<p>A hydraulic door opening or closing device comprises a hydraulic fluid pump motor (7) having two ports connected to each end of integral dual manifold (8, 9) and operating cylinder apparatus (10) by way of two branch fluid lines (11, 12). One branch line is fluidly connected to a particular end of the operating cylinder by way of a directional flow valve (17, 18). The other branch line to the same end of the cylinder is fluidly connected to the cylinder by way of an associated manifold (8, 9). Fluid communication with the cylinder through the manifold (8, 9) is accomplished by providing a plurality of valved openings (21-30) linearly disposed along the end of the cylinder between the manifold (8, 9) and the cylinder (10). As a piston (14) of the operating cylinder (10) passes these openings, a door coupled to the piston (14) is automatically slowed as fluid on the drive side of the piston is returned through the openings to the hydraulic fluid pump (7). A simplified control circuit coupled to the device provides three modes of operation, an opening mode, a closing mode and a reversing mode from door opening to door closing.</p> |
