Definitions

  • the invention relates to opening and closing devices motorized gates and more particularly the devices intended for sliding gates.
  • These types of gates are generally equipped with a presence between the two columns which makes it possible to stop the movement of the portal if an object or a person is in its path.
  • These detectors usually include an infrared transmitter attached to one columns and a receiver placed opposite the transmitter on the other column and able to detect the light rays emitted by the transmitter.
  • a disadvantage of these systems is that they require machining a pinion and a rack whose length is at least equal to the distance over which the gate moves. The manufacture of these parts mechanical is therefore expensive.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a motorized drive assembly for a sliding gate, characterized by what it includes a motorized block and a support in which the block is mounted with play and can slide in a generally vertical direction, the motorized unit comprising a motor, at least one wheel driven by the motor and a battery for powering the motor, the wheel being suitable for come into contact with the ground under the effect of the own weight of the motorized unit.
  • the motorized drive assembly has the advantage of being autonomous and does not require a physical link with a power supply exterior. This characteristic allows a very high speed for installing the opening and closing device.
  • the motorized block being mounted with play in the support, it can tilt in the plane of the wheel (s). In this way, the block mostly keeps at least one wheel in contact with the ground despite the irregularities of it. This advantageously allows him to adapt to the surface of the ground and overcome the irregularities encountered.
  • the motorized unit comprises at least two wheels aligned in the direction sliding gate movement. This feature allows increase the contact surface of the wheels with the ground and multiply the torque allowing the whole to tow the sliding gate.
  • the block may include a transmission element and the motor is able to rotate at least two of the wheels through of the transmission element. Since the engine drives two wheels, the block can tilt while keeping at least one drive wheel in contact with the ground. This characteristic ensures the training of portal despite the presence of small elements on its trajectory.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 are front and side views of a block motorized 100.
  • This block 100 comprises a chassis 1 consisting of a plate generally U-shaped in horizontal section. A horizontal sole 2 and a vertical plate 3 are fixed between the two wings of the chassis 1.
  • the sole 2 supports an electric motor 4 (of the window-lift motor type vehicle for example) as well as a battery 5 and an electronic card control 6.
  • Two wheels 7 are cantilevered on the plate vertical 3.
  • the motor 4 rotates the two wheels 7 by through a reducer 13 fixed on the vertical plate 3 by bolting.
  • the electronic control card 6 has four connections 7, 8, 9 and 10. This card 6 is connected to the battery 5 at the level of the connection 7.
  • the cable 11 for powering the motor 4 is connected to the connection 8.
  • Connections 9 and 10 are respectively connected to a presence detection cell and end detection means race not shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • Projecting support elements 12 are fixed on the wings of the chassis 1 in U so as to come to bear on a fixing support 200 shown schematically in Figure 3, in which the block is inserted motorized 100.
  • These support elements 12 are in the form of a half-cylinder slice in polymer material (for example in Delrin® or in Teflon®), the bearing surface being constituted by the surface portion cylindrical.
  • These elements 12 may have lateral chamfers making it possible to reduce their contact surface with the support 200 and limit friction.
  • the mounting bracket 200 shown in Figure 3 has a general U-shape in horizontal section with a bottom plate 14 and two wings 15. It has a length L2 slightly greater than the length L1 of the motorized unit 100 so as to allow sliding but also a certain tilting of the motorized block 100 in the support 200. Preferably the length L2 is longer than the length L1 from 1 to 2%.
  • the bottom plate 14 has holes (not shown) for the fixing of the support 200 by bolting on the lower part of a gate sliding.
  • a photosensitive cell 16 is mounted on the support of fixing 200.
  • Figures 4 to 6 show views from below, front and above the motorized unit 100 of FIGS. 1 and 2 inserted in the support of attachment 200 of Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 further shows the motorized block 100 inserted in the fixing support 200 as they can be integrated in a device for opening and closing a sliding gate 17.
  • the fixing support 200 is mounted integrally on a portal 17 at one of its lower ends.
  • the motorized block 100 was inserted into the U-shaped mounting bracket 200. In this way, the wheels 7 are in contact with the ground 18.
  • the block 100 moves on the ground 18 and the elements 12 come to bear on one of the wings 15 of the fixing support 200 located in the direction of movement.
  • the motorized block 100 drives the portal 17 in translation through the fixing support 200.
  • Block 100 Because the block 100 includes two wheels 7 and is mounted in the mounting bracket 200 with play, it is free to tilt. Block 100 mostly keeps its two wheels 7 in contact with the ground 18 despite the irregularities of it. This characteristic guarantees good adhesion of block 100 on the ground 18.
  • the block 100 can tilt while retaining at least one drive wheel 7 in contact with the ground 18. This characteristic ensures training of portal 17 despite the presence of elements of small dimensions finding on its path.
  • the battery 5 advantageously constitutes a weight which further increases the grip of the wheels 7 on the ground 18. This avoids resort to adding additional weight which would help the size of the block 100.
  • the mounting support 200 has a pair of contactors 19 supply arranged on the outer surface of the wing of the support 15 of attachment 200 located on the side corresponding to the closing direction F of the portal. These contactors 19 are connected to connector 10 of the card engine control electronics 6 4. This pair of contactors 19 is positioned opposite a second pair of contactors 20 fixed on one of the columns 21, so that the two pairs of contactors 19 and 20 come into contact with each other when the gate 17 is in closed position.
  • the contactors 20 fixed on the column 21 are connected to a source power supply.
  • the electronic control card 6 comprises means for detect the passage of the charging current from battery 5 (for example in the form of a resistance associated with a threshold detector) which are used to detect the end of travel of the gate when it is closed F.
  • An infrared emitter 22 is fixed to the column 21 and connected to the aforementioned power source. This transmitter 22 is positioned opposite the detection cell 16 secured to the fixing support 200.
  • the detection cell detection 16 is connected to the electronic control card 6.
  • the electronic card 6 controls stopping the motor 4 and, if necessary, rotating it in the opposite direction. So conventional way, if a presence is detected during a phase of gate F closing 17, the electronic card 6 commands the stop then the if necessary the reopening O of gate 17. Similarly, if the presence is detected during an opening phase O, the electronic card 6 commands the gate 17 to stop.
  • the block motorized 100 advantageously constitutes an autonomous assembly requiring no binding wiring with an external power supply.
  • a panel solar can be fixed on the gate and the transmitter as well as the cell photosensitive can both be fixed on the fixing support 200 in look of a mirror or reflector installed on one of the columns.
  • the motorized block no longer requires energy input by through the contactors placed on one of the columns. The device even faster to open and close installation since it does not require any installation of contactors or external energy sources.
  • the invention also relates to electric locks for sliding gates.
  • Manually operated sliding gates are generally provided with a lock comprising a hook-shaped bolt which can engage a strike forming slot located on the column on which the gate abuts. When the gate is in the closed position, the bolt is stuck in the slot. Whenever you want to open the gate, it is necessary to operate the lock using a key to lift the latch and release it from the slot.
  • This device is particularly ill-suited to gates motorized sliding doors operated remotely. Indeed, it requires that user manually unlocks the lock whenever he wants order the gate to open.
  • the device described includes a mechanism that can be electrically controlled.
  • This device includes coils, a plate magnetic, levers and spring means for maintain a hook-shaped latch in a lowered position.
  • the magnetic field created causes the displacement of the magnetic plate which then releases a lever.
  • the lever freed disengages from the means forming a spring which made it possible to keep the hook-shaped latch in the low position.
  • the bolt is then driven by a succession of levers in the raised position. In this position, it can be disengaged from the keeper.
  • the device also includes a barrel for actuating the lock using a key.
  • a barrel for actuating the lock using a key.
  • the barrel tab pushes the magnetic plate and the same so that previously, by a lever system, the bolt in the form of hook is moved to the raised position.
  • This type of lock can therefore be controlled electrically by the automatic gate opening device. In the event of a power cut or non-functioning of the opening and closing device automatic, the lock can be released manually.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an electric lock for simple, robust, inexpensive sliding gate that can be controlled by an automatic opening and closing device.
  • the invention provides a locking device for sliding gate characterized in that it comprises an actuator, a lever element, one end of which has a shape general hook, said end being adapted to be engaged in a keeper, and elastic means to hold the end of the element engaged in the keeper, the actuator being able to exert a force directly on the lever element to disengage the end of the hook-shaped element of the keeper.
  • This locking device can be installed on a motorized gate or not. If the gate is motorized, this locking device can be used with any type of motorized drive assembly portal.
  • the proposed locking device includes a mechanism simple, with a minimum of parts. This characteristic gives it several advantages.

