Description

Modular drive device

The present invention relates to a modular drive device for electric motor opening and closing and / or electromotive locking and unlocking a window, a door or the like. The door can also be a French window. In principle, the modular drive device for windows or doors of all kinds, whether with window or opaque, be suitable, especially if they have a wing which is movably mounted on a frame and adjustable by means of a fitting system bar, so that the modular drive device to an electromotive Ver position of the fitting system can be used. For example, it can also be a simple flap.

A window or a door usually has a mounted in a wall frame and a by means of a fitting system on the frame be movably mounted wings. In this case, the wing from a closed position in which it rests in particular with a sash on the frame, are moved to an open position and back, with different geöff designated positions may be possible and by the fitting system various ne movement types can be made possible. The wing can by the loading impact system, for example, about a particular vertical axis of rotation drehöf fenbar to kippöffenbar tiltable or tiltable, in particular a horizontal tilting axis, or parallel but adjustable and optionally then be moved parallel bar. In addition, other types of movement as well as combinations (for example, rotatable and tiltable window) and overlays of said Be types of movement are possible.

The fitting system is typically also adjustable, in particular between a locking state in which the fitting system vorzugswei se the wing locked in its closed position, so that the wing is not in a another position can be moved, and a unlocking state in which the wing can be moved between different positions. For this purpose, the fitting system, for example, have locking pins which are arranged on a gelrahmen in the fold between the sash and the frame slidably on the wing provided drive rod and depending on Schiebestel ment of the drive rod engage in a respective provided on the frame closing part. The actuation of the drive rod is usually carried out via a window handle provided on the wing, the rotation of a gear of the loading impact system is derived to a displacement of the drive rod.

For example, to be able to ventilate rooms independently of users or to automate and / or remotely open and close or lock and unlock windows and doors, for example, if they are not or only poorly accessible for manual actuation, it may be advantageous To watch a particular special electric motor drive device on the window or the door in front. Such a drive device may, for example, be arranged on the Blendrah men and have a pressure-resistant chain, the on and Ausfahr bar and is connected to the wing, so that the wing can be opened or closed over the chain. In this case, the force acting on the wing gravity can be used to hold the wing depending on how far the chain is extended, in a respective position relative to the frame. In principle, however, the drive device can also interact directly with a ver adjustable hardware system, so that the window or door can be opened, closed, locked and / or unlocked by the electromotive adjustment.

Drive devices for the electromotive opening and closing and / or electromotive locking and unlocking a window, a door or the like are usually not seen on the window or the door from the outset or integrated into this, but are typically retrospectively da- ran attached. In this case, there is for the attachment of the drive device to the window or door basically on the one hand the possibility to enforce them from the outside on the frame or the wing, in particular on the sash, on the other hand, the possibility of completely concealed within the frame or of the wing, in particular the sash, to install. The window or door is usually not already prepared specifically for the brin to a drive device, so that a hidden installation of the drive device usually means a strong interference with the structure of the blend frame or the sash. However, the Antriebsvorrich device is taken on a patch assembly of many users as foreign body wahrge. It is therefore usually desirable that the drive device is arranged AS POSSIBLE completely hidden.

However, a covert assembly of the drive device has the particular disadvantage that for the drive device a receptacle must be provided in the frame or the sash, which is formed in particular by milling in the respective frame and due to the typi's dimensions of the drive device typically up in the relevant for the thermal insulation so-called isotherm area in the middle between tween the outside and the inside of the respective frame extends.

This will affect the thermal insulation of the window or door. Also provided especially for higher quality windows or doors and the thermal separation supporting center seal, which is arranged in addition to the übli chen outer and inner seals in the middle of the folding area between the sash and the frame to prevent air passage with the sash closed, can Reception completely or at least partially soft, if a drive device to be retrofitted to such a window or door. In addition, the milling of the recording can lead to a significant mitigation of the profile static of the frame or the sash, as example, especially in aluminum profiles, the connection between the plastic webs for thermal separation and the inner and outer profile shells is interrupted. In particular, if, for example, for adjusting particularly large windows or doors, several drive devices are to be integrated into a respective window or door, the profile static of the respective frame can be affected excessively by the milling of the necessary recordings. Even if, for example, for a particularly large adjustment chain drives with large chain lengths to be mounted completely hidden, especially large recording must be provided, which can intervene in the heat insulation and the stability of the respective frame.

