Description

La présente invention concerne une installation de fermeture ou de protection solaire. L'invention se rapporte également à un procédé de mise en oeuvre d'une telle installation de fermeture ou de protection solaire.The present invention relates to a closure or sun protection system. The invention also relates to a method of implementing such a closure or sun protection system.

Le domaine de l'invention est celui des installations de type volets roulants à lames orientables, destinées à équiper un ouvrant de bâtiment tel qu'une porte ou une fenêtre agencée dans un mur ou un toit.The field of the invention is that of the type of shutters with adjustable slats, intended to equip a building door such as a door or a window arranged in a wall or a roof.

De manière classique, un volet roulant comporte un tablier enroulé autour d'un arbre d'enroulement qui se déroule entre deux coulisses afin de masquer une fenêtre. En pratique, une action manuelle ou électrique permet de manoeuvrer le volet roulant en descente ou en montée. Des lames orientables ont pour rôle d'empêcher le passage des rayons du soleil tout en laissant rentrer la lumière. Les avantages du volet roulant et des stores vénitiens sont ainsi combinés dans un volet roulant à lames orientables.Conventionally, a roller shutter comprises an apron wrapped around a winding shaft that takes place between two slides to hide a window. In practice, a manual or electrical action can operate the roller shutter downhill or uphill. Orientable blades have the role of preventing the passage of sunlight while allowing light to enter. The advantages of the shutter and the venetian blinds are thus combined in a rolling shutter with adjustable blades.

Dans ce cas du volet à lames orientables, un mécanisme spécifique est généralement prévu pour incliner les lames par rapport au plan du tablier.In this case of the blade with adjustable blades, a specific mechanism is generally provided for inclining the blades relative to the plane of the deck.

Il est ainsi connu du document EP-A-0 141 805 un volet roulant à lames orientables comprenant une chaîne mobile en translation dans une coulisse. Chaque lame constitutive du tablier de volet est solidaire d'une tige qui coopère avec la chaîne par le biais de profils filetés complémentaires. A l'intérieur de la coulisse, un rail coopérant avec la chaîne peut être déplacé en translation par un actionneur auxiliaire, dans une direction parallèle au tablier et perpendiculaire à la direction de montée et de descente de la chaîne. Le déplacement du rail entraîne un déplacement de la chaîne et donc une rotation de chaque tige du fait de la coopération des profils filetés complémentaires. Ainsi, le déplacement du rail provoque l'inclinaison des lames de volets solidaires des tiges.It is thus known from the document EP-A-0 141 805 a roller shutter with adjustable blades comprising a chain movable in translation in a slide. Each blade constituting the shutter apron is secured to a rod which cooperates with the chain through complementary threaded profiles. Inside the slide, a rail cooperating with the chain can be moved in translation by an auxiliary actuator, in a direction parallel to the deck and perpendicular to the direction of rise and fall of the chain. The displacement of the rail causes a movement of the chain and therefore a rotation of each rod due to the cooperation of complementary threaded profiles. Thus, the movement of the rail causes the inclination of the shutter blades secured to the rods.

En outre, il est également connu du brevet EP-B-0687793 d'entraîner les lames en pivotement par un guide de pivotement lorsque celui-ci tourne sur lui-même, chaque guide de pivotement étant placé du même côté du tablier. Une paire de tringles relient des saillies des guides de pivotement et mobiles en translation selon un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivotement. Les saillies et la paire de tringles coopèrent pour faire tourner les guides de pivotement sur eux-mêmes.In addition, it is also known from the patent EP-B-0687793 to cause the blades to pivot by a pivoting guide when it rotates on itself, each pivoting guide being placed on the same side of the deck. A pair of rods connect projections of the pivoting guides and movable in translation along an axis perpendicular to the pivot axis. The projections and the pair of rods cooperate to rotate the pivot guides on themselves.

Toutefois, de tels systèmes présentent des inconvénients. Notamment, les efforts mécaniques transmis entre les différentes pièces peuvent entraîner une usure rapide de ces pièces. En outre, de tels volets roulants impliquent un premier actionneur pour déplacer le tablier et un deuxième et troisième actionneur pour déplacer le rail dans chaque coulisse, ce qui est coûteux et encombrant.However, such systems have disadvantages. In particular, the mechanical forces transmitted between the various parts can cause rapid wear of these parts. In addition, such shutters involve a first actuator to move the deck and a second and third actuator to move the rail in each slide, which is expensive and bulky.

