Description

The invention relates to a modular wall system for simply separating rooms, for example offices or sales rooms, similar to a drywall, with which at least two rooms can be separated from one another visually and / or acoustically and / or with regard to air conditioning. The modular wall system has at least one connection element which can be fixed to a floor, wall or ceiling surface, at least one frame element which can be fixed to a floor and the connection element and / or other frame elements and at least two plate-shaped cover elements with any surface which the frame element can be covered on both sides of the wall.

In the course of the digital transformation and the new sharing culture, the work culture is subject to radical change. New room solutions and a tailor-made infrastructure are necessary for the different requirements of everyday work. Office space often has to be adapted to a new team or employee structure. It is of great advantage if existing office spaces can be quickly and easily merged or separated, completely redistributed or the type of use of the rooms can be quickly adapted to changed needs (e.g. merging of individual offices into a meeting room or project room).

Previous wall systems for such purposes are firmly screwed to the wall, ceiling and floor, which u. a. imposes immense requirements in the area of fire and building protection and, above all, has a lasting effect on the existing building fabric. Although such wall systems are modular in principle, they can only be adapted to new space requirements with considerable structural effort.

The object of the present invention is to provide a modular wall system which can be quickly, easily and inexpensively adapted to new room requirements, in particular with regard to the room layout and the wall design (inserting doors or windows, adapting the wall surface design or attaching further pieces of furniture and additional elements) and the building fabric is not permanently damaged.

This object is achieved by a modular wall system for simply separating rooms, for example offices or sales rooms, similar to a drywall, with which at least two rooms can be separated from one another visually and / or acoustically and / or with regard to air conditioning. The modular wall system has at least one connection element that can be fixed on a wall or ceiling surface, at least one frame element that can be fixed with respect to a floor and the connection element and / or other frame elements, and at least two plate-shaped cover elements with any surface with which the Frame element can be covered flat on both wall sides, on. The modular wall system is characterized in that the frame element further has screw base elements on its outer sides, the base distance of which from the frame can be adjusted along the screw base element longitudinal axis running parallel to the wall surface of the wall system, with which the frame element can be braced against a floor and at least one connection element.

The modular wall system according to the invention, when assembled, completely replaces the otherwise costly interior construction of office space in dry construction. The frame elements are preferably made of wood panel materials which have been reversibly screwed together in the form of a frame. Furthermore, metal, plastic or any other material known to the person skilled in the art and suitable for such a frame element is also conceivable as the frame material. The frame elements are preferably one meter wide. The height of the frame elements is preferably 2.7 m, 3 m or 3.3 m. A restriction to certain height dimensions, which corresponds to a standardization, serves the economical production of the frame elements as well as the reusability within a property (for example the modular wall is moved to another place on the floor). It is therefore also conceivable to choose any other dimension as the standard height dimension of the frame elements. An adjustment to the actual room height is possible by adjusting the length of the connection element. The individual frame elements, with a preferred width of 1 m, can be reversibly connected to one another on their vertical outer sides, so that module walls with widths greater than 1 m can be produced. The frame elements are preferably fastened to one another with the aid of carriage bolts, sleeves or sleeves, any other fastening method known to the person skilled in the art being conceivable. It is also conceivable that frame elements can be connected to one another on their upper and lower outer sides in order to achieve module walls with a greater height.

Screw base elements are preferably located on the outside of a frame element. The screw base elements are preferably located on the upper and lower outer sides of the frame element (that is to say the horizontally oriented outer sides). At least two screw base elements per frame element are preferably located on these outer sides. On the side or vertical aligned outer sides are preferably only screw base elements when no further frame element is attached to the corresponding outer side. Overall, the screw base elements are therefore preferably only arranged on the outer sides of a frame element which directly adjoin the floor or a connection element.

The screw base elements preferably have a screw base element longitudinal axis. This axis is preferably made of a metal. Furthermore, this axis preferably has a thread with which the distance between the foot of the screw base element and the frame element can be adjusted by means of a screwing movement.

In summary, individual frame elements can be fastened to one another with the help of screws and sleeves (or sleeves) until the desired wall width and wall height of the module wall is reached and now form a frame unit. The screw base elements are preferably arranged on the outer sides of this frame unit, with which the frame unit can be clamped and / or pressed between the floor and the connection elements attached to the wall and ceiling surfaces by adjusting the distance between the base frame element.

