Description
- The present invention relates to an improved device for controlling a roll-up roof installation, preferably of a motorized roller blind.
- Rolling curtains of the type comprising a sheet are known which, in the condition of a retracted curtain, is wound on a tubular shaft and in the unfolded curtain condition is unwound from said shaft and is kept extended by its constraint with one side to said tubular shaft and with the opposite side to a rigid crosspiece that can be approached and moved away from the tubular shaft itself. Moreover, suitably, the tubular shaft is supported at both ends in a traditional manner by the fixed external structure.
- In the case of a protruding curtain, the rigid crosspiece is connected to the support structure of the tubular shaft through a pair of articulated arms, while in the case of sliding curtain the rigid crosspiece is made to slide with ends along two fixed parallel guides placed on the sides of the surface that must be able to be covered by the unfolded curtain.
- In the case of protruding curtains it is also provided that the rigid crosspiece may have a conformation such as to cover the awning, when it is wrapped around the tubular shaft, and in this way to constitute a sort of protective box thereof, which in this case is called a boxed tent.
- Independently of the type of curtain, its motorization which leads to the winding of the cloth on the tubular shaft and its unwinding from the tubular shaft is obtained with a traditional electric tubular motor inserted inside the winding shaft and can be controlled, preferably via radio, directly by the user or by light and/or wind sensors. This solution is for example described in the winding covers described in
AU 2014 200269 US2015/362896 andUS2017/101820 . - The motor is controlled by a control unit which is generally positioned externally with respect to the tubular shaft and the tent structure and, in particular, is housed within a casing fixed to the fixed external structure.
- These known solutions have proved to be valid and effective but all entail a difficulty of installation, both due to the need to find the suitable position for the assembly of the control unit, and to the need to carry out the necessary electrical connections between it and the motor it is driving. rotation of the tubular winding and unwinding shaft of the awning fabric.
- Furthermore, the current market requirement is to equip the curtains with lights that can be used to illuminate the surface below the curtain and/or to create courtesy lights and/or to create lighting effects, in particular RGB effects. In particular, to date this requirement is satisfied in the articulated arm awnings by applying these lights, preferably LED lights, to the arms themselves and/or to the rigid crosspiece and/or to the support structure of the curtain, and in the sliding curtains by applying these lights to the guides and/or to the uprights supporting the guides and/or to the other parts of the tent supporting structure.
- However, all this entails the need to create a lighting system with dedicated components which, together with the lights themselves, must be able to be applied to the tent support structure. In particular, a light supply and control unit must be provided, which in the known solutions is external or is inserted in one of the uprights supporting the curtain, if provided. However, these are solutions complex to install, certainly unsatisfactory in particular in the case of curtains with articulated arms and therefore without uprights.
- Tubular motors have also been proposed provided with an output for powering the lights and therefore motors in which the light supply unit is integrated in the motor itself. This is a solution that in practice has at least partially eliminated the difficulty of installing the lighting system but has highlighted some limitations, given that the lights are powered at low voltage (12 or 24V DC) and the power that can be supplied by the lights output of the engine can only power a small amount/number of lights.
-
EP2199484 already describes a solution in which the motor and the lights are controlled and also powered by the same control unit, which is connected to a current-voltage power source. - The object of the invention is to propose a device for controlling a roll-up roof installation, in particular a roller blind, which eliminates the drawbacks encountered in traditional solutions.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a device that optimally combines the motorization functionality of the roll-up cover with that for lighting the underlying area and/or around said covering, or for creating lighting effects.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a device that can be easily installed even by unskilled personnel.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a device that is easy to program and manage.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a device that is independent, autonomous and/or additional with respect to the motorization unit of the roll-up roof installation.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a device that is perfectly in line with the safety requirements imposed by the legislation of the sector.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a device that allows greater integration of the components.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a device that allows the installation of a roll-up cover, in particular of a roller blind, even in places where mounting of the control unit to the external support structure is not possible or is difficult.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a device that can be remotely controlled even from a mobile phone.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a device which is both improved and/or alternative to the traditional ones.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a device which entails low installation costs.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a device that can be obtained in a simple, rapid manner and with low costs.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a roll-up covering installation, in particular a sectional roller blind, which is provided with a control device which is simple to install, easy to program and to manage, and obtainable in a simple, rapid manner. with low costs.
