Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif obturateur d'une extrémité d'un coffre-tunnel pour volet roulant, lequel volet est destiné à être entraíné en rotation par un moteur électrique, dispositif obturateur incluant une joue sensiblement parallèle à ladite extrémité.The present invention relates to a shutter device of one end of a tunnel box for roller shutter, which shutter is intended to be rotated by an electric motor, a shutter device including a cheek substantially parallel to said end.

Habituellement, les systèmes à coffre-tunnels sont prévus pour être intégrés en cours de construction à la maçonnerie d'un bâtiment, au-dessus d'embrasures de fenêtre ou de porte. Chaque coffre-tunnel est généralement constitué d'une coque moulée comportant un évidement en forme de tunnel dont une partie inférieure est ouverte pour permettre d'y loger le volet roulant constitué essentiellement d'un tablier enroulé sur un axe de volet roulant dont il convient de fixer respectivement les extrémités aux joues.Tunneling systems are usually intended to be integrated into course of construction to the masonry of a building, above embrasures of window or door. Each tunnel box usually consists of a shell molded having a tunnel-shaped recess, a lower part of which is open to accommodate the rolling shutter consisting essentially of an apron rolled on a rolling shutter axis whose respective extremes to the cheeks.

L'axe du volet roulant peut être couplé à un axe de moteur électrique, pour permettre à un utilisateur du système de procéder sans effort à un enroulement ou un déroulement du volet roulant, par contrôle de l'alimentation en énergie du moteur électrique.The axis of the shutter can be coupled to an electric motor shaft, for allow a user of the system to effortlessly carry out a winding or rolling shutter unwinding, by controlling the motor energy supply electric.

A cet effet, en cours d'installation d'un système à coffre-tunnel, des connexions électriques doivent être réalisées par un installateur entre le moteur et une source d'alimentation externe au coffre-tunnel. Ces connexions sont réalisées dans des conditions d'ergonomie précaires pour l'installateur, le coffre-tunnel étant alors For this purpose, during the installation of a tunnel-box system, connections must be made by an installer between the engine and a source external power supply to the tunnel box. These connections are made in precarious ergonomic conditions for the installer, the tunnel box then being

Dans l'état actuel de la technique, l'installateur doit réaliser, à l'intérieur du coffre-tunnel, des connexions individuelles entre chaque câble de raccordement au moteur électrique et chaque câble de raccordement à l'alimentation électrique associée. Une erreur de câblage résultera immanquablement en un dysfonctionnement du système ou une détérioration des composants électriques. Par ailleurs, pour des considérations esthétiques et des raisons de sécurité, les câbles ne doivent pas être apparents une fois l'installation du système terminée. Ces câbles sont ainsi en principe noyés dans du ciment dans une des phases finales de l'installation, au cours de laquelle les joues sont cimentées dans des parois latérales de l'embrasure. L'installateur doit donc prévoir une étanchéification des connexions qu'il aura réalisées à l'extérieur du coffre-tunnel.In the current state of the art, the installer must realize, within the tunnel box, individual connections between each connection cable to the electric motor and each connection cable to the power supply associated. A wiring error will inevitably result in a malfunction of the system or deterioration of the electrical components. Moreover, for aesthetic considerations and safety reasons, cables should not be apparent once the system installation is complete. These cables are thus in principle embedded in cement in one of the final phases of the installation, during which cheeks are cemented in side walls of the embrasure. The installer must therefore provide a sealing of the connections he will have carried out outside the tunnel box.

On connaít également par le document DE-A-34 15 551 un système de volet roulant pour fenêtres pivotantes. Le système comprend un caisson pour volet roulant dont les extrémités sont fermées par des joues et contre les faces internes desquelles sont fixés des manchons pour tenir les extrémités d'un axe de manoeuvre de volet roulant. Un moteur électrique est monté dans un des manchons pour l'entraínement en rotation de l'axe de manoeuvre. Le moteur électrique est muni d'un câble de raccordement électrique qui traverse le manchon et la joue correspondante et à l'extrémité libre duquel est raccordé, par l'inlermédiaire d'un boitier de commande, un câble de raccordement principal à une source de courant électrique. disposé au-dessus d'une embrasure, ce qui rend difficile tout accès à des câbles de raccordement au moteur électrique qui se trouveraient à l'intérieur du coffre-tunnel.Document DE-A-34 15 551 also discloses a rolling shutter system for pivoting windows. The system includes a box for rolling shutter whose ends are closed by cheeks and against the inner faces of which are fixed sleeves to hold the ends of a rolling shutter operating shaft. An electric motor is mounted in one of the sleeves for the drive in rotation of the maneuvering axis. The electric motor is equipped with an electrical connection cable that runs through the sleeve and the corresponding cheek and at the free end of which is connected, through a control box, a cable of main connection to a source of electrical power. placed above an embrasure, which makes it difficult to access connection to the electric motor that would be inside the tunnel box.

