Definitions
- the present invention relates to a drive device for adjusting sunshade systems with a manually operated chain, which is formed in an endless loop and is in engagement with a drive gear.
- Simple solutions provide that the chain, which is usually designed as a ball chain, inserted into the transmission and fixed on the housing cover of the transmission.
- the chain is thus firmly anchored in the transmission and can not be solved even under load.
- the housing cover itself is connected via a fixed clamp with the rail.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a drive device in which the endless loop detaches from an unintentional catching above a limit force of the drive device to safely avoid the risk of injury.
- this object is achieved in that the chain is guided over at least one guide element that is formed as a bevel gear, wherein laterally next to the guide element an evasive element is provided which escapes when exceeding a certain lateral force generated by the chain and a release of Chain caused by the drive device.
- a solution according to claim 2 is provided, that the drive gear itself is formed as a bevel gear and forms the guide element.
- This solution is characterized by a minimal design overhead, since only the evasive under a certain force evasive element must be provided in addition, while the additional cost of a bevel gear designed as a drive gear, especially in plastic versions are practically negligible.
- an alternative solution according to claim 1 is provided, wherein two guide elements are provided, between which the drive gear is arranged, wherein the guide elements hold the chain from below against the drive gear in engagement.
- the lateral forces that cause the evasion element, not by the drive gear itself but the guide elements are constructed, which are then designed as bevel gears accordingly.
- the advantage is that the drive gear and the rest of the drive mechanism are not burdened with the high impact forces that can occur when caught in the endless loop.
- the guide elements are mounted on a bearing block which is supported on at least one spring element, the one Builds support force in the direction of the drive gear.
- bearing block is divided into two pressure pieces which are spring-mounted independently of each other and each supported a guide element independently of the other.
- This embodiment ensures that in a one-sided stress on the chain, as occurs during normal adjustment of the sunshade system, only one guide element escapes, even if an inappropriate high force application occurs.
- the separate storage of the two guide rollers can thus avoid early unwanted disengagement of the chain.
- a first solution provides that the evading element is provided with a closure in its chain holding position, which opens above a certain release force.
- a closure may for example be designed as a latching device, wherein in the case of separate pressure pieces each is latched to the evading element.
- the evading element is supported by a spring in its chain holding position, wherein the spring force counteracts the side force generated by the at least one bevel gear on the chain.
- the release force can be adjusted according to the spring force.
- An evasive evasive element is preferably combined with an embodiment in which the drive gear itself is formed as a bevel gear and guide element.
- a clearance is provided, which is separated by the evasion of the engagement of the chain with the drive gear and / or the at least one formed as a bevel gear guide element.
- the evading element is preferably pivotally mounted, but it may also be provided a lateral guide.
- the evading element is also formed as a bevel gear and arranged coaxially to the drive gear end to end to this, wherein the deflection movement of this further bevel gear a gap between the two bevel gears releases so that the chain can slip down out of engagement.
- the drive gear has corresponding receptacles for the balls, which ensure the positive engagement and allow lateral sliding out when dodge the evasion element.
- a drive device 10 is shown, as it is typically provided on the front side of the upper rails of sun protection systems, such as roller blinds or blinds.
- the embodiment shown drives, via a shaft 12, a catch-up or turning device of the sunshade system, which is not described in more detail, and is formed with a bevel wheel at its end facing a safety device 14.
- This bevel gear is provided with a spur toothing 18, whose shape is chosen so that balls 20 of a ball chain 22 are held positively in engagement.
- the end face of the bevel gear is located in the immediate vicinity of a wall designed as evasive element or is located only at a slight distance from this evasive element, so that the balls 20 are held without play between the teeth 18 and the evading element 24.
- the evading element 24 is supported by springs 26 on a housing 28 whose force is supported depending on the game on the bevel gear 16 or on a stop. This makes it possible to manually transmit corresponding operating forces via the ball chain 22 to the bevel gear and via the drive shaft 12 to the adjusting device of the sun protection system.
- the formation of the drive gear 16 as a bevel gear ensures that acting on the balls 20 an axial force in the direction of the evading element 24. If this force exceeds the force of the springs 26, the evading element 24 deviates into a free space 30, so that the balls come out of engagement with the toothing 18. Due to the resulting space between the toothing 18 and the evading element 24 (see Fig. 2 ), the chain may slip outwards and downwards, and there is no danger that a person caught in the ball chain, which is formed as an endless loop, may strangulate.
