Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hinge or equivalent equipped with a detection unit.
  • hinge or equivalent is meant any type of hinge, hinge, plug, hinge, etc.
  • DE 10 2010 017007 , DE 10 2005 059538 and US 2006/181108 relate to hinges fitted with a sensor.
  • One embodiment relates to a hinge or equivalent comprising a detection unit configured to measure the opening angle of the hinge as a function of time.
  • the detection unit is an electronic unit configured to measure the angle as a function of time and to provide at least a pair of data respectively representative of time and of a parameter for opening the hinge.
  • the detection unit measures an angle as a function of time, and provides, for example, an all-or-nothing signal representative of the open or closed state (or open / close state) of the hinge in function of time from this measurement of the angle versus time.
  • an all-or-nothing signal supplied from a measurement of the opening angle of the hinge is particularly precise.
  • the detection unit can of course provide for example the opening angle of the hinge as a function of time, or any other parameter that can be derived from the measurement of the opening angle of the hinge and time.
  • the detection unit provides a single parameter, or several parameters, as a function of time.
  • the detection unit comprises for example a clock and a control unit which measures the opening angle of the hinge at a predetermined time frequency, for example every tenths of a second.
  • the hinge or equivalent comprises taring means for taring the detection unit and reset means for resetting the detection unit, the taring means being distinct from the reset means.
  • the calibration means are means for considering a given position as a reference position for measuring the opening angle.
  • the detection unit does not reset the reference position, but considers the position indicated at the time of taring as an artificial reference position for post-processing of the measurements, by applying a correction value to the measurements. For example, if the artificial reference position corresponds to an opening position at an angle of 10 ° relative to the effective reference position, by taring the detection unit to this artificial reference position with the taring means, the detection unit will consider this position as zero opening position (ie measurement at 0 °) by subtracting 10 ° from all the angle values measured subsequently.
  • the reinitialization means are means for returning the detection unit to its initial configuration, that is to say resetting all the parameters to their initial values, in particular at zero for the measurement of the angle.
  • this position will be considered as the effective reference position, that is to say as the origin point of measurement (ie 0 °) of the angles .
  • the combined presence of the calibration means and of the reset means makes it possible at first to be able to configure the hinge in an effective reference position for example during the initial assembly of the hinge or during maintenance operations thanks to the means of reset, and then calibrate the hinge regularly around this effective reference position for example to compensate for wear, thermal expansions, etc. the hinge and the leaf on which it is mounted during its current use. This makes it possible to obtain a reference position for the measurement, in general the closed position, reliable and representative of reality.
  • the taring means can be formed by a button fitted to the hinge or, if the detection unit comprises a wireless transmission system, by a module separate from the hinge, configured to transmit an appropriate signal known to those skilled in the art to the detection unit.
  • the reset means are means for cutting off the power supply to the detection unit, for example in the form of a button or any other means such as a removable power supply (battery, battery, plug removable power supply, etc.).
  • the hinge or equivalent comprises a first knuckle, a second knuckle and a pin fitted into the first knuckle and into the second knuckle, the pin comprising the detection unit, a first part coupled in rotation with the first knuckle and a second part coupled in rotation with the second knuckle, a first portion of the detection unit being coupled in rotation with the first part while a second portion of the detection unit is coupled in rotation with the second part.
  • a knuckle is a hollow portion forming a female part configured to receive the pin, the pin forming a male part.
  • an eyecup or a hollow cylindrical portion forms knuckles.
  • the detection unit comprises a first portion which is coupled in rotation with the first part of the spindle, this first part being coupled in rotation with the first knuckle.
  • the detection unit also comprises a second portion which is coupled in rotation with the second part of the spindle, this second part being coupled in rotation with the second knuckle.
  • the spindle includes an internal housing receiving the detection unit.
  • the detection unit being arranged in the internal housing, inside the spindle, is protected from external aggressions, for example dust, shocks or the like. The reliability of the hinge is thus improved.
