Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Führungsschiene für einen Garagentorantrieb gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches.The present invention relates to a guide rail for a garage door drive according to the preamble of the main claim.

Maschinell betriebene Garagentore sind bekannt. Diese weisen häufig einen an der Garagendecke befestigten Antriebsmotor, zwei lateral an der Garagendecke angeordnete Schienen zur Führung von beispielsweise Garagentorrollen sowie eine zentral an der Garagendecke angeordnete Führungsschiene für den Garagentorantrieb auf. Diese Führungsschiene dient der Aufnahme beispielsweise eines Wagens oder Schlittens und von Ketten oder Seilen, die die Kraftübertragung vom Antriebsmotor auf das Garagentor ermöglichen.Mechanically operated garage doors are known. These often have a drive motor attached to the garage ceiling, two rails laterally arranged on the garage ceiling for guiding garage door rollers, for example, and a guide rail arranged centrally on the garage ceiling for the garage door drive. This guide rail is used to hold, for example, a trolley or sled and chains or ropes that enable the power transmission from the drive motor to the garage door.

Herkömmlicherweise wird die Führungsschiene für den Garagentorantrieb aus montagetechnischen Gründen nur im Bereich ihrer beiden Stirnseiten an der Garagendecke befestigt. Neben einer durch ihr Eigengewicht bedingten, zum Garagenboden gerichteten Kraftkomponente wirkt insbesondere während des Betriebes eine weitere, durch das Garagentor ausgeübte Kraftkomponente nach unten. Um ein Durchbiegen der Führungsschiene zu verhindern, wird diese aus Aluminium oder Blech hergestellt. Führungsschienen aus Metall sind jedoch entweder teuer oder weisen unzureichende Korrosionsbeständigkeit auf. Zudem gewährleisten Führungsschienen aus Metall nicht immer einen ruhigen, geräuscharmen und schwingungsdämpfenden Lauf.Conventionally, the guide rail for the garage door drive is only attached to the garage ceiling in the area of its two end faces for assembly reasons. In addition to one directed towards the garage floor due to its own weight Force component acts downward, in particular during operation, by a further force component exerted by the garage door. To prevent the guide rail from bending, it is made of aluminum or sheet metal. However, metal guide rails are either expensive or have insufficient corrosion resistance. In addition, metal guide rails do not always ensure smooth, low-noise and vibration-damping running.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Die Führungsschiene mit den im Hauptanspruch genannten Merkmalen weist demgegenüber den Vorteil auf, daß sie preisgünstiger als eine Führungsschiene aus beispielzweise Aluminium ist. Zudem ist die Farb- und Formgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Führungsschienen erheblich einfacher, als bei Führungsschienen aus Blech oder Aluminium. Führungsschienen mit den im Hauptanspruch genannten Merkmalen ermöglichen einen ruhigen, geräuscharmen und schwingungsdämpfenden Lauf des Garagentorantriebs und weisen zudem gute Gleiteigenschaften auf, wobei eine Schmierung nicht erforderlich ist.The guide rail with the features mentioned in the main claim has the advantage that it is cheaper than a guide rail made of, for example, aluminum. In addition, the color and shape design of the guide rails according to the invention is considerably simpler than in the case of guide rails made of sheet metal or aluminum. Guide rails with the features mentioned in the main claim enable a quiet, low-noise and vibration-damping operation of the garage door drive and also have good sliding properties, with no lubrication being required.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantageous features of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

Zeichnungdrawing

Die Erfindung wird anhand einer Zeichnung und eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail with reference to a drawing and an embodiment.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Führungsschiene im Querschnitt.Figure 1 shows a guide rail in cross section.

