Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a wall system comprising a prefabricated wall. The present invention further relates to a method for constructing a wall system.
[0002] Wall systems comprising prefabricated walls are increasingly being used in the construction of houses and timber structures. A prefabricated wall is a wall that is prefabricated in a factory and transported to the construction site as a complete building element. Such prefabricated walls are part of a prefabricated construction, in which various building elements are industrially prefabricated and then assembled on-site to form a building. The prefabricated wall can comprise different materials and designs, depending on the specific requirements of the construction project. When wood is used, such constructions of houses and prefabricated walls are also referred to as timber frame construction, or timber stud construction or timber panel construction. One advantage of timber frame construction is the rapid construction time. Timber frames, also referred to as prefabricated walls, can be prefabricated in a factory and then quickly assembled on site, which can significantly shorten the construction time of houses.Timber frame construction is also lightweight and flexible, allowing for a wide variety of design options and designs, making it relatively easy to build custom-designed homes. Since a house constructed using timber frame construction is also sustainable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective, the demand for timber-framed homes is increasing.
[0003] When constructing prefabricated buildings such as timber houses, an installation site, such as a floor slab, a building platform, or a foundation, for example in the form of a concrete foundation, is usually first created, onto which the prefabricated timber frame construction elements, usually in the form of timber frame walls or prefabricated prefabricated walls, are anchored. The installation site, e.g., a floor slab, often exhibits significant height variations and unevenness within its base area. Therefore, the activity of leveling is of central importance on a construction site. In the context of prefabricated construction, especially timber construction, leveling can be understood in particular as the following two aspects: A: Determination of the absolute height of a prefabricated wall or multiple prefabricated walls. B: Horizontal alignment of at least one prefabricated wall by adjusting the height between the prefabricated wall and the floor slab.
[0004] This challenging and time-consuming leveling task is typically accomplished by placing a horizontal beam, also known as a mounting sill, on the floor slab and then securing it to the floor slab. Leveling is achieved using shims, for example, which are positioned with the aid of a spirit level so that the mounting sill is horizontal. In a subsequent step, the prefabricated wall is then placed on the mounting sill and secured to the mounting sill and / or the floor slab.
[0005] Such known connecting elements and connecting systems for fastening wooden structures such as prefabricated walls or timber frame construction elements therefore have the disadvantage that time-consuming preparatory work is required, that this preparatory work has to be carried out on the construction site, and that the preparatory work is particularly demanding when a large number of prefabricated walls have to be arranged and fastened on a floor slab, in particular a very uneven floor slab.
[0006] Document EP2738401B1 discloses a quick-assembly element that allows for the rapid fastening of prefabricated walls at an installation location. These quick-assembly elements are typically embedded in the prefabricated wall at the factory. At the installation site, threaded rods, for example in the form of anchor bolts, are inserted into the substructure before the prefabricated wall is installed. The prefabricated walls are then lowered into the installation site so that the threaded rods engage and are held in place by the quick-assembly elements. However, such quick-assembly elements have the disadvantage that the quick-assembly element and threaded rod can only be connected once, which means that this connection can subsequently no longer be removed or can only be removed with great effort. Subsequent corrections and adjustments to prefabricated walls attached in this way are therefore no longer possible or only possible with considerable effort.A nut screwed onto a thread is used to adjust the height. Turning this nut is extremely cumbersome and therefore time-consuming. Furthermore, the load-bearing capacity of these quick-assembly elements is limited, requiring the use of additional quick-assembly elements to support heavier prefabricated walls.
[0007] US7594367B2 discloses a connecting structure for a block wall; a plurality of connectors held within the wall adjacent the edge surface of the wall; a plurality of fastener access passages in the wall, each fastener access passage extending between a respective connector and the edge surface of the wall; and a plurality of fasteners, each fastener extending through a respective fastener access passage and having a first end connected to a respective connector and a second end opposite the first end, the second end extending beyond the edge surface of the wall.
[0008] Based on the cited prior art, the present invention is based on the object of at least reducing these and other disadvantages of the prior art and, in particular, of specifying a wall system comprising prefabricated walls and a method for constructing a wall system comprising prefabricated walls, which allows a simpler and more efficient construction of wall systems comprising prefabricated walls.
