  • US 2006/0 244 271 A1 discloses a swing door drive that switches its motor into generator operation to charge an energy store.
  • the energy that arises when a door impacts an obstacle is fundamentally dependent on the mass of the door and the speed of the main closing edge. Due to the special kinematics of gates, the speed of the main closing edge is often not proportional to the speed of the drive motor. This is particularly pronounced, for example, with up-and-over doors; but also with other types of gates, such as swing gates or roller gates. It usually follows that the speed at the main closing edge varies at constant engine speed. This can lead to different impact forces over the entire path. Again, this can be unfavorable for compliance with the permissible forces. One idea is to ensure an almost constant speed of the main closing edge.

  • the main closing edge moves at an almost constant speed. This enables a more even power cut-off over the entire door travel.
  • the gate system can become more secure. There are also other possible uses.
  • a spring With a vertically guided door, a spring often compensates for the weight of the door. One then speaks of a weight-balanced goal. If the weight compensation device fails, for example due to a break in the spring, the door accelerates suddenly in the direction of the floor. This acceleration differs significantly from normal door travel. A spring break can therefore be suspected. The control device goes into a safe state on the basis of the measured acceleration values.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Torantrieb und ein Tor mit einem solchen Torantrieb.The invention relates to a door operator and a gate with such a door operator.

Tore für Gebäude oder Einfriedungen werden zunehmend auch im privaten Bereich mit Kraftantrieben ausgestattet. Kraftangetriebene Tore sollten so ausgestaltet sein, dass sie keine Gefahr für den Nutzer darstellen.Gates for buildings or enclosures are increasingly being equipped with power drives in the private sector too. Power gates should be designed so that they do not pose a risk to the user.

Insbesondere bei Kipptoren stellt dies eine Herausforderung dar. In Fig. 1 ist ein Kipptor 10 gemäß dem Stand der Technik dargestellt. Das Kipptor 10 umfasst einen Kipptorflügel 12, der beispielhaft in fünf Stellungen, die mit I bis V nummeriert sind, dargestellt ist. Mit I ist die Öffnungsstellung bezeichnet. Mit V ist die Schließstellung bezeichnet. Die Stellungen II bis IV bezeichnen Zwischenstellungen während des Schließvorganges.This is a challenge, especially with up-and-over doors Fig. 1 is shown a tilting gate 10 according to the prior art. The tilting gate 10 comprises a tilting gate wing 12, which is shown by way of example in five positions, which are numbered I to V. I is the opening position. V is the closed position. Positions II to IV indicate intermediate positions during the closing process.

Fig. 2 zeigt beispielhaft den Bewegungsablauf des Kipptorflügels 12 als Geschwindigkeits-Zeit-Diagramm. Daraus ist ersichtlich, dass das Kipptor beim Schließen zunächst beschleunigt, bis eine Maximalgeschwindigkeit erreicht ist. Sodann wird die Bewegung des Kipptorflügels 12 abgebremst, bis der die Schließstellung erreicht ist. Fig. 2 shows an example of the sequence of movements of the tilt gate wing 12 as a speed-time diagram. From this it can be seen that the tilt gate initially accelerates when closing until a maximum speed is reached. Then the movement of the tilt gate wing 12 is braked until it reaches the closed position.

Daraus ergeben sich je nach momentaner Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit des Kipptorflügels 12 unterschiedliche Aufprallkräfte, etwa beim Auftreffen auf ein Hindernis. Insbesondere bei hohen Bewegungsgeschwindigkeiten, kann es zu schweren Verletzungen kommen, falls der Kipptorflügel 12 auf eine Person trifft.This results in 12 different impact forces, depending on the current speed of movement of the tilt gate wing, for example when hitting an obstacle. In particular at high speeds of movement, serious injuries can occur if the tilt gate wing 12 hits a person.

