Description

The present invention relates to a system for forming a supporting structure of a vehicle body of a vehicle, in particular of a rail vehicle, and to such a supporting structure. Furthermore, a carriage body is described which is provided at least in parts by means of such a system.It is known that supporting structures for car bodies of vehicles, in particular rail vehicles, are assembled with the aid of different profiles. Such profiles are semifinished products which can preferably be produced by the extrusion process. During the construction process, an individual design with a plurality of different profiles is defined for each type of car body. Accordingly, it is necessary to examine and select each individual profile in terms of maximum and continuous mechanical strength, environmental suitability, design aspects, cost, etc.For example, WO 2013 / 077 192 A1 discloses a vehicle body of a rail vehicle which comprises a base frame, a lateral body structure, a gable-side body structure and a roof body structure, in the interior of which an interior material is provided which has the function of improving the thermal and sound insulation and the construction. By welding together different profiles in a transition region between roof body structure and side body structure, a corresponding connection point between side and roof or between side and floor is defined.WO 00 / 56 589 A1 describes extruded sheet-like profiles with which it is possible to produce sheet-like structures running straight, kinked and polygonally. For this purpose, a longitudinally running U-shaped recess is formed on one of the side edges of an extruded profile, which recess is bounded by two webs. One of the webs has a cylindrical bead at its free end. This can engage in a groove on the other of the two side edges of a further extruded profile, so that the two extruded profiles can be pivoted about the bead received in the groove.DE 10 2007 035 772 A1 describes a carriage body for a rail vehicle having a supporting structure made of individual extruded profiles. The end faces of the extruded profiles can engage in one another.Such constructions of car bodies of rail vehicles must always be constructed in detail in a final position and calculated with regard to requirements. This also relates in particular to the semifinished products used for this purpose.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a system for forming a supporting structure of a car body, whereby the construction process and the selection of semi-finished products are facilitated, in particular wherein an effort of defining a supporting structure of a car body is reduced, wherein the car body has a simple and robust structure and at the same time brings about an improvement in the design possibilities and the effort in a design of a vehicle or a vehicle platform.The above object is achieved by a system for forming a support structure of a vehicle body, in particular a rail vehicle, according to claim 1 and by a support structure comprising such a system according to claim 12. Alternatively or additionally, a car body with the above supporting structure according to claim 14 and a vehicle having such a car body according to claim 15 for achieving the object are proposed.The system has a profile element and a profile component connectable thereto for forming the supporting structure. By connecting the profile element and the profile component to one another by welding, the supporting structure is formed. The support structure can have a multiplicity of profile elements and profile components connected to one another by welding, by riveting and / or by screwing, with the result that the support structure forms the vehicle body at least in parts.According to one embodiment, the profile component and / or profile element are to be regarded as being equivalent and / or replaceable with respect to a technical function. In particular, the use of the different terms "profile element" and "profile component" also serves the purpose of being able to differentiate them in the description of the present disclosure. Additionally or alternatively, however, it would also be possible in this context to refer to a first profile element, a second profile element, a further profile element and / or a first, second, further profile component.The profile element thus has an element profile direction which extends in an element profile axis. Perpendicular thereto, an element profile plane can be defined with an element vertical axis running therein and a corresponding element vertical direction and with an element transverse axis running in the plane and a corresponding element transverse direction.The profile element can be subdivided with respect to the element profile plane into an element connecting section and an element body adjoining the latter. The element connecting section is designed to be able to form, engage and / or support a welded connection with the profile component and / or with a further (additional) profile element or component.The profile element has, in the region of the element connecting section-in relation to the element profile plane-a first element stop, a first welding chamfer, a second element stop and a second welding chamfer, wherein in particular in the element transverse direction and / or in the element vertical direction between the first element stop and the first welding chamfer a first element gas pocket is provided and / or between the second element stop and the second welding chamfer a second element gas pocket is provided.An element contour of the profile element is thus designed in the element profile plane in such a way that the first element stop is arranged adjacent to the first welding chamfer. In particular, the first element stop is adjacent to the first element gas pocket and this is in turn arranged adjacent to the first welding chamfer. In particular, an element surface of the profile element is designed in such a way that a surface section of the first element stop merges-optionally while making an angle or bending-into a surface section of the first element gas pocket, wherein the latter merges in turn-optionally while making an angle or bending-further into a surface section