[0009] This object is achieved by a wall system and a method for constructing a wall system having the features of independent claims 1 and 13. Advantageous embodiments and further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
[0010] The object is achieved with a wall system comprising a prefabricated wall and a plurality of fastening devices, wherein the prefabricated wall is connected to an installation location in the form of a building platform or a foundation by means of a plurality of fastening devices, wherein the prefabricated wall is provided with a recess for each of the fastening devices, wherein each of the fastening devices comprises a mounting element, a fastening element and a locking element, wherein the mounting element has a longitudinal axis and, in the direction of the longitudinal axis, a first sub-section and then a second sub-section, wherein the mounting element has an inner bore with an internal thread, which extends concentrically to the longitudinal axis and is preferably designed as a blind hole, along the first sub-section, and wherein the mounting element has a transverse bore extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis in the region of the second sub-section,wherein the fastening element preferably protrudes beyond the installation location, wherein the fastening element comprises an external thread which is screwed into the internal bore, wherein the mounting element is arranged in the associated recess and the prefabricated wall preferably rests on the mounting element, and wherein the locking element extends through the transverse bore of the mounting element and at least partially through the prefabricated wall.
[0011] The object is further achieved with a method for creating a wall system in which a prefabricated wall having a recess is created, in which a plurality of fastening elements comprising external threads are anchored at predetermined installation locations in such a way that the external threads, preferably running in the vertical direction, protrude beyond the installation locations, in which a mounting element is screwed onto the respective external thread by rotating it about its longitudinal axis and, by rotating it, each mounting element is adjusted to a predetermined height, in which the prefabricated wall is lowered until the mounting elements come to rest at least partially in the corresponding recess, and in which a locking element is inserted through the transverse bore of the mounting element and at least partially through the prefabricated wall, so that the prefabricated wall is firmly connected to the installation location via the fastening device.The installation location is a construction platform or foundation, and the fastening elements are anchored in the installation location in a torsion-proof manner.
[0012] The prefabricated wall preferably has a prepared bore for receiving the locking element, wherein this bore is arranged such that the inserted locking element extends both through this bore and through the transverse bore of the mounting element. The diameter of the locking element and the bore are preferably designed to be mutually adapted such that a positive connection is created between the locking element and the prefabricated wall, and preferably also between the locking element and the mounting element. In a further embodiment, the bore for receiving the locking element could also be created on site, preferably after the prefabricated wall has been lowered onto the mounting element.
[0013] The wall system according to the invention has the advantage that all necessary work steps for erecting the wall system, including prefabricated walls, for example timber-frame walls, or the construction of the prefabricated structure at the installation site, are carried out efficiently, cost-effectively, and reliably, with the ability to make corrections at any time. When erecting the wall system on site, precise positioning and leveling of the prefabricated walls, as well as their correct anchoring, are of key importance. When erecting the wall system according to the invention, in a first step, fastening elements comprising an external thread are anchored in a substrate such that the external threads protrude above the substrate. The fastening elements with an external thread, which are firmly and immovably anchored on or in the substrate, are designed as threaded fastening elements comprising at least one threaded rod.The threaded fastener can be designed, for example, as a pure threaded rod, or also as a screw, a threaded anchor, or a threaded dowel. The threaded fastener could also be designed, for example, as a combination of flange and threaded rod, with the threaded rod firmly connected to the flange, and the flange securely fastened to the substrate using anchoring devices such as screws. Such a fastener with an external thread is firmly and immovably anchored in the substrate, so that the external thread is non-rotatably fixed in the substrate once the fastener is anchored.The fastening element can be firmly fixed to the installation location, for example, concrete or wood, using various anchoring techniques, such as epoxy resin, injection mortar, special mortar, dowels, direct casting, or mechanical anchoring systems, so that the fastening element is anchored in the installation location in a rotationally fixed and immovable manner. The fastening element is preferably designed as a single threaded rod, particularly preferably with a continuous external thread.
