Description

[0001] The invention relates to a drive assembly for a double-leaf automatic sliding door for a building. Furthermore, the invention relates to a construction kit for manufacturing the double-leaf automatic sliding door for a building using the drive assembly.

[0002] Automatic sliding doors are used to close an opening in a building, for example at a building entrance.

[0003] It is an object of the present invention to provide a drive assembly whose components are easy to handle, in particular during storage, transport and / or shipping, and which enables the production of a double-leaf automatic sliding door for a building.

[0004] The problem is solved by the features of the independent claims. The dependent claims relate to preferred embodiments of the invention.

[0005] The problem is thus solved by a drive assembly for a double-leaf automatic sliding door for a building. The drive assembly comprises several drive assembly elements. The drive assembly elements can be relatively long, as they must extend at least over the entire length (measured in the horizontal direction) of the automatic double-leaf sliding door. The total length of each drive assembly element is referred to below as the "element length." This relatively large element length makes the drive assembly elements complex to handle, particularly during storage, transport, and shipping. To counteract this problem, the invention provides that at least one of the drive assembly elements is divided into its element length, into a first drive assembly element part and a second drive assembly element part.The division "in its element length" means that the respective drive assembly element no longer has the full element length due to this division. Rather, due to this division, two individual drive assembly element parts are present as separate, distinct parts. The length of these individual drive assembly element parts is referred to herein as the "part length."

[0006] The two individual drive assembly components are designed to be positioned side by side to form the entire drive assembly. This joining of the two drive assembly components takes place during the assembly of the double-leaf automatic sliding door. This allows for very easy handling of the drive assembly components, which are relatively short compared to the length of the component, before installing the sliding door.

[0007] Not all drive assembly elements of the drive assembly need to be divided into two separate drive assembly element parts. If one of the drive assembly elements is divided into a first drive assembly element part and a second drive assembly element part, it is specifically intended that it be divided only once, i.e., that it only comprises these two drive assembly element parts.

[0008] The drive assembly according to the invention is designed in particular as a kit for shipping and subsequent assembly. This means that the components of the drive assembly still need to be attached to each other and / or to the building, e.g., to a lintel. This takes place after shipping.

[0009] Different drive assembly elements are described below. It is always provided that at least one, in particular several, in particular all, of these drive assembly elements are subdivided according to their respective element length into a first drive assembly element part and a second drive assembly element part. Thus, for each subdivided drive assembly element, there is a first drive assembly element part and a second drive assembly element part.

[0010] The drive assembly elements, which can be subdivided according to their respective element lengths, are in particular a drive profile and / or a cover. Preferably, both the drive profile and the cover are subdivided according to their respective element lengths.

[0011] The drive profile is designed to support and / or at least indirectly guide at least one carriage of the automatic sliding door.

[0012] It can be provided that the drive assembly elements comprise a track profile. The track profile is preferably designed to be placed, in particular glued, onto a corresponding surface of the drive profile. The track profile serves as a running surface for at least one carriage of the automatic sliding door. If a track profile is present, the track profile is preferably divided into its element lengths.

[0013] It can be provided that the drive assembly elements comprise a mounting plate. The mounting plate is preferably designed to be attached above the sliding door on the building side, for example, to the lintel. Furthermore, the mounting plate and the drive profile are preferably designed so that the drive profile can be attached to the mounting plate. If a mounting plate is present, the mounting plate is preferably divided into its element lengths.

[0014] The cover is preferably designed to cover the drive profile and the elements located therein, such as the motor unit or the carriages. For this purpose, the cover is designed, in particular, for attachment to the drive profile and / or the mounting plate.

[0015] The drive assembly may further comprise small drive parts, such as screws or cables, which cannot be subdivided within the meaning of this invention.

[0016] In particular, it is provided that the drive profile is divided in its element length into a first drive assembly element part and a second drive assembly element part.

[0017] Additionally or alternatively, it is preferably provided that the running profile is divided in its element length into a first drive assembly element part and a second drive assembly element part.

