Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Scharnier zur Verschwenkung einer Tür, insbesondere einer Tür einer Duschabtrennung, mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Anspruches 1, sowie eine Duschabtrennung mit einem Scharnier.The invention relates to a hinge for pivoting a door, in particular a door of a shower enclosure, with the features of the preamble of claim 1, and a shower enclosure with a hinge.

Derartige Scharniere und Duschabtrennungen zählen bereits zum Stand der Technik und werden beispielsweise in der EP 2 687 660 A2 gezeigt.Such hinges and shower enclosures are already part of the prior art and are for example in the EP 2 687 660 A2 shown.

Der Stand der Technik zeigt ein Scharnier mit einem Hebe-Senkmechanismus , wobei die am Scharnier angebrachte Türe beim Verschwenken des Scharniers aus einer Nulllage heraus angehoben wird. Dieses Anheben der Türe bewirkt, dass beispielsweise eine Dichtung an der Unterkante der Türe nicht am Boden streift, wenn die Türe aus der Nulllage herausbewegt wird. Während dem Schließvorgang senkt sich die Türe wieder, wobei die an der Türe angebrachte Dichtung in der Nulllage des Scharnieres am Boden aufliegt und ein Wasseraustritt somit verhindert wird. Derartige Scharniere weisen Kraftspeicher auf, welche den Hebevorgang beim Verschwenken des Scharniers aus der Nulllage heraus unterstützen. Durch die diagonalen Bewegungen beim Verschwenken der Türe wirken Querkräfte auf den Kraftspeicher ein, diese Querkräfte können zu Geräuschentwicklungen und auch zu vorzeitigen Beschädigungen des Kraftspeichers führen. Weiters ist der Einbau des Kraftspeichers oftmals sehr kompliziert, da dieser zwischen einem Beschlagteil und einem Schwenkarm eingesetzt werden muss. Dieses Einsetzen erfolgt unter Vorspannung, was bedeutet, dass der Kraftspeicher mit einem Hilfsmittel zusammengedrückt werden muss, bevor dieser im Scharnier platziert werden kann.The prior art shows a hinge with a lifting-lowering mechanism, wherein the hinge-mounted door is lifted out of a zero position during pivoting of the hinge. This lifting of the door causes, for example, a seal on the lower edge of the door does not touch the ground when the door is moved out of the zero position. During the closing process, the door lowers again, wherein the gasket attached to the door rests in the zero position of the hinge on the floor and thus a water outlet is prevented. Such hinges have energy storage, which support the lifting operation during pivoting of the hinge from the zero position out. Due to the diagonal movements when pivoting the door, transverse forces act on the energy accumulator, these transverse forces can lead to noise and also to premature damage to the energy accumulator. Furthermore, the installation of the energy storage is often very complicated, since it must be used between a fitting and a swivel arm. This insertion takes place under prestress, which means that the energy accumulator must be compressed with an aid before it can be placed in the hinge.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die vorbeschriebenen Nachteile zu vermeiden und ein gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbessertes Scharnier und eine Duschabtrennung mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Scharnier anzugeben.The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages described above and to provide a comparison with the prior art improved hinge and a shower enclosure with a hinge according to the invention.

Dies wird beim erfindungsgemäßen Scharnier durch die Merkmale des Kennzeichens des Anspruches 1 und des Anspruches 15 erreicht.This is achieved in the hinge according to the invention by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 and claim 15.

Dadurch, dass die Längsachse des Kraftspeichers in Richtung der Drehachse geneigt ist, werden die Querkräfte welche auf den Kraftspeicher wirken beim Verschwenken der Scharnierteile aus der Nulllage heraus und in Richtung der Nulllage zurück reduziert. Die Längsachse ist orientiert an die Bewegung des Schwenkarmes, welcher sich ebenfalls geneigt zur Drehachse im Beschlag bewegt. Dies erfolgt entlang einer Führung, die eine zur Drehachse geneigte Führungsbahn ausbildet. Ist diese Führungsbahn zur Drehachse geneigt und die Längsachse des Kraftspeichers nicht in Richtung der Drehachse geneigt, so verstärkt sich der Effekt der Querkräfte beim Verschwenken des Scharniers aus der Nulllage heraus und in die Nulllage zurück.Characterized in that the longitudinal axis of the energy accumulator is inclined in the direction of the axis of rotation, the transverse forces which act on the energy storage when pivoting the hinge parts out of the zero position and reduced in the direction of the zero position back. The longitudinal axis is oriented to the movement of the pivot arm, which also moves inclined to the axis of rotation in the fitting. This takes place along a guide which forms a guideway inclined to the axis of rotation. If this guide track is inclined to the axis of rotation and the longitudinal axis of the force accumulator is not inclined in the direction of the axis of rotation, then the effect of the transverse forces on pivoting of the hinge out of the zero position increases and returns to the zero position.

