Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schneepflugräumleiste mit mindestens einem auswechselbaren Randsteinabweiser, die als Verbundkörper aus Gummi- und Stahlschichten aufgebaut ist und eine Schraubverbindung zur Befestigung eines auswechselbaren Randsteinabweisers aufweist, wobei diese Schraubverbindung zur Aufnahme einer Schraube dienende Bohrungen in dem Randsteinabweiser und der Schneepflugräumleiste sowie einen mit dem Gewinde der Schraube zusammenwirkenden separaten Gewindekörper aufweist,The invention relates to a Schneepflugräumleiste with at least one interchangeable Curb Abrasion, which is constructed as a composite body of rubber and steel layers and has a screw for attaching a replaceable Randsteinabweisers, said screw for receiving a screw holes in the curb and the Schneepflugräumleiste and one with the Thread of the screw has cooperating separate threaded body,

Schneepflugräumleisten der genannten Art sind beispielsweise aus der internationalen Veröffentlichung WO 2011/054444 A1 bekannt. Prinzipiell betrifft diese Erfindung eine Räumleiste für den Räumschild eines Schneepfluges, die oben mit einem stählernen Befestigungshals zur Befestigung am Räumschild versehen ist. Zudem sieht die Erfindung vor, dass zumindest an einem Seitenrand der Räumleiste ein Randsteinabweiser angeordnet ist. Der Randsteinabweiser, der beispielsweise aus verschleißfestem Stahlguss besteht, und die Räumleiste sind durch eine Schraube und eine daran angebrachte Mutter miteinander verschraubt.Schneepflugräumleisten of the type mentioned are for example from the international publication WO 2011/054444 A1 known. In principle, this invention relates to a scraper for the snow blade of a snow plow, which is provided above with a steel mounting neck for attachment to the plow blade. In addition, the invention provides that a Randsteinabweiser is disposed at least on one side edge of the scraper. The curb deflector, which consists for example of wear-resistant cast steel, and the scraper are bolted together by a screw and a nut attached thereto.

Der schematische Aufbau einer Schneeräumleiste ist in der DE 87 07 182 U1 offenbart. Diese Räumleiste hat eine in Fahrtrichtung vorne liegende Stahlplatte und eine zweite in Fahrtrichtung hinten liegende Stahlplatte, zwischen denen eine Schicht aus gummielastischem Material angeordnet ist.The schematic structure of a snow removal strip is in the DE 87 07 182 U1 disclosed. This scraper has a front in the direction of travel steel plate and a second rearward in the direction of travel steel plate, between which a layer of rubber-elastic material is arranged.

Die Schraubverbindungen zur Befestigung der Randsteinabweiser haben den Vorteil, dass sie eine leichte und schnelle Montage der Randsteinabweiser an Schneepflugräumleisten ermöglichen. Zur Montage wird eine Schraube durch die Bohrung eines Randsteinabweisers und weiter durch die Bohrung der als Verbundkörper aus Gummi- und Stahlschichten bestehenden Schneepflugräumleiste durchgesteckt. An das freiliegende Ende der durchgesteckten Schraube wird eine Mutter angeschraubt. Mithin ist bei Beschädigung des Randsteinabweisers ein leichter Austausch möglich.The screw connections for fixing the curb deflectors have the advantage that they allow easy and quick installation of the curb deflectors on snow plow spoilers. For installation, a screw is passed through the bore of a curb deflector and further through the bore of the existing as a composite body of rubber and steel layers Schneepflugräumleiste. At the exposed end of the screw inserted through a nut is screwed. Thus, in case of damage of the curb deflector easy replacement is possible.

Die Schraubverbindungen haben jedoch den Nachteil, dass der Schraubenschaft aufgrund des sich bewegenden und arbeitenden, gummielastischen Materials der Schneepflugräumleiste einem elastischen Widerlager ausgesetzt ist. Dies führt bei Stößen des Randsteinabweisers zu einer enormen Belastung des Schraubenschaftes. Zudem erhöht sich das Risiko, dass die Gewinde aus den Muttern herausgerissen werden.However, the screw connections have the disadvantage that the screw shaft is exposed to an elastic abutment due to the moving and working, rubber-elastic material of the snow plow spacers. This leads to collisions of the curb deflector to an enormous load on the screw shaft. In addition, the risk increases that the threads are torn out of the nuts.

Es ist somit Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Schraubverbindung zu entwickeln, die den Randsteinabweiser mit der Schneepflugräumleiste besser festspannt und somit ungünstige Belastungen auf den Schraubenschaft reduziert und ein Herausreißen des Gewindes verhindert.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a screw that clamps the curb stone with the snow plow trim strip better and thus reduces unfavorable loads on the screw shaft and prevents tearing out of the thread.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung eine Schneepflugräumleiste der eingangs genannten Art vor, bei der der Gewindekörper als in die Bohrung der Schneepflugräumleiste einsetzbarer Körper ausgebildet ist, der an die zum Schraubenkopf nächstliegende Stahlschicht der Schneepflugräumleiste abgestützt ist, an welcher auch der Randsteinabweiser abgestützt ist.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a Schneepflugräumleiste of the aforementioned type, in which the threaded body is designed as insertable into the bore of the Schneepflugräumleiste body which is supported on the closest to the screw head steel layer of the Schneepflugräumleiste on which the Randsteinabweiser is supported.

