Abstract

A method for arranging a drive unit in a revolving door, the drive unit being arranged at a ceiling element of the revolving door and configured to drive a turnstile of the revolving door, includes: arranging a receiving vessel at the underside of the ceiling element so as to form, at an underside of the ceiling element, an installation cavity opening in a direction of an installation space of the turnstile; and inserting a flat-cylindrical, electronically commutated multipole motor into the installation cavity to form the drive unit.

Claims (12)

1. A method for installing a drive unit ( 10 ) having a disk-shaped, electronically commutated multipole motor ( 14 ) in a ceiling element ( 11 ) of a revolving door ( 100 ), the ceiling element ( 11 ) being configured to receive and engage the drive unit ( 10 ), the drive unit ( 10 ) being configured to drive a turnstile ( 12 ) of the revolving door ( 100 ), the method comprising:

providing a receiving vessel ( 13 ) at an underside of the ceiling element ( 11 ) so as to form, at the underside of the ceiling element ( 11 ), an installation cavity ( 19 ) opening in a direction of the turnstile ( 12 ), the receiving vessel ( 13 ) having an annular flange ( 16 ) integrally formed around a circumferential edge of the receiving vessel ( 13 );

engagedly inserting the disk-shaped, electronically commutated multipole motor ( 14 ) into the installation cavity ( 19 ) to form the drive unit ( 10 ); and

securing under ceiling elements ( 15 ) to the underside of the ceiling element ( 11 ) by connecting the under ceiling elements ( 15 ) to the annular flange ( 16 ) of the receiving vessel ( 13 ).

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising engaging the turnstile ( 12 ) with the multipole motor ( 14 ).

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising connecting at least one electric lead ( 17 ) to the turnstile ( 12 ).

4. A system in which a drive unit ( 10 ) is installed in a revolving door ( 100 ), the revolving door ( 100 ) having a ceiling element ( 11 ) configured to receive and engage the drive unit ( 10 ), the drive unit being connected to a turnstile ( 12 ) of the revolving door ( 100 ) for driving the turnstile ( 12 ), the system comprising:

a receiving vessel ( 13 ) arranged at the underside of the ceiling element ( 11 ), the receiving vessel ( 13 ) having an installation cavity open in a direction of the turnstile ( 12 ), the receiving vessel ( 13 ) having an annular flange ( 16 ) integrally formed around a circumferential edge of the receiving vessel( 13 );

under ceiling elements ( 15 ) configured so as to be engagable with the annular flange ( 16 ); and

the drive unit ( 10 ), the drive unit ( 10 ) having a disk-shaped, electronically commutated multipole motor ( 14 ) configured so as to be insertable into the installation cavity of the receiving vessel ( 13 ).

5. The system according to claim 4 , wherein the turnstile ( 12 ) is gearlessly connected to the multipole motor ( 14 ).

6. The system according to claim 4 , wherein annular flange ( 16 ) has an insertion opening ( 18 ) through which the under ceiling elements ( 15 ) are insertable behind the annular flange ( 16 ).