EP 2 388 424 A2 beschreibt eine Torantriebsvorrichtung zum Antreiben eines Torflügels. Die Torantriebsvorrichtung erkennt selbsttätig ihren Einbauzustand und überwacht und steuert die Bewegung des Torflügels in Abhängigkeit der Montageart. EP 2 388 424 A2 describes a gate drive device for driving a gate leaf. The door drive device automatically recognizes its installation status and monitors and controls the movement of the gate leaf depending on the type of installation.

WO 2011/095 474 A1 offenbart eine Torantriebsvorrichtung, die selbsttätig ein Tormodell erkennen kann. WO 2011/095 474 A1 discloses a door drive device that can automatically recognize a door model.

Aus WO 2012/076 619 A1 ist ein Sektionaltorflügel bekannt, der eine Relativbewegung zwischen einem Endpaneel und einem benachbarten Paneel erfassen kann.Out WO 2012/076 619 A1 a sectional gate is known which can detect a relative movement between an end panel and an adjacent panel.

Die zuvor genannten Steuervorrichtungen gemäß dem Stand der Technik steuern die Motordrehzahl. Die Motordrehzahl wird in Abhängigkeit von Motorparametern, etwa dem Strom, gesteuert. Andere Sensoren bewirken lediglich eine Abschaltung bei Kontakt und erfassen keine momentane Geschwindigkeit des Torflügels über die gesamte Torfahrt.The aforementioned control devices according to the prior art control the engine speed. The engine speed is controlled depending on engine parameters, such as the current. Other sensors only switch off on contact and do not record the current speed of the gate wing over the entire gate travel.

DE 20 2010 007 951 U1 und EP 1 722 339 A1 offenbaren eine Schließkantenerfassung zur Vermeidung von Verletzungen. Dabei wird der Motor in Gegenrichtung angesteuert, wenn eine Kollision mit einem Hindernis erfolgt ist. DE 20 2010 007 951 U1 and EP 1 722 339 A1 disclose a closing edge detection to avoid injuries. The motor is driven in the opposite direction if there is a collision with an obstacle.

Die Energie, die bei einem Aufprall eines Tores auf ein Hindernis entsteht, ist grundsätzlich von der Masse des Tores und der Geschwindigkeit der Hauptschließkante abhängig. Aufgrund der besonderen Kinematik von Toren ist die Geschwindigkeit der Hauptschließkante häufig nicht proportional zu der Drehzahl des Antriebsmotors. Das ist beispielsweise bei Kipptoren besonders ausgeprägt; aber auch bei anderen Torarten, wie zum Beispiel Drehtoren oder Rolltoren zu beachten. Daraus folgt meist, dass bei konstanter Motordrehzahl die Geschwindigkeit an der Hauptschließkante variiert. Das kann über den gesamten Torweg zu unterschiedlichen Aufprallkräften führen. Das kann wiederum ungünstig für die Einhaltung der zulässigen Kräfte sein. Eine Idee ist, für eine nahezu konstante Geschwindigkeit der Hauptschließkante zu sorgen.The energy that arises when a door impacts an obstacle is fundamentally dependent on the mass of the door and the speed of the main closing edge. Due to the special kinematics of gates, the speed of the main closing edge is often not proportional to the speed of the drive motor. This is particularly pronounced, for example, with up-and-over doors; but also with other types of gates, such as swing gates or roller gates. It usually follows that the speed at the main closing edge varies at constant engine speed. This can lead to different impact forces over the entire path. Again, this can be unfavorable for compliance with the permissible forces. One idea is to ensure an almost constant speed of the main closing edge.

Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt schafft die Erfindung ein Tor zum Abschließen von Öffnungen in Bauwerken oder Einfriedungen mit einem Torflügel und mit einem bevorzugten Torantrieb.According to a further aspect, the invention provides a gate for closing off openings in buildings or enclosures with a gate wing and with a preferred gate drive.

