Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schiebetor, insbesondere Schiebetor-Sockelbalken mit einem auf diesem befestigten Toraufbau wählbarer Ausgestaltung, das in Verschieberichtung hin- und hergehend bewegbar mittels eines ortsfest angeordneten Antriebsmotoraggregates geführt ist, welches ein Abtriebsritzel aufweist, das in eine an dem Torblatt bzw. Sockelbalken festgelegte Zahnstangenausbildung kämmend eingreift, wobei die Zahnstangenausbildung aus einer Reihe von aufeinanderfolgend in eine in Verschieberichtung des Torblattes verlaufende, an diesem festgelegte Halteschiene eingesetzten Zahnstangensegmenten zusammengesetzt ist, die als Fertiggußteile hergestellt und in ihrer zahnteilungsgerechten Aufeinanderfolge untereinander fixiert sind; solche Tore sind in der älteren, nicht vorveröffentlichten EP-A-O 558 973 beschrieben, die jedoch hinsichtlich baulicher Anpaßbarkeit und stoßbedingter Verschleißerscheinungen Nachteile aufweisen.The invention relates to a sliding gate, in particular a sliding gate plinth with a selectable design attached to this door structure, which is in the direction of displacement movable back and forth by means of a stationary arrangement Drive motor unit is guided, which has an output pinion, the in a rack design fixed to the door leaf or plinth beam meshing engages, the rack formation from a series of consecutive in a direction in which the door leaf moves this fixed support rail used rack segments assembled is that manufactured as finished castings and in their tooth pitch Sequence are fixed among themselves; such gates are in the older one, not previously published EP-A-0 558 973 described, but with regard to structural adaptability and impact-related wear and tear disadvantages exhibit.

Schiebetore der hier in Rede stehenden Art können über bodenseitige Schienen abrollend geführt und abgestützt sein, sie können aber auch über Führungsrollenböcke die sich nur über einen Bruchteil der Torblattlänge erstrecken, insoweit nach Art einer Schiebeschranke frei von Bodenberührung in die Schließstellung und zurück bewegt werden. In jedem Falle sind bei den Toren der hier in Rede stehenden Art die jeweiligen Antriebe ortsfest angeordnet und mit einem Abtriebsritzel versehen, das in eine sich über die Länge des Torblattes in Verschieberichtung (gut die Breite der zu verschließenden Toröffnung) bzw. zumindest den jeweils ausgenutzten Verschiebeweg erstreckende Verzahnungsausbildung kämmend eingreift. Es sind auch vergleichbar aufgebaute Reibantriebe bekannt, bei denen jedoch das Abtriebsreibrad des Antriebsmotoraggregates gegen eine entsprechende, schienenförmige Reibschiene druckbelastet anliegen muß und aufgrund möglichen Schlupfes eine Simulierung der Verschiebestrecke im Rahmen des Antriebsaggregates Probleme bereitet.Sliding gates of the type in question here can have rails on the bottom be guided and supported in a rolling manner, but they can also be provided via guide roller stands which only extend over a fraction of the length of the door leaf in the manner of a sliding barrier free of ground contact in the closed position and be moved back. In in any case, the gates of the type in question are the respective ones Drives arranged in a fixed position and provided with an output pinion, that in a way over the length of the door leaf in the direction of displacement (well the width of the door opening to be closed) or at least the toothing formation extending in each case used displacement path intervening. There are also comparable ones Friction drives are known, but in which the driven friction wheel the drive motor unit against a corresponding, rail-shaped The friction rail must bear pressure and due to possible Slip a simulation of the shift distance in the frame of the drive unit Problems.

