Definitions
- the present invention relates to a safety and emergency actuation device for an accordion door.

- Patent US-A-3,739,832 describes an emergency system for a flexible closing grid of the upper winding type: when the motor lowers the grid in the closed position, it causes the tension of a spring, which, in in case of engine failure, can raise the grid to a certain height allowing passage.
- the present invention relates to a safety and emergency actuation device for an accordion door making it possible, as the case may be, to prevent the curtain from falling completely or to cause it to rise partially and quickly.
- the subject of the present invention is a safety and emergency actuation device for an accordion door, in particular of the type of those which include in particular a flexible curtain guided by two uprights, horizontal reinforcing bars arranged at regular intervals, lifting straps fixed to the lower bar and capable of passing through guides fixed to certain other bars, a blood winding shaft overhanging the assembly driven by an electric motor and blocked by braking means when said motor does not is not in operation, characterized in that it comprises at least one mass counterweight making it possible to partially raise the curtain to a height allowing passage.
- the counterweight (s) is (are) calculated to cooperate with the electric motor driving the winding shaft of the straps during the opening and closing of the accordion door .
- the lifting provided by the counterweight (s) is controlled, depending on whether the braking means of the strap winding shaft are constituted by the brake of a brake motor or by a latching device located on the lower bar, by manual means for releasing said brake or for disengaging said latch.
- the counterweight (s) circulate (s) freely in a casing attached to one of the door jambs, either in the plane of the door, or projecting towards the inside or out.
- FIG. 1 an accordion door of the type which includes a flexible curtain which is recognized in particular the flexible curtain 1, the horizontal reinforcing bars 2, the lifting straps 3 fixed to the lower bar and passing in guides 4 fixed on certain bars, the uprights 5 U-shaped in which the ends of certain bars slide, the beam 6 forming a lintel and on which the brake motor 7 which is subjected drives the shaft 8 for winding the angles and the bearings 9 which support said tree.
- the rotational force exerted by the counterweight 12 on the shaft 8 via the drum 10 depends both on the mass of the counterweight 12 and on the diameter of the drum 10. This force is calculated so that, under its sole action, the motor 7 not operating and the braking means being released, the door opens on a determined fraction of its height.
- the counterweight 12 then occupies an intermediate position between the high position it occupies when the door is fully closed ( Figure 1a) and the low position it occupies when the door is fully open ( Figure 1b).
- This force being calculated, the mass of the counterweight 12 and the diameter of the drum 10 are determined, taking account in particular of their size of the stroke of the counterweight between its high position and its low position, mechanical stresses exerted on the tree etc.
- it may be necessary to envisage a device comprising 2 counterweights placed respectively at each end of the winding shaft 8 of the angles and allowing a balanced distribution of the forces.
- the rotational force exerted on the shaft 8 by the counterweight occurs in three circumstances: when the winding shaft of the straps becomes detached from the brake motor, the door being open or being opened; when the brake motor is out of service, the door being closed; during ordinary operation of the brake motor.
- the curtain ballasted with rebar, has tendency to fall due to their own weight. This is where the counterweight plays an essential role for safety, quite specific to this type of door. If, when the tree breaks (or any other equivalent accident), the base of the curtain has reached a height greater than the fraction of total door opening height defined above - corresponding to the balancing of part of the weight of the curtain by the counterweight - the curtain then lowers with decreasing speed until it reaches this predetermined height. If, on the contrary, the curtain has not reached this height, it rises with decreasing speed until it reaches it.
- the counterweight prevents the curtain from falling completely and eliminates the risk of accident that could result, especially for people.
- the brake motor 13 and the brake 14 of the brake motor are supplied at the same time.
- the switch 15 When the switch 15 is closed (FIG. 2 a), the motor 13 operates and the brake 14, which may notably include an electromagnet 16 and a compression spring 17, is released, the force generated by the electromagnet 16 being higher and opposite to that of the compression spring 17.
- the switch 15 When the switch 15 is open (FIG. 2 b) the motor 13 does not work and the brake 14 blocks the shaft by the effect of the force of the compression spring 17.
- the situation of the brake motor is identical to the previous one.
