Description
Tailorable part of a manhole or an inspection shaft and method for tailoring a manhole or an inspection shaft
The invention relates to a tailorable part of a manhole or an inspection shaft as well as to a method for tailoring a manhole or an inspection shaft.
Manholes or inspection shafts are placed in the ground as a point of access to an underground pipe system for, for instance, sewage and/or rain water management. In a lower part of the manhole or inspection shaft pipes are connected and open at their upper side so as to allow for access. The diametrical dimension of this lower part is to an extent determined by the diameter of the pipes and the number of pipes that are connected by that lower part of the manhole or inspection shaft. As explained below, the diametrical dimension of that lower part may also be determined by the size of the feet and shoes of a typical workman in an area where the manhole or inspection shaft is placed in the ground.
An upper part of the manhole or inspection shaft is determined by the typical size of a workman that, needs to enter the manhole or inspections shaft for .inspecting and/or maintaining, such as cleaning, the accessible part of the pipe system. In that situation, the workman will stand with his feet on the lower part whilst his upper body will extend through the upper part of the manhole or inspection, shaft. Thus, the lower part needs to provide enough space for at least having the feet of the man being supported, preferably without being trapped in the pipe system. The upper part of the manhole or inspection shaft has dimensions which allow at least for an upper body part of a workman to be present in that upper part in such a way that the workman can still manipulate tools and/or inspection instruments. Typically, the lower part has a diametrical dimension of approx. 60 cm. The upper part, typically, has a diametrical dimension of about 80 cm. These dimensions, however, may vary from place t.o place, country to country, and with dimensions of the entire pipe system. DE 202012101644 U1 and DE 202012101645 U1 each disclose a shaft system having an upper part and a lower part of different diametrical dimensions.
Manholes and inspection shafts are nowadays often produced from plastic. By means of some kind of moulding process the manhole or inspection shaft is formed. Having moulds for each and every different combination of diametrical dimensions of the upper and lower part of a manhole and/or inspection shaft is expensive, requires a large number of moulds, and leads to a number of replacements of moulds during the production process, which is cumbersome and costly.
It is an object of the present disclosure to allow for producing a manhole or inspection shaft that is more costefficient and requires fewer moulds.
Summary of the present disclosure
Provided is a. tailorable part of a manhole or an inspection shaft having a cylindrical wall part with an axial direction and a first diametrical dimension. The tailorable part has a transitionary wall part that narrows from the first diametrical dimension. The transitionary wall part has at its outer circumference at least one structure configured for providing stability to a saw when a part of the transitionary is sawn off in a direction transverse to the axial direction. This allows for tailoring the tailorable part for connection to a lower part of a manhole or inspection shaft that has a cylindrical wall part with a second diametrical dimension 'which is smaller than the first diametrical dimension,
The disclosure further provides a tailorable part of a manhole or an inspection part having a cylindrical wall part in an axial direction and a. first diametrical dimension. The tailorable part has a transitionary wall part that widens from the first diametrical dimension. The transitionary wall part has at its outer circumference at least one structure configured for providing stability to a saw and a part of the transitionary part is sawn off in a direction transverse to the axial direction. This allows for tailoring the tailorable part for connection to an upper part of a manhole or inspection shaft that has a cylindrical wall part with a second diametrical dimension which is larger than the first diametrical dimension.
Consequently, and advantageously, it is possible to have a transitionary wall part and a cylindrical 'wall part connected thereto such that the transitionary wall part can be combined with virtually any other diametrical dimension of another cylindrical wall part. As such it is possible to have a cylindrical wall part, with a diametrical dimension that is very often used connected to a transitionary wa.ll part which can conveniently be cut so as to allow for connecting up with a part of a manhole or inspection shaft having a second diametrical dimension. This possibility reduces the number of moulds needed whilst still providing the possibility to produce a manhole or an inspection shaft having at least one of the cylindrical wall parts in a size that may not be so frequently used. Furthermore, depending on the exact diameter that is formed at the end of the transitionary part after sawing off a part, it is possible that different connections may be formed, different in the sense of for instance the number of welds inside and outside for establishing the connection, between a transitionary part and an upper or lower part of the manhole or inspection shaft.
This will also become further clear from reading the more detailed description, with reference to the attached drawing.
