Definitions

  • This invention concerns in general vertical sliding closing systems such as sectional doors, rolling shutters, roller blinds and the like, and refers in particular to a safety device with sensors without contact for such closing systems.
  • the type of doors named above usually move on guides tracks and for their vertical movement between opening and closing positions they can be controlled by an electric gear reduction motor which can be activated by a remote control or by other means, such as a proximity sensor, key controlled devices, push buttons and the like.
  • each of said doors is usually equipped along its bottom horizontal margin with a safety system able to detect the presence of bodies or obstacles on the movement path and therefore cause the door to automatically stop.
  • a safety system can comprise devices such as a so-called sensitive edge, infrared or similar optical barriers which, however, activate and intervene to stop the door only when the latter physically encounters an obstacle, a situation that can be dangerous and damaging should the obstacle be a child, an animal or something fragile and delicate, because of the pressure they are subjected to by the door before the latter stops.
  • the sensitive edge or the proximity sensors can be inefficient when the bottom edge of the door is not in the vertical sliding surface and therefore is not exactly perpendicular to the obstacle as may happen, for example, with a vehicle which being high may interfere with the lower margin of the door in movement when the latter, when beginning to move from the opening to the closed position, is still following the curvilinear tract.
  • the documents US 6 176 039B1 and DE 10 2006 026 698A1 are indicative of the state of the technique.
  • the first of these documents reveals a safety device in which infrared photocells are carried by a system of parallelogram levers that also needs a return spring.
  • the second document reveals a safety device wherein infrared photocells are carried by a system of levers oscillating between two positions, but the application of which to a door disadvantageously implies the removal of a part of the gasket positioned on the bottom side of the door itself.
  • the main object of this invention is to propose safety device without contact vertically sliding doors, which is particularly simple, efficient and reliable, and able to place itself in a working position by means of its own gravity and to retract in a defiladed position compared to the door by means of a basically vertical composite movement, when the door reaches a closed position.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a safety device for the abovementioned type of doors and able to place itself perfectly in the sliding surface of the door, at the base of the latter, and to detect obstacles at any level within the range of the closing travel of the door and cause it to stop automatically should any obstacle be detected.
  • a safety device without contact according to the preamble of claim 1 and wherein the sensor means suitable to define at least an optical barrier are on board parallel cursors each belonging to one of two safety units, and these cursors are each susceptible to horizontal and vertical translation movements combined to position the optical barrier in parallel below the lower side and within the plane of the door during the movements of the latter between the opening and closing positions, and in parallel at a distance from the internal face of the door when the door is in the lowered closed position and the cursors are in contact with the ground.
  • the supporting element is formed of two parallel vertical wall each of which provided with a slot cam and the cursor extends outside or inside of the said lateral walls of said supporting element and has a pair of sliding pins passing through said slot cams.
  • the cursor always remains positively guided during their movements without necessitating of levers or other articulated members.
  • a door 10 which has a lower side 10' provided with a seal 110 and which slides, by means of rollers -not shown, in lateral guides 12 each having an almost vertical rectilinear segment followed at the top by a curvilinear section that connects with an upper horizontal segment.
  • the door 10 is moveable, by means of a motor 11 and however in a known way, along the guides 12 between a lowered closed position, in which its lower side 10' is near the underlying floor 13, and a raised complete opening position, in which it is positioned almost horizontally between the upper segments of the lateral guides and with its lower side 10' on a level with the curvilinear section of the guides 12.
  • the safety device of the invention is applied on the internal front of the door 10 by its lower side 10'. It comprises two opposite safety device units 14, distanced in parallel, positioned near the vertical lateral margins of the door. Each of said units 14 comprises principally a vertically positioned supporting element 15 fixed and jutting out of the internal face of the door, and a cursor 16 associated with said support 15 and movable in height with regard to the latter and as regards to the lower side of the door.
  • the supporting element 15 is provided, in the direction of its height, with guide slots 17 and, for its part, the cursor 16 is joined by sliding with said support 15.
