Description

The invention relates to a profile arrangement with at least one first frame part and at least one second frame part and an insulating insert inserted in an intermediate space between the first and the second frame part.

The document shows a profile arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1 and relates to a thermally insulated composite profile for frames, in particular for windows, doors, facades and the like, which has at least two preferably made of metal profile shells, which arranged at least one between the profile shells and connected with its designed as a terminal strip longitudinal edges of the profile shells insulating web connected together and are held at a distance from each other. In which approximately by the width of the insulating web resulting central region of the frame one or more, extending in the plane of the frame sealing elements are provided which are fixedly arranged on the one hand on the frame and on the other hand sealingly with their projecting sealing surface to form a dividing the central region dividing plane abut other frame parts or infill elements of the frame.

Accordingly, thermally insulated profile arrangements, for example, for window or door frames are generally known from the art, which have a first frame part and a second frame part, wherein between this first frame part and the second frame part, a gap is formed, in which an insulator insert is used from a suitable insulating material , While the Frame parts, which are composed for example of profile shells out a light metal as usually aluminum are formed, they have the substantial prevention of unwanted heat transfer due to heat conduction via so-called insulating webs of a plastic material, with which the respective profile half-shells are connected. Here, therefore, on one and the same frame part, which is composed of light metal profile half-shells, provided in Isolierstegbereich a Isoliersteg space, for which it is known to largely fill this by means of a suitable sealing insert, so that in addition to the substantial prevention of unwanted heat transfer due to Heat conduction and heat transfer due to convection can be reduced.

If now several of these frame parts arranged in a certain positional relationship to each other, as is the case in particular with sliding or swing-wing frame, so while the Isoliersteg spaces are designed such that an undesirable heat transfer is largely avoided; between the individual frame parts, which in turn are composed of profile half-shells, but then a further space is formed, which is to ensure freedom of movement of the frame parts relative to each other, especially if certain areas of a frame part due to the displacement and / or pivoting in to be moved in this space.

Since this flexibility as a result of the displacement and / or pivoting for the respective displacement and / or pivoting is essential results in conventional profile arrangements with at least a first frame part and at least a second frame part, wherein the first frame part relative to the second frame part in at least one axial direction slidably and / or about at least one pivot point is rotatable or pivotable, wherein between the first frame part and the second frame part, a gap is formed, due to a displacement and / or pivoting of the first frame part relative to the second frame part in its volume and / or its Limiting cross-section is variable, the disadvantage that this relatively large gap to the unwanted heat transfer between the frame parts on the one hand, but also between the respective outer and the respective inner side of an affected frame part in itself in a negative way at wearing.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a profile arrangement described above with at least one first frame part and at least one second frame part which are displaceable relative to each other in at least one axial direction and / or rotatable or pivotable about at least one pivot point, that the thermal insulation is improved ,
This object is achieved by the subject matter of independent claim 1, wherein advantageous developments of the profile arrangement according to the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
Accordingly, in particular a profile arrangement is provided with at least one first frame part and at least one second frame part, wherein the first frame part relative to the second frame member in at least one axial direction and / or rotatable about at least one pivot point, wherein between the first frame part and the the second frame part, a gap is formed, which is variable due to a displacement and / or pivoting of the first frame part relative to the second frame part in its volume and / or its limiting cross-section, wherein a two-piece insulating insert is arranged in the intermediate space, wherein during the displacement and / or Pivoting a first part of the insulator insert on a second part of the insulating insert is movable along such that a heat transfer between the first frame part and the second frame part is reduced.
The term "frame part" used here refers in particular to the sash of a door or window profile; This means that, for example, the first frame part is provided fixed and the second frame part forms a sash which is displaceable and / or pivotable relative to the first frame part. However, it is also conceivable that none of the frame parts is provided as a stationary part. Essential here is only that the two frame parts are movable relative to each other so that the resulting gap in its boundary cross-section and / or its volume is variable.
By the term "limiting cross-section" in this case is meant in the vertical section through the intermediate space that cross-sectional area which the intermediate space defined inside and limited by suitable limitations such as profile walls of the profiles of the respective frame parts.
The achievable with the inventive solution advantages are obvious. Characterized in that the insulating insert is formed in two parts, a great deal of flexibility in terms of the required for pivoting and / or moving the frame parts relative to each other free space is ensured. At the same time, even if the volume and / or the boundary cross section of the intermediate space changes or changes as a result of the displacement and / or pivoting, it is ensured that the heat transfer between the first frame part and the second frame part, but also optionally along the respective frame part itself, is diminished. In this case, it is possible to arrange the same insulator insert type, ie the same multi-part insulating insert, in each case in intermediate spaces which cover a different range of interspace volumes or interspace cross sections in order to achieve optimum thermal insulation.
It is further provided that the insulator insert is designed such that during the pivoting and / or during the displacement of the first part of the insulating insert on the second part of the insulating insert is movable along without contact. As a result, a particularly obstacle-free displacement and / or pivoting of the frame parts relative to each other possible, ie a particularly easy sliding along the frame parts together when the solution according to the invention is used in sliding panels, or a particularly smooth pivoting when the solution according to the invention in swing wings or the like is used.
Furthermore, it is provided that the first part of the insulating insert has a first region and a second region arranged substantially perpendicular thereto to form a first inner angle, and that the second part of the insulating insert has a cross-sectional shape that is substantially complementary to the first part, so that the first Area of the first part of the second portion of the second part and the second portion of the first part of the first portion of the second part to form a first gap with a first gap distance opposite. In this case, the first region of the first part then lies in the first region of the second part, forming a second one Gap with a second gap distance opposite. Due to the fact that each of the first region of each part and the respective second region of each part in each case substantially perpendicular to each other, ie, an L-shape results for each of the parts, the first gap is in each case between the first region of one of the parts and the second region of the other of the parts is formed and is interrupted by the substantially perpendicular thereto extending second gap with the second gap spacing and displaced in the direction of extension of the respectively adjacent first regions of the two parts.

