Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for simplifying the installation and / or adjustment of a drive mechanism for a movable push fan or a movable lifting push fan, as well as a door or window frame in which the fan is movably held, and a drive mechanism for operating a sliding door device for a window or door. Background Technology

[0002] The movable sashes of systems used as push or lift sashes for windows or doors often have relatively high mass. A significant amount of force is required to open the sash, especially when moving it from its stationary position. Closing also requires overcoming the sash's weight and applying resistance. Known actuators are visibly mounted on windows or doors and concealed by additional covers, which significantly affects the appearance. Similarly, the risk of injury from the obstructed laying of visible components during installation is increased. Furthermore, visible components provide greater possibilities for operation from the outside. The installation of such actuators has also proven to be costly by known prior art.

[0003] Furthermore, while cover-type placement of actuators is known, they can only be integrated at high cost and in fewer suitable profile systems. In particular, the milling costs in the profiles have proven to be very high and can lead to high costs and structural weakening of window or door elements.

[0004] Furthermore, force transmission in such sliding door systems typically relies on belt drives, which require additional components and must be considered from the outset in the design and construction of the sliding door system. Therefore, using known drive schemes, it is either impossible or only possible, at a high cost, to add a manual sliding door system with a motor-driven actuator.

[0005] In addition, drives typically include an interface through which electrical power and / or control signals can be wired into the drive. Direct wired connections for motor-driven operation are costly in installation and require additional installation space. Milling is possible in the sash or door / window frame. To perform this milling, specialized tools, significant time investment, and specialized expertise are required. Therefore, wired variations are costly in installation and have proven disadvantageous for doors or windows placed under cover.

[0006] Installing and adjusting actuators for at least movable operation of the movable sash or similar of a window or door is generally relatively costly and depends on the size and weight of the window or door involved.

[0007] Known actuators for windows or doors with sliding or lifting sliding sashes are arranged on the vertical beam of the sliding sash, or laid flat and visible on the horizontal beam above the window / door frame or on the upper beam of the sliding sash. The actuator for moving the sliding sash, with its current supply via a horizontal upper guide rail, is positioned as an integrated component unit, concealed within the horizontal beam above the sliding sash, in a simple installation manner within the system, especially in existing windows or doors with movable lifting sliding sashes, which can only be achieved with minimal structural space.

[0008] Here, WO 2014 / 097211 A1 is known, which has a door or window with a movable sash as a push sash or a movable lift-up push sash, having a door / window frame, the sash being movably held in the door / window frame, and having a drive mechanism. For moving the sash, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor arranged on the frame side, the drive motor having a lead screw driven thereon. The lead screw is forcibly guided around a rack element arranged on the sash. The drive motor and the lead screw are formed as a single component unit supported in a housing.

[0009] Furthermore, referring to DE 202018001610 U1, it has a door or window and a movable, liftable sliding sash. It has a door / window frame, the sash is liftable and movably held within the door / window frame, and has a drive mechanism that includes a drive motor arranged on the side of the sash for moving the sash. The drive motor has a lead screw driven on the drive motor and forms a component unit supported in a housing. The drive mechanism is arranged on the door / window frame and is horizontally adjustable and forcibly guided around a rack element present on the door / window frame. When the sash is installed in the door / window frame, the drive unit is positioned almost completely concealed in the recess or receiving groove of the upper horizontal beam of the sash and in the guide rail arranged on the door / window frame, allowing it to move perpendicular to the door / window frame together with the sash. The drive unit is movably connected to the upper horizontal beam of the component fixed to the door / window frame on the side facing the door / window frame in a horizontally movable manner, and can enter the recess or receiving groove from the open end of the upper horizontal beam of the lifting and pushing sash on the side of the drive unit facing the lifting and pushing sash. The drive unit is positionally connected to the sash and moves horizontally with the sash in the longitudinal direction of the door / window frame while maintaining a vertically unchanged position relative to the door / window frame. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The object of the present invention is to eliminate known disadvantages by specifying a method of the type described above, which significantly simplifies the installation and / or adjustment of the drive for a movable fan, used as a push-pull or lift-pull fan, in a manner as simple and reliable as possible. The drive is designed for large-scale feasible solutions and for optimized guidance of windows or doors. Furthermore, the drive can also be installed, adjusted, and removed afterward in a simple, quick, safe, and precise manner.

[0011] According to the invention, this task is accomplished by a door or window having a movable fan as a push fan or a movable lifting push fan, a door or window frame in which the fan is movably held, and a drive mechanism, through a method having the steps of the method described in claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the method according to the invention are given by the dependent claims, this specification, and the accompanying drawings.

