Description

[0001]Sliding Door Assembly with a Linear Motor Device. The invention relates to a sliding door assembly with a linear motor device. Sliding door assemblies comprise at least one sliding door, which is often suspended from two carriages guided in a track. The track is fixedly mounted to a ceiling or wall by means of mounting screws or detachably mounted to a mounting rail by means of a fastening device, which in turn is fixedly mounted to a ceiling or wall. Devices for connecting a sliding door, for example, a sliding door with a wooden panel or glass panel, to a carriage are known from US6438795, US6418588B1, US6052867A, and US9341011B2. US20080209813A1 discloses a sliding door assembly with a sliding door that is held slidably by means of magnetic force. US20100139172A1 discloses a linear motor device for a sliding door assembly comprising a sliding door,which is movable along a guide rail by means of two carriages. This linear motor device comprises a stator part held in the guide rail and rotor parts, each connected to a carriage. EP3702569B1 discloses a linear motor device with a control arrangement located between two stator parts. The construction of linear drives or linear motors, which in their construction correspond to an unwound electric motor, is known, for example, from US20090256428A1. US20090195195A1 discloses that Hall sensors can be used to determine the position of the rotor parts of the linear motor device. US5712516A discloses a sliding door device with a complexly designed linear motor that has a stator part with electrical coils and a rotor part with magnets. The magnets simultaneously serve to lift the sliding door and are arranged in a retaining profile.which extends along the top edge of the sliding door. The stator part extends across the width of the door frame and has a correspondingly high number of stator magnets. HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 US20050235567A1, based on the teaching of US5712516A, discloses a stabilization for a guide carriage of a sliding door driven by a linear motor. The guide carriage includes a support rail designed as a hollow box profile, which has an upwardly open C-shaped groove on its upper surface in which magnet carriers are held. The magnet carriers, aligned in a plane parallel to the sliding door, extend into a receiving space of the stator part, which extends along the door frame. The rotor part connected to the sliding door is significantly shorter than the stator part attached to the door frame.which includes numerous electrical coils and is therefore designed in a correspondingly complex and costly manner. EP2476842A2 discloses a sliding door arrangement with a linear motor device and sliding doors, each of which is held movable by a drive unit. Each of the drives comprises a one-piece drive body extending along the top edge of the sliding door, on which a series of magnets are arranged, forming a runner section.which is fully integrated into the drive mechanism. Therefore, for sliding doors of different widths, drives with appropriate dimensions must be provided. Alternatively, the sliding door arrangement must be adapted to the available drives. Providing drives of different dimensions is very costly. However, limiting the sliding door arrangements to drives with predetermined dimensions is undesirable. US20100139037A1 discloses a sliding door arrangement with a linear motor device and a sliding door that is slidably held by two drives. The two carriages are equipped with magnets and form the rotor parts of the linear motor device. The magnets are connected to the one-piece drive body of the drives by gluing or potting. To ensure that at least one of the rotor parts is in contact with the stator part,The stator section must extend over a substantial portion of the traffic path. Therefore, this sliding door arrangement requires an elongated stator section comprising numerous stator magnets, which necessitates a correspondingly high manufacturing effort. The present invention is thus based on the objective of providing an improved sliding door arrangement with an improved linear motor device by means of which at least one sliding door can be moved automatically. HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 The sliding door arrangement and the linear motor device should be cost-effective to implement. The linear motor device, which comprises at least one stator section and at least one rotor section,The linear motor should have an advantageous design and be optionally scalable or dimensionally adjustable. In particular, simple and cost-effective stator components should be usable. The sliding doors should be able to be moved powerfully over the widest possible range by means of the linear motor device, without requiring a long stator section. The stator and rotor sections should be designed and dimensioned in such a way that the linear motor device can be implemented cost-effectively even at the maximum travel width of the sliding door. The linear motor device should be easily integrated into sliding door assemblies that have one or more sliding doors with different dimensions. The adaptation of the linear motor device to the respective dimensions and properties of the sliding door assemblies should be easily carried out on-site by installation personnel.For example, sliding doors with a wooden panel or a glass panel should be easy to install regardless of the existing mounting devices. The sliding doors should also be easy to install even if the track runs into a door recess, such as a wall pocket, and even if only a small amount of space is available for mounting the sliding door. The linear motor device should have a simple operating device that takes up little space, is easy to operate, and is advantageously integrated into the sliding door assembly and easily accessible to users or installation personnel. This problem is solved with a sliding door assembly