- the delay member 29 then cooperates with the transmission system 31.
- the second piece 77 of the damper 73 progressively moves from its first (lower) position to its second (upper) position. ) at a certain speed v determined by the intensity adjustment of the damper 73.
- This passage determines the duration of the retention period of the door 11.
- the transmission system 31 progressively carries out a second displacement, of the holding position ( Figure 3 ) at the release position shown on the Figure 5 , the second displacement being braked by the shock absorber 73.
- the second piece 77 then reaches its second position (high) and the angle ⁇ is substantially zero.
- the bracing of the third piece 49 on the first piece 45 ceases, that is to say that the third piece 49 no longer exerts retention force F2 on the first piece 45 integral with the door 11.
- the Gate 11 thus begins to close under the action of the restoring force F1 exerted by the return member 27.
- the door 11 no longer exerts the reaction force F3 on the third piece 49.
- the second piece 47 of the system transmission 31 no longer exerts the mechanical action F4 on the shock absorber 73.

- the second piece 47 moves from its second position to its first position under the effect of the weight of the transmission system 31 and possibly pushed by the second part 77 of the damper 73 moving towards its first (low) position.
- the third piece 49 is no longer in contact with the first piece 45 and hangs.
- the transmission system 31 is then returned to the rest position.
- the second part 77 of the shock absorber 73 is then either already returned to its first position, or is in the process of returning to it.
- the retainer 13 is ready to retain the door 11 again.
- the relative position of the first piece 45 integral with the door 11 and the third piece 49, whose axis of rotation ⁇ is integral with the door frame 7, determines a range of opening positions. with restraint of the door.
- these parts 45, 49 are arranged for the door 11 is held in the open position as the door 11 is spaced at least about 40 to 50 cm from the closed position.
- the door 11 is retained substantially in the open position during the retention period without intervention of the operator.
- the operator after opening the door 11, does not need to hold it. It closes automatically after the hold period.
- the use of the door 11 is easier during the passage of the operator.
- the door opening 11 requires very little extra effort for the operator.
- the duration of the holding period, between opening and automatic closing, can be adjusted.
- the operator does not need to open the door 11 to the maximum to engage the door retainer 11. It is also possible to arrange the retainer 13 so that the door is retained only if it is removed more than a certain distance from the closed position, for example 40 to 50 cm.
- the retaining assembly 13 requires no external energy input other than that related to the reaction force F3 exerted by the door 11 on the transmission system 31.

- the blade is metallic.
- the blade assumes all functions.
- the blade is in particular movable between a retaining position where it is braced on the first part, and a release position, where it is substantially vertical.

Les portes coulissantes sont d'utilisation courante, par exemple dans le domaine agroalimentaire, où elles équipent souvent les chambres froides, en particulier celles de grande taille.Sliding doors are commonly used, for example in the food industry, where they are often used in cold rooms, especially large rooms.
L'effort à exercer par un utilisateur pour ouvrir une porte coulissante de chambre froide est assez élevé. En effet, comme la porte doit être étanche, elle est en général munie de rampes particulières, qui la déplacent suivant trois directions : latéralement pour assurer la fonction principale d'obturation du passage, verticalement pour appliquer un joint inférieur au sol en approche finale, enfin perpendiculairement au plan de la porte coulissante pour appliquer un joint périphérique contre l'huisserie en approche finale. De tels systèmes présentent l'avantage de plaquer le joint périphérique de la porte coulissante contre l'huisserie d'une manière parfaite.The effort of a user to open a cold room sliding door is quite high. Indeed, as the door must be sealed, it is usually equipped with special ramps, which move in three directions: laterally to ensure the main function of closing the passage, vertically to apply a lower seal to the ground on final approach, finally perpendicular to the plane of the sliding door to apply a peripheral seal against the frame on final approach. Such systems have the advantage of pressing the peripheral seal of the sliding door against the frame in a perfect manner.
