^: Iastartif <e housing cell "

The ^ rfindun ^; concerns a kastenarti ..:; e housing cell for the pre-showing accommodation of optical, electronic and / or mechanical components _a consisting of upper and lower part as well as side winds.

Housings for optical and electronic devices, in particular ⁷ Ie / Ir; devices. are now either in one piece in plastic _c ; e;, ossen or injection-molded, provided they do not have too large dimensions, or they are made from several plates together; .i. en. The connection between the individual plates which form the casing walls depends entirely on the type of material used. Do you want several _; «~ Gf. in your; Use different Gerrite approximately the same dimensions or different dimensions to put together and switch a device series or series, so nan connects the individual housings either by additional connecting elements such as angle _{or plate pieces 3} to be arranged on them or they are placed on a separate carrier.

Task of the Sr fin dun r; is to create a Gehfiusezelle which is as simple as possible in its construction and manufacture and at the same time enables the creation of a housing system from any number of cells that can be lined up. H. No additional components are required for connecting the individual cells to one another.

This object is achieved according to the invention, DAP, respectively upper and lower parts on the one hand and the side walls on the other hand interlocking in one another or art · _f: consist compensate profile pieces, which are easily releasably connected to each other,

In this way, the invention-jsr-.emM ^ -e housing cell is the smallest unit, for example, of a larger measuring arrangement: and. can be used for training the latter or for ISrr ^ .nzun: ;; same modularti ;: anyi ;; be duplicated.

According to a particularly advantageous idea of the invention, the upper part and the lower part of the walkway cell should each consist of a U-profile piece with an inner and an outer leg, and the two side walls should consist of double-T-profile pieces. Such profiles are particularly available as bar material of different dimensions in different materials _3, for example light metal. The two upper and lower parts forming U-shaped pieces are to be mounted with its legs in a simple manner against each other and on top of that blank between them a SchlitZj the heated on devices with them Baueier-entsn ri; Cooling goals can be used " by using them to KiIhIIi.!"⁴; feeds.

The wound overlap the outer limbs of the upper or lower part, while the two inner limbs are connected to one another so that they can be spread apart. Thus, the side walls have three functions: on the one hand to close off the housing cell on the side, then to connect the upper and lower part by inserting the two legs of the double-T and finally the connection to the next housing cell. The spreadability of the two inner legs of the upper and lower part, in turn, has the effect that the clamping of these two parts within the flanges of the side walls can be changed, i.e. loosened or reinforced, "whereby" at the same time through this spreadability of the slot -between the two legs is adjustable. This in turn results in benefits for the cooling- This can according to a further preferred feature of the invention, the inner legs of the two U-shaped pieces to be joined together on the side of the webs by screwing, on the side of their free ends by screws _a result of which the Adjustability and adjustability can also be improved. In any case, you only need these few screw _{elements 3} while the connection between the upper and lower part on the one hand and the side walls on the other hand is made exclusively by clamping. The inner legs of the U-profile pieces can also be referred to as clamping legs, as they essentially determine the type and strength of the connection. On the other hand, however, they also form a horizontal subdivision of the interior of the housing and make it possible for the components mentioned to be arranged thereon or thereon, for example in two levels. That depends on the size of the optical, electronic and / or mechanical components to be used.

It is, however, according to a further advantageous feature of the invention ·· provided that the inner

3098AO / 0632

Legs of the upper and lower part are shortened compared to the legs forming the ceiling and floor. Such U-profiles with different lance legs are commercially available as bar goods and have the advantage with respect to the inventive concept that only part of the interior of the housing is divided horizontally, while larger components can be accommodated in the other part, i.e. those that have more than occupy half the height of the housing cell. For the same reason, it is also possible and, according to a further feature of the invention, advantageous ₃ that the webs of the upper part and lower part are of different heights. It koinint ₃ as previously not explained> to the size of the identity of the corresponding parts of _a but only to the Arti ^ facilitated uniform.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention the webs of the upper and / or lower part can be at least partially beveled against the vertical. You get a very user-friendly housing cell, the legible affixing of signs., Ileßskalen. Switches etc. on the abovementioned beveled surface.

To achieve an even better cooling effect via the action of the slot between the inner ones Legs of the upper and lower part can also expediently the double T-profile pieces at least on one side their webs be provided ext ribs. Sin such additional The cooling effect is particularly effective when the components are very warm and when the housing is closed from behind a simple plate useful. At the same time, however, these ribs serve as guide rails in a particularly advantageous manner for example for inserting and holding electronic plug-in cards, printed circuits, inserts, that hold certain components. Intermediate floor etc.