[0012] The method according to the invention for simplifying the installation and / or adjustment of the drive mechanism for operating movable sashes, especially lift-type push sashes, of doors, windows, or the like includes the following steps:

[0013] a) Using a guide rail having a profile groove that can be engaged from behind along the length of the guide rail by means of an opening in its cross-section, the profile groove having a first recess that widens at the opening.

[0014] a1) Inserting a fixing element into the recess by locking it from behind in the profile groove to reliably retain it, while moving it along the direction of a first end of the guide rail.

[0015] a2) Pre-installation is performed by movably and shape-lockingly connecting the toothed segment to a slide arranged on a motor-driven driver and connecting the toothed surface of the toothed segment to a lead screw on the driver, so as to connect the driver to the guide rail.

[0016] a3) In a manner that reliably retains the toothed segment and the driver by engaging from behind in the profile groove to move along the direction of the first end of the guide rail and the fixing element, the toothed segment arranged on the driver is engaged into the profile groove through the recess.

[0017] a4) In order to reliably retain movement along the first end of the guide rail and the direction of the drive by locking it from behind in the profile groove, a fixed number of individual toothed segments of a preset opening width and / or guide rail length for the sliding sash of the window or door are inserted into the profile groove through the recess.

[0018] a5) At least one filler is further engaged into the profile groove via the recess by means of being reliably held in the direction of the toothed segment and the first end of the guide rail by being engaged from behind in the profile groove.

[0019] a6) A filling contact is inserted by moving the second recess of the guide rail, which is widened at the opening, so that the filling contact is locked from behind in the profile groove of the guide rail.

[0020] a7) Fix and ensure the position of the loading contact and all components of the drive device in the profile groove of the guide rail, opposite to the first movable direction of one of the first ends of the drive device.

[0021] a8) With all components of the drive unit in place, the fixing element is moved and fixed in the profile groove of the guide rail in the opposite direction of the second movable direction of one second end of the drive unit.

[0022] Based on this design scheme, the installation or adjustment of the corresponding drive unit is significantly simplified in a simple and reliable manner for the relevant users or installers. Not only is the cost of installation or adjustment reduced, but the installation or adjustment of the motor-driven drive can now be performed more reliably and also more quickly. Similarly, it is easy to disassemble the drive unit in the reverse order of method steps a) to a8). Furthermore, when replacing or disassembling the drive unit, it is not necessary to separate the movable sash from the door / window frame.

[0023] The drive mechanism is arranged in such a way that it is suitable as a movable sash for a window or door, or a movable lift-up sash. Furthermore, the movable sash has at least two driving elements, each with a pulley, for moving along a track parallel to the extension of the sash or door section that is fixedly mounted in position, or along the track. To automatically and movably operate the movable sash, an operating element with a switch is provided on a vertical beam, which controls the drive mechanism. With operation of the operating element, the movable sash can, for example, move from a closed position to an open position relative to the fixed door / window frame and the fixedly mounted sash or door section. The movable sash can also thus be placed in a fixed, moved ventilation position or in the area of ​​an opening. The movable sash is movably held on the door / window frame by the driving elements on its bottom side being supported on the track.

[0024] Similarly, it is conceivable that the drive unit could be operated via a remote control unit or a smart home system.

[0025] Furthermore, the operating element can control a motor-driven actuator arranged in front of a vertical beam along the closing direction. This actuator will also transfer the locking device on the vertical beam to either the locked closed position or the unlocked open position of the movable fan. It is also conceivable that manual operation can be performed via a lever-driven transmission mechanism to the locking device.

[0026] In a system of movable lift-up push-sash windows or doors, the movable sash can be automatically or manually transported from a closed position to a raised open position via a drive element through a coupling connection between the lever and the drive element, so that it can then be moved by a drive mechanism.

[0027] Similarly, the two aforementioned manipulation variations can also be arranged within a window or door, and these variations can be selected as required and are similar in characteristics to the hybrid system. Additional actuators selected in the system are additionally connected to control lines and / or electrical wires and linked to the control unit.

[0028] In order to enable the position of the sliding fan relative to the fixed door and window frame and relative to the fixedly installed fan or the fixed door area, a special accessory device is set between the movable fan and the fixed door and window frame, namely a system for pushing or movable lifting fans.

[0029] In an advantageous manner, the drive unit for moving the sliding sash includes an actuator arranged on the sash side, the actuator having a motor and a lead screw driven by the motor. The lead screw is forcibly guided around a rack element arranged on the door / window frame. The covering arrangement of the drive unit is achieved such that the drive unit, in the installed state of the movable sash, is almost completely fitted into a recess or receiving groove in the upper horizontal beam of the movable sash and into a guide rail arranged on the door / window frame. For optimal support of the drive components of the drive unit, the actuator and the lead screw form a single component unit supported in a housing. The rack element, having a single toothed segment, is almost completely surrounded by the guide rail. The receiving groove on the upper horizontal beam of the movable sash forms an opening at the corresponding free end, which allows for coupling between the sash-side component of the drive unit and the component on the door / window frame side.