[0018] Additionally or alternatively, it is preferably provided that the mounting plate is divided in its element length into a first drive assembly element part and a second drive assembly element part.

[0019] Additionally or alternatively, it is preferably provided that the cladding is divided in its element length into a first drive assembly element part and a second drive assembly element part.

[0020] Preferred values ​​and value ranges for the element length and the part length are described below. It should always be noted that the various drive assembly elements described can have different element lengths. Likewise, the two drive assembly element parts belonging to a drive assembly element can have different part lengths.

[0021] Preferably, at least one, in particular each, drive assembly element has an element length of less than 620 cm, preferably less than 600 cm, particularly preferably less than 500 cm. The defined element length also specifies the maximum part length of the divided drive assembly elements, whereby a limitation of the element length results in good handling of the drive assembly elements and the drive assembly element parts. Likewise, there is little waste if the drive assembly element is shortened after shipping. The drive assembly element parts can each have a part length of less than 360 cm, preferably less than 300 cm, particularly preferably less than 250 cm. Particularly preferably, the drive assembly element has an element length of less than 465 cm. In this particularly preferred variant, the drive assembly element parts accordingly have a part length of less than 232 cm.

[0022] Preferably, at least one, in particular each, drive assembly element subdivided by its element length has an element length of at least 150 cm, preferably at least 200 cm, and the associated drive assembly element parts each have a part length of at least 75 cm, preferably at least 100 cm. This ensures that, on the one hand, only relatively long drive assembly elements are subdivided, and, on the other hand, the subdivision is carried out sensibly, so that no drive assembly element parts are created that are too small.

[0023] Preferably, it is provided that for at least one, in particular each, drive assembly element divided in its element length, the associated drive assembly element parts differ in part length by a maximum of 20%, preferably a maximum of 10%. This ensures that the respective drive assembly element is divided approximately in half into the two drive assembly element parts. Particularly preferably, the drive assembly element parts of a drive assembly element have the same length, at least before shipping. This ensures easy handling.

[0024] If the respective drive assembly element is subdivided along its length, it is preferably provided that the two associated drive assembly element parts are designed for abutting arrangement. Therefore, the drive assembly elements are preferably not subdivided into drive assembly element parts in such a way that they overlap during the final assembly. Rather, an abutting arrangement is preferably provided.

[0025] It is not necessary for all subdivided drive assembly elements to be connected to each other during assembly. For example, with the running profile, it may be sufficient to place the two individual drive assembly elements of the running profile side by side onto the drive profile, for example, by gluing them together. With the mounting plate, it is also not absolutely necessary to directly connect the two individual drive assembly elements; instead, the two drive assembly elements of the mounting plate can be attached to the building side by side.

[0026] However, for certain drive assembly elements, in particular the drive profile and / or the cover, it is preferably provided that the associated drive assembly element parts are designed to be connected to one another, in particular butt-jointed. This is particularly preferably provided for the drive profile and the cover.

[0027] For this purpose, it is particularly provided that the drive assembly comprises at least one connecting part. The connecting part is designed for connection, in particular in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner, to the two drive assembly element parts to be connected, in order to thus connect the two associated drive assembly element parts to one another. For example, the connecting part is designed as a plate that overlaps with both drive assembly element parts to be connected. Such a connecting part can be screwed to the two drive assembly element parts in a force-fitting manner and / or it is possible, for example, to insert such a connecting part into corresponding grooves in the two drive assembly element parts, thereby resulting in a form-fitting connection. A material-to-material connection is also conceivable.

[0028] For each drive assembly element that is divided, two drive assembly elements must be arranged side by side, as already described. This creates a gap between the two drive assembly elements.

[0029] Preferably, at least two of the drive assembly elements are subdivided, specifically such that the joints between the adjacent drive assembly elements are offset from one another. This is particularly advantageous for the mounting plate and the drive profile, as it ensures that the joint between the two drive assembly elements of the mounting plate is offset from the joint between the two drive assembly elements of the drive profile. As a result, these weak points, namely the two joints, are offset from one another, resulting in a stable arrangement.