In those cases where the housing cell is only available as a single housing or to be used as the end piece of an assembled row of housings, preferably the Flanges of the double T-profile pieces on one side at least partially removed, for example in case of a lack of space to save the space taken up by the flange on the side of the wall or to avoid any risk of injury to diminish.

In further development of the idea of attaching Fixed and set screws for the spreadable fastening of the adjacent legs of the upper and lower part at least substantially in the axial extension of these screws in the ceiling and / or floor holes are provided, whereby one obtains a particularly easy accessibility to them from the outside. These screws are for example Allen screws, which are thus plugged in a key through which the holes can be operated.

There are no doubt other variations of the present invention Housing cells are conceivable, but they are always subordinate to the main idea of the invention, a cell for a row to create according to the modular principle, whereby a plurality of interconnected housing cells There is a considerable saving in side wall elements, since the number of partitions is equal to the number of cells plus 1 corresponds.

The invention is described below with reference to the exemplary embodiment shown in the schematic drawing explained in more detail. Show it:

The invention;:; on .- "ße housing cell is composed i ~: x ^ e sent borrowed each from an upper part 11, a lower part 12 and two side walls 2. Upper part 11 and lower part 12 are cut from a strand U- Profile pieces each with one; * inner leg 13, one outer leg 14 and one web 15 (see Fig. 3a). However, it is useful to the legs of the U-profile - pieces not necessarily equal in length to wj ^r _s .hlen but are quite different profile bar known and commercially, in which the legs are different lengths. These differences in length can be seen from the examples in _{FIGS. 1, 3,} 2, 3b and 3c.

Upper part 11 and lower part 12 lie with their inner legs 13 against one another or against one another and are connected to one another by means of screws 3, 4. The connection is designed so that advantageously a slot formed between the two legs 13 131, namely for example in such a manner ₅ that the front, is formed on the side of the webs 15 screw lying as a solid screw 3 and providing at this point, a spacer 132, while the rear screw is provided as adjusting screw k . This adjusting screw 4 extends through the upper of the two legs 13 and is supported on the surface of the lower leg 13. By adjusting this screw, the tension in the connection between the two U-profile pieces 11 and 12 can be reduced or increased. This is crucial

for the arrangement; of the entire housing cell as below shown vi he is.

The two side walls 2 consist of double-T-profile pieces, each with one half of their flanges 21, the outer ones Leg 14 of upper part 11 and lower part 12 overlap. This overlap is achieved by selecting the appropriate size of the U-profile pieces guaranteed, i.e. the outer distance of the two outer legs 14 of the U-profile pieces must be about the inner distance of the two flanges of the double-T profile pieces correspond. In this case, as Fig. 3 shows, does not necessarily mean that the U-profiles 11, 12 are identical. have high ridges 15; but the web heights can definitely be different. Small differences in the distance "the Earth the outer loop 14 x ^ by grinding the spacer 132 balanced. .

Due to the shape of the side walls 2 ″, as can be seen from the above in connection with the drawing, a very simple and firm connection of the housing cell is possible by spreading the outer legs 14 relative to one another by actuating the adjusting screw and kleramend them ge _t :; en presses the inside of the flanges 21 of the side walls 2. For the purpose of easy accessibility both the tightening screws 3 and the adjusting screws 4, which are zi-jeckrräM ^ Allen screws and of which several pairs over the width of the housing cell, but preferably at least two pairs and these are each arranged in the vicinity of the side walls 2 ₃ , the outer leg 14 of the upper part 11, which forms a cover, has 4 holes 34 essentially in the axial extension of the screws 3j Wrenches to the heads of the screws, but of course it is also possible

it depends on the position of the visual hoods and the intended use of the housing cell as well as the components housed therein _{3 to provide} the holes in the lower part 12, which has a bottom 142.

