Description
"Dispositif de régulation de l'ensoleillement" "Device for regulating sunshine"
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de régulation, modulation, répartition de l'ensoleillement comportant une structure de support d'une couverture d'un espace à protéger du soleil et des moyens d'actionnement de la couverture dans un mouvement périodique situé dans son plan. Cette invention trouvera particulièrement son application dans le domaine des accessoires de jardin, de piscine, de plage et d'espace loisir pour réaliser du mobilier d'extérieur.The present invention relates to a device for regulating, modulating, distributing the sunshine, comprising a structure for supporting a cover of a space to be protected from the sun and means for actuating the cover in a periodic movement situated in its plane. . This invention will particularly find its application in the field of garden, swimming pool, beach and leisure space accessories for making outdoor furniture.
Elle pourra également être employée dans le domaine horticole, pour la couverture de locaux tels des serres. Le document FR-A-2.747.707 présente un dispositif de toiture permettant de créer une surface à taux d'ensoleillement réglable et le répartissant uniformément caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué d'une couche de claire-voie à lamelles sur laquelle coulisse une autre couche constituée d'une ou plusieurs claire-voie à lamelles, le décalage entre les claire-voie étant réglable et l'ensemble claire-voie étant relié à un moyen permettant de l'animer d'un mouvement de va et vient.It can also be used in the horticultural field, to cover premises such as greenhouses. Document FR-A-2,747,707 presents a roofing device making it possible to create a surface with an adjustable sunshine rate and distributing it uniformly, characterized in that it consists of a layer of slatted skeleton on which slides another layer consisting of one or more lamellar skylights, the offset between the skylights being adjustable and the skylight assembly being connected to a means making it possible to animate it back and forth.
La toiture selon ce document a l'avantage de répartir l'ensoleillement et de permettre le réglage de la largeur de passage de la lumière.The roof according to this document has the advantage of distributing the sunshine and of allowing the adjustment of the width of passage of the light.
Cela étant, il s'agit d'une toiture à structure lourde constituée d'une pluralité de lames assemblées sur un châssis métallique.
La puissance de la motorisation est dimensionnée en conséquence du poids de l'ensemble.However, it is a heavy structure roof consisting of a plurality of blades assembled on a metal frame. The power of the motorization is dimensioned accordingly to the weight of the assembly.
Bien qu'avantageux pour constituer un accessoire d'un immeuble tel une couverture de véranda ou d'une terrasse, la toiture selon ce document présente des limites.Although advantageous for constituting an accessory to a building such as a veranda or terrace cover, the roofing according to this document has limits.
Il s'agit en effet d'une technique chère nécessitant une motorisation encombrante et relativement puissante.It is indeed an expensive technique requiring a bulky and relatively powerful motorization.
Un tel ensemble ne peut d'ailleurs pas être facilement déplacé.Such an assembly cannot moreover be easily moved.
La présente invention permet de remédier aux inconvénients des techniques connues jusqu'alors et présente pour ce faire un dispositif nouveau qui a l'avantage d'obtenir le résultat de réglage et de répartition du taux d'ensoleillement tout en constituant un ensemble léger, transportable, peu coûteux et facilement démontable.The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the techniques known hitherto and presents a new device for this purpose which has the advantage of obtaining the result of adjustment and distribution of the amount of sunshine while constituting a light, transportable assembly. , inexpensive and easily removable.
Qui plus est, en conséquence de la légèreté de l'ensemble, la motorisation sera également largement moins puissante.What is more, as a result of the lightness of the whole, the engine will also be considerably less powerful.
Contrairement à un préjugé constant dans le domaine des couvertures notamment pour des terrasses, la présente invention utilise une ou plusieurs nappes qui ont l'avantage d'être légères et de réaliser dans un seul élément les différentes bandes jusqu'alors réalisées par des lames assemblées à claire-voie. Outre cette optimisation de poids et la rationalisation pour la fabrication, les nappes utilisées selon l'invention ont l'avantage de démultiplier les caractéristiques de transmission lumineuse que l'on peut donner à la couverture.Contrary to a constant prejudice in the field of roofing in particular for terraces, the present invention uses one or more plies which have the advantage of being light and of producing in a single element the various strips hitherto produced by assembled blades openwork. In addition to this weight optimization and rationalization for manufacturing, the sheets used according to the invention have the advantage of multiplying the light transmission characteristics that can be given to the cover.
