Металлическая панель

Номер: RU0000172291U1

Полезная модель относится к строительству, в частности к несущим конструкциям.Техническим результатом заявляемой полезной модели является повышение технологичности конструкции панели.Технический результат заявляемой полезной модели достигается за счет того, что в несущей панели, содержащей каркас в виде соединенных элементов жесткости, выполненных из фасонного проката, и прикрепленную к ним наружную обшивку из плоского проката, выполненную в виде листа, в качестве фасонного проката используется швеллер с усиленными местами примыкания сторон, внутренние продольные элементы жесткости торцами прикреплены к поперечным краевым элементам жесткости, а отверстия для крепления опор технологического фальшпола выполнены в продольных элементах жесткости по всей длине.Заявляемая полезная модель представляет из себя пространственную конструкцию из металла, образованную каркасом 1 и прикрепленным к нему листом 2. В продольных элементах жесткости, входящих в состав каркаса, выполнены отверстия 3 для крепления опор технологического фальшпола с шагом, равным ширине плиты фальшпола. Каркас выполняется из фасонного проката с усиленными местами примыкания сторон, например, из У-образного швеллера. Дополнительно существует возможность изготовления расположенных по периметру элементов каркаса из металлического уголка, что позволяет уменьшить массу конструкции. При сборке каркаса к краевым поперечным элементам жесткости прикрепляют продольные элементы жесткости, расположенные друг от друга на расстоянии, равном ширине плиты фальшпола. Это обеспечивает увеличенную несущую способность панели. Кроме того, такая конструкционная особенность дополнительно позволяет уменьшить количество сборочных операций. К собранному каркасу с одной стороны прикрепляется металлический лист. При необходимости в краевых элементах жесткости выполняются технологические отверстия для крепления других строительных элементов. Продольное расположение внутренних элементов жесткости позволяет уменьшить количество сварных ...

Строительная сэндвич-панель с защитой утеплителя от грызунов и насекомых

Номер: RU0000191615U1

Полезная модель относится к конструкциям панелей типа «сэндвич» и может быть использована в качестве ограждающих конструкций зданий и сооружений. Техническим результатом является повышение степени защиты среднего теплоизоляционного слоя строительной сэндвич-панели от грызунов и насекомых. Указанный технический результат достигается тем, что сэндвич-панель представляет собой трехслойную конструкцию, содержащую обшивки из параллельно расположенных металлических листов, имеющих в двух противоположно расположенных торцевых частях панели замковые элементы, средним теплоизоляционным слоем-утеплителем и средство защиты среднего теплоизоляционного слоя от грызунов и насекомых. Средство защиты среднего теплоизоляционного слоя от грызунов и насекомых выполнено в виде защитных теплоизоляционных слоев, состоящих из одного или нескольких видов материала, окаймляющих средний теплоизоляционный слой с двух прилегающих к замковой части торцевых сторон, а материалы, из которых изготовлены защитные теплоизоляционные слои, содержат компоненты, раздражающие кожу грызунов и/или органолептически непривлекательные и вызывающие гибель грызунов; высота (Н) защитных слоев равна толщине (В) среднего теплоизоляционного слоя, а толщина (Т) защитных слоев имеет размер больший или равный их высоте (Н). Причем сэндвич-панель дополнительно снабжена металлическими фасонными защитными пластинами, выполненными в сечении выпукло-вогнутыми и имеющими элементы их крепления к металлическим обшивкам панелей для закрывания стыков между противоположно расположенными сторонами сэндвич-панелей, не содержащими замковые элементы. 5 ил.

Manufacture of Lattice Truss Structures from Monolithic Materials

Номер: US20120285114A1

Methods and systems to manufacture lattice-based sandwich structures from monolithic material eliminate the bonding process which is conventionally used to join lattice-based truss cores to facesheets to form sandwich structures. The bonded interface is a key mode of failure for sandwich structures which are subjected to shear or bending loads because the nodes transfer forces from the facesheets to the core members while the topology for a given core relative density dictates the load carrying capacity (assuming adequate node-bond strength exists). In one aspect, a core and related structures provide very low density, good crush resistance and high in-plane shear resistance. Another aspect of the truss structures may include sandwich panel cores and lattice truss topology that may be designed to efficiently support panel bending loads while maintaining an open topology that facilitates multifunctional applications.

A gypsum board with multiple tapered edges has a flat, rectangular main flat body with four tapered edges. The main flat body is a gypsum core sandwiched between two paper sheets. The main flat body may be of any appropriate size, including 4 feet by 4 feet or other sizes. In a method for manufacturing the gypsum board with multiple tapered edges, a quantity of gypsum slurry is fed between two continuous paper sheets with a conveyor system to make a continuous gypsum sheet and longitudinal edges of the continuous gypsum sheet are tapered. The gypsum slurry is partially dried, and then the continuous gypsum sheet is transversely compressed between an upper bracket and a lower bracket to form a transverse tapered impression. The continuous gypsum sheet is cut at the tapered impression, and the transverse tapered edges are enclosed with finishing paper.

In one aspect, a method of making a gypsum panel includes depositing an aqueous liquid containing a wetting agent onto a fiberglass mat, such that the aqueous liquid penetrates an entire thickness of the fiberglass mat, and depositing a gypsum slurry onto the fiberglass mat onto which the aqueous liquid has been deposited, such that the gypsum slurry penetrates at least a portion of the fiberglass mat. In another aspect, a method of making a gypsum panel includes depositing an aqueous liquid containing a wetting agent onto a fiberglass mat, and depositing a gypsum slurry onto the fiberglass mat onto which the aqueous liquid has been deposited, prior to drying of the aqueous liquid, such that the gypsum slurry penetrates at least a portion of the fiberglass mat. 1. A method of making a gypsum panel , comprising:depositing an aqueous liquid comprising a wetting agent onto a first surface of a first fiberglass mat, such that the aqueous liquid penetrates an entire thickness of the fiberglass mat;depositing a gypsum slurry onto the first surface of the first fiberglass mat onto which the aqueous liquid has been deposited, such that the gypsum slurry penetrates at least a portion of the first fiberglass mat; andallowing the gypsum slurry to set to form a gypsum core.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wetting agent is a surfactant.3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the surfactant is selected from a group consisting of multifunctional agents based on acetylenic chemistry claim 2 , ethoxylated low-foam agents claim 2 , siloxane-based surfactants claim 2 , and nonionic superwetting and coalescing surfactants.4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the surfactant is present in the aqueous liquid in an amount of about 0.05 percent to about 1 percent claim 2 , by weight of the liquid.5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the surfactant has a boiling point of ...