[0014] The external thread protruding above the substrate, or the threaded rod of the fastening element protruding above the substrate, particularly preferably runs in a vertical direction. The external threads of all anchored fastening elements preferably run in a vertical direction.
[0015] Such fastening elements, for example designed as bolt anchors, are very easy to position and fasten into the substrate. Mounting elements are then screwed onto the protruding external threads. The mounting elements advantageously comprise an at least partially cylindrical outer contour, preferably with a diameter such that the mounting element fits comfortably in the hand and can thus be easily rotated with the fingers or by hand. The absolute height of each mounting element, or the distance between the surface of the installation location and the mounting element, can be individually adjusted by rotating the mounting element around its longitudinal axis. The mounting elements preferably serve as a support for the prefabricated wall, so that the height adjustment of the individual mounting elements ultimately determines the height adjustment or leveling of the entire prefabricated wall.
[0016] Once all the mounting elements assigned to a prefabricated wall have been installed, the prefabricated wall can be lowered. The prefabricated wall has recesses at its lower edge to at least partially accommodate the mounting elements. The prefabricated wall is preferably lowered until it rests on the mounting elements and is supported by them. After this step, you can check again whether all the mounting elements are in the desired position. Otherwise, the prefabricated wall can be raised again and the height of the mounting element adjusted by rotating it accordingly.Once the prefabricated wall is satisfactorily resting on the mounting elements, their mutual connection is secured by inserting locking elements, preferably in the form of dowel rods, through the prefabricated wall and through the mounting element, so that the prefabricated wall is secured, in particular, against lifting, in particular vertical upward displacement, and, by absorbing compressive forces, preferably also against vertical downward displacement. If necessary, the height of the prefabricated wall can be adjusted again even in this state by removing the locking elements again, raising the prefabricated wall again, and correcting its height by rotating the corresponding mounting elements. The prefabricated wall is then lowered again, and the locking element is reinserted.The wall system according to the invention therefore has the advantage that the height can be easily corrected or subsequently adjusted. The wall system according to the invention also has the advantage that there is no need for a previously installed mounting threshold, on which the prefabricated wall could subsequently be built, since the wall system according to the invention allows for easy height adjustment and any necessary corrections to the height setting or the inclination relative to the horizontal. Eliminating the mounting threshold reduces construction costs and also allows for better anchoring of the prefabricated walls. Advantageously, the cross-bore of the mounting element, the diameter of the locking element and the bore in the prefabricated wall for receiving the locking element orthe diameter of the locking channel is designed to be mutually adapted in such a way that the prefabricated wall is connected to the locking element via the locking channel in a form-fitting manner, or essentially without play, or preferably at least without play in the vertical direction.
[0017] The mounting element is preferably designed to transmit larger forces acting between the prefabricated wall and the fastening element, wherein the mounting element has a first longitudinal section which can be screwed onto the external thread, wherein the first longitudinal section has a wall thickness dimensioned accordingly for transmitting the forces, and wherein the mounting element has a second longitudinal section which has a transverse bore for receiving the locking element and which is also dimensioned or designed accordingly for transmitting the acting forces.
[0018] Particularly advantageously, the mounting element has a protruding support part at one end, the end opposite the transverse bore, which is preferably designed in a flange-like manner, with the prefabricated wall preferably resting on this support part at least during assembly. This design of the mounting element also has the advantage that the assembled prefabricated wall can also have very low heights or a very short distance from the substructure.
[0019] The mounting element is preferably made in one piece and is preferably made of metal or a fiber-reinforced plastic.
[0020] In an advantageous embodiment, the mounting element has a coupling point or a tool engagement point to which, for example, a measuring device, e.g., a prism, can be attached. This allows the height of the mounting element to be measured, for example, with a tachymeter, and then adjusted to the desired height of the mounting element. The height can be adjusted manually or automatically via a corresponding drive of the mounting element.

