Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Drallauslaß mit einer Ausblasplatte und in dieser vorgesehenen Auslaßöffnungen für Warm- und/oder Kaltluft und mit zumindest einer, jeder Auslaßöffnung zugeordneten individuell zu regelnden Luftstrahlleitlamelle, welche sich zwischen zwei Lagerscheiben erstreckt, wobei jede Lagerscheibe in die Auslaßöffnung eingesetzt ist und eine Platte aufweist, in welche jeweils seitlich eine Nut zur Aufnahme einer Randkante der Auslaßöffnung eingeformt ist.The present invention relates to a swirl outlet with a blow-out plate and outlet openings provided for warm and / or cold air and with at least one air jet guide lamella, which is assigned to each outlet opening and extends between two bearing disks, each bearing disk being inserted into the outlet opening and has a plate, in each of which is laterally formed a groove for receiving an edge of the outlet opening.

Derartige Deckenauslässe sind bspw. aus der DE-OS 38 32 052 und der DE-OS 40 26 932 bekannt. Im ersten Fall sind in die Auslaßöffnungen Lagerscheiben eingesetzt, im zweiten Fall sind aus den Auslaßöffnungen Lagerscheiben nach oben abgebogen. In beiden Fällen erstreckt sich eine Drehachse zwischen zwei Lagerscheiben, wobei um diese Drehachse jeweils eine Luftstrahlleitlamelle angeordnet ist.Such ceiling outlets are known, for example, from DE-OS 38 32 052 and DE-OS 40 26 932. In the first case, bearing disks are inserted into the outlet openings; in the second case, bearing disks are bent upwards out of the outlet openings. In both cases, an axis of rotation extends between two bearing disks, an air jet guide lamella being arranged around each axis of rotation.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Halterung dieser Luftetrahlleitlamellen sowohl in technischer als auch ästhetischer Hinsicht zu verbessern.The present invention has for its object to improve the mounting of these Luftetrahlleitlamellen both technically and aesthetically.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt, daß von der Platte unterhalb der Nuten ein Randstreifen abgekantet ist.The solution to this problem is that an edge strip is folded from the plate below the grooves.

Im Gegensatz zu einer Randkante der Lagerscheibe kann der Randstreifen sehr gut mit einer anderen Farbe belegt sein und stellt sich nach unten als ein Farbbalken dar.In contrast to an edge of the bearing disc, the edge strip can be very well covered with a different color and presents itself as a color bar at the bottom.

Ferner wird durch diesen Randstreifen die Halterung der Lagerscheibe in der Auslaßöffnung wesentlich verbessert.Furthermore, the mounting of the bearing disc in the outlet opening is significantly improved by this edge strip.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfhren zum Herstellen eines Drallauslasses gemäß Anspruch 2.The present invention also relates to a method for producing a swirl outlet according to claim 2.

Von unten her sind je nach Drehung der Luftstrahlleitlamelle mehr oder weniger große Bereiche der Lagerscheibe einsehbar. Das bedeutet, daß diese Lagerscheiben sehr stark das ästhetische Aussehen des Drallauslasses beeinflussen können, falls sie eine unterschiedliche Färbung aufweisen. Um die Farbunterschiede zu erhöhen, bietet es sich an, die Auslaßplatte und die Luftstrahlleitlamelle in einer gleichen Farbe auszugestalten, bspw. in weiß. Erfolgt dann die Färbung der Lagerscheiben in einer anderen Farbe, bspw. einem speziellen Grün, Rot, Gold od. dgl., so bietet dieser Drallauslaß einen hervorragenden ästhetischen Eindruck.Depending on the rotation of the air jet guide plate, more or less large areas of the bearing disc can be seen from below. This means that these bearing washers can have a very strong influence on the aesthetic appearance of the swirl outlet if they have a different color. In order to increase the color differences, it is advisable to design the outlet plate and the air jet guide lamella in the same color, for example in white. If the bearing disks are then colored in a different color, for example a special green, red, gold or the like, this swirl outlet offers an outstanding aesthetic impression.

