Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of platform safety doors, and in particular relates to a half-height platform door system adaptable to various vehicle types. Background Art

[0002] As the rail transit networks of various cities continue to improve, the share of rail transit in public transportation is also increasing. The rail transit passenger flow is showing a growing trend. The situation where various subway lines share a section of railway area and stations is gradually increasing. For example, Shanghai Line 3 and Line 4, Yishan Road to Baoshan Road (a total of 10 stations) share a section of railway. The platform and platform door equipment need to be connected with two types of vehicles (03A01 and 04A01). Due to the inconsistency of the body length and door position of the two types of vehicles, there is a deviation in the position of door A after the two types of vehicles stop. Figure 1 As shown:

[0003] In order to meet the requirements of docking of multiple types of vehicles with existing equipment (±250mm parking error), the opening of the sliding door at the same position on the platform door needs to be increased to facilitate the docking requirements of two types of vehicles after stopping at the station.

[0004] The existing half-height platform door sliding door 2' needs to be provided with a sliding support structure on the upper part of the sliding door 2' during closing or moving. The existing structure is implemented in the form of a fixed extension arm 3 (such as the attached Figure 2 As shown), the fixed extension arm 3 can ensure that the sliding door 2' does not separate from the fixed side box 1' when closing, and at the same time plays a guiding role when opening the door. The fixed extension arm 3 used in the existing structure needs to protrude from the width of the sliding door 2' by about 200-250mm, see Figure 3 When the sliding door 2' of an adjacent unit is open, the length of the fixed extension arm 3 takes up some of the required space. While a small sliding door opening would not be affected if the unit spacing were the same, the fixed extension arm would affect the opening process at larger openings. The fixed extension arm takes up space when the sliding door is open, limiting the opening range. Furthermore, the two fixed extension arms are prone to collision, causing door opening failures.

[0005] The existing sliding door with fixed extension arm cannot achieve a wide opening and cannot meet the docking requirements of more than two types of vehicles after stopping at the station. Based on this, it is necessary to add a layer of sliding doors, using three layers of half-height platform doors (fixed side box 1', front sliding door 2B and rear sliding door 2C). The closed state is as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 The door opening status is shown in the attached Figure 5The three-and-a-half-story platform doors feature a front-to-back offset sliding door design, which increases the overall door thickness and reduces the space in the platform waiting area. Furthermore, when closed, the gap between the front sliding door and the vehicle door is large (up to 250mm). This creates a risk of passengers being pinched between the train door and the platform door when rushing through the doors, posing a safety hazard.

[0006] How to achieve a large opening of the sliding door to meet the parking needs of different models without using a front-to-back staggered layout of the sliding door body has become a difficult problem. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a half-height platform door system that can adapt to a variety of vehicle models. It increases the movement space of a single door by 200-250mm when adjacent sliding doors are opened, and achieves a large opening degree of the sliding door to meet the parking needs of multiple vehicle models without using a front-to-back staggered layout of the sliding door body.

[0043] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] The present invention provides a half-height platform door system that can adapt to various types of vehicles. Figure 6 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 , including a fixed side box 1, a sliding door 2, a driving system, a movable extension arm 4 and a linear guide 6; the linear guide 6 is fixedly connected to the fixed side box 1; the movable extension arm 4 is slidably connected to the sliding door 2 and to the linear guide 6, one end of the movable extension arm 4 can be extended to the outside of the fixed side box 1 by sliding, and the driving system is used to drive the sliding door to translate along the fixed side box.

[0045] The linear guide rail 6 can be fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the fixed side box 1, or it can be connected to other parts of the fixed side box. For the sake of aesthetics and structural simplicity, it is preferred that the linear guide rail 6 can be fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the fixed side box 1.

[0046] When the sliding door needs to be opened, the driving system drives the sliding door to move. When the sliding door moves, the retractable extension structure plays a guiding and supporting role. The fully opened state of the sliding door is shown in the figure. Figure 10 The movable extension arm gradually moves from the rear end of the sliding door to the front end of the sliding door. The movable extension arm does not occupy the rear space of the sliding door, saving space when the door is open and avoiding collision.

[0047] When the sliding door needs to be closed, the driving system drives the sliding door to move, and the retractable extension structure plays a guiding and supporting role. The state of the sliding door being fully closed is shown in the figure. Figure 9 When the door is closed, the movable extension arm extends to the outside of the fixed side box to ensure that the sliding door does not separate from the fixed side box.

[0048] For details, see Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10 The semi-high platform door system, which can accommodate a variety of vehicle types, also includes a slider 5, which is slidably connected to a linear guide 6 and fixedly connected to a movable extension arm 4. Limit blocks 8 are provided at each end of the linear guide to limit the slider's position. The linear guide 6 is fixed to the end of the upper end surface of the fixed side box 1.

[0049] See also Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 A horizontal guide groove 22 is provided on the upper portion of the side of the sliding door 2 away from the fixed side box 1. The upper end of the sliding door 2 does not contact the fixed side box 1. The upper end of the side of the sliding door 2 away from the fixed side box 1 is a sliding contact surface 21, which is located above the guide groove 22.

[0050] See also Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The movable extension arm 4 includes a first extension portion 41 and a second extension portion 42. The first extension portion 41 is flat, with its lower end fixedly connected to the upper end of the slider 5 via bolts. The second extension portion 42 has an L-shaped cross-section and is longer than the first extension portion 41. It is connected to the upper extension portion 41, with one end flush with the end of the first extension portion 41 and the other end capable of sliding outside the fixed side box 1. The second extension portion 42 is slidably connected to the sliding contact surface 21 of the sliding door 2. The lower end of the second extension portion 42 extends into the guide groove 22.

