Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a skylight of the type specified in the preamble to the first claim.
  • the present invention relates to a skylight having a wide opening frame, for example made with a double wing frame.
  • skylights are basically openings made in the roof of a building to illuminate the attic or, more generally, the rooms beneath.
  • the automated devices essentially comprise an actuating motor arranged in the vicinity of the skylight and equipped with at least one gear configured to transmit the motion of the drive shaft to a transmission element, typically a toothed rod, or rack, configured to drive the skylight cover in opening or closing.
  • a transmission element typically a toothed rod, or rack
  • the roof cover is generally hinged to a portion of the roof on its side opposite to the side on which the gear rod is constrained.
  • EP-A-1281314 FR-A-2846487 , JP-A-2003009677 and US-A-6089973 .
  • skylights equipped with automated control devices may be subject to safety issues, especially in relation to the possibility of ignition of structures, which may also be wooden, arranged in proximity to the motor. Therefore, generally, the skylights of the known technique usually have to be fitted with fire-fighting systems capable of preventing or signalling the risk of ignition.
  • the skylights of the known technique are equipped with control devices that can guide the opening covers at small angles, usually between 10° and 15°, or similar, with the consequence that skylights of the known technique provide a reduced skylight opening and, consequently, a low ventilation capacity for the rooms below.
  • the technical task underlying the present invention is to devise a skylight capable of substantially obviating at least part of the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • Another important scope of the invention is to achieve, therefore, a skylight that does not require special safety equipment, in particular fire safety equipment, for its proper functioning.
  • Another task of the invention is to realise a skylight which is also functional at high tem peratures.
  • a further task of the invention is to realise a skylight whose cover can be opened widely, so as to provide a greater access opening of the skylight and significantly increase the ventilation capacity of the room beneath.
  • the measurements, values, shapes and geometric references (such as perpendicularity and parallelism), when associated with words like "about” or other similar terms such as “approximately” or “substantially”, are to be considered as except for measurement errors or inaccuracies due to production and/or manufacturing errors, and, above all, except for a slight divergence from the value, measurements, shape, or geometric reference with which it is associated.
  • these terms if associated with a value, preferably indicate a divergence of not more than 10% of the value.
  • treatment refers to the action and/or processes of a computer or similar electronic calculation device that manipulates and/or transforms data represented as physical, such as electronic quantities of registers of a computer system and/or memories in, other data similarly represented as physical quantities within computer systems, registers or other storage, transmission or information displaying devices.
  • the skylight according to the invention is globally indicated with the number 1 .
  • the skylight 1 is suitable to be placed or obtained on a roof of a building.
  • the building may be of any nature, for example industrial, residential or other.
  • the roof may also be of various types, for example flat, or pitched, possibly also curved.
  • the skylight 1 comprises, in brief, at least one supporting frame 2 and a roof cover 3 .
  • the frame 2 delimits an opening corresponding to the opening of the skylight 1.
  • frame 2 defines a support plane 2a .
  • the support plane 2a is essentially the plane on which the frame 2 expands.
  • the support plane 2a may be perfectly flat or even slightly curved, for example to follow the contour of the roof.
  • the frame 2 can take various shapes. For example, it may be rounded or, more appropriately, squared and almost rectangular or square.
  • the cover 3 is the portion of skylight 1 that interacts with frame 2 to make the room below the roof accessible or inaccessible.
  • the frame 30 is preferably counter-shaped to the frame 2. In fact, the frame 30 is suitable for resting on the frame 2 in at least one use configuration.
  • the frame 30 also defines a covering plane 3a .
  • the covering plane 3a is the plane on which the frame 30 lies. Furthermore, the covering plane 3a is the plane intended to be aligned with the support plane 2a when the frame 30 is lying on the frame 2.
  • the covering plane 3a may also be perfectly flat, or slightly curved. If curved, preferably the covering plane 3a is curved like the support plane 2a.
  • the frame 30 may comprise a gasket 31 .
  • the frame 30 is constrained in a compliant way to the frame 2.
  • the frame 30 is constrained to the frame 2 by means of constraint means 4.
  • the constraint means 4 preferably define a rotation axis 4a .
  • the rotation axis 4a lies on the support plane 2a.
  • the rotation axis 4a is the axis around which the frame 30 is rotatable with respect to the support plane 2a. Therefore, the rotation axis 4a is defined by the line of intersection between the support plane 2a and the covering plane 3a at least when the frame 30 is not resting on the support plane 2a.
  • the frame 30 is rotatable to be closed or folded open with respect to the frame 2.
  • the closing is obtained, of course, when the frame 30 rests on the frame 2, the opening is obtained by moving the frame 30 away from the frame 2.
  • the covering plane 3a defines its own inclination with respect to the support plane 2a.
  • the covering plane 3a can define an inclination angle ⁇ .
  • the inclination angle ⁇ is essentially the angle defining the opening of cover 3 with respect to frame 2 and thus to the roof.
  • the constraint means 4 may include a mechanical hinge extending along part of the frame 2 and the frame 30.
  • gasket 31 preferably extends along the part of the frame 30 that is not connected to the frame 2 via the constraint means 4.
  • the skylight 1 further comprises a control rod 5 .
  • the control rod 5 is an elongated, substantially beam-like element in which one dimension preponderates over the other two.