Mit den bevorzugten Vorrichtungen und Verfahren können insbesondere die nachfolgend beschriebenen Vorteile erreicht werden.With the preferred devices and methods, in particular the advantages described below can be achieved.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung wird eine Sensoreinheit im Bereich der Schließkante angebracht. Die Sensoreinheit umfasst beispielsweise einen Beschleunigungssensor und einen Lagesensor. Die Sensoreinheit kann die Beschleunigung und die Richtung der Beschleunigung erfassen. Die Messwerte werden an eine Motorsteuerungseinheit geleitet und verarbeitet. Die Art der Signalübertragung ist dabei weniger relevant. Die Motorsteuerungseinheit ermöglicht mit Hilfe eines geeigneten Algorithmus eine im Wesentlichen konstante Geschwindigkeit der Hauptschließkante.In a preferred embodiment, a sensor unit is attached in the area of the closing edge. The sensor unit includes, for example, an acceleration sensor and a position sensor. The sensor unit can detect the acceleration and the direction of the acceleration. The measured values are sent to an engine control unit and processed. The type of signal transmission is less relevant. The motor control unit enables an essentially constant speed of the main closing edge with the aid of a suitable algorithm.

Die Hauptschließkante bewegt sich mit einer nahezu konstanten Geschwindigkeit. Dadurch wird eine gleichmäßigere Kraftabschaltung über den gesamten Torweg ermöglicht. Die Toranlage kann sicherer werden. Zudem bestehen weitere Einsatzmöglichkeiten.The main closing edge moves at an almost constant speed. This enables a more even power cut-off over the entire door travel. The gate system can become more secure. There are also other possible uses.

Bei einem vertikal geführten Tor kompensiert häufig eine Feder die Gewichtskraft des Tores. Man spricht dann von einem gewichtsausgeglichenen Tor. Versagt die Gewichtsausgleichseinrichtung, beispielsweise durch einen Bruch der Feder, so beschleunigt das Tor ruckartig in Richtung des Bodens. Diese Beschleunigung weicht von der normalen Torfahrt deutlich ab. Es kann demnach ein Federbruch vermutet werden. Die Steuervorrichtung geht aufgrund der gemessenen Beschleunigungswerte in einen sicheren Zustand.With a vertically guided door, a spring often compensates for the weight of the door. One then speaks of a weight-balanced goal. If the weight compensation device fails, for example due to a break in the spring, the door accelerates suddenly in the direction of the floor. This acceleration differs significantly from normal door travel. A spring break can therefore be suspected. The control device goes into a safe state on the basis of the measured acceleration values.

Bei der Montage von Torantrieben kann es zu Fehlern kommen. Beispielsweise zu einem falsch angeschlossenen Motor. In diesem Fall ist es möglich, dass der Motor verkehrt herum dreht. Das Tor fährt AUF anstatt ZU und umgekehrt. Dieser Irrtum kann zu Sicherheitsproblemen führen. Insbesondere dann, wenn Eigenschaften der falschen Bewegungsrichtung zugeordnet sind. Ein Beispiel für eine bewegungsabhängige Eigenschaft ist die Kraftbegrenzung. Die Kraftbegrenzung wirkt in der Schließrichtung, d.h. ZU, häufig empfindlicher als in der Öffnungsrichtung, d. h. AUF. Beim Einsatz üblicher einkanaliger Inkrementalgeber fehlt jedoch die Information über die Bewegungsrichtung. Dies kann zu Sicherheitsproblemen führen. Durch den Einsatz der Sensoreinheit wird die Bewegungsrichtung des Tores erkannt. Die Steuerung kann in einen sicheren Zustand schalten.Errors can occur when installing gate operators. For example, an incorrectly connected motor. In this case the motor may turn upside down. The gate moves OPEN instead of CLOSED and vice versa. This mistake can lead to security problems. Especially when properties are assigned to the wrong direction of movement. Force limitation is an example of a motion-dependent property. The force limitation acts in the closing direction, i.e. CLOSED, often more sensitive than in the opening direction, i.e. H. ON. When using conventional single-channel incremental encoders, however, there is no information about the direction of movement. This can lead to security problems. By using the sensor unit, the direction of movement of the door is recognized. The controller can switch to a safe state.