according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in further claims. The sliding door assembly comprises at least one sliding door that is slidable along a track, a linear motor device that includes a control device, a stator part,and comprises a runner part, as well as at least one drive mechanism, wherein HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 - the drive mechanism is slidably mounted in the guide rail and has a drive body that is connected to the sliding door; - the stator part is arranged in the guide rail and is electrically connected to the control device; - the runner part is connected to the drive body and holds a plurality of individual runner magnets facing the stator part. According to the invention, it is provided that - the drive mechanism is modular in design and its length is adaptable to the dimensions of the associated sliding door; - the drive body is modular and has at least two drive body modules, at least one of which is detachable from or connectable to the drive mechanism; - the runner part is modular and has at least two runner modules,of which at least one is detachable from or connectable to the drive; - that the length of one or more interconnected detachable drive body modules corresponds to the length of one or more interconnected detachable runner modules; - that the drive body modules and the runner modules are positively interlockable; and - that connecting means are provided by means of which the at least one detachable drive body module and the at least one detachable runner module can be connected to or detached from the drive. The sliding door arrangement according to the invention can be equipped with a cost-effective linear motor device that has a stator section of only a short length. The stator section therefore does not have to extend over the entire traffic path, but only over a relatively small part of it. Preferably, only one drive with a runner section is provided, the length of which is selected such thatthat the rotor part always remains in contact with the stator part and the drive of the sliding door is always secured. The stator part can therefore be equipped cost-effectively with a relatively small number of electromagnets and used for HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 sliding door assemblies with dimensions that differ significantly from one another. The adaptation of the linear motor device to the dimensions of the sliding door assembly is achieved by appropriately dimensioning the carriage and the rotor part, which can be advantageously carried out. During installation of the sliding door assembly, a preferably uniform stator part can therefore be inserted into the guide rail or into a stator channel of the guide rail, and at least one appropriately dimensioned carriage can be inserted into the guide rail or into a guide channel of the guide rail. It is therefore not necessary toThe manufacturer can provide a suitably configured linear motor unit for each sliding door assembly or adapt the dimensions of the sliding door assembly to the respective dimensions of a linear motor unit. The cost of extending a drive unit by fitting the associated rotor section with magnets is significantly lower than the cost of extending the stator section accordingly. The modular drive unit can therefore be configured according to the width of the sliding door it is intended to support. For example, the modular drive unit is supplied according to the maximum width of a sliding door that a user might use. If the user wishes to install a narrower sliding door in the sliding door assembly,This allows the drive to be shortened by detaching one or more drive body modules and one or more runner modules from the drive. The removed drive body module(s) correspond in length to the removed runner module(s). In preferred embodiments,Especially for longer traffic routes, the length of the running gear with the runner section is preferably chosen to be greater than the width of the sliding door. The length of the at least one detachable running gear body module and the length of the at least one detachable runner module are preferably equal, or preferably in an integer ratio to each other, or have a common multiple. The running gear body modules and / or the runner modules can therefore be provided with a uniform length or different lengths and assembled accordingly. Corresponding running gear body modules and runner modules can be designed as desired.be connectable to each other or also separable from each other. HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 Preferably, the length of one detachable drive body module or all detachable drive body modules corresponds exactly to the length of one detachable runner module or all detachable runner modules. In a preferred embodiment, the at least one detachable drive body module and the at least one detachable runner module form a unit and thus a complete drive module with a drive body module and a runner module (see Fig. 8b) and can be connected to or detached from the drive as a unit. In further preferred embodiments, the at least one detachable drive body module and the at least one detachable runner module can be connected to or detached from the drive independently of each other. This embodiment has the advantage thatthat the detachable bogie body modules and the detachable runner modules can be selectively connected to one another and arranged in particularly advantageous positions. Furthermore, it is advantageous that the bogie body modules on the one hand and the runner modules on the other can each be connected to one another by particularly advantageous connecting means. The bogie body modules can, for example, be advantageously connected to one another by screw connections, while the runner modules can be advantageously connected to one another by positive-locking connections with complementary form elements. During assembly of the bogie, for example, the bogie body modules