in einem aufwendigen Zuschnitt, bei schwieriger Passung auf Gehrung zu schneiden, sind dann die Schweißvorgänge durchzuführen, die in der Regel mit einem Verzug der Rohre verbunden sind, so dass ein anschließendes Nacharbeiten und Verputzen sowie letztlich Polieren erforderlich ist, um einwandfreie Eckverbindungen herzustellen. Es besteht deshalb ein ständiger Bedarf, eine verbesserte Eckverbindung vorzuschlagen, mit der der enorme Erstellungsaufwand verringert werden kann.Metal pipes for use as a static element with increased rigidity are manufactured in particular with rectangular cross sections. For a wide variety of applications, it is necessary to connect individual pipes together. For example, screws, rivets, flanges or sleeves are used as connecting means, and welded or soldered connections are made on the other hand. Welded connections are preferred in particular in the case of a fire protection door frame made of stainless steel tubes, which have to bear the considerable weight of a fire protection window and have to meet high safety requirements in the event of a fire. Since such door frames made of hollow sections made of stainless steel with a rectangular cross section are arranged on both sides of the fire protection pane, it is disadvantageously necessary to weld the four pipes on each side at their four corners. As a result, eight welding processes have to be carried out on each door, so that the total effort for creating the required corner connections is considerable. First of all, the metal profiles have to be cut to size, if the fit is difficult to miter, then the welding processes, which are usually associated with a warping of the pipes, must be carried out, so that subsequent reworking and plastering and ultimately polishing is necessary to ensure perfect To make corner connections. There is therefore a constant need to propose an improved corner connection with which the enormous production effort can be reduced.

GB 1 019 243 A beschreibt eine Eckverbinding nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. GB 1 019 243 A describes a corner connection according to the preamble of claim 1.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine neuartige Eckverbindung eines aus einzelnen miteinander verbundenen Metallrohren bestehenden Rahmens, insbesondere einer Brandschutztür, vorzuschlagen, die keine Schweißarbeiten oder aufwendige Nachbearbeitungen erfordert.The invention is based on the object of proposing a novel corner connection of a frame consisting of individual interconnected metal tubes, in particular a fire door, which does not require any welding work or expensive reworking.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist die eingangs genannte Eckverbindung erfindungsgemäß gekennzeichnet durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Die Metallrohre weisen vorzugsweise eine im Querschnitt rechteckförmige Innenkontur auf, wobei die Außenkontur des Rohrverbinders hierzu entsprechend zur Erzielung einer engen Spielpassung ausgebildet ist. Die Fixierung des Rohrverbinders wird vorteilhafterweise von der Innenseite des Rahmens her vorgenommen, insbesondere benachbart zur Brandschutzscheibe einer Brandschutztür, um eine optisch und ästhetisch einwandfreie Sichtseite des Rahmens zu erzielen.To achieve the object, the corner connection mentioned at the outset is characterized according to the invention by the features of claim 1. The metal pipes preferably have an inner contour which is rectangular in cross section, the outer contour of the pipe connector being designed accordingly to achieve a close clearance fit. The pipe connector is advantageously fixed from the inside of the frame, in particular adjacent to the fire protection window of a fire protection door, in order to achieve an optically and aesthetically perfect visible side of the frame.

Der Rohrverbinder weist zweckmäßigerweise zwei zueinander beabstandete Längsbohrungen für die Durchführung von zwei Schrauben auf, die mit der Rohrwandung des zweiten Rohres verschraubt sind. Erfindungsgemäß werden Zylindersenkschrauben verwendet, die mit Senkkopf-Einnietmuttern in der Rohrwandung des zweiten Rohres verschraubt sind. Zur Fixierung des ersten Rohres mit dem Rohrverbinder sind diese mit je zwei zueinander beabstandeten korrespondierenden Querbohrungen versehen, in die zur Fixierung Senkschrauben eingeschraubt sind, wozu die beiden Querbohrungen des Rohrverbinders mit Innengewinden versehen sind.The pipe connector expediently has two spaced-apart longitudinal bores for the passage of two screws which are screwed to the pipe wall of the second pipe. According to the invention, countersunk screws are used, which are screwed with countersunk rivet nuts in the tube wall of the second tube. To fix the first pipe with the pipe connector, they are each provided with two mutually spaced corresponding cross bores into which countersunk screws are screwed for fixing, for which purpose the two cross bores of the pipe connector are provided with internal threads.

