Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Steckverbinder aus Kunststoff zum Verbinden von Hohlprofilen, insbesondere von Abstandhalter-Hohlprofilen aus Metall, Kunststoff od. dgl. für insbesondere Mehrscheibenisoliergläser, wobei der Steckverbinder an seinen Seiten mit nach außen gerichteten Lamellen versehen ist.The invention relates to a connector made of plastic for connecting hollow sections, in particular of spacer hollow profiles made of metal, plastic or the. Like. For particular Mehrscheibenisoliergläser, wherein the connector is provided on its sides with outwardly directed fins.

Es sind verschiedene derartige Verbinder bekannt, die jedoch oftmals den Nachteil aufweisen, nur schlecht in den Hohlprofilen zu halten. Gerade bei höheren Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeiten beim Biegen und Transportieren der Hohlprofile besteht die Gefahr, daß die Verbindungsstelle der Hohlprofile, die durch Steckverbinder zusammengehalten wird, sich öffnet und eventuell enthaltenes Trocknungsmittel austritt.There are various such connectors known, but often have the disadvantage of poorly hold in the hollow sections. Especially at higher processing speeds when bending and transporting the hollow sections, there is the danger that the junction of the hollow profiles, which is held together by connectors, opens and any drying agent contained emerges.

Es sind Steckverbinder bekannt, die aufwendig durch Verstemmen in den Hohlprofilen befestigt werden. Durch diesen zusätzlichen Arbeitsschritt des Verstemmens ist jedoch nur noch ein verringerter Durchsatz bei der Verarbeitung der Hohlprofile möglich.There are known connectors that are attached by caulking in the hollow sections. By this additional step of caulking but only a reduced throughput in the processing of the hollow sections is possible.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ausgehend von einem Steckverbinder, der an seinen Seiten mit nach außen gerichteten Lamellen versehen ist, derart auszugestalten, daß dieser auch unter widrigen Umständen sicher im Hohlprofil befestigt ist, ohne die Notwendigkeit eines zusätzlichen Arbeitsschrittes zu begründen.The object of the invention is, starting from a connector which is provided on its sides with outwardly directed lamellae, so designed that it is securely fixed even in adverse circumstances in the hollow section, without the need for an additional step to justify.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß auf der Unterseite des Steckverbinders eine Vielzahl von Erhebungen vorgesehen ist, die in unterschiedlichen Abständen voneinander ausschließlich im Randbereich des Steckverbinders angeordnet sind.This object is achieved in that a plurality of elevations is provided on the underside of the connector, which are arranged at different distances from each other exclusively in the edge region of the connector.

Durch die Anordnung ausschließlich im Randbereich des Steckverbinders und durch die unterschiedlichen Abstände der Erhebungen voneinander können sich die Erhebungen sehr gut an Unebenheiten oder auch an Perforationen verhaken. Die Verhakungen werden sehr genau getroffen, so daß die Stoßstellen des Hohlprofiles nicht auseinanderklaffen.Due to the arrangement exclusively in the edge region of the connector and the different distances of the elevations from each other, the surveys can very well catch on bumps or perforations. The entanglements are met very accurately, so that the joints of the hollow profile do not diverge.

Es hat sich erfindungsgemäß auch als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Erhebungen auf einer gegenüber der Bodenfläche des Steckverbinders versenkt angeordnet Fläche vorgesehen sind.It has also proved to be very advantageous according to the invention if the elevations are provided on a surface recessed relative to the bottom surface of the connector.

Sehr vorteilhaft ist es dabei auch, wenn die höchste Höhe der Erhebungen mit der Bodenfläche des Steckverbinders abschließt, darunter angeordnet ist oder die Bodenfläche überragt.It is also very advantageous if the highest height of the surveys with the bottom surface of the connector terminates, is arranged underneath or extends beyond the bottom surface.

