Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gurtwickler für eine Verdunkelungseinrichtung wie einen Rolladen gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a belt winder for a dimming device such as a roller shutter according to the preamble of claim 1.

Der in Rede stehende, motorisch betätigte Gurtwickler findet in weitem Umfang Anwendung für die Nachrüstung, d. h. für den Austausch manuell betätigter Gurtwickler, Hierbei ist in einer ersten Variante der Einbau des motorisch betätigten Gurtwicklers in einem vorhandenen Gurtkasten vorgesehen. Es sind aber auch Auiputzgeräte bekannt, die ggf. als Schwenkwickler ausgestaltet sind.The motor-operated belt winder in question is widely used for retrofitting, i. H. For the exchange of manually operated Gurtwickler, this is provided in a first variant of the installation of the motor-operated Gurtwicklers in an existing belt box. But there are also Auiputzgeräte known that are possibly designed as a swivel.

Motorisch betätigte Gurtwickler sind heute zunehmend mit Automatikfunktionen ausgestattet. Eine dieser Automatikfunktionen besteht darin, daß der Gurtwickler zu vorbestimmten Zeiten automatisch betätigt wird. Hierfür ist der Gurtwickler mit einem Zeitmodul ausgestattet. Der bekannte Gurtwickler (DE 10 2004 012 354 A1), von dem die Erfindung ausgeht, weist eine Antriebsanordnung und eine Steuerungsanordnung auf, wobei die Steuerungsanordnung ein als Funkuhmiodul ausgestaltetes Zeitmodul aufweist.Motorized Gurtwickler are now increasingly equipped with automatic functions. One of these automatic functions is that the Gurtwickler is automatically operated at predetermined times. For this the Gurtwickler is equipped with a time module. The known Gurtwickler (DE 10 2004 012 354 A1), from which the invention proceeds, has a drive arrangement and a control arrangement, wherein the control arrangement has a configured as Funkuhmiodul time module.

In Deutschland verbreitet die Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) ein Zeitsignal über den Langwellensender DCF 77 im Dauerbetrieb. Eine entsprechende Einrichtung auf internationaler Basis ist der TDF-Langwellensender in Allouis, Frankreich.In Germany, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) distributes a time signal via the long-wave transmitter DCF 77 in continuous operation. A similar facility on an international basis is the TDF longwave transmitter in Allouis, France.

Das Funkuhrmodul des bekannten Gurtwicklers ist darauf eingerichtet, eines der obigen Langwellen-Zeitsignale zur Ermittlung der aktuellen Zeit über Funk zu empfangen. Hierfür ist eine Antenne vorgesehen, die regelmäßig als Ferrit-Antenne ausgestaltet ist. Der Nachteil der obigen Anwendung einer Ferrit-Antenne besteht in ihrer hohen Richtwirkung, so daß bei ungünstiger Einbaulage des Gurtwicklers der Empfang des Zeitsignals von nur schlechter Qualität ist. Dies führt im ungünstigsten Fall zum Empfang eines fehlerhaften Zeitsignals und im Ergebnis zur Ermittlung einer fehlerhaften aktuellen Zeit.The radio clock module of the known Gurtwicklers is adapted to receive one of the above long-wave time signals to determine the current time via radio. For this purpose, an antenna is provided which is regularly configured as a ferrite antenna. The disadvantage of the above application of a ferrite antenna is their high directivity, so that in unfavorable installation position of Gurtwicklers the reception of the time signal is of poor quality. In the worst case, this leads to the reception of a faulty time signal and as a result to the determination of a faulty current time.

Die Gefahr eines unzureichendes Empfangs des Zeitsignals ist bei dem bekannten Gurtwickler besonders ausgeprägt, da er ortsfest und unbeweglich am Mauerwerk oder in einer Mauerwerksausnehmung angeordnet ist. Es ist hier gewissermaßen vom Zufall abhängig, ob das Funkuhrmodul ordnungsgemäß arbeitet. Die Betriebssicherheit des bekannten Gurtwicklers ist daher erheblich eingeschränkt.The risk of insufficient reception of the time signal is particularly pronounced in the known Gurtwickler, since it is stationary and immovable on the masonry or is arranged in a masonry recess. In a sense, it depends on chance, whether the radio clock module works properly. The reliability of the known Gurtwicklers is therefore considerably limited.

