Description

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a console anchor for fastening a facing to a load-bearing wall of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] From DE 10 2010 051 557 A1, a bracket anchor with a web plate is known that connects a bracket head, a support element, and a pressure element. The web plate is essentially triangular and has a circular opening to reduce thermal bridge losses.

[0003] German patent DE 10 2010015 262 A1 discloses a bracket anchor in which a threaded sleeve is welded to the web plate. An adjusting screw is screwed into this sleeve, allowing the bracket anchor to be supported against the load-bearing wall. This results in a comparatively complex design for the bracket anchor. The adjusting screw absorbs the compressive forces.

[0004] From DE 10 2004 001 209 A1 a console anchor with support arms is known which are connected to a wall support by means of fastening means.

[0005] DE 85 24 910 U1 discloses a console anchor with a web plate.

[0006] The invention is based on the objective of creating a console anchor of the generic type that is easy to manufacture and allows for low heat transfer between the supporting wall and the facing.

[0007] This problem is solved with respect to the bracket anchor by a bracket anchor having the features of claim 1.

[0008] The bracket anchor is designed so that the web plate comprises a tension strut and a compression strut, which are connected only at their ends facing the support element. The connection area linking the tension and compression struts at their ends facing the support element extends at most over half the cantilever length of the bracket anchor. The web plate is thus designed as an angle open towards the load-bearing wall. Because the tension and compression struts are connected only at their ends facing the support element, the amount of material wasted during the production of the web plate can be minimized by appropriately arranging several web plates on a single sheet. At the same time, heat transfer is reduced. Additional thermal insulation elements between the bracket anchor and the load-bearing wall can therefore be advantageously omitted.It has been shown that the vertical connection between the bracket head and the compression element, known in the prior art, contributes little or nothing to load transfer. The load is primarily transferred via the compression strut. Because the compression and tension struts are designed separately in the area of ​​the load-bearing wall, their cross-sections can be well adapted to the prevailing loads, thus requiring very little material for each. This minimizes heat transfer between the load-bearing wall and the cladding. The connection area between the tension and compression struts is located in the half of the bracket anchor facing away from the load-bearing wall. As a result, this connection area is partially, and in particular completely, outside of any insulation between the load-bearing wall and the cladding and therefore does not contribute to heat transfer between them.

[0009] Advantageously, the connection area extends over at most one-third of the cantilever length of the bracket anchor. Preferably, the connection area is located essentially only in the region of the support element, i.e., in the area above and below the support element. The connection area extends between the extension of the tension strut and the support element. Advantageously, the connection area is designed as a solid cross-section without any recesses or interruptions. This stabilizes the web plate in the area furthest from the load-bearing wall. At the same time, the free length of the compression strut, which is crucial for the buckling behavior of the compression strut, is reduced. Support elements of different shapes can be fixed to the connection area, so that a web plate with a connection area is suitable for various bracket anchor designs.To achieve a good fixation of a support element, in particular a support angle, it can be advantageous for the connection area to have a recess or slot to receive a section of the support element.

[0010] The wall thickness of the web plate is advantageously less than 10 mm. Preferably, the wall thickness of the web plate is less than 8 mm. By using a comparatively thin sheet, heat transfer between the supporting wall and the cladding is minimized. The comparatively small wall thickness of the web plate results in reduced stability compared to thicker web plates. This reduced stability can be compensated for by appropriate shaping of the web plate. At the same time, material consumption in the area of ​​welds, especially in the area of ​​the bracket head connection, can be reduced due to the shorter minimum weld length.

[0011] The tension strut has an outer edge facing away from the compression strut, and the compression strut has an outer edge facing away from the tension strut. Advantageously, the outer edges of the tension strut and compression strut form an angle of less than 60° when viewed from the side of the web plate. Preferably, the angle between the outer edges of the tension strut and compression strut is between 30° and 60°.

