Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field of installations for covering and uncovering a surface using steerable blades extending parallel to each other in order to constitute a protective or closure screen of a surface in the general sense, these blades steerable having the possibility in the deployed position relative to the surface, to open or close according to particular weather conditions.
- the object of the invention is for many applications to constitute in particular a roof covering part of pergolas or terraces for example, or a protective screen for doors or windows.
- this roof Compared to a fixed roof that only protects a space from the rain and the sun, this roof also offers the possibility to control, at will, the ventilation and sunshine of the space equipped with such a roof
- This openable roof however has the disadvantage of leaving permanently blades orientable above the surface to be covered, which can be a disadvantage especially during a long period of no sun.
- Each orientation and displacement mechanism comprises, on the one hand, an endless chain or belt mounted endlessly between fixed return pulleys and having an outer and an inner side, and on the other hand, an internal belt mounted without end between fixed return pulleys and having an outer strand and an inner strand which extends vis-à-vis the inner strand of the outer belt to delimit between them a drive corridor for the blades.
- Each orientation and displacement mechanism comprises a synchronized motorization system of the external belts and a synchronized motorization system of the internal belts. The motorization of the motorization systems is controlled for, on the one hand, moving in the same direction the inner strands to move the blades in translation in the drive lane and, on the other hand, move the inner strands in reverse directions to orient the blades.
- Each orientation and displacement mechanism comprises a blade distribution device driven by the synchronized motorization systems of the belts and adapted to, in a direction of movement of the strands, successively engage in a constant spacing pitch, the blades in the driving lane and, in a direction of opposite movement, successively clear the blades of the drive lane so that they occupy their stored position.
- This installation is not designed to be a roof and is in practice unsuitable to cover a relatively large opening.
- Another disadvantage of such an installation is the need to provide a blade storage magazine.
- This storage warehouse is arranged either to encroach on the surface to be covered or in the extension of the surface to be covered if a location is available for this purpose.
- the patent EP 1 595 053 describes a mechanism for closing an opening from blades each provided at each of their ends, a nut cooperating with a motorized screw extending over the entire length of the opening.
- the nuts are engaged in a guide rail to ensure the translation of the blades during the rotation of the screws.
- This mechanism also comprises, at a slide storage magazine in the folded position, a rack cooperating with the nuts to distribute the blades at a constant pitch or ensure their stacking in the store.
- each end of the blades is provided with a roller cooperating with a system ensuring the orientation of the blades.
- the patent application WO 2012/107350 discloses a thermal shutter installation for window comprising a series of orientable flaps extending parallel to each other, each being supported by a guide at each of its ends.
- the installation comprises on both sides flaps, threaded rods cooperating with a gear box fitted to each flap guide.
- the guides of each shutter are provided with motors for orienting the shutters and for moving the shutters independently of one another.
- the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a simple and inexpensive installation to cover and discover, with the aid of steerable blades, a vertical as well as horizontal surface which has variable dimensions in a wide range that can reach large dimensions.
- the present invention aims to provide a completely modular installation for easily adapting to the dimensions of the surface to be covered, while offering the advantage of being able to guide at will the blades of various areas of the surface in different positions.
- Another object of the invention is to propose an installation that does not require dedicating a space for storing the blades in the folded position.
- the object of the invention relates to a plant 1 for covering and uncovering a surface 2 by a series of movable blades 3 extending one behind the other preferably being all identical and parallel to each other along their longitudinal axis.
- Each orientable blade 3 has a generally rectangular shape delimited by first and second longitudinal edges 3 1 and 3 2 parallel to one another and interconnected by first and second parallel end edges 3 3 and 3 4 also between them.
- the number and dimensions of the adjustable blades are adapted to the dimensions of the rectangular surface 2 to be covered.
- the slats 3 are able to form together a rectangular screen defined firstly by the longitudinal edge 3 1 of the first blade 3 and the longitudinal edge 2 of the 3 last blade 3 and on the other hand, by all of the first end edges 3 3 of the blades aligned together and by the set of second end edges 3 4 of the blades aligned together.
