Description
- The invention refers to a platform lift. The platform may comprise a seat. In particular the platform lift is a stairlift having a seat.
- In conventional rails for platform lifts a tubular section and a rack section are bended in separate processes. Afterwards the tubular section and the rack section are joint by welding, which means to double the required works and causes often a lack of accuracy at the end of the joining process.
- The position of the external rack section in the lower part of the tube has a huge impact in the visual appearance of the rail, once this is installed on the staircase. As the engagement between pinion and rack section is not smooth enough, an important quantity of grease is applied during maintenance. This usually generates claims from the customers, since the greased rack section is visible and easy accessible. If the engagement between pinion and rack section is not accurate, a significant wear is produced in the rack section during the life span of the stairlift.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide improvements to the generic platform lifts. The object of the invention is solved by the subject of the main claims; embodiments are subject of the subclaims and the description.
- The position of the rack section in the inner area of the tubular section provides the following advantageous aspects:
The new solution allows to simplify the manufacturing process by 3D bending the tubular section and the rack section simultaneously, which means that production time is drastically reduced. Alternatively the rack section can be attached to the tubular section without being bended before. In both cases the separate bending step of the rack is obsolete; also obsolete is the risk of any mismatches between the separately bended rack section and the tubular section. - In the proposed design, the rack section is hidden in the inner area and therefore a visual impact of the rack for the user is reduced.
- The mechanical performance is improved. Different configurations for the rack are proposed, from rack holes directly trimmed on the tube, to a wear-resistant plastic rack bolted to the tube. Main characteristic is that bending process can be carried out in a single stage.
- In addition the rack section is much closer to the center of the tubular section, what means that the pitch distortion when bending is minimal. In an embodiment the pitch distortion can be zero.
- Depending on the selected rack type, different pinions can be used. In a more conservative approach, same pinion than the one used nowadays could be utilized. On the other hand, a more ambitious idea is to use a rolling pinion system, which means that no lubrication at all is required. This is a major step towards client satisfaction as maintenance tasks can be drastically reduced and the rail presents much cleaner aspect.
- The invention is explained in more detail by means of the figures, the figures show:
- figure 1
- a conventional platform lift in two embodiments, to which the invention can be applied;
- figure 2
- a rack section of the conventional platform lifts according to
figure 1 in cross section and side view; - figures 3-6
- an inventive rail in different embodiments;
- figure 7
- an inventive stairlift comprising an inventive rail.

The direction of travel D is defined by arail 2, and is defined in main by the course of an existing stairway 9 in a house or outside of a house. An alternative embodiment is shown infigure 1b wherein theplatform 63 comprises a seat. Here the platform lift is a stairlift with chair. - The rail of the platform has a curved shape, which at last partially deviates from a straight line; thus a direction of travel D will change at least once during the course of the
rail 2. There may be changes in the direction D in top view and in side view. - The
rail 2 may comprise a plurality ofseparate rail segments 2S, which are joined together atrail connections 2C. - The
platform 63 is part of adriving unit 6, which further comprises acarrier 61. The carrier has non shown rollers, which roll along therail 2. For driving the carrier first positive engagements means 23 (only shown in detail infigure 1b ) are provided on therail 2, which cooperates with driving means, in particular a driven pinion (not shown), of thecarrier 61. Abalancing system 62 is provided on thedrive unit 6, to keep theplatform 63 always in a horizontal orientation, even if the inclination of therail 2 varies during its course. -
Figure 2 shows a conventional rail (cross section and side view). Therail 2 comprise atubular section 21 and arack section 22. The tubular section and the rack section are bended accordingly before joining. The bended rack section 12 is joined to an outer surface of the bended tubular section by welding (see weld seam 28). Therack section 22 comprises said engagement means 23. Here the engagement means have the shape of holes in the rack section, into which the driven pinion can engage. Alternative the rack section can have the shape of a gear rack. -
