Abstract

In the case of a source outlet for introducing air into a room, from a base plate (1, 1.1, 1.2) in which at least one outlet opening (10, 11) is provided, the base plate (1) should have at least one lighting device (2) and / or Smoke detectors (33) and / or motion detectors (34) and / or loudspeakers (35) can be assigned.

Description

The present invention relates to a source outlet for introducing air into a room, from a base plate in which at least one outlet opening is provided.

Spring outlets are now mostly installed on or in the floor, i. that is, directly in the lounge area. This is expensive and takes up space.

Source outlets in a wide variety of shapes and designs are known on the market. They are used to introduce air into a room without causing major drafts. A disadvantage of the source outlets is that these flows only allow in very specific directions and are difficult to control.

Another disadvantage is that with conventional source outlets, an air flow is difficult to regulate and can be adjusted in certain directions.

In modern buildings, a large number of facilities, such as outlets, lighting systems, safety and warning devices, such as, for example, motion or smoke detectors, and loudspeakers or the like are provided in order to meet today's requirements. This requires many companies that are responsible for the various tasks, such as installing the ventilation or air conditioning of the building, for lighting and for security. Therefore, a multitude of unnecessary assembly work is performed twice to connect the individual devices, which causes considerable costs. This is a major disadvantage in today's market, as the high assembly costs of many companies in the above mentioned Areas of construction costs are too high.

The invention has for its object the above. Eliminate disadvantages and create a ceiling source outlet, which allows the air to be directed in certain directions. The assembly costs should also be reduced.

To achieve this object, the base plate is assigned at least one lighting device and / or a smoke detector and / or motion detector and / or loudspeaker.

In the present invention, outlet openings are preferably punched into a base plate as perforated plates, a base lamp being additionally associated with a lamp. This lamp is preferably inserted in the center of the base plate and can be moved vertically to the base plate. Due to the preferably obliquely inclined side surfaces of the lamp, when the lamp device is moved vertically downward, air outlet openings are created through which an air guide jet can be discharged.

If the lighting device is moved upwards in the direction of the base plate, the air outlet opening is minimized so that a volume flow can be regulated. The emerging volume flow is deflected horizontally by the inclined side walls of the housing of the lighting device.

If this is not desired, then air outlet devices of a conventional type can be connected upstream of the outlet openings or the perforated plates. These consist, for example, of pivotable slats, slider slides, profiled air steering elements or the like. They deflect an air flow downwards, but also laterally inwards or outwards, with each air steering device being able to deflect or adjust an airflow separately. This setting can be done manually or automatically.

A source outlet is formed here, which allows a wide variety of options for air control and air routing.

So that as many different source outlets as possible are used, the base plate can be square, rectangular, round or otherwise. The lighting device is preferably arranged in the center of the base plate, the outlet openings being arranged next to it or around it.

Instead of or in addition to the lighting device, motion or smoke detectors or loudspeakers can also be provided in the base plate, these elements being surrounded by outlet openings in the manner described above. Air deflection devices are also provided behind these outlet openings, which can deliver a volume flow into a room either straight downwards or in any way, even up to the horizontal.

Another important advantage of the present invention is that all elements, such as loudspeakers, motion detectors or smoke detectors, can also be provided in the base plate and create a source outlet which can be used universally. Many operations, such as the laying of lines and the like, are saved by a source outlet. Only one company and only one source outlet is required to install ventilation, sound, lighting, etc.

Additional perforated sheet strips, which can be placed in front of the outlet openings mentioned above, also serve to influence the air flow emerging from the base plate. E.g. These perforated metal strips can be curved laterally, so that an air stream can swell out, for example towards the lighting device, and ensure faster heat dissipation here.

These additional perforated metal strips should be connected to the base plate via holding rails. It is provided according to the invention to design this connection so that the perforated metal strips on the side, e.g. are movable in the direction of a lighting device.