- the blades 3 are provided at each of their end edges with a pivot axis 4 to allow in particular their orientation.
- the installation 1 comprises a mechanism I for orienting the blades 3 according to their pivot axis 4 in order to ensure the pivoting of at least some and in a general manner of the set of blades 3 so that the longitudinal edges 3 1 , 3 2 adjacent blades are joined to close the corresponding surface or are non-contiguous to open the surface 2.
- the steerable blades 3 can thus form in a zone Z 1 , a screen to the extent that the longitudinal edges of the blades are contiguous with the longitudinal edges of adjacent blades.
- the blades 3 are deployed above the surface in an upright or open position.
- this example of deployment of the blades 3 is given by way of illustration only to the extent that the blades 3 can be deployed and oriented in many other configurations as will be better understood in the following description.
- the installation according to the invention also comprises a displacement system II of the blades 3 between a stowed position ( Fig . 1 ) and a position partially or fully deployed facing the surface 2 ( Fig . 2 and 3 ).
- the blades 3 are contiguous to each other between a row head blade and a storage edge 5 1 of a supporting structure or frame 5.
- the blades 3 can not be oriented and the blades 3 occupy an erect position, that is to say that the blades are located in parallel planes substantially perpendicular to the surface 2, namely vertical in the illustrated example.
- the systems I and II ensure the displacement and orientation of the blades 3 so that they together form at least one protective screen opening and closing at will.
- this screen forms a roof or a protective flap that can completely cover the surface 2 or only a portion of the surface 2, with the possibility of orientation of the blades on demand when the blades are not in the stowed position .
- the installation 1 also comprises two guide tracks 8 guiding in translation for the blades 3 between a stowed position in which the blades are contiguous to each other ( Fig . 1 ) and an extended position in which at least some or all of the blades 3 are deployed opposite the surface 2 ( Fig . 2, 3 ).

- each blade 3 is thus supported, at one of its ends, by a first carriage 10 1 carrying only a displacement motor 12 and, at its opposite end, by a second carriage 10 2 carrying a displacement motor 12 and an orientation motor 14.
- the carriages 10 2 provided with a displacement motor 12 and an orientation motor 14 on the one hand and the carriages 10 1 provided with a displacement motor 12 on the other hand are mounted alternately from one blade to the other on each side of the surface 2 to cover or to discover.

- the main body 15 of the first and second trolleys are nested into each other in the stowed position.
- each displacement motor 12 is mounted in any appropriate manner on the main body 15 of each carriage 10 1 , 10 2 .

- the connecting pin 20 is mounted to pass through the main body 15 and the bearing 11 coming from one side, supported by a head 21 on the body 15 and being locked in translation by a locking element 22 such as a nut bearing on the underside of the guide bearing.
- a spring 23 is engaged on the connecting shaft 20 and interposed between the main body 15 and the guide bearing 11 to compensate for manufacturing and assembly tolerances.
- the Fig. 5 illustrates more precisely an embodiment of the first carriages 10 1 each only carrying a displacement motor 12.
- Each first carriage 10 1 comprises a central bore 30 equipped with a system 31 for guiding the rotation axis 4 of the pivot blade.

L'objet de l'invention vise de nombreuses applications pour constituer en particulier une couverture d'un toit faisant partie de pergolas ou de terrasses par exemple, ou un écran de protection pour des portes ou des fenêtres.The object of the invention is for many applications to constitute in particular a roof covering part of pergolas or terraces for example, or a protective screen for doors or windows.
Dans l'état de la technique, il est connu, par exemple par le document
Par rapport à une toiture fixe qui permet seulement de protéger un espace de la pluie et du soleil, ce toit ouvrable offre aussi la possibilité de contrôler, à volonté, l'aération et l'ensoleillement de l'espace équipé d'un tel toit Ce toit ouvrable présente toutefois l'inconvénient de laisser subsister en permanence les lames orientables au-dessus de la surface à couvrir, ce qui peut représenter un inconvénient lors notamment d'une longue période de non ensoleillement.Compared to a fixed roof that only protects a space from the rain and the sun, this roof also offers the possibility to control, at will, the ventilation and sunshine of the space equipped with such a roof This openable roof however has the disadvantage of leaving permanently blades orientable above the surface to be covered, which can be a disadvantage especially during a long period of no sun.