[0030] To achieve offsetting, it can be provided, in particular, that in at least one of the drive assembly elements arranged offset from one another, in particular in the mounting plate or the drive profile, the drive assembly element parts have an unequal length, at least in the assembled state. Preferably, the drive assembly element parts that have the unequal length differ by less than 20%, preferably by less than 10%, so that the joint of this drive assembly element is nevertheless located almost centrally on the assembled sliding door.

[0031] The drive assembly can include instructions on how to shorten at least one drive assembly element of the drive assembly elements after shipping and receiving the drive assembly. During the shortening process, at least one drive assembly element part of this drive assembly element, in particular precisely one drive assembly element part of this drive assembly element, is shortened. The instructions can be sent by post together with the remaining drive assembly. Alternatively, the instructions can be sent separately from the remaining drive assembly, for example, electronically.

[0032] The handling instruction can include instructions on how to produce the unequal lengths of the drive assembly element parts of at least one of the drive assembly elements in order to create an offset of the joints. This is particularly useful if the drive assembly element parts of this drive assembly element are of the same length before shipping.

[0033] For example, in the case of the cladding, the gap between the two drive assembly elements may be visible from the outside. Therefore, it is provided, particularly in the case of the cladding, that a further component is arranged over this gap in order to completely or partially conceal the gap. Generally, it is thus provided that the drive assembly comprises a further component, in particular a sensor unit. The further component is designed to be arranged externally over a gap between the drive assembly elements of one of the drive assembly elements, in particular the cladding. The sensor unit may be a unit that uses sensors to monitor the opening area of ​​the automatic sliding door.

[0034] Preferably, drive assembly element parts are designed such that the gap between the drive assembly element parts, when assembled, is located between the travel paths of the carriages of the sliding door leaves. This is particularly intended for the drive profile and, if present, for the guide profile. This can prevent the carriages from jerking across the gap. Likewise, the panel gap can be located between the travel paths of the carriages of the sliding door leaves, particularly if the sensor unit is located between the travel paths.

[0035] The drive assembly preferably comprises at least one package in which at least one drive assembly element is arranged.

[0036] A package is understood, in particular, to be a unit with its own outer packaging. The outer packaging is formed, in particular, by a cardboard box and / or a film and / or packaging tape, particularly preferably a cardboard box. This outer packaging allows the individual package to be transported and shipped as a single "part."

[0037] If the drive assembly comprises multiple packages, it is preferably provided that at least two packages are combined to form a package assembly. The package assembly has its own composite packaging. The composite packaging can be made of cardboard and / or film and / or packaging tape, particularly preferably packaging tape. The package assembly forms a "part" that can be transported and shipped independently.

[0038] In the at least one package of the drive assembly, the two drive assembly element parts of at least one drive assembly element subdivided by its element length are preferably located next to each other. This ensures that the package does not have to be approximately the length of the entire element length, but only approximately the length of the part length.

[0039] It can be provided that the drive assembly element parts of a drive assembly element in the at least one package are arranged rotated relative to one another. This is particularly useful for substantially angular drive assembly elements, such as the drive profile and cover. In the rotated arrangement, the vertices of the drive assembly element parts of the substantially angular drive assembly element are opposite one another.

[0040] Preferably, the drive assembly elements are divided into at least one first drive assembly element and one second drive assembly element. It can also be provided that the drive assembly elements are divided into one first drive assembly element and several second drive assembly elements. It is also conceivable that the drive assembly elements are divided into several first drive assembly elements and several second drive assembly elements.

[0041] Particularly preferably, there is only the first drive assembly element(s) and the second drive assembly element(s), but no further drive assembly elements. This means that all drive assembly elements of the drive assembly are either first drive assembly elements or second drive assembly elements.

[0042] Preferably, a first drive package and a second drive package are provided as packages. In particular, all drive assembly elements are also divided between these two drive packages, and no further drive packages are provided.

