Description

[0001] Keep safe

[0002] The invention relates to a storage cabinet for an arrangement comprising a battery, in particular for a water sports device, in particular for a diving sled.

[0003] Battery-powered water sports equipment, such as diving sleds, is increasingly being used in water sports. These diving sleds allow users to perform both surface and underwater dives. Such water sports equipment is often part of a yacht's equipment. When not in use, the equipment must be safely stored on board the yacht. Storage should be arranged so that the user can access the water sports equipment quickly and easily if necessary.

[0004] The object of the invention is therefore to provide a storage cabinet of the type mentioned at the beginning, which enables safe and space-saving storage.

[0005] This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Accordingly, a storage cabinet is proposed, wherein the storage cabinet has a closing frame which can be closed with a cabinet door arranged opposite a cabinet rear wall, wherein in the open state of the cabinet door the projection of the inside of the door into the plane of the closing frame is arranged at least for the most part between two vertical sides of the storage cabinet, wherein in this open state of the cabinet door the inside of the door is facing outwards, away from the cabinet rear wall, and wherein the cabinet door has at least one fastening element in the region of the inside of the door for fastening the arrangement comprising an accumulator, in particular the water sports device.

[0006] With this storage cabinet, for example, the water sports equipment can be easily secured to the inside of the door for storage when the cabinet door is open. This is easily possible because, when the cabinet door is open, the inside of the door faces the user. The cabinet door is arranged so that, in the open position, it is positioned between the vertical sides of the storage space, so that it does not protrude far forward. This means that the storage cabinet requires only a small amount of maneuvering space and enables a space-saving design. This also results in the storage cabinet being highly stable against tipping. As soon as the battery assembly, in particular the watercraft, is securely fastened to the inside of the door, the cabinet door can be turned again and closed, whereby the assembly comprising a battery, in particular the water sports equipment, is then safely accommodated inside the cabinet.

[0007] Preferably, a battery charging device can be arranged inside or outside the storage cabinet. The battery or battery arrangement (e.g., the water sports equipment) can be connected to this charging device via a charging port. Thus, the device stored inside the cabinet can be charged simultaneously while it is being stored. For this purpose, the storage space can preferably have a cable duct or a power connection. Additionally or alternatively, it can also be provided that other electronic components housed inside the cabinet are electrified via the power connection.

[0008] According to a preferred variant of the invention, the cabinet door can be pivotably hinged by means of door hinges in the central area between the vertical sides of the cabinet door. Thus, when the cabinet door is open, the mounting plane formed by the inside of the door for the assembly comprising a battery, in particular the water sports equipment, is in close proximity to the closing frame. This results in a particularly tilt-stable and space-saving structure.

[0009] According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the closing frame has closing frame cross struts on opposite sides, which extend between the opposite cabinet side walls, that the pivot axis of the cabinet door runs perpendicular to these closing frame cross struts, and that the pivot axis is arranged centrally between the side walls with a deviation of 20% of the cabinet width, wherein it is preferably provided that the pivot axis is arranged centrally between the side walls with a deviation of 10% of the cabinet width, wherein it is particularly preferably provided that the pivot axis is arranged centrally between the side walls with a deviation of 5% of the cabinet width.

[0010] It is particularly preferred that the hinge axis runs in the middle of the cross struts.

[0011] A particularly stable mounting of the cabinet door can be achieved if the cabinet door is hinged to the closing frame cross struts using door hinges.

[0012] If the cabinet door is provided with a door frame that extends at least partially around the perimeter and has horizontal and / or vertical door profiles, if a door leaf is connected to the door frame, or if horizontal and / or vertical door profiles are bent from the door leaf, and if the door hinges are preferably coupled to the horizontal door profiles, then a stable and torsion-resistant door construction results. Thus, even a heavy assembly comprising a battery, in particular the water sports equipment, can be securely attached to the inside of the cabinet door.

[0013] For a stable and highly resilient cabinet structure, it can be provided that a frame is provided, that the frame forms a base frame and a cover frame composed of width and depth struts, that the base frame and the cover frame are connected to one another by means of vertical frame profiles and that the cabinet door is connected directly or indirectly to the frame via the door hinges.