are connected to one another first, and only then the runner modules.or vice versa. The drive body modules and the runner modules can also be connected to each other alternately. In preferred embodiments, the runner part is positively connected or positively connected and slidably connected to the drive body. The runner part preferably comprises a modular coupling rail which is positively connected, slidably and lockably held in an anchor profile of the drive body. In this particularly advantageous embodiment, the modular drive body, optionally with already separated drive body modules, and the modular runner part, optionally with already separated runner modules, mutually support each other. This significantly facilitates the manipulation of the drive body modules and the runner modules. Since the drive body modules are held by the coupling rail,Screw connections between the drive unit modules can be easily loosened and tightened. HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 In preferred embodiments, the coupling rail has a connecting profile, for example a T-profile or double-T-profile, and the drive unit has an anchor profile in which the connecting profile, and thus the coupling rail, is axially displaceable. If the runner modules can be positively connected to one another by a movement that is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drive unit, the connected runner modules are not detachably held from one another within the anchor profile. Only after the runner modules have been pulled out of the anchor profile can they be detached perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the drive unit and from each other. The connection of the runner modules is preferably effected by mutually complementary shaped elements.which can be interlocked inclined or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the drive unit. Preferably, the coupling rail comprises a support plate, an intermediate plate with reduced width, and an anchor plate, forming a T-profile or double-T-profile which, due to the reduced width of the intermediate plate, has a retaining groove on both sides. The support plate, located outside the drive unit body, carries the runner magnets, and the anchor plate is slidably and lockably held in the anchor profile of the drive unit body. The anchor profile preferably encloses a T-profile-shaped opening suitable for the positive-locking reception of the anchor plate. The support plate, the intermediate plate, and the anchor plate can be integrally connected and only virtually separated from each other, and can, for example, be manufactured from a single workpiece. The support plate is particularly advantageous if...The coupling rail, preferably made of metal or plastic, the intermediate plate, preferably made of metal or plastic, and the anchor plate, preferably made of metal or plastic, are provided as separate elements, for example, each stamped from a sheet metal piece or manufactured using an extrusion process, and connected to each other, for example, by a positive fit, screws, or an adhesive. In preferred embodiments, the coupling rail, preferably the anchor plate, has at least one tapered section at which the at least one detachable drive body module can be decoupled from or coupled to the coupling rail. One or more tapered sections can be provided at any point along the coupling rail or along the anchor plate. If a tapered section is provided, for example, in the middle of the anchor plate HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25,A drive unit module can therefore be decoupled from the anchor plate at this point. Subsequently, at least one of the drive unit modules adjacent to the resulting gap is moved against the other drive unit module to close the gap. As the remaining drive unit modules are pushed against each other, an end piece of the runner section protrudes from the anchor profile on one side of the drive unit. Preferably, detachable runner modules are therefore provided at an end piece of the runner section or the coupling rail so that they can be easily separated. One or more detachable drive unit modules are thus preferably arranged between two drive unit modules that are not intended to be detached from the drive unit and can be connected to the associated sliding door, for example, by means of mounting devices. The detachable drive unit modules are therefore preferably not located at one end or at both ends of the drive unit.but rather between two drive body modules, which preferably remain permanently connected to the drive. The drive body modules that normally remain connected to the drive are only replaced when other mounting devices are used and these necessitate the replacement. To connect the individual drive body modules to one another, the modular drive body has a mounting channel on the side facing away from the runner section, which preferably runs through all drive body modules. The mounting channel is designed to receive the connecting elements by means of which the drive body modules can be connected to one another. Furthermore, mounting elements, such as mounting plates, can be inserted into the mounting channel; these are provided, for example, for connecting the mounting devices by means of which the drive is connected to the associated sliding door. The connecting elements,The connecting elements by which the drive body modules and / or the runner modules can be connected to one another can be of any design and preferably include complementary shaped elements and / or screw connections and / or locking elements. Preferably, the drive body modules are connected to one another by screw connections which, for example, have a tab that engages on both sides in adjacent drive body modules and can be fixed there by screws. The connecting means can also include locking elements that allow the drive body modules to be assembled particularly easily (HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25). For