EP3816379B1 - Detector of the position of a mobile fitting of a frame - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a position detector of a mobile fitting, the mobile fitting being carried by an edge belonging to an opening or to a frame of a frame such as a door, a window or a shutter, and relates to a frame equipped with such a detector.

There is a known position detector for a fitting pin of a tilt-and-turn window, which fits into the narrow gap between the opening and the frame of the window, the detector being fixed on the edge of the window. opening. The fitting pin, projecting from the edge, is movable along the edge under the action of the window handle, between a flapping position of the sash, a position of oscillation of the sash, and a position where the sash is kept closed.

Such a position detector described by DE 44 44 839 C1 comprises a transmission unit, comprising a box mounted on the edge of the sash and a bent rod, partially housed in the box and moved in translation by the pin of the sash. The rod is held in abutment against the pin by a spring contained in the case. The rod carries a metal plate, which comes opposite a detection unit carried by the frame, to detect the position of the rod and thus determine the position of the pin. The detection unit is wired to a remote power supply and operating circuit. In this known detector, the stem emerging from the casing can be straight or bent, such that the metal plate is offset with respect to the outer end of the stem. This elbow allows the movement of the rod avoiding a protruding locking housing at the edge of the frame.

However, the detector DE 44 44 839 C1 concerning a door frame with a pivoting sash comprises a remote detection unit, in other words a detector in two parts, which does not concern itself with the integration of batteries and a printed circuit in the housing housing the rod. On the other hand, it is necessary to provide a large space to accommodate the movement in translation of the bent part of the rod. Finally, the outer part of the rod is only slightly guided in translation.

DE 20 2012 007 916 U1 describes an actuator with a housing integrated into an edge of a door frame, to actuate a latch.

The invention therefore aims to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a new independent position detector that is easier to install on the door frame.

The subject of the invention is a position detector for a movable fitting, the movable fitting being carried by an edge belonging to an opening or a frame of a frame such as a door, a window or a shutter, the detector comprising: a casing, which is configured to be fixed to the edge and which comprises two longitudinal ends traversed by a longitudinal axis of the casing; a bent rod, which is movable in translation relative to the casing along the longitudinal axis and which comprises: a feeler part, which is parallel to the longitudinal axis and which extends at least partially outside the casing, the bent rod being configured to be actuated in translation by the movable fitting via the feeler part; a rear part, which extends inside the casing, the rear part being transversely offset with respect to the feeler part; an intermediate part, which connects the feeler part to the rear part and which extends transversely to the feeler part. The position detector also comprises electronic means, which comprise: a position sensor system, generating position information as a function of the position in translation of the bent rod, and a position information transmitter. According to the invention, the detector further comprises at least one battery; the intermediate part, said at least one battery and the electronic means are arranged inside the case; and said at least one battery is arranged, along the longitudinal axis, between the electronic means and the intermediate part of the bent rod.

An idea underlying the invention is to take advantage of a bent shape of the rod and its integration into a housing of a position detector, so that the transverse part and the rear part of said rod bypass said au least one battery, so that the rear part reaches the electronic means, in particular the position sensor system, and so that the front part moves in the same plane as the frame fitting. The transverse part, said at least one battery and the electronic means are thus arranged in the casing successively along the longitudinal axis, dimension along which the available space is generally the greatest. Conventional batteries are generally elongated, so that it is easy to provide a longitudinal passage, transversely between said at least one battery and a longitudinal wall of the case, the longitudinal passage being crossed by the rear part, itself transversely narrow, so that the rear part connects the transverse part to the electronic means. The transverse part since the rod is received inside the case, it is protected from the outside and less likely to be broken, especially during transport or during installation of the detector. As the detector embeds, in a single unit, all the means necessary for its operation, the mounting of the detector on the frame is facilitated by requiring only the fixing of the single box on the edge.

Advantage is also taken of such a bent rod for reasons of spatial size of the position detector, the gap between the leaf and the frame being particularly small, making it necessary to move the rod part outside. of the housing in the plane in which the fitting moves. Thus, the detector housing can be housed in a bore formed on the edge of the leaf, while the fitting is located on the surface of the edge, the bent shape of the rod making it possible to reach the fitting.

Other optional and advantageous features of the invention are defined as follows.

Preferably, the box comprises a front wall connecting the two longitudinal ends together, the front wall being intended to be turned in the opposite direction of the edge when the box is fixed to said edge; and the front wall carries an access opening to said at least one battery.

Preferably, the detector comprises a movable drawer, in which said at least one battery is received, the movable drawer being movable relative to the housing, between: a closed position, in which the movable drawer closes the opening and in which said at least one battery is positioned inside the housing; and an open position, in which the movable drawer projects out of the casing through the opening, making said at least one battery accessible from outside the casing, in the vicinity of the front wall.

Preferably, the feeler part extends along the front wall; and the rear portion extends along a bottom wall of the housing, the bottom wall being parallel and opposite the front wall.

Preferably, in which the rear part passes through a longitudinal passage delimited inside the casing, the longitudinal passage being bordered, transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis, by said at least one battery and by the bottom wall.

Preferably, the electronic means comprise: a primary electronic card carrying the position sensor system, the primary electronic card extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and perpendicular to the front wall; and a secondary electronic card bearing at least part of the transmitter, the secondary electronic card extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and parallel to the front wall.

Preferably, the electronic means comprise a detector programming button, which is carried by the secondary electronic card so as to be able to be actuated by a user from the front wall outside the casing.

Preferably, the casing comprises two lugs for fixing the casing to the edge, each lug protruding from one of the two longitudinal ends of the casing while being coplanar with a plane of lugs, which is oriented parallel to the front wall.

Preferably, the detector comprises an elastically deformable tab, for fixing the casing on the edge, which extends outside the casing.

Preferably, the tab and one of the lugs are arranged parallel to one of the longitudinal ends, so that the detector can be fixed to the edge by pinching the edge between the tab and said lug.

