Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automatic gate comprising at least one leaf articulated on a support structure linked to the ground, said leaf being able to be rotated around a vertical axis through drive means, according to preamble of claim 1.
  • Some common devices use a jack articulated between the pillar supporting the pivot connection of the leaf, and the leaf itself.
  • the shortening or lengthening the cylinder rod causes rotation of the leaf and therefore the opening or closing of the gate.
  • Move linear of the cylinder rod, integral with the leaf, causes the rotation of said leaf in one direction or the other depending on the movement of the rod cylinder.
  • actuator devices require a solid leaf and cannot be used in the case of large pillars.
  • a second type of relatively common device uses a system of articulated arm fixed between the pillar and the leaf.
  • a gear motor is attached to the pillar, even of large dimensions, and is linked to the leaf by through an articulated arm.
  • a third known solution consists in using geared motors or cylinders embedded in the ground and directly participating in the connection leaf pivot.
  • the present invention aims to provide an automatic portal comprising at least one leaf capable of being rotated around a vertical axis, by means of drive, which is easy to install, reliable, aesthetic and does not require the rigidity of the leaf.
  • an automatic gate comprising at least a leaf articulated on a support structure linked to the ground, said leaf being able to be rotated about a vertical axis, through a first drive means associated with a drive means and capable of engaging in a second complementary means fixed relative to said support structure, according to claim 1.
  • the driving means and the first means are reported on the leaf and are arranged in a long, hollow element integrated into the leaf.
  • the second means is also contained in the element elongated hollow, the latter forming a beam cantilevered relative to to the support structure.
  • the leaf consists of said beam and a panel supported by the beam.
  • the first means drive is a rack and the second drive is a pinion or a gear.
  • the first drive means includes a pinion or a gear associated with an element of connection, such as a chain or a belt, with the second means drive.
  • the portal has a second leaf, articulated in rotation at the end of the first so as to open in the form of an accordion.
  • leaf 1 comprising a panel 2 of substantially planar and rectangular shape whose large sides are horizontal and overcoming a horizontal beam 3 whose length corresponds to the length of panel 2.
  • the leaf 1 is adapted to be rotated relative to the ground 4 around a vertical axis of rotation A.
  • the axis of rotation A is located at one of the ends of panel 2 and beam 3 so that the assembly is cantilevered.
  • the leaf 1 is rotated by a high pivot link 5 and a low pivot link 5 ′ secured to the ground 4.
  • the high pivot link 5, known per se and not shown, is integral with another fixed part, i.e. a pillar known per se and not shown, i.e. the ceiling in the case of a garage door for example.
  • the lower pivot link 5 ' is described in more detail in relation to the figure 5.
  • Figure 2 shows the leaf 1 seen from the side. Panel 2 is placed above and in alignment with the beam 3, the axis of rotation A being their common axis of symmetry.
  • the beam 3 of substantially hexagonal section is linked to the ground 4 by via the lower pivot link 5 'located inside the beam 3.
  • the leaf is associated, in its upper part and in alignment with the axis of rotation A, at the high pivot link 5 secured to a fixed element (pillar, ceiling ).
  • Figure 3 shows, in section and in top view, a first embodiment of the rotary drive means of the beam 3 and therefore leaf 1.
  • the beam 3 has, seen from above, a shape substantially rectangular. Inside the beam 3 is disposed a first means drive, in this case a rack 6, capable of being actuated by a motor means, such as a screw or hydraulic jack 7, known per se and integral with the beam 3.
  • a motor means such as a screw or hydraulic jack 7, known per se and integral with the beam 3.
  • the jack 7, during its operation, is able to move the rack 6 in translation horizontal in the direction indicated by the arrow f, i.e. in the longitudinal direction of the beam 3.
  • the rack 6 has a toothed surface complementary to that a second drive means, a pinion 8, on which .. it meshes.
  • the pinion 8 is fixed relative to the ground 4 and is arranged in such a way that it is contained in beam 3 and that its axis of rotation is coincides with the vertical axis of rotation A of leaf 1.
  • the cylinder 7 is controlled by means of a control unit 9 known per se disposed inside the beam 3, at the opposite end of the one where the pinion is located 8.
