Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Führungswinkel für ein biegsames Band zur Übertragung von "Kraft um die Ecke", insbesondere Schub- oder Zug-Bewegungen bei Eckumlenkungen für Getriebe von Fenstern oder Türen. Auch ein Montageverfahren ist beansprucht.The invention relates to a guide angle for a flexible band for transmitting "force around the corner", in particular push or pull movements in Eckumlenkungen for transmission of windows or doors. Also an assembly process is claimed.

Führungswinkel oder Eckumlenkungen sind in verschiedenen Ausführungsformen bekannt, vgl. DE-U 7418 567 (GU ) und DE-A 20 10 407 (Siegenia ). Ein solcher Führungswinkel weist in der Regel drei Trag- und Führungsbereiche oder "Abschnitte" auf, von denen sich zwei über die beiden Schenkel des Winkels und einer über den die beiden Schenkel verbindenden Eckbereich erstreckt oder davon gebildet werden.Guide angles or corner deflections are known in various embodiments, cf. DE-U 7418 567 (GU ) and DE-A 20 10 407 (Siegenia ). Such a guide angle generally has three supporting and guiding areas or "sections", two of which extend over the two legs of the angle and over which connects the two legs corner region or are formed thereof.

Die genannte DE '567, die die Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 offenbart, hat in den beiden Schenkeln einstückig herausgeformte, winkelförmig ausgebildete Führungsstücke (dort mit 10, 11 bezeichnet). Sie bilden in Längserstreckung beabstandet einen Führungskanal, in welchen ein Stahlband eingelegt und geführt werden kann. Im Eckbereich wird durch einen bogenförmigen Stützstreifen, der zwischen den am weitesten innen liegenden Haltestücken beider Schenkel eingesetzt wird, eine Führungsbahn definiert, welche das Stahlband als dort genanntes "Umlenkglied" stützt und führt. Ein weiterer Stützstreifen, dort 9, liegt auf der anderen Seite des Umlenkglieds an, und zwischen den beiden Stützstreifen wird das Umlenkglied im Eckbereich entlang eines bogenförmigen Führungsabschnitts geführt. Bei der genannten DE '407 ist eine einstückige Führungsbahn im Eckbereich vorgesehen, welche dort wellenförmig ausgebildet ist, um die Reibung zu verringern. An den Schenkeln sind seitliche Stege (dort 4,5) mit randseitigen Durchbrüchen, dort 18, vorgesehen, welche das dort vorgesehene Stahlband im Stegbereich führen. Im Eckbereich ist den dortigen Figuren 1, 4 und 5 eine im Wesentlichen randseitig offene Führung vorgesehen, die einen Kanal (als Schlitzbogen) aufweist, der etwa doppelt so hoch ist, wie das Stahlband stark ist. Die Randseiten sind an einigen Stellen verschlossen, wozu die dort dargestellten Stege 17 dienen. Im Bereich der Ecke wird der randoffene Schlitzbogen durch die genannten Stege stückweise geschlossen, wobei die Stege über einen Bereich einmal auf der einen Seite und einmal auf der anderen Seite angeordnet sind, vgl. dort Seite 3, mittlerer Absatz, am Ende.The said DE '567 , which discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1, has in the two legs integrally formed, angularly shaped guide pieces (referred to therein with 10, 11). They form in the longitudinal direction spaced a guide channel, in which a steel strip can be inserted and guided. In the corner is defined by an arcuate support strip which is inserted between the innermost holding pieces of both legs, a guideway which supports the steel strip as there called "deflector" and leads. Another support strip, there 9, is located on the other side of the deflecting member, and between the two support strips, the deflecting member is guided in the corner region along an arcuate guide section. In the aforementioned DE '407 a one-piece guideway is provided in the corner region, which is wave-shaped there to reduce the friction. On the legs are lateral webs (there 4.5) with edge breakthroughs, there 18, provided which lead the steel strip provided there in the web area. In the corner is the local FIGS. 1 . 4 and 5 a substantially open edge guide is provided, which has a channel (as slot arc), which is about twice as high as the steel strip is strong. The edge sides are closed in some places, to which serve the webs 17 shown there. In the area of the corner of the open-edged slit arc is piecewise closed by said webs, wherein the webs are arranged over a range once on one side and once on the other side, see. there page 3, middle paragraph, at the end.

