Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sliding wall system with a carriage for a sliding wall element of the sliding wall system, comprising a carriage housing, a first impeller, a second impeller and a suspension element, the impellers being rotatably supported by at least one bearing device with respect to the carriage housing about at least one impeller axis, and wherein the suspension element protrudes from the carriage housing in and / or on the carriage housing such that a sliding wall element can be fastened to the suspension element.
- Sliding wall systems are used to variably close and reopen openings in rooms. Such sliding wall systems can also be used for a variable division of rooms.
- Sliding wall systems have, in particular, a plurality of sliding wall elements, each of which is movably guided by at least one carriage in a profile element of a ceiling guide of the sliding wall system. It is known to at least partially design these sliding wall systems automatically, i.e. in particular that at least one of the carriages is designed as a drive carriage.
- a drive carriage has a drive unit which is designed to drive an impeller and thus enables a driven and automatic movement of the sliding wall element along the ceiling guide.
- the carriage is designed at least in two lanes with two spaced-apart wheel axes, each of these tracks having two wheels.
- a suitable choice of the distance between the impeller axles can ensure that at least two impellers are in contact with the tread of the profile element at all times.
- the disadvantage here is that at least four wheels are required for each carriage and that, due to the spacing of the running axes, the carriages also require a large amount of installation space.
- Driving on curved tracks can also be made more difficult by this two-lane configuration, in particular with regard to the effort required, since slipping or sliding of the running wheels in the curved track is particularly necessary for driving on a curved track in the profile element.
- Another possibility according to the prior art is to provide switching elements in the switch sections of the profile element which bridge the corresponding profile gap for passage of the carriage.
- this is mechanically complex and requires the switching element to be actuated each time the carriage passes. This can result in high costs, both in the manufacture and in the operation of such a sliding wall system.
- US 2013/312333 A1 shows a carriage for a sliding wall system with four wheels, which are arranged on a housing.
- US 2006/248826 A1 shows a sliding wall system with a carriage with two opposite wheels. A corresponding one hangs on the wheels Sliding wall element. The suspension of the sliding wall element extends through a gap in a guide profile.
- the carriage for the sliding wall element of the sliding wall system has a carriage housing, a first impeller, a second impeller and a suspension element, the impellers being rotatably supported by at least one bearing device with respect to the carriage housing about at least one impeller axis, and further comprising the suspension element protruding from the carriage housing in and / or on the carriage housing, that a sliding wall element can be fastened to the suspension element.
- the carriage is characterized in that an extension of at least one of the wheels in the direction along the at least one wheel axis is at least one and a half times as large, preferably two to three times as large, and at most four times as large as an extension of the suspension element in this direction.
- the carriage is intended for use in the sliding wall system.
- a carriage housing provides a volume for at least a part of the carriage in which this part of the carriage is arranged. Protection against damage and / or contamination can thereby be provided.
- the first and that second impellers are designed to contact a tread, preferably one tread each, of a profile element of a ceiling guide of the sliding wall system, whereby movement of the carriage in the profile element of the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system is made possible.
- the two impellers have at least one impeller axis, about which the respective impeller is rotatably mounted in the carriage, the two impellers preferably being arranged coaxially with one another and thus having a common impeller axis.
- a bearing device enables this movement, wherein the bearing direction, in particular, for example, also reduces or minimizes friction losses caused by rotation of the impellers.
- the carriage has a suspension element to which the sliding wall element of the sliding wall system is attached.
- the suspension element can be fastened inside the car body or directly on the car body. It is crucial that the suspension element protrudes from the carriage housing in such a way that the sliding wall element can be attached to it.
- a profile gap is provided, through which the suspension element also projects.
- the wheels of the drive car contact the profile element on one side, the suspension element protrudes through the profile gap and the sliding wall element is then attached to the suspension element on the other, opposite side of the profile element.
- the sliding wall element can already be held by only one carriage. Such holding can, however, also be provided by a plurality of carriages and / or a combination of one or more carriages and one or more drive carriages which have a drive unit.
- the carriage is designed in such a way that an extension of the impeller is adapted to a corresponding extension of the suspension element in a direction along the at least one impeller axis.
- the impeller has a size in this direction, also referred to axially, which is at least one and a half times as large as a corresponding extension of the suspension element in this direction. All the wheels of the carriage are preferably designed with a correspondingly large axial extent.
- the wheels of the carriage are movably arranged on at least one running profile of the profile element of the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system and the suspension element extends through the profile gap of the profile element.
- the profile gap also divides, as a result of which the profile gap is run over at least with an impeller when passing through the switch section.
- a width of the profile gap is usually adapted to a size of the extent of the suspension element in the direction of the impeller axis.
- the corresponding size of the profile gap is preferably designed such that movement of the suspension element is not hindered when the carriage moves in the running profile, and at the same time the expansion of the profile gap is as small as possible.
- At least one of the impellers By adapting an axial extent of at least one of the impellers, preferably both impellers, to a corresponding extent of the suspension element, it is thus also possible automatically to adapt the extent of the impellers along their impeller axis with respect to a width of the profile gap.
- At least one of the running wheels, preferably all running wheels, of a carriage thus has an extension that is larger, in particular at least one and a half times larger, than an extension of a width of the profile gap. This makes it possible to ensure that even when a switch section is passed through, the at least one impeller always contacts a running profile of the profile element with at least a portion of its surface.
- the minimum size of the extension of the at least one impeller of one and a half times the extension of the suspension element is selected such that even when a running path branches off at an angle of 45 °, this effectively widening the profile gap to be traversed by a factor of 2 0.5 ⁇ 1.41 is caused, immersion of the at least one impeller in the driving profile gap can be safely avoided.
- the axial extent of the at least one impeller is preferably made even larger, in particular two to three times as large as up to four times as large as the corresponding extent of the suspension element. Immersion of the at least one impeller in the profile gap when passing through the switch section can thereby be avoided even more reliably.
- a drive through The crossover section of the profile element in the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system can thus be improved by the carriage, in particular at least partial immersion of an impeller of the carriage in the profile gap being avoided.
- Disadvantages that can occur due to such an immersion of an impeller in a profile gap when passing through a switch section for example an increase in rolling resistance or a requirement to provide switching elements for bridging the profile gap, can thus be avoided.
- the carriage is intended for use with the profile element of the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system, the profile element having a first running profile, a second running profile and a profile gap, which is preferably arranged between the first running profile and the second running profile, the running wheels depending on the used state one of the running profiles of the profile element are arranged and the suspension element extends through the profile gap in the running profile, and furthermore the extension of at least one of the running wheels in the direction along the at least one running wheel axis is at least one and a half times as large, preferably two to three times as large, and a maximum of four times is as large as an extension of the profile gap in this direction.
- an axial extension of at least one of the wheels is not only adapted to a corresponding extension of the suspension element but also also directly and directly to a corresponding extension of the profile gap of the profile element with which the carriage is to be used educated.
- the carriage is intended to reliably prevent a running wheel from immersing itself in the profile gap when passing through a switch section in the profile element of a ceiling guide of the sliding wall system.
- the extent of the profile gap which, as described above, is usually adapted to a corresponding extent of the suspension element, when designing the running wheels, This immersion can be avoided even more reliably, in particular the axial extension of the impellers along their impeller axis. All the advantages described above in relation to an adaptation of the axial extent of the impellers to a corresponding extent of the suspension element are thus can be provided even with an adaptation of the axial extension of the impellers to a corresponding extension of the profile gap.