[0030] By adhering to the order of the components, the components are used to install the drive device 1 into the guide rail 5 according to the method of the invention, and by the structural design of the various components of the drive device and the design of the guide rail in cross-section, the guide rail has profile grooves for the components to be movably engaged from the rear and has recesses for placing the components into the profile grooves. According to the invention, steps a1) to a8) are either performed on the guide rail which has been pre-installed and fixed on the horizontal beam at the upper part of the door and window frame, or performed before installation onto the door and window frame by combining all the components of the drive device into the guide rail using steps a1) to a8), and then the drive device, which forms a component unit, is fixed onto the door and window frame.

[0031] The movable sash comprises four beams constructed of hollow profiles, particularly aluminum or plastic, or of solid profiles made of wood. These beams contain pre-fabricated recesses or receiving grooves for the mounting of fitting components, particularly the drive mechanism. Thus, the drive mechanism according to the invention is effectively connected and mounted in the recesses or receiving grooves within the guide rails between the horizontal beams of the upper part of the door / window frame and the upper beams of the movable sash, and also parallel to the fixedly mounted sash or fixed door area. Therefore, no additional steps are required for the installation of the drive mechanism on the sash.

[0032] Furthermore, advantageously, a battery is mounted on the lifting fan, which maintains continuous electrical contact with the drive unit during the movement of the movable fan or when the fan is in a stationary position.

[0033] According to a practical design scheme that meets the purpose of the method according to the invention, all components of the drive device according to the invention are engaged in the profile groove of the guide rail by a first recess and a second recess, wherein these recesses are arranged in a through opening with a widening relative opening on the visible, fan-oriented side of the guide rail in the mounted state.

[0034] Another preferred design of the method according to the invention is characterized in that the actuator, together with its lead screw, performs a horizontally movable movement by pushing the sliding door relative to the door / window frame via a toothed segment of the rack element, wherein a large number of toothed segments, constructed identically in length and design, are movably engaged into the profile groove via a first recess. Specifically, one toothed segment is movably and form-locked to the lead screw of the actuator before engagement with the profile groove, and is subsequently, preferably, placed into the recess when connected to the drive unit, and positioned in a rear-locked position in the profile groove in a guide rail for movable retention.

[0035] The number of toothed segments is related to the length of the guide rail, which in turn is related to the length of the window or door frame. The number of toothed segments can be preset. The length of the drive unit in the guide rail and the length of the guide rail itself have controllable dimensions corresponding to the length of the window or door and / or the opening width of the sliding sash, which serve as preset values ​​for the number of toothed segments. All toothed segments together form a rack element.

[0036] It is also particularly advantageous that the toothed segments of the rack element cannot be mistakenly inserted into the guide rail, because the design of the toothed segments allows them to engage from the left side as from the right side, and in an implementation where the cross-section of the toothed segments is configurably adapted to the profile groove and the opening of the guide rail, the toothed segments can be movably engaged from the rear into the profile groove only with visible toothed surfaces pointing towards the push fan.

[0037] Furthermore, at least one filler, preferably two fillers, is inserted into the profile groove of the guide rail through the first recess for fine-tuning the preset length of the drive mechanism, and moves from behind to reliably remain in the profile groove. The length of the drive mechanism in the guide rail (which reflects a controllable dimension corresponding to the length of the window or door and / or the opening width of the sliding sash) determines the length of the filler. The length of the filler varies depending on the length of the window or door and / or the opening width of the sliding sash, but conventional components for windows or doors are prefabricated and accordingly assemblable.

[0038] As the loading contact is inserted through the second recess widened at the opening of the guide rail and subsequently moved in a rear-locking manner within the profile groove of the guide rail, in a preferred practical design, the loading contact is fixed during movement within the profile groove to ensure no further movement. With the loading contact fixed in the profile groove, all components of the drive unit arranged in the profile groove of the guide rail are also fixed in position against the first movable direction of the first end of the drive unit.

[0039] To achieve simple transmission of power supply, according to step a6), as the filling contact is placed into the profile groove of the guide rail, the control line and / or wire of the filling contact is guided through the profile groove against the direction of the drive unit arrangement through the window or door frame to the couplerable power grid / power source at the outside of the window or door.

[0040] The cover rail, which can be mounted on the guide rail, extends from the second end to the first component of the drive unit in an unused area of ​​the drive unit component in the guide rail, and can advantageously cover the opening of the profile slot for optical reasons, wherein the control lines and / or wires for power supply are simultaneously protected and covered.

