Description

La présente invention a trait à un perfectionnement aux plaques en polycarbonate obtenues par extrusion et dont le profil comporte, généralement, deux lames parallèles formant les deux faces de la plaque, ces lames étant réunies selon un motif périodique, par des entretoises perpendiculaires aux lames et/ou obliques. De telles plaques sont notamment destinées à être utilisées pour réaliser des couvertures ou des cloisons.The present invention relates to an improvement to polycarbonate sheets obtained by extrusion and the profile usually has two parallel blades forming the two faces of the plate, these blades being joined in a periodic pattern, by spacers perpendicular to the blades and / or oblique. Such plates are especially intended to be used for make covers or partitions.

De façon classique, les plaques de polycarbonate de ce genre présentaient deux lames formant les faces supérieure, respectivement inférieure de la plaque, réunies à intervalle régulier, par des entretoises perpendiculaires aux lames délimitant, dans les plaques, des alvéoles de forme carrée ou rectangulaire, s'étendant longitudinalement, c'est-à-dire dans la direction d'extrusion, voir par example DE-U-9 408 574. Afin d'augmenter l'inertie, et par conséquent la résistance à la flexion, on a déjà prévu de réaliser de telles plaques comportant, au lieu d'entretoises perpendiculaires aux lames, des entretoises obliques en zigzag. On a également déjà combiné ces deux profils en prévoyant d'une part des entretoises perpendiculaires et, entre deux entretoises perpendiculaires, chaque fois une entretoise oblique, les différentes entretoises obliques ayant des directions alternées, en zigzag. EP-A-0 530 545 décrit une telle structure.Conventionally, the polycarbonate sheets of this kind presented two blades forming the upper faces, respectively lower of the plate, joined to regular interval, by perpendicular spacers with the blades delimiting, in the plates, alveoli of square or rectangular shape, extending longitudinally, i.e. in the direction extrusion, see for example DE-U-9 408 574. In order to increase the inertia, and consequently flexural strength, we have already planned to achieve such plates comprising, instead of spacers perpendicular to the blades, oblique spacers in zigzag. We have also already combined these two profiles in providing on the one hand perpendicular spacers and, between two perpendicular spacers, each time a oblique spacer, the different oblique spacers having alternate directions, zigzagging. EP-A-0 530 545 describes such a structure.

On connait également des plaques de polycarbonate à trois lames, à savoir deux lames extrêmes et une lame intermédiaire plus mince, réunies par des entretoises perpendiculaires.Polycarbonate sheets are also known to three blades, namely two extreme blades and one blade thinner middle, joined by spacers perpendicular.

Outre la résistance à la flexion, il est demandé aux plaques de polycarbonate, en raison de leur usage, d'être aussi transparentes que possible et de présenter un coefficient d'isolation thermique relativement élevé. D'un autre côté, ces plaques doivent être légères, à la fois pour des raisons d'économie de matière et pour des raisons liées à leurs utilisations. On comprend que ces différentes exigences sont contradictoires, la transparence diminuant notablement lorsque le poids et la complexité de la structure augmentent, alors que la rigidité et l'inertie tendent à croítre avec l'augmentation du poids et la complexité des structures, les propriétés mécaniques des polycarbonates empêchant, en outre, que l'on puisse transposer au domaine de plaques réalisées en un tel matériau, des formes et des structures pouvant exister dans le cadre d'autres matériaux.In addition to the flexural strength, polycarbonate sheets, due to their use, to be as transparent as possible and to present a relatively high thermal insulation coefficient. On the other side, these plates should be light, both for reasons of economy of matter and for reasons related to their uses. We understand that these different requirements are contradictory, transparency decreases notably when the weight and complexity of the structure increases, while rigidity and inertia tend to grow with increasing weight and complexity of the structures, the mechanical properties of polycarbonates preventing, moreover, that one can transpose to the area of plates made in such material, shapes and structures that may exist in other materials.

