Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a foot-operated door opening device and a foot-operated door opening method. Background Art

[0002] In places with large traffic flow, such as office buildings, there are gates at the entrances and exits. In these places, people generally do not carry large luggage and need to pass through quickly to avoid crowds. Especially during rush hours, how to achieve quick passage has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Currently, there are many gates on the market that use facial recognition or card swipe recognition.

[0003] Therefore, for situations where people don't carry large, dragging luggage like suitcases or carts, the current non-powered, automatic reset doors used in such situations typically require manual pushing or physical contact while moving forward to push the door open. These automatic reset doors present two major issues: People prioritize public health and safety, avoiding touching surfaces like public facilities; and, as entrance doors, they generally prohibit exiting through them. However, due to their functional limitations, people inside can exit by pulling the door in the opposite direction.

[0004] Based on the above two problems, a foot-operated door opening device is designed. By stepping on a marked door opening pedal on the ground, the door panel is driven to open, thereby avoiding people's hands or bodies from touching the door body, reducing the risk of infection from bacteria, viruses or related infectious diseases (especially in hospitals), and people can pass through smoothly in a state similar to normal walking, with a better experience; to address the problem of people who have entered the designated area coming out in the opposite direction, this device is designed with a locking mechanism, which can only be unlocked by stepping on the door opening pedal, and can continue to drive the door body to open, but cannot be turned to open by hand.

[0052] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0053] When someone passes by, step on the door opening pedal according to the instructions on the door panel or the door opening pedal. The door opening pedal drives the internal mechanism to move, the door opening pedal runs to a horizontal state, and the door panel opens clockwise.

[0054] After the door is opened, the passerby steps forward with his other foot, continues to move forward, lifts the foot on the door opening pedal, steps forward, and leaves the passage. The door panel rotates counterclockwise to the closed state and locks under the action of the spring, returning to the state of step S1.

[0055] In step S1 initial state;

[0056] First, under the action of the return compression spring, the rack and gear mesh, generating a counterclockwise rotation torque. The return compression spring presses against the rack connecting block, causing it to maintain a tendency to move to the right. The right inclined surface on the other side of the rack connecting block contacts the driving roller. Then, the driving roller is connected to the connecting rod slider A via the pin A. The connecting rod slider A is connected to the driving connecting rod, thereby applying a pushing force to the door opening pedal, keeping it in a tilted state. Secondly, the torsion spring has the function of overcoming the gravity of the door opening pedal, assisting the door opening pedal in returning to its original position and compensating for the elastic force of the return compression spring.

[0057] In step S2, when the door panel is in the closed state, it cannot be opened by pushing or pulling the door panel manually. The only way to unlock the door panel is to step on the door pedal and drive the door panel to open.

[0058] When a person passes by and starts to step on the door opening pedal, first, it is buffered by the buffer spring and the buffer guide rod; then, after the door opening pedal is stepped on to a set stroke, the door opening pedal presses on the unlocking roller; secondly, the unlocking slider moves downward, causing the unlocking protrusion on the unlocking slider to move downward, thereby pushing the unlocking rod to rotate clockwise to a set angle, so that the door shaft locking rod is free from the restriction of the unlocking rod. At the same time, the buffer guide rod compresses the buffer spring; thirdly, after unlocking, the door opening pedal continues to be stepped on, and the driving connecting rod continues to push, transmitting power to the rack and gear, thereby causing the door panel to open;

[0059] When the door panel is fully opened, the door opening pedal is limited by support block A and long support block B, providing support for the door opening pedal to ensure the stability of the structure and the safety experience of fellow passengers.

[0060] Return to the initial state; first, the passer-by steps on the door opening pedal with one foot. When the door panel opens, the passer-by continues to move forward and steps out with the other foot. Then, the passer-by lifts the foot on the door opening pedal and steps forward to leave the passage. Under the elastic action of the reset compression spring, buffer spring, torsion spring and unlocking compression spring, the door opening pedal returns to its initial state.