[0043] First drive assembly elements, in particular all of the first drive assembly elements, are arranged in the first drive package. If only one first drive assembly element is present, the first drive assembly element is arranged in the first drive package. The first drive assembly element(s) include, in particular, the panel. The first drive assembly element(s) are preferably intended for coating and / or designed for coating. The first drive assembly element(s) are preferably made of metal. If several first drive assembly elements are present, they are preferably all made of metal. Coating means that this(these) first drive assembly element(s) must be subjected to a coating, e.g., painting, before they are assembled to form the sliding door.

[0044] Particularly preferably, a corresponding marking, preferably a sticker or imprint, is provided on the outside of the outer packaging of the first drive package, indicating that this first drive package contains parts intended for coating. The marking can, for example, comprise a symbol and / or words to indicate that this first drive package contains parts that require coating. This has the advantage that the recipient of the construction kit can transport the first drive package further without opening it in order to carry out the coating.

[0045] The second drive package contains, in particular, all of the second drive assembly elements. The second drive assembly elements include, in particular, the drive profile. If a mounting plate is present, the mounting plate is considered one of the second drive assembly elements. If a running profile is present, the running profile is considered one of the second drive assembly elements. These second drive assembly elements are, in particular, not intended for coating.

[0046] The second drive package may contain the drive hardware and / or the belt.

[0047] Preferably, the first and second drive packages have the same package length and / or the same package width. In particular, the package length of the first and second drive packages is at most 2.6 m, preferably at most 2.35 m, to enable easy shipping. The package length is preferably at least 0.75 m, particularly preferably at least 1.0 m. Because the two drive packages have the same package length and / or the same package width, they can be easily assembled into a package assembly.

[0048] The invention further relates to a sliding door drive arrangement, wherein the sliding door drive arrangement is produced from the drive assembly according to the invention as described in the context of this disclosure, in particular from a drive assembly according to one of claims 1 to 14. This means that in addition to the drive assembly, which is intended for shipping and assembly, the fully assembled part of the sliding door, which can be produced by the drive assembly, is also protected.

[0049] The sliding door drive arrangement thus fully assembled comprises at least one drive assembly element which is made from a first drive assembly element part and a second drive assembly element part, wherein the first and the second drive assembly element part together form the drive assembly element over the entire element length.

[0050] In particular, at least the drive profile and the cover of the fully assembled sliding door drive assembly are each formed by a first and a second drive assembly element part of the drive profile and the cover, respectively. If the sliding door drive assembly comprises a running profile and / or a mounting plate, the mounting plate and / or the running profile can each also be formed from a first and a second drive assembly element part.

[0051] The two associated drive assembly element parts of a drive assembly element are preferably arranged abutting against one another. In particular, at least the drive assembly element parts of the cover are connected to one another. The drive assembly element parts of the drive profile can also be connected to one another.

[0052] The gap resulting from the arrangement of the drive assembly element parts of a drive assembly element can be concealed in the cladding by another component, in particular a sensor unit.

[0053] At least two of the drive assembly elements can be divided in their element length such that the joints between the adjacent drive assembly element parts are offset from one another. For this purpose, the drive assembly element parts of at least one drive assembly element have unequal lengths. However, the drive assembly element parts of the drive assembly element whose drive assembly element parts have unequal lengths preferably differ from one another by a maximum of 20%, preferably 10%.

[0054] The gap between the drive assembly elements of the sliding door drive assembly is preferably located between the travel paths of the sliding door leaf carriages. This applies in particular to the drive profile and, if present, the guide profile.

[0055] Preferably, at least one, in particular each, drive assembly element has an element length of less than 620 cm, in particular less than 600 cm, in particular less than 500 cm. The drive assembly element parts can each have a part length of less than 360 cm, in particular less than 300 cm, in particular less than 250 cm. It is preferably provided that at least one, in particular each, drive assembly element subdivided in its element length has an element length of at least 200 cm, and the associated drive assembly element parts each have a part length of at least 100 cm. Particularly preferably, the drive assembly element of the fully assembled sliding door has an element length of less than 465 cm. In this particularly preferred variant, the drive assembly element parts accordingly have a part length of less than 232 cm.

[0056] At least one drive assembly element may have been shortened in the assembled state prior to assembly. Thus, at least one drive assembly element part has an end surface produced by sawing.

