Abstract

The suspension roller (1) for a sliding door has a central groove (10) forming, on either side, two lateral outwards inclined sides (12). These inclined sides are supported against the side edges of ramps inserted in the suspension rail. The side edges constitute a rolling track for the roller sides. These sides curve outwards to enable the rollers to slide toward the bottom of the ramps. The roller central groove is enclosed by two small planes (11) following the outwards inclined sides.

Description

L'invention se rapporte aux portes étanches coulissantes de chambres froides, acoustiques, salles blanches ou autres et elle concerne plus précisément un dispositif de suspension mettant en oeuvre un jeu de galets de profil particulier coopérant avec un rail profilé.The invention relates to watertight doors sliding cold rooms, acoustics, rooms white or other and it relates more specifically to a suspension device using a set of rollers of particular profile cooperating with a profiled rail.

Ces portes étanches coulissantes sont comme on sait, équipées à leur partie supérieure de chariots à galets grâce auxquels elles sont suspendues à un rail horizontal portant une bande de roulement profilée servant au guidage dudit galet. Pour que l'étanchéité soit assurée lors de la fermeture de la porte, il est habituel de donner au rail à l'endroit voulu, une inflexion à la fois vers le bas mais aussi vers le mur, de telle sorte que les galets suivent cette inflexion et que la porte subisse un mouvement identique de descente et de rapprochement du mur au moment de la fermeture. L'inflexion est généralement réalisée par une simple encoche prévue dans le rail à l'endroit voulu. Quand le galet quitte la bande de roulement, il glisse dans l'encoche.These sliding waterproof doors are as you knows, equipped at their upper part with roller trolleys thanks to which they are suspended from a horizontal rail bearing a profiled tread for guiding of said roller. So that sealing is ensured during closing the door it is usual to give the rail to the place you want, both a downward inflection but also towards the wall, so that the pebbles follow this inflection and that the door undergoes a movement identical lowering and approximation of the wall at the time of the closure. The inflection is generally carried out by a simple notch provided in the rail at the desired location. When the roller leaves the tread, it slides in the notch.

Le frottement généré par ces glissements répétés du galet entraíne son usure rapide, et des irrégularités de son état de surface, ce qui se traduit par un accroissement du jeu de la porte au moment de sa fermeture ainsi que par des vibrations désagréables quand les galets roulent sur le rail.The friction generated by these repeated slips of the roller causes its rapid wear, and irregularities of its surface condition, which results in an increase the play of the door at the time of its closing as well as by unpleasant vibrations when the rollers roll on the rail.

Ces inconvénients ont amené la Demanderesse à un nouveau concept qui permet, avec un chariot fixe et au moyen d'un galet roulant possédant deux pistes de roulement, l'une pour la translation, l'autre pour le placage de la porte, d'assurer le même résultat qu'un chariot articulé, mais à un coût inférieur.These drawbacks have led the Applicant to a new concept which allows, with a fixed trolley and by means a roller with two tracks, one for translation, the other for door veneer, ensure the same result as an articulated cart, but at a lower cost.

Il a donc été mis au point un nouveau dispositif de suspension dans lequel le rail de guidage, les rampes faisant office d'encoche, et les galets eux-mêmes ont un profil particulier et original grâce auquel les glissements de la partie de roulage du galet sont totalement éliminés et l'usure du matériel est très fortement réduite.A new device has therefore been developed suspension in which the guide rail, the ramps acting as a notch, and the rollers themselves have a particular and original profile thanks to which the sliding of the rolling part of the roller are completely eliminated and the wear of the material is very greatly reduced.

