Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fassade mit einem Verbindungselement zum Schließen von Dichtungsstößen. Insbesondere handelt es sich um ein Verbindungselement, welches zum Schließen der Dichtungen einen dichtungsfreien Zwischenraum überspannt und durch Überlappungsbereiche an den Enden der aneinanderstoßenden Dichtungen verbunden ist.The invention relates to a facade with a connecting element for closing of sealing joints. In particular, it is a connecting element, which spans a seal-free gap for closing the seals and is connected by overlapping areas at the ends of the abutting seals.

Aus Gründen einfacherer Handhabung und Montierbarkeit sind diese Dichtungen, welche sich entlang der Pfosten- bzw. Riegelelementen erstrecken, mehrteilig ausgeführt. Mit anderen Worten heißt das, dass es nicht üblich ist, die gesamte Fassade mit einem fortlaufenden Dichtungsstrang zu versehen. Folglich treten an den Endbereichen der jeweiligen Dichtungsprofile Stöße zwischen den Dichtungen auf. Diese Stöße bilden somit einen dichtungsfreien Zwischenraum aus, welcher sich nachteilig auf die Dämmeigenschaften der Fassade auswirken.For reasons of easier handling and mounting these seals, which extend along the mullion or locking elements, made of several parts. In other words, this means that it is not customary to provide the entire facade with a continuous sealing strip. As a result, impacts between the seals occur at the end portions of the respective sealing profiles. These shocks thus form a seal-free gap, which adversely affect the insulation properties of the facade.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es bekannt, obengenannte dichtungsfreie Zwischenräume unter Verwendung von Silikon oder ähnlichen Klebstoffen zu versiegeln. Bei dieser Lösung stellt sich allerdings das Problem der Dehnung bzw. Kontraktion der Trägerkonstruktion bzw. der Dichtungsprofile in Folge von Temperaturänderung. Die Dehnung bzw. Kontraktion in Folge von Temperaturänderungen kann an verschiedenen Stellen der Fassade unterschiedlich stark ausgeprägt sein, da der Temperatureinfluss nicht an allen Stellen der Fassade gleich groß ist. Solche Temperaturdifferenzen können beispielsweise durch unterschiedliche Bestrahlung an sonnigen Tagen (Schattenwurf durch andere Gebäude) entstehen. Ferner ist es denkbar, dass auch die Fassadenelemente aus unterschiedlichen Werkstoffen gebildet sind, wodurch sich - wie oben angedeutet - Verspannungen in der Fassadenkonstruktion ergeben können. Diese Verspannungen sind häufig ein Grund dafür, dass die geklebten Verbindungen in den dichtungsfreien Zwischenräumen beschädigt werden und somit ihre Dichtwirkung verlieren. Dessen ungeachtet ist es ferner nur sehr schwer möglich, unter Verwendung von Silikon oder Klebstoffen eine wasserdichte Versiegelung besagter Zwischenräume zu erreichen.From the prior art it is known to seal the above seal-free spaces using silicone or similar adhesives. In this solution, however, raises the problem of elongation or contraction of the support structure or the sealing profiles as a result of temperature change. The expansion or contraction as a result of temperature changes can be different pronounced at different points of the facade, since the temperature influence is not the same size at all points of the facade. Such temperature differences can arise, for example, by different irradiation on sunny days (shadows cast by other buildings). Furthermore, it is conceivable that the facade elements are formed of different materials, which - as indicated above - can result in tension in the facade construction. These tensions are often a reason that the bonded joints are damaged in the seal-free spaces and thus lose their sealing effect. Nevertheless, it is also very difficult, using silicone or Adhesives to achieve a watertight seal of said spaces.
