Definitions
- the present invention relates to a blocking device, in particular for a fire damper. Furthermore, the invention relates to a blocking device system that contains the blocking device and an associated method.
- wrap springs have generally been used as one-way clutches.
- all fire protection regulations should be able to be met and the blocking device should in particular also block when a drive device actuating the drive element is no longer functional or no longer available, for example because it has melted in a fire.
- an associated blocking device system and an associated method are to be specified.
- a blocking device in particular for a fire damper, is specified to achieve the object.
- the blocking device has:
- a receiving element rotatable in the holding device about an axis of rotation with a through opening, the through axis of which runs parallel, in particular coaxially, to the direction of the axis of rotation,
- a wrap spring of the blocking device which is mechanically prestressed in the holding device and whose at least one turn is arranged around the receiving element
- thermocouple made of a material that has a lower melting temperature than the material with the lowest melting temperature in the holding device and / or as the melting temperature of the material of the wrap spring
- the at least one thermocouple holds at least one end of the wrap spring with respect to the holding device in the pretensioned state such that the receiving element can be freely rotated about the axis of rotation in both drive directions and that the receiving element in the relaxed state of the wrap spring in the triggered state of the at least one thermal fuse in one of the two drive directions is blocked.
- thermocouple can also be characterized as a fastening device.
- thermocouple When the thermocouple is triggered, especially in the event of a fire, the thermocouple material melts and loses its mechanical strength. However, the other load-bearing components of the blocking device continue to function as before. In normal operation, ie in the untripped state of the thermocouple, the thermocouple has such a high mechanical strength that one end of the Wrap spring or both ends of the wrap spring with respect to the holding device in the biased state who the.
- This combines the freewheel principle with a wrap spring with a thermal activation of the freewheel function or the func on of blocking in the blocking direction.
- a trigger mechanism for the locking function of the freewheel can be activated in a simple manner based solely on the material parameters.
- the thermocouple can be made from a plastic material or from a solder with a melting temperature lower than 400 degrees Celsius.
- the holding device can preferably be made of steel and / or at least one sintered material. This makes it easy to ensure the difference in melting temperatures. Steel and sintered materials typically have melting temperatures greater than 1000 degrees Celsius.
- the wrap spring can also preferably be made of steel.
- the receiving element can also be made from a sintered material. This ensures that, in the event of a fire, the thermocouple melts, which activates the locking function and the free-wheeling function of the wrap spring, but the other load-bearing components of the blocking device can continue to perform their function unchanged.
- the difference in melting temperatures can be at least 200 degrees Celsius, at least 500 degrees Celsius or at least 1000 degrees Celsius. This ensures that the blocking function is triggered safely in the event of a fire.
- the functional principle can also be used for other applications, for example, as overload protection when a device overheats
- the holding device can contain at least two plates which are spaced apart from one another, each through openings in the area of the axis of rotation.
- the holding device can contain at least one spacer element, preferably a plurality of cylindrical spacer elements, by means of which the plates are arranged at a distance from one another which is defined by the at least one spacer element.
- Fixing holes are preferably provided in both plates, in particular in otherwise identical plates, or at least in one of the plates, with which the blocking device can be mounted, in particular on a ventilation system, ventilation or venting, for example. Through holes for screws.
- One of the plates can contain a circular through opening in which the receiving element is mounted, preferably with a plain bearing.
- the plain bearing is easy and inexpensive to implement.
- the recording element can go through completely and be supported with its other end in the other plate, again in particular by a plain bearing.
- the Hal teelement explained below would not be required.
- This alternative can be used if only one end of the wrap spring is pretensioned in a thermocouple and the other end is fixed, for example, on the holding device.
- the blocking device can contain a holding element, which is preferably hollow-cylindrical or essentially hollow-cylindrical and which is preferably fixedly mounted at one end in an opening of the other plate, in particular not rotatable.
- the holding element can be surrounded by at least one turn of the wrap spring.
- the holding element can be dimensioned such that a part of the relaxed wrap spring lies securely around the holding element due to the reduction in its inner diameter, so that the other part on the receiving element can perform the free-wheeling function with locking function.
- This variant can also be used if both ends of the wrap spring are prestressed in the thermocouple and are exposed after the thermocouple has melted.
- the holding element can be formed at its other end as a counter bearing for the rotatable receiving of the receiving element, in particular as a plain bearing.
- a recessed or concave edge in the circumferential direction or the so-called undercut can be formed on a projection. Projections created by the undercuts can overlap as seen in the radial direction, so that there is a secure positive fit, which ensures a good hold in the radial direction and in the axial direction.
- a recessed or concave edge or undercut can be formed on a respective projection in the circumferential direction. This ensures a secure hold and good storage as a plain bearing or as a fixed bearing.
- the positive connection offers a good hold in the radial direction and in the axial direction.
- the receiving element When viewed in the direction of the axis of rotation, the receiving element can have the same length as the length of the holding device. Alternatively, these lengths can differ by a maximum of 30 percent based on the sum of both lengths.
- the result is a holding element with a sufficiently large holding surface for the relaxed wrap spring with a sufficiently large receiving element for a drive shaft. Also on the receiving element, the contact surface for the relaxed wrap spring is large enough to fulfill the free-wheeling function and the locking function.
- the receiving element can have a smaller outside diameter compared to the outside diameter of the holding device, preferably an outer diameter which is smaller in the range from 0.1 millimeter to 0.5 millimeter. On the one hand, this enables the relaxed wrap spring to be held securely on the holding element and, on the other hand, it is not held too firmly on the receiving element for the drive shaft.