of the first welding chamfer. Accordingly, the first element gas pocket can be provided lying in the element profile plane between the first element stop and the first welding chamfer. The foregoing applies either as an alternative or additionally to the second element stop, to the second welding chamfer, and optionally to the second element gas pocket.Due to the nature of the profile element as a profile-like semi-finished product, the first element stop, the first element gas pocket and the first element welding chamfer, and / or the second element stop, the second element gas pocket and the second element welding chamfer extend at least over a part of an overall length in the profile direction of the profile element, for example over more than 50% of the overall length, preferably completely over the overall length.The profile component also has a component profile direction which extends in a component profile axis. Perpendicular to this, a component profile plane can be defined with a component vertical axis running therein and a corresponding component vertical direction and with a component transverse axis running in the plane and a corresponding component transverse direction.The profile component has, on a component connecting section in the component profile plane, a first component radius surface with a first component radius and a second component radius surface with a second component radius. The component connecting section adjoins a component body and serves for forming a welded connection to the profile element and / or to an additional profile element. The first component radius and the second component radius have an identical component center point.Preferably, the first component radius and the second component radius are curved in the same direction in the component profile plane, so that the component radii in the component connecting section are both formed convexly or both concavely with respect to the component body. In particular, the component connecting portion can be formed as a rounded, preferably partially circular, outer surface which forms and / or carries the first component radius surface and the second component radius surface.Additionally or alternatively, the profile component is configured such that the first component radius surface, the first component radius, the second component radius surface, the second component radius and / or further component radius surfaces, component radii, connecting sections extend / extend at least over part of an overall length in the component profile direction of the profile component, for example over more than 50% of the overall length, preferably completely over the overall length.In particular, the surface details, specific shapes, bulges, projections, corners, curvatures, radii and / or further two-dimensional geometric features of the profile element, of the profile component and / or further profile elements, profile components and / or additional profile elements described in the context of the present disclosure are to be understood preferably and in particular exclusively lying in a respective profile plane, in particular with respect to a respective profile cross section.Furthermore, both the first element stop and the second element stop are provided on the element connecting portion in such a way, and the first component radius surface and the second component radius surface are provided on a component connecting portion of the profile component in such a way that the profile element and the profile component can assume a plurality of different relative positions, each with an individual angle between element vertical axis and component vertical axis, forming a statically at least determined body contact with one another. The first welding chamfer then forms a first welding notch for a first welding seam with the first component radius surface, and the second welding chamfer forms a second welding notch for a second welding seam with the second component radius surface. In particular, the first welding notch and the second welding notch are oriented in the element / component profile direction and extend in particular over a substantial part, preferably over at least 30%, in particular over at least 50%, further preferably over at least 70%, of the profile length of the profile element and of the profile component.The plurality of different relative positions is on the one hand achieved in that, in order to achieve statically at least certain body contact, the element profile direction and the component profile direction are aligned identically and jointly. The profile element and the profile component can consequently be oriented such that the element profile axis and the component profile axis run parallel to one another, in particular are aligned and fall into one another.On the other hand, the plurality of different relative positions are made possible in that the first element stop with the first component radius surface and the second element stop with the second component radius surface each enter into a contact with normal force. In addition to the common alignment in the profile direction, the element connecting section and the component connecting section can be pressed against one another. By providing a normal force for this purpose-the profile element is pressed against the profile component-the first element stop bears against the first component radius surface and the second element stop bears against the second component radius surface. By now defining and assuming a desired and / or predetermined relative position of profile component and profile element by the statically at least determined contact, the desired relative position of profile element and profile component with respect to one another can be permanently fixed by applying a first weld seam in the first weld notch and / or by applying a second weld seam in the second weld notch.The term "statically at least determined" is to be understood in such a way that-in the presence of a normal force sufficient for this purpose-the profile element and profile component cannot slip and / or wobble relative to one another. In particular, the normal force between the profile element and profile component is selected such