Definitions
- the invention relates to an adjustable door hinge with two hinge parts pivotally connected together by a hinge arrangement.
- Such adjustable door hinges have a modular construction, which connects several functional groups together.
- the two band parts interconnecting joint arrangement can be performed in different ways - as a roller joint or multi-joint hinge.
- one of the band parts may comprise a band receiving, in which a band tab pivotally connected to the other band member can be inserted and fixed.
- This joint arrangement is arranged adjustable on at least one band part in a receiving body.
- the receiving body is attached to a door frame or a door leaf and connected by the adjusting element with the hinge assembly.
- the adjusting element can control a linear displacement in one of the three spatial directions or a tilting or rotary movement of the joint arrangement relative to the receiving body.
- the joint arrangement in the receiving body can also be adjusted in several displacement or rotational directions. For this purpose, a plurality of adjusting elements and possibly necessary intermediate pieces are expediently provided for force transmission.
- eccentric arrangements One way to adjust concerns so-called eccentric arrangements.
- a body is arranged eccentrically pivotable about an axis, so that it can move a counter surface by pivoting about the axis of rotation.
- This is on the one hand disadvantageous that the adjustment and the maximum applied force at a Exzenterver ein are very low.
- the adjustment must be inhibited separately in the permanent action of a restoring force - for example, in a vertical adjustment as a result of the weight - because eccentric adjustments usually have no self-locking.
- spindle drives Another class of adjustment form so-called spindle drives.
- an adjusting spindle engages in the internal thread of a body to be adjusted.
- This system is very inflexible, since an adjustment can always be achieved only in the direction of the axis of rotation of the adjusting spindle.
- Known wedge surface adjustment is a displaceable adjusting body used, which has an inclined plane. This cooperates with an associated oblique plane of an intermediate piece to be adjusted. Such an arrangement works as well as the eccentric always only in one direction and is dependent on the provision of an oppositely acting restoring force. Also, the two equipped with the associated inclined surfaces body must be reliably positively one-dimensionally guided in order to avoid tolerances or accidental adjustment in an unintended spatial direction. This makes a wedge guide inflexible and difficult to combine with other adjustments.
- JP 2007-177427 A is a wedge surface adjustment known in which engage behind two inclined surfaces form fit.
- the invention has for its object to provide an improved adjustable door hinge and an improved adjustment for a door hinge.
- the adjusting element has a head piece and a foot piece which can be displaced linearly in the head piece along an axis.
- the head piece and the foot piece are connected to each other by a spindle drive for adjusting the distance in the direction of the axis.
- an intermediate piece displaceably arranged along inclined oblique planes is arranged. The head piece and the foot piece engage behind with the intermediate piece on each of the two inclined planes.
- a positive inclined guide is formed, which is suitable to absorb tensile and pressure forces.
- the distance between the head and foot piece along the axis of the spindle drive changes.
- a displacement of the intermediate piece takes place along the inclined planes, which also has a component of movement perpendicular to the axis of the spindle drive. In this direction, the adjustment allows both the exercise of compressive and tensile forces.
- both the head piece and the footpiece engage behind each with the intermediate piece with a dovetail guide.
- a dovetail guide allows a good power transmission and can also be performed with very little play, whereby the door hinge adjustment can be done very precisely.
- the head piece, the foot piece or the intermediate piece are integrally formed on the receiving body or on the joint arrangement.
- Shaped means in this context that the respective piece of the corresponding counterpart either -. B. by gluing or welding - permanently connected or is formed as part of the same.
- a part of the receiving body having a bore for receiving the spindle drive and a cross-engagement oblique guide, which is engaged with an associated engaging behind oblique guide of the intermediate piece.
- the part of the receiving body functionally forms the head piece, whereby the head piece is formed on the receiving body according to the invention.
- the adjusting device is fixed relative to the receiving body.
- a particularly good force transmission is ensured and a subsequent attachment can - at least in the one-piece molded variant - omitted. Also, this can be used to produce a uniform outer surface, which contributes to a high-quality look and can prevent the ingress of dirt.
