Definitions

  • the present application also relates to a method for assembling a gutter system in a floor of a building.
  • a “support profile” is understood to mean a component that is inserted into a respective floor.
  • the support profile in particular can be formed from aluminum or steel, typically has at least one upstanding leg which laterally delimits the respective floor from the interior space. This means that the floor, for example a screed, is supported against said leg of the support profile or the support profile by means of its upright leg prevents the floor from entering the channel space, for example when it is being introduced.
  • the support profiles thus limit the interior space on its two lateral flanks towards the floor.
  • Such support profiles can in particular be L-shaped.
  • a “U-shaped channel body” is understood to mean a channel body which has at least essentially the shape of a Us. This means that the channel body formed in this way has at least two opposing upright legs and a base lying below. The upright legs do not necessarily have to be oriented vertically, but can also only be inclined with respect to the vertical.
  • the U-shape is important insofar as the upright legs of the channel body shaped in this way are suitable for laterally enclosing water guided on the base of the channel body.
  • the channel body is suitable for collecting a liquid, in particular water, and diverting it along its longitudinal axis.
  • the channel body is advantageously designed symmetrically with respect to a vertical center plane.
  • a thickness of the wall or walls of a channel body is typically approximately 3 mm to 10 mm, wherein the channel body can be formed, for example, from an elastomer, preferably a thermoplastic elastomer or thermoelast, or a thermoplastic.
  • the channel body is formed from a plastic that has entropy-elastic properties or is more entropy-elastic.
  • a “drain” is understood to mean a fluidic guide element, by means of which water collected in the channel body can be diverted from the channel body.
  • a horizontal run or any one inclined to the horizontal is also conceivable, which has at least a gradient of at least 0.5%, preferably at least 1.0%, more preferably of at least 1.5%, around a provide a sufficient gradient for the water to be drained off.
  • the construction of such a drain is fundamentally independent of the other configuration of a channel system according to the invention.
  • a flow connection of a drain to a respective channel body can be formed, for example, by penetrating the channel body, for example from below or from the side.
  • the "flanges" described above form, so to speak, an extension of the U-shape in that they adjoin the upper ends of the otherwise U-shaped channel body.
  • the flanges typically extend outwardly in an at least substantially horizontal direction.
  • a “pressure profile” is basically understood to mean any profile that is suitable for bringing about the described “pressure” of the flange against the surface of the upper end face of the respective associated support profile. It is not absolutely necessary here for the flange of the channel body to be pressed directly onto the associated support profile. It is only essential that the pressure profile exerts a compressive force which is passed through the flange into the surface of the upper end face of the support profile. Ideally, the pressing force of the pressing profile can be anchored in the support profile. For example, it is conceivable that the pressure profile is screwed into the respective support profile by means of a screw connection.
  • Channel systems of the type described at the beginning are already known in the prior art. They are used to collect and drain liquids, for example to a drain.
  • a corresponding gutter system is typically connected to a slope in the adjacent floor, the gutter system running along a deepest point of the floor.
  • a gutter system for draining water is shown.
  • This gutter system comprises a gutter body that rests laterally on support profiles.
  • the channel body is pressed from its upper side onto the support profiles on both sides by means of pressure profiles.
  • the channel system comprises sealing elements that interact with the channel body and indirectly with the support profiles.
  • the EP 2 508 685 A1 describes a gutter system.
  • the gutter system comprises a gutter body with two oppositely oriented flanges, plates arranged thereon, which in turn form inwardly directed flanges, a flexible layer and pressure profiles.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a gutter system that is more maintenance-friendly compared to the prior art.
  • the underlying object is achieved according to the invention by at least two elongated sealing elements which extend parallel to the support profiles and are each assigned to one of the support profiles.
  • the support profiles each interact with one of the sealing elements, the sealing elements typically being designed in the form of strips.
  • a respective sealing element is in sealing contact with the surface of the upper end face of the associated support profile.
  • the sealing element rests directly on the surface of the support profile, so that a passage of a liquid between the surface of the upper end face and an underside of the sealing element is prevented.
  • the sealing elements are each guided to a side of the support profile facing away from the channel body.
  • the "left sealing element” is led to a left side of the associated left support profile away from the gutter space, while the “right sealing element” correspondingly to the right side of the associated right support profile away from the gutter space is led.
  • a sealing membrane for example, can be brought up to the gutter system on both sides of the gutter system, so that it can interact with the "free ends" of the sealing elements, which are formed on the sides of the gutter system facing away from the gutter body and in this way enable a tight connection of the soil to the gutter system.
  • the gutter system according to the invention has many advantages.
  • the most important advantage is that a force-transmitting connection between the respective sealing system of the building and the gutter system only takes place with components of the gutter system which are to a certain extent arranged outside the gutter space of the gutter system.
  • the tight connection of the sealing system to the gutter system is ensured by means of the sealing elements according to the invention, which, however, are in particular independent of the gutter body. This creates the possibility of removing the channel body from the channel system without loosening or damaging the tight connection of the channel system to the respective sealing system of the building.
  • the channel body can be removed from the channel system, a repaired or new channel body inserted and the latter can finally be reinstalled on the channel system by means of at least one pressure profile.
  • An intervention, in particular a destructive intervention, with the soil in which the gutter system is installed is not necessary at any time, since the gutter system has created a decoupling of the gutter body from the soil or its sealing system by means of the sealing elements according to the invention.
  • the gutter system according to the invention is significantly more maintenance-friendly than that of the prior art.
  • an end of a respective sealing element facing away from the channel body is guided along the latter in a downward direction, starting from the upper end face of the associated support profile.
  • downward means the direction which is averted from a surface of the floor.
  • the sealing element is advantageously guided downwards along at least 20% of a height of the associated support profile, more preferably at least over 50% of the height of the support profile.
  • the channel system formed in this way is particularly easy to connect to a sealing system of the respective building, since the sealing elements are led away from the upper face of the support profiles into an area away from the channel space, in which they can ultimately interact particularly easily with a respective sealing system.
  • the sealing elements are guided up to a lower, horizontal leg of the support profiles and there on one Surface of the leg can be welded, for example, to a sealing membrane of a sealing system.
  • sealing elements are formed from plastic, preferably from a plastic film. Sealing elements of this type can create a sealing connection, especially by pressing onto the surface of the upper end face of the respective associated support profile, and are at the same time flexible, so that connection to a sealing system of the building is particularly easy. Furthermore, such sealing elements can be designed to be particularly elongated in that they can be assembled from a plurality of segments, for example by means of welding.
  • such a channel system can be advantageous in which the channel body comprises an end wall on each of its end sides, the end walls being suitable for blocking an end-side exit of water collected in the channel body.
  • Such end walls act - roughly comparable to a gutter - as separating elements in order to keep the water collected in the gutter body in the same.
  • the same comprises at least two elongated pressure profiles which are each assigned to one of the support profiles.
  • the pressure profiles extend parallel to the support profiles, an associated flange of the channel body and / or an associated sealing element preferably being pressed at least indirectly onto the corresponding surface of the upper end face of the associated support profile by means of a pressure profile.
  • a pressure profile can be formed, for example, from flat steel which - starting from the surface of the upper end face of a support profile viewed upwards - is placed above the respective flange of the channel body and the associated sealing element on the latter and is finally mounted in such a way that the pressure profile introducing a compressive force into the support profile through the flange and / or the sealing element.
  • gutter grates are also referred to as "gutter grates”.
  • a gutter cover of this type is used to bridge the inner space in such a way that vertical loads that act in the region of the inner space are directed towards the sides to remove the inner space.
  • a channel system must be designed to be traversable by vehicles.
  • a channel cover is advantageously designed such that its width exceeds a width of the channel space, so that the channel cover on both sides of the channel space rests at least indirectly on the support profiles, in particular the upper end faces of the support profiles. In this way, forces acting on the gutter cover can be transmitted directly to the support profiles and finally into the ground without the channel body as such being subjected to additional loads. Apart from its own weight and any water that is collected and discharged by means of the channel body, the channel body is consequently free of forces in such a configuration.
  • the gutter cover advantageously interacts with the upper end faces of the support profiles, pressure forces being exerted on the flanges and / or the sealing elements by means of the gutter cover in order to produce the sealing engagement with the upper end face of the support profiles.
  • a channel system according to the invention which is designed with a channel cover, is particularly advantageous if the channel cover interacts with at least one pressure profile, the pressure profile and the channel cover advantageously connected to a respective associated support profile by means of different connecting means are.
  • the connecting means can in particular be formed by screws which are screwed into the respective support profile.
  • This embodiment has the particular advantage that the channel cover can in principle be released from the associated support profile independently of the respective pressure profile. This in turn has the significant advantage that the sealing contact between the flange of the channel body and / or the sealing element that is assigned to the respective support profile does not have to be broken when the channel cover is dismantled.
  • the dismantling of the channel cover is not accompanied by a dissolution of the compressive force between the upper end face of the support profile and the flange or the sealing element, since this compressive force continues to be provided by means of the pressure profile.
  • the channel cover can be exchanged or temporarily dismantled, for example for repair purposes, without further ado and in particular without adversely affecting the channel system.
  • a channel system designed in this way is consequently particularly easy to maintain.
  • a respective flange of the gutter body and the associated support profile are sealed against one another by means of a tongue and groove system.
  • the flange preferably has an elongated spring strip which engages in a complementary elongated groove in the support profile.
  • Such a spring strip can preferably have a width in a retaining section which exceeds the width of the elongated groove of the support profile, so that the spring strip is at least partially compressed in the course of the introduction of the spring strip into the elongated groove.
  • both a respective flange and a respective sealing element have spring strips which each move into a long groove on the upper end face of the associated support profile.
  • the support profiles have two elongated grooves arranged next to one another on their upper end face.

  • plastics can be connected to one another with a material fit comparatively easily, in the case of a thermoplastic by means of welding and in the case of an elastomeric plastic by means of vulcanization.
  • a thermoplastic elastomer or a thermal load is also conceivable.
  • the design of the channel body made of plastic is particularly easy in the channel system according to the invention, in particular, if the channel body remains free of payloads that act on the channel system. This can be done particularly easily by means of the above-described configuration of the gutter system with a gutter cover, the width of which exceeds a width of the inner space, so that on Payloads acting on the channel cover are carried directly to the sides of the channel system and have no effect on the channel body.
  • the channel body is only loaded with its own weight and any water that is collected and discharged by means of the channel body.

  • a distance between said sealing plane and the surface of the floor is preferably a maximum of 3 cm, more preferably a maximum of 2 cm.
  • the small distance between the sealing plane and the surface of the floor can be constructed in a particularly simple manner in that the support profiles are guided close to the surface of the floor with at least one upright leg, so that the upper end face of a respective support profile is at a small distance from the Surface of the floor is located. Since the flanges and the sealing elements interact with the upper end face of the support profiles, it is understood that consequently the sealing plane is also arranged correspondingly close to the surface of the floor.
  • the gutter system can be equipped with two elongated side profiles which are each assigned to one of the support profiles. These side profiles are characterized in that they close the channel system laterally against the adjacent floor, so that the floor is completely decoupled from the channel cover in particular.

  • the method designed in this way has the particular advantage that the channel body cannot be manufactured on site on the construction site on which the channel system is to be installed, but rather at an external manufacturing facility.
  • the inventive design of the channel body made of plastic offers the essential advantage that the channel body is elastically deformable overall, so that those channel bodies can also be transported whose length significantly exceeds the length of a loading area of a transport vehicle. It goes without saying that most gutter systems have a length that is the length of a loading area of a transport vehicle exceed.
  • an elastic plastic is used as the material for the channel body segments and thus the entire channel body, it is now possible according to the invention to elastically deform the channel body, in particular to roll it up or wind it up, to fold it, to bend it or the like in order to shorten an effective length of the channel body overall that it can be transported on a transport vehicle.
  • this elastic deformation of the channel body only has to be reversed, for example the channel body must be unwound.

