AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the prior art, the guiding and locking devices of pivoting sliding door systems have problems such as high surface pressure, high manufacturing tolerance requirements, large wear and limited variability when facing external forces. In particular, under the action of pressure difference when vehicles pass through tunnels and the torque when passengers collide, it is difficult to ensure the stable locking of the door leaf.

Method used

The door adopts a sliding block structure with off-axis arrangement. The first and second sliding blocks move in the non-coaxial and spaced sliding guide parts, which increases the lever arm to better support the lateral force. At the same time, the locking protrusion is eliminated, and rollers or pins are used to roll on the guide rail to reduce friction, so as to achieve stable locking and flexible movement of the door.

Benefits of technology

It improves the locking security of the door leaf, simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces wear, enhances the flexibility and durability of the system, and reduces manufacturing costs.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pivoting sliding door system for a vehicle, particularly a rail passenger vehicle, as described in the preamble of claim 1, having guiding and locking devices for the door panels. The invention also relates to a vehicle with a pivoting sliding door system as described in claim 21. Background Technology

[0002] Guiding and locking devices for door panels in pivoting sliding door systems for passenger vehicles are known from the prior art. These guiding and locking devices ensure that, in a single or double-leaf pivoting sliding door, the door panel is flush with the vehicle's outer wall when closed, and ensure that the door panel can move along a track with straight and curved / arc sections along the vehicle's outer wall during opening and closing. For this purpose, the door panel is driven by a drive mechanism. In particular, the locking function of the guiding and locking devices should stably maintain the closed position of the door leaf, especially even when forces perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal axis occur, for example, due to pressure differences during travel in tunnels or due to forces resulting from passengers colliding with the door leaf.

[0003] EP 2 071 110 B1 discloses a similar pivoting sliding door system with guiding and locking devices. There, the guiding and locking devices include a pivot rod, which is guided at one end on one side via a guide roller in and on the door leaf, and at the other end is movably and pivotally supported in a slide guide via a slide slider. Here, a first axial section of the slide slider is guided in a first straight slide guide (…). Figure 4 This guides the slide block in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. In parallel, the second axial section of the slide block, equipped with a locking protrusion, is guided within the second slide guide portion of the second guide element. Figure 7 ), so that when the slide block is in the locking region of the second slide guide, the slide block is held in the locked position in the locking region of the second slide guide, and so that when the slide block is in the pivot region of the second slide guide, the pivot rod can be rotated. Figure 8 Therefore, the two axial sections of the slide block are arranged coaxially.

[0004] The disadvantage here is that, since only a relatively short lever arm capable of bearing the aforementioned forces is available for the locking protrusion, high surface pressure exists there, and the risk of the locking protrusion shifting out of the locking area cannot be ruled out, especially if the adjacent structure inevitably deforms during operation. Furthermore, the complementary locking and pivoting areas of the locking protrusion and the second slide guide require small manufacturing tolerances, which adversely affects manufacturing costs. In addition, the variability of pivoting movement is limited in this embodiment, and high wear occurs due to sliding motion.

[0005] In contrast, the objective of this invention is to provide a pivoting sliding door system having a door leaf and a guiding and locking device for the door leaf, the guiding and locking device ensuring high locking security of the door leaf while being simple to manufacture and experiencing minimal wear. Furthermore, a vehicle having such a pivoting sliding door system should also be provided.

