Definitions

  • the present invention relates to industrial doors comprising a movable sheet between an extended closed position and a compacted open position of the industrial door.
  • the sheet is compacted by lifting it upwards.
  • the fabric in order to provide the necessary resistance to wind force, the fabric is rigidly supported by transverse bars, for example, metal tubes.
  • the ends of these bars are supported on guide carriages that slide vertically along lateral guide uprights.
  • the door is provided with a motor that controls in rotation a horizontal shaft extending over the sheet from one side of the door to the other.
  • a plurality of horizontally equidistant belts supporting the lower stiffening bar.
  • the belts are wound around the horizontal shaft. While lifting the lower bar, the respective guide carriages are supported against the carriages above, pulling all or part of the guide carriages upwards until the desired sheet height with respect to the ground is reached.
  • the bars are not rigid enough and at least the lower bar must be replaced by a beam or a reticular structure.
  • GB 2 306 995 A discloses a tensioned movable door, supported and guided at its edges by wheeled trolleys. In case of a flexible door, the door can be stiffened by rods.
  • US 6 035 918 A discloses a fast-opening and fast-closing goods-handling door including a foldable or rollable flexible curtain, the edges of which are guided in respective slideways.
  • EP 1 692 365 B1 discloses a screening device with a movable screen and guiding means for the movement of the mobile screen.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose an industrial door able to at least partially overcome the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • an object of the invention is to propose an industrial door having reduced bulk in height.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose an industrial door that does not require the use of a heavy and bulky handling apparatus even when the door's width is increased.
  • the door 1 closes an opening 2, generally rectangular in shape, delimited by two side walls 3 and an upper horizontal wall 4.
  • the door 1 comprises a sheet 10 and a structure 5; 105; 1005 for supporting and moving the sheet 10.
  • Such structure 5; 105; 1005 is of a type suitable for progressively compacting the sheet 10 by raising its lower edge so as to increase progressively the distance of the sheet from the ground to the door's maximum opening position wherein the sheet is completely shirred beneath the upper horizontal wall 4 of the opening 2.
  • the sheet 10 is furthermore stiffened, i.e. placed in tension, by a plurality of horizontal tensioning elements 12 which extend substantially from one side of the sheet 10 to the other. These tensioning elements 12 are positioned in respective horizontal pockets 13 formed at regular intervals along the entire height of the sheet 10.
  • the tensioning elements 12 are freely housed in the horizontal pockets 13, i.e. they are operatively disconnected from the sheet 10, so as to have greater freedom to deform under the action of a transverse load to the sheet, as will be described hereinafter.
  • the primary function of the tensioning elements 12 is not to reinforce the sheet in the coupling zones in the carriages, but, as will be explained in the description hereinafter, to perform a pre-tensioning of the sheet and a transfer of the transverse load from the sheet to the carriages.
  • the structure for supporting and moving 5; 105; 1005 comprises two vertical support uprights 20, each adapted to be attached to a respective side wall 3, or to a special support extending from such wall.
  • the structure for supporting and moving 5; 105; 1005 further comprises a towing carriage 14; 114; 1014 sliding along each vertical support upright 20 and a plurality of towed carriages 15; 115; 1015 sliding along each vertical support upright 20.
  • the towed carriages 15; 115; 1015 are superposed on each other vertically along each upright 20.
  • the lower towed carriage 15; 115; 1015 is engageable by the towing carriage 14; 114; 1014 during the towing carriage's ascent phase along the respective vertical support upright 20 ( Figure 1a ).
  • Each towing carriage 14; 114; 1014 and each towed carriage 15; 115; 1015 are provided with sheet connection means 16; 116 suitable for connecting to one respective end of a horizontal sheet tensioning element 12.
  • each sheet tensioning element 12 is made up of a tie-rod.
  • Tie-rod means, as a mechanical definition, an element which works in traction and which, on the other hand, does not pose compression resistance and poses hardly any torsion resistance.