  • the detection unit is particularly discreet, which facilitates monitoring and detection of unauthorized opening (s) of the leaf on which the hinge is mounted.
  • this assembly facilitates the integration of the detection unit and the miniaturization of the hinge while making it possible to obtain particularly precise measurements.
  • the detection unit comprises a processing unit and a sensor, the processing unit being configured to receive at least one signal from the sensor, said signal being representative of the opening angle of the hinge.
  • the processing unit receives a signal representative of the opening angle of the hinge from the sensor, and supplies the pair of data respectively representative of time and of an opening parameter of the hinge.
  • Such an integrated detection unit makes it possible to obtain particularly precise data thanks to the internal processing of the signal from the sensor.
  • the detection unit is configured to supply a signal representative of at least one parameter from the hinge opening / closing state as a function of time, the amplitude of the angle of opening of the hinge as a function of time, time (or duration) of opening / closing of the hinge, speed of opening / closing of the hinge, time of opening / closing of the hinge.
  • Such parameters are particularly useful for very precisely monitoring the opening / closing operations of the leaf on which the hinge is mounted.
  • the detection unit includes an integrated power supply.
  • the power supply is a battery or an electric cell.
  • the battery or electric cell is removable and preferably arranged so as to be easily accessible for easy replacement.
  • a device for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy makes it possible to recharge the battery or the electric battery during the opening / closing operations of the hinge.

This also makes it possible, for example, to remotely record the signals emitted by the detection unit or to save possible recordings of said signal by the detection unit, which contributes to the reliability, and therefore to the accuracy of the measurements. in their whole.
  • the hinge or equivalent includes an external electrical connection connected to the detection unit.
  • a connection to the hinge via this electrical connection can be punctual (for example to punctually recover possible signal recordings and / or to recharge the integrated energy supply) or permanent (for example to ensure a wired signal transmission and / or an external power supply).
  • the detection unit comprises a sensor, the sensor comprising a potentiometer.
  • Potentiometers have the advantage of being reliable, inexpensive, precise sensors, particularly well suited for measuring angles, and having a structure suitable for integration within a hinge or equivalent.

  • FIG. 1 An embodiment of an assembly 100 according to the invention, comprising a hinge 10 and a receiving unit 50, is described with reference to figures 1 and 2 .
  • the hinge 10 comprises two articulated wings, namely a first wing 23 and a second wing 24.
  • the first wing 23 comprises two first knuckles 14 while the second wing 24 comprises a single second knuckle 16.
  • the first two knuckles 14 are arranged according to the axial direction X on either side of the second knuckle 16.
  • a pin 18 is fitted into the first knuckles 14 and into the second knuckle 16.

  • the pin 18 also includes two washers 18c intended to reduce the clearance in the axial direction X between the first knuckles 14 and the second knuckle 16.
  • the first part 18a of the spindle 18 has a generally cylindrical shape of axis X and is configured to be fitted only in a single first knuckle 14.
  • the first part 18a is provided with axial ribs 19a which cooperate by complementary shape with grooves axial 19b formed in the internal wall of the first knuckles 14 in which the first part is fitted.
  • the first two knuckles 14 are similar and both have axial grooves 19b.
  • the grooves 19b being formed in the external wall of the first part 18a while the ribs 19a are arranged on the internal wall of the first knuckle 14. Thanks to the ribs and grooves 19a and 19b, the first part 18a is coupled in rotation, about the axis X, with the first knuckle 14 in which the first part 18a is fitted.
  • the second part 18b of the spindle 18 has a generally cylindrical shape of axis X and is configured to fit at least partially in the first two knuckles 14 and in the second knuckle 16.
  • the second part 18b has axial ribs 21a only on its axial portion 18ba fitted into the second knuckle 16. It will be noted that the axial portion 18ba extends over the entire axial length of the second knuckle 16.
