Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Rahmenkonstruktion für optisch rahmenlose Verglasungen (= "structural glazing"). Mit der "structural glazing"-Bauweise werden durchgängige, rahmenlose Glasfassaden an Gebäuden realisiert. Die Verglasung wird hierbei an aus Pfosten- und Riegelprofilen bestehenden Fassadenprofilen derart befestigt, daß beim Blick auf die Gebäudefassade der Eindruck des Vorhandenseins einer einzigen, großen, durchgängigen Glasscheibe entsteht.The invention relates to a frame construction for optically frameless glazing (= "structural glazing"). With the "structural glazing" construction method, continuous, frameless glass facades are realized on buildings. The glazing is attached to facade profiles consisting of mullion and transom profiles in such a way that when looking at the building facade, the impression of the presence of a single, large, continuous glass pane is created.

Die gesamte Rahmenkonstruktion für die einzelnen Glasscheiben muß demzufolge auf der gebäudeseitigen Fassadenseite komplett ausgeführt sein. Derartige Konstruktionen sind hinreichend bekannt. Aus DE-A-37 40 059 ist beispielsweise eine aus mehreren Pfosten- und Riegelprofilen bestehende Fassadenverkleidung bekannt. Nachteilig bei derartigen herkömmlichen Konstruktionen ist, daß bei der Montage Fräsungen vorgenommen werden müssen, um eindringendes Wasser aus der Konstruktion zu entsorgen. Nachteilig ist weiterhin, daß zwei verschiedene Dichtungen zur Abdichtung des Rahmens nach innen - in Richtung auf das Pfostenprofil - und nach außen - in Richtung auf die Fassade - notwendig sind.The entire frame construction for the individual glass panes must therefore be carried out completely on the facade side of the building. Such constructions are well known. From DE-A-37 40 059, for example, a facade cladding consisting of several mullion and transom profiles is known. A disadvantage of such conventional constructions is that milling must be carried out during assembly in order to dispose of penetrating water from the construction. Another disadvantage is that two different seals for sealing the frame inwards - in the direction of the post profile - and outwards - in the direction of the facade - are necessary.

Aus GB-A-21 37 673 ist eine Pfosten-Riegelkonstruktion bekannt mit einer sich über die gesamte Länge des Pfostenprofils erstreckenden Dichtung, deren Innenquerschnitt als wasserführender Bereich ausgelegt ist. Dieser wasserführende Bereich dient zur vertikalen Entwässerung des gesamten Pfostenprofils über seine gesamte Länge.From GB-A-21 37 673 a mullion-transom construction is known with a gasket extending over the entire length of the mullion profile, the inner cross section of which is designed as a water-carrying area. This water-bearing area is used for vertical drainage of the entire post profile over its entire length.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Rahmenkonstruktion für "structural glazing" zu schaffen, welche durch ihre einfache Bauweise die geschilderten Nachteile vermeidet, insbesondere eine Montage von Pfostenprofilen mit glatten Schnitten und ohne die Notwendigkeit von Fräsungen beim Einsatz von nur einer Dichtung erlaubt.The invention has for its object to provide a frame construction for "structural glazing", which avoids the disadvantages described by its simple construction, in particular an assembly of post profiles with smooth cuts and without the need for milling when using only one seal.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Die Rahmenkonstruktion besteht im wesentlichen aus vertikalen Pfostenprofilen und horizontalen Riegelprofilen mit vorgehängten Isolierglaseinheiten. Die Riegelprofile sind seitlich, etwa rechtwinklig an die Pfostenprofile angeschraubt. Mit den Pfostenprofilen sind sogenannte Modulrahmenprofile verschraubt.The frame construction essentially consists of vertical mullion profiles and horizontal transom profiles with suspended insulating glass units. The transom profiles are screwed to the side profiles, approximately at right angles. So-called module frame profiles are screwed to the post profiles.