They show: Fig. 1 a longitudinal section along the section line AA through the wall system according to the invention; Fig. 2 a side view of a part of the wall system according to Fig. 1 ; Fig. 3 shows a partial cross-section along the section line BB through the wall system according to Fig. 2; Fig. 4 a perspective view of a first embodiment of a mounting element; Fig. 5 a longitudinal section through the mounting element according to Fig. 4 ; Fig. 6 a cross section through the mounting element according to Fig. 5 along the section line CC; Fig. 7 a cross section through the mounting element according to Fig. 5 along the section line DD; Fig. 8 a perspective view of another embodiment of a mounting element; Fig. 9 a longitudinal section through the mounting element according to Fig. 8 , wherein this is mounted at the installation location; Fig. 10 a perspective view of a further embodiment of a mounting element; Fig. 11 a side view of a further embodiment of a mounting element; Fig. 12 a plan view of a further embodiment of a mounting element, partly in section.
[0022] The Figures 1 to 3show an embodiment of a wall system 1 according to the invention comprising a prefabricated wall 10 and a plurality of fastening devices 2, wherein each of the fastening devices 2 comprises a mounting element 3, a fastening element 4 and a locking element 5. Figure 1 shows a longitudinal section through the wall system 1 along the section line AA according to Figure 3 , whereby the fastening element 4 is not shown as a section. In the section shown according to Figure 1the prefabricated wall 10 is supported and held by two fastening devices 2. However, additional fastening devices 2 could also be arranged to support the prefabricated wall 10. In addition, several prefabricated walls 10 could also be arranged and supported by fastening devices 2. Each of the fastening elements 4 shown is firmly, preferably torsionally fixed, connected to the installation location 20, for example a concrete slab, via a first fastening section 4b. The connection between the fastening element 4 or the first fastening section 4b and the installation location 20 is not shown in detail and could, for example, be made by means of a screw connection or by means of an adhesive connection. The fastening element 4 comprises a second fastening section 4c having an external thread 4a. The second fastening section 4c runs vertically upwards.The mounting element 3 comprises an inner bore 3d with an inner thread 3e adapted to the outer thread 4a, such that the mounting element 3 can be screwed onto the outer thread 4a by rotating it about its longitudinal axis and can thereby be fastened to the fastening element 4. By rotating or screwing the mounting element 3 onto the outer thread 4a, the distance between the first fastening section 4b and the mounting element 3 is changed, or the penetration depth of the second fastening section 4c into the inner bore 3d is changed, such that by correspondingly rotating the mounting element 3 about its longitudinal axis, the distance of the mounting element 3 with respect to the first fastening section 4b or the distance between the mounting element 3 and the surface of the installation location 20 can be adjusted. As can be seen from . Figure 1 As can be seen, the surface of the installation location 20 may be uneven, wherein the mounting elements 3 are preferably as in Figure 1 shown in such a way that both mounting elements 3 have the same absolute height in the horizontal direction, and thereby form, for example, a preferably horizontally extending stop for a lower edge 10e of the prefabricated wall 10, so that the lower edge 10e of the prefabricated wall 10 runs horizontally. Such an adjustment of the height of the individual mounting elements 3 is also referred to as so-called leveling, because it adjusts both the height and the course of the prefabricated wall 10 with respect to the horizontal.
[0023] Before the assembly of the prefabricated wall 10 takes place, the fastening elements 4 are connected to the installation location in preparatory steps, and in a subsequent step, the mounting elements 3 are screwed onto the respective fastening elements 4 and adjusted to a predetermined height by appropriate turning. As can be seen from Figure 1As can be seen, the prefabricated wall 10 has a prepared recess 10a for receiving a mounting element 3, wherein the mounting location of the fastening devices 2 and the positioning of the recess 10a in the wall 10 are arranged in such a way that the prefabricated wall 10 can be lowered after the height of the individual mounting elements 3 has been adjusted, and in the process one mounting element 3 comes to lie in each associated recess 10a, so that the prefabricated wall 10 is supported by the mounting elements 3 after lowering.
[0024] Preferably, as in Figure 9shown, holes 20a for the fastening elements 4 are created at the installation location 20 based on a predetermined or calculated drilling plan, wherein these holes for the fastening elements 4 are positioned and drilled manually or preferably automatically at the installation location 20, and wherein the height H of the individual mounting elements 3 is preferably adjusted based on a height plan, either manually or preferably automatically via a drive device acting on the mounting element 3, which rotates the mounting element 3 accordingly.
