Abstract

The method involves carrying out orientation of opening or closing of two or three adjacent orientable slats (3') one after the other during execution of orientation control, in an orientation mode i.e. gradual orientation mode. The orientation of opening or closing of the two or three adjacent orientable slats is carried out simultaneously during execution of the control in another orientation mode i.e. fully extended/retracted orientation mode. The gradual orientation mode or the fully extended/retracted orientation mode is determined based on a position of a shutter during the execution. An independent claim is also included for an orientable slat integrated movable screen for a building.

Description

L'invention concerne un procédé de fonctionnement d'un écran mobile à lames orientables motorisé à l'aide d'un actionneur électromécanique dans un bâtiment et en particulier un procédé de fonctionnement lié à l'orientation des lames de l'écran mobile. L'invention concerne encore un tel écran mobile motorisé.The invention relates to a method for operating a moving screen with motorized steerable blades by means of an electromechanical actuator in a building and in particular an operating method related to the orientation of the blades of the mobile screen. The invention also relates to such a motorized mobile screen.

Un actionneur électromécanique permet le pilotage motorisé d'éléments d'occultation ou de protection solaires placés au niveau d'ouvertures dans un bâtiment. En particulier, il permet de piloter un écran mobile comprenant des lames orientables, tel qu'un volet roulant à lames orientables, un store vénitien d'intérieur ou d'extérieur, ou des panneaux orientables. Elle concerne également un procédé de fonctionnement d'un tel dispositifAn electromechanical actuator allows the motorized control of occultation or sun protection elements placed at openings in a building. In particular, it allows to control a mobile screen comprising steerable blades, such as a rolling shutter with adjustable blades, a venetian blind indoor or outdoor, or adjustable panels. It also relates to a method of operating such a device

On connaît différents dispositifs d'écrans à lames orientables, dont le mouvement est piloté par des actionneurs électromécaniques. Ces installations comprennent généralement un basculeur mécanique, coopérant avec un pion en extrémité d'une des lames du tablier. Lorsque le pion est déplacé dans le basculeur, par suite d'un mouvement global du tablier, l'ensemble des lames peut être incliné par rapport au plan principal dans lequel se déplace le tablier. Au déplacement du pion dans le basculeur correspond un angle de basculement des lames. Un tel basculeur est décrit dans le brevet FR2573551 .Various devices are known blades steerable, whose movement is controlled by electromechanical actuators. These installations generally comprise a mechanical rocker cooperating with a pin at the end of one of the blades of the deck. When the pin is moved in the rocker, as a result of an overall movement of the deck, the set of blades can be inclined relative to the main plane in which the deck moves. The movement of the pin in the rocker corresponds to a tilting angle of the blades. Such a rocker is described in the patent FR2573551 .

De manière assez similaire, les volets dits à lames ajourées permettent d'obtenir un écartement des lames situées au bas du tablier pour permettre une aération et un clair de jour. Ils ne permettent cependant pas de libérer un champ de vision intéressant et susceptible de satisfaire un utilisateur.In a similar way, so-called shutters with perforated blades allow to obtain a spacing of the blades located at the bottom of the deck to allow aeration and clear day. However, they do not allow not to release an interesting field of vision and likely to satisfy a user.

On connaît des documents DE10120998 et EP1149977 un dispositif de store à lames orientables dans lequel deux ensembles de lames sont montés sur des échelles indépendantes. Ainsi, il est possible de commander des orientations de lames différentes pour les deux ensembles de lames.Documents are known DE10120998 and EP1149977 a slatted awning device in which two sets of slats are mounted on independent ladders. Thus, it is possible to order different blade orientations for both sets of blades.

Le but de l'invention est de fournir un procédé de fonctionnement remédiant aux inconvénients mentionnés et améliorant les procédés connus de l'art antérieur. En particulier, l'invention se propose donc de résoudre les problèmes cités liés à l'art antérieur et d'offrir un procédé de fonctionnement incluant l'orientation des lames, qui soit à la fois intuitif et simple. En particulier, l'invention propose un dispositif de commande d'un tablier qui permette d'assurer à la fois la sécurité lorsqu'il est fermé et qui offre une pluralité de solutions de confort aux utilisateurs.The object of the invention is to provide an operating method which overcomes the disadvantages mentioned and improves the methods known from the prior art. In particular, the invention therefore proposes to solve the problems cited related to the prior art and to provide an operating method including the orientation of the blades, which is both intuitive and simple. In particular, the invention provides a control device of an apron that provides both safety when closed and offers a plurality of comfort solutions to users.

Le procédé comprend un premier et un deuxième modes d'orientation distincts dans lesquels la séquence d'orientation d'ouverture ou de fermeture de deux lames orientables adjacentes, voire de trois lames orientables adjacentes, est différente, voire dans lesquels les séquences d'orientation d'ouverture ou de fermeture des lames de deux couples de lames orientables adjacentes sont différentes.According to the invention, the method governs the operation of a movable screen with steerable blades of a building, the screen being motorized using an electromechanical actuator, a set of blades forming an apron that can be moved between two extreme positions and at least some of the blades can be oriented relative to the plane of the deck, on receiving commands respectively moving and orientation of the blades. The method comprises a first and a second distinct orientation mode in which the opening or closing orientation sequence of two adjacent steerable blades, or even three adjacent steerable blades, is different, or even in which the orientation sequences opening or closing of the blades of two pairs of adjacent steerable blades are different.

La séquence d'orientation des deux lames orientables adjacentes, voire des trois lames orientables adjacentes, peut être réalisée différemment pour une même commande d'orientation effectuée dans les premier et deuxième modes.The orientation sequence of the two adjacent steerable blades, or even three adjacent steerable blades, can be performed differently for the same orientation control performed in the first and second modes.

Le premier mode d'orientation peut être un mode d'orientation graduel, dans lequel les deux lames orientables adjacentes, voire des trois lames orientables adjacentes, sont orientées l'une après l'autre au cours de l'exécution de la commande d'orientation.The first orientation mode may be a gradual orientation mode, in which the two adjacent steerable blades, or even three adjacent steerable blades, are oriented one after the other during the execution of the control of orientation.

Les lames peuvent être orientées les unes après les autres à partir de la lame la plus proche d'un tube d'enroulement du tablier de l'écran.The blades can be oriented one after the other from the blade closest to a winding tube of the apron of the screen.

Un ordre de commande correspondant à un positionnement intermédiaire peut provoquer un basculement d'un nombre de lames prédéfini.A control command corresponding to an intermediate position can cause a change of a predefined number of blades.