[0041] To secure the filling contact in the profile groove of the guide rail, according to step a7), a form-locking connection is established between the filling contact and the guide rail. This is achieved in one manner by means of at least one pin arranged on the filling contact and a receiving portion arranged on a guide surface opposite the opening, thereby positioning the filling contact in a form-locking, position-oriented position in the profile groove that is snapped in from behind.

[0042] When the toothed segments are arranged without gaps and immovably in a row-aligned position in the profile groove of the guide rail, the drive can operate in a driven manner using the connection of the toothed segments without frictional resistance. According to the invention, this is achieved by the following steps: the fixing elements resting on all the components of the drive device are pressed without gaps in the profile groove of the guide rail against the second movable direction of the second end of the drive device. According to step a8), the fixing elements are formed by two identical clamping members, which together are pushed against all the other belonging components in the profile groove of the guide rail of the drive device along the direction of the components. The second clamping member pointing to the free end is clamped and fixed by means of a tool engagement in a tool insert. Subsequently, another tool, preferably a screwdriver, is engaged between the clamping members, and causes the unfixed first clamping member facing the component to apply contact pressure to the component of the drive device by the rotation of the screwdriver, which is then correspondingly fixed by means of a tool engagement in a tool insert. Therefore, the second clamping member is released and moves along the direction of the position against the first clamping member, and is clamped and fixed in the profile groove by the operating tool. The second clamping member, as a further safety measure, works together with the first clamping member to prevent undesirable movement of the drive unit in the guide rail.

[0043] All components of the drive unit, including the driver, are supported and held in the guide rail in the installed state, forming an integrated component in conjunction with the guide rail, and are clamped and fixed without gaps in the profile groove of the guide rail to prevent undesirable movement, with the components of the drive unit arranged in rows to each other.

[0044] According to the method steps of the invention, a selectable arrangement of the drive device on a window or door is achieved. These method steps enable the drive device to be fixedly arranged in the guide rail in simple steps before the guide rail is installed onto the window or door, and subsequently fully assembled with the guide rail onto the upper horizontal beam of the window or door frame, or the components of the drive device are implemented into the guide rail using the method steps according to the invention, which utilize the guide rail already arranged on the upper horizontal beam of the window or door frame, so as to create a connection between the window or door frame and the sliding sash using a simple device via a motor-movable actuator on the window or door frame and in the guide rail.

[0064] Figure 1The perspective view shows a window or door 3, a window / door frame 4 with a movable sash 2, and a sash or door zone 60 fixedly installed adjacent to the sash 2. To operate the movable sash 2, an operating element 61 with a switch is provided on a vertical beam 62, which controls the drive unit 1. With operation of the operating element 61, the movable sash 2 can be moved, for example, from... Figure 1 The closed position of the door / window frame 4 and the fixedly mounted sash or door area 60 can be moved to a position not shown according to the arrow direction, but on the other hand, it can also be placed in a fixed but moved ventilation position or in the area of ​​a through opening. The push sash 2 here is suspended or... Figure 1 One or more driving elements 65 on the bottom side are movably held on the door / window frame 4 with the slide rail 64 supported.

[0065] It is also conceivable that the drive unit 1 can be operated via a remote control unit or a smart home system. For this purpose, a wireless system is installed in the wall, with control units distributed within the push fan 2 via the drive assembly. Similarly, it is possible to operate the drive unit 1 according to... Figure 1 A power supply 24 is installed on the window or door 3, and a control unit 40 is installed if necessary. The power supply 24 and the control unit 40 can also be installed in the wall of the building 41 and connected to the operating element 61 and the drive unit 1 via control lines and / or wires 22.

[0066] Furthermore, the operating element 61 can control the actuator 66, schematically shown on the vertical beam 62 along the closing direction, which also moves the locking device (not shown on the vertical beam 62) to either the locked closed position or the unlocked open position of the movable sector 2. Manual operation via a lever-to-locking device transmission mechanism is also conceivable.

[0067] In a system of movable lift-up push-seal sash 2 for window or door 3, the movable sash 2 can be automatically or manually operated via an operating element 61 through a schematically shown drive 66. Figure 1 The closed position is conveyed to the raised open position via a coupling connection between the lever and the driving element 65, so that it can be moved by the drive unit 1.

[0068] Similarly, the two previously described manipulation variations can also be arranged within a window or door 3, and these variations can be selected as required and are similar in characteristics to the hybrid system. Additional actuators selected for the system are also connected to control lines and / or wires 22 and to the power supply 24 and control unit 40.

