Description

Vertical sliding window

The invention relates to a vertical sliding window with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

The known vertical sliding windows are often used where the swivel range required for a casement window is not available. Typical designs for vertical sliding windows are shown in Lueger: "Lexikon der Technik", Volume 10 (Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt GmbH, Stuttgart, 1966). A typical vertical sliding window, which forms the starting point for the teaching of the invention, has an outer frame and at least one window sash, which is guided vertically longitudinally displaceably on the outer frame in lateral guides. Depending on the embodiment, the outer frame can also enclose a fixed window pane that extends over a partial area of the outer frame. The window is opened or closed by moving the window sash along its guides. In order to facilitate manual operation and to ensure that the window sash is stable in any position, the weight of the window sash is generally compensated for by counterweights. The counterweights are located in two chambers on both sides of the window and are each coupled to the window sash via a cable pull guided over a deflection roller.

Basically, the known sliding window is operated manually by the window sash being moved up or down directly by an upward or downward force. This manual form of actuation leads to less ergonomic body movement for the operator. This applies in particular if the window sash to be moved has a large weight and the forces required for shifting the window sash are correspondingly large.

The use of counterweights to compensate for the weight of the window sash leads to great design effort. Depending on the weight of the window sash, large counterweights may be required, which in turn have large dimensions and lead to a corresponding design of cables, pulleys and side chambers.

Against the background of the complex manual operation and the high effort to implement the counterweights, the known vertical sliding windows, from which the teaching of the invention is based, can also be used with reasonable effort only for windows with a relatively low weight. The weight restriction results in restrictions regarding the window size and the achievable protective effect of a window.

The weight of the window sash is directly dependent on the window size via the weight per unit area. With the above-mentioned limitation of the weight of a window sash, the maximum possible window size with vertically sliding windows is also limited.

Another factor determining the weight of the window sash is the protective effect that is to be achieved through the window. For example, heat and soundproof windows, which always have a multi-layer structure of the window pane, lead to high resulting window weights. Burglar-resistant windows, bullet-proof windows as well as fire and smoke protection windows are also multi-layered and also have high glass thicknesses with a high basis weight.

For the windows with special protective effect described above, the frame of the window sash also represents a considerable weight factor. Depending on the application and depending on the required protective effect, the frame of the window sash can consist of high-strength material or of a composite material, so that here too there are high additional weights can come.

When using a vertical sliding window, the achievable protective effect is limited in addition to the size of the window. Recently, however, these restrictions have been in conflict with customer requests, which tend to be directed towards larger windows with a comprehensive protective effect. The invention is therefore based on the object of designing and developing the known, previously explained vertical sliding window in such a way that simple actuation with any weight, size and protective effect of the window sash is ensured.

This object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

It is essential, first of all, that the window is no longer actuated by direct manual guidance of the window sash, but indirectly via a manual or motorized drive unit. Thanks to the suitable design of the drive unit, even heavy window sashes can be easily operated.

From this basic structure, the hitherto less ergonomic, force-consuming actuation of the window sash of a vertical sliding window can be converted into an ergonomic manual movement with low force or low torque. In particular, the possibility opens up according to the invention of having the actuation of the window carried out by a motor actuator.

By using a drive unit to move the window sash, the counterweights described above are no longer necessary to compensate for the weight of the window sash. According to the invention, the force required to move the window sash can be reduced as desired by a suitable transmission and, if necessary, can be provided by a motor actuator, as described above. Holding the window sash in the current position can be ensured by a motor control or preferably by the self-locking effect of the translation device. This not only reduces the space required in the side areas of the window, but also the design effort previously required for coupling the often large counterweights.

According to the invention, heavy window sashes for vertical sliding windows can also be handled without any problems, so that windows of any size and can now also be used any protection category can be designed as a vertical sliding window. Especially for the above-mentioned security windows with a protective effect especially against burglary or fire, there are a number of additional advantages in the design as vertical sliding windows.

By suitable guidance of the window sash on the outer frame, a uniform force distribution over the circumference of the outer frame with extreme external force can be easily realized. In particular, high force absorption without damage is possible even if the window is not completely closed.

It is also particularly advantageous for the execution of the vertical sliding window as a security window that according to the invention a secure locking is only possible with locking elements arranged on the lower side of the vertical sliding window. Locking elements on the side edges are not necessarily required, so that secure locking can be ensured with little design effort.

The vertical sliding window according to the invention has very special advantages for securing buildings and for building automation. The problem here is to secure a complete building with a plurality of widely distributed windows on the one hand and to ventilate it on the other hand or to keep it at a constant internal temperature. This task is ideally done automatically from a central location, which can also be located far away from the building. In contrast to the rotating sash or bottom-hung windows that are common today, the vertical sliding window according to the invention is particularly well suited for this purpose, since in principle no additional space is required when opening the window. Against this background, fully cleared window sills or standing obstacles are unproblematic and do not hinder the automatic window control. Another advantage is the fact that, despite the partially opened window, a high level of burglary protection can be ensured, so that a surveillance person does not necessarily have to be present.