- the carriage can be designed such that the carriage is designed as a drive carriage and has a drive unit with an electric drive, which is arranged at least partially inside the first impeller and for driving the first impeller with the first impeller by means of a first coupling element is mechanically coupled.
- the interior of the first impeller is used to at least partially provide space for the electric drive. It is thus possible to use the volume of the impeller for the electric drive or the drive unit.
- a drive torque of the electric drive is transmitted to the first impeller via a first coupling element.
- the first coupling element can be, for example, a gear, in particular a planetary gear.
- a first coupling element in the sense of the invention also represents a direct configuration of at least part of the first impeller as part of the electric drive, for example as a rotor of the electric drive.
- the inventive arrangement of the electric drive can at least partially provide the interior of the first impeller be that no or at least only little additional space must be provided for the arrangement of the drive unit.
- a difference in the space requirement between a carriage designed as a drive carriage and a carriage that has no drive unit can be minimized as a result. All the advantages that have been described in relation to a carriage without a drive unit can thus also be provided by the carriage, which is designed as a drive carriage.
- the suspension element has a bearing element to enable rotation of the sliding wall element about at least one axis perpendicular to the axial extension of the wheels.
- a bearing element can be designed, for example, as a rotary swivel joint.
- Such a rotary swivel joint can, for example, use a rolling bearing to perform a rotational movement about a vertical axis that is perpendicular to both a direction of movement of the carriage in the ceiling guide and to is aligned at least one impeller axis, and allow at least one horizontal bolt to pivot the sliding wall element about a transverse axis which is oriented perpendicular to the vertical axis and to the at least one impeller axis.
- a rotation about the vertical axis in particular simplifies a movement of the sliding wall element on a curved path or an arrangement of a plurality of sliding wall elements in a parking position. Enabling a pivoting movement about a transverse axis has the particular advantage that contacting the corresponding running profile can be ensured at all times by an impeller driven by the drive unit in a profile element of the ceiling guide.
- the carriage has at least one arrangement element, the at least one arrangement element being arranged in particular on the carriage housing and / or on the suspension element, and wherein the arrangement element has two or more receiving positions for receiving a guide element, in particular a guide roller.

- a plurality of arrangement elements can also be provided.
- guide elements can be arranged on the carriage, particularly preferably arbitrarily, selectively and / or reversibly. Such guide elements can be used, for example, to position the carriage in a central position in a profile element of a ceiling guide of a sliding wall system, for example.
- the guide elements used which can particularly preferably be designed as guide rollers, or the receiving position in which a guide element is arranged
- it is also possible, in conjunction with counter-guide elements in switch sections of the profile elements, to determine a running direction of the carriage in the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system are provided, wherein in particular actively controlled and / or moving devices or elements for determining this direction of travel can be dispensed with.
- the carriage and thereby, in particular, a sliding wall system as a whole can be simplified.
- a sliding wall system comprising at least one profile element of a ceiling guide of the sliding wall system, the carriage and a sliding wall element, the carriage being designed as described, the sliding wall element being fastened to the suspension element of the carriage and the carriage being movably arranged in the profile element , and furthermore, the profile element has a first running profile, a second running profile and a profile gap, which is preferably arranged between the first running profile and the second running profile, the running wheels being arranged on one of the running profiles in each case and the suspension element passing through extends the profile gap.
- the impellers via which a weight of the sliding wall element is transmitted to the profile element, are also arranged on both sides of the profile gap, as a result of which a particularly good and uniform loading of the profile element can be achieved.
- the sliding wall system has a plurality of carriages with a sliding wall element arranged thereon.
- the profile element has at least one switch section in which a running path, which has at least the running profiles and the profile gap, bifurcates into at least a first path section and a second path section.
- a switch section By means of such a switch section, it can thus be provided that the carriage can run through different running paths in the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system. This is advantageous, for example, when moving the sliding wall elements into a parking position.
- the first carriage can be guided to the first path section and the second carriage to the second path section in the switch section.
- a parallel arrangement of several sliding wall elements in the parking position can be made possible.
- Such a switch section enables a large number of design variants in the provision of a path for sliding wall elements in a sliding wall system, it being possible for a number of the design variants to be increased even further by the presence of a plurality of such switch sections in the profile element.
- At least one of the running wheels has a circumferential running surface that is shortened along the at least one running wheel axis, the running surface being offset radially by one running shoulder from the rest of the running wheel, and that the at least one switch section has a raised element for compensating for the stepped running surface of the switch section, the elevation element having a height corresponding to the running heel.
- an appropriately designed impeller has two different outer radii, which differ in size by the running heel.
- Such stepped impellers have the particular advantage that there is a narrower contact line between the tread and the corresponding tread of the profile element, which in particular can improve a cornering property of such an impeller.
- the switch section has an elevation element.
- the height of this elevation element corresponds to the running heel, in other words the elevation element protrudes from the running profiles with a height that corresponds to the running heel.
- the elevation element is arranged in the switch section in such a way that it contacts a non-offset part of an impeller as soon as the offset tread of the respective impeller reaches the profile gap and plunges into it.
- the impeller lies on the elevation element via its non-offset part, and immersion of the impeller in the profile gap can be reliably avoided.
- the elevation element is designed to compensate for the stepped running surface when passing through the switch section.
- a particularly preferred location of such an elevation element is, in particular, that position within a switch section at which the running path bifurcates into its first and second running sections.
- the sliding wall system can particularly preferably be further developed such that the elevation element is diamond-shaped.
- the elevation element is diamond-shaped.
- Such a diamond-shaped design of the elevation element in particular if the elevation element is arranged at the fork position described above, within the switch section, prevents the impeller from being immersed in the profile gap, in particular regardless of which of the two path sections the carriage strikes when passing through the switch section. A particularly even passage through the switch section can thus be provided for all route variants.
- the sliding wall system can also be designed such that the carriage has at least one guide element and that the profile element, in particular the switch section, has at least one counter-guide element for contacting guidance of the guide element.
- the guide elements can preferably be arranged on the carriage by means of arrangement elements, in particular any, optional and / or reversible. Such guide elements can be used, for example, to position the carriage in a central position in a profile element of a ceiling guide of a sliding wall system will.
- a determination of a direction of travel or a path of the carriage can also be determined, in particular in cooperation with counter-guide elements in switch sections of the profile elements the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system.
- the counter-guide elements are designed in the switch section for contact-guiding the guide elements. This means that, in particular, actively controlled devices or elements for determining this direction of travel can be dispensed with. In this way, a sliding wall system according to the invention can be simplified overall.
- the switch section has at least one positioning element for optional positioning, in particular for optional reversible positioning, of the counter-guide element on the switch section, wherein a position of the counter-guide element on the positioning element defines the path of the carriage through the switch section.
- Positioning elements of this type can thus be used to determine a path of a carriage through the switch section.
- the decisive factor here can be the receiving positions at which guide elements are arranged on the carriage. Through the interaction of the guide elements of the carriage and the counter-guide elements of the switch section, it is thus particularly easy to determine a path of the carriage.
- both an arrangement of the guide elements on the carriage and an arrangement of the counter-guide elements on the switch section can be carried out selectively and preferably reversibly, it can also be provided that a change of a path once set can also be carried out at a later time without any problems. This can increase flexibility when planning a sliding system.

