Definitions
- the invention relates to a hoist mechanism for a vertically movable door, which hoist mechanism has at least one reel for a flexible suspension member, such as a hoist wire, an axis, around which the reel is fitted, a motor for rotating the axis and a slack switch for halting the motor when the tension of the hoist wire decreases.
- the invention also relates to a vertically movable door, which is equipped with a hoist mechanism according to the invention.
- Vertically movable doors of fabric are generally used as partitions in manufacturing spaces, and as doors of passages in halls and facilities.
- Vertically movable doors of fabric with two fabrics have an inner and an outer fabric, between which there are transverse horizontal reinforcements.
- edge rails which guide the linear movement of the horizontal reinforcements and the lower beam.
- the vertically movable door is opened by lifting the lower beam upwards with the aid of the hoist mechanism, whereby the horizontal reinforcements are gathered on the lower beam and the inner and outer fabrics are folded on different sides of the lower beam.
- the vertically movable door is correspondingly closed by lowering the lower beam suspended on the hoist lines or wires against the lower edge of the opening or the floor of the space.
- Vertically movable doors of fabric are typically large.
- the width and height of a vertically movable door functioning for example as a partition in an industrial hall or as the door of an aircraft hangar can be several, even tens of meters.
- Large vertically movable doors are heavy, wherefore special attention needs to be paid to the operational reliability and the use safety of the hoist mechanism of the doors.
- Vertically movable doors of fabric are thus equipped with a safety locking mechanism, which prevents uncontrolled falling of the door, for example due to the breaking of the hoist lines or wires.
- the motor of the hoist mechanism of the vertically movable door can be equipped with an emergency halt mechanism, which is activated in connection with a malfunction of the hoist mechanism, such as the breaking or slackening of a hoist wire.
- a vertically movable door is known from reference publication US 4368770 , the hoist mechanism of which comprises a reel placed in the centre of the upper edge of the door, onto which reel two hoist wires have been reeled.
- the hoist wires pass by the upper corners of the door to the edges of the door and are attached to the lower beam of the door.
- a slack switch touching the hoist wire, which halts the motor of the hoist mechanism when the tension of the hoist wire decreases.
- the structure of the slack switch has not been described in more detail in the reference publication.
- the hoist mechanism of the vertically movable door has at least one reel for a flexible suspension member, such as for a hoist wire.
- the reel is fitted around the axis to be rotated with the motor.
- the hoist mechanism further contains a slack switch for halting the motor when the tension of the hoist wire decreases.
- the slack switch is arranged in connection with the reel, and it has an element, which is fitted to rest itself against the hoist wire unravelling from the reel and to alter its line of travel.
- the hoist wire directs a force component onto the element resting itself thereagainst, which force component holds the slack switch in a first position as long as the tension of the hoist wire exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
- the motor of the hoist mechanism functions normally.
- the tension of the hoist wire falls below the predetermined threshold value, for example as a result of the hoist wire breaking or detaching
- the slack switch moves into a second position, which switches off the function of the motor:
- the slack switch is arranged to move from the first position into the second position by rotating around a pivot pin. The rotation of the slack switch occurs by means of gravity, when the potential energy stored in the slack switch is released.
- the slack switch comprises a first and a second support arm, which are attached at their first end in a pivoted manner to the structures of the vertically movable door.
- the element resting itself against the hoist wire is a rod, which is attached at its ends to the ends of the support arms, and the suspension member is fitted to travel between the support arms over the rod.
- Another advantageous embodiment of the hoist mechanism according to the invention further comprises a micro switch, which has a detecting member for detecting the position of the slack switch.
- Said detecting member is advantageously a detecting rod extending beneath the first support arm, which detecting rod activates the micro switch.
- the vertically movable door has a door plate, in the bottom edge of which there is a lower beam.
- the vertically movable door has a hoist mechanism, which has at least one reel for a flexible suspension member, such as a hoist wire.
- the suspension member is attached at its first end to the reel and at its second end to the lower beam of the vertically movable door.