Il apparaít souhaitable de simplifier les opérations de branchement électrique d'installation d'un système à coffre-tunnel pour volet roulant, et, en particulier, de réduire autant que possible les risques d'erreur de câblage du moteur électrique.It seems desirable to simplify the electrical connection operations installation of a roller shutter box system, and in particular of reduce as much as possible the risk of incorrect wiring of the electric motor.

Dans ce but, la joue incluse dans un dispositif obturateur selon l'invention comporte au moins un logement apte à recevoir un bornier destiné à assurer une liaison électrique entre des câbles de raccordement au moteur électrique internes au coffre-tunnel, d'une part, et des câbles de raccordement à une alimentation électrique externes au coffre-tunnel, d'autre part.For this purpose, the cheek included in a shutter device according to the invention has at least one housing adapted to receive a terminal block intended to provide a electrical connection between connecting cables to the internal electric motor to the tunnel box, on the one hand, and connection cables to a power supply external to the tunnel box, on the other hand.

Un tel dispositif obturateur évitera à l'installateur d'avoir à rechercher dans le coffre-tunnel, au cours de l'installation, les câbles de raccordement au moteur électrique, ceux-ci étant en pratique déjà raccordés à un bornier facilement accessible à l'installateur, car disposé au niveau de la joue et donc sur une face latérale du coffre-tunnel. Une telle disposition limite considérablement les risques d'erreurs de câblage en cours d'installation. Par ailleurs, le bornier étant placé au sein même d'une joue, et donc en quelque sorte noyé dans la masse du dispositif obturateur, il sera plus facile de le faire disparaítre au cours des phases finales de l'installation, au cours desquelles tous les branchements électriques doivent être dissimulés.Such a shutter device will prevent the installer from having to search in the tunnel box, during installation, the connection cables to the motor these are in practice already connected to an easily accessible terminal block to the installer, because arranged at the level of the cheek and therefore on a side face of the tunnel box. Such a provision considerably limits the risk of wiring errors installing. Moreover, the terminal block being placed within a cheek itself, and so somehow drowned in the mass of the shutter device, it will be easier to make it disappear during the final stages of the installation, during which all electrical connections must be concealed.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, un dispositif obturateur tel que décrit ci-dessus inclut en outre un couvercle, destiné à être fixé sur une face interne de la joue et en vis-à-vis avec le logement. In a particular embodiment of the invention, a shutter device as described above further includes a cover, intended to be fixed on one side internal cheek and vis-à-vis with the housing.

Un tel couvercle permet d'assurer une étanchéité entre le logement du bornier et l'intérieur du coffre-tunnel. Ainsi, lorsque dans les phases finales de l'installation, les joues seront cimentées dans les parois latérales de l'embrasure, le couvercle empêchera toute propagation de ciment depuis l'extérieur vers l'intérieur du coffre-tunnel au travers du logement.Such a cover makes it possible to ensure a seal between the housing of the terminal block and inside the tunnel box. Thus, when in the final stages of the installation, the cheeks will be cemented into the side walls of the embrasure, the lid prevent any spread of cement from the outside to the inside of the tunnel box through housing.

Dans une autre variante de l'invention, le couvercle est fixé par vissage dans deux plots prévus en diagonale dans le logement.In another variant of the invention, the lid is screwed into two studs provided diagonally in the housing.

Dans une variante de l'invention, la joue comporte deux logements disposés de part et d'autre d'un axe de symétrie de la joue.In a variant of the invention, the cheek comprises two housings arranged on both sides of an axis of symmetry of the cheek.

Cette variante permet à l'installateur de choisir le côté du coffre-tunnel où le moteur électrique doit être placé, le bornier permettant le raccordement dudit moteur à l'alimentation électrique externe pouvant être placé d'un côté ou de l'autre de l'axe de symétrie de la joue, ce qui permet en fait d'utiliser un même modèle de joue pour réaliser un raccordement du moteur indifféremment d'un côté ou de l'autre du coffre-tunnel, et permet donc de simplifier la logistique d'installation du système.This variant allows the installer to choose the side of the tunnel box where the electric motor must be placed, the terminal block allowing the connection of the motor to the external power supply can be placed on either side of the axis of symmetry of the cheek, which allows in fact to use the same cheek model for make a connection of the motor indifferently to one side or the other of the tunnel box, and thus simplifies the logistics of system installation.

Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux de cette variante, la joue sera obtenue par moulage, et comportera sur une face interne deux parois sécables délimitant les logements aptes à recevoir le bornier.In an advantageous embodiment of this variant, the cheek will be obtained by molding, and will comprise on an inner face two breakable walls delimiting the housing able to receive the terminal block.

