Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for limiting the adjustment path of at least one of two or more drives of a shading device, the device having the two or more drives, of which at least one drives the shading device, the two drives having elements or degrees of freedom drive elements whose positioning paths overlap, and means for detecting and limiting the positioning path are provided for at least one of the drives, which prevent an element from being adjusted into a position in which another element is already located.
- Such devices are, for example, by the EP 3 196 379 A1 known from the prior art.
- a position is detected by position switches, it also being known to monitor the motor currents for position detection.
- the two drives for turning and moving can be mutually locked to prevent damage to the Mechanics to avoid collision of adjacent slats.
- a central control is provided in a housing on the slatted roof, which must be wired to the limit switches and all drives.
- the additional parts to be installed result in costs and time during assembly.
- the U.S. 2018/187447 A1 shows wireless communication for controlling two parasols.
- the object of the invention is to provide a collision avoidance system for drive systems that can be integrated into a shading device with less effort than previously.
- the object is achieved by a device of the type mentioned at the outset, in which at least one of the drives has an internal position detector and a communication link is provided between the drives, which transmits the position detected to the other drive, the communication link being wireless as a radio link - or infrared connection or as a data connection via power supply lines that are already present (Powerline Communication PLC), with an evaluation and control unit assigned to this drive limiting the travel of this drive in such a way that a collision with the other element is prevented.
- Powerline Communication PLC Powerline Communication
- the shading device it may be sufficient for only one of the drives to detect the position, with the detected position then being passed on to the other drive or drives via the communication link so that it locks for safety reasons or in its adjustment path can be limited.
- the central control for both drives can be omitted since the evaluation and control unit takes over its function for the drive assigned to it. The drive is therefore connected directly to the supply network, wiring all drives to a central controller is no longer necessary.
- the central control can also be omitted entirely and only one connection to a power supply is required.
- both or all drives have an evaluation and control unit with position detection and the communication connection is bidirectional, so that the two drives or all drives exchange their actual positions and, if necessary, their adjustment paths to these actual positions are customizable.
- a first drive can act on a curtain of the shading device as an element and the second drive can act on an adjustable building element.
- the first drive can drive a textile shading device and the second drive can drive a door or window element whose movement path can be adjusted, in which case the textile shading device can be a conservatory awning that can be coupled to the second drive in the adjustment path of a hinged window of a conservatory is, is movable.
- the two drives can also drive different degrees of freedom of a single shading device.
- the first drive can control the extension length of a slatted roof or curtain, while the second drive adjusts the inclination of the parallel Lamellae is responsible. This prevents the tilt adjustment of the slats from being activated when the slat roof is retracted, while conversely it should not be possible to retract the slat roof when the slats are in the closed position. In this case, it is prevented that coupled elements assigned to a single sun protection device, in this case the slats, can collide with one another in certain curtain positions.
- Such slat roofs form, for example, parts of self-supporting constructions for outdoor use.
- a simple concept for limiting the adjustment path can provide for the other drive to be locked via the radio link when a limit position of at least one drive is reached.
- the maximum adjustment path of at least one drive is continuously adapted to the actual position of the other drive in each case via the radio connection and the evaluation unit. In this way, the adjustment path can be adapted to the actual situation, so that there is still a maximum adjustment possibility for the respective drive under all operating conditions.
- Such a design is particularly advantageous, for example, in the case of a window or roof area that can be optionally shaded with two different hangings that are driven by assigned separate drives.
- the use of this concept also offers an advantage in that the maximum inclination of the slats is limited depending on the extension length of the slatted roof. When the roof is fully extended, the full adjustment range between the horizontal, complete shading position and the vertical, maximum open slat position can be available, which, however, decreases continuously up to the completely retracted roof position, so that in this position itself adjustment from the tilted position provided there is no longer possible is.
- a further, special embodiment of the invention provides that a freely programmable data memory is assigned to at least one evaluation unit, in which data for limiting the travel of the assigned drive can be stored as a function of position signals from the other drive.