Eine Möglichkeit zur Erhöhung der Betriebssicherheit besteht darin, den Gurtwickler über eine Femsteuervorrichtung anzusteuern (DE 200 01 483 U1). Dabei weist die Femsteuervorrichtung ein als Funkuhrmodul ausgestaltetes Zeitmodul auf und sendet die entsprechenden Zeitinformationen über Funk an den oder die ortsfesten Gurtwickler. Durch die Beweglichkeit der Fernsteuervorrichtung ist es ohne weiteres möglich, einen optimalen Empfang des Zeitsignals sicherzustellen. Nachteilig ist allerdings der zusätzliche Realisierungsaufwand, insbesondere wenn eine Fernsteuervorrichtung, beispielsweise aus Kostengründen, gar nicht gewünscht ist.One way to increase the reliability is to control the belt winder on a Femsteuervorrichtung (DE 200 01 483 U1). In this case, the remote control device has a time module configured as a radio clock module and transmits the corresponding time information by radio to the stationary belt winder or the stationary belt winder. Due to the mobility of the remote control device, it is readily possible to ensure optimum reception of the time signal. However, a disadvantage is the additional implementation effort, especially if a remote control device, for example, for cost reasons, is not desired.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, den bekannten Gurtwickler derart auszugestalten und weiterzubilden, daß die Betriebssicherheit im Hinblick auf den ordnungsgemäßen Betrieb des Zeitmoduls erhöht wird.The invention is based on the problem of designing the known Gurtwickler and further educate, that the reliability is increased in terms of the proper operation of the time module.

Das obige Problem wird bei einem Gurtwickler mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Anspruch 1 durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils von Anspruch 1 gelöst.The above problem is solved in a Gurtwickler with the features of the preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Wesentlich ist die Überlegung, daß die Antenne des Zeitmoduls über eine Haltevorrichtung derart verstellbar angeordnet ist, daß ein Ausrichten der Antenne zur Optimierung des Empfangs des Zeitsignals möglich ist. Mit "verstellbar" ist vorliegend gemeint, daß die Antenne eine Relativbewegung gegenüber dem Gurtwickler im übrigen durchführen kann. Damit ist gewährleistet, daß auch bei feststehendem Gurtwickler eine optimale Ausrichtung der Antenne sichergestellt ist.It is essential to consider that the antenna of the time module is arranged so adjustable over a holding device that alignment of the antenna to optimize the reception of the time signal is possible. By "adjustable" is meant here that the antenna can perform a relative movement relative to the Gurtwickler in the rest. This ensures that even with a fixed Gurtwickler optimal alignment of the antenna is ensured.

Das Zeitmodul kann als in sich abgeschlossene Einheit ausgestaltet sein, die ggf. komplett als Modul gegen ein anderes Modul austauschbar ist, Es kann aber auch aus mehreren separaten Einheiten bestehen. Ferner kann es vorgesehen sein, daß das Zeitmodul die Antenne umfaßt, oder daß dem Zeitmodul die Antenne, ggf. wiederum als separate Einheit, zugeordnet ist,The time module may be configured as a self-contained unit, which may be completely interchangeable as a module against another module, but it may also consist of several separate units. Furthermore, it can be provided that the time module comprises the antenna, or that the time module, the antenna, if necessary, in turn, is assigned as a separate unit,

Bei der Antenne handelt es sich vorzugsweise um eine Ferrit-Antenne, da hiermit ein besonders kompakter Aufbau möglich ist. Es sind aber auch andere Ausgestaltungen für die Antenne denkbar.The antenna is preferably a ferrite antenna, since this allows a particularly compact construction. But there are also other embodiments for the antenna conceivable.

