Description

The invention relates to a facade shell according to the Preamble of claim 1.

An existing facade shell can be in the side area or in Roof area of a building can be arranged, the lateral outer surface or can also form a roof surface of the building. The facade shell form the outer wall of the building in the sense of a single-shell design or it can be part of a double-skin outer wall of the building. A single-shell Construction is conceivable for undemanding buildings where there is wind and Rain protection arrives, whereby the intensity of the Ventilation is adjustable. Double-skin facades are designed for demanding Buildings that serve the residence of people, z. B. in Skyscrapers, if one despite extreme wind and rain loads targeted natural ventilation and temperature control of the rooms behind is required, as well as overheating of the facade space can be prevented should.

The panels of an existing facade shell mostly consist of translucent material, especially glass. For subordinate purposes, e.g. B. for halls with high ventilation requirements where lighting is required Daylight is not required, the panels can also be made of opaque Material.

An existing facade shell has to meet a number of requirements. To the some should have their parts with a long service life and also be trouble-free Ensure function as maintenance or repair in the facade area is complex and expensive. On the other hand, the facade shell should be closed Condition of their panels to be tight to the spaces behind them from rainwater, To protect wind pressure, draft and cold or heat. Since the plates of the Facade shell is a typical mass product, should also be a simple and Cost-effective manufacture and simple and quick assembly guaranteed his. If the plates from a so-called at least two-shell Insulated washer unit, also ensure a safe construction, especially with regard to the outer pane of the insulating pane unit.

A facade shell and an associated panel is described in WO 96/06258. In this known facade shell, the panels can be double-skin Insulating disk units are formed, which are each held in a holder, which only holds the inner pane, with its upper and lower edge is attacked. The outer pane is not specially kept, but only bonded. There is therefore a risk of accidents if the outer pane is detached. As can be seen from Fig. 11 of this document, the inner panes each held in that claw-shaped retaining webs over and over the inner pane reach behind, each in a recess of a metal or Enclose plastic part, which in the existing edge bond made of adhesive Material is embedded and is therefore a typical free part that is suitable for the Immersion of the holding bars required recess from the adhesive Composite material between the panes keeps clear. The holding bars are inside provided with a rubber layer, whereby the inner pane is mounted damped. Special sealing features for the plates in their closed position are off not to be inferred from this publication. Only on the lower edges of the Outer panes, which overlap the lower outer pane, is one Sealing strips arranged as a so-called driving rain seal, which in the closed position of the plates the associated upper edge of the lower Outer pane overlaps. In this context it should be noted that at this known embodiment, the outer disks of the plates in their The closed position is on one level without the lower outer pane overlap.

In EP 0 477 955 A2 is a louvre window with pivotable one above the other arranged heat-insulating panes described in the closed Condition the long sides of the washers with two rubber seals each be sealed pressure-tight. On the vertical narrow sides are with a swivel bearing brackets, the edge area of the discs cover. The brackets on the frame are sealed with the help of Brushes attached to the frame. With this louvre window it is disadvantageous that the brush seals are not suction and pressure resistant, and that because of the Brackets overlapping panes no optically homogeneous, continuous Window area can be formed.

DE 196 45 802 C1 also shows a louvre window in which the panes in closed state on its top and bottom compared to the neighboring Disk with two rubber seals are sealed against each other so that they are pressure and pressure tight.

Towards the frame, the panes are closed with one on theirs Inside gasket covered, which is attached to the frame. This Louvre window also has swivel brackets that side the panes spread. The seal on the frame is only one-sided against suction sealing, but not against pressure.

The object of the invention is accordingly a facade shell with pivotable To design panes so that an optically homogeneous, continuous Facade surface can be formed, and the swiveling panes on all sides and are sealed against the frame so that they are pressure and pressure resistant.

This object is achieved with a facade shell, which in claim 1 has the specified characteristics.

