Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a sectional door with an integrated revolving door, with a structure of the sectional door leaf and the revolving door consisting of identical sectional elements, each of which is rotatably connected to one another, wherein the sectional elements are provided with guide rollers on their lateral edges which engage in stationary guide arrangements.
[0002] DE 20 2006 003 330 U1 discloses a sectional door with a vertically opening door leaf and a wicket door. The sectional door leaf consists of panels hinged together along its width and includes a wicket door with a door leaf attached by hinges to each of these panels. The door leaf consists of panel sections extending in the same width and hinged together, which are flush with the panels of the door leaf. The panels of the door leaf have frame elements at their ends that define the opening of the wicket door. In the closed position of the door leaf, these frame elements form a door frame enclosing the opening. The panel elements of the door leaf have corresponding frame elements at their ends to form a door frame. Furthermore, the door frame and the door frame have frame webs resting on the front surfaces of the panels and the panel elements.which, in the closed position of the wicket door, lie in the plane of the front of the door leaf or are adjacent to it, with the pivot axes of the hinges for pivoting the door leaf being designed in the plane of the front of the door leaf and arranged inside the door leaf. In the design of this sectional door, two identical frame elements were used for the wicket door and the door leaf.
[0003] A revolving door extends over several sections and, as described, is held in a frame. The revolving door is sealed with a simple, continuous gasket. Revolving doors in gate leaves are not entirely without their challenges in their design, as they interrupt the sections and thus alter the static load-bearing capacity of the gate leaf.
[0004] The object of the invention is to provide the operational safety for a sectional door with an integrated revolving door in such a way that its performance characteristics, such as permanent water tightness, resistance to wind loads, high thermal resistance and airtightness, are guaranteed in addition to safe opening and passage through the revolving door.
[0005] The object of the invention is achieved by the features of claim 1. The dependent claims following claim 1 describe a further embodiment of the inventive concept.
[0006] Increasing the operational reliability of sectional doors with integrated swing doors primarily involves ensuring a watertight seal while simultaneously providing lasting resistance to wind loads. Watertightness is particularly problematic because gaps exist between the door leaf sections and those of the swing door. These gaps are sealed by multiple sealing devices of various designs, ensuring absolute tightness between the sectional door sections and the gaps when the swing door is closed. This watertightness is achieved through a combination of operational reliability measures, including the use of vertical lateral seals on the swing door and sectional door sections, each with different sealing profiles.The swing door has an internal seal, while the corresponding sections of the sectional door panels have two seals to seal the area between the swing door and the sectional door panel. To achieve a very secure external seal, both the swing door's sealing element and the sectional door's sealing element are positioned facing the exterior. A sealing leg presses against these sealing elements, each of which has a protruding elastic portion, creating a seal when the swing door is closed. Simultaneously, an additional sealing element is inserted between the vertical edge of the swing door and the sectional door panel of the adjacent door leaf. This additional sealing element includes a movable, protruding stop leg that presses against a portion of the swing door's end panel wall on the building's interior side, creating a seal.
[0007] Because the horizontally aligned section elements are interrupted by the design of a revolving door, an additional sealing element is inserted on the outside between the ends of the revolving door and the sectional door. This sealing element is pressed against the outer surfaces of the section elements by projecting legs of both the revolving door and sectional door ends.
[0008] The seal located in the vertical area between the passage revolving door and the section elements of the sectional door can also be implemented in the same design on the top and in the area of the passage revolving door.
[0009] This design does not, however, completely prevent moisture ingress in the area of the revolving door, as there is an external stop seal on the underside of the revolving door that rests against an existing bottom-side sealing element. Furthermore, there is another seal on the inside between the horizontal lower edge of the revolving door and the horizontally formed sealing element.
[0010] The aforementioned combination of safety features against penetrating moisture also provides protection against wind permeability and heat exchange from the inside to the outside or vice versa.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the vertical ends of the revolving door and the sectional door leaf are made of lightweight metal profiles. In another preferred embodiment, such profiles can also be thermally broken to prevent thermal bridges in this area. The sectional elements, which consist of two spaced-apart surface sheets, are filled with insulating foam between them.
[0012] To reduce the variety of different sealing elements or profile designs for the vertical closures, the same profile with a projecting end leg is used on both the secondary closing edge and the main closing edge of the swing door.
[0013] In a conventional design of hinges or straps between a swing door and a sectional door, such use would not be possible because it would obstruct the opening of the swing door. For this reason, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, concealed hinges with a projecting and cranked swing-out bracket are used between the swing door and between the sectional elements of the sectional door. This swing-out bracket prevents a collision between the projecting end leg in the area of the secondary closing edge and the adjacent sectional element when the swing door is opened.
[0014] Since the manufacturing of sectional doors in general, and especially those with swing doors, is subject to large tolerances, the hinges have been designed so that the swing arm between its attachment to the swing door and its pivot point within the vertical locking mechanism is adjustable. This stepless connection allows for the compensation of any manufacturing tolerances.