The frame elements attached in this way can now be covered with a cover element on the flat wall side. Each frame element is preferably covered on both flat wall sides with the aid of a cover element. The cover element can be made of any desired material, for example. From wood or plastic, with any desired surface, e.g. By lamination or any other method of applying a surface coating, e.g. stick on, paint or varnish. The modular wall system can be optically adapted to any requirement. Furthermore, the appearance of the module wall can be changed in a simple manner by exchanging the cover elements for cover elements with a different appearance.

According to at least one further embodiment, the modular wall system furthermore has a flat strip element, which rests with its underside flat on the floor or the connection elements and on its upper side facing the screw base elements has a recess which extends in its length over the entire length of the strip element extends and has a width corresponding to the width of the screw base element.

The width of the strip element is preferably 10 cm. The strip element preferably rests completely on the surface of the connection element which faces the screw base elements. The depth of the recess of the strip element is preferably selected so that the foot of the screw base element is safely guided in a direction perpendicular to the wall surface of the module wall. To simplify assembly, the bar element is preferably used with the help of z. B. fastened brackets on the floor and / or the connection elements. The strip element guides the feet of the screw base elements in a direction parallel to the wall surface and prevents the feet from slipping in a direction perpendicular to the wall surface. This allows the clamping force between the screw base element and the base or connection element to be reduced. Furthermore, the strip element distributes the punctual pressure of the screw base elements against the floor or the connection elements linearly on the support surface of the strip element.

According to at least one further embodiment, the connection element comprises a cuboid element which extends in height at least over the height of at least one frame element and in its depth has a maximum depth of the frame element and can be fixed to a wall or ceiling surface.

The connection elements and in particular the cuboid elements preferably consist of a dry construction material. The connection elements are preferably attached to the wall or ceiling surface at a right angle. An assembly at other angles to the wall or ceiling surface is also conceivable. The connection elements are preferably installed with the aid of screws and a U-shaped profile or with any other method known to those skilled in the art for installing a drywall. The connection elements preferably have a minimum length of 10 cm in the direction of extension of the modular wall to be assembled. The dry construction material used in the connection element preferably has a thickness of 10 cm. Furthermore, cables and lines for the office infrastructure, in particular power lines and LAN cables for the Internet supply, as well as building services infrastructure, such as e.g. Heating cables or ventilation ducts, can be laid. The connection elements can, for example, be installed in advance at regular intervals on wall and ceiling surfaces. Furthermore, the connection elements can be designed to be optically uniform with the ceiling or existing (external) walls. Due to their small length and width and optical inconspicuousness, mounted connection elements do not disturb the overall visual appearance of the rooms even if no modular wall system is installed on them, for example because a large room without partition walls is to be created.

According to at least one further embodiment, the frame element has at least one horizontally running first hook element and the plate-shaped cover element has at least one second horizontally running second hook element, which is designed to be complementary to the first hook element, so that the plate-shaped cover element on the frame element with the aid of the first and second hook elements is attachable. The first and / or second hook element is preferably designed as a wedge bar.

By attaching the cover elements to the frame element by hanging, a very high flexibility of the wall design of the modular wall system is created. The cover elements can therefore be exchanged quickly and easily without tools and without further structural measures, so that the appearance of the module wall can be adapted extremely quickly to changing requirements.

According to at least one further embodiment, the first hook element is a horizontally running bar with a rectangular cross-section, the upward-facing side of which has a rectangular projection on the edge facing the cover element and the second hook element is a horizontally running bar with a rectangular cross-section, the downward-facing side has a rectangular projection on the edge facing away from the cover element.

The first hook element, which is arranged on the frame element, thus represents a spring which, when the cover element is hung on the frame element, is guided in a groove formed by the second hook element together with the cover element. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the first and second hook elements have a rounded instead of an angular shape. It is also conceivable that the first hook element merely consists of the projection serving as a spring or that this projection is attached to a different basic shape than the described, horizontally extending strip with a rectangular cross section. It is also conceivable that the second hook element has a different basic shape and only has one recess which is designed to be complementary to the projection of the first hook element. Preferably, at least one first hook element is arranged on both sides of the frame element, which correspond to the later wall surfaces of the module wall, so that both wall surfaces can be covered with the help of a cover element and a visually appealing module wall is achieved. Up to three first hook elements per wall side are preferably arranged on a frame element. However, any other number of first hook elements is also conceivable. The cover elements preferably have a number of second hook elements corresponding to the number of first hook elements on a wall side of the frame element.

