Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for indicating the opening state of a window or a door with at least one intended for mounting between a window frame and a wing of the window or the door sensor, one depending on the states “closed” and “open” and / or “tilted” variable electrical resistance and to which an electrical circuit for delivering at least two of these states indicating state signals is connected.
- Pressure sensors of the type described are not always sufficiently reliable. In particular, after prolonged use of the device there is a risk that the window or door conditions are displayed incorrectly.
- the changes in the electrical resistance of the pressure sensor are large (e.g., a few megohms in the closed state to nearly zero ohms in the open state), they are less specific. Therefore, although it is often desirable to reliably detect all three states with a single sensor, or even to infer intermediate states between the three states, it is difficult.
- the invention is therefore based on the object, the device of the type described above in such a way that it works reliably over long periods of time and allows a clear statement about the respective window or door position.
- the device according to the invention is characterized in that the sensor is designed in the manner of a potentiometer having a blade adjustable by the slider or sliding contact.
- the distance of the window or door leaf from the associated frame in the various states is not in a pressure, but in a proportional Adjustment of a movable contact or grinder of the potentiometer, ie converted into a proportional path change.
- the resulting analogue voltage signal is therefore not only substantially proportional to the distance traveled by the monitored window or door leaf, but also enables a precise determination of its current position. This facilitates the calibration of the device and, if necessary, also makes it easier to detect intermediate positions which, for example, can result from the desired tilting position due to wind or draft.
- the device according to the invention can be designed extremely wear.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a window sash 1 and its associated frame 2.
- the sash 1 is located in Fig. 1a) in a fully open state.
- a sensor 4 according to the invention is attached, which with a only in Fig. 1a) clear visible slider 5 is provided.
- the slider 5 serves the purpose of cooperating with an associated edge 6 of the window sash 1, which is attached to a lower, horizontal profile 7 of the sash 1 and to the outwardly facing side.
- the sensor 4 and its slide 5 are shown enlarged in Fig. 2 to 4, wherein schematically acting on the slide 5 edge 6 of the window sash 1 is indicated.
- the slider 5 is arranged in a housing 8 of the sensor 4 in the direction of an arrow v linearly pushed back and forth.
- the housing 8 has a recess 9 which is open towards the side of the edge 6 and has a center axis 10 parallel to the direction of the arrow v .
- the slide 5 is guided in this recess 9 with sliding fit and by means of a first spring 11 which is supported on a remote from the edge 6 bottom 8 a of the housing 8, biased in the direction of the edge 6.
- the spring 11 protrudes, for example, into a recess 5a of the slider 5 which is coaxial with the central axis 10 and faces the bottom 8a, and is supported by its end remote from the base 8a on an end face of the recess 5a.
- the slide 5 can take, for example, the three positions shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, in which the spring 11 is not pushed in at all (FIG. 2), partly (FIG. 3) or completely (FIG. 4), and one with the Edge 6 cooperating and abutting this tip 5 b more or less far out of the housing 8.
- a potentiometer 14 is arranged. This contains, as shown in FIG. 5, a parallel to the arrow v arranged on a housing wall fixed resistance path 14a, for example, consists of an electrical resistance wire, and a arranged above this, parallel to her slider track 14b, which consists for example of a good electrically conductive material , Both tracks 14a, 14b are, for example. by means of a frame, not shown, placed on the ends of the resistor track 14 a frame at a small distance and arranged parallel to each other.
- the slider 5 is at its the webs 14 a, 14 b facing side with a Actuator 15 in the form of a rounded knob or the like. Provided that presses with its end face on the slider track 14b and therefore where it is currently, against the resistance track 14a sets. As a result, the two tracks 14a, 14b are brought into electrical contact with each other at the location of the actuator 15.
- the actuator 15 is preferably slidably mounted in a further recess 16 of the slider 5, whose central axis is arranged perpendicular to the central axis 10 of the housing 8, with sliding fit.
