Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schwingtürantrieb für Fahrzeuge, insbesondere für Schienenfahrzeuge, bestehend aus einem oberen Schwingarm, einem unteren Schwingarm, einem Führungsarm, mittels denen ein Türflügel bewegt und geführt wird, einer die Schwingarme in eine Drehbewegung versetzende Drehwelle und einem die Drehwelle antreibenden Motor.The invention relates to a swing door drive for vehicles, in particular for rail vehicles, consisting of an upper swing arm, a lower swing arm, a guide arm, by means of which a door leaf is moved and guided, a rotary shaft which sets the swing arms into a rotary movement and a motor which drives the rotary shaft.

Aus der Offenlegungsschrift EP-A-0047619 ist ein Schwingtürantrieb bekannt, bei dem der Türflügel von einem oberen und einem unteren Schwingarm bewegt und von einem Führungsarm während dem Oeffnungs- und Schliessvorgang geführt wird. Die Schwingarme sind einenends an den Türflügel und anderenends an eine von einer vertikalen Drehwelle angetriebene Drehkurbel angelenkt. Der Führungsarm ist gelenkig mit dem Türflügel und mit der Fahrzeugkarosserie verbunden. An dem der Drehwelle gegenüberliegenden Ende der Drehkurbel ist ein mit einem Langschlitz versehener Hebelarm angelenkt. Ein in den Langschlitz eingreifender, mit der Fahrzeugkarosserie fest verbundener Zapfen führt während der Drehbewegung der Drehkurbel den Hebelarm. Mit der Hebelarm/Drehkurbel-Anordnung wird erreicht, dass sich der Schwingarm um den als Drehpunkt wirkenden Zapfen dreht und dabei den Türflügel abhängig vom Führungsarm auf einer bestimmten Bahn bewegt.From the published patent application EP-A-0047619 a swing door drive is known in which the door leaf is moved by an upper and a lower swing arm and is guided by a guide arm during the opening and closing process. The swing arms are hinged at one end to the door leaf and at the other end to a rotating crank driven by a vertical rotating shaft. The guide arm is articulated to the door wing and to the vehicle body. A lever arm provided with an elongated slot is articulated on the end of the crank handle opposite the rotating shaft. A pin engaging in the long slot and firmly connected to the vehicle body guides the lever arm during the rotary movement of the crank handle. With the lever arm / rotary crank arrangement it is achieved that the swing arm rotates around the pin acting as a pivot point and thereby moves the door leaf depending on the guide arm on a certain path.

Die Nachteile dieser bekannten Einrichtung liegen darin, dass für die Schwingbewegung des Türflügels ein grosser mechanischer Aufwand nötig ist und dass die Anordnung der Drehwelle durch die Abmessungen der Schwingarme und der Hebelarm/Drehkurbel-Anordnung vorherbestimmt wird.The disadvantages of this known device are that a great mechanical effort is required for the swinging movement of the door leaf and that the arrangement of the rotating shaft is predetermined by the dimensions of the swinging arms and the lever arm / rotating crank arrangement.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, löst die Aufgabe, einen Schwingtürantrieb zu schaffen, bei dem die Drehwelle unabhängig von den Schwingarmen angeordnet ist.The invention seeks to remedy this. The invention as characterized in the claims solves the problem to create a swing door drive in which the rotary shaft is arranged independently of the swing arms.

Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind im wesentlichen darin zu sehen, dass die Drehwelle keine für Passagiere gefährliche Teile aufweist und dass die Drehwelle im Ein-/Ausgangsbereich des Fahrzeuges beliebig angeordnet werden kann.The advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that the rotary shaft has no parts which are dangerous for passengers and that the rotary shaft can be arranged as desired in the input / output area of the vehicle.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Grundriss eines erfindungsgemässen Schwingtürantriebes mit einem Türflügel in der Schliesslage, während der Schwingbewegung und in der Oeffnungslage und
  • Fig. 2 eine Querschnittsansicht des Schwingtürantriebes gemäss Fig. 1 mit dem Türflügel in der Schliesslage.
The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of drawings which illustrate only one embodiment. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of a swing door drive according to the invention with a door leaf in the closed position, during the swinging movement and in the open position and
  • Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the swing door drive according to FIG. 1 with the door leaf in the closed position.

In den Fig. 1 und 2 ist mit 1 ein über Stufen 2 und durch eine Schwingtür 3 erreichbares Passagierdeck bezeichnet. Ein in eine Fahrzeugkarosserie 4 eingelassener Türrahmen 5 und ein Türflügel 6 bilden die Schwingtür 3. Ein oberer Schwingarm 7, ein unterer Schwingarm 8 und ein Führungsarm 9 sind am Türflügel 6 angelenkt. Der Türflügel 6 wird von den ausserhalb des Passagierraumes angeordneten Schwingarmen 7;8 getragen und bewegt und vom ausserhalb des Passagierraumes angeordneten Führungsarm 9 parallel zur Fahrzeugwand geführt. Eine mit 10 bezeichnete, oben und unten ausserhalb des Passagierraumes gelagerte, vertikale Drehwelle wird von einem Motor 11 beim Oeffnungs-/Schliessvorgang in einen Links-/Rechtslauf versetzt. Die Drehwellenbewegung wird am oberen Ende der vertikalen Drehwelle 10 über einen oberen Zahnriemen 12 auf den um eine zweiseitig gelagerte, ausserhalb des Passagierraumes angeordnete obere Achse 13 drehbar gelagerten oberen Schwingarm 7 und am unteren Ende der vertikalen Drehwelle 10 über einen unteren Zahnriemen 14 auf den um eine zweiseitig gelagerte, ausserhalb des Passagierraumes angeordnete untere Achse 15 drehbar gelagerten unteren Schwingarm 8 übertragen.
