本申请要求于2007年4月17日提交的题为METHOD OFCONTROLLING A MOTORIZED WINDOW TREATMENT的普通转让的临时美国专利申请no.60/923,907和于2008年4月4日提交的题为METHOD OF CONTROLLING A MOTORIZED WINDOWTREATMENT的普通转让的美国专利申请no.12/098,088的优先权。 
技术领域
本发明涉及控制电动窗帘(window treatment)的方法，更具体地说，涉及在电动机过载或低压线路条件期间控制电动滚轴帘的方法。 
背景技术
电动窗帘通常包括柔性织物或用于覆盖窗户以便阻挡或限制日光进入空间并提供隐私的其它装置。电动窗帘可以包括例如滚轴帘、Roman帘、或帐帘。所述电动窗帘包括用于移动窗户前面的织物以控制窗户被织物覆盖的量的电动机驱动。例如，典型的电动滚轴帘包括卷绕到细长滚轴管上的柔性帘织物，所述滚轴管中安装有电子驱动单元。所述电子驱动单元包括诸如直流(DC)电动机等的电动机，其可操作地在用DC电压激励时旋转滚轴管。 
为了提供对滚轴帘的高级控制，所述电子驱动单元包括微处理器或其它处理装置。该微处理器可操作地控制滚轴管的旋转速度，存储全开位置(即打开帘极限)和全闭位置(即关闭帘极限)，以及恢复帘织物的预置位置。微处理器通过对电动机轴的旋转计数来跟踪帘织物的位置并确定帘织物何时已移动到期望的位置。所述微处理器接收来自电子驱动单元中的内部电力供应所供应的DC电压的电力。 
电动机过载条件和低压线路条件可能导致电子驱动单元的内部电力供应的DC电压降到微处理器保持可操作所需的电压电平以下，因此可能导致微处理器复位。例如，如果电子驱动单元正在驱动电动机，但意外地阻止了帘织物移动，则电动机可能突然汲取大量的电流。从电子驱动单元的电力供应汲取的瞬间大电流可能导致DC电压降到规定水平以下并因此导致微处理器复位。如在此所使用的，电动机的过载条件被定义为导致电动机突然汲取大得多量的电流的事件。例如，电动机在正常工作期间可以汲取约800mA至1.5A，而在过载期间约为2A至10A。 
此外，如果内部电力供应接收到的电压降到电源的要求输入电压(即回动(drop-out)电压)以下，则内部电力供应所供应的DC电压可能降到规定水平以下。 
如果微处理器在滚轴帘移动期间复位，则微处理器所维持的位置信息可能变得不准确，这还可能防止微处理器移动帘织物。因此，需要一种控制电动窗帘的方法，其中微处理器可操作地控制电动窗帘而在发生过载条件或低压线路条件时不复位。 
发明内容
在此描述了一种在过载条件期间响应于命令来控制电动窗帘的方法。所述电动窗帘包括由总线电压选择性地驱动的电动机。该方法包括步骤：(1)响应于所述命令而驱动电动机；(2)监视总线电压的幅值；(3)将总线电压的幅值与第一电压阈值相比较；(4)如果总线电压的幅值降到第一电压阈值以下，则减少供应给电动机的电流量；(5)在停止驱动电动机的步骤之后将总线电压的幅值与第二电压阈值相比较；以及(6)如果总线电压的幅值已经上升到第二电压阈值之上，则响应于所述命令而增加供应给电动机的电流量。 
根据本发明的第一实施例，增加和减少供应给电动机的电流量的步骤分别包括：如果总线电压已降到第一电压阈值以下则停止驱动电动机，并且如果总线电压已升到第二电压阈值以上则响应于命令而再次驱动电动机。 
根据本发明的第二实施例，该方法还包括从总线电压生成由占空比来表征的脉宽调制信号的步骤。此外，增加和减少供应给电动机的电流量的步骤分别包括：如果总线电压已降到第一电压阈值以下则减小驱动电动机的脉宽调制信号的占空比，而如果总线电压已升到第二电压阈值以上则增加驱动电动机的脉宽调制信号的占空比。 
在此还描述了一种用于在过载条件期间控制电动窗帘的位置的电子驱动单元。该电子驱动单元包括被耦接到电动窗帘以便调整电动窗帘的位置的电动机、被耦接到所述电动机以便从总线电压驱动电动机的电动机驱动电路、以及被耦接到所述电动机驱动电路可操作地驱动所述电动机驱动电路以便控制电动机的旋转以响应于命令来控制电动窗帘的控制器。所述电子驱动单元还包括总线电压监视电路，其被耦接到所述控制器以便向控制器提供代表总线电压的幅值的控制信号，使得控制器可操作地将总线电压的幅值与第一电压阈值相比较，如果总线电压已降到第一电压阈值以下则控制电动机驱动电路以减少供应给电动机的电流量，随后将总线电压的幅值与第二电压阈值相比较，并且如果总线电压已升到第二电压阈值以上则控制电动机驱动电路以增加供应给电动机的电流量。 
