Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gantry for spanning a traffic area.
  • Gantries having one or two poles supporting a horizontal beam are inter alia used for information or signalling purposes or for collecting road toll or parking fees by means of dedicated components mounted to the beam, spanning a highway, an access ramp thereto or an entrance or exit of a car park, for example.
  • such gantries are built from steel or armoured concrete for reasons of simplicity, rigidity and standardisation.
  • both the poles and the horizontal beam have to be very massive and also the foundations required are huge. Consequently, the weight of the gantry is far beyond the weight of all components possibly mounted thereon resulting in an inefficient construction which mainly supports itself.
  • mast and arm are formed from metal or plastics and are hollow at least in part for receiving a rotating mechanism.
  • a gantry for spanning a traffic area comprising two poles, each pole having an arm projecting laterally at the top for mounting components thereon, wherein the poles and arms are each manufactured from a longitudinal construction element made of a synthetic material with hollow chambers, wherein at least one of said poles has a pivot for swivelling the arm projecting therefrom around a vertical axis between a first position in which the arm is aligned with the arm of the other pole, thereby spanning the traffic area, and a second position in which the arm is swivelled away from the traffic area, and wherein the longitudinal construction element comprises a generally-cylindrical mantle made of synthetic composite material and a core sheathed by the mantle, the core having a plurality of chambers extending in the longitudinal direction of the element, wherein the chambers are delimitated by intermediate walls deposited successively in layers by means of a 3D-printing process.
  • the lightweight, though rigid construction of such a gantry eases the handling before, during and after erection and still complies e.g. with safety requirements while reaching an enormous improved ratio between weight of the gantry itself and components to be mounted thereon. Due to the low weight and the separation into two poles with projecting arms these can be swivelled away from the traffic area, where, in the second position, poles, arms and components mounted thereon can easily and cost-effectively be serviced without interrupting the traffic flow of passing vehicles.
  • Such a construction element can be produced in any predefined length and diameter as required for any specific gantry.
  • the two are friction-locked in the longitudinal direction and form-locked in the two cross-sectional directions, whereby mantle and core support each other.
  • rigidity and weight of the element can meet the requirements of gantries in a wide range.
  • the pivot can be located at the top of the pole whereby only the arm is swivelled.
  • said pivot is located at the bottom of the pole for anchoring on the ground and for swivelling the pole together with the arm projecting therefrom. Consequently, the pivot being a strong element can be anchored and serviced more easily.
  • At least one of the two arms can have a releasable interlock for engaging said arm with the respective other arm when in said first position.
  • the gantry forms a closed archway and forces potentially arising at one of the poles or arms can be shared with the respective other arm and pole, increasing rigidity of the whole gantry.
  • the chambers preferentially have a substantially triangular or hexagonal cross-section.
  • the diameter of the mantle is at least a fivefold of the diameter of any chamber and/or that the diameter of each chamber is at least a fivefold of the thickness of any delimitating intermediate wall.
  • At least one cross-sectional area of the intermediate walls is made of electrically, optically, or thermally conductive material throughout said longitudinal direction, wherein in case of two or more such areas these are separated from one another by non-conductive cross-sectional areas.
  • the non-conductive but also the conductive cross-sectional areas contribute to the mechanical rigidity of the core while concurrently adding functionality for conducting energy or signals.
  • at least one of the chambers is filled with non-conductive material which is penetrated by an electrical or optical conductor in the longitudinal direction end-to-end.
  • a separate process for inserting or attaching a conductor to the construction element is not necessary and the extra weight thereof can be saved, making the whole gantry even more lightweight.
  • the electrically or optically conductive area of the intermediate walls is immediately 3D-printed during the process, this area contributes to the mechanical rigidity of the construction element and the gantry, respectively, while concurrently adding functionality for conducting energy or signals.
  • intermediate walls are omitted for housing and/or mounting the components.
  • Such an area is well protected inside the mantle and can be of any necessary shape and size being limited only by the required overall rigidity of the gantry.
  • the chambers or intermediate walls with electrically, optically, or thermally conductive material extend up to said area.