Le deuxième mode d'orientation peut être un mode d'orientation tout-ou-rien, dans lequel les deux lames orientables adjacentes, voire trois lames orientables adjacentes, sont orientées simultanément au cours de l'exécution de la commande d'orientation.The second orientation mode may be an all-or-nothing orientation mode, in which the two adjacent steerable blades, or even three adjacent steerable blades, are oriented simultaneously during the execution of the orientation control.

Le mode d'orientation peut être déterminé en fonction de la position du tablier au moment de l'exécution de la commande d'orientation.The orientation mode can be determined according to the position of the apron at the time of the execution of the orientation command.

La course totale du tablier peut être subdivisée en plusieurs zones, une première zone correspondant au premier mode d'orientation des lames, une deuxième zone correspondant au deuxième mode d'orientation des lames.The total travel of the deck can be subdivided into several zones, a first zone corresponding to the first mode of orientation of the blades, a second zone corresponding to the second mode of orientation of the blades.

Le mode d'orientation peut être déterminé par une commande particulière associée à chacun des modes d'orientation et distincte d'une commande d'ouverture et de fermeture.The orientation mode can be determined by a particular command associated with each of the orientation modes and distinct from an open and close command.

Les lames peuvent être orientées avant un déplacement du tablier vers l'une des deux positions extrêmes, en particulier vers la position d'enroulement.The blades can be oriented before a movement of the deck towards one of the two extreme positions, in particular towards the winding position.

Les lames orientées peuvent être maintenues orientées au cours d'au moins une partie du déplacement du tablier vers la position extrême, en particulier vers la position d'enroulement.The oriented blades can be kept oriented during at least part of the movement of the apron to the end position, in particular to the winding position.

Les lames peuvent être basculées vers leur position non orientée avant un déplacement du tablier vers l'autre position extrême, en particulier vers la position de déroulement.The blades can be tilted to their unoriented position before moving the apron to the other extreme position, in particular to the unwinding position.

Selon l'invention, l'écran mobile à lames orientables d'un bâtiment est motorisé à l'aide d'un actionneur électromécanique, un ensemble de lames formant un tablier pouvant être déplacé entre deux positions extrêmes et au moins certaines des lames pouvant être orientées par rapport au plan de du tablier, sur réception de commandes respectivement de déplacement et d'orientation des lames. L'écran comprend des moyens matériels et/ou logiciels de mise en oeuvre des étapes du procédé défini précédemment.According to the invention, the mobile screen with steerable blades of a building is motorized with the aid of an electromechanical actuator, a set of blades forming an apron that can be moved between two extreme positions and at least some of the blades that can be oriented relative to the plane of the deck, on receipt of commands respectively displacement and orientation of the blades. The screen comprises hardware and / or software means for implementing the steps of the method defined above.

Les moyens matériels et/ou logiciels peuvent comprendre un moyen de définition de la séquence d'orientation d'ouverture ou de fermeture de deux lames orientables adjacentes, voire de trois lames orientables adjacentes, différemment dans un premier et un deuxième modes d'orientation, voire de définition de séquences d'orientation, d'ouverture ou de fermeture des lames de deux couples de lames orientables adjacentes différemment dans le premier et le deuxième modes d'orientation et un moyen de détermination de l'activation du premier mode d'orientation ou du deuxième mode d'orientation.The material and / or software means may comprise means for defining the opening or closing orientation sequence of two adjacent steerable blades, or even three adjacent steerable blades, differently in a first and a second orientation mode, even definition of orientation sequences, opening or closing of the blades of two pairs of steerable blades adjacent differently in the first and second orientation modes and means for determining the activation of the first orientation mode or the second orientation mode.

Les moyens matériels peuvent comprendre une première et une deuxième zones distinctes de position de la lame finale, les lames étant dépendantes d'un moyen d'orientation des lames dans la première zone et indépendantes de celui-ci dans la deuxième zone.The material means may comprise first and second distinct zones of position of the final blade, the blades being dependent on a means of orientation of the blades in the first zone and independent thereof in the second zone.

L'invention concerne aussi un support d'enregistrement de données lisible par un calculateur sur lequel est enregistré un programme informatique comprenant des moyens de codes de programme informatique de mise en oeuvre des phases et/ou étapes du procédé défini précédemment.The invention also relates to a data storage medium readable by a computer on which is recorded a computer program comprising computer program code means for implementing the phases and / or steps of the method defined above.

L'invention concerne encore un programme informatique comprenant un moyen de code de programme informatique adapté à la réalisation des étapes du procédé défini précédemment, lorsque le programme tourne sur un ordinateur ou calculateur.The invention further relates to a computer program comprising computer program code means adapted to perform the steps of the method defined above, when the program runs on a computer or computer.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • La figure 1 représente un schéma d'un premier mode de réalisation d'un écran selon l'invention.
  • La figure 2 est un ordinogramme d'une première procédure de fonctionnement d'un écran selon l'invention.
  • La figure 3 est un ordinogramme d'une deuxième procédure de fonctionnement d'un écran selon l'invention.
  • La figure 4 représente deux schémas d'un écran selon l'invention, dans deux configurations différentes.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • The figure 1 represents a diagram of a first embodiment of a screen according to the invention.
  • The figure 2 is a flow chart of a first operating procedure of a screen according to the invention.
  • The figure 3 is a flow chart of a second operating procedure of a screen according to the invention.
  • The figure 4 represents two diagrams of a screen according to the invention, in two different configurations.

La figure 1 montre de manière schématique un mode de réalisation d'un d'écran mobile motorisé ou dispositif 100 d'écran mobile motorisé selon l'invention. Le dispositif d'écran motorisé à lames orientables, par exemple un volet roulant à lames orientables, comprend un ensemble de lames formant un tablier 4, dont certaines 3 sont fixes et d'autres 3' sont mobiles en rotation. L'écran est piloté en mouvement par un actionneur 10, notamment un actionneur électromécanique, disposé dans un tube d'enroulement (et représenté pour la lisibilité de la figure en dehors de celui-ci) autour duquel s'enroule le tablier lorsque l'écran s'ouvre. Il se déplace entre deux glissières latérales de guidage des lames. Ces glissières sont aptes à permettent la translation et la rotation des différentes lames.The figure 1 shows schematically an embodiment of a motorized mobile screen or motorized screen device 100 according to the invention. The motorized screen device with adjustable blades, for example a rolling shutter with steerable blades, comprises a set of blades forming an apron 4, some 3 are fixed and others 3 'are rotatable. The screen is driven in motion by an actuator 10, in particular an electromechanical actuator, disposed in a winding tube (and shown for the legibility of the figure outside thereof) around which the apron is wound when the screen opens. It moves between two lateral guides for guiding the blades. These slides are capable of allowing the translation and rotation of the different blades.

