Abstract

A door operator includes a base plate with a receiving profile, a shaft housing inserted into the receiving profile, a first cylinder housing inserted into the receiving profile, a driven shaft rotatably bearing-mounted in the shaft housing, and a piston which is linearly movably guided in the first cylinder housing. The piston and the driven shaft cooperate for mutual conversion between a linear movement of the piston and a rotational movement of the driven shaft, and an energy accumulator is arranged in the first cylinder housing and cooperates with the piston.

Claims (16)

1. A door operator ( 1 ) comprising:

a base plate ( 2 ) having a receiving profile ( 13 ) comprising parallel grooves ( 14 ) arranged along a direction of longitudinal extent of the base plate;

a shaft housing ( 3 ) having shaft housing parallel projections inserted into the parallel grooves ( 14 ) of the receiving profile ( 13 );

a first cylinder housing ( 4 ) having first cylinder parallel projections inserted into the parallel grooves ( 14 ) of the receiving profile ( 13 );

a second cylinder housing ( 5 ) having second cylinder parallel projections inserted into the parallel grooves ( 14 ) of the receiving profile ( 13 );

a driven shaft ( 6 ) rotatably bearing-mounted in the shaft housing ( 3 ), the driven shaft ( 6 ) having a toothed wheel formed thereon; and

a piston ( 8 ) linearly movably guided in the first cylinder housing ( 4 ), the piston ( 8 ) having a slot through which the driven shaft ( 6 ) projects, the slot having an inner toothed rack ( 11 ) that engages the toothed wheel,

wherein the piston ( 8 ) and the driven shaft ( 6 ) cooperate for mutual conversion between a linear movement of the piston ( 8 ) and a rotational movement of the driven shaft ( 6 ), the mutual conversion being effected by the engagement between the toothed wheel and the inner toothed rack ( 11 ), and an energy accumulator ( 12 ) is arranged in the first cylinder housing ( 4 ) and cooperates with the piston ( 8 ), and

wherein the first cylinder housing ( 4 ) is connected along the direction of longitudinal extent of the base plate on a first side to the shaft housing ( 3 ), and wherein the second cylinder housing ( 5 ) is connected to the shaft housing ( 3 ) along the direction of longitudinal extent of the base plate on a second side of the shaft housing opposing the first side.

2. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the first cylinder housing ( 4 ) and/or the second cylinder housing ( 5 ) are/is connected to the shaft housing ( 3 ) in a fluid-tight manner.

3. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the parallel grooves ( 14 ) are formed such that the first cylinder housing ( 4 ) and/or the second cylinder housing ( 5 ) and/or the shaft housing ( 3 ) are/is movable with respect to the base plate ( 2 ) only in a longitudinal direction ( 23 ) of the base plate ( 2 ).

4. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the base plate ( 2 ) and/or the first cylinder housing ( 4 ) and/or the second cylinder housing ( 5 ) and/or the shaft housing ( 3 ) are/is formed as extrusion components.

5. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein at least one hydraulic line ( 16 ) is formed in the base plate ( 2 ).

6. The door operator according to claim 5 , wherein at least one first opening ( 17 ) is provided in the hydraulic line ( 16 ), wherein at least one second opening is provided in the first cylinder housing ( 4 ) and/or in the second cylinder housing ( 5 ) and/or in the shaft housing ( 3 ), and wherein the first opening ( 17 ) aligns with the second opening by inserting the first cylinder housing ( 4 ) and/or the second cylinder housing ( 5 ) and/or the shaft housing ( 3 ).

7. The door operator according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one end cap ( 21 ) arranged laterally at the base plate ( 2 ), wherein the base plate ( 2 ) is configured to be mounted on a main structure by the end cap ( 21 ).

8. The door operator according to claim 1 , further comprising a mounting plate ( 18 ) having a further receiving profile ( 19 ) and which is mountable on a main structure, wherein the base plate ( 2 ) is configured to be inserted into the further receiving profile ( 19 ).