- a second spring 17 is arranged, which is supported with a first end on an end face of the recess 16 and with a second end on the actuator 15 and at the bottom of a recess 15 a formed in this.
- the actuator 15 is biased with a comparatively small spring force in the direction of the slider track 14b and pressed against this, just to put it firmly enough against the resistance track 14a and to make a good electrical contact.
- the slider track 14b is pressed against the resistance track 14a at different points as a function of the instantaneous position of the slider 5. Overall, a function is thereby obtained in the manner of a potentiometer, in which the respective contact point 14c (FIG. 5) between the tracks 14a, 14b represents the slider or the movable contact
- Fig. 5 shows schematically the operation of this potentiometer within the sensor 4.
- the resistor track 14a is placed at its ends to a DC voltage, for example by means of a schematically illustrated battery 18.
- the slider track 14b for example, at one end or the other with a tap 19 provided.
- a partial voltage of the battery voltage applied to the resistance track 14 a can be removed at this tap 19. This voltage is substantially proportional to the displacement of the actuator 15 and the position of the slider 5 parallel to the direction of the arrow v.
- the sensor 4 is attached to the profile 3 (Fig. 1) such that the tracks 14a, 14b and the central axis 10 of the housing 8 are arranged substantially parallel to the direction of movement of the window sash 1. Furthermore, the arrangement is suitably made such that e.g. the tip 5b of the slider 5 is extended with the window sash 1 open, fully out of the housing 8 in the direction of the edge 6 (FIGS. 1a and 2), with the sash 1 in tilted condition, e.g. half in the housing 8 is retracted (Fig. 1b and 3) and with the window sash 1 is fully retracted into the housing 8 (Fig. 1c and 4). Finally, the length of the tracks 14a, 14b is preferably selected such that they extend at least over the entire displacement path of the actuator 15.
- the sensor 4 described is particularly suitable for monitoring or displaying the opening conditions of windows and doors in buildings. If necessary, such a sensor 4 can be assigned to each window and each door, in order then to check from a central location in which opening state the existing windows and doors are located.
- the processing of the signals picked up at the taps 19 can expediently be analogous to the font DE 101 61 761 A1 with the means shown there and, in particular, that these signals are fed to a microprocessor 20 (FIG. 5) and then preferably transmitted by means of a radio transmitter to a remote location.
- a microprocessor 20 FIG. 5
- it may be a switch box, which is located near a main entrance door of a building, has receivers for the various radio signals and od with the help of displays, control lights.
- a switch box which is located near a main entrance door of a building, has receivers for the various radio signals and od with the help of displays, control lights.
- the potentiometer 14 is with particular advantage to a so-called Membrane. Potentiometers of this type are manufactured eg by the company Spectra Symbol, USA, and are offered on the market under the brands “Softpot” and "Hotpot”. In these potentiometers, for example, the resistance paths consist of an electrically conductive carbon wire and the slider tracks of a silver wire.
- the invention is not limited to the described embodiment, which can be modified in many ways.
- other potentiometers may be provided which have a displaceable tap connected to the slider 5 or a similar slider.
- the sensor 4 as a whole represents only one embodiment, which may be designed differently in many respects, as shown in Figures 2 to 4.
- the sensor 4 is also suitable for scanning only two different states, e.g. "closed” and “tilted” or “closed” and “open”, can be applied. Such an application is e.g. required if they are doors / windows that can only assume these two defined states.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Anzeige des Öffnungszustands eines Fensters oder einer Tür mit wenigstens einem, zur Montage zwischen einem Blendrahmen und einem Flügel des Fensters oder der Tür bestimmten Sensor, der einen in Abhängigkeit von den Zuständen "geschlossen" und "offen" und/oder "gekippt" veränderbaren elektrischen Widerstand aufweist und an den ein elektrischer Schaltkreis zur Abgabe von wenigstens zwei dieser Zustände anzeigenden Zustandsignalen angeschlossen ist.The invention relates to a device for indicating the opening state of a window or a door with at least one intended for mounting between a window frame and a wing of the window or the door sensor, one depending on the states "closed" and "open" and / or "tilted" variable electrical resistance and to which an electrical circuit for delivering at least two of these states indicating state signals is connected.