Preferably, the lug comprises two legs defining between them an opening configured to receive a rib belonging to the frame and formed on the surface of the edge, when the detector is mounted on the edge.

Preferably, the electronic means comprise a magnetometer and/or an accelerometer.

Preferably, the detector comprises a feeler tip assembled on the feeler part of the bent rod.

Preferably, a thickness of the feeler tip is greater than a thickness of the feeler part of the bent rod.

The invention also relates to a frame, such as a door, a window or a shutter, comprising: the detector as described above; the frame; the sash, which is movably mounted on the fixed frame; and the mobile fitting, carried by the edge belonging to the fixed frame or to the opening, the casing being fixed to said edge, the feeler part of the bent rod of the detector being actuated in translation by the mobile fitting.

According to the first embodiment, the figures 1 to 5 show a position detector 12 which is intended to be integrated into a sliding frame 1, which is shown partially, very schematically, in broken lines on the figure 1 And 2 . The frame 1 comprises a sliding sash 3 and a frame 4 on which the sash 3 is slidably mounted. The frame 1 is preferably a window. Alternatively, the frame 1 is a door, for example a French window or bay window, or even a pocket door. Alternatively again, the frame 1 is a sliding shutter, or any other similar sliding frame, in particular applicable to a building.

As detailed below, detector 12 is particularly suitable for a sliding leaf frame. However, the detector 12 can be integrated into a frame with a pivoting leaf, that is to say a swinging and/or swinging one.

The frame 4 is a fixed part of the frame 1 and forms a frame delimiting an opening, such as a bay, of a building or of an inhabitable structure. The fixed frame 4 extends in a plane parallel to a longitudinal axis X20 of the frame 1 and to a transverse axis Z20 of the frame 1. The axes X20 and Z20 are perpendicular. The frame 4 comprises, in its inner contour, an edge 6, which belongs to an internal peripheral surface of the frame 4, delimiting part of its inner contour. Edge 6 extends, for its longest dimension, parallel to axis X20.

The opening 3 forms a panel, preferably glazed, which extends in a plane parallel to the axis X20 and to the axis Z20 of the frame 1. The opening 3 comprises an edge 5, which constitutes a part of the outer contour surface of the opening 3. The edge 5 of the opening 3 is, for its longest dimension, parallel to the axis X20. Edge 5 faces edge 6 of frame 4.

Since the frame 1 has a sliding sash, the sash 3 slides relative to the frame 4, that is to say translates, along the axis Z20, between an open position, in which the edges 5 and 6 are spaced apart along the axis Z20, so as to leave free a part of the opening delimited by the frame 4 of the frame 1, and a closed position, in which the edge 5 comes against the edge 6, so that the opening 3 closes the opening of frame 1. On the figure 1 , the opening 3 is in the open position. Various intermediate positions can be provided, in particular a locked ventilation position.

The opening 3 is equipped with a fitting 112, which is for example formed by a cremone bolt. More generally, the fitting 112 is an internal mechanism of the opening 3, which is movable relative to the edge 5. Preferably, the fitting 112 is movable relative to the edge 5 along the axis X20, in translation or in tilting, between a functional position for locking the sash 3 and a functional position for unlocking the sash 3. Depending on the situation, other functional positions of the fitting 112 may be provided. When the opening 3 is in the closed position, placing the fitting 112 in the locking position locks the opening 3 in the closed position. For this, the fitting 112 advantageously comprises a hook or a pin which protrudes from the edge 5 of the opening 3, and which, in the locking position, cooperates mechanically with a corresponding part such as a striker plate or a stirrup, carried by canto 6 dormant 4, by clinging to it or entering it.

The sash 3 is advantageously equipped with a handle, operable by a user, the handle mechanically actuating the movement of the fitting 112 by an internal mechanical linkage of the sash 3. Alternatively or in addition, the fitting 112 can be actuated by via an electromechanical actuator fitted to the frame 1.

In the rest of the description, the detection of the position of an end of the espagnolette 113 belonging to the fitting 112 by the position detector 12 is mentioned. However, depending on the application, the detector 12 can be designed to detect the position of any point of the fitting 112, in particular of a hook or a pin of the fitting 112, set in motion by the handle or by the electromechanical actuator, and for which a locking position of the opening 3 is detectable by the position detector 12.

In the present example, it is mentioned that the fitting 112 and the detector 12 are carried by the edge 5 of the opening 3. Alternatively, the detector 12 can also be fitted to a frame whose fitting is carried by the edge of the frame , the detector 12 then being mounted on the edge of the frame and operating in a manner similar, mutatis mutandis, to that described here. Alternatively, it is also possible to install the detector 12 on a frame whose fitting is carried by the edge of the frame, while the detector is mounted on the edge of the opening. Alternatively, it is also possible to install the detector 12 on a frame whose fitting is carried by the edge of the opening, while the detector is mounted on the edge of the frame.

The detector 12 essentially comprises a housing 20, a bent rod 22, electronic means 24, visible to figures 2 to 5 , and at least one battery 30, or even two batteries 30 and 30', visible to figures 2 to 4 .

The box 20 is configured to be fixed to the edge 5, preferably by being received in a blind bore 7, or knockout, of the edge 5, visible on the picture 2 . This edge 5 is preferably the free edge of the sash 3 when the latter is open, this edge being facing the fixed frame when the sash 3 is closed. The bore 7 is formed in a surface S5 of the edge, the surface S5 being preferably parallel to the axis X20 and to a transverse axis Y20 of the frame, and being turned in the direction of the edge 6. The axis Y20 is perpendicular to axes X20 and Z20. The bore 7 can allow access to a hollow area provided in the framework of the frame, or be a bore 7 in a solid frame.