Aus CH-B 317 810 (Weidtmann ) ist einen Führungswinkel mit Führungsstücken bekannt.Out CH-B 317 810 (Weidtmann ) is known a guide angle with guide pieces.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Führungswinkel so weiter zu entwickeln, dass er bei geringem Aufwand eine sichere Führung auch in dem Eckbereich erlaubt und im Übrigen mit wenigen Teilen eine einfache Montage einer mit einem solchen Führungswinkel versehenden Eckumlenkung ermöglicht. Die Führung im Eckbereich soll reibungsarm sein.It is an object of the invention to develop a guide angle so that it allows safe operation in the corner area with little effort and, moreover, with a few parts allows easy mounting of a corner guide provided with such a guide angle. The guide in the corner area should be low-friction.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch Anspruch 1 oder 17 gelöst.This object is solved by claim 1 or 17.

Bei dieser Ausbildung ist über die ganze Führungslänge aller drei Trag- und Führungsbereiche eine gleichmäßige und sichere Führung des Bandes, insbesondere auch im Eckbereich möglich, ohne dass das die Kraft übertragende Band größeren Belastungen durch übermäßige Reibung bei seinen Bewegungen ausgesetzt ist.With this design, a uniform and secure guidance of the band is possible over the entire guide length of all three support and guide areas, in particular also in the corner area, without the band transmitting the force being exposed to greater loads due to excessive friction during its movements.

Wenigstens im Eckbereich ist eine bogenförmig verlaufende Trag- und Führungsfläche vorgesehen, entlang der die aufragenden Führungsstücke der sich gegenüberliegenden Reihen gegeneinander auf Lücke oder versetzt angeordnet sind. Damit wird es möglich, den Führungswinkel mit all seinen Einzelheiten als einstückiges Gussstück gemäß Anspruch 7 auszubilden. Durch die auf Lücke angeordneten Führungsstücke wird ein leichtes Entformen des Gussstückes bei seiner Herstellung erreicht.At least in the corner region an arcuate support and guide surface is provided along which the upstanding guide pieces of the opposite rows are arranged against each other in gap or offset. This makes it possible to form the guide angle with all its details as a one-piece casting according to claim 7. By arranged on gap guide pieces easy removal of the casting is achieved in its manufacture.

Als vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, wenn auf allen Trag- und Führungsbereichen des Führungswinkels die aufragenden Führungsstücke der beiden sich gegenüberliegenden Reihen durchgehend auf Lücke oder gegeneinander versetzt angeordnet sind (Anspruch 4).It has proven to be advantageous if the upstanding guide pieces of the two opposing rows are arranged continuously offset to gap or against each other on all support and guide areas of the guide angle (claim 4).

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungen ergeben sich aus den weiteren abhängigen Ansprüchen.Further advantageous embodiments will become apparent from the other dependent claims.

Eine Eckumlenkung kann mit einem Führungswinkel gemäß der beanspruchten Erfindung ausgestattet sind.A corner drive may be equipped with a guide bracket according to the claimed invention.

Es ergeben sich auch Vorteile nur weniger Montageteile und Montageschritte, bei dem Zusammenbau- oder Montageverfahren (Anspruch 17).There are also advantages only less mounting hardware and assembly steps, in the assembly or assembly process (claim 17).

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand schematischer Zeichnungen an Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.

Der Führungswinkel ist in den Figuren in der bevorzugten Ausführungsform als ein einstückiger Gussteil gezeigt.The guide angle is shown in the figures in the preferred embodiment as a one-piece casting.

