Definitions
- the invention relates to a media column for the distribution of media such as gaseous and liquid media, vacuum, electricity and communication in a laboratory and an arrangement of work tables comprising such a media column for a laboratory or an office according to the preamble of claims 1 and 8.
- ceiling constructions are used for setting up research laboratories, e.g be attached directly to the associated building ceiling with the help of suitable fastening devices using dowels. Since the lines are usually laid one after the other by different personnel, the difficulty arises that the lines sometimes not only run criss-cross and alternately in several levels, but also because of the individual installation of the fastening devices later spatial changes to an existing laboratory arrangement can only be made with great effort.
- EP 1 934414 B1 discloses a ceiling construction for a laboratory room, in which the gaseous and liquid media as well as electricity are routed in an orderly manner in main supply lines running parallel to one another in the area of the laboratory ceiling, which are accommodated on a support frame made of profiled supports.
- the various media are routed from the main supply lines via flexible branch lines, which can be connected to the supply lines using quick-release couplings, to the respective hanging media columns, which are mounted above the laboratory tables at the corresponding workstations on the underside of the support frame.
- the ceiling construction described above offers a number of advantages compared to conventional laboratory ceilings with a disorderly routing of the media lines, the problem arises that the respective workplaces are supplied exclusively via the hanging media columns, and the media are fed to the fittings on the laboratory tables is not carried out via the tables themselves, but only via the cables hanging down from the media columns.
- DE 1857988 Ul describes an arrangement for supplying laboratory workstations with different media, which includes a fixed narrow wall element which is arranged between vertical profiles.
- the respective media which are supplied to the wall element within the profiles from the ceiling of the laboratory, are guided in parallel horizontal lines one above the other, from which branch pipes extend to the taps for the media, which are located above the respective laboratory tables and which are between the respective vertical support profiles are arranged in boxes on the back of the wall elements. Due to the construction, the arrangement described is complicated to assemble and has little flexibility with regard to subsequent positioning of the fittings and taps for dispensing the media on the wall element.
- DE 102019 119 116 discloses an arrangement for supplying gaseous and liquid media, vacuum, electricity and communication to workstations arranged in rows in a laboratory, which has at least one standing modular wall element, which the media run from in the area of the ceiling of the laboratory Mains supply lines are fed from via vertical supply lines.
- the wall element along which the workstations are arranged in one or two rows back to back and which can have a width of eg 100 mm or 200 mm and a height of eg 90 cm and a length of eg 90, 120, 150 and 180 cm has a back on its upper side, on which one or more media boxes can be arranged, each of which has different extraction fittings for the various media, via which these can be issued for use in the laboratory.
- this object is achieved by a media column having the features of claim 1 .
- a further object of the invention is to create an arrangement of workbenches in a laboratory which enables the media required within a laboratory to be positioned flexibly and without tools in the area of the workbenches.
- this object is achieved by an arrangement having the features of claim 8 .
- a media column for the distribution of media, in particular gaseous and liquid media such as technical gases, water and coolants, vacuum, electricity and communication in a laboratory which preferably contains a large number of work tables arranged in rows, each with a worktop have a rear longitudinal edge, a carrier body extending in the vertical direction, on the front side of which at least one module element is detachably fastened, to which the gaseous and/or liquid media can be fed via supply lines, and which has a housing with a front side in which at least one removal fitting is accommodated, via which the media can be dispensed.
- the invention should also include the fact that the module elements can contain interfaces for data processing devices, e.g. modems, routers or switches, which can be connected to the respective EDP devices via data sockets arranged on the front side or the side walls of the housing of the module elements, and which are primarily connected via a radio network for data communication.
- the media column according to the invention is characterized in that the carrier body is a vertically elongated, flat, inherently rigid profile, in particular a metal profile, e.g. an aluminum hollow profile with a rectangular cross section or external cross section.
- the carrier body comprises two such profiles, which can be connected to one another, for example, via struts or the like.
- the elongate profile which can have a length of 2.3 m, a depth of 20-50 mm and a width of 150 mm, for example, is fastened with its first lower end upright to the top of a standing platform, which preferably has a rectangular cross section and can be designed, for example, as a flat metal plate or as a metal hollow profile, which is placed on the floor of the laboratory and, so to speak, forms the base of the media column according to the invention.
- the standing platform can, for example, have a depth of 200 mm to 300 mm and be weighed down with additional weights in order to ensure that the media column stands securely. Viewed in cross-section from the side, the standing platform projects at a right angle from the elongate profile attached to it.
