Description

La présente invention concerne un système d'ouverture et de fermeture de battants, en particulier pour une installation d'ouvrant à double battant. L'invention concerne également une installation d'ouvrant à double battant équipée d'un tel système, par exemple un portail, une porte ou un volet de fenêtre à double battant. L'invention concerne également un ensemble domotique comprenant au moins deux installations d'ouvrants à double battants. Enfin, l'invention concerne un procédé d'ouverture et de fermeture de battants. Le domaine de l'invention est celui des systèmes actionneurs pour les battants d'ouvrants.The present invention relates to a system for opening and closing wings, in particular for a double leaf opening system. The invention also relates to a double leaf opening system equipped with such a system, for example a gate, a door or a double-leaf window flap. The invention also relates to a home automation system comprising at least two double leaf opening systems. Finally, the invention relates to a method of opening and closing flaps. The field of the invention is that of the actuator systems for the wing flaps.

Lors de la fermeture de deux battants équipant un même ouvrant, ceux-ci peuvent entrer en interférence mécanique en approchant de leurs positions fermées. Pour éviter de telles interférences, les battants peuvent être manoeuvrés par un système d'actionneurs synchronisés, pilotés par une unité de commande centrale. Les actionneurs ferment les battants en décalage, notamment par temporisation électronique.When closing two leaves equipping the same opening, they can enter mechanical interference approaching their closed positions. To avoid such interference, the leaves can be operated by a system of synchronized actuators, controlled by a central control unit. The actuators close the leaves in offset, in particular by electronic time delay.

En cas de vent fort, ou tout autre type d'intempérie, l'un des ou les battants peuvent être poussés ou freinés par le vent. Une synchronisation automatique des actionneurs et battants par temporisation n'est alors pas adaptée.In case of strong wind, or any other type of weather, one or the leaves can be pushed or braked by the wind. Automatic synchronization of the actuators and flaps by timing is not suitable.

Les actionneurs peuvent être équipés de capteurs et communiquer entre eux en cas de situation anormale, notamment pour adapter leur comportement. Les moyens de communication entre actionneurs peuvent être des câbles électriques ou des dispositifs émetteur/récepteur radio. Les câbles électriques compliquent l'installation du système et manquent d'esthétique.The actuators can be equipped with sensors and communicate with each other in case of abnormal situation, in particular to adapt their behavior. The communication means between actuators may be electrical cables or radio transmitter / receiver devices. Electrical cables complicate the installation of the system and lack aesthetics.

WO-A-2010/106562 décrit un système de commande de battants, équipant une installation d'ouvrant à double battant. Le système comprend un actionneur maître coopérant avec un premier battant et un actionneur esclave coopérant avec un second battant. Ce document ne fait aucune distinction entre un battant couvrant et un battant couvert. Chaque actionneur maître ou esclave comprend une unité de commande et un moteur électrique qui lui est propre. En l'espèce, ce document ne fournit aucune information sur un dispositif de commande, qui communiquerait avec l'unité de commande intégrée à l'actionneur maître. WO-2010/106562 describes a control system of wings, equipping a double leaf opening installation. The system comprises a master actuator cooperating with a first leaf and a slave actuator cooperating with a second wing. This document makes no distinction between a covering wing and a covered wing. Each master or slave actuator comprises a control unit and an electric motor of its own. In this case, this document provides no information on a control device, which would communicate with the control unit integrated with the master actuator.

FR-A-2 872 537 décrit un système d'ouverture et de fermeture de battants, comprenant deux actionneurs pilotés par une unité de commande centrale. L'actionneur maître pilote le battant couvert, tandis que l'actionneur esclave pilote le battant couvrant. Le protocole de communication est bidirectionnel, avec confirmation de la bonne réception des signaux de consigne émis. L'utilisation d'un tel protocole bidirectionnel est complexe et coûteuse, en programmation et en exploitation. De préférence, l'ouverture ou la fermeture des battants par les actionneurs est effectuée avec une temporisation électronique afin d'éviter les interférences mécaniques. L'utilisation d'un protocole radio bidirectionnel permet d'optimiser la synchronisation entre actionneurs, mais est complexe et coûteuse. FR-A-2,872,537 describes a system for opening and closing wings, comprising two actuators controlled by a central control unit. The master actuator drives the covered wing, while the slave actuator controls the covering wing. The communication protocol is bidirectional, with confirmation of the good reception of the setpoint signals transmitted. The use of such a bidirectional protocol is complex and expensive, in programming and operation. Preferably, the opening or closing of the wings by the actuators is performed with an electronic timer to avoid mechanical interference. The use of a bidirectional radio protocol makes it possible to optimize synchronization between actuators, but is complex and expensive.

Par ailleurs, la difficulté de ce type d'installation comprenant un battant couvert et un battant couvrant est de gérer des séquences de mouvement inversées à l'ouverture et à la fermeture. En effet, à l'ouverture, le battant couvrant doit se déplacer en premier, tandis qu'à la fermeture, ce même battant couvrant doit être piloté en dernier.In addition, the difficulty of this type of installation comprising a covered leaf and a covering leaf is to manage inverted movement sequences at the opening and closing. Indeed, at the opening, the covering flap must move first, while at closing, the same covering flap must be driven last.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un système actionneur permettant d'éviter les interférences mécaniques entre battants couvert et couvrant avec une complexité et un coût réduits.The object of the present invention is to provide an actuator system to avoid mechanical interference between doors covered and covering with reduced complexity and cost.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un système de commande de battants conforme à la revendication 1.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a wing control system according to claim 1.

Ainsi, l'invention permet d'améliorer le fonctionnement du système d'ouverture et de fermeture de battants. En distinguant le battant couvert et le battant couvrant, leurs déplacements peuvent être synchronisés par les actionneurs à l'aide d'un simple protocole de communication radio unidirectionnel. Le système est peu coûteux, simple à fabriquer et à installer. Le système est performant même en cas d'intempéries, sans nécessiter des moyens de synchronisation complexes et coûteux. Les interférences mécaniques susceptibles de gêner la fermeture des battants, voire d'endommager les battants ou les actionneurs, sont facilement évitées.Thus, the invention makes it possible to improve the operation of the system for opening and closing flaps. By distinguishing between the covered wing and the covering wing, their movements can be synchronized by the actuators using a simple unidirectional radio communication protocol. The system is inexpensive, simple to manufacture and install. The system is powerful even in bad weather, without requiring complex and expensive means of synchronization. Mechanical interference that may hinder the closing of the leaves, or even damage to the leaves or actuators, is easily avoided.

