Description

In particular, the present invention relates to an exact positioning of the turnstile by means of an electric drive to a predefined rotational position.

Bekannt sind Karusselltüranordnungen, welchen einen Asynchronmotor mit nachgeschaltetem Getriebe aufweisen. Hierbei kommt typischerweise ein mehrstufiges Getriebe (z. B. Schneckenradgetriebe, Zahnriemenstufen) zum Einsatz. Zum Antreiben des Drehkreuzes der Karusselltüranordnung wird eine Vielzahnwelle genutzt, die fest mit der Antriebseinheit verbunden ist. Dieses Antriebssystem wird zuerst in die Deckenkonstruktion eingebaut. Anschließend wird das Drehkreuz inklusive der Türflügel montiert. Bislang wurden bei Karusselltürantrieben externe Frequenzumrichter eingesetzt. Hierbei war eine gewisse Anzahl festvorgegebener Drehgeschwindigkeiten einstellbar. Es war jedoch nicht möglich, Drehgeschwindigkeiten zwischen zwei fest vorgegebenen Drehgeschwindigkeiten einzustellen. Da hierdurch nur eine beschränkte Anzahl fester Drehgeschwindigkeiten bei der Türsteuerung und insbesondere bei der Positionierung des angegebenen Drehkreuzes möglich waren, war eine hochpräzise Steuerung und Positionierung des Drehkreuzes sehr schwierig.Revolving door arrangements are known which have an asynchronous motor with a downstream transmission. A multi-stage gear (e.g. worm gear, toothed belt stages) is typically used here. To drive the turnstile of the revolving door arrangement, a multi-tooth shaft is used, which is firmly connected to the drive unit. This drive system is first built into the ceiling structure. Then the turnstile including the door wing is installed. So far, external frequency converters have been used for revolving door drives. Here, a certain number of predefined rotational speeds could be set. However, it was not possible to set rotational speeds between two fixed rotational speeds. Since this only allowed a limited number of fixed turning speeds for the door control and in particular for the positioning of the specified turnstile, high-precision control and positioning of the turnstile was very difficult.

Entsprechend wird die Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren zum Positionieren eines Drehkreuzes einer Karusselltüranordnung gelöst. Das Drehkreuz umfasst zumindest zwei, bevorzugt drei, vier, fünf oder mehr Türflügel und ist um eine Drehachse drehbar, wobei entlang der Drehachse eine Axialrichtung und senkrecht zur Axialrichtung eine Radialrichtung definiert sind. Die Karusselltüranordnung umfasst einen elektrischen Antrieb, welcher beispielsweise als elektronisch kommutierter Vielpolmotor mit einem Stator umfassend ein Statorblechpaket und mehreren Spulen und einen Rotor umfassend ein Rotorblechpaket und mehrere Permanentmagneten ausgebildet ist. Der Rotor ist koaxial zur Drehachse anordenbar und mit dem Drehkreuz zum direkten, getriebelosen Antrieb verbindbar. Eine Auswerteeinheit ist eingerichtet, logische Schritte für den Betrieb der Karusselltüranordnung auszuführen. Die Auswerteeinheit kann als elektronisches Steuergerät verstanden werden. Sie kann einen programmierbaren Prozessor, einen Mikrokontroller o.ä. aufweisen. Das Verfahren umfasst zumindest die folgenden Schritte: Zunächst wird eine Soll-Halteposition des Türflügels ermittelt. Üblicherweise sind Soll-Haltepositionen für den Türflügel z.B. stets so gewählt, dass eine maximale Anzahl Türflügel in Kontakt mit den Pfosten einer die Karusselltüranordnung umgebenden Trommel aufweist. Auf diese Weise werden maximale Geräusch- und Wärmeisolationswerte erzielt. Da diese Positionen wiederkehrend definiert sind, genügt die Definition einer der streng genommen unterschiedlichen Drehpositionen als Soll-Halteposition. Anschließend wird der Stator des Antriebs mit einem ersten elektrischen Signal angesteuert, mittels dessen der Rotor/Türflügel an der Soll-Halteposition zum Stillstand gelangt. Hierzu können eine Spannung und/oder ein Strom und/oder eine Amplitude und/oder eine Frequenz und/oder ein Puls-Pause-Verhältnis (im Falle eines pulsweitenmodulierten Signals (PWM-Signal) geregelt werden. Dieser Vorgang kann als Grobpositionierung des Türflügels beziehungsweise des Drehkreuzes verstanden werden. Anschließend wird eine Abweichung der aktuellen Position des Türflügels von der Soll-Halteposition ermittelt. Mit anderen Worten wird ermittelt, dass die Drehposition des Drehkreuzes nicht hinreichend mit der Soll-Halteposition übereinstimmt. Dies kann beispielsweise mittels eines Positionssensors ermittelt werden. Anschließend wird der Stator mit einem zweiten elektrischen Signal angesteuert, mittels dessen der Türflügel in die Soll-Halteposition gelangt. Insbesondere kann hierzu eine Drehrichtung des Drehkreuzes umgekehrt werden. Mit anderen Worten erfolgt die Grobpositionierung (z.B. aus voller Fahrt) in einer ersten Drehrichtung, während nach dem Ermitteln der Abweichung der aktuellen Position des Drehkreuzes von der Soll-Halteposition die Drehrichtung des Drehkreuzes umgekehrt wird. Auch das zweite elektrische Signal kann hinsichtlich einer Spannung, eines Stroms, einer Amplitude sowie einer Frequenz vordefiniert sein.Accordingly, the object is achieved by a method for positioning a turnstile of a revolving door arrangement. The turnstile comprises at least two, preferably three, four, five or more door leaves and can be rotated about an axis of rotation, an axial direction being defined along the axis of rotation and a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The revolving door arrangement comprises an electric drive, which is designed, for example, as an electronically commutated multi-pole motor with a stator comprising a stator laminated core and several coils and a rotor comprising a rotor laminated core and several permanent magnets. The rotor can be arranged coaxially to the axis of rotation and connected to the turnstile for direct, gearless drive. An evaluation unit is set up to carry out logical steps for the operation of the revolving door arrangement. The evaluation unit can be understood as an electronic control unit. You can programmable processor, a microcontroller or similar exhibit. The method comprises at least the following steps: First, a target holding position of the door leaf is determined. Normally, target holding positions for the door leaf, for example, are always selected such that a maximum number of door leaves has in contact with the posts of a drum surrounding the revolving door arrangement. In this way, maximum noise and heat insulation values are achieved. Since these positions are defined recurring, it is sufficient to define one of the strictly different rotational positions as the target stop position. The stator of the drive is then controlled with a first electrical signal, by means of which the rotor / door leaf comes to a standstill at the desired stop position. For this purpose, a voltage and / or a current and / or an amplitude and / or a frequency and / or a pulse-pause ratio (in the case of a pulse-width-modulated signal (PWM signal) can be regulated. This process can be carried out as a rough positioning of the door leaf or The deviation of the current position of the door leaf from the target stop position is then determined. In other words, it is determined that the rotational position of the turnstile does not sufficiently match the target stop position. This can be determined, for example, using a position sensor. The stator is then actuated with a second electrical signal, by means of which the door leaf arrives in the desired stop position. In particular, a direction of rotation of the turnstile can be reversed. In other words, the rough positioning (eg from full speed) takes place in a first direction of rotation while after determining the dev Verification of the current position of the turnstile from the target stop position, the direction of rotation of the turnstile is reversed. The second electrical signal can also be predefined with regard to a voltage, a current, an amplitude and a frequency.