Pour remédier à ce problème, il est connu dans le domaine des volets de fermeture, par le brevet
Chaque mécanisme d'orientation et de déplacement comporte d'une part, une chaîne ou une courroie externe montée sans fin entre des poulies fixes de renvoi et présentant un brin extérieur et un brin intérieur, et d'autre part, une courroie interne monté sans fin entre des poulies fixes de renvoi et présentant un brin extérieur et un brin intérieur qui s'étend en vis-à-vis du brin intérieur de la courroie externe pour délimiter entre eux un couloir d'entraînement pour les lames. Chaque mécanisme d'orientation et de déplacement comporte un système de motorisation synchronisée des courroies externes et un système de motorisation synchronisée des courroies internes. La motorisation des systèmes de motorisation est commandée pour d'une part, déplacer dans le même sens les brins intérieurs pour déplacer en translation les lames dans le couloir d'entraînement et, d'autre part, déplacer les brins intérieurs selon des sens inversés pour orienter les lames.Each orientation and displacement mechanism comprises, on the one hand, an endless chain or belt mounted endlessly between fixed return pulleys and having an outer and an inner side, and on the other hand, an internal belt mounted without end between fixed return pulleys and having an outer strand and an inner strand which extends vis-à-vis the inner strand of the outer belt to delimit between them a drive corridor for the blades. Each orientation and displacement mechanism comprises a synchronized motorization system of the external belts and a synchronized motorization system of the internal belts. The motorization of the motorization systems is controlled for, on the one hand, moving in the same direction the inner strands to move the blades in translation in the drive lane and, on the other hand, move the inner strands in reverse directions to orient the blades.
Chaque mécanisme d'orientation et de déplacement comporte un dispositif de distribution des lames entraîné par les systèmes de motorisation synchronisée des courroies et adapté pour, selon un sens de déplacement des brins, engager successivement selon un pas d'écartement constant, les lames dans le couloir d'entraînement et, selon un sens de déplacement contraire, dégager successivement les lames du couloir d'entraînement afin qu'elles occupent leur position rangée.Each orientation and displacement mechanism comprises a blade distribution device driven by the synchronized motorization systems of the belts and adapted to, in a direction of movement of the strands, successively engage in a constant spacing pitch, the blades in the driving lane and, in a direction of opposite movement, successively clear the blades of the drive lane so that they occupy their stored position.
Cette installation n'est pas conçue pour constituer un toit et s'avère en pratique inadaptée à couvrir une relativement grande ouverture. Un autre inconvénient d'une telle installation concerne la nécessité de prévoir un magasin de stockage des lames. Ce magasin de stockage est aménagé soit pour empiéter sur la surface à couvrir ou soit dans le prolongement de la surface à couvrir si un emplacement est disponible à cet effet.This installation is not designed to be a roof and is in practice unsuitable to cover a relatively large opening. Another disadvantage of such an installation is the need to provide a blade storage magazine. This storage warehouse is arranged either to encroach on the surface to be covered or in the extension of the surface to be covered if a location is available for this purpose.
Le brevet
Un inconvénient de cette solution est la présence d'un magasin de stockage dans lequel les lames ne peuvent pas être orientées. De plus, cette solution est complexe et coûteuse à réaliser en raison du recours à des vis de grandes longueurs et de la précision requise en particulier pour le changement de guidage entre la glissière et la crémaillère. Cette solution s'avère en pratique irréalisable pour l'occultation d'une grande ouverture.A disadvantage of this solution is the presence of a storage magazine in which the blades can not be oriented. In addition, this solution is complex and expensive to achieve due to the use of screws of great lengths and the required accuracy especially for the change of guiding between the slide and the rack. This solution proves in practice impracticable for the occultation of a large opening.
