Abstract

The end of course detector for a flexible swimming pool cover has inductive proximity sensors placed on the flexible straps (L) of the movable supports. The detection of the end of course is sensed by metal sensors (D) placed on the straps. The straps can be held in contact with the cover by a counterweight.

Description

Le systême de détection des fins de course est effectuè par deux détecteurs de proximité inductifs plaçés sur des lanières souples L ou support mobiles.The limit switch detection system is carried out by two inductive proximity sensors placed on flexible L straps or mobile supports.

La détection de fin de course dans le sens couvrir la piscine (débobinnage du volet ) est effectuée en détectant la présence métallique de l'axe A d'enroulement du volet une fois que celui-ci est déroulé ou en détectant la présence d'un élément métallique plaçé dans ou sur les dernières lames du volet .End-of-travel detection in the direction of covering the pool (unwinding of the flap) is carried out by detecting the metallic presence of the axis A for winding the flap once it is unrolled or by detecting the presence of a metal element placed in or on the last blades of the shutter.

La détection de fin de course dans le sens découvrir la piscine (rembobinnage du volet ) est effectuée en détectant la présence d'un élément métallique EM placé dans ou sur les premières lames du volet End-of-travel detection in the direction of discovering the pool (rewinding of the flap) is carried out by detecting the presence of a metallic element EM placed in or on the first blades of the flap

Réalisation possible de l'invention :Possible realization of the invention:

La description qui suit n'est ni limitative ni restrictive.The following description is neither restrictive nor restrictive.

Les détecteurs D de présence métallique sont placès sur des lanières souples L . Ces lanières sont maintenues en contact permanent avec le volet grâce à un contrepoids C. The metal presence detectors D are placed on flexible strips L. These strips are kept in permanent contact with the shutter thanks to a counterweight C.

La détection de fin de course du mouvement de couverture de la piscine est effective lorsque le volet étant tout déroulé, l'axe métallique A est détecté .The end of travel detection of the swimming pool cover movement is effective when the shutter is fully extended, the metal axis A is detected.

La détection de fin de course du mouvement de découvrement de la piscine est effective lorsque le volet étant pratiquement rembobinné , le métal EM contenu dans les lames de tête est détecté .The end of travel detection of the pool cover movement is effective when the shutter is practically rewound, the EM metal contained in the head blades is detected.

Les détecteurs utilisés ont un degré de protection IP67 ou IP68 selon la profondeur d'immersion .The detectors used have a degree of protection IP67 or IP68 depending on the immersion depth.

Claims (1)

Le système se caractérise par un ou des support(s) de détecteurs , qui sont souples ou mobiles afin d'appliquer le ou les détecteurs de fin de course sur le parcours de la couverture de piscine (couverture flottant sur la piscine). Les supports souples ou mobiles peuvent être placès dans ou hors de l'eau .The system is characterized by one or more detector supports, which are flexible or mobile in order to apply the limit switch (s) to the course of the swimming pool cover (floating cover on the swimming pool). Flexible or mobile supports can be placed in or out of the water.
