Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein verfahrbares Trennwandelement für eine verfahrbare Raumtrennwand.The invention relates to a movable partition element for a movable room partition.

Büros, Hotels, Messen und Ateliers sind immer stärker auf eine flexible und effiziente Raumnutzung angewiesen. Gefragt sind intelligente Lösungen, die eine multifunktionale und zugleich offene Raumgestaltung ermöglichen. Mit beweglichen bzw. verfahrbaren Trennwänden stehen Raumtrennsysteme zur Verfügung, die schallgedämmte und transparente Raumkonzepte harmonisch miteinander kombinieren können. In der aktuellen Entwicklung von Trennwandsystemen steigen die Anforderungen an individuelle und flexible Raumgestaltungen. Trennwandsysteme werden nicht mehr ausschließlich zum kompletten Trennen von Räumen genutzt, sondern immer häufiger zur Raumgestaltung, zur teilweisen Raumtrennung und für Sonderstellungen (z.B. als Windfang).Offices, hotels, trade fairs and studios are increasingly dependent on flexible and efficient use of space. Intelligent solutions that enable multifunctional and at the same time open room design are in demand. With movable or movable partition walls, room partition systems are available that can harmoniously combine soundproofed and transparent room concepts. In the current development of partition wall systems, the requirements for individual and flexible room designs are increasing. Partition wall systems are no longer used exclusively for the complete separation of rooms, but more and more often for room design, for partial room separation and for special positions (e.g. as a vestibule).

Das Trennwandelement weist jeweils eine am oberen und am unteren Rand angeordnete und von einer Betätigungseinrichtung aus- und einfahrbare, an der Decke bzw. dem Boden zur Anlage bringbare Dichtleiste auf. Zusätzlich weist das Trennwandelement einen aus einer der beiden Stirnseiten des Trennwandelementes herausbewegbaren Abdrücker und einen Antrieb für die Betätigungseinrichtung auf. Der Abdrücker ist mit der Betätigungseinrichtung derart gekoppelt, dass er durch die das Einfahren der Dichtleisten bewirkende Bewegung der Betätigungseinrichtung aus der Stirnseite herausgefahren und nach Erreichen einer maximal ausgezogenen Stellung wieder in die Stirnseite hineinbewegt wird.the DE 39 42 781 C1 discloses a partition element for a movable partition. The partition element has in each case a sealing strip which is arranged on the upper and lower edge and can be extended and retracted by an actuating device and can be brought into contact with the ceiling or floor. In addition, the partition element has a push-button that can be moved out of one of the two end faces of the partition element and a drive for the actuating device. The extractor is coupled to the actuating device in such a way that it is caused by the movement that causes the retraction of the sealing strips Actuating device is moved out of the front side and is moved back into the front side after reaching a maximum extended position.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein verbessertes, verfahrbares Trennwandelement zu schaffen, das flexibler als die im Stand der Technik bekannten Trennwandsysteme einsetzbar ist.The invention is based on the object of creating an improved, movable partition wall element which can be used more flexibly than the partition wall systems known in the prior art.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein verfahrbares Trennwandelement gemäß dem unabhängigen Anspruch. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen und der Beschreibung angegeben.The object is achieved by a movable partition element according to the independent claim. Advantageous developments are given in the dependent claims and the description.

Das verfahrbare Trennwandelement ist für eine verfahrbare Raumtrennwand, die insbesondere eine Mehrzahl von stirnseitig miteinander kraftschlüssig verbindbaren, verfahrbaren Trennwandelementen aufweist, geeignet. Das verfahrbare Trennwandelement weist eine ein- und ausfahrbare Deckendichtleiste und eine ein- und ausfahrbare Bodendichtleiste auf. Das Trennwandelement weist eine Abdrückvorrichtung mit einem ein- und ausfahrbaren Stößelelement zum Abdrücken des Trennwandelements von einem kraftschlüssig verbundenen, anderen Trennwandelement der Raumtrennwand auf. Die Abdrückvorrichtung ist unabhängig von einer Betätigung der Deckendichtleiste und einer Betätigung der Bodendichtleiste betätigbar.The movable partition wall element is suitable for a movable room partition wall, which in particular has a plurality of movable partition wall elements that can be frictionally connected to one another at the end. The movable partition element has a retractable and extendable ceiling sealing strip and a retractable and extendable bottom sealing strip. The partition wall element has a push-off device with a retractable and extendable plunger element for pushing the partition wall element from another partition wall element of the room partition wall which is connected in a non-positive manner. The push-off device can be actuated independently of an actuation of the ceiling sealing strip and an actuation of the bottom sealing strip.

Das hierin vorgeschlagene verfahrbare Trennwandelement ist besonders flexibel einsetzbar, da eine Betätigung der Abdrückvorrichtung unabhängig von einem Ein- und Ausfahren der Deckendichtleiste und der Bodendichtleiste ist. Insbesondere ermöglicht das Trennwandelement eine Betätigung der Abdrückvorrichtung, ohne dass die Deckendichtleiste oder die Bodendichtleiste betätigt wird. Damit kann beispielsweise ein Stößelelement der Abdrückvorrichtung ausgefahren werden, ohne dass die Deckendichtleiste und die Bodendichtleiste eingefahren werden. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass ein anderes, nicht zwischen Decke und Boden verspanntes Trennwandelement von der Abdrückvorrichtung des Trennwandelements verschoben werden kann (vgl. hierzu beispielsweise Figur 7 und deren Beschreibung).The movable partition element proposed here can be used in a particularly flexible manner, since actuation of the push-off device is independent of the retraction and extension of the ceiling sealing strip and the bottom sealing strip. In particular, the partition element enables the push-off device to be actuated without the top sealing strip or the bottom sealing strip being actuated. In this way, for example, a plunger element of the push-off device can be extended without the top sealing strip and the bottom sealing strip being retracted. This has the advantage that another partition element that is not clamped between the ceiling and the floor can be displaced by the push-off device of the partition element (cf. for example in this regard Figure 7 and their description).

Insbesondere kann die Deckendichtleiste und/oder die Bodendichtleiste des Trennwandelements in einer Vertikalrichtung ein- und ausfahrbar sein.In particular, the ceiling sealing strip and / or the bottom sealing strip of the partition element can be retracted and extended in a vertical direction.

Bevorzugt kann die Deckendichtleiste und/oder die Bodendichtleiste zum Verspannen des Trennwandelements zwischen einer Raumdecke und einem Raumboden ausfahrbar sein. Im eingefahrenen Zustand der Deckendichtleiste und/oder der Bodendichtleiste ist das Trennwandelement nicht zwischen der Raumdecke und dem Raumboden verspannt und somit verfahrbar.The ceiling sealing strip and / or the floor sealing strip can preferably be extendable for bracing the partition element between a room ceiling and a room floor. in the In the retracted state of the ceiling sealing strip and / or the floor sealing strip, the partition element is not clamped between the ceiling and the floor and is therefore not movable.

