Description

SYSTEM FOR OPENING AND CLOSING ACCESS

The present invention relates to a system for opening and closing access, including access to the field. In general, the area of available land is becoming smaller. However, known access opening and closing systems include movable gates which, during their movement, occupy an important place.

In addition, since a portal must not open on the public road # There are additional constraints on the kinematics of the portals of the opening and closing access systems when the gates, in the closed position, are at near the public road.

A first known type of access opening and closing system comprises a gate rotatably mounted along a vertical axis relative to a fixed pole. Due to the quarter - circle movement of the portal, there exists around the fixed post a large occupancy space corresponding to a quarter disc centered on the fixed post and whose radius is equal to the length of the portal.

A second known type of access opening and closing system comprises a gate mounted in horizontal translation along a fixed guide rail. Because of the translational movement of the gate between its open position and its closed position, only a gate whose length is less than half the width of the ground at the guide rail can be implemented.

A third known type of land access opening and closing system is an accordion system whose gate comprises two parts - a first portion rotatably mounted along a first vertical axis relative to a fixed post, and a second rotatably mounted portion to the first portion according to a second vertical axis. The space occupied by such a portal is less important than that of a system of the first type, but it is already at least equal to the quarter disc centered on the fixed post and whose radius equal to the length of the first part of the portal. And to this space of occupation of the first part of portal, it is necessary to add the space of occupation of the second part. Enfla, the problem of space occupation is added the fact that, the portal being divided into two parts, the choice of its design is limited.

A fourth known type of land access opening and closing system is a fan system whose gate comprises several parts (generally at least six), all mounted in rotation relative to a fixed pole along an axis. horizontal oriented in the direction of the access to the ground. If this fourth type of system does not pose a problem of occupation, it poses problems related to the technical difficulty of their implementation, to their high cost, and to the very limited choice of the design of their portal which is cut into a significant number of parties.

The present invention aims to provide a system for opening and closing an access generating a very limited occupation of the ground during the movement of its portal, having no technical difficulty of implementation, and allowing a choice of design as important as the first two known types of access opening and closing systems.

This peculiarity of geometry of the ground occupation is particularly advantageous since, taken in the direction of the guiding direction, the occupation of the gate on the ground is weaker as this gate moves away from its median position. 45 °, either towards its open position or toward its closed position.

In addition, the portal can be in one piece, the choice of design is as important as for those of the first two known types.

The system for opening and closing an access 1 object of the present invention comprises a guide rail 2, a pole 3, a gate 4 and a synchronization system 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 .

The guide rail 2 is fixed and extends in a guide direction 12 defining a vertical guide plane. The system may also have a plurality of parallel guide rails 2 (as shown in FIGS. 14 and 23 to 25).

Among the possible modes of attachment, the guide rail 2 can be fixed to a wall (as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3) or carried by vertical uprights 13 fixed to the ground (as illustrated in FIGS. 4, 5, 9, 11, 12 and 23).

Preferably, when the part of the ground where the guide rail 2 extends has a vertical inclination in the guide direction 12, the guide rail 2 is arranged to extend along a plane of displacement which makes a angle of inclination 14 with the horizontal plane to account for the inclination of the ground (as shown in Figure 4).

The post 3 is slidably mounted relative to the guide rail 2 between an open position and a closed position.

The post 3 can be carried only by the guide rail 2 (as shown in FIG. 23) or be carried by a support wheel 15 (as illustrated in FIG. 24). In the case where the post 3 is carried by a support wheel 15 "this support wheel 15 is preferably mounted in rotation" along a horizontal axis "on a support rail 16 which is fixed to the ground parallel to the guide direction 12.

In this way, the post 3 remains oriented vertically regardless of its position (as illustrated in FIG. 4).

In order to prevent tilting of the post 3 with respect to the guide rail 2, the post 3 is guided in translation along the guide rail 2 by a fixed anti-tilt rail and parallel to the guide direction 12 and by an element anti-tipper carried by the pole 3 and at least partially surrounding the anti-tip rail. The anti-tip element may have, in cross section (perpendicular to the guide direction 12), a dovetail profile corresponding to the cross section of the anti-tip rail. The antitipper element may also be formed by a cylinder (for example a ball cage) mounted in translation around the anti-tip rail. Preferably, the anti-tip rail is formed by the guide rail 2.

