Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein modulares Tragprofil bestehend aus zumindest zwei in Längsrichtung aneinandergereihten, und an ihren einander zugewandten Stirnflächen durch zumindest eine Spannvorrichtung zusammengespannten Grundprofilsegmenten zur Befestigung von Stäben in einem im Wesentlichen normalen Winkel zur Längsrichtung der Grundprofilsegmente in den Grundprofilsegmenten.The invention relates to a modular support profile consisting of at least two basic profile segments lined up in a longitudinal direction and clamped together at their facing end faces by at least one clamping device for fastening rods at an essentially normal angle to the longitudinal direction of the basic profile segments in the basic profile segments.

Ein derartiges modulares Tragprofil wird beispielsweise für bodengeführte und freitragende Schiebetore sowie Zäune oder andere Vergitterungen verwendet, wobei durch das Zusammenspannen mehrerer Grundprofilsegmente die Länge des Schiebetors an die Öffnung im Zaun angepasst werden kann. Bekannte Tragprofile weisen Spannvorrichtungen auf, welche mittels Seilen oder Drähten, sowie durchgehenden Stangen die Grundprofilsegmente zusammenspannenSuch a modular support profile is used, for example, for floor-guided and cantilever sliding gates as well as fences or other grids, whereby the length of the sliding gate can be adapted to the opening in the fence by clamping several basic profile segments together. Known support profiles have clamping devices which clamp the basic profile segments together by means of ropes or wires and continuous rods

EP 2 500 509 A2 beschreibt ein modulares Tragprofil nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. EP 2 500 509 A2 describes a modular support profile according to the preamble of claim 1.

Als nachteilig hat sich in derartigen Systemen erwiesen, dass eine Verbindung mittels Seilen, welche durch Schraubsysteme gespannten werden, dazu führen kann, dass sich die Seile im Grundprofilsegment verdrehen und dehnen, was in weiterer Folge zu einer Lockerung der Verbindung führt. Bei einer Verwendung von Gewindestangen hingegen können sich die Gewindestangen im Profil bei der Montage mitdrehen, wodurch keine sichere Spannung gewährleistet werden kann. Spannvorrichtungen welche Drähte als Spannelement verwenden benötigen wiederum spezielles Werkzeug, um gespannt zu werden.It has proven to be disadvantageous in such systems that a connection by means of ropes, which are tensioned by screw systems, can lead to the ropes twisting and stretching in the basic profile segment, which subsequently leads to a loosening of the connection. When using threaded rods, on the other hand, the threaded rods can rotate in the profile during assembly, which means that secure tension cannot be guaranteed. Tensioning devices that use wires as tensioning elements, in turn, require special tools in order to be tensioned.

Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein modulares Tragprofil zu bilden, welches die Nachteile der oben aufgeführten Konstruktionen vermeidet, indem die Verbindung der Grundprofilsegmente durch eine Spannvorrichtung gewährleistet wird, die ohne spezielle Werkzeuge sicher gespannt werden kann und sich nicht nachträglich lockert.It is the object of the present invention to form a modular support profile which avoids the disadvantages of the above-mentioned constructions by ensuring the connection of the basic profile segments by a clamping device that can be securely clamped without special tools and does not loosen afterwards.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die vorliegende Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die zumindest eine Spannvorrichtung aus zumindest einem Sperrelement und zumindest zwei Spannelementen gebildet ist, welche mit dem zumindest einen Sperrelement durch Schraubverbindungen verbunden sind, und die Grundprofilsegmente Aufnahmen aufweisen, welche das zumindest eine Sperrelement verdrehsicher aufnehmen, wobei die zumindest zwei Spannelemente mit den beiden freiliegenden Stirnflächen der zumindest zwei Grundprofilsegmente verbunden sind.According to the invention, the present object is achieved in that the at least one clamping device is formed from at least one locking element and at least two clamping elements, which are connected to the at least one locking element by screw connections, and the basic profile segments have receptacles which at least receive a locking element so that it cannot rotate, the at least two clamping elements being connected to the two exposed end faces of the at least two basic profile segments.

