Abstract

In order to further improve the acceptance of wicket doors for use as pedestrian passageways, the invention provides a door leaf (10) having a wicket door (12) and an electromotive door drive assembly (28) for separately electromotive driving movement of a wicket door (18) of the wicket door (12) closed gate (10). Furthermore, a door (50) provided with such a gate (10) is proposed.

Description

The invention relates to a gate with wicket door and a gate provided therewith.

Gates are used to close larger openings in buildings or enclosures, which openings are traversable in particular by two-lane vehicles such as passenger cars or trucks or the like. The gates of these gates are correspondingly large. Gates are often designed as automatic gates or automated with an additional door drive and can be automatically opened and closed in response to a remote control signal or an operator signal applied locally. Depending on the size of the gate, the opening and closing process is more or less expensive, i. he needs time and consumes energy; not least due to heat losses through the open door opening.

For the passage of people there are therefore often in addition to a gate opening or side openings, which are accessible by normal doors.

But it is also already known to integrate in the gate itself a door that can be opened in a pure passage of a single or several people, so that the person passage is made possible without having to open the entire large gate.

Such doors formed in the gate itself are called wicket doors.

Relatively simple is the integration of a wicket door in a rigid door leaf, which is to be moved as a whole, as is the case for example with sliding gates or with lifting gates with rigid gate or tilting or swing gates. But there are also sectional doors, which are formed of a plurality of hinged panels to each other, which pivot in the course of an opening or closing movement during a passage of an arcuate guide relative to each other. Such gates can be equipped with wicket doors, which are also formed of individual panels, which then join in the pivoting of the panels of the remaining Torblattes.

Accordingly, in particular from the publications mentioned below, goals in the training of sectional doors, overhead doors, sliding gates, lifting gates or other gates are known whose gate is provided with a wicket door. These allow a more or less comfortable passage of people.

The DE 88 02 512 U1 relates to a tilt gate which is automatically driven by a door drive and which is provided with a wicket door. Since the open wicket then, if the door would be driven by the door drive, the risk of jamming or jamming and thus the damage to the door, the wicket or the surrounding area threatens, it is known from this document, the opening state of the wicket by means of a Interrogate opening sensor so that a door opening can only be done with closed wicket door. The DE 88 02 512 U1 deals with a guide of a signal cable between the wicket door sensor on the door and a door drive control.

Also the DE 202 20 357 U1 deals with the detection of a closing state of the wicket door before a door movement can take place.

The DE 81 18 678 U1 relates to a fire sliding door with wicket door. As with other fire doors, it is also known in the wicket door of this document to provide a mechanical door closer to always move the wicket from an open position back to the closed position. On the one hand, this serves for fire protection, on the other hand it reduces the likelihood that the wicket door will be open when a door leaf movement is initiated. However, in fire doors usual door closers of Persons who use such a passage, often perceived as annoying, since the door must be opened against a biasing de door closer.

The DE 10 2005 055 152 A1 relates to a tipping door, the whole rigidly movable gate is provided with a wicket door with multiple locking.

Wicket doors have the disadvantage that the stability of the door leaf is impaired by the door opening. In particular, in sectional doors, but also in sliding gates and especially in such gates, which are designed as fire doors, therefore, had to provide sufficient stability, the wicket also have a lower door threshold, so that the wicket has at least one circumferential frame, which is sufficient Stability of the gate ensures. A lower threshold, however, carries the risk of stumbling for passage desiring persons and is therefore also perceived as uncomfortable.

The DE 41 36 155 A1 proposes a solution for rigid sliding gates, in which the wicket door engages positively with additional pins in the closed state in the frame within the door leaf, so as to ensure sufficient stability. This may work for sliding doors, but is difficult for sectional doors to accomplish.

The DE 10 2004 014 182 B4 , which forms the closest prior art, provides a particularly low lower door threshold of the wicket door by a flat rounded profile to avoid a trip threshold for wicket doors of sectional doors. Such a flat rounded profile provides sufficient stability, forms no trip threshold and can be easily run over by rollers of workshop trolleys or wheelchairs. Such doors with wicket doors without trip threshold can thus be used more conveniently than previous wicket doors, so they are becoming more common and can be used more and more than normal passages.

