Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for learning the operating positions of a roller shutter with steerable blades.
  • a rolling shutter with adjustable blades provides the ability to tilt the blades parallel to their longitudinal axis to control the amount of light passing through the shutter.
  • this invention applies to the case of roller shutters motorized steerable, that is to say controlled by an electromechanical actuator and an electronic control unit.
  • the revolving roller shutter cooperates with a rocker, which is generally mounted at one of the slides in which the shutter blades slide.
  • the tilting must also not represent a constraint, that is to say a passage for any movement up or down the flap.
  • the rolling shutter with swiveling blades can thus also be used as a classic shutter.
  • a particular ergonomics of control For the implementation of the tilting function, that is to say for moving a blade of the roller shutter in a particular position in which it cooperates with a rocker for its orientation, a particular ergonomics of control must be provided.
  • This particular control ergonomics has the effect of moving the lower part of the flap towards this particular position, generally called the intermediate orientation position, in which the lower part of the flap is at a predefined height and with blades tilted at an angle. selected.
  • Each adjustment step must involve ergonomics of particular commands that the actuator recognizes, in order to store the current positions corresponding to these different settings.
  • roller shutters with adjustable blades tend to lengthen when they wear out.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a control method remedying the disadvantages mentioned and improving the methods known from the prior art.
  • the invention provides a very intuitive adjustment method for an installer.
  • another object of the invention is to increase the number of prerecorded intermediate positions, without complicating the adjustment process.
  • a last objective of the invention is to standardize the settings from one product to another, especially for several products installed on the same facade. This allows, besides the aesthetic aspect related to the harmony of the facade, to guarantee a percentage of opening in a tilted position of the blades. This method can also allow a better perception of the user with respect to the different positions of tilting blades, the opening percentage is a much more intuitive concept than a simple intermediate position number.
  • the object of the invention is to adapt better to the possible elongations of the shutter during its lifetime.
  • the positioning step may include positioning, including orientation positioning, blades parallel to a visually recognizable plane.
  • the adjustment method may comprise an additional step of determining at least a first position of extreme orientation of the blades or a first particular position relative to a mechanical rocker from the reference position.
  • the additional step of determining at least a first position of extreme orientation of the blades or a first particular position relative to a rocker may be a calculation step requiring no further movement of the flap.
  • the additional step may comprise the determination of at least one second position of extreme orientation of the blades or a second particular position relative to the mechanical rocker.
  • the adjustment method may comprise an additional step of determining an intermediate position of orientation of the blades between the two extreme positions.
  • the additional determination step may be based on dimension data related to the installation, in particular the diameter of a winding tube on which the shutter rolls, the thickness of the blades, the height of the blades and / or the dimensions of the mechanical rocker allowing the orientation of the blades.
  • the additional determination step may be based on parameterizable dimension data.
  • the visually recognizable plane may be a plane substantially perpendicular to the main plane in which the flap moves.
  • the visually recognizable plane can be a substantially horizontal plane.
  • the method allows the operation of a rolling shutter installation powered motorized. It comprises a phase of implementation of the adjustment method defined above, the installation being such that an intermediate position of orientation of the blades different from the reference position has also been recorded.
  • the method comprises a step of activating an actuator by which the flap is brought to the reference position following a first particular control command and a step of activating the actuator by which the flap is brought to the position intermediate following a second particular order of order.
  • the first command order and the second command order can be differentiated and come respectively from a button of control actuated by a user and a control automation associated with a sensor or vice versa.
  • the first command order and the second command order can be respectively from the appearance and disappearance of a predefined event.
  • a control unit of an actuator of a rolling shutter installation motorized comprising the actuator and a control unit for driving the actuator to cause movement of the shutter and / or blade orientation movements is characterized in that it comprises hardware and / or software means implementing the adjustment method and / or the operating method defined above.
  • the hardware and / or software means may comprise an actuator activation control means and a means for recording a current position of the actuator as a reference position.
  • the attached drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of an adjustment method according to the invention and an embodiment of an installation implementing such a method.
  • the figure 1 is a diagram of a home automation system motorized operation of a movable component comprising a control unit operating according to an embodiment of the adjustment method object of the invention.
  • the figure 2 is a diagram showing the kinematics of the blades of the mobile shutter.
  • FIGS. 3a and 3b are diagrams illustrating the operation of two variants of movable shutter with adjustable blades.
  • the figure 4 is a flow chart of an embodiment of the adjustment method according to the invention.
  • the figure 1 describes a mobile shutter installation 1 fitted to a building, comprising a shutter 2 wound on a winding tube 3 in which a tubular actuator 4 is installed (to simplify the actuator is shown out of the tube on the figure 1 ).