- the joint arrangement is displaceably guided in the receiving body along an adjustment direction.
- the adjusting element is arranged with an axis perpendicular to the adjustment axis (of the spindle drive) between the hinge assembly and the receiving body.
- the intermediate piece is attached to the receiving body or on the hinge assembly and the head piece and the foot piece are floatingly mounted in the direction of the axis.
- the head and foot piece are forcibly one-dimensionally guided in the axial direction, so that a change in distance between the head and foot piece as a result of the operation of the spindle drive can be compensated at any time.
- an adjusting movement of the adjusting spindle in a defined adjusting movement of the joint assembly in the adjustment translated.
- the positive guidance of the head and foot piece may additionally include an anti-twist device.
- the floating storage of foot and head can also allow further adjustment movements.
- the positive guidance of the joint arrangement can be designed so that their movement is limited only in a single spatial direction.
- a displacement of the joint arrangement and of the adjusting element in the direction of the axis of rotation of the spindle drive can take place. This is controlled by a separate actuator.
- head and foot are not stored against rotation floating and they can thus serve as a pivot axis for a pivoting movement.
- two opposing intermediate pieces are arranged between the head piece and the foot piece. These are each connected by mirror-symmetrical opposite underlying cross-angle guides with head and foot. This results in a change in distance between the head and foot symmetrical radial movement of the two intermediate pieces.
- the relative movement between the first intermediate piece and the second intermediate piece is thereby a purely linear, perpendicular to the axis of the spindle drive sliding movement.
- the spindle drive is formed by a double screw with left-hand thread and right-hand thread, which engage in associated internal thread on the head piece and on the foot piece.
- This embodiment of the spindle drive is characterized in that the double screw in the direction of its axis of rotation - with the exception of the thread - does not need to be additionally supported. Furthermore, the double screw remains stationary during an actuation in the longitudinal direction of the axis, so that a screw head arranged at the end for producing an operative connection with an adjusting tool is always located in the same plane independently of the adjustment position.
- the spindle drive is formed by a simple screw, which is mounted with its head secure against displacement in the head piece and engages with its thread in an associated internal thread on the foot piece.
- a simple screw which is mounted with its head secure against displacement in the head piece and engages with its thread in an associated internal thread on the foot piece.
- the adjusting element is inserted against rotation in an associated recess of the door hinge.
- the recess can serve at the same time as a floating bearing for head piece and foot. If only compressive forces are to be exerted through the intermediate piece, no further installation measures are required and the door hinge is ready for immediate use. This results in a particularly simple installation. But also for a tensile stress, the door hinge in particular simple and fast manner be adapted by a connection between the intermediate piece and joint arrangement. This can be achieved for example by a screw or welded connection. Even in this case, there are still considerable simplifications compared to conventional adjusting elements, since they can be completely pre-assembled and fed as finished components of the assembly of the door hinge.
- a positive connection to undercut profiles is produced by the insertion between the joint arrangement and the intermediate piece.
- the connection between the intermediate piece and joint arrangement is ready without additional measures to absorb both compressive and tensile forces.
- the joint arrangement can project, for example, with a projection having a broadening in the recess of the door hinge.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein verstellbares Türband mit zwei durch eine Gelenkanordnung schwenkbar miteinander verbundenen Bandteilen. Dabei weist ein Bandteil ein Aufnahmekörper auf, an dem die Gelenkanordnung durch ein Verstellelement verstellbar angeordnet ist. Derartige verstellbare Türbänder weisen einen modularen Aufbau auf, welcher mehrere funktionale Gruppen miteinander verbindet. Dabei kann die die beiden Bandteile miteinander verbindende Gelenkanordnung auf unterschiedliche Arten ausgeführt sein - so als Rollengelenk oder auch Mehrgelenksscharnier. Auch kann eins der Bandteile eine Bandaufnahme aufweisen, in die ein mit dem anderen Bandteil schwenkbeweglich verbundener Bandlappen eingeschoben und befestigt werden kann.The invention relates to an adjustable door hinge with two hinge parts pivotally connected together by a hinge arrangement. In this case, a band part on a receiving body on which the hinge assembly is arranged adjustable by an adjustment. Such adjustable door hinges have a modular construction, which connects several functional groups together. In this case, the two band parts interconnecting joint arrangement can be performed in different ways - as a roller joint or multi-joint hinge. Also, one of the band parts may comprise a band receiving, in which a band tab pivotally connected to the other band member can be inserted and fixed.
