The present invention belongs to automatic door technical field, in particular to an animal rolling door.
We usually keep animals like poultry, livestock and so on indoors such as barns, fences or special cages. However, animals cannot be kept in a closed space all the time. For their health, the door needs to be opened frequently or regularly to allow them to move freely in an open space. When the breeder works out or cannot perform this work because of travelling, a safe device that can automatically perform operations on behalf of the breeder is needed.
Typical self-actuating safe devices on the market at present are automatic or motorized doors. Although the automatic door capable of opening or closing automatically, it is not always reliable just by electric driving work. For example, animals will be stuck indoors for long periods of time when the electric mechanism cannot drive the automatic door opening and closing due to battery exhausted or circuit failure.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an animal rolling door which capable of opening or closing the animal rolling door manually when battery exhausted or circuit failed, thereby improve the reliability and the convenience of use of the animal rolling door.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical resolutions: proving an animal rolling door which comprises a door frame, a rolling door body, a shell with inner cavity arranged on the top of door frame and a driving mechanism arranged in the shell, which is used to drive the rolling door body to do lifting movement along with the door frame. The driving mechanism comprises a supporting frame installed in the shell and a driving motor arranged on the supporting frame, a transmission shaft fixedly connected to the driving motor and an operating handle fixedly connected to the transmission shaft. The transmission is provided with a winding component for winding the rolling door body and an external connecting part used to fixedly connect with the operating handle; the shell is provided with a hole for the external connecting hole to penetrate to outside.
In an embodiment, limit guide rails are arranged on opposite sides of the door frame to limit the moving direction of the rolling door body.
In an embodiment, a fixed component detachable connected to the rolling door body is arranged on the winding component.
In an embodiment, the driving mechanism further comprises a rolling bearing arranged between the gap of the transmission shaft and the inner wall of the hole.
In an embodiment, the animal rolling door further comprises a on-off switch electrically connected to the driving motor, which is configured as a temperature and humidity sensor, a rain sensor, a infrared sensor, a microwave sensor, a wind speed sensor or a voice control sensor.
In an embodiment, the animal rolling door further comprises an alarming component, which comprises an alarming light and/or an alarming speaker, is electrically connected with the on-off switch.
In an embodiment, the animal rolling door further comprising a light sensor, which is electrically connected with the driving motor, is arranged on the external surface of the shell.
In an embodiment, the animal rolling door further comprising a battery in the shell to electrically connect with the driving motor and a solar panel to electrically connect with the battery.
In an embodiment, luminous components are arranged on the both sides of the door frame along with height direction of the door frame.
In an embodiment, the surface of the door frame is recessed inward to form an installation groove for installing the luminous components; the front side of the installation groove is provided with an opening towards to the outside; the luminous components are arranged in the installation groove and exposed to the outside through the opening.
The beneficial effect of an animal rolling door provided by the present invention is that, compared with prior art, the animal rolling door of the present invention comprises a door frame; a rolling door body; a shell with inner cavity arranged on the door frame; a driving mechanism arranged in the shell and used to drive the rolling door body to do lifting movement along with the door frame, which comprises a supporting frame installed in the shell; and a driving motor arranged on the supporting frame; a transmission shaft fixedly connected to the driving motor; and an operating handle fixedly connected to the transmission shaft; the transmission shaft is provided with a winding component used to wind the rolling door body and an external connecting part used to fixedly connect the operating handle; the shell is provided with a hole for the external connecting part to penetrate to outside. The driving motor is installed in the default position in the shell by the supporting frame of the driving mechanism; the winding component of the transmission shaft is fixedly connected to the rolling door body; the driving motor is used to drive the transmission shaft to rotate and drive the rolling door body to automatically rewind or unwind, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically opening or closing the animal rolling door. At the same time, the external connecting part of the transmission shaft is set through the hole on the shell and is fixedly connected to the operating handle. When the battery exhausted or circuit failed of the driving motor, the operating handle is used to drive manually by the breeder to dive the transmission shaft to rotate, thereby driving the rolling door body to rewind or unwind, and achieving the purpose of opening and closing the animal rolling door manually. Therefore, the present invention capable of automatically opening or closing the animal rolling door when the power supply is normal, while the battery exhausted or the circuit failed, the animal rolling door can also be opened or closed manually, which greatly improves the reliability and convenience of use of the animal rolling door.
