Description

[0001] Enclosure, treatment and / or processing station, and treatment and / or processing system

[0002] The present invention relates to an enclosure that can be used, in particular, for at least one industrial workstation. The enclosure can additionally or alternatively be used for a treatment station and / or a processing station for the treatment and / or processing of workpieces, in particular vehicle bodies.

[0003] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a treatment station and / or a processing station for the treatment and / or processing of workpieces, in particular vehicle bodies, comprising at least one enclosure as described above.

[0004] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a treatment plant and / or a processing plant comprising at least one such treatment station and / or processing station.

[0005] Such processing stations can advantageously be painting stations. Such processing stations can advantageously be corresponding manual or automatic control stations of, for example, painting stations.

[0006] Accordingly, such enclosures can be used at these manual workstations, painting stations and / or control stations of painting systems.

[0007] Enclosures of this type are already known from the prior art.

[0008] For example, a generic enclosure is known from DE 102019206 752 A1.

[0009] The present invention is therefore based on the objective of providing an enclosure that is easy to assemble and flexible in its use.

[0010] This problem is solved according to the invention by the features of independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims. Accordingly, an enclosure according to the invention comprises at least one interior space, in particular for at least one industrial workplace, and a supporting frame structure for delimiting the at least one interior space.

[0011] The support frame structure preferably comprises several support frame modules, each support frame module comprising at least two support struts and at least one cross strut, which advantageously connects the at least two support struts along a transverse axis of the enclosure.

[0012] Furthermore, it can be advantageous if the several support frame modules are arranged successively along a longitudinal axis of the enclosure and are each connected to each other by means of at least one longitudinal strut.

[0013] The supporting struts of the enclosure are preferably oriented substantially vertically when assembled. Similarly, the longitudinal struts along the longitudinal axis and / or the transverse struts along the transverse axis are preferably oriented horizontally when assembled.

[0014] In particular, the enclosure is essentially cuboid in shape, with the supporting struts and the longitudinal or transverse struts preferably forming an angle of at least approximately 90° to each other in the assembled state.

[0015] The support frame modules are preferably arranged consecutively along the longitudinal axis and / or spaced apart from each other in a predetermined grid.

[0016] The grid is preferably achieved by having a uniform length of the longitudinal struts.

[0017] Preferably, the length of the longitudinal struts and / or the spacing of the support frame modules is at least approximately 1.50 m, for example at least approximately 2 m.

[0018] The respective support struts extend vertically, preferably over the entire height of the enclosure.

[0019] The transverse struts preferably extend along the transverse axis across the entire width of at least one interior space of the enclosure. Preferably, the longitudinal struts extend only between each pair of

[0020] Support frame modules.

[0021] The enclosure preferably comprises several identically designed support frame modules.

[0022] In particular, the enclosure comprises several identically designed support struts and / or several identically designed cross struts and / or several identically designed longitudinal struts.

[0023] Each support frame module can advantageously comprise at least three support struts, wherein adjacent support struts of the at least three support struts are connected to each other along the transverse axis by means of at least one cross strut.

[0024] Since the cross braces preferably extend along the transverse axis over the entire width of the at least one interior space of the enclosure, at least one second interior space can advantageously be provided by means of the at least three support braces and the at least two cross braces per support frame module.

[0025] Consequently, the enclosure preferably includes at least one second interior space, in particular for at least one second industrial workplace.

[0026] Each support frame module can include two external support struts along the transverse axis and at least one intermediate support strut arranged between them to define a first interior space and at least one second interior space.

[0027] Therefore, at least one second interior space is advantageously arranged adjacent to the first interior space along the transverse axis.

[0028] The adjacent arrangement can be advantageous in that the at least one intermediate support strut per support frame module can serve as a support strut for both the first and the second interior space.

[0029] This eliminates the need for a support strut per frame module for two adjacent interior spaces to create a single industrial workstation, resulting in a smaller enclosure footprint. The outer support struts are advantageously structurally identical, with at least one intermediate support strut being structurally different from the two outer support struts.

[0030] The different design is particularly advantageous because the respective intermediate support strut faces both interior spaces and therefore has to fulfill different functions than the respective outer support struts.

[0031] One such function could be, for example, the provision of different media or a power supply, which can be advantageously integrated into the respective intermediate support strut for both adjacent interior spaces.

[0032] This integration can therefore be more space-saving than, for example, on the respective external support struts, each of which faces an interior space.

[0033] Furthermore, it may be provided that the respective support struts are designed as profile components.

[0034] Additionally or alternatively, it is conceivable that the respective crossbars are designed as profile components.

[0035] Additionally or alternatively, it is also conceivable that the respective longitudinal struts are designed as profile components.

[0036] The respective profile components described above can advantageously have an H-shaped cross-sectional profile.

[0037] Profile components with an H-section profile are, in particular, those profile components which have an H-shaped base body, such that at least two receiving channels are formed within the respective struts.

[0038] Additionally or alternatively, further projections can be formed at the four ends of the H-shaped base body, so that the respective H-section profile can have a total of four receiving channels. Preferably, the profile components are extruded parts, in particular aluminum extruded parts.

[0039] Furthermore, the at least one intermediate support strut per support frame module can have a first inner side facing the first interior space and a second inner side facing the at least one second interior space.

[0040] Preferably, the first and second inner surfaces can be shaped symmetrically to a, preferably first, intermediate plane of the at least one intermediate support strut.

[0041] It can also prove advantageous if the first and second inner surfaces each have a receiving channel, in particular separate from each other, in which one or more lighting elements for illuminating the first interior space and the at least one second interior space are received.

[0042] In particular, one or more lighting elements for illuminating the first interior space and the at least one second interior space are provided on an inner side of one or more external support struts and / or one or more cross struts and / or one or more longitudinal struts.

[0043] For example, it may be provided that a receiving space facing the first and / or second interior space of the enclosure is equipped with one or more lighting elements in the form of a cross member designed as an H-profile component and / or a longitudinal member designed as an H-profile component.

[0044] The lighting elements can advantageously be designed as light strips, for example as LED strips.

