Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine versetzbare Trennwand mit mehreren plattenförmigen Wandelementen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a removable partition with several plate-shaped wall elements according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE-A-24 04 875 und der DE-A-26 43 905 sind bereits Wandelemente bekanntgeworden, die über einen motorischen Antrieb verfügen. Der Antrieb erfolgt hier über Zahnräder mit vertikaler Achse, die mit an Deckenleisten angebrachten Zahnstangen oder Ketten kämmen. Nachteilig ist bei diesen Konstruktionen, daß sich die Wandelemente immer nur linear längs der vorgesehenen Zahnstangen bzw. Ketten bewegen können. Darüber hinaus muß entlang der gesamten Laufschienen-Anlage ein Antriebselement, nämlich eine Zahnstange bzw. eine Kette, vorgesehen werden. Ferner sind bei diesen Trennwänden die Antriebe innerhalb der Wandelemente angeordnet.From DE-A-24 04 875 and DE-A-26 43 905 wall elements have already become known which have a motor drive. The drive takes place here via gearwheels with a vertical axis, which mesh with toothed racks or chains attached to ceiling strips. A disadvantage of these designs is that the wall elements can only move linearly along the intended racks or chains. In addition, a drive element, namely a rack or a chain, must be provided along the entire track system. Furthermore, the drives are arranged within the wall elements in these partition walls.

Durch die DE-C-1 036 105 sind Schiebetüren bzw. Schiebefenster bekanntgeworden, bei denen eine Laufrolle direkt angetrieben ist. Derartige Schiebetüren werden in der Praxis als Automatiktüren eingesetzt. Aufgrund dieses speziellen Einsatzgebietes sind die Verschiebewege der Türen kurz. Sie entsprechen maximal der Breite der zu verschließenden Türöffnung. Ein solcher Antrieb ist deshalb für Wandelemente versetzbarer Trennwände ungeeignet. Der Antrieb befindet sich innerhalb der Schiebetür bzw. des Schiebefensters. Dadurch sind auch hier spezielle Schiebetüren bzw. -fenster erforderlich.DE-C-1 036 105 sliding doors or sliding windows are known in which a roller is driven directly. Such sliding doors are used in practice as automatic doors. Due to this special area of application, the sliding distances of the doors are short. They correspond to a maximum of the width of the door opening to be closed. Such a drive is therefore unsuitable for removable partition walls. The drive is located inside the sliding door or the sliding window. As a result, special sliding doors and windows are also required here.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfach und kostengünstig herstellbare Trennwand mit mehreren plattenförmigen Wandelementen vorzuschlagen, bei denen die Antriebselemente allein den Wandelementen zugeordnet sind und die jede beliebige Laufschienenabzweigung passieren können.The invention has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive to produce partition with several plate-shaped wall elements, in which the drive elements are assigned only to the wall elements and which can pass any rail branch.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Durch die direkt angetriebenen Laufwagen können die erfindungsgemäßen Wandelemente mit herkömmlichen Deckenschienen verwendet werden. Die Laufwagen sind entlang der Deckenschienen frei bewegbar und können jede beliebige Abzweigung passieren. Dadurch, daß der Antrieb direkt an dem jeweils angetriebenen Laufwagen angebracht ist und auch die Stromversorgung über diesen Laufwagen erfolgt, können normale Standard-Wandelemente verwendet werden, wie sie auch für Trennwände mit nicht angetriebenen Wandelementen eingesetzt werden.According to the invention the object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Due to the directly driven carriage, the wall elements according to the invention can be used with conventional ceiling rails. The carriages can move freely along the ceiling rails and can pass any junction. Because the drive is attached directly to the driven carriage and the power is supplied via this carriage, normal standard wall elements can be used, as are also used for partitions with non-driven wall elements.

Vorzugsweise weist der Laufwagen zwei hintereinanderliegende Laufradpaare auf, wobei beide Laufradpaare angetrieben sind. Der Antrieb erfolgt dabei über den dem angetriebenen Laufwagen zugeordneten Antriebsmotor mit einem Getriebe. Es sind somit alle Laufräder des angetriebenen Laufwagens angetrieben, so daß eine gute und gleichmäßige Kraftübertragung von den Laufrädern auf die Tragschiene gegeben ist.The carriage preferably has two pairs of impellers one behind the other, both pairs of impellers being driven. The drive takes place via the drive motor assigned to the driven carriage with a gear. All the wheels of the driven carriage are thus driven, so that there is good and uniform power transmission from the wheels to the mounting rail.

