Description

[0001] The invention relates to window opening mechanisms, in particular a push-drive for opening and closing a window with a push-drive (S), in particular a chain, and a circuit board for the push-drive according to the invention.

[0002] Window opening mechanisms come in various designs and are used to open and close window sashes. A typical window opening mechanism includes a push element connected to a window sash to move it. An example of a push element is a (push) chain that is moved by a chain drive.

[0003] A thrust drive with a drive housing, in particular for receiving a guide and a drive, in particular a drive motor, of the thrust means, and with a printed circuit board, in particular for controlling and / or supplying power to the thrust drive, is known from the prior art.

[0004] A printed circuit board (PCB) can be a carrier for electronic components. A PCB can serve for mechanical fastening and electrical connection. PCBs can consist of electrically insulating material with conductive traces adhered to it. The PCB can include a control unit for controlling the thrust drive.

[0005] The known circuit boards require complex assembly of the circuit board on the one hand and electrical connections to the drive housing on the other, and complex wiring to connect the thrust drive, in particular the circuit board and / or the drive, to an external power supply and / or to an external control interface.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved thrust drive and an improved circuit board that enable simple, and preferably essentially tool-free, assembly while maintaining high stability of the thrust drive in the assembled state.

[0007] The invention solves this problem with the features of the thrust drive according to claim 1 and the circuit board according to claim 29.

[0008] The push-drive mechanism according to the invention comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) with a main PCB section and at least one (separate) secondary PCB section. The PCB is preferably a pre-assembled module in which the main PCB section and the secondary PCB section are connected to each other via a flexible PCB connection section. The connection via the flexible PCB connection section is preferably permanent. The connection via the flexible PCB connection section is preferably non-removable. The connection via the flexible PCB connection section is preferably connector-free. A control unit for controlling the push-drive mechanism, in particular a drive motor, is preferably arranged on the main PCB section.The circuit board subsection preferably includes a connection for (electrical) connection to an external object, in particular for (electrical) connection to an external power supply and / or an external control interface. The circuit board main section and the circuit board subsection can be positioned and mechanically secured during assembly on the drive housing by insertion into a main opening and a secondary opening, respectively, in a particularly simple manner, especially without the need to establish a separate electrical connection between the circuit board main section and the circuit board subsection. This avoids contact errors and simplifies the assembly process.

[0009] The main section of the printed circuit board (PCB) can span a main plane (HE) when assembled. The secondary section (220) can span a (separate) secondary plane (NE). The main plane and the secondary plane can be aligned at a predetermined angle to each other when assembled. In particular, the secondary plane can be oriented perpendicular to the main plane. This allows the connection on the secondary plane to be positioned in a desired location that enables the electrical connection of the external component. The desired location can be defined by a predetermined mounting angle. Alternatively, the secondary section of the PCB can be arranged at a different angle, particularly a disassembly angle, before assembly and / or during maintenance. This significantly simplifies the manufacturing of the PCB or PCB module. Furthermore, the PCB requires minimal storage space.During maintenance work, the circuit board side section is preferably connected to the circuit board main section in a way that prevents loss.

[0010] The main section of the printed circuit board, in particular the main plane (HE), and the secondary section of the printed circuit board, in particular the secondary plane (NE), can be arranged at an angle (W).

[0011] The angle (W) can be variable, preferably without tools. For example, the main section of the printed circuit board, in particular the main plane (HE), and the secondary section of the printed circuit board, in particular the secondary plane (NE), can be bent relative to each other manually by the assembler. For example, the printed circuit board can be made of a flexible, bendable material. The variable angle (W) can advantageously be used by the assembler to adapt the shape of the printed circuit board to the shape of the drive housing, in particular manually and / or without tools, thereby simplifying assembly.

[0012] The angle (W) can be varied towards a disassembly angle (DW) and / or towards an assembly angle (MW).