Es ist bekannt - DE-A-15 59 961 - das Abtriebsritzel in eine metallene, sich über die Verschiebestrecke hinweg erstreckende Zahnstange eingreifen zu lassen, deren Verzahnung durch Fräsen hergestellt wird und je nach verlangter Lebensdauer und Laufruhe einer zusätzlichen noch aufwendigeren Bearbeitung bedarf. Dabei machen sich Temperaturschwankungen über die Länge der Zahnstange hinweg für den Getriebeeingriff störend bemerkbar, unter den Witterungseinflüssen treten Rosterscheinungen und damit Verschleiß auf, so daß auch ein entsprechend erheblicher Wartungsaufwand erforderlich wird. Bei Verwendung eines Kettenstocktriebes treten ähnliche Nachteile auf, weil der dort vorgesehene Eingriff zwischen treibendem und getriebenem Teil von vorne herein wenig genau und abrollfreundlich arbeitet, weshalb Geräuschentwicklung, Verschleiß und Rostgefahr bzw. Wartungsaufwand ähnlich zu beurteilen sind wie bei der vorstehend angesprochenen Zahnstange.It is known - DE-A-15 59 961 - the output pinion in a metal, rack extending over the displacement distance to intervene, the teeth of which are produced by milling and depending on the required service life and smoothness, an additional one still requires more elaborate processing. This causes temperature fluctuations over the length of the rack for gearbox engagement disturbingly noticeable, occur under the influence of weather Signs of rust and thus wear and tear, so that a corresponding considerable maintenance is required. Using A chain stick drive has similar disadvantages because of that intended engagement between driving and driven part of is not very accurate and easy to roll in front, which is why noise, Wear and risk of rust or maintenance are to be assessed similarly to the one mentioned above Rack.

Es ist weiterhin bekannt - DE-U-84 00 934.9 -, anstelle einer gefrästen Zahnstange einen sich in Verschieberichtung des Torblattes unter Vorspannung erstreckenden Zahnriemen vorzusehen, dessen Verformbarkeit es erlaubt, in einem großen Umschlingungswinkelbereich um das in dessen Verzahnung eingreifende Abtriebsritzel des Antriebsmotoraggregates herumgeführt zu werden. Ein solcher insoweit freigespannter Zahnriemen muß in sich selbst erhebliche Zugspannungen aufnehmen können und bereitet hinsichtlich seiner Führung gewisse Probleme. Darüber hinaus ist aufgrund des angestrebten hohen Umschlingungswinkel eine fortlaufende Verformungsarbeit an dem Zahnriemen zu leisten. Diese könnte man durch eine aus Kunststoff gefertigte Zahnstange umgehen, die dann allerdings als fester Gegenstand in Anlehnung an die bekannten Vorstellungen wiederum als bearbeitungsintensives Bauteil herzustellen wäre.It is also known - DE-U-84 00 934.9 - instead of a milled one Rack under in the direction of displacement of the door leaf To provide pre-tensioning toothed belt, its deformability it allows around in a wide wrap angle range the output pinion of the drive motor unit engaging in its toothing to be led around. Such a freer so far Toothed belt must have considerable tensile stress in itself can record and prepares certain with regard to his leadership Problems. In addition, due to the desired high wrap angle a continuous deformation work on the toothed belt afford to. This could be done using a plastic one Bypass rack, which then, however, as a solid object in Based on the well-known ideas again as processing-intensive Component would be manufactured.

