Abstract
A functional roof construction arrangement for a roof frame of a building, includes a plurality of functional roof modules being assembled together. Each of the functional roof modules includes a module housing and a roof functional unit which includes three different roof functional panel units selectively supported by the module housing at different levels thereof to provide different functions for the building. The roof functional panel units are selectively configured for selectively providing multiple functions of solar energy collection, thermal insulation, sound insulation, wireless network system, and the like.
Claims19
A method of installing a functional roof construction arrangement on a roof frame of a building, comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a plurality of roof solar collecting panels by a step of coupling first through third roof solar collecting panel units at a module housing at a position that said second roof solar collecting panel unit is located between said first roof solar collecting panel unit and said third roof solar collecting panel unit, wherein said first through third roof solar collecting panel units provide different functions, wherein the step (a) further comprises the steps of:
- (a.1) forming two supporting frames, each comprising a supporting wall extended vertically, a supporting arm perpendicularly extended from supporting wall to define an upper portion of said supporting wall above said supporting wall and a lower portion of said supporting wall below said supporting wall for attaching to the roof frame, a supporting ridge extended from supporting wall at a position parallel to and below said supporting arm, and a sliding slot longitudinal formed at a top edge of said supporting wall;
- (a.2) spacedly aligning said supporting frames with each other, such that said supporting arms, said supporting ridges, and said sliding slots are spacedly aligned with each other;
- (a.3) slidably supporting said first roof solar collecting panel unit by said supporting ridges of said supporting frames;
- (a.4) slidably supporting said second roof solar collecting panel unit by said supporting arms of said supporting frames at a position below said first roof solar collecting panel;
- and
- (a.5) slidably engaging said third roof solar collecting panel unit with said sliding slots of said supporting frames at a position spacedly above said first roof solar collecting panel unit and slidably coupling said solar collecting panels with said sliding slots of said supporting frames to support at said top edges of said supporting walls in an edge-to-edge manner;
- (b) coupling said functional roof modules with each other by
- (b.1) forming a locking ridge at each of said module housings;
- and
- (b.2) providing a module connector which has two locking edges to engage with said locking ridges of said two module housings respectively when two of said module housings are located side-by-side so as to lock up said functional roof modules with each other;
- and
- (c) installing said functional roof modules on the roof frame of the building.
A functional roof construction arrangement for a roof frame of a building, comprising a plurality of functional roof modules each comprising:
- a module housing which comprises two supporting frames, each comprising a supporting wall extended vertically to define an upper portion of said module housing and a lower portion of said module housing for attaching to the roof frame, a supporting ridge extended from said supporting wall, and a sliding slot longitudinal formed at a top edge of said supporting wall;
- and
- a roof functional unit which comprises:
- a plurality of thermal insulation panels, wherein two edge portions of each of said thermal insulation panels are supported by said supporting ridges of said supporting frames respectively;
- and
- a plurality of solar collecting panels slidably coupled with said sliding slots of said supporting frames to support at said top edges of said supporting walls in an edge-to-edge manner.