- the receiving element can have an opening with a square cross section, a triangular cross section or a cross section with more than four corners transverse to the axis of rotation.
- a drive shaft with a suitable counter shape can thus engage in the receiving element in a rotationally secure manner.
- Round cross-sections and round drive shafts can also be used, however, if other measures ensure that they cannot rotate.
- the wrap spring may contain at least 5 or at least 10 turns, preferably less than 25 turns.
- the result is simple manufacture with a safe freewheel and locking function.
- the ends of the wrap spring can be biased in the range from 5 degrees to 45 degrees to each other. For the movement of the ends when the wrap spring is released, only a small installation space is therefore required.
- the wrap spring can have a square cross section, a rectangular cross section or a circular cross section have and is therefore easy to set up.
- the wrap spring can be a coil spring with coils lying close together, which enables a compact design. Alternatively, gaps between adjacent turns can be arranged.
- At least one thermocouple or both thermocouples can be held between the plates.
- At least one thermocouple can have an elongated shape compared to its largest lateral dimension, i.e. it preferably has a length that is at least three times or at least five times longer than the largest lateral dimension of the thermocouple.
- thermocouple can also be used on its own because it can also be supplied as a single part.
- a blocking device system in which the blocking device according to the first aspect or its developments is arranged on a drive element on at least one fire damper.
- the fire damper can work as a fire damper, which should be kept closed as far as possible and must never be opened again.
- the fire protection flap is an additional element to a ventilation flap in the same ventilation duct, the ventilation flap being used to control or regulate an air flow.
- the fire damper on the other hand, is only activated in the event of a fire or for inspection purposes. Alternatively, in normal operation, the fire damper can work as a ventilation flap that controls or regulates an air flow for ventilation or ventilation.
- a drive device can be arranged on the drive element, which has a housing made of a material that has a melting temperature lower than 800 degrees Celsius or lower than 600 degrees Celsius, in particular containing aluminum or consisting of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Even if that
- the drive device closes the fire damper, for example, within 15 seconds of the power failure.
- a return spring of the drive device can then still offer a holding torque. If the drive device itself, for example due to destruction by a fire, no longer develops a holding torque that holds the fire damper shut, then the safe locking is provided by the blocking device, as has been explained in detail above. This prevents smoke from spreading in the building ventilation system and does not endanger the lives of people in rooms that are away from the fire.
- a method for blocking a drive direction is specified, in particular for blocking a drive direction in a drive element for a fire damper.
- a wrap spring is arranged around a drive shaft which is driven by a drive unit. The following also applies:
- the wrap spring is or is biased using at least one thermocouple
- thermocouple is intended to decrease or melt its strength in the event of a fire or in the event of overheating of a machine, and the prestressed wrap spring would thereby relax, the material of the thermocouple has a lower melting temperature compared to the melting temperature of the wrap spring,
- the relaxed wrap spring has a smaller inner diameter than the pretensioned wrap spring
- the drive shaft can be brought into mechanical operative connection with at least one fire damper.
- the fire damper is an additional element to a ventilation flap in the same ventilation duct, the ventilation flap being used to control or regulate an air flow.
- the fire damper on the other hand, is only activated in the event of a fire or for inspection purposes.
- the fire damper can operate in normal operation as a ventilation flap that controls or regulates an air flow for ventilation.
- the fire damper is locked securely in a simple manner by the functional principle used, ie thermal activation of a wrap spring freewheel with a block in the opposite direction. A complete closing of the flap is still possible, but opening the flap is counteracted.
- a clutch with temperature-dependent unidirectional locking function for fire damper is described.
- the flap is closed by a drive within 15 seconds in the event of a fire.
- the drive usually burns in the following 2 minutes to 60 minutes, for example. All parts that are not made of steel melt and fall off the folding shaft. Without a drive on the flap shaft, there is no holding torque on the flap and the flap could open unintentionally. The unwanted opening of a flap in the event of a fire must be prevented.
- a metal spring wedge could be pivoted onto the metal segment by means of a “fuse”.
- the wedge geometry would then have to be designed in such a way that the segment can still close at any time, but can no longer open.
- the solution can also be carried out separately from the actuator.
- the proposed clutch with temperature-dependent unidirectional locking function is pushed onto the damper shaft and fixed to the damper housing.
- the clutch allows bidirectional movement in normal operation by the actuator.
- the plastic of the "thermal fuse" of the coupling melts away.
- the wrap spring closes and the clutch can only be turned in one direction.
- the wrap spring blocks the rotary movement in the opposite direction.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show the coupling with an unidirectional locking function.
- the coupling is already mounted and fixed on the damper.
- the actuator is mounted on the damper and also on the clutch.
- the architecture or the materials of the actuator used are free of the "locking function" or the locking function.
- the flap remains locked. This can save manufacturing costs for the actuator.
- the new coupling with temperature-dependent unidirectional locking function can be purchased by the customer as an additional module. If the function is required, he buys it. Otherwise it saves the expenses for an unnecessary function.

- thermocouple 140 receives the ends 132, 134 of the looping of the 130, the looping spring 130 being pretensioned, which increases its inner diameter somewhat in comparison to the relaxed state, so that in normal operation an essentially unimpeded rotation of the drive shaft in both directions of drive or Direction of rotation 160 and 170 take place can. In normal operation, there is therefore no blockage 180 in the opposite direction or in the direction of rotation 170.
