Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a moving device comprising a mounting profile connected to a single-part or multi-part door, possibly a folding sliding door, vertically aligned and automatically movably held in a door compartment, and in particular to a functional entity, in particular a piece of furniture or a room unit, comprising at least one such moving device. [Background technology]

[0002] To close an opening in a functional unit, such as a piece of furniture, a room unit, a kitchen or a bedroom, single-part or multi-part doors, sometimes folding sliding doors, are often used which are moved into the door compartment of the functional entity after the opening has been released so as not to interfere with the exterior.

[0003] No. 8,336,972 discloses a piece of furniture with a moving device by means of which a mounting profile connected to a one-piece door is movable within a door compartment. The moving device includes a holding device in the form of a scissor cross, by which the mounting profile is movably held in a vertical orientation. The moving device further includes a running rail along which the mounting profile is movably supported by a carriage.

[0004] US9284761 discloses a piece of furniture with a movement device by which a mounting profile connected to a folding sliding door is movable in a door compartment, the folding sliding door comprising two door elements, of which a first door element is connected at its rear by a mounting hinge to the mounting profile and at its front by a door hinge to the rear side of the second door element, the second door element being connected at its front to a running gear movable along a running rail, the running rail having two rail sections aligned perpendicular to each other and interconnected by a curved section, of which the first rail section extends into the door compartment and the second rail section extends along the front of the piece of furniture.

[0005] EP 1 394 349 A1 discloses a movement device for a door element, which is a connectable turntable with a movably mounted mounting profile, which is held perpendicular to the direction of movement by two flexible connecting elements.

[0006] Also known are displacement devices in which a mounting profile connected to a sliding door is automatically displaceable in the door compartment by means of a drive.

[0007] WO2021119696 discloses a guide arrangement for at least one door leaf of a piece of furniture, comprising a guide rail, on which a drive is arranged and by which the door leaf is movable.

[0008] German Utility Model No. 202020107104 discloses a further guide arrangement for at least one door leaf of a piece of furniture, which comprises a drive device comprising a tension cord for driving the movably supported piece of furniture, a tension cord drum for winding and unwinding the tension cord, a spring mechanism for driving the tension cord drum and an adjustment device for adjusting the pretension of the spring mechanism. The adjustment device is integrated in the drive device. Thereby, the manufacture of the drive device is associated with a greater effort. This is particularly important when several drives with different specifications are provided. Furthermore, it should be noted that the adjustment of the pretension requires access to the drive device installed in the piece of furniture. Thereby, the drive device must be properly mounted or an intervention in the piece of furniture is required. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0009] [Patent Document 1] U.S. Patent No. 8,336,972 [Patent Document 2] U.S. Patent No. 9,284,761 [Patent Document 3] European Patent Application Publication No. 1394349 [Patent Document 4] International Publication No. 2021119696 [Patent Document 5] German Utility Model No. 202020107104 Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The present invention is therefore based on the problem of providing an improved moving device comprising a drive device including a tension cord connected to a spring mechanism, by means of which a mounting profile connected or connectable to a single-part or multi-part door can be automatically moved within a door compartment of a functional entity, piece of furniture or room unit.

[0011] Furthermore, the functional entity, piece of furniture or room unit is provided with at least one improved movement device, by means of which a mounting profile connected to a door, possibly a folding sliding door, is automatically movable within the door compartment of the functional entity.

[0012] The displacement device of the invention advantageously makes it possible to adjust the pretension of the spring mechanism by means of an adjustment device so as to affect the displacement of the mounting profile during displacement.

[0013] The drive is cost-effective to manufacture and requires minimal maintenance over a long period of operation.

[0014] The movement device is easily installed and the drive unit with the tension cord can be easily operated.

[0015] The movement device is advantageously adjustable by the technician and the user so that the mounting profile can be driven with a desired force, preferably in an adjustable path. In particular, the movement device is advantageously adaptable to different loads exerted by door elements connected to the mounting profile.

[0016] This problem is solved by a transfer device according to claim 1 and an improved functional entity according to claim 15, which has at least one door compartment in which the transfer device according to claim 1 is arranged. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the further claims.

[0017] The moving device provided for installation in the door compartment of the functional entity is a drive device, which in a preferred embodiment includes a housing, a spring mechanism, a tension cord pulley connected to the spring mechanism, and a tension cord wound around the tension cord pulley and guided to the holding element preferably via at least one deflection pulley; A mounting profile comprising: - the mounting profile is connected or connectable by means of a mounting hinge to a single-part or multi-part door which is vertically aligned and movably held by a holding device, - the mounting profile is connected at its upper end piece to an upper guide carriage movably supported on an upper guide rail and / or at its lower end piece to a lower guide carriage movably supported on a lower guide rail, - the mounting profile connected to the drive device is automatically movable between a rear end position at the rear of the transfer device and a front end position at the front of the transfer device; A mounting profile; and an adjusting device by means of which a pretension in the spring mechanism of the drive device can be set.

[0018] According to the invention, the adjustment device is arranged separately from the drive device and includes an adjustment element, which is rotatable and lockable or movable and lockable, and which cooperates with a tension cord led out from the drive device such that the tension cord can be tensioned from the drive device by rotating or moving the adjustment element to set a corresponding pretension of the spring mechanism (211).

[0019] The adjustment device for setting the pretension is not integral to the drive but is realised by means arranged outside the drive, by means of which the tension cord can be pulled out from the drive or its housing to set a pretension for the spring mechanism, the spring mechanism being thus pretensioned by unwinding the tension cord from the tension cord pulley, rotating the tension cord pulley and correspondingly tensioning the spring mechanism.

[0020] A complex drive with an integrated device for adjusting the pretension is therefore not required, the drive can therefore be designed more simply, more space-savingly and more robustly, and can be manufactured more simply and cheaply, whereby maintenance work and repairs of the drive can usually be avoided even after a long period of operation.

