Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-layer space frame panel made of bars and knots, consisting of a plurality of interconnected, annular networks that extend along a honeycomb-like basic structure, the annular networks being composed of elementary building blocks, namely cupoctahedra, octahedra and stiffened by diagonal bars Parts of the same, and furthermore the annular networks also delimit open cavities.
  • Such a multi-layer space frame panel is known from DE-OS 3 627 633. Due to the special construction, this room framework panel can be built with larger spans than was previously possible with the usual 2-layer or 3-layer room framework panels.
  • a shortcoming of this known space frame panel is, however, that it cannot easily be used as a roof structure because of the numerous large openings on its top and side walls. In the area of the openings, the knot pieces required as purlins or support points for the roof skin or side wall cladding are missing. In other words, the dimensions of these openings in the ring-shaped networks of this space frame panel are too large to be easily covered by roof skins or side wall claddings.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a multi-layer space frame panel of the type described in such a way that its outwardly open cavities on the top and the side walls are closed by means of further space frames, so that sufficient support or fastening points for one are also provided in these areas Roof skin or side wall cladding are present.
  • the above object is achieved in that the spatial truss is cut so that two-layer supplementary trusses can be used in the open spaces on the top and on the side walls of the trimmed spatial truss in such a way that on the top and the Sidewalls of the space frame panel, a grid of bars and knot pieces is available in one level.
  • These supplementary space trusses can advantageously be composed predominantly of the same elementary building blocks as the ring-shaped networks of the space truss slab. Only further tetrahedra, square prisms and half square prisms are required as further elementary components.
  • the multi-layer space frame panel has in the outermost layers on its upper side and the side walls in a grid arranged node pieces to which a roof skin or side wall cladding can be attached directly or indirectly.
  • the supplementary space trusses can only manage with two bar lengths in a ratio of 1: 2 and two angle types (45 and 60 °).
  • the spatial framework plate 10 shown in FIG. 1 has numerous annular networks which extend like a honeycomb spatially over six layers and are connected to one another, one of which is designated by the reference number 11 in FIG. 1 by way of example for all others.
  • These ring-shaped networks 11 in turn consist of elementary building blocks and each elementary building block has a number of cuboctahedra, octahedra and half-cuboctahedra stiffened by diagonal bars.
  • a space frame plate 12 with a hexagonal floor plan or a space frame plate 13 with a rectangular floor plan is "separated" from this prior art space frame plate 10 to explain the invention.
  • the space framework panel 12 is shown in full lines in FIG. 1 and the space framework panel 13 is indicated in FIG. 1 in dashed lines.
  • the side walls of the space frame panel 12 alternately have an inclination of approx. 54 ° and approx. 70 ° to the horizontal, while the space frame plate 13 with a rectangular plan along the section lines S3 vertical side walls and along the section lines S1 and S2 side walls with an inclination of approx. 54 ° and approx. 70 0 contains.
  • FIG. 6 shows the two upper layers 14 on the upper side of the space frame plate 12 with the openings 15 and 16 of the cavities, which are delimited by the annular networks 11. These cavities 15 and 16 are to be closed in such a way that a grid of rods and node pieces is present in one plane at the top of the space frame panel 12.
  • This purpose is served by two-layer supplementary trusses 1, 3 or 2 and 3, which are shown in FIGS. 6A, 6B and 6C.
  • the two-layer supplementary framework 1 or 2 can optionally be installed in the openings 15.
  • the two-layer supplementary framework 3 is intended for closing the openings 16.
  • two additional space frame structures 1 and three additional space frame structures 3 are shown in the installed state in the left half.
  • two supplementary space frameworks 2 are shown as examples in the inserted state.
  • the two-layer additional space framework 1 is composed of the following elementary building blocks from rods 6 and node pieces 7: nine tetrahedra (T), three half-octahedra (1/2 O), one octahedron (O) and three half-Cuboctahedra (1 / 2 CO).
  • the two-layer supplementary framework 2, which can be used as an alternative to the supplementary framework 1, consists of the following basic components: six half-cuboctahedra (1/2 CO) and one octahedron (O).
  • the two-layer additional space framework 3 comprises three half-octahedra (1/2 O) and four tetrahedra (T) as elementary building blocks.