In the embodiment according to the invention according to claim 1, the plates in each case at least on its upper and / or lower edge on a profile bar extends over the entire length of the edge and in each case on the narrow side Plate is arranged sunk and has a longitudinal groove which is open to the outside. This longitudinal groove offers a good attachment option for a sealing profile or for holding elements for the plate itself and / or for attachments of the plate that with a fastening leg can be inserted and fastened in the longitudinal groove. There the longitudinal groove is continuous, it is in it over its entire length engaging holding elements available, with several holding elements can be arranged one behind the other. Another advantage of the invention Design consists in the fact that the profile strip to a substantial stabilization the contributes to each plate. This is due to the fact that the Profile bar body stabilizes the plate due to its moment of resistance. In addition, the plate is on both sides of the longitudinal groove through the groove walls of the Profile strip against direct pressure and clamping stresses from such Holding elements, such as. B. retaining webs that border in the profile strips, largely optional. This is particularly advantageous for those panels that have double-skin Insulating washer units are formed. Here are the slices through the Profile strip groove walls not only before direct contact with holding bars or the like protected, but the profile strips can by the presence of their Groove walls also absorb a large part of the spreading forces that the washers of the Insulating washer unit to spread what happens when holding elements engage in the Longitudinal grooves cannot be ruled out. Consequently, this is suitable according to the invention Design especially for plates formed by insulating disk units excellent.

In the embodiment according to claim 13 are safety devices for the External washers of the insulating washer units are provided, each by holding bracket are formed which underside the lower edge and / or the upper edge of the outer pane or reach over and behind. This configuration is characterized by special Simplicity, because the bracket is easier and cheaper to manufacture Are construction and also their attachment in a simple manner in the longitudinal groove a profile strip on the narrow edge of the insulating pane unit can be done. There is a correspondingly stable attachment of the bracket, this can be easily and quickly assembled and disassembled if necessary. On Another advantage of the bracket according to the invention is that it is narrower Construction can be carried out and therefore hardly the exposure affect. There can be two off-center on the outer shell or in the side End areas arranged bracket or an approximately centrally arranged and along of the edge of the disc elongated (anti-tip) bracket should be provided.

Especially when the washers of the insulating washer units are made of glass, Avoid touching the panes with hard parts of the bracket To avoid damage to the panes, e.g. B. flaking, especially in Edge region. In addition, hard pressure loads can Insulating washer unit affect the cavity seal, which the Function of the insulating washer unit would be significantly impaired. To do this avoid, are in the known embodiment described above Insulating washer units in their contact area on the brackets Rubber layers stored damped. This leads to the need for additional parts and their attachment, which increases the manufacturing costs and the Manufacturing is more expensive.

In the embodiment according to claim 16, the insulating washer units are each stored between facing ends of retaining webs, each in a Hole in the compound and / or in an embedded in the compound Border profile bar. The holes are spaced from the inner pane and the ends of the retaining webs extend at least at the bottom of the Inner pane to the bottom of the hole designed as a blind hole. This is the Insulated washer unit "cushioned between tips" because the compound as Damping agent is used. The same advantages are also achieved if the ends of the holding webs which are directed towards one another each fit into a hole in surround the composite molding embedded profile strip. Here, the composite mass also used as a damping agent, since the profile strip in the compound is embedded. In this embodiment according to the invention, therefore, no one is required additional damping agents, and it is therefore characterized by special Simplicity and an inexpensive manufacture and assembly.

In such cases where the space behind the facade shell in the If the insulating pane units are to be closed tightly, one is required Sealing the insulating washer units both in the area between one another arranged insulating washer units as well as on their lateral edges, and thus over the entire circumference of a field formed by the insulating disk units. there sealing at the side edges is problematic when the Insulating washer units overlap each other in the closed state, since these Overlap on the inside of the insulating washer units to be sealed step-like surface. To seal this area are already Brush-shaped sealing strands have been proposed, the bristles of which step-shaped surface can follow, but this will make the seal impaired.

In the embodiment according to the invention according to claim 18 are each on the Inside of the insulating washer units in the closed state on their step-shaped inner surface arranged sealing profile sections arranged in The closed state of the insulating washer units is continuously stepped running sealing strand result against the inside of one of the step shape presses corresponding sawtooth-shaped sealing strip. In the case of the invention Design does not bend the sealing profile, but this is pressed together in parallel by the sealing strip, which means that the load is low the sealing profile ensures a good seal.

