Description

[0001] The invention relates to a shaft arrangement for an old shaft system of a system for receiving, conveying and storing a fluid with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] Such shaft arrangements for old shaft systems are known from the state of the art.

[0003] In many cities and municipalities, the existing, sometimes very old sewer systems have to be renewed or renovated over time.

[0004] In particular, the shafts, which are generally made of mineral materials such as concrete and which provide the necessary access to the sewer system, require regular renewal or renovation.

[0005] Due to the very long use of the sometimes very old materials, significant corrosion occurs, particularly inside the shafts, which no longer ensures the continued safe operation of these shafts.

[0006] Over time, various technical procedures for the renewal or renovation of such shafts have been established.

[0007] For example, DE19643175 A1 describes a process for rehabilitating shafts in water supply and disposal pipelines, as well as in transport lines for chemicals, fuels, heat, or cooling. The plan is to remove the shaft to be rehabilitated to the height at which a constant cross-section begins. This shaft and the shaft floor are then lined with a new shaft insert. For this purpose, any existing surface reinforcement, such as the road surface, including the shaft cover, is removed.

[0008] Any compensation rings are also removed, as is the shaft neck, also known as the cone. A thin-walled shaft liner with an attached channel profile is lowered into the now cleaned old shaft and secured at the correct height.

[0009] Before the cavity or annular gap can be filled, the pipe connections of the inlet and outlet lines must be made and sealed.

[0010] The manhole liner is preferably made of glass-fiber-reinforced plastic. Cement mortar is generally filled into the annular gap between the new manhole liner and the old manhole to ensure the stability and strength of this new manhole arrangement.

[0011] The disadvantage of these processes is that the time, assembly and material costs are very high.

[0012] Another disadvantage is that removing the old shaft down to the shaft ring with a constant cross-section is very time-consuming and requires a lot of material.

[0013] Another disadvantage is that the new shaft liner with the attached channel profile has to be designed, manufactured and installed with great effort, since each old shaft has different geometries and, in particular, different channel profiles.

[0014] Another method for rehabilitating old shaft systems is the so-called shaft-in-shaft rehabilitation (SIS).

[0015] In this case, a corroded old shaft system, for example made of concrete or plastic, is renovated by inserting a new shaft system, particularly made of plastic, into the old shaft system and sealing it with it.

[0016] A disadvantage of such shaft-in-shaft renovations is that in addition to the individual shaft rings, the shaft floor is also renovated, even if it is still intact.

[0017] This is where the invention comes in, which has set itself the task of providing a shaft arrangement for an old shaft system of a system for receiving, conducting and storing a fluid, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art, which can be manufactured economically and cost-effectively, which avoids the complex removal of existing old shaft components and which can be used optimally for currently existing old shaft systems to be renovated, made of all materials, geometries and dimensions, and in particular also for old shaft systems with relatively high ovality or deformation, without having to renovate the existing shaft floor.

[0018] Surprisingly, it has been found that a shaft arrangement for an old shaft system of a system for receiving, conducting and storing a fluid, wherein the old shaft system has at least one old shaft lower part with at least one old shaft floor, as well as at least one old shaft wall enclosing the old shaft floor, wherein the old shaft lower part has at least one channel which is connected to at least one old shaft wall, is characterized in that the

[0019] The old shaft base of the old shaft system is spaced apart by at least one adapter assembly of a new shaft system, such that the at least one adapter assembly is in sealing connection with the old shaft base and / or with at least one old shaft base and / or with at least one old shaft wall of the old shaft base. This shaft assembly now makes it possible to rehabilitate old shafts without requiring additional, complex processing of the shaft base.

[0020] It is now possible to carry out so-called shaft-in-shaft renovations economically and cost-effectively by customising this shaft arrangement, which is scaled to suit each existing shaft system before assembly.

[0021] Another advantage of the new shaft arrangement is that the complex removal of existing old shaft components is no longer necessary.

[0022] Another advantage of the shaft arrangement is that the existing old shaft system does not have to be completely removed and that, in particular, the existing old shaft floor of the lower part of the old shaft is retained for renovation with a new shaft system.

[0023] The shaft arrangement is further characterized in that the old shaft base of the old shaft system is arranged at a distance via at least one adapter arrangement from at least one shaft middle section and / or at least one shaft upper section and / or at least one shaft lower section of a new shaft system, which have at least one sealing, pluggable, and / or latchable connection. This not only enables the economical and cost-effective rehabilitation of old shaft systems, but also makes it possible to create a quick and tight connection between the old shaft system and the new shaft system at any time.

