Description
- This application is a National Phase Application of PCT/EP2008/094289, filed on Oct. 22, 2008, which is based upon and claims the benefit of priority to German Patent Application No. 20 2008 001 191.4, filed on Jan. 28, 2008, the contents of both of which applications are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates to a supporting profile arrangement of an explosion-inhibiting design for a façade construction.
- A façade construction of a known type without any explosion-inhibiting design is illustrated in German Patent Document DE 299 19 630 U1.
- A façade construction designed in an explosion-inhibiting fashion is illustrated in German Patent Document DE 20 2007 007 113 U1. This construction has supporting profile arrangements which have complicated constructions and are disadvantageous with respect to their visual effect in comparison to known façade constructions. The construction of German Patent Document DE 37 44 816 U1 has similar disadvantages.
- The present disclosure addresses and provides for elimination of the complications and the disadvantages noted above.
- The present disclosure relates to a supporting profile arrangement of an explosion-inhibiting design for a façade construction. The supporting profile arrangement includes a framework formed by mullion supporting profile arrangements or transom supporting profile arrangements. Also included are framework planar elements fastened to the framework by a pressure profile. Further included is a supporting profile. At least one energy-absorbing component is included in the supporting profile or arranged in the supporting profile. The at least one energy absorbing component is configured to absorb energy release during an explosion.
- Thus, in accordance with the present disclosure, the supporting profile arrangements have a supporting profile which may be constructed in one piece and in which at least one energy-absorbing component is arranged or which has a component designed for absorbing energy released during explosions.
- Visually, the supporting profile arrangement, according to the present disclosure, does not differ from constructions without any explosion-inhibiting effect because the energy-absorbing elements with respect to their cross-section, that is, perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension of the supporting profile, are completely accommodated in a supporting profile or cross-sectionally are completely enclosed by the latter or form a part of this supporting profile which is not visible from the outside.
- Furthermore, an excellent explosion-inhibiting effect is achieved in the case of the pressure at first occurring after an explosion as well as during the suction which follows. An embodiment of the present disclosure represents a further development in addressing the explosion-inhibiting effect. Accordingly, a component is constructed for absorbing pressure energy first released during explosions and then absorbing suction energy released subsequently to the pressure effect, so that break-offs during explosions are particularly easily avoided.
- At least one base is constructed on the component. This base has an advantage that, via the base, an area is created which can be anchored well on the component, particularly if the base is constructed as at least one or more of base plates.
- The base, in turn, is very suitable for the arrangement and formation of a compressible element and/or for the implementation of the measure that at least on projection is formed on the element, particularly the base, which projection will engage in a corresponding recess only after an explosion. This makes it possible to implement leading function in a simple manner. It is within the scope of the present disclosure to provide the projection with a detent head which engages in a recess at the supporting profile only after the explosion event. This ensures that, in the event of an explosion, when areas of the supporting profile are pushed together or pulled apart, which are mutually connected by way of weakened/thinner predetermined breaking or bending points, the compressible element will additionally connect these areas, as required, by way of a detent head or the like. That is in order to prevent, for example, a portion of the supporting profile being at first upset by pressure and then broken off by suction. In this manner, the element can, in addition, easily be preassembled. On the other hand, when the detent head engages, energy can be absorbed by the engagement because the detent head and/or the recess themselves can deform during the engagement. In a supplementary fashion, it is advantageous for the supporting profile to then, in the area in which it has the element, have a wall thickness that is thinner relative to the remaining wall thickness in the walls extending perpendicular to the planar element plane.
- It is desirable for the at least one projection to have a body-type construction.
- According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the at least one projection extends in the manner of a web continuously parallel to the supporting profile over its entire length. However, as an alternative, it is within the scope of the present disclosure for the projection to extend with interruptions in sections in a web-type manner parallel to the supporting profile.
