Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a hall, in particular a steel hall, with a roof comprising a frame structure formed by a plurality of interconnected struts, wherein the struts are each formed by two mutually facing and nested C-profiles which are firmly connected to each other by fastening means.
[0002] From DE 10 2022 103 331 A1, a hall is known which is formed from a frame structure with a plurality of vertical and horizontal struts. The struts each consist of a pair of nested C-profiles that are bolted together. It is desirable to reduce the number of additional fasteners required to connect the struts, for example, to roof trusses or purlins.
[0003] The object of the present invention is therefore to further develop a hall consisting of a frame structure with a roof in such a way that the fastening effort is reduced.
[0004] To solve this problem, the invention is characterized by the preamble of claim 1 in that a spacer tube on the one hand and a fastening rod mounted in the same on the other hand are arranged between a base of a first C-profile and a base of a second C-profile, so that in conjunction with a further fastening means acting on the end face of the fastening rod the first C-profile and the second C-profile are firmly connected to each other to form the strut.
[0005] The particular advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the connection or fastening of struts consisting of paired C-profiles to further struts is simplified in a relatively simple manner by arranging a spacer tube between the base of a first C-profile and the base of a second C-profile. This spacer tube interacts with a fastening rod that is mounted within it. The spacer tube and the fastening rod serve to stabilize the strut thus formed when the paired C-profiles are joined. Furthermore, the fastening rod, by connecting it to another fastening element, for example, a fastening anchor or a mounting bracket, enables simultaneous fixing to the further strut on the one hand and to the strut itself formed from the first and second C-profiles.For this purpose, the first C-profile and the second C-profile have only aligned bores on their bases.
[0006] According to a further development of the invention, the fastening rod is designed as a threaded rod, which has a thread at least at its ends. In this way, connecting elements can be fixed to the pair of C-profiles, preferably shaped such that a further strut (support or coupling strut) can be attached to the connecting element. This ensures a secure and stable connection between the first and second C-profiles of the pair, and between the pair of C-profiles and a further strut. The spacer tube extends between the opposing ends of the first and second C-profiles. The threaded rod extends through aligned bores in the two ends of the pair of C-profiles, so that the ends of the threaded rod are located outside the interior of the pair of C-profiles. This allows for external fastening with a nut.Alternatively, the aligned bores in the opposite bottoms of the C-profile pair can have an internal thread, so that no further fasteners are required to fix the first C-profile and the second C-profile of the strut.
[0007] According to a further development of the invention, the threaded rods have a length such that a connecting part with a bore can be attached to the outside of the C-profile pair, the end of the threaded rod being able to be inserted through the bore of the connecting part. Since the base of the C-profiles forms a relatively large flat surface, a secure connection can be achieved by screwing them together by increasing the number of spacer tubes, threaded rods, and aligned bores in the opposing bases of the C-profile pair.
[0008] In a further development of the invention, the first and second C-profiles are identical. Each has a large base and L-shaped sections on opposite sides. Bent ends of the L-shaped sections rest against the inner surface of a base of the other C-profile. The strut thus formed from the pair of C-profiles therefore has a total of four L-shaped sections, which ensure the strut's stability. A central area of the bases of the first and second C-profiles, with its number of holes, serves to fix the two C-profiles to each other and to connect them to further struts. The L-shaped sections adjoin the bases of the C-profiles on opposite sides, providing good stiffening of the resulting pair of C-profiles.
[0009] According to a further development of the invention, the connecting part is designed as an angled piece with a first leg for attachment to the base of a roof rafter formed by the strut and with a second leg for attachment to a roof purlin, which is preferably designed as a Z-profile. This advantageously creates a simple connection.
[0010] In a further development of the invention, the connecting element is designed as a flat connecting plate, which is screwed in a first section to one end of a support strut formed by the pair of C-profiles and in a second section to one end of a roof truss formed by the pair of C-profiles. The connecting plate has a plurality of holes so that it can be fixed to a base of the first C-profile and / or the second C-profile. The screw connection can be made in a central area of the base and optionally also in an outer area of the base if increased fastening strength is desired.
[0011] According to a further development of the invention, the connecting part is designed as a fastening anchor that serves to stiffen the interconnected struts. It runs essentially at an angle of 45° to, for example, the supporting strut and the roof truss.
[0012] Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the further dependent claims.