- the hoist mechanism further includes an axis, around which the reel is fitted, and a motor for rotating the axis. Rotating the axis in a first rotation direction makes the suspension members reel onto the reels, whereby the lower beam attached to the suspension member rises upwards and the vertically movable door opens.
- the hoist mechanism further contains a slack switch for halting the motor when the tension of the hoist wire decreases.
- the slack switch is arranged in connection with the reel, and it has an element, which is fitted to rest itself against the suspension member unravelling from the reel and to alter its line of travel.
- the tight suspension member directs a force component onto the element resting itself thereagainst, which force component holds the slack switch in a first position as long as the tension of the suspension member exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
- the motor of the hoist mechanism functions normally.
- the tension of the suspension member falls below the predetermined threshold value, for example as a result of the suspension member breaking or detaching
- the slack switch moves into a second position, which switches off the function of the motor:
- Said slack switch is arranged to move from the first position into the second position by rotating around a pivot pin. The rotating of the slack switch is arranged to occur due to the gravitational force of the slack switch.
- said slack switch comprises a first and a second support arm, which are attached at their first end in a pivoted manner to the structures of the vertically movable door.
- the element is a rod, which is attached at its ends to the ends of the support arms, and the suspension member is fitted to travel from the reel between the support arms over the rod to the lower beam.
- the hoist mechanism comprises several reels fitted around the axis, and a slack switch of its own has been arranged in connection with each reel.
- the vertically movable door in another advantageous embodiment of the vertically movable door according to the invention it is a vertically movable door of fabric, advantageously a vertically movable door of fabric with two fabrics, which folds upwards.
- the slack switch which halts the motor of the hoist mechanism, functions without an external power source by means of gravity, which ensures its reliable operation.
- FIG. 1 shows as an example a vertically movable door according to the invention seen from the front.
- the vertically movable door shown in Figure 1 is a so-called vertically movable door of fabric with two fabrics, which folds upwards, which has a rectangular flexible door plate 10.
- the door plate 10 comprises two substantially parallel surface fabrics at a distance from each other, a first surface fabric 12 and a second surface fabric 14, and a number of horizontal reinforcements 16 between the first 12 and second 14 surface fabrics.
- the horizontal reinforcements 16 are beam-like parts preferably of aluminium, which are situated in a horizontal position at a distance from each other.
- the surface fabrics 12, 14 are polyester web reinforced PVC fabric or some other sufficiently durable fabric material suited for the purpose.
- the surface fabrics 12, 14 are advantageously protected from fire, mould and UV light.
- the hoist mechanism includes an axis, which is substantially as long as the width of the door plate, around which axis there are reels, and a motor 22 for rotating the axis (the axis and the reels are not shown in the figure).
- Each reel has a hoist wire 28, which is attached at its second end to the lower beam 18.
- the operation of the hoist mechanism is controlled with a control centre 24, which is placed beside the vertically movable door on the wall of the space.
- side rails 26a, 26b which guide the ends of the lower beam 18 and the horizontal reinforcements 16 to move in the direction of the side rails 26a, 26b.
- Figure 2a shows as an example the hoist mechanism of a vertically movable door according to the invention seen as a perspective view.
- Figure 2b shows the hoist mechanism of Figure 2a seen from the side, from the direction of the end of the axis 30.
- the hoist mechanism comprises an axis 30, around which cylindrical reels 32 have been fitted.
- the reels 32 are attached to the axis 30 in a fixed manner, so that the rotation of the axis 30 generates rotation of the reels 32.
- the axis 30 is rotated with the motor included in the hoist mechanism (the motor is not shown in the figure).
- the number of the reels 32 depends on the width of the vertically movable door. In narrow vertically movable doors two reels 32 are enough, one in each edge of the vertically movable door. Wider vertically movable doors need to be equipped with several reels 32. There can thus be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or more than eight reels 32, depending on the width of the door.
