Abstract
Description
[0001] CLADDING PANEL OF A SPATIAL-ROD FRAME
[0002] Field of technology
[0003] The invention relates to the field of construction, in particular to a cladding panel for a spatial-rod frame and can be used to create wall structures, ceilings and complex domed structures for various purposes.
[0004] Prior art
[0005] A finishing panel is known from the prior art (patent WO20 19 / 212076, IPC E04F 13 / 08). To form a thermal insulation structure, the space between the frame and the connecting frame of the finishing panel is filled. A filler, such as silicone, is injected to seal and bond the finishing panel to the filling space, or the work is completed by installing a sealing material.
[0006] In addition, the invention has a structure in which a support rib formed in the frame protrudes towards a filling space formed between the frame and the connecting frame of the finishing panel.
[0007] The invention creates a cavity in a closed structure on one side, between the connecting frame and the framework, to form a thermal insulation layer that prevents condensation and blocks heat transfer. It also forms a thermal insulation layer by filling the cavity with polyurethane foam.
[0008] The disadvantages of this invention are the difficulty of installation and the difficulty of removing the finishing panels due to the fact that after the panels are secured, an insulating material is injected that must be removed to remove them, which in turn delays the assembly process.
[0009] A waterproof panel assembly is known from the prior art (Korean Patent for Invention No. 102392433, IPC E04B 1 / 64, E04B 1 / 66, E04C 2 / 296. E04D 11 / 02). According to the invention, a plurality of panel elements located at a certain distance from each other form at least two rows and two columns; a lower connecting structure configured to connect them to each other on the lower side of the plurality of panel elements; and an upper closing structure configured to close the area between them; and a plurality of lower connecting elements located in each of the outer regions of a plurality of flaps of a transverse connection socket; including the transverse connection socket includes a plurality of fastening pin elements protruding upward toward the plurality of flaps. The plurality of fastening pin elements are provided
[0010] 1
[0011] A REPLACEMENT SHEET in the inner region located within the wing-shaped portion. Each of the multiple panel elements has a lower groove formed on its lower surface by the attachment of a fastening pin.
[0012] Two or more fastening pins are provided in the inner region of each wing of the connector socket. Each fastening pin has a curved top.
[0013] When a panel element is connected to the lower connecting structure, the socket protrusion is inserted into the lower groove of each of the panel elements.
[0014] The disadvantages of this invention are the complexity of installation work due to the sequential installation of a large number of elements, as well as the fragility of the mounting pins.
[0015] Disclosure of invention
[0016] The problem that the invention is aimed at solving is to simplify the design of the cladding panel of a spatial-rod frame and to reduce the labor intensity of construction and installation works.
[0017] The technical result achieved by the invention consists in simplifying and increasing the speed of assembly due to the standardization of parts, as well as improving the hydro-, noise- and heat-insulating properties of the spatial-rod frame.
[0018] The technical result is achieved by a facing panel of a space-rod frame, made of a quadrangular shape in cross-section with beveled edges, containing a base and an overlay, wherein the base is made in the form of a frame with fixing elements on the inside and projections along the perimeter on the outside and is connected to the overlay, which includes a central part of a quadrangular shape with a groove along its perimeter and a bent edge, which is made of a smaller height compared to the central section of the overlay and is placed on the projections of the base frame, wherein projections for a waterproofing material are made on the opposite walls of the groove.

[0028] Embodiments of the invention
[0029] The spatial rod frame (1) comprises rods (2), nodal elements (3) with holes (4) for fastening the rods (2), and a coupling (5) for connecting the rods (2) in series. The spatial rod frame (1) may additionally include hexagonal lock nuts for fixing the coupling (5) (Fig. 1).
[0030] The rod (2) of the spatial rod frame (1) is a hollow, monolithic cylindrical tube. Both ends of the rod are externally threaded for direct attachment to the nodal element (3).
[0031] To enable and facilitate screwing in the rod (2), as well as to secure the facing panel (6), a gripping part (7) with gripping stops (8) is provided on it.
[0032] The facing panel (6) of the spatial-rod frame (1) is made in such a way that it forms the facing covering of the spatial-rod frame.
[0033] In a particular case, the cladding panel (6) of the spatial-rod frame can be used for both external and internal cladding.
[0034] The facing panel (6) of the spatial-rod frame contains a base (9) and an overlay (10).
[0035] The facing panel (6) is an element of a quadrangular cross-section with beveled edges.
[0036] The base (9) can be made blind or through depending on the installation location (floor, ceiling, windows, walls).
[0037] The base (9) is made in the form of a frame with fixing elements on the inside and projections along the perimeter on the outside and is connected to the overlay (10).
[0038] The material used is a polymer material with a density of 350 kg / m3. 3 up to 1200 kg / m 3 , for example, polyurethane foam, where component A is “CAD-100”, and component B Wannate is PM 200 or plastic: ABS, polypropylene, polyamide, PLP2-plastic compound.
[0039] 3
[0040] SUBSTITUTE SHEET The blind base comprises a central portion surrounded by a frame with retaining elements (11) on the inside and projections along the frame's perimeter. The through base comprises a frame with retaining elements on the inside and projections along the frame's perimeter.
[0041] The base frame projections are made with cuts (12) at the corners to form a mounting platform.
[0042] The fixing elements (13) are located on the inside of the frame and are prismatic with an arc-shaped recess across the entire width. The junction of the arc-shaped portion (14) and the upper end is chamfered to allow for the unimpeded attachment and removal of the cladding panel from the rod (2) of the space-rod frame.
