This electric door drive also has the disadvantage described above.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Garagentorantrieb anzugeben, der eine komfortabel zu bedienende Anschlussmöglichkeit zum Versorgen externer Geräte mit elektrischem Strom bietet.It is therefore the object of the present invention to specify a garage door drive that offers a convenient connection option for supplying external devices with electrical power.

Die Aufgabe wird durch einen Garagentorantrieb gelöst, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die Anschlussbuchse mittels eines Anschlusskabels mit dem Garagentorantriebsbauteil verbunden ist und dass die Anschlussbuchse auf ihrer Außenseite eine Polsterung aufweist.The object is achieved by a garage door drive which is characterized in that the connection socket is connected to the garage door drive component by means of a connection cable and that the connection socket has padding on its outside.

Der erfindungsgemäße Garagentorantrieb hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass die Anschlussbuchse, insbesondere an dem Anschlusskabel hängend, stets in einem Bereich angeordnet sein kann, in dem ein einfacher Zugriff möglich ist. Hierbei ist von ganz besonderem Vorteil, dass die Anschlussbuchse, beispielsweise wenn ein Fahrzeug in die Garage gefahren werden soll, nicht aus dem Durchgangs- und Durchfahrtsbereich entfernt werden muss, weil auf Grund der Polsterung nicht die Gefahr besteht, dass ein durch den Bereich, in dem die Anschlussbuchse hängt, hindurchfahrendes Fahrzeug beschädigt oder eine durch diesen Bereich gehende Person durch die Anschlussbuchse verletzt wird. Insbesondere hat die Erfindung den weiteren ganz besonderen Vorteil, dass die Anschlussbuchse stets im unmittelbaren Zugriffsbereich angeordnet bleiben kann, so dass sie im Bedarfsfall stets unmittelbar zu Verfügung steht.The garage door drive according to the invention has the particular advantage that the connection socket, in particular hanging from the connection cable, can always be arranged in an area in which a simple Access is possible. A particular advantage here is that the connection socket, for example when a vehicle is to be driven into the garage, does not have to be removed from the passage and drive-through area, because the upholstery does not mean that there is no risk of an in which the connection socket is hanging, damage to a vehicle driving through or a person walking through this area is injured by the connection socket. In particular, the invention has the further very special advantage that the connection socket can always remain arranged in the immediate access area, so that it is always immediately available when needed.

Insbesondere kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass an einem Ende des Anschlusskabels die Anschlussbuchse angeordnet ist, während das andere Ende des Anschlusskabels mit einem Steckverbindungselement versehen ist, das in ein Gegensteckverbindungselement des Garagentorantriebsbauteils eingesteckt ist. Eine solche Ausführung hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass die Anschlussbuchse samt dem Anschlusskabel bei Bedarf einfach von dem Garagentorantriebsbauteil abgenommen werden kann. Das Steckverbindungselement kann beispielsweise eine Kaltgerätekupplung sein, die in einen Kaltgerätestecker der Garagentorantriebsbauteils eingesteckt ist.In particular, it can advantageously be provided that the connection socket is arranged at one end of the connection cable, while the other end of the connection cable is provided with a plug connection element which is plugged into a mating plug connection element of the garage door drive component. Such a design has the particular advantage that the connection socket together with the connection cable can easily be removed from the garage door drive component if necessary. The connector element can be, for example, an IEC coupling that is plugged into an IEC connector of the garage door drive component.

Die Polsterung kann vorteilhaft beispielsweise einen flexiblen und/oder reversibel komprimierbaren Schaumstoff aufweisen.The upholstery can advantageously have, for example, a flexible and / or reversibly compressible foam.

Vorzugsweise weist die Anschlussbuchse wenigstens eine Einstecköffnung zum Einführen eines Steckers entlang einer Einsteckrichtung auf. Die Anschlussbuchse und der Stecker können insbesondere nach dem Schuko-System ausgebildet sein. Die Anschlussbuchse kann jedoch auch nach jedem anderen Steckersystem ausgebildet sein. Insbesondere kann die Anschlussbuchse als Kaltgerätestecker ausgebildet sein, der mit einer Kaltgerätekupplung elektrisch leitend verbindbar ist.The connection socket preferably has at least one insertion opening for inserting a plug along an insertion direction. The connection socket and the plug can in particular be designed according to the Schuko system. The connection socket can, however, also be designed according to any other connector system. In particular, the connection socket can be designed as an IEC connector that is equipped with a IEC coupling can be connected in an electrically conductive manner.

Die Polsterung kann vorteilhaft wenigstens teilweise auch das Anschlusskabel umgeben, um Beschädigungen oder Verletzungen durch das Anschlusskabel zu verhindern.The padding can advantageously at least partially also surround the connection cable in order to prevent damage or injuries from the connection cable.

Die Polsterung kann einteilig oder mehrteilig ausgebildet sein.The upholstery can be made in one piece or in several pieces.

Insbesondere kann die Polsterung wenigstens ein rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildetes Polsterteil aufweisen, das eine Steckerbuchse entlang einem Außenumfang umgibt. Die Steckerbuchse kann vorteilhaft aus einem harten Material hergestellt sein, was ein sicheres Einführen und Entfernen eines Steckers gewährleistet.In particular, the upholstery can have at least one rotationally symmetrical cushion part which surrounds a plug socket along an outer circumference. The plug socket can advantageously be made of a hard material, which ensures a secure insertion and removal of a plug.