根据本发明的另一实施例，一种用于在不使供应电压衰退(collapse)的情况下从电源向电负载递送短暂持续时间的高功率的系统包括第一和第二电力供应、驱动电路、和控制器。所述第一电力供应从电源的源电压生成总线电压，而所述第二电力供应从总线电压生成供应电压。所述驱动电路接收总线电压并适合于控制递送给电负载的电流量。控制器由供应电压来供电，耦接到驱动电路用于控制递送 给电负载的电流量，并对总线电压的幅值作出响应。所述控制器可操作地将总线电压的幅值与第一电压阈值相比较，如果总线电压已降到第一电压阈值以下则控制驱动电路减少供应给电负载的电流量，随后将总线电压的幅值与第二电压阈值相比较，并且如果总线电压已升到第二电压阈值以上则控制驱动电路增加供应给电负载的电流量。 
从下面参考附图对本发明的说明，本发明的其它特征和优点将变得显而易见。

具体实施方式
当结合附图来理解时，将更好地理解前述发明内容以及优选实施例的以下详细说明。出于说明本发明的目的，在附图中示出了当前优选的实施例，在附图中，相同的附图标记在不同的图中自始至终表示类似的部分，然而，应理解的是本发明不限于所公开的特定方法和手段。 
图1是根据本发明的第一实施例的电动窗帘控制系统100的简化框图。电动窗帘控制系统100包括多个电动窗帘110，其每个包括由滚轴管114可旋转地支撑的柔性帘织物112。由电子驱动单元(EDU)120来控制电动窗帘110，电子驱动单元(EDU)120可以位于滚轴管114内部。电子驱动单元120可操作地将帘织物112控制在打开位置与关闭位置之间。EDU 120被耦接到通信链路122并可操作地跨越该通信链路从键区124接收命令。通信链路122可以包括有线通信链路或无线通信链路，诸如，例如射频(RF)通信链路或红外(IR)通信链路。 于2006年1月10日发布的题为MOTORIZED SHADE CONTROLSYSTEM的普通转让美国专利6,983,783中更详细地描述了控制系统100，通过引用而将其全部公开内容合并于此。 
图2是根据本发明的第一实施例的电动窗帘110的电子驱动单元120的简化框图。DC电动机130被耦接到滚轴管114并可操作地在恒定DC电压和具有恒定占空比的脉宽调制(PWM)信号被施加到电动机时以恒定速度可控地旋转滚轴管。改变施加于DC电动机130的DC电压的幅值或PWM信号的占空比将改变电动机的旋转速度。此外，DC电动机130可操作地响应于施加于DC电动机的DC电压或PWM信号的极性的改变而改变旋转方向。 
为了实现DC电动机130的该控制水平，电动机被耦接到由微控制器134驱动的H桥电动机驱动电路132。H桥电动机驱动电路132包括四个晶体管，例如四个场效应晶体管(未示出)。所述晶体管被耦接，使得当晶体管中的两个导电时，向DC电动机130供应正的DC电压，以使DC电动机沿向前方向旋转。当H桥电路132的另两个晶体管导电时，向DC电动机130施加负的DC电压以使电动机沿反方向旋转。为了控制DC电动机130的速度，微控制器134用PWM信号来驱动H桥电路132的晶体管中的至少一个。微控制器134可以是任何适当的控制器，诸如可编程逻辑器件(PLD)、微处理器、专用集成电路(ASIC)、或现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)。 
电子驱动单元120包括旋转位置传感器，诸如，例如霍尔效应传感器(HES)电路136，其可操作地向微控制器134提供关于DC电动机130的旋转速度和方向的信息。所述旋转位置传感器还可以包括其它适当的位置传感器，诸如，例如光学和电阻传感器。下面将参照图3和4来更详细地描述霍耳效应传感器电路136。微控制器134可操作地响应于霍耳效应传感器电路136而确定电动机130的旋转位置。微控制器134使用电动机130的旋转位置来确定帘织物112的当前位置。 微控制器134被耦接到非易失性存储器138以存储帘织物112的当前位置、全开位置、和全闭位置。存储器138可以包括电可擦除可编程只读存储器(EEPROM)。 
电子驱动单元120包括允许微控制器134向和从键区124及其它电子驱动单元120发送和接收通信信号的通信电路140。电子驱动单元120还包括允许用户在电动窗帘110的设置和配置期间向微控制器134提供输入的多个按钮144。例如，按钮144包括顺时针按钮和逆时针按钮。微控制器134在顺时针按钮被按压时以恒定的旋转速度沿顺时针方向驱动电动机130，并在逆时针按钮被按压的同时以恒定的旋转速度沿逆时针方向驱动电动机130。 
微控制器134可操作地响应于例如来自经由通信电路140接收到的通信信号或来自按钮144的用户输入的帘移动命令来控制帘织物112的移动。所述帘移动命令可以由命令类型(例如“移动至期望位置”或“以恒定旋转速度移动”)和期望位置(微控制器134可操作地将帘织物112控制到的位置)。所述期望位置可以是预置位置、全开位置、或全闭位置。 
