Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for transmitting / receiving radio frequency signals for a domestic appliance powered by an electrical network.
  • transmission / reception device denotes either a transmitting device, a receiving device or a device for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals.
  • a roller shutter comprises a motor which is powered by electrical conductors which are connected to an electrical network.
  • the motor is controlled by the control device which is designed to receive control-carrying radio frequency signals and / or to emit radio frequency signals carrying relative information, for example to a particular state of the apparatus.
  • the present invention is described later through the example of a roller shutter, its scope is not limited to this example but extends to all domestic appliances that are likely to be remotely controlled and / or capable of transmitting information to a remote device by transmitting radio frequency signals.
  • the patent FR2825498 describes a device for remote control of a shutter motor.
  • the control device comprises a radio frequency circuit and a radiofrequency signal transmission / reception antenna.
  • the antenna is connected to the radio frequency supply circuit so that radio frequency signals received by the antenna are applied to the circuit and / or so that the radio frequency signals provided by the circuit are radiated by the antenna.
  • the antenna is formed of an elongated monopole having a dimension of the order of a quarter of the wavelength of the frequency used for controlling the motor; the current frequency ranges for home applications being 433 MHz or 868 MHz, the length of the antenna is then about 17 or 18 cm.
  • the antenna is contained in a protective tube of the engine thus avoiding problems of fragility of the antenna or installation of it.
  • the antenna is electrically coupled to at least one of the power supply conductors of the motor and the controller.
  • the electrical coupling between the electrical conductor (s) and the antenna enables the control device to receive, via the antenna, radio frequency signals picked up by the electrical network which then serves as an antenna for receiving radiofrequency signals transmitted to the device. control.
  • the electrical coupling between the conductor (s) and the antenna enables the control device to transmit radiofrequency signals via the antenna to the electrical network which then serves as an antenna for transmitting radiofrequency signals.
  • the coupling between the antenna and the conductor (s) is a coupling that is both non-galvanic and selective.
  • the antenna which is in the form of a straight strand or a rectilinear printed circuit track, extends parallel to one or more feed conductors at a distance as small as possible to maximize the coupling between the antenna (strand or track) and the conductor (s).
  • the coupling between the antenna and the conductor (s) remains weak.
  • this strand and at least one supply conductor are contained in the same sheath so as to ensure the mechanical stability of their relative positions, that is to say a reliable coupling between them.
  • the antenna is a track of a printed circuit
  • at least one of these electrical conductors is a track parallel to that of the antenna and located in the vicinity thereof on the printed circuit. The reliability of the coupling is then also ensured.
  • the coupling is selective, that is, the antenna and the electrical conductor (s) are electrically coupled for signals in the radio frequency bands used for motor control, typically 433 to 868 MHz. At power supply frequencies, typically 50Hz, the antenna and the conductors are isolated from each other.
  • control device of the patent FR2825498 has advantages in terms of protection of the antenna and reliability of the coupling between the antenna and the electrical conductor or conductors, the length of the quarter-wave antenna and its position parallel to the electrical conductor impose a length minimum of the tube that contains it. While it would be advantageous for such antennas to be smaller because of the limited space that is generally reserved for them in the control devices of domestic appliances.
  • the technical problem solved by the present invention therefore consists in defining a control device of a domestic appliance which has the smallest possible dimensions in order to minimize the space reserved for them, that is to say to define a compact type control device.
  • the present invention relates to a radiofrequency signal transmission / reception device according to the preamble of claim 1, the invention being defined by the characterizing part.
  • the antenna and the electrical conductor are electromagnetically coupled and the space reserved for this transmitting / receiving device in a control device of the domestic appliance is reduced compared to that required for housing a rectilinear antenna according to the invention. state of the art.
  • the present invention also relates to a control device which comprises a radiofrequency signal transmission / reception device above.
  • the present invention relates to a domestic appliance intended to be controlled and / or to transmit information by radiofrequency signals, characterized in that it comprises a control device above.
  • FIG. 1 To the Fig. 1 is shown a diagram of a home appliance controlled by radio frequency signals.