- All these objects and others which will become apparent from the following description, either individually or in any combination thereof, are achieved, according to the invention with a device as defined in
claim 1, as well as by a roll-up covering installation according to claim 12. - The present invention is further clarified hereinafter in some of its preferred embodiments, given by way of a non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 shows a motorized roller blind in a perspective view from below provided with a control device according to the invention, -
Figure 2 shows a perspective view from above and partially in transparency, -
Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the control device according to the invention, -
Figure 4 shows it in longitudinal section schematic within the tubular shaft of a roll-up cover. - As can be seen from the figures, the control device according to the invention, generally designated by the
reference number 26, is applied/mounted, in the example shown, to a roll-up roof installation, in particular a roller blind, indicated as a whole with thereference number 1. - Preferably, the roller blind 1 is of the traditional type. Preferably, the roller blind 1 is motorized but could also be moved manually. In particular, the roller blind 1 is of the type with articulated arms, i.e. it is of the type which comprises a
tubular shaft 2, asupport structure 4 of thetubular shaft 2, asheet 6 which can be wound around thetubular shaft 2 and unwound by this and a supporting structure of saidsheet 6. Preferably, the supporting structure of saidsheet 6 comprises arigid cross-piece 8, to which is applied the edge of thesheet 6 opposite to that bound to thetubular shaft 2, and two pairs of articulatedarms 10, which connect therigid crosspiece 8 to thesupport structure 4 and guide it in its translational movements with respect to it. - Conveniently, the winding/unwinding of the
sheet 6 can take place both along a substantially vertical direction, and along a more or less inclined direction with respect to the vertical. - The
tubular shaft 2 can be for example a metal shaft which, suitably, can have any cross-section. Preferably, thetubular shaft 2 can have a circular or polygonal section, for example hexagonal, octagonal or similar. Conveniently, thetubular shaft 2 is of the type traditionally usable for curtains and/or for rolling shutters. - Preferably, the
support structure 4 can comprise: - a rigid metal band, which appropriately adheres to a fixed external structure (not shown), for example to a wall of a building,
- a first pair of
brackets 14 for fixing the rigid band to the fixed external structure, and - a second pair of
brackets 16,16' , preferably shaped like wings, which extend from said rigid band towards the outside and which suitably support at the ends thetubular shaft 2 which is advantageously provided with all the necessary components for its proper functioning, as will be described further below. - Suitably, the
sheet 6 can be of any traditional type and does not require further explanation. - Conveniently, the
rigid crosspiece 8 can be constituted by a piece of metal or plastic profile and can have any section. Preferably, therigid crosspiece 8 is shaped so that when the curtain is in a wound condition, it adheres to thesupport structure 4 and forms with it a sort of container or "box", which houses inside it thetubular shaft 2, thesheet 6 wound on it and the articulatedarms 10, which are in the folded condition. - Conveniently,
lighting elements 18 are mounted on the roller blind 1. Advantageously, thelighting elements 18 can be mounted on any component of the roller blind 1 and in any position thereof. More particularly, thelighting elements 18 can be mounted on thesupport structure 4 and/or on the articulatedarms 10 and/or on therigid crosspiece 8 and/or on thetubular shaft 2 and/or also on thesheet 6. Preferably, thelighting elements 18 are to be mounted on the rigid elements of the roller blind 1, such as thesupport structure 4 and/or the articulatedarms 10 and/or thetubular shaft 2 and/or therigid crosspiece 8 - Advantageously, as described in more detail in detail subsequently, the
lighting elements 18 are connected - preferably by means of cables/wires connecting to an electrical connection - to thecontrol device 26 housed in thetubular shaft 2. Preferably, the electrically connecting conductor cables run inside the components of the roller blind 1 and, therefore, they are hidden from view from the outside. - Advantageously, the
lighting elements 18 are light sources and, preferably, are strips of LEDs that define monochromatic and/or RGB light sources. Preferably, the lighting elements are supplied with direct current, for example at 12V, 24V, 36V or 48V. - In particular, the
