Description

DESCRIPTION

Fixing device for panels

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a device for fixing panels in building construction and public works, for example in a ventilated façade or in a façade of panels marketed as “GRC stud trame.” These GRC panels are made of concrete panels with fiberglass and a metal frame The device comprises a series of elements coupled to the panel and the structure, and which collaborate with each other to increase their effectiveness.

STATE OF THE ART

By building with prefabricated elements, a first structure is created that is later clad with panels, for example fiberglass-reinforced concrete. These panels must be fastened to the structure using fixings that do not require extensive work on site. In addition, in order to optimally store and transport the panels, it is convenient that there are no protruding elements that can be damaged or that increase the space occupied by each panel.

The systems currently used are based on the welding of fittings on site with all the inconveniences that this entails: long assembly time, difficulty in controlling the welds, poor protection against corrosion, inability to adjust once welded. In addition, they are anchors made especially for each project, there is no standard system in the market for fixing GRC stud frame panels to vertical walls.

The applicant of this utility model has also developed the solution covered by utility model ESI 225641U, which is considered the state of the art closest to the invention. This utility model is intended to be attached to horizontal surfaces, but cannot be attached to vertical surfaces.

The applicant does not know of any solution that can be considered similar to the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a fixing device for panels according to the claims. Its different embodiments solve the problems of the state of the art and provide notable advantages.

The fixing device for panels is designed to allow forces to be transmitted between a panel, especially vertical walls, and a bearing structure. For this, it comprises an angular plate with two wings or sides and which can be reinforced by gussets. A first side is intended to be attached to the structure by any sufficiently strong means. The second side is intended to support the panel, and is generally orthogonal to the first side. On this second side there is a support that has a "U" support plate where a plate is attached to the panel. The edges of this U-shaped plate can be inclined to facilitate the centering of the plate.

The plate is attached to the panel in any sturdy way. For example by means of U-bolts fixed to the plate and insertable in the panel, for example surrounding a perimeter frame of the panel.

In the most preferred embodiment, the second side comprises a slotted hole for fixing the support by means of one or more screws. This elongated hole may have roughness around it to increase friction with the support.

To facilitate mounting in the elongated hole, the support can comprise a support base plate on the second side where the heads of the screws can be retained, for example by welding, retaining their heads and facilitating the tightening of the nut. In this way, the nut can be tightened until the required torque is reached.

Other variants will be described later.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention will be briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

Figure 1 shows an exploded view of an embodiment of the invention. This example comprises an angle plate (1) with a first side (11) and a second side (12) arranged at an angle of 905. The first side (11) comprises a series of first holes (111) for fixing to the structure ( 2). The first holes (111) shown are arranged in pairs at different levels or distances from the second side (12)). The second side (12) has a slotted hole (121) perpendicular to the first side (11) and may have roughness (122) around this slotted hole (121) on the internal side of the angle plate (1). The roughnesses (122) can be teeth, ripples ... or any type of change in the surface that increases friction.

The device comprises a support (3) fixable to the oblong hole (121) by one or more screws (4). The support (3) is made up of a base plate (31) and a support plate (32) in a "U" shape. The base plate (31) rests on the second side (12), especially on the roughnesses (122), for which it can have a similar shape, which engages in them. A weld (311) can be made to prevent the rotation of the corresponding screws (4), so that the nut is the one who tightens. The support plate (32) is arranged perpendicular to the base plate (31), and oriented parallel to the elongated hole (121) of the second side (12) of the angle plate (1).

The support plate (32) in "U" has sloping edges to facilitate the centering of the support of a plate (5), parallel to the first side (11) of the angle plate (1). This plate (5) has pairs of through holes (51) for gripping each U-shaped buckle (6). The U-bolts (6) are inserted or surround the profile of the panel frame (7) that is to be fixed to the structure (2) (figure 2). The plate (5) shown is rectangular and has a recess in the area of contact with the support plate (32). A series of irregularities can be made, such as teeth, to help friction with the frame of the panel (7) which has its own complementary irregularities or in a sheet fixed to it.

The plate (5) is fixed to the panel (7) by means of U - bolts Ios (6) and self - drilling screws (8) or similar system, so that the panel (7) is fully secured to the plate. The upper part of the panel can be fixed by "L" plates to the structure of a higher floor.