[0012] The tension strut has an outer edge facing away from the compression strut and an inner edge facing the compression strut. Advantageously, the outer and inner edges of the tension strut form an angle of less than 20° when viewed from the side of the web plate. The outer and inner edges of the tension strut may be parallel to each other. Preferably, however, the width of the tension strut is adapted to the forces and loads occurring during operation and varies between the bracket head and the connection area. The angle preferably widens towards the bracket head. Thus, the tension strut becomes narrower from the bracket head to the connection area. However, it is also possible for the tension strut to widen from the bracket head to the connection area. The angle between the outer and inner edges of the tension strut is preferably less than 10°.A particularly preferred design results when the angle is between 1° and 5° and opens towards the console head.

[0013] To achieve sufficient compressive stiffness of the compression strut despite the thinness of the web plate, it is advantageous for the compression strut to have an angled section. The angle of this section is provided in a cross-section transverse to the longitudinal direction of the compression strut, and particularly perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. In a cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the compression strut, the compression strut advantageously has an L-shape. However, other cross-sectional shapes that increase the moment of inertia, such as a C-shaped or S-shaped cross-section, can also be advantageous. The angled section allows the moment of inertia of the compression strut to be increased easily. A solid compression element, such as a threaded rod or the like, can thus be omitted. Compared to a solid threaded rod, a thin, bent sheet metal with the same moment of inertia has a reduced weight.At the same time, no additional component is required. By appropriately designing the width of the angled section, it can be adapted to the loads to be absorbed. Due to the angle, a pressure plate can also be easily fixed to the compression strut.

[0014] The angled section advantageously extends at least along the end face of the compression strut facing away from the support element. The compression strut is connected to the compression element at this end face. The compression element is preferably fixed directly to the end face of the compression strut, in particular by welding. The compression element is advantageously a pressure plate. The support element is advantageously a support plate or a support bracket. However, it is also possible for the support element to be suspended from the bracket anchor. Such a suspended support element can, for example, be connected to the web plate via sheet metal strips or the like.

[0015] The bracket head advantageously surrounds the web plate. This allows the bracket head to be easily fixed to the web plate, for example, via a weld. However, it can also be advantageous for the bracket head to have a closed underside that is butt-jointed to the web plate, for example, via a weld. The web plate is preferably made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has a lower thermal conductivity compared to structural steel or aluminum. By designing the web plate from stainless steel, a sufficient reduction of thermal bridges in the web plate can be achieved without the need for additional separating layers.

[0016] A web plate for a cantilever anchor is advantageously formed from a single sheet of constant wall thickness and comprises a tension strut and a compression strut, wherein the tension strut and the compression strut are connected to each other only at the end which is provided for connection with a support element of the cantilever anchor, wherein the connection area of ​​the tension strut and compression strut extends at most over half a cantilever length of the cantilever anchor.

[0018] Fig. 1Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a bracket anchor 1. The bracket anchor 1 is designed to support a facing panel on a load-bearing wall. Insulating material is typically placed between the load-bearing wall and the facing panel to minimize heat transfer from the facing panel to the load-bearing wall. The bracket anchor 1 has a bracket head 4, which is designed for fixing it to a load-bearing wall. The bracket head 4 is fixed to a web plate 5. The web plate 5 comprises a tension strut 8, which extends obliquely downwards from the bracket head 4 towards a load-bearing wall, and a compression strut 9, which is typically oriented approximately horizontally after installation on a load-bearing wall. The tension strut 8 and the compression strut 9 are connected to each other at a connection area 46. In this embodiment, the connection area 46 has an approximately triangular shape. A support element 6, in this embodiment a flat support plate, is arranged at the connection area 46.The support element 6 is horizontally oriented and fixed to the underside of the connection area 46 with its upper side in the assembled state, in particular by welding. The tension strut 8 has a first end 42, which is arranged at the connection area 46, and a second end 43, which is fixed to the bracket head 4. In the exemplary embodiment, the bracket head 4 has two sections 17 and 18, which are arranged on opposite sides of the second end 43 of the tension strut 8. The bracket head 4 thus encompasses the web plate 5 in this area. The bracket head 4 is fixed to the web plate 5 at sections 17 and 18, for example by welding. This will be described in more detail below. The compression strut 9 has a first end 44, which in the exemplary embodiment is arranged approximately vertically below the first end 42 of the tension strut 8. The compression strut 9 has a second end 45, which is to be arranged in the area of ​​a load-bearing wall.At the second end 45, a pressure element 7 is arranged, which serves to support it against the load-bearing wall 3. In the exemplary embodiment, the pressure element 7 is designed as a flat plate and rests directly against the load-bearing wall.