Description

L'invention concerne les dispositifs d'ouverture et de fermeture motorisée de portails et plus particulièrement les dispositifs destinés aux portails coulissants.The invention relates to opening and closing devices motorized gates and more particularly the devices intended for sliding gates.

On connaít déjà des dispositifs automatisés d'ouverture et de fermeture d'un portail coulissant entre deux colonnes ou autres structures fixes. Ces dispositifs comprennent généralement un moteur fixé au sol qui entraíne un pignon denté. Le pignon engrène une crémaillère fixée sur un portail pour entraíner celui-ci en translation. Le portail présente en outre des roues qui lui permettent de se déplacer le long du sol lors de l'ouverture et de la fermeture. Pour faciliter le guidage des roues, des rainures peuvent être prévues sur le sol entre les deux colonnes.We already know automated devices for opening and closing of a sliding gate between two columns or other structures fixed. These devices generally include a motor fixed to the ground which drives a toothed pinion. The pinion meshes with a rack fixed on a portal to drive it in translation. The portal also presents wheels that allow it to move along the ground when opening and of the closure. To facilitate the guiding of the wheels, grooves can be provided on the floor between the two columns.

Ces types de portails sont en général munis d'un détecteur de présence entre les deux colonnes qui permet de stopper le mouvement du portail si un objet ou une personne se trouve sur sa trajectoire. Ces détecteurs comprennent généralement un émetteur infrarouge fixé sur l'une des colonnes et un récepteur placé en face de l'émetteur sur l'autre colonne et apte à détecter les rayons lumineux émis par l'émetteur.These types of gates are generally equipped with a presence between the two columns which makes it possible to stop the movement of the portal if an object or a person is in its path. These detectors usually include an infrared transmitter attached to one columns and a receiver placed opposite the transmitter on the other column and able to detect the light rays emitted by the transmitter.

Un inconvénient de ces systèmes est qu'ils nécessitent l'usinage d'un pignon et d'une crémaillère dont la longueur est au moins égale à la distance sur laquelle se déplace le portail. La fabrication de ces pièces mécaniques est donc coûteuse.A disadvantage of these systems is that they require machining a pinion and a rack whose length is at least equal to the distance over which the gate moves. The manufacture of these parts mechanical is therefore expensive.

Un autre inconvénient est que l'installation de la crémaillère peut être délicate, en particulier sur les portails ajourés. En outre, le moteur doit être fixé sur un sol suffisamment dur et à une hauteur permettant la mise en contact du pignon et de la crémaillère. Généralement, on réalise une chape de béton permettant de consolider le sol et d'ajuster la hauteur du moteur.Another disadvantage is that the installation of the rack can be delicate, especially on openwork gates. In addition, the engine must be fixed on a sufficiently hard ground and at a height allowing the setting contact of the pinion and the rack. Generally, we make a screed concrete to consolidate the ground and adjust the height of the engine.

Un autre inconvénient de ces systèmes est qu'ils nécessitent l'installation de connexions permettant l'alimentation du moteur et du détecteur de présence. Another disadvantage of these systems is that they require the installation of connections allowing the supply of the motor and the presence detector.

Le but de l'invention est de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un ensemble motorisé d'entraínement d'un portail coulissant, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un bloc motorisé et un support dans lequel le bloc est monté avec jeu et peut coulisser dans une direction généralement verticale, le bloc motorisé comportant un moteur, au moins une roue entraínée par le moteur et une batterie pour l'alimentation du moteur, la roue étant apte à venir en contact avec le sol sous l'effet du propre poids du bloc motorisé.The object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a motorized drive assembly for a sliding gate, characterized by what it includes a motorized block and a support in which the block is mounted with play and can slide in a generally vertical direction, the motorized unit comprising a motor, at least one wheel driven by the motor and a battery for powering the motor, the wheel being suitable for come into contact with the ground under the effect of the own weight of the motorized unit.