Diese Gelenkanordnung ist an zumindest einem Bandteil in einem Aufnahmekörper verstellbar angeordnet. Dabei ist der Aufnahmekörper an einer Türzarge oder einem Türblatt befestigt und durch das Verstellelement mit der Gelenkanordnung verbunden. Je nach Bedarf und Einsatzzweck kann das Verstellelement eine lineare Verschiebung in einer der drei Raumrichtungen oder eine Kipp- bzw. Drehbewegung der Gelenkanordnung relativ zum Aufnahmekörper steuern. Dabei kann die Gelenkanordnung in dem Aufnahmekörper auch in mehreren Verschiebe- oder Drehrichtungen verstellbar sein. Hierzu sind zweckmäßigerweise mehrere Verstellelemente und ggf. notwendige Zwischenstücke zur Kraftvermittlung vorgesehen.This joint arrangement is arranged adjustable on at least one band part in a receiving body. In this case, the receiving body is attached to a door frame or a door leaf and connected by the adjusting element with the hinge assembly. Depending on requirements and intended use, the adjusting element can control a linear displacement in one of the three spatial directions or a tilting or rotary movement of the joint arrangement relative to the receiving body. In this case, the joint arrangement in the receiving body can also be adjusted in several displacement or rotational directions. For this purpose, a plurality of adjusting elements and possibly necessary intermediate pieces are expediently provided for force transmission.
Eine Möglichkeit zur Verstellung betrifft sogenannte Exzenteranordnungen. Hierbei ist ein Körper exzentrisch um eine Achse schwenkbar angeordnet, so dass er eine Gegenfläche durch Schwenken um die Drehachse verschieben kann. Hierbei ist einerseits nachteilig, dass der Verstellweg und auch die maximal aufzubringende Kraft bei einer Exzenterverstellung sehr gering sind. Weiterhin muss die Verstellanordnung beim dauernden Wirken einer Rückstellkraft - beispielsweise bei einer Vertikalverstellung in Folge der Gewichtskraft - gesondert gehemmt werden, da Exzenterverstellungen üblicherweise keine Selbsthemmung aufweisen.One way to adjust concerns so-called eccentric arrangements. Here, a body is arranged eccentrically pivotable about an axis, so that it can move a counter surface by pivoting about the axis of rotation. This is on the one hand disadvantageous that the adjustment and the maximum applied force at a Exzenterverstellung are very low. Furthermore, the adjustment must be inhibited separately in the permanent action of a restoring force - for example, in a vertical adjustment as a result of the weight - because eccentric adjustments usually have no self-locking.
Eine weitere Klasse von Verstellmöglichkeiten bilden sogenannte Spindeltriebe. Hierbei greift eine Verstellspindel in das Innengewinde eines zu verstellenden Körpers ein. Dieses System ist sehr unflexibel, da eine Verstellung immer nur in Richtung der Drehachse der Verstellspindel erreicht werden kann.Another class of adjustment form so-called spindle drives. In this case, an adjusting spindle engages in the internal thread of a body to be adjusted. This system is very inflexible, since an adjustment can always be achieved only in the direction of the axis of rotation of the adjusting spindle.

Aus
Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein verbessertes verstellbares Türband sowie ein verbessertes Verstellelement für ein Türband anzugeben.Against this background, the invention has for its object to provide an improved adjustable door hinge and an improved adjustment for a door hinge.
