Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation sur un bâti d'un rail appartenant à un ensemble moteur d' actionnement d'une porte, notamment de type basculante ou sectionnelle, ainsi qu'une installation d'actionnement d'une porte, notamment de type basculante ou sectionnelle, qui est pourvue d'au moins un tel dispositif de fixation.The present invention relates to a fastening device on a frame of a rail belonging to a motor assembly for actuating a door, in particular of the tilting or sectional type, as well as an installation for actuating a door, particularly for tilting or sectional type, which is provided with at least one such fastening device.

Une installation d'actionnement d'une porte comprend, de manière classique, un bâti et un ensemble moteur, pouvant être fixé de manière amovible sur ce bâti. Cet ensemble moteur est pourvu d'un groupe moto-réducteur entraînant une vis ou une chaîne, ainsi que d'un élément mobile qui se trouve déplacé sous l'effet de cette vis ou de cette chaîne, en étant relié à la porte à actionner.An actuating installation of a door comprises, in a conventional manner, a frame and a motor assembly, which can be removably attached to this frame. This motor assembly is provided with a geared motor unit driving a screw or a chain, as well as a movable element which is moved under the effect of this screw or chain, being connected to the door to be actuated .

Selon DE-A-33 01 446 , le dispositif assurant la fixation de l'ensemble moteur sur le bâti comprend deux chapes, solidaires respectivement du bâti et de l'ensemble moteur, alors qu'il est prévu un axe de liaison entre ces deux chapes.according to DE-A-33 01 446 , the device ensuring the attachment of the motor assembly on the frame comprises two yokes, secured respectively to the frame and the motor assembly, while there is provided a connection axis between these two yokes.

Cette solution implique cependant certains inconvénients.This solution, however, involves certain disadvantages.

Ainsi, la mise en oeuvre d'une telle fixation se révèle particulièrement peu commode. En effet, après avoir fixé l'une des chapes sur le bâti, l'utilisateur doit successivement présenter l'ensemble moteur en face de cette chape, puis ajuster leur position relative, afin de placer les deux chapes en regard, placer ensuite l'axe de liaison au travers de ces deux chapes, et enfin procéder à l'immobilisation de cet axe.Thus, the implementation of such a fixation is particularly inconvenient. Indeed, after fixing one of the yokes on the frame, the user must successively present the motor assembly in front of the yoke, then adjust their relative position, to place the two yokes next, then place the link axis through these two clevises, and finally proceed to the immobilization of this axis.

Par conséquent, les différentes opérations évoquées ci-dessus sont d'une réalisation délicate et peu aisée, pour un unique utilisateur.Therefore, the various operations mentioned above are of a difficult and uncomplicated realization, for a single user.

Par FR-A-2 595 110 , il a été proposé un dispositif de fixation autorisant un montage commode de l'ensemble moteur sur le bâti, par une seule personne.By FR-A-2,595,110 , it has been proposed a fixing device allowing a convenient mounting of the motor assembly on the frame, by a single person.

Il est ainsi prévu un support en forme de U, dont les ailes sont creusées d'une découpe ouverte, présentant une partie inférieure en forme de gorge, ainsi qu'une partie supérieure en forme d'arc de cercle. De plus, l'ensemble moteur est pourvu, à son extrémité devant être solidarisée au bâti, de deux axes en saillie.There is thus provided a U-shaped support, whose wings are hollowed out with an open cutout, having a lower portion in the form of a groove, and an upper portion in the shape of an arc of a circle. In addition, the motor assembly is provided, at its end to be secured to the frame, two projecting pins.

En vue de la fixation évoquée ci-dessus, l'utilisateur présente l'ensemble moteur de façon oblique, puis engage un des deux axes précités dans les gorges réalisées dans les ailes du support. Il fait ensuite pivoter l'ensemble moteur autour de cet axe, de manière à l'amener en position horizontale.In view of the fixing mentioned above, the user presents the motor assembly obliquely, then engages one of the two aforementioned axes in the grooves formed in the wings of the support. It then rotates the motor assembly about this axis, so as to bring it in a horizontal position.