[0014] In this case, stable load transfer from the cabinet door to the frame is advantageously achieved if it is provided that a first closing frame cross strut running parallel to the width strut is arranged at a distance from the floor-side width strut and / or a second closing frame cross strut running parallel to the width strut is arranged at a distance from the deck-side width strut, and that the closing frame cross strut(s) is / are coupled to the vertical frame profiles. Advantageously, the closing frame cross strut facing the floor frame under the cabinet door is arranged such that it absorbs the majority of the weight of the cabinet door (and the weight of the assembly attached to it, comprising a battery, in particular the water sports equipment). In this case, it can then be the case, in particular, that the cabinet door is pivotally mounted at least on this closing frame cross strut.

[0015] It can be particularly advantageous for the storage cabinet to be lined with one or more wall elements, in particular with side walls in the region of its vertical sides, and / or with a rear wall in the region of its rear side and / or with a top wall on the top side and / or with a bottom wall on the bottom side, and that preferably at least one of the wall elements and / or the cabinet door is formed from a multi-layered layer element, wherein the layer element preferably has two spaced-apart cover layers, between which a fire-retardant, in particular insulating material, is introduced. This material can be a mineral fiber material.

[0016] The layered element can, for example, be designed as a sandwich panel system with a panel thickness of, for example, 24 mm, consisting of a cover layer (outer wall): with a thickness of preferably 2.0 mm aluminum, a core layer with a thickness of preferably 20.0 mm mineral fiber insulation, non-combustible and a cover layer (inner wall) with a thickness of preferably 2.0 mm aluminum.

[0017] If a battery thermally breaks down and causes a fire, the wall elements prevent the fire from spreading to the environment outside the storage cabinet, at least for a certain period of time. This is particularly advantageous if the storage cabinet is used to store a watercraft on board a ship.

[0018] Additionally or according to an independent inventive concept, to reduce the risk of fire, it can be provided that an extinguishing system is integrated into the cabinet interior, wherein it is preferably provided that the extinguishing system has an extinguishing agent collecting tray to which a delivery line is connected, and that a pump is assigned to the delivery line, which pump is suitable and intended to convey the extinguishing agent from the extinguishing agent collecting tray to a nozzle arrangement arranged at a geodetic height above the extinguishing agent collecting tray, in particular above the cabinet door. With the extinguishing system, an extinguishing circuit can therefore be assigned to the storage cabinet, wherein in the event of a fire, the extinguishing agent is pumped out of the extinguishing agent collecting tray, which is preferably located below the cabinet door in the direction of gravity, and is sprayed into the cabinet interior via the nozzle arrangement.This allows the fire to be extinguished inside the cabinet or at least to provide cooling in the event of a fire. In particular, it can also be provided that an extinguishing agent storage container is assigned to the storage cabinet. The extinguishing agent storage container can be assigned to the extinguishing circuit. The extinguishing agent storage container is preferably housed in a space-saving manner inside the storage cabinet, for example, in the direction of gravity in an area below the cabinet door.

[0019] A further preferred variant of the invention can be such that the cabinet interior is connected to the environment via a gas passage, wherein a flue gas treatment device, in particular a flue gas filter and / or a degassing catalyst, is arranged in the region of the gas passage, wherein the flue gas treatment device is designed to treat combustion gases in the event of a fire before they enter the environment, wherein it is preferably provided that the flue gas treatment device and / or the catalyst has calcium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate and / or activated carbon as the active gas treatment substance. The flue gases produced in the event of a fire can thus be released into the environment via the gas passage in order to avoid pressure overload in the cabinet interior. The flue gases are treated by means of the flue gas treatment device in order to avoid or at least reduce harmful emissions.Additionally, the flue gas treatment device may include a cooling device designed and constructed to cool the flue gas as it passes through the flue gas treatment device. For example, the flue gas treatment device may include a region lined with mineral fibers through which the flue gas is passed. The mineral fibers may, for example, be in the form of a woven or woven fabric or even a foam-like material.

[0020] For example, the flue gas treatment system can be designed to neutralize acidic components of the combustion gas, such as sulfur oxides, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen fluoride, etc., using calcium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and / or activated carbon, or to neutralize these components in the catalyst. Environmentally neutral residues, such as salts, are produced. Activated carbon, for example, can be used to neutralize released heavy metals and organic combustion byproducts.

