Description

Gebiet der ErfindungField of the Invention

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Scharnier für aushängbare Blechschranktüren, umfassend ein erstes, am Türrahmen befestigbares Scharnierteil, das an seinem freien Ende eine Bohrung oder Rolle bildet, durch die ein Scharnierstift hindurchreicht und mittig gehalten wird oder das auch einstückig ausgeführt sein kann, und ein zweites, U-förmiges, Scharnierteil, das mit der Tür verbunden ist und in montierter Stellung die freiliegenden Endbereiche des Scharnierstifts umschließt, wobei das eine Scharnierteil, das U-förmig ausgestaltet ist, das andere Scharnierteil mit den U-Schenkeln umschließt.The invention relates to a hinge for detachable sheet metal cabinet doors, comprising a first hinge part which can be fastened to the door frame and which forms a bore or roller at its free end, through which a hinge pin extends and is held in the center or which can also be made in one piece, and a second, U-shaped hinge part, which is connected to the door and encloses the exposed end regions of the hinge pin in the assembled position, the one hinge part, which is U-shaped, encloses the other hinge part with the U-legs.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Ein solches Scharnier ist aus der Seite 4-125 des Katalogs der DIRAK GmbH & Co. KG, Kaiserstraße 55 - 59, 58332 Schwelm, Druckdatum 03.1996 bereits bekannt. Um die Tür vom Rahmen zu trennen, ist es erforderlich, den Scharnierstift von beiden Scharnieren aus den Scharnierteilen herauszuziehen, was umständlich ist. Ein weiterer Gesichtspunkt ist die Möglichkeit der Herstellung einer Erdverbindung zwischen dem Türblatt und dem Türrahmen, was im Falle der Katalogversion grundsätzlich möglich ist, da die beiden Scharnierteil sowie der Stift jeweils aus Stahl, also aus einem leitenden Metall besteht. Unsicher ist aber die Kontaktgabe zwischen den Scharnierstiften und den beiden Scharnierteilen, die sich zueinander bewegen, wenn die Tür geöffnet oder geschlossen wird.Such a hinge is already known from page 4-125 of the catalog of DIRAK GmbH & Co. KG, Kaiserstrasse 55 - 59, 58332 Schwelm, print date 03.1996. In order to separate the door from the frame, it is necessary to pull the hinge pin out of the hinge parts from both hinges, which is cumbersome. Another aspect is the possibility of establishing an earth connection between the door leaf and the door frame, which is basically possible in the case of the catalog version, since the two hinge parts and the pin each consist of steel, that is to say of a conductive metal. However, the contact between the hinge pins and the two hinge parts, which move towards each other when the door is opened or closed, is uncertain.

Die US0437492 offenbart ein Scharnier gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The US0437492 discloses a hinge according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aufgabe der ErfindungObject of the invention

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Scharnier zu schaffen, dass ein Trennen der Tür vom Türrahmen ermöglicht, wobei gleichzeitig eine sichere Erdverbindung herstellbar ist.The object of the invention is to provide a hinge that separates the door from Door frame enables, while at the same time a secure earth connection can be established.

Lösung der AufgabeSolution of the task

Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Ein derartig ausgestaltetes Scharnier ermöglicht zum einen ein Trennen von Tür und Türrahmen, ohne dass ein Scharnierstift gezogen werden müßte. Dieser verbleibt vielmehr in der Bohrung oder in der Rolle des ersten Scharnierteils, wodurch weiterhin eine sichere Erdung ausgestaltbar ist.A hinge designed in this way enables the door and the door frame to be separated without having to pull a hinge pin. Rather, this remains in the bore or in the role of the first hinge part, whereby a safe grounding can still be designed.

Erfindungsgemäß werden die beiden Endstellungen des Schiebers durch eine unter Federspannung stehende Kugel definiert.According to the invention, the two end positions of the slide are defined by a spring-loaded ball.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung besitzt die Durchtrittsöffnung eine solche Kontur, dass der Durchtritt der Scharnierachse erst bei geöffneter Tür ermöglicht wird, so dass nicht die Gefahr besteht, dass ungewollt das Türblatt sich aus der Angel löst.According to a development of the invention, the passage opening has such a contour that passage of the hinge axis is only made possible when the door is open, so that there is no danger that the door leaf will unintentionally come loose from the hinge.

Erfindungsgemäß ruht die Achse auf einer vom Oberteil gebildeten schiefen Ebene, wobei die Berührungspunkte bzw. -linie zwischen Achse und schräger Ebene unter Federdruck steht. Das stellt eine gesicherte Kontaktgabe zwischen der Achse des einen Scharnierteils und der schrägen Ebene des Oberteils und damit des anderen Scharnierteils sicher.According to the invention, the axis rests on an inclined plane formed by the upper part, the contact points or line between the axis and the inclined plane being under spring pressure. This ensures reliable contact between the axis of one hinge part and the inclined plane of the upper part and thus the other hinge part.

