Method for manufacturing hollow profiles, and hollow profile
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing hollow profiles, having the following method steps: providing an initial hollow profile which in an insertion wall and optionally in at least one intermediate wall displays an insertion opening, providing a support element which displays a bolt element, an engagement element, and support walls which are disposed between the bolt element and longitudinal flanks, passing through the support element through the insertion opening until the support walls are positioned in the initial hollow profile, engaging a tool on the engagement element, rotating the support element by means of the tool until regions of the longitudinal flanks touch inner walls of the initial hollow profile, connecting the regions of the longitudinal flanks to the initial hollow profile via the inner walls.
1. A hollow profile structure, comprising:
an initial hollow profile and at least one support element, the support element including:
a bolt element;
an engagement element that includes at least one connection element, wherein the at least one connection element has an interior thread;
support walls which are disposed between the bolt element and longitudinal flanks, wherein regions of the longitudinal flanks are connected to the initial hollow profile via inner walls of the initial hollow profile; and
a positioning element that communicates with a positioning receptacle, wherein the positioning receptacle is provided as an embossing of the initial hollow profile or an opening in a wall of the initial hollow profile.
2. The hollow profile structure according to claim 1 , wherein the engagement element in the region of an insertion opening is connected to the initial hollow profile in at least one of a force-fitting and a materially integral manner.
3. The hollow profile structure according to claim 2 , wherein the engagement element is connected to the initial hollow profile by at least one of welding and adhesive bonding.
4. The hollow profile structure according to claim 1 , wherein for centering the support element a receptacle part, by way of a centring assembly, is placed upon the engagement element, and the receptacle part is connected to the initial hollow profile in at least one of a force-fitting and a materially integral manners.
5. The hollow profile structure according to claim 4 , wherein the receptacle part is connected to the initial hollow profile by at least one of welding, adhesive bonding, or threading.
6. The hollow profile structure according to claim 1 , wherein the initial hollow profile is configured as a single-chamber hollow profile.
7. The hollow profile structure according to claim 1 , wherein the initial hollow profile is configured as a multiple-chamber hollow profile.
8. The hollow profile structure according to claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal flanks are beveled.
9. The hollow profile structure according to claim 1 , wherein the initial hollow profile is configured as a rectangular profile having an interior width (Bh) which corresponds to an effective support width (Bs) of the support element.
10. The hollow profile structure according to claim 9 , wherein the interior width (Bh) in the region of the support element is reduced at least in portions.
11. The hollow profile structure according to claim 1 , wherein the initial hollow profile is composed of an aluminium alloy of the 6xxx or 7xxx type.
12. The hollow profile structure according to claim 1 , wherein the shape of the insertion opening substantially corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the support element.
13. The hollow profile structure according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning receptacle is provided as an embossing of the initial hollow profile.
14. The hollow profile structure according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning receptacle is provided as an opening in a wall of the initial hollow profile.
15. A method for manufacturing hollow profiles, comprising:
providing an initial hollow profile which in an insertion wall and optionally in at least one intermediate wall displays an insertion opening;
providing a support element which displays a bolt element, an engagement element, and support walls which are disposed between the bolt element and longitudinal flanks, wherein the engagement element includes at least one connection element, and the at least one connection element as an interior thread,
passing through the support element through the insertion opening until the support walls are positioned in the initial hollow profile and until a positioning element of the support element communicates with a positioning receptacle, wherein the positioning receptacle is provided as an embossing of the initial hollow profile or an opening in a wall of the initial hollow profile;
engaging a tool on the engagement element;
rotating the support element by means of the tool until regions of the longitudinal flanks touch inner walls of the initial hollow profile; and
connecting the regions of the longitudinal flanks to the initial hollow profile via the inner walls.
16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the connection takes place in a materially integral manner by welding or adhesive bonding.
17. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the positioning element and/or the engagement element are/is connected to the initial hollow profile in a materially integral manner, for example by welding or adhesive bonding, or in a force-fitting manner by way of threaded means.
18. The method according to claim 15 , wherein for centring the support element a receptacle part, by way of a centring assembly, is placed upon the engagement element, and subsequently the receptacle part is connected to the initial hollow profile in a materially integral manner by welding, adhesive bonding, or threaded means.