In the present example, the casing 20 is of generally parallelepipedal shape, being of elongated shape along the longitudinal axis X20. Preferably, in the case of a frame with a sliding leaf, the casing 20 is thin along the axis Y20, compared to the other dimensions. As a variant, in particular for the case of a frame with a pivoting leaf, the housing is thin along the axis Z20. The box 20 encloses the battery or batteries 30, 30', the electronic means 24 and part of the rod 22.

Along the longitudinal axis X20, the casing 20 comprises two longitudinal ends 101 and 102. The ends 101 and 102 are both traversed by the axis X20. The end 101 is turned in a direction X51 along the axis X20, called the "forward direction", while the end 102 is turned in a direction X52 along the axis X20, called the "rear direction", opposite to the direction X51. At the end 101, the casing 20 forms a transverse wall 45, called the front wall or outlet wall, which preferably has a rounded fillet shape, the shape being centered on an axis parallel to the axis Z20, to correspond to the shape of the bore 7. At the end 102, the housing 20 comprises a transverse wall 46, or rear wall, of shape similar to the front wall 45.

The box 20 comprises longitudinal walls connecting the walls 45 and 46 and extending parallel to the axis X20, including a front wall 41, a bottom wall 42, a side wall 43 and a side wall 44. The walls 41 and 42 are parallel to axes X20 and Y20 and face away from each other. The walls 43 and 44 are parallel to the axes X20 and Z20 and face away from each other. The walls 43 and 44 interconnect the walls 41 and 42. Ultimately, the walls 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 and 46 constitute an essentially closed envelope for the detector 12. Preferably, the walls 42, 43, 44 , 45 and 46 are formed by a single piece in one piece of the housing 20, while the wall 41 constitutes an attached part or subassembly, for example snapped or screwed onto the rest of the housing 20.

As shown on the figure 1 And 2 , when the box 20 is fixed on the edge 5, the front wall 41 is turned in the direction of the edge 6, that is to say opposite the edge 5. Also, the box 20 is partially received by the bore 7, in the sense that the front wall 41 is left free, unlike the bottom wall 42 which is turned in the direction of the edge 5, in particular in the direction of the bottom of the bore 7. Preferably, the housing 20 is partially received by the bore 7 so as to partially protrude therefrom along the axis Z20. The fillet shape of the ends 101 and 102 corresponds to the shape of the bore 7, the ends of which along the axis X20 are generally rounded inside fillet.

To be fixed to the edge 5, the casing 20 comprises fixing means. Here, the fixing means comprise two fixing lugs 27 and 27', each carried by one of the ends 101 and 102. Each lug 27 and 27' advantageously extends along a plane P27 shown on the picture 2 , parallel to the axes X20 and Y20. The P27 plane can be qualified as an “ear plane”. Each lug 27 and 27' can bear against the surface S5 of the edge 5, the lugs 27 and 27' being advantageously coplanar. The plane P27 is advantageously parallel to the front wall 41. The lug 27 protrudes from the wall 45 in the direction X51 along the axis X20. Ear 27 protrudes from wall 46 in direction X52 along axis X20. Each lug 27 and 27' is fixed using a screw, not shown, or any similar fixing means, implanted in the surface S5 of the edge 5. Alternatively, a single lug 27 is fixed using a screw, the other lug serves as a wedge under the surface S5 of the edge 5. The detector must then be installed first by housing the lug 27' under the surface S5 of the edge, at the end of the bore 7, then fixing the ear 27 by the screw on the edge 5. The two lugs 27 and 27' are then preferentially in two parallel planes but offset from each other in the direction Z20. Once fixed, the plane P27 advantageously becomes coplanar or parallel to the surface S5. The lugs 27 and 27' are here integral with the walls 45 and 46 respectively, but fastening means attached to the case 20, such as clips, could be provided.

As a variant, the detector 12 comprises a fixing clamp separate from the housing 20, which is fixed to the outer surface of the edge 5 at the end of the bore 7 using a screw or any other fixing means. similar. The box 20 is fixed to the edge 5 by means of the fixing clamp, for example by snapping the lug 27 onto said clamp.

A mobile drawer 61 receives the battery 30, or the batteries 30 and 30'. The movable drawer 61 is movable relative to the housing 20 in translation parallel to the axis Z20, that is to say transversely relative to the longitudinal axis X20. The drawer 61 slides through an opening 63 for access to the batteries 30, 30', this opening 63 being made in the front wall 41 so as to be accessible by the user even when the detector 12 is mounted on the song 5.

The translation of the drawer 61 takes place between a closed position, shown in the figures, in which the drawer 61 is inside the housing 20, and an open position, in which the drawer 61 protrudes from the wall of facade 41 along the axis Z20, so as to be at least partially outside the casing 20 to provide access to the batteries 30, 30'. In operation of the detector 12, the drawer 61 is in the closed position so that the batteries 30 and 30' supply the electronic means 24 with electrical energy. When drawer 61 is in the open position, electronic means 24 are advantageously no longer powered by batteries 30 and 30'. Thanks to the drawer 61, the batteries 30 can be accessed without removing the detector 12 from the edge 5, when the opening 3 is itself in the open position. In other words, in the open position of the drawer 61, the drawer 61 projects out of the casing 20 through the access opening 63, making the batteries 30 and 30′ accessible from outside the casing 20, at the vicinity of wall 41.

Each battery 30 and 30' is for example of cylindrical shape with a circular base. For example, each 30 and 30' battery is an AAA battery. Each battery 30 and 30' is fixed to drawer 61. For reasons of compactness of housing 20, each battery is arranged longitudinally, ie each battery defines a longitudinal axis which is parallel to axis X20. If several batteries are provided for the detector 12, these batteries are preferably arranged side by side being distributed parallel to the Z20 axis. Preferably, all the batteries of the detector 12 are arranged in the same plane parallel to the axes X20 and Z20, for reasons of compactness of the case 20 in the direction of the axis Y20.

