Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

The present invention is an indoor separation unit having a primary air conditioner, which utilizes one of several possible connection points in a connection arrangement that covers a substantial part of the room surface and is in the roof or ceiling. In, a method and apparatus for creating an individually controlled environment.

[0002] Humans need fresh air and regulated temperatures to feel comfortable. This is even more problematic in workstations (separations) in offices where bad air and extremely high and extremely low temperatures reduce work capacity. Pleasant temperatures are as unique as ventilation and odor sensitivity. Controlling the environment in a work room or open office from just one basic setting is that some people are closer to the mouthpiece air vents and / or radiators and another is far away In the meantime, it will receive air and heat from it, which is often inadequate due to poor ventilation and extremely low temperatures during the entire working day. The technology based on the conventional technology is a huge static device.
It is difficult to control integrated systems in buildings and workplaces with a ventilation capacity of the order of 40-60 m ³ per person per hour.

Therefore, it is difficult to obtain an economically suitable one for the entire indoor environment or minute environment for each workstation. Ventilation, or comfortable heating and cooling, is not only about the inflow of fresh and moderated air, but the exhaustion of used air and cigarettes, gas in the gastrointestinal tract, and / or air affected by sweat, welding smoke, etc. It should be available personally, in a location that effectively moves near the station, that is, near the person who causes the inconvenience.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to obtain a (personal controlled) individual environment suitable for any separation by centralizing the secondary air-conditioning system in the furniture module. is there.

Yet another object of the present invention is to obtain an individual separation unit which itself has a comfortable heat pump module for cooling and heating.

The above objective is accomplished by a method and device having the features of the claims.

A secondary isolated air conditioning controller that connects to the workstation at one of several possible connection points in the pipeline arrangement within the ceiling or floor covering a substantial portion of the room surface is installed in the building. The detachable connection to the primary air conditioner allows a great deal of freedom in the selection and execution of several workstations, as well as the air entering the workstations and / or the workstations. Each of the workstations has its own microenvironment by means of user adjustment or actuation means for controlling the flow and temperature of the air flowing out of the.

Since the secondary air conditioner connected to the workstation is operated in cooperation with the primary air conditioner in the building only when the workstation is used, the initial cost of the air conditioner can be kept low. As a result, it does not require all environmentally compatible capabilities for all workstations. If each separate workstation is equipped with a small heat pump module, this heat pump module can be used very well to adapt the room to its basic environment during non-working hours.

The secondary air conditioner forms part of a furniture module that connects to the workstation, the module removably connects to the primary air conditioner of the building, and is a utility aisle utilized at the workstation. Many advantages are achieved by utilizing modules with (channels), conduits, and / or wiring to arrange the modules to cooperate with the building's primary air conditioner.

One possibility consists in utilizing the connection means specified for different utilities, which connection means can only be connected in the correct position of the pipeline arrangement.

One advantage of the present invention is that it utilizes a separate workstation with cooling and ventilation systems that are also possible for work chairs. Since the air flow generated is small, it is possible to construct a pipe arrangement suitable for such a purpose in a flexible and non-bulky manner by using a hose having passages for both inflow air and outflow air. it can.

The ventilation passage arrangement may be provided with cross passages for inflow air and / or outflow air, which are provided with, for example, air-conditioning, heating, electricity, and data conduits and are connected in a grid pattern. Thereby, the air flow at the exit point of the grid pattern device is supplied from at least two directions. Connecting to the rearranged room module, including the movement of workstations, to puncture the air inlet passage or to block that same passage can be done in many different ways. For example, one type of push lid can be used, or a hole can be resealed with a special sealing means that is snapped there with a special drilling saw device. A lid on the roof and / or ceiling may be provided as an entrance to the aisle device.

In large room modules that require large ventilation systems, passages for incoming air can be arranged both inside the ceiling and inside the floor. This can be achieved with a height of 10 cm for each passage device.

If there is a device adapted for centralized primary air conditioning in the building, this device can be completely freed from aisle devices arranged in the floor and possibly in the ceiling. Therefore, a device compatible with this primary air conditioning will create a basic environment for each room module in the building that is separate. At a personally selected temperature level and degree of ventilation, the individual environment is adapted to each workstation, for example initial heating and ventilation are managed by a secondary air conditioner, where exhaust is preferably performed. .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a large-scale office room showing a pipeline network (arrangement) 1 for exhaust. Two workstations (workbench) 3 connected to the pipeline network 1 by the connection means 2 are shown. The incoming air that appears around it at the two short ends of the room is shown here, but this network of pipes can be diverged more to accommodate what is appropriate for a particular application. Is.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the discharge part 4 at the upper part of the workstation 3, which discharge part 4 is connected to the pipeline network 1 by the connecting means 2 and the passage (channel) means 5. . The exhaust shown here is arranged to perform an expulsion operation using the incoming air, that is to say to eliminate the existing room air with said inflowing air.

In FIG. 3, the inflow air outlet 4 is shown at the bottom of the working table of the workstation, where the displaced air may pass through the heating section before it escapes. ing.

In FIG. 4, a schematic perspective view of the workstation 3 completed by connecting the column device 7 to the pipeline network 1 in the ceiling is shown. Further shown here is how the discharge means 4, 8 for sending fresh air etc. are arranged in concert to individually control the microenvironment. Further, the pipeline 8a
Is shown connected to the chair. Apart from this, a connection 6 for a telephone 9 and a computer (Internet) 10 is shown.

In FIG. 5, a side view of a workstation 3 with an air heat pump module A is shown, which prior to excluding room air to help create a comfortable microenvironment. In addition, it has the ability to draw room air into the air that has been heated, cooled and / or dehumidified. The possibility of connecting to the air heat pump module A in order to allow the charged particles in the room to easily coalesce, form heavier particles that fall off the room air and become more easily processed. Certain ion emitting means may be arranged to enhance the self-cleaning capacity of room air.

The invention is not limited to what has been described above, but modifications can be made within the scope of the respective claims.
