Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A drive unit for a door includes an electronically commutated multipole motor having: a stator part configured to be arrangable at a stationary structural component part; and a rotor part configured to be gearlessly connectable to a rotationally drivable element. The stator part and the rotor part include sheet metal elements stacked in a package-like manner. The sheet metal elements of the stator part and the sheet metal elements of the rotor part extend parallel to one another.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A drive unit for a door, the drive unit comprising: an electronically commutated multipole motor ( 1 ) having: (i) a stator part ( 10 ) configured to be arrangable at a stationary structural component part ( 11 ); and (ii) a rotor part ( 12 ) configured to be gearlessly connectable to a rotationally drivable element, wherein the stator part ( 10 ) comprises a plurality of stator sheet metal elements ( 13 ) and the rotor part ( 12 ) comprises a plurality of rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ), the stator sheet metal elements ( 13 ) and the rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ) being stacked in a package-like manner, and wherein the stator sheet metal elements ( 13 ) and the rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ) extend parallel to one another, and wherein a first subset of the plurality of stator sheet metal elements ( 13 ) extend substantially over the entire cross-sectional area of the stator part ( 10 ) and a second subset of the plurality of stator sheet metal elements have comb-like structural portions ( 15 ). 2. The drive unit according to claim 1 , wherein the stator part ( 10 ) and/or the rotor part ( 12 ) have/has a disk-shaped or cup-shaped form formed by the shape of at least one of the sheet metal elements ( 13 , 14 ), the rotor part ( 12 ) extending substantially plane-parallel to the stator part ( 10 ). 3. The drive unit according to claim 1 , further comprising coil elements ( 16 ) arranged between the stator part ( 10 ) and the rotor part ( 12 ) and coupled to the structural portions ( 15 ). 4. The drive unit according to claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of magnet elements ( 17 ) arranged between the stator part ( 10 ) and the rotor part ( 12 ), the magnet elements ( 17 ) being arranged at one or more of the rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ). 5. The drive unit according to claim 4 , wherein the magnet elements ( 17 ) are arranged at a plurality of rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ) such that the magnet elements ( 17 ) extend over a plurality of edge faces ( 18 ) of the rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ) stacked one above the other in a package-like manner. 6. The drive unit according to claim 1 , wherein the stator and rotor sheet metal elements ( 13 , 14 ) comprise a magnetizable material. 7. The drive unit according to claim 4 , wherein the stator sheet metal elements ( 13 ) coupled to the coil elements ( 16 ) and the rotor sheet metal elements ( 14 ) coupled to the magnet elements ( 17 ) each form a magnetic back iron. 8. The drive unit according to claim 1 , wherein the stator and rotor sheet metal elements ( 13 , 14 ) comprise sheet metal segments configured so as to be placed together and/or joined to one another so as to be stacked on top of one another, plane by plane, to form a flat-cylindrical multipole motor ( 1 ). 9. The drive unit according to claim 1 , further comprising a bearing arrangement ( 19 ) by which the rotor part ( 12 ) is rotatably coupled to the stator part ( 10 ) in an approximately plane-parallel arrangement, in a drive axis ( 22 ) of the multipole motor ( 1 ). 10. The drive unit according to claim 9 , wherein the bearing arrangement ( 19 ) has at least one rolling bearing ( 20 ) configured as an axial bearing and/or the bearing arrangement ( 19 ) has at least one plain bearing ( 21 ) configured as an axial and/or radial bearing. 11. The drive unit according to claim 4 , wherein the magnet elements ( 17 ) are arranged at the rotor part ( 12 ) opposite the coil elements ( 16 ) at the stator part ( 10 ) so as to form a radial gap ( 23 ), wherein the coil elements ( 16 ) and the magnet elements ( 17 ) have an axial offset ( 24 ) with respect to one another. 12. A revolving door with a drive unit according to claim 1 . 13. The drive unit according to claim 1 , wherein the door is a revolving door. 14. The drive unit according to claim 13 , wherein the rotationally drivable element is a turnstile of the revolving door. 15. The drive unit according to claim 6 , wherein the magnetizable material is a ferrous material.