Der erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene stumpfe Anschlag der miteinander zu verbindenden Metallrohre, vorzugsweise Edelstahlrohre, aneinander, ist zweckmäßigerweise ästhetisch optimiert, indem sämtliche Kanten der zu verbindenden Rohre, insbesondere die Kanten der offenen Seite des anschlagenden Rohres abgerundet sind, beispielsweise mit einer Abrundung R = 1,75. Hiermit wird auch die Verletzungsgefahr bei der Montage durch scharfe Rohrkanten vermieden.The butting of the metal pipes to be connected, preferably stainless steel pipes, against one another, which is provided according to the invention, is expediently aesthetically optimized by rounding off all edges of the pipes to be connected, in particular the edges of the open side of the connecting pipe, for example with a rounding R = 1.75 , This also avoids the risk of injury during assembly due to sharp pipe edges.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Eckverbindung entfallen die Nachteile von den auf Gehrung verbundenen Rohrverbindungen des Standes der Technik, die einen aufwendigen Zuschnitt, eine schwierige Passung und vor allem Schweißverbindungen aufweisen, die die Gefahr des Verzugs der Rohre einschließen und aufwendige Nacharbeiten wie Putzen und Polieren jeder Ecke erfordern. Mit der Erfindung wird eine Schraubverbindung geschaffen, die eine einfache Montage und eine freie optische Gestaltung des Rahmens, beispielsweise durch Eloxieren oder Lackieren der Metallprofile, ermöglicht.With the corner connection according to the invention, the disadvantages of the miter-connected pipe connections of the prior art are eliminated have elaborate cuts, a difficult fit and, above all, welded connections that include the risk of warping of the pipes and require extensive reworking such as cleaning and polishing every corner. With the invention, a screw connection is created which enables simple assembly and a free optical design of the frame, for example by anodizing or painting the metal profiles.

Die in Fig. 1 der Zeichnung dargestellte Tür T weist eine Brandschutzscheibe 1 auf, die aus zwei mittels eines Abstandshalters und einem PU-Randverbund auf Abstand und aneinandergehaltenen ESG-Glasscheiben aufgebaut ist, so dass ein geschlossener Innenraum entsteht, der mit einem Gel als Brandschutzmittel ausgefüllt ist. Die Brandschutzscheibe 1 ist allseitig durch einen umlaufenden Rahmen 2 gehalten, der jeweils aus im Querschnitt rechteckigen Hohlprofilen besteht, die weiter unten näher beschrieben sind. Aus derartigen Hohlprofilen wird ein vorderer Rahmenteil gebildet, der in Fig. 1 der Zeichnung sichtbar ist, sowie ein hinterer in der Zeichnung nicht sichtbarer gleichartiger Rahmenteil, wobei zwischen diesen beiden Rahmenteilen die Brandschutzscheibe 1 gehalten ist. Vorderer und hinterer Rahmenteil sind miteinander durch eine nicht näher beschriebene Verbindungsvorrichtung verbunden.In the Fig. 1 The door T shown in the drawing has a fire protection pane 1, which is constructed from two ESG glass panes spaced apart and held together by means of a spacer and a PU edge bond, so that a closed interior is created which is filled with a gel as a fire protection agent. The fire protection pane 1 is held on all sides by a circumferential frame 2, which in each case consists of hollow profiles with a rectangular cross section, which are described in more detail below. A front frame part is formed from such hollow profiles Fig. 1 the drawing is visible, as well as a rear frame part of the same type, not visible in the drawing, the fire protection pane 1 being held between these two frame parts. The front and rear frame parts are connected to one another by a connecting device (not described in more detail).

Der so aufgebaute umlaufende Rahmen ist über Scharniere S an der Türzarge Z angeschlagen, die beispielsweise zu einem angrenzenden Flächenelement einer Brandschutzverglasung oder zu einer Gebäudewand gehört. Ferner weist die Tür T auf der der Scharnierseite gegenüberliegenden Seite jeweils eine Türklinke zur Betätigung eines nicht dargestellten Verriegelungsmechanismusses auf und befindet sich oberhalb der Glastür T ein Oberlicht O, das links und rechts durch hochgezogene Pfosten 3 und 4 und einen Kämpfer 5 als waagerechtem Trennungsteil gehalten ist. Die Pfosten 3 und 4 der Türzarge Z sind ebenfalls als im Querschnitt rechteckige Hohlprofile aus Edelstahl ausgebildet.The circumferential frame constructed in this way is attached to the door frame Z via hinges S, which, for example, belongs to an adjacent surface element of fire protection glazing or to a building wall. Furthermore, the door T on the side opposite the hinge side has a door handle for actuating a locking mechanism, not shown, and is located above the glass door T, a skylight O, which is held on the left and right by raised posts 3 and 4 and a fighter 5 as a horizontal separating part is. Posts 3 and 4 of door frame Z are also designed as hollow profiles made of stainless steel with a rectangular cross section.