This results in the particular advantage that a variation of the distance between the two parts of the insulating insert to each other both enlargement of the interrupted first gap, d. H. in the direction of the respective first regions of the parts, as well as enlarging the second gap, d. H. in the direction of the respective second areas of the parts is possible. This results in a large possibility of variation with respect to the volume and / or the limiting cross-section of the space to be filled with the insulating insert. Furthermore, it is possible to provide the insulator insert for a relatively wide range of possible interspace volumes. As a result of the L-shape results in an at least partial overlap of the parts of the insulating insert to the effect that they adjoin at least in partial surfaces to form a (relatively small) gap. As a result, the air circulation, which is responsible for the unwanted heat transfer as a result of convection, effectively reduced.

According to one aspect of the solution according to the invention, it is provided that an area of the second part lying opposite the first inner angle at least in some areas has a distance from the first inner angle which is greater than the first part and / or the second gap spacing. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the region of the first part lying opposite the second inner angle at least in some areas has a distance from the second inner angle which is greater than the first and / or second gap spacing.

This results in particular in pivoting wings or the like the particular advantage that pivoting of the frame parts relative to each other far can be done without hindrance or even completely non-contact, while the isolation effect is minimally affected. This is because the region of the respective other part of the insulator insert opposite the respective inner angle is only further spaced from the inner angle than the respective gap spacing or the respective gap spacings, the gap can be made narrow enough outside the region so that heat transfer is effectively reduced becomes.

According to a further aspect of the solution according to the invention, it is provided that the region of the second part lying opposite the first inner angle is rounded or bevelled. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the second inner angle of the opposite portion of the first part is rounded or bevelled.

By such a rounding or chamfering a particularly simple spacing of the respective inner angle opposite region of the other part is possible, which reduces the production cost. Incidentally, the same or similar effects as achieved for a general spacing of the area from the respective interior angle and as described above result.

According to a further aspect of the inventive solution, it is provided that the insulating insert is at least partially formed of an insulating material of at least one of the group of polyethylene foam, polystyrene foam, ethylene propylene diene elastomer, plastic material, polyamide, wood, Compacfoam. The materials mentioned, in addition to good availability and relatively simple production process, all provide a sufficient insulation effect.

In the following, embodiments of the solution according to the invention are explained in more detail with reference to a drawing.

FIGS. 4a, 4b and 4c:

Cross-sectional views of a profile arrangement in the form of relatively pivotable wing profiles according to the second embodiment of the invention, in different pivotal positions, each with the insulating insert of the FIGS. 2a and 2b ,

Fig. 1a shows a cross-sectional view of an insulating insert 200, which is used in connection with a profile arrangement according to a first embodiment of the inventive solution, as described below with reference to FIGS. 3a and 3b is explained. The insulating insert 200 off Fig. 1a is constructed in two parts and consists of a first L-shaped part 210 and a substantially complementary thereto formed second L-shaped part 220. The first part 210 has a first portion 211 and a substantially perpendicular thereto formed second portion 212, which under Forming a first inner angle 215 adjoin one another. The essentially complementary second part 220 therefore again has a first region 221 and a second region 222 arranged substantially perpendicular thereto, which adjoin one another while forming a second inner angle 225.

A first gap 230 with a first gap spacing 231 is respectively formed between the first area 211 of the first part 210 and the areally opposite second area 222 of the second part 220 or between the first area 221 of the second part 220 and the second area 212 lying opposite in terms of area of the first part 210. The first gap 230 is thus due to the double L-shape of the insulating insert 200 in the in Fig. 1a illustrated cross-sectional area offset interrupted; A transition region is formed by a second gap 240, forming a second gap distance 241, which accordingly runs substantially perpendicular to the interrupted first gap 230 and is delimited by the first region 211 of the first part 210 and the first region 221 of the second part 220.

