Description

Wall assembly

The present invention relates to the field of building construction. It finds for particularly advantageous application the field of accelerated constructions or prefabricated habitats. It can also be applied to all types of architectural buildings.

STATE OF THE ART

In the field of construction, there are many types of wall assembly allowing the arrangement of the different structural elements. The assembly of these elements frequently requires the creation of angles, for example to create a corner of a structure or an angle of inclination between a ceiling and a wall. In order to create a connection between two walls, between a ceiling and a wall or even between a wall and a floor, there are many techniques specific to civil engineering and architecture.

In particular, solutions are encountered such as that presented in document WO201208801A1 allowing the elevation of two walls forming an angle. In this document, an immobile and fixed elevation profile is presented vertically in relation to the ground at the location of the edge of a 90° angle formed by two walls. Horizontal sections then cooperate successively with the elevation section in order to allow the elevation of two integral walls. The assembly of the two walls is thus carried out layer by layer and between each layer a fixing piece ensures the good holding of the profiles with the elevation profile. This technique thus discloses the realization of a corner connection between two walls comprising horizontal profiles, formed and assembled simultaneously.

This solution nevertheless has many drawbacks, such as the fact that the assembly must necessarily take place on the construction site. In addition, there is an impossibility of dismantling the first wall without dismantling the second wall.

An object of the present invention is therefore to propose a solution allowing at least two walls to be mounted and/or dismantled more easily on the site of implantation of a construction.

The other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a review of the following description and the accompanying drawings. It is understood that other benefits may be incorporated.

SUMMARY

• au moins deux parois, chaque paroi comprenant :
• un empilement comportant des profilés de base empilés les uns sur les autres, chaque profilé de base présentant une section constante selon une première direction,
• un profilé d’alignement configuré pour coopérer avec chacun des profilés de base de l’empilement de sorte à aligner les profilés de base de l’empilement, le profilé d’alignement s’étendant principalement selon une direction transversale perpendiculaire à la première direction lorsqu’il est mis en coopération avec les profilés de base;
  le système est caractérisé en ce qu’il comprend au moins un profilé de jonction conformé de sorte à s’insérer par coulissement selon la direction transversale à la fois dans le profilé d’alignement d’une première paroi et dans le profilé d’alignement d’une deuxième paroi, de manière à rendre solidaire la première paroi avec la deuxième paroi.

To achieve this objective, according to one embodiment, a system for assembling the walls of a building is provided, the system comprises:

• at least two walls, each wall comprising:
• a stack comprising base sections stacked on top of each other, each base section having a constant section in a first direction,
• an alignment profile configured to cooperate with each of the base profiles of the stack so as to align the base profiles of the stack, the alignment profile extending mainly in a transverse direction perpendicular to the first direction when 'it is put in cooperation with the basic profiles;
  the system is characterized in that it comprises at least one junction profile shaped so as to be inserted by sliding in the transverse direction both in the alignment profile of a first wall and in the alignment profile of a second wall, so as to make the first wall integral with the second wall.

Thus, the proposed technical solution presents a simplified configuration requiring only a reduced number of construction elements. Only two alignment profiles allow the cooperation between two walls at a predetermined angle.

This solution advantageously makes it possible to perfect the alignment of the base profiles stacked on top of each other and also allows a more rigid assembly of two walls together. The connection is made by simply sliding a junction profile.

Thus, the present invention makes it possible to avoid securing base sections that are too heavy on the installation site and allows pre-assembly of lighter walls in the workshop and then easier transport to the site.

As a result, the technical solution allows at least two walls to be assembled and/or disassembled more easily on the construction site.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Before starting a detailed review of embodiments of the invention, optional characteristics are set out below which may possibly be used in combination or alternatively:

According to one example, in each stack, the alignment section cooperates with at least three base sections.

According to one example, the base profiles, the alignment profiles and the junction profile each form a monolithic part and are made of the same thermoplastic or thermosetting material.

This makes it possible to reduce the weight of the system and to homogenize the manufacturing device. Indeed, if all the elements of the assembly system come from the same manufacturing process with the same material, it is necessary to note an optimization of the machine costs as well as the material costs. Advantageously, it will be a composite material comprising a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin. Preferably the material will be recyclable.

According to one example, the base profile comprises an interior cavity 105 which extends mainly along the first direction, the interior cavity preferably having a constant section along the first direction.