[0021] It is particularly advantageous if the part of the adjustment device to be adjusted can be arranged in a preferably accessible part of the mobile device.

[0022] The range within which the pretension of the spring mechanism can be adjusted is not specified by the manufacturer but can be freely selected for the movement device of the present invention.

[0023] By means of the drive the mounting profile can be automatically moved in one direction towards the front end position or alternatively in the other direction towards the rear end position.

[0024] By pretensioning the spring mechanism, the spring mechanism is acted upon with a higher tension on the tension cord, and the mounting profile is moved with a higher or lower force, for example from a rear end position towards a front end position. The adjustment of the pretension is preferably made taking into account the weight of the door connected to the mounting profile. The adjustment of the desired pretension can be achieved by various means. The adjustment of the pretension can be made in steps, for example by a latching device, or continuously.

[0025] In a first basic embodiment of the invention, an adjustment device is provided with a rotatable adjustment element, i.e. a rotatable tensioning cord drum. In a second basic embodiment of the invention, an adjustment device is provided with a movable adjustment element, i.e. a movable deflection unit.

[0026] The first adjusting device tensions the spring mechanism by shortening the length of the tension cord wound around the tension cord pulley in the drive device and guided to the first adjusting device, whereby the free end of the tension cord leading out from the drive device housing is wound around a rotatable tension cord drum, if desired.

[0027] By means of the second adjusting device, the spring mechanism is tensioned by lengthening or shortening the path along which the tension cord extends from the drive device to the fixed retaining element by moving the deflection unit.

[0028] When the first or second adjustment device is actuated, the tension cord is pulled out or released again from the housing of the drive device to adjust the pretension of the spring mechanism.

[0029] The moving device preferably comprises two adjusting devices, preferably a first adjusting device with a rotatable adjusting element and a second adjusting device with a movable adjusting element. One of the adjusting devices is preferably used for a coarse adjustment of the pretension and the other adjusting device is preferably used for a fine adjustment of the pretension. Preferably, the coarse adjustment of the pretension is performed by the movable adjusting element and the fine adjustment is performed by the rotatable adjusting element.

[0030] In a first basic embodiment of the invention, the first adjusting device is preferably fixed in a front end position of the moving device at the access to the door compartment, the first adjusting device has a housing with a housing chamber in which a tensioning cord drum is mounted so that it can be advantageously rotated about its longitudinal axis, hereinafter called the drum axis, and then locked.

[0031] The locking of the tensioning cord drum can be realized in various ways: Preferably, a locking element is provided on the tensioning cord drum, which can cooperate with at least one counter element in the housing and can be released from one another, for example by axial movement of the tensioning cord drum or by movement of at least one counter element, so that the tensioning cord drum can be rotated.

[0032] Preferably, the upper guide rail is connected at its front end to an upper stop device which determines the front end position of the moving device, or the lower guide rail is connected at its front end to a lower stop device which determines the front end position of the moving device, or the upper guide rail is connected at its front end to an upper stop device and the lower guide rail is connected at its front end to a lower stop device, the upper stop device and the lower stop device determining the front end position of the moving device, the adjustment device being attached to the upper stop device or the lower stop device or being integrated in the upper stop device or the lower stop device. The adjustment device attached to the upper or lower stop device is thus easily accessible to the front side of the furniture piece. The desired pretension of the drive can thus be advantageously adjusted.

[0033] The tensioning cord drum is preferably connected to a tool coupling portion coaxially with the drum axis on a first side, and the tool coupling portion is preferably aligned with the front side of the moving device and thus with the front side of the furniture piece, so that the tool is easily accessible for coupling and rotating or pressing and rotating the tensioning cord drum.

[0034] The housing chamber preferably includes a tool chamber in which the tool coupling part is rotatably and movably held, a locking chamber from which at least one counter element, such as a retaining nose, wing or rib, preferably integrally connected to the housing, protrudes, and a drum chamber in which the tensioning cord drum is rotatably and preferably axially movably held.

[0035] The tensioning cord drum preferably comprises a preferably cylindrical winding body, on which the tensioning cord can be wound, to which a first drum wall is connected on one side and a second drum wall is connected on the other side. The first drum wall is preferably integrally connected to the tool coupling part and preferably to at least one locking element which is rotatable in the locking chamber relative to at least one counter element. The second drum wall is preferably in contact with an elastic element, such as a drum spring, preferably a coil spring, which presses the tensioning cord drum against the locking chamber, so that the at least one locking element is located in the engagement area of ​​the counter element and can only be released from the locking chamber when the tensioning cord drum is axially retracted by applying a counter pressure. Preferably, several cooperating locking elements are provided on the first drum wall and / or several counter elements are provided on the housing, whereby adjustment in correspondingly small steps is possible.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the tensioning cord drum has a threaded rod aligned coaxially with the drum axis adjacent the second drum wall, by which the slider is rotatably held. The adjustment device housing has a bushing chamber in which a bearing bush is held, the bearing bushing having a bushing channel into which the threaded rod projects, in which the slider is axially movable but non-rotatably held, and is movable to an end stop by rotation of the tensioning cord drum in one and / or the other direction.

[0037] Preferably, the slider has at least one slider wing which projects into a bushing slot adjacent to the bushing channel and is movably guided in the bushing slot parallel to the drum axis, so that the slider is not rotatable but is held movably along the bushing slot until it hits a first or second end stop, for example formed by the housing, a part of the bearing bush or possibly an end of the bushing slot or a tensioning cord drum.

[0038] In a further preferred embodiment the housing chamber of the housing is closeable by a cover, preferably complementary to the housing.