- a further embodiment of a drive device 110 is shown, in which the drive gear 116 is formed as a cylindrical gear with a corresponding to the balls 120 of the ball chain 122 teeth.
- the driving forces are transmitted again correspondingly via a drive shaft 112 to the adjustment mechanism of the sun protection system.
- the ball chain 120 is not placed from above on the teeth 118 of the drive gear 116, but is pressed by means of a bearing block 140 and two guide elements 142, between which the drive gear 116, from below against this.
- the bearing block 140 consists of two pressure pieces 144, 146, which are U-shaped (see Fig. 4 ) and on each of which by means of a respective cylindrical pin 148 a guide element 142 is rotatably mounted.
- the guide elements are designed as bevel gears (see Fig.
- each pressure piece 144, 146 is pressed by a compression spring 150, 152 in the direction of the drive gear 116, so that the ball chain 122 in an arc through the plant guided and positively pressed from below against the teeth 118 of the drive gear 116.
- a deflecting element 124 is pivotably mounted in a housing 128 (see FIG Fig. 4 ).
- a closure or latching point 152 (see Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 ) is provided, which is formed so wide that they can engage with two pressure pieces (144, 146).
- the interior of the housing 128 is divided into two chambers, wherein in the left chamber, the functional elements are included, while the right chamber forms a space 130 so that the pivotally mounted evasive element 124 can swivel laterally when overloaded and the ball chain 120th is released down. Since the free space 130 is part of the housing, there is no risk of incorrect installation, since the necessary space for evasion space is kept within the housing and can not be blocked by too close system in a corner or a soffit.
- FIG. 7 shows by way of example the operation of the ball chain at the rear part, in Fig. 7 in the sense of the representation the right side.
- the rear pressure member 144 is moved downward, wherein the spring 150 is compressed. Since the front part of the ball chain 122 is still not loaded, presses there provided Spring 150, the front pressure piece 146 upwards, so that the latching point 152 is released only in the region of the rear pressure piece 144, but still blocked in the region of the front pressure piece 146.
- the evading member 124 thus securely holds the ball chain 122 in engagement with the drive gear 116.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 An incorrect operation of the gear is in FIGS. 8 and 9 shown.
- Such a case occurs when simultaneously pulled at the front and rear of the ball chain 122 with so much force that both plungers 144, 146 lower simultaneously.
- This load case can also occur, for example, when a person has caught in the endless loop of the ball chain 122 and can no longer control his movement in a fall.
- the locking device 152 By simultaneously lowering both pressure pieces 144, 146, the locking device 152 is completely dissolved, so that the evading element 124, as in Fig. 9 shown, can pivot laterally, whereby the ball chain 122 evades laterally in the free space 130 as a result of the bevel gear-like design of the guide elements 142 and is released from engagement with the drive device.
- the ball chain 122 is abruptly force-free and there is no danger that a person can injure, for example, has manipulated and has caught in the loop of the ball chain 122.
- the evading element is formed as a coaxial bevel gear to the drive gear formed as a bevel gear.
- the evading element is then mounted in accordance with axially resilient, so that in case of too high a load on the ball chain, the two bevel gears can axially move away from each other, so that between them a gap is released, through which the ball chain can slip out of the drive device.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Antriebsvorrichtung zum Verstellen von Sonnenschutzanlagen mit einer manuell zu betätigenden Kette, die in einer Endlosschlaufe ausgebildet ist und in Eingriff mit einem Antriebszahnrad steht.The present invention relates to a drive device for adjusting sunshade systems with a manually operated chain, which is formed in an endless loop and is in engagement with a drive gear.
Einfache Lösungen sehen vor, dass die Kette, die meist als Kugelkette ausgebildet ist, in das Getriebe eingelegt und über den Gehäusedeckel des Getriebes fixiert wird. Die Kette ist somit fest im Getriebe verankert und kann sich auch unter Last nicht lösen. Der Gehäusedeckel selbst ist über eine feste Klemmung mit der Schiene verbunden.Simple solutions provide that the chain, which is usually designed as a ball chain, inserted into the transmission and fixed on the housing cover of the transmission. The chain is thus firmly anchored in the transmission and can not be solved even under load. The housing cover itself is connected via a fixed clamp with the rail.
