Although the traditional rigid doors have a stable structure, they are often inconvenient to operate during the opening and closing process due to their large size and heavy weight, and are easily affected by the external environment, such as wind and temperature. Especially in industries such as steel, smelting, and energy processing, the doors need to be opened and closed frequently, and the durability and safety of the doors are extremely high.

[0003] To solve the above problems, flexible doors came into being. Flexible doors are made of high-strength and lightweight materials, and have the advantages of light weight, easy installation, good sealing performance, and strong wind resistance. Among them, the lifting mechanism, as the core component of the flexible door, is directly related to the opening and closing effect of the door.

[0004] The existing flexible door lifting mechanism usually adopts a single large motor, and realizes the lifting and lowering of the flexible door through the transmission shafts on both sides of the motor. The above technical solution has at least the following technical problems:

[0005] 1. Using a single motor to drive the lifting of the flexible door places high demands on the motor and increases the power of the motor. It also places a large instantaneous load on the structure where the motor is located and places relatively high demands on the structure.

[0006] 2. Because the transmission shafts on both sides of the motor are long, the requirements for the transmission shafts are also relatively high, which can easily lead to asynchrony.

[0007] 3. The entire lifting device has only two steel ropes connecting the flexible door, which poses a great safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 The present embodiment provides a lifting mechanism for a flexible door, comprising: a plurality of lifting units, any lifting unit comprising a power element 1 and two lifting drive mechanisms, the lifting drive mechanisms comprising a base 2, a transmission shaft 3, a drum 4 and a wire rope 5, the base 2 is used to be connected to the door frame of the flexible door, the transmission shaft 3 is rotatably arranged on the base 2, the drum 4 is arranged on the transmission shaft 3, and the central axis of the drum 4 coincides with the central axis of the transmission shaft 3, one end of the wire rope 5 is fixed on the drum 4, and the wire rope 5 is spirally wound on the outer wall of the drum 4, and the power element 1 is respectively connected to the transmission shafts 3 of the two lifting drive mechanisms.

[0033] In this embodiment, the flexible door is lifted and lowered by a plurality of lifting units, which can effectively improve the load capacity of the lifting mechanism, the reliability of the operation of the lifting mechanism, and the lifting efficiency of the lifting mechanism. Specifically, the power element 1 where any lifting unit is located is used to provide power for the lifting drive mechanism on both sides thereof, so that the lifting drive mechanisms on both sides of the power element 1 can synchronously retract and release the steel wire rope 5, thereby pulling the lifting and lowering of the flexible door.

[0034] In this embodiment, the base 2 is fixedly mounted on the door frame or building of the flexible gate. The base 2 is used to install the transmission shaft 3 and the drum 4. The transmission shaft 3 can rotate freely on the base 2. The drum 4 is fixed on the transmission shaft 3, and the transmission shaft 3 and the drum 4 rotate coaxially, so that the transmission shaft 3 can transmit the output power to the drum 4, and control the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the transmission shaft 3 to realize the rotation of the drum 4 to retract the wire rope 5, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the flexible gate. The two ends of the wire rope 5 are respectively fixed to the bottom of the flexible gate and the drum 4, and the wire rope 5 is retracted and released by the rotation of the drum 4, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the flexible gate.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some implementations of this embodiment, the transmission shaft 3 and the power element 1 are connected via a coupling 6 .

[0036] It should be noted that the coupling 6 is a key part of mechanical transmission and electric transmission. Its main function is to connect the electric motor with the internal combustion engine or other high-speed power source so that the power can be transmitted to the output shaft, and at the same time, the torque from the load is transmitted to the driving shaft to drive the load to rotate. It can also connect two shafts or a shaft and a rotating part, and rotate together during the process of transmitting motion and power, and will not be disengaged under normal circumstances. The coupling 6 not only has a connecting function, but also can realize safety protection functions such as speed change, braking, separation, overload protection, as well as control or adjustment functions such as steering and positioning. At startup, the coupling 6 can also prepare and protect the motor for startup.

[0037] In this embodiment, the coupling 6 is used to connect the power element 1 and the lifting drive mechanism so that the power output by the power element 1 is transmitted to the reel 4, and when the power element 1 is started, the coupling 6 can also prepare and protect it for startup, which can further improve the service life of each power element 1.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 In some implementations of this embodiment, the power element 1 is a double-headed motor.