[0045] The one or more lighting elements are preferably arranged on the respective support struts and / or on the respective cross struts and / or longitudinal struts by means of screws, adhesives and / or snapping, in particular by means of a spring plate.

[0046] The one or more lighting elements are preferably covered by a cover, in particular a translucent cover. For example, if the one or more lighting elements are arranged in a respective receiving channel of an H-profile component, the cover can be detachably attached to a respective first or second inner surface, which delimits the respective receiving channel towards the respective facing interior space.

[0047] The cover can therefore cover the entire recording channel and protect it from influences from the respective interior.

[0048] The at least one intermediate support strut per support frame module can further have a first mounting side and a second mounting side, which are mirror-symmetrical to a second intermediate plane, which is preferably oriented perpendicular to the first intermediate plane.

[0049] The respective mirror-symmetrical alignment of the first and second inner sides to the first middle plane and of the first and second mounting sides to the second middle plane advantageously results in a double-mirror-symmetrical and right-angled arrangement of these sides to each other.

[0050] Furthermore, it may be provided that the first and second mounting sides each have a further, in particular separate, receiving channel in which one or more power supply lines and / or media lines for the electrical supply and / or the media supply of the first interior space and / or the at least one second interior space are received.

[0051] For example, one or more compressed air lines and / or electrical cables may be routed in such a further intake channel.

[0052] In particular, the separate additional receiving channels within a single intermediate support strut can be advantageous, since each of these additional receiving channels is assigned either to the first or to at least one second interior space.

[0053] This can advantageously improve the electrical and / or compressed air installation of the enclosure, as the separation and allocation of these components reduces potential sources of error during the corresponding installation and connection work. The first and second mounting sides advantageously each have a first, preferably flat, mounting surface and / or a second, preferably flat, mounting surface, each aligned parallel to the second central plane.

[0054] Such an orientation can be advantageous in that, due to the rectangular cuboid shape of the interior spaces and the enclosure, the respective inner and mounting sides of the intermediate support struts can be arranged parallel or perpendicular to the grid of the interior spaces.

[0055] This allows for a defined and sequential lateral alignment to the interior spaces, which can have a beneficial effect on the assembly or placement of additional components within the enclosure.

[0056] Such additional components can include signal lights, monitors, trolleys, handrails, wall elements, especially in the form of sheet metal wall elements, glass wall elements and / or textile wall elements, window frames and / or passage doors.

[0057] Furthermore, fixing interfaces may be arranged on the first and / or second mounting surfaces.

[0058] Such fastening interfaces can be provided, for example, in the form of threaded holes.

[0059] The interfaces for specifying parameters are arranged at regular intervals.

[0060] The regular spacing can, for example, refer to a respective longitudinal axis of the respective profile components.

[0061] Advantageously, a through-opening can be provided in both the first and second mounting sides, extending between the respective first and second mounting surfaces and leading into the respective further receiving channel.

[0062] The extension can be understood as follows: the respective through-opening on the first and second mounting sides is provided as a recess between the first and second mounting surfaces and extends into the respective further receiving channel.

[0063] The respective opening can thus advantageously provide easily accessible access for laying the media lines and / or the power supply lines, which can be beneficial both for initial installation and for subsequent maintenance work.

[0064] The respective through-opening advantageously has a fixing area for fixing a cover element to cover the respective through-opening and / or the respective further receiving channel.

[0065] This allows the media lines and / or the power supply lines in the respective through-openings and / or in the respective further receiving channels to be better protected from influences such as dust, solvent vapors or UV radiation.

[0066] Preferably, the cover element can be fixed to the respective fixing area, in particular by means of a snap connection.

[0067] This type of fixing allows for quick, tool-free assembly and disassembly of the cover element, so that the media lines and / or the power supply lines can be quickly accessed for maintenance or assembly purposes.

[0068] At least one support frame module and / or at least one longitudinal strut can have one or more auxiliary profile components fixed or defined for the purpose of defining additional installation elements in the enclosure and / or attachment elements on the outside of the enclosure.

[0069] In particular, one or more auxiliary profile components have a C-shaped cross-sectional profile.

[0070] If additional components are incorporated into the enclosure, several auxiliary profile components can be attached to the respective inner sides of each support frame module facing a corresponding interior space. These auxiliary profile components can advantageously form a complete silhouette for the ventilation separation of, for example, the first interior space. This silhouette can include, for example, access doors for workers, wall elements made of glass, sheet metal, and / or fabric.

[0071] In the case of additional attachment elements on the outside of the enclosure, several H i ​​Ifs profile components can be attached, for example, to an outer side of a respective support frame module facing away from the first interior space of the enclosure.

[0072] Such an add-on element can, for example, include a roller door that can serve as an access interface for the respective interior of the enclosure.

[0073] The one or more auxiliary profile components preferably each have two fixing sides and an additional receiving channel in which one or more power supply lines and / or media lines are received.

[0074] This design allows for a space-saving and simple way to supply the silhouette or the roller door, as previously mentioned examples, with electricity and other media such as compressed air.

[0075] Furthermore, for example, one of the fixing sides has an access opening that leads into the respective additional recording channel.

[0076] The enclosure advantageously comprises one or more ceiling elements, wherein a first fixing device and a second fixing device for fixing the one or more ceiling elements can preferably be fixed on one or more transverse struts and / or on one or more longitudinal struts.

[0077] Furthermore, it may be provided that one or more ceiling elements include a first fixing device complementary to the first fixing device and a second fixing device complementary to the second fixing device.

[0078] The installation of one or more ceiling elements can be particularly detachable. The one or more ceiling elements are preferably made of an air-permeable material and / or a woven material.

[0079] Wall elements and / or ceiling elements made of an air-permeable material can serve in particular as filters and / or air inlets and / or air outlets of the enclosure.

[0080] Additionally or alternatively, extra filter elements can be combined with the wall elements and / or ceiling elements.

[0081] The first fixing device and the second fixing device allow two different fixing devices to be combined, which improves the accessibility and ease of installation of one or more ceiling elements.

[0082] The complementary first fixing device can advantageously comprise one or more keders, and the first fixing device can comprise one or more keder rails for fixing the one or more keders.