  • the energy supply and/or control of the components mounted at said chambers can thereby be effected simply through contacts on the outside of the components corresponding to the chambers or intermediate walls.
  • the interlock comprises alignment pins which are movable in the longitudinal direction of the arm for electrically, optically and/or thermally connecting to the other arm when interlocking.
  • the arms are both mechanically interlocked with and electrically connected to one another, whereby the arms and the components thereon can share energy and control information.
  • Each alignment pin can favourably be remotely controllable and movable by means of filaments each of which is connected to one end of the alignment pin and runs inside a chamber of the respective arm to be aligned. Separate mechanical conducts for the filaments are not necessary in this case and the whole mechanism for remotely moving the alignment pins is reliable and lightweight.
  • alignment pins are connected to said areas or conductors, respectively, the latter linking said components with a common supply and control system carried by one of the poles or arms.
  • a single supply and control system can be used for the gantry to supply and control all components mounted to the two arms.
  • said supply and control system is further configured to supply said components with a cold or hot fluid through at least one chamber penetrating the construction element in the longitudinal direction thereof.
  • At least one of the chambers is filled with a thermal insulation.
  • a thermal insulation can even be 3D-printed during the production process.
  • thermal insulation can be achieved by at least one of the chambers being sealed at both ends and evacuated. Hot or cool sections of the construction element, for example sections with integrated or attached sensors or other components, can thereby be separated from the rest. If one or more chambers shall be used as conduit for a cooling or heating fluid, these chambers can be surrounded by the chambers filled with thermally insulated material to maintain the temperature of the fluid. Such fluids can be gaseous or liquid.
  • a longitudinal construction element 1 according to Fig. 1 for use in lightweight constructions has a generally-cylindrical mantle 2 made of a synthetic composite material and a core 3 which is sheathed by the mantle 2.
  • the core 3 has a plurality of chambers 4 which extend in the longitudinal direction L of the element 1.
  • the chambers 4 are delimitated by intermediate walls 5 deposited successively in layers by means of a 3D-printing process.
  • the layers can either be deposited in the longitudinal direction L of the construction element 1, perpendicular, or even aslant thereto at any angle, as will be explained in detail further down.
  • generally-cylindrical comprises all those forms of cross-sections which are extended - linearly from an arbitrary 2D-shape into the third dimension in the manner of a general geometrical cylinder - over the longitudinal direction L.
  • the mantle 2 is formed as a circular cylinder.
  • the cross-section of the mantle 2 could also have a different form, for example oval, polygonal, e.g. substantially square (possibly with rounded corners), etc.
  • the thickness of the mantle 2 could vary along its circumference, e.g. it could be thicker at potential corners.
  • the chambers 4 of the core 3 in the example of Fig. 1 have a substantially hexagonal cross-section and are substantially congruent to one another, whereby the intermediate walls 5 are regularly arranged.
  • the chambers 4 could also be substantially triangular, quadrangular, in particular square, or of different regular or even irregular form.
  • different chambers could also have cross-sections which differ from one another, e.g. mixing octagons with intermediate squares, thereby resulting in an arrangement of the intermediate walls 5 which is either regular or even irregular.
  • the chambers 4 in one part of the cross-section of the element 1, e.g. in the centre or at one side could also differ in their diameter D c from chambers 4 elsewhere, thereby reducing the weight of the core 3 while maintaining rigidity where needed.
  • the cross-section of the mantle 2 can optionally be a scale-up of the cross-section of each chamber 4, as shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the diameter D m of the mantle 2 is more than a fivefold of the diameter D c of any of the chambers 4, and the diameter D c of each chamber 4 is more than a fivefold of the thickness T w of any delimitating intermediate wall 5.
  • Each chamber 4 of the construction element 1 of Fig. 1 penetrates the core 3 in the longitudinal direction L of the element 1 end-to-end, for example for longitudinally conducting, e.g. gaseous or liquid, media.
  • the chambers 4 could alternatively be delimitated in the longitudinal direction L of the element 1, e.g. at both ends of the longitudinal construction element 1 or by in-between walls similar to the intermediate walls 5 but substantially orthogonal to the direction L.
