This assembly system is therefore provided with edges on mutually adjacent outer panels that are contoured and grip each other so that said adjacent outer panels can be arranged from the outside of said frame, and that The edges are characterized in that they form projections which are attached to an optionally provided inner panel by gripping each other.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention provides for assembling an air conditioning cabinet comprising a wall panel provided with a layer of insulating material, said panel comprising an outer panel, and contour ribs for assembling a frame for mounting said outer panel. system.

[Conventional technology and problems]

Assembly systems such as those described above are known. There, the outer panels are attached to each other and to the frame. This installation therefore requires getting inside the frame, which is certainly a hassle in the case of small air-conditioning cabinets. Assembly systems such as those described above are often suitable for creating air conditioning cabinets, for example in the form of double walls. - In order to create air conditioning cabinets in the form of heavy walls, other assembly systems have to be applied.

[Purpose of the invention]

It is an object of the present invention to enable an air conditioning cabinet to take both single and double wall configurations without having to go inside an already constructed frame during the installation of wall panels. The objective is to provide a simple assembly system.

[Means to solve the purpose]

This object is achieved by an assembly system according to the invention having the features set out in claim 1.

According to the assembly system of the invention, the inner panel can be installed or omitted, so that either double or double-walled air conditioning cabinets can be obtained.

In view of modern anti-corrosion treatments for metals, such as galvanizing and electrophoretic treatments, it is desirable if it is no longer necessary to drill or screw into the panels and contour ribs of the air conditioning cabinet. That's true.

This is because they partially remove the protective coating, and over time the gold and dirt corrode. According to a preferred embodiment of the assembly system of the invention, virtually all connections are made using clamps (
(Claim 12).

Also, according to a preferred embodiment of the assembly system of the invention, by arranging strips of insulating material between all inner and outer panels (claim 16):
The air conditioning cabinet can also be assembled without a cold bridge in the frame. This can be achieved in a simple procedure for wall panels that are attached to contour ribs.

It is thus no longer necessary to seal the gaps between the wall panels and between the profile ribs with a sealing compound.

The present invention also provides a method for assembling an air conditioning cabinet, in which the air conditioner is placed in a frame built from the ground up, and then the wall panels are inserted into the frame from the outside. It is not necessary to tilt the frame that is arranged and constructed at that time.

Further advantages, features and details of the invention will become apparent from the description with reference to the drawings.

An air conditioning cabinet (FIG. 1) in the form of a double wall, assembled using a preferred embodiment of the method and assembly system of the present invention, is constructed from a slave frame 2 and contoured ribs on the outside. It consists of a frame 3 to which a wall panel 4 including a panel 5 is attached. The air conditioning cabinet 1 is equipped with an air intake 6 and a pneumatic lower, and includes, for example, a filter unit 8, a ventilator 9, and a cooling unit 10, but may also include other air conditioning devices.

In other embodiments (not shown), the inner panels are placed first, followed by the outer panels on opposing sides.

A cold bridge-free configuration is imparted to the air conditioning cabinet 1 in a simple manner, namely by using strips of insulating material 28 arranged between the edges at the connection points to the frame and to each other. be able to.

Through the use of the clamp 25, an air conditioning cabinet with flat and smooth finished outer and inner surfaces can be obtained. This is important not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also from a maintenance and cleaning point of view, especially in areas that are to be kept free of dust.

In a preferred embodiment of the assembly system according to the invention, it is of course possible to assemble air conditioning cabinets of different lengths simply by varying the number of outer intermediate panels 5. The height of the assembled air conditioning cabinet can also be varied by the height of the panels. If desired, it is also conceivable to give the air conditioning cabinet a vertical configuration, in which case the mutually gripping edges are arranged at the top and bottom of the panel.

In the remaining figures, the same parts of the assembly system are referred to with the same reference numerals. Further, for the sake of brevity, further explanation thereof will be omitted unless specifically required.

FIG. 3 shows another example of the side wall of the air conditioning cabinet 1 shown in FIG. 2. It includes an outer access panel 31 and two inner access panels 32 associated therewith. An inner start panel 20 and an outer start panel 30 are each installed in pairs from both contour ribs 23 and 24, respectively, towards the center along the arrows, after which inner and outer access panels 31,32 are attached to the panels 20. It is installed between .30 and 30.

The outer access panel 31 is provided with an opening 34 which is closable with a cap 33 through which a threaded bolt 35 can be inserted.

Access is thus provided to the inner access panel 32, each comprising two U-shaped side edges 36 and 37, and each approximately half the length of the outer access panel 31. The inner access panel 32 has threaded bolts 38
and plate 39, they can be attached to each other.

This makes it possible to reach the inside of the air conditioning cabinet 1 using a simple method.

The edges of the two-shaped cross-section of the outer panels 5, 11 and 31 (
4A-4C), the edge edge 4 is bent in order to provide a precise grip in the swan-necked edge 13 of the panel 5.

At the corners of the frame 3 (FIG. 5.6), the air conditioning cabinet 1 is provided with an upper corner member 55 and a lower corner member 56. These are preferably manufactured from plastic and are provided with stops 57 and 58 for gripping the corresponding contour ribs, respectively.