[0069] To enable the movable sash 2 to be positioned relative to the fixed door / window frame 4 and relative to the fixedly installed sash, or rather, relative to the fixed door area 60, a special accessory device, namely a system for pushing or movable lifting sashes, is provided between the movable sash 2 and the fixed door / window frame 4. Figure 1 For simplicity, only the operating element 61 on the movable fan 2, a portion of the lower slide rail 64 for the driving element 65, and the upper guide rail 5 can be seen briefly.

[0070] according to Figure 3 The drive unit 1 includes a driver 12, which has a lead screw 13 driven on the driver. The lead screw 13 is based on... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The rack element 33, composed of toothed segments 11, arranged around the door and window frame 4, is forcibly guided. According to... Figure 1 The drive unit 1 is almost entirely arranged in a concealed manner in the recess or receiving groove 34 of the horizontal beam 67 above the movable sash 2 and in the guide rail 5 arranged on the horizontal beam 19 above the door / window frame 4 in the installation position of the movable sash 2. The drive unit 12 and the lead screw 13 are based on Figure 3 It is supported in the housing 35 as a structural unit. The rack element 33 is based on... Figure 13 The guide cross section, i.e., the so-called profile groove 7, is almost completely surrounded by the guide rail 5, which forms the support. The gap in the guide rail 5 is in the installation position of the guide rail 5 on the door and window frame 4 according to... Figure 12 An opening 6 is formed pointing towards the sliding sash 2, thus creating a feasible scheme for coupling between the component arranged on the movable sash 2 and the component of the drive device 1 mounted on the door / window frame 4. The actuator 12 and the lead screw 13 are based on... Figure 1 and Figure 4 The drive connection is coupled along the longitudinal direction relative to the direction of movement of the movable sector 2 in order to transmit motion in a rotary manner via gear transmission.

[0071] The movable push fan 2 is based on Figure 1 It includes four beams, which are constructed of hollow profiles, particularly aluminum profiles or composite material profiles, or solid profiles made of wood. These beams, as according to... Figure 1 The described beams 62, 63, 67, and 68 are for concealed mounting of fitting components in recesses or receiving slots. Therefore, in the upper horizontal beam 67, according to... Figure 1 A drive unit 1 is disposed in the receiving groove 34, and the drive unit is arranged in a manner pointing toward the vertical beam 68. Preferably, the fan-side components of the drive unit 1, especially the housing 35 of the actuator 12, are arranged according to... Figure 3The structure is configured such that, in height H and width B, it is aligned with the upper horizontal beam 67 of the movable fan 2. Figure 1 The recess or receiving groove 34 is matched.

[0072] In order to equip the narrow lift fan 2 with an automatic drive system or drive unit 1 without visual limitations, according to Figure 1 An energy storage device 42 is installed on the lifting fan 2. This energy storage device is in continuous electrical contact with the drive unit 1 during the movement of the movable fan 2 or in the stationary position of the fan 2. Here, in the stationary position, for example, according to... Figure 1 In the closed position relative to the door and window frame 4, according to Figure 2 and Figure 8 The movable fan 2 is powered by an extension of the loading contact 15 having a rack element 33 via a power supply 24 arranged in the door / window frame 4 or the building wall 41 and the electrical contacts of the drive unit 1 in a bridge manner.

[0073] Therefore, the other working steps for installing the drive unit 1 on the push fan 2 are omitted.

[0074] According to the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 13 The installation and / or adjustment of the drive unit 1 into the guide rail 5 is accomplished by the following steps, wherein the guide rail 5 is as follows: Figure 2 That is, it is already fixed to the horizontal beam 19 on the upper part of the door and window frame 4, or the guide rail 5 is based on... Figure 13 It is in a free, unassembled, and usable state.

[0075] a) Using according to Figure 12 The guide rail 5 has an opening 6 in its cross-section that allows it to be engaged from behind along the length of the guide rail 5. The profile groove 7 has a design based on... Figure 10 The first recess 8 is widened at the opening 6.

[0076] a1) Reliably held by locking it from behind in the profile groove 7 will be based on Figure 13 The fixing element 9 along according to Figure 1 When the first end 10 of the guide rail 5 moves in the direction of the guide rail 5, it is inserted into the recess 8.

[0077] a2) According to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The drive 12 is pre-installed by connecting the toothed segment 11 to the lead screw 13 on the drive 12, so that the drive 12 can be connected to the guide rail 5.