The drawer 61 comprises a front 62, that is to say a wall, which, in the closed position, closes off the access opening 63. In the closed position of the drawer 61, the front 62 is coplanar with the wall 41. In the open position, the front 62 is moved away from the wall 41 towards the outside of the case 20, along the axis Z20, so as to no longer block the opening 63. Preferably, the battery(ies) 30, 30' and the facade 62 are aligned along the axis Z20.

The drawer 61 also comprises, respectively for each battery 30 and 30', receiving supports 64 and 64' secured to the front 62. The batteries 30 and 30' are fixed on their respective support 64 and 64'. In the case illustrated where the batteries 30 and 30' are cylindrical with a circular base, each support 64 and 64' is for example in the form of a cradle in the form of a half-tube, matching the shape of the battery concerned, which is received within said cradle. In the closed position of the drawer 61, the supports 64 and 64' are entirely arranged inside the casing 20. In the open position of the drawer 61, the supports 64 and 64' are positioned outside the casing 20, thus giving access to 30 and 30' batteries for replacement.

The drawer 61 is particularly advantageous when a plurality of batteries is provided, as is the case in the example illustrated. The drawer 61 makes it easy to reach the battery 30' when the drawer 61 is in the open position, even if the battery 30' is positioned, in operation of the detector 12, close to the bottom wall 42, opposite to the opening access 63. As a variant, in particular if a single battery is provided, it is simply possible to provide for the battery to be received in a fixed housing belonging to the box 20, at the same location as the drawer 61, the housing opening onto the outside of the box 20 through the access opening 63, and being closed by a removable wall of the box, at the same location as the facade 62.

The drawer 61 is positioned in the housing 20 at a central position between the longitudinal ends 101 and 102, or at least at a distance from the ends 101 and 102.

When drawer 61 is in the closed position, housing 20 and drawer 61 delimit a front housing 21, inside housing 20. Front housing 21 is delimited, along axis Z20, by front walls 41 and bottom 42. The front housing 21 is delimited, along the axis Y20, by the side walls 43 and 44. Along the axis X20, the front housing 21 is delimited by drawer 61 and by end 101, namely front wall 45. Front housing 21 is closed by a front cover 121 attached to housing 20, and forming part of front wall 41 Preferably, this cover 121 is clipped to the box 20. The front cover 121 can alternatively be fixed by screwing onto a side wall 43 or 44 of the box 20. In the closed position of the drawer 61, the front cover 121 and the front 62 are preferentially coplanar.

The front cover 121 advantageously comprises a screw barrel 122, extending in the direction of the access opening 63, that is to say of the drawer 61. The barrel 122 is parallel to the axis Z20. The drawer 61 can be fixed in the closed position by screwing a screw 123 into the screw barrel 122 of the cover 121. Advantageously, the screw allowing the fixing of the drawer 61 is a screw of the captive type, which remains attached to the drawer 61 when unscrewed. This captive screw also makes it possible to form a gripping means for extracting the drawer 61 from its closed position.

When the drawer 61 is in the closed position, the box 20 and the drawer 61 delimit a longitudinal passage 25, inside the box 20. The longitudinal passage 25 is delimited, along the axis Z20, by the bottom wall 42 and by the drawer 61, in particular by the support 64'. In other words, the longitudinal passage 25 is bordered, transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis X20, by the battery 30' and by the bottom wall 42. The longitudinal passage 25 is delimited, along the axis Y20, by the side walls 43 and 44.

When drawer 61 is in the closed position, housing 20 and drawer 61 delimit a rear housing 26, inside housing 20. Rear housing 26 is delimited, along axis Z20, by front walls 41 and bottom 42. The rear housing 26 is delimited, along the axis Y20, by the side walls 43 and 44. Along the axis X20, the rear housing 26 is delimited by the drawer 61 and by the end 102, namely the rear wall 46. Along the axis X20, the longitudinal passage 25 connects the front housing 21 to the rear housing 26. The rear housing 26 is closed by a rear cover 124 attached to the housing 20 and forming part of the front wall 41. Preferably, this rear cover 124 is clipped to the housing 20. It can alternatively be fixed by screwing onto a side wall 43 or 44 of the housing 20. In the closed position of the drawer 61, the cover 124 and the front 62 are advantageously coplanar .

The rod 22 comprises a feeler part 51, a rear part 52 and an intermediate part 53. The bent rod 22 has an S or zigzag shape, being bent in two places, in this case at the junction between the parts 51 and 53 and at the junction between the parts 52 and 53. The bent rod 22 is movable in rectilinear translation relative to the housing 20 along the axis X20, between a deployed position in direction X51, visible on the picture 2 , and a retracted position in the X52 direction, visible on the picture 3 .

Feeler part 51 forms a front end of rod 22, ie part 51 forms the end of rod 22 in direction X51 along axis X20. Feeler part 51 is coaxial or parallel with axis X20. The feeler part 51 advantageously comprises a shape adapted to cooperate with the fitting 112, in particular with the end 113 of the fitting 112. For example, the feeler part 51 can comprise an extra thickness and/or a hollow shape at its end with the fitting 112, so that the fitting 112 cannot move under or over the feeler part 51.

The feeler part 51 passes through the end 101, in particular through a notch 47 made through the wall 45. This notch 47 can be made by a recess made in the wall 45 of the housing 20.

In the second embodiment shown in the figure 6 , the notch 47 ', of the same function as the notch 47, is delimited partly by a cutout of the wall 45 of the housing 20 and partly by the front cover 121.

Whatever the embodiment, the feeler part 51 extends partly outside the casing 20 and partly inside the casing 20, in the front housing 21.

Along axis Z20, lug 27 is positioned between feeler part 51 and surface S5 when housing 20 is fixed on edge 5. Thus, when housing 20 is fixed on edge 5, a front end of the feeler portion 51 of stem 22 extends along and slightly away from surface S5. Inside the housing 20, the feeler part 51 extends close to and along the wall 41, or even against the wall 41. At the very least, the feeler part 51 is closer to the wall 41 than to the wall 42. Thus, the bends of the rod are located inside the housing 20.

