Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für den Antrieb verschiebbarer, insbesondere drehbarer Trennelemente nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for driving displaceable, in particular rotatable separating elements according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Zum Trennen oder Gestalten von Räumen oder zum Abschliessen von Raum- oder Fensteröffnungen werden oft Glas- oder Holzwände, Kulissen, Türen oder Läden verwendet, nachstehend als Trennelemente bezeichnet, die fest montiert oder an entlang einer Laufschiene verschiebbaren Laufwerken befestigt und gegebenenfalls drehbar gelagert und/oder stapelbar sind.For separating or designing rooms or for closing room or window openings glass or wooden walls, scenes, doors or shops are often used, hereinafter referred to as separating elements that are permanently mounted or attached to sliding along a track drives and possibly rotatably mounted and / or or stackable.

Aus [1], DE 29 10 185 A1 ist eine Antriebsvorrichtung für ein Trennelement bekannt, bei der ein zum Tragen des Trennelementes dienendes, in einer Tragvorrichtung bzw. einer Laufschiene geführtes Laufwerk mit einem innerhalb und längs der Laufschiene ausgerichteten Elektromotor verbunden ist, der über ein Getriebe mit einem Zahnrad in ein in der Laufschiene vorgesehenes Zahnstangenprofil, beispielsweise einen Zahnriemen, eingreift. Das Getriebe ist mit einem Winkelstück verbunden, das beidseits mit Tragrollen versehen und mit dem Trennelement verbunden ist. Das in [1] beschriebene Trennelement, das nur von einem grösseren, durch das Winkelstück und Tragrollen gebildeten Laufwerk getragen wird, ist nur entlang einer Geraden verschiebbar, wodurch gewährleistet wird, dass das Zahnrad und das Zahnstangenprofil stets in gegenseitigem Eingriff sind. Die beschriebene Antriebsvorrichtung ist für drehbare, gegebenenfalls parkierbare Trennelemente daher nicht geeignet.From [1], DE 29 10 185 A1 a drive device for a separating element is known, in which a serving for supporting the separating element, guided in a supporting device or a running rail drive is connected to an aligned inside and along the running rail electric motor, via a gear with a gear in a running rail provided rack profile, such as a toothed belt, engages. The gear is connected to an elbow, which is provided on both sides with support rollers and connected to the separating element. The separating element described in [1], which is supported only by a larger, formed by the angle and support rollers drive is displaceable only along a straight line, thereby ensuring that the gear and the rack profile are always in mutual engagement. The drive device described is therefore not suitable for rotatable, optionally parkable separating elements.

Aus [2], EP 0 957 208 A1 ist eine Antriebsvorrichtung bekannt, bei der ein mit dem Laufwerk verbundener Elektromotor ebenfalls innerhalb der zum Tragen der Laufwerke dienenden Laufschiene angeordnet ist. Bei dieser Antriebsvorrichtung ist einem Laufwerk eines Trennelements ein Elektromotor zugeordnet, welcher über ein Getriebe die Tragrollen des Laufwerks antreibt. Einerseits resultiert dadurch ein Antrieb basierend auf der kraftschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen den Tragrollen und innerhalb der Laufschiene vorgesehener Laufflächen, weshalb mit einem verhältnismässig raschen Verschleiss der Tragrollen und gegebenenfalls mit störenden Schlupferscheinungen zu rechnen ist. Zudem resultieren insbesondere durch das für den Antrieb der Tragrollen notwendige Getriebe relativ grosse Abmessungen der Antriebsvorrichtung und der verwendeten Laufschiene. Ferner ist bei der Vorrichtung von [2] zu beachten, dass eine Antriebsachse mit jeweils zwei Tragrollen angetrieben wird, die auf voneinander getrennten Laufflächen geführt sind, wodurch gegebenenfalls unerwünschte Einschränkungen der Anwendbarkeit der Vorrichtung entstehen können. Beispielsweise ist das Parkieren der Trennelemente, die mit der in [2] offenbarten Antriebsvorrichtung versehen sind, kaum möglich.From [2], EP 0 957 208 A1 For example, a drive device is known in which an electric motor connected to the drive is also arranged inside the running rail used to carry the drives. In this drive device, a drive of a separating element is assigned an electric motor which drives the carrying rollers of the drive via a gear. On the one hand, this results in a drive based on the frictional connection between the support rollers and provided within the track rail treads, which is why with a relatively rapid wear of the support rollers and possibly with disturbing slip phenomena is to be expected. In addition, resulting in particular by the necessary for the drive of the support rollers gear relatively large dimensions of the drive device and the track used. Furthermore, in the device of [2] it should be noted that a drive axle is driven by two support rollers which are guided on separate running surfaces, which may possibly result in undesirable limitations of the applicability of the device. For example, the parking of the partition members provided with the drive device disclosed in [2] is hardly possible.