  • the actuator comprises a motor 5 and mechanical elements (represented by the link 6) for driving the winding tube 3 and moving the flap in a first direction S1 and in a second direction S2 when the motor is rotating in a direction. first sense and in a second sense.
  • the component as well as represented at figure 2 comprises a plurality of blades 2a-2d adjacent to each other and a tilting mechanism 8, or rocker, of these blades along their longitudinal axis XX.
  • This mechanism 8 is implemented when the flap has deployed to a particular position of tilting or orientation of BP blades.
  • This tilting position is preferably a prerecorded intermediate position and in which a particular blade, for example the final blade, is located at the rocker 8. It is preferentially the same for all the shutters of the same type, on the same facade .
  • Different characteristic positions of the flap displacement are represented in Figures 3a and 3b .
  • the rocker as described in the patent FR2573551 , For example comprises a guide path in which is inserted at least one lug placed at the end of the particular blade of the flap.
  • the path of this guide path by the ergot causes a rotation of the corresponding blade, this rotation being transmitted mechanically to all the tilting blades.
  • Any other embodiment of rocker is also possible without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the actuator also comprises a control unit 7. This one makes it possible to manage the movements and the position of the shutter 2.
  • the control unit can be integrated into the actuator and possibly include means 9 of communication including a receiver of radiofrequency waves.
  • the installation 1 also comprises a remote control point 10 such as a remote control, comprising a means 11 for issuing control commands, in particular motion control commands, an interface HMI 12 allowing a user to control certain movements by means of specific presses on keys or by other input means, in accordance with predefined ergonomics.
  • a remote control point 10 such as a remote control
  • the control point also includes a display 13, such as one or more light diodes or a display screen.
  • the control unit is connected by a wired link to the control point.
  • the installation also comprises means 14 for determining the intensity of an ambient parameter.
  • This means may in particular be a sensor that can communicate with the other means making up the control unit, either by a wired connection or wirelessly, for example by radio waves.
  • the sensor is for example a temperature sensor, freezing or sunshine.
  • the sensor provides the control unit with information dependent on the measured parameter, for example directly the measurement or an associated motion order. Depending on this information, the actuator reacts by executing a motion control command or more generally by an appropriate behavior.
  • the sensor may also provide this information to the control point 10, particularly in the case of bidirectional radio communications.
  • the control unit also comprises a means 15 for monitoring an internal parameter related to the operation of the actuator, for example the voltage, the torque or the speed, as well as means for determining the position of a marker of the flap, for example, the final blade of the flap or the blade which a lug at the end cooperates with the rocker.
  • a means 15 for monitoring an internal parameter related to the operation of the actuator for example the voltage, the torque or the speed, as well as means for determining the position of a marker of the flap, for example, the final blade of the flap or the blade which a lug at the end cooperates with the rocker.
  • a low LBP tilting position and a UBP high tilting position can be provided between the low end positions LEL and a high end position UEL.
  • the tilting of the blades is carried out from the moment the flap is directly led to one of these positions, for example the low LBP tilting position and not necessarily when the flap, during an open-close movement, simply move to these positions.
  • the position to be reached is then equivalent to the unique rocking position described above, it can be reached by a particular instruction of movement to this predefined position.
  • the tilting of the blades occurs if a reversal of operating direction occurs while the flap is in a particular position. This reversal of meaning can be associated with a particular command.
  • the tilting position BP may be located outside the position zone extending between a low end position LEL and a high end position UEL , in which the flap normally moves in opening - closing (LIFT mode).
  • the drive of the shutter to this particular BP switching position is particularly possible on particular instruction issued to the control unit of the actuator, different from a control opening or closing the shutter.
  • This particular instruction may be a motion command to a predefined position equivalent to the tilt position.
  • a first step S1 comprises an entry into an adjustment mode, in which the commands transmitted by action on the control point may have a meaning different from those transmitted in a normal operating mode.
  • This entry into adjustment mode can be automatic when the flap is first installed on site, ie when the actuator is first powered up. It can also follow a command or a particular sequence of commands, using the control point or the power supply line of the actuator among others.
  • the figure 4 only details the steps relating to the reference position of the rocker.
  • the installer controls the flap to a position in which a particular blade is located at the rocker and in which the blades take a particular orientation, visible visually or with the aid of a tool.
  • the positioning according to this orientation is also reproducible, that is to say that it is not only the result of chance or a not very precise adjustment.
  • the low and high positions of the rocker can not themselves be used as a reference position. Because of the construction of the rocker, these positions are difficult to identify because they are in ranges of positions in which the blades maintain their orientation (about 10 to 20 mm): in the high range, the blades remain closed, in the low range, the blades remain open to their maximum. The identification of the precise positions in which the blades open or arrive at their maximum tilting is therefore either not possible or not reproducible.