Ce mode de réalisation permet à l'installateur de choisir l'emplacement du bornier en brisant les contours de la paroi sécable du logement ainsi sélectionné, la paroi sécable restante assurant une étanchéité de la joue au niveau de l'autre logement.
   dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, chaque paroi secable est disposée dans un tube à paroi interne circulaire comportant au moins un cran permettant l'insertion et la retenue d'une gaine destinée à enfermer des câbles de raccordement à une source d'alimentation externe au coffre-tunnel . La gaine étant maintenue en place facilite alors l'insertion des câbles de raccordement à l'alimentation externe.This embodiment allows the installer to choose the location of the terminal block by breaking the contours of the breakable wall of the housing thus selected, the remaining breakable wall ensuring a seal of the cheek at the other housing.
in an advantageous embodiment, each separable wall is disposed in a circular inner wall tube having at least one notch for inserting and retaining a sheath for enclosing connection cables to an external power source. tunnel box. The sheath being held in place then facilitates the insertion of the connection cables to the external power supply.

Dans une autre variante de l'invention, les logements comportent respectivement une échancrure destinée à être chevauchée par une collerette pourvue d'une gorge d'un passe-câble, le passe-câble permettant d'enchâsser et de faire ressortir du logement les câbles de raccordement.In another variant of the invention, the housings comprise respectively an indentation intended to be overlapped by a collar provided with a groove in a cable grommet, the grommet for embedding and bringing out housing the connection cables.

Dans une autre variante de l'invention, le couvercle comporte une échancrure permettant de comprimer la gorge de la collerette à l'issue du montage du couvercle sur le logement de manière à pincer ledit passe-câble pour rendre étanche la sortie des câbles de raccordement. In another variant of the invention, the lid comprises a notch to compress the groove of the flange after fitting the lid on the housing so as to pinch said grommet to seal the outlet of the connecting cables.

Dans une autre variante de l'invention, le couvercle est pourvu d'un rebord comprenant une gorge permettant de recevoir un joint d'étanchéité apte à atteindre un niveau d'étanchéité requis entre l'intérieur du logement et l'intérieur du coffre-tunnel.In another variant of the invention, the lid is provided with a rim comprising a groove for receiving a seal capable of reaching a level of tightness required between the interior of the housing and the inside of the tunnel box.

Dans une autre variante de l'invention, qui peut être utilisée alternativement ou cumulativement avec la précédente, le dispositif obturateur inclut en outre une gaíne de guidage destinée à être fixée sur une face interne de la joue et à enfermer les câbles de raccordement au moteur électrique.In another variant of the invention, which can be used alternately or cumulatively with the previous one, the shutter device further includes a bracket guide intended to be fixed on an inner face of the cheek and to enclose the cables connection to the electric motor.

Une telle gaíne de guidage facilite l'installation du système à coffre-tunnel en ce sens que les câbles de raccordement du moteur électrique sont rassemblés sous forme d'un toron, ce qui évitera qu'ils ne s'accrochent et ne soient coupés dans des parties saillantes en mouvement du système, par exemple par les extrémités des lames du tablier lors de son enroulement ou lors de son déroulement.Such a guiding guide facilitates the installation of the tunnel trunk system in that meaning that the connecting cables of the electric motor are collected in form of a strand, which will prevent them from clinging and being cut into parts protruding motion of the system, for example by the ends of the blades of the apron during its winding or during its unwinding.

Cette gaine de guidage a préférentiellement une structure symétriqueThis guide sheath preferably has a symmetrical structure

Dans un mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, le bornier comporte une pluralité de connecteurs, chaque connecteur présentant deux orifices de guidage destinés à accueillir des extrémités dénudées de câbles entre lesquelles le connecteur assure une liaison électrique.In one embodiment of the invention, the terminal block comprises a plurality of connectors, each connector having two guide holes intended to accommodate stripped ends of cables between which the connector ensures an electrical connection.

Dans un mode de mise en oeuvre particulier de l'invention, chaque connecteur est muni de lamelles de pincement, associées aux orifices de guidage, destinées à maintenir les câbles en position par pincement des extrémités dénudées, et en ce que, chaque connecteur est en outre muni de deux orifices de contrôle, chacun associé à un orifice de guidage et autorisant le passage d'un objet destiné à exercer une pression sur la lamelle de pincement associée à l'orifice de guidage en vue de libérer un câble inséré dans ledit orifice.In a particular embodiment of the invention, each connector is provided with pinch blades, associated with the guide holes, for maintain the cables in position by pinching the stripped ends, and in that, each connector is further provided with two control orifices, each associated with a guiding orifice and allowing the passage of an object intended to exert pressure on the pinch blade associated with the guide hole to release a cable inserted into said hole.

Dans une variante d'un tel mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, un dispositif obturateur tel que décrit plus haut inclut en outre au moins une pince amovible apte à être fixée sur un connecteur de sorte qu'une extrémité de ladite pince soit alors positionnée dans l'orifice de contrôle et exerce une pression sur la lamelle de pincement.In a variant of such an embodiment of the invention, a device shutter as described above further includes at least one removable clip adapted to to be attached to a connector so that an end of said clamp is then positioned in the control port and exerts pressure on the pinch.