The translation of the post 3 on the guide rail 2 can be achieved by different means. It is thus possible to use a toothed wheel rotatably mounted on the post 3 and engaged with a rack which extends along the guide rail 2. It is also possible to use a closed belt 17, the belt 17 being fixed to the pole 3 and driven in displacement by two transmission rollers 18 whose vertical axes of rotation are fixed and arranged at each end of the guide rail 2 (cam illustrated in Figure 16), It is. still possible to use a guide nut 19 carried by the pole 3 and engaged around a guide screw 20 which extends along the guide rail 2 (as shown in Figure 25), the guide screw 20 being rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis {which is parallel to the guide direction 12),

The gate 4 is rotatably mounted relative to the post 3 between me open position releasing access and a closed position obstructing access. Preferably, the gate 4 in the open position is parallel to the vertical guide plane. Preferably, the axis of rotation 21 of the gate 4 to the post 3 extends in a vertical direction.

The gate 4 is delimited vertically by two vertical edges 22 "23: a first vertical edge 22 which is adjacent to the post 3" and a second vertical edge 23 opposite the first vertical edge 22.

Preferably "for aesthetic reasons and to limit the masonry operations" the gate 4 is carried only by the post 3. It is also possible that the gate 4 is carried by a support wheel which is mounted on the portal 4 pivotably along a vertical pivot axis 24 and which is adapted to ride on the ground. Preferably, when the gate 4 is carried by a support wheel, the latter is rolled up on a fixed support rail which extends under the gate 4 in the closed position (as illustrated in FIG. 20). Also preferably "in order to distribute the weight of the gate 4" the support wheel is disposed near the second vertical edge 23 of the gate 4,

In order to stabilize the rotation of the gate 4 with respect to the post 3 ", the rotational guidance of the gate 4 is preferably made" on the one hand "by my vertical rotation shaft which is carried by the post 3 or by the gate 4" and "on the other hand" by an opening of vertical rotation which is carried out either in the gate 4 if 1 * 'shaft of rotation, vertical is carried by the post 3' or in the post 3 if the vertical rotation shaft is carried by the gate 4 "the vertical rotation shaft being rotatably mounted in the vertical rotation aperture. Preferably, the rotational guidance is achieved by two coaxial vertical rotation shafts housed in two vertical rotation apertures, the vertical rotation shafts and the vertical rotation apertures being located at both vertical ends of the post 3 and the portal 4.

The rotation of the gate 4 with respect to the post 3 can be achieved by different means. It is thus possible to use a jack 26 connecting the post 3 and the gate. 4 away from the axis of rotation 21 dm gate 4 (as shown in Figure 21). When a jack 26 is used, it is connected to the post 3 along a first vertical axis 21 (preferably via a projecting member 28 secured to the post 3 and oriented in the guide direction 12), and to the gate 4 according to a second, vertical axis 29 (preferably via an offset arm 30 which shifts the second vertical axis 29 out of the plane of the gate 4}.

For aesthetic reasons and in order to hide the mechanical connections between the post 3 and the gate 4, the gate 4 may comprise, in a fixed manner, a rotational member 31 which forms a vertical extension of the post 3 (as illustrated in FIG. where the gate comprises two rotational members 31). Preferably, the outer shape of the rotational member 31 is the same as that of the post 3, at least when the gate 4 is in one of its open or closed positions (and preferably when the gate 4 is in its position). closed position).

The synchronization system 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 makes it possible to synchronize the rotational movement of the gate 4 with the translational movement of the post 3 so that, when the gate 4 is in the open position, the post 3 is in the open position, and when the gate 4 is in the closed position, the pole 3 is in the closed position (as shown in Figures 1 and 3).

Preferably, the synchronization system 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 allows the second vertical edge 23 of the gate 4 to follow a line 32 defined by the location of the gate 4 in the closed position when, the pole 3 and the gate 4 move, the support rail 25, when it exists, is arranged along this line 32.

FIGS. 5 to 13 illustrate a first example of synchronization system 5,

The first example of synchronization system 5 comprises an activation arm 33 (as illustrated in FIG. 7). This activation arm 33 is connected to the gate 4 and comprises, in a fixed manner, a synchronization member 34 which is mounted in translation on the post 3 in a horizontal synchronization direction and perpendicular to the guide direction 12. fact, when the post 3 moves along the guide rail 2, the synchronizing member 34 moves relative to the post 3 in the synchronization direction 35 (perpendicular to the guide direction 12) and causes the gate to rotate 4.

