Definitions
- the present invention relates to a panel connection system for connecting two panels lying at an angle to one another according to claim 1 and an arrangement with two panels and said panel connection system as well as a method for assembling the arrangement.
- Facade cladding systems with panels are known from the prior art. At the corners of the building, these panels are brought together in different ways.
- DE 203 19 664 U1 shows various embodiments of a two-part angle piece, in which case the two parts can be firmly connected to one another.
- the connecting parts of DE 203 19 664 U1 are designed in such a way that the connecting parts can be displaced relative to one another transversely to the two legs of the connecting parts.
- a disadvantage of the systems known from the prior art is the type of assembly. From a substructure on which the panels are to be mounted, all systems require a comparatively large amount of space for assembly. This is particularly disadvantageous when there is still scaffolding in front of the substructure, which is usually set up very close to the substructure for reasons of occupational safety.
- the object of the present invention is to specify a panel connection system for connecting two panels arranged at an angle to one another, which system overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
- a particularly preferred task is to specify a panel connection system which can also be installed in tight spaces.
- a panel connection system for the corner connection of two panels arranged at an angle, in particular at right angles comprises a first connection element comprising a bearing section with at least one bearing surface, with which the connection element rests directly or indirectly on one of the two panels, and a leg section protruding at an angle from the bearing section at least one first engagement structure, and a second connecting element comprising a bearing portion having at least one bearing surface with which the connecting element bears directly or indirectly on the other of the two plates, and at least one second engagement structure lying opposite the bearing surface.
- the at least one first engagement structure of the first connection element is designed for engagement with the at least one second engagement structure of the second connection element.
- the two engagement structures In an engagement position, the two engagement structures firmly engage one another mechanically in such a way that the two plates are firmly connected to one another via the engagement structures.
- the two engagement structures are designed in such a way that the two connecting elements can be connected to one another via a connecting movement along a longitudinal axis, which longitudinal axis is at an angle to the bearing surface of the first connecting element.
- connection of the two connecting elements along said longitudinal axis results in the advantage that the two panels can be connected to one another at a small distance from a substructure.
- the plates are thereby shifted in their plane and towards one another, which is particularly advantageous.
- the two plates are at an angle of 90° to one another.
- the panels lie directly on the supporting surface.
- the plates are angularly inclined to each other at an angle of 78° to 102°.
- at least one of the two plates is indirectly supported the bearing surface.
- a wedge element described below is provided for the indirect support.
- the longitudinal axis extends along a straight line.
- a straight line is understood to be a straight line in the geometric sense.
- the first engagement structure and the second engagement structure are each designed to be complementary to one another, so that the above-mentioned engagement is made possible.
- the panel connection system can be used for various applications. Particularly preferred for facade panels or interior cladding.
- the panel connection system is typically attached to the back of the panels.
- the board is preferably a fiber cement board.
- Fiber cement panels are typically made of cement and tensile fibers. Such panels are typically made by the Hatschek process.
- the plate can also be made of a different material. Examples include wood, natural slate, natural stone (e.g. granite, gneiss, quartzite, porphyry, sandstone or marble), ceramics (e.g. fine stoneware, stoneware, cotto), fibre-reinforced fine concrete (e.g. Cemfor, Rebeton), fibre-reinforced slate/rock split (e.g. cottostone ), fibre-reinforced laminates, metals (e.g. coated sheet steel, copper-titanium-zinc, aluminium, copper or chrome steel), layered composite materials (laminates e.g. Alucobond), glass or carrier boards plastered over the entire surface.
- wood natural slate
- natural stone e.g. granite, gneiss, quartzite, porphyry, sandstone or
- homogeneous, organic and inorganic materials or combinations such as fiber composite structures or layered composite structures can be used.
- the geometric dimensions, such as thickness, format, or the appearance, such as color, of the plate are independent of the fastening concept proposed here.
- the visible side can also be provided with aesthetic elements such as colors or surface structures.
- Each of the two connecting elements preferably has at least one sliding surface in the area of the engagement structures, the sliding surfaces being arranged in such a way that the two connecting elements are in contact with one another via the sliding surfaces during the connection. It therefore occurs during the connection process a sliding movement between the two connecting elements.
- the sliding surfaces provide guidance for the two fasteners.
- the two connecting elements slide towards one another via the sliding surfaces in the direction of the longitudinal axis in such a way that the engagement structures are moved relatively towards one another.
- Two engagement structures are preferably arranged per connecting element and thus form two pairs of engagement structures.
- Each pair of the engaging structures is provided by a first engaging structure and a second engaging structure.
