Description

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur elektronischen Steuerung der Bewegungen eines Rolladens nach der Gattung des Hauptanspruchs.The invention relates to a device for electronically controlling the movements of a roller shutter according to the preamble of the main claim.

Aus der DE 33 04 962 C2, der DE 40 08 940 A1 und der EP-B-92118 sind elektronische Steuereinrichtungen für einen Rolladenantrieb nach der Gattung des Hauptanspruchs bekannt. Eine grundlegende Funktion ist dabei das Hochfahren und das Absenken des Rolladens bis in die obere bzw. untere Endabschaltungsposition bei Betätigung einer Hochfahrtaste bzw. einer Absenktaste. Will man eine Zwischenposition des Rolladens einstellen, so muß diese Position durch entsprechendes Betätigen einer Taste oder Loslassen einer Taste bei Erreichen dieser Position eingestellt werden. Dies führt dazu, daß diese Zwischenposition häufig nicht in der gewünschten Weise eingestellt wird, so daß nochmalige Korrekturen erforderlich sind. Das Einstellen einer Lüftungsposition zur nächtlichen Belüftung eines Raums erfordert dabei beispielsweise das Anschalten einer Beleuchtung, da sonst die Rolladenposition nicht erkennbar ist. Bei spiegelnden Fensterscheiben ist es oft auch dann nicht möglich, diese Position in der gewünschten Weise einzustellen. In jedem Falle muß zur Einstellung dieser Zwischenposition so lange gewartet werden, bis sie erreicht ist, und dann kann erst die entsprechende Stopptaste betätigt werden.From DE 33 04 962 C2, DE 40 08 940 A1 and EP-B-92118 electronic control devices for a shutter drive according to the preamble of the main claim are known. A basic function is the raising and lowering of the roller shutter down to the upper or lower limit switch position when an up button or a down button is pressed. If you want to set an intermediate position of the roller shutter, this position must be set by pressing a key or releasing a key when this position is reached. This means that this intermediate position is often not set in the desired manner, so that further corrections are necessary. Setting a ventilation position for nightly ventilation of a room requires, for example, the lighting to be switched on, since otherwise the roller shutter position cannot be recognized. With reflecting window panes, it is often not possible to set this position in the desired way. In any case, to set this intermediate position, you have to wait until it is reached and then you can only press the corresponding stop button.

VORTEILE DER ERFINDUNGADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, daß lediglich eine manuelle Auslösung der Bewegung mittels der Schalteranordnung erforderlich ist, und daß dann die gewünschte Position automatisch und exakt angefahren wird. Dies kann beispielsweise auch im Dunkeln oder bei einer Blendung durch die Sonne erfolgen. Hierzu werden keine zusätzlichen Schalter oder Tasten benötigt, da durch die vorgebbare Betätigungsfolge und/oder -dauer diese zusätzlichen Funktionen mittels derselben Schalteranordnung durchführbar sind, die zum Anfahren der Endabschaltungspositionen vorgesehen sind.The device according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that only manual triggering of the movement by means of the switch arrangement is required, and that the desired position is then approached automatically and exactly. This can also be done in the dark, for example, or in the event of glare from the sun. For this purpose, no additional switches or buttons are required, since, due to the presettable sequence and / or duration of operation, these additional functions can be carried out by means of the same switch arrangement that is provided for moving to the limit switch positions.

Durch die in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteil hafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen der im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Vorrichtung möglich. Besonders vorteilhaft eignet sich die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Anfahren einer Lüftungsposition als Zwischenposition, in der der Rolladen zum wenigstens teilweisen Öffnen von Lüftungsöffnungen zwischen den Rolladenlamellen eine entsprechende Strecke von der unteren Endabschaltungsposition hochgefahren ist. Diese Lüftungsposition wird häufig abends im Dunkeln angefahren, um während der Nacht für eine gewisse Frischluftzufuhr zu sorgen. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung braucht das Licht nicht eingeschaltet zu werden, und dennoch wird die gewünschte Lüftungsposition exakt angefahren. Hierbei ist es auch vorteilhaft, daß dieselbe Schalteranordnung für diese Zusatzfunktion verwendet wird, so daß das Auffinden der Schalter oder der Tasten leicht möglich ist.The measures listed in the dependent claims advantageous refinements and improvements of the device specified in claim 1 are possible. The device according to the invention is particularly advantageously suitable for moving to a ventilation position as an intermediate position in which the roller shutter for at least partially opening ventilation openings between the roller shutter slats has been raised a corresponding distance from the lower limit switch position. This ventilation position is often approached in the evening in the dark to provide a certain amount of fresh air during the night. In the device according to the invention, the light does not need to be switched on, and yet the desired ventilation position is approached exactly. It is also advantageous here that the same switch arrangement is used for this additional function, so that the switch or the buttons can be found easily.