Aufgrund der beschriebenen Probleme wurde bei verschiedenen jüngeren Entwicklungen der Elektromotor der Antriebsvorrichtung ausserhalb der Laufschiene angeordnet.Due to the described problems, in various recent developments, the electric motor of the drive device has been arranged outside the running rail.

Aus [3], WO 97/42388 ist eine Antriebsvorrichtung bekannt, bei der ein Laufwerk mit einer vor- oder nachlaufenden, eine eigene Tragrolle aufweisenden Halterung verbunden ist, welche den Elektromotor seitlich und unterhalb der Laufschiene derart hält, dass ein vom Elektromotor angetriebenes Zahnrad von unten in einen in einer Nut der Laufschiene vorgesehenen Zahnriemen eingreifen kann. Für diese Antriebsvorrichtung ist daher relativ viel Raum neben der Laufschiene frei zu halten, was oft nicht möglich ist. Gegebenenfalls ist eine Abdeckung vorzusehen um eine störende optische Wirkung des Elektromotors zu vermeiden. Gemäss [4], CH 692 052 A5 , ist der Elektromotor bei dieser Antriebsvorrichtung vorzugsweise verschiebbar zu lagern, um auch in Kurven oder Biegungen der Laufschiene ein leichtgängiges und störungsfreies Fahren der Trennelemente zu gewährleisten.From [3], WO 97/42388 is a drive device is known in which a drive with a leading or trailing, a separate support roller having bracket is connected, which holds the electric motor laterally and below the track such that a driven by the electric motor gear from below into one in a groove of the track provided timing belt can intervene. For This drive device is therefore relatively much space next to the track to keep free, which is often not possible. If necessary, provide a cover to avoid a disturbing visual effect of the electric motor. According to [4], CH 692 052 A5 , The electric motor is preferably slidably store in this drive device to ensure a smooth and trouble-free driving of the separating elements even in curves or bends of the track rail.

In [5], EP 0 953 706 A1 ist eine von der Anmelderin mitentwickelte Schiebestapelwand beschrieben, bei der, wie nachstehend in Figur 1 gezeigt, jedes der Wand- bzw. Trennelemente 3 an seiner deckenseitigen Oberkante durch ein horizontal verlaufendes Tragprofil 2 begrenzt ist, das mit zwei in einer Laufschiene 1 geführten Laufwerken 100a, 100b verbunden ist. Jedes der Trennelemente 3 verfügt über eine eigene mit einem Elektromotor 71 versehene Antriebsvorrichtung 70, die innerhalb des Tragprofils 2 angeordnet ist und gegebenenfalls über ein innerhalb des Motorengehäuses angeordnetes Getriebe 72, ein Winkelgetriebe 73, eine Antriebswelle 76 ein Zahnrad 125 antreibt, das in einen innerhalb der Laufschiene 1 angeordneten Zahnriemen 24 eingreift. Durch die Anordnung des Elektromotors 71 parallel zur Längsachse des Tragprofils 2 wird ein kompakter Aufbau der Führungs- und Antriebsvorrichtung erzielt, ohne dass die Querschnittsfläche des Tragprofils 2, das beispielsweise zum Halten einer Glasplatte vorgesehen ist, wesentlich vergrössert werden muss.In [5], EP 0 953 706 A1 there is described a sliding stacking wall co-developed by the Applicant, in which, as described in below FIG. 1 shown, each of the wall or separating elements 3 is limited at its ceiling-side upper edge by a horizontally extending support section 2, which is connected to two run in a track rail 1 drives 100a, 100b. Each of the separating elements 3 has its own drive device 70 provided with an electric motor 71, which is arranged within the carrying profile 2 and optionally via a gearbox 72 arranged within the motor housing, an angular gear 73, a drive shaft 76 which drives a gearwheel 125 which engages within one the running rail 1 arranged toothed belt 24 engages. The arrangement of the electric motor 71 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support profile 2, a compact design of the guiding and driving device is achieved without the cross-sectional area of the support profile 2, which is provided for holding a glass plate, for example, must be substantially increased.