It has the particular advantage that it can be implemented both in the gutter system and in the soil surrounding the gutter system without any destructive interference. An exchange of the channel body and, if necessary, a channel cover is easily possible since the channel body is decoupled from the floor. As explained above, this is ensured by the action of the sealing elements according to the invention, which ensure a tight connection of the gutter system to a sealing system of the associated structure independently of the channel body.

Ideally, the sealing elements 12 are already manufactured to a desired length away from an assembly site of the channel system 1 , so that only the sealing elements 12 have to be brought into engagement with the support profiles 2 at the assembly site.

The present application relates to a gutter system, which is inserted into a floor of a building, for holding, collecting and / or draining off a liquid, comprising the gutter system
  • at least two opposite elongated support profiles which together delimit an interior space between them and each laterally delimit at least part of the floor from the interior space,
  • at least one U-shaped channel body which extends between the support profiles so that it bridges the interior space, a longitudinal axis of the channel body being oriented parallel to the longitudinal axes of the support profiles, and
  • at least one drain fluidly connected to the channel body, by means of which water collected in the channel body can be drained from the channel body,
  • wherein the channel body has two flanges which each extend from one of the two upper ends of the remaining channel body and are each assigned to one of the support profiles, the flanges being pressed against a corresponding surface of an upper end face of the respective support profile by means of at least one pressure profile that a respective flange and the respective associated support profile are at least indirectly in sealing contact with one another and
  • the gutter system being provided with a gutter cover, the gutter cover bridging the gutter space in such a way that vertical loads that act in a region of the gutter space can be transferred to the sides of the gutter space.

Weiterhin betrifft die vorliegende Anmeldung ein Verfahren zur Montage eines Rinnensystems in einem Boden eines Bauwerks.The present application also relates to a method for assembling a gutter system in a floor of a building.

Unter einem "Stützprofil" wird im Sinne der vorliegenden Anmeldung ein Bauteil verstanden, das in einem jeweiligen Boden eingesetzt ist. Das Stützprofil, das insbesondere von Aluminium oder Stahl gebildet sein kann, weist dabei typischerweise mindestens einen hochstehenden Schenkel auf, der den jeweiligen Boden seitlich gegen den Rinnenraum abgrenzt. Das heißt, dass sich der Boden, beispielsweise ein Estrich, gegen besagten Schenkel des Stützprofils stützt bzw. das Stützprofil mittels seines aufstehenden Schenkels verhindert, dass der Boden, beispielsweise im Zuge der Einbringung desselben, in den Rinnenraum eintritt. Die Stützprofile begrenzen damit den Rinnenraum zu seinen beiden seitlichen Flanken hin gegen den Boden. Derartige Stützprofile können insbesondere L-förmig ausgebildet sein.In the context of the present application, a “support profile” is understood to mean a component that is inserted into a respective floor. The support profile, in particular can be formed from aluminum or steel, typically has at least one upstanding leg which laterally delimits the respective floor from the interior space. This means that the floor, for example a screed, is supported against said leg of the support profile or the support profile by means of its upright leg prevents the floor from entering the channel space, for example when it is being introduced. The support profiles thus limit the interior space on its two lateral flanks towards the floor. Such support profiles can in particular be L-shaped.

Unter einem "U-förmigen Rinnenkörper" wird im Sinne der vorliegenden Anmeldung ein Rinnenkörper verstanden, der zumindest im Wesentlichen die Form eines Us aufweist. Das heißt, dass der so ausgebildete Rinnenkörper mindestens zwei sich gegenüberliegende aufrechte Schenkel sowie eine unten liegende Basis aufweist. Die aufrechten Schenkel müssen nicht zwangsläufig vertikal orientiert sein, sondern können auch lediglich gegenüber der Vertikalen geneigt sein. Die U-Form ist dabei insofern von Bedeutung, als die aufrechten Schenkel des derart geformten Rinnenkörpers dazu geeignet sind, auf der Basis des Rinnenkörpers geführtes Wasser seitlich einzufassen. Hierdurch ist der Rinnenkörper dazu geeignet, eine Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Wasser, zu sammeln und entlang seiner Längsachse abzuleiten. Vorteilhafterweise ist der Rinnenkörper symmetrisch bezüglich einer vertikalen Mittelebene ausgebildet. Eine Dicke der Wandung bzw. Wandungen eines Rinnenkörpers beträgt typischerweise ca. 3 mm bis 10 mm, wobei der Rinnenkörper beispielsweise von einem Elastomer, vorzugsweise einem thermoplastischen Elastomer bzw. Thermoelast, oder einem Thermoplast gebildet sein kann. Grundsätzlich kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn der Rinnenkörper von einem Kunststoff gebildet ist, der entropieelastische Eigenschaften aufweist bzw. über entropieelastisch ist.In the context of the present application, a “U-shaped channel body” is understood to mean a channel body which has at least essentially the shape of a Us. This means that the channel body formed in this way has at least two opposing upright legs and a base lying below. The upright legs do not necessarily have to be oriented vertically, but can also only be inclined with respect to the vertical. The U-shape is important insofar as the upright legs of the channel body shaped in this way are suitable for laterally enclosing water guided on the base of the channel body. As a result, the channel body is suitable for collecting a liquid, in particular water, and diverting it along its longitudinal axis. The channel body is advantageously designed symmetrically with respect to a vertical center plane. A thickness of the wall or walls of a channel body is typically approximately 3 mm to 10 mm, wherein the channel body can be formed, for example, from an elastomer, preferably a thermoplastic elastomer or thermoelast, or a thermoplastic. In principle, it can be advantageous if the channel body is formed from a plastic that has entropy-elastic properties or is more entropy-elastic.

Unter einem "Ablauf" wird im Sinne der vorliegenden Anmeldung ein strömungstechnisches Leitelement verstanden, mittels dessen in dem Rinnenkörper gesammeltes Wasser aus dem Rinnenkörper ableitbar ist. Alternativ zu einem vertikalen Ablauf ist ebenso ein horizontaler oder ein beliebig gegen die Horizontale geneigter Ablauf denkbar, der zumindest ein Gefälle von mindestens 0,5 %, vorzugsweise mindestens 1,0 %, weiter vorzugsweise von mindestens 1,5 %, aufweist, um ein ausreichendes Gefälle für abzuleitendes Wasser bereitzustellen. Die Konstruktion eines solchen Ablaufs ist grundsätzlich unabhängig von der sonstigen Ausgestaltung eines erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystems. Ein strömungstechnischer Anschluss eines Ablaufs an einen jeweiligen Rinnenkörper kann beispielsweise mittels Durchdringung des Rinnenkörpers ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise von unten oder von der Seite.In the context of the present application, a “drain” is understood to mean a fluidic guide element, by means of which water collected in the channel body can be diverted from the channel body. As an alternative to a vertical run, a horizontal run or any one inclined to the horizontal is also conceivable, which has at least a gradient of at least 0.5%, preferably at least 1.0%, more preferably of at least 1.5%, around a provide a sufficient gradient for the water to be drained off. The construction of such a drain is fundamentally independent of the other configuration of a channel system according to the invention. A flow connection of a drain to a respective channel body can be formed, for example, by penetrating the channel body, for example from below or from the side.

Die vorstehend beschriebenen "Flansche" bilden gewissermaßen eine Erweiterung der U-Form, indem sie sich an die oberen Enden des im Übrigen U-förmigen Rinnenkörpers anschließen. Die Flansche erstrecken sich typischerweise in eine zumindest im Wesentlichen horizontale Richtung nach außen.The "flanges" described above form, so to speak, an extension of the U-shape in that they adjoin the upper ends of the otherwise U-shaped channel body. The flanges typically extend outwardly in an at least substantially horizontal direction.

Unter einem "Andrückprofil" wird grundsätzlich jedes Profil verstanden, das dazu geeignet ist, die beschriebene "Andrückung" des Flansches gegen die Oberfläche der oberen Stirnseite des jeweils zugehörigen Stützprofils zu bewirken. Hierbei ist es nicht zwingend erforderlich, dass der Flansch des Rinnenkörpers unmittelbar auf das zugehörige Stützprofil gedrückt wird. Wesentlich ist lediglich, dass das Andrückprofil eine Druckkraft ausübt, die durch den Flansch hindurch in die Oberfläche der oberen Stirnfläche des Stützprofils geleitet wird. Idealerweise kann die Andrückkraft des Andrückprofils in dem Stützprofil verankert sein. Beispielsweise ist es denkbar, dass das Andrückprofil mittels einer Schraubverbindung in das jeweilige Stützprofil eingeschraubt ist.A “pressure profile” is basically understood to mean any profile that is suitable for bringing about the described “pressure” of the flange against the surface of the upper end face of the respective associated support profile. It is not absolutely necessary here for the flange of the channel body to be pressed directly onto the associated support profile. It is only essential that the pressure profile exerts a compressive force which is passed through the flange into the surface of the upper end face of the support profile. Ideally, the pressing force of the pressing profile can be anchored in the support profile. For example, it is conceivable that the pressure profile is screwed into the respective support profile by means of a screw connection.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Rinnensysteme der eingangs beschriebenen Art sind im Stand der Technik bereits bekannt. Sie dienen dazu, Flüssigkeiten zu sammeln und abzuleiten, beispielsweise zu einem Abfluss. Hierzu ist ein entsprechendes Rinnensystem typischerweise an ein Gefälle des angrenzenden Bodens angeschlossen, wobei das Rinnensystem entlang einer tiefsten Stelle des Bodens verläuft.Channel systems of the type described at the beginning are already known in the prior art. They are used to collect and drain liquids, for example to a drain. For this purpose, a corresponding gutter system is typically connected to a slope in the adjacent floor, the gutter system running along a deepest point of the floor.

Um die Ableitung insbesondere von Wasser zuverlässig vornehmen zu können, ist es in aller Regel erforderlich, ein jeweiliges Rinnensystem an ein Dichtungssystem des jeweiligen Bauwerks, in dessen Boden das Rinnensystem eingebaut ist, anzuschließen. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, dass abgeführtes Wasser nicht an unbeabsichtigter Stelle in das jeweilige Bauwerk eindringt, sondern vollständig zu dem Rinnensystem und schließlich mittels des Rinnensystems abgeführt wird. Um ein jeweiliges Rinnensystem an ein Dichtungssystem des jeweiligen Bauwerks anzuschließen, ist das Rinnensystem typischerweise in den Boden eingelassen, wobei beispielsweise Dichtungsbahnen des Dichtungssystems unmittelbar bis an das Rinnensystem herangeführt und mit diesem verbunden sind. Diese Art der Konstruktion hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass ein Austausch einzelner Teile des Rinnensystems, beispielsweise des Rinnenkörpers, kaum möglich ist, ohne zumindest Teile des Bodens zu entfernen und abzutragen. Es versteht sich, dass im Anschluss daran auch für einen Wiedereinbau eines Ersatzteils teils erhebliche Arbeiten notwendig sind, um das Rinnensystem wieder in einen funktionsfähigen Zustand zu versetzen.In order to be able to reliably discharge water, in particular, it is generally necessary to connect a respective gutter system to a sealing system of the respective structure in whose floor the gutter system is installed. In this way it is ensured that drained water does not penetrate unintentionally into the respective building, but is drained completely to the gutter system and finally by means of the gutter system. In order to connect a respective gutter system to a sealing system of the respective building, the gutter system is typically embedded in the ground, with sealing sheets of the sealing system, for example, being brought directly up to the gutter system and connected to it. However, this type of construction has the disadvantage that it is hardly possible to replace individual parts of the gutter system, for example the gutter body, without removing and removing at least parts of the soil. It goes without saying that then, in some cases, considerable work is necessary for reinstalling a replacement part in order to restore the channel system to a functional state.

In der EP 1 914 355 A1 wird ein Rinnensystem zur Ableitung von Wasser dargestellt. Dieses Rinnensystem umfasst einen Rinnenkörper, der seitlich auf Stützprofilen aufliegt. Der Rinnenkörper ist von seiner Oberseite her auf beiden Seiten mittels Andrückprofilen auf die Stützprofile gedrückt. Weiterhin umfasst das Rinnensystem Dichtungselemente, die mit dem Rinnenkörper sowie mittelbar mit den Stützprofilen zusammenwirken.In the EP 1 914 355 A1 a gutter system for draining water is shown. This gutter system comprises a gutter body that rests laterally on support profiles. The channel body is pressed from its upper side onto the support profiles on both sides by means of pressure profiles. Furthermore, the channel system comprises sealing elements that interact with the channel body and indirectly with the support profiles.