- the first end of the hoist wire 28 is attached to the reel 32 and the second end of the hoist wire 28 is attached to the lower beam 18 of the vertically movable door ( Figure 1 ).
- the weight of the lower beam 18 generates a load on the hoist wire 28, which keeps the hoist wire 28 tight.
- Rotating the axis 30 in a first rotation direction makes the hoist wire 28 reel onto the reels 32, whereby the lower beam 18 attached to the hoist wire 28 rises upwards and the vertically movable door opens.
- Correspondingly rotating the axis 30 in the second rotation direction makes the hoist wire 28 unravel from the reels 32, whereby the lower beam 18 descends downwards by means of gravity and the vertically movable door closes.
- the axis 30 is suspended from the upper casing 20 by means of support members 34.
- the upper casing 20 is a C profile made of metal, in the free edges of the flanges of which there are edges 42 pointing towards each other.
- the upper casing 20 of a functional vertically movable door is, when attached to the upper edge of the door opening or the ceiling of the installation space of the vertically movable door, in the position according to Figure 2a , where the gap remaining between the edges 42 of the upper casing 20 points downwards.
- the support members 34 have a plate-like upper support 36 and a lower support 38, which is substantially the same shape as the upper support 38.
- the upper support 38 and the lower support 36 are attached to each other on top of each other with attaching bolts 40, so that the edges 42 of the upper casing 20 are pressed between the upper 38 and lower 36 supports ( Figure 2b ).
- a bearing housing 44 In the second surface of the lower support 36, which surface points downwards in Figure 2a , there is a bearing housing 44, in the centre of which there is a bearing 46.
- the bearing 46 can be a sliding, ball or roller bearing. In the centre of the bearing 46 there is a hole, through which the axis 30 passes.
- the number of support members 34 depends on the length of the axis 30, the number of the reels 32 and the load of the hoist wires 28. There are advantageously two support members 34 for each reel 32, whereby the support members 34 are placed on both sides of the reel at a distance from the reel.
- a slack switch has been arranged in connection with each reel 32, for monitoring the tightness of the hoist wire 28.
- the slack switch has a first support arm 50a, which is placed beside the first end of the reel 32, and a second support arm 50b, which is placed beside the second end of the reel 32.
- the first ends of the support arms 50a, 50b are attached with a pivot pin 54 ( Figure 2b ) to attaching protrusions 56, which are attached to the flange of the upper casing 20.
- the pivot pin 54 is located on the first side of the axis 30 at a distance from the axis 30, when seen from the end of the axis 30 ( Figure 2b ).
- the second ends of the support arms 50a, 50b are connected to each other with a rod 52, which is substantially parallel to the axis 30.
- the hoist wire 28 unravelling from the periphery of the reel 32 travels between the support arms 50a, 50b over the rod 52 to the lower beam 18.
- the own weight of the lower beam 18 generates a load on the hoist wires 28, wherefore the hoist wire 28 strives to find its way to the vertical line passing by the periphery of the reel 32 and the lower beam 18.
- the rod 52 attached to the second ends of the support arms 50a, 50b settles below the reel, at a distance in the sideward direction from the vertical line passing by the periphery of the reel 32 and the lower beam 18 of the vertically movable door.
- the tight hoist wire 18, loaded by the own weight of the lower beam 18, turns over the rod 52 and touches its surface, i.e. the rod 52 alters the line of travel of the hoist wire 28, generating a curve in it.
- This curve generated in the hoist wire 28 is however rather small, so it does not cause significant friction, which would increase the tension force of the hoist wire 28 or increase the burden on the motor of the hoist mechanism.
- a horizontal force component is directed from the tight hoist wire 28 onto the rod 52 resting against it. This force component forces the rod 52 to move to the other side of the axis 30 when seen from the end of the axis 30, which makes the support arms 50a, 50b rotate clockwise around the pivot pins 54.
- the hoist mechanism further includes a micro switch 60, which has a detecting rod 62 extending beneath the first support arm 50a.
