Window type opening, door, French window or the like,

  The present invention relates to an opening of the window, door, window-door or the like type comprising: at least one first opening of the swinging type, means for motorizing the movement of said at least first opening type flying.

  The prior art teaches us, for example, such openings as described below: for example, there is known a solution for the motorization of doors or casement windows, consisting in placing in the upper part of the opening a technical strip comprising a motorized crank connecting rod system whose rod connected to the opening pushes or pulls the latter to open, under the effect of the rotating crank; a solution is also known consisting of having a motor chain applied or crosses high.

  Such solutions alter the aesthetics of the opening and also generally requires a specific space bulky for the location of the motorization device and transmission of the movement acting on the opening. In addition, such devices are expensive especially in terms of implementation, adjustment, and require significant maintenance.

  The present invention makes it possible to overcome these disadvantages and to provide other advantages. More precisely, it consists of an opening of the window, door, window-door or the like type, comprising: at least one first opening of the swinging type, means for motorizing the movement of said at least first leaf-type opening, characterized in what said means for motorizing the movement of said at least first leaf-type opening comprises a first motor housed in an amount on which is articulated the opening.

  The integration of the engine to operate the opening in an amount, has the advantage of not altering the aesthetics of the opening according to the invention, and to maintain its technical performance, sealing to the air, water and heat and sound insulation, in that the motorization means are perfectly integrated in the amount and do not interfere with air and water sealing functions. In addition, the opening according to the invention allows to bring the generating source of the rotational movement of the opening of the axis of rotation itself of the opening to minimize the transmission kinematics of the movement conferred to the opening.

  According to an advantageous characteristic, the opening according to the invention comprises means for transmitting the rotational movement of a motor shaft of said first motor, to said at least first opening, via an axis of rotation of the latter. .

  This characteristic makes it possible to simplify the transmission of the movement, of the motor, more particularly of the motor shaft to the opening, by acting on an axis of rotation of the opening.

  According to an advantageous characteristic, said first motor comprises a motor shaft rotating about an axis of rotation of said at least first leaf-type opening.

  This feature of ensuring that the motor axis and the axis of rotation of the opening are combined, allows a maximum simplification of kinematics.

  According to an advantageous characteristic, said means for motorizing the movement of said at least first leaf-type opening comprises a gearbox placed in said amount.

  According to an advantageous characteristic, said means for motorizing the movement of said at least first leaf-type opening comprises a torque limiter placed in said amount.

  The torque limiter makes it possible to provide security to the movement of the sash, which can thus be stopped by the latter under the resistance of an obstacle.

  According to an advantageous characteristic, said amount comprises thermal bridge breaking means.

  According to an advantageous characteristic, the opening according to the invention comprises: at least one second swing-type opening, said first and second opening being articulated on the same said amount, means for motorizing the movement of said at least second opening of swinging type, comprising a second motor housed in said upright on which said first and second openings are articulated.

  This characteristic makes it possible to motorize two opening juxtaposed and articulated on the same amount, thanks to two motors preferably independent.

  According to an advantageous characteristic, the opening according to the invention comprises: means for transmitting the rotational movement of a driving shaft of said second motor, said at least second opening, via an upper or lower axis of rotation of the latter, - the means for transmitting the rotational movement of a motor shaft of said first motor, said at least first opening, acting through an axis respectively lower or greater rotation of the latter.

  This feature allows an alignment of the motors in the amount, each acting on a different axis of rotation of the respective opening, for example the upper axis for one of the opening and the lower axis for the other.

  According to an advantageous characteristic, the opening according to the invention comprises: at least one second swing-type opening, said first and second opening being articulated on different amounts, means for motorizing the movement of said at least second opening of the type beating, comprising a second motor housed in an amount on which is articulated said second opening, different from the amount on which is articulated said first leaf.

  Other features and advantages will become apparent on reading the following of an exemplary embodiment of an opening according to the invention, accompanied by the appended drawings, an example given by way of nonlimiting illustration.

  The aperture shown schematically in FIGS. 1 to 3 is an opening of the window, door, window-door or the like type, and comprises: a first swinging-type opening, means for motorizing the movement of the first opening , comprising a first motor 12, advantageously tubular of known type, housed in an upright 5 on which is articulated the first opening 1, the vertical upright or mullion 5 located between the lateral uprights 42 and 43 of the vertical opening, as represented in FIGS. 1 and 6, a second swing-type opening 3, the first 1 and second 3 opening being articulated on the same vertical central upright, as will be explained later.