La demande de brevet
Cette installation s'avère complexe et couteuse à réaliser en raison de la mise en oeuvre de tiges filetées et du degré de précision requis pour son montage. Une telle installation ne se trouve pas adaptée pour couvrir une surface de grande dimension.This installation is complex and expensive to implement because of the implementation of threaded rods and the degree of precision required for its assembly. Such an installation is not suitable for covering a large area.

Cette structure porteuse 5 comporte avantageusement deux profilés longitudinaux 52 et 53 s'étendant parallèlement entre eux selon deux côtés opposés de la surface 2 et parallèlement aux voies de guidage 8. Ces deux profilés longitudinaux 52 et 53 sont reliés entre eux à leur extrémité, par des profilés de liaison 51 et 54 (non représentés) formant ensemble un cadre délimitant la surface 2. L'un des profilés de liaison 54 délimite le bord de butée pour le bord longitudinal 31 de la première lame tandis que l'autre profilé 51 , délimite le bord de rangement pour le bord longitudinal de la dernière lame 3. La première lame et la dernière lame sont prises en considération du sens de déploiement des lames représenté par la flèche F pour lequel les lames passent de la position rangée à la position déployée. Lors du reploiement des lames 3 selon le sens F1 opposé au sens F, les premières et dernières lames sont considérées être les même que celles désignées lors de l'opération de déploiement.This supporting
L'installation 1 selon l'invention est destinée à être fixée par tout moyen approprié sur une structure porteuse non représentée adaptée à l'application visée. Dans le cas où l'installation 1 selon l'invention est destinée à former le toit d'une pergola par exemple, la structure porteuse 5 comporte des poteaux supportant le cadre formé par les profilés de liaison et les profilés longitudinaux.The installation 1 according to the invention is intended to be fixed by any appropriate means on a carrier structure not shown adapted to the intended application.

Conformément à l'invention, chaque lame 3 est supportée à chacune de ses extrémités plus précisément par ses axes de pivotement 4, par un jeu de deux chariots 101 , 102 guidés en translation selon les voies de guidage 8. Tel que cela ressort plus précisément des
Conformément à l'invention le système de déplacement II comporte pour chaque paire de chariots 101 , 102 équipant une lame, avantageusement deux moteurs de déplacement 12 embarqués chacun sur un chariot. Il doit être compris que chaque lame 3 est motorisée par deux moteurs pour équilibrer les efforts appliqués aux lames 3. Par exemple, les moteurs de déplacement 12 sont des moteurs électriques par exemple à courant continu à balais, reliés à une source d'alimentation électrique par l'intermédiaire de câbles de raccordements non représentés.According to the invention the displacement system II comprises for each pair of carriages 10 1 , 10 2 equipping a blade, preferably two
Il ressort de la description qui précède que les lames 3 sont automotrices et peuvent être déplacées indépendamment les unes des autres. Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, chaque lame 3 peut également être orientée individuellement. Ainsi, le système d'orientation I comporte pour chaque paire de chariot équipant une lame, au moins un et dans l'exemple illustré, un unique moteur d'orientation 14 embarqué sur l'un des deux chariots 101 et 102 équipant une lame 3. Chaque moteur d'orientation 14 est relié angulairement avec un axe de pivotement 4 pour placer la lame 3 dans une position angulaire déterminée dressée (perpendiculaire de la surface 2 à savoir verticale dans le cas d'une pergola), de fermeture (en position horizontale) ou intermédiaire prise entre ces deux positions verticale et horizontale.It follows from the above description that the
