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 section elements, which are each connected to one another in a parallel manner and are rotatably movable, wherein the section elements are provided with guide rollers on their lateral edges, which engage in stationary guide arrangements.

[0002] A sectional door with a vertically opening door leaf and wicket door is disclosed in DE 20 2006 003 330 U1. The sectional door leaf consists of panels that are hinged together in its widthwise direction and with a wicket door with a door leaf that is hinged to each of these panels. The door leaf consists of panel sections that extend in the same widthwise direction and are hinged together in an articulated manner and are aligned with the panels of the door leaf. The panels of the door leaf have frame elements at their ends that delimit the opening of the wicket door, which, when the door leaf is closed, form a door frame that encloses the opening, and 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 that rest on the panels and the panel elements on their front sides.which, when the wicket door is closed, are in the plane of the front of the door leaf or adjacent to it, with the pivot axes of the hinges for connecting the door leaf in the plane of the front of the door leaf, which are 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. A revolving door extends over several sections and is held in a frame. The revolving door is sealed with a simple, circumferential seal. Revolving doors in door leaves are not entirely unproblematic in their design, as they interrupt the sections and thus change the static initial situation for the door leaf.

[0003] A gate with a gate leaf that is movable between a closed position and an open position and has a plurality of gate leaf elements that can be tilted relative to one another with respect to tilting axes that run parallel to one another is described in DE 20 2014 001 122 U1, a door that is integrated in the gate leaf and has a door leaf that can be pivoted about a pivot axis that runs approximately perpendicular to the tilting axes with respect to door leaf elements that are adjacent in the direction of the tilting axes, that is received in a recess in the gate leaf in its closed position, that is preferably arranged approximately in the plane of the gate leaf in the closed position and that has a number of door leaf elements that can be tilted relative to one another, and a frame that at least partially surrounds the door leaf at least in its closed position, wherein the frame has at least one frame segment that is attached to a gate leaf element and / or to the door leaf element and has two, three or more frame segments that are attached to the gate orDoor leaf thickness direction successive components, of which at least one is designed as an insulating element made of thermally insulating material, in particular plastic.

[0004] EP 1 280 393 A2 describes a door with a stabilizing arrangement comprising a threshold element that, in the closed position of the door leaf, rests on the bottom of the opening closed by the door leaf, forms the lower edge of a recess, and is attached to the door leaf elements, lying next to the recess in the direction of the tilt axes. Preferred features: The width of the threshold element is greater in a direction perpendicular to the door leaf plane in the closed position than the door leaf thickness in this direction.

[0005] The object of the invention is to provide the safety of use for a sectional door with integrated revolving door in such a way that its performance characteristics such as permanent watertightness, resistance to occurring wind loads, high thermal resistance and airtightness are guaranteed in addition to safe opening and use of the revolving door.

[0006] The object of the invention is solved by the features of claim 1. The subclaims following claim 1 represent a further embodiment of the inventive concept.

[0007] Increasing the operational safety of sectional doors with integrated revolving doors involves, in particular, ensuring watertightness while simultaneously providing long-term resistance to wind loads. Watertightness, in particular, poses major problems because gaps inevitably exist between the sections of the door leaf and those of the revolving door. These gaps are sealed according to the invention using multiple sealing devices of various designs, so that when the revolving door is closed, there is absolute tightness between the sections of the sectional door and the gaps. Watertightness is ensured by a combination of operational safety features. This is achieved by different sealing profiles in conjunction with lateral vertical closures on the sections of the revolving door and the sectional door. The revolving door has an internal seal.The counterparts of the sectional elements have two seals in the area between the revolving door and the sectional element. To ensure a highly secure exterior closure, both the sealing element of the revolving door and the sealing element of the sectional element are present facing the exterior. A sealing leg seals against these sealing elements, each of which has a protruding elastic part, when the revolving door is closed. At the same time, an additional sealing element is inserted between the vertical end of the revolving door and the sectional element of the adjacent door leaf. This sealing element includes a movable, protruding stop leg that seals against a portion of the wall of the revolving door's closing element facing the interior of the building.

[0008] Since the design of a revolving door interrupts the horizontally aligned section elements, an additional sealing element is inserted vertically on the outside between the closures 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 closures of the revolving door and the closures of the sectional door.

[0009] The seal located in the vertical area between the revolving door and the section elements of the sectional door can also be implemented in the same design on the top side and in the area of ​​the revolving door.