- a micro switch 60 which has a detecting rod 62 extending beneath the first support arm 50a.

Description
- The invention relates to a hoist mechanism for a vertically movable door, which hoist mechanism has at least one reel for a flexible suspension member, such as a hoist wire, an axis, around which the reel is fitted, a motor for rotating the axis and a slack switch for halting the motor when the tension of the hoist wire decreases. The invention also relates to a vertically movable door, which is equipped with a hoist mechanism according to the invention.
- Vertically movable doors of fabric are generally used as partitions in manufacturing spaces, and as doors of passages in halls and facilities. Vertically movable doors of fabric with two fabrics have an inner and an outer fabric, between which there are transverse horizontal reinforcements. In the upper edge of the vertically movable door there is an upper casing, wherein the hoist mechanism of the door and the motor belonging thereto are placed. In the lower edge of the vertically movable door there is a lower beam, which is connected to the hoist mechanism with at least two hoist lines or wires travelling between the inner and outer fabric. In the vertical edges of the vertically movable door there are edge rails, which guide the linear movement of the horizontal reinforcements and the lower beam. The vertically movable door is opened by lifting the lower beam upwards with the aid of the hoist mechanism, whereby the horizontal reinforcements are gathered on the lower beam and the inner and outer fabrics are folded on different sides of the lower beam. The vertically movable door is correspondingly closed by lowering the lower beam suspended on the hoist lines or wires against the lower edge of the opening or the floor of the space.
- Vertically movable doors of fabric are typically large. The width and height of a vertically movable door functioning for example as a partition in an industrial hall or as the door of an aircraft hangar can be several, even tens of meters. Large vertically movable doors are heavy, wherefore special attention needs to be paid to the operational reliability and the use safety of the hoist mechanism of the doors. Vertically movable doors of fabric are thus equipped with a safety locking mechanism, which prevents uncontrolled falling of the door, for example due to the breaking of the hoist lines or wires. In addition to the safety locking, the motor of the hoist mechanism of the vertically movable door can be equipped with an emergency halt mechanism, which is activated in connection with a malfunction of the hoist mechanism, such as the breaking or slackening of a hoist wire.
- A vertically movable door is known from reference publication
US 4368770 , the hoist mechanism of which comprises a reel placed in the centre of the upper edge of the door, onto which reel two hoist wires have been reeled. The hoist wires pass by the upper corners of the door to the edges of the door and are attached to the lower beam of the door. In the upper corners of the door there is a slack switch touching the hoist wire, which halts the motor of the hoist mechanism when the tension of the hoist wire decreases. The structure of the slack switch has not been described in more detail in the reference publication. - Documents
US 2002/184824 A1 andWO 2008/048561 A2 disclose hoist mechanisms of a vertically movable door. - It is an object of the invention to provide a hoist mechanism for a vertically movable door, where the emergency halt of the hoist mechanism is realized in a safe and simple manner.
- The objects of the invention are obtained with a hoist mechanism and a vertically movable door according to the independent claims 1 and 5. Some advantageous embodiments of the invention are presented in the dependent claims.
- The hoist mechanism of the vertically movable door according to the invention has at least one reel for a flexible suspension member, such as for a hoist wire. The reel is fitted around the axis to be rotated with the motor. The hoist mechanism further contains a slack switch for halting the motor when the tension of the hoist wire decreases. In the invention the slack switch is arranged in connection with the reel, and it has an element, which is fitted to rest itself against the hoist wire unravelling from the reel and to alter its line of travel. The hoist wire directs a force component onto the element resting itself thereagainst, which force component holds the slack switch in a first position as long as the tension of the hoist wire exceeds a predetermined threshold value. When the slack switch is in the first position, the motor of the hoist mechanism functions normally. When the tension of the hoist wire falls below the predetermined threshold value, for example as a result of the hoist wire breaking or detaching, the slack switch moves into a second position, which switches off the function of the motor: The slack switch is arranged to move from the first position into the second position by rotating around a pivot pin. The rotation of the slack switch occurs by means of gravity, when the potential energy stored in the slack switch is released.