[0025] In the illustrated embodiment, each mounting element 3 comprises a flange-shaped, projecting support part 3i with a support surface 3k, wherein these support parts 3i can support the prefabricated wall 10 via its lower edge 10e resting on the support part 3i. Preferably, the prefabricated wall 10 is supported only by the support parts 3i after lowering. However, the recess 10a can also be designed such that it forms a second support surface 10f at the base, so that after lowering the prefabricated wall 10, the upper end faces 3a of the mounting elements 3 rest against the second support surface 10f and thereby support the prefabricated wall 10. After lowering, the prefabricated wall 10 is thus preferably supported either predominantly or entirely via the support parts 3i, predominantly or entirely via the upper end face 3a, or via a combination of support parts 3i and upper end faces 3a.
[0026] After the prefabricated wall 10 has been lowered onto the mounting elements 3, a locking element 5 extending through the mounting element 3 and the prefabricated wall 10 is then inserted to secure the prefabricated wall 10, in particular against lifting off the mounting element 3, or to connect the prefabricated wall 10 to the installation location 20 with the aid of the fastening device 2. The locking element 5 can also, if advantageous, be arranged and connected to the prefabricated wall 10 in such a way that it at least partially or even completely supports the prefabricated wall 10, and thus absorbs the downward compressive forces acting from the prefabricated wall 10. If the prefabricated wall 10 is completely supported by the locking elements 5, this means that the prefabricated wall 10 no longer rests load-bearing on the upper end face 3a or no longer on the support surface 3k.
[0027] Figure 2 shows a side view of the wall system 1 according to Figure 1, whereby the fastening elements 4 are only partially shown. Figure 2 shows, in dashed lines, the recesses 10a prefabricated in the prefabricated wall 10, in which the mounting element 3 is arranged, whereby only the support part 3i of the mounting element 3 is shown. The prefabricated wall 10 comprises an associated locking channel 10b for each recess 10a, through which the locking element 5 runs or can be inserted. The locking element 5 is preferably rod-shaped, for example, designed as a rod dowel.
[0028] As can be seen from the Figures 1 and 3 As can be seen, the mounting element 3 has a transverse bore 3g provided for receiving the locking element 5. Figure 3 shows a section through the wall system along the section line BB according to Figure 2 , whereby the mounting element 3 and the locking element 5 are not shown in section. As can be seen from Figure 3As can be seen, the prefabricated wall 10 is connected to the mounting element 3 by means of the rod-shaped locking element 5, which runs through the locking channel 10b and the transverse bore 3g of the mounting element 3.
[0029] Preferably, the locking channels 10b are already created during the manufacture of the prefabricated wall 10. The locking channels 10b are preferably arranged in such a way that when the prefabricated wall 10 is lowered onto the mounting elements 3 and rests on them, the transverse bore 3g of the respective mounting element 3 is aligned with the associated locking channel 10b, so that the locking element 5 can be easily inserted into the prefabricated wall 10 and the transverse bore 3g, and the locking element 5, after its insertion, Figure 3shown position, and the prefabricated wall is thus securely connected to the installation location 20 via the fastening device 2. However, the locking channel 10b could also be created after the prefabricated wall 10 has been placed on the mounting element 3. Since the distance between the support part 3i and the cross hole 3g is predetermined for the mounting element 3, the position of the cross hole 3g can be adjusted as shown in Figure 2 As can be seen, starting from the support part 3i, it can be easily determined and marked on the outer surface of the prefabricated wall 10, for example, and then the locking channel 10b can be drilled into the prefabricated wall 10.
