Description

[0001] The invention relates to a sectional door with an integrated revolving door, with a structure of the sectional door leaf and the revolving door consisting of identical sectional elements which are connected to each other in a synchronous manner and rotatably, wherein the sectional elements are provided with guide rollers on their lateral edges which engage in stationary guide arrangements.

[0002] DE 20 2006 003 330 U1 discloses a sectional door with a vertically opening door leaf and a wicket door. The sectional door leaf consists, in its width, of panels hingedly connected to one another, with a wicket door having a door leaf attached by hinges to each of these panels. The door leaf consists of panel sections extending in the same width direction and hingedly connected to one another, which are flush with the panels of the door leaf. The panels of the door leaf have frame elements at their ends that define the opening of the wicket door. In the closed position of the door leaf, these frame elements form a door frame enclosing the opening. The panel elements of the door leaf have corresponding frame elements at their ends to form a door frame. Furthermore, the door frame and the door frame have frame webs resting on the front surfaces of the panels and the panel elements.The wicket door's pivot points lie in or are adjacent to the plane of the door leaf's front surface when closed, with the hinge pivot axes for the door leaf being located in the plane of the door leaf's front surface and positioned inside the door leaf. Two identical frame elements were used for the wicket door and the door leaf in the design of this sectional door. A swing door extends over several sections and is held in a frame. The swing door is sealed with a simple circumferential seal. Swing doors in door leaves are not entirely without their challenges in their design, as they interrupt the sections and thus alter the initial static conditions for the door leaf.

[0003] A gate with a gate leaf movable between a closed position and an open position and having a plurality of gate leaf elements that can be tilted relative to each other with respect to tilting axes parallel to each other is described in DE 20 2014 001 122 U1, a door integrated in the gate leaf with a door leaf pivotable about a pivot axis extending approximately perpendicular to the tilting axes relative to gate leaf elements adjacent in the direction of the tilting axes, which in its closed position is received in a recess of the gate leaf, preferably arranged approximately in the plane of the gate leaf in the closed position and has a number of door leaf elements that can be tilted relative to each other, 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 fixed to a gate leaf element and / or to the door leaf element with two, three or more in gate or door leaf elements.door leaf thickness direction has successive building elements, at least one of which is designed as an insulating element made of thermally insulating material, in particular plastic.

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

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

[0006] The object of the invention is achieved by the features of claim 1. The dependent claims following claim 1 describe a further embodiment of the inventive concept.

[0007] Increasing the operational reliability of sectional doors with integrated swing doors primarily involves ensuring permanent watertightness while simultaneously providing resistance to wind loads. Watertightness is particularly problematic because gaps inevitably exist between the door leaf sections and those of the swing door. According to the invention, these gaps are sealed by multiple sealing devices in various designs, ensuring absolute tightness between the sectional door sections and the gaps when the swing door is closed. This watertightness is achieved through a combination of operational reliability features. This is accomplished by using different sealing profiles in conjunction with lateral vertical seals on the swing door and sectional door sections. The swing door also incorporates an internal seal.The counterparts of the sectional elements feature two seals in the area between the swing door and the sectional element. To achieve a highly secure external seal, both the swing door's sealing element and the sectional element's sealing element are present on the exterior side. A sealing leg presses against these sealing elements, each of which has a protruding elastic portion, creating a seal when the swing door is closed. Simultaneously, an additional sealing element is inserted between the vertical edge of the swing door and the sectional element of the adjacent door leaf. This element includes a movable, protruding stop leg that presses against a portion of the swing door's end panel, creating a seal on the interior side.

[0008] Since the horizontally aligned section elements are interrupted by the formation of a revolving door, a sealing element is additionally inserted vertically on the outside between the ends of the revolving door and the sectional door. This sealing element is pressed against the outer surfaces of the section elements by the projecting legs of both the revolving door and sectional door ends.

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

[0010] This design does not, however, completely eliminate the need to prevent moisture ingress in the area of ​​the revolving door. An external stop seal is present on the underside of the revolving door, which rests against a sealing element that is integrated with the sectional element, at least in the area of ​​the revolving door. Furthermore, an additional seal is located on the inside of the revolving door between the horizontal lower edge of the door and the horizontally formed sealing element.

[0011] The aforementioned combination of safety features against penetrating moisture also provides protection against wind permeability and heat exchange from the inside to the outside or vice versa.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the vertical terminations of the revolving door and the sectional door panel are made of lightweight metal profiles. In another preferred embodiment, such profiles can also be thermally broken to prevent thermal bridges in this area. This involves interrupting vertical terminations that extend across the entire cross-section of the sectional elements. These interruptions are bridged by insulating strips that are positively and forcefully connected to the existing terminations, thus restoring a rigid structure to the terminations. The sectional elements themselves are already thermally insulated, as they typically 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 and main closing edges of the swing door. The sealing feet are essentially identical in design.