En effet, les bandes alternées peuvent avoir des caractéristiques variables de transmission lumineuse et ne pas être simplement constituées par des jours puis des pleins totalement opaques à la lumière.Indeed, the alternating bands can have variable characteristics of light transmission and not be simply constituted by days then full, completely opaque to light.
Ainsi, les bandes alternées pourront être des zones d'un textile de mailles à dimension variable ou encore des zones en matière plastique transparente protégeant des précipitations tout en assurant le passage de la lumière.Thus, the alternating bands may be zones of a mesh fabric of variable size or else zones of transparent plastic material protecting from precipitation while ensuring the passage of light.
On peut donc envisager de très nombreuses variations quant au type de couverture de l'espace à protéger du soleil.We can therefore envisage many variations as to the type of space coverage to be protected from the sun.
Compte tenu de son poids limité, l'invention donne aussi une grande liberté dans la conception du support, qui peut par exemple comprendre de 1 à 6 pieds, selon les besoins et l'apparence souhaitée.
D'autres buts et avantages apparaîtront au cours de la description qui suit qui présente des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention qui n'en sont cependant pas limitatifs.Given its limited weight, the invention also gives great freedom in the design of the support, which can for example include from 1 to 6 feet, depending on the needs and the desired appearance. Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following description which presents preferred embodiments of the invention which are not, however, limiting.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de régulation de l'ensoleillement comportant une structure de support d'une couverture de l'espace à protéger du soleil et des moyens d'actionnement de la couverture dans un mouvement périodique situé dans son plan, caractérisé par le fait que la couverture comporte au moins une nappe présentant, selon une répartition prédéterminée, des zones d'au moins deux types différant par leurs propriétés de transmission lumineuse. Le dispositif de régulation peut se présenter selon les variantes suivantes :The present invention relates to a device for regulating the sunshine comprising a structure for supporting a cover of the space to be protected from the sun and means for actuating the cover in a periodic movement situated in its plane, characterized by the fact that the cover comprises at least one ply having, according to a predetermined distribution, zones of at least two types differing in their light transmission properties. The regulation device can be presented in the following variants:
- les zones réparties sont des bandes parallèles et alternées de deux types différents ;- the distributed areas are parallel and alternating bands of two different types;
- les moyens d'actionnement comportent un moteur à excentrique relié par une bielle à l'un des bords de la nappe ; - la nappe est fixée à la structure par des liens élastiques ;- The actuating means comprise an eccentric motor connected by a connecting rod to one of the edges of the sheet; - the sheet is fixed to the structure by elastic ties;
- il comporte des moyens d'opacification d'au moins une partie de la surface des zones de l'un des types ;- It comprises means of opacification of at least part of the surface of the zones of one of the types;
- les moyens d'opacification sont une seconde nappe, animée du même mouvement que la première et présentant, selon la même répartition, des zones d'au moins deux types différant par leurs propriétés de transmission lumineuse, la seconde nappe étant décalée latéralement par rapport à la première ;the opacification means are a second sheet, animated by the same movement as the first and having, according to the same distribution, zones of at least two types differing in their light transmission properties, the second sheet being laterally offset with respect to to the first ;
- la seconde nappe est fixée à la première par des moyens de fixation réglables latéralement.- The second layer is fixed to the first by means of fixing means which can be adjusted laterally.
Les dessins ci-joints sont donnés à titre d'exemples indicatifs et non limitatifs. Ils représentent un mode de réalisation préféré selon l'invention. Ils permettront de comprendre aisément l'invention.The attached drawings are given as indicative and non-limiting examples. They represent a preferred embodiment according to the invention. They will allow the invention to be easily understood.
La figure 1 montre une vue générale d'un dispositif selon l'invention dans un premier mode de réalisation.Figure 1 shows a general view of a device according to the invention in a first embodiment.
La figure 2 illustre une possibilité de moyens d'actionnement de la couverture.FIG. 2 illustrates a possibility of means for actuating the cover.
La figure 3 montre une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention.Figure 3 shows another alternative embodiment of the invention.