Zudem besteht bei vertikal geführten Toren, beispielsweise bei Rollgittertoren, die Möglichkeit, dass eine Person beim Öffnen des Tores mitfährt. Die Person könnte aus großer Höhe abstürzen oder in den sogenannten Rolltorpanzer eingewickelt werden. Aufgrund der zusätzlichen Last verändert eine mitfahrende Person das Beschleunigungsprofil. Diese Abweichung kann mit der Sensoreinheit erfasst und mit einer Torsteuerung verarbeitet werden, die wiederum einen sicheren Zustand herstellen kann.In addition, in the case of vertically guided gates, for example in the case of rolling grille gates, there is the possibility of a person traveling along when the gate is opened. The person could fall from a great height or be wrapped in the so-called roller shutter curtain. A passenger changes the acceleration profile due to the additional load. This deviation can be detected with the sensor unit and processed with a gate control, which in turn can establish a safe state.

Ähnlich wie beim Erkennen einer mitfahrenden Person, verändert ein plötzlich auftretendes Hindernis das Beschleunigungsprofil. Diese Abweichung kann wiederum mit der Sensoreinheit erfasst und mit einer Torsteuerung verarbeitet werden.Similar to recognizing a passenger, a sudden obstacle changes the acceleration profile. This deviation can in turn be detected with the sensor unit and processed with a gate control.

Der Graph der Normalschließgeschwindigkeitssollwerte 73 ist mit S bezeichnet. t0 bezeichnet den Zeitpunkt, an dem ein Ereignis auftritt. t1 bezeichnet den Zeitpunkt, an dem das Ereignis von der Steuervorrichtung 42 erkannt wird. t2 bezeichnet den Zeitpunkt, an dem von der Steuervorrichtung 42 auf das Ereignis reagiert worden ist und der Antriebsabschluss 41 den gewünschten Zustand eingenommen hat.The mode of operation of the control device 42 is described below with reference to FIG Figures 5 to 9 explained in more detail. The graph of the normal closing speed setpoints 73 is denoted by S. t 0 denotes the time at which an event occurs. t 1 denotes the point in time at which the event is recognized by the control device 42. t 2 denotes the point in time at which the control device 42 reacted to the event and the drive termination 41 assumed the desired state.

Der Beschleunigungslagesensor 64 ist an dem Flügel 24 im Bereich der Hauptschließkante 44 angeordnet. Der Beschleunigungslagesensor 64 erfasst Betrag und Richtung der Beschleunigung der Hauptschließkante 44. Diese Bewegungsdaten 59 werden von dem Sender 66 zu dem Empfänger 68 übermittelt. Die Bewegungsdaten 59 werden an die Schließkantenbewegungsermittelungseinheit 60 übertragen.The acceleration position sensor 64 is arranged on the wing 24 in the region of the main closing edge 44. The acceleration position sensor 64 detects the amount and direction of the acceleration of the main closing edge 44. This movement data 59 is sent from the transmitter 66 to the receiver 68 transmitted. The movement data 59 are transmitted to the closing edge movement determination unit 60.

Die Schließkantenbewegungsermittelungseinheit 60 ermittelt aus den Bewegungsdaten 59 die Momentanschließkantenbeschleunigung am und/oder die Momentanschließkantengeschwindigkeit vm. Dabei kann die Momentanschließkantenbeschleunigung am beispielsweise gleich den Bewegungsdaten 59 gesetzt werden. Es ist auch möglich, dass die Momentanschließkantenbeschleunigung am durch Bilden eines Durchschnitts der Bewegungsdaten 59 ermittelt wird.The closing edge movement determination unit 60 determines the instantaneous leading edge acceleration a m and / or the instantaneous leading edge speed v m from the movement data 59. In this case, the instantaneous leading edge acceleration a m can, for example, be set equal to the movement data 59. It is also possible for the instantaneous leading edge acceleration a m to be determined by averaging the movement data 59.