L'autre axe vient alors au contact de la partie supérieure de la découpe ouverte, mentionnée ci-dessus, ce qui garantit donc le verrouillage de l'ensemble moteur sur le support.The other axis then comes into contact with the upper part of the open cut, mentioned above, which thus guarantees the locking of the motor assembly on the support.

Cette solution alternative, si elle se révèle particulièrement satisfaisante en termes de simplicité de montage, présente également certains inconvénients. En effet, le dispositif de fixation auquel elle fait appel ne peut pas être employé dans tous les types d'installation.This alternative solution, if it proves particularly satisfactory in terms of simplicity of assembly, also has certain disadvantages. Indeed, the fixing device it uses can not be used in all types of installation.

Ceci étant précisé, l'invention vise à remédier aux différents inconvénients de l'art antérieur évoqués ci-dessus.That being said, the invention aims to remedy the various disadvantages of the prior art mentioned above.

Elle se propose notamment de réaliser un dispositif garantissant une fixation de l'ensemble moteur sur le bâti, qui soit facile et rapide à mettre en oeuvre par un unique utilisateur, quel que soit le type d'installation où cet ensemble moteur doit être monté.It proposes in particular to achieve a device ensuring a fixing of the motor assembly on the frame, which is easy and quick to implement by a single user, regardless of the type of installation where this motor assembly is to be mounted.

A cet effet, elle a pour objet un dispositif de fixation selon la revendication 1 ou selon la revendication 3.For this purpose, it relates to a fixing device according to claim 1 or claim 3.

Des caractéristiques avantageuses font l'objet des revendications 2, 4 et 5.Advantageous features are the subject of claims 2, 4 and 5.

L'invention a également pour objet une installation d'actionnement selon la revendication 6.The invention also relates to an actuating installation according to claim 6.

L'invention va être décrite ci-après, en référence aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective, illustrant une installation d'actionnement d'une porte conforme à l'invention ;

illustrant le dispositif de fixation de la figure 4 dans deux étapes successives de son montage.illustrating the fixing device of the figure 4 in two successive stages of its assembly.

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent, de façon schématique, une installation permettant d'actionner une porte, notamment basculante ou sectionnelle, qui n'est pas représentée. Cette installation comporte un ensemble moteur 2, de type connu en soi, qui comprend un moto-réducteur non représenté, apte à entraîner un chariot, également non représenté, le long d'un rail de support 4.The figures 1 and 2 show, schematically, an installation for operating a door, including tilting or sectional, which is not shown. This installation comprises a motor assembly 2, of a type known per se, which comprises a geared motor not shown, suitable for driving a carriage, also not shown, along a support rail 4.

Ce rail 4, dont seule une extrémité est illustrée sur la figure 1, possède un axe longitudinal principal noté A. Le chariot mentionné ci-dessus est apte à entraîner, de façon connue en soi, la porte précitée, qui est par exemple une porte de garage.This rail 4, of which only one end is illustrated on the figure 1 , has a main longitudinal axis noted A. The carriage mentioned above is capable of driving, in a manner known per se, the aforementioned door, which is for example a garage door.

L'installation d'actionnement comporte également un bâti, dont une paroi verticale 6 est illustrée partiellement, en traits mixtes. Une ouverture non représentée, qui peut être obturée de façon sélective par la porte précitée, est par ailleurs ménagée dans ce bâti.The actuating installation also comprises a frame, a vertical wall 6 is partially illustrated in phantom. An unrepresented opening, which can be selectively closed by the aforementioned door, is also provided in this frame.

