  • Patent number: 11851935
    Abstract: A door opener capable of controlling the door closing speed includes a driving device and a generator mode operating module electrically connected to the driving device. The driving device includes a motor which can be supplied with power to pivot a door from an open position to a closed position. The driving device detects the position of the door by a switch. When pivotal movement of the door is achieved without supplying power to the door, the pivotal movement sets the generator mode operating module to a generator mode or a non-generator mode. In the generator mode, the motor is impeded by the electromagnetic resistance, such that the pivoting speed of the door is reduced. In the non-generator mode, the motor is not impeded by the electromagnetic resistance, such that the pivoting speed of the door is increased.

  • Patent number: 11834889
    Abstract: A door opener includes a driving device having a first transmission member driven by a motor. A push rod is connected to the first transmission member to move therewith. A pressing rod unit is pivotably coupled to the push rod and includes a coupling sleeve, first and second end pieces coupled to the coupling sleeve, and an adjusting screw rod in threading connection with the second end piece. The first end piece is coupled with a first pivotal member coupled with a door. An end of the adjusting screw rod is located outside of the coupling sleeve and is coupled with a second pivotal member pivotably connected to the push rod. When the adjusting screw rod rotates, the adjusting screw rod moves in an axial direction of the coupling sleeve to change a length of a portion of the adjusting screw rod outside of the coupling sleeve.

  • Patent number: 11828097
    Abstract: A door opener with an anti-loose linking unit includes a driving device and a linking unit disposed between the driving device and the door. The driving device includes a motor and a first transmission member operatively connected to the motor. The linking unit includes a first push rod connected via a connecting screw to the first transmission member, permitting joint pivotal movement. An anti-loose member is non-rotatably mounted on the first push rod. Ahead of the connecting screw is non-rotatably coupled with the anti-loose member. Thus, the connecting screw cannot rotate relative to the first transmission member and the first push rod, reliably preventing the first push rod from disengaging from the first transmission member.

  • Patent number: 11795751
    Abstract: A driving device for a door opener includes a motor driving a first transmission member to rotate. Rotation of the first transmission member causes lateral displacement of a sliding member which moves jointly with a connecting rod. A return spring is mounted around the connecting rod. An adjusting ring is in threading connection with the connecting rod and abuts against the return spring. When the first transmission member does not rotate, rotation of the adjusting ring causes displacement of the adjusting ring in the lateral direction to change an extent of pre-compression of the return spring. When the first transmission member rotates in a direction, the connecting rod and the adjusting ring together move in the lateral direction towards the first transmission member, and the return spring is compressed. When the first transmission member rotates in a reverse direction, and the return spring restores its length.

  • Patent number: 11753848
    Abstract: A door lock with a reinforced fireproof effect includes a lock body mounted on a door and inner and outer operating units mounted to two sides of the door, respectively. The lock body includes inner and outer chassis made of ferrous material or stainless steel having a melting point higher than 1300° C. Inner and outer fixing members coupled with the inner and outer chassis are also made of ferrous material or stainless steel. Thus, these components of the door lock are less likely to melt during a fire, reducing the spreading speed of the fire.

  • Publication number: 20200131801
    Abstract: A latch guiding and coupling device includes a coupling seat having first and second sides. An insertion groove is defined between the first and second sides and extends from a first surface through a second surface of the coupling seat. A recessed portion is formed in the first side and rotatably receives a roller. Each of two ends of the recessed portion has a positioning groove extending to the first surface to form a notch. An axle extends through the roller and includes two ends respectively received in the positioning grooves. A locking plate is mounted to the first surface of the coupling seat. The locking plate includes an opening aligned with the insertion groove and two stopper portions aligned with the positioning grooves. Each stopper portion covers one of the notches to prevent the axle from disengaging from the positioning grooves. The roller protrudes beyond the locking plate.

  • Patent number: 10267063
    Abstract: An electric door lock includes an operating device and a latch device operably connected to the operating device. An inner electronic device, an outer electronic device, and an electric driver are electrically connected by an electrical connecting module. An inner fixing member and an outer fixing member are fixed to a door. The inner fixing member includes an inner groove through which a first cable extends. The outer fixing member includes two first grooves. A second cable selectively extends through one of the two first grooves according to an assembling direction of the door.
