Definitions
- the invention relates to a clamp with a clamp band, which has a bottom with flanks on both sides, a flank angle is included between the flanks and a clamping head is arranged at the ends of the clamp band, the clamping heads being connected to one another via a clamping device.
- Profile clamps are often used to connect butt jointed pipe ends axially. Flanges projecting radially outwards are provided on the pipe ends, onto which the profile clamp is placed. A corresponding profile of the clamp band of the profile clamp, which is generally V-shaped to U-shaped, generates radial and axial clamping forces when the profile clamp is clamped, as a result of which the pipe ends are pressed axially towards one another. A pressure-resistant connection is thus obtained.
- a preferred area of application for profile clamps is in the area of motor vehicles, for example for securing in the area of exhaust pipes, but also in other pressure-carrying lines. connection in the area of the engine compartment.
- the profile clamp must therefore reliably generate sufficient clamping forces over a relatively high temperature range and over long periods of time. Since the engines of motor vehicles are becoming ever more compact and at the same time have to comply with ever higher emission limits, the temperature load on individual components and thus also on the profile sections used increases.
- the invention is based on the object of providing a profile clamp which enables the most homogeneous possible stress distribution. Furthermore, high clamping forces should have been generated.
- flank angle In the case of a profile clamp with a clamp band which has a base with flanks on both sides, a flank angle being enclosed between the flanks and a clamping head being arranged at the ends of the clamp band, the clamping heads being connected to one another via a clamping device It is provided that the flank angle decreases diametrically from one clamping head to an area relative to the clamping heads and increases again from the area to the other clamping head.
- This configuration results in a better, more uniform stress distribution.
- This takes advantage of the fact that when the profile clamp is tensioned, an area of the clamp band adjoining the tensioning heads moves more relative to the flanges of the pipe ends than the area which is arranged diametrically opposite the tensioning heads.
- the friction occurring in this relative movement between the clamp band and the flanges has a greater influence on the clamping forces in the areas with greater movement than in the areas with little or no movement.
- the flank angle decreases starting from the clamping head, that is to say the flanks become steeper. In the area of the steeper flanks, these are earlier Flange on than in the area of the flatter flanks, which leads to an earlier application of force in the area of the steeper flanks.
- Overall not only can higher clamping forces be introduced, there is also a more uniform distribution of stress, which means that changes in length caused by temperature fluctuations can also be better compensated for.
- the flank angle changes continuously, in particular linearly or square. This continuous change in the flank angle avoids stress peaks and an even stress distribution is achieved.
- the clamp band is divided into at least two parts by recesses in the flanks, the parts being connected to one another in one piece or via a bridge element.
- the division of the clamp band gives the profile clamp a relatively high degree of flexibility, so that it can be widened sufficiently to be able to be easily placed on the flanges of the pipe ends.
- the recesses are usually located diametrically opposite the clamping heads.
- the clamp band is preferably divided into at least three parts, the flank angle in at least one of the parts differing from the flank angle in the other parts.
- the two parts adjacent to the clamping heads have the same, flatter flank angle than the third part of the clamp band that connects these two parts.
- the clamping heads are preferably formed in one piece with the clamp band.
- the clamping heads are thus produced by bending the ends of the clamp band radially outwards and can thus transmit relatively high clamping forces from the clamping device to the clamp band.
- Fig. 1 is a side view of a clamp
- Fig. 2 shows a cross section of a clamp band.
- 1 shows a profile clamp 1 which has a clamp band 2 which, in this exemplary embodiment, comprises four parts 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d.
- Clamping heads 3, 4 are formed at the ends of the clamp band 2 and can be connected to one another via a clamping device, not shown, in particular via a clamping screw. By tensioning this clamping device, the clamping heads 3, 4 are moved towards one another, as a result of which the diameter of the profile clamp 1 is reduced.
- the clamp band 2 has an essentially V-shaped profile with a base 5 and flanks 6, 7 on both sides at its axial edges, between which a flank angle ⁇ is formed (FIG. 2).
- This flank angle a changes continuously over the circumference of the profile clamp. Beginning in the area of the clamping heads 3, 4, this flank angle alpha decreases, so that the flanks are diametrically steeper than the clamping heads than in areas adjacent to the clamping heads 3, 4.
- recesses 8a, 8b, 8c are formed in the flanks between the parts 2a to 2d. These recesses 8a, 8b, 8c can be bridged over bridge elements or a one-piece, continuous bottom 5 of the clamp band 2. As a result, the recesses 8a, 8b, 8c form integral joints with the bridge elements or the floor, via which the profile clamp 1 can be widened.
- the invention is not limited to one of the above-described embodiments, but can be modified in many ways.
- the clamp band can in particular consist of a different number of parts, for example of two parts, which are connected to one another via a cohesive joint.
- a continuously increasing or decreasing flank angle each part of the clamp band could also have a constant flank angle.
