Abstract

The casing comprises an opening (3) which is driven by a motor with both directions of rotation (B1,B2). The motor is controlled by a pair of switches (S1,S2) for each of its directions of rotation. The switches are integral parts of the motor and are operated by remote control (6). The remote control has two levers held in an inoperative position by springs. Outside the motor, is a flexible connection (14) running over a drive drum which has a manual rotation drive component whose ends are attached to each of the levers.

Description

L'invention a pour objet un bloc baie comprenant un produit d'occultation entraíné par un moteur à deux sens de rotation, une paire d'interrupteurs pour la commande du moteur dans chacun de ses sens de rotation et des moyens mécaniques d'actionnement manuel de ces interrupteurs.The subject of the invention is a bay unit comprising a blackout product driven by a two engine direction of rotation, a pair of switches for motor control in each of its directions of rotation and mechanical means for manual actuation of these switches.

Un bloc baie est un ensemble qui intègre une fenêtre et un produit d'occultation. Il est équipé d'un moteur à deux enroulements permettant la rotation du moteur dans les deux sens. Les interrupteurs ont pour effet d'appliquer la phase du secteur à l'un ou l'autre des enroulements du moteur pour obtenir l'un ou l'autre des sens de rotation.A bay block is a set that includes a window and a concealment product. It is equipped with a two windings allowing the rotation of the motor in both ways. The switches have the effect to apply the sector phase to one or other of the motor windings to get either sense of rotation.

Dans les blocs baies connus (voir p. ex. le US-A-4,550,759), les interrupteurs sont montés dans un boítier de commande placé dans la partie inférieure du bloc baie et ils sont actionnés par des boutons-poussoirs. Un câblage électrique est donc nécessaire entre le boítier de commande et le moteur qui se trouve dans la partie supérieure du bloc baie.In known bay blocks (see e.g. US-A-4,550,759), the switches are mounted in a control box placed in the part lower of the bay block and they are actuated by push buttons. Electrical wiring is therefore necessary between the control box and the motor which is located in the upper part of the bay block.

La présente invention a pour but de simplifier le câblage et de faciliter l'intégration d'un moteur dans un bloc baie.The object of the present invention is to simplify the wiring and facilitate the integration of a motor in a bay block.

Le bloc baie selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que les interrupteurs sont intégrés au moteur et que les moyens mécaniques d'actionnement des interrupteurs sont constitués de moyens de télémanipulation.The bay block according to the invention is characterized in that that the switches are built into the motor and that mechanical means for actuating switches are made up of remote handling means.

La suppression du câblage entre le boítier de commande et le moteur a pour effet de réduire sensiblement le coût du bloc baie. La suppression du câblage a en outre pour avantage de supprimer la présence d'une tension électrique au niveau de la commande manuelle et de faciliter le respect des prescriptions de sécurité.Elimination of wiring between the control box and the engine has the effect of significantly reducing the cost of the bay block. The removal of the wiring has further the advantage of eliminating the presence of a voltage electric on the manual control and facilitate compliance with safety regulations.

Selon un mode d'exécution de l'invention, des moyens de télémanipulation sont constitués d'un lien souple, tel qu'une corde, un câble ou une chaíne, passant sur un tambour d'entraínement associé à un organe d'entraínement manuel en rotation, les extrémités de ce lien souple étant attachées aux extrémités de deux leviers montés dans le moteur, destinés à actionner les interrupteurs et maintenus dans une position inopérante par des ressorts.According to one embodiment of the invention, means of remote handling consist of a flexible link, such that a rope, a cable or a chain, passing on a drive drum associated with an organ manual rotation drive, the ends of this flexible tie being attached to the ends of two levers mounted in the engine, intended to activate the switches and kept in an inoperative position by springs.

Au lieu d'un lien souple entraíné par un tambour, il est possible d'utiliser une simple paire de cordons ou de tringles, rigides ou souples.Instead of a flexible link driven by a drum, it is possible to use a simple pair of cords or rods, rigid or flexible.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, un mode d'exécution de l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, a mode of the invention.

La figure 1 est une vue schématique, de face, d'un bloc baie.Figure 1 is a schematic front view of a block bay.

La figure 2 est une vue de détail, en coupe axiale d'une partie du carter du moteur équipant le bloc baie.Figure 2 is a detail view, in axial section of a part of the engine casing fitted to the bay block.

La figure 3 représente le schéma électrique du moteur et de son alimentation.Figure 3 shows the electrical diagram of the motor and his food.

La figure 4 représente le télémanipulateur, à une échelle un peu plus grande que la figure 2. Figure 4 shows the remote manipulator, at one slightly larger scale than Figure 2.

