Definitions
- the invention relates to an enveloping structure for a car body for a vehicle, and to a method for producing an enveloping structure.
- Shell structures of car bodies are often formed from double-layer structures such as double-walled aluminum extrusions.
- double-walled structure ensures sufficient strength and low weight at the same time.
- the outer and inner walls of the extruded aluminum profiles are usually connected to one another via struts, which transmit the forces introduced into the enveloping structure or distribute them to the outer and inner walls.
- the extruded profiles are produced in the required length in an extrusion process and then placed on top of one another and welded together to produce the enveloping structure, i.e. the car body floors, walls and ceilings. Due to the double-walled design of the extruded aluminum profiles, it is necessary for both the outer and inner walls of the extruded profiles placed on top of each other to be connected to one another in a force-conducting manner. This usually takes place via weld seams, which have to be applied both to the outside and to the inside of the car body during manufacture of the car body.
- a problem in the production of car bodies using welds on both sides is the limited space available in the interior of the car body, which makes automated production of the welds by welding robots more difficult.
- the welding process that takes place from the inside makes it difficult or prevents possible pre-assembly of components on the enveloping structure elements, on the one hand because of the space required for welding and on the other hand because of the heat input caused by welding, which can damage these components.
- the DE 10 2007 048 759 A1 and the US 2003/0042293 A1 disclose a method for manufacturing a car body, in which two enveloping structural elements positioned relative to one another in an assembly position together form an access opening through which the inner walls of the enveloping structural elements can be welded to one another from outside the car body. After this Welding the inner walls closes this access opening with a metallic cover. The cover is then welded to the two skin structural elements and forms part of the structure of the skin of the car body.
- a disadvantage of the known solutions for producing an enveloping structure is the effort required. Additional components must be provided and welded to the skin structure to provide the space required for the inner wall weld.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an enveloping structure for a car body that is simple and inexpensive to produce.
- this object is achieved with an enveloping structure according to claim 1 . Furthermore, the object is achieved with a method for producing an enveloping structure according to claim 15. Advantageous developments of the invention are contained in the dependent claims.
- the solution to the problem for an enveloping structure is that the first enveloping structure element is provided with an extension that extends between the outer wall and the inner wall in an insertion direction, and the second enveloping structure element is provided with a receptacle that opens between the outer wall and the inner wall counter to the insertion direction Insertion of the extension.
- the extension includes a form-fitting means and the receptacle is filled with a filling material.
- the extension accommodated in the receptacle and the filling material surrounding the form-fitting means at least in sections thus produce a form-fitting connection.
- the first shell structure element and the second shell structure element are connected to one another by a weld seam.
- a second form-fitting connection acting parallel to the weld seam, is produced between the first and second enveloping structure element via the form-fitting means next to the weld seam, only one weld seam and only one welding process is required.
- a second weld seam can be dispensed with. The welding process can take place from only one side of the enveloping structure, in particular from the outside.
- the weld seam and the form-fitting connection are preferably arranged at a great distance from one another and/or on opposite sides of a central plane of the enveloping structure.
- the form-fitting connection is preferably arranged close to an edge region of the enveloping structure, in particular on an outside of the enveloping structure, which faces outwards when the car body is installed.
- the extension of the first enveloping structure element is first inserted into the receptacle of the second enveloping structure element.
- the receptacle of the second enveloping structure element is then filled with a filling material that hardens in particular at low temperatures or cold.
- the first structural envelope element is welded to the second structural envelope element on one side, i.e. from one side. Only one weld seam is preferably produced.
- Welding of the structural shell elements can take place before or after the filling of the receptacle, with welding of the structural shell elements after the receptacle has been filled and the filling material has hardened being preferred because the structural shell elements are thus already fixed in their final position during the welding process.
- the hardened filling material finally forms a form fit with the form fit means located on the extension.
- the enveloping structure according to the invention can be suitable for a car body of a railway vehicle, or for other vehicles such as buses.
- the extension can have an indentation which extends essentially perpendicularly to the direction of insertion and which forms the form-fitting means.
- the form-fitting means can be formed by an elevation or a through-opening.
- the extension can have an undercut into which the filling material can flow. After the extension has been inserted into the receptacle, the filling material can be conveyed into the receptacle under pressure in order to ensure that the filling material completely surrounds or borders the form-fitting means.
- the filling material can also form a form fit with the receptacle.
- the receptacle can have a receptacle opening for inserting the extension.
- the receptacle preferably widens in the insertion direction, starting from the receptacle opening, or the receptacle tapers in the opposite direction to the insertion direction.
- a filling material that has been poured into the receptacle and has hardened cannot be pushed out through the receptacle opening and forms a form fit with the receptacle.
- At least one inner wall of the receptacle can be at a distance from the extension or the form-fitting means.
- the distance ensures that the filling material completely surrounds the form-fitting means and forms an effective form-fitting connection with it.
- the form-fitting means is at a distance from the inner wall or walls of the receptacle over its entire circumference.
- the receptacle is designed in such a way that the filling material can be conveyed into the receptacle under pressure.
- the second enveloping structure element can be provided with a filling opening which penetrates through the outer wall or inner wall of the second enveloping structure element and leads into the receptacle.
- several filling openings can be provided.
- the filling openings can preferably be arranged in a transverse direction of the enveloping structure element at the same height as the form-fitting means.
- the insertion direction in which the extension is inserted into the receptacle runs essentially parallel to the outer wall and/or to the inner wall of the first enveloping structure element.
- the extension is accommodated in the receptacle when the outer walls and/or inner walls of the enveloping structure elements are aligned with one another.
- the extension can thus be introduced into the receptacle or positioned in the receptacle by aligning the outer and/or inner walls.
