Description

[0001] The disclosure relates to an outdoor receiving device which is suitable for receiving a heat pump and which has at least one receiving space which can be loaded from outside the receiving device without entering it. Problem

[0002] A heat pump is a machine that, through technical work, absorbs thermal energy from a lower-temperature reservoir and transfers it—along with the drive energy—as useful heat to a higher-temperature system to be heated. Heat pumps are primarily used for heating homes. Heat pumps are usually installed outside the property, for example, in the garden or parking lot, so that the heat pumps can easily and effectively draw in outside air.

[0003] Heat pumps take up valuable space on the property and are exposed to varying weather conditions. Furthermore, heat pumps generate a lot of noise, which can cause disturbance to residents.

[0004] The Vairo model from GartenQ describes mounting devices. GarTec also offers mounting devices. Summary

[0005] The object of the present invention is to efficiently utilize the space required by the heat pump. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to protect the heat pump from external weather influences and to insulate it against sound.

[0006] At least one of the above objects is achieved by the subject matter of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are specified in the dependent claims.

[0007] The basic idea of ​​the present invention is to efficiently utilize a heat pump enclosure or casing for additional purposes. This is particularly necessary in increasingly narrow gardens or open spaces adjacent to buildings.

[0008] The subject matter of the present invention relates to a receiving device for outdoor use. The receiving device has a base area and a lateral outer boundary surrounding the base area. Furthermore, the receiving device has an upper cover. The receiving device comprises at least a first and a second receiving space.

[0009] At least the first receiving space can be loaded from outside the receiving device without having to enter the first receiving space. The first receiving space has one or more closable opening areas, wherein the one or more closable opening areas are coupled to at least one closing element in order to close the one or more opening areas. The second receiving space borders on the first receiving space. The second receiving space has a volume which is suitable for accommodating a heat pump. This means that the heat pump is located in the second receiving space.

[0010] Ventilation openings are provided in the lateral outer boundary and / or in the upper cover adjacent to the second receiving space, which allow air to be supplied from outside or air to be discharged from the second receiving space.

[0011] The one or more air supply openings are or the air supply side of the heat pump is separated from the air discharge side or the one or more air discharge openings, for example by a partition wall or by arranging the air supply opening and air discharge openings in different areas of the receiving device, which are separated from each other in terms of ventilation, so that no air exchange can take place between these areas within the receiving device.

[0012] The ventilation openings can, for example, be arranged within a door / wall and / or as a floor gap.

[0013] The first receiving space contains organizing and / or storage devices.

[0014] It is also possible to equip the other outer boundaries of the second receiving space with openings for air supply and exhaust in addition to the closing element of the second receiving space.

[0015] The outer boundaries of the first space may also have openings for air supply or exhaust in order to supply or exhaust air to the second receiving space.

[0016] In a particular embodiment, one or more circumferential air gaps can be provided around the receiving device, e.g. one in the lower area and one in the upper area, with air being sucked in in the lower area and air being blown out in the upper area or vice versa.

[0017] The first recording room(s) can be covered with a floor at the top or bottom so that air circulation does not pass through the first recording room(s).

[0018] Preferably, the lateral outer boundary and / or the upper cover borders directly on the outside area.

[0019] The base area of ​​the mounting device is partially open, i.e., not closed. This means that the base area can be at least partially open towards the ground, namely at the point where the heat pump is installed or at the point where a support structure for the heat pump is present. This ensures that running noise from the heat pump is not transmitted to the mounting device, thus decoupling it. At the same time, the mounting device offers advantageous protection against the effects of the weather and an additional option for further soundproofing the heat pump.

[0020] Preferably, the base area is square or rectangular and the outer boundary has four outer sides surrounding the base area.

[0021] The base area can also be polygonal, in which case the number of outer sides defining the base area corresponds to the number of corners of the base area. The base area can also be round or oval, or consist of a combination of different base areas, surrounded by an outer boundary. This means that the outer shape of the mounting device is only limited to the extent that the heat pump must be accommodated within the internal volume of the mounting device.

[0022] The at least one first and one second storage compartment are partially or at least partly separated from each other. This allows items to be stored to be separated from the space in which the heat pump is running and protected from dust. Access to the first storage compartment is also safer, as it is impossible to get close to the heat pump when loading the first storage compartment.

