Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a gate opening/closing device in which a gate is rotatably attached to a gate post via a hinge, and a drive section is connected to the gate via an arm.

Generally, in this type of gate opening/closing device, the driving part is exposed to the outside, so the driving part does not match the scenery around the gate, which is not desirable in terms of architectural aesthetics. This has been a particularly significant problem with gates for general households.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is
The purpose is to camouflage the drive unit placed around the gate so that it does not appear to be a drive unit. The technical means for achieving this purpose is to form a disguised cover that is integrally molded with a flower pot part that is open upward and a storage part that is open downward, and to plant plants such as flowers in the flowerpot part of this disguise cover. The drive unit is housed in the storage section. According to this method, not only is the flower pot part camouflaged so that the plants such as flowers are not seen as the drive part, but the drive part is covered by a disguise cover formed by integrally molding the flower pot part. However, since it works so as not to be seen as a driving part,
Rather than simply placing a flowerpot on top of the drive unit, this allows the drive unit to naturally match the landscape around the gate, which is preferable in terms of architectural aesthetics.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the gate opening/closing device shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b, a gate 1 is rotatably attached to a gate post 3 via a hinge 2, and a drive unit 5 is arranged near the bottom of the gate post 3 by means of a base 4. An arm 6 is fixed to an output shaft 5a that protrudes below the drive section 5. A guide rail 7 is attached to the lower surface of the gate 1, and a guide roller 8 inserted into the guide rail 7 is rotatably supported at the tip of the arm 6. And now,
For example, when an open signal is sent from a transmitter in a building to a receiver installed around the gate 1, the drive section 5 is actuated based on this open signal, and its output shaft 5a rotates. Then, as the output shaft 5a rotates, the arm 6 rotates, and the guide roller 8 provided at the tip of the arm 6 rolls within the guide rail 7 and enters the inner part of the gate 1. rotates in the opening direction about hinge 2 to the fully open position (position 1 in Figure 1b).
Reach a). After that, when the transmitter sends a close signal to the receiver to close this fully opened gate 1,
Based on this closing signal, the output shaft 5a of the drive section 5 rotates in the opposite direction to that described above, and along with this rotation, the arm 6 also rotates in the opposite direction to that described above. Then, the guide roller 8 at the tip of the arm 6 rolls within the guide rail 7 and retreats to the front, and the gate 1 rotates about the hinge 2 in the closing direction to reach the fully closed position.

The present invention provides a drive unit 5 of such a gate opening/closing device.
is to be covered by a camouflage cover 9.

The disguise cover 9 used in this embodiment is
As shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, it is formed by integrally molding a flower pot part 9a that is open upward and a storage part 9b that is open downward, and its cross section is approximately H-shaped. Plants such as flowers are planted in the flower pot section 9a, and the drive section 5 (electric motor 1) is placed in the storage section 9b.
0 and a reduction gear 11) are housed therein. Further, in the rear wall of the storage section 9b, there is a drainage hole 12 for draining water accumulated in the flowerpot section 9a at the upper part thereof to the outside.
is provided.

In the case of a gate opening/closing device in which the drive unit 5 is covered by the disguise cover 9 having such a configuration, plants such as flowers planted in the flowerpot portion 9a of the disguise cover 9 are simply camouflaged so that they do not appear as the drive unit. Also, the fact that the drive unit 5 is covered by the disguise cover 9 formed by integrally molding the flower pot part 9a works to prevent it from being seen as the drive unit 5, so that the drive unit 5 and the gate 1 are visually different from each other. Even if the arm 6 connecting the two is visible, the drive unit 5 can be made to naturally match the scenery around the gate 1 (see Fig. 1).

The camouflage cover 9 is not limited to the one shown in FIG. 2, but may be, for example, the one shown in FIG. 3. This camouflage cover 9 is designed to cover the engine cover 13 that covers the drive section 5 in advance, and the length of the storage section 9b is shortened.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the drive unit placed around the gate is integrally formed with a flowerpot part for planting plants such as flowers and a storage part for storing the drive part. Since it is covered with a camouflage cover made of a camouflage cover, it not only camouflages the flowers and other plants planted in the flowerpot part of the camouflage cover so that it does not appear as a driving part.
The fact that the driving part is covered by a disguise cover formed by integrally molding the flower pot part is prevented from appearing as the driving part. Therefore, the drive section can be made to naturally match the landscape around the gate, and can be shaped to be aesthetically pleasing.