[0083] Additionally or alternatively, the complementary second fixing device may include one or more further hook and loop fastener elements, and the second fixing device may include one or more hook and loop fastener elements for releasable engagement with the one or more further hook and loop fastener elements.

[0084] One or more additional hook-and-loop fastener elements can be arranged, in particular, on an end or front-facing ceiling element and adjacent to an end section of the respective keder rail along the longitudinal axis. Such a section can, for example, have a length of approximately 500 mm.

[0085] Using such an arrangement, the respective Velcro fasteners of the end-face ceiling elements can first be released, especially from one of the interior rooms, so that the keder rail is now accessible.

[0086] Following this, the ceiling elements equipped with keder can first be pulled into the space freed up by the previously arranged front ceiling element, before they can then be pulled into the interior and thus completely dismantled.

[0087] By using such a combination of two different fixing devices, the ceiling elements can be easily and quickly assembled and disassembled, which would not be possible without the end-face ceiling element.

[0088] It may also be advantageous if an outer side of one or more support struts and / or one or more cross struts and / or one or more longitudinal struts, facing away from an interior of the enclosure, has a fastening section for fixing a fastening element, wherein the fastening element can be fixed to the fastening section in particular by means of a snap connection, and in particular can be detachably fixed.

[0089] It can be advantageous if the fastening element is designed as a profile component. The fastening element can, in particular, have a mushroom-shaped cross-section.

[0090] It can be advantageous if the fastening element has an insertion section for insertion into the fastening section of the respective support strut and / or the respective cross strut and / or the respective longitudinal strut.

[0091] Alternatively or additionally, the fastening element may be provided with a cover section to cover an outside of the respective outer support strut and / or the respective cross strut and / or the respective longitudinal strut facing away from the interior.

[0092] Alternatively or additionally, the fastening element may have a mounting section for attaching to the fastening area of ​​the respective outer support strut and / or the respective cross strut and / or the respective longitudinal strut.

[0093] It may further be provided that one or more external support struts and / or one or more cross struts and / or one or more longitudinal struts each have a clamping device by means of which one or more wall elements and / or ceiling elements of the enclosure can be clamped in place. In an alternative or supplementary fastening variant, it may be provided that one or more external support struts and / or one or more cross struts and / or one or more longitudinal struts have a clamping profile or receiving profile into which one or more wall elements and / or ceiling elements provided with a keder can be inserted, in particular threaded.

[0094] One or more wall elements and / or one or more ceiling elements can then be fixed to the supporting frame structure of the enclosure, in particular by means of a keder connection.

[0095] Furthermore, alternatively or additionally, one or more wall elements and / or one or more ceiling elements can be attached to the supporting frame structure of the enclosure by means of push buttons.

[0096] In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that one or more intermediate support struts and / or external support struts and / or one or more transverse struts and / or one or more longitudinal struts each have a hook and loop fastener element which can be engaged with another hook and loop fastener element of one or more wall elements and / or one or more ceiling elements of the enclosure, in particular for fixing one or more wall elements and / or one or more ceiling elements to the supporting frame structure of the enclosure.

[0097] An additional hook and loop fastener element designed as a loop strip can then be arranged, for example, on a wall element or ceiling element, for example, sewn into such an element, especially if the wall element or ceiling element is made of a textile material.

[0098] A hook-and-loop fastener element designed as a hook strip can, for example, be arranged on an outer support strut and / or an intermediate support strut and / or a cross strut and / or a longitudinal strut, for example by means of an adhesive connection.

[0099] In particular, a hook-and-loop fastener can be provided with a self-adhesive backing and adhered to an outer support strut, an intermediate support strut, a cross strut, and / or a longitudinal strut. The use of hook-and-loop fasteners to attach wall and / or ceiling elements to the supporting frame of the enclosure allows for particularly easy assembly of the enclosure.

[0100] For additional securing of the hook and loop fastener connection, a clamping connection can preferably be provided as an extra measure.

[0101] The enclosure preferably further comprises one or more wall elements and / or one or more ceiling elements, which are made of or comprise, in particular, an air-permeable material and / or a fabric or woven material.

[0102] In particular, a textile material can be intended for one or more wall elements and / or ceiling elements.

[0103] Wall elements and / or ceiling elements made of an air-permeable material can serve in particular as filters and / or air inlets and / or air outlets of the enclosure.

[0104] Such textile materials allow for a large inlet and / or outlet area relative to the dimensions of the enclosure, ensuring in particular a homogeneous flow of preferably conditioned air into the respective interior space.

[0105] It may be advantageous to provide that one or more ceiling elements have the same length as a longitudinal strut or an N multiple of the length of the longitudinal strut for partial or full coverage of a ceiling area of ​​the enclosure.

[0106] Additionally or alternatively, it may be provided that one or more ceiling elements have the same length as a crossbar or an N multiple of the length of the crossbar for partial or full coverage of the ceiling area of ​​the enclosure.

[0107] An N-multiple can be understood, in particular, as a multiple of the respective length selected from the natural numbers N, where N can be greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50. This allows for a free and defined placement of the inlet and / or outlet surface(s) based on a grid, e.g., a 2 m grid, along the longitudinal and / or transverse axis of the enclosure.

[0108] This allows for the simple structural implementation of full or partial coverage of the ceiling area. This can be particularly advantageous for achieving a constant or homogeneous downward flow (especially in the direction of gravity), particularly in spot repair areas, for the removal of paint overspray.

[0109] Furthermore, the fluid flow velocity, preferably of air, can be reduced to 0.1 m / s, which has a positive effect on the volume of air processed and the energy consumption.

[0110] Furthermore, it may be provided that a suspended conveyor system for conveying workpieces can be attached to or is attached to the supporting frame structure, particularly in the area of ​​the longitudinal struts and / or the transverse struts.

[0111] To establish the suspended conveyor system, one or more transverse struts and / or longitudinal struts are interrupted.

[0112] The addition of an overhead conveyor system to the enclosure demonstrates its advantageous, flexible, and expandable design. In particular, the integration of an overhead conveyor system for transporting workpieces such as vehicle bodies expands the enclosure's applications beyond its use as an industrial workstation, making it suitable, for example, for a paint shop.