La figure 4 illustre une autre possibilité de réalisation de l'invention.Figure 4 illustrates another possible embodiment of the invention.
Un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention est présenté en figure 1.
A cette figure, une structure de support 1 est constituée pour maintenir une couverture réalisée par une nappe 2.A first embodiment of the invention is presented in FIG. 1. In this figure, a support structure 1 is formed to maintain a cover produced by a sheet 2.
Dans le cas de cette figure, la structure de support 1 comprend un cadre 10 entourant la nappe 2 ainsi que plusieurs pieds 11 réalisant des montants verticaux de support du cadre 10.In the case of this figure, the support structure 1 comprises a frame 10 surrounding the ply 2 as well as several feet 11 forming vertical support uprights for the frame 10.
Dans le cas de l'exemple, quatre pieds 11 sont constitués mais cette possibilité n'est pas limitative et on pourra simplement réaliser un ensemble par exemple à partir d'un ou deux pieds 11 et d'un cadre 10 en porte à faux sur le ou les deux pieds 11. Le ou les pieds 11 sont éventuellement inclinables ou composés en deux parties pivotantes pour modifier l'inclinaison de la couverture.In the case of the example, four feet 11 are formed but this possibility is not limiting and we can simply make a set for example from one or two feet 11 and a frame 10 cantilevered over one or both feet 11. The foot (s) 11 can be tilted or made up of two pivoting parts to modify the inclination of the cover.
Des moyens de liaison sont constitués entre le cadre 10 et la nappe 2 tout en lui préservant une liberté de mouvement dans le plan de la nappe 2.Connection means are formed between the frame 10 and the ply 2 while preserving freedom of movement in the plane of the ply 2.
A cet effet, des liens élastiques 7 par exemple constitués par des bandes de caoutchouc pourront être utilisés.For this purpose, elastic links 7 for example constituted by rubber bands may be used.
La déformation élastique des liens 7 assurent la liberté de mouvement de la nappe 2.The elastic deformation of the links 7 provide freedom of movement of the ply 2.
Selon une variante, la couverture intègre un châssis d'encadrement de la nappe qui en est solidaire. C'est alors le châssis d'encadrement qui est rapporté, par des liens élastiques sur le cadre 10.According to a variant, the cover incorporates a frame for framing the sheet which is integral therewith. It is then the framing chassis which is added, by elastic links on the frame 10.
Divers matériaux peuvent servir à constituer la nappe 2. En particulier, une feuille de matière plastique peut être employée tout comme une nappe en matière textile tissée ou non.Various materials can be used to form the sheet 2. In particular, a plastic sheet can be used just like a sheet of woven or non-woven textile material.
Selon l'invention, la nappe 2 comprend différentes zones aux propriétés de transmission lumineuse différentes.According to the invention, the sheet 2 comprises different zones with different light transmission properties.
Dans l'exemple de la figure 1 , on réalise des zones 3 comportant un type A de caractéristiques de transmission lumineuse et des zones 4 comportant un type B de caractéristiques de transmission lumineuse.In the example of FIG. 1, zones 3 comprising a type A of light transmission characteristics and zones 4 comprising a type B of light transmission characteristics are produced.
Dans le cas le plus simple, les zones 3 sont des surfaces opaques, empêchant toute transmission lumineuse et les zones 4 sont des jours constitués dans la nappe 2 et assurant une transmission totale des rayons lumineux.In the simplest case, the zones 3 are opaque surfaces, preventing any light transmission and the zones 4 are formed in the sheet 2 for days and ensuring total transmission of the light rays.
Dans ce cas élémentaire, les zones 4 peuvent être réalisées par simple découpe dans la nappe 2 initialement constituée par une surface continue opaque.
Cela étant, toute variation quant au type de zones 3 et 4, peut être envisagée.In this elementary case, the zones 4 can be produced by simple cutting in the sheet 2 initially constituted by an opaque continuous surface. However, any variation in the type of zones 3 and 4 can be considered.
Par exemple, les zones 4 peuvent être réalisées en matière plastique transparente assurant uniquement le passage des rayons lumineux sans ouvrir la couverture à l'extérieur.For example, zones 4 can be made of transparent plastic material ensuring only the passage of light rays without opening the cover to the outside.
