Die Aufgabe wird gemäß die im Patentanspruch 1 wiedergegebenen
Merkmalen gelöst, Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den
Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object is according to the reproduced in
Dabei wird ein Hausterminal, welches sich nicht an oder innerhalb einer Gagage befindet, sondern innerhalb eines anderen in der Nähe befindlichen Gebäudes fest installiert. Die Verbindung zwischen Hausterminal und Garagentorantrieb wird über eine Funkstrecke aufrechterhalten. So ist es möglich, dass Daten von dem Hausterminal an den Garagentorantrieb über Funk übertragen werden können, bzw. auch rückwärtig empfangen werden, um beispielsweise einen Zustandsbericht über das derzeitige Verhalten des Garagentorantriebes mit dem daran angeschlossenen Garagentor zu erhalten.A home terminal that is not located on or within a Gagage is located, but within another nearby Permanently installed in the building. The connection between the house terminal and garage door drive is maintained over a radio link. So it is possible that data from the house terminal to the garage door operator can be transmitted via radio or received backwards to, for example, a status report on the current Behavior of the garage door operator with the garage door connected to it to obtain.
Das Gehäuse des Hausterminals ist dabei so konzipiert, dass es im Wesentlichen aus einem Gehäuseunterteil und einem darauf jedoch nur teilweise überdeckenden Gehäuseoberteil besteht. In dem Bereich, wo eine Überdeckung des Gehäuseunterteiles nicht erfolgt, befindet sich eine Aufnahme für einen ortsveränderlichen Handsender. Diese Aufnahme erstreckt sich teilweise in das Gehäuseoberteil und wird durch einen Boden begrenzt. Innerhalb einer solchen Vertiefung ist es möglich, einen entsprechenden Handsender zur Betätigung des Garagentorantriebes einzusetzen. Hierdurch wird das lästige Suchen des Handsenders zum einen vermieden, bzw. es wird die Gefahr ausgeschlossen, dass durch unbeabsichtigtes Verbleiben des Handsenders innerhalb des Fahrzeuges, welches beispielsweise nicht innerhalb der Garage geparkt und aufgebrochen wird, durch eine unerlaubte Betätigung des Handsenders ein Eindringen in die Garage von unberechtigten Personen ausgeführt werden kann.The housing of the house terminal is designed so that it is in the Essentially from a lower housing part and only one on top of it partially covering upper housing part. In the area where there is no overlap of the lower housing part Holder for a portable handheld transmitter. This shot extends partially in the upper part of the housing and is covered by a floor limited. Within such a deepening it is possible to find a corresponding one Use the hand transmitter to operate the garage door operator. This makes the annoying search for the handheld transmitter on the one hand avoided or the risk is excluded that by unintentional The hand transmitter remains inside the vehicle, which for example, not parked and broken into inside the garage intrusion is caused by an illegal operation of the hand transmitter into the garage by unauthorized persons can.
Das Hausterminal ist dabei so konzipiert, dass es sowohl ohne einen eingesteckten Handsender als auch mit einem eingesteckten Handsender voll funktionsfähig ist. Bei der Version ohne eingesteckten Handsender sind innerhalb des Gehäuseoberteiles Tasten vorhanden, die eine Betätigung des Garagentores bzw. andere zusätzliche Funktionen im Garagenbereich zulassen. Dieses ist deshalb möglich, weil sich innerhalb des Hausterminal eine Sendeeinheit zur Kommunikation mit dem Garagentorantrieb befindet. Neben der vorerwähnten Tastatur können auch Anzeigeelemente vorhanden sein, die den jeweiligen Zustand, d.h. Garagentor geöffnet bzw. Garagentor geschlossen usw. anzeigen können. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich innerhalb des Gehäuses des Hausterminals auch eine Alarmanlage unterzubringen, die das unbeabsichtigte Öffnen des Garagentores sofort akustisch und/bzw. optisch anzeigen würde. Für die akustische Meldung wäre hierfür ein entsprechender Alarmgeber ebenfalls vorhanden, wobei sich im unteren Teil des Gehäuseoberteiles Durchbrüche in Form einer Lautsprecherabdeckung befinden.The home terminal is designed so that it is both plugged in Handheld transmitter as well as with an inserted handheld transmitter is fully functional. In the version without a plug-in hand transmitter there are buttons within the upper part of the housing that activate the garage door or other additional functions in the garage area allow. This is possible because within the House terminal a transmitter unit for communication with the garage door operator located. In addition to the aforementioned keyboard, display elements can also be used be present, which corresponds to the respective state, i.e. garage open or display garage door closed etc. About that it is also possible within the housing of the house terminal to house an alarm system that prevents the accidental opening of the Garage doors immediately acoustically and / or. would visually indicate. For the A corresponding alarm would also be an acoustic signal available, with openings in the lower part of the upper housing part in the form of a speaker cover.
