  • Patent number: 8230759
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20120024484
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7822107
    Abstract: A spread spectrum receiver in a communication system compensating channel response, and the method thereof is disclosed. The spread spectrum receiver comprises a multiplier, a filter, a data channel correlator, a delay, and a channel compensator. The multiplier (322) multiplies despread pilots (320) with conjugate of pilot pattern (324) to provide channel estimates. The filter (323) filters the channel estimates from the multiplier (322). The data channel correlator (30) despreads data symbols in a data channel. The delay module (38), coupled to the data channel correlator (30), delays the despread data symbols for a period. The channel compensator (34), coupled to the filter (323) and the delay module (38), compensates the delayed despread data symbols with the filtered channel estimates.

  • Patent number: 7448426
    Abstract: A power-off door closing device of fire proof rolling door in which the rolling door slides down to close by its own weight under abnormal power-off condition by brake-releasing action or by brake-applied action of a braking pin actuated by a energized solenoid, through successive movement of the first end of a sliding lever of a solenoid with a bent arm, a clamp member and a brake actuating rod. This device can be easily changed into non-failsafe door closing fire proof type with original configurations wherein the solenoid is reverse located so that the brake-released action caused by an energized solenoid or the brake-applied action under abnormal power-off condition applies. A reserved power supply temporarily energizes the solenoid to maintain a temporary brake-releasing under abnormal power-off condition, to enable the rolling door sliding down to close by its own weight.

  • Patent number: 7341129
    Abstract: This invention relates to a double-sided equipment for a braking system, comprising a first braking pad, a second braking pad, a braking component, a fixing spring component, a compression spring, and an electromagnet, wherein the braking component located between the first braking pad and the second braking pad is movable along the axle of the door operator but is unrotatable with respect to the door operator axle. As a result of the compression spring, the first braking pad and the braking component will be pushed together towards the second braking pad, thereby the braking component is clamped from its two sides by the two braking pads. When the first braking pad is retracted by the electromagnet, the fixing spring enables the braking component to separate from the second braking pad, causing the braking component to be fully separated from the first and second braking pads.