  • further (outer) chambers 6 are delimitated between some of the intermediate walls 5 and the mantle 2.
  • the further (outer) chambers 6 are actually fractions of the (inner) chambers 4 if the intermediate walls 5 are regularly arranged.
  • such further chambers 6 could, for example, also be created by intermediate walls 5 approximately orthogonal to the nearest section of the mantle 2 when seen in cross-sectional view.
  • the further chambers 6 at the core's cross-sectional circumference are formed by the intermediate walls 5 and are open outwards in radial direction of the core 3.
  • the mantle 2 can be made of any suitable synthetic composite material, for example a fibre-reinforced plastic material.
  • the mantle 2 is made of a glass-fibre or carbon-fibre reinforced polymer. It could alternatively be made of an epoxy granite.
  • a method of producing the core 3 for the construction element 1 shall now be exemplified.
  • This method can be used to produce a core 3 having, for matching a construction element 1, a longitudinal generally-cylindrical form and a cross-section with a repeating pattern 7 of polygon chambers 4 delimitated by intermediate walls 5, as per the exemplary embodiment of Fig. 1 .
  • a 3D-printer 8 for producing the core 3, layer-by-layer is provided.
  • the 3D-printer 8 has a base 9 for supporting curable material deposited thereon.
  • the base 9 is movable in the vertical direction z corresponding to the longitudinal direction L of the core 3, as will be explained in detail further down.
  • the 3D-printer 8 comprises a print head 10 which is movable across the base 9, i.e. in the two horizontal directions x, y in the present example.
  • the print head 10 has two or more print nozzles 11 extending therefrom which deposit the material on the base 9 or on a previously deposited layer of material, respectively.
  • Print head 10 and print nozzles 11 are controlled by a controller 12, not shown in greater detail, which might also contain one or more reservoirs for material to be deposited.
  • the print head 10 with the print nozzles 11 is adequately distanced in vertical direction z from the base 9 (or the previously deposited layer of material thereon); and a layer of material is then deposited from at least two of the print nozzles 11 simultaneously while the print head 10 with its print nozzles 11 moves in horizontal direction x, y along the repeating pattern 7 ( Figs. 2a, 2b and 3 ) to form the polygon chambers 4 of the core 3.
  • the print nozzles 11 engaged in this step of depositing have a mutual distance d n on the print head 10 corresponding to a distance d c between two corners 13a, 13b of the polygon chambers 4.
  • the 3D-printer 8 does not necessarily have to be arranged as shown in Figs. 2a and 2b , whereby horizontal and vertical directions x, y, z of the 3D-printer 8 as described above do not necessarily coincide with real-world horizontal and vertical directions.
  • the print head 10 can optionally be revolver-type, as shown in the example of Fig. 2a , being turnable (“revolvable") around an axis R for example, which axis R can have any appropriate orientation.
  • the print nozzles 11 are arranged in at least two groups G 1 , G 2 , ..., generally G i , on the print head 10, each group G i comprising at least two print nozzles 11.
  • the print head 10 is revolved, e.g. controlled by the controller 12, to bring one of said groups G i of print nozzles 11 at a time into a position for depositing.
  • the print nozzles 11 of different groups G i can optionally differ in number, their mutual distances d n and/or the material to be deposited therewith, which is depicted by the different diameters of the print nozzles 11 in Fig. 2a .
  • the print head 10 can also be segmented, wherein each segment S 1 , S 2 , ..., generally S i , carries at least one print nozzle 11 and is separately revolvable around the axis R.
  • the segments S i can be revolved if necessary to arrange predetermined print nozzles 11 in a group G i and bring said group G i into a position for depositing.
  • the print nozzles 11 can thereby be arranged in mutational groups G i of potentially dissimilar print nozzles 11 depositing, e.g., different materials as desired.
  • Said steps of depositing and moving can both be executed continuously, i.e. by the print head 10 moving non-intermittently and the print nozzles 11 depositing non-intermittently, or gradually, i.e. by the print head 10 alternatingly moving and stopping and the print nozzles 11, while stopped, depositing a droplet of material, or even in an amalgamation of these two options.
