  • Publication number: 20210180384
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method (50) of providing finger pinch protection at a hinge area of a swing door-based entrance system (1) having a motorized automatic door operator (30) for opening (2) of the swing door (10) in an automatic mode of the entrance system (1), wherein the entrance system (1) also has a manual mode in which a human user may cause opening and closing of the swing door (10) by manual force. The method involves monitoring (52), by a first sensor function (S1), for presence of a person or object in a first zone (PD) at the first door leaf surface (12-1) and non-proximate to a vertical door edge (14). The method also involves monitoring, by a second sensor function (S2), for presence of a person or object in a second zone (PDHA) at the first door leaf surface (12-1) and proximate to said vertical door edge (14).

  • Publication number: 20200332586
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a swing door operator adapted for employing a first predetermined speed trajectory, or a first and a second predetermined speed trajectory in sequence, when opening a swing door leaf (1). The first predetermined speed trajectory comprises the swing door leaf (1) being moved from a closed position (C) to a first open position (A). The second predetermined speed trajectory comprises the swing door leaf (1) being moved from the first open position (A) to a second open position (B) at a reduced kinetic energy setting. The first speed trajectory is initiated in response to an opening command or an evacuation command received by the swing door operator. The second speed trajectory is initiated in response to an evacuation command received by the swing door operator when the door leaf (1) arrives at the first open position (A).

  • Patent number: 10480236
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of operating a swing door, whereby a drive moves a door leaf from a first position of the door leaf to a second position of the door leaf. For providing an operation of the swing door in a more effective and/or efficient way the method is characterized in that the drive adds an additional driving force and/or torque to the door leaf in the first position and/or the second position of the door leaf in relation to an external driving force and/or torque acting on the door leaf to hold the door leaf in the first position or second position, respectively.