[0006] This task is solved according to the invention by means of the features of claims 1 and 21. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention provides a pivoting sliding door system for vehicles, particularly tram vehicles, comprising at least:

[0008] a) A door frame with an entrance;

[0009] b) At least one door leaf configured to open and close a doorway;

[0010] c) A drive mechanism configured and arranged for driving the door leaf relative to the door frame, particularly along a track having straight and curved or arcuate sections;

[0011] d) A guiding and locking device, configured and arranged to guide the door leaf and lock the door leaf at least in the closed position, the guiding and locking device comprising at least:

[0012] d1) At least one first guide and locking element, which is rigidly connected to the door frame, in particular;

[0013] d2) A first pivot rod, which is guided on one side in or on the door leaf and pivotally supported on the other side via a first sliding mechanism relative to a first guide and locking element, the first sliding mechanism including a first sliding block guided on or in a first sliding guide portion and a second sliding block cooperating with a second sliding guide portion; wherein,

[0014] e) The first slide guide has a locking region and a pivoting region preferably adjacent to the locking region; and

[0015] f) In the closed position of the door, the first slide block is locked on or in the locking area.

[0016] Then, according to the provisions of the present invention:

[0017] g) The second slide block is offset from the coaxial position relative to the first slide block and is arranged at a distance.

[0018] The fact that the second slide block is offset from the first slide block and arranged at a distance means that the first and second slide blocks are not arranged coaxially as in EP 2 071 110 B1, but are arranged with a distance between them. The first and second slide guides can also be arranged without overlap or contact. Alternatively, they can at least partially overlap or contact each other.

[0019] This creates a larger lever arm between the first and second slide blocks, which can advantageously and better support the aforementioned (lateral) force, especially in the closed position of the door. Furthermore, this allows for the elimination of the locking protrusion of EP2 071 110 B1, enabling the use of a simpler cross-sectional shape, particularly for the first slide block, such as a cylindrical cross-section, which simplifies manufacturing.

[0020] Specifically, it is stipulated that during the opening of the door leaf, the door leaf driven by the drive device drives the first pivot rod, wherein:

[0021] a) The first pivot rod disengages the first slide block from the locking region, specifically from the locking region and then engages it with the pivot region, wherein the first slide block travels along the pivot region, and simultaneously

[0022] b) The first pivot rod causes the second slide block to move along the second slide guide or on or in the second slide guide until the door reaches the open position.

[0023] Alternatively, it can be stipulated that during the closing process of the door leaf, the door leaf driven by the drive device drives the first pivot rod, wherein,

[0024] a) The first pivot rod disengages the first slide block from the pivot region and then engages it with the locking region, specifically moving it into the locking region, and simultaneously...

[0025] b) The first pivot rod causes the second slide block to move along the second slide guide or on or in the second slide guide until the door reaches the closed position.

[0026] Preferably, the locking region has a first guide rail for the first slide block, particularly at least partially straight, and / or the pivoting region has a guide rail for the first slide block, particularly at least partially curved.

[0027] Thus, in the closed position of the door, the first slide block cooperates with the first guide rail, which is at least partially straight, in such a way that it moves into the first guide rail, which is at least partially straight, to prevent the door from moving at least perpendicular to the first guide rail, which is at least partially straight.

[0028] The second slide guide may also have a second guide rail, particularly at least partially straight, for the second slide slider, on or in the second guide rail.

[0029] In particular, the guide rail, which is at least partially curved, can also deviate from the arc-shaped guide rail and / or have arbitrary curvature. This results in high flexibility in the outward pivoting movement of the door.

[0030] In particular, the second slide block forms the pivot axis of the first pivot rod during door movement, especially the pivot axis on the door frame side of the first pivot rod, around which the first pivot rod rotates. Since the second slide block is preferably guided in a straight second guide rail, it is advantageous that the first slide block is guided in or at the pivot region of the first slide guide portion to ensure the defined guidance of the first pivot rod. In this regard, the guidance of the first pivot rod during pivoting or rotation is now achieved by guiding the first slide block in or at the first slide guide portion and by the cooperation of the second slide block with the second slide guide portion.

[0031] The first and second slide guides may be arranged, in particular, spaced apart from each other, in a single plane or in different, for example, parallel planes. In particular, the first and second slide guides are arranged spaced apart on the first guide and locking element.