that the adhesion force caused thereby between the respective surfaces of the stops and the respective contact surfaces prevents slipping in the component / element transverse direction, component / element vertical direction and / or in the component / element profile direction. A person who is involved in assembling the profile element and profile component is able to determine and apply the forces necessary for this purpose. If desired, such a person would be able to identify and use necessary tools for establishing such a normal force (e.g. screw clamps, suitable clamps). The person in question would also ensure that no unusual relative forces, in particular acting in the component / element transverse direction, component / element vertical direction and / or in the component / element profile direction, can act on the profile element and / or profile component, so that the previously defined statically at least determined relative position of profile element and profile component is resolved or changed.According to one exemplary embodiment, the element connecting section forms a type of hinge, joint and / or rotation guide via the element stops for the component connecting section in such a way that the profile component is mounted in the element connecting section such that it can rotate about a profile axis-vice versa.The embodiment described above makes it possible for the first time to produce a supporting structure having a profile element and a profile component with different alignment configurations, wherein in each case the same types and / or embodiments of semifinished products, in particular of profile elements and / or profile components, can be used. In particular, it is made possible that a plurality of different positions within supporting structures can be depicted using identical semi-finished products. This reduces the number of semi-finished products and allows different boundary conditions in the development of different platforms for car bodies. For example, the profile element and the profile component can constitute a first supporting structure, wherein the profile element and the profile component can be aligned and welded to one another in a first relative position-in relation to the element / component profile plane. The first support structure formed in this way can now form a first section, for example of a floor or a roof of the car body. If, on the other hand, the profile element and the profile component are aligned and welded in a second relative position with respect to one another, a second supporting structure formed thereby can form a second section, for example of a floor or a roof of the car body. Furthermore, for example, the above-described relative positions differ in that the element vertical axis in the first relative position and the element vertical axis in the second relative position are inclined with respect to one another-in relation to the element / component profile plane, and the component vertical axis was assumed to be an invariable reference axis-and enclose a respectively different first angle and second angle.In this way, the advantage is achieved for the first time that the same type of profile element and profile component can be used as standard component for forming different supporting structures, in particular different supporting structures with different angles. This is accompanied by a reduction in the testing effort of semi-finished products for producing different supporting structures.According to one embodiment of the preceding exemplary embodiment, it is disclosed that the element connecting portion and / or the component connecting portion is formed such that the first welding notch and the second welding notch are spaced apart from one another by a profile welding distance, in particular wherein the profile welding distance is at least 20 mm, in particular at least 30 mm, preferably at least 50 mm and / or at least 50%, in particular at least 80%, preferably at least 100%, of an element width of the profile element and / or of a component width of the profile component. In particular, the profile welding distance is determined by the arrangement and a distance connected thereto between the first component radius surface and the second component radius surface and / or by the arrangement and a distance connected thereto between the first element stop and the second element stop.According to a further embodiment, the system can have an additional profile element, so that a supporting structure formed therewith is formed by at least one profile element, a profile component and the additional profile element. The additional profile element has, in particular analogously to the profile element, an additional element profile direction with an additional element profile axis, an additional element profile plane extending perpendicular thereto, an additional element transverse direction extending therein with an additional element transverse axis extending in this respect, and an additional element vertical direction extending in the additional element profile plane with an additional element vertical axis extending in this respect.Furthermore, the additional profile element is equipped on an additional element connecting section with a first additional element stop, a first additional element welding chamfer, in particular with a first additional element gas pocket arranged between the additional element stop and the additional element welding chamfer, and with a second additional element stop, a first additional element welding chamfer, in particular with a first additional element gas pocket arranged between the additional element stop and the additional element welding chamfer. In particular, the previously described configuration of the additional element connecting section takes place analogously and / or partially identically to the previously described element connecting section of the profile element.In addition to providing the additional profile element, the profile component is formed with a further component connecting section which-analogously to the component connecting section described above-has a third component radius surface running perpendicularly in each case to the component