- Freely programmable means that the software allows an intervention with which the system can be adapted to the respective conditions around the shading device and the two drives.
- a conservatory awning with a correspondingly programmable data memory can initially be delivered without restriction specifications, while then, when it is installed in the object, a corresponding software-side adjustment can be made to a hinged window provided in the conservatory, whose position has not yet been determined during the manufacture of the conservatory awning and its drive was known.
- a simple adjustment to tolerances on site is also possible.
- the communication link between the two drives can be redundant and/or designed with a plausibility check function that checks the functionality of the position monitoring. If an error occurs, one or both drives can then be locked or limited in their travel, so that a collision of the drives or the elements driven by them is avoided under all circumstances.
- the communication connection is set up wirelessly as a radio or infrared connection or as a data connection via power supply lines that are already present (Powerline Communication PLC).
- the drives each have a radio interface in addition to an evaluation and control unit, which, in addition to the position signals of the other drive in each case, also has Evaluate operator control signals sent by radio remote controls for drive control.
- the drives each have a radio interface in addition to an evaluation and control unit, which, in addition to the position signals of the other drive in each case, also has Evaluate operator control signals sent by radio remote controls for drive control.
- power line communication with conventional control elements can also be used.
- Such embodiments combine the features of the invention with the usual properties of a system remote control and use - as far as possible - the hardware equipment.
- the position signals from another drive are then evaluated using special software and used when controlling the relevant drive to limit the adjustment path, if necessary.
- a centrally located controller 110 which is connected to a power supply 112 .
- the central controller 110 is connected via connecting lines 114, 116 to a first drive 118, which adjusts the extension length of a slatted roof (not shown), and with connected to a second drive 120, which is used to adjust the inclination of the slats.
- the controls can each be operated by the user via connected buttons or a coupled remote control and can communicate with these devices and also with the two drives 118, 120 via a bus system.
- the bus system and associated hardware are shown schematically as black box 122 .
- both drives 118, 120 cannot be moved arbitrarily into all positions without - in the example described here - there being a collision between adjacent slats of the slatted roof
- position detection for the two drives in the form of encoders 124, 126, 128, 130 (in simple cases only limit switches) or a current detection provided that detects an increase in the supply current of a motor 132, 134 when approaching a stop (not shown) in an end position.
- the corresponding position signals are communicated to the controller 110 via the supply lines as a bus signal or as a simple current increase.
- electronic switch-off devices 138, 140 can be provided in the drives 118, 120, which switch off the respective drive when the end position is reached.
- the defeat devices do not have any further control function.
- Controller 110 takes into account the presence of certain position information and deactivates, for example, drive 120 for adjusting the slat inclination when the slat roof is in the retracted end position or drive 118 for adjusting the extended length of the slat roof if the slats are in a horizontal position when the roof is in the extended state are in the closed position.
- FIGS 3 and 4 two very similar exemplary embodiments of drive devices 1, 2 according to the invention are shown.
- a single central controller does not take over the activation of several motors 32, 34, but these each have their own evaluation and control unit 10, 11.
- the two drives are connected to a power supply 12, separate connection lines between a central controller and the drives can be omitted.
- the evaluation and control units 10, 11 receive the necessary position information directly and, when controlling the two drives 18, 20, take into account the position of the slats with regard to the inclination and extension length of the slat roof.
- both drives have sensors 24, 26 for detecting the position of at least the end position of the adjustment paths of the two drives 18, 20. These communicate with one another via radio links 36, so that the respective actual positions are exchanged between the evaluation and control units 10, 11 and are available in the respective other drive. There, the evaluation and control unit 10, 11 can then determine the permissible adjustment path of its associated drive based on the position of the other drive and thus avoid collisions of the actuating elements, here the slats.
- any other type of data communication can also be selected, for example an infrared connection or power line communication via the supply network.
- a specific communication system for controlling the drives is provided by the user, for example a radio remote control 40, as in the embodiments according to FIG Figures 3 and 4 or a power line communication, in which the operating elements communicate their data to the drives via the supply lines, the corresponding hardware can also be used to set up the data connection between the drives 18, 20.