[0021] If the batteries of an arrangement housed in a storage cabinet, comprising a battery, in particular of the water sports equipment, become defective, this can cause an explosive overpressure to build up in the interior of the cabinet. In order to be able to relieve this overpressure safely, it can be provided that, when the cabinet door is closed, a door seal, preferably a silicone seal, is effective at least in some areas between the locking frame and the cabinet door, that the cabinet door is locked to the locking frame by means of at least one, preferably several locking bolts, and that, preferably, a pressure compensation device is provided which is designed to adjust the cabinet door relative to the locking frame when the cabinet door is closed in the event of overpressure in the interior of the cabinet. During normal operation, the door seal ensures the tightness of the storage device.If excess pressure suddenly builds up inside the cabinet, the cabinet door is adjusted relative to the locking frame, opening a gap in the sealing area through which the pressure can be released. Preferably, this gap closes again once the pressure has been released. For this purpose, it can be provided, for example, that at least one spring element is provided as part of the pressure compensation device between at least one door hinge and the locking frame and / or between at least one locking bolt and the locking frame, in order to effect adjustment of the cabinet door in the closed state against the spring preload of the spring element.

[0022] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment illustrated in the drawings. They show:

[0023] Figure 1 shows a storage cabinet in perspective side view,

[0024] Figure 2 shows the storage cabinet according to Figure 1 with the cabinet door partially opened

[0025] Figure 3 shows the storage cabinet according to Figures 1 and 2 in front view,

[0026] Figure 4 shows the storage cabinet according to Figures 1 to 3 in view from the left and

[0027] Figure 5 shows the storage cabinet according to Figures 1 to 4 in view from the left and.

[0028] Figures 1 and 2 show a storage cabinet for an assembly comprising a rechargeable battery. Representing any rechargeable battery-operated device or even rechargeable batteries themselves, the invention is described below using the example of a storage cabinet for a water sports device 60, in particular a diving sled, for which the invention is particularly advantageously suited. The water sports device 60 can be stored in this storage cabinet in a space-saving and secure manner.

[0029] The storage cabinet has a frame 10, which has a base frame and a top frame.

[0030] The floor frame is composed of horizontal width struts 14.1 and horizontal depth struts 13.1.

[0031] The deck frame can also be composed of horizontal width struts 14.2 and horizontal depth struts 13.2.

[0032] The floor frame and the cover frame are connected to each other via four vertical frame profiles 11,12.

[0033] In the corner areas of the frame 10, a depth brace 13.1, 13.2 and a width brace 14.1, 14.2 are each connected to an associated vertical frame profile 11, 12. Preferably, corner connectors 15 are used. It is conceivable for the corner connectors 15 to have plug-in projections that are inserted into plug-in receptacles of the depth braces 13.1, 13.2, the width braces 14.1, 14.2 and / or the vertical frame profiles 11, 12.

[0034] Preferably, the vertical frame profiles 11, 12, the depth struts 13.1, 13.2, and the width struts 14.1, 14.2 are made of aluminum and preferably as extruded aluminum profiles. Advantageously, the plug-in receptacles can then be integrated as a single piece into the extruded profile.

[0035] The corner connectors 15 are preferably welded to the adjoining profiles to form a stable frame structure. The storage cabinet can be lined with wall elements. For this purpose, the wall elements are preferably suitably connected to the frame 10, in particular screwed or welded. Side walls 22, 24 can be attached to the sides of the frame 10 on both vertical sides. A top wall 21 can be attached in the area of ​​the upper cover frame. A rear wall 25 and a bottom wall 23 can be attached to the frame 10 at the rear.

[0036] Advantageously, all sides of the frame 10 are closed with wall elements, except for the front side, which can be closed with a cabinet door 30.

[0037] At least one of the wall elements and / or the cabinet door 30 can advantageously be designed as a multi-layer component. It comprises an outer panel facing the cabinet exterior and an inner panel facing the cabinet interior. A further layer, designed, for example, as a fire protection layer, can be arranged between the outer panel and the inner panel. A gypsum material or a mineral fiber material, for example, can be used as the fire protection layer. It is also conceivable to omit the inner panel.

[0038] In the area of ​​the front of the cabinet, the frame 10 has a closing frame 27 for the cabinet door 30.

[0039] The closing frame 27 can preferably be partially formed by the two front vertical frame profiles 12 to reduce the number of parts required. Additionally or alternatively, the closing frame 27 can be partially formed by closing frame cross struts 28.1, 29.1. The closing frame cross struts 28.1, 29.1 are spaced apart and extend horizontally and can be connected to the vertical frame profiles 12, thus providing a stable supporting structure for the cabinet door 30.

[0040] The vertical frame profiles 11 and the closing frame cross braces 28.1, 29.1 thus form the surrounding closing frame 27. A surrounding seal, such as a silicone seal, can be provided on the closing frame 27 and / or on the cabinet door 30. It is also conceivable to use a seal that expands in the event of a fire to ensure a room seal in the event of a fire. The seal seals the cabinet door 30 when closed.

