Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for opening and / or closing a gate and a transmission unit therefor.
- Gates in the sense of the invention are, in addition to gates for closing off separated areas, also all facilities, such as, for. B. doors, barriers or barriers that prevent the passage of an area when closed.
- the remote control is a transmitter unit that, when pressed, sends a - usually coded - signal to a receiver unit located directly on the door operator, which in turn, as soon as it receives the corresponding signal, controls the door operator according to the desired closing or opening process.
- An infrared transmitter is usually used here.
- the driver of a car driving towards the garage door to be opened can actuate the infrared transmitter, whereupon a signal is sent from the transmitter to a receiver connected to the drive of the door and the door then opens automatically.
- this system has the disadvantage that if several people are to enter the area delimited by the gate, each of the people has a corresponding transmission unit. must sit, which increases the cost of the system. In addition, it may happen that the user accidentally does not carry the remote control with them or the remote control is not ready for operation, for example due to fatigue in the batteries which supply the remote control with power.
- the object is achieved according to the invention by a system for opening and / or closing a door with a door drive and a transmission unit and a reception unit, the transmission unit being intended for transmitting a control signal to the reception unit connected to the drive of the door, the transmission unit being provided by Light signals is activated.
- the transmitter unit makes it possible for the transmitter unit to be activated, for example, using a flashlight or the headlights of a car.
- the transmitter unit can then be fixed in the vicinity of the gate to be opened. This means that almost any number of authorized persons can activate the gate simply by pressing the flashing light.
- the transmitter unit could be set in such a way that it could only be detected by detecting three short light pulses within a time interval of e.g. B. is activated for two seconds. Any person who has this sequence of light pulses, i.e. sends the code, the garage door can open automatically. In the event of a defect or a change in the code, only the transmitter unit has to be replaced or modified. The persons authorized after the exchange are then informed of the new code or the new sequence of light pulses with which the gate can be opened.
- the present invention is suitable in principle for a system for opening and / or closing a door, but has been developed in particular for opening a door.
- the gate can, for example, also be closed automatically after a correspondingly set time interval has elapsed. If in the following therefore often only the opening of the gate is mentioned, it goes without saying that the same measures according to the invention could also be used for closing the gate.
- the transmitter unit is particularly preferably designed or arranged in such a way that it can be activated with the aid of car headlights.
- This measure has the advantage that no flashlight or other suitable light source has to be carried for the opening of the garage door, but only the flashing light on the motor vehicle has to be actuated in a suitable manner. There is therefore no risk that an authorized user will misplace or forget the flashlight or other suitable light source. Also, only the - permanently installed - transmitter unit has to be serviced regularly.
- the transmitter unit is attached to the gate itself. This has the advantage that the operator can drive his car directly to the gate to activate the transmitting unit and can generate the light signals with the aid of the car headlight. The user can thus pass through the gate comfortably and with minimal delay.
- the object described at the outset is achieved by a transmitter unit for wireless transmission of a control signal to a receiver unit, the transmitter unit having a light sensor and being able to be activated by means of a light signal detected by the light sensor.
- the light sensor can be of any suitable type. However, at least one photodiode is advantageously used here.
- photodiodes are used, which are arranged at different heights. This takes into account that the car headlights from different manufacturers and makes are often arranged at different heights. It is therefore possible to activate the transmitter unit according to the invention with almost any car of any make and type.
- the transmitter unit is configured such that it can be activated by a predetermined sequence of light signals of predetermined length. This ensures that only authorized persons who know the corresponding predetermined sequence of light signals of predetermined length can activate the transmission unit and thus open the gate.
- the transmission unit has a code setting device which allows the sequence of light pulses and the length of the light pulses to be activated for the activation of the transmission unit. This makes it possible for formerly authorized persons to withdraw the authorization to open and / or close the gate. As a result, the corresponding sequence of light pulse and the length of the light pulses for the activation of the transmitter unit can be reset. Then all authorized persons will be informed of the new code so that they can continue to open the gate.
- the code setting device advantageously has jumpers or DIL switches, which allow easy setting of the code.
- each transmission unit has a multipole DIP switch for setting the code. Due to the individual coding of the transmitter unit using the DIP switches, incorrect operation in several systems is excluded.
