Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Antriebssystem zum Antrieb und zur Führung eines Wandelementes, insbesondere für ein Raumtrennwandsystem, mit einer Wageneinheit, die in einer Führungsschiene längsbeweglich geführt ist, wobei die Wageneinheit einen Rollenwagen aufweist, der innerhalb der Führungsschiene angeordnet ist und eine Antriebseinheit aufweist, die unterhalb der Führungsschiene angeordnet ist.The present invention relates to a drive system for driving and guiding a wall element, in particular for a room partitioning system, comprising a carriage unit, which is longitudinally movably guided in a guide rail, wherein the carriage unit comprises a roller carriage, which is arranged within the guide rail and has a drive unit which is arranged below the guide rail.

Antriebssysteme zum Antrieb und zur Führung eines Wandelementes für Raumtrennwandsysteme sind hinreichend bekannt. Die Antriebssysteme verfügen über Wageneinheiten mit jeweiligen Antrieben, so dass die Wageneinheiten selbsttätig in der Führungsschiene verfahren können. Hierfür sind Wageneinheiten mit verschiedenen Ausbildungen bekannt, die zumeist einen Rollenwagen aufweisen, der sich innerhalb der Führungsschiene befindet, wobei an diesem eine Antriebseinheit angebracht ist, in der wenigstens der Antriebsmotor und optional ein Getriebe aufgenommen ist.Drive systems for driving and guiding a wall element for room dividing wall systems are well known. The drive systems have carriage units with respective drives, so that the carriage units can move automatically in the guide rail. For this purpose, carriage units are known with different configurations, which usually have a roller carriage, which is located within the guide rail, wherein at this a drive unit is mounted, in which at least the drive motor and optionally a transmission is added.

Aus der EP 0 959 219 A2 ist ein Antriebssystem zum Antrieb und zur Führung eines Wandelementes für ein Raumtrennwandsystem offenbart. Hierin ist eine Wageneinheit vorgesehen, die über Laufrollen in der Führungsschiene längsbeweglich aufgenommen ist, wobei die Laufrollen über eine Antriebseinheit angetrieben werden. Um eine Führung der Wageneinheit innerhalb der Führungsschiene und insbesondere innerhalb von Abzweigungen mehrerer Führungsschienen zu ermöglichen, sind Führungsrollen vorgesehen, die oberseitig des Rollenwagens der Wageneinheit in vorgegebenen Führungsbahnen innerhalb der Führungsschiene geführt sind. Für die Führung sind aufwendige Führungsgeometrien innerhalb der Führungsschiene erforderlich, wodurch die Montage, die Demontage und Wartungsarbeiten erheblich erschwert sind. Aufgrund der oberseitigen Anordnung der Führungseinrichtung ist es erforderlich, erforderliche Stromabnehmer und zugeordnete Stromschienen seitlich neben dem Verfahrweg der Wageneinheit anzuordnen, wodurch die Konstruktionsmaße des Antriebssystems erheblich vergrößert sind.From the EP 0 959 219 A2 a drive system for driving and guiding a wall element for a room dividing wall system is disclosed. Herein, a carriage unit is provided which is longitudinally movably received on rollers in the guide rail, wherein the rollers are driven by a drive unit. In order to allow guidance of the carriage unit within the guide rail and in particular within branches of a plurality of guide rails, guide rollers are provided, the upper side of the roller carriage Carriage unit are guided in predetermined guideways within the guide rail. Complex guide geometries within the guide rail are required for the guide, which makes assembly, disassembly and maintenance considerably more difficult. Due to the upper-side arrangement of the guide device, it is necessary to arrange required pantograph and associated busbars laterally adjacent to the travel path of the carriage unit, whereby the design dimensions of the drive system are considerably increased.

Aus der DE 199 32 891 A1 ist ein Antriebssystem einer Wageneinheit für ein Raumtrennwandsystem bekannt, das über mehrere Führungsrollen verfügt und innerhalb der Führungsschiene weitere Führungseinrichtungen erforderlich sind, die mit den Führungsrollen zusammenwirken. Auch diese konstruktive Ausführung der Wageneinheit, die innerhalb der Führungsschiene längsbeweglich aufgenommen ist und zum Verfahren der Wandelemente dient, benötigt erheblichen Bauraum, so dass die Führungsschiene erheblich größere Abmessungen erfordert. Insbesondere ist es wünschenswert, das Höhenmaß des Antriebssystems zu minimieren, so dass eine verbesserte Grundstruktur des Antriebssystems und insbesondere der Wageneinheit erforderlich ist.From the DE 199 32 891 A1 a drive system of a carriage unit for a room partition wall system is known which has a plurality of guide rollers and within the guide rail further guide means are required, which cooperate with the guide rollers. Also, this structural design of the carriage unit, which is taken longitudinally movable within the guide rail and used to process the wall elements, requires considerable space, so that the guide rail requires considerably larger dimensions. In particular, it is desirable to minimize the height dimension of the drive system, so that an improved basic structure of the drive system and in particular the carriage unit is required.

In der DE 9214915 U1 ist ein Getriebemotor direkt am Laufwagen angeordnet und wirkt direkt mit den Stromabnehmern zusammen. Je nach Gewicht der Trennwand müssen die Antriebskomponenten entsprechend groß ausgelegt werden, wodurch die gesamte Anordnung, die in der Führungsschiene integriert ist, groß wird. Eine Wartung des Antriebes kann nur erfolgen, wenn die Führungsschiene geöffnet und die gesamte Trennwand abgenommen wird.In the DE 9214915 U1 a gear motor is arranged directly on the carriage and interacts directly with the pantographs. Depending on the weight of the partition, the drive components must be designed to be large, whereby the entire arrangement, which is integrated in the guide rail, becomes large. A maintenance of the drive can only be done when the guide rail is opened and the entire partition is removed.

Die EP 0953706 A1 beschreibt eine Schiebestapelwand, bei der der Antriebsmotor unterhalb der Laufschiene in horizontaler Anordnung im oberen Profil der Schiebewand angeordnet ist. Damit wird das Profil, dass die Glasscheibe klemmt und den Motor aufnehmen soll, sehr hoch, was die optische Erscheinung der Trennwand beeinträchtigt und diese sehr klobig erscheinen lässt.The EP 0953706 A1 describes a sliding stack wall, in which the drive motor is arranged below the running rail in a horizontal arrangement in the upper profile of the sliding wall. This will change the profile The glass plate is stuck and the engine is to record, very high, which affects the visual appearance of the partition and make it seem very clunky.