Beispielsweise ergibt sich für das zweite elektrische Signal die Möglichkeit, über ein Puls-Pause-Verhältnis eines PWM-Signals geeignete Kräfte auf den Rotor des elektrischen Antriebs zu erzeugen, um den Rotor beziehungsweise den Türflügel zurück in die Soll-Halteposition zu bringen. Optional kann hierbei eine kontinuierliche Nachregelung gestartet werden, durch welche sichergestellt wird, dass die Soll-Halteposition bestmöglich durch die reale Türflügelanordnung abgebildet wird.For example, for the second electrical signal there is the possibility of generating suitable forces on the rotor of the electrical drive via a pulse-pause ratio of a PWM signal in order to bring the rotor or the door leaf back into the desired holding position. Optionally, a continuous readjustment can be started here, which ensures that the target stop position is best mapped by the real door leaf arrangement.

Bevorzugt kann das zweite elektrische Signal eine (insbesondere im Wesentlichen lineare) Abhängigkeit von einer Abweichung der Position des Türflügels von der Soll-Halteposition aufweisen. Die Abhängigkeit kann auch eine progressive Abhängigkeit des zweiten elektrischen Signals von der Abweichung zwischen Soll- und Ist-Position des Türflügels aufweisen. Hierdurch kann die Soll-Halteposition schneller erreicht werden.The second electrical signal can preferably have a (in particular essentially linear) dependency on a deviation of the position of the door leaf from the target holding position. The dependency can also have a progressive dependency of the second electrical signal on the deviation between the target and actual position of the door leaf. As a result, the target stop position can be reached more quickly.

Beispielsweise kann ein PI-Regler für die Feinpositionierung des Türflügels verwendet werden. Mit anderen Worten führt gemäß einem Proportional-Anteil des Reglers ein doppelter Winkel zwischen der Soll- und der Ist-Halteposition zu einem doppelt so großen Moment auf den Antrieb des Rotors. Hierzu kann beispielsweise eine doppelte Stromstärke durch den Stator des Antriebs geführt, eine doppelt so hohe Spannung an seine Anschlüsse angelegt o.ä. werden. Der I-Anteil (integrierender Regler, I-Glied) wirkt durch zeitliche Integration der Abweichung zwischen der Soll- und der Ist-Halteposition auf die Stellgröße (mit der Gewichtung durch die Nachstellzeit).For example, a PI controller can be used for fine positioning of the door leaf. In other words, according to a proportional part of the controller, a double angle between the target and the actual stop position leads to a torque that is twice as great on the drive of the rotor. For this purpose, for example, a double current can be passed through the stator of the drive, a voltage twice as high applied to its connections or the like. become. The I component (integrating controller, I element) acts on the manipulated variable by integrating the deviation between the setpoint and the actual stop position over time (with the weighting by the reset time).

Als Positionssensor für die Ermittlung der Rotorposition beziehungsweise der Drehkreuzposition kann ein am Rotor angeordneter Magnet als Geber in Verbindung mit einem am Stator angeordneten Nehmer verwendet werde. Beispielsweise kann ein Hallsensor am Stator angeordnet werden. Dies schließt nicht aus, dass mehrere Hallsensoren beziehungsweise Positionssensoren über den Umfang des Stators verteilt werden. Entsprechendes gilt für den Geber (z. B. einen Permanentmagneten) am Umfang des Rotors. Dieser zusätzliche Magnet am Rotor dient zur Kennzeichnung der absoluten Position, da das eigentliche Positionssystem ein Relatives ist. In Abhängigkeit der Position des Rotors kann ein Parameter beziehungsweise können mehrere Parameter des ersten und/oder des zweiten elektrischen Signals ausgewählt werden.As a position sensor for determining the rotor position or the turnstile position, a magnet arranged on the rotor can be used as a transmitter in connection with a slave arranged on the stator will. For example, a Hall sensor can be arranged on the stator. This does not rule out that several Hall sensors or position sensors are distributed over the circumference of the stator. The same applies to the encoder (e.g. a permanent magnet) on the circumference of the rotor. This additional magnet on the rotor is used to identify the absolute position, since the actual position system is a relative one. Depending on the position of the rotor, one parameter or several parameters of the first and / or the second electrical signal can be selected.

