Description
- 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.
- For safety purposes, and in particular in order to avoid knocks, crushing or injury to persons or damage to things when it is moving downwards to close, 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. Such a 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. Furthermore, the sensitive edge or the proximity sensors, as preset up to now, 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.
- In the attempt to avoid these drawbacks, safety systems have also been proposed in which an infrared optical barrier, in particular at least one pair of emitting and receiving photoelectric cells, is applied to a door by means of supporting arms susceptible on one side to overturning or to linear movement to the ground when the door reaches the closed lowered position. These systems however are relatively complex and encumbering.
- The documents
US 6 176 039B1 andDE 10 2006 026 698A1 - Another example of such safety devices is disclosed in document
EP 0 284 066 . - 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.
- Said objects and the obvious advantages deriving from them are reached by 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.
- In particular, 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. Thus, the cursor always remains positively guided during their movements without necessitating of levers or other articulated members.
- The invention will be described in greater detail in the continuation making reference to the indicative and not limited attached drawings and to its application on a sectional door. In said drawings:
-
Fig. 1 shows a view of the safety device according to an first realization applied to the inside of a door in a partially open position; -
Fig. 2 shows, enlarged, a side view of a safety device unit in an operating position in the direction of arrows A-A inFig. 1 ; -
Figs. 3 and 4 show, respectively, two side views of the device in an intermediate position and in an idle position; -
Fig. 5 shows a false section of a device unit according to arrows B-B inFig. 2 ; -
Fig. 6 shows a similar view to the one inFig.2 , but of a device unit according to a constructional variation; -
Fig. 7 shows a view of a further constructional variation of the safety device in different positions; and -
Fig. 8 shows a view of the only supporting element for the device inFig. 7 . - In said drawings an example of a
door 10 is indicatively represented which has alower side 10' provided with aseal 110 and which slides, by means of rollers -not shown, inlateral 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 amotor 11 and however in a known way, along theguides 12 between a lowered closed position, in which itslower side 10' is near theunderlying 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 itslower side 10' on a level with the curvilinear section of theguides 12. - The safety device of the invention is applied on the internal front of the
door 10 by itslower side 10'. It comprises two oppositesafety device units 14, distanced in parallel, positioned near the vertical lateral margins of the door. Each of saidunits 14 comprises principally a vertically positioned supportingelement 15 fixed and jutting out of the internal face of the door, and acursor 16 associated with saidsupport 15 and movable in height with regard to the latter and as regards to the lower side of the door. - In particular, the supporting
element 15 is provided, in the direction of its height, withguide slots 17 and, for its part, thecursor 16 is joined by sliding with saidsupport 15. The guide element has two parallel lateral walls 15' and theguide slots 17 are provided in said walls, one each, both with the same course. - According to a mode of realization as shown in
Figs. 2-5 , eachguide slot 17 has a curvilinear course that is like a cam with a concavity facing towards the door. As to thecursor 16, it has an obtuse or acute shaped angle similar to that of theguide slots 17 and is provided at its lower end with apin 18 supportingroller 19. - The
cursor 16 can be made up of two cheeks 20 connected transversally to each other by a pair of horizontalsliding pins 21. In particular the cheeks 20 are respectively on the outside of the walls 15' of the supportingelement 15 and thesliding pins 21 pass through and are both guided into the slots orguide cams 17. - As an alternative, without however departing from the object of the invention, the
cursor 16 can also be arranged and move between the two lateral walls 15' of the supportingelement 15 and itstransversal pins 21 can extend from opposite sides of thecursor 16 until they engage with theguide slots 17. - Furthermore, each
pin 21 can be coupled with theguide slots 17 directly or, if required, by means of an interposed rolling element-not shown. - On board the
cursor 16 of one of the twounits 14 of the device aninfrared 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, anoptical barrier 23 represented by dotted lines inFig. 1 . - In the example represented in
Figs. 2-5 , theinfrared emitter 22 is positioned on an axis with thepin 18 of the supportingroller 19 of thecursor 16 of asafety unit 14; analogically the infrared receiver 22' is positioned on an axis with thepin 18 of the supportingroller 19 of thecursor 16 of the opposed safety unit. As an alternative, both theemitter 22 and the infrared receiver 22' can be supported by abracket 24 fitted on the respective side of thecursor 16 facing towards the door. Infrared emitter andreceiver 22, 22' will then be at a distance from the supportingrollers 19 as shown inFigs. 6 and 7 , therefore forming an optical barrier parallel to thepins 18 of said rollers. - In any case, 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 thedrive motor 11 of the door each time theoptical barrier 23 is interrupted. - The constructional variation of the device shown in
Fig. 6 is different only as regards to the shapes of the cursor and the guide slots in the supportingelement 15, the remaining being the same as described above. In fact, the cursor, here designated bynumber 26, is basically rectilinear and the guide slots, designated bynumber 27 and provided for receiving both the slidingpins 21 of saidcursor 26, each has alower slanting portion 27a followed by an upper vertical portion 27b, thelower portion 27a being slanted so as to move away from the internal surface of thedoor 10 in the direction from the bottom towards the top. - In another variation of the device shown in
Figs. 7 and 8 , thecursor 36 is still rectilinear, but the relativesliding pins 21 are conducted individually, each in aguide slot 37 also having in this case a slopinglower part 37a and a verticaltop part 37b. In other words, the supportingelement 15 of eachunit 14 of the safety device has then a pair ofslots 37 in each of its lateral walls 15' as shown inFig. 8 . - In each of the
opposite units 14 of the safety device, thecursor guide slots - In fact, as soon as the door is in a raised position from the
floor 13 below, thecursors 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. In this position -Figs. 2 ,6 and 7 - their lower end supporting the infrared emitter andreceiver 22, 22' that define theoptical barrier 23, position themselves below thebottom side 10' provided withgasket 110 of the door in the plane of movement of the latter and for all its opening and closing stroke. So, if theoptical 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. - When on the other hand the
door 10 is near its lowered closed position-Fig. 3 - therollers 18 of the twounits 14 of the device rest on the floor causing thecursors respective guide slots gasket 110 of the door until the latter is fully closed-Fig. 4 . - Practically, 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 theguides 12 up to the closed position on thefloor 13. Then, from the moment theoptical 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. - The safety device described above can also be provided with some detailed changes without however moving away from the objective of the invention. For example, each
cursor
