Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rail-mounted mobile wall element having a wall body comprising on the top and/or lower side thereof at least one sealing element displaceable between a traveling and an operating position of the moveable wall element with the aid of a powered drive unit.
  • moveable wall elements of the above described type usually supported in a traversable manner in ceiling-mounted rails commonly form a partitioning system allowing the creation of a partitioning wall and therefore variable partitioning of hangers, halls or other rooms.
  • the individual moveable wall elements are arranged in a row in the desired position with their end faces adjacent to each other.
  • Extendable sealing profiles with sealing elements are displaced toward the ceiling and the floor and thus fix the individual moveable wall elements. They serve the purpose of sound insulation and prevent air exchange between the rooms separated by the moveable wall elements.
  • the sealing elements In the traveling position of the moveable wall elements, i.e. in the position in which they are moved in rails, if present, and transported to the position desired for partitioning or to their storage position, the sealing elements must be arranged on the wall body in such a manner that they do not rub against the ceiling or floor. The sealing elements, in the traveling position, are therefore in a position retracted from the ceiling and the floor. To fix the moveable wall elements and to achieve the above described sealing of the partitioned rooms, the seals are pressed against the ceiling or the floor.
  • the end position of the sealing profiles i.e. the position, in which the sealing profiles are fully extended, is also referred to as the functional position of the moveable wall elements.
  • the moveable wall element according to the present invention is characterized in that the drive unit is insertable in receiving openings arranged on the end side of the wall element body in the area of the top and/or bottom side to be releasably engageable with the sealing element.
  • the arrangement of the drive unit according to the present invention enables the wall element body to be formed in any desired manner in the area between the top and bottom sides since it is free of functional parts for operating the moveable wall element or the sealing elements.
  • the inventive form of the moveable wall elements allows easy insertion and extraction of the drive unit.
  • the easy extraction in the case of the presence of a failure of the moveable wall element resulting from a defective drive unit allows the latter to be easily exchanged so that the moveable wall element is usable again within a very short period of time.
  • Complete dismounting of the moveable wall element, which is required with failures of the drive unit of prior art moveable wall elements, can be completely eliminated.
  • the modular structure of the moveable wall element according to the present invention also allows it to be simply and cheaply manufactured.
  • the structure of the wall body of the moveable wall element can be basically achieved in any desired manner.
  • the wall body comprises at least one frame element and plate elements on either side of the frame element.
  • frame elements such as of various hollow profiles, apart from the excellent arrangement of the plate elements visible to the outside, also allows a receiving opening for the drive unit to be particularly simply formed, and the wall body to be particularly simply manufactured.
  • the frame element due to the essentially free choice for the structure of the frame element, the latter can be formed in such a way that also assembly and disassembly of the sealing elements of the fully mounted moveable wall element is possible. Assembly of the moveable wall element is thus additionally simplified. Furthermore, the use of such frame elements also allows the sealing elements to be particularly simply exchanged, if needed.
  • frame elements also enables the free space formed between the plate elements to be completely filled with insulating material, so that the insulating properties, in particular the sound insulating properties of the partitioning walls created with the use of the thus further developed moveable wall elements are thereby substantially improved over and above the conventional partitioning walls.
  • the use of an insulating material between the plate elements is still possible even if the moveable wall element is provided with closeable openings, such as windows or doors, which can be arranged in any desired position due to the inventive structure of the moveable wall element.
  • the rails for guiding the moveable wall element, and the corresponding structure of the moveable wall elements can be in any particular desired form.
  • the wall body is connected, however, for traversable support in a rail arranged in a ceiling, at its top, however, with at least one, preferably two, carrying elements, particularly preferably formed as a trolley, pivotably connected with the wall body, such as via a connecting rod.
  • guiding of the moveable wall elements in a rail arranged in the ceiling makes it possible to form the floor of said room without interruptions, such as floor rails for guiding the moveable wall elements, which would be visually disruptive and might even involve the risk of tripping.
  • the use of trolleys has the advantage that it achieves particularly easy traversability of the moveable wall elements in the ceiling rails.
  • the use of two trolleys for carrying ensures particularly stable and safe arrangement of the moveable wall element in the rail.
  • the receiving openings arranged on the end sides of the wall body and particularly easily accessible according to the present invention for receiving the drive units can principally be formed in any desired manner.
  • the drive unit can be arranged in a receiving opening simply u-shaped in cross section, for example, achieved by a corresponding frame element, since due to its effective connection with the sealing element it is ensured in a sufficiently reliable manner that the drive unit is fixed in its position on the moveable wall element.
  • the receiving opening comprises guides, however, and the drive unit comprises guiding elements engageable with the guides.
  • the guides such as rail-like longitudinal channels, interacting with webs on the drive unit as guiding elements, ensure in an advantageous manner both the positioning of the drive unit and positional fixing of the drive unit in the operation of the moveable wall element.
  • connection of the drive unit and the sealing elements can also be principally achieved in any particular manner.
  • the drive unit has a coupling element, preferably a hook-shaped receiving opening, releasably engageable with a control element connected to a sealing profile, wherein one or more sealing elements are arranged on the sealing profile.
  • the drive unit in the state fully inserted in the receiving opening is not directly connected with the sealing elements, but is connected with a sealing profile via a usually centrally arranged control element, the sealing element usually having two parallel sealing elements extending over the width of the wall body.
  • the sealing profile is formed in such a way that it encloses the connection rods for connecting the wall body with the trolley. In the functional position of the wall body, the rail, and the trolley arranged therein, are essentially completely covered due to the advantageously provided use of the sealing profile.