Or, il est hautement désirable d'améliorer de façon notable le coefficient d'iolation thermique des plaques de polycarbonate, et ceci sans diminuer de façon sensible leur transparence, et en maintenant, si possible, leur résistance, notamment la résistance à la flexion et l'inertie.Now, it is highly desirable to improve in a way notable the coefficient of thermal insulation of the plates of polycarbonate, and this without significantly reducing their transparency, and maintaining, if possible, their strength, including flexural strength and inertia.

L'invention se propose de fournir un perfectionnement permettant d'atteindre ces objectifs.The invention proposes to provide an improvement to achieve these goals.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir une telle plaque dont le poids au m2, c'est-à-dire le grammage, n'est que peu ou pas augmenté par rapport aux plaques traditionnelles.Another object of the invention is to provide such a plate whose weight per m 2 , that is to say the grammage, is only slightly or not increased compared to traditional plates.

L'invention a pour objet une plaque en polycarbonate transparent obtenue par extrusion et présentant, sur ses deux faces externes, deux lames externes réunies par des entretoises s'étendant perpendiculairement auxdites lames, selon un motif périodique, et comportant des entretoises obliques, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte, auprès de l'une au moins, desdites lames externes, une autre lame, interne, qui lui est parallèle et écartée d'une distance faible par rapport à l'épaisseur de la plaque, de façon à former, entre ladite lame externe et ladite lame interne, un alvéole rectangulaire de faible hauteur, et, de l'autre côté de ladite lame interne, un volume de section rectangulaire ou carrée, entre lesdites lames internes ou entre ladite lame interne et la seconde lame externe, divisé en deux par une lame oblique s'étendant sensiblement selon une diagonale dudit volume rectangulaire ou carré. The subject of the invention is a polycarbonate plate transparent obtained by extrusion and having, on its two external faces, two external blades joined by spacers extending perpendicular to said blades, according to a periodic pattern, and comprising spacers oblique, characterized in that it comprises, with at least one of said external blades, another blade, internal, which is parallel to it and separated by a distance small compared to the thickness of the plate, so that form, between said outer blade and said inner blade, a rectangular cell of low height, and, on the other side of said internal blade, a section volume rectangular or square, between said internal blades or between said inner blade and the second outer blade, divided in two by an oblique blade extending substantially along a diagonal of said rectangular or square volume.

Dans une forme de réalisation particulièrement préférée, il est prévu une telle lame interne pour chacune des deux lames externes, de sorte que le motif de la plaque comporte entre deux alvéoles rectangulaires de faible hauteur, ledit volume carré ou rectangulaire muni de son entretoise en diagonale.In a particularly embodiment preferred, there is provided such an internal blade for each of the two outer blades, so that the pattern of the plate between two rectangular cells of low height, said square or rectangular volume provided with its diagonal spacer.

Ainsi, la plaque selon l'invention comporte au moins trois lames parallèles. et de préférence quatre lames parallèles, ainsi qu'une succession d'entretoises obliques, s'étendant entre deux coins opposés des volumes carrés ou rectangulaires internes, ce qui permet d'obtenir une structure nettement plus solide et qui est pratiquement tout aussi transparente que les plaques déjà connues, seules les zones correspondant aux entretoises perpendiculaires présentant des discontinuités de transparence. De plus le coefficient de transmissibilité thermique est diminué.Thus, the plate according to the invention comprises at least three parallel blades. and preferably four blades parallel, as well as a succession of oblique spacers, extending between two opposite corners of the square volumes or internal rectangles, which provides a significantly stronger structure which is practically just as transparent as the plates already known, only the zones corresponding to the spacers perpendiculars with discontinuities of transparency. In addition the transmissibility coefficient thermal is decreased.

Par faible distance, on entend une distance qui est au plus, égale à un tiers de l'épaisseur totale de la plaque et, de préférence, inférieure ou égale à un quart de ladite épaisseur.By short distance is meant a distance which is at plus, equal to a third of the total thickness of the plate and preferably less than or equal to a quarter of said thickness.

