The object of the invention is to provide a system of modular panels that can be connected to one another in many different ways, and which include power supply means for many different types of equipment, such as lighting means, screens, etc.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the field of practical application of the invention, numerous display/compartmentalization systems are known based on modular panels provided with fixing means to one another in different relative positions.

These types of devices are commonly used in museums, exhibition halls, stands and the like, allowing the exhibition surfaces to be maximized, especially when there is not much space available.

Although some of these panels contemplate the inclusion of lighting elements, as well as the installation of televisions, screens or the like, the electrical supply of this equipment is a problem, having to resort to technical floors or ceilings through which to distribute the wiring. power supply for each panel, making it clear that not all exhibition venues have facilities of this type, often having to resort to unsightly solutions and constituting, in any case, a major logistical problem.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The display panel that is recommended satisfactorily solves the problem previously exposed, based on a simple but effective solution.

For this, the panel of the invention is embodied in a modular panel that can be connected both physically and electrically with other panels of the same type, by means of joints that allow different shapes and configurations to be made: straight line, zig-zag, cross, square. or at variable angles, allowing at the same time to offer electrical continuity between the panels so that only one power outlet is necessary for the entire set formed by said panels connected to each other.

More specifically, the panels will be made of light wood, presenting a flattened rectangular prismatic configuration, preferably with rounded side edges, which are finished off at the top and bottom with protective profiles in which the connection means between panels are established.

These means of connection can be exclusively physical, for the simplest version of the panels, or physical and electronic, in such a way that a series of holes will participate in said profiles into which the union fittings can be selectively plugged, as well as different bases. support, the panel being able to have a series of internal chambers in which an integrated transformer and an electronic control board are established through which to feed spotlights, integrated screens on the panel itself, etc., each one at its own voltage and specifically required power level.

In this sense, the access profile to this electronics will be equipped with registrable ventilation covers, with safety fuses and status indicator leds.

In said profile, an electrical connector will also be established in correspondence with each end thereof, which allows, through the corresponding electrical connectors, to give electrical continuity to the group of panels that have been connected to each other, each one being able to adapt to the specific needs of the electronic components linked to each panel that obviously can be very different.

These connectors will have a security cover, so that they remain hidden in case they are not used.

In accordance with another of the characteristics of the invention, and to facilitate the installation of lighting means on the panel, it will have a 12V multi-rail profile on both sides, in correspondence with its upper edge, connected to the internal electronics. of the panel that, in addition to allowing the installation of lighting means, serves as a means of hanging elements to be exposed through cables with their corresponding height-adjustable hanging means.

Regarding the fittings or means of physical connection between panels, these will be materialized in laminar bodies equipped with lugs that can be selectively plugged into the holes of the upper and lower profiles of the panels, these being able to present different configurations, such as straight, angled, in "T", being able to present different lengths and number of lugs to connect the panels at an angle, parallel, coplanar, cross, "T", zig-zag, etc. Said laminar bodies will be complemented with a pair of holes for the threading of two security bolts, preferably manually operated to facilitate said assembly tasks.

The panels allow the hanging of pictures in various configurations according to the use of one or more cables and the size of the pictures to be hung, being able to be completely or partially covered with adhesive vinyl, as well as complemented with illuminated bases through the installation itself. internal electrical panel, integrate cabinets, televisions, screens, speakers, mirrors, lighting, etc.

In this way, a lightweight, versatile, easy and quick to assemble panel is achieved, with innumerable assembly possibilities, with great adaptability to the available space, which only requires a power outlet for a group of panels connected to each other, being able to adapt to very different electrical needs depending on the type of equipment associated with it.