[0039] A locking element, such as a mounting fork, can preferably be inserted into the cover, and the tensioning cord drum and the drum spring can be fixed to the cover by the locking element. Thus, the tensioning cord drum and the drum spring can be placed in the cover, fixed by the locking element or the mounting fork, and then easily inserted into the housing of the adjusting device. The locking element or the mounting fork is then removed and the drum spring is actuated. The actuated drum spring then abuts on one side, preferably against the second drum wall, and on the other side, preferably against a part of the housing.

[0040] In a second main embodiment of the invention, the movable adjustment element of the adjustment device is a deflection unit, the deflection unit holds a first deflection pulley through which a tension cord is guided from a drive to a second deflection pulley and then to a fixed holding element; The deflection unit is connected directly or indirectly to the mounting profile, The deflection unit is movably mounted with respect to the drive and to a second deflection pulley which is directly or indirectly connected to one of the mounting profile or the guide carriage.

[0041] The pretension of the spring mechanism is therefore adjustable by moving and locking the deflection unit.

[0042] The tension cord is preferably guided from the housing of the drive to the first deflection pulley and preferably at least approximately parallel to the second deflection pulley again. Preferably, the tension cord extends at least approximately parallel to the mounting profile. Thus, the tension cord extends by a first part preferably parallel to the mounting profile and by a second part preferably parallel to the lower and / or upper guide rail.

[0043] The rotation axes of the first and second deflection pulleys held by the bearing shafts are parallel or inclined, preferably perpendicular to one another, so that the tensioning cord can be guided in a particularly advantageous manner, in particular parallel to the mounting profile and horizontally to the holding element.

[0044] Preferably, the end piece of the tension cord remote from the drive unit or the housing of the drive unit is provided with a coupling portion, hook, anchor, latching element, rod or loop that can be connected, hooked or engaged into the retaining element, thereby allowing the tension cord to be attached in a few simple steps.

[0045] The deflection unit is preferably movably and lockably held in the guide channel of the mounting profile in a snap-in and / or press-fit manner, whereby the deflection unit is preferably movable parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mounting profile and can be fixed in position by a locking device, such as a fixing screw. For example, a part of the body of the deflection unit that corresponds or is complementary to the guide channel positively engages in the guide channel. Due to the length of the guide channel, which preferably extends over the entire length of the mounting profile, there is a correspondingly large adjustment range that can be covered by moving the deflection unit by manual movements.

[0046] The retaining element for the connection of the pulling cord is preferably arranged on a stop device, which is preferably attached to the front side of the upper or lower guide rail and, together with the stop buffer, forms an end stop for the upper or lower guide carriage.

[0047] By providing the stop device with a retaining element for the pulling cord, it is ensured that the pulling cord is guided close to the adjacent guide rail and the space in the door compartment remains largely free. The displacement device according to the invention therefore allows various retaining devices to be advantageously used.

[0048] Regardless of the design of the displacement device according to the invention, the drive is preferably connected to the mounting profile and is movable together with the mounting profile parallel to the guide rail. However, according to the invention it is also possible to mount the drive stationarily and to guide the tension cord to the first or second adjustment device via a deflection pulley provided on the mounting profile.

[0049] The drive is preferably arranged laterally adjacent to the mounting profile or laterally adjacent to one of the guide carriages with respect to the movement axis of the mounting profile or with respect to the drive path of the mounting profile. This arrangement of the drive avoids shortening of the drive path. An additional contribution of the drive housing to the loss of depth of the cabinet body through the mounting profile is avoided.

[0050] The drive device can also be fully or partly integrated into the associated guide carriage, which makes it possible to achieve an even more compact design of the displacement device.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the spring mechanism of the drive is a drive spring, such as a helical or spiral spring, and the tension cord of the drive is wound around a tension cord pulley that is rotatably mounted and connected to the spring mechanism, such that rotation of the tension cord pulley in one direction tensions the spring mechanism and rotation of the tension cord pulley in the other direction releases the movement device. However, with respect to the movement device of the present invention, it is not important how the tension cord is positioned on the drive and how the spring mechanism is designed.

[0052] Preferably, two identically or similarly acting drive devices are provided, which are rigidly connected to one of the mounting profile or the guide carriage and are movable together with the mounting profile, and each drive device has a tension cord which is guided from the associated drive device directly or via a first deflection pulley or via a first deflection pulley and a second deflection pulley to an associated holding element which is fixedly arranged at a front or rear end position of the drive path and connected thereto.

[0053] The use of two, preferably mirror-inverted or symmetrically arranged drives has various advantages. The space requirement of the second drive is therefore also minimal. The drive force of the drive is increased, which allows the mounting profile with the connected door to be moved with higher accelerations. Instead of one larger drive, two smaller drives can also be used, each of which occupies less space and therefore allows a smaller overall drive force, or the movable parts of the moving device to be realized with a smaller cross-section. The space requirement of the moving device in the door compartment can paradoxically be reduced by using two drives. By using two drives, the torque generated by the first drive can also be compensated, which further increases the drive effect.

[0054] The above-mentioned holding device may, for example, be a scissor cross or a parallelogram or, as shown in the example, may comprise two holding ropes, by means of which the mounting profile is held in vertical alignment.

[0055] The movement device according to the invention can be used for any functional entity that relates to a lockable space and that is usually surrounded by a wall or a partition. Since the movement device according to the invention is compact and occupies a small space, the associated door compartment can also be realized with small dimensions, leaving an extended available space for the functional entity. The door compartment can thus accommodate small and large single-part or multi-part doors, possibly folding sliding doors, connected to the mounting profile by means of a mounting hinge.

[0056] A functional entity may have one or more door compartments, for example on both sides of the functional entity, which limit the available space of the functional entity, or may have two sliding devices with single-part or multi-part doors, possibly even folding sliding doors, by means of which the available space of the functional entity can be closed on both sides of the door compartment.