Wenn der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher bei einer Bewegung des ersten Beschlages relativ zum zweiten Beschlag um die Drehachse aus der Nulllage heraus in einer Richtung geneigt zur Drehachse des Drehgelenks unterstützt, dann erfolgt nicht nur ein Anheben der Türe bei einer Bewegung aus der Nulllage heraus, sondern auch ein seitlicher Versatz der Türe. Die Türe entfernt sich dabei auch seitlich und wird relativ zur Drehachse parallel verschoben. Somit wird die Türe nicht nur angehoben, sondern auch seitlich von einem starren Teil der Duschabtrennung, wie Beispielsweise einer Wand, weggeführt. Der Spalt zwischen Wand und Türe wird dabei vergrößert. Durch das Anheben und Wegführen wird also der Kontakt zu stehenden Bereichen in der Umgebung vermieden - Dichtungen schleifen somit nicht im Zuge der Bewegung an feststehenden Körpern und werden somit geschont. Weiters werden Verunreinigungen, welche sich beispielsweise am Boden oder an anderen feststehenden Bereichen der Duschabtrennung befinden, nicht durch die Dichtungen verschmiert.If the at least one energy storage assisted in a movement of the first fitting relative to the second fitting about the axis of rotation from the zero position in a direction inclined to the rotational axis of the rotary joint, then not only a lifting of the door in a movement out of the zero position, but also a lateral offset of the door. The door is also removed laterally and is moved parallel relative to the axis of rotation. Thus, the door is not only raised, but also led away laterally from a rigid part of the shower enclosure, such as a wall. The gap between wall and door is increased. Lifting and carrying away thus prevents contact with stationary areas in the surroundings - seals do not therefore grind against stationary bodies in the course of movement and are therefore protected. Furthermore, contaminants, which are located, for example, on the floor or other fixed areas of the shower enclosure are not smeared by the seals.

Wenn der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher bei einer Bewegung des ersten Beschlages relativ zum zweiten Beschlag um die Drehachse aus der Nulllage heraus oder auch in die Nulllage zurück in einer Richtung geneigt zur Drehachse des Drehgelenks unterstützt, dann muss nicht die gesamte Kraft zum Öffnen der Türe aus der Nulllage heraus oder in die Nulllage zurück von der Person aufgebracht werden, welche die Dusche benützt.If the at least one energy storage assisted in a movement of the first fitting relative to the second fitting about the axis of rotation from the zero position or in the zero position back in a direction inclined to the axis of rotation of the rotary joint, then not all the force to open the door from the Zero position or zero back to be applied by the person who uses the shower.

Wenn die Längsachse des wenigstens einen Kraftspeichers von der Drehachse des Drehgelenks beabstandet ist, dann ist die Konstruktion des Scharniers vereinfacht und die Kraft wird im Scharnier besser aufgeteilt. Das Scharnier kann kompakter gebaut werden. Wären alle beweglichen Teile im Zentrum des Scharniers - beispielsweise um die Drehachse herum oder in der Drehachse angeordnet - so wäre das Scharnier kompliziert im Aufbau und aufgrund der aneinander liegenden, beweglichen Teile auch fehleranfälliger.When the longitudinal axis of the at least one force accumulator is spaced from the rotational axis of the pivot, the construction of the hinge is simplified and the force is better distributed in the hinge. The hinge can be made more compact. If all the moving parts were located in the center of the hinge - for example, around the axis of rotation or in the axis of rotation - the hinge would be complicated in construction and more susceptible to errors due to the adjacent, moving parts.

Wenn nach erfolgter Verschwenkung des ersten Beschlages um die Drehachse relativ zum zweiten Beschlag aus der Nulllage heraus der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher einer rückstellende Bewegung um die Drehachse des ersten Beschlages relativ zum zweiten Beschlag zurück in die Nulllage oder aus der Nulllage heraus entgegen wirkt, dann wird die Türe beim Zurückbewegen in die Nulllage oder von der Nulllage weg durch den Kraftspeicher gebremst oder gedämpft. Ein schlagartiges Einfallen in die Nulllage oder in eine Offenstellung wird somit verhindert. Der Kraftspeicher unterstützt somit nicht nur die öffnende Bewegung sondern bremst auch die schließende Bewegung ab, oder umgekehrt, und wirkt somit dämpfend bei der Bewegung in die Nulllage oder in die Offenstellung.If after pivoting of the first fitting about the axis of rotation relative to the second fitting from the zero position out counteracts the at least one energy storage of a restoring movement about the axis of rotation of the first fitting relative to the second fitting back to the zero position or from the zero position, then the Door when moving back to the zero position or away from the zero position by the energy storage braked or damped. An abrupt collapse in the zero position or in an open position is thus prevented. The energy storage thus not only supports the opening movement but also slows down the closing movement, or vice versa, and thus acts damping in the movement in the zero position or in the open position.