[0043] The design of the locking element (13) allows it to be quickly and easily installed between the nodes of the space-frame structure. The projections of the locking element (13) engage the gripping portion (7) of the rod (2) of the space-frame structure such that the gripping stops (8) on the rod prevent its displacement. This design of the locking elements (13) simplifies the process and increases the speed of assembly of the space-frame structure.
[0044] The minimum number of fixing elements (13) on the base is four. A cutout (15) is made in the center of the folded edge of the frame for the waterproofing element.
[0045] The cover (10) comprises a flat central part (16), a trapezoidal channel (17) along its perimeter, and a bent edge (18), the bent edge (18) being of a smaller height than the central part (16) to enable flush installation of the waterproofing material and positioned on the projections of the base frame. The difference in height between the central part (16) and the edge (18) is determined by the thickness of the waterproofing material, in order to avoid protruding parts during installation of the spatial-rod framework and to improve the waterproofing and noise insulation properties. A cutout for the waterproofing material is made in the middle of the bent edge similar to the projections of the base. Projections (19) are made on the opposite walls of the channel (17), the profile of which corresponds to the profile of the projections of the waterproofing material. All this improves the waterproofing properties and prevents heat loss, moisture ingress, and contributes to improved noise insulation.
[0046] In the projections (19) grooves are made for the ends of the waterproofing materials placed at the junction of adjacent panels.
[0047] 4
[0048] REPLACEMENT SHEET In a specific case, the overlay (10) of the cladding panel of the space-rod frame can be made transparent or "tinted," that is, made of materials that alter the color and light transmittance properties. For the production of such a cladding panel, monolithic polycarbonate or polystyrene is used.
[0049] In a special case, the cladding panel of a space-rod frame can be made opaque. In this case, polyamide, polystyrene, or other plastics with similar properties are used for its production.
[0050] In a particular case, the facing panel can be made with a transparent central part made of monolithic polycarbonate.
[0051] The base (9) and cover (10) are joined together during the molding process by inserting the preformed cover into a molding tool in an injection molding machine, followed by pouring the base made of foamed polymer material. This results in a one-piece, factory-made cladding panel.
[0052] In a particular case, the cladding panel (6) of the space-rod frame can be beveled (18) at 45° on one or both sides, such that when at least two cladding panels are joined with the beveled sides, an internal corner is formed. The beveled side does not contain any fixing elements.
[0053] In a specific case, the cladding panel (6) of the space-frame can be made with fasteners on the cover plate (10), such as corner bosses. The fasteners are spaced evenly and are designed to accommodate the space-frame rod. They help center the support of the space-frame.
[0054] Example 1
[0055] A space-frame panel for wall, ceiling, or floor cladding is manufactured with a solid base containing a frame with fixing elements and an opaque overlay. The overlay can be customized in color and texture, depending on the intended use or customer preferences.
[0056] 5
[0057] SUBSTITUTE SHEET Example 2 "
[0058] The cladding panel of the space-rod frame, intended for window cladding, is manufactured with a through base containing a frame with fixing elements and a transparent or “tinted” overlay.
[0059] Example 3
[0060] The cladding panel of the space-rod frame, designed to form the internal corners of the space-rod frame, is made with a solid base and a 45" bevel on one side. The side with the bevel is made without fixing elements.
[0061] Example 4
[0062] A space-rod frame cladding panel, designed to form internal corners of two walls-to-floor or two walls-to-ceiling, uses a cladding panel with a solid base and a 45° bevel on both sides. The beveled sides are made without fixing elements.
[0063] Example 5
[0064] The cladding panel of the space-rod frame, designed to form external corners, is made with a solid base and a 45-degree bevel on one side. The beveled side is made without fixing elements, and grooves for corner waterproofing are made in the protrusions.
[0065] Implementation of a utility model
[0066] After the spatial-rod framework (1) has been assembled, the facing panel (6) is installed on it in such a way that the fixing elements (13) of the facing panel engage with the gripping portion (7) of the rod (2) of the spatial-rod framework, and the gripping limiters (8) on it prevent the facing panel (6) from shifting during installation work, as well as during the entire period of operation. Further, after the framework has been assembled, the facing panel (3) is secured to it in such a way that every two frames of the facing panel form two U-shaped recesses for the waterproofing material at the joint.
[0067] To cover the internal corners of a space-rod frame, use a facing panel with one side beveled at 45° (Fig. 6). When forming a corner, two panels with beveled corners (Fig. 6) are joined together on one side.
[0068] 6
[0069] SUBSTITUTE SHEET in such a way that they form a right angle and fix the panels on the space-rod frame 1 using fixing elements (13).
[0070] Similarly, an internal angle of a space-rod frame is formed at the junction of the floor and two walls, or the ceiling and two walls. For this, cladding panels with at least two beveled sides are used (Fig. 5), thus forming an angle at three edges.
[0071] After the cladding panel (6) of the space-rod frame is fixed to the space-rod frame, washers with bolts are installed in the nodal elements of the space-rod frame and everything is covered with a waterproofing material made of a U-shaped profile with protrusions that precisely fit the recesses of the frames.
[0072] The advantages of the claimed utility model are the simplicity of assembly and installation work, as well as the possibility of simple and quick replacement in the event of defects occurring during the operation of the spatial-rod frame.
