Description

Es sind Raumtrennwände bekannt welche aus einer Reihe von an einer, an der Decke befestigten, Führungsschiene verfahrbaren, Wandelementen zusammengesetzt sind. Es sind weiters verschiedene Anlagen bekannt um die Wandelemente einer Raumtrennwand seitlich, zum Beispiel in einer Nische, so zu parken, daß diese mit den Wandflächen aneinandergereiht ein Bündel bilden welches ein Minimum an Platz einnimmt. Um diese Ablage der Wandelemente zu erreichen ist es bekannt von der Hauptführungsschiene an der Decke eine Abzweigung, zum Beispiel im Winkel von 90° zum Verlauf der Raumtrennwand vorzusehen um so eine zweite Führungsschiene, welche sich parallel zur Hauptführungsschiene, in einem Abstand gleich dem Achsabstand zwischen den zwei Tragbolzen mit Rollenkreuzkopf der verfahrbaren Wandelemente erstreckt, vorzusehen.
Es sind verschiedene Antriebseinrichtungen für besagte verfahrbare Wandelemente bekannt um die mechanisierte Zusammensetzung der Raumtrennwand, beziehungsweise um das gebündelte Parken der einzelnen Wandelemente zu erreichen. In der EP-0 471 230 A1 ist eine Antriebseinrichtung für verfahrbare Wandelemente längs einer Führungsschiene an der Decke bekannt welche durch eine Kette oder ein anderes Antriebselement gekennzeichnet ist, welches im Innern der Führungsschiene selbst gelagert ist und Mitnehmer aufweist welche gegen die Tragorgane der verfahrbaren Wandelemente abstehen, wobei diese Tragorgane vertikal verstellbare Stifte aufweisen um einen Anschlag für die vorbeilaufenden Mitnehmer zu bilden und bei ausgefahrenen Stiften das Mitführen des Wandelements in eine der Laufrichtungen der Kette zu bewirken. Dieses Antriebssystem hat sich, beim Wechsel der Rollenkreuzköpfe der verfahrbaren Wandelemente von der Hauptführungsschiene auf die Nebenführung oder auf die Abzweigungsführung, als wenig zuverlässig erwiesen, insbesondere wenn diese Führungen mit der Hauptführung einen Winkel von 90° bilden.
Die EP-0 574 851 A1 beschreibt ein Antriebssystem für verfahrbare Wandelemente einer Raumtrennwand welches dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß eine Kupplung vorgesehen ist welche zwischen den Tragorganen der Wandelemente und der Förderkette beweglich ist und das Ankuppeln, beziehungsweise das Abkuppeln im Abzweigungsbereich der Führungsschiene ermöglicht.
Aus der DE-G_92 09 496.1 ist ein Steuerungssystem für ein Antriebssystem mittels Kette oder anderem Förderelement, welches in der Führungsschiene für die Wandelemente selbst gelagert ist, bekannt.
All diese bekannten Lösungen weisen jedoch, insbesondere im Abzweigungsbereich der Führungsschienen oder in den Bereichen wo die Führungen abgewinkelt verlaufen, Funktionsstörungen auf. Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Systeme ist der laute Lauf der Ketten und das Geräusch des An- und Abkuppelns zwischen den Mitnehmern und den Tragorganen der verfahrbaren Wandelemente sowie das eher komplizierte Steuersystem.Room partitions are known which are composed of a series of wall elements which can be moved on a guide rail fastened to the ceiling. Various systems are also known for parking the wall elements of a room partition laterally, for example in a niche, in such a way that they line up with the wall surfaces to form a bundle which takes up a minimum of space. In order to achieve this storage of the wall elements, it is known to provide a branch from the main guide rail on the ceiling, for example at an angle of 90 ° to the course of the room partition, in order to have a second guide rail which is parallel to the main guide rail and at a distance equal to the center distance between the two support bolts with roller cross head of the movable wall elements extends to provide.
Various drive devices for said movable wall elements are known in order to achieve the mechanized composition of the room partition wall or to achieve the bundled parking of the individual wall elements. EP-0 471 230 A1 discloses a drive device for movable wall elements along a guide rail on the ceiling which is characterized by a chain or another drive element which is mounted in the interior of the guide rail itself and has drivers which act against the support members of the movable wall elements protrude, these support members have vertically adjustable pins to form a stop for the passing drivers and to cause the wall element to be carried in one of the running directions of the chain when the pins are extended. This drive system has proven to be less reliable when changing the roller crossheads of the movable wall elements from the main guide rail to the secondary guide or to the branch guide, especially if these guides form an angle of 90 ° with the main guide.
EP-0 574 851 A1 describes a drive system for movable wall elements of a room partition which is characterized in that a coupling is provided which is movable between the supporting elements of the wall elements and the conveyor chain and which enables coupling or uncoupling in the branch area of the guide rail.
From DE-G_92 09 496.1 a control system for a drive system by means of a chain or other conveying element, which is mounted in the guide rail for the wall elements themselves, is known.
However, all of these known solutions have malfunctions, particularly in the branching area of the guide rails or in the areas where the guides run at an angle. Another disadvantage of the known systems is the loud running of the chains and the noise of the coupling and uncoupling between the drivers and the support members of the movable wall elements and the rather complicated control system.

