Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method to operate an overhead door with a door operating system.
  • the present invention also relates to an overhead door provided with a door operating system.
  • Such a method and overhead door comprising an operating system are known from WO 99/08956 .
  • a slack cable detection and compensation system is disclosed herein which generates a warning signal if parts of the system for compensating play in the cable by means of a spring force have been withdrawn to a certain extent.
  • a position sensor With the aid of a position sensor, the mutual position of those components is monitored and in the event of an excess of play, a switch coupled to the position sensor switches over to signal an alarm.
  • a drawback of the known method and operating system is that it is not easy to build it into existing doors which moreover are not always provided with a slack cable compensation system.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a simple method with an associated operating system that can be mounted on all kinds of existing overhead doors as a slack cable detection system.
  • WO99/07971 discloses a system for detecting the motion, speed and position of a garage door, comprising a motor for transferring a garage door between first and second positions; a pulse counter for detecting a speed of the garage door during transfer between first and second positions; a potentiometer for determining a plurality of positional locations of the garage door during transfer between first and second positions separate from said pulse counter; and a control circuit for calculating a motor torque value from the speed for each of said plurality of positional locations to compare with a plurality of door profile data points, wherein said control circuit takes corrective action if the difference between the motor torque value for each of said plurality of positional locations and said plurality of door profile data points exceeds a predetermined threshold, and wherein said control circuit updates said plurality of door profile data points to the motor torque values for each respective said plurality of positional locations if the predetermined threshold is not exceeded.
  • both speed and position are detected by a slider element which is connected to the control circuit.
  • a sensor detects the
  • the feature is applied that the overhead door is operated by the motor by means of a cable, and that the decision unit interrupts the electrical power supply to the motor when the decision unit has not received confirmation from the motion sensor that the door is moving within a certain period of time after operating the switch member.
  • the overhead door according to the invention has the features of claim 5.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that it allows contactless detection of a possible slack cable.
  • no physical connection to the so-called door leaf of the door for example by means of a spiral cable, is required.
  • the dangers associated with a slack cable in particular where it concerns a fall of the door as a result of play in the cable (s), at that time possibly followed by a cable break, have been eliminated.
  • This improves the safety of the user when applying the method according to the invention, and prevents damage and failure of the door which is operated by means of the operating system according to the invention. And this in a way that makes installation and simple combining with existing doors possible regardless of their dimensions or thicknesses.
  • the time span after operating the switch member within which a confirmation from the movement sensor that the door is moving must have been received is adjustable.
  • this time can be adjusted in such a way that the extent to which the door would move a little under certain circumstances, if the cable is slightly slack, can be reduced to harmless proportions. Only when the adjustable time is exceeded the slack cable protector intervenes and the motor will no longer be energized, after which a possible automatic locking of the door can come into effect.
  • a preferred time span for a conventional door such as an overhead door is approximately 0.5 seconds at most.
  • the figure shows the principle diagram of a control system 1 for operating a door 3, such as an overhead door, by means of a number of cables 2, often under spring force.
  • the operating system 1 comprises a motion sensor 4 which is adapted to detect in a contactless manner a movement of the door 3, a switch member 6 connected to an electrical power supply 5; an electric motor 7 connected to the switch member 6 and adapted to operate the door 3 by means of the cable 2; and a decision unit 8 connected to the switch member 6 and adapted to interrupt the electrical power supply to the motor 7 if a signal from the motion sensor 4 has not been received by a user of the door within a certain period of time after switching on the switch member 6 confirming that the door 3 moves.
  • the switch 6 does not interrupt power to the motor 7.
  • the unit 8 decides that the switch member 6 must no longer switch the power supply to the motor 7, causing the motor to stop. There is then a suspicion of a slack cable failure or possibly a cable or spring break as a result of which the door did not start moving, or at least not in time. Stopping the motor 7 in time prevents the motor from pulling on the cable(s) 2 for such a long time that this could cause undesired damage or, for example, the door warping. In that state, a signal can then be generated that there is a defect that must be examined by a person skilled in the art. In general, a block will therefore be activated which at least prevents the door from moving down or falling down on its own.
  • the usually adjustable period of time will be monitored in the decision unit 8 in a manner known per se by a time counter which furthermore keeps track of the passage of time within the set period of time.
  • the motor 7 remains energized during the time period. However, if the confirmation by sensor 4 has not been given to the unit 8 within that time frame that the door is moving, then the power supply to the motor 7 is interrupted by the controllable switch 6 at the command of the decision unit 8.
  • the time span will run for a maximum of about 0.5 seconds, which is generally sufficient to accommodate any cable play occurring during that time, given the weight of the door.
  • the motion sensor 4 is a contact-free sensor and can be an optical and / or a magnetic sensor.
  • an optical sensor it comprises a combination of a light transmitter directed at the door and a cooperating receiver which is adapted to receive light emitted by the light transmitter after reflection on the door. From the reflected light, the signal can be derived in a known manner whether the door 3 moves or not. This signal is then applied to the decision unit 8 and used, as explained above.
  • the senor 4 may comprise a combination of a well-known reed switch which cooperates with a magnet to be mounted on the door 3. Only if and as long as the magnet is within range of the reed switch does the latter take a first position; if not, the reed switch switches to a second position. This relevant switching information is then communicated to the decision unit 8 and used, as explained above.
  • the aforementioned information can also be used to communicate via a wireless or non-wireless communication system, such as a mobile telephone, to an instance or person who can rectify the determined cable malfunction.
  • a wireless or non-wireless communication system such as a mobile telephone
