Description

L'invention concerne le domaine technique des dispositifs ou systèmes d'occultation au moins partielle d'une baie, vitrée ou non, également appelés stores.The invention relates to the technical field devices or systems at least partial occlusion of a bay, glazed or not, also called blinds.

Ainsi, il est, par exemple, connu des stores dits bateaux qui comprennent un écran mobile en textile, divisé en panneaux qui, lorsque le store est relevé, se replient les uns sur les autres. Il existe également des stores, dits vénitiens comme par exemple connu par US 2007 0 175 599 , comprenant un écran mobile constitué d'une série de lames parallèles superposées dont l'inclinaison transversale est ajustable de manière à permettre un réglage du niveau ouverture du store et donc d'occultation de la baie.Thus, it is, for example, known boat blinds which comprise a mobile textile screen, divided into panels which, when the blind is raised, fold over each other. There are also Venetian blinds as known for example by US 2007 0 175 599 , comprising a movable screen consisting of a series of parallel superimposed blades whose transverse slope is adjustable so as to allow adjustment of the opening level of the blind and thus concealment of the bay.

Ces deux types de stores comprennent généralement un châssis supérieur équipé d'un arbre d'enroulement d'au moins deux câbles de suspension supportant une barre de charge mobile entre une position haute et une position basse. L'écran mobile est alors interposé entre le châssis et la barre de charge de sorte que lorsque cette dernière est en position haute l'écran est replié tandis que l'écran est déplié lorsque la barre de charge est en position basse. La mise en oeuvre d'un arbre d'enroulement permet d'envisager une motorisation de la montée et de la descente du store au moyen d'une unité de commande et d'un moteur électrique assurant la rotation de l'arbre.These two types of blinds generally comprise an upper frame equipped with a winding shaft of at least two suspension cables supporting a mobile load bar between a high position and a low position. The mobile screen is then interposed between the frame and the load bar so that when the latter is in the high position the screen is folded while the screen is unfolded when the load bar is in the low position. The implementation of a winding shaft allows to consider motorization of the rise and fall of the awning by means of a control unit and an electric motor ensuring the rotation of the shaft.

De tels types de stores donnent satisfaction pour ce qui concerne leur fonction première d'occultation au moins partielle de la baie qu'ils équipent. Toutefois, il est apparu que la position du store à proximité de la baie qu'il équipe pouvait être mise à profit pour enrichir les fonctionnalités du store et lui permettre de remplir d'autres fonctions que celle première d'occultation. Il est notamment apparu que le store pouvait être associé à des dispositifs électriques ou électroniques actifs ou passifs. Cependant, la mise en oeuvre de ces dispositifs, susceptibles d'être incorporés par exemple dans la barre de charge et/ou dans l'écran ou ses éléments constitutifs, pose le problème de leur raccordement de manière fiable et esthétique à un circuit d'alimentation et/ou de commande.Such types of blinds give satisfaction with regard to their primary function of occultation at least partial of the bay they equip. However, it appeared that the position of the blind near the bay he team could be used to enrich the functionality of the blind and allow it to perform other functions than the first occultation. In particular, it appeared that the blind could be associated with active or passive electrical or electronic devices. However, the implementation of these devices, which can be incorporated for example in the load bar and / or in the screen or its constituent elements, poses the problem of their connection in a reliable and aesthetic manner to a circuit of power supply and / or control.

Afin de répondre à ce besoin d'une alimentation ou d'un raccordement électrique fiable des l'accessoires électriques susceptibles d'équiper la barre de charge ou l'écran, l'invention concerne un dispositif d'occultation au moins partielle d'une baie comprenant :

  • un châssis supérieur équipé d'un arbre d'enroulement d'au moins un câble de suspension supportant une barre de charge mobile entre une position haute et une position basse,
  • un écran mobile interposé entre le châssis et la barre de charge et adapté pour être dans un état replié en position haute de la barre de charge et dans un état déplié en position basse de la barre de charge,
  • des moyens de manoeuvre de l'arbre enroulement,
In order to meet this need for a power supply or a reliable electrical connection of the electrical accessories that may be fitted to the load bar or the screen, the invention relates to a device for occultation at least partially of a bay comprising:
  • an upper frame equipped with a winding shaft of at least one suspension cable supporting a mobile load bar between a high position and a low position,
  • a movable screen interposed between the frame and the load bar and adapted to be in a folded up state of the load bar and in an unfolded state in the lower position of the load bar,
  • means for operating the winding shaft,

Selon l'invention ce dispositif d'occultation est caractérisé en ce que :

