Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Absenkdichtungseinheit mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a drop-down sealing unit with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Aus optischen Gründen und zur Erzielung einer Barrierefreiheit werden Bodenschwellen von Türen und Fenstertüren immer niedriger. Die Aufbauhöhe ist bis auf null abgesenkt, sodass keine Anschlagflächen mehr zur Verfügung stehen, an welche sich der Falzüberstand des Flügels anlegen kann. Dies gilt ausgerechnet für die besonders wichtige untere Dichtungsebene.For optical reasons and to achieve accessibility, the thresholds of doors and balcony doors are getting lower and lower. The construction height has been reduced to zero, so that there are no longer any stop surfaces against which the rebate overhang of the sash can rest. This applies to the particularly important lower sealing level.

Aus der EP 2 405 094 A2 ist es bekannt, zur Ausbildung von Türflügeln aus Kunststoff-Hohlprofilen ein zusätzliches Aufbauprofil zu verwenden. Damit kann die Höhe des unteren Riegels variiert und dieser verstärkt werden. Außerdem können darin Dichtungsschienen aufgenommen werden, um die Abdichtung zur Bodenschwelle hin zu erreichen. Das darauf aufgesetzte Rahmenprofil besitzt üblicherweise einen auf der Türinnenseite weit nach unten gezogenen Bereich, um das Aufbauprofil von der Innenansicht her komplett zu überdecken. In diesem Profilabschnitt ist üblicherweise auch eine Anschlagdichtung eingezogen, die aber mangels einer Anschlagkante bei barrierefreien Bodenschwellen wirkungslos ist.From the EP 2 405 094 A2 it is known to use an additional structural profile for the formation of door leaves from plastic hollow profiles. This allows the height of the lower bar to be varied and strengthened. In addition, sealing rails can be accommodated in it in order to achieve the seal towards the threshold. The frame profile placed on it usually has an area that is pulled far down on the inside of the door in order to completely cover the structure profile from the inside view. A stop seal is usually also inserted in this profile section, but this has no effect on barrier-free thresholds due to the lack of a stop edge.

Bekannt sind weiterhin selbsttätig absenkende Dichtungsleisten, beispielsweise aus der EP 046 441 A1 . Diese werden unten an einer Türinnenseite oder unterhalb des Türblatts angeordnet. Laufen die Auslöseelemente gegen einen fest am Rahmen angeordneten Anschlag, so wird die in der Dichtungsleiste gelagerte Dichtung nach unten geschoben und gegen die Bodenfläche gepresst. Mit einer solchen Dichtungsleiste würde bei einer schwellenlosen Tür zwar eine Abdichtung über den Großteil der Breite erreicht, jedoch würde eine Abdichtwirkung im Eckenbereich weiterhin fehlen. Dort läuft die Dichtung der seitlichen Profilteile des Türflügels ins Leere.Also known are automatically lowering sealing strips, for example from the EP 046 441 A1 . These are at the bottom of the inside of the door or below the Door leaf arranged. If the release elements run against a stop fixedly arranged on the frame, the seal mounted in the sealing strip is pushed down and pressed against the floor surface. With such a sealing strip, a seal without a threshold would be achieved over the majority of the width, but there would still be no sealing effect in the corner area. There, the seal on the side profile parts of the door leaf runs into emptiness.

WO 2014/029877 A1 offenbart eine Absenkdichtungseinheit mit einer absenkbaren Dichtleiste und einem am Dichtelement angeformten seitlichen Dichtungsbogen, wobei zwei Dichtungslinien entstehen, welche nach unten dichten. WO 2014/029877 A1 discloses a lowering sealing unit with a lowerable sealing strip and a lateral sealing arch formed on the sealing element, with two sealing lines being created which seal downwards.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht somit darin, eine verbesserte Dichtleiste für einen Türflügel an einer barrierefreien Bodenschwelle ohne Anschlagkante anzugeben.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved sealing strip for a door leaf on a barrier-free threshold without a stop edge.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Absenkdichtungseinheit mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a drop-down sealing unit with the features of claim 1.