[0019] The web plate 5 is formed from a single sheet with a constant wall thickness d. The web plate 5 can, for example, be cut from a sheet by laser cutting. The wall thickness d of the web plate 5 is advantageously less than 10 mm, particularly less than 8 mm. A wall thickness d of less than 5 mm is considered particularly advantageous.

[0020] To achieve sufficient stability, particularly of the compression strut 9, despite the thin wall thickness of the web plate 5, and to prevent buckling of the compression strut 9 under load, the compression strut 9 is provided with an angled section 15. In the angled section 15, the compression strut 9 is bent out of the plane of the tension strut 8. In the exemplary embodiment, the angled section 15 is arranged on the side of the compression strut 9 facing away from the tension strut 8 and extends over the entire length of the compression strut 9 from the connection area 46 to the compression element 7.

[0021] How Fig. 1 As also shown, the tension strut 8 has two outer edges 12, which are the outer edges facing away from the compression strut 9, as well as two inner edges 14, of which in Fig. 1Due to the perspective view, only one is visible. The outer edges 12 run parallel to each other. Likewise, the outer edges 14 run parallel to each other. The compression strut 9 has two inner edges 11 that run parallel to each other and which designate the edges of the compression strut 9 facing the tension strut 8. The compression strut 9 also has an outer edge 13 at the angled section 15, which is the edge facing away from the tension strut 8. The edge running parallel to the outer edge 13 is closer to the tension strut 8. How Fig. 1 As shown, the inner edges 11 of the compression strut 9 run parallel to the outer edge 13.

[0022] How Fig. 1As also shown, the support element 6 has a length e measured in the horizontal direction, which is significantly greater than the wall thickness d of the web plate 5. The length e can advantageously be a few centimeters. A length e of approximately 2 cm to approximately 10 cm is considered advantageous. The length e is measured horizontally along the supporting wall or the facing and perpendicular to the plane of the plate of the connection area 46.

[0023] Fig. 2Figure 1 shows the arrangement of the bracket anchor 1 on a load-bearing wall 3. A facing 2 is also shown. The facing 2 and the load-bearing wall 3 are depicted only schematically. The bracket head 4 has a support section 29 that rests against the load-bearing wall 3. The support section 29 advantageously rests directly on the load-bearing wall 3. A fastening screw 20 is provided for fixing the bracket anchor 4 to the load-bearing wall 3. The fastening screw 20 is advantageously an anchor head screw that projects into an anchor rail arranged in the load-bearing wall 3. Fixing is achieved via a fastening nut 21, which presses against a U-plate 22 arranged on the bracket head 4. For height adjustment, the bracket head 4 has recesses 23 on the side facing the load-bearing wall 3. In the exemplary embodiment, three recesses 23 are provided.Between the console head 4 and the support wall 3, a slotted plate 19 is arranged in the area of ​​the fastening screw 20, which will be described in more detail below. The slotted plate 19 has an edge 24 projecting from the support wall 3, which extends into one of the recesses 23.

[0024] The compression strut 9 has a face 16 at its second end 45, to which the compression element 7 is fixed. Due to the angled section 15, the compression strut 9 has a Fig. 1) an L-shaped cross-section. The bracket anchor 1 is thus supported on the support section 29 via the inclined perforated plate 19 and on the compression element 7 on the load-bearing wall 3. The web plate 5 has the shape of an angle open towards the load-bearing wall 3. The space formed between the tension strut 8 and the compression strut 9 is open towards the load-bearing wall 3. The compression element 7 is also directly supported on the load-bearing wall 3. The intermediate layer of further layers for thermal separation is advantageously omitted.