AusführungsbeispielEmbodiment

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Führungsschiene aus Kunststoff im Querschnitt. Die dargestellte Führungsschiene weist bezüglich der Achse X ein spiegelbildliches Profil auf, so daß der Übersichtlichkeit halber auf die Verwendung gesonderter Bezugszeichen für die in der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung spiegelbildlich vorhandenen Ausgestaltungen verzichtet wurde.Figure 1 shows a guide rail made of plastic in cross section. The guide rail shown has a mirror-image profile with respect to the axis X, so that, for the sake of clarity, the use of separate reference numerals for the configurations present in mirror image in the device according to the invention has been dispensed with.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Führungsschiene 1, deren Basis 3 zusammen mit den Schenkeln 5 und den Endschenkeln 13 im Querschnitt ein C-Profil bildet. Die Führungsschiene 1 wird mit ihrer als Montagefläche dienenden Basis 3 an die Garagendecke angelegt und im Bereich ihrer Stirnseiten befestigt. Die Schenkel 5 stehen in einem Winkel von 90° zur Basisflache 3 senkrecht nach unten und weisen an ihrem deckenabwärts gerichteten Ende einander zugewandte Endschenkel 13 auf, die in einem Winkel von 90° zu den Schenkeln 5 stehen. Durch die Anordnung von Schenkeln 5 und Endschenkeln 13 zur Basisfläche 3 wird ein C-Profil gebildet, das einen Führungsraum 17 teilweise einschließt. Dieser Führungsraum 17 dient der Aufnahme eines hier nicht dargestellten Wagens oder Schlittens, der zusammen mit einer hier ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Kette oder Seil die Kraftübertragung vom Antriebsmotor auf das Garagentor erlaubt. Die Erfindung umfaßt selbstverständlich auch Führungsschienen mit Profilen, in denen die Winkel zwischen den Schenkeln und der Basis, sowie zwischen Schenkeln und Endschenkeln von 90° abweichen. Den beiden Schenkeln 5 ist jeweils ein sich vorzugsweise über die gesamte Länge der Führungsschiene erstreckendes bandförmiges Versteifungselement 9 zugeordnet. Die Seitenflächen 9' und 9'' des bandförmigen Versteifungselementes 9 stehen in einem Winkel von 90° zur Basis 3. Das bandförmige Versteifungselement 9 ist aus einem harten, biegungsfesten Material hergestellt, vorzugsweise Metall, einer Metallegierung, einem kohlefaser- oder glasfaserverstärktem Werkstoff oder ähnlichem. Das bandförmige Versteifungselement 9 versteift die Kunststoffschiene über ihre gesamte Länge und wirkt so einem unerwünschten Durchbiegen entgegen. Die Höhe S des bandförmigen Versteifungselementes entspricht der Höhe H des Führungsraums 17. Die Dicke D des bandförmigen Versteifungselementes 9 wird vorzugsweise so gewählt, daß ein Einschneiden in den Kunststoff der Führungsschiene vermieden wird. Selbstverständlich kann die Form des bandförmigen Versteifungselementes von der dargestellten Band-Form abweichen, wobei es jedoch aufgrund des erwünschten Versteifungseffektes vorteilhaft ist, eine Höhe S des bandförmigen Versteifungselementes zu wählen, die erheblich größer als dessen Dicke D ist und vorzugsweise der Höhe H des Führungsraums 17 entspricht. Das bandförmige Versteifungselement 9 ist hinter Rastnasen 27 und 29 der Stege 19 und 21 eingeschnappt. Die Stege 19 und 21 sind als Vorsprünge oder Verlängerungen der Basis 3 und der Endschenkel 13 ausgeführt. Sie sind vorzugsweise in einem Winkel von 90° zu den Schenkeln 5 angeordnet und weisen in eine dem Führungsraum 17 abgewandte Richtung. Selbstverständlich können die bandförmigen Versteifungselemente 9 der Führungsschiene 1 auch in anderer Art zugeordnet werden, beispielsweise durch Einschiehen in entsprechende Führungen oder indem sie bei der vorzugsweise durch Extrudieren durchgeführten Herstellung der Führungsschiene 1 mit einextrudiert werden.FIG. 1 shows a guide rail 1, the base 3 of which, together with the legs 5 and the end legs 13, forms a C-profile in cross section. The guide rail 1 is placed with its base 3 serving as a mounting surface on the garage ceiling and fastened in the region of its end faces. The legs 5 are at an angle of 90 ° to the base surface 3 perpendicularly downward and have end legs 13 facing one another at their downward-facing end, which are at an angle of 90 ° to the legs 5. The arrangement of legs 5 and end legs 13 to the base surface 3 forms a C-profile, which partially includes a guide space 17. This guide space 17 is used to accommodate a carriage or slide, not shown here, which together with a chain or rope, also not shown here, allows the power transmission from the drive motor to the garage door. The invention of course also includes guide rails with profiles in which the angles between the legs and the base, as well as between legs and end legs, deviate from 90 °. The two legs 5 are each assigned a band-shaped stiffening element 9, which preferably extends over the entire length of the guide rail. The side surfaces 9 'and 9''of the band-shaped stiffening element 9 are at an angle of 90 ° to the base 3. The band-shaped stiffening element 9 is made of a hard, bending-resistant material, preferably metal, a metal alloy, a carbon fiber or glass fiber reinforced material or the like . The band-shaped stiffening element 9 stiffens the plastic rail over its entire length and thus counteracts undesired bending. The height S of the band-shaped stiffening element corresponds to the height H of the guide space 17. The thickness D of the band-shaped stiffening element 9 is preferably chosen so that cutting into the plastic of the guide rail is avoided. Of course, the shape of the band-shaped stiffening element can deviate from the illustrated band-shape, but because of the desired stiffening effect it is advantageous to choose a height S of the band-shaped stiffening element that is considerably greater than its thickness D and preferably the height H of the guide space 17 corresponds. The band-shaped stiffening element 9 is snapped behind locking lugs 27 and 29 of the webs 19 and 21. The webs 19 and 21 are as projections or extensions of the base 3 and the end legs 13. They are preferably arranged at an angle of 90 ° to the legs 5 and point in a direction facing away from the guide space 17. Of course, the band-shaped stiffening elements 9 can also be assigned to the guide rail 1 in a different way, for example by inserting them into corresponding guides or by extruding them during the production of the guide rail 1, which is preferably carried out by extrusion.