Wenn der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher bei einer Bewegung des ersten Beschlages relativ zum zweiten Beschlag um die Drehachse aus der Nulllage heraus oder ein Bewegen in die Nulllage zurück ein Bewegen des Schwenkarmes entlang der Führung unterstützt, dann können sämtliche am Schwenkarm befestigte Elemente durch den Kraftspeicher unterstützt werden. Der Schwenkarm in der Führungsbahn ist das Bindeglied zwischen den zwei Beschlagteilen. Der zweite Beschlagteil wird somit aufgrund des Schwenkarmes in der Führungsbahn entlang der Führungsbahn bewegt, sobald die zwei Beschlagteile relativ zueinander verschwenkt werden. Der massive ausgeführte Schwenkarm übernimmt sämtliche Kräfte, die dabei entstehen. Durch eine massive Ausführung des Schwenkarms wird ein langlebiges, leichtläufiges und exakt funktionierendes Scharnier mit einer Hub-Senkfunktion realisiert. Die als Schrägfläche ausgeführte Führung oder Führungsbahn dient dabei als Rampe, entlang welcher der Schwenkarm verfährt. Während des Verfahrens entlang dieser rampenartigen Führung nimmt die Gegenkraft durch den Kraftspeicher zu oder wird diese verringert.If the at least one energy storage device supports a movement of the swivel arm along the guide during a movement of the first fitting relative to the second fitting about the axis of rotation out of the zero position or moving back into the zero position, then all can Swivel arm fastened elements are supported by the energy storage. The swivel arm in the guideway is the link between the two fittings. The second fitting part is thus moved along the guideway due to the pivoting arm in the guideway, as soon as the two fitting parts are pivoted relative to each other. The massive swivel arm takes over all the forces that arise. A massive version of the swivel arm realizes a long-lasting, smooth-running and precisely functioning hinge with a lifting / lowering function. The executed as an inclined surface guide or guideway serves as a ramp along which moves the swivel arm. During the process along this ramp-like guide increases the drag force through the energy storage or this is reduced.

Wenn der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher als Feder, vorzugsweise Schraubenfeder, ausgebildet ist, ist ein wartungsarmer und nicht fehleranfälliger Kraftspeicher im Scharnier verbaut. Kraftspeicher, die beispielsweise durch Gaszylinder oder Ölzylinder ausgeführt werden, können über einen längeren Zeitraum undicht werden und deren Funktion ist nicht mehr gewährleistet. Kraftspeicher, welche zum Beispiel aus einem Elastomer hergestellt werden, neigen dazu, sehr temperaturabhängig zu reagieren. Weiters werden diese teilweise mit der Zeit porös und beginnen zu brechen. Auch dann ist deren Funktion nicht mehr gewährleistet.If the at least one energy store is designed as a spring, preferably a helical spring, a low-maintenance and not error-prone energy store is installed in the hinge. Power storage, which are performed for example by gas cylinder or oil cylinder can be leaking over a longer period of time and their function is no longer guaranteed. Force accumulators, which are made for example of an elastomer, tend to react very temperature-dependent. Furthermore, these become partially porous with time and begin to break. Even then their function is no longer guaranteed.

Wenn die Feder als Druckfeder ausgebildet ist, muss keine komplizierte Aufhängung für diese Feder vorgesehen sein. Eine Druckfeder benötigt nur zwei Flächen, zwischen welche die Feder eingespannt wird. Bei einer Zugfeder müssten die Enden der Feder in entsprechende Halterungen eingehängt werden. Durch die Ausführung als Druckfeder wird eine kompaktere Bauweise erzielt und eine langlebige und sichere Funktion erzielt.If the spring is designed as a compression spring, no complicated suspension for this spring must be provided. A compression spring requires only two surfaces, between which the spring is clamped. In a tension spring, the ends of the spring would have to be hung in corresponding brackets. The design as a compression spring a more compact design is achieved and achieved a long-lasting and safe operation.

Wenn der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher sich in einer Umhüllung befindet, wobei der Kraftspeicher entlang seiner Längsachse in der Umhüllung zumindest abschnittsweise beweglich gelagert ist, so wird eine Trennung zwischen den Kraftspeichen und den umliegenden Elementen des Beschlagteiles hergestellt. Der Kraftspeicher selbst kann somit keine Reibkräfte zwischen dem Beschlagteil und dem Kraftspeicher herstellen. Der Kraftspeicher scheuert somit nicht am Beschlagteil. Zudem kann das Eindringen von Verunreinigungen in den Kraftspeicher zusätzlich verhindert werden. Ablagerungen wie zum Beispiel Kalk oder ähnliches können die Funktion des Kraftspeichers beeinflussen oder verhindern. Verunreinigungen könnten ebenfalls zu Geräuschentwicklungen führen, wenn das Scharnier verschwenkt wird. Das Einführen des Kraftspeichers in das Beschlagteil wird zudem vereinfacht. Wird der Kraftspeicher beispielsweise als Schraubfeder ausgebildet, so könnte diese beim Einführen in das Beschlagteil quer zu ihrer Längsachse ausweichen, wenn sie vorgespannt wird. Ist jedoch eine Umhüllung um den Kraftspeicher ausgeführt, so ist ein Ausweichen aus der Längsachse des Kraftspeichers beim Vorspannen nicht möglich.If the at least one energy accumulator is located in an enclosure, wherein the energy accumulator is at least partially movably mounted along its longitudinal axis in the enclosure, a separation between the force spokes and the surrounding elements of the fitting part is produced. The energy storage itself can thus produce no frictional forces between the fitting part and the energy storage. The energy storage thus does not scrub the fitting part. In addition, the penetration of impurities in the energy storage can be additionally prevented. Deposits such as lime or the like can affect or prevent the function of the energy storage. Impurities could also cause noise when the hinge is pivoted. The insertion of the energy storage in the fitting part is also simplified. For example, if the energy accumulator is designed as a helical spring, it could deflect laterally relative to its longitudinal axis when it is inserted into the fitting part when it is preloaded. However, if an enclosure is designed around the force accumulator, it is not possible to escape from the longitudinal axis of the force accumulator during prestressing.

