In order to create advantageous adaptation conditions, the invention proposes that the supports (3) have a sliding surface (12) which extends in the longitudinal direction of the girder profile (4) and receives the girder profile (4) in a load-bearing manner and to which the girder profile (4) is able to be firmly clamped.

Description

[0001] Vehicle shelter

[0002] Technical area

[0003] The invention relates to a vehicle shelter with parking spaces arranged next to one another in at least one row, with a support profile for roof elements that runs in the longitudinal direction of the row of parking spaces and is flanged together lengthwise from individual profile sections, and with uprights that are distributed over the length of the support profile and form supports for the support profile.

[0004] State of the art

[0005] In order to provide a vehicle shelter that can be equipped with solar panels for several vehicles lined up next to each other in at least one row, it is known (DE 20 2013 101 890 U 1 ) to mount a support profile, which can optionally be pivoted about its axis, on two end posts and to fasten cross members to this support profile for receiving roof elements equipped with corresponding solar panels. If the need for parking spaces exceeds the number of parking spaces provided between the two posts, the vehicle shelter can be expanded in a modular manner according to the respective requirements by extending the support profile in sections at least beyond one of the two posts and by supporting the respective extension in sections on another end post.The modular design of the vehicle shelter results in comparatively simple construction requirements for erecting vehicle shelters for a varying number of parking spaces. The modular construction predetermines the spacing between the posts, which is not important when roofing newly created parking spaces, for example, on a base plate that supports the posts laterally. However, when roofing existing parking spaces, this can lead to the loss of parking spaces or to only partial use of the available parking space, because the arrangement of the posts is predetermined in terms of their relative position and cannot be arbitrarily adapted to local conditions.

[0006] Description of the invention

[0007] The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a vehicle shelter which, despite a modular structure, allows a largely free distribution of the uprights required for load transfer over the length of the support profile.

[0008] Starting from a vehicle shelter of the type described at the outset, the invention solves the stated problem in that the supports have a sliding surface running in the longitudinal direction of the support profile, which supports the support profile in a load-bearing manner and to which the support profile can be clamped.

[0009] The proposed measures neither require a uniform mutual spacing of the uprights nor do they make the length of the individual profile sections that can be flanged together to form a support profile dependent on the mutual spacing of the uprights. This means that a vehicle shelter can be constructed using matching profile sections and matching uprights that can be easily adapted not only to different requirements with regard to the number of parking spaces, but can also be easily adapted to local conditions determined by the parking area. This is achieved by the supports for the support profile forming sliding surfaces for the support profile, which is clamped to the sliding surfaces in the respective sliding position. Particularly advantageous design conditions arise in this context if the supports have a rocker forming the sliding surface with a horizontal pivot axis perpendicular to the support profile.Since the supports are designed as rockers with a horizontal pivot axis perpendicular to the support profile, the loads occurring in relation to the pivot axes of the rockers are advantageously transferred to the uprights without any moment.

[0010] To clamp the beam profile to the sliding surfaces of the supports, clamping brackets can be provided that encompass the beam profile and clamp the beam profile against the sliding surfaces of the supports. To ensure that a flange connection between two profile sections or a cross member located in the area of ​​the sliding surface of a support does not compromise the position of the upright or the clamping of the beam profile by the clamping brackets, the supports can each have at least two clamping bracket receptacles spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the profile.By providing an additional clamping bracket receptacle in relation to the required number of clamping brackets, if the connecting flanges of two profile sections or a cross member are positioned in the area of ​​one of the provided clamping brackets, the clamping brackets can be inserted into the other clamping brackets while leaving this clamping bracket free, so that the beam profile can always be clamped down against the sliding surface of a support with the required number of clamping brackets without having to correct the displacement position of the beam profile relative to the uprights.

