Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of automated solar protection, in particular blinds controlled by an actuator.
  • a fabric forming the blind is intended to be wound on a tube called winding tube, the rotation of the latter being carried out either via an electromechanical actuator, or through a manual or crank operation device.
  • Tubular actuators are very commonly used for these automatic maneuvers. They are placed inside the winding tube and allow unrolling or wrapping the awning fabric without any particular effort.
  • the operation of the blind can be achieved remotely, without necessarily the intervention of the user (for example, automatic unwinding in the presence of sun, to protect both the terrace or the windows too much warming in the summer, winding automatically in case of wind to protect the blind itself).
  • Electromechanical actuators are usually connected to the mains for their power supply. To prevent cases of urgent use in case of power failure, some versions are offered with a manual override. The actuator then combines the automatic and manual functions.
  • the actuator it is preferable that it knows the deployment position of the blind, in particular to manage the particular operations on different areas of the race: arrival in high abutment, arrival at the low point, zone of locking of the arms of deployment of the blind.
  • Electronic counting devices are also widely available on the market.
  • the current position is located in a non-volatile electronic memory, which keeps the information even in the event of a power failure.
  • the setting of such an electronic counting device can be performed remotely, which obviously has many advantages, the actuators are not easily accessible once mounted on site.
  • Another solution, described in the IT patent application MI2002001549, is to add a second detection system, which will make it possible to perform the counting during a manual emergency operation or more simply to detect a movement.
  • the second detection system is powered by energy storage means (supercapacitor type) reloaded when the actuator is again powered.
  • the installation can be recalibrated in the only cases where a manual maneuver has taken place.
  • this solution requires the implementation of new counting means in addition to existing means or suitable counting means, which further increases the emergency maneuvering devices.
  • This registration is based on the recognition of a fixed position, such as a stop or a position in which it is no longer possible to continue the movement and treated as a stop.
  • the position of this stop can be determined by the analysis of the torque or a variation of the torque exerted by the motor or a sub-speed. These parameters are then independent of the position count.
  • the position of the stop is associated with a reference position value. The count can then be updated from this reference position unambiguously representing the current position of the blind.
  • the patent EP 1 269 596 describes a device for stopping the motor when the load on the motor exceeds a determined value. It comprises means for transforming the variation of the voltage across the phase-shift capacitor, corresponding to a determined torque variation, in a selected variation of the voltage, whatever the maximum torque developed, means for comparing the transformed voltage. with a reference voltage and motor stop means when the transformed voltage is lower than the reference voltage.
  • An automatic registration procedure is known from the document US 2005/0237015 in the field of motorized garage doors.
  • this type of installation there is also provided a manual maneuver that can be implemented without power supply of the actuator.
  • This document describes a system of detectable waypoints, which define boundaries of operating areas.
  • the electronics of the installation determines, on the basis of information specific to each zone, for example a specific voltage value for each zone, in which zone is the door. For each zone a preferred direction of movement is defined so as to safely reach a waypoint where the position counter is recalibrated.
  • This document also proposes only the definition of a direction of preferential movement as action to be implemented depending on the zone in which the door is located.
  • the stop detection means In the case of the blind, it can easily be satisfied with having a single stop allowing the registration and not a set of crossing points. However, for the identification of this stop, it is necessary to activate the stop detection means, as mentioned above. It is also necessary to avoid activating these means on other areas of the race, in particular in a so-called arm lock zone, where an increase in torque, torque variation or under-speed can translate into a other event than an arrival in abutment.
  • the patent EP 0 770 757 thus described that the stop detection means, called load monitoring means, is activated only when the blind is retracted, just before reaching the initial position corresponding to the stop and not on the remainder of the stroke, avoiding thus any untimely solicitation.
  • this method is only applicable if the knowledge of the position is reliable, that is to say that it is not adapted in the case presented previously in which there was a maladjustment of the installation following a manual maneuver.
  • Document is known DE 90 03 416 a method of controlling a blind.