L'ensemble motorisé d'entraínement présente l'avantage d'être autonome et de ne pas nécessiter de lien matériel avec une alimentation extérieure. Cette caractéristique permet une très grande rapidité d'installation du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture.The motorized drive assembly has the advantage of being autonomous and does not require a physical link with a power supply exterior. This characteristic allows a very high speed for installing the opening and closing device.

Le bloc motorisé étant monté avec jeu dans le support, il peut basculer dans le plan de la ou des roue(s). De cette manière, le bloc conserve la plupart du temps au moins une roue en contact avec le sol malgré les irrégularités de celui-ci. Ceci lui permet avantageusement de s'adapter à la surface du sol et de franchir les irrégularités rencontrées.The motorized block being mounted with play in the support, it can tilt in the plane of the wheel (s). In this way, the block mostly keeps at least one wheel in contact with the ground despite the irregularities of it. This advantageously allows him to adapt to the surface of the ground and overcome the irregularities encountered.

Des aspects préférés mais non limitatifs de l'invention sont les suivants:

  • le support est fixé sur le portail coulissant et le bloc motorisé est apte à venir en butée horizontale sur ledit support de manière à tracter le portail coulissant,
  • le bloc motorisé comprend des éléments d'appui en saillis par l'intermédiaire desquels il vient en appui sur une paroi du support fixé sur le portail coulissant.
Preferred but non-limiting aspects of the invention are as follows:
  • the support is fixed on the sliding portal and the motorized unit is capable of coming into horizontal abutment on said support so as to tow the sliding portal,
  • the motorized unit comprises projecting support elements by means of which it comes to bear on a wall of the support fixed on the sliding gate.

Dans une mise en oeuvre du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture, le bloc motorisé comprend au moins deux roues alignées dans la direction de déplacement du portail coulissant. Cette caractéristique permet d'augmenter la surface de contact des roues avec le sol et de multiplier le couple permettant à l'ensemble de tracter le portail coulissant.In an implementation of the opening and closing device, the motorized unit comprises at least two wheels aligned in the direction sliding gate movement. This feature allows increase the contact surface of the wheels with the ground and multiply the torque allowing the whole to tow the sliding gate.

Le bloc peut comprendre un élément de transmission et le moteur est apte à entraíner en rotation au moins deux des roues par l'intermédiaire de l'élément de transmission. Etant donné que le moteur entraíne deux roues, le bloc peut basculer en conservant au moins une roue motrice en contact avec le sol. Cette caractéristique permet d'assurer l'entraínement du portail malgré la présence d'éléments de petites dimensions se trouvant sur sa trajectoire.The block may include a transmission element and the motor is able to rotate at least two of the wheels through of the transmission element. Since the engine drives two wheels, the block can tilt while keeping at least one drive wheel in contact with the ground. This characteristic ensures the training of portal despite the presence of small elements on its trajectory.

D'autres aspects préférés mais non limitatifs de l'invention sont les suivants:

  • des moyens de détection de présence sont fixés sur le support,
  • l'ensemble motorisé d'entraínement comprend en outre un module de commande apte à couper l'alimentation du moteur ou à commander la rotation du moteur en sens inverse,
  • les moyens de détection sont reliés au module de commande et le module est apte à couper l'alimentation du moteur lorsqu'une présence est détectée sur la trajectoire du portail coulissant,
  • le module de commande comprend des moyens pour détecter une phase de charge de la batterie.
Other preferred but nonlimiting aspects of the invention are the following:
  • the motorized drive assembly comprises means forming a contact engaging with external power supply means when the sliding gate is in an extreme position of its trajectory and causing the battery to charge,
  • the motorized drive assembly includes a solar panel connected to the battery,
  • presence detection means are fixed on the support,
  • the motorized drive assembly further comprises a control module capable of cutting the power to the motor or of controlling the rotation of the motor in the opposite direction,
  • the detection means are connected to the control module and the module is capable of cutting off the power to the motor when a presence is detected on the path of the sliding gate,
  • the control module includes means for detecting a battery charging phase.

Les figures 1 et 2 sont des vues de face et de côte d'un bloc motorisé 100. Ce bloc 100 comprend un châssis 1 constitué d'une plaque en forme générale de U en section horizontale. Une semelle horizontale 2 et une plaque verticale 3 sont fixées entre les deux ailes du châssis 1. La semelle 2 supporte un moteur électrique 4 (de type moteur de lève-vitre de véhicule par exemple) ainsi qu'une batterie 5 et une carte électronique de commande 6. Deux roues 7 sont montées en porte-à-faux sur la plaque verticale 3. Le moteur 4 entraíne en rotation les deux roues 7 par l'intermédiaire d'un réducteur 13 fixé sur la plaque verticale 3 par boulonnage.Figures 1 and 2 are front and side views of a block motorized 100. This block 100 comprises a chassis 1 consisting of a plate generally U-shaped in horizontal section. A horizontal sole 2 and a vertical plate 3 are fixed between the two wings of the chassis 1. The sole 2 supports an electric motor 4 (of the window-lift motor type vehicle for example) as well as a battery 5 and an electronic card control 6. Two wheels 7 are cantilevered on the plate vertical 3. The motor 4 rotates the two wheels 7 by through a reducer 13 fixed on the vertical plate 3 by bolting.

La carte électronique de commande 6 présente quatre connexions 7, 8, 9 et 10. Cette carte 6 est reliée à la batterie 5 au niveau de la connexion 7. Le câble 11 d'alimentation du moteur 4 est branché sur la connexion 8. Les connections 9 et 10 sont reliées respectivement à une cellule de détection de présence et à des moyens de détection de fin de course non représentés sur les figures 1 et 2.The electronic control card 6 has four connections 7, 8, 9 and 10. This card 6 is connected to the battery 5 at the level of the connection 7. The cable 11 for powering the motor 4 is connected to the connection 8. Connections 9 and 10 are respectively connected to a presence detection cell and end detection means race not shown in Figures 1 and 2.

