Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an anti-fall device of a flexible structure closing apron capable of being wound around a substantially cylindrical support system and mounted to rotate around a fixed shaft, generally above an opening to condemn.
  • the invention finds a particularly advantageous, but not exclusive, application in the field of vertical erasure closures equipping the accesses of industrial and commercial buildings.
  • curtains or apron more generally designate any means capable of closing an opening, that is to say a plate, a blade assembly, a grid etc ...
  • the structural flexibility necessary for the winding of this organ can come directly from the intrinsic nature of the material constituting it and / or joints linking the different parts of the component.
  • the winding of the deck is traditionally performed around at least one spool mounted to rotate on said fixed shaft.
  • Each coil is also connected to the fixed shaft by means of a spiral-type compensation spring, wound inside said coil itself.
  • This elastic return means is responsible for counterbalancing at least partially the weight of the apron by restoring during the opening phase, the stored energy in the form of torque during the closing phase.
  • roller curtains around a fixed shaft are subject to a number of regulatory and prescriptive requirements.
  • the French standard NF P 25-362 replaced by the European standard EN 12604: 2000, having the status of a French standard, taking effect on January 20, 2001, concerns the safety of users in case of failure of the closing.
  • an apron has a relatively large weight, generally ranging from several tens to several hundred kilograms. Combined with a high fall speed, this mass is a real danger for users.
  • each compensation spring is integral with a locking element mounted to move on the corresponding coil, the locking element being able to move in the direction of a static member integral with the shaft fixed to cooperate by locking with a stop portion of said static member, said locking member being kept away from the static member by the restoring force exerted by the compensation spring.
  • This device thus described has the advantage of being of extremely simple design since this security system requires the cooperation of only two parts, namely, a movable locking member and a static member. Therefore, and contrary to the antecedents of the prior art previously mentioned, the adaptation of such a retaining device requires only minor changes in the intrinsic structure of the winding closure. In Indeed, these transformations are essentially limited to simply secure the outer end of the compensating spiral spring to a locking member mounted movably in displacement on the corresponding coil. This does not call into question the classic mechanism of closure, whether from a structural and / or functional point of view. For all these reasons, the described retaining device has increased reliability as well as a particularly low cost compared to equivalent systems already known.
  • the compensation spring is indeed the only part controlling the immobilization or displacement of the locking element with respect to the coil. In other words, it alone ensures the immobilization of the blocking element in the passive position, it also controls only the movement towards the static member, and finally it guarantees only the maintenance in the active position; the passive and active positions being those in which said blocking element and said static body are respectively at a distance and in contact with each other.
  • the position of the locking element with respect to the static member therefore depends solely and especially directly on the state of the compensation spring.
  • the compensation spring Under normal conditions of use, the compensation spring is constantly stretched due to excessive winding of the coil constituting it, and this regardless of the position of the deck. As also its internal end is fixed, the restoring force is only felt at its outer end. It is indeed the only one likely to move, for the double reason that it is secured to the locking element mounted movably moving on the coil on the one hand, and that said coil is itself mounted mobile in rotation around the fixed shaft on the other hand.
  • the only restoring force thus makes it possible to advantageously maintain the blocking element in the passive position, that is to say at a distance from the static body. This balance remains perfectly stable as long as the compensation spring retains its original mechanical properties.
  • the compensation spring When a failure occurs at the compensation spring, the break occurs systematically at the point where the stresses are maximum, that is to say where the curvature is the strongest.
  • the part concerned corresponds, of course, to the internal end of the compensation spring, and more generally to the entire zone located near the attachment point on the fixed shaft. The compensation spring is thus released from the inside, from any mechanical stress so that the restoring force disappears.
  • the compensation spring Since the compensation spring is wound on itself when the closure functions normally, the volume it occupies inside the coil is very much lower than that which it has at rest, that is to say when not subject to any winding stress. Also, after rupture, it will tend to resume naturally its original form. In the event of a failure, there is therefore a substantially radial expansion of the compensation spring which tends to deviate at most from the axis around which it was wound. This movement continues until the deployment of the spring is stopped, due to the limited space inside the coil.
  • the locking element When no longer subjected to the restoring force exerted by the compensation spring, the locking element is therefore free to leave its passive position and move relative to the coil on which it is mounted, in the direction of the static organ. This obviously implies that it can be driven on the move through a moving body. This is precisely what happens when the compensation spring breaks then animates the double movement of radial extension and rotation previously described. The locking element, secured to the outer end of the compensation spring, is then moved to the active position in which it cooperates by locking with the static member.
  • the blocking element is held in contact with the static member by virtue of the fact that the radial expansion of the compensation spring is limited by the small volume available inside the coil, and that thus said spring comes very quickly to lock against the apron portion surrounding said coil, thereby immobilizing said locking member.
  • the retaining device comprises guide means adapted to direct the movement of the locking element towards the static member, in case of rupture of the compensation spring; the envisaged displacement occurring between the passive position in which the blocking element is at a distance from the static body and the active position in which the said blocking element is in contact with the said static body.
  • the compensation spring is driven by a complex movement resulting substantially from the combination of radial expansion and rotation in the winding direction of the turn. Also, it is particularly advantageous to control the movement of its outer end so that the movable locking element is safely and effectively directed towards the static member.
  • the purpose here is above all to avoid the risk of attachment of the compensation spring and / or the locking element with any element, present inside the coil, other than the body static.
  • Advantageously arranged guiding means advantageously make it possible to achieve this objective.
  • the object of the invention is to propose an alternative embodiment as well as a certain number of improvements made to the entire device.