Das Gehäuse des Hausterminals besteht im Wesentlichen aus zwei Gehäuseteilen, nämlich dem Gehäuseunterteil und dem Gehäuseoberteil. Das Gehäuseoberteil ist so gestaltet, dass es für eine Montage auf einer Wand vorbereitet ist. Das Gehäuseunterteil ist als langgestrecktes schlankes Bauteil ausgeführt, wobei jedoch die Höhe dieses Bauteiles nicht über die gesamte Länge des Gehäuseunterteiles gleich hoch ist. Vielmehr verjüngt sich zum Fuß des Gehäuseunterteiles die Höhe z.B. in Form eines großen Radius. Im oberen flachen geraden Bereich ist gleich-zeitig eine Verschlußdecke vorhanden, die die darunter befindlichen Elek-tronikkomponenten für die Steuerung bzw. Kommunikation mit dem Gara-gentorantrieb oder eine Alarmanlage abdecken. Der Bereich der Ver-schlußdecke wird teilweise von einem Gehäuseoberteil überdeckt, das auf das Gehäuseunterteil aufgesetzt wird. Das Gehäuseoberteil ist so gestaltet, daß es sich der langgestreckten Form des Gehäuseunterteiles anpaßt, was auch für die Verjüngung zutrifft. Aus optischen Gründen ist das Gehäuseoberteil mit seiner Breite etwas übergreifend gegenüber dem Gehäuseunterteil, jedoch in dem Bereich, wo Gehäuseoberteil und Gehäuseunterteil zusammenkommen, liegt die gleiche Breite vor. An den Längsseiten des Gehäuseoberteiles befindet sich eine umlaufende Schat-tenfuge, welche dem Hausterminal eine schlanke Erscheinungsform vermittelt. Dieses wird dadurch unterstützt, dass allseitig umlaufende Kanten mit einem Radius versehen sind.The housing of the in-house terminal essentially consists of two housing parts, namely the lower housing part and the upper housing part. The upper housing part is designed so that it can be mounted on a Wall is prepared. The housing base is as an elongated slim Component executed, but the height of this component does not exceed the entire length of the lower housing part is the same height. Rather rejuvenated the height e.g. at the foot of the lower part of the housing in form of large radius. At the same time there is one in the upper flat straight area Closure cover available, the electronics components underneath for control or communication with the garage door operator or cover an alarm system. The area of the closure blanket is partially covered by an upper housing part, which is on the lower housing part is put on. The upper housing part is designed so that it adapts to the elongated shape of the lower housing part, which also applies to the rejuvenation. The upper part of the housing is for optical reasons with its width somewhat overlapping the lower housing part, however, in the area where the upper housing part and lower housing part come together, is the same width. On the long sides of the upper part of the housing there is a circumferential shadow gap, which the Home terminal conveys a slim appearance. This becomes supports that all-round edges provide a radius are.
Ein solches Hausterminal kann wie vorbeschrieben bei einer Ausstattung mit einer Tastatur und Anzeigefeld autark arbeiten, es ist jedoch auch denkbar, in Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Gedankens auf die Tastatur zu verzichten und statt dessen einen der sonst üblicherweise für Garagentorantriebe verwendeten Handsender mit dem Hausterminal zusammen einzusetzen. Hierfür kann der Handsender in die vorbeschriebene Vertiefung an der Frontseite des Gehäuses eingesetzt werden. Dabei befinden sich zwischen dem Handsender und dem Hausterminal keine Steckverbindungen. Die Datenübertragung wird vielmehr induktiv vorgenommen. Somit kann aus dem inaktiven Hausterminal ein aktives Gerät in Verbindung mit dem eingesetzten Handsender werden, um entsprechend die Funktionen eines Garagentores auszuführen, nämlich durch Betätigung der Tasten, wenn der Handsender innerhalb des Hausterminals eingesetzt ist.Such a house terminal can be equipped as described above work independently with a keyboard and display panel, but it is also conceivable, in the embodiment of the inventive idea on the Keyboard and instead of one of the otherwise usual for Garage door operators used handheld transmitters together with the house terminal use. For this, the handheld transmitter can be inserted into the one described above Recess on the front of the housing. There are between the handheld transmitter and the house terminal no plug connections. Rather, data transmission becomes inductive performed. Thus, an active one can be made from the inactive house terminal Device used in conjunction with the remote control to be used accordingly perform the functions of a garage door, namely by pressing the buttons when the hand transmitter is inside the in-house terminal is used.
Darüber hinaus bietet die Einfügung des Handsenders in das Hausterminal auch einen Komfort dahingehend, dass das unnütze Suchen nach dem Handsender innerhalb des Gebäudes entfällt, wenn dieser beim Betreten automatisch in das Hausterminal eingefügt wird. Somit können z.B. alle zum Haushalt gehörenden Personen direkt auf den Handsender Zugriff nehmen.In addition, the handheld transmitter can be inserted into the in-house terminal also a comfort in that the useless search for the Handheld transmitter inside the building is not applicable if it is entered is automatically inserted into the home terminal. Thus e.g. all People belonging to the household have direct access to the handheld transmitter to take.

