Description

Technical area

This disclosure relates to a guide assembly configured to operate an insulating sheet in an operating direction between an insulating position along an insulating path and a parking position along a parking path via a transition path, the paths having an inner side and an outer side and an inner transition angle and form an external transition angle.

Professional background

Insulating arrangements for industrial and commercial purposes are well known and form an integral part of facilities and operations where there is a particular temperature or condition on the one hand and a desired temperature or condition on the other. Examples of such insulation or insulating arrangements are doors or gates for freezing or refrigeration devices.

Insulating sheets and rolling shutters using such prior art are e.g. b. WO2021259440 . US5547241 also discloses an insulated hinged door comprising a door panel, each end portion of which is guided along a generally L-shaped track.

However, further improvements in this field are required to expand the use of known insulating sheets and prior art insulating sheets. In particular, there is a need to improve sectional type insulating openings or gates.

Brief description of the invention

An object is achieved by a guide arrangement configured to move an insulating sheet in an operating direction between an insulating position along an insulating path transitioning via a transition path and a parking position along a parking path having an inner side and an outer side with the insulating path and forms an inner transition angle and an outer transition angle. Thus, the guide assembly may be configured to operate an insulating sheet in an operating direction between an insulating position along an insulating path and a parking position along a parking path. The operation takes place via a transition path. The paths form an inner side and an outer side as well as an inner transition angle and an outer transition angle.

The guide assembly includes an outer guide disposed on the outer side along at least a portion of the transition path and configured to guide the insulating sheet in transition from the parking position to the insulating position.

The outer guide is configured to transfer forces from the insulating sheet and direct the forces toward the insulating path during movements or operations from the parking path. As is apparent from the disclosed embodiments.

The outer angle can be the reflection angle of the inner angle.

The outer guide is configured to guide the insulating sheet from one section, such as the parking section, to another section, such as the closing section or the insulating section. Typically, the parking section is horizontal or with a horizontal component and the insulating section is vertical or with a vertical component.

The insulating sheet may be a sheet of insulating material that is flexible and can bend. In such cases, the insulating sheet is also substantially identical during operation through the transition from one section to another section on the inner side and the outer side. In such cases, the external guide serves to optimize the transition speed and reduce wear on the insulating sheet.

The insulating sheet may be a sheet with individual or individual insulating elements that include a core that can be covered by being wrapped in a film that is inserted into a tubular cover to form the insulating sheet. The multiple insulating elements can be held in a frame or arranged on a strand arrangement. In such cases, the external and internal sides may differ during operation. In such a case, the outer guide will further optimize the speed and further reduce wear on the insulating sheet like because the outer guide can be adjusted and adjusted according to the surface or shape of the outer side of the insulation during the transition.

The insulating core material may be of the polyethylene (PE) type due to its insulating properties as well as ready availability and robustness to impacts. The core may be of the closed cell PE type.

The dimensions may vary depending on the need, but the thickness can be used to insulate storage rooms with a temperature down to e.g. B. Minus 60 °C e.g. B. 50-300 mm, 100-250 mm or 160-200 mm. The height can also vary depending on your needs, e.g. B. 400-1200 mm, 600-1000 mm or 750-900 mm or about 800 mm. It has been shown that the guide assembly can accommodate such dimensions and can be modified to accommodate such dimensions. The elements can have lengths in the range of e.g. B. 400-4000 mm, but can be shorter or longer.

The insulating sheet may consist of a plurality of substantially individual insulating elements connected together by one or more strands, robes or webbing. Such a type of insulating sheet is desirable because it is easy to assemble and further has great design flexibility. Furthermore, such a type of insulating sheet is desirable because it is easy to maintain. The first principles of such an insulating sheet are in WO2021259440 disclosed. Further details of such insulating elements are disclosed in a separate section herein.

The guide arrangement is particularly advantageous in such insulating sheet types since the outer guide can be arranged, adjusted to accommodate each insulating element individually, connected to others and in particular the different geometry or surface of the outer side compared to the resulting corresponding geometry or surface to handle the inner side.

Regardless of the type of insulating sheet, the guide assembly improves the transition speed and/or the space or extent of space required for the transition.

