Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Gelenk für aus Segmenten bestehende Abdeckungen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a joint for covers consisting of segments according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bekannte Abdeckungen dieser Art, die bspw. als Sektionaltore für Garagen dienen, werden beim Öffnen auf einer gekrümmten Bahn aus der Öffnungsfläche ausgerollt und dabei aus ihrer vertikalen Lage in eine horizonale Lage gebracht. Bei den bekannten Gelenken zwischen den Segmenten dieser Abdeckungen entsteht beim Übergang der einzelnen Segmente in die gekrümmte Bahn ein relativ breiter Spalt zwischen den Segmenten, der sich beim Schließen der Öffnungsfläche wieder schließt. Dies begründet eine erhebliche Verletzungsgefahr für den Benutzer, wenn dieser während des Schließvorgangs versehentlich in einen solchen sich schließenden Spalt greift. Auch bei automatisch oder sogar ferngesteuert betätigten Abdeckungen dieser Art ist diese Quetschgefahr gegeben.Known covers of this type, which serve, for example, as sectional doors for garages, are rolled out of the opening area on a curved path and thereby brought out of their vertical position into a horizontal position. In the known joints between the segments of these covers, when the individual segments transition into the curved path, there is a relatively wide gap between the segments, which gap closes again when the opening area is closed. This creates a considerable risk of injury to the user if he accidentally reaches into such a closing gap during the closing process. Even with automatic or even remote controlled covers of this type are at risk of being crushed.

Ein Gelenk der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der FR-A 1 310 605 bekannt. Auch bei diesem bekannten Gelenk entsteht beim Übergang der mittels des Gelenkes miteinander verbundenen Segmente von der eben fluchtenden in die gekrümmte Bahn im Bereich der Gelenke zwischen den benachbarten Segmenten ein Spalt- bzw. Zwickelraum, der sich beim Schließen der Öffnungsfläche wieder schließt, wodurch für einen Benutzer eine Verletzungsgefahr begründet wird.A joint of the type mentioned is known from FR-A 1 310 605. Also in this known joint, when the segments connected to one another by means of the joint transition from the just aligned into the curved path in the region of the joints between the adjacent segments, a gap or gusset space that closes again when the opening area is closed, thereby for one User a risk of injury is justified.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Gelenk gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 zu schaffen, bei dem jegliche Verletzungsgefahr sicher ausgeschlossen ist.The invention has for its object to provide a joint according to the preamble of claim 1, in which any risk of injury is safely excluded.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst. Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Gelenkes sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.This object is achieved with the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. Preferred developments of the joint according to the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Mit den Deckflügeln wird sichergestellt, daß auf der Innenseite der Abdeckung, auf der die Gelenkachse angeordnet ist, jegliche Quetschgefahr aufgrund eines sich schließenden Hohl- bzw. Zwickelraums sicher ausgeschlossen ist.The cover wings ensure that on the inside of the cover, on which the hinge axis is arranged, any risk of crushing due to a closing cavity or gusset space is reliably excluded.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellten, einander benachbarten Segmente 1 und 2 einer Abdeckung, bspw. eines Garagentors, sind gemäß Fig. 1 in der Schließstellung der Abdeckung vertikal übereinander ausgerichtet in einer Ebene angeordnet, wodurch sich ein horizontales Teilungsmuster des Tors ergibt.1, adjacent segments 1 and 2 of a cover, for example a garage door, are arranged according to FIG. 1 in the closed position of the cover aligned vertically one above the other in one plane, which results in a horizontal division pattern of the door.

Eine untere Endfläche 4 des Segments 1 liegt einer oberen Endfläche 5 des Segments 2 gegenüber. Beide Endflächen sind etwa zylindrisch gekrümmt und verlaufen in Schließstellung konzentrisch zu einer Gelenkachse 3, wobei zwischen den Endflächen 4 und 5 ein weitgehend konstanter Abstand d gewahrt ist, der mindestens 1 mm betragen sollte.A lower end surface 4 of the segment 1 is opposite an upper end surface 5 of the segment 2. Both end faces are approximately cylindrically curved and, in the closed position, run concentrically to an articulation axis 3, a largely constant distance d being maintained between the end faces 4 and 5, which should be at least 1 mm.

