Abstract

The guide rail (100) has two side elements (130) extending along a preset traverse path and arranged at a distance to each other. An intermediate element (120) extending along the traverse path, is formed from a poor heat conductive material and arranged between the side elements. The side elements form a recess together with the intermediate element, where the recess is formed to guide a movable wing (2) i.e. sliding wing, along the traverse path and turned towards the wing. A roller (6) is guided on a running rail (110). An independent claim is also included for a wing system comprising a guide rail.

Description

The invention relates to a guide rail for a movable along a travel wings, in particular sliding door, and wing systems equipped with it.

Thermally insulating guide rails for moving along a travel wings are for example from the DE 110 2007 003 904 A1 known. Therein, for example, a threshold is disclosed, which consists of two parts, between which a thermal insulation is arranged. In a recording of the thermal insulation, a roller guide is used, on which rolls out a role of a wing. In order to accommodate the weight of the sash, according to a variant, the roller guide rests in regions on areas of thermal separation which rests on the respective sill part. Ie. the sash weight is transferred to the respective ground sill part. Ie. the thermal separation must be designed so that the sash weight is at least partially derived in the bottom threshold parts. Alternatively, a thermal break is specified, which must accommodate the entire sash weight. For this purpose, it is provided that the thermal separation has a cavity in which a strut is formed, which is formed parallel to the wing plane, extending along the longitudinal extent of the thermal separation and the second part of the cavity. What happens at an uneven distribution of the sash weight on the thermal separation is not recognizable. It may be that the thermal separation is deformed such that it is compressed vertically in the region of one of the cavities, which can impair the reliability. Both types of sill have the disadvantage of being only for underside roller-mounted wings are suitable, wherein the axes of rotation of the rollers of such wings extend transversely to the wing plane.

The object of the invention is to reduce the aforementioned disadvantages at least.

This object is solved by the subject matter of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

A guide rail according to the invention has two side elements which extend along the travel path and are spaced from each other. The guide rail further includes an intermediate member which also extends along a predetermined travel path and is formed of a poorly heat-conductive material. It is arranged between the two side elements and preferably attached to two opposite, opposite sides to the side elements. The side elements form with the intermediate element a recess which is designed to guide a movable part, for example a sliding leaf, along this travel path and is designed to face the movable part. Since the side elements do not contact each other, the intermediate element can realize a heat decoupling between the side elements. It is thus possible to reduce the number of possible thermal bridges that can exist between two spaces which are to be thermally insulated from one another and between which the guide rail is to be arranged. In the context of the invention, thermal insulation means a limited or full-blown, ie practically without heat loss, realized thermal separation of two rooms from each other or a thermal insulation or thermal insulation effect between these two spaces. Because the recess is the guide takes over, the side elements can take over the leadership of the movable part. The movable part does not necessarily have to have roles that must be performed on a separately designed roller guide. Furthermore, the rollers can also roll on the side elements. The advantage is therefore that this type of guide rail can be used in variously guided parts. Furthermore, the advantages of thermal insulation are maintained. In addition, the number of necessary parts can still be kept very low. In addition, it is possible to make the side elements identical, whereby the number of identical parts can be increased, which is associated with cost savings.

The intermediate element is, viewed in the longitudinal direction, preferably hollow inside. Through the cavity, the thermal insulation effect is improved.

The cavity is preferably provided with a filling of a poorly heat-conductive material. Suitable material may be, for example, polystyrene or compressed sealing tape.

The guide rail may be formed as a running rail, along which the movable part is guided. This allows the use of the guide rail, for example, as a sliding leaf floor (guide) rail or ceiling rail, the sliding leaf has rollers that roll on the guide rail, and on which the wing can be supported.

A wing system according to the invention, which typically separates two spaces from each other, has one of the previously indicated guide rails. Furthermore, it has at least one wing, which as movable part is taken guided by the guide rail or stored on this. The guide rail is designed to be thermally insulating in the direction from one of the rooms to the other of the rooms.

