Description

[0001] Coupling device for a hinge

[0002] The invention relates to a coupling device for a hinge for coupling to or decoupling from a carriage or a drive device, comprising a carriage for moving a louver element with a coupling bolt, a drive device (preferably electric) with a drive bolt, preferably a gearbox (particularly preferably a cycloidal gearbox), at least one hinge for moving the louver element, and a transmission device for transmitting a drive force to the carriage and / or, preferably from the drive device, to the at least one hinge. Furthermore, the invention relates to an arrangement comprising at least one such coupling device, a louver element, and at least one guide device for the louver element.Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for coupling at least one hinge with a drive device and decoupling it from a carriage, as well as a method for coupling at least one hinge with a carriage and decoupling it from a drive device.

[0003] Conventional coupling devices comprise a driver and a driver pin to establish a motion coupling between a component belonging to the driver and a component belonging to the driver pin. Typically, blinding elements, which in the context of the invention can, for example, represent windows or doors of a house, are tilted to ventilate a room or opened by means of a pivoting movement. Document WO 2024 / 211938 A1, which discloses a different motion trajectory for blinding elements, is known from the prior art.

[0004] Based on this prior art, there is a need to transition from a preferably driven movement from a closed position to an extended position to a preferably manually driven movement to a parked position and vice versa, whereby the prior art, as a disadvantage in this respect, does not offer a coupling device, since the carriage and the drive device are structurally and functionally independent components.

[0005] The objective technical object of the present invention is therefore to provide a coupling device improved compared to the prior art, as well as an arrangement and method in which the disadvantages of the prior art are at least partially eliminated, and which are characterized in particular by an improved transition between the extended and retracted position - and vice versa - of a louver element.

[0006] This problem is solved by the features of claim 1.

[0007] According to the invention, the transmission device has at least one opening or contour for receiving the coupling bolt and / or the drive bolt and is designed to be displaceable in the axial direction relative to the coupling bolt and the drive bolt, so that the transmission device can be detachably connected to the coupling bolt and to the drive bolt and / or vice versa.

[0008] This makes it possible for a component to function in a dual role for the at least one hinge, whereby both the coupling to the carriage and the coupling to the drive device can be generated, and depending on the position of the transmission device relative to the coupling bolt and the drive bolt, a separation of that assembly can take place for which no interaction with the at least one hinge is intended or desired in the motion trajectory of the aperture element.

The extended position can be a tilted position of the cover element or, preferably, a ventilation position parallel to the frame, while the retracted position can be laterally displaced relative to the opening of the wall or roof element. The frame can be a window frame for a window as a cover element, a patio door frame for a cover element in the form of a patio door, or be considered synonymous with a cover element frame.

[0010] The drive bolt can generally represent the drive shaft of the drive device (and, for example, directly initiate the movement of the at least one hinge), preferably the drive bolt is separate from the drive shaft and is moved or subjected to torque by the drive shaft to mediate a movement of the at least one hinge.

[0011] The opening (or contour) of the transmission device is to be considered functionally and can, for example, be in the form of a recess or a suitable geometry or contour to achieve a motion coupling between the carriage or the drive device. The transmission device can be designed in multiple parts, preferably being a single piece or a component which particularly preferably acts in a dual function as a lever for the at least one hinge.

[0012] The invention preferably relates to an application in a window or a patio door.

[0013] The term drive bolt can be broadly defined in the context of the invention, wherein the drive bolt can, for example, be designed as a drive lever or the drive bolt can be motionally coupled (or mechanically interlocked) to a drive lever (generally connected to a common shaft of a drive shaft) in order to actuate, for example, a pull-up lever of the arrangement via a control contour of the drive lever or the pull-up lever by force transmission from the drive shaft.

[0072] Figures 1a to 1d show an arrangement consisting of two coupling devices 1, a cover element 5 that is movable relative to a wall or roof element for closing an opening in a wall or roof element in the operating position of the arrangement, and a guide device 28 for the cover element 5. Generally, four coupling devices 1 can be provided for four existing hinges 2, or only one coupling device 1. The guide device 28 comprises two wall- or roof-element-side guide rails 26, 27 and two cover element-side guide rails 26, 27.

[0073] The cover element 5 is movable relative to the wall- or roof-side guide rail 26 by at least one electric drive device 4 from a closed position in a parallel or oblique orientation to the wall- or roof element orthogonally relative to a longitudinal extension of the guide device 28 to an extended position via the hinges 2, and preferably manually from the extended position in a parallel orientation to the wall- or roof element parallel to a longitudinal extension of the guide device 28 to a closed position via the carriage 3. In general, the manual movement can be driven or the driven movement can be performed manually.

[0074] In this embodiment, two electric drive devices 4 are provided, one located in an upper corner of a stick 23 and the other in a lower corner of the stick 23. The number of drive devices 4 is generally arbitrary; for example, one or four drive devices 4 may be provided.