Le tablier peut comprendre une certaine quantité de lames fixes (non-orientables) entre le tube d'enroulement et la lame basculante supérieure. De même au bas du tablier, une certaine quantité de lames fixes peut être disposée au bas de la lame basculante inférieure. Seules certaines lames centrales sont alors basculantes, sans que cela ne change le procédé de fonctionnement par rapport à un tablier dont toutes les lames seraient basculantes ou orientables.The apron may include a certain amount of fixed blades (non-steerable) between the winding tube and the upper tilting blade. Similarly at the bottom of the deck, a certain amount of fixed blades can be arranged at the bottom of the lower tilting blade. Only some central blades are then tilting, without this changing the operating method compared to an apron with all blades would be tilting or steerable.

Le dispositif comprend également un basculeur représenté schématiquement par la référence 7, notamment un basculeur à friction, permettant l'orientation d'au moins certaines lames.The device also comprises a rocker shown schematically by the reference 7, in particular a friction rocker, allowing the orientation of at least some blades.

L'actionneur comprend une partie électromécanique 11 (moteur, réducteur, frein), reliée à une unité électronique de commande 12. L'unité de commande pilote les opérations de la partie électromécanique de l'actionneur par un transfert d'information (sous forme de communication électrique principalement) symbolisé par une double flèche 13. Le tablier est conduit sous l'action de l'actionneur, entre des positions extrêmes FDCH et FDCB, de la même manière que pour un volet roulant classique sans lames orientables. En particulier, la lame finale du tablier, la plus éloignée du tube d'enroulement, se déplace entre ces deux positions.The actuator comprises an electromechanical portion 11 (motor, gear, brake), connected to an electronic control unit 12. The control unit controls the operations of the electromechanical part of the actuator by an information transfer (in the form of electrical communication mainly) symbolized by a double arrow 13. The apron is driven under the action of the actuator, between extreme positions FDCH and FDCB, in the same way as for a conventional roller shutter without adjustable blades. In particular, the final deck blade, furthest from the winding tube, moves between these two positions.

L'actionneur peut comprendre divers capteurs, comme par exemple un capteur de couple 16, un capteur de position 17. Il comprend également un récepteur d'ordres 18 (dans le cas d'un actionneur à communication bidirectionnelle, le récepteur d'ordres est donc un émetteur-récepteur) muni d'une antenne 19 et des moyens matériels et/ou logiciels permettant de régir son fonctionnement conformément au procédé de fonctionnement objet de l'invention.The actuator may comprise various sensors, such as for example a torque sensor 16, a position sensor 17. It also comprises a command receiver 18 (in the case of a bidirectional communication actuator, the command receiver is therefore a transceiver) provided with an antenna 19 and hardware and / or software means for governing its operation in accordance with the operating method of the invention.

Le dispositif est associé à un point de commande 20 relié par un réseau de communication 40 filaire ou sans fil. Le point de commande comprend par exemple un premier ensemble 20a de deux touches 21 et 22, permettant la transmission d'un ordre de commande de déplacement de l'écran, c'est-à-dire d'ouverture ou de fermeture de l'écran. Le point de commande comprend à cet effet un émetteur d'ordres 28 muni d'une antenne 29, l'émetteur d'ordres étant apte à communiquer avec le récepteur d'ordres de l'actionneur. Lorsque cet ordre est reçu par le récepteur de l'actionneur, il est traduit en une action mécanique réalisant l'ouverture ou la fermeture de l'écran par enroulement des lames au niveau d'une position haute proche du caisson ou par déploiement des lames vers une position basse. Un élément central 20b par exemple sous forme d'une molette permet de commander une orientation des lames dans un premier sens ou dans un deuxième sens.The device is associated with a control point 20 connected by a wired or wireless communication network 40. The control point comprises, for example, a first set 20a of two keys 21 and 22, enabling the transmission of a control command for moving the screen, that is to say opening or closing the screen. screen. The control point comprises for this purpose an order transmitter 28 provided with an antenna 29, the command transmitter being able to communicate with the command receiver of the actuator. When this order is received by the receiver of the actuator, it is translated into a mechanical action making the opening or closing of the screen by winding the blades at a high position close to the box or by deployment of the blades to a low position. A central element 20b for example in the form of a wheel makes it possible to control an orientation of the blades in a first direction or in a second direction.

Les différents ordres peuvent également être transmis au moyen d'une télécommande comprenant trois boutons de commande (Montée, Descente, Stop), différents types d'appuis sur les différentes touches donnant lieu à des ordres différents, y compris des ordres d'orientation.The different commands can also be transmitted by means of a remote control comprising three buttons (Climb, Descent, Stop), different types of support on the different keys giving rise to different orders, including orders of orientation.

Dans ces différents cas, les commandes d'orientation peuvent être émises à partir des touches de commande de déplacement. Une ergonomie particulière d'appui sur ces touches (par exemples appuis longs, d'une durée supérieure à 0,5s par exemple pour les déplacements - appuis courts, d'une durée inférieure à 0,5s pour les orientations) permet alors de distinguer les commandes de déplacement des commandes d'orientation.In these cases, the orientation commands can be issued from the motion control keys. Particular ergonomics of support on these keys (for example long supports, of a duration greater than 0.5s for example for displacements - short supports, lasting less than 0.5s for orientations) then makes it possible to distinguish the commands of displacement of the commands of orientation.

Une diode lumineuse 24 (ou tout autre élément d'interface graphique, par exemple un écran) permet une visualisation d'information au niveau du point de commande.A light-emitting diode 24 (or any other graphical interface element, for example a screen) makes it possible to display information at the control point.

Les ordres ou commandes transmis par le point de commande, soit directement au récepteur d'ordre, soit par l'intermédiaire d'un boîtier de commande non représenté comprennent une indication de type d'ordre (ouverture, fermeture, orientation sens 1 ou sens 2, positionnement intermédiaire, etc.) qui qualifie le mouvement mécanique à donner à l'écran mobile.The orders or commands transmitted by the control point, either directly to the order receiver, or through a not shown control box include an order type indication (opening, closing, orientation direction 1 or direction 2, intermediate positioning, etc.) which qualifies the mechanical movement to give to the mobile screen.

Conformément à l'invention, le dispositif peut fonctionner selon un des trois modes suivants : un mode de déplacement et deux modes distincts d'orientation.According to the invention, the device can operate in one of three modes: a mode of displacement and two distinct modes of orientation.