Wenn die Umhüllung durch eine Hülse mit einem Hohlraum ausgebildet wird, wobei der Kraftspeicher in seiner Außenform und Dimension mit der Form und Dimension des Hohlraumes der Umhüllung korrespondiert und zumindest abschnittsweise aus zumindest einer Öffnung der Umhüllung herausragt, dann ist ein spielfreies Bewegen des Kraftspeichers in Richtung quer seiner Längsachse nicht möglich. Durch diese spielfreie Führung des Kraftspeichers wird zum Beispiel eine Geräuschentwicklung verhindert. Zudem kann verhindert werden, dass sich der Kraftspeicher im Zuge einer längeren Verwendung des Scharnieres in eine andere Position bewegt und eventuell die Krafteinwirkung auf den Schwenkarm und das zweite Beschlagteil nicht mehr gewährleistet ist. Die Funktion wäre somit nicht mehr gegeben. Durch die passgenaue Umhüllung wird ein falsches Platzieren beim Einbau des Kraftspeichers ebenfalls verhindert.If the envelope is formed by a sleeve having a cavity, wherein the force accumulator corresponds in its outer shape and dimension with the shape and dimension of the cavity of the enclosure and at least partially protrudes from at least one opening of the enclosure, then a backlash-free movement of the force accumulator in the direction not possible across its longitudinal axis. By this play-free leadership of the energy storage, for example, a noise is prevented. In addition, it can be prevented that the energy storage moves in the course of prolonged use of the hinge in a different position and possibly the force on the swing arm and the second fitting part is no longer guaranteed. The function would therefore no longer exist. Due to the precisely fitting wrapping a wrong placement during installation of the energy storage is also prevented.

Wenn der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher durch ein Verstellelement in seiner Länge veränderbar ist, wobei die Länge vor dem Einbau des Kraftspeichers in das Scharnier eine Vorspannlänge beträgt und im eingebauten Zustand auf eine Einbaulänge veränderbar ist, dann ist der Kraftspeicher entlang seiner Längsachse zwischen dem zweiten Beschlagteil und dem Schwenkarm gefasst. Zudem kann die Vorspannung des Kraftspeichers im Einbauzustand und/oder auch im ausgebauten Zustand durch ein Verstellelement verändert werden. Die Vorspannkraft des Kraftspeichers ist abhängig vom Gewicht der daran befestigten Türe beziehungsweise von den Vorlieben des Betreibens der Dusche. Möchte dieser eine leicht verschwenkbare Türe haben, so wird die Vorspannkraft erhöht. Dies muss ebenfalls erfolgen, sobald eine schwere Türe verbaut wird - zum Beispiel eine Türe aus Glas. Bei einer leichteren Türe kann die Vorspannkraft reduziert werden. Der Kraftspeicher kann im entlasteten Zustand in seiner Maximallänge (Vorspannlänge) in das Scharnier eingesetzt werden und erst im darin befindlichen Zustand vorgespannt werden. Dies stellt eine enorme Erleichterung bei der Montage des Kraftspeichers dar, da dieser nicht bereits vorgespannt in das Scharnier eingesetzt werden muss.If the length of at least one energy storage is variable by an adjustment in its length, the length before installation of the energy storage in the hinge is a preload length and is changeable in the installed state to an installation length, then the energy storage along its longitudinal axis between the second fitting part and taken the swivel arm. In addition, the bias of the energy storage device in the installed state and / or in the removed state can be changed by an adjustment. The biasing force of the energy storage device depends on the weight of the door attached thereto or on the preferences of operating the shower. If this would like to have an easily pivotable door, the biasing force is increased. This must also be done as soon as a heavy door is installed - for example, a glass door. With a lighter door, the preload force can be reduced. The energy accumulator can be used in the unloaded state in its maximum length (preload length) in the hinge and are biased only in the state in it. This represents a huge relief in the assembly of the energy storage, since this does not already have to be biased inserted into the hinge.

Wenn das Verstellelement durch eine Schraube ausgebildet wird, so ist die Verstellung des Verstellelementes durch Fachpersonal mittels üblichen Werkzeugs möglich. Hierzu ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Schraube eine Aufnahme für zum Beispiel einen Schraubenzieher oder einen Sechskantschlüssel aufweist.If the adjusting element is formed by a screw, the adjustment of the adjusting element by skilled personnel by means of conventional tools is possible. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the screw has a receptacle for example, a screwdriver or a hex wrench.