电子驱动单元120从由交流电源(未示出)生成的24-VAC源电压接收电力。24-VAC源电压被提供给全波桥式整流器142用于生成总线电压VBUS，所述总线电压VBUS被存储电容器146滤波并具有例如约为30VDC的标称幅值。总线电压VBUS被提供给H桥式电动机驱动电路132用于驱动电动机130。电源148接收总线电压VBUS并生成用于对电子驱动单元120的低压电路(即微控制器134、存储器138、和通信电路140)供电的5-VDC供应电压VCC。电子驱动单元120还包括总线电压监视电路150，其向微控制器134提供表示总线电压VBUS的幅值的控制信号。 
图3A是示出霍耳效应传感器电路136的物理组装的电子驱动单元 120的局部示意性端视图。霍耳效应传感器电路136包括两个霍尔效应传感器S1、S2。传感器S1、S2位于最接近于传感器磁铁150的位置，传感器磁铁150被固定于电动机130的输出轴152。传感器S1、S2位于与磁铁150的周边相邻的位置并彼此分开45°。传感器磁铁150包括两个正极154(即“北”极)和两个负极156(即“南”极)。替选 地，传感器磁铁150可以只包括一个正极和一个负极。 
图3B是传感器S1、S2各自的第一输出信号158和第二输出信号160的图。传感器S1、S2依赖于每个传感器是接近于正极154中的一个还是负极156中的一个来将输出信号158、160作为一系列脉冲提供给微控制器134。例如，当传感器磁铁150旋转，使得北极154中的一个移动到第一传感器S1(而不是相邻负极156中的一个)附近，则如图3B中的霍耳效应传感器边沿162所示，第一输出信号158从低(即逻辑0)转换成高(即逻辑1)。霍尔效应传感器边沿可以是第一和第二输出信号158、160的低至高转换或高至低转换。当传感器磁铁150具有两个正极和两个负极时，对于输出轴152的每转，输出信号158、160具有两个上升沿和两个下降沿。 
输出信号158、160的脉冲的频率及因此的周期T是电动机输出轴152的旋转速度的函数。第一与第二输出信号158、160的脉冲之间的相对间隔是旋转方向的函数。当电动机130沿电动机输出轴152的逆时针方向旋转时(图3A中标记为“UP(上)”)，第二输出信号160比第一输出信号158滞后约45°或周期T的1/8。当电动机130沿相反方向旋转时，第二输出信号160比第一输出信号158超前约45°。电子驱动单元120的H桥电动机驱动电路132和霍耳效应传感器电路136的操作在于1998年12月15日发布的题为MOTORIZED WINDOWSHADE SYSTEM的普通转让美国专利5,848,634、于2002年12月24日发布的题为MOTORIZED WINDOW SHADE WITH ULTRAQUIETMOTOR DRIVE AND ESD PROTECTION的普通转让美国专利No.6,497,267中有更详细的描述。通过引用而将两个专利的全部公开内 容合并于此。 
微控制器134将帘织物112的当前位置存储在存储器138中作为帘织物的当前位置与打开位置之间的霍尔效应传感器边沿的数目。微控制器134还根据霍尔效应传感器边沿将全开位置和全闭位置存储在存储器138中。在电子驱动单元120的设置和配置期间，全开位置和全闭位置被设置并存储在存储器138中。 
微控制器134可操作地每当微控制器134接收到例如图3B的第一输出信号158的霍尔效应传感器边沿时将帘织物112的当前位置存储在存储器138中。例如，微控制器134至少每八(8)个霍尔效应传感器边沿、即电动机130的每两个旋转存储当前位置一次。此外，当微控制器134接收到帘移动命令时，微控制器134可操作地将该命令(例如包括命令类型和执行命令之后的帘织物112的期望最终位置)存储在存储器138中。 
总线电压VBUS(由整流器142提供)和供应电压VCC(由电力供应148生成)可以响应于电动机过载条件或低压线路条件而下降。例如，如果电动机130过载，则被电动机汲取的电流可能突然增加。此大电流可能大于通过整流器142提供给存储电容器146的电流的幅值，因此存储电容器两端的电压可能下降。此外，向电子驱动单元120供应电力的AC电源可能是电流有限制的，使得由AC电源供应的电压可能响应于在过载条件期间被电动机130汲取的大电流而下降。因此，由电力供应148生成的供应电压VCC可以降到微控制器134在过载条件期间保持可操作所需的电压水平以下，由此导致微控制器134复位。 
图4A是根据本发明的第一实施例的总线电压监视电路150的第一实施例的简化示意图。总线电压监视电路150仅包括电阻分压器，该电阻分压器具有串联地耦接在总线电压VBUS与电路公共端之间的两个电阻器R1、R2。例如，电阻器R1、R2分别具有约44kΩ和5.6kΩ的 电阻。控制信号BUS_MNTR(其仅仅是缩小形式的总线电压VBUS)产生在电阻器R1、R2的结点处，并被提供给微控制器134的端口。微控制器134包括模拟-数字转换器(ADC)，使得微控制器134可操作地对控制信号BUS_MNTR的值采样并作为响应而控制电动机130。 
