Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an entrance arrangement for an entrance opening of a building, comprising an automatic door with at least one door panel which is movable between a closed position and an open position and which, in the closed position thereof, prevent passage through the entrance opening and in the open position allows passage through the entrance, a second passage regulating means movable between a closed position and an open position which, in the closed position thereof, prevent passage through the entrance opening and in the open position allows passage through the entrance.
  • the present invention also relates to an entrance module comprising said entrance arrangement and a building provided with said entrance arrangement or entrance module.
  • an entrance arrangement using an automatic door is frequently seen in public buildings such as shops.
  • a motion sensor is used to detect movement of a person within a predefined range in front of the entrance in the closed position of said at least one door panel, the motion sensor can send a signal to a control unit.
  • the control unit can control a door operator to move said at least one door panel, which may form part of a sliding, swinging or revolving door, from the closed position to the open position.
  • a presence sensor is often used to detect the presence of a person in the entrance opening.
  • the presence sensor will send a signal to the control unit, which, on the basis of said signal, will prevent said at least one door panel from unsafe behaviour.
  • the control unit will control the door operator to move said at least one door panel from the open position to the closed position.
  • the present inventor has also recognised the problem of using a separate automatic door and separate additional means. This makes it necessary to install the aforesaid devices separately.
  • This problem becomes manifest in various ways.
  • the owner or the tenant of a building must go through a purchasing process for each separate device.
  • the separate devices must be installed independently of each other. This leads to a great deal of inconvenience for the persons passing through the entrance opening.
  • the installers must install the separate devices one after another, frequently in a confined (installation) space near the entrance opening, which often results in a cluttered array of parts, wiring and circuitry. In some cases, previously installed devices even become inaccessible upon subsequent installation of other devices, so that maintenance thereof in fact becomes costly to perform.
  • Another consequence of the use of separate devices is the fact that the various devices, once they have been installed, need to be operated separately each time by the shop staff.
  • the automatic door provides convenience in passing the entrance when the shop is open and the second passage regulating means is in an open position.
  • a second automatic door helps to keep unwanted intruders out after closing time as an extra door increases the effort needed to breaking entry.
  • automatic doors are usually, at least partially, transparent and it is therefore considered wise to turn out the light inside the building to shield what is inside and to lessen the attraction of burglars.
  • the second passage regulating means is a shutter.
  • Shutters are typically provided at the exterior side of a door panel and are frequently an attractive target for graffiti vandalism, especially in shopping streets. Shutters are also considered unattractive to look at and shopping streets are therefore usually not appealing after closing time.
  • a screen is arranged being movable between a first position, in which the screen leaves the entrance opening essentially clear, and a second position, in which the screen is present at the interior side of said at least one door panel.
  • a first position in which the screen leaves the entrance opening essentially clear
  • a second position in which the screen is present at the interior side of said at least one door panel.
  • the screen is provided with a message and/or an aesthetical illustration.
  • the screen then provides a possibility of drawing the attention of persons from outside the building and enhances the experience of the entrance after closing time.
  • said screen comprise a display area, on which a message and/or illustration can be displayed or projected and said screen display area can, in a still further embodiment, be releasably attached to facilitate replacement.
  • the display area can be adapted to display the message and/or illustration in a variety of ways, such as a written, painted, printed, projected, direct displayed (as in using an electronic display, e.g. using LCD, OLED or other displaying technology).
  • the message and/or illustration can e.g. be both still and moving images.
  • said second passage regulating means can be an automatic door with at least one door panel.
  • the benefit of the screen shielding what is inside the entrance is obvious and the second automatic door to some extent reduces the outside air disrupting the climate within the building.
  • said second passage regulating means is a shutter, which is movable between an operative, closed position and a non-operative, open position. In the closed position thereof, the shutter further secures the building against unwanted intruders after closing time. If the shutter is provided at the interior side of the building, it is no longer possible to put graffiti thereon.
  • said second passage regulating means is arranged at the interior side of said at least one door panel, whereby said automatic door and said second passage means, in there respective closed position, are defining between them an entrance space, in which entrance space said screen is arranged, at least in its said second position.
  • a controllable door operator is arranged for moving said at least one door panel between the positions defined for said at least one door panel, a control unit is arranged for controlling the door operator, a presence and/or motion sensor means is arranged capable of sensing the presence and movement, respectively, of a person within a predefined range in front of the entrance opening and delivering a signal to the control unit on the basis thereof and a controllable operator is arranged for the second passage regulating means for moving the said means between the closed position and the open position.
  • air curtain means are arranged for providing a so-called air curtain, which, in the operative condition thereof, prevents air from flowing through the entrance opening in the open position of said at least one door panel and thereby prevents (at least as much as possible) any disruption of the climate -inside the building by outside air.
