Suspended ceiling heating or cooling panel

The present invention relates to a suspended ceiling heating or cooling panel comprising a plurality of interconnected cassettes in thermally conductive communication with a heating or cooling medium pipeline, each cassette being substantially U-shaped in cross-section and having at least one trough between its branches for receiving the pipeline 10, and wherein the cassettes are connected to each other by at least one transverse beam provided with first notches for the pipeline and second notches for said branches of the two adjacent cassettes.

15 Such heating and cooling panels are placed on the ceiling of a room to dissipate heat mainly by radiation or to take heat from the room.

They consist of a series of cassettes connected to each other and to a heating or cooling medium pipeline.

20 Installing and hanging these panels is time consuming and difficult work.

: SE 317 173 discloses a suspended ceiling heating panel in which the cassettes are connected to the heating pipes by means of retaining rails. The longitudinal edges of the cassettes ·· '25 are bent upwards in the shape of a semicircle and are intended to be inserted into and held in the notches of the retaining rails.

The object of the present invention is to provide a device of the quality mentioned in the introduction, which is simple to install as a unitary unit, which is then placed on the ceiling. In addition, the cartridges must be securely fastened in place and fitted. This is solved according to the invention in that the free ends of the branches of the U are provided with inwardly bent, longitudinal ... 35 flanges and in said beam there are locking means comprising each of said second notches on a hook formed on one side and on opposite sides of each of said notches. an adapted spring member, the hook member and the spring member cooperating with said flanges of the abutting cassettes.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of a ceiling-mounted heating or cooling panel according to the invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the two cassettes included in the panel in the interconnection state.

Figure 3 is a bottom view of a portion of the panel.

Figure 4 is a section along the line IV-IV in Figure 1.

Fig. 5 is a section along the line V-V in Fig. 3.

Figure 1 shows a part of a heating or cooling panel 10 suspended from a ceiling 11. The heating or cooling panel 10 comprises a plurality of cassettes 12 forming a radiating surface and in direct contact with the heating or cooling element 13. This consists of pipelines arranged in parallel, e.g. intended for heating or cooling media. The cassettes 12 are connected to each other by a plurality of transverse beams 14 to which the suspension members 15 of the panel 10 are connected.

Each cassette 12 is substantially U-shaped in cross-section and comprises, in its central part 16, which forms a radiating surface, a trough-like holder 17 for the pipeline 13. The free ends of the U-profile arms 18 are provided with inwardly bent flanges 19. Longitudinal spacers are further arranged in the central part 16 of the U-profile. . ke members 20 against which the beam 14 presses.

The beam 14 has recesses 21 and 22 for the pipeline 13 • and for the branches 18 of the adjacent cassettes 12, respectively. The recess 22 has a hook 23 on one side for cooperating with a flange 19 on one of said abutting cassettes 3 83699, while the flange 19 on one of the abutting cassettes 12 is for cooperating with a locking member in the form of a spring bar 24 attached to the beam 14.

5 The pipeline 13 is pressed against the holder 17 by means of flat springs 25 or the like which cooperate with the flanges 19 of the cassettes 12.

The end profiles 26 arranged across the longitudinal direction of the cassettes 12 form the end closures of the panel 10.

10 The panels 10 can be installed either directly in place or pre-installed on the floor of the room in which they are hung. The cassettes 12 are then placed next to each other at the intended mutual distance, the pipeline 13 is fitted and locked by means of flat springs 25. The beams 15 14 are connected to the cassettes 12 so that their hooks 23 and spring shackles 24 are brought into contact with the respective flanges 19 of the cassettes 12. This is most clearly illustrated in Figure 2, where the right-hand cassette 12 is shown in a somewhat angled position, where it is not yet connected to the spring buckles 24 of the beams 14. Several beams 14 can possibly be connected together by means of connecting pieces. Once the entire panel 10 is assembled as a unit, it is suspended from the ceiling by suspension members 15.

The invention is, of course, not limited to the embodiments shown, but several variations are conceivable within the scope of the claims.