The rear part 52 of the rod 22 constitutes a rear end of the rod 22, that is to say that the part 52 forms the end of the rod 22 in the direction X52 along the axis X20. The rear part 52 is parallel with the feeler part 51, being transversely offset with respect to the feeler part 51. In other words, the rear part 52 is offset along the axis Z20 with respect to the feeler part 51. The rear part 52 extends entirely inside housing 20, close to and along wall 42, or even against wall 42, that is to say transversely opposite feeler part 51. the least, the rear part 52 is closer to the wall 42 than to the wall 41. Whatever the position of the rod 22, the rear part 52 of the rod 22 extends into the front housing 21, where the part back 52 is attached to the intermediate part 53, extends in the longitudinal passage 25 crossing it right through, and ends in the rear housing 26. The rear part 52 of the rod 22 therefore runs along the batteries 30 and 30'. The bent shape of the rod 22 allows it to bypass the batteries 30 and 30' to reach the rear housing 26. This particular arrangement ensures that the detector 12 is particularly compact, even if the batteries 30 and 30' are in a central position in the box 20 and are accessible from the front wall 41.

The intermediate part 53 connects the feeler part 51 to the rear part 52, in particular a rear end of the feeler part 51 to a front end of the rear part 52. The intermediate part 53 is parallel to the axis Z20. At the very least, vis-à-vis the parts 51 and 52, the intermediate part 53 extends transversely, here being perpendicular to the parts 51 and 52. The intermediate part 53 extends entirely inside the housing 20, in the front housing 21. The part 53 is therefore arranged in the housing 20 between the end 101 and the batteries 30, 30', whatever the position of the rod 22 with respect to the housing 20. Only the feeler part 51 comes out of the housing, it is therefore advantageously well guided through the notch 47.

As shown on the picture 2 , in the deployed position of the rod 22, the essential part of the feeler part 51 is outside the housing 20 and the intermediate part 53 is close to or against the wall 45. As shown on the picture 3 , in the retracted position, most or all of the feeler part 51 is inside the housing 20, and the intermediate part 53 is remote from the wall 45 and comes close to or against the movable drawer 61.

The housing 20 and/or elements attached to the housing 20 advantageously guide the translation of the rod 22 relative to the housing 20 and limit its translation between the deployed and retracted positions. The translation guidance is for example obtained by longitudinal sliding of the feeler part 51 of the rod 22 through the notch 47 and by longitudinal sliding of the rear part 52 through an eyelet 60, arranged inside the housing 20, for example in the rear housing 26. The eyelet 60 is for example carried by the bottom wall 42.

Preferably, the detector 12 further comprises a spring 70. The spring 70 is advantageously entirely disposed inside the housing 20. Here, the spring 70 is a helical axial spring, which is coaxial and surrounds the rear part 52 of the rod 22, for reasons of compactness. The spring 70 imparts a spring force on the rod 22 relative to the housing 20, tending to move the rod 22 say in the direction X51 along the axis X20. By “spring force” is meant an elastic return force generated following an elastic deformation of the spring 70, to return to its rest position. For this, the spring 70 is for example a compression spring, which bears in the direction X52 against the housing 20, for example against the eyelet 60, and which bears in the direction X51 against the rear part 52 of the rod 22, for example against an axial shoulder 23 belonging to the rear part 52 of the rod 22. In other words, the spring 70 is longitudinally interposed between the eyelet 60 and the axial shoulder 23 of the rod 22. The spring 70 is therefore received partly in the passage 25 and partly in the rear housing 26. More generally, the spring 70 bears on the housing 20 via the eyelet 60 to impart the return force to rod 22.

The rod 22 is elastically pushed by the spring 70 towards the deployed position. To bring the rod 22 towards the retracted position, that is to say to translate the rod 22 towards the inside of the housing 20 in the direction X52, it is necessary to push the rod 22 against the spring force .

When the box 20 is fixed to the edge 5, the sensing part 51 receives the end 113 of the fitting 112 bearing against it along the longitudinal axis X20, this bearing being directed in only one of the two directions X51 and X52, for the two directions X51 and X52 of translation of the fitting 112. The rod 22 is held in abutment in the direction X51 against the end 113 of the fitting 112 under the action of the spring force imparted by the spring 70. Thanks to the spring 70, it is not necessary to provide for attaching the rod 22 to the fitting 112. The fitting 112 and the feeler part 51 bear at the level of a front end of the feeler part 51, outside the casing 20 The sensing part 51 being kept in contact with the fitting 112, the rod 22 and the fitting 112 are integral in translation with respect to the edge 5 and to the housing 20. In this situation, the position of the rod 22 with respect to the housing 20 reflects the position of the fitting 112 with respect to the edge 5. The box 20 is As long as it is fixed to the edge 5, the fitting 112, translating along the axis X20 with respect to the edge 5, drives the rod 22 in translation with respect to the housing 20 along the axis X20 via the feeler part 51.

According to an alternative embodiment, the sensor part 51 is attached or fixed to the fitting 112 so that the position of the rod 22 reflects the position of the fitting 112. In this case, the spring 70 is not necessary. More generally, the feeler part 51 is advantageously provided to receive a mechanical action from the fitting 112, that is to say a force transmitted by contact of the fitting 112 against the feeler part 51, or by any other means. , so that the fitting 112 and the rod 22 are integral in their movement along the axis X20. The position of the rod 22 thus reflects the position of the fitting 112. One can for example provide that the fitting 112 acts on the feeler part 51 via a pin, a hook or an end belonging to said fitting.

The electronic means 24 are entirely received inside the casing 20. In particular, the electronic means 24 are entirely received in the rear housing 26. The electronic means 24 comprise a position sensor system, here including an indicator 57, several sensors 99 and an electronic analyzer 98, as well as an electronic transmitter 82.

