Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underground garage technology, specifically to a horizontal sliding garage door. Background Technology

[0002] In garage door applications, whether it's an underground multi-level parking garage or other types of garages, safety and reliability are always key considerations. However, traditional garage doors have many obvious defects and shortcomings when facing various complex situations.

[0003] Traditional garage doors often lack structural strength. Common garage doors are made of relatively simple materials and lack effective reinforcement, making them prone to deformation and breakage upon impact. For example, ordinary aluminum alloy or sheet metal garage doors may develop dents and damage when hit by small objects, affecting not only their appearance but, more importantly, the flying debris could injure people and vehicles nearby. In extreme cases, such as a vehicle crashing out of control, traditional garage doors may not withstand the immense impact force, breaking open or becoming severely deformed, failing to provide adequate protection and exposing people and equipment inside the garage to danger.

[0004] Traditional garage doors are ill-equipped to handle situations where vehicles lose control and crash into the garage. Garage entrances and exits see frequent vehicle traffic, and the risk of loss of control is ever-present. Once a vehicle goes out of control, ordinary garage doors lack sufficient interception and cushioning capabilities to effectively prevent it from entering, posing a serious threat to the safety of the garage's facilities, vehicles, and occupants. Traditional garage doors typically lack specific protective designs against loss of control and are unable to absorb and disperse the immense force of a vehicle's impact in a short time, thus failing to prevent serious safety accidents.

[0005] Furthermore, traditional garage doors have poor emergency response capabilities when faced with sudden malfunctions. Over time, critical components such as the tracks and motors of garage doors may malfunction due to wear, aging, or other unforeseen reasons, preventing the door from moving properly. Traditional garage doors often lack effective emergency mechanisms. In such cases, the garage entrance may be unable to close or open properly, affecting the garage's security and normal operation. For example, in the event of a track malfunction, the door may become stuck, unable to close for garage safety or open for vehicle passage, causing significant inconvenience to garage users and potentially posing a safety hazard.

[0028] As a further technical solution, the first connecting part has a first guide slope, and the second connecting part has a second guide slope. After the first guide slope and the second guide slope come into contact, they are used to guide the connection and disconnection of the first connecting part and the second connecting part.

[0029] As a further technical solution, the storage section has a storage cavity and further includes:

[0030] A first elastic element is disposed on the slide rail and located in the storage cavity. One end of the elastic element acts on the storage cavity, and the other end acts on the protective door, providing a force for the protective door to move closer to the transverse section.

[0031] The outermost protective door also has a third connecting part, and one of the posts and / or the protective door has a fourth connecting part, the third connecting part being used to connect with the fourth connecting part.

[0032] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0033] In this invention, protective steel cables are installed on the protective door, significantly enhancing its structural strength. When the protective door is impacted, whether by an accidental collision with a small object or, in extreme cases, by a vehicle, the protective steel cables absorb and disperse the impact force, maintaining the structural integrity of the protective door and reducing injuries to vehicles and personnel caused by door damage. For example, when a small object impacts the protective door, the protective steel cables prevent the door from cracking or deforming, avoiding flying debris that could injure nearby people and vehicles.

[0034] When an out-of-control vehicle crashes into a protective gate, the protective steel cable, with its high strength and toughness, plays a crucial role in intercepting the vehicle. In high-traffic areas like the entrances and exits of underground parking garages, vehicles may lose control due to driver error, sudden malfunctions, or other reasons. In this situation, the protective steel cable acts like a robust defense, stopping the out-of-control vehicle before it crashes into the garage and causes a more serious accident. The protective steel cable cushions the impact of the vehicle through its own deformation, distributing the impact force across the entire protective gate and pillar structure, minimizing the impact force and reducing vehicle deformation caused by the collision. This effectively protects the safety of the occupants of the vehicle, as well as other vehicles, equipment, and personnel within the garage.

[0035] When unexpected situations such as track malfunctions or motor failures prevent the protective gate from moving normally, the protective steel cable plays a crucial role as an emergency backup. If a section of the slide rail is accidentally damaged, the protective gate can continue to move manually or through other temporary power sources, guided by the steel cable. This ensures that the protective function of the garage entrance and exit, or the normal passage of vehicles, is not significantly affected, maintaining basic safety and normal operation of the garage even in the event of equipment failure.

Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.

In this document, "a" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0046] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0048] Reference Figures 1-2 The first embodiment of this utility model proposes a horizontal sliding garage door, including a protective door 201. Several protective doors 201 are arranged in sequence. The protective doors 201 are movable relative to the column 1. The slide rail 202 is set on the column 1. The protective doors 201 are slidably set on the slide rail 202. The protective steel cable 203 is set on the protective door 201.

[0049] In this embodiment, the protective steel cable 203 is installed on the protective door 201, significantly enhancing the structural strength of the protective door 201. When the protective door 201 is impacted, whether by an accidental collision with a small object or, in extreme cases, by a vehicle, the protective steel cable 203 can absorb and disperse the impact force, maintaining the structural integrity of the protective door 201 and reducing injuries to vehicles and personnel caused by door damage. For example, when a small object impacts the protective door 201, the protective steel cable 203 can prevent the protective door 201 from cracking or deforming, avoiding flying debris that could injure surrounding personnel and vehicles.

[0050] When an out-of-control vehicle impacts the protective door 201, the protective steel cable 203, with its high strength and toughness, plays a crucial role in interception. In high-traffic areas like the entrances and exits of underground parking garages, vehicles may lose control due to driver error, sudden vehicle malfunctions, or other reasons. In this situation, the protective steel cable 203 acts like a robust defense, stopping the out-of-control vehicle before it crashes into the garage and causes a more serious accident. The protective steel cable 203 cushions the impact force through its own deformation, distributing the force across the entire protective door and pillar structure, minimizing the impact and reducing vehicle deformation caused by the collision. This effectively ensures the safety of the occupants of the vehicle, as well as other vehicles, equipment, and personnel within the garage.

[0051] When unexpected situations such as track malfunctions or motor failures prevent the protective door 201 from moving normally, the protective steel cable 203 plays a crucial role as an emergency backup measure. If a section of the slide rail 202 is accidentally damaged, the protective door 201 can continue to complete the necessary movement operations under the traction of the steel cable 203, either manually or through other temporary power sources. This ensures that the protective function of the garage entrance and exit, or the normal passage of vehicles, is not significantly affected, and even in the event of equipment failure, the basic safety and normal operation of the garage can be maintained.

[0052] Furthermore, the protective door 201 has a protective groove 2011, and the protective steel cable 203 is disposed in the protective groove 2011. The protective door 201 has a first connecting part 2012 and a second connecting part 2013. The first connecting part 2012 is used to connect with the second connecting part 2013 of the adjacent protective door 201. The side of the protective door 201 has a first tooth 2014 and also includes a drive gear 4. The drive gear 4 is rotatably disposed relative to the column 1. The drive gear 4 is meshed with the first tooth 2014 and is used to drive the protective door 201 to move laterally relative to the column 1.

[0053] In this embodiment, when a small tool collides with or a vehicle slightly scrapes against the protective door 201, the protective groove 2011 can limit the displacement of the protective steel cable 203, preventing it from shaking or shifting excessively due to external forces. This allows the protective steel cable 203 to stably perform its structural reinforcement function, enhancing the overall impact resistance of the protective door 201, effectively reducing the risk of deformation or damage to the protective door 201 caused by external forces, and ensuring the safety performance of the garage entrance.

[0054] By concealing the protective steel cable 203 within the protective groove 2011, the potential safety hazards caused by exposed cables are completely eliminated. During daily use of the garage, people frequently enter and exit the garage entrance. If the protective steel cable 203 were exposed, people might accidentally trip or be scratched by it. The presence of the protective groove 2011 effectively eliminates this potential risk and improves the safety of the area surrounding the garage entrance.

[0055] In terms of aesthetics and neatness, the protective groove 2011 partially conceals the protective steel cable 203, making the appearance of the protective door 201 more concise and neat, improving the overall visual effect of the garage, and creating a more comfortable and safer environment for users.

