Definitions

  • This patent application concerns an improved accident prevention device for stopping motorised rolling shutters.
  • the device in question is designed to automatically stop the shutter if the coupling between the teeth of the worm screw and that of the wheel splined directly on the rolling shutter shaft in the gearmotor should fail for any unexpected, accidental reason or wear of the gears causing said shutter to fall.
  • the device in question is designed to improve similar devices of the type consisting of a single worm screw engaging with two adjacent gear wheels, one being the main wheel and the other the secondary wheel in that the first drives the movement while the second, which rotates with respect to the first, activates the stopping means in the case of an emergency.
  • the rotation between the two wheels is in fact used as a fault signal and simultaneously as a signal to activate the mechanical stopping means of the shutter winding shaft.
  • the main problem encountered on this type of stopping devices is that the secondary wheel remains engaged with the worm screw even after the stopping means have been activated so that although the worm screw continues to be subject to a drive moment, it is also stopped abruptly together with the secondary wheel with which the same engages.
  • the scope of this invention is to perfect said stopping devices so that the secondary wheel is automatically disengaged from the worm screw when the means which stop the secondary wheel and consequently the shutter winding shaft, are activated.
  • the device according to the invention has been designed in this prospective, where the worm screw of the gearmotor engages simultaneously with a pair of adjacent gear wheels which are not however splined to the shutter winding shaft since the drive from the gearmotor to the above shaft occurs by means of a flange fixed on the internal face of the main wheel provided with a hub splined on the shutter winding shaft.
  • the secondary wheel is in fact centred on said hub and can rotate and translate.
  • the secondary wheel is moreover provided with one or more curved slots characterised by a centre groove, in which the enlarged head of the same number of stopping pins projecting from the face of said flange, attaches.
  • the longitudinal axis of these curved slots consists of an arch whose centre coincides with that of the two adjacent wheels.
  • a series of annular springs being provided between the flange and secondary wheel which exercise on the latter an axial thrust that tends to detach the secondary wheel from the main wheel.
  • the secondary wheel is stopped thanks to front teeth on the external face which wedge into teeth on the internal face of the gearmotor casing, against which said secondary wheel is pushed by the above springs.
  • stoppage of the secondary wheel will correspond to stoppage of the flange whose free rotation will be impeded by the enlarged head of the stopping pins engaged in the slots of the secondary wheel.
  • stoppage of the flange will correspond to stoppage of the shutter winding shaft in that the hub of the flange is splined on the shaft.
  • the stopping device in question is of the type consisting of a gearmotor whose worm screw (1) engages simultaneously with two adjacent gear wheels, namely a main (2) and a secondary (3) wheel; the first (2) rotates the winding shaft of the shutter and the second (3) stops said shaft if the first wheel (2) accidentally disengages from the worm screw (1).
  • Neither of these wheels are splined on the shaft (not illustrated in the enclosed drawings) in that the transmission of the wheel (2) movement of the shaft occurs by means of a flange (4) provided with a hub (4a) splined on the shaft.
  • This flange (4) is fixed, and in the case in question screwed, on the internal face (2a) of the main wheel (2), while the secondary wheel is centred on the hub (4a) and can rotate and translate axially with respect to the hub.
  • the secondary wheel (3) is provided with a pair of diametrically opposing identical slots (3a) having a curved profile and provided with a centre groove (3b) of reduced width, into which the enlarged head (5a) of the stopping pins (5) fixed on the flange (4) and projecting from the latter on the part interfaced to the internal side of the secondary wheel (3) which is provided with front teeth (3c) on its external face, namely that facing the opposing wall of the casing (6) of the gearmotor, engage.
  • a series of annular compressed springs (7) being provided between the flange (4) and the secondary wheel (3) which constantly exercise an axial thrust on the wheel (3) tending to detach the latter from the main wheel (2).
  • this detachment between the main wheel (2) and the secondary wheel (3) may occur only if the stopping pins (5) slide in the slots (3a) and project from the centre groove (3b) so that the enlarged heads (5a) may house in the slots (3a).
  • the stoppage of the wheel (3) corresponds to the stoppage of the flange (4) and consequently that of the shutter winding shaft on which the flange (4) hub (4a) is splined.
  • the secondary wheel (3) is provided with a second pair of curved slots (8) identical to the slots (3a) but without centre groove (3b).
  • pins (9) in fact do not perform a hooking action with respect to the secondary wheel (3) but simply assist the pins (5) during the emergency stopping phase in the sense that said pins (9) support, together with the pins (5), the stress due to the abrupt stopping of the wheel (3) when the pins (5 and 9) slide in the corresponding slots (3a and 8) and abut simultaneously against the bottom of the corresponding housing slot.
  • the flange (4) is fixed to the main wheel (2) by means of the screws (10) which fix the pins (5 and 9) to the flange (4).
  • the pins (5 and 9) are provided with an axial threaded hole in which the screws (10) which pass through holes (11) on the wheel (2) and on the flange (4), engage.
  • the main wheel (2) may be splined directly on the shutter winding shaft, so that the flange (4) is no longer required, provided the springs (7) and the stopping pins (5) with enlarged head (5a) are used.
  • the flange (4) is used only for cost related reasons, since the main wheel (2) is generally made of expensive brass, while the worm screw is made of steel.
  • the accident prevention device in question may also be used in the same way and with the same efficiency, as an emergency stop, for any rotating winding shaft, whether or not the element to wind is a shutter rather than a blind, a wire, chain or cable etc.