Mit diesen Modulrahmenprofilen, die vorzugsweise als Aluminiumrahmen ausgeführt sind, ist eine Isolierglaseinheit zweistufig verklebt. Der Modulrahmen seinerseits weist eine innere und eine äußere Kammer auf. Zwischen der inneren und der äußeren Kammer wirken zur Wärmedämmung Dämmstege. Diese Dämmstege sind zur Belüftung eines zwischen der Isolierglaseinheit und dem Modulrahmen befindlichen Glasfalzraumes mit Belüftungsöffnungen durchsetzt.With these module frame profiles, which are preferably designed as aluminum frames, an insulating glass unit is glued in two stages. The module frame in turn has an inner and an outer chamber. Insulating webs act between the inner and the outer chamber for thermal insulation. These insulation webs are interspersed with ventilation openings for ventilation of a glass rebate space located between the insulating glass unit and the module frame.

Zwischen der äußeren und der inneren Kammer des Modulrahmens ist eine Dichtung eingebracht. Diese weist sowohl eine nach außen wirkende als auch eine nach innen wirkenden Dichtebene auf. Mit ihrer nach innen, raumseitig wirkenden Dichtebene ist die Dichtung umlaufend mit den Pfosten- und den Riegelprofilen verbunden. Mit ihrer nach außen, fassadenseitig wirkenden Dichtebene ist die Dichtung umlaufend mit dem Modulrahmen verbunden. Zwischen der äußeren und der inneren Dichtebene sind im Dichtungsinneren die Oberflächen der Dichtung als wasserführender Bereich ausgeführt. Das Wasser kann in diesem wasserführenden Bereich sowohl in horizontaler als auch in vertikaler Richtung ungehindert fließen.A seal is inserted between the outer and the inner chamber of the module frame. This has both an outwardly acting and an inwardly acting sealing plane. With its inward sealing plane acting on the room side, the seal is connected all the way to the mullion and transom profiles. With its sealing plane, which acts on the facade side, the seal is connected to the module frame all around. Between the outer and the inner sealing plane, the surfaces of the seal are designed as a water-carrying area in the interior of the seal. The water can flow freely in this water-carrying area in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

Die umlaufende Dichtung wird in ihren an den Übergängen zwischen Pfosten- und Riegelprofilen gelegenen Eckbereichen von Öffnungen durchbrochen. Diese Öffnungen münden in eine am Pfostenprofil verlaufende Hohlkammer. Das sich in den wasserführenden Bereichen ansammelnde Wasser wird so durch die Öffnungen in die Hohlkammer am Pfostenprofil geleitet und kann senkrecht in der Hohlkammer entlang dem Pfostenprofil ungehindert abfließen.The circumferential seal is pierced by openings in its corner areas located at the transitions between mullion and transom profiles. These openings open into a hollow chamber running on the post profile. The water that collects in the water-carrying areas is thus conducted through the openings into the hollow chamber on the post profile and can flow freely in the hollow chamber along the post profile.

Die Entlüftungsöffnungen der Dämmstege münden in den wasserführenden Bereich der Dichtung. Durch die Öffnungen im Eckbereich der Dichtung kann somit auch ungehindert Luft zu- oder abfließen. Die erfindungsgemäße Rahmenkonstruktion ermöglicht somit gleichzeitig die Entwässerung der Konstruktion (nach unten) und den Druckausgleich (nach oben). Aufgrund der umlaufenden Dichtung und der Auslegung ihrer die äußeren und die innere Dichtebene verbindenen Oberflächen als wasserführender Bereich können die Riegelprofile einfach an die Pfostenprofile angeschraubt werden ohne durch Fräsungen Übergänge zur Führung von Luft oder Wasser zu schaffen.The ventilation openings of the insulating webs open into the water-bearing area of the seal. Air can flow in or out through the openings in the corner area of the seal. The frame construction according to the invention thus enables the drainage of the construction (downwards) and the pressure compensation (upwards) at the same time. Due to the all-round seal and the design of its surfaces connecting the outer and inner sealing planes as a water-carrying area, the transom profiles can simply be screwed onto the mullion profiles without milling to create transitions for guiding air or water.