Die Befestigung der Antriebsvorrichtung am Trennelement erfordert bei der in [5] beschriebenen Lösung daher ein entsprechend ausgestaltetes Tragprofil 2. Vorrichtungen zur punktuellen Befestigung von zu verschiebenden und gegebenenfalls zu drehenden Elementen; beispielsweise Glas-, Metall- oder Holzplatten; wie sie in [6], WO 98/59140 beschrieben sind, sind in Verbindung mit der Lösung von [5] daher nicht verwendbar.The attachment of the drive device on the separator therefore requires in the solution described in [5] a suitably ausgestaltetes support profile 2. devices for selective attachment of elements to be moved and possibly to be rotated; for example, glass, Metal or wood panels; as in [6], WO 98/59140 are therefore not usable in connection with the solution of [5].

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Antriebsvorrichtung insbesondere für linear oder in Kurven verschiebbare, gegebenenfalls dreh- und parkierbare Trennelemente zu schaffen, welche nicht mit den oben beschriebenen Nachteilen behaftet ist. Diese Antriebsvorrichtung weist ein Laufwerk auf, das mit einem Elektromotor versehen ist.The present invention is therefore based on the object, a drive device in particular for linear or in curves displaceable, optionally rotatable and parkable separating elements to create, which is not associated with the disadvantages described above. This drive device has a drive which is provided with an electric motor.

Insbesondere ist eine Antriebsvorrichtung zu schaffen, die kompakt aufgebaut und in aus Schienen, Laufwerken und Befestigungselementen bestehenden Führungsvorrichtungen mit insgesamt reduzierten Abmessungen einsetzbar ist.In particular, a drive device is to provide, which is compact and can be used in existing rails, drives and fasteners guide devices with a total of reduced dimensions.

Die erfindungsgemässe Antriebsvorrichtung soll zudem einen verbesserten Wirkungsgrad aufweisen und kostengünstiger herstellbar sein.The inventive drive device should also have improved efficiency and be cheaper to produce.

Weiterhin soll die erfindungsgemässe Antriebsvorrichtung einfacher montierbar sein und mit einem reduzierten Aufwand gewartet werden können.Furthermore, the inventive drive device should be easier to install and can be maintained with a reduced effort.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Antriebsvorrichtung gelöst, welche die in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale aufweisen. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in weiteren Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved with a drive device having the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in further claims.

Die erfindungsgemässe Antriebsvorrichtung dient zum Antreiben eines linear und/oder in Kurven verschiebbaren, gegebenenfalls dreh- und parkierbaren Trennelements, das an wenigstens zwei in einer Laufschiene geführten, mit Tragrollen versehenen Laufwerken befestigt ist, von denen wenigstens das erste mit einer senkrecht zur Laufrichtung der Laufwerke verlaufenden Antriebswelle versehen ist, mittels der ein Antriebsrad drehbar ist, das in ein entlang einer Innenwand der Laufschiene angeordnetes gezahntes Element eingreift.The drive device according to the invention serves for driving a linearly displaceable and / or in curves, optionally rotatable and parkable separating element which is fastened to at least two guided in a running rail, provided with support rollers drives, of which at least the first is provided with a perpendicular to the running direction of the drives drive shaft, by means of which a drive wheel is rotatable, which engages in a arranged along an inner wall of the track rail toothed element.