  • the blind comprises sensor means for determining in which area of the race is a load bar of the blind.
  • This document relates to a control method of a blind with multiple positions of deployment and withdrawal. These multiple positions are reached automatically depending on the surrounding wind conditions. The described operation implies that the positions are accurately marked. When there are variations of wind speed with respect to a threshold value, the blind is led to another position.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method of operating an actuator overcoming the disadvantages mentioned and improving the operating methods known from the prior art.
  • the invention makes it possible, when a registration is necessary, to determine in advance in a global manner the position of the blind to allow automatic positional registration, without user intervention, and without error. It also allows the use of detection thresholds low enough not to damage the installation during a stop detection.
  • an actuator is defined by claim 11.
  • the attached drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of a solar protection installation according to the invention and an embodiment of a method of operation of such an installation.
  • the figure 2 is a diagram of an actuator of such an installation.
  • FIGS. 3 , 4 and 5 are diagrams illustrating the principle of the operating method according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are diagrams illustrating measurement principles of parameters used in the operating method according to the invention.
  • the sun protection system in particular a motorized arm awning, comprises a winding tube 21 around which a blind fabric 3 is wound in a box 2.
  • the system also comprises articulated arms 4 mounted on the one hand on a load-bearing structure and provided with banded springs when the arms are folded. The other end of the arms is connected to a bar 5 fixed at the end of the fabric 3.
  • a tubular actuator 6 inserted into the winding tube 21 (or drive) causes the rotation of the latter.
  • the actuator comprises a control unit 8 enabling it to manage control commands for deploying or folding the fabric. In a deployment order, the actuator allows an unfolding of the arms under the action of the springs and a rotation of the winding tube in a first direction, resulting in deployment of the fabric. Conversely, during a fallback command, the actuator causes rotation of the winding tube in the in the opposite direction, which has the effect of stretching the canvas and folding the arms by binding the springs.
  • the actuator 6 comprises a driving portion or geared motor 6a and a brake 6b.
  • the brake is able to lock the output shaft in rotation in order to control the speed of rotation and also to keep the winding tube blocked.
  • the actuator 6 releases at least partially the brake 6b and therefore the rotation of the winding tube in the first direction, under the action of the springs 10.
  • the load bar 5 and the fabric 3 are then driven to the fully deployed position.
  • the actuator also comprises means 7 for measuring a parameter internal to the actuator, representative of the torque exerted by the actuator 6 on the tube 21 for driving the fabric.
  • the actuator further comprises stop detection means 9. These means can for example operate by detecting a predetermined torque, a torque variation or a predetermined speed variation.
  • the measuring means 7 and the stop detection means may be at least partially common.
  • the stop detection means make it possible to detect the end of retracting stop of the awning (that is to say the position in which the awning is completely wound) or an obstacle on the travel of the awning load bar. .
  • the electronic control unit 8 allows the management of the rotation control commands of the winding tube in one direction or the other, as well as the management of the stops, thanks in particular to the information provided by the measuring means 7, the stop detection means 9 and / or by a position sensor.
  • the control unit also comprises software means for implementing an operating method according to the invention, this method governing the operation of a blind actuator. These software means include computer programs.
  • An operating zone differs from a position zone in particular by the incidence of the direction of movement.
  • the arm awnings have the particularity to be deployed under the effect of the springs linked to the arms, each arm being provided with a central articulation and can be unfolded on slightly more than 180 °.
  • the arms When deployed in an operating zone ZF1, the arms are unfolded under the effect of the springs and pull on the blind fabric, the actuator then being disengaged or operating as a generator.
  • the arm lock When the articulation is opened at more than 180 °, referred to as the arm lock (operating zone ZF2), the fabric passes abruptly from a tense state to a relaxed state insofar as the arms have reached a position maximum stable deployment. They no longer create tension on the canvas. The arms are then said to be locked. Beyond this, if the awning continues to be unrolled, the ZF3 operating zone applies: the fabric runs freely.