Die EP 2 508 685 A1 beschreibt ein Rinnensystem. Das Rinnensystem umfasst einen Rinnenkörper mit zwei sich gegenüberliegend orientierten Flanschen, darauf angeordneten Platten, die wiederum nach innen ausgerichtete Flansche bilden, eine flexible Schicht und Andrückprofile.the EP 2 508 685 A1 describes a gutter system. The gutter system comprises a gutter body with two oppositely oriented flanges, plates arranged thereon, which in turn form inwardly directed flanges, a flexible layer and pressure profiles.

Aufgabetask

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt mithin die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Rinnensystem bereitzustellen, dass im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik wartungsfreundlicher ist.The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a gutter system that is more maintenance-friendly compared to the prior art.

Lösungsolution

Die zugrunde liegende Aufgabe wird ausgehend von dem Rinnensystem der eingangs beschriebenen Art erfindungsgemäß durch mindestens zwei lang gestreckte Dichtungselemente gelöst, die sich parallel zu den Stützprofilen erstrecken und jeweils einem der Stützprofile zugeordnet sind. Das heißt, dass die Stützprofile jeweils mit einem der Dichtungselemente zusammenwirken, wobei die Dichtungselemente typischerweise streifenförmig ausgebildet sind. Ein jeweiliges Dichtungselement steht mit der Oberfläche der oberen Stirnseite des zugehörigen Stützprofils in dichtendem Kontakt. Dazu liegt das Dichtungselement unmittelbar auf der Oberfläche des Stützprofils auf, sodass ein Durchgang einer Flüssigkeit zwischen der Oberfläche der oberen Stirnseite und einer Unterseite des Dichtungselements unterbunden ist.Based on the channel system of the type described at the outset, the underlying object is achieved according to the invention by at least two elongated sealing elements which extend parallel to the support profiles and are each assigned to one of the support profiles. This means that the support profiles each interact with one of the sealing elements, the sealing elements typically being designed in the form of strips. A respective sealing element is in sealing contact with the surface of the upper end face of the associated support profile. For this purpose, the sealing element rests directly on the surface of the support profile, so that a passage of a liquid between the surface of the upper end face and an underside of the sealing element is prevented.

Weiterhin ist von Bedeutung, dass die Dichtungselemente jeweils zu jeweils einer dem Rinnenkörper abgewandten Seite der Stützprofile geführt sind. Mit anderen Worten ist - im Querschnitt des erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystems betrachtet - das "linke Dichtungselement" zu einer linken Seite des zugehörigen linken Stützprofils weg von dem Rinnenraum geführt, während das "rechte Dichtungselement" entsprechend zu der rechten Seite des zugehörigen rechten Stützprofils weg von dem Rinnenraum geführt ist. Diese Führung der Dichtungselemente in von dem Rinnenraum abgewandte Richtungen ermöglicht es erfindungsgemäß, die Dichtungselemente an ein jeweiliges Dichtungssystem des Bauwerks anzuschließen. Insbesondere kann auf beiden Seiten des Rinnensystems jeweils beispielsweise eine Dichtungsbahn bis an das Rinnensystem herangeführt werden, sodass es jeweils mit den "freien Enden" der Dichtungselemente, die an den dem Rinnenkörper abgewandten Seiten des Rinnensystems an diesen ausgebildet sind, zusammenwirken kann und auf diese Weise einen dichten Anschluss des Bodens an das Rinnensystem ermöglicht.It is also important that the sealing elements are each guided to a side of the support profile facing away from the channel body. In other words - viewed in the cross-section of the gutter system according to the invention - the "left sealing element" is led to a left side of the associated left support profile away from the gutter space, while the "right sealing element" correspondingly to the right side of the associated right support profile away from the gutter space is led. This guidance of the sealing elements in directions facing away from the interior space makes it possible according to the invention to connect the sealing elements to a respective sealing system of the building. In particular, a sealing membrane, for example, can be brought up to the gutter system on both sides of the gutter system, so that it can interact with the "free ends" of the sealing elements, which are formed on the sides of the gutter system facing away from the gutter body and in this way enable a tight connection of the soil to the gutter system.

Das erfindungsgemäße Rinnensystem hat viele Vorteile. Der wesentlichste Vorteil besteht darin, dass eine kraftübertragende Verbindung zwischen dem jeweiligen Dichtungssystem des Bauwerks und dem Rinnensystem lediglich mit Bauteilen des Rinnensystems stattfindet, die gewissermaßen außerhalb des Rinnenraums des Rinnensystems angeordnet sind. Der dichte Anschluss des Dichtungssystems an das Rinnensystem wird dabei mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Dichtungselemente sichergestellt, die jedoch ihrerseits insbesondere unabhängig von dem Rinnenkörper sind. Hierdurch wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, den Rinnenkörper aus dem Rinnensystem zu entnehmen, ohne den dichten Anschluss des Rinnensystems an das jeweilige Dichtungssystem des Bauwerks aufzulösen oder zu beschädigen. Insbesondere ist es besonders einfach vorstellbar, ein jeweiliges Andrückprofil zu lösen, woraufhin der Rinnenkörper aus dem Rinnensystem entnommen, ein reparierter bzw. neuer Rinnenkörper eingesetzt und letzterer schließlich mittels mindestens eines Andrückprofils wieder an dem Rinnensystem installiert werden kann. Ein Eingriff, insbesondere ein zerstörender Eingriff, mit dem Boden, in den das Rinnensystem eingebaut ist, ist zu keiner Zeit erforderlich, da das Rinnensystem mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Dichtungselemente eine Entkopplung des Rinnenkörpers von dem Boden bzw. dessen Dichtungssystem geschaffen hat. Im Ergebnis ist somit das erfindungsgemäße Rinnensystem gegenüber denjenigen des Standes der Technik deutlich wartungsfreundlicher.The gutter system according to the invention has many advantages. The most important advantage is that a force-transmitting connection between the respective sealing system of the building and the gutter system only takes place with components of the gutter system which are to a certain extent arranged outside the gutter space of the gutter system. The tight connection of the sealing system to the gutter system is ensured by means of the sealing elements according to the invention, which, however, are in particular independent of the gutter body. This creates the possibility of removing the channel body from the channel system without loosening or damaging the tight connection of the channel system to the respective sealing system of the building. In particular, it is particularly easy to imagine releasing a respective pressure profile, whereupon the channel body can be removed from the channel system, a repaired or new channel body inserted and the latter can finally be reinstalled on the channel system by means of at least one pressure profile. An intervention, in particular a destructive intervention, with the soil in which the gutter system is installed is not necessary at any time, since the gutter system has created a decoupling of the gutter body from the soil or its sealing system by means of the sealing elements according to the invention. As a result, the gutter system according to the invention is significantly more maintenance-friendly than that of the prior art.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystems ist ein dem Rinnenkörper abgewandtes Ende eines jeweiligen Dichtungselements ausgehend von der oberen Stirnseite des zugehörigen Stützprofils entlang des letzteren in eine Richtung nach unten geführt. "Nach unten" bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang die Richtung, die einer Oberfläche des Bodens abgewandt ist. Vorteilhafterweise ist das Dichtungselement entlang mindestens 20 % einer Höhe des zugehörigen Stützprofils nach unten geführt, weiter vorzugsweise mindestens über 50 % der Höhe des Stützprofils.In an advantageous embodiment of the channel system according to the invention, an end of a respective sealing element facing away from the channel body is guided along the latter in a downward direction, starting from the upper end face of the associated support profile. In this context, “downward” means the direction which is averted from a surface of the floor. The sealing element is advantageously guided downwards along at least 20% of a height of the associated support profile, more preferably at least over 50% of the height of the support profile.

Das auf diese Weise ausbildete Rinnensystem ist besonders einfach an ein Dichtungssystem des jeweiligen Bauwerks anschließbar, da die Dichtungselemente von der oberen Stirnseite der Stützprofile weggeführt sind in einen Bereich abseits des Rinnenraums, in dem sie schließlich besonders einfach mit einem jeweiligen Dichtungssystem zusammenwirken können. Insbesondere ist es vorstellbar, dass die Dichtungselemente bis auf einen unteren, horizontalen Schenkel der Stützprofile geführt sind und dort auf einer Oberfläche des Schenkels beispielsweise mit einer Dichtungsbahn eines Dichtungssystems verschweißt werden können.The channel system formed in this way is particularly easy to connect to a sealing system of the respective building, since the sealing elements are led away from the upper face of the support profiles into an area away from the channel space, in which they can ultimately interact particularly easily with a respective sealing system. In particular, it is conceivable that the sealing elements are guided up to a lower, horizontal leg of the support profiles and there on one Surface of the leg can be welded, for example, to a sealing membrane of a sealing system.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Dichtungselemente sind selbige von Kunststoff gebildet, vorzugsweise von einer Kunststofffolie. Derartige Dichtungselemente können besonders durch Andrückung auf die Oberfläche der oberen Stirnseite des jeweils zugehörigen Stützprofils einen dichtenden Anschluss schaffen und sind gleichzeitig flexibel, sodass ein Anschluss an ein Dichtsystem des Bauwerks besonders einfach fällt. Ferner können derartige Dichtungselemente besonders gut langgestreckt ausgeführt werden, indem sie von einer Mehrzahl von Segmenten zusammengesetzt werden können, beispielsweise mittels Schweißen.In an advantageous embodiment of the sealing elements, they are formed from plastic, preferably from a plastic film. Sealing elements of this type can create a sealing connection, especially by pressing onto the surface of the upper end face of the respective associated support profile, and are at the same time flexible, so that connection to a sealing system of the building is particularly easy. Furthermore, such sealing elements can be designed to be particularly elongated in that they can be assembled from a plurality of segments, for example by means of welding.

Weiterhin kann ein solches Rinnensystem von Vorteil sein, bei dem der Rinnenkörper an seinen Endseiten jeweils eine Stirnwand umfasst, wobei die Stirnwände dazu geeignet sind, eine endseitigen Austritt von in dem Rinnenkörper gesammeltem Wasser zu blockieren. Derartige Stirnwände wirken - in etwa vergleichbar zu einer Dachrinne - als Trennelemente, um das in dem Rinnenkörper gesammelte Wasser in selbigem zu halten.Furthermore, such a channel system can be advantageous in which the channel body comprises an end wall on each of its end sides, the end walls being suitable for blocking an end-side exit of water collected in the channel body. Such end walls act - roughly comparable to a gutter - as separating elements in order to keep the water collected in the gutter body in the same.

In einer weiterhin vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystems umfasst selbiges mindestens zwei langgestreckte Andrückprofile die jeweils einem der Stützprofile zugeordnet sind. Die Andrückprofile erstrecken sich parallel zu den Stützprofilen, wobei vorzugsweise mittels jeweils eines Andrückprofils ein zugehöriger Flansch des Rinnenkörpers und/oder ein zugehöriges Dichtungselement zumindest mittelbar auf die korrespondierende Oberfläche der oberen Stirnseite des zugehörigen Stützprofils gedrückt sind. Ein derartiges Andrückprofil kann beispielsweise von einem Flachstahl gebildet sein, der - ausgehend von der Oberfläche der oberen Stirnseite eine Stützprofils aus nach oben betrachtet - oberhalb des jeweiligen Flansches des Rinnenkörpers sowie des zugehörigen Dichtungselements auf letztere aufgelegt wird und schließlich derart montiert wird, dass das Andrückprofil durch den Flansch und/oder das Dichtungselement hindurch eine Druckkraft in das Stützprofil einleitet. Insbesondere ist es vorstellbar, dass ein derartiges Andrückprofil mittels Schrauben in dem zugehörigen Stützprofil verankert ist. Der Flansch bzw. das Dichtungselement werden mittels der Druckkraft gewissermaßen gepresst, wodurch ein dichtender Eingriff mit der Stirnseite des Stützprofils sichergestellt ist.In a further advantageous embodiment of the channel system according to the invention, the same comprises at least two elongated pressure profiles which are each assigned to one of the support profiles. The pressure profiles extend parallel to the support profiles, an associated flange of the channel body and / or an associated sealing element preferably being pressed at least indirectly onto the corresponding surface of the upper end face of the associated support profile by means of a pressure profile. Such a pressure profile can be formed, for example, from flat steel which - starting from the surface of the upper end face of a support profile viewed upwards - is placed above the respective flange of the channel body and the associated sealing element on the latter and is finally mounted in such a way that the pressure profile introducing a compressive force into the support profile through the flange and / or the sealing element. In particular, it is conceivable that such a pressure profile is anchored in the associated support profile by means of screws. The flange or the sealing element are to a certain extent pressed by means of the compressive force, as a result of which a sealing engagement with the end face of the support profile is ensured.

