Description

Führungsschlitten für einen Torantrieb Guide carriage for a door operator
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Führungsschlitten für einen Torantrieb nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a guide carriage for a door drive according to the preamble of claim 1.
In bekannten Torantrieben werden die Führungsschlitten gleitend in einem C-Profil aufgenommen. Sie weisen zwei seitlich über ihre Länge verlaufende Durchbrüche zur Aufnahme eines Antriebsstranges, beispielsweise einer Antriebskette oder eines Antriebsriemens, auf. Über ein einsteuerbares Verriegelungselement können die Führungsschlitten mit der Antriebskette bzw. dem Antriebsriemen gekoppelt bzw. über einen entsprechenden Handzug im Bedarfsfalle entkoppelt werden. Im montierten Zustand ragt von der Unterseite des Führungsschlittens aus eine Befestigungsöse über die Begrenzungsfläche des C-Profils nach unten. An dieser Befestigungsöse ist ein Betätigungsgestänge für das Tor angelenkt. Dieser asymmetrische Aufbau des Führungsschlittens weist verschiedene Nachteile auf. So ist das Handling der Führungsschlitten aufgrund des asymmetrischen Aufbaus während der Lagerhaltung und des Transports umständlich. Die herausstehende Anlenköse stellt unter Festigkeitsgesichtspunkten darüber hinaus ein kritisches Bauteil dar.In known gate drives, the guide slides are slidably received in a C-profile. They have two openings running laterally along their length for receiving a drive train, for example a drive chain or a drive belt. The guide slides can be coupled to the drive chain or the drive belt by means of a controllable locking element or, if necessary, can be decoupled by means of a corresponding manual pull. In the assembled state, a fastening eyelet protrudes from the underside of the guide carriage over the boundary surface of the C-profile. An actuating linkage for the gate is articulated on this fastening eye. This asymmetrical structure of the guide carriage has various disadvantages. The handling of the guide slides is cumbersome due to the asymmetrical structure during storage and transport. The protruding link eyelet is also a critical component from the point of view of strength.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den gattungsgemäßen Führungsschlitten derart weiterzubilden, daß er kompakt aufgebaut ist und aus vergleichsweise wenigen Teilen aufgebaut sämtliche Funktionen sicher erfüllt. Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe ausgehend von einem gattungsgemäßen Führungsschlitten nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Demnach ist der Führungsschlitten bezüglich der Außenkontur symmetrisch aufgebaut und weist im eingebauten Zustand keine über das C-Profil herausstehenden Teile auf. Darüber hinaus weist der Führungsschlitten auf seiner Stirnseite einen durchgehenden Schlitz auf, der parallel zu den Seitenwandungen verläuft. Der Schlitz wird von einem das Anlenkelement bildenden Bolzen überbrückt. Der Bolzen ist somit sicher im Gehäuse des Führungsschlittens verankert, was zu einer Erhöhung der Stabilität des durch den Bolzen gebildeten Anlenkpunktes führt.The object of the invention is to further develop the generic guide carriage in such a way that it is of compact construction and reliably fulfills all functions when constructed from comparatively few parts. According to the invention, this object is achieved on the basis of a generic guide carriage according to the preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Accordingly, the guide slide is constructed symmetrically with respect to the outer contour and, when installed, has no parts protruding from the C-profile. In addition, the guide carriage has a continuous slot on its end face, which runs parallel to the side walls. The slot is bridged by a bolt forming the articulation element. The bolt is thus securely anchored in the housing of the guide carriage, which leads to an increase in the stability of the articulation point formed by the bolt.
Der Bolzen kann gemäß einer vorzugsweisen Ausführungsform von außen in einen als U-Profil ausgebildeten Schlitz einlegbar sein und an den jeweiligen Enden über Befestigungsschrauben festlegbar sein. Dadurch kann der Bolzen einfach montiert werden, wenn der Führungsschlitten bereits im C-Profil eingebaut ist.According to a preferred embodiment, the bolt can be inserted from the outside into a slot designed as a U-profile and can be fixed at the respective ends via fastening screws. This means that the bolt can be easily installed when the guide slide is already installed in the C-profile.
