Patent number: 8230759Abstract: An integrated brake and chain disk device for a door operator includes an electrical motor with a main shaft coupled to a gear box for rolling a rolling door through an output shaft of the gear box; a brake device for braking the main shaft; a chain disk device for manually rotating the main shaft upon power failure; a clutch device which disengages the intermediate shaft from the chain disk device or engages the intermediate shaft with the chain disk device. The brake device includes at least one torsion spring fitting on a fixed hub. The torsion spring tightly fits on the hub and becomes immovable when a force in a spiral direction of the torsion spring is exerted on either end of the torsion spring, and can be released from the hub when a force in a direction opposite to the spiral direction of the torsion spring is exerted on either end of the torsion spring. In this way, the brake device and the chain disk device are integrated.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2008Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Inventor: Chung Hsien Hsieh

Publication number: 20120024484Abstract: A door machine mechanism of the fireproof door comprises a force exerted end which is activated to roll a rotary axle and a loading end for receiving the weight of the door curtain. The rotary axle comprises an internal axle and two external axles. The force exerted end and the loading end are applied on the internal axle and the external axle respectively. The internal axle and the external axle are normally coupled via a clutch mechanism. A torsion spring brake mechanism is used to normally brake the rotary axle against the load of the loading end by changing the inner diameter of the torsion spring, or when the torsion spring brake mechanism is subjected to an external force from the force exerted end, the rotary axle is released. As such, the clutch mechanism is controlled to interrupt the coupling of the internal axle and the external axle in the event of the fire alarm such that the door curtain falls and shuts the fireproof door.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2010Publication date: February 2, 2012Inventor: Chung-Hsien Hsieh