- the transmitter unit can be configured via parameters such as pulse number (light pulse) and time window in such a way that it can be activated by a predetermined sequence of light signals of a predetermined length.
- a particularly expedient embodiment of the present invention provides that the transmission unit has a mains-independent voltage supply, preferably a battery. This makes it possible to arrange the transmitter unit including the light sensor completely independently of a power network. There is no need to lay corresponding power cables.
- the system according to the invention or the transmitter unit according to the invention can therefore easily be retrofitted to existing gates or gate opening systems without major modifications.
- additional transmission units are provided which can be operated manually, that is to say without light signals. It is thus possible, for example, to hand over manually operable transmitters to certain people who are to have regular and permanent access to the blocked-off area. Persons who should only have temporary access to the blocked-off area can then be informed of the code signal, which changes at regular or random intervals, with the aid of which the transmitting unit can be activated.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a transmitter unit according to the invention.
- the transmitter unit according to the invention has a transmitter board 2, which is arranged in a housing 3 and is connected to photodiodes 6 via a connector 5 and connecting lines 4.
- the housing 3, including the transmitter board 2 is attached to one side of the door panel 1, preferably the inside, while the photodiodes 6, which are mounted in corresponding diode holders 7, are arranged on the opposite side, preferably the outside, of the door panel 1.
- two sleeves 9 with an external thread extend through the door panel 1, the photodiodes 6 being screwed into the diode holder 7 on one side of the sleeves 9 with the aid of a nut 8.
- the sleeve with external thread 9 projects into the housing 3, the housing 3 also being fastened to the sleeves 9 with the aid of nuts.
- the transmitter unit can be easily attached to door sections with different thicknesses.
- the transmitter board 2 can now be activated by light pulses, which are detected by the photodiodes 6. If the correct sequence of light pulses is detected on the photodiodes 6, the transmitting unit is activated and sends a corresponding opening signal to a receiving unit (not shown) which is connected to the drive of the gate so that the gate can be opened.
- the transmitter unit can be attached directly to the door leaf 1, the transmitter unit or the system according to the invention can also be retrofitted to existing door opening systems.
- the corresponding coding i.e. the predetermined sequence of light pulses of a certain length can be set or changed accordingly with the aid of a coding setting device (not shown), which can consist, for example, of jumpers or DIL switches.
- the code can also be set using software that can be exchanged to change the code.
- the power supply to the transmitter unit is preferably independent of the mains, so that no corresponding power supply cables have to be laid.
- the electronics of the transmitter unit are advantageously able to distinguish between light increase, which is caused, for example, by headlights, and light fall, which can be caused, for example, by the shadow cast by people who pass the photocell when the sun is shining. Accidental opening of the gate due to passers-by can thus be avoided.
- the preferred embodiment has two LEDs in addition to the function check.
- the first LED indicates whether an increase in the intensity of the light incident on the photodiode 6 is measured and the second LED lights up when the transmitter is activated. If necessary, a third LED can also be provided which lights up when the intensity decreases.
- the transmission signal on the frequency FM 40.685 MHz is advantageously transmitted to the receiving unit and, for example, triggers the open command of the door control.
- the transmitter housing and the photodiodes including the photodiode holder form a unit.
- the bottom of the housing 3, in which the transmitter board 2 is arranged is screwed with two sleeves 9 with an external thread.
- the other ends of the sleeves 9 are inserted through the holes through the door leaf 1 and screwed using a nut 8.
- the photodiodes 6 can now be inserted from the outside into the sleeve 9 and connected to the transmitter board 2 inside the housing 3.
- the sleeves 9 are already assembled in the delivery state.
- a third sleeve with a photodiode can be installed between the two photodiodes of the transmitter.
- the transmitter board also has a slot for a fourth photodiode, which can be integrated into the door leaf if necessary (this can also be done without a sleeve).
- the user-specific code must be set and taught in at the receiver (to do this, press a key).
- two photodiodes 6 are installed and connected as standard. If a third or even a fourth diode 6 is required, these can be integrated into the system with little effort. If necessary, special optics can be provided to improve behavior when the sun is low.
