[0055] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0056] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in this disclosure can be combined with each other. The technical solutions of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0057] Unless otherwise stated, the exemplary implementations / embodiments shown are to be understood as providing exemplary features of various details that provide ways in which the technical concepts of this disclosure can be implemented in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the features of various implementations / embodiments may be additionally combined, separated, interchanged and / or rearranged without departing from the technical concepts of this disclosure.

[0058] The use of crosshairs and / or shading in the accompanying drawings is generally used to clarify the boundaries between adjacent components. Thus, unless otherwise stated, the presence or absence of crosshairs or shading does not convey or indicate any preference or requirement for the specific material, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonalities between the illustrated components, or any other characteristics, properties, etc., of the components. Furthermore, in the accompanying drawings, the dimensions and relative dimensions of components may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes.

It should also be noted that, as used herein, the terms “substantially,” “about,” and other similar terms are used as approximate terms rather than as terms of degree, thus explaining the inherent biases in measurements, calculated values, and / or provided values ​​that would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0062] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an automatic door system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic door system disclosed herein can be applied to automated equipment, such as a frame structure with an opening, and the automatic door system can open or close the opening.

[0064] Specifically, the automatic door system disclosed herein may include components such as a first guide rail 100, a second guide rail 200, a door assembly 300, and a drive device 400.

[0065] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first guide rail of an automatic door system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, the first guide track 100 of this disclosure includes a first vertical segment 110, a first horizontal segment 120, and a first connecting segment 130 connecting the first vertical segment 110 and the first horizontal segment 120; similarly, the second guide track 200 includes a second vertical segment 210, a second horizontal segment 220, and a second connecting segment 230 connecting the second vertical segment 210 and the second horizontal segment 220.

[0067] When the automatic door system is in the closed state, at least a portion of the door assembly 300 is located at the first vertical section 110 and the second vertical section 210, and is able to close the opening of the automated equipment. When the automatic door system is in the open state, at least a portion of the door assembly 300 is located at the first horizontal section 120 and the second horizontal section 220, and is able to open the opening of the automated equipment.

[0068] Specifically, when the automatic door system of this disclosure is installed on an automated device, the first vertical section 110 is disposed on one side of the opening of the automated device, the second vertical section 210 is disposed on the other side of the opening of the automated device, and both the first vertical section 110 and the second vertical section 210 are disposed approximately vertically, and both the first horizontal section 120 and the second horizontal section 220 are disposed on the automated device and located above the opening.

[0069] In other words, the first guide rail 100 and the second guide rail 200 of this disclosure are arranged in parallel, and the second guide rail 200 and the first guide rail 100 are spaced apart from each other. In this case, the door assembly 300 will be arranged between the first guide rail 100 and the second guide rail 200. The parallel arrangement of the first guide rail 100 and the second guide rail 200 of this disclosure means that the plane on which the first guide rail 100 is located is parallel or approximately parallel to the plane on which the second guide rail 200 is located.

[0070] The first guide rail 100 and the second guide rail 200 of this disclosure have a symmetrical structure. Taking the first guide rail 100 as an example, a guide groove is formed on the first guide rail 100. The guide groove can be a T-shaped groove, and the openings of the first guide rail 100 and the T-shaped groove are opposite to the openings of the second guide rail 200.

[0071] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a door assembly of an automatic door system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first connecting hinge 320 of an automatic door system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second connecting hinge 330 of an automatic door system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0072] The two ends of the door assembly 300 disclosed herein are respectively movably disposed on the first guide rail 100 and the second guide rail 200.

[0073] Specifically, the door assembly 300 of this disclosure includes a plurality of curtain slats 310, each curtain slat 310 having a first connecting hinge 320 at its first end and a second connecting hinge 330 at its second end, wherein adjacent first connecting hinges 320 are rotatably connected to each other and adjacent second connecting hinges 330 are rotatably connected to each other.

[0074] Thus, these slats 310 can be arranged roughly parallel to each other and together form a door.

[0075] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, two adjacent first connecting hinges 320 are rotatably connected by a first hinge shaft 340, wherein a first roller 350 is provided on the first hinge shaft 340, the first roller 350 is rotatably disposed on the first guide rail 100, and the first roller 350 is able to move relative to the first guide rail 100.

[0076] Similarly, two adjacent second connecting hinges 330 are rotatably connected by a second hinge shaft 360, wherein a second roller 370 is provided on the second hinge shaft 360 and the second roller 370 is rotatably disposed on the second guide rail 200.

[0077] The first connecting hinge 320 and the second connecting hinge 330 of this disclosure have the same structure. Taking the first connecting hinge 320 as an example, the first connecting hinge 320 includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The first end of the first connecting hinge 320 is provided with a notch, and the second end of the first connecting hinge 320 is formed with a protrusion. The protrusion of one of the two adjacent first connecting hinges 320 can be inserted into the groove of the other first connecting hinge 320. At this time, the first hinge shaft 340 can pass through the two side walls of the notch and the protrusion, so that the two adjacent first connecting hinges 320 are rotatably connected.

[0078] The drive device 400 disclosed herein is used to drive the door assembly 300 to move along the first guide rail 100 and the second guide rail 200.

[0079] Specifically, the drive device 400 includes a first drive component 410 and a second drive component 420, the first drive component 410 being connected to a first connecting hinge 320 and the second drive component 420 being connected to a second connecting hinge 330.

[0080] Preferably, the first drive assembly 410 and the second drive assembly 420 have the same structure. Taking the first drive assembly 410 as an example, the first drive assembly 410 includes a first motor 411, a first driving wheel 412, a first driven wheel 413, and a first transmission component 414.

[0081] The first motor 411 of this disclosure can be directly or indirectly fixed to the frame structure of the automation equipment. The first drive wheel 412 is disposed on the output shaft of the first motor 411 and is driven to rotate by the first motor 411. The first driven wheel 413 and the first drive wheel 412 are driven by the first transmission member 414, wherein the first connecting hinge 320 is fixed to the first transmission member 414.

[0082] In a preferred embodiment, the first driving pulley 412 and the first driven pulley 413 can be synchronous belt pulleys, and the first transmission member 414 can be a synchronous belt. Furthermore, multiple first driven pulleys 413 can be provided. Additionally, the first drive assembly 410 may include a reversing pulley 415, which is disposed outside the first transmission member 414 to change the direction of movement of the first transmission member 414.

[0083] The automatic door system disclosed herein utilizes the cooperation of guide rails and rollers to ensure smooth guiding and reduce power consumption. Power is controlled by a stepper motor, with the machine's PLC controlling the motor's forward and reverse rotation to open and close the automatic door system, achieving automatic opening and closing. Furthermore, the curtain slats can be made of different materials (e.g., plastic or iron) and connected by hinges. Thus, when the hinges and rollers move along the guide rail, the curtain slats move smoothly along the rail. The entire structure makes full use of limited space, compressing power and guidance together to meet functional requirements.
