Abstract

A door drive includes a housing and at least one regulating valve for the adjustable regulation of a fluid flow within the door drive.
The one regulating valve or at least one of the several regulating valves includes two ends with respectively one engaging part, in particular for a tool, wherein the one regulating valve or the regulating valves extend/s in such a manner through the housing that the engaging parts for adjusting the one regulating valve or the regulating valves may be manipulated from outside the housing.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A door drive including a housing and at least one regulating valve for the adjustable regulation of a fluid flow within the door drive, wherein the at least one regulating valves includes two ends with respectively one engaging part, wherein the at least one regulating valve extends in such a manner through the housing that the engaging parts are manipulatable for adjusting the at least one regulating valve from outside the housing, wherein the at least one regulating valve is disposed in such a manner that, in any mounting position of the door drive, at least one engaging part per regulating valve is accessible for an operator.

2. The door drive according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one regulating valve extends in a bearing or in a thread.

3. The door drive according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one regulating valve is supported in at least one valve sleeve, wherein the valve sleeve is accommodated in the door drive.

4. The door drive according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one valve sleeve includes at least one lateral opening for passing a fluid flow therethrough.

5. The door drive according to claim 1 , wherein an orifice is associated with the at least one regulating valve, wherein the at least one regulating valve cooperates with the associated orifice in such a manner that a covering degree of an orifice opening depends on the position of the at least one regulating valve in relation to the position of the orifice.

6. The door drive according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one regulating valve includes a first valve piston and a second valve piston, wherein the first valve piston includes the first engaging part and the second valve piston includes the second engaging part, wherein the first valve piston and the second valve piston are movable in relation to each other and/or in relation to the door drive.

7. The door drive according to claim 1 , wherein the first valve piston or the second valve piston or at least one of the several first valve pistons or of the second valve pistons includes a right-handed thread and the associated other valve piston includes a left-handed thread, wherein the valve pistons are guided in corresponding right-handed respectively left-handed threads.

8. The door drive according to claim 1 , wherein the first valve piston or at least one of the several first valve pistons includes an axially oriented reception compartment and the associated second valve piston at least one regulating pin, wherein the regulating pin projects at least partially into the reception compartment.

9. The door drive according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one regulating pin includes a truncated tip, wherein the truncated tip together with the associated reception compartment form an annular gap valve.

10. The door drive according to claim 8 , wherein an orifice is disposed between the at least one regulating pin and the associated reception compartment, wherein the covering degree of the orifice opening depends on the position of the first valve piston and/or the second valve piston in relation to the position of the orifice.

11. The door drive according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one regulating valve extends essentially vertically to the longitudinal axis of the door drive.

12. A method for adjusting the regulation of a fluid flow within a door drive, wherein the method further includes the following steps:
mounting the door drive according to claim 1 to a door, and
manipulating one of the engaging parts, by means of a tool.

13. A method for manufacturing a door drive, the method includes the following steps:
providing a door drive including a housing for accommodating at least one regulating valve for the adjustable regulation of a fluid flow within the door drive,
manufacturing at least one regulating valve, wherein the at least one regulating valve include/s at least two ends with respectively one engaging part,
inserting the at least one regulating valve into the housing such that the at least one regulating valve extends in such a way through the housing that the engaging parts for adjusting the at least one regulating valve may be manipulated from outside the housing, and at least one engaging part per regulating valve is accessible for an operator, in any mounting position of the door drive.
