Abstract

The present approach relates to a door moving device ( 110 ). The door moving device ( 115 ) comprises at least a force providing device ( 200 ), a drive device ( 205 ), and a brake device ( 210 ). The force providing device ( 200 ) is configured to provide the force for controlling a movement of the door ( 110 ). The drive device ( 205 ) is configured to generate a drive torque for driving the force providing device ( 200 ). The brake device ( 210 ) can be actuated electrically, and is configured to generate a braking torque when not provided with electricity for braking the force providing device ( 200 ) for the door ( 110 ).

Claims (18)

1 . A door moving device for a door, wherein the door moving device comprises:

a force providing device for providing a force for controlling a movement of the door;

a drive device that is configured to generate a drive torque for powering the force providing device; and

an electrically actuated brake device that is configured to generate a braking torque for braking the force providing device when not supplied with electricity.

2 . The door moving device according to claim 1 , in which the brake device comprises at least a magnetorheological material and an actuator for adjusting a viscoelastic property of the magnetorheological material.

3 . The door moving device of claim 1 , wherein the brake device is configured to generate a first braking torque when not supplied with electricity, and a second braking torque, which is lower than the first braking torque, when the brake device is supplied with electricity.

4 . The door moving device of claim 1 , which has a regulating device that is configured to output a drive signal for controlling the drive device and/or a brake signal for controlling the brake device.

5 . The door moving device of claim 1 , wherein the drive device comprises an electric motor.

6 . The door moving device of claim 1 , wherein the force providing device comprises a shaft that is coupled to the brake device.

7 . The door moving device of claim 1 , further comprising a gear ratio device that couples the drive device with the force providing device.

8 . The door moving device of claim 1 , wherein the force providing device comprises a gearwheel at one end for applying the force to the door.

9 . The door moving device of claim 1 , wherein the force providing device comprises an element of a hinge for the door.

10 . The door moving device of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor device that is configured to detect a closing angle and/or a torque in the movement of the door.

11 . The door moving device of claim 1 , further comprising an environment sensor device that is configured to detect an obstacle in a movement range of the door.

12 . A door system that has a door and a door moving device of claim 1 , wherein the force providing device of the door moving device is coupled to the door.

13 . A method for moving a door, wherein the method comprises:

generating a drive torque for driving a force providing device for providing a force for controlling the movement of the door; and

generating a braking torque for braking the force providing device using an electrically actuated brake device, wherein the brake device generates the tracking torque when not provided with electricity.