Un premier mode d'orientation est dit mode d'orientation graduelle des lames. Par orientation « graduelle des lames », on entend l'orientation successive d'une lame après l'autre au cours d'un mouvement imprimé au tube d'enroulement. Les lames sont orientées sans déplacement de la lame finale de l'écran. La séquence d'orientation de deux lames adjacentes, voire trois lames adjacentes, est donc définie par un mouvement successif de chacune des deux lames, voire de chacune des trois lames. L'orientation graduelle peut par exemple être obtenue grâce à l'utilisation du basculeur à friction, dont le fonctionnement est décrit plus loin.A first mode of orientation is said mode of gradual orientation of the blades. "Gradual orientation of the blades" means the successive orientation of one blade after the other during a printed motion to the winding tube. The blades are oriented without moving the final blade of the screen. The orientation sequence of two blades adjacent, or three adjacent blades, is defined by a successive movement of each of the two blades, or each of the three blades. The gradual orientation can for example be obtained through the use of the friction rocker, whose operation is described below.

Si on considère trois lames adjacentes (une lame supérieure, une lame intermédiaire, une lame inférieure), la séquence d'orientation de ces trois lames adjacentes implique, dans le premier mode, des positions d'orientation différentes de la lame supérieure, la lame intermédiaire et la lame inférieure à un instant donné au cours du mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture de l'écran.If we consider three adjacent blades (an upper blade, an intermediate blade, a lower blade), the orientation sequence of these three adjacent blades involves, in the first mode, different orientation positions of the upper blade, the blade intermediate and the lower blade at a given time during the opening or closing movement of the screen.

Si on considère deux couples de lames adjacentes, dans le premier mode, chacune des lames d'un premier couple de lames subit une séquence successive d'orientation des lames au cours du mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture de l'écran. Dans le premier mode, chacune des lames d'un deuxième couple de lames subit aussi une séquence successive d'orientation des lames lors de l'ouverture ou de la fermeture.If two pairs of adjacent blades are considered, in the first mode, each of the blades of a first pair of blades undergoes a successive sequence of orientation of the blades during the opening or closing movement of the screen. In the first mode, each blade of a second pair of blades is also subjected to a successive sequence of orientation of the blades during opening or closing.

Un deuxième mode d'orientation est dit mode d'orientation tout-ou-rien. Dans ce mode d'orientation, les lames sont toutes orientées simultanément; elles passent de la position fermée ou non orientée, à une position ouverte, dont l'angle d'inclinaison est identique pour toutes les lames. La séquence d'orientation de deux lames adjacentes, voire trois lames adjacentes, est donc définie par un mouvement simultané des deux lames, voire de chacune des trois lames. La position ouverte ou inclinée ouverte ou orientée des lames est de préférence telle que les lames sont orientées d'un angle d'environ 45° par rapport au plan du tablier. La position fermée ou non-orientée des lames est de préférence telle que les lames sont orientées au moins sensiblement parallèlement au plan du tablier.A second mode of orientation is said mode of orientation all-or-nothing. In this orientation mode, the blades are all oriented simultaneously; they move from the closed or unoriented position to an open position, the angle of inclination is identical for all blades. The orientation sequence of two adjacent blades, or even three adjacent blades, is defined by a simultaneous movement of the two blades, or each of the three blades. The open or inclined open or oriented position of the blades is preferably such that the blades are oriented at an angle of about 45 ° with respect to the plane of the deck. The closed or non-oriented position of the blades is preferably such that the blades are oriented at least substantially parallel to the plane of the deck.

Toujours en considérant les trois lames adjacentes (une lame supérieure, une lame intermédiaire, une lame inférieure), dans le deuxième mode, la séquence d'orientation de ces trois lames adjacentes implique, dans le deuxième mode, des positions d'orientation équivalentes de la lame supérieure, la lame intermédiaire et la lame inférieure à un instant donné au cours du mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture de l'écran.Still considering the three adjacent blades (an upper blade, an intermediate blade, a lower blade), in the second mode, the orientation sequence of these three adjacent blades involves, in the second mode, equivalent orientation positions of the upper blade, the intermediate blade and the lower blade at a given time during the opening or closing movement of the screen.

Si on considère deux couples de lames adjacentes, chacune des lames du premier couple de lames subit une séquence simultanée d'orientation des lames du mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture du volet dans le deuxième mode. Toujours en considérant ces couples de lames adjacentes, dans le deuxième mode, chacune des lames du deuxième couple de lames subit aussi une séquence simultanée d'orientation des lames lors de l'ouverture ou de la fermeture.If two pairs of adjacent blades are considered, each of the blades of the first pair of blades undergoes a simultaneous sequence of orientation of the blades of the opening or closing movement of the flap in the second mode. Still considering these pairs of adjacent blades, in the second mode, each of the blades of the second pair of blades also undergoes a simultaneous sequence of orientation of the blades during opening or closing.

Ainsi, les séquences d'orientation d'ouverture ou de fermeture des lames de chacun des deux couples de lames orientables, notamment de chacun des deux couples de lames orientables adjacentes, sont chacune différentes dans les premier et deuxième modes. L'orientation d'une lame d'un couple par rapport à l'autre lame de ce couple est ainsi spécifique du mode d'orientation.Thus, the opening or closing orientation sequences of the blades of each of the two pairs of steerable blades, in particular of each of the two pairs of adjacent steerable blades, are each different in the first and second modes. The orientation of a blade of one pair relative to the other blade of this pair is thus specific to the orientation mode.

Une première séquence d'orientation d'ouverture ou de fermeture des lames du premier couple de lames orientables adjacentes, exécutée dans le premier mode d'orientation (par exemple une séquence successive d'orientation), est différente de cette première séquence d'orientation d'ouverture ou de fermeture des lames du premier couple de lames orientables adjacentes, exécutée dans le deuxième mode d'orientation (par exemple une séquence simultanée), De même, une deuxième séquence d'orientation d'ouverture ou de fermeture des lames du deuxième couple de lames orientables adjacentes, exécutée dans le premier mode d'orientation (par exemple une séquence successive d'orientation), est différente de cette deuxième séquence d'orientation d'ouverture ou de fermeture des lames du deuxième couple de lames orientables adjacentes, exécutée dans le deuxième mode d'orientation (par exemple une séquence simultanée). Les premier et deuxième couples peuvent être adjacents.A first orientation sequence of opening or closing of the blades of the first pair of adjacent steerable blades, performed in the first orientation mode (for example a successive orientation sequence), is different from this first orientation sequence. opening or closing the blades of the first pair of adjacent steerable blades, executed in the second mode a second orientation sequence of opening or closing of the blades of the second pair of adjacent steerable blades, executed in the first orientation mode (for example a sequential sequence orientation), is different from this second orientation sequence of opening or closing of the blades of the second pair of adjacent steerable blades, performed in the second orientation mode (for example a simultaneous sequence). The first and second couples may be adjacent.