All die bekannten Systeme weisen weiters den Nachteil auf, daß sie von elektrisch betriebenen Systemen Gebrauch machen um das Ausfahren und Einfahren der Dichtungsleisten gegen den Boden und gegen die Decke zu erreichen. Diese bekannten elektrischen Antriebssysteme setzen eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen, die Raumtrennwand bildenden, Wandelementen voraus um die Stromversorgung und die Steuerung der Elektromotoren im Innern jedes Wandelementes zu erreichen.All the known systems also have the disadvantage on being powered by electrical systems Use to extend and retract the Sealing strips against the floor and against the ceiling to reach. These known electric drive systems put an electrical connection between the individual wall elements that form the room partition ahead about the power supply and the control of the Electric motors inside each wall element too to reach.

Die Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe eine Antriebseinrichtung für verfahrbare Wandelemente einer Raumtrennwand der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, welche zuverlässig und geräuscharm arbeitet, ohne Hemmungen die Abzweigungsbereiche der Führungsschienen überwindet, ein einfaches Steuersystem ermöglicht und im Falle einer Stromunterbrechung oder einer Panne im Antriebsmechanismus auch die herkömmliche manuelle Betätigung ermöglicht; weiters stellt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe das elektrische Antriebssystem für die Betätigung der Dichtungsleisten sowie die Systeme der elektrischen Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Wandelementen zwecks Stromversorgung und Steuerung zu eliminieren.The invention has as its object Drive device for movable wall elements To create a partition of the type mentioned at the beginning, which works reliably and quietly without Inhibitions of the branch areas of the guide rails overcomes, enables a simple control system and in the event of a power failure or a breakdown in the Drive mechanism also the traditional manual Enables operation; furthermore the Invention the task of the electric drive system for the actuation of the sealing strips and the Systems of electrical connection between the individual wall elements for the purpose of power supply and To eliminate control.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß innerhalb der Führungsschienen für die Tragorgane der Wandelemente, selbstfahrende Laufkatzen vorgesehen sind welche das Ankuppeln, das Verfahren in beide Richtungen und das Abkuppeln der einzelnen Tragorgane der Wandelemente, zwecks Zusammensetzen der Raumtrennwand, beziehungsweise zwecks Parken der Wandelemente in gebündelter Ablageposition durchführen; weiters schlägt die Erfindung vor, das Ausfahren und das Einholen der an den einzelnen Wandelementen vorgesehenen Dichtungsleisten, durch Nutzung der Verschiebungsbewegung der Wandelemente selbst an der Hauptführungsschiene, zu erreichen.This object is achieved in that within the guide rails for the support members of the Wall elements, self-propelled trolleys are provided which involves coupling, moving in both directions and the uncoupling of the individual support members of the Wall elements, for the purpose of assembling the room partition, or for parking the wall elements in carry out bundled storage position; further strikes the invention before, extending and catching up provided on the individual wall elements Sealing strips, by using the Movement of the wall elements themselves on the Main guide rail.

Die selbstfahrenden Laufkatzen können erfindungsgemäß innerhalb der, an der Decke befestigten, Führungsschienen laufen welche für die Halterung der verfahrbaren Wandelemente vorgesehen sind und zwar vorzugsweise in einem Kanal welcher über dem Führungskanal für die Trageorgane der Wandelemente angeordnet ist, ohne jedoch die Möglichkeit auszuschließen, daß die Laufkatzen im Innern eines seitlich angeordneten Kanals laufen. Die selbstfahrende Laufkatze besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem Elektromotor, aus einer elektromagnetischen Kupplungsvorrichtung, aus Lauf- und Führungsrollen, aus einem Mikroschalter und aus einer elektronischen Steuerkarte. Der Elektromotor treibt ein Zahnrad an, welches in eine Zahnstange eingreift die zum Beispiel in eine Rille innerhalb des Laufkanals für die Laufkatze vorgesehen ist, eingesetzt ist. Die elektromagnetische Kupplungsvorrichtung besteht aus einem Elektromagnet mit Kupplungselement welches von einer Feder in zurückgezogener Lage gehalten wird und durch den Elektromagnet zum Ankuppeln ausgefahren wird. Die Steuerung des Elektromotors und des Elektromagneten kann erfindungsgemäß mittels Impulse welche von einem oder mehreren Mikroschaltern beim Überfahren von Vorsprüngen oder Vertiefungen gegeben werden. Diese Vorsprünge oder Vertiefungen sind an den vorbestimmten Punkten, längs der entsprechenden Lauflinie im Innern des Laufkanals, vorgesehen; die Steuerimpulse können jedoch auch über ein optisches oder magnetisches Lesesystem ausgelöst werden. Die Stromversorgung der selbstfahrenden Laufkatze samt elektromagnetischer Kupplungsvorrichtung kann über einen spiralförmigen Kabel welcher innerhalb des Laufkanals geführt ist oder über Schleifkontakte erfolgen.The self-propelled trolleys can according to the invention inside the, attached to the ceiling, Guide rails run which for holding the movable wall elements are provided, namely preferably in a channel above the Guide channel for the support elements of the wall elements is arranged, but without the possibility rule out that the trolleys inside a laterally arranged channel run. The self-driving Trolley essentially consists of one Electric motor, from an electromagnetic Coupling device, from rollers and guide rollers, from a microswitch and an electronic one Control board. The electric motor drives a gear which engages a rack, for example in a groove within the running channel for the Trolley is provided is used. The electromagnetic coupling device consists of an electromagnet with coupling element which from a spring is held in the retracted position and is extended by the electromagnet for coupling. The control of the electric motor and the electromagnet can according to the invention by means of pulses from a or more microswitches when driving over Projections or depressions are given. This Protrusions or depressions are at the predetermined ones Points along the corresponding running line inside the running channel, provided; the control impulses can but also via an optical or magnetic Reading system are triggered. The power supply of the self-propelled trolley including electromagnetic Coupling device can have a spiral Cable which is routed within the running channel or via sliding contacts.