profile plane and having a third component radius and a likewise perpendicularly running fourth component radius surface having a fourth component radius.The additional element connecting section and the further component connecting section are formed and arranged in such a way, in particular both the first additional element stop and the second additional element stop are formed and provided on the additional element connecting section in such a way, and the third component radius surface and the fourth component radius surface are formed and arranged on the further component connecting section in such a way that the additional profile element and the profile component can assume a plurality of different relative positions with respect to one another, in each case at an individual angle between the additional element vertical axis and the component vertical axis, forming a statically at least determined body contact, wherein the first additional element welding chamfer with the third component radius surface forms a third welding notch for a third welding seam and the second additional element welding chamfer with the fourth component radius surface forms a fourth welding notch for a fourth welding seam. In order to achieve this, the additional profile element and the profile component can be aligned, in particular aligned, jointly with respect to the additional element profile direction and component profile direction, and wherein a normally force-loaded contacting of the first additional element stop and third component radius surface and of the second additional element stop and fourth component radius surface is established. The achievement of a defined, but adjustable relative position and of the statically at least determined body contact between the additional profile element and the profile component takes place in this case analogously to the establishment of the previously described body contact between the profile element and the profile component; accordingly, details of the preceding relevant disclosure can be transferred to the connection between the additional profile element and the profile component.The present exemplary embodiment enables the profile element to be connected to the first and the second element stop via the profile component to the additional profile element. The support structure formed in this way is formed at least from the profile element, the additional profile element and the profile component lying therebetween.Profile element and profile component are carrier-like semi-finished products, preferably produced by means of extrusion processes from an aluminum alloy, and thus each have a profile direction in which the structure of the respective profile element and / or profile component is substantially invariable. In the profile direction, a respective profile element and / or profile component has an identical cross section.Profile element, profile component, possible additional profile elements and / or additional profile components can be, for example, a profile-like support element having an, in particular complex, inner grid structure.Additionally or alternatively, it is conceivable that the profile element, profile component, possible additional profile elements and / or additional profile components is / are designed as a tube, strip, semi-finished product with an at least partially circular or annular cross section, or L, T, I carrier.Preferably, the profile element, profile component, possible additional profile elements and / or additional profile components are designed as double-walled extruded profiles made of an aluminum alloy. Double-walling can be achieved by providing essentially continuous wall regions running essentially in the vertical direction. These wall regions, which can be designated as profile walls, delimit a corresponding profile in the corresponding transverse direction. The term "substantially continuous" in this context means that these wall regions run continuously, in particular wherein interruptions, such as bores, recesses, incisions, are possible, however.According to one embodiment of the preceding exemplary embodiment, it is disclosed that the profile component is formed in such a way, in particular that the first and third component radius surfaces and / or the second and fourth component radius surfaces are arranged in such a way that the first welding notch and the third welding notch and / or the second welding notch and the fourth welding notch are spaced apart from one another by a supporting structure welding distance, in particular wherein the supporting structure welding distance is at least 20 mm, in particular at least 30 mm, preferably at least 50 mm and / or at least 50%, in particular at least 80%, preferably at least 100% of a component width of the profile component. In particular, the supporting structure welding distance is determined by the arrangement and a distance connected thereto between the first and third component radius surfaces and / or between the second and fourth component radius surfaces.As an alternative to the preceding exemplary embodiment - comprising the profile element, the profile component and the additional profile element, wherein the profile component comprises a first and second radius surface for contacting by the first and second element stop of the profile element and for forming the first and the second welding notch for the first and the second welding seam, and wherein the profile component further comprises a third and fourth radius surface for contacting by the first and the second additional element stop of the additional profile element and for forming the third and the fourth welding notch for the third and the fourth welding seam - an inverse construction principle of the system for forming the supporting structure with a profile element, profile component and an additional profile component is proposed:The additional profiled component has an additional component profiled axis extending in an additional component profiled direction, an additional component profiled plane extending perpendicularly thereto, and an additional component vertical axis extending therein, a first additional component radius surface extending perpendicularly to the