Acoustic element with modular honeycomb structure and textile covering, optionally with integrated light

Abstract

Acoustic element for acoustic optimization of interior spaces, comprising: • a support frame to hold the components, • one made of acoustically effective PET honeycomb structure • a main absorber arranged above it made of open-pore acoustic material, in particular Basotect, • a textile covering, which is arranged at a defined distance above the main absorber, • as well as spacers between the honeycomb body and the main absorber, whereby the spacers enable elastic decoupling of the components.

L-profile support Serves as a basic mechanical structure to hold the entire structure and connect it to the rope system. 2. Acoustic fleece (side) For acoustic dampening and lateral insulation. Prevents sound reflections onto metal parts of the luminaire housing. Positioned on the inside of the aluminum frame. 3. Acoustic honeycomb body Consists of acoustically effective PET fleece material. The elliptical cutouts on the top allow for targeted sound refraction and air circulation. The sound is refracted by the honeycomb structure and directed toward the main absorber. 4. Spacers with acoustic decoupling Flexible elements (e.g. rubber) to hold the upper components and to provide acoustic decoupling between the honeycomb body and the structure above. 5. Sound-transparent covering fabric Mounted on a separate support structure approximately 10 mm from the top surface (absorber). It serves as a visual mask and to transmit sound. 6. Supporting structure for fabric covering Wire or metal structure with a slight upward curvature to ensure the defined distance to the absorber (point 7). 7. Main absorber (Basotect or similar) Central absorber for sound energy absorption. Positioned directly above the fabric layer. 8. Example LED ring light Visualizes an application, can be implemented in different geometries (round, oval, square, free form). 9. Suspension cables Run from the lower L-profile (point 1) to the rope branches (point 10) and support the entire structure. 10. Rope branch / holding point Allows integration of the acoustic element into existing lighting suspensions or ceiling structures. Flexible adaptation to standard lighting fixtures. 2. Technical area

[0004] The invention relates to the field of room acoustics and lighting technology, in particular to acoustically effective ceiling or pendant modules with a modular structure and textile surface for sound absorption, with an optionally integrated lighting unit. 3. State of the art

[0005] Acoustically effective elements based on absorber panels (e.g., melamine resin foam) are known from the state of the art, as are systems with textile coverings. A targeted combination of a textile-covered frame, an acoustically effective PET honeycomb structure, acoustic decoupling via spacers, and optionally integrated lighting has not yet been developed in a modular, easy-to-install form. 4. Object of the invention

[0006] The object of the invention is to provide an acoustic element that enables high acoustic effectiveness, optical flexibility, modular construction and easy integration into existing ceiling or lighting systems. 5. Solution to the task

[0007] The task is solved by a multi-layer acoustic element with the following features: - a Basotect absorber as the main sound absorber, - an acoustically effective PET honeycomb structure arranged underneath, - Spacers with acoustic decoupling function (e.g. rubber inserts), - a textile covering at a defined distance above the absorber, - a supporting structure (L-profiles, rope suspension) for assembly, - optionally integrated lights, especially LED ring lights, - a modular design to adapt to different sizes, shapes and colors. 6. Advantages of the invention • high acoustic effectiveness due to defined air chamber and honeycomb structure • visually appealing textile surface • Easy installation using modular plug-in or screw connections • Decoupling of the acoustic levels to improve absorption • Integration into lighting concepts possible (e.g. with ring or surface lights) 7. Example

[0008] A preferred embodiment is shown in the accompanying drawings ( Fig. 1-3). The exploded view ( Fig. 1) shows the modular structure. The cross-sectional view ( Fig. 2) explains the vertical layering of the components. A detailed view ( Fig. 3) illustrates the design of the honeycomb structure with millings as well as the formation of air chambers below the covering. 8. Scope of protection / request for protection (optional but recommended)

[0009] Protection is claimed for the described structure of an acoustic element with: - Honeycomb structure made of PET, - acoustically decoupled spacers, - textile stretcher frame, - Basotect or comparable absorber, - optional integrated light, - freely combinable, modular structure