Das erfindungsgemäße Antriebssystem setzt voraus, daß in jedem geradlinigem Abschnitt der Führungsschienen eine selbstfahrende Laufkatze vorgesehen ist, weshalb, zum Beispiel in Parkvorrichtungen mit einer Abzweigung im Winkel von 90°, drei selbstfahrende Laufkatzen erforderlich sind: eine bewegt sich längs der Hauptführungsschiene, eine längs der Abzweigungsschiene welche mit der ersten einen Winkel von 90° bildet und eine bewegt sich längs der Führungsschiene welche parallel zur Hauptführungsschiene verläuft. Die Funktion der einzelnen selbstfahrenden Laufkatzen wird durch ein Steuerprogramm koordiniert.The drive system according to the invention requires that in each rectilinear section of the guide rails a self-propelled trolley is provided, which is why for example in parking facilities with a branch at an angle of 90 °, three self-propelled trolleys are required: one moves along the Main guide rail, one along the branch rail which forms an angle of 90 ° with the first and one moves along the guide rail which runs parallel to the main guide rail. The Function of each self-propelled trolley coordinated by a control program.

Insbesondere beim Wechsel eines der Tragorgane eines Wandelementes von der Hauptführungsschiene auf die zu dieser parallel verlaufenden Schiene, über die Abzweigungsführung im Winkel von 90°, ist eine logische Folge der Bewegungen der Laufkatzen sowie der An- und Abkupplungsvorgänge erforderlich. Beim Beispiel mit seitlicher "Paketierung" der geparkten Wandelemente und einer Abzweigungsführung im Winkel von 90° ist folgender Ablauf der Bewegungen und Kupplungsvorgänge gegeben:

  • a. die Laufkatze der Hauptführungsschiene kuppelt das dem Parkbereich zugewandte verfahrbare Tragorgan des Wandelements an und verfährt dieses bis zum Abzweigungsbereich der Abzweigungsführung im Winkel von 90° wo abgekuppelt wird um darauf die nötige Strecke weiterzufahren um das Ankuppeln der Laufkatze welche in der Abzweigungsführung vorgesehen ist zu ermöglichen;
  • b. die selbstfahrende Laufkatze der Abzweigungsführung im Winkel von 90° ist inzwischen am Abzweigpunkt angelangt und kuppelt das Tragorgan, welches vorher von der Laufkatze der Hauptführungsschiene abgekuppelt worden ist, an, um es in die Abzweigführungsschiene zu ziehen bis das Wandelement, gegenüber der Hauptführungsschiene, eine angewinkelte Stellung (vorzugsweise mehr als 30°) einnimmt um es anschließend abzukuppeln;

  • d. Die selbstfahrende Laufkatze der zur Hauptführungsschiene parallel verlaufenden Führungsschiene kuppelt das erste Tragorgan an und zieht das Wandelement, in Zusammenwirkung mit der Laufkatze der Hauptführungsschiene, in Querstellung bezogen auf den Verlauf der Hauptführungsschiene, in Richtung Paketierbereich wo beide Laufkatzen die Tragorgane in einer Position abkuppeln, welche durch die, in diesem Bereich bereits vorher abgestellten, Wandelemente bestimmt ist;

    • In particular when changing one of the supporting elements of a wall element from the main guide rail to the rail running parallel to it, via the branch guide at an angle of 90 °, a logical sequence of the movements of the trolleys and the coupling and uncoupling processes is necessary. In the example with side "packaging" of the parked wall elements and a branch guide at an angle of 90 °, the following sequence of movements and coupling processes is given:
  • a. the trolley of the main guide rail couples the movable support element of the wall element facing the parking area and moves this up to the branch area of the branch guide at an angle of 90 ° where it is uncoupled in order to continue the necessary distance to enable the trolley which is provided in the branch guide to be coupled;
  • b. the self-propelled trolley of the branch guide at an angle of 90 ° has now reached the branch point and couples the support element, which was previously uncoupled from the trolley of the main guide rail, to pull it into the branch guide rail until the wall element, relative to the main guide rail, is angled Position (preferably more than 30 °) to then uncouple it;
  • c. the self-propelled trolley of the main guide rail moves to couple the second movable support element of the same wall element and moves this support element to the branch point, at the same time advancing the first support element up to the connection point at an angle of 90 ° between the branch guide rail and the parallel to the main rail, Guide rail takes place;
  • d. The self-propelled trolley of the guide rail running parallel to the main guide rail couples the first support member and pulls the wall element, in cooperation with the trolley of the main guide rail, in the transverse position relative to the course of the main guide rail, in the direction of the packaging area where both trolleys uncouple the support members in one position, which is determined by the wall elements already parked in this area;
  • e. the trolleys again take up the starting positions for the displacement in the direction of the packaging area of the next wall element, or take up the starting position for moving the first wall element for the purpose of reassembling the room partition.

