Abstract
Description
- The present invention concerns a diffusor panel that is invisible, or in any case hardly visible, for delivering air in a room or other environment to be ventilated, heated or cooled, or for drawing it out from such an environment.
- Whilst it is relatively simple to completely hide from view the air delivery conduits of a ventilation, heating or air conditioning system for homes, offices or other closed environments, recessing them in walls, partitions or false ceilings, it has proven very difficult to hide the vents with which these conduits terminate and introduce air in the environments to be ventilated, heated or cooled.
- Some examples of such attempts to make vents that are hardly visible are described in publications
US5107755 orUS4135441 . Actually, however, these two examples, like many others of known vents, have not proven to be particularly effective, and the vents currently known, according to the authors of the present invention, are clearly visible and recognisable even at a not particularly careful or expert glance. - A purpose of the present invention is therefore to provide a vent for wall-mounted air conduits of ventilation, heating or air conditioning systems, which during operation is less visible than known vents and hides better than these in the surrounding environment.
- Such a purpose is achieved, in a first aspect of the present invention, with a method having the features according to
claim 1.
In a second aspect of the invention, such a purpose is accomplished with a vent assembly having the features according to claim 8.
Further features of the invention are the object of the dependent claims. - The advantages that can be obtained with the present invention will become clearer, to those skilled in the art, from the following detailed description of a particular non-limiting embodiment, illustrated with reference to the following schematic figures.
-
-
Figure 1 shows a side view, partially in section according to a plane perpendicular to the direction I, of an air casing according to a first particular embodiment of the invention, inserted so as to be concealed in a wall; -
Figure 2 shows a first partially exploded perspective view of the air casing ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 3 shows a second perspective view of the air casing ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 4 shows a side view of an air casing according to a second particular embodiment of the invention, in section according to a plane perpendicular to the air casing itself and inserted so as to be concealed in a wall. -
Figures 1-3 relate to a vent assembly according to a first particular embodiment of the invention, which can be used to make a concealed vent. The vent assembly is indicated with theoverall reference numeral 1, can be used in systems for ventilating, heating or air conditioning homes, offices, places of work or other environments, and preferably comprises anair casing 3 in turn comprising: - a box-
shaped body 5 in which thewall opening 7 is obtained, which can be a simple opening without grids, fins and deflectors to diverge the exiting airflow; in this case, the box-shaped body 5 can form therewithin asimple vacuum chamber 6, approximately shaped as a parallelepiped and without grids, fins and deflectors projecting inside it to diverge and direct the airflow; thevacuum chamber 6 is in fluid communication with thewall opening 7; - a
diffusor panel 9 arranged for fixing to the box-shaped body 5; and - one or more fixing brackets or
spacers 11 arranged for fixing thediffusor panel 9 to the wall opening 7. - The
air casing 3 can for example be approximately overall parallelepiped, cylindrical, funnel shaped or even shaped like a bag or tank that is more or less inflated or widened with respect to the ventilation conduits that supply it, and can thus also be called "plenum" in the current technical jargon. The air casing can for example be oblong and theventilation conduits 15 can connect for example transversally to it (Figures 2 ,4 ). - Such shapes ensure that the airflow coming from the
conduits 15 expands and slows down in thecasing 3, reducing the noisiness of the flow that contacts thedistributors 9 and making such a flow more even between various vents. - The box-
shaped body 5 can for example be made from sheet metal or plastic.
Preferably, the box-shaped body 5 is provided with aflange 13 that surrounds the wall opening 7, facilitating the mounting of the opening flush with the wall P, which can for example be made from masonry, plasterboard or wood and delimits the room or other environment in which thevent assembly 1 must be installed. Theflange 13 is indeed provided to be flush-mounted on the wall P of the room. - The
fixing spacers 11 can be obtained, for example, from a suitably bent metal sheet (Figure 3 ) or through injection moulding if made from plastic material. Thespacers 11 can be provided withsuitable springs 21 through which they snap-fasten to the box-shaped body 5, and more specifically to the edges of the wall opening 7. - According to an aspect of the invention, the
fixing spacers 11 are provided to fix and maintain thediffusor panel 9 in front of the wall opening 7 concealing it and allowing the air coming from the ventilation conduit to come out from the wall opening and be introduced in the environment, also ensuring that at least the perimeter edges of thediffusor panel 9 project from the surface of the wall which delimits the environment for a maximum distance D comprised between 0.1 centimetres and ten centimetres. - The distance D by which at least the perimeter edges, and more preferably the entire surface of the
diffusor panel 9, project from the wall P is intended to be measured point by point moving ideally along the perimeter of theopening 7 according to a direction perpendicular to the wall P itself. Preferably, the distance D is no more than four centimetres; more preferably, the distance D is no more than 1.2 centimetres; more preferably, it is no more than 0.9 centimetres; even more preferably it is comprised between 0.2-0.8 centimetres and even more preferably between 0.4-0.6 centimetres. - The values of the distance D within the range of 0.6-0.8 centimetres have proven particularly optimal as a compromise between avoiding excessive load losses and noisiness and making the vent hardly visible for example if located in a room at a height of about 2-3.5 metres from the floor.
- Higher values of the distance D, for example 10 centimetres, are particularly useful for vents positioned at great heights.