Gegenstand der Erfindung und Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist ein verstellbares Türband nach Patentanspruch 1 sowie ein Verstellelement nach Anspruch 10.The object of the invention and solution of this problem is an adjustable door hinge according to
Zu dem gattungsgemäß verstellbaren Türband gehören zwei durch eine Gelenkanordnung schwenkbar miteinander verbundene Bandteile. Dabei weist ein Bandteil einen Aufnahmekörper auf, an dem die Gelenkanordnung durch ein Verstellelement verstellbar angeordnet ist. Erfindungsgemäß weist das Verstellelement ein Kopfstück und ein entlang einer Achse linear gegenüber im Kopfstück verschiebbares Fußstück auf. Das Kopfstück und das Fußstück sind durch einen Spindeltrieb zur Einstellung des Abstandes in Richtung der Achse miteinander verbunden. Zwischen dem Kopfstück und dem Fußstück ist ein entlang entgegengesetzt geneigter schiefer Ebenen verschiebbar angeordnetes Zwischenstück angeordnet. Das Kopfstück und das Fußstück hintergreifen sich mit dem Zwischenstück jeweils an den beiden schiefen Ebenen. Hierdurch wird eine formschlüssige Schrägführung gebildet, die geeignet ist, Zug- und Drucckräfte aufzunehmen. Durch die Betätigung des Spindeltriebs ändert sich der Abstand zwischen Kopf- und Fußstück entlang der Achse des Spindeltriebs. Hierdurch findet eine Verschiebung des Zwischenstückes entlang der schiefen Ebenen statt, welche auch eine Bewegungskomponente senkrecht zur Achse des Spindeltriebes hat. In dieser Richtung erlaubt das Verstellelement sowohl die Ausübung von Druck- als auch von Zugkräften.To the generic adjustable door hinge two pivotally interconnected by a hinge assembly band parts. In this case, a band part on a receiving body, on which the joint assembly is arranged adjustable by an adjusting element. According to the invention, the adjusting element has a head piece and a foot piece which can be displaced linearly in the head piece along an axis. The head piece and the foot piece are connected to each other by a spindle drive for adjusting the distance in the direction of the axis. Between the head piece and the foot piece, an intermediate piece displaceably arranged along inclined oblique planes is arranged. The head piece and the foot piece engage behind with the intermediate piece on each of the two inclined planes. As a result, a positive inclined guide is formed, which is suitable to absorb tensile and pressure forces. By operating the spindle drive, the distance between the head and foot piece along the axis of the spindle drive changes. As a result, a displacement of the intermediate piece takes place along the inclined planes, which also has a component of movement perpendicular to the axis of the spindle drive. In this direction, the adjustment allows both the exercise of compressive and tensile forces.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung hintergreifen sich sowohl das Kopfstück als auch das Fußstück jeweils mit dem Zwischenstück mit einer Schwalbenschwanzführung. Eine Schwalbenschwanzführung ermöglicht eine gute Kraftübertragung und kann auch mit sehr kleinem Spiel ausgeführt sein, wodurch die Türbandverstellung sehr präzise erfolgen kann.In a preferred embodiment, both the head piece and the footpiece engage behind each with the intermediate piece with a dovetail guide. A dovetail guide allows a good power transmission and can also be performed with very little play, whereby the door hinge adjustment can be done very precisely.