Ein besonders vorteilhaftes Ausrichtverhalten läßt sich gemäß Anspruch 5 dadurch erreichen, daß die Antenne um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbar ist. Dabei ist die Schwenkbarkeit um eine einzige Schwenkachse oder um zwei vorzugsweise zueinander senkrecht ausgerichtete Schwenkachsen (Anspruch 7) denkbar.A particularly advantageous alignment behavior can be achieved according to claim 5 characterized in that the antenna is pivotable about a pivot axis. The pivoting about a single pivot axis or two preferably mutually perpendicularly oriented pivot axes (claim 7) is conceivable.

Die bevorzugten Ausführungsformen gemäß Anspruch 8 ermöglichen das Ausrichten der Antenne mit minimalem Aufwand. Wesentlich ist hier die Tatsache, daß das Ausrichten nicht mit einem aufwendigen Demontagevorgang verbunden ist.The preferred embodiments according to claim 8 allow the alignment of the antenna with minimal effort. Essential here is the fact that the alignment is not associated with a complex disassembly process.

Besonders komfortabel gestaltet sich das Ausrichten der Antenne für den Benutzer dann, wenn während des Ausrichtens der Antenne über eine Anzeige am Gurtwickler eine Information über den jeweils aktuellen Empfangspegel des Zeitsignals sichtbar ist (Anspruch 12). Hierdurch läßt sich insbesondere der für das Ausrichten der Antenne erforderliche Zeitaufwand erheblich reduzieren.Aligning the antenna is particularly convenient for the user when information about the respective current reception level of the time signal is visible during the alignment of the antenna via a display on Gurtwickler (claim 12). As a result, in particular, the time required for aligning the antenna can be significantly reduced.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the time module 8 is a DCF module. However, it is also conceivable to design the time module 8 as a TDF module. By means of the time module 8, a time signal for determining the current time can be received via radio. In the illustrated embodiment, the time module 8 is associated with an antenna 9 for receiving the time signal. In principle, the antenna 9 can also be an integral part of the time module 9.

Da es sich bei der Ausgestaltung des Zeitmoduls 8 als DCF-Modul oder als TDF-Modul um einen Langwellenempfänger handelt, ist die Antenne 9 vorzugsweise als Ferrit-Antenne ausgestaltet. Dies ist auch bei der dargestellten und insoweit bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Fall.Since the design of the time module 8 as a DCF module or as a TDF module is a long-wave receiver, the antenna 9 is preferably designed as a ferrite antenna. This is also the case with the illustrated preferred embodiment.

Wesentlich ist nun, daß die Antenne 9 des Zeitmoduls 8 über eine Haltevorrichtung 10 derart verstellbar angeordnet ist, daß ein Ausrichten der Antenne 9 zur Optimierung des Empfangs des Zeitsignals möglich ist. Dies läßt sich einer Zusammenschau der Fig. 1 und 3 entnehmen und wird im folgenden noch näher erläutert,It is essential that the antenna 9 of the time module 8 is arranged so adjustable about a holding device 10 that an alignment of the antenna 9 to Optimization of the reception of the time signal is possible. This can be seen from a synopsis of FIGS. 1 and 3 and will be explained in more detail below,

Bei der dargestellten und insoweit bevorzugten AusRhmngsform ist das Gehäuse 1 im eingebauten Zustand jedenfalls größtenteils in einer Mauerwerksausnehmung angeordnet. Gurtwickler dieser Art werden eingesetzt häufig in der Nachrüstung bei vorhandenen Verdunkelungsvorrichtungen, um vorhandene mechanische Guriwickler zu ersetzen. Der wesentliche Vorteil eines solchen Gurtwicklers mit Elektromotor besteht darin, daß er ohne weiteres in der meist genormten Mauerwerksausnehmung für den rein mechanischen Gurtwickler ersatzweise Platz findet. Der Austausch ist also sehr einfach möglich.In the illustrated and so far preferred Ausrhmngsform the housing 1 in the installed state, at least in most cases arranged in a masonry recess. Belt winder of this type are often employed in retrofitting existing dimming devices to replace existing mechanical winder. The main advantage of such a Gurtwicklers with electric motor is that it readily substitutes in the most standardized masonry recess for the purely mechanical Gurtwickler place. The exchange is very easy.