- the receptacle In order to predominantly compress the filling material in the hardened state and to reduce tensile and shearing forces, the receptacle can widen conically or funnel-shaped starting from the receptacle opening.
- the receptacle acts as a mold for the filling material.
- the filling material can thus form a filling body that is conical at least in sections in the hardened state.
- a tensile force acting on the extension or the form-fitting means can thus continue via the conical surface of the filling body as a compressive force on the inner surface of the receptacle, which is also conical.
- the filling material can be adhesively bonded to the extension and/or the receptacle.
- the adhesive connection can be made directly over the filling material, e.g. by using a curing adhesive as the filling material.
- the enveloping structure is preferably welded on the outside.
- the respective other side preferably the inside of the enveloping structure, is positively connected via the extension in the first enveloping structure element, the receptacle in the second enveloping structure element and the filling material in the receptacle.
- the form fit can be produced at least partially via the extension and a receiving opening of the receptacle.
- the receiving opening, into which the extension can be inserted can have a width that is only slightly larger than the extension, if possible, in order to enable the transmission of force with as little play as possible.
- the weld seam can be arranged on mutually opposite surfaces of the inner wall or the outer wall of the first structural envelope element and the second structural envelope element. Opposite surfaces of the outer walls of the first and second shell structure element are preferably welded to one another, while opposite surfaces of the inner walls have no weld seams. In this way, the integral connection of the two enveloping structure elements can be produced solely from the outside.
- the weld seam can be applied to the enveloping structure from the outside in order to be able to provide sufficient space for welding devices or welding robots.
- the first and/or second enveloping structure element are formed from extruded profiles, in particular aluminum extruded profiles. These can be produced efficiently, while high strength can be achieved with low weight.
- the first structural shell element including the extension and/or the second structural shell element including the receptacle is formed from an extruded profile.
- Extension and/or receptacle can correspondingly extend over the entire length of the respective extruded profile.
- this is preferably designed as a solid profile.
- a weld pool safety device can be provided.
- the weld pool backup can preferably be formed by the first or second enveloping structure element and in particular can be part of an aluminum extruded profile.
- the first or the second enveloping structure element can have an extension which engages behind the weld seam from the inside and which is suitable for forming a weld pool backup.
- the extension can preferably overlap the parting line between two walls to be welded of the first and second enveloping structure element.
- a material that hardens at low temperatures is preferably provided as the filling material.
- the filling material is liquid in a processing state at relatively low temperatures, in particular at temperatures below 300°C, preferably at temperatures below 200°C, most preferably at temperatures below 100°C.
- the filler material can be liquid in a processing state at temperatures below 40°C.
- the filling material can be designed to have an adhesive effect in order to adhesively fasten the extension in the receptacle.
- the extension or the form-fitting means can be held in the receptacle in a form-fitting and adhesive manner.
- the filling material may comprise a cold-setting plastic such as a thermoset.
- fibers can be provided in the filling material in order to form a high-tensile fiber composite.
- a pressure-resistant component can be added, such as sand, in particular quartz sand, ceramic or metal, in order to increase the pressure resistance of the filling material.
- the filling material can have a component that expands during curing.
- a rail vehicle according to the invention has one of the above-described embodiments of an enveloping structure according to the invention.
- the first structural envelope element 2 has an outer wall 4 and an inner wall 5
- the second structural envelope element 3 has an outer wall 6 and an inner wall 7.
- Outer walls 4, 6 and inner walls 5, 7 are connected to one another via struts 22, 23, which are connected between outer walls 4, 6 and inner walls 5, 7 transmitted forces occurring.
- the struts 22, 23 can form a framework structure between the outer and inner walls. You can run horizontally or diagonally in the further course of the shell structure elements 2, 3.
- the first enveloping structure element 2 and the second enveloping structure element 3 are designed in such a way that they are placed on top of one another or plugged into one another in an assembly position and are aligned by guide surfaces.
- an extension 8 is provided on the first structural envelope element 2 and a receptacle 9 on the second structural envelope element 3 .
- the receptacle 9 has a receptacle opening 16 through which the extension 8 can be inserted into the receptacle 9 .
- the extension 8 is part of the extruded profile from which the first structural envelope element 2 is formed and extends over the entire length of the structural envelope element 2.
- the receiving opening 16 is correspondingly part of the aluminum extruded profile, from which the second shell structure element 3 is formed, and extends over the entire length of the second shell structure element 3.
- the width B of the receiving opening 16 is only slightly wider than the width b of the extension 8.
- the extension 8 therefore acts together with the accommodating opening 16 as a guide for the first enveloping structure element 2 in the second enveloping structure element 3, wherein the guide restricts the movement of the first enveloping structure element 2 relative to the second enveloping structure element 3 in a transverse direction Q.
- a clearance fit can be provided between the extension 8 and the receiving opening 16 .
- Support surfaces 17 are provided on the first structural envelope element 2 on both sides of the extension 8
- support surfaces 18 are provided on the second structural envelope element 3 on both sides of the receiving opening 16.
- the first structural envelope element 2 can now be moved onto the second structural envelope element 3 until the extension 8 reaches the receptacle 9 and the bearing surfaces 17 come to rest on the bearing surfaces 18 .
- First and second shell structure element 2, 3 are designed to be welded together.
- a welding surface 19 for receiving a weld seam is arranged on the outer wall 4 of the first enveloping structure element 2, and a welding surface 20 is arranged on the second enveloping structure element 3.
- the welding surfaces 19 and 20 run at an angle to the outer walls 4, 6, so that when the enveloping structure elements 2, 3 an externally accessible depression for receiving the welding material is created.
- the first enveloping structure element 2 also has a weld pool safety device 21, which is used to catch welding material escaping during the welding process.
