Description

The invention relates to a motor-operated gate with the features of claim 1. Accordingly, the garage door on a single or multi-membered door leaf, which may close a door opening and admit freely. To move the door leaf from an approximately vertical closed position to an approximately horizontal opening position and vice versa serve, usually two, guide rails. In particular, the guide rails may have at least one approximately vertical guide profile, at least one approximately horizontal guide profile and at least one curved, a vertical and horizontal guide rail profile connecting arch profile. At least one drive element, preferably a drive element extending in the middle region of the door width, extends approximately horizontally in the direction of the door leaf and away from the door leaf; It is an approximately horizontal drive path and serves to move the door leaf between its open position and closed position and vice versa and is coupled to the door leaf or coupled. The drive element is connected or connectable to at least one drive motor driving the drive element in the drive sense.

For the purposes of the invention, the term "gate" is understood to mean any raisable and lowerable closures of openings of the aforementioned type. Single-lobed door leaves, how they z. B. used as overhead doors for garages, fall as well under the invention as, preferably, multi-membered door leaves of so-called sectional doors, as they are approximately from the DE 44 10 051 A1 or the DE 298 13 029 U1 are known, the height and thus the number of sections is arbitrary. Likewise, in principle, roller shutters fall under the invention. Furthermore, the invention includes such motor-operated gates of various types, which have a weight balancing device to balance the weight of the door, especially in its closed or partially closed position to a certain extent.

TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

Motorized doors can only be mounted on a door opening as a preassembled unit with considerable effort. this is because they are usually wider and higher than the door opening. Rather, gates are assembled in succession from a plurality of individual components on site successively, adjusted and interconnected. This requires some practical experience, u. A. just because the installation conditions can be very different from case to case. Despite extensive prefabrication local adjustments to the circumstances are necessary. This is not only time consuming but usually requires a plurality of fitters who have to work very coordinated together.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Based on this, the present invention seeks to improve the door mounting and in particular to make more economical. To solve this task the invention proposes a motor-operated gate with the features of claim 1. Accordingly, at least one coupling means is provided in a generic motor-operated gate. The coupling means is connected or connectable to the drive element and serves for the motorized lifting of the door leaf or of the door leaf elements and / or a weight compensation device. Furthermore, at least one deflection means is provided, which is arranged in an end region of an approximately horizontal drive path along which the drive means is movable. Furthermore, at least one lifting element is provided which is provided or attachable to the door leaf or to the door leaf members or to an existing weight compensation device. Finally, at least one traction means is provided which, on the one hand, is connected or connectable to the coupling means and via this to the drive element and, on the other hand, is connected or connectable to the lifting element. The at least one traction means is deflected about the at least one deflecting element near the plane of the closed position of the door leaf and / or near the mounting position of the existing weight compensation device approximately at right angles.

A motorized gate is in this way very easy, fast and possibly even mountable by a single fitter, even if the gate is very wide. The module used in addition to a generic motorized gate or required components are very little expensive, can be used universally and are if desired multiple times, as they do not necessarily have to remain permanently on the gate. They therefore represent an optionally reusable assembly aid.

It is now possible in various ways to carry out the invention: in an embodiment in which the horizontal drive path does not extend to the preferred position for the deflecting element, the deflecting element may be provided on a separate holding profile and the holding profile with the drive train, ie in usually associated with an elongate metallic profile which receives the drive element. Preference is given to a detachable screw connection and / or a variable-length connection between the profile of the drive rail and the retaining profile for the deflection element.

If the retaining profile to be removed after installation and projecting relatively far from the drive rail, a removable profile support can be provided, which can be fixed in the gate opening or near the door opening, in particular clamped.

The abovementioned and the claimed components to be used according to the invention described in the exemplary embodiments are not subject to any special exceptional conditions in terms of their size, shape design, material selection and technical design, so that the selection criteria known in the field of application can be used without restriction

Further details, features and advantages of the subject matter of the invention will become apparent from the subclaims, as well as from the following description and the accompanying drawings, in which - exemplary - embodiments motorized gate according to the invention is shown. Also, individual features of the claims or of the embodiments may be combined with other features of other claims and embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

From the Figures 1A to 1D is a motor-operated, generally designated by a 100 gate in which a door opening 1 of an otherwise fragmentary and hatched building of a door leaf 2 is closed, which is mehrgliedrig in the illustrated and preferred embodiment so far and from, also referred to as gate sections, door leaf members 2A to 2D and is in a first mounting position, in which the lowermost Torblattglied 2A is already installed and the remaining three Torblattglieder 2B to 2D rest on a mobile block. Guide rails are located in a known manner near the side edges of the door opening 1. In the figures, the guide rail 3A is visible, which consists in the illustrated embodiment of a vertical, a horizontal and a connecting both curved guide rail section. The guide rails are used to move a multi-unit door leaf in a lifting / panning / sliding process from an approximately vertical closed position C (see Figures 1A and 1D ) in an approximately horizontal opening position, ie approximately parallel to the horizontal part of the guide rails and vice versa.

