Operating method for the operation of a revolving door
First Claim
1. A method for driving a rotation of a revolving door about a central axis of the revolving door in response to the entry of a user thereinto, the revolving door including the central axis, a plurality of door panels extending radially outward from the central axis, a drive motor for supplying a rotational torque to the revolving door, and a control circuit for controlling the rotational torque supplied to the revolving door by the drive motor, said method comprising the steps of:
- sensing a magnitude of at least one of;
a user applied force applied by the user to at least one of said plurality of door panels; and
a user imparted rotational velocity imparted by the user to said revolving door;
to produce a sensed magnitude of at least one of a user applied force and a user imparted rotational velocity; and
operating said control circuit to cause said drive motor to supply a rotational torque to said revolving door that corresponds to said sensed magnitude of said at least one of said user applied force and said user imparted rotational velocity.