[0025] How Fig. 2As shown, the tension strut 8 has a length L1 measured from its first end 42 to its second end 43. The compression strut 9 has a length L2 measured from its first end 44 to its second end 45, which is shorter than the length L1. The outer edge 12 of the tension strut 8 forms an angle β with the inner edge 14 of the tension strut 8. The angle β is advantageously less than 20°, particularly less than 10°. An angle β of 1° to 5° has proven to be particularly advantageous. However, it can also be provided that the angle β is 0° and the outer edge 12 and the inner edge 14 are parallel. In the exemplary embodiment, the angle β opens towards the bracket head 4. However, it can also be provided that the angle β opens towards the connection area 46. Due to the angle β, the width of the tension strut 8 decreases. At its first end 42, the tension strut 8 has a width i that is significantly smaller than a maximum width k in the region of the second end 43.The width k is measured adjacent to the second end 43 in the region where the tension strut 8 has its maximum width. The width k can advantageously be 1.5 to 3 times the width i.

[0026] The outer edge 12 of the tension strut 8 forms an angle α with the outer edge 13 of the compression strut 9, which is advantageously less than 60°. The angle α is particularly between 30° and 40°, and especially between 40° and 50°. The bracket anchor 1 has a cantilever length L. The cantilever length L denotes the total length of the bracket anchor 1, i.e., the maximum extent measured perpendicular to the load-bearing wall 3. In the exemplary embodiment, the cantilever length L is measured to the side of the support element 6 facing away from the load-bearing wall 3. The support element 6 has a width f measured perpendicular to the load-bearing wall 3, which is less than half, and in particular less than one-third, of the cantilever length L. In the exemplary embodiment, the width f is approximately 20% to 30% of the cantilever length L. In the exemplary embodiment, there is a small gap between the support element 6 and the compression strut 9. The connection area 46 has a length b, which is measured in the plane of the web plate 5 and horizontally.Length b is thus measured perpendicular to the supporting wall 3. Length b is at most half the cantilever length L. Advantageously, length b is at most one-third of the cantilever length L. In the exemplary embodiment, length b is between 20% and 30% of the cantilever length L. In the exemplary embodiment, the connection area 46 has an inner edge 10 that runs vertically. However, an inclined or curved course of the inner edge 10 can also be advantageous. The inner edge 10 limits the space enclosed between the tension strut 8 and the compression strut 9.

[0027] How Fig. 2 As also shown, the compression strut 9 has a height m that is greater than the minimum width i of the tension strut 8. In the exemplary embodiment, the height m corresponds approximately to the maximum width k of the tension strut 8. The height m of the compression strut 9 is measured vertically in the installed state.

[0028] How Fig. 2As shown, the facing 2 made of bricks rests on the support element 6. In the exemplary embodiment, the facing 2 extends only in the connection area 46. However, it can also be provided that the facing 2 projects into the area of ​​tension strut 8 and compression strut 9.

[0029] How Fig. 3 As shown, the compression strut 9 in the angled section 15 has a width c that approximately corresponds to the height m. The width c can be selected appropriately depending on the size of the load to be supported by the compression strut 9. Advantageously, the width c is approximately 0.5 to 3 times the height m. The compression strut 9 has a constant height m and a constant width c along its entire length L 2. Fig. 3 As also shown, the support element 6 in the exemplary embodiment has a thickness a which advantageously corresponds to the wall thickness d of the web plate 5.

[0030] The Figures 4 to 7 show different designs of the console head 4. In the Figures 4 and 5 is the one in the Figure 1 and 2 The design of the console head 4 is shown in detail.

[0031] The in Fig. 4 The U-shaped plate 22 shown surrounds the console head 4 and provides a contact surface for a washer 28 placed between the U-shaped plate 22 and the fastening nut 21. The fastening nut 21 can also rest directly against the U-shaped plate 22.

