Description

[0001] Title: Facade element, facade and methods for

[0002] Manufacturing and / or assembling a facade element

[0003] Description

[0004] The invention relates to a facade element with features of claim 1, a facade with features of claim 11 and a method for manufacturing and / or assembling a facade element with features of claim 15.

[0005] A facade can be constructed from a multitude of individual facade elements. Often, standard designs are used, which are unsuitable or only partially suitable for creating complex facades and lead to a significantly increased use of materials, particularly chemicals. Extensive sealing work is usually required. This makes the facade elements only partially recyclable. Both the production and installation of the facade elements involve an enormous amount of labor and require a correspondingly large workforce.

[0006] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a facade element, a facade and a method for manufacturing and / or assembling a facade element, thereby eliminating the above disadvantages.

[0007] The above problem is solved by a facade element having the features of claim 1.

[0008] The facade element comprises a frame. The frame has an inner profile and an outer profile. The inner profile can be designed as the inner shell and the outer profile as the outer shell. The frame also includes a stepped profile and a sealing profile. The stepped profile and / or the sealing profile are located between the inner profile and the outer profile.

[0009] (sandwich-like) arrangement. The inner profile, the outer profile, the stepped profile, and the sealing profile can be arranged to form a gap. The stepped profile has a first receiving surface, a second receiving surface, and a third receiving surface. The first, second, and / or third receiving surfaces are each designed to receive a pane. The inner profile has a fourth receiving surface for receiving a pane.

[0010] This allows for the provision of a facade element that can be manufactured unmanned and / or recycled without significant effort. In particular, the stepped profile enables the automated and unmanned placement and installation of panes onto their respective mounting surfaces. The joining and pressing together of the inner and outer profiles can also be automated and unmanned, allowing the entire manufacturing process of the facade element to be carried out automatically and without human intervention.

[0011] The inner profile, outer profile, sealing profile, and / or step profile can each be formed from individual aluminum or plastic profiles joined together using corner brackets. The individual aluminum or plastic profiles can be seamlessly welded together, for example, using a laser, to form the inner profile, outer profile, sealing profile, and / or step profile. The welding process can be automated (unmanned).

[0012] The inner profile, outer profile, sealing profile, and / or step profile can each be individually coated. The inner profile, outer profile, sealing profile, and / or step profile can have an internal coating that allows the respective materials, adhesives, and / or assembly foams (see below) to be easily separated by heating during the recycling process. The internal coating can be applied to the respective profile after individual coating.

[0013] According to a further development of the facade element, the inner profile and / or the outer profile can be made of metal, in particular aluminum. Alternatively or additionally, the stepped profile and / or the sealing profile can be made of plastic.

[0014] This allows for the implementation of a robust yet lightweight frame.

[0015] According to a further development of the facade element, the first, second and third receiving surfaces can be designed in a stair-like or step-like manner.

[0016] This makes automated and unmanned assembly of the panes possible.

[0017] According to a further development of the facade element, the stepped profile and the outer profile can be bonded together using adhesive. Alternatively or additionally, the sealing profile and the outer profile can be bonded together using adhesive. Alternatively or additionally, the sealing profile and the inner profile can be bonded together using adhesive.

[0018] This allows the framework to be implemented using simple means.

[0019] According to a further development of the facade element, the facade element can have a first pane, a second pane, and a third pane. The first pane can be bonded to the first receiving surface using adhesive. The second pane can be bonded to the second receiving surface using adhesive. The third pane can be bonded to the third receiving surface using adhesive. The third pane can be bonded to the fourth receiving surface using adhesive. The adhesive for bonding the panes to the stepped profile can differ from the adhesive for bonding the inner profile to the sealing profile, the adhesive for bonding the fourth receiving surface to the third pane, the adhesive for bonding the outer profile to the stepped profile, and / or the adhesive for bonding the outer profile to the sealing profile. For example, since the inner profile and / or the outer profile are each made of metal or...Since the stepped profile and / or the sealing profile can be made of plastic, an optimal adhesive (composite adhesive) can be selected to optimally bond different materials together.

[0020] The panes can be simple glass panes or single-pane panes. Specifically, the panes are not designed as insulating glass units or insulating panes. The panes can be automatically inserted into the stepped profile or bonded to the stepped profile using adhesive. This can be done in a dust-free chamber. The panes can be cleaned before insertion or bonding.

[0021] This eliminates the need for insulating glass.