Bekannte Vorrichtungen zur Ermittlung des Schließzustands von Fenstern oder Türen weisen Reed-Kontakte als Sensoren auf. Diese können einerseits mit Permanentmagneten leicht außer Funktion gesetzt werden und erfordern andererseits einen hohen Verkabelungsaufwand. Außerdem sind zur Überwachung der drei Fenster- oder Türzustände "offen", "gekippt" und "geschlossen" stets wenigstens zwei Reed-Kontakte und zugehörige Einrichtungen erforderlich.Known devices for determining the closed state of windows or doors have reed contacts as sensors. These can easily be put out of action on the one hand with permanent magnets and on the other hand require a high cabling effort. In addition, to monitor the three window or door states "open", "tilted" and "closed", at least two reed contacts and associated devices are always required.
Es sind daher auch bereits Vorrichtungen der oben angegebenen Gattung bekannt geworden (
Drucksensoren der beschriebenen Art sind nicht immer ausreichend funktionssicher. Insbesondere nach längerem Gebrauch der Vorrichtung besteht die Gefahr, daß die Fenster- oder Türzustände fehlerhaft angezeigt werden. Außerdem sind die Änderungen des elektrischen Widerstandes des Drucksensors zwar groß (z.B. einige Megaohm im geschlossenen Zustand bis zu nahezu Null Ohm im offenen Zustand), aber wenig spezifisch. Daher ist es schwierig, obwohl häufig erwünscht, mit einem einzigen Sensor alle drei Zustände sicher zu erfassen oder sogar auf Zwischenzustände zwischen den genannten drei Zuständen zu schließen.Pressure sensors of the type described are not always sufficiently reliable. In particular, after prolonged use of the device there is a risk that the window or door conditions are displayed incorrectly. In addition, although the changes in the electrical resistance of the pressure sensor are large (e.g., a few megohms in the closed state to nearly zero ohms in the open state), they are less specific. Therefore, although it is often desirable to reliably detect all three states with a single sensor, or even to infer intermediate states between the three states, it is difficult.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Vorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Gattung so auszubilden, daß sie über lange Zeitspannen hinweg betriebssicher arbeitet und eine eindeutige Aussage über die jeweilige Fenster- oder Türstellung ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object, the device of the type described above in such a way that it works reliably over long periods of time and allows a clear statement about the respective window or door position.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die Vorrichtung erfindungsgemäß dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Sensor nach Art eines Potentiometers ausgebildet ist, das einen vom Flügel verstellbaren Schleifer bzw. Schleifkontakt aufweist.To solve this problem, the device according to the invention is characterized in that the sensor is designed in the manner of a potentiometer having a blade adjustable by the slider or sliding contact.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Anwendung eines als Potentiometer ausgebildeten Sensors wird die Abstand des Fenster- oder Türflügels vom zugehörigen Blendrahmen bei den verschiedenen Zuständen nicht in einen Druck, sondern in eine proportionale Verstellung eines beweglichen Kontakts oder Schleifers des Potentiometers, d.h. in eine proportionale Wegänderung umgewandelt. Das erhaltene analoge Spannungssignal ist daher nicht nur im wesentlichen proportional zu dem vom überwachten Fenster-oder Türflügel zurückgelegten Weg, sondern ermöglicht auch eine präzise Ermittlung von dessen aktueller Stellung. Das erleichtert die Eichung der Vorrichtung und läßt bei Bedarf auch Zwischenstellungen leichter erkennen, die sich z.B. aufgrund von Wind oder Durchzug aus der an sich gewünschten Kippstellung heraus ergeben können. Außerdem kann die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung äußerst verschleißarm ausgebildet werden.The inventive use of a sensor designed as a potentiometer, the distance of the window or door leaf from the associated frame in the various states is not in a pressure, but in a proportional Adjustment of a movable contact or grinder of the potentiometer, ie converted into a proportional path change. The resulting analogue voltage signal is therefore not only substantially proportional to the distance traveled by the monitored window or door leaf, but also enables a precise determination of its current position. This facilitates the calibration of the device and, if necessary, also makes it easier to detect intermediate positions which, for example, can result from the desired tilting position due to wind or draft. In addition, the device according to the invention can be designed extremely wear.
Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous features of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend in Verbindung mit den beiliegenden Zeichnungen an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert. Es zeigen:
- Fig. 1 schematisch einen Fensterflügel im geöffneten, gekippten und geschlossenen Zustand;
- Fig. 2 schematisch einen vergrößerten Längsschnitt durch einen erfindungsgemäßen Sensor bei geöffnetem Fensterflügel entsprechend Fig. 1a;
- Fig. 3 und 4 der Fig. 2 entsprechende Ansichten des Sensors bei den Zuständen "gekippt" und "geschlossen" entsprechend Fig. 1b) und 1c);
- Fig. 5 schematisch die elektrische Funktion eines an den Sensor nach Fig. 2 bis 4 anschließbaren Schaltkreises.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a window sash in the open, tilted and closed state;
- FIG. 2 schematically shows an enlarged longitudinal section through a sensor according to the invention with the window sash open in accordance with FIG. 1a; FIG.
- Figures 3 and 4 of Figure 2 are similar views of the sensor in the states "tilted" and "closed" according to Fig. 1b) and 1c).
- Fig. 5 shows schematically the electrical function of a connectable to the sensor of FIG. 2 to 4 circuit.
Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch einen Fensterflügel 1 und einen diesem zugeordneten Blendrahmen 2. Der Fensterflügel 1 befindet sich in Fig. 1a) in einem voll geöffneten Zustand. An der Innenseite eines unteren, horizontalen Profils 3 des Blendrahmens 2 ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Sensor 4 befestigt, der mit einem nur in Fig. 1a) klar sichtbaren Schieber 5 versehen ist. Der Schieber 5 dient dem Zweck, mit einer zugeordneten Kante 6 des Fensterflügels 1 zusammenzuwirken, die an einem unteren, horizontalen Profil 7 des Fensterflügels 1 und an dessen nach außen weisender Seite angebracht ist.Fig. 1 shows schematically a
Der Sensor 4 und sein Schieber 5 sind in Fig. 2 bis 4 vergrößert dargestellt, wobei schematisch auch die auf den Schieber 5 wirkende Kante 6 des Fensterflügels 1 angedeutet ist. Der Schieber 5 ist in einem Gehäuse 8 des Sensors 4 in Richtung eines Pfeils v linear hin- und herschiebbar angeordnet. Dazu weist das Gehäuse 8 eine zur Seite der Kante 6 hin geöffnete Aussparung 9 mit einer zur Richtung des Pfeils v parallelen Mittelachse 10 auf. Der Schieber 5 ist in dieser Aussparung 9 mit Gleitsitz geführt und mittels einer ersten Feder 11, die an einem von der Kante 6 entfernten Boden 8a des Gehäuses 8 abgestützt ist, in Richtung der Kante 6 vorgespannt. Die Feder 11 ragt dabei z.B. in eine zur Mittelachse 10 koaxiale, dem Boden 8a zugewandte Ausnehmung 5a des Schiebers 5 und stützt sich mit ihrem vom Boden 8a entfernten Ende an einer Endfläche der Ausnehmung 5a ab. Dadurch kann der Schieber 5 z.B. die drei aus Fig. 2 bis 4 ersichtlichen Stellungen einnehmen, in denen die Feder 11 gar nicht (Fig. 2), teilweise (Fig. 3) oder ganz (Fig. 4) eingedrückt ist und eine mit der Kante 6 zusammenwirkende und an dieser anliegende Spitze 5b mehr oder weniger weit aus dem Gehäuse 8 herausragt.The
