Definitions
- the present invention finds application in the field of electrical safety devices and in particular relates to an electronically operated safety switch.
- Safety switches designed to be applied to barriers and panels for protection of machines and industrial plants comprise a casing designed to be anchored to a fixed part of the protection and housing thereinside the electrical and electronic switching components for connecting the switch to the plants to be controlled.
- an operating element designed to interact with the switch to open/close one or more circuits connected to the switch itself at the opening and closing of the panel or other moving part is fixed in correspondence of the door or opening panel of the protection.
- the switches of greater diffusion provide an interaction between the mobile actuator and the circuit portion contained in the fixed casing through a slot in the casing.
- the particular configuration of the slot makes it possible to insert thereinto, due to a negligent or fraudulent conduct, a different actuator similar to the one in charge associated with the movable part of the protection, being able to cause a not safe restart of the system even in a condition of open protection.
- the end of the actuator is also provided with a transponder adapted to communicate with a detection circuit placed in the recess when the distance between the elements reaches a minimum value, for signaling the correct closure of the door.
- the movable portion houses thereinside a locking element which interacts with the actuator and keeps it in the closed position, being able to be removed only after the operation of a piston actuated by a command sent via the detection circuit.
- US 2011/0259060 discloses a switch similar to that described above and in which there is an actuator of the key type provided at one end with a transponder adapted to be detected by a sensor housed in the fixed part of the switch, in which a block element is also housed.
- WO2013/087 183 discloses a safety switch having a box-shaped casing provided both with a slot adapted to receive an key actuator provided with mechanical coding, in particular a solenoid, and a proximity sensor adapted to communicate with the actuator to detect its position.
- the switch is still of essentially mechanical type, with a key actuator that acts on a kinematic mechanism connected to traditional switching means.
- the proximity sensor has the sole purpose of detecting the presence of the actuator for generating a presence signal, to enable the switching means.
- connection between the proximity sensor and the switching means is realized by wires located externally to the case defining both an encumbrance and a potential risk due to a possible contact with the actuator.
- the known switches have a low flexible configuration that does not allow the application to the protection according to a plurality of orientations, so as to be able to adapt to the various possible methods of opening of the protection.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks, by providing an electronic operated safety switch with high efficiency and flexibility in mounting.
- a particular object is to provide an electronic operated safety switch which is provided with an electronic operating device having two mutually movable elements adapted to interact with each other to detect the correct closed position and wherein it is always guaranteed a sufficiently precise alignment between the above elements.
- Still another object is to provide an electronic operated safety switch which can be applied to various types of doors different with each other for the way and direction of the opening through a simple reconfiguration that does not necessarily require disassembly of the switch.
- a further object is to provide an electronic operated safety switch wherein the reconfiguration operations may also be performed with the switch already mounted on the barrier or protection, without risk of damaging the electrical cables that connect the electronic operating device to the contacts.
- an electronic operated safety switch which, according to claim 1, comprises a switching device adapted to be anchored to a fixed part of the protection and having a case defining a longitudinal axis and housing thereinside switching means adapted to be operatively connected to one or more control and/or service circuits of the system for the control thereof and an operating device adapted to be anchored to a movable part of the protection for interacting with said switching means upon the closure of the movable part on the fixed part.
- the switching device comprises a head anchored to said case and housing thereinside a locking mechanism of said operating device in the closed position of the movable part, said head further having a first portion provided with a centering hole accessible from said locking mechanism and a second portion having sensor means operatively coupled to said switching means to vary its state as a function of an input signal.
- the operating device is adapted to send a proximity signal designed to be received as input from said sensor means for controlling said switching means, a centering member being also provided which is adapted to be introduced in said centering hole for positioning said operating device in correspondence of said head.
- the switching means are of the electromechanical or electronic type and comprise an electronic actuator housed in said case and operatively coupled to said locking mechanism to act thereon exclusively upon receipt of said input signal by said sensor means.
- At least one between said first and said second portion of said head is rotatably mounted on said case to rotate about a same central axis of said head and to vary the orientation, respectively, of said centering hole and/or said sensor means with respect to said case.
- the switch configuration may be modified in a simple and quick manner to adapt to the specific configuration of the barrier or protection to which the switch is designed and in particular to make a same switch adapted to be applied in an universal manner to both hinged barriers and sliding barriers, either with right or left closing movement.
- said sensor means may be connected to said switching means by electronic connection means housed in said case, so as to avoid the presence of external cables which may break following the rotation of the head or due to an accidental contact with movable parts, for example with the same operating device.
- the centering hole may be a hole passing through transversely along said head to be accessible by said centering element from both the open transverse end sections.
- the switching means may be of the electromechanical or electronic type and comprise a logic control unit connected to said sensor means and associated with a terminal block for connection to one or more control and/or service circuits of the system to be switched .
- the operating device may include a transponder adapted to send said proximity signal associated with an identification code, while the sensor means may comprise a receiver adapted to be brought in correspondence of said transponder, for example aligned or disposed in a position facing the same, possibly partially staggered in the longitudinal and/or transverse direction, for receiving said proximity signal when said transponder is arranged at a predetermined minimum distance from said head and send said identification code to said logic control unit.
- the head will be devoid of the typical slots normally provided to allow access to the control mechanism of the switching means by the operating element, making not possible the activation of the switching means by operating elements different from that applied to the movable part, which will have an identification code to be univocally recognized by the logic unit.
- the case may comprise first axial fastening means of said head adapted to avoid or limit the longitudinal translation thereof with respect to said case, while still leaving free the rotation about said central axis.
- the case may be substantially prismatic with an upper face provided with a cylindrical opening for the insertion of a first axial tubular projection of said head, said cylindrical opening and said first tubular projection being provided respectively with a first and a second abutment element adapted to interact with one another upon rotation of said head for limiting it to a value less than 360°.
- This configuration will avoid that the head can carry one or more complete turns around the central axis which may cause the winding of the cables for connecting the sensor means to the switching means, with the risk of damaging the same.
- the switching element may also comprise an auxiliary control device adapted to be interposed between said head and said case and provided with at least one hand- operable emergency button to operate on said switching means.
- the auxiliary device may comprise a prismatic tubular body having at said case from a second axial tubular projection having a third abutment element adapted to interact with said first abutment element and on the side of said head a fourth element abutment element adapted to interact with said second abutment element upon rotation of said prismatic body relative to said case and said head for limiting the relative rotations to a value less than 360°.
- This configuration in addition to increasing the functionality of the switch, giving a higher degree of safety, at the same time will increase the flexibility of use as the control element may be oriented independently from the head, and then regardless of the closing mode of the protection.
- said emergency button may comprise an actuating element connected to a side face of said prismatic body by a transverse rod having adjustable length, so that it may be applied to panels or barriers of any thickness.