  • each tie-rod 12 at rest i.e. not subject to the force of the wind, is subjected to the load required to give the sheet the desired geometry in the presence of wind.
  • the tie-rods do not yield axially as they are not elastic.
  • the sheet 10 lies in a plane perpendicular to the floor with the tie-rods 12 lying in their seats formed, for example, in the pockets 13, and forming a curve facing downward; in the presence of wind, the curves drawn by the tie-rods rotate in a plane parallel to the floor, giving the sheet the form of a sail ( figure 2 ).
  • the tie-rods 12, at rest, are thus subjected to a suitable pre-tensioning, sized according to the displacement that one desires to give to the sheet in the presence of wind.
  • Such pre-tensioning of the tie-rods 12 is however chosen in such a way that, in the absence of wind or with very low wind, the traction force exerted on the carriages does not generate particularly significant frictions from sliding along the respective uprights.
  • the pre-tensioning of the tie-rods 12 is the minimum necessary to ensure, in the absence of wind, that the friction between the carriages and the uprights is sufficient to cause the carriages to roll along their respective uprights.
  • the length of the tie-rods is greater than the distance between the connecting points of the ends of the tie-rods on the relative carriages so that, in the absence of wind, the load exerted on the carriages is almost null and is given by the minimum pre-tensioning of the tie-rods; in the presence of a load exerted by the wind on the surface of the sheet, however, the tie rods stretch to the extent permitted by their length and transfer the load of the wind to the respective carriages.
  • the tie-rods are not elastic, or in any case they have a negligible elastic modulus. Therefore, in the presence of wind load on the sheet, the tie-rods stretch to the extent permitted exclusively or almost exclusively by their greater length relative to the distance between the carriages and not by their elastic deformation, other than to a negligible extent.
  • the substantial absence of elasticity of the tie-rods prevents the sheet, in the presence of wind, from being excessively deformed radially or "bulging" excessively, causing an obstacle to persons or things close to the industrial door.
  • the tie-rods' substantial absence of elasticity involves transferring to the carriages all of the load exerted by the wind on the sheet.
  • this load transfer is not a problem, also due to the way the carriages are coupled to their respective uprights, which will be described hereinafter.
  • the surface of the sheet subjected to the action of the wind is progressively reduced, thus limiting the load to be transferred to the carriages.
  • the length of the tie-rods is about 5-10% greater than the distance between the connecting points to the respective carriages.
  • good compromises are obtained between a small difference in length, which gives the tie-rods the pre-tensioning required to ensure a correct rolling of the carriages along their respective uprights and contains the transverse bulk of the sheet in the presence of wind, and an increased difference in length, which instead allows, due to a wide curvature of the tie-rods in the presence of a transverse load, for the axial load acting on the carriages to be reduced.
  • each tie-rod 12 is connected to respective towing or towed carriages by means of ring connection elements 17.
  • the sheet connection means 16; 116 are adjustable in length when setting up the industrial door, for example, by a threaded connection between their two axial portions, so as to adjust the total length of the tie-rods.
  • the tie-rods are made with an element selected from: rope, strap, steel strap or synthetic fiber cable, e.g. Dyneema®.
  • each lateral support upright 20 comprises a tubular guide element 21 extending substantially for the entire height of the industrial door 1.
  • a towing carriage 14 is mounted slidably along each tubular guide element 21.
  • a plurality of towed carriages 15 are also slidably mounted along each tubular guide element 21.
  • the towed carriages 15 are superposed on each other vertically along each tubular guide element 21.
  • the lower towed carriage 15 is engageable by the towing carriage 14 during the towing carriage's 14 ascent phase along the respective tubular guide element 21.
  • Each towing carriage 14 comprises a carriage pulling device 22 operable to translate vertically along the respective tubular guide element 21.
  • a carriage pulling device 22 is suitable to pull the towing carriage 14 at least in the direction from the bottom to the top along the tubular guide element 21.