- This in 4 shown embodiment largely corresponds to the drive device 1 from 3 , however, in accordance with this drive device 2 4 both evaluation and control units 10, 11 integrated into the respective drive 18, 20.
- This variant is generally preferred when, for example, two drives 18, 20 to be coordinated are provided in a sun protection system such as a slatted roof.
- the evaluation and control unit can also be implemented remotely from the drive, for example in the case of a home control system with openable windows in a conservatory, over which a shading device with an integrated drive is provided. It is also possible to network a drive of a shading device with a central control of a separate system in order to coordinate the movement sequences, the main difference from the prior art being that the drives to be coordinated no longer have to be controlled via a central control.
- the invention is not limited to one of the embodiments described above, but can be modified in many ways.
- more than two drives can exchange data with each other and limit each other's travel ranges or lock each other completely.
- this can relate, for example, to another hinged window in a conservatory or the arrangement of a slatted roof that can be adjusted in two degrees of freedom with two drives over a winter garden with one or more hinged windows with separate drives which, when open, extend into the adjustment range of the slats of the Louvered roof can protrude.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 eine Vorrichtung zur Begrenzung des Stellweges wenigstens eines von zwei oder mehr Antrieben einer Verschattungsvorrichtung, wobei die Vorrichtung die zwei oder mehr Antriebe aufweist, von denen wenigstens einer die Verschattungsvorrichtung antreibt, wobei die beiden Antriebe Elemente oder Freiheitsgrade von Elementen antreiben, deren Stellwege sich überschneiden, und Mittel zur Erfassung und Begrenzung des Stellweges jeweils wenigstens eines der Antriebe vorgesehen sind, die ein Verstellen eines Elementes in eine Position unterbinden, in der sich bereits ein jeweils anderes Element befindet.According to the preamble of claim 1, the invention relates to a device for limiting the adjustment path of at least one of two or more drives of a shading device, the device having the two or more drives, of which at least one drives the shading device, the two drives having elements or degrees of freedom drive elements whose positioning paths overlap, and means for detecting and limiting the positioning path are provided for at least one of the drives, which prevent an element from being adjusted into a position in which another element is already located.

Nachteilig ist auch, dass während der Montage die Anlage genau eingestellt werden muss und nachträgliche Korrekturen oder Anpassungen nicht mehr möglich sind, wenn beispielsweise Komponenten der Anlage im Bereich der Antriebe oder Elemente, die durch die Antriebe verstellt werden, getauscht werden sollen. Auch Toleranzen vor Ort können nicht mehr ohne weiteres ausgeglichen werden.It is also disadvantageous that the system has to be set precisely during assembly and subsequent corrections or adjustments are no longer possible if, for example, components of the system in the area of the drives or elements that are adjusted by the drives are to be exchanged. Tolerances on site can no longer be easily compensated either.
Die
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Kollisionsvermeidung von Antriebssystemen bereitzustellen, die mit weniger Aufwand als bisher in eine Verschattungsvorrichtung integriert werden kann.The object of the invention is to provide a collision avoidance system for drive systems that can be integrated into a shading device with less effort than previously.
Hauptmerkmale der Erfindung sind im kennzeichnenden Teil von Anspruch 1 angegeben. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der AnsprĂĽche 2 bis 14.Main features of the invention are set out in the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous configurations are the subject of
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art gelöst, bei welcher wenigstens einer der Antriebe über eine interne Positionserfassung verfügt und eine Kommunikationsverbindung zwischen den Antrieben vorgesehen ist, die die erfasste Stellung an den jeweils anderen Antrieb übermittelt, wobei die Kommunikationsverbindung drahtlos als Funk- oder Infrarotverbindung oder als Datenverbindung über ohnehin vorhandene Stromversorgungsleitungen (Powerline Communication PLC) aufgebaut ist, wobei eine diesem Antrieb zugeordnete Auswert- und Steuereinheit den Stellweg dieses Antriebes derart begrenzt, dass eine Kollision mit dem jeweils anderen Element verhindert ist.According to the invention, the object is achieved by a device of the type mentioned at the outset, in which at least one of the drives has an internal position detector and a communication link is provided between the drives, which transmits the position detected to the other drive, the communication link being wireless as a radio link - or infrared connection or as a data connection via power supply lines that are already present (Powerline Communication PLC), with an evaluation and control unit assigned to this drive limiting the travel of this drive in such a way that a collision with the other element is prevented.