example, instead of a short tab that can engage in adjacent drive body modules (see Fig. 8a) and is screwed in there, a longer tab can be provided that overlaps several or all detachable drive body modules and is secured by screws and / or complementary locking elements, such as sawtooth shapes or triangular shapes, which interlock with each other.with the overlapping drive body modules. In further preferred embodiments, locking tongues are provided which are, for example, firmly connected to one drive body part and engage in the adjacent drive body part, where they automatically lock into place. The drive body part can therefore be separated by releasing the locking tongue. In further preferred embodiments, the assembly devices each comprise at least one connecting element, such as a rod, plate, or threaded rod, which is provided for connecting the drive to the sliding door, and at least one of the connecting elements is slidably or slidably and lockably held by the drive body. The opening through which the connecting element is inserted into the drive body module,It can therefore be round, square, or have an elongated longitudinal perforation. In a preferred embodiment, the guide rail comprises two side pieces connected to each other by a head piece, which have opposing running webs at their ends facing away from the head piece and opposing retaining webs between the running webs and the head piece. The at least one running gear is held in a track with the running elements between the running webs and the retaining webs. The at least one stator part is held in a stator channel between the retaining webs and the head piece and comprises one or more groups of stator magnets facing the track channel.and preferably the control device with at least one control button and optionally at least one control indicator. The number of stator magnets or stator coils can be chosen arbitrarily. Preferably, two groups of stator magnets are provided, each comprising six stator magnets. The walkways and support rails have running surfaces for the running elements, of which first running elements rest on the upper side of the walkways and second running elements on the underside of the support rails. The length of the walkways and support rails is preferably selected according to the width of the running elements. A control channel is preferably kept clear between the facing front sides of the HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 walkways and support rails, into which the user can reach to operate the control buttons. The control buttons are preferably arranged parallel to the central axis of the guide rail so that they can be easily operated.when the drive has moved away. Alternatively, the control device can be operated by remote control, optionally a mobile device. The sliding door assembly is preferably integrated into a smart home system, which allows the user to control various devices, such as the sliding door assembly, automatic roller shutters, lighting devices, electrical and electronic devices, and the like. In further preferred embodiments, several stator sections or several groups of stator magnets are arranged in the guide rail or within the stator channel, which can be individually controlled. The drive can therefore be moved automatically over any length of distance along the guide rail by arranging stator sections in such a way that the drive enters the influence area of ​​a second stator section before leaving the influence area of ​​a first stator section. It is therefore not necessary toStator magnets are arranged in an uninterrupted series. Instead, individual groups of stator magnets can be provided, separated from each other by significant distances. The gap between two stator parts is preferably somewhat smaller than the length of the drive. Any sliding door arrangement can be realized with the linear motor device according to the invention, comprising one or more sliding doors, each of which is slidably held along a guide rail. The at least one guide rail can be directly connected to a building component, such as the wall or ceiling of a building, or coupled to a mounting rail, which in turn is connected to a building component and has, for example, an L-profile or a U-profile. The guide rail, which may be held by a mounting rail, can run along the front of a wall or into a door recess. If the sliding door can be retracted into a door recess,It is advantageous if the connecting element of at least one of the mounting devices is slidably mounted on the track. During installation of the sliding door, it can therefore be connected on one side to a first mounting device and partially inserted into the door frame, after which the sliding door is connected to the track using the second, slidable mounting device. The slidability of the connecting element facilitates the installation process and may even make it possible in the first place. HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 The sliding doors can have panels made of glass, wood, or other materials. Wooden sliding doors are often provided with a recess at the top into which a retaining rail is inserted. The retaining rail serves to hold a mounting bracket.which holds the connecting element. The mounting body is preferably connected to the track by the connecting screw before the sliding door is installed. The sliding screw allows the mounting body to be inserted into the guide rail and the sliding door to be connected to the track on this side as well. As described in the aforementioned prior art, a mounting part can also be inserted into or placed on the panel of the sliding door. Auxiliary elements such as locking devices, closing devices, stop devices, and the like can also be arranged in the track. Furthermore, sensors such as Hall sensors, optical sensors, or electromagnetic sensors can be provided.by means of which the opening and closing process of the sliding door can be monitored and