Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a sliding door insert for retrofitting a sliding door in a sliding door box of an expandable sliding door, to a sliding door box for an expandable sliding door having a sliding door, and to a method for retrofitting a sliding door in a sliding door box of an expandable sliding door. Background Art

[0002] The expandable sliding door can have movable half shells, which, when the sliding door is closed, unfold relative to each other in the frame of the sliding door and thereby come into contact with a seal on the frame in order to seal the sliding door to the frame. To open the sliding door, the half shells retract to make the sliding door thinner and allow it to be moved into slots next to the frame.

[0003] The frame for such a deployable sliding door can be pre-installed during building construction, without the deployable sliding door itself. The frame can then be used in various ways until the deployable sliding door is needed. For example, the frame can be obscured to create a doorless passageway, or a shelving system can be placed in the passageway and closed off.

[0004] Similarly, a particularly simple sliding door can be hung in the guide rails of the frame. In this case, a particularly simple sliding door cannot be expanded, and its thickness cannot be modified. A particularly simple sliding door can be used particularly for exterior protection, as it cannot be sealed against the seals used for the frame of an expandable sliding door. Non-expandable sliding doors can also be synonymously referred to as sliding doors of constant thickness.

[0005] For example, WO 2023 / 274674 A1 introduces a multifunctional building wall module system. Summary of the Invention

[0006] There is a need primarily for a sliding door insert for retrofitting a sliding door in a sliding door box of an extendable sliding door, which has improved properties, in particular with regard to sealing, for example sound insulation.

[0007] This need is met by a sliding door insert for retrofitting a sliding door in a sliding door box of a deployable sliding door, a sliding door box for a deployable sliding door with a sliding door, and a method for retrofitting a sliding door in a sliding door box of a deployable sliding door according to the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are defined in the dependent claims and are described in the description.

[0008] In the solution presented here, the non-expandable sliding door leaf is hung in the existing guide device for the expandable sliding door, and the frame configured for the expandable sliding door is supplemented by an additional baffle. The baffle closes the gap between the non-expandable sliding door leaf and the profile of the frame designed for the expandable sliding door leaf, so that the non-expandable sliding door leaf is sealed by the seal on the baffle or the baffle can be sealed by the seal on the sliding door leaf.

[0009] With the solution presented here, the closed simple sliding door can be particularly well soundproofed, since the air gap around the sliding door is closed by the contacting seals.

[0010] According to a first aspect of the application, a sliding door insert for retrofitting a sliding door cassette with a sliding door of an expandable sliding door is proposed, wherein the sliding door insert has a sliding door structure and a baffle assembly, wherein the sliding door structure has a non-expandable sliding door leaf and is designed for hanging in the guide rails of the sliding door cassette, wherein the baffle assembly is designed for modifying the frame of the sliding door cassette configured for the expandable sliding door for the non-expandable sliding door leaf, wherein the baffle assembly comprises a stop baffle, a guide baffle and an insertion baffle, wherein the stop baffle is designed for being arranged at the stop side of the frame and sealing the stop side of the sliding door leaf, wherein the guide baffle is designed for being arranged at the upper side of the frame and sealing the upper side of the sliding door leaf, and wherein the insertion baffle is designed for being arranged at the insertion side of the frame and sealing the insertion side of the sliding door leaf. The guide baffle has at least one lowerable seal for sealing the upper side.

[0011] According to a second aspect of the application, a sliding door cassette with a sliding door for an expandable sliding door is proposed, wherein the non-expandable sliding door leaf of the sliding door structure of the sliding door insert according to the first aspect is hung in the guide rails of the sliding door cassette, and the baffle assembly of the sliding door insert modifies the frame of the sliding door cassette for the non-expandable sliding door leaf, wherein the stop baffle of the baffle assembly is arranged on the stop side of the frame and seals the stop side of the sliding door leaf, wherein the guide baffle of the baffle assembly is arranged on the upper side of the frame and seals the upper side of the sliding door leaf, and wherein the insertion baffle of the baffle assembly is arranged on the insertion side of the frame and seals the insertion side of the sliding door leaf.