Beispielsweise kann das Trennwandelement über Trag- und Laufrollen an einem Schienensystem, das zum Beispiel an einer Raumdecke befestigt sein kann, hängen und geführt werden.For example, the partition wall element can be suspended from and guided by means of supporting and running rollers on a rail system that can be attached to a room ceiling, for example.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Abdrückvorrichtung elektrisch, insbesondere elektromotorisch oder elektromagnetisch, betätigbar. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Abdrückvorrichtung nicht händisch ein- und ausgefahren werden muss. Die Abdrückvorrichtung kann zusätzlich von einem entfernten Standpunkt aus über eine zentrale Steuerung elektronisch angesteuert werden.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the push-off device can be actuated electrically, in particular by an electric motor or electromagnetically. This has the advantage that the push-off device does not have to be extended and retracted manually. The push-off device can also be controlled electronically from a remote point of view via a central controller.

In einem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Abdrückvorrichtung automatisch betätigbar. Damit kann die Abdrückvorrichtung beispielsweise über eine zentrale Steuerung automatisch zum Ein- und Ausfahren des Stößelelements betätigt werden. Zum Beispiel kann die Steuerung die Abdrückvorrichtung automatisch zum Ausfahren des Stößelelements betätigen, wenn eine Benutzereingabe eines Benutzers in einer Benutzerschnittstelle das Verfahren der Trennwandelemente in einen Parkbereich der verfahrbaren Raumtrennwand vorgibt.In one embodiment, the push-off device can be actuated automatically. In this way, for example, the push-off device can be actuated automatically via a central control to extend and retract the plunger element. For example, the controller can automatically actuate the push-off device to extend the ram element when a user input of a user in a user interface specifies the movement of the partition wall elements into a parking area of the movable room partition wall.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel ist das verfahrbare Trennwandelement elektrisch verfahrbar und/oder automatisch betätigbar. Beispielsweise kann das Trennwandelement einen Antriebsmotor, zum Beispiel einen Elektromotor, aufweisen. Insbesondere kann der Antriebsmotor in einem Schienensystem des Trennwandsystems geführte Rollen des Trennwandelements zum Verfahren des Trennwandelements antreiben. Zum Beispiel kann eine zentrale Steuerung den Antriebsmotor automatisch zum Verfahren des Trennwandelements ansteuern, wenn eine Benutzereingabe eines Benutzers in einer Benutzerschnittstelle das Verfahren der Trennwandelemente in einen Parkbereich der verfahrbaren Raumtrennwand vorgibt.In a further exemplary embodiment, the movable partition element can be moved electrically and / or actuated automatically. For example, the partition element can have a drive motor, for example an electric motor. In particular, the drive motor can drive rollers of the partition element that are guided in a rail system of the partition system in order to move the partition element. For example, a central controller can automatically control the drive motor for moving the partition wall element when a user input from a user in a user interface specifies moving the partition wall elements into a parking area of the movable room partition wall.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Deckendichtleiste und/oder die Bodendichtleiste elektrisch ein- und ausfahrbar und/oder automatisch betätigbar. Beispielsweise können die Deckendichtleiste und/oder die Bodendichtleiste über einen elektrischen Aktor des Trennwandelements betätigt werden. Zum Beispiel kann eine zentrale Steuerung den Aktor oder die Aktoren automatisch zum Einfahren ansteuern, wenn eine Benutzereingabe eines Benutzers in einer Benutzerschnittstelle das Verfahren der Trennwandelemente in einen Parkbereich der verfahrbaren Raumtrennwand vorgibt.In a further exemplary embodiment, the ceiling sealing strip and / or the bottom sealing strip can be moved in and out electrically and / or can be actuated automatically. For example, the ceiling sealing strip and / or the bottom sealing strip can be actuated via an electrical actuator of the partition element. For example, a central controller can automatically trigger the actuator or actuators to retract when a user input is in a user interface specifies the movement of the partition wall elements into a parking area of the movable room partition wall.

Beispielsweise kann über die Benutzerschnittstelle eine gespeicherte Trennwandkonfiguration mit einer gewünschten Anordnung von Trennwandelementen aufgerufen werden. Eine mit der Benutzerschnittstelle verbundene Steuerung steuert dann die Trennwandelemente, die Deckendichtleisten, die Bodendichtleisten und die Abdrückvorrichtungen so an, dass die Trennwandelemente in die gewünschte Anordnung verfahren werden. Damit können beispielsweise vollautomatische Trennwandsysteme (automatisch verfahrbare Trennwandelemente und automatisch ein- und ausfahrbare Deckendichtleisten, Bodendichtleisten und Abdrückvorrichtungen) und halbautomatische Trennwandsysteme (manuell verfahrbare Trennwandelemente und automatisch ein- und ausfahrbare Deckendichtleisten, Bodendichtleisten und Abdrückvorrichtungen) aufgebaut werden.For example, a stored partition configuration with a desired arrangement of partition elements can be called up via the user interface. A control connected to the user interface then controls the partition wall elements, the ceiling sealing strips, the floor sealing strips and the push-off devices in such a way that the partition wall elements are moved into the desired arrangement. For example, fully automatic partition wall systems (automatically movable partition wall elements and automatically retractable and extendable ceiling sealing strips, floor sealing strips and push-off devices) and semi-automatic partition wall systems (manually movable partition wall elements and automatically retractable and extendable ceiling sealing strips, floor sealing strips and push-off devices) can be set up.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist das Trennwandelement einen Magneten, insbesondere ein Magnetband, das an einer Stirnfläche eines Trennwandkörpers des Trennwandelements zum kraftschlüssigen Verbinden des Trennwandelements mit dem anderen Trennwandelement vorgesehen ist, auf. Die kraftschlüssige Verbindung zwischen den Trennwandelementen kann durch die Abdrückvorrichtung gelöst werden.In a further embodiment, the partition element has a magnet, in particular a magnetic tape, which is provided on an end face of a partition body of the partition element for frictional connection of the partition element to the other partition element. The force-fit connection between the partition wall elements can be released by the push-off device.

In einer Ausführungsvariante ist die Abdrückvorrichtung in einer oberen Hälfte, insbesondere einem oberen Drittel, vorzugsweise einem oberen Viertel, eines Trennwandkörpers des Trennwandelements angeordnet.In one embodiment variant, the push-off device is arranged in an upper half, in particular an upper third, preferably an upper quarter, of a partition wall body of the partition wall element.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante ist das Stößelelement in einer Horizontalrichtung aus einer Stirnfläche eines Trennwandkörpers des Trennwandelements ein- und ausfahrbar. Damit können die Trennwandelemente in einer Horizontalrichtung voneinander weggedrückt werden.In a further embodiment variant, the plunger element can be retracted and extended in a horizontal direction from an end face of a partition wall body of the partition wall element. The partition wall elements can thus be pushed away from one another in a horizontal direction.

