Title: Braking mechanism for a movable arm of a movable door wing and corresponding door
Inventor: MATTHIAS HUCKER
IPC: E05F5/08
Filed: 2017-06-13
Abstract: A braking mechanism 10 for a movable door wing 1 with an electric motor 14 operating as a generator, the at least one drive shaft of which can be rotated by a swinging movement of the door wing producing a movement-dependent output voltage which is applied to an evaluation and control unit (EVU) 20, and a stop spring 12 which damps a manual opening movement of the door wing between a predetermined opening angle and a maximum opening angle with a constant first damping, wherein the EVU 20 performs a pulse width modulation (PWM) of the motor current cooperating with the output voltage and establishes an effective sequence of braking force and generates a variable second damping of the opening movement of the door wing so that when released the door wing stops at the maximum opening angle. There may be a sensor to detect the opening velocity or current opening angle of the wing. The ECU may calculate the kinetic energy of door wing and thus alter the braking force sequence. There may be a memory which stores characteristic braking curves for the door based on different kinetic energy values. The electric motor may be a brushless direct current motor.
