HOUSEHOLD ELEMENT, SYSTEM AND USE OF HOUSEHOLD ELEMENT

The invention relates to a surface mounted building technology element, comprising: - a frame part, - a cover part adapted to be attached to a frame part, for closing the building technology element, and having elongated pieces adaptable within the building technology element, and - includes a magnetic bracket for attaching the cover member to a body member disposed on at least one edge of the body member and / or cover member on mutually adjustable surfaces.

The invention also relates to a building technology element system and the use of a building technology element.

Traditionally, hot water and power lines in buildings are installed inside walls in new buildings. In this way, the pipes are out of sight of the building user and the interior of the building is aesthetically pleasing. However, the lifetime of hot water and power lines is significantly shorter than the total lifetime of the building, which means that the water and power lines will need to be renewed at some point in the life cycle of the building. Installation of the walls inside the walls is problematic for the renewal of the lines, as the lines can only be accessed by dismantling the wall structures.

It is generally known that the replacement of hot water and power lines can be done using a so-called surface mounting technique, where old lines are left inside the walls and new lines are installed outside the walls. In this case, the lines should be encapsulated to meet safety regulations and to achieve an aesthetically acceptable design.

Various building technology elements for surface water and power lines are known in the art. One such building technology element has a U-shaped body piece to which the lines are attached and a separate planar cover portion that is secured to the body piece to close the building technology element. The cover section is fastened with rivets. The problem with such a structure is the fastening of the cover part to the rivets, which is a time-consuming step in installing the enclosure. In addition, riveting is a malfunctioning stage in which an error in drilling can result in damage to the worker, the environment or lines inside the building technology element. Further, riveting renders the building technology element aesthetically insignificant. The riveting is also tedious to open if further installation or repair work is needed inside the building technology element.

As the prior art, reference is made to EP 0627802 A1, US 2007144760 A1 and US 5024614 A.

The object of the invention is to provide a building technology element which is simpler to manufacture and install in the field of application than prior art building technology elements. It is also an object of the invention to provide a system of building technology elements by which the building technology elements can be simply combined. It is a further object of the invention to provide a use for a building technology element, in which the building technology element is particularly advantageous. Characteristic features of the use of the present invention are apparent from the appended claim 7.

The object of the building technology element of the invention can be achieved by a surface mounted building technology element comprising a frame part, a cover part adapted to be attached to the frame part, to close the building technology element and in which elongate pieces can be fitted inside the building technology element. In addition, the building technology element includes a magnetic fastener for securing the cover member to the frame member. Magnetic fastening allows fastening of the cover part simply and quickly without riveting or other mechanical fastening. Magnetic mount is easy to close and open.

According to one embodiment, the building technology element may have, for example, a rectangular cross-section. The body and cover portion of the element may be formed of two planar portions substantially at right angles to each other. In this case, the element is divided into a frame and deck section at the cross-section of its cross-section, which makes it easy to install, for example, in corners of rooms and corridors against walls. In addition, if the magnetic attachment is fitted to the edges of the body member and / or the cover member in such a cross-sectional application, the cover member is better retained as it retains a small tension against the body member.

According to one embodiment, the body portion and the lid portion may have a symmetrical cross-sectional shape. Symmetrical pieces can be produced with the same equipment and shapes are simple to manufacture.

The lid portion may have folds at its edges to lock the lid portion behind the frame portion. The edge creations allow the cover portion to be locked into the frame while the edge creases remain between the building technology bracket and the building structure. In addition, the edge sections allow the cover member to be tensioned over the body member.

According to one embodiment, the edge folds are arranged parallel to the planar portions of the body portion and extend partially over the planar portions. The edge folds make sure that the lid section is locked.

According to one embodiment, the frame member has fastening means comprising at least one rail fastener with at least one fastener. The position of the elongate body to be mounted on the rail fastener is adapted to be varied, for example, steplessly in at least one direction. In this way, the distance between the elongated bodies, for example cold water and hot water pipes, can be adjusted as necessary so that the heat transfer is not too strong. In addition, stepless adjustment allows easy installation of pipes of different sizes.