[0010] However, this design does not completely protect against moisture penetration in the area of ​​the revolving door. An external stop seal is located on the underside of the revolving door, which rests against a closing element arranged with the sectional element at least in the area of ​​the revolving door. On the inside of the revolving door, there is also an additional seal between the horizontal lower end of the revolving door and the horizontal closing element.

[0011] The above-described combination of safety features against moisture penetration also provides protection against wind permeability or heat exchange from the inside to the outside or vice versa.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the vertical closures of the revolving door and the sectional door leaf are made of light metal profiles. In a further preferred embodiment, it is of course also possible for such profile designs to be provided with a thermal break to prevent thermal or cold bridges from forming in this area. Vertical closures that extend across the entire cross-section of the sectional elements are interrupted. These interruptions in the closures are bridged by insulating bars that are connected to the existing closure parts in a force- and form-fitting manner, giving the closures a rigid structure. The sectional elements themselves are already thermally insulated, as they usually consist of two spaced-apart surface sheets with a core made of insulating foam.

[0013] To reduce the variety of different sealing elements and profile designs for the vertical closures, the same profile shape with a projecting end leg can be used on both the secondary closing edge and the primary closing edge of the revolving door. The sealing feet are essentially the same.

[0014] In a standard design of hinges or hinges between the revolving door and the sectional door leaf, such a use would not achieve the required sealing effect. For this reason, a preferred embodiment utilizes concealed hinges with a protruding and offset pivot bracket between the sectional elements of the revolving door and the sectional elements of the sectional door leaf. This pivot bracket prevents collision between the projecting end leg in the area of ​​the secondary closing edge and the adjacent sectional element when the revolving door is opened.

[0015] Since the manufacturing of sectional doors in general, and especially of revolving doors, is subject to large tolerances, the hinges are designed so that the swing-out bracket is adjustable between its attachment to the revolving door and its pivot point within the vertical closure. This stepless design allows any manufacturing tolerances to be compensated for.

[0016] The invention is illustrated in possible, different embodiments in the drawings as follows: Figure 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; Figure 2: A detailed view of a bottom closure element with a lower vertical closure of the revolving door; Figure 3: A sectional view through an end area of ​​the revolving door and the door leaf of the sectional door; Figure 4: As Figure 3 , but in an open position of the revolving door in the area of ​​a hinged version; Figure 5 a detailed view of a vertical closure element of the revolving door; Figure 6 a perspective view of a vertical closure of a section element of the sectional door leaf; Figure 7 as Figure 6, but from a different angle; Figure 8 a perspective view of a hinge used between the entrance revolving door and the sectional door leaf; Figure 9 a perspective view in the area of ​​a hinge arrangement according to Figure 8 , between the sectional door leaf and the part of the revolving door; Figure 10 shows another embodiment of the lower closure of the sectional door.

[0017] In the Figure 1A partial section of a sectional door 1 shows a revolving door with lateral section elements 13. Between the section elements 13, a section element 12 of the same design is shown, aligned, as the door leaf for the revolving door. Because the section elements 12, 13 are pivotally connected to one another and are therefore arranged one above the other in the closed position of the sectional door 1, they have a section closure 25 on their upper side. The section elements 12 and 13 have an identical cross-sectional structure, consisting of an insulating layer inserted between two outer sheets. This requires that a first vertical closure 21 and a second vertical closure 22 be arranged laterally in the area of ​​the revolving door.The vertical terminations 21, 22 are attached at least to the surface of the section elements 12, 13, preferably to an interior area 29 of the building.

[0018] The Figure 3 A horizontal section through the revolving door and a lateral section element 13 with the vertical closures 21, 22 arranged in a gap can be seen, whereby only one of the two gaps between the section elements 12 and 13 was shown. On the revolving door, the second closures 22 are connected on the two vertical sides via contact legs 30 on the inside of the section elements. Opposite the second vertical closure 22, also extending vertically in the vertical region of the section element 13, is the first closure 21, which has a contact leg 31 that is fastened to the inner surface of the section element 13.

[0019] An exemplary training of the second degree 22 is provided by the Figure 5again. The closure 22 consists of the contact leg 30, which is non-positively and positively connected to the surface of the sectional element 12 towards the interior area 29 of a building. At a right angle to the contact leg 30 there is a second spacer leg 40, which serves to contact the vertical cross-sectional side of the sectional element 12. A further spacer leg 32 runs at a distance and parallel to the second spacer leg 40. Between the spacer leg 32 and the second 40 there is an open shaft 33 which runs from top to bottom and is also used, for example, to drain any condensation to the outside of the building. At the end of the second spacer leg 40 there is a cantilevered closure leg 71 which extends essentially at an angle of 90° to the outside of the door leaf.Connecting the second spacer leg 40 and the spacer leg 32, there is also a projecting end leg 28 extending in an opposite direction to the end leg 71. The projecting end leg 28 has a sealing wall 34 on its inside. The end region of the spacer leg 32 has a seal receiving channel 19 formed between the sealing wall 34 and the shaft 33.

