Description

Technical field:

[0001] The present invention relates to a mechanism that enables persons with a muscular disease to open the door, which can be used in places where people with muscular diseases are present, such as hospitals, health centers or places that are publicly accessible in daily life. State of the art:

[0002] Nowadays, automatic doors are used in some publicly accessible spaces. These automatic doors typically have a sensor. When the sensor detects movement toward the door, the door opens. These doors are side-sliding doors. Automatic doors detect any person passing in front of them and open. For this reason, they are not suitable for all locations, as this can lead to undesirable situations. Furthermore, while some doors in facilities like hospitals are automatic, many interior doors are traditional doors opened with a handle to ensure privacy. However, these doors can be problematic for the elderly, children, and especially for people with muscular dystrophy. Individuals in this category may have difficulty pushing down the door handle.In particular, people with muscular diseases are unable to push down the door handle and open the door due to their weak muscle control.

[0003] Patent application number CA 2394851 A1 describes the "Automatic Door Installation with Video Display Device." The invention works with a video device that transmits an internal video data signal containing information about the approach area of ​​a door to a detection system to determine whether a person or object has entered the approach area of ​​the door and, upon entry, transmits a door opening signal to a door opening system. The video data signal is additionally processed so that security personnel can view the relevant images for visual monitoring.

[0004] Utility model application number CN 211115379 U describes an "automatic door with multiple motors." The invention belongs to the technical field of automatic doors. The utility model relates to a door, in particular an automatic door with multiple motors. The automatic door comprises an automatic door frame and a sliding door that is slidably attached to the side wall of the automatic door frame. A sensor element is mounted on one side of the automatic door frame. A drive guide groove and a limit guide groove are mounted at the top and bottom of the inner wall of one side of the automatic door.The frame, the top and bottom edges of the sliding door, are slidably connected to the inner wall of the drive track and the corresponding limiting track. Protective guide grooves are formed on one side of the sliding doors, and the protective mesh is slidably connected to these grooves. The winding motor drives the winding roller to wind the winding cylinder; this exposes the tempered glass when the automatic door opens. The winding motor rotates in reverse, the protective mesh slides downwards under the influence of gravity, and the magnetic attraction draws the mesh towards the protective guide groove. The tempered glass is then fully protected by the mesh's limiting effect. The limiting ball ensures a tight seal, improves the adjustability of the light transmission, enhances the automatic closing of the door, and improves the closing action.

[0005] Above, we describe automatic sliding doors with various designs. These doors can be opened automatically using a sensor. However, this sensor detects any movement in front of the door and opens it. For this reason, unwanted situations can arise, and the door is not suitable for every room.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for a new technology that can overcome the aforementioned disadvantages. Definition of the invention:

[0007] The present invention relates to a mechanism that enables people with a muscular disease to open the door and overcome the aforementioned disadvantages, characterized in that it comprises a power storage device, a motion sensor, and a touch sensor integrated with the motion sensor, and that the door handle automatically lowers thanks to the steel cable and the associated mechanism, and that people with muscular diseases can easily open the door, and that it is an automatically operating mechanism.

[0008] The invention comprises a power storage device attached to the door. The power storage device contains a battery and a motor-driven pulley. A motion sensor is located on the power storage device. The touch sensor on the door handle works in conjunction with the motion sensor. This allows people with muscular diseases to open the door without having to press down the handle. By first placing a hand in front of the motion sensor and then operating the door handle, the pulley draws the steel cable and lowers the handle. This makes opening the door easier for both patients and children.

[0009] Thanks to the simple attachment of the components that make up the invention, it is easy to install, and the costs are also low due to the short assembly time. Furthermore, the invention has a robust structure. Description of the drawings:

[0010] The invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings so that the features of the invention can be better understood and appreciated, but it is not intended to limit the invention to these particular embodiments. Rather, the intention is to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents that can be included within the scope of the invention as defined by the accompanying claims. It is understood that the details shown serve solely to describe preferred embodiments of the present invention and are presented for the purpose of providing the most useful and easily understandable description possible of both the embodiment of the methods and the rules and conceptual features of the invention.

[0011] The figures that contribute to the understanding of the invention are numbered in the accompanying drawing and are listed below with their designations. Description of the reference numeral list: 1 door 2 door handles 3 Connecting shaft 4 energy storage units 5 motion sensors 6 touch sensors 7 steel cables Description of the invention:

[0012] The invention comprises a door handle 2 for opening the door 1, a connecting shaft 3 attached to the end of the door handle 2, a power storage device 4 located on the door 1 which contains a battery and a motor-driven roller, a motion sensor 5 arranged on the power storage device 4 which detects the human hand, a touch sensor 6 which is attached to the door handle 2 and detects when the door handle 2 is held, and a steel cable 7, one end of which is connected to the connecting shaft 3 and the other end of which is connected to the roller in the power storage device 4.

[0013] The invention features a touch sensor 6 which detects when the hand first appears in front of the motion sensor 5 and then the door handle 2 is grasped, thereby activating the roller in the power storage unit 4 and pulling the steel cable 7 through the roller, thereby lowering the door handle 2 and opening the door 1. Detailed description of the invention:

[0014] The parts of which the invention consists are essentially a door 1, a door handle 2, a connecting shaft 3, a power storage device 4, a motion sensor 5, a touch sensor 6, and a steel cable 7.

[0015] Door 1 is equipped with a door handle 2 and a power storage unit 4. A connecting shaft 3 is located at the end of the door handle 2. The power storage unit 4 contains a battery and a pulley driven by a motor. A motion sensor 5 is located on the power storage unit 4. A touch sensor 6 is attached to the door handle 2. A steel cable 7 is connected to the pulley inside the power storage unit 4. The other end of the steel cable 7 is connected to the connecting shaft 3. To open door 1, a hand is first moved towards the motion sensor 5, and then the door handle 2 is pressed. When the door handle 2 is pressed, the touch sensor 6 on it detects this and actuates the pulley in the power storage unit 4. The pulley pulls the steel cable 7 attached to the connecting shaft 3. This opens door 1 when the door handle 2 is pressed down. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
