The disclosure relates to a formwork for the production of a concrete element, in particular, a wall or ceiling element, with an opening, in particular, a window or door opening, comprising:
a formwork panel,
an opening formwork with a frame element for delimiting a portion of the opening, with a support bracket for supporting the frame element and with a mounting element for mounting the support bracket,
a formwork-stripping device for transferring the opening formwork from a formwork position for the formation of the opening into a formwork-stripping position for releasing the concrete element.
Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a battery mould with such a formwork and another formwork element, wherein a formwork chamber is provided between the formwork panel of the formwork and the other formwork element.
Ultimately, the disclosure relates to a method for producing a concrete element, in particular, a wall or ceiling element, with an opening, in particular, a window or door opening, comprising the steps:
providing such a formwork,
arranging the opening formwork in the formwork position,
casting of the concrete element with the formwork and
separating the concrete element from the formwork.
As is known, for example, from DE 102 198 96 C1, an opening formwork can be used to form an opening for a window, a door or the like in a concrete construction element. The opening formwork is arranged on the formwork shells of an internal and an external formwork. The opening formwork comprises a moveable frame, which is attached to a rigid inner frame. On the outer circumference of the inner frame, guides are formed that hold the frame parts of the opening formwork in an articulately jointed manner. The guides can be pivoted so that the opening formwork is reduced in size and, thereby, the outer formwork can be removed from the produced concrete body together with the opening formwork. Spindles are provided for pivoting the guides, which can be extended or shortened. The disadvantage, however, is that the demoulding of the concrete construction element is complex. The spindles must be adjusted to such an extent that a sufficient distance is created between the frame parts of the opening formwork and the concrete construction element in order to be able to release the formwork from the concrete body. The particular problem is that the frame parts can adhere to the concrete construction element, which can block the stripping of the formwork. Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that the guides and the spindles are exposed to high loads during concreting, which can lead to malfunctions.
On the other hand, the object of the present disclosure is to alleviate or remedy at least individual disadvantages of prior art. The disclosure aims in particular to make the release of the concrete element from the formwork easier and more reliable. Furthermore, a goal of the disclosure can be to improve the removal of loads during concreting.
This task is achieved by means of a formwork, a battery mould and a method.
According to the disclosure, the formwork-stripping device comprises a sliding and tilting mechanism for sliding the frame element in one direction parallel to the formwork panel and for tilting the frame element about a pivot axis substantially parallel to the formwork panel.
To prepare for the release of the concrete element from the formwork, the sliding and tilting mechanism of the formwork-stripping device is actuated. The sliding and tilting mechanism is set up to slide the frame element in the direction parallel to the main plane of the formwork panel and to simultaneously tilt the frame element about the pivot axis running parallel to the main plane of the formwork panel. Thus, the frame element cannot only be slid along the inner side of the formwork panel, but also tilted away from the inner side of the formwork panel. This makes it much easier to separate formwork and construction element after hardening. If the frame element adheres to the concrete element, the concrete element can still be separated from the formwork because the frame element is slid and tilted simultaneously. Thereby, a blockage during demoulding is reliably avoided. If the frame element does not adhere to the concrete element, it can be sufficient to slide the frame element without simultaneously tilting. However, it is essential that the formwork-stripping device is set up to allow both the movement as well as tilting of the frame element.
If the pivot axis of the sliding and tilting mechanism is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the frame element, the frame element can be tilted away from the formwork panel when the concrete element is separated from the formwork. As a result, the concrete element can be reliably deducted from the formwork (or, conversely, the formwork can be removed from the concrete element). In the formwork position, the frame element is preferably arranged substantially perpendicular to the inner side of the formwork panel. If the frame element is tilted during stripping, the frame element is arranged in the formwork-stripping position at an angle to the inner side of the formwork panel.
Preferably, the frame element can be tilted while simultaneously being slid away from the concrete element by at least 2 degrees, in particular, at least 4 degrees, being particularly preferred, at least 6 degrees.
