US 2026/0274491 A1 · METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HANDLING COMPRESSIBLE ACOUSTIC PANELS

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for handling compressible acoustic panels (2). The method comprises: providing a plurality of compressible acoustic panels (2); providing at least two box-shaped distribution units (10) which are bringable to an assembled state in which one of a top part (6) and a bottom part (3) is inserted into the other of the top part (6) and the bottom part (3) for defining a box volume having a box height h1; for each box-shaped distribution unit (10), forming a stack (1) comprising at least two compressible acoustic panels (2), each stack (1) having an uncompressed height h2 which is greater than box height h1; arranging each stack (1) in the bottom part (3) of the associated box-shaped distribution unit (10); arranging the top part (6) of the associated box-shaped distribution unit on top of each stack (2); stacking the at least two box-shaped distribution units (10) and pressing the top part (6′) of the uppermost box-shaped distribution unit (10′) towards the bottom part (3″) of the lowermost box-shaped distribution unit (10″) for bringing each box-shaped distribution unit (10) to the assembled state. The present invention further relates to a system (12) for handling compressible acoustic panels (2).

A method for handling compressible acoustic panels, the method comprising:

providing a plurality of compressible acoustic panels;
providing at least two box-shaped distribution units, each box-shaped distribution unit comprising:
a top part and a bottom part, wherein each box-shaped distribution unit is bringable to an assembled state in which one of the top part and the bottom part is inserted into the other of the top part and the bottom part for defining a box volume having a box height h1;
for each box-shaped distribution unit, forming a stack comprising at least two compressible acoustic panels obtained from said plurality of compressible acoustic panels, wherein each stack has an uncompressed height h2 which is greater than box height h1;
arranging each stack in the bottom part of the associated box-shaped distribution unit;
arranging the top part of the associated box-shaped distribution unit on top of each stack;
stacking the at least two box-shaped distribution units and the stacks of compressible acoustic panels contained therein;
pressing the top part of the uppermost box-shaped distribution unit towards the bottom part of the lowermost box-shaped distribution unit for bringing each box-shaped distribution unit to the assembled state, thereby compressing the compressible acoustic panels contained in the box-shaped distribution units such that each stack has a compressed height of h1.

a plurality of compressible acoustic panels;
at least two box-shaped distribution units, each box-shaped distribution unit comprising:
a top part and a bottom part, wherein each box-shaped distribution unit is bringable to an assembled state in which one of the top part and the bottom part is inserted into the other of the top part and the bottom part for defining a box volume having a box height h1;
and
a securing arrangement;
wherein
each box-shaped distribution unit is configured for receiving a stack comprising at least two compressible acoustic panels obtained from said plurality of compressible acoustic panels, wherein each stack has an uncompressed height h2 which is greater than box height h1;
and
the at least two box-shaped distribution units are configured to be stacked on top of each other and, in the assembled state, compress the compressible acoustic panels contained in the box-shaped distribution units such that each stack has a compressed height of h1, and wherein the at least two box-shaped distribution units are configured to be secured by the securing arrangement in the assembled state.