Another difficulty in the assembly of electric motor Antriebsvorrichtun conditions on windows or doors results from the fact that different windows or doors with respect to their profile contours, groove positions, dimensions of the profile grooves, air spaces in the rebate and the structure and dimensions of given if provided center seals can be designed differently, so that for different windows or doors usually different Antriebsvor directions must be provided.

Further, drive devices for electromotive opening and closing Shen and / or electromotive locking and unlocking a window or a door are usually each manufactured and sold as a single closed unit, in which a motor, a transmission and electronics for controlling the motor and one or more actuators (Eg, a chain) summarized to transmit a drive torque of the motor on the wing or other parts of the window or the door and are surrounded by a common housing to give. For example, on a particularly heavy window or on several Reren windows that always open together or at least coordinated open and ge closed and / or locked and unlocked, several Antriebsvor devices are provided, the respective motor controls the ver different drive devices must be synchronized in a special way, as no single control electronics provided for all drive devices which can directly address the motors of the various drive devices.

A design of the drive device as a closed unit also has the further disadvantage that in the case of a defect, individual components can not be replaced a fold, but usually the entire Antriebsvor device has to be brought to repair or replaced.

It is an object of the invention to provide a drive device for elektromotori rule opening and closing and / or electromotive locking and Entrie rules of a window, a door or the like, a method for mounting such a drive device and a window or door with such a drive device to provide in which the frame and / or the wing frame is affected by the drive device as little as possible and allow a simplified repair and a simplified replacement of individual compo nents and avoid the disadvantages of the prior art ver.

The object is achieved by a modular drive device with the Wish paint of claim 1, by a method for mounting the modular drive device to the features of claim 11 and by a window or door with the modular drive device with the features of claim 13. An. Advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the Unteransprü Chen, the present description and the figures.

An essential feature of the drive device according to the invention is that it is modular, i. that it comprises a plurality of units, which are in principle formed separately from each other, in particular spatially clearly separated from each other, e.g. Have separate housing, and in particular individually, al as about one after the other, on the respective window or on the respective door can be mounted or dismounted. In this case, although a certain order can be predetermined, so that first a specific unit must be mounted before another unit can be mounted. The modular design, however, avoids that inevitably all units must be assembled or disassembled together as a single closed unit.

As basically independent units, the modular drive device comprises at least: an actuator comprising an actuator and an actuator housing, in which the actuator is mounted, and which is adapted to receive a drive torque and the actuator to open or close and / or to deduce to lock or unlock the window or the door; and a transmission unit comprising an engine, a transmission and a transmission housing, in which the engine and the transmission are accommodated, in particular encapsulated, wherein on the transmission, an output member is seen before, which is adapted to drive gekop pelt with the actuator gekop to be to transfer a drive torque of the engine via the transmission to the actuator.

The gear unit and the actuator are advantageously separated voneinan formed and each have their own housing. In particular, the gear unit is designed, regardless of the setting unit, preferably from the fold of the window or the door, in a peripheral profile chamber of the Frame, preferably an inner side profile chamber of the frame, the window or the door to be arranged and fixed, whereas the adjusting unit is designed to be arranged outside this profile chamber and be strengthened. Preferably, the adjusting unit is adapted to rule in the fold between the frame and the sash of the window or door is arranged and fixed, so that both the gear unit and the actuator are arranged completely hidden at least with the sash closed.

In contrast to conventional drive devices are in the fiction, contemporary modular drive device of the engine and the transmission and the area for storage acting as an actuator chain thus not immediacy bar arranged next to each other so that they together form a Runaway existing elongated structure, parallel to the course the fold is angeord net. Rather, in the modular drive device according to the invention, the engine and the transmission are se separate from the housing provided in a separate actuator with its own Stellgliedge actuator provided as a transmission unit with separate se, wherein the transmission unit and the actuator can be arranged at different locations and preference, to are designed to be layered rather than arranged along a common longitudinal axis.

Preferably, said profile chamber is present within the respective frame as a cavity in the profile structure of the frame anyway. However, such a profile chamber usually has no access from the outside, so that, under certain circumstances, a passage into the profile chamber, in particular from the fold, still has to be formed, in particular milled out. The said pro filkammer is so far edge side, as they, preferably directly, on a (typically facing an interior) inside or one (typi cally facing away from the interior) outside of the frame or of the casement is arranged relative to the mounting position of the window or the door. In particular, the profile chamber can be arranged on the inside of the frame or the outside of the sash frame, wherein it is preferably located on the inside of the frame, is applied to the usually in the closed state in the wing. In particular, the profile chamber can be arranged between the respective edge side of the respective frame and an isothermal region and / or a middle seal of the respective frame, so that the isotherm region and / or the center seal can be fixed by fastening the transmission unit in the profile chamber are affected as little as by the attachment of the actuator in the fold.

