Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schwenkschiebetür nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. Derartige Türen sind aus der FR-A-2 443 553 der Anmelderin bekannt und haben sich im wesentlichen bewährt.The invention relates to a pivoting sliding door according to the preamble of claim 1. Such doors are known from FR-A-2 443 553 by the applicant and have essentially proven themselves.

Eine andere Art von Schiebetüre ist aus der FR-A-997 335 bekannt. Dabei dient entweder der Öffnungsmechanismus auch als Tragelement oder die gebogenen Führungsschienen, die die Ausstellbewegung sichern, übernehmen auch das Türgewicht. Zufolge der speziellen Kinematik erlaubt es dieses System, zwischen der Türe und dem Antrieb - Schlitten gibt es ja nicht - eine Kuppelstange vorzusehen.Another type of sliding door is known from FR-A-997 335. Either the opening mechanism also serves as a support element or the curved guide rails that secure the opening movement also take on the door weight. Due to the special kinematics, this system allows a coupling rod to be provided between the door and the drive - there are no sledges.

Aus der EP-A 0 349 525 ist ein Übertragungselement zwischen Linearantrieb und Schlitten bekannt geworden, das aus zwei Teilen besteht, von denen der eine am Triebansatz des Linearantriebes und der andere Teil am Schlitten angeordnet ist. Einer der Teile weist eine U-förmige Nut auf, in die der andere Teil mittels einer Rippe eingreift. Die beiden Teile sind in einer Ebene gegeneinander verschiebbar, die senkrecht auf den Linearantrieb steht.From EP-A 0 349 525 a transmission element between linear drive and slide has become known, which consists of two parts, one of which is arranged on the drive attachment of the linear drive and the other part on the slide. One of the parts has a U-shaped groove in which the other part engages by means of a rib. The two parts can be moved against each other in a plane that is perpendicular to the linear drive.

Der Nachteil dieses Übertragungselementes besteht vor allem darin, daß die Führungsflächen von Nut und Rippe einer stärkeren Abnützung unterworfen sind und es zu Klopfgeräuschen bei geschlossener Tür kommt. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist die umständliche Einstellung der Lage von Türblatt und Linearantrieb.The main disadvantage of this transmission element is that the guide surfaces of the groove and rib are subject to greater wear and there is knocking noise when the door is closed. Another disadvantage is the awkward adjustment of the position of the door leaf and linear drive.

Die Erfindung bezweckt die Schwenkschiebetür nach dem Stand der Technik kompakt auszubilden, was durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruches 1 erreicht wird.The invention aims to make the pivoting sliding door compact according to the prior art, which is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

In der Zeichnung ist der Gegenstand der Erfindung in einer beispielsweisen Ausführungsform dargestellt. Es zeigen die Fig. 1 einen Querschnitt, die Fig. 2 eine Längsansicht des Türantriebes und die Fig. 3 die Lage des das Türblatt tragenden Schlittens in seinen Endstellungen.In the Drawing is the subject of the invention shown in an exemplary embodiment. 1 shows a cross section, FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal view of the door drive and FIG. 3 shows the position of the carriage carrying the door leaf in its end positions.