Parallel zur Mittelachse 10 des Gehäuses 8 und in Fig. 2 bis 4 unterhalb des Schiebers 5 und der Aussparung 9 ist ein Potentiometer 14 angeordnet. Dieses enthält gemäß Fig. 5 eine parallel zum Pfeil v angeordnete, an einer Gehäusewand befestigte Widerstandsbahn 14a, die z.B. aus einem elektrischen Widerstandsdraht besteht, und eine oberhalb von dieser angeordnete, zu ihr parallele Schleiferbahn 14b, die z.B. aus einem elektrisch gut leitenden Material besteht. Beide Bahnen 14a, 14b sind z-B. mit Hilfe eines nicht dargestellten, auf die Enden der Widerstandsbahn 14a aufgelegten Rahmens in einem geringen Abstand und parallel zueinander angeordnet.Parallel to the
Der Schieber 5 ist an seiner den Bahnen 14a, 14b zugewandten Seite mit einem Aktuator 15 in Form eines abgerundeten Knopfs od. dgl. versehen, der mit seiner Endfläche auf die Schleiferbahn 14b drückt und diese daher dort, wo er sich momentan befindet, gegen die Widerstandsbahn 14a legt. Dadurch werden die beiden Bahnen 14a, 14b jeweils am Ort des Aktuators 15 in elektrischen Kontakt miteinander gebracht.The
Der Aktuator 15 ist vorzugsweise in einer weiteren Ausnehmung 16 des Schiebers 5, deren Mittelachse senkrecht zur Mittelachse 10 des Gehäuses 8 angeordnet ist, mit Gleitsitz verschiebbar gelagert. In dieser Ausnehmung 16 ist eine zweite Feder 17 angeordnet, die sich mit einem ersten Ende an einer Endfläche der Ausnehmung 16 und mit einem zweiten Ende am Aktuator 15 bzw. am Boden einer in diesem ausgebildeten Aussparung 15a abstützt. Dadurch wird der Aktuator 15 mit einer vergleichsweise kleinen Federkraft in Richtung der Schleiferbahn 14b vorgespannt und gegen diese gedrückt, um sie gerade fest genug gegen die Widerstandsbahn 14a zu legen und einen guten elektrischen Kontakt herzustellen.The
Wie Fig. 2 bis 4 weiter zeigen, wird die Schleiferbahn 14b in Abhängigkeit von der momentanen Stellung des Schiebers 5 an unterschiedlichen Stellen gegen die Widerstandsbahn 14a gedrückt. Insgesamt wird dadurch eine Funktion nach Art eines Potentiometers erhalten, bei dem der jeweilige Berührungspunkt 14c (Fig. 5) zwischen den Bahnen 14a, 14b den Schleifer bzw. den beweglichen Kontakt darstellteAs FIGS. 2 to 4 further show, the slider track 14b is pressed against the
Fig. 5 zeigt schematisch die Wirkungsweise dieses Potentiometers innerhalb des Sensors 4. Die Widerstandbahn 14a wird an ihren Enden an eine Gleichspannung gelegt, z.B. mit Hilfe einer schematisch dargestellten Batterie 18. Dagegen wird die Schleiferbahn 14b z.B. an dem einen oder anderen Ende mit einem Abgriff 19 versehen. An diesem Abgriff 19 kann je nach Stellung des Aktuators 15 eine Teilspannung der an der Widerstandsbahn 14a anliegenden Batteriespannung abgenommen werden. Diese Spannung ist im wesentlichen proportional dem Verschiebeweg des Aktuators 15 bzw. der Stellung des Schiebers 5 parallel zur Richtung des Pfeils v. Fig. 5 shows schematically the operation of this potentiometer within the
