Abstract

A telescopic mechanism and corresponding method for opening and closing sliding doors which allows obtaining a dimensional gain equal to the diameter of the pulleys including an intelligent control board, a motor, a system of pulley and belt linear guides which connect the panel A to Panel B, a lever system, arms, rotary union, shaft of rotation, which originate movements of extension and compression of a sliding structure comprising a chassis, Panel A and Panel B. The belt and pulley system includes a belt, a brake, wheels movable pulleys fixed to the chassis and static pulleys.

Claims (14)

1. A telescopic mechanism for opening and closing of doors comprising:

an intelligent control board configured to receive commands;

a belt and a pulley system comprising a belt, a brake, wheels movable pulleys fixed to a chassis and to static pulleys;

an electric motor controlled by the intelligent control board, the electric motor configured to drive the belt and pulley system;

a first panel and a second panel, the first panel and the second panel connected via linear guides that are configured to allow the first panel and the second panel to slide along an axis; and

a lever system having arms that synchronize the movement of the first panel and the second panel, the lever system configured to move along an axis of rotation;

wherein the arms of the lever system originate movements of extension and compression of a sliding structure comprising the first panel and the second panel.

2. The telescopic mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the electric motor turns rotary motion into linear motion through the pulleys, the static pulleys, the belt and the first panel.

3. The telescopic mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the belt has ends fixed to the brake which are integral with the chassis and cause movement of the wheels to be united and fixed to the first panel which is mobile and is fixed to the linear guides;

wherein the wheels are rotated by the belt, and

wherein the static pulleys do not rotate by the belt and are fixed to the chassis.

4. The telescopic mechanism of claim 1 wherein the first panel and is connected to the second panel via the lever system and the arms.

5. The telescopic mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the first panel when extending moves the axis of rotation of the lever and transmits this motion to the second panel through the arms supported in rotary union.

6. The telescopic mechanism of for opening and closing doom according to claim 1 , wherein the movement of the first panel with respect to the second panel is equal to the distance between the static pulleys, whereby a dimensional gain equal to a diameter of the static pulleys is achieved by the movement of opening and closing of the first panel with respect to the second panel.