The invention also relates to a plate according to claim 20 for a Facade shell, whereby the advantages described above are also achieved. Out For the sake of simplicity, these advantages are not described again.

The refinements according to the invention are suitable both for such plates which their movement between the closed and open positions is transverse to the outer shell execute directed swiveling movement as well for such plates that only by Rotate about an axis of rotation in a corresponding pivot bearing between it Closed position and its open position are rotated. With the first Movement by swiveling becomes a small one in the closed position of the plates Overall width achieved, which is generally desirable. When turning the plates one unchangeable axis of rotation requires smaller driving forces because the plates are stationary can remain stored and these bearing forces do not have to be overcome but the plates are just turned.

The facade shell 1 consists of a plurality of plates 2, which are preferably made of glass, z. B. scale glass, and which are arranged in rows one above the other are arranged one behind the other, five according to FIG. 1 and two according to FIG. 2 Rows are available, the associated brackets 3, 4 swivel guides a common drive 5 for at least part of the existing plates in a wall opening mounted on supports of a supporting structure (Fig. 1) or in a support or support frame consisting of vertical and horizontal support parts 6 are integrated. 2, the carrier forms a prefabricated insert element 7, that can be built into an outer wall construction Post / transom facade is built. The vertical posts arranged in a grid 8 and horizontal latch 9 each enclose an installation opening 11 into which Insert element 7 can be used and attached from the outside or the support arrangement is mountable. There can be several such installation openings 11 next to one another and / or be arranged one above the other in which a support arrangement or an insert element 7 is mounted.

The support frame 6 of the insert element 7 consists of two lateral support frame parts 6a, 6b, a lower horizontal support frame part 6c and an upper horizontal Support frame part 6d, each in the corner areas by a Fastening device 10 are firmly connected, preferably by Corner bracket 6e (Fig. 6). In the outer area, the support frame 6 has a circumferential, z. B. from a profile mounting flange 13 on the outer edge of the Installation opening 11 abuts, the horizontal and vertical mounting parts by clamping strips 14 placed against them from the outside against both sides existing posts 8 and optionally also horizontal transoms 9 are screwed.

The plates 2 are also essentially with their add-on parts to be described identical to each other and each consist of a glass plate and according to FIG 2 from a double-shell insulating unit 15 made of glass, the inner pane with 16, Outer pane with 17, a glued spacer frame arranged between them with 18 and a distance 19 between the disks 16, 17 outside the Spacer frame 18 filling and adhesive composite material with 21st is designated. At the upper edge of the respective plate 2, the disks 16, 17 close a height with each other. At the lower edge, the outer pane 17 projects beyond Inner pane 16 downwards, the outer pane 17 of the lower insulation unit 15 overlaps. As a result, the upper insulating unit 15 is in relation to the lower one Isolation unit 15 by the measure of the thickness of the outer pane 17 plus the thickness of a Driving rain seal 22 to be described is arranged offset to the outside. there is located between the lower edge 15a of the upper insulating unit 15 and the upper edge 15b of the lower insulating unit 15 a vertical distance a of z. B. about 15 mm.

In Fig. 1 is an inner shell with a window of the double-shell with 1a Building facade shown, which can be opened and closed, the Plates 2 form the outer shell 16.

The outer circumference of the composite material 21 is at least at the bottom and / or upper edge, preferably all around, a U-shaped in cross section or C-shaped profile strip 23, which delimits an outwardly open groove 24, and in the Composite material 21 is at least partially sunk and embedded. In the Corner areas, the profile bar 23, z. B. mitred and if necessary, be firmly connected to a supporting frame, or it can be on each side a single profile strip 23 may be arranged which abut each other in the corner area. The Groove 24 is preferably undercut, in particular on both sides. In the present Embodiments are towards each other at the free edge of the side walls 24a, 24b projecting webs 24c are provided, through which the undercut is formed. It is for Improving the stability of advantage to arrange the profile bar 23 so that they at least partially also covers the inner pane 16, as a result of which considerably greater strength of the inner pane 16 in comparison with the lower one Strength of the composite material 21, the fastening of the profile strip 23 is stabilized and forces acting on the profile strip 23 to a greater extent via the inner pane 16 can be placed on the insulation unit 15. In the present Embodiment extends from the free edge of the inner pane 16 facing Sidewall 24a perpendicular to the disks 16, 17, a flat profile leg 24d, the bears against the outer edge of the inner pane 16 and at least partially covers it, e.g. B. about half or whole. In the present embodiment, the inner pane 16 formed by a so-called composite disc in the sense of a double disc. to A small web can be further stabilized on the inside of the profile leg 24d 24e may be arranged, which dips into the composite material 21 and thus through additional embedding stabilizes the connection with the composite material 21.