[0023] The partial separation can be achieved, for example, by one or more partition walls that do not completely separate the storage space. The partial separation can also be achieved functionally, for example, by installing shelves in the area of ​​a first storage space adjacent to the second storage space, which divide the first storage space more strongly than the second storage space. The functional subdivision or separation is contained in the storage device or in the first storage space and / or second storage space.

[0024] For example, the one opening area or the plurality of opening areas together belonging to the same receiving space have an area that substantially corresponds to an area of ​​an outer side of the respective receiving space.

[0025] Preferably, the at least one closing element closes at least the one or more opening areas or the at least one closing element closes the more opening areas of the first and second receiving space at least partially.

[0026] Preferably, the second receiving space adjoins the first receiving space with at least one surface.

[0027] The adjacent surface represents a side surface perpendicular to the ground or a surface parallel to the ground. However, it is also possible that the first receiving space is arranged above the second receiving space for the heat pump and the adjacent surface then runs parallel to the ground.

[0028] Preferably, the second receiving space has a volume that allows sufficient ventilation for the heat pump.

[0029] For example, the opening areas to one or more receiving spaces are arranged on at least two adjacent sides of the storage device. This means that the first and / or second receiving space can have one or more opening areas located on adjacent outer sides and / or on opposite outer sides. However, only one of the receiving spaces can have two or more opening areas located on adjacent outer sides and / or on opposite outer sides.

[0030] It is also possible for a first and a second recording room to each have only one door on the same outside.

[0031] For example, the at least one first receiving space extends laterally next to the second receiving space and / or above the second receiving space.

[0032] The at least one first receiving space has a base plate. The second receiving space is open at the bottom, or the second receiving space has a base plate with openings through which the support structure of the heat pump extends.

[0033] For example, the at least one first receiving space is designed as a parcel box, mailbox, garbage can holder, garbage bag holder, bicycle garage, or equipment cabinet.

[0034] Preferably, at least the second receiving space has internal sound insulation.

[0035] For example, the outer walls of the receiving device are designed to be sound-insulated on their inner side surfaces.

[0036] Preferably, the receiving device comprises an air supply duct which opens into the lateral outer boundary and / or upper cover and is designed to supply outside air to the second receiving space and / or an exhaust air duct which leads from the second receiving space to the lateral outer boundary and / or upper cover and is designed to remove air.

[0037] Preferably, the air supply duct and the exhaust duct are spaced apart from each other. For example, the air supply duct and the exhaust duct are located on different or opposite outer sides or in the top cover. It is also possible to have only one air supply duct or one exhaust duct.

[0038] Preferably, the receiving device is also designed as a storage device or housing.

[0039] Preferably, the outer walls are made of weather-resistant material or coated with a weather-resistant material.

[0040] Preferably, the ventilation openings in the side wall of the second receiving space are adapted to an air outlet of a heat pump and / or the dimension of the ventilation opening is adapted to the air outlet of the heat pump.

[0041] For example, the heat pump stands freely in the second receiving space without touching the sides of the second receiving space.

[0042] For example, the horizontal dimensions of the first and second receiving spaces parallel to an outer side of the receiving device substantially correspond to a length of this outer side.

[0043] For example, the floor areas of the recording rooms in a horizontal sectional plane together essentially correspond to the floor area of ​​the recording device.

[0044] For example, the at least first and second receiving space of the storage device essentially completely fills the internal volume of the receiving device.

[0045] For example, the height, depth and / or width of each recording room is independent of the heights, depths and widths of the other recording rooms.

[0046] For example, at least two recording rooms located one above the other have the same floor space.

[0047] For example, a width and / or height of at least one recording room is greater than a depth of that recording room.

[0048] For example, at least two receiving spaces, the opening areas of which are arranged on opposite outer sides of the receiving device, adjoin one another at their rear sides.

[0049] For example, two adjacent, three or four outer sides of the storage device have opening areas.

[0050] For example, a receiving space whose opening area is located on the middle outer side protrudes between receiving spaces whose opening areas are located on the outer outer sides.

[0051] For example, horizontal and / or vertical support elements are arranged between the receiving spaces.

[0052] Preferably, the partition walls are provided between the receiving spaces, which are fastened by means of fastening elements to a floor surface and / or to a side wall and / or to a second side wall and / or to an upper side of the storage device.