Die gezeichnete gegenseitige Lage der Segmente 1 und 2 wird durch eine Vielzahl von Scharnieren 11 sichergestellt, die mit Scharnierarmen 9 und 10 entlang der Endflächen 4 und 5 in gegenseitigem Abstand auf der Innenseite, d.h. in Verschwenkungsrichtung der Segmente 1 und 2 befestigt sind. Jedes Scharnier 11 besitzt einen längeren Scharnierarm 9 und einen kürzeren Scharnierarm 10, wobei der längere von der Gelenkachse 3 bis zum oberen Segment 1 reicht und auf diesem montiert ist, während der kürzere Arm 10 auf dem unteren Segment 2 montiert ist. Wie Fig. 1 erkennen läßt, sind die Scharniere 11 derart ausgebildet und an den Segmenten 1 und 2 befestigt, daß die Schwenkachse 3 an der Innenseite des unteren Segments 2 und in einem Abstand zur Oberkante dieses Segments angeordnet ist, der etwa dem Abstand zwischen der Gelenkache und der Außenseite des Segments 2 entspricht. Der Abstand zwischen der Gelenkachse 3 und der Oberkante des unteren Segments 2 könnte natürlich auch kleiner gewählt werden. Dabei ist darauf zu achten, daß selbst bei voll verschwenkten Segmenten (siehe Fig. 1, 2) kein Spalt zwischen den Endflächen 4 und 5 entsteht, der einen vorgegebenen Maximalwert überschreitet. Die Bewegungsrichtung beim Öffnen oder Schließen des Tors verläuft rechtwinklig zur Gelenkachse 3 des Scharniers 11.The drawn mutual position of the segments 1 and 2 is ensured by a plurality of hinges 11, which are fastened with hinge arms 9 and 10 along the end faces 4 and 5 at a mutual distance on the inside, ie in the direction of pivoting of the segments 1 and 2. Each hinge 11 has a longer hinge arm 9 and a shorter hinge arm 10, the longer one extending from the hinge axis 3 to the upper segment 1 and being mounted thereon, while the shorter arm 10 is mounted on the lower segment 2. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the hinges 11 are designed and attached to the segments 1 and 2 in such a way that the pivot axis 3 is arranged on the inside of the lower segment 2 and at a distance from the upper edge of this segment which is approximately the distance between the Jointache and the outside of segment 2 corresponds. The distance between the hinge axis 3 and the upper edge of the lower segment 2 could of course also be chosen to be smaller. Care should be taken to ensure that even with fully pivoted segments (see FIGS. 1, 2) there is no gap between the end faces 4 and 5 that exceeds a predetermined maximum value. The direction of movement when opening or closing the door is perpendicular to the hinge axis 3 of the hinge 11.

Die beiden Endflächen 4 und 5 sind an ihren auf der Außenseite der Abdeckung sitzenden Außenkanten 7 und 8 abgerundet ausgebildet. Des weiteren sind die Außenkanten in einem Abstand e (beispielsweise zumindest 4 mm) voneinander entfernt, der derart bemessen ist, daß ein Einklemmen einer Fingerspitze nicht möglich ist.The two end faces 4 and 5 are rounded at their outer edges 7 and 8 which are seated on the outside of the cover. Furthermore, the outer edges are at a distance e (for example at least 4 mm) from one another, which is dimensioned such that it is not possible to pinch a fingertip.

Vorteilhafterweise werden gem. Fig. 2 im Bereich der seitlichen Ränder A,B der konkaven Endfläche 4 Vorsprünge ausgebildet, die sich in unverschwenktem Zustand in Richtung zur benachbarten konvexen Endfläche 5 erstrecken. Während dem Verschwenken bildet zumindest einer der Vorsprünge A,B mit der Endfläche 5 einen Spalt, der unter der zulässigen Weite d liegt. Durch diese Konstruktion bleibt zwischen den Vorsprüngen A,B genügend Raum, um dort beispielsweise eine Dichtung 25 anzuordnen.According to. Fig. 2 formed in the region of the lateral edges A, B of the concave end surface 4 projections which extend in the non-pivoted state in the direction of the adjacent convex end surface 5. During the pivoting, at least one of the projections A, B forms a gap with the end face 5 which is below the permissible width d. This construction leaves enough space between the projections A, B, for example to arrange a seal 25 there.