[0022] According to the invention, the frame comprises a joining device for joining the inner profile, the outer profile, the stepped profile and / or the sealing profile.

[0023] This allows the frame to be joined using simple means. According to a further development of the facade element, the joining device can comprise a hollow dowel and a solid dowel corresponding to the hollow dowel. The hollow dowel and / or the solid dowel can be made of steel, in particular stainless steel. The hollow dowel and the solid dowel can be designed such that the solid dowel can be inserted into the hollow dowel. The hollow dowel and the solid dowel can be designed to be anchored. In other words, when the solid dowel is inserted into the hollow dowel, it can be anchored in the hollow dowel, for example, by means of locking lugs and corresponding recesses or grips, so that the solid dowel cannot be pulled out of the hollow dowel again.

[0024] The hollow mandrel can be welded to the inner profile and the solid mandrel to the outer profile. It is also conceivable that the hollow mandrel can be welded to the outer profile and the solid mandrel to the inner profile.

[0025] This allows the joining device to be implemented using simple means.

[0026] According to a further development of the facade element, mounting foam can be placed between the inner profile, the outer profile, the stepped profile and / or the sealing profile. The mounting foam can be polyurethane foam.

[0027] This allows for the implementation of insulation protection using simple means.

[0028] According to a further development of the facade element, the

[0029] The sealing profile has a concave recess to accommodate a seal. The concave recess can have a semicircular cross-section.

[0030] This allows a receptacle for the seal to be provided using simple means.

[0031] According to a further development of the facade element, the facade element can have a seal. The seal can be designed as an inflatable seal. The seal can be designed as a special seal that is at least partially circumferential and mitered. The seal can run at least partially around the sealing profile (or around the frame). Mounting foam can be arranged within the seal. The mounting foam can be polyurethane foam.

[0032] In particular, the seal allows two adjacent facade elements to interlock and thus be fixed together.

[0033] According to a further development of the facade element, the facade element can comprise a first frame recess and a second frame recess for receiving at least part of a frame. The first frame recess can be located on a lower part of the facade element. The second frame recess can be located on an upper part of the facade element.

[0034] This allows the facade element to be attached to the frame using simple means. The first frame mounting and / or the second frame mounting can each be adjustable, for example, by means of an adjusting screw and an actuator. The facade elements can thus always be aligned to their neutral position using the actuators.

[0035] The facade element can feature electrochromic glazing, at least in some areas. Electrochromic glazing can, for example, completely replace external blinds. The facade element can be designed to function according to the principle of "closed gravity".

[0036] Dismantling the facade element and making it recyclable can be achieved, for example, by simply heating it and drilling through the joining device or the mandrels (solid and hollow). This can be automated.

[0037] The above problem is solved by a facade having the features of claim 11.

[0038] The facade comprises at least two facade elements as described above and at least one frame. The frame includes a facade element bracket. The facade element bracket may have a T-shaped cross-section. The facade element bracket is designed to be received in the first frame recess of a first facade element and in the second frame recess of a second facade element. The facade element bracket, particularly the T-shaped section, may have at least one seal. Significant savings can be achieved in the area of ​​the connections to the building structure through the design of the frame. In particular, due to the facade element bracket, the facade elements can be automatically and unmanned (from the outside) hung in the frame or the respective facade element bracket.

[0039] The frame can be fully installed along with the building shell. Any settling, shifting, and / or tolerances can be compensated for by electronic actuators.

[0040] Regarding the advantages achievable with the facade, please refer to the relevant information on the facade element. Further design of the facade can be achieved using the measures described in connection with the facade element and / or those explained below.

[0041] It is conceivable that the facade could consist of a thermal envelope and an optical envelope. The thermal envelope can be formed from at least one facade element and / or the facade as described above and / or below. The optical envelope can be attached to the thermal envelope subsequently. The optical envelope could, for example, be made of decorative metal sheets of various designs.

[0042] According to a further development of the facade, the frame can be designed for attachment to a structural ceiling. The frame can include sound insulation. The sound insulation can be designed as a Promat lining. The sound insulation can be arranged between the frame and the structural ceiling. In this way, the necessary sound insulation and / or fire protection requirements can be met with simple means.

[0043] According to a further development of the facade design, the facade can include at least one vapor-tight membrane. The membrane can be positioned between the first facade element and the frame. Alternatively or additionally, the membrane can be positioned between the second facade element and the frame. The membrane(s) can be factory-applied.