Die Momentanschließkantengeschwindigkeit vm kann beispielsweise durch Integrieren der Momentanschließkantenbeschleunigung am und/oder der Bewegungsdaten 59 ermittelt werden.The instantaneous leading edge speed v m can be determined, for example, by integrating the instantaneous leading edge acceleration a m and / or the movement data 59.

Bei der Installation der Steuervorrichtung 42 und/oder zur Wartung kann der zeitliche Verlauf der Werte der Momentanschließkantenbeschleunigung am als Schließkantennormalbeschleunigungssollwerte 75 und/oder der zeitliche Verlauf der Werte der Momentanschließkantengeschwindigkeit vm als Schließkantennormalgeschwindigkeitssollwerte 73 in der Speichereinheit 72 abgelegt werden. Damit ist der Verlauf einer fehlerfreien Torfahrt in der Steuervorrichtung 42 eingelernt.When the control device 42 is installed and / or for maintenance, the time profile of the values of the instantaneous leading edge acceleration a m can be stored in the storage unit 72 as the closing edge normal acceleration target values 75 and / or the temporal profile of the values of the current leading edge speed v m can be stored as the closing edge normal speed target values 73. The course of an error-free door travel is thus learned in the control device 42.

Im gewöhnlichen Betrieb werden die von der Schließkantenbewegungsermittelungseinheit 60 ermittelte Momentanschließkantenbeschleunigung am und/oder Momentanschließkantengeschwindigkeit vm an die Vergleichseinheit 74 geleitet. Die Vergleichseinheit 74 vergleicht, beispielsweise durch Differenzbildung, die Momentanschließkantengeschwindigkeit vm und/oder Momentanschließkantenbeschleunigung am mit dem jeweiligen Schließkantennormalgeschwindigkeitssollwert 73 oder Schließkantennormalbeschleunigungssollwert 75, der zu dem momentanen Zeitpunkt der Torfahrt, also bei einer bestimmten Stellung des Flügels erwartet wird. Die Vergleichseinheit 74 gibt darauf basierend das Schließkantenbewegungsvergleichsergebnis 77 aus, etwa die Differenz der Werte im Fall des Vergleichs durch Differenzbildung.In normal operation, the instantaneous leading edge acceleration a m and / or the instantaneous leading edge speed v m determined by the closing edge movement determination unit 60 are passed to the comparison unit 74. The comparison unit 74 compares, for example by forming the difference, the instantaneous leading edge speed v m and / or instantaneous trailing edge acceleration a m with the respective closing edge normal speed setpoint 73 or closing edge normal acceleration setpoint 75 which is expected at the current time of the door travel, that is to say at a certain position of the leaf becomes. Based on this, the comparison unit 74 outputs the closing edge movement comparison result 77, for example the difference in the values in the case of the comparison by forming a difference.

Anschließend ermittelt die Betriebszustandsermittelungseinheit 70 aus dem Schließkantenbewegungsvergleichsergebnis 77 einen Betriebszustand 84, gegebenenfalls mittels der Module 76, 78, 80 ,82.The operating state determination unit 70 then determines an operating state 84 from the closing edge movement comparison result 77, if appropriate by means of the modules 76, 78, 80, 82.

Bei einer fehlerfreien Torfahrt gibt die Betriebszustandsermittelungseinheit 70 den Betriebszustand "NORMAL" an die Betriebszustandssteuereinheit 71 aus.In the event of an error-free door travel, the operating state determination unit 70 outputs the operating state “NORMAL” to the operating state control unit 71.