Wenn die Segmente 1 und 2 beim Eintreten der Abdeckung in die gekrümmte Bahn gegeneinander verschwenkt werden, um die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Schwenkstellung zu erreichen, wandert die Endfläche 4 des Segments 1 in Bezug auf die Endfläche 5 des Segments 2 unter teilweiser Freigabe der Endfläche 5, ohne daß die Weite d des Spalts zwischen den Endflächen einen noch zuverlässigen Maximalwert überschreitet.If the segments 1 and 2 are pivoted against one another when the cover enters the curved path in order to achieve the pivoting position shown in FIG. 1, the end face 4 of the segment 1 moves with respect to the end face 5 of the segment 2 with partial release of the end face 5 without the width d of the gap between the end faces exceeding a still reliable maximum value.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Gelenkachse 3 exzentrisch zu den Endflächen (4,5) angeordnet, so daß auf die Spaltweite, die im geschlossenen Zustand der Abdeckung konstant sein kann, während dem Verschwenken gezielt Einfluß genommen werden kann. Gem. Fig. 2 ist die Spaltweite im Schließzustand in den Endbereichen A und B der Endflächen 4 und 5 minimal. Bei einer horizontalen Verschiebung der Gelenkachse 3 in der mit f gekennzeichneten Richtung aus der Krümmungsachse R der Endflächen 4,5 öffnet sich der Spalt während dem Verschwenken zwischen der konkaven Endfläche 4 und der gedachten Verlängerung der konvexen Endfläche 5 in der Verschwenkungsrichtung α, d.h. der Vorsprung B liegt nach dem Verschwenken radial weiter von der gedachten Verlängerung der Endfläche 5 entfernt als der Vorsprung A. Verschiebt man die Gelenkachse 3 dagegen in Richtung zur Oberkante (g), so verjüngt sich der Spalt während dem Verschwenken in der Verschwenkungsrichtung α. Je nachdem, welches Dichtungsprinzip verwendet wird, kann die eine oder die andere Verschiebungsrichtung vorteilhaft sein, um Zwängungen der Dichtung auszuschließen.The hinge axis 3 is expediently arranged eccentrically to the end faces (4, 5), so that the gap width, which can be constant when the cover is closed, can be influenced in a targeted manner during the pivoting. 2, the gap width in the closed state in the end regions A and B of the end faces 4 and 5 is minimal. With a horizontal displacement of the joint axis 3 in the direction marked f from the axis of curvature R of the end faces 4, 5 the gap opens during the pivoting between the concave end face 4 and the imaginary extension of the convex end face 5 in the pivoting direction α, ie the projection B lies radially further away from the imaginary extension of the end face 5 after the pivoting the projection A. On the other hand, if the hinge axis 3 is displaced in the direction of the upper edge (g), the gap tapers during the pivoting in the pivoting direction α. Depending on which sealing principle is used, one or the other direction of displacement can be advantageous in order to exclude seal constraints.

Wie Fig. 1 erkennen läßt, entsteht beim Verschwenken des Segments 1 in Bezug auf das Segment 2 ein Zwickelraum 6 zwischen dem Scharnierarm 9 und der Innenseite des Segments 2, der bei dem Zurückschwenken des Segments in die in der Zeichnung gestrichtelt gezeichnete Stellung wieder verschwindet. Um zu verhindern, daß eine Person, die während des Schließens der Abdeckung im Inneren des zu schließenden Raums steht, in diesen Zwickelraum hineingreifen kann, sind an den Seitenkanten des Scharniers 11 Deckflügel 12 befestigt, die den Zwickelraum 6 nach außen abschließen (s. Fig. 3).As can be seen in FIG. 1, when the segment 1 is pivoted with respect to the segment 2, a gusset space 6 is formed between the hinge arm 9 and the inside of the segment 2, which disappears when the segment is pivoted back into the position shown in broken lines in the drawing. In order to prevent a person standing inside the space to be closed during the closing of the cover from reaching into this gusset space, cover wings 12 are fastened to the side edges of the hinge 11 and close off the gusset space 6 to the outside (see FIG 3).

