Definitions
- the invention relates to a hinge for pivoting a door, in particular a door of a shower partition, with the features of the preamble of claim 1, as well as a shower partition with a hinge.
- hinges and shower partitions are already part of the state of the art and are, for example, in the EP 2 687 660 A2 shown.
- the prior art shows a hinge with a raising-lowering mechanism, the door attached to the hinge being raised when the hinge is pivoted from a zero position.
- This lifting of the door has the effect that, for example, a seal on the lower edge of the door does not touch the floor when the door is moved out of the zero position.
- the door lowers again, the seal attached to the door resting on the floor in the zero position of the hinge, thus preventing water from escaping.
- Such hinges have energy accumulators which support the lifting process when the hinge is pivoted out of the zero position.
- transverse forces act on the energy storage device; these transverse forces can lead to the development of noise and also to premature damage to the energy storage mechanism.
- the installation of the energy storage mechanism is often very complicated, since it has to be inserted between a fitting part and a swivel arm. This insertion takes place under pre-tension, which means that the energy storage device has to be pressed together with an aid before it can be placed in the hinge.
- the object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages described above and to provide a hinge and a shower partition with a hinge according to the invention which are improved compared to the prior art.
- the longitudinal axis of the energy store is inclined in the direction of the axis of rotation, the transverse forces which act on the energy store when the hinge parts are pivoted out of the zero position and back in the direction of the zero position are reduced.
- the longitudinal axis is based on the movement of the swivel arm, which also moves inclined to the axis of rotation in the fitting. This takes place along a guide that forms a guide track inclined to the axis of rotation. If this guide track is inclined to the axis of rotation and the longitudinal axis of the energy store is not inclined in the direction of the axis of rotation, the effect of the transverse forces increases when the hinge is pivoted out of the zero position and back into the zero position.
- the door Since the at least one energy store supports a movement of the first fitting relative to the second fitting around the axis of rotation out of the zero position in a direction inclined to the axis of rotation of the swivel joint, then the door is not only lifted when moving out of the zero position, but also a lateral offset of the door.
- the door moves away to the side and is moved parallel to the axis of rotation. In this way, the door is not only raised, but also moved away from a rigid part of the shower partition, such as a wall, to the side.
- the gap between the wall and the door is enlarged.
- the at least one energy store supports a movement of the first fitting relative to the second fitting around the axis of rotation out of the zero position or also back into the zero position in a direction inclined to the axis of rotation of the swivel joint, then not all of the force to open the door has to come from Zero position out or applied back to the zero position by the person using the shower.
- the construction of the hinge is simplified and the force is better distributed in the hinge.
- the hinge can be made more compact. If all the moving parts were in the center of the hinge - for example, arranged around the axis of rotation or in the axis of rotation - the hinge would be complicated in structure and also more prone to errors due to the moving parts lying against one another.
- the at least one energy store counteracts a restoring movement around the axis of rotation of the first fitting relative to the second fitting back into the zero position or out of the zero position, then the The door is braked or damped by the energy storage device when moving back to the zero position or away from the zero position. A sudden fall into the zero position or into an open position is thus prevented.
- the energy store thus not only supports the opening movement but also brakes the closing movement, or vice versa, and thus has a damping effect when moving into the zero position or into the open position.
- the at least one energy storage device supports moving the swivel arm along the guide when the first fitting moves relative to the second fitting around the axis of rotation out of the zero position or a movement back into the zero position, then all can Swivel arm fastened elements are supported by the energy store.
- the swivel arm in the guideway is the link between the two fittings.
- the second fitting part is thus moved in the guide track along the guide track due to the pivot arm as soon as the two fitting parts are pivoted relative to one another.
- the massive swivel arm takes over all the forces that arise.
- the solid design of the swivel arm creates a long-lasting, smooth-running and precisely functioning hinge with a lift-lower function.
- the guide or guideway designed as an inclined surface serves as a ramp along which the swivel arm moves. During the movement along this ramp-like guide, the counterforce increases or decreases due to the energy store.
- the at least one energy store is designed as a spring, preferably a helical spring, a low-maintenance and error-prone energy store is built into the hinge.
- Energy storage devices that are implemented, for example, by gas cylinders or oil cylinders, can leak over a long period of time and their function is no longer guaranteed.
- Energy accumulators which are made from an elastomer, for example, tend to be very temperature-dependent. Furthermore, some of these become porous over time and begin to break. Even then, their function is no longer guaranteed.
- the spring is designed as a compression spring, no complicated suspension has to be provided for this spring.
- a compression spring only needs two surfaces between which the spring is clamped. In the case of a tension spring, the ends of the spring would have to be hooked into appropriate holders.
