Definitions

  • This patent concerns the moving parts of garage doors, also entrances to premises, like entrance frames, gates and barriers, and more generally all those parts that when moving can accidentally come into contact with people and things. It is well-known that for the above-mentioned moving parts, when moved automatically, current regulations oblige the adoption of adequate devices to ensure people or things that are near said moving parts are not harmed or damaged: among other things, such standards require that in the event of the moving part of the automated door hitting people or things, that this is limited in intensity and duration.
  • contact sensors are not easy to apply, since they cannot cover the whole moving part that might be involved in a collision.
  • Motion control (or control over the force) on the other hand has the drawback of the response time, since the measuring of the force is carried out through the increase in the absorption of the current of the motors. This has a double disadvantage because the measuring is done upstream of the kinematic chain and because the measurement is indirect, sensing the results of a collision and not the collision itself.
  • Another drawback is the need to distinguish the increase of the force due to normal factors, like for example an increase in wear and tear, from a real bump.
  • This patent is to create a device for controlling the movement of a moving part of a frame that guarantees security in a valid way, limiting the force that it might have against any obstacles in the way of people or things that it might encounter while it is moving.
  • Another purpose of this patent is to be able to regulate the speed of the movement of the moving part in those areas where it is necessary to limit the motion in the presence of an obstacle.
  • Such a device known also by the commercial name of an electronic accelerometer, can be similar to the one used in other applications on the market.
  • the main shortcoming in the numerous automation variants is that of the parameters taken into consideration for the movement of the wing, where the wing does not show up directly, but only shows up as a passive element that comes into play only when effected by bumps or when it encounters an obstacle during its movement.
  • One of the drawbacks that current automated systems on the market have is the fact that they do not recognise the positions assumed by the wing during its travel, so the control of any counter forces that might present themselves at the ends is insufficient, and indeed to stop the door
  • one of the most common solutions adopted is the use of limit stops that interrupt the power supply to the motors that power the motion.
  • a further drawback of currently available automated systems is due to the fact that following a power cut one or more movements have to be carried out that are not so safe because the positions assumed by the wing during its movement are unknown.
  • Said electronic accelerometer provides continuous analogue and digital signals on the basis of the angular position of said element that incorporates the electrical components that render it an electronic accelerometer.
  • the above-mentioned accelerometer can be the more simple linear type, where the signals emitted (voltage) refer to two Cartesian axes x and y, and whose magnitude for each angular position are equalised to the relative trigonometric sine and cosine values.
  • the element with the accelerometer is put securely on the wing, deciding for example that the x axis is parallel to the plane of the wing and when the wing is closed is in the vertical.
  • the electronic accelerometer assumes its own angular position (which in the case in question is the same as that assumed by the wing) and emits a signal (voltage) that once transduced and processed becomes, together with the other movement parameters, an integral part of the automated control.
  • the normal movement of the wing is regulated as speed by processing the signals emitted by the accelerometer and at the ends of the path the movement is progressively reduced so that in the closing stage the wing stops softly in the support, and in the opening stage the absorption of the current that powers the motors is regulated with a moderate push.
  • the electronic accelerometer (fastened solidly to the wing) senses it as a variation in speed and emits a signal variation that when properly transduced and processed generates a rapid response with the stopping of the movement and with a possible inversion of the movement before an opposition force is established that is greater than a pre-set threshold.
  • the above-described variation corresponds to the derivative of the wing's speed of movement: in the example, such a variation is proportional to the increase (or the diminution) of the variation of the sine of the angle formed by the position of the wing with the fixed part.
  • One advantage of the device is that it can be fixed in a non-parallel position to the wing in such a way as to be able to use the zone of maximum sensitivity which in the case in question is proportional to the sine of the above-mentioned angle.
  • the intervention of the electronic accelerometer that controls the reaction force of the wing during its movement against an obstacle or following a collision it can also not be limited to when said events effect the wing in the normal direction of the plane, but also when the above-mentioned events (collisions and obstacles) effect the wing in a crosswise direction.
  • the device can distinguish the various directions of the collision described above so as to allow the appropriate distinct actions to be undertaken.
  • the signal of the electronic accelerometer following a collision is used as a signal for managing the control device concerned with the collisions or bumps in a way consequent to the movement component observed, considering it a perpendicular or planar bump with respect to the frame that is moving.
  • the device provides the continual verification of the presence of any jamming of the wing.
  • more than one device can be installed with the above-mentioned characteristics, arranging them in areas of the wing considered the most critical, and in such a way that the signal is sensitive to the collisions even when there is, for example, a wing with considerable inertia.
  • the signal received from the electronic accelerometer following a collision of the frame can usefully be combined and/or compared with at least one other signal that has been observed like the signal regarding current absorption, vibration, noise, etc. so as to obtain a quick, precise control, so there are no false alarms.
  • Fig. 1 is a profile drawing of the wing of an up and over door in a closed position with the application of an element characterised by the fact it contains the electronic accelerometer that can emit signals according to its angular position.
  • Fig. 2 outlines the element relative to the electronic accelerometer fixed solidly to the wing, highlighting the signal entity as a projection of the component that experiences gravity g on the reference axis.
  • Fig. 3 is a representation corresponding to Fig. 1 where the wing of the door is in an intermediate position between closed and open and it establishes an angular position with respect to the vertical (different to the value of 0 degrees) which is the same angular position established by the element fixed solidly to it containing the electronic accelerometer.
  • Fig. 4 also shows the element relative to the electronic accelerometer fixed solidly to the wing, showing that the projection of the component that experiences gravity g on the reference axis has changed (in diminution) compared to Fig. 2 .
  • Fig. 5 is a representation corresponding to fig. 1 where the wing of the door is almost in the horizontal position of open and creates an angular position with respect to the vertical (about 90 degrees) which is the same angle established by the element fixed solidly to it containing the electronic accelerometer.
  • Fig. 6 also here outlines the element relative to the electronic accelerometer fixed solidly to the wing, showing that the projection of the component that experiences gravity g on the reference axis has changed (towards 0) compared to Fig. 2 .
  • Element 3 is installed in such a way that when the wing 1 is closed the x axis is parallel to the vertical position of the wing.
  • the signals emitted by the electronic accelerometer relative to the x axis is determined as a function of the projection that the inertial part 4 (symbolically represented with a portion of the rod acting as a pendulum), with respect to gravity "g", effectuates on the x axis during the variation of the angular position assumed by the element 3. Because element 3 is solidly fixed to the wing 1, each signal emitted by the electronic accelerometer corresponding to each of its angular positions precisely identifies the position assumed by the wing while it is moving.
