AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing installation channels for buildings require complicated fixings and do not effectively insulate against cold and noise, while also failing to provide a stable connection between utility ducts and exterior walls.

Method used

The use of trapezoidal recesses in a wooden structure, force-fitted to a sandwich panel wall, which includes a core of aluminum and polyurethane foam, with metal connections between vertical and horizontal beams for stability and insulation, and optionally filled with gypsum board for additional support and sound insulation.

Benefits of technology

Provides a simple, cost-effective, and load-bearing solution for installing utility ducts that insulates against cold and noise, while creating a stable connection with exterior walls, enabling efficient construction of residential buildings.

[0002] Construction for walls of houses and halls

[0003] The invention relates to constructions for walls of houses and halls which include supply channels.

[0004] In the construction industry, a wide variety of constructions with various supply and installation channels are known.

[0005] German patent DE 2204221A describes cover strips for channel-shaped ducts. These are primarily installation ducts where the side walls have webs extending inwards at approximately right angles at their upper ends.

[0006] Installation channels for recessed installation in floors, walls and ceilings of buildings are described in DE 2365732A, wherein the channels consist of individual U-shaped sub-parts in cross-section which can be closed with a cover.

[0007] DE 2222295A describes channels with a trough-like cross-section for accommodating installation lines in buildings. The open side of the trough is lined with a

[0008] Covers provided. Additional installation channels for floors, ceilings and walls for

[0009] The installation of various lines is described in DE 2337628A.

[0010] In DE 2343169A, building components for prefabricated buildings, especially prefabricated halls, are described, with the focus on the heating, ventilation or air conditioning of such halls.

[0011] Disadvantages of the known installation channels include the complicated fixings required in buildings.

[0012] The challenge, therefore, was to find a simple system for laying cables on or in buildings that could be installed quickly and was also cost-effective. A way was also sought to easily equip houses and halls with utility ducts while simultaneously insulating the exterior walls against cold and noise.

[0013] The problem could be solved using the features of the main claim. The invention includes

[0014] Construction 2 for walls of houses and halls

[0015] The supply channels are preferably made of wood. In particular, the supply channels are in the form of recesses 3 in a structure 2, which is force-fitted to the house wall. The house wall preferably consists of a sandwich panel 1. A sandwich panel consists of a layer of aluminum, polyurethane (foamed), and another layer of aluminum. The polyurethane foam is located between the two aluminum layers or panels. In a particular embodiment of the invention, a gypsum board 8 is located on the structure 2. The recesses 3 of the structure 2 are preferably trapezoidal in shape. The trapezoidal shape of the supply channels prevents cables or conduits, for example, electrical cables and water pipes, from falling out of the recess 3.The vertical beams 14, 14a, 14b of the structure 2 are connected to the horizontal beams 15 by means of a metal structure 13, preferably to stabilize the wooden structure 2 and to stiffen the entire structure. The metal structure 13 can be located at any connection point between vertical beams 14 and horizontal beams 15. In another embodiment, insulation is located between the vertical beams 14a, 14b of the structure 2.

[0016] 12, preferably sound insulation. The invention further consists in the use of a construction 2 for increasing the statics of walls.

[0017] According to the invention, the vertical beams 14, 14a, 14b of the structure 2 are connected to the horizontal beams 15 by means of a metal structure 13, whereby the pressure is distributed on the horizontal beams 15.

[0018] Drawings

[0019] Figure 1 shows a construction according to the invention in side view.

[0020] Figure 2 shows a construction according to the invention in a lateral three-dimensional view.

[0021] Figure 1 shows a construction 2 according to the invention, extending from the roof 4 to the foundation 11. A sandwich panel 1 is shown, onto which a wooden construction 2 according to the invention is attached. This construction 2 has several trapezoidal recesses 3 for accommodating cables and pipes. In this embodiment, a gypsum board 8 is located on the construction 2. Also shown in this figure are: the ceiling 5 of the house or hall, insulation 6 on the ceiling 5, and screed 7. Towards the floor, there is again screed 7 and insulation 9, and below that, concrete 10 and the foundation 11.

[0022] Figure 2 shows the sandwich panel 1 with the wooden construction 2 according to the invention, which consists of vertical beams 14a, 14b and horizontal beams 15. The vertical beams 14a, 14b have several trapezoidal recesses 3 for accommodating cables and pipes. The vertical beams 14a, 14b are connected to the horizontal beams 15 by means of a metal structure 13 and stabilize the connection between the vertical beams 14a, 14b and the horizontal beams 15 in the construction 2. In this particular embodiment of the invention, sound insulation 12 is located between the vertical beams 14a, 14b.

[0023] List of designations

[0024] The inventive design provides an elegant and cost-effective solution for supply channels as well as

[0025] The invention addresses the need to install insulation on a house wall and to create a stable connection between a simple house wall and a structure with service ducts. Until now, exterior walls made of sandwich panels could not bear any loads. The inventive construction achieves this because it is load-bearing due to the force-fit connection to the exterior wall. Without such a connection, it would buckle. Thus, a relatively thin structure, preferably a wooden one, makes it possible to bear large loads, such as ceilings. This creates an excellent opportunity to build technically sophisticated, fast, and cost-effective residential buildings in the future.