The electronic means 24 advantageously comprise two electronic cards, namely a primary electronic card 80 and a secondary electronic card 81.

The primary electronic card 80, shown in dotted lines on the picture 2 , and better visible on the figure 5 , extends parallel to the axes X20 and Z20, being positioned along the side wall 44 of the housing 20, or even against the wall 44. The card 80 is therefore perpendicular to the wall 41. The card 80 is of the printed circuit type or "Printed Circuit Board", "PCB" in English. The electronic card 80 is fixed inside the casing 20 while being entirely received in the rear housing 26. Along the axis Y20, the card 80 is arranged between the rear part 52 of the rod 22 and the side wall 44 of the casing. 20. The primary board 80 serves both as a mechanical support for some of the electronic means 24, in particular for the analyzer 98 and the sensors 99, while comprising an electronic circuit ensuring the electrical connections between these various electronic means.

The secondary electronic card 81 extends parallel to the axes X20 and Y20, being positioned along the front wall 41, or even against the wall 41. The card 81 is of the printed circuit type. The card 81 is fixed inside the case 20 while being entirely received in the rear housing 26. The secondary card 81 serves both as a mechanical support for some of the electronic means 24, in particular for the transmitter 82 or part of the transmitter 82, while comprising an electronic circuit ensuring the electrical connections between these various electronic means.

Cards 80 and 81 are electronically interconnected. For this, one can provide that the cards 80 and 81 form a single folded electronic card, as shown in the figure 5 . Alternatively, cards 80 and 81 are separate and interconnected by an appropriate electronic connector.

The electronic means 24 are supplied with electrical energy by the batteries 30 and 30' when the drawer 61 is in the closed position. For this, the drawer 61 is advantageously provided with a connection means for the batteries 30, including by example of the electrical contact terminals which are in contact respectively with the terminals of the batteries 30 and 30', as well as one or more connectors electrically connecting the electrical contact terminals to the boards 80 and 81.

As shown on the figure 2 And 3 , a connector 128 is provided for example, which is fixed to a rear wall 130 of the drawer 61, delimiting the end of the receiving support 64 housing the battery 30. For this, the connector 128 comprises a fixing part 132. For example , the fixing part 132 comprises two legs, arranged to form an inverted U-shaped bridge. The two legs each extending parallel to, and on either side of, the rear wall 130. Thus the fixing part 132 straddles said rear wall 130. The fixing part 132, in particular its leg located interior side of the support 64, comes into electrical contact with the terminal of the battery 30 which is turned in the direction X52.

The connector 128 also includes a contact tab 133, which is in the form of a flexible blade. The contact tab 133 includes a first end, via which the first contact tab 133 is attached to the attachment part 132, in particular via the leg which extends outside the support 64. The first contact tab 133 also includes a first free end.

A connector 128', similar or identical to connector 128, is advantageously provided, which is mounted on the rear wall 130 of the drawer 61, but at the level of the receiving support 64', to be in electrical contact with the battery 30' which is oriented in the direction X52, this connector 128' comprising in particular a contact lug 133.

On a front wall 131 of the drawer 61, opposite the rear wall 130 along the axis X50, there is advantageously provided a third connector 129 electrically connecting together the terminals of the batteries 30 and 30' which are oriented in the direction X51.

The tabs 133 have a rest position, in which they are in an inclined position, that is to say oblique, relative to the wall 130 of the drawer 61. In this rest position, the respective free end of the tabs 133 is away from the wall 130 in the direction X52. The tabs 133 also have an elastically deformed position shown on the figure 2 And 3 , in which the respective free end of the lugs 133 is brought closer to the wall 130 in the direction X51. In the elastically deformed position, the lugs 133 are less inclined with respect to the wall 130. By elasticity, the lugs 133 tend to return to the rest position when they are brought into the elastically deformed position. In other words, when they are in the deformed position, the lugs 133 apply, in reaction, an elastic force in the direction X52. Thus, the lugs 133 form an elastic electrical contact lever.

In the direction X51, the electronic card 80 has a front edge 85, parallel to the axis Z20. When drawer 61 is in the closed position as shown in the figure 2 And 3 , the lugs 133 come into electrical contact with the front edge 85, being held mechanically by the front edge 85 in their elastically deformed position. Preferably, the front edge 85 comprises two cutouts 86, corresponding respectively to the locations of the tabs 133 when the drawer 61 is in the closed position. The cutouts 86 receive the lugs 133 when the drawer 61 is in the closed position and guide the deformation of the lugs 133 between the rest position and the elastically deformed position, when the drawer 61 moves between the open position and the closed position. In this situation, the lugs 133 apply their elastic force against the front edge 85 of the card 80, in particular to the hollow of the cutouts 86, in the direction X52, which ensures good electrical contact.

The card 80 comprises, at the front edge 85, electrical tracks through which the electronic means 24 are powered by the batteries 30 and 30'. These electrical tracks face tabs 133 when drawer 61 is in the closed position. In particular, these electrical tracks emerge within the cutouts 86. In the closed position of the drawer 61, the lugs 133 are in electrical contact with these electrical tracks, which have an electrical contact function. The electrical connection of the batteries 30 and 30' is therefore ensured by the simple positioning of the drawer 61 in the closed position, thanks to the elastic lever properties of each connector 128 and 128'. On the contrary, when the drawer 61 is in the open or partially open position, the electrical connection between the tabs 133 and the card 80 is systematically interrupted.

The indicator 57, if provided, is carried by the rear part of the rod 22. Preferably, for any position of the rod 22, the indicator 57 is inside the rear housing 26. The translational movement of the indicator 57 with respect to housing 20 therefore reflects that of rod 22 and fitting 112, when housing 20 is fixed to edge 5 and fitting 112 actuates rod 22. Indicator 57 is intended to allow the detection of the position of the rod 22 over several ranges of its stroke. Several respective sensors 99 are used.