La pince amovible, lorsqu'elle est fixée sur un connecteur, permet à l'installateur d'avoir les mains libres pour réaliser le câblage dudit connecteur, ce qui réduit encore les risques d'erreur de câblage. The removable clip, when attached to a connector, allows the installer to have his hands free to carry out the wiring of the connector, which further reduces the risk of wiring errors.

Dans un autre mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, chaque connecteur comporte un moyen de fixation permettant sa fixation contre la face interne du couvercle.In another embodiment of the invention, each connector has a fixing means for fixing it against the inner face of the lid.

Un moyen de fixation intéressant et de type par clippage est constitué d'un doigt épaulé apte à être retenu par un crochet du couvercle.An interesting fixing means and type by clipping consists of a finger shouldered adapted to be retained by a hook of the cover.

Dans un autre mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, les connecteurs sont réalisés sous forme d'éléments séparés, chacun pouvant être associé latéralement à un autre. Un tel mode de mise en oeuvre permet à l'installateur de construire lui-même un bornier adapté au type de moteur inclus dans le système, en ajoutant ou en enlevant des connecteurs selon, par exemple, que ce moteur soit de type triphasé ou monophasé.In another embodiment of the invention, the connectors are made in the form of separate elements, each of which can be associated laterally with a other. Such a mode of implementation allows the installer to build himself a terminal block adapted to the type of motor included in the system, by adding or removing connectors according to, for example, that the motor is of three-phase type or phase.

Dans un mode de mise en oeuvre préféré de l'invention, chaque connecteur sera avantageusement revêtu d'une couleur spécifique et différente de celle des autres connecteurs.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each connector will be advantageously coated with a specific color and different from that of the others connectors.

On attribuera de préférence aux connecteurs des couleurs semblables à celles normalisées, des câbles entre lesquels ils doivent établir des liaisons électriques, comme par exemple une couleur verte pour un fil de terre ou rouge pour une phase.Connectors will preferably be assigned colors similar to those standardized, cables between which they must establish electrical connections, for example a green color for a ground wire or red for a phase.

Afin de permettre une commande à distance du système, on pourra en outre prévoir de munir la joue d'un autre logement destiné à accueillir un récepteur de signaux électromagnétiques, disposé entre le moteur électrique et le bornier, lequel récepteur est destiné à gérer, en fonction des signaux électromagnétiques reçus, l'alimentation électrique du moteur.In order to allow remote control of the system, it will also be possible to plan to provide the cheek with another housing intended to accommodate a electromagnetic signals, arranged between the electric motor and the terminal block, which receiver is intended to manage, based on the received electromagnetic signals, the power supply of the engine.

Enfin, l'invention concerne également, en tant que moyen essentiel pour sa mise en oeuvre, un bornier destiné à être utilisé dans un dispositif obturateur tel que décrit précédemment.Finally, the invention also relates, as an essential means for its implementation a terminal block intended to be used in a shutter device as described previously.

Les caractéristiques de l'invention mentionnées ci-dessus, ainsi que d'autres, apparaítront plus clairement à la lecture de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, ladite description étant faite en relation avec les dessins joints, parmi lesquels :

  • la Fig.1 est un schéma décrivant un système à coffre-tunnel pour volet roulant selon l'invention,
  • la Fig.2 est une vue en perspective d'un dispositif obturateur inclus dans un tel système,
  • la Fig.3 est une vue en perspective d'un bornier destiné à être utilisé dans un tel système,
  • la Fig.4 représente une pince destinée à coopérer avec un tel bornier, et
  • la Fig. 5 représente une vue en perspective d'un couvercle destiné à recouvrir un logement d'un dispositif obturateur un système à coffre-tunnel selon l'invention.
    • The characteristics of the invention mentioned above, as well as others, will appear more clearly on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment, said description being given in relation to the attached drawings, among which:
  • FIG. 1 is a diagram describing a roller shutter box system according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a shutter device included in such a system,
  • Fig.3 is a perspective view of a terminal block for use in such a system,
  • FIG. 4 represents a clamp intended to cooperate with such a terminal block, and
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a cover for covering a housing of a shutter device a tunnel trunk system according to the invention.

    • La Fig.1 représente schématiquement un système à coffre-tunnel pour volet roulant, lequel volet est destiné, en position fermée, à couvrir une embrasure destinée à abriter une ouverture OUV, dans cet exemple une fenêtre. Ce système inclut un coffre-tunnel CT constitué par exemple d'une coque moulée comportant un évidement en forme de tunnel dont une partie inférieure est ouverte pour permettre d'y loger le volet roulant. Le système comporte en outre des parties permettant de refermer des extrémités latérales du coffre-tunnel CT, dont au moins une est constituée par un dispositif obturateur DO conforme à l'invention, qui inclut une joue JO sensiblement parallèle à ladite extrémité.Fig.1 schematically represents a tunnel-box system for shutter rolling shutter, which shutter is intended, in the closed position, to cover an embrasure intended to to house an opening OUV, in this example a window. This system includes a Tunnel box CT consisting for example of a molded shell having a recess in the form of a tunnel, a lower part of which is open to accommodate the rolling shutter. The system further includes portions for closing lateral ends of the tunnel trunk CT, at least one of which is constituted by a shutter device DO according to the invention, which includes a substantially OJ cheek parallel to said end.

