Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of motorized sun protection systems, and in particular that of sliding curtains.
  • These curtains are generally fixed on a set of several pads that can move along a rail.
  • a first shoe is attached to a carriage driven into the rail via a belt or cord under the action of an actuator. The movement of the first pad causes the movement of the following pads, either through the curtain itself, or by cords connecting each pad to the next.
  • Motorized curtains are commonly used in hotel rooms or conference centers, ie in transit areas where users are unaccustomed to their operation. These installations must be discreet, not very visible and not very noisy, while ensuring their protection in case of manual operation of the curtain by an unsuspecting user.
  • the actuator described in the document US-B-6076592 comprises a longitudinal housing perpendicular to the rail supporting the curtain to maneuver. Rotation of an output shaft of the actuator rotates a belt of the curtain assembly through a clutch. This allows manual control when the engine is stopped and the curtain is decoupled from the engine.
  • the actuator When the actuator is mounted perpendicular to the rail, it is most often placed below the rail, so as to be masked, at least partially, by a side edge of the curtain.
  • To the upper end of the housing are the motor, the gearbox and the clutch, while the motor supply and control device is located towards the lower end.
  • the power supply of the motor takes place via the control device, which transmits this energy or a transformed energy, for example a low voltage energy 24V DC, to the motor with the control command.
  • a power cable must be connected to the actuator housing on the power supply and control side.
  • a first power cable arrives to the bottom of the housing and a second control cable spring of the housing, on a side face, to mount towards a detection element placed at the end of the rail.
  • the power cable connection to the enclosure is sometimes grouped with an adjustment interface that is located either at the bottom of the housing or on a side face.
  • the cable can easily be inadvertently disconnected by an unsuspecting user, as access to the cable, similar to access to the control interface, is left free.
  • the arrangement of the motor with respect to the control device often forces the power cable to run along the housing, the power supply terminal being generally located in a false ceiling.
  • W02004 / 011759 it is known to W02004 / 011759 to provide a guide groove of a cable in a cradle for mounting a geared motor in a rail.
  • the cable remains visible and accessible over most of its length, which is acceptable for a geared motor mounted in a rail but is not suitable for a curtain actuator mounted as that of US-B-6076592 .
  • the invention therefore proposes to remedy the aforementioned problems and to provide a housing structure meeting the technical and aesthetic needs sought in the field of motorization for curtains.
  • the invention relates to an electro-mechanical actuator for operating a curtain sliding along an axis, this actuator comprising a motor, a motor supply unit and a housing, the motor and the unit power supply being received in a first housing interior of the housing.
  • This actuator is characterized in that the housing forms at least a second inner housing, separated from the first inner housing by a wall of the housing and in which is received an electrical or electronic component of the actuator separate from the motor and the drive unit. and in that a removable cover isolates the or each second housing from the outside of the housing.
  • the second housing inside the housing makes it possible to accommodate a component such as a power cable or an electronic control module which is therefore protected against shocks and is not visible. , which improves the overall aesthetics of the actuator.
  • the use of an insulating cover the second housing avoids the inadvertent use of the interfaces it can contain and allows the use of interchangeable control modules.
  • the figure 1 shows an overview of a portion of a motorized curtain installation 1.
  • a curtain R shown in phantom is suspended by hooks to a rail 10.
  • At least one hook secured to the curtain R is fixed on a carriage 11, driven by a belt 12 moving in the rail 10 under the effect of a electro-mechanical actuator 13 mounted at the rail end.
  • the curtain 11 can thus be displaced along the longitudinal axis X 10 of the rail 10.
  • the components of the actuator 13 are contained in a housing 20 of elongate shape.
  • the actuator 13 is fed from a power supply terminal 14 located above the rail 10, preferably in a false ceiling not shown.
  • the actuator is shown schematically in figure 2 . It comprises, in the elongated housing 20, a motor unit 21 and a supply unit 22. Above the motor unit is located a member 23 for detecting the position of the carriage 11 along the rail 10.
  • the motor unit comprises a electric motor 24, a gearbox 25 and a clutch 26.
  • the gearbox and the clutch can also be combined into a single element.
  • the detection member for example a set of optical sensors, could also be located inside the motor unit 21, between the gearbox and the clutch for example, or between the motor and the gearbox. Alternatively, the detection member could be in a separate housing with respect to the housing L 1 containing the motor unit 21 and the supply unit 22.
  • a power cable 28 extends between the power supply unit 22 and the top of the actuator. This cable 28 is connected to the supply terminal 14 by means of a connector 15.
  • the cable 28 passes preferably, especially where it is bent, an anti-traction ring 29 which avoids tensile forces too much. important on this cable, in its part connected to the power supply unit 22.
  • the figure 3 also represents in 3D view the routing of the cable along the housing. In this view, only a portion of the components of the actuator is shown. In particular, the cover 33 is not shown for clarity of the drawing.
  • the case is also represented on the figures 4 and 5 . It comprises a hollow main body 30, one-piece and generally cylindrical outer shape with elliptical base.
  • the body 30 could also be circular.
  • the body 30 defines an inner housing L 1 in which are received the motor unit 21, the unit 22 and the member 23, as well as electrical conductors not shown. Part of the motor unit 21 and the power supply unit 22, in particular the corresponding printed circuits, can be maintained in slides 31 provided on the inner faces of the body 30.