  • connection of the drive unit with the sealing elements via a control element centrally arranged on the sealing profile also has the advantage that jamming of the sealing elements or the sealing profile is effectively avoided. Also in the case where a movement of the sealing profile from the traversing position into the functional position is not carried out in parallel to the top side of the wall body, after a point-wise contact of the sealing elements on the ceiling or the floor full contact of the sealing elements on the ceiling or the floor is achieved after further traversal.
  • the drive unit is formed in such a way, however, that the sealing profile with the sealing elements arranged thereon is biased in the functional position by means of a spring element.
  • the spring bias causes particularly reliable contact of the sealing elements on the ceiling and the floor. Due to the spring bias it is also achieved that the structural components of the drive unit are unstressed in the functional position so that they are not subject to destructive permanent stress.
  • the spring element also compensates for sagging of the ceiling due to load changes in the area of the mounted moveable wall element without loss of the sealing action.
  • the spring element both allows a movement of the ceiling towards the wall element and furthermore compensates increases in the distance between the ceiling and the wall element by having the sealing elements follow the movement. Moreover, damage on the functional parts of the drive unit due to the forces acting from the ceiling on the sealing elements is effectively avoided.
  • the drive unit has an apparatus for manual operation.
  • This enables the moveable wall elements to be used to create a partitioning wall even if the drive unit fails. This may be necessary in particular when it is necessary to insert a partitioning wall, but no exchange drive unit is available.
  • manual operation also enables the partitioning wall to be dismantled in the case of a failure of the drive unit.
  • the latter has end switches. These ensure in an advantageous manner that the drive unit is only adjustable between the maximally allowable positions corresponding to the functional position and the traveling position of the wall element.
  • the drive unit can principally be structured in any particular manner so long as it may be inserted and extracted by insertion and extraction into and out of the receiving openings, respectively.
  • the drive unit is formed as a lifting module, which raises or lowers the sealing elements.
  • the lifting action can be achieved by means of any suitable drive elements, such as a piston-cylinder unit or the like.
  • the lifting movement is achieved by converting a rotating movement into a translating movement.
  • the lifting module has a spindle rotatably supported at both ends and driven by a motor, and a spindle nut arranged on the spindle, traversable along the spindle axis by means of rotating the spindle, wherein a toggle joint is supported at its one end displaceable in the area of the spindle nut and at its other end fixedly and pivotably supported in the area of one of the spindle bearings.
  • Driving of the spindle is carried out according to the present embodiment of the invention, preferably via an electric motor, rotatably driving the spindle.
  • the distance between the spindle nut and the fixed spindle bearing is reduced or increased, resulting in the toggle joint being flexed and stretched, respectively.
  • the distance between the spindle nut and the fixed spindle bearing is reduced, which causes the toggle joint to be erected.
  • the former is connectable, in the area of its pivot point, with the control element of the sealing profile, so that the lifting movement is directly transferred to the control element and the sealing elements connected therewith.
  • one end of a first lever of the toggle joint extends beyond the pivot point with the second lever of the toggle joint and is formed for connection with the control element.
  • the lifting distance of the drive unit is additionally increased while the traversal path of the spindle nut on the spindle remains the same.
  • the end of the first lever essentially performs a linear movement rather than a pivotal movement, so that the end of the first lever can be coupled to the control element in a particularly simple manner.
  • the end of the first lever is formed for this purpose.
  • a spring element is provided contacting with its one end a thrust support axially displaceable on the spindle and with its other end a threaded bearing, which is traversable along the spindle axis by means of rotating the spindle, and wherein the toggle joint is linked with its end opposite the spindle bearing on the thrust support, which contacts the spindle nut on its side opposite the spring element.
  • the spindle nut and the threaded bearing are displaced to the same degree by displacing the drive unit, wherein the distance between both of these remains the same.
  • the pivotably linked support of the toggle joint on the thrust support displaceable against the spring force makes it possible to press the sealing elements against the floor or the ceiling with constant spring force.
  • the spring force is adjustable by determining the distance between the thrust support and the threaded bearing when the lifting module is assembled.
  • the drive unit itself does not generate any pressure force of the sealing profile. The latter is solely achieved by means of the spring element.
  • the position of the spindle nut determines the pivotal adjustment of the toggle joint achieved by the spring force.
  • any suitable component can principally be used as the spring element. According to an advantageous embodiment, it is formed, however, by a helical pressure spring coaxially arranged on the spindle. According to this embodiment of the invention, the structural size of the lifting module can be kept particularly small, which results in only a very small structural size being taken up in the wall body.
  • the assembly of the lifting module can be realized in a simple manner with conventional structural components.
  • a particularly simple assembly of the toggle joint is achieved according to an embodiment of the invention by realizing the link between the first and the second lever by means of a pin in the manner of a bayonet lock, formed in such a way that assembling it to the toggle joint can only be carried out when the levers are oriented in parallel. This orientation is only achieved during assembly.
  • the toggle joint In the assembled state of the lifting module, the toggle joint is always flexed at least by a small amount due to its coupling with the control element, so that the first and second levers are not oriented in parallel.
  • This embodiment is a particularly reliable type of link.
  • the manual operating member can also be in any suitable manner. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is formed, however, by a spindle extension arranged with its one end on the spindle in an anti-twist manner and with its other end in the area of the end-side receiving openings. This is how a rotation of the spindle can be achieved by simple means with a suitable tool, such as by means of an inside hexagonal wrench or the like so that the lifting module can be adjusted between the traveling position and the functional position even if the motor unit, such as an electric motor, has failed.
  • the freely accessible end of the spindle extension is formed to receive the operating tool.