The groove 24 can advantageously be used for positioning and holding a Sealing profile and / or of holding elements for the disks 16, 17, in particular serve for the outer pane 17. To several mounting options or locations To have available, it is advantageous to arrange a profile bar 23, the two has grooves arranged side by side. In the present embodiment, the Bottom wall 24f of the profile strip 23 extends to the outside, and it closes an additional side wall 24g, optionally arranged at an angle, on them, whereby the second groove 25 is formed. This is preferably also on one or both sides undercut, which in the present case is due to an inwardly projecting web 24h is reached on the free edge of the side wall 24g.

The profile strip 23 is of identical design with respect to all insulating units 15, wherein however, in the area of the gap 26 between two superimposed ones Isolation units 15 due to the overlap a horizontal offset between the associated profile strips 23 results.

The mutually identical holders 3 for the plates 2 each comprise at least two arranged in the lateral end regions of plate 2 and plate 2 subordinate swivel bracket or holding arms 27 on which two pairs the lower and upper edge of the plate 2 overlapping and engaging angular or claw-shaped Holding webs 28a, 28b are arranged, of which at least one, here the cross-retaining web 28a, detachably connected to the holding arm 27. The Holding ends of the holding webs 28a, 28b engage behind the inner pane 16 at a distance b, wherein the inside of the profile bar 23 in a receiving hole 29 in Border composite material 21, the z. B. can be milled. If a profile leg 24d is present, the receiving hole 29 also extends through it, whereby it can also be milled out here. For retaining webs 28a, 28b flat cross-sectional shape, such as it is shown, it is advantageous to design the receiving holes 29 accordingly, z. B. in the form of elongated holes. Because of the distance b and the between respective retaining web 28a, 28b and the inner pane 16 existing composite material The latter is protected against the direct attack of the holding webs and is elastic kept damped, which is between the inner pane 16 and the Composite material 21 located in the receiving hole 29 proves to be a damping element.

Preferably also in the vertical, i.e. H. with respect to the transversely arranged Retaining leg 28c, 28d, a damped storage provided. In the present This is achieved in that the depth c of the receiving holes 29 is dimensioned smaller than the associated length of the holding webs 28a, 28b, so that their mutually facing ends at least below against the bottom of the receiving hole 29 bump and thereby also damped the insulating unit 15 as "between peaks" are held and the upper edges of the inner disks 16 a distance d from the Have retaining web legs 28c, 28d. With plates 2 of greater horizontal length can be more than two, each with a horizontal distance from each other Holding arms 27 may be arranged.

The plates 2 are with the swivel device 4 between that shown in Fig. 2 Closed position and the open position shown in Fig. 3 optionally pivotable and lockable in the respective swivel position. The swivel device 4 comprises for each plate 2, a swivel guide, consisting of a first joint 32, the between the upper and inner ends of the holding arm 27 and a slide 33 is arranged, which is in an approximately vertical guide 34 on a vertical support, preferably in the form of a support profile 35, approximately vertically displaceable and can be driven by a drive, not shown in detail. In addition, the Holding arm 27 is pivotally mounted in a second joint 36 in the pivot plane, which pivotally connects the holding arm 27 to a support arm 37 which is on its other end in a third joint 38 in the pivoting plane on Support profile 35 is mounted. The swivel guide for the lower one is also corresponding Plate 2 formed, the first joint 32 according to the difference in height is arranged lower on the associated slide 33 than the first joint 32 of the upper one Plate 2. If more than two plates 2 are arranged one above the other, that is Pivot guide accordingly, the slider 33 being longer. in the the other end region of the plates 2, the swivel guide is designed accordingly, for that slide 33 a second guide 34 on a second support is present, the support brackets 35 preferably evenly or symmetrically are arranged in the area of the existing opening width.

