Garage door

The main types of garage doors are:

  • ( - Can also be used in the underground parking area as a gateway for the parking box bottom edge of the door swinging in a circular path led through two lever arms, upper door edge moves essentially in one plane only ) over door or garage door
  • Sectional (as Overhead or Side sliding ). The door leaf consists of several different sections that are moved out in each case with rollers in rails to the ceiling or to the side.
  • Garage door does not swing out one-piece gate ( driven with two vertical and two horizontal rails above)
  • Swing gate / Swing gate ( as a one or two-wing door )

Electric garage door opener

As a garage door opener is called a driven by an electric motor device to open garage doors and close.

The drive means serve as a rule drive chains, toothed belt or drive screws (so-called spindle drives ). About this drive means a carriage ( the guide carriage ) is then moved via a metal piece ( guide rail ) is connected to the gate. In the drive housing a circuit board, a transformer and an electric motor are housed in the control. Upon actuation of the motor rotates a drive wheel or sprocket, and moves the carriage in the guide rail forward or backward. To disable the limit positions to serve open / close door limit switch or electronic disconnecting devices. These pulses are counted between the end and reach those off accordingly. Mainly DC motors are used, since a smooth acceleration and deceleration of the garage door is made ​​possible by the simpler electronic control. In a similar system the engine is mounted in the carriage and moves along a single track tensioned chain. The power supply to the engine is via the drive chain and guide rail with sliding contacts, similar to a model railway. The garage door is triggered via radio ( transmitter ) or a floating contact via a key switch, a code lock or wall switch.

Garage doors, solar-powered

If the garage does not have a home network connection can be automatically opened with a special garage door opener with battery operation the gate.

This garage door operator, also called solar-powered, drawing its power from a rechargeable battery in the garage. It is especially designed to reduce electricity consumption. The battery is charged via a located on the roof of the garage solar collector.

Alternatively, the accumulator may also be dissolved via a plug connection to the actuator. The battery can then be loaded in the house with a charger for power supply if necessary.
