Description

The invention relates to a covering plate with a base body which has an upper side and an underside pointing away from the upper side.

The invention also relates to an installation rail for installing covering panels for a surface, for example a path, a wall or a ceiling, the installation rail being essentially channel-shaped and having a receiving opening for at least one covering panel.

The invention also relates to a laying system with at least one covering plate and at least one installation rail.

Covering plates, installation rails for covering plates and laying systems with covering plates and installation rails are generally known. So paving plates are often used for paths to provide a surface that can be walked on and / or driven by vehicles. In particular, the upper side of the covering plate can provide the surface. A path can be, for example, a footpath, a street, a parking lot, but also a platform, an area or in an airport terminal or in a trade fair hall. Alternatively, covering panels are used to provide wall or ceiling surfaces. The surface can be outside or inside a building. Installation rails can facilitate the positioning of the paving slabs during the construction of the path and provide space below the paving slab for the installation, for example of fluid lines. In the case of laying systems, the covering panels and the installation rails can be adapted to each other and to the path to be built.

If the covering plate is placed on a floor in order to provide the surface of the path, the covering plate can also be referred to as a floor plate. If the covering plate is attached to a wall in order to provide the surface of the wall, the covering plate can also be referred to as a wall plate. If the covering plate is attached to a ceiling in order to provide the surface of the ceiling, the covering plate can also be referred to as a ceiling plate.

For information or orientation, informational content or orientation instructions, such as texts, pictograms or arrows, are placed on surfaces upset. However, the information and orientation notes cannot simply be changed, so that the notes cannot be changed flexibly.

The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a surface that is easy to prepare or produce, with information or orientation instructions being able to be changed flexibly.

According to one possible embodiment, the laying system has a control system for manual or automatic control of the at least one lighting means. An advantage of this configuration can be that none further control systems that would have to be adapted to the laying system are required.

According to one possible embodiment, the control system is designed to operate selected or all lighting means together and / or individual lighting means separately. An advantage of this configuration can be that instructions or orientation aids can be changed flexibly.

In order to be able to install the laying system in a simple manner and to be able to provide instructions flexibly, the covering plate has light-permeable sections which can be selectively backlit by at least one illuminant in order to make the indications on the surface of the covering plate visible.

Independently of or together with the covering slab, the built-in rail and / or the laying system, the invention can solve the problem by a method for providing information on a surface, in particular a path, a wall or a ceiling, in which selected light-permeable sections of the floor can be selectively illuminated from below in order to display information or orientation aids, for example as text, symbols or pictograms, in a visible and flexible manner. An advantage of this solution can be that notes or orientation aids can be changed flexibly. To provide the information, individual or several translucent sections can be selectively backlit.

For example, the floor can be designed as a platform, that is, as a footpath. Of course, the floor can also be a surface of a driveway, for example a street or a parking lot.

The laying system according to the invention can be used to carry out the method. To provide the information, the laying system can selectively backlight individual of the light-permeable sections of the covering panel or several covering panels according to the invention.

For example, the laying system provides information on where the doors of a train that is about to stop at the platform will be located. For example, areas of the floor where the doors of the train will be located are backlit. Sections where no train doors are expected may not or may be different be backlit. In order to guide people to the entry areas where the doors are expected, sections of the floor and / or sections of the floor adjoining the entry areas can be backlit in a substantially arrow-shaped manner.

The notes can be position notes that mark the door positions of an expected train on the platform, for example. Alternatively, the train position can be displayed as an indication, for example if the train is shorter than the platform and / or trains of different lengths stop at a platform. In addition, information on the utilization of individual wagons or compartments of an expected train or a train that is already standing on the platform could be displayed. Warning notices could also be displayed, for example when a train is about to pass through the platform. The indications can be designed, for example, as arrows or as moving or changing and, for example, dynamic patterns which point to the expected stopping position of the train or the train doors. Furthermore, the information can be designed as different colors, for example, which represent the capacity utilization of a wagon or compartment, for example red for full, yellow for moderately full and green for empty, or colors which symbolize compartments of the first and second class. A warning can be given, for example, by at least one red and optionally pulsing or flashing cross. Several warning notices can be given, for example, along the edge of a platform, for example when a train is due to pass through a station.

The notices can also be other warning notices and, for example, simulate a pedestrian traffic light on the ground, so that selected surfaces alternately display several colors, such as red, yellow and green, or, as with a classic pedestrian traffic light, several surfaces each display one of the colors red, yellow and green. The information can be given as areas or, for example, as lines and / or crosses or arrows that light up statically or pulsate or flash.

Information on the runways or parking positions to be used for an aircraft can be given on a runway.

The distance from a target position, for example the distance from an airplane or a car to its optimal parking position, can also be used as an indication are displayed. Indications of different distances can be given by different flashing frequencies.