Grundsätzlich kann der Gurtwickler aber auch als Aufputz-Gerät ausgestaltet sein. Derartige Gurtwickler werden entsprechend dann eingesetzt, wenn eine Mauerwerksausnehmung nicht vorhanden ist oder, beispielsweise aus Kostengründen, nicht vorgesehen werden soll.In principle, the Gurtwickler but also be designed as a surface-mounted device. Such Gurtwickler be used accordingly when a masonry recess is not available or, for example, for reasons of cost, should not be provided.

Bei beiden oben genannten Varianten eines Gurtwicklers ist das als Funkuhrmodul ausgestaltete Zeitmodul 8, insbesondere die Antenne 9, zwangsweise in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Mauerwerk angeordnet. Insbesondere bei einem Mauerwerk mit integrierter Bewehrung führt dies zu einem Abschirmeffekt durch das Mauerwerk und im Ergebnis zu einer Behinderung beim Empfang des Zeitsignals über Funk, Unter Berücksichtigung dieser grundsätzlich bestehenden Behinderung beim Empfang des Zeitsignals ist es besonders vorteilhaft, daß die Antenne 9 bei dem vorschlagsgemäßen Gurtwickler ausgerichtet werden kann. Ohne das Ausrichten der Antenne 9 kann ein zuverlässiger Empfang des Zeitsignals nicht sichergestellt werden.In both above-mentioned variants of a Gurtwicklers designed as a radio clock module time module 8, in particular the antenna 9, forcibly disposed in close proximity to the masonry. In particular, in a masonry with integrated reinforcement, this leads to a shielding effect through the masonry and as a result to a disability in receiving the time signal via radio. Taking into account this inherent disability when receiving the time signal, it is particularly advantageous that the antenna 9 in the proposed Gurtwickler can be aligned. Without aligning the antenna 9, reliable reception of the timing signal can not be ensured.

Es ist der Darstellung in Fig. 2 zu entnehmen, daß das Gehäuse 1 eine Frontblende 11 aufweist, die verschiedene Bedienungselemente 12, eine Anzeige 13 und einen Einführkanal 14 für das Gurtband 4 einfaßt. Grundsätzlich kann es auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Frontblende 11 die genannten Elemente 12, 13, 14 aufnimmt. Beispielsweise können die Bedienungselemente 12 auf der Frontblende 11 angeordnet sein.It can be seen from the illustration in Fig. 2, that the housing 1 has a front panel 11, the various control elements 12, a display 13 and an insertion channel 14 for the webbing 4 borders. In principle, it can also be provided that the front panel 11 receives said elements 12, 13, 14. For example, the controls 12 may be arranged on the front panel 11.

Das Gehäuse 1 weist also jedenfalls einen Grundkörper 15 und die obige Frontblende 11 auf Es kann auch sein, daß das Gehäuse 1 aus einer Vielzahl weiterer Teilkomponenten besteht.The housing 1 thus has in any case a base body 15 and the above front panel 11. It may also be that the housing 1 consists of a plurality of further subcomponents.

Vorzugsweise ist die Antenne 9 im Gehäuse 1 angeordnet. Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Anordnung der Antenne 9 unmittelbar unter der Frontblende 11, so daß möglichst wenige konstruktive Komponenten des Gurtwicklers den Empfang des Zeitsignals stören. Bei dem dargestellten und insoweit bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist es ferner so, daß die Antenne 9 im Bereich des Einführkanals 14 für das Gurtband 4 angeordnet ist. Dies ist insofern vorteilhaft, als die Antenne 9 dann in deutlicher Entfernung von der Antriebsanordnung 2 und deren den Empfang störenden bzw. abschirmenden Komponenten entfernt ist.Preferably, the antenna 9 is arranged in the housing 1. Particularly advantageous is the arrangement of the antenna 9 directly under the front panel 11, so that as few structural components of Gurtwicklers interfere with the reception of the time signal. In the illustrated preferred embodiment, it is further such that the antenna 9 is arranged in the region of the insertion channel 14 for the webbing 4. This is advantageous in that the antenna 9 is then located at a considerable distance from the drive arrangement 2 and its components disturbing or shielding the reception.

