Description

The invention relates to a method for parameterizing an automatic door or window system according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

From the DE 35 15 945 C2 an automatic door system with a drive device for automatically driving at least one door leaf is known. A control device is used to control the drive device, with at least one operating parameter required for operating the door system being stored in the control device. A data input device is provided for setting and/or changing operating parameters, which can be connected to the control device and is designed for manual parameter input. This method is time-consuming, especially if a large number of operating parameters are to be set or changed one after the other, and carries the risk of incorrect entries.

The invention is based on the object of creating a door or window system whose parameters can be set in a simple and fail-safe manner.

The object is solved by the features of patent claim 1.

The dependent claims form advantageous configuration options of the invention.

An image acquisition device is provided for acquiring a reference pattern, wherein at least one operating parameter can be determined from the reference pattern by means of a calculation device. This makes parameterization much easier and eliminates the risk of incorrect entries.

The operating parameter can advantageously be calculated by evaluating dimensions, e.g. widths and/or heights in the recorded reference pattern.

The reference pattern may include at least a portion of the door or window assembly. For example, all essential dimensions of the door or window system can be calculated from a known extent of at least one of the components of the door or window system depicted in the reference pattern. For example, the height of the cover element of the drive unit can be used as a reference value. A visible, permanent imprint, e.g. a manufacturer's logo, can also be used as a reference if its dimensions are known.

Alternatively or additionally, the reference pattern can include at least one reference element. Components whose dimensions are known are suitable as a reference element, e.g. Elements with a visible measuring scale, e.g. rulers, protractors, etc., are also suitable as reference elements. The main dimensions of the door or window system can then be determined in the reference sample using the measuring scale shown.

Alternatively or additionally, the operating parameter can be calculated by evaluating at least one coding detected by the image detection device. So-called QR codes, for example, are suitable for this. The coding can be attached temporarily or permanently in a visible area of the door or window system.

Information about the configuration of the door or window system can also be derived from the recorded reference pattern, for example about the type and number of installed sensor devices and/or other assemblies of the drive device. If nameplates are shown in the reference sample, their contents can also be read out in order to obtain information about the specific design of the assemblies concerned, for example the technical data, the year of construction, etc.

A calculation device is advantageously present for calculating the operating parameter. This can be present, for example, in the control device or in the image acquisition device.

If the calculation device is arranged in the image acquisition device, the image acquisition device can already transfer the calculated operating parameter to the control device.

If, on the other hand, the calculation device is part of the control device, the image acquisition device transfers the reference pattern to the control device as an image signal.

Alternatively, the calculation device can of course also be present in another component which converts the image signal from the image acquisition device into an operating parameter for the control device or at least into an intermediate variable that can be further processed.

The image acquisition device, which can be embodied as a digital photo and/or film camera, for example, can have at least one interface for data transmission to the control device. The interface can be designed for wired or wireless data transmission, for example as a USB or Bluetooth interface. It is also conceivable to use a mobile phone equipped with a camera as the image capturing device.

An exemplary embodiment in the drawing is explained in more detail below with reference to the figures.

show:

• 1 an automatic door or window system in front view;
• 2 the door or window system 1 with highlighting of some of the components that can be used for parameterization.

In the 1 an automatic door or window system 1 designed as a sliding door system is shown in a front view. In the specific exemplary embodiment, the door or window system 1 has two wings 4, which are driven in opposite directions by a common drive device 3 and are designed as sliding door leaves, which are slidably guided on the top side on a stationary guide device, for example by means of roller carriages on a guide rail, which together with the drive device 3 a stationary frame construction 2, for example on a frame part of a mullion and transom construction above the passage area of the door or window system 1 is arranged. The passage area of the door or window system 1 that can be closed by the leaf 4 is delimited at the side by fixed panels 5 and at the top by the drive device 3 and by skylights 6 . In alternative configurations, the door or window system can also be designed, for example, as a folding door, revolving door or revolving door system or as an automatically driven window or skylight.

