Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an exterior wall panel comprising: an inner surface section, made of one single metal sheet and having the width and height of the panel; a top web and a bottom web provided by means of outwardly pointing folds; and a top flange and a bottom flange provided at the edges of the top web and the bottom web by means of downwardly pointing extension folds; as well as a heat insulation that fills the space defined by the inner surface section, the top web and the bottom web.
  • the invention also relates to a wall structure comprising: a load-carrying frame; exterior wall panels of the above described type, attached to the frame and placed one on top of the other, so that the bottom web of an upper exterior wall panel is placed at least partially against the top web of a lower exterior wall panel; and an exterior sheathing plate that is attached to the top flange of the lower exterior wall panel in each case, and to the bottom flange of the upper exterior wall panel in contact with said lower panel.
  • exterior wall panels of the described type there are known several different types of exterior wall panels of the described type, as well as various wall structures built thereof and various building methods.
  • exterior wall panels or caskets of said types there are described known exterior wall panels or caskets of said types, as well as various wall structures built thereof.
  • These exterior wall panels are composed of an inner surface plate with outwardly pointing folds at the edges thereof, as well as of extension folds provided as a continuation of said folds and pointing in the same direction, said extension folds being parallel with the inner surface plate. Consequently, the casing of this panel made of metal sheet is a wide C-profile, and its folding edges in a way form a Z-profile.
  • This metal sheet casing is filled with heat insulation consisting of mineral wool, and said insulation also extends to the exterior of the casing, so that the above mentioned folds and extension folds are completely located inside the heat insulation, in which case between the extension folds and the outer surface of the heat insulation - that forms an exterior surface that faces the inner surface plate of the exterior wall panel - there is arranged an essential distance.
  • the edges of the casing or metal sheet casket, i.e. said folds and extension folds must in the above described manner be left inside the heat insulation, in order to prevent thermal bridges from being created at the locations thereof, and in order to achieve a fairly good heat and sound insulation capacity.
  • the wall structure is composed of said elements by piling exterior wall panels on top of each other, with the fold of the bottom edge of the upper casing against the fold of the top edge of the lower casing, by fastening the panels to the stanchions of the building on the side of the inner surface plate, and by fastening on the side of the outer surface of the heat insulation an exterior wall plate that can be a straight metal sheet or corrugated sheet.
  • the exterior wall plate is in said publications immediately attached to the outer surface of the heat insulation.
  • the exterior wall plate is attached to the extension folds of the casing by means of special screws or other fasteners having a low heat-transfer capacity, at a distance from the extension folds, in which case the fastening screws thus extend from the exterior wall plate through the insulating section located between said plate and the casing extension folds, and further through the extension folds of the upper and lower panel facing each other. Consequently, said fastening screws are the only metal components that extend through the outer layer of the heat insulation.
  • the employed outer surface of the insulation in these structures is often a more rigid, i.e. heavier mineral wool, or an insulation board that is steplessly densing from the inner surface towards the outer surface.
  • thermoperforated profiles are always placed in a vertical position in order to carry at least all loads caused by the wall itself, and possibly also loads caused by other structures placed on top of the wall, and they extend throughout the whole thickness of the wall.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide and exterior wall panel with a metal casing, which wall panel can be used for compiling a wall structure that has excellent rigidity features at least against wind loads, and where the risk that the heat insulation should get wet is minimized, and where any heat insulation that has possibly become wet can also be dried.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a described exterior wall panel and a corresponding wall structure where the employed exterior sheathing plates can be either horizontally or vertically profiled sheet.
  • a third object of the invention is to provide a described exterior wall panel and corresponding wall structure, where the exterior sheathing plates can be attached by fasteners of a regular type, preferably standard type, such as screws.
  • the objects of the invention can be achieved by applying the thermal perforation, used by the applicant in the applicant's thermal profiles, in a new way in the casing of the exterior wall panel, made of metal sheet, and by shaping the metal sheet casing of the exterior wall panel, particularly the flanges of the casing, in a way that is different from the prior art, so that the exterior sheathing plate gets into an immediate contact with the flange or flanges of the metal sheet casing.
  • the thermal perforation used by the applicant in the applicant's thermal profiles, in a new way in the casing of the exterior wall panel, made of metal sheet, and by shaping the metal sheet casing of the exterior wall panel, particularly the flanges of the casing, in a way that is different from the prior art, so that the exterior sheathing plate gets into an immediate contact with the flange or flanges of the metal sheet casing.