[0057] The sliding door arrangement is particularly designed so that the sliding door's carriages move within the drive profile. The carriages are connected to a motor unit, in particular an electric motor unit, of the sliding door via a belt on the sliding door.

[0058] The invention further comprises a construction kit for manufacturing the double-leaf automatic sliding door for a building. The construction kit comprises at least the following components: at least one door assembly, the drive assembly defined above and / or in the claims and / or in the description, and a motor assembly. This means that in addition to the kit representing the drive assembly, there are further components intended for shipping and subsequent assembly.

[0059] The door assembly comprises several door assembly elements for producing at least two sliding door leaves of the automatic sliding door. For this purpose, the door assembly elements preferably comprise several door profiles and several door seals. To produce each individual sliding door leaf, a door leaf, such as a glass pane, is also required. The two door leaves for the two sliding door leaves are preferably not part of the construction kit described here.

[0060] The door profiles are preferably designed to form a full-circle frame around the door leaf. To this end, the door profiles can be connected to each other at the corners, for example, using connecting elements.

[0061] The door seals are preferably designed to be attached to the door profiles. The door seals can serve as seals between the door profiles and the door leaf, or they can be mounted on the outside of the door profiles, for example, to seal against the main or secondary closing edge or against the floor.

[0062] The motor assembly comprises several motor assembly elements. The motor assembly elements comprise a motor unit and at least one carriage. The at least one carriage is designed to attach the individual sliding door leaf to the drive profile and to guide it in a slidingly movable manner, with the carriage(s) resting on the profile. In particular, one or two carriages are provided per sliding door leaf.

[0063] If the sliding door includes fixed side panels, the construction kit can comprise at least one side assembly with multiple side assembly elements. The side assembly elements preferably comprise multiple side panel profiles and / or multiple side panel seals. Particularly preferably, the side assembly elements comprise side panel profiles and side panel seals.

[0064] The door assembly elements and, if present, the side assembly elements can be divided into first door assembly elements or side assembly elements and second door assembly elements or side assembly elements. It is particularly preferred that there are only first door assembly elements or side assembly elements and second door assembly elements or side assembly elements, but no further door assembly elements or side assembly elements. This means that all door assembly elements of the door assembly, and if present, all side assembly elements of the side assembly, are either first door assembly elements or side assembly elements or second door assembly elements or side assembly elements.

[0065] Preferably, the construction kit comprises a first door package and a second door package. If at least one side assembly is present, the construction kit comprises a first side package and a second side package per side assembly.

[0066] First door assembly elements, in particular all first door assembly elements, are arranged in the first door package.

Correspondingly, first side assembly elements, in particular all first side assembly elements, are arranged in the first side package. The first side assembly elements include, in particular, all side part profiles. The first side assembly elements are preferably intended for coating and / or designed for coating. The first side assembly elements are preferably all made of metal. In particular, all second door assembly elements are arranged in the second door package. The second door assembly elements include, in particular, the door seals.These second door assembly elements are, in particular, not intended for coating. The door seals are preferably made of plastic. The second side package contains, in particular, all of the second side assembly elements. The second side assembly elements include, in particular, the side panel seals. These second side assembly elements are, in particular, not intended for coating. The side panel seals are preferably made of plastic.

[0067] Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the at least one carriage can be connected to the motor unit, for example via a belt. This allows the two sliding door leaves to be moved automatically by means of the motor unit.

[0068] The invention will now be described in more detail using an exemplary embodiment. In the following: Fig. 1 a double-leaf automatic sliding door, manufactured with the drive assembly according to the invention as a component of the construction kit according to the invention according to the exemplary embodiment, Fig. 2 a schematic representation of a part of the automatic sliding door, manufactured with the drive assembly according to the invention as a component of the construction kit according to the invention according to the exemplary embodiment, Fig. 3 a detailed view of the double-leaf automatic sliding door, manufactured with the drive assembly according to the invention as a component of the construction kit according to the invention according to the exemplary embodiment, Fig. 4 a schematic view of the individual drive assembly elements of the drive assembly according to the invention according to the exemplary embodiment, Fig. 5 schematic views of a two-part covering of the drive assembly according to the invention according to the exemplary embodiment, Fig.6 shows a cross-section of a first drive package of the drive assembly according to the invention in accordance with the exemplary embodiment, Fig. 7 shows a cross-section of a second drive package of the drive assembly according to the invention in accordance with the exemplary embodiment, and Fig. 8 shows a perspective view of a package assembly comprising the first and second drive packages of the drive assembly according to the invention in accordance with the exemplary embodiment.