Da der Gewindekörper in die Bohrung der Schneepflugräumleiste eingesetzt ist und an der zum Schraubenkopf nächstliegenden Stahlschicht der Schneepflugräumleiste abgestützt ist, ist eine reibschlüssige Verbindung des Randsteinabweisers mit der Schneepflugräumleiste gesichert, ohne dass die Schraubverbindung elastischen Einflüssen aus dem gummielastischen Material ausgesetzt ist.Since the threaded body is inserted into the bore of the Schneepflugräumleiste and is supported on the nearest screw head steel layer of Schneepflugräumleiste, a frictional connection of the curb with the Schneepflugräumleiste is secured without the screw is subjected to elastic influences from the rubber-elastic material.

Das gummielastische Material umgibt den Gewindekörper über die Länge der Bohrung und hat keinen Einfluss auf die Schraubverbindung. Zudem ist ein längeres Gewinde einsetzbar, das sich über die gesamte Länge der Bohrung erstreckt. Das längere Gewinde innerhalb der Bohrung reduziert die Möglichkeit des Herausreißens des Gewindes. Bei dieser Lösung ist es nicht notwendig, dass der Gewindekörper oder der Schraubenschaft über Außenfläche der Schneepflugräumleiste hinausragen. Durch die geschützte Konstruktion ist zusätzlich das Schädigungsrisiko der Schraubelemente reduziert.The rubber-elastic material surrounds the threaded body over the length of the bore and has no influence on the screw connection. In addition, a longer thread can be used, which extends over the entire length of the bore. The longer thread within the bore reduces the possibility of tearing out the thread. In this solution, it is not necessary that the threaded body or the screw shank protrude beyond the outer surface of the Schneepflugräumleiste. The protected construction additionally reduces the risk of damage to the screw elements.

Eine weitere Gestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, dass dem Randsteinabweiser zu seiner Abstützung an der zum Schraubenkopf nächstliegenden Stahlschicht Stützelemente zugeordnet sind, die sich unmittelbar an der zum Schraubenkopf nächstliegenden Stahlschicht abstützen. Dies wird vorzugsweise genutzt, wenn zwischen dem Randabweiser und der zum Schraubenkopf nächstliegenden Stahlschicht eine weitere Gummischicht besteht. Zweck dieser Erweiterung ist es, eine unelastische Verbindung zu erhalten, bei der sich stets Metall gegen Metall abstützt.A further embodiment of the invention is that the Randsteinabweiser associated with its support on the nearest to the screw head steel layer supporting elements, which are supported directly on the nearest to the screw head steel layer. This is preferably used when there is a further rubber layer between the edge deflector and the steel layer closest to the screw head. The purpose of this extension is to obtain an inelastic connection in which metal is always supported against metal.

Eine Weiterbildung dieses Merkmals ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Stützelemente einstückig mit dem Randsteinabweiser verbunden sind. Dies ist denkbar, indem die Stützelemente in den Randsteinabweiser eingegossen sind. Mithin ist die Montage durch die Zentrierung leichter auszuführen und die gesamte Konstruktion weist einen festeren Halt auf.A development of this feature is characterized in that the support elements are integrally connected to the curb deflector. This is conceivable by the support elements are cast in the curb deflector. Thus, the assembly is easier to perform by the centering and the entire structure has a tighter grip.

Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Gewindekörper eine Hülse ist. Dies gewährleistet eine gleichmäßige Verteilung der Belastung auf den Gewindekörper, da das Gewinde länger ist als zum Beispiel bei einer üblichen Schraubenmutter. Daraus resultiert, dass die Gewinde unter normalen Bedingungen nicht herauszureißen sind. Damit wird das Ausfallrisiko des Randsteinabweisers deutlich reduziert.A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the threaded body is a sleeve. This ensures a uniform distribution of the load on the threaded body, since the thread is longer than, for example, in a conventional nut. As a result, the threads are not torn out under normal conditions. This significantly reduces the risk of failure of the curb deflector.

Es hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn der Gewindekörper entlang seiner Mantelfläche einen Schnitt aufweist. Dieser Schnitt bildet eine Aussparung, die axial am Mantel zur Wellenachse verläuft. Diese konstruktive Maßnahme verhindert ein Tordieren des Gewindekörpers, während die Schraube eingedreht wird. Die Montage ist somit bedeutend leichter durchzuführen, da der Körper formschlüssig gesichert ist. Folglich ist nur die Schraube zu drehen.It has proved to be advantageous if the threaded body has a cut along its lateral surface. This section forms a recess which extends axially on the jacket to the shaft axis. This design prevents twisting of the threaded body while the screw is screwed becomes. The assembly is thus much easier to carry out, since the body is positively secured. Consequently, only the screw is to be turned.

Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, dass der Schraubendurchmesser kleiner als der Bohrungsdurchmesser der zum Schraubenkopf nächstliegenden Stahlschicht der Schneepflugräumleiste ist, und diese beiden Durchmesser kleiner als der Gewindekörperdurchmesser sind. Dieses Ausführungsbeispiel erlaubt eine möglichst einfache und schnelle Fertigung der Schraubverbindung nach Lehre der Erfindung. Zudem weist der Gewindekörper einen Kragen auf, der über den abzustützenden Teil hinausgeht und in die zum Schraubenkopf nächstliegende Stahlschicht eingelassen ist. Neben dem vorgenannten Schnitt ist dieser Kragen ein weiteres Hilfsmittel zur leichten und schnellen Montage.Furthermore, it is provided that the screw diameter is smaller than the bore diameter of the screw head closest to the steel layer of the Schneepflugräumleiste, and these two diameters are smaller than the threaded body diameter. This embodiment allows the simplest and quickest possible manufacture of the screw according to the teaching of the invention. In addition, the threaded body has a collar which extends beyond the part to be supported and is embedded in the steel layer closest to the screw head. In addition to the above cut this collar is another tool for easy and quick installation.

Eine alternative Ausführungsform besteht darin, dass in die Bohrung der Schneepflugräumleiste ein Stopfen einsetzbar ist. Wird somit vom Einsatz eines Randsteinabweisers abgesehen, lassen sich die Bohrungen im Randsteinabweiser und der Schneepflugräumleiste durch einen Stopfen schützen. Dies verhindert, dass die Bohrungen verschmutzen oder verstopfen und somit unbrauchbar werden.An alternative embodiment is that a plug can be inserted into the bore of the snow plow spoiler. If you do not use a curb deflector, you can protect the holes in the curb deflector and the snow plow scraper bar with a plug. This prevents the holes from becoming dirty or clogged and thus becoming unusable.

Um den Einsatz der Schraubverbindung möglichst lange zu gewährleisten, weist der Gewindekörper einen korrosionsbeständigen Werkstoff auf. Schnee wird häufig mit Salz bestreut, um die Straßen frei zu bekommen. Diese Salze können jedoch die Gewindekörper beschädigen bzw. korrodieren lassen, sofern diese nicht dagegen geschützt sind. Dies wird durch den korrosionsbeständigen Werkstoff erfüllt. Somit wird eine Unbrauchbarkeit der Schraubverbindung durch chemische Unbeständigkeit ausgeschlossen.To ensure the use of the screw as long as possible, the threaded body has a corrosion-resistant material. Snow is often sprinkled with salt to clear the streets. However, these salts can damage or corrode the threaded bodies unless they are protected. This is fulfilled by the corrosion-resistant material. Thus, a usability of the screw is excluded by chemical instability.

Schließlich sieht die Erfindung ein Verfahren vor zum lösbaren Verbinden mit einer Schraubverbindung zur Befestigung eines auswechselbaren Randsteinabweisers an einer Schneepflugräumleiste, die als Verbundkörper aus Gummi- und Stahlschichten aufgebaut ist, wobei diese Schraubverbindung zur Aufnahme einer Schraube dienende Bohrungen in dem Randsteinabweiser und der Schneepflugräumleiste sowie einen mit dem Gewinde der Schraube zusammenwirkenden separaten Gewindekörper aufweist. Kennzeichnend für dieses Verfahren ist:

  • dass der Gewindekörper in die Bohrung der Schneepflugräumleiste eingesetzt wird,
  • dass der Randsteinabweiser an die Schneepflugräumleiste gelegt wird, wobei sich die Bohrungen decken,
  • dass die Schraube seitens des Randsteinabweisers durch die Bohrungen mit dem Gewindekörper derart verschraubt wird, dass anschließend die zum Schraubenkopf nächstliegende Stahlschicht der Schneepflugräumleiste zwischen dem Schraubenkopf und dem Gewindekörper eingespannt ist.
Finally, the invention provides a method for releasably connecting with a screw connection for attaching a replaceable Curb Repellent on a Schneepflugräumleiste, which is constructed as a composite of rubber and steel layers, said screw for receiving a screw holes in the curb and the Schneepflugräumleiste and a with the thread of the screw having cooperating separate threaded body. Characteristic of this method is:
  • that the threaded body is inserted into the bore of the snow plow spoiler,
  • that the curb deflector is placed on the snow plow spoiler, covering the holes,
  • in that the screw is screwed on the part of the curb block by the holes with the threaded body in such a way that subsequently the steel layer closest to the screw head of the snow plow space between the screw head and the threaded body is clamped.

Dieses Verfahren garantiert, dass ausschließlich die zum Schraubenkopf nächstliegende Stahlschicht der Schneepflugräumleiste mit der Schraubenverbindung eingespannt wird. Der Ausschluss der Gummischichten bedeutet eine definierte Belastung der Schraubverbindung und somit eine möglichst hohe Einsatzdauer.This procedure guarantees that only the steel layer closest to the screw head of the snow plow spacers is clamped with the screw connection. The exclusion of the rubber layers means a defined load on the screw connection and thus the highest possible service life.
