SIMULATION OF DOOR MOVEMENT WITH A CLOSING MECHANISM
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The work objective is to determine the parameters of the closing mechanism that provide the specified characteristics of the door movement. Research method: computer simulation of the movement of a door with a lock mechanism as a multi-mass dynamic system, taking into account the mechanical characteristics and contact interaction of the lock mechanism. Research results and novelty. Computer dynamic models of a door with a door closer and a door with a spring have been developed. The moments of the door opening force, the closing time of the door, the angular velocity of the door at the time of impact with the frame are considered as the criteria for the quality of the door closing mechanism. Formulas are obtained that determine the permissible values of stiffness and deformation of the door closer spring according to the specified moments of the door opening force. The movement of doors with a door closer and with a spring is compared. The parameters of the closing mechanism providing the specified characteristics of the door movement of the considered example are determined. It is shown that with the same values of the opening force moments, the speed of impact with the frame in the case of the door closer is less than the door with a spring. Conclusions: The developed computer dynamic models of a door with a door closer and a door with a spring make it possible to determine the characteristics of the door movement taking into account the inertial and mechanical characteristics of the door closer and spring mechanisms. The permissible values of stiffness and deformation of the door closer spring can be determined by the specified moments of the door opening force in two positions. It is established that the forces of air resistance and friction in the hinges of the door cannot create the moment of resistance necessary for smooth closing of the door without a strong impact on the frame with a limited closing time. The quality criteria that minimize the closing time and the speed of impact of the door with the frame are contradictory. The choice of optimal parameters of the door closing mechanism is possible if one of the criteria is replaced by a restriction. The developed formulas and computer models are recommended for use in the design of devices that restrict the movement of doors.
