Description

Grundlage der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine Schiebetür mit Kompensationshilfe nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The present invention is based on a sliding door with a compensation aid according to the preamble of claim 1.

Absenkende Schiebetüren, insbesondere hermetisch oder dreiseitig schließende Schiebetüren, senken sich in den letzten Millimeter Fahrweg nach unten zum Boden und zum Rahmenhin ab, so dass eine umlaufende, an der Türe angebrachte, Dichtung mit leichtem Anpressdruck an dem Rahmen zur Anlage kommt.Lowering sliding doors, in particular sliding doors that close hermetically or on three sides, lower themselves in the last millimeter of travel down to the floor and towards the frame, so that a circumferential seal attached to the door comes into contact with the frame with light pressure.

Solche von einer horizontalen Bewegung abweichende Bewegungsrichtungen der Schiebtür werden durch eine Profilierung der Laufschiene ermöglicht. Die Laufrollen des Laufwagens der Schiebetür fahren dabei in die profilierten Segmente, sogenannten Kulissensegmenten, ein und die gesamte Türe wird nach unten und zum Rahmen hin bewegt.Such directions of movement of the sliding door that deviate from a horizontal movement are made possible by profiling the running rail. The rollers of the carriage of the sliding door move into the profiled segments, so-called link segments, and the entire door is moved downwards and towards the frame.

Hermetisch schließende Türen können sehr schwer sein, wie zum Beispiel im Spital-Bereich wo oft Blei zum Schutz vor Röntgenstrahlen in die Türblätter eingearbeitet wird.Hermetically closing doors can be very difficult, for example in hospitals where lead is often worked into the door leaves to protect against X-rays.

Aus energietechnischen und sicherheitsrelevanten Gründen ist es sinnvoll, dass hohe Gewicht des Türblatts beim Absenken zu kompensieren.For energy and safety reasons, it makes sense to compensate for the heavy weight of the door leaf when it is lowered.

Die DE 297 13 823 U1 offenbart eine Schiebetürschließeinrichtung, bei der das Türblatt mit einem Rollenlaufwerk an einer Laufschiene aufgehängt ist. Die Einrichtung weißt zudem eine Kompensationshilfe auf, die im Schließvorgang einen Kraftspeicher auflädt, wobei dem Gewicht des Türblattes die Federkraft mindestens eines Federkörpers entgegenwirkt. Der Laufwagen weist zu diesem Zweck oberhalb der Laufschiene mindestens eine weitere Laufrolle auf, die am freien schwenkbaren Ende eines federbelasteten Umlenkhebels angeordnet ist, und im Schließvorgang durch Kontakt mit der Laufschiene das Gewicht des Türblattes mindestens teilweise kompensiert,The DE 297 13 823 U1 discloses a sliding door closer in which the door leaf is suspended from a running rail with a roller drive. The device also has a compensation aid that charges an energy store during the closing process, the weight of the door leaf being counteracted by the spring force of at least one spring element. For this purpose, the carriage has at least one further roller above the running rail, which on the free pivotable end of a spring-loaded reversing lever is arranged, and during the closing process the weight of the door leaf is at least partially compensated by contact with the running rail,

Der Kraftspeicher übt permanenten Druck auf die weitere Laufrolle aus, welche wiederum permanent auf die Laufschiene drückt und somit den Rollwiderstand des gesamten Rollenlaufwerkes beeinflusst.The energy store exerts permanent pressure on the other roller, which in turn presses permanently on the running rail and thus influences the rolling resistance of the entire roller drive.

Die GB 1 572 638 A offenbart eine Kompensationshilfe zum vereinfachten Startvorgang der Öffnungsbewegung eines Türblattes einer Schiebetüranlage. Dazu weist eine auf einer Laufschiene abrollende Laufrolle einen Hebel auf, der seinen Drehpunkt im Mittelpunkt der Laufrolle hat, und wobei ein Ende des Hebels mit einer Kette und das andere Ende mit einer oberhalb des Mittelpunktes angeordneten Zusatzrolle verbunden ist. Über die Kette wird eine Kraft auf den Hebel ausgeübt, der durch den Kontakt der Zusatzrolle mit der Laufschiene, die Laufrolle aus einem Kulissensegment hebt und somit ein Anfahren der Laufrolle auf der Laufschiene ermöglicht.The GB 1 572 638 A discloses a compensation aid for the simplified starting process of the opening movement of a door leaf of a sliding door system. For this purpose, a roller rolling on a track has a lever which has its pivot point in the center of the roller, and one end of the lever is connected to a chain and the other end to an additional roller arranged above the center. A force is exerted on the lever via the chain, which, through the contact of the additional roller with the running rail, lifts the running roller out of a link segment and thus enables the running roller to approach the running rail.

Es ist kein Kraftspeicher vorhanden, der sich beim Einfahren in die Kulisse auflädt und die Kraft beim Ausfahren aus der Kulisse unterstürzend zur Verfügung stellt. Somit ist die Kompensationshilfe stets auf den Kettenantrieb angewiesen.There is no energy storage device that is charged when entering the backdrop and provides the power to support it when extending out of the backdrop. The compensation aid is therefore always dependent on the chain drive.