Erfindungsgemäss ist das erste Laufwerk mit einem senkrecht zwischen den Tragrollen angeordneten Elektromotor versehen, dessen Motorwelle mit der Antriebswelle drehfest gekoppelt ist. Dadurch resultiert ein einfacher Aufbau der Antriebsvorrichtung und die Vermeidung laufwerksspezifischer Getriebevorrichtungen, beispielsweise eines Winkelgetriebes, wie es in der in [5] beschriebenen Vorrichtung verwendet wird. Nebst einem reduzierten Herstellungs-, Montage- und Wartungsaufwand resultiert ferner ein höherer Wirkungsgrad der Antriebsvorrichtung. Der Körper des ersten Laufwerks dient somit gleichzeitig zum Halten der Trag- und Führungsrollen sowie als Halterung für den senkrecht zur Laufrichtung des Laufwerks angeordneten Elektromotor, wodurch ein kompakter Aufbau des Laufwerks mit einem relativ geringen Achsabstand der Tragrollen erzielt wird. Mit der erfindungsgemässen Antriebsvorrichtung versehene Trennelemente können aufgrund des relativ geringen Achsabstands der Tragrollen problemlos parkiert werden, da die mit den Antriebsvorrichtungen versehenen Laufwerke im Parkraum nahe aneinander gefahren werden können. Zudem entfallen zusätzliche Halterungen für den Elektromotor, die bei bekannten Laufwerken vor- oder nachlaufend angeordnet sind. Dadurch werden auch Probleme mit standardmässig eingesetzten Puffervorrichtungen vermieden, die als Endanschläge zum Stoppen der Trennelemente dienen und dazu, wie beispielsweise in [6], WO 00/55460 beschrieben, auf den Laufwerkskörper einwirken.According to the invention, the first drive is provided with a vertically arranged between the support rollers electric motor whose motor shaft is rotatably coupled to the drive shaft. This results in a simple design of the drive device and the avoidance of drive-specific transmission devices, such as an angular gear, as used in the device described in [5]. In addition to a reduced production, installation and maintenance effort also results in a higher efficiency of the drive device. The body of the first drive thus serves at the same time to hold the support and guide rollers and as a support for the perpendicular to the running direction of the drive arranged electric motor, whereby a compact structure of the drive is achieved with a relatively small center distance of the support rollers. With the drive device according to the invention provided separating elements can be easily parked due to the relatively small center distance of the support rollers, since the provided with the drive devices drives in the parking space can be driven close to each other. In addition, eliminates additional brackets for the electric motor, which are arranged in known drives before or after running. This also avoids problems with standard buffering devices that serve as end stops for stopping the separator elements and, as in [6] for example, WO 00/55460 described, act on the drive body.

Ferner erlaubt die erfindungsgemässe Antriebsvorrichtung den Einsatz von standardmässig in hohen Stückzahlen produzierten Elektromotoren, die gegebenenfalls mit einem in das Motorengehäuse integrierten Getriebe versehen sind. Der Elektromotor und das Getriebe können daher aneinander angepasst, als eine einzige Einheit zu einem entsprechend tiefen Stückpreis beschafft und in ein Laufwerk eingebaut werden.Furthermore, the drive device according to the invention allows the use of standard produced in large quantities electric motors, which are optionally provided with a built-in engine housing gearbox. The electric motor and the transmission can therefore be adapted to each other, procured as a single unit at a correspondingly low unit price and installed in a drive.

Vorzugsweise dient die Motorwelle des Elektromotors gleichzeitig als Antriebswelle, auf die das Antriebsrad aufgesetzt ist. Die Antriebswelle und die Motorwelle sind in diesem Fall einstückig gefertigt, wodurch ein einfacher Aufbau der Vorrichtung resultiert. Möglich ist ferner die Verwendung einer vorzugsweise anhand von miteinander verbindbaren Flanschen gebildete Kopplungsvorrichtung, mittels der die Motorwelle und die Antriebswelle miteinander verbunden werden.Preferably, the motor shaft of the electric motor simultaneously serves as a drive shaft to which the drive wheel is mounted. The drive shaft and the motor shaft are made in one piece in this case, whereby a simple structure of the device results. It is also possible to use a coupling device which is preferably formed on the basis of mutually connectable flanges, by means of which the motor shaft and the drive shaft are connected to one another.

Ein zum Halten des Trennelements dienendes Befestigungselement wird vorzugsweise drehbar mit dem Körper des ersten Laufwerks oder mit der Antriebswelle verbunden oder drehbar innerhalb der mit dem Trennelement verbundenen Montagevorrichtung gelagert, so dass Drehungen der Trennelemente, beispielsweise beim Durchlaufen gekurvter Schienenbereiche, beim Falten einer durch die Trennelemente gebildeten Trennwand oder beim Parkieren der Trennelemente, erfolgen können.A fastener serving to hold the separator is preferably rotatably connected to the body of the first drive or to the drive shaft or rotatably supported within the fixture associated with the separator, such that rotations of the separators, for example when passing curved rail portions, folds through the separators formed partition or when parking the dividing elements, can be done.