However, even with these sectional doors, which are usually also supplied with door drives, the wicket doors previously adhering further disadvantage that the wicket door must be closed to operate the door. For this purpose, the closing state of the wicket door is usually queried before a Torantriebsbewegung as a criterion to be met. Next, the wicket door is provided with a mechanical door closer that biases the wicket door in the closed position, so that it is always closed when not in use.

The object of the invention is to further improve the technique of the wicket doors so that they can be more widely accepted and can completely replace side doors in terms of ease of passage, and a greater variety of possible passages of the passage of the wicket door can be provided.

This object is achieved by a gate with wicket door according to claim 1.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

A provided with such a gate - preferably automatically driven gate - is the subject of the independent claim.

According to a first aspect, the invention provides a gate with a wicket door and an electromotive door-door drive unit for separately electromotive driving a movement of a wicket door of the wicket door with the door closed.

It is preferred that the door leaf is designed as a wicket-equipped sectional door sash.

It is preferred that the wicket door on the door sill without a threshold or with a flat threshold, the height of which is less than 2 cm, in particular less than 1 cm is formed.

It is preferred that the electromotive door drive unit identifies a door drive attached to the door leaf with the latter during an opening or closing movement of the door leaf in order to move the wicket door leaf.

It is preferred that the electromotive door drive unit comprises a housing, an electric motor accommodated in the housing, in particular designed as an electric geared motor with motor unit and integrated gearbox, and a door drive gearbox for converting a rotational movement of an output shaft of the electric motor into a pivoting movement of the wicket door leaf.

It is preferred that the electromotive door drive unit is associated with a lighting which is designed such that it is turned on in the course of actuation of the door drive unit, and which is designed to illuminate a threshold area of the wicket door.

According to a further aspect, a gate is proposed for opening and closing a passage opening in or on a building or an enclosure with a gate leaf according to one of the previously explained embodiments.

A preferred embodiment of the door comprises a door door drive unit for separately electromotive driving a movement of a wicket door of the wicket door with the door closed.

Preferably, the gate is an automatic gate and has a door operator for driving the door movement, i. the movement of the entire gate.

1. a) einen lediglich in der Stellung "TOR ZU" geschlossenen Kontakt aufweist und bei jeder anderen Stellung des Torflügels außerhalb der Stellung "TOR ZU" unterbrochen ist,
2. b) einen Schleifkontakt, der das elektromotorische Türantriebsaggregat über eine den bewegbaren Torflügel und die ortsfester Rahmenkonstruktion überbrückende elektrisch leitfähige Verbindung mit Energie versorgt, oder
3. c) ein flexibles Kabel zwischen Torflügel und ortsfester Energiequelle aufweist.

It is preferable that a supply for powering the electromotive door drive unit for driving the wicket door movement

1. a) has a contact closed only in the "gate closed" position and is interrupted at any other position of the gate leaf outside the "gate closed" position,
2. b) a sliding contact, which supplies the electromotive door drive unit via a movable gate and the stationary frame structure bridging electrically conductive connection with energy, or
3. c) has a flexible cable between gate and stationary power source.

It is preferred that a supply for the power supply of the electromotive door drive unit for driving the wicket movement comprises a switching power supply for transforming a higher building supply voltage into a lower supply voltage for the electric motor of the electromotive door drive unit, wherein the switching power supply is designed as a separate stationarily mounted next to the gate unit and means a low-voltage connection is to be connected to the moving with the door wing electromotive door drive unit.

It is preferred that the supply and / or the switching power supply are plug-ready with an electrical plug for insertion into a power supply of a building to be provided with the gate.

A particularly preferred embodiment is based on a gate, as in the DE 10 2004 014 182 B4 is described, which has a wicket without trip threshold. This is achieved by a very flat threshold profile, which is additionally preferably rounded. In a preferred embodiment, such a sectional door is also provided with a door drive for moving the wicket door. The door drive is installed in particular driving on the door.