[0057] A functional unit may have a space defined by planks and furniture, in particular cupboards, whereas a functional entity may have a space defined by walls, which may be closed by one-part or multi-part doors, possibly folding sliding doors.

[0058] The installed displacement device is preferably designed in such a way that the actuation of the first and second adjustment device occurs at the front side of the functional entity.

[0059] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0060] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 shows a functional entity 1 of the invention in the form of a piece of furniture comprising a first door compartment 18 in which a mounting profile 14 connected to a folding sliding door 11 is automatically movably held by a moving device 10 according to the invention, and a second door compartment 18 in which a further mounting profile 14 connected to a one-piece door 11 is automatically movably held by a moving device 10 according to the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0061] 1 shows a functional entity or piece of furniture 1 according to the invention in the form of a wardrobe with a door compartment 18 integrated on each side. The piece of furniture 1 comprises a side wall 1A, a top plate 1B, a bottom plate 1C and a partition wall 1D, each partition wall 1D together with the associated side wall 1A defining a door compartment 18. In each door compartment 18 a moving device 10 according to the invention with a mounting profile 14 is arranged, which is automatically movable in the door compartment 18 without an electric drive motor. A door 11 is held by the mounting profile 14 and is retracted into or extended from the associated door compartment 18 when the mounting profile 14 is moved.

[0062] The folding sliding door 11 is held in a first door compartment 18, the folding sliding door 11 having a first and a second door element 111, 112 hinged to each other, whereas the door 11 held in the second door compartment 18 by a mounting profile 14 has only one door element and is therefore designed as a single piece.

[0063] The folding sliding door 11 is fully extended from the first door compartment 18 and fully opened such that the door elements 111, 112 are aligned in one plane. The door elements 111, 112 of the folding sliding door 11 and the door elements of the single-part door 11 are of equal size. Thus, the folding sliding door 11 shown in the closed position covers two-thirds of the cabinet opening 100.

[0064] The rear edge of the first door element 111 of the folding sliding door 11 is connected by a mounting hinge 131 to a symbolically indicated mounting profile 14 which is held in the front end position of the moving device 10 at the exit of the door compartment 18 after the sliding door 11 is pulled out.

[0065] The front edge of the first door element 111 is connected by a door hinge 132 to the rear edge of the second door element 112, whose front edge is connected at the top to a front carriage 5F. The front carriage 5F is guided in a support rail 150. When entering the door compartment 18 and moving along the support rail 150, the front carriage 5F runs in front, whereby a change of direction occurs in the curved section.

[0066] FIG. 2 shows a moving device 10 arranged in a first door compartment 18 of the functional entity 1 of FIG. 1 with a mounting profile 14 connected to a drive device 2 and optionally to an auxiliary drive 9, which is held in vertical alignment by a symbolically shown holding device 4 and is connected to a folding sliding door 11 by a mounting hinge 131.

[0067] The mounting profile 14 is movable along a drive path S between a front end position S1 at the front of the door compartment 18 and a rear end position S2 at the rear of the door compartment 18.

[0068] As shown in Fig. 5, the mounting profile 14 is preferably connected at its upper end piece to an upper guide carriage 5 guided in an upper guide rail 15 and at its lower end piece to a lower guide carriage 6 guided in a lower guide rail 16. The upper guide carriage 5 comprises a support roller 591 and a guide roller 592 and has a support function in addition to a guiding function. The lower guide carriage 6 comprises a lower carriage body 61 with a guide roller 692 guided in the lower guide rail 16.

[0069] In FIG. 2, the upper guide carriage 5 and the lower guide carriage 6 abut against the upper stop device 7 and the lower stop device 8 shown in FIG. 5 at the front end position S1.

[0070] In the rear end position S2, the stop device 90 is provided with a stop plate, which limits the drive path S of the mounting profile 14 at the rear of the door compartment 18.

[0071] The movement device 10 according to the invention comprises a drive 2 with a tension cord 22, which is connected to a spring mechanism 211 in a housing 210 of the drive 2 and is not yet mounted in FIG. 2 . By means of this drive 2, the mounting profile 14 is preferably movable over the entire drive path S. For the adjustment of the pretension in the spring mechanism 211, a first adjustment device 3 and / or a second adjustment device X3 are provided, which will be explained in more detail below. These adjustment devices 3, X3 are arranged outside the housing 210 of the drive 2 and allow the tension cord 22 to be pulled out of the drive 2. The movement device 10 can thus be equipped with a simple and universal drive 2, which has a tension cord 22 with a spring mechanism 211 but does not have an integrated adjustment device.

[0072] An even more advantageous movement of the mounting profile 14 can be achieved if a drive 2 is not only provided at the upper end or upper guide carriage 5 of the mounting profile 14, but also preferably at the lower end or lower guide carriage 6 of the mounting profile 14 with a functionally identical or identical drive 2. It is desirable to first have high acceleration and then to have a smooth movement of the mounting profile 14.

[0073] Optionally, an auxiliary drive 9 is provided for supporting the at least one drive device 2 in the region of the rear end position S2. As soon as the mounting profile 14 is released from the rear end position S2 or from the stop device 90, the mounting profile 14 is additionally accelerated over a comparatively short distance by the auxiliary drive 9. The auxiliary drive 9 realizes a rapid movement sequence: the mounting profile 14 is not moved slowly from the rear end position S2, but rather is rapidly accelerated. The auxiliary drive 9 preferably has an expandable piston 91, which is supported by a spring that stores drive energy.

[0074] Above and below the auxiliary drive 9 there is provided a damping device 99 including a damping piston 991 which is displaced upon collision with the stop device 90 to damp the movement of the mounting profile 14 and avoid noisy collisions.