Figures 3 to 6 show aninventive rail 2 of an inventive stairlift. The rail can be used in a stairlift as described infigure 1 , where the inventive rail replaces the rail shown infigure 2 .Figure 7 shows such a stairlift having a an inventive rail as shown infigure 3 Alternatively the rail can be designed in a manner as shown infigures 4-6 . In main the description of a generic platform lift offigure 1 is fully applicable to the stairlift offigure 7 . - The
rail 2 has atubular section 21. Thetubular section 21 provides a support forrollers 65 of thestairlift carrier 61. Thetubular section 21 defines aninner area 21i; in other words, the tubular 21 section is hollow. Arack section 22 is located within theinner area 21i of thetubular section 21. Therack section 22 has first positive engagement means 23. - Attached to a
carrier 61 of the platform lift adrive 3 is provided. Thedrive 3 has adrive gear 32 with second positive engagement means 33. Thedrive gear 32 is connected via adrive shaft 31 to a drive motor (non-shown). - The second engagement means 33 are in rolling engagement with the first positive engagement means 23 so as to transfer a drive force between the drive and the
rail 2. Several types of drive gears 32 can be used in thedrive 3. Thedrive gear 32, in particular the second positive engagement means 33 of thedrive gear 32, are adapted to match with the first positive engagement means 23. - A
rack carrier 24 is provided within theinner area 21i. Therack carrier 24 provides mechanical support for therack section 22 within theinner area 21i. Therack section 22 is attached to therack carrier 24. Therack carrier 24 is fixed to thetubular section 21 by means of aconnector 25. Theconnector 25 extends radially between theinner area 21 and thetubular section 21. - The
connector 25 in combination with thedrive gear 32 serves also for providing support surfaces 251 for supporting a tilting momentum M issued by the carrier. Herby it is ensured that the carrier dos not tilt around thetubular section 21. -
Figures 3 to 6 show different embodiments of therail 2, which individual distinguishing features are described below. -
Figure 3 shows arack section 22 which is in particular made from metal, plastic and/or an elastomer compound. In particular therack section 22 can comprise a rubber block chain. - The
rack section 22 may comprise a bending stiffness which is lower than the bending stiffness of the rack carrier. -
Figure 4 shows aracks section 22 which is made from a metal strip. The metal strip provides easy bendability. Along the direction of travel D the sheet metal has a high tensile strength. -
Figure 5 shows arack section 22 which is made of an chain, having a plurality of separate chain elements. The chain elements are held flexible to each other so that the chain has nearly no bending stiffness at all. The chain easily follows the bended shape of therack carrier 24. The chain may be a commercially available chain. -
Figure 6 shows arack section 22 which is made in one piece with therack carrier 24. Thereby therack carrier 24 is provided with holes which constitute the first positive engagement means 23. Consequently, by bending therack carrier 24 therack section 22 is bended at the same time. - The following description refers to the embodiments of
figures 3 to 5 . The cross section of therack carrier 24 is complementary to the cross section of therack section 22. - In principle the complementary relationship allows, that the
rack section 22 is movable along the direction of travel D within therack carrier 24. This is important during the bending process in case therack section 22 is bended together with the rack carrier. The general movability of therack section 22 within the rack carrier may be restrained by separate fixing means 22f. A suitable fixing mean 22f can be a screw, a weld connection or an adhesive joint set at discrete points along the direction of travel D (shown infigure 3 , also exemplary for the embodiments offigures 4 and5 ). In particular an adhesive joint can be placed at an end of a rail segment. - The complementary relationship between the cross sections of the
rack carrier 24 and the rack section allows in an embodiment, that the rack section is fixedly held within the rack carrier in any directions perpendicular to the direction of travel D, so therack section 22 cannot escape sidewards out of therack carrier 24. - The rack section is in particular attached to the
tubular section 21 before bending. By bending thetubular section 21 also therack section 22 gets bended. Alternatively, thetubular section 21 and therack carrier 24 are bended before attaching therack section 22 to thetubular section 21 and therack carrier 24. In the latter case the rack section is in particular flexible in shape as e.g. in the embodiment offigure 5 . - For attaching the
rack section 22 to therack carrier 24, therack section 22 is introduced at an end of therack carrier 24. Afterwards therack section 22 is slided within therack carrier 24 along the direction of travel D, until therack section 22 is full introduced within therack carrier 24. - For better illustration the
figures 3 to 6 show merely straight lined part of rail. The illustration is also applicable for a curved and/or twisted part of the rail. -
