Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Scharnierteil-Rohling aus einem Materialstreifen, der durch Trennen entlang quer oder schräg zur Axialrichtung des Materialstreifens verlaufender Trennlinien in einzelne Scharnierteile aufgeteilt werden kann, wobei die Scharnierteile Flügel zur Befestigung an einem Bauteil und einen Scharnierteilkopf mit einer Bolzenbohrung zur Aufnahme eines Gelenkbolzens aufweisen, und wobei die Scharnierteilköpfe an dem Materialstreifen in Axialrichtung hintereinander angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a hinge part blank of a strip of material, which can be divided into individual hinge parts by separating along transverse or oblique to the axial direction of the strip of material separating lines, wherein the hinge parts wings for attachment to a component and a hinge head with a pin hole for receiving a hinge pin and wherein the hinge part heads are arranged on the strip of material in the axial direction one behind the other.

Ein Scharnierteil-Rohling der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der DE 195 09 674 C2 und der EP 1 041 232 bekannt. Bei dem aus der DE 195 09 674 C2 und der EP 1 041 232 bekannten Scharnierteil-Rohling handelt es sich um einen abfalllos entlang von Trennlinien in einzelne Scharnierteile unterteilbaren Materialstreifen. Durch Schneiden des Materialstreifens entlang der Trennlinien können die einzelnen Scharnierteile separiert werden, welche dann zur Verwendung für die Montage einer Tür zur Verfügung stehen. Die an z.B. einer Kraftfahrzeugtür selbst bzw. an der Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeuges zu befestigenden Scharnierteile können dabei sowohl unterschiedlich als auch gleich geformt sein. Jedes Scharnierteil weist einen Flügel auf, mit welchem es an der Tür bzw. dem Portal befestigt werden kann, sowie einen Scharnierteilkopf, welcher eine Bolzenbohrung zur Aufnahme eines Gelenkbolzens besitzt. Im ungetrennten Zustand sind die Scharnierteile derart in dem Materialstreifen angeordnet, dass ihre Scharnierteilköpfe in Axialrichtung des Streifens gesehen hintereinander liegen und dass die in den Scharnierteilköpfen ausgebildeten Bolzenbohrungen ebenfalls in Axialrichtung des Materialstreifens verlaufen.A hinge part blank of the type mentioned is from the DE 195 09 674 C2 and the EP 1 041 232 known. In the from the DE 195 09 674 C2 and the EP 1 041 232 Known hinge part blank is a piece of material which can be divided without waste along dividing lines into individual hinge parts. By cutting the strip of material along the parting lines, the individual hinge parts can be separated, which are then available for use in mounting a door. The hinge parts to be fastened to, for example, a motor vehicle door itself or to the body of the motor vehicle can be shaped differently as well as the same. Each hinge part has a wing with which it can be attached to the door or the portal, and a hinge head, which has a pin hole for receiving a hinge pin. In the unseparated state, the hinge parts are arranged in the material strip such that their hinge part heads are arranged one behind the other in the axial direction of the strip and that the bolt bores formed in the hinge part heads also run in the axial direction of the material strip.

Die vorbekannten Scharnierteil-Rohlinge haben den Nachteil, dass die Scharnierteile eine spezielle Form aufweisen müssen, so dass sich der Materialstreifen aus alternierend um 180° gedrehten Scharnierteilen lückenlos zusammensetzen lässt. Ferner besteht eine feste Verknüpfung zwischen der jeweils in Richtung der Bolzenbohrung gemessenen Höhe des Scharnierteilkopfes einerseits und der Höhe der Scharnierteilflügel andererseits. Wenn nicht Materialverschnitt in Kauf genommen werden soll, kann die Flügelhöhe maximal doppelt so groß sein wie die Höhe der Scharnierteilköpfe, wobei sich in diesem Falle im Scharnierteil-Rohling die Flügel der verschiedenen Scharnierteile abwechselnd zu verschiedenen Seiten erstrecken müssen, so dass ein Flügel jeweils in Axialrichtung die Länge von zwei Scharnierteilköpfen beanspruchen kann.The prior art hinge part blanks have the disadvantage that the hinge parts must have a special shape, so that the material strip can be assembled without gaps from alternately rotated by 180 ° hinge parts. Furthermore, there is a firm link between the measured in the direction of the pin bore height of the hinge part head on the one hand and the height of the hinge wing on the other. If material waste is not to be accepted, the height of the sash can not be more than twice the height of the hinge-type heads, in which case the wings of the different hinge parts must alternately extend to different sides in the hinge-part blank, so that one sash in each case Axial direction can claim the length of two hinge part heads.

