Description

The invention relates to a control device for a building door according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such a control device, in cooperation with an electromotive drive device, serves to adjust the building door and has at least one signal input for connecting a signal transmitter of a predetermined signal transmitter type to the control device. The control device is designed to control the drive device to open the building door directly, as a function of the signal generator type of the signal generator, to authorize opening of the building door or to control the drive device after authorization has been given to open the building door.

In this context, a signal transmitter of a predetermined signal transmitter type is understood to mean a signal transmitter, such as a sensor, which initiates the opening of the building door in a certain way or at least helps to open the building door. A signal transmitter of a first type of signal transmitter can cause the building door to be opened directly, i.e. the building door to be opened immediately, without further measures having to be taken (for example by pressing a button and the building door is opened as a result of the button being pressed). A signal transmitter of a second type of signal transmitter can be used, for example, to authorize opening of the building door, i.e. not to open the building door immediately, but to enable opening (such a signal transmitter can, for example, query the basic authorization of a user to open the building door in order to Authorization to allow the user to open it by actuating another signal transmitter). A signal transmitter of a third type of signal transmitter can be used to control the drive device for opening the building door after authorization has taken place, that is, to cause the building door to be opened after authorization.

Conventional control devices for building doors, which interact with signal transmitters to initiate an opening process, can have a large number of connections in order to connect signal transmitters of different types of signal transmitters and in this way to control the opening of the building door. The fact that a separate input is provided for each type of signal transmitter, which is matched to the type of signal transmitter, increases the installation space of the control device simply by providing the different connections, in particular also because lines have to be connected to the control device and from the different ones Connections protrude in different directions from the control unit and have to be laid accordingly. An integration of such a control device in a building door or a door frame of the building door is difficult with conventional control devices.

The DE 20 2009 000 683 U1 discloses a door control system which has a door control which is used to control a drive. The door control has an input device via which commands for opening, closing and stopping the door can be entered. In addition to the door control, a detection device is used to connect safety sensors that are intended to provide anti-trap protection or overload protection, for example.

The object of the present invention is to create a control device for a building door that interacts universally with different signal generators of different signal generator types for controlling a building door and can be optimized in terms of its installation space in a favorable manner and is designed to be simple and user-friendly.

This object is achieved by an object having the features of claim 1.

Accordingly, in a control device of the type mentioned at the outset, it is provided that the control device can be configured to determine the type of signal transmitter of the signal transmitter connected to the at least one signal input.

The present invention is based on the idea of providing at least one configurable signal input on a control device for connecting a signal transmitter. In contrast to conventional control devices, this at least one signal input is not set in advance to a signal transmitter of a certain signal transmitter type, but can be configured so that different signal transmitters can be connected to the at least one signal input.

The control device can be configured in such a way that, for example, a signal transmitter of a first signal transmitter type can be connected to a first signal input to directly open the building door. Accordingly, the control unit interprets signals that are received via this signal input as signals to initiate a direct opening process. A second signal input, on the other hand, can be configured, for example, to connect a signal transmitter of a second type of signal transmitter to authorize the opening of the building door. And a third signal input can be configured to connect a signal transmitter of a third type of signal transmitter to open the building door after authorization.

In this context, it is of course also conceivable to configure different signal inputs for connecting signal transmitters of the same type of signal transmitter, so that, for example, signal transmitters for opening the building door can be connected to several different signal inputs. Other configurations are of course also conceivable. The signal inputs can basically be configured in any way to connect different signal generators.

In an advantageous embodiment of the control device, at least two, preferably at least three signal inputs are provided, to which different signal transmitters of different signal transmitter types or also the same signal transmitter type can be connected.

A first signal transmitter can be designed, for example, as an authorization device for authorizing a person to open the building door. Different authorization devices are conceivable here, e.g. B. a fingerprint scanner, an iris scanner, a card reader, a device for wireless reading of a radio key or the like. Such an authorization device is used to provide the basic authorization determine a person to open the building door in order to then enable this person to actually open the building door in a subsequent step.