In one embodiment, the outer guide includes a belt assembly having a belt suspended between at least one parking belt point toward the parking path and at least one isolation belt point toward the isolation path, and wherein the belt is configured to be in contact with the insulating sheet on the outer side.

Such a belt arrangement is flexible and spans a "closed" surface which effectively catches the free end of the insulating sheet as it is moved from the closed position and is to be directed towards the closed or insulating position. Furthermore, the belt arrangement enables transmission at a relatively higher speed than before.

The belt may be made of a flexible or elastic material to initially absorb forces and then change the direction of the forces. The belt arrangement is particularly advantageous for guiding the individual insulating sheets of the element type. The elements can have a certain height (i.e. expansion in the operating direction) that corresponds to the operating height, i.e. H. Installation height is adjusted, in particular to reduce it. It has therefore been shown that the guide arrangement with the outer guide has a comparatively lower installation height, e.g. B. compared to a roller shutter type installation. At the same time, the transition speed is sufficiently high and the guide arrangement allows the operation of several types of insulating sheets and especially the type based on individual insulating elements.

In one embodiment, the guide assembly is configured to adjust the inner and outer transition angles. The arrangement for adjustment can be a step-by-step adjustment using predetermined angles, e.g. B. is provided by a set of holes and pins. The adjustment arrangement can be “continuous” by rotating and fixing a tenon-like arrangement at a desired angle.

In one embodiment, the guide assembly further includes an inner guide disposed on the inner side along a portion of the transition path and configured to guide the insulating sheet in transition from the insulating position to the parking position.

Thus, the guide has a special and separate guide to handle the transition in the opposite direction to the transition direction guided by the outer guide. The inner guide enables an optimized transition of the insulating sheet by allowing optimized and individual interaction on the insulating sheet or supporting the inner side thereof, regardless of the type of insulating sheet.

The inner guide may include a support wheel assembly having at least one wheel in contact with the insulating sheet on the inner side in transition from the insulating position to the parking position. The wheels provide a simple and strong support to guide the insulating sheet during transition.

The wheeled inner guide is particularly advantageous in installations where the insulating sheet is of the individual element type, as the elements are compressed or held closely together with wheels providing point contact with the inner side of the insulating sheet, which is referred to as proves suitable for supporting the forces at required fast transition speeds and for enabling the geometry of the transition to be within the installation height.

The inner guide may include wheels distributed along a portion of the transition path, and wherein at least two wheels are in contact with the insulating sheet on the inner side during the transition from the insulating position to the parking position.

In one embodiment, the guide assembly includes outer guide as disclosed and an inner guide as disclosed. This enables individual optimization of the transitions towards the respective closing and parking position. In particular, a belt assembly enables transition of an insulating sheet made of individual insulating elements that is pushed from a parking position along a parking path and through the guide and into an insulating position along an insulating path. In this direction, the outer guide essentially handles individual insulating elements. When transitioning from the insulating or closing position along the insulating path and through the guide to the parking position along a parking path, the insulating sheet can be pulled (e.g. the free end can be pulled by strands or ropes) and the insulating sheet is called a act as a single body and the inner side of the insulating sheet can be essentially a surface the length of the insulating sheet.

Thus, it has been shown that an outer guide based on a belt arrangement on the outer side and an inner guide based on a wheel arrangement on the inner side enable overall optimization in terms of increasing the operating speed and reducing the installation height. Furthermore, the arrangement has a reasonably low impact on an insulating sheet, reducing overall wear. Finally, the insulating sheet may be free of interaction with the guide assembly in both the parking position and the insulating position, thus allowing the use of a type of insulating sheet with individual elements, the individual element thus being interchangeable in either position.

One object can be achieved by a sectional type insulating assembly configured with a guide assembly as set forth. The isolating assembly includes a guide assembly disposed between a parking assembly forming the parking path and a closing assembly forming the isolation path. The assemblies cooperate with an insulating sheet configured to park in the parking assembly and insulate in the closing assembly. Thus, there is a parking section and a section where the insulating sheet serves the purpose of insulation, e.g. B. by closing a door or gate, etc.