[0024] Furthermore, the shaft arrangement is designed such that the at least one adapter arrangement is arranged at a distance from at least one old shaft wall of the old shaft base via at least one sealing device. The function and design of the adapter arrangement of the new shaft arrangement are advantageously always designed such that the existing, refurbished old shaft base can be integrated into the new shaft system.

[0025] A further advantage of the shaft arrangement is that the at least one adapter arrangement is sealingly connected to at least one old shaft wall of the old shaft system via at least one sealing device.

[0026] Another advantage of the shaft arrangement is that the at least one adapter assembly of the shaft arrangement is operatively connected to at least one old shaft floor and / or to at least one old shaft wall of the old shaft lower section, forming a seal. Based on the universal, individual geometry and design of the adapter assembly of the shaft arrangement, it is thus possible to rehabilitate the existing old shaft system anywhere, at any time, cost-effectively and economically, while ensuring sealing in all areas.

[0027] The shaft assembly is further configured such that the at least one adapter assembly is arranged at a distance from at least one old shaft floor and / or at least one old shaft wall of the old shaft lower section via at least one sealing device. Advantageously, the adapter assembly of the shaft assembly can thus be adapted to the geometric requirements and conditions of virtually any old shaft system without affecting its installation in the old shaft system, and in particular, the required tightness of the old shaft system rehabilitated by a new shaft system can be ensured.

[0028] Furthermore, the shaft assembly is designed such that the at least one adapter assembly has at least one receiving element and / or one receptacle. This ensures that the shaft assembly can always be brought to an old shaft system to be rehabilitated in a prefabricated and configured manner.

[0029] The shaft assembly is also designed such that the at least one adapter assembly has at least one sealing device. This advantageously provides a shaft assembly that can be individually adapted to the specific geometry of existing shaft systems, both in height and diameter.

[0030] The shaft assembly is further configured such that the at least one adapter assembly has at least one receptacle for at least one first sealing device on its outer side and / or inner side. This advantageously provides a shaft assembly that can be individually adapted to the specific geometry of existing shaft systems, both in height and diameter.

[0031] The shaft arrangement is advantageously designed such that the at least one adapter arrangement is sealingly connected to at least one old shaft wall of the old shaft system via at least one third sealing device.

[0032] Furthermore, this shaft assembly is designed so that the shaft base of the new shaft system is operatively connected to the receiving element of the adapter assembly. The advantage here is that a shaft assembly is available that can be individually adapted to the specific geometry of existing shaft systems, both in height and diameter.

[0033] Another advantage of this shaft arrangement is that the shaft base of the new shaft system is operatively connected to the adapter assembly via at least one first sealing device. This surprisingly makes it possible to create a sealed connection between the old shaft system to be renovated and the new shaft system.

[0034] It has been found to be advantageous in the shaft arrangement that the at least one sealing device is designed as a sealing strip, as a wedge seal, as a round seal, as an activatable seal such as a swelling seal, a swellable seal, an inflatable seal and the like.

[0035] Advantageously, the at least one sealing device of the shaft arrangement consists of or contains an elastomeric polymer material. For this purpose, a selection can be made from rubber, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM), nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) for the production of the sealing device.

[0036] Another advantage of the shaft arrangement is that the old shaft system is spaced from the new shaft system by at least an annular gap. This allows the shaft arrangement to be quickly and easily installed and installed into an existing old shaft system.

[0037] It has proven advantageous for the shaft arrangement that the annular gap between the old shaft system and the new shaft system is at least partially filled with backfill material. This advantageously creates and improves the stability of the new shaft system, which is connected to the old shaft system. Furthermore, the sealing of the connection points between the old shaft system and the new shaft system can be implemented economically and cost-effectively.

[0038] A further advantage of the shaft arrangement is that the adapter arrangement and / or the shaft middle part and / or the shaft upper part and / or the shaft lower part contains a polymer material or consists of a polymer material, wherein the polymer material is preferably a thermoplastic, particularly preferably a polyolefin, such as a polypropylene or a polyethylene or a polybutylene or a copolymer of the aforementioned, or a polyvinyl chloride, or consists of such.

[0039] The shaft arrangement can therefore be manufactured economically and cost-effectively, is easy to install, lightweight and corrosion-resistant.

[0040] It is also advantageous that the polymer material, preferably a thermoplastic, contains fillers and / or reinforcing materials in a proportion of 1 to 45% by weight, preferably 1 to 30% by weight, particularly preferably 5 to 25% by weight, based on the total weight.

