Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a power unit for a roller shutter, in particular a slatted roller shutter installed on the outside of the window.
  • the roller shutter curtain comprising a series of slats, articulated on their longer edges.
  • This unit can also be used for a roller shutter comprising a movable curtain of a small thickness, for example made of fabric.
  • the power unit according to the invention is intended in particular for use in roller shutters installed on roof windows.
  • the tubular bar is driven from the roller shutter slats pulled by a shaft provided with drive wheels, and during unwinding the winding diameter of the roller shutter decreases and the rotational speed of the tubular bar increases.
  • the drive shaft has a constant speed, usually smaller than the tubular bar, therefore, the spring connecting these elements inhibits the movement of the tubular bar tightening the roller shutter.
  • the disadvantage of this solution is the need to bring external driving means to the shaft with drive wheels and to the shaft inside the tubular bar (as indicated in the description), and this requires additional space next to the window for the motor or for the gear transferring hand operation.
  • the device includes means for controlling the current supply to the motors capable of ensuring the operation, at reduced power and in opposite direction to the manoeuvre, of the motor, of the rolling-up-control shaft or the unrolling-control shaft, respectively, according to whether one is in the unrolling or in the rolling-up phase, with a view to bring about a torque opposing this manoeuvre controlled by the operation of the motor of the unrolling-control shaft or the rolling-up-control shaft, respectively.
  • the invention provides a roller shutter power unit according to claim 1, in particular for the slatted roller shutter, comprising a winding shaft, which is used to store a movable curtain which is composed of slats articulated to one another on their longer edges, and comprises a drive shaft used to move the movable curtain, wherein the drive shaft and the winding shaft are driven by separate electric motors, referred to as the "driving motor” and the “winding motor”, respectively. At least one of the two motors has a rotational speed regulated by the controller, depending on the stage of winding of the movable curtain on the winding shaft.
  • the roller shutter comprises the power unit according to the invention, is designed in particular for a roof window in which, due to its inclination in the roof slope and the variable inclination angle of the sash in its open positions, it is difficult or impossible to unwind the movable curtain using gravity.
  • the roller shutter located outside of the window, has a cassette for storage of the movable curtain in its wound state, placed in particular at the top of the window, in particular on the upper frame member.
  • the roller shutter is connected to the movable curtain guides, placed along the side frame members and the window sash frame.
  • the ends of both shafts, i.e. the winding shaft and the drive shaft, are bearing mounted in the cassette side plates.
  • the drive shaft is located just upstream of the inlet of the movable curtain to the guides.
  • the drive shaft slides subsequent slats into the guides and is supported by the winding shaft that unwinds the stored slats of the movable curtain.
  • the drive shaft introduces its slats to the cassette, where they are wound on the winding shaft.
  • the electric motor with the rotational speed controlled during the movement of the movable curtain is the winding motor.
  • the rotational speed of the driving motor can be constant or adjustable by the user or the roller shutter manufacturer.
  • the adjustable rotational speed of the driving motor can refer to the full range of movements of the movable curtain, for the use of different speeds of unwinding and winding.
  • This motor can have at least two stages of adjustable rotational speed and there may also exist stageless adjustment of the driving motor rotational speed.
  • the rotational speed of the driving motor adjustable adjustable, at least in two stages, in particular by the manufacturer, can only be used in the final sections of movement of the movable curtain to reduce this speed when the movable curtain is moved to its extreme positions. It is also possible to program a small retraction of the movable curtain after reaching the extreme position, fully unwound, in order to obtain alignment of the positions of slats.
  • the power unit control system calculates the angle of rotation of the drive shaft, calculated from one of the two extreme positions of the movable curtain.
  • the angle of rotation of the drive shaft is measured by an encoder, i.e. a transducer for measuring the rotational movement of the motor by calculating the number of pulses sent by a magnet installed on the rotating driving motor pin, read by the sensor fixed in the roller shutter cassette, in particular in the motor set housing comprising the main components: an electric motor and a toothed gear.
  • the controller calculates the current supplied to both motors: the driving motor and the winding motor.
  • the readings of the number of pulses from the driving motor are calculated in the controller as the driving force from this motor is transferred by the gear which results in that the number of rotations of the motor and the shaft driven by this motor are different.