Weiterhin ist eine quer zur Bewegungsrichtung erfolgende Führung mindestens des angetriebenen Laufwagens in der Tragschiene vorgesehen, wodurch das exakte Verfahren der Wandelemente entlang der gesamten Tragschiene mit geringem technischen Aufwand erfolgen kann. Vorzugsweise erfolgt diese Führung des Laufwagens oder der Laufwagen in einem Längsschlitz der Tragschiene. Eine solche Führung läßt sich besonders einfach ohne großen baulichen Aufwand realisieren.Furthermore, at least the driven carriage is guided in the mounting rail transversely to the direction of movement, so that the exact movement of the wall elements along the entire mounting rail is minimal technical effort can be made. This guidance of the carriage or the carriage is preferably carried out in a longitudinal slot of the mounting rail. Such a guide can be implemented particularly easily without great structural effort.

Die präzise Führung des angetriebenen Laufwagens ist ohne nennenswerten Energieverlust dadurch möglich, daß die Laufwagen mittels ihnen zugeordneter Führungsrollen im Längsschlitz der Tragschiene geführt werden.The precise guidance of the driven carriage is possible without any significant loss of energy in that the carriages are guided in the longitudinal slot of the mounting rail by means of guide rollers assigned to them.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung und deren Vorteile ergeben sich aus den übrigen Unteransprüchen und der Beschreibung.Further features of the invention and their advantages result from the remaining subclaims and the description.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung soll nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert werden. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

A preferred embodiment of the invention will be explained below with reference to the drawing. The drawing shows:
Fig. 1
schematically and partially a perspective view of a wall element of the removable partition,
Fig. 2
a front view of a drive of the wall element of FIG. 1, enlarged and partially in section, and
Fig. 3
a side view of the drive of FIG. 2, partially sectioned.

In der Fig. 1 ist ein Wandelement 11 dargestellt. Mehrere vorzugsweise gleiche Wandelemente 11 bilden eine Trennwand 10. Die Trennwand 10 ist versetzbar durch ein Verfahren der Wandelemente 11. Zur Bildung einer geschlossenen Trennwand 10 sind Längskanten 12 der Wandelemente 11 korrespondierend ausgebildet, wobei den Längskanten 12 wie auch Querkanten 13 Dichtungselemente zugeordnet sein können, die zum einen der Fixierung und zum anderen der Wärme- und Schallisolierung der Trennwand 10 dienen.1 shows a wall element 11. A plurality of preferably identical wall elements 11 form a partition wall 10. The partition wall 10 can be displaced by moving the wall elements 11. To form a closed partition wall 10, longitudinal edges 12 of the wall elements 11 have a corresponding design, with the longitudinal edges 12 as well as the transverse edges 13 being assigned sealing elements. which serve on the one hand for fixing and on the other hand for heat and sound insulation of the partition 10.

Jedes Wandelement 11 hängt verfahrbar unter einer Tragschiene. Dazu ist das Wandelement 11 im Bereich der oberen Querkante 13 mit zwei Laufwagen 14 versehen. Die Laufwagen 14 weisen einen gegenseitigen Abstand auf, derart, daß die Laufwagen 14 sich jeweils nahe der beiden Längskanten 12 des Wandelements 11 befinden.Each wall element 11 is movably suspended under a mounting rail. For this purpose, the wall element 11 is provided with two carriages 14 in the region of the upper transverse edge 13. The carriages 14 are spaced from one another in such a way that the carriages 14 are each located near the two longitudinal edges 12 of the wall element 11.

Die Laufwagen 14 sind innerhalb der ortsfesten Tragschiene, die hier als Deckenschiene 15 ausgebildet ist, verfahrbar. Jeder Laufwagen 14 weist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel vier Laufräder 22 auf. Diese sind zu zwei in Längsrichtung hintereinanderliegenden Laufradpaaren 21 gruppiert. Zwei parallele Laufräder 22 sind dazu jeweils fest mit einer mittigen Achse 26 miteinander verbunden.The carriages 14 can be moved within the fixed mounting rail, which is designed here as a ceiling rail 15. In the exemplary embodiment shown, each carriage 14 has four running wheels 22. These are grouped into two impeller pairs 21 lying one behind the other in the longitudinal direction. For this purpose, two parallel impellers 22 are each firmly connected to one another with a central axis 26.