Ein derartiger Antriebswagen weist eine Antriebseinheit auf, die zum Antreiben eines Laufrads ausgebildet ist und so eine angetriebene und automatische Bewegung des Schiebewandelements entlang der Deckenführung ermöglicht.The present invention relates to a sliding wall system with a carriage for a sliding wall element of the sliding wall system, comprising a carriage housing, a first impeller, a second impeller and a suspension element, the impellers being rotatably supported by at least one bearing device with respect to the carriage housing about at least one impeller axis, and wherein the suspension element protrudes from the carriage housing in and / or on the carriage housing such that a sliding wall element can be fastened to the suspension element. Sliding wall systems are used to variably close and reopen openings in rooms. Such sliding wall systems can also be used for a variable division of rooms. Sliding wall systems have, in particular, a plurality of sliding wall elements, each of which is movably guided by at least one carriage in a profile element of a ceiling guide of the sliding wall system. It is known to at least partially design these sliding wall systems automatically, i.e. in particular that at least one of the carriages is designed as a drive carriage. Such a drive carriage has a drive unit which is designed to drive an impeller and thus enables a driven and automatic movement of the sliding wall element along the ceiling guide.
Bei derartigen Schiebewandanlagen ist es bekannt, für eine Verzweigung einer Fahrspur in einem Profilelement der Deckenführung einen oder mehrere Weichenabschnitte vorzusehen. Auch ein Kreuzen von Fahrspuren kann durch derartige Weichenabschnitte ermöglicht werden. Da die verwendeten Profilelemente zumindest ein Laufprofil, zumeist zwei Laufprofile, auf denen Laufräder eines Laufwagens bewegbar angeordnet sind, und einen Profilspalt aufweisen, durch den insbesondere ein Aufhängungselement des Laufwagens hindurchragen kann, kommt es in den Weichenabschnitten oftmals unweigerlich zu einem Überfahren des Profilspalts durch zumindest eines der Laufräder des Laufwagens. Nachteilig hierbei ist, dass dabei das Laufrad zumindest kurzzeitig teilweise in den Profilspalt eintaucht, wodurch eine wenigstens einseitige Absenkung des Laufwagens und damit des daran befestigten Schiebewandelements einhergeht. Dadurch kann eine zumindest kurze Erhöhung des Rollwiderstands beim Bewegen des Schiebewandelements erzeugt werden.In such sliding wall systems, it is known to provide one or more switch sections for branching a lane in a profile element of the ceiling guide. Crossing of lanes can also be made possible by such switch sections. Since the profile elements used have at least one running profile, usually two running profiles, on which the running wheels of a carriage are movably arranged, and have a profile gap through which In particular, a suspension element of the carriage can protrude through, in the switch sections often inevitably overrun the profile gap by at least one of the wheels of the carriage. The disadvantage here is that the impeller at least briefly dips into the profile gap, which results in an at least one-sided lowering of the carriage and thus of the sliding wall element attached to it. As a result, an at least brief increase in rolling resistance can be generated when the sliding wall element is moved.
Gemäß dem Stand der Technik ist bekannt, diese Problematik dadurch zu lösen, dass der Laufwagen zumindest zweispurig mit zwei voneinander beabstandeten Laufradachsen ausgebildet ist, wobei jede dieser Spuren zwei Laufräder aufweist. Durch eine geeignete Wahl des Abstands der Laufradachsen kann sichergestellt werden, dass zu jeder Zeit zumindest zwei Laufräder Kontakt mit dem Laufprofil des Profilelements aufweisen. Nachteilig ist hierbei, dass für jeden Laufwagen zumindest vier Laufräder nötig sind und dass, bedingt durch den Abstand der Laufachsen, die Laufwägen darüber hinaus einen hohen Bauraumbedarf aufweisen. Auch ein Befahren von Kurvenbahnen kann durch diese zweispurige Ausgestaltung erschwert werden, insbesondere hinsichtlich eines nötigen Kraftaufwands, da für das Befahren einer Kurvenbahn im Profilelement insbesondere ein Schlupfen oder Gleiten der Laufräder in der Kurvenbahn erforderlich ist. Eine weitere Möglichkeit gemäß dem Stand der Technik besteht darin, in den Weichenabschnitten des Profilelements Schaltelemente vorzusehen, die für eine Durchfahrt des Laufwagens den entsprechenden Profilspalt überbrücken. Dies ist jedoch mechanisch aufwändig und bedarf einer Ansteuerung des Schaltelements bei jeder Durchfahrt des Laufwagens. Hohe Kosten, bereits bei der Herstellung als auch beim Betrieb einer derartig ausgebildeten Schiebewandanlage, können dadurch entstehen.According to the prior art, it is known to solve this problem in that the carriage is designed at least in two lanes with two spaced-apart wheel axes, each of these tracks having two wheels. A suitable choice of the distance between the impeller axles can ensure that at least two impellers are in contact with the tread of the profile element at all times. The disadvantage here is that at least four wheels are required for each carriage and that, due to the spacing of the running axes, the carriages also require a large amount of installation space. Driving on curved tracks can also be made more difficult by this two-lane configuration, in particular with regard to the effort required, since slipping or sliding of the running wheels in the curved track is particularly necessary for driving on a curved track in the profile element. Another possibility according to the prior art is to provide switching elements in the switch sections of the profile element which bridge the corresponding profile gap for passage of the carriage. However, this is mechanically complex and requires the switching element to be actuated each time the carriage passes. This can result in high costs, both in the manufacture and in the operation of such a sliding wall system.
Es ist somit Aufgabe der Erfindung, die oben beschriebenen Nachteile von Laufwägen für ein Schiebewandelement einer Schiebewandanlage sowie von Schiebewandanlagen zumindest teilweise zu beheben. Insbesondere ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Schiebewandanlage bereitzustellen, bei der auf besonders einfache und kostengünstige Art und Weise ein Durchfahren eines Weichenabschnitts verbessert werden kann, wobei ein Eintauchen eines Laufrads in einen Profilspalt des Weichenabschnitts verhindert werden kann.It is therefore an object of the invention to at least partially remedy the disadvantages of carriages for a sliding wall element of a sliding wall system and sliding wall systems described above. In particular, it is an object of the invention to provide a sliding wall system in which driving through a switch section can be improved in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner, wherein immersion of an impeller in a profile gap of the switch section can be prevented.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Schiebewandanlage mit einem Laufwagen für ein Schiebewandelement der Schiebewandanlage mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1. Dabei gelten Merkmale und Details, die im Zusammenhang mit dem Laufwagen beschrieben sind, selbstverständlich auch in Verbindung mit der erfindungsgemäßen Schiebewandanlage.This object is achieved by a sliding wall system with a carriage for a sliding wall element of the sliding wall system with the features of independent claim 1. Features and details that are described in connection with the carriage also apply, of course, in connection with the sliding wall system according to the invention.