  • a horizontal position of the blades for a flap installed vertically in front of an opening fulfills this reproducible identification criterion.
  • a so-called maximum vision position in the field of view of an installer facing the opening that hides the flap is a position that can be identified, in particular visually, and reproducibly.
  • this maximum vision position corresponds to an extension of the blades in a plane perpendicular to the main plane in which the flap moves in LIFT mode, that is to say in a plane perpendicular to the wings or to the plane of the plane. opening itself.
  • the maximum viewing position can also be adapted for inclined roof windows.
  • a tool equivalent for example to a bubble level or a pendulum, attached to one of the blades, can reproducibly identify this reference position.
  • this position is reached, it is recorded by the installer during a step S3, for example by using a particular control operation at the control point.
  • an extreme low position and an extreme high position of the rocker are determined.
  • these extreme positions are determined so as to ensure cooperation with the rocker for a possible range of elongation of the rolling shutter apron, for example by enlarging the ranges of possible position values, or by adjusting a detection parameter of extreme positions.
  • the adjustment method according to the invention thus makes it possible to determine a reference position linked to the rocker that can be reproduced simply and intuitively from one installation to another.
  • the determination of the reference position for each shutter can be done very simply and ensure a visual correspondence with the other shutters, which ensures harmony in normal running. Due to the use of a tilted position of the blades as reference position, it is necessarily linked to the rocker. There can be no confusion between the different positions.
  • the control unit comprises hardware and / or software means for implementing the essential steps of the operating method that is the subject of the invention. It comprises in particular a first module governing the operation of the control unit in a first mode, for example normal operation and a second module governing the operation of the control unit in a second mode, for example setting. These modules are for example of the software type and implement different computer programs.
  • the control unit comprises calculation means, memories that can be modified or not for data necessary for the calculations.
  • the intermediate position mentioned above is located midway between the high and low positions of the rocker thus determined.
  • the dimension data used for the example above are fixed and related to the actuator for controlling a flap compatible with a given type of rocker.
  • These data can alternatively be parameterizable. In this case, they can be learned in particular by learning, by data transfer, by selecting a type of product associated with the actuator.
  • the additional step comprises automatic movements for learning positions relative to the reference position.
  • the additional step comprises automatic movements for learning positions relative to the reference position.
  • the adjustment positions can then be deduced from these detected positions to ensure optimal operation of the actuator and the rocker. In particular, the extreme positions will be chosen within the range of detected positions.
  • an offset value may be introduced relative to at least one of the extreme positions determined by calculation or learning, in particular the extreme high position of the rocker. This offset value makes it possible to compensate voluntarily determined extreme position values over a wide range to accept any extension of the deck. This offset value makes it possible to automatically define a tilting zone limit within the range of the determined extreme positions.
  • the orientation of the roller shutter When controlling the orientation of the roller shutter while it is out of the rocker, it is the extreme position or positions that are considered for positioning the flap vis-à-vis the rocker. If the deck lengthens within a certain limit, of the order of the offset value, it is ensured that it can cooperate with the rocker. Indeed, the steering control induces the positioning of the lug of the deck towards the extreme high position of the rocker. With an extension of the deck, the position of the lug is shifted from the high position during an orientation control, but this current position remains contained in the rocker.
  • the orientation range considered is that within the limits of the tilting zone defined by the introduction of the offset value.
  • the tilting zone corresponds to a regular orientation range of 0% to 100%. If the apron lengthens, the tilting zone is reduced, which can penalize the orientation range but continues to guarantee a blade orientation. A re-adjustment may then be desirable, but it is not made necessary by a total non-operation of the flap vis-à-vis the rocker.
  • an automatic adjustment of the position values can take place by adjusting the offset value.
  • a plurality of so-called intermediate positions can then be deduced from the positions determined during step S4. These can correspond to a percentage of travel in the rocker: as seen above, a first intermediate position of orientation of the blades can thus be a median position, at 50% of the stroke between the high and low positions of the rocker.
  • the reference position which is not necessarily equivalent to the first intermediate position defined above, can also be retained as the second intermediate position.
  • a first intermediate position can be used as the position to be reached when detecting an external event (for example the detection of presence of sun or of significant luminosity) while a second intermediate position, for example the reference position, is reached during the disappearance of this same event.
  • the first intermediate position can be used as the position to be reached when the command comes from an automation associated with a sensor, while the second intermediate position, for example the reference position, is reached when the command is a command resulting from a user via the control point.
  • control the shutter in various orientations of the blades, related in particular to the percentage of opening.