[0030] The Figures 4 to 7show various views of a further embodiment of a mounting element 3. The mounting element 3 is cylindrical, has a longitudinal axis L, and also has an upper end face 3a, a lower end face 3b, a side surface 3c, and a transverse bore 3g. With these mounting elements 3, a prefabricated wall 10 rests solely on the upper end faces 3a of the mounting elements 3 after it has been lowered. As shown in Figure 5As shown, the mounting element 3 has a first section L1 and then a second section L2 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L. The mounting element 3 has, along the first section L1, an inner bore 3d configured as a blind hole with an internal thread 3e, which extends concentrically to the longitudinal axis L, the first section L1 having an outer wall 3h along the blind hole. In the region of the second section L2, the mounting element 3 has a transverse bore 3g extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L. Figure 6 shows a cross section through Figure 5along the section line CC. In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting element 3 has two transverse bores 3g that run perpendicular to one another or are offset by 90 degrees in the circumferential direction. However, the mounting element 3 could also have only a single transverse bore 3g, or, for example, additional transverse bores, e.g., three transverse bores each offset by 60 degrees in the circumferential direction. If necessary, the diameter of the transverse bores 3g must be reduced so that the connection points 3m of the mounting element 3 have sufficiently high mechanical strength. Figure 7 shows along the section line DD according to Figure 5 a cross-section through the first section L1 of the mounting element 3, with inner bore 3d and side wall 3h.
[0031] One task of the assembly element 3 is to reliably transmit the forces acting on the prefabricated wall 10 to the fastening element 4 over the long term. It must be taken into account that later, after assembly, a wide variety of forces, some of which are considerable, for example caused by acting winds or snow pressure, can act on the prefabricated wall 10 and which must be reliably transmitted to the fastening element 4. Depending on the situation, these forces can in particular be impact, tensile, shear, or alternating forces. The fastening device 2 and in particular the assembly element 3 are therefore preferably designed such that such forces can be transmitted without damaging the assembly element 3. The first sub-section L1 essentially serves to transmit forces between the assembly element 3 and the second fastening section 4c designed as a threaded rod.The second sub-section L2 serves, among other things, to transmit forces between the locking element 5 held in the transverse bore 3g and the mounting element 3. In a preferred embodiment, the locking element 5 in all exemplary embodiments, preferably designed as a rod dowel, has a length in the range of 4 to 10 times the outer diameter D2 of the mounting element 3. This locking element 5, which may be relatively long under certain circumstances, can exert considerable forces, in particular also a considerable torque, on the mounting element 3. A mechanically robust mounting element 3 can, for example, be produced as shown in FIGS. Figures 3 to 7shown, can be achieved in that the mounting element 3 is made of a cylindrical solid body, in which the inner bore 3d designed as a blind bore and the one or two transverse bores 3g are embedded. Preferably, the outer diameter D2 of the mounting element 3 is at least twice as large as the inner diameter D1 of the inner bore 3d, in order to thereby achieve a sufficient thickness of the side wall 3h to reliably transmit forces from the mounting element 3 to the second fastening section 4c of the fastening element 4. Preferably, the inner diameter D1 is in a range between 6 and 12 mm, preferably between 8 and 10 mm. The inner bore 3d does not open into the transverse bore 3g but is, as in Figure 5shown as a blind hole, which is why the second section L2 is not weakened by the inner bore 3d. Preferably, the mounting element 3 has a continuous transverse bore 3g, wherein at least the downwardly oriented underside 3o of the transverse bore 3g runs along its entire length as a continuous line or surface, i.e., is designed without interruption. The underside 3o thus runs continuously in a straight line from the inlet opening of the transverse bore 3g to its outlet opening of the transverse bore 3g, as in Figure 5This embodiment has the advantage that a locking element 5 extending through the transverse bore 3g can rest on the mounting element 3, preferably along the entire length of the underside 3o. This embodiment has the advantage that the locking element 5 can bear a large load without the locking element and / or the mounting element 3 being deformed or damaged, particularly in the region of the transverse bore 3g.
[0032] Advantageously, the upper side 3p of the transverse bore 3g, which is oriented upwards, is also designed as a continuous line or surface along its entire length, i.e., without interruption. The upper side 3p thus runs continuously in a straight line from the inlet opening of the transverse bore 3g to its outlet opening, as shown in Figure 5This embodiment has the advantage that a locking element 5 extending through the transverse bore 3g can preferably bear against the mounting element 3 along the entire length of the upper side 3p when an upward force acts on the prefabricated wall 10. This embodiment has the advantage that the locking element 5 can transmit large forces to the mounting element 3 without the locking element and / or the mounting element 3 being deformed or damaged, particularly in the region of the transverse bore 3g.