Hierdurch wird der Vorteil erhalten, dass die Spannelemente mittels Schraubverbindungen mit dem Sperrelement verbunden werden können, da sich das Sperrelement durch die verdrehsichere Aufnahme im Grundprofilsegment nicht beim Einschrauben und Spannen der Spannelemente verdrehen kann, und somit eine sichere Spannung gewährleistet wird. Durch den modularen Aufbau und das Vorsehen von Sperrelementen in relativ kurzen Abständen ist der Vorteil erhalten, dass die Spannelemente, bedingt durch die Schwerkraft, praktisch nicht durchbiegen und folglich eine zuverlässige Zugspannung auf die Grundprofilsegmente aufbringen.This has the advantage that the clamping elements can be connected to the locking element by means of screw connections, since the locking element cannot twist when the clamping elements are screwed in and tightened due to the anti-twist receptacle in the base profile segment, thus ensuring secure clamping. The modular structure and the provision of locking elements at relatively short intervals has the advantage that the tensioning elements practically do not bend due to gravity and consequently apply a reliable tensile stress to the basic profile segments.

Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass die Spannung der Spannvorrichtung durch die Verwendung von Schraubverbindungen mit handelsüblichen Werkzeugen durchgeführt werden kann, da die Spannelemente beispielsweise als Gewindestangen oder Gewindestifte mit aufgeschraubten Muttern, oder Schrauben ausgeführt werden können.Another advantage is that the tensioning of the tensioning device can be carried out using screw connections with commercially available tools, since the tensioning elements can be designed, for example, as threaded rods or threaded pins with nuts or screws screwed on.

Es hat sich des Weiteren als vorteilhaft erwiesen die Sperrelemente der Spannvorrichtungen an den Positionen der einander zugewandten Stirnflächen der zusammengespannten Grundprofilsegmente zu positionieren, wodurch die beiden Grundprofilsegmente im Wesentlichen übergangslos ineinander übergehen. Besonders Vorteilhaft ist hierbei, dass durch die Sperrelemente eine Versteifung an der Position der einander zugewandten Stirnflächen der Grundprofilsegmente gegenüber Querbelastungen erreicht wird.It has also proven to be advantageous to position the locking elements of the clamping devices at the positions of the facing end faces of the clamped basic profile segments, whereby the two basic profile segments merge into one another essentially without a transition. It is particularly advantageous here that the locking elements provide reinforcement at the position of the facing end faces of the basic profile segments with respect to transverse loads.

Die Enden des aus mehreren Grundprofilsegmenten bestehenden modularen Tragprofils werden in der Regel mit Abschlusskappen versehen. Ein weiterer Vorteil des vorliegenden modularen Tragprofils besteht darin, dass durch die Durchführung der Spannelemente der Spannvorrichtungen durch die Abschlusskappen diese an den Enden der Grundprofilsegmente fixiert werden und zur Kraftübertragung der Spannvorrichtung auf die Grundprofilsegmente dienen können.The ends of the modular support profile, which consists of several basic profile segments, are usually provided with end caps. A further advantage of the present modular support profile is that by passing the tensioning elements of the tensioning devices through the end caps, they are fixed at the ends of the basic profile segments and can be used to transmit power from the tensioning device to the basic profile segments.

Durch Befestigung von Stäben in den Grundprofilsegmenten, das zusammenspannen der Grundprofilsegmente mittels der Spannvorrichtung und die Verbindung der Stäbe an dem den Grundprofilsegmenten gegenüberliegenden Ende durch eine im Wesentlichen parallel zu dem Grundprofilsegment verlaufende Schiene wird ein modulares Zaunschiebetor gebildet.A modular sliding fence gate is formed by fastening rods in the basic profile segments, clamping the basic profile segments together by means of the clamping device and connecting the rods at the end opposite the basic profile segments by means of a rail running essentially parallel to the basic profile segment.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen modularen Tragprofils sowie alternative Ausführungsvarianten werden in weiterer Folge anhand der Figuren näher erläutert.

  • Figur 2 zeigt den Abschluss eines modularen Tragprofils mit vier im dargestellten Grundprofilsegment befestigten Stäben sowie einer Abschlusskappe, durch welche die Gewinde von zwei Spannelementen durchgeführt sind, die mittels Gewindemuttern gespannt werden, in einer Schrägansicht.