[0051] See also Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The lower end surface of the second extension portion 42 is provided with a plurality of guide wheels 7 and two sliding contact portions 43; the sliding contact portion 43 is a flat plate, vertically provided, and contacts the sliding contact surface 21 of the sliding door 2. The guide wheel 7 is located between the two sliding contact portions 43 and is in sliding connection with the sliding contact surface 21 of the sliding door 2.

[0052] See also Figure 8 and Figure 10 Limiting plates 211 are provided at both ends of the sliding contact surface 21 , and the limiting plates 211 cooperate with the sliding contact portion 43 to limit the movable extension arm 4 .

[0053] If the friction between the slider and the linear guide is small, when the sliding door is opened, the sliding door and the movable extension arm are relatively stationary, and the slider slides along the linear guide. When the slider moves to the end of the linear guide and is limited by the limit block, the slider cannot slide any further, that is, the movable extension arm cannot move any further. The position of the movable extension arm is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, at this time, the movable extension arm is not exposed outside the fixed side box, and then the sliding door continues to move, and it becomes a relative sliding between the sliding door and the movable extension arm until the sliding door is fully opened, as shown in FIG. Figure 10 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the movable extension arm is restricted to the linear guide rail and does not take up space. When the sliding door needs to be closed, the slider also slides along the linear guide rail. When the slider moves to the end of the linear guide rail and is limited by the limit block, the slider can no longer slide, that is, the movable extension arm can no longer move. The position of the movable extension arm is shown in the figure. Figure 9 As shown, at this time, the outer end of the extension part 2 extends to the outside of the fixed side box, and the sliding door continues to move. At this time, it becomes a relative sliding between the sliding door and the movable extension arm. The extension part 2 can support and guide the sliding door until the sliding door is completely closed. Figure 9 shown.

[0054] If the friction between the sliding door and the movable extension arm is less than the friction between the slider and the linear guide rail, when the sliding door is opened, the movable extension arm and the linear guide rail are relatively stationary, and the sliding door and the movable extension arm slide relative to each other. When the sliding contact portion of the sliding door hits the limit plate at the end of the sliding contact surface, the movable extension arm and the sliding door are relatively stationary, and the movable extension arm slides along the linear guide rail. When the slider moves to the end of the linear guide rail and is limited by the limit block, the sliding door is fully opened. Figure 10 When the sliding door is closed, the movable extension arm and the linear guide rail are relatively stationary, and the sliding door and the movable extension arm slide relative to each other. When the sliding contact portion of the sliding door hits the limit plate at the end of the sliding contact surface, the movable extension arm and the sliding door are relatively stationary. At this time, the movable extension arm slides along the linear guide rail. When the slider moves to the end of the linear guide rail and is limited by the limit block, the sliding door is completely closed. Figure 9 shown.

[0055] Of course, if the friction between the sliding door and the movable extension arm is equivalent to the friction between the slider and the linear guide rail, the movable extension arm will also slide along the linear guide rail while the sliding door and the movable extension arm slide relative to each other. Since limit blocks are set at both ends of the linear guide rail and limit plates are set at both ends of the sliding contact surface, the sliding range of the sliding door can be limited.

[0056] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 11 The semi-high platform door system, which can accommodate various types of vehicles, also includes a top cover 9, which is fixed to the fixed side box 1 and is used to cover the fixed side box 1. The end of the top cover 9 is provided with a channel that facilitates the sliding of the extension portion 42 and the sliding door 2. When the sliding door 2 is fully opened, the sliding door 2 is located below the top cover 9.

[0057] The present invention eliminates the protruding extension arm structure of the door body through a movable extension arm and a linear guide rail, providing an additional 200-250mm of movement space for a single door when adjacent sliding doors are opened, and achieving a large opening degree of the sliding door to meet the parking needs of multiple models without using a front-to-back staggered layout of the sliding door body.

[0058] In addition, the present invention optimizes the drive system and controls the sliding doors on both sides separately according to the vehicle model, achieving precise door opening and eliminating the need for a fully open mode. This saves door opening and closing time and reduces energy loss caused by excessive door opening. The specific solution is as follows:

[0059] Specifically, the drive system includes a door machine controller, multiple first motors, and multiple second motors; the sliding doors include a left sliding door and a right sliding door; the door machine controller drives the left sliding door to move a corresponding distance via the first motor based on the vehicle model information and the vehicle's opening or closing command; and drives the right sliding door to move a corresponding distance via the second motor based on the vehicle model information and the vehicle's opening or closing command. The door machine controller calculates the movement distance of each left and right sliding door for each vehicle model based on the vehicle model information, the position and length of the fixed doors, and other information as the corresponding door opening plan for the vehicle model, and stores the door opening plans for different vehicle models. Then, when the vehicle arrives at the station, the corresponding door opening plan is selected based on the vehicle model information to control the left and right sliding doors to move a corresponding distance to achieve a precise door opening effect. At this time, the left sliding door and the right sliding door are controlled separately. It is not necessary for the left sliding door and the right sliding door to be fully opened. One sliding door may be fully opened, the other sliding door partially opened, or both sliding doors may not be fully opened to meet the requirement that the train passenger compartment door stops ≥±250mm, which saves door opening and closing time, saves energy loss caused by excessive door opening, and further reduces the risk of sliding door collision.

[0060] The first and second motors preferably utilize electromagnetic brakes, particularly those with tail-end electromagnetic brakes. After the first and second motors drive the left and right sliding doors to their designated positions, the electromagnetic brakes immobilize the first and second motors, achieving a fixed stop. This allows the sliding doors to be locked at various opening positions, facilitating passenger boarding and exiting the train. The connections between the first motor and the left sliding door, and the second motor and the right sliding door, are conventional and will not be described in detail.

[0061] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