  • Le système comprend des moyens de détection de l'arrivée du battant couvrant dans la zone d'interférence potentielle et l'actionneur maître est configuré pour transmettre une consigne de fermeture à l'actionneur esclave lorsque le battant couvert est détecté dans la zone d'interférence potentielle.
  • Le système comprend des moyens de gestion de vitesse des battants, en particulier de réduction de vitesse des battants à partir de l'entrée dans la zone d'interférence potentielle.
  • La position intermédiaire de non-interférence est enregistrée dans une mémoire du système, notamment une mémoire de l'actionneur esclave, comme une position utilisable en tant que position intermédiaire prédéfinie.
  • L'actionneur maître est configuré pour transmettre une consigne de fermeture à l'actionneur esclave lorsque le battant couvert atteint la position fermée.
  • L'actionneur maître et l'actionneur esclave sont chacun alimentés en énergie par des moyens d'alimentation indépendants, de préférence chaque actionneur est alimenté par un panneau solaire relié à une batterie interne à l'actionneur.
  • Le dispositif de commande est configuré pour envoyer une première consigne de fermeture à l'actionneur maître, qui est configuré pour, à la réception de la première consigne, transmettre une deuxième consigne de fermeture à l'actionneur esclave.
According to other advantageous features of the invention, taken separately or in combination:
  • The system is able to cause the same sequence of movement, upon receipt of a closing order or an order of opening, between the master actuator and the slave actuator, without time shift perceptible by a user.
  • The system delimits a potential interference zone of the leaves, and is configured, during a closing operation of the leaves, to stop the covering wing in a predefined intermediate position of non-interference, at the edge of the zone, up to the covered leaf reaches a closed position.

  • The master actuator is configured to transmit a close command to the slave actuator when the covered flap reaches the closed position.
  • The master actuator and the slave actuator are each supplied with energy by independent power supply means, preferably each actuator is powered by a solar panel connected to a battery internal to the actuator.
  • The control device is configured to send a first closure setpoint to the master actuator, which is configured to, on receiving the first setpoint, transmit a second closing setpoint to the slave actuator.

L'invention a également pour objet une installation d'ouvrant à double battant, comprenant un battant couvert et un battant couvrant, caractérisée en ce qu'elle est équipée d'un système d'ouverture et de fermeture de battants tel que mentionné ci-dessus. L'installation est par exemple un portail, une porte d'entrée ou de garage, ou un volet de fenêtre à double battant.The invention also relates to a double leaf opening system, comprising a covered leaf and a cover flap, characterized in that it is equipped with a system for opening and closing flaps as mentioned above. above. The installation is for example a gate, an entrance door or garage, or a double-leaf window pane.

L'invention a également pour objet un ensemble domotique, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend au moins deux installations d'ouvrant à double battant tel que mentionné ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a home automation system, characterized in that it comprises at least two installations of opening double leaf as mentioned above.

Avantageusement, les systèmes d'ouverture et de fermeture de battants équipant les installations sont commandés par un dispositif de commande commun, émettant selon un protocole de communication radio unidirectionnel. Autrement dit, l'ensemble domotique comprend un unique dispositif de commande. Cette variante est bien adaptée lorsque les installations sont d'un même type et/ou sont situées dans une même pièce ou partie d'un bâtiment.Advantageously, the opening and closing systems of the leaves equipping the installations are controlled by a common control device, transmitting according to a unidirectional radio communication protocol. In other words, the home automation set comprises a single control device. This variant is well suited when the installations are of the same type and / or are located in the same room or part of a building.

L'invention a également pour objet un procédé conforme à la revendication 14.The invention also relates to a method according to claim 14.

Ce procédé est adapté pour être mis en oeuvre avec un système et une installation tels que mentionnés ci-dessus.This method is adapted to be implemented with a system and an installation as mentioned above.

De préférence, lors de la réception d'un signal de consigne de mouvement, la séquence de déplacement du battant couvrant et du battant couvert est la même que la consigne soit un ordre d'ouverture ou un ordre de fermeture.Preferably, when receiving a movement command signal, the sequence of movement of the covering flap and the covered flap is the same as the setpoint is an opening order or a closing order.

En outre, à réception d'un ordre d'ouverture ou d'un ordre de fermeture, les deux battants sont déplacés quasi-simultanément.In addition, upon receipt of an order of opening or a closing order, the two leaves are moved almost simultaneously.

The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of nonlimiting example and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is a horizontal section, in a plane perpendicular to the vertical wall of a building, a double-leaf shutter installation according to the invention, equipped with a system for opening and closing flaps also in accordance with the invention, showing the leaves in open position;

  • the figure 7 is a schematic representation of a home automation system according to the invention, comprising two double-leaf opening systems equipped with opening and closing systems of the wings according to a third embodiment of the invention; and
  • the figure 8 a schematic representation similar to the figure 7 of a fourth embodiment of the invention.

Sur les figures 1 à 4 est représentée une installation 3 de volet à double battant équipant une fenêtre 5 ménagée dans un bâtiment 1.On the Figures 1 to 4 a double-leaf flap installation 3 is shown equipping a window 5 in a building 1.

Le bâtiment 1 comporte une ouverture dans une paroi extérieure verticale 2, au niveau de laquelle se situe la fenêtre 5. Des parois verticales 6 et 7 délimitent l'ouverture ou encadrement 8 de la fenêtre 5. La fenêtre 5 est disposée vers l'intérieur du bâtiment 1 et comporte un cadre vitré 9 pouvant être pivotant ou coulissant. Le cadre vitré 9 laisse passer la lumière et, dans une certaine mesure, remplit une fonction d'isolation sonore et thermique.The building 1 has an opening in a vertical outer wall 2, at which the window 5 is located. Vertical walls 6 and 7 delimit the opening or frame 8 of the window 5. The window 5 is disposed towards the inside. of the building 1 and comprises a glazed frame 9 which can be pivoted or sliding. The glazed frame 9 passes light and, to a certain extent, fulfills a function of sound and heat insulation.

L'installation 3 comprend un battant couvert 10 et un battant couvrant 20 articulés sur la paroi extérieure 2 du bâtiment 1, ainsi qu'un système motorisé 30 d'ouverture et de fermeture des battants 10 et 20. L'installation 3 est spécifiquement prévue pour remplir une fonction d'isolation thermique et sonore et de protection solaire pour les occupants et l'intérieur du bâtiment 1, situés de l'autre côté de la fenêtre 5 et de la vitre 9. A cet effet, les battants 10 et 20 peuvent être sélectivement actionnés par le système motorisé 30 pour occulter ou exposer la fenêtre 5. Une installation d'ouvrant manuelle, dénuée de système motorisé 30, est exclue du cadre de l'invention.The installation 3 comprises a covered leaf 10 and a leaf covering 20 articulated on the outer wall 2 of the building 1, as well as a motorized system 30 for opening and closing the leaves 10 and 20. The installation 3 is specifically provided for to fulfill a function of thermal and sound insulation and solar protection for the occupants and the interior of the building 1, located on the other side of the window 5 and the window 9. For this purpose, the leaves 10 and 20 can be selectively actuated by the motorized system 30 to obscure or expose the window 5. A manual sash installation, devoid of motorized system 30, is excluded from the scope of the invention.

