Description

La présente invention a trait à un dispositif pour la détection d'un obstacle empêchant le bon fonctionnement d'une porte de manutention à tablier souple.The present invention relates to a device for the detection of a obstacle preventing the proper functioning of a material handling door flexible apron.

On connaít des dispositifs de détection qui sont conçus pour actionner le relevage de la porte quand celle-ci rencontre un obstacle lors de sa descente. Les dispositifs sont logés sous la barre de seuil qui est réalisée en métal. Les dispositifs sont constitués d'un système de palpeur de pression appliqué en continu sur toute la largeur de la barre de seuil.There are known detection devices which are designed to actuate lifting the door when it encounters an obstacle during its descent. The devices are housed under the threshold bar which is made of metal. The devices consist of a probe system pressure applied continuously across the width of the bar threshold.

On connaít d'autres dispositifs de détection qui sont constitués d'une enveloppe allongée souple ayant une semelle de fixation solidaire du bord libre le plus large du rideau souple. L'enveloppe allongée comporte un canal sur toute sa longueur qui contient à ses extrémités opposées un émetteur et un récepteur pour un rayon qui suit parallèlement le bord libre du rideau souple. Dès que L'enveloppe subit une légère déformation, le rayon est interrompu, déclenchant L'arrêt du mouvement de La porte.We know other detection devices which consist of a flexible elongated envelope having a fixing sole integral with the widest free edge of the flexible curtain. The elongated envelope has a channel over its entire length which contains at its opposite ends a transmitter and receiver for a ray which runs parallel to the edge free from the flexible curtain. As soon as the envelope undergoes a slight deformation, the beam is interrupted, triggering the stopping of the movement of La door.

Ces dispositifs de détection ont pour inconvénient d'avoir un coût de fabrication élevé ; de plus, ils ne permettent pas de détecter un obstacle appliqué contre le rideau ou le tablier souple lors de sa descente, par exemple une masse venant faire pression sur le rideau ou un chariot déportant latéralement la barre de seuil.These detection devices have the disadvantage of having a cost of high manufacturing; moreover, they do not make it possible to detect a obstacle applied against the curtain or flexible apron when descent, for example a mass coming to put pressure on the curtain or a carriage laterally deporting the threshold bar.

Dans ces situations, l'obstacle ne peut pas être détecté par les dispositifs de détection tels que le palpeur de pression situé sur la barre de seuil.In these situations, the obstacle cannot be detected by the detection devices such as the pressure sensor located on the threshold bar.

Enfin, ces dispositifs de détection placés dans les barres de seuil sont d'un poids important et relativement rigides, donc inadéquats dans L'utilisation des portes de manutention.Finally, these detection devices placed in the threshold bars are of significant weight and relatively rigid, therefore inadequate in The use of handling doors.

On connaít par le brevet CH-A-548 523 un dispositif de détection d'un obstacle dans lequel deux interrupteurs sont disposés respectivement au-dessus et au-dessous de l'arbre d'enroulement d'un volet roulant. Chaque interrupteur est associé à un doigt de manoeuvre et à un ressort, d'où une complexité du dispositif. En outre, ce dispositif n'est apte à réagir à la formation d'une boucle qu'en regard des doigts de manoeuvre d'un interrupteur, c'est-à-dire au-dessus ou au-dessous de l'arbre d'enroulement. En effet, les doigts sont sensibles sur une faible plage angulaire par rapport à l'axe d'enroulement du volet. Si une boucle ou un brin mou se forme dans une zone éloignée des doigts, le dispositif ne réagit que lorsque la boucle s'est développée de telle façon qu'elle atteint un des doigts, ceci pouvant se produire bien après la formation de la boucle. La fonction de sécurité recherchée avec de dispositif n'est donc pas pleinement atteinte.Patent CH-A-548,523 discloses a device for detecting a obstacle in which two switches are arranged respectively above and below the winding shaft of a roller shutter. Each switch is associated with an operating finger and a spring, hence a complexity of the device. In addition, this device is not suitable for react to the formation of a loop only opposite the operating fingers a switch, i.e. above or below the shaft winding. Indeed, the fingers are sensitive over a small range angular with respect to the winding axis of the shutter. If a loop or a soft strand forms in an area away from the fingers, the device does not reacts only when the loop has grown in such a way that it reaches one of the fingers, this can happen well after training of the loop. The security function sought with the device is therefore not fully achieved.

C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend plus particulièrement remédier la présente invention.It is to these drawbacks that the present invention.

