Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for detecting the direction of movement of an occultation screen.
  • the motor torque can be determined by measuring the voltage available across a phase shift capacitor between the motor windings.
  • the voltage of the phase-shift capacitor varies very little, so that the determination of the direction of movement of the the screen by this voltage reading is not easy nor reliable.
  • such an approach of determining the direction by determining the torque can be applied exclusively for an actuator equipped with a synchronous motor, for example a BLDC motor. It is these drawbacks that the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a new detection method for an occultation installation that can also be implemented for an actuator comprising a synchronous motor.
  • the electromechanical actuator comprises a synchronous electric motor and the predefined displacement parameter is a duty cycle of a supply voltage of the synchronous electric motor.
  • the occultation installation 1 comprises a shielding screen 2, an electromechanical actuator 4, communication means 6 and a control unit 8.

  • the opening O is closed by the screen 2, at the option of a user.
  • the occultation screen 2 is, in a manner known per se, formed by a plurality of blades hinged together and comprising a lower blade and an upper blade.

  • the lower blade of the occultation screen 2 is movable in translation, along an axis X2 belonging to the plane of the opening O and perpendicular to the axis X1, in a first direction of displacement D1 or in a second direction displacement D2.
  • the first and second movement direction D1 and D2 are opposite each other along the axis X1.
  • the first and second direction of movement D1 and D2 may be in a rising direction or in a direction of descent of the screen 2, in particular depending on whether the actuator is mounted on the right or on the left of the winding shaft or depending on whether the screen is at the front or rear of the winding shaft.
  • the actuator 4 is configured to be activated by a user.
  • the user transmits a control command to the actuator 4 of the installation 1 via a control signal S from the control unit 8.
  • the actuator 4 is configured to receive the control signal S via the communication means 6.

  • the electric motor 16 is powered by a DC voltage supplied by the power supply network. distribution.
  • the distribution network supplies an AC voltage of the order of 230 volts which is rectified and filtered in order to obtain a DC voltage of approximately 325 V for the supply of the synchronous electric motor 16.
  • a first electrical conductor 12 of the actuator 4 is able to transmit the DC voltage, while a second conductor 14 is able to connect the actuator 4 to ground.
  • the actuator 4 comprises the synchronous motor 16, a control module 48 and a control device 50.
  • the synchronous motor 16 comprises, in a manner known per se, a stator, windings and a rotor.
  • the stator of the synchronous motor 16 comprises a stack of laminations forming a magnetic circuit.
  • Synchronous motor stator windings 16 define three phases of the supply voltage. The three phases are 120 ° out of phase with each other.
  • the rotor of the synchronous motor 16 is, for example, a rotor with permanent magnets.
  • the synchronous motor 16 comprises three sensors 52A, 52B and 52C. These sensors 52A, 52B and 52C are, for example, binary output Hall effect sensors.
  • sensors are configured to react to the magnetic flux of the rotor magnets of the synchronous motor 16 and to provide a signal representative of the angular position of the rotor.
  • the sensors 52A, 52B and 52C are mounted on a printed circuit integral with the stator of the synchronous motor 16. Each sensor provides a signal representative of the position of the rotor. The analysis of the different signals makes it possible to determine the position and the speed of the rotor. Only one or two physical sensors can be used, the signal of the other sensors can be reconstituted from the signals of the physical sensor or sensors. Alternatively, this position and speed information can be determined without physical sensors.
  • the control module 48 is configured to supply sequentially the windings of the synchronous motor 16, so as to create a rotating magnetic field.
  • the control module 48 comprises a plurality of power switches 54A to 54F. In a manner known per se, the power switches are able to close sequentially, in order to supply one of the three windings of the synchronous motor 16. In particular, the power switches are controlled by external control signals.
  • the control device 50 is configured to control the control module 48.
  • the control device 50 comprises a logic unit 56 and a control signal generation module 58 for the control module 48.
  • the unit logic 56 receives, via wired links 60, the signals provided by the sensors 52A to 52C. Based on these measurements, the logic unit 56 controls the module 58, which generates the control signals for the power switches 54A through 54F.
  • wired links 62 connect the module 58 to the power switches 54A to 54F.
  • the control device 50 thus provides the function of a frequency modulator and supplies the synchronous motor 16 with supply voltages having cyclic ratios adapted to its operation.
  • the supply voltage which is supplied to the windings of the synchronous motor 16 is calculated as the product of a signal of the rectified DC voltage and a signal of a duty cycle defined by the control device 50.
  • the modulation, more precisely Pulse Width Modulation ( PWM ) realized using the control device 50 is of the order of 16 kHz.
  • the control device 50 also comprises a speed regulator 64.
  • the speed regulator 64 comprises at least one regulation loop concerning the speed. It may also include a second current control loop which operates in parallel with the speed control loop. These loops are controlled by speed and current correctors and allow to manage the voltage setpoint to be applied across the motor 16.
  • the advantage of the regulator 64 is to be able to regulate the speed of the motor 16, while possibly having a control of the couple.
  • the main regulation is speed control.
  • current regulation taking place at the same sampling period and in parallel with the speed regulation, makes it possible to ensure torque control at each instant.
  • These two control loops are relatively independent of each other. They are orchestrated by the logic unit 56 which will select the minimum voltage to be applied to the motor 16, that is to say either the supplied voltage of the speed corrector, or the voltage supplied by the current corrector.
  • control device 50 is able, by means of its speed controller 64, to switch the actuator 4 between a so-called nominal configuration C1 and a configuration C2, called learning.

  • Step b) may comprise a production time of between 0.5 and 2 s. This time is necessary for the establishment of a regime of stable and for the measurement of the parameter P.
  • the method comprises a step c) of comparing the values V1 and V2 of the predefined parameter of displacement measured during steps a) and b).

  • the logic unit 56 intervenes on the speed regulator 64 so that it provides a higher rotational speed.

  • the control device 50 When the actuator 4 is switched to the nominal configuration C1, the control device 50 is configured to supply at the input of the synchronous electric motor 16 a supply signal corresponding to a first speed W1 of rotation.
