Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Längsschlitze, eine Bohrung und eine zylinderförmige Aussenkontur aufweisenden, Spreizhülse.The invention relates to a method for producing a longitudinal slots, a bore and a cylindrical outer contour having, expansion sleeve.

Spreizdübel mit Spreizhülsen der oben genannten Art werden in Untergründen wie Beton, Gestein, Mauerwerk und dergleichen verankert, indem die Spreizhülse durch einen Spreizkörper radial aufgeweitet wird. Diese radiale Aufweitung ist massgebend für die erzielbaren Verankerungswerte, da dadurch zwischen Spreizhülse und Untergrund eine Verbindung geschaffen wird, die zum einen reibschlüssigen und in gewissen Fällen auch formschlüssigen Charakter haben kann. Beeinflusst wird beispielsweise insbesondere der Anteil an reibschlüssiger Verbindung von der Grösse der dafür von der Spreizhülse zur Verfügung stehenden Aussenkontur, d. h. eine geringe zur Verfügung stehende Aussenkontur der Spreizhülse hat auch geringere Verankerungswerte zur Folge.Expansion dowels with expansion sleeves of the above type are used in substrates such as concrete, Rock, masonry and the like anchored by the expansion sleeve by a spreader is radially expanded. This radial expansion is decisive for the achievable Anchoring values, as it creates a connection between the expansion sleeve and the substrate is, on the one hand frictionally and in some cases also positive Character can have. For example, the proportion of frictionally engaged is particularly influenced Connection of the size of the available from the expansion sleeve Outer contour, d. H. a small available outer contour of the Expansion sleeve also results in lower anchoring values.

Aus der DE4344382 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Spreizhülse bekannt, die radial aufweitbar ist. Zum Zwecke der radialen Aufweitung ist der Spreizbereich der Spreizhülse mit Längsschlitzen versehen, so dass sich zwischen den Längsschlitzen Lappen bilden. Radial aufgeweitet wird die Spreizhülse, indem ein Spreizkörper in die sich zum vorderen Ende hin verjüngende Bohrung der Spreizhülse eingetrieben wird, so dass sich die Lappen radial nach aussen bewegen. Nach erfolgter radialer Aufweitung, d. h. wenn der Spreizdübel vollständig gesetzt ist, kann an der Spreizhülse über ein Lastangriffsmittel in Form eines Gewindes, das sich an dem dem Spreizbereich abgewandten Ende befindet, ein Teil, beispielsweise in Form einer Schraube, einer Gewindestange oder dergleichen, befestigt werden. Zur Herstellung der Spreizhülse werden die Längsschlitze erzeugt und dann zur Sicherstellung einer grossen für die Verankerung zur Verfügung stehenden Aussenkontur durch im wesentlichen radiales Zusammenpressen, der zwischen den Längsschlitzen verbliebenen Lappen der Spreizhülse, die Längsschlitze weitgehend geschlossen. From DE4344382 a method for producing an expansion sleeve is known which radially is expandable. For the purpose of radial expansion of the expansion of the expansion sleeve is Provide longitudinal slots so that form lobes between the longitudinal slots. Radial The expansion sleeve is widened by an expansion body in the towards the front end tapered bore of the expansion sleeve is driven, so that the lobes radially to move outside. After radial expansion, d. H. when the expansion plug completely is set, can at the expansion sleeve via a load application means in the form of a thread, the is located at the end facing away from the expansion, a part, for example in shape a screw, a threaded rod or the like, are attached. For the production the expansion sleeve, the longitudinal slots are generated and then to ensure a large for anchoring available outer contour by essentially radial Pressing together, the lobes of the expansion sleeve remaining between the longitudinal slots, the longitudinal slots largely closed.

Das bekannte Verfahren führt wohl zu einem anwendungstechnisch vorteilhaften Spreizdübel, hat aber den Nachteil, dass es aus der Sicht der Herstellung äusserst aufwändig ist und dadurch nicht wirtschaftlich.The known method probably leads to an advantageous application technology expansion dowel, But has the disadvantage that it is extremely expensive from the point of view of production and not economically.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von einer Spreizhülse anzugeben, das die wirtschaftliche Herstellung von, zu hohen Verankerungswerten führenden, Spreizhülsen ermöglicht.The present invention has for its object to provide a process for the preparation of specify an expansion sleeve, the economic production of too high anchoring values leading, expanding sleeves allows.

