Definitions

  • the invention such as the title of the present specification states, relates to an external finishing panel for ventilated facades with pleated system and improved assembly.
  • the object of the invention focuses on a metallic panel, both single sheet and composite-type sheet, of the type applicable as external finishing to ventilated facades, which has the peculiarity of being provided with an innovative "Z"-pleated system for its sides providing outstanding advantages, when performing the assembly thereof, compared to the systems currently known in the market for the same purpose.
  • the application field of the present invention is within the construction sector. Namely, within the construction of buildings with ventilated facade.
  • the system with ventilated facade consists of a facade (outer envelope of a building) with an air chamber between the different layers of materials making it up, which further has the characteristic of being ventilated. That is, it includes openings, usually in the bottom of the facade and at the top, which generate a ventilation circuit that significantly improves the heat and tightness conditions of the facade. It also provides combinations of designs and materials other than those used in traditional facades.
  • the key elements forming a ventilated facade are two:
  • the completion and finishing materials i.e., the external material of the building used for this type of facades is often mainly of three types:
  • fastening systems have a very similar structure. These are vertical or horizontal profiles, usually metallic (aluminum or steel) that are fasten to the base facade of the building, or either to the structural elements thereof (columns, beams, framings). The exact mapping of the facade explicitly depends of this part of the construction process. From there, the variation of each system depends on how the material is fastening to said profiles. Two fastening systems of the panel to the profile can be commonly found:
  • the combination of composite type metallic sheets with a fastening system based on mechanical elements is one of the most common in ventilated facades. Generally, it consists of panels that are machined, milled, and pleated forming a tray; which sides of said tray are used to locate the machinings used to hang the system, allowing the front of the building's facade offers only the cutting up of the used material, without seen the fastening elements thereof.
  • the position of the tray, with this hanging system must necessarily be horizontal, because, basically, the trays are hanging elements with possible horizontal displacement, which does not allow tilted design cuttings on the facade.
  • the vertical section of the trays forms an "L" on top thereof and a "U” or inverted “L” at the bottom, so that each overlaps the next, assembling the top one on the lower one and preventing the entry of water into the inner chamber of the facade.
  • the disadvantage of this system is that the replacement due to a failure, defect or damage of one of the panels necessarily involves the disassembly of all panels that are vertically above from that to be replaced.
  • the facades that employ this type of materials are commonly called “self-cleaning", because the extremely smooth surface prevents the settling of dust and pollution thereon, and the rain itself is able of eliminating the few remains that might be adhered thereto.
  • self-cleaning because the extremely smooth surface prevents the settling of dust and pollution thereon, and the rain itself is able of eliminating the few remains that might be adhered thereto.
  • the shape of the trays, with their horizontal joint offers a small shelf wherein environmental pollution is easily deposited, which is dragged and trampled by the facade when rainfall occurs, causing the opposite effect to that originally designed, this being one of the biggest aesthetic handicaps so are the economic ones, since this raise the cost of building maintenance, given the high complexity of the cleaning systems to be used.
  • the external finishing panel for ventilated facades with pleated assembly and improved system proposed by the invention is configured as a remarkable improvement over the systems currently known in the market, since according to its implementation reaching the objectives above described as appropriate can be accomplished in an exhaustive manner, with the characterizing and distinguishing details that make it possible being appropriately reflected in the final claims accompanying the present specification.
  • said pleated plate system differs from the one used so far. It consists of using a "Z" shaped pleat at the edge of the panel, obtaining a panel symmetrical in both vertical and horizontal axes. Said folding method allows the dust and pollution, accumulated on the tray shelf to be dragged inward when rainfalls occur, and from there the water is drained, by the gravity effect itself, towards the tray sides, from which runs along the vertical joint to the bottom end of the facade, continually dragging the dirt through not visible zones thereof, until its total evacuation.
