Description

Description

The invention relates to a door system, having a door, in particular a sliding door or a swing door, electrical components which are connected to the door and which are provided for controlling and monitoring at least one door function, and a junction box to which the electrical components are connected via electrical cables.

The invention also relates to a part of a building, in particular a wall, with such a door system.

[0003] Door systems with a door and associated electrical components, for example for opening or closing the door, are known. In modern buildings, especially when they have an electrical building management system, the doors are often connected to numerous electrical components that have or are connected to corresponding connection lines. The connecting lines are generally routed in a wall in which the door is provided, and their ends are led out of the wall. An electrician who is supposed to wire at least part of the door system that has been preassembled by a fitter is therefore later faced with the problem of correctly connecting the numerous connection lines to one another. In some cases, a connection box is provided for this purpose, at which the connection lines to be connected are brought together; however, proper connection requires detailed knowledge of the components to be connected. Often even a specialized expert cannot unambiguously identify from the large number of connection lines those connection lines with which a connection is to be made for the correct function of the component. This not only entails the risk of faulty wiring of the door system, it also increases the time required and thus the costs for correct door wiring.

[0004] EP 1 065 577 B1 relates to a safety device for at least one wing of a door in escape and rescue routes. The door has, among other things, a door lock which is connected to a door control unit. The door control unit is preferably arranged in a housing next to the door and contains a control unit with a microprocessor, a power supply, a display unit, an emergency button and a key switch. The door control unit is connected to a terminal box via a serial interface, to which other peripheral devices, such as an optical and/or acoustic alarm and a fire detector, can also be connected. In addition, the terminal box can be connected to a building bus of the building management system.

The known door systems have the disadvantage that the wiring of the electrical components connected to a door requires specific expertise.

It is now an object of the invention to provide a door system as specified, which avoids or at least reduces the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, the door system should simplify the connection of the electrical components to such an extent that no specific specialist knowledge is required for this. In addition, the door system should be designed to reduce the time required for making the electrical connections and thus also the installation costs.

[0007] This object is achieved by a door system according to claim 1 and by a building part, in particular a wall, according to claim 10. Advantageous designs and developments are specified in the dependent claims.

The door system is characterized in that a connecting element having first electrical contact elements is provided at the ends of at least two different subsets of the electrical lines facing the terminal box, and the terminal box has a connecting element having second electrical contact elements for each connecting element, which is used for electrical connection is formed with the respective connecting element, each connecting element and the so to be connected

Binding connecting element have a mutual assignment designed assignment device, which differs from the assignment devices of the other connection elements and the connection elements to be connected thereto. The door system thus has a door, which can be a sliding door or a swing door, for example with one or two door leaves. Unless otherwise specified, the term "door" in the context of this description includes generally closable openings for the passage of people, goods or vehicles. Thus, the term “door” in the context of this description also means gates that can be designed as roller gates, for example. Electrical components of the door system are connected to the door and are provided for controlling and monitoring at least one door function. The electrical components can also be electromechanical components. The electrical components may be built into the door, mounted on the door, or spaced from the door. In addition, the electrical components have electrical lines or can be connected or are connected to separate electrical lines in order to supply electrical current or electrical signals to the electrical components or to receive electrical current or electrical signals from them. The door system also has a connection box to which the electrical components are connected via the electrical lines when the door system is in operation. The junction box is preferably spaced from the door and is preferably located on or in a part of a building or other suitable support structure. The connection box can be mounted on a building wall or with access for a fitter at least partially or completely in a building wall. At the ends of at least two different subsets of the electrical lines that face the connection box, a connecting element is provided in each case, which has first electrical contact elements. Thus, at least two connecting elements are provided and each of the connecting elements is arranged at that end of a subset of the electrical lines which faces the junction box when the door system is in operation. Each subset of electrical lines may include one or more electrical lines. At least one of the first electrical contact elements is connected to an electrical line of the subset. For each connection element, the connection box has a connection element which has second electrical contact elements and is designed for electrical connection to the respective connection element. When electrically connecting the connecting element to the connection element, the first electrical contact elements are electrically connected to the second electrical contact elements. In order to simplify the wiring of the door system, it is provided that each connection element and the connection element to be connected to it have an allocation device designed for mutual allocation, which differs from the allocation devices of the other connection elements and the connection elements to be connected thereto. The allocation device clearly identifies the pairs to be connected, each consisting of a connecting element and a connecting element. Typically, a door system installer connects the junction box to one part of the electrical components of the door system, while an electrician, independent of the installer, connects the junction box to another part of the building's electrical components of the door system. Due to the assignment device, the electrician who is to partially wire the door system does not need detailed specialist knowledge of the other electrical components and does not have to determine which wire ends protruding from a building wall are to be connected to one another or to which electrical component. Instead, the electrical installer can connect that connecting element to that connecting element which is clearly assigned to one another by the assignment device. The assignment device is easily recognizable for the electrician. Thus, the electrician is no longer faced with the problem of having to determine the ends of a large number of line ends that protrude from a building wall that must be connected to one another. The junction box can have a length between 150 mm and 300 mm, a width between 100 mm and 200 mm and a height between 40 mm and 70 mm.