Vor diesem Hintergrund war es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Erweiterung in der Gestaltungsfreiheit bereitzustellen, welche eine größere Flexibilität hinsichtlich der Scharnierteilformen erlaubt.Against this background, it was an object of the present invention to provide an extension in design freedom, which allows greater flexibility in terms of hinge part shapes.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Scharnierteil-Rohling mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.This object is achieved by a hinge part blank with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are contained in the subclaims.

Der genannte Scharnierteil-Rohling besteht aus einem Materialstreifen aus einem geeigneten, insbesondere metallischen Material wie etwa Stahl. Dieser kann zwar theoretisch quer zu seiner Axialrichtung (Längsrichtung) eine gebogene Form (Profilierung) aufweisen, ist jedoch in der Regel ohne Krümmung rechtwinklig zur Längsachse ausgebildet. Der Materialstreifen kann ferner durch Trennen entlang von hauptsächlich quer bzw. schräg zu seiner Axialrichtung verlaufenden Trennlinien in einzelne Scharnierteile aufgeteilt werden. Jedes Scharnierteil weist dabei zwei Flügel zur Befestigung an einem Bauteil, zum Beispiel der Tür oder der Karosserie eines Kraftfahrzeuges, sowie einen Scharnierteilkopf mit einer Bolzenbohrung zur Aufnahme eines Gelenkbolzens auf. Weiterhin sind die Scharnierteilköpfe an dem Scharnierteil-Rohling in Axialrichtung des Scharnierteil-Rohlings gesehen hintereinander angeordnet. Der Scharnierteil-Rohling ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die in den Scharnierteilköpfen vorgesehenen Bolzenbohrungen quer bzw. schräg zur Axialrichtung des Materialstreifens liegen. Vorzugsweise liegen die Bolzenbohrungen senkrecht zur Axialrichtung des Materialstreifens.The said hinge part blank consists of a material strip of a suitable, in particular metallic material such as steel. Although this may theoretically transversely to its axial direction (longitudinal direction) have a curved shape (profiling), but is usually formed without a bend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The strip of material may also be separated by cutting along substantially transverse to its axial direction extending dividing lines are divided into individual hinge parts. Each hinge part has two wings for attachment to a component, for example the door or the body of a motor vehicle, as well as a hinge head with a bolt hole for receiving a hinge pin. Furthermore, the hinge part heads are arranged on the hinge part blank seen in succession in the axial direction of the hinge part blank. The hinge part blank is characterized in that the bolt holes provided in the hinge part heads lie transversely or obliquely to the axial direction of the material strip. Preferably, the pin bores are perpendicular to the axial direction of the strip of material.