Der Laufwagen für das Schiebewandelement der Schiebewandanlage weist ein Wagengehäuse, ein erstes Laufrad, ein zweites Laufrad sowie ein Aufhängungselement auf, wobei die Laufräder durch zumindest eine Lagerungsvorrichtung in Bezug auf das Wagengehäuse um zumindest eine Laufradachse drehbar gelagert sind, und wobei ferner das Aufhängungselement derart aus dem Wagengehäuse hervorstehend im und/oder am Wagengehäuse angeordnet ist, dass ein Schiebewandelement am Aufhängungselement befestigbar ist. Der Laufwagen ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass eine Erstreckung wenigstens eines der Laufräder in Richtung entlang der zumindest einen Laufradachse zumindest eineinhalb Mal so groß, bevorzugt zwei bis drei Mal so groß, maximal viermal so groß ist wie eine Erstreckung des Aufhängungselements in dieser Richtung.The carriage for the sliding wall element of the sliding wall system has a carriage housing, a first impeller, a second impeller and a suspension element, the impellers being rotatably supported by at least one bearing device with respect to the carriage housing about at least one impeller axis, and further comprising the suspension element protruding from the carriage housing in and / or on the carriage housing, that a sliding wall element can be fastened to the suspension element. The carriage is characterized in that an extension of at least one of the wheels in the direction along the at least one wheel axis is at least one and a half times as large, preferably two to three times as large, and at most four times as large as an extension of the suspension element in this direction.
Der Laufwagen ist für eine Verwendung in der Schiebewandanlage vorgesehen. Ein Wagengehäuse stellt für zumindest einen Teil des Laufwagens ein Volumen bereit, in dem dieser Teil des Laufwagens angeordnet ist. Ein Schutz vor Beschädigung und/oder Verschmutzung kann dadurch bereitgestellt werden. Das erste und das zweite Laufrad sind zum Kontaktieren einer Lauffläche, bevorzugt jeweils einer Lauffläche, eines Profilelements einer Deckenführung der Schiebewandanlage ausgebildet, wodurch eine Bewegung des Laufwagens im Profilelement der Deckenführung der Schiebewandanlage ermöglicht wird. Die beiden Laufräder weisen dabei zumindest eine Laufradachse auf, um die das jeweilige Laufrad drehbar im Laufwagen gelagert ist, wobei bevorzugt die beiden Laufräder zueinander koaxial angeordnet sind und somit eine gemeinsame Laufradachse aufweisen. Eine Lagerungsvorrichtung ermöglicht dabei diese Bewegung, wobei durch die Lagerungsrichtung insbesondere beispielsweise auch Reibungsverluste einer Rotation der Laufräder verringert bzw. minimiert werden können. Ferner weist der Laufwagen ein Aufhängungselement auf, an dem das Schiebewandelement der Schiebewandanlage befestigt ist. Das Aufhängungselement kann dabei innerhalb des Wagengehäuses oder auch direkt am Wagengehäuse befestigt sein. Ausschlaggebend ist, dass das Aufhängungselement aus dem Wagengehäuse derart hervorragt, dass das Schiebewandelement daran befestigbar ist. In dem Profilelement, auf dem der Antriebswagen bewegbar angeordnet ist, ist ein Profilspalt vorgesehen, durch den das Aufhängungselement ebenfalls hindurchragt. Somit kontaktieren die Laufräder des Antriebswagens das Profilelement auf einer Seite, das Aufhängungselement ragt durch den Profilspalt hindurch und das Schiebewandelement ist dann am Aufhängungselement auf der anderen, gegenüberliegenden Seite des Profilelements befestigt. Bei Schiebewandanlagen kann das Schiebewandelement bereits durch nur einen Laufwagen gehalten sein. Ein derartiges Halten kann aber auch durch mehrere Laufwägen und/oder einer Kombination aus einem oder mehreren Laufwagen und einem oder mehreren Antriebswägen, die eine Antriebseinheit aufweisen, bereitgestellt werden.The carriage is intended for use in the sliding wall system. A carriage housing provides a volume for at least a part of the carriage in which this part of the carriage is arranged. Protection against damage and / or contamination can thereby be provided. The first and that second impellers are designed to contact a tread, preferably one tread each, of a profile element of a ceiling guide of the sliding wall system, whereby movement of the carriage in the profile element of the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system is made possible. The two impellers have at least one impeller axis, about which the respective impeller is rotatably mounted in the carriage, the two impellers preferably being arranged coaxially with one another and thus having a common impeller axis. A bearing device enables this movement, wherein the bearing direction, in particular, for example, also reduces or minimizes friction losses caused by rotation of the impellers. Furthermore, the carriage has a suspension element to which the sliding wall element of the sliding wall system is attached. The suspension element can be fastened inside the car body or directly on the car body. It is crucial that the suspension element protrudes from the carriage housing in such a way that the sliding wall element can be attached to it. In the profile element on which the drive car is movably arranged, a profile gap is provided, through which the suspension element also projects. Thus, the wheels of the drive car contact the profile element on one side, the suspension element protrudes through the profile gap and the sliding wall element is then attached to the suspension element on the other, opposite side of the profile element. In sliding wall systems, the sliding wall element can already be held by only one carriage. Such holding can, however, also be provided by a plurality of carriages and / or a combination of one or more carriages and one or more drive carriages which have a drive unit.
Der Laufwagen ist derart ausgebildet, dass eine Erstreckung des Laufrads an eine entsprechende Erstreckung des Aufhängungselements in einer Richtung entlang der zumindest einen Laufradachse angepasst ausgebildet ist. Das Laufrad weist dabei in dieser, auch axial genannten, Richtung eine Größe auf, die mindestens eineinhalb Mal so groß ist als eine entsprechende Erstreckung des Aufhängungselements in diese Richtung. Bevorzugt sind alle Laufräder des Laufwagens mit einer entsprechend großen axialen Erstreckung ausgebildet.The carriage is designed in such a way that an extension of the impeller is adapted to a corresponding extension of the suspension element in a direction along the at least one impeller axis. The impeller has a size in this direction, also referred to axially, which is at least one and a half times as large as a corresponding extension of the suspension element in this direction. All the wheels of the carriage are preferably designed with a correspondingly large axial extent.