Nach der vorliegende Erfindung werden Lagerscheiben angewendet, welche in Auslaßöffnungen eingesetzt sind, wobei in eine Platte jeweils seitlich eine Nut zur Aufnahme von Randkanten der Auslaßöffnung eingeformt ist. Eine derartige Lagerscheibe ist aus der DE-OS 38 32 052 bekannt. Diese Lagerscheibe hat vor allem den Vorteil, daß ein Teil von ihr nach unten aus der Auslaßplatte austritt, so daß bei einer unterschiedlichen Farbgebung ein größerer Bereich gezeigt ist.According to the present invention, bearing disks are used, which are inserted into outlet openings, a groove being formed laterally in each plate for receiving edge edges of the outlet opening. Such a bearing washer is known from DE-OS 38 32 052. This bearing disc has the particular advantage that a part of it emerges downwards from the outlet plate, so that a larger area is shown with different colors.

Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele sowie anhand der Zeichnung; diese zeigt in

  • Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht auf einen erfindungsgemäßen Deckendrallauslasses;
  • Fig. 2 einen vergrößert dargestellten Teilquerschnitt durch den Deckendrallauslaß gem. Fig. 1 entlang Linie II-II;
  • Fig. 3 einen vergrößert dargestellten Teillängsschnitt durch einen Deckendrallauslaß gem. Fig. 1 entlang Linie III-III.
Further advantages, features and details of the invention result from the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments and from the drawing; this shows in
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a ceiling swirl outlet according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows an enlarged partial cross section through the ceiling swirl outlet acc. Fig. 1 along line II-II;
  • Fig. 3 shows an enlarged partial longitudinal section through a ceiling swirl outlet acc. Fig. 1 along line III-III.

Ein Deckendrallauslaß besteht gem. Fig. 1 aus einem etwa quadratischen Gehäuse 1. Dieses Gehäuse 1 besitzt eine Ausblasplatte 2 sowie einen darauf nicht näher gezeigten, aufgesetzten, aus Seitenwänden bestehenden Rahmen.A ceiling swirl outlet exists according to Fig. 1 from an approximately square housing 1. This housing 1 has a blow-out plate 2 and a frame, not shown thereon, which consists of side walls.

Die Ausblasplatte 2 ist mit schlitzförmigen Auslaßöffnungen 3 durchsetzt, deren geometrische Ausgestaltung und Anordnung im Rahmen der Erfindung ohne Bedeutung ist. Lediglich bevorzugt wird die ziffernblattartige Anordnung gezeigt.The blow-out plate 2 is interspersed with slot-shaped outlet openings 3, the geometric configuration and arrangement of which is of no importance in the context of the invention. The arrangement in the manner of a dial is only shown with preference.

Jeder Auslaßöffnung 3 ist, wie in den Figuren 2 und 3 angedeutet, eine Luftstrahlleitlamelle 4 zugeordnet. Dabei sitzt jede Luftstrahlleitlamelle 4 auf einer Drehachse 5, welche sich zwischen zwei Lagerscheiben 6a und 6b erstreckt. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel besteht jede Luftstrahlleitlamelle 4 aus einem Kunststoffhohlprofil und besitzt im Innern einen durch zwei Stege 7 und 8 gebildeten Kanal 9, in dem die Drehachse 5 ruht. Hierdurch kann die Luftstrahlleitlamelle 4 um die Drehachse 5 gedreht werden und Positionen einnehmen, wie sie in Fig 3 strichpunktiert dargestellt sind. Je nachdem kann so ein Leiten des jeweiligen aus einer bestimmten Auslaßöffnung 3 austretenden Luftstrahls erfolgen.As indicated in FIGS. 2 and 3, an air jet guide lamella 4 is assigned to each outlet opening 3. Each air jet guide plate 4 is seated on an axis of rotation 5, which extends between two bearing disks 6a and 6b. In the present exemplary embodiment, each air jet guide lamella 4 consists of a hollow plastic profile and has a channel 9 formed inside by two webs 7 and 8, in which the axis of rotation 5 rests. As a result, the air jet guide lamella 4 can be rotated about the axis of rotation 5 and assume positions such as those with a dash-dot line in FIG. 3 are shown. Depending on this, the respective air jet emerging from a specific outlet opening 3 can be directed.

