Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pouvant camoufler, protéger contre le vandalisme et les corps étrangers, une unité extérieure de climatisation sans gêner son bon fonctionnement lors de son installation sur site, ceci afin de l'harmoniser avec son environnement architectural.The present invention relates to a device which can camouflage, protect against vandalism and foreign bodies, one unit air conditioning without interfering with its proper functioning during installation on site, this in order to harmonize it with its environment architectural.
L'aspect inesthétique et industriel des unités extérieures de climatisation de série déjà existant, détonne dans un cadre architectural actuel ou à venir. Le risque de vandalisme et d'introduction de corps étrangers sur des climatiseurs est constant sur un site . Ces aspects négatifs handicap le bon développement économique des installations de climatiseurs. A ce jour il n'existe pas un accessoire standard pouvant améliorer rapidement ces inconvénients.The unsightly and industrial aspect of the outdoor units of already existing standard air conditioning, detonates in an architectural setting current or future. The risk of vandalism and the introduction of bodies foreigners on air conditioners is constant on one site. These negative aspects handicap the good economic development of the installations of air conditioners. To date there is no standard accessory that can quickly improve these drawbacks.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Sa principale caractéristique est d'être un cache qui sera standardisé, ayant des courbes et une gamme de coloris différents, il pourra se fixer facilement et être en harmonie avec l'environnement en question dans la plupart des cas.The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages. Its main characteristic is to be a cache which will standardized, having different curves and a range of colors, it can be easily fixed and be in harmony with the environment by question in most cases.
La caractéristique de ce « cache standard » est d'être un ensemble de tôles ajourées légères qui une fois assemblée entre elles et rattachées par des équerres de fixation sur le support mural de l'unité extérieure de climatisation ou sur ses pattes, forment un seul objet aux formes harmonieuses.The characteristic of this "standard cache" is to be a set of light perforated sheets which once assembled together and attached by fixing brackets to the unit's wall support air conditioning or on its legs, form a single object with harmonious forms.
L'assemblage de ces tôles représentera un temps de montage rapide (moins de 30 minutes) dont la technique de montage sera assez simple pour un technicien averti.The assembly of these sheets will represent an assembly time fast (less than 30 minutes) whose assembly technique will be fairly simple for an experienced technician.
Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation :
- les tôles ajourées de par leurs perforations adaptées, ne permettront pas au regard de l'homme de voir le climatiseur à moins de 1 mètre de distance du cache.
- les perforations des tôles laissant l'aspiration et le refoulement de l'air s'effectuer aisément, assurant le bon fonctionnement du climatiseur.
- la tôle frontale du cache permet de recouvrir complètement la façade du climatiseur et une partie des côtés ; ses angles peuvent être arrondis.
- les tôles de côtés rejoignent la tôle frontale recouvrant complètement les côtés du climatiseur.
- les tôles du dessus et du dessous recouvrent complètement le climatiseur tout en laissant un espace avec la tôle frontale pour favoriser la circulation d'air.
- la matière des tôles et des équerres peut être en métal traité inoxydable ou en matière plastique d'une épaisseur de 0.5 à 6 mm.
- les bras des équerres de fixation de la tôle frontale peuvent être suffisamment longs et avoir plusieurs perforations permettant un choix de passage pour la visserie de fixation avec la tôle frontale et le support mural du climatiseur.
- the perforated sheets, through their adapted perforations, will not allow human gaze to see the air conditioner less than 1 meter away from the cover.
- perforations in the sheets allowing the air to be drawn in and out easily, ensuring the proper functioning of the air conditioner.
- the front panel of the cover makes it possible to completely cover the front of the air conditioner and part of the sides; its angles can be rounded.
- the side panels join the front panel completely covering the sides of the air conditioner.
- the top and bottom sheets completely cover the air conditioner while leaving a space with the front sheet to promote air circulation.
- the material of the sheets and brackets can be in treated stainless steel or in plastic material with a thickness of 0.5 to 6 mm.
- the arms of the front plate fixing brackets can be long enough and have several perforations allowing a choice of passage for the fixing screws with the front plate and the wall mount of the air conditioner.
Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention :
En référence à ces dessins :
A partir d'une distance(D) tel qu'en figure 2, variable de 5 à 30 cm selon les
différents modèles d'unités extérieures de climatisation, l'assemblage se
déroulera ainsi :With reference to these drawings:
From a distance (D) as in Figure 2, variable from 5 to 30 cm depending on the different models of outdoor air conditioning units, the assembly will proceed as follows:
Les deux équerres (E) sont fixées au support mural du climatiseur en cas d'installation sur un mur tel qu'en figure 1,2,3, ou bien sur les pattes du climatiseur quand celui-ci est posé au sol.The two brackets (E) are fixed to the wall support of the air conditioner when installed on a wall as in figure 1,2,3, or on the legs of the air conditioner when it is placed on the ground.
La grande tôle frontale 1 est fixée grâce à ses perforations, sur
les deux équerres (E) en façade, positionnée en fonction d'une hauteur (H)
tel qu'en figure 3, variable de 1 à 25 cm selon les différents modèles de
climatiseurs.The large
Les tôles de côtés 2, 3 figure 2, sont rattachées par des vis auto-taraudeuses
(V1) sur la grande tôle frontale 1 tel qu'en figure 3, ceci
favorisant un démontage rapide en cas d'intervention technique ou de
maintenance sur le climatiseur qui s'effectue en grande partie sur le côté
droit de l'appareil.
Les tôles du dessous et dessus 4, 5 figure 1, sont également rattachées par
des vis auto-taraudeuses (V2) sur la tôle frontalel et sur les tôles de
côtés 2, 3 tel qu'en figure 3.The
The bottom and
Selon une variante non illustrée, une tôle arrière identique à la
tôle frontale 1, pourra être rajoutée et rattachée à l'ensemble par deux
autres équerres fixées de la même manière mais vers l'arrière, lors d'une
installation d'unité extérieure de climatisation visible de derrière.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le cache aura des dimensions de l'ordre de
100 cm de largeur, 75 cm de hauteur et 50 cm de profondeur.According to a variant not illustrated, a rear plate identical to the
Selon une variante non illustrée, le cache par sa rigidité pourra en coiffant un climatiseur, le protéger du vandalisme et de l'introduction de corps étrangers .According to a variant not illustrated, the cover by its rigidity may protecting an air conditioner from vandalism and the introduction of foreign bodies .
Selon une variante non illustrée, le cache pourra le cas échéant servir de support pour un marquage publicitaire sans obturation des trous.According to a variant not illustrated, the cover may if necessary serve as a support for an advertising marking without filling the holes.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à être un cache de camouflage, de protection contre le vandalisme et les corps étrangers, pour des unités extérieures de climatisation, de réfrigération et de tout autre appareil industriel nécessitant un cache.The device according to the invention is particularly intended to be a cover for camouflage, protection against vandalism and bodies foreigners, for outdoor air conditioning, refrigeration and any other industrial device requiring a cache.