Die US 2006/0144529 zeigt die sichtbare Anordnung eines Antriebes auf einer Faltschiebetür, wobei je ein Antriebsmotor einseitig oder beidseitig des Türblattes einen Reibradantrieb antreibt.The US 2006/0144529 shows the visible arrangement of a drive on a Faltschiebetür, each one drive motor on one side or on both sides of the door leaf drives a friction wheel drive.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Antriebssystem zum Antrieb und zur Führung eines Wandelementes für ein Raumtrennwandsystem zu schaffen, das eine verbesserte Konstruktion aufweist und geringere Abmessungen ermöglicht.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a drive system for driving and guiding a wall element for a room dividing wall system, which has an improved construction and allows smaller dimensions.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einem Antriebssystem mit einer in einer Führungsschiene längsbeweglich geführten Wageneinheit gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 in Verbindung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved starting from a drive system with a longitudinally movably guided in a guide rail carriage unit according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung schließt die technische Lehre ein, dass im Übergang zwischen dem Rollenwagen und der Antriebseinheit eine Führungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, die mit der Führungsschiene zur Führung der Wageneinheit zusammenwirkt.The invention includes the technical teaching that a guide means is provided in the transition between the roller carriage and the drive unit, which cooperates with the guide rail for guiding the carriage unit.

Die Erfindung geht dabei von dem Gedanken aus, dass die Grundstruktur der Wageneinheit aus drei Komponenten gebildet ist, nämlich aus dem Rollenwagen, der innerhalb der Führungsschiene aufgenommen und in dieser geführt ist, der Führungseinrichtung und der Antriebseinheit. Die Führungseinrichtung ist dabei zwischen dem Rollenwagen und der Antriebseinheit angeordnet, wobei der Querschnitt der Führungsschiene C-förmig ausgeführt ist und folglich in der C-Öffnung eine Schlitzführung bildet, durch die sich die Führungseinrichtung hindurch erstreckt und die Verbindung zwischen dem inneren Rollenwagen und der äußeren Antriebseinheit bildet. Durch diese konstruktive Gestaltung der Wageneinheit ist der Bauraum minimiert, da die Führungseinrichtung nicht innerhalb des kastenartigen Hohlraums der Führungsschiene integriert werden muss.The invention is based on the idea that the basic structure of the carriage unit is formed from three components, namely from the roller carriage, which is received within the guide rail and guided in this, the guide device and the drive unit. The guide device is arranged between the roller carriage and the drive unit, wherein the cross section of the guide rail is C-shaped and thus forms a slot guide in the C-opening, through which the guide means extends and the Connection between the inner roller carriage and the outer drive unit forms. Due to this structural design of the carriage unit of the installation space is minimized, since the guide device does not have to be integrated within the box-like cavity of the guide rail.

Vorteilhafterweise weist die Führungseinrichtung zumindest eine und bevorzugt zwei Führungsrollen auf, die zur Führung der Wageneinheit auf seitlich an die Führungseinrichtung angrenzende Führungsflächen abrollen. Weist die Führungseinrichtung zwei Führungsrollen auf, wird der Rollenwagen in Längsrichtung der Führungsschiene geführt. Besitzt die Führungsschiene eine Krümmung oder durchläuft die Wageneinheit eine Abzweigung, so kann der Rollenwagen durch die Führung mittels der zwei Führungsrollen dem Verlauf der Führungsschiene folgen. Die Führungsrollen wälzen gegen die Führungsflächen ab, die an der Führungsschiene ausgebildet sind und sich im unteren Bereich befinden. Die Führungsschiene bildet ein kastenartiges Hohlprofil mit C-förmigem Querschnitt und folglich mit einer unterseitigen Öffnung, durch die sich die Führungseinrichtung hindurch erstreckt. Die Wageneinheit ist drehbar am Wandelement angeordnet, wobei das Wandelement durch zwei Wageneinheiten in der Führungsschiene geführt sein kann, von denen eine Wageneinheit angetrieben ist. Die zweite Wageneinheit dient lediglich der Führung des Wandelementes innerhalb der Führungsschiene ohne Antriebsfunktion. Die Wageneinheiten sind daher drehbar an dem Wandelement angeordnet, so dass der Rollenwagen dem Krümmungsverlauf der Führungsschiene folgen kann. Durchquert die Wageneinheit eine Weiche, so sind Mittel erforderlich, die derart mit der Führungseinrichtung zusammenwirken, dass die Verfahrrichtung der Wageneinheit der gewünschten Richtung entspricht. Hierzu können die Führungsschienen am Ort der Weiche Klappelemente aufweisen, die nach Art einer Schienenweiche die Richtung der Weiterfahrt der Wageneinheit vorgeben können.Advantageously, the guide device has at least one and preferably two guide rollers, which roll for guiding the carriage unit on laterally adjacent to the guide means guide surfaces. If the guide device has two guide rollers, the roller carriage is guided in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail. If the guide rail has a curvature or if the carriage unit passes through a branch, then the roller carriage can follow the course of the guide rail through the guide by means of the two guide rollers. The guide rollers roll against the guide surfaces which are formed on the guide rail and located in the lower area. The guide rail forms a box-like hollow profile with a C-shaped cross-section and consequently with a lower-side opening, through which the guide device extends. The carriage unit is rotatably mounted on the wall element, wherein the wall element may be guided by two carriage units in the guide rail, of which a carriage unit is driven. The second carriage unit only serves to guide the wall element within the guide rail without a drive function. The carriage units are therefore rotatably arranged on the wall element, so that the roller carriage can follow the curvature of the guide rail. If the carriage unit passes through a switch, means are required which interact with the guide device such that the direction of travel of the carriage unit corresponds to the desired direction. For this purpose, the guide rails may have folding elements at the point of the switch, which in the manner of a rail switch can specify the direction of the drive of the carriage unit.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Wageneinheit weist einen Zwischensteg auf, der sich zwischen dem Rollenwagen und der Antriebseinheit erstreckt. Damit kann eine mechanische Verbindung geschaffen werden, um die Antriebseinheit mit dem Rollenwagen zu verbinden. Ferner erstrecken sich durch die Führungseinrichtung und den Rollenwagen wenigstens zwei Verbindungselemente, auf denen die Führungsrollen jeweils drehbar aufgenommen sind. Alternativ können mehrere Zwischenstege vorgesehen sein, auf denen ebenfalls eine drehbare Lagerung der Führungsrollen ermöglicht ist. Die Verbindungselemente können hingegen ebenfalls zur mechanischen Verbindung zwischen dem Rollenwagen und der Antriebseinheit dienen. Der Rollenwagen kann aus einem Oberteil und einem Unterteil bestehen, wobei sich der Zwischensteg als Anformung am Unterteil in Richtung zur Antriebseinheit hin erstreckt. Vorzugsweise sind die Verbindungselemente über ein Gewinde in dem Oberteil des Rollenwagens eingeschraubt, um den Oberteil und den Unterteil des Rollenwagen aufeinander zu fügen, und um neben der drehbaren Aufnahme der Führungsrollen die Antriebseinheit am Rollenwagen zu befestigen.A further embodiment of the carriage unit has a gutter extending between the roller carriage and the drive unit. Thus, a mechanical connection can be created to connect the drive unit with the roller carriage. Furthermore, extending through the guide means and the roller carriage at least two connecting elements on which the guide rollers are each rotatably received. Alternatively, a plurality of intermediate webs may be provided, on which also a rotatable mounting of the guide rollers is made possible. By contrast, the connecting elements can likewise serve for the mechanical connection between the roller carriage and the drive unit. The roller carriage may consist of an upper part and a lower part, wherein the intermediate web extends as Anformung on the lower part in the direction of the drive unit. Preferably, the connecting elements are screwed through a thread in the upper part of the roller carriage to add the upper part and the lower part of the roller carriage to each other, and to attach next to the rotatable receiving the guide rollers, the drive unit on the roller carriage.