In Fig. 1 ist ferner ersichtlich, daß eine einer Auslaßöffnung 3 zugeordnete Luftstrahlleitlamelle 4 aus mehreren Teilen bestehen kann, welche separat wiederum um die Drehachse 5 oder eine eigene Drehachse drehbar sind. Hierdurch ist für jede Auslaßöffnung 3 auch eine individuelle Luftstrahlleitung gewährleistet. Dementsprechend ist für jede Auslaßöffnung 3 eine entsprechende Anzahl von Lagerscheiben 6 vorgesehen.In Fig. 1 it can also be seen that an air jet guide lamella 4 assigned to an outlet opening 3 can consist of several parts, which in turn can be rotated separately about the axis of rotation 5 or its own axis of rotation. This also ensures an individual air jet line for each outlet opening 3. Accordingly, a corresponding number of bearing disks 6 is provided for each outlet opening 3.

Jede Lagerscheibe 6 weist eine im wesentlichen rechteckige Platte 10 auf, die allerdings auch eine andere geometrische Ausgestaltung haben kann. Beidseits in die Platte 10 ist eine Nut 11 bzw. 12 eingeformt, welche das Einsetzen der Lagerscheibe 6 in die Ausblasplatte 2 erleichtert. Die Lagerscheibe 6 braucht nur mit ihrer Längsachse etwa parallel zur Achse der Auslaßöffnung 3 in diese eingeführt und dann um 90° gedreht zu werden, wobei Randkanten 13 und 14 der Auslaßöffnung 3 bzw. der Ausblasplatte 2 in den Nuten 11 und 12 aufgenommen werden.Each bearing disc 6 has an essentially rectangular plate 10, which, however, can also have a different geometric configuration. A groove 11 or 12 is formed in the plate 10 on both sides, which facilitates the insertion of the bearing disk 6 into the blow-out plate 2. The bearing disc 6 only needs to be inserted with its longitudinal axis approximately parallel to the axis of the outlet opening 3 and then rotated through 90 °, edge edges 13 and 14 of the outlet opening 3 and the outlet plate 2 being received in the grooves 11 and 12.

Möglich ist bei der vorliegenden Erfindung, daß die Lagerscheibe 6 bzw. zumindest die Platte 10 eine andere Farbe aufweist als beispielsweise die Luftstrahlleitlamelle 4 und/oder die Ausblasplatte 2.It is possible with the present invention that the bearing disc 6 or at least the plate 10 has a different color than, for example, the air jet guide plate 4 and / or the blow-out plate 2.

Um hier die Farbunterschiede noch zu erhöhen, ist von der Lagerscheibe 6 nach den Nuten 11 und 12 ein Randstreifen 15 abgekantet, der zum einen verhindert, daß die Lagerscheibe 6 nach dem Einsetzen in die Aulaßöffnung 3 kippen kann, zum anderen aber eine Auftragsfläche für die unterschiedliche Farbe darstellt, so daß die unterschiedliche Färbung von unten her auch bei einem Deckendrallauslaß sichtbar ist, der in relativ hohen Räumen eingesetzt wird.In order to increase the color differences here, an edge strip 15 is chamfered from the bearing washer 6 after the grooves 11 and 12, which on the one hand prevents the bearing washer 6 from tilting after insertion into the outlet opening 3, but on the other hand an application area for the represents different color, so that the different coloration is visible from below even with a ceiling swirl outlet, which is used in relatively high rooms.