[0061] The invention has reasonable design, low cost, durability, safety and reliability, simple operation, time and labor saving, money saving, compact structure and convenient use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0073] like Figure 1-10 In the embodiment of the present invention, as an illustration of an opening and closing door, the door panel 42 is described in the closed state and the open state:

[0074] 1. When no one is passing, the door panel 42 is closed and the door opening pedal 39 at the bottom is in an inclined state, with a 30-degree inclination to the ground. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 .

[0075] 2. When someone passes by, follow the instructions on the door panel 42 or the door opening pedal 39 and step on the door opening pedal 39. The door opening pedal 39 drives the internal mechanism to operate. When the door opening pedal 39 moves to a horizontal state, the door panel 42 opens clockwise. Figure 3 .

[0076] 3. After the door is opened, the passerby steps forward with his other foot, continues to move forward, lifts the foot on the door opening pedal 39, steps forward, and leaves the passage. The door panel 42 rotates counterclockwise to the closed state and locks under the action of the return spring, returning to the state in step 1 above.

[0077] like Figure 1-10 , the overall structure of the present invention is described in detail;

[0078] 1. Schematic diagram of the main components, which include a bottom drive assembly arranged on the bottom, a door shaft 1 arranged on the bottom drive assembly, a door panel 42 arranged on the side of the door shaft 1 and a top support assembly arranged on the door shaft 1; when the door panel 42 is closed, the door opening pedal is tilted up at 30 degrees.

[0079] 2. Main structural connection instructions

[0080] The bearing fixing seat 3 is fixed on the equipment casing, the rotating support member 2 is installed on the bearing fixing seat 3, and the door shaft 1 is installed on the rotating support member 2 to form a rotating connection.

[0081] The return compression spring guide sleeve 6 is fixed on the equipment housing to limit the return compression spring 7 Figure 1 For the displacement on the left side, the return compression spring guide rod 8 and the return compression spring guide sleeve 6 form a sliding connection.

[0082] The rack connecting block 9 is fixed on the rack 5 at its left side, and its middle part is connected to the slider of the linear guide 10 by screws, and its right inclined surface forms a rolling connection with the driving roller 11.

[0083] The driving roller 11 is in rolling connection with the connecting rod slider A13 via the pin A12.

[0084] The connecting rod slider A13 is slidably connected through the buffer spring 14 and the buffer guide rod 15.

[0085] The driving connecting rod 20 is rotationally connected to the connecting rod slider A13 through the pin B16.

[0086] The driving connecting rod 20 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod seat 21 through the pin C22.

[0087] The hinge 26 is connected to the torsion spring support 25 and the door opening pedal 39 on both sides.

[0088] The unlocking roller 28 is rotationally connected to the unlocking slider 27 via a pin D46.

[0089] The unlocking slide 27 is in sliding connection with two guide rods on the unlocking guide column 30 .

[0090] The unlocking rod 33 is rotatably connected to the guide rod on the tension spring base 32 .

[0091] The unlocking tension spring 31 pulls one end of the unlocking long rod 33 to make it rotate counterclockwise, and the other end presses on the unlocking slider 27 to limit its rotation position.

[0092] When the unlocking slider 27 is pressed down, the unlocking protrusion 47 moves downward, pushing open the unlocking long rod 33, causing it to rotate clockwise a certain angle, and the door shaft locking rod 34 breaks away from the clockwise rotation restriction of the unlocking long rod 33.

[0093] 3. Analysis of main movements

[0094] 1 Initial state

[0095] Under the action of return compression spring 7, rack 5 meshes with gear 4, generating a counterclockwise rotational torque. Return compression spring 7 presses against rack connecting block 9, maintaining its rightward motion. The other side of rack connecting block 9 contacts drive roller 11, which is connected to connecting rod slider A13 via pin A12. Connecting rod slider A13 is connected to drive link 20, thereby applying forward pressure to door opening pedal 39, keeping it tilted 30 degrees. The two torsion springs 24 overcome the weight of the door opening pedal and assist in its return, preventing insufficient elastic force from the return compression spring 7 and ensuring smooth operation of the mechanism.