Der Rollenwagen weist zumindest einen Stromabnehmer auf, der mit wenigstens einer zugeordneten und in der Führungsschiene eingebrachten Stromschiene stromübertragend zusammenwirkt, um einen in der Antriebseinheit aufgenommenen Antriebsmotor zu speisen, der zum Verfahren des Wandelementes in der Führungsschiene dient. Die Stromschienen sind in Längsrichtung innerhalb der Führungsschiene innenliegend und oberseitig angebracht. Verfährt der Rollenwagen in Längsrichtung der Führungsschiene, so kann ein dauerhafter Stromkontakt zwischen dem Stromabnehmer und der Stromschiene aufrecht erhalten werden. Der Stromabnehmer dient sowohl zur Übertragung der Leistungsversorgung des Antriebsmotors als auch zur Übertragung notwendiger Steuersignale. Der Stromabnehmer ist über Führungsstifte aufgenommen, wobei die Führungsstifte in den Verbindungselementen längsbeweglich geführt sind. Mittels Federelementen werden die Führungsstifte gegen die Stromschienen federbelastet in Kontakt gebracht. Die Stromabnehmer sind 2-fach federvorgespannt, um einen Doppelkontakt zwischen jedem Stromabnehmer gegen eine zugeordnete Stromschiene sicherzustellen. Die Verbindungselemente nehmen folglich mehrere Funktionen war. Einerseits dienen sie der Montage des Oberteils und des Unterteils des Rollenwagens, und zugleich wird die Verbindung zwischen dem Rollenwagen und der Antriebseinheit ermöglicht. Andererseits können die Führungsrollen der Führungseinrichtung über Rollenlager auf den Verbindungselementen drehbar aufgenommen. Neben diesen Funktionen wird zugleich der Stromabnehmer über die Verbindungselemente im Rollenwagen aufgenommen, so dass die Verbindungselemente als zentrale Strukturelemente der erfindungsgemäßen Wageneinheit wirken.The roller carriage has at least one current collector, which cooperates with at least one associated and introduced in the guide rail power rail current transmitting to receive a recorded in the drive unit drive motor, which serves for moving the wall element in the guide rail. The busbars are mounted longitudinally within the guide rail inside and top side. Moves the roller carriage in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail, so a permanent power contact between the pantograph and the busbar can be maintained. The current collector serves both to transmit the power supply of the drive motor and to transmit the necessary control signals. The pantograph is over Guide pins received, wherein the guide pins are guided longitudinally movable in the connecting elements. By means of spring elements, the guide pins are brought spring-loaded against the busbars in contact. The pantographs are spring-biased twice to ensure double contact between each pantograph against an associated busbar. The fasteners thus take several functions. On the one hand, they serve to mount the upper part and the lower part of the roller carriage, and at the same time the connection between the roller carriage and the drive unit is made possible. On the other hand, the guide rollers of the guide means can be rotatably received on roller bearings on the connecting elements. In addition to these functions, the pantograph is at the same time received via the connecting elements in the roller carriage, so that the connecting elements act as central structural elements of the carriage unit according to the invention.

Der Rollenwagen besitzt eine erste elektrische Einheit, die wenigstens eine Schnittstelle zum Stromabnehmer bildet. Eine zweite elektrische Einheit ist in der Antriebseinheit aufgenommen, die wenigstens eine Schnittstelle zum Antriebsmotor bildet. Sowohl die erste als auch die zweite elektrische Einheit ist in Gestalt einer jeweiligen elektrischen Platine ausgeführt, wobei sich eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen den elektrischen Einheiten erstreckt. Diese ist über Halterungen an der Wageneinheit befestigt, wobei sich eine erste Halterung am Rollenwagen befindet und eine zweite Halterung an der Antriebseinheit angebracht ist. Die elektrische Verbindung kann ein Kabel oder ein Kabelstrang sein, der seitlich zu den Führungsrollen verläuft. Verfährt die Wageneinheit innerhalb der Führungsschiene, so kann die elektrische Verbindung nicht mit der Führungsschiene in Kontakt geraten, so dass eine Beschädigung der elektrischen Verbindung ausgeschlossen werden kann.The roller carriage has a first electrical unit which forms at least one interface with the current collector. A second electrical unit is accommodated in the drive unit, which forms at least one interface to the drive motor. Both the first and the second electrical unit is in the form of a respective electrical circuit board, wherein an electrical connection extends between the electrical units. This is attached via brackets to the carriage unit, wherein a first bracket is located on the roller carriage and a second bracket is attached to the drive unit. The electrical connection may be a cable or a harness extending laterally to the guide rollers. Moving the carriage unit within the guide rail, the electrical connection can not come into contact with the guide rail, so that damage to the electrical connection can be excluded.