[0075] Between the two damping devices 99 there is also provided a cyclically acting locking device 95 comprising an actuating rod 952 and a gripper 951 which can cooperate with a fixedly mounted gripping element 96 and which can be cyclically locked and unlocked by pressure exerted by the gripping element 96 on the actuating rod 952 when the rear end position S2 is reached. Thereby, the locking device 95 can be locked by applying manual pressure to the locking device 95 and can be unlocked again by applying further pressure.

[0076] Figure 3 shows part of the displacement device 10 of Figure 2 with the upper end piece of the mounting profile 14 connected to the upper guide carriage 5, which is movably supported on an upper guide rail 15 and connected to the drive device 2.

[0077] By connecting the drive 2 to the mounting profile 14 or the guide carriage 5, it is no longer necessary to attach the drive 2 to the rear wall, the bulkhead 1D or the side wall 1A of the functional entity 1.

[0078] The upper guide carriage 5 comprises a carriage body 51 with a first carriage body part 511 supporting a vertically oriented support roller 591 and a horizontally oriented guide roller 592, and a second carriage body part 512 connected to the mounting profile 14. The two carriage body parts 511, 512 may be integrally connected to each other, but in this embodiment are connected to each other by a coupling part 55. The support roller 591 is supported on a runner element 151 of the upper guide rail 15, and the guide roller 592 is guided in a guide channel 152 of the upper guide rail 15. A buffer or damper 58 is inserted in the carriage body 51. Furthermore, the upper guide carriage 5 comprises a stop member 53, which can cooperate with a buffer or damper 78 in the front stop device 7 (see FIG. 4).

[0079] The mounting profile 14 preferably has a mounting channel 143 in which the mounting hinge 131 is positively held and can be fixed by a locking screw 1311 .

[0080] The drive device 2 comprises a drive unit 21 with a housing 210 in which a spring mechanism 211 is arranged and in which a pulley 212, wound with a tension cord 22 and connected to the spring mechanism 211, is rotatably held. The spring mechanism 211 is preferably a drive spring, for example in the form of a spiral or helical spring, which is tensioned or released when the pulley 212 is rotated. The pulley 212 is a rotating platform mounted by a bearing shaft 215 (shown diagrammatically). The spiral spring mechanism 211 also surrounds the bearing shaft 215 and is rigidly connected to the pulley 212 by a first end piece 2111 and directly or indirectly to the bearing shaft 215 by a second end piece 2112. The bearing shaft 215 is preferably rigidly connected to the housing 210.

[0081] When the tension cord 22 is pulled out, the first end piece 2111 of the spring mechanism 211 is guided around the bearing shaft 215, whereas the second end piece 2112 of the spring mechanism 211 is held firmly. As soon as the tension cord 22 is released again, the pulley 212 is rotated back again by the tensioned spring mechanism 211. When the connecting element 221 at the end of the tension cord 22 is hooked on the retaining element 72, for example in the front end position S1, and the mounting profile 14 is retracted into the door compartment 18, the tension cord 22 is pulled out of the drive unit 21, the cord pulley 212 is rotated and the spring mechanism 211 is tensioned. When the mounting profile 14 then reaches the rear end position S2, the mounting profile 14 can be locked with the locking device 95. As soon as this locking device is released, the cord pulley 212 is rotated back by the spring mechanism 211, the tension cord 22 is retracted again and the mounting profile 14 is moved from the rear end position S2 to the front end position S1. Thus, the door 11 connected to the mounting profile 14 is automatically pulled out of the door compartment 18.

[0082] The tension cord 22 can be pulled out from the drive device 2, if necessary, by means of a first adjusting device 3 according to Fig. 4 and / or by means of a second adjusting device X3 according to Fig. 5, in order to tension the spring mechanism 211. The two adjusting devices 3, X3 can be used individually or in combination.

[0083] Figure 4 shows the movement device 10 of Figure 2 with the upper guide carriage 5 and the drive device 2 according to Figure 3. The mounting profile 14 is movable between a front end position S1 and a rear end position S2. The front end position S1 is reached when the stop member 53 of the guide carriage 5 strikes a stop damper or stop buffer 78 in the front stop device 7, which is preferably adjustable to set the front end position S1. The mounting profile 14 is preferably pulled by the drive device 2 over the entire movement path from the rear end position S2 to the front end position S1.

[0084] The tension cord 22 is guided from the drive 2 through a first deflection pulley 231 and further pulleys 232 and 233 to a first adjustment device 3 mounted on the upper front stop 7. As will be explained below with reference to FIG. 5, the first deflection pulley 231 can be part of an optionally provided second adjustment device X3, for example, provided for a coarse adjustment of the pretension of the drive 2. For this purpose, the first deflection pulley 231 is held movably and lockably along the mounting profile 14, which is symbolized by a dash-dotted arrow. By moving the first deflection pulley 231, the length of the path along which the tension cord 22 runs can be lengthened or shortened. The first adjustment device 3 on the one hand comprises a rotatable and lockable tension cord drum 33 (see FIG. 9), on which the remote end of the tension cord 22 can be wound. A screwdriver T is shown which is inserted into the front side of the first adjusting device 3 in order to release the tensioning cord drum 33 and rotate it as required.

[0085] The first adjusting device 3 will be explained in more detail below with reference to the other figures.

[0086] The preferably provided holding device 4, which comprises two holding cables 421, 422, is explained in more detail below with reference to figure 5. However, in all embodiments of the invention, any holding device 4 can be used with the inventive movement device 10, which is able to hold the mounting profile 14 vertically aligned and moveably.

[0087] 5 shows the transfer device 10 of FIG. 2 with the holding device 4 of FIG. 4 and with a mounting profile 14 connected to a drive device 2, from which the tension cord 22 is guided through a second adjustment device X3 including a first deflection pulley 231 and through a second deflection pulley 232 to a holding element 72 held on the upper front stop device 7. As already shown in FIG. 4, the front stop device 7 can also be additionally provided with a first adjustment device 3, as symbolically shown in FIG. 5.