  • the control unit is in an embodiment arranged for controlling the automatic door, the second passage means and/or the air curtain means. As a result, only one control unit is needed for controlling all the functional means of the arrangement.
  • the arrangement comprises controllable lighting means.
  • Said lighting means are capable of illuminating the entrance opening and possibly part of the surrounding area.
  • lighting means are provided for lighting at least an area outside the door. Exterior lighting has a deterrent effect on vandals and burglars, who prefer to carry out their undesirable activities in the dark.
  • the lighting means may also be provided for lighting the entrance opening or for lighting the screen in the closed position thereof.
  • the setting of the lighting means can be varied at least between a higher and a lower lighting level.
  • the control unit is arranged for controlling the lighting level of the lighting means.
  • the lighting means can produce light of a varying intensity.
  • the intensity of the light can be set to a higher level when the presence and/or motion sensors detect the presence of a person. In the situation in which people have access to the building, this can be done in order to give people entering and leaving the building a good view, and in the situation in which the building is closed, it is done to draw the public's attention or in order to create an even greater deterrent effect for vandals and burglars.
  • control unit comprises a central operating unit, by means of which a user can operate the control unit. This enables a person to control all the means controlled by the controlled unit by means of one operating unit.
  • control unit comprises a memory for programming and/or recording a number of predefined combinations of positions of means that can be controlled by the control unit. This may reduce operating the control of the entrance arrangement to selecting a pre-programmed combination of conditions and the setting of one of the operators/drive units can be made to depend on a state of another operator/drive unit or on a signal from a sensor.
  • the control unit can in a further embodiment comprise a selection menu for selecting a combination of states of means that can be controlled by the control unit. Using the selection menu, it is easy to select and set pre-programmed standard settings.
  • the entrance arrangement comprises climate sensor means for measuring the temperature and/or the humidity of the ambient air and delivering a signal representative of the measured climate to the control unit.
  • climate sensor means for measuring the temperature and/or the humidity of the ambient air and delivering a signal representative of the measured climate to the control unit.
  • This provides a condition for controlling the air curtain and/or the door panel, for example, in dependence on the measured climate either inside or outside the building.
  • the control unit can furthermore be arranged for controlling at least one of the controllable operators/drive units in dependence on the signal from the climate sensor means. Because of these two aspects, the climate inside the building can be controlled at least partially automatically by the automatic door and the associated provisions.
  • control unit is arranged for controlling at least one of the means that can be controlled by the control unit in dependence on the signal from said presence and/or motion sensor and/or said climate sensor means.
  • control unit controls the functional means of the entrance arrangement in dependence on basic settings and environmental factors.
  • the control unit is preferably arranged for controlling at least one of the means of the arrangement in dependence on the position of one of the other means of said arrangement.
  • the door operator and the air curtain unit can be set so that in use the air curtain unit is turned on at a predefined position of said at least one door panel, e.g. before the door operator is activated to open the door or any other desired position.
  • the door operator and the air curtain unit can be set so that in use the air curtain unit is turned off at a predefined position of said at least one door panel, e.g. in the closed position of said at least one door panel or any other desired position.
  • heating means are provided for heating the air to be blown by the air curtain means, and the control unit is arranged for controlling the heating means.
  • the heated air curtain air contributes towards controlling the interior climate, especially when the outside temperature is low.
  • the shutter used is a roller shutter and in a further embodiment a guide is provided for guiding the roller shutter, which guide is recessed in structural elements of a construction surrounding the entrance opening of the automatic door. In this way the weak spots of the roller shutter are rendered practically inaccessible for persons intending to force the roller shutter open on account of the presence of the recessed guide.
  • the screen is movable in between the automatic door and the shutter, from a first position, in which the screen leaves the entrance opening essentially clear, and a second position, in which the screen, in the closed position of the shutter, is present between said at least one door panel and said shutter.
  • a screen operator is provided for moving the screen between said first position and said second position.
  • said screen operator is controllable and the control unit can be arranged for controlling the screen operator. This makes it possible to move the screen between the first position and the second position, possibly in an adjustable and/or controllable manner.
  • a mechanical link can be provided between the free end of a spring loaded roll-up screen and e.g. the front end of a roller shutter. Then the screen can be made to follow the shutter and no specific driver and control are needed for the screen.
  • said at least one door panel is a slide panel which is movable between a closed position and an open position. Sliding doors take up comparatively little space in an entrance opening, so that comparatively much shop space remains.
  • the at least one door panel is in an embodiment a sliding panel, which is movable between a closed position and an open position. Sliding doors take up comparatively little space in an entrance opening, so that comparatively much effective shop space remains.
  • Said at least one door panel is in a further embodiment movable between a closed position, a first open position and a second open position different from said first open position. In this way the degree to which the automatic door is opened can be made to depend on the weather conditions or on the number of persons passing through the entrance opening.
