Abstract

A door operator includes a housing, a first pressure compartment; a second pressure compartment, a drive unit disposed in the housing and coupleable to a door via an output shaft, the driving unit being associated with the first pressure compartment, a hydraulic pump in hydraulic connection with the first and second pressure compartments, a motor in driving relationship with the hydraulic pump, and a spring force accumulator disposed in the housing. The spring force accumulator is associated with the second pressure compartment and coupled to the drive unit.

Claims (17)

1. A door operator, comprising:

a housing;

an output shaft;

a drive unit disposed in a drive unit compartment of the housing and configured to be coupled to a door via the output shaft, the drive unit comprising:

a cam drive having a cam disc disposed on the output shaft; and

two force transmission rollers disposed on opposite sides of a longitudinal axis of the output shaft that bear on cam paths of the cam disc;

a motor, in driving connection with the drive unit;

a spring force accumulator coupled to the motor and arranged in the housing and is connected to the drive unit;

a hydraulic pump configured to be driven by the motor in hydraulic connection with a drive unit pressure compartment;

at least one pressure compartment disposed adjacent to a spring tensioning piston associated with the spring force accumulator such that a division of pressure for opening the door and for tensioning the spring force accumulator occurs, wherein the pressures act in a direction of tension of the spring force accumulator; and

a fluid-tight separating wall configured to separate the at least one pressure compartment from the drive unit pressure compartment.

2. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the spring force accumulator further comprises a compression spring, having a first end that bears against a housing wall and a second end that bears against the spring tensioning piston.

3. The door operator according to claim 2 , wherein the spring tensioning piston is connected to an opening piston of the drive unit, the opening piston carrying one of the force transmission rollers.

4. The door operator according to claim 3 , wherein the drive unit pressure compartment is disposed adjacent a damping piston that carries the other force transmission roller.

5. The door operator according to claim 4 , wherein the motor is one of an alternating current and direct current micro-motor.

6. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the motor is one of an alternating current and direct current micro-motor.

7. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the door operator is configured as a swing door operator.