Tritt ein Ausfall der Gewichtsausgleichseinrichtung 38, etwa aufgrund eines Bruchs der Feder 48, auf, so beschleunigt der Flügel 24 und somit auch die Hauptschließkante 44. Die Momentanschließkantenbeschleunigung am und/oder Momentanschließkantengeschwindigkeit vm weichen ihren jeweiligen Sollwerten ab. Der abrupte Geschwindigkeitsanstieg der Hauptschließkante 44 und/oder deren Beschleunigung in Richtung Boden wird von dem Gewichtsausgleichseinrichtungsausfallerkennungsmodul 76 beispielsweise bei Überschreiten eines Schwellwertes S1 erkannt. Die Betriebszustandsermittelungseinheit 70 gibt den Betriebszustand "AUSFALL" an die Betriebszustandssteuereinheit 71 aus.If a failure of the counterbalancing means 38, for example due to breakage of the spring 48, so the vane 24 and therefore also the main closing edge 44. accelerates the instantaneous closing edge acceleration a m and / or instantaneous closing edges speed v m soft their respective setpoints from. The abrupt increase in speed of the main closing edge 44 and / or its acceleration in the direction of the floor is detected by the weight compensation device failure detection module 76, for example when a threshold value S1 is exceeded. The operating state determination unit 70 outputs the operating state “FAILURE” to the operating state control unit 71.

Das Motordrehrichtungserkennungsmodul 78 ist ausgebildet, eine falsche Drehrichtung eines Motors des Abschlussantriebs 41 zu erkennen. Dreht der Motor in eine vorgegebene Richtung, beispielsweise die Schließrichtung, und die Momentanschließkantengeschwindigkeit vm weicht innerhalb einer gewissen Zeit von dem Schließkantennormalgeschwindigkeitssollwert 73 ab, gibt die Betriebszustandsermittelungseinheit 70 den Betriebszustand "MOTOR" an die Betriebszustandssteuereinheit 71 aus. Insbesondere verwendet das Motordrehrichtungserkennungsmodul 78 die Richtung der Momentanschließkantengeschwindigkeit vm zum Erkennen der falschen Drehrichtung. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Momentanschließkantenbeschleunigung am und die jeweiligen Schließkantennormalbeschleunigungssollwerte 75 verwendet werden.The motor rotation direction detection module 78 is designed to detect an incorrect direction of rotation of a motor of the final drive 41. If the motor rotates in a predetermined direction, for example the closing direction, and the instantaneous leading edge speed v m deviates from the closing edge normal speed setpoint 73 within a certain time, the operating state determination unit 70 outputs the operating state “MOTOR” to the operating state control unit 71. In particular, the motor rotation direction detection module 78 uses the direction of the current trailing edge speed v m to detect the wrong direction of rotation. Alternatively or additionally, the Instantaneous trailing edge acceleration a m and the respective trailing edge normal acceleration setpoints 75 are used.

Das Personenmitfahrerkennungsmodul 80 ist ausgebildet, eine auf dem Flügel 24 mitfahrende Person zu erkennen. Das zusätzliche Gewicht der Person verändert die Momentanschließkantengeschwindigkeit vm und/oder die Momentanschließkantenbeschleunigung am des Flügels 24, insbesondere der Hauptschließkante 44. Die Momentanschließkantengeschwindigkeit vm bleibt in diesem Fall beispielsweise stets unter den Schließkantennormalgeschwindigkeitssollwerten 73. Die Betriebszustandsermittelungseinheit 70 gibt den Betriebszustand "PERSON" an die Betriebszustandssteuereinheit 71 aus.The passenger rider recognition module 80 is designed to recognize a person traveling on the wing 24. The additional weight of the person changing the instantaneous closing edges speed v m and / or the instantaneous closing edge acceleration a m of the vane 24, in particular the main closing edge 44. The instantaneous closing edges speed v m will remain in this case, for example always under the closing edge normal speed target values 73. The Betriebszustandsermittelungseinheit 70 outputs the operating condition "person" to the operating state control unit 71.