  • the exchange between the home appliance and a remote equipment (not shown) by radio frequency signals is bi-directional, that is to say that this remote equipment can issue a command to the home.
  • the home appliance can also transmit signals to the equipment for, for example, transmitting information on its operating status.
  • the domestic appliance comprises a member M which is, for example, a motor in the case where the domestic appliance is a roller shutter.
  • the motor is powered by an electrical network schematized here by the two electrical conductors CE 1 and CE 2.
  • the home appliance also comprises a device DC control device M by radiofrequency signals.
  • the control device DC comprises a radiofrequency supply circuit CR and a device D for transmitting / receiving radio frequency signals according to the present invention.
  • the function of the radio frequency circuit CR is to control the member M from the command extracted from radiofrequency signals carried by the electrical network and to form radiofrequency signals carrying information to be transmitted over the electrical network.
  • the Fig. 2 schematically represents an embodiment of the device D for transmitting / receiving radio frequency signals according to the present invention.
  • the device D is intended to operate in the UHF radio frequency band ("Ultra High Frequency") which ranges from 300 MHz to 3 GHz.
  • UHF radio frequency band (“Ultra High Frequency") which ranges from 300 MHz to 3 GHz.
  • the invention is not limited to this embodiment of the device that can be adapted to operate in other frequency bands.
  • the device D comprises a substantially rectilinear electrical conductor C connected in series to the electrical conductor CE1 of the electrical network and an antenna A located near the conductor C so that the antenna A and the conductor C are electromagnetically coupled.
  • the antenna A is twisted around the electrical conductor C so as to be electromagnetically coupled with the conductor C when the device D is used in the UHF radio frequency band, and not be coupled together outside this radio frequency band, in particular at the power supply frequencies.
  • One of the two ends A1 of the antenna A is connected to the radio frequency circuit CR while the other end A2 is left free.
  • the antenna is a solenoid.
  • the device D further comprises a reference plane P.
  • Each end C1, respectively C2, of the electrical conductor C is coupled to the reference plane in a zone P1, respectively P2.
  • the coupling, in the area P1, between the reference plane P and the end C2 of the electrical conductor C is provided to fix the load impedance at the frequency of use of the device.
  • the other coupling in the zone P2, is provided to fix the impedance and the frequency matching of the electrical conductor C to the frequency of use of the device.
  • the electrical conductor CE1 is connected near each of these two couplings so that the device D is mounted in series on this electrical conductor CE1.
  • the reference plane P is connected to a mass point PM and the dimensions of the reference plane P are such that it has an impedance much lower than a given characteristic impedance, typically 50 ohms.
  • the length of the electrical conductor CE is of the order of a quarter of the wavelength of the frequency of use of the device.
  • This characteristic associated with the particular position of the end A1 of the antenna makes it possible to obtain a difference between the attenuation between the end C1 of the electrical conductor C and the end A1 of the antenna, of the order of 2 dB at the frequency of use of the device D, typically equal to 868 MHz, and the attenuation between the end C2 of the electrical conductor C and the end A1 of the antenna, of the order of 12 dB at this frequency use.
  • the device D is produced by etching tracks on a circuit FR4 type standard print: the reference plane P and the electrical conductor C are two engraved tracks and the antenna A is an engraved track structure which forms a winding around the track of the electrical conductor.
  • the printed circuit is multilayer.
  • the use of a multilayer printed circuit is particularly advantageous because not only is its realization inexpensive in financial terms but it also allows to isolate the electrical conductor C of the track structure that forms the antenna A.
  • the device D operates in the following manner.
  • the signal is then present on the end C1 and transmitted to the antenna A by electromagnetic coupling between the antenna A and the electrical conductor C
  • the signal is then received by the radio frequency circuit CR which obtains the command from this signal.
  • the impedance on the end C2 of the conductor C, then connected to charges connected to the electrical network is then substantially equal to the characteristic impedance determined by the dimensions of the electrical conductor C.
  • the device D can be characterized as being directional, that is to say that the radiofrequency signals picked up by the conductor CE 1 enter and leave at the same end of the conductor C, in this case C1.
