Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Befestigung von Endkappen an Gehäusen ge- maß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 , die aus Profilen bestehen und für türspezifische Einrichtungen für automatisch betriebene Türen eingesetzt werden. Dieses sind insbesondere Drehflügeltüren, Sensorleisten, Sensorleisten mit integrierter Gleitschiene, Schiebetürantriebe usw.The invention relates to an attachment of end caps to housings according to the preamble of claim 1, which consist of profiles and are used for door-specific devices for automatically operated doors. These are in particular swing doors, sensor strips, sensor strips with integrated slide rails, sliding door drives, etc.
In der EP 0 544 134 A1 wird eine Abdeckhaube beschrieben, die an den Stirnseiten eines Gehäuses unsichtbar angebracht wird. Dabei geschieht dieses über Rasten, die als Ausprägungen ausgebildet worden sind, wobei gleichzeitig die Endkappen entgegengerichtete Rastausnehmungen aufweisen und somit ohne Werkzeug mit dem Gehäuse befestigt werden können. Dabei werden die Endkappen von oben aufgeschoben und ver- rasten mit dem Gehäuse.EP 0 544 134 A1 describes a covering hood which is attached invisibly to the front sides of a housing. This is done by means of catches which have been designed as shapes, the end caps at the same time having opposing catch recesses and thus being able to be fastened to the housing without tools. The end caps are pushed on from above and snap into place with the housing.
Gerade bei Gehäusen, die aus stranggepreßten Materialien bestehen und dabei nach Möglichkeit einstückig hergestellt werden und in ihrem äußeren Erscheinungsbild als ansprechend anzusehen sind, ist einer Befestigung der herkömmlichen Art, nämlich durch Schrauben innerhalb des Profils nicht der nötige Raum gegeben. Darüber hinaus ist es oft schwierig, derartige Profile, da sie in unterschiedlichster Länge ihre Anwendung finden, auch immer in befriedigender Art und Weise zu befestigen. Gleichzeitig ist eine dermaßen schlecht zugängliche Befestigungsart bei der Montage sehr zeitaufwendig, so daß hohe Montagekosten anfallen, weil z.B. ein Durchbohren der Profile nicht möglich ist.Especially with housings that are made of extruded materials and, if possible, are manufactured in one piece and are to be regarded as appealing in their external appearance, a fastening of the conventional type, namely by screwing inside the profile, does not give the necessary space. In addition, it is often difficult to fasten such profiles in a satisfactory manner, since they are used in different lengths. At the same time, such a poorly accessible type of fastening is very time-consuming during assembly, so that high assembly costs are incurred because e.g. it is not possible to drill through the profiles.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Mängel des Standes der Technik zu beseitigen und eine Befestigungsart zu finden, die unabhängig von der Profillänge angewendet werden kann und gleichzeitig eine unsichtbare Befestigung der Endkappen und des Gehäuses bietet.The object of the invention is to eliminate the shortcomings of the prior art and to find a type of fastening which can be used regardless of the profile length and at the same time offers an invisible fastening of the end caps and the housing.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird gemäß dem Patentanspruch 1 gelöst, wobei die Unteransprüche eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wie- dergeben. Dabei werden die Endkappen über zwischengeschaltete Montageelemente, die innerhalb des Profils (Gehäuses) eingeclipst werden und das Profil gleichzeitig damit an dem Montageort festsetzen, unsichtbar befestigt werden. Dabei werden die Montageelemente so ausgebildet, daß sie in Kammern bzw. zwischen Stegen, die an/in dem Profil vorhanden sind, verklemmt werden. Diese Verklemmung wird beispielsweise dadurch erreicht, daß Teile des Querschnittes der Montageelemente federnd ausgelegt werden, um so ein Einstecken innerhalb des Profilendbereiches zu gewährleisten. Darüber hinaus ist an mindestens einem der Montageelemente ein Befestigungsschenkel vorhanden, der eine Montage und damit gleichzeitig eine Befestigung des gesamten Profils an dem Montageort zuläßt. Dieses geschieht durch eine Bohrung, die sich innerhalb des Befestigungsschenkels befindet.The object of the invention is achieved according to patent claim 1, the subclaims representing a further embodiment of the invention. give. The end caps are invisibly attached via intermediate mounting elements that are clipped into the profile (housing) and at the same time fix the profile at the installation location. The mounting elements are designed so that they are jammed in chambers or between webs that are present on / in the profile. This jamming is achieved, for example, in that parts of the cross section of the mounting elements are designed to be resilient in order to ensure insertion within the profile end area. In addition, a fastening leg is present on at least one of the assembly elements, which permits assembly and thus at the same time attachment of the entire profile at the assembly site. This is done through a hole that is located within the mounting leg.