Vorzugsweise besteht der Schlitten im wesentlichen aus zwei aufeinander aufsteckbaren und miteinander lösbar verbindbaren Kunststofformteilen.The carriage preferably consists essentially of two molded plastic parts which can be plugged onto one another and releasably connected to one another.
Das innerhalb des Schlittens angeordnete Verriegelungselement besteht aus einem verschiebbaren Riegel, der quer zur Verschiebungsrichtung des Führungsschlittens verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise ist an dem Riegel ein Führungszapfen angeordnet, beispielsweise angespritzt, der mit einer Kulissenführung zusammenwirkt, die in einem federbelasteten im Führungsschlitten verschiebbar angeordneten Schiebeelement vorgesehen ist. Die Kulissenführung des Schiebeelements kann gegen die Kraft der Feder über einen Handzug zur An- und Entkopplung des Riegels betätigbar sein. Der Handzug kann zentrisch im Führungsschlitten aus dem Schlitz herausgeführt werden. Er ist somit in jeder Einbaulage des Führungsschlittens aus dem Schlitz nach unten herausführbar. Um eine genaue Anpassung an verschiedene Höhen des C-Profils zu gewährleisten, kann zumindest eine Teilfläche des Führungsschlittens mit einem Adapter, der mit dem Führungsschlitten lösbar befestigt ist, abgedeckt sein. Für diese Problemlösung wird separat Schutz beansprucht.The locking element arranged within the slide consists of a displaceable bolt which is displaceably arranged transversely to the direction of displacement of the guide slide. A guide pin is preferably arranged on the bolt, for example injection molded, which cooperates with a link guide which is provided in a spring-loaded sliding element which is displaceably arranged in the guide carriage. The slide guide of the sliding element can be actuated against the force of the spring via a hand pull for coupling and uncoupling the bolt. The manual pull can be guided out of the slot centrally in the guide carriage. It can thus be guided downwards out of the slot in any installation position of the guide slide. In order to ensure an exact adaptation to different heights of the C-profile, at least one partial surface of the guide carriage can be covered with an adapter which is detachably fastened to the guide carriage. Protection is claimed separately for this problem solution.

In der Darstellung gemäß der Fig. 1 und 2 ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Führungsschlitten 10, der in einem C-Schienenprofil 12 verschiebbar geführt ist, gezeigt. In den seitlichen Bereichen des C-Schienenprofils 12 ist in hier nicht dargestellter Art und Weise beispielsweise ein Zahnriemen geführt, der über einen hier nicht näher dargestellten Antriebsmotor antreibbar ist. Mit diesem Zahnriemen ist der Führungsschlitten 10 über einen Riegel 14, der in der Darstellung gemäß Fig. 2 sehe- matisch dargestellt ist, koppelbar. Der Zahnriemen verläuft durch die über die Länge des Führungsschlittens 10 verlaufenden seitlichen Durchbrüche 16 und 18. Durch Einschieben des Riegels 14 in die Ausnehmung 18 wird der Führungsschlitten 10 mit dem hier nicht näher dargestellten Zahnriemen gekoppelt und durch entsprechendes Zurückziehen des Riegels 14 wird der Führungsschlitten 10 von dem Zahnriemen entkoppelt. Die entsprechende Koppelbewegung erfolgt über einen Handzug 20, der in einer beispielhaften Anordnung aus der Darstellung gemäß der Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtlich ist. In dieser Ausführungsform ist der Handzug asymmetrisch angeordnet.1 and 2, a guide carriage 10 according to the invention, which is guided in a C-rail profile 12, is shown. A toothed belt, for example, is guided in the side regions of the C-rail profile 12 in a manner not shown here, which can be driven by a drive motor (not shown here). With this toothed belt, the guide carriage 10 is connected via a bolt 14, which can be seen in the illustration according to FIG. is shown mathematically, can be coupled. The toothed belt runs through the lateral openings 16 and 18 running over the length of the guide carriage 10. By inserting the bolt 14 into the recess 18, the guide carriage 10 is coupled to the toothed belt (not shown in more detail here) and by appropriately withdrawing the bolt 14, the guide carriage 10 decoupled from the toothed belt. The corresponding coupling movement takes place via a manual pull 20, which can be seen in an exemplary arrangement from the illustration according to FIGS. 1 and 2. In this embodiment, the hand pull is arranged asymmetrically.