In besonders bevorzugter Ausgestaltung ist die Antenne 9 um eine Schwenkachse 16 schwenkbar verstellbar. Der hiermit erreichbare Schwenkwinkel der Antenne 9 ist im wesentlichen abhängig von der Ausgestaltung des Gehäuses 1. Bei dem dargestellten Ausftihrungsbeispiel beträgt der Schwenkwinkel der Antenne 9 etwa 12°.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the antenna 9 is pivotally adjustable about a pivot axis 16. The pivoting angle of the antenna 9 achievable with this is essentially dependent on the configuration of the housing 1. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the pivoting angle of the antenna 9 is approximately 12 °.

Insbesondere bei der Ausgestaltung der Antenne 9 als Ferrit-Antenne ist es vorzugsweise so, daß sich die Antenne 9 in Richtung einer Längsachse 17 erstreckt, wobei sich die Schwenkachse 16 der Antenne 9 vorzugsweise senkrecht zur Längsachse 17 der Antenne 9 erstreckt. Dies ist in Fig. 1 dargestellt. Es ist der Darstellung in Fig. 1 ferner zu entnehmen, daß sich die Schwenkachse 16 der Antenne 9 im eingebauten Zustand im wesentlichen in vertikaler Richtung erstreckt. Dies trägt der Tatsache Rechnung, daß es bei der Ausrichtung in erster Linie darauf ankonlmt, daß die Längsachse 17 der Antenne 9 verschiedene Orientierungen innerhalb einer horizontalen Ebene einnimmt.In particular, in the embodiment of the antenna 9 as a ferrite antenna, it is preferably such that the antenna 9 extends in the direction of a longitudinal axis 17, wherein the pivot axis 16 of the antenna 9 preferably extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 17 of the antenna 9. This is shown in Fig. 1. 1 that the pivot axis 16 of the antenna 9 extends in the installed state substantially in the vertical direction. This takes account of the fact that, in the orientation, it is primarily based on the fact that the longitudinal axis 17 of the antenna 9 assumes different orientations within a horizontal plane.

Grundsätzlich kann es aber auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Antenne 9 um eine weitere Schwenkachse schwenkbar ist, wobei die beiden Schwenkachsen 16 vorzugsweise zueinander senkrecht ausgerichtet sind.In principle, it can also be provided that the antenna 9 is pivotable about a further pivot axis, wherein the two pivot axes 16 are preferably aligned perpendicular to each other.

Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist die Ausrichtung der Antenne 9 insofern besonders leicht durchführbar, als die Antenne 9 verstellbar ist, ohne den Gurtwickler, insbesondere das Gehäuse 9 oder die Frontblende 11 des Gehäuses 1, demontieren zu müssen. Dies zeigt beispielsweise die Darstellung gemäß Fig. 3. Das Gehäuse 1, bzw. die Frontblende 11, weist hier eine Ausnehmung 18 auf, durch die hindurch ein Zugriff zur Verstellung der Antenne 9 möglich ist.In the illustrated embodiment, the orientation of the antenna 9 is particularly easy to carry out insofar as the antenna 9 is adjustable, without the Gurtwickler, in particular the housing 9 or the front panel 11 of the housing 1, to dismantle. This shows, for example, the illustration of FIG. 3. The housing 1, or the front panel 11, here has a recess 18, through which access to the adjustment of the antenna 9 is possible.

Im einzelnen weist die Haltevorrichtung 10 der Antenne 9 für die Verstellung der Antenne 9 ein Eingriffsprofil 19 auf, das hier als eine Art Kreuzschlitz ausgestaltet ist. Das Eingriffsprofil 19 kann auch ein einfacher Schlitz oder eine andere Formgebung aufweisen. Damit ist es möglich, die Ausrichtung, also die Verstellung der Antenne 9, mit einem einfachen Werkzeug wie mit einem Schraubendreher o. dgl. zu bewerkstelligen. Es kann aber auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Haltevorrichtung 10 mit einem Betätigungselement für die Verstellung der Antenne 9 ausgestattet ist, wodurch die Verstellung der Antenne 9 ohne Werkzeug möglich wäre.In detail, the holding device 10 of the antenna 9 for the adjustment of the antenna 9 on an engagement profile 19, which is designed here as a kind of cross slot. The engagement profile 19 may also have a simple slot or other shape. This makes it possible, the alignment, so the adjustment of the antenna 9, with a simple tool such as a screwdriver o. The like. To accomplish. But it can also be provided that the holding device 10 is equipped with an actuating element for the adjustment of the antenna 9, whereby the adjustment of the antenna 9 would be possible without tools.