Furthermore, it is provided that a housing is placed on the base plate, which, for example, surrounds the lighting device. According to the invention, a cooling device is to be inserted into such a housing, which has corresponding connections for supplying and removing a cooling medium. As a result, the source outlet according to the invention can be used instead of a cooling ceiling. It is possible to use the cooling device designed as a cooling baffle to distribute cooled supply air over a large area over a room area. This makes it possible to supply the air to the room without drafts. The entire room is supplied with fresh, cool air so that the room has a pleasant climate.

The disadvantages of the cooling ceilings, which lie primarily in the fact that cooling ceilings are not functional without additional ventilation, are eliminated by the present invention.

The present source outlet allows the supply air cooled by the cooling device not to fall vertically downward onto a relatively small area, so that a heat source, e.g. a PC that pushes the cool air introduced away from the heat source. This cool air then moves somewhere completely uncontrolled into a corner of the room. These draft phenomena and, above all, the disadvantage that only a small part of the space is supplied with fresh air are avoided by the swelling outlet according to the invention.

With the source outlet and the cooling device, a combination outlet is created that can supply the entire room area with fresh air. It should also be emphasized that it is easy to install, since it is not necessary to commission different assembly companies to install the lights, ventilation, cooling equipment, smoke detectors, motion detectors or loudspeakers.

Another great advantage is that the cooling device is supplied with a cooling medium, wherein the inflow amount of the cooling medium can be easily determined by a valve and a thermostat, so that any desired temperature is reached without major problems. The medium is preferably stored in containers so that the heated medium can also be supplied to this container. This container can then in turn be connected to a heat pump that generates hot water and cools the cooling water again so that it can be recycled.

According to FIG. 1, a source outlet R according to the invention has a base plate 1, which is rectangular in the present exemplary embodiment. A lighting device 2 is preferably inserted in the center of this base plate 1. The lighting device 2 has a housing 3 made of end walls 4, 5 and side walls 6, 7, which are connected to a cover 8. At least one lamp 9, in particular fluorescent tube, is inserted into the housing 3 of the lamp device 2, which is open at the bottom. The inner surfaces of the end walls 4, 5 or side walls 6, 7, not numbered here, can be designed as reflectors. It is also conceivable here to use other lights, for example light bulbs, halogen lights or the like.

In addition to the lighting device 2, outlet openings 10, 11 are formed in the base plate 1. Supply air flows into a room through these outlet openings 10, 11. Perforated plates 12, 13 in the base plate 1 form the outlet openings 10, 11, on the one hand to swell a flow and on the other hand to act as a screen.

However, it is also within the scope of the present invention that corresponding outlet openings or perforated plates can be provided in addition to the end walls 4, 5 of the lighting device 2. Furthermore, it is contemplated to make the source outlet and in particular the base plate 1 round, square but also elongated. In the case of a round design of the source outlet, the lighting device is adapted to the shape of the source outlet or the base plate 1. Then the outlet opening or perforated plate is arranged in a ring around the lamp.

FIG. 2 shows how the lighting device 2 is inserted into the base plate 1 of the source outlet R, the side walls 6, 7 of which are directed inwards. An outer and peripheral edge 14 of the base plate 1 lies against a ceiling or wall, not shown here. In this case, the outlet openings 10, 11 or the perforated plate 12, 13 point downward. The lighting device 2 is also open at the bottom or can be provided by means of light deflection slats, not shown here. The housing 3 of the lighting device 2 is directed inwards, the side walls 6, 7 being inclined obliquely outwards, as shown in FIG. 2. In this position of the lighting device 2, air can flow through the perforated plates 12, 13 into a room.

According to the invention, the lighting device 2 of the source outlet R is inserted into the base plate 1 in a height-adjustable manner. In a further position of use according to FIG. 3, the lighting device 2 of the source outlet R is therefore extended downward and forms additional air outlet openings 15, 16, the size of which can be changed by moving the lighting device 2 downward in the double arrow direction x shown, since the side walls 6, 7 of the Luminous device 2 run at an angle. At the same time, an air guide jet 17, 18, shown as arrows, is discharged into a room through the obliquely positioned side walls 6, 7.