Der vorgeschilderte Stand der Technik leidet darüber hinaus an dem besonderen Nachteil, daß die vom Antrieb aus auf die Zahnstange ausgeübten Kräfte unmittelbar, d.h. ungedämpft übertragen werden. Schiebetore der in Rede stehenden Art sind aber in aller Regel keine leichtgewichtigen Gegenstände sondern weisen eine hohe Trägheitsmasse auf, so daß im Zuge der starren Bewegungsübertragung erhebliche Stoßkräfte beim Anfahren auftreten, die den Antrieb belasten und vor allem auch erhebliche Materialbelastungen und -abnutzungen zur Folge haben.The described prior art also suffers from the particular disadvantage that those exerted on the rack from the drive Forces immediately, i.e. transmitted undamped. Sliding gates of the type in question are usually not lightweight objects but have a high inertial mass on, so that considerable in the course of rigid motion transmission Shock forces occur when starting, which strain the drive and above all, considerable material loads and wear and tear Have consequence.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Schiebetor der eingangs genannten Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, dessen torblattseitigen Zahnstangen-Antriebsausbildung an annähernd beliebige Torblattlängserstreckungen anpaßbar und -insbesondere in großen Stückzahlen gefertigt - billiger herstellbar sowie gegenüber stoßbedingten Verschleißerscheinungen geschützt ausgebildet ist.The invention has for its object a sliding gate at the beginning to provide the type mentioned, the door leaf-side rack and pinion training to almost any length of the door leaf adaptable and - especially manufactured in large quantities - cheaper to manufacture and less impact-related wear is protected.

Ausgehend von einem Schiebetor mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Zahnstangenausbildung in ihrer Gesamtheit in der Halteschiene in deren Längsrichtung verschiebbar geführt ist und daß die Zahnstangenausbildung in Längsrichtung der Halteschiene unter Zwischenanordnung elastisch nachgiebiger Puffer über Halteelemente ortsfest an der Halteschiene bzw. dem Schiebetor abgestützt ist.Starting from a sliding gate with the features mentioned above This object is achieved in that the Rack formation in its entirety in the holding rail in their Is guided in the longitudinal direction and that the rack design in the longitudinal direction of the holding rail with an intermediate arrangement elastically flexible buffer via holding elements at the Holding rail or the sliding gate is supported.

Zunächst wird durch die Maßnahmen, die Zahnstangenausbildung aus einer Reihe von aufeinanderfolgend in eine Schiene einzusetzenden Zahnstangensegmenten zusammenzusetzen, also aus verhältnismäßig geringen Längenabschnitten der gewünschten Zahnstange, so daß sich bereits aufgrund der Unterteilung eine Anpassungsmöglichkeit an unterschiedliche Torlängen ergibt, und weiterhin dadurch, daß die einzelnen Segmente dieser Zahnstangenausbildung jeweils als Gußteil, insbesondere Kunststoff-Spritzgußteil, hergestellt sind, erreicht man insgesamt den Vorteil, eine Zahnstange praktisch beliebiger Länge zur Verfügung stellen zu können, die insgesamt aufgrund ihrer Herstellung aus Gußteilen, die als Fertigteile keiner weiteren Bearbeitung bedürfen, billig zur Verfügung gestellt werden kann. Die Halteschiene, die vorzugsweise aus Metall auf der Basis von Aluminium als Strangguß- bzw. Strangpreßprofil ausgebildet ist, ist vorzugsweise einstückig über die Verschiebestrecke hinweg verlaufend ausgebildet und je nach Torblattlänge zuzuschneiden, wobei man die Endlänge auf die Summe der Längen der einzusetzenden Zahnstangensegmente abstimmen kann. Dann lassen sich Zahnstangen-Endsegmente einsetzen, die das Abstützen der Reihe aus Zahnstangensegmenten in Längsrichtung der Halteschiene an deren jeweiligen stirnseitigen Enden ermöglichen. Die Schiene selbst ist mit dem Torblatt bzw. dem Torblattsockel verschraubt.First of all, through the measures, the rack education a series of consecutively inserted in a rail To assemble rack segments, so from proportionate small lengths of the desired rack, so that Already due to the subdivision, an adjustment option to different ones Gate lengths results, and further in that the individual Segments of this rack design each as a casting, in particular Plastic injection molded parts are made, can be achieved overall the advantage of a rack of practically any length to be able to exhibit the total due to their manufacture Castings, which as finished parts do not require any further processing, are cheap can be made available. The holding rail, which is preferred made of metal on the basis of aluminum as a continuous casting or Extruded profile is formed, is preferably in one piece over the Sliding distance formed and depending on the length of the door leaf cut to size, taking the final length to the sum of the lengths can match the rack segments to be used. Then rack end segments can be used to support the the row of rack segments in the longitudinal direction of the holding rail enable at their respective front ends. The rail itself is screwed to the door leaf or the door leaf base.