    Un axe AX du volet roulant est couplé à un moteur électrique MOT, lequel a ici la forme d'un disque coaxial avec l'axe du volet roulant, pour permettre à un utilisateur du système de procéder sans effort à un enroulement ou un déroulement du volet roulant, par contrôle de l'alimentation en énergie du moteur électrique.AX axis of the roller shutter is coupled to a MOT electric motor, which has here the shape of a disc coaxial with the axis of the shutter, to allow a system user to effortlessly proceed to a winding or unfolding of the rolling shutter, by controlling the power supply of the electric motor.

    Les connexions électriques nécessaires entre des câbles de raccordement CM au moteur électrique MOT et des câbles de raccordement CA à une source d'alimentation ALIM externe au coffre-tunnel CT sont réalisées au moyen d'un bornier BO, par exemple, de type WAGO®. Conformément à l'invention, ce bornier BO est intégré dans un logement LG pratiqué dans la joue JO du dispositif obturateur DO.The necessary electrical connections between connecting cables CM to MOT electric motor and AC connecting cables to a power source ALIM external to the tunnel trunk CT are realized by means of a terminal block BO, by example, WAGO® type. According to the invention, this terminal block BO is integrated in a housing LG practiced in the cheek JO of the shutter device DO.

    Une telle configuration du dispositif obturateur DO évite à un installateur du système d'avoir à rechercher dans le coffre-tunnel CT, au cours de l'installation, les câbles de raccordement CM au moteur électrique MOT, ceux-ci étant en pratique déjà raccordés à un bornier facilement accessible à l'installateur, car disposé au niveau de la joue JO et donc sur une face latérale du coffre-tunnel CT. Une telle diposition limite considérablement les risques d'erreurs de câblage en cours d'installation. Par ailleurs, le bornier BO étant placé au sein même de la joue JO, et donc en quelque sorte noyé dans la masse du dispositif obturateur DO, il sera aisé de le faire disparaítre au cours des phases finales de l'installation, au cours desquelles tous les branchements électriques doivent être dissimulés. Such a configuration of the shutter device DO prevents an installer from system to have to search in the tunnel trunk CT, during installation, the connection cables CM to MOT electric motor, these being in practice already connected to a terminal block easily accessible to the installer, as arranged at the level of the JO cheek and therefore on a side face of the CT tunnel trunk. Such a limitation considerably the risk of wiring errors during installation. Otherwise, the terminal block BO being placed within the same cheek OJ, and so somehow drowned in the mass of the shutter device DO, it will be easy to make it disappear during final stages of the installation, during which all connections electrical devices must be concealed.

    La Fig.2 représente plus en détails un dispositif obturateur DO selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention. Ce dispositif obturateur DO, destiné à s'emboíter dans une extrémité latérale du coffre-tunnel, inclut une joue JO, destinée à recouvrir ladite extrémité, et un talon TA, sensiblement perpendiculaire à ladite joue JO. Il apparaít clairement que la joue JO présente, dans ce mode de réalisation de l'invention, un axe de symétrie non représenté dans le souci de ne pas alourdir le schéma. La joue JO comporte deux logements LG1 et LG2, disposés de part et d'autre de cet axe de symétrie. Les logements LG1 et LG2 ont fonction de boíte de dérivation et sont, à ce titre, aptes à recevoir un bornier destiné à assurer une liaison électrique entre des câbles de raccordement au moteur électrique internes au coffre-tunnel, d'une part, et des câbles de raccordement à une alimentation électrique externes au coffre-tunnel, d'autre part. Ceci permet à l'installateur de choisir le côté du coffre-tunnel où le moteur électrique doit être placé, le bornier qui permet le raccordement dudit moteur à l'alimentation électrique externe pouvant être placé d'un côté ou de l'autre de l'axe de symétrie de la joue JO, ce qui permet en fait d'utiliser un même modèle de joue JO pour réaliser un raccordement du moteur indifféremment d'un côté ou de l'autre du coffre-tunnel, et permet donc de simplifier la logistique d'installation du système.FIG. 2 represents in more detail a shutter device DO according to a mode of particular embodiment of the invention. This shutter device DO, intended to fit together in a lateral end of the tunnel box, includes a cheek JO, intended to cover said end, and a heel TA, substantially perpendicular to said cheek OJ. he it is clear that the OJ play presents, in this embodiment of the invention, an axis of symmetry not shown for the sake of not weighing down the diagram. The JO cheek has two lodgings LG1 and LG2, arranged on both sides of this axis of symmetry. The LG1 and LG2 housing have the function of a junction box and are, as such, able to receive a terminal block intended to provide an electrical connection between the electrical motor connection cables inside the tunnel box, a part, and cables for connection to a power supply external to the tunnel box, on the other hand. This allows the installer to choose the side of the tunnel box where the electric motor must be placed, the terminal block that allows the connection of the motor with external power supply that can be placed on one side or the other of the axis of symmetry of the JO cheek, which allows in fact to use the same model of plays JO to make a motor connection indifferently on one side or the other one of the tunnel box, and thus makes it possible to simplify the logistics of installation of the system.