[0113] This allows the number of applications to be increased and the scalability of the enclosure to be expanded, which has a positive effect on the associated costs for planning, construction, assembly, etc.

[0114] The enclosure advantageously further comprises, in the first interior space, a first control cabinet in which electrical and / or electronic components for the enclosure are integrated. Furthermore, the enclosure preferably comprises, in at least one second interior space, a second control cabinet in which further electrical and / or electronic components for the enclosure are integrated.

[0115] The first and second control cabinets are advantageously arranged in the same positions in the first interior space and in the at least one second interior space.

[0116] The consistent positioning of the electrical and electronic components offers advantages, particularly in the planning and assembly of the components. This also results in reduced installation effort when erecting the enclosure.

[0117] The electrical components can include, for example, lighting elements, light switches, sockets, whereas the electronic components can include, for example, semiconductor-based control and / or regulation units.

[0118] However, the control cabinet can also be understood as containing pre-assembled electrical components such as cable harnesses, which are only temporarily stored in the control cabinet for the assembly of the enclosure and can then be at least partially removed from it for final assembly.

[0119] This allows for efficient pre-planning and pre-assembly of the components that comprise the respective control cabinet.

[0120] The enclosure advantageously further comprises at least one adapter element which has a strut-side fixing surface for fixing to at least one external support strut.

[0121] The strut-side fixing surface can be geometrically adapted to a surface contour of a fixing side of at least one outer support strut.

[0122] In particular, the at least one adapter element comprises a further, preferably flat, mounting surface for attaching various components of the enclosure. The adapter element can thus serve as a standardized interface between the outer support strut and other components to be attached to it, such as signal lights, tool trolleys, and, if applicable, lights.

[0123] The geometric adaptation to the surface contour can be understood in particular as meaning that the outer support struts do not include flat mounting surfaces, such as the intermediate support struts. Since fastening to the outer support struts is nevertheless advantageous, the adapter element can be used for this purpose.

[0124] The adapter element can preferably be fixed at different heights in the vertical direction on the outer support strut, which further increases the variability of the different fastening options for the components to be attached to it.

[0125] The adapter element also features pre-drilled and precisely aligned fixing holes, in particular threaded holes, so that the risk of incorrect assembly can be further reduced.

[0126] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a treatment station and / or processing station for the treatment and / or processing of workpieces, in particular vehicle bodies.

[0127] A treatment station may include, in particular, a painting station, whereas a processing station may include, for example, a so-called spot repair station, in which paint defects on a vehicle body can be manually repaired by a worker.

[0128] The treatment station and / or processing station preferably comprises at least one enclosure as explained above and furthermore a floor structure on which the at least one enclosure is placed and / or in which the at least one enclosure is partially integrated.

[0129] The floor structure can further feature a continuous recess along the longitudinal axis of the enclosure, through which an autonomously moving conveying unit, in particular an automated guided vehicle (AGV), can be moved to convey the workpieces through the treatment station and / or processing station. All structural and functional features associated with the enclosure and its embodiments described above can also be incorporated into the treatment station and / or processing station, either individually or in combination, and the associated properties, designs, and advantages can be similarly included and achieved.

[0130] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a treatment and / or processing plant for the treatment and / or processing of workpieces, in particular vehicle bodies, comprising one or more treatment stations and / or processing stations as explained above and one or more autonomously movable conveying units for conveying the workpieces through the one or more treatment stations and / or processing stations.

[0131] All structural and functional features associated with the previously described treatment station and / or processing station and its embodiments can also be included in the treatment plant and / or processing plant, either alone or in combination, and the associated properties, designs and advantages can also be included and achieved accordingly.

[0148] Identical or functionally equivalent elements or facilities are provided with the same reference symbols in all figures.

[0149] Fig. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of an enclosure 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention in an open configuration. The embodiment of the enclosure 100 shown in Fig. 1 is a completely open enclosure 100 in which at least no wall elements and / or ceiling elements are provided.

[0150] An embodiment of an enclosure designated as a whole by 100, as shown in Figs. 1 or 3 and 7, comprises, for example, three interior spaces 102 and serves, for example, to enclose a respective industrial workplace 104, in which, in particular, workpieces, for example, vehicle bodies, are inspected and / or reworked.

[0151] Additionally or alternatively, the enclosure 100 can be used to enclose a treatment station 106 and / or a processing station 108 for the treatment and / or processing of workpieces 110, e.g. vehicle bodies 112.

[0152] The treatment station 106 can, for example, include a painting station in which, in particular, the workpieces 110, for example vehicle bodies, are preferably painted automatically.

[0153] The processing station 108 can, for example, include the three industrial workstations 104, in which the workpieces 110, for example vehicle bodies, are checked and / or reworked.

[0154] The enclosure 100 also includes a supporting frame structure 114 for the respective delimitation of a first, second and third interior space 102.

[0155] In Fig. 1, the enclosure 100 is shown, for example, for the enclosure of three industrial workplaces 104, whereby the enclosure 100 can also be provided for the enclosure of two or more than three industrial workplaces 104.

[0156] The support frame structure 114 comprises several, e.g. five, support frame modules 116 according to Fig. 1.

[0157] Each support frame module 116 comprises several, e.g. four, support struts 118 as shown in Fig. 1, and several, e.g. three, cross struts 120 as shown in Fig. 1, which connect the support struts 118 to each other along a transverse axis 122 of the enclosure 100. Preferably, adjacent support struts 118, 132, 134 are each connected to each other along the transverse axis 122 by means of a cross strut 120.

[0158] For clarity, only the front support frame module 116 is fully provided with reference numerals in Fig. 1.

[0159] The several support frame modules 116 are arranged successively along a longitudinal axis 124 of the enclosure 100 and are each connected to each other by means of several longitudinal struts 126, e.g. four as shown in Fig. 1.

[0160] Each support frame module 116 comprises two outer support struts 132 along the transverse axis 122 and several, as shown in Fig. 1, intermediate support struts 134 arranged between them to limit the first, second and third interior space 102.