[0032] In particular, the first guide rail of the straight line extends parallel to the second guide rail of the straight line. Preferably, the first guide rail and the second guide rail of the straight line are arranged parallel to each other and, in particular, collinear with each other. Furthermore, it can be specified that the first guide rail and the second guide rail of the straight line are arranged spaced apart from each other and, in particular, without overlap.

[0033] The first slide block and the second slide block can also be set parallel to each other and point in the same or opposite directions.

[0034] The first slide guide portion and / or the second slide guide portion can be at least partially configured as a slide opening. Therefore, the first slide guide portion and / or the second slide guide portion can also have at least one inner guide surface, preferably two opposing guide surfaces, for the first slide slider and / or the second slide slider. Alternatively or additionally, the first slide guide portion and / or the second slide guide portion can also have an outer guide surface for the first slide slider and / or the second slide slider.

[0035] In this regard, the term "guide track" can be understood as follows:

[0036] a) The guide rail has opposing guide surfaces, within which one or more of the slide blocks are guided on both sides, particularly by contact with these opposing guide surfaces on both sides; or

[0037] b) The guide rail includes or forms a single inner guide surface or outer guide surface.

[0038] Furthermore, the first guide rail, in particular, and / or the second guide rail, in particular, can be parallel to the door leaf or the longitudinal axis of the vehicle when the door leaf is in the closed position.

[0039] Last but not least, the first slide guide and / or the second slide guide can be configured as a slide opening.

[0040] Particularly preferably, a drive unit drives the door leaf, and the resulting movement of the door leaf drives a first pivot rod. In this respect, the first pivot rod is driven by the drive unit, for example, indirectly via the door leaf.

[0041] It can be stipulated that during the opening process of the door leaf, the door leaf driven by the drive device drives the first pivot rod, wherein,

[0042] a) The first pivot rod disengages the first slide block from the first guide rail, which is in particular straight, specifically moving the first slide block out of the first guide rail, which is in particular straight, wherein the first slide block moves along the first guide rail, which is in particular straight, in a first direction, and then engages with the pivot region, specifically moving into the pivot region, wherein the first slide block runs along the at least partially curved guide rail and the pivot rod pivots until the door reaches the open position, and simultaneously

[0043] b) The first pivot causes the second slide block to move along a second guide track, which is in particular a straight line.

[0044] Alternatively, it can be stipulated that during the closing process of the door leaf, the door leaf driven by the drive device drives the first pivot rod, wherein,

[0045] a) The first pivot rod disengages the first slide block from the pivot region, specifically moving the first slide block out of the pivot region and into the locking region, specifically moving it into the locking region, wherein the first slide block first runs along a guide track that is at least partially curved in the first slide guide and then runs along a first guide track that is particularly straight in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and simultaneously

[0046] b) The first pivot causes the second slide block to move along, in particular, a straight second guide rail or in or on, a straight second guide rail.

[0047] Because the drive unit drives the door leaf, and the first pivot rod is movable and pivotally coupled to the door leaf, for example by means of a guide roller, the first pivot rod is also (indirectly) driven by the drive unit during the drive process, and the first and second slide blocks are driven together with the first pivot rod. Therefore, the first pivot rod is specifically driven only by the door leaf, which in turn is driven by the drive unit.

[0048] In pivot sliding door systems, it can also be specified that:

[0049] a) The first slide block comprises: at least one roller, particularly having a circular cross-section, which rolls along the first slide guide; or at least one pin, particularly having a circular cross-section, which slides along the first slide guide; and / or

[0050] b) The second slide block includes: at least one roller having a circular cross-section, which rolls along the second slide guide; or at least one pin having a circular cross-section, which slides along the second slide guide.

[0051] The advantages of using at least one roller include reduced friction and wear, as well as better guidance of the first pivot rod.

[0052] According to a further improvement of the pivoting sliding door system, the first slide guide is configured as a first slide opening and the first guide rail, which is particularly straight, is configured to have a closed end and an open end, the open end being connected to at least a partially curved guide rail.

