Abstract

A prefabricated outer wall structure with stress rupture resistance comprising a plurality of outer wall elements, each outer wall element comprising a wall component formed of an inner unit and a plurality of fixing components, in which the inner unit has a ladder slot and its outer surface is adhered to an outer decorative wall unit by means of adhesive in a manner that at least a retention slot is defined between the ladder slot and the outer decorative wall unit with an U-plate is placed within the retention slot; and each fixing component is connected to at least a hook plate corresponding to the U-plate in the wall component, while an end of the fixing component is secured to a construction structure so that the wall component is tightly secured to the construction structure. Thus, without damaging the wall material and the outer wall material'"'"'s strength, installation can be completed with a simply procedure, and by the silicone between the inner unit and the outer decorative wall unit impact of external force, such as strong wind can be buffered to improve the fracture stress which the outer wall unit can withstand.

Claims

1. A prefabricated outer wall structure with stress rupture resistance comprising a plurality of outer wall elements, each outer wall element comprising:

a wall component including an inner unit, an outer decorative wall unit, and a plurality of fixing components, the inner unit defining at least one lateral slot, along a portion of the remaining portion of the outer surface of said inner unit its outer surface being adhered to the inner surface of said outer decorative wall unit by an adhesive so that a retention slot is defined between the inner unit lateral slot and the outer decorative wall unit;

a U-plate being placed in the retention slot; and

each fixing component being connected to a hook plate engaged in a respective U-plate in the wall component, an end of the fixing component being secured to a construction structure so that the wall component is tightly secured to the construction structure.

2. A prefabricated outer wall structure with stress rupture resistance as claimed in claim 1 wherein the inner unit is made of fire-proof material and the outer decorative wall unit is made of reinforced fiberglass.

3. A prefabricated outer wall structure with stress rupture resistance as claimed in claim 1 wherein each fixing component comprises a fixing plate and at least a hook plate, the said fixing plate including a fixing plate member having a fixing hole therein for securing to the construction structure, a connecting plate member extending transversely to an edge of the fixing plate member, the connecting plate member having a connecting hole therethrough, each hook plate including a plate body, having a passing hole for securing said hook plate to a connecting plate member of the fixing plate, and an end of said hook plate having a hook plate member engaging a U-plate in the wall component.

4. A prefabricated outer wall structure with stress rupture resistance as claimed in claim 3 wherein the fixing hole of the fixing plate member, the connecting hole of the connecting plate member, and the passing hole of the hook plate are elliptical.

5. A prefabricated outer wall structure with stress rupture resistance as claimed in claim 1 wherein silicone is the adhesive which adheres the inner unit to the outer decorative wall unit.

6. A prefabricated outer wall structure with stress rupture resistance as claimed in claim 1 wherein a shield is placed between the outer decorative wall unit and the adhesive to protect the adhesive from direct exposure to sunlight.