  • the casing made of metal sheet and the heat insulation can already at the factory be manufactured as a travel-resistant exterior wall panel, and that there can be employed a soft heat insulation or heat insulation board with a low density, so that the weight of the exterior wall panel can be reduced, and expenses cut.
  • the exterior sheathing plate constituting the façade can be freely designed according to the demands set by the architecture without causing problems in the installation or weakening the strength, rigidity and/or insulation capacity of the structure.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective illustration of a first embodiment of the wall structure according to the invention, where the exterior sheathing plate is made of horizontally profiled material.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective illustration of a second embodiment of the wall structure according to the invention, where the exterior sheathing plate is made of vertically profiled material.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective illustration of a profile shaped by bending and used in the exterior wall panel according to the invention, said profile constituting the loadbearing part of the panel, i.e. the metal casket.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates exterior wall panels according to the invention, placed one on top of the other, seen in a vertical cross-section that is perpendicular to the wall structure, provided with a planar exterior sheathing plate, along the level IV - IV of figures 1 and 2 .
  • Fig. 5 and 6 show the vertical rib employed in the first embodiment of the wall structure and an alternative shape for the top end thereof, seen in an axonometric illustration.
  • the wall structure compiled of exterior wall panels comprises, first of all, a loadbearing frame 30 that is only schematically shown in figures 1 and 2 .
  • the frame 30 consists of pillars, such as vertical reinforced concrete pillars or preferably steel pillars, to which the exterior wall panels 1 constituting the wall proper are attached at least at their ends.
  • Said exterior wall panels 1 can also be attached to the frame pillars in the middle of the length L1 of the panels, or at several different spots along the length of the panels, depending on the total length of the exterior wall panels and on the horizontal distances between the frame pillars.
  • the ends 28 of the exterior wall panels 1 that are arranged in horizontally in succession are in butt contact or almost in butt contact, in a way not illustrated in the drawings, and attached to the pillars forming the frame 30 of the structure or of the building by panel fasteners 29, for instance through the inner surface section 2 of the exterior wall panels, as is schematically illustrated in figures 1 and 2 , by one fastener at the topmost panel.
  • the invention does not relate to said fastening between the exterior wall panel and the frame, which fastening can represent any suitable known or new type, and therefore said fastening is not described in more detail.
  • Each exterior wall panel 1 constitutes a combination of a metal casket 18 - that forms the loadbearing structure in the panel - and of a heat insulation 11 placed inside the metal casket.
  • the metal casket of the panel to be described below surrounds the major part of the heat insulation surface, i.e. the rear and top surface of the insulation, as well as the bottom surface thereof, and also extends to the edge sections of the front surface to the extent that the heat insulation remains inside the metal sheet casket, as is apparent from the drawings.
  • the exterior wall panel 1, and more precisely its metal casket part 18, is made of one single metal sheet 10 by bending of a designed casing, comprising an inner surface section 2, parallel to the main length L1 of the panel - which, when installed in the wall structure is placed in a horizontal position - and to the height H1 - which, when installed in the wall structure is placed in a vertical position - with an outwardly pointing top web 3 and a bottom web 4.
  • the metal casket 18 can easily and advantageously be manufactured of one single metal sheet, such as steel sheet, by suitably bending it, but in principle a corresponding piece can also be manufactured of several sheet elements by welding and/or gluing in addition to possible bending.
  • each exterior wall panel 1 includes a heat insulation 11 that fills the volume defined by the inner surface section and the top and bottom flanges, i.e. the volume of the metal casket.
  • the exterior wall panels 1 of the type described above, more specifically the panels 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d etc. etc., are in a compiled wall structure placed one on top of the other, in the way described above, so that the bottom web 4 of the upper exterior wall panel rests at least partly against the top web 3 of the lower exterior wall panel.
  • the wall structure comprises an exterior sheathing plate or plates 31a, 31b, 31c, that in general are in each case attached to the top flange 6 of the lower exterior wall panel and to the bottom flange 7 of the upper exterior wall panel that is in contact with said lower exterior wall panel, in a way to be described in more detail below.
  • the exterior sheathing plate 31a,31b,31c may be made of a profiled sheet, such as profiled metal sheet, or of a planar sheet, such as straight metal sheet.
  • the profiling of the profiled exterior sheathing plate can be arranged to be essentially horizontal, in which case the plate is a horizontally profiled exterior sheathing plate 31a, or essentially vertical, in which case the plate is a vertically profiled exterior sheathing plate 31b.