Clamp 25 (FIG. 7) preferably includes a hook member 59.
The hook member 59 is formed by pressing a portion of the clamp 25 along the centerline 60 of the clamp. The edges of the outer panels 5.degree. 11 and 30 are preferably provided with recesses (not shown) for accommodating hook members 59, thereby locking the clamps 25 against displacement.

In connection with the standardization of air conditioners arranged in this air conditioning cabinet, the width dimensions of the inner and outer panels are usually multiples of the standard dimension, for example 32 cm or 1 foot. On the other hand, there are usually variations in the inner and outer panels with respect to height.

Next, a preferred embodiment of a method for assembling an air conditioning cabinet will be described (Figures 8A-8L). First of all,
A slave frame 62 is placed on the ground 61 (FIG. 8A).

Next, by using threaded bolts 63, the framework 6
4 is attached to the slave frame 62, with a strip 65 of insulating material preferably being received between the threaded bolt 63 and the framework 64 (Fig. 88-8C). FIG. 9 also shows that a threaded bolt 63 can be tightened together with a large ring onto the profile bottom 76, thereby connecting the profile bottom with the slave frame. For example, threaded bolts 63 can be tightened alternately onto the framework 64 and the contoured bottom 76. A base plate 66 is then placed on top of the framework 64, which is fixed in a closed manner (FIG. 80). A strip of insulating material 67 is subsequently placed over the edge of the base plate 66, after which a layer 68 of insulating material is adhered to the entire base plate 66. A bottom panel 69 is placed on top of this layer 68 (eighth
Figure 8F). The bottom panel 69 is provided with a short swan-necked edge 70 around which the clamp 25 is secured to attach the bottom panel 69 to the framework 64 (Figure 8G). When it looks like this,
On top of the bottom panel 69 and the framework 64 the frame 3 can now be placed in the manner described above. Frame 3 has vertical contour ribs 23.24.7
1 and 72, horizontal contour ribs 75 and contour bottom 7
6 (Figure 8H). Arranged in the corners are the plastic upper and lower corner members 55, 56 already described. Contour rib 23.24.71.
72 and 75 are formed by an angular profile with edges of two U-shaped sections, while the profile bottom 76 is formed by two corner profiles with Z-shaped edges, one overlapping the other. It is formed by what is being done. The bottom of the profile has an opening for accommodating a threaded bolt 63 (Fig. 8L)
may be provided and may also contain an insulating material.

In an air-conditioning cabinet (y) in the form of a double wall, the inner panel 78 is now attached to the constructed frame 3. In that case a strip 77 of insulating material
are arranged against the edges of the inner panel 78, followed by an outer panel 79 with two swan-necked edges.
is attached to the frame 3 using clamps 25.

Encased between inner panel 78 and outer panel 79 is an 800 layer of insulating material (see Figure 81-8).

Finally, the contour cover 81 is placed over the edge of the air-conditioning cabinet 1 thus assembled and fitted into the open space of the swan-necked edge of the outer panel. (Figure 8L, Figure 10). The contour cover 81 has an angular cross-sectional shape with two Z-shaped edges. Contour cover 81 and outer panel 79
A strip of insulating material 8 is housed between the
2, and what is arranged against the other contour rib 24 is an insulating corner member 83. A horizontal contour cover 84 is attached to the contour bottom 76 using self-tapping screws 85 which extend through an opening 87 which can be closed by a cap 86 (eighth
Figure 9).

Encased between the inner and outer panels are layers 68.80 and 90.91 of insulating material (Figures 9 and 10).

Clearly, Figures 8A-8L illustrate a preferred embodiment of an assembly system and method for an air conditioning cabinet with only one wall panel and no intermediate panels.

However, it is of course possible to assemble an air conditioning cabinet of a certain size as desired by using a number of intermediate panels depending on the air conditioning equipment to be arranged, and this is a feature of the present invention. It is also one of the advantages. The air conditioner is usually housed in a frame of standardized size, which can be easily placed into the frame of the air conditioning cabinet to be assembled, which also usually has standardized dimensions.

Finally, FIG. 11 further shows how equipment located on the other side of the panel can be accessed in a simple manner for the purpose of carrying out inspections. By removing the cap 32, the threaded bolts 35 are accessible and are removed first, followed by the removal of the outer access panel 31. Remove bolt 38 and remove plate 39
After removing the clamps 25, the inner access panel 32 can also be removed. Note that 92, 93 and 94 are layers of insulating material.

According to the assembly system and method of the invention, it is also possible to assemble - air conditioning cabinets in the form of heavy walls; However, in that case, the clamp 25 would have to be replaced by another clamp with smaller retaining jaws, or by a screw clamp or the like.

Depending on the conditions regarding the humidity and temperature of the air to be conditioned and the air outside the cabinet, an air-conditioning cabinet with double walls or a single wall can be used; of course, a single wall construction is cheaper. - and it should be understood that the choice is made whether to provide frames without cold bridges. To prolong the life of the cabinet, the walls must remain dry, even though the inside of the cabinet is thoroughly wiped down as well as the outside. If the conditioned air must be dust-free, cabinets in the form of double walls are chosen.

All components of the assembly system of the invention can be manufactured with a limited number of simple mechanical devices.