Chaque battant 10 et 20 se présente comme un panneau d'occultation massif ou du type volet à persiennes, pourvu de fentes minces pouvant laisser passer de fines raies lumineuses. Les battants 10 et 20 peuvent être fabriqués en tout type de matériau, par exemple en bois, aluminium ou PVC. Le battant couvert 10 comprend une extrémité munie d'une charnière 12 fixée sur la paroi 2, ainsi qu'une extrémité 14 opposée à cette charnière 12. Le battant couvrant 20 comprend une extrémité munie d'une charnière 22 fixée sur la paroi 2, ainsi qu'une extrémité 24 opposée à cette charnière 22. Les extrémités 14 et 24 présentent des formes complémentaires, de sorte que lorsque les battants 10 et 20 sont fermés, l'extrémité 14 peut être recouverte par l'extrémité 24 mais ne peut pas couvrir l'extrémité 24. Autrement dit, on distingue l'extrémité couverte 14 et l'extrémité couvrante 24.Each leaf 10 and 20 is presented as a massive occulting panel or louvre shutter type, provided with thin slots can pass fine light lines. The leaves 10 and 20 can be made of any type of material, for example wood, aluminum or PVC. The covered leaf 10 comprises an end provided with a hinge 12 fixed on the wall 2, and an end 14 opposite to this hinge 12. The covering leaf 20 comprises an end provided with a hinge 22 fixed on the wall 2, and an end 24 opposite to the hinge 22. The ends 14 and 24 have complementary shapes, so that when the leaves 10 and 20 are closed, the end 14 may be covered by the end 24 but can not cover the end 24. In other words, there is the covered end 14 and the covering end 24.

Le battant 10 est montré dans une position ouverte 16 à la figure 1, dans une position fermée 18 aux figures 2 et 4, et dans une position intermédiaire 17 à la figure 3. Le battant 20 est montré dans une position ouverte 26 à la figure 1, dans une position fermée 28 à la figure 2, et dans une position intermédiaire 17 aux figures 3 et 4.The wing 10 is shown in an open position 16 at the figure 1 , in a closed position 18 to figures 2 and 4 , and in an intermediate position 17 to the figure 3 . The wing 20 is shown in an open position 26 at the figure 1 in a closed position 28 at the figure 2 , and in an intermediate position 17 to Figures 3 and 4 .

Plus précisément, les positions intermédiaires 17 et 27 situées entre les positions ouvertes 16 et 26 et les positions fermées 18 et 28 correspondent à des positions limites de non-interférence entre les battants 10 et 20. On note P0 un plan vertical de référence délimité par la paroi 2 du bâtiment 1. Les surfaces extérieures des battants 10 et 20 en positions fermées 18 et 28 peuvent être alignées dans le plan P0, ou être décalées légèrement en retrait ou en saillie. En position 17, le battant 10 est incliné d'un angle limite ß17 vers l'extérieur du bâtiment 1 par rapport au plan de référence P0. En position 27, le battant 20 est incliné d'un angle limite ß27 vers l'extérieur du bâtiment 1 par rapport au plan de référence P0. En positions 17 et 27, les battants 10 et 20 délimitent, entre eux et le plan P0, une zone d'interférence Z37.More precisely, the intermediate positions 17 and 27 located between the open positions 16 and 26 and the closed positions 18 and 28 correspond to limit positions of non-interference between the leaves 10 and 20. P0 denotes a vertical reference plane delimited by the wall 2 of the building 1. The outer surfaces of the flaps 10 and 20 in closed positions 18 and 28 may be aligned in the plane P0, or be offset slightly recessed or projecting. In position 17, the leaf 10 is inclined at a limiting angle β17 towards the outside of the building 1 with respect to the reference plane P0. In position 27, the leaf 20 is inclined at a limiting angle β27 towards the outside of the building 1 with respect to the reference plane P0. In positions 17 and 27, the wings 10 and 20 delimit, between them and the plane P0, an interference zone Z37.

Lorsqu'au moins un des battants 10 ou 20 est incliné par rapport au plan P0 d'un angle supérieur à son angle limite ß17 ou ß27, c'est-à-dire qu'au moins un des battants 10 et 20 est situé hors de la zone d'interférence Z37, aucune interférence ne peut se produire entre les battants 10 et 20. Lorsque chacun des deux battants 10 et 20 est incliné par rapport au plan P0 d'un angle inférieur à son angle limite respectif ß17 ou ß27, c'est-à-dire que les battants 10 et 20 sont tous deux situés dans la zone d'interférence Z37, alors une interférence peut se produire entre les battants 10 et 20. Une telle interférence, où les battants 10 et 20 viennent se heurter et peuvent être endommagés, peut survenir en particulier à la fermeture des battants 10 et 20.When at least one of the leaves 10 or 20 is inclined with respect to the plane PO at an angle greater than its limit angle β17 or β27, that is to say that at least one of the leaves 10 and 20 is located out of the interference zone Z37, no interference can occur between the wings 10 and 20. When each of the two wings 10 and 20 is inclined relative to the plane PO at an angle less than its respective limit angle β17 or β27, that is, the wings 10 and 20 are both located in the interference zone Z37, then interference can occur between the flaps 10 and 20. Such interference, where the flaps 10 and 20 are striking and can be damaged, can occur in particular at the closing of the leaves 10 and 20.

Le système motorisé 30 d'ouverture et de fermeture des battants 10 et 20 comprend une télécommande 40, un actionneur maître 50 coopérant mécaniquement avec le battant couvert 10 et un actionneur esclave 60 coopérant mécaniquement avec le battant couvrant 20. En l'espèce, l'actionneur maître 50 est configuré pour coopérer avec le battant couvert 10, tandis que l'actionneur esclave 60 est configuré pour coopérer avec le battant couvrant 20, comme détaillé ci-après.The motorized system 30 for opening and closing the leaves 10 and 20 comprises a remote control 40, a master actuator 50 mechanically cooperating with the covered leaf 10 and a slave actuator 60 cooperating mechanically with the covering wing 20. In this case, the master actuator 50 is configured to cooperate with the covered leaf 10, while the slave actuator 60 is configured to cooperate with the covering leaf 20, as detailed below.

L'actionneur 50 commande les déplacements du battant couvert 10, tandis que l'actionneur esclave 60 commande les déplacements du battant couvrant 20, en fonction des signaux de consigne émis par la télécommande 40 à destination de l'actionneur maître 50. A cet effet, l'actionneur 50 comprend un bras articulé 52 relié par une articulation 54 au battant 10, tandis que l'actionneur 60 comprend un bras articulé 62 relié par une articulation 64 au battant 20. Chaque actionneur 50 et 60 comprend un carter dans lequel est situé un moteur électrique et un réducteur formant un ensemble motoréducteur d'entraînement du bras articulé 52 ou 62, des moyens de communication radio, ainsi qu'une carte électronique de pilotage du moteur en fonction des consignes reçues par les moyens de communication radio. Ces éléments constitutifs des actionneurs 50 et 60 ne sont pas représentés aux figures 1 à 4 dans un but de simplification.The actuator 50 controls the movements of the covered leaf 10, while the slave actuator 60 controls the movements of the leaf 20 covering, depending set signals transmitted by the remote control 40 to the master actuator 50. For this purpose, the actuator 50 comprises an articulated arm 52 connected by a hinge 54 to the leaf 10, while the actuator 60 comprises an articulated arm 62 is connected by a hinge 64 to the leaf 20. Each actuator 50 and 60 comprises a casing in which is located an electric motor and a gearbox forming a geared motor drive unit of the articulated arm 52 or 62, radio communication means, as well as an electronic card for controlling the motor according to the instructions received by the radio communication means. These constitutive elements of the actuators 50 and 60 are not represented in FIGS. Figures 1 to 4 for the sake of simplification.