Il existe donc un besoin pour une installation de fermeture ou de protection solaire comportant des lames orientables améliorée, permettant notamment d'orienter les lames tout en étant simple, économique et peu encombrante.There is therefore a need for a closure or sunscreen installation comprising improved steerable blades, in particular to guide the blades while being simple, economical and space-saving.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une installation de fermeture ou de protection solaire, notamment de type volet roulant comprenant un tablier de volet roulant comportant plusieurs lames de volet, chaque lame de volet ayant deux bords et étant susceptible de pivoter autour d'un axe de pivotement s'étendant latéralement à partir d'un bord de la lame de volet vers le bord opposé de la lame de volet, chaque lame étant entraînée en pivotement par un guide de pivotement lorsque celui-ci tourne sur lui-même, chaque guide de pivotement étant placé du même côté du tablier, une paire de tringles reliant des saillies des guides de pivotement et mobiles en translation selon un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivotement, les saillies et la paire de tringles coopérant pour faire tourner les guides de pivotement sur eux-mêmes, un arbre d'enroulement du tablier dont la rotation est adaptée à faire monter ou descendre le tablier entre une position haute dans laquelle le tablier est enroulé autour de l'arbre et une position basse dans laquelle le tablier est déroulé, et un flasque placé du même côté du tablier que les guides de pivotement, servant à positionner l'arbre latéralement. Le flasque comporte un chemin dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'arbre. L'installation comporte, en outre un organe d'indication d'absence de lames comprenant une première partie fixée sur l'arbre et une deuxième partie sollicitée élastiquement pour s'éloigner de l'arbre, la deuxième partie étant plaquée contre l'arbre par des lames tant que le tablier n'est pas dans la position basse, la deuxième partie comportant un ergot à une extrémité, l'ergot étant adapté pour suivre le chemin lorsque l'arbre est entraîné en rotation au-delà de la position basse du tablier, un disque d'axe concentrique à l'arbre d'enroulement, le disque étant entraîné en rotation par l'ergot lorsque l'ergot suit le chemin, et des moyens de conversion du mouvement de rotation du disque en un mouvement de translation permettant l'entraînement en translation des deux tringles par le disque lorsque le disque est en mouvement.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a closure or sun protection system, in particular of the shutter type, comprising a rolling shutter apron comprising a plurality of shutter blades, each shutter blade having two edges and being capable of pivoting around a shutter. a pivot axis extending laterally from one edge of the shutter blade to the opposite edge of the shutter blade, each blade being pivotally driven by a pivoting guide when the latter rotates on itself , each pivoting guide being placed on the same side of the deck, a pair of rods connecting projections of the pivoting guides and movable in translation along an axis perpendicular to the pivot axis, the projections and the pair of rods co-operating to rotate the pivoting guides on themselves, a winding shaft of the deck whose rotation is adapted to raise or lower the deck between a high position in which the deck is wrapped around the shaft and a low position in which the apron is unwound, and a flange placed on the same side of the deck as the pivoting guides, for positioning the shaft laterally. The flange has a path in a plane perpendicular to the shaft. The installation further comprises an absence of blades indicating member comprising a first part fixed on the shaft and a second part resiliently urged to move away from the shaft, the second part being pressed against the shaft. by blades as the deck is not in the low position, the second part having a lug at one end, the lug being adapted to follow the path when the shaft is rotated beyond the low position of the apron, a disk concentric axis to the winding shaft, the disk being rotated by the lug when the lug follows the path, and means for converting the rotational movement of the disk into a movement of translation allowing translation drive of the two rods by the disk when the disk is in motion.

Ainsi, l'installation n'implique pas d'actionneurs supplémentaires pour orienter les lames, en plus de l'actionneur utilisé pour monter et descendre le tablier. L'installation proposée n'exige, en outre, aucune électronique de commande et de synchronisation des mouvements. La commande de mise en orientation des lames est simplement enclenchée par la rotation complémentaire de l'arbre une fois arrivé dans la position basse du tablier. Ce système peut être commandé soit par un moteur électrique d'entraînement de l'arbre d'enroulement, soit par un treuil classique de volet roulant relié à une manivelle.Thus, the installation does not involve additional actuators to orient the blades, in addition to the actuator used to raise and lower the deck. The proposed installation does not require any electronic control and synchronization of movements. The control of orientation of the blades is simply engaged by the complementary rotation of the shaft once arrived in the low position of the deck. This system can be controlled either by an electric drive motor of the winding shaft, or by a conventional roller shutter winch connected to a crank.

Sur la figure 1, une installation 20, conforme à l'invention, de fermeture ou de protection solaire est représentée. Cette installation est destinée à équiper une ouverture pratiquée dans un bâtiment, comme une fenêtre ou une porte. Par commodité, ni la fenêtre ou porte, ni le bâtiment ne sont représentés dans la figure 1.On the figure 1 , an installation 20, according to the invention, closure or sun protection is shown. This installation is intended to equip an opening practiced in a building, such as a window or door. For convenience, neither the window or door nor the building are represented in the figure 1 .

En outre, selon l'exemple présenté, l'installation 20 est un volet roulant à lames orientables. L'installation 20 est donc destinée à isoler un espace intérieur par rapport à un espace extérieur.In addition, according to the example shown, the installation 20 is a rolling shutter with steerable blades. The installation 20 is therefore intended to isolate an interior space with respect to an outside space.

Dans la suite, pour faciliter le repérage des différentes parties de l'installation 20 dans l'espace, il est défini un côté intérieur 22 tourné vers l'intérieur du bâtiment dont l'installation 20 permet d'obturer une ouverture, un côté extérieur 24 tourné vers l'extérieur du bâtiment et donc à l'opposé du côté intérieur 22, un côté gauche 26, un côté droit 28, un côté supérieur 30 et un côté inférieur 32 de l'installation 20 lorsque celle-ci est regardée depuis l'extérieur vers l'intérieur.In the following, to facilitate the identification of the different parts of the installation 20 in space, it is defined an inner side 22 facing the interior of the building whose installation 20 allows to seal an opening, an outer side 24 facing the outside of the building and therefore opposite the inner side 22, a left side 26, a right side 28, an upper side 30 and a lower side 32 of the installation 20 when the latter is viewed from outside inwards.

Comme illustré dans la figure 1, l'installation 20 comporte deux coulisses, une coulisse gauche 34 du côté gauche 26 et une coulisse droite 36 du côté droit 28.As illustrated in figure 1 , the installation 20 comprises two slides, a left slide 34 on the left side 26 and a right slide 36 on the right side 28.