lighting elements 18 consist of at least one strip of LEDs which comprises a set of LED diodes, i.e. electronic components which emit light when supplied with electricity. Conveniently, the LED diodes are fixed - preferably by welding - on a printed circuit (PCB), preferably flexible, which performs the function of support and electrical connection. Advantageously, the LED diodes of the LED strip can be configured to emit monochromatic light or can be of the RGB type. - Advantageously, in the example shown in the figures, at the lower edge of the
support structure 4, at the lower edge of the articulatedarms 10 and at the lower edge of therigid cross-piece 8 are applied strips ofLED 18 which globally form diffuse sources of monochromatic light or RGB light and are connected to thecontrol device 26 housed in thetubular shaft 2 by means of electrical connecting conducting cables running inside therigid crosspiece 8 and the articulatedarms 10, and/or the other rigid components of theroller blind 1. - Suitably, the
roller blind 1 comprises means configured to cause rotation in the two directions of thetubular shaft 2, thus allowing to cover and unwind thecovering sheet 6 having a flap fixed to said shaft. - Advantageously, a
motorization unit 20 is inserted in thetubular shaft 2 to cause rotation of the shaft itself in both directions. Preferably, thismotorization unit 20 is inserted into thetubular shaft 2 at afirst end 19 thereof. Conveniently, themotorization unit 20 comprises at least one electric drive/drive motor inserted within the tubular shaft itself. Preferably, said at least one electric motor is tubular. - Conveniently, the
motorization unit 20 can comprise one or two electric motors in direct current. Conveniently, themotorization unit 20 can comprise one or two electric motors in alternating current. Conveniently, themotorization unit 20 can comprise an electric motor in direct current and an electric motor in alternating current. Preferably, said direct current electric motors are fed for example with direct current at 12V, 24V, 36V or 48V. Preferably, said or said electric motors in alternating current are of the single-phase asynchronous type. - Conveniently, the
motorization unit 20 is provided with ahead 22 which is suitably fixed with any known system to thesupport structure 4, preferably it is fixed to thewing bracket 16 of the latter. Preferably, themotorization unit 20 is also provided with an output pinion to which an adapter 24 (pulley) for towing thetubular shaft 2 is coupled, cooperating in a conventional manner with an analogous, un towed adapter which is mounted in the vicinity of saidhead 22. - Alternatively, means can be provided - which can be manually operated and actuated - configured to cause rotation in both directions of the
tubular shaft 2. Suitably, these means are configured to cause rotation in both directions of thetubular shaft 2 can be constituted by a traditional winch that can be operated manually or with an electric motor applied to it. - The
device 26 for controlling themotorization unit 20 and/or thelighting elements 18 comprises acasing 27 which, advantageously, has a box-like shape and is preferably long and narrow. - Preferably, the
casing 27 has a base with dimensions of a few centimetres (for example of about 2.5 cm x 3 cm) and a longitudinal extension much greater than about 10 cm, for example is about 60 cm. - Conveniently, therefore, the
control device 26 is substantially independent and autonomous from a constructive and positioning point of view both with respect to themotorization unit 20 of the roll-up cover installation and with respect to thelighting elements 18. - Advantageously, the
casing 27 of thedevice 26 thus shaped can potentially be associated externally with any rigid element of theroller blind 1, such as thesupport structure 4 and/or the articulatedarms 10 and/or thetubular shaft 2 and/or therigid crosspiece 8, or it can be fixed to the fixed external structure to which theroller blind 1 is applied, or it can be fixed in an adjacent area with respect to saidroller blind 1 or to said fixed external structure. - Advantageously, the
casing 27 of thedevice 26 thus shaped can be potentially inserted and housed inside asupport bar 50 with a square or rectangular section (seefig. 1 ) which is fixed to the fixed external structure to which the roller blind is applied. - Advantageously, the
casing 27 of thedevice 26 thus shaped can be potentially inserted and housed alone inside any rigid element of theroller blind 1, such as thesupport structure 4 and/or the articulatedarms 10 and/or thetubular shaft 2 and/or therigid crosspiece 8. - Advantageously, the