  • la barre de charge et/ou l'écran mobile comprennent au moins un accessoire électrique ou électronique,
  • un câble de suspension, au moins, intègre au moins un conducteur électrique destiné à être raccordé à l'accessoire électrique,
  • l'arbre d'enroulement est associé à au moins un collecteur tournant comprenant, d'une part, une bague collectrice solidaire en rotation de l'arbre et raccordée électriquement à chaque conducteur intégré à un câble de suspension et, d'autre part, un contacteur fixe solidaire du châssis et adapté pour assurer le raccordement électrique de la bague collectrice avec des moyens d'alimentation et/ou de commande de chaque accessoire électrique ou électronique.
According to the invention this occultation device is characterized in that:
  • the load bar and / or the mobile screen comprise at least one electrical or electronic accessory,
  • at least one suspension cable incorporates at least one electrical conductor intended to be connected to the electrical accessory,
  • the winding shaft is associated with at least one rotary manifold comprising, on the one hand, a slip ring integral in rotation with the shaft and electrically connected to each integrated conductor with a suspension cable and, on the other hand, a fixed contactor secured to the chassis and adapted to ensure the electrical connection of the slip ring with means for supplying and / or controlling each electrical or electronic accessory.

La mise en oeuvre de conducteurs intégrés au câble de suspension permet d'obtenir une alimentation fiable dans la mesure où le mouvement du câble est synchrone avec le mouvement de la barre de charge notamment. De plus, la mise en oeuvre d'un collecteur tournant garanti la fiabilité de la connexion quelle que soit la position d'enroulement du câble. Ainsi, la combinaison de ces deux caractéristiques de l'invention rend possible la commande ou l'alimentation d'un dispositif électrique ou électronique équipant la barre de charge quelle que soit la position de cette dernière.The implementation of integrated conductors to the suspension cable provides a reliable power supply to the extent that the movement of the cable is synchronous with the movement of the load bar in particular. In addition, the implementation of a rotary manifold guarantees the reliability of the connection regardless of the winding position of the cable. Thus, the combination of these two features of the invention makes it possible to control or feed an electrical or electronic device fitted to the load bar whatever the position of the latter.

Selon l'invention, la manoeuvre de l'arbre d'enroulement peut être réalisée de toute manière appropriée telle que par exemple au moyen d'une sangle enroulée sur l'arbre, d'une courroie coopérant avec une poulie solidaire de l'arbre ou encore d'un système de manivelle entraînant une vis sans fin engrainant un pignon solidaire en rotation de l'arbre. Selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens de manoeuvre de l'arbre électrique comprennent un moteur électrique intégré dans l'arbre d'enroulement.According to the invention, the maneuvering of the winding shaft can be carried out in any appropriate manner such as for example by means of a strap wound on the shaft, a belt cooperating with a pulley secured to the shaft or else a crank system driving a worm engraining a pinion integral in rotation with the shaft. According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the operating means of the electric shaft comprise an electric motor integrated in the winding shaft.

Selon l'invention, l'un au moins des câbles de suspension intègre un ou plusieurs conducteurs électriques. Selon une variante de réalisation, chaque câble de suspension intègre au moins un conducteur électrique. Ainsi dans le cadre du raccordement d'un dispositif électrique bipolaire et de la mise en oeuvre de deux câbles de suspension, l'un des câbles assure le raccordement à une polarité tandis que l'autre assure à une autre polarité. Bien entendu, chaque câble de suspension peut comprendre plusieurs conducteurs électriques isolés les uns des autres de manière à permettre un raccordement multipolaire.According to the invention, at least one of the suspension cables includes one or more electrical conductors. According to an alternative embodiment, each suspension cable incorporates at least one electrical conductor. Thus in the context of the connection of a bipolar electrical device and the implementation of two suspension cables, one of the cables provides the connection to a polarity while the other ensures a different polarity. Of course, each suspension cable may comprise several electrical conductors isolated from each other so as to allow a multipole connection.

Selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention, chaque câble de suspension est réalisé en partie au moins en un matériau électriquement conducteur. Chaque câble de suspension peut alors être constitué par un câble métallique ou par un câble mixte intégrant des fibres textiles isolantes et des fibres conductrices ou des fils conducteurs. Le câble de suspension pourra alors présenter une gaine extérieure isolante.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, each suspension cable is made in part at least of an electrically conductive material. Each suspension cable may then consist of a metal cable or a composite cable incorporating insulating textile fibers and conductive fibers or conductive wires. The suspension cable may then have an insulating outer sheath.