[0056] The connection design of the first connecting part 2012 and the second connecting part 2013 allows multiple protective doors 201 to be tightly and stably combined into a continuous protective barrier. In strong winds, the wind exerts significant lateral pressure on the protective doors 201. At this time, adjacent protective doors 201 transfer and disperse the wind force through the first connecting part 2012 and the second connecting part 2013, preventing individual protective doors 201 from deforming, shifting, or even derailing due to excessive force. This connection method greatly enhances the overall structural strength and stability of the protective doors, ensuring that the protective barrier effectively blocks unauthorized entry of external objects and personnel, thus guaranteeing the safety of the garage.

[0057] When a vehicle accidentally collides with the protective door 201, the connecting part can evenly distribute the impact force to the adjacent protective doors 201, so that the entire protective door system shares the impact, rather than a single protective door 201 bearing it alone. This effectively reduces the possibility of serious damage to the protective door 201 due to excessive local stress, maintains the integrity of the protective door, and ensures that the protective function of the garage entrance and exit is not affected.

[0058] This connection method facilitates installation and also provides convenience for later maintenance. If a protective door 201 malfunctions or is damaged, maintenance personnel can relatively easily remove the faulty protective door 201 for repair or replacement by disassembling the connection between the first connecting part 2012 and the second connecting part 2013, without needing to perform large-scale disassembly and reassembly of the entire protective door system. This greatly shortens maintenance time, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the maintainability and availability of the garage door system.

[0059] The precise meshing of the first tooth 2014 on the side of the protective door 201 with the drive gear 4 provides a highly accurate and stable drive mechanism for the lateral movement of the protective door 201. During the routine opening and closing of the garage door, the rotation of the drive gear 4 transmits power smoothly and accurately to the protective door 201 through gear meshing, causing it to move laterally along a predetermined trajectory and speed. This precise drive method ensures that the protective door 201 accurately reaches the open or closed position, avoiding problems such as inaccurate door movement leading to poor sealing of the garage entrance / exit, obstructed vehicle passage, or security loopholes.

[0060] Furthermore, each entrance / exit is equipped with at least six protective doors 201. The protective doors 201 are translatably and slidably positioned within a slide rail 202, with the translation direction along the length of the slide rail 202 and the sliding direction along the width of the slide rail 202. The slide rail 202 has a temporary storage section 20021 and a straight section 20022. One side of the slide rail 202 at each entrance / exit has two temporary storage sections 20021, located on either side of the straight section 20022. There is an even number of protective doors 201, divided into two groups. One group of protective doors 201 at each entrance / exit is configured to translate before entering the adjacent... A set of protective doors 201 at another entrance / exit enters a temporary storage section 20021. Another set of protective doors 201 translates along a straight section 20022 and is configured to push a set of protective doors 201 at an adjacent entrance / exit into a temporary storage section 20021 after translation. The system also includes a pressing member 8, which is disposed in a slide rail 202. The pressing member 8 has a pressing end 801 and an elastic end 802. The elastic end 802 acts on the slide rail 202, and the pressing end 801 presses against the protective door 201. The pressing member 8 provides the force for the protective door 201 to enter the straight section 20022 from the temporary storage section 20021.

[0061] In this embodiment, the protective doors 201 are divided into two groups, allowing for flexible movement. One group of protective doors slides into the temporary storage section 20021, while the other group pushes the adjacent group of protective doors 201 at the entrance / exit to slide into the temporary storage section 20021. This opposing drive mechanism allows for rapid opening and closing of the entrance / exit. The outermost protective doors 201 form a group, and all can be inserted into the temporary storage section 20021 of the adjacent slide rail 202, saving the floor space occupied by the protective doors 201 and conserving space.

[0062] The slide rail 202 is equipped with a temporary storage section 20021, and one side of the slide rail on each entrance / exit has two temporary storage sections located on either side of the straight section 20022. When the protective door 201 is opened, it can slide into the temporary storage section 20021, greatly saving space at the entrance / exit and surrounding areas. For spaces with limited space, such as underground parking lot entrances / exits where vehicles frequently enter and exit, the protective door entering the temporary storage section will not obstruct vehicle passage, ensuring smooth passage and improving space utilization efficiency. The protective doors 201 are divided into two groups, closely cooperating with the layout of the temporary storage section 20021 and the straight section 20022. The different movement paths of the two groups of doors ensure that the movement of the protective doors is orderly and does not interfere with each other, optimizing the spatial layout of the entire area. The protective door 201 can slide along the length of the slide rail 202 and slide along its width; this simple and direct movement method creates favorable conditions for achieving automated control.

