Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control device for positioning a blind or a shutter with a default unit having an adjustment, with the operating modes of a Hauptstell Schlos the upper end of the blind / shutter, the lower end position of the blind / shutter and any intermediate positions of the blind / of the shutter are adjustable, these values are converted by means of a converter into setpoint signals and a comparison device forms a guideway signal in response to the setpoint signal and the actual position of the blind / shutter corresponding actual value signal and a drive unit for the blind / roller shutter supplies.
  • a control device for positioning a blind or a roller shutter is known.
  • An electronic control system has a memory for storing the current position of the blind or the shutter.
  • a default unit for specifying a desired position of the blind or shutter is connected to the control electronics on the input side.
  • the control electronics acts on the output side via a relay motor to realize an upward movement or downward movement of the blind or shutter.
  • the desired position of the blind or shutter is set and then automatically approached without the user during the travel time of the blind or the shutter at the control stay and make another operation of the control.
  • Venetian blind switches for adjusting blinds or roller shutters are widely used and represent a significant comfort for both private households as well as for the business and industrial sector. It is in principle to control the tubular motors that drive the blind or shutters in the shutter switches two switches are used, which allow the upward and downward movement.
  • a manually operated rotary knob (setting wheel) is used, that closes one of the two mechanical switching contacts “up” or “down” when actuated accordingly.
  • the roller shutter or the shutter is actuated until the rotary wheel is turned back to its “zero position” or until the limit switches integrated in the system switch off the current branch when the end position is reached.
  • More comfortable shutter switches - also referred to below as electronic shutter switches - have electrical relays for the function of the switch contacts.
  • the switching contacts can be indirectly controlled by different user interfaces.
  • user interfaces with a button field should be mentioned here. These allow for a short operation, an adjustment of the blind or the shutter into the final position. Pressing again during the adjustment stops the process. In this way, in principle all desired intermediate positions (intermediate positions) can be set here.
  • the DE 10 2006 048 548 A1 In the case of all embodiments, it is a fundamental circumstance to have to remain at the blind switch at desired intermediate positions until the position is reached.
  • a default unit potentiometer or incremental encoder
  • the desired position is specified by the absolute position to be set of a potentiometer or an LED chain following an incremental encoder.
  • a control device for the control of blinds or shutters is provided, with a default setting the setting of a direct absolute position of the blind or the shutter is given.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an optimized control device for positioning a blind or a roller shutter.
  • a particular advantage is provided by the fact that the absolute position setting and the time / memory setting respectively time / memory control in a single device is made possible by means of a single adjustment.
  • the increased functionality is achieved with minimal circuit and cost.
  • the default unit including setting device and optionally display panel can be installed in a standard 60mm flush-mounted box according to DIN49073, so that integration into a socket / switch installation program with uniform cover frame and uniform design is given.
  • the figure shows a default unit 1, which is an adjustment 2 for selecting and specifying a mode (selected from several modes) and optionally a display panel 3, z. B. has an LED display panel for displaying the currently set mode.
  • a default unit 1 which is an adjustment 2 for selecting and specifying a mode (selected from several modes) and optionally a display panel 3, z. B. has an LED display panel for displaying the currently set mode.
  • two different ranges namely one main operating range and one special operating range, are to be distinguished in principle.
  • any manually executed blinds / roller shutter drives can thus be carried out under specification of any absolute position settings.
  • the memory value MP is stored beforehand with the aid of an input unit 5 (for example, in the form of a signal pushbutton) in a memory 4 ("memory memory”) for storing a desired position of the blind / shutter.
  • a memory 4 for storing a desired position of the blind / shutter.
  • an input unit 7 eg. designed in the form of a signal key
  • the memory value MPZ is stored in advance in a memory 6 ("memory memory") for storing a desired actuation time (time) for the blind / roller shutter.
  • first memory value MP and only a single second memory value MPZ are to be specified in the special function area.