- Other aspects of the present disclosure will become apparent from the following descriptions when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
-
FIGS. 1 to 7 are sectional views of various supporting profile arrangements for a façade construction for buildings, according to the present disclosure. -
FIGS. 8 a to 8 d are sectional views of a supporting profile arrangement which, as examples, in successive images schematically illustrate the time-related behavior of the supporting profile arrangement ofFIG. 1 before and after an explosion. -
FIG. 9 is a sectional view of the area of a mullion of a façade construction, according to the present disclosure. -
FIGS. 1 to 7 illustrate several embodiments of supporting profile arrangements 1 for a façade construction which, for example, with the exception of the supporting profile arrangements 1, can be constructed in the fashion of German Patent Document DE 299 19 30 U1. The embodiments have a framework formed of mullion supporting profile arrangements 1 (seeFIG. 9 concerning the basic construction) and transom supporting profile arrangements, on whichframework planar elements 4 are fixed bypressure profiles 2 by way ofseals 3. The following constructions or embodiments can be implemented on the transom supporting profile arrangements as well as on the mullion supporting profile arrangements. In the mounted condition, supportingprofiles 9 are situated on the inside relative to a planar element plane of the building and thepressure profiles 2 are situated on the outside. - As shown in
FIG. 9 , the supportingprofiles 2 have, for example, an outer contour that is trapezoidal in its sectional view and are fastened by way ofscrews 5 and slidingblocks 6 arranged on thescrews 5 in undercutdovetailed grooves 7 of the supporting profile arrangements 1. Theplanar elements 4 are held between thepressure profiles 2 and the supporting profiles 1.Cover shells 8 are locked onto thepressure profiles 2. - The supporting profile arrangement 1 of
FIG. 1 is discussed below. - On both sides of a center plane M extending perpendicularly to the plane of the drawing of
FIG. 1 , the supporting profile arrangement 1 has a mirror-symmetrical construction, which has an advantageous effect on the behavior after an explosion, but is not absolutely necessary. - Furthermore, the supporting profile arrangement 1 may have a one-piece supporting or
basic profile 9 which may be metallic and which, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, has one interior hollow chamber (seeFIGS. 1 to 3 ). According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the supportingprofile 9 has several interiorhollow chambers 10, 11 (seeFIGS. 6 , 7). When only onehollow chamber FIGS. 1 , 2, 3) which are separated from one another by webs 14 (see, for example,FIGS. 1 , 2, 3) projecting from thebasic profile 9 toward the interior. If severalhollow chambers FIGS. 6 , 7). - As shown in
FIGS. 1 to 7 , the basic or supportingprofile 9 may be constructed as one piece. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 to 7 , a sectionally rectangular reinforcingprofile 16, which may be hollow and may be metallic, is inserted in the hollow-chamber area 12 (seeFIGS. 1 to 3 ) facing away from theplanar elements 4 or into the hollow chamber 10 (seeFIGS. 4 to 7 ). - In the section of the hollow-chamber area 12 remaining between the
webs 14 and thereinforcing profile 16 and the hollow-chamber area 13 or the additionalhollow chamber 11, in each case an energy-absorbingcomponent 17 is arranged, as shown inFIGS. 1 to 4 and 6 to 7.Component 17 is designed for absorbing or absorbing by deformation kinetic energy in the event of an explosion. - Such kinetic energy is generated in that, as a result of the explosion, the
pressure profile 2 moves relative to the façade profile. In the sectional view ofFIG. 1 , in the plane perpendicular to the main dimension direction of the supporting profiles 1,component 17 is enclosed on all sides by the supportingprofile 9. As illustrated in theFIGS. 1-7 , it may also extend in a manner of a profile perpendicular to the plane of theFIGS. 1-7 . In such a case, it may be placed to be continuous or in sections. - The supporting profile arrangements 1 are constructed such that they absorb energy released during explosions inside a building or also outside a building.