Je nach Anordnung der Verschattungsvorrichtung kann es ausreichend sein, dass lediglich bei einem der Antriebe eine Positionserfassung vorgenommen wird, wobei die erfasste Position dann ĂĽber die Kommunikationsverbindung an den anderen Antrieb oder die anderen Antriebe weitergegeben wird, damit dieser aus SicherheitsgrĂĽnden verriegelt oder in seinem Verstellweg begrenzt werden kann. Entfallen kann die zentrale Steuerung fĂĽr beide Antriebe, da die Auswert- und Steuereinheit deren Funktion fĂĽr den ihr zugeordneten Antrieb ĂĽbernimmt. Der Antrieb wird also direkt ans Versorgungsnetz angeschlossen, eine Verdrahtung aller Antriebe mit einer zentralen Steuerung ist nicht mehr erforderlich.Depending on the arrangement of the shading device, it may be sufficient for only one of the drives to detect the position, with the detected position then being passed on to the other drive or drives via the communication link so that it locks for safety reasons or in its adjustment path can be limited. The central control for both drives can be omitted since the evaluation and control unit takes over its function for the drive assigned to it. The drive is therefore connected directly to the supply network, wiring all drives to a central controller is no longer necessary.
VerfĂĽgen alle Antriebe ĂĽber eine eigene Auswert- und Steuereinheit, kann die Zentralsteuerung auch ganz entfallen und es ist jeweils nur noch ein Anschluss an eine Stromversorgung erforderlich.If all drives have their own evaluation and control unit, the central control can also be omitted entirely and only one connection to a power supply is required.
Besonders bevorzugt ist eine AusfĂĽhrungsform, bei welcher beide oder alle Antriebe ĂĽber eine Auswert- und Steuereinheit mit Positionserfassung verfĂĽgen und die Kommunikationsverbindung bidirektional ausgebildet ist, sodass die beiden Antriebe oder alle Antriebe ihre Ist-Positionen austauschen und ihre Verstellwege im Bedarfsfall an diese Ist-Positionen anpassbar sind.An embodiment is particularly preferred in which both or all drives have an evaluation and control unit with position detection and the communication connection is bidirectional, so that the two drives or all drives exchange their actual positions and, if necessary, their adjustment paths to these actual positions are customizable.
Hierdurch ist eine kontinuierliche Überwachung der Stellungen möglich, sodass eine Kollision von durch die Antriebe verstellten Elementen unter allen Umständen vermieden werden kann. Beispielsweise kann bei einer entsprechend überwachten Anlage ein erster Antrieb auf einen Behang der Verschattungsvorrichtung als Element und der zweite Antrieb auf ein verstellbares Gebäudeelement wirken. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, die Kollision eines Sonnenschutzbehangs mit einem elektrisch verstellbaren Fenster-oder Lüftungselement zu verhindern. Beispielsweise kann der erste Antrieb eine textile Verschattungsvorrichtung und der zweite Antrieb ein in deren Bewegungsbahn verstellbares Tür-oder Fensterelement antreiben, wobei es sich bei der textilen Verschattungsvorrichtung um eine Wintergartenmarkise handeln kann, die im Stellweg eines Ausstellfensters eines Wintergartens, das mit dem zweiten Antrieb koppelbar ist, verfahrbar ist.This enables continuous monitoring of the positions so that a collision between elements adjusted by the drives can be avoided under all circumstances. For example, in a correspondingly monitored system, a first drive can act on a curtain of the shading device as an element and the second drive can act on an adjustable building element. In this way it is possible to prevent a sun protection curtain from colliding with an electrically adjustable window or ventilation element. For example, the first drive can drive a textile shading device and the second drive can drive a door or window element whose movement path can be adjusted, in which case the textile shading device can be a conservatory awning that can be coupled to the second drive in the adjustment path of a hinged window of a conservatory is, is movable.