Selon l'exemple préféré de réalisation illustré sur les dessins, chaque lame 3 est donc supportée, à l'une de ses extrémités, par un premier chariot 101 embarquant uniquement un moteur de déplacement 12 et, à son extrémité opposée, par un deuxième chariot 102 embarquant un moteur de déplacement 12 et un moteur d'orientation 14. Les chariots 102 munis d'un moteur de déplacement 12 et d'un moteur d'orientation 14 d'une part et les chariots 101 munis d'un moteur de déplacement 12 d'autre part sont montés de façon alternée d'une lame à l'autre selon chaque côté de la surface 2 à couvrir ou à découvrir. En d'autres termes, les premiers et seconds chariots sont montés alternativement selon chaque côté longitudinaux de la structure porteuse. Une telle disposition permet de gagner en encombrement notamment en position rangée comme cela sera expliqué dans la suite de la description.According to the preferred embodiment illustrated in the drawings, each
Chaque chariot 101 , 102 présente un corps principal 15 de forme générale parallélépipédique allongée s'étendant principalement selon l'axe de pivotement 4. De préférence, les corps 15 des premiers et seconds chariots ne sont pas identiques pour justement gagner en encombrement en position rangée. Tel que cela ressort plus précisément des
Bien entendu, chaque moteur de déplacement 12 est monté de toute manière appropriée sur le corps principal 15 de chaque chariot 101 , 102 . Chaque moteur de déplacement 12 entraine en rotation un pignon 17 entraînant en translation une lame 3. Chaque pignon 17 coopère avec une crémaillère 18 montée sur la structure porteuse 5 selon une direction parallèle à la voie de guidage 8 et selon toute la longueur de la voie de guidage pour permettre la translation des lames entre leurs positions rangée et déployée. Selon une variante avantageuse de réalisation, chaque crémaillère 18 est réalisée par une courroie crantée fixée sur la structure porteuse 5. Of course, each

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, chaque profilé longitudinal 52 , 53 est réalisé par extrusion. Les profilés peuvent être assemblés bout à bout à volonté pour s'adapter aux dimensions de la surface 2 à couvrir. Avantageusement, la cloison médiane 5a et l'aile interne 5d délimitent entre eux une gouttière 5e à l'aplomb de laquelle s'étendent les bords d'extrémité des lames pour récupérer éventuellement l'eau de pluie.According to one characteristic of the invention, each

La rotation de l'arbre tubulaire 42 conduit à la translation du chariot 102 entraînant la translation de la lame dont l'axe de pivotement 4 est poussé lors de la translation du chariot. Chaque pignon 17 coopère indirectement avec un axe de pivotement 4 pour entrainer en translation l'axe de pivotement 4 de la lame 3, par la liaison pivot réalisée entre l'arbre tubulaire 42 et l'axe de pivotement 4. The rotation of the
Par ailleurs, l'axe de pivotement 4 est entraîné en rotation par le moteur d'orientation 14 dont l'arbre de sortie coopère avec une roue dentée 47 calée en rotation avec l'axe de pivotement 4 dont l'extrémité opposée est engagée à l'intérieur du logement 32 et liée angulairement à la lame à l'aide par exemple de goupilles de liaison 48. L'axe de pivotement 4 est ainsi monté libre en rotation à l'intérieur de l'arbre tubulaire 42 et peut être orienté à volonté dans une position stable déterminée à l'aide du moteur d'orientation 14. Furthermore, the
L'installation 1 comporte également des capteurs 50 de position et de déplacement des lames 3. De tels capteurs 50 permettent de connaître la position de chacune des lames 3 à tout moment tout au long de leur parcours sur la voie de guidage. De tels capteurs 50 de position de déplacement peuvent être réalisés de toute manière appropriée.The installation 1 also comprises

Les capteurs de position et de déplacement 50 comportent également des capteurs de mesure de la rotation des moteurs d'orientation 14 permettant de pouvoir connaître l'orientation angulaire des lames 3. Les capteurs de position et de déplacement 50 comportent également des capteurs 55 de détection du sens d'orientation des lames. Par exemple, ces capteurs de détection 55 sont réalisés par des capteurs de contact comme illustré aux
L'installation 1 selon l'invention comporte également un dispositif de commande non représenté, relié aux capteurs 50 de position et de déplacement, aux moteurs de déplacement 12 et aux moteurs d'orientation 14 permettant de déplacer en translation au moins une partie des lames 3 et d'orienter lesdites lames translatées. Un tel dispositif de commande permet ainsi de piloter le fonctionnement des moteurs de déplacement 12 et des moteurs d'orientation 14 de manière à permettre de couvrir et de découvrir une ou plusieurs zones de la surface 2 soit à la demande soit en fonction de programmes préenregistrés. Le dispositif de commande comporte de préférence un boitier de commande et d'alimentation déportée par rapport à l'installation et reliée à des circuits électroniques 61 embarqués sur les chariots 101, 102 . Ce dispositif de commande comporte de préférence une télécommande permettant de piloter à distance l'installation conforme à l'invention.The installation 1 according to the invention also comprises a control device, not shown, connected to the position and