Weiterhin kann die Vorrichtung auch in vorteilhafter Weise zum Anfahren einer Blendschutzposition als Zwischenposition eingesetzt werden, in der der Rolladen zum Schutz gegen Sonneneinstrahlung zum Teil abgesenkt ist, z.B. um 80 %. Auch hier wird jeweils durch Betätigen der ohnehin vorhandenen Schalteranordnung die gewünschte Position automatisch und exakt angefahren, auch bei einer eventuellen Blendeinwirkung durch die Sonne.Furthermore, the device can also be used in an advantageous manner for moving to a glare protection position as an intermediate position in which the roller shutter for protection is partially reduced against solar radiation, for example by 80%. Here, too, the desired position is automatically and precisely approached by actuating the switch arrangement which is already present, even in the event of a possible glare from the sun.

Ein den Absenkvorgang bis zur Blendschutzposition zusätzlich bei Überschreiten einer vorgebbaren Bestrahlungsstärke auslösender Sonnensensor ergänzt in vorteilhafter Weise das schalterbetätigte Anfahren dieser Blendschutzposition und sorgt für ein vollautomatisches, von der Bestrahlungsstärke abhängiges Anfahren. Dies bedeutet, daß die Sonnenabsenkposition (z.B. 80 %) auch ohne Einwirkung eines Sonnensensors auf Wunsch bei starker Sonneneinstrahlung durch Handbetätigung angefahren werden kann. So hat der Bediener die Möglichkeit, auch ohne Sonnensensor bei Sonneneinstrahlung gezielt den Rolladen abzusenken und so seine Einrichtungsgegenstände vor allzustarker Sonneneinstrahlung zu schützen. Ein Öffnen des Rolladens ist jederzeit wieder möglich, z.B. durch Betätigung einer "Hoch"-Taste.A sun sensor which triggers the lowering process up to the anti-glare position when a predeterminable irradiance is exceeded advantageously supplements the switch-actuated approach to this anti-glare position and ensures a fully automatic start dependent on the irradiance. This means that the sun lowering position (e.g. 80%) can also be reached by hand if there is strong sunshine without the influence of a sun sensor. This gives the operator the option of lowering the roller shutters in a targeted manner even without a sun sensor and thus protecting his furnishings from excessive solar radiation. The roller shutter can be opened again at any time, e.g. by pressing an "up" button.

Die Speichermittel sind zweckmäßigerweise zum Speichern von den jeweiligen Anfahrpositionen entsprechenden Zahlenwerten ausgebildet, wobei Vergleichsmittel zum Stoppen des Antriebsmotors bei Übereinstimmung des jeweiligen gespeicherten Zahlenwerts mit einem akutellen Istwert vorgesehen sind. Hierdurch können auf einfache Weise mehrere Anfahrpositionen eingestellt werden.The storage means are expediently designed to store numerical values corresponding to the respective approach positions, comparison means being provided for stopping the drive motor when the respective stored numerical value matches an actual current value. In this way, several approach positions can be set in a simple manner.

Ein vom Antriebsmotor oder der Rolladenwelle angetriebener Impulsgeber sowie eine die Impulse zählende Zähleinrichtung eignen sich vorzugsweise zur Bildung des aktuellen Istwerts.A pulse generator driven by the drive motor or the roller shutter shaft and a counting device counting the pulses are preferably suitable for forming the current actual value.