Das in Fig. 4 dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel ermöglicht die Anwendung des Blechcoilverfahrens, bei dem das Rohmaterial für einen ersten 18 und einen zweiten Blechmantelteil 19 jeweils zu Rollen (coils) aufgewickelt ist. Die beiden kontinuierlich von den Coils abgezogenen Blechmantelrohlinge werden zunächst durch Profilpressen in das gewünschte Profil gebracht und dann zusammen mit dem ebenfalls als Rollenmaterial zur Verfügung stehenden Kunststoffträgerband 20 positioniert, wobei das Kunststoffträgerband 20 am oberen und unteren Ende jedes Segments, jeweils in einer von dem ersten und zweiten Blechmantel 18, 19 gebildten V-förmigen Ausnehmung 26 sitzt. Der von dem ersten 18 und zweiten Blechmantel 19 und dem Kunststoffträgerband 20 eingeschlossene Hohlraum 22 wird mit einem PUR-Schaumsystem ausgeschäumt.The exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 4 enables the sheet metal coil method to be used, in which the raw material for a first 18 and a second sheet metal jacket part 19 is wound into coils. The two sheet metal jacket blanks continuously withdrawn from the coils are first brought into the desired profile by profile pressing and then positioned together with the plastic carrier tape 20, which is also available as a roll material, the Plastic carrier tape 20 sits at the upper and lower end of each segment, each in a V-shaped recess 26 formed by the first and second sheet metal shells 18, 19. The cavity 22 enclosed by the first 18 and second sheet metal jacket 19 and the plastic carrier tape 20 is foamed with a PUR foam system.

Durch die Konstruktion des Segmentmantels ist der Hohlraum in sich vollständig geschlossen, so daß der Druckaufbau beim Schäumen vereinfacht wird. Die im Hohlraum ausgebildeten Hinterschneidungen an dem zweiteiligen Blechmantel 18, 19 und an dem Kunststoffträgerband 20 im Bereich der Endflächen werden hinterschäumt und tragen so zu einer formschlüssigen Verbindung der Segmentbauteile bei. Nach dem Ausschäumen durchläuft das Bandmaterial eine Aushärtestrecke und wird anschließend auf das gewünschte Maß abgelängt.Due to the construction of the segment jacket, the cavity is completely closed, so that the pressure build-up during foaming is simplified. The undercuts formed in the cavity on the two-part sheet metal jacket 18, 19 and on the plastic carrier tape 20 in the region of the end faces are back-foamed and thus contribute to a positive connection of the segment components. After foaming, the strip material goes through a curing section and is then cut to the desired size.

Der in das Kunststoffträgerband 20 eingelegte Blechsteg 21 dient zur Befestigung der Gelenkschrauben, wobei durch die Distanzhülse 23 eine Verformung des Paneelprofils durch das Anziehen der Schrauben verhindert wird.The sheet metal web 21 inserted into the plastic carrier tape 20 is used to fasten the hinge screws, with the spacer sleeve 23 preventing the panel profile from being deformed by tightening the screws.

Die nach diesem Verfahren hergestellten Segmente zeichnen sich durch hohe Festigkeit bei geringem Gewicht aus. Durch die Verwendung von PUR-Schaum als Trägermaterial werden sehr gute Isolationseigenschaften erzielt. Zwischen den beiden Blechmaterialien 18, 19 sind im Bereich der Endflächen 4,5 jeweils ein Kunststoffträgerband 20 angeordnet, d.h. die Mantelteile haben untereinander keine direkten Berührungspunkte. Aufgrund der schlechten Wärmeleitfähigkeit des Kunststoffmaterials wird dadurch der Wärmeverlust durch Wärmeleitung im Mantelbereich wesentlich verringert (thermische Trennung).The segments produced by this process are characterized by high strength and low weight. Very good insulation properties are achieved by using PUR foam as the carrier material. A plastic carrier tape 20 is arranged between the two sheet materials 18, 19 in the area of the end faces 4, 5, ie the jacket parts do not have any direct points of contact with one another. Due to the poor thermal conductivity of the plastic material, the heat loss due to heat conduction in the jacket area is significantly reduced (thermal separation).

In dem Kunststoffträgerband 20 sind Ausnehmungen 24 ausgebildet, in die Dichtungen 25, vorzugsweise Weichlippendichtungen, einführbar sind. Durch diese bleibt der Spalt zwischen zwei benachbarten Paneelen in jeder Verschwenkstellung geschlossen. Die Dichtungen 25 sind sowohl in der konvexen 5 als auch in der konkaven Endfläche 4 der Segmente vorgesehen und liegen jeweils an der korrespondierenden Endfläche der benachbarten Paneele an.Recesses 24 are formed in the plastic carrier tape 20, into which seals 25, preferably soft lip seals, can be inserted. Through this, the gap between two adjacent panels remains closed in each pivot position. The seals 25 are provided both in the convex 5 and in the concave end surface 4 of the segments and are in each case in contact with the corresponding end surface of the adjacent panels.