[0033] Preferably, the distance between the end of the blind hole and the transverse bore 3g is at least a quarter of the inner diameter D1. The diameter of the transverse bore 3g is preferably selected such that the sum of all connection points 3m forms at least a quarter of the total area defined by the outer diameter D2. This ensures that the expected forces introduced by the locking element 5 via the transverse bore 3g cause no or only minor damage to the first subsection L1.
[0034] In a further embodiment, however, the inner bore 3d could also extend into the transverse bore 3g, so that the inner bore is not designed as a blind hole and the inner bore 3d is thus connected to the transverse bore 3g. However, this embodiment has the disadvantage that the underside 3o of the transverse bore 3g has an opening or interruption caused by the inner bore 3d, which weakens the load-bearing capacity of the underside 3o and the overall stability of the second subsection L2. In addition, when screwing the mounting element 3 onto the second fastening section 4c, this fastening section 4c could protrude at least partially into the interior of the transverse bore 3g, thereby hindering the insertion of the locking element 5 into the transverse bore 3g.
[0035] As can be seen from the Figures 1 to 3As can be seen, in order to insert the locking element 5 into the prefabricated wall 10 lowered onto the mounting elements 3, the mounting element 3 must be arranged in such a way that the openings of the transverse bore 3g are aligned with the respective wall outer surface 10d, so that in combination with the existing or still to be formed locking channel 10b a through opening for inserting the locking element 5 is created. Figures 4 to 7The illustrated embodiment of the mounting element with two transverse bores 3g arranged offset by 90 degrees in the circumferential direction has the advantage that only a quarter turn of the mounting element 3 is required to realign the transverse bore 3g in such a way that the transverse bore 3g is aligned with the respective wall outer surface 10d when the prefabricated wall 10 is lowered. Due to the threads 3e, 4a, when the mounting element 3 is rotated, the height of the mounting element 3 relative to the fastening element 4 is changed, whereby the existing thread pitch of the threads 3e, 4a ultimately determines the height change during rotation. The thread pitch is preferably selected such that a rotation of 360° results in a height change in the range of 0.5 mm to 2 mm, preferably 0.8 mm. The Figures 4 to 7The illustrated embodiment of a mounting element 3 has the advantage that the height or the mutual position of the mounting element with respect to the fastening element 4 can be adjusted very precisely and in small steps, ie the smallest step is a rotation of the mounting element 3 by 90°, which preferably corresponds to a height change of 0.2 mm. The height or the distance of the mounting element 3 from the surface of the installation location 20 can thus be adjusted very precisely. In a further advantageous embodiment, the mounting element 3 could also have only a single transverse bore 3g, so that for the smallest step of the height adjustment a rotation of the mounting element 3 by 180° would be necessary.
[0036] Figure 8 shows in a perspective view the preferred, also in Figure 1 The only difference to the embodiment according to the Figures 4 to 7 The mounting element 3 has Figure 8 Immediately following the cylindrical section, a flange-like projecting support part 3i forms a support surface 3k. Preferably, the support part 3i forms one end of the mounting element 3 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L. The support part 3i is preferably circular in the circumferential direction and concentric to the longitudinal axis L, but could also be arranged eccentrically to the longitudinal axis L and / or could have any desired shape in the circumferential direction, for example rectangular or square, in order to thereby form, for example, a larger or better adapted support surface 3k for the prefabricated wall 10. The support part 3i can be designed as a separate part which is firmly connected to the remaining mounting element 3. Particularly advantageously, the mounting element 3 comprising the support part 3i is designed in one piece or in one piece, for example by manufacturing it from a single base body. Figures 8 and 9 The embodiment of the mounting element 3 shown has the advantage that the forces of the prefabricated wall 10 acting on the support surface 10c can be easily transferred to the second fastening section 4c via the threads 3e and 4a. Figures 8 and 9 The illustrated embodiment of the mounting element 3 has the further advantage that the minimum height H, i.e., the minimum distance of the lower edge 10e of the prefabricated wall 10 relative to the surface of the installation location 20, can be set very small and essentially corresponds to the vertical thickness of the support part 3i. With the aid of the mounting element 3, the height H can therefore be adjusted or varied within a relatively wide range.
