Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a sealing device for a door and a trigger module of such a sealing device. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Door seals are typically used in areas where light penetration is to be prevented and / or sound insulation is to be ensured. Door gap seals in the form of drop-down seals usually have a housing rail in the form of a U-shaped profile rail, a sealing strip with a sealing element held on or in this housing rail and movable relative to it, and a lowering mechanism for lowering and raising the sealing strip. The sealing strip usually lowers automatically when the door is closed by a force acting longitudinally on an actuating part protruding from the housing rail, actuating the mechanical lowering mechanism against a spring force. The actuating part is usually a rod or a bolt. When the door leaf is opened, the bolt is released again and the lowering mechanism raises the sealing strip again thanks to the restoring force of the springs.Such drop-down seals can be used not only on the underside of a door, but also on the vertical long sides of the door or on the top of the door. The terms "drop-down" and "lift-up" therefore refer to the housing rail and the stop surface for the sealing element's sealing engagement.

[0003] When pivoting door leaves close, the release bolt rests against the stationary door frame and is pushed in as the door leaf continues to close. With pivoting doors, the vertical pivot axis of the door leaf is located within the door leaf and not, as with other pivoting door leaves, in the hinge between the door frame and the door leaf. Therefore, when closing a pivot door leaf, different forces act on the release bolt than with doors that pivot about an external pivot axis. The closing behavior is therefore different. Furthermore, when using a drop-down seal, wear is greater, particularly on the release bolt and the door frame.

[0004] DE 102016108385 A1 discloses a mechanically actuated drop-down seal for a pivot door. The drop-down seal comprises a housing and a trigger protruding from the front of the housing, with a rotatably mounted rotating body for engagement with a stationary stop surface. The rotating body is a ball or roller bearing, whose axis of rotation runs perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the drop-down seal and preferably parallel to the lowering direction of the sealing strip. The rotating body forms the free end of the rod-shaped trigger. A stationary stop surface is provided on the stationary frame, forming a ramp with a crest.

[0005] EP 3 667 010 A1 describes a stop device for a pivot door, wherein the stop device comprises a roller rotatably mounted in a roller carrier. The stop device is attached to the stationary frame of the door.

[0006] Furthermore, DE 202 19 081 U1 discloses a sliding door with a drop-down seal comprising a housing and a trigger pivotably mounted in the housing for actuating a mechanism for lowering a sealing strip. The trigger is designed as a lever element with a roller for contacting the stationary door frame.

[0007] KR 20130049928 A also describes a drop-down seal with a release lever and a roller arranged on it.

[0008] These known solutions are designed for doors with a single drop-down seal. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a sealing device with two drop-down seals that can be used for pivot doors.

[0010] This object is achieved by a sealing device having the features of patent claim 1 and a triggering module having the features of patent claim 15.

[0011] The sealing device according to the invention for a door with a pivoting door leaf has two drop-down seals for arrangement on or in the door leaf. The two drop-down seals are arranged next to each other and parallel to each other. Each of the two drop-down seals has a lowerable and raiseable sealing strip, a lowering mechanism for lowering and raising the sealing strip, and an actuating part, wherein the actuating part actuates the lowering mechanism when the door leaf is closed. The sealing device has a trigger module that acts on the two actuating parts when the door leaf is closed. The trigger module has a contact body that is designed to bear against a stationary stop surface of the door and can be brought into contact with the stop surface when the door leaf is closed.

[0012] The two drop-down seals can thus be triggered with a common trigger module, so that their lowering mechanisms are actuated together and, if possible, simultaneously. This enables a space-saving design of the sealing device, which allows the use of narrow door leaves. At the same time, it can be ensured that both drop-down seals are triggered with the same force. Since the trigger module acts on the actuating parts of the drop-down seals, the drop-down seals can still be individually adjusted from one another. In particular, the stroke or contact force relative to the stationary part can be individually adjusted. Adjustment is particularly simplified when the two actuating parts are longitudinally adjustable rods or bolts, as used in the prior art in combination with the known trigger buttons of drop-down seals.

[0013] The two drop-down seals are preferably identical. In other embodiments, however, they differ, for example, in their dimensions, particularly in their cross-section, and / or in the shape of the sealing profile and / or in the type of drop-down mechanism.

[0014] Preferably, the sealing strips of the two drop-down seals move in the same direction, i.e. they seal against the same surface or similarly aligned surfaces.

[0015] The contact body can be designed in different ways. In some embodiments, it is a sliding surface, which is preferably curved. In other preferred embodiments, it is a rolling body, preferably a roller. The term "roller" in this text also includes a "wheel" or similar. These terms are understood as synonyms.

[0016] The roller, especially when used in pivot doors, has the advantage of optimally following the closing and opening movement of the door leaf, thus enabling optimal power transmission with minimal wear. This is especially true when the rolling element, especially the roller, can rotate around an axis that extends perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the two drop-down seals.

