Description

Element of a separation wall.

The invention relates to an actuated element. by motor of a separation wall, in particular a wall horizontal sliding, with at least one terminal profile driven by motor according to the preamble of claim 1.

Mobile partition walls with profile terminal are well known and are described, for example, in documents DE 199 07 232 A1 and DE 199 07 242 A1. Here in the wall elements suspended in a raceway of a separation wall are provided terminal elements that can brace between the floor and the ceiling. A tightening of the profiles terminals against the floor and the roof is done here so mechanical when locking the mobile separation wall. Thanks to a horizontal displacement of the wall elements are turned about lifting bodies arranged in these, so the profiles terminals provided with sealing strips are snapped into your position

In addition, elements 1 of a separation wall described in DE 24 04 875 B2 or shown in figure 5, which in addition to a drive motor does not shown for the displacement of the elements present a second M2 motor, which by means of a spindle 2 can open and close scissors 3, so that the upper end profiles e Bottom 5 can be pressed against the floor and ceiling and back to be released, that is, they can be passed to a final position folded and unfolded. The forecast of the second M2 engine means here an elevation of the power supply bars and / or of the control channels through which element 1 is sent of the separation wall and is powered by energy, in addition to double the costs related to command electronics, put The double number of engines must now be controlled.

Therefore, the present invention has the objective of creating a motor-driven element of a separation wall with at least one motor-driven terminal profile, with as little as possible control costs being reversed for the motor-driven terminal profile. additional costs, in particular with regard to power supply bars and control lines, as well as a control unit for the separation wall
mobile.

For a motor driven element of a separation wall with at least one terminal profile driven by engine, this goal is achieved through the features indicated in claim 1. The subordinate claims indicate advantageous variants of the object of claim 1.

With the switching device indicated in the claim 1 and arranged in an element it is achieved that it should not rebuild or modify the control performed to control the engine provided for the displacement of the element and that the second motor for driving at least one terminal profile not require self-control, but also be commanded automatically by the control planned for the movement of the element.

The switching device has a first sensor to determine the final position (closed wall) of the element. This sensor can be done mechanically or electronics and ensures that the switching device can correctly switch on the power supplied after reaching the final position

In addition, the switching device features a second sensor to determine a final position of the at least a retracted terminal profile. This sensor can also be performed mechanically or electronically.

The element also presents a first engine for the drive of the element and a second motor for the activation of the at least one terminal profile, switching the switching device the voltage applied to the element for the displacement of the element in the final position of the element of such way between the first engine and the second engine that the second engine causes the at least one terminal profile to be deployed after reaching the element the final position and fold it before leaving the element of the final position.

The switching device is connected preferably between a first power connection of element tension and a connection respectively first of the first motor and second motor, a connection being connected respectively second of the first engine and the second engine with a Second element voltage supply connection.

The first sensor features a switch, whose switchable connection is connected to the first connection of voltage supply, whose first fixed connection is connected with the first connection of the first motor and whose second connection fixed is connected by a first diode with the first connection of the second motor, connecting the switch in the final position the switchable connection with the second fixed connection and in a position parking with the first fixed connection.

According to a preferable configuration, the tension applied to the element through the first power connection voltage and the second voltage supply connection presents a first polarity direction for the displacement of the element to the final position and presents a second address of polarity, opposite the first polarity direction, for the element displacement leaving the final position.

Thanks to this type and preferable configuration of the element according to the invention, on the one hand, the intended control for the displacement of the element, including the bars of power supply, can be used without changes also for the (additional) automatic control of the second motor provided for the activation of the at least one terminal profile can be achieved, on the other hand, a switching device formed by few components, since a defined switching can be performed, always the same, after reaching the final position and before leaving the final position

The second sensor preferably has a double switch, whose first break section is connected in parallel to the first diode and bypass the first diode when the profile terminal is in a stowed end position and whose second break section is connected in series with a second diode in parallel to the switch and bypass the switch when the profile terminal is not in a stowed end position.