There are, of course, a large number of possibilities for developing and developing the teaching of the invention. In addition to the subclaims, this may also reference is made to the following description of the figures. In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing showing only one exemplary embodiment. In the drawing shows

Fig. 1 shows a vertical sliding window 1 with an outer frame 2 and a window sash 3 which surrounds a window 4. The window sash 3 is guided in a longitudinally displaceable manner on the outer frame 2 via lateral guides 5. The lateral guides 5 are composed, on the one hand, of two vertically running, specially designed grooves arranged on the inside of the outer frame 2 and, on the other hand, of two driver elements corresponding to these grooves and arranged on the window sash 3. Fig. 2 shows this fact graphically.

The outer frame 2 surrounds a fixed window pane 6, which is usually enclosed by a frame 6 ′ via a glass block and a glass strip (not shown here). This fixed window pane 6 extends approximately over the upper half of the outer frame 2. The longitudinally displaceable window sash 3 can be guided past the fixed window pane 6 in its guides 5 on the inside of the window, as shown in FIG. 2.

In the closed state, the lower part of the frame 6 'of the fixed window pane 6 and the upper part of the frame of the window sash 3 are in register. 3 shows how a sealing lip running horizontally on the frame 6 'of the fixed window pane 6 and a corresponding one Grip the sealing lip on the frame of the window sash 3 for sealing. A corresponding seal is provided between the outer frame 2 and the underside of the window sash 3, as can be seen in FIG. 4.

The window sash 3 can be moved along the lateral guides 5 via two drive units. The drive unit of the vertical sliding window 1 is composed of an actuator 7 and a translation device 8, to which a controller 9 for both drive units is assigned. In the present exemplary embodiment, the actuator 7 is a rotary electric drive which is arranged on the upper side of the outer frame 2 (FIG. 5). The translation device 8 is designed here as a chain drive translation. The electric drive acts on a chain 10 via a pinion 11 which is attached to the window sash 3 at one end. The chain 10 is rolled up on the pinion 11 to move the window sash 3.

Instead of two drive units, which are then synchronized with each other via the control 9, it can also be provided according to a preferred embodiment of the invention that the translation devices 8 on both sides of the window above the window sash 3 are driven by only a single actuator 7. According to a preferred construction, this is achieved, for example, by the fact that the translation devices 8, which are assigned to the one actuator 7, have a continuous drive shaft arranged above the window sash 3, which is coupled in terms of drive technology to the window sash 3 at each of the two ends. The coupling to the window sash 3 then succeeds via corresponding pinions, winding rollers, rope pulleys etc. arranged at the end. The continuous, driven shaft results in perfect synchronization of the vertical movement on both guides 5. The driven shaft is preferably supported at the end and is supported by a tubular motor arranged inside the shaft.

According to the invention, however, there are also numerous other possibilities for coupling the drive between the one actuator 7 and the two translation devices 8. This is particularly true in view of the fact that the translation devices 8 each have a drive train which is coupled to the actuator 7 in terms of drive technology, and that the drive trains can each be largely arbitrary. The drive power of the actuator 7 is introduced into the transmission device 8 via the drive train. The drive train can therefore also be understood as a feed line for the drive power of the actuator 7 to the transmission device 8.

For example, the above-mentioned drive train can be implemented in a single drive shaft or in several drive shafts coupled to one another. Furthermore, the drive train can have one or more deflecting or step-up gears and one or more coupling elements. The arrangement of the gearbox or gearboxes within the drive train is fundamentally arbitrary. In this sense, it is provided to arrange the gearbox or gearboxes in the force introduction area or in the force transmission area of the drive train, or in the area in between. The state of the art offers a wealth of suggestions here.

It is also conceivable to provide the gearbox or gearboxes only as two intermeshing gearwheels, the gearwheels being arranged on the drive shafts to be coupled. A transmission housing is not required in this embodiment. Furthermore, it is known from the prior art to provide the drive shaft or the drive shafts with support bearings in order to avoid vibrations. The state of the art offers a wealth of suggestions for further designing the drive train.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the teaching of the invention, an actuator 7 is provided with two rotary outputs, each of which is coupled in terms of drive technology to one of the two translation devices 8. The drive coupling between the actuator 7 and the translation devices 8 takes place via the drive trains of the translation devices 8, which, as described above, can largely be designed as desired, depending on the embodiment. The position of the actuator 7 relative to the two transmission devices 8 can thus be freely selected over a wide range by appropriate design of the drive trains. A robust embodiment is that the drive trains of the two transmission devices 8 are designed as half-waves. The actuator 7 has two rotary outputs, each of which is coupled in terms of drive technology to a half-wave. The two half-waves are preferably arranged in alignment with one another, ie they are then aligned along an axis. The half-waves conduct the power of the actuator 7 to the divertor transmission gear, further drive shafts or the like. the respective translation device 8 further.