controlled. For example, the control device can use a sensor to detect the movements of people and automatically stop, open, or close the sliding door. Furthermore, the current supplied to the stator modules can be measured and monitored to detect any influences on the sliding door. The travel path of the sliding door can be limited by means of stop devices. The sliding door can be fixed in specific positions by means of locking or closing devices. The sliding door can be fixed and locked in selected positions, for example, after opening or closing, by means of support devices. Preferably, the sliding door can be moved in steps along its travel path by means of the control device.which can be registered in the control device. During a learning cycle, the number of steps taken is preferably registered for specific positions of the sliding door. For example, the number of steps taken when moving the sliding door from one end stop to the other is checked. Subsequently, the sliding door can be controlled according to the specifications of the sliding door assembly. To compensate for tolerances, it is preferably provided that the stored number of steps for specified positions can be corrected. Preferably, the HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 stator section comprises two groups of stator magnets with, for example, six stator coils each, which are controlled accordingly. For example, it is determined at which position the sliding door is at the same height and flush with the side walls of the door compartment. If a deviation exists,By pressing the control buttons on the control unit, a correction menu can be accessed, which allows the number of steps to be adjusted for a programmed position. By pressing the control buttons again, the sliding door can be moved step by step to the exact position, after which the determined number of steps is saved. Stop points can therefore be set along the travel path for any desired position. The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 Fig. 2a shows a part of the sliding door assembly of Fig. 1c, with the sliding door 8 connected to the drive unit 11 of the linear motor device 1 by means of two mounting devices 7.which is slidably held in a guide rail 2 (schematically shown by a dashed line). The linear motor device 1 is held within the guide rail 2 and is therefore not visible. The guide rail 2 is coupled to a mounting rail 6, which is connected to a building component by mounting screws 99. During the assembly of the sliding door assembly 9, the mounting rail 6 is pre-assembled so that the guide rail 2 can subsequently be coupled to the mounting rail 6 by means of coupling devices 5 and, if necessary, also decoupled again. Fig. 2b shows the part of the sliding door assembly from Fig. 2a without the mounting rail 6 and with the guide rail 2, which is cut in such a way that the linear motor device 1 is exposed. Fig. 3a shows the mounting rail 6 from Fig. 2a with the guide rail 2 held therein. The mounting rail 6 comprises two side plates 62,which are connected to each other by a head plate 61. Spacer strips 63 are provided adjacent to the side plates 62, maintaining a clearance 630 between the building ceiling and the head plate 61. The head plate 61 has keyhole-shaped coupling openings 60 in which coupling devices 5 can be anchored. The coupling devices 5 comprise a coupling body 50, which is connected to the end piece 2A of the guide rail 2, and a coupling head 51, which is inserted into and held in the corresponding coupling opening 60. Fig. 3b shows the mounting rail 6 and the separate guide rail 2 from Fig. 3a, which has mounting openings 29 for mounting the coupling devices 5. A dashed line indicatesthat the coupling head 51 of the coupling device 5 is inserted into a larger opening 601 of the coupling opening 60 when the guide rail 2 is lifted, and is moved parallel to the longitudinal axis of the guide rail 2 and anchored in a smaller opening 602 of the coupling opening 60. Also shown is a stop device 25 removed from the guide rail 2, which comprises a mounting body 252 that can be fixed in a stator channel 22 of the guide rail 2 by means of a fixing screw 253 and which holds a HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 end stop 251, which projects into a running channel 21 of the guide rail 2 and forms an end stop for the running gear 11 there. Fig. 4a shows the guide rail 2 from Fig. 3b with two side pieces 2B connected to each other by a head piece 2A.The guide rail 2 has opposing walkways 211 at the ends furthest from the headpiece 2A and opposing retaining webs 221 between the walkways 211 and the headpiece 2A, which laterally define the stator channel 22 and the running channel 21. Furthermore, an operating channel 28 is provided, which runs between the walkways 211 and the retaining webs 221 through the running channel 21 upwards into the stator channel 22. Fig. 4b shows the guide rail 2 from Fig. 4a with attached coupling devices 5, with the stator part 12 inserted into the stator channel 22, and with the running gear 11 inserted into the running channel 21. The running gear 11 has a running gear body 111, which carries the rotor part 112 facing the stator channel 22 and which is connected to the sliding door 8 by a mounting device 7. Also shown is the hand of the user, who engages the operating channel 28 with his index finger to control the control device 122 of the stator part 12.in particular to operate the control buttons 1221 (see Fig. 10a). If no remote control is provided, the linear motor device 1 can therefore be operated manually. The operating elements 1221 and display elements 1222 of the control device 122 are preferably arranged in a row (see Fig. 10a) so that they are visible and easily accessible through the operating channel 28. Alternatively, the linear motor device can also be controlled contactlessly by means of sensors, for example, motion sensors. First running elements 1151 of the