Description

The present invention relates to a motorization system and its use for at least one opening a mobile opening provided with at least one pair of hinges on hinges secured to the walls of a building structure and adjacent to an opening such as window, door window or the like, comprising a motor, a geared motor, housed in a cylindrical casing embedded in a cylindrical sealing sieve, an electronic control card with an engine stop circuit for using an intermediate casing distinct from a motor housing of a hinged pivoting assembly articulated on hinges for the automation of the complete opening system, with data exchanges between the system and external peripherals of any kind, mainly control means of the functions accepting any coding or protocol custom customer, featuring a sealed case installed with a standard peripheral sealing sieve to all housings for heat sink embedded in a building structure, which housing includes a content access cover, which content is at least one electronic circuit support for the transformed power supply and self-controlled, start-up, learning, storage of operating and safety settings, operation of user services, control and recording of operations, all as an open and scalable system, whose commands can be wired, or by waves of any nature, constituting altogether an automation system and heat sink, at least one suitable opening both in renovation and new construction, able to allow all types of peripherals and interventions for any reasons, and able to to be posed and used by any person without particular knowledge with advantageously all means guaranteeing his longevity for secure operation. Use for the automation of motorization including windows shutters, French windows, doors or the like in building structures.

The state of the art described previously by the applicant in his application is known PCT / FR2007 / 051243 published under number WO2007 / 128943 A (D1) which describes a motorization system comprising a new motorization unit with the aim of reducing many of the problems described in its application.

This document D1 teaches a motorization system for at least one opening, a mobile opening with at least one pair of hinges, on hinges integral with the walls of a building structure and adjacent to an opening such as window, French window or the like, comprising a motor (30), a geared motor housed in a cylindrical insert housing wrapped with a cylindrical sealing screen, an electronic control card with an engine stop circuit, said motorization system comprising an intermediate housing separate from the motor housing for housing an electronic card with power supply components of the engine, associated with an electronic card combining the components of commands, settings, control, security and management of all services and autonomous or directed functions necessary and sufficient for their execution and the safe operation of the motorization system.

Among other things, his concern was to reduce the range of tools and interventions for the installation of the system by a professional. More particularly, problem posed is inside the book because requiring other tools for the external installation of the engine box.

Indeed it is inside that must be taken in general feeder son son. These are brought into connection with the motor housing (s), depending on whether there are one or two motorized leaf leaves, through a hole made with a 16mm diameter bit through the wall. These same wires are on the circuit of the manual control also built-in. In addition to the circuit is an electronic module for various functions including learning and others as indicated in the prior art. The latter, which is also built-in, has been designed to be housed in standard standardized standardized reservations for switches or sockets. This had the advantage of already taking conventional tools and using the expertise of professionals.

However it is necessary to count not less than three bookings in total and still the work for the bloodlines of leads of the wires to the various connections.

In renovation this is very delicate when the dwellings are occupied. In new constructions it is always advisable to reduce the number of grooves and recesses. In fine it is always interesting to reduce the intervention time for the installation; There is cost reduction and therefore better competitiveness.

In addition, when the system allows remote commands by waves and whatever the nature of this wave is emitted, it does not reduce the number of recesses.

Electronically the system was limited by its own wave protocol that it could receive. This excludes from the professional market closures having their own protocol for remote motor control. In addition, the nature of remote control waves is varied. From electromagnetic waves to the waves of the light spectrum through sound waves, the palette is wide and each wave type has its own electronic devices. The prior art is confined to a wave choice and is limited to the latter. Otherwise it is for the manufacturer of motorization to make as many electronic modules as wave types. Knowing that each type of wave characterizes within it the waves by the
wavelengths, the task is hard to satisfy the whole while declining the module for each of the characteristics.

All electronic stages have been upgraded to performance and durability for optimal security. Controls and procedures have been improved. The components are commercially available, their combination known for these effects.

We know from the document WO2008 / 046832A a system with intermediate housing in base and circuit support (D2).

Thus, the prior art does not really allow casual handymen or anyone to undertake alone the motorization of its shutters. Now the demand exists but the prior art does not meet this demand by a complexity of tasks as many building trades than that of electrician.

The invention aims to solve these problems by reducing the work of buildings to one or two drilling operations against four previously and making the secure system suitable for consideration by anyone considering to undertake such engines alone. The invention also aims to take advantage of the existing in terms of conductors son while reducing embedding and bleeding and tools.

The solutions their purpose and operation will appear in the description which follows.