Die Führungsschiene ist an der Decke eines Raumes angebracht, wobei sich der Antriebsmotor in vertikaler Richtung unterseitig der Führungsschiene hinweg erstreckt und gemeinsam mit der zweiten elektrischen Einheit in einem Tragblech aufgenommen ist. Die Erstreckungsrichtung des Antriebsmotors in vertikaler Richtung entspricht der Anordnung der Rotationsachse der Motorwelle, so dass sich diese senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung des Rollenwagens innerhalb der Führungsschiene befindet. Der Antriebsmotor weist im Wesentlichen eine zylinderförmige Grundstruktur auf, um die sich das Tragblech herum erstreckt. Hingegen ist das Tragblech U-förmig gebogen ausgeführt und mit einer U-Öffnung versehen, die vertikal nach unten gerichtet angeordnet ist. Innerhalb des U-förmigen Tragbleches ist neben dem Antriebsmotor ferner die zweite elektrische Einheit benachbart zum Antriebsmotor angeordnet und am Tragblech befestigt.The guide rail is mounted on the ceiling of a room, wherein the drive motor extends in the vertical direction below the guide rail away and is taken together with the second electrical unit in a support plate. The extension direction of the drive motor in the vertical direction corresponds to the arrangement of the axis of rotation of the motor shaft, so that it is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the roller carriage within the guide rail. The drive motor essentially has a cylindrical basic structure around which the support plate extends. By contrast, the support plate is U-shaped bent and provided with a U-opening, which is arranged directed vertically downwards. Within the U-shaped support plate, in addition to the drive motor, the second electrical unit is further arranged adjacent to the drive motor and attached to the support plate.

Zum Antrieb des Rollenwagens können verschiedene Getriebekonzepte vorgesehen sein, um den oberhalb der Führungseinrichtung angeordneten Rollenwagen durch den unterhalb der Führungseinrichtung angeordneten Antriebsmotor anzutreiben. Ein erstes Getriebekonzept sieht vor, dass sich vom Antriebsmotor in den Rollenwagen hinein eine durch den Zwischensteg hindurch geführte Antriebswelle erstreckt, wobei der Rollenwagen wenigstens eine auf zumindest einer Rollenwagenachse gelagerte Laufrolle aufweist, die über ein Schneckenradgetriebe zwischen der Antriebswelle und der Rollenwagenachse antreibbar ist. Ein Schneckenradgetriebe bildet eine einfache Getriebeform, die lediglich eine Verzahnungsstufe umfasst. Die Verzahnung des Schneckenradgetriebes kann derart ausgelegt sein, dass bei einer fehlenden Bestromung des Antriebsmotors eine manuelle Bewegung der Wandelemente und folglich ein Verfahren des Rollenwagens innerhalb der Führungsschiene möglich ist. Der vertikal angeordnete und im Tragblech aufgenommene Antriebsmotor kann konzentrisch zur Antriebswelle angeordnet sein, und die Schnecke des Schneckenradgetriebes sitzt direkt auf der Motorwelle.To drive the roller carriage, various transmission concepts can be provided in order to drive the roller carriage arranged above the guide device through the drive motor arranged below the guide device. A first transmission concept envisages that a drive shaft guided through the intermediate web extends from the drive motor into the roller carriage, wherein the roller carriage has at least one roller mounted on at least one roller carriage axis which can be driven via a worm gear between the drive shaft and the roller carriage axis. A worm gear forms a simple gear shape, which includes only one gear stage. The toothing of the worm gear can be designed such that in the absence of energization of the drive motor, a manual movement of the wall elements and consequently a method of the roller carriage within the guide rail is possible. The vertically arranged and received in the support plate drive motor may be arranged concentrically to the drive shaft, and the worm of the worm gear is seated directly on the motor shaft.

Ein weiteres Getriebekonzept zwischen dem Antriebsmotor und dem Rollenwagen umfasst ein Stirnradgetriebe, wobei der Antriebsmotor einen seitlichen Versatz zur Antriebswelle aufweist. Der Antriebsmotor selbst kann am Gehäuse des Stirnradgetriebes befestigt sein, wobei das Stirnradgetriebe und der Antriebsmotor auch eine mechanische Einheit bilden können.Another transmission concept between the drive motor and the roller carriage comprises a spur gear, wherein the drive motor has a lateral offset to the drive shaft. The drive motor itself can be attached to the housing of the spur gear, wherein the spur gear and the drive motor can also form a mechanical unit.