Vorzugsweise sind das Kopfstück, das Fußstück oder das Zwischenstück an dem Aufnahmekörper oder an der Gelenkanordnung angeformt. Angeformt bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, dass das jeweilige Stück an dem entsprechenden Gegenstück entweder - z. B. durch Kleben oder Schweißen - dauerhaft verbunden ist oder als Teil desselben ausgebildet ist. So kann beispielsweise ein Teil des Aufnahmekörpers eine Bohrung zur Aufnahme des Spindeltriebs sowie eine hintergreifende Schrägführung aufweisen, die mit einer zugeordneten hintergreifenden Schrägführung des Zwischenstückes im Eingriff steht. Somit bildet der Teil des Aufnahmekörpers funktional das Kopfstück, wodurch das Kopfstück im Sinne der Erfindung am Aufnahmekörper angeformt ist. Hierdurch wird die Verstelleinrichtung relativ zum Aufnahmekörper festgelegt. Eine besonders gute Kraftweiterleitung ist gewährleistet und eine nachträgliche Befestigung kann - zumindest bei der einteilig angeformten Variante - entfallen. Auch kann hierdurch eine einheitliche Außenfläche hergestellt werden, die zu einer wertigen Optik beiträgt und das Eindringen von Schmutz verhindern kann.Preferably, the head piece, the foot piece or the intermediate piece are integrally formed on the receiving body or on the joint arrangement. Shaped means in this context that the respective piece of the corresponding counterpart either -. B. by gluing or welding - permanently connected or is formed as part of the same. For example, a part of the receiving body having a bore for receiving the spindle drive and a cross-engagement oblique guide, which is engaged with an associated engaging behind oblique guide of the intermediate piece. Thus, the part of the receiving body functionally forms the head piece, whereby the head piece is formed on the receiving body according to the invention. As a result, the adjusting device is fixed relative to the receiving body. A particularly good force transmission is ensured and a subsequent attachment can - at least in the one-piece molded variant - omitted. Also, this can be used to produce a uniform outer surface, which contributes to a high-quality look and can prevent the ingress of dirt.
Erfindungsgemäß ist die Gelenkanordnung in dem Aufnahmekörper entlang einer Verstellrichtung verschiebbar zwangsgeführt. Das Verstellelement ist mit senkrecht zur Verstellrichtung stehender Achse (des Spindeltriebes) zwischen der Gelenkanordnung und dem Aufnahmekörper angeordnet. Dabei ist das Zwischenstück an dem Aufnahmekörper oder an der Gelenkanordnung befestigt und das Kopfstück und das Fußstück sind in Richtung der Achse schwimmend gelagert. Das bedeutet, dass Kopf- und Fußstück in Achsrichtung eindimensional zwangsgeführt sind, so dass eine Abstandsänderung zwischen Kopf- und Fußstück in Folge der Betätigung des Spindeltriebes jederzeit ausgeglichen werden kann. In Zusammenwirkung mit der Zwangsführung der Gelenkanordnung wird eine Stellbewegung der Stellspindel in eine definierte Stellbewegung der Gelenkanordnung in Verstellrichtung übersetzt. Die Zwangsführung von Kopf- und Fußstück kann zusätzlich auch eine Verdrehsicherung beinhalten.According to the invention, the joint arrangement is displaceably guided in the receiving body along an adjustment direction. The adjusting element is arranged with an axis perpendicular to the adjustment axis (of the spindle drive) between the hinge assembly and the receiving body. In this case, the intermediate piece is attached to the receiving body or on the hinge assembly and the head piece and the foot piece are floatingly mounted in the direction of the axis. This means that the head and foot piece are forcibly one-dimensionally guided in the axial direction, so that a change in distance between the head and foot piece as a result of the operation of the spindle drive can be compensated at any time. In cooperation with the positive guidance of the joint arrangement is an adjusting movement of the adjusting spindle in a defined adjusting movement of the joint assembly in the adjustment translated. The positive guidance of the head and foot piece may additionally include an anti-twist device.