Je nach Einsatzzweck sind diese Anordnungen denkbar. Bei einem mit einer Perforation versehenen Hohlprofil können beispielsweise die Erhebungen gegenüber der Bodenfläche versenkt angeordnet werden, um diese vor Beschädigungen durch die Perforation zu schützen.Depending on the purpose, these arrangements are conceivable. In the case of a hollow profile provided with a perforation, it is possible, for example, for the elevations to be sunk in relation to the bottom surface, in order to protect them from being damaged by the perforation.

Es hat sich erfindungsgemäß als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Erhebungen die Bodenfläche geringfügig überragen.It has proved to be very advantageous according to the invention if the elevations project slightly beyond the bottom surface.

Mit dieser Ausgestaltung können sich die Erhebungen an kleinsten Unebenheiten an den Innenseiten des Hohlprofiles abstützen und so ein versehentliches Herausziehen des Verbinders aus dem Hohlprofil vermeiden.With this configuration, the elevations can be supported on the smallest bumps on the inner sides of the hollow profile and thus avoid accidental withdrawal of the connector from the hollow profile.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es auch sehr vorteilhaft, wenn jeder Längshälfte des Steckverbinders wenigstens eine Reihe Erhebungen zugeordnet ist.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is also very advantageous if each longitudinal half of the connector is assigned at least one row surveys.

Dadurch ist für jede Einsteckrichtung wenigstens eine Reihe mit Erhebungen vorhanden.As a result, there is at least one row of elevations for each insertion direction.

Es hat sich als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn jeder Längshälfte zwei Reihen Erhebungen zugeordnet sind.It has proved to be very advantageous if each longitudinal half are assigned two rows of elevations.

Damit wird ein nochmals verbesserter Halt des Steckverbinders im Hohlprofil erzielt.This achieves a further improved hold of the connector in the hollow profile.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist es äußerst vorteilhaft, wenn jede Reihe von Erhebungen einen in dieser Reihe variierenden Abstand der Erhebungen voneinander aufweist.According to one embodiment of the invention, it is extremely advantageous if each row of elevations has a varying spacing of the elevations from each other in this row.

Ebenfalls als sehr vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, wenn jede Reihe Erhebungen einen in dieser Reihe konstanten Abstand der Erhebungen voneinander aufweist.It has also proved to be very advantageous if each row of elevations has a constant spacing of the elevations from one another in this row.

Dabei ist es äußerst vorteilhaft, wenn die Reihen von Erhebungen voneinander unterschiedliche Abstände der Erhebungen aufweisen.It is extremely advantageous if the rows of elevations have mutually different distances between the elevations.

Durch diese Ausgestaltungen wird sichergestellt, daß immer an der erfoderlichen Stelle eine Verrastung stattfinden, um die Stoßkanten des Hohlprofiles zusammenzuhalten.By these embodiments, it is ensured that always take place at the position erförlichen a latching to hold the abutting edges of the hollow profile.

Eine weitere sehr vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt auch darin, daß die Erhebungen als Auflaufschrägen ausgebildet sind.Another very advantageous embodiment of the invention lies in the fact that the elevations are formed as chamfers.

Hierdurch wird das Einstecken des Verbinders in das Hohlprofil erheblich erleichtert.As a result, the insertion of the connector is facilitated in the hollow profile considerably.

Ebenfalls sehr vorteilhaft ist es erfindungsgemäß, wenn zwischen zwei nebeneinander liegenden Reihen von Erhebungen eine wenigstens im wesentlichen glatte Bodenfläche vorgesehen ist.Likewise, it is very advantageous according to the invention if an at least substantially smooth bottom surface is provided between two adjacent rows of elevations.

Hierdurch wird eine hervorragende Abdichtungdes Hohlprofiles zum Steckverbinder hin erzielt.As a result, an excellent sealing of the hollow profile is achieved to the connector.

Es hat sich erfindungsgemäß auch als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn Anschläge vorgesehen sind, die eine Einstecklänge in die zu verbindenden Hohlprofile vorgeben.It has also proved to be very advantageous according to the invention when stops are provided which predetermine a Einstecklänge in the hollow sections to be joined.