By means of this air guide jet 17, 18 and possibly also through lower peripheral edges 19, 20 of the housing 3 of the lighting device 2, the guide jet 17, 18 can be applied horizontally to a ceiling.

The larger the air outlet openings 15, 16, the greater the volume of air that can flow through these openings. In this respect, the air guide jet 17, 18 can be regulated in relation to the volume flow passing through the outlet openings 10, 11 of the perforated plates. A swelling effect of the air jet to be introduced into a room is supported.

In a further exemplary embodiment of a source outlet R _{1 of} the present invention according to FIG. 4, the air outlet devices 10, 11, which are arranged next to the lighting device 2 in the manner described above, are followed by air deflection devices 21, 22 on the inside. These can have a plurality of adjustable slats 23. These adjustable slats 23 have the effect that an air flow, for example, can be introduced directly vertically downward through the outlet openings 10, 11 into a surrounding space. In this case, the lighting device 2 just closes with the base plate 1. If an air flow to the right or to the left is desired, the corresponding slats 23 of the air steering device 21, 22 can be adjusted in a manual, electrical, mechanical or similar manner.

These slats 23 can also be directed inwards towards the lighting device 2, as is indicated in FIG. 5. An exact adjustment of the air flow to a point in the room is possible here. In addition, as described in FIG. 3, the lighting device 2 can be moved downward in the X direction shown, so that, as described above, the air guide jet 17, 18 shown as an arrow emerges from the source outlet R ₁ .

A swirling air flow can be achieved in that, for example, the fins 23 are aligned such that an air flow strikes the air guide jet 17, 18. Here, too, a swelling and swirling discharge of air flows can be regulated. Of course, the slats 23 can also be oriented obliquely outwards, in accordance with the direction of the air guide jet 17 or 18, in order to apply an exclusively horizontal flow to a ceiling.

Furthermore, the volume flow flowing through the air steering device 21, 22 can be deflected by the slats 24 connected downstream of the slats 23. These are preferably arranged at an angle of approximately 90 ^° to the slats 23.

Another exemplary embodiment of a source outlet R ₂ is described in FIGS. 6 and 7. There, as described above, the lighting device 2 is movably inserted into the base plate 1, air outlet devices 25, 26 being connected downstream of the outlet openings 10, 11 to the right and left of the lighting device 2. These have fins 23 which can deflect the air flow in accordance with the exemplary embodiments in FIGS. 4 and 5.

These slats 23 are followed by slot slides 27, which are of a conventional type. They have a large number of lamellae lying next to one another and not shown in detail here. These slit slides 27 can partially but completely close slots in a rear wall, as described in DE-OS 39 07 559.1. A swelling outlet R _{2 is created} , which can prevent a flow if the slit slides 27 close the outlet openings 10, 11 and the lighting device 2 the air outlet openings 15, 16.

E.g. if the slit slides 27 are only closed, on the other hand, if desired, air guide jets 17, 18 can be introduced into a room, which preferably lie against a ceiling.

However, these slit slides 27 also allow unilateral control. E.g. For example, only the right-hand air steering device 26 or only the left-hand air steering device 27 can be fully or partially opened by the slit slide 26 or 27 in order to introduce a flow into a room only to the right or only to the left. There are many possibilities for adjusting the air flows here.

In FIGS. 8 and 9, a source outlet R _{3 is provided} with profiled air steering elements 28, 29, which are connected downstream of the base plate 1 and in particular the outlet openings 10, 11 of the source outlet R ₃ . In this exemplary embodiment, these air-directing elements 28, 29 are directed outwards. Several such profiled air directing elements 28, 29 can be arranged in the area of the outlet opening 10, 11. These support and stabilize the air guide jet 17, 18, which is deflected along the side walls 6, 7 of the lighting device 2.