In addition to reducing the weight of each section, a tubular configuration advantageously allowing the passage of connection elements such as electric cables or hydraulic conduits.

According to one example, once the first and second stacks have been made integral, the dimensions, taken in the transverse direction, of the first stack, of the second stack, of the alignment profiles and of the junction profile are equal or differ by less than 5% .

According to one example, at least one base profile comprises a protective wing so that, along a plane parallel simultaneously to the first direction and to the transverse direction, the alignment profile and the junction profile are completely hidden by the protective wing.

According to one example, the system comprises a first alignment profile and a second alignment profile and in which the first alignment profile and the second alignment profile are configured to be positioned in contact with each other and to define, when they are in contact, at least one cooperation cavity, which extends mainly in the transverse direction.

According to one example, the cooperation cavity extends from a first end to a second end of at least one of the first alignment profile and the second alignment profile, the cooperation cavity opens out at each of the first and second ends.

According to one example, the cooperation cavity has a closed section along a section perpendicular to the transverse direction.

According to one example, the junction profile extends mainly in the transverse direction, the junction profile having, in a plane perpendicular to the transverse direction, a constant section.

According to one example, the alignment profile of a first wall and the alignment profile of a second wall are configured to be positioned opposite each other and to define, when they are opposite, at least two cooperation cavities, each cooperation cavity extending mainly in the transverse direction z, each cooperation cavity preferably being distant from each other, the system also comprising at least two junction profiles, preferably identical, each junction profiles being inserted by sliding into one of the at least two cooperation cavities.

According to one example, the alignment profile extends in a transverse direction and comprises a constant section and comprises at least one alignment cavity extending in the transverse direction.

According to one example, the junction profile comprises at least one junction lug having at least one lug surface, the junction lug being inserted by sliding within the cooperation cavity and the at least one surface of lug being configured so as to be able to be in contact with at least one face of the cooperation cavity in order to block all the degrees of freedom except for that allowing translation in the transverse direction z, between on the one hand the junction profile and the alignment profile.

According to one example, the system comprises at least a first junction profile and at least a second junction profile, the first and the second junction profile being configured so as to allow a relative translation of the first junction profile with respect to the second profile of junction.

According to one example, no bolting element is used.

According to one example, the sliding insertion step is preceded by a step of positioning the first stack relative to the second stack so as to approach, preferably to bring into contact, the alignment profiles intended to cooperate with said same junction profile.

According to one example, at least one of the base profile, the alignment profile and the junction profile is obtained by pultrusion or extrusion, preferably all the profiles are obtained by pultrusion or by extrusion.

According to one example, the stacking step includes a step of filling the base sections with an insulating element.

According to one example, the walls form all or part of one of: a wall of the building, a floor of the building, a ceiling of the building, a roof of the building.

• le passage de gaines et de câbles à travers au moins une cavité intérieure,
• l’application d’un revêtement sur au moins un des deux flancs latéraux,
• l’insertion d’une porte ou d’une fenêtre à travers au moins une ouverture.

According to one example, the walls are configured so as to allow at least and preferably in combination:

• the passage of sheaths and cables through at least one interior cavity,
• the application of a coating on at least one of the two lateral flanks,
• inserting a door or window through at least one opening.

According to one example, the stacking step includes a step of filling the base sections with an insulating element.

It is specified that in the context of the present invention, the terms “module” and “walls” may be considered to be similar.

It is specified that in the context of the present invention, the term "groove" as a relatively narrow clearance extending at least partially between two reliefs and along the main direction of extension of the profile.

The term "rib" means a protruding part extending at least partially between two ribs and along the main direction of extension of the profile.

In the following description, unless otherwise specified, when referring to absolute position qualifiers, such as "front", "rear", "up", "down", "left", "right" ,…etc., or relative, such as the terms "above", "below", "upper", "lower", etc., or to qualifiers of orientation, such as the terms "horizontal", "vertical" , "lateral", etc., reference is made to the orientation of the corresponding figures, it being understood that, in practice, the devices and assemblies described may be oriented differently.

Similarly when it is indicated that an element is located in line with another element, this means that these two elements are located on the same line perpendicular to the main plane in which one face of the substrate mainly extends, it is that is to say on the same line oriented vertically in the figures.

