Description
Fastening system for thermally-interrupted interconnecting structural elements
Introduction
The invention relates to a fastening system for thermally- interrupted interconnecting structural elements.
In particular, the invention relates to a fastening system for thermally-interrupted fastening an inner shell of a building to an outer shell of a building.
More particularly, the invention relates to a fastening system for thermally-interrupted connecting structural members of an inner shell to structural elements of an outer shell of a structure.
More in particular, the invention relates to a fastening system for connecting structural elements of the cold outer shell of a building to structural elements of the warm inner shell of a building. This
embodiment is used, for example, when a structure is build such as a house, apartment building, industrial building, public building, garage, shed, barn, etc. to improve their thermal insulation.
Said fastening systems and their use are already well known and belong to the state of the art. Said fastening systems are usually entirely made of metal and have the disadvantage that they are not thermally- interrupted, and therefore cause a thermal bridge to be created wherever they are used.
DE 198 54 162 A1 (Einsiedler, 1999) discloses a fastening system for vibration-dampened interconnecting two wall parts, for example for mounting a false ceiling. However, this fastening system is not designed as a thermal insulating system, for example because the insulating material is not provided over substantially the entire length of the inner profile.
Description of the invention
The object of the invention is to provide a fastening system having a thermal interruption for thermally-interrupted interconnecting structural elements, preferably at least two structural elements, in particular structural elements of an inner shell with structural elements of an outer shell of a structure.
For this purpose, the fastening system according to the invention is characterized in that the fastening system comprises an inner profile and an outer profile which are shaped such that the inner profile fits in the outer profile without contacting the outer profile and such that
compartments are formed between said inner profile and said outer profile, wherein insulation material is provided in the compartments over substantially the entire length of the inner profile, which functions as a thermal interruption and as a mechanical connection between said outer profile and said inner profile, wherein one of said outer profile and inner profile is formed to connect with a structural element of the outer shell and wherein another of said outer profile and inner profile is formed to connect with a structural element of the inner shell. This allows, for example, to connect various structural elements of the cold outer shell of a building to various structural elements of the warm inner shell of a building without creating thermal bridges.
Preferably, the inner and outer profiles, each independently of each other, are made of plastic, metal, wood, or any other material that provides sufficient rigidity to ensure the mechanical connection.
Preferably, said inner profile and said outer profile have a cross section formed as a regular N-polygon where N is a natural number over 2, and wherein said inner profile and outer profile are shaped such that the inner profile fits into the outer profile without contacting each other when the inner profile is rotated over 180/N degrees relative to the outer profile. The advantage of using such profiles is that they are quickly, easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
Preferably, said insulating material comprises rubber profiles. The advantage of using rubber is that rubber combines a good elasticity with a strong mechanical strength. In addition, rubber also has a good insulation value. By applying the insulating material over substantially the entire length of the inner profile, the optimal mechanical strength is obtained. The insulating material can also be applied as several distinct parts, for example as two or more partial profiles.
Preferably, the insulating material has a circular cross section before inserting. The insulation material is preferably inserted by pressing, for example during insertion (sliding) of the inner profile in the outer profile.
Preferably, said inner profile and said outer profile have a cross section which is quadrangular . For qadrangular profiles are easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
In one embodiment of the invention, the outer shell of a building is defined as those structural elements that comprise the outer hull of the building and hence, which that are exposed to climatic effects such as cold. Therefore, this outer shell is also called the cold outside shell.
In one embodiment of the invention, the outer shell of a building comprises a wall of said building, preferably an outer wall of said building, i.e. the wall located on the outside of a building and one side of which is in contact with the outside air.
In one embodiment of the invention, the inner shell of a building is defined as those structural elements that form the inner hull of the building. Typically, this inner shell is not affected by the climatic effects such as cold, and is typically heated. Therefore, the inner shell is also called the warm inner shell.
In one embodiment of the invention, the inner shell of a building comprises a wall of said building, preferably an inner wall of said building, i.e. the wall located on the inside of a building and one side of which is in contact with a - preferably heated - interior space.
Since the inner shell and the outer shell are separated by the insulation of the building, the inner shell temperature will adopt the temperature of the inside of the building and hence, will be warm, and the outer shell will adopt the temperature of the outside environment and will therefore be cold.
It may be clear that the invention can also be applied in another embodiment. For example, according to a further embodiment, the invention relates to a fastening system for interconnecting two structural elements of two walls that need to be thermally insulated from each other. This embodiment is used, for example, in the construction of a structure such as a cold store, sauna, etc. In this case, the inner shell is the wall one side of which is in contact with a first space and the outer shell is the wall one side of which is in contact with a second space, such that a temperature difference can be maintained between the first and the second space.