De nombreuses portes coulissantes sont à ouverture et fermeture manuelles. Pour l'ouverture, il faut tirer la porte coulissante pour la sortir des rampes et vaincre l'effort de frottement du joint périphérique de la porte sur l'huisserie. L'effort initial à fournir est important, par exemple sur les 150 premiers millimètres. Aussi, les portes coulissantes sont souvent équipées de poignées qui démultiplient l'effort au début de l'ouverture. Puis, quand la porte coulissante est dans sa phase de coulissement, l'effort à fournir est faible et correspond à l'effort de roulement de la porte coulissante sur le rail.Many sliding doors are manual opening and closing. For the opening, it is necessary to pull the sliding door out of the ramps and overcome the frictional force of the peripheral seal of the door on the frame. The initial effort to provide is important, for example on the first 150 millimeters. Also, sliding doors are often equipped with handles that multiply the effort at the beginning of the opening. Then, when the sliding door is in its sliding phase, the effort required is low and corresponds to the rolling force of the sliding door on the rail.
La porte coulissante doit ensuite être refermée rapidement, afin de minimiser les déperditions d'énergie. Pour l'opérateur, l'action de refermer la porte coulissante est une perte de temps. Pour résoudre ce problème, des portes coulissantes avec système de rappel ont été développées. Par exemple, un tendeur et des poulies ont été ajoutés, tendant à ramener la porte coulissante dans sa position de fermeture.The sliding door must then be closed quickly, in order to minimize energy losses. For the operator, the action of closing the sliding door is a waste of time. To solve this problem, sliding doors with return system have been developed. For example, a tensioner and pulleys have been added, tending to return the sliding door to its closed position.
Malheureusement, de tels systèmes de rappel contraignent l'opérateur à tenir la porte coulissante dans la position ouverte lors de son passage, ce qui est incommode, en particulier lorsque l'opérateur transporte une charge.Unfortunately, such return systems compel the operator to hold the sliding door in the open position during its passage, which is inconvenient, especially when the operator carries a load.

Les termes d'orientation employés dans cette description s'entendent par référence à l'orientation usuelle d'une porte coulissante, illustrée sur les figures par les directions latérale L, verticale V et perpendiculaire P orthogonales entre elles. La direction latérale L s'étend donc selon la largeur de la porte coulissante, qui est aussi la direction principale de coulissement de la porte coulissante. La direction perpendiculaire P est sensiblement perpendiculaire à la porte coulissante et s'étend selon l'épaisseur de la porte. La direction verticale V est définie comme la direction orthogonale à la direction latérale L et à la direction perpendiculaire P et correspond à la direction d'élévation de la porte coulissante montée.The orientation terms used in this description are understood by reference to the usual orientation of a sliding door, illustrated in the figures by the lateral directions L, vertical V and perpendicular P orthogonal to each other. The lateral direction L therefore extends along the width of the sliding door, which is also the main direction of sliding of the sliding door. The perpendicular direction P is substantially perpendicular to the sliding door and extends according to the thickness of the door. The vertical direction V is defined as the direction orthogonal to the lateral direction L and the perpendicular direction P and corresponds to the elevation direction of the mounted sliding door.