Erfindungsgemäß ist mindestens einer der beiden Laufwagen 14 jedes Wandelements 11 mit einem eigenen, selbständigen Antrieb 16 versehen. Wenn die Wandelemente 11 große Abmessungen und Maße aufweisen, können beide Laufwagen 14 angetrieben sein.According to the invention, at least one of the two carriages 14 of each wall element 11 is provided with its own, independent drive 16. If the wall elements 11 have large dimensions and dimensions, both carriages 14 can be driven.

Der Antrieb 16 ist dem entsprechenden Laufwagen 14 direkt bzw. unmittelbar zugeordnet und jeweils hauptsächlich durch einen Antriebsmotor, insbesondere einen E-Motor 17, und ein mit diesem in Wirkverbindung stehendes Getriebe, vorzugsweise ein Planetengetriebe 18, gebildet. Die Wirkverbindung zwischen dem E-Motor 17 und dem Planetengetriebe 18 ist durch einen Riementrieb 19 gegeben. Das Planetengetriebe 18 wiederum ist über einen Zahnradtrieb, der in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt ist, mit beiden Wellen 20 verbunden. Dadurch werden alle vier Laufräder 22 des jeweiligen Laufwagens 14 angetrieben, wodurch ein reibungsloses Durchfahren von Abzweigungen der Deckenschiene 15 gewährleistet ist. Alternativ kann es ausreichend sein, nur eine Welle 20 mit zwei Laufrädern 22 anzutreiben.The drive 16 is directly or directly assigned to the corresponding carriage 14 and in each case is mainly formed by a drive motor, in particular an electric motor 17, and a gear, preferably a planetary gear 18, which is operatively connected to it. The operative connection between the electric motor 17 and the planetary gear 18 is provided by a belt drive 19. The planetary gear 18 in turn is connected to both shafts 20 via a gear drive, which is not shown in the drawing. As a result, all four wheels 22 of the respective carriage 14 are driven, which ensures smooth passage of branches of the ceiling rail 15. Alternatively, it may be sufficient to drive only one shaft 20 with two impellers 22.

Die Deckenschiene 15 verfügt über ein kastenförmiges (geschlossenes) Profil. Ihre untere Wandung ist etwa mittig geteilt durch einen sich in Längsrichtung der Deckenschiene 15 erstreckenden Längsschlitz 25. Der Längsschlitz 25 ist in einem dem Wandelement 11 zugewandten Bereich der Deckenschiene 15 angeordnet, nämlich an der unteren horizontalen Wandung. Die an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Längsschlitzes 25 sich befindenden Teilabschnitte der unteren Wandung der Deckenschiene 15 bilden zwei Laufbahnen 24 für die Laufräder 22 der Laufwagen 14. Bei einer hier nicht gezeigten vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Deckenschiene 15 aus zwei Teilprofilen zusammengesetzt. Diese verfügen jeweils über ein etwa C-förmiges Profil. Die beiden gleichen Profile sind spiegelverkehrt mit Abstand nebeneinanderliegend angeordnet, so daß hierdurch der Längsschlitz 25 gebildet wird. Zwangsläufig entsteht auch an der oberen Wandung der Deckenschiene 15 ein Längsschlitz, der dazu benutzt werden kann, die beiden C-förmigen Teilprofile miteinander zu verbinden und/oder unter einer Decke zu befestigen.The ceiling rail 15 has a box-shaped (closed) profile. Its lower wall is divided approximately in the middle by a longitudinal slot 25 which extends in the longitudinal direction of the ceiling rail 15. The longitudinal slot 25 is arranged in a region of the ceiling rail 15 facing the wall element 11, namely on the lower horizontal wall. The partial sections of the lower wall of the ceiling rail 15 located on opposite sides of the longitudinal slot 25 form two raceways 24 for the wheels 22 of the carriages 14. In an advantageous development of the invention, not shown here, the ceiling rail 15 is composed of two partial profiles. These each have an approximately C-shaped profile. The two identical profiles are arranged mirror-inverted at a distance from one another, so that the longitudinal slot 25 is thereby formed. Inevitably, a longitudinal slot is also formed on the upper wall of the ceiling rail 15, which can be used to connect the two C-shaped partial profiles to one another and / or to fasten them under a ceiling.