In gleicher Weise können auch zwei unabhängig voneinander verstellbare Sonnenschutzbehänge und deren Antriebe vor Kollisionen geschützt werden, wenn diese beiden Verschattungsvorrichtungen alternativ wechselweise eine Fläche abdecken sollen.In the same way, two sun protection curtains that can be adjusted independently of one another and their drives can be protected from collisions if these two shading devices are to alternately cover an area.
Anstelle zweier völlig unabhängig voneinander verstellbare Elemente können die beiden Antriebe auch verschiedene Freiheitsgrade einer einzigen Verschattungsvorrichtung antreiben. So kann beispielsweise der erste Antrieb die Ausfahrlänge eines Lamellendaches oder-behanges steuern, während der zweite Antrieb für die Neigungsverstellung der parallel zueinander angeordneten Lamellen zuständig ist. Auf diese Weise wird verhindert, dass bei eingefahrenem Lamellendach die Neigungsverstellung der Lamellen aktiviert werden kann, während umgekehrt bei geschlossener Lamellenstellung ein Einholen des Lamellendaches nicht möglich sein soll. In diesem Fall wird also verhindert, dass einer einzigen Sonnenschutzvorrichtung zugeordnete, gekoppelte Elemente, hier die Lamellen, in bestimmten Behangstellungen miteinander kollidieren können.Instead of two elements that can be adjusted completely independently of one another, the two drives can also drive different degrees of freedom of a single shading device. For example, the first drive can control the extension length of a slatted roof or curtain, while the second drive adjusts the inclination of the parallel Lamellae is responsible. This prevents the tilt adjustment of the slats from being activated when the slat roof is retracted, while conversely it should not be possible to retract the slat roof when the slats are in the closed position. In this case, it is prevented that coupled elements assigned to a single sun protection device, in this case the slats, can collide with one another in certain curtain positions.
Derartige Lamellendächer bilden beispielsweise Teile von freitragenden Konstruktionen zur Aufstellung in Außenbereichen.Such slat roofs form, for example, parts of self-supporting constructions for outdoor use.
Ein einfaches Konzept der Begrenzung des Stellweges kann vorsehen, dass bei einem Erreichen einer Grenzposition wenigstens eines Antriebes ĂĽber die Funkverbindung eine Verriegelung des anderen Antriebes erfolgt.A simple concept for limiting the adjustment path can provide for the other drive to be locked via the radio link when a limit position of at least one drive is reached.
Angewendet auf eine bereits angesprochene Wintergartenmarkise, die von einem ersten Antrieb angetrieben wird, und ein darunter angeordnetes, von dem zweiten Antrieb verstellbares Ausstellfenster bedeutet dies, dass bei einer bidirektionalen Auslegung der Kommunikationsverbindung der Antrieb der Wintermarkise dann nicht mehr betätigt werden kann, wenn das Ausstellfenster sich mit seinem Antrieb in der Ausstellposition befindet. Umgekehrt wird der Antrieb des Ausstellfensters verriegelt, wenn sich der Tuchbehang der Wintergartenmarkise im ausgefahrenen Zustand befindet. Es sind hierbei aber auch weniger restriktive Verrieglungen möglich, indem z.B. bei einem im Randbereich des Wintergartens angeordneten Ausstellfenster die Wintergartenmarkise nicht mehr vollständig, sondern nur noch bis zu einem gewünschten Sicherheitsabstand von dem Ausstellfenster ausfahren lässt. Dies bedeutet, dass der Antrieb der Wintergartenmarkise nicht völlig verriegelt sondern nur der Ausfahrweg des Tuchbehangs begrenzt wird.Applied to a conservatory awning already mentioned, which is driven by a first drive, and a hinged window arranged underneath and adjustable by the second drive, this means that with a bidirectional design of the communication link, the drive of the winter awning can no longer be operated when the hinged window is in the open position with its drive. Conversely, the drive of the hinged window is locked when the fabric of the conservatory awning is extended. However, less restrictive locks are also possible here, e.g. in the case of a hinged window arranged in the edge area of the winter garden, the winter garden awning can no longer be extended completely, but only up to a desired safety distance from the hinged window. This means that the drive of the conservatory awning is not completely locked, only the extension of the fabric is limited.