Des éléments d'appui 12 en saillis sont fixés sur les ailes du châssis 1 en U de manière à venir en appui sur un support de fixation 200 représenté schématiquement à la figure 3, dans lequel est inséré le bloc motorisé 100. Ces éléments d'appuis 12 se présentent sous la forme d'une tranche de demi-cylindre en matière polymère (par exemple en Delrin® ou en Téflon®), la surface d'appui étant constituée par la portion de surface cylindrique. Ces éléments 12 peuvent présenter des chanfreins latéraux permettant de réduire leur surface de contact avec le support 200 et de limiter les frottements.Projecting support elements 12 are fixed on the wings of the chassis 1 in U so as to come to bear on a fixing support 200 shown schematically in Figure 3, in which the block is inserted motorized 100. These support elements 12 are in the form of a half-cylinder slice in polymer material (for example in Delrin® or in Teflon®), the bearing surface being constituted by the surface portion cylindrical. These elements 12 may have lateral chamfers making it possible to reduce their contact surface with the support 200 and limit friction.

Le support de fixation 200 représenté à la figure 3 présente une forme générale en U en section horizontale avec une plaque de fond 14 et deux ailes 15. Il présente une longueur L2 légèrement supérieur à la longueur L1 du bloc motorisé 100 de manière à permettre le coulissement mais aussi un certain basculement du bloc motorisé 100 dans le support 200. Préférentiellement la longueur L2 est plus longue que la longueur L1 de 1 à 2%.The mounting bracket 200 shown in Figure 3 has a general U-shape in horizontal section with a bottom plate 14 and two wings 15. It has a length L2 slightly greater than the length L1 of the motorized unit 100 so as to allow sliding but also a certain tilting of the motorized block 100 in the support 200. Preferably the length L2 is longer than the length L1 from 1 to 2%.

La plaque de fond 14 comporte des trous (non illustrés) pour la fixation du support 200 par boulonnage sur la partie inférieure d'un portail coulissant. Une cellule photosensible 16 est montée sur le support de fixation 200.The bottom plate 14 has holes (not shown) for the fixing of the support 200 by bolting on the lower part of a gate sliding. A photosensitive cell 16 is mounted on the support of fixing 200.

Les figures 4 à 6 représentent des vues de dessous, de face et de dessus du bloc motorisé 100 des figures 1 et 2 inséré dans le support de fixation 200 de la figure 3. La figure 5 représente en outre le bloc motorisé 100 inséré dans le support de fixation 200 tels qu'ils peuvent être intégrés dans un dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture d'un portail coulissant 17.Figures 4 to 6 show views from below, front and above the motorized unit 100 of FIGS. 1 and 2 inserted in the support of attachment 200 of Figure 3. Figure 5 further shows the motorized block 100 inserted in the fixing support 200 as they can be integrated in a device for opening and closing a sliding gate 17.

Sur la figure 5, le support de fixation 200 est monté solidaire sur un portail 17 au niveau de l'une de ses extrémités inférieures. Le bloc motorisé 100 a été inséré dans le support de fixation 200 en U. De cette manière, les roues 7 sont en contact avec le sol 18. Lorsque les roues 7 sont entraínées en rotation par le moteur 4, le bloc 100 se déplace sur le sol 18 et les éléments 12 viennent en appui sur l'une des ailes 15 du support de fixation 200 située dans la direction du mouvement. Le bloc motorisé 100 entraíne le portail 17 en translation par l'intermédiaire du support de fixation 200.In FIG. 5, the fixing support 200 is mounted integrally on a portal 17 at one of its lower ends. The motorized block 100 was inserted into the U-shaped mounting bracket 200. In this way, the wheels 7 are in contact with the ground 18. When the wheels 7 are driven in rotation by the motor 4, the block 100 moves on the ground 18 and the elements 12 come to bear on one of the wings 15 of the fixing support 200 located in the direction of movement. The motorized block 100 drives the portal 17 in translation through the fixing support 200.

Du fait que le bloc 100 comprend deux roues 7 et est monté dans le support de fixation 200 avec jeu, il est libre de basculer. Le bloc 100 conserve la plupart du temps ses deux roues 7 en contact avec le sol 18 malgré les irrégularités de celui-ci. Cette caractéristique garantie une bonne adhérence du bloc 100 sur le sol 18. Because the block 100 includes two wheels 7 and is mounted in the mounting bracket 200 with play, it is free to tilt. Block 100 mostly keeps its two wheels 7 in contact with the ground 18 despite the irregularities of it. This characteristic guarantees good adhesion of block 100 on the ground 18.

Etant donné que le moteur entraíne les deux roues 7 en rotation, le bloc 100 peut basculer en conservant au moins une roue motrice 7 en contact avec le sol 18. Cette caractéristique permet d'assurer l'entraínement du portail 17 malgré la présence d'éléments de petites dimensions se trouvant sur sa trajectoire.Since the motor drives the two wheels 7 in rotation, the block 100 can tilt while retaining at least one drive wheel 7 in contact with the ground 18. This characteristic ensures training of portal 17 despite the presence of elements of small dimensions finding on its path.

En outre, la batterie 5 constitue avantageusement un poids qui augmente encore l'adhérence des roues 7 sur le sol 18. On évite ainsi de recourir à l'ajout d'un poids supplémentaire qui contribuerait à l'encombrement du bloc 100.In addition, the battery 5 advantageously constitutes a weight which further increases the grip of the wheels 7 on the ground 18. This avoids resort to adding additional weight which would help the size of the block 100.

Le support de fixation 200 présente une paire de contacteurs 19 d'alimentation disposés sur la surface externe de l'aile du support 15 de fixation 200 se trouvant du côté correspondant à la direction F de fermeture du portail. Ces contacteurs 19 sont reliés au connecteur 10 de la carte électronique de commande 6 du moteur 4. Cette paire de contacteurs 19 est positionnée en regard d'une deuxième paire de contacteurs 20 fixée sur l'une des colonnes 21, de manière à ce que les deux paires de contacteurs 19 et 20 viennent en contact l'une de l'autre lorsque le portail 17 est en position fermée.The mounting support 200 has a pair of contactors 19 supply arranged on the outer surface of the wing of the support 15 of attachment 200 located on the side corresponding to the closing direction F of the portal. These contactors 19 are connected to connector 10 of the card engine control electronics 6 4. This pair of contactors 19 is positioned opposite a second pair of contactors 20 fixed on one of the columns 21, so that the two pairs of contactors 19 and 20 come into contact with each other when the gate 17 is in closed position.