微控制器134可操作地经由总线电压监视电路150来监视总线电压VBUS的幅值并减少被递送给电动机130的电流量以允许存储电容器146再充电。具体地，微控制器134对由总线电压监视电路150提供的控制信号BUS_MNTR(其表示总线电压VBUS的幅值)采样并将总线电压VBUS的幅值与第一电压阈值VTH1相比较。如果总线电压VBUS的幅值降到第一电压阈值VTH1以下，则微控制器134例如通过停止电动机来减少被递送给电动机130的电流量。第一电压阈值VTH1可以例如约为18V，其对应于约为2V的控制信号BUS_MTNR的幅值。第一电压阈值VTH1被确定为使得电力供应148能够继续生成供应电压VCC以不间断地向微控制器134供电。 
替选地，如果总线电压VBUS降到第一电压阈值VTH1以下，则微控制器134可以缩减地驱动电动机而不是简单地停止电动机130。例如，微控制器134可以减小提供给电动机驱动电路132的PWM信号的占空比以降低对电动机130的驱动。 
当总线电压VBUS的幅值升到大于第一电压阈值VTH1的第二电压阈值VTH2以上时，微控制器134可操作地例如通过再次驱动电动机来增加被递送给电动机130的电流量。第二电压阈值VTH2可以是例如约24V(即导致控制信号BUS_MNTR的幅值约2.64V)。因此，在过载条件或低压线路条件期间，微控制器134可操作地在帘织物112的移动的中断最少的情况下驱动电动机130，同时允许电力供应148将供应电压VCC维持在微控制器保持可操作所需的电压水平之上。因此，避免了微控制器134在过载或低压线路条件期间的复位。 
图4B是根据本发明的第一实施例的主要由微处理器134执行的EDU 120的控制回路的简化图。微控制器134响应于即时的期望帘位置PDESIRED(根据霍尔效应传感器边沿来指定)来控制电动机130的速度。霍尔效应传感器电路136生成表示实际帘位置PACTUAL的第一和第二输出信号158、160。从期望帘位置PDESIRED减去实际帘位置PACTUAL以产生被应用于增益α的误差信号eP。使用某个滞后量(即第二阈值VTH2)将总线电压VBUS与第一阈值VTH1相比较。当总线电压VBUS大于第一阈值VTH1时，响应于期望帘位置PDESIRED与实际帘位置PACTUAL的差来控制电动机130的速度。然而，当总线电压VBUS小于第一阈值VTH1时，电动机130的速度被控制为零(即关闭)。 
如果微控制器134在帘织物112移动期间进行复位，则微控制器可操作地立即从存储器138取回帘织物112的当前位置和当前命令(即命令类型和期望位置)。微控制器134随后以很小的延迟或位置精确度损失使帘织物112继续移动至最终目的地。有时，微控制器134可以在帘织物112移动的同时重复地复位。微控制器134使用复位计数器来跟踪微控制器在到达期望位置之前连续复位的次数。在停止驱动电动机130之前，微控制器134只尝试移动帘织物112(即只连续地复位)预定的次数，例如约25次，然而所述预定次数可以包括大于或小于25的数目。 
微控制器134还可操作地确定电动机130是否在堵转条件而不是过载条件下操作。当控制器134试图驱动电动机130、然而电动机130不旋转或旋转小于预定量，例如电动机只旋转一次时，发生堵转。在过载条件期间，电动机130典型地旋转电动机多于一个旋转。响应于重复地检测到电动机130的堵转，微控制器134以更快的速率递增(increment)复位计数器，使得微控制器在堵转的情况下仅尝试旋转电动机约五(5)次。 
如果帘移动命令源自电子驱动单元120的按钮144且微控制器134 在帘织物112移动的同时复位，则微控制器134在复位后不尝试驱动电动机130。通常，在安装电子驱动单元时由用户来访问按钮144。由于按钮144物理地位于安装在滚轴管114中的电子驱动单元120上，所以用户通常必须爬梯子来访问按钮。作为安全特征，当帘移动命令源自电子驱动单元120的按钮144时本申请的方法(即在复位之后驱动电动机130)失效。 
如前所述，微控制器134可操作地在每个霍尔效应传感器边沿将帘织物112的当前位置存储在存储器138中。例如，微控制器134可以连续地将位置值存储在存储器138(图4C所示)中的位置表190中。存储器138的每个存储器位置包括例如四个字节。存储在存储器138中的存储器位置上的位置值每个包括例如两个字节。每当在存储器138中存储当前位置时，微控制器134将两个字节的存储器计数器递增。当将位置值保存到存储器位置时，微控制器134将存储器计数器存储在该存储器位置的另两个字节中。其中存储连续位置的存储器位置也是连续的。存储器138中的所述多个位置值提供帘织物112的移动记录。 