La coulisse gauche 34 s'étend suivant une direction verticale parallèle à un axe vertical X depuis une extrémité supérieure 38 vers une extrémité inférieure 40. L'extrémité inférieure 40 correspond usuellement au bord inférieur de l'ouverture. La coulisse gauche 34 comporte également une rainure 42 dans la direction verticale. La coulisse gauche 34 est ainsi un profilé s'étendant verticalement et dont la section transversale est sensiblement en forme de U.The left slide 34 extends in a vertical direction parallel to a vertical axis X from an upper end 38 to a lower end 40. The lower end 40 usually corresponds to the lower edge of the opening. The left slide 34 also has a groove 42 in the vertical direction. The left slide 34 is thus a profile extending vertically and whose cross section is substantially U-shaped.

La coulisse droite 36 est le pendant de la coulisse 34 pour le côté droit 28. Ainsi, la coulisse droite 36 s'étend suivant une direction verticale également parallèle à l'axe vertical X depuis une extrémité supérieure 44 vers une extrémité inférieure 46. La coulisse droite 36 comporte, en outre, une rainure 48 dans la direction verticale qui est tournée face à la rainure 42 de la coulisse gauche 34. Les deux coulisses 34, 36 sont ainsi en vis-à-vis.The right slide 36 is the pendant of the slide 34 for the right side 28. Thus, the straight slide 36 extends in a vertical direction also parallel to the vertical axis X from an upper end 44 to a lower end 46. right slide 36 further comprises a groove 48 in the vertical direction which faces the groove 42 of the left slide 34. The two slides 34, 36 are thus vis-à-vis.

L'installation 20 comprend, en outre, un caisson 50. Le caisson 50 est une structure généralement parallélépipédique limitée notamment par une paroi supérieure, une paroi inférieure, une paroi intérieure et une paroi extérieure. Le caisson 50 est disposé transversalement au côté supérieur 30, sur lequel aboutent les extrémités supérieures 38, 44 des coulisses gauche 34 et droite 36.The installation 20 further comprises a box 50. The box 50 is a generally parallelepipedal structure limited in particular by an upper wall, a lower wall, an inner wall and an outer wall. The box 50 is arranged transversely to the upper side 30, on which abut the upper ends 38, 44 of the left 34 and right 36 slides.

Le caisson 50 et les coulisses 34, 36 forment ainsi le cadre rigide de l'installation 20. Le cadre rigide est destiné à être fixé au bâtiment, contre et/ou sur le cadre d'une ouverture non représentée.The casing 50 and the slides 34, 36 thus form the rigid frame of the installation 20. The rigid frame is intended to be fixed to the building, against and / or on the frame of an opening not shown.

Les extrémités inférieures 40, 46 des coulisses 34, 36 sont reliées par une traverse 51 horizontale, le cadre étant formé par l'ensemble des coulisses 34, 36, du caisson 50 et de la traverse 51. Cette traverse 51 est optionnelle.The lower ends 40, 46 of the slides 34, 36 are connected by a cross member 51 horizontal, the frame being formed by all of the slides 34, 36, the box 50 and the cross 51. This cross member 51 is optional.

Dans le caisson 50 est logé un arbre 52 d'enroulement monté en rotation. L'arbre 52 est parfois dénommé « tube d'enroulement ». Le caisson 50 comporte également un moteur électrique 54 d'entraînement de cet arbre 52 en rotation autour d'un axe Y, l'axe Y étant perpendiculaire à l'axe X. La rotation s'effectue soit dans le sens horaire R1, soit dans le sens anti-horaire opposé R2.In the housing 50 is housed a winding shaft 52 mounted in rotation. The shaft 52 is sometimes referred to as "winding tube". The casing 50 also comprises an electric motor 54 for driving this shaft 52 in rotation around a Y axis, the Y axis being perpendicular to the X axis. The rotation is effected either in the clockwise direction R 1 or in counterclockwise opposite direction R2.

Selon l'exemple de la figure 1, le moteur 54 a la forme d'un disque concentrique avec l'arbre 52. Son diamètre est plus grand que le diamètre de l'arbre 52. En outre, le moteur 54 est placé du côté droit de l'arbre 52.According to the example of the figure 1 , the motor 54 has the shape of a disc concentric with the shaft 52. Its diameter is larger than the diameter of the shaft 52. In addition, the motor 54 is placed on the right side of the shaft 52.

De manière alternative, lors de l'utilisation de l'installation 20, l'utilisateur commande manuellement des moyens d'entraînement, tels qu'un treuil à manivelle ou un treuil à sangle, pour entraîner en rotation l'arbre 52 d'enroulement.Alternatively, when using the installation 20, the user manually controls drive means, such as a crank winch or a belt winch, to rotate the winding shaft 52. .

L'installation 20, sans le moteur 54 et ses organes de liaison à l'arbre 52 d'enroulement, est symétrique par rapport à un plan médian P1 incluant l'axe X et perpendiculaire à l'axe Y.The installation 20, without the motor 54 and its connecting members to the winding shaft 52, is symmetrical with respect to a median plane P1 including the axis X and perpendicular to the axis Y.