  • the movement of the print head 10 can for example follow a forward path 14 according to Figs. 3 and 4 substantially from one side of the base 9 to the other, depositing a layer of only some of the intermediate walls 5 first, and afterwards follow a backward path 15 substantially in the other direction, depositing a layer of material of the remaining intermediate walls 5 of the pattern 7 next.
  • the deposition can either be interrupted in one of the two directions (as symbolised by the dashed lines in the backward path 15 of Fig. 3 ) or the speed of movement can be increased to achieve a deposition of a thinner layer in each direction, adding up to a full size layer thickness.
  • the print head 10 could also be controlled so as to deposit a layer of material of the intermediate walls 5 chamber-by-chamber 4 (not shown). However, as at least two print nozzles 11 are engaged at a time, a layer of material of at least two intermediate walls 5 is deposited simultaneously at two positions of the pattern 7 at least.
  • the steps of depositing and moving can be repeated for the same layer of material for other intermediate walls 5 at positions of the pattern 7 which were not deposited during a previous run.
  • the base 9 and the print head 10 are distanced from one another in the longitudinal direction L (i.e. the vertical direction z) of the core 3 by the thickness of one completed layer, in a next step.
  • the base 9 movable in vertical direction z is distanced from the print head 10 and its nozzles 11; alternatively, base 9 could be fixed, in which case the print head 10 (with its print nozzles 11) would be movable to distance from the base 9.
  • the steps of depositing and distancing are repeated in the examples of Figs. 2 to 4 until the core 3 reaches said length.
  • chambers 4 are substantially congruent to one another and have a hexagonal ( Fig. 3 ) or triangular ( Fig. 4 ) cross-section.
  • chambers 4 of different cross-sectional form can be produced with the illustrated method, as well as repeating patterns 7 of non-congruent chambers 4 and their intermediate walls 5.
  • the core 3 can alternatively be produced using essentially the same method but depositing layers of material in a direction other than said longitudinal direction L of the core 3, i.e. perpendicular or aslant thereto, when at least two intermediate walls 5 are arranged in parallel to each other with the chambers 4 not necessarily having a polygonal cross-section.
  • the print nozzles 11 which deposit material in the step of depositing have a mutual distance d n which, more generally, corresponds to a distance d w between said parallel intermediate walls 5.
  • This distance d w is not necessarily the shortest distance between said intermediate walls 5 but a distance that can be measured in any longitudinal cross-section C of the core 3 ( Fig. 3 ).
  • the print head 10 is moved across the base 9, during the step of depositing; and in the step of distancing, the base 9 and the print head 10 are distanced from each other by the thickness of one layer. The steps of depositing and distancing are then repeated until the core 3 reaches a predetermined size.
  • the print head 10 is substantially moved along the longitudinal direction L of the core 3 while depositing a layer, said cross-section C constituting a potential 3D-printing plane, and the base 9 and the print head 10 are then distanced perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L by the thickness of one layer, these steps being repeated, in this case, until the core 3 reaches a predetermined cross-sectional diameter.
  • the 3D-printer 8 can also comprise more than one print head 10, all of which print heads 10 are movable simultaneously across the base 9 while depositing material from their respective print nozzles 11.
  • the forward path 14 can be followed by the first print head 10 and path 15 (originally the backward path) could be followed by a second print head (not shown), both print heads moving substantially in the same direction (here: the forward direction) next or successively to each other.
  • the curable material deposited is a thermoplastic.
  • the 3D-printer 8 can optionally comprise at least one thermally controllable heating element H.
  • a heating element could be a source of microwaves, infrared or similar energy waves or warm air being directed at the deposited material as such or at the layer being deposited, respectively.
  • the heating element H can either be fixed with respect to the base 9 or the print head 10 or, preferably, is separately movable, e.g. for distancing from the base 9.
  • the heating element H could be split into a fixed and a movable portion, which portions together effect the control of the layer's temperature.
  • a synthetic material curable by at least two energy beams e.g. by light beams
  • the step of depositing a layer of material would rather be a step of curing said layer in a tub of liquid material, as known to the person skilled in the art, the term "depositing" as used herein also comprising these variants.