Advantageous configurations of the modular support profile according to the invention and alternative design variants are explained in more detail below with reference to the figures.
  • Figure 1 shows a section of a modular support profile with two clamping devices removed from the base profile segment in an oblique view.
  • Figure 2 shows the end of a modular support profile with four rods fastened in the illustrated basic profile segment as well as an end cap through which the threads of two tensioning elements are passed, which are tensioned by means of threaded nuts, in an oblique view.
  • Figure 3 shows a modular sliding fence gate consisting of two basic profile segments in which a number of rods are fastened, which are connected by a rail running parallel to the basic profile segments, in a schematic front view.

Figur 1 zeigt in einer schematischen Schrägansicht einen Abschnitt eines modularen Tragprofils 1 mit zwei aus dem Abschnitt eines in Figur 1 dargestellten Grundprofilsegments 2 entfernten Spannvorrichtungen 3. Das Grundprofilsegment 2 bildet die Basis für das modulare Tragprofil 1, in welche die Spannvorrichtungen 3 integriert werden. Die Spannvorrichtungen 3 bilden sich aus Spannelementen 4, welche mit zwischen den Spannelementen 4 liegenden Sperrelementen 5 verschraubt werden. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante sind die Sperrelemente 5, wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, als Gewindemuffen mit Sechskantprofil ausgeführt. Die Spannvorrichtungen 3 werden in Aufnahmen 6 des Grundprofilsegments 2 eingesetzt, welche in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante, wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, als Nuten im Grundprofilsegment 2 ausgeführt sind und eine an das Querschnittsprofil der Sperrelemente 5 angepasste Form aufweisen. Die Sperrelemente 5 der Spannvorrichtungen 3 werden von den Aufnahmen 6 des Grundprofilsegments 2 somit verdrehsicher aufgenommen. In alternativen Figure 1 shows a schematic oblique view of a section of a modular support profile 1 with two from the section of one in Figure 1 The basic profile segment 2 shown remote clamping devices 3. The basic profile segment 2 forms the basis for the modular support profile 1, into which the clamping devices 3 are integrated. The clamping devices 3 are formed from clamping elements 4, which are screwed to locking elements 5 located between the clamping elements 4. In a preferred embodiment, the locking elements 5, as in Figure 1 shown, designed as threaded sockets with hexagonal profile. The clamping devices 3 are used in receptacles 6 of the basic profile segment 2, which in a preferred embodiment, as in Figure 1 shown, are designed as grooves in the basic profile segment 2 and have a shape adapted to the cross-sectional profile of the locking elements 5. The locking elements 5 of the clamping devices 3 are thus received in a rotationally secure manner by the receptacles 6 of the basic profile segment 2. In alternative

Ausführungsvarianten sind andere Profilformen der Sperrelemente 5 wie beispielsweise Kantprofile oder elliptische Profile denkbar.Design variants other profile shapes of the locking elements 5 such as edge profiles or elliptical profiles are conceivable.

Die Spannvorrichtungen 4 werden mit den freiliegenden Stirnflächen der Grundprofilsegmente 2 verbunden und dort wie in Figur 2 in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante dargestellt beispielsweise mit Gewindemuttern gespannt.The clamping devices 4 are connected to the exposed end faces of the basic profile segments 2 and there as in Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment shown, for example, clamped with threaded nuts.

Die Sperrelemente 5 können an der Position von einander zugewandten Stirnflächen aufeinanderfolgender Grundprofilsegmente 2 eingesetzt werden, wodurch die Verbindung der Grundprofilsegmente 2 zusätzlich gegenüber Querbelastungen versteift wird.The locking elements 5 can be used at the position of facing end faces of successive basic profile segments 2, whereby the connection of the basic profile segments 2 is additionally stiffened against transverse loads.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante werden außerdem, wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, zwei beabstandet zueinander parallel angeordnete Spannvorrichtungen 3 verwendet, wodurch eine gleichmäßige Drucklastverteilung im modularen Tragprofil 1 zur Erhöhung der Verbindungssteifigkeit erreicht wird.In a preferred embodiment variant, as in Figure 1 shown, two spaced apart parallel clamping devices 3 are used, whereby a uniform pressure load distribution is achieved in the modular support profile 1 to increase the stiffness of the connection.