drive 11 rest on the guide rails 211 of the guide rail 2 and bear the load of the sliding door 8. Second running elements 1152 of the drive 11 are shifted vertically upwards and rest against the underside of the support rails 221 if the drive 11 is lifted by magnetic interaction between the stator part 12 and the rotor part 112. Fig. 4c shows the guide rail 2 of Fig. 4b equipped with the linear motor device 1,The linear motor device 1 was coupled to the mounting rail 6 by means of the coupling devices 5. The mounting rail 6 had previously been mounted to a building component G by means of mounting screws 99. The spacer strips 63 of the mounting rail 6 rest against the building component G, thus maintaining a clearance 630 between the building component G and the end plate 61 of the mounting rail 6. During the installation of the guide rail 2, the coupling head 51 was inserted through the coupling opening 60 in the end plate 61 of the mounting rail 6 (see Fig. 3b) into the clearance 630 and then anchored in the coupling opening 60. After integration into the guide rail 2, the linear motor device 1 according to the invention can therefore be mounted and dismounted from a ceiling particularly easily. The drive 11 is connected by a connecting device 7, comprising a mounting body 71 and a connecting screw 72, to a sliding door 8, which comprises a wooden panel,connected. A recess is provided in the upper side of the wooden panel, in which a retaining rail 70 is provided. The mounting body 71 is slidably and lockably held in the retaining rail 70. The connecting screw or threaded rod 72 is guided into the running gear body 111 and held there in a thread of a mounting plate 114. Fig. 5 shows the part of the sliding door assembly from Fig. 2b (without the running rail 2) with the running gear 11, which has the modular runner part 112 and the modular running gear body 111. Runner magnets 1122 are seamlessly arranged one after the other on the runner part 112. In this preferred embodiment, the runner magnets 1122 are cuboid in shape. The runner magnets 1122 could, however, also have a different shape,For example, they may have a cylindrical shape. To adapt the drive unit 11 to a sliding door 8, modules of the drive unit 11 are selectively removed or added. The drive unit body 111 comprises three detachable drive unit body modules 111B, 111C, which are held between two drive unit body modules 111A, 111D that are connected to the sliding door 8 by the connecting devices 7. Preferably, therefore, it is not the specially designed drive unit body modules 111A, 111D at the two ends of the drive unit 11 that are removed, but rather, as needed, one or more of the intermediate drive unit body modules 111B, 111C, which have no additional function. The drive body modules 111A, 111B, 111C, 111D are assigned corresponding runner modules 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D. When the length of drive 11 is changed (HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25), one of the drive body modules 111A, 111B, 111C, 111D and one corresponding runner module 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D are therefore replaced.to remove or add 112D. In a first embodiment of the invention, the corresponding drive body modules 111A, 111B, 111C, 111D and runner modules 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D can be directly assigned to one another and form a corresponding drive module 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, as illustrated in Fig. 5. In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the drive body modules 111A, 111B, 111C, 111D and the runner modules 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D are not directly assigned to one another. The detachable runner modules 112B, 112C are preferably arranged at one of the ends of the runner part 112, where they can be removed or added relatively easily. It is evident thatThe drive mechanism 11 extends across the entire width of the sliding door 8 and projects approximately 5% to 10% of its length to the rear. The door compartment 90 is therefore preferably dimensioned according to the length of the drive mechanism 11. This ensures that the rotor part 112 always remains in contact with the stator part 12 when the sliding door 8 is fully extended. In the illustrated embodiment, after the sliding door 8 has been fully extended, the drive mechanism part that projects to the rear of the sliding door 8 will be located below the stator magnets 121A, 121B of the stator part 12. The drive mechanism 11 is provided with an annular locking element 113 at the front.which, after reaching the end stop, is engaged and held by a locking or closing device. Fig. 6a shows the drive unit 11 from Fig. 5 in an exploded view from the front. The rotor part 112 has been separated from the modular drive unit body 111 and divided into the cuboid rotor magnets 1122 and a modular coupling rail 1121. The coupling rail 1121 has a connecting profile, preferably a T-profile or double-T-profile, and comprises a support plate 11211, an intermediate plate 11212 with reduced width, and an anchor plate 11213, which are preferably connected to each other by means of screws 11219. In the area of ​​the intermediate plate 11212, the coupling rail 1121 has a retaining groove 11210 on both sides. The drive body 111, of which the drive body module 111D is visible at the front, has a U-profile that includes two drive side pieces 111S,HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25, which are connected to each other by a drive center piece 111M, comprises. Between the drive side pieces 111S, the drive body 111 has a mounting profile 1111 adjacent to the drive center piece 111M and an anchor profile 1112 on the opposite side from the drive center piece 111M. The anchor profile 1112 is designed to receive the anchor plate 11213 of the rotor part 112. The rotor modules 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D are