[0013] The disassembly angle (DW) can be a straight angle. It can be essentially 0° (or 180°) so that the main PCB section, in particular the main plane (HE), and the secondary PCB section, in particular the secondary plane (NE), are arranged essentially parallel to each other. During the manufacture of the PCB or PCB module, the main PCB section and the secondary PCB section can be assembled together from a common direction, in particular in a direction normal to the main plane. For example, the PCB, in particular the main PCB section and the secondary PCB section, can be designed as a flat, planar body. Because the main PCB section and the secondary PCB section are arranged essentially parallel in a single plane at the disassembly angle (DW), space can be saved when storing the PCB in its disassembled state.Many flat and planar printed circuit board bodies can be stored while requiring little storage space.

[0014] The mounting angle (MW) can be essentially 90°, so that the main PCB section, in particular the main plane (HE), and the secondary PCB section, in particular the secondary plane (NE), are arranged essentially at right angles to each other.

[0015] The drive housing may include a main opening (HO). The main opening (HO) may be fully or partially concealed by the main circuit board section. The main opening may be located on one of the longitudinal sides of the drive housing.

[0016] The drive housing may include a secondary opening (NO). The secondary opening (NO) may be completely or partially concealed by the circuit board secondary section. The secondary opening may be located at an end face of the drive housing. The main opening is preferably significantly larger than the secondary opening.

[0017] The main opening (HO) and the secondary opening (NO) can be defined by several walls of the drive housing. The main opening and the secondary opening can be arranged at an angle to each other, in particular at right angles. The variability of the angle (W) can be advantageously used by the assembler to adapt the shape of the printed circuit board to the shape of the drive housing, in order to cover the main opening (HO) with the main section of the printed circuit board and the secondary opening (NO) with the secondary section of the printed circuit board.

[0018] The main section of the printed circuit board can be detachably connected, in particular detachably without tools, to the drive housing, in particular at the main opening (HO) of the drive housing, preferably with a first connector, in particular with a first plug connector.

[0019] The circuit board auxiliary section can be detachably connected, in particular detachably without tools, to the drive housing, in particular at the auxiliary opening (NO) of the drive housing, preferably with a second connector, in particular with a second connector.

[0020] Consequently, the main and secondary circuit board sections can be connected to the drive housing separately, particularly without tools. The technician can first connect the main circuit board section to the drive housing at the main opening to partially or completely cover the main opening. The technician can then connect the secondary circuit board section to the drive housing at the secondary opening to partially or completely cover the secondary opening. If necessary for later maintenance, the technician can disconnect the secondary circuit board section from the drive housing again without tools using the plug-in connection, without having to disconnect the main circuit board section from the drive housing. The interior of the push-button drive can thus be accessed by the technician without having to remove the entire push-button drive, and in particular the entire circuit board, from the drive housing.After disconnecting the connection between the PCB auxiliary section and the drive housing, the technician can manually adjust the angle (W), particularly towards the disassembly angle (DW). The interior of the drive housing is accessible via the auxiliary opening. Similarly, the connection between the PCB main section and the drive housing can be disconnected without disconnecting the connection between the PCB main section and the drive housing, thus allowing access to the drive housing via the main opening. Furthermore, the arrangement of the PCB main section and the PCB auxiliary section (or sections) absorbs tensile forces, especially during operation of the push-drive mechanism. The PCB main section and the PCB auxiliary section mutually support each other due to their angled arrangement, particularly at the mounting angle (MW).

[0021] The main section of the printed circuit board (PCB), in particular the main plane (H), and the secondary section, in particular the secondary plane (SP), can be connected by a PCB interconnect. The PCB interconnect can be flexibly deformable to allow for tool-free variation of the angle (W). For example, the PCB interconnect can be a flexible conductor, in particular a flexible conductor strip, especially a flexible cable strip. The conductor can be suitable for conducting an electric current between the main section of the PCB and the secondary section. The PCB interconnect can also be made of a flexible material, e.g., flexible plastic. Conductors for current transport can be arranged on or in the PCB interconnect.

[0022] By incorporating the PCB interconnect section, the main PCB section and the secondary PCB section can be variable in angle (W) without themselves needing to be flexibly formable. Consequently, manufacturing costs and the risk of PCB damage can be reduced. Only the PCB interconnect section should exhibit flexible formability to allow for the variation of the angle (W).

