Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a modular polycarbonate panel for roofs of buildings, suitable for being coupled both to sandwich-type panels and to successive modular panels through its respective sides, and where said panel is comprised within the sector of roof and enclosure construction and insulation.
  • the main purpose of the modular polycarbonate panel object of the invention is to provide a panel which can be coupled to successive adjacent panels, either sandwich-type panels or modular polycarbonate panels, such that they cover a given surface of a roof or enclosure rapidly, safely and effectively, allowing light from the outside into the building, and which additionally does not require inner reinforcement elements for the panel, therefore lowering its cost compared to its competition, in addition to simplifying its placement, and therefore reducing the installation time thereof.
  • polycarbonate panels which are laterally coupled to sandwich-type panels are known to be used and applied on roofs of industrial buildings in general, the main purpose of which is to allow light into the building, to protect the region of the roof from inclement weathers, and to provide a certain degree of insulation to the upper part of the building.
  • Such sandwich-type panels for a roof can be classified into two main types, including:
  • the use and application of polycarbonate panels configured for being laterally coupled to said sandwich-type panels is known, where the polycarbonate panels of the state of the art have a cell structure defining a plurality of insulating chambers, and have on each side respective protrusion-like tabs suitable being coupled, on one side, to the projection of a sandwich-type panel, and on the other side, to a tab of the other sandwich-type panel.
  • said sheet metal profiles are used to protect the polycarbonate panel from possible damage caused by expansion, and are also used for esthetic reasons, since having a visible gap between both panels is not pleasing to the eyes, and where the sheet metal profile located in the upper region with respect to both tabs conceals it from the exposed part of the roof.
  • German patent application DE10208687 A1 relates to a device for the longitudinal connection of overlapping light elements with a device for at least indirect attachment of adjacent elements to a purlin construction.
  • the present invention relates to a modular polycarbonate panel for roofs of buildings configured for being coupled to a second panel on a first side and to a third panel on a second side according to claim 1, wherein said modular polycarbonate panel comprises a cell structure defining a plurality of chambers, wherein:
  • a projection is understood as a part that sticks out of the cell structure itself, where it can be seen that the projection has the same cell structure defining the plurality of chambers as the rest of the structure of the modular polycarbonate panel, such that unlike the state of the art, one of the sides has said projection that can be coupled to a tab of an adjacent second panel, such that once both panels are superposed through the projection of the first panel and the tab of the second panel, a strong attachment that does not require the need to include reinforcement sheet metal profiles to increase its resistant capacity is achieved.
  • the time for placing each of the panels object of the invention is reduced, since the panel itself is formed from a single part and the skilled operator will only need to position the panels by coupling the tab of a first side of a first panel to the projection of a second side of a second panel in a quick and effective placement.
  • one of the sides does indeed have the mentioned tab, but the other side has the projection suitable for being coupled to the tab, so it is not a symmetrical panel like in the state of the art, and it assures an increase in mechanical strength in the attachment between panels without having to use reinforcement sheet metal profiles.
  • the modular polycarbonate panel object of the invention is designed for being coupled to the first panel and to the second panel, where these panels can also be modular polycarbonate panels having the same technical features described in the panel object of the invention. Furthermore, it can also be coupled to a first and second sandwich-type panel for roofs, where a sandwich-type panel for roofs is formed by two generally metallic plates having therein a filler material which can be an insulating material such as polyurethane, rock wool, polystyrene or other materials.
  • said modular polycarbonate panel can be produced by means of a process of extruding it through a head or mold, then cutting it to the pre-established dimensions, so it can be seen how said projection of the second side has the same cell structure defining a plurality of chambers as the cell structure of the panel itself given that it is produced as a whole, making the production process and the subsequent commercialization simpler and more cost-effective. Additionally, the cell structure of said projection gives it an optimum resistant capacity by acting as an ideal tubular structure for withstanding compressive and traction forces suffered by said panel throughout its service life.
  • the first side of the modular polycarbonate panel which has said tab, is designed such that said tab comprises a protuberance on the surface thereof intended for coming into contact with the projection of the second panel, configured to prevent air or water from seeping in between the attachment between panels, where this is a simple and highly practical solution.
  • the protuberance in use, has an inclination in direction of the projection of the second panel.