  • the housing L 1 is isolated from the outside by the body 30 and the parts which seal at its ends. The materials present in this housing are therefore protected from mechanical aggression and / or ambient humidity.
  • the housing L 2 is delimited only between the parts 30 and 33, which is of great simplicity of embodiment and provides a good seal.
  • the hollow body has an elliptical-shaped overall section, one of whose sides of small radius of curvature A is truncated.
  • the complement B of the elliptical section is made using a cover 33 whose section completes the truncated ellipse.
  • the cover 33 may be termed longitudinal insofar as it extends over the corresponding length of the body 30 of the housing 20.
  • the truncation of the body 30 at the side A produces a longitudinal trough 34 which extends over the entire length of the body 30.
  • the cover 33 hides the access to the chute 34 vis-à-vis the outside.
  • a wall 35, integral with the body 30 separates the trough 34 of the housing L 1.
  • the chute 34 thus forms a second housing L 2 which is inside the housing 20, which extends over the entire length of the body 30 and the lid 33 isolates from the outside.
  • the cable 28 is received in this housing L 2 on the height of the body 30, which allows it to connect a zone Z 1 close to the unit 22, inside the housing L 1 , to a zone Z 2 in which is positioned the supply terminal 14, outside the actuator 13.
  • the cover 33 may be made of the same material as the body 30, but it may also be made of another material, for example plastic when the body 30 is metallic.
  • the cover 30 can be cut into several parts or pierced along its height to allow an output of the cable 28 at any height of the housing.
  • the cover comprises two lateral slides 36 and 37. It may have elastic properties so as to be inserted by exerting a slight deformation force enabling it to come to lock in slides 38 and 39 of corresponding shapes formed on the body 30. II can alternatively be slidably inserted from one end of the body 30.
  • the cover 33 and / or the body 30 of the housing 20 comprises, in particular at the means 36 to 39 for fixing the cover, means for holding a dressing element of the housing which is not shown.
  • This covering element may be a fabric coming from covering the body of the case, this fabric being matched or identical to the curtain of the installation.
  • a fabric may be wedged between the slides 36 and 38, on the one hand, 37 and 39, on the other hand over the length of the lid 33.
  • This housing configuration allows the passage of the power supply cable 28 to the mains voltage (230V) safely, out of access of a user and separately from the main elements of the actuator 13 which are the engine block 21 and the power supply unit 22.
  • the power supply terminal 14 is located at a false ceiling, the power cable is guided along the housing towards the top thereof.
  • the power supply terminal 14 may conversely be located towards the bottom of the installation. It is then preferable to extend the cable down the actuator, which is possible because the housing L 2 opens at the bottom of the housing 20.
  • the cover 33 may be provided with weak areas to create, by localized cutting of the cover 33, a passage opening of the cable 28, for example in the case where the power supply terminal 14 is located at half height of the actuator 13.
  • the housing 20 also comprises, at one end of the hollow body 30, a base 40 supporting at least a portion of the feed unit 22 and / or the engine block 21.
  • This base is recessed, in the form of a bowl, and closed, opposite the body 30, by a cover or plug 41 removable.
  • the base 40 penetrates at least partly into the hollow body 30 when the housing 20 is assembled.
  • the base 40 can slide out of the housing body to provide easy access to the power supply unit 22.
  • a cover or removable cap 41 ' is attached to the body 30, opposite the base 40.
  • the cover 41' is shown only to figures 2 and 3 .
  • the base 40 supports a panel 45 for controlling and configuring the actuator 13, this panel comprising adjusting knobs 46 (SET.MODE) as well as light-emitting diodes 47 for controlling. It also supports a connector RJ9 type 48 (type connector for telephone cable), the latter being used for connection with a cable TBT (low voltage) control to a dry contact or an interface with other systems. control not shown, outside the housing 20.
  • a panel 45 for controlling and configuring the actuator 13, this panel comprising adjusting knobs 46 (SET.MODE) as well as light-emitting diodes 47 for controlling.
  • RJ9 type 48 type connector for telephone cable
  • the base 40 is partly hollow or “recessed” and defines a cavity 49 in which is received an electronic control module 50.
  • This control module 50 can be adapted for different versions of the actuator 13 and thus include an infra-red receiver, a radio receiver, another connector for dry contact to allow individual and general control, or a connector of another type, for example RS485 for connection to a control bus.
  • the cavity 49 forms a second housing L ' 2 , interior to the housing 20 and which is separated from the housing L 1 by the base web 43.
  • Access to the control module 50 is generally hidden by the cover 41 when it is placed on the base 40.
  • the cover 41 and / or the base itself 40 comprises a not shown zone of lower mechanical strength to create a passage for the power cable 28 or TBT control cable when it is necessary or better adapted to pass the cables down the actuator 13.
  • the cover 41 hermetically closes the body 30 of the housing in its lower part.
  • the cover 41 is removably mounted on the base 40, for example clipped or screwed, so as to make accessible the control panel 48 and configuration and / or the module 50 when necessary.
  • the control module 50 is thus easily interchangeable.
  • the base 40 protects the user by separating a relatively high current supply area (mains supply) from a supply area TBT.