[0012] According to a third aspect of the present invention, a method for modifying a sliding door box having an expandable sliding door is proposed, wherein the non-expandable sliding door leaves of the sliding door structure of the sliding door insert according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention are hung in the guide rails of the sliding door box, wherein the baffle assembly of the sliding door insert is used to modify the frame of the sliding door box configured for the expandable sliding door for the sliding door leaves, wherein the stop baffle of the baffle assembly is arranged at the stop side of the frame to seal the stop side of the sliding door leaf, wherein the guide baffle of the baffle assembly is arranged at the upper side of the frame to seal the upper side of the sliding door leaf, and wherein the insertion baffle of the baffle assembly is arranged at the insertion side of the frame to seal the insertion side of the sliding door leaf.

[0013] A sliding door box can be a wall structure designed to accommodate a deployable sliding door. The wall structure has a passageway that can be closed by the sliding door and a slot adjacent to the passageway for accommodating the open sliding door. The passageway is surrounded by the frame of the sliding door box. The slot and the passageway are connected by at least one guide rail of the sliding door box. The sliding door box can be installed in the wall of a building to provide the possibility of installing, in particular, deployable sliding doors. The slot is arranged in a cavity between the wall planks. Preferably, the cavity is 125 mm wide, and the planks on both sides are 12.5 mm thick, thereby achieving a wall thickness of 150 mm.

[0014] Expandable sliding doors have a mechanism that controls the distance between their two halves. To open the door, the mechanism retracts the halves, reducing the distance and thinning the door. In this thinned state, the door slides along the guide rails into the slot, opening the doorway. Expandable sliding doors are typically electrically powered and can be essentially completely concealed within the slot.

[0015] To close an expandable sliding door, when the door's stop reaches the frame's stop, the retracted half-shells move along the guide rails from the slots into the passageway, where they are mechanically unfolded. As they unfold, the distance between the half-shells increases until they seal against the frame's seal. This unfolding compresses the seal and ensures a secure seal around the passageway.

[0016] In the proposed solution, a sliding door box for an expandable sliding door is equipped with a simple, non-expandable sliding door. The non-expandable sliding door is retrofitted as a sliding door insert, and the frame is modified so that the simple sliding door is also sealed by a seal. The non-expandable sliding door preferably has an integrated sliding door leaf.

[0017] The sliding door insert is assembled in multiple parts and in an assembly sequence. The sliding door structure can be provided in a pre-assembled form. The flap assembly can be provided as a single part.

[0018] The sliding door construction can comprise all components which are fixed to the sliding door leaf or at least partially movable with the sliding door leaf. The sliding door construction can have at least two guides for hanging into the guide rail. The guides can in particular be roller guides which can roll in the guide rail. The guides can be arranged on the upper side or the guide side of the sliding door leaf and in particular be adjustably height-adjustably connected with the sliding door leaf in order to be able to orient the sliding door leaf relative to the guide rail. The guides can be hung into the guide rail. The guides can be covered after the hanging by a lateral baffle of the sliding door leaf. The sliding door construction can further comprise a drive mechanism for reciprocating the sliding door leaf between a closed position and an open position. The sliding door construction can comprise a locking mechanism for locking the sliding door leaf at least in the closed position.

[0019] The baffle assembly can have one or more matching baffles for each side of the frame. Different sides of the frame can be referred to as a stop side, a guide side and an insertion side. Thus, different sides of the frame can be modified by one-piece or multi-piece baffles. Here, in particular the guide baffle and the insertion baffle can be two-piece, respectively, since a gap for the non-expandable sliding door leaf is respectively formed between the two parts of the baffle. On opening and closing, the non-expandable sliding door leaf reciprocates in the gap between the passage and the slot. The stop baffle can be one-piece.

[0020] The baffle assembly can have a seal which seals on a sealing surface of the sliding door leaf. Alternatively or additionally, the sliding door leaf can have a seal which seals on a sealing surface of the baffle assembly.