Beim Gebrauch wird der Sensor 4 so am Profil 3 (Fig. 1) befestigt, daß die Bahnen 14a, 14b und die Mittelachse 10 des Gehäuses 8 im wesentlichen parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung des Fensterflügels 1 angeordnet sind. Weiterhin wird die Anordnung zweckmäßig so getroffen, daß z.B. die Spitze 5b des Schiebers 5 bei geöffnetem Fensterflügel 1, voll in Richtung der Kante 6 aus dem Gehäuse 8 ausgefahren ist (Fig. 1a und 2), bei im Kippzustand befindlichem Fensterflügel 1 z.B. halb in das Gehäuse 8 eingefahren ist (Fig. 1b und 3) und bei geschlossenem Fensterflügel 1 voll in das Gehäuse 8 zurückgezogen ist (Fig. 1c und 4). Schließlich ist die Länge der Bahnen 14a, 14b vorzugsweise so gewählt, daß sich diese zumindest über den ganzen Verschiebeweg des Aktuators 15 erstrecken.In use, the
Der beschriebene Sensor 4 eignet sich insbesondere zur Überwachung bzw. Anzeige der Öffnungszustände von Fenstern und Türen in Gebäuden. Bei Bedarf kann jedem Fenster und jeder Tür ein derartiger Sensor 4 zugeordnet sein, um dann von einer zentralen Stelle aus zu überprüfen, in welchem Öffnungszustand sich die vorhandenen Fenster und Türen befinden. Zu diesem Zweck kann die Verarbeitung der an den Abgriffen 19 abgenommenen Signale zweckmäßig analog zur Schrift
Bei dem Potentiometer 14 handelt es sich mit besonderem Vorteil um ein sogenanntes Folienpotentiometer. Potentiometer dieser Art werden z.B. von der Firma Spectra Symbol, USA, hergestellt und unter den Marken "Softpot" und "Hotpot" auf dem Markt angeboten. Bei diesen Potentiometern bestehen beispielsweise die Widerstandsbahnen aus einem elektrisch leitenden Kohlenstoffdraht und die Schleiferbahnen aus einem Silberdraht.The
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt, das auf vielfache Weise abgewandelt werden kann. Insbesondere können anstelle der beschriebenen Potentiometer auch andere Potentiometer vorgesehen werden, die einen verschiebbaren, mit dem Schieber 5 oder einem ähnlichen Schieber verbundenen Abgriff aufweisen. Weiter stellt der Sensor 4 insgesamt nur ein Ausführungsbeispiel dar, das in vielfacher Hinsicht anders gestaltet sein kann, als in Fig. 2 bis 4 dargestellt ist; Weiter ist klar, daß der Sensor 4 auch zur Abtastung von nur zwei unterschiedlichen Zuständen, z.B. "geschlossen" und "gekippt" oder "geschlossen" und "offen", angewendet werden kann. Eine derartige Anwendung ist z.B. erforderlich, wenn es sich um Türen/Fenster handelt, die nur diese beiden definierten Zustände einnehmen können. Abgesehen davon kann es zweckmäßig sein, jedem Fenster bzw. jeder Tür zwei Sensoren 4 zuzuordnen, von denen einer die Stellungen "geschlossen" und "gekippt" und der andere die Stellungen "geschlossen" und "offen" anzeigt, wenn auch die beschriebene Lösung, daß mit einem einzigen Sensor 4 alle drei Zustände angezeigt werden, für am besten gehalten wird. Schließlich versteht sich, dass die verschiedenen Merkmale auch in anderen als den beschriebenen und dargestellten Kombinationen angewendet werden können.The invention is not limited to the described embodiment, which can be modified in many ways. In particular, instead of the potentiometers described, other potentiometers may be provided which have a displaceable tap connected to the