[0039] In this embodiment, the double-headed motor is used to output power symmetrically in both directions, so that the lifting drive mechanisms on both sides of the power element 1 can work together to synchronously lift the flexible door. Specifically, the working principle of the double-headed motor is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When current passes through the stator coil, a rotating magnetic field is generated inside the stator. The magnetic poles on the double-ended rotor interact with the rotating magnetic field, causing the rotor itself to start rotating. The output torque of this motor is greater than that of a single-headed motor, so it has higher efficiency, and its operating noise is relatively low.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some implementations of the present embodiment, a rope-laying mechanism is provided on the base 2, and the rope-laying mechanism includes a screw rod 7, a sliding seat 8, a guide pulley 9 and a guide rod 10. The screw rod 7 is rotatably provided on the base 2, and the guide rod 10 is fixedly provided on the base 2. The screw rod 7 and the guide rod 10 are both passed through the sliding seat 8. The screw rod 7 and the sliding seat 8 are threadedly connected, and the sliding seat 8 slides freely along the guide rod 10. The guide pulley 9 is rotatably provided on the sliding seat 8, and the wire rope 5 is passed through the guide pulley 9. The screw rod 7 is connected to the transmission shaft 3 through a transmission assembly.

[0041] In this embodiment, the rope arrangement mechanism is used to arrange the steel wire rope 5 wound on the drum 4 closely along the axial direction of the drum 4 to avoid the steel wire rope 5 from piling up or being dispersedly arranged on the drum 4, thereby effectively preventing dislocation and entanglement.

[0042] Specifically, the screw rod 7 is used to obtain power and then rotate, thereby driving the sliding seat 8 to slide on the guide rod 10. The sliding seat 8 is used to install the guide pulley 9 so that the guide pulley 9 can move along the axis of the drum 4. The guide pulley 9 is used to position the guide wire rope 5 to prevent the wire rope 5 from being concentrated on the drum 4. The guide rod 10 is used to cooperate with the screw rod 7 to drive the sliding seat 8, so that the rotational movement of the screw rod 7 is converted into the linear movement of the sliding seat 8.

[0043] When in use, the above-mentioned screw rod 7 is used to rotate after obtaining the kinetic energy transmitted by the transmission component, and then the sliding seat 8 is driven laterally on the guide rod 10. The laterally sliding sliding seat 8 cooperates with the rotation of the drum 4, so that the wire rope 5 positioned by the guide pulley 9 on the sliding seat 8 can be evenly spirally arranged on the outer wall of the drum 4.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some implementations of the present embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a first pulley 11, a second pulley 12 and a conveyor belt 13. The first pulley 11 is arranged on the screw rod 7, the second pulley 12 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 3, and the first pulley 11 and the second pulley 12 are connected by the conveyor belt 13.

[0045] In this embodiment, the transmission of power between the first pulley 11 and the second pulley 12 mainly depends on the friction between the conveyor belt 13 and the first pulley 11 and the second pulley 12. When the second pulley 12 rotates under the drive of the transmission shaft 3, the conveyor belt 13 starts to move due to the friction of the second pulley 12; when the conveyor belt 13 enters the contact area of ​​the first pulley 11, the first pulley 11 starts to rotate due to the friction of the belt, thereby driving the rotation of the screw rod 7. Since the rotation of the screw rod 7 and the transmission shaft is the same power source, it is convenient for the two to synchronously adjust the retraction and release of the wire rope 5 and the arrangement of the wire rope 5 on the surface of the drum 4.

[0046] In other embodiments, the transmission mechanism may also be a sprocket transmission.

[0047] When in use, according to the lateral width and weight of the flexible gate, a corresponding number of lifting units are selected, and multiple lifting units are arranged horizontally on the top of the door frame where the flexible gate is installed. Then the base 2 and the power element 1 of the lifting unit are installed along the same horizontal line, and the movement of the double-headed motor is controlled. The transmission shaft 3 at both ends of the double-headed motor rotates, and the rotation of the rotating shaft drives the second pulley 12 to rotate. The second pulley 12 transmits power to the first pulley 11 through the transmission belt, and the first pulley 11 drives the screw rod 7 connected thereto. The above-mentioned screw rod 7 obtains kinetic energy and rotates, and drives the sliding seat 8 horizontally on the guide rod 10. The horizontally sliding sliding seat 8 cooperates with the rotation of the drum 4, so that the wire rope 5 positioned by the guide pulley 9 on the sliding seat 8 is evenly spirally arranged on the outer wall of the drum 4.

[0048] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