Dabei ist es sehr vorteilhaft, wenn die Anschläge im Bereich der Mitte der Längserstreckung des Verbinders angeordnet sind.It is very advantageous if the stops are arranged in the region of the middle of the longitudinal extension of the connector.

Ebenfalls sehr vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Anschläge an den Außenseiten der Seitenstege vorgesehen sind.It is also very advantageous if the stops are provided on the outer sides of the side webs.

Durch derartige Anschläge wird wirksam verhindert, daß der Verbinder in das Hohlprofil zu tief eingeschoben wird.By such stops effectively prevents the connector is inserted too deeply into the hollow profile.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung hat es sich auch als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn ein federndes Ausgleichselement im Bereich der Anschläge vorgesehen ist.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it has also proved to be very advantageous if a resilient compensation element is provided in the region of the stops.

Damit wird ein ungewolltes Wackeln des Verbinders im Hohlprofil vermieden; Toleranzen werden ausgeglichen.This avoids unintentional wobbling of the connector in the hollow profile; Tolerances are compensated.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es sehr vorteilhaft, wenn der Steckverbinder als Winkel- oder Kreuzverbinder ausgebildet ist.According to the invention, it is very advantageous if the connector is designed as an angle or cross connector.

Ebenfalls sehr vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Steckverbinder als Längsverbinder ausgebildet ist.It is also very advantageous if the connector is designed as a longitudinal connector.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verbinderausgestaltung lässt sich universell einsetzen.The connector design according to the invention can be used universally.

Eine weitere sehr vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt auch dann vor, wenn der Steckverbinder als U-Verbinder mit einer Bodenfläche und zwei daran angeformten, in Längsrichtung verlaufenden Seitenstegen ausgebildet ist.Another very advantageous embodiment of the invention is also present when the connector is designed as a U-connector with a bottom surface and two molded thereon, extending in the longitudinal direction of the side webs.

Dadurch wird ein sehr stabiler und verwindungssteifer Verbinder geschaffen.This creates a very stable and torsionally stiff connector.

Sehr vorteilhaft ist es erfindungsgemäß auch, wenn die Bodenfläche wenigstens eine Durchbrechung aufweist.It is also very advantageous according to the invention if the bottom surface has at least one opening.

Damit wird Material eingespart, ohne die Stabilität des Verbinders negativ zu beeinflussen.This saves material without negatively affecting the stability of the connector.

Es hat sich gemäß einer weiteren Fortbildung der Erfindung auch als äußerst vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Seitenstege wenigstens im oberen Bereich der Kontur des zu verbindenden Hohlprofils an dieses angepasst ausgebildet sind.It has also proved to be extremely advantageous according to a further development of the invention, when the side bars are formed adapted to this at least in the upper region of the contour of the hollow profile to be connected.

Hierdurch wird ein dichter Verschluß des Hohlprofiles geschaffen.As a result, a tight seal of the hollow section is created.

Eine weitere sehr vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt auch dann vor, wenn die Seitenstege im oberen Bereich an der Außenseite abgeschrägt ausgebildet sind.Another very advantageous embodiment of the invention is also present when the side bars are formed bevelled in the upper region on the outside.

Durch eine derartige Abschrägung wird genügend Raum für Toleranzen des Hohlprofiles geschaffen.By such a chamfer enough space for tolerances of the hollow section is created.

Eine weitere äußerst vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt auch dann vor, wenn die Seitenstege im oberen Bereich in der Steckverbindermitte eine Höhenverringerung aufweisen.Another extremely advantageous embodiment of the invention is also present when the side bars have a height reduction in the upper part of the connector center.