    Dans l'exemple représenté ici, le logement LG2 a été choisi par l'utilisateur pour abriter le bornier. Ce logement LG2 est recouvert par un couvercle CV destiné à être fixé sur le logement LG2, de préférence par vissage dans deux plots prévus en diagonale dans chaque logement LG1 et LG2. Le couvercle CV est destiné à assurer une étanchéité entre ledit logement LG2 et l'intérieur du coffre-tunnel, de sorte que, l'humidité pouvant être présente à l'extérieur du coffre tunnel ne puisse pénétrer dans celui-ci par l'intermédiaire de la joue JO.In the example shown here, the LG2 slot was chosen by the user to house the terminal block. This housing LG2 is covered by a cover CV intended for to be fixed on the housing LG2, preferably by screwing in two studs provided in diagonal in each housing LG1 and LG2. The CV cover is intended to ensure a seal between said LG2 housing and the inside of the tunnel box, so that, moisture that may be present outside the tunnel box can not penetrate this one through the JO cheek.

    La joue JO sera le plus souvent réalisée par moulage, et comportera alors avantageusement sur sa face interne des parois sécables délimitant les logements LG1 et LG2 aptes à recevoir le bornier. Ceci permettra à l'installateur de choisir l'emplacement du bornier en brisant les contours de la paroi sécable du logement sélectionné, la paroi sécable restante assurant une étanchéité de la joue JO au niveau de l'autre logement.The JO cheek will most often be made by molding, and will then include advantageously on its inner side of the breakable walls delimiting the housing LG1 and LG2 able to receive the terminal block. This will allow the installer to choose the location of the terminal block by breaking the contours of the breakable wall of the housing selected, the remaining breakable wall ensuring a tightness of the cheek OJ level from the other dwelling.

    Dans le mode de réalisation de l'invention décrit ici, la joue JO comporte des orifices OXT délimités respectivement et de préférence dans des tubes TU à parois internes circulaires, dépassant de chaque coté de la joue JO, et dont un seul est visible sur cette vue en perspective, l'autre étant caché par le couvercle CV. Ces orifices seront avantageusement obstrués par des parois évitant l'infiltration d'un liant, tel du ciment, utilisé lors de la mise en place du coffre-tunnel dans la maçonnerieIn the embodiment of the invention described here, the OJ play includes OXT orifices delimited respectively and preferably in walled TU tubes internal circular, protruding on each side of the cheek JO, and only one is visible in this perspective view, the other being hidden by the lid CV. These holes will advantageously be obstructed by walls avoiding the infiltration of a binder, such as cement, used when setting up the tunnel box in the masonry

    Ces parois sont du type sécable, les contours d'une seule de ces parois devant être brisés pour autoriser le passage d'une gaíne dans laquelle seront enfilés des câbles de raccordement à l'alimentation externe et qu'il convient de positionner du côté du mur en attente de recevoir le doublage isolant intérieur du bâtiment.These walls are of the breakable type, the outlines of only one of these walls in front of be broken to allow the passage of a string in which cables will be threaded connection to the external power supply and which should be positioned on the wall waiting to receive the insulating lining inside the building.

    Dans cette représentation du dispositif obturateur, les parois sécables du logement LG1 et du seul orifice visible OXT ont disparu de manière à permettre de visualiser la géométrie intérieure dudit logement LG1. En pratique, le deuxième logement LG2 ayant été choisi pour abriter le bornier car étant celui dont l'orifice débouche du côté du mur en attente de recevoir le doublage isolant intérieur du bâtiment. Un couvercle CV recouvre ledit logement LG2, le logement LG1 et son orifice OXT associé seront hermétiquement fermés par des parois sécables intactes.In this representation of the shutter device, the breakable walls of the LG1 housing and the only visible hole OXT have disappeared so as to allow visualize the inner geometry of said LG1 housing. In practice, the second housing LG2 having been chosen to house the terminal block because being the one whose orifice opens on the side of the wall waiting to receive the insulating lining inside the building. A cover CV covers said housing LG2, housing LG1 and its OXT port associated will be hermetically sealed by intact breakable walls.