In einer ergänzenden oder alternativen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass über die Funkverbindung und die Auswerteinheit eine kontinuierliche Anpassung des maximalen Stellweges wenigstens eines Antriebes an die Ist-Position des jeweils anderen Antriebes erfolgt. Auf diese Weise kann der Verstellweg dem tatsächlichen Ist-Zustand angepasst werden, so dass unter allen Betriebszuständen immer noch eine maximale Verstellmöglichkeit des jeweiligen Antriebes gegeben ist.In an additional or alternative embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the maximum adjustment path of at least one drive is continuously adapted to the actual position of the other drive in each case via the radio connection and the evaluation unit. In this way, the adjustment path can be adapted to the actual situation, so that there is still a maximum adjustment possibility for the respective drive under all operating conditions.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine solche Auslegung beispielsweise bei einer Fenster- oder Dachfläche, die wahlweise mit zwei unterschiedlichen Behängen verschattet werden kann, die von zugeordneten separaten Antrieben angetrieben werden. Auch bei dem bereits angesprochenen Lamellendach bietet sich beim Einsatz dieses Konzeptes ein Vorteil dahingehend, dass die maximale Lamellenneigung in Abhängigkeit von der Ausfahrlänge des Lamellendaches begrenzt ist. Bei vollständig ausgefahrenem Dach kann dann der volle Verstellbereich zwischen horizontaler, vollständiger Verschattungsstellung und vertikaler, maximal offener Lamellenstellung zur Verfügung stehen, der sich aber bis zur vollständig eingefahrenen Dachstellung kontinuierlich vermindert, so dass in dieser Stellung selbst kein Verstellen aus der dort vorgesehenen Neigungsposition mehr möglich ist.Such a design is particularly advantageous, for example, in the case of a window or roof area that can be optionally shaded with two different hangings that are driven by assigned separate drives. In the case of the slatted roof already mentioned, the use of this concept also offers an advantage in that the maximum inclination of the slats is limited depending on the extension length of the slatted roof. When the roof is fully extended, the full adjustment range between the horizontal, complete shading position and the vertical, maximum open slat position can be available, which, however, decreases continuously up to the completely retracted roof position, so that in this position itself adjustment from the tilted position provided there is no longer possible is.
Eine weitere, besondere Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass ein frei programmierbarer Datenspeicher wenigstens einer Auswerteinheit zugeordnet ist, in dem Daten zur Begrenzung des Stellweges des zugeordneten Antriebes in Abhängigkeit von Positionssignalen des anderen Antriebes hinterlegbar sind.A further, special embodiment of the invention provides that a freely programmable data memory is assigned to at least one evaluation unit, in which data for limiting the travel of the assigned drive can be stored as a function of position signals from the other drive.
Frei programmierbar bedeutet, dass die Software einen Eingriff erlaubt, mit dem das System den jeweiligen Gegebenheiten um die Verschattungsvorrichtung und die beiden Antriebe anpassbar ist. So kann beispielsweise eine Wintergartenmarkise mit einem entsprechend programmierbaren Datenspeicher zunächst ohne Beschränkungsvorgaben ausgeliefert werden, während dann beim Einbau in das Objekt eine entsprechende softwareseitige Anpassung an ein in dem Wintergarten vorgesehenes Ausstellfenster erfolgen kann, dessen Position bei der Herstellung der Wintergartenmarkise und ihrem Antrieb noch gar nicht bekannt war. Es ist auch eine einfache Anpassung an Toleranzen vor Ort möglich.Freely programmable means that the software allows an intervention with which the system can be adapted to the respective conditions around the shading device and the two drives. For example, a conservatory awning with a correspondingly programmable data memory can initially be delivered without restriction specifications, while then, when it is installed in the object, a corresponding software-side adjustment can be made to a hinged window provided in the conservatory, whose position has not yet been determined during the manufacture of the conservatory awning and its drive was known. A simple adjustment to tolerances on site is also possible.