The fact that the gear unit and the setting unit are formed in the manner mentioned preferably does not mean that the gear unit can basically only be arranged in the profile chamber of the respective frame and that the setting unit can only be arranged basically outside the profile chamber, but in particular that the gear unit and the actuator are formed in spe cific way for such an arrangement, eg with respect to the gear unit, in particular on the gear housing, or at the Stellein unit, in particular on the actuator housing, provided fasteners or mounting structures. In this case, the gear unit and the adjusting unit are designed to be drive-actively coupled with each other despite the arrangement of the gear unit in the profile chamber and the arrangement of the actuator outside the profile chamber across the boundary of the profile chamber, so that the actuator of the actuator driven by the engine of the gear unit that can. The attachment of the gear unit and / or the adjusting unit to the respective frame can be done for example by means of screws, nuts or other lever or clamping mechanisms that produce at least a non-positive connection and in particular without tools or with le diglich simple tool, such as a screwdriver used can be. The engine and the transmission are received in the transmission housing, in particular special encapsulated. In other words, the gear housing surrounds the Mo tor and the transmission at least almost completely, wherein the transmission housing may have openings, in particular at least one opening through which extends the driven element or through which the output selement is at least accessible, thus a drive torque from the engine to outside the gear unit to the actuator can be transferred. The inclusion, in particular an encapsulation of the engine and the transmission in the transmission housing not only protects the engine and the gear from pollution Ver, but also supports the modular design of Antriebsvor direction. Thus, the gear unit, preferably on the gear housing, regardless of other units of the drive device and in particular without accessories such as special mounting hardware to the window or door are attached.

The gear unit is in particular insofar independent of the setting unit and optionally provided by a motor for driving the motor unit in the profile chamber can be arranged and fastened as the gear unit can be arranged and fixed in the profile chamber, without thereby also equal to the setting unit and / or if necessary, the electronic unit to be arranged. In other words, the gear unit and the Stellein unit and optionally the electronics unit can be arranged separately from each other nachei nander and secured.

The engine of the transmission unit may in particular be an electric motor. The motor serves to generate a drive torque, which is then set by the transmission in terms of its speed or its torque and can be output via the output element. About the actuator, the drive torque then in particular ultimately on the wing of the respective window or door. The actuator may be, for example, a shaft or a push or pull rod. Preference, it is the actuator to a, in particular pressure-resistant, chain.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the setting unit is designed to be tool-less drive-effectively coupled to the gear unit and preferably also to be decoupled without tools from the gear unit can. In this case, said coupling preferably causes a reliable frictional connection between the output element of the gear unit and the actuator or an actuator driving element of the actuator. The tool-less coupling can be made for example by simply plugging the Stellein unit on the output element of the gear unit. By coupling the gear unit and the actuator can also be set relative to each other with respect to their order. Preferably, however, the Getriebeein unit and / or the actuator are each at least attached to the respective frame.

According to a preferred embodiment, the actuating unit is designed as a chain unit, the actuator as a chain for transmitting a pulling and / or pushing movement of the modular drive device on the wing of the Fens age or door, as an actuator housing a chain case in which the chain gela siege and a chain sprocket cooperating with the chain. The chain housing is used in particular to accommodate the chain almost completely, at least in a maximum retracted state. Powered by the sprocket, the chain but can be extended out of the chain case or retracted at closing in the chain housing again. In this case, preference is also the sprocket at least for the most part arranged within the chain housing on which it can also be rotatably mounted. In such an embodiment, the output member of the transmission of the gear unit and the sprocket of the chain unit may further be configured to be coupled to each other in the relative arrangement of the chain unit and the gear unit to each other by attaching the sprocket to the output member. In this way, advantageously a tool-free frictional coupling of the sprocket with the Abtriebsele element of the transmission can be achieved. For example, the output element may be formed as a shaft which can be inserted into a hub of the sprocket and there, for example, engages. A rotationally effective coupling between the Wel le and the hub can be achieved for example by complementary, ro tationsasymmetrische cross sections of the shaft and the hub. The shaft does not necessarily need to be axially fixed to the sprocket to who, since the drive element by the respective attachment of the gear unit and the actuator to the respective frame relative to the sprocket can already be sufficiently fixed axially.