L'invention a plus précisément pour objet un dispositif de suspension à galets profilés pour porte étanche coulissante comportant un rail de suspension avec des zones d'inflexion pour que les galets subissent un mouvement de descente et de rapprochement du mur à l'endroit voulu, dispositif selon lequel le galet à gorge centrale dispose de part et d'autre de ladite gorge de deux pans latéraux inclinés vers l'extérieur destinés à venir en appui contre les bords latéraux de rampes intercalées dans le rail de suspension, lesdits bords latéraux constituant une voie de roulement pour les pans latéraux des galets dans la zone des rampes, et les bords latéraux s'infléchissant vers l'huisserie pour permettre aux galets de glisser vers le fond des rampes. Avantageusement la gorge centrale du galet a une forme arrondie correspondant à un arrondi central de la bande de roulement du rail de suspension.The invention more specifically relates to a suspension system with profiled rollers for door waterproof sliding comprising a suspension rail with inflection zones so that the rollers undergo a downward movement and bringing the wall upside down desired, device according to which the central grooved roller has on both sides of said groove two sides lateral inclined towards the outside intended to come to rest against the lateral edges of ramps inserted in the rail of suspension, said lateral edges constituting a track bearing for the side panels of the rollers in the area ramps, and the side edges bending towards the door frame to allow the rollers to slide towards the bottom of the ramps. Advantageously the central groove of the roller has a rounded shape corresponding to a central rounding of the tread of the suspension rail.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention la gorge centrale du galet est encadrée par deux petits méplats, suivis des deux pans latéraux inclinés vers l'extérieur.According to a particular characteristic of the invention the central groove of the roller is framed by two small flats, followed by the two lateral sides inclined towards outside.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique particulière de l'invention, les rampes ont la forme d'auges dont le fond est en contre-bas du sommet de l'arrondi du rail de suspension et dont les bords latéraux sont inclinés par rapport à l'horizontale d'un angle égal à l'inclinaison des pans extérieurs du galet.According to yet another characteristic particular of the invention, the ramps have the shape of troughs whose bottom is below the top of the rounding of the suspension rail and whose side edges are inclined with respect to the horizontal of an angle equal to the inclination outer sections of the roller.

D'autres caractéristiques particulières et avantages de l'invention apparaitront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre d'un exemple de réalisation dans lequel il est fait référence aux dessins annexés qui représentent :

  • figure 1, une vue en perspective partiellement éclatée du dispositif de suspension,
  • figure 2, une vue en coupe à plus grande échelle du galet profilé, et
  • figure 3, une vue schématique en coupe à plus grande échelle du galet et du rail.
    • Other particular characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment in which reference is made to the appended drawings which represent:
  • FIG. 1, a partially exploded perspective view of the suspension device,
  • FIG. 2, a section view on a larger scale of the profiled roller, and
  • Figure 3, a schematic sectional view on a larger scale of the roller and the rail.

    • On voit à la figure 1 que le rail de suspension 2 est profilé, sa bande de roulement étant constituée d'un arrondi central 3 encadré de deux plages planes 4. Sur ce rail roulent des galets désignés dans leur ensemble par la référence 1 dont la forme apparaít plus clairement à la figure 2. La partie externe du galet présente une gorge centrale 10 qui a une forme arrondie correspondant bien entendu à l'arrondi 3 du rail. La gorge centrale est encadrée par deux petits méplats 11 suivis de deux pans latéraux 12 inclinés vers l'extérieur. La chambre interne 13 du galet renferme deux roulements à billes 14 montés sur l'axe 15 et bloqués par une rondelle 16. L'axe 15 traverse un flasque intérieur 17, l'étanchéité étant assurée par une bague 18. Un flasque extérieur 19 ferme la chambre interne du galet.We see in Figure 1 that the suspension rail 2 is profiled, its tread consisting of a central rounded 3 framed by two flat areas 4. On this rail roll rollers designated as a whole by the reference 1, the shape of which appears more clearly at the figure 2. The external part of the roller has a groove central 10 which has a rounded shape corresponding well heard on the flare 3 of the rail. The central throat is framed by two small flats 11 followed by two sides lateral 12 inclined outwards. The internal chamber 13 roller contains two ball bearings 14 mounted on axis 15 and blocked by a washer 16. Axis 15 crosses an inner flange 17, the seal being provided by a ring 18. An outer flange 19 closes the internal chamber pebble.

    Un chariot désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 5 est accroché à l'axe 15 du galet 1. Il se compose d'une potence verticale 6 et d'un corps principal 7 de chariot, de forme générale parallélipipédique qui se trouve sous le rail de suspension 2. Une porte étanche non représentée est fixée au corps du chariot grâce aux ouvertures 8 par un jeu de fixation classique à vis-écrou. On a monté sur le sommet du corps 7 du chariot, un talon 9 formant butée, qui est un peu à l'écart de la potence 6.A cart designated as a whole by the reference 5 is attached to the axis 15 of the roller 1. It is consists of a vertical stem 6 and a main body 7 trolley, generally rectangular in shape which located under the suspension rail 2. A watertight door not shown is fixed to the body of the carriage thanks to openings 8 by a classic screw-nut fixing set. We mounted on the top of the body 7 of the carriage, a heel 9 forming a stop, which is a little away from the stem 6.