Diese stellt eine Kombination aus einem verformbaren Anpressdichtungselement und einem absenkbaren Dichtleistenelement her dar. Die beiden Dichtelemente sind verbunden, indem sich ein Dichtstreifen von der Unterseite des Anpressdichtelements zu der Unterkante der absenkbaren Dichtleiste erstreckt und mit dieser verbunden ist. Beim Schließen der Tür wird das Anpressdichtelement gegen die Außenseite des Türpfostens gedrückt. Der Dichtstreifen hat bis dahin noch keinen Kontakt mit dem Untergrund, insbesondere mit dem entsprechenden Innenabschnitt der Bodenschwelle. Ein Schleifen der Dichtung auf dem Untergrund wird somit vermieden. Beim Anpressen des Türblatts an den Türpfosten und der damit einhergehenden Auslösung der Absenkdichtung wird auch der Dichtstreifen ausgerollt. Dabei wird er sowohl im Falzbereich an den Blendrahmen angelegt wie auch über die Breite des Türblatts auf den Untergrund abgesenkt.This represents a combination of a deformable pressure sealing element and a lowerable sealing strip element. The two sealing elements are connected in that a sealing strip extends from the underside of the pressure sealing element to the lower edge of the lowerable sealing strip and is connected to it. When the door is closed, the pressing sealing element is pressed against the outside of the door post. Until then, the sealing strip has not yet come into contact with the ground, in particular with the corresponding inner section of the threshold. This prevents the seal from rubbing against the substrate. When the door leaf is pressed against the door post and the associated release of the lowering seal, the sealing strip is also rolled out. It is placed against the frame in the rebate area and lowered onto the substrate across the width of the door leaf.

Das Anpressdichtelement kann aus einem geschlossenzelligen, also nicht saugenden Schaumstoff gebildet sein.The pressure sealing element can be formed from a closed-cell, ie non-absorbent, foam.

Es kann auch als Hohlprofil ausgebildet sein, insbesondere aus einem thermoplastischen Elastomer. Bei dieser bevorzugten Ausführungsform gibt es wenigstens eine Vorder- und eine Rückseite sowie mehrere Stege, die die Seiten miteinander verbinden und die jeweils wenigstens eine Knickstelle besitzen. An der Knickstelle kann nach Art eines Folienscharniers eine Materialdickenreduzierung vorgesehen sein, um die gewünschte Verformungszone festzulegen.It can also be designed as a hollow profile, in particular made of a thermoplastic elastomer. In this preferred embodiment there is at least one front and one rear side as well as several webs which connect the sides to one another and which each have at least one kink. At the kink, a material thickness reduction can be provided in the manner of a film hinge in order to define the desired deformation zone.

Um das Aufbauprofil an die Aufnahme der Absenkdichtungseinheit anzupassen, gibt es die Möglichkeit, ein bereits vorhandenes Aufbauprofil zu verwenden und daran einen gebäudeinnenseitigen Teil auszufräsen, die Absenkdichtungseinheit dort anzubringen und durch ein gesondertes Abdeckprofil zu überdecken.In order to adapt the mounting profile to the mounting of the drop-down sealing unit, there is the option of using an existing mounting profile and milling out a part on the inside of the building, attaching the drop-down sealing unit there and covering it with a separate cover profile.

Alternativ kann ein neuartiges Aufbauprofil vorgesehen sein, dass einen von der Unterseite her zugänglichen Aufnahmeschacht aufweist, der zur Aufnahme der Absenkdichtungseinheit ausgebildet ist. Ein gesondertes Abdeckprofil entfällt und an der Gebäudeinnenseite bleibt eine durchgehende Ansichtsfläche bestehen.Alternatively, a new type of construction profile can be provided that has a receiving shaft accessible from the underside, which is designed to receive the drop-down sealing unit. A separate cover profile is not required and a continuous visible surface remains on the inside of the building.

In Figur 1 ist eine sogenannte schwellenlose Tür 200 dargestellt. Diese umfasst einen mit einem Wandausschnitt zu verbindenden Blendrahmen 220 und einen darin beweglich gelagerten Türflügel 210. Der Begriff "schwellenlos" bezieht sich auf eine Höhendifferenz zum Fertigfußboden 240 von 0 mm. Tatsächlich ist dort in einer Vertiefung ein Bodenschwellenprofil 230 eingelassen, auf das der Blendrahmen 220 aufgestellt ist und das eine besonders plane Auflagefläche für eine Absenkdichtungseinheit 100 bildet.In Figure 1 a so-called thresholdless door 200 is shown. This comprises a frame 220 to be connected to a wall cutout and a door leaf 210 movably mounted therein. The term “threshold-free” relates to a height difference to the finished floor 240 of 0 mm. In fact, a threshold profile 230 is let into a recess there, on which the frame 220 is placed and which forms a particularly flat support surface for a drop-down sealing unit 100.