According to a further advantageous embodiment, the setting unit has a longitudinal shape and extends in the direction of a longitudinal axis. In particular, the actuating unit has its greatest extent at least substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis. For example, the adjusting unit may have a cuboidal shape, at least substantially, with the longitudinal axis then being aligned parallel to one of the axes of the cuboidal shape. In this case, the setting unit is preferably designed to be arranged in the fold of the window or the door, that the longitudinal axis is aligned at least substantially parallel to the course of the fold. In this way, the control unit, the United in equal to a conventional, designed as a single unit Antriebsvorrich tion requires less space, advantageously in the fold, so in the free space between the casement of the closed wing and the blend frame, install, without that additional space would have to be created by milling out, for example. Basically, it is advantageous that the gear unit and the actuator, in particular the gear housing and the actuator housing, spaced from each other due to the modu lar structure of the drive device arranged who can, the distance substantially only by the Abtriebsele element or a coupled element of the Actuator is bridged. In this case, the actuating unit and the gear unit with respect to the above-mentioned ge longitudinal axis may be formed transversely to the longitudinal axis of the actuator and / or transversely to the course of the fold offset from each other, in particular transversely to the longitudinal axis of the actuator and / or transversely to the course of the fold spaced from each other, to be attached to the respective frame. In this way, the transmission unit and the actuator can be arranged in a more flexible manner than in a trained as a single closed unit drive device, insbesonde re with a lateral offset and / or a vertical offset and thus conditions gen, to the respective frame. This ei ne simpler integration of the modular drive device is achieved in the limited space.

According to a further advantageous embodiment, the modular drive device further comprises an electronic unit for controlling the motor of the Ge gear unit, which is designed so on the gear unit or on the actuator or independent of the gear unit and the actuator to the respective frame, in particular solvable, be attached so that it is inde pendent of the gear unit and / or the actuator replaceable. The elec tronic unit can thus represent next to the gear unit and the actuator another modular unit of the modular drive device, which can be separately mounted and disassembled from the rest of the drive device and, if necessary, exchanged. The electronic unit may, for example, a board with appropriate electronics, in particular, for example, include a microcontroller. In this case, the Elek tronikeinheit also include an electronics housing, in which the Elektronikkompo components of the electronics unit taken and protected, in particular encapsulated, are. However, this is not absolutely necessary if the electronics can be arranged sufficiently robust on a circuit board, for example. If the electronics are not designed to be fastened to the gear unit or to the control unit, eg simply plugged in, the electronic unit can in this way only be connected indirectly to the respective frame of the window or the door, so that the frame for the attachment of the electronic unit is not adversely affected before geous enough. The attachment of the electronics unit but can also be done independently of the gear unit and the actuator directly to the respective frame, so that the electronics unit can be particularly freely positioned on the ever Weil most suitable point.

Preferably, the electrical connection between the electronic unit and the gear unit, in particular without tools or other aids, by simply plugging together in the manner of a plug and a socket he goes. For example, the electronic unit may be designed to be attached to the transmission unit by being directly attached to the gear unit, wherein in addition to the mechanical connection advantageously also an electrical connection of the electronic unit and the gear unit is produced by the provided attachment structures on the gear unit and the electronics unit , But it can also be provided other electrical connections to the electronics unit and the transmission unit, which are preferably arranged such that they nikeinheit in the attachment of the electric nikeinheit on the gear unit in contact, so that the electrical connection automatically in the attachment of the electronic unit will be produced. Alternatively or additionally, the electronics unit and the also be designed to be electrically connected to each other via cables and optionally provided thereon plugs or sockets.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the modular Antriebsvorrich device comprises one or more gear units and a corresponding number of actuators, wherein the electronic unit is adapted to be electrically connected to the one or more gear units via a respective connector. Due to the modular design is thus unnecessary in particular special synchronization of the electronics of several parallel and / or coordi ned to drive conventional drive devices. For a single electronic unit can be used to control a plurality of transmission units, which in turn are each drive-coupled with an actuator. For this purpose, the electronic unit, even if it is fastened to one of the gear units be, e.g. via cable with plugs, with several gear units simultane- ously electrically connected. In this way, the modular Antriebsvor device comparatively easy to a multi-engine system expands who the.