- the design as a compression spring achieves a more compact design and a long-lasting and reliable function.
- the at least one energy storage device is located in a casing, the energy storage device being mounted movably along its longitudinal axis in the casing at least in sections, a separation between the energy spokes and the surrounding elements of the fitting part is produced.
- the energy store itself can therefore not produce any frictional forces between the fitting part and the energy store.
- the energy store therefore does not rub against the fitting.
- the penetration of impurities into the energy storage device can also be prevented. Deposits such as lime or the like can influence or prevent the function of the energy storage mechanism. Impurities could also lead to the development of noise when the hinge is pivoted.
- the introduction of the energy store into the fitting is also simplified.
- the energy storage device is designed as a helical spring, for example, it could deflect transversely to its longitudinal axis when it is inserted into the fitting part if it is preloaded. However, if the energy storage device is encased, it is not possible to evade the longitudinal axis of the energy storage device during pretensioning.
- the cover is formed by a sleeve with a cavity, the energy storage device corresponding in its outer shape and dimension with the shape and dimension of the cavity of the cover and at least partially protruding from at least one opening of the cover, then a play-free movement of the energy storage device in the direction not possible across its longitudinal axis.
- This play-free guidance of the energy storage mechanism prevents, for example, the development of noise.
- it can be prevented that the energy storage device moves into a different position in the course of prolonged use of the hinge and that the force on the swivel arm and the second fitting part is no longer guaranteed. The function would therefore no longer be given.
- the precisely fitting cover also prevents incorrect placement when installing the lift mechanism.
- the length of the at least one energy store can be changed by an adjusting element, the length being a preload length before the energy store is installed in the hinge and can be changed to an installation length in the installed state, then the energy store is along its longitudinal axis between the second fitting part and taken by the swivel arm.
- the preload of the energy store in the installed state and / or also in the removed state can be changed by an adjustment element.
- the pretensioning force of the energy store depends on the weight of the door attached to it or on the preference for operating the shower. If this would like to have a door that can be easily pivoted, the pre-tensioning force is increased. This must also be done as soon as a heavy door is installed - for example a door made of glass.
- the energy storage mechanism can be inserted into the hinge in its maximum length (preload length) in the relieved state and can only be preloaded when it is in it. This makes the assembly of the energy storage device much easier, as it does not have to be inserted into the hinge in a pretensioned manner.
- the adjusting element is formed by a screw
- the adjusting element can be adjusted by specialist personnel using conventional tools.
- the screw has a receptacle for, for example, a screwdriver or an Allen key.
- the swivel arm has at least one inclined surface for receiving the energy storage device, the inclined surface extending essentially orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the energy storage device and being inclined to the axis of rotation, the transverse forces in the contact area between the energy storage device and the swivel arm are reduced. Furthermore, the introduction of the energy store between the swivel arm and the second fitting part is simplified. These effects are also supported albeit that Fitting part has at least one inclined surface for receiving the energy storage device, the inclined surface extending substantially orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the energy storage device and being inclined to the axis of rotation.
- the longitudinal axis of the energy storage device deviates from the axis of rotation of the rotary joint at an angle of between 5 ° and 40 °, preferably 8 ° and 30 °, particularly preferably between 10 ° and 20 °, there is not so great a difference between the angle of the Longitudinal axis and the axis of rotation.
- Fig. 1 shows a hinge 100 with a first fitting part 1 and a second fitting part 2.
- the second fitting part 2 is closed with the guide 5 by a cover.
- This cover cannot be seen in the figures, since the inner workings of the hinge 100 would otherwise not be visible.
- the cover prevents the ingress of splash water and Contamination into the interior of the fitting parts 1, 2.
- the first fitting part 1 is connected to the second fitting part 2 via a swivel arm 6.
- This pivot arm 6 has a swivel joint 3, which in the oblique view Fig. 1 is not apparent.
- the axis of rotation 4 formed by the swivel joint 3 has been shown schematically in FIG Fig. 1 drawn.
- the first fitting part 1 can pivot relative to the second fitting part 2 about this axis of rotation 4. This takes place from a zero position N.
- the position shown of the hinge 100 corresponds to the zero position N. If the hinge 100 is moved out of the zero position N, the swivel arm 6 moves along a guide 5 which forms a linear guide track 51. This linear guide track 51 inclines towards the axis of rotation 4.
- the pivot arm 6 is displaced along the linear guide track 51. Since this linear guideway 51 inclines towards the axis of rotation 4, a superimposed movement occurs during the pivoting of the first fitting part 1 relative to the second fitting part 2.