Very special perspectives arise from the considerations mentioned above for the embodiments with spindle-based translation devices 8, which will be described in more detail in the following explanations. Here, a spindle ratio is preferably provided for each of the two lateral guides 5. The actuator 7, which here again has two rotary outputs, is coupled in terms of drive technology via one of its outputs to the drive trains of the two transmission devices 8. The drive trains can, as explained above, deflection or transmission gear, drive shafts or the like. exhibit. The drive trains transmit the drive power of the actuator 7 to the two spindles of the transmission devices 8. A particular advantage of this embodiment, with a corresponding design, is that the blocking of the actuator 7 can also block the spindles, so that, as a result, a locking effect for the vertical sliding window can be achieved even without locking elements 12. It should be particularly emphasized that the locking effect can be achieved for any position of the window sash 3. This makes it possible to open the window sash 3 a gap and at the same time to ensure a high level of security against break-ins.

In order to achieve the blocking effect in the embodiment with spindle-based transmission devices 8, the prior art today offers a large number of possibilities. A compact solution is the use of actuators 7, which already have integrated braking devices.

For the structural design of the vertical sliding window 1 according to the invention, it is further recommended, as indicated in FIG. 1, that the actuator or actuators 7, preferably including a controller 9, and at least part of the translation device or the translation devices 8, above the window sash 3 and / or above the outer frame 2, is arranged on the outer frame 2 in a closed, transversely arranged box 20. In such a box 20, the controller 9 can optionally be accommodated centrally.

According to a preferred embodiment, it can also be provided that the actuator or actuators 7, preferably including a controller 9, and at least part of the translation device or devices 8, is arranged below the outer frame 2 on the outer frame 2.

The vertical sliding window 1 according to the invention is particularly compact when the actuator or actuators 7, preferably including a controller 9 and at least part of the translation device or devices 8, is integrated in the outer frame 2.

A further preferred embodiment provides for the accommodation of the drive unit, preferably including a controller 9 within the outer frame 2 - on the back of the window. This possibility of accommodation is suitable for actuators of particularly low height, which is preferably less than the height of the upper leg of a fixed frame 6 'arranged in the outer frame 2 (FIG. 6).

In addition, various design forms of teaching that are already used in roller shutter technology (tubular motors (see above), external gear motors, planetary gear units as compact reduction gears, switches and sensors for various functions) are recommended for constructive details.

In principle, any actuators can be used for the drive unit. In addition to the electric motor 7 shown in the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1, these are preferably hydraulic actuators. An exemplary embodiment of the drive unit with hydraulic actuators, not shown, is composed of one or two hydraulic cylinders, each of which is coupled to the window sash 3 in terms of drive technology via a coupling rod. The hydraulic cylinders can be arranged both above the window sash 3 and below the window sash 3 and laterally of the window sash 3.

Another preferred embodiment of the teaching of the invention, also not shown here, provides for manual actuation of the window 1. In this case, the actuator can consist of a hand crank, which acts on the transmission device during manual rotation via a gear. Another embodiment for the actuator works with a belt that is unwound from a reel by pulling. The role in turn acts on the transmission device via a gear. The translation device is preferably designed here as a chain drive or the like.

Furthermore, it is readily possible to provide a hand crank for manual actuation, which is mechanically coupled to the drive train of the translation device 8 or the drive trains of the translation devices 8. It would be conceivable here for a worm arranged on the hand crank, which engages in a gearwheel of the drive train or the drive trains.

For the embodiment with motorized actuation of the window 1, an additional, manual emergency actuation actuator can be provided. In exceptional cases such as a power failure, control defects, etc., this manual actuator allows manual actuation of the window sash 3, which is actuated as such by a motor. As described above, the emergency actuation actuator can be operated using a hand crank, belt, etc.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, the translation device 8, as described, is designed as a chain 10 fastened to the window sash 3, which is guided over a pinion 11 arranged on the actuator 7. In a similar way, the transmission device can be designed as a cable transmission with a cable pulley arranged on the actuator 7, which winds up a cable 10 '. The rope 10 'of Cable transmission is preferably carried out as a steel cable or as a rope made of chemical fibers.

The rope 10 'is wound up or unwound on a winding roll which is applied to a drive shaft. The winding roller is preferably grooved in a helical shape, so that an orderly winding of the cable 10 'is ensured. The winding roll is preferably pushed onto the shaft and has a fastening connection for the rope.

A very robust embodiment for the translation device 8 is the rack and pinion translation. One or two racks are attached to the two sides of the window sash 3 in such a way that a pinion of a drive motor engages in the rack and causes a displacement of the window sash 3 in its guides 5.