[0044] This allows the necessary vapor diffusion tightness to be achieved using simple means.

[0045] According to a further development of the facade, the facade can have at least one gas supply for introducing a gas (noble gas) into the seal and / or between the panes. To prevent gas escape, the inner profile, the outer profile, the stepped profile, and / or the sealing profile can be designed to be gas-tight. The tightness of the respective profiles can be automatically tested. The gas supply can be located at least partially within the frame or run at least partially through the frame.

[0046] This allows gas to be injected between the individual panes of the facade element after installation. The gas can then be easily replenished. Since, for example, a pumping action inevitably leads to some gas escaping, the required amount of gas can always be supplied or replenished via the gas supply system. A joint gap of, for example, 20 to 25 mm can be maintained between the individual facade elements. Horizontal and vertical joints can be identical. Once the facade elements are hung in the frame's facade element holder and aligned using automated electric actuators, the seals can be inflated to a very high pressure of up to 8 bar, causing the seals to extend into the respective sealing profiles and their recesses, thus locking the facade elements in place. At the same time, the seals can be filled with expanding foam.Mounting foam, especially polyurethane and cork, can be injected into the seal, which can ensure both sound insulation and thermal insulation between the facade elements horizontally and vertically.

[0047] The above problem is solved by a method for manufacturing and / or assembling a facade element according to the above descriptions with the features of claim 15.

[0048] The procedure includes the following steps:

[0049] Bonding the outer profile to the step profile and / or to the sealing profile using adhesive.

[0050] Bonding the first disc to the first receiving surface using adhesive f.

[0051] Bond the second disc to the second mounting surface using adhesive. Bond the third disc to the third mounting surface using adhesive.

[0052] Bonding the third disc to the fourth mounting surface using adhesive.

[0053] Bonding the inner profile to the sealing profile using adhesive f.

[0054] Joining the inner profile, the outer profile, the stepped profile and / or the sealing profile using the joining device. For this purpose, the inner profile and the outer profile can be pressed together.

[0055] During joining, the inner and outer profiles can be positioned relative to each other such that the solid mandrel of the joining device is inserted into the hollow mandrel of the joining device. The compression can be carried out in a heated press at a temperature of, for example, 180° Celsius. During compression, the solid and hollow mandrels interlock, ensuring that the adhesive achieves and maintains its optimal contact pressure. The first disc and / or the second disc can achieve their contact pressure through their respective own weight.

[0056] Regarding the advantages that can be achieved, reference is made to the relevant explanations concerning the facade element. For further details of the procedure, the following can be found in

[0057] The measures described in connection with the facade element and / or those explained below serve this purpose. According to a further development of the procedure, the procedure can include the following step:

[0058] Inject expanding foam, especially polyurethane foam, between the inner profile, the outer profile, the step profile and / or the sealing profile. Alternatively or additionally, the expanding foam, especially polyurethane foam, can be injected into the seal.

[0059] For this purpose, holes for injecting the expanding foam can be drilled at the corners of the frame using a predefined drilling pattern. For example, two foam lances per corner, for a total of eight, can be used to inject the expanding foam, particularly into the space formed by the outer profile, the stepped profile, the inner profile, and the sealing profile. The amount of expanding foam to be injected can be checked by weighing it.

[0060] The mounting foam is used primarily for thermal insulation.

[0061] It is conceivable that small holes could be made in the stepped profile for moisture removal and corresponding moisture-absorbing granules could be filled in, which could absorb any moisture (water) that may occur.

[0062] Similarly, valve passages can be installed in a gas-tight manner, allowing the gases (noble gases) to be filled on-site after assembly. Appropriate mounting brackets can be screwed into the joining device (the solid or hollow mandrel). For this purpose, the joining device (solid or hollow mandrel) can be pre-drilled automatically. The mounting brackets can be designed to accommodate, for example, natural stone, sheet metal, blinds, double facades, etc.

[0063] According to a further development of the procedure, the procedure can include the following step:

[0064] Aligning the facade elements using at least one actuator.

[0065] This allows the facade elements to always be adjusted to their zero position. Tolerances and / or settling can thus be compensated for using simple means.

[0066] According to a further development of the process, the process steps can be carried out (fully) automatically. In particular, the process steps can be carried out by means of a robot (unmanned).

[0067] This eliminates the need for human labor. The process steps can be carried out faster and more efficiently.
