Abstract

The aim of the invention is to provide a glued and/or welded tongue-and-groove joint between especially flat structural elements (1, 3), which can be established in a simple and reliable manner. For this purpose, the distance of the groove fins (4) to the tongue section to receive is overdimensioned during joining, said overdimensioning disappearing after joining due to a deformation of the groove fins (4). Alternatively, one the groove fins (4) is configured as a thin strip element (5) which is fixed in an adapted receiving groove (6) of the groove-forming structural element.

Description

Geklebte und/oder geschweißte Nut-Federverbindung zwischen plattenförmigen Bauelementen Glued and / or welded tongue and groove connection between plate-shaped components

Die Erfindung betrifft eine geklebte und/oder geschweißte Nut-Federverbindung zwischen plattenförmigen Bauelementen.The invention relates to a glued and / or welded tongue and groove connection between plate-shaped components.

Bei gattungsgemäßen Nut-Federverbindungen zwischen relativ langen plattenförmigen Bauelementen kann es beim Fügen durch eine gewisse Welligkeit der plattenförmigen Bauelemente zu einem Verklemmen zwischen „Nut und Feder" kommen.In the case of generic tongue and groove connections between relatively long plate-shaped components, a jamming between the “tongue and groove” can occur when joining due to a certain ripple of the plate-shaped components.

Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit einer Beseitigung dieses Problemes . Alternative Lösungen zeigen die Ansprüche 1 und 2 auf .The invention is concerned with eliminating this problem. Alternative solutions show claims 1 and 2.

Zweckmäßige und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche .Appropriate and advantageous refinements are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die Lösung nach dem Anspruch 1 beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, ein Fügen in der Nut durch ein vorhandenes Spiel beim Fügen zu erleichtern und dieses Spiel anschließend nach dem Fügen wieder zu beseitigen und zwar durch ein Zusammendrücken der Nutstege gegenüber dem Federbereich des anzubindenden Bauelementes. Das Zusammendrücken kann in einem solchen Maße erfolgen, dass ein Einpressen einer zu diesem Zweck zerklüfteten Oberfläche der Nutstege in den Federbereich erfolgen kann. Bei einer Verklebung zwischen Nut und Steg wird auf diese Weise noch zusätzlich eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung erreicht. Bei einer Klebeverbindung ergibt sich zusätzlich der Vorteil, dass bei noch nicht zusammengedrückten Nutstegen ein ausreichender Klebstoff-Aufnahmeraum zur Verfügung steht.The solution according to claim 1 is based on the general idea of facilitating joining in the groove by means of an existing play during joining and then eliminating this play after the joining again, namely by compressing the groove webs with respect to the tongue area of the component to be connected. The compression can take place to such an extent that a jagged surface of the groove webs for this purpose can be pressed into the tongue area. When gluing between the groove and the web, a non-positive connection is also achieved in this way. In the case of an adhesive connection, this also results the advantage that there is sufficient adhesive space available for the groove webs that have not yet been compressed.

Bei der alternativen Lösung nach Anspruch 2 wird einer der beiden Nutstege von einem plattenförmigen Streifenelement gebildet, das als Zusatzteil in einer Aufnahmenut an dem die „Verbindungsnut" bildenden Bauelement durch Einschieben fixierbar ist . Das Einschieben des streifenförmigen Elementes in dessen Aufnahmenut kann beispielsweise nach dem Fügen der zu verbindenden Teile erfolgen. Es kann jedoch auch bereits vor dem Fügen der zu verbindenden Bauelemente bereits in, dem betreffenden Bauteil fixiert sein. Da das dünne Streifenelement aus biegsamem Material bestehen kann, kann auch hier die Fügenut ein beim Fügen der Bauelemente nachträglich aufhebbares Spiel besitzen. So besteht auch hier für eine Klebeverbindung ein guter Aufnahmeraum für den Kleber. Durch zerklüftete Anlageflächen in den Klebebereichen kann noch zusätzlich eine gute Kleberaufnähme an den Klebeflächen erreicht werden.In the alternative solution according to claim 2, one of the two groove webs is formed by a plate-shaped strip element which can be fixed as an additional part in a receiving groove on the component which forms the “connecting groove” by insertion of the parts to be connected, but it can also be fixed in the relevant component before the components to be connected are joined in. Since the thin strip element can be made of flexible material, the groove can also have a play that can be subsequently removed when the components are joined So there is also a good space for the adhesive for an adhesive connection. In addition, good adhesive absorption on the adhesive surfaces can be achieved by means of jagged contact surfaces in the adhesive areas.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung dargestellt.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing.