In order to enable the desired slidability and pivotability easily and reliably, the sliding and tilting mechanism of the formwork-stripping device preferably comprises a longitudinal guide, in particular, an oblong hole, and a guide element mounted therein in a slidable and pivotable manner, in particular, a bolt, wherein the longitudinal guide is provided on one of the support bracket and the mounting element and the guide element is provided on the other of the support bracket and mounting element. Preferably, the longitudinal guide is formed on the support bracket and the guide element is formed at the mounting element. However, the reverse arrangement can also be provided. By sliding the guide element along the longitudinal guide while simultaneously pivoting the guide element about the pivot axis, the frame element is shifted inwards and tilted away from the formwork panel. Thus, the desired degrees of freedom of movement are realised in a particularly simple way. The transfer to the formwork-stripping position can be carried out particularly quickly, since a complex actuation of spindles as is the case with prior art is not required. Under the influence of gravity and/or contact with the concrete element, the transition from the formwork to the formwork-stripping position can be jerky. Preferably, all degrees of freedom of the movement of the frame element except the sliding along the formwork panel and the tilting about the pivot axis parallel to the formwork panel are blocked.
In order to release the tilting movement of the support bracket during the transfer to the formwork-stripping position and therefore not to block the tilting movement, the support bracket in accordance with a preferred embodiment variant comprises a rounding to free the pivoting of the support bracket at the end region facing the pivot axis.
In order to ensure the formation of the opening on the concrete element, the opening formwork preferably comprises a securing element for securing the support bracket in the formwork position. In the secured state of the securing element, the opening formwork is secured against transfer from the formwork position to the formwork-stripping position. In the unsecured state of the securing element, the transfer from the formwork position to the formwork-stripping position is released. Thereby, the concrete element can be cast in the secured state of the securing element in the accommodating space of the formwork adjacent to the formwork panel. After the concrete element has hardened, the securing element is moved into the unsecured state in order to be able to transfer the opening formwork from the formwork position to the formwork-stripping position.
For securing and unlocking, the securing element can be connected to the mounting element via a detachable connection, in particular, via a screw connection. By loosening the detachable connection, stripping preparation can be performed. Conversely, the detachable connection is established to allow the pouring of the concrete element with the opening. The detachable connection of the securing element can therefore be reversible, i.e., without loss of function, and preferably be established and detached without tools.
In order to make the assembly particularly simple, reliable and fast, the screw connection comprises a threaded bolt in a preferred embodiment, in particular, substantially in the centre of the mounting element, wherein the securing element comprises a retaining hole for attachment to the threaded bolt. In this embodiment, the screw connection preferably comprises a retaining nut, which fixes the securing element attached to the threaded bolt to the mounting element. Preferably, the threaded bolt is arranged substantially perpendicular to the main plane of the formwork panel, whereby, on the one hand, the attachment of the securing element and, on the other hand, the attachment of the retaining nut is facilitated. It is also advantageous if the securing element comprises a retaining plate on which the retaining hole is formed. This embodiment has, in particular, the advantage that the sliding and tilting mechanism in the secured state of the securing element can be covered at least partially, preferably, substantially covered completely by the retaining plate. This increases the security during operation. The retaining plate in the secured state is preferably arranged substantially perpendicular to the threaded bolt and substantially parallel to the formwork panel. Preferably, the mounting element comprises a mounting plate, which is attached to the formwork panel. In the case of this embodiment, it is advantageous if the retaining plate of the securing element has substantially the same shape and extension as the mounting plate of the mounting element, wherein the retaining plate and the mounting plate in top view, perpendicularly to the formwork panel, are essentially arranged congruently.
Preferably, the mounting element, in particular, a mounting plate of the mounting element, is attached to the formwork panel via a screw connection, for example, using a threaded bolt. However, a magnetic connection can also be provided.
In order to reliably block the sliding or respectively the tilting of the frame element in the formwork position, the securing element comprises in a preferred embodiment a first retaining surface for resting on an outer side of the support bracket facing away from the formwork panel and/or a second retaining surface for resting on a front side of the support bracket facing away from the frame element. Preferably, the second retaining surface of the securing element is formed as a wedge surface. This embodiment ensures a reliable securing of the frame element in the formwork position in order to enable the precise formation of the opening in the concrete element.
In a preferred embodiment, the mounting element comprises at least one first wedge surface and the securing element comprises at least one second wedge surface, wherein, in the secured state of the securing element, the second wedge surface of the securing element rests on the first wedge surface of the mounting element. In the secured state, the first and second wedge surfaces are arranged at an angle to the inner side of the formwork panel, i.e., at an angle different from 90 degrees, for example, at an angle of 70 and 110 degrees respectively. Preferably, the mounting element comprises at least two, in particular four, first wedge surfaces, and the securing element comprises at least two, in particular four, second wedge surfaces. The first and second wedge surfaces preferably diverge in a direction away from the inner side of the formwork panel. The first wedge surfaces preferably delimit a receiving opening, in which a portion of the securing element, in particular, a projection at the underside of a retaining plate of the securing element, is inserted with the second wedge surfaces. The first wedge surfaces form corresponding sloping surfaces for the second wedge surfaces of the securing element in order to facilitate the attachment of the securing element to the mounting element. It is also advantageous that the first and second wedge surfaces cause an effective tensioning of the securing element on the mounting element.