Les contacteurs 20 fixés sur la colonne 21 sont reliés à une source d'alimentation électrique. Lorsque le portail 17 est en position fermée, la batterie 5 est chargée par cette source par l'intermédiaire des contacteurs 19 et 20. La carte électronique de commande 6 comprend des moyens pour détecter le passage du courant de charge de la batterie 5 (par exemple sous la forme d'une résistance associée à un détecteur à seuil) qui lui permettent de détecter la fin de course du portail lors de sa fermeture F.The contactors 20 fixed on the column 21 are connected to a source power supply. When the gate 17 is in the closed position, the battery 5 is charged by this source via contactors 19 and 20. The electronic control card 6 comprises means for detect the passage of the charging current from battery 5 (for example in the form of a resistance associated with a threshold detector) which are used to detect the end of travel of the gate when it is closed F.

Un émetteur infrarouge 22 est fixé sur la colonne 21 et relié à la source d'alimentation précitée. Cet émetteur 22 est positionné en regard de la cellule de détection 16 solidaire du support de fixation 200. La cellule de détection 16 est reliée à la carte électronique de commande 6. Lorsqu'une présence sur la trajectoire du portail 17 est détectée par la cellule 16 alors que le portail 17 est en mouvement, la carte électronique 6 commande l'arrêt du moteur 4 et le cas échéant sa rotation en sens inverse. Ainsi, de manière classique, si une présence est détectée pendant une phase de fermeture F du portail 17, la carte électronique 6 commande l'arrêt puis le cas échéant la réouverture O du portail 17. De même, si la présence est détectée pendant une phase d'ouverture O, la carte électronique 6 commande l'arrêt du portail 17.An infrared emitter 22 is fixed to the column 21 and connected to the aforementioned power source. This transmitter 22 is positioned opposite the detection cell 16 secured to the fixing support 200. The detection cell detection 16 is connected to the electronic control card 6. When a presence on the path of the gate 17 is detected by the cell 16 then the gate 17 is moving, the electronic card 6 controls stopping the motor 4 and, if necessary, rotating it in the opposite direction. So conventional way, if a presence is detected during a phase of gate F closing 17, the electronic card 6 commands the stop then the if necessary the reopening O of gate 17. Similarly, if the presence is detected during an opening phase O, the electronic card 6 commands the gate 17 to stop.

Dans la mise en oeuvre de l'invention décrite ci-dessus, le bloc motorisé 100 constitue avantageusement un ensemble autonome ne nécessitant pas de câblage contraignant avec une alimentation extérieure. Une fois que le support de fixation 200 a été vissé sur le portail 17, l'opérateur chargé de l'installation n'a qu'à insérer le bloc motorisé 100 dans le support 200. Il doit ensuite installer une paire de contacteurs 20 sur la colonne 21 et un câblage d'alimentation de ces contacteurs. Cette caractéristique permet une très grande rapidité d'installation du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture.In the implementation of the invention described above, the block motorized 100 advantageously constitutes an autonomous assembly requiring no binding wiring with an external power supply. Once the fixing support 200 has been screwed onto the gate 17, the operator in charge of the installation need only insert the motorized unit 100 into the support 200. It must then install a pair of contactors 20 on the column 21 and supply wiring for these contactors. This feature allows very rapid installation of the device opening and closing.

D'autres mises en oeuvres de l'invention sont bien entendu possibles. Par exemple, dans le cas où le portail coulissant se trouverait la majeure partie du temps en position ouverte (c'est le cas par exemple de portails situés à l'entrée de certaines entreprises), il est possible de placer une paire de contacteurs sur la surface externe de l'aile du support de fixation 200 se trouvant du côté correspondant au sens d'ouverture O du portail 17. Dans ce cas, des contacteurs d'alimentation devront être installés sur la colonne située en regard de l'aile 15 sur laquelle sont placés les contacteurs.Other implementations of the invention are of course possible. For example, if the sliding gate is located most of the time in the open position (for example, portals located at the entrance of certain companies), it is possible to place a pair of contactors on the outer surface of the wing of the support attachment 200 located on the side corresponding to the opening direction O of the gate 17. In this case, power contactors must be installed on the column located opposite wing 15 on which the contactors.

On peut aussi envisager d'installer deux paires de contacteurs, chacune sur l'une des ailes 15 du support 200, de manière à alimenter la batterie 5 aussi bien en position ouverte qu'en position fermée du portail. Cette mise en oeuvre peut avantageusement permettre de détecter la fin de course dans les deux sens O et F du mouvement du portail 17.We can also consider installing two pairs of contactors, each on one of the wings 15 of the support 200, so as to supply the battery 5 in both the open and closed position of the gate. This implementation can advantageously make it possible to detect the end of travel in both directions O and F of the gate movement 17.

Enfin, pour que l'ensemble soit totalement autonome, un panneau solaire peut être fixé sur le portail et l'émetteur ainsi que la cellule photosensible peuvent être tous deux fixés sur le support de fixation 200 en regard d'un miroir ou catadioptre installé sur l'une des colonnes. De cette manière, le bloc motorisé ne nécessite plus d'apport d'énergie par l'intermédiaire des contacteurs placés sur l'une des colonnes. Le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture ainsi mis en oeuvre est encore plus rapide d'installation puisqu'il ne nécessite aucune installation de contacteurs ou de sources d'énergie extérieure.Finally, so that the whole is completely autonomous, a panel solar can be fixed on the gate and the transmitter as well as the cell photosensitive can both be fixed on the fixing support 200 in look of a mirror or reflector installed on one of the columns. Of this way, the motorized block no longer requires energy input by through the contactors placed on one of the columns. The device even faster to open and close installation since it does not require any installation of contactors or external energy sources.

L'invention concerne également les serrures électriques pour portails coulissants.The invention also relates to electric locks for sliding gates.