  • the actuator in an operating zone ZF5, the actuator must create a large torque to fold the arms from this arm locking position, that is to unlock the arms and leave this stable position.
  • the actuator acts on the fabric and the latter must pull on the arms to bring them to a retracted position against the action of the springs.
  • the passage of this locking position can be considered by the stop detection means as equivalent. at an arrival on a stop.
  • Certain operating zones are, however, characterized by a particular signature related to the torque, in particular to the Ucapa voltage across a phase shift capacitor of an asynchronous motor. Measuring the Ucapa voltage indicates an increase or a drop in torque depending on whether the operation of the actuator is motor or generator.
  • the different operating zones are indicated on the graph of the figure 4 showing the voltage taken across the phase shift capacitor as a function of time over a deployment and retraction operating cycle.
  • the invention proposes to perform a test defined by a short sequence of deployment and retraction movements and to analyze the characteristics of the operating zones encountered (for example the value average of the Ucapa voltage on each movement). These two values are then compared to determine the blind position area.
  • the actuator defines whether to disable the stop detection to pass the arm lock position, or activate it to make a resetting to a stop without damaging the product.
  • the successively encountered operating zones are respectively ZF1 and ZF6. Since the value of the parameter Ucapa (deployment) in the zone ZF1 is greater than the value of the parameter Ucapa (fallback) in the zone ZF6, the actuator deduces that the blind is in the positioning zone ZP1 and that the stop detection must be activated on the ascent.
  • the operating zones successively encountered are respectively ZF3 and ZF4.
  • the forces to be provided by the actuator are only unfolding and winding canvas without load. Since the value of the parameter Ucapa (deployment) in the zone ZF3 is substantially equal to the value of the parameter Ucapa (fallback) in the zone ZF4, the actuator deduces that the blind is in the positioning zone ZP2 and that it is necessary to deactivate the stop detection during a first predetermined time, to pass the arm lock, and then activate it again to detect the high stop.
  • the actuator may repeat this test with possibly longer movement times.
  • parameters related to the operation of the actuator can be used to determine the characteristics of the operating zones encountered during the test, for example the speed of rotation / displacement.
  • these parameters directly or indirectly represent the forces applied or the torque supplied by the actuator.
  • the registration test is preferably part of a resetting movement in which the values measured by the stop detection means are analyzed but are not taken into account for a stop, in other words, the stop detection is deactivated at least on a part of this registration movement.
  • This recalibration movement is intended to allow, before coming to seek a stop to reset the current position counter, to stabilize the operation and therefore the measures useful for the stop detection. In otherwise, starting the actuator itself may distort the measurements of the stop detection.
  • This resetting movement therefore comprises a first deployment movement (represented by the symbol ⁇ ) over a duration of approximately 2 seconds, followed by a stop (represented by the symbol ⁇ ) and a folding movement (represented by the symbol ⁇ ) of at least 2 seconds.
  • the registration test preferably comprises the analysis of the data at the level of the round-trip of the blind, with the exception of the measurements close to the round-trip position ZP AR of the blind.
  • each test movement lasts only about 300 ms during which the stop detection means provide samples of Ucapa voltage measurements. These are analyzed to deduce an average of the voltage Ucapa at the position of return of the blind.
  • the first n values are not taken into account to take into account the start of the actuator and allow the measurement data to stabilize.
  • symmetrical sampling zones are guaranteed during deployment and retraction.
  • zones ZP2 and ZP3 are zones ZP2 and ZP3. In both cases, it is necessary to ensure temporarily disable the stop detection means to avoid confusing the locking or unlocking of the arms with the arrival at the high stop and thus memorize a false reference position.
  • the blind is close to its low position. It is therefore possible to temporarily disable the stop detection means without the risk of arriving quickly on the high stop.
  • the duration of temporary deactivation of the stop detection means can then be arbitrarily defined to suit all types and sizes of blinds. It can be for example equal to 2 seconds.