In translation devices that do not have a self-locking behavior, in which a malfunction of the actuator 7 can result in a sudden closing of the window sash 3, it is advantageous to provide a fall protection device. Fall protection devices are known from roller shutter technology. Such a system is attached, for example, to a drive shaft of a drive train and stops the movement of the window sash 3 by a mechanical brake if limit accelerations and / or limit speeds occur.

In order to absorb high forces and to achieve high accuracies, the configuration of the translation device 8 as a spindle-spindle nut translation is appropriate. As already described above, a spindle ratio is preferably provided for each of the two lateral guides. In order to achieve the most compact possible structure, the spindles are preferably arranged within the guides 5.

A particularly simple and space-saving design results when the spindle ratios also take over the function of the lateral guides 5. 8, it is no longer necessary to provide separate guides 5. The spindles of the spindle ratios are preferably supported at the ends. In the case of high forces acting perpendicular to the window pane 4 of the window sash 3, however, it may be advantageous to provide additional bearings, preferably in the middle of the spindles. This applies in particular if the spindle ratios also take over the function of the lateral guides 5.

In all embodiments with a spindle-based translation device 8, spindle nuts are arranged in or on the window sash 3, which engage in the assigned spindles. One or more spindle nuts are arranged on each side of the window sash 3. It can be advantageous that in the case of several spindle nuts, only one of the spindle nuts is rigidly fastened on one side, and the other spindle nuts are floating. The spindle nuts can be integrated in the window sash 3, but they can also be arranged outside the window sash 3, preferably to the side of the window sash 3.

When trying to forcefully open the window sash 3 by external force in the opening direction - in the event of a break-in - the spindle nuts are heavily loaded. Increasing the number of spindle nuts on each side of the window sash 3 can therefore lead to an increase in the protective effect.

A particularly inexpensive alternative is the configuration of the translation device 8 as a spindle-mandrel translation. Here, at least one mandrel arranged in or on the frame of the window sash 3 can be brought into engagement with a spindle, the drive of which in turn is located above or below the outer frame 2.

A particular advantage of the above-mentioned spindle ratios is that, if the spindle pitch is designed appropriately, self-locking is achieved, so that locking elements can be dispensed with entirely. The self-locking can of course also be implemented by a corresponding mechanical brake in the actuator or the actuators 7.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the force transmission means of the transmission device, in particular the cable 10 'of the cable pull transmission, guided within a lateral guide 5 of the window sash 3 (Fig. 8). The guide 5 of the window sash 3 partially encloses the rope 10 ', so that the rope 10' is barely visible from the outside and is protected from external influences.

In all of the above-mentioned transmission devices, in particular those which have a cable transmission or a chain drive transmission as a force transmission means, according to the preferred teaching of the invention, an adjustment possibility must be provided which enables a slight change in the length of the force transmission means.

With the cable pull ratio, the adjustment can be realized by a special fastening arrangement of the cable 10 'on the window sash 3. The rope 10 'has at one end a threaded rod which is guided through a hole arranged on the window sash 3 and is secured against being pulled out with a nut and a lock nut. When installed, this arrangement allows the height of the window sash 3 to be varied slightly for adjustment with a suitable arrangement and design of the bore in the window sash 3.

As described above, a particular advantage of the solution according to the invention is that a protective effect, for example against burglary, can also be achieved in the incompletely closed state. For this purpose, a blocking element can be provided in the outer frame 2 or in the window sash 3, which can be triggered at any or predetermined position and fixes the position of the window sash 3. In a further embodiment according to the invention, a mechanical blocking element can be provided in the drive unit, which can also be triggered at any or predetermined position and blocks the movement of the drive unit, so that the position of the window sash 3 can be fixed. For example, it can be advantageous to close the window except for a gap in order to achieve a ventilation effect. The protective effect is still guaranteed by the triggered blocking element. With such a lock, further locking measures, as explained in more detail below, are not absolutely necessary, depending on the application. In the embodiment mentioned above with a continuous drive shaft 7 ', it is possible according to the invention to arrange an actuator 7 at one of the two ends or also in the center of the drive shaft T. When using two actuators 7, it is also possible to arrange one actuator 7 at one end of the drive shaft 7 '. 7 shows an overview of arrangements according to the invention with a continuous drive shaft 7 ′.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, locking elements 12 which engage in counter-locking elements 13 in the outer frame 2 are provided on the window sash 3. The locking elements 12 can be provided on the side edges or preferably on the lower edge of the vertical sliding window 1. The locking elements can be arranged both in the window sash 3 and in the outer frame 2. Against the background of the motorized displacement of the window sash 3, it is consequent to also trigger the locking elements by a motor.

In the motorized version of the locking elements, both the actuators and the control components for controlling the actuators are preferably completely integrated into the outer frame 2 or into the window sash 3, depending on the embodiment. An actuator can be assigned to each individual locking element, or an actuator can be assigned to several locking elements via a corresponding drive coupling.

The forces to be absorbed by the locking elements act on the one hand in the opening direction of the window sash 3, and on the other hand perpendicular to the window surface. The locking elements preferably engage in locking counter-elements which are embedded or integrated in striking plates.