De préférence, les moteurs équipant les actionneurs 50 et 60 sont sous-dimensionnés en fonctionnement dynamique par rapport au fonctionnement statique. A titre d'exemple non limitatif, les moteurs fournissent un couple dynamique de l'ordre de 20 N.m et un couple statique de l'ordre de 100 N.m. Ainsi, leur coût et le coût du système motorisé 30 est encore plus réduit. Le couple dynamique est suffisant pour déplacer les battants 10 et 20, tandis que le couple statique est bien adapté pour les maintenir en position ouverte 16, 26 ou en position fermée 18, 28.Preferably, the motors equipping actuators 50 and 60 are undersized in dynamic operation with respect to static operation. By way of non-limiting example, the motors provide a dynamic torque of the order of 20 Nm and a static torque of the order of 100 N.m. Thus, their cost and the cost of the motorized system 30 is even smaller. The dynamic torque is sufficient to move the leaves 10 and 20, while the static torque is well adapted to maintain them in the open position 16, 26 or in the closed position 18, 28.

En outre, chaque actionneur 50 et 60 est alimenté en énergie électrique par des moyens d'alimentation indépendants, notamment une batterie interne au carter. La batterie peut être autonome ou reliée à une source d'alimentation externe. Avantageusement, chaque actionneur 50 et 60 peut être alimenté par un panneau solaire disposé sur la paroi 2 du bâtiment 1 et relié à sa batterie interne. Ces moyens d'alimentation en énergie ne sont également pas représentés aux figures 1 à 4.In addition, each actuator 50 and 60 is supplied with electrical energy by independent power supply means, in particular a battery internal to the housing. The battery can be standalone or connected to an external power source. Advantageously, each actuator 50 and 60 can be powered by a solar panel disposed on the wall 2 of the building 1 and connected to its internal battery. These means of supplying energy are also not represented in Figures 1 to 4 .

Les actionneurs 50 et 60 comprennent également des moyens de débrayage, non représentés dans un but de simplification, de sorte que les battants 10 et 20 puissent être manoeuvrés manuellement en cas de nécessité (vent fort ou alimentation insuffisante par exemple).The actuators 50 and 60 also comprise disengaging means, not shown for purposes of simplification, so that the wings 10 and 20 can be operated manually if necessary (strong wind or insufficient power, for example).

La télécommande 40 est configurée pour envoyer des signaux radio à l'actionneur maître 50. La carte électronique maître de l'actionneur 50 est configurée, d'une part, pour recevoir des consignes de la télécommande 40, sans émettre aucun signal en retour vers la télécommande 40 et, d'autre part, pour transmettre les consignes reçues ou d'autres consignes, éventuellement en les adaptant avant de les transmettre, à la carte électronique esclave de l'actionneur 60. Cette carte électronique esclave de l'actionneur 60 est configurée pour recevoir des consignes de l'actionneur maître 50, sans émettre aucun signal en retour, que ce soit vers l'actionneur maître 50 ou vers la télécommande 40. Autrement dit, le système motorisé 30 comprend des moyens de communication radio uniquement unidirectionnelle, avec des signaux de consigne émis sans confirmation de leur réception en retour.The remote control 40 is configured to send radio signals to the master actuator 50. The master electronic board of the actuator 50 is configured, on the one hand, to receive instructions from the remote control 40, without sending any signal back to the remote control 40 and, on the other hand, to transmit the received instructions or other instructions, possibly by adapting them before transmitting them, to the slave electronic card of the actuator 60. This slave electronic card of the actuator 60 is configured to receive instructions from the master actuator 50, without sending any feedback signal, either to the master actuator 50 or to the remote control 40. In other words, the motorized system 30 comprises radio communication means only unidirectional, with setpoint signals issued without confirmation of their receipt in return.

En alternative ou en complément, la télécommande 40 peut également transmettre des signaux de consigne à la carte électronique de l'actionneur esclave 60. Cela permet d'éviter la retransmission systématique des consignes par l'actionneur maître 50, en particulier dans le cas d'une commande générale.Alternatively or in addition, the remote control 40 can also transmit setpoint signals to the electronic card of the slave actuator 60. This makes it possible to avoid the systematic retransmission of the instructions by the master actuator 50, in particular in the case of a general order.

La fréquence de radiocommunication au sein du système motorisé 30, entre les éléments 40, 50 et 60, est choisie de manière adaptée à la présente application. A titre d'exemple non limitatif, la communication radio est effectuée sur un unique canal à une fréquence d'environ 433 MHz, ou bien d'environ 868 MHz. Le signal peut être codé pour garantir la sécurité du système, selon les règles et directives en vigueur.The radiocommunication frequency within the motorized system 30, between the elements 40, 50 and 60, is chosen in a manner adapted to the present application. By way of nonlimiting example, the radio communication is performed on a single channel at a frequency of approximately 433 MHz, or approximately 868 MHz. The signal can be coded to guarantee the security of the system, according to the rules and directives in force.

De préférence, le signal correspondant à une unique consigne est répété plusieurs fois, par exemple quatre fois successives, sous forme de trame. Cette répétition réduit le risque de non transmission des consignes, d'une part, du fait de l'utilisation du protocole de communication unidirectionnelle, selon lequel la réception et l'exécution des consignes ne sont pas confirmées par un signal retour et, d'autre part, du fait d'interférences radio ponctuelles pouvant affecter la fréquence utilisée. Le fonctionnement du système motorisé 30 est ainsi assuré, avec des moyens de communication unidirectionnelle simples et efficaces.Preferably, the signal corresponding to a single setpoint is repeated several times, for example four times in succession, in the form of a frame. This repetition reduces the risk of non-transmission of the instructions, on the one hand, because of the use of the unidirectional communication protocol, according to which the reception and the execution of the instructions are not confirmed by a return signal and, of on the other hand, because of occasional radio interference which may affect the frequency used. The operation of the motorized system 30 is thus ensured, with simple and effective unidirectional communication means.

En pratique, le système motorisé 30 permet d'éviter les interférences mécaniques entre battants 10 et 20, même en cas d'intempéries, comme détaillé ci-après.In practice, the motorized system 30 avoids mechanical interference between leaves 10 and 20, even in bad weather, as detailed below.