[0161] As can be seen further in Fig. 1, the three interior spaces 102 are arranged adjacent to each other along the transverse axis 122.

[0162] Furthermore, the outer support struts 132 are each structurally identical, whereas the intermediate support struts 134 are structurally different from the two outer support struts 132.

[0163] The multiple support struts 118, 132, 134, the multiple cross struts 120 and the multiple longitudinal struts 126 are each designed as profile components, which are described in more detail in Figs. 4 to 6, 8 and 9.

[0164] The supporting frame structure 114 as a whole is designed as a cuboid, truss-like supporting frame structure, the respective support struts 118, 132, 134 of which are essentially vertically aligned in the assembled state.

[0165] Furthermore, the support struts 118, 132, 134 each have a bottom-side end 128 and a fastening end 130.

[0166] Accordingly, the cross braces 120 and the longitudinal braces 126 are each horizontally aligned in the assembled state. Furthermore, the cross braces 120 and the longitudinal braces 126 are each aligned at right angles to each other and are each attached at their fastening ends 130 to the support braces 118, 132.

[0167] 134 attached.

[0168] The outer support struts 132 limit the supporting frame structure 114 along the transverse axis 122 on the outside, whereas the longitudinal struts 126 and the transverse struts 120 limit the supporting frame structure 114 along a vertical axis V.

[0169] Consequently, the outer support struts 132 each form a lateral boundary, whereas the longitudinal struts 126 and transverse struts 120 each define a ceiling area 260 of the supporting frame structure 114 and thus form a ceiling boundary.

[0170] The fastening can be done in particular by means of screw connections.

[0171] Fig. 2 shows another schematic and perspective view of the enclosure 100 according to Fig. 1, but in a closed version.

[0172] This shows that wall elements are attached to the respective support struts 118, 132, 134.

[0173] 135 are set.

[0174] Corresponding ceiling elements 182 are fixed to the cross braces 120 and the longitudinal braces 126.

[0175] The wall elements 135 and ceiling elements 182 can be made of sheet metal, glass and / or fabric or textile material.

[0176] Each of the three interior spaces 102 (see Fig. 1) is accessible from the front by means of an access opening 224, which can be closed and opened by means of a roller door 226.

[0177] Several air distributors 262, six in total as shown in Fig. 2, are attached to the outside of the ceiling area 260 to supply the three interior rooms 102 with preferably conditioned air.

[0178] Fig. 3 shows a schematic front view of the enclosure according to Fig. 1. In addition to the outer support struts 132 and the intermediate support struts 134, further auxiliary profile components 172 are shown on the front support frame module 116, which form profile components for the respective roller doors 226 (see Fig. 2).

[0179] Fig. 3 shows different sections 4-4, 5-5 and 6-6 of one of the outer support struts 132, one of the intermediate support struts 134 and one of the auxiliary profile components 172.

[0180] Fig. 4 shows the schematic sectional view 5-5 (cf. Fig. 3) of an intermediate support strut 134 according to the left figure and the schematic sectional view 4-4 (cf. Fig. 3) of an outer support strut 132 according to the right figure.

[0181] The left-hand illustration in Fig. 4 shows that the respective intermediate support struts 134, designed as profile components, have an H-shaped cross-sectional profile.

[0182] Each intermediate support strut 134 has a first inner side 136 facing the first interior space 102 and a second inner side 138 facing the second interior space 102 for each support frame module 116.

[0183] The first and second inner surfaces 136, 138 are shaped symmetrically to a first intermediate plane 140 of the intermediate support strut 134.

[0184] The first and second inner surfaces 136, 138 each have separate receiving channels 142 in which one or more light elements 144 are received for illuminating the first interior space 102 and the second interior space 102.

[0185] The lighting elements 144 are preferably designed as light rails, for example LED rails, and are in particular integrated into the respective receiving channel 142.

[0186] To form the respective receiving channel 142, the H-cross-sectional profile has an H-shaped base body 228, which has a central part 229 and two body legs 230 oriented perpendicular to it, at the four leg ends 231 of which a first body projection 232 is formed.

[0187] The respective first body projection 232 faces the respective interior space 102 and, starting from the base body 228 at its respective leg end 231, projects essentially perpendicularly to the first intermediate plane 140 into the respective interior space 102.

[0188] Accordingly, the respective receiving channel 142 is bounded by the H-shaped base body 228 and the respective first two body projections 232.

[0189] The respective receiving channel 142 is covered at its end on the two first body projections 232 by a translucent cover 234, through which the light rays of the respective lighting elements 144 pass and illuminate the two interior spaces 102 facing along the transverse axis 122.

[0190] Each of these covers 234 is secured to the respective two first body projections 232 by means of a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0191] The respective cover 234 is not shown in its entirety, however, since the section plane 5-5 lies within the two crossbars 120. Preferably, the cover 234 completely covers the respective receiving channel 142, except for the sections of the crossbars 120.

[0192] The respective ends 236 of the two crossbars 120 are also guided by means of respective inner guide surfaces 238 by means of the respective first body projections 232 and are fixed to the H-shaped base body 228 by means of a screw connection (not shown in Fig. 4).

[0193] According to Fig. 4, left illustration, each intermediate support strut 134 further has a first mounting side 146 and a second mounting side 148 for each support frame module 116.

[0194] The first mounting side 146 and the second mounting side 148 are shaped in a mirror-symmetrical manner to a second intermediate plane 150, which is aligned perpendicular to the first intermediate plane 140.

[0195] Accordingly, the intermediate support strut 134 has both mirror-symmetrically aligned first and second inner sides 136, 138, as well as mirror-symmetrically aligned first and second mounting sides 146, 148.

[0196] The first and second mounting sides 146, 148 have further, separate, receiving channels 152 in which one or more power supply lines 154 and / or media lines 156 (each shown only schematically) are received for the electrical supply or control and / or for the media supply of the first interior space 102 and the second interior space 102.

[0197] On the first and second mounting sides 146, 148, two wall elements 135 are detachably fixed, which project into the respective further receiving channel 152 in the mounted state.

