  By the way, in such an automatic door drive device, a reduction device that decelerates the sliding door before closing and an automatic stop device that stops the sliding door when colliding with a person or an object are necessary. Since the deceleration position sensor that detects the position of this and determines the deceleration timing is fixed at a fixed position, there is a problem that the deceleration start position of the sliding door is limited.

  In addition, some automatic stop devices were used to detect a sudden increase in current using the increase or decrease in current due to fluctuations in the load of the DC motor and sense that the sliding door had collided. There was a problem that I could not detect it and felt a lot of pain when it collided.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic door drive device that can improve the accuracy and flexibility of a safety device such as a speed reducer and an automatic stop device in view of the problems of the conventional automatic door drive device. To do.

  In order to achieve the above object, an automatic door drive apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention is provided with a drive mechanism that opens and closes a sliding door, and includes a deceleration position sensor that detects the position of the sliding door and determines the timing of deceleration. The frame supporting the drive mechanism is formed with a rib along the moving direction of the sliding door, a ridge is formed at the tip of the rib, and a clip is slidably fitted to the rib across the ridge. The clip is provided with a deceleration position sensor.

  In this case, the non-reflective plate of the sensor can be provided on the clip in front of the passage of the detected object of the deceleration position sensor.

  The automatic door driving apparatus according to the second aspect of the invention includes a driving mechanism that opens and closes the sliding door, and an automatic door driving apparatus that includes a collision sensor that detects a collision of the sliding door. The automatic door driving apparatus includes a wire that drives the sliding door. It is characterized by comprising a sensor pulley that is rotated by an encoder and an encoder that detects the rotational speed of the sensor pulley.

  According to the automatic door drive device of the first aspect of the present invention, the automatic door drive device includes a drive mechanism that opens and closes the sliding door, and includes a deceleration position sensor that detects the position of the sliding door and determines the timing of deceleration. A rib is formed on the frame to be moved along the moving direction of the sliding door, a ridge is formed at the tip of the rib, and a clip is slidably fitted to the rib across the ridge, and the clip is decelerated. Since the position sensor is mounted, the deceleration position sensor can be slid along the rib without tilting or coming off with the clip that fits the rib across the ridge. It can be freely set and the deceleration start position of the sliding door can be changed.

  In addition, by providing the clip with a non-reflective plate of the sensor in front of the passage of the detected object of the deceleration position sensor, the environment is constant at any moving position, and the deceleration position sensor is independent of the surrounding conditions. Can be detected.

  Further, according to the automatic door drive device of the second aspect of the present invention, in the automatic door drive device including the drive mechanism for opening and closing the sliding door and the collision sensor for detecting the collision of the sliding door, the collision sensor is used to drive the sliding door. Since it comprises a sensor pulley that is rotated by a rotating wire and an encoder that detects the rotation speed of the sensor pulley, the speed of the sliding door that decreases due to a collision can be detected from the drive wire by the encoder via the sensor pulley. Thus, the collision detection accuracy can be improved and the safety can be enhanced.

  Embodiments of the automatic door driving device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 6 show an embodiment of an automatic door driving device of the present invention.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the automatic door driving device is attached to the Kamoi K and uses the sliding door D as an automatic door. The automatic door driving device includes the driving mechanism 1 that opens and closes the sliding door D, and the position of the sliding door D. Is provided, and a deceleration position sensor 2 that determines the timing of deceleration and a collision sensor 3 that detects a collision of the sliding door D are provided.
As shown in FIG. 3, this automatic door drive device forms a rib 5 on the frame 4 that supports the drive mechanism 1 along the moving direction of the sliding door D, and a protrusion 51 is formed at the tip of the rib 5. The clip 6 is formed so as to be slidably fitted to the rib 5 across the protrusion 51, and the deceleration position sensor 2 is attached to the clip 6.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the automatic door driving device includes a sensor pulley 31 that rotates the collision sensor 3 by a wire 7 that drives the sliding door D, and an encoder 32 that detects the number of rotations of the sensor pulley 31. Is configured.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the drive mechanism 1 hangs a wire 7 on a pulley 8 disposed at a predetermined interval, and fixes a coupling fitting 9 fixed to the wire 7 to a sliding door D. Is driven by the motor 10 to obtain the driving force of the sliding door D.
In this case, by using the wire 7 for the drive mechanism 1, the cost is reduced as compared with the timing belt and the drive mechanism 1 is downsized.