[0076] Two stationary hinges 2 and two hinges 2 each assigned to a carriage 3 are provided, the number of hinges 2 and carriages 3 is generally arbitrary.

[0077] The aperture element 5 is moved electrically from a closed position to the extended position and manually to the closed position, whereby the transmission device 9 in the extended position is transferred from a drive bolt zen 7 to a coupling bolt zen 6 and vice versa.

[0078] Figs. 2a and 2b illustrate the constructive design of the embodiment with the component parts belonging to the cover element 5 and the stock 23 - such as the two-part guide device 28, which are connected to each other by means of hinges 2.

[0079] Fig. 3 shows a hinge 2 in an enlarged detail section with a lever kinematics which enables the transition between a closed position and the opened position.

[0080] Fig. 4 shows the coupling device 1 for a hinge 2 for coupling with or decoupling from the carriage 3 or the drive device 4, comprising the carriage 3 for moving a blind element 5, wherein the carriage 3 has a coupling bolt zen 6 and an electric drive device 4 with a drive bolt zen 7, which is associated with a gearbox in the form of a cycloidal gear 8 of the drive device 4.

[0081] Each electric drive device 4 has two cycloidal gear units 8 connected to each other via a synchronization shaft, wherein in the detail section a decoupling from or coupling with the cycloidal gear unit 8 facing away from the drive device 4 takes place.

[0082] The coupling device 1 comprises the hinge 2 for moving the louver element 5 and a transmission device 9 for transmitting a driving force to the carriage 3 for the extended position and from the drive device 4 to the hinge 2 for the retracted position of the louver element 5.

[0083] The transmission device 9 comprises an opening 10 for receiving the coupling bolt 6 and the drive bolt 7, wherein the transmission device 9 is designed to be displaceable in the axial direction relative to the coupling bolt 6 and the drive bolt 7, so that a connection of the transmission device 9 to the coupling bolt 6 can be made detachable and to the drive bolt 7 and vice versa.

[0084] Fig. 5a to Fig. 5h illustrate a coupling process with the gearbox of the drive device 4, wherein a decoupling process from the carriage 3 takes place during the coupling process.

[0085] Fig. 5a shows that the transmission device 9 is arranged on the coupling bolt 6, so that the hinge 2 with the carriage 3 can be moved into the parked position. The transmission device 9 is located without contact with the drive bolt 7. The coupling bolt 6 and the drive bolt 7 are arranged coaxially to each other.

[0086] A stop bolt 11 is arranged on the coupling bolt 6 and the coupling device 1 comprises two stops 12 for the stop bolt 11, wherein when the stop bolt 11 makes contact with one of the two stops 12 a movement of the coupling bolt 6 can be locked, wherein when the stop bolt 11 is arranged between the two stops 12 the coupling bolt 6 is fixed bidirectionally.

[0087] Fig. 5b shows that the stop bolt 11 protrudes transversely from the coupling bolt 6.

[0088] The hinge 2 includes a toggle lever, the toggle lever being lockable by the coupling bolt 6 and via the stop bolt 11.

[0089] Fig. 5c shows that the coupling bolt 6 and the drive bolt 7 are in an axial position in a coupling position of the coupling device 1.

[0090] are spaced apart in each direction.

[0091] Fig. 5d shows that one of the stops 12 is arranged between the stop bolt 11 and the drive bolt 7 and the stop bolt 11 is arranged between the other of the two stops 12 and the drive bolt 7.

[0092] In comparison with Fig. 5c, it can be seen that a control element 13 is provided with which one of the two stops 12 can be moved in a vertical direction relative to the stop bolt 11.

[0093] The control element 13 has the stop 12, wherein a control bolt 14 (see Fig. 5b) arranged on the carriage 3 is provided, with which the control element 13 can be moved upwards in the vertical direction in the operating position, wherein the stop bolt 11 and the coupling bolt 6 can be fixed in a position with the control element 13.

[0094] In Fig. 5d, the coupling is connected to the drive device 4 via the cycloidal gear 8.

[0095] Figures 5e to 5h differ from the process shown in Figures 5a to 5d only in that they are viewed from a different angle.

[0096] Figs. 6a to 6f visualize the coupling process with the drive bolt 7 and the uncoupling process from the coupling bolt 6 in sectional view.

[0097] Fig. 6a shows that the coupling bolt 6 or the stop bolt 11 is axially displaceable relative to the carriage 3 and is mounted on the carriage 3 with a spring acting as a force storage device.

[0098] Fig. 6b shows that a play compensation bolt 17 is provided, which is arranged essentially parallel to the coupling bolt 6 and the drive bolt 7 and is arranged on the hinge 2.

[0099] Fig. 6c shows that the control element 13 has a cam 15 in which the control bolt 14 can be guided to move the control element 13. One of the two stops 12 is thereby moved in a vertical direction.

