Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A drive device for pivoting a leaf, in particular a door leaf or window leaf, about a leaf axis, the drive device having a motor-transmission module, the motor-transmission module including an electric machine having a machine axis as well as a transmission having an output shaft that is mounted to be rotatable about an output axis. The electric machine is at least partially, in particular entirely, arranged in a mounting space between the leaf axis and the output axis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A drive device for pivoting a leaf about a leaf axis, in a door leaf or a window leaf, with a motor-gear module, wherein the motor-gear module has an electric machine with a machine axis and a gear with an output shaft which is mounted so as to be rotatable about an output axis, wherein the electric machine is arranged at least partially in an installation space between the leaf axis and the output axis, wherein the drive device has a closer module with a mechanical energy storage device and a transmission element for translating a linear movement of the energy storage device into a rotational movement of the transmission element, wherein the output axis and an axis of rotation of the transmission element run spaced apart from one another, parallel to one another, and the output axis is arranged in an installation space between the machine axis and the axis of rotation of the transmission element, wherein the drive device comprises at least one interface element for forming an operative connection between the motor-gear module and the closer module, in that the interface element comprises at least one gear wheel. 2 . The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the gear with the output shaft is arranged at least partially in an installation space between the output axis and the machine axis. 3 . The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the motor-gear module has a motor-gear housing with a first side wall facing the leaf axis and a second side wall facing away from the leaf axis, wherein the electric machine is arranged at least partially in an installation space between the first side wall and the output shaft. 4 . The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the machine axis and the output axis run parallel. 5 . The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the output shaft is connected to a lever in a rotationally-fixed manner to form a connection of the drive device to the leaf or to a frame, wherein the lever is guided in a slide rail and configured whereby a voltage supply of the electric machine and/or at least one control signal for the electric machine is transferred via the lever to the motor-gear module. 6 . The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the gear with the output shaft is designed as a toothed gear. 7 . The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the electric machine is formed as an axial flux machine with a stator and a rotor. 8 . The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the electric machine comprises a stator with a plate-shaped, stator base, and a plurality of stator teeth protruding from the stator base in the axial direction of the machine. 9 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission element is designed as a cam disc. 10 . The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the gear with the output shaft has a transmission ratio as a quotient of the speed of a rotor of the electric machine as a dividend and the speed of the output shaft, wherein the transmission ratio is less than 125. 11 . A swing leaf arrangement with a leaf, a door leaf or a window leaf, which is pivoted between a closed position and an open position, wherein the leaf has a secondary closing edge facing the leaf axis and a main closing edge opposite the secondary closing edge, wherein the leaf is mounted on the secondary closing edge by at least one hinge to be rotatable about the leaf axis, and with a drive device according to claim 1 , wherein an electric machine is arranged at least partially in an installation space between the leaf axis and the output axis. 12 . The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one gear wheel is coaxially arranged and rotationally-fixed with respect to the transmission element. 13 . The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the mechanical energy storage device includes one or a plurality of compression springs or tension springs that are connected to the transmission element via a linkage carriage with a plurality of sliding elements.