Der Führungswinkel 1 weist zwei Schenkel 2 und 3 auf, die von dem gemeinsamen Eckbereich 4 ausgehen. Der Eckbereich ist aus vollem Material hergestellt und besitzt eine gegenüber den Innenflächen 5 der beiden Schenkel erhabene bogenförmige Trag- und Führungsfläche 8, die in Führungsrichtung nach beiden Schenkeln hin über abgeschrägte Flächen 8a und 8b in die Schenkel münden. Der Führungswinkel 1 bietet insgesamt drei zusammenhängende Trag- und Führungsbereiche 10a, 10b (bezogen auf die beiden Schenkel) und 10c (im Bereich der Ecke 4) dar. Entlang dieser Bereiche sind jeweils im Abstand von den Seitenrändern 2a, 3a des Winkels zwei sich gegenüberliegende Reihen von aufragenden Trag- und Führungsstücken 6 bzw. 7 angeordnet. Die Tragstücke 6 weisen auf den ihnen einander zugewandten Seiten im Abstand der Innenfläche des Winkels Führungsschlitze 6a auf. Im Eckbereich sind die aufragenden Führungsstücke 7 angeordnet, die in ihrem oberen Bereich nach innen ragende hakenförmige Ansätze 7a bilden, wobei deren Unterseite zusammen mit der bogenförmigen Führungsfläche 8 einen Führungskanal für das Band bilden, der an seinen Übergangsenden zu den Schenkeln in gleicher Höhe mündet, in der die Ebene der Führungsschlitze 6a liegt.The guide angle 1 has two legs 2 and 3, which emanate from the common corner region 4. The corner region is made of full material and has a relation to the inner surfaces 5 of the two legs raised arcuate support and guide surface 8, which open in the guide direction for both legs through beveled surfaces 8a and 8b in the legs. The guide angle 1 provides a total of three contiguous support and guide areas 10a, 10b (relative to the two legs) and 10c (in the region of the corner 4). Along these regions, two opposing rows of uprising supporting and guiding pieces 6 and 7 are respectively arranged at a distance from the side edges 2a, 3a of the angle. The support pieces 6 have on the sides facing each other at a distance from the inner surface of the angle guide slots 6a. In the corner region of the upstanding guide pieces 7 are arranged, which form in its upper region inwardly projecting hook-shaped projections 7a, the underside together with the arcuate guide surface 8 form a guide channel for the band, which opens at its transition ends to the legs at the same height, in which the plane of the guide slots 6a lies.

Es ist ersichtlich, dass die Führungsstücke 7 im Eckbereich in den beiden sich gegenüberliegenden Reihen gegeneinander versetzt oder auf Lücke angeordnet sind. Dabei finden sich in jeder Reihe im Eckbereich mindestens zwei Führungsstücke 7; durch die Lückenanordnung können auf der einen Seite mehr als auf der anderen Seite angeordnet sein.It can be seen that the guide pieces 7 are offset in the corner region in the two opposite rows against each other or arranged on a gap. At least two guide pieces 7 are found in each row in the corner area; through the gap arrangement can be arranged on one side more than on the other side.

Auch im Bereich der Schenkel sind die Führungsstücke der sich gegenüberliegenden Reihen gegeneinander versetzt oder auf Lücke angeordnet. Die Breite 52 ist, gemessen in Führungsrichtung, etwa gleich der Lücke oder des gegenseitigen Abstandes 51 zwischen zwei aufeinander in der gleichen Reihe folgenden Führungsstücken 6.Also in the region of the legs, the guide pieces of the opposite rows are offset from each other or arranged on a gap. The width 52 is, measured in the guide direction, approximately equal to the gap or the mutual distance 51 between two guide pieces 6 following one another in the same row.

Auf diese Weise ergeben sich für alle drei Trag- und Führungsbereiche 10a, 10b und 10c durchgehende Reihen von Führungsstücken, die gleichmäßig und gleichförmig beabstandet und gegenüber den Führungsstücken der gegenüberliegenden Reihe auf Lücke versetzt angeordnet sind.In this way, for all three support and guide portions 10a, 10b and 10c continuous rows of guide pieces, which are uniformly and uniformly spaced and offset from the guide pieces of the opposite row are arranged in gap.

Der eine Schenkel 2 weist außerhalb der zugehörigen Trag- und Führungsfläche 10a nahe seinem Ende eine mittig angeordnete Öffnung 12 auf. Der andere Schenkel 3 weist in ähnlichem Bereich dieses Schenkels ein in den Winkelbereich hinein aufragendes Führungsstück 13 auf, das ebenfalls mittig angeordnet ist und eine durchgehende Öffnung 13a besitzt. Weiterhin sind an den Enden der Schenkel gegenüber der Innenfläche 5 der Schenkel nach außen abgestuft versetzte Anschlussstücke 16,17 vorgesehen.The one leg 2 has outside the associated support and guide surface 10a near its end a centrally disposed opening 12. The other leg 3 has in a similar region of this leg a towering in the angular range Guide piece 13, which is also centrally located and has a through opening 13a. Furthermore, at the ends of the legs relative to the inner surface 5 of the legs outwardly stepped staggered connecting pieces 16,17 are provided.

