Known partially automated door systems have door leaves that are automatically moved at least in part, for example in a direction to close, with the aid of mechanical door closers and / or electrical door drives. To support an at least partially driven movement of the door leaves, guide rails are used in some door systems, in which a sliding and rotating axis is accommodated in a linearly movable manner. A lever element, which is also rotatably mounted on the other side, is usually located on the sliding and rotating axis, for example on a door closer. Such door systems are often used in public buildings, e.g. Department stores, banks, factories and / or office buildings, the operation of which is to be monitored. Most surveillance systems are implemented using cameras, which are relatively expensive and require surveillance personnel.

The invention provides a communication device for a door leaf of an at least partially automated door system, the door system having a guide rail for supporting a movement of the door leaf between an open position and a closed position. According to the invention, the communication device has the following features: an insert body for inserting the communication device in the guide rail, a transmitter for sending a signal to a communication station and a switch for activating the transmitter, the switch being arranged on a detection section of the insert body so that the switch is actuated becomes when the door leaf passes through a certain detection position on the detection section of the insert body during the movement between the open position and the closed position.

The idea of the invention is that the communication device is provided as a coherent, individually manageable module, which is provided with a switch, for example in the form of a button, and a transmitter. The communication device comprises an insert body in which the transmitter is installed and on which the switch is arranged. The insert body is installed directly in a guide rail, in any position along the guide rail, so that the communication device can detect any position of the door leaf as it moves between the open position and the closed position. The insert body can be installed in the upper functional section of the guide rail, which lies above the guide section of the guide rail. In the guide section of the guide rail, a sliding and rotating axis (hereinafter simply called a sliding element) slides, which is connected to a lever element. The switch on the insert body extends in part from the functional section into the guide section of the guide rail, so that the sliding element actuates the switch as it passes the switch and activates the transmitter within the insert body. The transmitter sends out a signal which is used to monitor the position of the door leaf within the door system and thus to monitor it the operation of the door system can be used. The transmitter can, for example, be battery-operated or work according to an energy harvesting principle and / or set up communication according to a ZigBee or EnOcean standard to send out the signal. The signal can be forwarded to a communication station, for example in the form of a hub or a router, and from there to a processor-controlled medium on which the signal can be enumerated, evaluated or processed in other words. The door system can thus be digitized with the aid of a simple and inexpensive communication device. The communication device according to the invention is simple and intuitive to operate with little effort. In the sense of the invention, it is also conceivable that a plurality of communication devices can be installed within a guide rail in order to record a movement profile of the door leaf. In addition, it is conceivable that several communication devices can be installed on several door systems, for example within a building, in order to collect information from door systems.

With the aid of the invention, data about the use or operation of the door system can be obtained in a simple manner, including: number of locking operations since the installation, number of locking operations during a limited period, for example the use of the door system per day determine. Using this data, a so-called “trend use” of door systems can be determined over the course of the day. In addition, with the aid of the communication device according to the invention, a time measurement between “open” and “closed” can be carried out by marking the signal with a status of the door leaf (open / closed). Such information, which can be obtained with the aid of the signal according to the invention when the signal is enumerated and / or marked with a status of the door leaf, can be used for tracking people in buildings, for targeted heating of building parts, for targeted cleaning after use in certain building parts , such as in sanitary areas and / or hallways, control of lighting systems, targeted marketing, targeted control of security services may be advantageous. Furthermore, rudimentary alarm systems can be determined using the communication device according to the invention. In a large building with a large number of door systems, all doors can be monitored “at a glance”. In addition, the communication device according to the invention for security systems, such as Fire protection systems, can be advantageous to detect movements in a fire and to intervene in a targeted manner. The communication device according to the invention can also bring advantages from the point of view of energy efficiency, for example in the case of self-monitoring. Furthermore, targeted maintenance of damaged door systems can be carried out with the aid of the communication device according to the invention. More detailed information about the life cycles of door systems can be determined by listing the triggered signals. In addition, the communication device according to the invention can be advantageous when starting up the door systems in order to avoid unnecessary complaints. In addition, the communication device according to the invention can be used to evaluate the type of use of door systems, which can be advantageous when advising the customer in a targeted manner.