- the depth of the elongated profile and the depth of the standing platform, as well as the position at which the lowest modular element is attached to the profile depend on the height of the work table, which is usually 65 to 95 cm from the floor to the top of the worktop , chosen so that the underside of the housing of the lowest extraction module is at a small distance of, for example, 10 mm or more, above the worktop of the worktable or tables, which are preferably set up one behind the other along rows in the laboratory.
- the housing of the lowest removal module protrudes, as well as the other module elements optionally arranged above it, which have a depth of 160 mm, the worktop in the area of its rear longitudinal edge, so that the media column formed in this way encompasses the worktop in the area of the rear longitudinal edge, viewed from the side, and the media column can be positioned at a desired position along the rear longitudinal edge.
- the supply lines for the media have flexible line sections according to the invention, which run from the second upper end of the inherently rigid profile, preferably in an arc that is convex on its upper side, to a supply point on the ceiling of the laboratory for the media are managed. From there, the media, in particular the gaseous and liquid media as well as vacuum, are fed to the respective workplaces, preferably via flexible metal lines.
- the invention has the advantage that the adjustment of the supply of jobs with the required media can be done with a redesign of a job in a laboratory with significantly increased flexibility, without the need for experienced technicians and fitters and lifting equipment, the media columns mechanically from have to solve the brackets, implement and reattach, as is required in the known media columns that are added hanging on the building ceiling or a ceiling grid of a laboratory.

- FIG. 3 shows a schematic three-dimensional view of the media column from FIG. 1 in connection with a work table arranged in front of it
- 4 shows a schematic three-dimensional view of a laboratory with a ventilation arrangement arranged on the laboratory ceiling and a media column arranged between a building wall and a work table to illustrate the curved course of the supply lines
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic representation of a laboratory with two ventilation arrangements mounted on the building ceiling with a central supply air duct air outlet and air baffles protruding horizontally from this on both sides and two work tables arranged back-to-back in the center between the two ventilation arrangements with media columns according to the invention positioned in between,
- FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment of the invention, in which two media columns according to the invention, each arranged behind a work table, are used as holding devices for a flat separating element, which is accommodated with its vertical edges in the opposite longitudinal grooves of the inherently rigid profiles, and
- FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment of the invention, in which two media columns according to the invention, each arranged behind a work table, are used as holding devices for a shelf.
- a media column 1 for the distribution of gaseous and/or liquid media in a laboratory 100 comprises a support body 2 extending in the vertical direction, on the front side 2f of which there is at least one module element 10, but preferably a plurality of Module elements 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 are releasably attached one above the other, to which the media, such as gaseous and liquid media, for example technical gases, compressed air and water, coolant and vacuum as well as electricity and communication via corresponding supply lines 120 are supplied.
- Each of the modules 10 has a housing 12 with a front side 12f, in which at least one extraction fitting 14, or a socket or a data interface, for example an Ethernet network socket, is accommodated via which media can be output.
- the carrier body consists of a vertically elongated, flat, inherently rigid profile 2, which is preferably a solid profile of metal, in particular aluminum or stainless steel, with a rectangular cross section. This is fastened with its first lower end 2u standing on the upper side of a standing platform 6, for which purpose the lower face of the profile 2 can be screwed and/or welded to the standing platform.
- the laboratory 100 in which the media column 1 according to the invention is used, comprises a large number of work tables 110, each of which has a worktop 112 with a rear longitudinal edge 112r.
- the workbenches 110 are arranged in the laboratory 100 in a known manner in rows running parallel to the aisle areas, but these are not shown in the drawings for the sake of clarity.
- ventilation arrangements 300 are attached to the ceiling of the laboratory room, which, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, have a central combined supply air duct air outlet 310, which is suspended from the underside of a horizontally running frame 320 or ceiling grid made of support profiles and preferably extends centrally along each aisle area of the laboratory 100.
- each combined supply air duct/air outlet 310 which is also referred to below as supply air duct, which is supplied via a central supply (not shown in detail) for the different media is fed.
- the individual supply lines 120 for the different media such as inert gases, compressed air, water and coolants as well as electricity etc. are shown in the drawings for the sake of clarity as only two individual schematic lines and usually include a whole bundle depending on the media required of parallel pipelines as well as cables and flexible hoses. As can best be seen from the illustration in FIG.
- each of the workbenches 100 which are preferably standardized laboratory workbenches, has a worktop 112 which has a rear longitudinal edge 112r which protrudes beyond the frame 114 of the workbenches 110.