Zur Absenkdichtungseinheit 100 gehört ein Auslöseelement 31 und ein Festanschlagelement 30. Wie bei Absenkdichtungen an sich bekannt, wird das Auslöseelement 31 vom Festanschlag 30 nach innen geschoben, wenn das Türblatt 210 am Blendrahmen 220 anliegt. Hierdurch wird ein Dichtleistenelement 20 abgesenkt, das sich mit seiner Dichtlippe auf die Schwelle 230 bzw. den Fertigfußboden 240 auflegt.The lowering seal unit 100 includes a release element 31 and a fixed stop element 30. As is known per se with lowering seals, the release element 31 is pushed inward by the fixed stop 30 when the door leaf 210 rests on the frame 220. As a result, a sealing strip element 20 is lowered, the sealing lip of which rests on the threshold 230 or the finished floor 240.

Figur 2 zeigt die Tür 200 in einer seitlichen Schnittansicht. Der Türflügel 210 besitzt am unteren Riegel ein Türflügelprofil 211 und ein Aufbauprofil 212 zur Verstärkung. Beide Profile 211, 212 zusammen sind zur Gebäudeaußenseite hin durch eine flügelüberdeckende Türfüllung 213 überdeckt. Unterhalb des Aufbauprofils 212 ist ein Wetterschenkelprofil 214 angebracht. Nicht dargestellt sind zusätzliche Bürstendichtungen oder Verriegelungselemente und deren Antrieb. Figure 2 shows the door 200 in a side sectional view. The door leaf 210 has a door leaf profile 211 and a mounting profile 212 for reinforcement on the lower bolt. Both profiles 211, 212 together are covered on the outside of the building by a door panel 213 that covers the leaves. A weather bar profile 214 is attached below the structural profile 212. Additional brush seals or locking elements and their drive are not shown.

Das der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Problem konzentriert sich auf den mit dem Pfeil 1 markierten Bereich. Dort, wo in Figur 2 ein Gehäuse 10 einer erfindungsgemäßen Absenkdichtungseinheit 100 angeordnet ist, befindet sich bei herkömmlichen Türanlagen ein nach unten, bis hinter das Aufbauprofil 212 reichender Fortsatz, damit beim Blick von der Gebäudeinnenseite her eine einheitliche Ansichtsfläche auf den Türflügel 210 gebildet wird. Im Bereich 1 ist üblicherweise eine Anschlagkante der Bodenschwelle vorhanden, an die sich eine Dichtlippe am Fortsatz des Türflügelprofils 211 anlegen kann. Da bei einer Bodenschwelle 230 ohne jegliche Aufbauhöhe gegenüber dem Fertigfußboden 240 in der Gebäudeinnenseite jedoch keinerlei aufragende Kante mehr besteht, ist dieser Bereich nicht auf herkömmliche Weise abdichtbar. Die bloße Verwendung einer an sich bekannten Dichtungseinheit kann zwar eine lineare Abdichtung über die Türbreite erzielen, da durch Absenken des Dichtleistenelements 20 ein durchgehender Kontakt mit dem Fertigfußboden 240 hergestellt wird. Allerdings wären dann die Bereiche 1 an den jeweiligen Enden des Türflügels 210 offen, sodass Luft zwischen dem abgesenkten Dichtleistenelement 20 und dem Blendrahmen 210 ungehindert vorbei strömen könnte.The problem on which the invention is based concentrates on the area marked with the arrow 1. Where in Figure 2 A housing 10 of a drop-down sealing unit 100 according to the invention is arranged, in conventional door systems there is an extension reaching down to behind the structural profile 212 so that a uniform surface is formed on the door leaf 210 when looking from the inside of the building. In area 1, there is usually a stop edge of the threshold against which a sealing lip on the extension of the door leaf profile 211 can rest. Since with a threshold 230 without any structural height in relation to the finished floor 240 there is no longer any protruding edge on the inside of the building, this area cannot be sealed in a conventional manner. The mere use of a sealing unit known per se can achieve a linear seal over the door width, since continuous contact with the finished floor 240 is established by lowering the sealing strip element 20. However, the areas 1 would then be open at the respective ends of the door leaf 210, so that air could flow past unhindered between the lowered sealing strip element 20 and the frame 210.

Erfindungsgemäß ist zur Behebung dieser Schwachstelle im Bereich 1 zunächst ein Anschlagdichtungselement 40 zwischen dem Gehäuse 10 und dem Aufbauprofil 212 vorgesehen. In den Eckbereichen der Tür 210 erstreckt sich das Anschlagsdichtungselement 40 jeweils bis in den Falzbereich des Türflügels 210 und legt sich entsprechend an den Blendrahmen 220 an. Damit besteht eine zuverlässige Abdichtung zwischen dem Blendrahmen 220 und dem meist als Aluminiumstrangpressprofil gebildeten Gehäuse 10.According to the invention, a stop sealing element 40 is initially provided between the housing 10 and the structural profile 212 in order to eliminate this weak point in area 1. In the corner areas of the door 210, the stop sealing element 40 extends into the rebate area of the door leaf 210 and is placed against the frame 220 accordingly. There is thus a reliable seal between the frame 220 and the housing 10, which is usually formed as an extruded aluminum profile.

