Rotatable connection
A rotatable connection between a first component and a second component, the rotatable connection comprising: a first connecting piece composed of metal and which is to penetrate the first component over at least the entire thickness of the first component, in which at an end facing the second component, the first connecting piece is welded to the second component.
1. A method for producing a rotatable connection, comprising:
integrating a bearing sleeve into a plate-shaped first component composed of a fibre reinforced plastic material, the bearing sleeve comprising a through bore defining a rotation axis transversely extending between opposing sides of the first component, the sleeve being interwoven into the first component during production of the first component such that a compaction of fibres of the fibre reinforced plastic material is produced in a region around the sleeve, the sleeve having shaped recess portions distributed over a periphery thereof in which fibres are compacted forming a positive material connection to increase resistance to twisting under load of the sleeve relative to the first component;
arranging a cylindrical pin-shaped connecting piece, defining a rotation axis and composed of metal, to coaxially and rotatably extend through the integrated sleeve and the first component; and
connecting the connecting piece to a plate-shaped second component, composed of metal, disposed parallel to the first component, the second component being connected to the connecting piece by spot welding the connecting piece to an inner face of the second component at an exterior exposed surface of the second component opposite the first component such that the second component is rotatable about the rotation axis of the bearing sleeve.
2. A method for producing a rotatable connection, comprising:
integrating a bearing sleeve into a plate-shaped first component composed of a fibre reinforced plastic material, the bearing sleeve comprising a through bore defining a rotation axis transversely extending between opposing sides of the first component, the sleeve being interwoven into the first component during production of the first component such that a compaction of fibres of the fibre reinforced plastic material is produced in a region around the sleeve, the sleeve having recesses distributed over a periphery thereof in which fibres are compacted forming a positive material connection to increase resistance to twisting under load of the sleeve relative to the first component;
arranging a cylindrical pin-shaped connecting piece, defining a rotation axis and composed of metal, to coaxially and rotatably extend through the integrated sleeve and the first component; and
connecting the connecting piece to a plate-shaped second component, composed of metal, disposed parallel to the first component, the second component being connected to the connecting piece by spot welding the connecting piece to an inner face of the second component at an exterior exposed surface of the second component opposite the first component such that the second component is rotatable about the rotation axis of the bearing sleeve.
3. A rotatable connection, comprising:
a plate-shaped first component, composed of a fibre reinforced plastic material, having integrated therein a bearing sleeve, the bearing sleeve comprising a through bore defining a rotation axis transversely extending between opposing sides of the first component, the sleeve being interwoven into the first component such that a compaction of fibres of the fibre reinforced plastic material is produced in a region around the sleeve, the sleeve having shaped recess portions distributed over a periphery thereof in which fibres are compacted forming a positive material connection to increase resistance to twisting under load of the sleeve relative to the first component;
a cylindrical pin-shaped connecting piece, defining a rotation axis and composed of metal, coaxially and rotatably arranged in the integrated sleeve, to extend through the first component; and
a plate-shaped second component, composed of metal, disposed parallel to the first component, the second component being connected to the connecting piece by spot welding the connecting piece to an inner face of the second component at an exterior exposed surface of the second component opposite the first component such that the second component is rotatable about the rotation axis of the bearing sleeve.
4. The rotatable connection of 3 , wherein the connecting piece comprises a pin-shaped configuration having a head.
5. The rotatable connection of 3 , wherein the connecting piece has a cylindrical configuration, and at one end thereof is welded to the second component, and at an opposing end thereof is welded to a third component disposed parallel to the first and second components.