Ein weiteres Montageelement kann beispielsweise in anderer Art mit dem Profil stirnseitig verbunden werden, wobei hierfür innerhalb des Profils vorhandene Schraubkanäle ausgenutzt werden. Gleichzeitig kann auch ein Montageelement so geformt sein, daß es eine Kabelzugentlastung mit realisiert. Dieses ist beispielsweise in der Form möglich, daß das Montageelement einen Schlitz aufweist, der in einer Bohrung endet. Der Schlitz muß sich in diesem Fall in dem Bereich befinden, in dem sich die Montagebohrung zur Befestigung in dem Schraubkanal befindet. Gleichzeitig sind an diesem Montageelement Rastungen angeformt, die mit Rastungen bzw. Vorsprüngen innerhalb der Endkappen in der Art zusammenwirken, daß die Endkappe nur aufgesteckt werden muß. Um einen noch sicheren Sitz zu gewährleisten, können auch an der Endkappe Vorsprünge angeformt sein, die formmäßig so gestaltet sind, daß sie innerhalb des Profils dem Verlauf der Wandungen angepaßt sind und somit ein Verrücken nach dem Aufclipsen der Endkappen nicht mehr möglich ist. Sollen die Endkappen wieder entfernt werden, so ist dies ohne Werkzeug ebenfalls wie das Aufsetzen möglich, da die Endkappen nur abgezogen werden müssen.Another mounting element can be connected to the profile on the face side, for example, in a different way, for which purpose existing screw channels within the profile are used. At the same time, a mounting element can also be shaped so that it also realizes a cable strain relief. This is possible, for example, in the form that the mounting element has a slot that ends in a bore. In this case, the slot must be in the area in which the mounting hole for fastening in the screw channel is located. At the same time, detents are formed on this mounting element, which cooperate with detents or projections within the end caps in such a way that the end cap only has to be pushed on. In order to ensure a still secure fit, projections can also be formed on the end cap, which are designed in such a way that they are adapted to the profile of the walls within the profile and thus it is no longer possible to move them after the end caps have been clipped on. If the end caps are to be removed again, this can be done without tools, just like putting them on, since the end caps only have to be removed.
Die Erfindung wird anhand eines möglichen Ausführungsbeispieles der Figur 1 wiedergegeben. Das Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 1 zeigt beispielsweise ein Gehäuse 5, welches als Profil einer Sensorleiste mit integrierter Gleitschiene in Form einer Kammer 6 ausgebildet ist. Dabei weist das Gehäuse 5 innen Möglichkeiten für die Aufnahme von elektronischen Platinen 8 auf, so daß die Strahlung, z.B. Infrarot, eines solchen Sensors durch ein innerhalb der Kontur angepaßtes Fenster 7 abgestrahlt werden kann. Darüber hinaus sind in dem Gehäuse 5 in Längsrichtung verlaufende Schraubkanäle 9, 10 vorhanden.The invention is reproduced on the basis of a possible exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1. The exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1 shows, for example, a housing 5 which is designed as a profile of a sensor strip with an integrated slide rail in the form of a chamber 6. The inside of the housing 5 has options for accommodating electronic boards 8, so that the radiation, for example infrared, from such a sensor can be emitted through a window 7 which is adapted within the contour. In addition, screw channels 9, 10 extending in the longitudinal direction are present in the housing 5.
In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind zwei unterschiedliche Montageele- mente 3, 4 wiedergegeben worden, um die universelle Befestigungsmöglichkeit der Endkappen 2 zu verdeutlichen.In this exemplary embodiment, two different mounting elements 3, 4 have been reproduced in order to illustrate the universal fastening possibility of the end caps 2.
Das Montageelement 3 besteht dabei im wesentlichen aus einem Befestigungsschenkel 17, der von einer Befestigungsbohrung 18 durchdrungen wird. Über die Befestigungsbohrung 18 wird das Montageelement 3 mit der daran befestigten Sensorleiste, nämlich dem Gehäuse 5, auf jeder Endseite beispielsweise an einer Tür oder oberhalb der Tür befestigt. In einem Winkel von etwa 90° steht zu dem Befestigungsschenkel 17 ein Träger 21. An dem Träger 21 sind Federschenkel 19 maßlich so angeformt, daß sie in die Kammer 6 des Gehäuses 5 eingeführt werden kön- nen. Gleichzeitig ist jedoch auch noch in gleicher Richtung, wie die Federschenkel 19, ein Steg 12 vorhanden, der durch einen Einschnitt 29 von den Federschenkeln 19 getrennt ist. Der Einschnitt 29 weist annähernd die Breite des Steges 26 auf, der sich innerhalb des Gehäuses 5 befindet. Somit ist es möglich, den Steg 12 innerhalb einer weiteren Kammer 30 des Gehäuses 5 einzuschieben. Damit beide Lappen, d.h. die Federschenkel 19 und der Steg 12, auch entsprechend gut in dem Gehäuse 5 eingesetzt werden können, befindet sich beispielsweise im Endbereich, d.h. nahe dem Träger 21 eine Querschnittsverjüngung 20, wodurch der Federschenkel 19 mit einer gewissen Vorspannung ausgestattet werden kann. Um an einem auf der Montageseite liegenden Schenkel 27 des Profils 30 beim Einstecken vorbeizukommen, ist ein Rücksprung 