Anders als bei bekannten Scharnierteil-Rohlingen erstrecken sich somit die Bolzenbohrungen in den Scharnierteilköpfen nicht mehr parallel zur Axialrichtung des Materialstreifens, sondern quer bzw. schräg (d.h. unter einem Winkel ungleich 0°) hierzu. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die in Richtung der jeweiligen Bolzenbohrung gemessene Höhe der Scharnierteilköpfe unabhängig von der Unterteilung des Materialstreifens in seiner Axialrichtung zu wählen. Auf das vorstehend erwähnte 2:1 Verhältnis zwischen der Höhe der Scharnierteilköpfe und der Höhe der Flügel ist der erfindungsgemäße Scharnierteil-Rohling daher nicht mehr beschränkt. Dies erlaubt die Realisierung einer größeren Vielzahl von Scharnierteil-Formen.Thus, unlike known hinge part blanks, the bolt holes in the hinge part heads no longer extend parallel to the axial direction of the strip of material but transversely or obliquely (i.e., at an angle other than 0 °) thereto. This makes it possible to select the measured in the direction of the respective pin bore height of the hinge part heads regardless of the subdivision of the material strip in its axial direction. The above-mentioned 2: 1 ratio between the height of the hinge part heads and the height of the wings of the hinge part blank according to the invention is therefore no longer limited. This allows the realization of a wider variety of hinge part shapes.

Gemäß Ausgestaltung des Scharnierteil-Rohlings sind die Scharnierteilköpfe jeweils zwischen einem ersten Flügel und einem zweiten Flügel eines Scharnierteiles angeordnet. Derartige Scharnierteile, bei denen ein Flügel oberhalb der Bolzenbohrung und der andere Flügel unterhalb der Bolzenbohrung liegt, können mit den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Scharnierteil-Rohlingen nicht abfallos hergestellt werden. Der Vorteil derartiger zweiflügeliger Scharnierteile besteht darin, dass die Flügel eine große Spannweite in Richtung der Bolzenbohrung bekommen, was ähnlich wie bei den aus der DE 195 09 674 C2 bzw. EP 1 041 232 bekannten Scharnierteilen eine Mehrpunktbefestigung ermöglicht.According to the embodiment of the hinge part blank, the hinge part heads are each between a first wing and a second wing of a hinge part arranged. Such hinge parts, in which a wing above the pin bore and the other wing is below the pin bore, can not be made waste with the known from the prior art hinge part blanks. The advantage of such double-leaf hinge parts is that the wings get a large span in the direction of the pin bore, which is similar to that of the DE 195 09 674 C2 respectively. EP 1 041 232 Known hinge parts allows Mehrpunktbefestigung.

Die an den Scharnierteilen vorgesehenen Flügel weisen vorzugsweise jeweils mindestens eine Bohrung auf, durch welche ein geeignetes Befestigungsmittel - wie insbesondere eine Schraube oder ein Bolzen - zur Befestigung des Scharnierteiles an der Tür oder Karosserie geführt werden kann. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, die Scharnierteile durch Schweißen zu befestigen.The provided on the hinge parts wings preferably each have at least one bore through which a suitable fastening means - such as in particular a screw or a bolt - can be performed to attach the hinge part to the door or body. Of course, it is also possible to attach the hinge parts by welding.

Weiterhin sind die Bolzenbohrungen der Scharnierteilköpfe in dem Materialstreifen vorzugsweise parallel zueinander angeordnet. Eine derartige Anordnung ermöglicht eine besonders dichte Unterbringung gleichartiger Scharnierteile auf dem Materialstreifen.Furthermore, the bolt holes of the hinge part heads in the strip of material are preferably arranged parallel to one another. Such an arrangement allows a particularly dense placement of similar hinge parts on the strip of material.

Bei dem Materialstreifen handelt es sich vorzugsweise um einen solchen, welcher durch Walzen und/oder Ziehen aus einem Metallband hergestellt wurde.The strip of material is preferably one made by rolling and / or drawing from a metal strip.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der Figuren beispielhaft näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Figur 1
einen Ausschnitt aus einem Materialstreifen mit vier darin enthaltenen Scharnierteilen,
Figur 2
ein mit einem Scharnierteil gemäß Figur 1 hergestelltes Scharnier und
Figur 3
eine alternative Formgebung eines einzelnen Scharnierteiles;
Figur 4
eine Formgebung eines einzelnen, nicht aus einem erfindungsgemäßen Scharnierteil-Rohling hergestellten Scharnierteiles.
In the following the invention will be explained in more detail by way of example with reference to the figures. Show it:
FIG. 1
a section of a strip of material with four hinge parts contained therein,
FIG. 2
one with a hinge part according to FIG. 1 manufactured hinge and
FIG. 3
an alternative shape of a single hinge part;
FIG. 4
a shape of a single, not produced from a hinge part blank according to the invention hinge part.

