Description

The invention relates to a device for pivoting a Hochschwenkwand comprising a Hochschwenkwand, the Hochschwenkwand pivoting pivoting device and the adjacent building parts, wherein the Hochschwenkwand in a closed position a building, such as a garage, or a building part, such as a gable or a pool enclosure, preferably the front , closes and the Hochschwenkwand a drive device or a power storage for pivoting the Hochschwenkwand is assigned such that the Hochschwenkwand from the closed position is pivoted into a position such that the Hochschwenkwand means of the drive device or the energy storage in a double-sided in the upper part of the building or the Building part arranged rail guide is pulled under pivoting the high pivot wall.

Such Hochschwenkwand is from the FR 1173336 A previously known. In this known Hochschwenkwand engages a connected via a fitting approximately at a central height cable, which is connected to a counterweight, on the Hochschwenkwand, so that in this way the Hochschwenkwand can be pivoted from the vertical closed position into its horizontal open position. However, the previously known Hochschwenkwand pivots outwardly in such a way that it protrudes during Verschwenkvorganges on the contour of the adjacent building or part of the building.

From the EP 0027749 A1 is a roll-up door with mutually movable slats previously known, in which a cable on both sides of the lower end of the rolling doors, ie on the respective bottom slat, attacks and thereby the Hochschwenkwand from its closed position in which it is at least largely arranged in a vertical two-sided rail guide, in a closed position can be pivoted, in which the Hochschwenkwand is at least largely arranged in a horizontal rail guide arranged on both sides. To ensure the transition between the vertical and the horizontal rail guide, the two rail guides are connected by a corresponding round arch, so that the arrangement in question must necessarily be designed with a round arch covering lintel, so that the roller shutter in its closed position to the lintel height of the Ceiling of the building or building parts is spaced.

From the US 6,089,304 A is another roller door with mutually movable slats previously known, in which a cable on both sides of the respective lowest slat of the Rolltors attacks to move it from its vertical closed position into a horizontal open position. Again, there is the problem that the transition between the two-sided vertical rail guides is realized on both sides arranged horizontal rail guides by connecting the two rail guides round arch, so that this arrangement must take into account a fall that corresponds approximately to the height of the round arch. Accordingly, this arrangement also presupposes a certain lintel height, wherein in its open position the roller door then has to be spaced approximately at the height of the lintel from the ceiling closing the building or the building part at the top.

Such devices are known, for example, in connection with garage doors. These are usually electric motor drives with which a roller shutter, which is provided with a link device, such as a roller shutter, can be wound around a arranged in the lintel area of the garage roll by means of the electric motor drive.

In an alternative embodiment, it is also known, rigid pivoting walls by means of a corresponding link assembly, which usually has a knee joint, for example by means of a spindle drive, which acts on at least one of the links, to pivot so that the knee joint is bent and further the Hochschwenkwand in a arranged in the upper part of the garage, the building or the building part two-sided rail guide for the rigid raised pivot wall, which are provided on both sides with corresponding corresponding guide elements which engage in the rails, pivoted, and is retracted in the rails, so that as a result the Hochschwenkwand is arranged in the open position more or less parallel to the ceiling of the building or the building part.

It is also known, instead of the electromotive drive to arrange one or more gas springs which pull after initiation of the pivoting process by hand, the respective Weiterverschwenken and finally along the rail guide in the open position.

It is also known, in the event that electromotive drives are used, this in the event that an island supply or off-grid supply is desired or necessary to allocate a power storage and feed this example, with a solar panel arrangement.

Often, the electromotive drive can be controlled by means of a wireless remote control and thus the roller doors or high pivoting walls are opened with the remote control from a defined distance out.

It is therefore basically known from the prior art to open buildings or building parts, which are provided with a Hochschwenkwand, automatically by means of an electric motor drive or a force accumulator.

However, the previously known from the prior art solutions are not suitable for all buildings or building parts or requirements in these areas. The previously known solutions with the rolling doors require a very high Lintel in which the roll for accommodating the roll wall is arranged. The mentioned fall height limits the window height in low buildings and is generally perceived as unattractive. The previously known handlebar arrangements are also out of place with transparent solutions, that is to say about transparent pool enclosures. Ultimately, all previously known solutions do not meet the requirements of an increased design or a transparent solution.

The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device for pivoting a Hochschwenkwand, which represents a filigree and slim solution in the field of architecturally demanding areas, the transparency of the architecture, such as transparent glass or plastic structures, open gables and similar buildings or parts of the building is not impaired and at the same time represents a comfortable, robust and permanently functional solution.

The solution of this problem is achieved with a device having the features of the main claim. Advantageous embodiments of this solution can be taken from the dependent subclaims.

According to the main claim a generic device for pivoting a swing-up wall an electric motor drive or a force accumulator is assigned, which acts via a cable on the rigid Hochschwenkwand, for which purpose one end of the cable is connected to the Hochschwenkwand in a suitable manner and the other end of the cable is connected to the power storage or the drive device. Preferably, in each case a cable pull on each side of the Hochschwenkwand arranged so that a bilateral force is applied to the Hochschwenkwand. By using a cable instead of the handlebar assembly described above a very delicate and with some distance not recognizable power transmission is possible. Such a solution satisfies the increased design demands in the aforementioned range. The use of a cable also offers a further set of advantages, which are explained in more detail below.

