Abstract

The panel (10a) has a section formed by a sequence of peaks (11) and troughs (12) both longitudinally extended on a surface of the panel, where the panel is made of metallic sheet. The peaks and the troughs connected to each other by junction walls (14a, 14b). Two longitudinal edges (13a, 13b) are respectively extended along the walls at distances from the premier peak (11a) of the peaks and the last trough (12b) of the troughs. The troughs are partly flat, and the distances are lower than half of a width of the walls between the peak and the trough. An independent claim is also included for a roof of a building, comprising an assembly of panels.

Description

The invention relates to a panel that can be used within the framework of a panel assembly for the manufacture of roofs, more particularly roofs for animal husbandry constructions, particularly ruminant animals.

Ruminant animals have an important sensitivity to the atmospheric conditions of the buildings in which they are protected.

In particular, the humidity percentage, the temperature, the air circulation speed and its composition must be controlled.

With regard to the renewal of the air, it must be both important enough to ensure satisfactory sanitation of the construction but should not cause a too sharp reduction in temperature that would be detrimental to the health of the animals.

For this, the speed of the air in circulation in the building must be between 0.5 and 1.5 m / s.

Roofs are known that comprise a panel assembly in which a space is provided between each panel so that air circulates without rainwater penetrating the construction.

But these assemblies are often delicate to assemble, either by the profile of the panels, or by the particular position related to the panels that must be taken to leave the ventilation space between two adjacent panels.

Document DE 200 13 238 U1 shows a panel according to the preamble of claim 1.

The purpose of the invention is to alleviate the aforementioned drawbacks and to fine-tune a panel, a panel assembly and the resulting roof to ensure the required ventilation by performing a simple and quick installation.

In this regard, the object of the invention is a panel having a profile formed by a succession of ridges and channels that extend longitudinally on the surface of said panel and joined together by connecting walls and which is essentially characterized in that it has a first longitudinal edge that extends along the first joint wall at a certain distance from the first ridge, because it has an opposite longitudinal edge that extends along the last joint wall at a certain distance from the last channel, because the channels of the profile of said panel are at least partly flat and because the distance between the first longitudinal edge and the first ridge and the distance between the opposite longitudinal edge and the last channel are less than half the width of the joining walls between a consecutive crest and channel.

The panel of the invention may also comprise the following optional features, taken separately or in combination:

-presents a trapezoidal profile. -It consists of a metal sheet, preferably steel, for example pre-lacquered galvanized steel.

The invention also relates to an assembly of panels according to the invention which have a profile made by a succession of ridges and channels that extend longitudinally on the surface of said panel and joined together by joining walls, this assembly being characterized essentially because the two longitudinal edges located in proximity to each other of two adjacent panels are placed in relation to each other so as to ensure a transverse covering between the two panels considered leaving a space between these two edges in the direction transverse to the plane of the channels thus forming a ventilation opening.

The panel assembly of the invention may also comprise the following optional feature:

-the longitudinal edge of one of the panels located above the other panel in the covering area, is in the alignment of the fold between the last channel and the first upright part of this other panel according to a direction transverse to the plane of the channels

The invention further relates to a roof that is essentially characterized in that it comprises a panel assembly according to the invention, each panel being fixed to the racks of the construction framework.

The roof of the invention may also comprise the following optional features, taken separately or in combination:

-each panel is fixed to two parhileras on which the transverse edges of the considered panel are supported. -each panel is fixed to three loudspeakers, the transverse edges of the panel considered on these two loudspeakers being supported, and the third louver being arranged between the first two loudspeakers. -the fixing of the panels to the parhileras is done by screwing either from at least one crest of the panel, or from at least one channel of the panel.

The invention will be better understood by reading the description that follows, given with reference to the attached figures in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a construction for livestock rearing comprising the roof of the invention;

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a panel according to the invention;

Figure 3 is a sectional view of a two panel assembly according to the invention, these two panels being in accordance with that shown in Figure 2;

FIG. 4 is a schematic perspective view of two panels assembled longitudinally on the frame of the construction;

Figure 5 is a sectional view of the panel of Figure 2 schematically illustrating a way of fixing a panel on the frame of the construction according to a first variant; Y

Figure 6 is a sectional view of the panel of Figure 2 schematically illustrating a mode of fixing a panel on the frame of the construction according to a second variant.

Referring to FIG. 1, a construction for livestock rearing 1 particularly comprises a frame 2 that supports the side walls 3 and a roof 4. The ends of the construction 1 are formed by frontispieces 5 comprising doors 6, for example doors sliding.

The roof 4 is constituted by an assembly of metal panels 10 that are fixed to the racks 2a, 2b of the frame 2. Preferably, the metal of the panel 10 is made of pre-lacquered galvanized steel.

Referring to Figure 2, the panel 10 presents in section a regular succession of ridges 11 and channels 12 of trapezoidal shapes, connected to each other by connecting walls 14. These crests 11, channels 12 and joining walls 14 extend longitudinally over the entire surface of panel 10.

The first longitudinal edge 13a of the panel 10 extends along the first joint wall 14a some distance from the first ridge 11a and the second longitudinal edge or opposite longitudinal edge 13b extends along the last joint wall 14b at a certain distance from the last channel 12a.