Dans cet esprit, l'invention concerne un dispositif pour la détection d'un obstacle empêchant le bon fonctionnement du tablier souple d'une porte de manutention, comprenant des moyens de détection disposés à proximité de l'arbre horizontal autour duquel s'enroule le tablier souple, lesdits moyens de détection étant reliés à un interrupteur de position commandant la rotation de l'arbre horizontal, caractérisé en ce que les moyens de détection consistent en au moins une sangle qui présente un profil sensiblement courbe et disposée perpendiculairement à l'arbre horizontal, ladite sangle étant reliée d'une part à l'interrupteur de position et d'autre part à une lame fixe ou à une face d'un capot solidaire de montants latéraux.In this spirit, the invention relates to a device for detecting an obstacle preventing the smooth operation of the flexible deck of a handling door, comprising detection means arranged at proximity to the horizontal tree around which the apron winds flexible, said detection means being connected to a position controlling the rotation of the horizontal shaft, characterized in that the detection means consist of at least one strap which has a substantially curved profile and arranged perpendicular to the horizontal shaft, said strap being connected on the one hand to the position switch and on the other hand to a fixed blade or to one face of a cover secured to side uprights.

Grâce à l'invention, le dispositif peut réagir efficacement à un obstacle sur le trajet du volet roulant par la détection de la formation d'une boucle sur une large plage angulaire par rapport à l'axe de l'arbre d'enroulement de la porte. L'utilisation d'une sangle garantit que la formation d'une boucle ne déforme par le levier articulé de l'interrupteur, car la sangle absorbe les variations de volume du tablier.Thanks to the invention, the device can react effectively to a obstacle on the path of the roller shutter by the detection of the formation of a loop over a wide angular range with respect to the axis of the door winding shaft. The use of a strap guarantees that the formation of a loop does not deform by the articulated lever of the switch because the strap absorbs variations in the volume of the apron.

Selon un aspect avantageux de l'invention, la lame fixe et l'interrupteur de positionnement sont fixés perpendiculairement l'un à l'autre à l'intérieur d'un capot. Ainsi, la sangle s'étend sur un angle supérieur à 90°, ce qui rend le dispositif efficace sur une plage angulaire.According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, the fixed blade and the switch of positioning are fixed perpendicular to each other to inside a hood. So the strap extends over a higher angle at 90 °, which makes the device effective over an angular range.

Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, la sangle présente un profil sensiblement courbe. Grâce à cet aspect de l'invention, la sangle est conformée pour recevoir une boucle formée par le tablier du volet lorsqu'il est détendu.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, the strap has a substantially curved profile. Thanks to this aspect of the invention, the strap is shaped to receive a loop formed by the shutter deck when relaxed.

Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, l'interrupteur de position comporte un levier qui bascule sous l'effet de la tension de la sangle. Ainsi, le levier qui commande l'interrupteur n'est pas au contact d'un brin mou formé par le tablier et ne risqu pas d'être déformé par un effort dû à un tel brin mou.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, the switch position has a lever that swings under the effect of the tension of the strap. Thus, the lever which controls the switch is not at contact of a soft strand formed by the apron and not likely to be deformed by an effort due to such a soft strand.

  • The appended drawing, given by way of example, will allow a better understanding of the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is capable of providing:
  • Fig. 1 is a partial view illustrating a handling door provided with a detection device according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a side view showing the detection device in the rest position.
  • Fig. 3 is a view similar to that of FIG. 2, but showing the detection device in the actuated position.
  • Fig. 4 is a view similar to that of FIG. 2, but showing a variant implementation of the detection device according to the invention.
  • On a représenté en fig. 1 à 4 une porte de manutention 1 comportant un rideau ou tablier souple 1a enroulable autour d'un arbre horizontal 1b qui est entraíné en rotation par l'intermédiaire d'un moto-réducteur non représenté.There is shown in fig. 1 to 4 a handling door 1 comprising a flexible curtain or apron 1 a windable around a horizontal shaft 1 b which is rotated by means of a not shown gear motor.

    La porte de manutention 1 est constituée de montants latéraux 1c comprenant une glissière verticale 1d dans laquelle coulisse le tablier souple 1a. Ce dernier comporte à son extrémité inférieure une barre de seuil 1e connue en soi.The handling door 1 is made up of lateral uprights 1 c comprising a vertical slide 1 d in which the flexible apron 1 a slides. The latter comprises at its lower end a threshold bar 1 e known per se.

    La porte de manutention 1 comporte dans sa partie supérieure un capot 1f solidaire des montants 1c et qui peut être prévu sur toute la largeur de l'arbre 1b.The handling door 1 has in its upper part a cover 1 f integral with the uprights 1 c and which can be provided over the entire width of the shaft 1 b .