BESCHREIBUNG DER AUSFÜHRUNGSBEISPIELEDESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Bei dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist schematisch ein elektrischer Antriebsmotor 10 zum Antrieb eines Rolladens 11 dargestellt. Dieser Antrieb kann in an sich bekannter Weise dadurch erfolgen, daß der Antriebsmotor 10 als Rohrmotor in der Wickelwelle für den Rolladenpanzer angeordnet ist, oder aber der Antriebsmotor 10 treibt den Rolladen indirekt über den Rolladengurt an und ist zusammen mit der Gurtwickelvorrichtung als funktionale Einheit ausgebildet zum Einschieben in die entsprechende Wandöffnung für die Gurtwickelvorrichtung, wie dies im eingangs angegebenen Stand der Technik beschrieben ist.In the embodiment of the device according to the invention shown in FIG. 1, an electric drive motor 10 for driving a roller shutter 11 is shown schematically. This drive can be carried out in a manner known per se in that the drive motor 10 is arranged as a tubular motor in the winding shaft for the roller shutter curtain, or the drive motor 10 drives the roller shutter indirectly via the roller shutter belt and is designed together with the belt winding device as a functional unit Pushing into the corresponding wall opening for the belt winding device, as described in the prior art specified at the beginning.

Zur Erfassung der Position des Rolladens 11 bzw. der Wickelposition ist der Antriebsmotor 10 mit einem Positionsgeber 12 verbunden, der beispielsweise aus einem über ein Getriebe antreibbaren Zahnrad besteht, wobei ein Aufnehmer zur Erfassung der vorbeilaufenden Zähne dieses Zahnrads ausgebildet ist. Die im Aufnehmer erzeugten Impulse werden in einer Zähleinrichtung 13 je nach Zählrichtung aufwärts oder abwärts gezählt, so daß der jeweilige Zählerstand ein Maß für die Wickelposition des Rollladens 11 ist.In order to detect the position of the roller shutter 11 or the winding position, the drive motor 10 is connected to a position transmitter 12 which, for example, consists of a gear wheel which can be driven by a gear, a sensor being designed to detect the teeth of this gear wheel passing by. The pulses generated in the transducer are counted up or down in a counting device 13 depending on the counting direction, so that the respective counter reading is a measure of the winding position of the roller shutter 11 is.

Der jeweilige Zählerstand der Zähleinrichtung 13 wird einer elektronischen Steuereinrichtung 14 zugeführt, die beispielsweise als Mikrocomputer ausgebildet sein kann. Dabei ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, die Impulse des Positionsgebers 12 direkt der elektronischen Steuereinrichtung 14 zuzuführen und dort zu zählen. Die elektronische Steuereinrichtung 14 betätigt über eine Antriebssteuerung 15 den Antriebsmotor 10 in den beiden Drehrichtungen. Eine aus vier Tastschaltern S1 - S4 bestehende Schalteranordnung ist mit der elektronischen Steuereinrichtung 14 verbunden und dient zur Erzeugung der erforderlichen Steuer- bzw. Bedienungsbefehle.The respective counter reading of the counting device 13 is fed to an electronic control device 14, which can be designed, for example, as a microcomputer. It is of course also possible to supply the pulses from the position transmitter 12 directly to the electronic control device 14 and to count them there. The electronic control device 14 actuates the drive motor 10 in the two directions of rotation via a drive control 15. A switch arrangement consisting of four push-button switches S1-S4 is connected to the electronic control device 14 and is used to generate the necessary control or operating commands.