Les portails coulissants actionnés manuellement sont généralement munis d'une serrure comprenant un pêne en forme de crochet pouvant s'engager dans une fente formant gâche située sur la colonne sur laquelle le portail vient en butée. Lorsque le portail est en position fermée, le pêne se trouve bloqué dans la fente. Chaque fois que l'on souhaite ouvrir le portail, il est nécessaire d'actionner la serrure à l'aide d'une clef pour soulever le pêne et le dégager de la fente.Manually operated sliding gates are generally provided with a lock comprising a hook-shaped bolt which can engage a strike forming slot located on the column on which the gate abuts. When the gate is in the closed position, the bolt is stuck in the slot. Whenever you want to open the gate, it is necessary to operate the lock using a key to lift the latch and release it from the slot.

Ce dispositif est particulièrement mal adapté aux portails coulissants motorisés actionnés à distance. En effet, il nécessite que l'utilisateur déverrouille manuellement la serrure à chaque fois qu'il veut commander l'ouverture du portail.This device is particularly ill-suited to gates motorized sliding doors operated remotely. Indeed, it requires that user manually unlocks the lock whenever he wants order the gate to open.

C'est pourquoi, il existe actuellement des serrures pouvant être actionnées automatiquement lors de l'ouverture du portail. Le brevet US 4,434,635 déposé le 6 mars 1984 au nom de F.A.M.A. di Sandra Borgato & C. décrit une serrure crochet automatisée pouvant être actionnée soit de manière électrique, soit à l'aide d'une clef.Therefore, there are currently locks that can be automatically activated when the gate is opened. The US patent 4,434,635 deposited on March 6, 1984 in the name of F.A.M.A. di Sandra Borgato & C. describes an automated hook lock that can be operated either from electrically, either with a key.

Le dispositif décrit comprend un mécanisme pouvant être commandé électriquement. Ce dispositif comprend des bobines, une plaque magnétique, des leviers et des moyens formant ressort permettant de maintenir un pêne en forme de crochet dans une position baissée. Lorsque les bobines sont alimentées, le champ magnétique créé entraíne le déplacement de la plaque magnétique qui libère alors un levier. Le levier libéré se désengage des moyens formant ressort qui permettaient de maintenir le pêne en forme de crochet en position basse. Le pêne est alors entraíné par une succession de leviers en position levée. Dans cette position, il peut être désengagé de la gâche. The device described includes a mechanism that can be electrically controlled. This device includes coils, a plate magnetic, levers and spring means for maintain a hook-shaped latch in a lowered position. When the coils are powered, the magnetic field created causes the displacement of the magnetic plate which then releases a lever. The lever freed disengages from the means forming a spring which made it possible to keep the hook-shaped latch in the low position. The bolt is then driven by a succession of levers in the raised position. In this position, it can be disengaged from the keeper.

Le dispositif comprend également un barillet permettant d'actionner la serrure à l'aide d'une clef. Lorsque l'utilisateur tourne la clef dans le barillet, le paneton du barillet repousse la plaque magnétique et de la même manière que précédemment, par un système de levier, le pêne en forme de crochet est déplacé en position levée.The device also includes a barrel for actuating the lock using a key. When the user turns the key in the barrel, the barrel tab pushes the magnetic plate and the same so that previously, by a lever system, the bolt in the form of hook is moved to the raised position.

Ce type de serrure peut donc être commandé électriquement par le dispositif d'ouverture automatique du portail. En cas de coupure d'électricité ou de non-fonctionnement du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture automatique, la serrure peut être désenclenchée manuellement.This type of lock can therefore be controlled electrically by the automatic gate opening device. In the event of a power cut or non-functioning of the opening and closing device automatic, the lock can be released manually.

L'inconvénient de ce dispositif est qu'il comprend de nombreuses pièces mécaniques. Il est par conséquent relativement coûteux à fabriquer et peu fiable à long terme.The disadvantage of this device is that it includes many mechanical parts. It is therefore relatively expensive to manufacture and unreliable in the long run.

Le but de la présente invention est de fournir une serrure électrique pour portail coulissant simple, robuste, peu coûteuse et pouvant être commandée par un dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture automatique.The object of the present invention is to provide an electric lock for simple, robust, inexpensive sliding gate that can be controlled by an automatic opening and closing device.

A cet effet, l'invention propose un dispositif de verrouillage pour portail coulissant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un actionneur, un élément formant levier dont l'une des extrémités présente une forme générale de crochet, ladite extrémité étant apte à être engagée dans une gâche, et des moyens élastiques pour maintenir l'extrémité de l'élément engagée dans la gâche, l'actionneur étant apte à exercer un effort directement sur l'élément formant levier pour désengager l'extrémité de l'élément en forme de crochet de la gâche.To this end, the invention provides a locking device for sliding gate characterized in that it comprises an actuator, a lever element, one end of which has a shape general hook, said end being adapted to be engaged in a keeper, and elastic means to hold the end of the element engaged in the keeper, the actuator being able to exert a force directly on the lever element to disengage the end of the hook-shaped element of the keeper.

Ce dispositif de verrouillage peut être installé sur un portail motorisé ou non. Dans le cas où le portail est motorisé, ce dispositif de verrouillage peut être utilisé avec tout type d'ensemble motorisé d'entraínement du portail.This locking device can be installed on a motorized gate or not. If the gate is motorized, this locking device can be used with any type of motorized drive assembly portal.

En outre, il peu être réalisé à l'aide d'éléments mécaniques présentant des formes géométriques simples, donc faciles à usiner et robustes. Ce qui confère au dispositif de verrouillage une grande fiabilité.In addition, it can be carried out using mechanical elements with simple geometric shapes, therefore easy to machine and robust. This gives the locking device great reliability.

