Description

The invention relates to a workbench structure with a first support column, a second support column and at least one component connecting the first support column and the second support column, wherein the first support column and the second support column are identical in design and each is arranged with a receptacle facing the other support column for the attachment of at least one media module. From the DE 20 2019 003 741 U1 A modular workbench is known in which threaded inserts are attached under the holes of a grid pattern in the worktop. EP 3 108 765 A1 The design reveals a modular workbench with a first wiring level for horizontal wiring and a second wiring level comprising manhole boxes, horizontal wiring, and angled end sections. These workbenches have a fundamentally fixed structure, with variability limited to that structure. The object of the present invention is to provide a modular workbench structure with which various components can be flexibly assigned to a workbench. This problem is solved by a workbench setup with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments with expedient further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. The workbench structure according to the invention is characterized by the fact that a plurality of areas are provided which are suitable for supplementing the structure with the component and the media module, which also means that a plurality of different components and/or media modules can be mounted. It is preferred that the component is selected from a group comprising a perforated panel, a shelf, a multi-fix rail, a cable duct, and a lighting rail, and/or that the media module is selected from a group comprising sockets, electrical switches, LAN sockets, and fluid connections. The fluid connections can, in particular, supply pneumatic or hydraulic fluids, or even oxygen or another gas, or a lubricant. Therefore, more than one of the media modules from the group can be installed, and more than one of the components from the group can also be installed, providing great flexibility and allowing for adaptation of the workbench's use with its modular design. In this way, optimized adaptation for different tasks in a production hall or assembly line is simplified. Regarding the stability and load-bearing capacity of the two support columns, it is advantageous if the first and second support columns each consist of a first leg and a second leg connected by a back wall, and if the first leg, the second leg, and the back wall define and form the receptacle. Since the mass of the media modules to be inserted into the receptacle can vary, as can the forces acting on the media modules, this design ensures sufficient load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, the variability for attaching media modules and other accessories is increased if at least one longitudinal groove is formed in the first leg and/or the second leg. The groove does not need to be further structured and can therefore be free of detents or locking positions to allow stepless adjustment of the installation position. It is also advantageous if several grooves are formed in the first leg and the second leg, as this simplifies the use of different additional benefits from the components and media modules and also provides increased variability in terms of placement. Manufacturing is simplified and made more cost-effective if the first and second legs are designed to be mirror images of each other, especially if the support column is made from an extruded profile of aluminum and/or plastic. The support columns can be easily produced by cutting them to length; they can only be differentiated into the first and second support columns by their appropriate orientation. It is further provided that each of the support columns has an adapter plate for attachment to a workbench, which can also serve for cable or line management, especially if openings for the routing of lines are formed in the adapter plate for each of the legs. It is particularly advantageous if an electrically conductive strip, especially a copper strip, connects one of the legs of a support column to the adapter plate and/or a ground wire. This makes it suitable for use in ESD (electrostatic discharge) environments. to dissipate electrical currents or charges, as is needed, for example, in circuit board manufacturing or in aircraft or automobile construction. The band can be contacted with the support column via a T-nut arranged in one of the grooves, thus further increasing the utility of the provided grooves. Furthermore, more than one T-nut can be used in more than one groove on more than one support column. The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description, as well as those subsequently mentioned in the figure description and/or shown in the figures alone, can be used not only in the combinations specified, but also in other combinations or on their own, without departing from the scope of the in