[0011] If the supports are provided with rockers, the sliding surface extends over two rocker sections on either side of the pivot axis. To ensure that the support profile can move continuously in one area of ​​the connecting flanges without having to forego the required number of clamping brackets in the area of ​​the two rocker sections, the rockers of the supports on both rocker sections on either side of the pivot axis can have at least two clamping bracket receptacles each, spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the profile. By providing an additional clamping bracket receptacle on each rocker section compared to the required number of clamping brackets, the clamping brackets can be inserted into the other clamping brackets while leaving this clamping bracket free when the connecting flanges of two profile sections or a cross member are located in the area of ​​one of the provided clamping brackets.

[0015] Fig. 2 shows a section of the vehicle shelter in the area of ​​a support of a post that supports the load-bearing profile in a side view on a larger scale,

[0016] Fig. 3 is a section along the line III-III of Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the support according to Fig. 2.

[0017] Ways to implement the invention

[0018] A vehicle shelter according to the invention with parking spaces 1 arranged next to one another in at least one row comprises a row of uprights 2 distributed over the length of the row of parking spaces, a support profile 4 supported on the uprights 2 via supports 3 in a load-bearing manner, and crossbeams 6 fastened to the support profile 4 and connected to one another in a frame-like manner by connecting struts 5 for receiving roof elements 7, preferably made of solar panels, indicated by dash-dotted lines in Figs. 2 and 3. According to the illustrated embodiment, only one row of parking spaces 1 is provided. Accordingly, the crossbeams 6 protrude essentially on one side from the support profile 4. In vehicle shelters with two rows of parking spaces 1 arranged next to one another, the uprights 2 are preferably arranged between the two rows of parking spaces, which requires crossbeams 6 that protrude from the support profile 4 on both sides. The vehicle shelter according to the invention has a modular design.For this purpose, the support profile 4 is flanged together lengthwise from individual profile sections 8. The connecting flanges 9 on the end faces of the profile sections 8 serve not only to connect the individual profile sections 8, but preferably also to fasten the cross members 6, which are arranged between the connecting flanges 9 of two abutting profile sections 8 and are screwed to them when the connecting flanges 9 are screwed together.

[0019] The supports 3 for the support profile 4 are preferably formed by rockers 10, whose pivot axes 11, mounted on the head of the uprights 2, run perpendicular to the uprights 2 and perpendicular to the support profile 4. To accommodate the support profile 4, the rockers 10 have sliding surfaces 12 that can be moved along the support profile 4 in its longitudinal direction. However, given appropriate static conditions, the supports 3 can also be designed without rockers 10 and have a fixed sliding surface 12.

[0020] Regardless of whether the sliding surface 12 is provided on a rocker 10 or not, the support profile 4 is clamped relative to the sliding surface 12 to establish a selected displacement position. For this purpose, according to the exemplary embodiment, clamping brackets 13 are provided on both sides of the pivot axis 11 on the two rocker sections. These clamping brackets are inserted into prepared clamping bracket receptacles 14 and clamped down against the sliding surface 12 using a clamping screw connection 15.

[0021] As can be seen in particular from Fig. 4, an additional clamping bracket receptacle 14 is provided in the sliding surface 12 on each of the two rocker sections on both sides of the pivot axis 11. An additional clamping bracket receptacle 14, which is not required per se for the load-bearing clamping down of the support profile 4, has the advantage that, in the case illustrated in Fig. 4, in which a cross member 6 comes to lie in the area of ​​a clamping bracket receptacle 14 in the selected displacement position between the upright 2 and the support profile 4, the clamping bracket 13, which otherwise interacts with this clamping bracket receptacle 14, can be inserted into an adjacent, free clamping bracket receptacle 14. According to the exemplary embodiment, the clamping bracket receptacles 14 are predetermined by bores in the sliding surface 12 at an appropriate mutual distance.If two clamping brackets 13 are required per rocker section, three pairs of holes must be provided in order to always be able to clamp the support profile 4 against the sliding surface 12 by means of two clamping brackets 13 on each of the two rocker sections, regardless of the respective position of the connecting flanges 9 between two profile sections 8.