L'écran mobile à lames orientables comprend des moyens matériels et/ou des moyens logiciels permettant de régir son fonctionnement conformément au procédé objet de l'invention, notamment de régir les étapes de ce procédé et leurs enchaînements. Les moyens matériels comprennent l'unité électronique de commande. Les moyens logiciels peuvent être contenus dans l'unité électronique de commande. Les moyens logiciels peuvent notamment comprendre un moyen de code de programme informatique adapté à la réalisation des étapes du procédé selon l'invention, lorsque le programme tourne sur un ordinateur. Les moyens logiciels comprennent :

  • un moyen de définition de la séquence d'orientation d'ouverture ou de fermeture de deux lames orientables adjacentes, voire de trois lames orientables adjacentes, différemment dans un premier et un deuxième modes d'orientation, voire de définition des séquences d'orientation d'ouverture ou de fermeture des lames de chacun de deux couples de lames orientables adjacentes différemment dans le premier et le deuxième modes d'orientation, et
  • un moyen de détermination de l'activation du premier mode d'orientation ou du deuxième mode d'orientation.
The mobile screen with adjustable blades comprises hardware means and / or software means for controlling its operation in accordance with the method of the invention, in particular to govern the steps of this method and their sequences. The material means comprise the electronic control unit. The software means may be contained in the electronic control unit. The software means may in particular comprise a computer program code means adapted to performing the steps of the method according to the invention, when the program runs on a computer. The software means include:
  • means for defining the opening or closing orientation sequence of two adjacent steerable blades, or even three adjacent steerable blades, differently in a first and a second orientation mode, or even for defining orientation sequences of opening or closing the blades of each of two pairs of adjacent steerable blades differently in the first and second orientation modes, and
  • means for determining the activation of the first orientation mode or the second orientation mode.

Ces deux moyens sont par exemple des modules de l'unité électronique de commande.These two means are for example modules of the electronic control unit.

Le mode de déplacement est décrit en relation avec les ordinogrammes des figures 2 et 3.The mode of displacement is described in relation to the flowcharts of figures 2 and 3 .

En particulier, comme représenté à la figure 2, une commande d'ouverture émise au cours d'une étape S1 par le biais du point de commande et reçue au cours d'une étape S2 par le dispositif, alors que la lame finale de l'écran est en position de fin de course basse FDCB, a pour objet la remontée du tablier, et en particulier, la remontée de la lame finale du tablier. La commande d'ouverture provoque dans un premier temps l'orientation graduelle des lames non orientées au moment de l'émission de cette commande. L'étape S3 permet de symboliser les alternatives : les lames sont toutes ou en partie inclinées, voire aucune des lames n'est inclinée au moment de la réception de la commande d'ouverture. Si les lames ne sont pas toutes en position inclinée ouverte à l'étape S3, la commande provoque d'abord une orientation graduelle des lames fermées vers une position inclinée ouverte au cours de l'étape S4, avant que la lame finale du tablier ne soit entraînée vers le haut au cours de l'étape S7. Si toutes les lames sont déjà orientées en position inclinée ouverte, les lames sont maintenues dans cette position inclinée ouverte (étape S5) et la lame finale du tablier est entraînée vers le haut au cours de l'étape S7.In particular, as shown in figure 2 , an opening command issued during a step S1 through the control point and received during a step S2 by the device, while the final blade of the screen is in the end position low FDCB, has for object the rise of the apron, and in particular, the rise of the final blade of the apron. The opening command initially causes the gradual orientation of the blades not oriented at the time of issue of this command. Step S3 makes it possible to symbolize the alternatives: the blades are all or partly inclined, or none of the blades are inclined at the time of receipt of the opening command. If the blades are not all in the open inclined position in step S3, the control first causes a gradual orientation of the closed blades to an open inclined position in step S4, before the final deck blade is driven up during step S7. If all the blades are already oriented in an open inclined position, the blades are held in this open inclined position (step S5) and the final deck blade is driven upward in step S7.

Du fait de l'ouverture systématique de la totalité des lames basculantes lors de l'exécution d'une commande d'ouverture, l'utilisateur dispose au plus vite d'un champ de vision optimal. Il n'est donc pas nécessaire d'attendre la remontée complète du tablier pour avoir une vision vers l'extérieur. Les lames se ferment automatiquement et successivement lors de l'enroulement du tablier autour du tube d'enroulement et des épaisseurs successives du tablier, au cours d'une étape S7. Il est à noter qu'un moyen est prévu pour ramener les lames dans leur position non-orientée afin que celles-ci puissent être enroulées sur le tube d'enroulement, par exemple par coopération des lames avec le tube d'enroulement ou les lames enroulées sur celui-ci, ou par contact avec un accessoire dédié.Due to the systematic opening of all the tilting blades when executing an opening command, the user has an optimal field of vision as soon as possible. It is therefore not necessary to wait for the complete rise of the apron to have an outward vision. The blades close automatically and successively during the winding of the apron around the winding tube and the successive thicknesses of the deck, during a step S7. It should be noted that a means is provided for bringing the blades back to their non-oriented position so that they can be wound on the winding tube, for example by cooperation of the blades with the winding tube or the blades wound thereon, or by contact with a dedicated accessory.

De la manière équivalente, comme représenté à la figure 3, une commande de fermeture émise au cours d'une étape S11 par le biais du point de commande et reçue au cours d'une étape S12 par le dispositif, provoque le déroulement du tablier. Si la commande de fermeture est reçue alors que le tablier est dans une position de déroulement partiel, il est possible que certaines, voire la totalité des lames, soient inclinées. Cette situation est symbolisée par l'étape S13. Si les lames sont déjà toutes fermées, le déroulement du tablier provoque le déplacement de la lame finale du tablier vers la position extrême basse FDCB, les lames étant maintenues fermées (étape S14). Dans le cas où certaines lames sont inclinées, en réponse à la commande de fermeture, le déroulement du tablier provoque alors en premier lieu la fermeture des lames qui étaient éventuellement inclinées, au cours de l'étape S15, avant que la lame finale ne soit déplacée vers la position extrême basse.In the equivalent way, as shown in figure 3 , a closing command issued during a step S11 through the control point and received during a step S12 by the device, causes the unwinding of the deck. If the closing command is received while the apron is in a partial unwinding position, it is possible that some or all of the blades are inclined. This situation is symbolized by the step S13. If the blades are already all closed, the progress of the deck causes the movement of the final deck blade to the extreme low position FDCB, the blades being kept closed (step S14). In the case where some blades are inclined, in response to the closing command, the unfolding of the apron then causes in the first place the closure of the blades which were possibly inclined, during step S15, before the final blade is moved to the extreme low position.

