Definitions

  • anchors are installed in boreholes.
  • tie rods are known on the one hand, the anchor rod of which is anchored at one end by means of an expansion element in the bottom of the borehole, and on the other hand carries a thread onto which a nut is screwed.
  • the nut lies against a plate which supports the wall of the cavity (EP-A-94908).
  • adhesive anchors are known, the anchor rod of which is connected to the borehole wall practically over its entire length by means of a two-component adhesive.
  • a nut screwed onto the free end of the anchor rod essentially secures the wall of the cavity only from crumbling over a plate and thus has much smaller forces to be over wear.
  • the adhesive is first packaged in plastic bags and inserted into the borehole.
  • the anchor rod has cutting edges at its front end, which cut the bags open when the rod is inserted into the borehole.
  • the two adhesive components are mixed and adhesive is distributed over the circumference and the length of the rod. After the adhesive has hardened, the nut can be tightened.
  • EP-A 94 908 From EP-A 94 908, from which claim 1 is delimited, it is known to produce the anchor rod from glass fiber reinforced plastic. In addition to its high strength and low weight, this has the advantage that the anchor rod does not corrode. The main problem here is the transmission of force from the anchor rod to the nut.
  • a sleeve cast onto the anchor rod at the end of the rod is provided with a sawtooth-like thread, the flanks of which face away from the free end of the anchor rod are substantially steeper than the flanks facing the free end.
  • the sleeve is secured on the anchor rod by sawtooth-like grooves formed in the rod with axial length decreasing towards the free rod end against axial displacement.
  • the invention has for its object to develop an anchor according to the preamble of claim 1 so that it is easy to manufacture and that it is particularly suitable as an adhesive anchor. This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • the anchor rod By making the load-bearing flanks of the sawtooth thread flat, the anchor rod is radially compressed when the nut is tightened. Experiments have shown that this significantly improves the transmission of force within the anchor rod and that a larger load can therefore be transmitted without shearing off the threads.
  • the thread can either be cut directly into the anchor rod or formed on a sleeve cast or glued onto the anchor rod. In the latter case, the radial compression also considerably improves the transmission of force between the sleeve and the anchor rod.
  • the anchor shown is designed as an adhesive anchor.
  • the anchor rod 1 consists of glass fiber reinforced plastic.
  • two fillets 51 are cut at an acute angle to the rod axis, as a result of which two cutting edges 53 are formed for cutting open the plastic bags containing the two-component adhesive. This design of the cut edges ensures that that the empty plastic bags are not wedged on one side between anchor rod 1 and the borehole wall.
  • a threaded sleeve 3 made of glass fiber reinforced plastic is placed on the anchor rod 1 in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 3.
  • the thread is sawtooth-shaped and has flanks 31 which are inclined flat against the end of the anchor rod 1 to be inserted into the borehole and steep flanks 33 which are directed towards the free end of the anchor rod wedge between a threaded body 11 of the nut 5 and the anchor rod 1.
  • the threads are therefore pressed radially onto the anchor rod 1.
  • the wall thickness 35 between the thread base 34 and the inner wall 38 of the sleeve 3 is very small, that is to say substantially smaller than the wall thickness 37 between the thread comb 36 and the inner wall 38. This ensures that the sleeve 3 is helically longitudinal along with a strong expansion of the anchor rod 1 of the thread base 34 tears. Since the individual threads of the sleeve 3 between the nut 5 and the anchor rod 1 ver are wedged, the power transmission is maintained and it is prevented that the anchor rod 1 can peel from the borehole side of the sleeve 3.
  • the sleeve 3 can be glued or cast onto the anchor rod 1. If the flanks 31 have a very flat angle, a press fit may also be sufficient.
  • the sleeve 3 has axial longitudinal grooves or slots 30 so that it can be radially compressed unimpeded.
  • the thread 2 is cut directly into the anchor rod 1.
  • Tests have shown that the force transmission within the anchor rod 1 is significantly improved by the flat flanks 31 of the thread facing away from the free rod end. This is because the glass fibers embedded in a matrix of synthetic resin and running parallel to the rod axis result in a pronounced anisotropy in the strength values of the rod 1.
  • the shear strength parallel to the fibers is relatively low, but can be increased considerably by radial compression. Therefore, the breaking load at which the threads shear is considerably higher when the thread 2 is designed according to the invention than with a normal thread.
  • the pressure nut 5 is also made of glass fiber reinforced plastic and has a cylindrical threaded body 11, from which radial ribs 25 protrude. On the face side, the ribs 25 each end in a support flange segment 19 with a convex spherical outer surface 21. The segments 19 are separated from one another by radial slots 20. As a result of this design, the contact pressures on the outer surface 21 via the ribs 25 result in radial compression forces on the threaded body 11, which counteract the expansion forces of the sawtooth thread 2. The wall of the threaded body 11 is thus compressed in the radial direction, which causes an elastic extension of the threaded body 11 in the axial direction proportional to the load. By suitable dimensioning, this elastic extension of that of the anchor rod 1 can be adapted under load, so that all threads carry the same amount. An ideal power transmission from the pressure nut 5 to the anchor rod 1 is thus achieved.
  • the mother is closed on the outside by a cover 13.
  • An axial circumferential groove 15 extends at the edge of the cover 13.
  • the wall thickness of the nut is small between the bottom of the groove 15 and the bottom of the threaded bore 17, so that a predetermined breaking point 9 is formed here.
  • the predetermined breaking point 9 is dimensioned strong enough to withstand the torque required for mixing the two-component boar from the nut 5 to transfer the anchor rod 1. After the adhesive has hardened, the predetermined breaking point 9 breaks when the nut 5 is turned further, so that the nut 5 can be tightened.
  • the nut 5 is supported against an anchor plate 7, which has a support flange 41 with a spherical support surface 47.
  • Radial and annular ribs 45, 43 are arranged on the support flange 41, which form a kind of crumple zone, so that the support flange can be supported uniformly along its circumference on the wall of the cavity.
  • the spherical surfaces 21, 47 prevent bending of the anchor rod 1.
  • the limitation of the screwing-in torque by the cover 13 connected to the threaded body 11 via the predetermined breaking point 9 is generally applicable to adhesive anchors, irrespective of the thread shape and the material of the anchor rod 1. Since the maximum transferable torque is relatively exactly defined by this predetermined breaking point, this can be ensured can be, on the one hand the required roe for mixing the adhesive D moment applied sure, but that the armature rod is not overloaded during further rotation of the nut on the other hand, after curing of the adhesive.