[0198] Further structural and functional details of the intermediate support strut 134 are described in Fig. 5.

[0199] Fig. 5 shows a schematic detailed sectional view of the intermediate support strut 134 according to Fig. 4, left illustration.

[0200] The first and second mounting sides 146, 148 each have a first flat mounting surface 158 and a second flat mounting surface 160, which are each aligned parallel to the second middle plane 150.

[0201] On the first and second mounting surfaces 158, 160, fixing interfaces 162 are arranged in particular at regular intervals to a longitudinal axis of the profile.

[0202] The fixing interfaces 162 can in particular be designed as threaded holes, the arrangement of the fixing interfaces 162 in Fig. 5 being to be understood as purely exemplary.

[0203] In the first and second mounting sides 146, 148, a through opening 164 is provided, which extends between the respective first and second mounting surfaces 158, 160 and opens into the respective further receiving channel 152.

[0204] Each through-opening 164 has a fixing area 166, on which a cover element 168 (shown in Fig. 4) is fixed in the assembled state, to cover the respective through-opening 164 and the respective further receiving channel 152.

[0205] Preferably, the cover element 168 is fixed to the respective fixing area 166 in the assembled state by means of a snap-fit ​​connection 170. To form the respective further receiving channel 152, the H-shaped base body 228 has four second body projections 240, which are integrally formed on its four leg ends 231.

[0206] According to Fig. 5, the respective second pairs of body projections 240 protrude from the respective opposite ends 231 of the H-shaped base body 228 essentially along the second median plane 150 and are oriented towards each other on the profile side.

[0207] Accordingly, each further receiving channel 152 is limited by the H-shaped base body 228 and the respective two second body projections 240.

[0208] The respective further receiving channel 152 is limited at its end, i.e. at the level of the mounting surfaces 158, 160, at the two second body projections 240 by means of the cover element 168.

[0209] Furthermore, the strut-side part of the locking connection 170 is also formed by means of the two second projections 240.

[0210] Furthermore, the first and second body projections 232, 240 form the first and second mounting surfaces 158, 160 by means of their ends which limit along the first intermediate plane 140.

[0211] As can be seen in particular in Fig. 4, right-hand illustration, and Figs. 8 and 9, the outer support struts 132, the transverse struts 120 and optionally (not shown in section) the longitudinal struts 126 are designed as profile components.

[0212] In particular, such a profile component can have an H-shaped base body 228.

[0213] In such a base body 228, the central part 229 is preferably provided, from which two legs 230 project away, so that on both sides of the central part 229 a receiving space 256 is formed, surrounded by two legs 230.

[0214] At least the receiving space 256, which faces the respective interior 102, corresponds structurally and / or functionally, for example, essentially to the respective receiving channel 142 of the intermediate support strut 132 (see Fig. 4, left figure). In the receiving space 256, which is at least partially covered by a cover 234, one or more lighting elements 144, for example LED strips, are arranged, which illuminate the cover 234 from within the receiving space 256 and thus backlight it.

[0215] The cover 234 serves in particular to even out the light radiation emitted by the one or more lighting elements 144.

[0216] At least one or more lighting elements 144 and the cover 234 correspond structurally and / or functionally, for example, essentially to one or more lighting elements 144 and the cover 234 of the intermediate support strut 134 (see Fig. 4, left figure).

[0217] On the outer side 242 of the respective profile component facing away from the interior 102, a further receiving space 256 is preferably arranged, which can serve, for example, as a cable duct and / or conduit and thus serves to receive cables, conduits, etc.

[0218] As can be further seen in Fig. 4 on the right-hand side, the respective outer support struts 132, designed as profile components, have an H-shaped cross-sectional profile.

[0219] As can be seen in particular from this right-hand illustration in Fig. 4, an outer surface 242 of a respective outer support strut 132 facing away from the interior 102 comprises a fastening section 244, which is in particular provided with a locking surface 246.

[0220] The fastening section 244 serves in particular to accommodate a fastening element 248, which is designed, for example, as an approximately mushroom-shaped profile component.

[0221] In particular, an insertion section 250 of the fastening element 248 is provided, which can be inserted into the fastening section 244 of the outer support strut 132. The insertion section 250, like the fastening section 244 of the outer support strut 132, is preferably provided with a locking surface 246, so that the fastening element 248 can be secured to the outer support strut 132, in particular by means of a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0222] The insertion section 250 of the fastening element 248 is adjoined in particular by a cover area 252 of the fastening element 248.

[0223] By means of this covering area 252, which is in particular essentially dome-shaped or rounded, the outer surface 242 of the outer support strut 132 can preferably be at least approximately completely covered.

[0224] As can also be seen in Fig. 4, right-hand illustration, the fastening element 248 together with the outer support strut 132 forms a clamping device 254 for clamping the receipt of one or more wall elements 135.

[0225] The wall elements 135 can, for example, be attached to the outside 242 of the outer support strut 132 by means of one or more Velcro fasteners (not shown in Fig. 4) and then additionally pressed against the outer support strut 132 by means of the fastening element 248.

[0226] The one or more wall elements 135 can therefore be clamped in particular between the fastening element 248 and the outer support strut 132 in order to press the Velcro fasteners firmly together and thus enable a stable hold.

[0227] For example, a hook and loop fastener element can be attached to the outside 242 of the outer support strut 132 by means of an adhesive connection.

[0228] An additional Velcro fastener element that interacts with this is, for example, attached to the wall element 135, for example, sewn in, especially if the wall element 135 is made of a textile material.

[0229] For fastening the wall elements 135, a combination of a clamping device 250 and a hook-and-loop fastener device is provided in the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, right-hand illustration. Fig. 6 shows a schematic sectional view 6-6 of an auxiliary profile component 172 of the enclosure 100, the auxiliary profile component 172 being shown by way of example in Fig. 3.

[0230] According to Fig. 3, several auxiliary profile components 172 are attached to a support frame module 116, preferably to a respective cross strut 120, for the purpose of attaching further attachment elements 174 to the outside of the housing 100.

[0231] The attachment element 174 shown schematically and only partially in Fig. 6 is the roller door 226 shown three times in Fig. 2.