additional component profiled plane and having a first additional component radius surface having a second additional component radius at a first component connecting portion.Furthermore, the profile element according to the inverse exemplary embodiment has, on a further element connecting section, in each case a third element stop, a third welding chamfer, and in particular a third gas pocket arranged therebetween, a fourth element stop, a fourth welding chamfer, and in particular a fourth gas pocket arranged therebetween. Consequently, the profile element is designed to connect the profile component and the additional profile component to one another, wherein respective stops are provided on the profile element for contacting corresponding radial surfaces of the profile component and of the additional profile component.Stops and radius surfaces are arranged and formed in such a way-analogously to the preceding exemplary embodiment-that, by means of joint alignment of the additional component profile direction and the element profile direction, and by means of normal-force-loaded contacting of the third element stop and the first additional component radius surface and of the fourth element stop and the second additional component radius surface, the additional profile component and the profile element can assume a plurality of different relative positions with respect to one another, each with an individual angle between the additional component vertical axis and the element vertical axis, forming a statically at least determined body contact, wherein the third welding chamfer with the first additional component radius surface forms a third welding notch for a third welding seam and the fourth welding chamfer with the second additional component radius surface forms a fourth welding notch for a fourth welding seam. It is explicitly disclosed that modes of action and preferred arrangements of the above-described exemplary embodiments can be transferred to the present inverse exemplary embodiment, so that it is conceivable, for example, to implement a supporting structure welding distance of the additional profile component of the present inverse exemplary embodiment according to the supporting structure welding distance of the additional profile element according to the above-described exemplary embodiment.According to a further, independent embodiment, at least one of the welding notches, in particular all welding notches, is configured for the introduction of a V or HV welding seam. Additionally or alternatively, at least one of the welding notches, in particular all welding notches, encloses / en an angle between respective welding chamfer and respective radius surface of more than 10°, in particular more than 30°, preferably more than 50°, and / or not more than 100°, in particular not more than 70°, preferably not more than 60°. Preferably, the angle at the notch base of the corresponding welding notch is to be taken into consideration.In particular, the welding notches are configured such that no stump portion is present in the sense of a stump or HY seam, and / or that the welding notch enables a stump seam.Furthermore, it is disclosed to configure at least one element, component, additional element and / or additional component stop, in particular all stops, in such a way that at least one of the welding bevels, in particular all welding bevels, has / are a width of more than 2 mm, in particular more than 3 mm, preferably more than 4 mm, and / or not more than 15 mm, in particular not more than 12 mm, preferably not more than 10 mm. In this way, it is made possible to provide a sufficiently strong material connection between profile element, profile component, additional profile element, and / or additional profile component for the transmission of force.According to a specific embodiment, the element connecting portion, the component connecting portion, the additional element connecting portion and / or the further element connecting portion is / are formed such that at least one of the welding notches, in particular all welding notches, is / are opened towards a support structure environment of the support structure. In particular, this is achieved by at least one of the stops, in particular all stops and at least one of the welding bevels, in particular all welding bevels, being arranged on the respective stops in such a way that they are oriented toward the support structure environment. Such an alignment is present when a person located in the support structure environment can look at a welding chamfer at an angle of view of at least 30°, in particular of at least 60°, preferably of at least 70°. The angle of view is defined between the orientation of the surface of a respective welding chamfer (with respect to a respective cross section) and an axis of view between person and welding chamfer.The described configuration of the welding notch(s) and / or of the welding chamfer(s) makes it possible to access the respective welding notch for welding.At least one welding chamfer, in particular the first welding chamfer and the second welding chamfer of the profile element, preferably all welding chamfers, can be formed on profile walls and / or in each case by a profile wall.The term "support structure environment" describes a space outside the support structure formed or to be formed, in particular with a minimum distance to the support structure of at least 50% of an element width, a component width or an additional element width.According to one configuration, the third component radius and the fourth component radius, in particular all component radii, have an identical component center point. Accordingly, the component connecting section forms a circular outer contour with a constant radius which is substantially constant at least in the region of the component surfaces. The first component surface and the second component surface and / or the third component surface and the fourth component surface lie on the circular outer contour.In this way, the body contact between profile element and profile component, and / or between profile component and additional profile element, and / or profile element and additional profile component is improved in different