Eine Kompensation des Türgewichts ist auch für eine stromlose Notöffnung erforderlich, da beim Ausfall der Stromversorgung die Türe per Hand geöffnet werden muss.
Beispielsweise muss eine 300kg schwere Schiebetüre, welche sich im geschlossenen Zustand in den Kulissensegmenten befindet, bei Stromausfall per Hand geöffnet werden können.Compensation of the door weight is also necessary for a currentless emergency opening, since the door has to be opened by hand if the power supply fails.
For example, a 300kg sliding door that is in the closed position in the link segments must be able to be opened by hand in the event of a power failure.

Hierzu ist gemäß Norm eine Kraft von max. 220 Newton aufzubringen um die Tür mit den Laufrollen aus den einzelnen Kulissensegmenten der Laufschiene in Öffnungsrichtung heraus zu schieben.For this purpose, according to the standard, a force of max. 220 Newtons must be applied to push the door with the rollers out of the individual link segments of the running rail in the opening direction.

Bedingt durch die Kulissenform kann ohne Kompensationshilfe dabei sogar eine Kraft von über 700 Newton erforderlich sein, um die Laufrollen außer Eingriff der Kulissensegmente zu bringen.Due to the shape of the link, a force of more than 700 Newtons may be required without compensation aid to bring the rollers out of engagement with the link segments.

Bei einer Fehlfunktion muss beim aktuellen Stand der Technik über ein Griffhebelsystem die nötige Kraft aufgebracht werden, um die Türe bei einer Fehlfunktion zu öffnen.In the event of a malfunction, with the current state of the art, the necessary force must be applied via a handle lever system to open the door in the event of a malfunction.

Wäre keine Kompensationshilfe und kein Griffhebesystem vorhanden, könnte mit einer Kraft von weniger als 220 Newton lediglich eine 80kg schwere Türe geöffnet werden.If there were no compensation aid and no handle lifting system, only a door weighing 80 kg could be opened with a force of less than 220 Newtons.

Es ist aber meistens erforderlich ein Türgewicht zwischen 80kg und 300kg zu bewegen, da je nach Bauart und Anwendungszeck Glas, Blei oder eine Schalldämmung verbaut ist.However, it is usually necessary to move a door weight between 80kg and 300kg, since glass, lead or sound insulation is installed depending on the type and application.

Die EP 0 208 117 A2 zeigt eine luftdicht schließende Schiebetür mit einem Verschlussmechanismus der eine Absenkung von horizontal außen nach senkrecht unten ermöglicht. Dazu ist das Türblatt an Nocken einer Tragwelle aufgehängt, wobei die Nocken von der Tragwelle horizontal nach außen stehen und in dieser Stellung von einer oder mehreren Druckfedern zur Kraftkompensation eines Teils des Türblattgewichts abgestützt werden.
Die hier offenbarte Kompensationshilfe ist jedoch sehr kompliziert ausgebildet und benötigt eine Vielzahl an miteinander in Eingriff stehenden Komponenten, was die Kompensationshilfe fehleranfällig und teuer macht.The EP 0 208 117 A2 shows an airtight sliding door with a locking mechanism that allows lowering from horizontally outside to vertically below. For this purpose, the door leaf is suspended on cams of a support shaft, the cams of the support shaft projecting horizontally outwards and being supported in this position by one or more compression springs for force compensation of part of the door leaf weight.
The compensation aid disclosed here, however, has a very complicated design and requires a large number of interlocking components, which makes the compensation aid error-prone and expensive.

Somit ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Verschieben und ein Öffnen einer schweren Schiebetür bei Auftreten einer Fehlfunktion oderThus, it is the object of the present invention to slide and open a heavy sliding door in the event of a malfunction or

Stromausfall und bei Verwendung von wenigen mechanischen Komponenten zu ermöglichen.Power failure and the use of few mechanical components.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des unabhängigen Patentanspruches gelöst, während vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung den Unteransprüchen entnommen werden können.The object on which the invention is based is achieved by the features of the independent patent claim, while advantageous configurations and developments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

Wesentliches Merkmal ist, dass der Laufwagen mit einem vertikalen Versatz oberhalb der Laufschiene mindestens eine weitere Laufrolle aufweist, die im Schließvorgang in Kontakt mit der Laufschiene kommt und über einen Umlenkhebel auf einen Federkörper einwirkt und dadurch ein Teil des Türgewichts kompensiert.An essential feature is that the carriage has at least one further roller with a vertical offset above the running rail, which comes into contact with the running rail during the closing process and acts on a spring body via a deflection lever and thereby compensates for part of the door weight.

Eine solche Kompensationshilfe kann für jede absenkbare Schiebtüre verwendet werden.Such a compensation aid can be used for every lowerable sliding door.

An dem durchgehenden Laufwagen der Schiebetür, werden mit der Kompensationshilfe vorzugsweise zwei weitere Laufrollen angebracht. Während sich der Laufwagen in x-Richtung bewegt und mit seinen Rollen auf der horizontalen Laufschiene abrollt, befinden sich die Laufrollen der Kompensationshilfe mit einem definierten Abstand oberhalb der Laufschiene. Somit schweben die Rollen bei einer Bewegung in x-Richtung (Längsrichtung der Laufschiene) oberhalb der Laufschiene.On the continuous carriage of the sliding door, two further rollers are preferably attached with the compensation aid. While the carriage moves in the x-direction and rolls with its rollers on the horizontal running rail, the running rollers of the compensation aid are located at a defined distance above the running rail. Thus, when moving in the x-direction (longitudinal direction of the running rail), the rollers float above the running rail.