Wenn der Schwenkarm zumindest eine Schrägfläche zur Aufnahme des Kraftspeichers aufweist, wobei die Schrägfläche sich im Wesentlichen orthogonal zur Längsachse des Kraftspeichers erstreckt und zur Drehachse geneigt ist, so reduziert man die Querkräfte im Kontaktbereich zwischen dem Kraftspeicher und dem Schwenkarm. Weiters wird das Einführen des Kraftspeichers zwischen Schwenkarm und dem zweiten Beschlagteil vereinfacht. Diese Effekte werden zudem unterstützt wenn auch das Beschlagteil zumindest eine Schrägfläche zur Aufnahme des Kraftspeichers aufweist, wobei die Schrägfläche sich im Wesentlichen orthogonal zur Längsachse des Kraftspeichers erstreckt und zur Drehachse geneigt ist.If the swivel arm has at least one oblique surface for receiving the force accumulator, wherein the oblique surface extends substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the force accumulator and is inclined to the axis of rotation, the transverse forces in the contact region between the energy accumulator and the swivel arm are reduced. Furthermore, the insertion of the force accumulator between the pivot arm and the second fitting part is simplified. These effects are also supported if that too Fitting part has at least one inclined surface for receiving the force accumulator, wherein the inclined surface extends substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the force accumulator and is inclined to the axis of rotation.