According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a method is provided for tailoring a manhole or an inspection shaft. The method comprises providing a tailorable part of a manhole or an inspection shaft having a cylindrical wall part with an axial direction and a first diametrical dimension, wherein the tailorable part has a transitionary wall part that narrows from the first diametrical dimension and wherein the transitionary wall part has at its outer circumference at least one structure configured for providing stability to a saw when a part of the transitionary part is sawn oft in a direction transverse to the axial direction. Alternatively, the method comprises providing a tailorable part of a manhole or an inspection shaft having a cylindrical wall part with an axial direction and a first diametrical dimension, wherein the tailorable wall part has a transitionary wall part that widens from the first diametrical dimension, and wherein the transitionary wall part has at its outer circumference at least one structure configured for providing stability to a saw when a part of the transitionary part is sawn off in a direction transverse to the axial direction.
The method further comprises sawing off a part of the transitionary part in a direction transverse to the axial direction using a structure for providing stability to a saw.
The method further comprises welding the sawn off transitionary part to a lower part of a manhole or inspection shaft that has a cylindrical wall part with a second diametrical dimension which is smaller than the first diametrical dimension, or to an upper part of a manhole or inspection shaft that has a cylindrical wall part with a second diametrical dimension which is larger than the first diametrical dimension. The method thus, conveniently and advantageously, provides for an easy and direct way of tailoring a manhole or inspection shaft, having optimal flexibility in terms of tailoring whilst, still having the possibility to end up with a high quality manhole or inspection shaft of which the diametrical dimensions, the overall height and the strength can easily and flexibly be controlled.

In the drawing, like features are referred to by like references .
An example of a tailorable part 1 of, or for, a manhole or an .inspection shaft is shown in Fig. 1 in a perspective view. The tailorable part 1 has a cylindrical wall part 2 with an axial direction and a first diametrical dimension which is in this example a diameter of the wall part 2. The tailorable part 1 also has a transitionary wall part 3 (better shown in Fig. 2) which narrows from the first diametrical dimension. In this example the transitionary wall part is cone-shaped. The transitionary wall part 3 has at its outer circumference at least one structure 6 configured for providing stability to a saw when a part of. the transitionary part 3 is sawn off in a direction transverse to the axial direction. As such, the tailorable wall part 3 is suitable for being tailored for connection to a lower part of a manhole or inspection shaft that has a cylindrical wall part 5 with a second diametrical dimension which is smaller than the first diametrical dimension. For visualizing the suitability, reference is made to Fig, 11.
It is possible that the transitionary wall part 3 has at its outer circumference multiple structures 6 which are each configured for providing stability to a saw when a part of the transitionary part is sawn off in a direction transverse to the axial direction. These structures 6 may in a circumferential direction be spatially separated from each other. In that case, each of these structures may serve as a structure for providing stability to a saw. However, each of these structures will, when used for sawing off a part of the transitionary part 3, lead to the same result. That is, when a cone-shaped transitionary part. is used, a further truncation of the cone will be the same, no matter which of the structures 6 spatially separated in the circumferential direction is used for providing the stability to the saw. It is possible to have a structure that extends in circumferential direction over a small part of the circumference, as the stability for a saw is only required in the beginning of the sawing. Once the sawing has advanced, the cut itself will provide stability to the saw and provides guidance as to the further direction of sawing. Alternatively, or additionally, the number of the structures 6 are in axial direction separated from, each other. For such tailorable parts, a number of possible truncations are envisageable, in that structures 6 are provided which would lead to mutually different end results. Accordingly, the flexibility of such tailorable parts is higher in that it can be combined with a larger number of different diameters of an upper or lower part of a manhole or inspection shaft.
Fig. 3 shows a cross section taken along the lines A-A shown in Fig. 2. In the lower LH side corner of Fig. 3 a box is put around the transitionary part 3. Fig. 4 shows magnified what is shown in the box in Fig. 3. The transitionary part 3 comprises an end 7 having the smallest diametrical dimension of the transitionary part 3. That end 7 has a surface extending in the direction transverse to the axial direction. The structure 6' configured for providing stability to a saw allows for producing a new end 7 having a surface extending in the direction, transverse to the axial direction. The new surface 7 has a width which is larger than the thickness of the transitionary wall part 3. This allows for much tolerance in the positioning of the connection against a surface of the lower cylindrical part.
The end 7 of the untailored tailorable wall part has a. width which is shorter than the thickness of the transitionary wall part, giving it some flexibility for "easing in" and more space for providing a weld. The transitionary wall part 3 allows for self-centering when being connected to the lower part of a manhole or inspection shaft.