In der Laufschiene befinden sich profilierte Bereiche, sogenannte Kulissensegmente, welche eine von der in horizontaler Richtung verlaufenden geraden Laufschiene abweichende Formgebung aufweisen.In the running rail there are profiled areas, so-called link segments, which have a shape deviating from the straight running rail running in the horizontal direction.

Vorzugsweise besitzen die Kulissensegmente eine Vertiefung in Form einer kreissegmentartigen Ausbuchtung in z-Richtung. Der Höhenunterschied zwischen der horizontalen Laufschiene und dem tiefsten Punkt der Ausbuchtung in z-Richtung wird im Folgenden als Tiefe bezeichnet.Preferably, the link segments have a depression in the form of a segment-like bulge in the z-direction. The difference in height between the horizontal running rail and the lowest point of the bulge in the z-direction is referred to below as depth.

Sobald die Laufrollen des Laufwagens die Kulissensegmente erreichen, rollen sie in diese hinein. Durch die Bewegung der Laufrollen in z-Richtung bewegt sich auch der Laufwagen, an dem die zusätzliche Laufrolle aufgehängt ist, in z-Richtung.As soon as the rollers of the carriage reach the link segments, they roll into them. By moving the rollers in the z-direction, the carriage on which the additional roller is suspended also moves in the z-direction.

Bevorzugt werden mindesten zwei Kulissensegmente verwendet, damit ein mit zwei Laufrollen ausgestatteter Laufwagen gleichzeitig mit beiden Rollen in jeweils ein Kulissensegment einfahren kann.At least two link segments are preferably used so that a carriage equipped with two rollers can move into one link segment at the same time with both rollers.

Die weiteren Laufrollen der Kompensationshilfe befinden sich zunächst mit einem vertikalen Versatz oberhalb der Laufschiene, während sich die Laufrollen des Laufwagens in horizontaler Richtung auf dem Laufwagen abrollen. Ein solcher Versatz beträgt beispielsweise wenige zehntel Millimeter oder kann auch bis zu mehreren Millimeter, beispielsweise 6 Millimeter betragen.The other rollers of the compensation aid are initially with a vertical offset above the running rail, while the rollers of the carriage roll in a horizontal direction on the carriage. Such an offset is, for example, a few tenths of a millimeter or can also be up to several millimeters, for example 6 millimeters.

Solange sich der Laufwagen auf der Laufschiene befindet und sich lediglich in x-Richtung bewegt, ist die weitere Laufrolle der Kompensationshilfe in der sog. "0-Stellung", d.h. sie schwebt inaktiv über der Laufschiene mit.As long as the carriage is on the track and only moves in the x-direction, the other track roller of the compensation aid is in the so-called "0 position", i.e. it hovers inactive over the track.

Wenn sich der Laufwagen die ersten Millimeter in z-Richtung absenkt, kommen die weiteren Laufrollen der Kompensationshilfe in Kontakt mit der Laufschiene. Hierauf ist die vorliegende Erfindung nicht beschränkt. Die weiteren Laufrollen der Kompensationshilfe können auch direkt beim Einfahren der Laufrollen des Laufwagens in das Kulissensegment in Kontakt mit der Laufschiene kommen.When the carriage lowers the first millimeters in the z-direction, the other rollers of the compensation aid come into contact with the running rail. The present invention is not limited to this. The other rollers of the compensation aid can also come into contact with the running rail directly when the rollers of the carriage move into the link segment.

Sobald die weitere Laufrolle der Kompensationshilfe in Kontakt mit der Laufschiene kommt, wird das Federelement der Kompensationshilfe mittels eines Hebelmechanismus gespannt.As soon as the further roller of the compensation aid comes into contact with the running rail, the spring element of the compensation aid is tensioned by means of a lever mechanism.

Die Federenergie des Federelements wirkt somit der Türgewichtskraft entgegen.The spring energy of the spring element thus counteracts the weight of the door.

Ein solches Federelement kann Beispielsweise eine Schraubenfeder, eine Gasdruckfeder, ein Elastomerspeicher, ein Hydraulikspeicher, ein Druckluftspeicher oder ein sonstiger Federkörper sein, der eine Federkraft bereitstellt.Such a spring element can be, for example, a helical spring, a gas pressure spring, an elastomer accumulator, a hydraulic accumulator, a compressed air accumulator or some other spring body which provides a spring force.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Kompensationshilfe wird somit die Türflügelmasse durch ein Federelement kompensiert. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, indem durch ein Hebelumlenksystem das Federelement komprimiert wird. Die komprimierte Energie wirkt der Gewichtskraft entgegen.With the compensation aid according to the invention, the door leaf mass is thus compensated by a spring element. This is achieved by compressing the spring element using a lever deflection system. The compressed energy counteracts the weight.

Der Umlenkhebel ist hierbei ein zweiarmiger Hebel, mit einem langen und einem kurzen Kraftarm und eine mit dem Laufwagen verbundene Drehachse. Von der Drehachse aus gesehen greifen die Kräfte von zwei verschiedenen Seiten. Die durch die Gewichtskraft der Türe auf den Umlenkhebel wirkende Kraft wird durch den Umlenkhebel in eine in entgegengesetzter Richtung auf die Feder wirkende Kraft umgeformt.The reversing lever is a two-armed lever with a long and a short power arm and a pivot axis connected to the carriage. Seen from the axis of rotation, the forces act from two different sides. The force acting on the reversing lever due to the weight of the door is converted by the reversing lever into a force acting in the opposite direction on the spring.