Sofern ermittelt wird, dass beim Anlegen des ersten elektrischen Signals die Soll-Position durch den Türflügel überfahren wurde beziehungsweise dass der Türflügel durch eine externe Kraft (z.B. Wind, einen Anwender o.ä.) die Soll-Position überfahren hat, kann im Ansprechen auf die Erkenntnis des Vorgenannten ein Parameter des ersten elektrischen Signals zur Erzeugung des zweiten elektrischen Signals umgekehrt werden. Bei geeigneter Wahl des Parameters wird hierdurch auch die Rotationsrichtung des Rotors umgekehrt und das Drehkreuz zurück in die Soll-Position gebracht.If it is determined that the target position was exceeded by the door leaf when the first electrical signal was applied or that the door leaf exceeded the target position by an external force (e.g. wind, a user or the like), the response may be the knowledge of the above a parameter of the first electrical signal for generating the second electrical signal can be reversed. With a suitable choice of the parameter, this also reverses the direction of rotation of the rotor and brings the turnstile back into the desired position.

Sofern die auf den Türflügel wirkende Kraft eine vordefinierte Kraft überschreitet und/oder die aktuelle Türflügelposition um einen vordefinierten Winkelbereich von der bisherigen Soll-Halteposition abweicht (z. B. selbige Soll-Halteposition um einen vordefinierten Winkelbereich überfahren hat) kann im Ansprechen auf die vorstehend beschriebene Erkenntnis eine zur Soll-Halteposition nächstgelegene Position des Drehkreuzes mit entsprechender Türflügelstellung als neue Soll-Halteposition definiert werden. Mit anderen Worten wird ein bei fortwährender Drehung als nächstes an der bisherigen Soll-Halteposition angeordneter Türflügel an der bisherigen Soll-Halteposition zum Stillstand gebracht, wodurch der bisher betrachtete Türflügel an einer um den Winkelbereich zwischen zwei benachbarten Türflügeln nächstgelegenen Soll-Position angeordnet wird. Hierdurch kann einerseits vermieden werden, dass eine gewaltsame (missbräuchliche) Drehung des Drehkreuzes zu einer Überlastung des Antriebs führt und andererseits kürzest mögliche Wege bis zu einer jeweils vordefinierten Soll-Halteposition des Drehkreuzes bestehen.If the force acting on the door leaf exceeds a predefined force and / or the current door leaf position deviates from the previous target stop position by a predefined angular range (e.g. the same target stop position has exceeded a predefined angular range), in response to the above Insight described a position of the turnstile closest to the target stop position with corresponding door leaf position can be defined as the new target stop position. In other words, if the door is rotated continuously at the previous desired stop position, it will come to a standstill at the previous desired stop position brought, whereby the previously considered door leaf is arranged at a target position closest to the angular range between two adjacent door leaves. In this way, it can be avoided, on the one hand, that a violent (improper) rotation of the turnstile leads to an overload of the drive and, on the other hand, there are the shortest possible routes to a predefined target stop position of the turnstile.

Sofern der Anwenderwunsch beziehungsweise ein Betriebszustand die Notwendigkeit vordefiniert, dass Drehkreuz an der Soll-Halteposition dauerhaft anzuordnen, kann ein Triggersignal erzeugt und ermittelt werden, im Ansprechen auf welches eine absolut nächstgelegene (wiederkehrend definierte) vordefinierte Türflügelstellung als Soll-Halteposition definiert wird. Insbesondere aus dem Stand kann also eine Drehung des Drehkreuzes in einer bisherigen Drehrichtung oder entgegen der bisherigen Drehrichtung die Anordnung in der Soll-Halteposition herbeiführen. Alternativ kann eine in einer bisherigen Drehrichtung nächstgelegene (wiederkehrend definierte) vordefinierte Türflügelstellung als Soll-Halteposition definiert werden. Insbesondere kann dies aus einem Betriebszustand (einer Rotation) der Karusselltüranordnung heraus vorteilhaft sein, um eine Bewegungsrichtungsumkehr mit entsprechend erforderlichem Energiebedarf und eine Verwirrung seitens des Anwenders aufgrund der Drehrichtungsumkehr zu vermeiden.If the user request or an operating state predefines the need to permanently arrange the turnstile at the target stop position, a trigger signal can be generated and determined in response to which an absolutely closest (recurring defined) predefined door leaf position is defined as the target stop position. In particular, from a standing position, a rotation of the turnstile in a previous direction of rotation or counter to the previous direction of rotation can bring about the arrangement in the desired stop position. Alternatively, a predefined door leaf position that is closest (in a previously defined direction of rotation) can be defined as the target stop position. In particular, this can be advantageous from an operating state (a rotation) of the revolving door arrangement in order to avoid a reversal of the direction of movement with a correspondingly required energy requirement and to avoid confusion on the part of the user due to the reversal of the direction of rotation.