    • Die erfindungsgemäße Antriebseinrichtung hat den Vorteil in seiner Funktion zuverlässig zu sein, weil das Verfahren der Wandelemente nicht einem relativ langen Übertragungsorgan (Kette) anvertraut wird welches aus einer Vielzahl von Gliedern besteht, was eine beachtenswerte Längenveränderung und somit Funktionshemmungen wegen der daran montierten ungenau arbeitenden Kupplungsorgane, mit sich bringt. Weiters ermöglichen die selbstfahrenden Laufkatzen einen geräuscharmen Antrieb mit extrem genauen und leisen An- und Abkupplungsvorgängen welche elektronisch und/oder durch, längs der Laufbahn vorgesehenen, Vorsprüngen betätigte Mikroschalter gesteuert werden können.The drive device according to the invention has the Advantage to be reliable in its function because the method of wall elements is not relative to one long transmission organ (chain) is entrusted which consists of a multitude of links, what a remarkable change in length and thus Function inhibitions due to the imprecise mounted on it working coupling organs. Furthermore, allow the self-propelled trolleys low-noise drive with extremely precise and quiet and decoupling processes which are electronic and / or through projections provided along the track actuated microswitches can be controlled.

    Natürlich können die selbstfahrenden Laufkatzen in beiden Richtungen arbeiten indem sie die Tragorgane der Wandelemente ziehen und/oder schieben. Um die Führungsschienen nicht, zwecks Erreichen jedes funktionswichtigen Punktes seitens der elektromagnetischen Kupplungsvorrichtung, verlängern zu müssen, schlägt die Erfindung den Einsatz eines verschiebbaren Bügels vor welcher es, insbesondere im Paketierbereich, ermöglicht auch die letzten Wandelemente, welche während der Ablage gegen die Wand geschoben wurden, zu entnehmen.Of course, the self-propelled trolleys can work in both directions by supporting the Pull and / or slide wall elements. To the Guide rails not, in order to reach everyone functionally important point on the part of electromagnetic coupling device, extend to need, the invention proposes the use of a sliding bracket in front of which it, especially in Packing area, also allows the last Wall elements that are against the wall during storage were pushed.

    Um das Aus- und Einfahren der Dichtungsleisten an jedem Wandelement im Boden- und im Deckenbereich, unter Nutzung der, durch die Laufkatzen bewirkten, Verschiebungsbewegung an der Hauptführungsschiene, zu erreichen, schlägt die Erfindung vor, daß das verfahrbare Tragorgan welches dem Paketierbereich zugewandt ist und an welchem der Kupplungsmechanismus der Laufkatze wirkt, horizontal verschiebbar am Rahmen des Wandelements gelagert ist, so daß ein Hebelsystem welches mit den beweglichen Dichtungsleisten verbunden ist, betätigt werden kann. Mittels besagtem mechanischem System wird erreicht, daß während des Anschlagens des ersten Wandelementes an die dafür an der Mauer vorgesehenen Anschlagleiste, während der Aufbaufase der Raumtrennwand, beziehungsweise während der Anschlagfase jedes weiteren dazugereihten Wandelementes, infolge des Arretierens des angeschlagenen Wandelements, durch Weiterschieben seitens der Laufkatze am verschiebbaren Tragorgan, diese während der horizontalen Verschiebung des Tragorgans, beide Dichtungsleisten ausfährt und diese in ausgefahrener Stellung, durch Überwindung eines toten Punktes im Hebel-/Zugstangensystem, blockiert. Nachdem die Ausfahrstellung der Dichtungsleisten und somit die Überwindung des toten Punktes erreicht ist, nimmt das verschiebbare Tragorgan die äußerste Stellung des horizontalen Laufes ein und wirkt somit der Bewegung der Laufkatze entgegen, wodurch, zum Beispiel wegen Erhöhung des elektrischen Widerstandes im Elektromotor, über ein darauf sensibles Schaltelement, die Stromzufuhr unterbrochen wird. Besagte Stromunterbrechung für den Elektromotor kann das Abkuppeln des verfahrbaren Tragorgans und darauf die erneute Stromversorgung bewirken um so das Verfahren des folgenden Wandelementes zu ermöglichen.To extend and retract the sealing strips on everyone Wall element in the floor and ceiling area, under Use of the trolleys Sliding movement on the main guide rail, too achieve, the invention proposes that Movable support element which the packaging area is facing and on which the clutch mechanism the trolley acts horizontally on the frame of the wall element is mounted so that a lever system which is connected to the movable sealing strips is, can be operated. By means of said mechanical system is achieved that during the Attaching the first wall element to it the wall stop bar provided during the Construction phase of the room partition, or during the bevel of each additional one Wall element, as a result of locking the struck wall element, by sliding by the trolley on the sliding support member, this during the horizontal displacement of the Support member, both sealing strips extends and this in the extended position, by overcoming a dead point in the lever / tie rod system, blocked. After the extended position of the sealing strips and thus the deadlock has been overcome, the sliding support element takes the extreme position of the horizontal run and thus acts Movement against the trolley, causing, for example due to the increase in electrical resistance in the Electric motor, via a switching element sensitive to it, the power supply is interrupted. said Power interruption for the electric motor can do that Uncouple the movable support member and then the renewed power supply effect the process of the following wall element.

