Definitions
- the present invention comprises improvements relating to ventilators and concerns controllable ventilators which are required to open to exhaust heat, smoke and fumes from a building in the event of a fire and to close to conserve heat in the building under normal coditions.
- DE-A-2264267 discloses a fire ventilator which opens in the event of a fire and is provided with a prop which supports a ventilation flap in its open position.
- a controllable opening flap ventilator for the day-to-day ventilation of buildings having a frame defining a ventilation opening, a hinged ventilation flap for closing the opening, and springs for opening the ventilation flap characterized by a fire prop normally secured by a fusible joint and pivotally mounted on the flap to swing round to engage an abutment on the frame to prop the flap open in the event of a fire which melts the fusible joint and which might otherwise cause failure of the springs.
- the ventilator may be opened by its springs in the event of a fire, and this may be done automatically in response to the onset of a fire condition using a suitable fire and/or smoke detector.
- the fused fire prop then acts as an additional safety measure to prevent reclosing of the flap.
- the ventilator has a hollow frame 10 and a single, bottom hung, outwardly hingeing ventilator flap 11 to provide for day-to-day and for fire ventilation hinged to the frame at 12.
- Gas springs 13, one at each side, are provided for opening the flap 11, the flap then assuming its substantially vertical position as shown in Fig. 1.
- An electric motor-gear drive mechanism 14 is installed inside a hollow, top frame member 10 a of the ventilator about midway between the side frame members 10 b of the frame 10.
- the bottom frame member is indicated at 10 c .
- the unit 14 comprises an electric motor 15 and a gear drive mechanism 16 housed in a gear box housing 17 adapted for flange mounting at 18 inside the ventilator top frame member 10 a .
- the unit 14 has an output drive in the form of a winch pulley generally indicated at 20 and disposed laterally to one side of the unit which is generally elongated to fit within the hollow top frame member 10 a .
- the pulley 20 is fixedly carried by an output drive shaft 22 which also carries the final gear 24 of a spur gear set 24, 26, 28 contained within the housing 17.
- the gears 26 and 28 of the spur gear set are mounted on further drive shafts 30, 32.
- the drive shafts 22, 30 run in ball races 34 and 36 carried by the housing 17.
- the drive shaft 32 runs at one end in a ball race 38 carried by the housing 17, the shaft 32 also being rotatably supported concentrically within a hollow drive shaft 40 which runs in a ball race 42 carried by the housing 17.
- the motor shaft 44 fixedly carries a worm 46 which drives a worm wheel 48 fixedly carried by the shaft 40.
- the shafts 32, 40 carry laterally outside the housing 17, on the side opposite the winch pulley 20, the two elements 50 and 52 respectively of an electromagnetic clutch 54.
- the clutch 54 when energised, drivably engages the drive shaft 40 with the drive shaft 32 and operation of the motor 15 in one direction or the other drives the pulley 20 to open or close the ventilator.
- the clutch 54 is incorporated in a separate electrical circuit, controlled by automatic fire response means, which maintains the clutch energised so long as a power supply is available and no fire response is required, so that in the event of a power failure, the ventilator opens automatically and cannot fail to function as a fire ventilator under such conditions.
- the electrical circuit of the clutch 54 includes a smoke or fire detecting device operable to de-energise the clutch to release the ventilation flap for automatic opening by its gas-springs in the event of a fire being detected.
- the clutch may be incorporated in the electrical circuit of the motor so that the clutch remains energised so long as an electrical power supply is available to operate the motor and open the ventilator in response to the operation of a smoke or fire detecting device. With this arrangement the clutch operates simply as a fail safe device.
- the ventilator may be opened by its gas-springs 13, upon de-energisation of the clutch 54, and closed by operation of the motor 15, the clutch 54 then being energised.
- the ventilator may be opened and closed by operation of the motor.
- a fused fire prop 85 (see Fig. 1), pivotally mounted on the frame of the flap 11 swings downwardly to engage an abutment 86 on the frame 10 to prop the flap 11 open in the event of a fire which might otherwise cause the gas-springs 13 to buckle.
- the prop 85 is formed in two sections normally soldered together as at 87. The prop sections may be joined together with a separate fusible joint mechanically fastened to the sections of the prop.
- a spring 88 may be provided to swing the prop downwardly and the flap 11 may carry a stop 90 to arrest the prop in its operative position.
- the electric motor 15 has an operating voltage of 24V DC, an output of 80 watts and a normal operating speed of 3,200 r.p.m.
- the clutch 54 has an operating voltage of 24 volts DC.
- the output torque of the gear drive mechanism 16 is 50 Nm at a speed of approximately 7 r.p.m.
- the worm gear set has a gear ratio of 48 to 1 and the spur gear set a gear ratio of 10 to 1.
- the cable 76 is 2 mm diameter stainless steel wire.
- the electric motor-gear drive units 14 which have been described may be incorporated in other kinds of controllable ventilators used for fire ventilation purposes, the cable 76 being connected to close, and to control the opening of, e.g. a pair of hinged, oppositely opening ventilation flaps in a roof mounted ventilator to close, and to control the opening of, the louvres of a controllable louvred ventilator by spring action.