Das erfindungsgemäße Rinnensystem ist mit Rinnenabdeckungen versehen, derartige Abdeckungen werden auch als "Rinnenrost" bezeichnet. Eine derartige Rinnenabdeckung dient dazu, den Rinnenraum derart zu überbrücken, dass vertikalen Lasten, die im Bereich des Rinnenraums wirken, zu den Seiten des Rinnenraums hin abzutragen. Insbesondere ist es denkbar, dass ein Rinnensystem mit Fahrzeugen überfahrbar ausgebildet sein muss. Vorteilhafterweise ist eine Rinnenabdeckung derart ausgestaltet, dass deren Breite eine Breite des Rinnenraums übersteigt, sodass die Rinnenabdeckung beiderseits des Rinnenraums zumindest mittelbar auf den Stützprofilen, insbesondere den oberen Stirnseiten der Stützprofile, aufliegt. Auf diese Weise können auf die Rinnenabdeckung einwirkende Kräfte unmittelbar auf die Stützprofile und schließlich in den Boden übertragen werden, ohne dass der Rinnenkörper als solcher mit zusätzlichen Lasten beaufschlagt wird. Abgesehen von seinem Eigengewicht sowie etwaigem Wasser, das mittels des Rinnenkörpers gesammelt und abgeführt wird, ist der Rinnenkörper bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung folglich frei von Kräften.The gutter system according to the invention is provided with gutter covers, such covers are also referred to as "gutter grates". A gutter cover of this type is used to bridge the inner space in such a way that vertical loads that act in the region of the inner space are directed towards the sides to remove the inner space. In particular, it is conceivable that a channel system must be designed to be traversable by vehicles. A channel cover is advantageously designed such that its width exceeds a width of the channel space, so that the channel cover on both sides of the channel space rests at least indirectly on the support profiles, in particular the upper end faces of the support profiles. In this way, forces acting on the gutter cover can be transmitted directly to the support profiles and finally into the ground without the channel body as such being subjected to additional loads. Apart from its own weight and any water that is collected and discharged by means of the channel body, the channel body is consequently free of forces in such a configuration.

Grundsätzlich ist es vorstellbar, eine Rinnenabdeckung als Andrückprofil im Sinne der vorliegenden Anmeldung zu verwenden. Bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung wirkt die Rinnenabdeckung vorteilhafterweise mit den oberen Stirnseiten der Stützprofile zusammen, wobei mittels der Rinnenabdeckung Druckkräfte auf die Flansche und/oder die Dichtungselemente ausgeübt werden, um den dichtenden Eingriff mit der oberen Stirnseite der Stützprofile herzustellen.In principle, it is conceivable to use a channel cover as a pressure profile in the sense of the present application. In such a configuration, the gutter cover advantageously interacts with the upper end faces of the support profiles, pressure forces being exerted on the flanges and / or the sealing elements by means of the gutter cover in order to produce the sealing engagement with the upper end face of the support profiles.

Unabhängig von der Art der Ausgestaltung der Rinnenabdeckung ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Rinnensystem, das mit einer Rinnenabdeckung ausgestaltet ist, dann besonders von Vorteil, wenn die Rinnenabdeckung mit mindestens einem Andrückprofil zusammenwirkt, wobei das Andrückprofil und die Rinnenabdeckung vorteilhafterweise mittels verschiedener Verbindungsmittel mit einem jeweilig zugehörigen Stützprofil verbunden sind. Die Verbindungsmittel können insbesondere von Schrauben gebildet sein, die in das jeweilige Stützprofil eingeschraubt werden. Diese Ausgestaltung hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass die Rinnenabdeckung grundsätzlich unabhängig von dem jeweiligen Andrückprofil von dem zugehörigen Stützprofil gelöst werden kann. Dies hat wiederum den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass der dichtende Kontakt zwischen den Flansch des Rinnenkörpers und/oder dem Dichtungselement, das dem jeweiligen Stützprofil zugeordnet ist, nicht aufgehoben werden muss, wenn die Rinnenabdeckung demontiert wird. Die Demontage der Rinnenabdeckung geht nämlich nicht mit einer Auflösung der Druckkraft zwischen der oberen Stirnseite des Stützprofils und dem Flansch bzw. dem Dichtungselement einher, da diese Druckkraft mittels des Andrückprofils weiterhin bereitgestellt wird. Auf diese Weise ist beispielsweise ein Austausch der Rinnenabdeckung oder deren zeitweise Demontage beispielsweise zu Reparaturzwecken ohne Weiteres und insbesondere ohne Beeinträchtigung des Rinnensystems im Übrigen möglich. Ein auf diese Weise ausgebildetes Rinnensystem ist folglich besonders wartungsfreundlich.Regardless of the type of design of the channel cover, a channel system according to the invention, which is designed with a channel cover, is particularly advantageous if the channel cover interacts with at least one pressure profile, the pressure profile and the channel cover advantageously connected to a respective associated support profile by means of different connecting means are. The connecting means can in particular be formed by screws which are screwed into the respective support profile. This embodiment has the particular advantage that the channel cover can in principle be released from the associated support profile independently of the respective pressure profile. This in turn has the significant advantage that the sealing contact between the flange of the channel body and / or the sealing element that is assigned to the respective support profile does not have to be broken when the channel cover is dismantled. The dismantling of the channel cover is not accompanied by a dissolution of the compressive force between the upper end face of the support profile and the flange or the sealing element, since this compressive force continues to be provided by means of the pressure profile. In this way, for example, the channel cover can be exchanged or temporarily dismantled, for example for repair purposes, without further ado and in particular without adversely affecting the channel system. A channel system designed in this way is consequently particularly easy to maintain.

Das erfindungsgemäße Rinnensystem weiter ausgestaltend sind ein jeweiliger Flansch des Rinnenkörpers und das zugehörige Stützprofil mittels eines Nut-Feder-Systems gegeneinander abgedichtet. Vorzugsweise weist der Flansch einen langgestreckten Federstreifen auf, der in eine komplementäre Langnut des Stützprofils eingreift. Vorzugsweise kann ein solcher Federstreifen in einem Rückhalteabschnitt eine Breite aufweisen, die die Breite der Langnut des Stützprofils übersteigt, sodass im Zuge der Einführung des Federstreifens in die Langnut der Federstreifen zumindest teilweise komprimiert wird. Hierdurch wird sowohl der dichtende Kontakt zwischen dem Federstreifen und der Langnut verbessert als auch eine Reibung zwischen dem Federstreifen und der Langnut vergrößert, wodurch eine versehentliche Entnahme des Federstreifens aus der Langnut heraus erschwert ist.In further developing the gutter system according to the invention, a respective flange of the gutter body and the associated support profile are sealed against one another by means of a tongue and groove system. The flange preferably has an elongated spring strip which engages in a complementary elongated groove in the support profile. Such a spring strip can preferably have a width in a retaining section which exceeds the width of the elongated groove of the support profile, so that the spring strip is at least partially compressed in the course of the introduction of the spring strip into the elongated groove. As a result, both the sealing contact between the spring strip and the elongated groove is improved and friction between the spring strip and the elongated groove is increased, which makes inadvertent removal of the spring strip from the elongated groove more difficult.

Unabhängig von der Ausgestaltung einer Verbindung zwischen einem jeweiligen Flansch und dem zugehörigen Stützprofil kann es besonders vorteilhaft sein, ein jeweiliges Dichtungselement gleichermaßen mittels eines vorstehend beschriebenen Nut-Feder-Systems an ein zugehöriges Stützprofil anzuschließen. Es versteht sich, dass idealerweise sowohl ein jeweiliger Flansch als auch ein jeweiliges Dichtungselement über Federstreifen verfügen, die jeweils in eine Langnut an der oberen Stirnseite des zugehörigen Stützprofils einfahren. Die Stützprofile weisen an ihrer oberen Stirnseite bei einer solchen Ausführung entsprechend zwei nebeneinander angeordnete Langnuten auf.Regardless of the configuration of a connection between a respective flange and the associated support profile, it can be particularly advantageous to connect a respective sealing element to an associated support profile by means of a tongue-and-groove system as described above. It goes without saying that ideally both a respective flange and a respective sealing element have spring strips which each move into a long groove on the upper end face of the associated support profile. In such an embodiment, the support profiles have two elongated grooves arranged next to one another on their upper end face.

Das erfindungsgemäße Rinnensystem ist weiterhin dann besonders von Vorteil, wenn der Rinnenkörper von einer Mehrzahl einzelner Rinnenkörpersegmente gebildet ist, die in Kraft übertragender Weise miteinander verbunden sind. Idealerweise sind die einzelnen Rinnenkörpersegmente stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden, insbesondere miteinander verschweißt. Hierzu ist es besonders von Vorteil, wenn die Rinnenkörpersegmente und folglich der gesamte Rinnenkörper von einem Kunststoff, insbesondere einem thermoplastischen oder elastomeren Kunststoff, gebildet sind. Derartige Kunststoffe lassen sich vergleichsweise leicht stoffschlüssig miteinander verbinden, im Falle eines thermoplastischen Kunststoffs mittels Verschweißen und im Falle eines elastomeren Kunststoffs mittels Vulkanisieren. Auch ist die Verwendung eines thermoplastischen Elastomers bzw. eines Thermoelasts denkbar.The channel system according to the invention is also particularly advantageous when the channel body is formed by a plurality of individual channel body segments which are connected to one another in a force-transmitting manner. Ideally, the individual channel body segments are materially connected to one another, in particular welded to one another. For this purpose, it is particularly advantageous if the channel body segments and consequently the entire channel body are formed from a plastic, in particular a thermoplastic or elastomeric plastic. Such plastics can be connected to one another with a material fit comparatively easily, in the case of a thermoplastic by means of welding and in the case of an elastomeric plastic by means of vulcanization. The use of a thermoplastic elastomer or a thermal load is also conceivable.