Erfindungsgemäß sind die Laufwagen 14 in horizontaler Richtung in der Deckenschiene 15 geführt. Dazu ist jeder Laufwagen 14 mit mindestens einem Führungsorgan versehen, das im Längsschlitz 25 der Deckenschiene 15 die Laufwagen 14 quer zu ihrer Laufrichtung führt. Vorzugsweise weist jeder Laufwagen 14 mehrere Führungsorgane auf. Im hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind etwa mittig zwischen den beiden Laufrädern 22 der Wellen 20 in Laufrichtung des Laufwagens 14 hintereinanderliegend zwei Führungsrollen 23 angeordnet. Diese erstrecken sich in Längsrichtung vom vorderen bzw. hinteren Bereich des Laufwagens 14 und weisen einen gegenseitigen Abstand auf, der eine exakte Führung des Laufwagens 14 ermöglicht. Die Führungsrollen 23 erstrecken sich in Richtung des angehängten Wandelements 11 über die Laufbahnen 24 der Deckenschiene 15 hinaus. Die Führungsrollen 23 reichen in den Längsschlitz 25 zwischen den Laufbahnen 24 hinein. Die Wellen 20 der Laufräder 22 und Achsen 26 der Führungsrollen 23 verlaufen somit senkrecht zueinander. Der Durchmesser der Führungsrollen 23 und die Breite des Längsschlitzes 25 sind so bemessen, daß eine spiel- und reibungsarme Führung der Führungsrollen 23 innerhalb des Längsschlitzes 25 und damit exakte Führung der Laufwagen 14 stets gegeben ist.According to the carriage 14 are guided in the horizontal direction in the ceiling rail 15. For this purpose, each carriage 14 is provided with at least one guide element which guides the carriage 14 in the longitudinal slot 25 of the ceiling rail 15 transversely to their running direction. Each carriage 14 preferably has a plurality of guide members. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, two guide rollers 23 are arranged approximately centrally between the two wheels 22 of the shafts 20 in the running direction of the carriage 14. These extend in the longitudinal direction from the front or rear region of the carriage 14 and are at a mutual distance which enables the carriage 14 to be guided exactly. The guide rollers 23 extend in the direction of the attached wall element 11 beyond the raceways 24 of the ceiling rail 15. The guide rollers 23 extend into the longitudinal slot 25 between the raceways 24. The shafts 20 of the wheels 22 and axes 26 of the Guide rollers 23 thus run perpendicular to each other. The diameter of the guide rollers 23 and the width of the longitudinal slot 25 are dimensioned such that the guide rollers 23 are guided with little play and with little friction within the longitudinal slot 25 and thus exact guidance of the carriage 14 is always provided.

Durch den Längsschlitz 25 zwischen den Laufbahnen 24 der Deckenschiene 15 erstreckt sich auch ein Aufhängebolzen 27, mit dem jeder Laufwagen 14 an das Wandelement 11 angehängt ist. Der Aufhängebolzen 27 ist vorzugsweise mittig zwischen den Wellen 20 angeordnet, wodurch die Laufradpaare 21 gleichmäßig belastet sind.A suspension bolt 27 also extends through the longitudinal slot 25 between the raceways 24 of the ceiling rail 15, by means of which each carriage 14 is attached to the wall element 11. The suspension bolt 27 is preferably arranged centrally between the shafts 20, as a result of which the pairs of impellers 21 are evenly loaded.

