Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an electric double-leaf swing door, specifically to an electric double-leaf swing door with a non-contact detection safety switch. Background Technology

[0002] Electric double-leaf swing doors are motor-driven swing doors that open and close synchronously. They are commonly used as entrances in hotels, shopping malls, and villa elevators. The opening of these doors is typically controlled by sensors or manual intervention, and they automatically close after a certain delay. Even if there are people or objects in the area between the two doors, they will continue to close until one or both doors push against or trap a person or object, creating sufficient closing resistance that stalls the motor. The motor current exceeds the control device's set value, at which point the control device reverses the motor and opens the doors. This passive, obstructed opening method of electric double-leaf swing doors can easily injure people, especially children, or damage objects. The drive motor's lifespan is also affected by frequent stalls and excessive current, and the transmission mechanism between the motor and the doors is prone to damage due to excessive force. These electric double-leaf swing doors have a high failure rate and maintenance rate. With long-term use, the opening and closing of the two doors can easily become asynchronous, resulting in high power consumption and energy waste. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Figure 2 This is a control principle diagram of an embodiment of the present utility model;

[0008] Figure 3 This is a top view of the structure of Embodiment 2 of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0009] Example 1, as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, it includes a left door 1, a right door 2, a door frame 3, a drive unit 4, and a control unit 5. The left side of the left door 1 is hinged to the door frame 3, and the right side of the right door 2 is hinged to the door frame 3. The drive unit 4 is mounted on the door frame 3 and connected to both the left door 1 and the right door 2. The control unit 5 is connected to the drive unit 4 and controls the drive unit 4 to drive the left door 1 and the right door 2 to open and close synchronously. The left door 1 and the right door 2 are each equipped with an ultrasonic sensor 6 connected to the control unit 5, used to detect the presence of foreign objects near the door and transmit the detected information to the control unit 5. The left door 1 and the right door 2 are each equipped with a transmitter 71 and a receiver 72 connected to the control unit 5. The light curtain device 7 connected to device 5, the transmitter 71 and the receiver 72 are respectively installed horizontally along the vertical direction at the right side of the left door 1 or the left side of the right door 2. The transmitter 71 is provided with a row of transmitter heads 73 facing the receiver 72 along the vertical direction. The receiver 72 is provided with a row of receiver heads 74 facing the transmitter 71 in the vertical direction. There is a synchronization device 8 between the transmitter 71 and the receiver 72 and the door frame 3, which drives the transmitter 71 and the receiver 71 to rotate synchronously when the left door 1 and the right door 2 are opened or closed, so that the transmitter heads 73 on the transmitter 71 and the receiver heads 74 on the receiver 72 are always facing each other left and right.

[0010] Left door 1 and right door 2 are respectively equipped with door hinges 12 that rotate downwards and upwards to engage with door frame 3, hinged to door frame 3. The upper door hinge 12 protrudes upwards above door frame 3. The drive device 4 is a geared motor fixed to door frame 3, with its output shaft axially connected downwards to the upward-facing door hinge 12. Left door 1 and right door 2 may be driven by the same geared motor through a transmission device. Left door 1 and right door 2 may also be hinged to door frame 3.

[0011] Ultrasonic sensors 6 are installed on both sides of the left door 1 and the right door 2. Two ultrasonic sensors 6 are installed on the lower middle part of each side of the left door 1 and the right door 2, one on the left and one on the right.

[0012] The synchronization device 8 consists of a moving synchronization wheel 81, a fixed synchronization wheel 82, and a synchronization belt 83. The moving synchronization wheel 81 is installed on the upper end of the transmitter 71 and the receiver 72. The fixed synchronization wheel 82 is fixedly installed on the door frame 3 above the hinge axis between the left door 1 and the right door 2 and the door frame 3. The moving synchronization wheel 81 and the fixed synchronization wheel 82 on the left door 1 are connected by the synchronization belt 83 extending along the upper edge of the left door 1. The moving synchronization wheel 81 and the fixed synchronization wheel 82 on the right door 2 are connected by the synchronization belt 83 extending along the upper edge of the right door 2. When the left door 1 and the right door 2 open and close synchronously, the synchronization device 8 drives the transmitter 71 and the receiver 72 to rotate synchronously on the left door 1 and the right door 2, so that the transmitting heads 73 on the transmitter 71 and the receiving heads 74 on the receiver 72 are always aligned horizontally.

