Description

[0001] The invention relates to a unitized facade module with a supporting frame formed from vertical and horizontal frame elements. The invention also relates to a vertical frame element for such a unitized facade module.

[0002] Larger facade areas with a uniform design are often constructed as so-called unitized curtain walls. These curtain walls consist of individual modules that are completely prefabricated in the factory and can be assembled on site. The individual prefabricated modules are easy to install on the construction site and can be sealed against each other using suitable gaskets. The modules used for unitized curtain walls typically have a supporting frame composed of vertical and horizontal frame elements, in which glazing, panels, or other suitable infill elements are arranged. More recently, there has been a requirement to integrate additional building services elements, such as shading devices or ventilation and air conditioning units, into the curtain wall modules. This allows, for example, for the integration of...Thermal regulation of a building can be achieved with elements integrated into the facade.

[0003] The object of the invention is to create a unitized facade module and a frame element for a unitized facade module that enable the stable and safe installation of additional building technology.

[0004] This problem is solved by a facade element module with the features of claim 1 and by a frame element with the features of claim 13. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

[0005] The element facade module according to the invention has a supporting frame formed from horizontal and vertical frame elements, wherein a first facade element receptacle for an outer facade element, for example designed as multiple glazing, a second facade element receptacle for an inner facade element, for example designed as interior glazing, and a partition element receptacle arranged between the first facade element receptacle and the second facade element receptacle for receiving a partition element, for example designed as a partition screen, are arranged in the vertical frame elements. This enables a secure and stable mounting not only of the inner and outer facade elements, but also of the additional partition element and other installation components.The additional separating element allows the interior space of the unitized facade module, formed between the outer facade element and the inner facade element, to be divided into an outer area adjacent to the outer facade element and an inner area adjacent to the inner facade element, in order to achieve targeted air circulation within the unitized facade module.

[0006] In a manufacturing-efficient design, the horizontal and / or vertical frame elements can be formed from a first frame part and a second frame part firmly connected to it. This simplifies the manufacturing process and allows for quick and easy adaptation to specific requirements. Of course, the horizontal and / or vertical frame elements can also be manufactured from a single profile.

[0007] In a two-part design, the first frame part and the second frame part of the horizontal and / or vertical frame elements can be connected to each other via a screw connection.

[0008] In another practical embodiment, a stable connection between the two frame parts can be achieved by arranging a web on the second frame part for engagement with a stepped recess on the first frame part.

[0009] The first frame part and / or the second frame part of the horizontal and / or vertical frame elements may also include at least one receiving chamber for receiving control elements, cabling or other installation elements.

[0010] In a version particularly suitable for building connections, a supporting structure with horizontal support profiles can be arranged between the vertical frame elements. An air deflector can be attached to the support profiles.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, an outer facade element designed as external glazing and an inner facade element designed as internal glazing can be arranged on the outside of the supporting frame formed from the horizontal frame elements and the vertical frame elements.

[0012] Within the supporting frame formed from the horizontal frame elements and vertical frame elements, a separating element made of a transparent material can be arranged to divide an intermediate space between the outer facade element and the inner facade element into an outer area and an inner area.

[0013] Within the support frame, a heat exchanger and a fan for generating an airflow through the heat exchanger can also be arranged. The fan is advantageously designed such that the airflow it generates is directed downwards in the outer area of ​​the space to the heat exchanger and, after passing through the heat exchanger, is directed back upwards to the fan via the inner area of ​​the space.

[0014] The invention further relates to a vertical frame element for a unitized facade module as described above. This is characterized in that it includes a first facade element receptacle for an outer facade element, a second facade element receptacle for an inner facade element, and a partition element receptacle arranged between the first facade element receptacle and the second facade element receptacle for receiving a partition element.

[0015] The vertical frame element can be made of one piece or multiple pieces.

[0016] Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment with reference to the drawing. The drawing shows: Figure 1 a schematic representation of a unitized facade module in a front view; Figure 2 an upper and lower area of ​​a unitized facade module in a section view along line AA of Figure 1 ; Figure 3 a sectional view of the element facade module along line BB from Figure 1 ; Figure 4 an enlarged view of a vertical frame element of the in the Figures 1 to 3 shown section of the element facade module; Figure 5 a second embodiment of a vertical frame element in section; Figure 6 a third embodiment of a vertical frame element in section; Figure 7a second embodiment of a unitized facade module and Figure 8 a third embodiment of a unitized facade module.

[0017] In the Figures 1 to 3 Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a unitized facade module 1 with a supporting frame 4 formed from horizontal frame elements 2 and vertical frame elements 3, and facade elements 5, 6 and 7 arranged within the supporting frame 4, in various views. As shown in Figure 1, Figure 1 As can be seen, in the embodiment shown there, a supporting structure 8 with several in the lower area of ​​the supporting frame 4 is spaced apart from the lower horizontal frame element 2. Figures 2 and 3 The horizontal support profiles 9, 10 and 11, which are recognizable, are arranged between the visible horizontal support profiles 9, 10 and 11. The horizontal support profiles 9, 10 and 11, which are designed as hollow profiles, are arranged between the in Figure 3The vertical frame elements 3 shown in the section are attached. In the illustrated embodiment, the supporting structure 8 has an outer support profile 9 arranged on the outside of the unitized facade module 1, an inner support profile 10 arranged on the inside of the unitized facade module 1, and a middle support profile 11 arranged between them. The support profiles 9, 10, and 11 can be connected to the vertical frame elements 3 via a T-connection or a screw connection.