The wicket doors without trip threshold are more and more used as a normal passage. They find particular use in industrial doors in the commercial sector. In particular, in the commercial sector, the passage of the wicket door people also have their hands full, ie they would have to put something to open the wicket. In addition, the known wicket doors are provided with mechanical door closers, so they usually are closed and always move back to their closed position. The person who uses a wicket door must therefore open the door against the biasing force of the door closer. This too is uncomfortable.

Preferably, a door drive is integrated with the door, as in the international application PCT / EP 2013/050025 , of the DE 20 2012 101 391 U1 , of the DE 20 2012 100 171 U1 , of the DE 10 2012 110 914.1 , of the DE 10 2013 106 958.4 and / or the DE 10 2013 107 666.1 shown and written.

Such door drives have an integrated in a door drive housing lighting. In particular, the integrated lighting has the advantage that a small threshold of a pass-through door, which still may remain for reasons of stability, is separately illuminated so as to reduce any remaining inconvenience associated with such a shallow threshold.

In particular, a door drive is used, which is designed for a large-scale industrial series for use in normal home interior doors, with only a drive housing is adapted by its attachment and design to the attachment to the gate. For adapting the housing to the desired appearance of the gate leaf, the aperture technique can be used, as in the DE 10 2013 107 666.1 described and shown.

Such door drives for apartment interior doors are designed for connection to a household power grid, so in Europe usually to about 230 volts AC. Now mechanics, who assemble doors with wicket doors, usually work as locksmiths rather than trained electricians. Thus, even for non-trained electricians assembly is easily possible, can be provided here, a switching power supply, which can be connected with one end to a building power supply with higher AC voltage and at the end of a low supply voltage for an electric motor of the door drive supplies to perform as a separate component, which is fixed in place next to the gate wing fastened.

An introduction of the supply voltage to the moving door drive can be done with the comparable techniques that have been developed for moving door drives (these are door drives whose electric motor unit sits on the door). In the simplest case, a flexible cable between stationary power supply and gate could be laid. However, such cables are quite expensive to produce and expensive to install and can also be mechanically stressed over time so that they are exchanged. Besides, they are ugly to look at.

On the other hand, however, wicket doors can only be operated if the door leaf itself is in the "TOR CLOSED" position. It is therefore sufficient to provide the door drive with energy only when the door leaf is in the "door closed" position. Therefore, a contact element can be provided between gate and stationary power supply, which closes in the "gate closed" position and otherwise opens. For example, contact pins on one of the two elements gate leaf and frame construction in the closed state engage in corresponding receiving heights on the other element. Alternatively, sliding contacts can be provided. So you can avoid a complicated wiring by means of spiral or the like. As a rule, the wicket door drive is only used when the door is closed.

According to one embodiment, the switching power supply of the door drive from the housing and mounted as an external unit next to the gate. This avoids a door leaf wiring with 230 volts.

Preferably, the entire electrical system is ready to be plugged in to the construction site. Thus, the door fitter, who is not a qualified electrician, can make the installation.

The Fig. 1 and 2 show two different embodiments of a gate 10, which is each provided with a wicket 12. The door leaf 10 is formed as a sectional door leaf 14 of several hinged together panels 16. The wicket door 12 has a wicket door leaf 18, which, like the door leaf 10, is formed from a plurality of articulated units-panel segments 20. The wicket door 18 can be rotatably opened with a closed door leaf 10 like a normal room door about a lateral vertical axis. Such doors, which can be opened pivotally about a lateral axis of rotation, for example on hinges or the like, are also referred to in the jargon as revolving doors.

Fig. 3 shows a sectional view through the door leaf 10 in the region of a threshold of the wicket door 12. The door leaf 10 has in this area a final profile 22, which is formed from a very flat metal section 24 with rounded portions. At this end profile, a part of the closing edge 25 of the gate 10 is formed.

For more details on the construction of the door leaf 10 and the mechanical construction of the wicket door 12 is expressly to the DE 10 2004 014 182 B4 as well as on the company brochure "Industrie - Sectionaltore" of the Hörmann KG sales company, with the imprint "Stand 11.2012 / Druck 12.2012 / HF86465 de / G.xxx", published over the internet under www.hoermann.com, see there in particular pages 38 to 41, referenced.