L'installation d'actionnement de la figure 1 comporte enfin un dispositif de fixation, permettant de solidariser de façon amovible l'ensemble moteur 2 avec la paroi 6 du bâti. Ce dispositif comprend tout d'abord des moyens de fixation mâles, désignés dans leur ensemble par la référence 8, qui sont montés sur le groupe moteur 2.The actuation installation of the figure 1 finally comprises a fixing device, for releasably securing the motor assembly 2 with the wall 6 of the frame. This device comprises first of all male fastening means, generally designated by the reference 8, which are mounted on the power unit 2.

De façon plus précise, ces moyens de fixation 8 comprennent un corps 10, en forme de U, dont l'âme 101 est fixée sur l'extrémité du rail 4, par tout moyen approprié. Cette âme 101 se prolonge en deux ailes 102, qui s'étendent parallèlement à l'axe principal A du rail 4.More specifically, these fastening means 8 comprise a body 10, U-shaped, the core 1 1 is fixed on the end of the rail 4, by any suitable means. This core 10 1 is extended in two wings 10 2 , which extend parallel to the main axis A of the rail 4.

Les ailes 102 possèdent des extrémités libres 103 divergentes, en ce sens qu'elles sont inclinées à l'opposé l'une de l'autre. De la sorte, ces extrémités 103 définissent un entonnoir, destiné à faciliter l'introduction de moyens de fixation femelles, comme cela sera décrit plus en détail dans ce qui suit.The wings 10 2 have diverging free ends 10 3 in that they are inclined opposite one another. In this way, these ends 3 define a funnel, intended to facilitate the introduction of female fastening means, as will be described in more detail in the following.

Enfin, une tige 12, constituant un organe de fixation mâle, s'étend transversalement par rapport à l'axe A, en étant montée dans les parois en regard des ailes 102.Finally, a rod 12, constituting a male fastener, extends transversely to the axis A, being mounted in the walls opposite the flanges 10 2 .

Le dispositif de fixation comprend également des moyens femelles, désignés dans leur ensemble par la référence 14, qui sont montés sur la paroi 6 du bâti.The fixing device also comprises female means, generally designated by the reference 14, which are mounted on the wall 6 of the frame.

De façon plus précise, comme le montre notamment la figure 3, ces moyens 14 comprennent un corps 16 en forme de U, dont l'âme 161 est assujettie à la paroi 6 par tout moyen approprié. Cette âme 16 est prolongée par deux ailes 162, qui sont destinées à s'étendre au voisinage de la paroi intérieure des ailes 102 des moyens mâles 8.More specifically, as shown in particular by the figure 3 these means 14 comprise a body 16 U-shaped, the core 16 1 is secured to the wall 6 by any suitable means. This core 16 is extended by two wings 16 2 , which are intended to extend in the vicinity of the inner wall of the wings 10 2 of the male means 8.

Deux lumières oblongues 18, formant organe de fixation femelle, sont ménagées dans les ailes 162, tout en débouchant à l'extrémité libre de ces dernières. Enfin, il est prévu une pièce mobile 20, assurant une fonction de verrou comme on le verra par la suite, qui présente elle aussi une forme de U.Two oblong slots 18, forming a female fastener, are formed in the flanges 16 2 , while opening at the free end thereof. Finally, there is provided a movable part 20, providing a lock function as will be seen later, which also has a shape of U.

Cette pièce mobile 20 possède ainsi une âme 201, qui s'étend à distance de l'âme 161 du corps 16. Cette âme 201 est prolongée par deux ailes 202, s'étendant au voisinage de la paroi intérieure des ailes 162.This moving part 20 thus has a core 20 1 , which extends at a distance from the core 16 1 of the body 16. This core 20 1 is extended by two flanges 20 2 , extending in the vicinity of the inner wall of the wings 16 2 .

