Abstract

A door operator for opening and/or for closing a door includes a housing, an output shaft with a cam disc, and a first piston guided in the housing, which first piston bears against the cam disc. The output shaft includes a first axle body supported in the housing. The first axle body is connected to the cam disc in a torque-proof manner by a first plug-in connection.

Claims (25)

1. A door operator ( 1 ) for operating a door, comprising:

a housing ( 2 );

an output shaft ( 3 ) comprising, as separate components: a cam disc ( 6 ), a first axle body ( 32 ) supported in the housing ( 2 ) and a second axle body ( 33 ) supported in the housing ( 2 ), the first axle body ( 32 ) being non-rotatably connected to the cam disc ( 6 ) by a first plug-in connection ( 34 ) and the second axle body ( 33 ) being non-rotatably connected to the cam disc ( 6 ) by a second plug-in connection ( 35 ), the first and the second axle bodies ( 32 , 33 ) being disposed on opposite sides of the cam disc ( 6 );

a first piston ( 7 ) having a first piston length ( 28 ), guided in the housing ( 2 ) so as to be linearly movable with regard to the housing ( 2 ) over the first piston length ( 28 ) the first piston ( 7 ) bearing against the cam disc ( 6 );

a cylinder element ( 8 ) having a cylinder length ( 29 ), the cylinder element ( 8 ) being guided in the housing ( 2 ) so as to bear against the housing ( 2 ) so as to be linearly movable with regard to the housing ( 2 ) over the cylinder length ( 29 ); and

a damping piston ( 16 ) comprising a solid-walled cylinder surrounding a spring, the damping piston ( 16 ) being guided in a cylindrically-shaped hollow space ( 15 ) within the cylinder element ( 8 ), wherein the damping piston ( 16 ) bears against the cam disc ( 6 ),

wherein the first piston ( 7 ) and the cylinder element ( 8 ) are disposed on opposite sides of the cam disc ( 6 ), and wherein the first piston ( 7 ) is rigidly connected to the cylinder element ( 8 ) by a plurality of webs ( 9 ) between the first piston 0 and the cylinder element ( 8 ).

2. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first plug-in connection ( 34 ) comprises a first extension ( 38 ) at the first axle body ( 32 ) and a first recess ( 36 ) in the cam disc ( 6 ), the first recess being complementary to the first extension ( 38 ), or the first plug-in connection ( 34 ) comprises a first extension ( 38 ) at the cam disc ( 6 ) and a first recess ( 36 ) in the first axle body ( 32 ) complementary to the first extension ( 38 ), and

the second plug-in connection ( 35 ) comprises a second extension ( 9 ) at the second axle body ( 33 ) and a second recess ( 37 ) in the cam disc ( 6 ), which recess is complementary to the second extension ( 39 ), or the second plug-in connection ( 35 ) comprises a second extension ( 39 ) at the cam disc ( 6 ) and a second recess ( 37 ) in the second axle body ( 33 ) which recess is complementary to the second extension ( 39 ).

3. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein a smallest diameter ( 44 ) of the cam disc ( 6 ) is larger than a clearance distance ( 43 ) between two of the plurality of webs ( 9 ).

4. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first plug-in connection ( 34 ) comprises a first extension ( 38 ) at the first axle body ( 32 ) and a first recess ( 36 ) in the cam disc ( 6 ), the first recess being complementary to the first extension ( 38 ), or the first plug-in connection ( 34 ) comprises a first extension ( 38 ) at the cam disc ( 6 ) and a first recess ( 36 ) in the first axle body ( 32 ) complementary to the first extension ( 38 ).

5. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein:

the second plug-in connection ( 35 ) comprises a second extension ( 39 ) at the second axle body ( 33 ) and a second recess ( 37 ) in the cam disc ( 6 ), which recess is complementary to the second extension ( 39 ), or the second plug-in connection ( 35 ) comprises a second extension ( 39 ) at the cam disc ( 6 ) and a second recess ( 37 ) in the second axle body ( 33 ) which recess is complementary to the second extension ( 39 ).

6. An installation method for a door operator ( 1 ) comprising:

providing a housing;

forming an output shaft ( 3 ) comprising, as separate components: a cam disc ( 6 ), a first axle body ( 32 ) supported in the housing ( 2 ) and a second axle body ( 33 ) supported in the housing ( 2 ), the output shaft being formed by:

non-rotatably connecting the first axle body ( 32 ) to the cam disc ( 6 ) by a first plug-in connection ( 34 ), and

non-rotatably connecting the second axle body ( 33 ) to the cam disc ( 6 ) by a second plug-in connection ( 35 ),

the first and the second axle bodies ( 32 , 33 ) being disposed on opposite side of the cam disc ( 6 );

guiding a first piston ( 7 ), having a first piston length ( 28 ), in the housing so as to be linearly movable with regard to the housing ( 2 ) over the first piston length ( 28 ) such that the first piston ( 7 ) bears against the cam disc ( 6 );

guiding a cylinder element ( 8 ) having a cylinder length ( 29 ), in the housing ( 2 ) so as to bear against the housing ( 2 ) so as to be linearly movable with regard to the housing ( 2 ) over the cylinder length ( 29 ); and

guiding a damping piston ( 16 ), comprising a solid-walled cylinder surrounding a spring, in a cylindrically-shaped hollow space ( 15 ) within the cylinder element ( 8 ), wherein the damping piston ( 16 ) bears against the cam disc ( 6 ),

wherein the first piston ( 7 ) and the cylinder element ( 8 ) are disposed on opposite sides of the cam disc ( 6 ), and wherein the first piston ( 7 ) is rigidly connected to the cylinder element ( 8 ) by a plurality of webs ( 9 ) between the first piston ( 7 ) and the cylinder element ( 8 ).