- The
spacers 11 also prevent thepanel 9 from coming too close to the wall P when the vent operates in suction, with consequent throttling of the airflow.Reference numeral 12 inFigure 1 indicates an opening obtained in thefixing bracket 11 that allows the air to come out from theair casing 3 or to flow into it. Like in the embodiment of the attached Figures, thespacers 11 can rest on theflange 13, or in any case refer to it to set the distance D. - The
spacers 11 can fix to the box-shaped body 5 to maintain the diffusor panel at a distance D comprised in the aforementioned ranges of values from theflange 13 if the latter is present, or at the aforementioned distance D from the perimeter edges of the wall opening 7 in the absence of theflange 13. Like in the embodiment of the attached Figures, the perimeter edges of the wall opening 7 can lie substantially in a plane. - The perimeter of the
diffusor panel 9 ideally contains the outer parameter of the wall opening 7. Thediffusor panel 9 can advantageously be shaped like a flat panel, for example rectangular: such a shape has proven particularly suitable for masking the presence of thediffusor panel 9 when mounted on flat walls P of rooms or other parts of buildings or environments, making it invisible or in any case hardly visible. In this case, preferably the wall opening 7 also has a rectangular perimeter. Thediffusor panel 9 can for example be made from sheet metal or plastic material. - The wall opening 7 and the
diffusor panel 9 can for example have a length comprised between 20-180 cm, or between 40-70 cm, and a height comprised between 5-50 cm or between 20-40 cm; clearly, in order to conceal theopening 7, the length and the height of the latter will be lower, even if only by a few centimetres, with respect to the length and height of thepanel 9, respectively. - Advantageously, the
diffusor panel 9, in order to better blend into the surrounding environment, is configured to be able to be painted with the same paint - for example water-based - that covers the wall P of the building. For this purpose, thediffusor panel 9 can be subjected to suitable surface treatments in order to facilitate the adhesion of the wall paint. - The
air casing 3 is fluidically connected to the rest of the ventilation, heating or air conditioning system through theconduits 15 which, as stated, preferably are not visible as they are recessed into a wall, partition or other part of the building in which theair casing 3 is also recessed in a concealed manner. Theair casing 3 can connect to theconduits 15 through suitable connectingunions 17, inside each of which there can possibly bebutterfly valves 19 to adjust the airflow in thecasing 3. The air coming from upstream through theconduits 17 fills thevacuum chamber 6 inside the box-shaped body 5 and from here comes out from the wall opening 7. - The above values of the distance D with which the diffusor panel protrudes from the installation wall P have proven optimal to conceal the panel itself from view, or in any case make it hardly visible, at the same time allowing a suitable outflow of air without excessive load losses and noisiness.
- Advantageously, each ventilation conduit 15 inserts into the box-shaped body with an inclination α, with respect to the surface of the
diffusor panel 9, equal to or less than 45° (Figures 3 ,4 ). More preferably the inclination α is equal to or less than 30°, even more preferably it is equal to or less than 15° and even more preferably equal to or less than 5°. In the case ofFigure 1 α = 0°. Such inclination values considerably reduce the noisiness of the airflow coming out from the vents and that contacts thevarious diffusor panels 9, making thevent assembly 1 particularly suitable for installation in homes, offices, hospitals, shops and other buildings used as homes. - Again to reduce the noisiness of the airflow coming out from the vents, advantageously the section available for the passage of air in the intermediate sections of the
air casing 3, like for example the through section at the ideal plane B-B (Figure 1 ) is equal to or greater than 1.5 times, preferably equal to or greater than two times, more preferably equal to or greater than three times and even more preferably equal to or greater than four times the overall passage section of the air through all of theconduits 15 or the connectingunions 17. - Such passage sections through the
conduits 15 or theunions 17 can be obtained for example at the ideal section plane A-A. - Again to reduce the noisiness of the airflow coming out from the vents, advantageously the overall section available for the passage of air at or close to the outlet section of the
air casing 3, a section obtained at or close to the ideal plane C-C, is equal to or greater than 1.5 times, and preferably equal to or greater than two times the overall passage section of the air through all of theconduits 15 or the connectingunions 17. The ideal plane C-C can for example contain the delivery opening of theair casing 3. - A sufficient gradualness of the expansion in the
casing 3 of the air coming from theconduits 15 also contributes to decreasing the noisiness of the vent. For this purpose, the outlet of theconduits 15 and of thevents 17 in the air casing is located at a distance DM from the closest edge of the wall opening 7 (Figure 1 ). - The embodiments described above can undergo different modifications and variations without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, the
diffusor panel 9 and thewall opening 7 can also have non-rectangular perimeters, and can also be non-planar in shape, for example concave, convex or corrugated, even if highly preferably bevelled. - Instead of fixing to the
flange 13 or other portion of the box-shaped body 5, the fixing brackets/spacers can fix or rest directly against the wall P of the room or other environment to be ventilated, heated or air conditioned. Moreover, all of the details can be replaced by technically equivalent elements. For example, the materials used, as well as the sizes, can be whatever according to the technical requirements. It should be understood that an expression of the type "A comprises B, C, D" or "A is formed from B, C, D" also comprises and describes the particular case in which "A consists of B, C, D". The examples and lists of possible variants of the present application should be considered as non-exhaustive lists.