[0021] The lowerable seal can be a movable, controllable seal. The lowerable seal can be in a raised state or a lowered state. In the raised state, the lowerable seal can be raised from the surface of the sliding door leaf and can not touch the sliding door leaf. In the lowered state, the lowerable seal can lie against the surface of the sliding door leaf and seal the sliding door leaf. The lowerable seal can be actuated, for example electrically or mechanically, for example by a control curve. The lowerable seal can be configured directionally, and can also move upwards or sideways, for example, in order to seal. In particular, the guide baffle can have two lowerable seals. The seals can seal on opposite sealing surfaces of the sliding door leaf, i.e. seal the sliding door leaf both internally and externally.

[0022] The stop baffle, the insertion baffle and / or the sliding door construction can have a seal receptacle for an initial seal of the frame. In order to modify the frame, the initial seal of the frame can be removed and at least arranged on the stop baffle, the insertion baffle and / or the sliding door leaf.

[0023] The seal receptacle can be, for example, a molded groove. The base of the initial seal can be inserted into the seal receptacle and mechanically engaged or elastically clamped therein. The initial seals of the frame can be used, as they already have the correct dimensions. The seal receptacles can be arranged in pairs symmetrically relative to the center plane of the sliding door insert. The initial seals can then seal on both sides of the sliding door.

[0024] Particularly on the insertion side, the seal holder can be arranged on the sliding door leaf. Then, the initial seal can directly contact its sealing surface on the insertion baffle when the sliding door is closed and prevent the initial seal from continuing to slide on the sliding door leaf.

[0025] As an alternative to the primary seal, other seals may be used.

[0026] Alternatively, the sliding door structure can include at least one raiseable seal for sealing against the guide plate. The raiseable seal can essentially correspond to the lowerable seal. The raiseable seal can be arranged on the upper side of the sliding door leaf. The raiseable seal can extend upward to seal against the sealing surface of the guide plate.

[0027] The sliding door structure may include at least one lowerable seal for sealing against the floor. The lowerable seal may be positioned on the underside of the sliding door leaf. The lowerable seal may use the floor beneath the sliding door as a sealing surface. The lower lowerable seal may have an increased range of motion, thereby preventing the lowerable seal from sliding on uneven surfaces or dirt on the floor.

[0028] At least the stop plate and / or the insert plate can be designed to be fixed in the initial seal receptacle of the frame. The stop plate and / or the insert plate can be mechanically engaged in the seal receptacle. Similarly, the stop plate and / or the insert plate can be clamped in the seal receptacle and / or magnetically fixed to the edge profile of the frame having the seal receptacle. By being fixed to the initial seal receptacle, the plate assembly can be assembled on the frame without permanent modifications and removed again without leaving residue. In particular, the plate assembly can be assembled without tools.

[0029] The sliding door structure may have a drive for reciprocating the sliding door leaf between a closed position and an open position. The drive can be arranged on the insertion side of the sliding door leaf and be designed to be arranged in a slot in the sliding door box. The drive may include an electric motor. The electric motor may, for example, engage in a rack of a guide rail via a gear. Similarly, the drive may have a belt extending over a pulley, which is moved relative to the sliding door leaf by the electric motor. In this case, the sliding door leaf can be coupled to the belt and the electric motor to the guide rail, or the belt can be coupled to the guide rail and the electric motor to the sliding door leaf. The drive can be inconspicuously integrated into the sliding door structure in the slot and arranged protected therein.

[0030] The sliding door leaf arrangement may include a controller. The controller may be arranged on the insertion side of the sliding door leaf. The controller may be arranged in the area of ​​the drive. The controller may be inconspicuously integrated into the sliding door structure within a slot and may be arranged protected within the slot.