Mit dem Führungsstück 1 nach Figur 1 kann auf einfache Weise eine Eckumlenkung zusammengesetzt werden. Die Teile einer solchen sind in Figur 2 gezeigt. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht das die Kräfte übertragende Band 30 aus drei Bändern 30a, 30b und 30c, die in vorbestimmtem Maße geringfügig in ihrer Länge unterschiedlich bemessen sind und an ihren Enden Öffnungen 31 bzw. 32 zum Vernieten mit Kupplungsstücken 20 bzw. 21 aufweisen. Jedes Kupplungsstück weist ein Nietende 20b, 21b und ein Kupplungsende 20a bzw. 21a für eine anzuschließende Treibstange auf. Ferner weist jedes Kupplungsstück über einen Teil seiner Länge einen Führungsschlitz 20c bzw. 21c auf.With the guide piece 1 after FIG. 1 can be easily assembled a corner drive. The parts of such are in FIG. 2 shown. In the illustrated embodiment, the forces-transmitting band 30 of three bands 30a, 30b and 30c, which are dimensioned differently to a predetermined extent slightly different in length and at their ends have openings 31 and 32 for riveting with coupling pieces 20 and 21 respectively. Each coupling piece has a rivet end 20b, 21b and a coupling end 20a or 21a for a connecting rod to be connected. Furthermore, each coupling piece over a part of its length on a guide slot 20c and 21c.

Die in Figur 2 gezeigten Teile sind in Figur 3 im Schnitt dargestellt und bilden eine montierte Eckumlenkung 50. Wie aus Figur 3 ersichtlich ist, weist derjenige Schenkel 3 im Trag- und Führungsbereich 10b eine mittig angeordnete Öffnung 14 auf, dessen Bedeutung weiter unter näher erläutert wird.In the FIG. 2 parts shown are in FIG. 3 shown in section and form a mounted corner drive 50th Like out FIG. 3 can be seen, the one leg 3 in the support and guide portion 10b has a centrally disposed opening 14, the meaning of which will be explained in more detail below.

Figur 4 zeigt die Eckumlenkung im montierten Zustand in Seitenansicht. Die beweglichen Teile befinden sich in der durch den Pfeil angedeuteten Endstellung. Figur 5 zeigt dazu einen Blick - bezogen auf Figur 4 - von oben. Man sieht verdeckt durch das Band 30 angedeutet die in dem Schenkel 3 angeordnete Öffnung 14. Ferner sieht man, dass der Längsschlitz 21c des Kupplungsstücks 21 in der in Figur 4 gezeigten Stellung mit seinem Ende an dem Führungsstück 13 anliegt. FIG. 4 shows the corner drive in the mounted state in side view. The moving parts are in the direction indicated by the arrow end position. FIG. 5 shows a look - related to FIG. 4 - from above. It can be seen hidden by the band 30 indicated the disposed in the leg 3 opening 14. Further, it can be seen that the longitudinal slot 21c of the coupling piece 21 in the in FIG. 4 shown position abuts with its end on the guide piece 13.

In den Figuren 5a bis 5c sind Schnitte durch den Schenkel 3 gezeigt, und zwar in den in Figur 5 angegebenen Ebenen G, H und J. Die Darstellung dient zur Veranschaulichung der sehr einfachen Montage einer Eckumlenkung mit Hilfe des Führungswinkels 1.In the FIGS. 5a to 5c Sections are shown by the leg 3, in the in FIG. 5 Planned levels G, H and J. The illustration serves to illustrate the very simple assembly of a corner deflection by means of the guide angle. 1

Zur Montage wird zunächst das aus einem oder mehreren, z.B. aus drei Bändern gemäß Figur 2 gebildete Bandpaket (auch: Bänderpaket) mit Hilfe des Nietansatzes 20b des Kupplungsstücks 20 an dem Kupplungsstück 20 festgenietet. Danach werden die entgegengesetzten Enden des Bandes 30 vom Ende des Schenkels 2 des Führungswinkels 1 her in den Trag- und Führungsabschnitt 10a zwischen den Führungsstücken 6 eingeführt und über den Trag- und Führungsabschnitt 10c des Eckbereichs 4 in den Bereich 10b des Winkels 3 eingeschoben, und zwar so weit, dass der Nietansatz 21b des anderen Kupplungsstücks 21, das mit seinem Führungsschlitz 21c über den Führungsansatz 13 gefädelt worden ist, in die Öffnung 31 des Bandes oder Bandpakets eingreifen kann und mit diesem Loch in Eingriff gebracht wird. Diese Position ist in Figur 5a gezeigt, Schnitt G-G.For assembly, the first of one or more, for example, from three bands according to FIG. 2 formed band package (also: band package) riveted by means of the rivet attachment 20 b of the coupling piece 20 to the coupling piece 20. Thereafter, the opposite ends of the band 30 are inserted from the end of the leg 2 of the guide angle 1 forth in the support and guide portion 10 a between the guide pieces 6 and inserted over the support and guide portion 10 c of the corner portion 4 in the portion 10 b of the angle 3, and although so far that the rivet 21b of the other coupling piece 21, which has been threaded with its guide slot 21c on the guide projection 13, can engage in the opening 31 of the belt or tape package and is brought into engagement with this hole. This position is in FIG. 5a shown, cut GG.