- the compression spring of the brake is compressed by means of a manual control 21 .
- the motor 13 does not work and the electromagnet 16 under tension generates a force greater and opposite to that of the return spring 18 which applies the brake.
- the brake is released and the door would automatically raise if blocking means were not provided.
- this operating mode of the brake motor there is therefore, for example, a latch on the lower bar of the door which engages in a corresponding fixed device when said bar is at ground level.
- the rotational force generated by the counterweight 12 and the drum 10 does not act only in the particular situations mentioned above, that is to say when the winding shaft of the straps disconnects from the brake motor or that the brake motor is out of service, but also cooperates with the motor in normal operation.
- the counterweight assists in lifting the curtain and the motor only works as soon as the weight of the raised part of the curtain balances the counterweight.
- the motor only works from the moment when the counterweight balances the weight of the lowered curtain part, it must hoist said counterweight to its high position.
- the use of a counterweight of the type which has been described above therefore makes it possible to use a motor less powerful than that which has been used in installations which do not have one.
- Another U-shaped door jamb 5 consisting of a U-shaped metal profile whose parallel parts serve as a guide for the flexible curtain 1, another U-shaped profile 23 is added, possibly by welding, which will have been dimensioned so as to delimit a rectangular parallelepiped in which the counterweight 12 can circulate freely.
- the counterweight casing is a parallelepiped, three faces of which are formed by the U-shaped profile 23 and the fourth by the part of the upright 5 which is perpendicular to the plane of the door. This casing is therefore located in the extension of the door which it widens accordingly.
- the counterweight casing is a parallelepiped, three faces of which are formed by the U-shaped section 23 and the fourth by one of the parallel parts of the upright 5. This casing is therefore not in the plane of the door, but protrudes inward or outward.
- a pulley 22 is provided fixed at the plumb of the casing to ensure the return of the belt 11.

Description
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de sécurité et d'actionnement de secours pour porte accordéon.The present invention relates to a safety and emergency actuation device for an accordion door.
On sait actuellement fabriquer des portes accordéon de grande dimension destinées notamment aux locaux industriels. Un exemple d'une telle porte est décrit entre autre dans le brevet FR-A-2 410 117. De telles portes comportent en substance, selon qu'il s'agit de portes à panneaux horizontaux articulés ou à rideau souple rigidifié à intervalles réguliers par des barres d'armature horizontales, des sangles de levage fixées à la base du panneau inférieur ou à la barre inférieure et passant de préférence dans des guides fixés sur l'articulation de certains panneaux ou sur certaines des autres barres et un arbre d'enroulement des sangles surplombant l'ensemble, entraîné par un moteur électrique et bloqué par des moyens de freinage lorsque ledit moteur n'est pas en fonctionnement.We currently know how to manufacture large accordion doors intended in particular for industrial premises. An example of such a door is described inter alia in patent FR-A-2,410,117. Such doors essentially comprise, depending on whether they are doors with hinged horizontal panels or with flexible curtain stiffened at regular intervals by horizontal reinforcing bars, lifting straps fixed to the base of the lower panel or to the lower bar and preferably passing in guides fixed on the articulation of certain panels or on some of the other bars and a shaft winding of the straps overhanging the assembly, driven by an electric motor and blocked by braking means when said motor is not in operation.