Structure 6 which is configured fox' providing stability to a saw may comprise a surface 8 that extends in a direction transverse to the axial direction of the tailorable part. It is easily imaginable that a saw will be placed against surface 8 as a form of providing stability and/or guidance when the saw advances through the thickness of wall part 3 in a direction transverse to the axial, direction. Structure 6 may also comprise a surface 9 that extends in a direction that is inclined to or parallel to an axial direction of the tai.lora.ble part 3. The structure 6 may comprise a groove in the outer surface of the transitionary wall part 3. The structure 6 may comprise a ridge 10 at the inner surface of the transitionary wall part 3.
Fig. 5 shows an end of the tailorable part 3. The end comprises a narrowed end 1.3. On the outer side of the narrowed end a cavity 11 is provided to which an upwardly protruding part 12 is held for supporting the narrowed end 13 of the tailorable part 3. The upwardly protruding part 12 may be a part of a lower cylindrical part to which the tailorable part 3 is to be connected. The tailorable part 3 may be connected to the lower part 5 of a manhole or an inspection shaft. The connection may comprise at least one weld W. The weld may extend in a circumferential direction. However, it is also possible that a number of welds are spatially separated from each, other in circumferential direction. As shown in Fig. 5, the weld is in an external circumference of the manhole or inspection shaft.
Fig. 6 shows a tailorable part of which the transitionary part 3 has an end 13 that has been produced by sawing off in a direction transverse to the axial direction a part, of the transitionary part 3. The transitionary part 3 may be connected to a lower part 5 of a manhole or inspection shaft which has a cylindrical wall 1.4 with a. second diametrical dimension which is smaller than the first diametrical dimension of the cylindrical wall 2 of the upper part of the manhole or inspection shaft. The connection may be formed by a weld W.
Comparing figures 5-10, it is clear that many different possibilities for connecting the tailorable part 3 with a lower part 5 is possible, depending on an upper rim structure of the lower part. 5, the diameter of the lower part 5, and the desired strength of the connection. Where a reference W? is positioned in the figures a weld may be applied or not.
It should be borne in mind that also the lower part may be adjusted in height by sawing off a part. Equally, by sawing off a part it is possible to provide a rim structure suitable for connection with the end 13 of the tailorable part 3 in unaltered condition, or in a sawn-off condition. This is easily understood when considering Fig. 11. Cutting line A will result in an upstanding rim. Cutting line B2 will result in a rim having a flange. A method for tailoring a manhole or an inspection shaft comprises providing a tailorable part of a manhole or inspection shaft, such as for instance one of the tailorable parts discussed above. The method further comprises sawing off a part of that transitionary part in a direction transverse to the axial direction using the structure for providing stability to a saw. The method further comprises welding the sawn-off transitionary part to a lower part of a manhole or inspection shaft that has a cylindrical wall part.
It will be clear that instead of providing the tailorable wall part 3 so as to connect it with a lower part of a manhole or inspection shaft, it is also possible to have a tailorable part that widens from a first diametrical dimension. In that case the tailorable part 3 is suitable for connecting with an upper part (not shown) of a manhole or inspection shaft that has a second diametrical dimension which is larger than the first diametrical dimension.
Indeed, many variations are possible. Not necessarily is the transitionary part cone-shaped. It may also have an asymmetrical shape. The inspection shaft not necessarily is limited to a size so that it can be placed in the ground at a relatively short distance from the pavement, or road. The inspection shaft may equally be a very long shaft that goes several meters deep into the ground. When the height of the manhole or inspection shaft needs to be varied, this can also be done by adjusting a length of cylindrical paths of the manhole or inspection shaft. For this purpose, also such cylindrical parts may be provided with structures that, would provide stability for a saw when a part of that cylindrical part is sawn off in a direction transverse to the axial direction, so as to tailor that cylindrical, part in height for connection to a tailorable part. Such structures provided on outer surface of the cylindrical part, may equally in circumferential direction be spatially separated from each other. Alternatively, or additionally, these structures may equally in axial direction be spatially separated from each other.
As long as a part widens or narrows in its diametrical dimension, that part can be considered a transitionary part. Such a transitionary is also a tailorable part. This equally applies when that part is already connected at both ends to a cylindrical part.
Many modifications are possible and understood to fall within the framework of the present disclosure, further defined by the appended claims.