    In der Abbaufase der Raumtrennwand kuppelt die selbstfahrende Laufkatze das verschiebbare Tragorgan an und bewirkt durch den Zug in Richtung Paketierbereich in einem ersten Moment die Entriegelung des Wandelementes indem die Dichtungsleisten eingefahren werden und darauf das Wandelement verfahren wird. Um das vollständige Einfahren der Dichtungsleisten zu sichern können im Hebel- und Zugstangensystem Federn vorgesehen sein welche, sobald der tote Punkt überschritten ist, die vollständige Einfahrstellung der Dichtungsleisten sowie das Einnehmen der Endposition des horizontal verschiebbaren Tragorganes bewirken. The coupling couples in the dismantling phase of the room partition self-propelled trolley on the sliding support member and caused by the train towards the packaging area in a first moment the unlocking of the Wall element by retracting the sealing strips and the wall element is moved on it. Around the complete retraction of the sealing strips can secure springs in the lever and tie rod system which should be provided as soon as the deadlock the full retracted position of the Sealing strips as well as the final position cause the horizontally displaceable support member.

    Das mechanische System für das Ausfahren und Einfahren der Dichtungsleisten der Wandelemente, welches durch die Zug- und Druckbewegung der, am horizontal verschiebbaren Tragorgan angekuppelten selbstfahrenden Laufkatze bewirkt wird, kann auch im Falle bekannter Antriebsvorrichtungen für die Wandelemente, zum Beispiel im Falle von Kettenantrieb mit Mitnehmern, beziehungsweise mit Ein- und Aushängelementen, Anwendung finden.The mechanical system for extending and retracting the sealing strips of the wall elements, which by the pulling and pushing movement of the, at the horizontal slidable support member coupled self-propelled Trolley is also known in the case Drive devices for the wall elements to Example in the case of chain drive with drivers, or with hanging and unhooking elements, Find application.

    Die Führungs- und Gleitschienen 8 bestehen aus einem oberen Kanal für den Durchlauf A, B, C der selbstfahrenden Laufkatzen 2, 2a, 2b und aus einem unteren Kanal für die Führung der Tragorgane mit Rollenkreuzkopf 1a und 1b der Wandelemente 1 und bilden eine Hauptführungsschiene 3-3a welche den Verlauf der Raumtrennwand bestimmt und an der Decke montiert ist. In Richtung Paketierbereich D der Wandelemente 1 ist eine Abzweigungsführung 3b im Winkel von 90° vorgesehen welche in einer Führungsschiene fortgesetzt wird welche parallel 3c zur Hauptführungsschiene 3-3a verläuft. Die Abzweigungsführung 3b hat gleiche Länge wie der Achsabstand zwischen den Tragorganen 1a, 1b der Wandelemente 1.The guide and slide rails 8 consist of one upper channel for the run A, B, C of the self-propelled trolleys 2, 2a, 2b and from one lower channel for the guidance of the supporting elements with Crossheads 1a and 1b of the wall elements 1 and form a main guide rail 3-3a which the course of the Room partition is determined and mounted on the ceiling. In the direction of the packaging area D of the wall elements 1 a branch guide 3b is provided at an angle of 90 ° which is continued in a guide rail which 3c runs parallel to the main guide rail 3-3a. The Branch guide 3b has the same length as that Center distance between the support members 1a, 1b of the Wall elements 1.