[0100] The hinge 2 is coupled to the carriage 3 in a direction of movement away from the drive pin 7, in the direction of its resting position. An exemplary method for coupling the hinge 2 to the drive device 4 via the cycloidal gear 8 of the drive device 4 and decoupling the hinge 2 from the carriage 3 can be explained as follows: The carriage 3 is moved by the coupling pin 6 in the direction of the drive pin 7 of the drive device 4, whereby the transmission device 9 for transmitting the drive force to the carriage 3 and to the hinge 2 is released from its connection to the coupling pin 6 and is displaced axially relative to the coupling pin 6 and the drive pin 7, whereby the transmission device 9 is then connected to the drive pin 7.

[0101] Similarly, in a method for coupling the hinge 2 with the carriage 3 and decoupling the hinge 2 from the drive device 4, the transmission device 9 is moved via the drive device 4's transmission, preferably designed as a cycloidal gear 8, from the drive bolt zen 7 of the drive device 4 towards the carriage 3 with the coupling bolt zen 6, wherein the transmission device 9 is released from a connection with the drive bolt zen 7 and displaced axially relative to the coupling bolt zen 6 and the drive bolt zen 7, wherein the transmission device 9 is subsequently connected to the coupling bolt zen 6.

[0102] For the movement of the aperture element 5 in this embodiment, the hinge 2 is moved along with the carriage 3 in a direction of movement away from the drive bolt 7 via the transmission device 9, and the transmission device 9 is moved along with the hinge 2 in a direction of movement oriented orthogonally to the drive bolt 7. During the coupling / uncoupling process of this

[0103] From execution form

[0104] - the coupling bolt zen 6 and the drive bolt zen 7 remain stationary during coupling / uncoupling via the transmission device 9,

[0105] - the stop bolt zen 11 arranged on the coupling bolt zen 6 comes into contact with one of the stops 12 and locks the coupling bolt zen 6 bidirectionally ,

[0106] - the control bolt zen 14 arranged on the carriage 3 enters the cam 15 of the control element 13 and moves one of the stops 12 in a vertical direction, whereby the coupling bolt zen 6 and a stop bolt zen 11 are fixed by the control element 13 .

[0107] Fig. 6d shows an intermediate position as a coupling position, in which the transmission device 9 is transferred from the coupling bolt 6 to the drive bolt 7 (or vice versa).

[0108] In Fig. 6e and Fig. 6f, the transmission device 9 is transferred to the drive bolt 7, so that force can be transmitted from the drive device 4 to the hinge 2.

[0109] The hinge 2 is mounted on the transmission device 9 and is coupled to the transmission device 9 in a direction of movement away from the drive bolt 7 and in a direction of movement oriented orthogonally to the drive bolt 7 when the aperture element 5 is moved into the closed position of the aperture element 5 or of the hinge 2.

[0110] Figures 7a to 7e show the movement of the hinge 2 from an extended position of the cover element 5 towards the closed position, whereby the cover element 5 is automatically locked in the closed position. The hinge 2 has a lever kinematic mechanism, which is transmitted by the drive bolt 7 from the drive device 4.

[0111] Figures 8a to 8c show, by isolating components of the coupling device 1, that a pulling lever 18 is provided for moving the hinge 2 or the carriage 3 into an end position in the direction of the drive device 4, wherein the pulling lever 18 is generally arranged on the drive shaft of the gearbox or the drive device 4 and / or can be in operative connection with the drive bolt 7.

[0112] The pulling lever 18 acts on a transmission lever 19, wherein the transmission lever 19 is guided through a guide cam 21 via a pin 20 arranged on the transmission lever 19 and is oriented essentially orthogonally to the pulling lever 18.

[0113] The transmission lever 19 is for the tightening process on the hinge.

[0114] 2 or the carriage 3, wherein the hinge 2 or the carriage 3 is connected via a pin of the hinge 2 or the carriage

[0115] 3 is moved by a catch contour of the transmission lever 19 in the direction of the cycloidal gear 8 .

[0116] The pulling lever 18, arranged on the drive bolt 7 or the gearbox, moves the hinge 2 or the carriage 3 into an end position in the direction of the gearbox of the drive device 4 via an interaction between the transmission lever 19 and the guide cam 21.

[0117] Figures 9a to 9c show a locking process of the louver element 5 on a stick 23 initiated by the drive device 4, wherein a locking lever 22 arranged on the gearbox or the drive bolt 7 locks the louver element 5 on the stick 23 via an interaction between a transmission device 25 and a locking device 24. The locking lever 22 for locking the louver element 5 in the closed position on the stick 23 is arranged on the drive bolt 7 or the gearbox, wherein the locking device 24 is actuated via a transmission device 25 by the

[0118] Locking lever 22 can be activated.