relative positions. In particular, during the setting of the desired relative position, this prevents an undesired relative displacement of profile element and profile component, of profile component and additional profile element, and / or of profile element and additional profile component in the element transverse direction, in the component transverse direction, and / or in the additional element / additional component transverse direction.According to a further improved configuration, the first element stop has a first element radius and the second element stop has a second element radius, wherein the first element radius and the second element radius preferably have an identical component center point. Optionally, the component radii and the element radii corresponding therewith all have the same component center point. In particular, the presence, arrangement and / or configuration of the contacting stop / stops with a corresponding element or component radius surface / s, or additional element or component radius surface / s, is to be implemented for the purpose of forming the statically at least determined body contact. For example, the first element stop and the second element stop can be formed jointly and / or integrally by means of a single element radius surface comprising the first element radius surface and the second element radius surface. In this case, a first region of the common radius surface forms the first element stop with a corresponding first element radius surface, and a second region of the common radius surface forms the second element stop with a corresponding second element radius surface. In particular, this means that the conceptual differentiation as a "first stop", initial sign on second stop", "first surface" and "second surface" is not necessarily to be understood as physical differentiation; rather, the first and second of the corresponding regions / components / elements can be formed integrally on one piece.According to a further embodiment, the first component radius surface and the second component radius surface are integrally provided on a same region of the component connecting portion in such a way that they merge into one another and together represent a continuous, uninterrupted component radius surface. This measure increases the stability of the connecting section.In the course of an additional embodiment, it is disclosed that the third component radius surface and the fourth component radius surface are also provided integrally on a same region of the further component connecting portion in such a way that they merge into one another and together represent a continuous, uninterrupted component radius surface. In this way, all component radius surfaces lie on a continuous surface of the profile component connecting the profile element and the additional profile element, wherein the overall stability of the support structure formed thereby is increased.In parts in addition and / or entirely alternatively to the above embodiments, the component radius surfaces are provided on different regions of the component connecting portion and / or of the further component connecting portion which are separated from one another, such that the radius surfaces do not merge into one another and represent an entire component radius surface provided with an interruption. In this way, for example, a total weight of the supporting structure can be reduced and / or accessibility into an interior space of the profile element and / or of the profile component can be made possible.In addition, it is described that the first component radius and the second component radius are both formed convexly with respect to a component body of the profile component, and in particular wherein the first element radius and the second element radius are both formed concavely. In this way, a range for setting a relative position is easily widened.According to one embodiment, the first component radius, the second component radius, the first element radius, the second element radius, the third component radius, the fourth component radius, the first additional element radius, the second additional element radius, the first additional component radius, and / or the second additional component radius is or amount to at least 40%, in particular at least 100%, preferably at least 300% and / or at most 10000%, in particular at most 2000%, preferably at most 1000%, of an element width of the profile element, a component width of the profile component, an additional element width of the additional profile element, and / or a component width of the additional profile component. In particular, by a radius being substantially greater than a component width, it can be achieved in this way that a respective weld seam is particularly well defined and / or a grinding of the respective weld seam results in a particularly clear contour.According to a preferred embodiment, the further component connecting section of the profile component lies opposite the (first) component connecting section-in relation to the component profile plane-in the direction of the component vertical axis. The profile component is thus designed in such a way that, with respect to the component vertical axis, a welded connection to the profile element can be produced on one side of the profile component, and a connection to the additional profile element can be provided on the opposite side of the profile component. In this way, the profile component functions as a position-variable connecting component between the profile elements. In this case, the component radius surfaces can all be provided jointly on a continuous, uninterrupted surface of the profile component, with the result that these form a mutually merging, common, continuous and uninterrupted component radius surface.According to a further embodiment, it is even conceivable for the profile component to have a closed oval, annular or circular outer contour. In the case of a circular outer contour, the profile component appears as a tube with respect to its outer shape.Regardless of whether the profile component is oval, ring-shaped or circular in shape, an internal structure can advantageously be provided for strengthening and / or stiffening.

