Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a guiding system for movably supporting at least one covering element for covering an opening in a fixed structure, the guiding system comprising:
[0002] - A first guide rail and a first guide body that can be slidably disposed thereon.
[0003] - A second guide rail and a second guide body slidably disposed thereon, and
[0004] - A compensation device for compensating the tilting moment of a cover element, wherein the cover element is movable between a first position, preferably a closed position or an intermediate position, and a second position, preferably an open position, by a guiding system, and the present invention relates to a device having at least one such guiding system. Background Technology
[0005] Such guiding systems are known from the prior art and are used, for example, for guiding (furniture) doors or folding sliding doors. In guiding devices where one end of the covering element is freely suspended (in other words, not guided) in the open state of the covering element, a compensating device is necessary to prevent tilting moments of the covering element, thereby preventing the covering element from sinking.
[0006] In the prior art, a rocker mechanism or rope drive device is mostly used for this purpose. In conventional sliding doors, or especially sliding windows, where the opening is located directly behind the cover element in the closed or intermediate position, the compensation device according to the prior art cannot be used. This is because the compensation device according to the prior art extends into the area of the opening in the open position of the cover element to provide sufficient support for the cover element.
[0007] Therefore, the window or door can no longer be used because the compensating device will at least partially block the window or door. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The object of the present invention is to at least partially eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages, and to provide an improved boot system relative to the prior art and an improved device having such a boot system.
[0009] The objective is achieved by the features of independent claims 1 and 17.
[0010] Accordingly, according to the present invention, the compensation device has at least one rope connecting the first guide body and the second guide body to each other, and is provided with a steering device by means of which the at least one rope can be guided at least partially, preferably in the region between the first guide rail and the second guide rail, at right angles to the longitudinal extension direction of the first guide rail and / or the second guide rail.
[0011] Therefore, it is feasible to guide the rope so that the opening remains exposed in the open position. In other words, the rope extends essentially outside the area of the opening. However, this also ensures adequate compensation for tilting moments.
[0012] The device according to the invention includes a fixing structure, at least one opening formed in the fixing structure, at least one covering element, and at least one guiding system according to the invention, wherein the covering element can be moved between a first position, preferably a closed position or an intermediate position, and a second position, preferably an open position, by the guiding system.
[0013] Other advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.
[0014] It can be proposed that the steering device includes at least three, preferably exactly three, steering rollers.
[0015] Preferably, two of the at least three steering rollers are disposed at or in the region of the first guide rail, and the other of the at least three steering rollers is disposed at or in the region of the second guide rail.
[0016] This allows for the implementation of steering equipment in a simple and low-cost manner.
[0017] Advantageously, two of the at least three rollers (preferably one roller in the region of the first guide rail and one roller in the region of the second guide rail) are used to orthogonally guide the rope, while the other of the at least three rollers (preferably the second roller in the region of the first guide rail) is used to turn the rope onto the guide body.
[0018] Preferably, a shortening mechanism may be provided, through which the length of at least one rope can be adjusted in relation to the position of the covering element between a first position and a second position.
[0019] The further the cover element moves from the first position to the second position, i.e., the wider the cover element opens, the higher the tilting moment occurs because the lever is extended. This is not considered in the prior art, thus the tilting moment is essentially compensated only in one position of the cover element. Overcompensation or undercompensation occurs in all other positions.
[0020] The problem can be eliminated by using a shortening mechanism that changes the effective length of the rope in relation to the position of the covering element. Accordingly, the rope is longest in the closed or intermediate position of the covering element, and shortens as the opening increases to account for the increased tilting moment.
[0021] Conversely, when switching from the open position to the closed position or the intermediate position, the effective length of the rope is extended by the shortening mechanism.
[0022] Accordingly, the tilting moment of the cover element can always be compensated accordingly. Intentional overcompensation can also be considered to achieve, thereby lifting the cover element.
[0023] It can be proposed that the shortening mechanism be constructed in the form of a conical roller. This makes the implementation of the shortening mechanism simple and feasible. Here, the conical roller can be, for example, wound with at least one rope.