The selective backlighting of individual sections of the floor can be adapted to the respective circumstances. For example, the boarding areas can be adapted to different trains and / or trains that stop at different positions.

The train can communicate the positions of the train doors directly or indirectly to the laying system, for example by the train transmitting the distances between the train doors and the train, the laying system or an external system determining the stopping position of the train on the platform.

Alternatively, routes to destinations other than the boarding areas can be displayed. Thus, routes by person can be displayed flexibly for each of the persons, for example with a color assigned to each of the persons or the routes. If there are people on one of the specified routes, this route can be backlit in the predetermined color. Other routes can be backlit differently.

The person can, for example, carry a data carrier that can be read out by the laying system and whose data represent the person or the route and can be evaluated by the laying system.

The routes can be, for example, routes in a city center, at a trade fair or in a parking garage or on a parking lot in order to guide vehicles to free parking spaces or to an exit, or people to their parked vehicles.

Several tiles can be used in combination to give larger indications or to create large-area patterns. "Large" means at least larger than a covering plate.

Notes can be given in a controlled manner, for example time or event-controlled. An event can be a sensor signal, the achievement of at least a predetermined weight, a predetermined number of people, the triggering of a light sensor, the triggering of a temperature sensor, etc. Sensor signals the Reaching different thresholds can result in different clues.

The features of the exemplary embodiments described below can be combined independently, as has already been explained with regard to the embodiments.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the facing plate 1 according to the invention schematically in a top or plan view. The facing plate 1 has a base body 2 with an upper side 3 pointing out of the plane of the drawing and an underside 4 opposite the upper side 3 and pointing into the plane of the drawing. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the facing plate 1 has an essentially square shape. The covering plate 1 can, however, also be shaped differently and, for example, rectangular, polygonal with precisely, more or less than four corners or also round, oval or irregularly shaped. Lateral sides 5 - 8 of the base body 2 connect its top 3 with its bottom 4. The lateral sides 5 - 8 can run perpendicular to the top 3. Alternatively, at least one of the lateral sides 5-8 can form an angle with the upper side 3 which is smaller than 270 °.

In the installed state of the covering plate 1, the upper side 3 of the base body 2 can provide a surface of a path, for example a walkway or driveway.

The base body 2 has at least one light-permeable section and, in the exemplary embodiment, FIG Figure 1 a total of six light-permeable sections 9-14. The base body 2 can have more or less than six and for example two, three, four, five, seven, eight, nine or between ten and twenty or even more light-permeable sections.

At least one or all of the light-permeable sections 9-14 extend from the upper side 3 through the main body 2. Preferably, one or all of the light-permeable sections 9-14 extend perpendicular to the upper side 3 through the main body 2.

The at least one light-permeable section 9-14 can be shaped as desired and, for example, curved along the top side 3. In the embodiment of Figure 1 however, the light-permeable sections 9-14 are straight and run along imaginary rays away from their common point of intersection. The point of intersection can be arranged at a distance from selected or from all of the light-transmissive sections 9-14. In each case three of the light-permeable sections 9, 10, 11 and / or 12, 13, 14 can be arranged to run at an angle between 20 ° and 60 ° and, for example, at an angle of 45 °. A central light-permeable section 10, 13 can be flanked by two light-permeable sections 9, 11 or 12, 14. The light-permeable sections 9, 12 and / or 11, 14 can extend at an angle to one another which is between 60 ° and 120 ° and, for example, 90 °.

To connect the covering plate 1 to a control system of a laying system, the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 13 shows connecting lines 15, 16, 17 which protrude through the lateral side 6 into the covering plate 1. The number of connection lines can be greater or less than three, depending on the electrical or electronic requirements.

Figure 2 shows the embodiment of Figure 1 in a schematic perspective view and with a lighting means 20.

The covering plate 1 has a receiving trough 21 for the illuminant 20 on its underside 4. The receiving trough 21 opens away from the top 3. The light-permeable sections 9-14 extend from the top 3 to the receiving trough 21.

In the embodiment of Figure 2 the receiving trough 21 is provided by a receiving shell 22 inserted into the base body 2. Alternatively, the receiving trough 21 can, however, also be provided without the receiving shell 22 and in particular by the base body 2.

As in the exemplary embodiment of FIG Figure 2 be shown and provided with a mounting shell 23. The mounting shell 23 can be used together with the lighting means 20 in the receiving trough 21. One side of the mounting shell 23 which, when the mounting shell 23 is inserted into the receiving cavity 21, faces into the receiving cavity 21, can be designed essentially complementary to the receiving cavity 21.