casing 27 of thedevice 26 can be inserted inside a second casing 28 (seefig. 2 and4 ), preferably tubular, which is removably inserted inside of thetubular shaft 2 or in any rigid element of theroller blind 1, such as thesupport structure 4 and/or the articulatedarms 10 and/or therigid crosspiece 8. Conveniently, it is understood that the shape of thecasing 27 is not connected to that of thesecond casing 28 although obviously having to be compatible with this. In particular, thecasing 27 has a shape and dimensions suitable for allowing its insertion and housing inside thesecond casing 28. Suitably, the stability of the positioning of thecasing 27 inside thesecond casing 28 is obtained by means of suitable adapters (not represented). - Advantageously, the
casing 27 is inserted, preferably inside thesecond casing 28, at theother end 21 of thetubular shaft 2. Preferably, at oneend 19 of thetubular shaft 2 is inserted and housed themotor motorization unit 20 of the shaft itself while at theother end 21 of thetubular shaft 2 can be inserted and housed thecontrol device 26 of thelighting elements 18 mounted on at least one component of the roll-upcover installation 1. - Advantageously, in the embodiment in which the
casing 27 is inserted inside thesecond casing 28, the following can be provided: - means 30 for connecting said
second casing 28 to the external fixed support structure (not shown), and - means 24' , 24" which are interposed between said
second casing 28 and thetubular shaft 2 and which are configured to allow saidsecond casing 28 to idly support saidtubular shaft 2, i.e. so as to decouple the rotation of thetubular shaft 2 from thesecond casing 28, thus allowing saidtubular shaft 2 to rotate about its longitudinal development axis while thesecond casing 28 remains fixed/stationary. - Conveniently, the means for fixing the
second casing 28 to said external support structure comprise ahead 30 which is applied to saidsecond casing 28 so as to fix it to the other wing bracket 16' of thesupport structure 4. In particular, thehead 30 integrates thesecond casing 28 to the fixed external support structure, thus supporting thetubular shaft 2 at itsend 21. - Advantageously, said means which are interposed between said
second casing 28 and thetubular shaft 2 compriseadapters 24' , 24" configured to allow thesecond casing 28 to idly support thetubular shaft 2. Advantageously, theadapters 24', 24" are positioned around thesecond casing 28 and rotate, together with thetubular shaft 2, around said casing, which instead remains fixed (i.e. does not rotate). - Preferably, a pair of
support adapters 24' and 24" are provided which are interposed between the opposite sides of thesecond casing 28 and thetubular shaft 2. In particular, an adapter 24' is provided on the inner side of thesecond casing 28 and anadapter 24" on the external side of said casing. - Preferably, both the
head 30 and theadapters 24', 24" have a shape similar to that of thehead 22 and the adapters of themotorization unit 20, respectively, but unlike the latter they have the sole function of idle support of thetubular shaft 2 at itsend 21 which is opposite to theinsertion end 19 of saidmotorization unit 20. - Basically, suitably, the
second casing 28 supports thetubular shaft 2 at theend 21 of the latter, end which is opposite to the one (end 19) in which themotorization unit 20 is inserted. Furthermore, appropriately, thesecond casing 28 is fixed by thehead 30 to the fixed external support structure and, therefore, supports thetubular shaft 2 without rotating with the latter, which is in fact set in rotation, by themotorization unit 20, around an axis that crosses it longitudinally. - Conveniently, it is understood that the shape and the dimensions of the
second casing 28 are not linked to those of thetubular shaft 2 although obviously they must be compatible with those. In particular, thesecond casing 28 has a shape and dimensions suitable for allowing its insertion and housing inside thetubular shaft 2. Suitably, the stability of the positioning of thesecond casing 28 inside thetubular shaft 2 is obtained by means of theadapters 24' and 24". - Conveniently, the
control device 26 according to the invention comprises apower supply unit 34, acontrol unit 35 and areceiver 36 which is connected or incorporated in said unit. - Advantageously, inside the
casing 27 is housed thepower supply 34 which is configured to supply at the output the electric power supply suitable for the motorization unit and/or for thelighting elements 18. - Advantageously, the
