Abstract

A drive unit for a door includes an electronically commutated multipole motor having: a stator part configured to be arrangable at a stationary structural component part; and a rotor part configured to be gearlessly connectable to a rotationally drivable element. The stator part and the rotor part include sheet metal elements stacked in a package-like manner. The sheet metal elements of the stator part and the sheet metal elements of the rotor part extend parallel to one another.

Claims (20)

1. A drive unit for a door, the drive unit comprising:

an electronically commutated multipole motor ( 1 ) having:

(i) a stator part ( 10 ) configured to be arrangable at a stationary structural component part ( 11 ); and

(ii) a rotor part ( 12 ) configured to be gearlessly connectable to a rotationally drivable element,

wherein the stator part ( 10 ) comprises a plurality of stator sheet metal elements ( 13 ) and the rotor part ( 12 ) comprises a plurality of rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ), the stator sheet metal elements ( 13 ) and the rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ) being stacked in a package-like manner, and wherein the stator sheet metal elements ( 13 ) and the rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ) extend parallel to one another, and

wherein a first subset of the plurality of stator sheet metal elements ( 13 ) extend substantially over the entire cross-sectional area of the stator part ( 10 ) and a second subset of the plurality of stator sheet metal elements have comb-like structural portions ( 15 ).

2. The drive unit according to claim 1 , wherein the stator part ( 10 ) and/or the rotor part ( 12 ) have/has a disk-shaped or cup-shaped form formed by the shape of at least one of the sheet metal elements ( 13 , 14 ), the rotor part ( 12 ) extending substantially plane-parallel to the stator part ( 10 ).

3. The drive unit according to claim 1 , further comprising coil elements ( 16 ) arranged between the stator part ( 10 ) and the rotor part ( 12 ) and coupled to the structural portions ( 15 ).

4. The drive unit according to claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of magnet elements ( 17 ) arranged between the stator part ( 10 ) and the rotor part ( 12 ), the magnet elements ( 17 ) being arranged at one or more of the rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ).

5. The drive unit according to claim 4 , wherein the magnet elements ( 17 ) are arranged at a plurality of rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ) such that the magnet elements ( 17 ) extend over a plurality of edge faces ( 18 ) of the rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ) stacked one above the other in a package-like manner.

6. The drive unit according to claim 1 , wherein the stator and rotor sheet metal elements ( 13 , 14 ) comprise a magnetizable material.

7. The drive unit according to claim 4 , wherein the stator sheet metal elements ( 13 ) coupled to the coil elements ( 16 ) and the rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ) coupled to the magnet elements ( 17 ) each form a magnetic back iron.

8. The drive unit according to claim 1 , wherein the stator and rotor sheet metal elements ( 13 , 14 ) comprise sheet metal segments configured so as to be placed together and/or joined to one another so as to be stacked on top of one another, plane by plane, to form a flat-cylindrical multipole motor ( 1 ).

9. The drive unit according to claim 1 , further comprising a bearing arrangement ( 19 ) by which the rotor part ( 12 ) is rotatably coupled to the stator part ( 10 ) in an approximately plane-parallel arrangement, in a drive axis ( 22 ) of the multipole motor ( 1 ).

10. The drive unit according to claim 9 , wherein the bearing arrangement ( 19 ) has at least one rolling bearing ( 20 ) configured as an axial bearing and/or the bearing arrangement ( 19 ) has at least one plain bearing ( 21 ) configured as an axial and/or radial bearing.

11. The drive unit according to claim 4 , wherein the magnet elements ( 17 ) are arranged at the rotor part ( 12 ) opposite the coil elements ( 16 ) at the stator part ( 10 ) so as to form a radial gap ( 23 ), wherein the coil elements ( 16 ) and the magnet elements ( 17 ) have an axial offset ( 24 ) with respect to one another.

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

13. The drive unit according to claim 1 , wherein the door is a revolving door.

14. The drive unit according to claim 13 , wherein the rotationally drivable element is a turnstile of the revolving door.

15. The drive unit according to claim 6 , wherein the magnetizable material is a ferrous material.