Dans les installations existant actuellement, lorsque, la porte étant fermée, le moteur est hors service à la suite d'une panne ou d'une coupure de courant, on ne peut lever la porte, après avoir desserré les moyens de freinage, qu'au moyen d'un dispositif de secours commandé manuellement comportant une manivelle, une tringle et un renvoi d'angle et agissant sur l'arbre d'enroulement des sangles de levage. Etant donné le poids souvent élevé des portes de grande dimension, un tel dispositif de secours présente une démultiplication importante et, par conséquent, implique une mise en oeuvre lente. Dans les situations qui exigent une ouverture rapide de la porte, évacuation, nécessité d'une intervention urgente à l'intérieur du bâtiment, etc., ce type de dispositif de secours est insuffisant. D'autre part, toujours dans les installations en service actuellement, lorsque la porte étant ouverte ou en train de s'ouvrir, l'arbre de relevage des sangles se désolidarise du moteur et des moyens de freinage à la suite d'une rupture ou de toute autre cause, le rideau tombe d'un seul coup entraîné par son propre poids, ce qui représente un danger certain.In presently existing installations, when, the door being closed, the motor is out of service following a breakdown or a power failure, the door can only be lifted after having released the braking means by means of a manually controlled emergency device comprising a crank, a rod and a bevel gear and acting on the winding shaft of the lifting straps. Given the often high weight of large doors, such an emergency device has a significant reduction and, therefore, involves a slow implementation. In situations which require rapid opening of the door, evacuation, need for urgent intervention inside the building, etc., this type of emergency device is insufficient. On the other hand, still in installations currently in service, when the door is open or in the process of being opened, the strap lifting shaft becomes detached from the motor and the braking means following a rupture or from any other cause, the curtain falls suddenly with its own weight, which represents a certain danger.
Le brevet US-A-3 739 832 décrit un système de secours pour une grille flexible de fermeture du type à enroulement supérieur: lorsque le moteur fait descendre la grille en position de fermeture, il provoque la tension d'un ressort, lequel, en cas de panne du moteur, peut assurer le relevage de la grille jusqu'à une certaine hauteur permettant le passage.Patent US-A-3,739,832 describes an emergency system for a flexible closing grid of the upper winding type: when the motor lowers the grid in the closed position, it causes the tension of a spring, which, in in case of engine failure, can raise the grid to a certain height allowing passage.
On rappellera que l'emploi de contre-poids pour des volets a panneaux, coulissants télésco- piques est également connu, par exemple par les brevets US-A-2 339 569 et 1 662 709. Dans de tels dispositifs, le contre-poids ne permet pas de relever les éléments du volet, car la commande est généralement faite par vis tangente, bloquant le volet à toute position d'arrêt.It will be recalled that the use of counterweights for shutters with telescopic sliding panels is also known, for example from patents US-A-2 339 569 and 1 662 709. In such devices, the counterweight does not make it possible to raise the components of the shutter, because the control is generally made by tangent screw, blocking the shutter in any stopped position.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité et d'actionnement de secours pour porte accordéon permettant, selon le cas, d'empêcher la chute totale du rideau ou d'en provoquer la remontée partielle et rapide.The present invention relates to a safety and emergency actuation device for an accordion door making it possible, as the case may be, to prevent the curtain from falling completely or to cause it to rise partially and quickly.
Par conséquent, la présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de sécurité et d'actionnement de secours pour porte accordéon en particulier du type de celles qui comportent notamment un rideau souple guidé par deux montants, des barres d'armature horizontales disposées à intervalles réguliers, des sangles de levage fixées à la barre inférieure et pouvant passer dans des guides fixés sur certaines autres barres, un arbre d'enroulement des sang les surplombant l'ensemble entraîné par un moteur électrique et bloqué par des moyens de freinage lorsque ledit moteur n'est pas en fonctionnement, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins un contre-poids de masse permettant de relever partiellement le rideau à une hauteur permettant le passage.Consequently, the subject of the present invention is a safety and emergency actuation device for an accordion door, in particular of the type of those which include in particular a flexible curtain guided by two uprights, horizontal reinforcing bars arranged at regular intervals, lifting straps fixed to the lower bar and capable of passing through guides fixed to certain other bars, a blood winding shaft overhanging the assembly driven by an electric motor and blocked by braking means when said motor does not is not in operation, characterized in that it comprises at least one mass counterweight making it possible to partially raise the curtain to a height allowing passage.
Selon une caractéristique de la présente invention, le ou les contre-poids est (sont) calculé(s) pour coopérer avec le moteur électrique entraînant l'arbre d'enroulement des sangles lors de l'ouverture et de la fermeture de la porte accordéon.According to a characteristic of the present invention, the counterweight (s) is (are) calculated to cooperate with the electric motor driving the winding shaft of the straps during the opening and closing of the accordion door .
