Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to an electromechanical control device for rototranslating doors.
- More precisely, the invention relates to an electromechanical control device for rototranslating doors of vehicles, such as buses, people carriers and the like.
- Electromechanical control devices for rototranslating doors of passenger vehicles, such as buses and people carriers, are known in the art.
- Such devices are generally equipped with an electric motor, a gear reduction unit for obtaining the desired transmission ratio, and a control unit for controlling the opening and closing of the door by means of a rod and a pair of arms associated with the rod.
- An example of a device of the above kind is disclosed in
ES 2070706 - For safety reasons, it is required that the doors of the above kind can be opened also in case of failure of the control device. For that reason, the control devices presently employed are equipped with a release system disengaging the electric motor from the reduction unit.
- An example of such emergency release systems is disclosed in
EP 1072749 . - Generally, such release systems can be operated by means of a pair of safety handles, one of which is located inside the vehicle and the other outside the vehicle.
- One of the drawbacks of the prior art devices is related with the need to exert a considerable effort in case of emergency, when the device has to be disengaged in order to allow the manual opening of the door.
- This drawback is particularly severe if one considers that it is necessary that the door can be easily opened in case of emergency even by a child or an aged person.
- Another drawback of the prior art is related with the complexity of the solutions adopted until now, which consequently demand frequent maintenance and entail high manufacture costs.
- A further, but not the last, drawback of the prior art devices is related with the need to obtain a sufficient reduction ratio to allow using reduced power motors or, in any case, to avoid overloads on the motor and to lengthen its useful life. Obtaining an adequate reduction ratio entails however providing a gear chain which is the more cumbersome the higher the reduction ratio, and this leads either to the impossibility of obtaining adequate reduction ratios when it is desired to keep the device compact, or to the need to increase the size of the housing of the device.
- The invention aims at solving the drawbacks mentioned above by providing an electromechanical control device for rototranslating doors, which device can be disengaged easily and with a minimum effort and can be industrially manufactured at advantageous costs.
- Advantageously, thanks to the fact that the movable clutch unit comprises a control lever and a tilting plate on which the motor is mounted, which lever and plate are mutually articulated by means of a return arm, and that a resilient element arranged to keep the control lever in the arrangement corresponding to the engaged condition of the motor unit is arranged between the control lever and the device base, in such a way that it is necessary to overcome the resistance of said resilient element to obtain the passage to the disengaged condition, the effort demanded for manually disengaging the motor unit from the clutch unit is reduced with respect to the prior art devices.
- A further advantage of the invention is related with the separate arrangement of the motor and clutch units on the one hand, and the reduction unit on the other hand, with respect to the base plate of the device. More particularly, such an arrangement allows obtaining a further reduction torque between the motor unit and the reduction unit, with the advantage that the size of the gears in the reduction unit can be reduced for a given desired reduction ratio.
- Moreover, thanks to the arrangement of the motor unit and the clutch unit outside the housing of the device, the considerable advantage is obtained that a quick replacement of the pinion of the motor-reducer and of the gear wheel of the reduction unit is possible, with the consequent possibility of easily and economically varying the reduction ratio depending on the intended use of the device and on the motor employed.