[0015] The invention is illustrated in possible, different embodiments in the drawings as follows: Fig. 1 A partial view of a sectional door, consisting of a section of a revolving door with sections of a sectional door leaf arranged on both sides of it; Fig. 2 a detailed view of a bottom end element with a lower vertical end of the passage revolving door; Fig. 3 a sectional view through an end area of the revolving door, as well as the door leaf of the sectional door; Fig. 4 like Fig. 3, however, in an open position of the revolving door in the area of a hinge design; Fig. 5 a single representation of a vertical end element of the passage revolving door; Fig. 6 a perspective view of a vertical end of a section element of the section door leaf; Fig. 7 like Fig. 6, but from a different perspective; Fig. 8 a perspective single view of a used band between the entrance revolving door and the sectional door leaf; Fig. 9 a perspective representation in the area of a band arrangement according to Fig. 8 between the sectional door leaf and the part of the revolving door; Fig. 10 another embodiment of the lower end of the sectional door.
[0016] In the Fig. Figure 1 shows a partial view of a sectional door 1, a swing door with lateral section elements 13. A section element 12 of the same design is shown flush between the section elements 13, serving as the door leaf for the swing door. Because the section elements 12 and 13 are pivotally connected to each other and are therefore arranged one above the other in the closed position of the sectional door, they have a section end cap 25 on their upper surface. Both the section elements 12 and 13 have the same cross-sectional structure, consisting of an insulating layer between two outer sheets. This necessitates the arrangement of vertical end caps 21 and 22 on the sides in the area of the swing door. The end caps 21 and 22 are attached at least to the surface of the section elements 12 and 13, preferably facing the interior of the building 29.
[0017] The Fig. Figure 3 shows a horizontal section through the revolving door and a lateral section element 13 with the terminations 21, 22 formed in the space between, whereby only one of the two gaps between the section elements 12 and 13 is shown. The revolving door has terminations 22 on its two vertical sides, which are connected to these via contact legs 30. Opposite the vertical termination 22, also extending vertically in the vertical area of the section element 13, is the termination 21, which has a contact leg 31 that is attached to the inner surface of the section element 13.
[0018] An exemplary training program for the 22nd degree is given by the Fig. 5 again. The termination 22 consists of the mounting leg 30, which is connected to the interior 29 of the building with a force-fit and form-fit connection to the surface of the section element 12. At a right angle to the mounting leg 30, a spacer leg 40 is provided, which serves for contact with the vertical side of the section element 12. Parallel to the spacer leg 40, a second spacer leg 32 is formed such that an open, continuous shaft 33 is present between the spacer legs 32 and 40, extending from top to bottom. Towards the outside of the gate leaf, a projecting termination leg 71 extends from the end of the spacer leg 40 at an angle of essentially 90°. Connecting the spacer leg 40 and the spacer leg 32, a projecting termination leg 28 extends in the opposite direction. The projecting end leg 28 has a sealing wall 34 on its inside.In the end area of the distance leg 32, the shaft 33 with a sealing receiving channel 19 is formed between the sealing wall 34.
[0019] The cross-section of the end 21, in a perspective view, is shown by the Fig. 6 again. Starting from the stop leg 31, which is connected to the section element 13 on the inside in a force-fit and form-fit manner, a spacer leg 42 is also formed. At the end of the spacer leg 42, a projecting end leg 20 is formed with a distance to the surface of the section element 13. At the end 21, a spacer leg 32 also runs parallel to the spacer leg 42, so that the end 21 also has a continuous shaft. At the beginning of the spacer leg 32, a sealing channel 19 is formed on the inside of the end 21, the opening area of which is directed towards the sealing wall 34.
[0020] The aforementioned statements 21 and 22 are in their function as Fig. Figure 3 shows the assembled state in the sectional view. On the left side is the end cap 22 of the passageway revolving door. Between the end cap 22 with the projecting end leg 71 and the outer surface 24 of the section element 12, there is sufficient space to accommodate a section seal 15. To ensure effective water management, the area between the vertical end cap 22 and the outer surface 24, including its gaps, is reliably sealed according to the invention. A sealing profile 58 with a sealing foot 18 is also provided in the seal receiving channel 19 of the end cap 22, extending over the entire length of the end cap 22.The sealing profile 58 has a contact leg 38 which on the one hand rests against the sealing wall 34 of the projecting end leg 28 and with its sealing end 23 securely closes the gap between the end of the end leg 28 and the sealing leg 41 of the end 21.
[0021] On the opposite side of the termination 22, the vertical termination 21 is attached to the end face of the section element 13 via the mounting leg 31 on the side facing the interior of the building 29. A section seal 15 is also formed on the outer side 24 of the termination 21 between the projecting termination leg 20 and the outer side 24 of the section element 13, extending over the entire vertical extent of the section element 13. Furthermore, a sealing profile is shown engaging in a sealing channel 69 with its sealing foot 18. This sealing profile has a free leg 60 on its outer side, which also rests against the sealing wall 34 when the revolving door is closed.Thus, on the outside of the sectional door 1 with the passage swing door, virtually four sealing elements have been installed in the area of the existing gaps between the door leaf and the passage swing door in order to achieve a secure sealing of the gaps.