Die schwimmende Lagerung von Fuß- und Kopfstück kann überdies weitere Verstellbewegungen zulassen. Beispielsweise kann die Zwangsführung der Gelenkanordnung so ausgebildet sein, dass deren Bewegung nur in einer einzigen Raumrichtung beschränkt ist. Dann kann neben der durch das erfindungsgemäße Verstellelement gesteuerten Verstellbewegung in der Verstellrichtung auch eine Verschiebung der Gelenkanordnung und des Verstellelementes in Richtung der Drehachse des Spindeltriebes erfolgen. Diese wird durch einen separaten Stellantrieb gesteuert. Auch ist es möglich, dass Kopf- und Fußstück nicht verdrehgesichert schwimmend gelagert sind und diese somit als Schwenkachse für eine Schwenkbewegung dienen können.The floating storage of foot and head can also allow further adjustment movements. For example, the positive guidance of the joint arrangement can be designed so that their movement is limited only in a single spatial direction. Then, in addition to the adjusting movement controlled by the adjusting element according to the invention in the adjustment direction, a displacement of the joint arrangement and of the adjusting element in the direction of the axis of rotation of the spindle drive can take place. This is controlled by a separate actuator. It is also possible that head and foot are not stored against rotation floating and they can thus serve as a pivot axis for a pivoting movement.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführung sind zwischen Kopfstück und Fußstück zwei gegenüberliegende Zwischenstücke angeordnet. Diese sind jeweils durch spiegelsymmetrische gegenüberliegende hintergreifende Schrägführungen mit Kopf- und Fußstück verbunden. Dadurch ergibt sich bei einer Abstandsänderung zwischen Kopf- und Fußstück eine symmetrische radiale Bewegung der beiden Zwischenstücke. Die relative Bewegung zwischen dem ersten Zwischenstück und dem zweiten Zwischenstück wird dadurch zu einer rein linearen, zur Achse des Spindeltriebes senkrecht stehende Verschiebebewegung.In a particularly preferred embodiment, two opposing intermediate pieces are arranged between the head piece and the foot piece. These are each connected by mirror-symmetrical opposite underlying cross-angle guides with head and foot. This results in a change in distance between the head and foot symmetrical radial movement of the two intermediate pieces. The relative movement between the first intermediate piece and the second intermediate piece is thereby a purely linear, perpendicular to the axis of the spindle drive sliding movement.
Dabei ist es bevorzugt, wenn das erste Zwischenstück an dem Aufnahmekörper und das zweite Zwischenstück an der Gelenkanordnung befestigt ist. Hierdurch wird eine rein lineare Verstellbewegung zwischen Gelenkanordnung und Aufnahmekörper erzeugt, ohne dass hierzu eine Zwangsführung von Kopfstück und Fußstück notwendig ist.It is preferred if the first intermediate piece is attached to the receiving body and the second intermediate piece to the hinge assembly. As a result, a purely linear adjustment between the hinge assembly and receiving body is generated, without the need for positive guidance of the head piece and foot is necessary.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Spindeltrieb durch eine Doppelschraube mit Linksgewinde und Rechtsgewinde gebildet, die in zugeordnete Innengewinde an dem Kopfstück und an dem Fußstück eingreifen. Diese Ausgestaltung des Spindeltriebes zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Doppelschraube in Richtung ihrer Drehachse - mit Ausnahme der Gewinde - nicht zusätzlich abgestützt werden muss. Weiterhin verbleibt die Doppelschraube bei einer Betätigung in Längsrichtung der Achse ortsfest, so dass ein endseitig angeordneter Schraubenkopf zur Herstellung einer Wirkverbindung mit einem Verstellwerkzeug sich unabhängig von der Verstellposition immer in derselben Ebene befindet.Conveniently, the spindle drive is formed by a double screw with left-hand thread and right-hand thread, which engage in associated internal thread on the head piece and on the foot piece. This embodiment of the spindle drive is characterized in that the double screw in the direction of its axis of rotation - with the exception of the thread - does not need to be additionally supported. Furthermore, the double screw remains stationary during an actuation in the longitudinal direction of the axis, so that a screw head arranged at the end for producing an operative connection with an adjusting tool is always located in the same plane independently of the adjustment position.