  • the two-layer supplementary space trusses 1, 2 and 3 are composed predominantly of the same elementary building blocks as the ring-shaped networks 11 of the space truss panel 12.
  • a roof skin can be attached in the usual way.
  • the cavities delimited by the annular networks 11 of the spatial framework plate 12 also open on the side walls of the spatial framework plate 12 into openings 15, 16, which correspond to the openings 15, 16 at the top of the spatial framework plate, and in three openings 17.
  • the two-layer additional space frameworks 1 (FIG. 6A) or 2 (FIG. 6B) are installed, while the two-layer additional space frameworks 3 (FIG. 6C) are inserted into the openings 16.
  • the openings 17 on three sides of the space frame plate 12 are closed by rectangular, two-layer additional space frame structures 4 (FIG. 7).
  • Each additional space framework 4 is composed of a series of half-octahedra (1/2 0) and half-cuboctahedron (1/2 CO) as elementary building blocks.
  • a triangular grid and a square grid of rods 6 and knot pieces 7 are each formed in one plane on the side walls of the space frame panel 12, whereby side wall claddings (not shown) can be attached to the knot pieces 7 (in the outermost position) .
  • Fig. 8 shows the space frame panel 12 'with the closed top and side walls but without roof skin or side wall cladding.
  • the outermost layers on the upper side and the side walls of the space frame panel 12 ' have a triangular grid or a triangular grid and a square grid.
  • the space framework panel 12 "of FIG. 9 contains the supplementary space frameworks 2, 3 on the top and three side walls and the supplementary space frameworks 4 on the remaining three side walls.
  • the space framework panel 12" therefore has a hexagon on its top side and three side walls. Grid and again a square grid on the remaining three side walls.
  • FIG. 10 shows the two lowest layers of the space frame plate 12 (FIGS. 1 to 5).
  • the support edges of the space frame plate 12 ' form three-strap ties 18 made of rods 20 and knot pieces 19.
  • the three-strap ties 18 are joined to form a hexagon and are installed in the two lowest layers of the space frame plate 12' in such a way that the knot pieces 19 serving as supports are in one Level.
  • FIG. 13 shows that the openings of the cavities delimited by the annular networks 11 are open on the underside of the space frame panel 12 '.
  • the six-layer space frame panel 13 with a rectangular plan shown in FIGS. 14, 15 and in dashed lines in FIG. 1 has two vertical side walls along the cutting lines S3 and oblique side walls along the cutting lines S1 and S2 with an inclination angle of approx. 54 ° or approx. 70 ° to the horizontal.
  • the two-layer supplementary framework 4 (FIG. 7) is installed in the opening 17 of the cavities delimited by the annular networks 11 on the one side wall.
  • the two-layer supplementary framework 4 (FIG. 7) is installed in the openings 21 of the cavities delimited by the ring-shaped networks 11 on the two vertical side walls of the space frame plate 13, a two-layer supplementary space frame 5 (FIG. 16) is inserted, as shown in FIG. 17 for the left side wall of the space frame plate 13 is illustrated.
  • each of the two additional space frameworks 5 is composed of a series of elementary building blocks made up of rods 6 and node pieces 7, namely of square prisms, square prisms with diagonal rods 8 and half square prisms (FIG. 16).
  • the openings 15, 16 on the other inclined side wall of the space frame plate 13 and on the top of the space frame plate 13 can, as in the embodiment according to FIGS. 2-13, either with the two-layer supplementary space frames 1 and 3 (FIGS. 6A, 6C ) or the supplementary space frameworks 2 and 3 (Fig. 6B, 6C) are closed.
  • the six-layer space frame panel 13 ' is shown on the top and the four side walls in the closed state (without roof skin and side wall cladding). This results in a hexagon grid on the top and one side wall, and a square grid on the remaining three side walls.
  • This embodiment also has the advantage that the supplementary spatial frameworks (for example 2 and 4) are composed predominantly of the same elementary building blocks as the ring-shaped networks 11 of the spatial framework panels 13 and 13 '. Only for the additional space frameworks 3 and 5 are tetrahedra and square prisms partially required with diagonal bars 8 or half square prisms. On the top and the side walls of the space frame panel 13 ', the node pieces 7 arranged in the grid are each in one plane in the outermost position, so that a roof skin or side wall cladding can be attached to these node pieces 7 (not shown).