The wing is preferably arranged at a distance from the side elements of the associated guide rail. This avoids friction and wear between side panels and wings.

Preferably, the wing is guided by means of rollers and / or at least one sliding or guide piece in the guide rail.

FIG. 1 shows a wing system 1, which has an example as a sliding (door) wing trained along a travel here in the leaf level movable wing 2. The wing 2 comprises a roller 6, which is mounted rolling on a running rail 110. The sliding leaf 2 is preferably formed thermally insulating. The wing unit 1 separates or separates two rooms 7, 8 from each other. Ie. the direction of the wing system 1, if it is a sliding door system, runs from right to left or vice versa in FIG. 1 ,

The running rail 110 is pushed by means of a slot 111 on a corresponding projection 121 of an insulating member 120 in the direction of the method and preferably received by clamping. The insulating member 120 is part of a guide rail 100, which is provided in connection with the running rail 110 to guide the wing 2 along its travel.

Here, on the right and left side of the insulating part 120, two side elements 130 are arranged, which are inserted via corresponding dovetail-like insertion projections 131 into corresponding receiving grooves 122 of the insulating part 120. The guide rail 100 is formed in the example shown as a bottom rail, which is on or in a floor, not shown or inserted.

The insulating member 120 is formed of a poor heat conductive material. The side members 130, however, may be made of any material, such as metal. Since the side members 130 can not contact each other, a first thermally insulating bridge is formed by the interposed insulating member 120. The same applies to the track 110, due to the lack of physical Contact with the side members 130 may also be formed of metal.

The roller (s) 6 of the wing 2 rolls (s) on an exemplary crowned running surface 112 of the running rail 110 and are exemplary rotatably arranged on axes 5, which are mounted in the wing 2.

In the wing 2 brush seals 3 are arranged on the side elements 130 facing surfaces which abut sealingly on a respective one of the side members 130. Thus, the wing 2, the brush seals 3, the side members 130 and the insulating member 120 include a (second) cavity 4, which also acts thermally insulating.

Since the running rail 110 rests exclusively on the insulating part 120, this insulating part 120 must accommodate the weight of the entire wing 2 or the rollers 6. For this reason, it can be provided according to the invention that the insulating part 120, seen in the cross section along the travel path, has a cavity 4, not designated here, in which a filling 123 is introduced. The filling 123, in conjunction with the insulating member 120 and the track rail 110, is capable of receiving the weight of the wing 2. The filling 123 thus prevents the wing 2 can press on the roller 6 and the guide rail 110, the upper portion of the insulating member 120 down. For a safe vertical guidance of the wing 2 is guaranteed.

FIG. 2 shows the guide rail 100 a wing system 1, designed as a ceiling rail. Again, there is a running rail 110, which is now placed on the underside of an insulating part 120 and the wing 2 and its upper roller (s) 6 along the process path again leads into the leaf level. The running rail 110 is in the example shown clipped as locking lugs projections 121 clipped. The latching lugs 121 have a predetermined distance from each other, so that they can be pushed towards each other, if necessary, in order to be able to remove the running rail 110.

The insulating member 120 does not need to support weight in the case of a ceiling rail type. Therefore, no filling must be introduced in the inner cavity 4. In order to improve the stability of the insulating part 120, an X-shaped strut 124 is formed in the region of this cavity 4, so that four (partial) cavities 4 are formed. The cavities 4 improve the thermal insulation effect of the insulating part 120 with respect to the spaces 7 and 8 laterally or below the guide rail 100. Here, too, the wing 2 has brush seals 3, which bear sealingly against the side elements 130.