Die Dichtungen 25 können auch einstückig mit dem Kunststoffträgerband 20 und/oder nur an einer Endfläche zweier benachbarter Segmente ausgebildet werden.The seals 25 can also be formed in one piece with the plastic carrier tape 20 and / or only on one end face of two adjacent segments.

Offenbart ist ein Gelenk für eine auf einer gekrümmten Bahn bewegbare Abdeckung. Diese ist durch die Gelenke in um die Gelenkachse gegeneinander verschwenkbare Segmente unterteilt. Die Endflächen zweier benachbarter Segmente sind jeweils derart ausgebildet, daß der zwischen diesen vorhandene Spalt während der Verschwenkung der Segmente einen vorgebenen Maximalwert nicht überschreitet. Der erfindungsgemäße Aufbau mit einem zweiteiligen Segmentmantel und einem eine Dichtung tragenden Kunststoffträgerband, das jeweils an den Endflächen der Segmente angeordnet ist, ermöglicht die Anwendung eines rationellen Fertigungsverfahrens, wobei der Segmenthohlraum vorzugsweise mit einem PUR-Schaumsystem ausgeschäumt wird.Disclosed is a hinge for a cover that is movable on a curved path. This is divided by the joints into segments which can be pivoted relative to one another about the joint axis. The end faces of two adjacent segments are each designed such that the gap between them does not exceed a predetermined maximum value during the pivoting of the segments. The structure according to the invention with a two-part segment jacket and a plastic carrier tape carrying a seal, which is arranged in each case on the end faces of the segments, enables the use of a rational manufacturing process, the segment cavity preferably being foamed with a PUR foam system.

A hinged joint for a covering consisting of several segments (1, 2) that are pivotable relative to each other, in particular a covering movable over a curved path, as, for example, a door, a gate, a window etc., by means of which the covering is subdivided into segments (1, 2) which are pivotable relative to each other round the hinge pin (3) of the hinged joint and which have end faces (4, 5) lying opposite each other in the closed position of the covering, wherein one (5) of the end faces has a convex curvature and the hinge pin (3) is arranged in the zone of a side face, preferably of the inner side, and at a distance from this end face (5), and the other (4) of the end faces has a concave shape and extends to the convex end face (5) with its edge zone (7) adjoining the other side face when the covering is in its closed position, in such a way that as the segments (1, 2) are pivoted, the gap (d) existing between the two end faces does not exceed a maximum gap width,
    characterized in that
    along the two end faces (4, 5) of adjoining segments (1, 2) there are fixed several two-armed hinges (11) at a lateral distance, and that near the hinge pin (3) of each hinge (11) belonging to the hinged joint, provision is made for cover wings (12) which close off to the outside the wedge-shaped space (6) occurring at the hinge pin (3) in the axial direction of the hinge pin when the segments (1, 2) are pivoted towards each other.
  2. A hinged joint according to claim 1,
    characterized in that
    the convex end faces (5) of the one segment (2) have an approximately cylindrical curvature, the axis of the cylinder lying at least near the hinge pin (3).
  3. A hinged joint according to claim 2,
    characterized in that
    the radius of curvature of the convex end face (5) of the one segment (2) corresponds at least to the distance between the hinge pin (3) and the outer side of this segment.
  4. A hinged joint according to claim 1,
    characterized in that
    the concave and convex end faces (4, 5) are concentric surfaces.
  5. A hinged joint according to one of the preceding claims,
    characterized in that
    the cover wing (12) is circular segment-shaped (φ).
  6. A hinged joint according to one of the preceding claims,
    characterized in that
    the centre angle (φ) of the cover wing (12) is matched to the maximum pivoting angle of the segments (1, 2).
  7. A hinged joint according to one of the preceding claims,
    characterized in that
    the hinged joint has short hinge arms (10) which fix the hinge pin (3) on the segment (2) and a long hinge arm (9) which carries the other segment (1).
  8. A hinged joint according to one of the preceding claims,
    characterized in that
    the cover wings (12) are arranged between the short hinge arm (10) and the long hinge arm.