The parking assembly may include a support for supporting the insulating sheet and other means for mounting on a gasket or a wall. The closing arrangement may comprise a guide or sealing arrangement in front of an opening to be closed or opened, such as a door, a gate or the like. The closure assembly may include fasteners to be attached to a wall, e.g. B. on the circumference of an opening. In particular, the spatial separation between the parking and locking arrangement can be limited to the extent of the guide device, i.e. H. be limited to an extent, which is the installation height. The installation height can be less than 1300mm, less than 1000mm and about 600-700mm. At the same time, the operating speed can be about 1.5-1.6 m/s (max. average from one position to another position).

In one embodiment, the insulating assembly includes an insulating sheet having a plurality of insulating panels extending substantially perpendicular to the direction of operation and operatively connected to cause the insulating sheet to flex in the direction of operation.

Such an insulating sheet has the advantages of being modular, easy to handle, and adjustable as needed, including length (perpendicular to the direction of operation) and height (direction of operation). Furthermore, such an insulating sheet is easy to repair and can be covered with a sleeve to provide further insulation and, last but not least, a suitable surface that is protective and cleanable and wear-resistant. Other aspects such an insulating sheet, construction, etc. will be described in detail later herein.

The covering material can be a reinforced tarpaulin sheet made of PVC or polyester or any other suitable material. The cover can be provided as a film, as a sleeve/tube or the like.

In one embodiment of the isolating assembly, the parking assembly includes a bidirectional drive mechanism with a drive train configured along the parking path in the parking assembly.

The drive train may be appropriately attached to or engaged with the insulating sheet to push and pull the insulating sheet as a single body.

In one embodiment, the parking assembly includes a bidirectional drive mechanism having a drive train configured along the parking path in the parking assembly and engaging a parking end of the insulating sheet. The intervention can be carried out on a rod or a cassette that is rigid, e.g. B. made of steel. The drive mechanism is thus configured to move (e.g., push) the parking end toward the guide assembly during operation from the parking position to the isolating position. In the opposite direction, the drive mechanism is configured to move the parking end away from the guide assembly (e.g., pull the e.g. steel rod attached to the insulating sheet) during operation from the insulating position to the parking position ).

In an embodiment with a flexible sheet comprising a plurality of individual insulating elements, the engagement mechanism may further comprise an array of strands extending from the engagement mechanism, e.g. B. a steel cassette and pass through intermediate insulating elements and to an engagement mechanism at the free end of the insulating sheet. The free end engagement mechanism may be a rigid or semi-rigid rod. The strands can be adjustable in length and longer than, i.e. H. larger than the expansion of the compressed insulating sheets to allow the insulating elements to be loose to some extent when compressed. As such, a drive train is attached to the park end engagement mechanism and there is a further and independent train assembly that goes from the park end engagement mechanism through the insulating sheet, which may consist of individual insulating elements, to a free end engagement mechanism. The further independent strand arrangement can be adjustable independently of the drive mechanism.

One skilled in the art will appreciate such an arrangement and be able to adjust or tune the strand arrangement for excess length, tightness, including the use of strands for preload or tension. The strands can be cords, ropes, webbing or suitable, e.g. B. be flat tension cords. The strands may have some elasticity. As such, the individual insulating elements can be like "beads on a string", where the beads can be tightened or loose on the string, regardless of how the "beads on a string" are pushed or pulled.

In the multiple insulating member embodiment, the drive train can be engaged with a parking end of the insulating sheet. A rigid bar or cassette may be attached to the parking end and drive train. The drive mechanism is thus configured to push the parking end toward the guide assembly. Thus, the insulating sheet is pushed into the insulating position by the guide assembly. In this embodiment, the drive train can be further engaged with the free end, with the free end opposite the parking end. The drive mechanism may be configured to pull the free end toward the guide assembly and thus guide the insulating sheet and/or the free end through the guide assembly to the parking position.

The drive arrangement is particularly simple and is driven by a motor, whereby the drive train can be arranged and linear in accordance with the geometry of the parking arrangement. Furthermore, the drive arrangement can easily be operated at different speeds depending on the direction of operation.

In one embodiment, the insulating assembly is configured with means such that the angle or orientation between the parking assembly and the locking assembly is adjustable. That is, the parking assembly and the locking assembly and the intermediate guide assembly are configured to adjust the inner and outer angles as disclosed.

