  • the invention is based, the generic fastening device the task so that the filter-fan units and the filter can be easily installed from the clean room can without the area above the fastening device a correspondingly high free space must be available.
  • the fastening device In the fastening device according to the invention are used for support the filter-fan units on the support rails Support parts used, which are advantageously formed strip-shaped.
  • the support parts are designed as support legs that on the Rest the support rails and a transversely protruding support leg exhibit. It is under the weight of the filter-fan units on the underside of the abutment, which by far the the cantilevered legs of the support rails are opposite.
  • the support parts can be laterally between the legs and Insert abutments. It is therefore not necessary to use the support parts to be inserted from one end of the support rail. Thereby problem-free assembly is possible.
  • the filter-fan units are lifted from the clean room through the grid opening.
  • the support parts by a slight inclination between the horizontal legs and the abutments in their Installation position used.
  • the raised filter-fan unit can then be lowered again until they are directly or indirectly on the Support parts is supported. They protrude into the area of the grid opening, so that the filter-fan unit is supported securely.
  • the filter-fan unit only has to go this far the locking opening are raised up that the support parts can be placed on the support rails. This will in Area above the fastening device no high installation space needed. Its height only needs to be slightly larger than the height of the filter-fan unit and optionally the filter underneath his.
  • the drawing shows part of a clean room ceiling with an inventive Fastening device.
  • the clean room ceiling partially shown in the drawing has one frame-shaped ceiling construction 1 with perpendicular intersecting Profile rails 2, which in a known manner by (not shown) Nodes are interconnected.
  • the profile rails 2 and the nodes delimit rectangular or square Installation openings 3 for filter-fan units 4. They are in to be described, supported on the ceiling structure 1. Since the filter-fan units are known per se do not describe them in more detail.
  • Below the filter fan units 4 is a filter 5 in a known manner through which the clean air sucked in by the unit 4 before entering the Clean room 6 must flow.
  • the filters 5 are also known and are therefore not described in more detail.
  • the ceiling structure 1 can be suspended from the ceiling of the clean room his. But it is also possible to the ceiling structure 1 to support the floor of the clean room 6.
  • the profile parts 7 are advantageously in one piece with the profile rails 2 and / or the nodes educated.
  • the profile rails 2 each have two at the same height lying support legs 8, 9 through which the respective Installation opening 3 is limited.
  • horizontal support legs 8, 9 each a support bar 10, 11 placed. It sticks out over the respective support leg 8, 9 into the installation opening 3.
  • the support bar 10 has on a longitudinal edge, 11 an upward edge 12, which is in the installed position on the underside of an abutment 13 of the respective Profile rail 2 rests.
  • the abutments 13 are at a distance above the support legs 8, 9 and run parallel to them. Since they are only for support serve the support strips 10, 11, they are transverse to the longitudinal direction of the profile rail 2 shorter than that Support leg 8, 9.
  • the free edge 14 of the abutment 13 is angled in the direction of the support legs 8, 9 and forms a backup for the respective support bar 10, 11. Through the angled edge 14 is prevents the support bar 10, 11 transverse to it Unintentionally releases longitudinally from the abutment 13.
  • the support bar 10, 11 is at a distance from the edge 12 a parallel to him web 15 on the Centering the filter 5 in the installed position.
  • the Web 15 can be the same height as the free edge 12 of the support bar 10, 11 have. In the installation position Web 15 approximately at the level of the free edge of the support bar 8, 9.
  • the filter 5 lies with a frame 16 surrounding it on the respective support bar 10, 11.
  • the cross-sectional area of the filter 5 is smaller than the cross-sectional area the respective installation opening 3. Since the Support strips 10, 11, however, via the support legs 8, 9 protrude into the free cross section of the installation opening 3, the filter 5 is reliably placed on the support strips 10, 11 supported.
  • the webs 15 of the support strips 10, 11 serve to center the respective filter 5 in the Installation opening 3.