- the pivot arm 6 slides upwards along the linear guideway 51, with the first fitting part 1 moving away from the second Fitting part 2 is removed in a direction of movement at right angles to the axis of rotation 4. Not only a horizontal offset, but also a vertical offset of the door 101 is achieved.
- the pivot arm 6 slides along the linear guide track 51 not only to the side, but also upwards. This upward sliding causes the first fitting part 1 to move relative to the second fitting part 2 in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation 4.
- the two superimposed movements in the vertical and horizontal axis cause the first fitting part 1 to move obliquely relative to the second fitting part 2 when the first fitting part 1 is pivoted relative to the second fitting part 2.
- This movement is supported by an energy store 7, which is located between the second fitting part 2 and the pivot arm 6 is located.
- the energy store 7 is additionally held and preloaded by an adjusting element 9. By adjusting the Adjusting element 9, the spring force or pretensioning force of the energy store 7 can be changed.
- Fig. 2 shows an exploded view of the hinge 100.
- the second fitting part 2 has a recess which at least partially corresponds to the outer contour of the pivot arm 6.
- the swivel arm 6 is inserted into this and then positively positioned by the guide 5 and guided in a diagonal between vertical and horizontal offset.
- the second fitting part 2 has a fastening section 22 in which the adjusting element 9 is inserted.
- the fastening section 22 can be designed as a thread, for example, the adjusting element 9 as a corresponding screw element. If the adjusting element 9 in the form of a screw is rotated inward - that is, clockwise - the preload of the energy store 7 is increased.
- the pivoting back into the zero position N or from the zero position into an open position - depending on the design of the hinge 100 - can be reinforced. If the adjusting element 9 is unscrewed counterclockwise, the spring preload of the energy accumulator 7 is reduced and thus also the support of the pivoting back into one of the positions. In the installed state, the energy store 7 is held in its position by the underside of the adjusting element 9. On the opposite side of the energy storage mechanism 7, it is held by a holding element 21 which is located on the pivot arm 6 or is formed by the latter. Accidental escape of the energy storage device 7 from this position is prevented by this measure.
- the preload length LKV can be inserted between the pivot arm 6 and the fitting part 2, is held by the holding element 21 and then positioned by the adjusting element 9 and adjusted to the installation length LKE (see Fig. 4 ) is preloaded.
- Fig. 3 shows an example from the prior art.
- the longitudinal axis LA of the energy store 7 is parallel to the in Fig. 3 not shown axis of rotation 4 aligned.
- the energy store 7 is compressed.
- transverse forces arise because the energy store 7 makes contact at its upper end with a rigid component of the second fitting part 2 and is mounted in a movable element in the lower area.
- the energy store 7 rubs when the swivel arm 6 is moved along a surface of the second fitting part 2, which leads to transverse forces and thus, under certain circumstances, to the development of noise.
- the energy store 7 can be damaged after a long period of use.
- the installation of the energy storage device 7 also proves to be more difficult than in the case of the hinge 100 according to the invention, since the pre-tensioning of the energy storage device 7 has to be established by an external aid prior to installation due to the lack of adjusting element 9.
- Fig. 4 shows the hinge 100 in a zero position N.
- the hinge 100 consists of the two fitting parts 1, 2.
- the guide 5 with the guide track 51 is formed.
- the pivot arm 6 moves along this guide track 51. This is only in FIG Fig. 5 evident.
- the energy store 7 presses the swivel arm 6 along the guide 5 and the guide track 51 in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation 4. This reduces the distance between the first fitting part 1 and the second fitting part 2.
- both fitting parts 1, 2 are brought to the same horizontal plane. Depending on the bias of the energy store 7 by the adjusting element 9, this effect is supported more or less.
- the longitudinal axis LA of the energy store 7 is inclined towards the axis of rotation 4.
- the energy store 7 can compensate for the radially acting forces more easily than as in FIG Fig. 3 to the state of the art.
- the angle of the longitudinal axis LA of the energy store 7 deviates by a value of between 5 ° and 40 °, preferably 8 ° and 30 °, particularly preferably between 10 ° and 20 ° from the angle of the axis of rotation 4 of the swivel joint 3.
- the energy store 7 is arranged between the inclined surfaces 10, 11.
- the inclined surface 10 is formed by the swivel arm 6, the inclined surface 11 by the fitting part 2.
- the adjusting element 9 is adjustable at a right angle to the inclined surface 11.
- the energy storage device 7 will contact the inclined surface 11.
- Fig. 5 shows a hinge 100 in a state pivoted out of the zero position N.
- the first fitting part 1 has been pivoted relative to the second fitting part 2 about the axis of rotation 4 of the swivel joint 3.
