Abstract

A drive unit for a revolving door having a turnstile includes: an electronically commutated multipole motor having: (i) a disk-shaped or cup-shaped stator part configured to be arrangable at a stationary structural component part of the revolving door, (ii) a disk-shaped or cup-shaped rotor part configured to be gearlessly connectable to the turnstile of the revolving door, and (iii) an engagement device arranged between the stator part and the rotor part, the engagement device being configured to intervene in rotational movement of the rotor part. The stator part and the rotor part are in a plane-parallel arrangement with respect to one another.

Claims (23)

1 . A drive unit for a revolving door ( 100 ) having a turnstile ( 13 ), the drive unit comprising:

an electronically commutated multipole motor ( 1 ) having:

(i) a disk-shaped or cup-shaped stator part ( 10 ) configured to be arrangable at a stationary structural component part ( 11 ) of the revolving door ( 100 ),

(ii) a disk-shaped or cup-shaped rotor part ( 12 ) configured to be gearlessly connectable to the turnstile ( 13 ) of the revolving door ( 100 ), and

(iii) an engagement device ( 14 ) arranged between the stator part ( 10 ) and the rotor part ( 12 ), the engagement device ( 14 ) being configured to intervene in rotational movement of the rotor part ( 12 ),

wherein the stator part ( 10 ) and the rotor part ( 12 ) are in a plane-parallel arrangement with respect to one another.

2 . The drive unit according to claim 1 , wherein the engagement device ( 14 ) comprises a blocking device ( 27 ) configured to block the rotational movement of the rotor part ( 12 ), the blocking device ( 27 ) being arranged in a stationary manner at the stator part ( 10 ) and configured to be engagable with at least a part of the rotor part ( 12 ) by positive engagement.

3 . The drive unit according to claim 2 , wherein:

the rotor part ( 12 ) comprises a receiving opening ( 16 ), and

the blocking device ( 27 ) comprises an actuator and a blocking element ( 15 ) movable, by the actuator, in a positively engaging manner into the receiving opening ( 16 ) in the rotor part ( 12 ).

4 . The drive unit according to claim 3 , wherein the actuator of the blocking device ( 27 ) comprises a magnet coil ( 17 ) configured to act on a magnet armature ( 18 ) connected to the blocking element ( 15 ), when the magnet coil ( 17 ) is electrically activated, so as to cause the blocking element ( 15 ) to carry out a lifting movement.

5 . The drive unit according to claim 4 , wherein the rotor part ( 12 ) has an engagement disk ( 19 ), the engagement disk ( 19 ) having the receiving opening ( 16 ) in which the blocking element ( 15 ) engages during the lifting movement.

6 . The drive unit according to claim 1 , further comprising a control unit ( 20 ) arranged between the stator part ( 10 ) and the rotor part ( 12 ) of the multipole motor ( 1 ), the control unit ( 20 ) being configured to activate the engagement device ( 14 ).

7 . The drive unit according to claim 6 , further comprises:

(a) a plurality of coil elements ( 21 ) arranged between the stator part ( 10 ) and the rotor part ( 12 ), the coil elements ( 21 ) being coupled to the stator part ( 10 ), and

(b) a quantity of magnet elements ( 22 ) arranged between the stator part ( 10 ) and the rotor part ( 12 ), the magnet elements ( 22 ) being coupled to the rotor part ( 12 ).

8 . The drive unit according to claim 7 , wherein the coil elements ( 21 ) are arranged on a circular path at the stator part ( 10 ) so as to form a coil ring, wherein the engagement device ( 14 ) and the control unit ( 20 ) are arranged in an area inside the coil ring.

9 . The drive unit according to claim 1 , wherein the engagement device ( 14 ) comprises a braking device ( 23 ) configured to brake the rotational movement of the rotor part ( 12 ).

10 . The drive unit according to claim 9 , wherein the braking device ( 23 ) is arranged in a stationary manner at the stator part ( 10 ) and is configured to engage the rotating rotor part ( 12 ) in a frictionally engaging manner.

11 . The drive unit according to claim 9 , wherein the braking device ( 23 ) has an actuator ( 24 ) and a braking element ( 25 ), wherein the braking element ( 25 ) can be brought into frictional engagement against a disk-shaped portion ( 26 ) of the rotor part ( 12 ) by activating the actuator ( 24 ).

12 . A revolving door having a drive unit according to claim 1 .

13 . The drive unit according to claim 5 , wherein the engagement disk ( 19 ) has a plurality of receiving openings ( 16 ) into which the blocking element ( 15 ) may engage during the lifting movement.

14 . The drive unit according to claim 11 , wherein the disk-shaped portion ( 26 ) is annular in shape.
