Abstract

A door operator includes a housing and at least one linearly guided piston in the housing. A roller carrier is disposed in the piston and includes a rotatably movable supported pressure roller. The piston is formed as a deep drawn structural component and includes a bottom and a circumferential walling. The support and the axial guiding of the roller carrier with a pressure roller within the piston can be realized in a simple and cost effective manner. Furthermore, an aperture is provided in the bottom of the piston, through which the pressure roller protrudes to the outside beyond the bottom of the piston.

Claims (15)

1. A door operator comprising: a housing and at least one linearly guided piston disposed in the housing, a roller carrier disposed in the piston and including a rotatably movable supported pressure roller, wherein the piston is formed as a deep drawn structural component and includes a bottom and a circumferential walling, an aperture is provided in the bottom of the piston and the pressure roller projects outwardly beyond the bottom; and a spring extends into the piston and is configured to move the piston towards a cam which is attached to a pivoting axis for a door assembly.

2. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the roller carrier is essentially configured as U-shaped.

3. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the roller carrier is configured as a stamped bent part.

4. The door operator according to claim 2 , wherein the roller carrier includes free branches that protrude beyond the bottom outwardly and are laterally fixed by means of the aperture.

5. The door operator according to claim 2 , wherein the roller carrier includes free branches having lateral shoulders and serve for supporting the roller carrier at the interior side of the bottom.

6. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of flangings, which serve for supporting the roller carrier, are disposed in the circumferential walling of the piston.

7. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure roller is supported via a bolt in the roller carrier and the bolt is supported in its axial direction at the aperture.

8. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein a carrying plate, which abuts against the roller carrier, is disposed in the piston.

9. The door operator according to claim 8 , wherein the carrying plate is able to extend between a plurality of flangings disposed in the circumferential walling of the piston.

10. The door operator according to claim 8 , wherein the carrying plate is configured as a stamped bent part.

11. The door operator according to claim 8 , wherein the spring abuts against the carrying plate.

12. The door operator according to claim 8 , wherein a non-return valve and/or a pressure control valve is disposed in the carrying plate.

13. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein depressions are provided adjacent the bottom and are configured for receiving bearing shells and/or other structural components.

14. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the piston is configured as a reversed drawn structural component.

15. The door operator according to claim 1 , wherein the piston is configured as a sheet metal part.