- the weld pool backup 21 is part of the first enveloping structure element 2 and is produced with it in one operation using the extrusion process.
- the weld pool backup 21 extends in the direction of insertion E and, when the enveloping structure is assembled, overlaps the welding joint between the enveloping structure elements 2, 3.
- a support surface 12 provided on the weld pool backup 21 on the first enveloping structure element 2 is arranged opposite a support surface 13 on the second enveloping structure element 3 when the enveloping structure is assembled.
- the support surfaces 12, 13, like the extension 8 and the receptacle 9, function as guides and produce a partial positive fit when the enveloping structure is assembled, which defines the position of the enveloping structure elements 2, 3 before establishing a form-fitting or material-fitting relationship in the insertion direction.
- a filling opening 14 is provided in the inner wall 7 of the second enveloping structure element 3 .
- the filling opening 14 is used to introduce filling material into the receptacle 9 in order to create a form fit with the first enveloping structure element 2 via the form-fitting means 10 on the extension 8 .
- the filling material can be supplied under pressure through the opening 14 in order to ensure that the receptacle 9 is completely filled and, in the hardened state of the filling material, that there is a complete form fit with the form-fitting means 10 .
- the filling material is preferably designed to be cold curable or hardenable at low temperatures in order to avoid additional thermal stress on the second enveloping structure element 3 .
- FIG. 2 shows a section of an assembled enveloping structure, the enveloping structure elements 2, 3 of which are connected to one another in a form-fitting and material-locking manner according to the invention in order to form an enveloping structure 1.
- the form fit between the first structural envelope element 2 and the second structural envelope element 3 is achieved via the extension 8 with the form-fit means 10 and the filling material 24 accommodated in the receptacle 9 .
- the filling material 24 can be conveyed into the receptacle 9 via the filling opening 14 . Because the filling material 24 is fed in under pressure, it is ensured that the form-fitting means 10 is ultimately completely surrounded by the filling material 24 .
- the filling material 24 can in particular penetrate into the indentation 15 of the form-fitting means 10 . If the filling material 24 then hardens, it is connected in a form-fitting manner to the form-fitting means 10 . At the same time, the filling material 24 in the hardened state is positively connected to the second enveloping structure element 3 via the receptacle 9 .
- the receptacle 9 tapers upwards, ie counter to the direction of insertion E.
- Hardened filling material 24 located in the receptacle consequently also forms a form fit with the receptacle 9 and cannot be displaced counter to the direction of insertion. Furthermore, part of the filling material 24 can remain in the filling opening after the filling process. Above the filling material 24 in the filling opening 14 creates a further form fit when the filling material 24 hardens.
- the filling material 24 can have an adhesive effect and the first structural envelope element 2 via the extension 8 adhesively connect to the second shell structure element 3 .
- the two outer walls 4, 6 of the shell structure elements 2, 3 are connected to one another by a weld seam 11.
- the weld seam 11 forms a material connection that acts parallel to the form-fitting connection 25 described above.
- the weld seam 11 and the form-fitting connection 25 together form a sufficiently rigid connection that enables an envelope structure 1 to be constructed with high rigidity.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hüllstruktur für einen Wagenkasten für ein Fahrzeug, sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Hüllstruktur.The invention relates to an enveloping structure for a car body for a vehicle, and to a method for producing an enveloping structure.
Hüllstrukturen von Wagenkästen werden häufig aus doppellagigen Strukturen wie doppelwandigen Aluminiumstrangpressprofilen gebildet. Der doppelwandige Aufbau dient bei Wagenkästen aus Aluminium der Herstellung einer ausreichenden Festigkeit bei gleichzeitig geringem Gewicht. Außen- und Innenwände der Aluminiumstrangpressprofile sind dazu üblicherweise über Streben miteinander verbunden, die in die Hüllstruktur eingeleitete Kräfte weiterleiten bzw. auf die Außen- und Innenwände verteilen.Shell structures of car bodies are often formed from double-layer structures such as double-walled aluminum extrusions. In the case of aluminum car bodies, the double-walled structure ensures sufficient strength and low weight at the same time. For this purpose, the outer and inner walls of the extruded aluminum profiles are usually connected to one another via struts, which transmit the forces introduced into the enveloping structure or distribute them to the outer and inner walls.
Die Strangpressprofile werden in der erforderlichen Länge im Strangpressverfahren hergestellt und anschließend zur Herstellung der Hüllstruktur, also von Wagenkastenböden, -wänden und -decken, aufeinandergesetzt und miteinander verschweißt. Aufgrund der doppelwandigen Ausführung der Aluminiumstrangpressprofile ist es erforderlich, dass sowohl die Außen- als auch die Innenwände der aufeinander gesetzten Strangpressprofile kraftleitend miteinander verbunden werden. Dies geschieht üblicherweise über Schweißnähte, die bei der Herstellung des Wagenkastens sowohl von der Außenseite als auch von der Innenseite des Wagenkastens aufgebracht werden müssen.The extruded profiles are produced in the required length in an extrusion process and then placed on top of one another and welded together to produce the enveloping structure, i.e. the car body floors, walls and ceilings. Due to the double-walled design of the extruded aluminum profiles, it is necessary for both the outer and inner walls of the extruded profiles placed on top of each other to be connected to one another in a force-conducting manner. This usually takes place via weld seams, which have to be applied both to the outside and to the inside of the car body during manufacture of the car body.