Das Hinderniserkennungsmodul 82 ist ausgebildet, ein Hindernis im Torbereich zu erkennen. Trifft der Flügel 24, insbesondere die Hauptschließkante 44, auf ein Hindernis, so sinkt die Momentanschließkantengeschwindigkeit vm abrupt ab, und es wirkt eine große Momentanschließkantenbeschleunigung am entgegen der momentanen Bewegungsrichtung. Es kann auch die Momentanschließkantengeschwindigkeit vm abrupt ansteigen, wobei eine Momentanschließkantenbeschleunigung am in der momentanen Bewegungsrichtung wirkt. Wird dabei beispielsweise ein Schwellwert S2 überschritten, gibt die Betriebszustandsermittelungseinheit 70 den Betriebszustand "HINDERNIS" an die Betriebszustandssteuereinheit 71 aus.The obstacle detection module 82 is designed to detect an obstacle in the gate area. If the wing 24, in particular the main closing edge 44, encounters an obstacle, the instantaneous leading edge speed v m drops abruptly, and a large instantaneous leading edge acceleration a m acts counter to the current direction of movement. The instantaneous leading edge speed v m can also increase abruptly, an instantaneous leading edge acceleration a m acting in the current direction of movement. If a threshold value S2 is exceeded, for example, the operating state determination unit 70 outputs the operating state “OBSTRUCTION” to the operating state control unit 71.

Der ausgegebene Betriebszustand 84 wird von der Betriebszustandssteuereinheit 71 ausgewertet, die ein Steuersignal 86 zum Steuern des Abschlussantriebs 41 erzeugt. Im Fall des Zustands "NORMAL" wird die Torfahrt fortgesetzt.The output operating state 84 is evaluated by the operating state control unit 71, which generates a control signal 86 for controlling the final drive 41. In the case of the "NORMAL" state, the door travel is continued.

Wenn einer der Zustände "AUSFALL" oder "MOTOR" ausgegeben wird, gibt die Betriebszustandssteuereinheit 71 das Steuersignal 86 zum Anhalten des Flügels 24 an den Abschlussantrieb 41 aus. Der Flügel 24 wird angehalten und steht still. Nach Fehlerbehebung kann fortgefahren werden.If one of the states "FAILURE" or "MOTOR" is output, the operating state control unit 71 outputs the control signal 86 for stopping the wing 24 to the final drive 41. The wing 24 is stopped and stands still. You can continue after troubleshooting.

Falls einer der Zustände "PERSON" oder "HINDERNIS" ausgegeben wird, gibt die Betriebszustandssteuereinheit 71 das Steuersignal 86 zum Anhalten und Reversieren des Flügels 24 an den Abschlussantrieb 41 aus. Der Flügel 24 wird angehalten und wird eine kurze Strecke zurückbewegt, um beispielsweise die Person herabzulassen oder das Hindernis freizugeben. Nach Fehlerbehebung kann fortgefahren werden.If one of the states "PERSON" or "OBSTACLE" is output, the operating state control unit 71 outputs the control signal 86 for stopping and reversing the wing 24 to the final drive 41. The wing 24 is stopped and is moved back a short distance, for example, to lower the person or to release the obstacle. You can continue after troubleshooting.

Tritt keiner der definierten Zustände auf, gibt die Betriebszustandssteuereinheit 71 das Steuersignal 86 zum Anhalten des Flügels 24 an den Abschlussantrieb 41 aus, um einen unsicheren Betrieb zu verhindern.If none of the defined states occurs, the operating state control unit 71 outputs the control signal 86 for stopping the wing 24 to the final drive 41 in order to prevent unsafe operation.

Die Steuervorrichtung 42 steuert die Geschwindigkeit und/oder Beschleunigung der Hauptschließkante 44 basierend auf deren momentaner Geschwindigkeit oder Beschleunigung. Damit kann beispielsweise die ungleichmäßige Bewegung eines Flügels 24 ausgeglichen werden. Zudem können verschiedene Betriebszustände 84 erkannt und verarbeitet werden. Die Steuervorrichtung 42 kann daher die Nutzungssicherheit von kraftangetriebenen Abschlüssen 22 erhöhen.The control device 42 controls the speed and / or acceleration of the main closing edge 44 based on its current speed or acceleration. For example, the uneven movement of a wing 24 can be compensated for. In addition, various operating states 84 can be recognized and processed. The control device 42 can therefore increase the security of use of power-driven closures 22.