Hierdurch wird eine automatische Anpassung des Steckverbinders an Hohlprofile ermöglicht, die eine geringfügig zu geringe Innenhöhe aufweisen. Beim Einschieben wird an der Oberkante der Seitenstege ein Span gebildet, der im Bereich der Höhenverringerung nach innen abgeleitet wird und sich so nicht zwischen die Stoßkanten des Hohlprofiles klemmen kann.As a result, an automatic adjustment of the connector is made possible on hollow sections, which have a slightly too low internal height. When inserting a chip is formed on the upper edge of the side bars, which is derived in the region of the reduction in height to the inside and so can not pinch between the abutting edges of the hollow profile.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführunsgbeispiels veranschaulicht.In the following the invention is illustrated by means of an embodiment.

Mit 1 ist in Fig. 1 ein U-förmiger Verbinder für Abstandhalter-Hohlprofile für Mehrscheibenisoliergläser bezeichnet. Dieser Verbinder 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Boden 2 und zwei an den Rändern des Bodens 2 angeformten Längsseitenstegen 3 und 4, so daß das U-förmige Profil des Verbinders 1 definiert wird.With 1 is in Fig. 1 a U-shaped connector for spacer hollow sections for Mehrscheibenisoliergläser designated. This connector 1 consists essentially of a bottom 2 and two integrally formed on the edges of the bottom 2 longitudinal side webs 3 and 4, so that the U-shaped profile of the connector 1 is defined.

An den Außenseiten der Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 sind nach außen weisende Lamellen 5 vorgesehen, die sich in den Hohlprofilen abzustützen vermögen.On the outer sides of the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4 outwardly facing fins 5 are provided, which are able to support themselves in the hollow sections.

Im Bereich der Mitte des Verbinders 1 sind ebenfalls an den Außenseiten der Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 für jede Einsteckrichtung jeweils ein Mittenanschlag 6 vorgesehen, der die Einstecktiefe des Verbinders 1 in die Hohlprofile begrenzt.In the region of the center of the connector 1, a center stop 6 are likewise provided on the outer sides of the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4 for each insertion direction, which limits the insertion depth of the connector 1 into the hollow profiles.

Den Mittenanschlägen 6 ist jeweils ein Ausgleichselement 7 zugeordnet, das gegenüber den Mittenanschlägen 6 jeweils am anderen Längsseitensteg 3 und 4 vorgesehen ist.The center stops 6 are each assigned a compensation element 7, which is provided opposite the center stops 6 on the other longitudinal side web 3 and 4, respectively.

Das Ausgleichselement 7 ist elastisch federn ausgebildet und sorgt einerseits dafür, daß die Hohlprofile gegen die Mittenanschläge 6 stoßen. Andererseits werden etwaige Fertigungstoleranzen des Hohlprofils ausgeglichen. Ein Wackeln des Verbinders 1 im Hohlprofil wird vermieden.The compensating element 7 is resiliently formed and on the one hand ensures that the hollow sections abut against the middle stops 6. On the other hand, any manufacturing tolerances of the hollow profile are compensated. A wobble of the connector 1 in the hollow profile is avoided.

Der Boden 2 weist in jeder Einsteckrichtung eine Durchbrechung 8 auf.The bottom 2 has an opening 8 in each insertion direction.

Die Lamellen 5 können entgegen der Einsteckrichtung des Verbinders 1 in das Hohlprofil geneigt sein. Es ist desweiteren denkbar, daß die Lamellen 5 T-förmig ausgebildet sind und so die Anlagefläche der Lamellen an der Innenseite des Hohlprofiles vergrößert wird.The slats 5 may be inclined against the insertion of the connector 1 in the hollow profile. It is also conceivable that the lamellae 5 are T-shaped and thus the contact surface of the lamellae on the inside of the hollow profile is increased.

