Device for air-conditioning stalls
View Patent ↗In devices for air-conditioning stalls having evaporation members which can be supplied with fluid by means of spray pipes which are arranged thereabove, the deflectors are provided above the spray pipes, which deflectors have to be removed for cleaning purposes and temporarily stored elsewhere, which is complex and can lead to damage to the deflectors. The disclosed device for air-conditioning stalls has a provision for deflectors to have hinge connections to retention members. The deflectors can thereby be pivoted upwards in order to clean spray pipes without the deflectors having to be completely removed from the retention members.
1. A device for air-conditioning stalls, in particular for cooling and/or humidifying stall air with evaporation members, at least one spray pipe which is arranged thereabove and which can be supplied with fluid, at least one deflector above the at least one spray pipe, and retention members for the at least one spray pipe and the at least one deflector above the evaporation members, comprising:
releasable hinge connections,
wherein the at least one deflector is securable to the retention members with opposing longitudinal edge regions of the at least one deflector by means of two of the releasable hinge connections, and
wherein the releasable hinge connections are constructed to pivot a respective one of the at least one deflector relative to the retention members which carry the respective one of the at least one deflector, and
wherein the at least one deflector is pivotable relative to the retention members about one of the releasable hinge connections at the opposing longitudinal edge region of the at least one deflector.
2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the releasable hinge connections are at least constructed identically to each other.
3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the releasable hinge connections are constructed at the same time as locking connections and pivot connections.
4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein, in order to form a movable portion of each of the releasable hinge connections, a cylindrical longitudinal edge profile is associated with at least one of the longitudinal edge regions of the respective one of the at least one deflector.
5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein a fixed portion of the at least one of the releasable hinge connections is formed by a respective one of the retention members.
6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the respective one of the retention members has receiving pockets which are located at opposing sides of the at least one spray pipe for a portion of the cylindrical longitudinal edge profile of the respective one of the at least one deflector, which portion of the cylindrical longitudinal edge profile is located in the region of the respective one of the retention members.
7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the cylindrical longitudinal edge profile of the respective one of the at least one deflector is constructed to correspond to at least one of the receiving pockets of the respective one of the retention members in such a manner that the cylindrical longitudinal edge profile is supported so as to be able to be pivoted about a longitudinal center axis thereof in the associated corresponding one of the at least one of the receiving pockets.
8. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the cylindrical longitudinal edge profile of the respective one of the at least one deflector is constructed to correspond to at least one of the receiving pockets of the respective one of the retention members in such a manner that the cylindrical longitudinal edge profile can be pressed into the associated at least one of the receiving pockets of the respective one of the retention members in a locking manner and released from the associated at least one of the receiving pockets again.
9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the respective one of the at least one deflector is lockable at least in the state pivoted upwards.
10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the respective one of the at least one deflector is lockable at least in the state pivoted upwards by means of locking in the region of at least one of the releasable hinge connections.
11. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the locking of the respective one of the deflector at least in the state folded upwards is carried out at or in the at least one of the releasable hinge connections which acts as a hinge when the respective one of the at least one deflector is pivoted.
12. The device according to claim 6 , wherein each of the releasable hinge connections has at least one bead on the cylindrical longitudinal edge profile and at least one recess which corresponds to the at least one bead in the or each of the at least one of the receiving pockets of the retention members.