The edges of the body member may have contact surfaces for magnetic attachment of the cover member. In one embodiment, the contact surfaces may consist of folds in the direction of the planar portions of the cover portion at the magnetic fasteners. These folds act as counterparts to the magnets of the magnetic clips, locking the lid portion in place. Because the folds are parallel to the plane portions of the cover portion, they partially extend into the area of their inner surface.

According to one embodiment, the magnetic attachment may be formed by at least one magnetic tape assembly having an adhesive surface for securing the magnetic tape. This way, the magnetic tape can be easily attached to the building technology element without rivets or similar mechanical fasteners. The magnetic tape may be mounted on its cover portion. The magnetic tape mounted on the cover section can be easily renewed when needed without having to remove the entire building technology element from the structure of the building.

The object of the system according to the invention can be achieved in that the system comprises at least two building technology elements according to the invention which can be connected to each other by a butt joint and also with a magnetic fastening seam which is fitted to the butt joint to cover the connection between the house technology elements. With such a system, it is easy and quick to assemble the building technology elements and the seams between the building technology elements can be easily covered.

In the method of manufacturing a surface mounted building technology element, the body element and the frame member of the building technology element are formed of planar parts. In addition, the method comprises forming the body member and the cover member by folding them from a thin sheet, and providing magnetic attachment between the body member and the cover member. By the method, the production of building technology elements is quick and inexpensive, since the manufacturing can be carried out without special technology.

In the use according to the invention, the building technology element is used in new construction or building renovation, where the building technology elements remain in visible corridors and rooms.

The building technology element according to the invention is advantageously manufactured and very simple to install as a surface mounting in buildings. The advantage of surface mounting is that it does not require any changes to the structure of the building, such as flush mounting. Thanks to the magnetic clamp, opening and closing the building technology element is easy and does not require any special tools. On the other hand, the building technology element will certainly remain closed and it will be difficult to open it, for example, by hand. In addition, the magnetic attachment allows for an aesthetically superior structure of the building technology element, which can be realized, for example, without staples or similar visible fastening elements.

The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1a shows an embodiment of the building technology element 10 according to the invention, seen from the end. The building technology element 10 may also be referred to as a routing element, flue element or pipe installation element. The building technology element 10 includes a frame part 12 and a cover part 16 to be attached thereto for closing the building technology element 10. Together, these ends 52 (Figures 3a-3c) form an open space and a closed space 50 in the second building service element 10. Elongate pieces 14 can be accommodated within the space 50 and thus also in the building service element 10 elongated conductors that must be routed from place to place in the building.

The body portion 12 of the element 10 and the lid portion 16 consist of interconnected planar portions 18. The planes 18 are substantially perpendicular to each other in the body portion 12 and the lid portion 16. The planar portions 18 are secured to one edge by an angular portion 48 which may be at an angle of about 45 ° to each of the planar portions 18. Thus, a longitudinal void space is formed at the corner of the body portion 12 and the cover portion 16, which enables the use of the building technology element 10 also at angles which are not at right angles. In addition, the corner portion 48 also stiffens the element 10.

The body portion 12 includes folds 28 formed at an edge opposite to the angular portion 48 of the planar portions 18, which may be parallel to the planar portions 18 of the deck element. The frame member 12 is intended for surface mounting of a building technology element 10 to a building structure 100 (Fig. 4a), for example to a room wall, floor or ceiling, generally to its installation site. Elongated members 14 to be mounted inside the building technology element 10 are also fastened to the frame member 12. For fastening, the frame member 12 includes fasteners 44, which may be sleeves with internal threads. By means of the free mounting brackets 44, the body part 12 can be fastened, for example, to the wall by means of bolts (not shown). The fastening brackets 44 can also be used to fasten the elongated members 14 inside the building technology element 10. Also, for example, a screw bar may be used to secure the elongate members 14, the end of which includes a collar 42 which is tightened around the elongate member 14. In the examples of Figures 1a to 4a, the elongated body 14 is a water pipe 70 insulated with insulator 40, for example insulating wool.

The lid portion 16, in turn, may include folds 20 arranged on its edges, which may be shorter in length than folds 28 of the frame 12. The folds 20 are parallel to the plane portions of the frame 12. As illustrated in Ib, the cover portion 16 is preferably slightly wider in width than the body portion 12 and also slightly higher in height than the body portion 12. Thus, the edge folds 20 of the cover portion 16 hold the body portion 12 in between, causing a slight tension on the cover portion 16. By means of the folds 20, the lid part 16 is locked behind the body part 12.