Erfindungswesentlich ist vor allem ein flexibler Dichtstreifen 50, der das Anschlagdichtungselement 40 mit dem absenkbaren Dichtleistenelements 20 verbindet.A flexible sealing strip 50, which connects the stop sealing element 40 to the lowerable sealing strip element 20, is essential to the invention.

Befindet sich das Dichtleistenelement 20 in seiner angehobenen Position, so hebt es auch den Dichtstreifen 50, der sich im Querschnitt bogenförmig zwischen dem Anschlagdichtungselement 40 und dem Dichtleistenelement 20 erstreckt, vom Fertigfußboden ab, so dass der Dichtstreifen 50 nicht über den Boden schleift.If the sealing strip element 20 is in its raised position, it also lifts the sealing strip 50, which extends in cross section between the stop sealing element 40 and the sealing strip element 20, from the finished floor, so that the sealing strip 50 does not drag across the floor.

Wird die Tür 200 geschlossen, so wird das Auslöseelement 31 betätigt und die Dichtleiste 20 abgesenkt. Dabei schiebt sie den Dichtstreifen 50 nach unten und diesen zugleich gegen die Anschlagfläche 211 am Blendrahmen 210.If the door 200 is closed, the release element 31 is actuated and the sealing strip 20 is lowered. In doing so, it pushes the sealing strip 50 downwards and at the same time pushes it against the stop surface 211 on the frame 210.

Figur 3 zeigt eine erste Ausführungsform einer Absenkdichtungseinheit 100 im Schnitt. Nicht dargestellt sind das Auslöseelement sowie Federelemente und sonstige an sich bekannte Betätigungselemente, die die vertikale Verschiebung des Dichtleistenelements 20 innerhalb des Gehäuses 10 bewirken. Figure 3 shows a first embodiment of a drop down seal unit 100 in section. Not shown are the release element and spring elements and other actuating elements known per se which effect the vertical displacement of the sealing strip element 20 within the housing 10.

Das Gehäuse 10 besitzt zwei parallele Seitenflächen 11,12, zwischen denen das Dichtleistenelement 20 geführt ist. Weiterhin besitzt das Gehäuse 10 bei dieser Ausführungsform Rastvorsprünge 13,14 an der zur Gebäudeinnenseite weisenden Seite, um das Aufrasten eines Abdeckprofils 15 zu ermöglichen. An der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Gehäuses 10 ist eine Nut 16 ausgebildet, in die ein Rastzapfen 44 des Anschlagdichtungselements 40 eingerastet ist. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform der Absenkdichtungseinheit 100 ist das Anschlagdichtungselement 40 als Hohlprofil aus einem elastisch verformbaren Kunststoff hergestellt. Hierbei kann es sich um ein Elastomer handeln.The housing 10 has two parallel side surfaces 11, 12, between which the sealing strip element 20 is guided. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the housing 10 has latching projections 13, 14 on the side facing the inside of the building in order to enable a cover profile 15 to be latched on. On the opposite side of the housing 10, a groove 16 is formed into which a locking pin 44 of the stop sealing element 40 is engaged. In the illustrated embodiment of the lowering sealing unit 100, the stop sealing element 40 is produced as a hollow profile from an elastically deformable plastic. This can be an elastomer.

Dadurch, dass kollabierende Stege 43 zwischen zwei parallele Seitenflächen 41, 42 vorgesehen sind, können aber auch härtere Kunststoffe, die eine reversible Verformung zulassen, eingesetzt werden.Because collapsing webs 43 are provided between two parallel side surfaces 41, 42, however, harder plastics that allow reversible deformation can also be used.

An die Unterkante des Anschlagdichtungselements 40 schließt sich der Dichtstreifen 50 an, und zwar als Fortsatz der zum Aufsatzprofil 214 bzw. zum Blendrahmen 220, 221 weisenden inneren Seitenfläche 41. Der Dichtstreifen 50 besitzt zu den Anlageflächen im Eckenbereich der Tür hin gewandt eine glatte Oberfläche, während er an seiner Innenseite mit mehreren, über die Länge laufenden Rillen versehen ist, um eine gezielte Verformung zu erleichtern.The sealing strip 50 adjoins the lower edge of the stop sealing element 40, namely as an extension of the inner side surface 41 facing the attachment profile 214 or the frame 220, 221. The sealing strip 50 has a smooth surface facing the contact surfaces in the corner area of the door, while it is provided on its inside with several grooves running along its length to facilitate targeted deformation.

