Classification of automatic doors and key points for collocation and installation of revolving doors

Theoretically understood, automatic doors should be an extension of the concept of doors, and they are the development and improvement of door functions based on human needs. The automatic door has developed very maturely. The automatic door refers to a control unit that can recognize the action of a person approaching the door (or some kind of entry authorization) as a door opening signal, open the door through the drive system, and then automatically close the door after the person leaves. and a system that controls the opening and closing processes.

According to the opening and closing method, it can be divided into sliding doors, swing doors, folding doors and revolving doors. Sliding doors can be subdivided into single opening, double opening, overlapping single opening, overlapping double opening and curved doors. When the arc door leaf moves smoothly along the arc track, it can be divided into half arc one-way, half arc two-way, and full arc two-way. In order to maximize the flow of people, some sliding automatic doors can be made to open manually after the opening end point coincides with the fixed door leaf, thereby achieving the maximum entrance and exit width. Revolving doors can be subdivided into central axis revolving doors, round guide rail suspended revolving doors and center display area revolving doors. Swing doors can be subdivided into single-leaf one-way, double-leaf one-way, single-leaf two-way, and double-leaf two-way. Folding doors can also be subdivided into two-leaf folding and four-leaf folding.

According to the door material, it can be divided into:

Safety glass (tempered glass, wired glass, laminated glass, titanized glass) revolving door, stainless steel facing revolving door, architectural aluminum Alloy profiles, color-coated steel plates, wood, etc. You can also use other suitable door materials such as copper.

To achieve the perfect decoration effect of the revolving door, its installation and matching is a knowledge that cannot be ignored. Let’s take a look at the experience and suggestions for installation and matching of revolving doors.

Select according to the architectural style and door area size

When designing specific requirements, conventional sizes should be used in the design of revolving doors.Mainly to save production and manufacturing costs and reduce overall construction costs. Crystal revolving doors can be used in places where the exterior walls of the building are mainly made of transparent glass curtain walls, but attention should be paid to whether the rain cover design in the door area is reasonable, and whether the moisture-proof and waterproof design complies with the installation specifications of crystal revolving doors.

Select according to the size of the passenger flow

For places with a large flow of people such as shopping malls, double-wing rotating automatic doors should be selected as much as possible, so that during peak passenger flow periods, The sliding door in the middle of the revolving door facilitates pedestrians to pass quickly and avoids crowding at the door. On the contrary, for some places with small passenger flow, such as high-end clubs, hotels, etc., you can choose three-wing or four-wing revolving doors.