[0069] In the following, a sliding door drive arrangement is described with reference to the figures, manufactured from a drive assembly 5 as part of a construction kit for producing a double-leaf automatic sliding door 1 for a building. Unless otherwise stated in detail, reference is always made to all figures. Since the sliding door drive arrangement corresponds to the assembled form of the drive assembly 5 and thus comprises the same drive assembly elements, the Figures 1 to 3also the drive assembly 5, although processed into the sliding door drive assembly, is shown.

[0070] Fig. 1 shows an exemplary double-leaf automatic sliding door 1 that can be manufactured using the drive assembly 5. The sliding door 1 comprises two sliding door leaves 2. Fixed side panels 3 can be located to the sides of the two sliding door leaves 2. The sliding door leaves 2 are manufactured using door assembly elements of a door assembly 4. However, the drive assembly 5 according to the invention, the sliding door drive arrangement according to the invention, and the construction kit according to the invention can also be used in an automatic sliding door 1 that is designed without side panels 3, but otherwise corresponds to the sliding door of the figures.

[0071] Furthermore, Fig. 1that the sliding door 1 has the sliding door drive arrangement which extends over the sliding door leaves 2 across the entire width of the sliding door 1.

[0072] Fig. 2 shows, in a purely schematic view and for the sake of simplicity, with only one sliding door leaf 2, assembly elements of the sliding door 1. A motor unit 6 and a carriage 7 are shown as components of the motor assembly. The respective sliding door leaf 2 hangs from the carriage 7. The respective carriage 7 is drive-connected to the motor unit 6 via elements not shown, for example a belt, so that the carriage 7 and thus the sliding door leaf 2 can be moved automatically in the horizontal direction.

[0073] Furthermore, the schematic representation in Fig. 2several drive assembly elements 10 of the drive assembly 5. The drive assembly 5 accordingly comprises, as drive assembly elements 10, a mounting plate 13 to which a drive profile 11 is attached. On the drive profile 11 is a running profile 12 on which the carriage 7 rests and rolls. The drive profile 11 is covered by a cover 14.

[0074] Fig. 3 shows a sectional view of the structure of the sliding door 1, which can be manufactured using the drive assembly 5. Here, it can be seen that the guide profile 12 rests on the drive profile 11. It can also be seen that the drive profile 11 is attached to the mounting plate 13. The cover 14 is attached to the drive profile 11 and covers at least the front and bottom sides of the drive profile 11.

[0075] Fig. 4 shows in a purely schematic view the drive assembly elements 10 of the drive assembly 5 separated from one another.

[0076] Accordingly, each of the drive assembly elements 10, i.e., the drive profile 11, the running profile 12, the mounting plate 13, and the cover 14, has an element length 20. This element length 20 is essentially the same for all drive assembly elements 10, but may vary slightly.

[0077] In the exemplary embodiment shown, all four drive assembly elements 10 are divided in their element length 20 into a first drive assembly element part 18 and a second drive assembly element part 19. The first drive assembly element part of the drive profile 11 can also be referred to as the first drive profile part and the second drive assembly element part of the drive profile 11 can also be referred to as the second drive profile part. The first drive assembly element part of the running profile 12 can also be referred to as the first running profile part and the second drive assembly element part of the running profile 12 can also be referred to as the second running profile part. The first drive assembly element part of the mounting plate 13 can also be referred to as the first mounting plate part and the second drive assembly element part of the mounting plate 13 can also be referred to as the second mounting plate part.The first drive assembly element part of the fairing 14 may also be referred to as the first fairing part, and the second drive assembly element part of the fairing 14 may also be referred to as the second fairing part. As explained in the general part of the description, only one or only some of the drive assembly elements 10 may be subdivided accordingly.