[0023] The thrust drive, in particular the printed circuit board (PCB), especially the main PCB section, can include a control unit for controlling the thrust drive. The PCB, especially the secondary PCB section, can include a connector for connecting the control unit to an external power supply and / or an external control interface. Consequently, the actuator housing can be pre-connected to the main PCB section by the installer. The installer can then perform further steps to mount the connector to the secondary PCB section. Separating the PCB into a main PCB section and a secondary PCB section facilitates the installation of the connector.

[0024] The aforementioned aspects can each be used individually or in combination to solve the problem. Further advantageous embodiments of the thrust drive and the circuit board according to the disclosure are disclosed in the dependent claims, figures, and the drawing description.

[0025] The Revelation is depicted in exemplary and schematic form in the drawings. They show: Fig. 1: a thrust drive according to disclosure (1) in perspective view with the drive housing (100) and the circuit board (200) in a non-connected state with angle (W) in mounting angle (MW) Fig. 2: a thrust drive (1) as disclosed in perspective view with the drive housing (100) and the circuit board (200) in a connected state Fig. 3a: a thrust means drive (1) as disclosed in a side view with the drive housing (100) and the circuit board (200) in a connected state Fig. 3b: a printed circuit board (200) as disclosed in a side view with angle (W) in disassembly angle (DW)

[0026] The Fig. 1, Fig. 2 to Fig. Figure 3 shows an exemplary embodiment of the push-means drive (1) and the circuit board (200) according to the disclosure. In the figures shown, a chain (in particular a push chain) can be used as a push means (S) by way of example, which can be driven by a chain drive as a window opener.

The embodiment shown can be combined with other types of thrust means and any type of window opener, e.g., linear drive, lifting spindle drive, etc. Any thrust means (S) that enable a translational pushing and pulling motion for opening and closing a window sash is suitable.

[0027] The Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. Figure 3a shows an exemplary push-means drive (1) according to the disclosure for opening and closing a window with a push means (S), in particular a chain.

[0028] The thrust means drive (1) comprises: - a drive housing (100), in particular for receiving a guide and a drive for the thrust means (S); and - a printed circuit board (200), in particular for controlling and / or supplying power to the thrust drive (1), the circuit board comprises (200): - a main circuit board section (210), and - at least one PCB subsection (220).

The drive housing (100) preferably comprises several snap-fit ​​receptacles for tool-free positioning of the printed circuit board (200), in particular, on the one hand, a snap-fit ​​receptacle for the main printed circuit board section (210) and / or, on the other hand, a snap-fit ​​receptacle for the secondary printed circuit board section (220). The drive housing (100) can include a thrust element deflection (110) for deflecting the thrust element (S), in particular for deflecting the thrust element (S) from the thrust element drive (1) towards the window. The thrust element drive (1), in particular the drive housing (100), can include a guide by which the thrust element (S) is guided within the thrust element drive (1).The thrust drive (1), in particular the drive housing (100), can include a drive, in particular a drive motor, which drives the thrust element (S). In the assembled state, the drive housing can be surrounded by a further, in particular tubular, protective housing (400). The drive housing (200) is preferably insertable into the protective housing (400) in a straight direction (x) along the (main) extent (E) of the preferably tubular protective housing (400). In the assembled state, the main printed circuit board section (210) and / or the main plane (HE) is preferably oriented along the extent (E) of the protective housing. In the assembled state, the (at least one) secondary printed circuit board section (220) is preferably oriented substantially transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the extent (E) of the protective housing (400). In the assembled state, the secondary printed circuit board section (220) preferably spans an end opening (401) of the protective housing (401).Particularly preferably, a first circuit board subsection (220) spans a (first) end opening (401) of the protective housing (400) and a second circuit board subsection (220') spans a second end opening, in particular an opposite end opening of the protective housing.

[0030] The drive housing (100) is preferably formed by several walls or has several walls (see Fig. 1) For example, the walls form an elongated cuboid body (see Fig. 1) The components of the thrust drive (1) can be accommodated within the walls. The drive housing (100) can include a main opening (HO). The drive housing (100) can include a secondary opening (NO). In the assembled state, the main opening (HO) is preferably enclosed within the protective housing (400). The at least one secondary opening (NO) is preferably aligned with an end opening (401) of the protective housing (400) in the assembled state. The secondary opening (NO) can be annularly enclosed by the end opening (401) of the protective housing (400).

