Abstract
An automatic door stopping-closing device comprises a cylinder with a connecting rod, one end of which is connected to a door; a bracket assembly on the door frame, comprising a hook connected with the other end of the rod, a movable lug cooperated with the hook, and a pull rod cooperated with the movable lug, wherein the pull rod and the hook can be engaged or disengaged. After the door is opened, the door can be kept open securely through the cooperation between the hook and the movable lug; and the door can be closed automatically by a slight push, through the cooperation between two of the hook, the movable lug and the pull rod. The automatic door stopping-closing device holds the door open without external force after the door is opened, and closes the door automatically after a slight push.
Claims14
An automatic door stopping-closing device, comprising:
- a cylinder adapted to be connected to a door and having an extensible and retractable connecting rod;
- a bracket assembly adapted to be secured to the door frame, and having a hook connected with an end of the connecting rod, a movable lug cooperated with the hook, and a pull rod cooperated with the movable lug, wherein the pull rod and the hook are configured to be separated or connected;
- when the door is opening, the connecting rod drives the hook to move clockwise under an external force, thereby the hook comes in contact with the movable lug and drives the movable lug to rotate counterclockwise;
- when the movable lug rotates to a limit position, the external force is removed;
- then the movable lug will rotate clockwise to a stop position under a first reset force, thereby the hook is locked by the movable lug, and the door is stopped and held open;
- when the door is closing, the connecting rod drives the hook to further move clockwise under the external force, thereby the hook comes in contact with the pull rod and drives the pull rod to slide;
- the pull rod further drives the movable lug to rotate clockwise, thereby the movable lug and the hook are apart from each other and are unlocked;
- after the movable lug and the hook are unlocked, the external force is removed, and then the connecting rod drives the hook to rotate counterclockwise under a door-closing force, making the hook come in contact with the movable lug and further drive the movable lug to rotate clockwise, until the hook and the movable lug are apart from each other;
- after the hook and the movable lug are separated, the hook keeps rotating counterclockwise under the door-closing force, and the movable lug rotates counterclockwise to an initial position under a second reset force;
- and wherein, the first reset force and the second reset force are in opposite directions;
- wherein a torsional spring is configured in the moveable lug, and the first reset force and the second reset force are the reset force of the torsional spring.
A door closer device for controlling closing of a door mounted in a door frame, comprising:
- a cylinder pivotally mounted to the door;
- a bracket fixed to the door frame;
- a connecting rod with a first end in the cylinder and a second end pivotally connected to the bracket, and the connecting rod being extendable and retractable relative to the cylinder;
- a lug pivotally mounted in the bracket;
- the lug being disengaged from the second end of the connecting rod when the door is closed;
- the lug engaging the second end of the connecting rod when the door is opened and thereby hold the door open without an external force;
- a slidable pull rod in the bracket;
- the pull rod being disengaged from the second end of the connecting rod when the door is held open by the lug, and when the door is opened further, the connecting rod engages the pull rod to slide the pull rod such that the pull rod rotates the lug and the lug disengages from the connecting rod, whereby the cylinder and connecting rod will close the door;
- and
- a spring in the bracket to bias the lug between rotated positions.