[0032] Fig. 4 The inclination of the tension strut 8 to a horizontal 30 is also shown. The horizontal 30 advantageously runs parallel to the compression strut 9 ( Fig. 2 The outer edge 12 forms an angle α with the horizontal 30. In the exemplary embodiment, the angle α is shown in the diagram. Fig. 4 smaller than in the embodiment according to the Figures 1 to 3and is less than 45°, in particular 30° to 45°. The angle α is advantageously from 30° to 60°. The inner edge 14 runs to the horizontal 30 at an angle δ, which is advantageously from 20° to 55°. The tension strut 8 has a longitudinal center axis 31, which bisects the angle between the outer edge 12 and the inner edge 14. The longitudinal center axis 31 runs to the horizontal 30 at an angle γ, which can advantageously be from 25° to 55°.

[0033] How Fig. 5 As shown, the console head 4 is formed from an approximately U-shaped bent sheet metal piece. The legs of the U project downwards, while the closed section connecting the legs projects upwards. The end regions of the legs of the U form sections 17 and 18, which are arranged on both sides of the web sheet 5. Sections 17 and 18 overlap the web sheet 5 in an overlap area 33. In the exemplary embodiment, the overlap area 33 is shown in the Figures 4 and 5It is comparatively large and has a height g measured in the vertical direction, which is advantageously at least 1 cm. This allows the bracket head 4 to be fixed to the web plate 5 by means of resistance projection welding. Another fixing method may also be advantageous.

[0034] Fig. 5 The design of the inclined perforated plate 19 is also shown. The inclined perforated plate 19 has an elongated hole 27 that runs at an angle towards the edge 24. By laterally sliding the inclined perforated plate 19, the distance between the edge 24 and the area of ​​the elongated hole 27, through which the screw 20 ( Fig. 4 ) can be changed. This allows for fine-tuning of the mounting height of the console head 4.

[0035] The Figures 6 and 7 Figure 1 shows a further embodiment for connecting the bracket head 4 to the web plate 5. In this embodiment, the bracket head 4 is attached according to the following: Figures 6 and 7connected via sections 17 and 18 to the web plate 5, which are significantly shorter than in the one described in the Figures 4 and 5 in the illustrated embodiment. The overlap area 33 has a height g', which is comparatively small and can range from about 3 mm to 10 mm. The height g' can vary in the region of the wall thickness d ( Fig. 1 ) of the web plate 5. A weld 32, designed as a fillet weld, is arranged at sections 17 and 18. The further design of the bracket head 4 and the web plate 5 corresponds to the design described for the previous embodiment. The same reference numerals designate corresponding elements in all embodiments.

[0036] In the Figures 8 and 9An embodiment of a console anchor 1 is shown, which has a support element 36 instead of the support element 6. The support element 36 is designed as a support angle and has a support section 37 and a contact section 38 extending at an angle to it. In the embodiment, the support section 37 and the contact section 38 extend at an angle of 90°, with the contact section 38 being vertically oriented and the support section 37 being horizontally oriented. The connecting section 46 has a slot 39 through which the contact section 38 projects. Alternatively, the connecting section 46 can be provided with a recess 40 which is located in the Figures 8 and 9The recess 40 is shown with a dashed line. The recess 40 can advantageously have an approximately triangular shape. The support element 36 has a length h, measured parallel to the load-bearing wall 3 and in the horizontal direction, which can be significantly greater than the length e of the support element 6. Advantageously, the length h is from about 10 cm to about 30 cm. It can also be provided that several web plates 5 with bracket heads 4 and pressure elements 7 are arranged on one support element 36. In this case, the length h of the support element 36 can also be significantly greater.