[0078] a3) Reliably retaining the profile along the groove 7 by locking it from behind.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the toothed segment 11 and the first end 10 of the guide rail 5 move in the direction, at least one filler 14 according to FIG. 14 will continue to engage with the guide rail 5 through the recess 8. Figure 7 In the profile groove 7,

[0081] a6) By according to Figure 7 The second recess 16 of the guide rail 5, widened at the opening 6, is moved to allow the filling contact 15 to be inserted from behind into the profile groove 7 of the guide rail 5. Figure 6 The loading contact 15,

[0082] a7) According to Figure 2 and Figure 13 The guide rail 5 is fixed and secured in the profile groove 7 in the opposite direction to the first movable direction of the first end 17 of the drive device 1, according to... Figure 8 The position of the loading contact 15 and all components 9, 11, 12, 14, 15 of the drive unit 1.

[0083] a8) With all components 9, 11, 12, 14, 15 of the drive device 1 resting against the second movable direction of the second end 18 of the drive device 1, according to Figure 2 and Figure 13 In the profile groove 7 of the guide rail 5, according to Figures 14a to 14d The fixed components can be moved and fixed.

[0084] By means of mounting drive unit 1 to according to Figure 2 and Figure 13According to the method steps of the present invention, the movable sash of the guide rail 5 can be automatically optimized simply and cost-effectively as a push sash 2 or a movable lift sash for a window or door 3. To achieve this method step, all components of the drive device 1, such as the fixing element 9, the toothed segment 11, the filler 15, and the filling contact 15, are configured to match the cross-section of the profile groove 7 of the guide rail 5 in their external configuration in cross-section.

[0085] By adhering to the order of the components, the components are used to install the drive device 1 into the guide rail 5 according to the method of the invention, and by the structural design of the various components 9, 11, 12, 14, 15 of the drive device 1 and the design of the guide rail 5 in cross-section, the guide rail has profile grooves 7 for the components to be movably engaged from behind and has recesses 8, 16 for placing the components 9, 11, 12, 14, 15 into the profile grooves 7, according to steps a1) to a8) of the invention. Figure 2 This can be implemented either on the guide rail 5, which is pre-installed and fixed on the horizontal beam 19 above the door / window frame 4, or by steps a1) to a8) involving the engagement of all components 9, 11, 12, 14, and 15 of the drive unit 1, after the guide rail 5 is installed according to... Figure 13 The process is carried out on the door and window frame 4 before the drive device 1, which is then fixed to the door and window frame 4 as a component unit.

[0086] According to the present invention, all components 9, 11, 12, 14, and 15 of the drive device 1 are based on... Figure 7 The first and second recesses 8 and 16 are engaged with the profile groove 7, wherein the recesses 8 and 16 are arranged at the through opening 6 on the visible side pointing towards the push fan 2 in the installation state of the guide rail 5, and according to Figure 7 Compared to the dimensions in the cross-section of opening 6, it is widened in width.

[0087] according to Figure 5 The actuator 12, together with its lead screw 13, can be moved horizontally guided by the toothed segments 11 of the rack element 33, allowing the push sash 2 to move automatically horizontally relative to the door / window frame 4 using simple devices. Therefore, according to... Figure 4 The toothed segments 11 are movably engaged by the first recess 8 in a manner constructed in the same way in terms of length L and design, according to... Figure 7 and Figure 13 In the profile groove 7. By according to Figure 12 The profile groove 7 has an undercut in the cross-section of the guide rail 5, and all components of the drive device 1 are guided to sit on the two connecting bars 36, 36' of the profile groove 7 in a way that reliably prevents them from falling out, so as to allow for possible movement. Figure 3 and Figure 4A toothed segment 11 is form-locked to the lead screw 13 of the actuator 12 before engaging with the profile groove 7. When using the existing toothed segment 11, the actuator 12 is able to engage with... Figure 10 The toothed segment 11 is inserted into the first recess 8 in a locking connection, so that the toothed segment 11 can realize the mounting of the driver 12 in the guide rail 5 by means of a correspondingly fixed seat, just as all other components 9, 11, 14 and 15 of the drive device 1 are inserted into the recesses 8 and 16 and are held in a rear-locked position in the guide rail 5 to be movable. Figure 11 and Figure 12 The connecting bars 36 and 36', which define the narrowing area of ​​the opening 6 in the cross-section of the profile groove 7 with guide rail 5, utilize support portions to help maintain the verticality of all components of the drive device 1 arranged in the guide rail 1. Furthermore, the connecting bars 36 and 36' are designed as guide surfaces for positioning the components of the drive device 1.

[0088] according to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connection between the toothed segment 11 and the driver 12 is achieved through a locking mechanism between the slide 37 arranged on the driver 12, the receiving portion on the toothed segment 11, and the lead screw 13 of the driver 12 and the tooth surface 20 on the toothed segment 11. For this purpose, the toothed segment 11 has protrusions of the tooth surface 20 in the direction of the fan-side component of the driver 12. These protrusions, when effectively connected with the lead screw 12, convert rotational motion into translational motion, so that the movable fan 2 moves in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 5. Furthermore, according to... Figure 11 The toothed segment 11 has a T-shaped guide groove 38 formed on its inner side in its cross-section and longitudinal extension. The slide 37 of the actuator 12 is movably embedded into the guide groove through the opening 6 from behind, in a form-locking connection. By utilizing the form-locking between the slide 37 of the actuator 12 and the guide groove 38 of the toothed segment 11, the component of the drive device 1 arranged on the door / window frame 4 and the component fixed on the movable sash 2 are driven and coupled in a movably held manner.