- the swivel arm 6 plays an essential role here, since it supports the first fitting part 1 from the second fitting part 2. During the pivoting about the axis of rotation 4 and this support, the pivoting arm 6 therefore moves along the guide track 51.
- the energy store 7 counteracts this force. This means that in this exemplary embodiment the energy storage mechanism 7 supports pivoting back into the zero position N of the hinge 100.
- This casing 8 prevents direct contact between the surrounding elements and the energy accumulator 7. This can have a positive effect on the development of noise or even when guiding the energy store 7.
- a casing 8 is not absolutely necessary.
- Fig. 6 shows a shower partition 110 with at least one hinge 100 for pivoting the door 101 relative to a wall 102.
- the door 101 is pivoted, it is raised or the gap between the door 101 and the wall 102 is enlarged.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Scharnier zur Verschwenkung einer Tür, insbesondere einer Tür einer Duschabtrennung, mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Anspruches 1, sowie eine Duschabtrennung mit einem Scharnier.The invention relates to a hinge for pivoting a door, in particular a door of a shower partition, with the features of the preamble of
Derartige Scharniere und Duschabtrennungen zählen bereits zum Stand der Technik und werden beispielsweise in der
Das Dokument
Der Stand der Technik zeigt ein Scharnier mit einem Hebe-Senkmechanismus , wobei die am Scharnier angebrachte Türe beim Verschwenken des Scharniers aus einer Nulllage heraus angehoben wird. Dieses Anheben der Türe bewirkt, dass beispielsweise eine Dichtung an der Unterkante der Türe nicht am Boden streift, wenn die Türe aus der Nulllage herausbewegt wird. Während dem Schließvorgang senkt sich die Türe wieder, wobei die an der Türe angebrachte Dichtung in der Nulllage des Scharnieres am Boden aufliegt und ein Wasseraustritt somit verhindert wird. Derartige Scharniere weisen Kraftspeicher auf, welche den Hebevorgang beim Verschwenken des Scharniers aus der Nulllage heraus unterstützen. Durch die diagonalen Bewegungen beim Verschwenken der Türe wirken Querkräfte auf den Kraftspeicher ein, diese Querkräfte können zu Geräuschentwicklungen und auch zu vorzeitigen Beschädigungen des Kraftspeichers führen. Weiters ist der Einbau des Kraftspeichers oftmals sehr kompliziert, da dieser zwischen einem Beschlagteil und einem Schwenkarm eingesetzt werden muss. Dieses Einsetzen erfolgt unter Vorspannung, was bedeutet, dass der Kraftspeicher mit einem Hilfsmittel zusammengedrückt werden muss, bevor dieser im Scharnier platziert werden kann.The prior art shows a hinge with a raising-lowering mechanism, the door attached to the hinge being raised when the hinge is pivoted from a zero position. This lifting of the door has the effect that, for example, a seal on the lower edge of the door does not touch the floor when the door is moved out of the zero position. During the closing process, the door lowers again, the seal attached to the door resting on the floor in the zero position of the hinge, thus preventing water from escaping. Such hinges have energy accumulators which support the lifting process when the hinge is pivoted out of the zero position. As a result of the diagonal movements when the door is pivoted, transverse forces act on the energy storage device; these transverse forces can lead to the development of noise and also to premature damage to the energy storage mechanism. Furthermore, the installation of the energy storage mechanism is often very complicated, since it has to be inserted between a fitting part and a swivel arm. This insertion takes place under pre-tension, which means that the energy storage device has to be pressed together with an aid before it can be placed in the hinge.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die vorbeschriebenen Nachteile zu vermeiden und ein gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbessertes Scharnier und eine Duschabtrennung mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Scharnier anzugeben.The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages described above and to provide a hinge and a shower partition with a hinge according to the invention which are improved compared to the prior art.
Dies wird beim erfindungsgemäßen Scharnier durch die Merkmale des Kennzeichens des Anspruches 1 erreicht.This is achieved in the hinge according to the invention by the features of the characterizing part of
Dadurch, dass die Längsachse des Kraftspeichers in Richtung der Drehachse geneigt ist, werden die Querkräfte welche auf den Kraftspeicher wirken beim Verschwenken der Scharnierteile aus der Nulllage heraus und in Richtung der Nulllage zurück reduziert. Die Längsachse ist orientiert an die Bewegung des Schwenkarmes, welcher sich ebenfalls geneigt zur Drehachse im Beschlag bewegt. Dies erfolgt entlang einer Führung, die eine zur Drehachse geneigte Führungsbahn ausbildet. Ist diese Führungsbahn zur Drehachse geneigt und die Längsachse des Kraftspeichers nicht in Richtung der Drehachse geneigt, so verstärkt sich der Effekt der Querkräfte beim Verschwenken des Scharniers aus der Nulllage heraus und in die Nulllage zurück.Because the longitudinal axis of the energy store is inclined in the direction of the axis of rotation, the transverse forces which act on the energy store when the hinge parts are pivoted out of the zero position and back in the direction of the zero position are reduced. The longitudinal axis is based on the movement of the swivel arm, which also moves inclined to the axis of rotation in the fitting. This takes place along a guide that forms a guide track inclined to the axis of rotation. If this guide track is inclined to the axis of rotation and the longitudinal axis of the energy store is not inclined in the direction of the axis of rotation, the effect of the transverse forces increases when the hinge is pivoted out of the zero position and back into the zero position.