The pivoting device 4 is designed so that the plates 2 when pivoting into the Open position are in front of the outside of the support frame 6. Because with this Design the plates 2 are not in the interior surrounded by the support frame 6 moving inside, the inner and outer shell can be closer together, and the Facade cladding can therefore only have a small overall depth.

If the plates 2 are formed by insulating units 15, it is also advantageous for the outer pane 17 to provide a bracket 3a to the outer pane 17 before Secure from falling if they detach from the bond with the inner pane should. In the present embodiment, there are at least two additional ones lower and / or upper edge of the outer pane 17 under or overlapping and engaging retaining webs 38a, 38b, each in the side End regions of the outer pane 17 are arranged and in a groove of the profile strip 23, here the second groove 25, surround and fastened, preferably by locking by means of a locking lug 39a, 39b which engages behind the web 24h. How best 5, the holding webs 38a, 38b are each on the outer pane 17 arranged below or overlapping holding legs 38c at an angle, wherein they in the lower retaining web 38a with an upwardly extending retaining shaft 38d are U-shaped, at the free end of a foot piece 38e with one of them protruding locking lug 39b is arranged. With the overarching footbridges 38b the latching lug 39a projects transversely from the holding leg 38c. How 3, 6 and 7 in particular are the retaining brackets 40a described so far, 40b arranged in the lateral end regions of the plates 2, being in the plane of Plates 2 are preferably staggered horizontally so that when considering the Size of the gap in the overlap area between the outer disks 17 is not the Double thickness of the bracket 40a, 40b must be taken into account and the gap is small can be held.

For additional or sole securing or fastening of the holding brackets 40a, 40b in The groove 25 can be provided with a screw S which holds the holding web 38c or the foot piece 38e passes through transversely and at least into the preferably made of metal existing profile strip 23 or is screwed into the composite material 21. A such screw S is in Fig. 5 by a center line and a small one Screw head hint clarified.

It is also advantageous to so the legs or portions of the bracket 40a, 40b long to measure that between them and the outer pane 17, at least here between the holding webs 38a, 38b, the holding legs 38c and the holding shafts 38d and the associated outer pane 17 a vertical or horizontal distance is present, which releases the outer pane 17 from pressure loads. First then when the outer pane 17 is released from its bond and into the claw-shaped holding webs 38a falls, there is contact between them Divide. In the normal state needs between the brackets 40a, 40b and Outer washer 17 no contact, since this is only Securing parts.

For an existing facade shell 1, the plates 2 in the closed position behind of the space formed in this way should be as tight as possible different sealing zones essential. A first sealing zone is in each case Gap area between two superposed plates 2 arranged. A second sealing zone is present in the lateral edge area of the plates 2, each after forming the seal in the first or in the second zone different sealing configurations can be realized. In the area of Gap 26, the seal z. B. done by a single sealing profile that extends in the longitudinal direction of the disc edges and on the edge of one of the two Disks is attached or two sealing profiles can also be provided by each of which is attached to the edge of the associated pane and through mutual pressure perform their sealing function.

In the above-described configuration of the plates 2 with a groove 24, which is extends at least on the upper and / or lower edge 15a, 15b of the respective plate 2, had shown that it was ideally suited for sealing a sealing profile hold that a profile section arranged on the sealing profile is inserted into the groove 24 and attached, e.g. B. by gluing, clamping or positive locking. The the last two fastening features mentioned are then not absolutely necessary, if the sealing profile is held in its working position in a different way, z. B. in that it is arranged all around and due to its surrounding in a form-fitting manner in the groove, which is preferably also circumferential as an annular groove 24 is arranged.