power supply 34 housed in thecasing 27 can receive in input the electric power supply from the outside, preferably it is fed directly through acable 38 connected to an external electric source (not shown), preferably it is connected to the network. - It is also envisaged that, alternatively, the
power supply 34 housed in thecasing 27 may receive in input the electric power supply from one ormore batteries 42 which, preferably, can be recharged with one or more externalphotovoltaic panels 44 which, suitably, can be mounted on theroller blind 1 and/or can be external and independent from the latter. - In a variant not shown, the
rechargeable battery 42 can advantageously be housed inside thecasing 27 or thesecond casing 28. - Advantageously, on the side wall of the
casing 27 or of the second casing 28 a first door can be provided to access the external to the inside of the casing itself, for example in order to access - if provided - therechargeable battery 42. Advantageously, a second door (not shown) may also be provided in thetubular shaft 2 to access the first door formed in the casing. Conveniently, it is understood that the first door of thecasing 27 or of thesecond casing 28 and the second door of thetubular shaft 2 face each other. Obviously, this accessibility requires that thedevice 26 is correctly inserted into thetubular shaft 2 and that the curtain is unfolded, i.e. that thesheet 6 is unwound from thetubular shaft 2 and does not cover the second the flap. - Advantageously, the same
rechargeable battery 42 can also supply themotorization unit 20, preferably by means of an inverter, also housed inside thecasing 27 or thesecond casing 28. Suitably, in this case, theentire roller blind 1 can be also installed in places where mains power is not available. Advantageously, it is in any case provided that themotorization unit 20 can be supplied through an external low voltage supply, again by means of an inverter. - Advantageously, the
power supply 34 comprises a transformer 37 configured to provide at its output a power lower than or equal to about 240W and which, suitably, is substantially sufficient to supply either only themotorization unit 20 or only thelighting elements 18. In in particular, the transformer 37 is configured to provide a power output of about 60W-240W, preferably of about 150W-240W. - Advantageously, inside the
casing 27 is also housed the control unit 35 (for example a processor) of themotorization unit 20 and/or of thelighting elements 18. Conveniently, thecontrol unit 35 is electrically connected with thepower supply 34 and, preferably, the output of thepower supply 34 is connected to the input of thecontrol unit 35. - Conveniently, the
control device 26 also comprises means which electrically connect the control unit 35 (housed in the casing 27) with themotorization unit 20 externally with respect to thetubular winding shaft 2, i.e. it does not cross the shaft internally and longitudinally. In particular, thecontrol unit 35 is connected to the motors of themotorization unit 20 by means offirst wiring 29 which protrudes from thecasing 27. Preferably, thefirst wiring 29 comprises conducting cables for connecting and transmitting electrical signals. Conveniently, thewiring 29 comprise a first cable 31' for connection to a direct current electric motor of themotor motorization unit 20 and asecond cable 31" for connection to an electric motor in alternating current of themotor motorization unit 20. - Preferably, the electrical connections between the
control device 26 and themotorization unit 20 are external to thetubular shaft 2 and are advantageously carried out at the place of production, so that this may leave a finished product. - In particular, the control unit 35 (housed in the casing 27) is connected by means of the
first wiring 29 with afirst output interface 30 provided outside the casing 27 (and of the possible second casing 28) and, suitably , saidfirst interface 30 is in turn connected by means of a suitable wiring (not shown), which runs externally with respect to thetubular shaft 2, to the motors of themotorization unit 20 which is positioned inside thetubular shaft 2 at thefirst end 19. - Preferably, the command/communication drivers are implemented in the
control unit 35 with saidfirst output interface 30 connected to the motors of themotorization unit 20. - Conveniently, the
control device 26 comprises also means which electrically connect the control unit 35 (housed in the casing 28) with thelighting elements 18. In particular, thecontrol unit 35 is connected to thelighting elements 18 by means ofsecond wiring 33 which protrude from thecasing 27 and, advantageously, run inside the rigid elements of thecovering installation 1. Preferably, thesecond wiring 33 comprisesconductor cables 39 for connecting and transmitting signals electric. Conveniently, thecontrol unit 35 housed in thecasing 27 is also connected, by means of thesecond wiring 33, to asecond output interface 40 which is provided outside of the casing 27 (and of the possible second casing 28) and which in turn is connected to thelighting elements 18 by means ofsuitable conducting cables 47 which, advantageously, run inside the rigid elements of thecovering installation 1. - Preferably, in the