Ausgehend von der oben genannten Problemstellung liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Fassade mit einem Verbindungselement zum Schließen von Dichtungsstößen anzugeben, wobei das Verbindungselement eine ausreichende Stabilität aufweist, um Verspannungen in der Trägerkonstruktion bzw. den Dichtungsprofilen auszugleichen, und eine wind- und wasserdichte Verbindungsmöglichkeit zwischen den Dichtungsprofilen bereitstellt. Ferner soll das Verbindungselement günstig herstellbar und in einfacher Weise an gängigen Fassadenkonstruktionen anbringbar sein.Based on the above-mentioned problem, the present invention seeks to provide a facade with a connecting element for closing of sealing joints, wherein the connecting element has sufficient stability to compensate for tension in the support structure and the sealing profiles, and a wind and waterproof Providing connection possibility between the sealing profiles. Furthermore, the connecting element should be inexpensive to produce and easily attachable to common facade designs.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Fassade nach Patentanspruch 1 sowie durch eine Verwendung nach Patentanspruch 7 gelöst. Demnach handelt es sich bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung um eine Fassade mit einem Verbindungselement zum Schließen von Dichtungsstößen, wobei die Fassade Dichtungen aufweist, welche an Trägerkonstruktionen der Fassade, zwischen einzelnen Fassadenelementen angebracht sind; sowie um eine Verwendung eines solchen Verbindungselements in einer derartigen Fassade. Dabei sind die Dichtungen, wie oben bereits erwähnt, mehrteilig als Teilstränge ausgeführt und bilden einen dichtungsfreien Zwischenraum an ihren Stößen aus. Das Verbindungselement zum Schließen des Dichtungsstoßes ist dazu ausgelegt den dichtungsfreien Zwischenraum zu überspannen und ist durch Überlappungsbereiche mit den Enden der stoßenden Teilstränge verbunden.This object is achieved by a facade according to
So ist in einer Realisierung des Verbindungselements zum Schließen von Dichtungsstößen vorgesehen, dass das Verbindungselement einen festen Kern sowie damit verbundene elastische Bereiche aufweist. Die Kombination aus einem festen Kern und den damit verbundenen elastischen Bereichen definiert ein Verbindungselement, welches stabil genug ist, um möglicherweise auftretende Verspannungen aufzunehmen und gleichzeitig, aufgrund der elastischen Bereiche, an das Fassadenprofil anpassbar ist, um größtmögliche Dämmeigenschaften zu erzielen. Ein solches Trägerelement hat darüber hinaus eine stabilisierende Wirkung auf die Fassadenkonstruktion, was sich beispielsweise als vorteilhaft bezüglich der auf die Fassade auftreffenden Windstöße herausstellt. Es ist dabei denkbar den festen Kern aus hartem PVC zu bilden, wobei die damit verbundenen elastischen Bereiche aus koextrudiertem weichem PVC bestehen. Selbstverständlich ist es auch denkbar, den die beiden Bereiche des Verbindungselements aus demselben Material auszubilden, um das Verbindungselement bspw. besser auf die Form der betreffenden Dichtungen/Trägerkonstruktionen anzupassen. Die elastischen Bereiche des Verbindungselements sind zumindest teilweise als Verankerungsbereiche ausgebildet, um eine Fixierung des Verbindungselementes an der Trägerkonstruktion zu ermöglichen. Durch die Implementierung von Verankerungsbereichen am Verbindungselement, kann dieses sicher an der Trägerkonstruktion befestigt werden und garantiert damit bestmögliche Dämmeigenschaften. Selbstverständlich erleichtern diese Verankerungsbereiche außerdem das Einbringen und die Positionierung des Verbindungselementes im dichtungsfreien Zwischenraum der Fassade.Thus, in a realization of the connecting element for closing sealing joints, provision is made for the connecting element to have a fixed core and elastic regions connected thereto. The combination of a solid core and the associated elastic regions defines a connecting element which is strong enough to absorb any stresses that may occur and, at the same time, due to the elastic regions, be adaptable to the facade profile in order to achieve the greatest possible insulating properties. Such a support element also has a stabilizing effect on the facade construction, which, for example, turns out to be advantageous in terms of impact on the facade gusts. It is conceivable to form the solid core of hard PVC, wherein the associated elastic regions consist of coextruded soft PVC. Of course It is also conceivable that the two areas of the connecting element of the same material form, for example, to better adapt the connecting element to the shape of the relevant seals / support structures. The elastic regions of the connecting element are at least partially designed as anchoring areas in order to enable a fixation of the connecting element to the support structure. By implementing anchoring areas on the connecting element, it can be securely fastened to the support structure, thus guaranteeing the best possible insulation properties. Of course, these anchoring areas also facilitate the introduction and positioning of the connecting element in the seal-free space of the facade.
