Roof structure and cab
A roof structure for an agricultural vehicle includes an upper roof assembly, a lower roof assembly, and an air-conditioning chamber formed in the lower roof assembly. The upper roof assembly is connectable to the lower roof assembly to surround the air-conditioning chamber. An inlet chamber and an outlet chamber for air-conditioned air are provided such that the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber between the lower roof assembly and the upper roof assembly include chambers separated from each other. The structure also includes a circulation opening for supplying recirculated air arranged at the inlet chamber and an air-guiding element arranged in the inlet chamber, at the circulation opening, and at the air-conditioning chamber. A region is sealed in relation to an external environment.

an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber for air-conditioned air, wherein the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber between the lower roof assembly and the upper roof assembly comprise chambers separated from each other;
a circulation opening for supplying recirculated air arranged at the inlet chamber;
an air-guiding element arranged in the inlet chamber, at the circulation opening, and at the air-conditioning chamber, wherein a region is sealed in relation to an external environment; and
a fresh air opening for supplying fresh air formed at the inlet chamber or the air-conditioning chamber;
wherein the air-guiding element is a sealed region that connects the inlet chamber and the air-conditioning chamber that is sealed from regions inside and outside the roof structure.
2. The cab of claim 1 , further comprising a filter arrangement located at the fresh air opening or the fresh air inlet.
3. The cab of claim 1 , further comprising a second fan arranged in the air-conditioning chamber or the outlet chamber.
4. The cab of claim 1 , further comprising an air-conditioning-system assembly arranged in the air-conditioning chamber or at the outlet chamber.
5. A roof structure of an agricultural vehicle, comprising:
an upper roof assembly;
a lower roof assembly separate from the upper roof assembly;
an air-conditioning chamber formed in the lower roof assembly, the upper roof assembly being connectable to the lower roof assembly to surround the air-conditioning chamber;
an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber for air-conditioned air, wherein the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber between the lower roof assembly and the upper roof assembly comprise chambers separated from each other;
a circulation opening for supplying recirculated air arranged at the inlet chamber;
an air-guiding element arranged in the inlet chamber, at the circulation opening, and at the air-conditioning chamber, wherein a region is sealed in relation to an external environment;
a fresh air opening for supplying fresh air formed at the inlet chamber or the air-conditioning chamber; and
a filter arrangement located at the fresh air opening;
wherein the air-guiding element is configured as a closed duct, and the air-guiding element is arranged at the fresh-air opening and at the circulation opening and in the air conditioning chamber such that the air-guiding element forms a region in the inlet chamber and in the air-conditioning chamber that is sealed off from regions inside and outside the roof structure.
6. The roof structure of claim 5 , wherein the air-guiding element comprises:
a fresh air inlet for supplying the fresh air;
a circulation inlet for supplying the recirculated air; and
an air outlet for letting out mixed air.
7. The roof structure of claim 6 , wherein the fresh air opening is connected to the fresh air inlet and the circulation opening is connected to the circulation inlet.
8. The roof structure of claim 7 , wherein the air outlet is arranged at the air-conditioning chamber such that the fresh air and the recirculated air are mixable in the air-guiding element, and are guided in the sealed region from the fresh air opening and the circulation opening to the air outlet.
9. The roof structure of claim 7 , wherein the filter arrangement comprises a first filter element arranged at the fresh air inlet such that the fresh air that enters the fresh air inlet must pass through the first filter element before being mixable with the recirculated air in the air-guiding element.
10. The roof structure of claim 9 , further comprising a second filter element removably arranged at the circulation inlet such that the recirculated air that enters the circulation inlet must pass through the second filter element before being mixable with the fresh air in the air-guiding element.
11. The roof structure of claim 5 , wherein the filter arrangement and the air-guiding element or the filter arrangement and the roof structure are connected by a coupling element.
12. The roof structure of claim 5 , wherein the air-guiding element comprises a cable duct configured to hold connecting lines for an air-conditioning system.
13. The roof structure of claim 5 , further comprising a second fan arranged in the air-conditioning chamber or the outlet chamber.
14. The roof structure of claim 13 , further comprising an air-conditioning-system assembly arranged in the air-conditioning chamber or at the outlet chamber.
15. The roof structure of claim 14 , wherein the second fan comprises a fan inlet and a fan outlet, wherein the fan inlet is configured to suction air from the air-conditioning chamber or the fan outlet discharges air into the outlet chamber.
16. The roof structure of claim 14 , wherein the air outlet is arranged at the air-conditioning-system assembly.
17. The roof structure of claim 5 , wherein an air outlet is arranged at an air-conditioning chamber such that the fresh air and the recirculated air are mixable in the air-guiding element, and are guided in the sealed region from the fresh air opening and the circulation opening to the air outlet.
18. The roof structure of claim 17 , wherein the filter arrangement comprises a first filter element arranged at the fresh air opening such that the fresh air that enters the fresh air opening must pass through the first filter element before being mixable with the recirculated air in the air-guiding element.
19. The roof structure of claim 18 , further comprising a second filter element removably arranged at the circulation opening such that the recirculated air that enters the circulation opening must pass through the second filter element before being mixable with the fresh air in the air-guiding element.