Lors d'une opération de fermeture des battants 10 et 20, la télécommande 40 transmet une consigne C41 de fermeture à l'actionneur maître 50, qui à son tour transmet une consigne C51 de fermeture intermédiaire à l'actionneur esclave 60, comme montré à la figure 1. Les actionneurs 50 et 60 commencent quasi-simultanément à fermer les deux battants 10 et 20. L'action des bras 52 et 62 fait pivoter les battants 10 et 20 autour de leurs charnières respectives 12 et 22, avec les extrémités 14 et 24 qui se rapprochent l'une de l'autre. L'actionneur 50 ferme le battant 10 jusqu'en position fermée 18, suivant un mouvement de rotation ininterrompu en conditions normales de fonctionnement. En revanche, l'actionneur 60 ferme le battant 20 seulement jusqu'en position intermédiaire 27, afin d'éviter toute interférence potentielle dans la zone Z37.During a closing operation of the leaves 10 and 20, the remote control 40 transmits a closing instruction C41 to the master actuator 50, which in turn transmits an intermediate closure setpoint C51 to the slave actuator 60, as shown in FIG. the figure 1 . The actuators 50 and 60 begin almost simultaneously to close the two leaves 10 and 20. The action of the arms 52 and 62 pivots the leaves 10 and 20 around their respective hinges 12 and 22, with the ends 14 and 24 which are bring one closer to the other. The actuator 50 closes the leaf 10 to the closed position 18, in an uninterrupted rotational movement under normal operating conditions. In contrast, the actuator 60 closes the wing 20 only to the intermediate position 27, in order to avoid any potential interference in the zone Z37.

Lorsque l'actionneur 50 a amené le battant 10 en position fermée 18, cet actionneur 50 transmet une consigne C52 de fermeture complète à l'actionneur 60, comme montré à la figure 4. A ce stade, le battant 20 est maintenu par l'actionneur 60 en position intermédiaire 27, en bordure de la zone Z37. A réception de la consigne C52, l'actionneur 60 ferme le battant 20 jusqu'en position fermée 28. L'extrémité 24 recouvre l'extrémité 14. L'installation d'ouvrant 3 occulte alors la fenêtre 5.When the actuator 50 has brought the leaf 10 to the closed position 18, this actuator 50 transmits a set point C52 of complete closure to the actuator 60, as shown in FIG. figure 4 . At this stage, the leaf 20 is held by the actuator 60 in the intermediate position 27, at the edge of the zone Z37. On receipt of the deposit C52, the actuator 60 closes the leaf 20 to the closed position 28. The end 24 covers the end 14. The sash installation 3 then obscures the window 5.

Lors d'une opération d'ouverture des battants 10 et 20, la télécommande 40 transmet une consigne d'ouverture à l'actionneur maître 50, qui à son tour transmet une consigne d'ouverture à l'actionneur esclave 60. Les actionneurs 50 et 60 commencent quasi-simultanément à ouvrir les deux battants 10 et 20. L'action des bras 52 et 62 fait pivoter les battants 10 et 20 autour de leurs charnières respectives 12 et 22, avec l'extrémité couverte 14 du battant 10 qui suit et repousse l'extrémité couvrante 24 du battant 20.During an opening operation of the leaves 10 and 20, the remote control 40 transmits an opening instruction to the master actuator 50, which in turn transmits an opening instruction to the slave actuator 60. The actuators 50 and 60 begin almost simultaneously to open the two leaves 10 and 20. The action of the arms 52 and 62 pivots the wings 10 and 20 around their respective hinges 12 and 22, with the covered end 14 of the wing 10 which follows and pushes the covering end 24 of the leaf 20.

Dans ces conditions, aucune interférence ne peut se produire dans la zone d'interférence Z37 lors de l'ouverture. En cas de vent fort, les battants 10 et 20 sont ralentis ensemble, sans que les extrémités 14 et 24 ne puissent se coincer. Après la sortie de la zone Z37, les extrémités 14 et 24 s'éloignent l'une de l'autre, jusqu'à ce que les battants 10 et 20 atteignent leurs positions ouvertes respectives 18 et 28 contre la paroi 2. L'installation d'ouvrant 3 ne couvre alors plus la fenêtre 5.Under these conditions, no interference can occur in the Z37 interference zone during opening. In case of strong wind, the leaves 10 and 20 are slowed together, without the ends 14 and 24 can get stuck. After leaving the zone Z37, the ends 14 and 24 move away from each other until the leaves 10 and 20 reach their respective open positions 18 and 28 against the wall 2. The installation opening 3 then no longer covers the window 5.

Ainsi, en cas de vent fort freinant ou poussant les battants 10 et 20, ceux-ci peuvent être ouverts ou fermés à une allure réduite ou accrue par rapport à la vitesse de fermeture ou d'ouverture prévue par la configuration des moteurs équipant les actionneurs 50 et 60, sans problème d'interférence ou de désynchronisation. En cas de vent trop fort ou si l'un des battants 10 ou 20 rencontre un obstacle, le moteur de l'actionneur 50 ou 60 correspondant peut être stoppé automatiquement, par mesure de sécurité. Les actionneurs 50 et 60 sont alors découplés et les battants 10 et 20 de volet peuvent être fermés ou ouverts manuellement.Thus, in the event of strong braking wind or pushing the wings 10 and 20, they can be opened or closed at a reduced or increased pace with respect to the closing or opening speed provided by the configuration of the motors equipping the actuators. 50 and 60, without interference or desynchronization problems. In case of wind too strong or if one of the leafs 10 or 20 encounters an obstacle, the engine of the actuator 50 or 60 corresponding can be stopped automatically, for safety. The actuators 50 and 60 are then decoupled and the flaps 10 and 20 flap can be closed or opened manually.

En outre, le système motorisé 40 est apte à provoquer une même séquence de mouvement, à réception d'un ordre de fermeture ou d'un ordre d'ouverture, entre l'actionneur maître 50 et l'actionneur esclave 60, sans décalage temporel perceptible par un utilisateur.In addition, the motorized system 40 is able to cause the same sequence of movement, upon receipt of a closing command or an opening command, between the master actuator 50 and the slave actuator 60, without time offset. perceptible by a user.

Par ailleurs, le système motorisé 30 peut comprendre d'autres signaux de consigne transmis suivant un protocole unidirectionnel. Par exemple, la télécommande 40 peut commander la fermeture du seul battant couvert 10 en position fermée 18, tandis que le battant couvrant 20 reste en position ouverte 26. De préférence, le système motorisé 30 ne permet pas de fermer le seul battant couvrant 20 alors que le battant couvert 10 n'est pas fermé, mais peut être configuré en ce sens, avec les précautions requises pour éviter que le battant couvert 10 ne se referme sur le battant couvrant 20.Furthermore, the motorized system 30 may comprise other setpoint signals transmitted according to a unidirectional protocol. For example, the remote control 40 can control the closure of the only covered leaf 10 in the closed position 18, while the covering leaf 20 remains in the open position 26. Preferably, the motorized system 30 does not make it possible to close the only leaf 20 covering then that the covered leaf 10 is not closed, but can be configured in this direction, with the necessary precautions to prevent the covered leaf 10 from closing on the covering leaf 20.