  Figures 2 and 3 show schematically respectively, Figure 2A the opening with the first 1 opening in the closed position, Figure 2B the opening with the first 1 opening in the open position, the second opening 3 being closed in Figures 2A and 2B, and Figure 3 the opening with the second opening 3 in the open position, the first opening 1 being closed.

  In terms of application, the first opening 1 may be a small ventilation leaf, and the second opening 3, a leaf passage and / or lighting and / or ventilation in large, and / or cleaning .

  The opening shown advantageously comprises means 44 for transmitting the rotational movement of a drive shaft 45 of the first motor 12, to the first opening 1, via an axis 2 of rotation of the latter, preferably vertical in the case in point, located along the central upright 5. The motor shaft 45 rotates preferably along the axis 2 of rotation of the first 1 opening, and in this particular case of the second opening 3 as will be explained more far. The axes of rotation of the motor shaft and the opening are therefore advantageously combined.

  The means 40 for motorizing the movement of the first opening 1 advantageously comprise a speed reducer 22 and a torque limiter 13 of the type known per se, placed in the central upright.

  The central upright 5 on which are articulated the two leaves 1 and 3, comprises a tubular element 4, disposed on the inside of the opening as shown in Figure 5, in which are housed the means 40 for motorizing the movement of the first 1 opening and the transmission means 44 of the rotational movement of the motor shaft 45.

  For this purpose, the tubular element 4 has a circular cross-section and the motor 12 also has a circular cross-section as shown in FIG. 6. The axis of rotation of the first 1 and second 3 openings is advantageously located in the center of the 15 circular section of the tubular element 4.

  The central upright 5 further comprises an outer section 6 on which is fixed the tubular element 4, parallel to it, as shown in Figures 5 and 7. The section of the outer profile 6 of the central upright 5, preferably in T-shape, ensures the continuity of the seals through the bearing faces 7 and 8 of the seals 10 and 9 respectively, located on the two upper branches of the T, the tubular element 4 being connected and fixed to the lower end of the T as shown in Figure 5. The outer profile 6 is preferably a thermal break profile, comprising an outer portion 41 composed of the upper branch of the T, connected to an inner portion 11 composed of the central branch of the T through crimped insulating bars 46, as shown in Figure 5, the tubular element 4 being connected and fixed to the central branch of the section 6 by means of lugs 20 , 21, 26 screwed, preferably insulating to the extent that, given the space available, it would be necessary for these tabs establish, in order to ensure a sufficient mechanical connection, a connection between the inner portions 11 and outer 41 of the 6. Thus, the amount 5 comprising the drive means may however assume the function of overall profile thermal break to maintain the thermal insulation performance of the opening. Figure 7 shows the tabs 20, 21, 26 and their attachment by screws and / or bolts. It should be noted that the tabs 20, 21, 26 have been shown in FIG. 5, alternatively in the form of bent bands, whereas they are represented in FIGS. 6 and 7 in the form of a thickness. upper end having a thick field adopting a shape complementary to the circular tubular outer section of the tubular element 4 to form a correct support to the latter, as shown in FIG. 6 or 7. The upright 5 thus advantageously adopts a general shape T-assembly with a thermal break in the upper part of the central branch of the T and a technical part comprising the motorization means or opening, disposed on the inner side of the opening at the base of the T. The means 40 of motorization of the opening 1 advantageously comprising the 2890995 5 tubular motor 12, the torque limiter 13 and the gear reducer 22, are arranged in the tubular element 4 the lon g of the longitudinal axis of the latter as shown in Figure 6. The motor 12 is fixed by one of its ends to the tubular element 4 by means of a hooking device having tabs 20 placed outside the tubular element 4 and a collar 18 inside the latter, all screwed onto the tubular element 4. The tabs 20 can also serve to associate the tubular element 4 to the outer profile 6. The torque limiter 13 comprises, for example, a driving part 14 connected to the driving shaft and a receiving part 15 interconnected by a friction connection provided by spring-loaded ball screws 16 carried by one of the motor or receiver elements. of the limiter, housed in conical primers 17 formed in the other of the motor elements or receiver of the limiter. The receiving part 15 of the limiter 13 is connected to the input of the speed reducer 22 whose output drive shaft 47, the speed of which is reduced as required with respect to the speed of rotation of the drive shaft 45, is connected to the lower axis of rotation of the opening 1 as will be detailed below. The motor 12 is fixed by its other end or for example by one of the integral elements, the torque limiter 13 or the gearbox 22, to the tubular element 4, advantageously by means of a fastening device similar to that described above, comprising tabs 21 placed outside the tubular element 4 and a collar 19 inside the latter, all screwed onto the tubular element 4. The output shaft 47 of the gearbox 22 is connected to a first arm 23 at right angle formed by a lower axis of rotation 48 of the first leaf 1 and a lower tab 49 intended to be associated with the frame forming the first 1 leaf.

