Description

[0001] TILE-REPLACEMENT ROOF PANEL DEVICE

[0002] The invention relates to a heat-absorbing roof panel device comprising a plurality of rectangular roof panels, each with two parallel long sides and two parallel short sides. The invention particularly relates to roof panel devices equipped with heat-absorbing solar elements.

[0003] Roof panel devices of the type mentioned above are known in the prior art, for example, as conventional tiles. The heat generated in the tiles when exposed to sunlight remains unused.

[0004] In roof panel systems equipped with solar elements, solar radiation produces not only electrical current but also heat, which, unlike the electricity produced, remains unused.

[0005] The known roof panel devices, especially those equipped with solar cells, therefore have the disadvantage that not all of the energy produced in them is used.

[0006] The object of the invention is therefore to create a roof panel device whose energy yield is improved compared to the known roof panel devices.

[0007] For a roof panel device of the type mentioned at the outset, this object is achieved according to the invention in that a device for fastening a respective roof panel to a ridge of a roof is arranged in the region of a first short side and a device for fastening a respective roof panel to an eave of a roof is arranged in the region of a second short side, wherein each roof panel is connected in a heat-conducting manner to at least one liquid line for receiving a liquid flowing through the roof panel for dissipating heat from the roof panel.

[0008] Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the subclaims, the elements of which act in the sense of a further improvement of the approach to solving the problem underlying the invention.

[0009] In the roof panel device according to the invention, the combination of features comprising a device for fastening a respective roof panel to a ridge of a roof in the region of a first short side and a device for fastening a respective roof panel to an eave of a roof in the region of a second short side, each roof panel being thermally connected to at least one fluid line for receiving a fluid flowing through the roof panel for dissipating heat from the roof panel, ensures that the heat produced therein can be dissipated for use. For a roof panel device equipped with solar elements, this means that in addition to electricity generation, energy yield in the form of heat dissipation is also possible.

[0010] In addition, the roof panel device according to the invention has, in addition to a weight reduction, improved watertightness and increased robustness and safety in strong winds compared to the known roof panel devices and can even be described as hurricane-proof.

[0011] Furthermore, the roof panel device according to the invention also has the advantage that it can be installed not only in the area of ​​a roof but also in particular in the area of ​​a facade of a building.

[0012] According to a first preferred embodiment of the roof panel device according to the invention, it is provided that in the region of the lower surface of the roof panel, a plurality of heat-conducting locking devices are provided for the conclusive locking of a respective pipe for a liquid flow for the removal of heat from the roof panel.

[0013] Alternatively, at least one hollow conduit may be provided between a surface and a bottom surface of the roof panel to receive a fluid flowing through the roof panel for dissipating heat from the roof panel.

[0014] According to another preferred embodiment of the roof panel device according to the invention, the opposite long sides of the roof panel are each provided with fastening devices in order to positively connect a first roof panel to a further roof panel arranged laterally.

[0015] A roof panel preferably contains a predetermined fixed number of fluid lines formed extending from a first short side to a second short side.

[0016] All liquid lines can be designed in a straight line and aligned parallel to one another or, alternatively, can be designed to run in a meandering manner, in particular from a first short side to the second short side.

[0018] In the area of ​​the opposing long sides of the roof panel, anchoring devices are preferably provided in order to anchor a meandering first hollow pipe of a first roof panel in a liquid-tight manner to a meandering hollow pipe of a further roof panel arranged laterally to the first roof panel.

[0019] The anchoring devices are preferably provided in the area of ​​one of the short sides of the roof panel.

[0020] Furthermore, one or more fastening devices for fastening a current and heat generating solar panel that can be mounted above the roof panel are preferably arranged in the area of ​​the surface of the roof panel.