In einem Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Abdrückvorrichtung über einen Stromabnehmer des Trennwandelements mit elektrischer Energie insbesondere von einer Stromschiene eines Schienensystems der Raumtrennwand versorgt.In one embodiment, the push-off device is supplied with electrical energy via a current collector of the partition element, in particular from a power rail of a rail system of the room partition.

Es ist auch möglich, dass die Antriebseinheit des Trennwandelements, der Aktor der Deckendichtleiste und/oder der Aktor der Bodendichtleiste über den Stromabnehmer des Trennwandelements mit elektrischer Energie versorgt wird. Damit können mehrere elektrische Komponenten des Trennwandelements über den gleichen Stromabnehmer mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden.It is also possible for the drive unit of the partition element, the actuator of the ceiling sealing strip and / or the actuator of the floor sealing strip to be supplied with electrical energy via the current collector of the partition element. This allows several electrical Components of the partition element are supplied with electrical energy via the same current collector.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Abdrückvorrichtung von einer Steuereinheit gesteuert, die mit einem Datenbus eines Schienensystems der Raumtrennwand verbunden oder verbindbar ist, wobei die Steuereinheit vorzugsweise auch die Deckendichtleiste und/oder die Bodendichtleiste steuert.In a further exemplary embodiment, the push-off device is controlled by a control unit which is or can be connected to a data bus of a rail system of the room partition, the control unit preferably also controlling the ceiling sealing strip and / or the floor sealing strip.

Der Begriff "Steuereinheit" bezieht sich auf eine Elektronik, die je nach Ausbildung Steuerungsaufgaben und/oder Regelungsaufgaben übernehmen kann.The term "control unit" refers to electronics that, depending on their design, can take on control tasks and / or regulating tasks.

Insbesondere kann die Steuereinheit in dem Trennwandelement angeordnet sein.In particular, the control unit can be arranged in the partition wall element.

Vorzugsweise kann der Stromabnehmer auch mit dem Datenbus verbunden sein. Insbesondere kann die Steuereinheit der Abdrückvorrichtung über den Stromabnehmer und den Datenbus mit einer Zentralsteuerung der Raumtrennwand kommunizieren.The current collector can preferably also be connected to the data bus. In particular, the control unit of the push-off device can communicate with a central control of the partition wall via the pantograph and the data bus.

In einem Ausführungsbeispiel weist die Abdrückvorrichtung einen eigenen Aktor, insbesondere einen Elektromotor, zum Ein- und Ausfahren des Stößelelements auf. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist eine Betätigung der Abdrückvorrichtung zum Ein- und Ausfahren des Stößelelements mechanisch entkoppelt von einer Betätigung der Deckendichtleiste zum Ein- und Ausfahren der Deckendichtleiste und einer Betätigung der Bodendichtleiste zum Ein- und Ausfahren der Bodendichtleiste.In one embodiment, the push-off device has its own actuator, in particular an electric motor, for extending and retracting the plunger element. Alternatively or additionally, actuation of the push-off device for extending and retracting the plunger element is mechanically decoupled from actuation of the ceiling sealing strip for extending and retracting the ceiling sealing strip and actuation of the floor sealing strip for extending and retracting the floor sealing strip.

In einer Weiterbildung weist der Aktor ein ein- und ausfahrbares Betätigungselement (zum Beispiel eine Gewindewelle) auf, das in Wirkverbindung mit dem Stößelelement zum Ein- und Ausfahren des Stößelelements steht. Zusätzlich kann die Aktorvorrichtung einen Umlenkmechanismus auf, der dazu ausgebildet ist, eine, insbesondere vertikale, Ein- und Ausfahrbewegung des Betätigungselements zu einer, insbesondere horizontalen, Ein- und Ausfahrbewegung des Stößelelements umzulenken. Dies ermöglicht eine platzsparende vertikale Anordnung der Abdrückvorrichtung im Trennwandkörper des Trennwandelements. Zusätzlich kann ein Zugang zu der Abdrückvorrichtung beispielsweise bei einem notwendigen Austausch des Aktors der Abdrückvorrichtung verbessert werden.In a further development, the actuator has an actuating element that can be retracted and extended (for example a threaded shaft) which is in operative connection with the plunger element for extending and retracting the plunger element. In addition, the actuator device can have a deflection mechanism which is designed to deflect an, in particular vertical, retraction and extension movement of the actuating element to an, in particular horizontal, retraction and extension movement of the plunger element. This enables a space-saving vertical arrangement of the push-off device in the partition body of the partition element. In addition, access to the push-off device can be improved, for example if the actuator of the push-off device needs to be replaced.

In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Umlenkmechanismus eine Lagerung des Stößelelements an einer schiefen Ebene, die mit dem Betätigungselement verfahrbar ist, auf. Beispielsweise kann die schiefe Ebene eine Fläche eines Schiebestücks sein. Insbesondere kann das Schiebestück in einem Gehäuse der Abdrückvorrichtung hin- und herbewegbar sein, von einem Aktor der Abdrückvorrichtung angetrieben werden und/oder das Stößelelement ein- und ausfahren.In a preferred embodiment, the deflection mechanism has a mounting of the plunger element on an inclined plane which can be moved with the actuating element. For example, the inclined plane can be a surface of a sliding piece. In particular, the sliding piece can be moved back and forth in a housing of the push-off device, be driven by an actuator of the push-off device and / or extend and retract the plunger element.

In einer Ausführungsvariante ist die Abdrückvorrichtung in einem Trennwandkörper des Trennwandelements angeordnet und eine Längsachse der Abdrückvorrichtung ist in einer Vertikalrichtung ausgerichtet. Alternativ kann eine Längsachse der Abdrückvorrichtung beispielsweise in einer Horizontalrichtung ausgerichtet ist. Damit kann bei der Anordnung der Abdrückvorrichtung auf unterschiedliche Platzverhältnisse und Anforderungen hinsichtlich eines erforderlichen Zugangs zu der Abdrückvorrichtung reagiert werden.In one embodiment variant, the push-off device is arranged in a partition body of the partition element and a longitudinal axis of the push-off device is aligned in a vertical direction. Alternatively, a longitudinal axis of the push-off device can be aligned in a horizontal direction, for example. In this way, when arranging the push-off device, it is possible to react to different spatial conditions and requirements with regard to a required access to the push-off device.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante weist die Abdrückvorrichtung einen ersten Endlagenschalter, insbesondere einen Endlagen-Mikroschalter oder einen Endlagen-Reedschalter, zum Begrenzen des Ausfahrens des Stößelelements auf. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Abdrückvorrichtung einen (zweiten) Endlagenschalter, insbesondere einen Endlagen-Mikroschalter oder einen Endlagen-Reedschalter, zum Begrenzen des Einfahrens des Stößelelements aufweisen.In a further embodiment variant, the push-off device has a first end position switch, in particular an end position microswitch or an end position reed switch, for limiting the extension of the plunger element. As an alternative or in addition, the push-off device can have a (second) limit switch, in particular a limit switch microswitch or a limit switch reed switch, to limit the retraction of the plunger element.