[0031] The stop baffle and at least a portion of the stop side of the frame can be removed. The sliding door box can have a maintenance compartment behind the stop baffle and the stop side for accommodating at least a portion of the sliding door leaf. When the sliding door leaf is at least partially arranged in the maintenance compartment, normally hidden components of the sliding door structure can be accessed when the stop baffle is assembled in the slot of the sliding door box. For maintenance of the sliding door insert, the stop baffle and at least a portion of the stop side of the frame can be removed so that the maintenance compartment arranged behind the stop baffle and the stop side can be accessed for accommodating at least a portion of the sliding door leaf. The sliding door leaf can be at least partially arranged in the maintenance compartment so that when the stop baffle is assembled, components of the sliding door structure hidden in the slot can also be accessed for maintenance.

[0032] The maintenance hatch can be a separate, closable slot opposite the slot. The maintenance hatch can be arranged in the cavity between the planks of the sliding door box. The guide rail can extend into the maintenance hatch. The sliding door leaf can be moved into the maintenance hatch until otherwise inaccessible components of the sliding door structure arranged in the slot, such as the drive and controller, are arranged in the passage and are therefore accessible.

[0033] The maintenance hatch can also be used when assembling the sliding door structure. For example, the stop side of the sliding door leaf can be placed in the maintenance hatch first, and then the insertion side can be aligned with the guide rail. The guide elements of the sliding door structure can also be connected to the guide rail in this order. Once the sliding door structure is hooked into the guide rail, the sliding door structure can be moved from the maintenance hatch into the insertion slot, and the maintenance hatch can be closed with the stop side and the insertion stop.

[0034] It should be noted that some of the possible features and advantages of the present application are described herein with reference to different embodiments of a method on the one hand and of a device on the other hand. The person skilled in the art realizes that the features can be combined, matched or replaced in a suitable manner in order to realize other embodiments of the present application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0035] Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the drawings and description are not to be considered limiting on the application.

[0036] Figure 1 a diagram showing a sliding door cassette for an extendable sliding door with mounted sliding door insert according to one embodiment; and

[0037] Figures 2a to 2d a detail diagram showing a sliding door insert according to one embodiment.

[0038] The drawings are merely schematic and are not drawn to scale. Identical reference signs denote identical or similar features. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] Figure 1 a diagram showing a sliding door cassette 100 for an extendable sliding door with mounted sliding door insert 102 according to one embodiment. The sliding door cassette 100 is arranged in a recess 104 of a wall 106 of a building not shown. The sliding door cassette 100 is designed as a dry construction of a column frame with paving on both sides and closes the recess 104 completely through the wall 106 except for a door-shaped passage opening 108. The passage opening 108 is framed by a frame 110 of the sliding door cassette. The frame 110 is designed for closing and sealing the passage opening 106 in combination with the extendable sliding door in the closed state. For this purpose, the extendable sliding door presses from the inside against a surrounding sealing element or sealing surface of the frame 110 when extended. Next to the passage opening 108, a slot 112 of the sliding door cassette 100 is arranged in the column frame between the paving on both sides. The slot 112 is designed for accommodating the extendable sliding door not extended in the open state, so that the extendable sliding door disappears to some extent in the wall 106. Horizontal rails for the extendable sliding door extend at the upper side of the passage opening 108 and at the upper side of the slot 112. The rails extend in cutouts at the upper side of the passage opening 108.

[0040] Instead of an expandable sliding door, a sliding door insert 102 is installed. Sliding door insert 102 includes a sliding door structure 114 with a non-expandable sliding door leaf 116 and a retaining plate assembly 118. The sliding door leaf 116 is integral. The sliding door structure 114 is secured to a guide rail, and the non-expandable sliding door leaf 116 is hooked into the guide rail. Because the non-expandable sliding door leaf 116 has the same thickness in both the closed and open positions, in the closed position, the sliding door leaf is pulled back behind the planking on both sides of the sliding door box 100 and cannot be directly sealed against the seal or sealing surface of the frame 110. Therefore, the retaining plate assembly 118 is assembled into the frame and has a seal or sealing surface that matches the non-expandable sliding door leaf 116.

[0041] The flap assembly 118 is composed of at least three parts and comprises a stop flap 120, a guide flap 122, and an insertion flap 124. The stop flap 120 is arranged on a stop side 126 of the frame 110. The guide flap 122 is arranged on an upper side 128 of the frame 110. The insertion flap 124 is arranged on an insertion side 130 of the frame 110. The flap assembly 118 bridges the gap between the seal or sealing surface of the frame 110 and the sliding door leaf 116 that cannot be deployed.