[0063] The elastic end 802 of the pressing component 8 acts on the slide rail 202, while the pressing end 801 presses against the protective door 201. When the protective door 201 needs to be closed, the pressing component 8 automatically provides force to guide the protective door from the temporary storage section 20021 into the straight section 20022, eliminating the need for manual pushing and simplifying the operation. In frequently used locations, such as office building entrances, this automatic reset function greatly improves the ease of use of the protective door.

[0064] The protective door 201 moves within the slide rail 202, which provides stable support and precise guidance for the protective door 201. During long-term use, this arrangement reduces the swaying and wear of the protective door 201, extending the service life of both the protective door 201 and the slide rail 202. The elastic end 802 of the pressing member 8 not only provides the reset force for the protective door 201 but also buffers the impact force during its movement. When the protective door 201 closes, the elasticity of the pressing member 8 acts as a buffer, reducing the impact on the door body and the slide rail 202.

[0065] Reference Figure 1 , Figures 3-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Compared with the first embodiment, the slide rail 202 has a horizontal moving section 2021 and a receiving section 2022. The horizontal moving section 2021 and the receiving section 2022 are arranged vertically and are smoothly connected by a guide surface 2024. The protective door 201 is configured such that after the protective door 201 enters the receiving section 2022, the first connecting part 2012 is disconnected from the second connecting part 2013 of the adjacent other protective door 201. After the first connecting part 2012 is disconnected from the second connecting part 2013 of the adjacent other protective door 201, the protective door 201 is moved and disposed in the receiving section 2022.

[0066] In this embodiment, the vertical arrangement of the transverse section 2021 and the storage section 2022 in the slide rail 202, and the smooth transition connection through the guide surface 2024, provide a storage mechanism for the protective door 201. In certain special cases, such as when the garage needs to move small equipment or allow special vehicles to enter or exit, part of the protective door 201 can be moved into the storage section 2022. This design greatly expands the opening and closing efficiency of the garage entrance and exit, enabling the garage to adapt to diverse usage needs and improving space utilization efficiency and flexibility.

[0067] When oversized or overweight vehicles need to enter the garage, the protective gate 201 that obstructs vehicle passage can be retracted into the storage section 2022, avoiding situations where vehicles cannot enter or exit normally due to the restriction of the protective gate 201, and ensuring that the garage can meet the parking and passage requirements of different types of vehicles.

[0068] Once the protective door 201 enters the storage section 2022, the first connecting part 2012 is disconnected from the second connecting part 2013 of the adjacent protective door 201, allowing the protective door 201 to move and be stored independently within the storage section 2022. This design not only avoids mutual interference and collisions between the protective doors 201 during storage, ensuring the integrity of the protective doors 201, but also reduces wear on the connecting parts that may be caused by frequent connection and separation, extending the service life of the connecting components.

[0069] Meanwhile, the storage section 2022 provides a relatively independent and safe storage space for the protective door 201, protecting the protective door 201 from accidental impacts or other potential damage factors, and ensuring that the protective door 201 can work normally and maintain the protective function of the garage entrance and exit when it needs to be reactivated.

[0070] The presence of the guide surface 2024 ensures a smooth transition for the protective door 201 when it moves between the sliding section 2021 and the storage section 2022. When the protective door 201 moves along the guide surface 2024 from the sliding section 2021 to the storage section 2022 or vice versa, its movement trajectory is precisely guided, avoiding problems such as jamming, deviation, or vibration caused by sudden path changes. This makes the movement of the protective door 201 smoother and more stable, improving the overall operational reliability of the garage door system.