28 an dem Montageelement 3 vorhanden, so daß die rückwärtige Seite des Befestigungsschenkels 17 an dem Montageort auch plan anliegt. - 4 -The mounting element 3 consists essentially of a mounting leg 17, which is penetrated by a mounting hole 18. The mounting element 3 with the sensor strip attached to it, namely the housing 5, is fastened on each end side, for example to a door or above the door, via the fastening bore 18. A bracket 21 is at an angle of approximately 90 ° to the fastening leg 17. Spring legs 19 are dimensionally formed on the bracket 21 such that they can be inserted into the chamber 6 of the housing 5. At the same time, however, there is also a web 12 in the same direction as the spring legs 19, which is separated from the spring legs 19 by an incision 29. The incision 29 has approximately the width of the web 26, which is located within the housing 5. It is thus possible to insert the web 12 within a further chamber 30 of the housing 5. So that both tabs, ie the spring legs 19 and the web 12, can also be used correspondingly well in the housing 5, there is, for example, a cross-sectional taper 20 in the end region, ie near the carrier 21, so that the spring leg 19 can be provided with a certain preload . In order to come past a leg 27 of the profile 30 lying on the assembly side during insertion, a recess 28 is present on the assembly element 3, so that the rear side of the attachment leg 17 also lies flat against the assembly site. - 4 -
Das zweite Montageelement 4 ist anders gestaltet und übernimmt darüber hinaus neben der Verrastung mit der Endkappe 2 eine weitere Funktion. Dieses Montageelement 4 wird über eine Befestigungsbohrung 23 innerhalb des Schraubkanals 9 mittels eines Schraubelementes an das Ge- häuse 5 geschraubt. Gleichzeitig ist das Montageelement 4 jedoch formmäßig so gestaltet, daß es nahezu in der Mitte einen Schlitz 25 aufweist, der innerhalb einer Kabeldurchführung 24, in Form einer Bohrung, endet. Dadurch, daß beim Anziehen der Schraube in dem Schraubkanal 9 die beiden Schenkel, die durch den Schlitz 25 an dem Montageelement 4 gebildet werden, zusammengedrückt werden, wird gleichzeitig eine Kabelzugentlastung, für das durch die Kabeldurchführung 24 hindurchgeh- gende Kabel sichergestellt. Seitlich an dem Montageelement 4 befinden sich vorstehende Rastungen 22, die wiederum mit entsprechend gegengeformten Stegen bzw. Rastungen, die in dem Ausführungsbeispiel nicht dargestellt sind, die innerhalb der Endkappe 2 sich befinden, zusammenwirkt.The second mounting element 4 is designed differently and also takes on a further function in addition to the locking with the end cap 2. This mounting element 4 is screwed to the housing 5 via a fastening bore 23 within the screw channel 9 by means of a screw element. At the same time, however, the mounting element 4 is designed in such a way that it has a slot 25 almost in the middle, which ends within a cable bushing 24 in the form of a bore. Characterized in that when tightening the screw in the screw channel 9, the two legs, which are formed by the slot 25 on the mounting element 4, are pressed together, a cable strain relief is ensured for the cable passing through the cable bushing 24. On the side of the mounting element 4 there are projecting catches 22, which in turn cooperate with correspondingly shaped webs or catches, which are not shown in the exemplary embodiment and which are located in the end cap 2.
Soll nun die Endkappe 2, nachdem die Sensorleiste montiert ist, über das Montageelement 3 und die Befestigung des Montageelementes 4 auf- geclipst werden, so ist dieses ohne Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeugen mög- lieh. Zum einen rastet innerhalb der Querschnittsverjüngung 20 und andererseits an den Rastungen 22 die Endkappe 2 ein. Um einen weiteren verrutschungssicheren Halt zu gewährleisten, sind darüber hinaus Vorsprünge 13, 14 an der Endkappe 2 vorhanden, die durch einen Rücksprung 15 unterbrochen sind. Diese Vorsprünge 13, 14 sind formmäßig so ausgebildet, daß eine genaue Anpassung an die Kontur des Gehäuses 5 gegeben ist. Damit die Endkappe 2 auch dem, wie in dem Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellten, formgeberischen Erscheinungsbild angepaßt werden kann, ist eine Seitenwand 11 leicht ballig ausgeführt, wobei diese durch Schattenfugen 16 unterbrochen wird. Darüber hinaus verlaufen die seitlichen Wände 1 in der gleichen Kontur des Profils 5.If the end cap 2 is to be clipped over the mounting element 3 and the fastening of the mounting element 4 after the sensor strip has been mounted, this can be done without the aid of tools. On the one hand, the end cap 2 engages within the cross-sectional taper 20 and on the other hand at the catches 22. In order to ensure a further slip-proof hold, projections 13, 14 are also provided on the end cap 2, which are interrupted by a recess 15. The shape of these projections 13, 14 is such that there is an exact adaptation to the contour of the housing 5. So that the end cap 2 can also be adapted to the design appearance, as shown in the exemplary embodiment, a side wall 11 is of slightly spherical design, this being interrupted by shadow gaps 16. In addition, the side walls 1 run in the same contour of the profile 5.