Erfindungsgemäß wird der Federdruck durch eine im Unterteil oder im Oberteil angeordnete und mit einer Druckfeder versehenen Kugel erzeugt, wobei die Kugel sich auf einer vom Oberteil bzw. vom Unterteil gebildeten schrägen Ebene abstützt. Auch hier ist durch den Druck der Druckfeder die Kontaktgabe zwischen der Kugel auf der am Oberteil bzw. Unterteil gebildeten schrägen Fläche, wo sich die Kugel abstützt, sichergestellt.According to the spring pressure is by a ball arranged in the lower part or in the upper part and provided with a compression spring, the ball being supported on an inclined plane formed by the upper part or the lower part. Here, too, the pressure of the compression spring ensures contact between the ball on the inclined surface formed on the upper part and lower part, where the ball is supported.

Die im Unterteil oder im Oberteil angeordnete mit Druckfeder versehene Kugel ist mit der die Endstellungen definierenden Kugel identisch, so dass Material eingespart wird und auch Platzerfordernisse gering bleiben.The ball provided with compression spring in the lower part or in the upper part is identical to the ball defining the end positions, so that material is saved and space requirements also remain small.

Wie beim Stand der Technik bestehen die Scharnierteile aus Metall und können mittels Verschraubungen am Türrahmen bzw. Tür, insbesondere an deren Abkantungsbereich befestigt sein.As in the prior art, the hinge parts consist of metal and can be fastened by means of screw connections to the door frame or door, in particular to their bent area.

Gemäß einer Alternative können die Scharnierteile ebenfalls aus Metall bestehen und die Befestigung der Scharnierteile mittels Snap-Befestigungen mit Erdungsfeder befestigt sein.According to an alternative, the hinge parts can also consist of metal and the fastening of the hinge parts can be fastened by means of snap fastenings with an earth spring.

Das Oberteil kann eine griffige Oberfläche zur Erleichterung des Verschiebens durch den Daumen und/oder Zeigefinger der Bedienungsperson aufweisen.The upper part can have a non-slip surface to make it easier for the operator to slide it through the thumb and / or index finger.

Detaillierte Beschreibung der ErfindungDetailed description of the invention

Fig. 1 zeigt in perspektivischer Ansicht ein erfindungsgemäß ausgestaltetes Scharnier 10, umfassend ein erstes, am Türrahmen 12 befestigbares Scharnierteil 14, siehe auch Fig. 1 D, welches erste Scharnierteil 14 an seinem freien Ende eine Bohrung oder Rolle 18 bildet, durch die ein Scharnierstift 20 hindurchreicht und mittig gehalten wird, und ein zweites, U-förmiges, Scharnierteil 16, das mit der Tür 62 verbunden ist, wobei das eine, z.B. das zweite Scharnierteil, das U-förmig ausgestaltet ist, das andere, z.B. das erste Scharnierteil, mit den U-Schenkeln umschließt, wobei die U-Schenkel die Bezugszeichen 24 und 26 haben, und mit einem U-Steg 22 miteinander verbunden sind. Das U-förmige Scharnierteil 16 besteht aus einem Unterteil 28 und einem Oberteil 30, wobei das Oberteil 30 in dem Unterteil 28 in Form eines einen ebenfalls U-förmigen Schiebers 32 vorliegt, welcher Schieber 32 verschieblich zwischen zwei Endstellungen 34, 36 ist, siehe die Fig. 2A für die offene Stellung und Fig. 2B für die geschlossene Stellung. Die Verschiebung erfolgt parallel zur Erstreckung U-Schenkel 24, 26, wobei in der einen Endstellung, die Enden der U-Schenkel 42, 44 eine seitliche Austrittsöffnung 38 für das Ende des Stiftes 46 bzw. 48 verschließen, in der anderen Endstellung und bei geöffneter Tür jedoch eine das Ende des Scharnierstiftes 46, 48 seitlich durchschiebbare Öffnung 38, 40 freigeben. Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a hinge 10 designed according to the invention, comprising a first hinge part 14 which can be fastened to the door frame 12, see also Fig. 1 D. which first hinge part 14 forms at its free end a bore or roller 18 through which a hinge pin 20 extends and is held in the center, and a second, U-shaped, hinge part 16 which is connected to the door 62, the one, For example, the second hinge part, which is designed in a U-shape, encloses the other, for example the first hinge part, with the U-legs, the U-legs having the reference numerals 24 and 26, and being connected to one another by a U-web 22. The U-shaped hinge part 16 consists of a lower part 28 and an upper part 30, the upper part 30 being in the lower part 28 in the form of a likewise U-shaped slide 32, which slide 32 is displaceable between two end positions 34, 36, see FIG Figure 2A for the open position and Figure 2B for the closed position. The displacement takes place parallel to the extension of the U-legs 24, 26, wherein in the one end position, the ends of the U-legs 42, 44 close a lateral outlet opening 38 for the end of the pin 46 or 48, in the other end position and when open However, the door opens an opening 38, 40 which can be pushed through the end of the hinge pin 46, 48 laterally.