Auf einer Tragschiene 1 ist gleitend und schwenkbar ein Schlitten 2 angeordnet, der an seinem einen Ende einen Lenker 3 trägt. An seinem anderen Ende ist ein weiterer Lenker 4 vorgesehen, der einen Zapfen 5 aufweist, welcher an einer am Schlitten 2 befestigten Hülse 6 einsteckbar ist und mittels Schrauben festlegbar ist. Zwischen den Lenkern 3 und 4 ist ein Holm 7 angeordnet, der an den Enden der Lenker 3 und 4 mittels Gelenklager gelagert ist. Mit dem Holm 7 ist eine Konsole 8 verschweißt, die am Türblatt 9 angeschraubt ist. Die Konsole weist einen Vorsprung 10 auf, auf dem stirnseitig eine Rolle 11 gelagert ist, die in der Türführung 12 läuft. Das Türblatt 9 ist an seinem unteren Ende in analoger Weise geführt. Parallel zur Tragschiene 1 ist ein Linearantrieb 13 angeordnet, der einen axial beweglichen Triebansatz 14 aufweist.On a mounting rail 1 a slide 2 is slidably and pivotably mounted, which carries a handlebar 3 at one end. At its other end a further link 4 is provided which has a pin 5 which can be inserted into a sleeve 6 fastened to the slide 2 and can be fixed by means of screws. Between the links 3 and 4, a spar 7 is arranged, which is mounted at the ends of the links 3 and 4 by means of spherical bearings. A bracket 8 is welded to the spar 7 and is screwed to the door leaf 9. The console has a projection 10, on the end of which a roller 11 is mounted, which runs in the door guide 12. The door leaf 9 is guided in an analogous manner at its lower end. A linear drive 13 is arranged parallel to the mounting rail 1 and has an axially movable drive attachment 14.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist der Triebansatz 14 mit dem Schlitten 2 durch eine Kuppelstange 15 verbunden, an deren Enden sich Kugelgelenke 16,17 befinden. Die Kugelköpfe 18 und 19 sitzen am Schlitten 2 bzw. am Triebansatz 14. Die Kuppelstange 15 weist an ihren Stirnseiten Innenschraubgewinde auf, von denen das eine links- und das andere rechtsgängig ist. Dementsprechend sind die Kugelgelenksteile mit links- und rechtsgängigen Außengewinden versehen. Der Abstand zwischen den Kugelgelenken 16,17 kann somit durch Drehen der Kuppelstange 15 vergrößert oder verkleinert werden. In der gewünschten Endlage werden sie durch Kontermuttern 20 gesichert. In Fig. 1 ist die Kuppelstange zur Verbesserung der Übersichtlichkeit nicht dargestellt. Die Kuppelstange 15 ist in der Geschlossenstellung parallel zum Linearantrieb 13 ist, wie dies die Fig. 3 zeigt (linke Seite). In der Öffnungslage ist die Kuppelstange 15 gegenüber dem Linearantrieb 13 verschwenkt.According to the invention, the drive attachment 14 is connected to the carriage 2 by a coupling rod 15, at the ends of which there are ball joints 16, 17. The ball heads 18 and 19 are seated on the slide 2 and on the drive shoulder 14. The coupling rod 15 has internal screw threads on its end faces, one of which is left-handed and the other right-handed. Accordingly, the ball joint parts are provided with left and right hand external threads. The distance between the ball joints 16, 17 can thus be increased or decreased by rotating the coupling rod 15. In the desired end position, they are secured by lock nuts 20. In Fig. 1 the coupling rod is not shown to improve clarity. The coupling rod 15 is parallel to the linear drive in the closed position 13 is, as shown in Fig. 3 (left side). In the open position, the coupling rod 15 is pivoted relative to the linear drive 13.

Das neue Bewegungsübertragungselement ist spielfrei, weist praktisch keine Abnützung auf und bedarf keiner ständigen Wartung. Die Einstellung der Lage zwischen dem Schlitten 2 und dem Linearantrieb 13 kann in einfacher Weise durch Drehen der Kuppelstange 15 eingestellt werden. Darüberhinaus ist die Herstellung vereinfacht und daher billiger. Durch die Erfindung ist es möglich, eine optimale Dämpfung zum Abbremsen der Tür in den Endlagen im Linearantrieb zu erreichen, weil eine höhere Kompression erzielt werden kann.The new motion transmission element is free of play, has practically no wear and does not require constant maintenance. The setting of the position between the carriage 2 and the linear drive 13 can be adjusted in a simple manner by rotating the coupling rod 15. In addition, the production is simplified and therefore cheaper. The invention makes it possible to achieve optimal damping for braking the door in the end positions in the linear drive, because a higher compression can be achieved.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So kann die Einstellung des Abstandes der Kugelgelenke 16,17 auch in anderer Weise als in der gezeigten vorgenommen werden. Die Lage der Kuppelstange 15 kann von der dargestellten abweichen. Die Erfindung kann auch bei Schwenkschiebetüren angewendet werden, bei denen die Tragschiene nicht wie beschrieben ortsfest, sondern quer zur Längsachse bewegbar ist, um ein Ausschwenken des Türblattes zu erreichen. Auch kann diese Ausschwenkbewegung durch Verschwenken des Schlittens mittels eines Arbeitszylinders bewirkt werden. Beim dargestellten Beispiel erfüllt die Türführung 12 diese Aufgabe.The invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiment shown. Thus, the distance between the ball joints 16, 17 can also be adjusted in a different way than that shown. The position of the coupling rod 15 may differ from that shown. The invention can also be applied to pivoting sliding doors in which the mounting rail is not stationary as described, but rather can be moved transversely to the longitudinal axis in order to pivot the door leaf out. This pivoting movement can also be brought about by pivoting the slide by means of a working cylinder. In the example shown, the door guide 12 fulfills this task.