[0053] The closed end may have, in particular, a semi-circular cross-section with an inner diameter, into which the first slide block can be fitted and, in particular, with a small gap, into the inner diameter, especially when the first slide block has a cylindrical or circular cross-section. Preferably, in particular, the inner diameter of the semi-circular cross-section of the closed end of the first guide rail, which is straight, is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first slide block.

[0054] Therefore, when viewed in cross-section, the transition between the open end of the first guide rail, which is particularly straight, and the guide rail, which is at least partially curved, can be configured as an edge or radius.

[0055] In a similar manner, the second groove guide can be implemented as a second groove opening having two closed ends, at least one of which has a particularly semi-circular cross-section having an inner diameter, into which the second groove slider can be inserted in a form-locking manner and particularly with a small gap, especially when the second groove slider has a complementary cylindrical or circular cross-section.

[0056] It can also be stipulated that:

[0057] a) The first slide block and / or the second slide block are disposed on the first pivot rod, and the first slide guide and / or the second slide guide are configured in or on the first guide and locking element, or

[0058] b) The first slide block and / or the second slide block are configured on the first guide and locking element, and the first slide guide portion and / or the second slide guide portion are configured in or on the first pivot rod.

[0059] Preferably, in the pivoting sliding door system, the first slide block and the second slide block are fixed or disposed on the first pivot rod, and the first slide guide and the second slide guide are formed in or on the first guiding and locking element. Preferably, the first slide block and the second slide block protrude perpendicularly from the first pivot rod in the same direction or in opposite directions.

[0060] Preferably, in a pivoting sliding door system, the first slide guide and the second slide guide can be arranged...

[0061] a) in a plane, or

[0062] b) In multiple parallel planes, or

[0063] c) In mutually perpendicular planes.

[0064] A particularly high guiding stiffness is achieved through another embodiment of the pivoting sliding door system, in which the following is preferably specified:

[0065] a) The first chute device is arranged in the first plane, and

[0066] b) The first pivot rod is at least movably supported relative to the second guide and locking element via a second sliding mechanism, the second guide and locking element being rigidly connected to the door frame, wherein...

[0067] c) The second chute device has at least one additional chute guide in a second plane, the second plane being particularly perpendicular to the first plane, wherein,

[0068] d) The at least one additional slide guide extends at least parallel to the second slide guide and in the at least one additional slide guide, at least one additional slide block connected to the first guide and locking element is guided in the second slide guide, particularly in the same direction as the second slide block.

[0069] In this embodiment, it can be further specified that the first and second slide guide portions are formed on or in a first plate-shaped element serving as a first guide and locking element. At least one additional slide guide portion mentioned above can also preferably be implemented as a slide opening having at least one closed end, particularly having two closed ends, and can be formed on or in a second plate-shaped element serving as a second guide and locking element. Thus, the first plate-shaped element or the first guide and locking element can be arranged perpendicular to the second plate-shaped element or the second guide and locking element. As a further improvement to this embodiment, the first pivot rod and the second guide and locking element can also be connected to each other via a second slide slider.

[0070] According to another embodiment, a second pivot rod may also be provided in the pivoting sliding door system. This second pivot rod has one end pivotally hinged to the door frame and carries a second slide block at its other end. Specifically, the second pivot rod pivots relative to the door frame as the second slide block moves along a second slide guide. Thus, the first and second pivot rods are connected to each other via the second slide block, which extends through the second slide guide of the first guide and locking element.

[0071] The advantage of this implementation scheme is that, due to the pivotability of the first pivot rod about two axes—one about the second slide block and the other about the hinge of the second pivot rod on the door frame—the arc-shaped movement track of the first pivot rod, and thus the arc-shaped movement track of the door leaf, can be flexibly adapted to the respective requirements. This implementation scheme also imposes lower tolerance requirements and avoids distortion.