  • the filter-fan units 4 have a smaller cross-sectional area than the respective one Installation opening 3.
  • the filter-fan units 4 are supported by the filter 5 on the support strips 10, 11.
  • the abutment 13 of the rails 2 can support the support strips 10, 11 under the weight of the filter 5 and the filter-fan units 4 do not tilt. Thereby are the units 4 and the filters 5 in the installed position perfectly secured. Also prevent the downward free edges 14 of the Abutment 13 that the support strips 10, 11 transverse to the Profile rails 2 can be moved.
  • the support strips 10, 11 extend at least over part of the length of the respective profile rail 2. It enough to support the filter-fan units 4 and the filter 5 off when the support strips 10, 11 only over part of the length of the profile rails 2 extend. On all four edges, the Installation opening 3 such support strips provided, so that an optimal support of the filter-fan units 4 with the filters 5 is guaranteed. in principle it suffices, only on two opposite one another Edges of the installation opening 3 corresponding To provide support strips 10, 11. To tilt the units in this case, the support ledges should be avoided 10, 11 formed correspondingly long.
  • the support strips 10, 11 can also be used as elbows be formed in the corner areas of the installation opening 3 are arranged. In this case the support takes place of the units 4 with the filters 5 in the corners the respective installation opening 3. It is also possible such angular support strips 10, 11 together to be used with appropriately elongated support strips.
  • the ceiling construction is first 1 mounted that a grid ceiling with the corresponding installation openings 3 forms. Subsequently can the filter-fan units 4 with the filters 5 can be installed from the clean room 6 by the installation openings 3 are lifted upwards. Subsequently the support strips 10, 11 on the support legs 8, 9 of the rails 2 placed so that their upward edges 12 in the in the drawing shown way on the underside of the abutment 13 of the profile rails 2 rest. The downward free edges 14 of the abutment 13 are proportional short, so that the support strips 10, 11th due to a slight inclination in their installation position can be brought. Then the Units 4 and the filters 5 lowered until the filters 5 with its frame 16 on the support leg 8, 9 projecting parts of the support strips 10, 11 sit on.
  • the frame 16 for the filter 5 has in the two in the drawing left filter 5 at the top of a profile 17 for a seal 18. Sitting on it the unit 4. The frame 16 sits with its lower one Edge directly on the support strips 10, 11.
  • Spacers 23 projecting downwards attached, which are sleeve-shaped and a have continuous threaded bore 24.
  • the spacers 23 are distributed over the ceiling structure 1 arranged.
  • the support strips 11 are in the area outside the profile rails 2 with through openings for Provide threaded bolts 25 in the threaded bore from above 24 of the corresponding spacer 23 is screwed become.
  • the head of the threaded bolt 25 lies advantageously sunk in the support strips 11, so that the frame 16 of the filter 5 without interference from Threaded bolts 25 can be placed.
  • the spacers 23 are firmly against the underside of the support strips 11 pulled.
  • the threaded holes 24 of the spacers 23 are from below further threaded bolts 26 screwed with which on the Bottom of the spacers 23 attached to the cover 22 becomes.
  • the spacers 23 are closely adjacent to the edge 27 within the respective perforated plate 22. Im
  • the area of the threaded bolt 26 is the threaded bore 24 the spacer 23 is sealed in a suitable manner.
  • the perforated plates 22 can simply mounted with the threaded bolt 26 and if necessary can also be dismantled.
  • the filter-fan units 4 with the filters 5 from Clean room 6 can be assembled.
  • the support strips 10, 11 ensure that in all grid openings 3 the filter-fan units are mounted from below can be.
  • the support strips 10, 11 provide simple, Components inexpensively manufactured, so that the Erection of the clean room ceiling easily and inexpensively can be carried out.
  • the individual filter-fan units 4 can be disassembled independently become. When assembling and disassembling the filter fan units 4 with the filters 5 only raised so far be that the flat support strips 10, 11 in hooked in the manner described in the rails 2 or can be posted.