thus held in the anchor profile 1112 and are slidable along it and can be locked, for example, by means of a fixing screw or clamping screw. The mounting profile 1111, on the other hand, serves to accommodate connecting elements, such as the connecting tabs 1116 shown in Fig. 8a, or other mounting elements, such as the mounting plate 114, which is screwed to the locking part 113 and to a connecting screw 72 of a mounting device 7 (see Fig. 9a). A recess 1113 is also provided on the front side of the drive unit center piece 111M.which serves to receive the locking element 113. Furthermore, running elements 1151, 1152 are shown, which are vertically displaced relative to each other. The running elements 1151, 1152 are designed as rollers and equipped with bearing shafts or wheel axles 11511, 11521. Fig. 6b shows a section of the running gear 11 from Fig. 6a in a three-dimensional view. The running elements 1151, 1152 are vertically displaced relative to each other and are inserted into the bearing openings 11510, 11520 with the bearing shafts. The runner magnets 1122 are detached from the modular coupling rail 1121. Four short runner modules 112B are connected to a long runner module 112A. The runner modules 112A, 112B are positively connected to each other by connecting means 1126, 1127. The connecting elements 1126 are anchor-shaped, and the connecting elements 1127 are designed to complement them. The runner modules 112A and 112B are...The modules are joined serially like puzzle pieces and, when assembled, form the coupling rail 1121. In this embodiment, the individual runner modules 112B are each assembled with two screws 11219. Fig. 7a shows the modular runner part 112 of the drive unit 11 from Fig. 5 or Fig. 6b. Four identical runner modules 112B were separated from a first runner module 112A. The length of the runner modules 112B corresponds to the length of the identical drive unit body modules 111B. The length of two runner modules 112B corresponds to the length of the drive unit body module 111C. The length of all four runner modules 112B therefore corresponds to the length of the three drive body modules 111B, 111C, 111B, which have different lengths but are preferably in an integer ratio to each other. All runner modules 112A, 112B preferably have the same features.The runner module 112A and the runner modules 112B differ from each other only in their length and a special feature of the anchor plate 11213. The anchor plate 11213 of the long runner module 112A, which is not normally detached from the drive unit 11, preferably has at least one tapered section 112130 in the area of ​​one of the drive unit modules 111A, 111D such that the anchor plate 11213 does not engage, or does not fully engage, in the anchor profile 1112 of the drive unit 111 at this point. The length of the tapered section 112130 is dimensioned such that a detachable drive unit module 112B, 112C can be moved up to this tapered section 112130 and detached from the anchor plate 11213. To shorten the drive body 111, the end-side drive body module 111A is detached from the coupling rail 1121 and moved to expose the tapered section 112130.The superfluous drive body module 111B is then moved to the exposed tapered section 112130 and removed from the coupling rail 1121. Fig. 7b shows the drive unit 11 from Fig. 5 during the removal of one of the drive body modules 111B. The associated runner module 112B has not yet been removed, which is why the runner part 112 still has all four runner modules 112B and must be shortened accordingly. A tab 1116 was removed with the drive body module 111B. One of the tabs 1116 remains in the drive body 111 and serves to connect the now adjacent drive body parts 111A and 111C, which are to be slid against each other. When the remaining drive body modules 111A, 111C, 111B, 111D are pushed together, part of the runner section 112, i.e., the first runner module 112B, is pushed out of the anchor profile 1112 of the drive body 111 and is then detached from the adjacent runner module 111B. Of the outer drive body modules 111A,The connecting elements 72 of the mounting devices 7 (see Fig. 9a) are held in the drive body modules 111A, 111D. By way of example, it is shown that the connecting elements 72 are guided through elongated transfer openings 1110 (an optional transfer opening 1110 is shown in dashed lines) of the drive body modules 111A, 111D and are each held in a mounting plate 114 (see Fig. 6b). The connecting elements 72 and, if applicable, the associated mounting body 71 can therefore be moved relative to the drive body 11 and connected to the sliding door 8. It is usually sufficient to make only one of the connecting elements 72 movable to facilitate the assembly of the sliding door 8. One of the transfer openings 1110 is therefore preferably provided as a longitudinal perforation, while the other transfer opening 1110 can be a circular hole. Depending on the design of the sliding door arrangement 9, for example when installing a glass door according to Fig. 9b,The adjustability of the connecting elements 72 can also be completely dispensed with. In this case, both transfer openings 1110 are implemented as round perforations. The adjustability of at least one of the connecting elements 72 in an elongated transfer opening 1110 is particularly advantageous when installing a sliding door 8 in a door compartment 90, for example, if the width of the door opening 900 is less than the width of the sliding door 8 (see Fig. 1a). Fig. 7c shows the drive unit 11 after the removal of the drive unit body module 111B and the subsequent sliding of the remaining drive unit body modules 111A, 111B, 111C, 111D together and the separation of a corresponding runner module 112B. The now adjacent drive unit body modules 111A, 111C were connected to each other by one of the tabs 1116 and two screws 1117. The removed drive body module 111B and the removed runner module 112B, which correspond to each other,are