[0088] The second adjustment device X3 comprises a deflection unit X33, which is movable and lockable along the mounting profile 14 and is provided with a first deflection pulley 231. The deflection unit X33 is held in a snap-in manner in a guide channel 141 of the mounting profile 14, is movable along the mounting profile 14 and can be snap-in and / or press-fit locked in position by a locking device, preferably a screw X32. The locking device can also be designed as a latching device and for example has a latching tongue, which is connected to the deflection unit X33 and can engage with a latching or sawtooth shape provided along or machined into the mounting profile 14.

[0089] By moving the deflection unit X33 along the mounting profile 14, the path from the tension cord pulley 212 to the second deflection pulley 232 can be lengthened or shortened. By lengthening this path, a corresponding length of the tension cord 22 is withdrawn from the drive unit 21, the tension cord pulley 212 is rotated in the drive 2 and the spring mechanism 211 is correspondingly pretensioned. This adjustment can be easily performed in a few steps.

[0090] 5 also shows the preferably provided holding device 4, which comprises two holding cables 421, 422. An upper stop device 7 in front of the upper guide rail 15 and a lower stop device 8 in front of the lower guide rail 16 are connected to the corresponding upper or lower guide rail 15, 16 by means of mounting beams 711, 811 and tightening screws 712.

[0091] The upper front stop device 7 comprises a retaining element 72 for fixing the tension cord 22, a cable connection device 74 for the second retaining cable 422, a rotating lever 75, a stop damper 78 and possibly mounting means for mounting the first adjusting device 3, if present. The rotating lever 75 serves to hold the mounting profile 14 in the front end position S1. The upper cable connection device 74 comprises a mounting channel with adjacent recesses into which the end pieces of the upper retaining cable 422 can be inserted.

[0092] The second retaining cable 422 is held firmly by a cable connection device 74 of the upper stop device 7, while the cable connection device 84 of the lower stop device 8 comprises a setting sledge 842 which is movably mounted and adjustable by means of a setting screw 845. The setting screw 845 and the setting sledge 842 form a setting device 840. By manipulating the setting screw 845, the first retaining cable 421 can be tightened or loosened and the mounting profile 14 can be vertically aligned.

[0093] The holding device 4 comprises a first front cable connection device 84, a first lower roller unit 431 arranged at the lower end of the mounting profile 14, a first upper roller unit 411 arranged at the upper end of the mounting profile 14 and a first rear cable connection device 44 arranged at the rear end of the upper guide rail 15, wherein a first holding cable 421 is connected to the first front cable connection device 84 by a first end piece, guided counterclockwise around the first lower roller unit 431 and guided clockwise around the first upper roller unit 411 and connected to the first rear cable connection device 44 by a second end piece.

[0094] Further, the holding device 4 includes a second front cable connection device 74, a second upper roller unit 412 arranged at the upper end of the mounting profile 14, a second lower roller unit 432 arranged at the lower end of the mounting profile 14, and a second rear cable connection device 45 arranged at the rear end of the lower guide rail 16, and the second holding cable 422 is connected to the second front cable connection device 74 by a first end piece, passes clockwise around the second upper roller unit 412 and counterclockwise around the second lower roller unit 432 and is connected to the second rear cable connection device 45 by a second end piece.

[0095] Figure 6a shows the upper front stop device 7 of Figure 4 and the first adjusting device 3 connected to it from the rear side. In this embodiment the first adjusting device 3 is not integrated in the stop device 7 but attached to its underside. The tensioning cord 22 passes through a third deflection pulley 233 held by the stop device 7, through the device body 71 of the stop device 7 and is guided downwards into the housing 38 of the first adjusting device 3, which can be closed by a cover 39 (see Figure 6b).

[0096] Alternatively, the first adjusting device 3 can be integrated into the associated stop device 7 or 8. In these embodiments, the housing 38 of the first adjusting device 3 forms an integral part of the device body 71 or 81 of the associated stop device 7 or 8. On the one hand, this embodiment has the advantage that the first adjusting device 3 can be removed and / or operated and maintained in a simple manner, in particular in the case of a sliding device 10 which does not yet have a drive device 2.

[0097] Fig. 6b shows the upper stop device 7 of Fig. 6a and the first adjusting device 3 connected thereto with the cover 39 removed from the front side of the housing 38 from which the first adjusting device 3 can be adjusted. The housing 38 of the first adjusting device 3, which is connected to the device body 71 of the stop device 7 by means of mounting and connecting elements 372, such as connecting screws or press pins, comprises a housing chamber 380 in which a rotatable adjusting element or tension-tension cord drum 33 is supported so as to be rotatable about the drum axis x (see Fig. 7a) and movable along the drum axis x by the required amount.

[0098] The tensile cord 22 is guided through a third deflection pulley 233 to the tensile cord drum 33 and is connected to the tensile cord drum 33. In this preferred embodiment, the tensile cord drum 33 comprises a holding element 339, to which an end piece 221 (see FIG. 3) of the tensile cord 22 can be connected. The end piece 221 is, for example, a connecting rod or a connecting anchor, which is preferably guideable through a connecting channel 338 in the tensile cord drum 33 and can be connected to the holding element 339. Preferably, the holding element 339 is formed as a recess, in which the end piece 221 can be fixed (see FIG. 7a).

[0099] At the front side, the tensioning cord drum 33 is preferably connected in one piece to a tool coupling part 31 arranged coaxially with respect to the drum axis x. At the rear side, the tensioning cord drum 33 is held by a bearing bush 34 which is rotatable and movable along the drum axis x. The tensioning cord drum 33 is rotatably and movably mounted by the tool coupling part 31 on the one hand in the tool chamber 3801 of the housing 38 (see FIG. 7b) and on the other hand in the bearing bush 34 (see FIG. 8).