In this way a device of switching that must not be controlled by a microprocessor or a complicated logic, but it works perfectly with two preferably mechanical switches and two diodes. This switching device according to the invention is suitable for all the usual control devices for the first planned engine for actuating the element, in particular also for those, in which the element's power supply is Disconnects depending on the current consumption of the element. Also included is the case in which the item is not directly connected to the power bars of current / voltage, otherwise connected by a control device, which may also be arranged in the separating wall element. The feeding of the element with  energy or voltage applied to the item mentioned above and will also be mentioned below refers to the voltage applied to the first motor provided for the drive of the element, that is, for the displacement of the element.

Figure 5: Elements of a wall of separation according to the state of the art.

The sequence is represented in figure 1 of the closing procedure of an element of a wall of separation according to an embodiment according to the invention. After element 1 has been started in a first step S1, powering a drive motor of element 1, that moves element 1 eg from its parking position to its final position is checked in a second stage S2 if the Item 1 is already in the final position. If this is not the In this case, the second step S2 continues in a "loop of control ". When item 1 is in the final position, in a third stage S3 a switching of the voltage of supply of the drive motor of element 1 to a motor pressure, which deploys the at least one terminal profile 5 of element 1, preferably provided with sealing strips, is say, it unfolds it towards the ceiling and floor. In a fourth step S4 is checked if the at least one terminal profile 5 has reached its final position. If this is not the case, follow performing the fourth stage S4 in a "control loop". When the at least one terminal profile 5 is in the final position, the Closing of element 1 ends in a fifth step S5.

If the control of the final position of the element 1 is performed normally, that is, without additional tightening according to the invention of terminal profiles, eg by means of a control of the current consumption of the drive motor of element 1, for closing according to the invention of element 1, that is, with the tighten at least one terminal profile 5, only one proper switching of the motor supply voltage of drive to the tightening motor, eg by means of a detector end position mechanic, after which the "normal" control now control the tightening motor in step S4 and disconnect the increase the current consumption caused by a blockage of the engine, since the final position has been reached at this time of at least one terminal profile 5. This requires that the motor of drive element 1 and the tightening motor when blocking consume approximately the same amount of current or that the control device is adapted to the current consumption of the tightening motor Naturally, switching can also be achieved other than by means of an end switch mechanical stroke for element 1.

For the procedure described above only one power supply with a unit of control or power. The drive motor and the motor squeeze feed, therefore, by means of them consumers.

Figure 2 shows the sequence of opening procedure of an element 1 of a wall of separation according to the first preferable embodiment. After the opening of element 1 has begun in a sixth step S6 by feeding the element 1 with voltage of power whose polarity has been previously reversed and the application of this to the tightening motor, is checked in a seventh step S7 if the at least one terminal profile 5 is in a final position retracted. If this is not the case, follow performing the seventh step S7 in a "control loop". Yes this is the case, the tightening motor is disconnected by an octave step S8 and the supply voltage is switched in a ninth stage S9 to the drive motor of element 1. The eighth step S8 and The ninth stage S9 can also be done together. In a tenth step S10 checks whether element 1 of the wall of separation is still moving or if it is already in a parking position If item 1 is still scrolling, the tenth step S10 is repeated in a "loop of control ". If item 1 is no longer moving, that is, element 1 is in a parking position, e.g. has reached a stop, the drive motor of element 1 is disconnects in an eleventh step S11, before finishing the opening of the separation wall element in a twelfth stage S12.