Da der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher bei einer Bewegung des ersten Beschlages relativ zum zweiten Beschlag um die Drehachse aus der Nulllage heraus in einer Richtung geneigt zur Drehachse des Drehgelenks unterstützt, dann erfolgt nicht nur ein Anheben der Türe bei einer Bewegung aus der Nulllage heraus, sondern auch ein seitlicher Versatz der Türe. Die Türe entfernt sich dabei auch seitlich und wird relativ zur Drehachse parallel verschoben. Somit wird die Türe nicht nur angehoben, sondern auch seitlich von einem starren Teil der Duschabtrennung, wie Beispielsweise einer Wand, weggeführt. Der Spalt zwischen Wand und Türe wird dabei vergrößert. Durch das Anheben und Wegführen wird also der Kontakt zu stehenden Bereichen in der Umgebung vermieden - Dichtungen schleifen somit nicht im Zuge der Bewegung an feststehenden Körpern und werden somit geschont. Weiters werden Verunreinigungen, welche sich beispielsweise am Boden oder an anderen feststehenden Bereichen der Duschabtrennung befinden, nicht durch die Dichtungen verschmiert.Since the at least one energy store supports a movement of the first fitting relative to the second fitting around the axis of rotation out of the zero position in a direction inclined to the axis of rotation of the swivel joint, then the door is not only lifted when moving out of the zero position, but also a lateral offset of the door. The door moves away to the side and is moved parallel to the axis of rotation. In this way, the door is not only raised, but also moved away from a rigid part of the shower partition, such as a wall, to the side. The gap between the wall and the door is enlarged. By lifting and moving away, contact with standing areas in the environment is avoided - seals do not rub against fixed bodies in the course of movement and are thus protected. Furthermore, impurities that are on the floor or other fixed areas of the shower partition, for example, are not smeared through the seals.
Wenn der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher bei einer Bewegung des ersten Beschlages relativ zum zweiten Beschlag um die Drehachse aus der Nulllage heraus oder auch in die Nulllage zurück in einer Richtung geneigt zur Drehachse des Drehgelenks unterstützt, dann muss nicht die gesamte Kraft zum Öffnen der Türe aus der Nulllage heraus oder in die Nulllage zurück von der Person aufgebracht werden, welche die Dusche benützt.If the at least one energy store supports a movement of the first fitting relative to the second fitting around the axis of rotation out of the zero position or also back into the zero position in a direction inclined to the axis of rotation of the swivel joint, then not all of the force to open the door has to come from Zero position out or applied back to the zero position by the person using the shower.
Wenn die Längsachse des wenigstens einen Kraftspeichers von der Drehachse des Drehgelenks beabstandet ist, dann ist die Konstruktion des Scharniers vereinfacht und die Kraft wird im Scharnier besser aufgeteilt. Das Scharnier kann kompakter gebaut werden. Wären alle beweglichen Teile im Zentrum des Scharniers - beispielsweise um die Drehachse herum oder in der Drehachse angeordnet - so wäre das Scharnier kompliziert im Aufbau und aufgrund der aneinander liegenden, beweglichen Teile auch fehleranfälliger.If the longitudinal axis of the at least one energy store is spaced apart from the axis of rotation of the swivel joint, the construction of the hinge is simplified and the force is better distributed in the hinge. The hinge can be made more compact. If all the moving parts were in the center of the hinge - for example, arranged around the axis of rotation or in the axis of rotation - the hinge would be complicated in structure and also more prone to errors due to the moving parts lying against one another.