Furthermore, the modular drive device may further comprise an operating unit, which is designed to be electrically connected to the electronic unit and to receive inputs from a user in order to transmit them to the electronic unit, and optionally also to be triggered by the electronic unit for this purpose, in particular optical, output signals. The operating unit is then another fundamentally independent module unit of modula ren drive device that can be exchanged separately or only optionally provided. Preferably, the control unit, insbesonde re tool-free, with the electronic unit and / or the transmission unit, such as a plug connection, electrically connect. In this case, the operating unit can advantageously at least largely independent of the position of the transmission unit. unit and be positioned so that it can be flexibly provided where it is particularly accessible to a user.

The inventive method comprises as a method steps: the introduction, in particular milling, a passage from the rebate of the window or the door to an existing edge frame profile chamber in the frame, preferably, in the frame existing inside profile chamber, if not yet for inserting the gear unit in the profile chamber suitable passage is present; inserting the gear unit into the profile chamber and securing the gear unit in the profile chamber; attaching the actuator outside the profile chamber in the fold; and optionally the fastening conditions of an electronic unit to the gear unit, to the actuator or to the frame. In this case, these steps are preferably carried out in succession, in particular at least partially in the order named. In addition, the ge called steps are carried out according to the invention such that the modular drive device is completely covered ver with the window closed or door closed.

The gear unit and the setting unit can in each case be fastened in particular by means of screws, sliding blocks or other lever or clamping mechanisms which produce an at least non-positive connection and in particular special tool-free or with only a simple tool, such. a screwdriver can be used. In this case, for the attachment of the gear unit advantageously suitable structures of the profile chamber and for the attachment of the actuator advantageously the profile of the fold can be used, for. by a respective fastening means on a structure of the profile chamber or in the profile of the fold, in particular non-positively engages.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the method, the Profilkam mer, in which the gear unit is used, selected in such a way and the Passed passage to the profile chamber, if appropriate, that the passage neither a central seal of the respective frame nor a thermal-separating layer of the respective frame cuts, so the middle seal or the separating layer in particular does not cross or separate or impaired in any other way with respect to their respective function. Furthermore, the ge called passage preferably extends through no further profile chamber of the respective frame, so that the statics of the frame is impaired as little as possible.

The window according to the invention or the door according to the invention comprises an inven tion proper modular drive device, in particular a modular drive device on according to one of the embodiments described above. In this case, the gear unit in an edge profile chamber of Rah mens, preferably an inside profile chamber of the frame, is arranged and fixed, while the actuator is arranged outside the profile chamber in the fold and fixed and through a passage from the fold to the profile chamber through the output member is drivingly coupled to the transmission of the transmission unit. According to an advantageous embodiment, there is provided in that the modular drive device is arranged such that it is completely covered when the window or door closed, so that it does not appear to the outside in appearance and therefore can not be perceived as disturbing.

In addition, it is advantageous according to a further advantageous embodiment, when the gear unit and the actuator relative to the course of the fold offset from each other, in particular spaced from each other, are arranged, as in this way no coherent space for the entire Antriebsvor direction in or on the respective frame available be or must be formed, but the individual units of the drive device in several small re, in particular already existing open spaces, such as the mentioned profile chamber and the folding area, can be arranged in or on the respective frame. The advantages mentioned for the modular drive device according to the invention further advantages result in a corresponding manner also for the ge called embodiments of a window or a door, which have such a modu lare drive device.

The invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the figures.

Fig. 1 shows in a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the invention

According to the invention modular drive device in a mounted on a window or a door state or an embodiment form of the window according to the invention or the door according to the invention.

Fig. 2 shows one of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 corresponding Ausfüh tion form in a perspective view.

In Figs. 1 and 2, a modular drive device 1 1 is shown in each case in cross-section, which is fastened to the frame 13 of a window or a window door and coupled to the sash 15 of the window or the French window to the wing of the window or the French window opposite the frame 13 can be adjusted by electric motor. Both the stationary mounting in a wall formed frame 13 and the disc holder 17 for supporting a window pane and movably mounted on the frame frame 13 mounted sash 15 are formed as profile structures extending with the illustrated cross section in a longitudinal direction, in Fig. 1 is aligned perpendicular to the plane of representation. As a material, the frame 13 and the sash 15 in particular aluminum. there For example, the profile is formed in each case by two profile shells made of aluminum, which are connected in the middle of the profile by plastic webs.

