Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling the movements of doors, gates, and the like.
  • the invention in particular applies to the sector where doors and gates are moved in an automatic manner.
  • a control unit carries out adjustment of operation of the movement member, both in terms of travel or movement stroke and in terms of speed.
  • a solution that is typically utilised for observance of the rules and therefore for restricting damages in case of accidental impacts consists in use of pneumatic ribs mounted along the leaf profile; these pneumatic ribs are able to at least partly absorb, by deformation, the energy generated during the impact and can give rise to a notification signal directed to the control unit in order that movement of the door or gate be immediately stopped.
  • the present invention aims at making available an apparatus for controlling the movement of doors, gates and the like that can be easily installed and has a structure of simple manufacture.
  • the invention aims at making available an apparatus capable of defining the speed profiles for movement of the door leaf in a simple and reliable manner.
  • Another aim of the invention is to provide an apparatus that can be easily adapted for correct operation even on leaves of sizes and weight different from each other.
  • an apparatus for controlling the movement of doors, gates and the like in accordance with the present invention has been generally identified by reference numeral 1.
  • Apparatus 1 can be applied to any type of automatic door or gate, in which at least one leaf is moved between a closed position and an open position.
  • This leaf can be a sliding leaf, swing leaf or tilting leaf.
  • Fig. 1a shows a gate with a sliding leaf
  • Fig. 1b shows a gate with swing leaves.
  • Apparatus 1 first of all comprises a movement member 10 to move at least one leaf 20 of a door or gate.
  • the movement member 10 can be a reduction motor, a direct or alternating current motor, a brush motor or an induction motor.
  • the movement member 10 is adjusted through a high-frequency PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control, so that the produced acoustic noise and disturbances in the supply mains are minimised.
  • PWM Pulse Width Modulation
  • the movement member 10 is interlocked with a control unit 30, operatively associated with the movement member for adjusting operation of same.
  • the control unit 30 is provided with a reception module 31 for receiving a main signal 100 representative at least of the weight P of leaf 20; this information will be used, as better clarified in the following, for adjusting movement of said leaf 20.
  • the control unit 30 further comprises a calculation module 32 to determine at least one movement speed V of leaf 20, as a function of the main signal 100.
  • the movement speed V is determined by the calculation module 32 in such a manner that this speed V is lower than a predetermined safety threshold; in fact, for safety reasons, the force transmitted by leaf 20 to an obstacle, on occurrence of a possible impact during movement of the leaf 20 itself, is required to be smaller than a predetermined value.
  • Fig. 3 shown in Fig. 3 is a typical graph representing the safety requirements that must be observed by apparatus 1 and the leaf 20 moved thereby.
  • the force generated by movement of the leaf is divided into two lengths that are consecutive in time.
  • the first length of a duration of 0.75 seconds, relates to the maximum dynamic force that can be generated at the impact.
  • the second length of a duration of about 4 seconds, relates to the static crushing force.
  • the control unit 30 further comprises an operating module 33, operatively associated with the calculation module 32 to generate a command signal 110, intended for the movement member 10 for movement of leaf 20 to the movement speed V established by the calculation module 32.
  • the movement speed V of leaf 20 be determined also as a function of a size D of this leaf.
  • this size D can be the size perpendicular to the direction of the rotational axis of the leaf itself.
  • the reception module 31 is provided to also receive an auxiliary signal 120 representative of said size D of leaf 20, and the calculation module 32 determines the movement speed V also as a function of the auxiliary signal 120.
  • a data admitting device 50 can be provided which is adapted to enable an operator to enter at least the weight P of leaf 20.
  • the data admitting device 50 is therefore adapted to generate the main signal 100 and preferably also the auxiliary signal 120 and to transmit this/these signal/s to the reception module 31.
  • At least the leaf weight P can be determined in an automatic manner.
  • apparatus 1 can be provided with a first sensor 40 associated with leaf 20 to detect the weight P of same and generate the main signal 100.
  • the operator at least need not carry out the step of manually entering the weight P of leaf 20; this option is particularly advantageous when the leaf weight P is not known a priori and it is not possible to determine it in a quick and simple manner.
  • the calculation module 32 establishes a plurality of movement speeds V that must be taken by the leaf along its movement trajectory.
  • the calculation module 32 by co-operating with the operating module 33 does not make leaf 20 move at a constant speed along its trajectory but enables it to vary said speed as a function of the position taken.
  • Calculation of the varying profile of the speed can be advantageously carried out only once, before leaf 20 is moved, and can then be stored into a suitable memory (not shown).
  • apparatus 1 further comprises a second sensor 60 associated with the movement member 10 to detect the operating position of the latter during movement of leaf 20 and generate a corresponding secondary signal 130 representative of this operating position.
  • the second sensor 60 detects the operating position of the movement member 10 so that said position can be considered as representative of the position of leaf 20 along the trajectory thereof and therefore a control in real time of the true movement of leaf 20 can be carried out.
  • the movement member 10 can be a reduction motor or a motor, typically provided with an output shaft drivable in rotation depending on the received feeding.
  • the second sensor 60 can be an encoder, operatively associated with this reduction motor or motor 10 and designed to detect, at each instant, the angular position of the respective output shaft.
  • the secondary signal 130 incorporating the operating position of the movement member 10, is sent to the reception module 31 of the control unit 30, so that the calculation module 32 can determine the movement speed V of leaf 10 also as a function of said secondary signal 130.
  • apparatus 1 further comprises one or more pairs of auxiliary detectors 70, preferably consisting of photoelectric cells, such positioned as to detect the possible presence of obstacles in the vicinity of the trajectory of leaf 20.
  • a pair of mechanical stops 80 can be added; they too are positioned at the ends of the trajectory of leaf 20 so as to ensure that leaf 20, at all events, will not move beyond the positions defined by said stops 80 even in case of faults or malfunctions of the electronic control system.
  • apparatus 1 can be also advantageously used for controlling movement of more than one leaf, the control technique described above being applied to each of said leaves.
  • the invention achieves important advantages.
  • the apparatus in accordance with the invention can be easily installed and has a structure of simple manufacture.
  • the apparatus enables the speed profiles for movement of the leaf to be defined in a simple and reliable manner.