[0022] To achieve an even more effective seal of the gaps against drafts or the like, a further sealing profile 59 with its sealing base 18 is inserted between the swing door and the adjoining sectional element 13 in the sealing channel 70. Outside the sealing channel 70, the sealing profile 59 has a free stop leg 26. The stop leg 26 rests against an outer wall of the closure 22 in the form of a stop 27. Thus, it can be stated that sealing arrangements have been implemented both on the exterior of the sectional door 1 with the swing door and on the interior of the building 29.The aforementioned design of the sealing of the exterior to the interior of the passage revolving door between the section elements 13 will preferably also be implemented in the same way on the upper horizontal side between the passage revolving door and the section element located above it.
[0023] In the lower end area of the revolving door, the section element 12 has a sealing profile 10, which is also provided with sealing elements on its underside. A stop seal 5, with a sealing foot 7 and a base leg 8, is inserted into the sealing receptacle 35 on the outside side. This stop seal has a lowered leg 9 that essentially rests against a bottom-side sealing element 2. A cavity 6 is provided between the lowered leg 9 and an inner leg, thus ensuring a secure fit against the sealing element 2 at all times. On the inside, the sealing profile 10 has a sealing receptacle 36 into which a sealing seal 11 penetrates with its foot, while a leg 4 rests against an upper surface of the sealing element 2. The upper surface of the sealing element 2 can also be fitted with a reinforcing insert 17 within recesses 37 inside the sealing element 2.This shows the . Fig. 2, that the revolving door is also securely sealed at the lower horizontal end by two sealing elements 5, 11. Furthermore, the end element 2 can have a contact seal 3 on its underside, which comes into contact with a floor area (not shown) when the sectional door 1 is closed, thus ensuring a secure seal for the entire sectional door 1.
[0024] In a further preferred embodiment, it is possible that no end element 2 is arranged on the underside of the swing door, but rather a continuous frame of the sectional element 13 exists. In this embodiment, a profile is arranged on the underside of the sectional element 13, which extends over the entire width of the sectional door 1. This profile is attached to the sectional element 13 by a mounting leg 55. The profile has a sealing receptacle 57 on its underside, in which a lower bottom seal 54 with a sealing foot 53 is received. The bottom seal 54 extends over the entire width of the sectional element 13. The bottom seal 54 has a support lip 56 on its underside. This makes it clear that any water ingress from the outside into the interior of the building 29 is thus virtually completely prevented.
[0025] To achieve a greater reduction in the heat transfer coefficient, a thermal break can be implemented between the terminations 21, 22, which are designed, for example, as aluminum profiles. In this case, the hollow profiles have a hard intermediate section made of insulating material between the outer and inner areas in the region of the spacer legs 32 and 42.
[0026] To ensure that the swing door is completely sealed against water ingress from the outside when closed, identical end caps 22 are used on each side of the swing door. This is particularly important with regard to the laterally projecting end caps 28 and the sealing profiles 58 and 59 that interact with them. Because the projecting end cap 28 is present on the side where the hinges 45 are attached, it is necessary that the hinges 45 be designed in such a way that the end cap 28 does not warp when the swing door is opened at the secondary closing edge. This embodiment can be particularly advantageous for the Fig. 4 can be taken from the illustration, which shows a partial opening of the revolving door with hinge 45 attached to the end 21.
[0027] In a perspective single view according to Fig. Figure 8 shows, for example, such a band 45. This band essentially consists of two corresponding parts: a mounting flange 47 and a swivel bracket 64. The swivel bracket 64 is mounted via a pivot point 50 located in an inset 46 of the band 45. The pivot point 50 is mounted in an insert 52, which is inserted into a band receptacle 61 in the end piece 21. The inset 46 is secured by angled sections 49 with stop bores 68 on the insert 52. The mounting flange 47 has connecting bores 48 for attachment to the end piece 22. The mounting flange 47 is also infinitely adjustable to the swivel bracket 64. For this purpose, the mounting flange 47 has an angled mounting leg 62 that abuts a mounting leg 63 of the swivel bracket 64.Within the mounting leg 63 is a slot 65 into which adjusting screws 66 engage, which are screwed into a thread (not shown) in the mounting leg 62. After precise adjustment, i.e., the relative position of the mounting legs 62 and 63 to each other, has been achieved, this position is then fixed by locking screws 67.
[0028] One possible use of the version of the band 45 is in an open position of the revolving door of the Fig. 9 can be removed. Within the end 21, the band receptacle 14, 61 has been milled out in the spacer leg 32. The band 45 is fastened via bores 43.
[0029] As the exemplary embodiment illustrates, such a combination of a sectional door 1 with a revolving door is permanently sealed against water masses from outside the sectional door 1 due to the design features used, while resistance to wind loads is also reliably absorbed because gaps between the door leaf and the revolving door are securely closed.