Ein Problem bei der Herstellung von Wagenkästen über beidseitige Schweißnähte ist das geringe Raumangebot im Innenraum des Wagenkastens, das die automatisierte Herstellung der Schweißnähte durch Schweißroboter erschwert. Außerdem erschwert oder verhindert der von Innen erfolgende Schweißvorgang eine mögliche Vormontage von Bauteilen an den Hüllstrukturelementen, zum einen wegen des beim Schweißen erforderlichen Raumbedarfs, zum anderen wegen des durch das Schweißen erfolgenden Wärmeeintrags, der diese Bauteile beschädigen kann.A problem in the production of car bodies using welds on both sides is the limited space available in the interior of the car body, which makes automated production of the welds by welding robots more difficult. In addition, the welding process that takes place from the inside makes it difficult or prevents possible pre-assembly of components on the enveloping structure elements, on the one hand because of the space required for welding and on the other hand because of the heat input caused by welding, which can damage these components.
Im Stand der Technik werden Lösungen vorgeschlagen, die ein Verschweißen von Hüllstrukturelementen ausschließlich von der Außenseite ermöglichen.In the state of the art, solutions are proposed which allow the structural envelope elements to be welded exclusively from the outside.
Die
Ein ähnliches Verfahren zeigt die
Nachteilig an den bekannten Lösungen zur Herstellung einer Hüllstruktur ist der erforderliche Aufwand. Es müssen zusätzliche Bauteile bereitgestellt und mit der Hüllstruktur verschweißt werden, um den für die Verschweißung der Innenwand erforderlichen Raum zu schaffen.A disadvantage of the known solutions for producing an enveloping structure is the effort required. Additional components must be provided and welded to the skin structure to provide the space required for the inner wall weld.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine einfach und kostengünstig herzustellende Hüllstruktur für einen Wagenkasten bereitzustellen.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing an enveloping structure for a car body that is simple and inexpensive to produce.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer Hüllstruktur nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Weiterhin wird die Aufgabe mit einem Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Hüllstruktur nach Anspruch 15 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.According to the invention, this object is achieved with an enveloping structure according to
Erfindungsgemäß besteht die Lösung der Aufgabe für eine Hüllstruktur darin, dass das erste Hüllstrukturelement mit einem sich zwischen der Außenwand und der Innenwand in eine Einführrichtung erstreckenden Fortsatz versehen ist und das zweite Hüllstrukturelement mit einer sich zwischen der Außenwand und der Innenwand entgegen der Einführrichtung öffnenden Aufnahme zum Einführen des Fortsatzes. Der Fortsatz umfasst ein Formschlussmittel und die Aufnahme ist mit einem Füllmaterial befüllt. Der in die Aufnahme aufgenommene Fortsatz und das das Formschlussmittel wenigstens abschnittsweise umgebende Füllmaterial stellen somit einen Formschluss her. Zusätzlich sind das erste Hüllstrukturelement und das zweite Hüllstrukturelement durch eine Schweißnaht miteinander verbunden.According to the invention, the solution to the problem for an enveloping structure is that the first enveloping structure element is provided with an extension that extends between the outer wall and the inner wall in an insertion direction, and the second enveloping structure element is provided with a receptacle that opens between the outer wall and the inner wall counter to the insertion direction Insertion of the extension. The extension includes a form-fitting means and the receptacle is filled with a filling material. The extension accommodated in the receptacle and the filling material surrounding the form-fitting means at least in sections thus produce a form-fitting connection. In addition, the first shell structure element and the second shell structure element are connected to one another by a weld seam.
Indem über das Formschlussmittel neben der Schweißnaht eine zweite, parallel zur Schweißnaht wirkende formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen erstem und zweitem Hüllstrukturelement hergestellt wird, ist nur eine Schweißnaht und nur ein Schweißvorgang erforderlich. Auf eine zweite Schweißnaht kann verzichtet werden. Der Schweißvorgang kann von nur einer Seite der Hüllstruktur, insbesondere von außen erfolgen.Because a second form-fitting connection, acting parallel to the weld seam, is produced between the first and second enveloping structure element via the form-fitting means next to the weld seam, only one weld seam and only one welding process is required. A second weld seam can be dispensed with. The welding process can take place from only one side of the enveloping structure, in particular from the outside.
Für eine gute Kraftübertragung zwischen den Hüllstrukturelementen bzw. zur bestmöglichen Übertragung auftretender Biegemomente sind die Schweißnaht und die formschlüssige Verbindung bevorzugt weit voneinander entfernt angeordnet und/oder auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten einer Mittenebene der Hüllstruktur. Vorzugsweise ist die formschlüssige Verbindung nahe an einem Randbereich der Hüllstruktur angeordnet, insbesondere an einer Außenseite der Hüllstruktur, die bei montiertem Wagenkasten nach außenweist.For good power transmission between the enveloping structure elements or for the best possible transmission of bending moments that occur, the weld seam and the form-fitting connection are preferably arranged at a great distance from one another and/or on opposite sides of a central plane of the enveloping structure. The form-fitting connection is preferably arranged close to an edge region of the enveloping structure, in particular on an outside of the enveloping structure, which faces outwards when the car body is installed.
In dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Hüllstruktur für einen Wagenkasten wird nach dem Bereitstellen eines ersten und eines zweiten Hüllstrukturelements zunächst der Fortsatz des ersten Hüllstrukturelements in die Aufnahme des zweiten Hüllstrukturelements eingeführt. Anschließend erfolgt eine Befüllung der Aufnahme des zweiten Hüllstrukturelements mit einem insbesondere bei geringen Temperaturen oder kalt aushärtenden Füllmaterial. Es wird zudem das erste Hüllstrukturelements mit dem zweiten Hüllstrukturelement einseitig, d.h. von einer Seite verschweißt. Bevorzugt wird nur eine Schweißnaht erzeugt.In the method according to the invention for producing an enveloping structure for a car body, after the provision of a first and a second enveloping structure element, the extension of the first enveloping structure element is first inserted into the receptacle of the second enveloping structure element. The receptacle of the second enveloping structure element is then filled with a filling material that hardens in particular at low temperatures or cold. In addition, the first structural envelope element is welded to the second structural envelope element on one side, i.e. from one side. Only one weld seam is preferably produced.