As already indicated _s corresponds to the distance of the seated on webs 22 flanges 21 of the side walls 2 of the sum of the heights of the webs 15 of the upper part 11 and lower part 12, plus a certain amount of play, by the in cooperation with the fixed and set screws 3 * 4 and the Spacer 132, the height-adjustable slot 131 is created .. This slot is used to suck cooling air into the interior of the housing cell _a in which optical, electronic and / or mechanical components can be arranged in any way and depending on the request or the purpose to be fulfilled. If components which generate a great deal of heat are now accommodated inside the housing, the cooling air supplied through the slot 131 may not be sufficient. It is then appropriate to use so-called cooling profiles for the side walls 2; These are the aforementioned double-T profile pieces, which are provided with ribs 23 on at least one side of their webs 22. Such profiles are also commercially available today and can be obtained as rod material. The ribs 23 are normally provided on both sides of the webs 22 to enlarge the surface area of the side walls 2 _, as can also be seen from FIG. 2 in conjunction with FIG. The ribs 23 located inside the housing cell simultaneously serve in a particularly advantageous manner as guide rails for any elements that can be pushed in, here indicated by a plate 5 in phantom, which can be electronic plug-in cards, printed circuits, sliding shelves or intermediate shelves for certain components, etc. However, the components can also be fastened to the ribs 23 in the interior of the housing cell in any other suitable manner, for example by clamping or screwing.

In Fig. 2 there is only a single, self-contained one box-like housing cell shown, but you can easily see that any number of such housing cells can be connected to one another to form a larger housing unit can. You save between two neighboring housing cells each a side wall, because yes according to the invention the side walls 2 serve as side closures and as double connecting elements. The connection with the not shown Housing cell, which is to be arranged on the right-hand side, is carried out through the two free halves of the pool the right side wall 2 by placing these flanges or flange halves upper and lower part of the adjacent housing cell as in the case of the housing cell shown and the adjacent housing cell overlap the same clamping arrangement as they can be seen in FIG. 2, has.

In this way it is also possible differently to connect large housing cells together as long as this Housing cells only have essentially the same overall height with regard to the distance between the flanges 21. The width can be quite different, as can the depth of the housing cell. In this way, measuring lines and / or stands of different heating device units of different sizes and lengths can be set up quickly and easily put together. An easily detachable, larger clamping arrangement is obtained from which individual parts are easily detached and can be replaced by others.

The front wall 110 of the housing cell is made up of the webs 15 of Upper part 11 and lower part 12 are formed. Depending on the design of the U-profile pieces, this front wall can be vertical as a whole, i.e. perpendicular. z, u run to the legs (see J? -ig. 3 a), or they can be at least partially beveled against the vertical (see Figs. 1, 2, 3b and 3c). The embodiment of Figures 1 and 2 shows a double, i.e. at the top and bottom Lower part provided bevel 151, in Figures 3b and c

however, the bevel is only present on the upper part 11. The bevel 151 does not serve to attach it here in any more detail signs such as operating instructions, manufacturer information, etc. as well as measuring scales, switches or other equipment, which can be of importance for the operation of the device. For this purpose, in the bevel I5I appropriate holes are made. Due to the inclination to the vertical, the bevel 15.I enables a special easy operation, as the labels, levers, etc. attached to it are in a more favorable angle of view to the operating personnel lie than is the case with a vertical surface.

But it is also possible (see Fig. 3c), between the two inner legs 13 to clamp a plate 152 and on these scales, switches, control lamps, adjusting knobs, etc. must be provided. The attachment of this plate 152 causes for no significant difficulties for those skilled in the art. The plate can either have wider edges or for this purpose Flanges can be provided, but it can also be held by means of pins.

Lines or other connecting elements run from the measuring, switching and control elements on the bevel 151 and / or the plate 152 into the interior of the housing cell, where they are connected to the components provided here.

As can be seen from Fig. 1, the cooling fins 23 of the right side wall 2 on the side of the front wall 110 are shortened, that is cut off or milled away to prevent them from being in the way of the connection to the next, adjacent housing cell. Such processing can also be avoided if you let the U-profile pieces of the upper part 11 and lower part 12 protrude slightly over the front cut surface of the webs 22 of the side walls 2, so that the ribs 23 in this case practically a stop for the Form the inner wall of the U-profile pieces .

Sa 'is also possible without difficulty, in the event that a fixed housing arrangement has been created to _remove the laterally protruding free parts of the flanges 2: 1, so that a smooth outer side wall is then present it is recommended, however, if it is ensured that the side wall 2 on this side is no longer required for a further connection of a Bach bar part ..

To increase the clamping effect between the outer legs 14 of the TJ profile pieces and the webs 2: 1 of the side edge as well as for determining the position and favorable centering, small points can be made in the flanges 21 at predetermined, possibly standardized points in terms of their edge distances.