Die beschriebene Tür T mit ihrem äußeren und inneren Rahmenteil weist insgesamt acht Eckverbindungen auf. Darüber hinaus ist der Kämpfer 5 über zwei Eckverbindungen links und rechts mit den Pfosten 3 und 4 verbunden. Der Aufbau der Eckverbindungen ergibt sich aus den Fig. 2 bis 9 der Zeichnung.The described door T with its outer and inner frame part has a total of eight corner connections. In addition, the fighter 5 is connected to the posts 3 and 4 via two corner connections on the left and right. The structure of the corner connections results from the 2 to 9 the drawing.

Die in Fig. 2 der Zeichnung dargestellte Eckverbindung ist am Rahmen 2 der Tür T an der rechten oberen Ecke des vorderen Rahmenteils ausgebildet. Die Eckverbindung wird als Beispiel nachfolgend erläutert mit dem Hinweis, dass sämtliche Eckverbindungen am äußeren Rahmenteil und inneren Rahmenteil des Rahmens 2 in gleichartiger Weise aufgebaut sind.In the Fig. 2 the drawing shown corner connection is formed on the frame 2 of the door T at the upper right corner of the front frame part. The corner connection is explained below as an example with the note that all corner connections on the outer frame part and inner frame part of the frame 2 are constructed in a similar manner.

Durch die Eckverbindung wird ein im Querschnitt rechteckiges senkrecht verlaufendes Metallrohr 6 des Türrahmens 2 mit einem waagerecht verlaufenden, im Querschnitt ebenfalls rechteckigen Metallrohr 7 in einem stumpfen Anschlag zueinander verbunden, so dass die Metallrohre 6 und 7 unter Einschluss eines rechten Winkels derart aneinanderstoßen, dass die offene Seite 8 des waagerechten Metallrohres 7 stumpf an der Rohrwandung 9 des senkrechten Metallrohres 6 anliegt. Zur Herstellung der Eckverbindung ist ein Rohrverbinder 10 mit der Rohrwandung 9 des zweiten Rohres 6 verschraubt, dessen Form und Größe der Innenkontur des waagerechten Metallrohres 7 angepasst ist und in dieses eingeschoben und fixiert ist. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Rohrverbinder 10 schmaler als das Rohr 7 selbst ausgebildet, um an der Gesamtkonstruktion mit identischen Rohrverbindern 10 arbeiten zu können. Aus der perspektivischen Darstellung der Fig. 3 ist die Form und Größe des Rohrverbinders und die Verschraubung und Fixierung gut entnehmbar. Demnach ist der Rohrverbinder 10 ein prismatischer Körper mit rechteckiger Grundfläche, dessen Form und Größe - wenn auch schmaler - dem Querschnitt des Metallrohres 7 angepasst und zur Erzielung einer Spielpassung ausgebildet ist. Der Rohrverbinder 10 ist mit zwei zueinander beabstandeten Längsbohrungen 11, 12 für die Durchführung von zwei Zylindersenkschrauben 13, 14 versehen, die mit der Rohrwandung 9 des zweiten Metallrohres 6 verschraubt sind, welches hierzu mit Senkkopf-Einnietmuttern 15, 16 versehen ist. Das zweite Metallrohr 7 ist auf den mit dem Metallrohr 6 verschraubten Rohrverbinder 10 aufgeschoben und fixiert. Zur Fixierung sind das Metallrohr 7 und der Rohrverbinder 10 mit je zwei zueinander beabstandeten korrespondierenden Querbohrungen 17, 18; 19, 20 versehen, in die Senkschrauben 21, 22 eingeschraubt sind, wozu die beiden Querbohrungen 19, 20 des Rohrverbinders 10 mit Innengewinden versehen sind.The corner connection makes a rectangular cross section perpendicular extending metal tube 6 of the door frame 2 with a horizontally extending, also rectangular in cross section metal tube 7 connected to each other in a blunt stop, so that the metal tubes 6 and 7 butt each other including a right angle such that the open side 8 of the horizontal metal tube 7 butt the pipe wall 9 of the vertical metal pipe 6 rests. To produce the corner connection, a pipe connector 10 is screwed to the pipe wall 9 of the second pipe 6, the shape and size of which is adapted to the inner contour of the horizontal metal pipe 7 and is inserted and fixed therein. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the pipe connector 10 is narrower than the pipe 7 itself in order to be able to work on the overall construction with identical pipe connectors 10. From the perspective view of the Fig. 3 the shape and size of the pipe connector and the screw connection and fixation can be easily removed. Accordingly, the pipe connector 10 is a prismatic body with a rectangular base, the shape and size of which - albeit narrower - is adapted to the cross section of the metal pipe 7 and is designed to achieve a clearance fit. The tube connector 10 is provided with two spaced-apart longitudinal bores 11, 12 for the passage of two countersunk screws 13, 14 which are screwed to the tube wall 9 of the second metal tube 6, which is provided with countersunk rivet nuts 15, 16 for this purpose. The second metal pipe 7 is pushed onto the pipe connector 10 screwed to the metal pipe 6 and fixed. For fixation, the metal pipe 7 and the pipe connector 10 are each provided with two corresponding transverse bores 17, 18; 19, 20, into which countersunk screws 21, 22 are screwed, for which purpose the two transverse bores 19, 20 of the pipe connector 10 are provided with internal threads.