Durch die Kompensationshilfe kann auf ein aufwendiges Handhebelsystem somit verzichtet werden. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Kompensationshilfe ist auch eine Einsparung von elektrischer Energie möglich, welche erforderlich wäre um die Türe in x-Richtung aus der Kulisse heraus zu bewegen.The compensation aid means that there is no need for a complex hand lever system. With the compensation aid according to the invention, it is also possible to save electrical energy, which would be required to move the door out of the gate in the x-direction.

Es ist somit nur eine Kraftaufwendung von beispielsweise kleiner gleich 220 Newton erforderlich, um die Schiebetüre zu öffnen. Die Normanforderung wird dadurch erfüllt.It is therefore only necessary to apply force of less than or equal to 220 Newtons, for example, to open the sliding door. The standard requirement is thereby met.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass der Türantrieb nicht wie bei beispielsweise einer größeren Türe dimensioniert werden muss. Allein durch die Gewichtskraft der Türe wird die Feder gespannt und speichert somit Energie, welche später zur Kompensation genutzt werden kann.Another advantage is that the door drive does not have to be dimensioned as with a larger door, for example. The spring is tensioned solely by the weight of the door and thus stores energy which can later be used for compensation.

Die weitere Laufrolle der Kompensationshilfe wird bei Kontakt mit der Laufschiene nach oben gedrückt. Die weitere Laufrolle ist dabei am Ende des Umlenkhebels befestigt, welcher über eine Achse mit dem Laufwagen verbunden ist. Durch die Bewegung der weiteren Laufrolle verschwenkt somit der Umlenkhebel um den von der Achse gebildeten Drehpunkt im Uhrzeigersinn.The other roller of the compensation aid is pushed upwards when it comes into contact with the running rail. The other roller is attached to the end of the reversing lever, which is connected to the carriage via an axle. As a result of the movement of the further roller, the reversing lever swivels clockwise about the pivot point formed by the axis.

Das der weiteren Laufrolle entgegengesetzte Ende des Umlenkhebels wird aufgrund dieser Bewegung ebenfalls um den Drehpunkt verschwenkt und wirkt somit auf den Federkörper, der an diesem Ende befestigt ist, ein. Die Feder des Federkörpers wird dadurch komprimiert.The end of the reversing lever opposite the further roller is also pivoted about the pivot point due to this movement and thus acts on the spring body which is attached to this end. The spring of the spring body is thereby compressed.

Durch die verschiedenen Abstände von der Achse der weiteren Laufrolle zum Drehpunkt des Umlenkhebels, wie auch dem Abstand von dem Drehpunkt zum Federkörper entsteht eine entsprechende Über- oder Untersetzung des Federweges.The different distances from the axis of the further roller to the pivot point of the reversing lever, as well as the distance from the pivot point to the spring body, result in a corresponding step-up or step-down of the spring travel.

Die vorgespannte Feder wird zwischen einer Anlagefläche des Kopfteils des Federkörpers und dem Fußteil des Federkörpers gehalten. Beim Einfedern wird die Anlagefläche des Kopfteils gegen die Feder gedrückt.The pretensioned spring is held between a contact surface of the head part of the spring body and the foot part of the spring body. During compression, the contact surface of the head part is pressed against the spring.

Die Vorspannung kann mittels Distanzscheiben variiert werden, welche zwischen Anlagefläche des Kopfteils und der Feder eingelegt werden. Alternativ kann die Vorspannung über eine Schraube eingestellt werden, welche den Abstand zwischen Kopfteil und Fußteil einstellt. Die Schraube wird dabei von dem Federelement des Federkörpers umschlossen.The preload can be varied by means of spacers which are inserted between the contact surface of the head part and the spring. Alternatively, the preload can be adjusted using a screw that adjusts the distance between the head section and the foot section. The screw is enclosed by the spring element of the spring body.

Diese Einstellung der Vorspannung muss mit dem Türgewicht korrelieren. Es gilt die Kompensation so zu wählen, dass das kompensierte Türgewicht 80kg nicht überschreitet. Die Türflügel können mit der erfindungsgemäßen Kompensationshilfe somit beispielsweise 300kg schwer sein, wobei die Kompensation somit 220kg beträgt.This preload setting must correlate with the door weight. The compensation must be selected so that the compensated door weight does not exceed 80kg. With the compensation aid according to the invention, the door leaves can thus weigh, for example, 300 kg, the compensation thus being 220 kg.

Neben der Vorspannung dient die Schraube zur Einstellung des Abstandes zwischen Kopf-und Fußteil auch dazu, die Feder spielfrei zu lagern, da der Federkörper sofort auf den ersten zehntel Millimeter für eine Kompensation wirken muss.In addition to the pretensioning, the screw is used to adjust the distance between the head and foot parts also to support the spring without play, since the The spring body has to act immediately on the first tenth of a millimeter for compensation.

Im unbelasteten Zustand wirkt auf die Feder lediglich die Vorspannkraft und keine Kraft ausgehend vom Umlenkhebel.In the unloaded state, only the preload force acts on the spring and no force from the reversing lever.