Le caisson 50 comprend, dans sa paroi inférieure, une fente longitudinale de passage délimitée par deux lèvres. C'est dans cette fente longitudinale que passe un tablier 56 de volet roulant constitué de plusieurs lames 58 allongées et articulées entre elles. Les lames 58 d'un tablier 56 de volet roulant sont généralement en aluminium ou en polychlorure de vinyle (PVC).The box 50 comprises, in its lower wall, a longitudinal slot passage defined by two lips. It is in this longitudinal slot that passes an apron 56 roller shutter consisting of several blades 58 elongate and articulated together. The blades 58 of a deck 56 shutter are generally made of aluminum or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Le tablier 56 s'étend entre une première lame 58A, reliée à l'arbre 52 par des sangles ou lamelles déformables, et une dernière lame 58B formant généralement le bord inférieur libre du tablier 56.The apron 56 extends between a first blade 58A, connected to the shaft 52 by deformable straps or lamellae, and a last blade 58B generally forming the free lower edge of the apron 56.

En fonctionnement de l'installation 20, le tablier 56 s'enroule et se déroule autour de l'arbre 52 tout en se translatant dans un plan P2 passant par les rainures 42, 48 des coulisses 34, 36. Le plan P2 est perpendiculaire au plan médian P1 et parallèle à l'axe Y.In operation of the installation 20, the apron 56 winds around and unrolls around the shaft 52 while translating into a plane P2 passing through the grooves 42, 48 of the slides 34, 36. The plane P2 is perpendicular to the median plane P1 and parallel to the Y axis.

Il est ainsi défini, pour le tablier 56, une position haute PH dans laquelle le tablier 56 est entièrement enroulé autour de l'arbre 52. Dans cette position, la dernière lame 58B du tablier 56 est au voisinage de la fente longitudinale de passage.It is thus defined, for the deck 56, a high position PH in which the deck 56 is fully wound around the shaft 52. In this position, the last plate 58B of the deck 56 is in the vicinity of the longitudinal slot passage.

Il est également défini une position basse PB dans laquelle le tablier 56 est déroulé. Dans cette position basse PB, le tablier 56 est complètement déployé et occupe intégralement l'espace entre les coulisses 34, 36 et aucune des lames 58 n'est enroulée autour de l'arbre 52. Dans cette position déployée, le tablier 56 obture l'ouverture depuis le côté supérieur 30 jusqu'au côté inférieur 32. Ainsi, la dernière lame 58B du tablier 56 est à l'opposé du caisson 50 et vient en appui contre la traverse 51 horizontale.It is also defined a low position PB in which the deck 56 is unwound. In this low position PB, the apron 56 is fully deployed and occupies the entire space between the slides 34, 36 and none of the blades 58 is wound around the shaft 52. In this deployed position, the deck 56 closes the door. opening from the upper side 30 to the lower side 32. Thus, the last blade 58B of the deck 56 is opposite the housing 50 and abuts against the cross 51 horizontal.

Entre ces deux positions extrêmes PH, PB, le tablier 56 est dans une position intermédiaire PI telle qu'illustrée dans l'exemple de la figure 1. Dans une telle position, l'espace entre les coulisses 34, 36 est partiellement occupé par le tablier 56 et une partie des lames 58 est enroulée autour de l'arbre 52.Between these two extreme positions PH, PB, the deck 56 is in an intermediate position PI as illustrated in the example of FIG. figure 1 . In such a position, the space between the slides 34, 36 is partially occupied by the apron 56 and a portion of the blades 58 is wound around the shaft 52.

Autrement dit, en fonctionnement de l'installation 20, le tablier 56, d'une part, se déroule autour de l'arbre 52 d'enroulement et, d'autre part, se translate dans le plan P2 qui s'étend entre les coulisses 34, 36 passant successivement de multiples positions intermédiaires PI à la position basse PB.In other words, in operation of the installation 20, the apron 56, on the one hand, unrolls around the winding shaft 52 and, on the other hand, is translated into the plane P2 which extends between the slides 34, 36 successively passing multiple intermediate positions PI to the low position PB.

En outre, il apparaît que, durant cette opération de fermeture, les coulisses 34 et 36 guident latéralement les lames 58.In addition, it appears that, during this closing operation, the slides 34 and 36 laterally guide the blades 58.

Les lames 58 présentent chacune un bord gauche 60, du côté gauche 26, et un bord droit 62, du côté droit 28. Les bords 60, 62 viennent s'insérer respectivement dans la coulisse gauche 34 et la coulisse droite 36. En outre, les lames 58 présentent une face avant orientée vers le côté extérieur 24 à l'opposée du côté intérieur 22.The blades 58 each have a left edge 60, on the left side 26, and a straight edge 62, on the right side 28. The edges 60, 62 are respectively inserted into the left slide 34 and the right slide 36. In addition, the blades 58 have a front face facing the outer side 24 opposite the inner side 22.

L'ensemble des lames 58 est orientable. Cela signifie que chaque lame 58 est susceptible de pivoter autour d'un axe pivotement Y58 qui s'étend latéralement à partir du bord gauche 60 vers le bord droit 62. Chaque axe de pivotement Y58 est parallèle à l'axe Y et situé dans le plan P2.The set of blades 58 is steerable. That is, each blade 58 is pivotable about a pivot axis Y58 that extends laterally from the left edge 60 to the right edge 62. Each pivot axis Y58 is parallel to the Y axis and located in the P2 plan.