- In an advantageous embodiment of the hoist mechanism according to the invention the slack switch comprises a first and a second support arm, which are attached at their first end in a pivoted manner to the structures of the vertically movable door. The element resting itself against the hoist wire is a rod, which is attached at its ends to the ends of the support arms, and the suspension member is fitted to travel between the support arms over the rod.
- >
- Another advantageous embodiment of the hoist mechanism according to the invention further comprises a micro switch, which has a detecting member for detecting the position of the slack switch. Said detecting member is advantageously a detecting rod extending beneath the first support arm, which detecting rod activates the micro switch.
- The vertically movable door according to the invention has a door plate, in the bottom edge of which there is a lower beam. The vertically movable door has a hoist mechanism, which has at least one reel for a flexible suspension member, such as a hoist wire. The suspension member is attached at its first end to the reel and at its second end to the lower beam of the vertically movable door. The hoist mechanism further includes an axis, around which the reel is fitted, and a motor for rotating the axis. Rotating the axis in a first rotation direction makes the suspension members reel onto the reels, whereby the lower beam attached to the suspension member rises upwards and the vertically movable door opens. Correspondingly rotating the axis in the second rotation direction makes the suspension members unravel from the reels, whereby the lower beam descends downwards by means of gravity and the vertically movable door closes. The hoist mechanism further contains a slack switch for halting the motor when the tension of the hoist wire decreases. In the vertically movable door according to the invention the slack switch is arranged in connection with the reel, and it has an element, which is fitted to rest itself against the suspension member unravelling from the reel and to alter its line of travel. The tight suspension member directs a force component onto the element resting itself thereagainst, which force component holds the slack switch in a first position as long as the tension of the suspension member exceeds a predetermined threshold value. When the slack switch is in the first position, the motor of the hoist mechanism functions normally. When the tension of the suspension member falls below the predetermined threshold value, for example as a result of the suspension member breaking or detaching, the slack switch moves into a second position, which switches off the function of the motor: Said slack switch is arranged to move from the first position into the second position by rotating around a pivot pin. The rotating of the slack switch is arranged to occur due to the gravitational force of the slack switch.
- In an advantageous embodiment of the vertically movable door according to the invention, said slack switch comprises a first and a second support arm, which are attached at their first end in a pivoted manner to the structures of the vertically movable door. The element is a rod, which is attached at its ends to the ends of the support arms, and the suspension member is fitted to travel from the reel between the support arms over the rod to the lower beam.
- >
- In another advantageous embodiment of the vertically movable door according to the invention the hoist mechanism comprises several reels fitted around the axis, and a slack switch of its own has been arranged in connection with each reel.
- In another advantageous embodiment of the vertically movable door according to the invention it is a vertically movable door of fabric, advantageously a vertically movable door of fabric with two fabrics, which folds upwards.
- It is an advantage of the hoist mechanism according to the invention that it is structurally simple and functionally reliable. The slack switch, which halts the motor of the hoist mechanism, functions without an external power source by means of gravity, which ensures its reliable operation.
- It is a further advantage of the invention that its manufacturing costs are low.