How out Fig. 1b can be varied, as a result of a displacement of the parts 210, 220 of the insulating insert 200 relative to each other in the direction of the respective first regions 211, 221, the gap distance 231 of the first gap 230 can be varied; in the FIGS. 1a and 1b not shown, but just as easily possible is a variation of the second gap distance 241 of the second gap 240 by displacement of the parts 210, 220 of the insulating insert 200 relative to each other in the extension direction of the respective second regions 212, 222nd

The FIGS. 2a and 2b show analogous to the FIGS. 1a and 1b the two parts 210, 220 of an insulating insert 200, in each case in different positions relative to each other, as it can be used in a profile arrangement according to a second embodiment, said profile arrangement according to the second embodiment below in connection with the FIGS. 4a to 4c will be explained.

The insulating insert 200 is in turn formed in two parts and has an L-shaped first part 210 and a substantially complementary thereto formed second part 220, which in turn, as in relation to the FIGS. 1a and 1b already explained, substantially perpendicular to each other adjacent respective first and second regions 211, 212 and 221, 222, which form a first inner angle 215 and a second inner angle 225.

In continuing the shaping, as in the FIGS. 1a and 1b is shown, however, in inner angles 215, 225 respectively opposite areas 226 and 216 of the other part 220, 210 of the insulating insert 200 according to the second embodiment is tapered such that a pivoting movement of the parts 210, 220 relative to each other, as shown in FIG Fig. 2b is shown largely disability-free, ie contact-free is possible, even if the insulation effect is only slightly affected, since the parts 210, 220 further have a gap 230 or 240 between them, which for effectively reducing the heat transfer and thus to effectively improve the Insulation contributes.

The FIGS. 3a and 3b show in each case in a cross-sectional view a profile arrangement 100, in the special case a first sliding leaf 100a and a second sliding leaf 100b, wherein in each of these two sliding leaf 100a, 100b, ie in each sub-profile arrangement 100, in each case a gap 150 between a first frame part 110 and a second frame part 120 is formed.

In this case, the first frame part 110 is formed from a first profile half shell 111 and a second profile half shell 121, which are connected to one another by means of insulating webs. In the illustrated first embodiment according to FIGS. 3 a and 3 b, a surface element, for example a glazing or the like, is provided on the first frame part 110 of each of the sliding leaves 100 a, 100 b. This sliding leaf, ie, in each case the first frame part 110, is displaceable relative to the second frame part 120. On the second frame part 120, according to the first embodiment shown, the first part 210 of the insulating insert 200 is made FIGS. 1a and 1b intended; Accordingly, the complementary second part 220 of the insulator insert 200 is provided in the intermediate space 150 between the first frame part 110 and the second frame part 120 on the first frame part 110 that during a sliding movement of the first frame part 110 relative to the second frame part 120, the two parts of the insulating insert 200 can be moved without contact past each other, and at the same time due to the first gap 230 and the second gap 240 between the parts 210, 220 of the insulating insert 200 heat transfer due to convection both between the first frame member 110 and the second frame member 120, as well as between the first profile half-shell 111 and the second profile half-shell 121 of the first frame part 110 is effectively reduced.

How out Fig. 3b It can be seen that it is possible to reduce the volume of the intermediate space 150 in such a way that the first frame part 110 is displaced towards the second frame part 120 without requiring an exchange of the parts 210, 220 of the insulating insert 200; Rather, it is ensured that even with such a variation of the intermediate space 150, one and the same insulating insert 200 can be used.

Like from the FIGS. 4b and 4c is apparent, such a cross-sectional shape of the parts 210, 220 of the insulating insert 200 is particularly suitable when the frame parts 110, 120 are rotated relative to each other about a pivot point D or pivoted. As a result of in relation to the FIGS. 2a and 2b described chamfer of the respective inner angles 215, 225 opposite Parts 216 and 226, respectively, through which the respective regions 216 and 226 have distances, which in the in Fig. 4a illustrated closed state are greater than the first gap distance 231 and / or the second gap spacing 241, it is possible that a pivoting, as shown in the FIGS. 4b and 4c is shown so non-contact that the movement of the first part 110 relative to the second part 120 is not affected.

In both the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the parts 210, 220 of the respective insulator insert 200 are each formed at least in part from a suitable insulating material such as polyethylene foam, polystyrene foam, ethylene propylene diene elastomer, plastic material, polyamide, wood, Compacfoam , As a result, the insulating effect is improved, in particular with regard to the undesired convective heat transfer between the frame parts 110, 120.