Zur Verhinderung verschleißauslösender und antriebsbelastender Stoßbeanspruchungen ist die Zahnstangenausbildung erfindungsgemäß in Längsrichtung der Halteschiene in dieser verschiebbar gelagert und unter Zwischenschaltung von federelastischen Pufferelementen beidendig an der Halteschiene bzw. dem Schiebetorsockel abgestützt. Grundsätzlich könnte eine solche federelastische Pufferabstützung nur an einem stirnseitigen Ende der Zahnstangenausbildung vorgesehen sein, wenn entsprechende Antriebsverhältnisse vorliegen. Im Regelfalle wird man die Halteschienenausbildung an beiden ihrer stirnseitigen Enden mit federelastischen Pufferelementen abstützen, so daß sowohl beim Schließen als auch beim Öffnen des Tores Anfahrbelastungen entsprechend federelastisch gedämpft aufgenommen und damit Belastungen des Antriebes und Verschleiß der Bewegungsübertragungsteile entsprechend gemindert werden. Dadurch wird eine erheblich höhere Lebensdauer erreicht und ein schwächer ausgelegtes Antriebsaggregat ermöglicht.To prevent wear-causing and drive-loading impact loads is the rack design according to the invention in Longitudinal direction of the support rail slidably mounted in and under Interposition of elastic buffer elements on both ends supported on the support rail or the sliding gate base. Basically such a resilient buffer support could only be on one be provided at the front end of the rack formation if appropriate drive conditions are present. As a rule, you will the support rail formation on both of its front ends with spring-elastic Support buffer elements so that both Closing as well as when opening the gate start-up loads accordingly absorbed in a spring-elastic manner and thus loads of the drive and wear of the motion transmission parts accordingly be reduced. This will have a significantly longer lifespan reached and a weaker drive unit enables.

In besonders bevorzugter Ausführung bestehen die stirnseitig vorgesehenen federelastischen Puffer aus einem Kunststoff entsprechender Materialeigenschaft, insbesondere einem weichen Polyurethan. In äquivalenter Ausbildung können auch metallische Federelemente, bspw. Blattfedern, Schraubenfeder oder dgl. vorgesehen sein, auch eignen sich traditionelle Gummielemente.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the end faces provided corresponding elastic buffer made of a plastic Material property, especially a soft polyurethane. Equivalent Training can also metallic spring elements, for example. Leaf springs, coil spring or the like. Provided, are also suitable traditional rubber elements.