In addition, the Hochschwenkwand is assigned on both sides in each case in the outer region and the upper pivoting of Hochschwenkwand in the direction of the building or the building part, ie in each case an inwardly projecting fitting, said fitting has a projecting in the direction of Hochschwenkwandmitte pivot pin. This pivot pin gets in the suit of the drive device or the energy accumulator and the voltage caused by this

Cable with the respective cable into engagement, wherein the cable is arranged relative to the pivot pin further away in the interior of the building or the building and thus the Hochschwenkwand in the region of the attack of the cable over the pivot pin, ie in the upper pivoting range, towards the rear of the building interior is pulled and thereby the pivoting of the swing-high wall is initiated. This is a point deflection of the high pivoting wall in the area of the two-sided attack of the tensioned cable or the tensioned cables.

The pivot pin and the resulting point deflection are also very helpful in the reverse process, ie the closing of the high pivot wall, since the high pivot wall is decelerated once again in the final phase of pivoting to close.

As a result, therefore, by the suit of the cable with comparatively little effort of Verschwenkungsvorgang the high swing wall initiated as intended.

In addition, then the Hochschwenkwand is pulled in a manner yet to be explained in the upper region of the building or the building part to the rear in an open position. In this case, the Hochschwenkwand can be pulled very close to the ceiling for the reasons mentioned behind, since the solution in question manages with an extremely low lintel height.

For this purpose, on both sides of the Hochschwenkwand attacking cables is associated with the realization of a pulley principle a multiple deflection, which leads to a further reduction of the pivoting of the Hochschwenkwand is suitable forces to be used. This is also an advantage of the cable pull solution in question, since the pulley principle is not feasible with rigid handlebar arrangements.

In an advantageous embodiment, the cable is arranged parallel to the rail guide of the vertical pivot wall in an at least largely closed cable guide. The closed cable guide initially has the advantage that the moving parts, so the cables are the eyes, but also possibly deprived of the hands and thus a possible accident hazard is prevented. The closed design of the cable guide also makes a contribution to the avoidance of premature soiling, which could affect the ease of the cable guide, is. The cable guide can be made very slim, so that in this respect the ceiling cable guide the aesthetics in the area of interest demand is maintained.

In an advantageous embodiment can be used as a drive device, an electric motor drive, such as a linear motor.

The electromotive drive is advantageously operated in conjunction with a power storage, which may optionally be associated with a solar panel arrangement for feeding. Such a device can also be operated in isolated mode, ie independent of the mains.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the electric motor drive can be started or stopped remotely, if necessary, also defined intermediate positions be approached with the remote control. Defined intermediate positions mean the pivoting range of the high pivoting wall between the defined closed position and the defined open position.

The control of the electromotive drive is connected to a temperature sensor. As a result, it can be ensured with appropriate programming of the control device that the Hochschwenkwand is easily turned on when exceeding a defined temperature limit. Either by suit of the cable, so a fan position, is approached and after a predetermined time or upon reaching a predetermined temperature, the high pivoting wall is closed again.

In an alternative embodiment, the cable can also be driven by means of a gas spring. After a gas spring is an energy storage, which has more or less a permanently acting force, it makes sense to interpret the force of the gas spring so that it is not sufficient for automatic pivoting of the high pivoting wall, but after the initiation of the pivoting then the automatic retraction of the high pivoting wall in the cover rail arranged close guide rail for the swing can cause. Alternatively, it is also conceivable to design the gas spring with a non-linear force line over the entire spring mechanism of the gas spring, so that the force of the gas spring increases with increasing travel, so that in this way also by a light, manual suit of the first travel can be overcome and in the further the further travel of the gas spring with increased force is covered and thereby the suit of Hochschwenkwand is effected in the intended manner.

The invention will be explained below with reference to two exemplary embodiments, as follows, by way of example according to the enclosed figures. The following embodiments are merely advantageous embodiments of the invention, but without limiting their scope to these specific examples in any way.

FIG. 1 shows a device for pivoting a Hochschwenkwand 1, wherein the Hochschwenkwand 1 is in this illustration, in the closed position. The Hochschwenkwand 1 has in the lower part of a fitting 2 to which a cable 3 attacks, which is arranged relative to the Hochschwenkwand 1 inside the building and is guided parallel to the Hochschwenkwand 1 and is deflected in an upper pivoting area such that it is in a cable guide 4 is arranged parallel to a rail guide 5 for the vertical pivot wall 1. For this purpose, the rail guide 5 is bent in the upper pivoting region 9 downwards, so as to allow an introduction of the pivoted Hochschwenkwand from the vertical rail guide 8 in the horizontal rail guide 5. The cable guide 4 and the parallel rail guide 5 are with proper understanding of the illustration in FIG. 1 each disposed on both sides of the swing-up wall 1, so that the cable 3 engages on both sides of the swing-up wall 1 via the fitting 2. Accordingly, the Hochschwenkwand 1 is also guided in the rail guide 5 on both sides.