Um stets eine gleichmäßige Abrollbewegung des Dichtstreifens 50 zu erzielen, gabelt sich dieser vorzugsweise in zwei Teildichtstreifen 51, 52, welche zwischen sich das Dichtleistenelement 20 einschließen. Die Verbindung erfolgt über Rastvorsprünge 53 an den Innenseiten der Teildichtstreifen 51, 52. Die Rastvorsprünge 53 greifen in Nuten 22 ein, die beidseits im Bereich einer Unterkante 21 des Dichtleistenelements 20 vorgesehen sind. Die Rastverbindung der vorzugsweise einteilig ausgebildeten Einheit aus dem Anschlagdichtungselement 40 und dem Dichtstreifen 50 erfolgt also über insgesamt drei Rastvorsprünge 44,53. Damit ist ein Austausch des Anschlagdichtungselements 40 mit dem Dichtstreifen 50 problemlos möglich.In order to always achieve a uniform rolling movement of the sealing strip 50, it preferably forks into two partial sealing strips 51, 52, which are between them enclose the sealing strip element 20. The connection takes place via locking projections 53 on the inner sides of the partial sealing strips 51, 52. The locking projections 53 engage in grooves 22 which are provided on both sides in the area of a lower edge 21 of the sealing strip element 20. The latching connection of the preferably one-piece unit comprising the stop sealing element 40 and the sealing strip 50 thus takes place via a total of three latching projections 44, 53. An exchange of the stop sealing element 40 with the sealing strip 50 is therefore possible without any problems.

Figur 4 zeigt eine zweite Ausführungsform 100' einer Absenkdichtungseinheit 100', die nur hinsichtlich eines Anschlagdichtungselements 40' unterschiedlich ausgebildet ist und ansonsten identisch mit der vorstehend beschriebenen Absenkdichtungseinheit 100 ist. Das Anschlagdichtungselement 40' ist hierbei nicht hohl ausgebildet, sondern besitzt eine elastische Füllung wie beispielsweise einen offenzelligen Schaumstoff. Eine Außenhaut 41' ist aus demselben Werkstoff gebildet wie der Dichtstreifen 50, sodass diese wiederum einstückig hergestellt sein können. Ausbildung und Funktion des Dichtstreifens 50 ebenso wie die Verbindung mit dem Dichtleistenelement 20 sind identisch zu der in Figur 3 dargestellten Absenkdichtungseinheit 100. Figure 4 shows a second embodiment 100 'of a drop-down seal unit 100', which is designed differently only with regard to a stop sealing element 40 'and is otherwise identical to the drop-down seal unit 100 described above. The stop sealing element 40 'is not hollow, but has an elastic filling such as an open-cell foam. An outer skin 41 'is formed from the same material as the sealing strip 50, so that these can in turn be produced in one piece. The design and function of the sealing strip 50 as well as the connection to the sealing strip element 20 are identical to that in FIG Figure 3 drop-down seal unit 100 shown.

Figur 5 zeigt den Eckbereich der Tür 200 in einer Ansicht von schräg unten, wobei Fußboden und Schwelle nicht dargestellt sind. Außerdem ist zur besseren Darstellung eine Endkappe an der Absenkdichtungseinheit 100 entfernt worden. Der Türflügel 210 liegt am Blendrahmen 220 an, sodass in einem Falzbereich 221 die innere Seitenfläche 41 des Anschlagdichtungselements 40 am Blendrahmen 220 anliegt. Das Anschlagdichtungselement 40 wird verformt, indem die zwischen den Seitenflächen 41,42 vorgesehenen V-förmigen Stege 43 zusammengedrückt werden. Der Dichtstreifen 50 ist nach unten ausgerollt und liegt auf der hier nicht sichtbaren Oberfläche des Fußbodens auf. Figure 5 shows the corner area of the door 200 in an oblique view from below, the floor and threshold not being shown. In addition, an end cap on the drop down seal assembly 100 has been removed for clarity. The door leaf 210 rests on the frame 220 so that the inner side surface 41 of the stop sealing element 40 rests on the frame 220 in a rebate area 221. The stop sealing element 40 is deformed in that the V-shaped webs 43 provided between the side surfaces 41, 42 are compressed. The sealing strip 50 is rolled out downwards and rests on the surface of the floor, which is not visible here.