    Die Profile 8 welche die Führungen 3-3a, 3b, 3c im Gleitkanal für die Rollenkreuzköpfe 1a, 1b bilden weisen Auflageflanschen 8a auf, während im Durchlaufkanal für die selbstfahrenden Laufkatzen 2, 2a, 2b Flanschen 8b vorgesehen sind auf welchen die Rollen 2d der Laufkatzen laufen. An der Oberseite sind im selben Kanal mehrere Rillen vorgesehen welche zum Einsetzen der Zahnstange 8a, in welche das Zahnrad 2c der elektrisch betriebenen Laufkatze eingreift, geeignet ist; in der mittigen Rille 8c können Elemente für die Halterung und Führung des elikoidalen Stromkabels gleiten und/oder Elemente eingesetzt werden welche Steuerimpulse auslösen; in der Rille 8b können weitere Steuerelemente oder Elemente für die Stromversorgung wie zum Beispiel Leiterbahnen an denen Schleifkontakte gleiten eingesetzt werden. Im Innern des selben Kanals können vorspringende Elemente 9 angebracht sein welche geeignet sind, beim Vorbeifahren der Laufkatze 2 ein oder mehrere daran aufmontierte Mikroschalter 10 zu betätigen. Besagte Laufkatze ist mit Rollen 2d und 2e bestückt und weist eine elektromagnetische Kupplungsvorrichtung 4 auf welche ihrerseits aus einer Magnetspule 4a besteht in welcher achsial der Bolzen 4c läuft mittels welchem die Kupplungsplatte 5 mit Querrille 5b bewegt 5a wird. Diese Querrille entspricht dem Durchmesser der Eingriffsbolzen 8b welche an der Oberseite der Rollenkreuzköpfe 1a, 1b der Wandelemente 1 vorgesehen sind sowie den Eingriffvorsprüngen 7a am Entnahmebügel 7. Die Kupplungsplatte 5 wird durch die Magnetkraft der Magnetspule 4a in Eingriff gebracht und in Eingriff gehalten, während die angehobene Position des Abkuppelns durch eine Spiralfeder 4b am Bolzen 4c erreicht und gehalten wird. Das Verschieben der verfahrbaren Wandelemente 1 während der Paketierungsfase im entsprechenden Bereich D, erfolgt durch Einsatz der selbstfahrenden Laufkatzen 2, 2a, 2b welche in den entsprechenden Führungsprofilen 3-3a, 3b, 3c vorgesehen sind. Die Laufkatze 2 bewegt sich in Richtung A um am Bolzen 1a des, dem Paketierungsbereich D zugewandten, Wandelementes 1 anzukuppeln 5a und um dieses Element bis zum Abzweigpunkt E der Führungsschiene 3b im Winkel von 90° zur Hauptführungsschiene 3 (Fig. 1a) zu verfahren. Am besagten Punkt E kuppelt 5a die Laufkatze 2 den Bolzen 6 des Rollenkreuzkopfes 1a ab und fährt etwas weiter um das Ankuppeln am selben Bolzen 6 seitens der Laufkatze 2a der Abzweigführungsschiene 3b zu ermöglichen. Nach erfolgter Ankuppelung verfährt die Laufkatze 2a den Rollenkreuzkopf 1a in Richtung B in der Abzweigungsführung 3b und das Wandelement 1 welches mit dem zweiten Rollenkreuzkopf 1b noch in der Hauptführungsschiene 3 läuft wird sich, bezogen auf diese letzte Schiene 3, schräg stellen (Fig. 1b). Sobald diese Schrägstellung einen Mindestwert aufweist welcher ein Verfahren durch Schieben am zweiten Rollenkreuzkopf 1b ermöglicht, kuppelt die Laufkatze 2a ab und die Laufkatze 2 kuppelt den Rollenkreuzkopf 1b wieder an um diesen in Richtung A bis zum Abzweigungspunkt E weiterzuverfahren, ohne ihn in dieser Position abzukuppeln. Anschließend fährt die Laufkatze 2b bis zum Punkt F wo die Abzweigungsführungsschiene 3b, einen Winkel von 90° bildend, in die Nebenschiene 3c übergeht welche parallel zur Hauptführungsschiene 3-3a verläuft, um den Rollenkreuzkopf 1a anzukuppeln. Nach erfolgter Ankuppelung verfahren synchron beide Laufkatzen 2, 2a das Wandelement 1 in Richtung Paketierbereich D (Fig. 1c). Im Paketierbereich D wird dieses erste Wandelement 1 von den Laufkatzen 2, 2a in einem Abstand zur Wand 12 abgekuppelt welcher ungefähr dem Abstand zwischen der vertikalen Achse der Kupplungsscheibe 5 und dem entgegengesetzten Ende der Laufkatze entspricht. Die folgenden Wandelemente 1 welche von den Laufkatzen 2, 2b in diese selbe Position gefahren werden bewirken, daß dabei die vorher hier abgekuppelten Wandelemente 1 in Richtung Mauer 12 verschoben werden, wobei der Abstand zu dieser durch den Entnahmebügel 7 bestimmt wird, welcher während der Ablage des ersten Wandelementes 1 im Paketierbereich D durch Anschlag mit der vertikalen Wand 7b an der Mauer 12 anliegt (Fig. 4). Während der Entnahme der