  • the number of rotations of the drive shaft calculated in the controller indicates how many movable curtain slats are placed inside the cassette and should be wound on the winding shaft. From the number of slats wound on this shaft, the controller calculates the actual diameter of the movable curtain outer layer wound on the winding shaft, and according to this diameter it determines the required number of rotations of the winding shaft, necessary to maintain the peripheral speed for the actual winding diameter compatible with the linear speed of the movable curtain slats moved by the drive shaft.
  • the control system also calculates the rotation angle of the winding shaft, similarly to the drive shaft, by calculating the number of pulses sent by the magnet installed on the rotating pin of the winding motor.
  • the difference of angles of rotation of the shafts: the winding shaft and the drive shaft calculated by the controller, in relation to the angle of rotation of the drive shaft, is also used to control the winding motor, as this difference of rotation angles indicates whether the actual rotational speed of the winding shaft is appropriate for cooperation with the drive shaft, and in case of any discrepancy, the speed of the winding motor is increased or decreased accordingly.
  • Calculation of current supplied to the motors is used to protect the roller shutter and its power unit against overloads that may occur during movement of the roller shutter movable curtain.
  • the current supplied to the motors increases, and if they reach the maximum admissible values, the power supply to the electric motors is switched off.
  • the rotational speed of at least one of the electric motors is controlled based on the current calculation of the motor driving the shaft, which cooperates with the movable curtain in the chosen direction of movement of the movable curtain, as second in order.
  • the controlled motor is preferably the winding motor and to control its rotational speed calculations of current are used: in the driving motor, during the unwinding of the movable curtain, and in the winding motor during its winding.
  • the lower resistance to motion of the drive shaft, and thus the lower current in the driving motor signals that the unwinding of the movable curtain from the winding shaft is too fast, which may lead to uncontrolled stacking of slats inside the cassette.
  • the control system reduces the rotational speed of the winding motor.
  • Increasing current in the driving motor indicates that the winding motor is working too slowly which results in that the movable curtain is tightening between the winding and drive shaft.
  • the control system increases the rotational speed of the winding motor in order to release the movable curtain faster.
  • low current in the winding motor indicates that the motor must be accelerated to wind on the winding shaft all slats inserted into the cassette by the drive shaft and thus avoid uncontrolled stacking of these slats in the cassette.
  • the increase of the current in the winding motor signals that its speed and thus rotational speed of the winding shaft should be reduced as the movable curtain is overtightened between the shafts: the winding shaft and the drive shaft.
  • the shafts placed in the roller shutter cassette: the winding shaft and the drive shaft are hollow and the electric motors: the driving motor and the winding motor driving both shafts, are located inside this shafts.
  • Each of these two motors is part of the motor set, respectively: the driving motor or the winding motor, that has also a toothed gear to reduce the motor speed to the speed needed to drive the shafts.
  • the motor and gear of the motor set are placed in a cylindrical housing, having at one end a collar by means of which the motor set is mounted in one of the side plates of the cassette.
  • the gear shaft pin protrudes at the opposite end of each motor set, with the driver mounted transferring the driving force from the motor set to the shaft, respectively: the driving motor or the winding motor.
  • the drive shaft cooperating on its periphery with the surfaces - external to the window - of the individual slats of the movable curtain, has seats for the slats moved by this shaft.
  • the seats are concave and their shape is adapted to the convex surfaces of the movable curtain slats, located on the side - external to the window - of these slats.
  • the drive shaft comprises hooks. During the cooperation of the drive shaft with the movable curtain, these hooks enter gaps between its slats, stretching slightly flexible connectors of adjacent seats.
  • hooks increases the efficiency of transferring the driving force of the individual slats of the movable curtain. It is sufficient to locate the seats for the movable curtain only at the ends of the drive shaft. In particular, these seats are part of the drive wheels which are monolithic with the ends of the drive shaft and are used for its sliding bearing mounting in the cassette. In the second variant, the drive wheels with seats for the slats of the movable curtain are mounted on both ends of the drive shaft and they are separated elements from the shaft ends used for bearing mounting.
  • roller shutter drive in particular the slatted roller shutter
  • two electric motors located inside the shafts: the drive shaft and the winding shaft, and controlling their rotational speeds eliminates the use of complicated and expensive mechanical gear sets. It also eliminates tightening of the roller shutter by means of springs between the drive and winding shafts, and maintaining the unnecessary spring tension while the roller shutter does not move.
  • the motors located inside the two shafts also reduce the dimensions of the roller shutter, in particular the width, which is important when embedding of a set of windows placed next to each other on the roof.
  • two motors instead of one big motor allow better and more flexible use of the power of both cooperating motors.