Vorteilhafterweise bildet das Stirnradgetriebe die erste Getriebestufe zwischen dem Antriebsmotor und dem Rollenwagen, wobei zwischen der Antriebswelle und der Rollenwagenachse ein Winkelgetriebe angeordnet ist, um eine zweite Getriebestufe zu bilden. Das Winkelgetriebe kann als Kronenverzahnung, als Kegelradverzahnung oder als sonstige Verzahnung ausgeführt sein, um die Drehbewegung der vertikal verlaufenden Antriebswelle auf die horizontal verlaufende und quer zur Verfahrrichtung des Rollenwagens innerhalb der Führungsschiene angeordnete Rollenwagenachse zu übertragen. Außenseitig sind an der Rollenwagenachse Laufrollen gelagert, von denen wenigstens eine durch den Antriebsmotor angetrieben wird. Der Rollenwagen kann ferner eine Rollenwagenachse mit zwei Laufrollen aufweisen, wobei eine der Laufrollen auf einer Seite des Rollenwagens angetrieben ist und die gegenüberliegend angeordnete zweite Laufrolle freidrehend gelagert ist. Hierdurch werden zwei Ausführungsformen des Rollenwagens aufgezeigt, wobei eine erste Ausführungsform zwei Laufrollen auf einer Rollenwagenachse aufweist, von denen nur eine Laufrolle angetrieben wird. Die gegenüberliegende Laufrolle ist dabei frei drehbar. Die zweite Ausführungsform des Rollenwagens weist zwei Rollenwagenachsen auf, die jeweils zwei Laufrollen aufnehmen. Zwei Laufrollen auf einer Seite des Rollenwagens sind dabei angetrieben, wobei die gegenüberliegend angeordneten zwei weiteren Rollen freidrehend gelagert sind. Hierdurch wird die Problematik vermieden; dass der Rollenwagen bei einer Krümmung in der Führungsschiene zum Geradeauslauf neigt. Durch einseitig angetriebene Laufrollen kann der Rollenwagen einer Krümmung in der Führungsschiene folgen, ohne dass dies zu einem Verklemmen oder einem Verkanten des Rollenwagens in der Führungsschiene führt. Alternativ können alle vier Laufrollen angetrieben werden, wobei die Rollenwagenachse ein Differenzial aufweist, um die Differenz der Drehgeschwindigkeit einer in einer Krümmung innenliegenden Laufrolle im Vergleich zu einer außenliegenden Laufrolle auszugleichen.Advantageously, the spur gear forms the first gear stage between the drive motor and the roller carriage, wherein between the drive shaft and the roller carriage axis, an angle gear is arranged to form a second gear stage. The bevel gear can be designed as a crown toothing, as bevel gear teeth or as other toothing to transmit the rotational movement of the vertically extending drive shaft to the horizontally extending and transverse to the direction of travel of the roller carriage within the guide rail roller carriage axis. On the outside of the roller carriage axle rollers are mounted, of which at least one is driven by the drive motor. The roller carriage may further comprise a roller carriage axle with two rollers, wherein one of the rollers is driven on one side of the roller carriage and the oppositely disposed second roller is mounted freely rotatably. As a result, two embodiments of the roller carriage are shown, wherein a first embodiment has two rollers on a roller carriage axis, of which only one roller is driven. The opposite roller is freely rotatable. The second embodiment of the roller carriage has two roller carriage axles, each receiving two rollers. Two rollers on one side of the roller carriage are driven thereby, wherein the oppositely arranged two further rollers are mounted freely rotatably. This avoids the problem; that the roller carriage tends to straight ahead at a curvature in the guide rail. By unilaterally driven rollers, the roller carriage can follow a curvature in the guide rail, without this leading to jamming or tilting of the roller carriage in the guide rail. Alternatively, all four rollers may be driven with the roller carriage axle having a differential for compensating for the difference in rotational speed of a curved inner roller relative to an outer roller.

Vorliegend wird ein Antriebssystem mit einer Wageneinheit geschaffen, die aufgrund ihrer Grundstruktur, bestehend aus Rollenwagen, Führungseinrichtung und Antriebseinheit, eine Vielzahl von Ausführungsformen zulässt. Insbesondere seien verschiedene Getriebeformen erwähnt, um den Antrieb durch den Antriebsmotor auf die Rollenwagenachse zu übersetzen. Neben einem Schneckentrieb und einem Stirnradgetriebe, über das der Antriebsmotor im Tragblech angeordnet ist, kann ein weiteres Getriebekonzept vorgesehen sein, bei dem das Getriebe neben dem Antriebsmotor innerhalb des Tragbleches angeordnet ist. Die Übertragung der Drehbewegung zwischen dem Antriebsmotor und dem Getriebe kann über einen Riementrieb erfolgen, der wenigstens eine erste und eine zweite Riemenscheibe aufweist.In the present case, a drive system is provided with a carriage unit which, due to its basic structure consisting of roller carriage, guide device and drive unit, permits a multiplicity of embodiments. In particular, various types of transmissions are mentioned in order to translate the drive by the drive motor to the roller carriage axis. In addition to a worm gear and a spur gear, via which the drive motor is arranged in the support plate, a further transmission concept can be provided, in which the transmission is arranged next to the drive motor within the support plate. The transmission of the rotational movement between the drive motor and the transmission can take place via a belt drive which has at least one first and one second pulley.

Das Winkelgetriebe innerhalb des Rollenwagens kann bei einem Rollenwagen mit einer Rollenwagenachse eine Getriebeschnecke und ein Schneckenrad umfassen, wobei bei zwei Rollenwagenachsen eine Getriebeschnecke ein Schneckenrad z.B. für die erste Rollenwagenachse antreibt, und die zweite Rollenwagenachse durch eine Zwischenwelle angetrieben wird. Ist eine Kegelradverzahnung zwischen der Antriebswelle und der Rollenwagenachse vorgesehen, so kann die Antriebswelle auch zwei Rollenwagenachsen antreiben, in dem ein Kegelrad auf der Antriebswelle ein Kegelrad auf einer Rollenwagenachse antreibt und die zweite Rollenwagenachse unter Zwischenschaltung einer Zwischenwelle angetrieben wird.The bevel gear within the roller carriage may comprise a gear worm and a worm wheel in a roller carriage with a roller carriage axis, wherein at two roller carriage axles a worm gear drives a worm gear, for example for the first roller carriage axle, and the second roller carriage axle is driven by an intermediate shaft. If a bevel gear between the drive shaft and the roller carriage axis provided, the drive shaft can also drive two roller carriage axles in which a bevel gear on the drive shaft drives a bevel gear on a roller carriage axis and the second roller carriage axis is driven with the interposition of an intermediate shaft.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Antriebssystems 1 gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung. Das Antriebssystem 1 dient zum Antrieb und zur Führung eines Wandelementes, das insbesondere für ein Raumtrennwandsystem Verwendung findet und in der Figur nicht näher gezeigt ist. Das Wandelement kann an eine Wageneinheit 2 montiert werden, wobei die Wageneinheit 2 innerhalb einer Führungsschiene 3 längsbeweglich geführt ist und wobei die Bewegungsrichtung der Wageneinheit 2 senkrecht auf der Blattebene der Figur 1 liegt. Die Wageneinheit 2 ist gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung unterteilt in einen Rollenwagen 4, der sich im kastenartigen Hohlraum der Führungsschiene 3 befindet. Unterseitig der Führungsschiene 3 ist eine Antriebseinheit 5 vorgesehen, die wenigstens einen Antriebsmotor 13 umfasst, um den Rollenwagen 4 anzutreiben. Zwischen dem Rollenwagen 4 und der Antriebseinheit 5 ist eine Führungseinrichtung 6 angeordnet, wobei sowohl der Rollenwagen 4, die Führungseinrichtung 6 und die Antriebseinheit 5 betreffend ihre jeweiligen vertikalen Abschnitte angedeutet sind. Folglich erstreckt sich die Führungseinrichtung 6 zwischen dem Rollenwagen 4 und der Antriebseinheit 5, wobei durch die Führungseinrichtung 6 zugleich die mechanische Verbindung zwischen dem Rollenwagen 4 und der Antriebseinheit 5 gebildet ist. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a drive system 1 according to the present invention. The drive system 1 serves to drive and guide a wall element, which is used in particular for a room partition wall system and is not shown in detail in the figure. The wall element can be mounted on a carriage unit 2, wherein the carriage unit 2 is longitudinally movably guided within a guide rail 3 and wherein the direction of movement of the carriage unit 2 perpendicular to the plane of the plane FIG. 1 lies. The carriage unit 2 is divided according to the present invention into a roller carriage 4, the is located in the box-like cavity of the guide rail 3. On the underside of the guide rail 3, a drive unit 5 is provided which comprises at least one drive motor 13 in order to drive the roller carriage 4. Between the roller carriage 4 and the drive unit 5, a guide device 6 is arranged, wherein both the roller carriage 4, the guide device 6 and the drive unit 5 are indicated with respect to their respective vertical sections. Consequently, the guide means 6 extends between the roller carriage 4 and the drive unit 5, wherein at the same time the mechanical connection between the roller carriage 4 and the drive unit 5 is formed by the guide means 6.