Die Verankerungsbereiche weisen nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung eine Breite auf, welche der Breite des Dichtungsfreien Zwischenraumes an den Dichtungsstößen der Teilstränge entspricht. Die Breite des dichtungsfreien Zwischenraumes beträgt typischerweise ca. 50 mm, weshalb durch eine entsprechende Anpassung der Verankerungsbereiche die Anbringung des Verbindungselements weiter vereinfacht wird. Es ist damit möglich, das Verbindungselement direkt an die Teilstränge der Dichtungen anzubringen, ohne dieses vorher zuschneiden zu müssen.According to an advantageous development, the anchoring areas have a width which corresponds to the width of the seal-free intermediate space at the sealing joints of the partial strands. The width of the seal-free gap is typically about 50 mm, which is why the attachment of the connecting element is further simplified by a corresponding adjustment of the anchoring areas. It is thus possible to attach the connecting element directly to the sub-strands of the seals, without having to cut this before.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform des Verbindungselements bilden die elastischen Bereiche zumindest ein erstes Dichtungselement aus, wobei das erste Dichtungselement dazu ausgelegt ist eine Dichtungsverbindung mit einem ersten Dichtungsstrang der Trägerkonstruktion einzugehen. Das erste Dichtungselement ist vorzugsweise auf die Form des ersten Dichtungsstrangs der Trägerkonstruktion angepasst. Folglich entsteht eine Dichtungsverbindung zwischen dem ersten Dichtungsstrang der Trägerkonstruktion und dem ersten Dichtungselements, welche das Eindringen von Wasser in den Innenraum der Trägerkonstruktion wirkungsvoll verhindert.According to a further embodiment of the connecting element, the elastic regions form at least one first sealing element, wherein the first sealing element is designed to enter into a sealing connection with a first sealing strand of the carrier structure. The first sealing element is preferably adapted to the shape of the first sealing strip of the support structure. Consequently, a sealing connection between the first sealing strip of the support structure and the first sealing element, which effectively prevents the penetration of water into the interior of the support structure.
Das erste Dichtungselement kann dabei, gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung, einen im Wesentlichen elliptischen Querschnitt aufweisen. Ein elliptischer Querschnitt gewährleistet eine verbesserte Verformbarkeit des ersten Dichtungselements, wodurch dieses auf eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Dichtungssträngen anpassbar ist und eine lückenlose Dichtungsverbindung mit letzteren gewährleistet.The first sealing element may, according to a further aspect of the invention, have a substantially elliptical cross section. An elliptical cross-section ensures an improved deformability of the first sealing element, whereby it is adapted to a plurality of different sealing strands is customizable and ensures a complete seal with the latter.
Nach einer weiteren Realisierung bilden die elastischen Bereiche zumindest ein zweites Dichtungselement aus, wobei das zweite Dichtungselement dazu ausgelegt ist eine Dichtungsverbindung mit einem innenseitigen Profil der Trägerkonstruktion einzugehen. Wie mit Bezug auf die Figuren näher erläutert werden wird, weisen bekannte Trägerkonstruktionen innenseitige Profile auf, welche über sogenannte Isolierstege mit außenseitigen Profilen verbunden sind. Durch das zweite Dichtungselement kann eine luftdichte Dichtungsverbindung zwischen dem Verbindungselement und dem innenseitigen Profil der Trägerkonstruktion erreicht werden, was dementsprechend zur Verbesserung der thermischen Eigenschaften der Trägerkonstruktion mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verbindungselement führt. Ebenfalls dient das zweite Dichtungselement dazu, das erfindungsgemäße Verbindungselement sicher an der Trägerkonstruktion zu befestigen.According to a further realization, the elastic regions form at least one second sealing element, wherein the second sealing element is designed to enter into a sealing connection with an inside profile of the carrier structure. As will be explained in more detail with reference to the figures, known support structures on the inside profiles, which are connected via so-called insulating webs with outside profiles. By the second sealing element, an airtight sealing connection between the connecting element and the inside profile of the support structure can be achieved, which accordingly leads to the improvement of the thermal properties of the support structure with the connecting element according to the invention. Likewise, the second sealing element serves to secure the connecting element according to the invention securely to the support structure.