  • the invention relates to an anti-fall device of a closing apron intended to be wound around at least one spool mounted to rotate on a fixed shaft and connected thereto via a compensation spring wound on itself between two blanks of the coil and whose inner end is integral with the shaft, while its outer end cooperates with a locking element mounted to move on said coil, so as to in case of failure of the compensation spring, said element comes to cooperate by locking with a stop portion of a static member integral with the fixed shaft and therefore of the apron, characterized in that the locking element cooperating with the outer end of the compensation spring is constituted by a finger interposed between the two blanks, generally parallel, delimiting the coil, an outer portion of which cooperates with an elastic thrust member and an inner portion of which cooperates with the end of the compensation spring, which finger is able to move axially along an axis parallel to that of the shaft, between two positions, one of which unlocking in which it is kept at a distance from the abutment portion of the static member, by putting
  • the present invention also relates to the features which will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.
  • the device 1 generally designated in the figures makes it possible to prevent the fall of a closing apron (not shown).
  • the locking element 7 cooperating with the external end 4b of the compensation spring 4 is constituted by a finger interposed between the two blanks 5, 6, generally parallel, delimiting the coil 2, an outer portion 7a of which is connected with an elastic thrust member 10 and whose inner portion 7b cooperates with the end 4b of the compensation spring 4.
  • the finger 7 is capable of moving axially along an axis parallel X, X 'to that Y, Y' of the shaft 3, between two positions A, B, the so-called unlocking one in which it is kept at a distance the abutment portion 8 of the static member 9, by putting the axial thrust member 10 under stress, by the single restoring force of the spring 4 at its outer end 4b.
  • the finger 7 is cylindrical and staggered in two different diameters D1, D2 delimiting a shoulder E between them.
  • the zone of smaller diameter D1 constitutes its inner part and that of the largest diameter D2 its external part.
  • the retention in the locking position A, by the single restoring force of the spring 4 at its end 4b, is effected by means of the shoulder E which constitutes a stop coming against the field of said end 4b of the spring 4, when it is stretched so operational.
  • Unlocking according to the position B of the finger 7 is effected by releasing its shoulder E, during an expansion of the winding force of the spring 4, in particular by breaking thereof, causing a development of its diameter.
  • the zone of larger diameter D2 of the finger 7 constituting its outer portion 7a is in connection with the elastic thrust member 10 which is constituted by a spiral spring mounted in extension between the outer end of the finger 7 and a fixed part of one of the blanks 5 constituting the coil 2 opposite that 6 facing the static member 8.
  • the inner face of the blank 6 opposite the static member 8 comprises a peripheral puncture 11 surrounding a passage hole 11A of the finger 7 in said blank 6 directed towards the abutment portion 8 of the static member 9, so as to constitute both a bearing to said finger 7 and an abutment to the compensation spring 4, avoiding any lateral displacement thereof on the rim of the blank 6, likely to cause the wedging of the spring 4 and adversely affect the operation of the device.
  • the inner face of the blank 5 opposite that 6 opposite the static member 9 comprises a peripheral puncture 12 surrounding the corresponding through hole 13 of the finger 7 directed towards the elastic thrust member 10 thereof, to constitute a landing.
  • the slats 11 and 12 effectively contribute to stiffen the blanks 6 and 5 and consequently strengthen the holding of the finger 7, in the unlocked position. Indeed, in this case, its role is to maintain the end of the spring 4 which is stretched.
  • external attachment means 14, 15 of one end of the extension spring 10, constituting the elastic thrust member are constituted by hooks 14, 15 obtained by deformation of material of the 5, around the passage hole 13 of the finger 7. This improvement is particularly clearly visible on the figure 10 constituting a section along line VIIIb, VIIIb of the figure 8 .
  • each of the blanks 5, 6 integrate, for one 5 the attachment means 14, 15 of the spring 10 and one of the bearings 12 of the finger 7, and for the other 6 the other bearing 10 of the finger 7 and a stop of the compensation spring 4 are constituted by a single piece obtained by stamping from a flat steel sheet in a single operation.
  • the blanks 5 and 6 are assembled together by means of connecting bars 22 arranged between said blanks, then stapled by a deformation 23 of the end of said strips, after having passed through corresponding holes 24 of the blanks.
  • These bars 22 are stiffened by a hollow stamping operation whose bulge 22a is turned outwardly and they contribute to the realization of the coil 2 by reinforcing it.
  • one 22A of these bars disposed near the punctures 11, 12 of the flanks 6, 5, supporting the gripping finger 7, of the spring 4, although identical to the other bars 22, has the particularity of to be turned so that its domed portion is turned inward and thus its recessed portion 22Aa to the outside.
  • said bar 22A is offset peripherally inwardly relative to the others to allow the spring 4, near its end 4b, to pass over the bar 22A covering its recessed portion 22Aa turned outward, so to the spring covering it. This is intended to limit and control expansion and friction during spring breakage.
  • the static member 9 comprises abutment portions 8 constituted by peripheral openings open at one of their ends and closed at the other end, in the sense of the blocking to be obtained in the event of unlocking of the finger 7 which has become lodged in the 8, the pitch between two gills, corresponding to an apron drop of less than thirty centimeters.
  • the static member 9 is obtained by stamping from a flat steel sheet in a single operation.
  • the static member 9 is secured to the shaft 3 by means of the tabs 16 extending axially from the body of the static member 9 and which are pierced with holes 17 fixing to the tree.
  • the coil is held in place on the shaft 3 not only by the static member 9 fixed on the shaft but also, on the opposite, by a fastener 18 which is also derived from the legs 19 in which are practiced holes 20 for fixing on the same shaft 3, thus trapping the coil and the fall prevention device according to the invention.
