Abstract
The present application provides a touch-free door driving device initiated upon the affirmative action or command of a user. More specifically, a user a door driving device is provided which can open the door when the user is at a distant location and is approaching the door. This apparatus can be easily installed on either side of the door which is user friendly and easy installation with minimal steps such as anyone can install it at any door of any room. Additionally, in spite of the door thickness, the apparatus can be installed without drilling or using any sort of tool. Preferably, the door driving device is provided with sufficient pull and push torque without any stoppage.
Claims10
A touch free door opening apparatus for mounting on a door, comprising:
- a door driving device configured to be attached to the door with constant contact with the floor surface, comprising:
- a door retaining mechanism for automatically attaching the door driving device to the door;
- a door release mechanism for automatically detaching the door driving device from the door;
- at least two sensors, wherein a first sensor for detecting the presence of a person in or near the door, and a second sensor;
- a controller configured to control the door driving device for opening and closing the door;
- a wireless communication means for connecting the door driving device with an authentication device or access control system;

- a door driving device configured to be attached to the edge of the door comprising:
- a door retaining mechanism for automatically attaching the door driving device to the door;
- a door release mechanism for automatically detaching the door driving device from the door;
- a roller wheel actuator mechanism having a first wheel and a first motor attached to the first wheel for rotating the first roller wheel;
- a vertical actuator comprising a second motor, for positioning the roller wheel actuator mechanism against and away from a surface located by the edge of the door;
- at least a first sensor and an image capturing unit;
- and
- a controller configured to control the door driving device for opening and closing the door;
- and
- an authentication device in communication with the image capturing unit for identifying and verifying at least one human face by comparing and analyzing a plurality of captured frames based on at least one human face feature;
- wherein the first sensor is configured to detect the presence of a person or object in or near the door;
- and
- an indicating device for providing an indication that the device is operative.