As shown in Figure Ib, the building service element 10 according to the invention includes a magnetic fastening 30 by means of which the body part 12 and the cover part 16 are fixed to each other. The magnetic fastening 30 is provided on the cross-sectional diagonal 80 of the building technology element 10, whereby the clamping forces are applied in two directions, keeping the lid part 16 tightly in place. In the embodiments of Figures 1a to 4a, the magnetic tape 32 belonging to the magnetic fastening 30 is secured to the cover portion 16 of its adhesive surface 34. The magnetic tape 32 is secured to the inner surface of the flat portion 18 part 12 with a fold 28 which forms the contact surface of the magnetic strip 32. Thus, the magnetic fastening 30 is disposed on at least one edge of the body portion 12 and / or the cover portion 16 on mutually adjustable surfaces. At least one edge of the body member 12 is provided with a stop surface 28 for magnetic attachment 30 of the cover member 16.

As shown, the body portion 12 and the cover portion 16 each form an L-shaped structure. Then, the building technology element 10 is divided into a frame part 12 and a cover part 16 at its cross-sectional diagonal 80. The body portion 12 and the lid portion 16 may be symmetrical in shape, with only one being slightly smaller than the other, fitting inside the other. In contrast to the figures, the construction of the building technology element of the invention can also be implemented in the opposite way, that is, the frame part is slightly larger than the cover part. Further, the magnetic strips of the magnetic attachment may also be secured to the body.

Figure 2a is an axonometric representation of the structure of a building technology element according to the invention. As shown, the magnetic tapes 32 may be the entire cover portion but may also be shorter pieces which form a discontinuous structure. In addition to the point shown in the drawings, magnetic strips may also be provided at points between the edge folds 20 of the cover member and the plane portion of the body member. Preferably, the magnetic tape is at an edge opposite to the angular portion 48 of at least one of the planar portions 18. If only one magnetic strip is used, the other magnetic strip has some kind of gripping means or the like which also secures the edge of the second plane portion. For example, the edge fold 20 may act like this.

In Fig. 2b, the cover part 16 is mounted on the body part 12. The body part 12 and the cover part 16 can be made, for example, from a sheet of 0.4 to 2 mm and more particularly from 0.8 to 1.2 mm. The thin sheet may be galvanized or similar surface-treated metal material which is durable in use. At least a larger part, be it a frame part or a cover part, is of such a material that it bends slightly in the transverse direction of the building technology element. The larger portion may be flexible so that it can be bent over the smaller portion. Other materials may also be used to make the building technology element, provided that they are sufficiently flexible and resistant to bending.

Figures 3a-3c show an example of a system according to the invention. It comprises at least two building service elements 10 according to the invention, which are connected to each other by a butt joint 36. In addition, the system also includes a magnetic fastening seam strip 38 which is fitted to the butt joint 36 to cover the connection between the house technology elements 10. Figure 3a shows two building technology elements 10 that are to be connected to one another. Full-length house technology elements can be, for example, 2500 to 2600 mm long. The elongated bodies within the building technology elements may be uniform or cut to the length of the building technology elements 10 as shown.

As shown in Figure 3b, the building technology elements 10 are joined to one another by a butt joint 36, i.e. by pushing the ends 52 of the building technology elements 10 against each other. Prior to this, for example, water pipes inside the house technology elements can be connected to each other. On the other hand, this can also be done after the elements have been joined together.

As shown in Figure 3c, a magnetically sealed seam strip 38 is placed over the butt joint 36, which locks the building technology elements 10 together and covers the butt joint 36 neatly. The seam strip 38 may be of a similar structure to the cover portion 16 of the building technology element 10, but only slightly larger in size, so that it also fits over the cover portion 16 of the building technology element 10. For example, the width of the seam strip may be 30 to 100 mm, more particularly 40 to 60 mm. Also, the seam strips have a magnetic fastening 30 formed from magnetic strips 32 and edge folds 20. The seam strips can also be placed in one butt joint, whereby they cover the butt joint around the building technology element.