  • the horizontally profiled exterior sheathing plate 31a and the vertically profiled exterior sheathing plate 31b can represent similar or different types - their type is not significant from the point of view of the invention, but the significant factor is that when using, a horizontally profiled exterior sheathing plate 31a, i.e. when aligning the profiling of the exterior sheathing completely or nearly horizontally, in the wall structure according to the invention there are employed vertical ribs 25, to be described in more detail below, that are separate from the exterior wall panels, whereas when using a vertically profiled exterior sheathing plate 31b, i.e. when aligning the profiling completely or nearly vertically, said vertical ribs are not needed in the wall structure according to the invention.
  • the exterior wall panel 1 includes a combination of the following features.
  • a thermal perforation 14 consisting of a number of elongate apertures 14 in the lengthwise direction of the webs, so that the apertures located at different spots in the direction of the width of the webs are placed in a mutually interlacing fashion.
  • the thermal perforation 14 is a perforation preventing heat transfer, or rather cold transfer, where the lengths L5 of the apertures 15 are parallel to the length L1 of the panel 1 and of the metal casket 18; they are placed in the webs 3, 4, in parallel, in several rows R1, R2, R3 etc.
  • the length L5 of the apertures 15 is at least five times, preferably ten times the width W5 of said apertures, and typically of the order twenty - thirty times the width W5 of the apertures.
  • the width measures are in each case designed with respect to the required loadbearing capacity, the thermal insulation capacity between the inner surface section 2 of the top flange 6 and the inner surface section 2 of the bottom flange 7, as well as the sound insulation capacity.
  • the total width W4 of the bottom web is larger than the width W3 of the top web, in which case the bottom flange 7 is at least partly located at the distance of the air gap W1 from the plane T that extends in parallel to the inner surface section through the area of the top flange.
  • the exterior sheathing plates 31a, 31b,31c When the exterior sheathing plates 31a, 31b,31c are installed in place, their inner surfaces 32 are in contact with the bottom flanges 7 of the exterior wall panels 1 that are placed one on top of the other, more precisely with the bottom sections 9 of the bottom flanges.
  • the outer surface 12 of the heat insulation is located substantially at said plane T, or in the area of said plane, so that an air gap W 1 is left between said inner surface 32 of the exterior sheathing plates and the outer surface 12 of the heat insulation.
  • the bottom flange 7 of the metal casket 18 also comprises a top section 8 of the bottom flange that is made in the bottom web 4 by means of folding the metal sheet downwardly - i.e. away from the top web 3 - said top section being located on said plane T, as well as an intermediate web 5 that is made by means of an outwardly pointing fold - i.e. a fold pointing away from the inner surface section 2 - the extension of said intermediate web 5 being the bottom section 9 of the bottom flange, which bottom section 9 is thus located at a distance corresponding to said air gap W1 from the top section 8 of the bottom web.
  • the bottom flange 7 thus designed comprises a step formed by the top section 8 and the intermediate web 5 between the bottom web 4 and the outermost part of the bottom flange, i.e. the bottom section thereof.
  • the intermediate web 5 is parallel with the major width W4 of the bottom web 4
  • the top section 8 is preferably, although not necessarily, parallel with the inner surface section 2.
  • the metal casket of the exterior wall panel 1 also includes, as an extension of the bottom flange 7 and/or of the top flange 6 folds 17, 16 pointing towards the inner surface section, in which case the rigidity of the metal casket and consequently the rigidity of the exterior wall panel are further improved.
  • the top web 3 and the bottom web 4 of the metal casket 18 are also provided with groove sections 23, 24 that indent towards each other and are parallel to the web lengths, i.e. to the length L1 of the exterior wall panel, and said thermal perforation 14 is located within the width W23, W24 of said groove sections.
  • the widths W23, W24 of the groove sections are smaller than the widths W3, W4 of the webs, in which case the edges of the webs 3, 4 are provided with planar edge strips 33a, 33b and 34a, 34b.
  • edge strips 34a and 34b of the bottom web 4 of the upper panel 1 are set against the edge strips 33a and 33b of the top web 3 of the lower panel 1, as is seen in figure 4 .
  • edge strips 33a, 33b, 34a, 34b are in a perpendicular position towards the inner surface section 2.

  • the intermediate web 5 of the bottom flange 7 is provided with a number of apertures 20 that are arranged at equal distances L2 in a row parallel to the width length, for fastening possible vertical ribs 25 and for allowing air to circulate in the air gap.
  • the apertures 20 have a diameter D2.