Wenn nach erfolgter Verschwenkung des ersten Beschlages um die Drehachse relativ zum zweiten Beschlag aus der Nulllage heraus der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher einer rückstellende Bewegung um die Drehachse des ersten Beschlages relativ zum zweiten Beschlag zurück in die Nulllage oder aus der Nulllage heraus entgegen wirkt, dann wird die Türe beim Zurückbewegen in die Nulllage oder von der Nulllage weg durch den Kraftspeicher gebremst oder gedämpft. Ein schlagartiges Einfallen in die Nulllage oder in eine Offenstellung wird somit verhindert. Der Kraftspeicher unterstützt somit nicht nur die öffnende Bewegung sondern bremst auch die schließende Bewegung ab, oder umgekehrt, und wirkt somit dämpfend bei der Bewegung in die Nulllage oder in die Offenstellung.If, after the first fitting has been pivoted around the axis of rotation relative to the second fitting out of the zero position, the at least one energy store counteracts a restoring movement around the axis of rotation of the first fitting relative to the second fitting back into the zero position or out of the zero position, then the The door is braked or damped by the energy storage device when moving back to the zero position or away from the zero position. A sudden fall into the zero position or into an open position is thus prevented. The energy store thus not only supports the opening movement but also brakes the closing movement, or vice versa, and thus has a damping effect when moving into the zero position or into the open position.
Da der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher bei einer Bewegung des ersten Beschlages relativ zum zweiten Beschlag um die Drehachse aus der Nulllage heraus oder ein Bewegen in die Nulllage zurück ein Bewegen des Schwenkarmes entlang der Führung unterstützt, dann können sämtliche am Schwenkarm befestigte Elemente durch den Kraftspeicher unterstützt werden. Der Schwenkarm in der Führungsbahn ist das Bindeglied zwischen den zwei Beschlagteilen. Der zweite Beschlagteil wird somit aufgrund des Schwenkarmes in der Führungsbahn entlang der Führungsbahn bewegt, sobald die zwei Beschlagteile relativ zueinander verschwenkt werden. Der massive ausgeführte Schwenkarm übernimmt sämtliche Kräfte, die dabei entstehen. Durch eine massive Ausführung des Schwenkarms wird ein langlebiges, leichtläufiges und exakt funktionierendes Scharnier mit einer Hub-Senkfunktion realisiert. Die als Schrägfläche ausgeführte Führung oder Führungsbahn dient dabei als Rampe, entlang welcher der Schwenkarm verfährt. Während des Verfahrens entlang dieser rampenartigen Führung nimmt die Gegenkraft durch den Kraftspeicher zu oder wird diese verringert.Since the at least one energy storage device supports moving the swivel arm along the guide when the first fitting moves relative to the second fitting around the axis of rotation out of the zero position or a movement back into the zero position, then all can Swivel arm fastened elements are supported by the energy store. The swivel arm in the guideway is the link between the two fittings. The second fitting part is thus moved in the guide track along the guide track due to the pivot arm as soon as the two fitting parts are pivoted relative to one another. The massive swivel arm takes over all the forces that arise. The solid design of the swivel arm creates a long-lasting, smooth-running and precisely functioning hinge with a lift-lower function. The guide or guideway designed as an inclined surface serves as a ramp along which the swivel arm moves. During the movement along this ramp-like guide, the counterforce increases or decreases due to the energy store.
Wenn der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher als Feder, vorzugsweise Schraubenfeder, ausgebildet ist, ist ein wartungsarmer und nicht fehleranfälliger Kraftspeicher im Scharnier verbaut. Kraftspeicher, die beispielsweise durch Gaszylinder oder Ölzylinder ausgeführt werden, können über einen längeren Zeitraum undicht werden und deren Funktion ist nicht mehr gewährleistet. Kraftspeicher, welche zum Beispiel aus einem Elastomer hergestellt werden, neigen dazu, sehr temperaturabhängig zu reagieren. Weiters werden diese teilweise mit der Zeit porös und beginnen zu brechen. Auch dann ist deren Funktion nicht mehr gewährleistet.If the at least one energy store is designed as a spring, preferably a helical spring, a low-maintenance and error-prone energy store is built into the hinge. Energy storage devices that are implemented, for example, by gas cylinders or oil cylinders, can leak over a long period of time and their function is no longer guaranteed. Energy accumulators, which are made from an elastomer, for example, tend to be very temperature-dependent. Furthermore, some of these become porous over time and begin to break. Even then, their function is no longer guaranteed.
Wenn die Feder als Druckfeder ausgebildet ist, muss keine komplizierte Aufhängung für diese Feder vorgesehen sein. Eine Druckfeder benötigt nur zwei Flächen, zwischen welche die Feder eingespannt wird. Bei einer Zugfeder müssten die Enden der Feder in entsprechende Halterungen eingehängt werden. Durch die Ausführung als Druckfeder wird eine kompaktere Bauweise erzielt und eine langlebige und sichere Funktion erzielt.If the spring is designed as a compression spring, no complicated suspension has to be provided for this spring. A compression spring only needs two surfaces between which the spring is clamped. In the case of a tension spring, the ends of the spring would have to be hooked into appropriate holders. The design as a compression spring achieves a more compact design and a long-lasting and reliable function.
