Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a motor-driven roll screen including a winding roll and a screen sheet connected at its upper end to said winding roll, said winding roll being driven by an electric motor to wind up said screen sheet thereon or to unwind said screen sheet therefrom, to open or close the roll screen.
  • the screen sheet is lowered by rotating the winding roll in sheet unwinding direction. If the rotation of the winding roll is continued in its sheet lowering direction after a weight bar attached to the lower end of the screen sheet (which serves to hold the screen sheet in stretched state) has come into contact with a floor surface, the screen sheet becomes slackened, so that the appearance of the roll screen becomes injured.
  • a weight bar attached to the lower end of the screen sheet which serves to hold the screen sheet in stretched state
  • the screen sheet becomes slackened, so that the appearance of the roll screen becomes injured.
  • Such problem may be solved by adjusting the full length of the screen sheet to be precisely equal to the height of the fixing position of the winding roll from the floor surface.
  • such adjustment of the full length of the screen sheet according to the height of the fixing position of the screen sheet requires a troublesome work.
  • the weight bar comes into contact with some obstacle existing in the lowering path of the screen sheet, the weight bar becomes tilted to the left or the right, depending upon the position of the obstacle, even if the lowering of the screen sheet is stopped. If the lowering of the screen sheet is not stopped after the weight bar has come into contact with the obstacle, the screen sheet becomes inflated while tilting to the left or to the right.
  • the weight bar attached to the lower end of the screen sheet comes into contact with some obstacle as described above, the appearance of the roll screen is largely injured and, moreover, the screen sheet itself or the operating mechanism therefor may be damaged.
  • the present invention aims at solving the above-mentioned problem inherent to the conventional roll screen. It is an object of the present invention to provide a motor-driven roll screen which is arranged to stop lowering of the screen sheet at once when the weight bar attached to the lower end of the screen sheet has come into contact with a floor surface or any obstacle, and the signal transmitting conductor connecting the limit switch with the rotation control means is so arranged that it does not hang outside of the roll screen to injure the appearance of the roll screen.
  • the present invention provides a motor-driven roll screen including a winding roll and a screen sheet connected at its upper end to said winding roll and having a weight bar attached to its lower end, said winding roll being driven by an electric motor to wind up said screen sheet thereon or to unwind said screen sheet therefrom, thereby opening or closing the roll screen, which comprises a limit switch attached to said weight bar and arranged to be actuated by said weight bar coming into contact with a floor surface or any obstacle existing in its lowering path; at least one signal transmitting conductor attached to said screen sheet along a side edge thereof substantially throughout a full length thereof, said signal transmitting conductor being connected at its lower end to said limit switch; and winding roll rotation control means for controlling rotation of said winding roll, connected to an upper end of said signal transmitting conductor.
  • the signal transmitting conductor is preferably consists of a flat cable, which provides such advantage that the winding and unwinding operation of the roll screen can be smoothly effected and the total thickness of the signal transmitting conductor which has been completely wound up on the winding roll can be reduced.
  • the winding roll consists of a core pipe driven by the electric motor and a screen sheet fixing pipe fixedly fitted on the outside of said core pipe, and a length of said screen sheet fixing pipe is shorter than that of said core pipe to form a space having a width at least equal to a transverse width of said signal transmitting conductor, while a radius of said screen sheet is larger than that of said core pipe to form the space having a radial size at least equal to a total thickness of the signal transmitting conductor which has been completely wound up on the winding roll.
  • This construction provides such advantage that the signal transmitting conductor does not project beyond the outside surface of the winding roll when the screen sheet having the signal transmitting conductor or conductors at one or both ends has been completely wound up onto the winding roll.
  • Fig. 1 is a front view showing a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which includes a roll screen sheet 1, a motor-driven winding roll 2, a weight bar 3 attached to the lower end of said screen sheet 1, and supporting members 4 for supporting the winding roll 2.
