Facade Fixing Element with Disc Base and Pins
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for producing facade systems, particularly those involving thermal insulation composite systems, are time-consuming and expensive due to the layered structure requirement, which includes a reinforced plaster base coat and subsequent application of stone or panel-shaped facade elements, necessitating a separate reinforced base coat and lengthy drying times.
Innovation Solution
A method using a fixing element with a disc-shaped base body and pin-like or mandrel-like fixing means to temporarily fix the reinforcement fabric directly to the thermal insulation layer, allowing for the omission of a reinforced base coat and enabling direct application of plaster or adhesive, thereby simplifying the process and reducing time and costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a reinforced base coat is applied and allowed to dry completely before bonding facade elements, then the facade elements are securely attached and cracks are prevented, but the production time and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The reinforcement fabric is pre-fixed to the thermal insulation layer using fixing elements with pins that penetrate through the fabric into the insulation layer. This preliminary reinforcement fixation eliminates the need for a separate base coat drying process, as the facade elements can be directly bonded to the already-reinforced surface, thereby removing the time-consuming drying step while maintaining structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts and eliminates the reinforced base coat layer from the traditional facade system. By directly fixing the reinforcement fabric to the thermal insulation layer using the fixing elements, the patent removes the intermediate base coat layer that would otherwise require application and drying time, streamlining the process while maintaining crack prevention and secure attachment functions
2Stability of the object's composition
If multiple layers are produced in several work steps, then the facade system has proper structure and reinforcement, but the process becomes time-consuming and expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the reinforcement fixation step directly with the thermal insulation layer installation. By using fixing elements that simultaneously secure the reinforcement fabric to the insulation layer, the patent combines what would traditionally be separate steps (base coat application, drying, then reinforcement) into a single integrated operation, maintaining structural stability while accelerating production
Solution Approach 2:
The reinforcement fabric is pre-fixed to the thermal insulation layer before facade element installation. This preliminary action ensures proper structural composition is achieved in advance, allowing subsequent steps to proceed without waiting for drying or curing processes, thereby improving productivity while maintaining the required layered structure integrity

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a facade system in which at least one thermal insulation panel (1) is attached to a substrate provided by the building to form a thermal insulation layer (2), a reinforcing mesh (3) is placed on the thermal insulation layer (2), and the reinforcing mesh (3) is fixed to the thermal insulation layer (2), at least temporarily. According to the invention, at least one fixing element (4) with a disc-shaped base body (5) and pin- or spike-like fixing means (6) is used for fixing, and the pin- or spike-like fixing means (6) are pressed through the reinforcing mesh (3) into the thermal insulation layer (2), so that the reinforcing mesh (3) is pressed against the thermal insulation layer (2) via the base body (5) of the fixing element (4). The invention further relates to a device for carrying out the method.