  The rotational guidance of the arm 23 at right angle, as more particularly shown in FIG. 4, is provided by means of the shaft 48 by means of a bearing 25 comprising a ring 24 formed of a roller bearing cage. which axis 48 rotates when the arm 23 is moved by the opening 1 to which it is associated. The bearing 25 is fixed to the tubular element 4 by means of lugs 26, as represented in FIGS. 6 and 7. Inside the bearing 25, is also guided in rotation via a ring 27 formed by a cage rolling, a second arm 28 at right angles formed of a lower tubular shaft 50 and a lower tab 51 to be associated with the frame forming the second 3 leaf. The lower tubular shaft 50 is intended to allow, through its central opening, a crossing of the lower axis of rotation 48 as shown in Figure 4. The lower tubular shaft 50 and the concentric lower axis of rotation 48 determine the axis of rotation of the first 1 and second 3 opening and are advantageously centered on the axis of symmetry of the tubular element 4.

  The recovery of the vertical loads caused by the weight of the leaves 1 and 3 is advantageously provided by axial stops with needles 29 and 31, the second arm 28 bearing on the first arm 23 via a needle stop 29 , and the first arm 23 being supported on a base 30 via an axial needle stop 31, as shown in Figure 4. The base 30 is fixed to the frame by means of screws for example as shown in Figure 7.

  For guidance in rotation of the openings 1 and 3 in the upper part of the opening, arms advantageously identical to the first 23 and second 28 arms described above are reused to ensure the recovery of the opening and its rotation, as shown in FIG. 4, in the upper part of the tubular element 4, in cooperation with a bearing 25 and rings 24 and 27 also advantageously identical to those described above. The recovery of the vertical loads does not need to be taken into account in the upper part of the opening insofar as it has been managed in the lower part, and therefore the axial thrust bearings 29 and 31 are partially absent. higher.

  It will be noted in FIG. 7 that the tabs 49 and 51, respectively, of the arms 23 and 28 are aligned in a horizontal plane, requiring the production of a recess on the highest arm, in the example the arm 28, as also appears on FIG. Figure 6. In connection with this situation, it should be noted that the first opening 1 will preferably be fixed in the lower part on the lug 49 of the arm 23 while it will be fixed in the upper part of the opening on the lug 51 of the arm 28. The second opening 3 will be fixed in the lower part on the lug 51 of the arm 28 while it will be fixed in the upper part of the opening on the lug 49 of the arm 23.

  In the example shown, the first opening 1 is motorized while the second opening 3 is intended to be manually operated, no motorization means having been shown in the figures for this second opening. Complementarily, however, taking into account the kinematics of the opening described above, and their connection to the frame, it will be possible to equip the tubular element 4 with two separate motors, one 12 in engagement with the axis of rotation 48 of the lower arm 23 to motorize the first opening 1, and the other (not shown) engaged on the axis of rotation 48 of the upper arm 23 to motorize the second opening 3 if necessary. It is thus possible to motorize the two openings 1 and 3 with motorization means, for example identical to that described above with respect to the motorization of the first opening 1, arranged symmetrically in the tubular element 4, 1 one engaged on the lower axis 48, the other engaged on the upper axis 48.

  As shown in FIG. 8, which shows an exploded lower angle of an opening 1 or 3, the section 33 forming the frame of the opening will advantageously be sandwiched, in order to associate the frame of the opening the appropriate rotary lower arm, between an insert 34 introduced into the section 33 and the arm 23 or 28, respectively for the first or the second opening. The attachment of an opening to its arm of rotation in the upper part is similar to that used in the lower part, the fixing principles of the first and second opening being identical.

  In the example described above, an opening according to the invention with two swinging wings has been described, one or both openings being motorized from mechanisms arranged integrally in a central amount of the opening. It is also possible to envisage, without departing from the scope of the invention, an opening having two opening articulated on the two lateral uprights of the opening, respectively, a motorization mechanism of the opening, as described above. being disposed in each lateral upright on which is articulated an opening, in order to motorize it as needed.