FIG. 3a shows a wing system 1 according to a third embodiment of the invention. Here, the guide rail 100 is again designed as a bottom guide rail. However, there is no running rail 110 which is placed on the insulating part 120. The interior of the insulating part 120 is preferably left free, so that a cavity 4 is formed here. Of course, it can also be filled with a thermally insulating filling. Again laterally of the insulating part 120 side elements 130 are fixedly mounted. Above the insulating part 120, the mutually facing surfaces of the side elements 130 form guide surfaces or walls 132 for the wing 2 or its running or guide rollers 6 rotatably mounted about a respective vertical axis of rotation 5. The front roller 6 here rolls on the left side element 130, while the rear, hidden roller 6 rolls on the right side member 130. In order to avoid that this area can form a thermal bridge between the side elements 130, 2 brush seals 3 are laterally of the wing arranged, which bear preferably biased above the rollers 6 on the respectively associated side member 130. This creates between the brush seals 3, the side members 130 and the insulating member 120, two additional cavities 4, which are separated by the rotation axes 5 and the rotatably received thereon guide rollers 6 from each other. These two cavities 4 are used for thermal insulation between the rooms 7, 8.

FIG. 3b shows the arrangement of in a view from above in FIG. 3a wherein the brush seals 3 are omitted for the sake of illustration. Here it is particularly easy to see that the upper roller 6 rolls on the guide wall 132 of the right side member 130, while the lower roller 6 rolls on the guide wall 132 of the left side member 130 of the guide rail 100. The isolation part 120 is here below the rollers 6 and the wing 2. Furthermore, the axes of rotation 5 of the guide rollers 6 can be seen and the mutually thermally insulated spaces 7, 8 denotes.

At the other, not shown here, up in FIG. 3b formed end of the wing 2, at least one further roller 6 is provided, which also rolls on the left side member 130. As a result, a tilt-free guidance of the wing 2 in the guide rail 100 is ensured.

FIG. 4 again shows a detail of a wing system 1 according to another embodiment. Here, there are no rollers 6. A not further illustrated wing 2 is taken here by means of a sliding or guide piece 9 in a guide rail 100 according to a fourth embodiment of the invention along a travel here again led into the leaf level. The wing unit 1 separated again two rooms 7, 8 from each other. The guide rail 100 in turn comprises two side elements 130, which, seen in cross-section, are folded several times.

Each side member 130 comprises in the upper end region in each case a support leg 133 which is placed on a floor, not shown, and screwed for example with this. For this purpose, the support legs 133 are laterally in FIG. 4 further than the other area of the side members 130 and the guide rail 100th

The protrusion of the support legs 130 has another advantage. If the guide rail 100 is to be inserted directly into the ground, a groove-like receptacle must be formed in it, for example by means of milling. As a result, gaps between bottom receptacle and wall sections 135 and 138 are usually formed at least in sections. The support legs 130 bridge over these gaps. Thus, the bottom receptacle does not have to be executed as precisely as if the support legs 130 did not protrude laterally in such a way. As a result, the bottom receptacle can be made with less accuracy and thus easier, faster or cheaper.

At facing ends of the support legs 133, two in the direction of the bottom or insulating part 120 extending vertical wall sections connect, which serve as guide walls 132 for the sliding or guide piece 9 of the wing 2. At the lower ends of the wall sections 132, two horizontal wall sections 134 extending away from one another adjoin one another. Support legs 133 and wall sections 132, 134 of the respective side member 130 close to each other away, here in cross-section rectangular, groove-like recesses, the engagement corresponding to a corresponding sections of a non can serve as an image of the ground profile anchored to the ground or of the ground itself.

At the opposite ends of the wall portions 134, two vertical wall sections 135 follow, which are formed by the support legs 133 pioneering. At the thus lower ends of the wall sections 135 are followed by two again horizontal wall sections 136, which are formed to converge and yet are spaced from each other. At the mutually facing ends of the wall sections 136, two fastening sections follow, which are formed as loop-like wall sections 137 by way of example. This results in the respective side member 130 has two upper, downwardly facing insertion projections 140 into which the insulating member 120 is inserted with corresponding, upwardly facing grooves 122. The area of these insertion protrusions 140 is indicated by circles.