Erfindungsgemäss wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Spreizhülse zunächst mit axial verlaufenden Materialschwächungen versehen wird und durch anschliessendes, im wesentlichen radiales Aufweiten, zur Bildung der Längsschlitze, aufgerissen wird.According to the invention the object is achieved in that the expansion sleeve initially with axial extending material weakenings is provided and by subsequent, essentially radial expansion, to form the longitudinal slots, is torn open.

Dadurch, dass die zur Bildung der Längsschlitze dienenden Materialschwächungen aufgerissen werden, entstehen Längsschlitze mit einer vernachlässigbaren Breite und damit eine Aussenkontur mit einer maximalen zur Verankerung zur Verfügung stehenden Oberfläche. In einer bevorzugten Ausführung sind die Materialschwächungen an der Wandung der Bohrung der Spreizhülse angeordnet und beispielweise als scharfe, V-förmige Nuten ausgebildet. Durch den einfachen Herstellvorgang ist das Verfahren äusserst wirtschaftlich. Ferner ergeben sich durch den Aufreissvorgang Längsschlitze, deren korrespondierende, einander gegenüberliegende Risswandungen der Bruchstellen komplementär ausgebildet sind.Because the material weakenings serving to form the longitudinal slots are torn open be formed, longitudinal slots with a negligible width and thus create a Outer contour with a maximum surface available for anchoring. In In a preferred embodiment, the material weakenings are on the wall of the bore arranged the expansion sleeve and formed, for example, as a sharp, V-shaped grooves. Due to the simple manufacturing process, the process is extremely economical. Further revealed through the tearing process longitudinal slots, their corresponding, opposite each other Crack walls of the fractures are formed complementary.

Das Aufreissen im Bereich der Materialschwächungen wird vorzugsweise durch eine Wärmebehandlung oder geeignete Temperatur unterstützt, um den Aufreissvorgang zu begünstigen. Die Wahl der Wärmebehandlung beziehungsweise Temperatur ist vorteilhafterweise an den Werkstoff der Spreizhülse angepasst. Bei Thermoplastwerkstoffen sind beispielsweise Temperaturen unterhalb der Glasübergangstemperatur vorteilhaft, so können die beispielsweise die Polypropylene Aufreiss-Temperaturen von unterhalb -15° Celsisus gewählt werden.The tearing in the area of weakening of the material is preferably carried out by a heat treatment or suitable temperature to promote the tearing process. The choice of the heat treatment or temperature is advantageous adapted to the material of the expansion sleeve. For thermoplastic materials, for example Temperatures below the glass transition temperature advantageous, so the example the Polypropylene tearing temperatures of below -15 ° Celsisus chosen become.

Vorzugsweise erfolgt das Aufweiten durch Einführen eines Reissdorns in die Bohrung, wobei der Aussendurchmesser des Reissdorns grösser als der Innendurchmesser, zumindest in dem mit der Materialschwächung versehenen Bereich, der Bohrung ist.Preferably, the expansion takes place by introducing a rice mandrel into the bore, wherein the outer diameter of the rice mandrel is greater than the inner diameter, at least in the material weakened area which is bore.

Die Aussenkontur der Spreizhülse wird vorteilhafterweise durch Aufbringen einer, auf die Aussenkontur radial nach innen wirkenden, Kraft in eine im wesentlichen zylindrische Form geformt, um eine maximale Aussenkontur für die Verankerung zu erhalten und damit ein optimales Tragverhalten der Spreizhülse in einem Bohrloch sicherzustellen. The outer contour of the expansion sleeve is advantageously by applying a, on the External contour acting radially inward, force in a substantially cylindrical shape shaped to obtain a maximum outer contour for anchoring and thus a to ensure optimal carrying behavior of the expansion sleeve in a borehole.

Vorzugsweise wird die Spreizhülse aus Kunststoff gefertigt, um eine wirtschaftliche Herstellung zu gewährleisten. Für den Einsatz unter speziellen Rahmenbedingungen, wie beispielsweise im Brandschutz, wird die Spreizhülse vorteilhafterweise aus Metall gefertigt.Preferably, the expansion sleeve is made of plastic in order to produce economically to ensure. For use under special conditions, such as in fire protection, the expansion sleeve is advantageously made of metal.