[0100] At the front side of the tensioning cord drum 33, a locking element 32 is also provided, which can cooperate with at least one counter element 383 (see FIG. 7b) at the inner wall of the housing 38 in order to prevent the adjusted tensioning cord drum 33 from rotating automatically. In order to adjust the tensioning cord drum 33, the locking element 32 of the tensioning cord drum 33 and the at least one counter element 383 (see FIG. 7b) provided in the locking chamber 3802 of the housing 38 must be separated from each other.

[0101] The bearing bush 34 is preferably held in the housing 38 so that it cannot be moved or rotated. By means of the drum spring 35, the tensioning cord drum 33 is pressed away from the bearing bush 34 with a force vector running parallel to the drum axis x, so that the locking element 32 provided in front of the tensioning cord drum 33 can interact with the counter element 383. The tensioning cord drum 33 must therefore be moved axially relative to the bearing bush 34, so that the locking element 32 is separated from the counter element 383, allowing the tensioning cord drum 33 to rotate and the pretension in the drive 2 to be adjusted (see also FIG. 7a).

[0102] Thus, after coupling the tool to the tool coupling part 31, the tensioning cord drum 33 is first moved axially relative to the bearing bush 34 in order to separate the locking element 32 from the counter element 383 and then rotated, if necessary, in order to wind up the tensioning cord 22 and adjust the pretension in the drive 2. After adjusting the pretension, the tool is retracted, whereby the tensioning cord drum 33 is moved axially back by the drum spring 35, so that the locking element 32 and the counter element 383 engage with each other again and the tensioning cord drum 33 is fixed with the adjusted pretension.

[0103] The "snail" and "rabbit" designs on the front side of the first adjusting device, adjacent to the tool coupling portion 31, symbolize that the pretension can be increased by rotating the tensioning cord drum 33 counterclockwise and decreased by rotating the tensioning cord drum 33 clockwise to set the desired acceleration and movement speed of the mounting profile 14.

[0104] A locking element in the form of a mounting fork 399 is inserted into the cover 39, which is complementary to the housing 38, so that the tensioning cord drum 33, the bearing bush 34 and the drum spring 35 are fixed to the cover 39 and mounted in a simple manner. The mounting fork 399 presses the drum spring 35 against the tensioning cord drum 33 and holds it in place, so that the assembled assembly 33, 34, 35 can be conveniently inserted into the housing 38. For actuation of the first adjusting device 3, the mounting fork 399 is removed and the drum spring 35 is actuated, which then preferably rests against a part of the housing 38, such as the retaining wall 382 (see FIG. 7b).

[0105] FIG. 6c shows the front stop device 7 and the connected first adjustment device 3 of FIG. 6a in a cross-sectional view.

[0106] A third deflection pulley 233 is shown rotatably mounted in the device body 71 of the stopping device 7. A stopping buffer 78 having a buffer body 781 is axially adjustably mounted in the device body 71 by means of an adjustment screw 782.

[0107] The tension cord drum 33 reveals a transmission channel 338 through which the end piece 221 of the tension cord 22 passes. The mounting fork 399 has not yet been removed, and therefore the drum spring 35 has not yet been activated.

[0108] The bearing bush 34 has a bushing sleeve 341 and is fixedly secured in a bushing anchor 342 in the housing 38 of the first adjusting device 3. A slider 36 is provided in the bushing sleeve 341 and is movable axially during the rotation of the pulling cord drum 33 between a rear end stop, preferably formed by the rear side wall 381 of the housing 38 or a part of the bearing bush 34, preferably by means of a threaded rod 334 (see FIG. 8) connected to the pulling cord drum 33, and a front end stop, preferably formed by a part of the pulling cord drum 33. The number of rotations of the pulling cord drum 33 in one direction and in the other direction is therefore limited.

[0109] FIG. 6d shows the upper stop device 7 and the connected first adjustment device 3 of FIG. 6b in a cross-sectional view.

[0110] Between the housing 38 and the device body 71 a free space is maintained, into which a locking lever 75 (see FIG. 5) can be inserted (not shown), supported by a partly exposed lever spring and fixed by a screw, by means of which the mounting profile 14 can be fixed to the stopping device 7.

[0111] Figure 7a shows the first adjusting device 3 of figure 6b without the cover 39. It is shown that the tensioning cord drum 33 has a winding body 333 to which a first drum wall 331 is connected at the front and a second drum wall 332 is connected at the rear, the winding body 333 being provided with a transmission channel 338 and a moulded retaining element 339.

[0112] It is further shown that the bearing bush 34 has a bushing slot 3410 on the opposite side of the bushing sleeve 341, which is exposed to the outside in a first part and covered in a larger cylindrical part. The slider wing 361 of the slider 36 is guided in the bushing slot 3410 such that the slider 36 is axially movable but cannot rotate. The slider 36 is movable through the entire bushing sleeve 341 between the second drum wall 332 of the tensioning cord drum 33 and the front side wall 381 of the housing 38. After the slider 36 has reached the second drum wall 332 on the one side or the side wall 381 of the housing 38 on the other side, the tensioning cord drum 33 can no longer be rotated, whereby the pretension of the drive device 2 can only be adjusted within a predetermined range, which is preferably determined by the second adjusting device X3.

[0113] FIG. 7a further shows that four locking elements 32 are arranged on the first drum wall 331 at equal distances from each other. The locking elements 32 are wing- or rib-like, extend radially outwardly concentrically with respect to the drum axis x and are preferably integrally connected to the tool connection part 31 and / or the pulling cord drum 33. The pulling cord drum 33 can thus be adjusted and locked in a quarter turn. After adjustment and locking of the pulling cord drum 33, the pulling cord drum 33 is held against rotation in one direction by the pulling force of the pulling cord 22 and against rotation in the other direction by the locking elements 32 and the counter-element 383.