In einer vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Antriebswelle mit einem ersten hohlzylinderförmigen Flanschelement verschraubt, das zur Lagerung eines zweiten hohlzylinderförmigen, einseitig mit einem Innenflansch versehenen Flanschelements dient, welches mit dem Befestigungselement verbindbar ist. Der Aussendurchmesser des ersten Flanschelements ist zumindest annähernd so gross ist wie der Innendurchmesser des zweiten Flanschelements, so dass das zweite Flanschelement mit wenig oder gar keinem Spiel um das erste Flanschelement drehbar ist und mittels des Innenflanschs von diesem getragen wird. Zur Vermeidung gegenseitiger Reibung können zwischen den beiden Flanschelementen Schmiermittel oder Lagerelemente wie Kugeln oder Rollen vorgesehen sein.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the drive shaft is screwed to a first hollow cylindrical flange member which serves for supporting a second hollow cylindrical, provided on one side with an inner flange flange member which is connectable to the fastening element. The outside diameter of the first flange is at least approximately as large as the inner diameter of the second flange, so that the second flange is rotatable with little or no play around the first flange and is supported by the inner flange thereof. To avoid mutual friction, lubricants or bearing elements such as balls or rollers may be provided between the two flange elements.

In einer weiteren vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Motorwelle, die Antriebswelle und das Befestigungselement einstückig gefertigt, woraus ein besonders einfacher und stabiler Aufbau des erfindungsgemässen ersten Laufwerks resultiert.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the motor shaft, the drive shaft and the fastener are made in one piece, resulting in a particularly simple and stable construction of the inventive first drive.

Sofern das Befestigungselement mit der Antriebswelle verbunden ist, wird die Last des Trennelements auf diese übertragen. Vorzugsweise wird daher die Motorwelle oder die Antriebswelle, beispielsweise mittels eines damit verbundenen Flanschs im Körper des ersten Laufwerks senkrecht derart gelagert, dass durch das Trennelement einwirkende Kräfte aufgefangen werden.If the fastener is connected to the drive shaft, the load of the separator is transferred to this. Preferably, therefore, the motor shaft or the drive shaft, for example, by means of a flange connected thereto in the body of the first drive mounted vertically such that forces acting through the separating element are collected.

Zur gegenseitigen Stabilisierung des Laufwerks und der Antriebsvorrichtung wird die Motorwelle gegebenenfalls mittels des Körpers des ersten Laufwerks einseitig oder beidseits des Elektromotors gelagert und dadurch in senkrechter Ausrichtung gehalten.For mutual stabilization of the drive and the drive device, the motor shaft is optionally supported by the body of the first drive on one side or on both sides of the electric motor and thereby held in a vertical orientation.

Zur Aufnahme und zum Halten des Elektromotors weist das Laufwerk vorzugsweise einen einstückigen Körper auf. Zu diesem Zweck ist jedoch auch die Verwendung eines mit zwei Teilen versehenen Körpers möglich, in den beispielsweise auch die Steuerelektronik aufgenommen werden kann.For receiving and holding the electric motor, the drive preferably has a one-piece body. For this purpose, however, the use of a body provided with two parts is possible in the example, the control electronics can be included.

Die erfindungsgemässe Antriebsvorrichtung kann in verschiedenartige Laufwerke integriert werden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Erfindung in nur einseitig mit Laufrollen und Führungsrollen versehenen Laufwerken einsetzbar, die vorzugsweise bei parkierbaren Trennelementen verwendet werden, bei denen das erste Laufwerk der einen und das zweite Laufwerk der anderen Schienenseite folgt, die in einem Parkraum gegebenenfalls auseinander laufen.The inventive drive device can be integrated into various drives. Particularly advantageously, the invention in only one side provided with rollers and guide rollers drives can be used, which are preferably used in parkable separating elements, in which the first drive one and the second drive follows the other rail side, which optionally diverge in a parking space.

Zur Energieversorgung des Elektromotors ist innerhalb der Laufschiene eine sich in Längsrichtung der Laufschiene erstreckende Stromschiene angeordnet, welche von Stromabnehmern abgetastet wird, die auf dem ersten oder zweiten Laufwerk des Trennelements angeordnet sind. Die Stromschiene ist vorzugsweise oben, am Mittelstück der Laufschiene angeordnet und wird durch die an der Oberseite des ersten oder zweiten Laufwerks angeordneten Stromabnehmer abgetastet.For supplying energy to the electric motor, a bus bar extending in the longitudinal direction of the running rail is arranged within the running rail and is scanned by current collectors which are arranged on the first or second drive of the separating element. The busbar is preferably arranged at the top, on the center piece of the track rail and is scanned by the current collector arranged on the top side of the first or second drive.

Eine mit den Stromabnehmern und dem Elektromotor verbundene Steuereinheit, der über die Stromschiene Steuersignale zuführbar sind, ist auf dem ersten oder zweiten Laufwerk angeordnet und vorzugsweise darin integriert.A control unit connected to the pantographs and the electric motor, which can be supplied with control signals via the busbar, is arranged on the first or second drive and is preferably integrated therein.