For example, such a supporting structure 2 can be used for constructing the side wall 106 of the car body 102. In order not to unduly complicate readability of the figures, not all reference numerals are included in each of FIGS. 3 to 6.The support structure 2 according to FIGS. 3 to 6 is composed of a profile element 20 and a profile component 40 welded thereto. The profile element 20 and the profile component 40 are aligned with one another with respect to their profile axes 22 and 42. A vertical axis 25 of the profile element 20 encloses the angle 5 with a vertical axis 45 of the profile component 40.The reference sign 3 represents a first and realized relative position 3 of the profile element 20 and the profile component 40 and coincides with the vertical axis 45 in the drawing. Reference numeral 4 represents a further possible relative position 4 of profile element 20 and profile component 40.With the aid of FIGS. 5 and 6, structural details of the profile element 20 (FIG. 6 ) and of the profile component 40 (FIG. 5 ) are presented. The profiled component 40 has a component profiled axis 43 oriented in the component profiled direction 42. Perpendicular to the profile axis 32, a component profile plane 44 can be defined, in which the cross-sectional representations of the profile component 40 according to FIGS. 4-6 lie. In the component profile plane 44, the component vertical axis 45 extends, forming a corresponding component vertical direction, and a component transverse axis forms a component transverse direction 46.The profile component 40 is a semi-finished product extending in the profile direction 42 with a component body 58 and a component connecting section 41 adjoining the latter. The component connecting portion 41 has a rounded outer contour for forming a first component radius surface 47 and a second component radius surface 49, which serve for contacting element stops 32 and 33 of the profile element 20. The first component radius surface 47 is convexly curved around the component center point 51 with a first component radius 48 with respect to the component body 58, and the second component radius surface 49 is convexly curved around the component center point 51 with a second component radius 50 with respect to the component body 58.The profile element 20 shown in FIG. 6 also has an element profile direction 22 and an element profile axis 23 lying therein, wherein an element profile plane 24 can be defined perpendicular thereto. Therein, the element vertical axis 25 defining an element vertical direction and an element transverse direction 26 defining an element transverse axis.The profile element 20 comprises an element body 38 with an inner ribbing 82 and corresponding webs and an element connecting section 21 for establishing a statically at least determined body contact with the profile component 40. Furthermore, a second element stop 29, a second welding chamfer 35 and, in particular, a second gas pocket 37 lying therebetween are provided.The contour of the profile element 20 in the element profile plane 24 can be described as follows: the first element stop 32 lies adjacent to the first element gas pocket 36 and this in turn lies adjacent to the first welding chamfer 34. in particular, an element surface of the profile element 20 is designed such that a surface section of the first element stop 32 merges into a surface section of the first element gas pocket 36 while making an angle or bending, wherein this in turn merges further into a surface section of the first welding chamfer 34 while making an angle or bending. In particular, the first welding chamfer 34 is arranged further outwards than the first element stop 32 with respect to a vicinity of the profile component 20 and thus also a support structure vicinity 14. The first element stop 32 is thus closer to the vertical axis 25 than the first welding chamfer 34.The arrangement of the first element stop 32, the first gas pocket 36 and the first welding chamfer 34 corresponds analogously to the arrangement of the second element stop 33, the second gas pocket 37 and the second welding chamfer 35.The first element stop 32 has a first element radius surface 27 which is curved with a first element radius 28 about an element center point 31 for contacting the first component radius surface 47 of the profile component 40.

In addition to the common alignment in profile directions 22 and 42, for this purpose the element connecting section 21 and the component connecting section 41 are pressed against one another. As a result, the first element stop 32 bears against the first component radius surface 47 and the second element stop 33 bears against the second component radius surface 49.