Sur les figure 7 à 10, le dispositif de verrouillage 300 comprend un actionneur 1 (du type moteur de serrure électrique de voiture) fixé au fond du boítier 82 et dont l'axe de sortie 30 peut se translater entre deux position extrêmes correspondant à une extension minimale et une extension maximale suivant l'axe X. Le dispositif 300 comprend en outre un pêne 50 en forme générale de crochet monté pivotant autour d'un axe 70 et présentant un prolongement 50 formant levier. La partie 40 du pêne 50 en crochet s'étend à l'extérieur du boítier, le crochet 40 étant orienté vers le bas. Un ressort de torsion 60 permet de maintenir la partie du pêne 50 formant levier en appui sur l'extrémité de l'axe 30 du moteur.In FIGS. 7 to 10, the locking device 300 comprises a actuator 1 (of the electric car lock motor type) fixed to the bottom of the housing 82 and whose output axis 30 can be translated between two positions extremes corresponding to minimal extension and extension maximum along the X axis. The device 300 further comprises a bolt 50 generally in the form of a hook mounted pivoting about an axis 70 and having an extension 50 forming a lever. Part 40 of bolt 50 in hook extends outside the housing, the hook 40 being oriented towards the low. A torsion spring 60 keeps the part of the bolt 50 forming a lever bearing on the end of the axis 30 of the motor.

De cette manière, la translation de l'axe 30 du moteur suivant l'axe X entraíne la rotation du pêne 40 autour de l'axe 70. Lorsque l'axe 30 se trouve en position d'extension maximale, l'extrémité en crochet 40 du pêne se trouve en position levée. Lorsque l'axe 30 se trouve en position d'extension minimale, le ressort 60 exerce une force de rappel sur la partie du pêne 50 formant levier et ramène l'extrémité en crochet 40 en position basse.In this way, the translation of the axis 30 of the motor along the axis X causes the rotation of the bolt 40 around the axis 70. When the axis 30 in the maximum extension position, the hook end 40 of the bolt is in the raised position. When the axis 30 is in position minimal extension, the spring 60 exerts a restoring force on the part of the bolt 50 forming a lever and bringing the hook end 40 back into position low.

Sur la figure 7, le dispositif 300 est fixé sur un portail 17 coulissant au moyen de vis 80. Une colonne 21 constitue une butée lorsque le portail 17 se trouve en position fermée. La partie du pêne 40 en crochet se trouve en regard d'une fente 90 ménagée dans la colonne 21 constituant la gâche dans laquelle il peut venir s'engager.In FIG. 7, the device 300 is fixed on a sliding gate 17 by means of screws 80. A column 21 constitutes a stop when the gate 17 is in the closed position. The hook part of the bolt 40 is opposite a slot 90 formed in the column 21 constituting the keeper in which he can come and engage.

Un doigt 83 de guidage horizontal est fixé sur le boítier 82. Ce doigt 83 est par exemple constitué d'une tige dont l'extrémité présente un chanfrein. Ce doigt 83 est apte à venir s'engager dans un orifice 110 ménagé dans la colonne 21 lorsque le portail 17 se trouve en position fermée.A horizontal guide finger 83 is fixed to the housing 82. This finger 83 is for example constituted by a rod whose end has a chamfer. This finger 83 is capable of coming to engage in an orifice 110 formed in column 21 when the gate 17 is in position closed.

Lorsqu'on commande la fermeture du portail 17, celui-ci est déplacé dans le sens F. Pendant cette phase de fermeture, le crochet 40 est en position basse. Lorsque le portail 17 parvient à proximité de la colonne 21, le doigt 83 pénètre dans l'orifice 110, assurant le guidage du portail 17. L'extrémité du pêne 40 en crochet comprend une surface extérieure 120 inclinée venant en contact avec le rebord inférieur 13 de la gâche 90 et constituant un guide permettant d'entraíner la rotation du pêne 40 autour de son axe 70 dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre. Cette rotation engendre le soulèvement de l'extrémité en crochet 40. Ce soulèvement permet l'engagement progressif du crochet 40 dans la gâche 90. Lorsque le crochet 40 est entièrement engagé, le ressort de rappel 60 entraíne la rotation du pêne 40 dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre et l'enclenchement du crochet 40 dans la gâche 90.When the gate 17 is closed, it is moved in direction F. During this closing phase, the hook 40 is in low position. When the gate 17 comes close to the column 21, finger 83 enters hole 110, guiding gate 17. The end of the hook bolt 40 includes an outer surface 120 inclined coming into contact with the lower edge 13 of the keeper 90 and constituting a guide for driving the rotation of the bolt 40 around its axis 70 anticlockwise. This rotation generates the lifting of the hook end 40. This lifting allows the progressive engagement of the hook 40 in the keeper 90. When the hook 40 is fully engaged, the return spring 60 drives the rotation of the bolt 40 clockwise and engagement of the hook 40 in the keeper 90.

Un capot 140 solidaire du boítier 82 empêche l'accès au pêne 50 lorsque le portail est en position fermée. Ce capot 140 est constitué d'une pièce en forme de U qui enveloppe la partie horizontale du crochet 40 du pêne 50. Dans cette configuration, il permet avantageusement d'éviter qu'une personne puisse venir soulever le pêne 50 en glissant un élément entre le portail 17 et la colonne 21.A cover 140 secured to the housing 82 prevents access to the bolt 50 when the gate is in the closed position. This cover 140 consists of a U-shaped piece which wraps the horizontal part of the hook 40 of the bolt 50. In this configuration, it advantageously makes it possible to avoid that a person can come and lift the bolt 50 by sliding an element between gate 17 and column 21.

Sur la figure 9, on commande l'ouverture du portail 17. Le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture motorisé relié au moteur par les connexions 150 commande l'alimentation du moteur 81 pendant une durée prédéterminée. L'axe 30 du moteur 81 se déplace en position d'extension maximale, entraínant la rotation du pêne 50 autour de l'axe 70 dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre. Cette rotation engendre le soulèvement du crochet 40 et son désenclenchement de la gâche 90. Le portail 17 peut alors se déplacer dans le sens d'ouverture O. Au bout de la durée prédéterminée, l'alimentation du moteur 81 est coupée, l'axe 30 revient en position d'extension minimale et le crochet 40 revient en position basse.In FIG. 9, the gate 17 is opened. The device opening and closing motorized connected to the motor by connections 150 controls the supply of the motor 81 for a predetermined period. The axis 30 of the motor 81 moves to the position of maximum extension, causing the rotation of the bolt 50 around the axis 70 in the opposite direction clockwise. This rotation causes the lifting of the hook 40 and its release from the keeper 90. The gate 17 can then move in the opening direction O. At the end of the duration the motor 81 is cut off, the axis 30 returns to minimum extension position and the hook 40 returns to the low position.