[0042] In one embodiment, the sliding door structure 114 includes an electric drive for the sliding door leaf 116. The drive is arranged on the insertion side of the sliding door leaf 116 and is positioned within the slot 112 during normal operation of the sliding door insert 102. The drive can be fixed to the sliding door leaf 116 and coupled to a guide rail, for example, via a belt. Alternatively, the drive can be coupled directly to the guide rail and coupled to the sliding door leaf 116, for example, via a belt. The drive can automatically open and close the sliding door leaf 116. The drive allows the sliding door leaf 116 to be pulled flush with the frame 110 or the insertion stop 124 into the slot 112, eliminating the need for a handle.

[0043] In one embodiment, the sliding door structure 114 also includes a controller for the drive. With the integrated controller, the sliding door insert 102 is ready for insertion, easy to assemble, and requires only a power supply. The controller can be mounted on the drive and thus disappears into the slot 112 of the sliding door box 100.

[0044] In one embodiment, the sliding door leaf 116 has a control surface 132. The sliding door insert 102 can be controlled via the control surface. The control surface 132 can be touch-sensitive and can also include a display 134. For example, the display 134 can display an image from a door camera 136 integrated into the control surface 132 on the outside. For example, when the door is ringed via the control surface 132, an image can be automatically provided.

[0045] In one embodiment, the sliding door box 100 includes a maintenance hatch 138 on the side opposite the slot 112. Like the slot 112, this hatch is located between the planks on either side of the column frame. Guide rails extend into the maintenance hatch 138. During normal operation, the maintenance hatch 138 is closed by the stop side 126 of the frame 110. To maintain the deployable sliding door or the non-deployable sliding door structure 114, the stop side 126 is at least partially removed, or at least a portion of the stop side 126 and the stop plate 120 are removed, and the maintenance hatch 138 is opened. The non-deployable sliding door or sliding door leaf 116 can then be at least partially moved into the maintenance hatch 138. This allows components of the sliding door structure 114 that are located within the slot 112 during normal operation and are therefore inaccessible to the user to become accessible.

[0046] Figures 2a to 2d A detailed view of a sliding door insert 102 according to one embodiment is shown. Figure 1 Sliding door inserts in. Figure 2a 、 Figure 2b and Figure 2c The baffle of the baffle assembly 118 is shown in a cross-sectional view of the frame 110. Figure 2d , a section through the underside of a non-expandable sliding door leaf 116 is shown.

[0047] exist Figure 2a A horizontal cross-section of the stop side 126 of the frame 110 is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown in , a view from below is shown. The sliding door box 100 has decking 200 on the inner surface and the outer surface. The column frame 202 is arranged in the gap between the decking 200. The edge profile 204 is fixed to the column frame 202. The edge profile 204 respectively surrounds the edges of the decking 200 facing the passage opening 108 to protect the edges from damage. The edge profile 204 has a seal receiving portion 206 for the seal of the deployable sliding door. The seal receiving portion 206 is constructed as a recess in the profile cross section of the edge profile and is arranged offset to the rear behind the edge. The stop profile 208 is arranged between the edge profiles 206. The stop profile 208 is also arranged offset to the rear behind the edge of the decking 200 and closes the gap between the decking 200.

[0048] In one embodiment, the stop profile 208 is removable to make the maintenance compartment 138 in the void accessible.

[0049] Here, the stop baffle 120 of the baffle assembly 118 is arranged in front of the stop profile 208. The stop baffle 120 modifies the stop side 126 for the non- deployable sliding door leaf 116. The stop baffle 120 constitutes a receiving area for the sliding door leaf 116. The stop baffle 120 fills the gap between the edge of the floor panel 200 and the non-deployable sliding door leaf 116. In the closed state, the sliding door leaf 116 extends into the recess formed by the stop baffle 120 and is sealed at the stop baffle 120 by at least one contacting seal in the closed state. The seal can be, for example, a lip seal. Here, the seal can be arranged on the stop baffle 120 and seals on a sealing surface of the sliding door leaf 116. Alternatively, the seal can be arranged on the sliding door leaf 116 and seals on a sealing surface of the stop baffle 120.

