Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of door closer technology, and in particular to a door closer and a connecting rod used in a new type of door closer. Background Technology

[0002] Existing door closer linkages do not restrict the rotation range of the door panel during opening and closing, which can easily lead to component damage and safety issues, hindering the normal use of the door closer. A Chinese patent discloses a "hydraulic linkage for a door closer" (application number CN202321893821.3). During installation, the mounting plate is first fixed to the door closer with fastening bolts. Then, the sleeve connected to the hydraulic rod is placed on the outer surface of the actuating rod. Rotating the actuating rod inside the fixed block causes the connecting rod to connect with the sleeve via a threaded connection. Pulling the pin rod, under the action of a spring, engages the pin rod with the pin hole inside the connecting rod for final fixation. The other end of the hydraulic rod is connected to the door body via a fixed bracket. When the length needs to be adjusted, an external control device is activated to extend or retract the movable end of the hydraulic rod. However, this door closer linkage lacks restriction on the door's rotation range, which can lead to component damage and safety issues. Utility Model Content

The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This utility model provides a connecting rod for use in a new type of door closer, which includes a fixed base 1, a horizontal mounting plate 4 fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed base 1, a first threaded mounting hole 2 provided on the horizontal mounting plate 4, a first bearing 3 fixedly connected to the front surface of the fixed base 1, a first connecting rod 14 rotatably connected to the first bearing 3, a first rotating shaft 22 fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting rod 14, the first rotating shaft 22 being sleeved with the first bearing 3, and a first fixing sleeve 20 fixedly connected to the end of the first connecting rod 14 away from the first rotating shaft 22.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A U-shaped mounting frame 18 is provided inside the U-shaped mounting frame 18, and the second threaded mounting holes 17 are evenly arranged inside the U-shaped mounting frame 18. The U-shaped mounting frame 18 is located below the fixed base 1. A second shaft seat 16 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the U-shaped mounting frame 18. A second connecting rod 15 is rotatably connected to the second shaft seat 16. A second rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting rod 15. The second rotating shaft 21 is sleeved with the second shaft seat 16. A second fixing sleeve 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the second rotating shaft 21 away from the second rotating shaft 21. A third connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 15. The third connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 14. A third fixing sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the third connecting rod 13. A fourth fixing sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the third connecting rod 13 away from the third fixing sleeve 11. The third fixing sleeve 11 is rotatably connected to the second fixing sleeve 24 through the third rotating shaft 12. The fourth fixing sleeve 10 is rotatably connected to the first fixing sleeve 20 through the fourth rotating shaft 23.

[0026] Specifically, during installation and fixing, the door closer is installed on the door frame via the horizontal mounting plate 4, and the door closer is fixed to the door panel via the U-shaped mounting frame 18. During the opening and closing process, the first link 14, the second link 15, and the third link 13 will rotate relative to each other between the fixed seat 1 and the U-shaped mounting frame 18 to cooperate with the opening and closing process of the door panel, thus facilitating the limitation of the rotation range.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A door closer includes a linkage as described above for use in a new type of door closer, and also includes a stepper motor 7 and a fixing block 9. The stepper motor 7 is fixedly connected to the right end of the fixing base 1. A PLC controller 5 and an infrared sensor 6 are provided on the upper end of the stepper motor 7. The PLC controller 5 is connected to the stepper motor 7, and the infrared sensor 6 is connected to the PLC controller 5. The output end of the stepper motor 7 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 9 through a drive shaft 19. A bushing 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the stepper motor 7. The bushing 8 is sleeved with the drive shaft 19. The fixing block 9 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped mounting frame 18.

[0028] Specifically, during the opening and closing process of the door closer, when the infrared sensor 6 detects a person, the infrared sensor 6 sends a signal to the PLC controller 5. The PLC controller 5 then sends an opening command to the stepper motor 7, causing the stepper motor 7 to drive the U-shaped mounting frame 18 to rotate counterclockwise. The U-shaped mounting frame 18 then drives the door panel to rotate counterclockwise for automatic door opening. When the infrared sensor 6 does not detect a person within a certain period of time, the PLC controller 5 sends a closing command to the stepper motor 7, causing the stepper motor 7 to drive the U-shaped mounting frame 18 to rotate clockwise. The U-shaped mounting frame 18 then drives the door panel to rotate clockwise for automatic door closing.

[0029] Working principle: When the infrared sensor 6 detects a person, the PLC controller 5 will control the stepper motor 7 to open the door. When the infrared sensor 6 does not detect a person within a certain period of time, the PLC controller 5 will control the stepper motor 7 to close the door. During this process, the first link 14, the second link 15 and the third link 13 will rotate between the fixed base 1 and the U-shaped mounting frame 18 to cooperate with the opening and closing process of the door panel.

[0030] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