In the first example of synchronization system 5, the activation arm 33 also comprises, in a fixed manner, a drive member 36 which is slidably mounted along a fixed drive rail 37. The drive rail 37 extends in a vertical drive plane which is at an angle to the vertical guide plane. As a result, when the post 3 moves along the guide rail 2 (and therefore at the surface of the vertical guide plane), the driving member 36 moves along the driving rail 37 (and thus at the surface of the vertical driving plane) and causes the synchronizing member 34 to move in the synchronization direction 35.

The first example of synchronization system 5 also comprises a horizontal motion transformation plate 38 which is integral with the post 3 and which comprises two slots 39, 40 3 'different orientations and our secants. A first of these two slots 39 "40 is a synchronization slot 39 which is oriented in the synchronization direction 35 and in which the synchronization member 34 is slidably mounted. The second slot is a motion transformation slot 40 in which is slidably mounted a motion-transforming member 41 carried fixedly by the activation arm 33. As a result, when the driving member 36 moves along the driving rail 37 "the transformation member movement 41 moves along the motion transformation slot 40 and causes movement of the activation arm 33 relative to the motion transformation plate 38.

In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. B, the motion transformation slot 40 is rectilinear and oriented at approximately 45.degree. With respect to the synchronization slot 39. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. of the motion transformation slot 40 is curved and its overall orientation with respect to the synchronization slot 39 is about 40 ° (in this embodiment) since the entire motion transformation slot 40 is curved The general orientation is determined by the straight line connecting the two ends of the motion transformation slot 40),

The shape of the motion transformation slot 40 makes it possible to have a rotation speed of the variable gate 4 as a function of the position of the gate 4 for a constant translation speed of the post 3. The curvature of the motion transformation slot 40 may not be uniform throughout its length. The motion transformation slot 40 may have a curvature only in certain places, for example, only one or both of its ends or both ends could be bent in order to accelerate or slow down the rotation of the portal 4.

As illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 13, the connection of the activation arm 33 with the gate 4 is carried out by a vertical connecting finger 42 which is fixedly supported by the activation arm 33 and which is housed in a vertical connection orifice realized in the gate 4 at a distance from the axis of rotation 21 of the gate 4 to the post 3. Thus, when the activation arm 33 moves relative to the movement transformation plate 38, the gate 4 moves around its axis of rotation 21.

This first example of synchronization system 5 is particularly simple to implement since it only requires a fixed drive rail 37 extending in a vertical drive plane which is at an angle to the vertical guide plane. , that a horizontal motion transformation plate 38 fixed to the post 3 and carrying two slots 39, 40 of different non-secant orientations, and an activation arm 33 connected to the drive rail 37 by a body of 36, to the horizontal motion transformation plate 38 by a synchronizing member. 34 and a movement transformation member 41, and the gate 4 by a vertical connecting finger 42.

Figures 14 and 15 illustrate a second example of a synchronization system. 6.

The second example of synchronization system 6 is formed, on the one hand, by an alignment of fixed projecting members 43 which extends parallel to the guide rail 2, and, on the other hand, by a contactor 44 which is worn by the pole 3 and which is adapted to cooperate with this alignment. For this purpose, the contactor 44 is movably mounted relative to the pole 3 between, on the one hand, an activation position in which it is located in line with a protruding member 43 and causes the gate 4 to rotate on the other hand, a deactivation position in which it is located between two adjacent projecting members 43 and causes the rotation of the gate 4 to stop.

According to a first option, the contactor 44 is biased in its deactivation position by a return member 45 such as a spring 45. As a result, the rotation of the gate 4 is only done when the contactor 44 is in contact with a protruding member 43, It is thus possible "by adjusting the position and the length of each protruding member 43" to determine the speed of rotation of the gate 4.

According to a second option that can be associated with the first option "the switch 44 controls, depending on whether it is in position, activation or deactivation position" the movement of a toothed wheel carried by the pole, 3 between a position engaged and a disengaged position with a mechanism for rotating the gate 4,

According to a third option that can be associated with at least one of the two previous options »the switch 44 comprises a drive roller 46 which is mounted vertically with respect to the pole 3 and which is adapted to roll only on the projecting members 43. When the second option is associated with the third option "it is preferable that the drive roller 46 is integral in rotation and in translation movement of the toothed wheel. The drive roller 46 and the toothed wheel may in particular form part of a single piece forming the contactor 44.

FIG. 16 illustrates a third example of synchronization system 7.