Figur 1 zeigt nachstehend die aus [5] bekannte Antriebsvorrichtung mit zwei in einer Laufschiene 1 auf einer Lauffläche 1001 geführten Laufwerken 100a, 100b, welche mittels Verbindungsschrauben 74, Schraubenmuttern 75 und Nutensteinen 5 mit einem Tragprofil 2 verbunden sind, durch das ein Trennelement 3 gehalten ist. Die in Schnittdarstellung gezeigte Laufschiene 1 weist ein Mittelstück 1030 und zwei Seitenstücke 1010, 1020 auf, die ein U-Profil bilden. In Figur 1 ist das zweite Seitenstück 1020 weggeschnitten. FIG. 1 shows the drive device known from [5] with two guided in a track rail 1 on a tread 1001 drives 100a, 100b, which are connected by means of connecting screws 74, nuts 75 and nuts 5 with a support profile 2 through which a separator 3 is held. The running rail 1 shown in section has a central piece 1030 and two side pieces 1010, 1020, the to form a U-profile. In FIG. 1 the second side piece 1020 is cut away.

Das erste Laufwerk 100a ist mit einem Antriebsmodul 70 verbunden, welches innerhalb des Tragprofils 2 angeordnet ist und darin einen entsprechenden Freiraum benötigt. Das Antriebsmodul 70 umfasst einen von einer Steuereinheit 40 gesteuerten Elektromotor 71 mit einem gegebenenfalls darin integrierten Getriebe 72 sowie ein Winkelgetriebe 73, das einerseits mit der parallel zur Längsachse des Tragprofils 2 ausgerichteten Motorwelle 78 des Elektromotors 71 und andererseits mit einer hohlzylindrischen, die zugehörige Verbindungsschraube 74 umfassenden, senkrecht zur Lauffläche 1001 ausgerichteten Antriebswelle 76 verbunden ist. Auf die Antriebswelle 76 ist ein Antriebsrad 25 aufgesetzt, welches in einen Zahnriemen 24 eingreift, der in einer im ersten Seitenstück 1010 der Laufschiene 1 vorgesehenen Antriebsnut 1011 angeordnet ist.The first drive 100a is connected to a drive module 70, which is arranged within the support profile 2 and requires a corresponding clearance therein. The drive module 70 comprises an electric motor 71 controlled by a control unit 40 with an optionally integrated transmission 72 and an angular gear 73, which on the one hand with the parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support profile 2 aligned motor shaft 78 of the electric motor 71 and on the other hand with a hollow cylindrical, the associated connecting screw 74th comprehensive, perpendicular to the tread 1001 aligned drive shaft 76 is connected. On the drive shaft 76, a drive wheel 25 is placed, which engages in a toothed belt 24 which is arranged in a provided in the first side piece 1010 of the track rail 1 drive groove 1011.

Das zweite Laufwerk 100b ist mit Stromabnehmern 33, 34 versehen die mittels Kontakten 35 die Leiter 22, 23 einer Stromschiene 21 abtasten, welche in einer im zweiten Seitenstück 1020 der Laufschiene 1 vorgesehenen Stromschienennut 1021 angeordnet ist (siehe auch Figur 6). Die Verbindung der anhand von Federn 36 gestützten Kontakte 35 mit der Steuereinheit 40, mittels der über die Stromschiene 21 übertragene Signale decodiert und elektrische Energie entsprechend gewandelt werden, erfolgt über eine Anschlussplatte 37 und innerhalb des Tragprofils 2 verlegte Verbindungskabel (nicht gezeigt).The second drive 100b is provided with pantographs 33, 34 which scan, by means of contacts 35, the conductors 22, 23 of a busbar 21, which is arranged in a busbar groove 1021 provided in the second side piece 1020 of the running rail 1 (see also FIGS FIG. 6 ). The connection of the contacts 35 supported by springs 36 to the control unit 40, by means of which the signals transmitted via the bus bar 21 are decoded and electrical energy converted accordingly, takes place via a connection plate 37 and connection cables (not shown) laid inside the support profile 2.