Die erfindungsgemäß ermöglichte Positionierung in Drehrichtung beziehungsweise entgegen der Drehrichtung ermöglicht eine besonders rasche Positionierung des Drehkreuzes in Soll-Halteposition. Insbesondere durch die Möglichkeit, aus dem Stand eine absolut nächstgelegene vordefinierte Türflügelstellung als Soll-Halteposition anzufahren, verkürzt die erforderlichen Wege und vermeidet unnötigen Verschleiß und Energieaufwand. Zudem kann auf unerwünschte Einflüsse auf die aktuelle Türflügelstellung beziehungsweise Drehkreuzposition durch Wind, Tiere und Anwender rasch und zuverlässig reagiert werden.The positioning made possible according to the invention in the direction of rotation or counter to the direction of rotation enables the turnstile to be positioned particularly quickly in the desired holding position. In particular, the ability to approach an absolutely closest predefined door leaf position from a standing position as the target stop position shortens the required distances and avoids unnecessary ones Wear and energy consumption. In addition, unwanted influences on the current door leaf position or turnstile position by wind, animals and users can be reacted to quickly and reliably.

Während im Stand der Technik üblicherweise drei feste Frequenzen (Drehzahlen) für das Drehkreuz möglich sind, sind im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung (insbesondere durch die Verwendung von pulsweitenmodulierten elektrischen Signalen zur Ansteuerung des Antriebs) Zwischenstufen beziehungsweise kontinuierliche Antriebsmomente und -geschwindigkeiten möglich. Hierzu ist auch die erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagene Positionssensorik (z.B. unter Verwendung von im Stator des Antriebs angeordneten Hallsensoren in Verbindung mit dem Magnetfeld des Rotors) vorteilhaft.While three fixed frequencies (speeds) are usually possible for the turnstile in the prior art, intermediate stages or continuous drive torques and speeds are possible within the scope of the present invention (in particular by using pulse-width-modulated electrical signals to control the drive). For this purpose, the position sensor system proposed according to the invention (e.g. using Hall sensors arranged in the stator of the drive in connection with the magnetic field of the rotor) is also advantageous.

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung können interne Frequenzumrichter eingesetzt werden, die frei parametrierbar sind. Hierdurch sind die Drehgeschwindigkeit und die Drehmomente frei und variabel einstellbar. Hieraus ergibt sich - in Verbindung mit der Hallsensor-Sensorik - eine hohe Positioniergenauigkeit. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Karusselltüranordnung kann die Positionierung in zwei Phasen unterteilt sein. Die erste Phase besteht in einem Anfahren der Zielposition. Die zweite Phase besteht in einer Fixierung der Zielposition. Die Regelung erfolgt während der ersten Phase aus der Bewegung (Rotation), während der zweiten Phase aus dem Stillstand. Insbesondere kann in der zweiten Phase auf eine Regelabweichung reagiert werden und das Drehkreuz auch entgegen der bisherigen Drehrichtung bewegt werden.Within the scope of the present invention, internal frequency converters can be used, which can be freely parameterized. As a result, the speed of rotation and the torques are freely and variably adjustable. This results in high positioning accuracy - in conjunction with the Hall sensor sensor system. In the revolving door arrangement according to the invention, the positioning can be divided into two phases. The first phase consists of moving to the target position. The second phase consists of fixing the target position. Regulation takes place during the first phase from movement (rotation), during the second phase from standstill. In particular, a reaction to a control deviation can be reacted to in the second phase and the turnstile can also be moved against the previous direction of rotation.

Gemäß einem zweiten Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung wird eine Karusselltüranordnung mit einem Drehkreuz mit zumindest zwei Türflügeln, einer Auswerteeinheit und einem elektrischen Antrieb mit einem Stator und einem Rotor vorgeschlagen. Die Auswerteeinheit kann als elektronisches Steuergerät, Mikrokontroller, programmierbarer Prozessor o.ä. ausgestaltet sein. Die Hardware der Karusselltüranordnung kann entsprechend den vorstehenden Ausführungen ausgestaltet sein. Die Auswerteeinheit ist eingerichtet, eine Soll-Halteposition des Türflügels zu ermitteln. Zudem kann sie den Stator mit einem ersten elektrischen Signal, mittels dessen der Türflügel an der Soll-Halteposition zum Stillstand gelangt, ansteuern. Die Auswerteeinheit ist zudem eingerichtet, eine Abweichung der aktuellen Position des Türflügels von der Soll-Halteposition zu ermitteln und den Stator anschließend mit einem zweiten elektrischen Signal anzusteuern, mittels dessen der Türflügel zurück in die Soll-Halteposition gelangt. Mit anderen Worten ist die erfindungsgemäße Karusselltüranordnung eingerichtet, ein Verfahren auszuführen, wie es in Verbindung mit dem erstgenannten Erfindungsaspekt oben im Detail beschrieben worden ist. Die Merkmale, Merkmalskombinationen und die sich aus diesen ergebenden Vorteile entsprechen derart ersichtlich denjenigen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens, dass zur Vermeidung von Wiederholungen auf die obigen Ausführungen verwiesen wird.According to a second aspect of the present invention, a revolving door arrangement with a turnstile with at least two door leaves, an evaluation unit and an electric drive is included proposed a stator and a rotor. The evaluation unit can be used as an electronic control unit, microcontroller, programmable processor or the like. be designed. The hardware of the revolving door arrangement can be designed in accordance with the above statements. The evaluation unit is set up to determine a target stop position of the door leaf. In addition, it can control the stator with a first electrical signal, by means of which the door leaf comes to a standstill at the desired stop position. The evaluation unit is also set up to determine a deviation of the current position of the door leaf from the target holding position and then to control the stator with a second electrical signal, by means of which the door leaf returns to the target holding position. In other words, the revolving door arrangement according to the invention is set up to carry out a method as described in detail above in connection with the first-mentioned aspect of the invention. The features, combinations of features and the advantages resulting from these correspond so clearly to those of the method according to the invention that reference is made to the above statements in order to avoid repetitions.

