Description

[0001] A Ceiling Structure Used in Cabinets or Generators

[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The invention relates to a ceiling structure made of plastic derivatives, sheet steel or wood, which can be used in all types of cabins produced to protect equipment such as engines, alternators, compressors, dryers, fans, especially generators, and which can be used in cabins or generators.

[0004] PRIOR ART

[0005] In today's applications, the size of the cabin and generator structure directly affects the complexity of the design and production processes. The ceiling of the cabin plays a critical role in the functionality and durability of these structures. When the production method from a single piece of steel sheet is used, it is aimed to create a high quality and durable structure. However, in this process, the wastage rate that may occur during the processing of the sheet increases production costs and makes it difficult to obtain the desired amount of material. In addition, problems with special plate sizes that are not available in the market make the production process even more complicated, which increases costs and puts a strain on the budget. In addition, multi-piece ceiling designs also bring various difficulties. Parts not being compatible with each other cause significant difficulties during the installation phase. Designing and manufacturing each part separately means additional costs and loss of time. Moreover, this type of installation is bound to adversely affect the water-tightness of the cabin or generator. Watertightness is critical to the durability of cabinets and generators; if this feature is not provided, damage that may occur to the internal parts shortens the life of the devices and reduces operating efficiency.

[0006] As a result, there are many factors to consider in cabinet and generator designs. Factors such as the choice of production method, material quality, part compatibility and water tightness have a direct impact on the success of the project. Therefore, careful planning and implementation is required at every stage. Good management of the design process both reduces costs and enables more durable and functional structures to be obtained in the long term. As a result of the research conducted in the literature, a Turkish patent application with application number "2022 / 017001" and the invention title "IMPROVEMENT MADE IN ELECTRIC GENERATOR" was encountered. Mentioned application relates to the development of an electric generator that can be used wherever electricity is needed. However, in the mentioned application, there is no evidence of a ceiling structure that can be used to protect equipment such as engines, alternators, compressors, dryers, fans, which are used in all types of cabins made of steel sheet or wood, especially generators.

[0007] As a result, the abovementioned problems and the problems that cannot be solved in the light of the state of the art have made it necessary to make an improvement in the relevant technical field.

[0008] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The present invention relates to a ceiling structure used in cabins or generators in order to eliminate the abovementioned disadvantages and to bring new advantages to the relevant technical field.

[0010] The main purpose of the invention is to protect the relevant equipment used in all cabin types, especially generators, such as engines, alternators, compressors, dryers and fans, from external factors such as rain.

[0011] The invention, in order to fulfil all the aforementioned purposes and all the purposes that will arise from the detailed description below, is a ceiling structure used in the cabin or generators, which can be used in all cabin types produced to protect equipment such as engine, alternator, compressor, dryer, fan, especially generators, which includes openings that allow water to be filled from outside the generator / cabin to the engine that generates mechanical power for generators and a radiator water filling cover that allows the aforementioned openings to be closed, characterized in that, it comprises the following; composite ceiling, which is produced in one piece to ensure sealing and accelerates the discharge of heated air and burnt gases inside the generate r / cabi net to the outside environment through the hollow structure thereon, a frame on which the connection elements that support the composite ceiling, are connected to the composite ceiling and provide the connection of the composite ceiling to the cabin / generator are located, connection element that allows the sponges used to connect the sponges used to the composite ceiling via resin or adhesive to ensure that the sound of the engine in the generator / cabin does not travel to the environment outside the generator / cabin, exhaust vent, which allows the heated air and burnt gases in the generator / cabin to be discharged to the outside environment through the hollow structure on the composite ceiling and prevents unwanted objects / living creatures from entering the generator / cabin.

[0024] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0025] In this detailed description, a ceiling structure used in cabins or generators of the present invention is described by means of examples only for clarifying the subject matter such that no limiting effect is created. A ceiling structure used in cabins or generators comprises a composite ceiling (1), frame(2), connection element (3), radiator water filling cap (4), and exhaust vent (5). Composite (preferably GRP-Glass-reinforced polymer-plastic) ceiling (shell structure) (1), produced in one piece to ensure tightness, preferably resistant to -500 / +150-2000, which is the basis for the generate r / cabin group ceiling and is removed from the mould. The frames (2) is a skeleton structure made of steel profile, aluminium or sheet metal, which supports the composite ceiling (1), is connected to the composite roof (1) and has connecting elements (lugs) to connect the composite ceiling (1) to the cab / generator. The frame (2) may have a variable structure depending on the design of the composite ceiling (1). The connection element (3) is the element that provides the connection of the sponges used to ensure that the sound of the engine (preferably diesel) in the generator / cabin is not transmitted to the environment outside the generator / cabin and has different applications. The connection element (3) is preferably a sponge nail. Radiator water filling cap (4) is the cover of the openings that allow water to be filled into the engine from outside the generator / cabin. The exhaust vent (5) is a steel sheet structure that allows the heated air and burnt gases inside the generator / cabin to be discharged to the outside environment by means of the pool design on the composite ceiling (1) and prevents unwanted creatures from entering the generator / cabin. The pool design is in the form of a hollow structure and the first task of this structure is to create a shaft / channel for the exit of heated air and waste gases, and the other task is to direct rainwater to the drain holes with this inward-oriented angular / curved structure.

[0026] A ceiling structure used in cabins or generators is preferably related to a composite ceiling made of GRP (Glass reinforced polymer-plastic), that is, glass fiber reinforced plastic. With this special plastic, the ceiling structure was reduced to a single piece, the desired design freedom was achieved and the leakage problem was eliminated. Freedom of design; the problems of shaping the steel sheet are not present in the plastic product. The desired shape can be given to the ceiling part with moulds (hand tilting or machine supported).

[0027] A ceiling construction used in cabins or generators, part of the composite ceiling (1) is glass fibre reinforced plastic (a mixture of glass fibres and resin). The most basic and special part of this structure is the composite ceiling (1). The composite ceiling (1) has a shell-like structure and covers the entire group alone. It stands out with its one-piece, leak-proof and can be shaped as desired. The carcass (2) is a load-bearing element that supports the composite ceiling (1) and serves to connect the composite ceiling (1 ) to other parts of the cabin and holds the cabin parts together from the top. The connecting element (3) is used for the internal mounting of the sponges used in the group to the ceiling and is connected to the composite ceiling (1 ) from the inside (with resin or special adhesive). The radiator water filling cap (4) and exhaust vent (5) are not special parts and are generally used in all generator type equipment. One of the important features here is the pool design in the composite ceiling (1), which helps to discharge the hot air and exhaust gas in the exhaust vent (5).

[0028] With a ceiling structure used in cabins or generators, the ceiling structures of steel sheet cabins, especially used in generators, have a brand-new appearance and features. In particular, composite ceiling (1) is preferably used in the size of 150x1500x4000mm and there is no such use at present.
