摘要:
The modules for the coach body are divided into module sections and individual pre-assembled sub-assemblies, whereby the modules are produced by joining the individual pre-assembled sub-assemblies to provide module sections and by subsequent joining of the module sections. The joining of the individual pre-assembled sub-assemblies to provide module sections or modules, the joining of the module sections to provide modules and the joining of modules to provide the complete coach body is carried out by cold joining with rapid connector elements (e.g. cold mountable connection elements) and/or specially produced connector components.
摘要:
The invention relates to modular elements (1) of differential construction which are particularly suitable for constructing cold-joined large bodywork or containers. All the components of the modular elements, substantially shell (2), shaping frames (3), edge profile (5) and optionally stringers (4) extending transversely to the frames and acting as buckling resistors, are cold-joined to each other, e.g. by pressure joining, punch riveting and the like. As a result, firstly rapid production with good surface quality is achieved, and secondly different materials such as iron and non-ferrous metals, fiber reinforced plastics etc. can be freely combined in hybrid structures to construct the modular elements, the local arrangement of materials in the modular element having to be adapted to the desired mechanical properties. The structure described herein contributes substantially to mechanized, highgrade software-supported manufacture in which the geometrical data for the half-finished products of the modular elements can flow directly (on-line) from a CAD construction, thus achieving at the same time currently unobtainable flexibility when producing different external shape variants even for a low level of mass production.