    Une lèvre verticale 20 du rail profilé 2, prévue à sa partie inférieure s'étend longitudinalement entre la butée 9 du chariot et sa potence de suspension. Elle évite au chariot d'échapper ainsi au rail de suspension.A vertical lip 20 of the profile rail 2, provided at its lower part extends longitudinally between the stop 9 of the carriage and its suspension bracket. She avoids the carriage thus escapes from the suspension rail.

    Une zone du rail de suspension 2, à proximité de l'ouverture du mur, est fixée à l'huisserie par l'intermédiaire d'un support central 21 et à ce niveau la partie supérieure de la bande de roulement est interrompue et remplacée par une rampe centrale 22 fixée audit support. Ladite rampe a la forme d'une auge dont le fond 23 est en contre-bas du sommet de l'arrondi 3 de la bande de roulement, et dont les bords latéraux internes (24a, 24b) sont inclinés par rapport à l'horizontale d'un angle égal à l'inclinaison des pans 12 du galet 1. On remarquera que ces bords latéraux (24a, 24b) s'infléchissent vers l'extérieur, à partir de la coupure du rail 2, et cela jusqu'au milieu de la rampe, pour revenir de façon symétrique vers l'autre section du rail.An area of the suspension rail 2, near the opening of the wall is fixed to the frame by through a central support 21 and at this level the upper part of the tread is broken and replaced by a central ramp 22 fixed to said support. Said ramp has the shape of a trough whose bottom 23 is in below the top of the flare 3 of the strip of bearing, and whose internal lateral edges (24a, 24b) are inclined to the horizontal by an angle equal to the inclination of the sides 12 of the roller 1. It will be noted that these lateral edges (24a, 24b) bend outwards, from the cut of rail 2, and this until the middle of the ramp, to return symmetrically towards the other rail section.

    Enfin un cache 25 s'adapte sous le rail 2 pour en occulter l'échancrure.Finally a cover 25 fits under the rail 2 to occult the notch.

    L'extrémité du rail (à droite sur la figure 1) est fixée au mur par l'intermédiaire d'un support d'extrémité 26 analogue au support central 21, mais équipé à sa partie inférieure d'un butée de fermeture 27 en élastomère.The end of the rail (on the right in figure 1) is fixed to the wall by means of an end support 26 similar to central support 21, but partly equipped bottom of an elastomer closure stop 27.

    Une rampe d'extrémité 28 est rapportée sur le rail au niveau de ce support d'extrémité 26 de la même façon que la rampe centrale 22 au niveau du support 21. La rampe d'extrémité 28 a le même profil que celui de la rampe centrale mais avec une seule inflexion de ses bords latéraux 24.An end ramp 28 is attached to the rail at this end support 26 in the same way as the central ramp 22 at the level of the support 21. The ramp end 28 has the same profile as that of the ramp central but with only one inflection of its lateral edges 24.

    En se référant également à la figure 3, on décrit maintenant le fonctionnement du dispositif de suspension.Referring also to FIG. 3, we describe maintaining the operation of the suspension device.

    Quand la porte est le long du mur et laisse l'ouverture (à droite sur la figure 1) dégagée, le chariot gauche 5 occupe la position représentée, l'autre chariot droit non représenté étant situé au delà de la rampe centrale 22. Les deux galets de suspension sont donc aptes à rouler sans frottement sur la bande de roulement du rail profilé 1, grâce à la gorge centrale 10 du galet portant sur l'arrondi 3 du rail. Le galet est en position haute illustrée en traits pleins à la figure 3. On peut donc aisément déplacer la porte en direction de la position de fermeture. Les deux galets abordent alors simultanément la rampe centrale 22 et la rampe d'extrémité 28. A l'extrémité de la section arrondie 3 et interrompue de la voie de roulement, ce n'est plus la partie roulante du galet qui agit mais ses pans latéraux 12 qui viennent en appui sur les bords latéraux 24 de chacune des rampes. Le déplacement se poursuit et les galets échappent à l'arrondi de la voie de roulement.When the door is along the wall and leaves the opening (on the right in figure 1) cleared, the carriage left 5 occupies the position shown, the other carriage not shown right being located beyond the ramp central 22. The two suspension rollers are therefore suitable for rolling without friction on the rail tread profile 1, thanks to the central groove 10 of the roller bearing on the rounding 3 of the rail. The roller is in the high position illustrated in solid lines in Figure 3. We can therefore easily move the door towards the position of closing. The two rollers then simultaneously approach the central ramp 22 and the end ramp 28. At the end of the rounded and interrupted section 3 of the track bearing, it is no longer the rolling part of the roller which acts but its side panels 12 which bear on the lateral edges 24 of each of the ramps. The displacement is continues and the pebbles escape the rounding of the track rolling.