De préférence, le système motorisé 30 comprend des moyens de détection de l'arrivée du battant couvrant 20 dans la zone Z37. Dans ce cas, l'actionneur maître 50 est configuré pour transmettre une consigne de fermeture à l'actionneur esclave 60 lorsque le battant couvert 10 est détecté dans la zone Z37, sans attendre la fermeture complète du battant couvert 10. A cet effet, la position intermédiaire 17 de non-interférence peut être enregistrée dans une mémoire du système 30, notamment une mémoire de l'actionneur maître 50, comme position utilisable en tant que position intermédiaire prédéfinie. De même, la position intermédiaire 27 de non-interférence peut être enregistrée dans une mémoire du système 30, notamment une mémoire de l'actionneur esclave 60, comme position utilisable en tant que position intermédiaire prédéfinie.Preferably, the motorized system 30 comprises means for detecting the arrival of the flap covering 20 in zone Z37. In this case, the master actuator 50 is configured to transmit a closing instruction to the slave actuator 60 when the covered leaf 10 is detected in the zone Z37, without waiting for the complete closure of the covered leaf 10. For this purpose, the intermediate position 17 of non-interference can be recorded in a memory of the system 30, in particular a memory of the master actuator 50, as a position that can be used as a predefined intermediate position. Similarly, the intermediate position 27 of non-interference can be stored in a system memory 30, including a memory of the slave actuator 60, as a position usable as a predefined intermediate position.

De préférence également, le système motorisé 30 comprend des moyens de gestion de vitesse des actionneurs 50 et 60 et donc des battants 10 et 20, en particulier des moyens de réduction de vitesse des battants 10 et 20 à partir de l'entrée dans la zone Z37.Also preferably, the motorized system 30 comprises speed management means of the actuators 50 and 60 and therefore leaves 10 and 20, in particular speed reduction means of the leaves 10 and 20 from the entry into the zone Z37.

Selon une variante, par mesure de sécurité, le système motorisé 30 peut être configuré avec une zone Z37 plus étendue que ses limites théoriques. Autrement dit, la zone Z37 mémorisée par le système motorisé 30 est alors délimitée par des positions 17 et 27 plus inclinées par rapport au plan P0 que nécessaire pour éviter les interférences.Alternatively, as a safety measure, the motorized system 30 may be configured with a zone Z37 wider than its theoretical limits. In other words, the zone Z37 stored by the motorized system 30 is then delimited by positions 17 and 27 more inclined relative to the plane P0 than necessary to avoid interference.

Selon une autre variante, le système motorisé 30 peut définir d'autres positions intermédiaires des battants 10 et 20, par exemple selon une orientation à angle droit avec le mur du bâtiment 1.According to another variant, the motorized system 30 can define other intermediate positions of the leaves 10 and 20, for example in a right-angle orientation with the wall of the building 1.

Selon une autre variante non représentée, les actionneurs 50 et 60 peuvent être munis de dispositifs auxiliaires connus de signalement lumineux et/ou sonore, en fonction des déplacements des battants 10 et 20. Cette variante est destinée notamment aux installations à double battant du type portail, domestique ou industriel.According to another variant not shown, the actuators 50 and 60 may be provided with known auxiliary devices for signaling light and / or sound, depending on the movements of the leaves 10 and 20. This variant is intended in particular for dual-gate type of gate , domestic or industrial.

Selon une autre variante non représentée, le système motorisé 30 peut comprendre un dispositif de commande 40 relié par des fils électriques à l'actionneur maître 50, fonctionnant suivant un protocole unidirectionnel. A titre d'exemple non limitatif, ce dispositif 40 peut être un boîtier muni de boutons de commande et fixé sur le mur intérieur du bâtiment 1, à côté de la fenêtre.According to another variant not shown, the motorized system 30 may comprise a control device 40 connected by electrical son to the master actuator 50, operating according to a unidirectional protocol. By way of non-limiting example, this device 40 may be a housing provided with control buttons and fixed on the interior wall of building 1, next to the window.

Selon une autre variante non représentée, l'installation d'ouvrant est agencée sur ou dans un support autre qu'un mur de bâtiment, par exemple un grillage, une clôture, une palissade, un mur d'enceinte. Cette variante correspond aux installations du type porte ou portail.According to another variant not shown, the opening installation is arranged on or in a support other than a building wall, for example a fence, a fence, a fence, a wall. This variant corresponds to installations of the door or gate type.

Sur les figures 5 et 6 est représenté un deuxième mode de réalisation d'une installation 103 équipée d'un système 130.On the Figures 5 and 6 a second embodiment of an installation 103 equipped with a system 130 is shown.

Les éléments constitutifs de cette installation 103 et de ce système 130 sont comparables à l'installation 3 et au système motorisé 30 du premier mode de réalisation, décrit plus haut, et portent les mêmes références augmentées de 100. Il s'agit de la télécommande 140, de l'actionneur maître 150 et de l'actionneur esclave 160, représentés schématiquement par des blocs. La communication est uniquement unidirectionnelle, avec des signaux de consigne émis sans confirmation de leur réception en retour. Les battants, la fenêtre et le bâtiment ne sont pas représentés dans un but de simplification.The constituent elements of this installation 103 and of this system 130 are comparable to the installation 3 and to the motorized system 30 of the first embodiment, described above, and have the same references increased by 100. This is the remote control 140, the master actuator 150 and the slave actuator 160, shown schematically by blocks. The communication is only unidirectional, with setpoint signals issued without confirmation of their receipt in return. The leaves, the window and the building are not represented for simplification purposes.

La principale différence avec le premier mode de réalisation est le fonctionnement des moyens de communication unidirectionnelle équipant le système 130.The main difference with the first embodiment is the operation of the unidirectional communication means equipping the system 130.

La télécommande 140 est configurée pour envoyer des signaux radio simultanément à l'actionneur maître 150 et à l'actionneur esclave 160. La carte électronique maître de l'actionneur 150 est configurée, d'une part, pour recevoir les consignes de la télécommande 140, sans émettre aucun signal en retour vers la télécommande 140 et, d'autre part, pour transmettre d'autres consignes à la carte électronique esclave de l'actionneur 160. Cette carte électronique esclave de l'actionneur 160 est configurée pour recevoir des consignes de la télécommande 140 et de l'actionneur maître 150, sans émettre aucun signal en retour.The remote control 140 is configured to send radio signals simultaneously to the master actuator 150 and to the slave actuator 160. The master electronic card of the actuator 150 is configured, on the one hand, to receive the instructions of the remote control 140 , without transmitting any signal back to the remote control 140 and, secondly, to transmit other instructions to the slave electronic card of the actuator 160. This slave electronic card of the actuator 160 is configured to receive instructions of the remote control 140 and the master actuator 150, without sending any signal back.