Die Ausgestaltung des Rinnenkörpers aus Kunststoff ist bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystem insbesondere dann besonders einfach möglich, wenn der Rinnenkörper frei von Nutzlast bleibt, die auf das Rinnensystem einwirken. Dies kann besonders einfach mittels der vorstehend beschriebenen Ausgestaltung des Rinnensystems mit einer Rinnenabdeckung erfolgen, deren Breite eine Breite des Rinnenraums übersteigt, sodass auf die Rinnenabdeckung wirkende Nutzlasten unmittelbar zu den Seiten des Rinnensystems hin abgetragen werden und keinen Effekt auf den Rinnenkörper haben. Der Rinnenkörper ist bei dieser Ausgestaltung lediglich mit seinem Eigengewicht sowie etwaigem Wasser belastet, das mittels des Rinnenkörpers gesammelt und abgeführt wird.The design of the channel body made of plastic is particularly easy in the channel system according to the invention, in particular, if the channel body remains free of payloads that act on the channel system. This can be done particularly easily by means of the above-described configuration of the gutter system with a gutter cover, the width of which exceeds a width of the inner space, so that on Payloads acting on the channel cover are carried directly to the sides of the channel system and have no effect on the channel body. In this embodiment, the channel body is only loaded with its own weight and any water that is collected and discharged by means of the channel body.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystem ist eine Dichtungsebene, die zwischen einem jeweiligen Flansch des Rinnenkörpers und/oder einem jeweiligen Dichtungselement und der Oberfläche der oberen Stirnseite des zugehörigen Stützprofils ausgebildet ist, maximal 5 cm unterhalb einer Oberfläche des Bodens angeordnet. Vorzugsweise beträgt ein Abstand zwischen besagter Dichtungsebene und der Oberfläche des Bodens maximal 3 cm, weiter vorzugsweise maximal 2 cm. Diese Ausgestaltung ist im Hinblick auf die Wartungsfreundlichkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystems von Vorteil, da die Dichtungsebene besonders einfach von der Oberseite des Bodens her zugänglich ist. Der geringe Abstand zwischen der Dichtungsebene und der Oberfläche des Bodens kann konstruktiv besonders einfach dadurch hergestellt werden, dass die Stützprofile zumindest mit einem aufrecht stehenden Schenkel nah zu der Oberfläche des Bodens geführt sind, sodass die obere Stirnseite eines jeweiligen Stützprofils sich in geringem Abstand zu der Oberfläche des Bodens befindet. Da die Flansche und die Dichtungselemente mit der oberen Stirnseite der Stützprofile zusammenwirken, versteht es sich, dass folglich auch die Dichtungsebene entsprechend nah zu der Oberfläche des Bodens angeordnet sind.In a preferred embodiment of the channel system according to the invention, a sealing plane, which is formed between a respective flange of the channel body and / or a respective sealing element and the surface of the upper end face of the associated support profile, is arranged a maximum of 5 cm below a surface of the floor. A distance between said sealing plane and the surface of the floor is preferably a maximum of 3 cm, more preferably a maximum of 2 cm. This configuration is advantageous with regard to the ease of maintenance of the gutter system according to the invention, since the sealing plane is particularly easily accessible from the top of the floor. The small distance between the sealing plane and the surface of the floor can be constructed in a particularly simple manner in that the support profiles are guided close to the surface of the floor with at least one upright leg, so that the upper end face of a respective support profile is at a small distance from the Surface of the floor is located. Since the flanges and the sealing elements interact with the upper end face of the support profiles, it is understood that consequently the sealing plane is also arranged correspondingly close to the surface of the floor.

Schließlich kann das Rinnensystem in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung mit zwei langgestreckten Seitenprofilen ausgestattet sein, die jeweils einem der Stützprofile zugeordnet sind. Diese Seitenprofile sind dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie das Rinnensystem seitlich gegen den angrenzenden Boden abschließen, sodass der Boden insbesondere von der Rinnenabdeckung vollständig entkoppelt ist. Vorteilhafterweise tritt der Boden in einem eingebauten Zustand des Rinnensystems lediglich mit den Stützprofilen, den Dichtungselementen und den besagten Seitenprofilen in unmittelbaren Kontakt. Die übrigen Bauteile des Rinnensystems sind hingegen vollständig von dem Boden entkoppelt. Dies hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass ein Austausch derjenigen Bauteile, die nicht mit dem Boden in Kontakt sind, ohne Weiteres möglich ist, insbesondere ohne den Boden bearbeiten zu müssen. Am Beispiel einer Rinnenabdeckung erläutert kann letztere von dem Rinnensystem demontiert werden, ohne dass hierdurch der Boden bearbeitet oder beschädigt werden muss. Dieser ist insbesondere in einem oberen Bereich mittels der Seitenprofile seitlich von dem Rinnensystem abgegrenzt.Finally, in an advantageous embodiment, the gutter system can be equipped with two elongated side profiles which are each assigned to one of the support profiles. These side profiles are characterized in that they close the channel system laterally against the adjacent floor, so that the floor is completely decoupled from the channel cover in particular. In an installed state of the channel system, the floor advantageously only comes into direct contact with the support profiles, the sealing elements and the said side profiles. The other components of the gutter system, however, are completely decoupled from the floor. This has the particular advantage that those components that are not in contact with the ground can easily be replaced, in particular without having to work on the ground. Using the example of a gutter cover, the latter can be dismantled from the gutter system without the floor having to be worked on or damaged as a result. This is delimited laterally from the channel system in particular in an upper area by means of the side profiles.

Die Seitenprofile erstrecken sich vorteilhafterweise ausgehend von der Oberfläche des Bodens nach unten bzw. von unten her betrachtet bis zu einer Oberfläche des Bodens. Eine obere Stirnfläche der Seitenprofile schließt mithin bündig mit dem Boden ab. In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung sind die Seitenprofile von einem Flachstahl gebildet, der seitlich jeweils an ein zugehöriges Stützprofil angeschlossen, insbesondere mit dem Stützprofil verschraubt, wird.The side profiles extend advantageously starting from the surface of the floor downwards or viewed from below as far as a surface of the floor. An upper end face of the side profiles is therefore flush with the floor. In an advantageous embodiment, the side profiles are formed from a flat steel that is laterally connected to an associated support profile, in particular screwed to the support profile.

Die zugrunde liegende Aufgabe wird ferner mittels eines Verfahrens zur Montage eines Rinnensystems der vorstehend beschriebenen Art gelöst, dass die folgenden Verfahrensschritte umfasst:

  1. a) Mindestens zwei Stützprofile werden einander gegenüberliegend jeweils zumindest mit Abschnitten des Bodens in Kraft übertragender Weise verbunden, sodass die Stützprofile zwischen sich einen Rinnenraum begrenzen.
  2. b) Mindestens ein Rinnenkörper, der zwei sich gegenüberliegende, sich ausgehend von oberen Enden des im Übrigen U-förmigen Rinnenkörpers erstreckenden Flansche aufweist, wird mittels seiner Flansche derart auf die Stützprofile aufgelegt, dass Unterseiten der Flansche zumindest in mittelbarem Kontakt mit Oberflächen oberer Stirnseiten der jeweils korrespondierenden Stützprofile befinden.
  3. c) Jeweils ein Dichtungselement wird jeweils derart unmittelbar auf der Oberflächen der oberen Stirnseiten jeweils eines der Stützprofile angeordnet, wobei jeweils ein Dichtungselement sich in eine zu dem Rinnenkörper abgewandte Seite des zugehörigen Stützprofils erstreckt und zumindest mit einem dem Rinnenkörper abgewandten Enden einen Anschluss des Rinnensystems an ein Dichtungssystem des Bauwerks ermöglicht.
  4. d) Die Flansche des Rinnenkörpers und die Dichtungselemente werden mittels mindestens eines Andrückprofils zumindest mittelbar auf die Oberfläche der oberen Stirnseite der jeweils korrespondierenden Stützprofile gedrückt, sodass die Flansche und die Dichtungselemente mit den Stützprofilen in einem dichtenden Kontakt stehen
  5. e) das Rinnensystem mit einer Rinnenabdeckung versehen wird sodass die Rinnenabdeckung den Rinnenraum derart überbrückt, dass vertikale Lasten, die in einem Bereich des Rinnenraumes wirken, zu den Seiten des Rinnenraums hin abtragbar sind.
The underlying object is also achieved by means of a method for assembling a gutter system of the type described above that comprises the following method steps:
  1. a) At least two support profiles are connected opposite one another in each case with at least sections of the floor in a force-transmitting manner, so that the support profiles delimit an interior space between them.
  2. b) At least one channel body, which has two opposing flanges extending from the upper ends of the otherwise U-shaped channel body, is placed on the support profiles by means of its flanges in such a way that the undersides of the flanges are at least in indirect contact with surfaces of the upper end faces of the respectively corresponding support profiles are located.
  3. c) In each case one sealing element is arranged directly on the surfaces of the upper end faces of one of the support profiles, with one sealing element each extending into a side of the associated support profile facing away from the channel body and a connection of the channel system to at least one end facing away from the channel body a sealing system of the structure enables.
  4. d) The flanges of the channel body and the sealing elements are pressed at least indirectly onto the surface of the upper end face of the respective corresponding support profiles by means of at least one pressure profile, so that the flanges and the sealing elements are in sealing contact with the support profiles
  5. e) the gutter system is provided with a gutter cover so that the gutter cover bridges the gutter space in such a way that vertical loads that act in a region of the gutter space can be transferred to the sides of the gutter space.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren besonders gut dazu geeignet, dass erfindungsgemäße Rinnensystem hervorzubringen. Der Rinnenkörper wird im Laufe der Montage an einen Ablauf angeschlossen, sodass Wasser aus dem Rinnenkörper ableitbar ist. Insbesondere kann der Ablauf über einen Anschlussstutzen verfügen, der von einem Thermoplast oder einem thermoplastischem Elastomer gebildet ist. Sofern dies auch auf den Rinnenkörper zutrifft, kann der Ablauf mit dem Rinnenkörper verschweißt werden und auf diese Weise einen dichten Übergang von dem Rinnenkörper hin zum Ablauf schaffen.The method according to the invention is particularly well suited to producing the channel system according to the invention. The channel body is connected to a drain during assembly so that water can be drained from the channel body. In particular, the drain can have a connection piece which is formed from a thermoplastic or a thermoplastic elastomer. If this also applies to the channel body, the drain can be welded to the channel body and in this way create a tight transition from the channel body to the drain.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens wird der Rinnenkörper aus einer Mehrzahl einzelner Rinnenkörpersegmente zusammengesetzt. Insbesondere werden die Rinnenkörpersegmente miteinander verschweißt. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn die Rinnenkörpersegmente von einem thermoplastischen Kunststoff oder einem thermoplastischen Elastomer gebildet sind. Alternativ ist es ebenso denkbar, dass die Rinnenkörpersegmente mittels Vulkanisieren miteinander verbunden werden, wobei die Rinnenkörpersegmente von einem elastomeren Kunststoff gebildet sind.In an advantageous embodiment of the method, the channel body is composed of a plurality of individual channel body segments. In particular, the channel body segments are welded to one another. This is particularly advantageous when the channel body segments are formed from a thermoplastic synthetic material or a thermoplastic elastomer. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the channel body segments are connected to one another by means of vulcanization, the channel body segments being formed from an elastomeric plastic.

Vorteilhafterweise werden im Zuge der Fertigung des Rinnenkörpers des erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystems die folgenden Verfahrensschritte vorgenommen:

  • f) Eine Mehrzahl von Rinnenkörpersegmenten wird in einer externen Fertigungsstätte, die sich abseits einer Montagestätte des Rinnensystems befindet, stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden, sodass die Rinnenkörpersegmente fortan gemeinsam einen langgestreckten Rinnenkörper bilden.
  • g) Der Rinnenkörper wird derart elastisch verformt, dass er auf eine Ladefläche eines Transportfahrzeugs passt.
  • h) Der Rinnenkörper wird mittels des Transportfahrzeugs zu der Montagestätte transportiert, dort von der Ladefläche abgeladen und schließlich in einem entformten Zustand in das Rinnensystem eingesetzt.
The following process steps are advantageously carried out in the course of manufacturing the channel body of the channel system according to the invention:
  • f) A plurality of channel body segments are cohesively connected to one another in an external production facility, which is located away from an assembly site of the gutter system, so that the channel body segments together form an elongated channel body from now on.
  • g) The channel body is elastically deformed in such a way that it fits on a loading area of a transport vehicle.
  • h) The channel body is transported by means of the transport vehicle to the assembly site, there unloaded from the loading area and finally inserted into the channel system in a demolded state.