[0020] The cross-section of the first vertical end 21, in a perspective view, is shown in Figure 6again. Starting from the stop leg 31, which is connected to the inside of the sectional element 13 in a force-locking and form-locking manner, a first spacer leg 42 is formed. At the end of the first spacer leg 42, a projecting closing leg 20 is formed at a distance from the surface of the sectional element 13. In the first vertical closure 21, the further spacer leg 32 also runs parallel to the first spacer leg 42, so that the first vertical closure 21 also has a continuous shaft 16. At the beginning of the spacer leg 32, on the inside of the first vertical closure 21, a seal receiving channel 70 is formed. A further seal receiving channel 69 is in the region of the closure leg 20, the opening area of ​​which is directed towards the sealing wall 34. The spacer leg 32 has a sealing leg 41, angled in the outer end area, and the seal receiving channel 69 adjoins it.

[0021] The above-described first and second vertical closures 21, 22 are in their function in the Figure 3in its assembled state can be seen in the sectional view. On the left, the end area of ​​the revolving door with the main closing edge is shown. The second vertical end piece 22 is placed against the cross-sectional area of ​​the sectional element 12 and is attached via the support leg 30. There is enough air between the projecting end leg 71 of the second vertical end piece 22 and an outer side 24 of the sectional element 12 that a sectional seal 15 can be inserted. In order to implement successful water management, the area between the second vertical end piece 22 and the outer side 24 of the sectional element 12, including its gaps, is reliably sealed according to the invention. Such additional sealing against water ingress from outside the sectional door leaf has not existed to date. The use of the sectional seal 15 achieves very effective closure of these gaps.The structure of the sectional seal 15 is essentially determined by a first lateral arm 74 and a second lateral arm 75, as this is the only way to ensure effective surface conformation of the seal body. The first lateral arm 74 forms a seal outside the gap, while the second lateral arm 75 extends into the gap between the end legs 20, 71 and the outside of the respective sectional elements. The sectional seal 15 is held in place by a projection 73 on the connecting legs 20, 71, which engages a locking recess 72 in the sectional seal 15. This design allows the sectional seal 15 to be inserted laterally after the first and second vertical closures 21, 22 have been installed.

[0022] A sealing profile 58 is mounted in the seal receiving channel 19 of the second vertical closure 22 with a sealing base 18 over the entire length of the second vertical closure 22. The sealing profile 58 has a movable contact leg 38, which rests against the sealing wall 34 of the projecting closure leg 28 and, with its sealing end 23, securely closes the gap between the end of the closure leg 28 and the sealing leg 41 of the first vertical closure 21.

[0023] On the opposite side of the second vertical closure 22, the first vertical closure 21 is attached to the end face of the sectional element 13 via the contact leg 31 on the side facing the building interior 29. Toward the outer side 24 of the first vertical closure 21, a sectional seal 15 is also formed between the projecting end leg 20 and the outer side 24 of the sectional element 13, extending over the entire vertical extent of the sectional element 13. Furthermore, a sealing profile has been inserted into the seal receiving channel 69 via the sealing base 18. This sealing profile has a free leg 60 on the outside, which also rests against the sealing wall 34 when the revolving door is in the closed position.Thus, on the outside of the sectional door 1 with the revolving door, four sealing elements have been installed in the area of ​​the existing gaps between the door leaf and the revolving door in order to achieve effective sealing of the gaps.

[0024] To provide even more effective sealing of the gaps against drafts or the like, a further sealing profile 59 with its sealing base 18 is inserted into the sealing receiving channel 70 between the revolving door and the adjoining sectional element 13. Outside the sealing receiving channel 70, the sealing profile 59 has a free stop leg 26. The stop leg 26 rests against an outer wall of the second vertical closure 22 in the form of a stop 27. It should therefore be noted that sealing arrangements were implemented both in the outer area of ​​the sectional door 1 with the revolving door and in the building interior 29. Such a sealing concept differs significantly from prior art seals, since there only the gap between the revolving door and the adjoining sectional element is sealed.The above-described design of the sealing of the outer area to the inner area of ​​the revolving door between the section elements 13 is preferably also designed in the same way on the upper horizontal side between the revolving door and the section element located above it.