图5A是由微控制器134周期性地、例如每572微秒执行的霍尔效应传感器边沿过程500的简化流程图。如果微控制器134已在步骤510从霍尔效应传感器电路136接收到霍尔效应传感器边沿，则微控制器134通过在步骤512将第一和第二输出信号158、160的连续边沿相比较来确定电动机130的旋转方向。例如，如果第二输出信号160比第一输出信号158滞后约45°，则电动机130旋转滚轴管，使得帘织物112沿向上方向移动(如图3A所示)。 
如果电动机130在步骤514沿向上方向旋转，则微控制器134在步骤516将当前位置(即根据霍尔效应传感器边沿)递增一。如果电动机130在步骤514沿向下方向旋转，则微控制器134在步骤518将当前位置减一。在步骤516和518分别递增或递减(decrement)当前 位置之后，退出过程500。如果微控制器134在步骤510未接收到霍尔效应传感器边沿，则简单地退出过程500。 
图5B是根据本发明的第一示例性实施例的总线电压监视过程520的简化流程图。由微控制器134周期性地、例如每572微秒执行总线电压监视过程520。微控制器134在总线电压监视过程520中使用OVERLOAD(过载)标识。如果在电子驱动单元120的正常工作期间设置OVERLOAD标识，则微控制器134不驱动电动机130。 
微控制器134在步骤522首先对控制信号BUS_MNTR(其表示总线电压VBUS)采样。如果在步骤524总线电压VBUS小于第一电压阈值VTH1(即约18V)(即控制信号BUS_MNTR的采样值小于约2V)，则控制器134在步骤526停止电动机130并在步骤528设置OVERLOAD标识以防止电动机被驱动。因此，电动机130被停止以减少被电动机汲取的电流并允许存储电容器146充电。接下来，微控制器134使用位置存储器存储过程600将帘织物112的当前位置存储在存储器138中，这在下文将参照图6来更详细地描述。然后退出过程520。 
如果在步骤524总线电压VBUS不小于18V并且在步骤530设置了OVERLOAD标识，则在步骤532进行关于总线电压VBUS是否已升到第二电压阈值VTH2(即约24V)之上的确定。如果在步骤532总线电压VBUS不大于约24V，则简单地退出过程520。 
然而，如果在步骤532总线电压VBUS大于约24V，则在步骤534进行关于总线电压VBUS是否已持续至少预定的时间量，例如约50毫秒，在24V之上的确定。如果是这样，则微控制器130在步骤536基于存储在存储器138中的当前命令来发出帘移动命令并在步骤538清除OVERLOAD标识以允许电动机130旋转。如果在步骤534总线电压VBUS尚未在24V之上持续至少50毫秒，则退出过程520。步骤534处的确定为总线电压监视过程520提供某个滞后量。如果在步骤524 总线电压VBUS大于或等于18V且在步骤530未设置OVERLOAD标识，则总线电压VBUS处于正常水平。因此，简单地退出过程520。 
图6是位置存储器存储过程600的简化流程图。由微控制器134周期性地、例如每四(4)毫秒执行位置存储器存储过程600。而且，如果控制信号BUS_MNTR已降到第一电压阈值VTH1以下，则由总线电压监视过程520调用位置存储器存储过程600。 
参照图6，如果微控制器134在步骤610确定当前位置最近已改变(即已被霍耳效应传感器边沿过程500递增或递减)，则在步骤612进行关于存储器138当前是否正在忙于写或读数据的确定。如果不是，则微控制器134在步骤614递增存储器计数器并在退出过程600之前在步骤616将当前两字节的位置和两字节的存储器计数器值存储在存储器138的下一个存储器位置。如果在步骤610当前位置最近未改变或者如果在步骤612存储器138忙，则简单地退出过程600。因此，每当微控制器134接收到霍尔效应传感器边沿时，位置存储器存储过程600存储帘织物112的当前位置，除非存储器138忙。 
图7A是每当微控制器被加电时、例如如果微控制器复位时由微控制器134执行的起动过程700的简化流程图。起动过程700首先检查存储在存储器138中的位置表190以确定帘织物112的当前位置。微控制器134搜索位置表190中的连续条目结束的位置，例如如图4C所示的存储器位置六(6)与七(7)之间。起动过程700使用变量m来跟踪当前检查的存储器位置并使用变量k来对在位置表190中发现的不连续的数目进行计数。如果发现多于一个的不连续，则认为位置表190的数据被损坏且帘织物112的位置被注为丢失。 
