Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device specifically designed to perform the initial opening maneuver and the final closing maneuver of sliding-locking doors such as those used in subway and train cars or the like, wherein their opening is initiated by a forward displacement of the door to release it from the body of the car or element in question, and continues with the sideways sliding motion.
  • the door driven directly by the pneumatic cylinder is provided with a rack that in its longitudinal displacement turns a pinion on whose shaft is mounted a transmission belt that connects said pinion with another one coupled to the rack of the second door, so that by using identical racks and pinions the motion of one door is transmitted to the other with perfect symmetry.
  • the sliding-locking doors of this type have mechanisms that enable their combined motion, so that when the doors are closest to each other, that is, when they are closed, as well as in their guides for the sliding motion they can be inserted in the car body to establish a more or less tight closure and a surface continuity between the doors and the car body, thereby optimizing the aerodynamics of the latter and preventing noises made by the air upon contact with the edges of the doors.
  • this front or transverse motion of the guides associated to the doors is achieved by double-action pneumatic cylinders, which with the aid of suitable guides generate the required motion.
  • the main problem of this solution is that the same cylinders wedge the door in its closed position, so that if there is a pressure loss in them for any reason the door will be released and free to move outwards with any interior force, such as a passenger leaning on it.
  • the actuation device for sliding-locking doors of the invention enables optimum displacement conditions both in the forward motion of the door and in its subsequent longitudinal motion.
  • the guides for the longitudinal motion of the doors with its corresponding mechanisms that are in turn aided by transverse guides that enable the forward motion, receive the action of a pneumatic cylinder that is hinged onto the fixed chassis with respect to which move the doors; connected to the shaft of said cylinder is a C-bar to which is in turn hinged a second bar that will act on the aforementioned longitudinal guide of the doors, so that the free end of said arched bar defines during the actuation of the pneumatic cylinder a motion that includes an approximation to the working plane of the doors, forcing the longitudinal guides of said doors to move outwards when the piston emerges from the cylinder and to move inwards when the piston retracts.
  • the transverse guides that aid in the wedging/release of the door system that is, in the outwards and inwards motion of the longitudinal guides on which the door sliding mechanisms are established, are mounted on four rollers which ensure a perfect guidance of said system both during the outwards motion of the longitudinal guides and during its inward motion.
  • the device of the invention is applicable for example to doors (1) that can fit in the car body (2), establishing an external surface continuity with said body, or capable of being released and sliding outwards with the aid of transverse guides (3) that, in accordance with one of the characteristics of the invention, travel each on four casters (4), thereby providing an optimum stability to the guides (3), which are connected to the longitudinal guides (5) on which takes place the longitudinal displacement of the doors (1), that will result in their opening when said longitudinal guides (5) have emerged sufficiently from the body (2) of the car;
  • this longitudinal actuation is performed for example by a pneumatic cylinder (6) acting directly by means of a bar (7) on one of the doors (1), and acting indirectly on the other door through a belt (8) that is attached to the same arm (7) with the aid of a clip (9) and is attached on its other end to the other door (1) with the aid of a second clip (10), so that said transmission belt (8) determines a synchronized and opposite motion of one of the
  • the wedging/releasing operation of the guides (5) is achieved by the corresponding pneumatic cylinder (11), as shown in figure 2, being connected on the free end of its shaft to a C-bar (12) with an approximately semi-circular shape, that on its free end (13) is hinged to a second bar (14) that will act on the guides (5) to retract them or push them outwards, according to the two positions shown in a solid and broken line in figure 2;
  • the purpose of the C-shape of the bar (12) is that its motion does not affect a shaft (15) that is jointed to said bar (12) through a crank (16) so that the resulting motion of the arm (12) implies a rotation of the shaft (15) that is meant to transmit the motion to the door locking mechanisms, which is foreign to the invention and the description of which is beyond its scope.
  • said arm (12) may be straight.

Claims (2)

  1. Dispositif d'actionnement pour des portes coulissantes à emboîtement, en particulier pour des portes coulissantes du type utilisé dans des voitures du train et analogue, dans lequel deux mouvements combinés et consécutifs sont établis, un d'un déplacement longitudinal sur la face externe de la caisse de voiture, et un autre d'un déplacement transversal pour relâchement du verrouillage de la porte de ladite caisse, comprenant des guidages transversaux (3) et des guidages longitudinaux (5) pour le déplacement des portes (1) qui peuvent se déplacer vers l'avant, c'est-à-dire dans un sens de relâchement de verrouillage, sous l'action d'un vérin pneumatique (11) qui est articulé au châssis fixe par rapport auquel se déplacent les portes (1), ledit vérin pneumatique (11) incorporant, relié d'une manière rigide à une extrémité libre de son arbre, un bras (12) ayant une configuration en forme de C, caractérisé en ce que ledit bras (12) est articulé à son extrémité libre (13) à un second bras (14) qui agira sur les guidages longitudinaux (5) des portes pour les rétracter ou les pousser vers l'extérieur, ledit bras (12) étant en outre relié à son extrémité libre (13) à une manivelle (16) qui, pendant le déplacement du bras (12), subit un mouvement de pivotement autour d'un arbre (15) auquel elle est clavetée d'une manière appropriée de sorte que ledit arbre (15) transmet son mouvement au mécanisme de verrouillage de la porte.
  2. Dispositif d'actionnement pour des portes coulissantes à emboîtement selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que les guidages transversaux (3), avec lesquels les manoeuvres de verrouillage et de libération du guidage longitudinal (5) sont effectuées, sont montés sur des groupes correspondants de quatre roulettes (4) qui stabilisent sa trajectoire.