Eine Betätigung des Tastschalters S1 setzt den Antriebsmotor 10 in der einen Drehrichtung in Gang, in der der Rolladen 11 hochgefahren bzw. aufgewickelt wird, während eine Betätigung des Tastschalters S2 eine Bewegung des Antriebsmotors 10 in der umgekehrten Drehrichtung einleitet, in der der Rolladen 11 abgewickelt bzw. abgesenkt wird. Eine Betätigung des als Stoppschalter dienenden Tastschalters S3 stoppt die jeweilige Motorbewegung. In an sich bekannter Weise müssen vor der Aufnahme des Betriebs die untere und die obere Abschaltposition eingespeichert werden. Hierzu wird zunächst mit Hilfe der Tastschalter S1 und S3 die obere Endabschaltungsposition angefahren und durch Betätigung des Tastschalters S4 in der elektronischen Steuereinrichtung 14 gespeichert, das heißt, der entsprechende Zählerstand der Zähleinrichtung 13 wird als Zahlenwert Z1 in einem Speicher der elektronischen Steuereinrichtung 14 gespeichert. Anschließend wird mittels der Tastschalter S2 und S3 die untere Endabschaltungsposition angefahren und durch Betätigung des Tastschalters S4 als Zahlenwert Z2 ebenfalls gespeichert. Anschließend werden noch zwei Zwischenpositionen entsprechend eingespeichert, wobei die eine Zwischenposition eine Lüftungsposition ist, in der der Rolladen zum Öffnen einer vorgebbaren Zahl von Lüftungsöffnungen zwischen den Rolladenlamellen eine entsprechende Strecke von der unteren Endabschaltungsposition hochgefahren ist. Diese Position wird als Zahlenwert Z4 eingespeichert. Als weitere Zwischenposition wird eine Blendschutzposition eingespeichert, in der der Rolladen zur Sonnenabschirmung beispielsweise um 80 % abgesenkt ist. Diese Blendschutzposition wird als Zahlenwert Z3 entsprechend eingespeichert.An actuation of the pushbutton switch S1 sets the drive motor 10 in motion in one direction of rotation in which the roller shutter 11 is raised or wound up, while an actuation of the pushbutton switch S2 initiates a movement of the drive motor 10 in the opposite direction of rotation in which the roller shutter 11 unwinds or is lowered. An actuation of the pushbutton switch S3 serving as a stop switch stops the respective motor movement. In a manner known per se, the lower and upper switch-off positions must be stored before starting operation. For this purpose, the upper limit switch position is first approached using the pushbuttons S1 and S3 and stored in the electronic control device 14 by actuating the pushbutton switch S4, that is to say the corresponding counter reading of the counting device 13 is stored as a numerical value Z1 in a memory of the electronic control device 14. The lower limit switch position is then approached by means of the pushbuttons S2 and S3 and also stored as numerical value Z2 by actuating the pushbutton S4. Then two intermediate positions are saved accordingly, wherein the one intermediate position is a ventilation position in which the roller shutter is opened a corresponding distance from the lower limit switch position to open a predeterminable number of ventilation openings between the roller shutter slats. This position is stored as numerical value Z4. A glare protection position is stored as a further intermediate position, in which the roller shutter for sun protection is lowered, for example, by 80%. This anti-glare position is correspondingly stored as numerical value Z3.

Es ist auch möglich, daß bereits werksseitig die Blendschutzposition und die Lüftungsposition durch entsprechende Programmierung zur Verfügung gestellt ist, beispielsweise als Blendschutzposition eine 80 % geschlossene Position und als Lüftungsposition eine 95 % geschlossene Position. Diese beiden Zwischenpositionen werden dann automatisch wirksam, wenn die beiden Endabschaltungspositionen bekannt sind, also eingegeben worden sind. Diese werksseitig vorgegebenen Zwischenpositionen lassen sich in der vorstehend beschriebenen Weise als Individualwerte neu programmieren bzw. einspeichern.It is also possible that the anti-glare position and the ventilation position are already provided in the factory by appropriate programming, for example an 80% closed position as anti-glare position and a 95% closed position as ventilation position. These two intermediate positions take effect automatically when the two limit switch positions are known, that is, have been entered. These intermediate positions preset at the factory can be reprogrammed or stored as individual values in the manner described above.

Die Wirkungsweise des dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels wird nun anhand des in Fig. 2 dargestellten Flußdiagramms erläutert.The operation of the illustrated embodiment will now be explained with reference to the flow chart shown in Fig. 2.