Das Verschweißen der Hüllstrukturelemente kann vor oder nach der Befüllung der Aufnahme erfolgen, wobei ein Verschweißen der Hüllstrukturelemente nach der Befüllung der Aufnahme und dem Aushärten des Füllmaterials bevorzugt wird, weil die Hüllstrukturelemente somit bereits während des Schweißvorgangs in ihrer endgültigen Position fixiert sind. Das ausgehärtete Füllmaterial bildet schließlich einen Formschluss mit dem an dem Fortsatz befindlichen Formschlussmittel.Welding of the structural shell elements can take place before or after the filling of the receptacle, with welding of the structural shell elements after the receptacle has been filled and the filling material has hardened being preferred because the structural shell elements are thus already fixed in their final position during the welding process. The hardened filling material finally forms a form fit with the form fit means located on the extension.
Die erfindungsgemäße Hüllstruktur kann für einen Wagenkasten eines Schienenfahrzeugs geeignet sein, oder für andere Fahrzeuge wie z.B. Busse.The enveloping structure according to the invention can be suitable for a car body of a railway vehicle, or for other vehicles such as buses.
Der Fortsatz kann eine sich im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Einführrichtung erstreckende Einbuchtung aufweisen, die das Formschlussmittel bildet. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann das Formschlussmittel von einer Erhöhung oder einer Durchgangsöffnung gebildet sein.The extension can have an indentation which extends essentially perpendicularly to the direction of insertion and which forms the form-fitting means. Alternatively or additionally, the form-fitting means can be formed by an elevation or a through-opening.
Der Fortsatz kann eine Hinterschneidung aufweisen, in die das Füllmaterial hineinfließen kann. Nach dem Einführen des Fortsatzes in die Aufnahme kann das Füllmaterial unter Druck in die Aufnahme befördert werden, um sicherzustellen, dass das Füllmaterial das Formschlussmittel vollständig umgibt bzw. an dieses angrenzt.The extension can have an undercut into which the filling material can flow. After the extension has been inserted into the receptacle, the filling material can be conveyed into the receptacle under pressure in order to ensure that the filling material completely surrounds or borders the form-fitting means.
Des Weiteren kann das Füllmaterial auch mit der Aufnahme einen Formschluss bilden. Die Aufnahme kann eine Aufnahmeöffnung zum Einführen des Fortsatzes aufweisen. Bevorzugt erweitert sich die Aufnahme ausgehend von der Aufnahmeöffnung in Einführrichtung oder die Aufnahme verjüngt sich entgegen der Einführrichtung. Ein in die Aufnahme eingefülltes und ausgehärtetes Füllmaterial kann somit nicht durch die Aufnahmeöffnung herausgedrückt werden und bildet mit der Aufnahme einen Formschluss.Furthermore, the filling material can also form a form fit with the receptacle. The receptacle can have a receptacle opening for inserting the extension. The receptacle preferably widens in the insertion direction, starting from the receptacle opening, or the receptacle tapers in the opposite direction to the insertion direction. A filling material that has been poured into the receptacle and has hardened cannot be pushed out through the receptacle opening and forms a form fit with the receptacle.
Gemäß einer zweckmäßigen Variante der Erfindung kann wenigstens eine Innenwand der Aufnahme von dem Fortsatz oder dem Formschlussmittel beabstandet sein. Durch den Abstand ist gewährleistet, dass das Füllmaterial das Formschlussmittel vollständig umgibt und mit diesem einen wirksamen Formschluss bildet. Idealerweise ist das Formschlussmittel an seinem gesamten Umfang von der Innenwand bzw. den Innenwänden der Aufnahme beabstandet.According to an expedient variant of the invention, at least one inner wall of the receptacle can be at a distance from the extension or the form-fitting means. The distance ensures that the filling material completely surrounds the form-fitting means and forms an effective form-fitting connection with it. Ideally, the form-fitting means is at a distance from the inner wall or walls of the receptacle over its entire circumference.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Hüllstruktur ist die Aufnahme derart gestaltet, dass das Füllmaterial unter Druck in die Aufnahme gefördert werden kann. Das zweite Hüllstrukturelement kann mit einer die Außenwand oder Innenwand des zweiten Hüllstrukturelements durchdringenden, in die Aufnahme führenden Einfüllöffnung versehen sein. Um bei längeren Hüllstrukturelementen die Aufnahme gleichmäßig und vollständig befüllen zu können, können mehrere Einfüllöffnungen vorgesehen sein. Die Einfüllöffnungen können vorzugsweise in einer Querrichtung des Hüllstrukturelementes auf gleicher Höhe wie das Formschlussmittel angeordnet sein.In a preferred embodiment of the enveloping structure, the receptacle is designed in such a way that the filling material can be conveyed into the receptacle under pressure. The second enveloping structure element can be provided with a filling opening which penetrates through the outer wall or inner wall of the second enveloping structure element and leads into the receptacle. In order to be able to fill the receptacle evenly and completely in the case of longer enveloping structure elements, several filling openings can be provided. The filling openings can preferably be arranged in a transverse direction of the enveloping structure element at the same height as the form-fitting means.
Für eine einfache Montierbarkeit der Hüllstruktur verläuft die Einführrichtung, in der der Fortsatz in die Aufnahme eingeführt wird, im Wesentlichen parallel zur Außenwand und/oder zur Innenwand des ersten Hüllstrukturelements.For easy assembly of the enveloping structure, the insertion direction in which the extension is inserted into the receptacle runs essentially parallel to the outer wall and/or to the inner wall of the first enveloping structure element.