Selon une forme de réalisation de l'invention, la barre de charge comprend au moins un accessoire électrique raccordé en permanence au conducteur électrique. Un tel accessoire électrique ou électronique peut-être de toute nature et, par exemple, comprendre un ou plusieurs capteurs, des haut-parleurs ou d'autres systèmes électriques ou électroniques actifs ou toute combinaison de systèmes passif et de systèmes actifs. Selon une variante de cette forme de réalisation, la barre de charge comprend au moins un système électrique d'éclairage tel que, par exemple mais non exclusivement, un système mettant en oeuvre des diodes électroluminescentes également appelées DEL ou en anglais LED.According to one embodiment of the invention, the load bar comprises at least one electrical accessory permanently connected to the electrical conductor. Such an electrical or electronic accessory may be of any kind and, for example, include one or more sensors, speakers or other active electrical or electronic systems or any combination of passive systems and active systems. According to a variant of this embodiment, the load bar comprises at least one electrical lighting system such as, for example but not exclusively, a system employing light emitting diodes also called LED or English LED.

Selon une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention, l'écran mobile comprend au moins un accessoire électrique tel que par exemple un capteur ou des moyens d'éclairage. Selon les caractéristiques de l'invention, la barre de charge et l'écran comprennent tous deux des accessoires électriques ou électroniques.According to another embodiment of the invention, the mobile screen comprises at least one electrical accessory such as for example a sensor or lighting means. According to the features of the invention, the load bar and the screen both comprise electrical or electronic accessories.

Selon l'invention, l'écran peut être réalisé de toute manière appropriée telle que, par exemple, sous la forme d'un écran souple comprenant des panneaux qui se plient les uns sur les autres et forment un store bateau.According to the invention, the screen can be made in any appropriate manner such as, for example, in the form of a flexible screen comprising panels which fold over each other and form a boat blind.

Selon l'invention, l'écran mobile peut également former un store vénitien. Ainsi, selon une forme préférée de réalisation de l'invention, l'écran mobile comprend une série de lames horizontales parallèles superposées associées à des moyens de maintient et d'orientation adaptés pour permettre un réglage de l'inclinaison transversale des lames entre une position horizontale et une position sensiblement verticale de manière à régler le degré d'ouverture de l'écran.According to the invention, the mobile screen can also form a venetian blind. Thus, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mobile screen comprises a series of superposed parallel horizontal blades associated with means for maintaining and orientation adapted to allow adjustment of the transverse inclination of the blades between a horizontal position and a substantially vertical position so as to adjust the degree of opening of the screen.

Selon une variante de cette forme de réalisation, certaines lames au moins sont équipées d'accessoires électriques ou électroniques.According to a variant of this embodiment, at least some blades are equipped with electrical or electronic accessories.

Dans le cadre de cette variante et selon une caractéristique de l'invention, les lames équipées d'accessoire électrique, au moins, comprennent chacune des moyens de raccordement et de contact électrique adaptés pour en position verticale des lames assurer un raccordement de l'accessoire électrique correspondant à un circuit électrique comprenant chaque câble électrique et en position horizontale assurer une déconnexion de l'accessoire dudit circuit électrique.In the context of this variant and according to a characteristic of the invention, the blades equipped with electrical accessory, at least, each comprise means of connection and electrical contact adapted for the vertical position of the blades ensure a connection of the accessory electrical corresponding to an electrical circuit comprising each electrical cable and in a horizontal position ensure disconnection of the accessory of said electrical circuit.

Bien entendu les différentes formes et variantes de réalisation ainsi que caractéristiques de l'invention peuvent être associées les unes avec les autres selon diverses combinaisons dans la mesure où elles ne sont pas incompatibles ou exclusives les unes des autres.Naturally, the various forms and embodiments as well as features of the invention may be associated with each other in various combinations to the extent that they are not incompatible or exclusive of each other.

Par ailleurs, diverses autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortent de la description ci-dessous effectuée en référence aux dessins annexés qui illustrent des formes non limitatives de réalisation d'un dispositif d'occultation conforme à l'invention.

  • La figure 1 est une perspective schématique d'un dispositif d'occultation selon l'invention formant un store vénitien, seules certaines des lattes de l'écran de ce store étant représentées à la figure 1.
  • La figure 2 est une vue de détail en coupe schématique d'une latte constitutive d'un écran d'un dispositif d'occultation formant un store vénitien, cette latte comprenant des moyens de raccordement et de contact électrique assurant une fonction d'interrupteur.
Furthermore, various other features of the invention will emerge from the description below made with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate non-limiting embodiments of a concealment device according to the invention.
  • The figure 1 is a schematic perspective of an occulting device according to the invention forming a Venetian blind, only some of the slats of the screen of this blind being represented at the figure 1 .
  • The figure 2 is a schematic sectional detail view of a slat constituting a screen of a shading device forming a Venetian blind, this slat comprising connecting means and electrical contact providing a switch function.

