Abstract

The present invention relates to a building exterior panel and an assembly structure thereof. A building exterior panel according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a front steel plate; a rear steel plate spaced apart from the front steel plate in the rear direction thereof; an upper frame disposed between the upper ends of the front steel plate and the rear steel plate and having a width in the thickness direction; a first side frame disposed at an end of a first side surface located at one end among horizontal opposite ends of the front steel plate and the rear steel plate; a second side frame disposed at an end of a second side surface located at the other end among the horizontal opposite ends of the front steel plate and the rear steel plate; and a lower frame disposed between the lower ends of the front steel plate and the rear steel plate. In addition, an assembly structure of a building exterior panel according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a plurality of building exterior panels as described above; and a base steel member having one side fixed to an outer wall and the other side coupled to the plurality of building exterior panels to support the plurality of building exterior panels.

Claims (29)

1. A building exterior panel, comprising:

a front steel plate;

a rear steel plate spaced apart from the front steel plate in a rear direction of the front steel plate;

an upper frame having a width in a thickness direction from the front steel plate toward the rear steel plate and disposed between an upper end of the front steel plate and an upper end of the rear steel plate so as to be coupled;

a first side frame having a width in the thickness direction and disposed at an end of a first side among both ends of each of the front steel plate and the rear steel plate in a horizontal direction so as to be coupled;

a second side frame having a width in the thickness direction and disposed at an end of a second side among the both ends of each of the front steel plate and the rear steel plate in the horizontal direction so as to be coupled; and

a lower frame having a width in the thickness direction and disposed between a lower end of the front steel plate and a lower end of the rear steel plate so as to be coupled, wherein

the rear steel plate comprises:

a rear body formed to be large in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction;

a rear upper step bent and extending in a front direction in which the front steel plate is located from an upper end of the rear body;

a rear protrusion bent and extending in the upper direction from the rear upper step;

a rear upper frame cover bent and extending in the front direction from an end of the rear protrusion and covering a portion of an upper outer surface adjacent to the rear side of the upper frame; and

a rear lower frame cover bent and extending in the front direction from a lower end of the rear body and covering a portion of a lower outer surface adjacent to the rear side of the lower frame, and

wherein the insulation member is located between the rear upper frame cover and the upper frame and between the rear lower frame cover and the lower frame.

2. The building exterior panel of claim 1 , wherein

the front steel plate comprises:

a front body formed to be large in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction;

a front upper step bent and extending in the thickness direction in which the rear steel plate is located from an upper end of the front body;

a front protrusion bent and extending in the upper direction from an end of the front upper step;

a front upper frame cover bent and extending in the rear direction from an end of the front protrusion and covering a portion of an upper outer surface of the front side of the upper frame; and

a front lower frame cover bent and extending in the rear direction from a lower end of the front body and covering a portion of a lower outer surface of the front side of the lower frame,

wherein an extension width of the front protrusion in the upper direction is larger than an extension width of the rear protrusion in the upper direction.

3. The building exterior panel of claim 2 , wherein

the first side frame includes a first side extending portion extending to protrude in the horizontal direction from a first side end of the front steel plate, wherein the first side extending portion is located closer to the rear side with respect to the front protrusion, and

the second side frame includes a second side extending portion extending to be depressed in the horizontal direction from a second side end of the front steel plate, wherein the second side extending portion is located closer to the rear side with respect to the front protrusion.

4. The building exterior panel of claim 3 , wherein

one of the first side extending portion of the first side frame and the second side extending portion of the second side frame includes a gasket groove and further includes a side gasket inserted into and fixed to the gasket groove.

5. The building exterior panel of claim 3 , wherein

the other of the first side extending portion of the first side frame and the second side extending portion of the second side frame further includes a plurality of irregularities with grooves elongated in the vertical direction or is flat without a plurality of irregularities.