De cette manière, le mouvement de fermeture a un effet immédiat, composé successivement de la fermeture des lames restant inclinées et de l'abaissement du tablier. Là encore, ces dispositions sont tout à fait logiques vis-à-vis d'une commande de fermeture et correspondent aux attentes de l'utilisateur.In this way, the closing movement has an immediate effect, composed successively of the closing of the remaining blades inclined and the lowering of the deck. Again, these provisions are quite logical vis-à-vis a closure command and correspond to the expectations of the user.

Elles permettent également d'assurer une fermeture sécuritaire du tablier en position extrême basse. Le tablier est en effet conduit avec les lames fermées vers cette position. Lorsque le tablier est dans cette position fermée, les lames ne sont orientées que sur réception d'une commande d'ouverture. Il n'y a pas de risque d'ouverture inopinée des lames au cours de l'exécution de cette commande de fermeture, y compris en cas de déréglage du dispositif.They also ensure a safe closure of the deck in extreme low position. The apron is indeed driven with the blades closed to this position. When the apron is in this closed position, the blades are oriented only upon receipt of an opening command. There is no risk of unexpected opening of the blades at during the execution of this closing command, even if the device is not adjusted.

Les modes d'orientation sont représentés en relation avec la figure 4.Orientation modes are represented in relation to the figure 4 .

La course totale de l'écran est divisée en plusieurs zones. En particulier, une première zone TILT1 dite zone graduelle, est située au bas de la course. Lorsque l'écran se situe dans cette zone (précisément, lorsque la lame finale de l'écran se situe dans cette zone de position), l'exécution d'une commande d'orientation aura pour effet une orientation graduelle des lames. Une deuxième zone TILT2 se situe vers le milieu de la course. Lorsque l'écran se situe dans cette zone (précisément, lorsque la lame finale de l'écran se situe dans cette zone de position), l'exécution d'une commande d'orientation aura pour effet une orientation totale et simultanée des lames. Au-delà de cette zone TILT2, les lames peuvent ou non être orientées, mais du fait de l'enroulement du tablier, cette orientation ne concerne au plus que quelques-unes des lames.The total stroke of the screen is divided into several areas. In particular, a first zone TILT1 called gradual zone, is located at the bottom of the race. When the screen is in this area (specifically, when the final blade of the screen is in this position area), executing an orientation command will result in a gradual orientation of the blades. A second TILT2 zone is located in the middle of the race. When the screen is in this area (specifically, when the final blade of the screen is in this position zone), the execution of an orientation command will result in a total and simultaneous orientation of the blades. Beyond this TILT2 zone, the blades may or may not be oriented, but because of the winding of the deck, this orientation concerns at most only some of the blades.

Les deux modes d'orientation correspondent donc à des orientations des lames commandées alors que la lame finale se trouve dans l'une ou l'autre des deux zones distinctes définies ci-dessus TILT1 et TILT2. Une commande particulière, reçue par le récepteur du dispositif, pourra combiner une commande de déplacement vers une des zones de la course et une commande d'orientation des lames dans cette zone.The two orientation modes therefore correspond to orientations of the controlled blades while the final blade is in one or the other of the two distinct zones defined above TILT1 and TILT2. A particular command, received by the receiver of the device, may combine a movement control to one of the zones of the race and a blade orientation command in this zone.

Alternativement ou de manière complémentaire, les deux modes d'orientation dépendent de l'utilisation d'un premier ou d'un deuxième dispositif de basculement des lames. Le premier dispositif de basculement permet par exemple l'obtention d'un comportement des lames conforme au premier mode d'orientation. Le deuxième dispositif de basculement permet par exemple l'obtention d'un comportement des lames conforme au deuxième mode d'orientation. Par exemple, l'un ou l'autre des premier et deuxième dispositifs de basculement est activé sélectivement selon que l'écran se trouve dans le premier mode de d'orientation ou que l'écran se trouve dans le deuxième mode d'orientation. Un moyen est de préférence prévu pour déterminer le mode d'orientation actif.Alternatively or in a complementary manner, the two orientation modes depend on the use of a first or second blade tilting device. The first tilting device allows for example to obtain a behavior of the blades according to the first orientation mode. The second switching device makes it possible, for example, to obtain a behavior of the blades in accordance with the second orientation mode. For example, either of the first and second tilting devices is selectively enabled depending on whether the screen is in the first orientation mode or the screen is in the second orientation mode. Means is preferably provided for determining the active orientation mode.

Un dispositif de basculement peut comprendre des cames associées au lames orientables et coopérant avec une bande de friction dans les glissières de guidage des lames, des efforts de friction de la bande sur les cames provoquant le pivotement de celles-ci et, en conséquence, l'orientation des lames associées. Un tel dispositif permet de commander l'orientation simultanée, dans un premier sens de rotation, de plusieurs lames lorsque les lames sont conduites dans un premier sens de déplacement et l'orientation successive, dans un deuxième sens de rotation, de plusieurs lames lorsque les lames sont conduites dans un deuxième sens de déplacement, cette orientation successive des lames se produisant lorsqu'elles atteignent un point particulier de la course du tablier.A tilting device may comprise cams associated with the steerable blades and cooperating with a friction band in the guide rails of the blades, the frictional forces of the strip on the cams causing the pivoting thereof and, consequently, the orientation of the associated blades. Such a device makes it possible to control the simultaneous orientation, in a first direction of rotation, of several blades when the blades are driven in a first direction of displacement and the successive orientation, in a second direction of rotation, of several blades when the blades are driven in a second direction of movement, this successive orientation of the blades occurring when they reach a particular point of the stroke of the deck.

Les premier et deuxième dispositifs de basculement constituent des moyens de définition de la séquence d'orientation de deux lames orientables adjacentes, voire de trois lames orientables adjacentes, différemment dans un premier et un deuxième modes d'orientation, voire de définition des séquences d'orientation d'ouverture ou de fermeture des lames de deux couples de lames orientables adjacentes différemment dans le premier et le deuxième modes d'orientation.The first and second tilting devices constitute means for defining the orientation sequence of two adjacent steerable blades, or even three adjacent steerable blades, differently in a first and a second orientation mode, or even for defining the sequences of orientation of opening or closing of the blades of two pairs of orientable blades adjacent differently in the first and second orientation modes.