[0071] The special structural design of the slide rail 202 fits tightly with the connection of the protective door 201, achieving synergistic optimization of the entire garage door system. When the protective door 201 is working normally on the lateral section 2021, the connection ensures a tight connection between the protective doors 201, forming a stable protective barrier; while when it is necessary to store the protective door 201, the design of the storage section 2022 and the connection allows the protective door 201 to be smoothly detached and stored without affecting the normal operation of other parts of the system.

[0072] Furthermore, the protective door 201 also includes guide wheels 2015, which are rotatably disposed on the upper and lower sides of the protective door 201. The slide rail 202 has a guide groove 2023, and the guide surface 2024 is located at the end of the guide groove 2023. The guide groove 2023 is used to guide the lateral movement of the protective door 201.

[0073] In this embodiment, the guide wheels 2015, which are rotatably mounted on the upper and lower sides of the protective door 201, greatly reduce the friction between the protective door 201 and the slide rail 202 during the lateral movement of the protective door 201 along the slide rail 202. Compared to direct sliding contact, the rolling friction of the guide wheels 2015 makes the movement of the protective door 201 easier and smoother. This not only reduces the power required to drive the protective door 201 laterally, improving energy efficiency, but also reduces component wear caused by excessive friction, extending the service life of the protective door 201 and the slide rail 202.

[0074] The guide wheel 2015 rolls tightly within the guide groove 2023 of the slide rail 202, providing precise constraint and stability to the movement trajectory of the protective door 201. During the movement of the protective door 201, even under slight external disturbances, such as wind or airflow disturbances caused by passing vehicles, the guide wheel 2015, through its rolling and positioning within the guide groove 2023, keeps the protective door 201 on the predetermined lateral movement trajectory, preventing deviation, swaying, or other unstable phenomena.

[0075] The guide groove 2023 of the slide rail 202 provides a stable guiding path for the lateral movement of the protective door 201. It cooperates with the guide wheel 2015 of the protective door 201 to ensure that the protective door 201 always moves in the correct direction during lateral movement, without lateral deviation or derailment. This is crucial for ensuring the safety of the garage entrance and exit, preventing security breaches or vehicle passage obstruction caused by misalignment of the protective door 201.

[0076] The guide surface 2024, located at the end of the guide groove 2023, plays a crucial role in the transition of the protective door 201 from the lateral section 2021 to the storage section 2022 or vice versa. It guides the protective door 201 to smoothly change its direction of movement, achieving a seamless transition. Through the precisely designed shape and angle of the guide surface 2024, the protective door 201 remains stable during the transition, avoiding problems such as jamming and collisions caused by sudden path changes, further improving the reliability and safety of the protective door 201's movement.

[0077] The design of the guide groove 2023 and guide surface 2024 is highly compatible with the guide wheel 2015 of the protective door 201 and other components of the entire garage door system. Together, they form a complete guiding system, ensuring that the protective door 201 can function normally under various operating conditions. Whether in normal garage door opening and closing operations or in special circumstances (such as when the protective door 201 is being retracted or responding to sudden external interference), this guiding system effectively maintains the stable movement and correct position of the protective door 201, ensuring the structural integrity and functional stability of the garage door system.

[0078] Furthermore, the protective door 201 also has a receiving groove 2016, which is located on both sides of the protective door 201. The protective steel cable 203 is configured such that after the protective door 201 moves to the receiving section 2022, the protective steel cable 203 enters the receiving groove 2016. It also includes several support wheels 2017, which are rotatably arranged in the receiving groove 2016 and the protective groove 2011 respectively. The support wheels 2017 are used to guide the protective steel cable 203.

[0079] In this embodiment, after the protective door 201 moves to the storage section 2022, the receiving groove 2016 provides a dedicated storage space for the protective steel cable 203. This allows the protective steel cable 203 to be properly placed during the storage of the protective door 201, preventing it from affecting the storage of the protective door 201. By storing the protective steel cable 203 in the receiving groove 2016, the structural space of the protective door 201 itself is effectively utilized, making the garage door system more neat and orderly when storing the protective door 201, and further improving the space utilization efficiency around the garage entrance and exit.