Figur 2 zeigt in einer schematischen Schrägansicht die Verbindung der Spannelemente 4 mit den freiliegenden Stirnflächen der Grundprofilsegmente 2, sowie vier in einem im Wesentlichen normalen Winkel zur Längsrichtung des Grundprofilsegments 2 in das Grundprofilsegment 2 eingesetzte Stäbe 8. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante wird die Verbindung der Spannelemente 4 mit den freiliegenden Stirnflächen der Grundprofilsegmente 2 durch eine Abschlusskappe 7 hergestellt, durch welche die Spannelemente 2 durchgeführt sind. Die Spannung der Spannvorrichtung 3 wird in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante mittels herkömmlicher Gewindemuttern durchgeführt, kann aber in alternativen Ausführungsvarianten durch die Verwendung von beispielsweise Schrauben als Spannelemente 4 realisiert werden. Hierdurch werden zugleich die Abschlusskappen 7 auf der freiliegenden Stirnfläche der Grundprofilsegmente 2 fixiert. Figure 2 shows in a schematic oblique view the connection of the clamping elements 4 with the exposed end faces of the basic profile segments 2, as well as four rods 8 inserted into the basic profile segment 2 at an essentially normal angle to the longitudinal direction of the basic profile segment 2 the exposed end faces of the basic profile segments 2 produced by an end cap 7 through which the clamping elements 2 are passed. In a preferred embodiment, the tensioning device 3 is tensioned by means of conventional threaded nuts, but in alternative embodiment versions it can be implemented by using, for example, screws as tensioning elements 4. As a result, the end caps 7 are fixed on the exposed end face of the basic profile segments 2 at the same time.

Die in Figur 2 dargestellten Stäbe 8 weisen ein quadratisches Querschnittsprofil auf. Es sind jedoch in alternativen Ausführungsvarianten beliebige andere Querschnittsprofile der Stäbe 8 wie beispielsweise oval, dreieckig, fünf- oder achteckig ebenso realisierbar wie Stäbe aus Flach- oder Bandstahl, Kombinationen der zuvor genannten, oder anderen Sonderformen zur Erzielung verschiedener optischer Erscheinungsbilder.In the Figure 2 The rods 8 shown have a square cross-sectional profile. However, any other cross-sectional profiles of the rods 8, such as oval, triangular, pentagonal or octagonal, as well as rods made of flat or strip steel, combinations of the aforementioned, or other special shapes to achieve different optical appearances, can be realized in alternative design variants.

An den freiliegenden Stirnflächen der Grundprofilsegmente 2 sind in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante die Sperrelemente 5 in den Aufnahmen 6 der Grundprofilsegmente 2 derart positioniert, dass diese in den Ebenen der freiliegenden Stirnflächen des Grundprofilsegments 2 enden. In diese werden kurze Spannelemente 4 eingeschraubt, welche durch die Abschlusskappen 7 geführt werden. Hierdurch wird eine gleichmäßige Drucklastverteilung an der Abschlusskappe 7, sowie ein sicherer Spannvorgang der Spannvorrichtung 3 erreicht. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante sind die kurzen Spannelemente 4 als Gewindestifte ausgeführt, in alternativen Ausführungsvarianten ist Verwendung von beispielsweise Schrauben als Spannelemente 4 möglich.In a preferred embodiment variant, the locking elements 5 are positioned in the receptacles 6 of the basic profile segments 2 on the exposed end faces of the basic profile segments 2 in such a way that they end in the planes of the exposed end faces of the basic profile segment 2. Short clamping elements 4, which are guided through the end caps 7, are screwed into these. In this way, a uniform pressure load distribution on the end cap 7, as well as a reliable clamping process of the clamping device 3, is achieved. In a preferred embodiment, the short clamping elements 4 are designed as threaded pins; in alternative embodiment variants, the use of, for example, screws as clamping elements 4 is possible.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante sind die Sperrelemente 5 mit Innengewinden versehen in welche die Spannelemente 4 eingeschraubt werden. In alternativen Ausführungsvarianten können die Sperrelemente 5 mit Außengewinden versehen sein, oder eine Kombination von Innen- und Außengewinden zur Anwendung kommen.In a preferred embodiment, the locking elements 5 are provided with internal threads into which the clamping elements 4 are screwed. In alternative design variants, the locking elements 5 can be provided with external threads, or a combination of internal and external threads can be used.