Die Laufräder des Laufwagens sind auf zumindest einem Laufprofil des Profilelements der Deckenführung der Schiebewandanlage bewegbar angeordnet und das Aufhängungselement erstreckt sich durch den Profilspalt des Profilelements hindurch. Bei einem Weichenabschnitt teilt sich neben dem Laufweg auch der Profilspalt auf, wodurch beim Durchfahren des Weichenabschnitts zumindest mit einem Laufrad der Profilspalt überfahren wird. Eine Breite des Profilspalts ist zumeist an eine Größe der Erstreckung des Aufhängungselements in Richtung der Laufradachse angepasst ausgebildet. Bevorzugt ist die entsprechende Größe des Profilspalts möglichst derart ausgebildet, dass eine Bewegung des Aufhängungselements bei einer Bewegung des Laufwagens im Laufprofil nicht behindert wird, und gleichzeitig dennoch die Ausdehnung des Profilspalts möglichst klein ist. Durch ein Anpassen einer axialen Erstreckung mindestens eines der Laufräder, bevorzugt beider Laufräder, an eine entsprechende Erstreckung des Aufhängungselements kann somit automatisch auch eine angepasste Ausbildung der Erstreckung der Laufräder entlang ihrer Laufradachse hinsichtlich einer Breite des Profilspalts vorgenommen werden. Zumindest eines der Laufräder, bevorzugt alle Laufräder, eines Laufwagens weisen somit eine Erstreckung auf, die größer, insbesondere zumindest eineinhalb Mal größer ist, als eine Erstreckung einer Breite des Profilspalts. Dadurch kann sichergestellt werden, dass auch bei einem Durchfahren eines Weichenabschnitts das zumindest eine Laufrad zu jeder Zeit zumindest mit einem Abschnitt seiner Oberfläche ein Laufprofil des Profilelements kontaktiert. Dabei ist die minimale Größe der Erstreckung des zumindest einen Laufrads von eineinhalb Mal der Erstreckung des Aufhängungselements derart gewählt, dass auch bei einer Abzweigung eines Laufwegs mit einem Winkel von 45°, wodurch eine effektive Verbreiterung des zu überfahrenden Profilspalts um einen Faktor 20,5 ≈ 1,41 bewirkt wird, ein Eintauchen des zumindest einen Laufrads in den überfahrenden Profilspalt sicher vermieden werden kann. Bevorzugt ist die axiale Erstreckung des zumindest einen Laufrads jedoch noch größer ausgebildet, insbesondere zwei bis drei Mal so groß, bis hin zu viermal so groß wie die entsprechende Erstreckung des Aufhängungselements. Ein Eintauchen des zumindest einen Laufrads in den Profilspalt beim Durchfahren des Weichenabschnitts kann dadurch noch sicherer vermieden werden. Ein Durchfahren des Weichenabschnitts des Profilelements in der Deckenführung der Schiebewandanlage kann somit durch den Laufwagen verbessert werden, wobei insbesondere ein zumindest teilweises Eintauchen eines Laufrads des Laufwagens in den Profilspalt vermieden wird. Nachteile, die durch ein derartiges Eintauchen eines Laufrads in einen Profilspalt beim Durchfahren eines Weichenabschnitts auftreten können, beispielsweise eine Erhöhung eines Rollwiderstands oder ein Erfordernis zum Bereitstellen von Schaltelementen zum Überbrücken des Profilspalts, können somit vermieden werden.The wheels of the carriage are movably arranged on at least one running profile of the profile element of the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system and the suspension element extends through the profile gap of the profile element. In the case of a switch section, in addition to the running path, the profile gap also divides, as a result of which the profile gap is run over at least with an impeller when passing through the switch section. A width of the profile gap is usually adapted to a size of the extent of the suspension element in the direction of the impeller axis. The corresponding size of the profile gap is preferably designed such that movement of the suspension element is not hindered when the carriage moves in the running profile, and at the same time the expansion of the profile gap is as small as possible. By adapting an axial extent of at least one of the impellers, preferably both impellers, to a corresponding extent of the suspension element, it is thus also possible automatically to adapt the extent of the impellers along their impeller axis with respect to a width of the profile gap. At least one of the running wheels, preferably all running wheels, of a carriage thus has an extension that is larger, in particular at least one and a half times larger, than an extension of a width of the profile gap. This makes it possible to ensure that even when a switch section is passed through, the at least one impeller always contacts a running profile of the profile element with at least a portion of its surface. The minimum size of the extension of the at least one impeller of one and a half times the extension of the suspension element is selected such that even when a running path branches off at an angle of 45 °, this effectively widening the profile gap to be traversed by a factor of 2 0.5 ≈ 1.41 is caused, immersion of the at least one impeller in the driving profile gap can be safely avoided. However, the axial extent of the at least one impeller is preferably made even larger, in particular two to three times as large as up to four times as large as the corresponding extent of the suspension element. Immersion of the at least one impeller in the profile gap when passing through the switch section can thereby be avoided even more reliably. A drive through The crossover section of the profile element in the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system can thus be improved by the carriage, in particular at least partial immersion of an impeller of the carriage in the profile gap being avoided. Disadvantages that can occur due to such an immersion of an impeller in a profile gap when passing through a switch section, for example an increase in rolling resistance or a requirement to provide switching elements for bridging the profile gap, can thus be avoided.
Der Laufwagen ist für eine Verwendung mit dem Profilelement der Deckenführung der Schiebewandanlage vorgesehen, das Profilelement aufweisend ein erstes Laufprofil, ein zweites Laufprofil und einen Profilspalt, welcher bevorzugt zwischen dem ersten Laufprofil und dem zweiten Laufprofil angeordnet ist, wobei im verwendeten Zustand die Laufräder auf je einem der Laufprofile des Profilelements angeordnet sind und sich das Aufhängungselement durch den Profilspalt im Laufprofil erstreckt, und wobei ferner die Erstreckung wenigstens eines der Laufräder in Richtung entlang der zumindest einen Laufradachse zumindest eineinhalb Mal so groß, bevorzugt zwei bis drei Mal so groß, maximal viermal so groß ist wie eine Erstreckung des Profilspalts in diese Richtung. In dieser Ausgestaltung des Laufwagens wird eine axiale Erstreckung zumindest eines der Laufräder, bevorzugt aller Laufräder, nicht nur an eine entsprechende Erstreckung des Aufhängungselements sondern zusätzlich auch direkt und unmittelbar an eine entsprechende Erstreckung des Profilspalts des Profilelements, mit dem der Laufwagen verwendet werden soll, angepasst ausgebildet. Durch den Laufwagen soll bei einem Durchfahren eines Weichenabschnitts im Profilelement einer Deckenführung der Schiebewandanlage sicher vermieden werden, dass ein Laufrad in den Profilspalt eintaucht. Durch eine Berücksichtigung der Erstreckung des Profilspalts, die wie oben beschrieben zumeist an eine entsprechende Erstreckung des Aufhängungselements angepasst ist, bei der Ausgestaltung der Laufräder, insbesondere der axialen Erstreckung der Laufräder entlang ihrer Laufradachse, kann dieses Eintauchen noch sicherer vermieden werden. Sämtliche Vorteile, die voranstehend in Bezug auf eine Anpassung der axialen Erstreckung der Laufräder an eine entsprechende Erstreckung des Aufhängungselements beschrieben worden sind, können somit auch bei einer Anpassung der axialen Erstreckung der Laufräder an eine entsprechende Erstreckung des Profilspalts bereitgestellt werden.The carriage is intended for use with the profile element of the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system, the profile element having a first running profile, a second running profile and a profile gap, which is preferably arranged between the first running profile and the second running profile, the running wheels depending on the used state one of the running profiles of the profile element are arranged and the suspension element extends through the profile gap in the running profile, and furthermore the extension of at least one of the running wheels in the direction along the at least one running wheel axis is at least one and a half times as large, preferably two to three times as large, and a maximum of four times is as large as an extension of the profile gap in this direction. In this embodiment of the carriage, an axial extension of at least one of the wheels, preferably all of the wheels, is not only adapted to a corresponding extension of the suspension element but also also directly and directly to a corresponding extension of the profile gap of the profile element with which the carriage is to be used educated. The carriage is intended to reliably prevent a running wheel from immersing itself in the profile gap when passing through a switch section in the profile element of a ceiling guide of the sliding wall system. By taking into account the extent of the profile gap, which, as described above, is usually adapted to a corresponding extent of the suspension element, when designing the running wheels, This immersion can be avoided even more reliably, in particular the axial extension of the impellers along their impeller axis. All the advantages described above in relation to an adaptation of the axial extent of the impellers to a corresponding extent of the suspension element are thus can be provided even with an adaptation of the axial extension of the impellers to a corresponding extension of the profile gap.