Durch den Längsschlitz 25 hindurch erstrecken sich vom Laufwagen 14 zum Wandelement 11 ferner zwei Anschlußkabel 28 zur Stromversorgung von Betätigungsmechanismen im jeweiligen Wandelement 11. Beispielsweise kann es sich um Betätigungsmechanismen für eine Bodendichtleiste 34 handeln. Je eines der Anschlußkabel 28 ist durch eine der als Hohlachsen ausgebildeten Achsen 26 der Führungsrollen 23 hindurchgeführt. Hierdurch wird die gegenseitige Berührung der Wandung des Längsschlitzes 25 und der Anschlußkabel 28 ausgeschlossen, was infolge des Verfahrens der Laufwagen 14 entlang des Längsschlitzes 25 schnell zu einer Beschädigung der Anschlußkabel 28 führen könnte.Two connecting cables 28 for the power supply of actuation mechanisms in the respective wall element 11 also extend through the longitudinal slot 25 from the carriage 14 to the wall element 11. For example, actuation mechanisms for a floor sealing strip 34 can be involved. One of the connecting cables 28 is passed through one of the axes 26 of the guide rollers 23 designed as hollow axes. As a result, the mutual contact of the wall of the longitudinal slot 25 and the connecting cable 28 is excluded, which could quickly lead to damage to the connecting cable 28 due to the method of the carriage 14 along the longitudinal slot 25.

Den Laufwagen 14 ist in Laufrichtung zumindest auf der Seite, die zu einem der benachbarten Wandelemente 11 hinweist, jeweils ein Endschalter 29 zugeordnet. Die Endschalter 29 dienen dazu, den Antrieb 16 der Laufwagen 14 zwangsweise so rechtzeitig auszuschalten, daß eine Beschädigung der Wandelemente 11 infolge einer Kollision benachbarter Wandelemente 11 ausgeschlossen ist.A limit switch 29 is assigned to the carriage 14 in the running direction at least on the side that points to one of the adjacent wall elements 11. The limit switches 29 are used to forcibly switch off the drive 16 of the carriage 14 in such a time that damage to the wall elements 11 as a result of a collision of adjacent wall elements 11 is excluded.

Auf einer im wesentlichen horizontal angeordneten Traverse 32 sind auf vertikalen Achsen Programmerrollen 33 angeordnet. Diese sind derart positioniert, daß sie den Laufwagen 14 an seinen äußeren seitlichen Eckpunkten begrenzen. Dabei sind jeweils zwei der Programmerrollen 33 in Laufrichtung des Laufwagens 14 seitlich von der Traverse 32 nach unten weisend angeordnet, während die beiden Programmerrollen 33 auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite nach oben gerichtet sind. Die Programmerrollen 33 dienen zur gezielten Steuerung der Wandelemente 11 an Abzweigungen, Kreuzungen oder dergleichen der Deckenschiene 15.Programmer rollers 33 are arranged on vertical axes on an essentially horizontally arranged traverse 32. These are positioned so that they are the carriage 14 limit at its outer lateral corner points. In this case, two of the programmer rollers 33 are arranged laterally in the running direction of the carriage 14, facing downward from the cross member 32, while the two programmer rollers 33 are directed upward on the opposite side. The programmer rollers 33 are used for the targeted control of the wall elements 11 at branches, crossings or the like of the ceiling rail 15.

Schließlich ist jedem der angetriebenen Laufwagen 14 ein Stromabnehmer 30 zugeordnet, der in Wirkverbindung mit einer Stromschiene 31 der Deckenschiene 15 steht, nämlich in dieser entlanggleitet. Dabei ist der Stromabnehmer 30 vorzugsweise auf der den Laufrädern 22 abgewandten oberen Seite des Laufwagens 14 und die Stromschiene 31 auf der Innenseite der oberen Wandung der Deckenschiene 15 angeordnet. Da sich die Stromschiene 31 entlang der gesamten Deckenschiene 15 erstreckt, können die angetriebenen Laufwagen 14 beliebig verfahren werden. Stromversorgungskabel, die beim Aufbau der Trennwände 10 sehr hinderlich wären, sind nicht erforderlich.Finally, each of the driven carriages 14 is assigned a current collector 30, which is operatively connected to a current rail 31 of the ceiling rail 15, namely it slides along it. The current collector 30 is preferably arranged on the upper side of the carriage 14 facing away from the running wheels 22 and the busbar 31 on the inside of the upper wall of the ceiling rail 15. Since the busbar 31 extends along the entire ceiling rail 15, the driven carriages 14 can be moved as desired. Power supply cables, which would be very cumbersome in the construction of the partition walls 10, are not required.