The third example of a synchronization system 7 is formed by a closed belt 17 which is fixed to the pole 3 and which is connected to rollers 18, 47. These rollers 18, 47 comprise, in addition to the two transmission rollers 18 of which the vertical axes of rotation are fixed and arranged at each end of the guide rail 2, a gate roller 47 whose vertical axis is connected to the axis of rotation 21 of the gate 4. As a result, the translation of the pole 3 causes the gate 4 to rotate. The gate roller 47 can be carried by the gate 4 or by the post 3.

According to one variant, the belt 17 is stretched by at least one tension roller 48 which is mounted to move on the pole 3 between a tensioning position in which the belt 17 is stretched and allows the displacements of the post 3 and the gate 4, and a release position in which the belt 17 is relaxed and does not allow the movements of the post 3 and the gate 4. In Figure 16 "the synchronization system comprises two tension rollers 48,

FIG. 17 illustrates a fourth example of synchronization system 8.

The fourth example of a synchronization system 8 is formed by a gear system disposed in the post 3 and connecting a first gear wheel enabling the translation of the post 3 to a second gear wheel enabling the gate 4 to rotate.

FIGS. 18, 19 and 20 illustrate three examples of synchronization system 9, 10, 11 in which the synchronization systems 9, 10, 11 are formed by a synchronization link 9, 10, 11 directly connecting the gate 4 to an element fixed.

FIG. 18 illustrates a fifth example of a synchronization system 9. The synchronization link 9 is formed by a synchronization bar 9 which is rotatably mounted, on the one hand, at the gate 4 in a first vertical shaft 49, and, on the other hand, to the ground according to a second fixed vertical shaft 50.

FIG. 19 illustrates a sixth example of a synchronization system 10. The synchronization link 10 is formed by a fixed synchronization vertical element 51 mounted in translation and in rotation with a horizontal synchronization element 52 carried by the gate 4. The element vertical synchronization 51 is disposed, when the gate 4 is in the closed position, near the first vertical edge 22 of the gate 4, and the horizontal synchronization element 52 is disposed along a horizontal edge of the gate 4.

FIG. 20 illustrates a seventh example of a synchronization system 11. The synchronization link 11 is formed, on the one hand, by a support rail 25 fixed to the ground and extending under the gate 4 in the closed position and, d on the other hand, by a support wheel yes is mounted on the support rail 25 and is pivotally carried by the gate 4 along a vertical axis 24 in the vicinity a second vertical edge 23 of the gate 4,

Finally, the system for opening and closing an access 1 object of the present invention also comprises a system for moving the post 3 and the gate 4.

This movement system can be a manual movement system. It can also be a motorized system mistletoe "preferably" can be disengaged to allow "not put in manual movement.

The motorized system may comprise only one engine adapted to directly drive the movement of the post 3 or the gate 4, the synchronization system 5 "6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 providing the link between the gate 4 and the post 3. If the motor directly drives the translation of the post 3, it can be either fixed (integral with the guide rail 2) or integral with the post 3. If the motor directly drives the rotation of the gate 4, it can be either secured to the post 3, is secured to the portal 4.

The motorized system may also include two motors: a first motor adapted to directly drive the movement of the pole 3, and a second motor adapted to directly drive the movement of the gate 4, the synchronization system ensuring the synchronization of the two motors. The first motor can be fixed or integral with the post 3, and the second motor can be secured to the post 3 or the gate 4. The use of a single fixed motor is preferable because the electric supply son are also fixed . Such an engine may be used to drive the rotation of a guide screw 20 or a transmission roller 18.

The control of the access can be realized both by a single opening and closing system 1 according to the present invention, as by two opening and closing systems 1 according to the present invention.

In the case where two opening and closing systems 1 are used, the two gates 4 are arranged so that their two second vertical edges 23 are adjacent to each other. Preferably, the movements of the gates 4 and the posts 3 of the two systems are synchronized. Typically, the two gates 4 rotate in opposite directions while the posts 3 move in the same direction.

As illustrated in FIG. 26, the ground occupation during the movement of the gate 4 substantially corresponds to one. square whose two perpendicular sides are defined, on the one hand, by the gate 4 in the closed position, and, on the other hand, by the portal. 4 open position Neck by the guide rail 2), to a space 53 which is complementary to the quarter disc whose radius is equal to the length of the gate and whose center is at the corner diagonally opposite the corner at the intersection of two aforementioned sides. The corresponding circular arc 54 forms the limit of the ground occupation of the opening and closing system 1.