[0078] Due to the abutting arrangement, a joint 16 is created between the respective drive assembly element parts 18, 19.

[0079] The individual drive assembly element parts 18, 19 each have a part length 21. The drive assembly elements 10 are divided approximately in half. However, the part lengths 21 may differ slightly from one another, for example, to offset the joints 16 of the drive profile 11 and the mounting plate 13.

[0080] In the embodiment shown, a schematically illustrated sensor unit 17 is located as a further component above the joint 16 of the cladding 14.

[0081] As explained in the general part of the description, the respective drive assembly element parts 18, 19 are designed to be placed against one another. In particular, the cover 14 and / or the drive profile 11 are preferably designed to be connected to one another in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner by means of a connecting part 22.

[0082] Fig. 5 shows, by way of example for the cladding 14, how such a connecting part 22 can be used. Fig. 5 shows that the connecting part 22 overlaps with both drive assembly element parts 18, 19 of the cover 14, which are butted against one another, in the assembled state and is connected to both drive assembly element parts 18, 19, for example screwed or riveted.

[0083] In the embodiment shown, the drive assembly 5 comprises two packages, namely a first drive package 30 and a second drive package 40, see Figures 6 and 7 .

[0084] All drive assembly elements 10 are divided into first drive assembly elements, which include the cover 14, and second drive assembly elements, which include the drive profile 11, the running profile 12 and the mounting plate 13.

[0085] Fig. 6 shows the first drive package 30, in which all first drive assembly elements 31 are located, in this case only the cover 14. The first drive package 30 comprises an outer packaging 60, in the embodiment shown as a cardboard box. Fig. 6 illustrates that the first drive assembly element part 18 of the cover 14 is located next to the second drive assembly element part 19 of the cover 14 in this first drive package 30.

[0086] Fig. 7shows the second drive package 40, which contains all second drive assembly elements. The second drive package 40 also includes a cardboard outer package 60. Fig. 7 shows that for the drive profile, the running profile 12 and the mounting plate 13, the first drive assembly element part 18 is arranged next to the second drive assembly element part 19.

[0087] Furthermore, Fig. 7 schematically that small drive parts 15, such as screws or cables, can also be located in the second drive package 40.

[0088] Fig. 8 shows the two drive packages 30, 40 in perspective view, each with a package length of 62 and a package width of 63. The two drive packages 30, 40 have the same package length 62 and package width 63.

[0089] By arranging the first drive assembly element parts 18 next to the second drive assembly element parts 19, it is achieved that the package length 62 corresponds approximately to the part length 21 and is thus significantly shorter than the element length 20. As in Figure 6 for the cladding 14 and in Figure 7 As shown for the drive profile 11, the respective first and second drive assembly element parts 18, 19 are rotated relative to one another, so that the vertices of the respective first and second drive assembly element parts 18, 19 are each located in opposite corners of the drive packages 30, 40.

[0090] Fig. 8further shows that the two drive packages 30, 40 can be combined to form a package assembly 9. This package assembly 9 is formed by connecting the first drive package 30 and the second drive package 40 with a composite packaging 61. In the exemplary embodiment, the composite packaging 61 comprises packaging tape. Alternatively, a cardboard box and / or a film can be used.

[0091] The construction kit according to the invention, analogous to the first drive package and the second drive package, also comprises a first door package (not shown) and a second door package. The first door package contains the door profiles to be coated. The second door package contains the seals, which are not to be coated. Furthermore, the construction kit also comprises a motor assembly with at least one motor unit and at least one carriage, which are arranged in a separate package (not shown).

[0092] If the sliding door comprises side panels 3, at least a first side package and a second side package are provided. The side panel profiles that are to be coated are arranged in the first side package. The seals that are not to be coated are arranged in the second side package, similar to the first and second drive packages. List of reference symbols