Die Nachteile dieser Vorrichtung, insbesondere der Bedarf eines Tragprofils 2 mit entsprechendem Raumvolumen, die durch das Winkelgetriebe 73 verursachten Transmissionsverluste sowie der aufwändige Aufbau der Vorrichtung wurden einleitend beschrieben.The disadvantages of this device, in particular the need for a support profile 2 with a corresponding volume of space, which caused by the angular gear 73 Transmission losses and the complex structure of the device were described in the introduction.

Figur 2 zeigt in vorzugsweiser Ausgestaltung eine erfindungsgemässe Antriebsvorrichtung für ein verschiebbares und dreh- und parkierbares Trennelement 3, das mittels punktuell vorgesehenen Montagevorrichtungen 80, wie sie in [6] beschrieben sind, mit einem ersten und einem zweiten Laufwerk 10a, 90 verbunden ist. Die in Figur 1 gezeigte Profilleiste 2 wird daher nicht benötigt; kann beispielsweise mit reduzierten Abmessungen jedoch ebenfalls verwendet werden (siehe Figur 6). FIG. 2 shows in a preferred embodiment of an inventive drive device for a movable and rotatable and parkable separating element 3, which is connected by means of selectively provided mounting devices 80, as described in [6], with a first and a second drive 10a, 90. In the FIG. 1 shown profile strip 2 is therefore not needed; however, may also be used with reduced dimensions, for example FIG. 6 ).

Das erste Laufwerk 10a ist mit einem senkrecht zwischen den Tragrollen 11, 12 angeordneten, einen Stator 181 und einen Rotor 182 aufweisenden Elektromotor 18 versehen, dessen Motorwelle 183 mit einer Antriebswelle 60 drehfest gekoppelt ist. Der Körper 17 des ersten Laufwerks 10a dient somit gleichzeitig zum Halten von Trag- und Führungsrollen 11, 12, 13, 14 (siehe Figur 5) sowie als Halterung für den senkrecht zur Laufrichtung des Laufwerks 10a angeordneten Elektromotor 18, wodurch ein kompakter Aufbau des ersten Laufwerks 10a erzielt wird.The first drive 10a is provided with a vertically disposed between the support rollers 11, 12, a stator 181 and a rotor 182 having electric motor 18, the motor shaft 183 is rotatably coupled to a drive shaft 60. The body 17 of the first drive 10a thus serves at the same time for holding support and guide rollers 11, 12, 13, 14 (see FIG. 5 ) and as a holder for the perpendicular to the running direction of the drive 10 a arranged electric motor 18, whereby a compact construction of the first drive 10 a is achieved.

In der in Figur 2 gezeigten vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung ist ein Elektromotor 18 in das erste Laufwerk 10a eingesetzt, in dessen Motorengehäuse 180 ein Getriebe 19 integriert ist, mittels dessen das auf ein Antriebsrad 24 übertragene Drehmoment bedarfsgemäss eingestellt ist. Das Antriebsrad 24 greift dabei, wie in Figur 6 gezeigt, in einen innerhalb der Laufschiene 1 vorgesehenen Zahnriemen 24 ein.In the in FIG. 2 shown preferred embodiment, an electric motor 18 is inserted into the first drive 10a, in the motor housing 180, a transmission 19 is integrated, by means of which the torque transmitted to a drive wheel 24 is adjusted as needed. The drive wheel 24 engages, as in FIG. 6 shown in a provided within the guide rail 1 timing belt 24 a.

Zur Aufnahme und zum Halten des Elektromotors 18 weist das erste Laufwerk 10a zwei miteinander verschraubbare Teile 178, 179 auf, zwischen denen der Elektromotor 18 montiert wird. An Verbindungsstellen der beiden Teile 178, 179 sind vorzugsweise Lagerschalen vorgesehen, welche Achslager 173 bzw. Achs- und Stützlager 174 bilden, die der Lagerung der Motorwelle 183 und/oder der Antriebswelle 60 dienen. Selbstverständlich kann der Körper des ersten Laufwerks 10a jedoch auch einstückig gefertigt sein.For receiving and holding the electric motor 18, the first drive 10a has two parts 178, 179 which can be screwed together, between which the electric motor 18 is mounted. At joints of the two parts 178, 179 are Preferably bearing shells provided which axle bearings 173 and axle and support bearings 174 form, which serve to support the motor shaft 183 and / or the drive shaft 60. Of course, the body of the first drive 10a, however, also be made in one piece.