Der Abstand A der Stege 19 und 21 voneinander entspricht in vorteilhafter Weise der Höhe H des Führungsinnenraumes 17, so daß ein bandförmiges Verbindungselement 9 der Höhe S, also einer Höhe, die der Höhe H des Führungsinnenraums 17 entspricht, eingeschnappt oder eingeschoben werden kann. Der Abstand A der Stege 19 und 21 kann jedoch auch kleiner gewählt werden, so daß ein entsprechend weniger hohes bandförmiges Versteifungselement 9 eingeschnappt oder eingeschoben wird. In Fällen, in denen das bandförmige Versteifungselement 9 im Kunststoff der Führungsschiene, vorzugsweise in den Schenkeln 5 eingearbeitet ist, kann selbstverständlich auf die Ausbildung von Stegen 19 und 21 verzichtet werden.The distance A of the webs 19 and 21 from one another corresponds advantageously to the height H of the guide interior 17, so that a band-shaped connecting element 9 of the height S, that is to say a height which corresponds to the height H of the guide interior 17, can be snapped in or pushed in. The distance A of the webs 19 and 21 can, however, also be selected to be smaller, so that a correspondingly less high band-shaped stiffening element 9 is snapped in or pushed in. In cases in which the band-shaped stiffening element 9 is incorporated in the plastic of the guide rail, preferably in the legs 5, the formation of webs 19 and 21 can of course be dispensed with.