Idealerweise ist der Fortsatz bei fluchtend zueinander ausgerichteten Außenwänden und/oder Innenwänden der Hüllstrukturelemente in die Aufnahme aufgenommen. Somit kann über die Ausrichtung der Außen-und/oder Innenwände der Fortsatz in die Aufnahme eingeführt bzw. in der Aufnahme positioniert werden.Ideally, the extension is accommodated in the receptacle when the outer walls and/or inner walls of the enveloping structure elements are aligned with one another. The extension can thus be introduced into the receptacle or positioned in the receptacle by aligning the outer and/or inner walls.
Um das Füllmaterial in ausgehärtetem Zustand vorwiegend auf Druck zu belasten und Zugund Scherkräfte zu verringern, kann die Aufnahme sich ausgehend von der Aufnahmeöffnung konisch oder trichterförmig erweitern. Die Aufnahme wirkt als Gussform für das Füllmaterial. Damit kann das Füllmaterial in ausgehärtetem Zustand einen zumindest abschnittsweise kegelförmigen Füllkörper bilden. Eine auf den Fortsatz bzw. das Formschlussmittel wirkende Zugkraft kann sich somit über die konische Fläche des Füllkörpers als Druckkraft auf die ebenso konische Innenfläche der Aufnahme fortsetzen.In order to predominantly compress the filling material in the hardened state and to reduce tensile and shearing forces, the receptacle can widen conically or funnel-shaped starting from the receptacle opening. The receptacle acts as a mold for the filling material. The filling material can thus form a filling body that is conical at least in sections in the hardened state. A tensile force acting on the extension or the form-fitting means can thus continue via the conical surface of the filling body as a compressive force on the inner surface of the receptacle, which is also conical.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann das Füllmaterial adhäsiv mit dem Fortsatz und/oder der Aufnahme verbunden sein. Die adhäsive Verbindung kann unmittelbar über das Füllmaterial hergestellt sein, z.B. indem ein aushärtender Klebstoff als Füllmaterial verwendet wird.Alternatively or additionally, the filling material can be adhesively bonded to the extension and/or the receptacle. The adhesive connection can be made directly over the filling material, e.g. by using a curing adhesive as the filling material.
Mit der Erfindung ist nur eine Schweißnaht erforderlich, um die Hüllstruktur einseitig zu verschweißen. Bevorzugt ist die Hüllstruktur auf der Außenseite verschweißt. Die jeweils andere Seite, vorzugsweise die Innenseite der Hüllstruktur, ist über den Fortsatz in dem ersten Hüllstrukturelement, die Aufnahme in dem zweiten Hüllstrukturelement und das Füllmaterial in der Aufnahme formschlüssig verbunden. In einer quer zur Einführrichtung verlaufenden Querrichtung kann der Formschluss zumindest teilweise über den Fortsatz und eine Aufnahmeöffnung der Aufnahme hergestellt sein. Die Aufnahmeöffnung, in die der Fortsatz eingesetzt sein kann, kann eine möglichst nur geringfügig größere Breite als der Fortsatz aufweisen, um eine möglichst spielfreie Kraftübertragung zu ermöglichen.With the invention, only one weld seam is required to weld the enveloping structure on one side. The enveloping structure is preferably welded on the outside. The respective other side, preferably the inside of the enveloping structure, is positively connected via the extension in the first enveloping structure element, the receptacle in the second enveloping structure element and the filling material in the receptacle. In a transverse direction running transversely to the direction of insertion, the form fit can be produced at least partially via the extension and a receiving opening of the receptacle. The receiving opening, into which the extension can be inserted, can have a width that is only slightly larger than the extension, if possible, in order to enable the transmission of force with as little play as possible.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung kann die Schweißnaht an einander gegenüberliegenden Flächen der Innenwand oder der Außenwand des ersten Hüllstrukturelements und des zweiten Hüllstrukturelements angeordnet sein. Bevorzugt sind gegenüberliegende Flächen der Außenwände von erstem und zweitem Hüllstrukturelement miteinander verschweißt, während gegenüberliegende Flächen der Innenwände keine Schweißnähte aufweisen. Damit kann die stoffschlüssige Verbindung der beiden Hüllstrukturelemente allein von außen angefertigt werden. Die Schweißnaht kann von außen auf die Hüllstruktur aufgebracht sein, um ausreichend Raum für Schweißvorrichtungen oder Schweißroboter zur Verfügung stellen zu können.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the weld seam can be arranged on mutually opposite surfaces of the inner wall or the outer wall of the first structural envelope element and the second structural envelope element. Opposite surfaces of the outer walls of the first and second shell structure element are preferably welded to one another, while opposite surfaces of the inner walls have no weld seams. In this way, the integral connection of the two enveloping structure elements can be produced solely from the outside. The weld seam can be applied to the enveloping structure from the outside in order to be able to provide sufficient space for welding devices or welding robots.
Gemäß einer zweckmäßigen Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind erstes und/oder zweites Hüllstrukturelement von Strangpressprofilen, insbesondere Aluminiumstrangpressprofilen gebildet. Diese lassen sich effizient herstellen, wobei bei geringem Gewicht eine hohe Festigkeit erreicht werden kann.According to an expedient development of the invention, the first and/or second enveloping structure element are formed from extruded profiles, in particular aluminum extruded profiles. These can be produced efficiently, while high strength can be achieved with low weight.