Das in der Figur 1 dargestellte Hausterminal 6 besteht bei dieser Ausführungsart
aus einem ortsfest an einer Wand 14 montiertem Hausterminal 6
und einem darin einsteckbaren Handsender 7. Das Hausterminal 6 zeichnet
sich im Wesentlichen als ein langgestrecktes Bauteil aus, das aus zwei
Gehäuseteilen zusammensetzt wird. Dieses sind zum einen ein Gehäuseunterteil
1 und ein Gehäuseoberteil 2. Das Gehäuseunterteil 1 wird
auf der Wand 14 mit entsprechenden Befestigungsmitteln befestigt und
beinhaltet gleichzeitig die für eine solche Kommunikation notwendigen
elektronischen Bauteile und Einrichtungen. Hierzu zählen im Wesentlichen
eine Stromversorgung, entsprechende Steuerungen mit Mikroprozessor
und Speicher sowie einen Sender bzw. Sender und Empfänger.
Darüber hinaus ist es denkbar, in ein solches Hausterminal 6 auch gleichzeitig
Komponenten für eine Alarmanlage einzubringen. Eine solche
Alarmanlage wird dann in Verbindung mit entsprechenden Meldern den
Zustand einer ordnungsgemäß verschlossenen Garage bzw. weiteren
Öffnungen der Garage melden, wobei nicht auszuschließen ist, dass eine
solche Alarmanlage auch für weitere Sicherheitseinrichtungen mit benutzt
werden kann, bzw. sie ist in der Lage einen gemeldeten Alarm auch entsprechend
weiterzugeben. Dieses kann akustisch, optisch oder aber auch
durch Funk bewerkstelligt werden.The
Das Gehäuseunterteil 1 verläuft wie die Seitenansicht der Figur 3 deutlich
macht, zu seinem Boden 11 im unteren Teil verjüngend zu. Dadurch wird
ein solches Erscheinungsbild eines Hausterminals 6 wesentlich anschaulicher.
Auf das Gehäuseunterteil 1 wird dann das Gehäuseoberteil 2 aufgesetzt,
welches der Form des Gehäuseunterteiles folgt. Das Gehäuseoberteil
2 deckt jedoch nicht den gesamten Bereich des Gehäuseunterteiles
1 ab, vielmehr ist in seinem oberen Bereich eine Verschlußdecke 13
vorhanden, die nur teilweise von dem Gehäuseoberteil 2 abgedeckt wird.
In dem Bereich, wo die Verschlußdecke 13 von dem Gehäuseoberteil 2
abgedeckt wird, befindet sich innerhalb des Gehäuseoberteiles 2 eine
Vertiefung 3 zur Aufnahme des Handsenders 7. Diese Vertiefung 3 ist
quasi als Tasche ausgebildet und beinhaltet keinerlei Steckvorrichtungen.
Die Vertiefung 3 wird durch einen Boden 12, der nach außen nicht sichtbar
ist, begrenzt.Like the side view of FIG. 3, the
Die äußeren Kanten 9 des Gehäuseoberteiles 2 sind durch Radien abgerundet.
An den Seiten des Gehäuseoberteiles 2 befindet sich eine umlaufende
Schattenfuge 10, um somit dem Hausterminal 6 ein schlankeres
Aussehen zu verleihen.The
In der nach außen sichtbaren Seite des Gehäuseoberteiles 2 sind Anzeigeelemente
4 vorhanden, die den Zustand eines Garagentores oder anderer
in Verbindung mit dem Garagentor stehenden Einrichtungen bzw. Informationen
sichtbar machen. Diese Anzeigeelemente 4 können beispielsweise
als LED's ausgeführt werden. Darüber hinaus kann im Falle
einer akustischen Wiedergabe, von beispielsweise einem Alarm oder
anderen Informationen innerhalb des Hausterminals 6 ein Signalgeber
vorhanden sein Damit die Schallwellen des Signalgebers auch sicher nach
außen austreten können, befindet sich an der Oberseite des Gehäuseoberteiles
2 ein Anzahl von Durchbrüchen 5.In the externally visible side of the
Es ist jedoch auch denkbar ein solches Hausterminal 6 nicht nur als Zustandsanzeige
zu verwenden, sondern darüber hinaus es auch neben den
Anzeigeelementen 4 mit einer entsprechenden Tastatur 8 zu versehen, die
von dem Hausterminal 6 aus, Funkbefehle an den Garagentorantrieb abgeben
kann, wenn kein Handsender eingesteckt bzw. verwendet wird.
Somit ist es nicht notwendig, unbedingt einen Handsender vor Ort zu haben,
um die Garagentorfunktionen zu verwirklichen. However, it is also conceivable for such a