[0089] Therefore, according to Figure 3 The slide 37 is fixedly supported in the actuator 12 and thus in the housing 35. The slide 37, prevented from rotating within the housing 35, is able to travel along the guide rail 5 during the movable movement of the sash 2 relative to the door / window frame 4. For this purpose, the lead screw 13 is rotatably connected to the rack element 33 and therefore to the individual toothed segments 11.

[0090] Based on a large number of, in accordance with Figure 5 Preferably constructed identically over length L according to Figure 9 The tooth segment 11 is determined according to Figure 7The length of the first recess 8 is determined by the relationship between the length and number of toothed segments 11. Thus, the widened first recess 8 is constructed to be smaller in length compared to the length of the guide rail 5, ensuring that the stability of the guide rail 5 remains unaffected. Furthermore, the toothed segments 11 can be easily installed into the guide rail 5 through simple manipulation of length L. The number of toothed segments 11 in the guide rail 5 is determined by the length of the guide rail 5, which is related to the length of the window or door frame. Similarly, the number of toothed segments 11 can be determined by the opening width of the movable sliding sash 2. The required number of toothed segments 11 is determined before installation based on the dimensions of the window or door 3 configuration. Similarly, the guide rail 5 is adapted to the window or door 3 in its length. Furthermore, according to... Figure 7 and Figure 10 The recesses 8 and 16 are pre-formed in the side of the opening 6 within the guide rail 5 in accordance with the length of the guide rail 5. Therefore, mispositioning of the drive unit 1 within the guide rail 5 will not occur.

[0091] according to Figure 9 All the toothed segments 11 of the rack element 33 can engage with the widened first recess 8 without a predetermined installation orientation. This is achieved by... Figure 3 This is achieved through the design of the tooth surface 20 of the tooth segment 11, and on the other hand, through the relative arrangement of the tooth segment 11 according to... Figure 11 The implementation achieves this by adapting the cross-sectional shape of the profile groove 7 and the opening 6 of the guide rail 5, wherein the toothed segment 11 can only be movably engaged from the rear into the profile groove 7 with the visible tooth surface 20 pointing towards the push fan 2. Therefore, incorrect installation is eliminated.

[0092] Furthermore, at least one filler 14, preferably two filler 14 in the described variant, according to Figure 9 and Figure 13 In order to fine-tune the preset length of the drive unit 1 in the guide rail 5, by... Figure 7 The first recess 8 is inserted into the profile groove 7, and is moved in a manner that engages from behind in order to reliably retain it in the profile groove 7. According to Figure 13 The length of the infill 14 is determined by the length of the drive unit 1 in the guide rail 5 (which reflects a controllable dimension corresponding to the length of the window or door 3 and / or the opening width of the sliding sash 2). The length of the infill 14 varies depending on the length of the window or door 3 and / or the opening width of the sliding sash 2, but conventional components for the window or door 3 are prefabricated and accordingly installable.

[0093] According to Figure 6 The loading contact 15 is loaded according to Figure 7 The second recess 16, widened at the opening 6, of the guide rail 5 is inserted and then, in order to load the contact 15, is placed according to... Figure 8The guide rail 5 moves in a rear-locking manner within the profile groove 7. In a preferred practical design, the filling contact 15 is fixed during movement within the profile groove 7 to ensure no further movement. With the filling contact 15 fixed in the profile groove 7, all components of the drive unit 1 arranged in the profile groove 7 of the guide rail 5 move in the opposite direction according to... Figure 13 The first movable directional position of the first end 17 of the drive device 1 is fixed in accordance with the law.

[0094] To achieve simple power supply transmission, according to step a6), according to Figure 1 and Figure 8 As the filling contact 15 is placed into the profile groove 7 of the guide rail 5, the control line and / or wire 22 of the filling contact 15 is guided through the profile groove 7 against the direction of the drive device 1 through the door and window frame 4 to the coupled power grid / power supply 24 at the outside 23 of the window or door 3.

[0095] According to the guide rail 5 which can be mounted Figure 1 The cover rail 25, which completely covers the opening 6 of the profile groove 7, extends from the second end 27 to the first component and the first end 17 of the drive unit 1 in the unused area of ​​the component of the guide rail 5. Simultaneously, the control lines and / or wires 22 for power supply are protected by the cover rail. The cover rail 25 is pressed into the guide rail 5 by means of a locking function. Other form-locking or force-locking fixing variations of the cover rail 25 are also conceivable.