According to at least one further embodiment, an insulating material can be introduced over a large area in the frame element. The insulation material is used for both thermal insulation and sound insulation. The insulating material is arranged flat parallel to the wall surface in the frame element. The insulating material is preferably arranged between the first hook elements, which are preferably attached to the frame element on both sides. The insulating material is preferably designed as an insulating material for building purposes, e.g. Styrofoam, mineral wool, wood fiber boards, mineral insulation boards, foam boards, insulation boards made of cellulose, perlite, hemp, flax or foam glass. However, any other insulating material known to the person skilled in the art is also conceivable. With the aid of the insulating material, a sound insulation of 32-42 db, in particular 37-39 db, is preferably achieved from one side of the module wall to the other side of the module wall.

According to at least one further embodiment, the modular wall system has a corner element with which at least two or up to four frame elements can be connected on their perpendicular outer sides at an angle of 90 degrees and / or 180 degrees to one another. The corner element can be connected to one another with a frame element in the same way as the frame elements. The corner element is preferably designed as a hollow pillar with a square base. Furthermore, the corner element preferably has at least one screw base element on its top and bottom. The length of one side of the square base area preferably corresponds to the depth of the frame elements. The corner element preferably connects two frame elements on their perpendicular outer sides at an angle of 90 degrees to one another. This means that the frame elements are arranged on two adjacent vertical side surfaces of the corner element. It is also conceivable to arrange three or four frame elements on a corner element. If only two or three frame elements are arranged on a corner element, separate cover elements can be arranged on the remaining vertical side surfaces of the corner element, which cover elements can have the same surface as the other cover elements of the module wall. These separate cover elements have a width that is adapted to the corner element. In this way, the corner element can be optically completely integrated into the module wall.

According to at least one further embodiment, the modular wall system has a door element which can be arranged instead of a frame element. The door element can thus can be installed wherever a frame element is otherwise arranged in the module wall. The door element has a door frame which can be connected to one another with other frame elements in the same way as the frame elements. Screw base elements can also be arranged on the outside of the door element. Furthermore, the door element preferably has a door leaf. The room separated by the modular wall system can be entered through the door element.

According to at least one further embodiment, the modular wall system has a window element which can be arranged instead of a frame element. The window element can thus be installed wherever a frame element is otherwise arranged in the module wall. The window element preferably has a frame which can be connected to one another with other frame elements in the same way as the frame elements. One or more glass plates can preferably be used in this framework. The glass plate is preferably a toughened safety glass with a thickness of 6 to 8 mm. Two glass plates can preferably be used in one window element. The two glass plates preferably have different thicknesses. One glass plate preferably has a thickness of 6 mm and the second glass plate has a thickness of 8 mm. This embodiment is particularly preferred, since the different thicknesses of the glass plates make it possible to achieve particularly good sound insulation due to an asymmetrical vibration behavior. The glass plates are preferably arranged flush with the frame of the window element on the inside and / or outside.

According to at least one further embodiment, the modular wall system has a slot rail which can be arranged on the frame elements and furthermore has constantly spaced slots along the length of the slot rail in which furniture elements which have complementary shaped hook elements can be hung. The slot rail is preferably designed as an elongated bar. The slot rail preferably has slots at constant intervals along its longer axis. The slots are preferably aligned parallel to the longer axis of the slot rail. Preferably two slots are always aligned next to one another and parallel to the longer axis. In this embodiment, the slot rail is preferably designed as a double slot rail. The slot rail can preferably be arranged on the butt joint of two frame elements arranged next to one another. The slot rail is preferably fixed on both frame elements arranged next to one another, overlapping the butt joint. Screws are preferably used for fixing, but any other type of fastening is also conceivable. The furniture elements that can be hung in the slot rail are preferably, but not exclusively, shelves, shelf boxes, coat hooks, coat rails, pin boards, flip charts, holders or pin strips. All furniture elements have hooks that are shaped to complement the slots in the slot rail. The furniture element can be hung on the slot rail with the help of the hooks. Due to the constant spacing of the slots in the slot rail, the furniture element can be hung on the module wall at different heights. Several furniture elements per frame element can also be hung on the module wall. Several furniture elements can also be arranged parallel to one another.
