Definitions

  • the invention relates to a travel rail arrangement with at least one travel rail for movable partition elements with at least one switch which can be switched between at least two further travel rail branches.
  • Such a travel rail arrangement is known and is used for the most diverse applications of movable partition elements.
  • the individual partition elements are arranged along the corresponding rail section and are coupled to one another at the end.
  • the partition elements are moved into a remote magazine in which they are arranged with their broad sides next to each other in a 'package shape'.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the rail arrangement of the type mentioned in such a way that the partition elements can be moved into the parking magazine more easily.
  • This object is achieved in that a control device is provided in the running rail arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset, which switches over the switch to another running rail branch after a section of a partition element has been moved into one running rail branch.
  • the switch which is automatically controlled according to the invention takes over the transition of the partition wall elements from one main running rail to two running rail branches which lead into the magazine and preferably run parallel to one another.
  • the switch is switched according to the invention to a second rail branch, so that a second section, preferably a second roller carriage, of the partition element is automatically and safely guided into the second rail branch.
  • the travel rail arrangement according to the invention can also be used advantageously for other applications in which a successive switching of the switch between two or more travel rail branches is desired.
  • the control device preferably has detector means which detect a specific section of a partition element in each rail branch and an actuating means which is controlled by the detector means and correspondingly switches the switch.
  • the detector means preferably detect at least some of the roller carriages. If the travel rail is designed with at least one guide section, which is preferably designed as a groove, and the roller carriages are provided with guide rollers guided in the guide section, the detector means should in particular detect the lateral guide rollers of the roller carriages.
  • the detector means can preferably have a swivel tab on each rail branch of a switchable switch which can be pivoted by a partition element passing by from a first position, in which it projects transversely into the rail branch, to a second position, in which it extends in the longitudinal direction of the rail branch extends.
  • Swivel brackets from adjacent rail branches of a switchable switch are coupled to one another in such a way that the swivel movement of one swivel bracket from the first to the second position caused by a passing partition element triggers an opposite swivel movement of the other swivel bracket from the second to the first position.
  • the actuating device is coupled to the swivel brackets in such a way that it always switches the switch to the continuing rail branch on which the associated swivel bracket is pivoted into the first position.
  • Such an embodiment is structurally particularly simple and can therefore be implemented without great effort.
  • a linkage could expediently be provided for the coupling.
  • the switch preferably has a tongue which is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis for switching the switch between the rail branches.
  • the tongue should be arranged in the guide section and should be switchable between the guide sections of the rail branches if the guide section is solely responsible for guiding the roller carriage in the rail arrangement.
  • a partition element 1 is shown schematically, which comprises a partition element sheet 2, which usually consists of a metal frame and two cover plates attached to both sides of this.
  • a partition wall element sheet 2 On the top 4 of the partition wall element sheet 2 support bolts 6 are fastened, which are rotatably mounted on roller carriages 10 to be described in more detail below.
  • the roller carriages 10 run on the underside 20a of the treads of a rail 20, also to be described in more detail, which has a longitudinal center slot through which the support bolts 6 are guided, the treads of the rail 20 formed by the underside 20a being provided on both sides of the center slot are.
  • Each partition wall element usually has two roller carriages 10, each with a support pin 6 rotatably mounted thereon.
  • the travel rail 20 consists of a hollow profile with a lower part 20a, which - as already mentioned above - forms the running surfaces for the roller carriages 10, and with an upper part 20b, which closes the travel rail 20 at the top, as shown in FIG.
  • FIG. 2 which shows a top view of the running surface of the lower part 20a of a longitudinally sectioned rail arrangement 20, the central slot 24 can be seen, which divides the lower part 20a in the middle into two halves and through which the supporting bolt 6 extends (see FIG.
