Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety protection system for automatic gates.
  • the gate on which the system according to the present invention can be applied may be a swing gate, and more generally, the system according to the present invention can be applied to barriers wherein access is provided by opening and closing at least one wing, automatically moved in an angular direction in relation to the corresponding direction of the barrier.
  • Automatic gates giving access to private areas are normally activated by users from a fixed point, by means of a push-button or key for the opening-closure action, or by means of a remote control device that transmits an impulse via radio to an electronic unit which activates the gate movement in the desired direction.
  • Such ribs are placed at the most dangerous corners, and are made from a pliant material and by means of a pressure switch for example, they transmit an electric signal to an electronic transmitter contact each time the pressure varies inside the ribs, as for example, in the case of accidental contact or impact provoked by vehicles during transit.
  • the electronic transmitter immediately sends an impulse to a receiver, that can be activated through radio contact, located in the vicinity of a fixed point, and which immediately interrupts the electrical power supply to the system; consequently, if the gate is in motion, it is immediately blocked or inverts its movement in the position it has reached.
  • pneumatic type ribs there are other types, again made from pliant materials, which contain a fine steel cable stretched inside the rib, which intervenes for example on the electrical power supply to the system.
  • the protection rib is mounted on the front surface of the gate panel in its travelling direction.
  • the transmission of the signal generated by the protection rib to a gate control unit is sent via radio, or via the cable from the panel to the fixed part of the gate, through flexible electric cables or sliding saddles on the gate.
  • each known method for signal transmission of the rib presents problems of reliability.
  • the interruption signal transmitted via radio from the ribs to the gate control unit can be affected by disturbances, and therefore it can occur that the signal is not received or recognised by the unit.
  • An interruption signal transmitted via cable implies the need for cable connection between a fixed part and a mobile part of the gate with the ensuing possibility of rupture and/or damage over a period of time, thus provoking an increase in system production and maintenance costs.
  • the Applicant has envisaged a simple and reliable way to send such signal transmission of the rib, through the presence of at least one infrared ray signal along a path, which defines a determined area around the gate.
  • said "protected" area has a substantially quadrangular shape and comprises the barred barrier of the gate, two straight lines substantially orthogonal to the barred barrier, and external to the wings of the gate, and a straight line opposite and substantially parallel to the barred barrier, which closes the protected area.
  • Any form of violation within the protected area will provoke the arrest or inversion of the movement of the mobile wings of the gate.
  • an intervention signal generated by the protective ribs placed on the gate wings caused for example, by the impact of the rib itself against some obstacle, will deactivate an infrared transmitter and generate the simultaneous arrest of the mobile wings.
  • US 2004/140782 shows a safety protection system according to the preamble of claim 1. Therein sensors are attached to the door.
  • WO 00/08286 shows a similar system with a sensor fixed to a wall.
  • One aspect of the present invention concerns a safety protection system for an automatic gate, according to appended claim 1.
  • the automatic gate illustrated comprises a pair of mobile wings 11 and 12, shown in the figure with a rectangular form as an example, and which cover an access passage or barrier 13.
  • Such access passage is defined at its ends by fixed parts of said gate comprising a pair of columns 14 and 15, positioned at opposite ends of said passage or barrier.
  • the present invention is also applicable to access passages covered by a single swinging wing.
  • the wings perform a swivel action and are each hinged to one of said columns; they are preferably each moved by a motor, such as an electric motor, for example.
  • the wings are equipped with a protective rib made of rubber or in any case of some pliant material, the rib substantially having a triangular prismatic shape, and being attached to a front wall of said wing.
  • the protective rib can be made according to different equivalent technologies, wherein, as a result of pressure exerted against the pliant material of said rib, a signal is generated, or an electric signal is interrupted in order to communicate the impact of the rib against some obstacle, and that the wing movement must be arrested.
  • the gate is driven by said motors which are controlled by an electronic control unit located in proximity to the fixed elements of the gate, for example.