In einer bevorzugten Variante der Erfindung ist das erste Hüllstrukturelement einschließlich dem Fortsatz und/oder das zweite Hüllstrukturelement einschließlich der Aufnahme von einem Strangpressprofil gebildet. Fortsatz und/oder Aufnahme können sich entsprechend über die gesamte Länge des jeweiligen Strangpressprofils erstrecken. Um auch das Formschlussmittel gemeinsam mit dem Hüllstrukturelement im Strangpressverfahren herstellen zu können, ist dieses bevorzugt als Vollkörperprofil ausgestaltet.In a preferred variant of the invention, the first structural shell element including the extension and/or the second structural shell element including the receptacle is formed from an extruded profile. Extension and/or receptacle can correspondingly extend over the entire length of the respective extruded profile. In order to also be able to produce the form-fitting means together with the enveloping structure element in the extrusion process, this is preferably designed as a solid profile.
Um während des Schweißens eine unkontrollierte Ausbreitung des Schweißmediums zu verhindern, kann eine Schweißbadsicherung vorgesehen sein. Die Schweißbadsicherung kann vorzugsweise von erstem oder zweitem Hüllstrukturelement gebildet und insbesondere Teil eines Aluminiumstrangpressprofils sein. So kann das erste oder das zweite Hüllstrukturelement einen die Schweißnaht von innen hintergreifenden Fortsatz aufweisen, der geeignet ist, eine Schweißbadsicherung zu bilden. Der Fortsatz kann bevorzugt die Trennfuge zwischen zwei zu verschweißenden Wänden von erstem und zweitem Hüllstrukturelement überlappen.In order to prevent an uncontrolled spread of the welding medium during welding, a weld pool safety device can be provided. The weld pool backup can preferably be formed by the first or second enveloping structure element and in particular can be part of an aluminum extruded profile. Thus, the first or the second enveloping structure element can have an extension which engages behind the weld seam from the inside and which is suitable for forming a weld pool backup. The extension can preferably overlap the parting line between two walls to be welded of the first and second enveloping structure element.
Als Füllmaterial ist bevorzugt ein bei geringen Temperaturen, z.B. bei Raumtemperatur oder kalt aushärtendes Material vorgesehen. Das Füllmaterial ist in einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung in einem Verarbeitungszustand bei verhältnismäßig geringen Temperaturen flüssig, insbesondere bei Temperaturen unter 300°C, vorzugsweise bei Temperaturen unter 200°C, äußerst vorzugsweise bei Temperaturen unter 100°C. Alternativ kann das Füllmaterial in einem Verarbeitungszustand bei Temperaturen unter 40°C flüssig sein.A material that hardens at low temperatures, e.g. at room temperature or cold, is preferably provided as the filling material. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the filling material is liquid in a processing state at relatively low temperatures, in particular at temperatures below 300°C, preferably at temperatures below 200°C, most preferably at temperatures below 100°C. Alternatively, the filler material can be liquid in a processing state at temperatures below 40°C.
Das Füllmaterial kann adhäsiv wirkend gestaltet sein, um den Fortsatz in der Aufnahme adhäsiv zu befestigen. Der Fortsatz bzw. das Formschlussmittel können formschlüssig und adhäsiv in der Aufnahme gehalten sein. Das Füllmaterial kann einen kalt aushärtenden Kunststoff wie ein Duroplast umfassen. Zusätzlich können in dem Füllmaterial Fasern vorgesehen sein, um einen zugfesten Faserverbundstoff zu bilden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann ein druckfester Bestandteil hinzugefügt werden, wie Sand, insbesondere Quarzsand, Keramik oder Metall um die Druckfestigkeit des Füllmaterials zu erhöhen. Um einen nahtlosen Formschluss zu gewährleisten, kann das Füllmaterial einen sich während des Aushärtens ausdehnenden Bestandteil aufweisen.The filling material can be designed to have an adhesive effect in order to adhesively fasten the extension in the receptacle. The extension or the form-fitting means can be held in the receptacle in a form-fitting and adhesive manner. The filling material may comprise a cold-setting plastic such as a thermoset. In addition, fibers can be provided in the filling material in order to form a high-tensile fiber composite. Alternatively or additionally, a pressure-resistant component can be added, such as sand, in particular quartz sand, ceramic or metal, in order to increase the pressure resistance of the filling material. In order to ensure a seamless form fit, the filling material can have a component that expands during curing.

