Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of airtight door technology, specifically to an airtight door. Background Technology
[0002] Airtight doors are sliding door sets that integrate airtightness, sound insulation, heat preservation, pressure resistance, dust prevention, fire prevention, and radiation protection. They are generally used in hospitals, food factories, industrial plants, and other places with high requirements for sound insulation, heat insulation, and airtightness. Airtight doors generally use small-volume, high-power DC brushless motors, which can operate without failure for a long time even with frequent opening and closing. Vacuum airtight rubber strips are installed around the door body to ensure that the door can fit tightly with the door frame when closed to achieve a reliable airtight effect.
[0003] The working principle of one type of airtight door in the prior art is as follows: a drive device drives rollers connected to the door to move on a metal rod. After the door is in position, the rollers sink into the grooves set on the metal rod to prevent the door from shifting. However, this type of airtight door requires a large driving force during the start-up phase, which places high demands on the drive device. Another type of airtight door in the prior art uses an inflatable airbag to achieve a seal between the door and the wall. When the door is closed, an air pump or other equipment is used to inflate the airbag, which expands to achieve a seal between the door and the wall. When the door is opened, the airbag deflates. However, in the use of this type of airtight door, the airbag is prone to fatigue and aging due to the high frequency of inflation and deflation, and may fail to return to its original position, affecting the movement and sealing of the door. Based on this, this application proposes an airtight door. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] This invention provides an airtight door, including a drive structure and a door body 2. The drive structure includes a fixed box 1, with synchronous pulleys 6 movably connected to both ends of the inner cavity of the fixed box 1. The two synchronous pulleys 6 are connected by a synchronous belt 9. A controller 8 and a servo motor 7 are fixedly connected inside the inner cavity of the fixed box 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 7 is connected to the synchronous pulleys 6 through a reducer. Through the servo motor 7, the rotation of the servo motor 7 can drive the synchronous pulleys 6 fixedly connected to it to rotate, and the synchronous pulleys 6 drive the synchronous belt 9 meshing with them to rotate.
[0030] A support frame 15 is fixedly connected inside the cavity of the fixed box 1. The support frame 15 is provided with a limiting groove that is adapted to the synchronous belt 9. The synchronous belt 9 is movably connected to the cavity of the limiting groove. Through the setting of the support frame 15, the support frame 15 can limit and support the synchronous belt 9, so that the synchronous belt 9 can be kept in a horizontal state, which is convenient for the use of the synchronous belt 9.
[0031] A translation plate 11 is fixed on the synchronous belt 9. Support rollers 13 are movably connected to both ends of the outer side of the translation plate 11. A metal rod 14 adapted to the support rollers 13 is fixedly connected inside the cavity of the fixed box 1. With the support rollers 13 and the metal rod 14, the metal rod 14 can support the translation plate 11 through the support rollers 13, so that the synchronous belt 9 can drive the translation plate 11 to move.
[0032] The bottom of the sliding plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the door body 2. Both ends of the bottom of the door body 2 are movably connected to the traveling wheels 4, and the door body 2 contacts the ground through the traveling wheels 4.
[0033] A positioning groove is provided on one side of the bottom end of the sliding plate 11. Two positioning structures 12 adapted to the positioning groove are provided on the side of the fixed box 1 away from the metal rod 14. A signal generator 19 is fixed on the side of the sliding plate 11 away from the support roller 13. Two signal receivers 10 adapted to the signal generator 19 are fixed on the side of the fixed box 1 away from the support roller 13. When the signal receiver 10 receives the signal emitted by the signal generator 19, the positioning structure 12 is aligned with the positioning groove. One positioning structure 12 and one signal receiver 10 are installed in the open position, and the other positioning structure 12 and the other signal receiver 10 are installed in the closed position.
[0034] As described above, the signal receiver 10 and signal generator 19 can perform non-contact detection of the door 2's position, ensuring the door 2's movement accuracy. Furthermore, the positioning structure 12 limits the door 2's position, ensuring its stability in both open and closed positions. Compared to the prior art's use of grooves on a metal rod to prevent door movement, this application utilizes the positioning structure 12 to limit the door's position, reducing the requirements on the drive structure.