Die Zahnstangensegmente könnten grundsätzlich stumpfstoßend aufeinanderfolgend in ihrer Zuordnung durch die Festlegung der einzelnen oder zumindest der Endsegmente der Reihe von Zahnstangensegmenten gesichert sein, wobei unter stumpfstoßend auch eine schräge, pfeilförmige oder dergleichen Trennfuge zwischen den Elementen gemeint sein kann, auch eine solche, bei der die Zahnflankenausbildung im Übergangsbereich zwischen zwei benachbarten Segmenten zum Teil von dem einen und zum Teil von dem anderen Segment zur Verfügung gestellt wird, so daß also der Übergang einer Zahnflanke Zähneausbildungen im Nachbarbereich zweier aufeinanderfolgender Zahnstangensegmente umfaßt. In bevorzugter Ausführung wird jedoch zwischen zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Zahnstangensegmenten jeweils eine Eingreifausbildung vorgesehen, die aus einem an dem einen Segment ausgebildeten Steckerteil und einem an dem anderen Segment ausgebildeten Aufnahmeteil besteht, wobei die Ausbildung derart getroffen sein kann, daß das Steckerteil in eine entsprechende Aussparung des Aufnahmeteils aus der der Zähneausbildung abgewandten Richtung her senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der Segmente hin erfolgt, so daß sich eine formschlüssige, zug- und druckbelastbare Verbindung zwischen den Segmenten ergibt. Selbstverständlich könnte eine solche Verbindung auch durch Einstecken von einer anderen Richtung her, vorzugsweise aber grundsätzlich etwa senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der Zahnstangenausbildung erfolgend, vorgesehen sein.The rack segments could in principle butt butt consecutively in their assignment by defining the individual or at least the end segments of the row of rack segments be secured, with an oblique arrow-shaped or similar parting line between the elements can also be one in which the tooth flank formation in the Partial transition area between two adjacent segments available from one and partly from the other segment is set so that the transition of a tooth flank tooth formations in the neighboring area of two successive rack segments includes. In a preferred embodiment, however, between two consecutive rack segments each have an engagement training provided that a formed on the one segment Connector part and one on the other segment trained receiving part, the training can be taken such that the plug part in a corresponding Recess of the receiving part from the teeth training opposite direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the segments out so that there is a positive, tensile and compressive load Connection between the segments results. Of course it could such a connection also by plugging in from another direction forth, but preferably generally approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal direction the rack formation taking place.

In besonders bevorzugter Ausführung werden für eine sich über die Verschiebelänge des Schiebetores hinweg erstreckende Zahnstangenausbildung identisch übereinstimmend ausgeformte Zahnstangensegmente verwendet, deren jedes nur einen Bruchteil der Gesamtlänge umfaßt, beispielsweise im Bereich von 100 mm. Die Segmente sind dabei insbesondere als Kunststoff-Spritzgußteile hergestellt, und zwar bevorzugt dergestalt, daß sie insoweit Schalenkörper bilden, als die Wandungen der Zahnausbildungen wie diejenigen des diese tragenden Sokkelabschnittes, an dem Führungsvorsprünge für den Einsatz in entsprechende Nuten der Halteschiene ausgeformt sein können, und diejenigen des Steckerteils und des Aufnahmeteils sowie etwa vorgesehener Formversteifungsrippen etwa gleich dick gehalten sind.In a particularly preferred embodiment, for one over the Rack length extending the sliding gate Identically shaped rack segments used, each only a fraction of the total length includes, for example in the range of 100 mm. The segments are there especially manufactured as plastic injection molded parts, and preferred such that they form shell bodies insofar as the walls the tooth formations like those of the pedestal section carrying them, on the guide tabs for use in appropriate Grooves of the support rail can be formed, and those of the plug part and the receiving part and any provided Stiffening ribs are kept approximately the same thickness.

In weiterhin bevorzugter Ausführung kann die Verzahnung der Zahnstangenausbildung und damit diejenige der einzelnen Zahnsegmente hinsichtlich des Zahnflankenlängsverlaufes etwas aus der Senkrechten zur Längsrichtung der Segmente abweichend schräg verlaufend angeordnet sein, an welchen Zahnflankenverlauf dann das Antriebsritzel entsprechend angepaßt ist.In a further preferred embodiment, the toothing of the rack design and thus that of the individual tooth segments with respect to the tooth flank longitudinal course somewhat from the vertical arranged obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the segments be on which tooth flank course the drive pinion is adjusted accordingly.

