Abstract
The present invention relates to the construction industry, and in particular to laboratories, hospitals, food production areas and other places where asepsis is required. Specifically, it relates to a modular construction system based on self-supporting panels, which have post-formed exterior surfaces and are complemented with corner components of similar construction to build hermetic, waterproof and insulating walls that have smooth surfaces. For this, there is a modular system of panels for forming aseptic spaces within an enclosure and a method of installing a clean room wall by means of a modular system of panels to form aseptic spaces inside an enclosure.
Claims14
A modular system of panels for forming aseptic spaces within an enclosure, comprising a rectangular parallelepiped type panel with two side covers, in which each includes a flat wall surface that extends into a curved-concave surface when it reaches the upper edge of the panel and that after a counter-curve joins the upper edge surface, in which the panel has a grooved groove on its upper edge to slide the panel with respect to a upper guide profile fixed in the sky of the enclosure, where each side panel cover is a half of post-formed cover of plastic material and in which the panel comprises a perimeter profile that has grooved grooves centered and continuous by its outer edges, in which the halves of post-formed cover are joined by their inner surfaces to the perimeter profile, exposing the grooved grooves on the edges of the panel;
- and because the system further comprises:
- at least one intermediate support profile that is assembled on a support profile fixed to the floor by means of fasteners to slide the panel with its grooved groove from the lower edge on projections on the upper edge of the intermediate support profile, while sliding with respect to the upper guide profile;
- at least one connection profile with central projections that assemble with the grooved grooves on the sides of each panel for interleaved mounting;
- concave curvature profiles that are assembled on curve support profiles fixed to each side of the support profile to configure a concave and tangential curvature to the floor of the enclosure;
- and
- parts of corner encounters, in which each corner encounter part includes a concave corner post-formed cover, a convex corner post-formed cover, a set of edge profiles with cross-section equal to the perimeter profile that join both post-formed covers by their lateral, upper and bottom edges for joining with the panels through connection profiles.
A method of installing a clean room wall by means of a modular system of panels to form aseptic spaces inside an enclosure, comprising the steps of:
- a) fix an upper guide profile are included to the sky of the enclosure by means of fasteners;
- b) fix a support profile to the floor without cover and assemble an intermediate support profile;
- c) position a panel by sliding between the upper grooved groove and the upper guide profile and between the bottom grooved groove and projections on the upper edge of the intermediate support profile;
- d) interspersely mount a connection profile with central projections with grooved grooves on the sides of each panel;
- e) fix curve support profiles on each side of the support profiles and assemble concave curvature profiles;
- and
- f) extend the floor cover and adhere it on the concave curvature profiles and on a portion of the intermediate support profiles that remains visible, so that the edge of the floor cover establishes a continuous surface with the flat wall surfaces of each panel.