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le levage assuré par le ou les contre-poids est commandé, selon que les moyens de freinage de l'arbre d'enroulement des sangles sont constitués par le frein d'un moteur-frein ou par une clenche d'accrochage située sur la barre inférieure, par des moyens manuels de desserrage dudit frein ou de désengagement de ladite clenche.According to another characteristic of the invention, the lifting provided by the counterweight (s) is controlled, depending on whether the braking means of the strap winding shaft are constituted by the brake of a brake motor or by a latching device located on the lower bar, by manual means for releasing said brake or for disengaging said latch.
Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le (ou les) contre-poids circule(nt) librement dans un carter accolé à l'un des montants de la porte, soit dans le plan de la porte, soit en saillie vers l'intérieur ou vers l'extérieur.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the counterweight (s) circulate (s) freely in a casing attached to one of the door jambs, either in the plane of the door, or projecting towards the inside or out.

Sur la figure 1 est représentée une porte accordéon du type de celles qui comportent un rideau souple dont on reconnaît notamment le rideau souple 1, les barres d'armatures horizontales 2, les sangles de levage 3 fixées à la barre inférieure et passant dans des guides 4 fixés sur certaines barres, les montants 5 profilés en U dans lesquels coulissent les extrémités de certaines barres, la poutre 6 formant linteau et sur laquelle sont assujettis le moteur-frein 7 qui entraîne l'arbre 8 d'enroulement des angles et les paliers 9 qui supportent ledit arbre.In Figure 1 is shown an accordion door of the type which includes a flexible curtain which is recognized in particular the flexible curtain 1, the
Salon la présente invention, on dispose à une extrémité de l'arbre 8 un tambour 10 sur lequel vient s'enrouler un câble 11, ou tout autre moyen de suspension (courroie, corde, chaîne....) dont l'extrémité est attachée à un contre-poids 12 de façon que ledit contre-poids soit en position haute lorsque la porte est fermée (figure 1 a) et en position basse lorsque la porte est ouverte (figure 1 b). La force de rotation exercée par le contre-poids 12 sur l'arbre 8 par l'intermédiaire du tambour 10 dépend à la fois de la masse du contre-poids 12 et du diamètre du tambour 10. Cette force est calculée de façon que, sous sa seule action, le moteur 7 ne fonctionnant pas et les moyens de freinage étant deserrés, la porte s'ouvre sur une fraction déterminée de sa hauteur. Le contre-poids 12 occupe alors une position intermédiaire entre la position haute qu'il occupe lorsque la porte est totalement fermée (figure 1 a) et la position basse qu'il occupe lorsque la porte est totalement ouverte (figure 1 b). Cette force étant calculée, on détermine la masse du contre-poids 12 et le diamètre du tambour 10 en tenant compte notamment de leur encombremant de la course du contre-poids entre sa position haute et sa position basse, des contraintes mécaniques exercées sur l'arbre etc. Pour satisfaire à ces divers impératifs, on peut être amené à envisager un dispositif comportant 2 contre-poids placés respectivement à chacune des extrémités de l'arbre d'enroulement 8 des angles et permettant une répartition des efforts équilibrée.In the present invention, there is at one end of the shaft 8 a
La force de rotation exercée sur l'arbre 8 par le contre-poids intervient dans trois circonstances: lorsque l'arbre d'enroulement des sangles se désolidarise du moteur-frein, la porte étant ouverte ou en train de s'ouvrir; lorsque le moteur-frein est hors service, la porte étant fermée; lors du fonctionnement ordinaire du moteur-frein.The rotational force exerted on the
Lorsque l'arbre d'enroulement des sangles se désolidarise du moteur-frein accidentellement - ce qui se produit généralement au moment où l'on inverse le sens de rotation de l'arbre - le rideau, lesté par les barres d'armature, a tendance à se baisser sous l'effet de sont propre poids. C'est là que le contre-poids joue un rôle essentiel pour la sécurité, tout a fait spécifique a ce type de porte. Si, quand survient la rupture de l'arbre (ou tout autre accident équivalent), la base du rideau a atteint une hauteur supérieure à la fraction de hauteur d'ouverture totale de la porte définie plus haut - correspondant à l'équilibrage d'une partie du poids du rideau par le contre-poids - le rideau se baisse alors avec une vitesse décroissante jusqu'à atteindre cette hauteur prédéterminée. Si, au contraire, le rideau n'a pas atteint cette hauteur, il se lève avec une vitesse décroissante jusqu'à l'atteindre.When the winding shaft of the straps accidentally disengages from the brake motor - which generally occurs when the direction of rotation of the shaft is reversed - the curtain, ballasted with rebar, has tendency to fall due to their own weight. This is where the counterweight plays an essential role for safety, quite specific to this type of door. If, when the tree breaks (or any other equivalent accident), the base of the curtain has reached a height greater than the fraction of total door opening height defined above - corresponding to the balancing of part of the weight of the curtain by the counterweight - the curtain then lowers with decreasing speed until it reaches this predetermined height. If, on the contrary, the curtain has not reached this height, it rises with decreasing speed until it reaches it.