Ainsi, dans une première position, chaque lame 58 est verticale. Dans cette position, les lames 58 sont parallèles au plan P2, ce qui empêche le passage des rayons du soleil au travers de l'ouverture. Les lames 58 sont dans cette position dans les figures 4 à 11.Thus, in a first position, each blade 58 is vertical. In this position, the blades 58 are parallel to the plane P2, which prevents the passage of sunlight through the opening. The blades 58 are in this position in the Figures 4 to 11 .

Dans plusieurs deuxièmes positions, chaque lame 58 fait un angle avec la direction verticale et laisse passer la lumière. C'est notamment le cas dans les figures 12 à 15.In several second positions, each blade 58 is at an angle to the vertical direction and passes light. This is particularly the case in Figures 12 to 15 .

Chaque lame 58 est entraînée en pivotement par un guide de pivotement. Dans un souci de simplification, les guides de pivotement et leur système d'entraînement vont être détaillés du côté droit, étant entendu que le côté gauche est symétrique et comporte également des guides de pivotement et un système d'entraînement. Selon une autre variante, il est possible que seul un côté de l'installation 20 soit équipé de guide de pivotement. Selon encore une autre variante, les guides de pivotement peuvent être placés en alternance, un du côté gauche 26, un du côté droit 38.Each blade 58 is pivotally driven by a pivoting guide. For the sake of simplicity, the pivot guides and their drive system will be detailed on the right side, it being understood that the left side is symmetrical and also includes pivoting guides and a drive system. According to another variant, it is possible that only one side of the installation 20 is equipped with a pivoting guide. According to another variant, the pivoting guides can be placed alternately, one on the left side 26, one on the right side 38.

La figure 2 présente une vue en perspective éclatée de la coulisse droite 36 permettant d'illustrer le fonctionnement du système d'entraînement. La coulisse droite 36 comporte un rail 64. Ce rail 64 est pourvu d'ouvertures 66 dans lesquelles viennent se loger des guides 68 de pivotement. Par souci de simplification, les chaînes latérales d'entretoisement des lames 58 ne sont pas représentées.The figure 2 shows an exploded perspective view of the right slide 36 to illustrate the operation of the drive system. The right slide 36 comprises a rail 64. This rail 64 is provided with openings 66 in which are housed guides 68 pivoting. For the sake of simplicity, the side chains bracing blades 58 are not shown.

Comme visible à la figure 2, chaque guide de pivotement 68 comporte une partie 70 de pivotement et un support 72. La partie 70 de pivotement et le support 72 sont adaptés pour s'emboîter l'un dans l'autre à travers une ouverture 66 du rail 64. Cela permet un assemblage aisé des guides 68 dans le rail 64.As visible at figure 2 each pivoting guide 68 comprises a pivoting portion 70 and a support 72. The pivoting portion 70 and the support 72 are adapted to fit into each other through an opening 66 of the rail 64. easy assembly of the guides 68 in the rail 64.

La partie 70 comporte des moyens de pincement 74 adaptés pour supporter une lame 58 et à la faire pivoter autour de son axe de pivotement Y58. Dans le cas de la figure 2, ces moyens de pincement 74 se présentent sous la forme d'une lèvre inférieure 76 et d'une lèvre supérieure 78.The portion 70 includes pinching means 74 adapted to support a blade 58 and to rotate about its pivot axis Y58. In the case of figure 2 these clamping means 74 are in the form of a lower lip 76 and an upper lip 78.

Le support 72 a la forme générale d'un disque. Le support 72 comporte deux faces 80, 82, la face 80 étant orientée vers la partie 70. Cette face 80 comporte une attache 84 servant à fixer la partie 70. La face 82 comporte des saillies 86.The support 72 has the general shape of a disc. The support 72 has two faces 80, 82, the face 80 being directed towards the portion 70. This face 80 comprises a fastener 84 serving to fix the portion 70. The face 82 has projections 86.

Les saillies 86 des différents guides 68 sont reliées entre elles par deux tringles 88. Les tringles 88 ont la forme de barre plate comportant des trous 89 régulièrement espacés. Les saillies 86 des guides 68 viennent s'insérer dans les trous 89 des tringles 88.The projections 86 of the various guides 68 are interconnected by two rods 88. The rods 88 have the shape of a flat bar having regularly spaced holes 89. The projections 86 of the guides 68 are inserted into the holes 89 of the rods 88.

La paire de tringles 88 reliant les saillies 86 des supports 72 sont mobiles en translation selon un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivotement Y58.The pair of rods 88 connecting the projections 86 of the supports 72 are movable in translation along an axis perpendicular to the pivot axis Y58.

Les saillies 86 et la paire de tringles 88 coopèrent pour faire tourner les guides 68 de pivotement sur eux-mêmes.The projections 86 and the pair of rods 88 cooperate to rotate the pivot guides 68 on themselves.

Ainsi, comme visible à la figure 2, les saillies 86 sont placées en périphérie du support 72 et diamétralement opposées. De ce fait, un mouvement en translation des tringles 88 se transforme en mouvement de rotation des supports 72. Lorsque les parties 70 et les supports 72 sont solidaires, cela entraîne la rotation des parties 70 sur elles-mêmes, qui entraîne à son tour en pivotement les lames 58 autour de leurs axes Y58.So, as visible at the figure 2 , the projections 86 are placed at the periphery of the support 72 and diametrically opposite. As a result, a movement in translation of the rods 88 is transformed into a rotational movement of the supports 72. When the parts 70 and the supports 72 are integral, this causes the parts 70 to rotate on themselves, which in turn causes the pivoting the blades 58 about their axes Y58.