A second signal transmitter can e.g. be designed as a presence sensor for detecting the presence of a person in a predetermined room. Such a presence sensor can implement a signal transmitter of a signal transmitter type for directly opening the building door or for opening the building door after authorization. Such a presence sensor, for example designed as a motion sensor, light barrier, room monitoring sensor or the like, detects the presence of a person in a certain area near the building door and generates a signal at the assigned signal input that causes the building door to open.

Such a presence sensor can be used, for example, in combination with an authorization device in such a way that a person must first be authorized via the authorization device and then, after authorization, the building door can be opened as soon as the person enters a certain area near the building door.

A third signal transmitter can be designed, for example, as a remote control, via which a signal for opening the building door can be generated. In this respect, the remote control can implement a signal transmitter of a signal transmitter type for direct opening or for opening after authorization has been given.

The control unit can be designed to process different signals. For example, one or more signal inputs for a direct current signal and one or more further signal inputs for an alternating current signal can be designed so that different signal generators generating direct or alternating current signals can be connected to the control unit via suitable signal inputs provided for this purpose.

The configuration of the control device to determine the type of signaling device connected to a signal input can be done, for example, on a switch arrangement, for example a DIP switch, via which the control device can be configured in a suitable manner to interact with the different signaling devices when installing the building door ( DIP stands for Dual inline Package). When installing the building door, a fitter can do this Set a desired configuration for the control device in a flexible manner, adapted to the specific installation conditions, and adapt the signal inputs of the control device to the specific signal generators used.

It is also conceivable, however, that a fitter carries out the configuration of the control device using software, in that the fitter, for example, uses a configuration unit when assembling the building door, e.g. connects a laptop or PDA to the control unit and uses it to configure the control unit.

Because the signal inputs of the control device can be configured for connecting different signal generators, the number of signal inputs of the control device can be reduced. This is because the configurability of the signal inputs means that the signal inputs can be flexibly adapted to the signal generators used, without having to keep a large number of signal inputs available for connecting a plurality of different signal generators. Because the number of signal inputs in the control device can be reduced, the installation space is reduced and the control device can be integrated into a door leaf of the building door or a door frame.

Because the signal inputs of the control unit can be configured in different ways, the routing of lines can also be optimized. For example, a signal input can be configured for connecting a specific signal transmitter in order to be able to connect a line coming from the signal transmitter to the control device via this signal input in a spatially favorable manner.

The fact that the signal inputs of the control device can be configured also makes it possible to use a control device of a certain design universally and to adapt it to the respective conditions through configuration. In this way, it is no longer necessary to design and maintain specific control units for different conditions.

The control device is integrated in a door leaf or a door frame of the building door. The control device has a housing that extends longitudinally along a longitudinal direction and can in this way be enclosed in a circumferential profile part, for example an aluminum profile, of the door leaf. The signal inputs are arranged on the front side of the elongated control device so that lines can be led away from the control device on the front side and can be laid in the profile part of the door leaf in a favorable manner.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic overview view of a building door 1 with a door leaf 10, which is arranged pivotably on a door frame 11 and via the door frame 11 on a wall of a building. The building door 1 can realize, for example, an outer door of a building or also an inner door inside an apartment or a house.

The building door 1 has a drive device 2 integrated in a profile part 100 of the door leaf 10 in the form of an electromotive spindle drive, which is connected to a control device 4 also integrated in the profile part 100 via a line 20 is connected and is controlled via the control device 4 for moving the door leaf 10 relative to the door frame 11. The drive device 2 can be equipped in any way, for example with a movable spindle which is extended from a housing to move the door leaf 10 and is supported via a frame section 110 on the door frame 11 for pivoting the door leaf 10 about this frame section 110.