Darauf wird die Einheit aus den beiden Kupplungsstücken 20,21 und dem Band innerhalb des Führungswinkels so verschoben, dass der Nietansatz 21b des Kupplungsstücks 21 mit der Öffnung 14 im Schenkel 3 des Führungswinkels in Fluchtung gelangt, wie dies in Figur 5b dargestellt ist, Schnitt H-H.Then the unit of the two coupling pieces 20,21 and the band within the guide angle is shifted so that the rivet 21b of the coupling piece 21 with the opening 14 in the leg 3 of the guide angle comes into alignment, as in FIG. 5b is shown, section HH.

Daraufhin wird mit einem passenden Werkzeug der Nietansatz 21 auf der Rückseite des Bandes entsprechend verformt, um eine feste Nietverbindung zwischen dem Kupplungsstück 21 und dem Band 30 auch an diesem Ende des Bandes zu erhalten. Der vernietete Zustand ist aus Figur 5c als 21b erkennbar. Damit ist bereits die Montage der Elemente der Eckumlenkung 50 beendet.Then, with a suitable tool, the rivet 21 on the back of the band is deformed accordingly to obtain a fixed rivet connection between the coupling piece 21 and the band 30 also at this end of the band. The riveted state is off FIG. 5c recognizable as 21b. Thus, the assembly of the elements of the corner 50 is already completed.

Es ist ersichtlich, dass insgesamt nur wenige Teile und vor allem wenige Montageschritte benötigt werden. Das Band 30 ist in dem Führungswinkel zuverlässig gegen jedes Ausbiegen auch unter Last geführt, ohne dass die Bandränder einer übergroßen Reibung unterliegen.It can be seen that in total only a few parts and above all a few assembly steps are needed. The band 30 is reliably guided in the guide angle against any bending out, even under load, without the band edges being subject to excessive friction.

Durch die Bemessung der Führungsstücke 6 und 7 und ihre Anordnung wird erreicht, dass über die ganze Länge des Bandes das Band wenigstens auf einer Randseite in der Führung gehalten ist.By the design of the guide pieces 6 and 7 and their arrangement is achieved that over the entire length of the tape the tape is held at least on one edge side in the guide.

Die gegeneinander versetzten Führungsstücke 6 und 7 sorgen dafür, dass der Führungswinkel als Gussstück hergestellt werden kann und eine leichte Entformung des Gussstückes auch im Eckbereich 4 sichergestellt ist. Die Ausbildung sorgt dafür, dass die Eckumlenkung vergleichsweise leichtgängig ist und daher das Getriebe nur entsprechend geringere Betätigungskräfte benötigt.The mutually offset guide pieces 6 and 7 ensure that the guide angle can be produced as a casting and easy removal of the cast piece is ensured in the corner 4. The training ensures that the Eckumlenkung is relatively smooth and therefore the transmission requires only correspondingly lower actuation forces.

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Führungswinkel für ein biegbares Band (30) zur über Eck laufenden Übertragung von Kraft (Schub- und/oder Zug-Bewegungen) bei einer Eckumlenkung (50). Er umfasst drei Trag- und Führungsbereiche (10a,10b,10c). Im Eckbereich (4) und wenigstens auf Teillängen der von dem Eckbereich ausgehenden beiden Schenkel (2,3) des Führungswinkels (1). Beiderseits aller drei Tragabschnitte verlaufen Reihen von im Abstand angeordneten Führungsstücken (6,7) für das biegbare Band (30), die von Innenflächen (5,8) der beiden Schenkel und des Eckbereiches aufragen.The invention relates to a guide angle for a bendable band (30) for transmitting cornering power (push and / or pull movements) at a corner drive (50). It comprises three support and guide areas (10a, 10b, 10c). In the corner region (4) and at least at part lengths of the two legs (2, 3) of the guide angle (1) starting from the corner region. On both sides of all three support sections run rows of spaced guide pieces (6,7) for the bendable band (30), which protrude from inner surfaces (5,8) of the two legs and the corner region.