Wenn der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher sich in einer Umhüllung befindet, wobei der Kraftspeicher entlang seiner Längsachse in der Umhüllung zumindest abschnittsweise beweglich gelagert ist, so wird eine Trennung zwischen den Kraftspeichen und den umliegenden Elementen des Beschlagteiles hergestellt. Der Kraftspeicher selbst kann somit keine Reibkräfte zwischen dem Beschlagteil und dem Kraftspeicher herstellen. Der Kraftspeicher scheuert somit nicht am Beschlagteil. Zudem kann das Eindringen von Verunreinigungen in den Kraftspeicher zusätzlich verhindert werden. Ablagerungen wie zum Beispiel Kalk oder ähnliches können die Funktion des Kraftspeichers beeinflussen oder verhindern. Verunreinigungen könnten ebenfalls zu Geräuschentwicklungen führen, wenn das Scharnier verschwenkt wird. Das Einführen des Kraftspeichers in das Beschlagteil wird zudem vereinfacht. Wird der Kraftspeicher beispielsweise als Schraubfeder ausgebildet, so könnte diese beim Einführen in das Beschlagteil quer zu ihrer Längsachse ausweichen, wenn sie vorgespannt wird. Ist jedoch eine Umhüllung um den Kraftspeicher ausgeführt, so ist ein Ausweichen aus der Längsachse des Kraftspeichers beim Vorspannen nicht möglich.If the at least one energy storage device is located in a casing, the energy storage device being mounted movably along its longitudinal axis in the casing at least in sections, a separation between the energy spokes and the surrounding elements of the fitting part is produced. The energy store itself can therefore not produce any frictional forces between the fitting part and the energy store. The energy store therefore does not rub against the fitting. In addition, the penetration of impurities into the energy storage device can also be prevented. Deposits such as lime or the like can influence or prevent the function of the energy storage mechanism. Impurities could also lead to the development of noise when the hinge is pivoted. The introduction of the energy store into the fitting is also simplified. If the energy storage device is designed as a helical spring, for example, it could deflect transversely to its longitudinal axis when it is inserted into the fitting part if it is preloaded. However, if the energy storage device is encased, it is not possible to evade the longitudinal axis of the energy storage device during pretensioning.
Wenn die Umhüllung durch eine Hülse mit einem Hohlraum ausgebildet wird, wobei der Kraftspeicher in seiner Außenform und Dimension mit der Form und Dimension des Hohlraumes der Umhüllung korrespondiert und zumindest abschnittsweise aus zumindest einer Öffnung der Umhüllung herausragt, dann ist ein spielfreies Bewegen des Kraftspeichers in Richtung quer seiner Längsachse nicht möglich. Durch diese spielfreie Führung des Kraftspeichers wird zum Beispiel eine Geräuschentwicklung verhindert. Zudem kann verhindert werden, dass sich der Kraftspeicher im Zuge einer längeren Verwendung des Scharnieres in eine andere Position bewegt und eventuell die Krafteinwirkung auf den Schwenkarm und das zweite Beschlagteil nicht mehr gewährleistet ist. Die Funktion wäre somit nicht mehr gegeben. Durch die passgenaue Umhüllung wird ein falsches Platzieren beim Einbau des Kraftspeichers ebenfalls verhindert.If the cover is formed by a sleeve with a cavity, the energy storage device corresponding in its outer shape and dimension with the shape and dimension of the cavity of the cover and at least partially protruding from at least one opening of the cover, then a play-free movement of the energy storage device in the direction not possible across its longitudinal axis. This play-free guidance of the energy storage mechanism prevents, for example, the development of noise. In addition, it can be prevented that the energy storage device moves into a different position in the course of prolonged use of the hinge and that the force on the swivel arm and the second fitting part is no longer guaranteed. The function would therefore no longer be given. The precisely fitting cover also prevents incorrect placement when installing the lift mechanism.