The area between the frame 13 and the sash 15 (in its closed position, which is shown in the figures) forms the so-called fold 19 which is parallel to the profiles of the frame 13 and the sash 15 perpendicular to the plane of Fig. 1. In order to avoid an air passage and thus a heat transfer through the fold 19 as much as possible, 15 seals are provided between the frame 13 and the sash, with an outer seal and an inner seal on egg ner outside seal seat 21 and an inside Dichtungsauf measure 23 are arranged can. In the figures, these seals are ever but not shown. In a central region between the outside and the inside of the frame 13 and the sash 15, a center seal 25 is provided, which contributes significantly to the reliable sealing of the Fens age or the French window. Said central region also constitutes an isothermal region of the window or the French door, which, especially by its material and its structure, is specially designed to reduce the heat transfer between the outside and the inside of the window or the French window.

The profiles of the frame 13 and the sash 15 have numerous cavities. Some of these cavities form profile chambers. In particular, the frame 13 has an inside profile chamber 27, which is arranged between the isotherm region and the inside of the window or the French window. Preferably, the inside profile chamber 27, as in the illustrated embodiment, laterally adjoins the inner side of the blind frame 13 directly and in the direction of the wing directly against the fold. The nenseitige profile chamber 27 is connected via a, in particular formed by milling, passage 29 with the fold 19. The modular drive device 1 1 comprises a transmission unit 31 with an electric motor and a transmission, which are encapsulated in a transmission housing 33 and therefore, with the exception of an output element 35 of the transmission from the outside Shen are not visible. The gear housing 33 has an elongated shape, so that it has at least substantially the greatest extent in the direction of a longitudinal axis of its shape. The output member 35 is formed out of the output shaft and extends out of the gear housing 33, in particular perpen- dicular to said longitudinal axis. The gear unit 31 is disposed in the innenseiti gene profile chamber 27 and fixed there. In this case, the gear unit 31 is arranged such that the longitudinal axis of the gear housing 33 is directed parallel to the course of the fold 19, ie perpendicular to the plane of the Fig. 1, from. The output element 35 extends through the passage 29 through out of the profile chamber 27 out.

The modular drive device 1 1 further comprises an actuating unit 37, which is designed as a chain unit and as an actuator comprises a pressure-resistant chain. The chain and a chain sprocket cooperating with the chain are arranged in a chain housing forming an actuator housing 39 so that they are not visible from the outside Shen or only partially. The sprocket is formed as a pinion and engages in the chain so that the chain can be extended by turning the chain wheel from the actuator housing 39 and retracted.

One end 41 of the chain, which protrudes from the actuator housing 39, is ausgebil det, with the sash 15, for example, a fastened to the sash frame 15 th connecting element to be connected, so that by retracting or extending the chain, the position of Wing can be changed.

The actuator 37 is in the fold 19 between the frame 13 and the wing frame 15 and fixed to the frame 13. In this case, the setting unit 37 is in the vicinity of the passage 29 to the inside profile chamber 27, but is located completely outside the profile chamber. In particular, the setting unit 37 adjoins the passage 29 at least substantially directly. The sprocket of the actuator 37 is drivingly coupled to the output member 35 of the transmission unit 31 for common rotation, namely in the present embodiment in that the sprocket at Anord NEN of the actuator 37 was plugged in the fold 19 with the sprocket on the output member 35. The actuator 37 is also on the actuator housing 39 on the frame 13, in particular in or on a groove or rail 43 of the frame 13, which extends along the fold 19 and preferably adjacent to the inside profile chamber 27, attached, for example by Nutenstei ne or the like ,

The modular drive device 1 1 further comprises an electronic unit 45 (see.

Fig. 2) for driving the motor of the transmission unit 31, the unit 31 is releasably attached to the gearbox, whereby both a mechanical and an electrical connection between the electronic unit 45 and the transmission unit 31 is made. In this way, the electronic unit 45 is attached via the transmission unit 31 only indirectly to the frame 13 and can be replaced independently of the transmission unit 31 in a simple manner.

By the drive-effective coupling of arranged in the inside profile chamber 27 gear unit 31 with the outside of the profile chamber 27 in the fold 19 arranged actuator 31 by erstre by the passage 29 extending output element 35, a drive torque of the engine of the transmission unit 31 formed on the chain as a chain Actuator and thus ultimately transferred to the wing gel. Thus, the modular drive device 1 1 perform their function to drive, but has the advantage over a non-modular Antriebsvor direction that the individual units 31, 37, 45 advantageously in each case available space can be distributed, especially without the area of thermal separation and the center seal 25 are affected by the drive device 1 1. Since the individual units 31, 37, 45 may be comparatively compact in their own right, the modular drive device 1 1 may be suitable for concealed installation on a wide variety of profiles without significant interference with the statics or thermal insulation of the respective window or the respective window door.