In the state inserted into the receiving trough 21, the mounting shell 23 can have a mounting trough 24 which opens away from the top side 3 of the base body 2 and which, in the view of FIG Figure 2 is covered by an end plate 25 of the receiving shell 22. The lighting means 20 can be received at least in sections in the mounting recess 24. The end plate 25 can have at least one light-permeable section which is arranged such that it at least partially overlaps the at least one light-permeable section 9-14 of the base body 2. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the end plate 25 of the mounting shell 23 has light-permeable sections 26 - 31, the size, position and alignment of which essentially correspond to the light-permeable sections 9 - 14 of the base body 2. In particular, the number of light-permeable sections 26 - 31 of the mounting shell 23 can correspond to the number of light-permeable sections 9 - 14 of the base body 2.

The mounting shell 23 can be attached to the receiving shell 22 and / or to the base body 2 in a captive and non-destructive manner. The mounting shell 23 can thus have at least two fastening projections 32, 33 extending away from the mounting recess 24. The fastening projections 32, 33 can protrude from the receiving trough 21 when the mounting shell 23 is inserted into the receiving trough 21. For example, when the mounting shell 23 is in the inserted state, the fastening projections 32, 33 can rest on an edge 34 of the underside 4 of the base body 2 that runs around the receiving trough 21 at least in sections.

The fastening projections 32, 33 can extend away from the mounting recess 24 in opposite directions and / or be arranged on opposite sides of the mounting shell 23. Individual or all of the fastening projections 32, 33 can be channel-shaped and open away from the end plate 25.

Figure 8 shows an embodiment of the laying system 70 according to the invention schematically in a perspective view. The laying system 70 is shown with the built-in rail 50, with several covering plates 1 and with several cover plates 71. The same reference symbols are used for elements that correspond in function and / or structure to elements of the previous exemplary embodiments.

The facing plates 1 are arranged one behind the other along the longitudinal direction L. In the width direction B of the built-in rail 50 running transversely to the longitudinal direction L the facing plates 1 can be placed on the counter attachment element 53. In order to prevent the covering plates 1 from being removed from the installation rail 50 in the height direction H running transversely to the longitudinal direction L and to the width direction B, the covering plates 1 have an attachment element 72 on the lateral side 8, which can be opposite the lateral side 6 on. The attachment element 72 can be shaped at least partially complementary to the counter attachment element 53 and secure the position of the respective facing plate 1 in a form-fitting manner. Im in the Figure 8 The illustrated embodiment is the attachment element 72 as a parallel to the top 3 and / or to in the Figure 8 Not visible underside 4 extending recess formed in the lateral side 8. The recess can be designed as a groove. The attachment element 72 and the counter attachment element 53 can be shaped complementary to one another.

When the covering plate 1 is inserted into the installation rail 50, a width direction of the covering plate 1 can run parallel to the longitudinal direction L of the installation rail 50. The attachment element 72 can extend completely over the lateral side 8 along the width direction B of the facing plate 1 running parallel to the upper side 3 and / or to the lower side 4.

On the lateral side 6 of the facing plate 1 facing away from the attachment element 72, the facing plate 1 and in particular its base body 2 can be formed with a holding projection 73. The holding projection 73 can be arranged at a distance from the upper side 3 and, for example, in alignment with the lower side 4 of the facing plate 1.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the facing plate 1 adjoins the side wall 52 having the counter-mounting element 53. The optional cover plate 71 can be arranged between the facing plate 1 and the side wall 56, which is opposite the side wall 52 having the counter-attachment element 53.

The cover plate 71 can rest on the at least one support projection, on selected ones of the support projections or on all of the support projections 55, 58, 57. The cover plate 71 can in particular be fastened repeatedly and detachably to the installation rail 50. For example, the cover plate 71 can at least one of the support projections 55, 57, 58 be attached. For example, the support projection 58, to which the cover plate 71 is fastened, can have a fastening element, for example a screw receptacle, the cover plate 71 being fastened to the holding element and thus to the installation rail 50 with the aid of a counter-fastening element 74, for example a screw.

The cover plate 71 can have, on its lateral side 75 facing the facing plate 1, an opposing retaining projection 76, which is arranged in the height direction H of the facing plate 1 behind the retaining projection 73 and, together with the opposing attachment element 53, enables the facing plate 1 to be unintentionally removed from the installation rail 50 prevented. The height direction of the covering plate 1 can run parallel to the height direction H of the mounting rail 50 when the covering plate is inserted and can extend from the bottom 4 to the top 3 of the covering plate 1. The holding projection 73 and the counter-holding projection 75 thus overlap in the height direction H. In the context of this description, “overlap” means that a projection of an element in said direction overlaps the other element. In particular, the holding projection 73 and the counter-holding projection 76 can contact one another or be spaced apart from one another when the covering plate 1 and the cover plate 71 are arranged in the installation rail 50.