La figure 1 représente un bloc baie 1 présentant une ouverture ou baie 2 et un moyen d'occultation de cette ouverture constitué par un volet roulant 3 déroulable d'un tube d'enroulement monté dans la partie supérieure du bloc baie 2 et porté, d'un côté, par un palier 4 et, de l'autre côté, par un moteur logé dans le tube d'enroulement et dont le carter 5 est fixé à un support fixe et fait saillie hors du tube d'enroulement. Dans sa partie inférieure, le bloc baie est équipé d'un télémanipulateur 6 pour la commande du moteur.FIG. 1 represents a bay block 1 having a opening or bay 2 and a means of obscuring this opening consisting of a rolling shutter 3 a winding tube mounted in the upper part bay block 2 and carried, on one side, by a bearing 4 and, on the other side, by a motor housed in the tube winding and whose housing 5 is fixed to a support fixed and protrudes out of the winding tube. In its lower part, the bay block is equipped with a remote manipulator 6 for motor control.

Le moteur est un moteur à deux bobinages B1 et B2 et un condensateur de déphasage C(figure 3), chacun de ces bobinages remplissant à tour de rôle la fonction de bobinage principal et de bobinage auxiliaire selon que la phase P du réseau est appliquée à l'un ou à l'autre des bobinages au moyen de deux interrupteurs S1 et S2.The motor is a motor with two windings B1 and B2 and a phase shift capacitor C (Figure 3), each of these windings alternately fulfilling the function of main winding and auxiliary winding depending on whether phase P of the network is applied to one or the other windings by means of two switches S1 and S2.

La figure 2 représente une partie du carter tubulaire 5 du moteur, sans le tube d'enroulement. Dans ce carter 5 est monté un support 7 dans lequel sont montés les interrupteurs S1 et S2, ainsi que deux leviers 8 et 9 articulés respectivement, par leurs deux extrémités, autour d'un axe 10, respectivement 11. Le levier 8 s'étend au-dessus de l'interrupteur S1 et le levier 9 s'étend au-dessus de l'interrupteur S2. Un ressort 12 soutient le levier 8 pour le rendre inopérant. De même, un ressort 13 soutient le levier 9 pour le rendre inopérant. A l'autre extrémité du levier 8 est attaché un brin 14a d'un lien souple 14, tel qu'une corde ou un câble, un autre brin 14b de ce lien étant attaché à l'extrémité libre du levier 9. Ce lien souple 14 s'enroule sur un tambour 15 entraínable en rotation par un bouton 16 constituant, avec le tambour 15, le manipulateur 6 monté dans un boítier 19. Dans l'exemple représenté, le lien souple 14 est guidé par des gaines 17 et 18 entre le boítier 19 et le carter 5 du moteur.Figure 2 shows part of the tubular casing 5 of the motor, without the winding tube. In this case 5 is mounted a support 7 in which are mounted the switches S1 and S2, as well as two levers 8 and 9 articulated respectively, by their two ends, around an axis 10, respectively 11. Lever 8 extends above switch S1 and lever 9 extends above switch S2. A spring 12 supports lever 8 to make it inoperative. Likewise, a spring 13 supports the lever 9 to make it inoperative. At the other end of the lever 8 is attached a strand 14a of a flexible link 14, such as a rope or a cable, another strand 14b of this link being attached to the free end of the lever 9. This flexible link 14 is wound on a drum 15 which can be rotated by a button 16 constituting, with the drum 15, the manipulator 6 mounted in a housing 19. In the example shown, the flexible link 14 is guided by sheaths 17 and 18 between the housing 19 and the casing 5 of the engine.

Une rotation à gauche ou à droite du bouton 16 a pour effet d'abaisser l'un ou l'autre des leviers 8 ou 9 et de fermer l'interrupteur correspondant, c'est-à-dire de commander la rotation du moteur dans l'un ou l'autre sens. Dès que le bouton 16 est relâché, le levier correspondant devient inopérant sous l'effet de son ressort et le moteur s'arrête.A rotation to the left or to the right of button 16 has for effect of lowering either of the levers 8 or 9 and to close the corresponding switch, i.e. control the rotation of the motor in one or the other meaning. As soon as button 16 is released, the lever correspondent becomes ineffective under the effect of his comes out and the engine stops.

La construction représentée et décrite ci-dessus peut encore être simplifiée par la suppression du tambour 15 et de son bouton 16, les moyens de télémanipulation étant simplement constitués d'une paire de cordons ou de tringles rigides ou souples correspondant aux brins 14a et 14b de la figure 2.The construction shown and described above can be further simplified by removing the drum 15 and its button 16, the remote handling means being simply made up of a pair of cords or rigid or flexible rods corresponding to the strands 14a and 14b in Figure 2.
