Flip up garage door 1

[@fertegli]

I built one like this about 2 years ago. It was quite difficult, this video would have been useful. Thanks you for sharing. 😀

[@thabob1267]

How did you calculate the pivots.

[@fertegli]

Hello@@thabob1267. I set up two equations. In the first, distance between the middle point and the joint, with the gate closed. In the second, similar but with the gate open. I solved and calculated the length of the pivot. I hope this help you.

[@thabob1267]

Thanks for that, I'm still stuck though. I dont know how exaclty the equations should look like. I think that there should be a general equation with the onky changing variable being the height.

Where did you purchase the hardware?

[@fertegli]

@@gonavy5607 I bought structural pipes and flat bars, and with that, I built everything. I live in Argentina, and there are stores that sell those kinds of materials.

i love you, thang.

Wow, that is so elegant. At first I wondered about the stress on the link arm, but it merely guides the door until it reaches the horizontal plane. The link arm is loaded under compression to hold the door flat, with most of the weight supported by the lifting assembly. I wonder why the “old-school” spring types used the complex 4-bar linkage? I guess linear motion was too difficult back then. Very nice!

Great.... That's nice. I would like like to know... What the proportion about the Axis pin on the wall and the pin for the arm? Example for a door with 2 meters of height or 2,5 meters what the rules to identify the pin Axis position? Thank so much and congratulations for job.

Please use CAD files of the video to get the door dimensions. Links for the CAD files are in the video description.

@@thang010146 thank so much

[@jorgetrueba85_2]

You make such great mechanisms. Congratulations 🙂☺

[@piriapolice]

Hello friend, I love these mechanisms, I am dedicated to iron work, gates, bars, doors etc, what is the math to calculate the folding garage door as in example ???, thank you.

[@thang010146]

It is a slider-crank mechanism, the math of which is shown in any textbook of "Theory of mechanisms". It's rather complicated. So in this video the method "Try and Adjust" is used (adjust the link dimensions to get the desired motion of the mechanism.

@@thang010146 Thank you very much, I was a student of engineering and then of architecture, now I am dedicated to what I said before, I love to build, I will find information about what you told me, thank you very much again.

Great Mister. Best regards from Germany... Lukas

Love this video, keep update Mr. Thang

[@flatlandriver2471]

Nice thing about this type of garage door is that the plane of the garage door can accommodate a regular “man door”. You have designed this so that, on full open, the door is 1/3 on the exterior of the supporting wall and 2/3 on the inside. Would prefer the reverse, or no more than 50% on the inside. Forces on the links and doorframe would be greater though.

[@thang010146]

I am planning to upload the reverse in 5 days.

[@flatlandriver2471]

@@thang010146 excellent! I wonder, have you considered the possibility of making this a bi-fold door, where a cable on the bottom half pivot pin would raise both pieces

[@thang010146]

I don't quite understand your idea. Please explain it using sketches. My email: [e-mail]

[@mikegeralddiys6212]

I try build like but it not working for how do calculate it

[@christianhvidal]

could it be without the front overhang?

[@rooparani5665]

Very successful job but pl show more

[@cosminbota7729]

Nice work !

[@jeetsaini143]

Great sir. 🙏

[@fbombsflyingwrenchesgarage6334]

I would say it could prolly use a third anchor point in the middle. Like a rail with wheels & a pivoting arm.

[@vafl0r]

Can this be convrted to a revit family?

[@thang010146]

I don't use Revit. Search the Internet for how to import Inventor files into Revit.

Are you in the Philippines?

@@thang010146 thanks. I was looking for the garage in Leyte.

[@alekceib7825]

Thank You

[@MuhammadDaudkhanTV100]

So super hit

[@luispela]

Como calculo las medidas de ese movimiento?

[@thang010146]

Use "try and adjust" method in a sketching.

[@davidjones-vx9ju]

50 yr old (at least ) design... but you left out springs or weights or anything else to open it

[@mr.sparshbansal]

I'm also making CAD models on my channel till now I've made Geneva Mechanism and crank mechanism

[@MuhammadDaudkhanTV100]

Cool

[@Shivanipal185]

Very nice

[@juanpabloquinonezj7192]

Magnífico !!!

[@faryajadeh8671]

Nice...👍

[@superkas]

Love it Sir

[@MuhammadDaudkhanTV100]

Awesome

[@3dmodelinghamid238]

Super

[@sergeybabuka1800]

предлагаю доработать : нужен противовес либо пружина . не учтен вес ворот

[@thang010146]

Yes. You are right. Please read the video description.