Par s'étendant sensiblement selon une diagonale, on entend une lame oblique s'étendant selon la diagonale du volume de section rectangulaire ou carrée ou selon une ligne proche de la diagonale qui n'aboutit pas exactement aux points de jonction des lames internes et des entretoises perpendiculaires.By extending substantially along a diagonal, we hear an oblique blade extending along the diagonal the volume of rectangular or square section or according to a line close to the diagonal which does not end exactly at the junction points of the internal blades and spacers perpendicular.

On peut avantageusement donner aux lames intermédiaires une épaisseur très faible, du fait qu'elles se trouvent protégées par les lames externes alors qu'on diminue la longueur des entretoises obliques de sorte que l'on peut, grâce à l'invention, obtenir par rapport aux plaques classiques, une augmentation de la rigidité et de la résistance sans augmentation du grammage.We can advantageously give to the intermediate blades a very small thickness, because they are protected by external blades while reducing the length of the oblique struts so that we can, thanks to the invention, obtain with respect to the plates classic, increased rigidity and resistance without increasing the grammage.

De préférence, l'épaisseur de la plaque varie entre 16 et 40 mm et le pas des motifs varie également entre 16 et 40 mm. De façon avantageuse, le grammage est alors prévu pour varier environ entre 2,5 et 5 kg/mm2. Preferably, the thickness of the plate varies between 16 and 40 mm and the pitch of the patterns also varies between 16 and 40 mm. Advantageously, the grammage is then expected to vary approximately between 2.5 and 5 kg / mm 2 .

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaítront à la lecture de la description suivante, faite à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et se référant au dessin annexé, dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue en section d'un motif d'une plaque selon une première forme de réalisation de l'invention;
  • La figure 2 représente une vue en section d'un motif d'une plaque selon une deuxième forme de réalisation de l'invention.
Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear on reading the following description, given by way of nonlimiting example, and referring to the appended drawing, in which:
  • Figure 1 shows a sectional view of a pattern of a plate according to a first embodiment of the invention;
  • 2 shows a sectional view of a pattern of a plate according to a second embodiment of the invention.

On se réfère à la figure 1.We refer to figure 1.

La plaque représentée est réalisée en polycarbonate, par exemple polycarbonate de type 1143 FBL vendu par la société allemande BAYER.The plate shown is made of polycarbonate, for example polycarbonate type 1143 FBL sold by the German company BAYER.

Elle comporte deux lames externes 1,2 reliées à intervalle régulier, déterminant le motif, par des entretoises rectilignes 3.It has two external blades 1,2 connected to regular interval, determining the reason, by straight spacers 3.

A une faible distance de chacune des lames 1,2, s'étend, parallèlement auxdites lames, chaque fois une lame intermédiaire 4,5, chaque lame intermédiaire étant régulièrement entrecoupée par les entretoises 3.At a small distance from each of the blades 1,2, extends, parallel to said blades, each time a blade 4.5 intermediate, each intermediate blade being regularly interspersed with spacers 3.

L'ensemble des lames 1, 2, 4, 5 et des entretoises perpendiculaires 3, délimite, pour chaque motif, deux alvéoles extrêmes rectangulaires de faible hauteur 6, 7 et un volume géométriquement rectangulaire et de hauteur importante s'étendant entre les deux lames internes 4, 5. A l'intérieur de chaque volume, s'étend une entretoise oblique 8, rejoignant alternativement les points de jonction des lames 4, 5 et des entretoises 3. De préférence ces entretoises 8 sont disposées en zigzag. Les entretoises 8 délimitent ainsi des alvéoles triangulaires 9, 10.All blades 1, 2, 4, 5 and spacers perpendiculars 3, delimits, for each pattern, two low rectangular extreme cells 6, 7 and a geometrically rectangular volume and height important extending between the two internal blades 4, 5. A the interior of each volume, extends a spacer oblique 8, alternately joining the points of junction of the blades 4, 5 and the spacers 3. Preferably these spacers 8 are arranged in a zigzag. The spacers 8 thus delimit triangular cells 9, 10.