  • the roller carriage 10 has at least four rollers 11, 12, 13 and 14 which rest on the inside of the lower part 20a of the running rail arrangement 20 which forms the tread (see in this regard FIG. 1). Furthermore, 10 guide rollers are arranged on the upper side 10a of the roller carriage, the axis of rotation of which does not run horizontally, as in the case of the rollers 11 to 14, but rather vertically, so that the guide rollers 15 are mounted lying on the upper side 10a of the roller carriage 10. Usually, two guide rollers 15, one behind the other in the running direction, are provided on the top 10a of the roller carriages 10, both of which engage together in one of the two guide grooves 25, 26 formed on the upper part 20b of the rail arrangement 20. In the illustration shown in FIG.
  • the visible guide roller 15 (as well as a further guide roller lying directly behind it) engages in the guide groove 25.
  • the engagement of the guide rollers 15 in one of the two guide grooves 25, 26 has the result that the roller carriages 10 are positively guided in the travel rail arrangement 20 along a predetermined path, as will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 4.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows a part of a preferred embodiment of the rail arrangement 20 which connects a main rail, not shown, to two parking magazines, also not shown.
  • the partition elements are moved in the direction of their narrow or end faces and are arranged at a desired location in the operating position for the construction of a partition so that the narrow or end faces of two adjacent partition elements touch each other.
  • the partition elements are stored or packaged next to one another, ie with their broad sides opposite one another.
  • the parking magazines each have two parallel secondary rails which branch off from the main rail, as a result of which the partition wall elements are subjected to a change in their direction of movement, namely from a movement in the longitudinal direction to a movement in the transverse direction. Only in this way is it possible To package partition elements in the above-mentioned manner in the parking magazines side by side. While all the roller carriages 10 of a partition element 1 - usually each partition element 1 is provided with two roller carriages 10, as shown in FIG.
  • one roller carriage is transported onto the one secondary driving rail and the other when the partition elements are transported into the respective parking magazine Roller carriage transferred to the other side rail, whereby the partition element in the parking magazine is movable in the direction transverse to its longitudinal extent.
  • the section of a travel rail arrangement 20 shown in FIG. 2 comprises a first straight section 31, with which the illustrated travel rail section is connected to the aforementioned main travel rail.
  • This first straight section 31 is followed by a first switchable switch 32 which is split up into a first branch 32 'and a second branch 32' '.
  • the first guide groove 25 is divided into a guide groove 25 'in the first branch 32' and a guide groove 25 '' in the second branch 32 '' and is accordingly switched over optionally.
  • the second guide groove 26, which runs on the other side of the central slot 24, is continued only in the first branch 32 'of the switch 32, without a switchover option to the second branch 32' 'being provided.
  • the second branch 32 ′′ of the first switchable switch 32 is then adjoined by a further — in this case straight — rail section 34, which, like the second branch 32 ′′, only has the first guide groove 25 ′′.
  • a third rail section 33 is connected to the first branch 32 'of the first switch 32 and, like the first branch 32' of the switch 32, has both the first guide groove 25 'and the second guide groove 26.
  • This third track section 33 is followed by a passive switch 35, in the first branch 35 'of which the second guide groove 26 and in the second branch 35' 'of which the first guide groove 25' are continued. Accordingly, the two guide grooves 25 'and 26 are divided between the first and the second branch 35' and 35 '' of the passive switch 35 without there being a possibility of switching over to the other branch.
  • the second branch 35 ′′ of the passive switch 35 is followed by a further rail section 36 which, like the branch 35 ′′ of the passive switch 35, only has the first guide groove 25 ′.
  • a further rail section 37 which like the first branch 35 'of the passive switch 35 only contains the second guide groove 26.
  • a second switchable switch 38 is connected to this rail section 37, through which the second guide groove 26, which is still the only one remaining, is divided into a guide groove 26 'in a second branch 38' and a guide groove 26 '' in a second branch 38 '' , the second guide groove 26 being switchable between the two branches 38 'and 38''.
  • the further rail section 40 adjoining the second branch 38 ′′ of the switchable second switch 38 also only has the second guide groove 26 ′′.
  • the same also applies to the track section 39 adjoining the first branch 38 'of the switchable second switch 38, which accordingly also only has the second guide groove 26'.