Die in der Fig. 1 dargestellte Rahmenkonstruktion für "structural glazing" besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Pfostenprofil 1, aus einem an diesem angeschraubten, in der Fig. 2 dargestellten Riegelprofil 2, einem Modulrahmen 3, einer umlaufenden Dichtung 4 und einer mit dem Modulrahmen zweistufig verklebten Isolierglaseinheit 5. Das in Horizontalrichtung 6 verlaufende Riegelprofil 2 ist an das senkrecht stehende, in Vertikalrichtung 7 verlaufende Pfostenprofil 1 derart angeschraubt, daß das Riegelprofil 2 etwa rechtwinklig zum Pfostenprofil 1 verläuft.The frame construction shown in FIG. 1 for "structural glazing" essentially consists of a post profile 1, a bolt profile 2 screwed to it, shown in FIG. 2, a module frame 3, a circumferential seal 4 and one with the module frame in two stages glued insulating glass unit 5. The transom profile 2 extending in the horizontal direction 6 is screwed to the vertical post profile 1 extending in the vertical direction 7 such that the transom profile 2 runs approximately at right angles to the post profile 1.

An dem mehrteiligen Pfostenprofil 1 ist der aus einer Innenkammer 8 und einer Außenkammer 9 zusammengesetzte Modulrahmen 3 befestigt.The modular frame 3 composed of an inner chamber 8 and an outer chamber 9 is fastened to the multi-part post profile 1.

Die Innenkammer 8 und die Außenkammer 9 sind durch die wärmedämmenden Dämmstege 10 miteinander verbunden. Die aus einer Außenscheibe 11 und einer Innenscheibe 12 bestehende Isolierglaseinheit 5 ist mit dem Modulrahmen 3 derart zweistufig verbunden, vorzugsweise verklebt, daß die Innenseite der Außenscheibe 11 mit der Außenkammer 9 und die Innenscheibe 12 mit der Innenkammer 8 des Modulrahmens 3 verbunden ist.The inner chamber 8 and the outer chamber 9 are connected to one another by the heat-insulating insulating webs 10. The insulating glass unit 5 consisting of an outer pane 11 and an inner pane 12 is connected to the module frame 3 in two stages, preferably glued, such that the inside of the outer pane 11 is connected to the outer chamber 9 and the inner pane 12 is connected to the inner chamber 8 of the module frame 3.

Die Außenscheibe 11 und die Innenscheibe 12 sind durch eine senkrecht zur Horizontalrichtung 6 und zur Vertikalrichtung 7 verlaufende, als Glasfalz 13 ausgebildete Stirnkante miteinander verbunden. Im Montageendzustand entsteht zwischen der Außenkammer 9 und dem Glasfalz 13 ein Glasfalzraum 14, zu dessen Be- und Entlüftung die Dämmstege 10 von Belüftungsöffnungen 15 durchsetzt sind.The outer pane 11 and the inner pane 12 are connected to one another by an end edge which is perpendicular to the horizontal direction 6 and the vertical direction 7 and is designed as a glass fold 13. In the final assembly state, a glass rebate space 14 is formed between the outer chamber 9 and the glass rebate 13, for the ventilation of which the insulation webs 10 are penetrated by ventilation openings 15.

Ein an der Außenkammer 9 jeweils ausgebildeter Anschlagsteg 16 liegt fest an einer dem Gebäude abgewandten Außenstirnseite 17 der Dichtung 4 an. Eine der Außenstirnseite 17 gegenüberliegende, dem Gebäude zugewandte Innenstirnseite 18 der Dichtung 4 liegt beim Verlauf der Dichtung in Vertikalrichtung 7 am Pfostenprofil 1 und beim Verlauf der Dichtung 4 in Horizontalrichtung 6 am Riegelprofil 2 an. Die Außenstirnseite 17 und die Innenstirnseite 18 der um den Modulrahmen 3 umlaufenden Dichtung 4 bilden somit eine äußere, fassadenseitige und eine innere, raumseitige Dichtebene.A stop web 16 each formed on the outer chamber 9 bears firmly against an outer end face 17 of the seal 4 facing away from the building. An inner end face 18 of the seal 4, which is opposite the outer end face 17 and faces the building, bears on the mullion profile 1 in the course of the seal in the vertical direction 7 and on the transom profile 2 in the course of the seal 4 in the horizontal direction 6. The outer face 17 and the inner face 18 of the seal 4 surrounding the module frame 3 thus form an outer, facade-side and an inner, room-side sealing plane.