In Figur 1 ist ein kurzer Ausschnitt aus einem in einer Axialrichtung A verlaufenden Materialstreifen dargestellt. Der Materialstreifen besteht vorzugsweise aus einem (Stahl-)Blech. Insbesondere ist in der Mitte des Materialstreifens ein in Axialrichtung A verlaufender Wulst vorgesehen, welcher das Material für die nachstehend detaillierter beschriebenen Scharnierteilköpfe 11, 12 bereitstellt.In FIG. 1 a short section of a running in an axial direction A strip of material is shown. The material strip is preferably made of a (steel) sheet metal. In particular, in the middle of the strip of material, there is provided a bead extending in the axial direction A, which provides the material for the hinge-headed heads 11, 12 described in more detail below.

Der Materialstreifen ist in Axialrichtung A gesehen sequentiell in formgleiche Scharnierteile 1, 2 unterteilt. Jedes Scharnierteil 1, 2 besitzt dabei z.B. einen oberen Flügel 3 bzw. 4, einen unteren Flügel 5 bzw. 6, sowie einen zwischen den Flügeln angeordneten Scharnierteilkopf 11 bzw. 12. Die einzelnen Scharnierteile sind durch Schneiden entlang von Trennlinien I an den Flügeln 3, 4 bzw. 5, 6 sowie entlang von Trennlinien II an den Scharnierteilköpfen 11, 12 voneinander trennbar. Die Schnitte können dabei zum Beispiel durch einen Elektronen- oder Laserstrahl oder durch einen Wasserstrahl mit Abrasivmittelzugabe erfolgen. Die Scharnierteilköpfe 11, 12 können durch Sägeschnitte entlang der Linien II voneinander getrennt werden (in Figur 1 sind derartige Schnitte bereits ausgeführt).The strip of material is seen sequentially in the axial direction A in the same shape hinge parts 1, 2 divided. Each hinge part 1, 2 has, for example, an upper wing 3 or 4, a lower wing 5 and 6, as well as an arranged between the wings hinge head 11 and 12. The individual hinge parts are by cutting along dividing lines I on the wings. 3 , 4 and 5, 6 and along separating lines II on the hinge part heads 11, 12 separable from each other. The cuts can be made for example by an electron or laser beam or by a water jet with Abrasivmittelzugabe. The hinge part heads 11, 12 can be separated by saw cuts along the lines II (in FIG. 1 such cuts have already been made).

Vorteilhaft für den in Figur 1 dargestellten Scharnierteil-Rohling ist, dass die Bolzenbohrungen 13, 14 in den Scharnierteilköpfen 11, 12 senkrecht zur Axialrichtung A des Materialstreifens liegen. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass die in Richtung der Bolzenbohrungen gemessene Höhe h der Scharnierteilköpfe 11, 12 unabhängig von der in derselben Richtung gemessenen Erstreckung H der Flügel 3, 5 bzw. 4, 6 gewählt werden kann. Eine derartige Unabhängigkeit ist bei den bisher bekannten Scharnierteil-Rohlingen zur abfallosen Herstellung, bei denen die Achse der Bolzenbohrungen parallel zur Achse A des Scharnierteil-Rohlings liegt, nicht gegeben.Beneficial for the in FIG. 1 shown hinge part blank is that the bolt holes 13, 14 in the Hinge part heads 11, 12 are perpendicular to the axial direction A of the material strip. This makes it possible that the height h of the hinge part heads 11, 12 measured in the direction of the bolt bores can be selected independently of the extent H of the blades 3, 5 or 4, 6 measured in the same direction. Such independence is not given in the hitherto known hinge part blanks for waste-free production, in which the axis of the bolt holes is parallel to the axis A of the hinge part blank.