Wenn der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher durch ein Verstellelement in seiner Länge veränderbar ist, wobei die Länge vor dem Einbau des Kraftspeichers in das Scharnier eine Vorspannlänge beträgt und im eingebauten Zustand auf eine Einbaulänge veränderbar ist, dann ist der Kraftspeicher entlang seiner Längsachse zwischen dem zweiten Beschlagteil und dem Schwenkarm gefasst. Zudem kann die Vorspannung des Kraftspeichers im Einbauzustand und/oder auch im ausgebauten Zustand durch ein Verstellelement verändert werden. Die Vorspannkraft des Kraftspeichers ist abhängig vom Gewicht der daran befestigten Türe beziehungsweise von den Vorlieben des Betreibens der Dusche. Möchte dieser eine leicht verschwenkbare Türe haben, so wird die Vorspannkraft erhöht. Dies muss ebenfalls erfolgen, sobald eine schwere Türe verbaut wird - zum Beispiel eine Türe aus Glas. Bei einer leichteren Türe kann die Vorspannkraft reduziert werden. Der Kraftspeicher kann im entlasteten Zustand in seiner Maximallänge (Vorspannlänge) in das Scharnier eingesetzt werden und erst im darin befindlichen Zustand vorgespannt werden. Dies stellt eine enorme Erleichterung bei der Montage des Kraftspeichers dar, da dieser nicht bereits vorgespannt in das Scharnier eingesetzt werden muss.If the length of the at least one energy store can be changed by an adjusting element, the length being a preload length before the energy store is installed in the hinge and can be changed to an installation length in the installed state, then the energy store is along its longitudinal axis between the second fitting part and taken by the swivel arm. In addition, the preload of the energy store in the installed state and / or also in the removed state can be changed by an adjustment element. The pretensioning force of the energy store depends on the weight of the door attached to it or on the preference for operating the shower. If this would like to have a door that can be easily pivoted, the pre-tensioning force is increased. This must also be done as soon as a heavy door is installed - for example a door made of glass. If the door is lighter, the pre-tensioning force can be reduced. The energy storage mechanism can be inserted into the hinge in its maximum length (preload length) in the relieved state and can only be preloaded when it is in it. This makes the assembly of the energy storage device much easier, as it does not have to be inserted into the hinge in a pretensioned manner.
Wenn das Verstellelement durch eine Schraube ausgebildet wird, so ist die Verstellung des Verstellelementes durch Fachpersonal mittels üblichen Werkzeugs möglich. Hierzu ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Schraube eine Aufnahme für zum Beispiel einen Schraubenzieher oder einen Sechskantschlüssel aufweist.If the adjusting element is formed by a screw, the adjusting element can be adjusted by specialist personnel using conventional tools. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the screw has a receptacle for, for example, a screwdriver or an Allen key.
Wenn der Schwenkarm zumindest eine Schrägfläche zur Aufnahme des Kraftspeichers aufweist, wobei die Schrägfläche sich im Wesentlichen orthogonal zur Längsachse des Kraftspeichers erstreckt und zur Drehachse geneigt ist, so reduziert man die Querkräfte im Kontaktbereich zwischen dem Kraftspeicher und dem Schwenkarm. Weiters wird das Einführen des Kraftspeichers zwischen Schwenkarm und dem zweiten Beschlagteil vereinfacht. Diese Effekte werden zudem unterstützt wenn auch das Beschlagteil zumindest eine Schrägfläche zur Aufnahme des Kraftspeichers aufweist, wobei die Schrägfläche sich im Wesentlichen orthogonal zur Längsachse des Kraftspeichers erstreckt und zur Drehachse geneigt ist.If the swivel arm has at least one inclined surface for receiving the energy storage device, the inclined surface extending essentially orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the energy storage device and being inclined to the axis of rotation, the transverse forces in the contact area between the energy storage device and the swivel arm are reduced. Furthermore, the introduction of the energy store between the swivel arm and the second fitting part is simplified. These effects are also supported albeit that Fitting part has at least one inclined surface for receiving the energy storage device, the inclined surface extending substantially orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the energy storage device and being inclined to the axis of rotation.
Da die Längsachse des Kraftspeichers mit einem Winkel von zwischen 5° und 40°, vorzugsweise 8° und 30°, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 10° und 20° von der Drehachse des Drehgelenkes abweicht, dann ergibt sich ein nicht so großer Unterschied zwischen dem Winkel der Längsachse und der Drehachse. Umso näher der Winkel der Längsachse dem Winkel der Drehachse angepasst wird, umso geringer werden die Querkräfte, welche auf den Kraftspeicher oder den Schwenkarm einwirken.Since the longitudinal axis of the energy storage device deviates from the axis of rotation of the rotary joint at an angle of between 5 ° and 40 °, preferably 8 ° and 30 °, particularly preferably between 10 ° and 20 °, there is not so great a difference between the angle of the Longitudinal axis and the axis of rotation. The closer the angle of the longitudinal axis is adapted to the angle of the axis of rotation, the lower the transverse forces that act on the energy storage device or the swivel arm.