[0024] Alternatively, stepped rollers, two rollers of different sizes that are rotatably connected to each other, or rollers with a specific profile can be considered.
[0025] Preferably, the shortening mechanism may also have at least one guide groove in which at least one rope is guided.
[0026] Particularly preferably, at least one guide groove may extend spirally along the tapered section of the tapered roller.
[0027] This ensures that at least one rope is securely and correctly guided at the tapered roller.
[0028] According to another embodiment of the present invention, at least one rope tensioning device, preferably at least two rope tensioning devices, may be provided for tensioning at least one rope.
[0029] Thus, for example, after the guidance system is installed, the ropes can be tensioned and adjusted accordingly to ensure the proper functioning of the guidance system.
[0030] It can be proposed that at least one rope tensioning device has a tool receiving part, preferably in the form of a screw head drive part, for operating the rope tensioning device. Therefore, it is feasible to operate the rope tensioning device simply.
[0031] Advantageously, at least one rope tensioning device can be located at or within the shortening mechanism. This allows the rope tensioning device to be installed with minimal space requirements.
[0032] However, it is also possible to consider that at least one rope tensioning device is located at one of the guide bodies.
[0033] Preferably, the rope tensioning device may have a rope drum, onto which at least one rope can be wound or unwound. This provides a simple implementation of the rope tensioning device.
[0034] However, other implementations of the rope tensioning device can also be considered. For example, a thread can be provided that is pressed onto at least one end of the rope. The rope tension can then be adjusted via a nut provided on said thread. In principle, any suitable type of rope tensioning device can be considered.
[0035] It can also be suggested that the rope tensioning device has a locking mechanism for securing the rope tensioning device. This can prevent the rope tensioning device from being accidentally operated or from coming undone.
[0036] In one embodiment, the locking device may include a locking mechanism and / or a fastening pin. In particular, when a locking mechanism and a fastening pin are provided, the rope tensioning device can be locked particularly securely.
[0037] Particularly preferably, at least one rope may be formed from at least two segments. This makes the installation and adjustment of the compensation device easy.
[0038] It can also be proposed that, as the covering element moves between the first position and the second position, one of the at least two segments can be wound onto the tapered roller and the other of the at least two segments can be unwound from the tapered roller.
[0039] In this embodiment, the rope is shortened in such a way that, due to the conical shape of the roller, the amount of rope unwound is not equal to the amount of rope wound.
[0040] Particularly preferably, it may be proposed to provide at least one connecting device for connecting at least two segments of at least one rope, preferably wherein the connecting device is constituted by a shortening mechanism and / or at least one rope tensioning device.
[0041] In particular, when the connecting device is constructed by a shortening mechanism and / or at least one rope tensioning device, a compensation device that can be easily installed and adjusted is obtained, which is also constructed in a space-saving manner.
[0042] Regarding the device according to the invention, it can be proposed that the covering element is substantially quadrilateral in shape, and the guiding system has four hinges, which are arranged in the regions of the four corners of the covering element in a first position. Preferably, two hinges are arranged vertically spaced apart from each other at the fixing structure and two hinges are arranged vertically spaced apart from each other at the covering element and are kinetically coupled to the covering element.
[0043] On one hand, the covering element can be guided via a hinge. On the other hand, the covering element can be switched from a closed position to an intermediate position via a hinge, in which the covering element closes the opening, and in which the covering element is positioned in front of the opening but orthogonally spaced from it.
[0044] It can also be proposed that at least one rope is substantially, preferably completely, positioned outside the area of the opening.
[0045] Therefore, the opening is exposed, thus allowing the window or door to remain unrestricted in use. Attached Figure Description

[0077] Figures 1a to 1c Three preferred positions of the device are shown, wherein the device is in Figure 1a The location in the image corresponds to the closed position. Figure 1b The positioning in the middle corresponds to the middle position, and in Figure 1c The location in the text corresponds to the open position. In the closed position ( Figure 1a In this window-like covering element 101, it is completely closed, while in the middle position ( Figure 1b In the open position, the cover element 101 is orthogonally spaced from the opening 101a. In the open position, the cover element 101 is fully open and the opening 100a is accessible.