[0017] The trigger module can be designed in different ways. It is preferably symmetrical with respect to the two drop-down seals and uses identical components to actuate the two actuating parts of the drop-down seals. This ensures that both drop-down seals are triggered as simultaneously as possible and with the same force transmission.

[0018] However, an asymmetric design of the drop-down seal is also possible, especially when used with two different drop-down seals.

[0019] The trigger module preferably has a force transmission body that is movable relative to the door leaf when closing. The contact body is preferably arranged on the force transmission body. This enables optimal force transmission to the two actuating parts.

[0020] In some embodiments, the force transmission body is pivotable or performs a complex movement. Preferably, however, it is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the two drop-down seals. It is preferably displaceable exclusively in this longitudinal direction. This optimizes force transmission and shortens the travel distance. This allows for the design of very space-saving trigger modules.

[0021] Preferably, the force transmission body is firmly connected or connectable to the two actuating parts in the assembled state, or it merely contacts the force transmission parts. The fixed connection enables play-free force transmission in both directions, i.e., when lowering as well as raising the sealing strips. Depending on the design, the contact enables faster lifting of the sealing strips when opening the door leaf.

[0022] The force transmission body can be guided and movable directly on or in the door leaf and / or on or in at least one of the two drop-down seals. Preferably, however, the force transmission body is held in a module housing, wherein the module housing can be fastened on or in the door leaf or to at least one of the two seals. The module housing is preferably fixed in position relative to the door leaf. The force transmission body is movable relative to the module housing when the door leaf is closed and preferably also when it is opened. The use of a module housing has the advantage that the dimensional accuracy requirements for accommodating the trigger module on the door leaf are not too high. The same trigger module can also be used in door leaves of different designs.

[0023] To ensure the most optimal movement of the force transmission body with minimal friction, it is designed accordingly. In some embodiments, it has at least one sliding surface, which enables movement relative to the door leaf. Preferably, there is a sliding surface on each of two opposite side walls of the force transmission body. In other preferred embodiments, the force transmission body has at least one rotating body on at least one side, preferably on two opposite sides, which enables movement relative to the door leaf. Preferably, the at least one rotating body is a ball and / or a roller.

[0024] The operative connection between the trigger module and the two actuating parts of the two drop-down seals can be established in different ways. It can be direct or indirect, fixed, or simply by contact. Preferably, the trigger module has a connecting element for contacting each of the two actuating parts or for connecting to each of the two actuating parts. The connection is preferably fixed, but preferably detachable for disassembly. Preferably, the two connecting elements are arranged on the force transmission body. Preferably, the two connecting elements are two connecting pins.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, a first of the two connecting elements protrudes from the force transmission body on a first side, and a second of the two connecting elements protrudes from the force transmission body on a side opposite the first side. In this case, the trigger module can be made extremely small and easily mounted in the door leaf.

[0026] The trigger module according to the invention is thus designed to act on the two actuating parts of the sealing device when the door leaf is closed. It comprises a contact body that is designed to engage a stationary stop surface of the door and can be brought into contact with the stop surface when the door leaf is closed.

[0027] Further embodiments are specified in the dependent claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] Identical or similar parts are provided with the same reference symbols. DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0030] Figure 1 shows a building situation with a wall W in which a pivot door with a pivoting door leaf T is arranged. As in Figure 1As can be seen, the door pivot axis D is located in the door surface. In the lower end face of the door leaf T, a groove for a sealing device with two drop-down seals 1 is formed. In other embodiments, additionally or alternatively, a groove N and a sealing device S arranged therein are present on the upper end face and / or the lateral end faces of the door leaf T. Instead of being arranged in a groove N, the sealing device S can also be fastened to the outside of the door leaf T.

[0031] Depending on the design, the wall W itself forms the frame for the door leaf or there is a frame that is arranged in the wall opening.

[0032] In the Figures 2 to 7 a first embodiment of the sealing device according to the invention is shown.

[0033] The Figures 2 and 3 show the wall W and part of the door leaf T. In Figure 3 the door leaf T is in Figure 3closed and in Figure 2 It is in a state during the closing of the door. The embodiments shown in the other figures are also preferably arranged in this manner on or in the door leaf T and preferably have the drop-down seals 1 described below.

[0034] The sealing device S has two drop-down seals 1 arranged in the groove N of the door leaf T. The drop-down seals 1 are preferably seals of a known type. They can be identical or different. The drop-down seals 1 shown are preferred, but should be understood as merely exemplary. Each of the two drop-down seals 1 has, as shown in Figure 6can be seen, a housing profile rail 10 with a U-shaped cross-section that is open at the bottom. A sealing strip is held on or in the housing profile rail 10 and can be moved relative to the housing profile rail 10 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the sealing strip and thus also of the housing profile rail 10. It can therefore be raised and lowered. The sealing strip is connected to the housing profile rail 10 via a lowering mechanism that is not visible in the figures. The lowering mechanism is designed differently depending on the embodiment. It preferably has return springs, for example leaf springs, and a slider extending in the longitudinal direction. This lowering mechanism is known in the prior art. Alternative lowering mechanisms can also be used.