Die Haltevorrichtung 10 weist nun ein feststehendes Lagerelement 20 zur schwenkbaren Lagerung eines Halteelements 21 auf. Durch den Eingriff zwischen dem Lagerelement 20 und dem Halteelement 21 ist das Halteelement 21 um die Schwenkachse 16 schwenkbar. Dabei dient das Halteelement 21 der Aufnahme der Antenne 9, wobei die Antenne 9 im dargestellten und insoweit bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel über Federelemente 22 im Halteelement 21 fixiert ist. Das Halteelement 21 ist vorzugsweise in das Lagerelement 20 eingeklipst. Hierfiir ist das Halteelement 21 mit einer Reihe von federnden Haken 23 ausgestattet, die im eingebauten Zustand mit einem kreisförmigen Absatz des Lagerelements 20 in Eingriff stehen.The holding device 10 now has a stationary bearing element 20 for the pivotable mounting of a holding element 21. Through the engagement between the bearing element 20 and the holding element 21, the holding element 21 is pivotable about the pivot axis 16. In this case, the holding element 21 of the recording of the antenna 9, wherein the antenna 9 is fixed in the illustrated and so far preferred embodiment via spring elements 22 in the holding element 21. The holding element 21 is preferably clipped into the bearing element 20. For this purpose, the holding element 21 is equipped with a series of resilient hooks 23, which are in the installed state with a circular shoulder of the bearing element 20 in engagement.

In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung ist es so, daß das Lagerelement 20 und das Halteelement 21 über jeweils eine Eingriffsfläche miteinander in Eingriff stehen und daß die Eingriffsflächen sich im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Schwenkachse 16 des Halteelements 21 erstrecken. Um zu vermeiden, daß sich die Antenne 9 selbsttätig in ungewünschter Weise verstellt, ist es vorzugsweise vorgesehen, daß diese Eingriffsflächen jeweils angerauht sind, um die Reibung zwischen diesen beiden Komponenten zu erhöhen. Eine Alternative besteht darin, daß die beiden Eingriffsflächen zueinander korrespondierende Verzahnungen aufweisen, die wiederum dem selbsttätigen, ungewünschten Verstellen der Antenne 9 entgegenwirken.In a preferred embodiment, it is such that the bearing element 20 and the holding element 21 are engaged with one another via in each case one engagement surface and that the engagement surfaces extend substantially perpendicular to the pivot axis 16 of the holding element 21. In order to avoid that the antenna 9 automatically adjusts in an undesired manner, it is preferably provided that these engagement surfaces are roughened in each case in order to increase the friction between these two components. An alternative is that the two engagement surfaces have mutually corresponding toothings, which in turn counteract the automatic, unwanted adjustment of the antenna 9.

Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform führt zu einem besonders komfortablen Ausrichten der Antenne 9. Hier ist es vorgesehen, daß die Steuerungsanordnung 7 die Anzeige 13 derart ansteuert, daß während des Ausrichtens der Antenne 9 über die Anzeige 13 eine Information über den jeweils aktuellen Empfangspegel des Zeitsignals sichtbar ist. Hier ist beispielsweise eine zahlenmäßige Darstellung oder eine graphische Darstellung, beispielsweise durch einen Balken mit sich in Abhängigkeit vom aktuellen Empfangspegel verändernder Länge o. dgl., denkbar.A further preferred embodiment leads to a particularly convenient alignment of the antenna 9. Here, it is provided that the control device 7 controls the display 13 so that during the alignment of the antenna 9 via the display 13, information about the respective current reception level of the time signal visible is. Here, for example, a numerical representation or a graphical representation, for example, by a bar with depending on the current reception level changing length o. The like., Possible.