Die Teilseitenansicht gemäß Figur 1 zeigt die Ansicht auf einen Torblattsockel 1 von der Seite des nicht dargestellten Motor-Antriebsaggregates aus, an dessen geschnitten wiedergegebene Ausgangswelle ein Abtriebsritzel 2 verdrehfest angeordnet ist, das mit seiner Schrägstirnverzahnung in eine entsprechend schräg verzahnte, insgesamt mit 3 bezeichnete Zahnstangenausbildung eingreift, die aus einer Halteschiene 4 und einer Anzahl in Aufeinanderfolge in diese eingesetzten Zahnstangensegmenten 5,5', 5".. besteht. Jedes der Zahnstangensegmente 5,5', 5".. ist an seiner dem Abtriebsritzel 2 zugewandten Seite mit einer Zähneausbildung 6 versehen, die im Zuge der Spritzguß-Herstellung der Zahnstangensegmente ausgebildet wird und keiner weiteren Bearbeitung bedarf. Die Zähneausbildungen 6 der aufeinanderfolgenden Zahnstangensegmente 5,5',5".. sind derart getroffen, daß sich eine von Segment zu Segment durchgehende Verzahnung ergibt. Dabei können sich eine oder mehrere Zahnflanken im Übergangsbereich zwischen zwei benachbarten Elementen senkrecht bzw. schräg zur Längsrichtung der Halteschiene gesehen aus Teilbereichen zusammensetzen, deren einer dem einen Segment und deren anderer dem anderen Segment zugeordnet ist. Aufgrund der im Zusammenhang mit Figur 3 noch näher zu erläuternden Verbindung zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Segmenten können sich dabei insbesondere Zahnflankenausbildungen ergeben, deren Mittelbereich durch die Zähneausbildung des einen Segmentes und deren Randbereiche im Schrägverlauf der Verzahnung gesehen von der Zähneausbildung des anderen Segmentes gebildet sind.The partial side view according to FIG. 1 shows the view of a door leaf base 1 from the side of the motor drive unit, not shown on the output shaft of which is cut an output pinion 2 is arranged non-rotatably, with its helical teeth in a correspondingly helically toothed, overall with 3 designated rack training engages that from a support rail 4 and a number inserted in succession in these Rack segments 5.5 ', 5 ".. there. Each of the rack segments 5.5 ', 5 ".. is on its side facing the output pinion 2 provided with a tooth formation 6, which in the course of the injection molding manufacture the rack segments is formed and no other Processing required. The tooth formations 6 of the successive Rack segments 5.5 ', 5 ".. are made such that a continuous toothing from segment to segment results. Here can have one or more tooth flanks in the transition area between two adjacent elements perpendicular or oblique to Assemble the longitudinal direction of the holding rail from partial areas, one segment and the other segment Segment is assigned. Due to the figure 3 connection to be explained in more detail between successive ones In particular, segments can form tooth flanks result, the middle area through the teeth formation of one Segment and their edge areas in the oblique course of the toothing seen from the teeth formation of the other segment are.