Lors d'une opération de fermeture des battants, la télécommande 140 transmet une consigne C141 de fermeture à chacun des actionneurs 150 et 160, comme montré à la figure 5. En pratique, ce signal de consigne C141 émis par la télécommande 140 est interprété de manière différente par chacun des actionneurs 150 et 160, qui commencent quasi-simultanément à fermer les deux battants. L'actionneur 150 ferme le battant couvert jusqu'en position fermée, tandis que l'actionneur 160 ferme le battant couvrant seulement jusqu'en position intermédiaire, en bordure de la zone d'interférences potentielles. Autrement dit, le signal de consigne C141 émis par la télécommande 140 provoque un mouvement différent pour le battant couvert et pour le battant couvrant. Le mouvement du battant couvrant est un mouvement partiel, alors que le mouvement du battant couvert est un mouvement de fermeture totale.During a closure operation of the leaves, the remote control 140 transmits a setpoint C141 closure to each of the actuators 150 and 160, as shown in the figure 5 . In practice, this reference signal C141 emitted by the remote control 140 is interpreted differently by each of the actuators 150 and 160, which begin almost simultaneously to close the two leaves. The actuator 150 closes the covered leaf to the closed position, while the actuator 160 closes the leaf covering only to the intermediate position, bordering the potential interference zone. In other words, the setpoint signal C141 emitted by the remote control 140 causes a different movement for the covered leaf and the covering wing. The movement of the covering wing is a partial movement, whereas the movement of the covered wing is a total closing movement.

Lorsque l'actionneur 150 a amené le battant couvert en position fermée, cet actionneur 150 transmet une consigne C152 de fermeture complète à l'actionneur 160, comme montré à la figure 6. A réception de la consigne C152, l'actionneur 160 ferme le battant couvrant jusqu'en position fermée. L'installation 103 d'ouvrant occulte alors la fenêtre.When the actuator 150 has brought the covered leaf to the closed position, this actuator 150 transmits a set point C152 of complete closure to the actuator 160, as shown in FIG. figure 6 . Upon receipt of the instruction C152, the actuator 160 closes the covering flap to the closed position. The sash installation 103 then obscures the window.

Quel que soit le mode de réalisation, le système motorisé 30 ou 130 est donc facile à installer et à utiliser sur l'installation 3 ou 103, fonctionne avec des dispositifs mécaniques et électroniques simples et peu coûteux, et est adaptable à une grande variété d'ouvrants à double battant. Le système d'ouverture ou de fermeture de battants selon l'invention est particulièrement adapté au marché des actionneurs électroniques de volets d'entrée de gamme, impliquant un coût global et une difficulté d'installation réduits.Whatever the embodiment, the motorized system 30 or 130 is therefore easy to install and use on the installation 3 or 103, operates with simple and inexpensive mechanical and electronic devices, and is adaptable to a wide variety of applications. double leaf opening. The system for opening or closing wings according to the invention is particularly suitable for the market of electronic actuators flaps entry-level, implying a reduced overall cost and installation difficulty.

Sur la figure 7 est représenté un ensemble domotique 200 comprenant deux installations d'ouvrant 203 et 204.On the figure 7 is shown a home automation system 200 comprising two opening systems 203 and 204.

L'installation 203 est équipée d'un système 231 comprenant une télécommande 240, un actionneur maître 250 et un actionneur esclave 260. L'installation 204 est équipée d'un système 232 comprenant la télécommande 240, un actionneur maître 270 et un actionneur esclave 280. La communication dans l'ensemble 200 est uniquement unidirectionnelle, avec des signaux de consigne émis sans confirmation de leur réception en retour.The installation 203 is equipped with a system 231 comprising a remote control 240, a master actuator 250 and a slave actuator 260. The installation 204 is equipped with a system 232 comprising the remote control 240, a master actuator 270 and a slave actuator 280. The communication in the set 200 is unidirectional only, with setpoint signals issued without confirmation of their receipt in return.

Les installations 203 et 204 et les systèmes 231 et 232 sont similaires à l'installation 3 et au système motorisé 30 du premier mode de réalisation, à l'exception du fait que la télécommande 240 est commune aux deux installations 203 et 204 et aux deux systèmes 231 et 232. Autrement dit, l'ensemble domotique 200 comprend une unique télécommande 240 pour piloter le fonctionnement des deux systèmes 231 et 232. De préférence, la télécommande 240 peut être configurée pour piloter les systèmes 231 et 232 de manière indépendante ou synchronisée.The installations 203 and 204 and the systems 231 and 232 are similar to the installation 3 and to the motorized system 30 of the first embodiment, except that the remote control 240 is common to the two installations 203 and 204 and to both 231 and 232. In other words, the home automation system 200 comprises a single remote control 240 for controlling the operation of the two systems 231 and 232. Preferably, the remote control 240 can be configured to control the systems 231 and 232 independently or synchronously .

Lorsque les systèmes 231 et 232 sont dissociés, la télécommande 240 pilote soit les actionneurs 250 et 260, soit les actionneurs 270 et 280, de manière analogue au système motorisé 30 du premier mode de réalisation.When the systems 231 and 232 are disassociated, the remote control 240 controls either the actuators 250 and 260, or the actuators 270 and 280, similarly to the motorized system 30 of the first embodiment.

Lorsque les systèmes 231 et 232 sont synchronisés, lors d'une opération de fermeture des battants, la télécommande 240 transmet une consigne C241 de fermeture aux actionneurs maîtres 250 et 270, comme montré à la figure 7. Chacun des actionneurs maîtres 250 et 270 transmet alors une consigne de fermeture intermédiaire à son actionneur esclave, respectivement 260 et 280. Lorsque le battant couvert coopérant avec l'actionneur 250 est fermé, cet actionneur 250 transmet une consigne de fermeture complète à l'actionneur 260. Lorsque le battant couvert coopérant avec l'actionneur 270 est fermé, cet actionneur 270 transmet une consigne de fermeture complète à l'actionneur 280.When the systems 231 and 232 are synchronized, during a closing operation of the leaves, the remote control 240 transmits a closing instruction C241 to the master actuators 250 and 270, as shown in FIG. figure 7 . Each of the master actuators 250 and 270 then transmits an intermediate closure setpoint to its slave actuator, respectively 260 and 280. When the covered leaf cooperating with the actuator 250 is closed, this actuator 250 transmits a complete closure instruction to the actuator 260. When the covered leaf cooperating with the actuator 270 is closed, this actuator 270 transmits a complete closing instruction to the actuator 280.

Selon une variante non préférentielle, l'ensemble 200 peut être configuré pour que les actionneurs maîtres 250 et 270 transmettent les consignes de fermeture complète des battants couvrants seulement lorsque tous les battants couverts de l'ensemble 200 sont fermés. Dans ce cas, chacun des actionneurs maîtres 250 et 270 transmet une information à l'autre actionneur maître lorsque le battant couvert qui lui est associé est fermé, puis lorsque tous les battants couverts sont fermés, chaque actionneur maître 250 et 270 transmet une consigne de fermeture complète à l'actionneur esclave 260 ou 280 qui lui est associé. En utilisant uniquement des moyens de communication unidirectionnelle, avec des signaux de consigne émis sans confirmation de leur réception en retour, il est ainsi possible de synchroniser les systèmes 231 et 232 entre eux lors de la fermeture complète. Cette variante est toutefois plus complexe et coûteuse à mettre en oeuvre.According to a non-preferential variant, the assembly 200 can be configured so that the master actuators 250 and 270 transmit the complete closing instructions of the covering wings only when all the covered leaves of the assembly 200 are closed. In this case, each of the master actuators 250 and 270 transmits information to the other master actuator when the covered leaf associated therewith is closed, then when all the covered leaves are closed, each master actuator 250 and 270 transmits an instruction of complete closure at slave actuator 260 or 280 associated with it. By using only unidirectional communication means, with setpoint signals issued without confirmation of their reception in return, it is thus possible to synchronize the systems 231 and 232 between them during complete closure. This variant is however more complex and expensive to implement.

