The actuator arm is mechanically coupled to the actuator and removably coupled to the door such that the actuator arm opens or closes the door upon actuation of the actuator and the external electrical connection electrically couples to a mobile robotic power delivery device that includes a battery to provide electrical power to the actuator and the controller.
EJECTING DEVICE FOR A FOLDING DOOR
An ejecting device for a folding door is movably arranged on a furniture body. First and second door leaves of the folding door are interconnected in an articulated manner. The ejecting device has an ejecting element for folding open the folding door from a closed position, in which the door leaves are in a common closed plane, into an open position, in which the door leaves form an angle not equal to 180. The ejecting device has a first fitting part for mounting the ejecting device on the first door leaf. The ejecting element can move the second door leaf from the closed position into the open position by a scissor mechanism having at least two scissor levers, and is mounted between the first and second door leaves by an articulated connection formed by an intermediate lever connected in an articulated manner to the first and/or second scissor lever.
DOOR ACTUATOR WITH RETRACTION DEVICE
A vehicle door apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a door configured to be pivotably mounted to a body structure of a vehicle and a door locator mechanism. The door locator mechanism comprises a plunger and a retraction device. The plunger is configured to be actuated between extended and retracted positions. The retraction device is disposed on the plunger and configured to engage the body structure magnetically. The apparatus further comprises a controller configured to withdraw the plunger to the retracted position while activating the retraction device electromagnetically connecting the plunger to the door.
GARMENT PROCESSING DEVICE
A garment processing device door comprises an exposed first compartment, and a second compartment separated by a barrier; a first switch reciprocating inside the second compartment and connecting the door to a first rotation axis; a second switch reciprocating inside the second compartment and connecting the door to a second rotation axis when the door from the first rotation axis; a first body having one end rotatably fixed to the first compartment and another end penetrating the barrier and in the second compartment; a second body fixed to the first body and inside the second compartment, the second body moving the first switch to separate the door from the first rotation axis based on a force to the first body, and the second body moving toward the barrier when the first switch connects the door to the first rotation axis; and a damper between the second body and the barrier.
DRIVE DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE FLAP
The present disclosure relates to a drive device for a movable vehicle flap, including a flap part associated with the vehicle flap, a body part associated with a vehicle body, a first joint arrangement being arranged between the flap part and the body part, including a first knee lever and a second knee lever. The first knee lever and the second knee lever each have at least a first control arm and a second control arm. The drive device further include a second joint arrangement for opening and closing the vehicle flap in a normal operation, at least a first actuator for raising the vehicle flap to a pedestrian protection position. The first actuator has a first connection element and a second connection element. The first connection element of the first actuator is hingedly coupled to the first knee lever of the first joint arrangement. The second connection element of the first actuator is hingedly coupled to the second knee lever of the first joint arrangement. A drive device for a vehicle flap, which is reliable and compact, is provided according to the present disclosure by the first connection element of the first actuator being hingedly coupled to the second control arm of the first knee lever and by the second connection element of the first actuator being hingedly coupled to the first control arm of the second knee lever.
Sliding-door system
A sliding door system includes a door frame and a sliding door leaf that can move relative thereto. A catch is arranged either on the door frame or on the sliding door leaf, which can be coupled to a drive element of a feed device arranged on the respective other component. The feed device has a spring energy store and a cylinder-piston unit. The cylinder-piston unit has a piston that separates a displacement chamber from a compensation chamber. A passage cross-section between the displacement chamber and the compensation chamber can be changed in a load-dependent manner by a piston disk that can be applied at a piston end side. The tension force of the tension spring of a minimal effective length is between 1.5 and 3.5 times the total static friction force of the sliding door leaf and the resistance of the cylinder-piston unit at the maximum passage cross-section.
Overtravel hinge
A vehicle includes a chassis, a door track, a door operatively connected to the door track and adapted to move between a closed position and an open position, and a hinge assembly coupled to the door. The hinge assembly is movably coupled to the door track and includes a first bracket coupled to the door, a second bracket coupled to the first bracket, and a transport assembly coupled to the second bracket and adapted to move along the door track as the door moves between the open and closed positions. The transport assembly includes a coupling member for releasably coupling the second bracket to the transport assembly. Upon movement of the second bracket from the first position to the second position, the door moves to an extended open position with respect to the door track.
Gate Opening Apparatus
A gate opening apparatus includes an external housing, a main chassis, a motor device, a driving rotor, a plurality of guiding rollers, a transmission chain connecting the driving rotor, the guiding rollers and a door gate, and a gate actuating arrangement. The gate actuating arrangement includes a clutching device supported on the main chassis and connected to the motor device, a limit switch assembly coupled to the clutching device, and a control module. The gate opening apparatus is arranged to operate between a power mode and a manual mode. In the power mode, the clutching device is engaged with the driving rotor for driving a movement thereof by the motor device so as to selectively open and close the door gate. In the manual mode, the clutching device is disengaged from the driving rotor so that the driving rotor is adapted for being rotated manually.
Door drive device
A door drive device for adjusting and/or locking a vehicle door relative to a vehicle body including an adjustment member, a drive element operatively coupled to the adjustment member such that the adjustment member is movable with respect to the drive element for moving the vehicle door, a sensor device for measuring a measuring quantity indicative of a movement of the vehicle door to provide a sensor signal, a brake device operatively connected to the drive element for braking a movement of the vehicle door, and a control device for controlling operation of the door drive device. The control device is configured to compute, from the sensor signal obtained from the sensor device, an acceleration value indicative of an acceleration of the vehicle door and evaluate the acceleration value to distinguish movement of the vehicle door caused by a gravity force from movement caused by a user action.
Domestic appliance comprising a differential pressure sensor
A domestic appliance has a carcass, a door for closing an inner space, a differential pressure sensor having a sensor membrane for identifying a difference in pressure between an interior air pressure in the inner space and an exterior air pressure in an outer space, a door opening aid for assisting the door opening process, and a control unit for the door opening aid which is dependent on the detected difference in pressure. The control unit is configured to detect a pressure curve of the difference in pressure and to control the door opening aid depending on the pressure curve that has been detected.