Das so ausgestaltete Verfahren hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass die Fertigung des Rinnenkörpers nicht vor Ort auf der Baustelle, auf der das Rinnensystem eingebaut werden soll, sondern an einer externen Fertigungsstätte vorgenommen werden kann. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Rinnenkörpers aus Kunststoff bietet nämlich den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass der Rinnenkörper insgesamt elastisch verformbar ist, sodass auch solche Rinnenkörper transportierbar sind, deren Länge die Länge einer Ladefläche eines Transportfahrzeugs deutlich übersteigen. Es versteht sich, dass die meisten Rinnensysteme eine Länge aufweisen, die die Länge einer Ladefläche eines Transportfahrzeugs übersteigen. Entsprechend ist es im Stand der Technik notwendig, einzelne Rinnenkörpersegmente, die mittels eines Transportfahrzeugs transportabel sind, erst an der Montagestelle des Rinnensystems miteinander zu verbinden und schließlich den gesamten Rinnenkörper zu bilden.The method designed in this way has the particular advantage that the channel body cannot be manufactured on site on the construction site on which the channel system is to be installed, but rather at an external manufacturing facility. The inventive design of the channel body made of plastic offers the essential advantage that the channel body is elastically deformable overall, so that those channel bodies can also be transported whose length significantly exceeds the length of a loading area of a transport vehicle. It goes without saying that most gutter systems have a length that is the length of a loading area of a transport vehicle exceed. Correspondingly, in the prior art it is necessary to connect individual channel body segments, which are transportable by means of a transport vehicle, to one another only at the assembly point of the channel system and finally to form the entire channel body.

Bei Verwendung eines elastischen Kunststoffs als Material für die Rinnenkörpersegmente und somit den gesamten Rinnenkörper ist es nunmehr erfindungsgemäß möglich, den Rinnenkörper elastisch zu verformen, insbesondere aufzurollen oder aufzuwickeln, zu falten, zu knicken oder dergleichen, um eine effektive Länge des Rinnenkörpers insgesamt derart zu verkürzen, dass er auf einem Transportfahrzeug transportiert werden kann. Angekommen auf der Baustelle muss diese elastische Verformung des Rinnenkörpers lediglich rückgängig gemacht werden, beispielsweise der Rinnenkörper abgewickelt werden. Im Anschluss liegt der Rinnenkörper als Ganzes vor, ohne dass hierfür eine sich anschließende Bearbeitung an der Montagestelle des Rinnensystems notwendig ist. Hierdurch werden sowohl die Kosten der Montage reduziert als auch Fehlerquellen im Zuge der Montage an der Montagestätte vermieden.If an elastic plastic is used as the material for the channel body segments and thus the entire channel body, it is now possible according to the invention to elastically deform the channel body, in particular to roll it up or wind it up, to fold it, to bend it or the like in order to shorten an effective length of the channel body overall that it can be transported on a transport vehicle. Once at the construction site, this elastic deformation of the channel body only has to be reversed, for example the channel body must be unwound. The channel body is then available as a whole, without the need for subsequent processing at the installation point of the channel system. This both reduces the costs of assembly and avoids sources of error in the course of assembly at the assembly site.

Insbesondere ist es vorstellbar, einen vollständigen Rinnenkörper auf einen Rollzylinder aufzurollen, der sodann auf der Ladefläche eines Transportfahrzeugs lediglich einen geringen Platz einnimmt. Idealerweise kann ein derartiger Rollzylinder ohne den Einsatz von Maschinen an der Montagestätte des Rinnensystems von dem Transportfahrzeug abgeladen und abgerollt werden, sodass der Rinnenkörper im Anschluss daran zum Einsatz in das Rinnensystem geeignet ist.In particular, it is conceivable to roll up a complete channel body onto a rolling cylinder, which then only takes up a small amount of space on the loading area of a transport vehicle. Ideally, such a rolling cylinder can be unloaded from the transport vehicle and unrolled without the use of machines at the installation site of the channel system, so that the channel body is then suitable for use in the channel system.

Schließlich wird die zugrunde liegende Aufgabe mittels eines Verfahrens zur Wartung eines Rinnensystems der vorstehend beschriebenen Art gelöst, das die folgenden Verfahrensschritte umfasst:

  1. i) Mindestens ein Andrückprofil, mittels dessen ein Rinnenkörper zumindest teilweise auf korrespondierende Stirnflächen von einen Rinnenkörper stützenden Stützprofilen gedrückt ist, sodass der Rinnenkörper mit den Stützprofilen zumindest mittelbar dichtend eingreift, wird derart gelöst, dass der Rinnenkörper relativ zu den Stützprofilen frei bewegbar ist.
  2. ii) Der Rinnenkörper wird zumindest teilweise aus einem Rinnenraum, der sich zwischen den Stützprofilen erstreckt, zerstörungsfrei entnommen, wobei ein umliegender Boden, in den das Rinnensystem eingesetzt ist, unbearbeitet verbleibt.
Finally, the underlying object is achieved by means of a method for maintaining a channel system of the type described above, which comprises the following method steps:
  1. i) At least one pressure profile, by means of which a channel body is at least partially pressed onto corresponding end faces of support profiles supporting a channel body, so that the channel body engages the support profiles at least indirectly in a sealing manner, is released in such a way that the channel body is freely movable relative to the support profiles.
  2. ii) The channel body is at least partially removed non-destructively from an interior space that extends between the support profiles, a surrounding floor in which the channel system is inserted remains unprocessed.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist mittels des erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystems besonders einfach durchführbar. Es hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass es ohne zerstörenden Eingriff sowohl in das Rinnensystem als auch in den Boden, der das Rinnensystem umgibt, ausgeführt werden kann. Ein Austausch des Rinnenkörpers und gegebenenfalls einer Rinnenabdeckung ist ohne Weiteres möglich, da der Rinnenkörper von dem Boden entkoppelt ist. Dies ist - wie vorstehend erläutert - durch die Wirkung der erfindungsgemäßen Dichtungselemente sichergestellt, die unabhängig von dem Rinnenkörper einen dichten Anschluss des Rinnensystems an ein Dichtungssystem des zugehörigen Bauwerks sicherstellen.The method according to the invention can be carried out particularly easily by means of the channel system according to the invention. It has the particular advantage that it can be implemented both in the gutter system and in the soil surrounding the gutter system without any destructive interference. An exchange of the channel body and, if necessary, a channel cover is easily possible since the channel body is decoupled from the floor. As explained above, this is ensured by the action of the sealing elements according to the invention, which ensure a tight connection of the gutter system to a sealing system of the associated structure independently of the channel body.

Ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel, das in Figur 1 gezeigt ist, umfasst ein erfindungsgemäßes Rinnensystem 1, das zwei parallel zueinander angeordnete, lang gestreckte Stützprofile 2 aufweist, die einen Boden 4 seitlich gegen einen Rinnenraum 3 abgrenzen, der sich zwischen den Stützprofilen 2 erstreckt. Die Stützprofile 2, die hier von Aluminiumstrangpressprofilen gebildet sind, weisen einen L-förmigen Querschnitt auf. Der Rinnenraum 3, der sich zwischen den Stützprofilen 2 erstreckt, ist mittels eines Rinnenkörpers 5 überbrückt. Auf diese Weise ist das Rinnensystem 1 dazu geeignet, Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Wasser, die in den Rinnenraum 3 eindringt, mittels des Rinnenkörpers 5 zu sammeln und kontrolliert abzuleiten. Ausgehend von dem Rinnenkörper 5 kann das Wasser sodann insbesondere mittels eines Abflusses 32, der strömungstechnisch an den Rinnenkörper 5 angeschlossen ist, weiter abgeführt werden. Der Rinnenkörper 5 ist hier von einem elastisch verformbaren, thermoplastischen Kunststoff gebildet. Eine Wandstärke des Rinnenkörpers 5 beträgt hier 5 mm.A first embodiment that is shown in Figure 1 is shown, comprises a gutter system 1 according to the invention, which has two elongated support profiles 2 arranged parallel to one another, which delimit a floor 4 laterally against an interior space 3 which extends between the support profiles 2 . The support profiles 2, which are formed here from extruded aluminum profiles, have an L-shaped cross section. The channel space 3, which extends between the support profiles 2 , is bridged by means of a channel body 5. In this way, the channel system 1 is suitable for collecting liquid, in particular water, which penetrates into the inner space 3 , by means of the channel body 5 and draining it away in a controlled manner. Starting from the channel body 5 , the water can then be carried away further, in particular by means of a drain 32 which is fluidically connected to the channel body 5. Of the Channel body 5 is formed here from an elastically deformable, thermoplastic material. A wall thickness of the channel body 5 is 5 mm here.

Der Rinnenkörper 5, der U-förmig ausgebildet ist, weist an einander gegenüberliegenden oberen seitlichen Enden 9 jeweils einen Flansch 8 auf, wobei diese Flansche 8 sich ausgehend von den Enden 9 in eine in etwa horizontale Richtung zu dem Rinnenraum 3 abgewandten Seiten 13 der Stützprofile 2 erstrecken. Endseitig ist der Rinnenkörper 5 zudem mit in den Figuren nicht dargestellten Stirnwänden verschlossen, die einen endseitigen Austritt des Wassers aus dem Rinnenkörper 5 blockieren. Der Rinnenkörper 5 liegt mit seinen Flanschen 8 auf oberen Stirnseiten 11 der Stützprofile 2 auf. Die Stützprofile 2 weisen jeweils eine Langnut 21 auf, die dazu geeignet ist, mit einem komplementären Federstreifen 20 eines jeweils zugehörigen Flansches 8 des Rinnenkörpers 5 formschlüssig einzugreifen, sodass zwischen einer Unterseite des jeweiligen Flansches 8 und einer Oberfläche der oberen Stirnseiten 11 des zugehörigen Stützprofils 2 ein dichtender Kontakt zustande kommt. Ein Durchtritt von Wasser ist mithin in einer Dichtungsebene 24, die sich zwischen der Unterseite des jeweiligen Flansches 8 und der oberen Stirnfläche 11 des jeweiligen Stützprofils 2 befindet, unterbunden.The gutter body 5, the U-shaped, has on opposite upper lateral ends 9 each have a flange 8, whereby these flanges 8 extending from the ends 9 facing away in a horizontal in about the direction of the channel space 3 sides 13 of the supporting profiles 2 extend. The end of the channel body 5 is also closed with end walls, not shown in the figures, which block an end-side exit of the water from the channel body 5. The channel body 5 rests with its flanges 8 on the upper end faces 11 of the support profiles 2 . The support profiles 2 each have a long groove 21 which is suitable for positively engaging with a complementary spring strip 20 of a respective associated flange 8 of the channel body 5 , so that between an underside of the respective flange 8 and a surface of the upper end faces 11 of the associated support profile 2 a sealing contact is made. A passage of water is therefore prevented in a sealing plane 24, which is located between the underside of the respective flange 8 and the upper end face 11 of the respective support profile 2.

Die Federstreifen 20 der Flansche 8 weisen jeweils eine Breite auf, die eine Breite der korrespondierenden Langnut 21 des zugehörigen Stützprofils 2 übersteigt, sodass die Federstreifen 20 gewissermaßen in ihre jeweilige Langnut 21 eingedrückt werden müssen. Hierbei werden die Federstreifen 20 komprimiert, wodurch sich ein gesteigerter Reibschluss zwischen den Federstreifen 20 und der Langnut 21 einstellt. Dieser Reibschluss begünstigt sowohl eine Dichtwirkung des Nut-Feder-Systems als auch eine Kraftübertragung zwischen dem Rinnenkörper 5 und den Stützprofilen 2. The spring strips 20 of the flanges 8 each have a width that exceeds a width of the corresponding elongated groove 21 of the associated support profile 2 , so that the spring strips 20 have to be pressed into their respective elongated groove 21, so to speak. Here, the spring strips 20 are compressed, as a result of which an increased frictional connection is established between the spring strips 20 and the elongated groove 21 . This frictional engagement promotes both a sealing effect of the tongue and groove system and a force transmission between the channel body 5 and the support profiles 2.