  • Each carriage pulling device 22 comprises a pulling element 23 operable to translate axially within the respective tubular guide element 21, and an outer slide 24 operatively connected to the pulling element 23 so as to slide along the tubular guide element 21 following the translation of the pulling element 23.
  • the outer slide 24 is configured to support a portion of the towing carriage 14 at least in the ascent phase.
  • the pulling element 23 and the respective outer slide 24 are connected to each other by magnetic coupling.
  • each tubular guide element 21 has a substantially circular cross-section.
  • the pulling element 23 has a substantially cylindrical shape and the outer slide 24 has a substantially annular shape, coaxial with the pulling element 23.
  • the pulling element 23 comprises one or more magnetic elements that generate a magnetic field that closes on one or more magnetic or ferromagnetic elements of the outer slide 24.
  • the pulling element 23 comprises at least one central magnetic element 231 and two end polar expansions 232.
  • the central magnetic element 231 has substantially a radial magnetization, i.e. it has a first polarity on at least one of its outer annular portions.
  • the end polar expansions 232 have a second polarity, opposite the first, at least on one of their outer annular portions.
  • the pulling element 23 is, relative to the longitudinal axis, a tripolar unit of the South-North-South or North-South-North type.
  • the outer slide 24 comprises at least one outer magnetic unit 241 of a substantially annular shape coaxial to the pulling element 23.
  • This external magnetic unit 241 comprises an annular magnetic element 242 and a cylindrical polar expansion 243.
  • the annular magnetic element 242 surrounds the central magnetic element 231; the cylindrical pole expansion 243 surrounds the annular magnetic element 242 and ends with end flanges 244 surrounding the end polar expansions 232.
  • the annular magnetic element 242 is radially magnetized and has the second polarity on an inner annular portion thereof.
  • the end flanges 244 have the first polarity at least on an annular portion thereof facing towards the end polar expansions 232.
  • the annular magnetic element 242 has an axial extension substantially equal to that of the central magnetic element 231 and is radially magnetized so as to generate, between said central magnetic element 231 and the annular magnetic element 242, a magnetic field with mainly radial lines of force which tend to radially attract the two elements.
  • the internal pulling element 23 Due to the cylindrical configuration and the magnetization of the pulling element 23 and the outer slide 24, and due to the circular cross-section of the tubular guide element 21, the internal pulling element 23 is practically “suspended", that is, in equilibrium with the forces inside the tubular guide element 21. In this way, the contact and rubbing friction of the two magnetic units with the tubular guide element 21 is minimal, resulting in advantages with regard to pulling efficiency.
  • the contact surfaces of the pulling element 23 and the slide 24 with the tubular guide element 21 are covered with respective sliding rings with a low friction coefficient.
  • each tubular guide element 21 and the respective pulling element 23 form a piston-cylinder assembly that may be fluidically connected to a control circuit.
  • the pulling element 23 forms a rodless piston suitable to translate inside the tubular guide element 21 under the action of a control fluid, such as compressed air.
  • the pulling element 23 divides the chamber delimited by the tubular guide element 21 into an ascent chamber portion 21' and into a descent chamber portion 21".
  • control circuit comprises a compressed air generator 25 and an operable solenoid valve 26 so as to send pressurized air at least into the ascent chamber portion 21' which, when pressurized, pushes the pulling element 23 upwards, and discharges the other descent chamber portion 21".
  • the solenoid valve 26 is operable to send pressurized air also in the descent chamber portion 21" to control the descending movement of the pulling element 23.
  • control circuit further comprises, along the tubes connecting the solenoid valve 26 to the tubular guide element 21, flow regulators 27 suitable to permit an adjustment of the ascending and descending speeds of the pulling element 23, and hence of the towing carriage 14.
  • each towing carriage 14 comprises at least one substantially annular upper portion 28 defining a lower support surface for the outer slide 24 during the ascent phase.