[0080] Several support wheels 2017, respectively installed in the receiving groove 2016 and the protective groove 2011, play a crucial guiding role during the movement of the protective steel cable 203. Whether the protective door 201 is moving horizontally normally, or after the protective door 201 moves to the receiving section 2022 and the protective steel cable 203 enters the receiving groove 2016, the support wheels 2017 ensure that the protective steel cable 203 moves along the predetermined path.

[0081] The rolling contact between the support wheel 2017 and the protective steel cable 203, compared to direct friction, significantly reduces the resistance during the movement of the protective steel cable 203, making its movement smoother. This not only helps improve the working efficiency of the protective steel cable 203, but also reduces wear and heat generated by friction, protects the structural integrity of the protective steel cable 203, and ensures that it can function properly at critical moments.

[0082] The support wheels 2017 enhance the synergy between the protective door 201 and the protective steel cable 203. Together, they form a stable structural system, ensuring that the protective steel cable 203 maintains good working condition under various movement states of the protective door 201. When the protective door 201 is subjected to external impact, the support wheels 2017 help the protective steel cable 203 better disperse the impact force, protecting the protective steel cable 203 from excessive stress, while also helping to maintain the structural stability of the protective door 201.

[0083] Furthermore, there is a mounting bracket 2018 between the receiving groove 2016 and the protective groove 2011, and the protective door 201 also has a clearance part 2019. The clearance part 2019 and the mounting bracket 2018 are located at both ends of the protective groove 2011, and also includes a reversing wheel 20110. The reversing wheel 20110 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 2018. The reversing wheel 20110 is used to protect the steel cable 203 from the protective groove 2011 to the receiving groove 2016.

[0084] In this embodiment, the directional wheel 20110 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 2018 plays a crucial guiding role in the transfer of the protective steel cable 203 from the protective groove 2011 to the receiving groove 2016. When the protective door 201 moves to a specific position and the protective steel cable 203 needs to be stored in the receiving groove 2016, the protective steel cable 203 will come into contact with the directional wheel 20110. Through its own rotation, the directional wheel 20110 can change the direction of movement of the protective steel cable 203 with relatively small friction and resistance, allowing it to smoothly transition from the protective groove 2011 to the receiving groove 2016.

[0085] This reversing mechanism ensures the stability and smoothness of the protective steel cable 203 during the transfer process, avoiding problems such as jamming, twisting, or derailment of the cable due to sudden changes in direction. For example, during multiple retraction operations of the protective door 201, the reversing wheel 20110 can always accurately guide the protective steel cable 203 to change direction, ensuring the normal retraction and subsequent normal use of the cable 203, and maintaining the stable operation of the garage door system.

[0086] The presence of the mounting bracket 2018 allows the reversing wheel 20110 to be securely mounted on the protective door 201, forming a compact structural unit with the receiving slot 2016 and the protective slot 2011. This compact design not only saves space on the protective door 201, making its structure simpler and more aesthetically pleasing, but also improves the integration of the entire protective steel cable 203 reversing and storage system.

[0087] The close cooperation and rational layout of the components reduce potential failure points caused by scattered or loosely connected parts, thus improving system reliability. At the same time, it facilitates overall assembly and debugging during production and installation, reducing production and installation costs and increasing production efficiency.

[0088] The clearance portion 2019 is located at one end of the protective groove 2011, providing ample space for the movement of the protective steel cable 203 within the protective groove 2011. When the protective steel cable 203 changes position within the protective groove 2011 due to the movement of the protective door 201 or other operations, the clearance portion 2019 can prevent the protective steel cable 203 from interfering with other structural components of the protective door 201.

[0089] Furthermore, the column 1 has a mounting cavity 101 with an outlet 1011, and also includes a rotating member 5, which is rotatably disposed within the mounting cavity 101. The rotating member 5 has a mounting shaft 501, which is used for the winding and unwinding of the protective steel cable 203.

[0090] In this embodiment, the mounting cavity 101 of the column 1 provides a dedicated built-in space for the rotating component 5, allowing the rotating component 5 to be cleverly integrated inside the column 1. This design effectively utilizes the internal space of the column 1, avoiding the rotating component 5 and related components occupying additional external space in the garage door system, making the entire garage door structure more compact and neat. The rotating component 5 is rotatably mounted within the mounting cavity 101, and its mounting shaft 501 provides a rotatable extension and retraction fulcrum for the protective steel cable 203. When the protective door 201 moves or is subjected to external forces, the protective steel cable 203 will experience corresponding displacement and tension changes. The rotational characteristics of the rotating component 5 can adapt to these dynamic changes of the protective steel cable 203, allowing the protective steel cable 203 to move flexibly under different working conditions.

