Abstract

A first moulding element is arranged on a vertical edge of a door leaf, and at least one second moulding element is arranged on a vertical strut of a door frame, wherein the first moulding element and the second moulding element intermesh automatically only in the closed position of the door leaf in such a manner that a direct or indirect form fit is automatically produced between the first moulding element and the second moulding element, as seen in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the door leaf, but such a form fit is automatically removed in a position of the door leaf differing from the closed position.

Claims

1. A door module for the disposal in a door opening of a wall of a car body of a vehicle, in particular of a rail vehicle, comprising:

at least one door wing;

a door portal which comprises two vertically disposed struts and two horizontally disposed struts, wherein the door wing is movable, relative to the door portal, between an opening position of a closing position;

at least one elastically deformable sealing element which in the closing position seals at least one vertical periphery of the door wing in relation to one of the vertically disposed struts of the door portal;

an electronic door control system which is provided for locking/unlocking or blocking/releasing the at least one door wing in relation to the door portal; and

at least one first molded element that is disposed on the vertical periphery of the door wing, and at least one second molded element that is disposed on the vertical strut of the door portal,

wherein the first molded element and the second molded element only in the closing position of the door wing automatically engage in one another in such a manner that, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the door wing, a direct or indirect form-fit is automatically produced between the first molded element and the second molded element, but such a form-fit is or will be automatically canceled in a position of the door wing that deviates from the closing position, and

wherein the automatic accomplishing and canceling of the form-fit is controlled by the movement of the door wing in the closing or opening direction and is separate from and independent of the electronic door control system.

2. The door module of claim 1, wherein the first molded element and/or the second molded element at least in part are/is formed by the at least one elastically deformable sealing element.

3. The door module of claim 1, wherein the at least one elastically deformable sealing element is configured so as to be separate from the first molded element and the second molded element.

4. The door module of claim 3, wherein the first molded element or the second molded element support the at least one elastically deformable sealing element in such a manner that the at least one elastically deformable sealing element when accomplishing the form-fit in the closing position configures a component part of the form-fit,

wherein the elastically deformable sealing element, supported by the first molded element, and the second molded element mutually engage in a form-fitting manner, or

wherein the elastically deformable sealing element, supported by the second molded element, and the first molded element mutually engage in a form-fitting manner.

5. The door module of claim 1, wherein

the first molded element is disposed on a door face of the door wing which, when viewed in relation to the car body, points inward, and the second molded element is disposed on a strut face of the vertical strut of the door portal which, when viewed in relation to the car body, points outward, or

the first molded element is disposed on a door face of the door wing which, when viewed in relation to the car body, points outward, and the second molded element is disposed on a strut face of the vertical strut of the door portal which, when viewed in relation to the car body, points inward.

6. The door module of claim 1, wherein first and second wedge faces that are configured so as to be complementary are disposed on the first molded element and/or on the second molded element and/or on the at least one elastically deformable sealing element in such a manner that the effect of the form-fit and/or the sealing effect, in a movement of the door wing proceeding from a position of the door wing in which the latter has not yet fully assumed the closing position, increases in the direction toward a terminal position of the closing position.

7. The door module of claim 1, wherein the at least one elastically deformable sealing element has an encased hollow region.

8. The door module of claim 1, wherein the first molded element and/or the second molded element have/has at least one base and at least one part that is movable in relation to the base in such a manner that the form-fitting mutual engagement of the first molded element and of the second molded element is accomplished by a movement of the movable part, the movement being initiated by the door wing assuming the closing position.

9. The door module of claim 1, wherein the first molded element and the second molded element and/or the at least one elastically deformable sealing element are disposed so as to be coplanar in relation to the plane of the door wing.

10. The door module of claim 1, wherein the first molded element and the second molded element and/or the at least one elastically deformable sealing element are disposed so as to be outwardly or inwardly offset in relation to the plane of the door wing.

11. The door module of claim 1, wherein in relation to the vertical disposal and extent of the molded elements it is provided:

a first molded element is disposed so as to be approximately centric in relation to the vertical periphery of the door wing, and a second molded element is disposed so as to be approximately centric in relation to the vertical strut of the door portal, or

the first molded element is disposed in relation to the vertical periphery of the door wing, and the second molded element is disposed in relation to the vertical strut of the door portal, in each case so as be along the entire vertical extent of the vertical periphery of the door wing and of the vertical strut of the door portal, or

a plurality of first molded elements are disposed in relation to the vertical periphery of the door wing, and a plurality of second molded elements are disposed in relation to the vertical strut of the door portal, so as to have in each case a mutual vertical spacing.

12. The door module of claim 1, wherein the door wing carries out a combined distancing/displacing movement or only a linear displacing movement in relation to the door portal.

13. The door module of claim 1, wherein the door module has two door wings, wherein first and second molded elements are in each case disposed on the two vertical struts of the door portal as well as on the opposite vertical peripheries of both door wings, and at least one elastically deformable sealing element is assigned to each pairing of one vertical periphery of a door wing and one vertically disposed strut of the door portal.

14. A car body for a rail vehicle having at least one wall having a door opening in which a door module of claim 1.

15. A rail vehicle having at least one car body of claim 14.