In order to attach a plurality of frame elements to the same mounting element, the mounting element comprises at least two, preferably four, mounting points for mounting two, preferably four, support brackets in a preferred embodiment. Preferably, at least one pair of mounting points is provided for two support brackets, which project away from the mounting element in opposing directions. Thus, two opposing boundaries of the opening of the concrete element can be formed. Depending on the embodiment, however, three support brackets at right angles to each other can also lead away from three mounting points in order to form three boundaries of a rectangular opening of the concrete element. Furthermore, four mounting points can be arranged in pairs at right angles to each other. If support brackets are arranged at all four mounting points, all four boundaries of a rectangular opening can be formed. Thereby, two, three or four support brackets can be arranged at the mounting points of the mounting element, to which a corresponding number of frame elements is attached to form two, three or four boundaries of a rectangular opening of the concrete element.
In a preferred embodiment, the mounting points each comprise at least one retaining flange with a mounting opening. The retaining flange is preferably arranged substantially perpendicular to the formwork panel. Preferably, the guide element, in particular the bolt, of the sliding and tilting mechanism is mounted to the mounting opening. It is also advantageous if the bolt can be detachably attached to the mounting opening, in particular being detachable without tools. The bolt can be secured with a securing cotter pin on the mounting opening. Thus, the associated support bracket can be easily detached from the mounting element if the corresponding mounting point for the current application is not to be occupied with a support bracket.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the formwork comprises another formwork panel, wherein the formwork panel and the other formwork panel at their first end regions are pivotably connected to each other so that the formwork panel and the other formwork panel can be transferred from a standing state to a lying state. A “butterfly formwork” with two pivotable formwork elements is known, for example, from the WO 2016/184947 A1. The two preferably rectangular formwork panels are each pivotably connected at a first end region, in particular, on one of their longitudinal sides. For this purpose, an articulated connection can be provided between the first end regions of the formwork panels. As a result, the two formwork panels can be transferred from a standing state in which the formwork elements are preferably aligned substantially vertically, to a lying state in which the formwork elements are preferably substantially aligned horizontally. In the standing state, the first end regions form the upper ends of the formwork elements, and the second end regions form the lower ends of the formwork elements. In the lying state, for example, the opening formwork can be mounted on the formwork panel.
The formwork is preferably used in a battery mould, which comprises another formwork element, wherein a formwork chamber is provided between the formwork panel of the formwork and the other formwork element. The other formwork element can be a single formwork panel. Alternatively, two other formwork elements at their first end regions can be pivotably connected to each other, as explained above in connection with a preferred embodiment of the formwork. In this case, the formwork chamber is formed between the formwork and one of the other formwork elements. Of course, such a battery mould can be extended as desired by formworks and other formwork elements to form a plurality of formwork chambers for the production of several concrete elements. For the production of a concrete element, in particular, a precast concrete element, the formwork can be arranged in the standing state of the formwork panels between two bulkhead partitions of the battery mould. The formwork panels are in the folded (i.e., substantially standing parallel to each other) state.
In the case of the method for producing a concrete element, in particular, a wall or ceiling element, with an opening, in particular, a window or door opening, at least the following steps are carried out, preferably in the order indicated:
provision of a formwork according to one of the embodiments described above,
arranging the opening formwork in the formwork position,
casting of the concrete element with the formwork,
separating the concrete element from the formwork,
wherein, when separating the concrete element, at least one frame element of the opening formwork is slid from the formwork in one direction parallel to the formwork panel and tilted about a pivot axis substantially running parallel to the formwork panel.
For casting the concrete element, another formwork element is preferably arranged opposite to the formwork panel, wherein the opening formwork is located between the formwork panel and the other formwork element. Preferably, the casting of the concrete element is carried out in a battery mould, which comprises the formwork and the other formwork element.
The disclosure is further explained below on the basis of a preferred exemplary embodiment, to which, however, it should not be limited.