Wenn der Laufwagen in die Kulissensegmente hineinfährt (z-Richtung) und sich dabei absenkt, wird die weitere _aufrolle der Kompensationshilfe nach oben gedrückt "aktiv". Dadurch wird die Feder gespannt. Diese Federkraft wirkt dem Türblattgewicht entgegen. Diese entgegengesetzte Kraft kompensiert teilweise die Gewichtskraft der Türe.When the carriage moves into the link segments (z-direction) and lowers in the process, the further rewinding of the compensation aid is pushed upwards "active". This will tension the spring. This spring force counteracts the weight of the door leaf. This opposing force partially compensates for the weight of the door.

Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Laufwagens befindet sich ein Einstellmechanismus über welchen der Versatz, also der Abstand der weiteren _aufrolle über der Laufschiene, einstellbar ist. Dies ist die "0-Stellung." Wenn eine weniger starke Kompensation gefordert ist, kann der Abstand auch erhöht werden, so das die Rolle erst später in Eingriff kommt.On the opposite side of the carriage there is an adjustment mechanism by means of which the offset, i.e. the distance between the further rollers above the running rail, can be adjusted. This is the "0 position." If less compensation is required, the distance can also be increased so that the role does not come into engagement until later.

Der Einstellmechanismus weist eine Schraubverbindung mit dem Fußteil des Federkörpers auf. Diese Schraubverbindung durchgreift eine längliche Führung im Laufwagen.The adjustment mechanism has a screw connection with the foot part of the spring body. This screw connection extends through an elongated guide in the carriage.

Am Einstellmechanismus befindet sich eine Justierschraube mit welcher auf die Position der Schraubverbindung eingewirkt werden kann. Durch eine Veränderung der Position des Fußteils des Federkörpers ändert sich aufgrund der Hebelverbindung auch der Versatz der weiteren Laufrolle, damit diese erst im Absenkungsbereich aktiv wird.There is an adjusting screw on the adjustment mechanism with which the position of the screw connection can be adjusted. By changing the position of the foot part of the spring body, the offset of the further roller also changes due to the lever connection, so that it only becomes active in the lowering area.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Hierbei gehen aus den Zeichnungen und ihrer Beschreibung weitere Vorteile der Erfindung hervor.In the following, the invention is explained in more detail with reference to drawings showing only one embodiment. Further advantages of the invention emerge from the drawings and their description.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Laufwagen 7 an dem ein Türblatt 1 hängend montiert ist. Der Laufwagen 7 ist über die Rollen 22 auf einer Laufschiene 20 in Pfeilrichtung 19 (x-Richtung) verfahrbar. Die Laufschiene 20 weist in ihrer Längserstreckung unterschiedlich profilierte Bereiche auf, welche die Rollen 22 in einer von der x-Richtung abweichenden Richtung lenken. Diese Bereiche werden als Kulissensegmente 21 bezeichnet und weisen eine von der horizontalen geraden Lauffläche 20 abweichende Tiefe 39 auf. Somit bewegt sich eine Laufrolle 22 beim Einfahren in die Kulissensegmente 21 um die Wegstrecke der Tiefe 39 in Pfeilrichtung 17 (z-Richtung) nach unten.The Figure 1 shows a carriage 7 on which a door leaf 1 is suspended. The carriage 7 can be moved via the rollers 22 on a running rail 20 in the direction of the arrow 19 (x direction). The longitudinal extension of the running rail 20 has regions with different profiles, which guide the rollers 22 in a direction deviating from the x direction. These areas are referred to as link segments 21 and have a depth 39 that differs from the horizontal straight running surface 20. Thus, a roller 22 moves when entering the link segments 21 by the distance of the depth 39 in the direction of arrow 17 (z-direction) down.

In dem gezeigten Beispiel nach Figur 1 weist der Laufwagen 7 zwei Laufrollen 22 und dementsprechend auch zwei Kulissensegmente 21 auf, in die die Laufrollen einrollen können. Durch das Einrollen der Laufrollen 22 in diese Kulissensegmente wird somit auch der Laufwagen 7 und das daran montierte Türblatt 1 um die Wegstrecke der Tiefe 39 in Pfeilrichtung 17 bewegt.In the example shown after Figure 1 the carriage 7 has two rollers 22 and accordingly also two link segments 21 into which the rollers can roll. By rolling the rollers 22 into these link segments, the carriage 7 and the door leaf 1 mounted thereon are thus also moved by the distance of the depth 39 in the direction of arrow 17.

Zwischen den Laufrollen 22 befinden sich zwei weitere Laufrollen 2 in der Höhe eines Versatzes 26 oberhalb der Laufschiene 21. Die Laufrollen 2 sind an einem Umlenkhebel 3 drehbar gelagert.Between the rollers 22 there are two further rollers 2 at an offset 26 above the running rail 21. The rollers 2 are rotatably mounted on a deflection lever 3.

Der Umlenkhebel 3 ist über eine Achse 40 mit dem Laufwagen 7 verbunden, wobei die Achse 40 den Drehpunkt 5 des Umlenkhebels bildet.The reversing lever 3 is connected to the carriage 7 via an axle 40, the axle 40 forming the pivot point 5 of the reversing lever.