Below the ceiling of the door opening 1 having space extends, approximately in the middle of the gate, a drive rail 4A, which defines an approximately horizontal drive path L, whose end portions are designated gate opening side with 8A and interior space with 8B. Along the drive path L, a drive element 4 is movable in the direction of the door opening and away from the door opening approximately horizontally. The drive element is coupled in a known manner with the door leaf or coupled to the door leaf between its two extreme positions, ie between the closed position C and the open position O, motorized. For this purpose, the drive element 4 is driven by a drive motor 5. Such door drive systems are known in various designs.

In order to bring the door leaf members 2A to 2D in a vertical position during assembly in position, connect to each other and attach to the guide rail, at least one coupling means 7A is provided, which is connected or connectable to the drive element 4 and the lifting of the door leaf 2 or the door leaf members 2A to 2D by motor actuation of the drive element is used. At least one connected to the coupling means 7A or connectable, preferably double-stranded, traction means 10; 10A, 10B is deflected via at least one deflection element 9A, such as at least one horizontally mounted deflection roller or, as shown, a deflection roller pair. The deflecting element is located more or less close to the plane of the closed position C, so that a Torblattglied stored on the block near its future installation level can be raised. For this purpose, at least one, preferably truss-like, lifting element 11A is provided, which is connectable to the respective door leaf member so that the door leaf member can be raised in a substantially horizontal transverse orientation hanging vertically.

The operation is as follows: To mount the gate to Fig. 1 it is first necessary, preferably provided on both sides guide rails 3A; 3B and the motor drive unit 4, 4A, 5 in position and fasten. This is done in the usual way and does not require a detailed description.

If only a single drive unit needs to be installed, the drive element 4 receiving the drive element 4 is usually stationarily secured approximately in the middle of the gate above the door opening 1 in a suitable manner. Depending on the drive system, the drive motor 5 is mounted in the region of the gate opening remote end of the drive rail 4A, as in the embodiments of the FIGS. 2A . 3A and 4A is apparent. In these cases, the drive rail carries 4A z. Example, a (not shown) front and rear deflections circulating chain or a revolving rope to which the actual drive element 4 is attached. Rope or chain drives the drive motor 5, so that the drive element 4 along the drive path L is movable back and forth. With mechanical coupling of the drive element 4 with the door leaf 2 via a linkage, a chain or a Rope the door leaf 2 can then be moved later between the closed position and the open position back and forth.

However, the drive motor 5 does not have to be fixedly mounted, but can also move along the drive rail 4A back and forth, as in the embodiment according to Fig. 1A-D the case is. For this purpose, the drive motor on suitable power transmission elements, by means of which he can move along the drive rail 4 back and forth. A typical solution for this is a gear, a friction wheel or the like, which cooperates with a corresponding counterpart on the drive rail 4A in the drive direction. In this case, serves as a drive element 4, a simple coupling piece on the drive motor 5, on the chassis or on the housing, which is connectable to the door leaf 2 in the drive sense.

In principle, it is also possible to distribute a plurality of parallel-acting drive trains on the gate width or to install near the gate and let it act. For this purpose, the same or similar drive rails 4A as described above can be used. But it is also possible to use as a drive element a winding drum for a pull rope, which is connected to the door leaf lifting and lowering. Such a cable drum is basically also suitable for Tormittige drives.

For lifting the entire door leaf or the individual door leaf members in a vertical position, as it corresponds approximately to the vertical closed position, which is to be achieved, the door leaf or door leaf member to be mounted near its upper edge in the later closed position is connected to a lifting element , As a lifting element 11A may be a Hubtraverse, which is detachably connected to one, preferably at several suitable locations in the region of the upper edge of the door leaf or Torblattgliedes. The lifting element or the Hubtraverse located at the lower end of the single or multi-strand traction device 10; 10A, 10B, such as a pull rope or Zugseilpaares, which is deflected by the arranged near and / or above the upper Toröffnungskante deflecting element 9A and after deflection by about 90 ° by means of at its second End provided coupling means 7 with the drive element 4, in particular detachably connected / is.