- the arrangement of two pairs of engagement structures results in the advantage of a well-guided and, above all, permanent connection between the two connecting elements.
- a first pair of engagement structures is preferably arranged in the area of the transition from the bearing section to the leg section and a second pair of engagement structures is arranged in the area of a free end of the leg section.
- One of the engagement structures is preferably designed as a receptacle and the other of the engagement structures is designed as a tab, with the tab being able to be pushed into the receptacle along the longitudinal axis.
- the receptacle is preferably designed in such a way that the tab comes to rest essentially completely in the receptacle.
- the receptacle and/or the tab preferably has a latching element which allows mechanically firm latching of the two engaging structures that engage in one another.
- the engagement structure with the latching member is interrupted by at least one longitudinally extending slit.
- the slot has the advantage that the latching force of the latching element can be dimensioned better.
- the tab preferably engages in the receptacle essentially without play.
- One pair has said latching elements.
- the other pair has no latching elements, here the two engagement structures engage with one another without latching with one another.
- the pair of engaging structures is arranged without the latching elements in the corner area or miter area of the two panels. In this way, an exact positioning of the two panels in the area of the corner can be achieved.
- said pair of engagement structures is formed without the latching elements in such a way that the engagement structures each engage in one another against abutment.
- One of the two connecting elements preferably has a screw opening which has an opening open to the other connecting element, a screw being able to be screwed into the screw opening in such a way that the screw exerts a clamping force on the two connecting elements.
- the breakthrough extends through the sidewall surrounding the bolt hole.
- the screw opening is delimited by a wall area of the other connecting element.
- the screw is preferably a self-tapping metal screw which threads into the wall of the screw hole and said wall area.
- the bearing section preferably has at least one fastening opening, through which a fastening screw connected to the plate can be passed, such that the connecting element can be firmly connected to said plate.
- two spaced-apart fastening openings are arranged per connecting element.
- the leg section preferably has a slot for each fastening screw, which creates a passage area for the at least one fastening screw of the second connecting element when the two connecting elements are connected.
- the leg portion is supported on the bearing portion via a support portion, the support portion being disposed opposite the bearing surface and the engagement structure.
- the support section is preferably designed like a strut and counteracts a force that would cause relative bending between the leg section and the bearing section.
- the support section is particularly preferably connected with an intermediate leg to a side wall surrounding the screw opening. As a result, the stability of the first connecting element can be further increased.
- bearing surfaces are preferably designed as strip-shaped bearing surfaces.
- one of the bearing surfaces of the first connecting element and/or the second connecting element is formed with a side edge, the side edge defining a cutting line for the rear sides of the two panels.
- the side edge comes to lie in the corner area of the two panels, which means that the two panels can be precisely aligned.
- the first and the second connecting element are preferably produced from a metal profile, in particular from an aluminum profile, with the metal profile being machined by a machining process after it has been cut to length.
- An arrangement comprises at least one panel connection system according to the above and two panels, the first connection element being mounted on the back of one panel and the second connection element being mounted on the back of the other panel.
- the two plates with their connecting elements can be moved towards one another by a relative movement along the longitudinal axis, with the respective connecting structures engaging as a result.
- the two plates can preferably be brought into contact with one another via their respectively facing end faces, with the end faces being designed as miter surfaces.
- a plurality of panel connection systems are preferably arranged in each case.
- the distance between the panel connection systems mentioned can be between 20 and 100 centimeters. In the case of plates with greater rigidity, the distance can be chosen to be larger than in the case of plates with less rigidity.
- the angle between the bearing surface of the first connecting element and the bearing surface of the second connecting element is essentially 90°, such that when the connecting elements are placed directly on the respective plate, the two plates are arranged at right angles to one another.
- the panel connection system also comprises at least one wedge element, which can be arranged or is arranged on at least one of the named bearing surfaces and at least one of the rear sides of the panel in such a way that the at least one bearing surface rests indirectly via the wedge element on the rear side of the panel and that the plates are angularly inclined to each other at an angle different from a right angle.
- the wedge element has a latching section, with which the wedge element can be connected to the respective connecting element via a latching connection;
- the wedge element is made of a metal, such as aluminum, or a plastic, such as polypropylene, and/or
- a method for assembling an arrangement as described above is characterized in that in a first step the first and the second connecting element are connected to the respective plate and that in a subsequent step the two plates with the connecting elements are connected relative to one another by a connecting movement along a longitudinal axis are moved such that the at least one first engagement structure of the first connector engages the at least one second engagement structure of the second connector.