[0018] These unitized curtain wall modules are used for so-called unitized curtain walls. A unitized curtain wall is typically formed by several unitized curtain wall modules arranged side by side and / or one above the other. The unitized curtain wall modules can be completely prefabricated in the factory and assembled on site. During assembly, the unitized curtain wall modules are attached to a supporting structure and can be connected to each other using sealing elements. This allows for the simple assembly of large-area facades.

[0019] As from Figure 2As can be seen, the upper and lower horizontal frame elements 2 of the element facade module 1 shown in a longitudinal section are formed from a first frame part 12 facing the outside of the building and a second frame part 13, which is rigidly connected to it and faces the inside of the building. In the embodiment shown, the two frame parts 12 and 13 of the upper and lower horizontal frame elements 2, which are manufactured here as extruded aluminum profiles, are rigidly connected to each other by means of a screw connection 14. On the inside of the first frame part 12 facing the outside of the building, an upper outer horizontal facade element receptacle 15 is provided on the upper horizontal frame element 2 for receiving the upper edge of the first outer facade element 5, which is designed here as multiple glazing.On the inside of the second frame part 13 on the upper frame element 2, an upper inner horizontal facade element receptacle 16 is provided for receiving the upper edge of the inner facade element 7, which is designed here as safety glazing.

[0020] The lower edge of the first outer facade element 5, designed here as multiple glazing, is sealed on the upper side of a web 17 projecting from the support profile 9 by means of outer and inner seals 18 and 19 and is held by a horizontal pressure bar 20 fastened by screws. The upper edge of the second outer facade element 6, designed here as a panel, is arranged on the lower side of the web 17 on the horizontal support profile 9 and is also fixed by the pressure bar 20. The lower edge of the second outer facade element 6, designed here as a panel, is arranged in a lower outer facade element receptacle 21 of the lower horizontal frame element 2.The upper and lower horizontal frame elements 2 are identical in design, however, the lower edge of the inner facade element 7 is not held in the frame part 13, but in an upwardly open inner facade element receptacle 22 on the top of the inner support profile 10.

[0021] In the space 23 formed between the outer facade element 5 and the inner facade element 7 of the in Figure 2 In the element facade module 1 shown, a heat exchanger 24, designed here as an air-liquid heat exchanger, is housed in the lower area of ​​the supporting frame 4. Such a heat exchanger 24 can contain pipes 25, around which an airflow flows, in a manner known per se, through which water or another suitable heat-conducting medium is guided. In the Figures 1 to 3In the illustrated embodiment, the heat exchanger 24 is spaced from the lower horizontal frame element 2 of the support frame 4 and arranged between the outer support profile 9 and the middle support profile 11. For this purpose, angled brackets 26 are attached to the facing side surfaces of the outer support profile 9 and the middle support profile 11. The heat exchanger 24 can be placed onto these brackets 26.

[0022] A fan 27 is arranged on the underside of the upper horizontal frame element 2 to generate air circulation within the space 23 bounded by the outer facade element 5 and the inner facade element 7. A partition element 28, arranged between the fan 27 and the lower support structure 8 and parallel to the outer facade element 5 and the inner facade element 7, divides the space 23 into an outer area 29 adjacent to the outer facade element 5 and an inner area 30 adjacent to the inner facade element 7. The partition element 28, designed here as a separating disc, is held with its lower edge in an upwardly open first partition element receptacle 31 of the central support profile 11. The upper edge of the partition element 28 is held in a downwardly open second partition element receptacle 32 of an upper support profile 33 located on the underside of the fan 27.The support profiles 10, 11 and 33 are designed as identical parts and have the same cross-section.

[0023] An air guide plate 34 is attached to the underside of the two outer and inner support profiles 9 and 10. This air guide plate 34 directs the air flowing from top to bottom through the heat exchanger 24 to the inner area 30 of the cavity 23, which faces the interior of the building. A sunshade device 35, designed here as a louver, is arranged in the outer area 29 of the cavity 23, which faces the exterior of the building.

[0024] The fan 27 is designed such that the airflow it generates is directed downwards in the outer area 29 of the space 23 to the heat exchanger 24. After passing through the heat exchanger 24, the air is directed upwards again to the fan 27 via the inner area 30 of the space 23. At low outside temperatures, the air flowing upwards in the inner area 29 can be heated by the heat exchanger 24, thus heating the interior of the building through controlled heat transfer. Conversely, at high outside temperatures, the air flowing upwards in the inner area 29 can be cooled by the heat exchanger 24, thus cooling the interior of the building through controlled heat extraction.