[0072] In a pivoting sliding door system, a first pivot rod, optionally a second pivot rod, and the at least one guiding and locking element may be arranged in the area of ​​the lower or upper edge of the door leaf.

[0073] The present invention also relates to a vehicle, particularly a rail passenger vehicle, comprising at least one pivoting sliding door system described above. Attached Figure Description

[0086] Figure 1 A pivoting sliding door system 100, particularly for rail passenger vehicles, is shown (not shown in detail), having two door panels 2 enclosed within a doorway formed by a door frame 4. However, the guiding and locking device 6, described in detail below, is not limited to such a two-panel pivoting sliding door system 100, but can also be used in a single-panel system, i.e., a pivoting sliding door system with only one door panel. In such a pivoting sliding door system, the door panel 2, acting as the pivoting sliding door panel, then follows a motion trajectory consisting of linear and arcuate movements.

[0087] Each door leaf 2 is movably and pivotally supported in its upper region by a retaining device on a Figure 1 On the support bar (not shown). Additionally, in the upper area of ​​the doorway, there is arranged... Figure 1 The drive unit 8 is shown only schematically. It drives the door panels 2 and moves them to open and close the doorway as they move along the outer wall 10 of the vehicle.

[0088] Preferably, each door leaf 2 is provided with a guide and lock device 6, which respectively mates with a door panel arranged on the side facing the vehicle interior space of the corresponding door leaf 2. In this embodiment, a guide and lock device 6 is installed on each door leaf 2 or door panel, for example on the floor side, preferably at the height of the lower edge of the left and right door leaf 2 on the door frame 4. However, it is also conceivable to arrange the guide and lock device 6 at any height of each pillar of the door leaf 2 or door frame 4, wherein the guide and lock device 6 is preferably arranged in the area of ​​the vehicle floor 12.

[0089] The guiding and locking device 6 is configured and arranged to guide and lock the door leaf 4, wherein locking is particularly performed in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle or perpendicular to the outer wall 10 of the vehicle, for example, in the closed position of the door leaf 4. In the following, the construction and function of such guiding and locking devices 6 are exemplarily described for all other guiding and locking devices 6.

[0090] exist Figure 2-5The preferred embodiment of the guiding and locking device 6 shown has a first guiding and locking element 14, which is rigidly connected to the uprights of the door frame 4. Here, the guiding and locking element 14 is formed, for example, by a plate fixed to the door frame. Furthermore, the guiding and locking device 6 has a first pivot rod 16, which is linearly and pivotally guided on one side, for example, by two guide rollers 18, in or on the linear guide portion 20 of the relevant door leaf 2, and is movably and pivotally supported relative to the first guiding and locking element 14 on the other side via a first slide rail device 72. The first slide rail device has, for example, a first slide rail slider 22 arranged on the first pivot rod 16 in a first slide rail guide portion 24, for example, the first guiding and locking element 14 configured as a first slide rail opening, and a second slide rail slider 26 arranged on the first pivot rod 16 in a second slide rail guide portion 28, for example, the first guiding and locking element 14 configured as a second slide rail opening, and is movably and pivotally supported. Therefore, in addition to the first pivot rod 16, the first and second guide slide sliders 22 and 26 and the first and second slide guide portions 24 and 28 are also included in the guiding and locking device 6.

[0091] Here, the first slide guide 24 has a locking region 30 and a pivoting region 34 connected to the locking region 30. The locking region has a first guide rail 32, which is specifically linear, for the first slide slider 22, and the pivoting region has a curved guide rail 36 for the first slide slider. The second slide guide 28 includes a second guide rail 38, which is specifically linear, for the second slide slider 26. Furthermore, it is specified here, for example, that the linear first guide rail 32, the linear second guide rail 38, and the curved guide rail 36 are arranged in the first guide and locking element 14 as through holes without overlapping or intersecting.