Besonders benutzerfreundlich ist schließlich eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform, bei der die Antenne 9 motorisch verstellbar ist. Die Steuerungsanordnung 7 nimmt die Ausrichtung der Antenne 9 dann automatisch vor, Hierfür weist die Steuerungsanordnung 7 einen entsprechenden Regelkreis auf. Die Antenne 9 wird über den Regelkreis so lange motorisch verstellt, bis der aktuelle Empfangspegel des Zeitsignals maximal ist.Finally, a particularly preferred embodiment in which the antenna 9 is motor-adjustable is particularly user-friendly. The control arrangement 7 then automatically adjusts the orientation of the antenna 9. For this purpose, the control arrangement 7 has a corresponding control circuit. The antenna 9 is adjusted by the control circuit as long as the current reception level of the time signal is maximum.

Es darf noch darauf hingewiesen werden, daß die Antenne 9 über eine nicht dargestellte Verbindungsleitung mit der Steuerungsanordnung 7 im übrigen verbunden ist. Hierfür ist an der Haltevorrichtung 10 ein elektrischer Anschluß 24 vorgesehen, der über die Verbindungsleitung mit einem Anschluß 25 der Steuerungsanordnung 7 entsprechend verbunden ist.It may also be pointed out that the antenna 9 is connected via a connecting line, not shown, with the control arrangement 7 in the rest. For this purpose, an electrical connection 24 is provided on the holding device 10, which is connected via the connecting line to a terminal 25 of the control arrangement 7 accordingly.

Schließlich darf noch ganz allgemein darauf hingewiesen werden, daß der erfindungsgemäße Gurtwickler auch mit einer Funkfiemsteuerung für das fenragesteverte Auslösen einzelner Funktionen ausgestattet sein kann. Wenn gleichzeitig, wie oben beschrieben, der Antriebsmotor 5 als Gleichstrommotor (vorzugsweise 220 V) ausgestaltet ist, so stellen sich besondere Anforderungen an diese Funkfernsteuerung. Bei einem Gleichstrommotor entsteht nämlich bei jedem Umpolen des Kommutators ein Bürstenfeuer, das die Funkübertragung der Funkfernsteuerung stört.Finally, may also be quite generally noted that the Gurtwickler invention can also be equipped with a Funkfiemsteuerung for fenragesteverte triggering individual functions. If, at the same time, as described above, the drive motor 5 is designed as a DC motor (preferably 220 V), then there are special requirements for this radio remote control. In a DC motor, in fact, every time the commutator is reversed, a brush fire occurs which disturbs the radio transmission of the radio remote control.

Die obige Störung der Funkfernsteuerung durch das Bürstenfeuer des Gleichstrommotors 5 läßt sich beispielsweise durch eine geeignete Wahl des Frequenzbereichs der Funkfernsteuerung reduzieren. Es ist aber auch möglich, die Signale der Funkfernsteuerung redundant zu kodieren, so daß die Übertragung entweder fehlerresistent wird oder daß Übertragungsfehler jedenfalls erkannt werden.The above disturbance of the radio remote control by the brush fire of the DC motor 5 can be reduced for example by a suitable choice of the frequency range of the radio remote control. But it is also possible to redundantly encode the signals of the radio remote control, so that the transmission is either error-resistant or that transmission errors are detected in any case.

In besonders bevorzugter Ausgestaltung ist das Funksignal über, Frequenzmodulation kodiert. Dabei handelt es sich bei der Funkfernsteuerung vorzugsweise um ein GFSK-Sende-/Empfangsgerät (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying) mit CRC-Kodierung (Cylic Redundancy Check) und mit Manchester-Code Kollisionserkennung.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the radio signal is encoded via frequency modulation. The radio remote control is preferably a GFSK transceiver (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying) with CRC coding (Cylic Redundancy Check) and with Manchester code collision detection.

Die obige Ausgestaltung einer Funkfernsteuerung ist auf alle Bereiche der Haustechnik, insbesondere jedoch auf den Bereich der motorischen Gurtwickler für Verdunkelungsvorrichtungen wie einen Rolladen, anwendbar.The above embodiment of a radio remote control is applicable to all areas of home automation, but in particular to the field of motor Gurtwickler for dimming devices such as a shutter.