Alternativement, les deux modes d'orientation sont choisis par sélection d'un mode de fonctionnement, la sélection ayant un impact mécanique sur le dispositif d'orientation des lames. Par exemple, une tirette mécanique prend une première ou une seconde position selon le mode d'orientation sélectionné, ce qui permet de basculer différemment deux lames adjacentes ou contiguës, voire trois lames orientables adjacentes ou contiguës. En particulier, la séquence d'orientation d'ouverture ou de fermeture des deux lames orientables adjacentes, voire des trois lames orientables adjacentes, est différente dans les différents modes. Dans un mode, la lame supérieure peut être orientée en ouverture avant la lame inférieure. Dans le cas de trois lames, la lame supérieure peut être orientée en ouverture avant la lame intermédiaire, elle-même étant orientée en ouverture avant la lame inférieure. Dans un autre mode, la lame inférieure peut être orientée en ouverture avant la lame supérieure. Dans le cas de trois lames, la lame inférieure peut être orientée en ouverture avant la lame intermédiaire, elle-même étant orientée en ouverture avant la lame supérieure. Dans un autre mode encore, les lames inférieure, supérieure et éventuellement intermédiaire peuvent être orientées en ouverture simultanément. Dans ce cadre, les deux modes d'orientation peuvent être deux modes d'orientation graduelle, l'un correspondant à une orientation des lames de bas en haut et l'autre correspondant à une orientation des lames de haut en bas. L'utilisateur peut ainsi choisir l'orientation qui lui convient le mieux à un instant donné et modifier celle-ci à son gré.Alternatively, the two orientation modes are selected by selecting an operating mode, the selection having a mechanical impact on the blade orientation device. For example, a zipper mechanical takes a first or second position according to the selected orientation mode, which allows to tilt differently two adjacent or contiguous blades, or three adjacent or contiguous orientable blades. In particular, the opening or closing orientation sequence of the two adjacent steerable blades, or even three adjacent steerable blades, is different in the different modes. In one mode, the upper blade can be oriented in opening before the lower blade. In the case of three blades, the upper blade can be oriented in opening before the intermediate blade, itself being oriented in opening before the lower blade. In another mode, the lower blade can be oriented in opening before the upper blade. In the case of three blades, the lower blade can be oriented in opening before the intermediate blade, itself being oriented in opening before the upper blade. In yet another mode, the lower, upper and optionally intermediate blades can be oriented in opening simultaneously. In this context, the two orientation modes can be two modes of gradual orientation, one corresponding to an orientation of the blades from bottom to top and the other corresponding to an orientation of the blades from top to bottom. The user can thus choose the orientation that suits him best at a given moment and modify it as he wishes.

De préférence, ces séquences différentes sont déclenchées par un même ordre de commande, comme un ordre de commande de fermeture de l'écran ou un ordre de commande d'ouverture de l'écran. En particulier, ces séquences différentes peuvent être déclenchées par une même action de l'utilisateur, c'est alors l'état ou le mode de fonctionnement de l'écran ou le mode d'orientation des lames qui détermine la séquence qui est exécutée.Preferably, these different sequences are triggered by the same control command, such as a command to close the screen or an order to open the screen. In particular, these different sequences can be triggered by the same action of the user, it is then the state or mode of operation of the screen or the orientation mode of the blades that determines the sequence that is executed.

Deux modes d'orientation préférentiels sont décrits par la suite.Two preferred modes of orientation are described later.

Premier mode d'orientationFirst orientation mode

De manière préférentielle, l'orientation graduelle à partir d'une position de tablier fermée se fait à partir de la lame basculante la plus proche du tube d'enroulement. Dans le cas où la lame basculante supérieure est la première lame à s'incliner en ouverture, l'inclinaison graduelle des lames au cours d'un mouvement d'ouverture va permettre en premier lieu une vue traversante vers le haut du tablier, et ceci alors même que les lames du bas du tablier sont toujours en position non orientées.Preferably, the gradual orientation from a closed deck position is made from the tilting blade closest to the winding tube. In the case where the upper tilting blade is the first blade to tilt in opening, the gradual inclination of the blades during an opening movement will allow in the first place a through view to the top of the deck, and this even though the blades at the bottom of the deck are still in the unoriented position.

Il est alors possible de créer un espace à champ de vision ouvert Z01, Z02 vers l'extérieur vers le haut ou le milieu du tablier, plus ou moins grand, tout en conservant une fermeture de ce tablier (étanchéité de fermeture en position extrême basse). Ceci permet de laisser entrer la lumière dans la pièce équipée de l'écran mobile, tout en restreignant l'entrée ou la sortie à des jeunes enfants ou des animaux domestiques par exemple alors même que la fenêtre peut être maintenue ouverte. L'intimité dans la pièce est également préservée par le maintien du bas du tablier ZF1, ZF2 en position fermée.It is then possible to create a space with an open field of view Z01, Z02 towards the outside towards the top or the middle of the deck, more or less large, while keeping a closure of this apron (closing seal in extreme low position ). This allows the light to enter the room equipped with the mobile screen, while restricting entry or exit to young children or pets for example even though the window can be kept open. The intimacy in the room is also preserved by keeping the bottom of the apron ZF1, ZF2 in the closed position.

Alternativement, l'ensemble des lames peut être basculé de sorte que l'éclairage dans la pièce soit maximum tout en conservant le bas du tablier en position fermée, et donc en maintenant un accès fermé.Alternatively, all the blades can be tilted so that the lighting in the room is maximum while keeping the bottom of the deck in the closed position, and thus maintaining a closed access.

Une position intermédiaire graduelle P11, correspondant à un nombre prédéterminé de lames orientées, peut être préenregistrée. Il suffit ensuite, par une ergonomie de commande particulière, d'émettre un ordre de commande correspondant, pour que l'écran vienne se positionner à la position d'écran requise, avec le nombre de lames orientées souhaité. Il n'est pas nécessaire de positionner la lame finale de l'écran manuellement dans la première zone d'orientation TILT1 pour parvenir à cette position intermédiaire. Idéalement, le déplacement requis est réalisé automatiquement, à partir de n'importe quelle position de départ, dans laquelle le dispositif reçoit l'ordre de commande particulière pour aller en position intermédiaire.A gradual intermediate position P11, corresponding to a predetermined number of oriented blades, may be prerecorded. It then suffices, by a particular control ergonomics, to issue a corresponding control command, so that the screen comes to be positioned at the required screen position, with the desired number of oriented blades. It is not necessary to position the final blade of the screen manually in the first TILT1 orientation area for reach this intermediate position. Ideally, the required movement is made automatically, from any starting position, in which the device receives the particular control command to go to the intermediate position.

Par exemple, si la commande particulière est reçue alors que le tablier est fermé, l'exécution de l'ordre consiste en une orientation graduelle des lames jusqu'à ce que le nombre de lames prédéterminé soit orienté.For example, if the particular command is received while the apron is closed, the execution of the order consists of a gradual orientation of the blades until the predetermined number of blades is oriented.

