Definitions
- the present invention relates to an insulated wall panel particularly with thermal and acoustic insulation characteristics.
- WO-A-80 00 232 discloses a panel construction element comprising a combination of features as set forth in the precharacterizing portion of the appended claim 1.
- prefabricated panels are currently used, side by side with conventional construction systems; these panels allow to rationalize and simplify wall building, with obvious benefits in terms of production and installation costs.
- a principal aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned problem by providing a panel which allows to rapidly and easily build, on site, load-bearing walls having considerable strength and high thermal and acoustic insulation characteristics.
- another aim of the present invention is to provide a panel which is simple in concept, has a reduced weight and is easy to install, versatile in use and has a relatively low cost.
- the reference numeral 1 generally designates the panel for building walls with thermal and acoustic insulation characteristics.
- the panel 1 comprises a metal lattice 2 in which an insulating layer 3, made of foamed material such as polystyrene, is interposed. More particularly, the lattice 2 comprises a pair of electrically welded metal nets 4 and 5 having a rectangular mesh and between which the insulating layer 3 is interposed.
- the metal nets 4 and 5 are mutually connected by means of iron elements or rods 6 which are driven transversely through the insulating layer 3.
- the rods 6 are welded to the nets 4 and 5 so as to constitute a rigid and hyperstatic connection for blocking mutual movements.
- the metal nets 4 and 5 and the rods 6 are constituted by wires made of galvanized cold-redrawn high-strength low-carbon steel; the insulating layer 3 is instead preferably made of high-density polystyrene of the self-extinguishing virgin type.
- the insulating layer 3 has, on its opposite faces, parallel undulations which are in practice constituted by an orderly series of vertical grooves 7.
- the metal nets 4 and 5 are associated with the opposite faces of the insulating layer 3 in contact with the crests or ridges formed in between said grooves 7.
- the metal nets 4 and 5 form, with respect to the insulating layer 3, respective wings 4a and 5a which protrude from opposite vertical sides. Said wings are suitable to overlap, during installation, on the adjacent panels, so that in practice they cause the continuity of said metal nets in the wall thus built (see figure 3).
- the insulating layer 3 has, along one vertical end, a raised portion 8 which extends longitudinally and, on the opposite end, a recess 9 whose profile is complementary to that of said raised portion 8.
- the insulating layer 3 is crossed, on its median plane, by a pair of vertical cavities 10 arranged side by side.
- the cavities 3 have a rectangular transverse cross-section with appropriately rounded corners, and their longer sides are parallel to the front faces of the panel.
- the cavities 10 are suitable to accommodate respective metal reinforcement frames 11 which are constituted by a plurality of annular elements 12 which are distributed along horizontal parallel planes and are mutually connected by longitudinal elements 13 which are welded with uniform spacing.
- the reinforcement frames 11 are equally made of high-strength galvanized steel wires.
- the insulating layer 3 is furthermore crossed by horizontal openings 14 formed along the median vertical plane, so as to intersect the cavities 10.
- the openings 14 have a rectangular transverse cross-section and their longer sides are arranged vertically.
- the vertical cavities 10 and the horizontal openings 14 thus form a sort of alveolate interspace along said median plane of the insulating layer 3; said alveolate interspace surrounds a plurality of solid parts 15 which have a vertically elongated shape and the lower end 15a whereof is appropriately chamfered in the shape of a wedge.
- the interspace of the panels is suitable to receive a concrete casting 16 during installation.
- the metal reinforcement frames 11 arranged inside the cavities 10 are embedded in this concrete casting.
- the hydrostatic thrust of the concrete during casting is withstood by the considerable rigidity of the lattice 2.
- the wedge-like shape of the ends 15a of the solid parts 15 of the alveolate interspace facilitates the escape of any air bubbles present in the concrete casting.
- the panel furthermore allows to apply, on the opposite faces, a layer of structural mortar or roughcast 17 having appropriate strength characteristics.
- the metal nets 4 and 5 are embedded in said layer 17, also by virtue of the grooves 7 formed on the opposite faces of the insulating layer 3. This obviously produces a more stable anchoring of the metal nets 4 and 5 and helps to increase the strength of the walls which are built.
- the vertical load-bearing element is therefore constituted by an alveolate partition made of reinforced concrete, covered by a layer of thermally and acoustically insulating material, suitable to receive a layer of mortar or plaster which will bind to the metal nets 4 and 5.
- the thickness of the reinforced-concrete partition can be changed according to static requirements by varying the size of the cavities 10 and of the openings 14.
- This load-bearing element can be particularly suitable for the construction of buildings with earthquake-proof requirements.
- the reinforced-concrete alveolate partition is therefore continuous along the entire wall, in order to provide greater strength.
- the insulating layer is formed by two symmetrical portions 3a and 3b which are mutually joined along a joining plane which coincides with the median vertical plane of the panel.
- the first portion 3a has, proximate to its lateral margins, respective vertical ridges 18a having a dovetail cross-section, whereas the second portion 3b has a similar ridge 18b along its median axis; the ridges 18a and 18b are meant to fit in corresponding slots formed in the adjacent portion of the insulating layer.
- the two portions 3a and 3b reconstitute the previously described shape of the insulating layer 3.
- the described panel ultimately allows to easily build load-bearing walls which have high thermal and acoustic insulation characteristics, are easy to install and can be adapted to the different construction requirements.
- the dimensions of the panel, and particularly its height, may be changed freely according to the constructive requirements.
- the panels may be built horizontally with a same machine and be cut to size according to the required height.
- the panel can also be used as a curtain-walling element or as an internal dividing element, for example to complete a building built with conventional methods.
- the materials employed, as well as the shape and the dimensions, may be any according to the requirements.