L'installation 9 comprend également des moyens de guidage de la porte, tels qu'un rail 15 situé au dessus de la porte et des plots 17 situés au sol, ainsi que des moyens destinés à assurer une étanchéité lorsque la porte est dans la position fermée, tels que des joints périphériques 19 destinés à se situer entre, d'une part, le pourtour de la porte 11 et, d'autre part, la paroi 1 ou le sol 5, lorsque la porte 11 est dans la position fermée.The
Les joints périphériques 19 comprennent un joint inférieur 21 s'étendant en bas de la porte selon la direction latérale L, destiné à assurer une étanchéité entre la porte 11 et le sol 5 lorsque la porte 11 est dans la position fermée.The
La porte 11 est de forme générale rectangulaire. Elle est munie de renforts 23 et de moyens 25 aptes à coopérer avec les moyens de guidage 15, 17 mentionnés ci-dessus pour guider un déplacement de la porte 11 de la position ouverte vers la position fermée, et réciproquement.The
Dans la position ouverte, la porte 11 permet un passage d'au moins 40 à 50 cm selon la direction latérale L (
Dans la position fermée, la porte 11 se situe devant l'ouverture 3, qu'elle obture complètement.In the closed position, the
Le rail 15 et les plots 17 sont aptes à assurer un guidage de la porte 11 entre la position ouverte et la position fermée. Le mouvement principal de la porte 11 entre la position ouverte et la position fermée est une translation selon la direction latérale L. Cette translation est complétée, en phase finale de fermeture, par des mouvements de translation selon les directions verticale V et perpendiculaire P de façon à ce que les joints périphériques 19, dont le joint inférieur 21, soient pincés entre, d'une part, la porte 11 et d'autre part, la paroi 1 ou le sol 5.The

L'organe de rappel 27 (
L'organe de rappel 27 est conformé pour, lorsque la porte 11 est dans la position ouverte, se trouver dans une position étirée et exercer sur la porte une force de rappel F1 tendant à déplacer la porte 11 de la position ouverte vers la position fermée. Lorsque la porte 11 est dans la position fermée, le tendeur 27 se trouve dans une position moins étirée et exerce une force de rappel F1 moindre sur la porte 11.The
Par « force de rappel », on entend en fait la résultante selon la direction latérale L des efforts exercés par l'organe de rappel 27 sur la porte 11. En effet, la porte 11 étant guidée en translation selon la direction latérale L, les autres composantes éventuelles des efforts exercés par l'organe de rappel 27 sur la porte 11 ne jouent pas de rôle dans le rappel de la porte 11.By "return force" is meant in fact the resultant in the lateral direction L of the forces exerted by the
En variante, le tendeur 37 peut être remplacé par un câble (non représenté), la seconde extrémité 41 étant par exemple reliée à un contrepoids (non représenté) mobile verticalement. Dans ce cas, l'organe de rappel 27 exerce sur la porte 11 une force de rappel F2 constante, indépendante de la position dans laquelle se trouve la porte 11. La force de rappel F1 est alors sensiblement égale au poids du contrepoids.Alternatively, the

La seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73 présente par exemple la forme d'un piston comportant une tête 79 dirigée vers le bas, sur laquelle le plateau poussoir 69 de la seconde pièce 47 vient exercer une action mécanique F4 selon la direction verticale V dirigée vers le haut pendant la période de retenue.The
L'amortisseur 73 est conformé pour que la seconde partie 77 passe de sa première position à sa seconde position avec une certaine vitesse v, sensiblement indépendante de l'intensité de l'action mécanique F4 exercée sur la seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73 par la seconde pièce 47 du système de transmission 31.The
L'amortisseur 73 (
Avantageusement, l'organe de temporisation 29 comprend des moyens pour autoriser un déplacement du système de transmission 31 à une vitesse v réglable pendant la période de retenue. Par exemple, l'amortisseur 73 comprend une molette 81 pour augmenter ou diminuer la vitesse à laquelle la seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73 peut se mouvoir lorsque la seconde pièce 47 du système de transmission 31 exerce sur elle l'action mécanique F4. La molette 81 règle le mécanisme hydraulique ou pneumatique de l'amortisseur.Advantageously, the
Avantageusement, l'installation comprend des moyens d'ajustement de la position de l'amortisseur 73 par rapport au cadre de la porte 7, de manière à régler la course de la seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73. Par exemple, grâce à un support d'amortisseur 59 réglable, l'amortisseur 73 est fixé à une hauteur h selon la direction verticale V, définie par exemple comme la distance entre la molette 81 de l'amortisseur 73 et la face supérieure de la porte 11.Advantageously, the installation comprises means for adjusting the position of the
Le fonctionnement de l'installation va maintenant être décrit ci-après.The operation of the installation will now be described below.