Im Führungsschlitten 10 ist zentrisch auf einer Stirnseite ein Schlitz 22 ausgenommen. Dieser Schlitz wird über einen jeweils seitlich festgelegten Bolzen 24 überbrückt. Über den Bolzen 24 kann ein hier nicht näher dargestelltes Anlenkgestänge für das zu verfahrende Tor angelenkt werden. Im Bereich des Schlitzes 22 kann gemäß einer anderen hier nicht näher dargestellten Ausführungsform ebenfalls der Handzug 20 angeordnet sein. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß der Handzug 20 je nach Einbaulage des Schlittens 10 zu jeder der beiden um 180° gedrehten Einbaupositionen nach unten aus dem C-Schienenprofil 12 herausgeführt werden kann.In the guide carriage 10, a slot 22 is centrally removed on one end face. This slot is bridged by a laterally fixed bolt 24. A linkage rod (not shown here) for the gate to be moved can be articulated via the bolt 24. According to another embodiment not shown here, the hand pull 20 can also be arranged in the area of the slot 22. This has the advantage that, depending on the installation position of the slide 10, the manual pull 20 can be led downward out of the C-rail profile 12 to each of the two installation positions rotated by 180 °.
Aus der Darstellung gemäß Fig. 3 wird deutlich, wie der Bolzen 24 im Führungsschlitten 10 befestigt ist. Im Führungsschlitten 10 sind schlitzförmige Ausnehmungen in Form eines U-Profils 32 vorgesehen, in welche der Bolzen 24 einlegbar und über Schrauben 26 und 28 festlegbar ist.3 shows how the bolt 24 is fastened in the guide carriage 10. In the guide carriage 10, slot-shaped recesses in the form of a U-profile 32 are provided, into which the bolt 24 can be inserted and fixed using screws 26 and 28.
Wie insbesondere auch aus der Fig. 4 ersichtlich besteht der bezüglich seiner Außenkontur symmetrisch aufgebaute Führungsschlitten 10 im wesentlichen aus zwei aufeinander aufsteckbaren und miteinander lösbar verbindbaren Kunststofformtei- len 34 und 36. Das Aufstecken der beiden Halbschalen 34 und 36 aufeinander erfolgt über seitliche Schnapplaschen 38, die eine einfache Verbindung durch Aufschnappen ermöglichen. Zur Sicherung sind Verbindungsschrauben 26, 28 und 30 vorgesehen, wobei die Verbindungsschrauben 26 und 28 gleichzeitig zur Festlegung des Bolzens 24 dienen, wie zuvor ausgeführt. Im unteren Kunststofformteil 36 des Schlittens 10 ist eine Führung 40 für den als eigenes Kunststofformteil ausgebildeten Riegel 14 integriert. Diese Führung besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei parallelen Enden, zwischen denen der Riegel 14 längsverschieblich geführt ist. Die Bewegungsrichtung des Riegels 14 verläuft unter 90° zu der Bewegungsrichtung des Führungsschlittens 10. Auf seiner Oberseite ist an dem Riegel 14 ein Füh- rungszapfen 42 angespritzt. Dieser Führungszapfen 42 wirkt mit einer Kulissenführung 44 zusammen, die an einem Schiebeelement 46 ausgebildet ist. Das Schiebeelement 46 ist längsverschieblich im Führungsschlitten 10 gelagert und stützt sich gegen eine Druckfeder, die das Schiebeelement in einer Ausgangsposition hält, ab. Das Schiebeelement 46 kann entgegen der Kraft der Druckfeder 48 über den Handzug 20, der am Ansatz 48 am Schiebeelement angreift, verschoben werden. Durch diese Längsverschiebung des Schiebeelements 46 wird der Riegel 14 über den Führungszapfen 42 in seiner Position verschoben. Dies kann anhand der Fig. 5 verdeutlicht werden. Dort ist der Riegel 14 in seiner verriegelten Position mit einem Zahnriemenverbinder 50 dargestellt. In diesem Zustand liegt der Führungszapfen 42 des Riegels 14 in der Position 1 der Kulissenführung 44. Zur Freischaltung des Riegels 14 wird das Schiebeelement 46 soweit verfahren, bis der Führungszapfen 42 des Riegels 14 den Scheitelpunkt 2 der Kulissenführung 44 erreicht hat. Nach Loslassen des Handzugs wird das Schiebeelement 46 durch den Federdruck entgegen der Zugrichtung des Handzugs bewegt, so daß der Führungszapfen 