Wenn die Längsachse des Kraftspeichers mit einem Winkel von zwischen 5° und 40°, vorzugsweise 8° und 30°, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 10° und 20° von der Drehachse des Drehgelenkes abweicht, dann ergibt sich ein nicht so großer Unterschied zwischen dem Winkel der Längsachse und der Drehachse. Umso näher der Winkel der Längsachse dem Winkel der Drehachse angepasst wird, umso geringer werden die Querkräfte, welche auf den Kraftspeicher oder den Schwenkarm einwirken.If the longitudinal axis of the force accumulator deviates at an angle of between 5 ° and 40 °, preferably 8 ° and 30 °, particularly preferably between 10 ° and 20 ° from the axis of rotation of the rotary joint, then there is not so much difference between the angle Longitudinal axis and the axis of rotation. The closer the angle of the longitudinal axis is adapted to the angle of the axis of rotation, the lower the transverse forces, which act on the energy accumulator or the swivel arm.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Scharnier 100 mit einem ersten Beschlagteil 1 und einem zweiten Beschlagteil 2. Generell ist das zweite Beschlagteil 2 mit der Führung 5 durch eine Abdeckung verschlossen. Diese Abdeckung ist in den Figuren nicht ersichtlich, da das Innenleben des Scharniers 100 ansonsten nicht sichtbar wäre. Die Abdeckung verhindert das Eindringen von Spritzwasser und Verunreinigungen ins Innere der Beschlagteile 1, 2. Das erste Beschlagteil 1 ist mit dem zweiten Beschlagteil 2 über einen Schwenkarm 6 verbunden. Dieser Schwenkarm 6 weist ein Drehgelenk 3 auf, welches in der Schrägdarstellung Fig. 1 nicht ersichtlich ist. Die durch das Drehgelenk 3 ausgebildete Drehachse 4 wurde schematisch in der Fig. 1 eingezeichnet. Um diese Drehachse 4 kann sich das erste Beschlagteil 1 relativ zum zweiten Beschlagteil 2 verschwenken. Dies erfolgt aus einer Nulllage N heraus. Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Position des Scharniers 100 entspricht der Nulllage N. Wird das Scharnier 100 aus der Nulllage N herausbewegt, verfährt der Schwenkarm 6 entlang einer Führung 5, welche eine lineare Führungsbahn 51 ausbildet. Diese lineare Führungsbahn 51 neigt sich zur Drehachse 4 hin. Beim Verschwenken des ersten Beschlagteils 1 relativ zum zweiten Beschlagteil 2 um die Drehachse 4 wird der Schwenkarm 6 entlang der linearen Führungsbahn 51 verschoben. Da diese lineare Führungsbahn 51 sich zur Drehachse 4 hin neigt, erfolgt eine überlagerte Bewegung während dem Verschwenken des ersten Beschlagteils 1 relativ zum zweiten Beschlagteil 2. Der Schwenkarm 6 gleitet dabei entlang der linearen Führungsbahn 51 nach oben, wobei das erste Beschlagteil 1 sich vom zweiten Beschlagteil 2 in einer Bewegungsrichtung rechtwinklig zur Drehachse 4 entfernt. Es wird nicht nur ein horizontaler Versatz, sondern auch ein vertikaler Versatz der Türe 101 erreicht. Der Schwenkarm 6 gleitet entlang der linearen Führungsbahn 51 nicht nur auf die Seite, sondern auch nach oben. Dieses Nach-Oben-Gleiten bewirkt, dass das erste Beschlagteil 1 sich relativ zum zweiten Beschlagteil 2 in einer Richtung parallel zur Drehachse 4 bewegt. Durch die zwei überlagernden Bewegungen in die vertikale und horizontale Achse entsteht ein schräges Wegfahren des ersten Beschlagteiles 1 relativ zum zweiten Beschlagteil 2 bei einer Verschwenkung des ersten Beschlagteiles 1 relativ zum zweiten Beschlagteil 2. Diese Bewegung wird unterstützt durch einen Kraftspeicher 7, welcher sich zwischen dem zweiten Beschlagteil 2 und dem Schwenkarm 6 befindet. Der Kraftspeicher 7 wird zusätzlich durch ein Verstellelement 9 gehalten und auch vorgespannt. Durch eine Verstellung am Verstellelement 9 kann die Federkraft oder Vorspannkraft des Kraftspeichers 7 verändert werden. Fig. 1 shows a hinge 100 with a first fitting part 1 and a second fitting part 2. Generally, the second fitting part 2 is closed with the guide 5 by a cover. This cover is not visible in the figures, since the interior of the hinge 100 would otherwise not be visible. The cover prevents the ingress of splashing water and Impurities into the interior of the fitting parts 1, 2. The first fitting part 1 is connected to the second fitting part 2 via a pivoting arm 6. This pivot arm 6 has a hinge 3, which in the oblique view Fig. 1 is not apparent. The formed by the rotary joint 3 axis of rotation 4 has been shown schematically in the Fig. 1 located. To this axis of rotation 4, the first fitting part 1 can pivot relative to the second fitting part 2. This is done from a zero position N out. In the Fig. 1 shown position of the hinge 100 corresponds to the zero position N. If the hinge 100 is moved out of the zero position N, moves the pivot arm 6 along a guide 5, which forms a linear guide rail 51. This linear guide track 51 inclines toward the rotation axis 4. When pivoting the first fitting part 1 relative to the second fitting part 2 about the axis of rotation 4, the pivot arm 6 is moved along the linear guide track 51. Since this linear guide track 51 is inclined to the rotational axis 4, there is a superimposed movement during the pivoting of the first fitting part 1 relative to the second fitting part 2. The pivot arm 6 slides along the linear guide track 51 upwards, wherein the first fitting part 1 from the second Fitting part 2 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis 4 removed. Not only a horizontal offset, but also a vertical offset of the door 101 is achieved. The swing arm 6 slides along the linear guide track 51 not only on the side but also upwards. This upward sliding causes the first fitting part 1 to move relative to the second fitting part 2 in a direction parallel to the rotation axis 4. The two overlapping movements in the vertical and horizontal axis creates an oblique Wegfahren the first fitting part 1 relative to the second fitting part 2 at a pivoting of the first fitting part 1 relative to the second fitting part 2. This movement is supported by a force storage 7, which is located between the second fitting part 2 and the pivot arm 6 is located. The energy storage 7 is additionally held by an adjusting element 9 and biased. By an adjustment on the Adjustment 9, the spring force or biasing force of the energy accumulator 7 can be changed.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Explosionszeichnung des Scharniers 100. Das zweite Beschlagteil 2 weist dabei eine Ausnehmung auf, welche zumindest teilweise mit der Außenkontur des Schwenkarmes 6 korrespondiert. In diese wird der Schwenkarm 6 eingelegt und im Anschluss durch die Führung 5 zwangspositioniert und in einer Diagonalen zwischen vertikalem und horizontalem Versatz geführt. Das zweite Beschlagteil 2 weist einen Befestigungsabschnitt 22 auf, in welchen das Verstellelement 9 eingesetzt wird. Der Befestigungsabschnitt 22 kann beispielsweise als Gewinde ausgeführt sein, das Verstellelement 9 als korrespondierendes Schraubelement. Wird das Verstellelement 9 in Form einer Schraube nach innen - sprich im Uhrzeigersinn - gedreht, so wird die Vorspannung des Kraftspeichers 7 erhöht. Durch die Erhöhung dieser Kraft kann das Zurückschwenken in die Nulllage N oder aus der Nulllage in eine Offenstellung - je nach Ausführung des Scharniers 100 - verstärkt unterstützt werden. Wird das Verstellelement 9 gegen den Uhrzeigersinn herausgedreht, so reduziert man die Federvorspannung des Kraftspeichers 7 und somit auch die Unterstützung des Zurückschwenkens in eine der Stellungen. Der Kraftspeicher 7 wird im eingebauten Zustand durch die Unterseite des Verstellelementes 9 in seiner Position gehalten. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Kraftspeichers 7 wird dieser durch ein Haltelement 21, welches sich am Schwenkarm 6 befindet oder durch diesen ausgebildet wird, gehalten. Ein versehentliches Entweichen des Kraftspeichers 7 aus dieser Position wird über diese Maßnahme verhindert. Zudem erleichtert dies den Einbau des Kraftspeichers 7, da der Kraftspeicher 7 im entspannten Zustand, der Vorspannlänge LKV zwischen dem Schwenkarm 6 und dem Beschlagteil 2 eingelegt werden kann, durch das Haltelement 21 gehalten wird und im Anschluss durch das Verstellelement 9 positioniert und in die Einbaulänge LKE (siehe Fig. 4) vorgespannt wird. Fig. 2 shows an exploded view of the hinge 100. The second fitting part 2 in this case has a recess which corresponds at least partially with the outer contour of the pivot arm 6. In this, the pivot arm 6 is inserted and then forcibly positioned by the guide 5 and guided in a diagonal between vertical and horizontal offset. The second fitting part 2 has a fastening section 22 into which the adjusting element 9 is inserted. The attachment portion 22 may be performed, for example, as a thread, the adjustment 9 as a corresponding screw. If the adjusting element 9 in the form of a screw inward - that is rotated in a clockwise direction -, the bias of the energy accumulator 7 is increased. By increasing this force, the pivoting back to the zero position N or from the zero position to an open position - depending on the design of the hinge 100 - can be reinforced supported. If the adjustment 9 is rotated counterclockwise, so you reduced the spring preload of the energy accumulator 7 and thus also the support of the pivoting back in one of the positions. The power storage 7 is held in the installed state by the underside of the adjusting element 9 in its position. On the opposite side of the force accumulator 7 this is held by a holding element 21, which is located on the pivot arm 6 or is formed by this. Accidental escape of the energy accumulator 7 from this position is prevented by this measure. In addition, this facilitates the installation of the force accumulator 7, since the energy storage device 7 can be inserted in the relaxed state, the preload length LKV between the pivot arm 6 and the fitting 2, is held by the holding member 21 and subsequently positioned by the adjusting element 9 and in the installation length LKE (see Fig. 4 ) is biased.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein Beispiel aus dem Stand der Technik. Die Längsachse LA des Kraftspeichers 7 ist dabei parallel zur in Fig. 3 nicht dargestellten Drehachse 4 ausgerichtet. Beim Verfahren des Schwenkarms 6 entlang der Führung 5 und der Führungsbahn 51 wird der Kraftspeicher 7 gestaucht. Zudem entstehen Querkräfte, da der Kraftspeicher 7 an seinem oberen Ende mit einem starren Bestandteil des zweiten Beschlagteils 2 kontaktiert und im unteren Bereich in einem verfahrbaren Element gelagert ist. Sozusagen reibt der Kraftspeicher 7 beim Verfahren des Schwenkarmes 6 entlang einer Fläche des zweiten Beschlagteils 2, was zu Querkräften und somit auch unter Umständen zur Geräuschentwicklung führt. Zudem kann der Kraftspeicher 7 nach einem längeren Gebrauch beschädigt werden. Der Einbau des Kraftspeichers 7 erweist sich dabei auch schwieriger als beim erfindungsgemäßen Scharnier 100, da der Aufbau der Vorspannung des Kraftspeichers 7 aufgrund des fehlenden Verstellelements 9 durch ein externes Hilfsmittel vor dem Einbau erfolgen muss. Fig. 3 shows an example of the prior art. The longitudinal axis LA of the energy accumulator 7 is parallel to the in Fig. 3 not shown rotation axis 4 aligned. When moving the swivel arm 6 along the guide 5 and the guide track 51 of the energy storage 7 is compressed. In addition, lateral forces arise because the energy accumulator 7 is contacted at its upper end with a rigid component of the second fitting part 2 and is mounted in the lower region in a movable element. As it were, the energy storage device 7 rubs during the movement of the swivel arm 6 along a surface of the second fitting part 2, which leads to transverse forces and thus also to noise under certain circumstances. In addition, the energy storage 7 can be damaged after prolonged use. The installation of the energy storage device 7 proves to be more difficult than the hinge 100 according to the invention, since the structure of the bias of the energy storage device 7 due to the missing adjusting element 9 must be done by an external aid before installation.