Beispielsweise können die Endlagenschalter mit elektrischer Energie über den Stromabnehmer des Trennwandelements versorgt werden.For example, the limit switches can be supplied with electrical energy via the current collector of the partition element.

Es ist möglich, dass die Endlagenschalter kontaktlos oder kontaktierend betätigbar sind.It is possible that the limit switches can be actuated in a contactless or contacting manner.

In einer Weiterbildung weist die Abdrückvorrichtung mindestens einen mit dem Stößelelement verfahrbaren Magneten, insbesondere Permanentmagneten, zum Betätigen des ersten Endlagenschalters und/oder des zweiten Endlagenschalters auf. Vorzugsweise kann der erste Endlagenschalter und/oder der zweite Endlagenschalter als Reedschalter ausgebildet sein und an einem Gehäuse oder Rahmen der Abdrückvorrichtung befestigt sein. Beispielsweise kann der mindestens eine Magnet an einem Schiebestück, das die schiefe Ebene aufweist, befestigt sein.In a further development, the push-off device has at least one magnet, in particular permanent magnet, which can be moved with the plunger element, for actuating the first limit switch and / or the second limit switch. The first limit switch and / or the second limit switch can preferably be designed as a reed switch and fastened to a housing or frame of the push-off device. For example, the at least one magnet can be attached to a sliding piece that has the inclined plane.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel weist die Abdrückvorrichtung ein mit dem Stößelelement verfahrbares Schalterauslöseelement auf, das in einer Längsnut oder einem Langloch in einem Gehäuse oder Rahmen der Abdrückvorrichtung geführt ist und das den ersten Endlagenschalter in einer ersten Endlage des Stößelelements und/oder den zweiten Endlagenschalter in einer zweiten Endlage des Stößelelements betätigt, insbesondere kontaktiert. Insbesondere können die Endlagenschalter Mikro-Endlagenschalter sein. Beispielsweise kann das Schalterauslöseelement am Stößelelement und/oder an einem ein- und ausfahrbaren Betätigungselement, das das Stößelelement ein- und ausfährt, befestigt sein.In a further exemplary embodiment, the push-off device has a switch trigger element which can be moved with the plunger element and which is in a longitudinal groove or an elongated hole in a Housing or frame of the push-off device is guided and which actuates, in particular contacts, the first limit switch in a first end position of the plunger element and / or the second limit switch in a second end position of the plunger element. In particular, the limit switches can be micro limit switches. For example, the switch trigger element can be attached to the plunger element and / or to an actuating element which can be retracted and extended and which extends and retracts the plunger element.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist die Abdrückvorrichtung eine manuelle Notbetätigungsvorrichtung zum manuellen Ein- und Ausfahren des Stößelelements. Damit kann beispielsweise bei Ausfall eines elektrischen Aktors der Abdrückvorrichtung eine manuelle Betätigung der Abdrückvorrichtung durchgeführt werden.In a further embodiment, the push-off device has a manual emergency actuation device for manually extending and retracting the plunger element. In this way, for example, if an electrical actuator of the push-off device fails, the push-off device can be actuated manually.

In einer Weiterbildung weist die manuelle Notbetätigungsvorrichtung ein Getriebe, insbesondere ein Kegelradgetriebe, mit einer Zugangsöffnung für ein Notbedienungswerkzeug, insbesondere eine Notbedienungskurbel, zum manuellen Ein- und Ausfahren des Stößelelements. Das Getriebe kann beispielsweise trieblich zwischen dem elektrischen Aktor der Abdrückvorrichtung und dem Stößelelement zwischengeschaltet sein.In a further development, the manual emergency actuation device has a gear, in particular a bevel gear, with an access opening for an emergency operating tool, in particular an emergency operating crank, for manually extending and retracting the plunger element. The transmission can, for example, be interposed between the electrical actuator of the push-off device and the plunger element.

Es ist auch möglich, dass das Stößelelement über ein elastisches Element, zum Beispiel eine Rückstellfeder, in dem eingefahrenen Zustand vorgespannt ist.It is also possible for the plunger element to be pretensioned in the retracted state via an elastic element, for example a return spring.

Die Trag- und Laufrollen 16 sind in einem an einer Decke 30 befestigten Schienensystem 32 geführt. Über die Trag- und Laufrollen 16 kann das Trennwandelement 14 geführt im Raum verfahren werden. Beispielsweise kann das Trennwandelement 14 (zusammen mit weiteren Trennwandelementen) ausgehend von einem Parkbereich in eine gewünschte Position zum Trennen von zwei Raumbereichen verfahren werden.The supporting and running rollers 16 are guided in a rail system 32 fastened to a ceiling 30. The partition element 14 can be moved around the room by means of the supporting and running rollers 16. For example, the partition wall element 14 (together with further partition wall elements) can be moved, starting from a parking area, into a desired position for separating two spatial areas.

Über den Antriebsmotor 18 kann ein Teil der Trag- und Laufrollen 16 des Trennwandelements 14 angetrieben werden. Der Antriebsmotor 18 kann beispielsweise ein Elektromotor sein, der mit elektrischer Energie über eine im Schienensystem 32 geführte Stromschiene 38 und einen am Trennwandelement 14 befestigten Stromabnehmer 40 versorgt werden kann. Der Antriebsmotor 18 ermöglicht ein automatisches Verfahren des Trennwandelements 14. Der Antriebsmotor 18 kann direkt am System der Trag- und Laufrollen 16 innerhalb des Schienensystems 32 integriert sein.A part of the supporting and running rollers 16 of the partition element 14 can be driven via the drive motor 18. The drive motor 18 can, for example, be an electric motor which can be supplied with electrical energy via a busbar 38 guided in the rail system 32 and a current collector 40 fastened to the partition element 14. The drive motor 18 enables the partition element 14 to be moved automatically. The drive motor 18 can be integrated directly into the system of supporting and running rollers 16 within the rail system 32.

In der Darstellung von Figur 1 sind die Deckendichtleiste 20 und die Bodendichtleiste 24 des Trennwandelements 14 (und des Trennwandelements 12) ausgefahren. Zum Verfahren des Trennwandelements 14 können die Deckendichtleiste 20 des Trennwandelements 14 und die Bodendichtleiste 24 des Trennwandelements 14 eingefahren werden. Zum Ein- und Ausfahren der Deckendichtleiste 20 und der Bodendichtleiste 24 des Trennwandelements 14 sind die Aktoren 22 und 26 vorgesehen. Es ist beispielsweise auch möglich, dass die Aktoren 22 und 26 miteinander gekoppelt sind oder dass ein gemeinsamer Aktor zum Ein- und Ausfahren der Deckendichtleiste 20 und der Bodendichtleiste 24 des Trennwandelements 14 vorgesehen ist.To clamp the partition element 14 in the desired position, the ceiling sealing strip 20 and the bottom sealing strip 24 can be extended.