[0014] In a standard design of hinges or straps between the swing door and the sectional door panel, such a design would not achieve the required sealing effect. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, concealed hinges with a projecting and cranked swing-out bracket are used between the sectional elements of the swing door and the sectional elements of the sectional door panel. This swing-out bracket prevents a collision between the projecting end leg in the area of ​​the secondary closing edge and the adjacent sectional element when the swing door is opened.

[0015] Since the manufacture of sectional doors in general, and especially those with swing doors, is subject to large tolerances, the hinges have been designed so that the swing-out bracket is adjustable between its attachment to the swing door and its pivot point within the vertical locking mechanism. This stepless design allows for the compensation of any manufacturing tolerances.

[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 swing door with sections of a sectional door leaf arranged on both sides of it; Figure 2: A detailed view of a bottom end element with a lower vertical end of the swing door; Figure 3: A sectional view through an end area of ​​the swing door and of the door leaf of the sectional door; Figure 4: as Figure 3 , however, in an open position of the revolving door in the area of ​​a hinge design; Figure 5 a detailed view of a vertical end element of the revolving door; Figure 6 a perspective view of a vertical end element of a section element of the sectional door leaf; Figure 7 as Figure 6, however from a different perspective; Figure 8 a perspective view of a hinge used between the entrance revolving door and the sectional door panel; 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 end of the sectional door.

[0017] In the Figure 1A partial view of a sectional door 1 shows a swing door with side sectional elements 13. A sectional element 12 of the same design is shown flush between the sectional elements 13, serving as the door leaf for the swing door. Because the sectional elements 12 and 13 are pivotally connected to each other and are therefore arranged one above the other in the closed position of the sectional door 1, they have a section end 25 on their upper side. The sectional elements 12 and 13 have the same cross-sectional structure, consisting of an insulating layer sandwiched between two outer sheets. This necessitates the arrangement of a first vertical end 21 and a second vertical end 22 on the sides in the area of ​​the swing door.The vertical terminations 21, 22 are attached at least to the surface of the section elements 12, 13, preferably to an interior building area 29.

[0018] The Figure 3 A horizontal section through the revolving door and a side section element 13, showing the vertical terminations 21 and 22 arranged in a gap, is shown, with only one of the two gaps between the section elements 12 and 13 depicted. On the revolving door, the second terminations 22 are connected to the inside of the section element via contact legs 30 on both vertical sides. Opposite the second vertical termination 22, the first termination 21 is also arranged vertically in the vertical area of ​​the section element 13 and has a contact leg 31 that is attached to the inner surface of the section element 13.

[0019] An exemplary training program for the second degree 22 is given by the Figure 5The termination 22 consists of the mounting leg 30, which is connected to the interior 29 of a building by means of a force-fit and form-fit connection to the surface of the section element 12. A second spacer leg 40 is located at a right angle to the mounting leg 30 and serves to abut the vertical cross-sectional side of the section element 12. A further spacer leg 32 runs parallel to the second spacer leg 40 at a distance. Between the spacer leg 32 and the second spacer leg 40, there is an open, continuous shaft 33, which is also used, for example, to drain condensation to the outside of the building. A projecting end leg 71 extends from the end of the second spacer leg 40 towards the outside of the door leaf, essentially at an angle of 90°.Connecting the second distance leg 40 and the distance leg 32 is also a projecting end leg 28 extending in the opposite direction to the end leg 71. The projecting end leg 28 has a sealing wall 34 on its inner side. The end region of the distance leg 32 has a sealing channel 19 formed between the sealing wall 34 and the shaft 33.

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

[0021] The aforementioned first and second vertical terminations 21, 22 are in their function in the Figure 3The assembly is shown in the sectional view. On the left, the end area of ​​the swing door with the main closing edge is depicted. The second vertical end cap 22 is positioned against the cross-sectional surface of the section element 12 and is hinged via the mounting leg 30. There is sufficient space between the projecting end leg 71 of the second vertical end cap 22 and one outer surface 24 of the section element 12 to accommodate a section seal 15. According to the invention, the area between the second vertical end cap 22 and the outer surface 24 of the section element 12, including its gaps, is reliably sealed to ensure effective water management. Such additional sealing against water ingress from outside the sectional door panel has not existed previously. The use of the section seal 15 achieves a highly effective closure of these gaps.The structure of the section seal 15 is essentially determined by a first lateral arm 74 and a second lateral arm 75, as this is the only way to achieve a highly effective, flat fit of the sealing body. The first lateral arm 74 forms a seal located outside the gap, while the second lateral arm 75 extends into the gap between the end legs 20, 71 and the outer surface of the respective section elements. The section seal 15 is held in place by a projection 73 on the connecting legs 20, 71, which engages in a locking receptacle 72 of the section seal 15. This design allows the section seal 15 to be inserted laterally after the first and second vertical end pieces 21, 22 have been installed.