Die Führungseinrichtung 6 weist wenigstens eine Führungsrolle 7 auf, die sowohl gegen die linke Seite als auch gegen die rechte Seite durch Führungsflächen 8 geführt ist. Diese sind an der Führungsschiene 3 ausgebildet und bilden eine Art Längsschlitz, der in Laufrichtung der Führungsschiene 3 verläuft. Die Führungsflächen 8 werden durch die Flanken des Längsschlitzes gebildet, auf denen die Führungsrolle 7 entweder an der linken oder der rechten Seite abrollen kann. Im Ergebnis wird eine Wageneinheit 2 vorgeschlagen, die eine platzsparende und vorteilhafte Führungseinrichtung 6 aufweist, die zugleich eine vorhandene Querschnittsform einer Führungsschiene 3 nutzt, indem an dieser Führungsflächen 8 angebracht sind.The guide device 6 has at least one guide roller 7, which is guided both against the left side and against the right side by guide surfaces 8. These are formed on the guide rail 3 and form a kind of longitudinal slot which extends in the running direction of the guide rail 3. The guide surfaces 8 are formed by the flanks of the longitudinal slot, on which the guide roller 7 can roll on either the left or the right side. As a result, a carriage unit 2 is proposed, which has a space-saving and advantageous guide device 6, which also uses an existing cross-sectional shape of a guide rail 3 by being attached to this guide surfaces 8.

Der Rollenwagen 4 weist oberseitig Stromabnehmer 11 auf, die in jeweiligem Kontakt mit Stromschienen 12 stehen. Die Stromschienen 12 sind über Isolatoren in der Oberseite der Führungsschiene 3 aufgenommen. Verfährt die Wageneinheit 2 innerhalb der Führungsschiene 3, so ist ein dauerhafter Strom- und/oder Signalkontakt zwischen der Wageneinheit 2 und den ortsfest eingebrachten Stromschienen 12 gewährleistet.The roller carriage 4 has on the upper side pantograph 11, which are in respective contact with busbars 12. The busbars 12 are received in the upper side of the guide rail 3 via insulators. If the carriage unit 2 moves within the guide rail 3, a permanent current and / or signal contact between the carriage unit 2 and the stationarily inserted busbars 12 is ensured.

Figur 2 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht der erfindungsgemäßen Wageneinheit 2, die sich in den Rollenwagen 4, die Führungseinrichtung 6 und die Antriebseinheit 5 unterteilt. Der Rollenwagen 4 besitzt einen Rollenwagenoberteil 4a und einen Rollenwagenunterteil 4b, wobei am Rollenwagenoberteil 4a Anschlagflächen 30 vorgesehen sind, um ein Verkippen oder Anheben der Wageneinheit 2 innerhalb der Führungsschiene zu begrenzen, indem die Anschlagfläche 30 gegen die Innenseite der Führungsschiene zur Anlage gelangt. FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the carriage unit 2 according to the invention, which is divided into the roller carriage 4, the guide means 6 and the drive unit 5. The roller carriage 4 has a roller carriage upper part 4a and a roller carriage lower part 4b, wherein on the roller carriage upper part 4a abutment surfaces 30 are provided to limit tilting or lifting of the carriage unit 2 within the guide rail by the stop surface 30 comes against the inside of the guide rail to the plant.

Der Rollenwagen 4 weist eine Rollenwagenachse 21 auf, wobei gemäß des dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels zwei Laufrollen 22 auf der Rollenwagenachse 21 drehbar aufgenommen sind. Eine der beiden Laufrollen 22 kann dabei durch einen Antriebsmotor 13 angetrieben werden, wobei der Antrieb über ein Getriebe, z.B. ein Stirnradgetriebe 23, erfolgt und sowohl der Antriebsmotor 13 als auch das Getriebe sind in der Antriebseinheit 5 aufgenommen.The roller carriage 4 has a roller carriage axle 21, wherein two rollers 22 are rotatably received on the roller carriage axle 21 according to the illustrated embodiment. One of the two rollers 22 can be driven by a drive motor 13, wherein the drive via a transmission, e.g. a spur gear 23, and both the drive motor 13 and the transmission are received in the drive unit 5.

Im Rollenwagen 4 sind drei Stromabnehmer 11 erkennbar, die zum stromübertragenden Kontakt gegen Stromschienen vorgesehen ist, die in der Führungsschiene verlegt sind.In the roller carriage 4 three pantograph 11 can be seen, which is provided for current-transmitting contact against busbars, which are laid in the guide rail.

Die Antriebseinheit 5 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem Tragblech 18, in dem der Antriebsmotor 13 und eine zweite elektrische Einheit 17 aufgenommen sind. Zwischen der ersten elektrischen Einheit 16 auf dem Rollenwagen 4 und der zweiten elektrischen Einheit 17 innerhalb der Antriebseinheit 5 erstreckt sich eine elektrische Verbindung 19, die über Befestigungspunkte 31 sowohl am Rollenwagen 4 als auch am Tragblech 18 an der Wageneinheit 2 befestigt ist.The drive unit 5 consists essentially of a support plate 18, in which the drive motor 13 and a second electrical unit 17 are received. Between the first electrical unit 16 on the roller carriage 4 and the second electrical unit 17 within the drive unit 5 extends an electrical connection 19, which is fastened via attachment points 31 on both the roller carriage 4 and the support plate 18 on the carriage unit 2.