[0078] Accordingly, in this embodiment, the intermediate position corresponds to the first position, and the open position corresponds to the second position. However, it is also possible to omit the intermediate position and instead allow the covering element 101 to directly transition from the closed position to the open position. In this case, the closed position would correspond to the first position.
[0079] The device includes an electrically driven device 12, a window-shaped covering element 101 slidable relative to the fixed structure 100 for closing the opening 100a of the fixed structure, and a guiding system 1, wherein the covering element 101 can slide relative to the fixed structure 100 by means of the guiding system to expose or cover the opening 100a.
[0080] Figure 2a The fixed structure 100 is shown, and Figure 2b The guide system 1 and the cover element 101 are shown. Here, the guide system 1 includes a first guide rail 2 and a second guide rail 4 for relative movement of the cover element 101 relative to the fixed structure 100.
[0081] The first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 4 are disposed in the component liner 102 used for connecting and fixing the structure 100.
[0082] In addition, the additional guide rails 13 and 14 are integrated into and recessed into the frame 101a of the cover element 101.
[0083] The cover element 101 can be set substantially flush with the fixed structure in the closed position, and can be set parallel to the fixed structure 100 in the intermediate position and in the open position.
[0084] Figure 3a shows a cross-sectional view of the cover element at its midpoint relative to the guide system, and Figure 3b shows a cross-sectional view of the closed position.
[0085] Figure 3c Detail A of Figure 3b is shown. Here it can be seen that there are two horizontally oriented, slidably supported synchronizing rods 15.
[0086] Figures 4a to 4fPossible configurations of the cover element 101 in the form of a window are shown, wherein other configurations or material combinations that reduce thermal conductivity and / or thermal bridging are also feasible.
[0087] exist Figure 4a In this design, a structure featuring vacuum-insulated glass connected to a wooden frame attached to an aluminum profile was chosen. Figure 4b In this design, the vacuum-sealed glass is installed on an aluminum profile that does not contain wood. Figure 4c In the middle, the covering element 101 includes stepped slotted glass combined with wood and aluminum. Figure 4d In this structure, vacuum-sealed glass is connected to both plastic and aluminum profiles. Figure 4e and Figure 4f In the middle, multi-layered insulating glass is set at wood and aluminum with different geometries to connect to the guide system 1.
[0088] Figure 5a The guide system 1 is shown separately in the closed position, wherein the synchronizing rod 15 is slidably supported in a fixed support of the hinge 16, which is not mandatory.
[0089] Multiple drive devices 12 interact with four hinges 16, each including two elbows 17.

[0091] Figure 5c The guide system 1 is shown in the middle position, wherein... Figure 5e The diagram shows the guide system 1 in the fully open position of the cover element 101. Figure 5d Show Figure 5c Detail A, and Figure 5f Show Figure 5e Detail A.
[0092] Figure 5e and Figure 5c As shown, two hinges 16 are statically disposed at guide rails 2 and 4 and two hinges 16 are statically disposed at additional guide rails 13 and 14, such that the additional guide rails 13 and 14 are movable relative to guide rails 2 and 4, wherein the two hinges 16 are slidable relative to the two hinges 16.
[0093] Figure 5g Showing from another perspective Figure 5e A schematic perspective view of detail A, in which guide rail 14 can move parallel to guide rail 4.
[0094] exist Figure 6a The hinge 16 is shown in the closed position, the hinge passing through Figure 6bThe two elbows 17 in the middle are positioned relative to each other and move to Figure 6c The positioning of the cover element in the middle and open positions is such that it can slide orthogonally and parallel to the guide system.
[0095] The hinge 16 includes guides 3, 5, 18, and 19, wherein typically two guides 3 and 5 are movable at guide rails 2 and 4, and two guides 18 and 19 are movable at guide rails 13 and 14.