Hook-like locking elements are preferably provided to absorb the forces acting in the opening direction of the window sash 3. These locking elements are moved linearly for locking and unlocking. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the locking elements for receiving the forces acting in the opening direction of the window sash 3 are claw-shaped, preferably as ring segments. The claw-shaped Locking elements are screwed into a counter locking element for locking and unlocking.

To absorb forces acting perpendicular to the window surface, the locking elements are designed in the form of bolts in the shape of a cylinder or cuboid, and are pushed into corresponding counter-locking elements for locking or unlocking.

The arrangement of locking elements is particularly inexpensive if standard locking systems are used, which generally have several, possibly also different, locking elements in a compact component - locking bar - with an integrated locking mechanism and, if necessary, also an integrated motor drive and an associated integrated control. Of course, the assembly effort is then reduced to a minimum.

The design of the lateral guide 5 of the window sash 3 is also essential for the protective action of the vertical sliding window 1 against extreme external forces. In order to achieve the most uniform possible distribution of the acting force on the guide 5 or on the outer frame 2 , The slide elements engaging in the guide 5 and connected to the window sash 3 are preferably made in one piece. Another possibility is the division of the slide elements into many individual units, so that the behavior of a slide element consisting of a single piece is approximated.

In the case of the vertical sliding window 1 according to the invention, a suitable design of the lateral guides 5 of the window sash 3 can ensure that the window sash 3 can be opened in at least one position perpendicular to the surface of the window pane 4. If the slide elements mentioned above remain completely in the guide 5 or in an additional branch of the guide 5 during the opening, a high protective effect can also be maintained in this special configuration of the window 1.

A measure according to the invention for sealing the guides 5 of the window sash 3 is shown in FIG. 2. Two sealing strips 22 are on both Inside of the outer frame 2 arranged, which rest on the frame of the window sash 3 via sealing lips 23. These sealing strips 22 provide protection against moisture acting from the outside over the entire height of the window sash 3. The same sealing strips 22, which are firmly connected to the outer frame 2, can also be provided for receiving further guides assigned to the window sash 3. By means of corresponding, additional driver elements in or on the window sash 3, an additional guide can be realized which can primarily absorb forces perpendicular to the window surface.

The construction of the vertical sliding window 1 according to the invention requires special constructive measures to be protected against external force even in the half-open state. In particular, it is to be prevented here that a window which is only opened slightly can be opened completely by an external force. In this case, a particularly preferred embodiment of the teaching of the invention provides for 3 profiled strips to be arranged in the region of the guides 5 of the window sash, into which holding elements integrated in the window sash 3 can engage. The profile strips and the associated holding elements are designed such that the engagement of a holding element in a profile strip is possible in any operating position of the window sash 3 and that the manual movement of the window sash 3 is blocked in this state. Another preferred embodiment provides for the profiled strips and / or the holding elements to be designed in such a way that forces can only be absorbed in the opening direction. A holding element is preferably designed like a bolt and can be triggered by a linear displacement, i.e. can be engaged with a profile strip. Depending on the degree of automation of the vertical sliding window 1 according to the invention, the holding element can also be triggered by a motor.

As described above, the actuators 7 can be controlled by their own control 9. The controller 9 has operating elements 14 which enable the window sash to be moved in two directions and an emergency shutdown. These control elements 14 can be present either directly on the control 9 or on a remote control 15 separately from the control 9. To ensure the safest possible operation, there is a preferred embodiment of the invention in redundantly executing parts of the control 9 or of the circuits on which the operating elements 14 are based. According to this concept, errors such as short circuits or malfunctions of the control 9, which lead to unexpected movements of the window sash 3 and, as a result, can endanger people, are largely ruled out.

Another embodiment of the invention is that the controller 9 has additional work functions that ensure an automatic displacement of the window sash 3 depending on various influencing variables. An example of this is the adjustability of different times of the day at which window 1 is to be opened or closed. Furthermore, a preferred teaching of the invention provides for connecting electronic thermometers 18 or hygrostats 19 to the control 9 in order to ensure the opening or closing of the window as a function of the respective measured values.

A preferred embodiment of the invention, which further increases the operational safety of the vertical sliding window 1, consists in the control 9 having work functions which prevent a collision with obstacles during the displacement of the window sash 3. To implement these work functions, there is first the possibility of concluding that a collision has taken place solely by determining the power consumed by the actuator 7, which can be derived, for example, from electrical motor drives from the measurement of the motor current. In order not to react to a collision but to prevent it, the use of sensors such as proximity switches 16 or light curtains 17 is advisable.

