Description

    Field of the Invention
  • This invention concerns a communication system for managing several peripheral control, protection and signaling devices provided, in particular, for the motorized closing systems sector.
    • State of the Technique
  • Any motorized closing system, such as a gate, both sliding and with one or two wings, an automatic barrier, a rolling shutter, a sectional door and in general any motorized door or gate frame, is considered to be a machine usually comprising at least a driving motor controlled by a control station which also the usual auxiliary control devices, such as remote controls and/or key selectors, protection devices such as photocells, sensitive frames (or safety webs), and signalling devices, such as luminous movement indicators and whatever other possible devices that can be connected to it, depend on.
  • This type of system however require electric cabling between the control station and the control devices of the motor and other auxiliary peripheral devices, which means having to provide expensive setting up such as excavations, the laying and covering of ducts for electric cables, plus the insertion and connecting of the cables. All operations that evidently call for the intervention of workers with different tasks, such as masons and electricians, who, in addition to coordinating the time and costs of important work, also have to the exclude errors.
  • WO 2006/066213 , representative of the state of the technique, discloses a barrier operator system including a remote control unit operable for wireless communication with a base controller, which is associated to a barrier motor to receive a signal from a barrier position limit detection means. But, such an operating system is only designed to control the barrier movements from closed and open positions, and not safety-protection and signaling devices as well, which a motorized closing system is usually associated with. Another barrier operator system is disclosed by EP 1 947 278 .
    • Aims and summary of the invention
  • One of the aims of the invention is, however, to propose the type of communication system for the above-mentioned application, and able to, eliminate the invasive work mentioned beforehand, and to reduce time and cost of labour, to simplify the installation of any motorized closing, complete with signal protection devices, without there being an increase in the obstruction of the control station compared to the traditional ones, furthermore, respecting the normative European regulations as regards to safety.
  • Such an aim and implicit advantages that derive from it are, according to the invention, reached by using a system that comprises, in association with the general control station of the motorized closing system, an electronic control card set up to communicate, through a wireless radio frequency transmission, where each of said peripheral control, protection and signaling devices interfaced with it, is autonomously provided with an electric feed means.
  • Indeed, also in the sector taken into consideration herein, a radio frequency transmission has already been adopted, but to a limited extent and only for a remote control.
  • The system herein proposed represents, hence, an important innovation in that it extends the use of the radio frequency also in the communication between a control station and the various control, protection and signaling devices of the motorized closing, such as gates and the like. Furthermore the autonomous feed of each single peripheral device contributes to reducing costly and complex electric wiring.
    • Brief description of the drawings
  • Further details of the invention will become evident from the following description carried out in preference to the enclosed, indicative and not limiting, drawings, in which:
    • Fig. 1 shows a block diagram of a system according to the invention; and
    • Figs. 2 and 3 show, schematically, the system applied to a sliding gate and to a double wing gate, respectively.
    Detailed description of the Invention
  • Indicatively, in said drawings with 11 two pillars are shown defining an opening to which a gate is attached that can slide 12 -Fig. 2- or the type with two wings 13 -Fig. 3- and where both the sliding gate and each of the double wings is operated by a ratiomotor 14. Normally, to each gate 12 or 13 are also correlated some peripheral devices:
    • control devices, such as a key selector 15 and a remote control 16;
    • protection devices, possibly including several pairs of infrared receiver 18 and transmitter 17 photoelectric cells, plus some sensitive edges 20, where the photoelectric cells can be provided in combination or without sensitive edges sharp or electrical 19,
    • signaling devices, made up of a flashing luminous signaler 21.
  • In a traditional motorized closing system, the above control, protection and signaling devices depend on, in the same way as the ratio motor/ratio motors, a general control station 23 fed electrically by a line 24.
  • Now, in agreement with the invention, the general control station 23 - Fig. 3- is associated with an electronic control card 22 set up to communicate via radio, in a WI-FI (wireless) way, both with control devices 15, 16, protection devices 18, 20, and signaling devices 21.
  • Each of said control, protection, and signaling devices will be provided with its own identification code so that it can be associated with the electronic control card 22 and from this be correctly identified and discriminated. Furthermore, they will be configured to emit radio signals to the electronic card 22 and communicate with it according to the lines inserted and specified in the diagram in Fig. 1.
  • As regards to the electronic control card 22, that can be constructively integrated in the general control station 23, it twill be configured to receive and reply to the radio signals coming from time to time from the devices so as to be able to elaborate the information exchanged with said peripheral devices and correspondingly manage the total or partial opening and closing movements and the various protection and signaling conditions provided according to the regulations.
  • The general control station may be fed electrically through current from the mains or batteries. But according to another important aspect of the invention, for electric supply, each control 15, 16, protection 17, 18, 20, and signaling 21 device will be autonomously equipped with an electric supply source in the form of standard or rechargeable batteries.
  • The system will in short be set up to be able to carry out a memorization procedure of the radio transmission codes between the control card and the devices they are correlated with.