The drive device 3 has a control device 7, by which an electric drive motor 9 can be controlled, the output shaft of which acts on the wings 4 via a gear 10 and a power transmission device (not shown), for example a rotating drive belt.

In addition to a power supply unit 11, which is connected to the electrical power supply network, there is also an electrical energy store 12, for example a rechargeable battery, for the electrical power supply, which, in the event of a failure of the electrical power supply network and/or the power supply unit 11, at least ensures that the door is in a safe state - Or window system 1, possibly even a limited continued operation of the door or window system 1 allows.

The operating mode of the door or window system 1 can be selected using a program switch 13 . Furthermore, the door or window system 1 has a sensor device 8, which emits a signal indicating the movement and/or presence of people in the area of the door or window system 1 to the control device 7, whereupon the control device 7 activates the drive motor 9 accordingly can.

The automatic operation of the door or window system 1 is based on operating parameters that are stored in the control device 7 . The following operating parameters are common, among others: type of door or window system 1 (e.g. sliding door, revolving door, tilting window, etc.), type of installation of the drive device 3 (e.g. slide rail, scissor linkage, chain drive, etc.), number of leaves 4, width and/or or height of wings 4.

In order to determine these operating parameters without the time-consuming manual input required in the prior art, the door or window system 1 is recorded in a simple manner using an image acquisition device 14, ie a reference pattern 15 is generated which, for example, is a digital photograph of essential areas of the door or Window system 1 can be. For this purpose, the image acquisition device 14 can be embodied, for example, as a digital photo and/or film camera and can thus supply static and/or moving image signals.

A calculation device is provided for deriving the operating parameters from the reference pattern 15 . This can be present, for example, in the control device 7 and/or in the image acquisition device 14 . If the calculation device is arranged in the image acquisition device 14 , the image acquisition device 14 can already transfer the calculated operating parameters to the control device 7 . If the calculation device is part of the control device 7, the image acquisition device 14 transfers the reference pattern 15 to the control device 7 as an image signal. The image acquisition device 14 has at least one interface 16 for data transmission to the control device. The interface 16 can be designed for wired or wireless data transmission, e.g. as a USB or Bluetooth interface.

In 2 some of the components that can be used for parameterization are shown. The reference pattern 15 can depict areas and/or components of the door or window system 1 whose dimensions are known as a reference variable. For example, the height h ₃ of the drive device 3 can be specified as known, so that other operating parameters can be derived from this known measurement, eg the width b ₁ of the passage of the door or window system 1 or the height h ₄ and/or the width b ₄ of the wing 4. The width b ₈ and/or the height h ₈ of the sensor device 8 or the width b ₁₃ and/or the height h ₁₃ of the program switch 13 can also be considered as further reference variables. Visible, permanent imprints 17 or embossing are also suitable as a reference variable, provided their dimensions are known, for example the width b ₁₇ and/or the height h ₁₇ of a manufacturer's logo.

Alternatively or additionally, a reference element can be imaged in the detected reference pattern 15, the reference element not being a permanent part of the door or window system 1, but being placed temporarily in the area of the door or window system 1 to detect the reference pattern 15. A test body 20, for example, is suitable as a reference element, the width b ₂₀ and/or height h ₂₀ of which are known and serve as reference values. A scale 19 with a measuring scale and/or a predefined length l ₁₉ can also be used as a reference element.

Alternatively or additionally, a code 18 can be imaged in the recorded reference pattern 15, which is arranged temporarily or permanently in the visible area of the door or window system 1. The coding 15 can be in the form of a so-called QR code, for example.

Furthermore, information about the configuration of the door or window system 1 can also be derived from the recorded reference pattern 15, for example about the type and number of installed sensor devices 8 and/or other assemblies of the drive device 3. Nameplates in the reference pattern 15 can also be read out and their information content evaluated will.

Based on the information ascertained from the reference pattern 15, specific services can be activated and called up as required. For example, current documentation can be retrieved from the manufacturer via remote data transmission. If software is implemented in certain assemblies of the drive device 3, it can be checked to ensure that it is up-to-date and updated if necessary.