These wall sections 137 are followed by two vertical wall sections 138, which extend away from the support limbs 133. At the lower ends of the wall sections 138, two horizontal wall sections 139 adjoin each other, which extend toward one another, bend at their ends facing towards support legs 133 and are spaced from one another. This results in the isolation part 120 insertion protrusions 140, in which the insulating member 120 is inserted with corresponding, downwardly facing grooves 122. To improve the thermal insulation effect, the insulating part 120 in turn has a cavity 4. The insulation part 120, in conjunction with the side elements 130 attached to it and the guide or slider 9, includes an additional, thermally insulating cavity 4.

FIG. 5 shows a wing system 1 with a guide rail 100 according to a fifth embodiment of the invention. In the upper area, the guide rail 100 or the side elements 130 according to the fourth embodiment of the invention is or are designed. However, sections 136 to 139 are missing in the lower section. the lower region consists exclusively of the vertical wall sections 135. The insulating part 120 is in the form of a block-like, rectangular in cross-section part. The insulating member 120 is attached by way of example by gluing to the side members 130, namely on the vertical wall sections 135. Again, between the vertical wall sections 132 of the side members 130, a guide or slider 9 of a wing 2, not shown otherwise taken out.

The invention is not limited to the prescribed embodiments. The above-described rollers 6 and guide rails 100 may be interchanged. Furthermore, each guide rail 100 may also be arranged vertically, for example, a vertical window, d. H. a wing movable along a vertical path of travel, guided and thermally insulated to record.

The rollers 6 in conjunction with the running rail 110 may be replaced by the sliding or guide piece 9 or be combined with it. In the latter case, the axes of rotation 5 of the rollers 6 would preferably extend substantially perpendicular to the guide surfaces of the guide or slider 7.

The brush seals 3 can be exchanged or combined with any other type of seal, for example against sealing lips. Furthermore, such seals may alternatively instead of the wing 2 or additionally be attached to the side members 130 or on the guide or slider 7.

The illustrated attachment of the insulating member 120 by dovetail or gluing can be replaced by any other non-positive and / or positive fastening.

The spherical tread of the rails 110 and / or rollers 6 shown can also be shaped differently, for example, be flat.

The running rail 110 may also be attached to the insulating part 120 by any means of attachment and / or even heat may be poorly conductive.

In relation to FIG. 4 described groove-like recesses can be omitted.

The above-described guide rails 100 or insulating parts 120 can be exchanged with respect to their entire shape or the design of their cavities 4 against each other or combined with each other, provided that the respective stability criteria are met. For example, the in FIG. 2 Ceiling rail also shown as floor guide rail according to FIG. 1 be used.

The more cavities exist between two parts or spaces 7, 8 to be thermally insulated from each other, the better the overall thermal insulation effect. Therefore, it is preferably provided to use in the figures recognizable, provided with the reference numeral 4 or unspecified cavities additional heat-insulating material.

In the case of cavities surrounded by or formed by relatively movable elements 2, 100, the heat-insulating material extends only so far that the relative movement is not hindered. Suitable material is, for example Styrofoam or similar acting material that can be designed to be inserted into the respective cavity according to the figures in the sheet plane. Other material can be precompressed sealing tape. This sealing tape is designed so that it relaxes when rolling up and sticking or gluing on or in the respective, the respective cavity enclosing surfaces and at least partially fills the cavity. When relaxing arise in the sealing tape many bubbles-like cavities that enhance the thermal insulation effect.

In the case of the exemplary in FIG. 1 shown cavity 4 within the insulating member 120 can thereby the heat radiation effect of the usually made of good heat conductive, but physically stable material produced side members 130 to each other, whereby the overall thermal insulation effect is improved.

As a result, an enormously simply constructed, thermal insulating guide rail 100 is provided by the invention, which can be used universally in the case of traversable or movable wings 2 or wing systems 1 equipped therewith.