[0031] In the embodiment shown in the figures, the drive housing (100) comprises a first secondary opening (NO) and a second secondary opening (NO') arranged on opposite sides of the cuboid drive housing (100). Preferably, the secondary opening (NO) or secondary openings (NO, NO') are the sides of the thrust drive (1), in particular the drive housing (100) and / or the protective housing (400), that are accessible laterally when installed on the window. These lateral secondary opening(s) can advantageously be accessible to the installer for maintenance work, for example by detaching the circuit board secondary section(s) (220, 220'). Furthermore, preferably at least one plug connector and / or plug (203) can be provided on the circuit board secondary section (220), which is intended for connecting an external component, in particular an externally supplied connector.The external component can be, for example, a cable or a control module. Preferably, the external component can be arranged, and in particular inserted, into an end opening (401) of the protective housing (400).

[0032] As illustrated in the figures, the main opening (HO) can be located on a side of the drive housing (100) that is perpendicular to the sides of the secondary opening(s) (NO). The side of the main opening (HO) can also be accessible to a technician when the drive is installed on the window, for example, by (possibly removing the protective housing 400 and) completely detaching the circuit board (200) or by detaching the main circuit board section (210). Alternatively, the push-button drive (1) can be mounted on the window such that the main opening (HO) faces the window side. In this case, accessibility via the secondary opening(s) (NO, NO') is even more important for maintenance work, facilitating the maintenance of the push-button drive (1) and simplifying installation.

[0033] The Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3a and Fig. Figure 3b shows an exemplary printed circuit board (200) according to the disclosure, in particular for controlling and / or supplying power to the thrust drive (1).

[0034] The main opening (HO) can be completely or partially covered by the main circuit board section (210). The secondary opening(s) (NO, NO') can be completely or partially covered by the secondary circuit board section(s) (220, 220'). As shown in the figures, the openings and the respective circuit board sections preferably have a complementary shape.

[0035] As shown in the exemplary embodiment illustrated in the figures, the push-drive mechanism (1) can comprise a (first) circuit board subsection (220) and a (second or) further circuit board subsection (220'). The circuit board main section (210) is preferably integrated with the at least one circuit board subsection (220, 220') to form a pre-assembled circuit board module. The circuit board main section (210) is preferably connected to the at least one circuit board subsection (220, 220') via a flexible circuit board connection section (230). Particularly preferably, the circuit board connection section (230) can be permanently and / or rigidly connected to the circuit board main section (210) on one side and to the (at least one) circuit board subsection (220, 220') on the other, in particular by soldering, gluing, or crimping. Alternatively, any other type of permanent connection is possible.The design as a pre-assembled circuit board module, and especially the fixed connection, facilitates particularly fast assembly of the thrust drive. In particular, the time-consuming positioning and closing of flat cable connections can be avoided.

[0036] The main section of the printed circuit board (210) can span one main plane (HE).

[0037] The secondary circuit board section (220) and the further secondary circuit board section (220') can each span a secondary plane (NE) and a further secondary plane (NE'). The secondary circuit board section (220) and the further secondary circuit board section (220') are preferably arranged on two opposite sides of the main circuit board section (210).

[0038] The main printed circuit board section (210), in particular the main plane (HE), and the secondary printed circuit board section (220, 220'), in particular the secondary plane (NE, NE'), can each be arranged at an angle (W, W'). The angle (W, W') can be variable, preferably without tools. The angle (W, W') preferably extends between, on the one hand, the planar extension, in particular the main plane (HE) of the main printed circuit board section (210), and, on the other hand, a preferably planar extension, in particular the secondary plane (NE) of the secondary printed circuit board section (220, 220').

[0039] The angle (W, W') can be variable. Preferably, the angle (W, W') can be variable within a range of at least 90°. The angle (W, W) can preferably be adjusted towards a first angle, in particular a disassembly angle (DW, DW') (see Fig. 3b) and / or, on the other hand, be variable towards a second angle, in particular towards a mounting angle (MW, MW') (see Fig. 1) The range of variation of the angle (W, W') can be equal to or greater than a range limited by the disassembly angle and the assembly angle.