In Figur 1 ist mit 9 jeweils eine Eingreifausbildung zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Zahnstangensegmenten 5, 5' bzw. 5" angedeutet. Wie Figur 3 erkennen läßt, besteht jede dieser Eingreifausbildungen aus einem Steckerteil 10 und einem Aufnahmeteil 11. Der Steckerteil 10, der an jedem der Zahnstangensegmente 5, 5', 5"... an der einen, im Bild beispielsweise linken, Stirnseite eines jeden der Segmente ausgeformt ist, greift in den jeweils am anderen stirnseitigen Ende - in der Figur rechts - ausgeformten Aufnahmeteil 11 ein. Die Segmente sind untereinander also identisch ausgeformt. Im vorliegenden Beispiel ist der Stekkerteil 10 in Draufsicht auf die Zähneausbildung 6 gesehen etwa T-förmig ausgebildet, wobei der T-Querbalken 13 sich senkrecht zur Längsrichtung des jeweils betrachteten Segmentes 5, 5', 5"... erstreckt, dessen Stegbereich in die Zähneausbildung 6 des zugehörigen Segmentes übergeht. Der Aufnahmeteil 11 weist jeweils eine Ausnehmung 14 auf, die im Querschnitt an dem T-Querbalken und den aus der Zeichnung nicht ersichtlichen zugehörigen Steg des Steckerteils 10 angepaßt ist. Wie in Figur 3 angedeutet, wird die Verbindung zwischen zwei Zahnstangensegmenten 5' und 5" derart hergestellt, daß das eine Steckerteil 5" in Richtung des dort ersichtlichen Pfeiles mit seinem Steckerteil 10 in die Ausnehmung des Aufnahmeteils 11 eingesetzt wird, also von der der Zähneausbildung 6 abgewandten Seite her und senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der Segmente. Die rechterhand in Figur 3 gezeigten Segmente 5 und 5' befinden sich in diesem dergestalt herbeizuführenden Verbindungszustand, in der der Steckerteil 10 in das Aufnahmeteil 11 überführt ist und die Eingreifausbildung 9 somit besteht.In Figure 1, 9 is an intervention training between successive Rack segments 5, 5 'and 5 "indicated. How Figure 3 reveals, each of these intervention training consists of one Plug part 10 and a receiving part 11. The plug part 10, the on each of the rack segments 5, 5 ', 5 "... on one, in the picture for example, the left end face of each of the segments is formed , engages in the other at the other end - in the figure right - molded receiving part 11. The segments are one below the other thus shaped identically. In the present example is the connector part 10 seen in plan view of the tooth formation 6 approximately T-shaped formed, the T-crossbar 13 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the respectively considered segment 5, 5 ', 5 "... extends, whose land area in the teeth formation 6 of the associated segment transforms. The receiving part 11 each has a recess 14 on the cross-section of the T-crossbar and from the Adjusted drawing not visible associated web of the connector part 10 is. As indicated in Figure 3, the connection between two rack segments 5 'and 5 "manufactured such that the one Plug part 5 "in the direction of the arrow shown there with his Plug part 10 inserted into the recess of the receiving part 11 is, ie from the side facing away from the teeth 6 and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the segments. The right hand in Figure 3 shown segments 5 and 5 'are in this way to be brought about Connection state in which the connector part 10 in the Receiving part 11 is transferred and the intervention training 9 thus exists.

In vorliegendem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Zähneausbildung 6 eines jeden Segmentes oberhalb eines Sockelabschnittes 12 ausgebildet, der seitliche Führungsvorsprünge 7 aufweist, mit welchen die Segmente 5,5',5".. in die Halteschiene 4 lediglich in deren Längsrichtung verschiebbar eingeführt sind, und zwar derart, daß die Führungsvorsprünge 7 in Haltenuten 8 des Profils der Halteschiene 4 eingreifen, wie dies insbesondere Figur 2 erkennen läßt. Jedes der Segmente, einige oder aber auch nur die jeweiligen, nach vollständigem Auffüllen der Halteschiene 4 in deren Endbereichen angeordneten Segmente 5 sind in dieser Lage festgelegt, so daß die gesamte Reihe der Segmente in Längsrichtung fixiert wird. Dies geschieht im Ausführungsbeispiel mit Hilfe von Schrauben 16, die eine Stegwandung einer der Haltenuten 8 der Halteschiene 4 durchgreifen und im Sockelabschnitt 12 des jeweils betroffenen Segmentes verankert sind. Die Halteschiene 4 weist zwei parallel verlaufende, seitliche Anlagebereiche 17 auf, mit der sie an dem Torblattsockel 1
mit Hilfe von Schrauben 18 festgelegt ist. Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ergibt sich damit durch die Halteschiene eine Art Dachfunktion für die aufgenommenen Segmente 5,5',5".. sowie den Eingriffsbereich zwischen deren Zähneausbildung 6 und der Stirnverzahnung des Abtriebsritzels 2.
In the present exemplary embodiment, the tooth formation 6 of each segment is formed above a base section 12, which has lateral guide projections 7 with which the segments 5, 5 ', 5 "... Are inserted into the holding rail 4 only in their longitudinal direction, in such a way that the guide projections 7 engage in holding grooves 8 of the profile of the holding rail 4, as can be seen in particular in Figure 2. Each of the segments, some or only the respective segments 5, which are arranged in their end regions after complete filling, are in this In the exemplary embodiment, this is done with the aid of screws 16 which pass through a web wall of one of the retaining grooves 8 of the retaining rail 4 and are anchored in the base section 12 of the segment concerned in each case has two parallel, lateral System areas 17 with which they on the door leaf base 1
is fixed by means of screws 18. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the holding rail results in a type of roof function for the segments 5, 5 ', 5 ".