Das Tragblech 18 ist in seitlicher Richtung, die der Laufrichtung der Wageneinheit 2 entspricht, mit mechanischen Anschlägen 32 ausgeführt, die einen jeweiligen Vorsprung in Verfahrrichtung bilden. Das Tragblech 18 ist U-förmig gebogen, wobei die U-Öffnung vertikal nach unten gerichtet angeordnet ist. In der U-Öffnung des Tragbleches befindet sich ein Tragelement 27, an dem ein Tragbolzen 28 über eine Lageranordnung 33 drehbar aufgenommen ist. Der Tragbolzen 28 besitzt eine Hohlbohrung, um eine weitere elektrische Verbindung 34 durch den Tragbolzen 28 hindurch zu führen, so dass sich diese zwischen der Antriebseinheit 5 und dem Wandelement, das am Tragbolzen 28 aufgenommen ist, erstreckt.The support plate 18 is designed in the lateral direction, which corresponds to the running direction of the carriage unit 2, with mechanical stops 32, which form a respective projection in the direction of travel. The baffle 18 is bent in a U-shape with the U-opening directed vertically downwards. In the U-opening of the support plate is a support member 27 to which a support pin 28 is rotatably received via a bearing assembly 33. The support pin 28 has a hollow bore to guide a further electrical connection 34 through the support pin 28 so that it extends between the drive unit 5 and the wall member which is received on the support pin 28.

Der Antriebsmotor 13 kann konzentrisch zur Antriebswelle 20 angeordnet sein. Dadurch wird an mindestens einer Seite des Tragbleches 18 Platz geschaffen, um die zweite elektrische Einheit 17, die in Form einer Platine ausgebildet sein kann, seitlich an einem Tragblech 18 innerhalb der Antriebseinheit 5 anzuordnen. Dies bietet den Vorteil, dass im Wartungsfall die zweite elektrische Einheit 17, der Antriebsmotor 13 und das Getriebe 23, 39, 40 gewartet und gegebenenfalls ausgetauscht werden können, ohne den in der Führungsschiene laufenden Rollenwagen 4 ausbauen zu müssen. Die zweite elektrische Einheit 17 dient wenigstens zur Steuerung des Antriebsmotors 13, wobei eine weitere elektrische Verbindung 34 durch eine Kabelführung 38 hindurch geführt ist, die sich innerhalb des Tragbolzens 28 befindet. Damit kann eine weitere Verbindung zwischen der Wageneinheit 2 und einem Wandelement hergestellt werden.The drive motor 13 may be arranged concentrically to the drive shaft 20. As a result, space is provided on at least one side of the support plate 18 in order to arrange the second electrical unit 17, which may be in the form of a circuit board, laterally on a support plate 18 within the drive unit 5. This offers the advantage that, in the case of maintenance, the second electrical unit 17, the drive motor 13 and the gear 23, 39, 40 can be serviced and, if necessary, replaced without having to remove the roller carriage 4 running in the guide rail. The second electrical unit 17 serves at least to control the drive motor 13, wherein a further electrical connection 34 is guided through a cable guide 38, which is located within the support bolt 28. Thus, a further connection between the carriage unit 2 and a wall element can be produced.

In Figur 3 ist eine Seitenansicht der Wageneinheit 2 gezeigt, wobei wenigstens der Rollenwagen 4, die Führungseinrichtung 6, das Tragelement 27 sowie der Tragbolzen 28 geschnitten dargestellt sind. Durch die Schnittansicht ist der Antriebsstrang erkennbar, der sich zwischen dem Antriebsmotor 13 und der Rollenwagenachse 21 erstreckt. Der Antriebsmotor 13 ist an einem Stirnradgetriebe 23 angeordnet, aus dem sich eine Antriebswelle 20 vertikal nach oben in den Rollenwagen 4 hinein erstreckt. An der Antriebswelle 20 und der Rollenwagenachse 21 ist ein Winkelgetriebe 24 in Form einer Kegel- oder Kronenradverzahnung ausgebildet, damit kann durch Betrieb des Antriebsmotors 13 die Rollenwagenachse 21 und folglich die Laufrollen 22 in Drehbewegung versetzt werden. Die Antriebswelle 20 ist durch Lagerbuchsen 35 im Rollenwagenunterteil 4b drehbar gelagert.In FIG. 3 a side view of the carriage unit 2 is shown, wherein at least the roller carriage 4, the guide means 6, the support member 27 and the support pin 28 are shown cut. By the sectional view of the drive train can be seen, which extends between the drive motor 13 and the roller carriage axis 21. The drive motor 13 is arranged on a spur gear 23, from which a drive shaft 20 extends vertically upwards into the roller carriage 4 inside. On the drive shaft 20 and the roller carriage axle 21 is an angular gear 24 is formed in the form of a bevel gear or crown gear, so that the roller carriage axle 21 and consequently the rollers 22 can be set in rotary motion by operation of the drive motor 13. The drive shaft 20 is rotatably supported by bearing bushes 35 in the roller carriage lower part 4b.

Durch den Rollenwagenunterteil 4b und den Rollenwagenoberteil 4a erstrecken sich zwei Verbindungselemente 10, die in ihrer wesentlichen Gestalt Schraubenelementen ähneln. Diese sind aus Richtung der Antriebseinheit 5 eingeschraubt, wobei sich die Verbindungselemente 10 durch den Rollwagenunterteil 4b hindurch erstrecken und über ein jeweiliges Gewinde 37 im Rollenwagenoberteil 4a verschraubt sind. Um die Führungsrollen 7 zu lagern, sind Distanzbuchsen 36 vorgesehen, die durch die Verbindungselemente 10 gegen den Rollenwagenunterteil 4b verspannt werden. Die Distanzbuchsen 36 wirken folglich als Rollenlager, da linksseitig als auch rechtsseitig der Antriebswelle 20 jeweils eine Führungsrolle 7 zur Führung der Wageneinheit 2 in der Führungsschiene angeordnet ist. Die Antriebswelle 20 läuft durch einen Zwischensteg 9, der mittig unter dem Rollenwagenunterteil 4b angeformt ist.Through the roller carriage lower part 4b and the roller carriage upper part 4a, two connecting elements 10 extend, which are similar in their essential shape screw elements. These are screwed in from the direction of the drive unit 5, wherein the connecting elements 10 extend through the trolley bottom part 4b and are bolted to a respective thread 37 in the roller carriage upper part 4a. To store the guide rollers 7, spacers 36 are provided, which are braced by the connecting elements 10 against the roller carriage lower part 4b. The spacers 36 thus act as a roller bearing, since the left side and the right side of the drive shaft 20 each have a guide roller 7 is arranged to guide the carriage unit 2 in the guide rail. The drive shaft 20 passes through a gutter 9, which is integrally formed below the roller carriage lower part 4b.