  • a limit switch 5 is attached to the weight bar 3, as shown in Fig. 2, which is arranged to be actuated by the weight bar 3 coming into contact with a floor surface or an obstacle which may exist in the lowering path of the screen sheet 1 when the screen sheet 1 is lowered by rotating the winding roll in its unwinding direction.
  • the limit switch 5 is arranged at each end of the weight bar 3, and an obstacle sensing member 6 connected between the limit switches 5 at the both ends of the weight bar is slidably mounted in the weight bar in vertical direction, so that said obstacle sensing member can sense an obstacle which exists at any position between the both ends of the weight bar.
  • a signal transmitting conductor 7 is attached to said screen sheet along a side edge thereof throughout a full length thereof.
  • the signal transmitting conductor 7 may be attached to the screen sheet by fixing a strip having the signal transmitting conductor 7 onto the side edge of the screen sheet 1, as shown in Fig. 4A, or adhering the signal transmitting conductor 7 in the form of a flat cable directly onto the side edge of the roll screen sheet.
  • the lower end of the signal transmitting conductor is connected with the limit switch 5, as shown in Fig. 2, and the upper end of said conductor is connected through a rotary sliding contact means (as hereinafter described) to a winding roll rotation control device 8 as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the control device 8 is turned ON or OFF by an operating switch 9.
  • connection between the upper end of the signal transmitting conductor and the rotation control device 8 is formed, for example, by fixed contact members 12 disposed in a stationary part consisting of a fixed shaft 10 supported by the supporting member 4 and a contact receiving shaft 11 and movable contact members 13 disposed in the winding roll 2 rotatably supported on said stationary part.
  • the fixed contact members 12 and the movable contact members 13 are held in pressed contact with each other under the action of springs 14 to constitute the rotary sliding contact means to transmit an electric signal.
  • the movable contact members 13 are supported by a contact adapter 15.
  • the roll screen according to the present invention is so constructed that when the weight bar 3 comes into contact with any obstacle, the contact is detected by the limit switch and the signal is transmitted through the rotary sliding contact means to the rotation control device, which controls the rotation of the winding roll.
  • the winding roll 2 consists of a core pipe 2a driven by the electric motor and a screen sheet fixing pipe 2b fixedly fitted on the outside of said core pipe to which said roll screen sheet is fixed.
  • a length of said screen sheet fixing pipe 2b is shorter than that of the core pipe 2a to form, at its end, a space having a width at least equal to a transverse width of said signal transmitting conductor, while a radius of the screen sheet fixing pipe 2b is larger than that of the core pipe 2a to form the space having a radial size at least equal to a total thickness of the signal transmitting conductor which has been completely wound up on the winding roll.
  • the total thickness of the superposed signal transmitting conductor when the roll screen sheet has been completely wound up on the winding roll is housed in the space formed at the end of the screen sheet fixing pipe, so that no convex portion is formed on the surface of the screen sheet which has been completely wound up onto the winding roll.
  • the numeral 16, in Fig. 2, designates a cap
  • the numeral 17, in Fig. 5 designates a motor pipe.
  • the limit switches are mounted on the both ends of the weight bar and the signal transmitting conductors 7 are attached to the roll screen sheet along both side edges thereof.
  • the upper end portions of these signal transmitting conductors are collected at one end of the winding roll and connected through the rotary sliding contact means to the control device.
  • the electric circuit contained in the limit switch is actuated, whereby a signal current passes to stop rotation of the electric motor.
  • the two signal transmitting conductors are connected in parallel, so that if only one of the switches is actuated the lowering of the roll screen sheet is stopped at once.
  • the present invention provides the motor-driven roll screen which is arranged to immediately stop lowering of the roll screen sheet when the weight bar comes into contact with a floor surface or any obstacle 18 existing in the lowering path of the roll screen sheet, as shown in Fig. 3B. Accordingly, the roll screen is prevented from injuring its appearance or producing any damage of the screen sheet or the operating mechanism therefor.