[0035] The sealing strip comprises a support profile rail 12 and a sealing profile 11 formed or attached to it. The sealing profile 11 extends at least the entire length or height of the door leaf T and, when the sealing strip is lowered, forms a seal against the floor, ceiling, or side door frame. In this example, the device seals downwards against the floor.

[0036] An actuating part 13 protrudes from the front of the support profile rail 12 and / or the housing profile rail 10. The actuating part 13 is preferably designed in the form of a bolt or a rod. Depending on the embodiment, it is hollow or solid. It preferably has an external or internal thread for connection to the slide. It is preferably adjustable with respect to the lowering mechanism, in particular with respect to the slide. The adjustability can be achieved, for example, via a threaded connection, so that the extent to which the actuating part 13 protrudes from the front can be selected.

[0037] The actuating part 13 acts on the lowering mechanism via its connection to the slide. When it is pressed toward the housing profile rail 10, the lowering mechanism lowers the sealing strip, preferably against the spring force of the return spring. If the external pressure on the actuating part 13 is removed, i.e., the actuating part 13 is released again, the sealing strip is raised again due to the return force of the return spring.

[0038] The sealing profile 11 preferably protrudes from the supporting profile rail 12 and preferably also from the housing profile rail 10. Depending on the design, the sealing profile 11 can be extended by "massaging" it out, or it is designed to be expandable or extendable in another way. When the door is closed, it preferably forms a sealing surface against the vertical door frame or casing, thus forming not only a seal against the floor but also a frontal seal.

[0039] The sealing device further comprises a trigger module 2, as shown in the Figures 2 and 3 can be seen. The trigger module 2 is preferably also arranged in the groove N of the door leaf T. It is preferably located centrally between the two drop-down seals 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the groove N of the door leaf T is provided with a step A, as shown in the Figures 5 and 6 is clearly visible. The groove N thus forms two parallel channels, each open at the bottom, for receiving one of the drop-down seals 1. At one end of the groove N, the two channels are connected in their upper area by a cuboid-shaped recess, so that a step A is formed against the open lower end of the door leaf T. This recess forms a receiving opening for the trigger module 2. The trigger module 2 thus rests on the step A in the mounted state, as shown in Figure 4 is clearly visible.

[0041] The trigger module 2 has, as shown in the Figures 6 and 7 can be seen, a module housing 4, a force transmission body 5, a rotation body, here in the form of a roller 6, and two connecting elements, here in the form of connecting pins 7.

[0042] The module housing 4 has a flat, cuboid-shaped base body with a flat lower wall 40, a flat upper wall 41 running parallel thereto, two side walls 42, and a rear wall 43. The narrow front end of the base body is open, so that a receiving opening 44 is formed for receiving the force transmission body 5.

[0043] In this embodiment, the rear wall 43 has through-holes 47 on the rear side. This allows the module housing 4 to be screwed to the rear wall of step A using screws (not shown here) and thus fixed in place in the door leaf T.

[0044] The side walls 42 each have an open lateral groove 45 in the front region of the base body, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the side walls 42 and thus also in the longitudinal direction of the drop-down seals 1. These two grooves 45 are open towards the front face of the base body. The two grooves 45 each merge into an inner lateral recess 46. The two inner lateral recesses 46 extend over the remaining length of the side walls 42 to the rear wall 43. However, they are closed with respect to the respective side wall 42. These lateral recesses 46 are preferably rounded.

[0045] The force transmission body 5 preferably also has a flat, cuboid-shaped base body 50. The base body 50 is shorter than the module housing 4. It is received in the receiving opening 44 of the module housing 4 and is displaceable within the module housing 4 in the longitudinal direction of the drop-down seals 1. The possible displacement path within the module housing 4 preferably corresponds at least to the displacement length of the actuating parts 13 of the drop-down seals 1. Or, to put it another way: it preferably corresponds at least to the distance by which the actuating parts 13 are pressed in toward the door leaf when the door leaf is closed in order to actuate the drop-down mechanism. The two lateral open grooves 45 also have a length that corresponds at least to this distance.

[0046] A fork-shaped nose 54 is formed on the front end of the base body 50, which holds the roller 6. The roller 6 is mounted in the force transmission body 5 so as to be rotatable about an axis 55. The axis 55 preferably runs perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the two drop-down seals 1 and parallel to the drop-down direction of the sealing strip.