  • Both the top web 3 and the bottom web 4 are provided, at least at their ends where the exterior wall panels 1 are attached by panel fasteners 29 to the building frame 30, with length sections La that do not have thermal perforation. Said non-perforated length sections La add to the rigidity and strength of the panel. In case the total lengths L1 of the exterior wall panel are very large, so that they must be attached, not only at the ends but also at some place or places inside their length to the building frame, it is possible to leave non-perforated length sections (not illustrated) also at these future fastening spots.
  • windbreaker film 13 made of a microporous material that is impermeable to water but permeable to aqueous vapor.
  • the common name for said layer is indeed windbreaker film, although one of its most important roles is to prevent water from being absorbed in the insulation.
  • windbreaker film 13 constitute a laminate of a microporous plastic film that can be bought for example under the trademark "Goretex” and glass fiber net; this type of laminate is available at least under the trademark "Tyvek”. It is naturally possible to use any other film or thin sheet material that has corresponding features, i.e.

  • the described mineral and glass wools are also effective sound insulation materials, and they have excellent fire resistance.
  • foam polymers such as polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam or phenol resin foam, but among these, the fire resistance of particularly the first two polymers is poor.
  • heat insulations 11 made of polymers, i.e. plastics it is pointed out that when heat insulation is made of so-called closed cell plastic, the windbreaker film is not needed, because an insulation of the described type does not absorb water.
  • a wall structure according to the invention can be completely compiled of the above described exterior wall panels 1 and exterior sheathing plates, when the employed exterior sheathing that is susceptible to weather is a vertically profiled exterior sheathing plate 31b, or straight exterior sheathing plate 31c. If the employed exterior sheathing plate that is susceptible to weather is horizontally profiled exterior sheathing plate 31a, it is necessary to provide the wall structure with vertical ribs 25 to be described below. None prevents from using said vertical ribs 25 also in cases where the employed exterior sheathing is straight or vertically profiled exterior sheathing plate, but in these cases vertical ribs do not add any particular advantage to the structure.
  • the vertical ribs 25 are made of metal profile, such as metal sheet profile.

  • the exterior wall panels 1 are attached to the building frame by a suitable number of panel fasteners 29 that penetrate into the frame only through the inner surface sections 2. Consequently, said panel fasteners need not and must not extend through the whole exterior wall panel, because that would weaken the strength and rigidity of the structure.
  • the fastening of the panel fasteners 29 is easy, because the heat insulation 11 made of soft mineral or glass wool can in the region of the panel ends 28 be pressed somewhat aside, so that there is created a space - not illustrated - through which the fastening can be carried out directly at the inner surface section 2.
  • the soft heat insulation 11 is then returned back to its original shape, and there are not left any gaps in between the adjacent exterior wall panels that are end by end in mutual butt contact; as for insulation, the obtained result is compact.

  • the exterior sheathing plates 31a, 31b, 31c are, at their inner surface 32, in local contact with at least the bottom flanges 7 of the exterior wall panels 1 stacked one on top of the other, or preferably with their bottom sections, and at least the horizontally profiled exterior sheathing plates 31a are also supported against the vertical ribs 25.
  • the exterior sheathing plate 31a, 31b, 31c is connected, by said panel fasteners 40, through the top flange 6 of the lower exterior wall panels and through the top section 8 of the bottom flange of the upper exterior wall panels, and through possible vertical ribs 25, said panels being in mutual contact.
  • top ends 26 of the vertical ribs 25 placed at the topmost exterior wall panel 1 in the wall structure are attached in similar fashion as the top ends of all other vertical ribs.
  • a horizontal profile 42 constituting a planar web 3* and a top section 8, proceeding in a stepwise manner described above from said planar web 3*, and an intermediate web 5 and a bottom section 9 provided as an extension thereof, as well as a possible fold 17.
  • the shape of the horizontal profile 42 in cross-section is exactly similar as the bottom web and bottom flange of the metal casket 18 are in the section that points away from the plane T and from the inner surface section 2.
  • the intermediate web 5 of the horizontal profile 42 is provided with apertures 20, the distances L2 and diameters D2 of which are equal to those provided in the intermediate webs of the exterior wall panels.
  • the horizontal profile 42 is attached to the topmost exterior wall panel, so that its planar web 3* is set against the top web 3 of the panel, more precisely against the planar edge strip 33b thereof, and the top section 8 of the horizontal profile is set in surface contact with the top flange 6 of the exterior wall panel, exactly like between the exterior wall panels that are placed one on top of the other.
  • the horizontal profile 42 can be attached to the exterior wall panel by fasteners that penetrate the top web 3 of said exterior wall panel and the planar web 3* of the horizontal profile, said fasteners being for instance self-drilling screws, pop rivets or the like.