Augrund der Ausbildung als Endlosschlaufe, die unlösbar mit dem Gehäuse verankert ist, kann es vorkommen, dass sich Personen, beispielsweise Kinder unbeabsichtigt mit dem Kopf oder anderen Gliedmaßen in der Schlaufe verfangen und dadurch erheblich verletzen können.Due to the training as an endless loop, which is anchored inextricably with the housing, it may happen that people, such as children inadvertently get caught in the head or other limbs in the loop and thereby seriously injured.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine Antriebsvorrichtung zu schaffen, bei welcher die Endlosschlaufe sich bei einem unbeabsichtigten Verfangen oberhalb einer Grenzkraft von der Antriebsvorrichtung löst, um die Gefahr von Verletzungen sicher zu vermeiden.The object of the present invention is to provide a drive device in which the endless loop detaches from an unintentional catching above a limit force of the drive device to safely avoid the risk of injury.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Kette über wenigstens ein Führungselement geführt ist, dass als Kegelrad ausgebildet ist, wobei seitlich neben dem Führungselement ein Ausweichelement vorgesehen ist, das bei Überschreiten einer bestimmten seitlichen, durch die Kette erzeugten Kraft ausweicht und eine Freigabe der Kette von der Antriebsvorrichtung bewirkt.According to the invention this object is achieved in that the chain is guided over at least one guide element that is formed as a bevel gear, wherein laterally next to the guide element an evasive element is provided which escapes when exceeding a certain lateral force generated by the chain and a release of Chain caused by the drive device.
Der Vorteil dieser Lösung besteht darin, dass die Getriebe- teile selbst sich nicht von dem Gehäuse lösen sondern lediglich die Kette aus dem Eingriff mit dem Antriebszahnrad ausrückt. Dadurch wird die Wiederherstellung der Antriebsvorrichtung nach einem Auslösen vereinfacht, da lediglich die Kette unter Betätigung des Ausweichelements wieder in das System eingelegt werden muss.The advantage of this solution is that the gear parts themselves do not come loose from the housing, but instead only the chain disengages from the drive gear. As a result, the restoration of the drive device is simplified after triggering, since only the chain must be re-inserted into the system under actuation of the evading element.
Bei einer ersten Ausführungsform ist eine Lösung nach Anspruch 2 vorgesehen, dass das Antriebszahnrad selbst als Kegelrad ausgebildet ist und das Führungselement bildet. Diese Lösung zeichnet sich durch einen minimalen konstruktiven Mehraufwand aus, da lediglich das unter einer bestimmten Kraft ausweichende Ausweichelement zusätzlich vorgesehen sein muss, während die Mehrkosten für ein als Kegelrad ausgebildetes Antriebszahnrad insbesondere bei Kunststoffausführungen praktisch vernachlässigbar sind.In a first embodiment, a solution according to claim 2 is provided, that the drive gear itself is formed as a bevel gear and forms the guide element. This solution is characterized by a minimal design overhead, since only the evasive under a certain force evasive element must be provided in addition, while the additional cost of a bevel gear designed as a drive gear, especially in plastic versions are practically negligible.
Bei einer zweiten Ausführungsform ist eine alternative Lösung nach Anspruch 1 vorgesehen, wobei zwei Führungselemente vorgesehen sind, zwischen denen das Antriebszahnrad angeordnet ist, wobei die Führungselemente die Kette von unten gegen das Antriebszahnrad in Eingriff halten.In a second embodiment, an alternative solution according to claim 1 is provided, wherein two guide elements are provided, between which the drive gear is arranged, wherein the guide elements hold the chain from below against the drive gear in engagement.