[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the positioning structure 12 includes a fixing block 16 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing box 1. A connecting rod 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the other side of the fixing block 16. A positioning block 17 adapted to the positioning groove is movably sleeved on the outer ring of the connecting rod 20. An electromagnet 11 is fixedly fixed to the top end of the other side of the fixing block 16. An electromagnet 28 is fixedly fixed to the top end of the side of the positioning block 17 close to the fixing block 16. With the setting of electromagnet 11 and electromagnet 28, when energized, electromagnet 11 and electromagnet 28 are in a magnetically attracted state, the positioning block 17 can approach the fixing block 16, thereby moving the positioning block 17 away from the sliding plate 11. The sliding plate 11 is released from restriction, and the door 2 can be opened and closed. When electromagnet 11 and electromagnet 28 are in a state of magnetic repulsion, the positioning block 17 moves away from the fixed block 16 and can be inserted into the positioning groove of the sliding plate 11, so that the sliding plate 11 is restricted by the positioning block 17 and the door 2 cannot move, so that the airtight door can remain stable when opening or closing.
[0036] A groove 23 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the door body 2. A lower sealing block 22 is connected to the inner cavity of the groove 23 by an electric telescopic rod 24. A sealing structure 5 is fixed on the inner side of the lower sealing block 22, and the bottom of the sealing structure 5 is flush with the bottom of the lower sealing block 22. By setting the electric telescopic rod 24, the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 24 can change the height of the lower sealing block 22 and the sealing structure 5 fixedly connected to it. When the lower sealing block 22 and the sealing structure 5 are in contact with the ground, the bottom of the door body 2 can be sealed by the lower sealing block 22 and the sealing structure 5. When the lower sealing block 22 and the sealing structure 5 are separated from the ground, it is convenient for the door body 2 to move.
[0037] The aforementioned sealing structure 5 includes a sealing cover 25. A support frame 26 is fixedly connected to the center of the inner cavity of the sealing cover 25. The support frame 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the lower sealing block 22. A compression plate 28 is connected to both the side of the support frame 26 away from the door body 2 and the side closer to the door body 2 via a spring 30, with the spring 30 in a contracted state. The compression plate 28 is fixedly connected to the front or back of the sealing cover 25. The front or back of the sealing cover 25 is a hollow structure, and the inner cavity of the front or back of the sealing cover 25 is filled with gas. A pressure sensor 31 is fixedly installed inside the inner cavity of the front or back of the sealing cover 25. The pressure sensor 31 allows for detection of leaks in the sealing cover 25. The sidewalls of the sealing cover 25 are wavy and extendable, allowing the distance between the compression plate 28 and the support frame 26 to change.
[0038] The extrusion plate 28 and the support frame 26 are movably connected by the positioning post 29. An electromagnet 27 is embedded in the support frame 26. When the electromagnet 27 is energized, it is magnetically attracted to the extrusion plate 28.
[0039] As can be seen from the above description of the sealing structure 5, when the electromagnet 27 is de-energized, the pressing plate 28 moves away from the support frame 26 under the action of the spring 30's rebound force, and the sealing cover 25 can seal the gap between the door body 2 and the wall, facilitating the use of the airtight door; when the electromagnet 27 is energized, the attraction between the electromagnet 27 and the pressing plate 28 causes the pressing plate 28 to move closer to the support frame 26, and the pressing plate 28 drives the sealing cover 25 to move, so that the sealing structure 5 can be separated from the wall and the door body 2, facilitating the movement of the sealing structure 5 and the door body 2.
[0040] An infrared sensor 3 is installed on one side of the door 2. The infrared sensor 3 can detect whether someone is passing by during the opening and closing of the door, so as to avoid people being caught when the door is closed.
[0041] All electrical components involved in this application are prior art. Those skilled in the art understand their connection methods. With the help of those skilled in the art, all electrical components in this application and their compatible power supplies can be connected by wires. According to the actual situation, a suitable controller can be selected to meet the control requirements. For specific connections and control sequences, please refer to the description below. The electrical connection between each electrical component is completed in the order of operation. The detailed connection methods are well known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control.
[0042] In summary: When the airtight door is in use, the servo motor 7 drives the door body 2 to move. During the movement of the door body 2, the signal generator 19 sends a signal. When the signal receiver 10 receives the signal, the door body 2 moves to the open or closed position. At this time, the servo motor 7 stops working, the positioning structure 12 works, and the positioning block 17 in the positioning structure 12 moves away from the fixed block 16 and is stuck in the positioning groove. The positioning block 17 is used to position the translation plate 11, so that the door body 2 remains stable when opening or closing.
[0043] When the door 2 is in the closed position, after the position of the door 2 is fixed, the electric telescopic rod 24 extends. The electric telescopic rod 24 drives the lower sealing block 22 and the sealing structure 5 to seal the bottom of the door 2. The electromagnet 3 27 is in the de-energized state. Under the action of the spring 30 connected to it, the pressing plate 28 drives the sealing cover 25 to move until the sealing cover 25 is tightly attached to the door 2 or the wall. The sealing cover 25 seals the gap between the door 2 and the wall, ensuring the airtightness of the airtight door and facilitating its use.