To move the partition element 14, the top sealing strip 20 of the partition element 14 and the bottom sealing strip 24 of the partition element 14 can be retracted. The actuators 22 and 26 are provided for moving the ceiling sealing strip 20 and the bottom sealing strip 24 of the partition element 14 in and out. It is also possible, for example, for the actuators 22 and 26 to be coupled to one another or for a common actuator to be provided for extending and retracting the ceiling sealing strip 20 and the bottom sealing strip 24 of the partition element 14.

In der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist das Trennwandelement 14 als ein vollautomatisches Trennwandelement ausgeführt, da es über den Antriebsmotor 18 automatisch verfahren und über die Deckendichtleiste 20 und die Bodendichtleiste 24 des Trennwandelements 14 automatisch im Raum verspannt werden kann. Es ist allerdings beispielsweise auch möglich, dass das Trennwandelement 14 als ein halbautomatisches Trennwandelement ausgeführt ist. Bei einem halbautomatischen Trennwandelement sind Aktoren zum Ausfahren der Deckendichtleiste und der Bodendichtleiste, jedoch kein Antriebsmotor für die Trag- und Laufrollen vorgesehen. Ein halbautomatisches Trennwandelement muss somit manuell entlang des Schienensystems 32 im Raum geführt werden.In the embodiment shown, the partition element 14 is designed as a fully automatic partition element, since it can be moved automatically via the drive motor 18 and automatically braced in the room via the ceiling sealing strip 20 and the floor sealing strip 24 of the partition element 14. However, it is also possible, for example, for the partition element 14 to be designed as a semi-automatic partition element. In the case of a semi-automatic partition element, actuators are provided for extending the ceiling sealing strip and the floor sealing strip, but no drive motor for the supporting and running rollers. A semi-automatic partition wall element must therefore be guided manually along the rail system 32 in the room.

Zusätzlich kann eine nicht dargestellte Bodenführungsschiene zum Führen des Trennwandelements 14 im Boden 34 vorgesehen sein. Das Trennwandelement 14 kann hierfür einen Bodenführungsstift (nicht dargestellt) an einer Unterkante des Trennwandelements 14 aufweisen.In addition, a floor guide rail (not shown) for guiding the partition element 14 in the floor 34 can be provided. For this purpose, the partition element 14 can have a bottom guide pin (not shown) on a lower edge of the partition element 14.

In der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist das Trennwandelement 14 als ein Vollwandelement ausgebildet. Es ist allerdings auch möglich, dass das Trennwandelement als ein Element mit Durchgangstür, ein Element mit Fenster, ein Teleskopelement usw. ausgebildet ist.In the embodiment shown, the partition wall element 14 is designed as a solid wall element. However, it is also possible that the partition wall element is designed as an element with a passage door, an element with a window, a telescopic element, etc.

Die Trennwandelemente 12 und 14 sind kraftschlüssig miteinander verbindbar. Insbesondere weist das Trennwandelement 14 an einer dem Trennwandelement 12 zugewandten Stirnfläche mindestens ein Magnetband 36 auf. Das Magnetband 36 erstreckt sich in einer Vertikalrichtung. Das Trennwandelement 12 kann an einer dem Trennwandelement 14 zugewandten Stirnfläche beispielsweise eine magnetische Leiste oder ebenfalls mindestens ein Magnetband aufweisen. Über das Magnetband 36 können die Trennwandelemente 12 und 14 kraftschlüssig miteinander verbunden werden. In Kombination mit weiteren kraftschlüssig verbundenen Trennwandelementen kann so eine geschlossene Raumtrennwand zum Trennen von zwei Raumbereichen ermöglicht werden.The partition elements 12 and 14 can be positively connected to one another. In particular, the partition element 14 has an end face facing the partition element 12 at least one magnetic tape 36. The magnetic tape 36 extends in a vertical direction. The partition element 12 can have, for example, a magnetic bar or likewise at least one magnetic tape on an end face facing the partition element 14. The partition elements 12 and 14 can be non-positively connected to one another via the magnetic tape 36. In combination with other frictionally connected partition wall elements, a closed room partition wall for separating two room areas can be made possible.

Die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 ist vorgesehen, um die kraftschlüssig miteinander verbundenen Trennwandelemente 12 und 14 voneinander zu trennen, wenn dies gewünscht ist. Dies kann beispielsweise der Fall sein, wenn die Raumtrennwand 10 gerade nicht benötigt wird und in einen Parkbereich verfahren werden soll. Hierbei werden die Trennwandelemente 12 und 14 einzeln und nacheinander in den Parkbereich manuell oder automatisch verfahren. Wie die Benennung bereits andeutet, drückt die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 die Trennwandelemente 12 und 14 voneinander ab.The push-off device 28 is provided in order to separate the partition wall elements 12 and 14, which are connected to one another in a force-locking manner, from one another, if this is desired. This can be the case, for example, when the room partition wall 10 is currently not needed and is to be moved into a parking area. Here, the partition elements 12 and 14 are moved manually or automatically into the parking area individually and one after the other. As the name already indicates, the push-off device 28 pushes the partition elements 12 and 14 from one another.

Die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 ist in einem Trennwandkörper 42 des Trennwandelements 14 aufgenommen und weist ein horizontal ausfahrbares Stößelelement, mit dem die Trennwandelemente 12 und 14 voneinander abgestoßen werden können, auf. Bevorzugt kann die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 in einem oberen Bereich des Trennwandkörpers 42 des Trennwandelements 14 angeordnet sein.The push-off device 28 is received in a partition body 42 of the partition element 14 and has a horizontally extendable ram element with which the partition elements 12 and 14 can be pushed away from one another. The push-off device 28 can preferably be arranged in an upper region of the partition wall body 42 of the partition wall element 14.

Die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 ist unabhängig und mechanisch entkoppelt von der Deckendichtleiste 20 und der Bodendichtleiste 24 betätigbar. Damit kann die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 beispielsweise auch verwendet werden, wenn die Deckendichtleiste 20 und die Bodendichtleiste 24 des Trennwandelements 14 noch ausgefahren sind.The push-off device 28 can be actuated independently and mechanically decoupled from the ceiling sealing strip 20 and the bottom sealing strip 24. The push-off device 28 can thus also be used, for example, when the ceiling sealing strip 20 and the bottom sealing strip 24 of the partition element 14 are still extended.

Die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 ist elektrisch, insbesondere elektromotorisch über einen Elektromotor oder elektromagnetisch über einen Elektromagneten, betätigt. Dies ermöglicht, dass die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 automatisch ein- und ausgefahren werden kann. Die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 kann über den Stromabnehmer 40 und die Stromschiene 38 mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden.The push-off device 28 is actuated electrically, in particular by an electric motor via an electric motor or electromagnetically via an electromagnet. This enables the forcing device 28 to be extended and retracted automatically. The push-off device 28 can be supplied with electrical energy via the current collector 40 and the busbar 38.

