In some embodiments, the first panel has a tongue and the second panel has a groove, and the tongue and the groove are used to couple the first panel and the second panel together. In some embodiments, the tongue and the groove are coupled with a latch mounted to the tongue of the first panel and a latch receiver mounted to the groove of the second panel. The first panel and the second panel may be formed by molding the expanded polystyrene. The problem with this panel is that the joint is not through the wooden structure, so the joint formed is weak and punctual, generating fragile or weak points within the structure due to the high stress concentrations at the joining points. In addition, it has no horizontal structure or lateral bracing of wood which leaves the structure exposed to collapse due to buckling.
- While the present utility model has the joint of panels through the wooden structure and/or WPC delivering rigidity and load support at the joint of these, which generates a horizontal, vertical and lateral diagonal structure to withstand earthquake loads of at least 6° Ritcher, in addition, this joint allows a very easy, fast and reversible assembly or joint, by interweaving with each other continuously at any point of the vertical, to form a vertical structural pillar and contemplates a corner solution compatible with the joining system, the foregoing, due to the optimal integrity of materials in its manufacture, which facilitates construction times.
- Another prior art document is U.S. Pat. No. 5,060,446 A, which discloses an insulating panel having at least one pair of opposing vertical sides defining opposing vertical interfaces for connection to other similar insulating panels adjacent thereto. One of the opposing vertical interfaces includes a tongue and groove interlock consisting of at least three rows of aligned tongues and grooves, the three rows including the first, second and third rows adjacent to one another, the second row extending between the first and third rows, the tongues and grooves being aligned of each of the rows staggered with respect to the tongues and grooves of each adjacent row. Therefore, this document describes an optional horizontal wooden structure, and it is placed outside the plate, that is, the expanded polystyrene must be drilled to insert it, which generates insulation losses and the joint between panels is through the EPS, which does not deliver a structural strength in said joint. In contrast, the present utility model, the horizontal woods of the panel structure are linked with the vertical ones prior to the injection of the polystyrene, which avoids thermal bridges between wood and EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) and makes a more resistant structure, where by joining two or more panels the P-shaped joining means with a projection forming a base, achieving a “C” shape to improve the structural strength throughout the joint, they achieve that the panels have rigidity and support loads in the same joint. In addition, it contemplates a corner solution compatible with the joint system and due to the optimal integrity of manufacturing materials, it facilitates construction times.
- It should be mentioned that a thermal bridge corresponds to the leaks of air, noise, humidity, dust, among others in the joints, the present utility model avoids thermal bridges due to the overlaps of the expanded polystyrene layers, their configuration and specific manufacture.
- On the other hand, there is the patent application US2011/0173911A1 which describes a building panel structure, which uses composite building sections to form a structure which is a building panel composed of a core and a coating applied on the core. The core consists of a frame and one or more insulating structural blocks. The insulating structural blocks may be encapsulated polystyrene (EPS) foam blocks. It further describes a method of forming a building panel structure including forming a core using a frame and one or more blocks. That is, the wooden structure is assembled apart from the block, is covered with polystyrene panels and subsequently receives a final coating, this panel has no horizontal structure or lateral bracing of wood which leaves the structure exposed to collapse due to buckling.
- While the present utility model is a panel reinforced in the factory, not reinforced on site, ready to install, with a wooden structure and/or WPC injected in expanded polystyrene by means of dry steam pressures which prevents any thermal bridge between the wood and the expanded polystyrene, and with structural strength along the entire joint. In addition, it has a horizontal, vertical and lateral diagonal structure to withstand wind and/or earthquake loads of at least 6° Ritcher and also contemplates a corner solution compatible with the joint system. Finally, we highlight that, due to the optimal and efficient integrity of the materials used in their manufacture, construction and/or assembly times are simplified and reduced.
- To overcome the problem raised, a constructive system of panels is presented, with structural rigidity that supports the loads at the joint between said panels, achieving a very easy, fast and reversible assembly or joint, by interweaving with each other continuously at any point of the vertical that, to form a vertical and totally insulated structural pillar without thermal bridges and with structural strength throughout the joint and without requiring additional pieces to form the corners, “T”-shaped or cross-shaped joint between panels from a top view, and that allows in a preferred configuration, allows it to be manufactured by extrusion, without requiring special dies, or making adjustments to the extruded product.
- The present utility model is a constructive system of panels, with structural rigidity that supports the loads at the junction between said panels, comprising: at least two panels; that each panel comprises a frame formed by: joining means (3, 3′) that are continuously interwoven with each other at any point of the vertical, to form a vertical structural pillar (2), wherein each joining means (3, 3′) comprises a square P-shaped fitting with a projection forming a base, achieving a “C” shape to improve the structural strength throughout the joint, as shown in
FIG. 6 , which simplifies and gives speed to the assembly of the panel, without requiring other elements to join them together, it is not necessary to modify, or lower or some other type of work to be able to assemble it with the next, which generates lower production and assembly cost, with greater speed and ease of work and less labor, the execution time in work is reduced by considerably, as can be seen in the graph inFIG. 7 . - In addition, it does not require additional parts to form the corners, joining in the shape of a “T” or in the shape of a cross between panels from a top view.
- Another advantage of the present panel constructive system is that it has a thermal insulation much higher than other similar elements on the market because it is built with a high density polystyrene and is injected into the wooden structure and/or WPC, which avoids thermal bridges and improves acoustic insulation. The enclosure is 100% thermal insulating. In addition, the fit or the joint between panels leaves the structure completely covered, which prevents leaks, generating energy savings by leaving the house airtight and it is possible to save fuel that is required to cool and/or heat, consequently, a more comfortable, silent house is obtained and, in addition, generates an important energy saving, to form a vertical and totally insulated structural pillar without thermal bridges and with structural resistance throughout the joint.