  • the second knuckle 16 has on its internal wall axial grooves 21b which cooperate by complementarity shaped with the ribs 21a.
  • the grooves 21a being formed in the external wall of the second part 18b while the ribs 21b are arranged on the internal wall of the second knuckle 16. Thanks to the ribs and grooves 21a and 21b, the second part 18b is coupled, around the axis X, in rotation with the second knuckle 16. The other portions of the second part 18b fitted into the first knuckles 14 obviously have no relief so that the second part 18b is free in rotation within the first knuckles 14.
  • the pin 18 comprises an internal housing, this internal housing being formed in this example by a first housing part 25a of the first part 18a of the pin 18 and a second housing part 25b of the second part 18b of the pin 18.
  • a detection unit 12 is arranged inside the internal housing.
  • This detection unit 12 comprises a processing unit 20 and a sensor 22, in this example a potentiometer 22.
  • a part 22a of the potentiometer 22 forms a first portion 12a of the detection unit 12 while the other part 22b of the potentiometer 22, movable in rotation relative to the part 22a, forms, with the processing unit 20 a second portion 12b of the detection unit 12.
  • the sensor 22 is mounted on the processing unit 20 via part 22b.
  • the first portion 12a of the detection unit 12 is coupled in rotation with the first part 18a of the pin 18 while the second portion 12b of the detection unit 12 is coupled in rotation with the second part 18b of the pin 18 by means known by elsewhere, for example by mechanical coupling, these couplings not being shown to make the figures clearer.
  • the first knuckle 14 rotates the first part 18a which itself rotates the first part 12a of the detection unit 12, and this with respect to the second part 12b of the detection unit 12, which is coupled in rotation, via the second part 18b of the pin 18, to the second knuckle 16.

  • the electronic circuit 20a comprises an antenna 20b, as a wireless transmission system, making it possible to exchange signals with the unit of reception 50.
  • the detection unit 12 can simply transmit the measurements of the potentiometer 22 as a function of time to the reception unit 50, the latter being able to carry out any post-processing of the data, or alternatively, according to a variant, the detection unit 12 itself post-processes the data and transmits the result of this post-processing to the reception unit 50.
  • the reception unit 50 is configured to transmit a signal to the detection unit 12 suitable for taring the detection unit 12.
  • the antenna 20b and the electronic circuit 20a form means of calibration of the detection unit 12. According to a variant not shown, the calibration is carried out via a button disposed on the hinge and connected to the electronic circuit 20a.
  • the detection unit 12, and more particularly the electronic circuit 20a comprises an integrated power supply 20c, in this example an electric battery 20c.
  • the battery 20c is disposed on an axial end of the electronic circuit 20a, opposite the sensor 22.
  • the pin 18 has, on its axial end opposite the battery 20c, a removable cover 18d, in order to be able to easily change the battery 20c without having to disassemble the entire hinge 10.
  • Such a location is discreet, and allows the battery 20c to be easily recovered by gravity when the hinge 10 is mounted so that the cover 18d is oriented vertically towards the bottom.
  • the cover 18d for removing the battery 20c forms a means for resetting the detection unit 12. In fact, by removing the cover 18d, the battery 20c can be removed, whereby the detection unit resets.
  • Such a reset is particularly useful when initial assembly of the hinge 10 to adapt the configuration of the hinge to the leaf on which it is mounted.
  • the figure 3 shows an example of several parameters for opening the hinge 10 as a function of the time obtained via the detection unit 12.
  • the hinge 10 was opened at time t1 and closed at time t2; it was opened at a maximum opening angle ⁇ 1; it was open in all for a period of T1; and it was opened faster than it was closed (V1> V2 in absolute value).
  • V1> V2 in absolute value we also see that the hinge 10 was re-opened at time t3, at a maximum opening angle ⁇ 2, and that a few times later the opening angle was reduced to a value ⁇ 3 very weak without however completely closing the hinge 10 (or the leaf mounted on the hinge 10).