Die nach der Fassadenseite und nach der Raumseite wirkende Dichtung 4 ist nach Art eines Dichtungsrahmens derart ausgeführt, daß ihr Innenquerschnitt 19 eine etwa L-förmige Gestalt aufweist (Fig. 4). Die beiden L-Schenkel des Innenquerschnitts 19 bilden zwischen sich einen Eckbereich 20. Diesem Eckbereich 20 ist auf der Innenstirnseite 18 das Pfostenprofil 1 zugewandt, wobei sich in Horizontalrichtung 6 das Riegelprofil 2 anschließt. Im Eckbereich 20 wird die Dichtung 4 von einer in Richtung auf das Pfostenprofil hin verlaufenden Entwässerungsöffnung 21 durchsetzt.The seal 4 acting on the facade side and on the room side is designed in the manner of a sealing frame in such a way that its inner cross section 19 has an approximately L-shaped shape (FIG. 4). The two L-legs of the inner cross-section 19 form a corner region 20 between them. This corner region 20 is facing the mullion profile 1 on the inner end face 18, the transom profile 2 being connected in the horizontal direction 6. In the corner region 20, the seal 4 is penetrated by a drainage opening 21 running in the direction of the post profile.

Der aus den Oberflächen 22 bestehende L-förmige Innenquerschnitt 19 wirkt zwischen der Außenstirnseite 17 und der Innenstirnseite 18 derart als wasserführender Bereich, daß im Modulrahmen befindliches Wasser über die Oberflächen 22 in Richtung auf die Eckbereiche 20 fließt und sich dort sammelt. Das in den Eckbereichen 20 gesammelte Wasser entweicht durch die Entwässerungsöffnung 21 in eine am Pfostenprofil 1 befindliche, in Vertikalrichtung 7 verlaufende Hohlkammer 23. Die Hohlkammer 23 erstreckt sich in Vertikalrichtung 7 über die gesamte Länge des Pfostenprofils 1, wodurch das durch die Entwässerungsöffnung 21 eingetretene Wasser ungehindert in Vertikalrichtung 7 nach unten abfließen kann.The L-shaped inner cross section 19 consisting of the surfaces 22 acts between the outer end face 17 and the inner end face 18 as a water-carrying area such that water located in the module frame flows over the surfaces 22 in the direction of the corner areas 20 and collects there. The water collected in the corner regions 20 escapes through the drainage opening 21 into a hollow chamber 23 located on the post profile 1 and extending in the vertical direction 7. The hollow chamber 23 extends in the vertical direction 7 over the entire length of the post profile 1, as a result of which the water which has entered through the drainage opening 21 can flow down freely in the vertical direction 7.

Durch die Belüftungsöffnungen 15 in den Dämmstegen 10 ist der Glasfalzraum 14 räumlich und thermodynamisch mit dem Innenquerschnitt 19 verbunden. Aufgrund der räumlichen und thermodynamischen Verbindung des Glasfalzraumes 14 mit dem Innenquerschnitt 19 kann im Glasfalzraum 14 vorhandene Luft durch die Belüftungsöffnungen 15 und die Entwässerungsöffnung 21 in die Hohlkammer 23 entweichen. Durch die Hohlkammer 23 wird gleichzeitig die Entsorgung des vorhandenen Wassers in Vertikalrichtung 7 nach unten und der notwendige Druckausgleich in Vertikalrichtung 7 nach oben bewerkstelligt.Through the ventilation openings 15 in the insulating webs 10, the glass rebate 14 is spatially and thermodynamically connected to the inner cross section 19. Due to the spatial and thermodynamic connection of the rebate space 14 with the inner cross section 19, air present in the rebate space 14 can escape through the ventilation openings 15 and the drainage opening 21 into the hollow chamber 23. Through the hollow chamber 23, the disposal of the existing water in the vertical direction 7 downward and the necessary pressure equalization in the vertical direction 7 upward is simultaneously accomplished.