Un dispositif d'occultation d'une baie également appelé store, représenté à la figure 1 de manière schématique et désigné dans son ensemble par la référence S, comprend un châssis supérieur 1 équipé d'un arbre d'enroulement 2 d'au moins un et, selon l'exemple illustré, deux câbles de suspension 3 supportant à leur extrémité opposée à l'arbre 2 une barre de charge 4. L'arbre d'enroulement 2 comprend un moteur électrique 5 intégré à son moyeu et commandé par unité decommande 6. Ainsi, l'unité 6 pilote le moteur 5 pour assurer, par la rotation de l'arbre 2, un enroulement ou un déroulement des câbles 3 de manière à déplacer la barre de charge 4 entre une position basse, telle qu'illustrée, à la figure 1 et une position haute non représentée. Bien entendu, il pourrait également être mis en oeuvre un autre type d'entrainement avec, par exemple, un moteur électrique extérieur à l'arbre en prise directe avec celui-ci ou via un réducteur.An obscuration device of a bay also called blind, represented at the figure 1 schematically and generally designated by the reference S, comprises an upper frame 1 equipped with a winding shaft 2 of at least one and, according to the example shown, two suspension cables 3 supporting at their opposite end to the shaft 2 a load bar 4. The winding shaft 2 comprises an electric motor 5 integrated in its hub and controlled by a control unit 6. Thus, the unit 6 drives the motor 5 to ensure, by the rotation of the shaft 2, a winding or unwinding of the cables 3 so as to move the load bar 4 between a low position, as illustrated, at the figure 1 and a high position not shown. Of course, it could also be implemented another type of drive with, for example, an electric motor outside the shaft in direct contact with it or via a gearbox.

Le dispositif d'occultation S comprend un écran mobile 10 interposé entre le châssis supérieur 1 et la barre de charge 4. Selon l'exemple illustré, l'écran mobile 10 comprend une série de lames superposées 11 parallèles entre elles qui sont traversées au niveau de lumière par les câbles de suspension 3. Les lames 11 sont en outre supportées par des moyens de maintien et d'orientation réalisés sous la forme d'échelles souples 12 qui les maintiennent parallèles et distantes les unes des autres lorsque la barre de charge est en position basse. Chaque échelle 12 comprend deux brins verticaux 13 dont l'extrémité basse est fixée à la barre de charge 4 et l'extrémité haute à un palonnier 14 supporté par un arbre d'orientation 15. Les échelles 12 comprennent en outre une série d'entretoises souples 15 qui supportent chacune une larme 11. Ainsi, il est possible en agissant sur l'inclinaison des palonniers 14 par l'intermédiaire de l'arbre 15 de modifier l'inclinaison transversale des lames 11 et donc le degré d'ouverture ou d'occultation de l'écran 10. Ce mode de réglage de l'ouverture de l'écran est bien connu de l'homme du métier et ne nécessite donc pas de plus ample description.The concealment device S comprises a mobile screen 10 interposed between the upper frame 1 and the load bar 4. According to the illustrated example, the mobile screen 10 comprises a series of superimposed blades 11 parallel to each other which are traversed at the by the suspension cables 3. The blades 11 are further supported by holding and orientation means in the form of flexible ladders 12 which keep them parallel and distant from each other when the load bar is in the low position. Each ladder 12 comprises two vertical strands 13 whose lower end is fixed to the load bar 4 and the upper end to a spreader 14 supported by an orientation shaft 15. The ladders 12 further comprise a series of spacers flexible 15 which each support a tear 11. thus, it is possible by acting on the inclination of the lifting beams 14 via the shaft 15 to modify the transverse inclination of the blades 11 and therefore the degree of opening or occultation of the screen 10. This adjustment mode of the opening of the screen is well known in the art and therefore requires no further description.

Selon l'exemple illustré, la barre de charge 4 est en outre équipée d'accessoires électriques ou électroniques 22 qui comprennent ici une série de diodes électroluminescentes 22 dont l'alimentation électrique est assurée via les câbles de suspension 3 qui intègre chacun un conducteur électrique. Selon l'exemple illustré, les câbles de suspension 3 sont réutilisés en matériaux électriquement conducteurs et dans le cas présent en acier inoxydable. Les câbles 3 sont alors raccordés électriquement aux diodes 22. Lorsque que le câble de liaison est réalisé en matériau conducteur, il pourra être gainé d'un matériau isolant ou au contraire être nu.According to the illustrated example, the load bar 4 is furthermore equipped with electrical or electronic accessories 22 which here comprise a series of light-emitting diodes 22 whose power supply is provided via the suspension cables 3 which each integrates an electrical conductor . According to the illustrated example, the suspension cables 3 are reused in electrically conductive materials and in this case stainless steel. The cables 3 are then electrically connected to the diodes 22. When the connecting cable is made of conductive material, it can be sheathed with an insulating material or on the contrary be naked.