Bei dieser Ausführungsform der Erfindung werden die seitlichen Kräfte, die das Ausweichelement auslösen, nicht durch das Antriebszahnrad selbst sondern die Führungselemente aufgebaut, die dann entsprechend als Kegelräder ausgebildet sind. Der Vorteil ist, dass das Antriebszahnrad und der übrige Antriebsmechanismus nicht mit den hohen Stoßkräften belastet werden, die bei einem Verfangen in der Endlosschlaufe auftreten können.In this embodiment of the invention, the lateral forces that cause the evasion element, not by the drive gear itself but the guide elements are constructed, which are then designed as bevel gears accordingly. The advantage is that the drive gear and the rest of the drive mechanism are not burdened with the high impact forces that can occur when caught in the endless loop.
Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform, bei welcher die Führungselemente auf einem Lagerbock gelagert sind, der auf wenigstens einem Federelement abgestützt ist, das eine Stützkraft in Richtung des Antriebszahnrades aufbaut. Der Vorteil dieser Lösung ist, dass bei einem Einleiten von Kräften auch die Führungsrollen ausweichen können und damit das seitliche Herausgleiten der Kette aus dem Eingriff vereinfacht wird. Außerdem kann die Bewegung des Lagerbockes genutzt werden, um einen Verschluss des Ausweichelements zu entriegeln.Particularly preferred is an embodiment in which the guide elements are mounted on a bearing block which is supported on at least one spring element, the one Builds support force in the direction of the drive gear. The advantage of this solution is that when introducing forces and the guide rollers can escape and thus the lateral sliding out of the chain from the procedure is simplified. In addition, the movement of the bearing block can be used to unlock a closure of the evading element.
Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Weiterbildung dieser Ausführungsform, bei welcher der Lagerbock in zwei Druckstücke unterteilt ist, die unabhängig voneinander federnd gelagert sind und jeweils ein Führungselement unabhängig vom anderen abstützten.Particularly preferred is a development of this embodiment, in which the bearing block is divided into two pressure pieces which are spring-mounted independently of each other and each supported a guide element independently of the other.
Diese Ausführungsform stellt sicher, dass bei einer einseitigen Beanspruchung der Kette, wie sie beim normalen Verstellen der Sonnenschutzanlage auftritt, jeweils nur ein Führungselement ausweicht, selbst wenn eine unangebracht hohe Krafteinleitung erfolgt. Durch die separate Lagerung der beiden Führungsrollen lässt sich damit ein frühzeitiges unerwünschtes Ausrücken der Kette vermeiden.This embodiment ensures that in a one-sided stress on the chain, as occurs during normal adjustment of the sunshade system, only one guide element escapes, even if an inappropriate high force application occurs. The separate storage of the two guide rollers can thus avoid early unwanted disengagement of the chain.
Für die Verriegelung des Ausweichelements sind verschiedene Lösungen möglich. Eine erste Lösung sieht vor, dass das Ausweichelement mit einem Verschluss in seiner die Kette haltenden Stellung versehen ist, der sich oberhalb einer bestimmten Auslösekraft öffnet. Ein solcher Verschluss kann beispielsweise als Rastvorrichtung ausgebildet sein, wobei im Falle von getrennten Druckstücken jedes mit dem Ausweichelement verrastet ist. Damit wird die Verrastung des Ausweichelements erst dann aufgehoben, wenn beide Führungsrollen gleichzeitig ausweichen, wie dies bei einem unkontrollierten Verfangen in der Endlosschlaufe der Fall ist.For the locking of the evading element different solutions are possible. A first solution provides that the evading element is provided with a closure in its chain holding position, which opens above a certain release force. Such a closure may for example be designed as a latching device, wherein in the case of separate pressure pieces each is latched to the evading element. Thus, the locking of the evading element is only canceled when both guide rollers at the same time evade, as is the case with an uncontrolled catch in the endless loop.