[0040] As in Fig. As shown by way of example in Figure 3b, the disassembly angle (DW, DW') can be essentially a straight angle, in particular 0° (or 180°), so that the main circuit board section (210), in particular the main plane (HE), and the secondary circuit board section (220, 220'), in particular the secondary plane (NE, NE'), are arranged essentially parallel and / or aligned with each other. The first angle, in particular the disassembly angle (DW, DW'), can be an angle that exists before the circuit board, in particular the circuit board module, is mounted on the drive body. The second angle, in particular the mounting angle (MW, MW'), can be an angle that is created during the assembly of the thrust drive and / or exists in the assembled state.

[0041] As in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3a, the mounting angle (MW, MW') can be substantially 90°, so that the main PCB section (210), in particular the main plane (HE), and the secondary PCB section (220, 220'), in particular the secondary plane (NE, NE'), are arranged substantially at right angles to each other. Consequently, in the illustrated embodiment, the PCB / board module (100) can advantageously be used to cover both secondary openings (NO, NO') separately (during assembly). Both secondary openings (NO, NO') can be separately accessible for assembly and / or maintenance. Furthermore, in the assembled state, the PCB / board module (100) can provide a connection (202) and / or a plug (203) at at least one end opening (401) of the protective housing (400). Preferably, one connection (202, 202') and / or one plug (203, 203') are arranged on each of the circuit board side sections (220, 220') and thus on both end openings (401).These terminals (202, 202') and / or connectors (203, 203') are preferably electrically connected to the main circuit board section (220). Alternatively or additionally, a terminal (202) on a first circuit board subsection (220) is preferably connected to a terminal (202') on a second circuit board subsection (220'). Alternatively or additionally, a connector (203) on a first circuit board subsection (220) is preferably connected to a connector (203') on a second circuit board subsection (220'). The connection is preferably electrical. It can include a control connection and / or an operating current connection. The connection can support a series or parallel connection of several thrust actuators. The connection can support a cascade connection of several thrust actuators.

[0042] As further shown in the exemplary embodiment depicted in the figures, the push-drive mechanism (1) can comprise a printed circuit board interconnect section (230) and a further printed circuit board interconnect section (230'). The main printed circuit board section (210), in particular the main plane (HE), and the secondary printed circuit board section (220, 220'), in particular the secondary plane (NE, NE'), can be connected by the printed circuit board interconnect section (230, 230'). The printed circuit board interconnect section (230, 230') is preferably flexibly deformable for tool-free variation of the angle (W, W'). The printed circuit board interconnect section (230) and the further printed circuit board interconnect section (230') are preferably arranged on two opposite sides of the main printed circuit board section (210).

[0043] Further embodiments not shown, with additional circuit board sections and additional circuit board connection sections in alternative arrangements, can be implemented analogously with the push-mechanism drive (1) and the circuit board (200) according to the invention.

[0044] As illustrated by way of example in the figures, the main section of the printed circuit board (210) can be detachably connected, in particular detachably without tools, to the drive housing (100), especially at the main opening (HO) of the drive housing (100), preferably with a first (mechanical) connector (300), in particular with a first snap-in, clip-on, or plug connector (300'). A (mechanical) connector (300), in particular a snap-in, clip-on, or plug connector (300), can, in connection with this disclosure, be or provide a snap-in, pluggable, or clippable connection, for example, by inserting or clipping plastic components into one another. Alternative embodiments of a detachable (mechanical) connector (300) can also be combined with the push-drive mechanism (1) and the printed circuit board (200) according to the disclosure (e.g., magnetic connector, quick-release fastener, screw, bolt, thread).

[0045] As exemplified in the figures, the circuit board secondary section (220, 220') can be detachably connected, in particular detachably without tools, to the drive housing (100), in particular at the secondary opening (NO, NO') of the drive housing (100), preferably with a second connector (300), in particular with a second snap-in, clip or connector (300').