Ces ailes 202 sont terminées, à l'opposé de l'âme 201, par des saillies 203, qui s'étendent en direction des lumières 18, à savoir verticalement sur la figure 2. Chaque aile 202 est en outre pourvue d'un doigt latéral 204, apte à venir en butée contre les parois d'une encoche 163, ménagée dans une aile correspondante 162 du corps 16.These wings 2 are terminated, opposite the core 20 1 , by projections 3 , which extend towards the lights 18, namely vertically on the figure 2 . Each wing 2 is further provided with a lateral finger 4 , able to abut against the walls of a notch 16 3 , formed in a corresponding flange 16 2 of the body 16.

Un axe 22, sensiblement parallèle aux âmes 161 et 201, est monté dans les ailes 162, en s'étendant donc au travers des ailes 202 de la pièce mobile 20. Cet axe 22 reçoit un ressort de rappel 24, dont une extrémité 241 prend appui contre l'âme 201, alors que son autre extrémité 242 prend appui contre un épaulement rentrant 26, dont est pourvue l'une des ailes 162.An axis 22, substantially parallel to the webs 16 1 and 20 1 , is mounted in the wings 162, thus extending through the wings 2 of the movable part 20. This shaft 22 receives a return spring 24, one of which end 24 1 bears against the web 20 1 , while its other end 24 2 bears against a reentrant shoulder 26, which is provided with one of the wings 16 2 .

La fixation de l'ensemble moteur 2 sur la paroi 6, par l'intermédiaire des moyens respectivement mâles 8 et femelles 14, va maintenant être explicitée en référence notamment à la figure 2.Fixing the motor assembly 2 on the wall 6, via the respective male means 8 and female 14, will now be explained with reference in particular to the figure 2 .

Il s'agit tout d'abord de disposer le groupe moteur 2, de sorte que l'axe principal A du rail 4 soit sensiblement horizontal, à savoir perpendiculaire à la paroi 6. Puis, on rapproche ce groupe moteur, sur lequel sont montés les moyens mâles 8, par rapport au bâti 6, sur lequel sont montés les moyens femelles 14.It is first of all to arrange the motor unit 2, so that the main axis A of the rail 4 is substantially horizontal, namely perpendicular to the wall 6. Then, we bring this group of motor, on which are mounted the male means 8, with respect to the frame 6, on which the female means 14 are mounted.

A un certain stade de ce rapprochement, les ailes 162 du corps 16 viennent se loger dans le corps 10, à savoir contre la paroi intérieure des ailes 102. A cet égard, la conformation évasée des extrémités libres 103 est avantageuse, en ce sens qu'elle facilite une telle introduction.At a certain stage of this approximation, the wings 16 2 of the body 16 are housed in the body 10, namely against the inner wall of the wings 2 . In this respect, the flared conformation of the free ends 3 is advantageous in that it facilitates such an introduction.

Puis la tige 12 pénètre dans les lumières 18, jusqu' à venir au contact des saillies 203, dont est pourvue la pièce mobile 20. Cette tige 12 fait alors basculer la pièce mobile 20, autour de l'axe 22, selon la flèche F.Then the rod 12 enters the slots 18, until it comes into contact with the projections 3 , which is provided with the moving part 20. This rod 12 then tilts the moving part 20 about the axis 22, according to the arrow F.

Ceci a pour conséquence de repousser la saillie 203 vers le bas, de sorte qu'elle libère l'accès aux lumières 18. Par ailleurs, le ressort 24 se trouve comprimé, par action de son extrémité libre 241 contre l'âme 201 de la pièce mobile 20.This has the effect of pushing the projection 20 3 downwards, so that it releases access to the lights 18. In addition, the spring 24 is compressed, by action of its free end 24 1 against the core 20 1 of the moving part 20.

La configuration ci-dessus, illustrée plus particulièrement sur la figure 2, correspond à une position de déverrouillage de la pièce mobile 20, en ce sens qu'elle n'empêche plus la tige 12 d'accéder au fond des lumières 18.The above configuration, illustrated more particularly on the figure 2 , corresponds to a position unlocking the movable piece 20, in that it no longer prevents the rod 12 from accessing the bottom of the lights 18.