Wandelemente 1 aus dem Paketierungsbereich D ermöglicht es dieser Entnahmebügel 7 eine bestimmte Anzahl der, nahe an der Wand 12 abgelegten, Wandelemente in einen, für die elektromagnetische Kupplungsvorrichtung 4 erreichbaren, Bereich zu bringen.The profiles 8 which the guides 3-3a, 3b, 3c in Form sliding channel for the roller cross heads 1a, 1b have support flanges 8a, while in Flow channel for the self-propelled trolleys 2, 2a, 2b flanges 8b are provided on which the Trolleys 2d of trolleys run. Are on top In the same channel, several grooves are provided which are used for Insert the rack 8a, in which the gear 2c the electrically powered trolley engages, suitable is; elements can be in the central groove 8c for holding and guiding the elicoid Power cable slide and / or elements are used which control impulses trigger; in the groove 8b additional controls or elements for the Power supply such as conductor tracks on them Sliding contacts slide are used. At the inside of the same channel can projecting elements 9 be appropriate which are suitable when driving past the trolley 2 one or more mounted thereon To operate microswitch 10. Said trolley is equipped with rollers 2d and 2e and has one electromagnetic coupling device 4 on which in turn consists of a magnetic coil 4a in which axially the bolt 4c runs by means of which the Coupling plate 5 with transverse groove 5b is moved 5a. This transverse groove corresponds to the diameter of the Engaging bolt 8b which on the top of the Crossheads 1a, 1b of the wall elements 1 are provided are and the engagement projections 7a on the removal bracket 7. The clutch plate 5 is the magnetic force of the Magnetic coil 4a engaged and engaged held while the raised position of the Uncoupling by a coil spring 4b on the bolt 4c is reached and held. Moving the movable wall elements 1 during the Packaging phase in the corresponding area D, takes place by using the self-propelled trolleys 2, 2a, 2b which in the corresponding guide profiles 3-3a, 3b, 3c are provided. The trolley 2 moves in Direction A around the bolt 1a of the packaging area D facing, wall element 1 to couple 5a and around this element up to the branch point E the Guide rail 3b at an angle of 90 ° Main guide rail 3 (Fig. 1a) to move. At the Said point E 5a couples the trolley 2 the bolt 6 of the roller cross head 1a and drives a little further coupling to the same pin 6 on the trolley To enable 2a of the branch guide rail 3b. To the coupling trolley 2a moves Rollenkreuzkopf 1a in direction B in the Branch guide 3b and the wall element 1 which with the second roller cross head 1b still in the Main guide rail 3 is running, based on this last rail 3, incline (Fig. 1b). As soon as this inclination has a minimum value which one method by pushing on the second Crosshead 1b enables the trolley 2a couples and the trolley 2 couples the roller cross head 1b back on in direction A to To continue at junction E without going into disconnect from this position. Then the Trolley 2b to point F where the Branch guide rail 3b, an angle of 90 ° forming, which merges into the secondary rail 3c runs parallel to the main guide rail 3-3a, around the Coupling roller cross head 1a. After done Coupling moves both trolleys 2, 2a synchronously the wall element 1 in the direction of the packaging area D (FIG. 1c). This first wall element is in the packaging area D. 1 of the trolleys 2, 2a at a distance from the wall 12 uncoupled which is approximately the distance between the vertical axis of the clutch disc 5 and the opposite end of the trolley. The following wall elements 1 which of the trolleys 2, 2b are moved into this same position, that the previously uncoupled wall elements 1 be moved towards wall 12, the Distance to this determined by the removal bracket 7 which is during the filing of the first Wall element 1 in the packaging area D with a stop the vertical wall 7b abuts the wall 12 (Fig. 4). During the removal of the wall elements 1 from the Packing area D enables this Removal bracket 7 a certain number of, close to the Wall 12 filed, wall elements in one, for the electromagnetic coupling device 4 accessible, Bring area.