Selon une variante de réalisation, on peut prévoir que les entretoises obliques 8 rejoignent alternativement des points qui ne correspondent pas exactement aux points de jonction des lames 4, 5 et des entretoises 3, notamment des points légèrement décalés vers le centre du volume 9, 10 par rapport aux points de jonction précités. According to an alternative embodiment, provision can be made that the oblique spacers 8 join alternately points which do not correspond exactly to the points for joining the blades 4, 5 and the spacers 3, in particular points slightly offset towards the center of the volume 9, 10 with respect to the aforementioned junction points.

Comme on le voit, sur le dessin, les épaisseurs des fanes 4, 5 sont inférieures aux épaisseurs des lames 1 et 2. Les épaisseurs des entretoises 3 sont de préférence inférieures à l'épaisseur des lames extrêmes, mais supérieures à celle des lames 4, 5. L'épaisseur des entretoises 8 peut être réduite et intermédiaire entre les épaisseurs des entretoises perpendiculaires 3 et des lames intermédiaires 4, ou, de préférence, égale à l'épaisseur des lames 4, 5.As can be seen in the drawing, the thicknesses of the tops 4, 5 are less than the thickness of the blades 1 and 2. The thicknesses of the spacers 3 are preferably less than the thickness of the end blades, but greater than that of the blades 4, 5. The thickness of the spacers 8 can be reduced and intermediate between thicknesses of perpendicular spacers 3 and blades intermediates 4, or, preferably, equal to the thickness blades 4, 5.

A titre d'exemple, pour une plaque selon la figure 1 ayant une épaisseur totale de 16 mm, un pas de 20 mm, et un grammage de 2,8 kg/m2, les épaisseurs des différents constituants sont les suivantes :

  • Lames 1, 2 : 0,58 mm
  • Entretoise 3 : 0,47 mm
  • Lames intermédiaires 4, 5 : 0,25 mm
  • Entretoise 8 : 0,25 mm
By way of example, for a plate according to FIG. 1 having a total thickness of 16 mm, a pitch of 20 mm, and a grammage of 2.8 kg / m 2 , the thicknesses of the various constituents are the following:
  • Slides 1, 2: 0.58 mm
  • Spacer 3: 0.47 mm
  • Intermediate blades 4, 5: 0.25 mm
  • Spacer 8: 0.25 mm

Ces épaisseurs peuvent, de préférence, varier indgpendamment les unes des autres, dans des proportions de l'ordre de 25 %.These thicknesses may preferably vary independently of one another, in proportions of around 25%.

Grâce à l'invention on a notablement amélioré les caractéristiques de la plaque de polycarbonate obtenue par extrusion, selon le motif décrit.Thanks to the invention, the characteristics of the polycarbonate sheet obtained by extrusion, according to the pattern described.

La rigidité et la résistance à la flexion ont été considérablement augmentés, et ceci sans augmentation de matière. L'interposition des lames intermédiaires 4, 5 augmente sensiblement le coefficient d'isolation thermique alors que, de plus, les alvéoles 6, 7, 9, 10 présentent des tailles réduites et notamment, pour les alvéoles 6 et 7 une épaisseur faible, ce qui est également favorable à une meilleure isolation thermique. Par ailleurs, lorsque l'on contemple la plaque selon l'invention, le regard ne rencontre dans la direction perpendiculaire à la plaque, aucun noeud supplémentaire, l'ensemble de noeuds réunissant les différents éléments constitutifs de la plaque étant toujours alignés sur les entretoises 3, de sorte que la transparence n'est pratiquement pas modifiée par rapport à la transparence des plaques de l'art antérieur. Rigidity and resistance to bending have been significantly increased, and this without increasing material. The interposition of the intermediate blades 4, 5 significantly increases the thermal insulation coefficient while, in addition, the cells 6, 7, 9, 10 have reduced sizes and in particular, for cells 6 and 7 a thin, which is also favorable for better thermal insulation. Furthermore, when we contemplate the plate according to the invention, the gaze does not meets in the direction perpendicular to the plate, no additional node, the set of nodes bringing together the various constituent elements of the plate being always aligned with the spacers 3, so that the transparency is practically unchanged from the transparency of the plates of the prior art.