  • vehicle blocking means are arranged in said entrance space to stop a vehicle to pass through at least the second passage regulating means.
  • Said blocking means can be fixed or movable, e.g. the protruding, hindering part is possible be moved away by authorized personnel (e.g. foldable, sliding, telescopic, etc. depending on choice and space available).
  • the vehicle blocking means may comprise at least one means arranged protruding from the floor in the entrance space in its active position.
  • the vehicle blocking means can be a movable means provided with a controllable operator and the control unit is preferably arranged for controlling said vehicle blocking means.
  • said vehicle blocking means comprising at least one anti-ram post.
  • a post provides a simple, secure and space economic way of protecting the premises.
  • the post is a telescopic post provided with a controllable operator and the control unit can be arranged for controlling said post.
  • the post can be controlled together with e.g. a roller shutter and when the roller shutter is closed the telescopic post will erect. When the roller shutter opens, the telescopic post will slide down into the floor.
  • the present invention also relates to the problem of fitting together parts from different suppliers, which is solved by an entrance module comprising the entrance arrangement having the features described above. This makes it possible to obtain the various means together with the automatic door by placing one order and to install the same in one operation, with the installer being able to install the entrance module in an orderly manner and gear the operation of the elements to each other.
  • the entrance module is a built-in module.
  • a module as described above may be assembled on-site upon installation, but for the user of the building it will be advantageous if it suffices to install a pre-assembled module on-site.
  • the module may be a standard module or a module that has been made to measure.
  • the present invention further relates to a building having an entrance opening provided with an entrance arrangement or an entrance module as described above.
  • the advantages thereof correspond to the advantages that have been discussed above in relation to the entrance arrangement and the entrance module and in relation to the building provided with an entrance opening featuring the above aspects.
  • FIG. 1 shows an entrance module 1 according to the present invention, in which numeral 4a indicates a guide for an automatic sliding door, which automatic sliding door is not shown in figure 1 for the sake of clarity.

  • the module has been described as a more or less complete unit, but it is also possible to provide separate functional means for use in an entrance opening of a building separately and subsequently interconnect said means. This makes it possible to realise a central control and operation.
  • functional means may be provided as part of a complete module, as separate means in an arrangement or as a combination of means in a module and separate means.
  • Figure 4 is a schematic survey of the control unit 12 and central operating unit 12, of the lamps 3 for the door opening, the sliding doors 4, the air curtain 6, the lamps 7 for general lighting, the halogen lamps 8 for the screen 9, the screen 9 and the roller shutter 10 (for installation) in an entrance opening of a building in combination with the presence and motion sensors 2, 5 and the climate sensor 13.
  • the above means may be connected in the manner described below, for example. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art, however, that although more or less all the means are interconnected herein, means may be left out or other means may be added, according to the requirements of the user of the building. Said leaving out and/or adding of means does (do) not affect the principle of the central control and operation.
  • the means may also be connected in different combinations, of course, according to the user's requirements.
  • the control unit 20 comprises a programme in which several positions are pre-programmed, which positions can be selected at will by an operator.
  • a so-called “night position” the external presence and motion sensor 5 is activated, the internal presence and motion sensor 2 is deactivated, the screen 9 and the roller shutter 10 are lowered, the LED lighting for the screen is on the and, the halogen lamps 8 for the screen 9 are off, the air curtain device 6 is off, the automatic door is locked, the like 3 for the door opening is off and the illuminated advertising behind the plate 11 is on.
  • the external presence and motion sensor 5 detects movement near the entrance opening, the halogen lamps 8 for the screen, or the projection of the message or the active display will go on, thereby creating a larger light output. This is done on the one hand to draw the attention of those present to the screen and on the other hand to deter burglars.
  • the first shop-open position When the shop is opened to the shoppers, for example at nine o'clock in the morning, the first shop-open position will be turned on, in which position the presence and motion sensors 2, 5 are active, the screen 9 and the roller shutter 10 are up, the LED lighting and the halogen lamps 8 of the screen 9 are off, the air curtain device 6 operates at half power upon being activated by means of a signal from the presence and motion sensors 2, 5, the automatic door is moved in response to detections made by the presence and motion sensors 2, 5, the LED lighting in the door goes on in response to the detection of presence and/or movement near the door and the illuminated advertising is on.
  • the automatic door In a second shop-open position, the automatic door is open all the time, the external presence and motion sensor 2 is deactivated, the internal presence and motion sensor 5 is active, the screen 9 and the roller shutter 10 are up, the LED lighting and the halogen lamps 8 of the screen 9 are off, the air curtain device 6 continuously operates at half power, the LED lighting in the door the LED lighting 3 in the door opening is off and the illuminated advertising is on.