[0091] The outlet 1011 of the mounting cavity 101 provides a convenient channel for the connection between the protective steel cable 203 and the rotating component 5. Through this outlet 1011, the protective steel cable 203 can be smoothly connected to the rotating component 5 installed in the mounting cavity 101, realizing the transmission of force and the conversion of motion. This connection method makes the protective steel cable 203 and the column 1 form an organic whole, enhancing the synergy of the entire garage door system.

[0092] During the operation of the garage door, the protective steel cable 203 experiences varying degrees of tension changes and alters in its trajectory as the protective door 201 moves. The design of the mounting cavity 101 ensures that the protective steel cable 203 can stably perform its function when connected and working in conjunction with the rotating component 5. In operations such as intercepting out-of-control vehicles or assisting the movement of the protective door 201, the protective steel cable 203 can effectively transmit force and achieve corresponding actions through its cooperation with the rotating component 5, thus ensuring the safety performance of the garage door system.

[0093] The rotating component 5 plays a crucial balancing role in the force transmission process of the protective steel cable 203. When the protective steel cable 203 is subjected to tension or other external forces, the rotating component 5 can evenly distribute these forces to the column 1 and the relevant structures of the entire garage door system through its own rotation. This force balancing mechanism avoids component damage or system instability caused by excessive local stress.

[0094] Furthermore, it also includes a gear set 6, which is rotatably arranged relative to the column 1. The gear set 6 has an output end 601. The drive gear 4 is meshed with the input end of the gear set 6. The rotating member 5 is arranged on the output end 601 of the gear set 6. The rotating member 5 is configured such that when the drive gear 4 drives the protective door 201 to open, the rotating member 5 rotates, and the protective steel cable 203 enters the receiving groove 2016 from the mounting shaft 501.

[0095] In this embodiment, the transmission gear set 6 is rotatably mounted relative to the column 1, forming a crucial power transmission bridge between the drive gear 4 and the rotating component 5. When the drive gear 4 rotates to drive the protective door 201, power is efficiently transmitted to the transmission gear set 6 through meshing with the input end of the transmission gear set 6. The transmission gear set 6, with its internal combination of different gears and transmission ratio design, can precisely adapt and regulate power according to actual needs.

[0096] The presence of the gear set 6 enhances the coordination between the various components of the garage door system. It not only coordinates the operation of the drive gear 4 and the rotating component 5, but also ensures that the movement of the protective cable 203 is closely synchronized with the movement of the protective door 201. During the opening of the protective door 201, the gear set 6 can precisely control the rotation speed and direction of the rotating component 5 according to the door's movement and the need to retract the protective cable 203.

[0097] This collaborative optimization enables the garage door system to integrate multiple functions. For example, during the process of the protective cable 203 entering the receiving slot 2016 from the mounting shaft 501, the transmission gear set 6 can ensure that the rotation speed of the rotating component 5 matches the moving speed of the protective door 201, allowing the protective cable 203 to complete the retraction action at the appropriate time and speed. This avoids problems such as jamming, tangling, or damage to the protective cable 203 caused by the mismatch in speed between the two, further improving the overall performance and safety of the system.

[0098] When the drive gear 4 drives the protective door 201 to open, the rotating component 5 rotates under the drive of the transmission gear set 6, causing the protective steel cable 203 to enter the receiving groove 2016 from the mounting shaft 501. This process achieves automatic and orderly storage of the protective steel cable 203, avoiding the tediousness and potential risks of manual intervention.

[0099] Furthermore, the first connecting part 2012 has a first guide slope 20111, and the second connecting part 2013 has a second guide slope 20112. After the first guide slope 20111 and the second guide slope 20112 come into contact, they serve as guides for connecting and disconnecting the first connecting part 2012 and the second connecting part 2013.