- In the following, the invention will be described in detail. In the description, reference is made to the appended drawings, in which
-
Figure 1 shows as an example a vertically movable door according to the invention seen from the front, -
Figure 2a shows as an example a hoist mechanism of a vertically movable door according to the invention seen as a perspective view and -
Figure 2b shows the hoist mechanism ofFigure 2a seen from the side. -
Figure 1 shows as an example a vertically movable door according to the invention seen from the front. The vertically movable door shown inFigure 1 is a so-called vertically movable door of fabric with two fabrics, which folds upwards, which has a rectangularflexible door plate 10. Thedoor plate 10 comprises two substantially parallel surface fabrics at a distance from each other, afirst surface fabric 12 and asecond surface fabric 14, and a number ofhorizontal reinforcements 16 between the first 12 and second 14 surface fabrics. Thehorizontal reinforcements 16 are beam-like parts preferably of aluminium, which are situated in a horizontal position at a distance from each other. Thesurface fabrics surface fabrics door plate 10 there is a case-likelower beam 18 and in the upper edge of thedoor plate 10 there is anupper casing 20, in connection with which the hoist mechanism of thedoor plate 10 is placed. The hoist mechanism includes an axis, which is substantially as long as the width of the door plate, around which axis there are reels, and amotor 22 for rotating the axis (the axis and the reels are not shown in the figure). Each reel has a hoistwire 28, which is attached at its second end to thelower beam 18. The operation of the hoist mechanism is controlled with acontrol centre 24, which is placed beside the vertically movable door on the wall of the space. In the vertical edges of the vertically movable door there areside rails lower beam 18 and thehorizontal reinforcements 16 to move in the direction of theside rails -
Figure 2a shows as an example the hoist mechanism of a vertically movable door according to the invention seen as a perspective view. In order to better bring out the structure of the hoist mechanism, the wall of theupper casing 20 of the vertically movable door has partially been removed.Figure 2b shows the hoist mechanism ofFigure 2a seen from the side, from the direction of the end of theaxis 30. - The hoist mechanism comprises an
axis 30, around whichcylindrical reels 32 have been fitted. Thereels 32 are attached to theaxis 30 in a fixed manner, so that the rotation of theaxis 30 generates rotation of thereels 32. Theaxis 30 is rotated with the motor included in the hoist mechanism (the motor is not shown in the figure). The number of thereels 32 depends on the width of the vertically movable door. In narrow vertically movable doors tworeels 32 are enough, one in each edge of the vertically movable door. Wider vertically movable doors need to be equipped withseveral reels 32. There can thus be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or more than eightreels 32, depending on the width of the door. The first end of the hoistwire 28 is attached to thereel 32 and the second end of the hoistwire 28 is attached to thelower beam 18 of the vertically movable door (Figure 1 ). The weight of thelower beam 18 generates a load on the hoistwire 28, which keeps the hoistwire 28 tight. Rotating theaxis 30 in a first rotation direction makes the hoistwire 28 reel onto thereels 32, whereby thelower beam 18 attached to the hoistwire 28 rises upwards and the vertically movable door opens. Correspondingly rotating theaxis 30 in the second rotation direction makes the hoistwire 28 unravel from thereels 32, whereby thelower beam 18 descends downwards by means of gravity and the vertically movable door closes. - The
axis 30 is suspended from theupper casing 20 by means ofsupport members 34. Theupper casing 20 is a C profile made of metal, in the free edges of the flanges of which there areedges 42 pointing towards each other. Theupper casing 20 of a functional vertically movable door is, when attached to the upper edge of the door opening or the ceiling of the installation space of the vertically movable door, in the position according toFigure 2a , where the gap remaining between theedges 42 of theupper casing 20 points downwards. Thesupport members 34 have a plate-likeupper support 36 and alower support 38, which is substantially the same shape as theupper support 38. Theupper support 38 and thelower support 36 are attached to each other on top of each other with attachingbolts 40, so that theedges 42 of theupper casing 20 are pressed between the upper 38 and lower 36 supports (Figure 2b ). In the second surface of thelower support 36, which surface points downwards inFigure 2a , there is a bearinghousing 44, in the centre of which there is abearing 46. The bearing 46 can be a sliding, ball or roller bearing. In the centre of thebearing 46 there is a hole, through which theaxis 30 passes. The number ofsupport members 34 depends on the length of theaxis 30, the number of thereels 32 and the load of the hoistwires 28. There are advantageously twosupport members 34 for eachreel 32, whereby thesupport members 34 are placed on both sides of the reel at a distance from the reel. - A slack switch has been arranged in connection with each