Si en revanche la commande particulière est reçue alors que le tablier est ouvert, l'exécution de l'ordre consiste en un déplacement du tablier jusqu'à sa position de fermeture, puis une orientation graduelle des lames jusqu'à ce que le nombre de lames prédéterminé soit orienté.If, on the other hand, the particular command is received while the apron is open, the execution of the order consists of a movement of the deck to its closed position, then a gradual orientation of the blades until the number of predetermined blades is oriented.

Avantageusement, cette position intermédiaire peut également être une position intermédiaire d'aération, dans laquelle une partie des lames est inclinée, par exemple le premier quart des lames, celles situées en haut du tablier. Cette position intermédiaire d'aération permet une circulation d'air vers le haut de l'ouverture, qui convient d'autant mieux pour l'utilisation avec des fenêtres basculantes. Cette position intermédiaire d'aération sert également à l'éclairement de la pièce.Advantageously, this intermediate position may also be an intermediate position of ventilation, in which a portion of the blades is inclined, for example the first quarter of the blades, those located at the top of the deck. This intermediate ventilation position allows air circulation up the opening, which is all the more suitable for use with tilting windows. This intermediate ventilation position is also used for illuminating the room.

Contrairement aux volets à lames ajourées notamment, cette position intermédiaire d'aération est plus sécuritaire, dans la mesure où les lames situées vers le bas du tablier restent non orientées et jointives.Unlike perforated shutters in particular, this intermediate ventilation position is safer, insofar as the blades located towards the bottom of the deck remain unoriented and contiguous.

De manière avantageuse, plusieurs positions intermédiaires graduelles peuvent être prédéfinies sur cette zone.Advantageously, several gradual intermediate positions can be predefined on this zone.

Deux positions intermédiaires présentant des zones de vision Z01 et Z02 sont représentées en figure 4. Les lames finales des tabliers reposent sur le sol, tandis que le nombre de lames inclinées diffère.Two intermediate positions having Z01 and Z02 viewing areas are shown in FIG. figure 4 . The final blades of the decks rest on the ground, while the number of inclined blades differs.

Deuxième mode d'orientationSecond orientation mode

Lorsqu'une commande d'orientation est réalisée alors que le tablier se situe dans une deuxième zone dite zone « tout-ou-rien » (précisément, lorsque la lame finale de l'écran se situe dans cette zone de position), autrement dit, lorsque le tablier se situe hors de la première zone graduelle, les lames s'orientent simultanément.When an orientation command is carried out while the apron is in a second so-called "all-or-nothing" zone (precisely, when the final blade of the screen is in this position zone), in other words when the apron is outside the first gradual zone, the blades orient themselves simultaneously.

Dans la mesure où le tablier est partiellement enroulé, toutes les lames ne pourront pas nécessairement s'orienter en particulier, celles comprises dans la partie de tablier déjà enroulée autour du tube d'enroulement.Insofar as the apron is partially wound, all the blades can not necessarily be oriented in particular, those included in the apron part already wound around the winding tube.

Ce deuxième mode d'orientation permet d'obtenir une orientation rapide et immédiate des lames basculantes, dans les cas où l'utilisateur ne recherche pas particulièrement de situation d'intimité. Au contraire, ce deuxième mode d'orientation permet d'utiliser l'écran à la manière d'un store vénitien, l'écran étant partiellement ouvert et les lames pouvant être orientées à volonté.This second orientation mode makes it possible to obtain a fast and immediate orientation of the tilting blades, in cases where the user does not particularly look for a privacy situation. On the contrary, this second orientation mode makes it possible to use the screen in the manner of a venetian blind, the screen being partially open and the blades being able to be oriented at will.

Pour simplification, notamment pour éviter la présence d'un autre système de basculeur, les lames sont orientées automatiquement à leur maximum et l'angle d'orientation n'est pas réglable dans ce deuxième mode d'orientation.For simplicity, especially to avoid the presence of another rocker system, the blades are automatically oriented to their maximum and the orientation angle is not adjustable in this second orientation mode.

Une position intermédiaire d'ensemble PI2 peut également être enregistrée. Elle correspond dans ce cas à un pourcentage d'ouverture du volet, l'ensemble des lames sur la partie déployée du tablier étant orientées.An intermediate position PI2 set can also be recorded. In this case, it corresponds to an opening percentage shutter, the set of blades on the deployed part of the deck being oriented.

Une troisième position intermédiaire pourrait également être enregistrée pour le mode de déplacement. Elle correspondrait alors à un pourcentage d'ouverture du tablier, lames fermés (non orientées).A third intermediate position could also be recorded for the travel mode. It would then correspond to a percentage of opening of the apron, closed blades (not oriented).

Lors de l'installation du dispositif, la hauteur du tablier peut être déterminée une fois les positions extrêmes (FDCH, FDCB) définies. De cette hauteur de tablier peuvent être déduites le nombre de lames orientables (dont la hauteur est sensiblement standard) et le nombre d'incréments angulaires nécessaire à l'orientation d'une lame supplémentaire en cas d'orientation graduelle. Ces calculs permettent notamment de définir quel incrément moteur (ou angle d'orientation du tube d'enroulement) doit être réalisé pour l'orientation d'une lame supplémentaire. Dans le cas d'une commande par molette, chaque incrément molette pourra correspondre à un incrément moteur ou à une subdivision de cet incrément moteur. Dans le cas d'un point de commande à touches, chaque appui bref pourra correspondre à un incrément moteur ou à une subdivision de cet incrément moteur.During the installation of the device, the height of the deck can be determined once the extreme positions (FDCH, FDCB) defined. From this apron height can be deduced the number of steerable blades (whose height is substantially standard) and the number of angular increments necessary for the orientation of an additional blade in case of gradual orientation. These calculations make it possible in particular to define which motor increment (or orientation angle of the winding tube) must be made for the orientation of an additional blade. In the case of a command by wheel, each increment wheel may correspond to an engine increment or a subdivision of this engine increment. In the case of a control point with keys, each brief press may correspond to an engine increment or a subdivision of this engine increment.

La ou les positions intermédiaires peuvent également être prédéfinies à partir des valeurs mesurées et/ou calculées. Ces positions intermédiaires peuvent ensuite être remplacées par des positions intermédiaires enregistrées par l'utilisateur et correspondant à un pourcentage de lames inclinées par rapport à la totalité de lames basculantes.The intermediate position (s) can also be predefined from the measured and / or calculated values. These intermediate positions can then be replaced by intermediate positions recorded by the user and corresponding to a percentage of blades inclined relative to the total of tilting blades.
