The present invention relates to the field of doors, and more particularly, to a double sliding-plug door system.
A double sliding-plug door system used currently, which is generally a motor-driven screw stem, drives a nut assembly disposed on the screw stem to reciprocate, thereby driving a door leaf connected with the nut assembly. Generally speaking, the double sliding-plug door system is mostly applied to the field of public transportation vehicle doors like rail transit, and buses, and also has locking and unlocking functions. The double sliding-plug door system, which is generally applied to the above-mentioned fields, locks the nut assembly by an electromagnetic lock, thereby realizing the function of locking the door. For this type of double sliding-plug door system, the electromagnetic lock must be energized at any time to ensure the door locking stability. If the electromagnetic lock is de-energized, there is a risk when the door is automatically unlocked. However, most of the structures of locking the door by a mechanical lock in the prior art have the problem of complicated structures. As a system mainly composed of mechanical structures, complicated structures will bring problems such as poor reliability, big dead weight, and difficulty in control, and will threaten the personal safe of passengers especially when being applied to public transportation.

In this angle range, the guide locking piece can apply an acting force to the follow-up member without causing the problem of locking the follow-up member due to excessive angle. The angle is 3 degrees preferably.
Further, a slide rail for moving the follow-up member is further provided, the slide rail is connected with the guide locking piece and is in smooth transition with the upper surface of the guide locking piece. The slide rail is arranged to move the follow-up member under the restriction of the slide rail, which can further increase the movement stationarity of the nut assembly.

The double sliding-plug door system of the present invention can be divided into the following motion processes and states:
1. Electrically locking the door: the controller sends a signal to the motor 1 to cause the motor 1 to drive the screw rod 2 to rotate, and the screw rod 2 drives the follow-up member 7 to move axially along the screw rod 2 to the limiting mechanism 4 through the nut assembly 3; when the follow-up member 7 is contacted with the guide locking piece 51, the follow-up member moves to the limiting plate 13 under the guiding of the upper surface of the guide locking piece 51 and is blocked by the limiting plate 13. The follow-up member 7 rotates with the screw rod 2 into the space between the side plane of the guide locking piece 51 and the limiting plate 13 and is locked. In the process, the limiting plate 13 rotates to trigger the signal switch 15 arranged under the limiting plate. After the signal switch 15 sends an in-position signal to the controller, the controller controls the motor 1 to stop rotating and complete locking the door. At this moment, the limiting plate 13 is blocked at the front of the free end of the guide limiting rod 42. When the linkage mechanism fails, since the door of the active sleeve assembly 6 has been locked by the guide locking piece, the door will not be easily unlocked. If there is no guide limiting rod 42, the door on the side of the driven sleeve assembly 61 can be manually unlocked and the entire beam can be driven to perform a sliding-plug action. The sliding-plug action is blocked since the guide limiting rod 42 is arranged; therefore, one side door of the driven sleeve assembly 61 cannot be unlocked even if it is manually pulled.
2. Electrically unlocking the door: the controller sends a signal to the motor 1 to cause the motor 1 to drive the screw rod 2 to rotate reversely, and the follow-up member 7 reversely rotates with the screw rod 2 to disengage from the limitation of the guide locking piece 51 and is unlocked, and disengaged from the limiting plate 13. The limiting plate 13 is returned under the action of the torsion spring to release the blocking on the guide limiting rod 42 and trigger the signal switch 15 to send an unlocking signal to the controller, then the limiting member moves axially along the screw rod 2. When the follow-up member 7 moves to the other end of the screw rod 2, the motor 1 stops running and the door is unlocked. At this moment, the guide limiting rod 42 is above the limiting plate 13 and can limit the reverse rotation of the limiting plate 13 to avoid accidentally triggering the signal switch.
3. Manually locking the door: the active sleeve assembly 6 is manually driven to move the nut assembly 3 axially from the screw rod 2 to the limiting mechanism 4. At this moment, the screw rod 2 rotates passively. When the follow-up member 7 is contacted with the guide locking piece 51, the follow-up member moves to the limiting plate 13 under the guiding of the upper surface of the guide locking piece 51 and is blocked by the limiting plate 13. The follow-up member 7 rotates with the screw rod 2 into the space between the side plane of the guide locking piece 51 and the limiting plate 13 and is locked. During this process, the limiting plate 13 rotates to trigger the signal switch 15 arranged under the limiting plate. After the signal switch 15 sends an in-position signal to the controller, the controller controls the motor 1 to stop running and complete locking the door.
4. Manually unlocking the door: when the two side doors are in a locked state, by rotating the unlocking switch, the manual pulling rope 8 pulls the movable bracket 17 to rotate clockwise around the pin shaft 14, and the poking block 21 of the movable bracket 17 pokes the follow-up member 7 from the lower portion to make the follow-up member 7 leave the locking position, and meanwhile, the torsion spring drives limiting plate 13 to rotate clockwise around the pin shaft 14 and triggers the signal switch 15. After the unlocking switch is released, the movable bracket 17 is driven by the return spring to rotate to the initial position, and then the active sleeve assembly 6 is manually driven to move the nut assembly 3 axially from the screw shaft 2 towards a direction away from the limiting mechanism 4 to realize manual unlocking the door.
The descriptions above are merely preferable embodiments of the invention, and it should be noted that those of ordinary skills in the art may make a plurality of improvements and decorations without departing from the principle of the invention, and these improvements and decorations shall also fall within the protection scope of the invention.