[0041] As Figure 2 shows, the cabinet door 30 can advantageously have a door frame 31. The door frame 31 is composed of horizontal door profiles 33 and vertical door profiles 32. In particular, the door profiles 32, 33 are welded together in the corner area of ​​the door frame 31.

[0042] A door leaf 34 is connected to the door profiles 32, 33, forming the front end of the cabinet door 30. The door leaf 34 can, as explained above, be designed as a multi-layer component. The inner side 37 of the cabinet door 30, which faces the inside of the cabinet when closed, forms a mounting section. Fastening elements to which the water sports device 60 can be attached can be attached. Advantageously, as shown in Figure 2, the water sports device 60 does not protrude beyond the door profiles 32 and 33.

[0043] Advantageously, the cabinet door 30 is connected to the frame 10 by means of door hinges 35. The door hinges 35 can advantageously be coupled to hinge receptacles 36 in the central region of the horizontal door profiles 33, preferably in the center of the door profiles 33 and / or in the center of the horizontal closing frame cross struts 28.1, 29.1. Preferably, the door hinges 35 form a vertical hinge axis, as shown in Figure 2.

[0044] For optimal load transfer, the door hinges 35 are connected to the closing frame cross struts 28.1, 29.1.

[0045] Figure 2 also illustrates that the door frame 31 has a peripheral

[0046] Sealing surface 31.1. When the cabinet door 30 is closed, this circumferential sealing surface 31.1 faces a circumferential sealing surface of the locking frame 27 with the above-mentioned seal interposed.

[0047] If the cabinet door 30 is pivoted out of its closed position shown in Figure 1, the circumferential sealing surface 31.1 of the cabinet door 30 is guided past the sealing surface of the closing frame 27 in order to enable the cabinet door 30 to be opened.

[0048] Figure 2 shows a partially open position of the cabinet door 30. The cabinet door 30 can preferably be rotated continuously in both directions around the hinge axis, allowing the user to conveniently access the water sports equipment 60. In particular, the user can also arrange the cabinet door 30 so that it is aligned parallel to the rear wall 25. This allows for easy attachment of the water sports equipment 60 to the cabinet door 30 or easy removal of the water sports equipment 60 from the cabinet door 30. Because the cabinet door 30 is hinged to the frame 10 in its center, little maneuvering space is required in the area in front of the front of the storage cabinet when opening the cabinet door 30.

[0049] When the cabinet door 30 is closed again, the water sports device 60 pivots into the cabinet interior with the cabinet door 30. Locking bolts 39 can be arranged on the cabinet door to lock it. Preferably, several locking bolts 39 are used to enable multi-point locking. The locking bolts 39 are centrally controlled by a locking element 39.1, which can preferably be manually operated by the user on the front of the door.

[0050] Preferably, the locking bolts 39 engage in the vertical frame profiles 11 and / or in the locking frame cross struts 28.1, 29.1 when the cabinet door 30 is closed.

[0051] As Figure 2 illustrates, a wall element in the form of a panel 28 may be arranged in the area between the upper closing frame cross brace and the associated deck-side width brace. This panel 28 may be equipped with functional elements on the front.

[0052] For example, it is possible for the panel 28 to have a display 28.2, which can be used to indicate the operating status of the storage cabinet. It is also conceivable for control elements 28.3 to be arranged in the area of ​​the panel 28, with which functions of the storage cabinet can be controlled. Finally, it is also conceivable for a main switch 28.3 to be provided in the area of ​​the panel 28 to disconnect the electronics of the storage cabinet from a connected power supply.

[0053] For connecting the storage cabinet to a power supply, a power connection 40, for example, can be provided. For easy accessibility, the power connection 40 can preferably be located near the front of the storage cabinet. It is conceivable that a floor panel 29, which preferably includes the power connection 40, is inserted between the lower closing frame cross brace 29.1 and the width brace 14.1 of the floor frame.

[0054] According to one variant of the invention, a flue gas treatment device 50 can be provided in the region of the cover wall 21. The flue gas treatment device 50 is mounted in the region of an opening in the cover wall 21 (or another wall element).

[0055] The cabinet interior is connected to the environment via the flue gas treatment device 50. In the event of a fire, flue gases can be discharged into the environment via the flue gas treatment device 50. As they pass through the flue gas treatment device 50, pollutants in the flue gas are at least partially neutralized.

[0056] As the figures show, transport handles 26 can be attached in the area of ​​the vertical frame profiles 11 and 12 to facilitate carrying the storage cabinet.
