Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention is used for covering machines,
A shed-like cover having a free-standing panel forming a top frame and side walls, the upper end of the panel engaging the top frame, the lower end engaging the base frame, and the side edges abutting each other. Relating to a shed-like cover that engages the side edges of the panel. It is particularly suitable for coating machine tools, but also for many other industrial applications.

[Conventional technology]

In known shed-like covers, the support framework is formed by a plurality of horizontal and vertical beams, which are screwed or welded together and on which the cover plate is applied. An essential disadvantage of these structures is the relatively high cost of assembly. Furthermore, maintenance and repair operations on this shed-like cover (eg, replacement of large assemblies) generally have the disadvantage of requiring substantial removal of the cover.

Furthermore, in the known shed-like cover of the type described at the outset of the invention, the panels forming the side walls of the cover are constructed to be self-supporting, a significant improvement over the prior art. ing. In such a construction, the arrangement of the base frame and top frame is sufficient to free the side walls of the cover from cumbersome intermediate members. The assembly of this shed-like cover is thus not only considerably simplified, but also free openings extending the entire height of the cover can be created by removing individual panels if necessary (particularly for maintenance and modification purposes). Can be done.

In this known construction, the base frame has a U-shaped cross section, which opens towards the top and into which the panel is inserted from above. The gap between the panel and the base frame must be sealed internally and externally to prevent the ingress of fluids and/or foreign objects. Furthermore, in this known construction, the deflector plate must be mounted on the panel, which in many cases must be provided on the inside of the cover to provide a sufficient slope to deflect the coolant or swarf. The panels do not have thick enough walls for such installation.
At the same time, attaching a deflector plate to the panel in this way creates a sealing problem.

A further disadvantage of shed-like covers of the type mentioned at the outset is that removal of individual panels requires more or less complete removal of the entire cover. With this known structure, it is therefore not possible to carry out subsequent modifications in the side walls in a simple manner.
For example, changing the position of windows or doors or creating large openings in side walls cannot be done in a short time due to their assembly.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a shed-like cover of the form mentioned at the outset in such a way that the connection between the panel and the foundation frame is protected against the ingress of fluids and foreign objects in a structurally simple manner, and in which the baffle plate is connected to the shed. The object of the present invention is to provide a mechanically stable and satisfactory seal on the inside of the shaped cover at the attachment point.

In another embodiment of the invention, the shed-like cover mentioned at the outset is provided in such a way that subsequent changes in the structure of the side walls can be carried out in a particularly simple manner, in particular without removing the entire cover. The purpose is to configure.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject matter of claims 3 to 9.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples.

The shed-shaped cover shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2 is for example for covering a machine tool (and also for sound insulation) and includes a base frame 1, a top frame 2, a corner part 3 and a panel 4.
and a closure element 5 in each side wall region.

An example of a panel 4 forming a side wall is shown in FIG. The panel has an outer covering 6, 7, for example of a sheet of metal, on two wide sides 8 on the edges,
It has on 9. The outer covering of the panel is insulation material 1
Surround 0.

The edges of the panel 4 are configured to complement each other. As can be seen in FIG. 3, one edge of the left-hand panel 4 has a U-shaped cross-section, while the other (the edge of the right-hand panel) has a plug-shaped cross-section. A sealing element 11 is arranged between the two panels which are locked to each other by complementary edges.

The foundation frame of the first illustrated embodiment comprises one single foundation frame beam 31 of box-shaped cross section, which is supported above the ground by a support 12 that is adjustable in height and configured as an adjustment screw. has been done. The lower end 13 of the panel 4, which is configured in a U-shaped cross-section, engages above the beam 31 of the base frame 1. The internal width B of the U-shaped cross-section at the lower end of the panel is at least equal to the external width B' of the base frame beam 31.

In the illustrated embodiment, there is a distinct distance a between the outer covering 6, 7 of the panel 4 and the beam 31 of the base frame 1.

The top frame 2 has a U-shaped cross section that opens towards the bottom and engages the top of the panel 4. Similarly, a certain gap b is provided between the outer coverings 6, 7 of the panel 4 and the side walls of the top frame 2.

The upper edge of the panel 4 has a distance c with respect to the top frame 2, which is greater than the engagement dimension d of the panel 4 above the base frame beam 31 of the base frame 1. Thus, the panel 4 can be raised relative to the top frame 2 to such an extent that the lower end of the panel 4 is released from the base frame 1. The gap b between the panel 4 and the side wall of the top frame 2 likewise facilitates the tilting of the panel 4 within the top frame 2, so that the raised and tilted panel 4 can move away from the top frame 2 and the base frame 1. It can be removed by pulling downward at an angle.

A deflector plate 21 is provided on the inner surface of the foundation frame beam 31, serving to deflect coolant and chippings;
The U-shaped section of the lower end of the panel 4 then engages above the upper part 21a of the baffle plate, while the lower part 21b
has entered the inside of the bookshelf-like cover.

An attachment 2a serving to support the top element 22 is likewise provided inside the top frame 2.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a closure element 5 which is preferably provided on each side wall of the shed-like cover. This closure element 5 has a U-shaped cross-section in both end regions and is divided by a central vertical plane 14 in the longitudinal direction. The closure element 5 thus has two parts 15 and 16.
These are interconnected elements 17, 1
8 (e.g. screws).