  • the guide element has two parallel lateral walls 15' and the guide slots 17 are provided in said walls, one each, both with the same course.
  • each guide slot 17 has a curvilinear course that is like a cam with a concavity facing towards the door.
  • the cursor 16 it has an obtuse or acute shaped angle similar to that of the guide slots 17 and is provided at its lower end with a pin 18 supporting roller 19.
  • the cursor 16 can be made up of two cheeks 20 connected transversally to each other by a pair of horizontal sliding pins 21.
  • the cheeks 20 are respectively on the outside of the walls 15' of the supporting element 15 and the sliding pins 21 pass through and are both guided into the slots or guide cams 17.
  • the cursor 16 can also be arranged and move between the two lateral walls 15' of the supporting element 15 and its transversal pins 21 can extend from opposite sides of the cursor 16 until they engage with the guide slots 17.
  • each pin 21 can be coupled with the guide slots 17 directly or, if required, by means of an interposed rolling element-not shown.
  • an infrared emitter 22 is placed in line with an infrared receiver 22' placed on board the cursor of the opposed unit so as to define between the two units, an optical barrier 23 represented by dotted lines in Fig. 1 .
  • the infrared emitter 22 is positioned on an axis with the pin 18 of the supporting roller 19 of the cursor 16 of a safety unit 14; analogically the infrared receiver 22' is positioned on an axis with the pin 18 of the supporting roller 19 of the cursor 16 of the opposed safety unit.
  • both the emitter 22 and the infrared receiver 22' can be supported by a bracket 24 fitted on the respective side of the cursor 16 facing towards the door. Infrared emitter and receiver 22, 22' will then be at a distance from the supporting rollers 19 as shown in Figs. 6 and 7 , therefore forming an optical barrier parallel to the pins 18 of said rollers.
  • the infrared emitter and receiver 22, 22' will be conveniently fed and connected to an electronic circuit so as to send a stop signal to the drive motor 11 of the door each time the optical barrier 23 is interrupted.
  • the cursor here designated by number 26
  • the guide slots designated by number 27 and provided for receiving both the sliding pins 21 of said cursor 26, each has a lower slanting portion 27a followed by an upper vertical portion 27b, the lower portion 27a being slanted so as to move away from the internal surface of the door 10 in the direction from the bottom towards the top.
  • the cursor 36 is still rectilinear, but the relative sliding pins 21 are conducted individually, each in a guide slot 37 also having in this case a sloping lower part 37a and a vertical top part 37b.
  • the supporting element 15 of each unit 14 of the safety device has then a pair of slots 37 in each of its lateral walls 15' as shown in Fig. 8 .
  • the cursor 16, 26, 36 is compelled to follow the shape of the guide slots 17, 27, 37 and to follow a combined horizontal and vertical translation movement at the same time depending on the position of the door.
  • the cursors 16, 26, 36 of the two units 14 move, and remain, in a lowered position due to its own gravity or possibly, but not necessarily, with the help of a spring-not shown.
  • this position - Figs. 2 , 6 and 7 - their lower end supporting the infrared emitter and receiver 22, 22' that define the optical barrier 23, position themselves below the bottom side 10' provided with gasket 110 of the door in the plane of movement of the latter and for all its opening and closing stroke. So, if the optical barrier 23 is intercepted and for whatever reason interrupted, for example by a body or obstacle in the path of the door, the latter is automatically and rapidly stopped.
  • the safety device is always active at every level the lower side 10' of the door finds itself, at starting from the maximum open position in which its lower side is at the height of the curved section of the guides 12 up to the closed position on the floor 13. Then, from the moment the optical barrier 23 is found to be between the two units of the device and is below the lower side of the door, each time a body or an obstacle interferes with said barrier, the door automatically stops beforehand and furthermore, without its lower side having to rest against the body or obstacle.
  • each cursor 16, 26, 36 can be provided with means to define not a single but double optical barriers on parallel planes either at the same level or on different levels.