[0092] Therefore, the first guide rail 32, which is a straight line, is preferably arranged at a distance from the second guide rail 38, on or in the guide and locking element, and extends parallel and particularly collinear with respect to the second guide rail 38, wherein the two guide rails 32, 38 are substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle or parallel to the outer wall 10 of the vehicle. The first slide guide portion 24 and the second slide guide portion 28 are also preferably arranged at a distance from each other on the first guide and locking element 14.

[0093] Preferably, all guide rails 32, 36, and 38 here preferably have two opposing guide surfaces 40 for the first groove slider 22 and for the second groove slider 26, respectively, to ensure defined and rigid guidance of the groove sliders 22 and 26. Preferably, the two groove sliders 22 and 26, and in particular at least one groove slider, are configured as rollers, wherein the first groove slider 22 includes a first roller rotatable about a first roller shaft 56. Figure 7 and 8 The second slide block 26 includes a second roller rotatable about the second roller shaft 54. The two roller shafts 54, 56 are held, in particular, in an opening at one end of the first pivot rod 16 in a non-rotatable and axially fixed manner.

[0094] Rollers are rotatably fixed to roller shafts, which extend, for example, parallel to the side of the first pivot 16. The rollers then contact and roll along the opposing guide surfaces 40 of the guide rails. Alternatively, the slide blocks 22, 26, or at least one slide block, may be configured as pins that slide within the guide rails 32, 36, 38, or the slide guides 24, 28. Combinations of rollers and pins are also conceivable.

[0095] Furthermore, the straight first guide rail 32 here is implemented with a closed end 42 and an open end, the open end of which connects to the curved guide rail 36. The closed end 42 may have a semi-circular cross-section, in particular, with an inner diameter into which the first groove slider 22 can extend or move as a first roller in a locking manner, particularly with a small gap. Therefore, preferably, the inner diameter of the semi-circular cross-section of the closed end 42 of the straight first guide rail 32 is approximately equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first roller into which the first groove slider 22 is formed.

[0096] The transition between the open end of the straight first guide rail 32 and the curved guide rail 36 of the first groove guide portion 24, when viewed in cross-section, can be configured as an edge 44, such as in particular Figure 5 As shown.

[0097] In a similar manner, the second guide rail 38 of the straight line can be implemented with two closed ends 46, which here have, for example, a semi-circular cross-section with an inner diameter, into which the second roller can be inserted or moved in a form-locking manner and, in particular, with a small gap, especially when the second roller here has a complementary cylindrical or circular cross-section.

[0098] Based on Figure 3-5As can be best seen, the second slide block 26 is positioned off-axis and spaced apart from the first slide block 22 on the first pivot rod 16.

[0099] like Figure 3 As shown, in the closed position of the door leaf 2, the first roller, acting as a first slide block 22, moves into the closed end 42 of the straight first guide rail 32 of the locking region 30 of the first slide guide 24 and preferably contacts the closed end 42, which also forms a stop for the first roller acting as the first slide block 22. This prevents the door leaf 2 from moving perpendicular to the straight first guide rail 32 and, in particular, also perpendicular to the second guide rail 38, causing the door leaf 2 to lock in that direction in the closed position. In the locked closed position of the door leaf, the second roller, acting as the second slide block 26, also contacts the closed end 46 of the straight second guide rail 38, which is preferably semi-circular in cross-section, complementary to the second roller. There is also another closed end 46.

[0100] When now according to Figure 4 When the door leaf 2 is opened, the second roller, acting as the second slide block 26, rolls along the straight second guide rail 38, and the first roller, acting as the first slide block 22, rolls along the straight first guide rail 32 in the first direction. However, the first roller only rolls along the first guide rail 32 until it reaches the edge 44, which is formed at the transition between the straight first guide rail 32 (locking area 30) and the curved guide rail 36 (pivoting area 34).