Each sensor 99 is advantageously an electronic component which is soldered directly onto the board 80. The sensors 99 are advantageously arranged by being distributed along an axis parallel to the axis X20, close to the stroke of the indicator 57. Each sensor 99 is a transducer which converts the position abscissa of the rod 22 along the axis X20 into an electrical quantity usable by the electronic means 24 of the detector 12, in particular by the analyzer 98. To detect the position of the rod 22, each sensor 99 advantageously detects the indicator 57 when the latter is located in the detection zone of a sensor 99. For this, for example, the indicator 57 is in the form of a magnet while each sensor 99 constitutes an electromagnetic field sensor, for example a Hall effect sensor or a magnetoresistive sensor, to detect the electromagnetic field generated by the indicator 57 without contact. Each sensor 99 converts the electromagnetic field of indicator 57 into the aforementioned electrical signal.

As a variant, provision could be made for the position of the rod 22 to be detected by one or more sensors implementing a technology other than electromagnetic detection, for example optical sensors.

The electronic analyzer 98 is an electronic system, comprising for example a processor implementing a computer code stored on a memory. Analyzer 98 is in the form of one or more electronic components mounted on board 80 and electronically interconnected. Functionally, the analyzer 98 is designed to determine the longitudinal position of the fitting 112, on the basis of the values taken by the respective states of the sensors 99. For this, the sensors 99 are electronically linked to the analyzer 98 via the circuits of the card 80. The analyzer 98, belonging to the sensor system, thus generates information on the position of the rod 22 with respect to the housing 20.

The transmitter 82 is an electronic system, comprising for example a processor implementing a computer code stored on a memory. Transmitter 82 is in the form of one or more electronically interconnected electronic components. At least a part of the electronic components of the transmitter 82 is mounted on the card 81. It is also possible to provide that a part of the electronic components of the transmitter 82 is mounted on the card 80. The transmitter 82 comprises for example a wireless transmitter, such as a radio transmitter comprising an antenna, designed to transmit the position information of the rod 22, supplied by the analyzer 98 of the sensor system, to a third-party device. Preferably, the antenna is carried by card 81 and extends parallel to axis X20. The third-party device can include a display, an interface, or any similar means, aimed at informing the user of the current functional position of the fitting 112, according to the position information.

The fact of providing the antenna of the transmitter 82 on the card 81 allows the transmitter 82 to be insensitive to the electromagnetic disturbances which the position sensor system could generate, in particular if the witness 57 is a magnet and if the sensors 99 are electromagnetic field sensors. In addition, it is advantageously provided that, when the box 20 is fixed to the edge 5, the card 81 is positioned in the plane or above the plane defined by the surface S5 of the edge 5, so the transmitter 82 and its antenna are surrounded as little as possible by the materials of the frame, which makes it possible to significantly improve the transmission of wireless data by radio. For the card 81 to be positioned in this way, provision is advantageously made for the card 81 to be arranged, along the axis Z20, between the front wall 41 and the fixing lugs 27, 27'. This improvement is all the more noticeable in the case where the frame 1 comprises parts made of aluminum or made of other metallic materials. The autonomy of the detector 12 is thus improved, since it is possible to choose a low-power transmitter 82, the consumption of electrical energy from the batteries 30, 30' of which is reduced.

The electronic means 24 comprise a programming button 83 of the detector, which is preferably carried by the secondary electronic card 81 so as to be able to be actuated by a user from the front wall 41 outside the box 20, without dismantling the box. 20. For this, for example, the front wall 41 is elastically deformable, so that the user actuates the button 83 through the front wall 41 by pressing on the front wall 41. The button 83 is electronically connected to the other electronic means 24. An action on the button 83 allows the user to act on the operation of the detector 12, by having for example an on/off, reset, or synchronization function of the transmitter 82 with the third-party device. Alternatively, more programming buttons may be provided in similar arrangements to button 83, to perform different functions.

Preferably, the electronic means 24 comprise a magnetometer and/or an accelerometer. The accelerometer and/or the magnetometer are intended to detect a movement of the leaf 3 between the closed position and the open position, as well as to identify any vibrations to which the position detector 12 is subjected. The accelerometer and/or or the magnetometer serve in particular to wake up part of the electronic means, in particular the sensors 99, the electronic analyzer 98 and/or the electronic transmitter 82. The accelerometer and/or the magnetometer are carried in particular by the primary electronic card 80 or the secondary electronic card 82.

Due to the central position of the drawer 61 along the axis X20, the battery or batteries 30, 30' are positioned between the electronic means 24, entirely received in the rear housing 26, and the intermediate part 53 of the rod 22, fully received in the front housing 21. The rod 22 is therefore protected from the outside, while the housing 20 embeds all the functions of the detector 12, making it as independent as possible. Even if this is possible, it is not necessary to connect the detector 12 by wire to an external energy source or to a third-party device, which considerably facilitates the installation and integration of the detector 12 into the frame 1.

The battery or batteries 30, 30' are positioned between the position sensor system of the electronic means 24 and the intermediate part 53 of the rod 22, entirely received in the front housing 21. In particular, along the axis X20, the batteries 30, 30' are positioned between, on the one hand, the intermediate part 53 and, on the other hand, the indicator 57 carried by the rear part of the rod 22, the sensors 99, the electronic analyzer 98 and the electronic transmitter 82.

A second embodiment of detector 12 is shown in figures 7 to 10 . In the second embodiment, the elements similar to those of the first embodiment of the figures 1 to 6 bear the same references and operate in the same way. In the following, the differences between the first and second embodiments are mainly described.

As seen on the figure 7 And 8 , one of the main differences of the second embodiment with the first embodiment is that a feeler tip 200 is mounted on the feeler end 51 of the bent rod 22. This tip has a cavity, not visible in the figures, which is complementary to the feeler end 51 and which fits over the feeler end. The tip 200 is therefore fixed to the feeler end 51 by assembly.