Dans ce cas comme dans l'autre, le contre-poids empêche la chute totale du rideau et supprime les risques d'accident qui pourraient en résulter, notamment pour les personnes.In this case as in the other, the counterweight prevents the curtain from falling completely and eliminates the risk of accident that could result, especially for people.
Lorsque la porte est fermée et que le moteur est hors service, que ce soit pour cause de panne ou de coupure d'électricité, pour l'ouvrir sur la fraction de sa hauteur correspondant à ladite force, il faut débloquer l'arbre d'enroulement des sangles, lequel est prévu pour être immobilisé en permanence hors des périodes de fonctionnement du moteur. Ce débloquage manuel peut se faire de diverses manières, selon la nature des moyens de freinage employés pour bloquer l'arbre.When the door is closed and the motor is out of service, whether due to a breakdown or power cut, to open it on the fraction of its height corresponding to said force, the shaft must be unlocked. winding of the straps, which is intended to be permanently immobilized outside the periods of engine operation. This manual release can be done in various ways, depending on the nature of the braking means used to block the shaft.
Dans l'exemple de realisation de débloquage de l'arbre 8 présenté sur la figure 2, le moteur-frein 13 et le frein 14 du moteur-frein sont alimentés en même temps. Lorsque l'interrupteur 15 est fermé (figure 2 a), le moteur 13 fonctionne et le frein 14, qui peut comporter notamment un électro-aimant 16 et un ressort de compression 17, est desserré, la force engendrée par l'électro-aimant 16 étant supérieure et opposée à celle du ressort de compression 17. Lorsque l'interrupteur 15 est ouvert (figure 2 b) le moteur 13 ne fonctionne pas et le frein 14 bloque l'arbre par l'effet de la force du ressort de compression 17. En cas de panne du moteur ou de coupure de courant, qui peut être volontaire lors d'un incendie par exemple, la situation du moteur-frein est identique à la précadente. Pour bloquer l'arbre, c'est-à-dire pour commander l'ouverture de la porte qui se fera sous l'effet du contre-poids 12, on comprime le ressort de compression du frein au moyen d'un commande manuelle 21.In the example of the unlocking of the
Dans un autre exemple de réalisation de la commande de débloquage de l'arbre 8, on agit non plus sur le frein du moteur-frein mais sur une clenche d'accrochage de la barre inférieure. Ce type de commande est lié à un mode de fonctionnement du moteur-frein différent de celui décrit précédemment. Dans cette autre disposition représentée sur la figure 3, quand le moteur 13 est alimenté, le frein 14, qui peut comporter un électro-aimant 16 et un ressort de rappel 18, ne l'est pas (figure 3 a), et inversement (figure 3 b). Lorsque l'interrupteur 19 est fermé et l'interrupteur 20 ouvert (figure 3 a), le moteur 13 fonctionne et le resort de rappel 18 maintient le frein desserré. Lorsque l'interrupteur 19 est ouvert et l'interrupteur 20 fermé (figure 3 b), le moteur 13 ne fonctionne pas et l'électro-aimant 16 sous tension engendre une force supérieure et opposée à celle du ressort de rappel 18 laquelle serre le frein. En cas de coupure de courant, le frein est desserré et la porte se relèverait automatiquement si des moyens de bloquage n'étaient prévus. Avec ce mode de fonctionnement du moteur-frein, on dispose donc, par exemple, une clenche sur la barre inférieure de la porte qui s'enclenche dans un dispositif fixe correspondant lorsque ladite barre est au niveau du sol. Ainsi, en cas de coupure de courant, pour commander l'ouverture de la porte, qui se fera sous l'action du contre-poids 12, on désengage la clenche manuellement ou avec le pied.In another exemplary embodiment of the unlocking control of the