In dieser zeigenIn this show

Fig. 1 einen Schnitt durch eine erste Art einer Fügeverbindung ,1 shows a section through a first type of joint connection,

Fig. 2 ein Schnitt durch eine Fügeverbindung in der Art nach Fig. 1 in lediglich einer anderen Ausführungsform,2 shows a section through a joint connection in the manner of FIG. 1 in only another embodiment,

Fig. 3 eine Fügeverbindung in einer von den Fig. 1 und 2 abweichenden Art.Fig. 3 shows a joint connection in a different from FIGS. 1 and 2.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 ist ein als Hohlprofil ausgebildetes erstes plattenförmiges Bauelement 1 mit einer Fügenut 2 versehen zur Aufnahme eines plattenförmigen zweiten Bauelementes 3 aus Kunststoff. Dieses zweite aus Kunststoff bestehende Bauelement ist in dem gezeichneten Beispiel eine Kunststoff-Sandwichplatte .In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, a first plate-shaped component 1 designed as a hollow profile is provided with a joining groove 2 for receiving a plate-shaped second component 3 made of plastic. This second one In the example shown, plastic component is a plastic sandwich panel.

Bei der gattungsgemäßen Nut-Federverbindung stellt das zweite plattenförmige Bauelement 3 selbst in seinem Randbereich die betreffende „Feder" dar. Die Stege 4 der Fügenut 2 sind V- förmig aufgeweitet . In diesem Zustand der Fügenut 2 erfolgt das Einführen des zweiten Bauelementes 3 in die Fügenut 4. Nach erfolgtem Einführen des zweiten Bauteiles 3 in die Füge- nut 2 werden die Stege 4 auf den „Feder"-Bereich des zweiten Bauelementes 3 aufgepreßt .In the generic tongue and groove connection, the second plate-shaped component 3 itself represents the relevant “tongue” in its edge region. The webs 4 of the joining groove 2 are widened in a V-shape. In this state of the joining groove 2, the second component 3 is inserted into the Joining groove 4. After the second component 3 has been inserted into the joining groove 2, the webs 4 are pressed onto the “tongue” area of the second component 3.

Die an dem zweiten Bauelement 3 zur Anlage kommenden Oberflächen der Stege 4 sind zerklüftet ausgebildet, so dass bei einer geeigneten Materialpaarung zwischen erstem und zweitem Bauteil 1,3 ein Eingraben der Spitzen in dem zerklüfteten Bereich in das zweite Bauelement möglich ist. Das erste Bauelement 1 kann beispielsweise ein Aluminiumstrangpreßprofil sein.The surfaces of the webs 4 which come into contact with the second component 3 are designed in a jagged manner, so that with a suitable material pairing between the first and second component 1, 3 it is possible to bury the tips in the jagged area into the second component. The first component 1 can be an aluminum extruded profile, for example.

Bei der Ausbildung der Fügeverbindung nach Fig. 2 ist im Prinzip lediglich einer der beiden Nutstege 4 nach dem Fügen auf das zweite Bauelement 3 aufzubiegen bzw. aufzupressen.In principle, when forming the joint connection according to FIG. 2, only one of the two groove webs 4 is to be bent or pressed onto the second component 3 after the joining.

Bei der Fügeverbindung nach Fig. 3 wird die Fügenut 2 an dem ersten Bauelement 1 durch ein Zusatzelement, nämlich ein dünnes Streifenelement 5 ausgebildet. Das erste Bauelement 1, das die Fügenut 2 enthalten soll, besitzt zur Aufnahme und Fixierung des dünnen Streifenelementes 5 eine Aufnahmenut 6, in der das Streifenelement 5 beispielsweise zur Fixierung eingeklebt sein kann.3, the groove 2 is formed on the first component 1 by an additional element, namely a thin strip element 5. The first component 1, which is to contain the joining groove 2, has a receiving groove 6 for receiving and fixing the thin strip element 5, in which the strip element 5 can be glued, for example for fixing.

Das Streifenelement 5 kann beispielsweise erst nach einem Fügen der beiden Bauelemente 1 und 3 in die Aufnahmenut 6 eingeschoben und dort fixiert werden. Innerhalb der von dem Streifenelement 5 gebildeten Fügenut 2 kann die Verbindung zwischen den Nutstegen 4, von denen einer das Streifenelement 5 ist, wiederum durch Kleben und/oder Schweißen gegeben sein.The strip element 5 can, for example, only be inserted into the receiving groove 6 after the two components 1 and 3 have been joined and fixed there. The connection can be made within the joining groove 2 formed by the strip element 5 between the groove webs 4, one of which is the strip element 5, again by gluing and / or welding.

Das Streifenelement 5 kann allerdings auch bereits vor dem Fügen der beiden Bauelemente 1 und 3 in der Aufnahmenut 6 fixiert sein. In diesem Fall besteht das Streifenelement 5 vorteilhafterweise aus biegsamen Material, wobei zum Fügen der Bauelemente 1, 3 die Fügenut zunächst - wie bei der Ausführung in Fig. 1 beschrieben - nachträglich abzubauendes Spiel besitzt . The strip element 5 can, however, also be fixed in the receiving groove 6 before the two components 1 and 3 are joined. In this case, the strip element 5 advantageously consists of flexible material, with the joining groove initially having play to be dismantled, as described in the embodiment in FIG. 1, for joining the components 1, 3.