[0041] The fillers and / or reinforcing materials are particulate and / or spherulitic and / or fibrous and / or platelet-shaped and / or spherical and / or rod-shaped.

[0042] The filler and / or reinforcing material is preferably selected from talc, chalk, kaolin, wollastonite, mica, glass fibers, glass spheres, hollow glass spheres, metal particles, metal powder, metal fibers, graphite, conductive carbon black, wood flour, wood fibers, bamboo flour, bamboo fibers, aluminum oxide, aluminum silicate, or a mixture of the aforementioned.

[0043] Fibrous fillers and / or reinforcing materials are also preferred, particularly glass and / or carbon fibers. This advantageously results in high strength and rigidity of the shaft arrangement as well as more economical and cost-effective production.

[0044] The adapter assembly and / or the shaft middle part and / or the shaft upper part and / or the shaft lower part of the shaft assembly of the present invention can be manufactured in a polymer molding process, such as an injection molding process or a rotational molding process or a rotational sintering process or a pressing process or a deep drawing process or an extrusion blow molding process or an additive manufacturing process, such as a 3D printing process, or a combination of the processes listed above.

[0045] The above-mentioned processes are suitable for producing the above-mentioned components according to the present invention in large quantities in a reproducible, dimensionally accurate and cost-effective manner.

[0046] This provides adapter assemblies and / or manhole middle sections and / or manhole tops and / or manhole bottoms that are extremely durable and strong and meet the requirements of the customers or the requirements of the relevant specifications for their application.

[0047] Furthermore, it has proven extremely advantageous if adapter assemblies and / or shaft middle sections and / or shaft upper sections and / or shaft lower sections are manufactured using machining processes such as milling or turning. This allows for the realization of customized geometries such as diameters, heights, and the like, so that a geometrically precise new shaft system can be provided cost-effectively and economically for each existing shaft system requiring rehabilitation.

[0048] Within the scope of the present invention, it may further prove very practical if it is provided that the adapter arrangement and / or the shaft middle section and / or the shaft upper section and / or the shaft lower section are manufactured using an additive manufacturing process, such as a 3D printing process. Such a process is suitable for producing an installation insert and / or a connecting piece and / or a fixing means according to the present invention in large quantities in a reproducible, dimensionally accurate and cost-effective manner. In particular, it can be provided that the installation insert and / or the connecting piece and / or the fixing means are manufactured entirely or partially using a generative manufacturing process, for example by a 3D printing process. For this purpose, a three-dimensional model readable by a data processing machine can advantageously be used for production.The invention also encompasses a method for generating a three-dimensional model readable by a data processing machine for use in a manufacturing method for an installation insert and / or a connecting piece and / or a fastening means. In particular, the method also encompasses the input of data representing an installation insert and / or a connecting piece and / or a fastening means into a data processing machine and the use of the data to represent an installation insert and / or a connecting piece and / or a fastening means as a three-dimensional model, wherein the three-dimensional model is suitable for use in the manufacture of an installation insert and / or a connecting piece and / or a fastening means.The method also includes a technique in which the input data of one or more 3D scanners, which operate either contact-based or contactless, with the latter delivering energy to an installation insert and / or a connecting piece and / or a securing means and receiving the reflected energy, is used to generate a virtual three-dimensional model of an installation insert and / or a connecting piece and / or a securing means using computer-aided design software. The manufacturing method can comprise a generative powder bed process, in particular selective laser melting (SLM), selective laser sintering (SLS), selective heat sintering (SHS), selective electron beam melting (EBM / Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing - EBAM) or solidification of powder material using a binder (binder jetting).The manufacturing process may comprise a generative free-space process, in particular deposition welding, wax deposition modeling (WDM), contour crafting, metal powder deposition (MPA), plastic powder deposition, cold gas spraying, electron beam welding (EBW), or melt layering processes such as fused deposition modeling (FDM) or fused filament fabrication (FFF). The manufacturing process may comprise a generative liquid material process, in particular stereolithography (SLA), digital light processing (DLP), multi-jet modeling (MJM), polyjet modeling, or liquid composite molding (LCM). Furthermore, the manufacturing process may comprise other generative layering processes, in particular laminated object modeling (LOM), 3D screen printing, or light-controlled electrophoretic deposition.

[0049] The invention further relates to a system for receiving, conducting and storing a fluid with at least one shaft arrangement according to the previous embodiments.