A particularly cost-effective and robust way of detecting a collision and stopping the motor movement of the window sash 3 at an early stage is to attach a safety edge to the leg of the window sash 3 which is a danger to the user. The edge of this leg of the window sash 3 - closing edge - Runs when closing the window sash 3 against a corresponding surface, preferably against a surface on the outer frame 2. So when closing the vertical sliding window 1, the remaining window gap becomes smaller and smaller and still If the obstacle remains in the gap, the safety edge is triggered when the window sash 3 comes into contact with the obstacle and sends a corresponding emergency stop signal to the controller 9. The structure is particularly simple when the transmission device 8 uses a cable transmission as a power transmission means has and the ropes (10 ') can be used as electrical connection lines for the safety edge.

One possible way of avoiding the electrical connection of a switching strip arranged on the window sash and thus movable is the design in such a way that the switching strip is arranged on a fixed part of the vertical sliding window, preferably on the outer frame 2. 16 shows such a fixed safety edge 44.

When implementing the control-related collision detection or avoidance, it should be noted that, especially when there is a high protection requirement against violent influences, a distinction is generally made between two operating states: In normal operating state, the monitoring by the safety edge is active - the user is before collisions protected. In the emergency protection operating state - for example in the event of imminent danger - the windows must be closed as quickly as possible under any circumstances, regardless of collisions. In the latter operating state, the safety edges have no effect. The controller 9 of the vertical sliding window 1 according to the invention is designed for these two operating modes according to a particularly preferred embodiment.

The controller 9 can be arranged locally, for example in the box 20 at the top of the outer frame 2 of the vertical sliding window 1, and then can only be operated, for example, via the remote control 15. The controller 9 can be arranged decentrally, but laterally on the outer frame 2. In a further alternative, the controller 9 can be designed as a central controller with remote control 15, so that a plurality of window systems in the house can be optionally controlled via the controller. Such control techniques are also known from the field of roller shutter technology (bus connections).

A further exemplary embodiment has an additional window sash which is assigned to the outer frame 2 and which is horizontally longitudinally is guided. Such an arrangement can lead to maximum flexibility for certain applications and structural framework conditions. As a further alternative, it is also possible to implement a second movable window sash, which is longitudinally displaceable vertically against the first window sash 3. Such an opposite movement of two longitudinally movable window sashes is also advantageous in terms of cleaning technology. For this window sash 3, a preferred embodiment also consists in assigning a drive unit to it. As described above, this ensures either easy manual operation or motorized operation of the window.

It is also possible to design a sliding window sash 3 in such a way that several, for example four, part sashes are arranged in its own frame. These partial wings can then be designed as rotating wings, at least one or two of these partial wings. As a result, the entire window sash can be cleaned well even if it is not separately accessible from the outside.

The subdivision of the vertical sliding window according to the invention into individual window sections is determined by the dimensions of the outer frame 2 and the window sash 3. This subdivision can be varied over a wide range and is not necessarily symmetrical, but preferably also asymmetrical.

A particularly robust embodiment of a vertical sliding window results from the fact that the window has a cross strut 21 which divides the window into an upper and a lower area. The one or more window sashes 3 are preferably designed such that one leg of at least one window sash 3 is arranged in the closed state at the level of the cross strut 21 (FIG. 9).

Especially when a high level of protection is required, especially when high

Bulletproof in the lower area of the window, it is advisable to design only the upper area and the lower area as a fixed window pane. Such an embodiment has a fixed, lower window pane framed by the outer frame 2 and at least one movable window sash 3 arranged in the upper region of the window.

A high degree of variability is achieved by designing the window from at least two window sashes 3, which can be displaced relative to one another. The individual window sashes can then be moved longitudinally independently of one another. With this, any, preferably also several, v window openings can be achieved at different heights if required. This configuration is suitable for tall windows, especially for entire house fronts.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, these window casements 3, which are longitudinally displaceable independently of one another, have window panes 4 with different absorption coefficients for light radiation. This has the advantage that, depending on the position of the sun, a corresponding position of the window sash 3 can be set, so that the desired solar radiation can be controlled to a certain extent. Depending on the season, it is also conceivable to bring one or the other window sash into an appropriate position.

The outer frame 2, the frame 6 'and the frame of the window sash 3 and, if present, a lining can be made in almost any materials such as wood, aluminum, steel, plastic or the like. In the security area, wood composite materials are used in particular, which have a high strength and at the same time the appearance of solid wood. They consist of a massive portion on the one hand and layer gluing in various thicknesses on the other. In principle, it is also conceivable to combine the above-mentioned materials in order to ensure the appropriate optical design in addition to the desired protective effect.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the vertical sliding window 1 according to the invention also enables the integration of sun protection, in particular in the form of an integrated roller blind. The sun protection is guided particularly compactly inside the window 1 and, depending on the operating position, covers part of the window area. With this arrangement, complex, externally attached sun protection systems can be largely avoided. As described above, with the Senkecht sliding window according to the invention a high protection against external violence is possible. To further increase this protection, it is advisable to secure critical points for a break-in with reinforcements. As a rule, such reinforcements are made of high-strength material. However, it is also conceivable to use elastic, tough materials here.