    Les tubes TU présentent des parois internes qui comportent avantageusement au moins un cran CR afin d'assurer un maintien en position de la gaíne de câbles destinés à les traverser. Il convient à cet effet de briser les contours de la paroi sécable de l'orifice du logement LG2 et d'enfiler la gaíne dans l'orifice du logement LG2 de manière à ce que le cran CR soit positionné entre deux anneaux de ladite gaíne. Avantageusement trois crans sont prévus dans chaque tube TU. Ce maintien en place de la gaíne permet de maintenir une étanchéité à l'air et à l'humidité entre l'intérieur du coffre-tunnel et le doublage isolant intérieur du bâtiment.TU tubes have internal walls which advantageously have the minus one notch CR to ensure a maintenance in position of the string of cables intended to cross them. It is appropriate for this purpose to break the contours of the breakable wall of the opening of the housing LG2 and put the gear in the hole of housing LG2 of so that the notch CR is positioned between two rings of said pin. Advantageously three notches are provided in each tube TU. This hold in place the gasket maintains airtightness and moisture between the inside of the tunnel box and the insulation lining inside the building.

    Chaque logement LG1 ou LG2 comporte dans une paroi orientée vers l'axe vertical de la joue JO une échancrure EC, prévue pour recevoir un passe-câble non représenté, qui permet d'enchâsser et de faire ressortir du logement LG1 ou LG2 les câbles de raccordement CM au moteur électrique MOT. De manière plus précise, cette échancrure EC peut être chevauchée par une collerette pourvue d'une gorge du passe-câble.Each housing LG1 or LG2 has in a wall oriented towards the axis vertical of the cheek OJ EC notch, provided to receive a non-slip represented, which allows the LG1 or LG2 housing to be connection cables CM to MOT electric motor. More precisely, this EC notch can be overlapped by a flange provided with a groove of the cable gland.

    Le couvercle CV, représenté à la Fig. 5, comporte également une échancrure EC1 permettant de comprimer la gorge de la collerette à l'issue du montage du couvercle CV sur le logement LG1 ou LG2 de manière à pincer ledit passe-câble pour rendre étanche la sortie des câbles de raccordement CM au moteur électrique MOT.The cover CV, shown in FIG. 5, also has a notch EC1 for compressing the groove of the flange after assembly of the CV cover on the housing LG1 or LG2 so as to pinch said grommet for Seal the output of the CM connection cables to the MOT electric motor.

    A la Fig. 2, le dispositif obturateur DO inclut en outre une gaíne de guidage GA, fixée sur la face interne de la joue JO et destinée à enfermer les câbles de raccordement au moteur électrique. Cette gaíne de guidage GA permet de rassembler les câbles de raccordement du moteur électrique sous forme d'un toron, ce qui évitera qu'ils ne s'accrochent et ne soient coupés dans des parties saillantes en mouvement du système, par exemple par les extrémités des lames du tablier lors de son enroulement ou lors de son déroulement. La gaíne de guidage GA est avantageusement fixée par vissage sur la face interne de la joue JO dans des réservations prévues, par ailleurs, sur la face interne de ladite joue JO. On remarquera également que la gaíne de guidage GA a une structure symétrique permettant son montage indifféremment suivant l'axe de symétrie de la joue JO.In FIG. 2, the shutter device DO further includes a guide guide GA, attached to the inner face of the JO cheek and intended to enclose the cables of connection to the electric motor. This guide GA GA can gather the cables for connecting the electric motor in the form of a strand, which will avoid that they do not cling and are cut in protruding parts in motion of the system, for example by the ends of the apron blades during its winding or during its course. The guiding guide GA is advantageously fixed by screwing on the inner face of the OJ cheek in planned reservations, moreover, on the inner face of said JO cheek. It will also be noted that the guiding light GA has a symmetrical structure allowing its assembly indifferently according to the axis of symmetry of the JO cheek.

    On remarquera la présence d'un troisième logement LG3 destiné à accueillir un récepteur de signaux électromagnétiques, et qui est disposé entre le moteur électrique et le bornier. Ce récepteur gérera, en fonction des signaux électromagnétiques reçus, l'alimentation électrique du moteur.Note the presence of a third LG3 housing intended to accommodate a receiver of electromagnetic signals, and which is arranged between the electric motor and the terminal block. This receiver will manage, according to the electromagnetic signals received, the power supply of the engine.