Die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 wird über eine schematisch dargestellte Steuereinheit 41 innerhalb des Trennwandelements 14 gesteuert. Die Steuereinheit 41 kann insbesondere mit Aktoren (z. B. Aktoren 44, 144 hierin) und Endlagenschaltern (z. B. Endlagenschalter 60, 62, 160, 162 hierin) der Abdrückvorrichtung 28 verbunden sein. Die Steuereinheit 41 kommuniziert mit einer Zentralsteuerung (nicht gezeigt) der Raumtrennwand über einen in dem Schienensystem 32 geführten Datenbus 43. In einigen Ausführungsformen kann die Steuereinheit 41 auch die Aktoren 22, 26 der Deckendichtleiste 20 und der Bodendichtleiste 24 steuern. Die Steuereinheit 41 kann ferner mit einer Steuereinheit (nicht gezeigt) des Antriebsmotors 18 verbunden sein und über die Stromschiene 38 mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden. Auch die Steuereinheit des Antriebsmotors 18 kann über die Stromschiene 38 mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden und über den Datenbus 43 mit der Zentralsteuerung kommunizieren.The push-off device 28 is controlled via a schematically illustrated control unit 41 within the partition element 14. The control unit 41 can in particular with actuators (e.g. Actuators 44, 144 herein) and limit switches (e.g. limit switches 60, 62, 160, 162 herein) of the forcing device 28 may be connected. The control unit 41 communicates with a central control (not shown) of the room partition wall via a data bus 43 routed in the rail system 32. In some embodiments, the control unit 41 can also control the actuators 22, 26 of the ceiling sealing strip 20 and the floor sealing strip 24. The control unit 41 can also be connected to a control unit (not shown) of the drive motor 18 and can be supplied with electrical energy via the busbar 38. The control unit of the drive motor 18 can also be supplied with electrical energy via the busbar 38 and communicate with the central controller via the data bus 43.

Nachfolgend sind unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren 2 bis 5 zwei Ausführungsbeispiele für die Abdrückvorrichtung beschrieben.The following are with reference to the Figures 2 to 5 two embodiments for the push-off device described.

Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 in zwei unterschiedlichen perspektivischen Darstellungen. Die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 ist so in dem Trennwandkörper 42 (siehe Figur 1) aufgenommen, dass sich eine Längsachse der Abdrückvorrichtung 28 in einer Horizontalrichtung erstreckt.the Figures 2 and 3 show the push-off device 28 in two different perspective representations. The push-off device 28 is thus in the partition wall body 42 (see FIG Figure 1 ) added that a longitudinal axis of the push-off device 28 extends in a horizontal direction.

Die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 weist einen Aktor 44, ein erstes Getriebe 46, ein zweites Getriebe 48, eine Gewindewelle 50 und ein Stößelelement 52 auf.The forcing device 28 has an actuator 44, a first gear 46, a second gear 48, a threaded shaft 50 and a ram element 52.

Der Aktor 44 ist als ein Elektromotor zum Antreiben des Stößelelements 52 ausgebildet. Der Aktor 44 kann beispielsweise über den Stromabnehmer 40 und die Stromschiene 38 (siehe Figur 1) mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden. Über das erste und zweite Getriebe 46, 48 kann der Aktor 44 die Gewindewelle 50 und damit das Stößelelement 52 ein- und ausfahren. Die Getriebe 46 und 48 verbinden den Aktor 44 antreibend mit der Gewindewelle 50 und dem Stößelelement 52. Der Aktor 44 ist zusammen mit dem Getriebe 46 an einen Rahmen oder Gehäuse 58 der Abdrückvorrichtung 28 befestigt.The actuator 44 is designed as an electric motor for driving the plunger element 52. The actuator 44 can, for example, via the current collector 40 and the busbar 38 (see Figure 1 ) are supplied with electrical energy. The actuator 44 can extend and retract the threaded shaft 50 and thus the tappet element 52 via the first and second gears 46, 48. The gears 46 and 48 drivingly connect the actuator 44 to the threaded shaft 50 and the plunger element 52. The actuator 44 is fastened together with the gearing 46 to a frame or housing 58 of the forcing device 28.

Das zweite Getriebe 48 dient in Kombination mit einer Notbedienungskurbel 54 als eine Notbetätigungsvorrichtung. Über die Notbedienungskurbel 54 kann das Stößelelement 52 manuell ein- und ausgefahren werden, wenn beispielsweise der Aktor 44 nicht funktioniert. Beispielsweise ist das zweite Getriebe 48 als ein Kegelradgetriebe ausgebildet. Über eine Zugangsöffnung 56 kann ein Kegelrad des zweiten Getriebes 48 mit der Notbedienungskurbel 54 manuell angetrieben werden, um das Stößelelement 52 ein- und auszufahren.The second gear 48 serves in combination with an emergency operating crank 54 as an emergency operating device. The plunger element 52 can be extended and retracted manually via the emergency operating crank 54 if, for example, the actuator 44 is not working. For example, the second gear 48 is designed as a bevel gear. Via an access opening 56, a bevel gear of the second gear 48 can be driven manually with the emergency operating crank 54 in order to retract and extend the plunger element 52.

Das Stößelelement 52 ist auf die Gewindewelle 50 aufgeschraubt, um sich gemeinsam mit der Gewindewelle 50 zu bewegen. Es ist allerdings auch möglich, dass das Stößelelement 52 auf andere Art und Weise mit dem Aktor 44 trieblich verbunden ist.The plunger element 52 is screwed onto the threaded shaft 50 in order to move together with the threaded shaft 50. However, it is also possible that the plunger element 52 is drivingly connected to the actuator 44 in a different manner.

Im ausgefahrenen Zustand (vgl. Figur 2) steht das Stößelelement 52 über eine Stirnfläche des Trennwandkörpers 42 über, um die kraftschlüssig verbundenen Trennwandelemente 12, 14 voneinander zu trennen. In Figur 3 ist beispielhaft der eingefahrene Zustand des Stößelelements 52 dargestellt.In the extended state (cf. Figure 2 ) the plunger element 52 projects beyond an end face of the partition body 42 in order to separate the partition elements 12, 14, which are connected in a force-locking manner, from one another. In Figure 3 the retracted state of the plunger element 52 is shown as an example.