Selon une autre possibilité, les zones 4 sont réalisées avec un maillage plus large que les zones 3 dans une nappe en matière textile.According to another possibility, zones 4 are produced with a larger mesh than zones 3 in a web of textile material.
D'autres variations sont également envisageables sans sortir du cadre de l'invention en ce qui concerne la forme et la répartition des zones 3, 4. En effet, il pourra s'agir de bandes alternées comme dans le cas de la figureOther variations can also be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention with regard to the shape and distribution of the zones 3, 4. In fact, it may be alternating bands as in the case of the figure
1 ou de toute autre forme telle des trous circulaires répartis de façon déterminée.1 or any other shape such as circular holes distributed in a determined manner.
Tel qu'indiqué précédemment, la constitution de la couverture au moyen d'une nappe 2 a l'avantage de réaliser un ensemble léger.As indicated above, the constitution of the cover by means of a ply 2 has the advantage of producing a light assembly.
Une conséquence de cette légèreté est que diverses possibilités de motorisation sont envisageables et ce, avec une puissance limitée.A consequence of this lightness is that various possibilities of motorization are possible and this, with a limited power.
Les moyens d'actionnement ont pour fonction d'animer la nappe 2 dans un mouvement sensiblement réalisé dans son plan afin de modifier au cours du temps la position des zones 3 et 4 pour répartir l'ensoleillement dans l'espace couvert par le dispositif. Le mouvement occasionné peut être un mouvement de va et vient par un système alternatif mais un système rotatif autour d'un axe est également envisageable.The actuation means have the function of animating the sheet 2 in a movement substantially carried out in its plane in order to modify over time the position of the zones 3 and 4 in order to distribute the sunshine in the space covered by the device. The movement caused can be a back and forth movement by an alternative system but a rotary system around an axis is also possible.
Dans le mode de réalisation illustré particulièrement à la figure 2, les moyens d'actionnement comprennent un moteur à excentrique 5 dont l'arbre moteur est relié par une bielle 6 à un bord de la nappe 2.In the embodiment particularly illustrated in FIG. 2, the actuating means comprise an eccentric motor 5 whose motor shaft is connected by a connecting rod 6 to an edge of the ply 2.
La rotation du moteur 5 engendre, par un système bielle-manivelle un mouvement alterné plan de la nappe 2 par rapport au châssis 10.The rotation of the motor 5 generates, by a connecting rod-crank system, an alternating plane movement of the ply 2 relative to the chassis 10.
Le cas illustré à la figure 1 permet une répartition du taux d'ensoleillement, (dans l'espace couvert) au cours du temps. De façon avantageuse, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte en outre des moyens d'opacification au moins partielle de la surface des zones 3, 4 de l'un des types A, B.The case illustrated in Figure 1 allows a distribution of the sunshine rate (in the covered space) over time. Advantageously, the device according to the invention further comprises means of at least partial opacification of the surface of the zones 3, 4 of one of the types A, B.
En effet, suivant l'intensité du soleil ou les souhaits de l'utilisateur, on peut augmenter ou diminuer les propriétés de transmission lumineuse de la couverture.
A cet effet, des moyens d'opacification d'une partie de la surface de l'un des types A, B des zones 3, 4 sont constitués.Indeed, according to the intensity of the sun or the wishes of the user, one can increase or decrease the light transmission properties of the cover. To this end, means for opacifying a part of the surface of one of the types A, B of zones 3, 4 are formed.
Les figures 3 et 4 illustrent deux variantes de réalisation de moyens d'opacification. Dans le cas de la figure 3, une seconde nappe 8 est superposée à la nappeFigures 3 and 4 illustrate two alternative embodiments of opacification means. In the case of FIG. 3, a second ply 8 is superimposed on the ply
2 tout en présentant des zones 3, 4 suivant la même répartition.2 while presenting zones 3, 4 according to the same distribution.
Deux nappes 2, 8 sont ainsi constituées de façon similaire et parallèle, en superposition.Two layers 2, 8 are thus formed in a similar and parallel manner, in superposition.
En décalant latéralement la position des zones 3, 4 de la nappe 2 par rapport à celles de la nappe 8, on réalise une modification des propriétés de transmission lumineuse de l'ensemble.By laterally shifting the position of the zones 3, 4 of the sheet 2 relative to those of the sheet 8, a modification is made to the light transmission properties of the assembly.