Die Flächen um die Bolzenbohrungen 13, 14 herum werden vorzugsweise durch Schleifvorgänge hergestellt.The surfaces around the bolt holes 13, 14 are preferably made by grinding operations.

Bei der in Figur 1 dargestellten Form der Scharnierteile 1, 2 liegt ein Flügel 3 bzw. 4 oberhalb und ein anderer Flügel 5 bzw. 6 unterhalb des Scharnierteilkopfes 11 bzw. 12. In jedem Flügel 3, 4, 5, 6 ist dabei eine Bohrung 7, 8, 9, 10 vorgesehen, durch welche eine Schraube oder ein Bolzen geführt werden kann, um das (abgetrennte) Scharnierteil 1, 2 an einer Tür oder der Karosserie eines Kraftfahrzeuges zu befestigen. Die beidseitig der Scharnierteilköpfe 11, 12 liegende Anordnung der Flügel 3, 4 bzw. 5, 6 ergibt dabei eine große Spannweite zwischen den Befestigungspunkten/Bohrungen 7 und 8 bzw. 9 und 10, was zu einer günstigen Kraftübertragung führt.At the in FIG. 1 1, 2 is a wing 3 and 4 above and another wing 5 and 6 below the hinge part head 11 and 12. In each wing 3, 4, 5, 6 is a bore 7, 8, 9th , 10, through which a screw or a bolt can be guided to secure the (separated) hinge part 1, 2 to a door or the body of a motor vehicle. The arrangement of the wings 3, 4 or 5, 6 lying on both sides of the hinge part heads 11, 12 results in a large span between the attachment points / bores 7 and 8 or 9 and 10, which leads to a favorable power transmission.

Die Bohrungen 7, 8, 9, 10 können sowohl vor dem Trennen der einzelnen Scharnierteile von dem Materialstreifen als auch nachher durch entsprechendes Trennschneiden, Stanzen oder Bohren hergestellt werden.The bores 7, 8, 9, 10 can be produced both before the separation of the individual hinge parts from the strip of material and subsequently by appropriate cutting, stamping or drilling.

Figur 2 zeigt, wie ein Scharnierteil 1 der in Figur 1 dargestellten Art mit einem anderen Scharnierteil zur Ausbildung eines Türgelenkes z.B. an einem Kraftfahrzeug. kombiniert werden kann. Das Scharnierteil 1 kann dabei entweder an der Tür oder an dem Portal befestigt sein. FIG. 2 shows how a hinge part 1 of in FIG. 1 shown type with another hinge part for forming a door hinge, for example on a motor vehicle. can be combined. The hinge part 1 can be attached either to the door or to the portal.

Die quer verlaufende Anordnung der Bolzenbohrungen relativ zur Achse A des Materialstreifens erlaubt eine große Flexibilität hinsichtlich der Formen der einzelnen Scharnierteile. Ein mögliches Beispiel für ein abgewandeltes Scharnierteil 1' ist in Figur 3 dargestellt. Bei diesem Scharnierteil 1' ist der Scharnierteilkopf z.B. nach vorne hervorstehend verlängert, und die Flügel sind z.B. relativ zueinander gewinkelt.The transverse arrangement of the bolt holes relative to the axis A of the material strip allows great flexibility in terms of the shapes of the individual hinge parts. A possible example of a modified hinge part 1 'is in FIG. 3 shown. In this hinge part 1 ', the hinge part head is extended, for example, projecting forward, and the wings are, for example, angled relative to each other.

Ein Beispiel für ein nicht aus einem erfindungsgemäßen Scharnierteil-Rohling hergestellten Scharnierteil 1'' zeigt Figur 4. Hierbei ist nur ein z.B. nach unten weisender Flügel an dem Auge des Scharnierteils 1'' angeordnet.An example of a hinge part 1 "not manufactured from a hinge part blank according to the invention is shown FIG. 4 , In this case, only one, for example, downward-pointing wing on the eye of the hinge part 1 '' is arranged.