[0101] During the continued opening motion of door 2, the first roller, acting as the first sliding block 22, moves out of the straight first guide track 32, as shown in... Figure 5 As shown, it then engages with the curved guide rail 36 of the pivot region 34, which is the first slide guide 24, and moves into the pivot region 34, whereby the first roller, as the first slide slider 22, runs along the curved guide rail 36 of the first slide guide 24 until the closed end 48 of the curved guide rail 36, which is preferably also shaped semi-circular complementary to the first roller and serves as a stop for the first roller. The door leaf 2 has then reached the open position.

[0102] In parallel time, the second roller, acting as the second slide block 26, continues to move in the first direction within the straight second guide rail 38 until it reaches the other closed end 46 of the straight second guide rail 38, which also forms a stop. Therefore, during the opening movement of the door leaf 2, the first pivot rod 16 pivots around the second roller, which in this case is the second slide block 26. The second slide block forms the pivot axis of the first pivot rod 16 during the movement of the door leaf 2, particularly the pivot axis of the first pivot rod 16 on the door frame side.

[0103] according to Figure 3-5 The reverse sequence readily conceivable is that during the closing of door 2, the first roller, acting as the first sliding block 22, moves out of the curved guide rail 36 as the pivot region 34, and then into the straight first guide rail 32 as the locking region 30. The first roller, acting as the first sliding block 22, first runs along the curved guide rail 36 and then along the straight first guide rail 32 in a second direction opposite to the first direction. This movement of the first roller, acting as the first sliding block 22, continues for such a long time that it abuts against or enters the closed end 42 of the straight first guide rail 32. Simultaneously, the second roller, acting as the second sliding block 26, also moves in the second direction from one closed end 46 of the straight second guide rail 38 to the other closed end 46. Therefore, it can be said that the two sliding blocks 22 and 26 move synchronously in the first sliding guide 24 and the second sliding guide 28.

[0104] The guiding and locking device 6' in Figure 6-8 Another embodiment shown differs from the preferred embodiment 6 described at the beginning in that the first pivot rod 16 is additionally supported movably and pivotally relative to the second guide and locking element 50 via the second slide rail device 74. For this purpose, in addition to the first guide and locking element 14, which is only partially visible here and is also plate-shaped, together with the first slide rail guide 24 and the second slide rail guide 26, as in... Figure 3-5 As shown, a second, plate-shaped guide and locking element 50 is also provided, having at least one additional chute guide portion, for example, two additional chute guide portions 52, for example, arranged in a second plane, for example, perpendicular to the first plane in which the first guide and locking element 14 is arranged.

[0105] Therefore, the first slide guide 24 and the second slide guide 28 are configured in a first plate-shaped element that serves as a first guide and locking element 14, and the two additional slide guides 52 are configured in a second plate-shaped element that serves as a second guide and locking element 50. Here, the first plate-shaped element, or the first guide and locking element 14, is arranged, for example, perpendicular to the second plate-shaped element or perpendicular to the second guide and locking element 50.

[0106] The connection between the first pivot 16 and the second guide and locking element 50 can be achieved, for example, by the second roller shaft 54 ​​formed on the second guide and locking element 50 being held in the second opening of the first pivot 16 in a manner that prevents relative rotation and is axially fixed, such as in particular Figure 7 and 8 As shown. Thus, the second roller, as the second slide block 26, is rotatably supported on the second roller shaft 54, wherein the second roller, as the second slide block 26, can roll along the second guide track 38, which is the straight line of the first guide and locking element 14, in the previously described embodiment.

[0107] exist Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this configuration, the first roller shaft 56, which serves as the first roller of the first slide block 22, is also visible. This first roller is held in the opening of the first pivot 16 in a manner that prevents relative rotation and ensures axial fixation. The first roller, as the first slide block 22, is rotatably supported on the first roller shaft 56, and in the previously described embodiment, it can roll along the first slide guide portion 24 of the first guide and locking element 14.