Fig. 4 zeigt das Scharnier 100 in einer Nulllage N. Das Scharnier 100 besteht aus den zwei Beschlagteilen 1, 2. Im zweiten Beschlagteil 2 ist die Führung 5 mit der Führungsbahn 51 ausgebildet. Der Schwenkarm 6 verfährt entlang dieser Führungsbahn 51. Dies ist erst in Fig. 5 ersichtlich. In der Nulllage N drückt der Kraftspeicher 7 den Schwenkarm 6 entlang der Führung 5 und der Führungsbahn 51 in eine Richtung parallel zur Drehachse 4. Dadurch wird der Abstand zwischen dem ersten Beschlagteil 1 und dem zweiten Beschlagteil 2 verringert. Zudem werden beide Beschlagteile 1, 2 auf dieselbe Horizontalebene gebracht. Je nach Vorspannung des Kraftspeichers 7 durch das Verstellelement 9 wird dieser Effekt stärker oder schwächer unterstützt. Die Längsachse LA des Kraftspeichers 7 ist zur Drehachse 4 hin geneigt. Durch diese Neigung werden weniger Querkräfte bei einer Relativbewegung des Schwenkarms 6 zum zweiten Beschlagteil 2 generiert. Der Kraftspeicher 7 kann die radial einwirkenden Kräfte leichter kompensieren als wie in Fig. 3 zum Stand der Technik dargestellt. Der Winkel der Längsachse LA des Kraftspeicher 7 weicht dabei in einem Wert von zwischen 5° und 40°, vorzugsweise 8° und 30°, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 10° und 20° vom Winkel der Drehachse 4 des Drehgelenks 3 ab. Umso geringer die Abweichung des Winkels der Längsachse LA vom Winkel der Führungsbahn 51 der Führung 5, umso geringer sind auch die Querkräfte, welche auf den Kraftspeicher 7 einwirken. Der Kraftspeicher 7 ist zwischen den Schrägflächen 10, 11 angeordnet. Die Schrägfläche 10 wird durch den Schwenkarm 6 ausgebildet, die Schrägfläche 11 durch das Beschlagteil 2. In der Schrägfläche 11 ist das Verstellelement 9 in einem rechten Winkel zur Schrägfläche 11 verstellbar angeordnet. Im maximal herausgefahrenen Zustand des Verstellelementes 9 wird der Kraftspeicher 7 mit der Schrägfläche 11 kontaktieren. Durch die durch das Verstellelement 9 aufgebaute Vorspannung besteht kein direkter Kontakt mehr zwischen dem Kraftspeicher 7 und der Schrägfläche 11. Fig. 4 shows the hinge 100 in a zero position N. The hinge 100 consists of the two fitting parts 1, 2. In the second fitting part 2, the guide 5 is formed with the guide track 51. The swivel arm 6 moves along this guideway 51. This is only in Fig. 5 seen. In the zero position N of the force storage 7 presses the pivot arm 6 along the guide 5 and the guide rail 51 in a direction parallel to the rotation axis 4. As a result, the distance between the first fitting part 1 and the second fitting part 2 is reduced. In addition, both fitting parts 1, 2 are brought to the same horizontal plane. Depending on the bias of the energy accumulator 7 by the adjusting element 9, this effect is supported stronger or weaker. The longitudinal axis LA of the energy accumulator 7 is inclined to the rotation axis 4. As a result of this inclination, fewer transverse forces are generated during a relative movement of the swivel arm 6 to the second fitting part 2. The energy storage 7 can compensate for the forces acting radially easier than in Fig. 3 represented to the prior art. The angle of the longitudinal axis LA of the energy storage 7 differs in a value of between 5 ° and 40 °, preferably 8 ° and 30 °, more preferably between 10 ° and 20 ° from the angle of the rotation axis 4 of the rotary joint 3 from. The smaller the deviation of the angle of the longitudinal axis LA from the angle of the guide track 51 of the guide 5, the lower the transverse forces which act on the energy accumulator 7. The energy storage 7 is disposed between the inclined surfaces 10, 11. The inclined surface 10 is formed by the pivot arm 6, the inclined surface 11 through the fitting part 2. In the inclined surface 11, the adjusting element 9 is arranged adjustable at a right angle to the inclined surface 11. In the maximum retracted state of the adjusting element 9, the energy accumulator 7 will contact the inclined surface 11. By built-up by the adjusting element 9 bias there is no direct contact between the energy storage 7 and the inclined surface eleventh