    Dans la partie interne du capot 1f et au-dessus de chaque montant 1c est prévue une lame fixe 1g dirigée en direction de l'arbre horizontal 1b. La lame fixe 1g est disposée en dessous de l'arbre 1b et à proximité de celui-ci. Le capot 1f comporte sur l'une de ses faces internes et plus particulièrement sur celles se trouvant perpendiculaires à la lame fixe 1g un interrupteur de position 1h qui est relié électriquement au moto-réducteur entraínant en rotation l'arbre horizontal 1b . L'interrupteur de position 1h comporte un levier articulé 1i qui est solidaire d'une sangle souple 1i dont l'extrémité opposée est fixée sur le bout extrême de la lame 1g, c'est-à-dire au-dessous de l'arbre horizontal.In the internal part of the cover 1 f and above each upright 1 c is provided a fixed blade 1 g directed in the direction of the horizontal shaft 1 b . The fixed blade 1 g is arranged below the shaft 1 b and close to it. The cover 1 f comprises on one of its internal faces and more particularly on those located perpendicular to the fixed blade 1 g a position switch 1 h which is electrically connected to the gear motor driving in rotation the horizontal shaft 1 b . The position switch 1 h comprises an articulated lever 1 i which is secured to a flexible strap 1 i , the opposite end of which is fixed to the extreme end of the blade 1 g , that is to say below of the horizontal tree.

    On observe que la sangle 1j affecte un profil légèrement courbe passant en dessous et à proximité de l'arbre horizontal 1b. Bien évidemment, une autre sangle 1j peut être montée à l'autre extrémité de L'arbre 1b de La porte de manutention 1.It is observed that the strap 1 j affects a slightly curved profile passing below and near the horizontal shaft 1 b . Obviously, another strap 1 j can be mounted at the other end of the shaft 1 b of the handling door 1.

    En fig. 4, on a représenté une variante d'un dispositif de détection suivant la présente invention qui consiste en ce que l'interrupteur de positionnement 1h recevant l'une des extrémités de la sangle souple 1i est fixé sur la face inférieure 1k du capot 1f. In fig. 4, a variant of a detection device according to the present invention has been shown, which consists in that the positioning switch 1 h receiving one of the ends of the flexible strap 1 i is fixed on the lower face 1 k of the cover 1 f.

    L'autre extrémité de la sangle souple 1i est directement assujettie à La face supérieure 1l du capot 1f de manière que ladite sangle soit perpendiculaire et à proximité de l'arbre horizontal 1b de la porte de manutention 1.The other end of the flexible strap 1 i is directly secured to the upper side 1 l f of the cover 1 so that said strap is perpendicular and adjacent to the horizontal shaft 1b of the handling door 1.

    On comprend aisément d'après La description précédente le fonctionnement du dispositif de détection.It is easy to understand from the preceding description the operation of the detection device.

    En effet, lorsque le tablier souple 1a rencontre un obstacle soit sous la barre de seuil 1e, soit latéralement comme représenté par les flèches F1 et F2 en fig. 3, on remarque que le déroulement de l'arbre 1b forme un brin mou 1'a qui vient en appui contre la sangle 1j du dispositif de sécurité. Le déplacement de la sangle de sécurité 1j provoque le basculement du levier 1i actionnant l'interrupteur de positionnement 1h. La sangle 1j est apte à recevoir le brin mou 1'a, tel que représenté à la fig. 3, sur un large secteur angulaire et donc à actionner L'interrupteur 1h par l'intermédiaire du levier 1i In fact, when the flexible deck 1 a encounters an obstacle either under the threshold bar 1 e , or laterally as represented by the arrows F1 and F2 in FIG. 3, it can be seen that the unwinding of the shaft 1b forms a soft strand 1 ' a which bears against the strap 1j of the safety device. The movement of the safety strap 1 j causes the lever 1 i to tilt, actuating the positioning switch 1 h . The strap 1 j is capable of receiving the soft strand 1 ′ a , as shown in FIG. 3, over a wide angular sector and therefore to activate the switch 1 h via the lever 1 i

    L'interrupteur de position 1h commande le moto-réducteur pour que celui-ci entraíne immédiatement en sens inverse L'arbre 1b pour remonter le tablier souple 1a. Lors de la remontée du tablier souple 1a, on constate que le brin mou 1'a disparaít et permet à la sangle 1j de revenir dans sa position initiale. Le retour à la position initiale de la sangle 1j libère Le levier 1i qui est chargé élastiquement pour revenir dans sa position première. Le moto-réducteur change à nouveau de sens de rotation pour que le tablier 1a puisse redescendre sans rencontrer d'obstacle.The position switch 1 h controls the geared motor so that it immediately drives in opposite direction. The shaft 1 b for reassembling the flexible deck 1 a . During the ascent of the flexible apron 1a, it is found that the slack side 1 'disappears and allows the strap 1 j to return to its initial position. The return to the initial position of the strap 1 j releases the lever 1 i which is loaded elastically to return to its original position. The gear motor again changes direction of rotation so that the deck 1 a can descend without encountering an obstacle.