The door leaf 10 further has a wicket door drive 26 with an electromotive door drive unit 28 for driving the separate opening and / or closing movement of the wicket door 18.

The wicket door drive 26 is designed as a revolving door drive and is housed in a housing 30 which in Fig. 5 is shown individually. The housing 30 is mirror-symmetrical and can be used for left and right opening wicket doors. The housing 30 is in a manner not shown, For example, by screws on which the wicket door 12 above bordered panel portions of the gate 10 mounted on the door leaf 10 ride. In the housing 30 is an electric motor 32, which is designed as a DC motor with integrated gear - electric geared motor - and via a door drive gear 36 in the form of a modular drive gear in the housing 30 an actuating arm 34 rotatably drives. As is known in the case of revolving door drives, the actuating arm 34 can, for example, slide on the wicket door leaf 18 in a sliding guide or engage on the wicket door leaf 18 via a second articulated lever (not shown).

For more details of the design of the wicket door drive 26 is expressly to the explanations and illustrations in the earlier filed patent applications PCT / EP 2013/050025 . DE 20 2012 101 391 U1 . DE 20 2012 100 171 U1 . DE 10 2012 110 914 . DE 10 2013 106 958.4 and DE10 2013 107 666.1 directed.

In Fig. 4 the opened wicket door 18 is shown with the actuating arm 34 of the wicket door drive 26 in the open state.

Fig. 6 shows the schematic diagram of the wicket door drive with housing 30, electromotive door drive unit 28, electric motor 32, door drive gear 36 and actuator arm 34th

Further, the wicket door drive 26 has integrated lighting 38 which, as shown in FIG Fig. 4 indicated at 40, the remaining flat door threshold of the end profile 22 illuminated.

Fig. 7 shows a gate 50 provided with the gate 50, the door leaf 10 with wicket door 12 and wicket door drive 26, a conventional frame construction 52 for sectional doors for guiding and weight balancing the gate 10 and electrical modules 54 has. In particular, the electrical modules 54 provide a supply 56 for powering the wicket door drive 26. In particular, as electric modules 54, a door drive control 58 for a in FIG. 8 illustrated door drive 60 of the door 50 and a switching power supply 62 for the wicket door drive 26 shown. Next is an operating unit 40 with a first stationary button 42 for actuating the door drive 60, a second fixed button 43 for operating the wicket door drive 26, and a remote control 44, by means of the radio either the door 50 or the wicket door are fernzubedienen. Further, a traveling button 74 is provided adjacent to the wicket door to operate it.

The switching power supply 62 is provided with a power plug 64 which can be inserted into a conventional grounded power outlet. The switching power supply is provided for transforming the usual voltage of 230 volts to a lower supply voltage for the electric motor 32 designed as a DC motor. This lower supply voltage is conducted via a stationary line 66 to the frame construction 52 and there to a fixed electrical connector element of a contact connector 70 of the supply 56. The contact connector 70 further has a moving electrical connecting element 72 attached to the door leaf 10, which is complementary to the contacting with the stationary electrical connecting element 68 in such a way that the connecting elements 68, 72 make contact with the door leaf 10 when the gate leaf 10 retracts and when leaving the door leaf 10 of the position "door closed" from each other. For this purpose, different possible connector elements are conceivable, which are known per se, for example, elastic contact tongues (not shown) detect each other.

The wicket door drive 26, like other revolving door drives, can be actuated by stationary doors. So very different actuation mechanisms are conceivable, for example, motion detectors that detect an approach of people and automatically exercise a wicket door function or remote control signals or buttons.

In the Fig. 8 is an operation by means of a button 42, 74 indicated. The wicket door drive 26 is preferably equipped with a sensor (not shown) for detecting the door position "door to" the wicket door 18. The Presence of this position may be provided to a door drive drive controller 58 by a controller integrated in the wicket door drive 26. The door drive control 58 can thus - as is well known from the introductory cited prior art - prevent door travel when the wicket door 12 is open.

Overall, thus, the convenience of the passage through a wicket door 12 of a door leaf 10 can be further improved significantly, so that wicket doors continue to find greater acceptance for use as passages. As a result, side entrances to buildings, which would otherwise be used as passages, can be saved.
