Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of controlling a door operator, wherein the door operator comprises an electric motor for generating a drive force with angle sensor for generating an angle proportional to the rotation angle of the motor angle signal and guided in the opening and closing direction of a door leaf chains or belts for transmitting the driving force has on the door leaf.
  • the error message corresponds to the fact that there is a chain break or a belt break.
  • An advantage of the proposed method is that parameters are measured and evaluated on the engine, which are measured and evaluated anyway. Therefore, no additional components are required for the door drive to perform the test proposed here on the functionality of the chain or the drive belt. As a result, the door drive can be made particularly compact. In addition, a corresponding door drive has a comparatively lower Susceptibility to interference. Because of its simple and compact design, the corresponding door drive is not only suitable as a door drive for newly manufactured automatic doors, but also for retrofitting existing doors.
  • the redundancy in determining the functionality of the chain or the belt is preferably further increased by determining the values of the motor current and / or the values of the angle signal in two independent ways in each case.
  • a second angle sensor can be used on the electric motor or the current of the electric motor can be measured at various locations.
  • both the motor current and the angle signal are measured and these two parameters are each determined redundantly in order to ensure a particularly high level of safety.
  • the reaching of the end position is determined from the angle signal and confirmed by an increase of the motor current.
  • the door leaf position can be determined as an absolute value via the angle signal or can be determined by comparison with a defined one Reference value, the current door leaf position can be determined.
  • the motor current would increase when attempting to continue beyond the final position.
  • a corresponding signal "end position reached” output can be used outside the door drive.
  • this signal can be used to shut down the machines located behind the door or to run in a safety mode.
  • the door of an elevator car it is possible, inter alia, to prevent the elevator car from approaching when the door is open via the missing signal "end position reached”.
  • the travel speed of the door leaf is set faster or slower in response to an external signal.
  • This variant is particularly suitable for the use of the door drive in carrying out the method described here for automatic machine doors.
  • the movement speed of the door leaf can be set slower, if for example sensors, such as motion detectors, light barriers, light grids or pressure-sensitive foot mats, operating personnel is detected in the vicinity of the machine door, so as not to jeopardize this. If no operator is near the door, it can be moved at the maximum travel speed to avoid delays in the machining process by the machines behind the machine door.
  • FIG. 1 a door drive 1 in perspective ( FIG. 1 ) and in side view ( FIG. 2 ).
  • the door drive 1 to an electric motor 2, which is connected via a toothed belt 4 with a door leaf holder 8.
  • the electric motor 2 of the embodiment of a door drive 1 shown here is a brushless electric motor which has Hall sensors for controlling the motor in its interior. These Hall sensors, not shown here, can be used as absolute angle encoder.
  • the electric motor 2 has a designed as incremental angle encoder angle encoder 3, which is arranged coaxially to the gear 5 in the present example, via which the toothed belt 4 extends and is driven by the electric motor 2.
  • the incremental angle encoder 3 may for example also be arranged coaxially with the motor shaft.
  • the angle encoder 3 can also be arranged on the gear 5 ', which is not driven by the electric motor 2.
  • a door leaf is moved over the toothed belt 4, which can be fastened to the door leaf holder 8.
  • the door leaf holder 8 also has stops 9. These stops 9 are mounted relative to the door leaf holder 8 such that they come into abutment in the respective end bearing 6 when the end position is reached.
  • the door leaf which may be attached to the door leaf holder 8, occupy two end position positions, one of which corresponds to a position of a fully opened position of the door leaf and the other end position corresponds to a fully closed position of the door leaf.
  • the brushless electric motor 2 on the one hand has Hall sensors, and on the other hand via a incremental angle encoder 3, two independent angle signals can be obtained at the motor 2.
  • the two angle signals differ i.a. by the fact that the two angle encoders have different resolutions.
  • the incremental encoder generally has a much higher resolution than the Hall sensors as absolute angle encoder.
  • the resolutions of incremental encoders are several hundred steps per revolution, while the resolution of the Hall sensors is a few steps per revolution.