[0096] Figure 6d The hinge 16 is shown in an exploded view, in which for each elbow 17, two hinged levers are connected to each other via a hinged connection.
[0097] It can also be seen that guide bodies 3, 5, 18, and 19 have three rollers 11. Guide bodies 3, 5, 18, and 19 with other numbers of rollers 11 can also be considered.
[0098] Figure 7a A schematic perspective view is shown of the compensation device 6, the first guide 3, and the covering element 101 in the closed or intermediate position. Figure 7b A schematic perspective view is shown in the semi-open position, and Figure 7c A schematic perspective view is shown in the open position.
[0099] The steering device 8 is visible, which has three steering rollers 8a. The rope 7 is turned via the steering rollers 8a. The rope 7 is turned here so that the opening 100a located in the area bounded by the rope 7 remains exposed.
[0100] In its simplest form, rope 7 can be a simple, one-piece rope. In this embodiment, rope 7 consists of two segments 7a and 7b. Here, the first segment 7a is positioned at the shortening mechanism 9 via one end. The other end is rotated 180° via the steering roller 8a and positioned at the first guide 3. The second segment 7b is also positioned at the shortening mechanism 9 via one end and directly positioned at the second guide 5 via the other end.
[0101] Therefore, the shortening mechanism 9 functions as a connecting device. In this embodiment, the shortening mechanism 9 is configured as a tapered roller. Here, the shortening mechanism 9 is rotatably supported in the component liner 102.
[0102] In the closed or intermediate position ( Figure 7a The cover element 101 is positioned in front of the opening 100a. If the cover element 101 moves, the guides 3 and 5 move along the guide rails 2 and 3. Here, the rope 7 stabilizes the cover element 101. The second segment 7b is wound onto the shortening mechanism 9, and the first segment 7a is unwound from the shortening mechanism 9.
[0103] exist Figure 7b In the middle, the cover element 101 is in the semi-open position. The cover element 101 is relative to... Figure 7a The state of the slide is adjusted, and a portion of the opening 101a is released. It can be seen that the guides 3 and 5 slide along the guide rails 2 and 4 (not shown).
[0104] Here, the lower segment 7b of the rope 7 is directly positioned at the pulley 5. When the cover element 101 slides, segment 7b winds onto the shortening mechanism 9, while the upper segment 7a unwinds from the shortening mechanism 9. Segment 7a is also turned onto the guide body 3 via the guide roller 8a at the upper right corner.
[0105] exist Figure 7c In the middle, the cover element 101 is in the open position and the opening 101a is fully released. It can be seen that the guides 3 and 5 slide further and the sub-segment 7b is further wound onto the shortening mechanism, and the sub-segment 7a is further unwound from the shortening mechanism 9.
[0106] The tilting moment K occurring at the covering element 101 can be compensated by the compensation device 6. By turning the upper segment 7a of the rope 7 onto the guide body 3, the guide body 3 is "stopped". That is, the force generated by the tilting moment K can be received by the rope 7, thereby compensating for the tilting moment K.
[0107] As the opening of the covering element 101 increases, the tilting moment K also increases (due to the larger lever), which is advantageous because the effective length of the rope 7 can be adjusted. This can be achieved via the shortening mechanism 9.
[0108] Figure 8a shows the first position of the shortening mechanism 9 (closed position or intermediate position), Figure 8b shows the partially open position, and Figure 8c shows the second position (open position).
[0109] It can be seen that the rope 7 has two segments 7a and 7b. Segment 7a is located at the shortening mechanism 9 or within the shortening mechanism on the side 9b with the smaller diameter. Segment 7a is guided in the guide groove 9a, specifically with a length of three turns. Segment 7b is located at the shortening mechanism 9 or within the shortening mechanism on the side 9c with the larger diameter. Segment 7b is also guided in the guide groove 9a, however, with only one turn.