[0013] The top surfaces of the left door 1 and the right door 2 are respectively provided with grooves 10 along the extension direction of the top surface to accommodate the moving synchronous pulley 81, the fixed synchronous pulley 82 and the synchronous belt 83.

[0014] The moving synchronous pulley 81, the fixed synchronous pulley 82, and the synchronous belt 83 of the synchronization device 8 can also be sprockets and chains, or pulleys and belts (flat belts, V-belts, etc.), which can also achieve the synchronous control function.

[0015] The transmitter 71 and receiver 72 are respectively provided with rotating shafts at the upper and lower ends, which are rotatably engaged with the left door 1 and the right door 2. The moving synchronous wheel 81 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the rotating shaft at the upper end of the transmitter 71 and receiver 72. The fixed synchronous wheel 82 is fixedly installed upward on the door frame 3 and meshes with the synchronous belt 83. The axis of the fixed synchronous wheel 82 is concentric with the axis of the left door 1 and the right door 2 that are hinged to the door frame 3, so as to ensure that the transmitter 71 and receiver 72 of the light curtain device 7 move synchronously with the left door 1 and the right door 2.

[0016] Example 2, as Figure 3 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the synchronization device 8 is composed of a movable short link 84, a fixed short link 85, and a long link 86. One end of the movable short link 84 is fixedly connected laterally to the upper end of the transmitter 71 and the receiver 72. One end of the fixed short link 85 is fixedly connected to the door frame 3 above the hinge axis between the left door 1 and the right door 2 and the door frame 3. One long link 86 extends along the upper side of the left door 1, and its two ends are hinged to the free ends of the movable short link 84 and the fixed short link 85 on the left door 1, respectively. Another long link 86 extends along the upper side of the right door 2, and its two ends are hinged to the free ends of the movable short link 84 and the fixed short link 85 on the right door 2, respectively. When the left door 1 and the right door 2 open and close synchronously, the moving short link 84, the fixed short link 85, the long link 86 and the left door 1 (right door 2) form a four-bar linkage mechanism, which drives the transmitter 71 and the receiver 72 to rotate synchronously on the left door 1 and the right door 2, so that each transmitter head 73 on the transmitter 71 and each receiver head 74 on the receiver 72 are always facing each other left and right.

[0017] The top surfaces of the left door 1 and the right door 2 are respectively provided with grooves 20 along the extension direction of the top surface to accommodate the moving short connecting rod 84, the fixed short connecting rod 85 and the long connecting rod 86.

[0018] Working principle:

[0019] When this electric double swing door is stationary during normal use, if the ultrasonic sensor 6 (radar) detects a person or object near the door on one side of the opening or closing direction of the left door 1 and right door 2, it will not control the opening or closing of the left door 1 and right door 2. During the opening or closing process, if a person or object is detected near the door on one side of the opening or closing direction of the left door 1 and right door 2, it will immediately stop the opening or closing of the left door 1 and right door 2. If the ultrasonic sensor 6 (radar) does not detect any foreign objects near the door on one side of the opening or closing direction of the left door 1 and right door 2, it will control the left door 1 and right door 2 to open or close normally and synchronously.

[0020] Under the action of the synchronization device 8, each transmitter head 73 on the transmitter 71 located on the right side of the left door 1 (or the left side of the right door 2) will always be directly opposite each receiver head 74 on the receiver 72 located on the left side of the right door 2 (or the right side of the left door 1). When the left door 1 and the right door 2 are open, if there is a person or object between the right side of the left door 1 and the left side of the right door 2, it will block part of the light curtain emitted by each transmitter head 73 on the transmitter 71 to each receiver head 74 on the receiver 72. The transmitter 71 and the receiver 72 of the light curtain device 7 will send the detected information to the control device 5. The control device 5 will not control the drive device 4 to drive the left door 1 and the right door 2 to close, so as to prevent people or objects from being trapped, and to prevent the left door 1 and the right door 2 from being subjected to additional resistance when closing. If there is no person or object between the right side of the left door 1 and the left side of the right door 2 when closing, the control device 5 will control the drive device 4 to drive the left door 1 and the right door 2 to close normally and synchronously.

[0021] This type of electric double swing door does not require the door to be controlled to open or close when it encounters a person or object. Instead, it uses ultrasonic sensors 6 and light curtain devices 7 for non-contact detection, which greatly reduces the operating current of the drive motor, making it more energy-efficient and extending the service life of the drive motor and transmission device 4.