Um die Funktionssicherheit unter allen Umständen zu gewährleisten, kann es vorteilhaft sein, dass die Kommunikationsverbindung zwischen den beiden Antrieben redundant und/oder mit einer Plausibilisierungsfunktion ausgebildet ist, die die Funktionsfähigkeit der Positionsüberwachung überprüft. Im Falle des Auftretens eines Fehlers können dann einer oder beide Antriebe verriegelt oder in ihrem Stellweg begrenzt werden, so dass unter allen Umständen eine Kollision der Antriebe bzw, der von ihnen angetriebenen Elemente vermieden wird.In order to ensure functional reliability under all circumstances, it can be advantageous for the communication link between the two drives to be redundant and/or designed with a plausibility check function that checks the functionality of the position monitoring. If an error occurs, one or both drives can then be locked or limited in their travel, so that a collision of the drives or the elements driven by them is avoided under all circumstances.
Die Kommunikationsverbindung ist drahtlos als Funk- oder Infrarotverbindung oder als Datenverbindung ĂĽber ohnehin vorhandene Stromversorgungsleitungen (Powerline Communication PLC) aufgebaut.The communication connection is set up wirelessly as a radio or infrared connection or as a data connection via power supply lines that are already present (Powerline Communication PLC).
Während die zuvor beschriebene Vorrichtung grundsätzlich auf jede Art von motorisch angetriebenen Verschattungsvorrichtungen adaptierbar ist, sieht eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung vor, dass die Antriebe neben einer Auswert- und Steuereinheit über jeweils eine Funkschnittstelle verfügen, die neben den Positionssignalen des jeweils anderen Antriebes auch über Funkfernbedienungen gesendete Bediensignale eines Nutzers für die Antriebssteuerung auswerten. In gleicher Weise kann auch beispielsweise eine Powerlinekommunikation mit herkömmlichen Bedienelementen genutzt werden.While the device described above can basically be adapted to any type of motor-driven shading device, a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the drives each have a radio interface in addition to an evaluation and control unit, which, in addition to the position signals of the other drive in each case, also has Evaluate operator control signals sent by radio remote controls for drive control. In the same way, for example, power line communication with conventional control elements can also be used.
Derartige Ausführungsformen kombinieren die erfindungsgemäßen Merkmale mit den üblichen Eigenschaften einer System-Fernbedienung und nutzen - soweit möglich - deren hardwareseitige Ausrüstung. Die Positionssignale eines anderen Antriebes werden dann über eine spezielle Software ausgewertet und bei der Ansteuerung des betreffenden Antriebes zur ggf. erforderlichen Beschränkung des Verstellweges herangezogen.Such embodiments combine the features of the invention with the usual properties of a system remote control and use - as far as possible - the hardware equipment. The position signals from another drive are then evaluated using special software and used when controlling the relevant drive to limit the adjustment path, if necessary.
Auch eine Anpassung der Begrenzung als Folge von Umbau- oder Reparaturmaßnahmen ist ohne Weiteres und ohne großen Eingriff in die Verschattungsvorrichtung selbst möglich, während es bei den bisher bekannten Anlagen dann notwendig wurde, neue Positionsschalter mit zugehöriger Verdrahtung in der Anlage zu montieren.An adaptation of the limit as a result of conversion or repair measures is also possible without further ado and without major intervention in the shading device itself, while in the previously known systems it was then necessary to install new position switches with associated wiring in the system.