La porte 11, au repos, se trouve dans la position fermée. Le système de transmission 31 est dans la position de repos, la seconde pièce 47 étant dans sa première position (basse), la troisième pièce 49 pointant librement vers le bas. Le plateau poussoir 69 repose sur l'un des paliers 55 de guidage de la seconde pièce 47. La seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73, sous l'action du mécanisme interne de l'amortisseur 73, se trouve dans sa première position. Selon le réglage de la hauteur h de l'amortisseur 73, la tête 79 du piston formé par la seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73 se trouve au contact du plateau poussoir 69, ou bien à une certaine distance au dessus de lui selon la direction verticale V.The
Un opérateur commence à ouvrir la porte 11, qui, après une phase initiale comportant des mouvements de translation selon les directions perpendiculaire P et verticale V, effectue un mouvement de translation selon la direction latérale L, de gauche à droite sur les
A un moment donné, la première pièce 45 du système de transmission 31, dans l'exemple une crémaillère, vient en contact avec la troisième pièce 49 du système de transmission 31, dans l'exemple un cliquet en forme de pointeau. Le système de transmission 31 passe de la position de repos à la position de retenue. La troisième pièce 49 s'incline dans le sens de l'ouverture de la porte 11, matérialisé par une flèche 83, et s'encliquète sur la première pièce 45. La seconde pièce 47 reste dans sa première position (basse). La seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 79 reste également dans sa première position.At a given moment, the
Puis, la porte 11 arrive dans la position ouverte souhaitée par l'opérateur, représentée sur les
La porte 11 se met alors en prise avec l'ensemble de retenue 13. La porte 11 amorce un léger mouvement de fermeture faisant pivoter légèrement la troisième pièce 49 autour de son axe de rotation Δ et monter la seconde pièce 47 selon la direction de translation T, jusqu'à ce que le plateau poussoir 69 entre en contact avec la seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 79. Cette phase de mise en prise est d'autant plus courte que la distance entre la tête 79 de la seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73 et le plateau poussoir 69 est réduite et que les jeux entre la première pièce 45 et la troisième pièce 49, la troisième pièce 49 et la seconde pièce 47, et les jeux internes de l'amortisseur 73 sont faibles.The
Lorsque la porte 11 est en prise avec l'ensemble de retenue 13, elle se trouve dans la position de retenue représentée sur la
La force de réaction F3 exercée par la porte 11 sur la troisième pièce 49 est transmise par le système de transmission 31 à l'organe de temporisation 29, sous la forme de l'action mécanique F4 exercée vers le haut selon la direction verticale V par le plateau poussoir 69 sur la seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73.The reaction force F3 exerted by the
L'organe de temporisation 29 coopère alors avec le système de transmission 31. Sous l'action mécanique F4 du plateau poussoir 69, la seconde pièce 77 de l'amortisseur 73 passe progressivement de sa première position (basse) à sa seconde position (haute) à une certaine vitesse v déterminée par le réglage en intensité de l'amortisseur 73. Ce passage détermine la durée de la période de retenue de la porte 11. Le système de transmission 31 effectue progressivement un second déplacement, de la position de retenue (
On comprend en outre que si la hauteur h de l'amortisseur 73 est augmentée grâce aux moyens de réglage 59 de la position de l'amortisseur 73, la course de la seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73 est réduite, ce qui réduit la durée de la période de retenue.It is furthermore understood that if the height h of the
Il existe donc deux façon de régler la durée de tenue : une première en modifiant la vitesse de déplacement v de la seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73 (réglage par la molette 81) et une seconde en modifiant la position relative de l'amortisseur 73 et de la plaque 53 (réglage grâce au support d'amortisseur 59).There are two ways to adjust the holding time: a first by changing the speed of movement v of the
La seconde pièce 77 atteint ensuite sa seconde position (haute) et l'angle θ est sensiblement nul. L'arc-boutement de la troisième pièce 49 sur la première pièce 45 cesse, c'est-à-dire que la troisième pièce 49 n'exerce plus de force de retenue F2 sur la première pièce 45 solidaire de la porte 11. La porte 11 commence donc à se fermer sous l'action de la force de rappel F1 exercée par l'organe de rappel 27. La porte 11 n'exerce plus la force de réaction F3 sur la troisième pièce 49. La seconde pièce 47 du système de transmission 31 n'exerce plus l'action mécanique F4 sur l'amortisseur 73.The
