Abstract

A door actuator linkage includes a lever extending along a longitudinal axis, which merges into a linkage head with an offset, wherein the linkage head is formed for rotationally fixed mounting on an output shaft of a door actuator, wherein a free space for cable routing is formed by the offset. The free space is delimited by the linkage head and by an offset surface of the lever, wherein the lever protrudes up to an imaginary boundary surface, which is defined perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The offset surface is withdrawn partially from this boundary surface in order to expand the free space.

Claims (26)

1. A door actuator linkage, comprising:

a lever extending along a longitudinal axis, which merges into a linkage head with an offset,

wherein the linkage head is formed for rotationally fixed mounting on an output shaft of a door actuator,

wherein a free space for cable routing is formed by the offset, and the free space is delimited by the linkage head and by an offset surface of the lever,

wherein the lever protrudes up to an imaginary boundary surface, which is defined perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and wherein the offset surface is withdrawn partially from this boundary surface to expand the free space.

2. The door actuator linkage according to claim 1 , wherein the offset surface has an oblique section, which extends over the entire offset surface or a part of the offset surface.

3. The door actuator linkage according to claim 2 , wherein the offset surface adopts an angle in the oblique section with respect to the longitudinal axis, wherein an upper limit of the angle is 89°, and/or a lower limit of the angle is 30°.

4. The door actuator linkage according to claim 2 , wherein the oblique section extends from an acute angled end to an obtuse angled end and wherein the acute angled end is closer to the boundary surface than the obtuse angled end.

5. The door actuator linkage according to claim 1 , wherein at least one cable channel is formed in the lever and/or between the lever and a lever cladding surrounding the lever and/or in the lever cladding.

6. The door actuator linkage according to claim 4 , wherein the cable channel opens into the free space at the obtuse angled end.

7. The door actuator linkage according to claim 5 , wherein the cable channel runs horizontally laterally to the longitudinal axis.

8. The door actuator linkage according to claim 1 , wherein the offset surface has a convex abutment section, which extends over a part of the offset surface and is formed for the abutment of a cable.

9. The door actuator linkage according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a pivot member, which is formed for stationary mounting on the door actuator and is rotatable relative to the linkage head,

and a cable, which runs through the free space up to the pivot member,

wherein the linkage head is rotatable relative to the pivot member by at least 135°.

10. The door actuator linkage according to claim 9 , wherein the pivot member is arranged radially outside of the linkage head and inside of a radial cladding surrounding the linkage head.

11. The door actuator linkage according to claim 1 , wherein the free space is delimited by a free space cladding on the side opposite the linkage head.

12. The door actuator linkage according to claim 1 , wherein a form closure element is arranged on the side of the linkage head facing away from the free space, wherein the form closure element is formed for the form-fitting connection to the output shaft.

13. The door actuator linkage according to claim 1 , wherein the lever overlaps with the linkage head and is welded flat at the overlap.

14. The door actuator linkage according to claim 1 , wherein the lever is rotatably connected to another lever to form a scissors linkage.

15. The door actuator assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a slide rail and a slide piece guided linearly in the slide rail, wherein the lever is connected to the slide piece in a rotationally movable manner.

16. A door actuator assembly, comprising

a door actuator with an output shaft

and a door actuator linkage according to claim 1 , wherein the linkage head is formed for rotationally fixed mounting on an output shaft.

17. A revolving door assembly comprising a door actuator assembly according to claim 16 and a door leaf, wherein the door actuator is mounted on the door leaf and the door actuator linkage is formed for mounting on the frame or wall, and wherein a shoulder formed by the offset engages behind the door leaf.