Joints between window components that can be broken open using special tools are particularly critical. An example of such a joint can be found on the box 20 arranged above the outer frame 2, which is composed of individual walls. The joints are located here in the edge areas of the box 20. In order to prevent penetration from the outside with drills, chisels, crowbars, etc., high-strength protective elements 24, in particular angle or plate elements, are preferably fastened from the inside in the corresponding edge areas (FIG. 10 ). The same applies to the joint between the glass block and the window sash 3, which is protected in the present exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 10 via the angle element 25. An angle element 26 is arranged between the sealing strip 22 and the outer frame 2 (see FIG. 14). These are just a few examples of possible reinforcements that provide additional protection against external violence.

The design of a window sill 27 of the vertical sliding window shown in FIG. 11 makes a further contribution to increasing the security against burglary. A preferably high-strength sheet 28 is provided on the outside of the window sill 27 and extends over the entire window sill 27. In the area of the closing edge of the closed window sash 3, the sheet metal 28 is shaped, in particular kinked, in such a way that it forms a groove to the outside. When trying to insert an intrusion tool between the closing edge of the window sash 3 and the surface corresponding to the closing edge of the window sash 3, the intrusion tool is "caught" by the groove of the sheet metal 28. Without destroying the sheet 28, the burglary tool cannot get into the joint mentioned above.

If a break-in attempt is nevertheless successful, a break-in tool between the closing edge of the window sash 3 and the one with the closing edge of the To insert window sash 3 corresponding surface, a suitable predetermined breaking point can prevent the violent opening of the window sash 3. If the surface corresponding to the closing edge of the window sash 3 is formed by the inside of the outer frame 2, then this predetermined breaking point can be integrated in the outer frame 2. When a high opening force is applied to the window sash 3, for example by prying out using a crowbar, a high force also acts on the inside of the outer frame 2 and thus on the predetermined breaking point. At a certain minimum force, the predetermined breaking point breaks, which leads to the fact that the inside of the outer frame 2 - and thus the force application point for the opening force - "breaks away". This deliberate destruction naturally affects only a part of the outer frame in such a way that only the application of a further opening force is prevented.

The safety-relevant components of the vertical sliding window 1 require special protection against external force. In particular, locking elements, sensors or actuators are to be seen here as safety-relevant components. One solution for protecting these safety-relevant components is to protect the safety-relevant components on the side from which violence is to be expected by preferably high-strength protective elements, in particular by means of angle or plate elements. One possibility is to integrate the protective elements into individual window components. To protect the locking elements 12 arranged in the outer frame 2, it is particularly advantageous, for example, if two protective plates 29; 30; 31 are let in, which counteract violent access to the locking elements 12 from the outside (FIG. 12, FIG. 13).

In addition to the measures mentioned above, which relate to the protective effect against the action of force on individual areas of the vertical sliding window 1, it is also necessary to be able to absorb forces acting on the window sash 3 from the outside, in particular surface forces. Measures to safely absorb these forces on the window sash 3 are summarized below under the term locking device. One possibility of locking security is shown in FIG. 14. At least one additional heavy-duty guide is provided here, which acts parallel to the lateral guides 5 and thus initially represents an over-determination of the guide of the window sash 3. Therefore, the heavy duty management has such a bearing play that it does not accept managers in normal operation. Only when such forces act on the window sash 3 from the outside that deformations occur in the vertical sliding window, in particular in the side guides 5, and when the deformations exceed the bearing play of the heavy-duty guide are executives accepted by the heavy-duty guide. The principle of the additional heavy-duty guidance is that a noticeable guiding effect through the heavy-duty guidance only occurs when large external forces act on the window sash 3.

Two heavy-duty guides are preferably provided, which are arranged on both sides of the window sash 3.

In a preferred embodiment, the heavy-duty guide has a slide guide 32 and a slide 33. The carriage guide 32 of the heavy-duty guide is arranged on a fixed component of the vertical sliding window 1, preferably on the sealing strip 22, and the carriage 33 of the heavy-duty guide on or in the window sash 3.

The slide guide 32 of the heavy-duty guide is preferably T-shaped in cross section and the slide 33 of the heavy-duty guide engages around the T-shaped slide guide 33. The configuration of slide guide 32 and slide 33 can, however, also be reversed, namely that the slide 33 in cross section T- is shaped and is encompassed by the slide guide 32.

A particularly favorable force distribution results when the slide guide 32 and the slide 33 are designed as continuous strips. Carriage guide 32 and carriage 33 are designed in a particularly preferred embodiment with regard to their lengthwise extension in such a way that the carriage engages with the carriage guide at every position of the window sash 3 and at every point of the carriage. With "engage" is here no non-positive or positive engagement, but rather, as described above, a backlash-related intervention. In this case, the slide guide 32 extends essentially over the entire height of the vertical sliding window 1.