在步骤710，将变量m设置为一并将变量k设置为零。接下来，微控制器134通过确定下一个存储器位置(即Gm+1)中的存储器计数器值是否比当前存储器位置(即Cm)中的存储器计数器多一来在步骤 712确定在位置表190中存储器计数器值是否连续。如果在步骤712存储器计数器位置在所检查的两个存储器位置中是连续的，则微控制器134在步骤714确定相同的两个存储器位置中的位置是否基本上连续、即在八(8)个霍尔效应传感器边沿内。具体地，在步骤714进行关于下一个存储器位置中的位置离当前存储器位置中的位置是否小于八(8)个霍尔效应传感器边沿的确定。如果是这样，则微控制器134在步骤716将变量m的值递增，使得微控制器准备好检查下一个存储器位置。如果在步骤718微控制器134未检查存储器138中的位置表190中的所有存储器位置，则过程在步骤712和714循环以确定存储器计数器值是否连续且位置是否基本连续。 
如果在步骤712或步骤714注意到在位置表190的数据不连续，则微控制器134在步骤720记录变量m的当前值并在步骤722递增变量k的值。过程700继续循环直至微控制器134在步骤718已检查所有的存储器位置。如果在步骤724变量k大于一(1)(即在位置表190中发现多于一个的不连续)，则微控制器134在步骤726将帘位置标记为丢失且退出过程700。当帘位置丢失时，微控制器134响应于经由通信电路140接收到的帘移动命令而不允许移动帘织物112直至再次设置开闭极限。 
如果在步骤724变量k不大于一(1)，则位置表190中的帘织物112的最近位置在存储器138中的变量m的存储器位置中，因此在步骤728从变量m的存储器位置获取帘的当前位置。如果在步骤730期望位置(即来自当前命令)未被存储在存储器138中，则简单地退出过程700。否则，如果在步骤730期望位置被存储在存储器138中，则在步骤732进行关于电动机130是否已堵转、即帘织物112的当前位置与帘织物的初始位置相距是否不多于例如四(4)个霍耳效应传感器边沿的确定。如下文将参照图8A和8B更详细地描述的，当微控制器第一次接收到帘移动命令并第一次开始移动时，微控制器134将帘织物112的初始位置存储在存储器138中。 
如果在步骤732电动机未堵转，则微控制器134将复位计数器递增一(1)并在步骤734将复位计数器存储在存储器138中。如果在步骤732电动机已堵转，则复位计数器在步骤736被递增五(5)并存储在存储器138中。因此，如果电动机130已堵转，则复位计数器更快地达到最大复位计数器值，即25次复位。如果微控制器134检测到堵转，则微控制器重新尝试驱动电动机130，尝试次数比在电动机过载的情况下少。在已在步骤734或步骤736递增复位计数器的值之后，微控制器134在步骤738使用期望位置(即来自存储在存储器138中的当前命令)发出帘移动命令。 
图7B是由微控制器134周期性地、例如每五(5)毫秒执行的通信信号过程750的简化流程图。如果在步骤752微控制器134已经由通信电路140接收到通信信号，则微控制器在步骤754、760、和766确定在该通信信号中包括什么特定命令。如果在754该命令是“移动至预置位置”命令，则微控制器134在步骤756从存储器138取回预置位置(即根据霍尔效应传感器边沿)。微控制器134随后在步骤758使用预置位置发出帘移动命令，且退出过程750。如果在760该命令是“移动至全开位置”命令，则微控制器134在步骤762从存储器138取回全开位置，在步骤764使用全开位置发出帘移动命令，并退出过程750。同样地，如果在步骤766该命令是“移动至全闭位置”，则微控制器134在步骤768从存储器138取回全闭位置并在退出过程750之前在步骤770使用全闭位置发出帘移动命令。 
图7C是由微控制器134周期性地、例如每五(5)毫秒执行以监视按钮144的按钮过程780的简化流程图。如果在步骤782尚未存在按钮144的状态的最近变化(即顺时针按钮和逆时针按钮均未被刚刚按压或释放)，则简单地退出按钮过程780。然而，如果在步骤782存在按钮状态的变化且在步骤784顺时针按钮刚刚被按压，则微控制器134在步骤786发出帘移动命令以使电动机130以恒定的转动速度沿顺 时针方向移动。如果在步骤784顺时针按钮未被刚刚按压，但微控制器134在步骤788确定逆时针按钮刚刚被按压，则微控制器在步骤790发出帘移动命令，使得电动机以恒定的旋转速度沿逆时针方向旋转。如果在步骤782处存在按钮状态的变化，但在步骤784和788顺时针和逆时针按钮未被刚刚按压，则微控制器134确定按钮中的任何一个已被释放并因此在退出过程780之前在步骤792停止电动机130。 
图8A和8B是由微控制器134周期性地、例如大约每十(10)毫秒执行的帘移动过程800的简化流程图。所述帘移动过程对可以响应于经由通信链路122接收到(即在图7B的步骤758、764、和770)或来自由电子驱动单元120的按钮144提供的用户输入(即在图7C的步骤786和790)的通信信号而发出的帘移动命令进行操作。还可以在起动过程700期间由微控制器134发出帘移动命令(即在图7A的步骤738)。如果微控制器134由于电动机过载条件而重复复位，则起动过程700发出帘移动命令且帘移动过程800随后对帘移动命令进行操作。 