Jeweils seitlich neben den Flanschen 8 verfügt das erfindungsgemäße Rinnensystem 1 über Dichtungselemente 12. Diese sind von dem Rinnenraum 3 aus betrachtet jeweils jenseits der Flansche 8 an den oberen Stirnseiten 11 der zugehörigen Stützprofile 2 angeordnet. In dem gezeigten Beispiel sind die Dichtungselemente 12 gleichermaßen mittels eines Nut-Feder-Systems mit den Stützprofilen 2 verbunden, wobei Federstreifen 27 der Dichtungselemente 12 in Langnuten 28 der Stützprofile 2 eingreifen. An der oberen Stirnseite 11 befinden sich die Dichtungselemente 12 mit den Stützprofilen 2 jeweils in einem dichtenden Kontakt.The channel system 1 according to the invention has sealing elements 12 to the side next to the flanges 8. These are each arranged on the other side of the flanges 8 on the upper end faces 11 of the associated support profiles 2 when viewed from the inner space 3 . In the example shown, the sealing elements 12 are likewise connected to the support profiles 2 by means of a tongue and groove system, with spring strips 27 of the sealing elements 12 engaging in elongated grooves 28 of the support profiles 2 . On the upper end face 11 , the sealing elements 12 are each in sealing contact with the support profiles 2.

Oberhalb der Flansche 8 des Rinnenkörpers 5 verfügt das gezeigte Rinnensystem 1 pro Stützprofil 2 jeweils über ein Andrückprofil 10. Die Andrückprofile 10 sind hier von L-förmigen Kappen gebildet, die jeweils mit einem langen Schenkel auf einer Oberseite der Flansche 8 aufliegen und mit einem kurzen Schenkel seitlich der Stützprofile 2 nach unten geführt sind. Die Andrückprofile 10 sind jeweils mittels Schrauben 18 mit den Stützprofilen 2 in Kraft übertragender Weise verbunden. Mittels dieser Verschraubungen üben die Andrückprofile 10 eine Druckkraft auf den jeweils zugehörigen Flansch 8 sowie das jeweils zugehörige Dichtungselement 12 aus, wodurch der dichtende Kontakt sowohl des Flansches 8 als auch des Dichtungselements 12 mit der oberen Stirnseite 11 des jeweiligen Stützprofils 2 sichergestellt ist.Above the flanges 8 of the gutter body 5 has the gutter system 1 shown per supporting profile 2 each have a Andrückprofil 10. The Andrückprofile 10 caps are here formed by L-shaped, each with a long leg on a top surface Flanges 8 rest and are guided downwards with a short leg on the side of the support profiles 2. The pressure profiles 10 are each connected by means of screws 18 to the support profiles 2 in a force-transmitting manner. By means of these screw connections, the pressure profiles 10 exert a compressive force on the respectively associated flange 8 and the respectively associated sealing element 12 , whereby the sealing contact of both the flange 8 and the sealing element 12 with the upper end face 11 of the respective support profile 2 is ensured.

Die Dichtungselemente 12 sind unter dem zugehörigen Andrückprofil in 10 entlang dem zugehörigen Stützprofil 2 in eine einer Oberseite 15 des Bodens 4 abgewandte Richtung nach unten geführt, wobei ein Ende 14 eines jeweiligen Dichtungselements 12 unter dem zugehörigen Andrückprofil 10 hervorragt. Dieses Ende 14 des Dichtungselements 12 ist dazu geeignet, an ein sich anschließendes Dichtungssystem des Bauwerks, in das das Rinnensystem 1 eingesetzt ist, angeschlossen zu werden. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, dass eine Flüssigkeit, die auf dem Boden 4 des Bauwerks anfällt, nicht an einer unbeabsichtigten Stelle in das Bauwerk eindringt, sondern zuverlässig zu dem Rinnensystem 1 geleitet wird, von wo aus es mittels des Rinnenkörpers 5 abgeleitet werden kann. In dem gezeigten Beispiel erstreckt sich das Dichtungselement 12 entlang ca. 20 % einer Höhe 16 des zugehörigen Stützprofils 2. The sealing elements 12 are guided downwards under the associated pressure profile in FIG. 10 along the associated support profile 2 in a direction facing away from an upper side 15 of the base 4 , one end 14 of a respective sealing element 12 protruding under the associated pressure profile 10 . This end 14 of the sealing element 12 is suitable for being connected to a subsequent sealing system of the structure in which the gutter system 1 is inserted. This ensures that a liquid that accumulates on the floor 4 of the structure does not penetrate the structure at an unintended point, but is reliably conducted to the gutter system 1 , from where it can be drained off by means of the gutter body 5 . In the example shown, the sealing element 12 extends along approximately 20% of a height 16 of the associated support profile 2.

Der Anschluss des erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystems 1 an ein Dichtungssystem des Bauwerks erfolgt durch Wirkung der Dichtungselemente 12 vollständig unabhängig von dem Rinnenkörper 5. Dies hat zur Folge, dass es bei dem gezeigten Beispiel gemäß Figur 1 ohne Weiteres denkbar ist, die Andrückprofile 10 des Rinnensystems 1 von dem jeweils zugehörigen Stützprofil 2 zu lösen und daraufhin den Rinnenkörper 5 in eine Richtung nach oben zu entnehmen. Hierfür ist es erfindungsgemäß nicht notwendig, eine Verbindung des Rinnenkörpers 5 mit dem Boden 4 zu lösen, da eine derartige Verbindung nicht besteht. Stattdessen wird der Anschluss des Rinnensystems 1 erfindungsgemäß mittels der Dichtungselemente 12 sichergestellt, die unabhängig von dem Rinnenkörper 5 in ihrer in Figur 1 gezeigten Position verbleiben können. Auf diese Weise ist es bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystem 1 besonders einfach möglich, den Rinnenkörper 5 zu warten.The connection of the gutter system 1 according to the invention to a sealing system of the building takes place through the action of the sealing elements 12 completely independently of the gutter body 5 Figure 1 It is easily conceivable to detach the pressure profiles 10 of the gutter system 1 from the respectively associated support profile 2 and then to remove the gutter body 5 in an upward direction. For this purpose, according to the invention, it is not necessary to release a connection between the channel body 5 and the floor 4 , since such a connection does not exist. Instead, the connection of the gutter system 1 is ensured according to the invention by means of the sealing elements 12 , which are independent of the gutter body 5 in their in Figure 1 can remain in the position shown. In this way, with the gutter system 1 according to the invention, it is possible to maintain the gutter body 5 in a particularly simple manner.

Oberhalb der Andrückprofile 10 verfügt das gezeigte Rinnensystem 1 über eine Rinnenabdeckung 17, die den Rinnenraum 3 überbrückt. Die Rinnenabdeckung 17 weist eine Breite 22 auf, die eine Breite 23 des Rinnenkörpers 5 übersteigt, sodass ein Abtrag von Lasten, die auf die Rinnenabdeckung 17 wirken, zu beiden Seiten des Rinnensystems 1 möglich ist, ohne hierfür den Rinnenkörper 5 zu beaufschlagen. Bei dem gezeigten Beispiel liegt die Rinnenabdeckung 17 mittelbar, das heißt unter Zwischenschaltung der Andrückprofile 10 sowie der Flansche 8 und der Dichtungselemente 12, auf den oberen Stirnseiten 11 der Stützprofile 2 auf. Die Rinnenabdeckung 11 ist ihrerseits mittels Schrauben 19 mit den Stützprofilen 2 in Kraft übertragender Weise verbunden. Grundsätzlich ist es denkbar, dass eine Rinnenabdeckung 17 als Andrückprofil sowohl für die Flansche 8 als auch die Dichtungselemente 12 wirkt. In dem gezeigten Beispiel ist dies nicht der Fall; dort werden zur Andrückung der Flansche 8 und der Dichtungselemente 12 die beschriebenen Andrückprofile 10 verwendet. Letzteres hat den Vorteil, dass es bei dem Rinnensystem 1 besonders einfach möglich ist, die Rinnenabdeckung 17 von dem übrigen Rinnensystem 1 zu demontieren, ohne den dichtenden Eingriff zwischen den Flanschen 8 bzw. den Dichtungselementen 12 und den zugehörigen Stützprofilen 2 zu beeinträchtigen. Im Hinblick auf die Wartungsfreundlichkeit des Rinnensystems 1 ist dies von Vorteil.Above the pressure profiles 10 , the channel system 1 shown has a channel cover 17 which bridges the inner space 3. The channel cover 17 has a width 22 that exceeds a width 23 of the channel body 5 , so that loads that act on the channel cover 17 can be removed on both sides of the channel system 1 without impacting the channel body 5 . In the example shown the channel cover 17 rests indirectly, that is to say with the interposition of the pressure profiles 10 as well as the flanges 8 and the sealing elements 12, on the upper end faces 11 of the support profiles 2 . The channel cover 11 is in turn connected by means of screws 19 to the support profiles 2 in a force-transmitting manner. In principle, it is conceivable that a channel cover 17 acts as a pressure profile for both the flanges 8 and the sealing elements 12 . In the example shown this is not the case; there, the pressure profiles 10 described are used to press the flanges 8 and the sealing elements 12 . The latter has the advantage that in the gutter system 1 it is particularly easy to dismantle the gutter cover 17 from the rest of the gutter system 1 without impairing the sealing engagement between the flanges 8 or the sealing elements 12 and the associated support profiles 2. With regard to the ease of maintenance of the gutter system 1 , this is advantageous.

Die Rinnenabdeckung 17 ist entlang ihrer Längsachse mit Verstärkungsprofilen 26 ausgestattet, die die Tragfähigkeit der Rinnenabdeckung 17 erhöhen.The channel cover 17 is equipped with reinforcing profiles 26 along its longitudinal axis, which increase the load-bearing capacity of the channel cover 17 .

Das gezeigte Rinnensystem 1 verfügt ferner über zwei lang gestreckte Seitenprofile 25, die jeweils mit einem der Stützprofile 2 korrespondieren. Die Seitenprofile 25 sind in dem gezeigten Beispiel jeweils von einem Flachstahl gebildet, der aufrecht stehend an dem Rinnensystem 1 montiert ist. Hierzu ist jedes der Seitenprofile 25 mit dem kurzen Schenkel des zugehörigen Andrückprofils 10 verbunden. Die Seitenprofile 25 sind derart an dem Rinnensystem 1 angeordnet, das obere Stirnseiten 35 der Seitenprofile 25 bündig mit der Oberfläche 15 des Bodens 4 abschließen. Dies hat den besonderen Effekt, dass der Boden 4 von den übrigen Bauteilen des Rinnensystems 1 entkoppelt ist, nämlich insbesondere von der Rinnenabdeckung 17 und dem Rinnenkörper 5. Dies hat wiederum den besonderen Vorteil, dass sowohl die Rinnenabdeckung 17 als auch der Rinnenkörper 5 von dem Rinnensystem 1 demontiert werden können, ohne dass hierfür ein spezieller Eingriff mit dem Boden 4 notwendig ist. Insbesondere muss der Boden 4 nicht bearbeitet werden.The channel system 1 shown also has two elongated side profiles 25 which each correspond to one of the support profiles 2. In the example shown, the side profiles 25 are each formed by flat steel which is mounted on the channel system 1 in an upright position. For this purpose, each of the side profiles 25 is connected to the short leg of the associated pressure profile 10 . The side profiles 25 are arranged on the channel system 1 in such a way that the upper end faces 35 of the side profiles 25 are flush with the surface 15 of the floor 4 . This has the particular effect that the base 4 is decoupled from the other components of the gutter system 1, namely in particular by the channel cover 17 and the channel body 5. This in turn has the particular advantage that both the channel cover 17 and the channel body 5 of the The gutter system 1 can be dismantled without any special intervention in the floor 4 being necessary. In particular, the floor 4 does not have to be processed.

Das Rinnensystem 1 gemäß Figur 1 ist in Figur 2 noch einmal in einer isometrischen Ansicht dargestellt. In dieser Ansicht ist besonders gut erkennbar, dass sich der Rinnenkörper 5 mit seiner Längsachse 6 parallel zu Längsachsen 7 der Stützprofile 2 erstreckt. Ferner ist erkennbar, dass die Stützprofile 2 mittels Schrauben 36 mit den Andrückprofilen 10 verbunden sind. Die Rinnenabdeckung 17 weist eine Vielzahl von Ausnehmungen 29 auf, die hier in Form lang gestreckter Schlitze ausgebildet sind. Diese Ausnehmungen 29 erlauben den Durchtritt einer Flüssigkeit von einer Oberseite der Rinnenabdeckung 17 her in den Rinnenkörper 5. The gutter system 1 according to Figure 1 is in Figure 2 shown again in an isometric view. In this view it can be seen particularly well that the channel body 5 extends with its longitudinal axis 6 parallel to the longitudinal axes 7 of the support profiles 2 . It can also be seen that the support profiles 2 are connected to the pressure profiles 10 by means of screws 36 . The channel cover 17 has a plurality of recesses 29 , which are designed here in the form of elongated slots. These recesses 29 allow a liquid to pass from an upper side of the channel cover 17 into the channel body 5.