shown separately. The newly configured drive 111 now again has two connection levels. On the underside, the drive body modules 111A, 111C, 111B, 111D are connected to each other by the tabs 1116 and screws 1117. On the top side, the drive body modules 111A, 111C, 111B, 111D are connected to each other by the coupling rail 1121 with the anchor plate 11213, which is held in the anchor profile 1112. This results in high stability of the drive 111 in any possible configuration. Fig. 8a shows a part of the runner section 112 with two drive body modules 111B, one of which is shown in a sectional view. The length of the drive body module 111B, detached from the coupling rail 1121, i.e., from the anchor plate 11213, corresponds to the length of the taper 112130 in the HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 anchor plate 11213. The sectional view shows that grooves are provided on both sides in the side plates 111S of the drive body part 111B.which form the mounting profile 1111 and the anchor profile 1112. Fig. 8b shows a running gear module 11B comprising a running gear body module 111B and a runner module 112B, which together form a unit that can be detached from the running gear 11. The embodiments of Fig. 8a and Fig. 8b can also be combined. For example, the running gear module 11B can be attached to one of the end pieces of the running gear 11 of Fig. 7c. Fig. 9a shows the mounting device 7 of Fig. 4c, by means of which a sliding door 8, which has a wooden panel, can be connected to a running gear 111 according to the invention, for example according to Fig. 5. As explained with reference to Fig. 4c,The mounting body 71 is slidably held in a retaining rail 70 and lockable by means of a clamping screw 75. The retaining rail 70 is held in a recess 80 on the upper side of the wooden panel of the sliding door 8. The drive unit 11 was moved to an end stop and locked there by means of a locking device or closing device 23. The locking device 23 comprises a mounting body 232, which is fixed in the stator channel 22 of the guide rail 2 by means of a fixing screw 233. The mounting body 232 holds an actuator 231, which has an extendable locking element or closing element 2311 that has been inserted into the closing part 113. The actuator 231 is preferably controllable by means of the control device 122 (see Fig. 10b) or a remote control. Fig. 9b shows a mounting device 7 for a sliding door 8, which includes a glass panel. Circular recesses 80 are provided on the top of the glass plate.are inserted into the plastic rings 78. Furthermore, a mounting body 71 with two mounting plates is provided, which are connected to each other by transverse screws 77 that pass through the plastic rings 78. Between the connected mounting plates is the connecting element 72, which is connected to a drive unit 11 according to Fig. 5 by a connecting screw 72. The head of the connecting screw 72 can be accessed and rotated through a window. HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 Fig. 10a shows the underside of the stator part 12 of Fig. 5 with a housing 120 and covers 128A, 128B, between which two groups of six stator magnets or electromagnets 121A, 121B each are arranged. The stator part 12 has a connection device 126A, 126B on each side, which can be connected to power supply lines, control lines, or measuring lines. A main switch 125 is provided on the right side,which, as shown in Fig. 4b, can be actuated through the guide rail 2 and by means of which the stator part 12 is activated. A control device 122 is provided on the right side, which has control buttons 1221 and indicator elements 1222, which are accessible through an access opening 1280 in the cover 128A. The number of stator magnets or stator coils 121A, 121B is kept as small as possible, but can be selected as required. Typically, fewer stator magnets 121A, 121B are used for lighter sliding doors and / or lower accelerations, and more stator magnets 121A, 121B are used for heavier sliding doors and / or higher accelerations. By increasing the number of stator magnets 121A, 121B, the effective range or effective length of the stator part 12 can also be increased. Different stator parts 12 are only provided if the properties of the sliding door system 9, for example the traffic route,It deviates significantly from an average or standard design. The main switch 125 and the control buttons 1221 are arranged in a row at the level of the central axis of the stator part 12 and thus also at the level of the central axis of the guide rail 2, and are therefore accessible to the user via the operating channel 28, as shown in Fig. 4b. Fig. 10b shows the stator part 12 from Fig. 10a after removal of the covers 128A, 128B, with a view of a power supply device 124 and the control device 122. The control device 122 comprises at least one processor and power electronics 129, by means of which the stator magnets or electromagnets 121A, 121B are supplied with current, preferably in 3 phases with a desired phase angle. Sensors, typically Hall sensors, are provided between the two groups of stator magnets 121A, 121B.which are connected to the control device 122 and by means of which the magnetic fields that occur can be measured. HAWA 24-02 PCT / 19.05.25 By generating alternating magnetic fields through the stator magnets 121A, 121B, which act on the rotor magnets 1122 of the drive 11, for example according to Fig. 5, it is possible to drive the drive 11 in one direction or the other. In this embodiment, 2 control buttons 1221 are provided, by means of which a control menu, preferably with several menu items, can be called up. As described in the introduction, holding points can be programmed by counting the steps from an end stop to a specific holding point and setting the holding point by pressing the control buttons 1221 and storing the number of steps. After selecting a holding point, the corresponding number of steps is executed and counted.