[0232] The respective auxiliary profile component 172 has a C-shaped cross-sectional profile and two fixing sides 176 and an additional receiving channel 178 in which one or more power supply lines and / or media lines (not shown in Fig. 6) are received.

[0233] In each of the fixing sides 176 an access opening 180 is provided, which leads into the respective additional receiving channel 178.

[0234] The access opening can also be covered by means of a further cover 258, which can be fixed in the access opening 180 e.g. by means of a snap connection.

[0235] Fig. 7 shows a schematic top view of the enclosure 100 according to Fig. 1 or Fig. 3.

[0236] In Fig. 7, a further section 8-8 of one of the crossbars 120 is also shown.

[0237] Furthermore, the enclosure 100 in the first interior space 102 includes a first control cabinet 202, in which electrical and / or electronic components for the enclosure 100 are integrated.

[0238] Furthermore, the enclosure 100 includes a second control cabinet 204 in the second interior space 102, in which further electrical and / or electronic components for the enclosure 100 are integrated.

[0239] The first and second control cabinets 202, 204 are preferably arranged in the same positions in the first interior space 102 and in the second interior space 102. Since, according to Figures 1 to 3 and 7, the enclosure 100 comprises three interior spaces, a third control cabinet 205 can advantageously be provided in the third interior space 102, also in the same position.

[0240] Accordingly, the first, second and third control cabinets 202, 204, 205 are preferably arranged in the same positions in the respective interior space 102.

[0241] The electrical components can include, for example, lighting elements, light switches, sockets, whereas the electronic components can include, for example, semiconductor-based control and / or regulation units.

[0242] However, the respective control cabinet 202, 204, 205 can also be understood as containing, for example, pre-assembled electrical components such as cable harnesses per interior 102 or for the entire enclosure 100, which are only temporarily stored in the respective control cabinet 202, 204, 205 before the assembly of the enclosure 100 and can then be at least partially removed from it for assembly.

[0243] Fig. 9 shows another schematic sectional view of the outer support strut 132 according to Fig. 4, right-hand illustration, to which an adapter element 206 is attached.

[0244] The adapter element 206 has a strut-side fixing surface 208 for fixing to the outer support strut 132.

[0245] As can also be seen in Fig. 9, the strut-side fixing surface 208 is geometrically adapted to a surface contour 210 of a fixing side 176 of the outer support strut 132.

[0246] The adapter element 206 comprises a further, flat fixing surface 212 for fixing various components of the enclosure 100 to be fixed thereon. The adapter element 206 according to Fig. 9 can be shaped as a plate-like adapter element.

[0247] The adapter element 206 can therefore be provided as a standardized interface between the outer support strut 132 and other components to be attached to it, such as signal lights, tool trolleys, and possibly lights. Fig. 10 shows a schematic perspective detail view of two media islands 266, attached to the intermediate support strut 134 and facing a respective interior space 102.

[0248] Additionally or alternatively, the media island 266 can be fixed to one or more external support struts 132.

[0249] The media island 266 can each include a media interface 268 and / or a communication interface 268 and / or an electrical supply interface 268.

[0250] The latter can be designed, for example, in the form of at least one electrical socket to provide a 230V single-phase AC connection and / or a 400V three-phase AC connection.

[0251] Additionally or alternatively, the media interface 268 can include a compressed air connection for supplying compressed air and / or another media connection for supplying other media.

[0252] The media interface 268 can preferably be arranged on a side of the media island 266 which, in the assembled state, is at least partially aligned with the first or second mounting side 146, 148 of the intermediate support strut 134 or with the fixing side 176 of the outer support strut 132.

[0253] The communication interface 268 may preferably include one or more communication ports, e.g. in the form of an Ethernet port or a Profinet port.

[0254] Furthermore, additional extensions may be attached to the media island 266 to accommodate further work materials, such as sealant and / or paint for the reworking of vehicle bodies.

[0255] Furthermore, the media island 266 can be expanded with additional integrated control elements 270 for operating or controlling the enclosure 100. For example, the lighting elements 144 within the support frame modules 116 and / or the longitudinal struts 126 can be controlled in this way, as can the air supply via the air distributors 262. The control elements can be designed as rotary switches, push buttons, or combined rotary / push buttons. Additionally or alternatively, a touch-sensitive screen can be integrated into the media island 266, which can be used for operation as an alternative or supplementary method.

[0256] Fig. 11 shows a schematic perspective partial view of a ceiling area 260 of the enclosure 100 according to Fig. 2.

[0257] Several air distributors 262 are arranged on the ceiling area 260 for each interior space 102, two in total as shown in Fig. 10. These serve in particular to supply preferably conditioned air to the respective interior space 102, whereby only one interior space 102 is shown in Fig. 1.

[0258] The ceiling elements 182 (see Fig. 2), which are arranged along the transverse axis 122 between the air distributors 262, are not shown in Fig. 11 for the sake of clarity.

[0259] Along the longitudinal axis 124, the two air distributors 262 shown in Fig. 11 each have an interruption 264 (not shown in the illustration in Fig. 2).

[0260] The position of each interruption 264 is merely an example. Accordingly, each interruption 264 can also be provided at the respective ends of the respective air distributors 262, in which case the provision of the respective short section (as shown in Fig. 11) of the respective air distributors 262 can be omitted.

[0261] Only the ceiling elements 182, which are located in the interruption 264, are shown in Fig. 10 (the ceiling elements 182, which are arranged below the air distributors 262 in the direction of gravity, are already concealed by them).

[0262] To allow air to pass through the ceiling elements 182, these are at least partially air-permeable, for example, made of a fabric or woven material. According to Fig. 11, a first fixing device 184 and a second fixing device 186 for fixing one or more ceiling elements 182 are attached to several crossbars 120.

[0263] The one or more ceiling elements 182 comprise a first fixing device 188 complementary to the first fixing device 184 and a second fixing device 190 complementary to the second fixing device 186.

[0264] The complementary first fixing device 188 comprises in particular one or more keders 192 and the first fixing device 184 therefore comprises in particular one or more keder rails 194 for fixing the one or more keders 192.