[0053] For example, the fastening elements have a U-shaped cross-section. For example, the partition walls are attached to the floor surface at a distance determined by the fastening elements.

[0054] Preferably, one opening area can be closed by one or more closing elements and / or several opening areas can be closed by one closing element. At least one closing element can be designed as a door, flap, insert front, or roller shutter.

[0055] For example, at least one of the receiving spaces has a drawer, insert, shelf and / or suspension means that is not connected to the heat pump to be housed in the second receiving space.

[0056] Preferably, at least one receiving space has a plurality of closing elements on an outer side.

[0057] Preferably, the closure elements extend substantially over the entire surface of the outer side.

[0058] For example, at least one of the receiving spaces has opening areas on two different outer sides and / or on two different adjacent outer sides of the receiving device.

[0059] For example, the top of the receiving device has at least one opening area. The top of the storage device can be designed as a flat roof, a pent roof, a gable roof, or a saddle roof.

[0060] Preferably, all receiving spaces of the storage device are accessible at ground level. However, only one receiving space of the storage device can be accessible at ground level, and at least one additional receiving space can be arranged above the receiving space accessible at ground level.

[0061] For example, the top of the support device can be covered with greenery or designed as a flowerbed. Furthermore, the support device can have at least one solar / photovoltaic panel.

[0062] The receiving device may further comprise at least one power supply connection.

[0063] The receiving device has a central locking system for several receiving rooms and / or at least one local locking system for each receiving room.

[0064] The storage facility can be designed as a garden house, tool shed or shed.

[0065] Two recording rooms can be separated completely or partially by at least one partition wall.

[0066] A common receiving space can be further functionally divided into receiving areas, wherein at least one receiving area is suitable for receiving a heat pump and one or more further receiving areas are suitable for receiving other things.

[0067] For example, the receiving area suitable for receiving the heat pump may contain or include or have a device which at least largely prevents exhaust air from the heat pump from mixing with the intake air.

[0068] For example, the receiving area suitable for receiving the heat pump can be designed without wall boundaries on at least one side, i.e. open.

[0069] Batteries and power storage devices pose a risk of explosion or fire. To reduce this risk, it is therefore further advantageous to place at least one battery or power storage device outside the house. This involves efficient use of the property outside the house and further protecting the batteries and power storage devices from external weather influences.

[0070] Therefore, it is further advantageous to accommodate the at least one battery or the at least one power storage medium in the first receiving space, for example, to store power from at least one photovoltaic system arranged on the house and / or the receiving device, to reduce the risk of explosion or fire in the house, and to efficiently utilize the land outside the house. The batteries can also be used to operate the heat pump.

[0071] It is particularly advantageous if the opening area or the associated closing element of the second receiving chamber, which is intended for the heat pump, has a different opening mechanism than the first receiving chamber. This makes it more difficult to accidentally open the second receiving chamber, so that, for example, children cannot easily access the heat pump in the second receiving chamber.

[0072] The cooler exhaust air from the heat pump can optionally be used to cool a room adjacent to the second room before being discharged. Cooling of a solar / photovoltaic panel or a battery is also possible. Short description of the characters

[0074] Embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

[0075] According to the present invention, a receiving device for the outdoor area is specified in which a receiving space for a heat pump 20 and at least one further receiving space for other things are realized.

[0076] The Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show an embodiment of the outdoor recording device. Fig. 1 shows a frontal view and Fig. 2 a perspective one.

[0077] The Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show several first recording rooms 111 and a second recording room 112.

[0078] According to Fig. 1, there are three first receiving spaces 111 arranged one above the other, which are arranged next to a further first receiving space 111 and a second receiving space 112. The further first receiving space 111 is arranged above the second receiving space 112, which is designed to accommodate a heat pump 20. The heat pump 20 is arranged on a support structure 201. The support structure 201 extends through the base of the second receiving device 112 or is supported directly on the ground or on a foundation or rests directly on the ground. Therefore, the second receiving space 112 is designed to be open at the bottom. This allows the receiving device with the second receiving space 112 to be placed over a pre-installed heat pump 20 or to be erected around a pre-installed heat pump 20. By avoiding contact with the heat pump 20, sound transmission is reduced.