With the door leaf or door leaf element still located on the ground, the drive element 4 of the motor-driven door drive - with reference to the horizontal drive path L - is located near its gate-opening-next position. To turn the door leaf or gate leaf member of a z. B. erect originally position, the drive motor 5 is actuated in Toröffnungssinne and thus the drive element 4 moves from its position near the gate to a torferne position until the door leaf or door leaf member is located with its upper edge in the desired height. Then, the door leaf or door leaf member with the guide rails 3A; 3B or in the guide rails already located guide elements, such as guide rollers are connected. If the door leaf or door leaf member has upper and lower guide members for guiding it in the guide rails, it is also possible to connect the upper guide members with not yet raised door leaf or Torblattglied with / the guide rail / s whereas the lower guide members only after successful lifting with the guide rail (s) are connected.

For multi-unit door leaves, as in the FIGS. 1 to 3 shown, successively the door leaf members 2A to 2D or 2E connected to the lifting element 11A, raised to its desired height and then coupled to the guide rails and the Torblattglied underlying it in a conventional manner. Thereafter, the lifting element 11 A can be released from the Torblattgliedoberkante and lowered for the next lifting action by moving the drive element 4 to the door opening 1 out. This process is repeated until all Torblattglieder are brought into position and connected to the guide rails and the adjacent lower Torblattglied. If the door leaf members in the drive plane or on both sides of the drive plane have hinge means with which they are pivotally connected to the adjacent Torblattgliedern, the lifting element 11A can be mounted for mounting on relevant joints pieces.

The traction means 10 consists of one or more, in particular two mutually parallel traction means strands 10A; 10B, how out Figures 1C . 2C and 3C is apparent. This allows a tilt-free lifting of the upper edge of the door leaf or gate leaf members 2A to 2E. Accordingly, the lifting element 11A and the coupling means 7A are equipped for receiving both traction means strands 10A and 10B. Accordingly, the deflecting 9A not only as a single but also as a double deflection, as from the Figures 1C . 2C and 3C can be seen, executed.

The deflecting element 9A can now be arranged in different ways in the gate near end region 8A of the drive path L. For this purpose, in principle serve the front end portion or the front end of the drive rail 4A. In principle, however, the deflecting element 9A can also be firmly anchored to the building. If the deflecting element 9A is intended to be reusable, it is detachably fastened or is provided on a separate holding profile 20, which may be of elongated design and can be detachably connected to the drive rail 4A via fixing means 20A. As a result, not only a simple attachment of the deflecting element 9A is possible but also practically an imaginary extension of the drive rail 4A, if this is not sufficient for the normal door operation to the level of the closed position C. If desired, the holding profile 20 or the deflecting element 9A can be adjustable, in particular along the drive path L, and / or in height, in order to bring the deflecting means 9A into position at a specific position with which the lifting operation in the door leaf assembly is optimized.

How out FIG. 1D . 2D and 3D can be seen, it allows the deflection in conjunction with the traction means 10, the door leaf members during their mortorischen lifting sufficient to pivot, if desired, to be able to raise it in a slight inclination. For this purpose, a comparatively small force F is exerted on the door leaf member.

The embodiment according to FIG. 2 differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 1 , characterized in that the drive motor is fixedly mounted at the gate distal end of the drive rail 4A and the drive means 4 in the drive rail 4A out and is moved here. For this purpose, the drive element 4 may be equipped with guide rollers 4B. Furthermore, in this embodiment, it can be seen that the deflecting element 9A can be mounted at different distances from the plane of the closed position C.

The embodiment according to FIG. 3 differs from the preceding two embodiments in that the retaining profile 20 can be supported at its near-gate end by means of a support 12 and the retaining profile 20 thus can be mounted cantilevered on the drive rail 4A even at high Torblattgewichten.

The embodiment according to FIG. 4 relates to the use of the above-described assembly aid for lifting a counterbalancing device 6 into its working position by means of the motorized door drive, to which the deflecting element 9B is fastened and used in a similar manner as in the preceding embodiments, but in the torfernen end portion 8B of the drive line L is mounted.