Bien entendu, le dispositif de commande comporte un mode d'étalonnage permettant à l'installation de positionner les lames 3 dans une position définie afin de repérer leur position. D'une manière générale, le système de commande pilote avant toute première utilisation, les moteurs 12, 14 afin de placer les différentes lames 3 en position rangée avec une orientation dressée. Le repérage de la position des lames 3 en position rangée est assuré par les capteurs de contact 51. Of course, the control device comprises a calibration mode allowing the installation to position the
De préférence, le dispositif de commande présente plusieurs modes d'utilisation préenregistrés correspondant chacun à un type de positionnement des lames. Ainsi, il peut être prévu de préenregistrer un mode de couverture total de la surface 2 ou un mode de couverture partielle. De même, il peut être prévu de préenregistrer l'orientation des lames soit en position dressée soit en position de fermeture, soit dans une position intermédiaire.Preferably, the control device has several prerecorded modes of use each corresponding to a type of positioning of the blades. Thus, it may be provided to pre-register a total coverage mode of the
Pour couvrir la surface 2, les lames 3 sont sorties successivement de leur position rangée après un pas de déplacement déterminé et jusqu'à ce que les lames occupent leur position de sortie souhaitée. Avantageusement, le pas de déplacement des lames correspond à l'écartement entre deux lames consécutives jointives en position horizontale.To cover the
Ainsi, les moteurs de déplacement 12 de la première lame 3 sont commandés pour assurer la translation selon le sens F des chariots 101 et 102 de cette première lame 3. Lorsque cette première lame 3 a été déplacée d'un pas donné, les moteurs de déplacement 12 de la deuxième lame sont pilotés pour assurer la translation selon le sens F des chariots 101 et 102 de cette deuxième lame 3. Thus, the
Le dispositif de commande pilote ainsi les moteurs de déplacement 12 associés aux lames 3 devant être déployées. Le dispositif de commande arrête le fonctionnement des moteurs de déplacement 12 lorsque les lames 3 occupent leur position déployée souhaitée. L'arrêt de fonctionnement des moteurs de déplacement 12 est assuré soit directement par l'utilisateur en fonction de son choix de déploiement des lames soit selon un programme préenregistré prévoyant le positionnement des lames 3 en des positions définies assurées par les capteurs de mesure de la rotation des moteurs de déplacement 12. The control device thus drives the
Lorsque les lames 3 déployées occupent une position fixe, le dispositif de commande peut piloter les moteurs d'ouverture 14 pour orienter les lames 3. When the deployed
Il est à noter que le dispositif de commande pilote le fonctionnement des moteurs d'orientation 14 uniquement si les lames 3 occupent une position fixe différente de la position rangée.It should be noted that the control device controls the operation of the
Pour le rangement des lames 3, le dispositif de commande pilote les moteurs d'orientation 14 des lames déployées pour positionner ces dernières en position dressée. Lorsque les lames déployées 3 occupent leur position dressée, le dispositif de commande pilote simultanément les moteurs de déplacement 12 de ces lames pour les amener successivement dans leur position rangée détectée par les capteurs de position 51. For storage of the
Le dispositif de commande peut ainsi piloter sélectivement les moteurs de déplacement 12 et d'orientation 14 des lames pour couvrir toute ou partie de la surface 2, avec des lames en position dressée, fermée ou intermédiaire. Il est à noter que les lames 3 sont translatées uniquement en position dressée.The control device can thus selectively drive the