[0110] If the cover element 101 now slides, the guides 3 and 5 also move, and the segments 7a and 7b are correspondingly positioned at the guides. Subsequently, the shortening mechanism 9 rotates about the axis of rotation A. This causes the first segment 7a to unwind along the groove 9a and the second segment 7b to wind along the groove 9a. This continues until the cover element 101 is positioned in the second position, i.e., in the open position, or until the movement of the cover element 101 stops.
[0111] Because the shortening mechanism 9 is configured as a tapered roller, the amount of unwinding from sub-segment 7a (due to its location on the side 9b with a smaller diameter) is less than the amount of winding from sub-segment 7b (due to its location on the side 9c with a larger diameter). With this tapered roller configuration, as the opening of the covering element 101 increases, the amount of unwinding of sub-segment 7a decreases. Therefore, the upper sub-segment 7a is shortened compared to the lower sub-segment 7b, and thus, as the opening of the covering element 101 increases, the guide body 3 is blocked to a greater extent. This always allows for corresponding compensation of the increased tilting torque K.
[0112] In principle, the shortening mechanism 9 can also be configured as a stepped roller or two or more rotatably connected rollers with different diameters. This would also achieve the principle of the described shortening segment 7a. However, this would prevent stepless variation of the compensation for the tilting moment K.
[0113] Alternatively, the shortening mechanism 9 can be configured as a roller with a specific profile, such as having protrusions, ramps, flat sections, or shoulders. Other profiles are also possible. This allows for adjustment of compensation for the tilting moment K for specific given conditions.
[0114] Here, the segments 7a and 7b of the rope 7 can be provided at or within the shortening mechanism 9 by known means (e.g., by clamping). However, it is advantageous that the segments 7a and 7b are provided at the shortening mechanism 9 via a rope tensioning device 10 provided in or at the shortening mechanism 9.
[0115] Figure 9 An exploded view of a shortening mechanism 9 having two rope tensioning devices 10 is shown. It can be seen that the shortening mechanism 9 has two openings 9d. Rope rollers 10b can be introduced into these openings 9 respectively. The rope rollers 10b are rotatably and slidably supported in their respective openings 9d. Furthermore, an inlet opening 9e is provided, through which segments 7a, 7b of the rope 7 can be introduced into the shortening mechanism 9 and conveyed to the rope tensioning device 10.
[0116] The rope rollers 10b each have teeth 10c and a tool receiving portion 10a for operating the rope tensioning device 10. A locking mechanism 20a is formed by the locking pin 10d acting in conjunction with the teeth 10c. Furthermore, a fastening pin 20b is provided for additionally fastening the rope tensioning device 10. Here, the locking mechanism 20a and the fastening pin 20b each constitute the locking device 20. Alternatively, only one locking mechanism 20a or only one fastening pin 20b may be provided.
[0117] Figures 10a to 10b The steps for tensioning rope 7 are shown, specifically for tensioning segment 7a. Tensioning is performed similarly for segment 7b.
[0118] It is visible that segment 7a is introduced into the shortening mechanism 9 and the slit 10f in the rope drum 10b. The rope drum 10b is supported in the opening 9d. Here, the opening 9d is elongated, so that the rope drum 10b is not only rotatable but also slidable. In addition, the locking pin 10d is visible.
[0119] If the rope tensioning device 10 is operated (i.e., the rope drum 10b is rotated), the sub-segment 7a is at least partially wound onto the rope drum 10b (not shown here). This tensions the rope 7 and moves the rope drum 10a toward the locking pin 10d. Now, a locking mechanism 20a is formed via the teeth 10c and the locking pin 10d. This locking mechanism allows further rotation of the rope drum 10b (i.e., tensioning the sub-segment 7a) and maintains rope tension if the rope tensioning device 10 is no longer operated. Figure 10b ).
[0120] For situations where the rope 7 (segment 7a) is not under tension in one position of the guide system 1, an additional fastening pin 20b is introduced. This fastening pin 20b engages with the teeth 10c and prevents the rope drum 10b from slipping. Figure 10a In its initial position. Therefore, the rope tensioning device 10 is locked.