[0009] Where reference is made to location or direction information in the context of this description, this information relates to an operating position or an operating state

to understand the door system.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the assignment device is a form fit in the connected state between the connection elements and the connection elements to be connected thereto, in particular a form fit between housings and/or contact element arrangements of the connection elements and the connection elements, or a connection element and the connection element provided associated coloring or labeling to be connected to connecting elements. In this way, the connecting element can be clearly and quickly assigned to the connecting element to be connected to it. If a form fit between the connecting elements and the connecting elements connected to it is provided as the assignment device, each pair of a connecting element and a connecting element connected to it has a different form fit compared to another pair of a connecting element and a connecting element connected to it, so that there is a risk of confusion Connecting a connection element is excluded with the connection element to be connected with it. In this case, it is favorable if the form fit is formed between a housing of the connecting element and a housing of the connecting element and/or between a contact element arrangement of the connecting element and a contact element arrangement of the connecting element. A positive connection between the contact element arrangements can be produced in particular by an equal number of first electrical contact elements and second electrical contact elements which can be connected thereto. Coloring or inscriptions assigned to the connecting elements and the connecting elements to be connected to them can also be provided as an assignment device. Each color or label is used only once for one pair of the connector/connector pairs. Thus, a housing of a connection element can have the same coloring and/or inscription as a housing of the connection element to be connected thereto.

The connection between the connection elements and the connection elements to be connected to them can be carried out particularly advantageously if the first and second electrical contact elements are plug-in contact elements and in particular the connection element is a plug or a socket and the connection element is the other of a plug and a socket is. Thus, the electrical connection between the first and second electrical contact elements can be made by plugging them together. This plug-in connection is particularly preferably designed to be detachable again, in particular detachable without tools. A simple design can provide for a plug to be provided as the connecting element, which is plugged into a socket designed as a connecting element, or conversely, a socket which is pushed onto a plug provided as a connecting element is provided as the connecting element.

The connection elements can be provided in a housing wall of the connection box or inside the connection box, in the latter case the connection box having an openable housing for access to the connection elements and through-openings for the electrical lines connected to the connection elements.

For efficient and simple wiring of the door system, it is favorable if each connecting element is connected to one of the electrical components via one of the subsets of the electrical lines and, in particular, each electrical component is connected to one of the connecting elements via one of the subsets of the electrical lines . Thus, the fitter or electrician can assume that each connecting element is actually connected to one of the electrical components and is not confused by additional connecting elements. When each electrical component is connected to one of the connectors via one of the subsets of electrical wires, the door system is fully wired after connecting all connectors to the junction box.

For careful and cost-effective laying of the electrical lines, the electrical lines between the electrical components and the connecting elements

be designed as at least one cable harness. The at least one wiring harness can be installed prefabricated in the door and/or in the supporting structure of the door, in particular a building wall. Several independent cable harnesses can also be provided. The wiring harness is preferably prefabricated with the connecting elements, so that the fitter or electrician does not have to worry about routing the cables between the electrical components and the connecting elements. For example, each electrical component can be connected to a connecting element via its own wiring harness, or multiple electrical components can be connected to multiple connecting elements via a common wiring harness.

Conveniently, the electrical components can be one or more of - an electrically operated motor lock - an electrically detachable lock - a mechanical lock with feedback - an electric door opener - an electric door contact sensor - a bolt switching contact - an electrically driven door drive , - an electrical operating element, in particular a proximity sensor, a button or a key switch, which are door components assigned to the door, and/or one or more of - a control module for a building or - a fire alarm system, which are building components assigned to the building. These components are used to control and monitor at least one door function and can be connected to one another by means of the connection box and the connecting elements, as specified by the assignment devices. Of course, the door system can have additional electrical components. The control module for a building can be a building management system.

It is particularly advantageous if the connection box has a circuit board to which the connection elements are connected, in particular on which the connection elements are mounted, and if the second electrical contact elements of one of the connection elements, in particular a connection element associated with a door component, have electrical connections , In particular conductor tracks, the printed circuit board are connected to the second electrical contact elements of another of the connection elements, in particular a connection element assigned to a building component. In this way, the junction box contains all the electrical connections required to wire the door system in a simple manner by connecting the connectors to the appropriate terminal elements. The connection elements can therefore be connected to one another in accordance with the requirements of the door system via the electrical connections, in particular conductor tracks, of the printed circuit board. In particular, at least one connection element assigned to a door component can be electrically connected to at least one connection element assigned to a building component. The printed circuit board is preferably prefabricated in the connection box and connected to the connection elements.