control unit 35 are implemented the control/communication drivers with theoutput interface 40 connected to thelighting elements 18. - Advantageously, the
control unit 35 housed in thecasing 27 can also be connected to further output interfaces (not shown), in turn connected - by means of suitable wiring external to the tubular shaft 2 - to external elements (safety devices, wired controls, possible acoustic diffusion system). - Preferably, the
receiver 36 is also provided inside thecasing 27 and is connected, via wireless and/or wire, to the outside of saidroller blind 1 to receive control signals from the outside to control, based on these, saidmotorization unit 20 and saidlighting elements 18. - Advantageously, the
receiver 36 is of the wireless type, preferably radio. Conveniently, by means of thereceiver 36 thecontrol unit 35 can receive from an external transmitter, and in particular from a remote control or even from a mobile telephone (preferably a smartphone) or from other traditional wireless devices in general, control signals for themotorization unit 20 andlighting elements 18. Suitably, for this purpose, thereceiver 36 is connected and/or incorporated to the electronic circuit of thecontrol unit 35 to be operatively connected to the control/communication drivers of thefirst output interface 30 connected to themotorization unit 20 and thesecond output interface 40 connected to thelighting elements 18. - Advantageously, according to further development, the receiver can be connected to a centralized or distributed automated home, and to send it, preferably via Wi-Fi and via the Internet protocol, to an external portable device, or to a cloud storage accessible from the external portable device, in addition to monitoring its operation. Conveniently, the connection between the
receiver 36 and the home automation unit can take place via cable or wireless, in particular by radio waves (for example wi-fi or according to the Bluetooth protocol). - Advantageously, the
receiver 36 can be connected, via wireless and/or by wire, to light, wind and/or rain sensors. - The
control unit 35 is configured so that, if and when an activation command of themotorization unit 20 is received while thelighting elements 18 are powered, the electrical energy for supplying thelighting elements 18 is automatically reduced, thus also reducing the brightness generated by these elements. Conveniently, the reduction of electrical energy for supplying thelighting elements 18 thus allows the use of all the power of the transformer 37 of thepower supply 34 for the current source of themotorization unit 20. - Suitably, the
control unit 35 is configured in such a way that, in a condition in which thelighting elements 18 are already supplied, the receipt of an activation command for themotorization unit 20 automatically causes the reduction of the electric power supply of saidlighting elements 18, and then reducing the brightness generated by these. - Conveniently, the reduction of the electric power supply of the
lighting elements 18 which occurs upon receipt of the activation command for themotorization unit 20 is such as to reach a minimum value of electric power supply for saidlighting elements 18. Suitably, this reduction in the electric power supply of thelighting elements 18 is preset and, preferably, can be defined during the installation by the installer, acting through an external transmitter, in particular by means of a smartphone-type mobile telephone, as described more in detail below. - Conveniently, this reduction in the electric power supply of the
lighting elements 18 which occurs upon receipt of the activation command for themotorization unit 20 is automatically defined by suitable algorithms which are implemented inside thecontrol unit 35 and which advantageously, also take into consideration the external environmental conditions in which the aforementioned activation command was received. - Advantageously, this activation command is received by the
control unit 35 through thereceiver 36. - Conveniently, this activation command can be a command signal sent by an external transmitter, and in particular by a remote control or even a mobile telephone, preferably a smartphone, or from other traditional wireless devices in general.