[0047] Inside the base body 50, here in a receiving opening 51, rotating bodies 52, in this case rollers, are arranged, projecting laterally. Preferably, such rollers project on the two opposite sides of the base body 50. Their axes of rotation 56 run parallel to the axis 55 and parallel to the direction of movement of the sealing strip of the drop-down seals 1.

[0048] The rotation bodies 52 rest against the two inner lateral recesses 46 of the module housing 4 and roll in these recesses 46 as the force transmission body 5 is moved. This enables optimal guidance of the force transmission body 5 when the door leaf T is closed and opened.

[0049] In the front area of the base body 50, a connecting element in the form of a connecting pin 7 is arranged in each side wall. For this purpose, the two side walls each have a lateral receiving opening 53. The connecting pins 7 protrude laterally from the side walls. Preferably, they protrude at a right angle. Each connecting pin 7 has a free end 70 that can be connected to one of the two actuating elements 13. During assembly, it is preferably fixedly, but detachably, connected to the free end of the actuating element 13. In this embodiment, the rod-shaped actuating element 13 has a slot 130 for positively and / or non-positively receiving the free end 70 of the connecting pin 7. Other contact or connection types are also possible.

[0050] When the door leaf T is closed, the roller 6 rolls along the frame and the force transmission body 5 is pressed into the module housing 4. This can be seen by comparing the Figures 2 and 3 visible. Due to their operative connection with the connecting pins 7, the two actuating parts 13 are also pressed into the respective housing profile rail 10. They activate the lowering mechanism, which lowers the sealing strip, i.e., the support profile 12 and the sealing profile 11. The sealing profile 11 seals the gap between the underside of the door leaf and the floor.

[0051] When the door is opened again, the roller 6 slides along the frame. The force acting on the force transmission body 5 is eliminated. The return force of the return springs of the lowering mechanism can thus lift the sealing strip and push the actuating parts 13 outward again. The actuating parts 13 take the connecting pins 7 and thus the force transmission body 5 with them. The sealing device is ready for the next use.

[0052] In the Figures 8 to 12A second embodiment of the trigger module 2 according to the invention is shown. It is essentially identical to the example already described. It can be coupled to the two drop-down seals 1 in the same way. Only the module housing 4' has a few changes. In contrast to the first example, it can also be fastened from below in the groove N or on the underside of the door leaf T. Fastening takes place, as in the first example, before the force transmission body 5 is inserted into the module housing 4'. The module housing 4' according to this example has large lower through-holes 49 in the lower wall 40 and aligned upper fastening holes 48, preferably with a countersink, in the upper wall 41. The lower through-holes 49 serve to insert screws (not shown) and to pass through the screwdriver for fastening the screws penetrating the fastening holes 48 in the groove N of the door leaf T.

[0053] The rear mounting holes 47 are also present in this example, allowing you to choose which mounting type to use. However, they can also be missing.

[0054] In Figure 10 The assembled trigger module 2 can be seen. In Figure 11 the connection between connecting pins 7 and actuating parts 13 is clearly visible. Figure 12 the entire sealing device, ie with the two lowering seals 1, is shown.

[0055] The Figures 13 and 14show a third embodiment of the sealing device according to the invention. The difference from the previous examples lies again in the design of the module housing 4". It is not flat, but rather has a height that preferably corresponds to the depth of the groove N of the door leaf T and / or the height of the housing profile rail 10. This allows a groove to be formed in the door leaf that has the same rectangular cross-section over its entire length. This simplifies the manufacture and processing of the door leaf T.

[0056] The 4" module housing can be secured using rear mounting holes 46 and / or upper mounting holes 48 in combination with lower through holes 49. Alternatively, it can also be glued into the groove N or to the underside of the door leaf T.

[0057] In Figure 15A flat 4‴ module housing is shown which has no mounting holes and which can also be glued in.

[0058] In Figure 16 A further embodiment of a force transmission body 5' is shown. It can be used with all previously described module housings 4, 4', 4", 4‴. However, these module housings preferably do not have inner lateral recesses 46; instead, the inner surface of the side walls 42 is flat.

[0059] The force transmission body 5' according to this embodiment has no laterally arranged rotational bodies. At least one region of the walls, preferably the side walls 58, of the base body 50 is designed as a lateral sliding surface that slides along the inner surface of one of the side walls 42 of the module housing 4, 4', 4", 4‴. Preferably, both opposing side walls 58 of the force transmission body 5' are designed such that they slide along both side walls 42 of the module housing 4, 4', 4", 4‴. This guides the movement of the force transmission body 5' in the module housing 4, 4', 4", 4‴.

[0060] In a further embodiment according to Figure 17 the rotating bodies are not rollers, but balls 8, which are arranged in depressions 57 in the side walls 58 of the base body 50 of the force transmission body 5".

[0061] The device according to the invention enables optimized operation of two drop-down seals, particularly in pivot doors.