Figures 3a - 3d show a device of switching according to the invention that works according to a form according to the invention, that is, it works according to flow charts shown in figures 1 and 2. The device switching according to the invention is connected between a first voltage supply connection 6 of element 1 and a connection respectively first of the first motor M1 and the second motor M2. The respectively second connections of the first M1 motor and the second motor M2 are connected to each other and are connected with a second voltage supply connection 7 of the element 1. As already mentioned above, the connections of voltage supply of element 1 can also be internal voltage connections of element 1, eg when in the Element 1 is arranged a command unit. In this case it deals with the connections that supply the supply voltage of the first motor M1, that is, of the drive motor of the element 1. The switching device is made of such such that a switchable connection 8 of an ES2 switch is connected to the first voltage supply connection 6, whose first fixed connection is connected to the first connection of the drive motor M1 and whose second fixed connection 10 is connected by a diode D1 with the first connection of the second M2 motor, that is, the tightening motor. Here, the anode of the diode D1 is connected to the second fixed connection 10 of the switch ES2 and diode cathode D1 is connected to the first connection of the tightening motor M2. In addition, the switching device features a double switch ES1, whose first break section 11 is connected in parallel to diode D1 and whose second section of break 12 is connected in series with a diode D2 in parallel to the switchable connection 8 and the first fixed connection 9 of the switch ES2. Here, the anode of diode D2 is connected by the second Breaking section of the double switch ES1 with the first connection fixed 9 of switch ES2 and diode cathode D2 is connected with switchable connection 8 of switch ES2. As an alternative, the D2 diode can naturally also be connected to it polarity between the second break section 12 of the switch double ES1 and the first fixed connection 9 of switch ES2.

Figure 3a shows a state of the switch ES2 and the double switch ES1 in which the element 1 is in a parking position, that is, in a state as it exists before the first step S1 shown in figure 1. In this status, the switchable connection 8 of the switch ES2 is connected to the first fixed connection 9 of the switch ES2, the first break section 11 of the double switch ES2 is open and the second break section 12 of the double switch ES1 is closed. When element 1 is started, that is, when the first step S1 shown in Figure 1 is performed, a voltage is applied to the voltage supply connections, the first voltage supply connection 6 receiving the positive voltage and being connected to ground the second voltage supply connection 7. With these potential conditions, the diode D2 blocks and the drive motor S1 is connected via the switch ES2 between the ground connected to the second voltage supply connection 7 and the positive potential connected to the first voltage supply connection 6, so that it rotates in a first direction, which moves the element 1 to a closed position of the wall of
separation.

After reaching the final position, the switch ES2 is switched in such a way that the switchable connection 8 remains connected to the second fixed connection 10, as shown in the figure 3b. The potential distribution in the connections of Voltage supply remains the same. Thanks to that, the engine of M1 drive is no longer connected to the positive potential, it is say, it is disconnected and the tightening motor M2 is connected by diode D1 polarized in the direction of passage between the positive potential and mass. Because of this, the M2 tightening motor it rotates in a first direction, so that it unfolds the al minus a terminal profile 5, thus tightening the element 1 eg against the floor and ceiling. As for the at least one profile terminal 5 is no longer in its final stowed position, it is say, shortly after the start of the tightening motor M2, the two Breaking sections of the double switch ES1 are switched, that is, the first break section 11 is closed and the second one is opened break section 12. As soon as the al has been deployed minus a terminal profile 5, that is, the element has been tightened of the separation wall, the power connections of voltage is no longer fed with voltage, so it disconnects also the tightening motor M2. This interruption of the voltage of feeding is done by a control not shown, which is used conventionally as a direct control for the engine M1 drive, in which the M1 drive motor would be connected directly between the first power connection of voltage 6 and the second voltage supply connection 7 of the element 1. Now the fifth step S5 shown in the Figure 1.

Figure 3c shows the status above described of switch ES2 and double switch ES1 in the fifth step S5 shown in figure 1 or in the sixth step S6 shown in Figure 2, that is, in a state in which element 1 of the separation wall is in an end position and the at least A terminal profile 5 is tight. When the item should open 1, that is, when the sixth step S6 shown in Figure 2, ground is connected to the first power connection of voltage and a positive potential to the second connection of voltage supply 7. In this way, the tightening motor 2 it is located between the positive potential and the mass, being realized the connection to the ground via the ES2 switch and the first break section 11 of the double switch ES1. Since for the state shown in figure 3b an inversion of polarity of the M2 clamping motor, the M2 clamping motor rotates now in a second direction, which is opposite the first direction, so the at least one terminal profile 5 is retracted the at least one retracted terminal profile 5 is in a end position, switch breaker sections are switched double ES1, that is, the first break section 11 is opened and close the second section of break 12, as shown in The 3d figure. This disconnects the tightening motor M2, since diode D1 connected in parallel to the first section of break 11 of the double switch ES1 blocks with this distribution of the potential In addition, the motor is connected in this way. drive M1, since diode D2 is located in the direction of passage with this distribution of potential. It has been inverted the polarity of the M1 drive motor with respect to the state shown in figure 3a, so it rotates in a second direction of rotation opposite the first direction of rotation thus displacing element 1 of the separation wall from the final position to a parking position and switching switch ES2 when this position is reached and disconnected, to then the supply voltage applied to the connections voltage supply, eg due to higher consumption of M2 drive motor current. Now the twelfth step S12 shown in figure 2 and the switch as well as the double switch of the switching device become to be found in the state shown in figure 3a.