[0108] The two additional slide guide portions 52 are also preferably implemented as straight guide tracks 58, each having two closed ends, which are complementary to the additional rollers of the additional slide sliders 60 guided in the two additional straight guide tracks 58. Furthermore, the two additional straight guide tracks 58 of the two additional slide guide portions are, for example, spaced apart from each other, collinear, and extend parallel to the second slide guide portion 28, i.e., parallel to the straight second guide track 38.

[0109] The two additional rollers, serving as additional slide block 60, are rotatably held here, for example, on two additional roller shafts 62, which are supported on cheek plates 64 extending vertically from the plate-shaped first guide and locking element 14. Therefore, the additional rollers in the two additional slide guides 52, as additional slide block 60 connected to the first guide and locking element 14, are linearly guided in a direction in which the second roller, as the second slide block 26, is also linearly guided in the second slide guide 28.

[0110] When door 2 is closed ( Figure 6 This allows for the first guide and locking element 14 and the first and second slide blocks 22, 26 guided therein to achieve [the desired effect]. Figure 3 The situation is illustrated because the first guide and locking element 14 are constructed identically there. Furthermore, the additional roller, acting as an additional slide block 60, is located at the other end of the additional straight guide rail 58 and moves into it, as shown... Figure 7 As shown.

[0111] During the opening motion of door leaf 2, the first guide and locking element 14 and the first and second slide blocks 22 and 26 guided therein receive [the necessary action / condition]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The situation is illustrated in the diagram. Parallel to this, the additional rollers, acting as additional sliding blocks 60, run in the additional straight guide rail 58 until they abut against one end of each other, as shown in the diagram. Figure 8 The illustration shows the situation when the door fan 2 is in the open position.

[0112] The guiding and locking device 6'' in Figure 9-11Another embodiment shown differs from the preferred embodiment 6 described at the beginning in that the second slide block 26 is additionally pivotally hinged to the door frame 4 via a second pivot rod 66 and a hinged connection 68. The hinged connection 68 is arranged at one end of the second pivot rod 66 together with the door frame 4, and the other end of the second pivot rod 66 is connected to the second slide block 26 via a hinge member 76, wherein the second slide block 26 extends, for example, through the second slide guide 28. Therefore, for example, a hinge member 76 is formed at the end of the second slide block 26 extending from the second slide guide 28, and the other end of the second pivot rod 66 is hinged to the second slide block 26 via this hinge member, wherein the hinge axis of the hinge member 76 is coaxial with the second slide block 26. Therefore, the second pivot rod 66 can rotate relative to the second slide block 26 via the hinge member 76. Furthermore, when the second pivot rod 66 rotates about the hinged connection 68, the two ends of the second guide rail 28, which is approximately straight, can form end stops for the second slide block 26. When the door leaf 2 moves, the second pivot rod 66 can pivot about the hinged connection 68 relative to the door frame 4, provided that the end stops of the second slide guide 28 relative to the second slide block 26 allow this.

[0113] Then, Figure 9 The diagram illustrates the closed door 2, in which the first roller, acting as a first slide block 22, abuts against one end of the straight first guide rail 32, and the second roller, acting as a second slide block 26, abuts against one end of the straight second guide rail 38. The second pivot rod 66 is then, for example, additionally preloaded by a spring mechanism 70, in a first pivot position, which is defined, for example, by the second roller acting as the second slide block 26 abutting against the other end of the straight second guide rail 38.

[0114] Then Figure 10 The following diagram illustrates the situation that occurs during the opening movement of door leaf 2. The order in which the first roller acts as the first slide block 22 within the first slide guide 24 and the second roller acts as the second slide block 26 within the second slide guide 28 is the same as the order in the preferred embodiment 6 described at the beginning and therefore should not be repeated here.

[0115] When door 2 reaches Figure 11 When in the open position shown, the second pivot rod 66 pivots to a second pivot position, which is defined, for example, by the second roller acting as a stop for the second slide block 26 against one end of the straight second guide rail 38.