[0013] Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0014] They show: Fig. 1. A perspective view of a hall consisting of a frame structure with a multitude of struts, Fig. 2 a cross-section through a strut consisting of two C-shaped profiles and fastening means for attachment to a roof purlin, which in detail X1 of the hall according to Fig. 1 is shown, Fig. 3 A schematic front view of a connection between a support strut and a roof beam (roof truss) in a connection area X2 of the hall according to Fig. 1, Fig. 4 a cut along the section line IV-IV in Fig. 3, Fig. 5. a cut along the cutting line V in Fig. 3 and Fig. 6 a top view of a connecting area X3 of the hall in Fig. 1 between two roof beams (roof trusses) in the ridge area of the hall.
[0015] Hall 1 according to Fig. 1 is preferably designed as a steel hall, which is composed of a frame structure made up of a plurality of struts made of a steel material. The hall 1 consists of a plurality of vertically extending load-bearing struts 2 and coupling struts 3 extending essentially in a horizontal direction.
[0016] The support struts 2 extend in a vertical direction, while the connecting struts 3 extend in a horizontal or inclined direction and preferably connect at least two support struts 2 to each other. The connecting struts 3 can, for example, be designed as wall beams 4 and / or as roof beams 5 and / or as roof purlins 6.
[0017] In the present embodiment, the support struts 2, the wall beams 4, and the roof beams 5 each consist of a pair of C-profiles, which are produced by joining a first C-profile 7 and a second C-profile 8. The roof purlin 6 preferably consists of a Z-profile.
[0018] As from Fig. As can be seen in Figure 2, both the first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8 have a base 9 and rising L-shaped sections 10 on opposite sides of the same base. The two L-shaped sections 10 project from the base 9 on the same side.
[0019] In the present embodiment, the first C-profile 7 is identical to the second C-profile 8. The first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8 have the same length to form the corresponding strut, for example, support strut 2, where the length of the first and second C-profiles corresponds to the length of, for example, support strut 2. The base 9 is flat. A width b L The L-shaped section 10 is smaller than half a width b B of the floor 9, preferably in the area between 1 / 5 and 1 / 4 of the width b B of the ground 9.
[0020] In a nested assembly position of the first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8, in which the open sides of the first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8 face each other, a width b P of the C-profile pair 2 by twice the width b L of the L-shaped section 10 larger than the width b Bof the base 9. The C-profile pair 2 thus has a total of four L-shaped sections 10, which contribute to stiffening the strut 2 thus formed. In each case, an end flap 11 of a first L-shaped section 10' of the first C-profile 7 rests on the base 9 of the second C-profile 8, and an end flap 11 of a first L-section 10' of the second C-profile 8 rests on the base 9 of the first C-profile 7. An end flap 12 of a second L-section 10" of the first C-profile 7 surrounds the first L-section 10' of the second C-profile 8 and rests with its free end on the outside of this L-section 10'. A second L-section 10" of the second C-profile 8 surrounds the first L-section 10' of the first C-profile 7 and rests with its end flap 12 of the L-section 10" against the L-section 10' of the first C-profile 7.
[0021] The end flaps 11 of the L-sections 10', 10" of the first C-profile 7 run parallel to the base 9 of the first C-profile 7. The end flaps 12 of the L-sections 10', 10" of the second C-profile 8 run parallel to the base 9 of the second C-profile 8. In the assembled position, the end flaps 11, 12 of the second L-sections 10" of the first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8 extend along the base 9 of the second C-profile 8 and the first C-profile 7, respectively. This forms a complete profile 2 consisting of several hollow chambers: a large central hollow chamber 13 and two small secondary chambers 14 arranged on either side of the central hollow chamber 13.
[0022] To fasten the first C-profile 7 to the second C-profile 8, a spacer tube 15 and a fastening rod 16 are provided as fastening means, which are arranged essentially between the opposing ends 9 of the first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8. The spacer tube 15 can have a circular or rectangular cross-section. It has a length I D a distance 'a' between the base 9 and the end flap 11 of the L-section 10. In the assembled state of the first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8, end faces 17 of the spacer tube 15 abut the inner surfaces of the bases 9 of the first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8.
[0023] The mounting rod 16, which has a length l, is mounted in the spacer tube 15. SThe length 18 of the fastening rod 16 is greater than the distance a between the two bases 9 of the first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8, such that the ends 18 of the fastening rod 16 can pass through aligned bores 19, 19' of the first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8, respectively. The bores 19, 19' are located in a central region of the base 9 of the first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8, respectively, in which the central cavity 13 is located. At least one of the ends 18 of the fastening rod 16 has a thread, so that a force-fit connection can be established by means of a nut 20 that can be engaged with the screw as an additional fastening means.