[0114] The second drum wall 332 is in contact with the drum spring 35, which is still held by the mounting fork 399 and is not actuated.

[0115] FIG. 7a further shows a bolt 371 by means of which the cover 39 can be fixed and a connecting element 372 by means of which the housing 38 of the first adjusting device 3 can be connected, for example, to the device body 71, 81 of the upper or lower stop device 7, 8.

[0116] Fig. 7b shows the housing 38 of the adjusting device 3 of Fig. 7a, in which the housing chamber 380 is visible. The housing chamber 380 comprises a tool chamber 3801, in which the tool coupling part 31 is rotatably and movably held, a locking chamber 3802, into which the counter element 383 projects, a drum chamber 3803, in which the tension cord drum 33 is rotatably and movably held, a bushing chamber 3804, in which the bearing bush 34 is held, and an anchor chamber 3805. At the transition between the drum chamber 3803 and the bushing chamber 3804 a retaining wall 382 occurs, against which the drum spring 35 rests after activation or removal of the mounting fork 399.

[0117] 8 shows in an exploded view the tensioning cord drum 33, the bearing bush 34, the drum spring 35 and the slider 36 aligned along the drum axis x, and the cover 39. The tensioning cord drum 33 comprises a winding body 333, a first drum wall 331 integrally connected to the locking element 32 and the tool coupling part 31, and a second drum wall 332 integrally connected to a threaded rod 334 aligned coaxially with the drum axis x.

[0118] The bearing bush 34 has a bushing channel 340 which passes through the bearing bush 34 from front to rear up to the bushing anchor 342 which is extended on both sides by bushing slots 3410. The bushing channel 340 extends through the bushing anchor 342 and the housing 38 forms an end stop. However, in a preferred embodiment the bearing bush 34 forms this end stop, at which the bushing anchor 342, for example, forms a closed plate which closes the bushing channel 340 on one side. In this embodiment the slider 36 can therefore only be inserted into the bearing bush 34 from the side of the bushing channel 340 facing the tensile cord drum 33.

[0119] A slider 36 having a threaded hole 360 ​​and two outwardly facing slider wings 361 is screwed onto the threaded rod 334. The threaded rod 334 with the slider 36 is inserted into the bushing channel 340 such that the bushing wings 361 are guided in the bushing slots 3410. The slider 36 can also be inserted into the bushing channel 340 from one or the other side and then connected to the threaded rod 334 of the tensile cord drum 33.

[0120] The cover 39 is complementary to the housing 38 and includes a tool chamber cover portion 391, a locking chamber cover portion 392, a drum chamber cover portion 393, a bushing chamber cover portion 394 and a mounting hole 390 for inserting a mounting fork 399. The first drum wall 331 preferably abuts a wall piece 395 which forms a transition between the anchor chamber cover portion 392 and the drum chamber cover portion 393 when mounting the tension cord drum 33, the bearing bushing 34 and the drum spring 35 held by the mounting fork 399.

[0121] FIG. 9 shows the first adjusting device 3 of FIG. 4 during an adjustment step, in which a tool symbolized by an arrow is connected to the tool coupling part 31, the tensioning cord drum 33 is moved relative to the bushing sleeve 34, and the drum spring 35 is correspondingly compressed in order to release the locking element 32 from engagement with the counter element 383 (see FIG. 7b). In this position, the tensioning cord drum 33 can be rotated until the slider 36 strikes on the one side against the stop member of the bearing bush 34 or the rear side wall 381 of the housing 38 or on the other side against the second drum wall 332 of the tensioning cord drum 33. After setting the desired pretension of the drive 2 or the drive spring 211, the tool is retracted. During this step, the tensioning cord drum 33 is pushed back by the drum spring 35 until the locking element 32 reengages in the locking chamber 3802 and the tensioning cord drum 33 is locked.

[0122] FIG. 10 shows the auxiliary drive 9 of FIG. 2, which is held by the mounting profile 14 and cooperates with a rear stop device 90 after the sliding door 11 has been pushed into the door compartment 18. The auxiliary drive 9 comprises a housing 93 and at least one extendable piston 91, which is supported by a spring element 92 and which engages with the stop device 90 after the mounting profile 14 has entered the door compartment 18. As soon as the mounting profile 14 moves towards the rear end position S2 in the door compartment 18, the spring element 92 of the auxiliary drive 9 is tensioned. After reaching the rear end position S2, the spring element 32 of the auxiliary drive 9 is loaded and can support the drive device 2 at the start of the departure of the mounting profile 14 towards the front end position S1.

[0123] Furthermore, the mounting profile 14 is connected to a cyclically actuated locking device 95 comprising an actuating rod 952 and a gripper 951, which cooperates with a fixedly mounted gripping element 96 and is cyclically lockable and releasable by pressure on the actuating rod 952. A first movement of the actuating rod 952, which is arranged in the device housing 953 and supported by a spring, closes the gripper 951, and a second movement of the actuating rod 952 reopens the gripper 951. The actuating rod 952 is preferably arranged coaxially with respect to the central axis of the gripper 951, so that it can be actuated by the gripping element 96, which is gripped and released by the gripper 951. The gripping element 96 is arranged in a stop plate of a stop device 90, which is attached to an intermediate wall 1D of the functional entity 1. The movement path of the actuating rod 952 is indicated by a dotted line. Just before reaching the rear end position S2, the actuating rod 952 collides with the gripping element 96 and is pushed back by it, thereby actuating the gripping device 95 and coupling it to the gripping element 96.

[0124] Furthermore, a damping device 99 is provided which comprises a damping piston 991 which impacts against a stop plate of the stop device 90 as soon as the mounting profile 14 reaches the rear end position S2. [Explanation of symbols]