The two panels 4 adjacent to the closure element 5 have a plug-shaped cross-section at their lateral edges facing the closure element 5. The closing element 5 closes these two panels 4 flush with their wide sides.

In the embodiment shown in the fourth figure, two of the closing elements 5
The parts 15, 16 also have an outer covering (for example made of a metal sheet) and an insulating material is arranged between them. In the vertical section of the closure element 5,
Closing element 5 in the same manner as panel 4 (see Figure 3)
is configured. After the coupling elements 17, 18 have been released, the part 16 of the closure element 5 located outside the shed-like cover can be removed towards the outside, for this purpose being slightly raised and slightly inclined and then can be removed from the base frame 1 and top frame 2. The other part 15 of the closure element 5 can then be removed either internally or externally without any difficulty.

If the closure element 5 is removed in this way, then one of the two panels 4 adjacent to the closure element 5 is removed, as can be seen from FIG. can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the side walls of the shed-like cover to such an extent that the engagement between the lateral edges of ' is released. For this purpose, the core dimension e (FIG. 6) of the closure element 5 must be slightly larger than the dimension f at which the lateral edges of the adjacent panels 4, 4' engage with each other.

If closing element 5 is released and adjacent panel 4
After the panel 4 has been moved, the engagement between this panel 4 and the next panel 4' is thus released, and the panel 4 then moves as already explained in FIG.
It can be removed from the base frame 1 and the top frame 2 by raising and tilting. In this way, all desired panels of the side walls can be removed one after another without removing the basic structure of the shed, in particular the base frame 1, the top frame 2 and the corner pieces 3.

In this way, all subsequent changes in the side walls of the shed-like cover can be made very simply and quickly: windows and doors can be inserted in place and changed. Additionally, larger openings can be created by removing some panels for assembly purposes.

In a further embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the closure element 5 consists of two flat plates 19, 20, which are interconnected by releasable connecting elements 17, 18. In this simplified embodiment, the area of the closure element 5 is thus not provided with any insulation material. However, apart from this, the closure element has the same benefits as already explained above for the variant according to FIG.

FIG. 7 shows the basic frame 1 of the shed-like cover according to the present invention.
A second example is shown below. The base frame 1 comprises an upper beam 31' of box-shaped cross-section and another lower beam 32 parallel to and spaced from the base frame beam 31 and supported on the ground. The U-shaped section of the lower end of the panel 4 engages above the upper beam 31' in the manner already described with respect to FIG.

These beams 31' and 32 are interconnected by vertical connecting elements 33 at regular intervals. The free space between the two beams 31', 32 is covered from the outside by a removable covering element 34, which is connected to the beams 31', 32, for example by screws 35. .

A deflector plate 21 carries a chip conveyor 36 disposed inside a shed-like cover to transport the scraps piled up on it.
21a is also attached to the upper beam 31'.

Despite the lightweight construction, which saves material due to the use of two beams 31', 32, which are covered towards the outside by a covering element 34 and keep an unobstructed space between them, 3 beams for 1 base frame
The deflector plate 21 attached to 1' can have a height H (for example, 1000 mm) sufficient to provide the desired steep slope. Attaching the baffle plate 21 to the beam 31' presents no problems.
Advantageously, the outer covering 6 of the panel 4 partially engages above said upper part 21a of the baffle plate 21 which is attached to the beam 31'.

In the configuration of the base frame 1 shown in FIG. 7, it is possible to access the ground area of this shed from the outside by removing one or more covering elements 34 without specifically removing the side wall panels 4 for this purpose. Access is possible. In this way, it is particularly possible to attach and remove small components of the shed-like cover in a very simple manner.

FIG. 8 shows, as a further embodiment, a closing element 5' which, in contrast to the previously described embodiments, is of undivided construction. This closure element 5' has a step in width and has a cross-section in which the outside of the shed-like cover is wider than the inside, assuming it is at the top in FIG. The outer skin 5'a of the closure element 5' forms a fold 5'c on the outside of this shed-like cover, which overlaps the corresponding fold 4c of the two adjacent panels.
, so that the outer surface of the closing element 5' closes flush with the outer surface of the panel 4.

On the inside-facing surface of this shed-like cover, the closing element 5' is provided with a step 5'd, which rests on the fold 4d of the panel 4 via a seal 42.

The closing element 5' is connected to the pivoting connection element 4 indicated by a dashed line.
0,41, this element is accessible from the outside of the shed-like cover and allows locking of the closing element 5' to the two adjacent panels 4.

After pivoting this connecting element 40, 41 into the unlocking position, the closing element 5' is moved in the manner already described until the engagement between the closing element 5' and the base frame 1 is released and the closing element 5'' can be raised to the extent that it can be separated from the base frame 1 and top frame 2. Next, one of the two adjacent panels 4 is connected to this panel 4 and the next panel 4' (see Fig. 5).
The side walls can be moved in the longitudinal direction until the engagement between the lateral edges of the panel 4 is released, and the laterally displaced panel 4 can be raised and separated from the base frame and the top frame.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The shed-like cover according to the invention protects the joints between the panels of the side walls and the foundation frame from the ingress of fluids and foreign objects, and by removing the closing element provided on at least one side wall, the individual panel can be removed, thus having the advantage that post-assembly changes to this side wall can be made without having to completely separate the shed cover.

Within the scope of the invention, "panel" is understood to mean not only assembled wall elements of the construction described in the examples, but also simple plates, for example made of metal or plastic sheets. Should.