- the distance by which the worktop 112 protrudes beyond an imaginary connecting line 118, which connects the two rear table legs 116 of the tables 110 (Fig. 4 and 5), is in the range of preferably approx. 30 cm, so that below the rear longitudinal edge 112r a a usable free space 119 is provided for each worktable 110, which has a depth of approx.
- the free space 119 has a width of preferably more than 60 cm.
- the lowest module element 10.1 in the media columns 1 according to the invention is positioned on the front side 2f of the inherently rigid profile 2, depending on the respective working height of the worktop 112 of a worktable 110, so that the underside 12u of the approx.
- housing 12 of the module element 10.1 is at a small distance, for example a distance of 0.5 cm to 50 cm, above the respective worktop 112 of the worktable 110 in question, and the housing 12 of the lowest module element 10 is the worktop 112 towers over
- the invention provides that the supply lines 120 for the media have flexible line sections 120a, which can be guided from the second upper end 2o of the inherently rigid profile 2 in an arc to a supply point 122 on the ceiling for the gaseous and/or liquid media.
- modular elements 10 are preferably arranged above the tabletops 112 of the worktables 110, according to an embodiment not shown in detail it can also be provided that one or more modules are additionally accommodated below the worktops 112 on the inherently rigid profile 2 in order to be below the worktops 112 located laboratory equipment (not shown) to supply the required media.
- the supply lines to the module elements 10 arranged below the table tops 112 preferably run over the front side 2f of the inherently rigid profile 2, which for this purpose can be covered with a flat cover in this area.
- the preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the standing platform 6 has rollers 8 on its underside, as shown in the drawings, whose axes of rotation are preferably fixed to the standing platform 6 are arranged so that the planes of rotation of the rollers 8 extend parallel to the front side 2f of the inherently rigid profile 2.
- This has the advantage that the media column 1 in question can always be moved in a straight line and with little effort along the rear longitudinal edge 112r of a work table 110 without having to lift the standing platform 6, as is necessary in a simplified embodiment in which the underside the standing platform 6 is flat and has no rollers.
- rollers 8 are designed as rollers in the embodiment of the media column 1 shown in the drawings, which are screwed directly onto the underside of the standing platform 6, it is of particular advantage according to a further alternative embodiment of the invention if the standing platform 6 has a greater thickness and preferably comprises four rollers, which are designed with a small diameter and are sunk into corresponding recesses in the underside of the platform 6 in such a way that the underside of the rollers the platform 6 only slightly, for example by 1 mm, protrudes.
- This integral arrangement of the rollers 8 in associated recesses on the underside of the standing platform 6 results in a particularly elegant design of the media column 1 in connection with increased stability.
- the Recesses are introduced in the corner areas of the standing platform 6 and the rollers only extend laterally with their peripheral surfaces by e.g. 1-2 mm beyond the edges of the platform, so that the peripheral surfaces of the rollers 8 can only be moved by a slight lateral tilting of the media columns 1 by e.g 20° come into contact with the ground and the media columns 1 can be moved. As a result, the stability of the media columns 1 can be further improved.
- the elongated, flat, inherently rigid profile 2 is fastened to the back 6r of the standing platform 6 so that the rear of the inherently rigid profile 2 preferably runs flush with the rear edge of the standing platform 6 .
- This has the advantage that the front section 6f of the same, opposite the rear 6r of the standing platform 6, can be arranged below the work surface 112 of a work table 110 when the front side 2f of the elongated, inherently rigid profile 2 is in contact with the rear longitudinal edge 112r of the relevant work surface 112.

- module elements 10 can be moved to a desired position in the longitudinal direction of the elongated, inherently rigid profile 2 in the shortest possible time, for example in the case of a work table 110 with a worktop 112 that can be variably adjusted in height, the distance between the To be able to adjust the bottom 12u of the housing 12 of the lowest module element 10.1 in the shortest possible time and without tools to a new working height.
- the housing 12 of the module elements 10 consist of an inherently rigid but reversibly deformable material, e.g. aluminum or stainless steel, and preferably have a U-shaped cross section, which encloses the front side 2f of the inherently rigid elongated profile 2, forming a circumferentially closed cavity , In the interior of which the supply lines 120 for the media are guided from the second upper end 2o of the carrier body 2 to the extraction fittings 14 of the respective module elements 10 .
- their rear longitudinal edges can be inserted into the grooves on the front side 2f of the profile 2, in which they are frictionally fixed by the restoring forces after releasing the pressure on the outer sides of the two legs.