Ferner kann der Laufwagen dahingehend ausgebildet sein, dass der Laufwagen als ein Antriebswagen ausgebildet ist und eine Antriebseinheit mit einem elektrischen Antrieb aufweist, welcher zumindest teilweise im Inneren des ersten Laufrads angeordnet ist und für ein Antreiben des ersten Laufrads mit dem ersten Laufrad durch ein erstes Koppelelement mechanisch gekoppelt ist. Mit anderen Worten wird das Innere des ersten Laufrads verwendet, um zumindest teilweise einen Bauraum für den elektrischen Antrieb zur Verfügung zu stellen. Somit ist es möglich, das Volumen des Laufrads für den elektrischen Antrieb bzw. die Antriebseinheit zu verwenden. Über ein erstes Koppelelement wird ein Antriebsmoment des elektrischen Antriebs auf das erste Laufrad übertragen. Das erste Koppelelement kann beispielsweise ein Getriebe, insbesondere ein Planetengetriebe sein. Auch eine direkte Ausgestaltung zumindest eines Teils des ersten Laufrads als Bestandteil des elektrischen Antriebs, beispielsweise als Rotor des elektrischen Antriebs, stellt ein erstes Koppelelement im Sinne der Erfindung dar. Insgesamt kann durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung des elektrischen Antriebs zumindest teilweise im Inneren des ersten Laufrads bereitgestellt werden, dass kein oder zumindest nur wenig zusätzlicher Bauraum für die Anordnung der Antriebseinheit bereitgestellt werden muss. Ein Unterschied im Bauraumbedarf zwischen einem als Antriebswagen ausgebildeten Laufwagen und einem Laufwagen, der keine Antriebseinheit aufweist, kann dadurch minimiert werden. Sämtliche Vorteile, die in Bezug auf einen Laufwagen ohne Antriebseinheit beschrieben worden sind, können somit auch durch den Laufwagen bereitgestellt werden, der als Antriebswagen ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, the carriage can be designed such that the carriage is designed as a drive carriage and has a drive unit with an electric drive, which is arranged at least partially inside the first impeller and for driving the first impeller with the first impeller by means of a first coupling element is mechanically coupled. In other words, the interior of the first impeller is used to at least partially provide space for the electric drive. It is thus possible to use the volume of the impeller for the electric drive or the drive unit. A drive torque of the electric drive is transmitted to the first impeller via a first coupling element. The first coupling element can be, for example, a gear, in particular a planetary gear. A first coupling element in the sense of the invention also represents a direct configuration of at least part of the first impeller as part of the electric drive, for example as a rotor of the electric drive. Overall, the inventive arrangement of the electric drive can at least partially provide the interior of the first impeller be that no or at least only little additional space must be provided for the arrangement of the drive unit. A difference in the space requirement between a carriage designed as a drive carriage and a carriage that has no drive unit can be minimized as a result. All the advantages that have been described in relation to a carriage without a drive unit can thus also be provided by the carriage, which is designed as a drive carriage.
Auch kann bei dem Laufwagen vorgesehen sein, dass das Aufhängungselement ein Lagerelement zur Ermöglichung einer Rotation des Schiebewandelements um zumindest eine Achse senkrecht zur axialen Erstreckung der Laufräder aufweist. Ein derartiges Lagerelement kann beispielsweise als ein Dreh-Schwenkgelenk ausgebildet sein. Ein derartiges Dreh-Schwenkgelenk kann beispielsweise über ein Wälzlager eine rotatorische Bewegung um eine Hochachse, die senkrecht sowohl zu einer Bewegungsrichtung des Laufwagens in der Deckenführung als auch zur zumindest einen Laufradachse ausgerichtet ist, und über zumindest einen horizontalen Bolzen eine Schwenkbewegung des Schiebewandelements um eine Querachse, die senkrecht zur Hochachse und zur zumindest einen Laufradachse ausgerichtet ist, ermöglichen. Eine Rotation um die Hochachse vereinfacht insbesondere eine Bewegung des Schiebewandelements auf einer Kurvenbahn bzw. ein Anordnen mehrerer Schiebewandelemente in einer Parkposition. Das Ermöglichen einer Schwenkbewegung um eine Querachse hat insbesondere den Vorteil, dass ein Kontaktieren des entsprechenden Laufprofils durch ein durch die Antriebseinheit angetriebenes Laufrad in einem Profilelement der Deckenführung zu jeder Zeit sichergestellt werden kann.It can also be provided in the carriage that the suspension element has a bearing element to enable rotation of the sliding wall element about at least one axis perpendicular to the axial extension of the wheels. Such a bearing element can be designed, for example, as a rotary swivel joint. Such a rotary swivel joint can, for example, use a rolling bearing to perform a rotational movement about a vertical axis that is perpendicular to both a direction of movement of the carriage in the ceiling guide and to is aligned at least one impeller axis, and allow at least one horizontal bolt to pivot the sliding wall element about a transverse axis which is oriented perpendicular to the vertical axis and to the at least one impeller axis. A rotation about the vertical axis in particular simplifies a movement of the sliding wall element on a curved path or an arrangement of a plurality of sliding wall elements in a parking position. Enabling a pivoting movement about a transverse axis has the particular advantage that contacting the corresponding running profile can be ensured at all times by an impeller driven by the drive unit in a profile element of the ceiling guide.
Ferner kann bei dem Laufwagen vorgesehen sein, dass der Laufwagen zumindest ein Anordnungselement aufweist, wobei das zumindest eine Anordnungselement insbesondere am Wagengehäuse und/oder am Aufhängungselement angeordnet ist, und wobei das Anordnungselement zwei oder mehr Aufnahmepositionen aufweist zur Aufnahme eines Leitelements, insbesondere einer Leitrolle. Das Anordnungselement kann beispielsweise einteilig mit dem Wagengehäuse und/oder dem Aufhängungselement ausgebildet sein. Auch ein Vorhandensein von mehreren Anordnungselementen kann vorgesehen sein. Durch derartige Anordnungselemente können, insbesondere bevorzugt beliebig, wahlweise und/oder reversibel, Leitelemente an dem Laufwagen angeordnet werden. Derartige Leitelemente können beispielsweise zu einem insbesondere mittigen Positionieren des Laufwagens in einem Profilelement einer Deckenführung einer Schiebewandanlage eingesetzt werden. Durch eine Wahl der verwendeten Leitelemente, die insbesondere bevorzugt als Leitrollen ausgebildet sein können, bzw. der Aufnahmeposition, in der ein Leitelement angeordnet ist, können ferner bevorzugt in Zusammenspiel mit Gegenleitelementen in Weichenabschnitten der Profilelemente eine Bestimmung einer Laufrichtung des Laufwagen in der Deckenführung der Schiebewandanlage bereitgestellt werden, wobei insbesondere auf aktiv angesteuerte und/oder bewegte Vorrichtungen bzw. Elemente zur Bestimmung dieser Laufrichtung verzichtet werden kann. Auf diese Weise kann der Laufwagen und dadurch insbesondere auch eine Schiebewandanlage insgesamt vereinfacht werden.Furthermore, it can be provided in the carriage that the carriage has at least one arrangement element, the at least one arrangement element being arranged in particular on the carriage housing and / or on the suspension element, and wherein the arrangement element has two or more receiving positions for receiving a guide element, in particular a guide roller. The arrangement element can, for example, be formed in one piece with the carriage housing and / or the suspension element. A plurality of arrangement elements can also be provided. By means of such arrangement elements, guide elements can be arranged on the carriage, particularly preferably arbitrarily, selectively and / or reversibly. Such guide elements can be used, for example, to position the carriage in a central position in a profile element of a ceiling guide of a sliding wall system, for example. Through a choice of the guide elements used, which can particularly preferably be designed as guide rollers, or the receiving position in which a guide element is arranged, it is also possible, in conjunction with counter-guide elements in switch sections of the profile elements, to determine a running direction of the carriage in the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system are provided, wherein in particular actively controlled and / or moving devices or elements for determining this direction of travel can be dispensed with. In this way, the carriage and thereby, in particular, a sliding wall system as a whole can be simplified.