L'alimentation électrique des accessoires électriques 22 est assurée par des moyens d'alimentation et/ou de commandes 25 fixes qui sont raccordées électriquement aux câbles 3 au moyen d'un collecteur tournant 26 associée à l'arbre d'enroulement 2. Le collecteur tournant 26 comprend une bague collectrice 27 solidaire de l'arbre 2 dont elle suit le mouvement de rotation. La bague 27 comprend autant de pistes que de polarité ou de conducteurs nécessaires au bon fonctionnement des accessoires électriques 22. Chacune des pistes est alors raccordée à un conducteur électrique intégré dans l'un câbles de suspension 3. Le collecteur tournant 26 comprend en outre un contacteur fixe 28 qui comprend autant de balais que la bague collectrice 27 comprend de pistes. Ainsi le collecteur tournant 26 assure, tout au long de la rotation de l'arbre d'enroulement 2, la continuité du circuit électrique entre les moyens de commandes 25 et les conducteurs intégrés au câble 3. The electrical power supply of the electrical accessories 22 is provided by supply and / or fixed control means 25 which are electrically connected to the cables 3 by means of a rotating collector 26 associated with the shaft. 2. The rotating manifold 26 comprises a slip ring 27 integral with the shaft 2, which it follows the rotational movement. The ring 27 comprises as many tracks as polarity or conductors necessary for the proper operation of the electrical accessories 22. Each of the tracks is then connected to an electrical conductor integrated in a suspension cables 3. The rotating manifold 26 further comprises a fixed contactor 28 which comprises as many brooms as the slip ring 27 comprises tracks. Thus, the rotating commutator 26 ensures, throughout the rotation of the winding shaft 2, the continuity of the electrical circuit between the control means 25 and the conductors integrated in the cable 3.

L'invention permet alors d'assurer une alimentation électrique ou une commande fiable des accessoires équipant la part de charge 4. Il doit être noté, à cet égard, que les moyens de commande 25 peuvent être de tout type approprié selon la nature des accessoires électriques mis en oeuvre et par exemple permettre d'assurer simplement une mise en marche et un arrêt des accessoires 25 ou, au contraire, un pilotage élaboré des accessoires s'intégrant, par exemple, dans des applications domotiques. Dans le cas d'accessoire comprenant des DEL ou LED, les moyens de commande pourront par exemple permettre une modulation de l'intensité lumineuse.The invention then makes it possible to ensure reliable power supply or control of the accessories equipping the load part 4. It should be noted, in this regard, that the control means 25 can be of any appropriate type depending on the nature of the accessories. electrical devices implemented and for example allow simply to turn on and off the accessories 25 or, on the contrary, an elaborate control accessories integrating, for example, in home automation applications. In the case of accessory comprising LEDs or LEDs, the control means may for example allow a modulation of the light intensity.

Selon l'invention, certaines au moins des lames 11 peuvent être équipées d'accessoires électriques tels que, par exemple, des diodes électroluminescentes, tout autre type d'accessoires électroniques pouvant également être envisagé.According to the invention, at least some of the blades 11 can be equipped with electrical accessories such as, for example, light-emitting diodes, any other type of electronic accessories that can also be envisaged.

Selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention illustrée à la figure 2 , chaque larme 11 portant des accessoires électrique, comprend, au niveau des extrémités de chaque lumière 30 de passage d'un câble de suspension 3, des contacts 31 destinés à venir contre le câble de suspension 3 correspondant lorsque la lame est placée dans une position sensiblement verticale ou très inclinée telle qu'illustrée entrée pointillé à la figure 2 . Ainsi, dans cette position correspondant en outre à une fermeture maximale de l'écran 10, l'alimentation des accessoires électriques équipant chaque lame est assuré via les contacts 31 et les câbles de suspension 3. Cette variante de réalisation permet un pilotage du fonctionnement des accessoires électrique ou électroniques équipant les lames en fonction de l'orientation de ces dernières.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. figure 2 Each tear 11 carrying electrical accessories, comprises, at the ends of each lumen 30 for passage of a suspension cable 3, the contacts 31 are intended to come against the corresponding suspension rope 3 when the blade is placed in a position substantially vertical or very sloping as illustrated dotted entry at the figure 2 .