- module elements 10.1, 10.2 for the same or for different media and/or for electricity and data are releasably accommodated one on top of the other on the elongated, inherently rigid profile 2, the housing 12 of which, as shown in FIG their tops and bottoms abut each other, so that there is a continuous surface to the outside, in which the connections of the extraction fittings 14 are arranged.
- a dummy module 10.3 is preferably arranged above the top module element 10.2, which contains a removal fitting 14, which also has a U-shaped housing in cross section, which of its Cross-sectional shape ago preferably essentially the shape of the U-shaped housing 12 of the other module elements 10 corresponds.
- This dummy module 10.3 extends, as shown for example in Fig. 3, to the second upper end 2o of the inherently rigid profile 2, and covers the attached leads 120, not shown in detail, which are inside the housing 12 from the upper end 2o of the inherently rigid profile 2 are performed from up to the respective extraction fittings 14.
- At least one flexible supply line 120 for the media are routed in an arc from the second upper end 2o of the inherently rigid, elongated profile 2 to the supply point 122 on the ceiling side, which is preferably arranged on top of the supply air ducts 310, as shown in the representation of FIG.
- connection points can be moved in a form-fitting manner when viewed in the circumferential direction of the flexible feed-line sections 120a and/or by friction when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the flexible feed-line sections 120a be connected to each other.
- this embodiment advantageously allows a comparatively large travel path of the media columns 1 according to the invention relative to the rear longitudinal edges 112r of the work tables 110, which, depending on the distance of the supply point 122 from the respective media column to can be up to 2.5 m or even more without the need for additional extensions of the line sections.
- an arrangement 102 of workbenches 110 in a laboratory 100 with at least one workbench 110, which has a worktop 112 with a rear longitudinal edge 112r is characterized in that it comprises at least one media column 1, as described above, which is the front side 2f of the inherently rigid elongated profile 2 is arranged near the rear longitudinal edge 112r of the worktop 112 of the worktable 110 in such a way that the housing 12 of the bottom module element 1Ou extends over the top of the worktop 112 and the media column 1 in the lateral direction along the rear longitudinal edge 112r of Worktop 112 of the associated worktable 110 can be moved to different positions.

- the workbenches 110 which are preferably all identical in a laboratory room 100, have a frame 114, each with 2 rear table legs 116 and a worktop 112, which extends horizontally beyond the imaginary connecting line 118 between the two rear table legs 116 also extends, so that below the rear longitudinal edge 112r of each worktable 110 there is a free space 119 in which the standing platform 6 can be moved without collision when moving the media column 1 along the rear longitudinal edge 112r.
- a large piece of equipment is arranged between two adjacent, adjacent tables 110.
- the free space 119 provided below the worktop 112 between the rear longitudinal edge 112r of a worktable 110 and the two rear table legs 116 is set up for laboratory equipment or a piece of furniture, preferably with a standard width of 60 cm, in order to use the free space 119 and to close it in the lateral direction by the inserted laboratory equipment or piece of furniture (not shown), especially when the two work tables 110 according to the embodiment of Fig. 5 are positioned back to back are and the free space 119 thereby has twice the width plus twice the depth of the profile 2 of, for example, 60 mm.
- a line store can be provided, so to speak, which further facilitates the lateral displacement of the media columns 1 according to the invention.
- a line store can be provided, so to speak, which further facilitates the lateral displacement of the media columns 1 according to the invention.
- a sufficiently large feed clearance can be obtained, which allows the workbench 110 in question with a laboratory device located on it to swing forward can be pulled out of the row of tables into the aisle area without disconnecting the supply lines.
- This enables easy access to the rear of the laboratory devices for maintenance or repair work, for which the sometimes heavy devices would otherwise have to be completely disconnected from the supply lines and lifted off the tables 110 using appropriate lifting devices.
- the media lines are bundled straight to the rear and run down over the rear longitudinal edges 112r of the worktables 110, they no longer rest loosely as loops behind the devices on the worktops 112 of the tables. This ensures order and makes it easier to clean the table surfaces.
- the worktops 112 of the worktables 110 which are preferably along of parallel rows, not shown in detail, on either side of the central supply air ducts 310 of the ventilation arrangements 300 are arranged, comprise an upwardly directed nose or lip 113, which deflects an air flow rising from the area below a worktop 112 in the manner of a spoiler in the vertical direction, so that it can optimally rise upwards.