[0050] In one embodiment, the stop baffle 120 has two seal receptacles 206 for the primary seals 210 of the sliding door cassette 100. The seal receptacles 206 are configured as recesses in the profile cross section of the stop baffle 120. The primary seals 210 can be removed from the seal receptacles 206 of the edge profile 204 before the stop baffle 120 is assembled and inserted into the seal receptacles 206 of the stop baffle 120. Alternatively, the primary seals 210 can be provided with the sliding door insert 102.

[0051] In one embodiment, the stop baffle 120 is fixed at the seal receptacles 206 of the edge profile 204. For example, the stop baffle 120 can be snap-fitted into the seal receptacles 206 by means of a snap element. Alternatively, the stop baffle 120 can be clamped into the seal receptacles 206 by means of a clamping element. The stop baffle 120 can also be held on the edge profile 204 by means of a magnet.

[0052] In Figure 2b the insertion side 130 of the frame 110 is shown in horizontal section. As already shown in Figure 2a a view from below is shown. The insertion side 130 essentially corresponds to the stop side 126 and has essentially similar edge profiles 204 at the edges of the floor panel 200 facing the passage opening 108, which have seal receptacles 206, and has upright frame 202 laid on the outside and the inside of the sliding door cassette 100 with a gap located therebetween. The gap constitutes the slot 112 here. In contrast to the illustration in Figure 2a the opening 212 of the slot 112 is arranged between the edge profiles 204.

[0053] The insert plate 124 modifies the insertion side 130 for the non-deployable sliding door leaf 116, reduces the opening 212 to a width suitable for the non-deployable sliding door leaf 116, and seals against the sliding door leaf 116 via at least two contact seals. The seals may be, for example, lip seals. The seals may be arranged on the insert plate 124 and seal against the sealing surface of the sliding door leaf 116. Alternatively, the seals may be arranged on the sliding door leaf 116 and seal against the sealing surface of the insert plate 124.

[0054] The insert stop 124 is a two-piece structure, wherein one portion of the insert stop 124 is arranged on the inside of the sliding door leaf 116 and the other portion of the insert stop 124 is arranged on the outside of the sliding door leaf 116. One of the seals is arranged between each portion and the sliding door leaf 116.

[0055] In one embodiment, the seal is arranged on the sliding door leaf 116. To this end, the sliding door leaf has two seal receptacles 206 for initial seals 210 of the sliding door pocket 100. The seal receptacles 206 are designed as recesses in the profile cross section of the sliding door leaf. Before the insertion stop 124 is assembled, the initial seals 210 can be removed from the seal receptacles 206 of the edge profile 204 and inserted into the seal receptacles 206 of the sliding door leaf 116. Alternatively, the initial seals 210 can be provided together with the sliding door insert 102.

[0056] In one embodiment, the sliding door leaf 116 has a widened portion 214 at its end arranged in the slot 112. The widened portion 214 is wider than the opening 212 modified by the insertion stop 124. The seal receiving portion 206 is arranged directly before the widened portion 214. Thus, the widened portion 214 serves as a support surface for the seal.

[0057] In one embodiment, the components of the stop plate 120 are fixed to the seal receiving portion 206 of the edge profile 204. For example, these components can be snapped into the seal receiving portion 206 with a positive fit using snap elements. Alternatively, these components can be clamped into the seal receiving portion 206 using clamping elements. These components can also be held on the edge profile 204 using magnets.