De ce fait, les deux tringles 88 attelées à chaque guide de pivotement 68 des lames 58 assurent une rotation synchronisée de toutes les lames 58 du tablier 56.Therefore, the two rods 88 coupled to each pivoting guide 68 of the blades 58 provide a synchronized rotation of all the blades 58 of the deck 56.

Le caisson 50 est fermé par deux joues d'extrémités visibles sur les figures 1 et 9. Ces joues comportent un téton central sur lequel l'arbre 52 est monté à rotation. Le caisson 50 comporte deux flasques 90 de part et d'autre de l'arbre 52 permettant de positionner et de maintenir l'arbre 52 latéralement. Les deux flasques 90 sont en regard et referment généralement le caisson 50 à chacune de ses extrémités.The box 50 is closed by two end cheeks visible on the figures 1 and 9 . These cheeks comprise a central pin on which the shaft 52 is rotatably mounted. The box 50 has two flanges 90 on either side of the shaft 52 for positioning and maintaining the shaft 52 laterally. The two flanges 90 are facing and generally close the box 50 at each of its ends.

Chaque flasque 90 est une pièce latérale comportant un trou 91 circulaire de diamètre supérieur à celui de l'arbre 52. Le positionnement de l'arbre 52 se fait en centrant l'arbre 52 par rapport au trou 91.Each flange 90 is a lateral piece having a circular hole 91 of greater diameter than that of the shaft 52. The positioning of the shaft 52 is done by centering the shaft 52 relative to the hole 91.

Le flasque 90 comporte en outre un chemin 92 comportant un conduit d'entrée 93 menant à une partie en arc de cercle. Le chemin 92 a la forme d'une rainure. Le conduit d'entrée 93 débouche dans le trou 91. Le chemin 92 est ménagé dans un plan parallèle au plan P1.The flange 90 further comprises a path 92 having an inlet duct 93 leading to a portion in an arc. The path 92 has the shape of a groove. The conduit The inlet 92 opens into the hole 91. The path 92 is formed in a plane parallel to the plane P1.

L'installation 20 comporte aussi un organe 94 d'indication d'absence de lames 58 enroulées autour de l'arbre 52. L'organe 94 est, selon l'exemple de la figure 3, une palette. Cet organe 94 comprend une première partie 96 fixée sur l'arbre 52 et une deuxième partie 98 sollicitée élastiquement pour éloigner l'organe 94 de l'arbre 52. Cette sollicitation élastique est par exemple obtenue à l'aide d'un ressort fixé à l'extrémité de la deuxième partie 98. Le ressort n'est pas représenté sur les figures.The installation 20 also comprises a member 94 for indicating the absence of blades 58 wound around the shaft 52. The member 94 is, according to the example of FIG. figure 3 , a pallet. This member 94 comprises a first portion 96 fixed to the shaft 52 and a second portion 98 resiliently urged to move the member 94 away from the shaft 52. This elastic biasing is for example obtained by means of a spring fixed to the end of the second portion 98. The spring is not shown in the figures.

Comme visible notamment dans la figure 3, la première partie 96 et la deuxième partie 98 sont articulées entre elles via un axe commun 99.As visible especially in the figure 3 the first portion 96 and the second portion 98 are hinged together via a common axis 99.

Dans les positions intermédiaires PI et haute PH, le tablier 56 est partiellement enroulé autour de l'arbre 52 d'enroulement, la partie 98 est plaquée contre l'arbre 52 et le ressort est alors comprimé. L'organe 94 tourne sur un cercle périphérique autour de l'arbre 52. C'est la situation de la figure 3.In intermediate positions PI and high PH, the apron 56 is partially wound around the winding shaft 52, the portion 98 is pressed against the shaft 52 and the spring is then compressed. The member 94 rotates on a peripheral circle around the shaft 52. This is the situation of the figure 3 .

Dans la position basse PB, le tablier 56 est complètement descendu. Comme la partie 98 de l'organe 94 fixé sur l'arbre 52 n'a plus de lames 58 pour comprimer le ressort et maintenir la partie 98 plaquée contre l'arbre 52, le ressort fait se décoller la deuxième partie 98 de l'arbre 52. Cela apparaît notamment aux figures 4 et 5.In the low position PB, the apron 56 is completely lowered. As the portion 98 of the member 94 fixed to the shaft 52 no longer has blades 58 to compress the spring and keep the portion 98 pressed against the shaft 52, the spring causes the second part 98 of the 52. This appears in particular figures 4 and 5 .

La deuxième partie 98 comporte un ergot 100 à son extrémité opposée à la partie 96. L'ergot 100 est de forme sensiblement cylindrique et s'étend en saillie perpendiculairement à une des surfaces de la deuxième partie 98, suivant un axe Y100 parallèle à l'axe Y. L'ergot 100 s'étend au-delà du flasque 90, ainsi que cela apparaît à la figure 6. L'ergot 100 vient au contact des pourtours du trou 91 pratiqué dans le flasque 90, dans la position basse PB.The second portion 98 has a lug 100 at its end opposite to the portion 96. The lug 100 is substantially cylindrical in shape and protrudes perpendicularly to one of the surfaces of the second portion 98, along an axis Y100 parallel to the Y axis. The lug 100 extends beyond the flange 90, as it appears in FIG. figure 6 . The lug 100 comes into contact with the periphery of the hole 91 made in the flange 90, in the low position PB.