[0265] The complementary second fixing device 190, however, includes, for example, one or more hook and loop fastener elements 196, and the second fixing device 186 includes one or more further hook and loop fastener elements 198 for releasable engagement with the one or more hook and loop fastener elements 196.

[0266] As shown in Fig. 11, the respective hook and loop fastener elements 196, 198 are each arranged in the interruptions 264, which has the advantage that no air distributor 262 is arranged above them, so that the respective ceiling element 182 can be manually released from the interior 102.

[0267] If this ceiling element 182, which is secured by means of Velcro fasteners 196, 198, is detached, the respective ceiling element 182 can be pulled along the longitudinal axis out of the respective keder rail 194 into the interruption 264.

[0268] Following this, the respective ceiling element 182 can be completely pulled out of the respective keder rail 194 through the previously freed opening 264 towards the interior 102, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the ceiling elements 182 below the air distributors 262.

[0269] The ceiling elements 182, which are not covered by an air distributor 262, can be fixed to the ceiling area 260, for example, by means of the hook and loop fasteners 196, 198, so that a keder fixing can be dispensed with here. Fig. 12 shows a highly schematic front view of the enclosure 100 according to Figs. 1 to 3 with different air supply concepts.

[0270] The upper and lower illustrations in Fig. 12 differ in that two air distributors 262 are arranged on the ceiling area 260 of the upper illustration in Fig. 12.

[0271] This simplified design is particularly advantageous for non-explosion-hazardous applications of the enclosure 100, such as control stations of painting stations.

[0272] The airflow represented by the arrows can advantageously have the following parameters:

[0273] - Sinking speed: min. 0.1 m / s

[0274] - Volume flow: max. 24,000 m³ / h 3 / h

[0275] - Flow velocity around the workpiece: min. 0.1 m / s.

[0276] Advantageously, one or more ceiling elements 182 (see Fig. 11) may have the same length as a longitudinal strut 126. Alternatively, one or more ceiling elements 182 may have an N multiple of the length of the longitudinal strut 126.

[0277] According to Fig. 12, top illustration, the one or more ceiling elements 182 provide a partial, e.g. approximately half-surface, covering of the ceiling area 260 above the vehicle body 112.

[0278] Due to the design of one or more ceiling elements 182 as textile ceiling elements 182, a large inflow area (relative to the area of ​​the ceiling area 260) can be provided for supplying air into the interior space 102 in order to advantageously ensure the aforementioned settling velocity of 0.1 m / s.

[0279] Additionally or alternatively, it can be provided that one or more ceiling elements 182 have the same length as a cross member 120 or an N multiple of the length of the cross member 120 for partial or full coverage of the ceiling area 260 of the enclosure 100 (not shown in Fig. 12). In contrast, in the lower figure in Fig. 12, four air distributors 262 are arranged on the ceiling area 260.

[0280] According to Fig. 12, lower illustration, the one or more ceiling elements 182 provide a full surface coverage of the ceiling area 260 of the enclosure 100.

[0281] In this regard, it may be advantageous to provide that one or more ceiling elements 182 (see Fig. 11) have the same length as a longitudinal strut 126.

[0282] Alternatively, one or more ceiling elements 182 can have an N-multiple of the length of the longitudinal strut 126.

[0283] This design is advantageous, due to the increased air volume flows, especially for explosion-prone applications of the enclosure 100.

[0284] However, the enclosure 100 advantageously features additional safety devices, such as no explosion-hazardous components and / or the integration of the lighting elements into the profile components as described above.

[0285] Fig. 13 shows a schematic perspective view of the ceiling area 260 of the enclosure 100 according to Fig. 1 or Fig. 3 comprising a suspended conveyor device 200.

[0286] A suspended conveyor system 200 for conveying workpieces 110 is attached to the supporting frame structure 114, particularly in the area of ​​the longitudinal struts 126 and / or the transverse struts 120.

[0287] The suspended conveyor system 200 comprises a rail system 272 for guiding several conveyor units (not shown in Fig. 13), which is fixed at least on the ceiling area 260 of the enclosure 100 by means of several support elements 274.

[0288] To define the suspended conveyor device 200, one or more cross braces 120 and / or longitudinal braces 126 of the support frame structure 114 may be interrupted.

[0289] Fig. 14 shows a schematic perspective partial view of a manual machining station 108 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, comprising the housing 100 according to Figs. 1 to 3. The machining station 108 is used for the manual machining of workpieces 110, in particular vehicle bodies 112 (see Fig. 12), and comprises a housing 100 according to Figs. 1 to 3.

[0290] Manual processing can include, for example, manual assembly, joining, welding or cutting work on the workpieces 110.

[0291] Furthermore, the processing station 108 includes a floor structure 214 on which the enclosure 100 is placed and / or in which the enclosure 100 is partially integrated.

[0292] For the sake of clarity, the enclosure 100 is not shown in its entirety, but only comprises an interior space 102 and is cut in a horizontal section plane above the floor structure 214.

[0293] The floor structure 214 includes a continuous recess 216 along the longitudinal axis 124 of the enclosure 100, through which an autonomously movable conveying unit 218, in particular a driverless transport vehicle (FTF), can be moved to convey workpieces 110 through the processing station 108.

[0294] The floor structure 214 includes a platform 276 on which one or more workers can move and perform manual work on a workpiece 110.

[0295] The floor structure 214 includes an entrance 278 and an exit 280 for the driverless transport vehicle (FTF).

[0296] The transport vehicle FTF is provided as a rollable planar element with a flat top surface, on which in the present case two mounting elements 282 (only one mounting element visible in Fig. 14) are provided, which protrude from the surface as vertical pins.

[0297] The assembly elements 282 are guided through the schematically depicted recess 216, which serves as a guide track below the platform 276, within a slot 284 as the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) passes from the entrance 278 to the exit 280. A seal 286 is attached to each side wall of the slot 284, covering it to prevent parts from falling into the guide track and to allow the operator (not shown) to walk on the floor structure 214 and perform assembly or machining operations on the workpiece 110 (see Fig. 12), which could be, for example, a vehicle or a vehicle body.