[0025] In the lower end area of ​​the revolving door, the sectional element 12 has an end profile 10, which is also provided with a contact seal 3 on the underside. The revolving door is provided with a stop seal 5 to seal against the outside. The stop seal 5 is fastened in a seal holder 35 with a sealing foot 7 and a base leg 8. The stop seal 5 has a lowered leg 9, which essentially rests against a bottom-side end element 2. Between the lowered leg 9 and an inside leg, there is also a cavity 6, which always enables secure contact with the end element 2. On the inside, the end profile 10 has a seal holder 36, into which an end seal 11 penetrates with its foot, whereas a free leg 4 seals against an upper side of the end element 2.The upper side of the end element 2 can be provided with a reinforcing insert 17, which is inserted into notches 37 within the end element 2. By the . Figure 2 It becomes clear that the revolving door is also securely sealed at the lower horizontal end by two sealing elements 5, 11. In addition, the end element 2 is provided on the underside with a contact seal 3, which rests on a floor area (not shown) when the sectional door 1 is in the closed position, thus securely sealing the entire sectional door 1.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment, it is possible for no closing element 2 to be arranged underneath the revolving door, but rather for a continuous beam of the sectional element 13 to exist. In this embodiment, a profile is arranged underneath the sectional element 13, which extends across the entire width of the sectional door 1, and is fastened to the sectional element 13, for example, with a fastening leg 55. The profile has a seal receptacle 57 on the underside, in which a lower floor seal 54 with a sealing foot 53 is received. The floor seal 54 extends across the entire width of the sectional element 13. The floor seal 54 has a support lip 56 and a channel 44 on the underside. This makes it clear that any water ingress from the outside into the interior area 29 of the building is thus virtually completely prevented.

[0027] To achieve a lower heat exchange between the outside and inside of the sectional door, it is possible to thermally separate the first and second vertical closures 21, 22, which are designed as aluminum profiles. The hollow profiles have a hard intermediate section made of insulating material or an insulating web between the outer and inner areas, e.g., in the area of ​​the spacer legs 32 and 42.

[0028] In order to ensure that the revolving door is completely sealed against water entering from the outside when closed, the same vertical second closures 22 are used on each side of the revolving door. This is particularly important with regard to the laterally projecting closure legs 28 and the sealing profiles 58 and 59 that interact with them. Due to the fact that the projecting closure leg 28 is present on the side on which the hinges 45 are attached to the section elements 12, 13, it is necessary that the hinges 45 used are designed in such a way that when the revolving door is opened at the secondary closing edge, the closure leg 28 does not warp. This embodiment can be used in particular for the Figure 4 which shows a partial opening of the revolving door with hinged band 45 between the first and second vertical closures 21, 22.

[0029] In a perspective view of Figure 8For example, such a band 45 is shown. This band 45 essentially consists of two corresponding parts, namely a fastening flange 47 and a pivot bracket 64. The pivot bracket 64 is mounted via a pivot point 50, which is located in an inlet part 46 of the band 45. The pivot point 50 is mounted in an insert 52, which is inserted into the first vertical end 21 in a band receptacle 61. The inlet part 46 is fastened via angled portions 49 with stop bores 68 located on the insert 52. The fastening flange 47 has connection bores 48 for fastening a rotating part 51 to the second vertical end 22. The fastening flange 47 is also fastened to the pivot bracket 64 in a continuously adjustable manner. For this purpose, there is an angled fastening leg 62 on the fastening flange 47, which rests against a fastening leg 63 of the swivel bracket 64.Within the fastening leg 63 there is an elongated hole 65 into which adjusting screws 66 engage, which are screwed into a thread not shown in the fastening leg 62. After precise adjustment, ie the relative position of the fastening legs 62, 63 to one another, this position is then fixed by locking screws 67.

[0030] A possible use of the design of the band 45 can be in an open position of the passage revolving door of the Figure 9 can be removed. The hinge receptacle 14, 61 has been milled out within the end 21 in the spacer leg 32. The hinge 45 is attached via holes 43.

[0031] As the exemplary embodiment illustrates, such a combination of a sectional door 1 with a revolving door is permanently sealed against water masses accumulating from outside the sectional door 1 due to the design features used. At the same time, resistance to wind loads is reliably absorbed because the gaps between the door leaf and the revolving door are securely closed. Condensation water occurring inside the sectional door can also be drained to the outside through shafts 16 and 33. List of reference symbols