In one embodiment of the invention, an inner shell and/or an outer shell comprise construction elements which may each individually and independently from each other substantially be made of any known material, preferably a building material such as stone, concrete, plastic, wood, glass, clay, plaster, etc..
In one embodiment of the invention, a structural element comprises a brick, a concrete block, a natural stone, a ceramic tile, a glass tile, a concrete foundation, a concrete floor element, a floor tile, a metal column, a wooden column, a concrete ceiling element, a false ceiling, a wooden beam, a metal bar, a drywall, etc.. In a preferred embodiment, the inner shell and/or the outer shell are substantially made of stone.
In one embodiment of the invention, the inner shell and/or outer shell are interrupted by openings, for example a door, window, ventilation openings, etc.
In one embodiment of the invention, the inner shell and/or the outer shell substantially comprise structural elements in a substantially vertical position, which together form a wall, for example, bricks, wooden planks, metal columns, wooden posts, etc.
In one embodiment of the invention, the inner shell stands free from the outer shell, or at least they do not make thermal contact over a large surface of said shells, for example over less than 5 % of the surface of both shells. In one embodiment, there is a hollow cavity between the two shells, with air acting as a thermal insulator, or the cavity between the two shells is at least partially filled with a thermally insulating material such as rock wool, etc..
To ensure the mechanical fastening even further, the fastening system of the invention may comprise at least a safety means, such as a locking pin, screw, etc. This safety means can be applied through said outer profile and inner profile, for example by screwing a screw or hitting a pin through said inner profile and outer profile, for example on a locally weakened spot in the outer profiles and in the inner profile, or by a pin through corresponding holes in the respective inner and outer profile which have been prepared in advance. Preferably, the safety means is applied after application of the fastening system between the inner shell and outer shell of a building because, in that way, the fastening system can be fitted tailor made. However, the safety means can also be applied in advance, for example, to prepare a set of fastening means in advance and ready for use.
The respective outer profile and inner profile can be connected with respectively the outer shell and inner shell of a building by means of any fastening means or a combination of fastening means, known to the skilled person. Preferably, said inner profile and said outer profile each comprise at least one fastening means which allows screwing, nailing, or bolting, or incorporating, for example, by means of masonry or concrete,
the end of said inner profile and said outer profile into one or more of the inner shell and outer shell. For incorporating the end of each profile, it may have a form that supports anchoring the profile in the shell, such as a dovetail, a protrusion, a hole, a corner, etc..
The invention will now be described using an embodiment shown in the drawings. This embodiment should not be seen as limiting the invention which is solely determined by the appended claims. Example
In the drawings :
Figure 1 shows the fastening system as an exploded view, and Figure 2 shows the fastening system as a composition, as it is actually used.
In the drawings the same or analogous element is assigned the same reference numeral.
The fastening system consists of two parts 1 and 2. These two parts are each provided with two profiles 3 and 4. These profiles may be round-shaped, preferably these profiles have a cross section in the form of a regular polygon, more preferably, they are quadrangular. The dimensions of these profiles are chosen such that they fit together in such a way that there is no contact between the two profiles while having an angular displacement of, for quadrangular profiles, 45 ° relative to each other. The four compartments that arise between the two profiles 3 and 4 are used to fit with four rubber profiles 5. The rubber profiles 5 function as thermal interruption between the two profiles 3 and 4 and also ensure a strong mechanical fastening between these two profiles 3 and 4.
Preferably, as abutment, a small plastic disc 6 is also inserted. In this way, the backside of the inner profile 4 is also thermally insulated.
These two parts 1 and 2 which are pressed together by means of rubber profiles 5 into one compressed assembly, each have fastening means 7 and 8. The drawing only shows one possible fastening means.
In practice, various fastening means are possible. These different fastening means are known by the skilled person. It is now possible to connect said compressed assembly on the one side to the construction elements of the warm inner shell and to the structural elements of the cold outer shell of a building.
The structure of this fastening system may also comprise several stages. This means that the system is not limited to an inner profile and outer profile, but may comprise an intermediate profile, such that the system may comprise a total of three or more profiles, which are pressed together in a similar way as described above. Hence, the first outer profile functions also as the inner profile for the subsequent outer profile, etc. The advantage of the fastening system with multiple stages is that the insulation value is increased with each added stage.