- Conveniently, this activation command can be a command signal sent by an external sensor, in particular by a light, wind and/or rain sensor.
- Preferably, the
control unit 35 is configured so that, in a condition in which thelighting elements 18 are already supplied, the reception of an activation command for themotorization unit 20 automatically causes: - first the reduction of the electric power supply of said
lighting elements 18, and - only subsequently the power supply of said
motorization unit 20 is started. - In this way, the electric power which the
control unit 35 sends to thelighting elements 18 is reduced, so that at the output of thepower supply 34 there is sufficient electricity to be sent to themotorization unit 20 for its activation/supply. In other words, a portion of the electric power used to power thelighting elements 18 is diverted to themotorization unit 20 so as to have sufficient power to enable it to be activated. - The
receiver 36 can advantageously be replaced by a transceiver, preferably radio, which in addition to sending corresponding command signals to themotorization unit 20 and to thelighting elements 18 can remotely communicate their status and, preferably, also the operating parameters or any anomalies or malfunctions. In particular, for this purpose, in addition to controlling/communicating - by means of its receiver side - with thefirst output interface 30 connected to themotorization unit 20 and with thesecond output interface 40 connected to thelighting elements 18 , can transmit - with its transmitter side - signals on the state of saidmotorization unit 20 and/or of saidlighting elements 18. Basically, suitably, in this way the user can remotely control, for example by means of a mobile phone (preferably a smartphone), the switching on and off and adjustment of thelighting elements 18 and of themotorization unit 20 and can receive, again with the mobile phone (preferably a smartphone), information on their current status. Conveniently, the transceiver is connected and/or incorporated to the electronic circuit of thecontrol unit 35 to be operatively connected to the control/communication drivers of thefirst output interface 30 connected to themotorization unit 20 and thesecond output interface 40 connected to thelighting elements 18. - Advantageously, in the case of an external portable device such as a smartphone or tablet, a software module is loaded and executed in said device - which preferably consists of a native mobile software application, also known as APP - configured to connect wireless with the
receiver 36 for managing and setting thecontrol unit 35 as well as for controlling the switching on and off and adjustment of themotorization unit 20 orlighting elements 18. - Preferably, the software module is configured to allow the user to set the reduction in the
control unit 35 of the brightness of thelighting elements 18, and therefore of the electrical energy required for their supply, which is carried out automatically by said control unit 35 (when saidlighting elements 18 are already supplied) following the reception of a command for the activation of themotorization unit 20. - From the aforementioned it is clear that the control device according to the invention is somewhat advantageous and in particular:
- it is potentially suitable for being removably inserted and integrated within any component of the curtain-bearing structures of different types or within a suitable bar fixed to said supporting structure or to other adjacent external structures,
- thanks to its integration in the casing it makes its installation quite simple and rapid, since it requires only the insertion of the casing inside a component of the roof installation or its fixing to the exterior of said component or to an adjacent structure and the connection of the device to the motorization unit and to the lighting elements and, if provided, to the external mains supply,
- although having a small size enclosure, it also allows to manage the power supply of both the motorization unit and the lighting elements,
- it is easily controllable and can be controlled from the outside, and
- if it uses photovoltaic panels it makes the control device independent and more generally the entire roof installation from the external power grid.