Puis, au terme du rapprochement mutuel de l'ensemble moteur 2 et de la paroi 6, la tige 12 vient en butée contre le fond des lumières 18.Then, at the end of mutual reconciliation of the motor assembly 2 and the wall 6, the rod 12 abuts against the bottom of the slots 18.

Dans cette situation, illustrée plus particulièrement à la figure 1, cette tige 12 n'est plus en contact avec les saillies 203, de sorte que le ressort 24 induit un pivotement de la pièce mobile 20, à l'opposé de la flèche F précitée. Par conséquent, cette pièce mobile 20 retrouve la position de la figure 3, les doigts 204 venant en butée contre les parois des encoches 163.In this situation, illustrated more particularly in figure 1 this rod 12 is no longer in contact with the projections 20 3 , so that the spring 24 induces a pivoting of the movable part 20, opposite the arrow F above. Therefore, this moving part 20 returns to the position of the figure 3 the fingers 20 4 abutting against the walls of the notches 16 3 .

Dans la configuration de la figure 1, la pièce mobile 20 se trouve dans sa position de verrouillage. En effet, elle empêche la tige 12 de ressortir des lumières 18, ce qui maintient une liaison fiable entre celles-ci et garantit une fixation satisfaisante de l'ensemble moteur 2 sur la paroi 6.In the configuration of the figure 1 the moving part 20 is in its locking position. Indeed, it prevents the rod 12 from coming out of the slots 18, which maintains a reliable connection between them and ensures satisfactory attachment of the motor assembly 2 to the wall 6.

Les figures 4 à 6 illustrent une variante de réalisation du dispositif de fixation conforme à l'invention. Sur ces figures, les éléments mécaniques analogues à ceux des figures 1 à 3 y sont affectés des mêmes numéros de référence, augmentés de 100.The Figures 4 to 6 illustrate an alternative embodiment of the fastening device according to the invention. In these figures, the mechanical elements similar to those of Figures 1 to 3 are assigned the same reference numbers, increased by 100.

Le dispositif des figures 4 à 6, assurant la fixation de l'ensemble moteur 102 sur une paroi 106, comprend un organe de fixation mâle 110, qui est un étrier en forme de U. Ce dernier possède une âme 1101, qui est fixée sur le rail 104 par tout moyen approprié, notamment par agrafage. Cette âme 1101 est prolongée par deux ailes 1102, dans lesquelles sont ménagées des encoches 1103.The device of Figures 4 to 6 , providing the attachment of the motor assembly 102 to a wall 106, comprises a male fastener 110, which is a U-shaped yoke. The latter has a core 110 1 , which is fixed on the rail 104 by any means suitable, in particular by stapling. This core 110 1 is extended by two wings 110 2 , in which are provided notches 110 3 .

Le dispositif de fixation comprend également un organe de fixation femelle 116, qui est un autre étrier en forme de U. Ce dernier possède une âme 1161, fixée à la paroi 106 par tout moyen approprié, notamment par vissage.The fixing device also comprises a female fastener 116, which is another shaped stirrup U. The latter has a core 116 1 , fixed to the wall 106 by any appropriate means, including screwing.

Cette âme 1161 est prolongée par des ailes 1162, dont les extrémités libres 1163 sont inclinées à l'opposé l'une de l'autre. Chaque aile est en outre pourvue d'une lame ressort 120 qui y est fixée par l'intermédiaire d'un rivet 121.This core 116 1 is extended by wings 116 2 , the free ends 116 3 are inclined to the opposite of one another. Each wing is further provided with a spring blade 120 which is fixed thereto by means of a rivet 121.