Bei einer besonders einfach bedienbaren Ausführung ist die Einstecköffnung frei von der Polsterung. Eine solche Ausführung erlaubt es, einen Stecker unmittelbar in die Anschlussbuchse einführen zu können.In an embodiment that is particularly easy to use, the insertion opening is free from the padding. Such a design allows a plug to be inserted directly into the connection socket.

Alternativ kann auch vorgesehen sein, die Polsterung die Einstecköffnung bei Nichtbenutzung abdeckt und dass die Polsterung oder wenigstens ein Teil der Polsterung zum Freilegen der Einstecköffnung, insbesondere werkzeug- und/oder zerstörungsfrei, entfernbar ist. Eine solche Ausführung hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass eine allseitige Polsterung realisiert sein kann, so dass durchfahrende Fahrzeuge besonders gut vor Beschädigungen und durchgehende Personen, die mit der Anschlussbuchse in Kontakt kommen, besonders gut vor Verletzungen geschützt sind.Alternatively, it can also be provided that the upholstery covers the insertion opening when not in use and that the upholstery or at least part of the upholstery can be removed to expose the insertion opening, in particular without tools and / or without destruction. Such a design has the particular advantage that padding on all sides can be implemented, so that vehicles passing through are particularly well protected from damage and people passing through who come into contact with the connection socket are particularly well protected from injuries.

Insbesondere bei einer Ausführung, die eine einteilige Polsterung aufweist, kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass die Polsterung oder ein Teil der Polsterung die Einstecköffnung seitlich, insbesondere entgegen der Einführrichtung, überragt.In particular in the case of an embodiment which has one-piece upholstery, it can advantageously be provided that the upholstery or part of the upholstery protrudes laterally beyond the insertion opening, in particular against the direction of insertion.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführung ist das Anschlusskabel wenigstens teilweise ein Spiralkabel. Dies hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass die Anschlussbuchse in einem angenehm erreichbaren Zugriffsbereich in einem vorbestimmten Abstand zum Garagentorantriebsbauteil, insbesondere Antriebsgehäuse, hängen kann und dass dennoch bei Bedarf eine Kabellänge ausgenutzt werden kann, die größer als der Abstand ist.In an advantageous embodiment, the connection cable is at least partially a spiral cable. This has the particular advantage that the connection socket can hang in a conveniently accessible access area at a predetermined distance from the garage door drive component, in particular the drive housing, and that a cable length that is greater than the distance can still be used if necessary.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass das Garagentorantriebsbauteil, das insbesondere ein Antriebsgehäuse sein kann, eine Kabeltrommel beinhaltet oder dass an dem Garagentorantriebsbauteil eine Kabeltrommel angeordnet ist, auf die das Anschlusskabel wenigstens zu Teil aufgewickelt ist oder auf die das Anschlusskabel wenigstens zum Teil aufwickelbar ist. Insbesondere kann die Kabeltrommel eine Federvorrichtung aufweisen, so dass das Anschlusskabel oder wenigstens ein Teil des Anschlusskabels gegen die Rückstellkraft der Federvorrichtung abgewickelt und mittels der dann in der Federvorrichtung gespeicherten Energie wieder aufgewickelt werden kann.Alternatively or additionally, it can also be provided that the garage door drive component, which can in particular be a drive housing, contains a cable drum or that a cable drum is arranged on the garage door drive component, onto which the connection cable is at least partially wound or onto which the connection cable can at least partially be wound is. In particular, the cable drum can have a spring device so that the connection cable or at least a part of the connection cable can be unwound against the restoring force of the spring device and rewound again by means of the energy then stored in the spring device.

Vorzugsweise weist die Polsterung auf ihrer Außenseite eine nichtabrasive Oberfläche auf. Auf diese Weise sind Oberflächenbeschädigungen, beispielsweise im Lack eines Fahrzeugs, vorteilhaft besonders gut vermieden.The upholstery preferably has a non-abrasive surface on its outside. In this way, surface damage, for example in the paintwork of a vehicle, is advantageously particularly well avoided.

Wie bereits erwähnt kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass die Anschlussbuchse, insbesondere bei Nichtbenutzung, frei an dem Anschlusskabel herabhängt, wenn das Garagentorantriebsbauteil an einer Gargendecke befestigt ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Anschlussbuchse für einen Benutzer in einer gut erreichbaren Höhe angeordnet sein.As already mentioned, it can advantageously be provided that the connection socket, in particular when not in use, hangs freely from the connection cable when the garage door drive component is attached to a garage ceiling. In this way, the connection socket can be arranged at a height that is easily accessible for a user.

Bei einer besonderen Ausführung weist der Garagentorantrieb einen elektrischen Antriebsmotor auf, der dazu ausgebildet ist, an ein Stromnetz angeschlossen zu werden, wobei die Anschlussbuchse zu dem elektrischen Antriebsmotor parallel geschaltet ist.In a particular embodiment, the garage door drive has an electric drive motor which is designed to be connected to a power supply system, the connection socket being connected in parallel to the electric drive motor.