- this advantageously further reduces the energy requirement for providing the air exchange required in a laboratory.
- the space below the worktops 112 of the tables 110 is thereby also covered and flushed by this air flow.
- longitudinal grooves 4 can be formed in the lateral end faces of the elongated vertical profile 2 of the media columns 1 to accommodate the vertically running lateral edges of flat separating elements 130, which are positioned between the inherently rigid profiles 2 of two spaced apart Media columns 1 can be arranged in order to spatially separate the work areas, in particular in the case of the work tables 110 shown in FIG. 5 standing back to back, as a splash guard.
- the aforementioned longitudinal grooves 4 can also be used to accommodate fastening elements for shelves 150, not shown in detail, to which, for example, the bottoms of the shelves 150 are fastened.
- the fastening elements can be, for example, flattened metal angles with crossbars formed thereon, which are mechanically fixed, in particular clamped, in the longitudinal grooves 4 after being inserted into them.
- the media columns 1 of work tables 110 arranged opposite one another back-to-back are also arranged in pairs back-to-back and are screwed together to increase stability or are positively connected to one another via clamping devices or clasps.
- the media columns 1 according to the invention can be used to create mobile shelf arrangements with shelves 150 in the shortest possible time, which can be moved along the longitudinal edges 112r of the work tables 110 and offer increased security against tipping over.
- the laboratory 100 or the arrangement 102 of workbenches 110 contained therein comprises a ventilation arrangement 300 arranged above the workbenches 110 with a central combined supply air duct air outlet 310, which is also referred to below as the central supply air duct, and an exhaust air duct 330 arranged above it.
- the central air supply duct 310 and the exhaust air duct arranged above it are accommodated on a frame 320 made of support profiles above the workbenches 110, which is fastened to the ceiling of the laboratory room via vertical profiles is.
- the frame 320 comprises horizontal profiled supports 325 lying opposite one another in pairs and extending to the side on both sides of the central supply air duct 310, between or on which air guiding panels 340 are accommodated.
- the air-guiding panels 340 have a curved, downward-facing, air-guiding surface in the shape of a lying, flattened S, one longitudinal edge of which originates in the area above the associated central supply air duct 310 and the other free longitudinal edge , as shown, is angled in the upward direction.
- This curved shape of the free panel edges which is angled upwards and is located in the area above the rear longitudinal edges 112r of the workbenches 110 and forms a coherent air-guiding surface, is heated under the workbenches 110 by laboratory equipment and/or EDP equipment (not shown). and heated air rising through the gap formed along the rear longitudinal edges 112r of the worktables 110 is deflected upwards away from the central supply air duct 310 into the space above the air-guiding panels 340 .
- this advantageous design which is wing-like or swinging S-shaped in side view, of the air-guiding panels 340 arranged on both sides of the central supply air duct 310 in conjunction with the between the rear longitudinal edges to 112r of the work tables 110 results from the depth of the inherently rigid Profile gaps defined an upward flow of heated air. This is indicated by the arrows in FIG. 4 and, in conjunction with the upwardly curved shape of the panel edges, ensures a particularly effective separation of the heated, rising exhaust air from the cooled and/or cleaned supply air supplied via the central supply air ducts 310.
- the air guide panels 340 which can alternatively also be used without a previously described movable media column 1 in a laboratory 100, which has an arrangement 102 of worktables 110 with worktops 112 whose rear longitudinal edges 112a are separated by a gap or by an adjacent vertical wall are separated, according to a further embodiment advantageously consist of a foamed, sound-absorbing plastic material.
- a foamed, sound-absorbing plastic material advantageously consist of a foamed, sound-absorbing plastic material.
- the air guide panels 340 can be folded down around pivot axes 342 only indicated in Fig. 5, preferably with their angled outer ends, in order to provide access within a very short time when moving the media columns 1 to the supply lines 120 or their flexible line sections 120a and also to the supply points 122 on the ceiling side.
- the air deflection panels 340 In order to fix the air deflection panels 340 in their horizontal working positions shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, they can be secured by locking means (not shown in detail), e.g. by spring-loaded displaceable locking bolts, displaceable spring-loaded detent balls or the like, or by magnetic means attached to the lateral edges of the air deflection panels 340 such as permanent magnets cooperating with corresponding complementary counter means on the horizontal beams 325.
- the locking means not shown in detail and complementary counter means can also be arranged in an inverted manner on the profile supports 325 and air guide panels 340, and allow the air guide panels 340 to be detached, preferably without tools, by hand and pivoted in the downward direction.