Gemäß der Erfindung wird die Aufgabe gelöst durch eine Schiebewandanlage, aufweisend zumindest ein Profilelement einer Deckenführung der Schiebewandanlage, den Laufwagen und ein Schiebewandelement, wobei der Laufwagen wie beschrieben ausgebildet ist, das Schiebewandelement am Aufhängungselement des Laufwagens befestigt ist und der Laufwagen im Profilelement bewegbar angeordnet ist, und wobei ferner das Profilelement ein erstes Laufprofil, ein zweites Laufprofil und einen Profilspalt, welcher bevorzugt zwischen dem ersten Laufprofil und dem zweiten Laufprofil angeordnet ist, aufweist, wobei im verwendeten Zustand die Laufräder auf je einem der Laufprofile angeordnet sind und sich das Aufhängungselement durch den Profilspalt erstreckt. Auf diese Weise sind die Laufräder, über die eine Gewichtskraft des Schiebewandelements auf das Profilelement übertragen wird, ebenfalls auf beiden Seiten des Profilspalts angeordnet, wodurch eine besonders gute und gleichmäßige Belastung des Profilelements erreicht werden kann. Ferner kann bevorzugt vorgesehen sein, dass die Schiebewandanlage mehrere Laufwägen mit daran angeordnetem Schiebewandelement aufweist.According to the invention, the object is achieved by a sliding wall system, comprising at least one profile element of a ceiling guide of the sliding wall system, the carriage and a sliding wall element, the carriage being designed as described, the sliding wall element being fastened to the suspension element of the carriage and the carriage being movably arranged in the profile element , and furthermore, the profile element has a first running profile, a second running profile and a profile gap, which is preferably arranged between the first running profile and the second running profile, the running wheels being arranged on one of the running profiles in each case and the suspension element passing through extends the profile gap. In this way, the impellers, via which a weight of the sliding wall element is transmitted to the profile element, are also arranged on both sides of the profile gap, as a result of which a particularly good and uniform loading of the profile element can be achieved. Furthermore, it can preferably be provided that the sliding wall system has a plurality of carriages with a sliding wall element arranged thereon.
Erfindungsgemäß weist das Profilelement zumindest einen Weichenabschnitt auf, in dem sich ein Laufweg, welcher zumindest die Laufprofile und den Profilspalt aufweist, in zumindest einen ersten Wegabschnitt und einen zweiten Wegabschnitt gabelt. Durch einen derartigen Weichenabschnitt kann somit bereitgestellt werden, dass der Laufwagen in der Deckenführung der Schiebewandanlage verschiedene Laufwege durchlaufen kann. Dies ist beispielsweise bei einem Verbringen der Schiebewandelemente in eine Parkposition von Vorteil. So kann dort beispielsweise bei einem Schiebewandelement, das durch zwei Laufwägen gehalten ist, der erste Laufwagen auf den ersten Wegabschnitt und der zweite Laufwagen auf den zweiten Wegabschnitt im Weichenabschnitt geleitet werden. Ein zueinander paralleles Anordnen von mehreren Schiebewandelementen in der Parkposition kann dadurch ermöglicht werden. Insgesamt kann durch einen derartigen Weichenabschnitt eine Vielzahl von Gestaltungvarianten bei der Bereitstellung eines Laufwegs für Schiebewandelemente bei einer Schiebewandanlage ermöglicht werden, wobei eine Anzahl der Gestaltungsvarianten durch ein Vorhandensein mehrerer derartiger Weichenabschnitte im Profilelement noch weiter erhöht werden kann.According to the invention, the profile element has at least one switch section in which a running path, which has at least the running profiles and the profile gap, bifurcates into at least a first path section and a second path section. By means of such a switch section, it can thus be provided that the carriage can run through different running paths in the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system. This is advantageous, for example, when moving the sliding wall elements into a parking position. For example, in the case of a sliding wall element which is held by two carriages, the first carriage can be guided to the first path section and the second carriage to the second path section in the switch section. A parallel arrangement of several sliding wall elements in the parking position can be made possible. Overall, such a switch section enables a large number of design variants in the provision of a path for sliding wall elements in a sliding wall system, it being possible for a number of the design variants to be increased even further by the presence of a plurality of such switch sections in the profile element.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass zumindest eines der Laufräder eine umlaufende und entlang der zumindest einen Laufradachse verkürzte Lauffläche aufweist, wobei die Lauffläche radial um einen Laufabsatz vom restlichen Laufrad abgesetzt ist, und dass der zumindest eine Weichenabschnitt ein Erhebungselement aufweist zum Ausgleichen der abgesetzten Lauffläche beim Durchlaufen des Weichenabschnitts, wobei das Erhebungselement eine Höhe entsprechend dem Laufabsatz aufweist. Mit anderen Worten weist ein entsprechend ausgebildetes Laufrad zwei unterschiedliche Außenradien auf, die sich in ihrer Größe um den Laufabsatz unterscheiden. Derartige abgesetzte Laufräder haben insbesondere den Vorteil, dass sich eine schmalere Berührlinie zwischen der Lauffläche und dem entsprechenden Laufprofil des Profilelements ergibt, wodurch insbesondere eine Kurvenfahrteigenschaft eines derartig ausgebildeten Laufrads dadurch verbessert werden kann. Nachteilig ist jedoch, dass sich dadurch insgesamt eine axiale Erstreckung derjenigen Lauffläche des Laufrads verkürzt, die mit dem jeweiligen Laufprofil in Kontakt steht. Um ein Eintauchen des Laufrads in den Profilspalt beim Durchfahren eines Weichenabschnitts, das nun zumindest für die Höhe des Laufabsatz wieder möglich ist, zu verhindern, weist der Weichenabschnitt ein Erhebungselement auf. Dieses Erhebungselement ist in seiner Höhe entsprechend dem Laufabsatz ausgebildet, mit anderen Worten ragt das Erhebungselement aus den Laufprofilen mit einer Höhe hervor, die dem Laufabsatz entspricht. Das Erhebungselement ist im Weichenabschnitt derart angeordnet, dass er einen nicht abgesetzten Teil eines Laufrads kontaktiert, sobald die abgesetzte Lauffläche des jeweiligen Laufrads den Profilspalt erreicht und in diesen eintauchen würde. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt liegt somit das Laufrad über seinen nicht abgesetzten Teil auf dem Erhebungselement auf und ein Eintauchen des Laufrads in den Profilspalt sicher vermieden werden. Mit anderen Worten ist das Erhebungselement zum Ausgleichen der abgesetzten Lauffläche beim Durchlaufen des Weichenabschnitts ausgebildet. Ein besonders bevorzugter Anordnungsort eines derartigen Erhebungselements stellt dabei insbesondere diejenige Position innerhalb eines Weichenabschnitts dar, an der sich der Laufweg in seinen ersten und zweiten Laufabschnitt gabelt.According to the invention, it is provided that at least one of the running wheels has a circumferential running surface that is shortened along the at least one running wheel axis, the running surface being offset radially by one running shoulder from the rest of the running wheel, and that the at least one switch section has a raised element for compensating for the stepped running surface of the switch section, the elevation element having a height corresponding to the running heel. In other words, an appropriately designed impeller has two different outer radii, which differ in size by the running heel. Such stepped impellers have the particular advantage that there is a narrower contact line between the tread and the corresponding tread of the profile element, which in particular can improve a cornering property of such an impeller. However, it is disadvantageous that overall an axial extension of the tread of the impeller that is in contact with the respective tread is shortened. In order to prevent the impeller from dipping into the profile gap when passing through a switch section, which is now possible again at least for the height of the running heel the switch section has an elevation element. The height of this elevation element corresponds to the running heel, in other words the elevation element protrudes from the running profiles with a height that corresponds to the running heel. The elevation element is arranged in the switch section in such a way that it contacts a non-offset part of an impeller as soon as the offset tread of the respective impeller reaches the profile gap and plunges into it. At this time, the impeller lies on the elevation element via its non-offset part, and immersion of the impeller in the profile gap can be reliably avoided. In other words, the elevation element is designed to compensate for the stepped running surface when passing through the switch section. A particularly preferred location of such an elevation element is, in particular, that position within a switch section at which the running path bifurcates into its first and second running sections.
