Definitions
- the present invention refers to a damper element, presenting in a cross section, two sheets principally arranged in parallel, with a certain relative slit width, which slit is bridged at the sheet edges by cantlists, in such a way that the sheets and the cantlists screen off at least one space in the element, which space is filled with a foamed material, applied by foaming.
- the element in accordance with above is reminiscent of elements that can be part of e.g. folding doors, at which it generally meets the necessary demands regarding rigidity and insulation.
- Adjustable damper blades for use as control device, fire damper, baffle and the like in ventilation constructions can have a length of up to 2 metres. These elements are rotatable between different adjustment positions and exposed to consider ⁇ able torsion stresses, and do therefore need higher torsion rigidity. If necessary torsion rigidity is not obtained, the damper blade adjustment function will not be satisfactory, which may bring on serious consequences if the blades form part of a fire damper. For this purpose, it has usually been necessary to assemble a damper blade by means of screws, blind rivets, spot welds or other means which have made production of such damper blades relatively work intensive. The demands on close tolerances, e.g. absence of play, do also make produc ⁇ tion more expensive.
- the purpose of the present invention is to provide a damper blade, by which high torsion rigidity is obtained without use of expensive screws, blind rivets or spot welds for assembly.
- the invention is characterized in, that the cantlists present elastical sections, which cooperate during assembling of the element, with folded sections at the edges of the sheets, producing mechanical joining of the element before foaming of foam material.
- Fig. 1 shows a damper blade according to the invention in a broken plane view
- Fig. 2 is an end view of the damper blade shown in Fig 1
- Fig. 3 shows said damper blade in an exploded view.
- the damper blade shown in the drawings, comprises an external shell consisting of two metal sheets 10 being profiled by folding, which are joined by means of cantlists 11 along both longer sides.
- Quadrangular axle spindles 12 of metal are placed between the sheets 10 at both short ends of the damper blade.
- the sheets are provided with grooves 13, which connect to the quadrangular form of the axle spindles.
- an U-shaped mountings 14 is pressed onto each short end of the blade, thus tightening the sheets against the axle spindles.
- the mountings 14 in its turn, are attached to the sheets 10 in a very effective and simple way, by a prick punch on each side, using the axle spindles as a dolly for the prick punches.
- the axle spindles 12 normally extend only about 50 mm into the damper blade from each short end.
- the torque that may arise between both mounting ends of the axle spindles, are trans ⁇ mitted very effectively and without play to the sheets of the damper blade by said mounting.
- the sheets 10, cantlists 11 and mountings 14 enclose a space filled with a foamed material 16, e. g. a polyurethane foam.
- a foamed material e. g. a polyurethane foam. This foam material adheres to the insides of the sheets, and contributes actively to make the damper blade torsion resistant.
- the sheets 10 are provided with hook-shaped folded sections 17 at the side edges, which sections are facing the interior of the blade.
- the cantlists 11 present elastical sections, which cooperate during assembling of the element, with the folded sections 17, producing mechanical joining of the element before foaming of the foam material.
- the elastical sections comprise a centrally situated web section 18, which extends in between the hook-shaped folded sections 17 of the sheets 10, and is coaxial with the central plane of the element.
- the web section 18 turns into a shoulder section 19 with hooking means 20, which grasp the hook-shaped creased section 17 of the sheets 10.
- the above described attachment of the sheets via the cantlists provides a sufficient strength for holding the parts together during entry and expanding of the foam.
- This makes it possible to produce the damper blade from thin sheet metal, e.g. 0,5 mm galvanized sheet metal.
- the blade can be continuously produced in a line, wherein continuous sheets are fed in parallel from two magazine rolls, and formed parallelly into one top sheet and one bottom sheet by means of roll folding. Both folded sheets are thereafter continuously assembled by means of the cantlists 11.
- Foam is then injected in the space between the sheets and the cantlists via a long nozzle, which reaches between the sheets before they are assembled by the lists.
- the foam is activated, expands and sets to its final shape by passage trough an oven. Now the foam forms a locking for the hooking means of the cantlists, so that these can not slip away from their grip on the hook-shaped folded sections 17 of the sheets 10, even if the composite element is exposed to considerable strains.
- the invention is not limited to the above described embodiment, instead more variants are conceivable within the scoop of following claims.
- the sheets 10 can be folded otherwise than shown, wherein the sections 17 do not need to be hook-shaped.
