Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rod knot as a construction element of a supporting structure.
  • the supporting structure is used to support a glass wall or a glass roof.
  • the glass wall or glass roof is composed of a large number of individual glass panes that are attached to the supporting structure at a mutual distance. Such glass walls or glass roofs are used for large-area glazing of components.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a possibility for problem-free glazing of large support structures that are curved in any desired manner in space.
  • the rod knot according to the invention is characterized in that the rods with their end regions press against one another in a force-fitting manner over at least one end face region - Lying and are held screwed together in their end areas and thus in the area of the rod knot between two plate washers.
  • the compressive forces are transmitted through surface contact between the butted bars.
  • tensile forces are transmitted via the bolt plates that are bolted together and cover the joint area on both sides. Bending forces can also be transferred well.
  • the tensile and compressive forces that arise when a bending moment is broken up in the above-mentioned manner in the rod knot either - when tensile forces occur - through one or the other plate washer or - when occurrences of
  • Compressive forces - are transmitted through the end face areas of the abutting plurality of rods.
  • the truss structure can also be designed so that the bar nodes enclose triangular surfaces. Then triangular glass panes can be used in the glazing in their base area. There is always a rod of the supporting structure under each free edge of the glass pane. This allows any curved support structures to be designed and glazed. According to the respective requirements, the angles between adjacent bars are preferably greater than zero degrees and less than 180 degrees in the range. With such a construction, the transmitted loads can still be easily transferred to the other connected bars.
  • the end regions of the bars can meet in a node at any angle.
  • the nodes of a supporting structure will therefore often not be structurally identical to one another.
  • the manufacturing requirements for the design of the components present at a node are therefore extremely high. This effort can only be managed practically with computer-aided design work.
  • These grid lines or system lines then meet at a point of each node. The node is then constructed "downwards" from this theoretical node.
  • the plate washers may be sunk into the rod ends to such an extent that there is always a predetermined distance between them. Since the plate washers also have a constant thickness and configuration in each node, comparable calculation requirements can therefore be used for all nodes.
  • the glazing for such a supporting structure can consist of a single pane or of a single or insulating glass pane comprising several panes.
  • the glass panes can also be replaced by non-transparent plates.
  • Glazing has proven to be a structurally simple and technically fully satisfactory solution, in which a cover plate additionally acting from the outside is pressed onto the upper link plate. The edges of the glass pane are thus pressed in between two panes in the area of the nodes.
  • One of the disks is the cover disk which is present when the knot is constructed.
  • the other pane is also present on the outside of the glazing. This additional disk can be fastened in a structurally simple manner to the outer link disk by means of a screw connection.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a rod knot according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a partially sectioned side view of the rod knot according to FIGS. 1 and
  • Fig. 3 is a partially sectioned side view of a rod node provided with glazing.
  • rod node 10 shown in FIG. 1.
  • the bars are part of a supporting structure.
  • the nodes can then be present within the supporting structure in such a way that the bars connecting the nodes frame triangular surfaces. These surfaces can also be square, and thus, for example, trapezoidal surfaces.
  • Each of the rods 12 to 18 consists of a rectangular profile of 40 mm (millimeters) in width 13 and 60 mm in height 15 in the present example.
  • the two side surfaces 24, 26 taper towards one another in the respective end region 28 of the rod in question.
  • Each rod 12 to 22 thus has two tapered, oblique end face regions 30, 32.
  • Adjacent rods, for example rods 18 and 16, lie flat against one another with their adjacent end face regions 30, 32. This applies to all members and all end face areas of the various members in a member node. In this way, compressive forces can be created through contact via the End face regions 30, 32 are transferred to adjacent rods of a rod node 10.
  • the end regions 28 of the rods 12 to 22 have a rod height 17, which is reduced in comparison to the rest of the rod region, of 40 mm in the example, within the rod node 10.
  • a cover plate 34 and 36 protrude from above and below into the two tapered height regions 19, 21 formed thereby. These two cover plates 34, 36 are held together by a threaded bolt 40 in the region of each end region 28 of the butted rods .
  • the threaded bolts can be pretensioned.
  • the heads 42 of the bolts 40 are sunk in the upper cover plate 34.
  • the bolt 40 protrudes from the bottom of the lower cover plate 36.
  • a nut 46 is screwed onto the external thread 44 visible there. This nut 46 lies firmly against the cover plate 36 via a plate 48.
  • the external thread 44 is present on the threaded bolt 40 in such a way that it ends within the lower cover plate 36 and does not engage in the region of the end face regions 30, 32.
  • the cover plates 34, 36 are inserted so precisely in the two tapered height ranges 19, 21 that a transfer of compressive forces is also possible in these two height ranges.
  • a cross-section comparable to the un-weakened rod cross-section is therefore also available in the rod region 28 of each rod, which is weakened in terms of rods.
  • the recessed arrangement of the cover plate 34 in particular in the rods and the recessed arrangement of the screw heads 42 in the cover plates 34 make it possible to practically allow the height of the upper side of the rods to pass through in the region of a knot 10.
  • Glazing 56 lies on the rod node 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • this glazing consists of insulating glazing 56, which is composed of a lower pane 58 and an upper pane 60 spaced apart therefrom in the usual way.
  • This glazing 56 rests on sealing profiles 62, 64. These sealing profiles 62, 64 cover the upper sides of the bars 12 to 22 and encompass the upper two longitudinal edges of the bars with downwardly projecting tabs 66, 68.
  • the sealing profiles 62, 64 have a web 70 projecting centrally in the upward direction Web 70 protrudes upwards between the end or side surfaces of the glazing 56.
  • a sealant 72 sits on the web 70 from above, which in the plane of the upper pane 60 represents a watertight connection between the upper panes 60.
  • the glazing 56 and thus the upper pane 60 are covered from above by a silicone pane 74.
  • An outer disk 76 rests on this disk 74 from above.
  • the disks 74, 76 have a central recess through which a screw 78 extends from the outside and is screwed into a central internal thread 52 of the upper cover disk 34.
  • the screw 78 does not touch the end regions 28 of the bars that meet in the bar knot 10.
  • This screw 78 is e.g. covered by a cap nut 80.
  • a sealing compound 82 surrounding the outer pane 76 represents a watertight connection between the outer pane 76 and the upper panes 60 of the glazing 56 in the area of the knot 10.
  • This construction of the rod knot 10 allows a considerable transfer of tensile, compressive and moment forces.
  • the Glazing 56 rests freely on the rod knot.
  • the bending stiffness of the rod nodes is very high at around 60 percent of the stiffness of the rods used.
  • rods with a width of only 40 mm can be used for the first time. This gives the supporting structure a very slim appearance.
  • any curved glazing surfaces can be formed.
  • the respective individual glazing panes are flat. Due to the rods meeting in a rod node with different orientations, the end face regions 30, 32 of the individual rods are not necessarily aligned at right angles to the upper or lower side of the rod in question. In general, each rod will have end face regions 30, 32 which differ in their angular orientation from the corresponding end face regions of adjacent rods.