It when the junction box also has at least one electrical fuse and / or a rectifier and / or a transformer is particularly favorable. This eliminates the need to install and connect the fuse, the rectifier and/or the electrical transformer separately. While the at least one fuse is known to be able to prevent damage to the electrical components due to excessively high currents, the rectifier is used to convert an AC voltage into a DC voltage for the electrical components. The transformer reduces an input voltage, for example mains voltage, to a level required for the electrical components, in particular extra-low voltage. For example, the transformer reduces a mains voltage from 230V to 24V or 12V.

The installation of the door system can be further simplified in that the junction box is designed for mounting on a building wall. A connection box designed in this way can therefore be mounted on the wall of the building in which the door is provided. The junction box is preferably mounted above or next to the door. For mounting on a building wall, the junction box has, for example, a base plate with through-openings or protruding webs or brackets with through-openings. Fastening screws that can be anchored in the building wall can thus be used in the passage openings.

The part of the building according to the invention, in particular a wall, is designed with a door system as described above. With regard to the features of the building part, reference is made to the previous description of the door system, insofar as this description is applicable to the building part.

It should be noted that all figures only represent examples, sometimes in simplified form, and different figures may show different examples, unless stated to the contrary.

Of course, the swing door 2a can also have multiple leaves. In non-illustrated embodiments, the door 2 can also be a sliding door or any gate. Electrical components 3 are connected to the door 2 and are provided for controlling and monitoring at least one door function. In the example according to FIG. 1, the electrical components 3 are an electrical door opener 3a, an electrical operating element 3b and electrical door contact sensors 3c, which are door components assigned to the door 2, as well as a control module or a building management system connection 3d for a building that is not shown, a fire alarm system 3e , a power supply 3f, and an escape route sign 3g, which are building components associated with the building. The electrical components 3 are connected to the junction box 4 via electrical lines 5 . At the ends 6 of at least two different subsets 7 of the electrical lines 5, which end

6 facing the connection box 4 when connected to the connection box 4, a connecting element 8 is provided in each case, which has first electrical contact elements 9, see e.g. Fig. 2. A subset 7 designates one or more of the electrical lines 5. For each connection element 8, the connection box 4 has a connection element 10, which has second electrical contact elements 11 (see, for example, Figure 2), and is designed for electrical connection to the respective connection element 8. In order to be able to connect the electrical components 3 correctly to the connection box 4, i.e. to be able to connect the connecting elements 8 to the correct connecting element 10, each connecting element 10 and the connecting element 8 to be connected to it have an allocation device 12 designed for mutual allocation, wherein each allocation device 12 differs from every other allocation device 12 of the door system 1 . For the sake of clarity, only one assignment device 12 is shown in FIG.

In Fig. 1, a section 13a of a building part 13 is also shown symbolically. Section 13a may represent a wall 13b or a floor 13c. The building part 13, in particular the wall 13b, has the door system 1. For example, the door 2 is built into the wall 13b and the connection box 4 is mounted in or on the wall 13b. Alternatively, the connection box 4 can be mounted on another wall 13b or on another floor. In the latter case, the section 13a symbolizes a ceiling 13c, for which line bushings 14 are provided.

The connection elements 10, which are connected to the connection elements 8 in the operating state of the door system 1, and a plurality of assignment devices 12, with each assignment device 12 being assigned to a connection element 10, can be clearly seen. A form fit between the connecting elements 10 and the connecting elements 8 to be connected thereto or a coloring 15 or inscription 16 assigned to the connecting elements 10 and the connecting elements 8 to be connected thereto can be provided as the assignment device 12 . In the examples according to FIGS. 2 and 3, surface areas 15a around the connection elements 10 are designed in color as assignment devices 12 and are provided with an inscription 16. The connecting elements 8, not shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, also have a color marking 15, preferably with the same color, and/or an inscription 16, preferably an at least partially identical inscription, as assignment devices 12. Since some connection elements 10 have different shapes, in particular a different number of second electrical contact elements 11, the correct assignment of the connection elements 8 to the connection elements 10 can also take place, at least for some connection elements 8, by the form fit with the connection elements 10. In general, the form fit between the housings 17 and/or contact element arrangements 18 of the connecting elements 10 and the connecting elements 8 can be formed.

Any plug connections with which the individual cable harnesses 21a are connected to one another can have a mutual locking mechanism in order to prevent the connection from being released in the area that is inaccessible after assembly (e.g. in the door frame 2z). One of the electrical components 3, which is a door component assigned to the door, is a bolt switching contact 3k.