Im mittleren Bereich der Seitenstege 3 und 4 ist eine Höhenverringerung 15 vorgesehen. Wird der Verbinder 1 in ein Hohlprofil eingeschoben, das eine etwas zu geringe Höhe aufweist,.findet in diesem Fall eine Selbstanpassung des Steckverbinders 1 statt. An den oberen Enden der Seitenstege 3 und 4 bildet sich ein Span des Verbindermaterials. Dieser wird von der Vorderkante des Hohlprofils weggeschoben. Im Bereich der Höhenverringerung 15 wird dieser Span eben durch die Höhenverringerung nach innen in den Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Seitenstegen 3 und 4 hineingeleitet. Es wird damit verhindert, daß sich der Span zwischen die beiden Enden des Hohlprofiles klemmt und ein vollständiges Zusammenschieben verhindert.In the middle region of the side webs 3 and 4, a reduction in height 15 is provided. If the connector 1 is inserted into a hollow profile which has a slightly too low height, a self-adaptation of the connector 1 takes place in this case. At the upper ends of the side bars 3 and 4, a chip of the connector material is formed. This is pushed away from the front edge of the hollow profile. In the field of height reduction 15 of this chip is just led in by the reduction in height inward in the space between the two side bars 3 and 4. It is thus prevented that the chip clamps between the two ends of the hollow profile and prevents complete pushing together.

Auf der Unterseite des Bodens sind entlang und im Bereich der Seitenstege 3 und 4 Widerhaken 9 vorgesehen, die als Auflaufschrägen ausgebildet und in unterschiedlichen Abständen voneinander angeordnet sind.On the underside of the bottom barbs 9 are provided along and in the region of the side webs 3, which are formed as chamfers and arranged at different distances from each other.

Wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist, weisen die Reihen 10 und 11 der Widerhaken gleiche Abstände der Widerhaken untereinander auf. Die Reihen 12 und 13 weisen wiederum gleich Abstände auf, die sich jedoch von denen der Reihen 10 und 11 unterscheiden. Die Reihen 10 und 13 sind nebeneinander angeordnet ebenso wie die Reihen 11 und 12, so daß für jede Einsteckrichtung zwei unterschiedliche Abstände der Widerhaken 9 zur Verfügung stehen.As in Fig. 2 is shown, the rows 10 and 11 of the barbs equal distances between the barbs with each other. The rows 12 and 13 in turn have equal distances, which, however, differ from those of the rows 10 and 11. The rows 10 and 13 are arranged side by side as well as the rows 11 and 12, so that two different distances of the barbs 9 are available for each insertion direction.

Diese Widerhaken 9 können sich an in das Hohlprofil hineinragenden Perforationsprägungen abstützen. Durch die unterschiedlichen Abstände der Widerhaken 9 wird ein passgenaues Verhaken des Steckverbinders 1 im Hohlprofil gewährleistet. Die Hohlprofile stoßen exakt aneinander.These barbs 9 can be supported on projecting into the hollow profile Perforationsprägungen. Due to the different distances of the barbs 9 a snug fit of the connector 1 is ensured in the hollow profile. The hollow sections abut each other exactly.

Um beim Aufschieben des Hohlprofiles die Widerhaken 9 nicht zu beschädigen, sind diese auf einer zurückgesetzten Ebene 14 angeordnet und ihre maximale Höhe liegt unter der Bodenfläche 2.In order not to damage the barbs 9 when sliding the hollow profile, these are arranged on a recessed plane 14 and their maximum height is below the bottom surface second

Bei Hohlprofilen ohne Perforation können die Widerhaken 9 auch dieselbe Höhe haben, wie die Bodenfläche 2 oder diese sogar überragen. Die Widerhaken 9 können sich an der Innenseite des Hohlprofils abstützen und verhindern so ein versehentliches Ausziehen des Steckverbinders 1 aus dem Hohlprofil.For hollow sections without perforation, the barbs 9 can also have the same height as the bottom surface 2 or even tower over this. The barbs 9 can be supported on the inside of the hollow profile and thus prevent accidental removal of the connector 1 from the hollow profile.

Es ist auch denkbar, daß die Widerhaken 9 in jeder Reihe 10,11,12 und 13 jeweils unterschiedliche Abstände voneinander aufweisen.It is also conceivable that the barbs 9 in each row 10,11,12 and 13 each have different distances from each other.