- For this purpose, each of the supporting profile arrangements 1 of
FIGS. 1 to 7 has at least one or more energy-absorbingcomponents 17 which are integrated in the supportingprofiles 9 without being visible from the outside. They may be constructed in one piece with the supportingprofiles 9 or may be inserted in the latter, or may be constructed as one or as several pieces. - The energy-absorbing
components 17 are constructed such that they dampen, absorb and consume energy released during an explosion. In a supplementary fashion, at least in the case of some of the illustrated supportingprofiles 9, the latter themselves are also constructed such that they also absorb energy released during an explosion. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thecomponents 17 have twobase plates several webs 20 in one piece. - The
webs 20 may have a V-shaped or bent construction, in which case a type of predetermined buckling point is constructed at the tip of the V and the aperture angle α of the V may be, for example, larger than 0°, or, for example, may be larger than 30°. - The
base plates planar elements 4. -
Projections 21, which may form bodies projecting in the direction of the exterior side of the façade and which have a type of detent head at their tip, shown, for example, as amushroom head 22, project from thebase plate 19 situated closer to theplanar elements 4. - One or
more recesses 25 are formed on the interior side of eachwall 24 of the supportingprofiles 9, on which theplanar elements 4 rest by way of thesealing devices 3 inrecesses 23 and on which thegroove 7 is formed.Recesses 25 are designed to accommodate the detent heads, or mushroom heads 22, after an explosion but into which recesses 25 the mushroom heads 22 do not engage in the normal attaching condition of the façade to a building. - Two
walls basic profile 9, which extend perpendicularly to thewall 24, have a thinner construction in anarea 28 extending parallel next to theprojections 21 than in their other areas and, as required, may have V-shaped predetermined bucklingsections 29. - For example, the
projections 21 have a doubled-walled rhombic area designed to be absorbing energy after explosions by deformation, and a guiding and detent area shown as thedetent head 22. - Such an arrangement of
FIG. 1 is shown inFIGS. 8 a to 8 d. -
FIG. 8 a corresponds toFIG. 1 and illustrates the condition of the supporting profile arrangement 1 before an explosion. In the case of an explosion taking place outside the building, thepressure profile 2 will, among other things, by way of the slidingblock 6 in thegroove 7, press thewall 24 in the direction of the interior of the building by a force F, so that thethinner areas 28 and the possibly existing predetermined bucklingpoints 29 will yield. If, during an explosion, a relative movement between the pressure profiles 2 and the supporting profile arrangements 1 takes place in such a manner, the outer orbasic profiles 9 will buckle first in this area, whereby they will absorb some energy (seeFIGS. 8 b, 8 c). - Furthermore, a relative movement between the
wall 24 and the energy-consumingcomponent 17 is caused, which finally has the effect that the mushroom heads 22 lock into therecesses 25 provided for this purpose (seeFIG. 8 c). - After that during this process, the energy-absorbing
component 17 is compressed. Thus, thewebs 20 buckle, as shown inFIG. 8 c, whereby the twobase plates webs 20, energy is also converted or absorbed. Furthermore, theprojections 21 are also deformed, which may be constructed such, for example, double-walled, that they are shortened and deformed during the explosion and thereby also absorb energy. - Finally, as a result of the pressure ratios after the explosion, by suction, a countermovement takes place during which the
webs 20 are pulled apart and, among other things, are even broken off. A tearing-off can also take place in the area of the predetermined bucklingpoints 29 and thinner wall areas. However, the detent heads or mushroom heads 22, as a rule or often, still prevent thewall 24 from completely being torn away from the remaining profile. In this case, the interior webs orprojections 14 will hold one of thebase plates 19. In addition, they absorb energy by deformation. - The energy-absorbing
component 17 may be constructed in one or more pieces. A one-piece design may be advantageous. As required, a foam-type area or another compressible element may be constructed on thecomponent 17, and may, for example, be molded to thecomponent 17. - Thus, in the case of the energy-absorbing
component 17, instead of thewebs 20, acompressible element 30, which may be made of an elastomer, a honeycomb material, a metal foam or the like, may be arranged (not shown) between thebase plates base plates aluminum foam 30 may be expedient and advantageous (seeFIG. 5 ), so that the profile can also, alone, form the energy-absorbingcomponent 17 in sections in this manner. - In addition, when such an
element 30 is used, one of the twobase plates FIG. 3 ) and theelement 30 can be arranged directly on the one remainingbase plate 19. - The
base plate 19 situated in the direction of thewebs 14 may remain in the construction.FIG. 2 shows such an arrangement. Otherwise, the method of operation corresponds largely to that ofFIG. 8 , in which case, theelement 30 is, however, first compressed and then expanded. - According to
FIG. 3 , no detent heads 22 are implemented that can engage in detent recesses 25 when an explosion takes place but small web-type projections 31 on the twobase plates compressible element 30 and cannot engage in a locking manner in correspondingrecesses 32 in the, for example,double wall 24 but could engage there at least in a guiding or even clamping manner. As a result, the detent effect ofFIG. 1 is eliminated. However, it is within the scope of the present disclosure to screw ascrew 35 through thewall 24 into theelements FIG. 8 c (see alsoFIG. 3 ). The projections with the mushroom heads 22 will then not be necessary (seeFIG. 3 ). - As shown in
FIG. 4 , thechamber 13 is filled by an energy-absorbingcomponent 17 which includes a compressible material. - When metal foam is used, it can, in one piece, form a portion of the metal profile (see
FIG. 5 ). Also, in the case of the embodiments ofFIGS. 4 and 5 , during the compression of thecomponents 17, which are constructed here ascompressible elements - As shown in
FIG. 6 , an energy-absorbingcomponent chamber 11, whichcomponent wall 24 but also in the direction of the separating wall 15 (seeFIG. 5 ).