Zum Begrenzen der Ein- und Ausfahrbewegung des Stößelelements 52 können Endlagenschalter 60, 62 vorgesehen sein. In der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Endlagenschalter 60, 62 als Mikroschalter ausgebildet. Die Endlagenschalter 60, 62 sind am Rahmen oder Gehäuse 58 befestigt. Die Endlagenschalter 60, 62 sind so angeordnet, dass ein Schalterauslöseelement 64 diese betätigen kann. Das Schalterauslöseelement 64 ist gemeinsam mit dem Stößelelement 52 verfahrbar und beispielsweise am Stößelelement 52 befestigt. Das Schalterauslöseelement 64 ist stiftförmig. Das Schalterauslöseelement 64 ist in einer Längsnut oder einem Langloch 65 im Rahmen oder Gehäuse 58 geführt. Die Endlagenschalter 60, 62 sind so angeordnet, dass sie in den gewünschten Endlagen von dem Schalterauslöseelement 64 betätigt werden. Im Einzelnen wird der erste Endlagenschalter 60 von dem Schalterauslöseelement 64 im ausgefahrenen Zustand des Stößelelements 52 betätigt. Der zweite Endlagenschalter 62 wird von dem Schalterauslöseelement 64 im eingefahrenen Zustand des Stößelelements 52 betätigt. Die Betätigung eines der Endlagenschalter 60, 62 führt zu einem Stopp des Antriebs durch den Aktor 44. Die Endlagenschalter 60, 62 können beispielsweise mit elektrischer Energie über den Stromabnehmer 40 und die Stromschiene 38 (siehe Figur 1) versorgt werden.Limit switches 60, 62 can be provided to limit the retraction and extension movement of the plunger element 52. In the embodiment shown, the limit switches 60, 62 are designed as microswitches. The limit switches 60, 62 are attached to the frame or housing 58. The limit switches 60, 62 are arranged in such a way that a switch trigger element 64 can actuate them. The switch trigger element 64 can be moved together with the plunger element 52 and is fastened to the plunger element 52, for example. The switch trigger element 64 is pin-shaped. The switch trigger element 64 is guided in a longitudinal groove or an elongated hole 65 in the frame or housing 58. The limit switches 60, 62 are arranged in such a way that they are actuated by the switch trigger element 64 in the desired limit positions. In detail, the first limit switch 60 is actuated by the switch trigger element 64 in the extended state of the plunger element 52. The second limit switch 62 is actuated by the switch trigger element 64 in the retracted state of the plunger element 52. The actuation of one of the limit switches 60, 62 leads to a stop of the drive by the actuator 44. The limit switches 60, 62 can, for example, be supplied with electrical energy via the current collector 40 and the busbar 38 (see FIG Figure 1 ) are supplied.

Die Figuren 4 und 5 zeigen eine Abdrückvorrichtung 128 in perspektivischer Darstellung. In Figur 5 ist ein Gehäuse 158 der Abdrückvorrichtung 128 zum Darstellen der in dem Gehäuse 158 vorhandenen Elemente weggelassen. Die Abdrückvorrichtung 128 ist so in dem Trennwandkörper 42 (siehe Figur 1) aufgenommen, dass sich eine Längsachse der Abdrückvorrichtung 28 in einer Vertikalrichtung erstreckt.the Figures 4 and 5 show a push-off device 128 in a perspective illustration. In Figure 5 A housing 158 of the push-off device 128 is omitted to illustrate the elements present in the housing 158. The push-off device 128 is thus in the partition body 42 (see FIG Figure 1 ) added that a longitudinal axis of the push-off device 28 extends in a vertical direction.

Die Abdrückvorrichtung 128 weist einen Aktor 144, ein Getriebe 146, eine Kupplung 167, eine Gewindewelle 150, ein Schiebestück 166 und ein Stößelelement 152 auf.The forcing device 128 has an actuator 144, a gear 146, a coupling 167, a threaded shaft 150, a sliding piece 166 and a ram element 152.

Der Aktor 144 ist ähnlich wie der Aktor 44 zum Antreiben des Stößelelements 152 aufgebaut. Der Aktor 144 kann beispielsweise als ein Elektromotor ausgebildet sein, der über den Stromabnehmer 40 und die Stromschiene 38 (siehe Figur 1) mit elektrischer Energie versorgt wird. Über das Getriebe 146 und die Kupplung 167 kann der Aktor 144 die Gewindewelle 150 ein- und ausfahren.The actuator 144 is constructed similarly to the actuator 44 for driving the plunger element 152. The actuator 144 can be designed as an electric motor, for example, which is driven via the current collector 40 and the busbar 38 (see FIG Figure 1 ) is supplied with electrical energy. The actuator 144 can extend and retract the threaded shaft 150 via the transmission 146 and the clutch 167.

Das Schiebestück 166 ist an der Gewindewelle 150 befestigt, zum Beispiel aufgeschraubt. Das Schiebestück 166 ist verschiebbar in dem Gehäuse 158 aufgenommen und kann somit gemeinsam mit der Gewindewelle 150 mittels des Aktors 144 verfahren werden.The sliding piece 166 is fastened to the threaded shaft 150, for example screwed on. The sliding piece 166 is slidably received in the housing 158 and can thus be moved together with the threaded shaft 150 by means of the actuator 144.

Das Schiebestück 166 weist eine schiefe Ebene 168 auf. Das Stößelelement 152 ist an der schiefen Ebene 168 gelagert. Beim Ausfahren der Gewindewelle 150 schiebt sich das Schiebestück 166 immer weiter unter das Stößelelement 152 und drückt dieses dabei unter der Wirkung der schiefen Ebene 168 in einer Horizontalrichtung (nach oben in den Figuren 4 und 5) zum Abdrücken von dem anderen Trennwandelement 12 (siehe Figur 1). Beim Einfahren der Gewindewelle 150 zieht sich das Schiebestück 166 bezüglich des Stößelelements 152 zurück, sodass das Stößelelement 152 unter der Wirkung der schiefen Ebene 168 und einer Rückstellfeder 170 wieder eingezogen wird. Die Rückstellfeder 170 spannt das Stößelelement 152 in der eingefahrenen Position vor. Das Schiebestück 166 mit der schiefen Ebene 168 dient somit als eine Umlenkvorrichtung zum Umlenken der Vertikalbewegung der Gewindewelle 150 und des Schiebestücks 151 in eine Horizontalbewegung des Stößelelements 152.The sliding piece 166 has an inclined plane 168. The plunger element 152 is mounted on the inclined plane 168. When the threaded shaft 150 extends, the sliding piece 166 pushes itself further and further under the plunger element 152 and presses it in a horizontal direction (upwards into the Figures 4 and 5 ) for pushing off the other partition wall element 12 (see Figure 1 ). When the threaded shaft 150 is retracted, the sliding piece 166 retracts with respect to the tappet element 152, so that the tappet element 152 is retracted again under the action of the inclined plane 168 and a return spring 170. The return spring 170 biases the plunger element 152 in the retracted position. The sliding piece 166 with the inclined plane 168 thus serves as a deflection device for deflecting the vertical movement of the threaded shaft 150 and the sliding piece 151 into a horizontal movement of the plunger element 152.