As shown in FIG. 3, the deceleration position sensor 2 is composed of a light reflection sensor. When the coupling bracket 9 of the sliding door D is detected and the coupling bracket 9 is detected, the microcomputer of the control plate 11 is connected to the motor 10. Instruct the deceleration.
A non-reflective plate 61 that does not reflect the light from the light emitting part of the sensor 2 to the light receiving part is provided integrally with the clip 6 in front of the passing path 64 of the detection object of the deceleration position sensor 2.
The clip 6 is made of an elastic metal or synthetic resin, and includes a U-shaped sandwiching portion 62 that slidably fits on the rib 5 across the protrusion 51, and a tongue piece below the sandwiching portion 62. And a fixed portion 63 of the deceleration position sensor 2 and the non-reflecting plate 61 are formed.

As shown in FIG. 4, the collision sensor 3 outputs a pulse having a frequency proportional to the moving speed of the sliding door D, and detects that the pulse frequency decreases when the sliding door D suddenly decelerates (collision) during movement. Then, it operates as a sensor for processing such as stopping the sliding door D or moving it in the reverse direction.
While the sliding door D is moving, the sensor pulley 31 is rotated by the drive wire 7, and a pulse train is output by the movement of the slit of the slit plate 33 rotated by the sensor pulley 31.
By monitoring this frequency and confirming the ratio with respect to the drive speed, a change in the ratio due to the speed fluctuation of the sliding door D is checked.
In the collision sensor 3 of the present embodiment, since a collision can be detected without attaching a sensor or the like to the sliding door D, it is possible to easily cope with retrofitting.
In the control, the microcomputer always compares the speed instruction value for the motor 10 with the wire speed obtained from the encoder 32, and monitors the collision during the closing operation.
And even in the normal opening / closing operation of the sliding door D, the position adjustment of the conventional stop position sensor can be omitted by performing the stop operation by hitting to the closing stop at the closing time and the opening stop at the opening time, Just setting the deceleration position eliminates the need for delicate adjustments.

A rib 5 is formed on the frame 4 that supports the drive mechanism 1 along the moving direction of the sliding door D, and a protrusion 51 is formed at the tip of the rib 5, and the rib 5 is slid over the protrusion 51. Since the clip 6 that can be fitted is provided and the deceleration position sensor 2 is attached to the clip 6, the deceleration position sensor 2 is tilted or detached by the clip 6 that straddles the protrusion 51 and is fitted to the rib 5. The position of the deceleration position sensor 2 can be freely set and the deceleration start position of the sliding door D can be changed.
In this case, by providing the clip 6 with the non-reflecting plate 61 of the sensor 2 in front of the passage 64 of the detection object of the deceleration position sensor 2, the environment is constant at any moving position, and the deceleration position sensor 2 is The position of the sliding door D can be detected regardless of the situation.

  Further, the collision sensor 3 that detects the collision of the sliding door D includes the sensor pulley 31 that is rotated by the wire 7 that drives the sliding door D, and the encoder 32 that detects the number of rotations of the sensor pulley 31. The decreasing speed of the sliding door D can be detected by the encoder 32 from the drive wire 7 via the sensor pulley 31, thereby improving the collision detection accuracy and enhancing the safety.

  As mentioned above, although the automatic door drive device of the present invention was explained based on the example, the present invention is not limited to the composition indicated in the above-mentioned example, and the composition is suitably changed in the range which does not deviate from the meaning. Can be changed.