[0079] The second receiving space 112 has a volume suitable for accommodating the heat pump 20, i.e., the volume of the second receiving space 112 is adapted to the requirements of the heat pump 20. The volume of the second receiving space 112 necessary to accommodate the heat pump 20 is determined, for example, by a sufficient distance from the walls of the second receiving space 112 so that no oscillations or vibrations are transmitted from the heat pump 20 to the walls of the second receiving space 112, or by ensuring that a sufficient amount of air is present or made available around the heat pump 20.

[0080] The first receiving space 111, which is arranged above the second receiving space 112, has the same width and depth as the second receiving space 112.

[0081] The three stacked first receiving spaces 111, which are arranged next to the second receiving space 112, each have the same width, height, and depth. The three stacked receiving spaces 111 can further have side walls formed from a common plate.

[0082] The upper side of the middle of the three first receiving spaces 111 arranged one above the other is flush with the upper side of the second receiving space 112.

[0083] The upper side of the uppermost of the three superimposed receiving spaces 111 is flush with the first receiving space 111, which is arranged on top of the second receiving space 112. These two receiving spaces 111 arranged above can have a common upper cover 113.

[0084] The first receiving spaces 111 and the second receiving space 112 are open to the same side of the receiving device. That is, the opening areas of the first and second receiving spaces 111, 112 face the same outer side.

[0085] Furthermore, the heat pump 20 has an air inlet and / or air outlet 202 which is directed towards the side of the opening area of ​​the second receiving space 112.

[0086] Fig. 3 shows another embodiment of the outdoor receiving device. The outdoor receiving device shown in Fig. 3, a comparable arrangement of the first receiving spaces 111 and the second receiving space 112, which are shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is shown.

[0087] The three first receiving spaces 111 arranged one above the other, which are arranged next to the second receiving space 112, can also be configured as a contiguous first receiving space 111. The receiving device can comprise any number of further first receiving spaces 111.

[0088] The three first receiving spaces 111 arranged one above the other are closed by a common closing element 12. The second receiving space 112 is closed by a further closing element 12. This closing element 12 has ventilation openings 13 to supply the heat pump 20 with sufficient air from the outside and / or so that the heat pump 20 can release sufficient exhaust air to the environment. Further ventilation openings (not shown) can be arranged on a rear wall of the second receiving space 112 or on a lateral outer boundary of the receiving device. For example, the ventilation opening 13 in the closing element 12 is used to introduce air from the outside into the second receiving space 112, and the ventilation openings (not shown) in the rear wall are used to discharge air from the second receiving space to the outside, or vice versa.

[0089] The first receiving space 111, which is arranged above the second receiving space 112, is closed by a further closing element 12.

[0090] The locking elements 12 can be secured against burglary with locks (not shown) or have security mechanisms that prevent accidental opening. The locking elements 12 can be connected by a common locking system, but can also be individually locked and unlocked. For example, the plurality of first receiving spaces 111 can be provided with simple door bolts. For example, a square may be required to open the second receiving space 112 to prevent accidental opening of the second receiving space 112. In general, the first and second receiving spaces can have different opening mechanisms.

[0091] Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment of the receiving device for outdoor use. The receiving device according to Fig. 4 has a large second receiving space 112, which has an opening area on its front side, i.e., on a side facing forward. Furthermore, a base surface of the second receiving space 112, i.e., a surface facing downward, is open.

[0092] In other words, the second receiving space 112 is formed by three lateral outer boundaries and an upper cover of the receiving device. Within the second receiving space, there are two smaller first receiving spaces 111 arranged one above the other. The common opening area is closed by two closing elements 12, with the left closing element 12 also closing the opening areas of the first receiving spaces 111.

[0093] Thus, a part of the second receiving space 112 is also present above the two first receiving spaces.

[0094] The second receiving space 112 is provided for accommodating the heat pump 20. The heat pump 20 stands on a support structure 201, which is placed directly on the ground, i.e., the subsurface; i.e., the support structure 201 extends through a base area of ​​the receiving device. The two first receiving spaces 111, arranged one above the other, are arranged next to the heat pump 20. The two first receiving spaces 111 are formed by two side walls, a rear wall, a top side, and a base plate; i.e., an opening area of ​​the two first receiving spaces 111 points in the same direction as the opening area of ​​the second receiving space 112.