  • this form of the edge of the tray causes the appearance of a small plate surface, parallel to the fastening profile, so there is no longer to depend on auxiliary elements for assembly, such as clips or bolts, but a direct screwing can be made in the fastening profile, with the possibility of screwing around the entire perimeter of the plate, thus greatly facilitating the fastening system and the possible variation of the layout of the fixing profiles.
  • the Z-shaped pleat can be only applied at the top and bottom of the panel, keeping the pleat in an "L"-shape on the sides thereof; so that the existing fastening and hanging systems can be still used, but introducing a modification in the panel design that ensures the characteristic of "self-cleaning" facade.
  • the panel may have a pleat with a slight side inclination on the tray shelf, so that rainwater entering therein is more easily evacuated.
  • the panel may have water drainage holes in the horizontal shelf, which in no case will affect the tightness of the facade, and which will serve for blocking the minimum accumulation of water.
  • the new panel prevents accumulated dirt from being dragged on the facade joints towards the outside thereof. Evacuate the water of the joint and therefore the pollution towards the interior channels of the facade, eliminating any possibility of appearance of remains in the facade.
  • tray element with a symmetric shape, having the same pleat at top and bottom joint, allows greater convenience in storage and on-site installation, as its position is as equally as valid and rotated 180°, which is a great advantage, especially considering that the placement of the panels is usually performed on lift trucks with limited space for maneuverability and high occupational risk conditions.
  • Screws are only used for the fastening, without depending on special features such as clips or bolts, which, in addition to lower the cost of the overall system, ensures an easier assembly.
  • the horizontal joint causes a large drop effect much more effective than existing systems, because the water after slipping along the panel cannot go up through the bottom pleat thereof and therefore keeps slipping until completing its route on the facade. This does not occur in existing systems, since the lower edge is horizontal, and therefore causes the entry of a greater amount of water to the groove.
  • the joint parallel to the profile is much more waterproof than existing systems, since the fastening profile is completely overlapped.
  • the described external finishing panel for ventilated facades with pleated system and improved assembly thus represents an innovative structure with constituent and constructive features previously unknown for this purpose, which reasons linked to its practical usefulness, provide it sufficient grounds for obtaining the exclusive privilege that is requested.
  • FIG. 5 Shows a detail enlargement of the joint between two panels according to the invention, showing their relative positioning as well as the fastening way to the fixing profile.
  • Figures 6 , 7 and 8 Show three examples for placing the panels, according to the invention, these being respectively represented with the horizontal and vertical aligned joints, with the locknuts joints and with the joints vertically inclined from the horizontal plane.
  • the panel in question is a metallic laminar body (1) with rectangular planar configuration, which can be of single or composite type, i.e. formed by two metallic sheets with an inner sheet made of a plastic material such as PVC, sides of which, both top, bottom and sides are folded towards one side forming a tray (2), having the peculiarity that the pleat of said sides consists of a "Z"-shaped fold or pleat
  • said "Z"-shaped pleat determined from some folding lines, an inner one (3) and outer one (4), parallel to the edge (5) of the mentioned body (2), results in corresponding middle (6) and outer (7) zones, as shown in Figure 2 , which, after folding the lines (3) and (4) are oblique and parallel, respectively, to the plane of the central body of the tray (2), as well as to the facade, once placed the panel.
  • the lateral sides of the tray (2) may have a simple fold shaped as an "L” formed from a single inner folding line (3), being in such a case, only "Z"-shaped on the bottom and top edges of the tray (2), such as shown in Figure 3 .
  • the outer folding line (4) may have a slight deviation from the interior folding line (3) and the edge (5) of the body (2) such as shown in Figure 4 , purpose of which is to provide certain inclination to the "Z"-shaped pleat on the edge of the tray (2) in order to facilitate the slipping to one side or another of the water that may be accumulated thereon.
  • the invention contemplates the creation of drain holes (10) next to the folding lines (3) and (4) of the "Z"-shaped pleat of the tray (2) in order to prevent its excessive accumulation.