Zum Halten des Trennelements 3 ist eine Befestigungsvorrichtung mit einem von der Montagevorrichtung 80 gehaltenen, schraubenförmigen Befestigungselement 50 und einem Verbindungsteil 52 vorgesehen, welches drehbar mit der Antriebswelle 60 verbunden ist. Dazu weist die Antriebswelle 60 einen Flansch 61 auf, der innerhalb eines im Verbindungselement 52 vorgesehenen Lagerraums 521 mittels Lagerelementen 62 drehbar gehalten ist. Drehungen der Trennelemente, beispielsweise beim Durchlaufen gekurvter Schienenbereiche, beim Falten einer durch die Trennelemente gebildeten Trennwand oder beim Parkieren der Trennelemente, können daher ungehindert erfolgen.For holding the separating element 3, a fastening device is provided with a screw-shaped fastening element 50 held by the mounting device 80 and a connecting part 52 which is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 60. For this purpose, the drive shaft 60 has a flange 61, which is rotatably held within a provided in the connecting element 52 storage space 521 by means of bearing elements 62. Rotations of the separating elements, for example when passing through curved rail areas, when folding a dividing wall formed by the dividing elements or when parking the dividing elements, can therefore take place unhindered.

Die vom Trennelement 3 auf die Antriebswelle 60 einwirkende Last wird mittels eines zweiten an der Antriebswelle 60 angeordneten Flanschs 63 auf den Körper 17 des ersten Laufwerks 10a übertragen. Dazu ist der Körper 17 mit einem Stützlager 174 und darin angeordneten Lagerelementen 64 versehen, auf denen der Flansch 63 abgestützt ist. Auf die Motorwelle 183, des Elektromotors 18, die mittels eines eigenen Flanschs 185 an den zweiten Flansch 63 der Antriebswelle 60 angekoppelt ist, werden daher keine Kräfte verursacht durch das von den Laufwerken 10a, 10b getragene Trennelement 3 übertragen, so dass der Elektromotor 18 einfach, im wesentlichen drehfest montiert werden kann. Möglich ist ferner die Lagerung der Motorwelle 183 unterhalb, analog zur gezeigten Lagerung des Flanschs 63, oder oberhalb des Elektromotors 18, was insbesondere bei einstückiger Ausführung der Motorwelle 183 und der Antriebswelle 60 besonders vorteilhaft ist. Die vom Trennelement 3 ausgeübten Kräfte werden in diesem Fall über die Motorwelle 183 auf den Körper 17 des ersten Laufwerks 10a übertragen.The load acting on the drive shaft 60 by the separating element 3 is transmitted to the body 17 of the first drive 10a by means of a second flange 63 arranged on the drive shaft 60. For this purpose, the body 17 is provided with a support bearing 174 and disposed therein bearing elements 64, on which the flange 63 is supported. On the motor shaft 183, the electric motor 18, which is coupled by means of its own flange 185 to the second flange 63 of the drive shaft 60, therefore no forces are caused by the carried by the drives 10 a, 10 b separator 3 transmitted, so that the electric motor 18 easy , Can be mounted substantially rotatably. Also possible is the bearing of the motor shaft 183 below, analogous to the shown bearing of the flange 63, or above the electric motor 18, which is particularly in one-piece design of the motor shaft 183 and the Drive shaft 60 is particularly advantageous. The forces exerted by the separator 3 forces are transmitted in this case via the motor shaft 183 on the body 17 of the first drive 10a.

Die Stromversorgung der Antriebsvorrichtung erfolgt wie bei dem in Figur 1 gezeigten System mittels einer in der Laufschiene 1 vorgesehenen Stromschiene 21, welche durch Kontakte 35 von Stromabnehmern 33, 34 abgetastet wird, die mit einer Steuereinheit 40 verbunden sind, welche innerhalb der Laufschiene 1 auf dem zweiten Laufwerk 90 angeordnet und mittels innerhalb der Laufschiene 1 geführten Verbindungsleitungen an die Antriebsvorrichtung angeschlossen ist. Diese Art der Stromversorgung ist für Systeme mit parkierbaren Trennelementen jedoch weniger geeignet. Wie nachstehend in Verbindung mit den Figuren 7 und 8 beschrieben, werden die Stromabnehmer 33, 34 vorzugsweise auf dem ersten Laufwerk 10a angeordnet.The power supply of the drive device takes place as in the FIG. 1 shown system by means provided in the track rail 1 busbar 21 which is scanned by contacts 35 of current collectors 33, 34 which are connected to a control unit 40 which is disposed within the track rail 1 on the second drive 90 and guided by means within the track rail 1 Connecting lines is connected to the drive device.