[0096] In order to fix the loading contact 15 according to Figure 8 In the profile groove 7 of the guide rail 5, according to step a7), the filling contact 15 establishes a form-locking connection with the guide rail 5. For this purpose, the pin 28 arranged on the filling contact 15 is connected to the receiving portion 30 arranged in the opening 6 of the opposite guide surface 29, wherein the filling contact 15 and the pin 28 move in the receiving portion 30, occupy a rear-locked and form-locked position in the profile groove 7, and occupy a position restricted in the direction along the second end 27 of the guide rail by means of the stop in the receiving portion 30.

[0097] When the toothed segments 11 are arranged without gaps and immovably in the profile grooves 7 of the guide rail 5 in a row-like configuration, the drive 12 can operate in a driven manner without frictional resistance by utilizing the connection of the toothed segments 11. According to the invention, this is further achieved by the following method steps: resting on all the components of the drive device 1 according to... Figure 13 The fixing element 9 is pressed without gap in the profile groove 7 of the guide rail 5 in the opposite direction of the second movable direction of the second end 18 of the drive device 1. According to step a8), the fixing element is pressed according to Figure 14aFormed by two identical clamping members 31 and 31', these two clamping members are pushed together along the direction of the components onto all the components in the profile groove 7 of the guide rail 5 of the drive device 1. A second clamping member 31' is arranged relative to the free end 10 of the guide rail 5 and away from the components of the drive device 1. Figure 14a It is clamped and secured in the tool insertion port 32' using the tool shown. Then, according to... Figure 14b Another tool shown, preferably a slotted screwdriver, is rotatably engaged between clamping members 31, 31', and causes the first movable clamping member 31 assigned to the component to rotate according to the rotation of the screwdriver. Figure 14c Contact pressure is applied to the components of the drive device 1 by forcibly moving them along the directions of components 11, 12, 14, and 15, and correspondingly in the tensioned position by means of... Figure 14c The tool shown is engaged and fixed in the tool insert 32. Therefore, the second clamping member 31' is loosened and moved along the direction of the position abutting the first clamping member 31, and the tool in the tool insert 32' is clamped and fixed by operation. The second clamping member 31' acts as a further safety device, working together with the first clamping member 31 to prevent undesirable movement of the drive unit 1 in the guide rail 5.

[0098] All components 9, 11, 14, and 15, together with the drive unit 1's actuator 12, are supported in the installed state according to... Figure 13 In the guide rail 5, and in the profile groove 7 of the guide rail 5, all the components 9, 11, 12, 14 and 15 of the drive device 1 are pressed tightly and fixed without gaps in the profile groove 7 of the guide rail 5, so as to prevent undesirable movement.

[0099] By means of the method steps according to the present invention, a selectable arrangement of the drive device 1 on the window or door 3 is achieved. Figure 13 These steps are implemented by fixing the drive unit 1 in the guide rail 5 in a simple manner before installing the guide rail 5 onto the window or door 3, and then force-locking it together with the guide rail 5 onto the upper horizontal beam 19 of the door or window frame 4, preferably by means of fixing bolts not shown and by means of a pre-set guide surface 29 on the guide rail 5. Figure 7 and Figure 10 The hole 39, or by utilizing the horizontal beam 19 already arranged on the upper part of the window or door frame 4 of the window or door 3 according to Figure 2 The guide rail 5, by means of the method steps according to the invention, implements the components of the drive device 1 into the guide rail 5, so as to generate the connection between the door / window frame 4 and the movable sash 2 by a simple means through the drive 12 movable by the motor on the door / window frame 4 and in the guide rail 5. Figure 1The drive 12 can be easily and cost-effectively fixed in the receiving groove 34 of the horizontal beam 67 on the upper part of the push fan 2 to prevent movement.

[0100] By according to Figure 1 The actuator 12 establishes the coupling of the drive unit 1 from the window frame 4 to the sliding sash 2, realizing the transfer of the drive assembly for moving the sash 2 of the window or door 3. A fixed component (not shown) arranged on the moving sash 2, having guiding characteristics, such as roller guides in the guide rails 5 of the window frame 4, holds the sliding sash 2 in a movable position relative to the window frame 4 between the upper horizontal beam 67 of the sliding sash 2 and the horizontal beam 19 of the window or door 3 window frame 4, wherein the movable lower position is achieved by a driving element 65 on the lower horizontal beam 63 of the sliding sash 3 and a slide rail 64 on the lower horizontal beam 69 of the window frame 4.