The widths, lb, thus obtained respectively from the connecting wall portions 14a, 14b at the level of the two longitudinal edges 13a, 13b are identical and less than half the width lc of the joining walls 14 between a ridge 11 and a 12 consecutive channel.

Referring to Figure 3, the distance I1 between two consecutive crests 11 is set at 171.5 millimeters and the height I2 taken between the crests 11 and the channels 12 is 30 millimeters.

The widths 13, 14 of the channels 12 and the ridges 11 are set at respectively 82.5 millimeters and 89 millimeters. These two widths 13, 14 are measured between two consecutive folds 15 on either side of a channel 12, for measuring the width 13 of the channels 12 and on either side of a ridge 11 for measuring the width 14 of a channel. crest 11.

The width 16 between the first longitudinal edge 13a and the last fold 15b between the last channel 12b and the last joining part 14b is fixed at 1010 millimeters.

The assembly between a first panel 10a and a second panel 10b is described with reference to this same figure 3.

These two panels 10a and 10b are identical and conform to panel 10 of Figure 2.

The two panels 10a and 10b are arranged relative to each other such that the channels 12 of these two adjacent panels 10a, 10b are aligned in the same plane P.

On the other hand, the first longitudinal edge 13a of one 10b of the two panels is positioned above the opposite transverse edge 13b of the second panel 10b.

More precisely, this first longitudinal edge 13b of the first panel 10b is in alignment with the last fold 15b between the last channel 12b and the last joining part 14b of the panel 10a whose opposite longitudinal edge 13b is located below in a direction transverse to the P plane of the channels 12.

This arrangement produces a transverse covering 16 with a width 15 set at 12 millimeters. It will be appreciated that this width 15 of the transverse covering 16 between two adjacent panels 10a, 10b depends directly on the widths, lb (Figure 1) of the last parts of respective connecting walls 14a, 14b.

These widths, lb, are fixed less than half the width lc of the connecting walls 14 in order to form a ventilation opening 30 that allows air to circulate between two adjacent panels 10a, 10b, as indicated by arrow F Preferably, these widths, lb are equal in order to facilitate the relative positioning of two adjacent panels 10a, 10b.

Referring to Figure 4, a panel 10a is fixed on two racks 2a, 2b that extend perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the panel 10a.

The fixing of this panel 10a to the racks 2a, 2b is secured by four fixings 25a, 25b, 25c, 25d such as screws at the level of the first transverse edge 26 of this panel 10a and distributed in four non-consecutive channels 12, and by four fasteners 27a, 27b, 27c, 27d such as screws equally at the level of the opposite transverse edge 28 and distributed in four non-consecutive channels 12.

It can also be provided that these fixings are distributed at the level of each transverse edge over four ridges 11 of the panel 10a instead of the four channels 12 described above.

On the other hand, as can be seen in Figure 4, two panels 10a, 10a 'are arranged longitudinally by forming a watertight coating 20 formed by a contact support of the first transverse edge 21 of the panel 10a' on the conjugated upper surface 22 of the panel upstream 10a at the level of its opposite transverse edge

28.

According to this configuration, the four fixings by means of screws 27a, 27b, 27c, 27d also ensure the fixing of this second panel 10a ’on the rack 2b.

Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the panels 10 may extend over three non-visible speakers in these figures.

In this case, the fixing may be secured by four fixings by the edge 29a, 29b, 29c, 29d at the level of each of the two opposite transverse edges of a panel, as described with reference to Figure 4, but also by three fixations called intermediaries 30a, 30b, 30c at the level of the intermediary parhilera.

These fixations by the edge and intermediaries can be made either by zones, that is to say at the level of the channels 12 of the panel (figure 6), or made at the crest at the level of the crests 11 of the panel (figure 5).

In the case of zone fixing, the fixing means are constituted by screws and a double thread screw system will be used for a crest fixing.

Crest fixation will be preferred when the internal surface of the panel is covered, for example, by a drain and this, in order to avoid its crushing on the parchment.

It is understood that to fix these panels 10, 10a, 10b, 10c, it is sufficient to position them on the racks and proceed to their fixing by screwing as described above.

To position a panel 10b relative to its transversely adjacent panel 10a, it is sufficient to place the first longitudinal edge 13a of this panel 10b in alignment with the last fold 15b of the adjacent panel 10a in a direction perpendicular to the plane P of the channels (Figure 3 ).

And to place a panel 10a 'in relation to its longitudinally adjacent panel 10a, it is sufficient to place its first transverse edge 21 on the opposite transverse edge 28 of the adjacent panel 10a to form a sealed covering zone 20 between these two panels 10a, 10a' .

The fixing of these two panels 10a, 10a 'at the level of the covering area 20 is secured by screwing as shown in Figure 4, through each screw 27a, 27b, 27c, 27d the two panels 10a, 10a' at the level of their respective transverse edge 28, 21.

The panels of the invention make it possible to ensure the simple and rapid installation of an assembly of roof-forming panels and also ensure a circulation of air in the construction.