如果在步骤810微控制器134已接收到帘移动命令，且在步骤812帘织物112当前未移动，则在步骤814进行关于复位计数器是否已超过预定阈值、例如25次的确定。如果在步骤814复位计数器已超过预定阈值，则微控制器134在步骤815将复位计数器清零并在步骤816开始过热超时时间段。在过热超时时间段期间，在复位计数器已超过预定阈值之后，微控制器134防止电动机130旋转预定的时间量，例如约20分钟。微控制器134随后在步骤818将无效位置(例如十六进制的0xFF)作为期望位置存储在存储器138中且退出过程800。如果无效位置被作为期望位置存储，则微控制器134在另一次复位之后不试图驱动电动机130。 
如果在步骤814复位计数器不大于25，但在步骤820帘移动命令源自电子驱动单元120的按钮144，则微控制器134在步骤822将无效位置作为期望位置存储在存储器138中，即微控制器在下一次复位之 后不试图驱动电动机。微控制器134随后在步骤824开始依照新的命令经由H桥电动机驱动电路132来驱动电动机130(如图8B所示)。 
如果在步骤820帘移动命令不是来自电子驱动单元120的按钮144，但是在步骤826复位计数器等于零，则已经接收到新的帘移动命令。因此，微控制器134在步骤828将新命令类型、期望位置、和初始位置(即接收到命令时的当前位置)存储在存储器138中。微控制器134随后在步骤824开始依照新的命令经由H桥电动机驱动电路132来驱动电动机130。 
如果在步骤826复位计数器不等于零，则微控制器134在步骤830将当前位置作为初始位置存储在存储器中。如果在步骤832帘移动命令不会将帘织物112送到开闭极限之外，则在步骤824适当地驱动电动机。否则，在步骤834将期望位置剪裁(即调整)至在开闭极限内并在步骤824相应地驱动电动机。 
参照图8B，如果在步骤812帘织物112当前在移动且在步骤836微控制器134已接收到新的帘移动命令(即具有不同的期望位置)，则在步骤838进行关于帘移动命令是否源自电子驱动单元120的按钮144的确定。如果不是，则微控制器在步骤840将新命令类型、新期望位置、和初始位置存储在存储器138中。如果在步骤842新命令将促使帘织物112移动到开闭极限之外，则微控制器在步骤844将期望位置调整为在开闭极限内。如果在步骤838帘移动命令来自按钮144，则微控制器134在步骤846将无效位置作为期望位置存储。最后，微控制器134在步骤824适当地驱动电动机130。 
图9是由微控制器134周期性地、例如大约每6毫秒执行的电动机过程的简化流程图。如果在步骤910帘织物112处于期望位置或者如果在步骤912帘织物不在移动，但足够接近期望位置(例如在八个霍尔效应传感器边沿内)，则微控制器134在步骤914停止驱动电动机 130。微控制器134随后在步骤916将复位计数器清零并在退出过程900之前在步骤918将无效位置作为期望位置存储在存储器138中。如果在步骤910帘织物未处于期望位置且在步骤912未足够接近于期望位置，则微控制器134在步骤920继续驱动电动机130并退出过程900。 
虽然本发明的第一实施例的微控制器134控制电动机130停止，但如果总线电压VBUS降到第一电压阈值VTH1以下，则微控制器可以替选地缩减驱动电动机而不是简单地停止电动机。例如，微控制器134可以控制电动机130，使得总线电压VBUS的幅值在过载条件期间保持在期望过载幅值(亦即小于标称幅值，即30VDC)。 
图10是根据本发明的第二实施例的由微控制器134周期性地(例如每572微秒)执行的总线电压监视过程1020的简化流程图。在步骤1022，微控制器134对控制信号BUS_MNTR采样。如果在步骤1024总线电压VBUS小于或等于第一电压阈值VTH1，则控制器134在步骤1025存储驱动H桥电动机驱动电路132的PWM信号的当前占空比并在步骤1026设置OVERLOAD标识。接下来，控制器134开始减小驱动H桥电动机驱动电路132的PWM信号的占空比。具体地，微控制器134在步骤1028计算总线电压VBUS的实际幅值与期望过载幅值(例如约20V)之间的差VDIFF，并在步骤1030例如通过使用以下等式响应于该差VDIFF而确定PWM信号的期望占空比DC。 
DC＝α·VDIFF+DCTYP，(等式1)
其中，DCTYP是应促使总线电压VBUS的幅值接近于期望过载幅值的PWM信号的典型占空比值。接下来，微控制器134在步骤1032用在步骤1030确定的占空比DC来生成PWM信号，且退出过程1020。 