[0037] The connection area 46 is also in the embodiment according to the Figures 8 and 9The connection area 46 is provided for the connection of tension strut 8 and compression strut 9 at their ends 42 and 43. Due to the recess 40 or slot 39, the length b1 of the connection area 46 is very small at its narrowest point and is only a fraction of the cantilever length L. In the exemplary embodiment, the minimum length b1 of the connection area 46 is less than one-tenth of the cantilever length L. However, the total length b of the connection area 46, i.e., the area over which the tension strut 8 and the compression strut 9 are connected, is significantly larger and is approximately 20% to 30% of the cantilever length L. The length b is less than half the cantilever length L of the bracket anchor 1.

[0038] The Figures 10 and 11 show an embodiment of a console anchor 1, the construction of which is essentially the same as described in the Figure 1 and 2 The console anchor 1 shown corresponds to this. Figures 10 and 11 The bracket anchor 1 shown differs from the bracket anchor 1 according to the Figure 1 and 2 through its console head 54. The console head 54 is U-shaped and has two legs 56 that project upwards. The legs 56 are connected to each other in the area facing the web plate 5. As the Figures 10 and 11 As shown, the console head 54 has a total of five recesses 23. This allows for height adjustment over a larger range. A different number of recesses 23 may also be advantageous for a console head 54.

[0039] The Figures 12 and 13 The design of the console head 54 is shown in detail. The fixing of the console head 54 via the angled perforated plate 19 and the fastening screw 20 corresponds to the design in the embodiment according to the Figures 4 and 5 The design of the tension strut 8 of the web plate 5 also corresponds to the design from the Figures 4 and 5 . As the Figures 12 and 13As shown, the bracket head 54 has no overlap area with the web plate 5. The web plate 5 butts against the bracket head 54 with its end face and is welded to the web plate 5 via two welds 55, which are designed as fillet welds.

[0040] In the Figures 14 and 15 In the illustrated embodiment of the console head 54, the console head 54 is constructed from two side walls 57. One of the side walls 57 forms section 17, and the other of the side walls 57 forms section 18, which is arranged on the opposite side of the web plate 5. Sections 17 and 18 overlap the web plate 5 in an overlap area 33, which has a comparatively large height g. In the overlap area 33, the side walls 57 are connected to the web plate 5 by a weld, advantageously by resistance projection welding.

[0041] In the Figures 16 and 17In the illustrated embodiment of a console head 54, two side walls 57 are also provided, which abut the web plate 5 on opposite sides. The side walls 57 overlap the web plate 5 in an overlap area 33, the height g' of which is very small. Welds 58, designed as fillet welds, are provided to connect the side walls 57 to the web plate 5.

[0042] The in the Figures 14 to 17 The bracket heads 54 shown in the exemplary embodiment each have only three recesses 23. The number of recesses 23 can be selected depending on the desired maximum possible height adjustment of the position of the bracket anchor 1 of a load-bearing wall 3.

[0043] In the Figures 18 and 19Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a console anchor 1, which has a console head 54 and a support element 36. The support element 36 is arranged in a slot 39 or a recess 40 of the connection area 46. The further design of the anchor is shown in the figure 1. Figures 18 and 19 The console anchor 1 shown corresponds to the design described in the preceding embodiments.

[0044] Fig. 20 Figure 1 schematically shows the arrangement of the outlines of several web plates 5 on a sheet from which the web plates 5 are to be cut out. How Fig. 20As shown, the compression struts 9 are arranged adjacent to each other, while the tension struts 8 project alternately outwards. The web plates 5 of compression struts 9 that lie next to each other are arranged rotated 180° relative to each other. The second end 45 of each compression strut 9 projects to the connection area 46 of an adjacent web plate 5. This achieves a space-saving arrangement, resulting in very little material waste. The web plates are advantageously cut from the sheet metal by laser cutting. Subsequently, the angled section 15 can be cut from the compression strut 9 blank, and the bracket head 4, 54, the support element 6, 36, and the pressure plate 7 can be fixed to the web plate 5, in particular by welding. This enables very simple manufacturing in just a few production steps. The web plate 5 is advantageously made of stainless steel.However, a different arrangement of the outlines of the web plates 5 on a sheet from which the web plates 5 are to be cut out can also be advantageous.
