AT513389A4 - Balcony railing with integrated holder for solar collectors - Google Patents

Abstract

Solar collectors were previously mounted mainly on roofs. The following describes a device that allows easy integration into a balcony or logging with railing. The object of the invention is a safe assembly of collector parts such as e.g. To enable vacuum glass tubes (5) from the inside of the balcony. This is inventively achieved by a construction with parallel to the tubes rungs (1 and 1a) on which the holding devices for the individual tubes are mounted. The holding devices for the tubes are horizontally displaceable in order to be able to adapt to different pipe pitches and secure the glass tubes several times against falling when they come off the collector.

Balcony railing with integrated holder for solar collectors

Description While elevated and roof-integrated solar panels provide solar-side access for installation and repair, solar panels on balconies of multi-storey buildings can be difficult to install and maintain afterwards. Larger work requires a scaffold. However, by using vacuum tube collectors, it is possible to mount the collector piece by piece, even from the inside of the balcony. However, it must be ensured that the requirements for the construction products Regulation {Regulation EU no. 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonized conditions for the marketing of construction products, repealing Council Directive 89/106 / EEC). The illustrated devices should help to produce a fall protection of the tubes.

There are mainly Chinese patents dedicated to the integration of collectors into Baikon: • CN202002369; YONGWU TIAN, XIAOYANG HU, HAIMING FU, LEMIN HE, YUCHAO ZHAO; Solar steel inner liner for balcony wall hanging type single-side solar pressure bearing type heat collector • CN102109225; CHUANHONG JIANG, Split type solar water heater with full glass-vacuum tubes

The new device presented here should ensure that vacuum tubes and upper collector of solar panels, can be quickly and safely mounted on a balcony railing, or the railing can be mounted together with the collector and at the same time a Beflanzung remains possible if permitted by the building code , The object is achieved in that the balcony railing adapts to the inclination of the collector and planters are mounted on the inside of the railing. If necessary, the planting is so high that the trough can not be used as a climbing aid.

The assembly of collectors with different pitches and different pipe diameters is made possible by the fact that the G.

Balcony railings with integrated support for solar collectors lower supports for the vacuum tube have common plastic inserts that can be replaced and are horizontally displaceable with their carrier. The glass tubes are fixed horizontally in the upper part by the collector and vertically and horizontally by the lower holder. The collectors have as well as the lower holder moldings with which they can be moved vertically. By a partial vertical displacement of the lower bracket tolerances can be compensated for the insertion of the heat pipes in the chamber. A final fixation is done by so-called grub screws or similar. For securing the tubes during assembly or for very long tubes, it is conceivable to use an upper bracket, where a plastic sleeve makes the final backup. When installing the tubes on site or replacing defective tubes, the bulge of the balcony railing allows manual access to the holder. Alternatively, in a new building, the handrail can be set back, whereby the bottom of the balcony can be pulled to the lower bracket of the collector.

Eie fixation of the vacuum tubes is advantageously carried out on commercially available plastic parts, which are inserted in a slidable metal support and engage. For establishing a fall protection for the glass tubes, a metal cross-member is attached at a distance below the plastic cap, whereby the glass tube can not fall down when slipping out of the heat pipe from the collector or from the double-jacket vacuum tube. The parallel guidance takes place via the upper guide, wherein here also a positive fastening can be effected via a plastic sleeve which can be pushed in from below. The resulting friction fixes the glass tube in addition and the insertion direction supports the fixation of the heat pipes in the collector.

When using longer pipes, there is the freedom to extend the balcony railing downwards regardless of the part of the railing that recedes to the balcony, either leaving it protruding or forming a truss element. Advantageously, this extension does not have to be for everyone against G. Cebrat Page 4 4/13 14.05.2012 14/05/2012 09:42 3/14 No.: R405 P. 008/017 14 May 2012 9:39 HP LRSERJET FAX 031G723757 Page 9

drawings

In the drawings, the subject invention is shown, for example.

Fig. 1 shows a three-dimensional view of the sunken into the bottom plate 2 of the balcony balcony railing 1 with the holder and an exemplary mounted vacuum tube 5, but without the heat pipe 7 set up collector. The vacuum tubes are secured above a holder 4 even without raised collector against falling and fixed down on capsules, which are horizontally and partially vertically displaceable on a holder 3. When mounting the plastic brackets 6 are pushed from below into a support 6 and engage, or safer are screwed into this from below. A working from above lock nut which is previously pushed onto the glass tube allows a backup. A frame 8 allows the attachment of a flower box, if allowed in the building code.

Fig. 2 shows the detail for an extended lower bracket. A commercially available plastic bracket 9 for the lower end of the tube is inserted after sliding onto the glass tube on a plate 10 in which a traverse 11 is integrated which prevents a crash should the inserted KunstStoffaufnähme 9 fail. The device is horizontally displaceable in a C-profile 12 and is fixed therein, for example via a grub screw.

Fig. 3 shows the detail for the upper holder. It consists of a e.g. via a joint 12 movable part 13 which engages in fixing 14, but destructive can be solved again. Thus, each glass tube 5 can be replaced individually. The holder is horizontally displaceable in a C-profile 15 and is fixed therein, for example via a grub screw.

Fig. 4 shows the detail for the guidance of the insulated lines to the collector block. Especially easy is the integration of G. Cebrat 6/13 14.05.2012 5/14 14/05/2012 09:43