The movement of the building door 1, in particular the movement of the door leaf 10 relative to the door frame 11, is controlled via the control unit 4, which is connected to the drive device 2 via line 20, via a line 30 to a door lock 3 and via a line 400 to a Control cabinet 5 and an intercom 6 is connected. The lock 3 is used to lock the door leaf 10 relative to the door frame 11 and can optionally also be dispensed with. The intercom system 6 and the control device 4 are electrically supplied via a junction box 52 via the switch cabinet with a power supply unit 50 arranged on it and a transformer 51. And the control device 4 can be operated via the intercom 6 to open the building door 1.

Furthermore, a remote control 7 is provided, via which the control device 4 can be activated for moving the door leaf 10.

A possible installation of a building door 1 in a room R is shown Fig. 2 . In the room R, different signal transmitters S1, S2 are arranged to interact with the control device 4 of the building door 1, which fulfill different functions and emit signals to the control device 4 in order to initiate an opening of the building door 1 if necessary.

The signal transmitter S1, arranged, for example, at a location remote from the building door 1, can be designed as an authorization device, for example as a fingerprint scanner or as a voice recognition device, and serve to authorize a user and, if the authorization is successful, enable him to open the building door 1. The signal transmitter S1 only carries out the authorization and in the positive case sends a corresponding signal to the control unit 4. The building door 1 is not opened by the signal transmitter S1.

The building door 1 is only opened in this way when the user enters the detection area E1, E2 of the signal transmitter S2 after successful authorization arrives as a presence sensor, e.g. B. can be designed as a motion detector. If the signal transmitter S2 detects a user in its detection area E1, E2 and an authorization has taken place beforehand, the signal transmitter S2 controls the control device 4 accordingly, which then energizes the drive device 2 and in this way an opening movement of the door leaf 10 relative to the door frame 11 Opening the building door 1 causes.

It should be noted here that the authorization is of course limited in time. If an authorization has been carried out successfully, the building door 1 can be used for a predetermined period of time, e.g. 10 seconds after authorization, but only during this period. If no opening takes place during this period, a new authorization is required.

The signal transmitter S2 can be designed in such a way that its detection area E1, E2 can be adapted. Either provision can be made for the detection area E1, E2 to be permanently set on the signal transmitter S2 before commissioning, so that the signal transmitter S2 only monitors a predetermined detection area E1 or E2 during operation. It is also conceivable, however, that the detection area E1, E2 is variable over time or that different detection areas E1, E2, for example, are assigned to people with different speeds of movement. For example, the presence of a fast moving person can be detected in the detection area E1, while a slowly moving person is only detected in the smaller detection area E2.

The signal transmitters S1, S2 are connected to the control device 4 and control the control device 4 to open the door 1. Fig. 3 shows a schematic view of a control device 4 with different connections and inputs, via which, among other things, different signal generators S1, S2, S3 can be connected to the control device 4.

The control device 4 is used, as above with reference to FIG Fig. 1 For controlling the drive device 2, the door lock 3 and possibly also for controlling other functional components of the building door 1. The control device 4 has connections 41 for controlling the drive device 2, connections 42 for controlling the lock 3, connections 40 for connecting the electrical supply Via the power supply unit 5, connections 43 for connecting different signal generators S1, S2, S3 and connections 44 for connecting further functional components of the building door 1.

The connections 41 for connecting the drive device 2 include motor terminals 410, 411, a supply connection 412 for one or more Hall sensors, signal inputs 413, 414 for different Hall sensor signals and a ground connection 415 for the Hall sensors. In this context, the Hall sensors serve to detect the rotational speed and / or rotational position of a drive shaft of the drive device 2 and thus provide feedback on the functional state of the drive device 2.

The connections 42 for connecting the door lock 3 include a lock supply connection 420, a lock control connection 421, a connection 422 for feedback from the lock and a ground connection 423.

A voltage signal can be connected to the connection 401 of the supply connections 40. The connection 402 represents a ground connection.

For example, a further, optional driver circuit can be connected to the connection 440 of the further connections 44. An anti-trap system can be connected to connection 441. And an antenna can be connected to connector 442.