Der Stator des elektrischen Antriebs kann zur feststehenden Montage vorgesehen sein. Insbesondere kann er eingerichtet sein, an einer Decke (z. B. eine abgehängte Decke und/oder eine Betondecke) befestigt zu werden. Der Stator kann derart auf der Achse des Türkreuzes angeordnet sein, dass er gemeinsam mit dem Rotor einen koaxial zur Achse des Drehkreuzes angeordneten Luftspalt ausbildet. Mit anderen Worten ist bevorzugt kein Getriebe zwischen dem Antrieb und dem Drehkreuz vorgesehen. Im Ergebnis ist eine spielfreie kinematische Beziehung zwischen dem Antrieb und dem Drehkreuz gegeben.The stator of the electric drive can be provided for fixed assembly. In particular, it can be set up to be fastened to a ceiling (for example a suspended ceiling and / or a concrete ceiling). The stator can be arranged on the axis of the door cross such that, together with the rotor, it forms an air gap arranged coaxially to the axis of the turnstile. In other words, no gear is preferably provided between the drive and the turnstile. The result is a play-free kinematic relationship between the drive and the turnstile.

Die Karusselltüranordnung kann weiter einen Frequenzumrichter aufweisen, welcher bevorzugt auch die Auswerteeinheit und eine Endstufe zur Ansteuerung des elektrischen Antriebs aufweist. Die Auswerteeinheit ist eingerichtet, durch eine Pulsweitenmodulation einen Parameter eines elektrischen Signals zur Ansteuerung des elektrischen Antriebs zu realisieren. Der Frequenzumrichter ist eingerichtet, in Abhängigkeit des pulsweitenmodulierten Signals die Endstufe mit einer mehrphasigen Repräsentation des elektrischen Signals anzusteuern. Mit anderen Worten kann ein Leistungssignal mittels der Endstufe erzeugt werden, welches eine Bestromung des Antriebs in Abhängigkeit eines Ausgangssignals der Auswerteeinheit ermöglicht. Die zum Betrieb der erfindungsgemäßen Karusselltüranordnung erforderlichen Komponenten können somit bestmöglich aufeinander abgestimmt sein. Bevorzugt können sie in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse angeordnet sein. Das Gehäuse kann den Frequenzumrichter, die Endstufe und die Auswerteeinheit umfassen. Das Gehäuse kann einen (insbesondere gemeinsamen) Anschluss für eine Betriebsspannung der vorgenannten Komponenten aufweisen. Insbesondere kann auch der Antrieb über die Betriebsspannung mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden.The revolving door arrangement can furthermore have a frequency converter, which preferably also has the evaluation unit and an output stage for controlling the electric drive. The evaluation unit is set up to implement a parameter of an electrical signal for controlling the electrical drive by means of pulse width modulation. The frequency converter is set up to control the output stage with a multi-phase representation of the electrical signal as a function of the pulse-width-modulated signal. In other words, a power signal can be generated by means of the output stage, which enables the drive to be energized as a function of an output signal from the evaluation unit. The components required for operating the revolving door arrangement according to the invention can thus be matched to one another in the best possible way. They can preferably be arranged in a common housing. The housing can include the frequency converter, the output stage and the evaluation unit. The housing can have a (in particular common) connection for an operating voltage of the aforementioned components. In particular, the drive can also be supplied with electrical energy via the operating voltage.

Die Auswerteeinheit kann eingerichtet sein, auf Basis eines Positionssensors im elektrischen Antrieb eine aktuelle Drehzahl, eine aktuelle Position und/oder eine aktuelle Geschwindigkeit des Drehkreuzes zu ermitteln. Der Positionssensor kann mindestens einen, bevorzugt zwei, insbesondere drei oder mehr Hallsensoren aufweisen. Die Positionssensorik kann zudem einen Geber auf dem Rotor des Antriebs aufweisen. Er kann ebenfalls eine magnetische Wirkungsweise (z.B. ein Permanentmagnet in Verbindung mit einem Hallsensor) aufweisen, welcher für die Bestimmung der absoluten Position des Drehkreuzes vorgesehen ist. Die Hallsensoren können insbesondere im Stator des elektrischen Antriebs angeordnet sein und eingerichtet sein, in Abhängigkeit eines mittels Permanentmagneten des Rotors erzeugten magnetischen Wechselfeldes ein Signal zu erzeugen, mithilfe dessen die Position, die Drehzahl und/oder die aktuelle Geschwindigkeit des Rotors (und somit des Drehkreuzes) zu ermitteln sind. Der elektrische Antrieb kann als bürstenloser Motor ausgeführt sein. Im Ergebnis ergeben sich ein hocheffizienter elektrischer Antrieb und eine exakte Positionierung des Rotors mittels des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens.The evaluation unit can be set up to determine a current speed, a current position and / or a current speed of the turnstile on the basis of a position sensor in the electric drive. The position sensor can have at least one, preferably two, in particular three or more Hall sensors. The position sensor system can also have an encoder on the rotor of the drive. It can also have a magnetic mode of operation (for example a permanent magnet in conjunction with a Hall sensor), which is provided for determining the absolute position of the turnstile. The Hall sensors can in particular in the stator of Electric drive can be arranged and set up to generate a signal as a function of a magnetic alternating field generated by means of permanent magnets of the rotor, by means of which the position, the speed and / or the current speed of the rotor (and thus of the turnstile) can be determined. The electric drive can be designed as a brushless motor. The result is a highly efficient electrical drive and an exact positioning of the rotor by means of the method according to the invention.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine isometrische Ansicht einer Karusselltüranordnung 1. Die Karusselltüranordnung 1 umfasst ein Drehkreuz 2. Dieses Drehkreuz 2 weist vier Türflügel 3 auf. Die Türflügel 3 sind jeweils um 90° zueinander abgewinkelt. Das Drehkreuz 2 ist um eine Drehachse 4 drehbar angeordnet. Die Drehachse 4 streckt sich in Axialrichtung 5. Senkrecht zur Axialrichtung 5 ist eine Radialrichtung 6 definiert. Um die Axialrichtung 5 ist eine Umfangsrichtung 7 definiert. Fig. 1 shows an isometric view of a revolving door arrangement 1.