For the aforementioned reasons, only one is required to seal the column 26 Sealing profile 41, which in the present embodiment with a flat Cross-section is formed, but could also have a different cross-sectional shape, z. B. a round cross-sectional shape. On the contact side 42 of the sealing profile 41 a fastening strip 43 is formed, which engages in the groove 24 and be locked therein can, preferably with a mushroom-shaped cross-sectional shape. Already so far described sealing profile 41 can alone or with a corresponding, on opposite edge of the other plate arranged sealing profile 41 a bring about satisfactory sealing of the gap 26 if the respective Cross-sectional sizes are dimensioned so large that the individual sealing profile 41 with the opposite edge or two sealing profiles 41 sealing together interact. The sealing can also be effected by a sealing lip 44, which assumes the sealing function in the sense described above. There with one Buildings with pressure or suction effects depending on the wind direction it is advantageous to seal the gap 26 with two sealing lips form, which are arranged one after the other in the passage direction of the gap are and of which a sealing lip 44 with an outward Counter sealing surface 46 and the other sealing lip 44 with an inward facing Counter sealing surface 47 interacts. This improves the seal because the first-mentioned sealing lip 44 presses against the counter-sealing surface 46 sets and brings about a good seal, while the second sealing lip 44 this Sealing creates a suction effect.

It is further advantageous to seal lip 44 on base profile 41a in FIG a distance e from a side surface, here from the first counter-sealing surface 46, to be arranged, which corresponds approximately to the offset v by which the upper and the lower Isolation unit 15 are each offset transversely to the panes. This leads to the advantage that when arranging two identical sealing profiles 41 at the top and bottom in the gap 26 the one sealing lip 44 with the side surface of the opposite Base profile 41a as a pressure seal and the other sealing lip 44 with the opposite base profile 41a and its inward side surface, here the counter sealing surface 47, can function as a suction seal. Because of identity and the reverse arrangement of the sealing profiles 41 can thus be easier and cost-effective way to get an excellent seal with two Achieve sealing functions.

In addition, it is advantageous for the sealing profile 41 and the associated plate 2 to form all-round and thus ring-shaped. This will secure the Sealing profile 41 stabilized on the one hand due to the ring and also in Fixed circumferential direction, so that there are no further measures to secure the Sealing profile 41 required. This also applies to such an existing configuration, which is preferably in the form of a flat or square tube trained base profile 41a on one side or here only at one end with the Fastening strip 43 is connected, while the remaining portion of the base profile 41a abuts the peripheral surface of the associated plate 2. Because of the ring shape guaranteed this facility.

In the present embodiment there is a gap between the two in the gap 26 opposite base profiles 41a there is a small gap, as shown in FIG. 5.

To seal the vertical edge areas of the plates 2 is in both lateral End regions of the facade shell 1 each have a vertical sealing strip 48 (FIGS. 4 to 6) arranged, the outward facing end face the inner surfaces of the one above the other arranged plates 2 and the respective offset sawtooth-shaped is, with its outwardly directed projection predetermined by the sawtooth shape decreases with increasing height. To improve the sealing, it is advantageous the sealing strip 48 to assign an upright sealing tape 49, the runs between it and the plates 2 and improves the seal. In the In the present embodiment, this sealing tape 49 is made up of vertical sections a sealing profile is formed, which is preferably the sealing profile 41 acts, the sections on the inner sides on the narrow-side circumference of the Insulating washer units 15 abut. In this case, the base profile 41a of the Sealing profile 41 angled with one on the narrow side Circumferential surface, preferably flat-tubular sealing leg 41b and one engaging behind the inside of the plate 2 and on the inside adjacent and preferably designed as having its own cavity Sealing leg 41c, which is preferably also tubular, in particular is flat tube-shaped. Due to the ring shape of the sealing profile 41 this results in vertical and horizontal sections of the sealing leg 41c the lateral and horizontal edges of the respective plate 2.

The sealing strip 48 is in the area of the vertical sections one above the other arranged sealing leg 41c arranged, these with the sealing side surfaces 48a of the sealing strip and the section of the Sealing leg 41b cooperates with the sealing step surface 48b. If the associated sealing lip 44 is present, this fits into the vertical chain of the Sealing tape sections, in which case the sealing strip 48 each one the shape of the sealing lip 44 adapted to the shaped sealing surface 48c, here an inclined surface, having.