[0024] According to the preferred embodiment of the invention according to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig. 4 the fastening rod 16 has such a length l Sthat a connecting part 21 can be attached as a fastening means on the outside of the strut to the outside of the floors 9, the first C-profile 7 and / or the second C-profile 8, so that further struts, in particular beams and purlins, can be attached to the strut 2.
[0025] According to a first embodiment of the invention according Fig. In the present embodiment, the connecting part 21 is designed as an angle bracket comprising a first leg 22 and a second leg 23. The first leg 22 serves to fasten the angle bracket 21 to the base 9 of the first C-profile 7 and / or second C-profile 8 of the support strut 2, and the second leg 23 serves to fasten the connecting part 21, for example, to a roof purlin (not shown). For this purpose, the first leg 22 has bores 24 aligned with bores 19, 19', and the second leg 23 has bores 25. In the present embodiment, the angle bracket 21 is fastened to the support strut 2 by means of two fastening rods 16 (screws), preferably designed as threaded rods with heads 45, which engage with the corresponding nuts 20 attached to them.
[0026] Alternatively, the fastening rod 16 can simply be designed as a threaded rod without a head, so that it can be screwed into bores 19, 19' of the bases 9 of the support strut 2, each having an internal thread.
[0027] According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, not shown, the bores 19, 19' of the bases 9 of the support strut 2 can also have an internal thread, so that the first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8 can be fastened by means of the screw 16.
[0028] The angle part 21 is - like the C-profiles 7, 8 - made of a metal material.
[0029] According to a further embodiment of the invention according Fig. 3, Fig. 4 to Fig. 5 is a connecting element designed as a connecting plate 21', which is flat and, for example, rectangular in shape, containing a plurality of bores 26. A first section 27 of the connecting plate 21 is connected to the support strut 2 by a screw connection (screw 16', nut 20), and a second section 28 of the connecting plate 21' is connected to a roof truss (roof beam) 29 by a screw connection. Since two connecting plates 21' are provided on opposite sides of the support strut 2 to be connected to the roof truss 29, the first section 27 thus rests flat against a base 9 of the first C-profile 7 and the second C-profile 8 of the support strut 2. The second section 28 rests flat against a base 30 of the first C-profile 7 or the second C-profile 8 of the roof truss 29.
[0030] In addition, according to one embodiment of the invention, a further connecting part can be designed as a fastening anchor 21", which serves to stiffen the connection between the support strut 2 and the roof rafter 29. A first end of the fastening anchor 21" is connected via a screw connection (as shown in [reference]). Fig. 2) connected to a base 9 of the first C-profile 7 and / or second C-profile 8 of the support strut 2. For this purpose, the fastening anchor 21" has a number of bores 33 at its first end 32. A second end 34 of the fastening anchor 21" is connected to a base of the first C-profile 7 and / or second C-profile 8 of the roof truss 29 by means of a screw connection. For this purpose, the fastening anchor 21" has further bores 33 at its second end 34.
[0031] As from Fig. As can be seen in Figure 4, the fastening anchors 21" are arranged on two opposite sides of the support strut 2 or roof beam 29. As with the fastening bracket 21 and the connecting plate 21', the fastening to the support strut 2 or the roof beam 29 is effected by means of the spacer tube 15 / fastening rod 16 connection.
[0032] According to a further embodiment of the invention according to the Fig.6. The angle brackets 21 are used as connecting elements to fasten a first roof rafter 29 to a second roof rafter 29' in a ridge area 35. For this purpose, two angle brackets 21 are attached to each other and to the different struts 2, 29 on opposite sides of the ridge. A first angle bracket 21 is attached to a longitudinal side of the first roof rafter 29 by a first leg 38. A first leg 39 of the second angle bracket 21 is connected to the second roof rafter 29' by a screw connection. A second leg 40 of the first angle bracket 21 and a second leg 41 of the second angle bracket 21 are each connected to each other by a screw connection (screw 16', nut 20).
[0033] Alternatively, the angled connecting parts 21 can also be arranged on the underside instead of on the sides of the roof bars 29, 29'.
[0034] The angle enclosed by the first leg 38 of the first angled connecting part 21 and by the second leg 41 of the first angled connecting part 21 depends on the roof pitch.
[0035] The same applies to the second angled connecting part 21. Preferably, the enclosed acute angle is less than 90°.
[0036] Advantageously, the invention enables the assembly of a hall based on a frame structure, whereby the corresponding beams and / or girders and / or purlins can be easily connected to one another. After completion of the frame structure, side and longitudinal walls (not shown) as well as roof panels can then be attached.
[0037] The roof can be a flat roof or, for example, a gable or shed roof. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