This allows for a sectional insulating arrangement that can be installed in a variety of buildings. The inner angle can be 90° (right angle) (typical flat ceiling) and basically 180° (straight), in this case it is a vertical arrangement. The adjustable or fixed arrangement can be located in the guide arrangement, so that e.g. B. the locking arrangement is fixed relative to the guide arrangement, while the parking arrangement is adjustable relative to the guide arrangement. The adjustable arrangement can be continuous, e.g. B. between 90° and z. B. 120-140°. In this case, corresponding projections or guides for movement can be provided. The insulating assembly can be made with multiple predetermined or fixed angles.

It is particularly advantageous to arrange a wheel in the proposed belt arrangement in a parking arrangement, so that the belt of the outer guide can automatically follow the angle and form a suitable transition.

Likewise, one or more wheels in the inner guide may advantageously be placed in the parking arrangement to provide a suitable transition of the insulating sheet.

An object is achieved by a method of operating an insulating sheet in an operating direction between an insulating position along an insulating path and a parking position along a parking path. The parking path forms an inner transition angle with the isolation path, which lies opposite an outer transition angle. The procedure includes the following steps.

There is a step of insulating by moving the insulating sheet from the parking position to the insulating position via a transition path, by guiding the insulating sheet along the transition path by means of an outer guide on an outer side of the insulating sheet.

There is a step of parking by moving the insulating sheet from the insulating position via the transition path to the parking position, by guiding the insulating sheet along the transition path by means of an inner guide on an inner side of the insulating sheet opposite to the outer side.

These steps may be performed using one or more combinations of the disclosed embodiments.

The arrangements set forth may be used to separate or isolate doors, gates and openings in a variety of structures and installations, including areas where controlled conditions such as temperature and humidity conditions are important. This includes freezer and cold rooms or houses as non-limiting examples.

Description of embodiments

1 illustrates definitions, a guiding arrangement and an isolating arrangement at a right angle. 1A sets forth general schematics of a specific sectional insulating assembly 400 as described in 1E you can see. An insulating sheet 500 is operated in an operating direction 50 between an insulating position 10 along an insulating path 12 via a transition path 22 to a parking position 30 along a parking path 32. Therefore, an inner side 60 is formed with the insulation path 12 at an inner transition angle 62 and an outer side 70 at an outer transition angle 72, seen here as the reflection angle to the inner angle. The arrangement is to be installed at or within an installation height of 25, as shown.

1B illustrates the insulating assembly 400 at a right angle according to the layout in 1A . 1B shows the sectional type assembly with a guide assembly 200, ie an insulating sheet guide assembly, disposed between a parking assembly 130 forming the parking path 30 and a closing assembly 110 forming the insulating path 12. The parking and locking assemblies 110, 130 are placed relative to each other to form the inner and outer angles 62, 72.

1C illustrates further details of the guide assembly 200, which is shown with an inner guide 160 and an outer guide 170. The outer guide 170 is shown with a belt assembly 172, with a belt 174 suspended between at least one parking belt point 176 towards the parking path 32 and at least one isolation belt point 177 towards the isolation path 12.

1D shows in a perspective view the insulating assembly 400 at right angles corresponding to the layouts in 1B and C and the guide assembly 200 arranged between the parking assembly 130 and the closing assembly 110. The guide assembly 200 is shown with three belt assemblies 172A, B and C.

1E shows the insulating arrangement 400 of 1D with an insulating sheet 500. The insulating sheet 500 has a free end 501 (lower end) and a parking end 503 (upper end) which lies opposite the parking arrangement 130. The insulating assembly 400 obviously has an installation height 25, in the sense that the parking assembly 130 can be inserted within the installation height 25 and the insulating sheet 500 can be operated within the installation height 25 between the closing assembly 110 and the parking assembly 130.

2A shows details and aspects of an embodiment of the guide arrangement 200. The description of the operation is made with reference to definitions of 1A and for illustrative purposes, a portion of an insulating sheet 500 operating in the transition path 22. The outer guide 170 has a strap 174 which engages the insulating sheet 500. The inner guide 160 includes an array of wheels that engage the insulating sheet 500. The interventions take place during the transition between the isolation path 12 and the parking path 32, which here form an internal angle 62, which is a right angle, and whereby the guide arrangement 200 can fit into an installation height 25. 2 B illustrates details of the inner guide 160 and the outer guide 170 as part of the guide assembly 200.