Zum Begrenzen der Ein- und Ausfahrbewegung des Stößelelements 152 können Endlagenschalter 160, 162 vorgesehen sein. In der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Endlagenschalter 160, 162 als Reedschalter ausgebildet. Die Endlagenschalter 160, 162 sind am Rahmen oder Gehäuse 158 befestigt. Die Endlagenschalter 160, 162 werden von als Permanentmagneten ausgebildeten Schalterauslöseelementen 164 betätigt. Die Schalterauslöseelemente 164 sind an dem Schiebestück 151 befestigt und werden somit gemeinsam mit dem Schiebestück 151 und der Gewindewelle 150 verfahren. Die Betätigung der Endlagenschalter 160, 162 erfolgt kontaktlos über die Schalterauslöseelemente 164 sobald ein Magnetfeld der Schalterauslöseelemente 164 einen elektrischen Kontakt (Reedkontakt) in den Endlagenschaltern 160, 162 schließt. Die Endlagenschalter 160, 162 können beispielsweise mit elektrischer Energie über den Stromabnehmer 40 und die Stromschiene 38 (siehe Figur 1) versorgt werden.Limit switches 160, 162 can be provided to limit the retraction and extension movement of the plunger element 152. In the embodiment shown, the limit switches 160, 162 are designed as reed switches. The limit switches 160, 162 are attached to the frame or housing 158. The limit switches 160, 162 are actuated by switch trigger elements 164 designed as permanent magnets. The switch trigger elements 164 are attached to the sliding piece 151 and are thus moved together with the sliding piece 151 and the threaded shaft 150. The actuation of the limit switches 160, 162 takes place without contact via the switch release elements 164 as soon as a magnetic field of the switch release elements 164 closes an electrical contact (reed contact) in the limit switches 160, 162. The limit switches 160, 162 can, for example, be supplied with electrical energy via the current collector 40 and the busbar 38 (see FIG Figure 1 ) are supplied.

Die Figuren 6 bis 8 zeigen unterschiedliche Verwendungsbeispiele für die Abdrückvorrichtung 28. Alternativ könnte beispielsweise auch die unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren 4 und 5 beschriebene Abdrückvorrichtung 128 verwendet werden.the Figures 6 to 8 show different examples of use for the push-off device 28. Alternatively, for example, the one with reference to FIG Figures 4 and 5 The push-off device 128 described can be used.

Gemäß der Figur 6 kann die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 zum Abdrücken des Trennwandelements 14 von dem Trennwandelement 12 verwendet werden, wenn die Deckendichtleiste und die Bodendichtleiste des Trennwandelements 14 eingefahren ist. Beim Ausfahren des Stößelelements der Abdrückvorrichtung 28 wird die kraftschlüssige Verbindung zwischen den Trennwandelementen 12 und 14 aufgrund des Magnetbands 36 gelöst. Das Trennwandelement 14 wird weg von dem Trennwandelement 12 bewegt (nach rechts in Figur 6). Das Trennwandelement 12 bewegt sich aufgrund der Verspannung durch die Deckendichtleiste 20 und Bodendichtleiste 24 des Trennwandelements 12 nicht.According to the Figure 6 For example, the push-off device 28 can be used to push the dividing wall element 14 off the dividing wall element 12 when the top sealing strip and the bottom sealing strip of the dividing wall element 14 are retracted. When the ram element of the push-off device 28 is extended, the force-fit connection between the partition elements 12 and 14 is released due to the magnetic tape 36. The partition wall element 14 is moved away from the partition wall element 12 (to the right in FIG Figure 6 ). The partition wall element 12 does not move due to the tension caused by the ceiling sealing strip 20 and bottom sealing strip 24 of the partition wall element 12.

Gemäß der Figur 7 kann die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 zum Abdrücken des Trennwandelements 12 von dem Trennwandelement 14 verwendet werden, wenn die Deckendichtleiste 20 und die Bodendichtleiste 24 des Trennwandelements 14 ausgefahren sind. Eine derartige Verwendung wird insbesondere dadurch ermöglicht, dass die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 unabhängig von der Deckendichtleiste 20 und der Bodendichtleiste 24 betätigt ist. Das Trennwandelement 12 wird von dem Stößelelement der Abdrückvorrichtung 28 weg von dem Trennwandelement 14 bewegt (nach links in Figur 7), da die Decken- und Bodendichtleiste des Trennwandelements 12 eingefahren sind und das Trennwandelement 12 somit nicht zwischen dem Boden 34 und der Decke 30 verspannt ist. Das Trennwandelement 14 bewegt sich aufgrund der Verspannung durch die Deckendichtleiste 20 und die Bodendichtleiste 24 des Trennwandelements 14 nicht.According to the Figure 7 For example, the push-off device 28 can be used to push the dividing wall element 12 off the dividing wall element 14 when the ceiling sealing strip 20 and the bottom sealing strip 24 of the dividing wall element 14 are extended. Such a use is made possible in particular by the fact that the push-off device 28 is actuated independently of the ceiling sealing strip 20 and the bottom sealing strip 24. The partition wall element 12 is moved away from the partition wall element 14 by the plunger element of the push-off device 28 (to the left in FIG Figure 7 ), since the top and bottom sealing strips of the partition element 12 are retracted and the partition element 12 is therefore not clamped between the floor 34 and the ceiling 30. The partition wall element 14 does not move due to the tension caused by the ceiling sealing strip 20 and the bottom sealing strip 24 of the partition wall element 14.

Gemäß der Figur 8 kann die Abdrückvorrichtung 28 zum Gegeneinander-Abdrücken der Trennwandelemente 12 und 14 verwendet werden, wenn bei beiden Trennwandelementen 12, 14 die Deckendichtleiste und die Bodendichtleiste eingefahren sind. Das Trennwandelement 12 wird von dem Stößelelement der Abdrückvorrichtung 28 weg von dem Trennwandelement 14 bewegt (nach links in Figur 8). Hierbei kann sich auch das Trennwandelement 14 aufgrund der fehlenden Verspannung weg von dem Trennwandelement 12 bewegen (nach rechts in Figur 8).According to the Figure 8 For example, the push-off device 28 can be used to push the partition elements 12 and 14 against one another if the ceiling sealing strip and the bottom sealing strip are retracted in both partition elements 12, 14. The partition wall element 12 is moved away from the partition wall element 14 by the plunger element of the push-off device 28 (to the left in FIG Figure 8 ). In this case, the partition wall element 14 can also move away from the partition wall element 12 due to the lack of tension (to the right in FIG Figure 8 ).

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die vorstehend beschriebenen bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Vielmehr ist eine Vielzahl von Varianten und Abwandlungen möglich, die ebenfalls von dem Erfindungsgedanken Gebrauch machen solange sie in den Schutzbereich fallen, welcher durch die nachfolgenden Patentansprüche definiert ist.The invention is not restricted to the preferred exemplary embodiments described above. Rather, a large number of variants and modifications are possible which also make use of the inventive concept as long as they fall within the scope of protection which is defined by the following patent claims.