42 mit dem Riegel 14 entlang dem Kurvenverlauf der Kulissenführung zum Punkt 3 gelenkt wird. In diesem Zustand ist der Riegel 14 seitlich entlang der Führung 40 gemäß Fig. 4 nach innen in den Führungsschlitten 10 hineingezogen, so daß hier der entriegelte Zustand erreicht ist. Zum Verriegeln wird dann das Schiebeelement 46 über den Handzug wieder nach unten bewegt. Über die Kulissenführung 44 wird der Riegel wieder in die Ursprungsposition 1 bewegt, so daß er wieder in die Verriegelungsposition ausgelenkt ist.As can also be seen particularly from FIG. 4, the guide carriage 10, which is constructed symmetrically with respect to its outer contour, essentially consists of two plastic molded parts 34 and 36 which can be plugged onto one another and releasably connected to one another. which allow a simple connection by snapping on. For securing purposes, connecting screws 26, 28 and 30 are provided, the connecting screws 26 and 28 simultaneously serving to fix the bolt 24, as previously stated. In the lower plastic molding 36 of the slide 10, a guide 40 is integrated for the bolt 14, which is designed as a separate molded plastic part. This guide consists essentially of two parallel ends, between which the bolt 14 is guided in a longitudinally displaceable manner. The direction of movement of the bolt 14 extends at 90 ° to the direction of movement of the guide carriage 10. On its upper side, a guide pin 42 is injection molded onto the bolt 14. This guide pin 42 interacts with a link guide 44, which is formed on a sliding element 46. The sliding element 46 is mounted in a longitudinally displaceable manner in the guide carriage 10 and is supported against a compression spring which holds the sliding element in an initial position. The sliding element 46 can be moved against the force of the compression spring 48 by means of the hand pull 20, which engages the extension 48 on the sliding element. As a result of this longitudinal displacement of the sliding element 46, the bolt 14 is displaced in its position via the guide pin 42. This can be illustrated using FIG. 5. There, the bolt 14 is shown in its locked position with a toothed belt connector 50. In this state, the guide pin 42 of the bolt 14 is in position 1 of the link guide 44. To unlock the bolt 14, the sliding element 46 is moved until the guide pin 42 of the bolt 14 has reached the apex 2 of the link guide 44. After releasing the hand pull, the sliding element 46 is moved by the spring pressure against the pulling direction of the hand pull, so that the guide pin 42 is guided with the bolt 14 along the curve of the link guide to point 3. In this state, the latch 14 is pulled laterally along the guide 40 according to FIG. 4 inwards into the guide carriage 10, so that the unlocked state is reached here. To lock, the sliding element 46 is then moved down again via the hand pull. Via the link guide 44, the bolt is moved back to the original position 1, so that it is deflected again into the locking position.
In der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 6 ist der zuvor beschriebene Führungsschlitten mit einem einen Teilbereich überdeckenden Adapter 52 verschraubt. Bei dem Adapter 52 handelt es sich um ein Kunststofformteil, das über die gesamte Breite des Führungsschlittens 10 verläuft und eine genügende Länge aufweist, um hier eine sichere Führung in einem C-Profil zu gewährleisten. Über entsprechend dick ausgeformte Adapter 52 kann hier eine Anpassung an die Höhe der C-Schiene erfolgen. In the embodiment according to FIG. 6, the guide slide described above is screwed to an adapter 52 covering a partial area. The adapter 52 is a molded plastic part that extends over the entire width of the guide carriage 10 and has a sufficient length to be one to ensure safe guidance in a C-profile. Adaptation to the height of the C-rail can take place here by means of correspondingly thick adapters 52.