It is also conceivable, as is indicated in FIG. 9, to rotate these air steering elements 28, 29 via joints 30, so that an outflow of the air flow can be influenced and, if necessary, regulated. Furthermore, a plurality of such air directing elements 28, 29 can be connected downstream of the outlet openings 10 or 11.

As shown in FIG. 10, outlet openings 10, 11 of a further source outlet R _{4 can} be opened or partially or completely closed by means of slotted slides 31, 32.

Here, too, the slit slides 31, 32 have slats which are not numbered in detail and which are inclined and which can deflect an air flow in a very specific direction. With this source outlet R ₄ , the lighting device 2 can also be moved downward and an air guide jet can be deflected accordingly in the manner described above.

Instead of the lighting device 2 or following a lighting device 2; As shown in FIG. 11, a smoke detector 33 is inserted in the center of a base plate 1.1 of a source outlet R ₅ . According to the exemplary embodiments described above, in addition to the smoke detector 33, the outlet openings 10, 11 are formed in the base plate 1.1.

These can also be followed by air-directing devices 21, 22, the lamellae 23 of which, for example, are directed inwards in order to introduce an air flow into a room in a certain direction. These slats 23 can be adjusted in other directions in order to direct an air flow directly to specific locations in a room.

Furthermore, this source outlet R _5, in particular the outlet openings 10, 11, can also be followed by a wide variety of different air guiding devices, as may also be described above, in order to regulate or deflect a flow.

In a corresponding manner described above, a movement outlet 34 is assigned to a source outlet R ₆ according to FIG. 12 instead of the smoke detector 33. This sits in the middle of the base plate 1.1. Here, too, air outlet elements 28, 29, optionally supported via the joints 30, are connected upstream of the outlet openings 10, 11 in the manner described above.

In a last exemplary embodiment of the present invention according to FIG. 13, a loudspeaker 35 is preferably inserted centrally in a source outlet R ₇ and in particular in its base plate 1.2.

In this case, outlet openings with air guiding elements or the like can be arranged next to the loudspeaker 35 in a manner described several times in accordance with the source outlets R to R ₆ .

FIG. 14 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a swelling outlet R ₈ according to the invention. This also has a base plate 1, into which a lighting device 2 according to FIGS. 1 to 10 is inserted. Instead of the lights, only the corresponding plug connections 36.1 and 36.2 can be seen here. The corresponding lines 37 and a distributor 38 are also indicated.

According to FIG. 16, the strip-shaped perforated plates 12 and 13 are located in the base plate 1, to which air-directing elements 28 and 29 according to FIGS. 8 to 12 are placed. The air steering elements on the left of the lighting device 2 are movable, the air steering elements on the right of the lighting device 2 are fixed.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the perforated plates 12 and 13 are placed in front of the perforated plate strips 39.1 and 39.2, which are at least partially laterally bent upwards. These are fastened to corresponding holding rails 40.1 and 40.2, a guide slot 41 being provided which ensures that the perforated sheet strips 39.1 and 39.2 can be displaced laterally in relation to the lighting device 2.

The lighting device 2 is enclosed by a housing 42. An inlet connection 44 for supply air is inserted into a rear wall 43 of the housing 42. This inlet connector 44 opens into a chamber 45 which is delimited by a corresponding wall 46. In this chamber 45 there is a cooling device 47, which can also be referred to as a cooling baffle.

Cooling water is supplied to and removed from the cooling device 47 via corresponding lines 48.1 or 48.2.

A perforated sheet metal cage 48 is provided between the cooling device 47 and the inlet connector 44, which is used to distribute the supply air emerging from the inlet connector 44 via the cooling device 47 and into adjoining rooms 49.1 and 49.2.

The chamber 45 opens out above the lighting device 2 into an outlet chamber 50, in which the lighting device 2 and also the air steering elements 28 and 29 are seated. The outlet chamber 50 is separated from the secondary chambers 49.1 and 49.2 by a central wall 51.