Der Antrieb 8 umfasst einen Stator 10 und den Rotor 17. Wie Fig. 1 zeigt, ist der Antrieb 8 über dem Drehkreuz 2 angeordnet. Dabei befindet sich der Rotor 17 zwischen dem Drehkreuz 2 und dem Stator 10.The drive 8 comprises a stator 10 and the rotor 17 Fig. 1 shows, the drive 8 is arranged above the turnstile 2. The rotor 17 is located between the turnstile 2 and the stator 10.

Fig. 2 zeigt ein drehfest mit dem Rotor 17 verbundenes Verbindungselement, ausgebildet als Vielzahnwelle. Über dieses Verbindungselement ist das Drehkreuz 2 drehfest mit dem Rotor 17 verbunden. Fig. 2 shows a non-rotatably connected to the rotor 17 connecting element, designed as a multi-tooth shaft. The turnstile 2 is connected to the rotor 17 in a rotationally fixed manner via this connecting element.

Der Stator 10 umfasst eine Statorscheibe 12. Am äußeren Umfang der Statorscheibe 12 ist ein Statorblechpaket 11 angeordnet. Auf diesem Statorblechpaket 11 stecken die einzelnen Spulen 13 des Stators 10.The stator 10 comprises a stator disk 12. A stator laminated core 11 is arranged on the outer circumference of the stator disk 12. The individual coils 13 of the stator 10 are placed on this stator laminated core 11.

Jede Spule umfasst einen Spulenkörper 14, beispielsweise aus Kunststoff. Auf diesem Spulenkörper 14 befinden sich die Wicklungen 15 der einzelnen Spule 13.Each coil comprises a coil body 14, for example made of plastic. The windings 15 of the individual coil 13 are located on this coil former 14.

Der Rotor 17 umfasst eine Rotorscheibe 43. Diese Rotorscheibe 43 liegt der Statorscheibe 12 gegenüber. Zwischen den beiden Scheiben 43, 12 ist das Statorblechpaket 11 mit den Spulen 13 angeordnet. Am äußeren Umfang der Rotorscheibe 43 ist ein Rotorblechpaket 18 angeordnet. Radial innerhalb des Rotorblechpaketes 18 sind auf dem Rotorblechpaket 18 mehrere Permanentmagneten 19 angeordnet.The rotor 17 comprises a rotor disk 43. This rotor disk 43 lies opposite the stator disk 12. The stator laminated core 11 with the coils 13 is arranged between the two disks 43, 12. A rotor laminated core 18 is arranged on the outer circumference of the rotor disk 43. A plurality of permanent magnets 19 are arranged radially within the rotor lamination stack 18 on the rotor lamination stack 18.

Im Bereich der Drehachse 4 sind zwischen der Statorscheibe 12 und der Rotorscheibe 43 ein Axiallager 20 und ein Radiallager 21 ausgebildet. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind das Axiallager 20 und das Radiallager 21 als Gleitlager ausgebildet.In the area of the axis of rotation 4, an axial bearing 20 and a radial bearing 21 are formed between the stator disc 12 and the rotor disc 43. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the axial bearing 20 and the radial bearing 21 are designed as slide bearings.

In Fig. 2 ist weiter ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Frequenzumrichters 25 dargestellt, welcher über einen Anschluss 27 für eine Betriebsspannung verfügt. Innerhalb des Frequenzumrichters 25 sind eine Auswerteeinheit 9, ein Motor-IC 36 (integrierter Schaltkreis zur Antriebssteuerung) und eine Endstufe 26 zur Ansteuerung des Antriebs 8 vorgesehen. Die Auswerteeinheit 9, der Motor-IC 36 und die Endstufe 26 werden in Verbindung mit Fig. 5 eingehender diskutiert. Außen am Frequenzumrichter 25 ist ein Eingabemodul 35 angeordnet, mittels dessen unterschiedliche Eingaben durch einen Anwender entgegengenommen und Rückmeldungen an den Anwender ausgegeben werden können. Beispielsweise können die Soll-Haltepositionen und maximalen Kraftwirkungen, welche erfindungsgemäß ohne eine Neudefinition der Soll-Halteposition mittels des Antriebs zu kompensieren sind, festgelegt werden. Dies kann beispielsweise in Abhängigkeit der aktuell verwendeten Hardware erfolgen. Ein schwach dimensionierter elektrischer Antrieb wird somit nicht überlastet, während die Möglichkeiten eines stärkeren elektrischen Antriebes besser ausgenutzt werden können.In Fig. 2 Furthermore, an embodiment of a frequency converter 25 is shown, which has a connection 27 for an operating voltage. An evaluation unit 9, a motor IC 36 (integrated circuit for drive control) and an output stage 26 for controlling the drive 8 are provided within the frequency converter 25. The evaluation unit 9, the motor IC 36 and the output stage 26 are in connection with Fig. 5 discussed in more detail. An input module 35 is arranged on the outside of the frequency converter 25, by means of which different inputs can be received by a user and feedback can be output to the user. For example, the target stop positions and maximum force effects, which are to be compensated according to the invention without redefining the target stop position by means of the drive, can be defined. This can depend, for example, on the currently used one Hardware. A weakly dimensioned electric drive is therefore not overloaded, while the possibilities of a stronger electric drive can be better exploited.