Sur la figure 10, on réalise l'ouverture du portail 17 de façon manuelle. A cet effet, on actionne une serrure à barillet 160 à l'aide d'une clef. Le paneton 170 du barillet 160 pivote et vient en appui sur un levier 180 pouvant pivoter autour d'un axe 190 et venir en appui sur la partie du pêne 50 formant levier. Ce système à double levier permet avantageusement de démultiplier le couple exercé par l'utilisateur sur la clef. La rotation de la clef dans le barillet 160 entraíne la rotation du pêne 50 dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre. De la même manière que sur la figure 3, cette rotation engendre le soulèvement du crochet 40 et son désenclenchement de la gâche 90. Le portail 17 peut alors être déplacé manuellement selon la direction O.In FIG. 10, the gate 17 is opened so that manual. For this purpose, a cylinder lock 160 is actuated using a key. The barrel 170 of the barrel 160 pivots and comes to bear on a lever 180 can pivot about an axis 190 and come to bear on the part of the bolt 50 forming a lever. This double lever system allows advantageously to multiply the torque exerted by the user on the key. The rotation of the key in the barrel 160 causes the rotation of the bolt 50 counterclockwise. The same way as in FIG. 3, this rotation generates the lifting of the hook 40 and its release of strike plate 90. Gate 17 can then be moved manually in direction O.

Sur la figure 11, on a représenté un exemple de moyens d'alimentation du dispositif de verrouillage du portail 17.In FIG. 11, an example of means has been shown. for the gate locking device 17.

Ces moyens d'alimentation comprennent deux contacteurs fixes 29 positionnés sur la face latérale du boítier 82 venant en contact avec la colonne 21. Ces deux contacteurs 29 sont reliés par deux fils conducteurs 32 aux connexions 150 d'alimentation du moteur 81. Les moyens d'alimentation comprennent également deux plots mobiles 31 positionnés sur la colonne 21, en regard des contacteurs 29. Les plots 31 sont reliés à une source d'alimentation électrique. Ces plots 31 viennent en contact avec les contacteurs fixes 29 lorsque le portail 17 est en position fermée.These supply means include two fixed contactors 29 positioned on the side face of the housing 82 coming into contact with the column 21. These two contactors 29 are connected by two conducting wires 32 to the power supply connections 150 of the motor 81. The means supply also include two movable pads 31 positioned on column 21, opposite contactors 29. The studs 31 are connected to a source of electrical power. These pads 31 come into contact with the fixed contactors 29 when the gate 17 is in the closed position.

Les plots d'alimentation 31 sont mobiles en translation selon la direction d'ouverture du portail 17. Des moyens élastiques (non-représentés) maintiennent les plots mobiles 31 dans une position d'extension maximale en direction du portail 17.The supply pads 31 are movable in translation along the opening direction of gate 17. Elastic means (not shown) keep the movable pads 31 in a position maximum extension towards gate 17.

Lorsqu'on commande l'ouverture du portail 17, le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture motorisé commande l'alimentation du moteur 81 pendant une durée prédéterminée. Une tension est alors appliquée entre les plots d'alimentation 31. Le moteur 81 actionne le pêne 50 et entraíne son désenclenchement de la gâche 90. Simultanément, le portail 17 se déplace dans le sens d'ouverture O.When the gate 17 is opened, the device motorized opening and closing controls power to the motor 81 for a predetermined period. A voltage is then applied between the supply studs 31. The motor 81 actuates the bolt 50 and drives its release from the strike 90. Simultaneously, the gate 17 is moves in the opening direction O.

Les plots 31 sont maintenus en contact avec les contacteurs 29 par les moyens élastiques. Ces plots 31 présentent une longueur suffisante pour assurer ce contact durant le début de l'ouverture du portail 17. Le crochet 40 est ainsi maintenu en position haute tant que les plots 31 sont en contact avec les contacteurs 29. Ce contact n'est rompu et l'alimentation du moteur 81 n'est coupée que lorsque le crochet 40 est totalement extrait de la gâche 90.The pads 31 are kept in contact with the contactors 29 by elastic means. These studs 31 have a sufficient length to ensure this contact during the start of the opening of gate 17. The hook 40 is thus held in the high position as long as the studs 31 are in contact with contactors 29. This contact is not broken and the power to the motor 81 is only switched off when the hook 40 is completely extracted from strike 90.

Lorsqu'on commande la fermeture du portail 17, celui-ci est déplacé dans le sens F. La surface extérieure 120 inclinée du crochet 40 vient en contact avec le rebord inférieur 130 de la gâche 90 et entraíne la rotation du pêne 50 autour de son axe 70 dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre. Cette rotation engendre le soulèvement de l'extrémité du crochet 40 du pêne 50 et son engagement progressif dans la gâche 90. Lorsque le crochet 40 est entièrement engagé, le ressort de rappel 60 entraíne la rotation du pêne 50 dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre et l'enclenchement du crochet 40 dans la gâche 90.When the gate 17 is closed, it is moved in direction F. The inclined outer surface 120 of the hook 40 comes in contact with the lower edge 130 of the striker 90 and causes the rotation of the bolt 50 around its axis 70 anticlockwise shows. This rotation generates the lifting of the end of the hook 40 of the bolt 50 and its progressive engagement in the keeper 90. When the hook 40 is fully engaged, the return spring 60 drives the rotation of the bolt 50 clockwise and engagement of the hook 40 in the keeper 90.

Lors de la fermeture du portail 17, les contacteurs 29 viennent en appui sur les plots mobiles 31 et entraínent leur rétraction vers la colonne 21.When the gate 17 closes, the contactors 29 come in support on the mobile pads 31 and cause their retraction towards the column 21.

Bien entendu, d'autres moyens d'alimentation du dispositif de verrouillage peuvent être prévus.Of course, other means of supplying the device locking can be provided.

Par exemple, dans une variante des moyens d'alimentation de la figure 11, ceux-ci comprennent un panneau solaire et une batterie intégrée au boítier 82. La batterie permet de fournir la tension nécessaire pour commander le moteur 81.For example, in a variant of the supply means of the figure 11, these include a solar panel and a built-in battery to the housing 82. The battery provides the necessary voltage for control the motor 81.