  • the safety protection system defines a protected area, which, if violated, will provoke the arrest and/or the inversion of the movement of the mobile parts, such as the gate wings for example.
  • Said protected area concurs with the dimensions of the operational surface of the gate when open or closed, and has a substantially quadrangular form, whose perimeter is defined by the aforesaid barred gate barrier 13, two sides 16 and 17, substantially orthogonal to the barred barrier and external to the gate wings, and an opposite side 18, substantially parallel to the barred barrier which closes the protected area.
  • Infrared ray transmitters or receivers are positioned at the intersection of said sides; the transmitters and receivers are positioned in a manner so that the infrared rays transmitted by the transmitters substantially travel along the perimeter of the protected area until they reach the position of the corresponding receiver.
  • the system comprises a first transmitter 21, associated with one of the two columns 14,15 on which one wing is hinged, and a first receiver 22 associated with the opposite column 15,14 so that a first infrared ray R1 substantially travels along the access passage 13.
  • a second transmitter 23, associated with the same column containing the first transmitter 21, sends a second infrared ray R2 in a direction substantially corresponding to one of said orthogonal sides 17 towards a second receiver 24, located at the intersection with the opposite side 18.
  • a third transmitter 25 sends a third infrared ray R3 to said second receiver, which, for this purpose is able to receive at least two rays from different directions, for example, orthogonal to each other.
  • said third transmitter 25 is able to send a fourth ray R4 in the direction of a third receiver 26 associated with the same column in which the first receiver 22 is present ; for this purpose, the third transmitter 25 is able to send at least two rays simultaneously in different directions from each other, orthogonal, for example.
  • a state of alarm can be generated by the interruption of one of said rays, for example, in the case where this is provoked by an intrusion inside the protected area.
  • the state of alarm will identify a condition wherein an impact has occurred against an obstacle of the wing during its travel course, or it is able to identify an operating fault of the rib, serious enough to warrant the interruption of the total gate function.
  • Infrared ray transmitters are activated by a pilot system circuit, connected to the said electronic control unit of the gate (not shown in the figure) comprising a microprocessor that activates or deactivates the transmitter in question; the power supply for circuits and transmitters is preferably furnished by a long-life battery.
  • said receivers are connected to a decoding circuit connected to the electronic control unit of the gate.
  • Said pilot system circuit is adapted to maintain the transmitter active during normal gate function, through the transmission of a predetermined infrared signal, that identifies a state of alarm when interrupted.
  • the decoding circuit identifies the state of alarm following the lack of infrared signal reception and sends a block and/or inversion signal to the gate control unit, which arrests the motor, and therefore also the travel movement of the gate.
  • the transmitter power is preferably supplied by a battery which must be replaced regularly; for this purpose, the system according to the present invention comprises a battery charging signal circuit, which includes a battery charge signal led located in proximity to the receiver, for example.
  • the transmitter pilot system circuit codes the infrared signal by entering data concerning the status of the corresponding battery in its system.
  • the decoding circuit can decode this data contained in the infrared signal and activate said battery status signal led.
  • the pilot system circuit can code the infrared signal by entering regular impulses at a predetermined distance from one another. In the case were the battery begins to run down, the pilot system circuit can intensify or space out the frequency of said impulses. In this manner, the decoding circuit on the receiver can activate the pilot led according to the frequency variation of the impulses. Suitable system adjustment setting can regulate the switch-on of the low battery led sufficiently in advance in relation to the actual low battery condition (for example, two to three months beforehand).
  • said signal led should be located on the receiver, since it can be conveniently powered by the electronic gate control unit, so that the electronic circuits contained in the pilot system circuit that controls the transmitter are reduced to a minimum.
  • said led can be mounted directly on the transmitter.
  • the infrared signal indicates the correct operating condition of the gate, so failure to receive said signal will provoke the arrest of the travel action of the mobile wing of the gate.