Particularly advantageous in the above-mentioned embodiments of the heavy-duty guide is the fact that a high protection against external forces acting on the window sash 3 is given in each position of the window sash 3. A force acting on the window sash 3 from the outside is distributed over a certain length range of the slide 33, preferably over the entire length of the slide 33, and is preferably delivered to the sealing strip 22 via the slide guide 32.

A further measure for locking security, which takes advantage of the fact that, as a rule, one leg of the window sash 3 in the closed state is covered with another window component - support component -, preferably with the fixed frame 6 'of a fixed window pane 6, is shown in Fig. 15. The principle is that the said leg of the window sash 3 preferably has a shape over its entire width, which engages in a formation arranged on the support component Gegenaus. In the closed state, forces can thus be derived from the window sash 3 onto the carrier component, that is to say generally onto the fixed frame 6 'of the fixed window pane 6.

For simple and inexpensive production, it is advisable to provide a profile strip for the molding and the counter molding. This is particularly advantageous with regard to the assembly of the vertical sliding window. The profile strip 34 arranged on the window sash 3 preferably extends essentially over the width of the window sash and has on one side a projection 36 which, when the window sash 3 is closed, engages in a corresponding projection 37 of the profile strip 35 arranged on the support component. At the same time, the two profile strips 34; 35 sealing functions via the sealing lips 38; 39; 40; 41st

In order to protect in particular the leg of the window sash 3 forming the closing edges against forces acting from the outside, an additional Measure for locking security according to FIG. 16 proposed. For this purpose, formations 42 are provided on the closing edge and counter-formings 43 are provided on the surface corresponding to the closing edge. When the window sash 3 is closed, the formations 42 on the window sash 3 engage in the counter-formations 43 such that forces acting on the window sash 3 are derived on the counter-formations 43 and thus on the surface corresponding to the closing edge.

The formations 42 and the counter-formations 43 can largely be of any design, provided that the formations 42 can intervene in the counter-formations 43. Conceivable configurations are a plurality of webs which are aligned one behind the other and / or next to one another on the closing edge of the window sash 3 and engage in corresponding grooves. Cylindrical configurations or three-dimensional shapes are also possible.

It also makes sense here to implement the formations 42 and the counter-formations 43 in the form of a profile strip.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, a profile strip is arranged on the closing edge of the window sash 3, which profile strip regularly has webs arranged in a row. On the surface corresponding to the closing edge, a profile strip 43 is also provided here, which has corresponding recesses - grooves.

In the embodiment with webs or grooves, it is preferably provided that the webs are made flat, i. H. that the webs have a height that is smaller than the width of the webs.

In very special cases, however, it is advantageous if the webs have a considerable height, namely if the webs are designed much higher than the width of the individual webs. Then it is possible to open the window sash 3 a gap and at the same time to ensure a certain protective effect due to the long webs engaging in the grooves. In a consistent continuation of this approach, it is also conceivable to design the webs as preferably high-strength rods, their length go beyond the opening stroke of the window sash 3. Then the protective effect is guaranteed for each position of the window sash 3. This configuration is particularly suitable for securing against breakouts.

The vertical sliding window according to the invention can also be used particularly advantageously as a basic component for a system for building security or for building automation. The above system consists of a plurality of vertical sliding windows 1 according to the invention distributed in a building, the controls 9 of which are each connected to a control center. Corresponding sensors 16, 17, 18, 19 Pass on data regarding the opening status of the windows and the ambient conditions such as temperature, air pressure, air humidity etc. inside and outside to the control center. By evaluating the data in the control center, the opening position of each window can be corrected individually from the control center. In addition to this regulating intervention, it is provided in a further preferred embodiment to trigger the opening and closing of all windows to ensure maximum protection against burglary at predetermined times. Furthermore, it is intended to assign window-specific authorizations for manual opening and closing from the control center in order to likewise guarantee maximum security against break-ins.

The control structure of the vertical sliding window 1 according to the invention is particularly important for the above-mentioned system for building security. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, each window 1 initially forms a self-sufficient unit which is, by itself, fully functional and has a user interface. In order to be able to form a “network” from a multiplicity of windows 1, each window 1 here additionally has a control interface which enables the exchange of control information between the individual windows 1 and the control center. Furthermore, client-server concepts should be feasible that also enable control-relevant information to be exchanged between the individual windows 1.

A further preferred system exists for building security systems in which a plurality of windows are arranged directly next to one another Embodiment of the vertical sliding window according to the invention in that all adjacent windows are actuated by a single actuator via a drive shaft running across the entire width of all windows.

Finally, it should be pointed out that all embodiments of the teaching of the invention can also be designed as windows with a special protective effect. These protective effects have already been explained at the beginning. Against this background, the window panes 6, 4 bordered by the outer frame 2 and the window sash 3 can, according to the preferred teaching of the invention, be designed with two layers or with a high glass thickness, so that the desired protective effects are ensured.