Selon la présente invention, la force de rotation engendrée par le contre-poids 12 et le tambour 10 n'agit pas seulement dans les situations particulières évoquées plus haut, c'est-à-dire lorsque l'arbre d'enroulement des sangles se désolidarise du moteur-frein ou que le moteur-frein est hors de service, mais coopère également avec le moteur en fonctionnement normal. A l'ouverture de la porte le contre-poids aide au levage du rideau et le moteur ne travaille qu'à partir du moment où le poids de la partie de rideau relevé équilibre le contre-poids. A la fermeture de la porte, le moteur ne travaille qu'à partir du moment où, le contre-poids équilibrent le poids de la partie de rideau abaissée, il doit hisser ledit contre-poids jusqu'à sa position haute. L'utilisation d'un contre-poids du type de celui qui a été décrit plus haut permet donc d'utiliser un moteur moins puissant que celui qui été employé dans les installations qui n'en comportent pas.According to the present invention, the rotational force generated by the
Que ce soit lors du fonctionnement normal de la porte accordéon, que ce soit lors de circonstances accidentelles, le (ou les) contre-poids joue(nt) une rôle important, voire essentiel. Il importe donc que sa (leur) course ne puisse être entravée en aucun cas. Pour satisfaire à cet impératif, on prévoit, selon l'invention, de placer le contre-poids dans un carter disposé contre l'un des montants de le porte. Ce carter sera réalisé dans un matériau résistant, métal ou plastique, il aura une section circulaire ou polygonale et sera d'un hauteur sensiblement égale à la longueur de le course du contre-poids. Avantageusement, il ne fera qu'une seule pièce avec le montant de la porte. Sur les figures 4 et 5, on a représenté deux types de montant construit sur ce principe. A un montant de porte 5 simple, constitué par un profile métallique en forme de U dont les parties parallèles servent de guide au rideau souple 1, on adjoint, par soudage éventuellement, un autre profilé en U 23 qu'on aura dimensionné de façon à délimiter un parallélépipède de rectangle dans lequel le contre-poids 12 puisse circuler librement. Dans le cas de la figure 4, le carter du contre-poids est un parallélépipède dont trois faces sont constituées par le profilé en U 23 et le quatrième par la partie du montant 5 qui est perpendiculaire au plan de la porte. Ce carter est donc situé dans le prolongement de la porte qu'il élargit d'autant.Whether during normal operation of the accordion door, or during accidental circumstances, the counterweight (s) play (s) an important, even essential, role. It is therefore important that his (their) race cannot be hindered under any circumstances. To meet this requirement, provision is made, according to the invention, to place the counterweight in a casing disposed against one of the uprights of the door. This housing will be made of a resistant material, metal or plastic, it will have a circular or polygonal section and will be of a height substantially equal to the length of the stroke of the counterweight. Advantageously, it will only be one piece with the door jamb. In Figures 4 and 5, there are shown two types of amount built on this principle. Another
Dans le cas de la figure 5, le carter du contre-poids est un parallélépipède dont trois faces sont constituées par le profilé en U 23 et la quatrième par l'une des parties parallèles du montant 5. Ce carter n'est donc pas dans le plan de le porte, mais fait saillie vers l'intérieur ou vers l'extérieur. Comme dans cette disposition le contre-poids 12 ne se trouve plus à l'aplomb du tambour 10, on prévoit une poulie 22 fixée à l'aplomb du carter pour assurer le renvoi de la courroie 11.In the case of FIG. 5, the counterweight casing is a parallelepiped, three faces of which are formed by the