[0058] exist Figure 2c The upper side 128 of the middle frame 110 is shown in vertical section. The upper side 128 corresponds essentially to the stop side 126 and the insertion side 139 and has an essentially similar edge profile 204 at the edge of the decking 200 facing the passage opening 108, the edge profile 204 having a seal receptacle 206, and the upper side 128 has a column frame 202 that is laid on the outside and inside of the sliding door box 100 and has a gap located therebetween. Figure 2a and Figure 2b In contrast to the illustration in FIG, here, the horizontal guide rail 216 of the sliding door box 100 is arranged in the gap. Guide rail 216 is fixed on the crossbeam of the column frame 202.

[0059] The non-expandable sliding door leaf 116 is movably mounted in a guide rail via a roller drive 218. The roller drive 218 is connected to the sliding door leaf 116 between two extensions of the outer and inner sides of the sliding door leaf 116 in a recessed groove formed on the upper side of the sliding door leaf 116. The guide plate 122 modifies the upper side 128 of the frame 110 for the non-expandable sliding door leaf 116 and is sealed to the sliding door leaf 116 via at least two seals. The seals can be arranged on the guide plate 122 and seal on the sealing surface of the sliding door leaf 116. Alternatively, the seals can be arranged on the sliding door leaf 116 and seal on the sealing surface of the guide plate 122.

[0060] The guide plate 122 is constructed in two parts, with one part of the guide plate 122 being arranged on the inside of the sliding door leaf 116 between the edge profile 204 and the sliding door leaf 116, and another part of the guide plate 122 being arranged on the outside of the sliding door leaf 116 between the edge profile 204 and the sliding door leaf 116. One of the seals is arranged between each part and the sliding door leaf 116. The outer and inner extensions extend between the parts of the guide plate 122.

[0061] In one embodiment, the seal is a retractable seal 220. The retractable seal 220 is driven by an actuator. The retractable seal 220 is controlled by the control system of the sliding door insert 102. The retractable seal 220 is lifted away from the sealing surface and does not contact the sealing surface as the sliding door leaf 116 moves along the guide rail 216. At least when the access opening 108 is closed, the retractable seal 220 is placed onto the sealing surface and then forms a contact seal thereon.

[0062] In one embodiment, the lowerable seal is horizontally movable and is arranged on the guide plate 122. The sealing surfaces are arranged on the extension of the outer side and the inner side of the sliding door leaf 116.

A first subassembly of the covering assembly covers the opening into which the sliding door enters when open and is designed to accommodate a seal. A second subassembly of the covering assembly covers the accommodation area into which the sliding door enters when closed and is designed to accommodate a seal. A third subassembly of the covering assembly covers the area on the sliding door into which the sliding door enters when closed and has a lowerable seal.

[0070] The door can have one, preferably two, lowerable seals on the bottom.

[0071] The first subassembly and / or the second subassembly can be fixed to the seal holder of the cassette by means of a snap-in element, a magnet or a clamping element in a form-fitting manner. To this end, the seal is removed beforehand.

[0072] The first subassembly is two-part, wherein one part is on the inner side of the sliding door and one part is on the outer side of the sliding door. The second subassembly is single-part, i.e. at least connected above.

[0073] The sliding door is preferably embodied as a main body. A drive is mounted on the end of the door which is located in the cassette. A control is also connected to the remaining end of the door which is located in the cassette.

[0074] The sliding door can have a control surface, a touchscreen on the inner surface of the door and / or a cat-eye camera.

[0075] To refit or convert a box with such a sliding door, remove the four vertical seals if present. The vertical seals are already the correct length. In addition, remove the two horizontal seals if present.

[0076] Then, the first and second subassemblies are preferably mounted on the profile for fixing the seals, and the vertical seal previously removed is mounted on the shield. Finally, the third shield is mounted.

[0077] For maintenance, the second screen can be removed together with the closure element arranged thereunder, and the sliding door can be introduced into the service space, making it possible to work behind the drive mechanism and the control mechanism.

[0078] Finally, it should be noted that terms such as "having," "comprising," and the like do not exclude other elements or steps, and terms such as "a" or "an" do not exclude a plurality. Furthermore, it should be noted that features or steps described with reference to one of the above embodiments can also be used in combination with other features or steps of other embodiments described above. Reference numerals in the claims should not be construed as limiting.