Die Fig. 6 bis 10 der Zeichnung zeigen die Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Eckverbindung an dem nach oben verlängerten Pfosten 3 der Türzarge und dem waagerecht verlaufenden Kämpfer 5 zur Halterung des Oberlichts O. In gleichartiger Weise ist der linke Pfosten 4 mit dem Kämpfer 5 verbunden. Dabei weisen die Stahl-Hohlprofile, die die Pfosten 3 und 4 bilden, einen größeren rechteckigen Querschnitt als das Hohlprofil auf, welches den Kämpfer 5 bildet. Dies ist insbesondere den Schnittdarstellungen der Fig. 8 und 9 entnehmbar. Dementsprechend sind bei ansonsten gleichartigem Aufbau gemäß obiger Beschreibung die Eckverbindungen zwischen den Pfosten 3 und 4 und dem Kämpfer 5 mit Rohrverbindern 23 hergestellt, die dem schmaleren Kämpfer 5 angepasst sind und dem Rohrverbinder 10 entsprechen, um das Einsetzen und Fixieren des Kämpfers 5 am Pfosten 3 mit Spielpassung durchzuführen. Im Übrigen wird auf obige Beschreibung der Eckverbindung verwiesen.The 6 to 10 the drawing shows the use of the corner connection according to the invention on the upwardly extended post 3 of the door frame and the horizontally extending fighter 5 for holding the skylight O. In a similar manner, the left post 4 is connected to the fighter 5. The hollow steel profiles that form the posts 3 and 4 have a larger rectangular cross-section than the hollow profile that forms the fighter 5. This is particularly the sectional views of the 8 and 9 removable. Accordingly, with an otherwise similar structure as described above, the corner connections between the posts 3 and 4 and the Fighter 5 made with pipe connectors 23 which are adapted to the narrower fighter 5 and correspond to the pipe connector 10 in order to carry out the insertion and fixing of the fighter 5 on the post 3 with a clearance fit. For the rest, reference is made to the above description of the corner connection.

An sämtlichen Eckverbindungen ist vorgesehen, an der äußeren Sichtseite den stumpfen Anschlag der miteinander verbundenen Metallrohre ästhetisch zu optimieren, indem sämtliche Kanten der zu verbindenden Rohre, insbesondere die Kanten der offenen Seite des anschlagenden Metallrohres - in den Ausführungsbeispielen der Metallrohre 5 und 7 - abgerundet sind (vgl. auch Fig. 10, Bezugszeichen 24), wobei in den Ausführungsbeispielen Abrundungsradien mit R > 1,75 angewandt sind, um auch die Verletzungsgefahr bei der Montage durch scharfe Rohrkanten zu vermeiden.At all corner connections, the blunt stop of the interconnected metal pipes is aesthetically optimized on the outer visible side by rounding off all edges of the pipes to be connected, in particular the edges of the open side of the connecting metal pipe - in the exemplary embodiments of metal pipes 5 and 7 (see also Fig. 10 , Reference numeral 24), with rounding radii of R> 1.75 being used in the exemplary embodiments in order also to avoid the risk of injury during assembly due to sharp pipe edges.