[0046] Advantageously, the circuit board side section (220, 220') can be detachably connected to the drive housing (100) by varying the angle (W, W') relative to the mounting angle (MW, MW'). As in Fig.As shown in Figure 1, the angle (W, W') relative to the mounting angle (MW, MW') can be varied before connecting the printed circuit board (200) to the drive housing (100). The entire printed circuit board (200) can then be connected to the drive housing (100) by detachably connecting the main section (210) and the secondary section (220, 220') to the drive housing (100). For this purpose, the secondary section (220, 220') can be detachably connected to the drive housing (100) by inserting and / or plugging the secondary section (220, 220') into the second connector (300').

[0047] In an alternative embodiment not shown, the printed circuit board (200) could first be connected to the drive housing (100) at the disassembly angle (DW) on the main printed circuit board section (210), particularly at the main opening (HO). Subsequently, the secondary printed circuit board section (220, 220') could be connected to the drive housing (100), particularly at the secondary opening (NO, NO'), by varying the angle (W, W') relative to the mounting angle (MW, MW'), for example, by pushing or clipping the secondary printed circuit board section (220, 220') into the second connector (300'). Before this variation of the angle (W, W') relative to the mounting angle (MW, MW'), the secondary openings (NO) are advantageously accessible to the installer for assembly or maintenance work.

[0048] The thrust drive (1), in particular the printed circuit board (200), in particular the main section of the printed circuit board (210), may include a control unit (201) for controlling the thrust drive (1) (not shown in the figures).

[0049] As illustrated in the figures, the circuit board subsection (220, 220') can include a connector (202) for connecting the control unit (201) to an external power supply and / or to an external control interface.

[0050] The thrust drive (1), in particular the printed circuit board (200), in particular the main section of the printed circuit board (210), preferably the control unit (201), can be connected to the external power supply and / or to the external control interface via an electrical line (205) (not shown in the figures).

[0051] As exemplified in the figures, the connection (202) can include a plug (203) for connecting the thrust drive (1), in particular the circuit board (200), in particular the circuit board main section (210), preferably the control unit (201), preferably the line (205), to the external power supply and / or to the external control interface.

[0052] As exemplified in the figures, the connection (202) can include a connection opening (204) for passing the line (205) and for connecting the thrust means drive (1), in particular the printed circuit board (200), in particular the main section of the printed circuit board (210), preferably the control unit (201), preferably the line (205), to the external power supply and / or to the external control interface.

[0053] By providing the connection (202) to the circuit board auxiliary section (220, 220'), the simplified assembly and accessibility of the circuit board auxiliary section (220, 220'), in particular through the variability of the angle (W, W'), can be advantageously used to simplify the wiring of the push-drive mechanism (1), in particular through easier access for the installer.

[0054] The conductor (205) can run through or along the PCB interconnect section (230, 230') between the PCB main section (210) and the PCB subsection (220, 220'). Consequently, the PCB main section (210) can be electrically connected to the PCB subsection (220, 220') for the transmission of load currents and / or data currents for control purposes.

[0055] Alternatively, the connection (202, 202') can be connected to other components of the thrust means drive (1), in particular to other components of the thrust means drive (1) included in the drive housing (100), such as the guide of the thrust means (S) and / or the drive, in particular the motor drive, of the thrust means (S).

[0056] Variations of the disclosure are possible in various ways. The features shown, described, or claimed for the respective embodiments can be combined, substituted, supplemented, or omitted in any way.

[0057] The disclosure further comprises an assembly method for providing a push-drive according to the disclosure (1), comprising at least the following steps: Providing a drive housing (100) of the push-drive, which preferably has a main opening (HO) on one longitudinal side and a secondary opening (NO, NO') on another side, in particular on an end face. Providing a printed circuit board (200), which is a pre-assembled circuit board module, wherein the printed circuit board (200) comprises a main circuit board section (210) and at least one secondary circuit board section (220, 220'), which are connected via a flexible circuit board connection section (230), in particular permanently and / or without connectors. Attaching, in particular without tools, the main circuit board section (210) to the main opening. Attaching, in particular without tools, the secondary circuit board section (220, 220') to the secondary opening (NO, NO').Preferably, during assembly, an angle (W, W') between the main circuit board section (210) and the secondary circuit board section (220, 220') is varied, in particular without tools.

[0058] The drive housing (200) can additionally be arranged in a preferably tubular protective housing (400), in particular by insertion through an end opening (401) of the protective housing.