  • the device works as follows:
  • the control unit 9 receives information from the operator, by via a remote control for example, analyzes this information and sends an order to the actuator 7.
  • the latter by lengthening or shortening of its rod, acts on the rack 6 which moves in translation and meshing on the pinion 8 linked to the ground 4.
  • the pinion 8 being fixed, the rack 6 is rotated around the pinion 8 and therefore the axis A of rotation of the leaf 1, driving the beam 3 and the panel 2 which it is integral with it, and thus causing the opening or closing of the gate.
  • Figure 4 shows, in section and in top view, another form of realization of the drive means in rotation of the beam 3 and therefore leaf 1.
  • the pinion 10 is rotated by means of a motor means, such a geared motor 12 secured to the beam 3.
  • the toothed wheel 13, fixed relative to the ground, is contained in the beam 3 and its axis of rotation coincides with the axis of rotation A of leaf 1.
  • a control box 9 similar to that used in the form of embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, is fixed inside the beam and connected to the gear motor 12.
  • the control unit 9 sends instructions to the geared motor 12 which, as the case may be, will rotate the pinion 10 in one direction or the other, meshing the toothed wheel 13 via the chain or the belt 11.
  • the fact that the gear 13 is fixed relative to the ground 4 by reaction causes the rotation of the beam 3 and the leaf 2 which is there interdependent, causing the leaf to open or close 1.
  • Figure 5 shows, in partial side section, the details of the means shown in Figure 3 and the lower pivot link 5 ' leaf 1 relative to the floor 4 ( Figure 1).
  • the beam 3 has a substantially hexagonal shape with two lateral faces 3a and 3b parallel to each other and vertical, one side upper 3c and a lower face 3d both horizontal and two inclined faces 3e and 3f connecting the lateral faces 3a and 3b to the face superior 3c.
  • the lateral face 3a is preferably removable to form a hatch for visit so as to be able to access the interior of the device, in particular the pinion 8 and the lower pivot link 5 '.
  • the panel 2 rests and is fixed on the upper face 3c of the beam 3 by any known means, such as screwing via a tab 3g, or by welding on the beam 3.
  • the outer ring of the tapered roller bearing 15 is engaged in the spur gear 8 which is fixed to the ground 4 by means of of known means.
  • the underside 3d has an opening and is attached to the beam 3 by any known means.
  • the rack 6, engaged on the pinion 8, is driven by a movement relative to the beam 3 with which it is associated.
  • Passage holes 16, 16 ′ are made in a fixing lug pinion 8 and in the upper face 3c of the beam 3 in order to leave pass the various power cables. These cables cross the pinion 8 passing through a central bore 17, at the axis of rotation A.
  • the motor means represented in the form of the jack 7 in the embodiment of Figure 3 or the gear motor 12 in that of the Figure 4, may consist of a simple crank capable of actuating the rack 6 to open or close the gate.
  • the portal includes means allowing its remote opening and closing such as cells or any other device known per se, associated with the control unit 9 (FIGS. 3 and 4).
  • the beam 3 being the carrier of the assembly, the device does not stress the rigidity of the panel 2 during its operation.
  • the device according to the invention has been described with a single rotary leaf but may include a second, identical and symmetrically arranged by compared to the first, making it possible to obtain a rotary gate with two leaves.
  • an additional panel can be added to the first, articulated at the end thereof by known means, so to cause an opening of the portal "accordion".
  • FIG. 6 Such an embodiment is shown in FIG. 6.
  • the panel 2 is articulated between two pivot connections, a high connection 5 and a 5 'low link.
  • Said panel 2 is linked on its free side opposite the axis of rotation A to a second panel 2 ', articulated in rotation on the first, via by any known means, around an axis of rotation B.
  • This guide carriage 18 is associated with a guide rail 19, parallel to the panels in the closed position of the gate and connecting the two pillars or the two opposite walls.
  • the panel 2 when the device is actuated via the housing of control 9, the panel 2 is rotated about the axis A and itself causes the panel 2 'to rotate about the axis B, causing opening the gate.
