A method for determining the tension of a drive belt, wherein the drive belt is provided for transmission of a torque generated by a drive unit to a load, for example, a door leaf of a door system includes a first process step a., the load is moved from a moving state into a rest state. In a following process step b., the motor voltage is recorded during execution of process step a. and the time-resolved motor voltage curve is prepared. In step c., the motor current is determined from the recorded motor voltage or the motor voltage curve and a time-resolved motor current curve is prepared. In a last step d., the time-resolved motor current curve is evaluated and the tension of the drive belt is determined by means of selected curve features of the motor current curve.

The disclosure relates to a corner bracket (14, 16) for a vertical moving door (2), the corner bracket (14, 16) comprising: a base plate (32) configured to be attached to the door (2); and a guide path (34) for a lift cable (4, 6) arranged in the base plate (32). A switch (28) is arranged in the base plate (32) and configured to be actuated by the lift cable (4, 6) in the event of a breakage of the lift cable (4, 6). The disclosure further relates to a method, performed by a control device (200), for stopping a vertical moving door (2) of a vertical moving door system (100), the vertical moving door system (100).

A safety switch includes a detection unit, an output unit, an input unit; and a display unit. The detection unit is configured to detect presence or absence of abnormality. The output unit is configured to output an abnormality detection signal indicating a detection result of the presence or absence of the abnormality. The input unit is configured to input a display control signal. The display unit is configured to perform display based on the display control signal.

A cinching system includes: a profile configured to determine a first time series of target values for cinching a closure closed; an adjustment module configured to determine an adjustment value based on at least one operating parameter; an adjusting module configured to generate a second time series of target values for cinching of the closure by adjusting at least one of the target values of the first time series based on the adjustment value; and a power control module configured to: apply power to a cinching motor when the closure is partially closed, where the cinching motor is configured to cinch and fully close the closure; and based on a comparison of a measured value of the cinching motor and one of the target values of the second time series, selectively one of: decrease power applied to the cinching motor; and disconnect the cinching motor from power.

A vehicle tailgate assembly includes a tailgate and a switch assembly operably connected to the tailgate. The switch assembly includes a switch structured to be actuatable by application of a load exceeding a predetermined threshold to the tailgate. The switch assembly is operably connected to a tailgate automatic opening/closing mechanism such that actuation of the switch controls operation of the mechanism to prevent execution of a command to automatically open the tailgate when the tailgate is in a fully closed condition.

A refrigerator includes: a main body including a storage area; an inner door including a door storage space, the inner door being rotatably coupled with the main body; an outer door; and a hinge rotatably coupling the outer door with the inner door, the hinge including a hinge bracket that includes a fixing plate coupled with the inner door, and a hinge shaft on which the outer door is rotatable, wherein the inner door further includes a front plate forming a front surface of the inner door, and an upper cap coupled with an upper end of the front plate, wherein the front plate includes a through hole, and wherein the hinge bracket penetrates the through hole such that the fixing plate is coupled with the upper cap.

The present invention relates to a door operator with an abnormal voltage protection function and a method for abnormal voltage protection of a door operator. According to the present invention, before a door operator motor is electrically energized by an external power source, a controller determines whether the external power source meets the rated voltage of the door operator. In the case that the external power source meets the rated voltage, the controller activates the door operator motor; in the case that the external power source does not meet the rated voltage, the door operator motor is deactivated, and the controller issues a warning.

Access control for an autonomous vehicle through a door in a doorway. A magnet is attached to the autonomous vehicle and a magnetometer is located some distance from the doorway. The magnetometer outputs a magnetometer signal in response to detecting the magnet, which causes the transmitter to transmit a detection signal. A doorway device is fixed about the doorway, and includes a receiver, and a locking mechanism with a locking pin. The doorway device retracts the pin to unlock the door for a predetermined period of time in response to receipt of the detection signal, and extents the pin to lock the door after the predetermined period of time ends.