Die beiden Endstellungen 34 bzw. 36 des Schiebers 32 sind durch eine unter Federspannung, siehe die Feder 50, stehende Kugel 52 definiert.The two end positions 34 and 36 of the slide 32 are defined by a ball 52 which is under spring tension, see the spring 50.

In Fig. 2C1 ist dargestellt, wie die Achse 20 des Scharniers 10 auf einer vom Oberteil 30 gebildeten schiefen Ebene 56 ruht, wobei der Berührungspunkt bzw. die Berührungslinie zwischen der Scharnierachse 20 und der schrägen Ebene 56 unter Federdruck steht. Dieser Federdruck wird durch eine im Oberteil 30 angeordnete und mit einer Druckfeder 50 versehene Kugel 52 erzeugt, wobei die Kugel 52 sich auf einer vom Unterteil 28 gebildeten schrägen Ebene abstützt, wie Fig. 3 erkennen lässt. Zur Vereinfachung der Konstruktion ist vorgesehen, dass die im Oberteil angeordnete mit Druckfeder 50 versehene Kugel mit der die Endstellungen definierenden Kugel identisch ist. Um ausreichende Festigkeit und elektrische Leitfähigkeit zu erreichen, sind die Scharnierteile aus Metall gefertigt und mittels Verschraubungen am Türrahmen bzw. Tür befestigt.In Figure 2C1 is shown how the axis 20 of the hinge 10 rests on an inclined plane 56 formed by the upper part 30, the point of contact or the line of contact between the hinge axis 20 and the inclined plane 56 being under spring pressure. This spring pressure is generated by a ball 52 arranged in the upper part 30 and provided with a compression spring 50, the ball 52 being supported on an inclined plane formed by the lower part 28, such as Fig. 3 reveals. To simplify the construction it is provided that the arranged in the upper part with Compression spring 50 provided ball is identical to the ball defining the end positions. In order to achieve sufficient strength and electrical conductivity, the hinge parts are made of metal and fastened to the door frame or door using screw connections.

Statt dessen können aber auch die aus Metall bestehenden Scharnierteile mittels Snap-Befestigungen, wie Fig. 5A und 5B zeigen, und wie in dem Buch D-SNAP technology, Verlag moderne Industrie, München 2006 befestigt sein. Das Oberteil 30 weist eine griffige Oberfläche zur Erleichterung des Verschiebens durch den Daumen und/oder Zeigefinger auf, außerdem ist die Oberfläche des Oberteils mit Rillen 58 versehen.Instead, the hinge parts made of metal can also be fastened using snap fasteners, such as 5A and 5B show and like in that Book D-SNAP technology, Verlag Moderne Industrie, Munich 2006 be attached. The upper part 30 has a non-slip surface to facilitate movement by the thumb and / or index finger, and the surface of the upper part is provided with grooves 58.

Es sei nun die Funktionsweise des erfindungsgemäßen Scharniers näher erläutert.The operation of the hinge according to the invention will now be explained in more detail.

Fig. 1A zeigt das Bauteil in geschlossenem Zustand. Die Kontur zum Öffnen mit der Hand ist geriffelt, so dass der Daumen oder die Hand bei dem Versuch das Oberteil nach links zu verschieben, siehe den Pfeil 60, nicht abrutscht. Während die Fig. 1A den geschlossenen Zustand des Scharniers wiedergibt, ist in Fig. 1B der geöffnete Zustand zu erkennen, wobei die Tür auch im geöffnetem Zustand, wie er in Fig. 1B wiedergegeben ist, durch die Kontur 80 gegen Herausfallen gesichert ist. Fig. 1A shows the component in the closed state. The contour for opening with the hand is grooved so that the thumb or hand does not slip when trying to move the top to the left, see arrow 60. While the Fig. 1A shows the closed state of the hinge is in Figure 1B to recognize the open state, the door also in the open state as it is in Figure 1B is reproduced, is secured against falling out by the contour 80.