reel 32, for monitoring the tightness of the hoistwire 28. The slack switch has afirst support arm 50a, which is placed beside the first end of thereel 32, and asecond support arm 50b, which is placed beside the second end of thereel 32. The first ends of thesupport arms Figure 2b ) to attachingprotrusions 56, which are attached to the flange of theupper casing 20. Thepivot pin 54 is located on the first side of theaxis 30 at a distance from theaxis 30, when seen from the end of the axis 30 (Figure 2b ). The second ends of thesupport arms rod 52, which is substantially parallel to theaxis 30. The hoistwire 28 unravelling from the periphery of thereel 32 travels between thesupport arms rod 52 to thelower beam 18. The own weight of thelower beam 18 generates a load on the hoistwires 28, wherefore the hoistwire 28 strives to find its way to the vertical line passing by the periphery of thereel 32 and thelower beam 18. Therod 52 attached to the second ends of thesupport arms reel 32 and thelower beam 18 of the vertically movable door. The tight hoistwire 18, loaded by the own weight of thelower beam 18, turns over therod 52 and touches its surface, i.e. therod 52 alters the line of travel of the hoistwire 28, generating a curve in it. This curve generated in the hoistwire 28 is however rather small, so it does not cause significant friction, which would increase the tension force of the hoistwire 28 or increase the burden on the motor of the hoist mechanism. A horizontal force component is directed from the tight hoistwire 28 onto therod 52 resting against it. This force component forces therod 52 to move to the other side of theaxis 30 when seen from the end of theaxis 30, which makes thesupport arms support arms rod 52 moves upwards, i.e. potential energy is stored into them. In connection with the first ends of thesupport arms support arms axis 30, is limited. - In
Figure 2b therod 52 and thesupport arms wire 28 is in the loaded tight position. If the hoistwire 28 breaks or it detaches at its first or second end, its tension force disappears. Thus no horizontal force component is directed from the hoistwire 28 onto therod 52, whereby therod 52 and thesupport arms support arms wire 28 is removed, the potential energy stored in thesupport arms rod 52 is thus released, which makes the slack switch rotate into the second position. This second position is shown inFigure 2b with dotted lines. - The hoist mechanism further includes a
micro switch 60, which has a detectingrod 62 extending beneath thefirst support arm 50a. In the first position of the hoist mechanism thefirst support arm 50a stays above the detectingrod 62, separated from the detectingrod 62, due to the horizontal force component directed by the hoistwire 28 onto therod 52. When the tension of the hoistwire 28 is removed or decreases significantly, the horizontal force component provided thereby is removed, whereby the hoist mechanism is turned into the second position shown inFigure 2b with dotted lines. In this second position thefirst support arm 50a presses the detectingrod 62, which activates themicro switch 60. Themicro switch 60 is connected with conductors to acontrol centre 24, which controls the operation of themotor 22 belonging to the hoist mechanism. The activation of themicro switch 60 sends a halt command to thecontrol centre 24, which halts themotor 22 rotating theaxis 30. Thus all thereels 32 attached to theaxis 30 stop, whereby the movement of the door stops. Instead of a detectingrod 62 themicro switch 60 can be equipped with some other measuring sensor or detecting member, which detects the position of the slack switch. - In the hoist mechanism according to the invention a slack switch of its own has been arranged in connection with each
reel 30, which slack switch monitors the tension of the hoistwire 28 stored on thereel 30 in question. The hoist mechanism thus immediately reacts to a significant decrease in the tension in even one hoistwire 28 by halting and locking all hoist wires of the vertically movable door to be immobile. - In the description above, the suspension member of the vertically movable door is a hoist
wire 28, which is reeled onto areel 30 of the hoist mechanism. It is clear to someone skilled in the art that instead of a wire, some other flexible structural part which reels onto a roll and withstands tension, such as a hoist line, chain, rope or cable, can be used as the suspension member of the vertically movable door. - Some advantageous embodiments of the hoist mechanism and vertically movable door according to the invention have been described above. The invention is not limited to the solutions described above, but the inventive idea can be applied in numerous ways within the scope of the claims.