The feeler tip 200 has a bearing surface 202 which is perpendicular to the axis X20. When the box 20 is fixed to the edge 5, the end piece 200 is positioned between the feeler end 51 and the fitting 112 of the opening 3, and the end 113 of the fitting bears against the end piece 200 by the intermediary of the bearing face of the tip. Thus, fitting 112 translates bent rod 22 relative to housing 20 along axis X20 via end piece 200.

Along the axis Z20, a thickness of the bearing face 202 is greater than a thickness of the feeler end 51. This makes it possible to keep the end of the fitting resting against the end piece even in a configuration where the fitting and the feeler end are misaligned, to reduce the risk that the fitting will move under or on the feeler part 51.

The presence of the end piece 200 therefore makes it possible to make the operation of the detector 12 more reliable by ensuring better transmission of the movement of the fitting 112 to the rod 22 of the detector.

The presence of the end piece 200 is particularly advantageous in the case where the fitting 112 is a flat rod, for example for a sliding door frame.

As seen on the figures 7 to 10 , another main difference of the second embodiment with the first embodiment is that the detector 12 comprises a tab 300 attached to the housing 20.

The lug 300 is positioned on the front wall 45 of the casing 20 and extends from this wall, away from the wall, towards the exterior of the casing. It is positioned under the fixing lug 27, that is to say that, along the axis Z20, it is positioned between the fixing lug and the bottom wall 42.

The tab 300 comprises two legs 302, parallel to each other, which extend from the front wall 45 of the box parallel to the plane formed by the axes X20 and Z20.

Each leg 302 includes a rising part 304 and an intermediate part 306, the rising part extending from the casing 20 to the intermediate part. The rising part 304 extends obliquely from its end attached to the front wall 45 of the casing 20 towards the intermediate part 306 converging towards the plane P27. In other words, along the axis Z20, the end attached to the front wall 45 is farther from the fixing lug 27 than the end attached to the intermediate part. Each leg 302 also includes a descending part 308, which extends from the intermediate part away from the casing obliquely, away from the plane P27, that is to say along the axis Z20 , the end of the descending part 308 attached to the intermediate part 306 is closer to the attachment lug 27 than the second end of the descending part 308.

A height H300 is defined as being the smallest distance between the plane P27 and the tab 300, measured along the axis Z20. Given the geometry of the legs 302, the height H300 is measured at the level of the intermediate part 306 of each leg, which is the part closest to the plane P27.

The ends of the descending parts of two legs 302 are connected by a reinforcement 310, which extends parallel to the axis Y20, so that the legs 302 form reinforcing ribs.

Between the legs 302, the reinforcement 310 and the front wall 45 of the case, the tab 300 defines an opening 312.

The geometry of the tab 300 gives it elasticity along the Z20 axis, that is to say it is flexible so that the position along the Z20 axis of the intermediate part 306 of each leg 302 can vary when a force directed along the Z20 axis is exerted on the legs. Thus, the height H300 can vary if a force is exerted on the leg 300.

The clamp 300 makes it possible to fix the box 20 to the edge 5, in cooperation with the lugs 27 and 27'. In this second embodiment, as visible in figure 9 And 10 , edge 5 is a wall perpendicular to axis Z20 of thickness H5, along axis Z20, greater than height H300.

When the box 20 is fixed to the edge 5, the lug 300 is positioned under the edge 5, at the end of the bore 7, and the lug 27 is positioned on the edge 5. Thus, the lug 300 and the lug 27 are arranged on each side of the edge 5. The height H5 being greater than the height H300, the edge 5 exerts a force on the tab 300, which leads to the deformation of the legs 302. In practice, this effort leads to the tab 300 of edge 5 and ear 27 in the direction of axis Z20, until the height between plane P27 and leg 300 is equal to H5. In addition, this effort makes it possible to hold the box 20 in position on the edge 5 at the level of the ear 27 without requiring the use of a screw, or any other similar fixing means, because the edge 5 is pinched between the ear 27 and clamp 300. Then, ear 27' is fixed to edge 5 by a screw, or any other similar fixing means.

This method of fixing by pinching is advantageous because it facilitates the fixing of the housing on the side of the ear 27 and does not require the use of a screw.

In addition, thanks to the elasticity of the tab 300, the box 20 adapts to openings whose edge has a variable thickness, that is to say that the box 20 can be fixed on edges of thickness H5 different, the leg 300 deforming according to the thickness of the song.

In addition, the opening 3 may include one or more ribs 320 which project from a main face of the edge 5 in the direction of the inside of the opening 3 along the axis Z20. In other words, the ribs are formed on a face of the edge opposite to that which receives the casing 20. By way of example, an opening 3' comprising a rib 320 is shown in figure 9 and a 3" sash comprising two ribs 320 is shown in figure 10 . These ribs 320 make it possible, for example, to increase the rigidity of the edge 5. When the detector 12 is mounted on the edge 5, the lug 300 is configured so that these ribs are located in the opening 312, so that the ribs 320 do not come into contact with the tab 300. The opening 312 therefore allows the mounting of the detector 12 on the edge 5 despite the presence of ribs 320 on the opening 3. Thus, the spacing of the legs 302 along the axis Y20 and the position of the reinforcement 310 along the axis Z20, that is to say at the farthest point from the plane P27, allow the leg 300 to adapt to a wide variety of edge configurations.

The lug 300 is integral with the wall 45 of the housing 20, but a lug 300 independent of the housing 20 could alternatively be provided, fixed to the wall 45 by any suitable fastening means, for example by screwing, gluing or welding.

Alternatively, the leg 300 does not include reinforcement 310, that is to say the two legs 203 are separated over their entire length. Alternatively, the leg 300 consists of a single leg.