An einem Ende des Umlenkhebels 3 ist die Laufrolle 2 mit einer Drehachse 28 drehbar gelagert. Die Drehachse 28 bildet somit den Drehpunkt 4 der Laufrolle 2.At one end of the reversing lever 3, the roller 2 is rotatably mounted with an axis of rotation 28. The axis of rotation 28 thus forms the fulcrum 4 of the roller 2.

Am anderen Ende des Umlenkhebels 3 ist dieser über eine Achse 41 mit dem Kopfteil 10 eines Federkörpers 8 verbunden. Das Federelement des Federkörpers in dem hier gezeigten Beispiel ist eine Schraubenfeder 42, welche zwischen dem Kopfteil 10 und dem Fußteil 15 montiert ist und eine Führung 14 ummantelt.
Das Fußteil 15 ist über eine Drehachse 34 mit dem Laufwagen 7 verbunden.At the other end of the reversing lever 3, the latter is connected to the head part 10 of a spring body 8 via an axis 41. The spring element of the spring body in the example shown here is a helical spring 42 which is mounted between the head part 10 and the foot part 15 and encases a guide 14.
The foot part 15 is connected to the carriage 7 via an axis of rotation 34.

Gemäß Figur 1 befindet sich der Federkörper im 0-Stellungs Zustand wodurch die Schraubenfeder 42 neben einer Vorspannung nicht belastet ist.According to Figure 1 If the spring body is in the 0 position, the helical spring 42 is not loaded in addition to a preload.

In Figur 2 ist der Laufwagen 7 mit den Laufrollen 22 in die Kulissensegmente 21 eingefahren. In dieser Position hat sich der Laufwagen um die Wegstrecke der Tiefe 39 in Pfeilrichtung 17 (z-Richtung) nach unten bewegt und die Laufrollen 2 der Kompensationshilfe 52 kommen in Kontakt mit der Lauschiene 20.In Figure 2 the carriage 7 with the rollers 22 has moved into the link segments 21. In this position, the carriage has moved the distance of the depth 39 downwards in the direction of arrow 17 (z-direction) and the rollers 2 of the compensation aid 52 come into contact with the listening rail 20.

Durch diesen Kontakt werden die Laufrollen 2 in Pfeilrichtung 29 (z-Richtung) nach oben gedrückt. Da die Laufrollen 2 durch die Drehachse28 mit dem Umlenkhebel 3 verbunden ist, wirkt die Kraft von der Aufstandsfläche der Laufrollen 2 auf der Laufschiene 20 auf den Umlenkhebel 3. Dieser wird dadurch um die Drehachse 40 im Uhrzeigersinn gedreht.This contact pushes the rollers 2 upwards in the direction of the arrow 29 (z-direction). Since the rollers 2 is connected to the pivot lever 3 by the pivot 28, the force from the contact surface of the rollers 2 on the track 20 acts on the pivot lever 3. This is thereby rotated about the pivot 40 clockwise.

Da am anderen Ende des Umlenkhebels 3 der Federkörper 8 drehbar montiert ist, wirkt die Kraft über den Umlenkhebel 3 übersetzt auf den Federkörper 8.Since the spring body 8 is rotatably mounted at the other end of the reversing lever 3, the force acts on the spring body 8 in a translated manner via the reversing lever 3.

Durch diese Kraftweinwirkung auf den Federkörper 8 wird die befindliche Schraubenfeder 42 auf die gespannte Federlänge 25 zusammengedrückt.Due to this Kraftwein effect on the spring body 8, the coil spring 42 located is compressed to the tensioned spring length 25.

Figur 3 zeigt eine Detailansicht der erfindungsgemäßen Kompensationshilfe 52 im unbelasteten Zustand. Figure 3 shows a detailed view of the compensation aid 52 according to the invention in the unloaded state.

Die Laufrolle 2 ist über die Drehachse 28 an dem Umlenkhebel 3 befestigt, welcher über die Drehachse 40 drehbar am Laufwagen 7 montiert ist.The roller 2 is fastened via the axis of rotation 28 to the reversing lever 3, which is rotatably mounted on the carriage 7 via the axis of rotation 40.

Am anderen Ende des Umlenkhebels 3 ist das Kopfteil des Federkörpers 8 über die Drehachse 41 drehbar mit dem Umlenkhebel verbunden.At the other end of the reversing lever 3, the head part of the spring body 8 is rotatably connected to the reversing lever via the axis of rotation 41.

Die Drehachsen 28 und 41 sind somit nicht in direktem Kontakt mit dem Laufwagen 7, sondern dienen zur Befestigung der Laufrolle 2 und des Federkörpers 8 mit dem Umlenkhebel 3.The axes of rotation 28 and 41 are therefore not in direct contact with the carriage 7, but are used to fasten the roller 2 and the spring body 8 to the deflection lever 3.

An dem Kopfteil 10 schließt sich die Schraubenfeder 42 an, die eine zylindrische Führung 14 in sich aufgenommen hat. Die Schraubenfeder 42 liegt mit ihrem anderen Ende an dem Fußteil 15 des Federkörpers 8 an.The helical spring 42, which has received a cylindrical guide 14 in itself, connects to the head part 10. The other end of the helical spring 42 rests on the foot part 15 of the spring body 8.