Cet ergot 100 est adapté pour suivre le chemin 92 sur sollicitation de l'arbre 52 lorsque l'arbre 52 est entraîné en rotation au-delà de la position basse PB du tablier 56. En effet, l'ergot 100 suit les pourtours du trou 91 et lorsqu'il rencontre le conduit d'entrée 93, il s'insère dedans par sollicitation élastique du ressort.This lug 100 is adapted to follow the path 92 on biasing the shaft 52 when the shaft 52 is rotated beyond the lower position PB of the deck 56. Indeed, the lug 100 follows the periphery of the hole 91 and when it meets the inlet duct 93, it fits into it by resilient biasing of the spring.

L'installation 20 comporte également un disque 102 d'axe concentrique à l'arbre 52 d'enroulement, le disque 102 étant placé derrière le flasque 90. Il est notamment visible sur la figure 8. Le disque 102 est entraîné en rotation par l'ergot 100 lorsque l'ergot 100 suit le chemin 92. La comparaison des figures 4 et 7 d'une part et des figures 5 et 8 d'autre part montre, en effet, que lorsque l'ergot 100 suit le chemin 92, le disque 102 tourne dans le sens de la flèche R.The installation 20 also comprises a disk 102 of axis concentric with the winding shaft 52, the disk 102 being placed behind the flange 90. It is notably visible on the figure 8 . The disc 102 is rotated by the lug 100 when the lug 100 follows the path 92. figures 4 and 7 on the one hand and figures 5 and 8 on the other hand, shows that when the lug 100 follows the path 92, the disk 102 rotates in the direction of the arrow R.

Le disque 102 tourne sur le flasque 90 guidé par trois paliers 104 glissants dans les lumières 106 du flasque 90. Les lumières 106 ont la forme de trois arcs de cercles.The disc 102 rotates on the flange 90 guided by three sliding bearings 104 in the slots 106 of the flange 90. The lights 106 have the shape of three arcs of circles.

L'installation 20 comporte également des moyens 108 de conversion du mouvement de rotation du disque 102 en un mouvement de translation de sorte que le disque 102 entraîne en translation les deux tringles 88 lorsque le disque 102 est en mouvement.The installation 20 also comprises means 108 for converting the rotational movement of the disk 102 into a translational movement so that the disk 102 drives in translation the two rods 88 when the disk 102 is in motion.

Ces moyens de conversion 108 sont plus précisément décrits en référence aux figures 5, 10 et 11. Selon cet exemple, les moyens de conversion 108 comportent un basculeur 110. Ce basculeur 110 est muni à une extrémité d'un doigt 112.These conversion means 108 are more precisely described with reference to the figures 5 , 10 and 11 . According to this example, the conversion means 108 comprise a rocker 110. This rocker 110 is provided at one end with a finger 112.

Le disque 102 comporte une rainure 114. Cette rainure 114 a une forme de développante de cercle. La développante du cercle, aussi appelée anti-clothoïde, est une courbe plane développante, c'est-à-dire que ses normales sont les tangentes du cercle. D'autres formes de rainure 114 sont envisageables pourvu que la rainure 114 s'éloigne du centre du disque 102 sur environ un quart d'un tour de rotation du disque 102. Le doigt 112 du basculeur 110 est positionné dans la rainure 114.The disc 102 has a groove 114. This groove 114 has a form of involute circle. The involute of the circle, also called anti-clothoid, is an involute plane curve, that is to say that its normals are the tangents of the circle. Other forms of groove 114 are conceivable provided that the groove 114 moves away from the center of the disc 102 for about a quarter of a rotation of the disc 102. The finger 112 of the rocker 110 is positioned in the groove 114.

La rotation du disque 102 fait changer l'incidence d'angulation du basculeur 110 qui pivote sensiblement en son milieu sur un axe 115 fixe qui est relié au flasque 90. Le basculeur 110 a ainsi un mouvement linéaire.The rotation of the disk 102 causes the angulation incidence of the rocker 110 to change which pivots substantially in the middle on a fixed axis 115 which is connected to the flange 90. The rocker 110 thus has a linear movement.

Selon cette variante, les moyens de conversion 108 comportent, en outre, un système 116 de liaison entre le basculeur 110 et une biellette 118 de commande.According to this variant, the conversion means 108 further comprise a linkage system 116 between the rocker 110 and a control rod 118.

La biellette 118 de commande de la paire de tringles 88 impose ainsi un mouvement de translation selon la flèche T à la paire de tringles 88 de commande qu'elle fait descendre à l'opposé de l'arbre 52.The rod 118 for controlling the pair of rods 88 thus imposes a translation movement along the arrow T to the pair of control rods 88 which it sends down opposite the shaft 52.

Dans ce premier mode de réalisation, le système de liaison 116 comprend une crémaillère 120, ce qui rend le système 116 réglable.In this first embodiment, the linkage system 116 includes a rack 120, which makes the system 116 adjustable.

La crémaillère 120 se déplace verticalement par rapport au flasque 90 dans une direction verticale alignée avec les coulisses 34, 36. Cette crémaillère 120 comporte une lumière 122 crantée. Cette lumière 122 a une extension latérale supérieure à la hauteur d'une lame 58.The rack 120 moves vertically relative to the flange 90 in a vertical direction aligned with the slides 34, 36. This rack 120 comprises a notched slot 122. This light 122 has a lateral extension greater than the height of a blade 58.