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

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

[0024] To achieve an even more effective seal against drafts or similar issues in the gaps, a further sealing profile 59 is inserted into the sealing channel 70 with its sealing base 18 between the swing door and the adjoining section element 13. Outside the sealing channel 70, the sealing profile 59 has a free stop leg 26. The stop leg 26 rests against an outer wall of the second vertical closure 22 in the form of a stop 27. Thus, it can be stated that sealing arrangements have been implemented both on the exterior of the sectional door 1 with the swing door and on the interior of the building 29. Such a sealing concept differs significantly from prior art sealing methods, which only seal the gap between the swing door and the adjoining section element.The aforementioned design of the sealing of the exterior to the interior of the passage revolving door between the section elements 13 is preferably also implemented in the same way on the upper horizontal side between the passage revolving door and the section element located above it.

[0025] In the lower end area of ​​the swing door, the section element 12 has a sealing profile 10, which is also provided with a retaining seal 3 on its underside. The swing door is sealed to the outside by a stop seal 5. The stop seal 5 is attached in a sealing receptacle 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 sealing element 2. A cavity 6 is also provided between the lowered leg 9 and an inner leg, thus ensuring a secure seal against the sealing element 2 at all times. On the inside, the sealing profile 10 has a sealing receptacle 36 into which a sealing seal 11 penetrates with its foot, while a free leg 4 rests against a top surface of the sealing element 2, sealingly.The upper surface of the end element 2 can be provided with a reinforcing insert 17, which is inserted into recesses 37 within the end element 2. Figure 2 clearly shows that the swing door is also securely sealed at the lower horizontal end by two sealing elements 5, 11. Additionally, the end element 2 is provided on its underside with a contact seal 3, which rests against a floor area (not shown) when the sectional door 1 is closed, thus ensuring a secure seal for the entire sectional door 1.

[0026] In another preferred embodiment, instead of a closing element 2 on the underside of the swing door, a continuous frame of the sectional element 13 is present. In this embodiment, a profile is arranged on the underside of the sectional element 13, which extends across the entire width of the sectional door 1. This profile is attached to the sectional element 13, for example, by a mounting leg 55. The profile has a sealing receptacle 57 on its underside, in which a lower bottom seal 54 with a sealing foot 53 is received. The bottom seal 54 extends across the entire width of the sectional element 13. The bottom seal 54 has a support lip 56 and a channel 44 on its underside. This makes it clear that any water ingress from the outside into the interior of the building 29 is thus virtually completely prevented.

[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 made of aluminum profiles. In this case, 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] To ensure that the swing door is completely sealed against water ingress from the outside when closed, the same vertical secondary closures 22 are used on each side of the swing door. This is particularly important with regard to the laterally projecting end plates 28 and the interacting sealing profiles 58 and 59. Because the projecting end plate 28 is present on the side where the hinges 45 are attached to the section elements 12, 13, it is necessary that the hinges 45 be designed in such a way that the end plate 28 does not warp when the swing door is opened at the secondary closing edge. This embodiment can be particularly advantageous for the Figure 4 can be taken from the figure showing a partial opening of the revolving door with hinge 45 attached between the first and second vertical terminations 21, 22.

[0029] In a perspective single view according to Figure 8For example, such a band 45 is shown. This band 45 essentially consists of two corresponding parts: a mounting flange 47 and a swivel bracket 64. The swivel bracket 64 is mounted via a pivot point 50 located in an 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 secured by means of angled sections 49 with stop bores 68 located on the insert 52. The mounting flange 47 has connecting bores 48 for attaching a rotating part 51 to the second vertical end 22. The mounting flange 47 is also infinitely adjustable to the swivel bracket 64. For this purpose, an angled mounting leg 62 is located on the mounting flange 47, which rests against a mounting leg 63 of the swivel bracket 64.Within the mounting leg 63 is a slotted hole 65 into which adjusting screws 66 engage, which are screwed into the mounting leg 62 via a thread (not shown). After precise adjustment, i.e., the relative position of the mounting legs 62 and 63 to each other, has been achieved, this position is then fixed by locking screws 67.

[0030] One possible use of the version of the band 45 is in an open position of the revolving door of the Figure 9 The band can be removed. Within the end 21, the band receptacle 14, 61 has been milled out in the spacer leg 32. The band 45 is fastened via bores 43.

[0031] As the exemplary embodiment illustrates, such a combination of a sectional door 1 with a swing door is permanently sealed against water masses accumulating from outside the sectional door 1 due to the design features used, while simultaneously reliably withstanding resistance to wind loads because gaps between the door leaf and the swing door are securely closed. Condensation forming inside the sectional door can also be drained to the outside through the shafts 16 and 33. Reference sign