  • each towing carriage 14 further comprises a substantially annular lower portion 29 integral with the upper portion 28 and defining an upper surface for supporting the outer slide 24 in the descent phase.
  • the outer slide 24 is positioned between the lower 29 and upper 28 portions of the towing carriage 14.
  • the upper 28 and lower 29 portions of the towing carriage 14 are connected to each other by a connecting plate 30 to which the sheet connection means 16 are attached.
  • the carriage pulling device 22 is not subject to any traction force and is free to perform only the pulling function of the respective carriage 14.
  • the pulling devices 22 are not subjected to frictional forces resulting from the traction load of the sheet.
  • the towed carriages 15 are identical to each other and consist of a simple annular element, for example, with dimensions like the upper 28 and lower 29 portions of the pulling carriage 14.
  • a longitudinal stiffening fin 31 extends from the side wall of each tubular guide element 21, suitable to anchor to the respective side wall 3, which laterally delimits the opening of the industrial door.
  • the towed carriages 15 and the part of the towing carriages 14 sliding on the outer surface of the tubular guide elements 21 have a "C" shape.
  • variants of embodiment of the industrial door will now be described, collectively indicated at 100; 1000, which differ from the industrial door 1 described previously due to a different construction of the sheet's moving and supporting structure 105; 1005.
  • These embodiments of the structure for moving and supporting the sheet are particularly suitable for very wide doors where the simple tubular guide element of the carriages may not be sufficient to support the load of the sheet, for example in the case of strong wind.
  • Each vertical support upright 20 has an "H"-shaped cross-section, i.e. formed by a first wall 202 facing the sheet 10 and oriented perpendicularly to the plane whereon the sheet 10 lies when it is fully extended, by a second wall 204 perpendicular to the first and extending from the median line of the first wall 202, and by a third wall 206 parallel to the first and suitable to anchor the upright to the side wall 3.
  • a towing carriage 114 is slidably mounted on each upright 20.
  • each upright 20 is slidably mounted towed carriages 115.
  • the towed carriages 115 are superposed on each other vertically along each upright 20.
  • the towing carriage 114 is positioned below the lower towed carriage 115.
  • the lower towed carriage 115 is engageable by the towing carriage 114 during the ascent phase of the towing carriage 114 along the respective vertical support upright 20.
  • the towed carriages 115 are identical to each other.

  • Each towing carriage 114 and each towed carriage 115 is further provided with upright coupling means 134 suitable to transfer the traction load exerted on the carriage by the respective tie-rod 12 onto the respective vertical support upright 20.
  • the moving and supporting structure 105; 1005 further comprises, for each line of carriages 114, 115 of an upright 20, a carriage pulling device 110 operable to translate vertically.
  • Each pulling device 110 is suitable to pull the towing carriage 114 at least in the downward-facing direction along the vertical support upright 20.
  • Each pulling device 110 is positionable between the respective vertical support upright 20 and the sheet connection means 116.
  • the entire load exerted on the structure 105; 1005 by the sheet 10 through the tie-rods 12 is absorbed by the towing carriages 114 and the towed carriages 115 and transferred from the carriages to the uprights 20 through the upright coupling means 134.
  • the carriage pulling devices 110 are not subject to any traction force and are free to perform only the carriage lifting function.
  • the pulling devices 110 are not subjected to frictional forces deriving from the traction load of the sheet.
  • the first vertical wall 202 defines, from the part facing the side wall 3, a carriage support surface 202' orthogonal to the direction of the traction force exerted by the tie-rod 12.

  • anti-rotation members 136 are therefore not active during the normal sliding of the carriages, as there is play between them and the second vertical wall 204. However, in the case of a strong transverse load on the sheet, for example due to strong gusts of wind, the anti-rotation members 136 limit the rotation of the carriages around the vertical sliding axis, thus containing the sliding frictions along the upright 20.