Die Grundprofilsegmente 2 des modularen Tragprofils 1 sind in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante aus Stahlblech durch Rollformen oder Fügen oder aus Aluminium oder Aluminiumlegierungen durch Strangpressen oder Fügen hergestellt, wodurch fertigungstechnische Vorteile erreicht werden.In a preferred embodiment variant, the basic profile segments 2 of the modular support profile 1 are produced from sheet steel by roll forming or joining or from aluminum or aluminum alloys by extrusion or joining, whereby advantages in terms of manufacturing technology are achieved.

Die Sperrelemente 5 sind in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante aus Stahl, Aluminium oder Aluminiumlegierungen hergestellt. Es sind alternative Ausführungsvarianten unter Verwendung sonstiger Metalle realsierbar.In a preferred variant, the blocking elements 5 are made of steel, aluminum or aluminum alloys. Alternative design variants can be implemented using other metals.

Durch Verbindung der in den zusammengespannten Grundprofilsegmenten 2 befestigten Stäbe 8 durch eine im Wesentlichen parallel zu den Grundprofilsegmenten 2 verlaufende Schiene 9, die den oberen Abschluss der Stäbe 8, wie in Figur 3 dargestellt bildet, und der Integration von Rollen in zumindest ein Grundprofilsegment 2 wird ein modulares Zaunschiebetor 10 gebildet. Durch die Verwendung der Spannvorrichtungen 3 wird es ermöglicht das modulare Zaunschiebetor 10 in verschiedenen Längen durch Zusammenspannen der Grundprofilsegmente 2 zu realisieren.By connecting the rods 8 fastened in the clamped-together basic profile segments 2 by a rail 9 which runs essentially parallel to the basic profile segments 2 and which forms the upper end of the rods 8, as in FIG Figure 3 forms shown, and the integration of roles in at least one basic profile segment 2, a modular sliding fence gate 10 is formed. The use of the clamping devices 3 makes it possible to realize the modular sliding fence gate 10 in different lengths by clamping the basic profile segments 2 together.

Die Integration von Rollen in das Grundprofilsegment 2 ermöglicht die Bewegbarkeit des modularen Zaunschiebetores 10, wobei die Rollen auf einer im Boden verlegten Laufschiene bewegt werden. Eine weite Möglichkeit zur Bewegung des modularen Zaunschiebetores 10 besteht in der Verwendung von Laufrollen, auf welchen die Grundprofilsegmente 2 des modularen Zaunschiebetors 10 rollen.The integration of rollers in the basic profile segment 2 enables the modular sliding fence gate 10 to be moved, the rollers being moved on a running rail laid in the floor. Another possibility for moving the modular sliding fence gate 10 is to use rollers on which the basic profile segments 2 of the modular sliding fence gate 10 roll.

Figur 3 zeigt in einer schematischen Frontalansicht ein modulares Zaunschiebetor 10 mit zwei zusammengefügten Grundprofilsegmenten 2, einer Anzahl von Stäben 8, sowie einer an den Grundprofilsegmenten 2 gegenüberliegenden Ende der Stäbe 8 positionierten Schiene 9. Durch unterschiedliche Positionierung der Schiene 9 zur Verbindung der Stäbe 8 in verschiedenen Abständen zum Grundprofilsegment 2 können in alternativen Ausführungsvarianten unterschiedliche Erscheinungsformen des modularen Zaunschiebetors 10 realisiert werden. Figure 3 shows a schematic front view of a modular sliding fence gate 10 with two joined basic profile segments 2, a number of bars 8, and a rail 9 positioned on the base profile segments 2 opposite end of the bars 8 by different positioning of the rail 9 to connect the bars 8 at different distances To the basic profile segment 2, different forms of appearance of the modular fence sliding gate 10 can be realized in alternative design variants.

Durch die Verbindung des modularen Zaunschiebetores 10 mit einem Antriebssystem kann der Vorgang des Öffnens und Schließens automatisiert werden.By connecting the modular sliding fence gate 10 to a drive system, the process of opening and closing can be automated.

Es kann erwähnt werden, dass das modulare Tragprofil 1 auch dazu verwendet werden kann Tragwerke oder Fachwerke für Gebäude zu bilden, sowie im Gerüstbau eingesetzt werden kann. Weitere Anwendungsgebiete erschließen sich dem Fachmann durch diesen beispielhaften Verweis.It can be mentioned that the modular support profile 1 can also be used to form supporting structures or frameworks for buildings, and can also be used in scaffolding. Further areas of application are made accessible to the person skilled in the art through this exemplary reference.