[0096] 2 Door open state

[0097] When the door device is in the closed state, the door cannot be opened by pushing or pulling the door panel 42, so an in-position locking mechanism is designed in the device, which can only be unlocked by stepping on the door pedal to drive the door panel 42 to open. When the passerby starts to step on the door opening pedal 39, in order to solve the conflicting interference problem caused by the simultaneous driving of the unlocking mechanism and the connecting rod drive mechanism, a spring buffer mechanism is designed at the connection position of the driving connecting rod 20 and the connecting rod slider A13, that is, a buffer spring 14 and a buffer guide rod 15 are added. In this way, when the door opening pedal is just stepped on a certain stroke, the door opening pedal 39 presses on the unlocking roller 28, and the unlocking slider 27 moves down, causing the unlocking protrusion 47 on the unlocking slider to move down, thereby pushing the unlocking long rod 33 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle, so that the door shaft locking rod 34 is free from the restriction of the unlocking long rod 33. At this time, the buffer guide rod 15 compresses the buffer spring 14 to a certain extent, so that the entire drive mechanism will not eventually press the rack hard on the gear after transmission. After unlocking, the door opening pedal continues to be stepped on, and the driving connecting rod 20 can continue to push the mechanism to move, and the end of the mechanism transmits power to the rack and pinion mechanism, thereby causing the door panel 42 to open.

[0098] After the door panel 42 is fully opened, the state of the bottom drive mechanism is as shown in the figure below. The two support blocks A35 and the long support block B36 are intended to provide support to the door opening pedal 39 when the passers-by step on the door opening pedal, ensuring the stability of the structure and the safety experience of the passers-by.

[0099] 3Restore to initial state

[0100] The passerby steps on the door opening pedal 39 with one foot, and after the door panel 42 opens, he continues to move forward, steps out with the other foot, then lifts the foot that is stepping on the door opening pedal and steps forward to leave the passage. At this time, the entire mechanism moves under the elastic action of the reset compression spring 7, buffer spring 14, torsion spring 24, and unlocking compression spring 29, and the door opening pedal 39 returns to its initial state.

[0101] The buffer spring 14 has a buffer stroke compared to the action when the door opening pedal is stepped on. During this process, since there is no large resistance, the buffer spring 14 can be considered to have a very small virtual stroke, so that the unlocking protrusion 47 can first pass through one end of the unlocking long rod 33, and then the door shaft locking rod 34 is about to return to its initial state. It presses on the other end of the unlocking long rod 33, overcomes the tension of the unlocking tension spring 31, turns to the locking angle, and is locked by the unlocking long rod 33.

[0102] 4 Other structural descriptions

[0103] In addition to the above-mentioned main structures, in order to ensure the normal passage of passers-by, sheet metal covers A50, B51 and C52 need to be installed so that passers-by can pass smoothly with their feet when stepping on the upper surface of the passage. When the door opening pedal 39 is in the bounced state, the highest point is 75 mm from the ground, and when the door opening pedal is completely dropped, the height from the ground is 44 mm. The lower stepping height makes it easier for people to operate.

[0104] The surface of the door opening pedal 39 is installed with an anti-skid rubber pad 53, which can play an anti-skid role. Compared with the surrounding sheet metal materials, it has a more eye-catching reminder effect, and a text logo "Step on the door to open" can be pasted.

[0105] In order to meet the need to prevent large particles of dust and debris from the opening of the door pedal, a spandex high-elastic cloth 54 or other elastic material is used, with one end of the cloth being connected to the door pedal 39 on all sides, and the other end being connected to the sheet metal cover B51 on all sides. When the door pedal is raised to the maximum height, the maximum straight-line distance of the gap at the opening is 36 mm. The use of a high-elastic material with a thickness of about 1 mm can meet the stretching rate requirement. When the door pedal is stepped on, the material can be retracted into the gap around the door pedal (controlled within 5 to 8 mm) without affecting the operation of the mechanism.