  • the control rod 5 defines, therefore, an expansion trajectory 5a.
  • the expansion trajectory 5a is the trajectory along which the preponderant dimension is developed. Furthermore, the expansion trajectory 5a may be straight or curvilinear.
  • the expansion trajectory 5a is curvilinear.
  • the control rod 5 defines an arc of a circle having a corresponding centre at a point of the rotation axis 4a.
  • the control rod 5 may further be a simple rod or bar movable by rollers. Or, preferably, the control rod 5 may be a rack. As is well known, a rack is an element provided with holes or teeth configured to interact with a crown wheel or gear to be moved.
  • control rod 5 is connected to the cover 3, in particular to the frame 30, in an area distanced from the constraint means 4.
  • the control rod 5 is constrained to the cover 3, preferably to the frame 30, such that the expansion trajectory 5a is transverse to the covering plane 3a.
  • the control rod 5 could be connected to a free end of the frame 30 opposite to the end connected to the frame 2 via the constraint means 4.
  • the skylight 1 additionally comprises a control device 6 .
  • the control device 6 is preferably integral with the hinge 2. Thus, the control device 6 does not move together with the frame 30 and the latter moves with respect to the same control device 6. More in detail, the control device 6 is configured to move the frame 30 itself.
  • control device 6 comprises a motor 60 .
  • the motor 60 is operatively connected to the control rod 5. Therefore, the motor 60 may include both power means and movement means, for example gears, capable of interacting with the control rod 5 to move it. Indeed, in general, the motor 60 is configured to move the control rod 5 along the expansion trajectory 5a relative to the frame 2. In this way, the control rod 5 pushes or pulls the frame 30 away from or towards the frame 2 to realise the opening and closing configurations.
  • the skylight 1 also includes a casing 7 .
  • the casing 7 is essentially a closed, or partially closed, element configured to contain one or more components of the skylight 1.
  • the enclosure 7 defines inner walls 70 .
  • the inner walls 70 are intended to enclose the components.
  • the inner walls 70 extend at least around the motor 60.
  • the enclosure 7 comprises at least the motor 60.
  • the latter may be permanently bound to one or more inner walls 70 or be supported on one or more inner walls 70.
  • the enclosure 7 also comprises at least one insulation layer 71 .
  • the insulation layer 71 is positioned on the inner walls 70. Thus, it is substantially at least one cladding of the interior walls 70.
  • the insulation layer 71 includes thermal insulation material surrounding the motor 60.
  • the thermal insulating material may comprise rock wool or similar (ceramic fibre, calcium silicate, etc.).
  • control device 6 may comprise a reducer 61 .
  • the reducer 61 is operatively connected between the motor 60 and the control rod 5.
  • the reducer 61 is, therefore, configured to transmit a power developed by the motor 60 to the control rod 5 with a predetermined reduction ratio.
  • the motor 60 and the reducer 61 define a geared motor.
  • the reducer 61 is preferably configured in such a way that the predetermined reduction ratio determines a resultant torque sufficient to overcome the angular momentum to define a maximum inclination angle ⁇ at least equal to 45° or even higher.
  • the reducer 61 is the component capable of transmitting the motion to the control rod 5, preferably it is operatively connected to the control rod 5 by means of a gear.
  • the control rod 5, which comprises a rack in the preferred embodiment, can be moved by the rotation of the gear determined by the predetermined reduction ratio with respect to the rotation of the motor shaft 60.
  • the casing 7 may also comprise the reducer 61.
  • the casing 7 also includes part of the control rod 5.
  • the casing 7 also includes holes or openings through which the control rod 5 can be moved relative to the casing 7 via the reducer 61.
  • the insulation layer 71 entirely surrounds both the control device 6 in its entirety and part of the control rod 5.
  • the insulating layer 71 may be a filler. Therefore, it can be configured to completely fill the empty interior spaces of the casing 7, as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the skylight 1 may comprise a further arrangement.
  • the safety means 8 are components intended to protect the environment below the skylight 1 from falling objects from the skylight 1. Therefore, they are preferably arranged near or on the frame 2 and are slender so as not to burden the overall structure.
  • the safety means 8 include an anti-fall net.
  • the net is integral with the frame 2. Furthermore, it is positioned on a side of the frame 2 opposite to the cover 3. In other words, the safety means 8 are preferably positioned between the opening of the skylight 1 and the ground.
  • the control device 6 essentially moves the control rod 5 along the expansion trajectory 5a in such a way as to push the cover 3 in opening or closing on the frame 2.
  • the skylight 1 according to the invention achieves important advantages.
  • the skylight 1 makes it possible to reduce, if not completely eliminate, the possibility of fires relating to the structures arranged in the vicinity of the control device since the latter is well insulated, by means of the insulating layer 71, within the enclosure 7.
  • skylight 1 is substantially fireproof and enables it to meet the B300 heat resistance tests as provided for in standard 12101/2.
  • skylight 1 does not require any special safety equipment, in particular fire protection, for its proper functioning and can cooperate and be controlled by it.
  • the skylight 1 comprises a control device 6 which allows the cover 3 to be opened widely, so as to provide a greater access opening of the skylight and significantly increase the ventilation capacity of the room beneath.