Besonders bevorzugt kann die Schiebewandanlage dahingehend weiterentwickelt sein, dass das Erhebungselement rautenförmig ausgebildet ist. Durch ein derartiges rautenförmiges Ausgestalten des Erhebungselements kann, insbesondere wenn das Erhebungselement an der oben beschriebenen Gabelungsposition innerhalb des Weichenabschnitts angeordnet ist, ein Eintauchen des Laufrads in den Profilspalt insbesondere unabhängig davon verhindert werden, welchen der beiden Wegabschnitte der Laufwagen beim Durchlaufen des Weichenabschnitts einschlägt. Ein besonders gleichmäßiges Durchlaufen des Weichenabschnitts kann somit für alle Laufwegvarianten bereitgestellt werden.The sliding wall system can particularly preferably be further developed such that the elevation element is diamond-shaped. Such a diamond-shaped design of the elevation element, in particular if the elevation element is arranged at the fork position described above, within the switch section, prevents the impeller from being immersed in the profile gap, in particular regardless of which of the two path sections the carriage strikes when passing through the switch section. A particularly even passage through the switch section can thus be provided for all route variants.
Auch kann die Schiebewandanlage dahingehend ausgebildet sein, dass der Laufwagen zumindest ein Leitelement aufweist und dass das Profilelement, insbesondere der Weichenabschnitt, zumindest ein Gegenleitelement zum kontaktierenden Führen des Leitelements aufweist. Die Leitelemente können bevorzugt über Anordnungselemente, insbesondere beliebig, wahlweise und/oder reversibel, an dem Laufwagen angeordnet werden. Derartige Leitelemente können beispielsweise zu einem insbesondere mittigen Positionieren des Laufwagens in einem Profilelement einer Deckenführung einer Schiebewandanlage eingesetzt werden. Durch eine Wahl der verwendeten Leitelemente, die insbesondere bevorzugt als Leitrollen ausgebildet sein können, bzw. einer Aufnahmeposition, in der ein Leitelement angeordnet ist, können ferner insbesondere in Zusammenspiel mit Gegenleitelementen in Weichenabschnitten der Profilelemente eine Bestimmung einer Laufrichtung bzw. eines Laufwegs des Laufwagen in der Deckenführung der Schiebewandanlage bereitgestellt werden. Um dies bereitstellen zu können, sind die Gegenleitelemente im Weichenabschnitt zum kontaktierenden Führen der Leitelemente ausgebildet. Dadurch kann insbesondere auf aktiv angesteuerte Vorrichtungen bzw. Elemente zur Festlegung dieser Laufrichtung verzichtet werden. Auf diese Weise kann eine erfindungsgemäße Schiebewandanlage insgesamt vereinfacht werden.The sliding wall system can also be designed such that the carriage has at least one guide element and that the profile element, in particular the switch section, has at least one counter-guide element for contacting guidance of the guide element. The guide elements can preferably be arranged on the carriage by means of arrangement elements, in particular any, optional and / or reversible. Such guide elements can be used, for example, to position the carriage in a central position in a profile element of a ceiling guide of a sliding wall system will. Through a choice of the guide elements used, which can particularly preferably be designed as guide rollers, or a receiving position in which a guide element is arranged, a determination of a direction of travel or a path of the carriage can also be determined, in particular in cooperation with counter-guide elements in switch sections of the profile elements the ceiling guide of the sliding wall system. In order to be able to provide this, the counter-guide elements are designed in the switch section for contact-guiding the guide elements. This means that, in particular, actively controlled devices or elements for determining this direction of travel can be dispensed with. In this way, a sliding wall system according to the invention can be simplified overall.
Darüber hinaus kann gemäß einer Weiterentwicklung der Schiebewandanlage ferner vorgesehen sein, dass der Weichenabschnitt wenigstens ein Positionierungselement zum wahlweisen Positionieren, insbesondere zum wahlweisen reversiblen Positionieren, des Gegenleitelements am Weichenabschnitt aufweist, wobei eine Position des Gegenleitelements am Positionierungselement den Laufweg des Laufwagens durch den Weichenabschnitt festgelegt. Durch derartige Positionierungselemente kann somit ein Laufweg eines Laufwagens durch den Weichenabschnitt bestimmt werden. Ausschlaggebend hierfür kann dabei sein, an welchen Aufnahmepositionen Leitelemente am Laufwagen angeordnet sind. Durch das Zusammenspiel der Leitelemente des Laufwagens und der Gegenleitelemente des Weichenabschnitts kann somit besonders einfach eine Festlegung eines Laufwegs des Laufwagens bestimmt werden. Da sowohl eine Anordnung der Leitelemente am Laufwagen als auch eine Anordnung der Gegenleitelemente am Weichenabschnitt wahlweise und bevorzugt reversibel durchgeführt werden kann, kann ferner bereitgestellt werden, dass auch eine Änderung eines einmal eingestellten Laufwegs zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt problemlos möglich ist. Eine Flexibilität bei einer Planung einer Schiebeanlage kann dadurch gesteigert werden.Furthermore, according to a further development of the sliding wall system, it can further be provided that the switch section has at least one positioning element for optional positioning, in particular for optional reversible positioning, of the counter-guide element on the switch section, wherein a position of the counter-guide element on the positioning element defines the path of the carriage through the switch section. Positioning elements of this type can thus be used to determine a path of a carriage through the switch section. The decisive factor here can be the receiving positions at which guide elements are arranged on the carriage. Through the interaction of the guide elements of the carriage and the counter-guide elements of the switch section, it is thus particularly easy to determine a path of the carriage. Since both an arrangement of the guide elements on the carriage and an arrangement of the counter-guide elements on the switch section can be carried out selectively and preferably reversibly, it can also be provided that a change of a path once set can also be carried out at a later time without any problems. This can increase flexibility when planning a sliding system.