Wie aus Figur 3 ersichtlich, sind die einzelnen Zahnstangensegmente 5,5',5".. insoweit schalenförmig ausgebildet, als praktisch sämtliche Wandungen etwa gleich dick ausgebildet sind, es handelt sich dabei um die Wandungen des Sockels, der Zähneausbildung des Steckerteils und des Aufnahmeteils sowie von Verstrebungen 15, die zur Formstabilisierung innerhalb des von dem Sockelabschnitt 12 und dessen Führungsvorsprüngen 7 sowie der Innenseite der Zähneausbildung 6 umrissen ist.As can be seen from Figure 3, the individual rack segments 5.5 ', 5 ".. as far as bowl-shaped, as practically all Walls are approximately the same thickness, it is about the walls of the base, the teeth of the plug part and of the receiving part and struts 15, which are used to stabilize the shape within that of the base portion 12 and its guide projections 7 and the inside of the teeth 6 outlined is.

Die Seitenansicht gemäß Figur 4 - insoweit ähnlich Figur 1 - zeigt die beiden Endbereiche in Längsrichtung der Halteschiene gesehen. Die jeweiligen Endstücke der Zahnstangenausbildung sind an ihren einander abgewandten Stirnseiten jeweils durch Pufferelemente 19 abgestützt, die aus einem weichen Polyurethan besteht. Die Pufferelemente selbst sind mit einem für die beabsichtigte Federbewegung erforderlichen Abstand von den beiden Stirnseiten jeweils mit schraubförmigen Halteelementen 20 an der Halteschiene festgelegt. Es ist ohne weiteres verständlich, daß auf die Verzahnung der Zahnstangenausbildung in Längsrichtung der Halteschiene ausgeübte Kräfte zunächst zu einer Verschiebung der entsprechend in der Halteschiene geführten Zahnstangenausbildung 3 führen, und zwar je nach Bewegungsrichtung unter stauchender Verformung eines der beiden Pufferelemente 19. Dadurch werden eingeleitete Kräfte entsprechend gedämpft, stoßartige Belastungen von der Zahnstangenausbildung und letztlich auch dem Tor ferngehalten, was im übrigen auch die Möglichkeit eröffnet, das Antriebsaggregat mit einem kleineren Anfahrmoment auszubilden. Das Anfahren und Abbremsen des Schiebetores gestaltet sich somit "weich" und die in den Übertragungsweg der Antriebskräfte eingeschalteten Bauelemente werden geschont.The side view according to FIG. 4 - to the extent similar to FIG. 1 - shows the seen both end regions in the longitudinal direction of the holding rail. The respective End pieces of rack and pinion training are at their each other end faces facing away from each other are supported by buffer elements 19, which is made of a soft polyurethane. The buffer elements themselves are at a distance necessary for the intended spring movement from the two end faces each with screw-shaped holding elements 20 set on the support rail. It is easy to understand that on the teeth of the rack training in Forces exerted in the longitudinal direction of the holding rail initially to a Displacement of the rack design correspondingly guided in the holding rail 3 lead, depending on the direction of movement upsetting deformation of one of the two buffer elements 19. As a result initiated forces are damped accordingly, shock-like Loads from the rack training and ultimately that Gate kept away, which also opens the possibility of the Train drive unit with a smaller starting torque. The Starting and braking of the sliding gate is thus a matter of course "soft" and those switched into the transmission path of the driving forces Components are protected.
