Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a folding shutter device for covering a facade (such as a building wall or a window).
  • the present invention further relates to a method for operating a folding shutter device for covering a facade.
  • folding facades consisting of two, four or more folding sashes (folding shutters) which selectively cover the windows.
  • folding shutters are usually opened and closed horizontally.
  • the folding wings are connected via hinges and move apart or together in guide rails.
  • FIG. 8 to 10 show a plan view of a conventional folding shutter system with four folding wings.
  • a guide rail 807 is attached to a facade.
  • Four folding wings 801, 802, 803, 804 are arranged in the horizontal direction along the guide rails 807.
  • the first folding wing 801 is pivotally attached to a fixed joint 808.
  • a second folding wing 802 is fastened on the opposite side via a joint 809.
  • the second folding leaf 802 is also attached to a further slide 806 which can be moved along the guide rails 807.
  • a third folding wing 803 is rotatably attached to the further slide 806.
  • a fourth folding wing 804 is fastened to the third folding wing 803 via a further joint 810.
  • the fourth folding leaf 804 is fastened to the guide rails 807 via a slide 805.
  • the carriage 805 can be moved along the guide rails 807. In particular, the carriage 805 is driven along the guide rails 807 via a drive spindle 811.
  • Fig. 8 shows the conventional folding shutter system in the closed state.
  • To open the drive spindle 811 pulls the slide 805 in the direction of the fixed joint 808.
  • the folding wings 801, 802, 803, 804 fold in that the joints 809, 810 not connected to the guide rails 807 move away from the guide rails 807 and the slide 805 and the further slide 806 are moved in the direction of the fixed joint 808.
  • Fig. 10 the conventional folding shutter system is shown in the open state, in which the folding wings 801, 802, 803, 804 are folded tightly packed together.
  • the drive unit When opening the folding wings, care must be taken to ensure that the joints 809, 810, which are not connected to the guide rail 807, fold outward in relation to the facade in order not to initiate folding of the folding wings in the direction of the facade. Furthermore, the drive unit must be dimensioned very strongly, since, for example, in strong winds which act on the folding facades, a high drive torque must be generated in order to open the folding wings.

  • the folding shutter elements are coupled to the guide element via a fixed joint or a slide.
  • the closed position describes a position of the pair of folding shutters in which the folding shutter elements cover a facade area.
  • the folding shutter elements are arranged one behind the other along a direction of travel on the guide element, and the folding shutter elements are thus offset laterally and are therefore not arranged to cover one another.
  • the opening position describes a position of the pair of folding shutters in which the folding shutter elements least cover the facade area. In this position, the folding shutter elements are folded together and thus arranged to cover one another.
  • the force mechanism refers to a mechanism that provides a control force between the pair of shutters, i.e. selectively generated between the first folding shutter element and / or the second folding shutter element and the facade.
  • the control force can represent, for example, an attractive force that attracts a folding shutter element to the facade or the guide element.

  • a driving force is generated, for example manually or by means of a drive unit, which acts in the guide element along the direction of travel of the folding shutter elements.
  • a repulsive force can be generated as a control force initially at the beginning of the adjustment (along the guide element) between the closed position in the direction of the open position. This facilitates the swivel control of the folding shutter elements.
  • an attractive force can be generated as a control force in the closing position, which pulls the folding shutter element towards the facade or guide element and thus reinforces the maintenance of the closed position. Furthermore, to maintain the opening position, an attractive force or locking force can be generated as a control force between the folding shutter elements in the opening position.
  • the opening mechanism of the folding drawer device can be improved by, for example, initially generating a repulsive force as a control force at the beginning of the opening process.
  • the robustness of the folding drawer device against external influences, such as wind gusts can be improved by, for example, an attractive force as Control force is generated, which holds the folding shutter elements towards the facade in the closed position. It also reduces rattling noises due to wind-induced rattling of the folding shutter elements.
  • the force mechanism has a push-off device which selectively generates a push-off force as a control force between the pair of folding shutters and the facade.
  • the repulsive force can be generated, for example, mechanically, ie, for example by means of a spring force, or magnetically, for example by means of appropriate polarity of magnets.
  • a drive torque of the drive unit required at the start of the opening movement of the pair of folding shutters can also be reduced.
  • a high drive torque is necessary, for example, to bring the folding shutter elements to the outside to fold away.
  • the repulsion force already induces the pivoting of the folding shutter elements to the outside, so that a smaller drive torque is necessary.
  • the repelling device has a controllable piston which can be moved in and out between the pair of folding shutters on the one hand and the facade or the guide element on the other.
  • the push-off device is arranged in particular on the pair of folding shutters, the facade or the guide element.
  • the controllable piston can, for example, be made in one piece or telescopically retractable and extendable.
  • the repelling device or the piston can be controlled by means of the control unit described below.

  • the force mechanism has a push-off device which selectively generates a push-off force as a control force between the first folding shutter element and the second folding shutter element. If the folding drawer device is in the open position, for example, the first folding drawer element can be pushed off by the repelling force by means of the pushing force, and thus facilitate the movement in the direction of the closed position.
  • the force mechanism has a pair of magnetic elements with a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element.
  • the first magnetic element is arranged on the pair of folding shutters (e.g. the first folding shutter element or the second folding shutter element) and the second magnetic element is arranged on the guide element or the facade.
  • the pair of magnetic elements generates (e.g. selectively and controllably) a magnetic force as a control force between the pair of folding shutters and the facade.
  • the magnetic force is an attractive force or a repulsive force.
  • the first magnetic element can also be arranged on a joint between the first folding element and the second folding element.
  • a pair of magnetic elements described above is generated according to the invention in such a way that, for example, the first or the second magnetic element consists of a ferromagnetic or magnetic material and the corresponding other magnetic element consists of an electromagnet.
  • the guide element can consist of a ferromagnetic material and thus form the second magnetic element integrally.
  • the first magnetic element is formed from a controllable electromagnet.
  • the pair of magnetic elements can consist of permanent magnets and thus form an attractive force as a control force.
  • the closed position of the folding shutter elements can be reinforced. Only when a certain limit value of the driving force along the guide element for opening the pair of folding shutters is exceeded is the strength of the magnetic force overcome and the folding shutter elements pivoted accordingly and the method.
  • the pair of magnetic elements can be formed from permanent magnets and thus form an attractive force as a control force.
  • the push-off device can be arranged and generate a push-off force which, when the opening of the folding shutter elements is initiated, exceeds the attractive force of the permanent magnets and thus initiates the opening.
  • the first magnetic element or the second magnetic element is an electromagnet which can be controlled (for example by means of the control unit described below).
  • the controllable electromagnet can, for example, have the functional states "on” and "off". For example, an attractive force can thus be generated as a control force, and when the opening of the pair of folding shutters is indexed from the closed position to the open position, the electromagnet can be switched off, so that the attractive force is ended.
  • the electromagnet can be designed such that the polarity of the electromagnet is changed.
  • the electromagnet in the closed position can have an inverse polarity compared to its magnetic element partner in order to generate an attractive force as a control force.
  • the electromagnet can have the same polarity compared to its magnetic element partner in order to generate a repulsive force as a control force.
  • the force mechanism has a locking device which is set up to provide a locking force in the open position as a control force between the first folding shutter element and the second folding shutter element.
  • the locking force is, for example, an attractive force between the first folding shutter element and the second folding shutter element.