Fig. 5 zeigt ein Scharnier 100 in einem aus der Nulllage N herausgeschwenkten Zustand. Das erste Beschlagteil 1 ist dabei relativ zum zweiten Beschlagteil 2 um die Drehachse 4 des Drehgelenks 3 verschwenkt worden. Der Schwenkarm 6 spielt dabei eine wesentliche Rolle, da dieser das erste Beschlagteil 1 vom zweiten Beschlagteil 2 abstützt. Somit kommt es bei der Verschwenkung um die Drehachse 4 und dieser Abstützung zu einem Bewegen des Schwenkarms 6 entlang der Führungsbahn 51. Der Kraftspeicher 7 wirkt dieser Kraft entgegen. Das bedeutet, dass in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel der Kraftspeicher 7 ein Zurückschwenken in die Nulllage N des Scharniers 100 unterstützt. Würde der Kraftspeicher 7 an der Unterseite des Schwenkarms 6 angeordnet und sich dort vom zweiten Beschlagteil 2 abstoßen, so würde eine Bewegung aus der Nulllage N heraus unterstützt. Der Kraftspeicher 7, in diesem Fall als Feder, als Druckfeder, ausgestaltet, befindet sich bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel in einer Umhüllung 8. Diese Umhüllung 8 verhindert einen direkten Kontakt zwischen den umliegenden Elementen und dem Kraftspeicher 7. Dies kann sich positiv in der Geräuschentwicklung niederschlagen oder auch bei der Führung des Kraftspeichers 7. Eine Umhüllung 8 ist jedoch nicht zwingend erforderlich. Fig. 5 shows a hinge 100 in a pivoted out of the zero position N state. The first fitting part 1 has been pivoted relative to the second fitting part 2 about the axis of rotation 4 of the rotary joint 3. The pivot arm 6 plays an essential role, since this the first fitting part 1 is supported by the second fitting part 2. Thus, it comes with the pivoting about the axis of rotation 4 and this support to a movement of the pivot arm 6 along the guide rail 51. The energy storage 7 counteracts this force. This means that in this embodiment, the energy storage device 7 supports pivoting back to the zero position N of the hinge 100. If the energy storage device 7 were arranged on the underside of the swivel arm 6 and repel there from the second fitting part 2, a movement out of the zero position N would be supported. The energy storage 7, in this case as a spring, as a compression spring, configured, is in this embodiment in an enclosure 8. This enclosure 8 prevents direct contact between the surrounding elements and the energy storage 7. This can be reflected positively in the noise or However, in the leadership of the energy storage 7. An enclosure 8 is not mandatory.