[0025] Even those in Figure 3The vertical frame elements 3 of the supporting frame 4 shown in the illustrated embodiment are also formed from a first frame part 36 facing the interior of the building and a second frame part 37, which is firmly connected to the first frame part 36 and also faces the interior of the building. In the illustrated embodiment, the two frame parts 36 and 37 of the two vertical frame elements 3, which are manufactured here as extruded aluminum profiles, are firmly connected to each other by means of a screw connection 38.

[0026] As can be seen from the enlarged representation of a vertical frame element 3 of Figure 4As can be seen, a first facade element receptacle 39 is provided on the inside of the first frame section 36, which faces the outside of the building, for receiving the lateral edge of the first outer facade element 5, which is designed here as multiple glazing. A second facade element receptacle 40 is arranged on the inside of the second frame section 37, which faces the inside of the building, for receiving the lateral edge of the second facade element 7, which is designed here as safety glazing. Between the first facade element receptacle 39 and the second facade element receptacle 40, a partition element receptacle 41 is provided on the inside of the vertical frame element 3 for receiving the lateral edge of the partition element 28, which is designed here as a partition pane.

[0027] In the embodiment shown, the partition element receptacle 41 is arranged in the second frame section 37. Seals 42 for sealing the facade elements 5, 7 and the partition element 28 against the vertical frame element 3 are arranged in the first facade element receptacle 39, the second facade element receptacle 40, and the partition element receptacle 41. A bracket 43 for the sunshade 35 is also arranged on the inside of the first frame section 36 between the first facade element receptacle 39 and the partition element receptacle 41. The bracket 43 can be arranged on the outside of the frame section 36 or integrated into the frame section 36. Seal receptacles 44 for receiving lateral sealing elements 45 are also provided on the outside of both frame sections 36 and 37. These sealing elements 45 allow one unitized facade module to be sealed against another unitized facade module arranged next to it.

[0028] In the execution of Figure 4 The first facade element receptacle 39 on the first frame part 36 is bounded by an angled inner part 46, an outer part 48 connected to it via insulating webs 47, and a pressure strip 49. The lateral edge of the facade element 5, which here is designed as multiple glazing, is sealed and fixed via an outer seal 51 by means of the vertical pressure strip 49, which is attached to the outer part 48 by means of screws 50. Figure 4 It is also evident that the second frame part 37 has a projecting rib 52 for engaging in a stepped recess 53 on the first frame part 36. This allows for a stable and precisely positioned connection between the two frame parts 36 and 37. Furthermore, a receiving chamber 54 for wiring, control units, or the like is provided on the outside of the second frame part 37.

[0029] In the Figures 5 and 6Two further embodiments for attaching the first facade element 5 to the first frame part 36 of the vertical frame element 3 are shown. In the execution of Figure 5 The first facade element receptacle 39 on the frame part 36 is bounded by the angled inner part 46, an insulating piece 55, and the pressure strip 49. A retaining screw 57, which engages through the pressure strip 49 and the insulating piece 55 into a screw channel 56, fixes the facade element 5, designed as multiple glazing, to the first frame part 36 with its lateral edges. In the execution of Figure 6 The first facade element receptacle 39 on the frame part 36 is formed by the angled inner part 46, the outer part 48 connected to it via insulating webs 47, and a pressure strip 58. In contrast to the design of Figure 4 Here, the pressure bar 58 is not screwed in place, but is connected to the outer part 48 via a clip connection.

[0030] In Figure 7 Another embodiment of a unitized facade module 1 is shown. In contrast to the embodiment of the Figures 1 to 3 In a design where a glazed section is installed on the upper part of the exterior as the first outer facade element 5 and a second facade element 6, designed as a panel, is installed on the lower part, a continuous outer facade element 5 designed as multiple glazing is provided on the exterior. The outer facade element 5 is positioned with its upper edge in the upper outer facade element receptacle 15 of the first frame section 12 on the upper horizontal frame element 2 and with its lower edge in the lower outer facade element receptacle 21 of the first frame section 12 on the lower horizontal frame element 2. The outer horizontal support profile 9 is connected to the inside of the outer facade element 5 via a sealing strip 59. Otherwise, the embodiment corresponds to the Figure 7the exemplary embodiment of Figure 2 , so that corresponding components are also provided with the same reference numerals.

[0031] At the in Figure 8In the further embodiment of a unitized facade module 1 shown, the heat exchanger 24 is installed vertically in the unitized facade module 1, rather than horizontally. Here, the heat exchanger 24 is arranged on the second frame section 13 of the lower horizontal frame element 2, which faces the interior of the building. The partition element 28 is arranged between the heat exchanger 24 and the fan 27 via the support profiles 11 and 33. In this embodiment, no separate support structure is required for the heat exchanger 24. The outer facade element 5, designed as multiple glazing, is positioned with its upper edge in the upper outer facade element receptacle 15 of the first frame section 12 on the upper horizontal frame element 2 and with its lower edge in the lower outer facade element receptacle 21 of the first frame section 12 on the lower horizontal frame element 2.The inner facade element 7, designed as safety glazing, is arranged with its upper edge in the upper inner horizontal facade element receptacle 16 of the second frame part 13 on the upper horizontal frame element 2 and with its lower edge in a lower inner horizontal facade element receptacle 60 of the second frame part 13 on the lower horizontal frame element 2.