    In der Praxis ist die Folge der Bewegungen für die erneute Zusammensetzung der Raumtrennwand umgekehrt zu jener für die Ablage der Wandelemente im Paketierungsbereich D.In practice, the consequence of the movements is for the renewed composition of the room partition reversed that for the storage of the wall elements in Packing area D.

    Natürlich können die selbstfahrenden Laufkatzen 2, 2a, 2b mit Sensoren bestückt sein welche zum Beispiel auf magnetische, optische und/oder mechanische Impulse ansprechen um den Motor und die Kupplungsvorrichtung zu steuern.Of course, the self-propelled trolleys 2, 2a, 2b can be equipped with sensors, for example on magnetic, optical and / or mechanical impulses respond to the engine and clutch device Taxes.

    Die Fig. 7 und 8 zeigen ein Ausführungsbeispiel um das Aus- und Einfahren 1f, 1v der Dichtungsleisten 1d, 1e eines Wandelementes 1 zu erreichen indem, mittels selbstfahrender Laufkatze 2, auf den Bolzen 6 des, am Querträger 1c des Rahmens des Wandelementes 1, horizontal verschiebbaren 1i Rollenkreuzkopfes 1a gewirkt wird. Während der Auffahrfase des Wandelementes 1 am dafür vorgesehenen Anschlag oder an einem vorher positionierten Wandelement, zwecks Zusammenfügen der Raumtrennwand, fährt die selbstfahrende Laufkatze 2 fort gegen diesen Anschlag oder gegen besagtes Wandelement zu schieben wodurch das Verschieben 1i der Lagerplatte 1g mit Rollen 1h und samt dem Rollenkreuzkopf 1a, längs dem horizontalen Querträger 1c bewirkt wird. Die Verschiebung 1i wird mittels Pleuel 1t, welches mit einem Ende in 1u an der Lagerplatte 1g und mit dem anderen Ende in 1s an einem Ende des Hebels 1p angelenkt ist, auf den Hebel 1p mit Drehlager 1q am Ende der Zugstange 1r für die untere Dichtungsleiste 1e, übertragen. Das Verschieben des Pleuels 1t bewirkt eine Drehung 1x des Hebels 1p um das Drehlager 1q wodurch das Ausfahren 1f der oberen Dichtungsleiste 1d mittels Zugstange In, welche in Im am entgegengesetzten Ende des Hebels 1p angelenkt ist und bewirkt gleichzeitig auch das Ausfahren 1v der unteren Dichtungsleiste 1e mittels Zugstange 1r. Die gegenläufigen Bewegungen 1f, 1v der Zugstangen In, 1r, welche mit den Dichtungsleisten 1d, 1e verbunden sind, sind mittels Arm 1l geführt und gegen Kräftekomponenten stabilisiert; dieser Arm ist in Im, zusammen mit der Zugstange 1n, an einem Ende des Hebels 1p angelenkt während der selbe Arm 1p mit seinem entgegengesetzten Ende in 1k am festen Lager 1j angelenkt ist welches, bei eingefahrenen Dichtungsleisten (Fig. 7) ungefähr mit der Zugstange 1r fluchtet. Bei ausgefahrenen Dichtungsleisten 1d, 1e hingegen fluchtet das Ende der Zugstange 1r ungefähr mit der Anlenkung 1q mit der Zugstange 1n welche diese Position infolge Überschreitung eines toten Punktes einnimmt, der durch das Fluchten zwischen der Achse der Zugstange 1r und den beiden Anlenkpunkten 1m, 1s am Hebel 1p bestimmt wird. Das Überwinden des besagten toten Punktes sichert die Beibehaltung der Ausfahrstellung der Dichtungsleisten 1d, 1e bei arretiertem, die Raumtrennwand bildendem, Wandelement. Um das Einfahren der Dichtungsleisten 1d, 1e und somit die Entriegelung des Wandelementes 1 zu erreichen, wirkt die am verschiebbaren Rollenkreuzkopf 1a angekuppelte selbstfahrende Laufkatze in Gegenrichtung um so das Verschieben 1i der Lagerplatte 1g, weg vom Rollenkreuzkopf 1b, bis zu einem vorbestimmten Anschlag, zu bewirken. Erfindungsgemäß kann der Betätigungsmechanismus für die Dichtungsleisten 1d, 1e eine odere mehrere Federn aufweisen welche geeignet sind das vollständige Einfahren der Dichtungsleisten, sobald der tote Punkt uberwunden ist, selbsttätig durch die Federwirkung bis zum Anschlag weiterzuführen. Der erfindungsgemäße Ein- und Ausfahrmechanismus kann auch bei bekannten Antriebsmechanismen (Kettenzug) für die an der Deckenführung verfahrbaren Wandelementen angewandt werden.7 and 8 show an embodiment of the Extend and retract 1f, 1v of the sealing strips 1d, 1e to achieve a wall element 1 by means of self-propelled trolley 2, on the bolt 6 of the, on Cross member 1c of the frame of the wall element 1, horizontally displaceable 1i roller cross head 1a is knitted. During the opening phase of the wall element 1 at the designated stop or at a previous one positioned wall element, for the purpose of joining the Room partition, drives the self-propelled trolley 2 away against this attack or against said To slide wall element thereby moving 1i the Bearing plate 1g with rollers 1h and the whole Roller cross head 1a, along the horizontal cross member 1c is effected. The shift 1i is determined by means of Connecting rod 1t, which has one end in 1u on the Bearing plate 1g and with the other end in 1s on one End of the lever 1p is articulated on the lever 1p Pivot bearing 1q at the end of the pull rod 1r for the lower one Sealing strip 1e, transferred. Moving the Connecting rod 1t causes the lever 1p to rotate 1x around it Pivot bearing 1q, which extends 1f of the upper one Sealing strip 1d by means of tie rod In, which in Im is articulated at the opposite end of the lever 1p and at the same time also causes the extension 1v of the lower sealing strip 1e using tie rod 1r. The opposite movements 1f, 1v of the tie rods In, 1r, which are connected to the sealing strips 1d, 1e, are guided by arm 1l and against force components stabilized; this arm is in Im, along with the Drawbar 1n, articulated at one end of the lever 1p while the same arm 1p with its opposite Is hinged at the end in 1k to the fixed bearing 1j which approximately with retracted sealing strips (Fig. 7) aligned with the pull rod 1r. When extended Sealing strips 1d, 1e, however, aligns the end of the Drawbar 1r approximately with the articulation 1q with the Drawbar 1n which this position as a result Exceeding a deadlock that passes through the alignment between the axis of the tie rod 1r and the two pivot points 1m, 1s on lever 1p becomes. Overcoming the said dead point ensures maintaining the extended position of the Sealing strips 1d, 1e when locked, the Room partition, wall element. To drive in the sealing strips 1d, 1e and thus the unlocking to achieve the wall element 1, acts on slidable roller cross head 1a coupled self-propelled trolley in the opposite direction so that Move 1i of the bearing plate 1g away from Crosshead 1b, up to a predetermined Stop to effect. According to the Actuation mechanism for the sealing strips 1d, 1e one or more springs which are suitable are the complete retraction of the sealing strips, as soon as the dead point is overcome, automatically to continue the spring action up to the stop.