[0095] A side wall and / or the rear wall of the first receiving spaces 111 can each be formed by a lateral outer boundary of the receiving device. The upper side of the lower first receiving devices 111 can form the base plate of the upper first receiving device 111.

[0096] A free space exists between the top of the uppermost first receiving device 111 and the upper cover of the receiving device. Thus, the top of the uppermost first receiving device 111 provides an additional storage option.

[0097] A first and a second closing element 12 can be hinged to each of the two parallel lateral outer boundaries of the receiving device. The opening areas of the first receiving space(s) 111 and the second receiving space 112 are closed by the first and second closing elements 12.

[0098] The first closure element 12 is attached to the side wall of the first receiving space 111, on which the two first receiving spaces 111 are arranged. The second closure element 12 is arranged on the opposite side wall, i.e., on the side wall of the second receiving space 112, on which the heat pump 20 is arranged.

[0099] The first closing element 12 is adapted so that it can cover or close the two first receiving spaces 111 as well as the free space above the two stacked first receiving spaces 111, without covering further areas of the front side of the second receiving space 112.

[0100] The second closing element 12 covers the remaining areas of the front side of the second receiving space 112, so that the front side of the second receiving space 112 can be completely covered or closed by the first and second closing elements 12.

[0101] The second closure element 12 further has ventilation openings 13. Furthermore, at least one of the three lateral outer boundaries and / or the upper cover of the receiving device can also have ventilation openings (not shown). The ventilation openings 13 can be arranged directly in front of an air inlet or in front of an air outlet 202 of the heat pump 20. Channels can also be provided that enable targeted air supply or exhaust.

[0102] Fig. 6 shows another embodiment of the outdoor receiving device.

[0103] Fig. Figure 6 shows three first receiving spaces 111 arranged one above the other, each formed by two side walls, a rear wall, a top surface, and a base plate. The side walls are arranged parallel and connected by a rear wall. The top surface rests on the side walls and the rear wall, and the base plate is arranged below the side walls and the rear wall.

[0104] The three first receiving spaces 111 arranged one above the other can have a common rear wall and common side walls. Furthermore, the common rear wall and one of the common side walls can each be formed by a lateral outer boundary of the receiving device, and / or the upper side of the uppermost of the three first receiving spaces 111 can be formed by an upper cover of the receiving space.

[0105] Furthermore, the upper side of the middle of the three first receiving spaces 111 can form the base plate of the upper of the three first receiving spaces 111 and / or the base plate of the middle of the three first receiving spaces 111 can form the upper side of the lower of the three first receiving spaces 111. Furthermore, not only three, but any other number of first receiving spaces or only one first receiving space can be realized according to the same principle (not shown).

[0106] Further shows Fig. 6 a second receiving space 112 surrounding the heat pump 20. The second receiving space 112 has two side walls, a top side, and a rear wall. The side walls are arranged parallel and are connected by the rear wall. The top side rests on the side walls and the rear wall. The side walls of the second receiving space 112 can each be formed by one of the lateral outer boundaries of the receiving device. The top side of the second receiving space 112 can be formed by the upper cover of the receiving device.

[0107] In the embodiment according to Fig. 6, the opening area to the second receiving space 112 is arranged on a side wall adjacent to the opening area of ​​the first or first receiving spaces 111. This means that the opening areas and also the closing elements are located on different, i.e., adjacent, side walls. It is also possible for only the first receiving spaces 111 to be accessible from both opposite sides, i.e., for the opening areas to be located on opposite sides of the receiving device.

[0108] The three first receiving spaces 111 can be closed by two closing elements 12, each of which is hinged to the side walls of the three stacked first receiving spaces 111. However, the three first receiving spaces can also be closed by only one closing element that is hinged to the top or one of the side walls (not shown).

[0109] The second receiving space 12 can be closed by the closing element 12 with ventilation openings 13.

[0110] The rear wall of the second receiving space 112 is parallel to the side walls of the first receiving space 111, that is, an opening portion of the three stacked first receiving spaces 111 and an opening portion of the second receiving space 112 point in directions perpendicular to each other.

[0111] The rear wall of the second receiving space may also be arranged parallel to the rear wall of the first receiving space (not shown), ie the opening areas of the three stacked first receiving spaces 111 and the opening areas of the second receiving space 112 may also point in opposite directions.
