TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic door opener, especially to a straight arm door opener which can be self-locked and manually opened after power failure. BACKGROUND
[0002] In large swing door application scenarios, traditional straight arm door openers face many safety hazards after power supply interruption. These large doors are usually used in warehouses, factories, large shopping malls and other places, and their safety and reliability are crucial for protecting property and personnel safety.
[0003] The existing traditional straight arm door opener often cannot maintain the effective locking state of the door body after power failure, mainly because many traditional designs rely on power to drive the locking mechanism. Once the power is off, these mechanisms fail, leaving the door body in an unlocked state. In this case, unauthorized personnel can easily break in, posing a serious threat to valuable items or equipment stored behind the large swing door.
[0004] In addition, in emergency situations such as fires, earthquakes and other emergencies, power interruption is a common phenomenon. For large swing door scenarios, if the door opener lacks a manual unlocking function, users may face difficulties in quickly opening the door body during escape. This not only exacerbates panic, but also may delay valuable emergency response time, increasing the risk of casualties.
[0005] More seriously, some traditional door openers have locking functions even after power failure, but their locking mechanisms may not be stable enough and are easily damaged by external forces. In large swing door application scenarios, this safety hazard is particularly deadly, because once the door is damaged, the consequences will be catastrophic. At the same time, the lack of manual unlocking function or complex operation also limits the user's self-rescue ability in emergency situations. SUMMARY

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, as Figures 1-3 As shown, the power unit 1 comprises a motor 1-1 and its planetary reducer, an output shaft 1-2, the output shaft 1-2 is engaged with the telescopic unit 2, the release unit 3 comprises a fixed rod 3-1, a sliding plate surface 3-2 and an unlocking mechanism 3-3, a spring 3-4 is arranged between the fixed rod 3-1 and the sliding plate surface 3-2, the motor 1-1 is fixed on the sliding plate surface 3-2, after the unlocking mechanism 3-3 is unlocked, the spring 3-4 pushes the sliding plate surface 3-2 to drive the motor 1-1 to make the output shaft 1-2 disengage from the engagement connection with the telescopic unit 2.
[0027] Specifically, the motor 1-1 in the power unit 1 is connected with the telescopic unit 2 through the output shaft 1-2 after the torque is increased through the planetary reducer, so that the power is efficiently transmitted, and the door body is stably opened and closed. The design of the output shaft 1-2 makes the connection between the power unit 1 and the telescopic unit 2 more compact, facilitating the integrated design of the whole door opener. The spring 3-4 in the release unit 3 is arranged between the fixed rod 3-1 and the sliding plate surface 3-2. When the unlocking mechanism 3-3 is unlocked, the spring 3-4 can automatically push the sliding plate surface 3-2 and the motor 1-1 to move, so that the output shaft 1-2 is disconnected with the telescopic unit 2, realizing quick and convenient unlocking operation.