  • the resolution of the angle sensor formed by the Hall sensors can be further increased by the number of Hall sensors.
  • the motor current can be measured at different locations on the electric motor 2.
  • the respective current value is determined once at the input of the electric motor and once at the output of the electric motor.
  • the two independent current values in conjunction with the two independent angle values, it is very easy to determine in the end position position whether a break in the toothed belt 4 is present or not.
  • the end position can be determined from these signals with very high reliability, so that the door drive in the example, as in the Figures 1 and 2 is shown, does not need to have a limit switch.
  • an angle encoder and a third gear can be provided over which the toothed belt 4 runs to measure its speed.
  • an angle sensor and sensors can be used, which count visually and / or magnetically, how many teeth of the respective gear are moved past them.
  • FIG. 3 is shown schematically the operation of the door drive.
  • the door leaf 10 which is fixed to the door leaf holder 8, in the direction of the arrow between the two end bearings 6 are moved back and forth, wherein the movement is stopped by abutment of the stops 9 to the respective repository 6.
  • the door leaf can be moved in opposite directions.
  • the motor current This is schematic in the FIGS. 5a, b shown. In FIG. 5a
  • the door leaf is driven to the end position with a constant motor current.
  • the door can be moved with any movement patterns of different power distribution.
  • t0 in which the end position is reached, abuts the stop 9 on the door leaf holder 8 against the end bearing 6.
  • the repository 6 acts as a resistance that generates a counterforce that is transmitted to the motor 2 via the functioning toothed belt 4.
  • the motor current increases. If the motor current, as in FIG. 5b For example, if it were shown to be constant, this would mean that the counterforce normally exerted by the anvil is not transmitted to the engine. This would be a strong indication that the timing belt 4 is broken.
  • the increase in the motor current I when passing over the end position also confirms the information that was determined with respect to the position from the angle sensor signal that the end position has been reached. Then the engine can be switched off, or switched to idle, which is in FIG. 5a is represented by the decrease of the motor current at times greater than t0.
  • the functionality of the toothed belt 4 can also be carried out by evaluating the angle sensor signal ⁇ .
  • ⁇ can be directly evaluated, as in the FIGS. 6a, b or, for example, a quantity derived from ⁇ such as the angular velocity d ⁇ / dt included in the FIGS. 6c, d is shown.
  • the angle ⁇ changes continuously with time, until the time t0 the final position is reached.
  • the angle would continue to change continuously as the engine continues to run.
  • the angle change with time d ⁇ / dt becomes constant until the end position is reached at time t0 and the angle change d ⁇ / dt is reduced to zero. If the timing belt 4 as in FIG. 6d torn, the angle change d ⁇ / dt would still be non-zero.
  • FIG. 7 the sequence of a preferred embodiment of the proposed method for controlling a door drive in a kind of flowchart is shown.
  • the door leaf or a door leaf holder is initially moved against a stop when the door drive is put into operation (step 701).
  • This position is determined as a reference angle .phi..sub.R on the basis of an angle sensor signal which in any case is present in an electric motor, from which all following positions are determined by enumerating the angle changes .phi.Xi can be (step 703).
  • the angle sensor signals for position determination it is possible to move selectively into an end position (step 705).
  • first angle signals cpA1 and cpB1 can now be measured at an angle transmitter A and optionally an angle transmitter B.
  • first motor currents IA1 and IB1 are also measured at two different points A and B on the motor. The motor is then controlled in such a way that an attempt is made to drive the door leaf beyond the end position (step 709) and simultaneously again measure a second angle signal ⁇ A2, ⁇ B2 at two different angle encoders or a further current signal IA2, IB2 at two different locations (Step 711).
  • step 713 If it turns out that none of the conditions tested in step 713 are satisfied, not only is it ensured that the toothed belt is not cracked with very high safety, but it is also confirmed independently that the final position is actually reached (step 719).
  • This information may be forwarded in step 721 to other units within a door operator superordinate system, for example to the control of a machine tool shielded by a door-driven door, or to an elevator controller.
