Electric device for radially opening and closing swing gates and doors

Abstract

The present application is a device that allows the use of a radially driven gear motor to automatically open a swing gate and a door to rotate the end of a leaf attached to a strut about the axis thereof. The system may be activated by any remote system, such as a remote controller, a cellular phone, or the like, or manually activated using a button or switch with numeric keys. In particular, it consists of a pinion mounted on a gear motor shaft that drives a special toothed bushing. The gear motor is fixed on the same post on which the tensioner bushing and the lower bushing are mounted, which rotate about their own axes, allowing the gate or door leaf to open or close in a range of up to 180 DEG. The gear motor is mounted on a support system that releases traction between the pinions so that the brake can be manually opened in the event of a power outage.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application aims to propose an electric opening and closing device for radial swing gates and doors.

[0002] Specifically, the present application is a device that allows for the automatic opening of swing gates and doors using a radially driven gear motor, which rotates the ends of the sashes attached to the pillars about their axes. The system can be activated by any remote system, such as a remote control, a cell phone, or manually using a button or switch with a numeric keypad. In both cases, a limit switch sets the desired opening percentage within a range of 0° to 180°. Background Art

[0003] Currently, the market offers a variety of devices for automatically opening swing gates or doors. These devices allow for the opening of swing gates using hydraulic and mechanical rack systems. Both systems operate linearly, which significantly limits space requirements, as their installation requires certain parameters.

[0004] In addition to space limitations, these linear devices operate at very low speeds, so the time lag is high for both opening and closing the gate or door.

[0005] Another disadvantage is the difficulty in controlling the final position of the gate or door when opening and closing; this issue has received considerable user feedback.

[0006] Another system on the market is the sliding system, in which the sash moves in a straight line along a track and the gate is driven by an electric motor that transmits its energy through a pinion connected to a rack attached to the gate sash.

[0007] While this is the most common system, it also requires lateral space to move the gate when opening. Another disadvantage is that it relies on rails attached to the floor to guide the gate, which often become dirty, making operation difficult. Furthermore, the ground must be level for the gate to close properly; otherwise, a hole forms, causing rainwater to collect and making passage difficult.

[0008] This application proposes a solution based on providing an alternative for those who lack the space to install a sliding gate or do not meet the parameters and lengths that allow the installation of a hydraulic or mechanical linear swing gate system.

[0009] Another solution is to install the system at entrances at different levels on either side of the street. This system can also extend the door length to a width of 6 meters, thanks to a tensioning system that holds the door in place throughout the opening and closing process.

[0010] This device also offers a security advantage: sliding gates are notoriously easy to disassemble and are often stolen. The solution provided meets security requirements, as an angle grinder is required to cut the posts (using a bushing system that completely encloses the posts). It also features a tensioner on top, allowing for multiple attachment points throughout the structure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] Figure 3 :express Figure 1 Detail B, showing the lower hub (9) resting on the hub support (11) and the connection of the lower hub (9) to the gate or door leaf (1), all mounted on a pillar (2) which in turn is anchored to a concrete foundation.

[0014] Figure 4 : Shows Figure 1 In detail C, the drive system can be clearly seen, wherein the motor bracket (4) is fixed to the column (2) by a clamp integrally formed with the motor bracket (4), and the motor pinion (6) is engaged with the upper drive bushing (5), which in turn supports the door leaf (1). DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The device consists of an internal column (2) on which are mounted bushings with perforated fins for supporting the weight of the door or gate (1) to be automated. A gear is mounted and fixed in one of the bushings and is driven radially by a drive system (3) comprising a speed reducer with an output shaft gear and mounted on a support frame (4) connected to the same column (2) that supports the door leaf.

[0016] The drive system (3) is controlled by an electronic control panel equipped with different relays that can be used to open and close the door or gate via a control device, switch or mobile phone. The mechanical system can be manufactured in different specifications according to the use requirements and size requirements. The column (2) can be embedded in its base through concrete (10) or fixed to the existing road surface by bolts. After the column (2) is fixed, the following elements must be installed in order: 1. The lower support bushing (11), which consists of a ring welded to the column with hexagon socket studs.

[0017] 2. Lower bushing (9), which is mounted in the support ring. This bushing has lubricant distribution grooves and grease fittings to provide smoothness to the process.

[0018] 3. Dust cover, which is composed of a rubber ring to prevent the grease from being contaminated by dust and protect the joint from rain.

[0019] 4. Upper support bushing (11), which performs the same function as the lower support bushing.

[0020] 5. Upper drive hub (5) which has the particularity of having a machined gear wheel on its upper part; this is responsible for transmitting the folding movement of the gate leaf.

[0021] 6. Dust cover.

[0022] 7. A drive system (3) or drive hinge consisting of a metal base attached to the support by a clamp. A gear motor is mounted vertically downward on its output shaft at the base (4), wherein the gear motor has a gear (6) mounted in such a way as to mesh with the upper drive bushing (5). An electronic board is attached to the motor, which controls the system using various means.

[0023] 8. At the upper end of the pillar, a third upper tensioner bushing (13) and its corresponding support are installed, which supports the weight of the sash through the tensioner (8) from the end of the sash (1).

[0024] 9. Once the mechanical elements are installed, the gate or door leaf (1) is installed. The leaf can be made of iron or wood, depending on the user's preference. The leaf can be bolted or simply welded to the bushing.

[0025] 10. The opposite end of the pillar has a closing pillar (12) which is where the electric lock and the stop that allows the door to be positioned in the enclosure are mounted.