Pendant la fermeture, la troisième pièce 49 cliquète sur la première pièce 45 sans s'opposer au mouvement de la porte 11. La seconde pièce 47 n'exerçant plus l'action mécanique F4 sur l'amortisseur 73, le mécanisme interne de ce dernier déplace la seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73 de sa seconde position vers sa première position. La seconde pièce 47 passe de sa seconde position à sa première position sous l'effet du poids du système de transmission 31 et éventuellement poussée par la seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73 se déplaçant vers sa première position (basse).During closure, the
A un moment donné, la troisième pièce 49 n'est plus en contact avec la première pièce 45 et pend. Le système de transmission 31 est alors revenu dans la position de repos. La seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73 est alors soit déjà revenue dans sa première position, soit est en train d'y revenir. Lorsque la seconde partie 77 de l'amortisseur 73 est dans la seconde position, l'ensemble de retenue 13 est prêt à retenir la porte 11 à nouveau.At one point, the
On comprend en outre que la position relative de la première pièce 45 solidaire de la porte 11 et de la troisième pièce 49, dont l'axe de rotation Δ est solidaire de l'encadrement de porte 7, détermine une gamme de positions d'ouverture avec retenue de la porte. Avantageusement, ces pièces 45, 49 sont agencées pour la porte 11 soit retenue en position ouverte dès lors que la porte 11 est écartée d'au moins environ 40 à 50 cm de la position fermée.It is furthermore understood that the relative position of the
Grâce à l'ensemble de retenue 13 qui vient d'être décrit, la porte 11 est retenue sensiblement dans la position ouverte pendant la période de retenue sans intervention de l'opérateur. L'opérateur, après avoir ouvert la porte 11, n'a pas besoin de la retenir. Celle-ci se referme automatiquement après la période de retenue. L'utilisation de la porte 11 est donc plus aisée lors du passage de l'opérateur.With the retaining
L'ouverture de porte 11 nécessite très peu d'efforts supplémentaires pour l'opérateur.The
La durée de la période de retenue, entre l'ouverture et la fermeture automatique, peut être réglée.The duration of the holding period, between opening and automatic closing, can be adjusted.
L'opérateur n'a pas besoin d'ouvrir la porte 11 au maximum pour enclencher la retenue de la porte 11. Il est également possible d'agencer l'ensemble de retenue 13 pour que la porte ne soit retenue que si elle est écartée de plus d'une certaine distance de la position fermée, par exemple 40 à 50 cm.The operator does not need to open the
En outre, l'ensemble de retenue 13 ne nécessite aucun apport d'énergie extérieure autre que celui lié à la force de réaction F3 exercée par la porte 11 sur le système de transmission 31.In addition, the retaining
Grâce à l'amortisseur 73, la durée de la période de retenue peut être réglée, comme on l'a vu, de deux façons différentes et complémentaires.With the
Selon une variante (non représentée), la troisième pièce 45 comprend une lame flexible faisant saillie de la seconde pièce 47 selon la direction verticale V vers le bas, la lame comportant une extrémité distale destinée à coopérer avec la première pièce 45 et une extrémité proximale s'étendant sensiblement selon la direction de translation T de la seconde pièce 47. La lame est souple, de manière à pouvoir cliqueter sur la première pièce 45. Par exemple, la lame est métallique.According to a variant (not shown), the
Bien que structurellement différente du pointeau décrit ci-dessus, la lame en assume toutes les fonctions. La lame est notamment mobile entre une position de retenue où elle est arc-boutée sur la première pièce, et une position de libération, où elle est sensiblement verticale.Although structurally different from the needle described above, the blade assumes all functions. The blade is in particular movable between a retaining position where it is braced on the first part, and a release position, where it is substantially vertical.
Selon une autre variante, la première pièce 45 n'est pas une crémaillère, mais une bande présentant des reliefs 65 quelconques ou un coefficient de frottement élevé avec l'extrémité 71 de la troisième pièce 49, par exemple une bande rugueuse ou une bande de caoutchouc fixée sur la face supérieure de la porte 11. La troisième pièce 49, selon sa position, peut s'arc-bouter ou glisser sur la bande.According to another variant, the