Kern der beiden Antriebsvorrichtungen 100 nach dem Stand der Technik, wie sie in
Da nicht beide Antriebe 118, 120 beliebig in alle Stellungen bewegt werden können, ohne dass es -bei dem hier beschriebenen Beispiel - zu einer Kollision benachbarter Lamellen des Lamellendaches kommt, sind Positionserfassungen für die beiden Antriebe in Form von Gebern 124, 126, 128, 130 (in einfachen Fällen nur Endschalter) oder eine Stromerfassung vorgesehen, die einen Anstieg des Versorgungstromes eines Motors 132, 134 beim Anfahren an einen Anschlag (nicht gezeigt) in einer Endlage erfasst. Die entsprechenden Positionssignale werden über die Versorgungsleitungen als Bussignal oder eben als einfacher Stromanstieg an die Steuerung 110 kommuniziert. In den Antrieben 118, 120 können ggf. elektronische Abschalteinrichtungen 138, 140 vorgesehen sein, die den jeweiligen Antrieb beim Erreichen der Endlage abschlaten. Eine weitergehende Steuerungsfunktion haben die Abschalteinrichtungen nicht. Die Steuerung 110 berücksichtigt das Vorliegen bestimmter Positionsinformationen und deaktiviert beispielsweise den Antrieb 120 zur Verstellung der Lamellenneigung, wenn sich das Lamellendach in der eingefahrenen Endstellung befindet oder den Antrieb 118 zur Verstellung der Ausfahrlänge des Lamellendaches, wenn sich die Lamellen im Ausfahrzustand des Daches in einer horizontal geschlossenen Stellung befinden.Since both

Hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel beide Antriebe über Geber 24, 26 zur Positionserfassung wenigstens der Endstellung der Stellwege der beiden Antriebe 18, 20 verfügen. Diese kommunizieren über Funkverbindungen 36 miteinander, so dass die jeweiligen Ist-Positionen zwischen den Auswert- und Steuereinheiten 10, 11 ausgetauscht werden und im jeweils anderen Antrieb zur Verfügung stehen. Dort kann die Auswert- und Steuereinheit 10, 11 dann den zulässigen Verstellweg ihres zugeordneten Antriebes anhand der Position des anderen Antriebes bestimmen und so Kollisionen der Stellelemente, hier der Lamellen, vermeiden. Anstelle der Funkverbindung kann auch jegliche andere Art der Datenkommunikation gewählt werden, z.B. eine Infrarotverbindung oder eine Powerline-Kommunikation über das Versorgungsnetz. Sofern ein bestimmtes Kommunikationssystem zur Steuerung der Antriebe durch den Benutzer vorgesehen ist, z.B. eben eine Funkfernsteuerung 40, wie bei den Ausführungsformen gemäß
Das in
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf eine der vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsformen beschränkt, sondern in vielfältiger Weise abwandelbar. So können beispielsweise auch mehr als zwei Antriebe miteinander im Datenaustausch stehen und softwareseitig gegenseitig ihre Stellwege begrenzen oder sich vollständig verriegeln. Im Rahmen der bereits genannten Ausführungsbeispiele kann dies z.B. ein weiteres Ausstellfenster in einem Wintergarten betreffen oder die Anordnung eines in zwei Freiheitsgraden mit zwei Antrieben verstellbaren Lamellendaches über einem Wintergarten mit einem oder mehreren Ausstellfenstern mit separaten Antrieben, die im geöffneten Zustand in den Verstellbereich der Lamellen des Lamellendaches ragen können.The invention is not limited to one of the embodiments described above, but can be modified in many ways. For example, more than two drives can exchange data with each other and limit each other's travel ranges or lock each other completely. In the context of the exemplary embodiments already mentioned, this can relate, for example, to another hinged window in a conservatory or the arrangement of a slatted roof that can be adjusted in two degrees of freedom with two drives over a winter garden with one or more hinged windows with separate drives which, when open, extend into the adjustment range of the slats of the Louvered roof can protrude.