In Fig. 1C ist das Türblatt aufgeschwenkt und jetzt kann das Scharnier getrennt werden, siehe Fig. 1D, wobei der Stift im Rahmenteil verbleibt, um so eine feste und auch leitfähige Verbindung herzustellen, was der Lösung der Aufgabe dient, das Türblatt mit dem Rahmen elektrisch zu verbinden, wobei die Schaltungen innerhalb des Schaltschrankes unter Strom stehen und Drähte an die metallische Tür oder den Rahmen anschlagen können und so die Anordnung unter Strom setzen kann.In 1C the door leaf is swung open and the hinge can now be separated, see Figure 1D , wherein the pin remains in the frame part, so as to establish a firm and also conductive connection, which serves the solution of the task of electrically connecting the door leaf to the frame, the circuits within the control cabinet being live and wires to the metallic door or can strike the frame and thus energize the arrangement.

In Fig. 1C ist die Tür aufgeklappt und in Fig. 1D ist das Scharnier getrennt, die Tür kann vom Rahmen abgenommen werden.In 1C the door is opened and in Figure 1D the hinge is separated, the door can be removed from the frame.

Mit den Fig. 2A, 2B und 2C sollen die Funktionsprinzipien in den unterschiedlichen
Schiebepositionen des Schiebers erläutert werden. In der in Fig. 2A dargestellten Position kann das Oberteil konturbedingt nicht weiter gegen das Unterteil verschoben werden. In Fig. 2B wird der geschlossene Zustand dargestellt. Die Kugel 52 sitzt weiterhin unter Gegendruck der Feder 50 auf einer schiefen Ebene 54 und sorgt so für eine permanente Druckspannung. Das drängt das Oberteil 30 in Pfeilrichtung zum Unterteil 28. Diese Spannung sorgt für den nötigen Kontakt zwischen Oberteil 30 (in Verbindung mit dem Unterteil 28) einerseits und dem Stift 20 im Rahmenteil 14 andererseits an der Berührungsstelle 82. Die Berührungsstelle 82 ist die Kontaktstelle des Stiftes 20 in der schiefen Ebene 56 des am Türblatt 62 befestigten Scharnierteils.With the 2A, 2B and 2C the functional principles are supposed to be in the different
Sliding positions of the slide are explained. In the in Figure 2A position shown, the upper part can not be moved against the lower part due to the contour. In Figure 2B the closed state is shown. The ball 52 is still seated under counter pressure of the spring 50 on an inclined plane 54 and thus ensures a permanent compressive stress. This urges the upper part 30 to the lower part 28 in the direction of the arrow. This tension ensures the necessary contact between the upper part 30 (in connection with the lower part 28) on the one hand and the pin 20 in the frame part 14 on the other hand at the contact point 82. The contact point 82 is the contact point of the Pin 20 in the inclined plane 56 of the hinge part attached to the door leaf 62.

Damit ist an der montierten und geschlossenen Tür sicher gestellt, dass eine Erdverbindung zwischen dem Gehäuse bzw. dem Rahmen 12 einerseits und dem Türblatt 62 aus Metall andererseits besteht, so dass beim Berühren des Schrankes durch die Bedienungsperson auch dann keine nachteiligen Folgen hat, wenn ein im Schrankinneren losgerissener Draht das Innere des Gehäuse oder des Rahmens berühren und diese unter Spannung setzen sollte.This ensures on the assembled and closed door that there is an earth connection between the housing or the frame 12 on the one hand and the door leaf 62 made of metal on the other hand, so that when the cabinet is touched by the operator there are no disadvantageous consequences even if a Wire torn loose inside the cabinet should touch the inside of the housing or frame and energize it.

In den Ausführungsformen der Fig. 2A bis 2F sind die beiden Scharnierteile mittels Schraubmuttern befestigt, siehe beispielsweise die Fig. 4A und Fig. 4B, dort die Bezugszahlen 66, 68.In the embodiments of the 2A to 2F the two hinge parts are fastened with screw nuts, see for example the 4A and 4B , there the reference numbers 66, 68.

In Fig. 5A und Fig. 5B ist eine alternative Befestigungsart dargestellt. Statt Schraubverbindungen wie in Fig. 4A und 4B, die dortigen Bezugszahlen 66, 68 und 70, sind hier sogenannte Snap-Befestigungselemente vorgesehen, die die Bezugszahlen 72 und 74 tragen und in Verbindung mit rechteckigen Durchbrüchen, wie sie in der dünnen Wand vorgesehen sind befestigt werden, indem sie durchgesteckt werden und mögliche Schlitten 76 das Blech festhalten und so für eine Befestigung der beiden Scharnierteile sorgen, siehe auch WO 2005/083207 .In 5A and 5B an alternative type of attachment is shown. Instead of screw connections as in 4A and 4B , the reference numbers 66, 68 and 70 there, so-called snap fastening elements are provided, which carry the reference numbers 72 and 74 and are fastened in connection with rectangular openings, such as are provided in the thin wall, by pushing them through and possible slides 76 hold the metal sheet tight and ensure that the two hinge parts are fastened, see also WO 2005/083207 .