Ainsi, si les zones 4 des nappes 2 et 8 sont parfaitement en vis à vis, les propriétés de transmission lumineuse seront maximale alors que si elles sont décalées d'une largeur correspondante à la largeur d'espacement de deux zones 4, le taux de transmission lumineuse sera le plus faible.Thus, if the zones 4 of the layers 2 and 8 are perfectly opposite, the light transmission properties will be maximum whereas if they are offset by a width corresponding to the spacing width of two zones 4, the rate of light transmission will be the weakest.
Dans le cas de la figure 3, des rouleaux 12 sont formés pour actionner et la nappe 2 et la nappe 8.In the case of FIG. 3, rollers 12 are formed to actuate the ply 2 and the ply 8.
Ces cylindres motorisés permettent d'enrouler et de dérouler à volonté les deux nappes 2, 8. Lorsqu'elles fonctionnent de façon synchrone, les nappes 2 et 8 permettent la répartition spatiale de l'ensoleillement.These motorized cylinders make it possible to wind and unwind the two layers 2, 8 as desired. When they operate synchronously, the layers 2 and 8 allow the spatial distribution of the sunshine.
Si l'une des nappes 2 ou 8 est actionnée de façon indépendante de l'autre, on peut régler le taux d'ensoleillement.If one of the layers 2 or 8 is actuated independently of the other, the amount of sunshine can be adjusted.
Tous moyens moteurs pourront être utilisés pour entraîner en rotation les rouleaux 12.Any motor means can be used to drive the rollers 12 in rotation.
La figure 4 montre une autre variante de réalisation des moyens d'opacification.Figure 4 shows another alternative embodiment of the opacification means.
A cette figure, une nappe 8 est rapportée sur la nappe 2 et fixée par des moyens de fixation 9 par exemple du type bande velcro (marque déposée). De la même façon, la nappe 8 comprend des zones 3, 4, de types différents selon une répartition identique à celle de la nappe 2.In this figure, a ply 8 is attached to the ply 2 and fixed by fixing means 9, for example of the velcro strip type (registered trademark). Similarly, the sheet 8 comprises zones 3, 4, of different types according to a distribution identical to that of the sheet 2.
Lors de la fixation de la nappe 8 sur la nappe 2, on règle le décalage latéral des zones 3, 4 de la nappe 8 par rapport à celle de la nappe 2 afin d'ajuster le taux d'ensoleillement souhaité.
D'autres moyens d'opacification peuvent être formés sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.When fixing the sheet 8 on the sheet 2, the lateral offset of the zones 3, 4 of the sheet 8 is adjusted relative to that of the sheet 2 in order to adjust the desired amount of sunshine. Other opacification means can be formed without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Notamment, des volets rabattables sur les zones 4 peuvent être utilisées pour passer d'une position d'opacification totale à une position de transmission maximale.In particular, flaps that can be folded over the zones 4 can be used to move from a total clouding position to a maximum transmission position.
Par ailleurs, dans le cas d'une nappe 2 enroulable et déroulable sur des rouleaux 12, on peut envisager sur la longueur de la nappe plusieurs portions présentant des zones 3, 4 de propriétés de transmission lumineuse différentes.Furthermore, in the case of a sheet 2 which can be rolled up and unwound on rollers 12, it is possible to envisage over the length of the sheet several portions having zones 3, 4 of different light transmission properties.
Ainsi, la largeur des zones 3 ou 4 peuvent évoluer sur la longueur de la nappe 2.Thus, the width of the zones 3 or 4 can change over the length of the ply 2.
Au cours du déroulement de la nappe, il sera possible par ce biais de faire évoluer les caractéristiques de transmission lumineuse de la couverture.During the course of the sheet, it will be possible in this way to change the light transmission characteristics of the cover.
Une fois ces caractéristiques déterminées par l'utilisateur, un mouvement alternatif de va et vient de la nappe 2 produit par une rotation alternée des rouleaux 12 permettra la répartition spatiale de l'ensoleillement.
Once these characteristics have been determined by the user, an alternating movement back and forth of the sheet 2 produced by an alternating rotation of the rollers 12 will allow the spatial distribution of the sunshine.