In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung ist der Spindeltrieb durch eine einfache Schraube gebildet, die mit ihrem Kopf verschiebesicher in dem Kopfstück gelagert ist und mit ihrem Gewinde in ein zugeordnetes Innengewinde an dem Fußstück eingreift. Gegenüber einem Doppelgewinde ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass bei gleicher Gewindesteigung pro Umdrehung nur die Hälfte des Stellhubes zwischen Kopfstück und Fußstück erzeugt wird. Hierdurch ergibt sich einerseits eine gesteigerte Präzision bei der Einstellung. Andererseits können auch größere Kräfte auferzeugt werden. Diese Ausgestaltung lässt sich außerdem besonders einfach herstellen.In an alternative embodiment, the spindle drive is formed by a simple screw, which is mounted with its head secure against displacement in the head piece and engages with its thread in an associated internal thread on the foot piece. Compared to a double thread, there is the advantage that with the same thread pitch per revolution, only half of the adjusting stroke between the head piece and foot piece is produced. This results on the one hand an increased precision in the setting. On the other hand, larger forces can be generated. This embodiment can also be produced particularly easily.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Verstellelement verdrehsicher in eine zugeordnete Ausnehmung des Türbandes eingeschoben. Die Ausnehmung kann dabei gleichzeitig als schwimmendes Lager für Kopfstück und Fußstück dienen. Sollen nur Druckkräfte durch das Zwischenstück ausgeübt werden, sind keine weiteren Montagemaßnahmen erforderlich und das Türband ist sofort einsatzbereit. Somit ergibt sich eine besonders einfache Montage. Aber auch für eine Zugbeanspruchung kann das Türband in besonders einfacher und schneller Weise durch eine Verbindung zwischen Zwischenstück und Gelenkanordnung adaptiert werden. Dies kann beispielsweise durch eine Schraub- oder Schweißverbindung erreicht werden. Selbst in diesem Fall ergeben sich noch erhebliche Vereinfachungen gegenüber herkömmlichen Verstellelementen, da diese vollständig vormontiert werden können und als fertige Bauteile der Montage des Türbandes zugeführt werden.In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting element is inserted against rotation in an associated recess of the door hinge. The recess can serve at the same time as a floating bearing for head piece and foot. If only compressive forces are to be exerted through the intermediate piece, no further installation measures are required and the door hinge is ready for immediate use. This results in a particularly simple installation. But also for a tensile stress, the door hinge in particular simple and fast manner be adapted by a connection between the intermediate piece and joint arrangement. This can be achieved for example by a screw or welded connection. Even in this case, there are still considerable simplifications compared to conventional adjusting elements, since they can be completely pre-assembled and fed as finished components of the assembly of the door hinge.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Variante wird zwischen der Gelenkanordnung und dem Zwischenstück durch das Einschieben eine formschlüssige Verbindung an hinterschneidenden Profilen hergestellt. Hierdurch ist die Verbindung zwischen Zwischenstück und Gelenkanordnung auch ohne zusätzliche Maßnahmen bereit, sowohl Druck- als auch Zugkräfte aufzunehmen. Dazu kann die Gelenkanordnung beispielsweise mit einem eine Verbreiterung aufweisenden Vorsprung in die Ausnehmung des Türbandes hineinragen. Das Verstellelement weist eine zugeordnete längs verlaufene Ausnehmung auf, die beim Einschieben des Verstellelementes in die Ausnehmung mit dem Vorsprung in Eingriff kommt und diesen in der Endposition am Zwischenstück hält. Die die Verdrehsicherung sicherstellende Außenkontur des Verstellelementes im Schnitt senkrecht zur Achse des Spindeltriebes kann dabei zweckmäßigerweise so ausgebildet sein, dass das Verstellelement nur richtig herum in die Ausnehmung einführbar ist.In a particularly preferred variant, a positive connection to undercut profiles is produced by the insertion between the joint arrangement and the intermediate piece. As a result, the connection between the intermediate piece and joint arrangement is ready without additional measures to absorb both compressive and tensile forces. For this purpose, the joint arrangement can project, for example, with a projection having a broadening in the recess of the door hinge. The adjusting element has an associated longitudinal recess which engages with the projection during insertion of the adjusting element into the recess and holds it in the end position on the intermediate piece. The anti-rotation ensuring outer contour of the adjusting element in section perpendicular to the axis of the spindle drive can be suitably designed so that the adjustment is only properly inserted around in the recess.