Der Antrieb 8 weist Positionssensoren 28 in Form von Hallsensoren auf, welche am Umfang der Stators angeordnet sind. Die Positionssensoren 28 sind eingerichtet, (nicht dargestellte) Positionsgeber am (nicht dargestellten) Rotor zu erkennen und eine Drehposition des Antriebs 8 an die (nicht dargestellte) Auswerteeinheit zu melden.The drive 8 has position sensors 28 in the form of Hall sensors which are arranged on the circumference of the stator. The position sensors 28 are set up to identify position sensors (not shown) on the rotor (not shown) and to report a rotational position of the drive 8 to the evaluation unit (not shown).

In der dargestellten Anordnung des Drehkreuzes 2 ist der vordere Türflügel 3 an einer aktuellen Position 37 angeordnet. Die aktuelle Position 37 weicht von einer Soll-Position 38 weniger stark als von einer um 90° in mathematisch positiver Umfangsrichtung 7 gegenüber der Soll-Position verdreht angeordneten neuen Soll-Position 38' ab. Wenn sich die aktuelle Position 37 im Laufe eines mit Nenndrehzahl drehenden Drehkreuzes 2 ergibt, kann es energetisch und zeitlich sinnvoller sein, die neue Soll-Position 38' anzufahren, anstatt das Drehkreuz 2 zunächst elektrisch zu stoppen und anschließend entgegen der bisherigen Drehrichtung in die Soll-Halteposition 38 zu bringen. Wird hingegen angenommen, dass das Drehkreuz 2 in der dargestellten Position stillsteht, ist ersichtlich, dass ein Anfahren entgegen der bisherigen Drehrichtung zur Erreichung der Soll-Halteposition 38 ein geringerer energetischer Aufwand und Zeitaufwand zu betreiben ist, als die neue Soll-Halteposition 38' anzufahren. Eine entsprechende Fallunterscheidung kann in der Auswerteeinheit einer erfindungsgemäßen Karusselltüranordnung erfindungsgemäß vorgenommen werden, um eine zeitlich und energetisch günstige sowie verschleißarme Verfahrensweise zur Anordnung des Drehkreuzes in einer vordefinierten Soll-Halteposition beziehungsweise neuen Soll-Halteposition vorzunehmen.In the arrangement of the turnstile 2 shown, the front door leaf 3 is arranged at a current position 37. The current position 37 deviates less from a target position 38 than from a new target position 38 'which is rotated by 90 ° in the mathematically positive circumferential direction 7 with respect to the target position. If the current position 37 arises in the course of a turnstile 2 rotating at the nominal speed, it may make more energy and time sense to move to the new desired position 38 'instead of first stopping the turnstile 2 electrically and then contrary to the previous direction of rotation in the desired - Bring stop position 38. However, it is assumed that the turnstile 2 in the position shown stands still, it can be seen that starting against the previous direction of rotation to reach the target stop position 38 requires less energy and time than driving to the new target stop position 38 '. A corresponding case distinction can be made according to the invention in the evaluation unit of a revolving door arrangement according to the invention, in order to carry out a procedure for arranging the turnstile in a predefined target stop position or new target stop position which is favorable in terms of time, energy and wear.

Fig. 4 zeigt ein Flussdiagramm veranschaulichend Schritte eines Ausführungsbeispiels eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zum Positionieren eines Drehkreuzes einer Karusselltüranordnung. In Schritt S100 wird eine Soll-Halteposition des Türflügels ermittelt, beispielsweise kann hierzu während des Betriebs ein Trägersignal empfangen und ausgewertet werden, welches einen Anwenderwunsch oder eine betriebsbedingte Notwendigkeit zum Anhalten des Drehkreuzes repräsentiert. In Schritt S200 wird der Stator des elektrischen Antriebs der erfindungsgemäßen Karusselltüranordnung mit einem ersten elektrischen Signal angesteuert, mittels dessen der Türflügel an der Soll-Halteposition zum Stillstand gelangt. In Schritt S300 wird eine Abweichung der aktuellen Position des Türflügels von der Soll-Halteposition (insbesondere nach einem Anhalten des Drehkreuzes) ermittelt. Um die Soll-Halteposition exakt anzufahren, wird anschließend der Stator mit einem zweiten elektrischen Signal in Schritt S400 angesteuert, mittels dessen der Türflügel zurück in die Soll-Halteposition gelangt. Hierbei kann die Drehrichtung des Drehkreuzes gegenüber einer bisherigen Drehrichtung umgekehrt werden. In Schritt S500 wird eine anschließend auf den Türflügel wirkende Kraft ermittelt, welche eine vordefinierte Kraft überschreitet. Zudem wird in Schritt S600 eine Abweichung einer aktuellen Position des Türflügels von der Soll-Halteposition um einen vordefinierten Winkelbereich ermittelt und im Ansprechen darauf in Schritt S700 eine zur Soll-Halteposition nächstgelegene Position des Drehkreuzes mit entsprechender Türflügelstellung als neue Soll-Halteposition definiert. Anschließend kann entsprechend Schritt S400 der Stator mit einem zweiten beziehungsweise einem dritten elektrischen Signal angesteuert werden, mittels dessen der Türflügel in die neue Soll-Halteposition gelangt. Insbesondere kann das vordefinierte elektrische Signal als pulsweitenmoduliertes Signal ausgestaltet sein. Fig. 4 shows a flow diagram illustrating steps of an embodiment of a method according to the invention for positioning a turnstile of a revolving door arrangement. In step S100, a target stop position of the door leaf is determined, for example, a carrier signal can be received and evaluated during operation, which represents a user request or an operational necessity to stop the turnstile. In step S200, the stator of the electric drive of the revolving door arrangement according to the invention is controlled with a first electrical signal, by means of which the door leaf comes to a standstill at the desired stop position. In step S300, a deviation of the current position of the door leaf from the target stop position (in particular after the turnstile has stopped) is determined. In order to move exactly to the target stop position, the stator is then actuated with a second electrical signal in step S400, by means of which the door leaf returns to the target stop position. Here, the direction of rotation of the turnstile can be reversed compared to a previous direction of rotation. In step S500, a force subsequently acting on the door leaf is determined which exceeds a predefined force. In addition, in step S600, a deviation from a current one The position of the door leaf from the set stop position is determined by a predefined angular range and, in response to this, in step S700 a position of the turnstile closest to the set stop position with the corresponding door leaf position is defined as the new set stop position. Then, in accordance with step S400, the stator can be controlled with a second or a third electrical signal, by means of which the door leaf arrives in the new target holding position. In particular, the predefined electrical signal can be designed as a pulse-width-modulated signal.