Durch das in der elektronischen Steuereinrichtung enthaltene Betriebsprogramm wird in einer Schleife ständig abgefragt, ob der Schalter S1 betätigt ist (Schritt 20) oder der Schalter S2 (Schritt 21). Wird der Schalter S1 zum Hochfahren des Rolladens betätigt und befindet sich der Rolladen nicht ohnehin schon in der oberen Endabschaltungsposition (Z = Z1), so wird der Antriebsmotor in der Aufwickelrichtung eingeschaltet (Schritt 22). Nun wird in einer Schleife abgefragt, ob der Stoppschalter S3 betätigt wird (Schritt 23) oder ob die obere Endabschaltungsposition Z1 erreicht ist (Schritt 24). In beiden Fällen wird der Motor gestoppt (Schritt 25).The operating program contained in the electronic control device continuously queries whether the switch S1 is actuated (step 20) or the switch S2 (step 21). If the switch S1 is operated to raise the roller shutter and the roller shutter is not already in the upper limit switch position (Z = Z1), the drive motor is switched on in the winding direction (step 22). Now it is queried in a loop whether the stop switch S3 is actuated (Step 23) or whether the upper limit switch position Z1 has been reached (Step 24). In both cases, the engine is stopped (step 25).

Im umgekehrten Fall, also bei Betätigung des Tastschalters S2 (Schritt 21), wird der Antriebsmotor 10 in der Abwickelrichtung in Gang gesetzt (Schritt 26), sofern nicht ohnehin schon die untere Endabschaltungsposition Z2 vorliegt. Nun wird wiederum in einer Schleife abgefragt, ob der Stoppschalter S3 betätigt wird (Schritt 27) oder ob die untere Endabschaltungsposition Z2 erreicht ist (Schritt 28). In beiden Fällen wird der Antriebsmotor 10 gestoppt (Schritt 25). Somit kann der Rolladen durch Betätigung des Stoppschalters S3 jederzeit angehalten werden. Es ist selbstverständlich auch möglich, das Stoppen des Motors durch nochmalige Betätigung eines der Tastschalter S1 oder S2 zu bewirken, um einen zusätzlichen Stoppschalter S3 einzusparen.In the opposite case, that is to say when the pushbutton switch S2 is actuated (step 21), the drive motor 10 is started in the unwinding direction (step 26), provided that the lower limit switch position Z2 is not already present. Now a loop is again queried as to whether the stop switch S3 is actuated (step 27) or whether the lower limit switch position Z2 has been reached (step 28). In both cases, the drive motor 10 is stopped (step 25). Thus, the roller shutter can be stopped at any time by pressing the stop switch S3. It is of course also possible to stop the motor by pressing one of the pushbuttons S1 or S2 again in order to save an additional stop switch S3.

Um die Zwischenpositionen Z3 bzw. Z4 anzufahren, muß der Tastschalter S1 bzw. S2 während einer Zeit von mehr als 2 Sekunden betätigt werden. Nach Betätigung des Tastschalters S1 (Schritt 20) oder S2 (Schritt 21) wird daher nach einer Verzögerungszeit von 2 Sekunden (Schritt 29) geprüft, ob der Tastschalter S1 oder der Tastschalter S2 immer noch betätigt sind (Schritt 30). Ist dies nicht der Fall, so wird in der bereits beschriebenen Weise die Betätigung des Tastschalters S3 bzw. das Erreichen eines der Endabschaltungswerte Z1 bzw. Z2 abgefragt. Ist dagegen wenigenst einer der Tastschalter S1 und S2 nach 2 Sekunden immer noch betätigt, so wird im Schritt 31 das Erreichen der Lüftungsposition (Zählerstand Z4) oder der Blendschutzposition (Zählerstand Z3) abgewartet und dann im Schritt 25 der Antriebsmotor 10 gestoppt. Da im Schritt 31 das Erreichen des Zählerstands Z3 oder des Zählerstands Z4 abgewartet wird, stoppt der Antriebsmotor 10 den Rolladen 11 beim Ablassen in der Blendschutzposition dagegen beim Hochfahren aus der unteren Endabschaltungsposition in der Lüftungsposition.In order to move to the intermediate positions Z3 or Z4, the pushbutton switch S1 or S2 must be pressed for more than 2 seconds. After pressing the pushbutton switch S1 (step 20) or S2 (step 21), it is therefore checked after a delay time of 2 seconds (step 29) whether the pushbutton switch S1 or the pushbutton switch S2 is still actuated (step 30). If this is not the case, the actuation of the pushbutton switch S3 or the reaching of one of the limit switch values Z1 or Z2 is queried in the manner already described. If, on the other hand, at least one of the pushbuttons S1 and S2 is still actuated after 2 seconds, the ventilation position (counter reading Z4) or the anti-glare position (counter reading Z3) is reached in step 31 and the drive motor 10 is then stopped in step 25. Since it is awaited in step 31 that the counter reading Z3 or the counter reading Z4 is reached, the drive motor 10 stops the roller shutter 11 when lowering in the anti-glare position, on the other hand when starting from the lower limit switch position in the ventilation position.