A titre d'exemple, une plaque similaire à celle décrite ci-dessus ayant une épaisseur de 16 mm, un pas de 25 mm et un grammage de 2,8 kg présente les caractéristiques suivantes :

  • coefficient de transmissibilité thermique : 2,2 W/m2.K
  • déformation (sous 900 N/m2) : 81 mm
For example, a plate similar to that described above having a thickness of 16 mm, a pitch of 25 mm and a grammage of 2.8 kg has the following characteristics:
  • coefficient of thermal transmissibility: 2.2 W / m 2 .K
  • deformation (under 900 N / m 2 ): 81 mm

Par comparaison, une plaque de même grammage à trois lames et à entretoises perpendiculaires de même pas présente un coefficient thermique de 2,42 W/m2.K et une déformation de 150 mm et une plaque de même pas et grammage à deux lames et entretoises perpendiculaires et obliques en zig-zag, un coefficient thermique de 2,6 W/m2.K et une déformation de 61 mm. La transparence n'apparaít pas diminuée.By comparison, a plate of the same grammage with three blades and perpendicular spacers of the same pitch has a thermal coefficient of 2.42 W / m2.K and a deformation of 150 mm and a plate of the same pitch and grammage with two blades and spacers perpendicular and oblique in a zig-zag, a thermal coefficient of 2.6 W / m 2 .K and a deformation of 61 mm. The transparency does not appear diminished.

On se réfère maintenant à la figure 2.We now refer to Figure 2.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée sur la figure 2, la plaque possède une structure analogue à celle de la figure 1, étant entendu cependant que seule une lame intermédiaire 4 est présente à proximité de la lame externe 1, de sorte que les alvéoles 9, 10 sont délimités directement par l'autre lame externe 2. Cette forme de réalisation présente également, par rapport à l'art antérieur, des avantages importants, mais elle n'est pas préférée, la forme de réalisation de la figure 1 étant, pour sa part, encore nettement plus avantageuse.In the embodiment shown in the figure 2, the plate has a structure similar to that of the Figure 1, it being understood however that only one blade intermediate 4 is present near the outer blade 1, so that the cells 9, 10 are delimited directly by the other external blade 2. This form of realization also presents, compared to art significant benefits, but it is not preferred, the embodiment of FIG. 1 being, for its part, even more advantageous.

On comprend que l'invention peut encore faire l'objet de nombreuses variantes de détail. Ainsi, par exemple, l'épaisseur des entretoises 3 pourrait être différente suivant que la partie d' entretoise se trouve à l'extérieur ou entre les lames intermédiaires 4, 5. De même les entretoises 8 pourraient ne pas s'étendre exactement jusque dans les coins des alvéoles intermédiaires mais, rejoindre les entretoises 3 à une certaine distance des lames intermédiaires 4, 5. Enfin, on comprend que les épaisseurs respectives des différents constituants du motif peuvent varier les unes par rapport aux autres en fonction notamment du rapport entre l'épaisseur totale des plaques et le pas du motif, et en fonction de la résistance recherchée.We understand that the invention can still be the subject many variations of detail. So, for example, the thickness of the spacers 3 could be different depending on whether the spacer part is outside or between the intermediate blades 4, 5. Similarly the spacers 8 may not extend exactly as far in the corners of the intermediate cells but, join the spacers 3 at a certain distance from the blades intermediaries 4, 5. Finally, we understand that the thicknesses respective of the different constituents of the pattern can vary from each other depending in particular the ratio between the total thickness of the plates and the pitch of the pattern, and depending on the resistance sought.