2C shows aspects of the external guide 170, which includes a belt assembly 172, with reference to the operating direction 50A from the separation position 30 to the isolating position 10 (not shown). The belt assembly 172 includes a belt support 173 that supports inflection points that define the path of a belt 174 (belt and dotted line) that can flex and engage the insulating sheet 500 (not shown) during operation. The belt assembly 172 shown has a three-point structure with a turning point, e.g. B. a wheel, ie a parking belt point 176 towards the intended parking position and an isolation belt point 177 towards the intended isolation position. Here, another turning point 175 is installed in an adjustable turning point 178 in the belt support 173.

The belt support 173 has a plurality of guide brackets 179, one of which has a fixable orientation in the form of a square hole.

The belt 174 thus forms a guide that transforms forces from and thus the direction from the insulating sheet 500 towards the insulating path 12 when the insulating free end 501 of the sheet 500 is pushed through when pushing or when a force is applied to the parking end 503 when it is transferred from the parking path 32 in the operating direction 50A. In principle, the belt assembly 172 will operate in the reverse direction when an insulating sheet is pushed through the guide in the opposite/reverse direction.

2 illustrates aspects of a guide element that includes an outer and an inner guide at a right angle. 2D shows aspects of the inner guide 160 having a wheel assembly 162 with at least one wheel 164 arranged to contact the insulating sheet 500 on the inner side 60 in transition from the insulating position 10 to the parking position 30. The inner guide 160 functions in the operating direction 50B, ie from the insulating path 12 to the parking path 32 and when the insulating sheet 500 is pulled, e.g. B. at the parking end 503 to support the insulating sheet on the inner side 60 and to guide the insulating sheet 500 from the insulating path 12 towards the parking path 32. The insulating sheet 500 can be pulled through upon pulling or applying a force to the parking end 503 when transferred from the insulating path 12 in the operating direction 50B. In principle, the wheel assembly 162 will operate in the reverse direction when an insulating sheet is pulled through the guide in the opposite/reverse direction.

3A shows aspects of an inner guide 160 in the form of a wheel assembly 162, here with five wheels 164 distributed on circumferences to engage contact points 508 of an insulating sheet 500 (not shown). The wheels 164 are supported by wheel supports 166 which have brackets 169 in the form of square holes so that the wheel assembly 162 is in position with respect to the guide assembly 200 (not shown). Alignment can be maintained. 3B shows individual wheel supports 166 distributed to provide support or guidance in a direction perpendicular to the intended direction of operation.

4 shows a guide arrangement 200 in different perspectives in A, B and C. The guide arrangement 200 has an extension to fit into an installation height 25. The guide assembly is shown with an internal guide 160 in the form of three wheel assemblies 162A, B, C and an external guide 170 in the form of three belt assemblies 172A, B, C. The wheel assemblies 172 are supported in support rods 230 of the guide assembly 200 by brackets 232 distributed in a suitable shape or pattern on support plates 220 to support the transition path.

It is noted that the belt assembly is shown without an optional support rod 230. As such, the turning points toward the parking paths may be held or supported by the guide assembly 200 like the other turning points. Alternatively, the turning points can e.g. B. wheels that can be supported elsewhere, such as on the parking assembly 130 (not shown).

5 illustrated with reference to 1 Aspects of a guide assembly and an isolating assembly for operation with the inner angle at an obtuse angle. Furthermore illustrated 5 another aspect that relates to the right-angled installation of 1 is applicable. 5A shows the arrangement with the inner angle 62 at an obtuse angle. 5B shows the parking arrangement 130, which is configured with angle adjustment means in the form of curved recesses 135 which cooperate with corresponding means in the guide arrangement 200. In this installation, the parking belt point 176 is attached to the parking assembly 130 by being installed in one of a set of distributed parking brackets 133, here distributed substantially along the parking path implied by the linear geometry of the parking assembly 130 is. Thus, the strap 174 in the strap assembly provides a suitable guide for a transition at an obtuse angle. An inner guide 160 is also specified. 5C and D - with reference to 1D and E - show the intended operation 50 of an insulating sheet 500 at an obtuse transition angle.