At least the support projection 55 arranged closest to the facing plate 1 or adjacent to its lateral side 6 can have at least one interruption 77 along the longitudinal direction L. In the width direction B of the installation rail 50, the interruption 77 can overlap the cable groove 42 of a covering plate 1 inserted into the installation rail 50 and / or be in alignment therewith. The cable groove 42 can therefore open away from the side wall 52 and / or towards the support body 55 or towards its interruption 77. The support projection 55 can have several interruptions 77, which are spaced from one another along the longitudinal direction L of the installation rail 50 such that the cable grooves 42 of all or selected ones of the covering panels 1 are each aligned with one of the interruptions 77 or overlap them.

The connecting lines 15, 16, 17 can extend through the cable groove 52 and the interruption 77 and between the at least one Support projection 55 and the side wall 56 or between the support projection 55 and one of the support projections 57, 58 extend.

Figure 9 shows the embodiment of Figure 8 in a schematic sectional illustration, the cutting plane being spanned by the width direction B and the height direction H. The longitudinal direction L points into the plane of the drawing.

In Figure 9 it can be clearly seen how the counter-holding projection 76 and the counter-mounting element 53 prevent the covering panel 1 from being removed from the installation rail 50 along the height direction H when the cover plate 71 is attached to the installation rail 50.

Also shows Figure 9 that the cavities 61, 62 in contrast to the embodiment of Figure 7 can also be arranged one behind the other along the width direction B. The inner wall 63 can thus extend along the height direction H and the longitudinal direction L. The further features of the installation rail 50 of the exemplary embodiment in FIG Figures 8 and 9 can the further features of the installation rail 50 of the embodiment of FIG Figure 7 correspond.

At least one support rail 78, 79, 80 can be arranged on the floor 54 of the built-in rail 50, wherein the at least one support rail 78, 79, 80 can project beyond the floor 54 in the height direction H and extend along the longitudinal direction L. In the vertical direction H, the at least one support rail 78, 79, 80 can be protruded from the at least one support projection 55, 57, 58. The covering plate 1 and in particular the edge 34 of the base body 2 can rest on the at least one support rail 78, 79, 80 when the covering plate 1 is inserted into the installation rail 50.

Figure 10 shows the embodiment of Figures 8 and 9 in a schematic perspective view and with connection lines 15, 16, 17 shown schematically. Connection lines 15, 16, 17 running directly to one of the facing panels 1 extend in the illustrated embodiment from the respective facing panel 1 between the support projection 55 having the interruptions 77 and the projection 55 as seen the facing plate 1 following support projection 58. Between the Supporting projections 55, 58, a first channel 81 extends for the connection lines 15, 16, 17. The connection lines 15, 16, 17 can run to a distributor 83, for which the support projections 57, 58 can have an interruption. Lines running between a plurality of distributors 83 or lines 84 running from the distributor 83 to a control system can extend through a further channel 82, wherein the channel 82 can be arranged between the support projections 57, 58. The lines 15, 16, 17 and / or the distributor 83 can be part of a control system of the laying system 70.

Figure 11 illustrates a possible embodiment of a method for providing information on a floor, in particular a path, in which selected sections of the floor are selectively illuminated from below.

By way of example, the floor 100 is shown as a platform, that is to say as a footpath. Of course, the floor 100 can also be a surface of a driveway, for example a street or a parking lot.

The laying system 70 according to the invention can be used to carry out the method. In order to provide the information, the laying system 70 can selectively backlight selected transparent sections 9-14 of all or selected covering panels 1.

For example, the laying system 70 in the embodiment of FIG Figure 11 Indications as to where the doors of a train 101 that is about to stop at the platform will be. The train 101 is in the Figure 11 already shown to explain the exemplary method. The information given by the laying system 70 can of course also be displayed by the laying system 70 when the train 101 stops at the platform.

For example, light-permeable sections 9-14 are backlit in areas of the floor 100 on which the doors of the train 101 are or will be located. Light-permeable sections 9-14 in areas where no train doors are expected can not be backlit or be backlit in a different way. In order to lead people to the entry areas where the doors are expected, light-permeable sections 9, 11 or 12, 14 of the covering panels 1 can be located in areas that are spaced apart from the train doors Entrance areas and / or adjoining the entrance areas are essentially backlit in the shape of an arrow.

The selective backlighting of individual light-permeable sections of the floor 100 can be adapted to the respective circumstances. Thus, for example, the boarding areas can be adapted to different trains and / or trains that stop at different positions. The train 101 can communicate the position of the train doors directly or indirectly to the laying system 70, for example by the train 101 transmitting the distances between the train doors and the train 101, the laying system 70 or an external system determining the position of the train 101 on the platform.