[0037] Figure 9 shows the mounting element 3 according to Figure 8connected to a fastening element 4, which is anchored in a bore 20a in the installation location 20. The fastening element 4 has a first fastening section 4b (not shown in detail) and a second fastening section 4c. The fastening element 4 is designed, for example, as an anchor screw, a bolt anchor or a concrete screw, each comprising an external thread 4a. The fastening element is fastened, preferably non-rotatably, in the bore 20a with the fastening section 4b, e.g. with the anchor of the anchor screw, wherein the fastening element 4, and in particular the second fastening section 4c, preferably runs in a vertical direction as shown. The fastening element 4 is preferably designed as a threaded rod having an external thread 4a in the second fastening section 4c.The entire fastening element 4 is particularly advantageously designed, for example, as an anchor screw, bolt anchor or concrete screw. The mounting element 3 is screwed onto the external thread 4a by rotating it about its longitudinal axis L in the direction of rotation U with its internal thread 3e, wherein the penetration depth of the fastening element 4 into the mounting element 3 can be adjusted by correspondingly rotating the mounting element 3 in the direction of rotation U. In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting element 3 is arranged such that the support surface 3k has a predetermined distance H with respect to the surface of the installation location 20. In an advantageous embodiment, the distance shown in . Figure 9 The lower edge 10e of the prefabricated wall 10, indicated by dashed lines, rests on the support surface 3k via a bearing surface 10c, so that the prefabricated wall 10 connected to the assembly element 3 ultimately has a distance H with respect to the surface of the installation location 20.
[0038] Figure 10 shows a further embodiment of a mounting element 3 with an upper end face 3a, a lower end face 3b, an inner bore 3d or bore opening 3f, a side surface 3c and a transverse bore 3g. The mounting element 3 shown has a single transverse bore 3g, but could advantageously, as already described, also have several transverse bores 3g arranged offset in the circumferential direction. In contrast to the embodiment according to Figure 8 is in Figure 10 the section between the transverse bore 3g and the upper end face 3a is longer, and advantageously has a tool engagement 3l to which a correspondingly adapted tool can be applied, for example in order to rotate the mounting element 3 safely and reproducibly in the circumferential direction U. Advantageously, the tool engagement 3l is connected to a leveling device which adjusts the mounting element 3 to a predetermined height H by rotating it in the circumferential direction U.
[0039] Figure 11 shows a further embodiment of a mounting element 3, whose side surface 3c is designed in a truncated cone shape. Otherwise, the mounting element 3 is designed similarly to Figure 10 , namely comprising an upper end face 3a, a lower end face 3b, an inner bore 3d, a transverse bore 3g, and a support part 3i. In this embodiment, the support surface 3k and / or the upper end face 3a and / or the side surface 3c can serve as a surface for supporting or carrying the prefabricated wall 10.
[0040] Figure 12shows a plan view, partially in section, of another embodiment of a mounting element 3. The mounting element 3 is cut along the first partial section L1 and has a square shape with correspondingly mutually perpendicular side surfaces 3c and an inner bore 3d running perpendicular to the viewing plane. The support part 3i is rectangular and can, for example, also have protruding elements 3n, which are designed, for example, as guide elements or as teeth, in order to engage, for example, with a lower edge 10e of a prefabricated wall 10.
[0041] In the circumferential direction of the longitudinal axis L, the outer contour of the mounting element 3, apart from the possibly present support part 3i, can generally be designed in a variety of shapes, for example polygonal, for example triangular, quadrangular, hexagonal or octagonal, with the side lengths preferably being the same length. However, the outer contour could also be designed with a rounded shape, for example elliptical, or a hybrid of square and round. Likewise, the outer contour of the support part 3i can be designed in a variety of shapes, forming a support surface 3k, for example polygonal, for example triangular, quadrangular, hexagonal or octagonal, with the side lengths preferably being the same length. However, the outer contour could also be designed with a rounded shape, or a hybrid of square and round. List of reference symbols