  • two or more first memory values MP1, MP2 ... can also be predetermined and stored.
  • the same two or more second memory values MPZ1, MPZ2 ... can be specified and stored.
  • Links between a first memory value MP and several second memory values MPZ1, MPZ2... Can be set / stored, i. H. In such a case, the shutter / roller shutter should be moved to one (specific) position every day (every twenty-four hours) at more than one specific time.
  • the same can also set / stored fixed links between a first memory value MP1 and a second memory value MPZ1, between a first memory value MP2 and a second memory value MPZ2, etc .; H.
  • the blinds / shutters should be moved every day (every twenty-four hours) to a certain first time in a certain first position and at a certain second time in a certain second position.
  • the defaulting unit 1 outputs a corresponding value - for example OE or Z4 or UE - to a converter 10, which outputs this input value converted into a setpoint signal SP for the position of the blind / shutter.
  • the setpoint signal SP is fed to a comparison device 11, which is present as a second input signal, the actual value signal IP corresponding to the current position of the blind / shutter.
  • the current actual value signal IP is a memory 12 for storing the current position of the blind / shutter removed.
  • the comparison device 11 forms depending on the deviation between the setpoint signal SP and actual value signal IP a travel signal FW (control value signal) for the blind / roller shutter, which is required to bring the blind / roller shutter from the current position to the desired position.
  • the travel signal FW is also the Memory 12 supplied so that the change in position of the blind / shutter can also be considered in the memory 12.
  • the travel signal FW is thereby supplied to a drive unit 13 which has a connection for (230V) power lines 14 and, on the output side, acts on a motor 15 of the blind / shutter.
  • the drive unit 13 for example, a power supply and multiple relays.
  • the presetting unit 1 outputs an activation signal AP to the memory 4.
  • the memory value stored in the memory 4 for the desired position of the blind / roller shutter is forwarded to the converter 10.
  • the presetting unit 1 outputs an activation signal AZ to the memory 6.
  • the memory value stored in the memory 6 for the desired actuation time (time) is fed to the first input of a comparator 9.
  • the second input of the comparator 9 is connected to a current time specifying timer 8 (clock).
  • the comparator 9 detects a match between the current time and the memory value MPZ, it activates the memory 4, whereupon the memory value MP is output to the converter 10.
  • the motor 15 is acted upon in the manner explained above with the inclusion of the memory 12, the comparison device 11 and the drive unit 13.
  • a simple possibility for specifying / setting first memory values MP and respective associated second memory values MPZ is that a shutter or roller shutter operation is performed at the desired (time to be set), wherein in each case the input units 5 and 7 are to be actuated. This saves the event (time plus blind position / shutter position).
  • the adjusting device 2 can be designed either in the form of a rotary potentiometer or in the form of an incremental encoder.
  • the respective activated mode is advantageous even without further action on the position of the adjuster 2 optically recognizable.
  • the manual movement (operating mode of the main control range) from the "Memory mode" (operating mode in the special function range) is effected by turning the potentiometer to the desired absolute position (absolute position setting such as OE, UE, Z1 ... Z7). If the "memory mode" is to be set again immediately afterwards, this can be done directly by corresponding rotation of the potentiometer without first having to wait until reaching the previously manually set absolute position (shutter position / shutter position). This is realized z. B. by determining the position of the blind / roller shutter when reversing the direction of the potentiometer as a desired position.
  • the desired potentiometer position is set, confirmed by a short key press (signal key as input unit) and then the "Memory mode" is established again.
  • a mode of operation of the special function area (activation of a memory function) is set by making a rotation exceeding a rotation required for a manual absolute position adjustment. Since the predefined operating mode can not be recognized by the position of the setting device, the currently activated operating mode is preferably displayed by means of the display field 3 (eg designed as an LED field).
  • the default unit 1 may have an extension switch output so as to provide the generated signals to an extension device or to multiple extension devices.