Das zweite Dichtungselement kann vorzugsweise aus mehreren Schichten besteht. Insbesondere kann es sich bei diesen Schichten um dünne Schichten aus weichem PVC-Material handeln. Die Schichten sind in vorteilhafter Weise derart ausgebildet, sodass das zweite Dichtungselement eine gewellte Oberfläche aufweist, wodurch das erfindungsgemäße Verbindungselement verrutschfest an dem innenseitigen Profil der Trägerkonstruktion befestigt werden kann. Mit anderen Worten bildet das zweite Dichtungselement vorzugsweise eine Vielzahl an Widerhaken aus, welche durch die Kanten der einzelnen Schichten ausgebildet werden.The second sealing element may preferably consist of several layers. In particular, these layers may be thin layers of soft PVC material. The layers are advantageously designed such that the second sealing element has a corrugated surface, whereby the connecting element according to the invention can be secured against slipping on the inside profile of the support structure. In other words, the second sealing element preferably forms a plurality of barbs which are formed by the edges of the individual layers.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieser dichtungsfreie Zwischenraum 3 von einem Verbindungselement 100 geschlossen. Dieses Verbindungselement 100 überspannt den gesamten dichtungsfreien Zwischenraum 3 und weist Überlappungsbereiche 101, 101' auf, über welche es mit den angrenzenden Teilsträngen 2,2' der Dichtung der Fassade verbunden ist.According to the invention, this seal-free

Der Kern 102 des Verbindungselements 100 ist in vorteilhafter Weise aus einem festen Material gebildet. Das Material des Kerns 102 verleiht dem Verbindungselement 100 eine stabile Struktur, welche ausreicht, um möglicherweise auftretende Verspannungen innerhalb der Trägerkonstruktion 1 bzw. den Teilsträngen 2, 2' der Dichtung aufnehmen zu können.The
Auf der Oberseite sowie der Unterseite des Verbindungselements 100 sind ferner elastische Bereiche 103, 104, 105 vorgesehen, welche mit dem festen Kern 102 verbunden sind. Diese möglichst luftdichte Verbindung kann beispielsweise durch Koextrusion, Kleben oder ähnliche Verfahren erfolgen. Die elastischen Bereiche 103, 104, 105 dienen dazu, das Verbindungselement 100 möglichst luftdicht mit der Trägerkonstruktion 1 zu verbinden. Beispielsweise kann der feste Kern 102 aus hartem PVC gefertigt sein, während der elastische Bereich 103 eine koextrudierte Schicht aus weichem PVC darstellt. Die Erfindung ist jedoch nicht hierauf beschränkt, vielmehr kann der feste Kern 102 auch in gewisser Weise elastisch sein. Es ist dabei von Vorteil den festen Kern 102 mit einer höheren Formstabilität auszubilden, als es für die elastischen Bereiche 103, 104, 105 der Fall ist, da sich der feste Kern 102 nur im geringen Maße an die Geometrie der Trägerkonstruktion 1 anpassen muss.On the upper side and the lower side of the connecting

Von Vorteil ist es auch, wenn die elastischen Bereiche 103, 104, 105 zumindest ein zweites Dichtungselement 105 ausbilden. Das zweite Dichtungselement 105 ist in vorteilhafter Weise dazu ausgelegt, eine Dichtungsverbindung mit dem innenseitigen Profil 7 der Trägerkonstruktion 1 einzugehen. Durch das zweite Dichtungselement 105 kann eine luftdichte Dichtungsverbindung zwischen dem Verbindungselement 100 und dem innenseitigen Profil 7 der Trägerkonstruktion 1 erreicht werden, was dementsprechend zur Verbesserung der thermischen Eigenschaften der Trägerkonstruktion 1 mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verbindungselement 100 führt. Wie es vor allem anhand
Insbesondere ist das zweite Dichtungselement 105 dazu vorzugsweise aus mehreren aufeinander gestapelten Schichten gebildet. Es kann sich bei diesen Schichten um dünne Schichten aus weichem PVC-Material handeln. Die Schichten sind in vorteilhafter Weise derart ausgebildet, dass das zweite Dichtungselement 105 eine gewellte Oberfläche (vgl.
