Abstract

A door operator includes a housing, a sliding element, supported within the housing and translationally movable along a first axis, an output shaft, rotatably movable about a second axis, and a transmission element, which is adapted to mutually convert a rotational movement of the output shaft into a translational movement of the sliding element. The transmission element includes a rotation element, which can be driven by the output shaft, and includes a lever, which is attached to the sliding element and eccentrically attached to the rotation element

Claims (16)

1 . A door operator ( 1 ), comprising:

a housing ( 2 );

a sliding element ( 3 ) supported within the housing ( 2 ) and translationally movable with respect to the housing along a first axis ( 30 );

an output shaft ( 4 ) rotatably movable about a second axis ( 40 ); and

a transmission element ( 5 ) configured to mutually convert a rotational movement of the output shaft ( 4 ) into a translational movement of the sliding element ( 3 ), the transmission element ( 5 ) having:

(a) a rotation element ( 51 ) drivable by the output shaft ( 4 ), and

(b) a lever ( 52 ) attached to the sliding element ( 3 ) and attached eccentrically to the rotation element ( 51 ).

2 . The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein output shaft ( 4 ) has a toothing, and the rotation element ( 51 ) comprises a toothed wheel engageable with the toothing of the output shaft ( 4 ).

3 . The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the lever ( 52 ) is attached to the rotation element ( 51 ) at a location at which the rotation element ( 51 ) has its largest diameter.

4 . The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission element ( 5 ) is configured to change a rotation of the output shaft ( 4 ) into a displacement of the sliding element ( 3 ) in relation to the output shaft ( 4 ).

5 . The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the lever ( 52 ) is attached to the rotation element ( 51 ) and/or to the sliding element ( 3 ) so as to be rotatably movable.

6 . The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation element ( 51 ) is rotatably movable about a third axis ( 50 ) that runs parallel to the second axis ( 40 ).

7 . The door operator according to claim 1 , further comprising an energy accumulator ( 6 ) configured to exert a force onto the sliding element ( 3 ) along the first axis ( 30 ).

8 . The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding element ( 3 ) defines at least one hollow space in which the output shaft ( 4 ) and the transmission element ( 5 ) are accommodated, and wherein at least one opening ( 31 ) is provided within the sliding element ( 3 ) through which the output shaft ( 4 ) protrudes from the sliding element ( 3 ).

9 . The door operator according to claim 1 , further comprising a cage ( 7 ) configured to accommodate the transmission element ( 5 ), the cage ( 7 ) being supported at the output shaft ( 4 ).

10 . The door operator according to claim 7 , wherein the energy accumulator ( 6 ) is a spring.