According to Fig. 4a, the purpose of the edge folds 20 of the cover portion 16 is to remain between the frame element 12 of the building technology element 10 and the building structure 100, such as a wall, where When installing the building components, the mounting can be left slightly apart from the structure of the building in order to secure the deck section. When the cover member is in place, the attachment to the building structure is tightened, whereby the end folds 20 remain "laced" between the building structure 100 and the frame member 12. This prevents unauthorized opening of the building technology elements for malicious purposes. On the other hand, the attachment of the body member to the structure 100 may also be tight, since the edge fold 20 can be compressed as a thin tab between the body 100 and the body member 12.

Fig. 4a shows another embodiment of the building service element according to the invention in which the fastening means 22 fitted to the element 10 is used for fastening the elongated body 14. The fastening means 22 now include at least one rail fastener 24 in one direction. This level may be the same by which the building technology element 10 is secured to the object to be installed on the structure of the building, for example on a wall or ceiling. As illustrated, the rail fastener 24 may be secured to the body 12 by means of fastening brackets 44. With the rail fastener 24, the distance of the piece 13 from the body part 12 can also be adjusted as desired.

As shown in Figure 4b, the rail fastener 24 may be, for example, a rail with a transverse groove 62 of the building technology element and an empty space 56 (Figure 4a) in which the fastener 26 is movable. The bracket 26 is supported by the brackets 60 on the rail bracket 24. A single rail bracket 24 may be provided with a plurality of brackets 26, for example two, as shown in FIG. The bottom of the rail bracket 24 may include apertures 58 for securing the rail bracket 24 to the housing component body 12, for example by means of screws. It should be noted that such a rail mounting bracket 24 can equally be used in the embodiments shown in the other figures.

The length of the building technology element of the invention may be, for example, 100 to 4000 mm, more particularly 1500 to 2600 mm. The width may be, for example, 150 to 1000 mm, more particularly 250 to 600 mm. The depth, in turn, can be, for example, 50 to 400 mm, more particularly 100 to 250 mm. However, the dimensions of the building service element according to the invention may vary considerably depending on the dimensions of the application. One application may be to provide elements of standard length 10, which can then be sawed to the desired size at the installation site.

The building technology element of the invention can be manufactured, for example, without special wool, since its use is in surface installations. In surface installations, the building technology element is mounted against a floor, ceiling or wall that is partitioned. In this case, there is no need for insulating wool inside element 10.

According to one embodiment, the body may also include a partition. For example, water lines and power cables can be separated. The partition wall may be made so that the same body portion still covers the entire frame part. Alternatively, a second body 12 may be attached to the side of the body 12 as shown in Figure 7. A second frame portion 12 which is secured to a fold 28 of a first frame portion 12 is provided with a layer 40 'of insulating material perpendicular to the plane portion 18 for securing the elongate members 14 of the second frame portion 12 to provide effective separation of the building technology element 10. In Fig. 5, the elongated body 14 on the left body 12 is a water pipe 70, while the elongated body 14 on the right body 12 is an electrical cable bundle 72. Both body members 12 are covered by a common cover portion 16. have an angular portion 48 to provide a secure attachment between the body members 12. For example, a connecting pin 45 may be used to fasten the body members 12 to each other.

Figure 6 is an end view of a fourth embodiment of a building technology element according to the invention, with parts of the building technology element spaced apart. The element 10 according to this embodiment can be mounted, for example, in the middle of a wall. The lid portion 16 closes the element 10 on three sides. Otherwise, the reference numbering corresponds to the one shown above (Figure 1a).

By the principle of the invention, bending elements can also be realized, for example at an angle of 45 degrees.

In the method, the surface mounted building technology element can be made such that the frame element and the cover part of the building technology element are initially formed of planar parts. The formation takes place by folding the body part and the cover part of the sheet metal. Thereafter, a magnetic attachment is provided between the body member and the cover member. It secures the cover part and the frame part together. In the method, the surface mounted building technology element can be manufactured very simply without welding or with a rivet backing. The frame member and cover member are only folded out of sheet metal pieces and holes may be drilled into the body member for the mounting brackets. Thereafter, a magnetic fastening is glued to the building technology element, after which the building technology element is finished.

According to the invention, the building technology element of the invention can be used in new construction as well as in building renovation. In these, new pipes and cables are often installed as surface mountings due to the laborious task of replacing old pipes.