By means of a corresponding command, an element 1 of a separation wall can also be found in a final position before reaching another element 1 of the wall of separation or to a stop, that is, switch ES2 can commute through another form of command. The at least one profile terminal 5 must not necessarily or exclusively be tightened against the floor and the ceiling; naturally a press in the horizontal direction.

Figure 4 shows a procedure for control of an element 1 of a separation wall according to a second preferable embodiment of the invention. In a thirteenth step S13, element 1 of the separation wall is starts by applying a supply voltage. In a fourteenth step S14 is checked if the terminal profile 5, that in all embodiments of the invention is preferably provided with a sealing skirt, it is in an open final position, that is, if it has been retracted by full. If this is not the case, that is, if item 1 of the separation wall is tight, the terminal profile 5 is retracted in a fifteenth stage S15, that is, the tightening is canceled, it is that is, for example, a shutter bar is opened, following what which is the fourteenth step S14 again, in which check if the terminal profile 5 has completely retracted, it is say that there is no longer any tightening, that is, if for example a shutter strip is completely open. If this is the case, the tightening motor M2 stops at a sixteenth stage S16 and it is checked in a seventeenth step S17 if element 1 of the separation wall must be open or closed, that is, if it should move, eg, to parking position or position final. If item 1 must be opened, that is, scroll, e.g., to the parking position, in an eighteenth stage S12 you applies current to drive motor M1 of element 1 by means of the switching device, so that element 1 is shifts in the opening direction, that is, in the direction of The parking position. In a nineteenth stage S19 later  it is checked if the element 1 of the separation wall is is in the desired position, eg in the position of parking, that is, in the final "open" position. If this This is not the case, step S18 is again performed. If this the case, the M1 drive motor is disconnected in a twentieth step S20. However, if you do not intend to open the element of the separation wall, which must be moved, on the other hand, e.g. from the parking position to a final position, after the seventeenth stage S17 a twenty-first stage S21 is performed, in which the element 1 of the separation wall is allowed to be shifts in the closing direction due to a command correspondent. After the twenty-first step S21 it is checked in a twenty-second step S22 if element 1 of the wall of separation is in a final position, i.e. in a final "closed" position. If this is not the case, it becomes to perform in turn the twenty-first stage S21, that is, the element 1 of the separation wall continues to move in the closing address If this is the case, the twentieth is done step S20 and the drive motor is disconnected.

After disconnecting the engine from M1 drive in the twentieth stage S20, using the device of switching according to the invention the tightening motor M2 is sent in a twenty-third step S23 such that the at minus a terminal profile 5, that is, element 1 is pressed of the separation wall. In a twenty-fourth stage S24 later it is checked if the at least one terminal profile 5 has been Fully deployed. If this is not the case, it goes back to Perform step S23. If this is the case, the engine of press M2 is disconnected at a later stage S25, after which the The procedure is completed with a twenty-sixth step S26.

Unlike the first embodiment preferable of the invention, according to the second embodiment preferable of the invention the part 1 of the separation wall it is always pressed in the stopped state, that is, also in The parking position.

The above description of the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention serve only for illustrative purposes and do not imply a restriction of the invention. In within the framework of the invention different changes are possible and modifications, without abandoning the scope of the invention as well as of its equivalents.