Das Fußteil des Federkörpers 8 ist über eine Drehachse 34 mit dem Laufwagen 7 drehbar verbunden. Die Drehachse 34 bildet somit einen Drehpunkt 9 des Fußteils 15.The foot part of the spring body 8 is rotatably connected to the carriage 7 via an axis of rotation 34. The axis of rotation 34 thus forms a pivot point 9 of the foot part 15.

Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Laufwagens 7 befindet sich die Einstellung 16, wobei das Fußteil des Federkörpers 8 über eine durch den Laufwagen durchgreifende Schraube 43 mit der Einstellung verbunden ist.The setting 16 is located on the opposite side of the carriage 7, the foot part of the spring body 8 being connected to the setting via a screw 43 that extends through the carriage.

Figur 4 zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung der Kompensationshilfe 52 im belasteten Zustand. Durch den Kontakt der Laufrolle 2 mit der Laufschiene wird die Laufrolle 2 aufgrund der nun auf sie wirkenden Kraft um den Versatz 26 in Pfeilrichtung 29 nach oben gedrückt. Da die Laufrolle 2 an dem Umlenkhebel 3, welcher über die Drehachse 40 mit der Laufwagen 7 verbunden ist, drehbar gelagert ist, verschiebt sich der Drehpunkt 4 der Laufrolle. Figure 4 shows a sectional view of the compensation aid 52 in the loaded state. As a result of the contact of the roller 2 with the running rail, the roller 2 is pressed upwards by the offset 26 in the direction of arrow 29 due to the force now acting on it. Since the roller 2 is rotatably mounted on the reversing lever 3, which is connected to the carriage 7 via the axis of rotation 40, the pivot point 4 of the roller moves.

Der Drehpunkt 4 wird hierbei durch die Drehachse 28 gebildet, mit der die Laufrolle 2 am Drehhebel 3 montiert ist.The fulcrum 4 is formed here by the axis of rotation 28 with which the roller 2 is mounted on the rotary lever 3.

Durch die Bewegung der Laufrolle 2 aufgrund des Kontakts mit der Laufschiene verschiebt sich der Drehpunkt 4 um den Winkel 30 auf einer Kreisbahn um die Drehachse 40 und bildet nun den Drehpunkt 4'.As a result of the movement of the roller 2 due to the contact with the running rail, the point of rotation 4 shifts by the angle 30 on a circular path around the axis of rotation 40 and now forms the point of rotation 4 '.

Durch die Bewegung des Umlenkhebels 3 bewegt sich auch die Drehachse 41 mit der das Kopfteil 10 des Federkörpers 8 an dem Umlenkhebel 3 befestigt ist.As a result of the movement of the reversing lever 3, the axis of rotation 41 with which the head part 10 of the spring body 8 is attached to the reversing lever 3 also moves.

Der durch diese Drehachse 41 gebildete Drehpunkt 6 wandert somit um den Winkel 31 auf einer Kreisbahn um die Drehachse 40 und bildet nun den Drehpunkt 6'.The fulcrum 6 formed by this axis of rotation 41 thus wanders through the angle 31 on a circular path around the axis of rotation 40 and now forms the point of rotation 6 '.

Da sich der durch die Drehachse 41 gebildete Verbindungspunkt des Kopfteils bewegt, wirkt sich diese Bewegung auch auf den gesamten Federkörper 8 aus.Since the connection point of the head part formed by the axis of rotation 41 moves, this movement also has an effect on the entire spring body 8.

Das Kopfteil 10 liegt mit einer Anlagefläche 12 an der Schraubenfeder 42 an und wirkt auf diese in Pfeilrichtung 45 ein. Durch dieses Einwirken wird die Schraubenfeder um die Weglänge 33 komprimiert.The head part 10 rests with a contact surface 12 on the helical spring 42 and acts on it in the direction of arrow 45. As a result of this action, the helical spring is compressed by the distance 33.

Die Schraubenfeder 42 umgibt eine zylindrische Führung 14, die eine Verbindung zwischen dem Kopfteil 10 und dem Fußteil 15 des Federkörpers 8 herstellt. Im Inneren dieser hohlen zylindrischen Führung 14 ist eine Schraube 13 eingeschraubt, die mit ihrem Außengewinde in ein Innengewinde im Fussteil 15 eingreift.The helical spring 42 surrounds a cylindrical guide 14 which establishes a connection between the head part 10 and the foot part 15 of the spring body 8. A screw 13 is screwed into the interior of this hollow cylindrical guide 14, the external thread of which engages in an internal thread in the foot part 15.

Der Kopf der Schaube 13 ist in einem Kolben 11 im Inneren des Kopfteils 10 aufgenommen.The head of the screw 13 is received in a piston 11 in the interior of the head part 10.

Durch ein Eindrehen der Schraube 13 in das Gewinde kann der Abstand 46 zwischen dem Kopfteil 10 und dem Fußteil 15 verändert werden.By screwing the screw 13 into the thread, the distance 46 between the head part 10 and the foot part 15 can be changed.

Der Abstand 46 gibt die Länge zwischen der Anlagefläche 12 der Schraube am Kopfteil und der Anlagefläche 47 der Schraube am Fußteil an.The distance 46 indicates the length between the contact surface 12 of the screw on the head part and the contact surface 47 of the screw on the foot part.

