However, the prior art has obvious deficiencies in the design of the limiting function. The precise control and stable holding function when the door panel runs to the open / close limit position is deficient in the following aspects. The existing hidden automatic folding door (publication number: CN208024194U) has some drawbacks and needs to be further improved.
[0003] The existing electric folding door in the prior art uses mechanical limiting device or simple electrical limiting device to realize limiting control, but has obvious deficiencies. The mechanical limiting device relies on fixed contacts for limiting, and the position cannot be flexibly adjusted. Long-term use can cause precision to decrease or trigger position to deviate due to mechanical wear, thereby causing the door panel to run out of position or exceed the limit. In addition, the traditional equipment only relies on a single limiting device to realize open / close control, lacks multiple protection mechanisms and redundant design, and once the device fails, the door panel may run out of limit, causing equipment damage or safety accidents. At the same time, it is also impossible to dynamically adjust the limiting point according to the door panel load or scene demand, which significantly limits its applicability and operation safety. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated limiting adjustment electric folding door. SUMMARY

[0023] EMBODIMENT
[0024] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 The utility model provides a technical scheme:
[0025] The door plate 1 is internally mounted with a hinge 2, one side of the door plate 1 is mounted with a power supply 3, one side of the power supply 3 is mounted with a fuse 4, one side of the fuse 4 is mounted with a main controller 5, the main controller 5 is mounted with a wire harness 6, one end of the wire harness 6 is mounted with a motor 7, the motor 7 is mounted with a speed reducer 8, one side of the speed reducer 8 is mounted with a chain belt 9, the chain belt 9 is mounted below a pulley 10;
[0026] The door plate 1 is internally mounted with a reflective sensor 1101, a reflective plate 1102, a main driven spring switch 1201, a driven spring switch 1202, a main driven neodymium magnet 1301, and a driven neodymium magnet 1302.
[0027] The folding door includes a door plate 1, which is flexibly connected by a hinge 2, the hinge 2 is fixed on the inner side edge of the door plate by M6 bolts and embedded in the mounting hole with a reserved hole diameter of 6.5mm to enhance stability and smooth operation. The driving force is provided by the power supply 3, the fuse 4, the main controller 5, the motor 7 connected by the wire harness 6, the motor 7 is fixed with the speed reducer 8 through the flange plate, and the chain belt 9 drives the pulley 10, the pulley is embedded in the guide rail to ensure the smooth operation of the door plate in the track. During the operation of the door plate, the reflective sensor 1101 and the reflective plate 1102 form a light path with an inductive distance of 30mm to 50mm, the light path closure signal triggers the motor 7 to stop running through the main controller 5, the vertical error of the light path is controlled within ±2°, and the limit accuracy is guaranteed. The component interacts with the pulley 10 to make the door plate stop accurately when reaching the set position.
[0028] The power transmission part drives the pulley 10 to run by the chain belt 9, the pulley and the guide rail adopt rolling contact design, the pulley has an outer diameter of 50mm and an inner diameter of 15mm, and the running resistance is reduced by ball bearings to ensure the smooth sliding of the door plate. The reflective sensor 1101 and the reflective plate 1102 are installed in the middle area of the guide rail to form a light path detection system, and the limit signal of the closed state is provided by allowing the error of the accurate light path alignment to be ≤±2°. In addition, the chain belt 9 is adjusted by the tensioning block, interacts with the sprocket of the speed reducer 8, provides power transmission, and ensures the reliable operation of the door plate.
[0029] The controller 5 is in series with the power supply 3 and the fuse 4, controlling the start and stop of the motor 7. The reflective sensor 1101 and the reflective plate 1102 interact through the light path to provide a switching signal, and the active spring switch 1201 and the driven spring switch 1202 cooperate with the active neodymium magnet 1301 and the driven neodymium magnet 1302 through magnetic field induction to provide a second layer of position limiting protection for the device. When the door panel runs to the closed state, the driven neodymium magnet 1302 induces the driven spring switch 1202, triggering the main controller signal to stop the motor 7 from running. At the same time, the active neodymium magnet 1301 and the driven neodymium magnet 1302 hold the door panel in the closed position through a magnetic attraction force of 50N to 80N, preventing loosening caused by external interference.
[0030] The light path detection provides the main limiting function, and its signal triggers the main controller to directly stop the motor from running. The magnetic induction signal serves as a redundant protection, and when the light path signal is not triggered, the main controller takes over the operation control through the time sequence priority logic, ensuring accurate stopping of the door body. Through the design of time window synchronization, the conflict rate of the two signals has been verified to be reduced to 0% through experiments.
[0031] Attractive force range 50N to 80N:
[0032] When the attractive force is less than 50N, the magnetic attraction force is not enough to resist the loosening of the door body caused by external force or vibration in the closed state.
[0033] When the attractive force is greater than 80N, the excessive attractive force will generate additional resistance to the folding operation of the door body, affecting the operation efficiency.
[0034] Through experiments, it is determined that a magnetic attraction force of about 70N achieves a balance between stable closure and operation efficiency.
[0035] Attractive distance 2mm to 4mm:
[0036] When the attractive distance is less than 2mm, the gap between the neodymium magnets is too small, which may cause mechanical interference during closure.
[0037] When the attractive distance is greater than 4mm, the magnetic attraction force decays significantly and cannot provide effective holding force.
[0038] The attractive force range is selected to be 50N to 80N, and the attractive distance is set to be 2mm to 4mm, among which the combination of 70N and 3mm achieves the best balance between door body closure stability and operation efficiency. Too small attractive force cannot stabilize the door body, and too large attractive force will increase the running resistance.
[0039] The basic principle and main features of the present application and the advantages of the present application are shown and described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above examples, and the above examples and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principles of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, various changes and improvements can be made to the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