Different signal generators S1, S2, S3 can be connected to the control device 4 via the signal inputs 430, 431, 432, 433 of the connections 43. The signal inputs 430, 431, 432 are designed as inputs for direct current signals, while the further signal input 433 is designed to receive an alternating current signal.

The control device 4 also has a loudspeaker 46 via which, for example, an alarm signal can be generated.

In the context of the present invention, the signal inputs 430, 431, 432, 433 can be configured for connecting different signal generators S1, S2, S3 of different signal generator types. In this way, the control unit can be configured, for example, that, as enlarged in Fig. 4 shown, a signal transmitter S1 is connected to the first signal input 430, which causes a direct opening of the building door 1 and is designed, for example, as a button that a user presses to open the building door 1. On the other hand, an authorization device, such as a fingerprint scanner or a voice recognition system, can be connected to the second signal input 431, via which a user can authorize himself to open the door 1. A signal transmitter S3 can then be connected to the third signal input 432, which causes the building door 1 to be opened after authorization and activation of the signal transmitter S3. This signal transmitter S3 can be designed, for example, as a presence sensor, as previously based on FIG Fig. 2 described.

Because the signal inputs 430, 431, 432, 433 are configurable, basically different combinations of signal generators S1, S2, S3 of different signal generator types can be connected to the control device 4 and used together with the control device 4. For example, it is conceivable to connect three signal transmitters for direct control of the building door 1 via the three signal inputs 430, 431, 432, or it is conceivable to use one authorization device for authorization and two signal transmitters for authorized control, i.e. to open the building door 1 after authorization has been carried out, to connect. In principle, the configuration is arbitrary and can be adapted to local conditions.

The configuration can, for example, via a switch arrangement in the form of a DIP switch 45 (see Fig. 3 ), which can be used to define for each signal input 430, 431, 432, 433 what kind of signal generator S1, S2, S3 is to be connected to the respective signal input 430, 431, 432, 433 and how to connect to the respective signal input 430, 431 , 432, 433 applied signal is to be interpreted.

The control device 4 has three signal inputs 430, 431, 432 for connecting signal generators S1, S2, S3, which generate direct current signals and emit corresponding signals to the signal inputs 430, 431, 432. However, as in Fig. 5 - a signal generator S1AC generating an alternating current signal is connected to the control unit 4, this can be done via the further signal input 433 by connecting the signal generator S1AC differentially between the signal input 433 and the signal input 430 and an alternating current signal via this signal input 433, 430 the control unit 4 can deliver.

If a signal transmitter S1AC with an alternating current signal is to be connected to the control device 4, no other signal transmitter can be connected to the connection 430 in the specifically described exemplary embodiment.

Fig. 6 shows a further wiring of the signal inputs 430, 431, 432 with signal transmitters S1, S1 ', S2, S2', S3, S3 '. Two signal generators S1, S1 'for direct control, for example in the form of buttons, are connected via the first signal input 430. Two signal transmitters S2, S2 'for authorization are connected via the second signal input 431, for example in the form of fingerprint scanners or speech recognition systems, and signal transmitters S3, S3' for authorized activation, i.e. for activation after authorization, are connected via the third signal input 432 . In this embodiment, several signal transmitters are provided per signal input, with the signal transmitters S1, S1 ', S2, S2', S3, S3 'connected to each signal input 430, 431, 432 being set up at spatially different locations so that signals from different Locations can be received and the building door 1 can be operated in a flexible manner.

Another circuit is shown Fig. 7 , in which the same signal transmitter S2, S2 ', S3, S3' at the second connection 431 and the third connection 432 as in the arrangement according to FIG Fig. 6 are connected, whereas a signal generator S1AC for emitting an alternating current signal is connected to the control device 4 via the first signal input 430 and the further signal input 433.

A building door of the type described above can preferably be a low-energy door in accordance with DIN 18650, it being possible in principle to use other building doors with a control device of the type described above. By providing configurable signal inputs, there is the possibility of reducing the required installation space and the number of components required, so that an inexpensive control device is created that can be used universally and easily integrated into a door leaf or a door frame of a building door.