Dans cette lumière 122 crantée vient se loger un axe 124 comportant un collet 126 muni d'une tête 128. La surface de la tête 128 est de forme circulaire tandis que le collet 126 est de forme carrée. Le collet 126 est positionné et immobilisé dans la crémaillère 120 à une hauteur réglable.In this notched lumen 122 is housed an axis 124 having a collar 126 provided with a head 128. The surface of the head 128 is circular while the collar 126 is square. The collar 126 is positioned and immobilized in the rack 120 at an adjustable height.

Cela permet de positionner le tablier 56 avec un réglage en hauteur. Cela est souhaitable parce que la variation de hauteur de l'ouverture influe sur la hauteur de fabrication du volet roulant à lames orientables. Cette hauteur fait évoluer la longueur des coulisses 34, 36, et le nombre de lames 58 total du volet.This makes it possible to position the apron 56 with a height adjustment. This is desirable because the change in height of the opening affects the manufacturing height of the rolling shutter with adjustable blades. This height changes the length of the slides 34, 36, and the total number of blades 58 of the shutter.

Si la longueur de la coulisse 34, 36 peut être adaptée millimètre par millimètre, il n'en est pas de même pour le tablier 56. Il est composé d'un nombre de lames 58 entier, et ce nombre évolue en fonction de la hauteur suivant un pas égal à une hauteur de lame 58. De ce fait, la première lame 58A pénètre plus ou moins dans le caisson 50 suivant la hauteur de volet fabriqué.If the length of the slide 34, 36 can be adapted millimeter by millimeter, it is not the same for the apron 56. It is composed of a number of blades 58 entire, and this number changes according to the height following a step equal to a blade height 58. As a result, the first blade 58A penetrates more or less into the box 50 according to the flap height manufactured.

Avec le mode de réalisation proposée, le volet est assemblé et le tablier 56 est descendu dans les coulisses 34, 36 dans sa position PB pour les lames 58. Le basculeur 110 et la crémaillère 120 sont positionnés dans la position la plus haute. La biellette 118 de commande est alors assemblée et l'axe 124 à collet 126 carré est mis dans la position du cran le plus proche.With the proposed embodiment, the flap is assembled and the apron 56 is lowered in the slides 34, 36 in its position PB for the blades 58. The rocker 110 and the rack 120 are positioned in the highest position. The control rod 118 is then assembled and the axis 124 with square collar 126 is put in the position of the nearest notch.

En continuant la rotation du disque 102, la translation des tringles 88 se poursuit, et l'orientation des lames 58 passe d'une position verticale jusqu'à une position au-delà de l'horizontale. Cette faculté de piloter l'inclinaison des lames 58, permet de gérer graduellement l'entrée de lumière dans chaque pièce de la maison. Cette rotation du disque 102 et le mouvement associé des lames 58 sont notamment illustrés par les figures 12 à 15.By continuing the rotation of the disk 102, the translation of the rods 88 continues, and the orientation of the blades 58 passes from a vertical position to a position beyond the horizontal. This ability to control the inclination of the blades 58, gradually manages the entry of light in each room of the house. This rotation of the disc 102 and the associated movement of the blades 58 are particularly illustrated by the Figures 12 to 15 .

Les figures 16 à 18 illustrent un deuxième mode de réalisation de la présente invention. Les éléments structurels repérés par les mêmes références numériques que ceux du mode de réalisation illustré par les figures 3 à 15 sont communs et ne sont donc pas décrits à nouveau.The Figures 16 to 18 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention. The structural elements identified by the same reference numerals as those of the embodiment illustrated by the Figures 3 to 15 are common and are not described again.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, le système de liaison 116 comporte une biellette 131 intermédiaire. Le basculeur 110 est relié à la biellette 131 intermédiaire à l'extrémité opposée de l'extrémité comportant le doigt 112.In this embodiment, the linkage system 116 comprises an intermediate rod 131. The rocker 110 is connected to the link 131 intermediate to the opposite end of the end with the finger 112.

De ce fait, le basculeur 110 entraîne en translation la biellette 131 intermédiaire.Therefore, the rocker 110 drives in translation the link 131 intermediate.

La biellette 131 intermédiaire est reliée via un pion 130 à la biellette 118 de commande. Ce pion 130 coulisse dans une lumière verticale 132 du flasque 90 Ainsi, la biellette 131 intermédiaire transmet son mouvement de translation à la biellette 118 de commande. Cette biellette 131 transformant le mouvement de rotation en mouvement de translation, il peut être considéré que la biellette 131 intermédiaire pousse la biellette 118 de commande, ce qui fait descendre la paire de tringles 88 de commande de rotation des guides 68 de pivotement.The link 131 intermediate is connected via a pin 130 to the rod 118 control. This pin 130 slides in a vertical slot 132 of the flange 90 Thus, the link 131 intermediate transmits its translational movement to the rod 118 control. This rod 131 transforming the rotational movement into translational movement, it may be considered that the rod 131 intermediate push rod 118 control, which lowers the pair of rods 88 rotational control guides 68 pivoting.

Ainsi, selon cette invention, les deux moteurs de l'état de la technique situés en haut des coulisses 34, 36 sont remplacés par un mécanisme de biellettes 118, 131 et de basculeur 110 directement commandés par la rotation de l'arbre 52 d'enroulement.Thus, according to this invention, the two engines of the state of the art located at the top of the slides 34, 36 are replaced by a mechanism of rods 118, 131 and rocker 110 directly controlled by the rotation of the shaft 52. winding.