    Dans cette zone les galets sont donc en appui seulement par l'intermédiaire d'un de leurs pans latéraux 12, sur le bord latéral correspondant 24 qui constitue leur voie de roulement et leur face de glissement. Du fait de l'inflexion de ce bord latéral 24 de la rampe, du coté opposé au mur, le pan latéral 12 correspondant, de chaque galet, va glisser sur ladite rampe ce qui aura pour effet à la fois de faire descendre le galet, et donc la porte, mais aussi de déplacer les chariots supports 5 en direction du mur et de plaquer ainsi la porte contre l'ouverture. Les méplats 11 peuvent éventuellement venir en appui sur le fond 23 de la rampe.In this area the rollers are therefore in support only through one of their side panels 12, on the corresponding lateral edge 24 which constitutes their track and their sliding face. Because of the inflection of this lateral edge 24 of the ramp, on the side opposite the wall, the corresponding side panel 12, of each roller, will slide on said ramp which will have the effect of both to bring down the roller, and therefore the door, but also to move the support carriages 5 towards the wall and press the door against the opening. The flats 11 can possibly come to rest on the bottom 23 of the ramp.

    Le galet occupe alors une position basse représentée en pointillés sur la figure 3. On y voit la rampe centrale et la face opposée à la face de glissement, qui constitue la face de décollement du galet.The roller then occupies a low position shown in dotted lines in Figure 3. We see the central ramp and the face opposite to the sliding face, which constitutes the peeling face of the roller.

    On notera qu'un seul bord latéral interne 24 de chaque rampe a une action sur un seul pan latéral incliné 12 du galet. On a réalisé chaque rampe avec deux bords latéraux 24 ce qui permet aux rampes de fonctionner pour toute configuration de montage du disposisif. Cette opération de glissement du galet est supportée uniquement par la zone externe que constitue son pan latéral incliné 12. L'usure éventuelle de cette partie extérieure du galet est sans aucune incidence sur la gorge centrale arrondie 10 dont les qualités de roulement restent intactes après de nombreuses manoeuvres répétées d'ouverture et de fermeture de porte.Note that only one internal lateral edge 24 of each ramp acts on a single inclined side panel 12 pebble. We made each ramp with two side edges 24 which allows the ramps to work for any configuration of device mounting. This operation of roller sliding is only supported by the area external component of its inclined side panel 12. Wear possible of this outer part of the roller is without no effect on the rounded central groove 10 whose ride qualities remain intact after many repeated door opening and closing operations.

    Les butées ouverture et fermeture 27 sont destinées à stopper la porte. Elle évitent également, en cas de chocs violents de faire rebondir la porte.The opening and closing stops 27 are designed to stop the door. They also avoid, in case banging hard to bounce the door.

    On trouve sur la partie basse du rail un talon de sécurité 20 pouvant s'appuyer sur un autre talon 9 solidaire du chariot 5. Ils sont destinés à empêcher la porte de dérailler en cas de choc dans cette dernière.There is on the lower part of the rail a heel of safety 20 can be supported on another heel 9 secured carriage 5. They are intended to prevent the door from derail in the event of an impact in the latter.

    En variante de réalisation non représentée et sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, le galet 1 pourrait avoir une forme différente de celle illustrée aux figures dès l'instant où il dispose d'une face de roulement normal et d'une face inclinée pour le glissement.As an alternative embodiment not shown and without departing from the scope of the invention, the roller 1 could have a shape different from that illustrated in the figures from the instant it has a normal rolling face and an inclined face for sliding.