Das erste Hüllstrukturelement 2 und das zweite Hüllstrukturelement 3 sind derart ausgestaltet, dass sie in einer Montageposition aufeinandergesetzt bzw. ineinandergesteckt und durch Führungsflächen ausgerichtet sind.The first
An dem ersten Hüllstrukturelement 2 ist dazu ein Fortsatz 8 vorgesehen, an dem zweiten Hüllstrukturelement 3 eine Aufnahme 9. Die Aufnahme 9 weist eine Aufnahmeöffnung 16 auf, durch die der Fortsatz 8 in die Aufnahme 9 eingeführt werden kann. Der Fortsatz 8 ist Teil des Strangpressprofils, aus dem das erste Hüllstrukturelement 2 gebildet ist und erstreckt sich über die gesamte Länge des Hüllstrukturelements 2. Entsprechend ist die Aufnahmeöffnung 16 Teil des Aluminiumstrangpressprofils, von dem das zweite Hüllstrukturelement 3 gebildet ist, und erstreckt sich über die gesamte Länge des zweite Hüllstrukturelements 3.For this purpose, an
Um eine Führung des ersten Hüllstrukturelementes 2 in dem zweiten Hüllstrukturelement 3 zu ermöglichen, ist die Breite B der Aufnahmeöffnung 16 nur geringfügig breiter als die Breite b des Fortsatzes 8. Der Fortsatz 8 wirkt also mit der Aufnahmeöffnung 16 gemeinsam als Führung für das erste Hüllstrukturelement 2 in dem zweiten Hüllstrukturelement 3, wobei die Führung die Bewegung des ersten Hüllstrukturelements 2 gegenüber dem zweiten Hüllstrukturelement 3 in einer Querrichtung Q beschränkt. In einer bevorzugten Ausführung kann dazu zwischen dem Fortsatz 8 und der Aufnahmeöffnung 16 eine Spielpassung vorgesehen sein.In order to enable the first
Auch in Einführrichtung E ist die Bewegung der Hüllstrukturelemente 2, 3 zueinander begrenzt. An dem ersten Hüllstrukturelement 2 sind beidseits des Fortsatzes 8 Auflageflächen 17 vorgesehen, an dem zweiten Hüllstrukturelement 3 beidseits der Aufnahmeöffnung 16 Auflageflächen 18.The movement of the
In der in
Erstes und zweites Hüllstrukturelement 2, 3 sind dafür ausgestaltet, miteinander verschweißt zu werden. Dazu ist an der Außenwand 4 des ersten Hüllstrukturelementes 2 eine Schweißfläche 19 zur Aufnahme einer Schweißnaht angeordnet, an dem zweiten Hüllstrukturelement 3 eine Schweißfläche 20. Die Schweißflächen 19 und 20 verlaufen schräg zu den Außenwänden 4, 6, so dass bei zusammengefügten Hüllstrukturelementen 2, 3 eine von außen zugängliche Vertiefung zur Aufnahme des Schweißmaterials entsteht.First and second
Das erste Hüllstrukturelement 2 weist außerdem eine Schweißbadsicherung 21 auf, die dazu dient, während des Schweißvorgangs austretendes Schweißmaterial aufzufangen. Die Schweißbadsicherung 21 ist Teil des ersten Hüllstrukturelementes 2 und wird mit diesem in einem Arbeitsgang im Strangpressverfahren hergestellt. Die Schweißbadsicherung 21 erstreckt sich in Einführrichtung E und überlappt bei zusammengefügter Hüllstruktur die Schweißfuge zwischen den Hüllstrukturelementen 2, 3. Eine an der Schweißbadsicherung 21 an dem ersten Hüllstrukturelement 2 vorgesehene Stützfläche 12 ist bei zusammengefügter Hüllstruktur gegenüber einer Stützfläche 13 an dem zweiten Hüllstrukturelement 3 angeordnet. Die Stützflächen 12, 13 funktionieren wie der Fortsatz 8 und die Aufnahme 9 als Führung und stellen bei zusammengesetzter Hüllstruktur einen teilweisen Formschluss her, der die Lage der Hüllstrukturelemente 2, 3 vor Herstellung einer auch in Einführrichtung formschlüssigen bzw. einer stoffschlüssigen zueinander festlegt.The first
In der Innenwand 7 des zweiten Hüllstrukturelementes 3 ist eine Einfüllöffnung 14 vorgesehen. Die Einfüllöffnung 14 dient dazu, Füllmaterial in die Aufnahme 9 einzubringen, um über das Formschlussmittel 10 an dem Fortsatz 8 einen Formschluss mit dem ersten Hüllstrukturelement 2 herzustellen. Das Füllmaterial kann unter Druck durch die Öffnung 14 zugeführt werden, um eine vollständige Füllung der Aufnahme 9 und im ausgehärteten Zustand des Füllmaterials einen vollständigen Formschluss mit dem Formschlussmittel 10 zu gewährleisten. Das Füllmaterial ist bevorzugt kalt oder bei niedrigen Temperaturen aushärtbar gestaltet, um eine zusätzliche thermische Beanspruchung des zweiten Hüllstrukturelementes 3 zu vermeiden.A filling
Das Füllmaterial 24 kann insbesondere in die Einbuchtung 15 des Formschlussmittels 10 eindringen. Härtet das Füllmaterial 24 anschließend aus, ist dieses formschlüssig mit dem Formschlussmittel 10 verbunden. Zugleich ist das Füllmaterial 24 in ausgehärtetem Zustand über die Aufnahme 9 formschlüssig mit dem zweiten Hüllstrukturelement 3 verbunden.The filling
Die Aufnahme 9 verjüngt sich nach oben hin, also entgegen der Einführrichtung E. In der Aufnahme befindliches, ausgehärtetes Füllmaterial 24 bildet folglich auch mit der Aufnahme 9 einen Formschluss und kann nicht entgegen der Einführrichtung verschoben werden. Des Weiteren kann ein Teil des Füllmaterials 24 nach dem Befüllvorgang in der Einfüllöffnung verbleiben. Über das Füllmaterial 24 in der Einfüllöffnung 14 entsteht beim Aushärten des Füllmaterials 24 ein weiterer Formschluss.The
Die Formschlüsse zwischen erstem Hüllstrukturelement 2 und dem Füllmaterial 24 sowie dem zweiten Hüllstrukturelement 3 und dem Füllmaterial 24 bilden somit eine formschlüssige Verbindung 25 zwischen erstem Hüllstrukturelement 2 und zweitem Hüllstrukturelement 3. Zusätzlich kann das Füllmaterial 24 adhäsiv wirken und das erste Hüllstrukturelement 2 über den Fortsatz 8 adhäsiv mit dem zweiten Hüllstrukturelement 3 verbinden.The interlocking between the first
Die beiden Außenwände 4, 6 der Hüllstrukturelemente 2, 3 sind durch eine Schweißnaht 11 miteinander verbunden. Die Schweißnaht 11 bildet eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung, die parallel zur oben beschriebenen formschlüssigen Verbindung 25 wirkt. Die Schweißnaht 11 und die formschlüssige Verbindung 25 bilden zusammen eine ausreichend steife Verbindung, die einen Aufbau einer Hüllstruktur 1 mit hoher Steifigkeit ermöglicht.The two
