Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the base plate is assigned at least one lighting device and / or a smoke detector and / or motion detector and / or loudspeaker.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a housing is placed on the base plate, which, for example, surrounds the lighting device.
  • a cooling device is to be inserted into such a housing, which has corresponding connections for supplying and removing a cooling medium.
  • the source outlet according to the invention can be used instead of a cooling ceiling.
  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • a source outlet R 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.
  • 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.
  • corresponding outlet openings or perforated plates can be provided in addition to the end walls 4, 5 of the lighting device 2.
  • the source outlet and in particular the base plate 1 round, square but also elongated.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the lighting device 2 of the source outlet R is inserted into the base plate 1 in a height-adjustable manner.
  • 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.
  • an air guide jet 17, 18, shown as arrows is discharged into a room through the obliquely positioned side walls 6, 7.
  • the guide jet 17, 18 can be applied horizontally to a ceiling.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a swelling and swirling discharge of air flows can be regulated.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7. Another exemplary embodiment of a source outlet R 2 is described in FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • 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.
  • slot slides 27 are of a conventional type. They have a large number of lamellae lying next to one another and not shown in detail here.