Zum Anfahren der Blendschutzposition oder Lüftungsposition können auch beide Tastschalter S1 und S2 für wenigstens 2 Sekunden gemeinsam betätigt werden. Auch hierdurch werden diese Positionen automatisch angefahren.To move to the anti-glare position or ventilation position, both pushbuttons S1 and S2 can also be operated together for at least 2 seconds. This also automatically moves to these positions.

Anstelle einer Betätigung wenigstens eines der beiden Tastschalter S1 bzw. S2 für eine vorgegebene Zeitspanne - im Ausführungsbeispiel 2 Sekunden - kann auch eine andere Betätigungszeit und/oder -folge zum Anfahren der Zwischenpositionen vorgesehen werden. Beispielsweise kann auch eine mehrmalige Betätigung wenigstens einer der beiden Tastschalter S1 bzw. S2 zur Auslösung dieser Funktion verwendet werden.Instead of actuating at least one of the two pushbuttons S1 or S2 for a predetermined period of time - 2 seconds in the exemplary embodiment - a different actuation time and / or sequence can also be provided for moving to the intermediate positions. For example, repeated actuation of at least one of the two pushbuttons S1 or S2 can also be used to trigger this function.

Das in Fig. 3 dargestellte Flußdiagramm erläutert das automatische Anfahren der Blendschutzposition bei Überschreiten einer vorgebbaren Bestrahlungsstärke durch die Sonne. Hierzu wird ständig in einer Schleife (Schritt 32) abgefragt, ob ein in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellter Sonnensensor so stark durch die Sonne bestrahlt wird, daß ein vorgebbarer Grenzwert für die Bestrahlungsstärke überschritten wird. Gleichzeitig muß eine Position des Rollladens oberhalb der Blendschutzposition vorliegen, im dargestellten Beispiel ein Zahlenwert, der größer als der Zahlenwert Z3 ist. Sind diese Bedingungen erfüllt, so wird der Antriebsmotor 10 im Schritt 33 in der Abwickelrichtung eingeschaltet, so daß der Rolladen abgesenkt wird, bis die Blendschutzposition erreicht ist. Dies wird durch Erreichen des Zahlenwerts Z3 im Schritt 34 erkannt. Im Schritt 35 wird dann der Antriebsmotor 10 gestoppt. Das Ablassen des Rolladens in die Blendschutzposition erfolgt daher sowohl vollautomatisch durch den Sonnensensor als auch wahlweise durch Betätigung eines der Tastschalter S1 bzw. S2 in der dafür vorgesehenen Weise.The flowchart shown in FIG. 3 explains the automatic approach to the anti-glare position when the presettable irradiance is exceeded by the sun. For this purpose, a loop (step 32) is continuously queried as to whether a sun sensor (not shown in FIG. 1) is irradiated by the sun to such an extent that a predefinable limit value for the irradiance is exceeded. At the same time there must be a position of the roller shutter above the anti-glare position, in the example shown a numerical value that is greater than the numerical value Z3. If these conditions are met, the drive motor 10 is switched on in step 33 in the unwinding direction, so that the roller shutter is lowered until the anti-glare position is reached. This is recognized by reaching the numerical value Z3 in step 34. In step 35, the drive motor 10 is then stopped. The roller shutter is therefore lowered into the anti-glare position both fully automatically by the sun sensor and also optionally by pressing one of the pushbuttons S1 or S2 in the manner provided.

Gemäß dem eingangs angegebenen Stand der Technik kann die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung auch noch mit Zeitfunktionen versehen sein, die ein zeitgesteuertes Hochfahren oder Absenken des Rolladens ermöglichen.In accordance with the prior art specified at the outset, the device according to the invention can also be provided with time functions which enable the shutter to be raised or lowered in a time-controlled manner.