Der Figur läßt sich auch entnehmen, daß die Schenkel 5 einen dem Führungsinnenraum 17 abgewandten Wulst 35 aufweisen. Der Wulst 35 wird dadurch gebildet, daß der Schenkel 5 nicht geradlinig nach unten verläuft, sondern zwei Absätze aufweist, so daß sich ein nach außen gerichtetes U-Profil bildet. Das bandförmige Versteifungselement 9, das dem Schenkel 5 von außen zugeordnet ist, liegt mit seiner Innenseite 9' also nicht dem gesamten Schenkel 5, sondern nur dem Wulst 35 auf. Im oberen und unteren Bereich zwischen Schenkel 5 und bandförmigem Versteifungselement 9 wird daher jeweils ein Hohlraum 10 gebildet.The figure also shows that the legs 5 have a bead 35 facing away from the guide interior 17. The bead 35 is formed in that the leg 5 does not run straight down, but has two shoulders, so that an outwardly directed U-profile forms. The inside of the band-shaped stiffening element 9, which is associated with the leg 5 from outside, thus does not rest on the entire leg 5, but only on the bead 35. A cavity 10 is therefore formed in each of the upper and lower regions between the leg 5 and the band-shaped stiffening element 9.

Der Führungsinnenraum 17 weist über seine gesamte Länge im Bereich der Schenkelinnenseiten 5' Strukturen zur Aufnahme von Kraftübertragungsvorrichtungen, zum Beispiel Bändern, Ketten oder Seilen auf, die die Kraft vom Antriebsmotor auf den Wagen oder Schlitten und damit das Garagentor übertragen. Diese Strukturen werden durch parallel zu und beabstandet von den Schenkeln 5 angeordnete Führungsschenkel 55 und 57 ausgebildet, von denen einer 55 an der Basis 3 in einem Winkel von 90° und ein anderer 57 am Endschenkel 13 ebenfalls in einem Winkel von 90° lokalisiert ist. Der als U-Profil ausgebildete Schenkel 5, Bereiche der Basis 3 und des Endschenkels 13, sowie die Führungsschenkel 55, 57 bilden ein C-Profil.The guide interior 17 has structures over its entire length in the region of the inside of the legs 5 'for receiving force transmission devices, for example belts, chains or ropes, which transmit the force from the drive motor to the carriage or slide and thus to the garage door. These structures are formed by guide legs 55 and 57 arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the legs 5, one of which 55 is located on the base 3 at an angle of 90 ° and another 57 on the end leg 13 likewise at an angle of 90 °. The leg 5 designed as a U-profile, areas of the base 3 and the end leg 13, and the guide legs 55, 57 form a C-profile.

Über die gesamte Länge der Führungsschiene ist in ihrem zentralen Bereich ein Kanal 39 angeordnet, der als Führung für eine Endlagenbegrenzung dient. Der Kanal 39 kann insbesondere magnetisch-induktive oder mechanische Schalter zum Begrenzen der Laufstrecke von Wagen oder Schlitten aufweisen, sowie der Kabelführung dienen. Der Kanal 39 wird durch den zentralen Bereich der Basis 3, senkrecht dazu nach unten angeordnete Kanalschenkel 45 und senkrecht zu den Kanalschenkeln 45 verlaufende Kanalendschenkel 49 gebildet, die zusammen im Querschnitt ein C-Profil aufweisen.A channel 39 is arranged in the central area over the entire length of the guide rail and serves as a guide for limiting the end position. The channel 39 can have, in particular, magnetic-inductive or mechanical switches for limiting the running distance of carriages or sleds, and can also be used for cable routing. The channel 39 is through the central region of the base 3, perpendicular to it downwardly arranged channel legs 45 and channel end legs extending perpendicular to the channel legs 45 49 formed, which together have a C-profile in cross section.

Die Basis 3 weist im Bereich der Schenkel 5 Zentrierungen 59 auf, die dem Ineinanderstecken von mehreren Führungsschienen 1 dienen.The base 3 has 5 centerings 59 in the region of the legs, which serve to insert a plurality of guide rails 1 into one another.