Damit ist es möglich den Abstand 46 an die Länge der Schraubenfeder 42 anzupassen, um diese spielfrei einbauen zu können.It is thus possible to adapt the distance 46 to the length of the helical spring 42 in order to be able to install it without play.

Durch ein weiteres Eindrehen der Schraube ist es möglich die Schraubenfeder 42 vorzuspannen.By screwing in the screw further, it is possible to preload the helical spring 42.

Figur 5 ist eine perspektivische Ansicht der Kompensationshilfe 52 mit dem Einstellmechanismus 16 auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Laufwagens 7. Figure 5 FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the compensation aid 52 with the adjustment mechanism 16 on the opposite side of the carriage 7.

Der Einstellmechanismus 16 ist über eine Schraube 43 mit dem Fußteil 15 des Federkörpers 8 verbunden.The adjustment mechanism 16 is connected to the foot part 15 of the spring body 8 via a screw 43.

Das Kopfteil 10 des Federkörpers 8 ist in Richtung des Umlenkhebels gabelartig ausgebildet und nimmt den Umlenkhebel 3 zwischen sich auf. Als Verbindung zwischen diesen Bauteilen dient die Drehachse 41 welche bolzenartig ausgebildet ist.The head part 10 of the spring body 8 is designed like a fork in the direction of the reversing lever and takes the reversing lever 3 between itself. The axis of rotation 41, which is designed like a bolt, serves as the connection between these components.

Am anderen Ende des Umlenkhebels 3 ist die Laufrolle 2 aufgenommen. Der Umlenkhebel 3 ist hierbei gabelartig ausgebildet und nimmt die Laufrolle 2 zwischen sich auf.At the other end of the reversing lever 3, the roller 2 is received. The reversing lever 3 is designed like a fork and takes the roller 2 between them.

Als Verbindung zwischen diesen Bauteilen dient die Drehachse 28, welche bolzenartig ausgebildet ist.The axis of rotation 28, which is designed like a bolt, serves as the connection between these components.

Die Gabel 27 ist breiter ausgebildet als die Breite der Laufrolle 2. Somit ist es möglich einen Versatz in Pfeilrichtung 18 (y-Richtung) der Laufschiene gegenüber der Laufrolle auszugleichen.The fork 27 is made wider than the width of the roller 2. It is thus possible to compensate for an offset in the direction of arrow 18 (y-direction) of the running rail with respect to the roller.

Figur 6 zeigt den Einstellmechanismus 16 auf der Rückseite des Laufwagens 7, welcher mit den Schrauben 32 mit diesem verschraubt ist. Figure 6 shows the adjustment mechanism 16 on the back of the carriage 7, which is screwed with the screws 32 with this.

Die Schraube 43 greift als Verbindung zwischen dem Einstellmechanismus 16 und dem Fußteil 15 des Federkörpers 8 durch eine Führung 44 im Laufwagen 7 hindurch. Die Führung 44 ist länglich ausgebildet und erstreckt sich in Pfeilrichtung 19. In dieser Führung 44 kann sich die Schraube 43 in Pfeilrichtung 19 bewegen.The screw 43, as a connection between the adjustment mechanism 16 and the foot part 15 of the spring body 8, engages through a guide 44 in the carriage 7. The guide 44 is elongated and extends in the direction of arrow 19. In this guide 44, the screw 43 can move in the direction of arrow 19.

Die Schraube 43 ist in einer Schraubenaufnahme 50 gelagert, die in ihrem oberen Bereich mit einer Justierschraube 48 verbunden ist.The screw 43 is mounted in a screw receptacle 50, which is connected to an adjusting screw 48 in its upper area.

Im unteren Bereich der Schraubenaufnahme ist ein Haltearm 49 angebracht, der so gebogen ist, dass er mit einem Ende die Justierschraube 48 aufnehmen kann. Hierfür weist der Haltearm 49 eine Bohrung auf, durch die die Justierschraube 48 durchgreift.In the lower area of the screw receptacle, a holding arm 49 is attached which is bent in such a way that it can receive the adjusting screw 48 with one end. For this purpose, the holding arm 49 has a hole through which the adjusting screw 48 extends.

Die Justierschraube 48 weist einen Kopf 37 auf, der auf der äußeren Fläche 35 des Haltearms 49 um die Bohrung herum anliegt.The adjusting screw 48 has a head 37 which rests on the outer surface 35 of the holding arm 49 around the bore.

Soll nun der Abstand 26 verändert werden, welches die Distanz zwischen der Laufrolle 2 und der Kulisse 20 beschreibt, wird die Justierschraube in die Schraubenaufnahme 50 eingeschraubt. Damit bewegt sich der Drehpunkt 9 des Federkörpers 8 in Pfeilrichtung 19 und der an dem Federkörper 8 befestigte Umlenkhebel 3 bewegt die Laufrolle 2 in Pfeilrichtung 17 nach unten.
Nach der Feinjustierung, wird mit den Muttern 38 die Einstellung der Justierschraube 48 fixiert.If the distance 26 is to be changed, which describes the distance between the roller 2 and the gate 20, the adjusting screw is in the Screw receptacle 50 screwed in. The pivot point 9 of the spring body 8 thus moves in the direction of arrow 19 and the deflection lever 3 attached to the spring body 8 moves the roller 2 in the direction of arrow 17 downwards.
After the fine adjustment, the setting of the adjusting screw 48 is fixed with the nuts 38.
