Description

The invention relates to an actuating device for locking a tilting gate or the like, which is designed with a drive rail for a along the drive rail by an electromechanical drive movable guided slide, directly or indirectly in the closed position of the tipping door or the like a push rod substantially horizontal forcefully so urged that a pivotable and displaceable, connected to the push rod push member that transmits substantially horizontal movement of the push rod in a vertical movement with the gate closed on a plunger.

In the DE 295 12 632 U1 a safety lock for motorized garage doors is described. It should better secure the door with the electric motor drive and this easily be retrofitted, with little technical and financial effort manufacturable and mountable device can be used, which effectively prevents a violent breaking of the gate from the outside. For this purpose, an additional safety lock is used for motorized garage doors, wherein the gate has on its inner side at least one, in the closed vertical position automatically acted upon by the drive in a garage-side rest, latching pawl. In this case, the pawl is connected to the door drive via a kinematic translation member and this connectable with the pawl pull rope.

A locking device for a swing gate gives the DE 76 26 612 U1 again.

The object of the present invention is that an actuating device for locking a tilting gate or the like is to be created, which is acted upon by a stationary, electromechanical drive force moderately indirectly so that both a Verals and Endriegelung the lock in the closed position of the tilt gate or the like possible is.

The object of the invention is achieved with an actuating device according to the features of claim 1. The dependent claims provide a further embodiment of the inventive concept again.

It is an actuating device for locking a tilting gate or the like, for example, for garages with a drive rail for a movable along the drive rail by an electromechanical drive slide formed so that this directly or indirectly in the closed position of the tipping door or the like via a push rod, the substantially horizontally by force is applied so that a pivotally connected and slidably connected to the push rod push member transmits the substantially horizontal movement of the push rod in a substantially vertical movement with the door closed on a plunger and thus on the locking device. Such an actuator can transmit both train and pressure.

The push rod guided inside or on a drive rail via the slide or the like is provided with a first pivot point on the slide or the like, and at the other end is pivotally or locally displaceably guided in a guide via a first axis. In this case, the thrust member is articulated on the first axis at one end so that it acts pivotally and spatially variable via a second axis on the plunger. The second axis is guided in another setting. This backdrop has a vertical course and is arranged opposite to the aforementioned first backdrop below this. The first scenery can be arranged to the vertical backdrop, for example, at an angle of about 90 °. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is possible that the two scenes are aligned with each other at an obtuse angle to each other, but the second backdrop vertically with the door closed, preferably parallel to the door leaf runs. The scenes are preferably housed in a common housing.

In order to be able to carry out the tensile and compressive movement via the thrust member, in a preferred embodiment this is fork-shaped at least on one side. The same is true for the pestle. By this configuration, it is possible to produce a slight geared connection between the thrust member and the plunger.

To the housing of the actuator, a spring housing connects, in which the plunger is guided. In this case, the plunger on a stop on the one hand limits the same depth of penetration into the spring housing and at the same time forms a support for a spring element. The plunger is loaded by the force of this spring element. The above-described actuator for locking a tilt gate or the like is mounted below the drive rail in the upper edge region of the door or the like thereto.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a possible embodiment shown in the drawings.

It shows:

1 : A perspective view of a portion of a drive rail and actuator assembly operatively connected thereto via a push rod;

2 a side sectional view through the actuator with the lock not actuated;

3 : as 1 but in the position in which the lock has been actuated;

4 : as 3 ; however, in a sectional view of the actuator.

When in the 1 shown perspective cutout drawing is a drive rail 4 reproduced, the end to a frame or frame 5 is attached. Inside the drive rail 4 is a portable sled 21 pointing to the ground a takeaway 6 has, at the over a pivot point 3 a push rod 2 connected. The other end of the push rod 2 is about a first axis 9 with an actuator 1 that have a gate attachment 7 attached to the overhead door, not shown, or the like, connected. In the embodiment, the first axis 9 in a sloping backdrop 12 guided. Below the scenery 12 is directed to the floor, about at the end of a vertical backdrop 11 in which a second axis 10 to be led. Here are the scenes 11 and 12 preferably within a housing 18 , at the lower end of a spring housing 13 with a pestle 8th connected.

To illustrate the gear connection between the push rod 2 and the pestle 8th will be on the 2 directed. About the first axis 9 is in the sectional view of 2 a push member 14 at one end over the first axis 9 and at the other end on the second axis 10 between the push rod 2 and the pestle 8th interposed. It is both the push member 14 as well as one of the pestles 8th preferably fork-shaped, so as to effectively connect and support the axles 9 and 10 to be able to guarantee.

In the spring housing 13 is a spring element 15 stored. In this case, the spring element is supported 15 in the lower part against the spring housing 13 off and in the upper part at a stop 16 who is at the pestle 8th is available.

At the same time, by the stop 16 the way of the pestle 8th in this position the 2 limited to the top.

According to the 3 becomes an operating position of the actuator 1 reproduced, in which an operation of the lock, not shown, or the like has been performed. This is particularly clear that due to the displacement of the push rod 2 over the first axis 9 within the backdrop 12 simultaneously a change of location of the second axis 10 within the backdrop 11 took place. This means that the second axis 10 at the bottom of the scenery 11 arrived, which due to the direct or indirect connection an exclusion movement of the plunger 8th from the spring housing 13 has effected. The push rod 2 engages in this position in an incision 20 of the housing 18 one.

While in the 2 still the push member 14 one to the vertically oriented plunger 8th has taken in an oblique position is in the 4 that has caused the operation of the lock or the like, a change in position of the push member 14 occurred. The push member 14 has been brought into a vertical position, so that due to the slide guides of the scenes 11 and 12 and the simultaneous connection between the push member 14 and the pestle 8th via a bifurcated connection of the plunger 8th from the spring housing 18 has been pushed out. In this position, the spring element 15 compressed. If now the garage door is opened in a subsequent opening travel on the electromechanical drive, not shown, so supports the spring element 15 the retraction of the plunger 8th in the spring housing 13 ,

Instead of the spring element in this embodiment 15 used compression spring can also be used a tension spring, in which case the attack points would have to be changed.

Such an actuator described above can be used for a variety of locks for a flip-flop or the like, because such an actuator 1 can be loaded on both pressure and tension.