  • the modular panel comprising a plurality of intermediate projections between the first side and second side is contemplated, where multiple geometries can be made available: trapeziums, trapezoids, semicircles, etc., where the geometry of said projections are preferably identical to the geometry of the projection located on the second side of each panel.
  • the tab of the first side has a trapezoidal profile with an open base
  • said projection of the second side has a trapezoidal section suitable for being introduced through the open base of the tab of a first side of a third panel, such that it acts like a fretwork between both panels, where it is one of the most commonly used solutions in the state of the art due to its excellent behavior in the event of external stress.
  • the tab of the first side of the panel object of the invention has a thickening in the base thereof close to the first side is described, such that rigidity in the region of attachment of the tab with the panel is increased in a simple and effective manner, where said thickening tapers towards the free end of the tab.
  • each panel comprising a fixing element configured for attaching said tab of the first side to said projection of the second side of a third panel
  • said fixing element is preferably a threaded screw.
  • Said threaded screw constitutes a safe, removable and quick-to-install fixing means.
  • the proposed invention therefore allows obtaining a modular polycarbonate panel for roofs of buildings which can be coupled to different adjacent panels such that they cover a given surface of a roof or enclosure rapidly, safely and effectively; where additionally, said panel does not require inner reinforcement elements for the panel, therefore lowering its cost compared to its competition, in addition to simplifying its placement, and therefore reducing the installation time thereof compared to the currently known state of the art.
  • a panel (1') of the state of the art which is coupled to a second sandwich-type panel (2') and a third sandwich-type panel (3') through the respective tabs (6', 7') located on the sides of each panel (1', 2', 3') can be seen; the attachment between panels (1', 2', 3') is thereby made through the respective tabs (6', 7') aided by lower sheet metal profiles (5') in charge of making the attachment between panels (1', 2', 3') more rigid, and upper sheet metal profiles (5" in charge of concealing the attachment between the panels (1', 2', 3'). Additionally, the cell structure of the chambers (4') formed during the production of the mentioned panel (1') is seen.
  • Figures 3 to 6 show the existence of the modular polycarbonate panel (1) for roofs of buildings object of the invention, which is configured for being coupled to a second sandwich-type panel (3) on one its side, and to a third sandwich-type panel (2) on the other side, wherein said modular panel (1) comprises a cell structure defining a plurality of chambers (4), and wherein:
  • Figure 4 shows a detail of the second side (1b) of the modular panel (1) depicting therein the projection (7) with a trapezoidal geometry, which has a cell structure defining a plurality of chambers (5), as well as the existence of a protrusion (9) intended for being coupled to the first side (2a) of a second sandwich-type panel (2), as shown by Figure 6 .
  • Figure 5 shows a detail of the first side (1a) of the modular panel (1) depicting therein the tab (6) with a trapezoidal geometry, the existence of a space (8) defining a geometry complementary to the protrusion (9) of the second side (1b), and said space (8) configured for the coupling of the protrusion (9) of the second side (3b) of a second sandwich-type panel (3), as shown by Figure 6 ; where said Figure 5 also depicts how the tab (6) of the first side (1a) has, in the base thereof close to the first side (1a), a thickening (6b) having a tapering section intended for increasing rigidity in said region of the first side (1a).
  • said Figure 5 shows that the first side (1a) having said tab (6) comprises a protuberance (11) on the surface of the tab (6) intended for coming into contact with the projection (7) of the third panel (2); where said protuberance (11) is configured to prevent air or water from seeping in through the attachment between respective panels (1, 2, 3).
  • Figure 6 shows the attachment of respective panels (1, 2, 3) through the attachment between the tab (6) located on the first side (2a) of the third sandwich-type panel (2) with the projection (7) of the second side (1b) of the first modular polycarbonate panel (1); and on the other side, through the attachment between the projection (7) of the second side (3b) of the second sandwich-type panel (3) with the tab (6) of the first side (1a) of the first modular polycarbonate panel (1).
  • Figure 7 shows the existence of a plurality of intermediate projections (10) between the first side (2a) and the second side (3b) of the sandwich-type panels, which have, respectively, a trapezoidal section, where they can be formed in the modular polycarbonate panel (1) object of the invention.