Fig. 6 is a sectional side view of the device shown inFig. 1 , in engaged condition. - With reference to the accompanying drawings, the control device according to the invention, which is generally denoted by
reference numeral 11, includes abase plate 13b, amotor unit 15, aclutch unit 17, areduction unit 19 and acontrol unit 21. - The device further includes a
housing 13, substantially made as a parallelepiped box in whichflanks 13a,base plate 13b and aremovable cover 13c for accessing the elements housed within the box are defined.Housing 13 is preferably made of metal, e.g. steel or aluminium. -
Motor unit 15 comprises an electric motor-reducer 23 having adrive pinion 25. - In accordance with the invention,
motor unit 15 is associated with aclutch unit 17 by means of whichpinion 25 can be brought into engagement with or disengaged from a correspondinginput gear wheel 27 ofreduction unit 19. - Always in accordance with the invention, said
motor unit 15 and saidclutch unit 17 are associated withbase plate 13b on the opposite side with respect to the reduction unit and the control unit and to the housing in which the latter two units are preferably housed, and therefore the motor and clutch units can be easily accessed and inspected. -
Reduction unit 19 comprisescascaded gears reducer 23 andcontrol unit 21.Reduction unit 19 is housed withinhousing 13, on the opposite side ofbase 13b with respect toclutch unit 17, which, on the contrary, is preferably housed outside saidhousing 13 and is protected by a suitable casing. -
Control unit 21 includes acontrol shaft 31, integral withgear 29d and having associated therewith agrooved stud 33 of a ball screw or the like, which controls, in conventional manner, the opening and closing of a vehicle door (not shown). - Always in accordance with the invention,
clutch unit 17 comprises acontrol lever 35, areturn arm 37, atilting plate 39 on which motor-reducer 23 is secured, and aresilient element 41. - Said
control lever 35, saidreturn arm 37 and said tiltingplate 39 are so arranged that, when drivepinion 25 is meshing with gear wheel 27 (Figs. 2 and6 ), tiltingplate 39 can be rotated abouthinge pin 43 relative tobase 13b in order to bringpinion 25 into disengaged condition (Fig. 3 ) with a minimum effort. Such an arrangement is achieved sincehinge pins return arm 37, which is approximately rectilinear, are substantially aligned along axis "S" passing throughhinge pin 45 pivotally connectingcontrol lever 35 tobase plate 13b. More precisely, said arrangement is such that, in said engaged condition, hingepin 49 pivotally connectingreturn arm 37 to controllever 35 is slightly offset towards tiltingplate 39 with respect to axis "S". - Said
control lever 35 has afastening zone 51, defined for instance by a pair of corresponding holes for fastening the ends ofrespective control cables 53 associated with respective emergency handles 55 (one of which is shown inFig. 1 ), one of such handles being generally located inside the vehicle and the other outside the vehicle. - In accordance with the invention,
control lever 35 is L-shaped andleg 35a andfoot 35b of the "L" are mutually inclined so as to form an acute angle directed towards tiltingplate 39. Moreover, the upper end ofleg 35a is pivotally connected at 45 tobase 13b and the end offoot 35b is pivotally connected at 49 to returnarm 37. Furthermore, saidfastening zone 51 is formed in correspondence of theportion connecting leg 35a andfoot 35b of the "L", so that saidfastening zone 51 is substantially laterally spaced apart with respect to the other parts of the device, and in particular with respect to returnarm 37, thereby reducing the risks of interference among the moving parts. - In accordance with the invention,
resilient element 41 is aimed at keepingcontrol lever 35 in the position corresponding to the engaged condition ofpinion 25 and is preferably arranged betweencontrol lever 35 andbase plate 13b. More precisely, according to a preferred embodiment, saidresilient element 41 comprises a coil spring or similar device, having a first end fastened tobase 13b at 42 and the opposite end fastened to controllever 35 at 44. Advantageously, saidfastening point 44 provided for fastening one end ofresilient element 41 tocontrol lever 35 is located near or athinge pin 49 pivotally connectingreturn arm 37 to controllever 35. Preferably, saidfastening point 44 coincides withhinge pin 49 or is located at most at a very small distance from said pin, preferably 5 to 10 mm, sufficient to avoid interference betweenreturn arm 37 andresilient element 41 during operation ofcontrol lever 35 and the consequent rotation oftilting plate 39. Moreover, always in accordance with the invention, saidfastening points resilient element 41 are aligned along an axis "T1" that is substantially parallel with axis "T2" passing throughhinge pins plate 39 andcontrol lever 35, respectively, whenpinion 25 is in engaged condition, said axes defining an angle of a few degrees, preferably an angle smaller than 30°, when said pinion is in disengaged condition. - Advantageously, thanks to the association of
motor unit 15 with amovable clutch unit 17 having the described arrangement, it is possible to disengagepinion 25 of motor-reducer 23 fromreduction unit 19 by acting onemergency handles 55 and, consequently, to allow the manual opening of the door, with a minimum effort. - As known, when the door is closed, the locking torque exerted by the motor-reducer in correspondence of
pinion 25 andgear wheel 27 is particularly high and, in any case, is such that the mutual disengagement of saidpinion 25 andgear wheel 27 would require a considerable effort. Notwithstanding this, thanks to the described arrangement,pinion 25 can be easily moved away fromgear wheel 27 by exerting a force sufficient to overcome the resistance ofspring 41 and to bringhinge pin 49 ofreturn arm 37 on the opposite side of axis "S" with respect to the position taken whenpinion 25 is meshing withgear wheel 27. - It is clear that the above description has been given only by way of non limiting example and that changes and modifications to the described embodiment, in particular in respect of shape, size, materials, types of components etc. are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. Further applications, besides those mentioned above, are possible as well.