[0100] In this embodiment, when adjacent protective doors 201 need to be connected, the first guide slope 20111 of the first connecting part 2012 and the second guide slope 20112 of the second connecting part 2013 play a crucial guiding role. As the protective doors 201 gradually approach each other, the two guide slopes first come into contact. Due to the design of the slopes, they can automatically adjust the relative positions of the two connecting parts, allowing the first connecting part 2012 to smoothly slide along the second guide slope 20112 to the correct connection position, and vice versa.

[0101] The tight contact between the first guide ramp 20111 and the second guide ramp 20112 ensures the connection accuracy between the first connecting part 2012 and the second connecting part 2013. During the connection process, the contact of the ramps makes the force between the connecting parts more uniform, avoiding loosening or misalignment caused by uneven local force. Through precise guidance and tight fit, a stable connection structure can be formed between the protective doors 201, enhancing the overall structural stability of the protective doors.

[0102] When it is necessary to disconnect the connection between the protective doors 201, such as when moving the protective doors 201 to the storage section 2022 or performing maintenance, the guide ramps also play a crucial role. The design of the first guide ramp 20111 and the second guide ramp 20112 allows the connection to smoothly detach along the ramps during the separation process, avoiding damage to the protective doors 201 or other components caused by the impact force that may be generated by the sudden disconnection of the connection.

[0103] This smooth separation process reduces the risk of wear and damage between components, extending the service life of the protective door 201 and its connecting parts. At the same time, it reduces potential safety hazards caused by component damage, such as personal injury or equipment failure due to detached parts, thus improving the safety and reliability of the garage door system during operation.

[0104] Furthermore, the storage section 2022 has a storage cavity 2025 and also includes a first elastic member 7. The first elastic member 7 is disposed on the slide rail 202 and located in the storage cavity 2025. One end acts in the storage cavity 2025 and the other end acts on the protective door 201, providing a force for the protective door 201 to approach the transverse section 2021.

[0105] In this embodiment, the storage cavity 2025 provides a dedicated, relatively enclosed storage space for the protective door 201. When the protective door 201 moves to the storage section 2022, it can accurately enter the storage cavity 2025. This avoids additional collisions or damage to the protective door 201 that may be caused by positional displacement or random placement during storage, effectively protecting the structural integrity of the protective door 201.

[0106] The force provided by the first elastic element 7, which pushes the protective door 201 closer to the sliding section 2021, plays a crucial role in the operation of the garage door system. When it is necessary to switch the protective door 201 from the retracted state back to the working state, the first elastic element 7 can push the protective door 201 towards the sliding section 2021. This allows the protective door 201 to slide smoothly outwards, achieving the function of connecting the protective door 201 during movement.

[0107] Furthermore, the outermost protective door 201 also has a third connecting part 20113, and a column 1 and / or the protective door 201 has a fourth connecting part 20114, the third connecting part 20113 being used to connect with the fourth connecting part 20114.

[0108] In this embodiment, after the third connecting part 20113 of the outermost protective door 201 is connected to the post 1 or the fourth connecting part 20114 of the adjacent protective door 201, a stable connection point is formed at the boundary of the garage door system. This connection method effectively restricts the displacement and swaying of the outermost protective door 201, enabling it to better maintain its predetermined position when faced with external forces.

[0109] When the protective door 201 system is subjected to external impact, such as when a vehicle accidentally collides with the protective door 201, the connecting parts can effectively transmit and disperse the impact force. The connection between the third connecting part 20113 and the fourth connecting part 20114 allows the outermost protective door 201 to transmit the impact force to the column 1 or the adjacent protective door 201, so that the impact can be absorbed and mitigated through the coordinated action of the entire protective door system.

[0110] This force transmission and dispersion mechanism prevents the outermost protective door 201 from bearing excessive impact force alone, reducing its risk of damage, while also protecting other components of the garage door system. For example, in the event of a vehicle collision, the impact force can be transmitted through the connection to multiple protective doors 201 and pillars 1, allowing the entire system to share the impact force, maintain the protective function of the protective doors, and reduce the degree of damage caused to the garage door system by the accident.

[0111] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