Chaque lame 120 possède une branche principale 1202, s'étendant au voisinage d'une aile 1162 correspondante, qui est prolongée par un bossage 1203, faisant saillie radialement vers l'intérieur de l'étrier 116. Dans la position de repos de la lame 120, chaque bossage 1203 pénètre au travers d'une entaille axiale 1164, ménagée dans une aile 1162 correspondante.Each blade 120 has a main branch 120 2 , extending in the vicinity of a corresponding flange 116 2 , which is extended by a boss 120 3 , projecting radially inwardly of the yoke 116. In the rest position of the blade 120, each boss 120 3 penetrates through an axial notch 116 4 , formed in a corresponding flange 116 2 .

Chaque bossage 1203 est par ailleurs terminé par une patte 1204, qui s'étend de façon oblique, à la fois à l'opposé de l'âme 1161 de l'étrier 116 et à l'opposé de l'autre lame.Each boss 120 3 is further terminated by a tab 120 4 , which extends obliquely, both opposite to the core 116 1 of the stirrup 116 and opposite the other blade .

Si l'on désire procéder à l'opération de fixation, il s'agit de rapprocher l'ensemble moteur 102, sur lequel est monté l'étrier mâle 110, par rapport à la paroi 106, sur laquelle est monté l'étrier femelle 116. Les ailes 1102 de l'étrier 110 pénètrent ainsi dans le volume intérieur de l'étrier 116.If it is desired to carry out the fixing operation, it is a question of bringing together the motor assembly 102, on which the male stirrup 110 is mounted, with respect to the wall 106, on which the female stirrup is mounted. 116. The wings 110 2 of the stirrup 110 thus penetrate into the interior volume of the stirrup 116.

Puis, les extrémités de ces ailes 1102 entrent en contact avec la patte terminale 1204. Ceci provoque alors un mouvement latéral des lames 120, qui ont donc tendance à s'écarter l'une par rapport à l'autre, comme cela est illustré à la figure 5.Then, the ends of these wings 110 2 come into contact with the end tab 120 4 . This then causes lateral movement of the blades 120, which therefore tend to deviate from each other, as illustrated in FIG. figure 5 .

Si l'on poursuit ce mouvement relatif entre l'ensemble moteur 102 et la paroi 106, les bossages 1203 des lames 120 viennent en regard des encoches 1103. Etant donné l'élasticité des branches 1202 de ces lames ressorts, les bossages 1203 pénètrent alors dans ces encoches 1103. Cette position, dite de verrouillage, est illustrée à la figure 6.If we continue this relative movement between the motor assembly 102 and the wall 106, the bosses 120 3 of the blades 120 are opposite the notches 110 3 . Given the elasticity of the branches 120 2 of these leaf springs, the bosses 120 3 then penetrate into these notches 110 3 . This the so-called locking position is illustrated in figure 6 .

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples décrits et représentés.The invention is not limited to the examples described and shown.

Ainsi, on peut également prévoir de disposer l'organe de fixation mâle sur la paroi du bâti, l'organe de fixation femelle étant alors solidaire de l'ensemble moteur.Thus, it is also possible to arrange the male fastener on the wall of the frame, the female fastener then being secured to the motor assembly.

Par ailleurs, dans les exemples, les organes de fixation mâle et femelle sont aptes à être solidarisés respectivement sur l'ensemble moteur et le bâti. A titre de variante, on peut prévoir que ces organes de fixation sont réalisés d'un seul tenant, soit avec l'ensemble moteur, soit avec le bâti.Furthermore, in the examples, the male and female fasteners are able to be secured respectively to the motor assembly and the frame. Alternatively, it can be provided that these fasteners are made in one piece, either with the motor assembly or with the frame.

En outre, les moyens de rappel du verrou 20, 120 ou 220, dans sa position de verrouillage, peuvent être d'une nature autre qu'élastique. A cet égard, il est notamment possible de prévoir des moyens de rappel agissant sous l'effet de la gravité.In addition, the latch return means 20, 120 or 220, in its locking position, may be of a nature other than elastic. In this respect, it is in particular possible to provide return means acting under the effect of gravity.