5 further discloses a bidirectional drive mechanism 132, which is also shown in FIG 1 installation shown is applicable. The bidirectional drive mechanism 132 includes a powertrain 134 configured along the parking path 32 in a powertrain support beam 138 in the parking assembly 130. The drive train 134 is here engaged with the parking end 503 of the insulating sheet 500. Thus, the drive mechanism 132 is configured to move the parking end 503 toward the guide assembly 200 (e.g., push the insulating sheet). When driven in the opposite direction, the drive mechanism 132 moves the parking end 503 away from the guide assembly 200 and drives the insulating sheet from the insulating position 10 to the parking position 30.

The insulating sheet 500 may be a single body or may include individual insulating elements that cooperate via strands or robes, as exemplified and e.g. B. like loose beads on a string. In the case of using multiple insulating elements, pressing the parking end 503 compresses the individual insulating elements and forms a single body. When operated in the opposite direction and when strands or robes exceed the length of all of the individual insulating elements, the individual insulating elements are "free" or "loose", i.e. H. not compressed or contracted, and are operated “individually” by the command assembly during the transition. This enables a lower installation height 25 and/or an increased operating speed.

Alternatively, the drive train 134 engages the free end 501 opposite the parking end 503 and is thus configured to pull the free end 501 toward the guide assembly 200, thereby passing the insulating sheet 500 and/or the free end 501 through the guide assembly 200 is guided to the parking position.

6 illustrates the guide assembly 200 in the obtuse angle configuration with reference to similar structural elements shown in 2 you can see.

6A and B clearly show installation at an obtuse angle with the insulating sheet 500. 6A shows the inner guide 160 and the outer guide 170 in connection with a part of the parking assembly 130 which is configured with angle adjustment means in the form of arched recesses 135 spanning an angle to the inner angle 62, for example from 90 ° to e.g. B. set about 140 ° while interacting with appropriate means in the guide arrangement 200. 6B illustrates the belt assembly 170 and the parking belt point 176 shown in one of FIG 6A distributed parking brackets 133 shown can be placed. Optionally, the inner guide 160 is adjustable by being configured as shown to be inclined, e.g. B. by appropriately placed brackets in the guide support plate. Alternatively, the inner guide 160 may be pivotally connected to the guide support plate and to other brackets 169 connected to the parking assembly 130. 6C illustrates geometries and various relative orientations of respective outer guides and inner guides depending on the actual transition path.

7 illustrates various schemes of belt arrangements 172 in relation to an installation height 25 and for various installation options, including various internal angles. Essentially illustrated 7A a fixed three-point installation 175, 176, 177 and 7B illustrates a fixed two-point fixture 176, 177 substantially fixed in a rectangular guide arrangement.

7C illustrates a three-point installation in which two points are fixed in the guide assembly mount and in which the third point 176 is configured to operate in a cooperatively connected arrangement, e.g. B. a parking arrangement 130 (not shown) to be fixed or positioned and adjustable. 7D shows a corresponding two-point configuration.

7E essentially shows a schematic representation of the in 6C installation shown and that the third point 176 is placed in an adjustable manner. 7F illustrates a corresponding two-point configuration.

More reversal points can be implemented to either adjust the path of the belt or adjust the tension of a belt. Multiple length straps may be available depending on configuration and installed accordingly.

8th illustrates various schemes of internal guide assemblies 160 with a set of distributed wheels 164. 8A essentially illustrates the right-angled installation that is in 2 can be seen where a set of wheels 164 forms a suitable transition path 22 between the parking position 30 and the isolation position 10, as illustrated by the resulting collective shape of the perimeter of the wheels 164 in the wheel assembly 162. Optionally, the wheel assembly 162 may be oriented differently when operating at an obtuse internal angle or with e.g. B. the parking arrangement (not shown) is connected to adjust the alignment.

8B illustrates a schematic installation with a first wheel assembly 162A installed on the guide assembly and a second wheel assembly 162B installed on a tilt parking assembly (not shown). Again, the resulting transition path 22 formed by the circumferences of the wheels 164 is indicated. 8C schematically illustrates a second wheel assembly 162B installed as a single larger wheel 164, which may optionally be positioned at various positions.

The schemes of the 7 and 8th are not limited and can be combined. Furthermore, variants can be created and settings made according to the requirements for either flexibility or simplicity.