Das erfindungsgemäße Rinnensystem 1 gemäß Figur 1 ist ferner in Figur 3 in einem an einem Bauwerk montierten Zustand dargestellt. Im Unterschied zu dem Rinnensystem 1 gemäß Figur 1 sind hier gleichwohl andere Dichtungselemente 12 zur Anwendung gekommen, deren dem Rinnenraum 3 abgewandten Enden 4 sich bis auf einen unteren Schenkel 37 der Stützprofile 2 erstrecken und dort aufliegen. Die Stützprofile 2 sind mittels Verbindungsmitteln 33, die hier in Form von Gewindebolzen ausgeführt sind, in einer Stahlbetondecke 31 verankert. Auf dem Schenkel 37 eines jeweiligen Stützprofils 2 ist das zugehörige Dichtungselement 12 mit einer Bitumenbahn 30 des Bauwerks dichtend verbunden, sodass der dichtende Anschluss des Rinnensystems 1 an das Dichtungssystem des Bauwerks hergestellt ist. Die "langen" Dichtungselemente 12 gemäß Figur 3 können insbesondere dann zur Anwendung kommen, wenn das Dichtungssystem des Bauwerks in einem vergleichsweise großen Abstand zu der Oberfläche 15 des Bodens 4 geführt ist. In dem gezeigten Beispiel besteht das Dichtungssystem des Bauwerks aus Bitumenbahnen 30, die auf einer Oberfläche der Stahlbetondecke 31 geführt sind und mit einem Boden 4 überdeckt sind. Die Verwendung "kurzer" Dichtungselemente 12, wie sie bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 1 gezeigt sind, kommen hingegen insbesondere dann zum Einsatz, wenn das Dichtungssystem des Bauwerks in einem geringen Abstand unterhalb der Oberfläche 15 des Bodens 4 geführt ist. Beispielsweise können derart kurze Dichtungselemente 12 an eine obere Dichtungsschicht aus einem Epoxidharz angeschlossen werden.The gutter system 1 according to the invention according to Figure 1 is also in Figure 3 shown in a state mounted on a building. In contrast to the channel system 1 according to Figure 1 However, other sealing elements 12 have been used here, the ends 4 of which, facing away from the interior space 3 , extend to a lower leg 37 of the support profiles 2 and rest there. The support profiles 2 are anchored in a reinforced concrete ceiling 31 by means of connecting means 33, which are designed here in the form of threaded bolts. On the leg 37 of a respective support profile 2 , the associated sealing element 12 is sealingly connected to a bitumen sheet 30 of the structure, so that the sealing connection of the gutter system 1 to the sealing system of the structure is established. The "long" sealing elements 12 according to FIG Figure 3 can be used in particular when the sealing system of the structure is guided at a comparatively large distance from the surface 15 of the floor 4. In the example shown, the sealing system of the structure consists of bitumen sheets 30 which are guided on a surface of the reinforced concrete ceiling 31 and are covered with a floor 4. The use of "short" sealing elements 12, as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG Figure 1 are shown, however, are used in particular when the sealing system of the structure is guided at a small distance below the surface 15 of the floor 4. For example, such short sealing elements 12 can be connected to an upper sealing layer made of an epoxy resin.

Das Rinnensystem 1 gemäß Figur 3 ist in einem Querschnitt dargestellt, der einen vertikalen Ablauf 32 des Bauwerks schneidet. Mittels des Rinnenkörpers 5 gesammeltes und abgeleitetes Wasser wird aus dem Rinnenkörper 5 mittels des Ablaufs 32 abgeführt.The gutter system 1 according to Figure 3 is shown in a cross section which intersects a vertical drain 32 of the structure. By means of the channel body 5 and collected derived water is discharged from the trough body 5 by means of the process 32nd

Eine alternative Ausführungsform des Rinnensystems 1, die in Figur 4 gezeigt ist, ist im Wesentlichen identisch zu derjenigen Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 3 , unterscheidet sich jedoch im Umfang der Rinnenabdeckung 17. Am Beispiel gemäß Figur 3 ist die Rinnenabdeckung 17 von einem Körper gebildet, der mittels seitlicher Flansche auf oberen Stirnseiten 11 der Stützprofile 2 mittelbar aufliegt. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 4 verfügt die Rinnenabdeckung 17 hingegen nicht über derartige Flansche. Stattdessen sind die Andrückprofile 10 des Rinnensystems gemäß Figur 4 derart ausgebildet, dass sie im Bereich des Rinnenraums 3 Auflageflächen 38 bereithalten, auf die die Rinnenabdeckung 17 aufgelegt werden kann. Mit anderen Worten liegt die Rinnenabdeckung 17 bei dem Rinnensystem 1 gemäß Figur 4 gewissermaßen lediglich lose auf den Auflageflächen 38 der Andrückprofile 10 auf.An alternative embodiment of the gutter system 1, which is shown in FIG Figure 4 is shown is essentially identical to that embodiment according to FIG Figure 3 , but differs in the scope of the gutter cover 17. Using the example according to Figure 3 the channel cover 17 is formed by a body which rests indirectly on the upper end faces 11 of the support profiles 2 by means of lateral flanges. In the embodiment according to Figure 4 however, the channel cover 17 does not have such flanges. Instead, the pressure profiles 10 of the channel system are shown in FIG Figure 4 designed in such a way that they hold ready in the region of the channel 3 support surfaces 38 on which the channel cover 17 can be placed. In other words, the gutter cover 17 is located in the gutter system 1 according to FIG Figure 4 to a certain extent only loosely on the bearing surfaces 38 of the pressure profiles 10 .

Schließlich ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystems ein in Figur 5 in einer Explosionsdarstellung dargestellt. Hier sind die einzelnen Komponenten, insbesondere die Stützprofile 2, die Dichtungselemente 12, der Rinnenkörper 5, die Andrückprofile 10 und die Rinnenabdeckung 17 besonders gut erkennbar. Rein beispielhaft ist das Rinnensystem 1 gemäß Figur 5 mit unterschiedlichen Dichtungselementen 12 versehen, sodass die unterschiedliche Ausgestaltung von Dichtungselementen 12 verständlich ist. Somit ist das Dichtungselement 12, dass in Figur 5 auf einer linken Seite des Rinnenraums 3 angeordnet ist, derart lang ausgeführt, dass das Ende 14 des Dichtungselements 12 sich bis auf den unteren Schenkel 37 des zugehörigen Stützprofils 2 und darüber hinaus erstreckt. Ein solches Dichtungselement 12 ist besonders gut zum Anschluss an ein "tiefliegendes" Dichtungssystem eines Bauwerks geeignet wie am Beispiel von Figur 3 gezeigt. Auf der in Figur 5 rechten Seite des Rinnenraums 3 ist das Rinnensystem 1 mit einem kurzen Dichtungselement 12 versehen, dessen Ende 14 bereits nahe unterhalb einer in Figur 5 nicht dargestellten Oberfläche 15 des Bodens 4 endet. Ein derartiges Dichtungselement 12 ist besonders gut an ein oberflächennah angeordnetes Dichtungssystem zugehörigen Bauwerks anschließbar.Finally, another embodiment of a gutter system according to the invention is an in Figure 5 shown in an exploded view. Here the individual components, in particular the support profiles 2, the sealing elements 12, the channel body 5, the pressure profiles 10 and the channel cover 17 can be seen particularly well. The channel system 1 according to FIG. 1 is purely by way of example Figure 5 provided with different sealing elements 12 , so that the different configuration of sealing elements 12 is understandable. Thus, the sealing element 12 that in Figure 5 is arranged on a left side of the channel space 3 , made so long that the end 14 of the sealing element 12 extends up to the lower leg 37 of the associated support profile 2 and beyond. Such a sealing element 12 is particularly well suited for connection to a “deep-seated” sealing system of a building, as in the example of FIG Figure 3 shown. On the in Figure 5 On the right side of the inner space 3 , the gutter system 1 is provided with a short sealing element 12 , the end 14 of which is already close below an in Figure 5 surface 15, not shown, of the bottom 4 ends. Such a sealing element 12 can be connected particularly well to a structure belonging to a sealing system arranged close to the surface.

Ferner ist von besonderer Bedeutung, dass die Dichtungselemente 12 lang gestreckt ausgeführt sind, sodass sie insbesondere dazu geeignet sind, Stoßfugen 34 der Stützprofile 2 zu überdecken. Es versteht sich, dass derartige Stoßfugen 34 eine potentielle Undichtigkeit des Rinnensystems 1 bilden. Mittels der Überdeckung dieser Stoßfugen 34 mittels der Dichtungselemente 12 sind die Stoßfugen 34 zuverlässig abgedichtet. Grundsätzlich unabhängig von der übrigen Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Rinnensystems 1 kann es von besonderem Vorteil sein, wenn die Dichtungselemente 12 von einem Kunststoff, insbesondere einem thermoplastischen oder elastomeren Kunststoff, gebildet, sodass einzelne Segmente von Dichtungselementen 12 besonders einfach miteinander verbunden werden können. Idealerweise werden die Dichtungselemente 12 abseits einer Montagestätte des Rinnensystems 1 bereits auf eine gewünschte Länge gefertigt, sodass an der Montagestätte lediglich die Dichtungselemente 12 mit den Stützprofilen 2 in Eingriff gebracht werden müssen.It is also of particular importance that the sealing elements 12 are designed to be elongated, so that they are particularly suitable for covering butt joints 34 of the support profiles 2. It goes without saying that such butt joints 34 form a potential leak in the gutter system 1 . By covering these butt joints 34 by means of the sealing elements 12 , the butt joints 34 are reliably sealed. Basically regardless of the rest of the configuration of the gutter system 1 according to the invention, it can be of particular advantage if the sealing elements 12 are made of a plastic, in particular a thermoplastic or elastomeric plastic, so that individual segments of sealing elements 12 can be connected to one another particularly easily. Ideally, the sealing elements 12 are already manufactured to a desired length away from an assembly site of the channel system 1 , so that only the sealing elements 12 have to be brought into engagement with the support profiles 2 at the assembly site.

Weiterhin ist der Darstellung gemäß Figur 5 besonders gut entnehmbar, dass die Andrückprofile 10 und die Rinnenabdeckung 17 mittels unterschiedlicher Schrauben 18, 19 mit den Stützprofilen 2 verbunden sind. Bei dem gezeigten Beispiel ist dies so gelöst, dass die Rinnenabdeckung 17 lediglich mittels halb so vieler Verbindungen an die Stützprofile 2 angeschlossen ist wie die Andrückprofile 10. Somit ist jede der Schrauben 19 dazu geeignet, sowohl die Rinnenabdeckung 17 als auch das jeweils darunter liegende Andrückprofil 10 an das zugehörige Stützprofil 2 anzuschließen, während jede der Schrauben 18 lediglich eine kraftübertragende Verbindung zwischen dem jeweiligen Andrückprofil 10 und dem zugehörigen Stützprofil 2 bewirkt.Furthermore, according to the illustration Figure 5 It is particularly easy to see that the pressure profiles 10 and the channel cover 17 are connected to the support profiles 2 by means of different screws 18, 19. In the example shown, this is solved in such a way that the channel cover 17 is connected to the support profiles 2 by only half as many connections as the pressure profiles 10. Thus, each of the screws 19 is suitable for both the channel cover 17 and the pressure profile below 10 at to connect the associated support profile 2 , while each of the screws 18 only effects a force-transmitting connection between the respective pressure profile 10 and the associated support profile 2 .