  • the material can either be cured ("deposited") on the upper surface or at the bottom of the tub.
  • the base 9 would be on top of the print head 10, pulling the 3D-printed core 3 out of the tub, while the exposure to the curing light beams would be from below via a transparent window are the bottom of the tub.
  • the method can equally be used for depositing at least two different materials, each from a different print nozzle 11, wherein said different print nozzles 11 are arranged either on one print head 10, e.g. in different groups G i , and are fed with the at least two different materials, or on at least two different print heads 10, where applicable, wherein one and the same material is deposited from all print nozzles 11 of one and the same print head 10.
  • conductive material is deposited, similarly as described above, layer-by-layer in said longitudinal direction L, perpendicular or aslant thereto in such at least one cross sectional area 16a, 16b.
  • any cross-sectional area of the intermediate walls 5 can thereby be made electrically, optically, or thermally conductive in the longitudinal direction L of the core 3.
  • the areas 16a, 16b can comprise, e.g., a set of intermediate walls 5 which delimitate one chamber 4, i.e. define a "loop" 18 in the cross-section of the core 3, or which meet each other in the form of a "star" at a corner 13a, 13b between intermediate walls 5 of adjacent chambers 4.
  • a non-conductive material and at least one electrical or optical conductor 20 can be embedded therein by depositing appropriate materials.

  • a separate chamber 18' can optionally formed by intermediate walls 5.
  • the separate chamber 18' in this example has a cross-section which differs both in size and in form from the cross-sections of other chambers 4 and constitutes one of said conductive cross-sectional areas 16a, 16b of the core 3.
  • the intermediate walls 5 forming said separate chamber 18' can be internally coated with electrically conductive material in a separate step.
  • Such a separate chamber 18' can, e.g., be used as a waveguide for transmission of electromagnetic waves in longitudinal direction L of the construction element 1.
  • Waveguides usually have a rectangular cross-section but could alternatively be circular or elliptic in cross-section.
  • the cross-sectional size and form of the waveguide are determined by the frequency of the electromagnetic wave to be transmitted.
  • the separate chamber 18' can therefore be smaller in size than other chambers 4 of the core 3, e.g. for transmitting electromagnetic waves in a millimetre wave range (50 - 100 GHz), as the example of Fig. 6 shows, but it could alternatively have a larger cross-section and extend over several chambers 4.
  • the separate chamber 18' can be formed of only separate intermediate walls (not shown) or use at least one intermediate wall 5 of the core's structure.
  • Such waveguides are preferably used in basic mode operation, i.e. at its cutoff frequency.
  • a proper rectangular waveguide has dimensions of 3 mm x 1.5 mm.
  • a thermal insulation inside at least one of the chambers 4, see exemplary chamber 21 in Fig. 6 , thereby filling this chamber 21.
  • Such an insulation could for example be a foam, either deposited using the same material as for the intermediate walls 5, e.g. by depositing a plurality of additional walls confining small gaseous bubbles inside said chamber 21, or a different material, e.g. from a separate foam nozzle 11.
  • at least one of the chambers can be sealed at both ends and evacuated.
  • such chambers 21 filled with a thermal insulation can be arranged around an inner chamber 22 - or around an area 16a, 16b of thermally conductive material - to be thermally insulated, wherein the inner chamber 22 can be used for conducting a cooling or heating fluid, the fluid being either gaseous or liquid.
  • Figs. 7 to 10 show different embodiments of a gantry 23 for spanning a traffic area 24, e.g. a road, the entrance of a car park, or another exposed location where accessibility is monitored or limited.
  • the gantry 23 has two poles 25, 26, each pole 25, 26 having an arm 27, 28 projecting laterally at the top of the respective pole 25, 26.
  • the arms 27, 28 can be used for mounting components 29 9 thereon. Examples for such components 29 are traffic lights, traffic signs, cameras, displays and road toll equipment.
  • the poles 25, 26 and arms 27, 28 of the gantry 23 are each manufactured from the longitudinal construction element 1, which is a lightweight construction of synthetic material with hollow chambers 4 as extensively illustrated herein above.