Die Verbindungselemente 10 dienen ferner zur federbelasteten Aufnahme eines Stromabnehmers 11. Dieser wird durch zwei Führungsstifte 14 gelagert, die jeweils in einem zugeordneten Verbindungselement 10 aufgenommen sind. Die Führungsstifte 14 sind durch Federelemente 15 belastet, so dass der Stromabnehmer 11 gegen die Stromschiene gedrückt werden kann, die sich oberhalb der Stromabnehmer 11 befindet. Auf dem Rollenwagen 4 ist eine erste elektrische Einheit 16 vorgesehen, die eine Schnittstelle zum Stromabnehmer 11 bildet. In der Antriebseinheit 5 ist eine zweite elektrische Einheit 17 aufgenommen, wobei sich zwischen den beiden elektrischen Einheiten 16 und 17 eine elektrische Verbindung 19 erstreckt. Die zweite elektrische Einheit 17 dient wenigstens zur Steuerung des Antriebsmotors 13, wobei eine weitere elektrische Verbindung 34 durch eine Kabelführung 38 hindurch geführt ist, die sich innerhalb des Tragbolzens 28 befindet. Damit kann eine weitere Verbindung zwischen der Wageneinheit 2 und einem Wandelement hergestellt werden. Der Tragbolzen 28, das Tragelement 27 sowie die Lageranordnung 33 sind in geschnittener Weise schematisch dargestellt, so dass verdeutlicht ist, dass der Tragbolzen 28 drehbar in dem Tragelement 27 aufgenommen ist. Das Tragelement 27 ist am Tragblech 18 der Antriebseinheit 5 angebracht, wobei das Tragblech 18 lediglich durch die hintere Hälfte dargestellt ist.The connecting elements 10 are also used for spring-loaded receiving a current collector 11. This is supported by two guide pins 14, which are each received in an associated connecting element 10. The guide pins 14 are loaded by spring elements 15, so that the current collector 11 can be pressed against the busbar, which is located above the current collector 11. On the roller carriage 4, a first electrical unit 16 is provided, which forms an interface to the current collector 11. In the drive unit 5, a second electrical unit 17 is accommodated, with an electrical connection 19 extending between the two electrical units 16 and 17. The second electrical unit 17 serves at least to control the drive motor 13, wherein a further electrical connection 34 is guided through a cable guide 38 which is located within the support pin 28. Thus, a further connection between the carriage unit 2 and a wall element can be produced. The support bolt 28, the support member 27 and the bearing assembly 33 are shown in a sectional manner schematically, so that it is illustrated that the support pin 28 is rotatably received in the support member 27. The support member 27 is mounted on the support plate 18 of the drive unit 5, wherein the support plate 18 is shown only by the rear half.

An der Antriebseinheit 5 ist sowohl ein Messgeber 25 als auch ein Messaufnehmer 26 angeordnet. Der Messgeber 25 kann beispielsweise in Gestalt eines Permanentmagneten ausgeführt sein, wobei der Messaufnehmer 26 ein Reed-Kontakt sein kann. Werden mehrere Wandelemente in der Führungsschiene bewegt, so ist eine Abstandskontrolle mittels des Messgebers 25 und des Messaufnehmers 26 möglich. Der Messaufnehmer 26 wirkt dabei mit einem Messgeber 25 einer weiteren benachbart verfahrenden Wageneinheit 2 zusammen. Der Messaufnehmer 26 ist dabei mit der zweiten elektrischen Einheit 17 verbunden, so dass eine Steuerung des elektrischen Antriebsmotors 13 in Abhängigkeit einer detektierten Näherung einer weiteren Wageneinheit 2 gesteuert werden kann.On the drive unit 5, both a sensor 25 and a sensor 26 is arranged. The encoder 25 may be embodied for example in the form of a permanent magnet, wherein the sensor 26 may be a reed contact. If a plurality of wall elements is moved in the guide rail, a distance control by means of the encoder 25 and the sensor 26 is possible. The sensor 26 cooperates with a sensor 25 of a further adjacent moving carriage unit 2. The sensor 26 is connected to the second electrical unit 17 so that control of the electric drive motor 13 can be controlled as a function of a detected approximation of another carriage unit 2.

Um die Drehbewegung der Abtriebswelle 20 des Antriebsmotors 13 auf das Planetengetriebe 40 zu übertragen, sind Riemenscheiben 41 vorgesehen, die entweder eine Synchrondrehzahl oder eine Über- oder Untersetzung zwischen dem Antriebsmotor 13 und dem Planetengetriebe 40 ermöglichen können. Gemäß dieses Ausführungsbeispiels besitzt der Rollenwagen 4 zwei Rollenwagenachsen 21 mit jeweils zwei Laufrollen 22. Die Antriebswelle 20 wirkt mit einer Zwischenwelle 42 zusammen, wobei zur Umsetzung der Drehbewegung zwischen der Antriebswelle 20 und der Zwischenwelle 42 wiederum ein Winkelgetriebe 24 angeordnet ist. Die in Figur 5b linksseitig dargestellten Laufrollen 22 werden durch die Antriebswelle 20 angetrieben, wohingegen die rechtsseitig dargestellten Laufrollen 22 über Freilauflager 43 frei drehbar sind.The FIGS. 5a and 5b specify a further embodiment of a carriage unit 2, wherein the drive motor 13 is arranged offset to a planetary gear 40, which is coaxial with the drive shaft 20. In order to transmit the rotational movement of the output shaft 20 of the drive motor 13 to the planetary gear 40, pulleys 41 are provided which can allow either a synchronous speed or an over or under ratio between the drive motor 13 and the planetary gear 40. According to this embodiment, the roller carriage 4 has two roller carriage axles 21 each with two rollers 22.