Another important advantage of the communication device according to the invention is that it can be installed easily and inconspicuously even in existing door systems in order to upgrade the door systems. Furthermore, the communication device according to the invention can be easily dismantled, for example for maintenance and / or for use in another door system.

Furthermore, it can be provided in the context of the invention in a communication device that the insert body has a preferably closed and / or sealed receiving space for the transmitter. The transmitter can thus be protected against manipulation, damage and / or weather influences.

Furthermore, it can be provided in the context of the invention in a communication device that the insert body has at least one, preferably wing-like guide section for supporting engagement in a functional section of the guide rail, in particular in a form-fitting manner. The guide section allows the communication device to be positioned easily and comfortably within the guide rails and supported there. The fitter can grip the insert body with only one hand and feel the correct mounting position by reaching behind the guide section on the insert body on one edge in the functional section of the guide rail.

Furthermore, in the context of the invention, it can be provided in a communication device that the insert body has an essentially planar fastening section for a flat support on a head side of the guide rail in the functional section. The advantage can thus be achieved that the communication device can be guided up to the stop on the head side of the guide rail in the functional section and can thus be arranged inconspicuously within the guide rail.

In addition, it is conceivable that the fastening section has at least one Fastening receptacle, for example in the form of a receiving bore, for receiving a fastening means, for example in the form of a screw. Thus, the communication device, in particular in addition to the wing-like guide section, can be secured captively within the guide rail.

In addition, it is conceivable in the case of a communication device in the sense of the invention that the insert body has an essentially planar support section which has a support side for supporting the transmitter and an actuation side for attaching the switch. The advantage can thus be achieved that the transmitter can be protected in the receiving space of the insert body and the switch can be positioned in the detection section of the insert body outside the receiving space for the transmitter.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the support section has at least one fastening aid, for example in the form of an insertion opening, for inserting a fastening means, for example in the form of a screw, and for guiding the fastening means through a receiving space of the insert body to a fastening section of the insert body, the Attachment aid on a transmitter-side support section of the insert body preferably has a larger diameter than an attachment receptacle on a guide rail-side attachment section of the insert body. The advantage can thus be achieved that after the insertion of the insert body in the guide rail, a fastener, such as a screw, can simply be pushed through a larger fastening aid on the support section before it can be mounted, for example screwed, on the fastening receptacle on the fastening section of the insert body. The fastening means can thus be provided separately from the rest of the communication device.

Furthermore, it is conceivable within the scope of the invention that the transmitter has a ZigBee or an EnOcean specification. ZigBee is a specification that extends a wireless radio network of a communication station. ZigBee is advantageously suitable for wireless networks with little data traffic, such as sensor networks. EnOcean is a specification that is advantageous for monitoring and controlling house and building technology for batteryless radio sensors.

Furthermore, the invention can provide in a communication device that the switch is designed as a pressure sensor, preferably as a piezo sensor. Such switches are simple and inexpensive components that can be easily installed and that are reliable in operation.

In addition, it can be provided in the context of the invention in a communication device that the switch has an actuation area that can be contacted by a sliding element when moving along the guide rail. This can achieve the advantage that the switch is actuated when passing through a certain detection position of the door leaf.

It is also conceivable that the actuation area of the switch has at least one run-up slope, for example encircling the actuation area. The run-on slope enables the switch to be operated gently and the sliding element to pass smoothly through the guide rail. This enables an inconspicuous actuation of the communication device which does not or does not significantly interfere with the operation of the door system.

Furthermore, a battery can be provided for the operation of the transmitter if, for example, the transmitter has a ZigBee specification. It is conceivable that the battery can also be arranged inside the insert body, preferably in a replaceable manner. Nevertheless, it is also conceivable that the transmitter can be operated without batteries according to an energy harvesting principle if, for example, the transmitter has an EnOcean specification.

Furthermore, the object according to the invention is achieved with the aid of a system for an at least partially automated door system with at least one door leaf, comprising: a guide rail for supporting movement of the door leaf between an open position and a closed position and a communication device for detecting at least one specific detection position of the door leaf during the movement between the open position and the closed position, wherein the communication device is arranged in the guide rail.