Both the cable guide 4, as well as the rail guide 5 are as out FIG. 1 not visible, in the upper region of the closed with the high swing wall 1 building or Building part, such as a pool enclosure, more or less immediately below the roof height arranged. After a crossbar usually runs in this area, they are more or less invisible from the outside.

In addition, the Hochschwenkwand 1 in an upper pivoting range in FIG. 2 Also shown in more detail in the side view, a further fitting 6, which extends from the Hochschwenkwand 1 in the building interior and is provided with a projecting at right angles in the direction of the center of the Hochschwenkwand 1 pivot pin 7. Also, this further fitting 6 and the pivot pin 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the Hochschwenkwand 1, so that both cable guides 4 each extend over this pivot pin 7.

From the detail view in FIG. 2 It can be seen that when by means of the electromotive drive to be explained, the cable 3 is tightened, the Hochschwenkwand 1 in the in FIG. 2 shown upper pivoting area is pulled back towards the interior of the building and thus the pivoting process is initiated. As a result, the Hochschwenkwand 1 is pivoted from a in the closed position parallel to the Hochschwenkwand 1 on both sides of the Hochschwenkwand 1 arranged vertical rail guide 8 in both sides at least approximately horizontally extending rail guide 5, which, as already stated, is arranged more or less immediately below the roof. Here, it is helpful that the horizontally extending rail guide 5 is bent down in the upper pivoting region 9.

For this purpose, the Hochschwenkwand 1 according to the cross-sectional view in FIG. 3 a connected to the swing-up wall 1 angle section 10, which reaches the pivoting of the Hochschwenkwand 1 in the region of the horizontal rail guide 5 with this rail guide 5 intended.

The cross section in FIG. 4 shows the horizontal rail guide 5, which is intended to engage with the angle section 10 in engagement. In this case, in a cable guide 4, a multiple deflection 12 of the cable to realize a pulley principle and thus to reduce over the electric motor drive, here a linear drive 13, to be initiated force realized.

In the present example, the multiple deflection 12 comprises three deflection rollers 14, 14 'and 14 ". The rollers 14 and 14" are shown in FIG FIG. 4 Placed vertically while the guide roller 14 'is arranged horizontally. In this case, the multiple deflector 12 in each cable guide, ie left and right of the high pivot wall 1, respectively arranged. Due to this roller arrangement, the cable is deflected within the cable guide 4 a total of four times. The roles are according to the detailed representations in the FIGS. 5 to 7 , Which show a plan view of the cable guide 4, arranged along the longitudinal extent of the cable guide 4 each spaced from each other.

It can from the top view in FIG. 5 be seen that in the cable guide a linear drive 13 is arranged with a pulling piston 15, said pulling piston 15 is connected to the cable 3. Due to the multiple deflection 12th the ropes and their parallel guide within the rail guide 4, it is possible to realize a required in the range of such pivoting doors 1 total stroke of 2 m, for example, with a piston length of about 50 cm.

An alternative embodiment of the in the FIGS. 1 to 7 shown pivoting device for a Hochschwenkwand 1 is in the FIGS. 8 to 13 shown in the following diagram.

Shows again FIG. 8 a Hochschwenkwand 1 in the closed position, wherein the Hochschwenkwand 1 via a fitting 2 with a cable 3 is engaged. The structure of the pivoting device is analogous to that in the preceding FIGS. 1 to 7 described pivoting device. Shows again FIG. 9 the upper pivoting portion 9 of the pivoting device in a detailed view according to the name IX in FIG. 8 ,

According to the cross-sectional view in FIG FIG. 10 whose course in FIG. 8 With XX, a multiple deflection 12 is realized in this embodiment. Again, the multiple deflection 12 causes a reduction of the expended stroke and the force to be introduced for pivoting the high pivot wall. 1

The differences between those in the FIGS. 1 to 7 and in the FIGS. 8 to 13 illustrated embodiments of the device for pivoting the high pivot wall 1 are in particular in the FIGS. 11 to 13 clear. Instead of the linear drive 13, a gas pressure spring 16 is arranged in the cable guide 4 here. The gas spring 16 is according to the top view in FIG. 11 Seen in the direction of pull before the multiple deflection 12 and acts via a pressure piston 17 on the cable 3 a. In contrast to the linear drive 13, which pulls on the cable guide 3, presses the gas spring 16 via your pressure piston 17, the cable 3 with the cable guide 4 in the pulling direction to the rear.

For a better overall understanding of the overall device is in FIG. 14 shown in a perspective view as an example of a building or a building part of a swimming pool enclosure 20, whose one opening with a pivotable Hochschwenkwand 1 is completed on the front. As can be seen from this perspective view, such pool roofs 20 are usually made as far as possible transparent. It is understood that in such a device, no conventional roller door can be installed with a corresponding lintel height or a corresponding, robust handlebar assembly, as this would completely destroyed the transparent and filigree impression of the overall construction. As a result, the possible inside clear height of the canopy with such a link arrangement would not be realized. Alternative applications of the pivoting device for swinging walls 1 described above are conceivable in the furniture sector or, for example, in open gables of buildings.