In the rest of the description, the term “on” does not necessarily mean “directly on”. Thus, when it is indicated that a part or a second profile rests "on" a first profile, this does not mean that the profiles are necessarily in direct contact with each other. These profiles, for example, can either be in direct contact or be supported one on the other via one or more other parts.

• positionnées à distances l’une de l’autre, et/ou
• mobiles l’une par rapport à l’autre et/ou
• solidaires l’une de l’autre en étant fixées par des éléments rapportés, cette fixation étant démontable ou non.
• Une pièce unitaire monobloc ne peut donc pas être constituée de deux pièces distinctes.

In the present patent application, when it is indicated that two parts are distinct or are distant, this means that these parts are separate. They are :

• positioned at a distance from each other, and/or
• movable relative to each other and/or
• secured to one another by being fixed by inserts, this fixing being removable or not.
• A unitary one-piece part cannot therefore be made up of two separate parts.

In the present patent application, the term "united" used to qualify the connection between two parts means that the two parts are linked/fixed with respect to each other, according to all the degrees of freedom, except if is explicitly specified differently. For example, if it is indicated that two parts are integral in translation along a first direction x1, this means that the parts can be movable relative to each other except along the first direction x1. In other words, if we move a piece in the first direction x2, the other piece performs the same movement.

In the present patent application, the term “identical” used to qualify two dimensions, for example, does not mean two dimensions that are exactly equal but that can admit a difference of plus or minus 10%, preferably of plus or minus 5%.

OVERALL FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE TWO WALL ASSEMBLY

A technical solution is proposed to manufacture and then pre-assemble construction elements in the workshop in order to allow accelerated assembly on an installation site, a building or an edifice.

The technical solution is a system comprising a set of profiled elements which, when stacked together, generate a wall 2, 2'. Once at least two walls are made, the system comprises another set of profiled elements allowing the attachment of at least two walls 2, 2 'between them.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the walls comprise a stack of base sections 100. The sections extend along a first direction x1, x2 and are arranged on top of each other along a transverse direction z in order to form a portion of wall 2.

As shown in and according to one example, the system comprises two starting sections 110, configured so as to form an angle, preferably an angle of 90°, in order to allow guidance on the ground of two walls 2.2' to be assembled afterwards.

ALIGNMENT / REINFORCEMENT

As shown in and according to one example, two base sections 100 are stacked in order to form a stack 10. The stack 10 is configured so as to be able to cooperate with an alignment section 20, 20' in order to advantageously perfect the alignment of the two sections base 100 and to form a wall 2, 2'. Advantageously, the cooperation between the stack 10 and the alignment profile 20, 20' makes it possible to structurally reinforce the wall 2,2'.

According to an example and as illustrated in , the alignment profile 20, 20' has an alignment face 201 configured to be able to be placed in contact with one end of each of the base profiles 100, glue preferably being placed between the alignment face 201 and the end of each of the base profiles 100.

Preferably glue is placed and distributed on the contact surfaces between the base profiles 100 and the alignment profiles.

According to one example, the alignment profile 20, 20' is glued to each of the base profiles 100 of the stack 10, 10'.

Preferably, the alignment profile 20,20' is configured so that it can be in contact with all the base profiles 100 of the stack 10.

According to one example, the wall 2, 2' comprises at least one base profile 100, preferably at least two base profiles 100, preferably at least three base profiles 100.

According to one example, the base sections 100 forming the wall 2.2' are all identical and extend along the transverse direction z by a section height Z _100, preferably Z ₁₀₀ is between 135 mm (10 ^{- 3} meters ) and 1000m. According to an example Z ₁₀₀ can take one of the following values 135, 150, 250, 500, 1000mm. Z ₁₀₀ may change in size depending on the evolution of the construction system and the nature of the materials.

The base profile 100 comprises an interior cavity 105 extending along the first direction x1, x2 and two reliefs 101a, 101b rising above the cavity 105. Two grooves 102a, 102b take shape below the cavity interior 105. The two reliefs 101a, 101b are advantageously in line with the two grooves 102a, 102b so that a second base profile 100 can be assembled with the first base profile 100 in order to form a wall portion 2, 2'. The interior cavity 105 is delimited by an upper wall 105a and a lower wall 105b as well as two lateral sides 106a, 106b each extending from the upper wall 105a to the lower wall 105b.