    La Fig. 3 est une vue en perspective d'un bornier BO conforme à un mode de mise en oeuvre préféré de l'invention. Ce bornier BO comporte ici deux connecteurs CNT1 et CNT2, chacun présentant deux orifices de guidage OGA et OGM destinés à accueillir des extrémités dénudées de câbles CA1 et CM1 entre lesquels le connecteur doit assurer une liaison électrique. Chaque connecteur CNT1 et CNT2 est muni de lamelles de pincement LM, associées aux orifices de guidage OGA et OGM, destinées à maintenir les câbles en position par pincement des extrémités dénudées. Chaque connecteur CNT1 et CNT2 est en outre muni de deux orifices de contrôle OL, chacun associé à un orifice de guidage OGA ou OGM et autorisant le passage d'un objet OBJ destiné à exercer une pression sur la lamelle de pincement LM associée à l'orifice de guidage OGA ou OGM en vue d'introduire ou de libérer un câble dans ledit orifice. Les connecteurs CNT1 et CNT2 sont réalisés sous forme d'éléments séparés, chacun pouvant être associé latéralement à un autre connecteur par un liaison non représentée.Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a terminal block BO according to a mode of preferred embodiment of the invention. This terminal block BO here comprises two connectors CNT1 and CNT2, each with two OGA and OGM guide ports for accept stripped ends of cables CA1 and CM1 between which the connector must provide an electrical connection. Each CNT1 and CNT2 connector is equipped with LM pinch plates, associated with the OGA and OGM guide holes, intended to hold the cables in position by pinching the stripped ends. Each The CNT1 and CNT2 connectors are furthermore equipped with two OL control ports, each associated with an OGA or OGM guide hole and allowing the passage of an OBJ object intended to exert pressure on the pinch lamella LM associated with the orifice of OGA or OGM guidance for introducing or releasing a cable into said orifice. The connectors CNT1 and CNT2 are made as separate elements, each can be associated laterally to another connector by a link not shown.

    Un tel mode de réalisation du bornier BO permet à l'installateur de construire lui-même un bornier adapté au type de moteur inclus dans le système, en ajoutant ou en enlevant des connecteurs selon, par exemple, que ce moteur soit de type triphasé ou monophasé.Such an embodiment of the terminal block BO allows the installer to build itself a terminal block adapted to the type of motor included in the system, by adding or by removing connectors according to, for example, that this motor is of three-phase type or phase.

    Chaque connecteur CNT 1 ou CNT2 comporte également un moyen de fixation MF permettant sa fixation contre la face interne d'un couvercle CV représenté à la Fig. 5. Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, le moyen de fixation MF est de type par clippage. Il est constitué, à la Fig. 3, d'un doigt épaulé DE apte à être retenu par un crochet CH du couvercle CV visible à la Fig. 5. A la Fig. 3, on notera que le doigt épaulé DE possède une flexibilité permettant son retrait du crochet CH. Cette particularité permet de livrer des coffre-tunnels dont une partie des branchements électriques est déjà réalisée. Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, jusqu'à cinq connecteurs CNT peuvent de la sorte être montés dans le couvercle CV.Each CNT 1 or CNT2 connector also comprises a fixing means MF allowing its attachment against the inner face of a lid CV shown in FIG. 5. In a preferred embodiment, the fixing means MF is of the type clipping. It is constituted in FIG. 3, a stepped finger DE able to be retained by a CH hook cover CV shown in FIG. 5. In FIG. 3, note that the finger stepped DE has a flexibility allowing its withdrawal from the hook CH. This particularity allows to deliver tunnels including some of the connections electric is already done. In an advantageous embodiment, up to five CNT connectors can be mounted in the CV cover.

    Le couvercle CV est également pourvu d'un rebord RD destiné à être appliqué à la périphérie d'un logement LG1 ou LG2. Ce rebord RD comprend une gorge GO permettant de recevoir un joint d'étanchéité, par exemple de type torique, apte à atteindre un niveau d'étanchéité requis entre l'intérieur du logement LG1 ou LG2 et l'intérieur du coffre-tunnel.The cover CV is also provided with an edge RD intended to be applied to the periphery of a LG1 or LG2 housing. This RD edge includes a GO throat allowing to receive a seal, for example of toric type, suitable for achieve a required level of tightness between the interior of the LG1 or LG2 housing and inside the tunnel box.

    On choisira avantageusement de fabriquer chaque connecteur CNT1 et CNT2 dans une couleur spécifique, différente de celle de l'autre connecteur, et semblable à celle, normalisée, des câbles entre lesquels il doit établir une liaison électrique, comme par exemple une couleur verte pour des fils de terre ou rouge pour des fils de phase.We will advantageously choose to manufacture each connector CNT1 and CNT2 in a specific color, different from that of the other connector, and similar to the standardized one of the cables between which it must establish an electrical connection, like for example a green color for ground wires or red for wires of phase.

    La Fig.4 représente une pince amovible PCA, dont sera avantageusement muni le dispositif obturateur, laquelle pince amovible PCA est apte à être fixée sur un connecteur de sorte qu'une extrémité de ladite pince soit alors positionnée dans un orifice de contrôle et exerce une pression sur une lamelle de pincement afin d'ouvrir un orifice de guidage associé. La pince amovible PCA, lorsqu'elle est fixée sur un connecteur, permet à l'installateur d'avoir les mains libres pour réaliser le câblage dudit connecteur, ce qui réduit encore les risques d'erreur de câblage.FIG. 4 represents a removable clip PCA, which will advantageously be provided with the shutter device, which PCA removable clip is adapted to be fixed on a connector so that one end of said clamp is then positioned in a control port and exerts pressure on a pinch slide to open an associated guide hole.