当再次执行总线电压监视过程1020且在步骤1024总线电压VBUS的幅值大于第一电压阈值VTH1时，在步骤1034进行关于是否设置了OVERLOAD标识的确定。如果在步骤1034设置了OVERLOAD标识， 但在步骤1036总线电压VBUS的幅值不大于第二电压阈值VTH2，则微控制器134在步骤1028、1030、1032再一次确定适当的占空比并驱动PWM信号。当在步骤1036总线电压VBUS的幅值大于第二电压阈值VTH2但在步骤1038尚未持续预定时间量(例如50毫秒)大于第二电压阈值VTH2，则简单地退出过程1020。然而，当在步骤1038总线电压VBUS的幅值已在预定时间量内大于第二电压阈值VTH2，则微控制器134在步骤1040用存储在存储器138中的占空比驱动PWM信号，并在退出过程1020之前在步骤1042清除OVERLOAD标识。 
图11是根据本发明的第三实施例的由微控制器134周期性地(例如每572微秒)执行总线电压监视过程1120的简化流程图。总线电压监视过程1120除了以下外与图5B的总线电压监视过程520相同：微控制器134现在通过在步骤1125将PWM信号的当前占空比存储在存储器138中并随后在步骤1126将PWM信号的占空比减小至预定占空比(例如50％)而不是简单地停止电动机(即在图5B的步骤526)来减少递送给电动机的电流量。此外，微控制器134在步骤1136增大存储在存储器138中的PWM信号的占空比。 
图12A是根据本发明的第四实施例的总线电压监视电路1250的简化示意图。总线电压监视电路1250向微控制器134提供离散逻辑控制信号BUS_MNTR′。当总线电压VBUS的幅值处于适当水平时，控制信号BUS_MNTR′为高(即近似等于供应电压VCC)。当总线电压VBUS的幅值降到第三电压阈值VTH3以下时，控制信号BUS_MNTR′被控制为低(即达到电路公共端或大约为零伏)。因此，微控制器134不需要接收控制信号BUS_MNTR′的模拟-数字转换器。 
总线电压监视电路1250包括与电阻器R12(例如具有10kΩ的电阻)串联耦接在总线电压VBUS与电路公共端之间的齐纳二极管Z10。例如，齐纳二极管Z10具有约14V的击穿电压，使得当总线电压VBUS的幅值在第三电压阈值VTH3(例如约15V)之上时，齐纳二极管Z10 将电流传导通过电阻器R14(例如具有10kΩ的电阻)并到达第一NPN晶体管Q16的基极中。第一晶体管Q16呈现为导通，并因此将NPN第二晶体管Q20的基极拉到电路公共端。因此，第二晶体管呈现为不导通。第二晶体管Q20的集电极将控制信号BUS_MNTR′提供给微控制器134。当第二晶体管Q20不导通时，控制信号BUS_MNTR ′通过电阻器R22(例如具有2.2kΩ的电阻)被拉高至供应电压VCC。例如，晶体管Q16、Q20两者均是由OnSemiconductor制造的零件号MPSA06。 
当总线电压VBUS的电压幅值降到第三电压阈值VTH3(即15V)以下时，第一晶体管Q16呈现为不导通，并集电极通过电阻器R18(例如具有10kΩ的电阻)拉高至供应电压VCC。电阻器R18将电流传导通过第二晶体管Q20的基极，由此使第二晶体管导通。当总线电压VBUS在第三电压阈值VTH3以下时，控制信号BUS_MNTR′被下拉至电路公共端(即低)。当总线电压VBUS的电压幅值回升到第三电压阈值VTH3以上时，控制信号BUS_MNTR′被再次上拉至供应电压VCC(即高)。 
图12B是根据本发明的第四实施例的总线电压监视过程1220的简化流程图。微控制器134在从总线电压监视电路1250接收到控制信号BUS_MNTR′时周期性地(例如每572微秒)执行总线电压监视过程1220。总线电压监视过程1220除了以下以外与图5B的总线电压监视过程520相同：微控制器134分别在步骤1224和1232确定控制信号BUS_MNTR′是低还是高。而且，在步骤1234，微控制器134确定控制信号BUS_MNTR′是否持续至少50毫秒为高。 
本发明描述了用于通过电动机过载条件或低压线路条件来控制电动滚轴帘的闭环算法。在于2007年4月17日提交的题为METHOD OFCONTROLLING A MOTORIZED WINDOW TREATMENT的共同待决、普通转让美国专利申请Serial No.11/787,723中更详细地描述了用于通过电动机过载条件或低压线路条件来控制电动滚轴帘的开环算法。 
虽然已参照电动滚轴帘描述了本发明，但本发明的方法可以应用于包括电动机驱动的任何类型的电动窗帘，诸如电动帐帘或电动Roman帘。 
虽然已关于本发明的特定实施例描述了本发明，但许多其它变更和修改及其使用对于本领域的技术人员来说将是显而易见的。因此，优选的是本发明不受在此的特定公开内容限制，而是仅仅受到随附权利要求的限制。