Sur la figure 8 est représenté un ensemble domotique 300 comprenant deux installations d'ouvrant 303 et 304.On the figure 8 is shown a home automation assembly 300 comprising two opening systems 303 and 304.

L'installation 303 est équipée d'un système 331 comprenant une télécommande 340, un actionneur maître 350 et un actionneur esclave 360. L'installation 304 est équipée d'un système 332 comprenant la télécommande 340, un actionneur maître 370 et un actionneur esclave 380. La communication dans l'ensemble 300 est uniquement unidirectionnelle, avec des signaux de consigne émis sans confirmation de leur réception en retour.The installation 303 is equipped with a system 331 comprising a remote control 340, a master actuator 350 and a slave actuator 360. The installation 304 is equipped with a system 332 comprising the remote control 340, a master actuator 370 and a slave actuator 380. The communication in the set 300 is unidirectional only, with setpoint signals issued without confirmation of their receipt in return.

Les installations 303 et 304 et les systèmes 331 et 332 sont similaires à l'installation 103 et au système 130 du deuxième mode de réalisation, à l'exception du fait que la télécommande 340 est commune aux deux installations 303 et 304 et aux deux systèmes 331 et 332. L'ensemble domotique 300 comprend une unique télécommande 340 pour piloter le fonctionnement des deux systèmes 331 et 332. De préférence, la télécommande 340 peut être configurée pour piloter les systèmes 331 et 332 de manière indépendante ou synchronisée.The installations 303 and 304 and the systems 331 and 332 are similar to the installation 103 and the system 130 of the second embodiment, except that the remote control 340 is common to the two installations 303 and 304 and to both systems. 331 and 332. The home automation assembly 300 comprises a single remote control 340 for controlling the operation of the two systems 331 and 332. Preferably, the remote control 340 can be configured to control the systems 331 and 332 independently or synchronously.

Lorsque les systèmes 331 et 332 sont dissociés, la télécommande 340 pilote soit les actionneurs 350 et 360, soit les actionneurs 370 et 380, de manière analogue au système 130 du deuxième mode de réalisation.When the systems 331 and 332 are disassociated, the remote control 340 controls either the actuators 350 and 360, or the actuators 370 and 380, similarly to the system 130 of the second embodiment.

Lorsque les systèmes 331 et 332 sont synchronisés, lors d'une opération de fermeture des battants, la télécommande 340 transmet un signal de consigne C341 de fermeture aux actionneurs 350, 360, 370 et 380, comme montré à la figure 8. En pratique, ce signal de consigne C341 émis par la télécommande 340 est interprété de manière différente, d'une part, par les actionneurs maîtres 350 et 370 et d'autre part, par les actionneurs esclaves 360 et 380. La fermeture commence quasi-simultanément pour tous les battants des installations 303 et 304. Les actionneurs 350 et 370 ferment les battants couverts jusqu'en position fermée, tandis que les actionneurs 360 et 380 ferment les battants couvrants seulement jusqu'en position intermédiaire, en bordure de la zone d'interférences potentielles. Lorsque l'actionneur 350 a amené le battant couvert qui lui est associé en position fermée, cet actionneur 350 transmet une consigne de fermeture complète à l'actionneur 360. Lorsque l'actionneur 370 a amené le battant couvert qui lui est associé en position fermée, cet actionneur 370 transmet une consigne de fermeture complète à l'actionneur 380.When the systems 331 and 332 are synchronized, during a closing operation of the leaves, the remote control 340 transmits a closing command signal C341 to the actuators 350, 360, 370 and 380, as shown in FIG. figure 8 . In practice, this setpoint signal C341 emitted by the remote control 340 is interpreted differently, on the one hand, by the master actuators 350 and 370 and on the other hand by the slave actuators 360 and 380. The closure essentially begins. simultaneously for all the flaps of the installations 303 and 304. The actuators 350 and 370 close the covered flaps to the closed position, while the actuators 360 and 380 close the covering flaps only to the intermediate position, at the edge of the zone d potential interference. When the actuator 350 has brought the covered leaf which is associated with it in the closed position, this actuator 350 transmits a complete closing instruction to the actuator 360. When the actuator 370 has brought the covered wing which is associated in the closed position, this actuator 370 transmits a complete closure instruction to the actuator 380.

Selon une variante non préférentielle, l'ensemble 300 peut être configuré pour que les actionneurs maîtres 350 et 370 transmettent les consignes de fermeture complète des battants couvrants seulement lorsque tous les battants couverts de l'ensemble 300 sont fermés, comme expliqué ci-dessus pour l'ensemble 200.According to a non-preferred variant, the assembly 300 can be configured so that the master actuators 350 and 370 transmit the complete closing instructions for the covering wings only when all the covered leaves of the assembly 300 are closed, as explained above for the set 200.

Quel que soit le mode de réalisation, d'autres variantes peuvent être mises en oeuvre sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Whatever the embodiment, other variants can be implemented without departing from the scope of the invention.

Selon une autre variante non représentée, l'ensemble domotique 200 ou 300 peut comprend un nombre d'installations d'ouvrant supérieur à deux, pilotées par un même dispositif de commande selon un protocole unidirectionnel. En outre, les installations d'ouvrant peuvent être d'un même type ou de types différents.According to another variant not shown, the home automation system 200 or 300 may comprise a number of opening installations greater than two, controlled by the same control device according to a unidirectional protocol. In addition, the opening installations can be of the same type or of different types.

Selon une autre variante non représentée, l'ensemble domotique 200 ou 300 peut comprendre un dispositif de commande spécifique pour certains ou pour tous les systèmes d'ouverture et de fermeture des battants. Cette variante est bien adaptée lorsque les installations sont de différents types et/ou réparties dans différentes pièces ou sur différents étages d'un bâtiment.According to another variant not shown, the home automation system 200 or 300 may include a specific control device for some or all of the opening and closing systems of the leaves. This variant is well suited when the installations are of different types and / or distributed in different rooms or on different floors of a building.

De préférence, un même bâtiment ou un même site industriel est équipé d'un unique ensemble domotique 200 ou 300.Preferably, the same building or the same industrial site is equipped with a single home automation system 200 or 300.

En alternative, un même bâtiment ou un même site industriel peut être équipé de plusieurs ensembles domotiques 200 et/ou 300.Alternatively, the same building or the same industrial site can be equipped with several home automation sets 200 and / or 300.