Fig. 5 zeigt ein Blockschaltbild eines Ausführungsbeispiels einer erfindungsgemäßen Karusselltüranordnung. Über einen Anschluss 27 wird eine Betriebsspannung in Höhe von 24V an das elektrische System angeschlossen. Ein DC/DC-Wandler 41 speist einen Mikrocontroller als Auswerteeinheit 9 mit einer Spannung von 5V oder wahlweise 3,3V. Überdies wird die Betriebsspannung über eine Diode 42 auf einen Motor-IC 36 und eine Endstufe 26 für eine Bestromung des Stators 10 gegeben. Die Motorspannung kann bspw. in einem vordefinierten Bereich liegen. Der Mikrocontroller kann weitere Eingangsgrößen (nicht dargestellt) aufweisen. Bspw. können die Hallsensoren zur Ermittlung einer Drehposition des Antriebs an den Mikrocontroller angeschlossen sein. Der Mikrocontroller liefert pulsweitenmodulierte Signale zur Ansteuerung der Endstufe an den Motor-IC 36. Diese weisen ebenfalls einen Pegel von 5V bzw. 3,3V auf. Die pulsweitenmodulierten Signale dienen der Ansteuerung der drei Phasen U, V, W des Stators 10 z. B. mit 6 Signalen U_H, U_L, V_H, V_L, W_H, W_L (H - High, L - Low). Überdies sind eine Steuerleitung 39 und eine Fehlermeldungs-Leitung ("Error-Reporting") 40 zwischen dem Mikrocontroller und dem Motor-IC 36 vorgesehen. Mittels des Motor-IC 36 können High/Low-Signale mit angepassten Spannungspegeln GH_U, GL_U, GH_V, GL_V, GH_W, GL_W zur Ansteuerung der MOSFETS der Endstufe 26 ausgegeben werden. Überdies dient der Motor-IC 36 zur Kurzschlussprävention für die Ansteuerung der Endstufe 26. Mit anderen Worten wird vermieden, dass in einem gemeinsamen Brückenzweig angeordnete Transistoren der Endstufe 26 zeitgleich leitend geschaltet werden und die Endstufe hierdurch Schaden nimmt. Auch die Ansteuersignale GH_U, GL_U, GH_V, GL_V, GH_W, GL_W sind als pulsweitenmodulierte Signale ausgeführt. Das jeweilige High (H)-Signal stellt jedoch im Wesentlichen die jeweilige Pegelumkehr des Low (L)-Signals für die Phasen U, V, W dar, wobei eine Totzeit zur Vermeidung des oben genannten Kurzschlusses zwischen den Flanken der Signale liegt. Der Mikrocontroller, der Motor-IC 36 und die Endstufe 26 sind als Bestandteile eines Frequenzumrichters 25 dargestellt, dessen Bestandteile in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse angeordnet sein können. Insbesondere können die Bestandteile des Frequenzumrichters 25 auf einer gemeinsamen Platine angeordnet sein. Fig. 5 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of a revolving door arrangement according to the invention. An operating voltage of 24 V is connected to the electrical system via a connection 27. A DC / DC converter 41 feeds a microcontroller as an evaluation unit 9 with a voltage of 5V or optionally 3.3V. In addition, the operating voltage is applied via a diode 42 to a motor IC 36 and an output stage 26 for energizing the stator 10. The motor voltage can be in a predefined range, for example. The microcontroller can have further input variables (not shown). E.g. the Hall sensors can be connected to the microcontroller to determine a rotational position of the drive. The microcontroller supplies pulse-width-modulated signals for controlling the output stage to the motor IC 36. These also have a level of 5V or 3.3V. The pulse width modulated signals are used to control the three phases U, V, W of the stator 10 z. B. with 6 signals U_H, U_L, V_H, V_L, W_H, W_L (H - High, L - Low). In addition, a control line 39 and an error reporting line 40 are provided between the microcontroller and the motor IC 36. The motor IC 36 can be used to generate high / low signals with adapted voltage levels GH_U, GL_U, GH_V, GL_V, GH_W, GL_W Control of the MOSFETs of the output stage 26 are output. In addition, the motor IC 36 is used for short-circuit prevention for the control of the output stage 26. In other words, it is avoided that transistors of the output stage 26 arranged in a common bridge branch are simultaneously switched on and the output stage is thereby damaged. The control signals GH_U, GL_U, GH_V, GL_V, GH_W, GL_W are also designed as pulse width modulated signals. However, the respective high (H) signal essentially represents the respective level reversal of the low (L) signal for the phases U, V, W, with a dead time to avoid the abovementioned short circuit between the edges of the signals. The microcontroller, the motor IC 36 and the output stage 26 are shown as components of a frequency converter 25, the components of which can be arranged in a common housing. In particular, the components of the frequency converter 25 can be arranged on a common circuit board.
