Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure device and opening an opening, such as in particular a shutter, blind or similar, comprising maneuvering means, transmission means and mechanical end-of-stroke means.
  • Document FR-2,729,771 is particularly known from such closing and opening devices. It presents a clutch device provided with of a pin traversing radially a shaft integral with the drum coming from make contact, pressed by a spring, at the level of conformal impressions performed at the bottom of a bore of a sleeve surrounding said shaft.
  • the limiting torque from which the pin will come out of footprints is determined by the elastic means and in particular the stiffness of the spring used and the geometry of the contact zone between the pin and the impression.
  • the contact zone is generally semi-cylindrical and identical in both directions of rotation. It does not allow in particular to easily define the limit torque in playing on said contact geometry. Moreover, such a geometry does not allow not to obtain a different limit torque according to the two directions of rotation.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to propose a device for closing and opening of an opening, comprising means for transmission, maneuvering means and end-of-travel means to torque limiter function in both directions of rotation, which compensates for disadvantages mentioned above, and in particular makes it possible to have a zone of contact whose geometry authorizes, during the design, to define the couples limits in an easy and standardized way in said two directions of rotation.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a device to settle jointly and easily during the course of the installation of said opening and / or closing device, the one or more couples limits in both directions of rotation.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a device for closing and opening equipped with a brake system that holds the shutter even when the clutch device decouples the means of maneuvering the transmission means or during a failure of said clutch device.
  • the invention relates to a closing and opening device 15 of an opening, in particular a shutter (not shown), blind or the like, comprising a movable member such as in particular a drum (not shown), maneuvering means such as in particular a crank (not shown), transmission means 16, 17, such as in particular a winch, and mechanical end-of-travel means 2, 3, with torque limiter function in both directions of rotation.
  • roller blind aprons rigidly attached to the drum by means of a latch.
  • a lock allows the jamming of the apron at the end of the low stroke and prevents any fraudulent lifting of said shutter.
  • roller shutter aprons additionally have stop-action projections which come into contact at the end of the high run with the high crossbar, the trunk or the lintel.
  • End means in accordance with the invention make it possible to protect the device closing and opening and in particular the rolling shutter apron and its means transmission in the case of an upper stop and in the case of an abutment low.
  • the end-of-travel means constituted by a device with a clutch are arranged between the actuating means and the means of transmission. They thus make it possible to protect the whole kinematic chain and mechanical ; thus according to the embodiment, crank, rod, joint, tip, axis of the flap, fastener and blades will be protected.
  • the means of transmission such as in particular gear wheel and worm can then be made of plastic.
  • the first training element can take the form of a plate 2 having a double slope radial toothing pressed by elastic means 6 against a second element driven taking the form of a plate 3 provided with a double slope radial toothing.
  • the first element of training can take the form of a tubular element in which is coaxially inserted a flexible tubular element of smaller diameter constituting the second element, as disclosed in the document CH-666 560.
  • the first tubular element can have a radial internal toothing in a double-slope crown, suitable for meshing with an external radial toothing of the second element driven tubular.
  • the second tubular driven element can then have internal elastic means, as illustrated in document CH-666.560 and in particular at least one longitudinal groove, allowing the deformation of the external radial toothing of said second tubular element and allowing said external radial teeth to move away when the transmitted torque becomes too much important.
  • Radial toothing with a first and a second slopes to mesh in both directions of rotation allows when the design better determination of limit couples.
  • the couple limit depends on several parameters and more particularly the angle of each slope, the average radius of the toothing, the effort induced by the means elastic and friction coefficients of the materials used in level of the teeth. The importance of these parameters on the limiting torque will become clearer when describing Figures 2 and 3.
  • correspondence tables can be allow, depending on the slopes used, the average radius of the toothing, used materials and the elastic force to determine undit limit torque.
  • the device is able to present in limiting torque C 1 in a first direction of rotation, distinct from a limiting torque C 2 in a second direction of rotation.
  • the angle 7 formed between the action line 8 induced by the torque along said first direction of rotation and said first slope 4 is less than the angle 13 formed between the line of action 12 induced by the pair along said second direction of rotation and said second slope 5, so that the limiting torque C 1 necessary for said first element 2 training no longer meshes said second element 3 driven in said first direction of rotation is less than the limit torque C 2 necessary for said first drive element 2 no longer causes said second element 3 driven in said second direction of rotation.
  • action line 8, 12 is meant by the couple, the right at the level of the teeth contained in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of said clutch device 1 and perpendicular to a radius of the circle following the radial teeth.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the forces involved at the level of the toothing of the clutch device 1 according to the invention, at equilibrium, and for a limit torque C 1 according to a first direction of rotation.
  • the first element 2 drive engages the second element 3 driven following a first direction of rotation in the same sense as the vector 8.
  • the force F 23 14 represents the resultant of the forces of the first driving element 2 on the second element 3 which is driven.
  • the force F 23 can decompose as the sum of the force F e 9 induced by the elastic means and the force F C1 8 due to the limit torque C 1 induced by the operating means and the opposite resistance of the transmission means.
  • the force F R 10 then represents the resultant of the forces opposed to the force F 23 .
  • the limit torque depends on the angle ⁇ 1 and the average radius R 1 of the toothing as well as the forces F e induced by the elastic means.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the forces involved at the level of the toothing of the clutch device according to the invention at equilibrium and for a limit torque C 2 in a second direction of rotation.
  • the slope 5 is subject to the transmission forces.

  • the first direction of rotation is the direction of downward actuation of the closing and opening device and in particular of said shutter, said second direction of rotation being the direction of actuation uphill.
  • the limiting torque C 2 of rise must be greater than the limiting torque C 1 of descent.
  • the elastic means consist of Belleville washers 6 connected in series.