Alternativ ist es möglich, dass das Ausweichelement mittels einer Feder in seiner die Kette haltenden Position abgestützt ist, wobei die Federkraft entgegengesetzt der durch das wenigstens eine Kegelrad auf die Kette erzeugten Seitenkraft wirkt. Bei dieser Lösung kann entsprechend der Federkraft die Auslösekraft eingestellt werden. Ein federnd ausweichendes Ausweichelement wird bevorzugt mit einer Ausführungsform kombiniert, bei welcher das Antriebszahnrad selbst als Kegelrad und Führungselement ausgebildet ist.Alternatively, it is possible that the evading element is supported by a spring in its chain holding position, wherein the spring force counteracts the side force generated by the at least one bevel gear on the chain. In this solution, the release force can be adjusted according to the spring force. An evasive evasive element is preferably combined with an embodiment in which the drive gear itself is formed as a bevel gear and guide element.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass auf der Stirnseite des wenigstens einen Kegelrades zugewandten Seite ein Freiraum vorgesehen ist, der durch das Ausweichelement von dem Eingriff der Kette mit dem Antriebszahnrad und/oder dem wenigstens einen als Kegelrad ausgebildeten Führungselement abgetrennt ist. Das Ausweichelement ist vorzugsweise schwenkbar gelagert, es kann aber auch eine laterale Führung vorgesehen sein.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that on the front side of the at least one bevel gear side facing a clearance is provided, which is separated by the evasion of the engagement of the chain with the drive gear and / or the at least one formed as a bevel gear guide element. The evading element is preferably pivotally mounted, but it may also be provided a lateral guide.
Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform, die auf der Lösung basiert, bei welcher das Antriebszahnrad als Kegelrad ausgebildet ist, ist das Ausweichelement ebenfalls als Kegelrad ausgebildet und koaxial zum Antriebszahnrad Stirn an Stirn zu diesem angeordnet, wobei die Ausweichbewegung dieses weiteren Kegelrades einen Spalt zwischen den beiden Kegelrädern freigibt, sodass die Kette nach unten aus dem Eingriff rutschen kann.In a further embodiment, which is based on the solution in which the drive gear is formed as a bevel gear, the evading element is also formed as a bevel gear and arranged coaxially to the drive gear end to end to this, wherein the deflection movement of this further bevel gear a gap between the two bevel gears releases so that the chain can slip down out of engagement.
Diese Lösung lässt sich wiederum auf verschiedene Art und Weise umsetzen, nämlich durch eine Rastverriegelung desThis solution can in turn be implemented in various ways, namely by a latching lock of the
Ausweichelements oder durch eine Federbelastung des Ausweichelements.Evasive element or by a spring load of the evading element.
Entsprechend der Ausbildung der Kette als Kugelkette bei einer Ausführungsform, ist weiterhin vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass das Antriebszahnrad entsprechende Aufnahmen für die Kugeln besitzt, die den Formschlüssigen Eingriff sicherstellen und ein seitliches Herausgleiten beim ausweichen des Ausweichelements ermöglichen.According to the formation of the chain as a ball chain in one embodiment, it is further preferably provided that the drive gear has corresponding receptacles for the balls, which ensure the positive engagement and allow lateral sliding out when dodge the evasion element.

Im Falle einer zu hohen Last auf die Kugelkette 22, sorgt die Ausbildung des Antriebszahnrades 16 als Kegelrad dafür, dass auf die Kugeln 20 eine Axialkraft in Richtung des Ausweichelements 24 wirkt. Übersteigt diese Kraft die Kraft der Federn 26, weicht das Ausweichelement 24 in einen Freiraum 30 aus, sodass die Kugeln aus dem Eingriff der Verzahnung 18 gelangen.

Der Lagerbock 140 besteht aus zwei Druckstücken 144, 146, die U-förmig ausgebildet sind (siehe

Neben den gezeigten Ausführungsformen von Antriebsvorrichtungen sind weitere Ausführungsformen im Sinne der Erfindung möglich, beispielsweise eine Ausführungsform, bei welcher das Ausweichelement als koaxiales Kegelrad zu dem als Kegelrad ausgebildeten Antriebszahnrad ausgebildet ist. Das Ausweichelement ist dann entsprechend axial nachgiebig gelagert, sodass im Falle einer zu hohen Belastung der Kugelkette die beiden Kegelräder sich axial voneinander entfernen können, sodass zwischen ihnen ein Spalt freigegeben wird, durch welchen die Kugelkette aus der Antriebsvorrichtung herausrutschen kann.In addition to the illustrated embodiments of drive devices further embodiments in the context of the invention are possible, for example, an embodiment in which the evading element is formed as a coaxial bevel gear to the drive gear formed as a bevel gear. The evading element is then mounted in accordance with axially resilient, so that in case of too high a load on the ball chain, the two bevel gears can axially move away from each other, so that between them a gap is released, through which the ball chain can slip out of the drive device.
