Description

Dispositif de protection solaire motorisé. Motorized sun protection device.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de protection solaire ou d' occultation comprenant des éléments principaux à savoir au moins un ou plusieurs berceaux et un motoréducteur, ce dernier étant logé dans un rail par l'intermédiaire du ou des berceaux, commandant le déplacement d' au moins un élément de protection solaire ou d'occultation et étant alimenté depuis une source d'énergie électrique par un câble électrique pénétrant dans le rail.The present invention relates to a sun protection or occultation device comprising main elements, namely at least one or more cradles and a geared motor, the latter being housed in a rail by means of the cradle (s), controlling the movement of at least one sun protection or concealment element and being supplied from an electric power source by an electric cable penetrating the rail.
Du brevet JP 9 - 310 569, on connaît un dispositif de protection solaire destiné à être installé par exemple devant une fenêtre à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment. Ce dispositif comprend principalement des lames dont la longueur est égale à la largeur de la fenêtre. Ces lames sont mobiles en translation selon un axe vertical et orientables autour de leur axe longitudinal. Elles sont liées entre elles par des cordons déterminant l'espacement maximal entre deux lames voisines et l'ensemble, ainsi constitué, est suspendu sous une poutre mobile, guidée par deux rails verticaux situés de part et d'autre de la fenêtre et dont le déplacement est commandé par un motoréducteur. Cette poutre est en effet reliée par deux câbles à des tambours d'enroulement liés chacun à l'arbre de sortie du motoréducteur. Le motoréducteur est fixé à un rail lié à la structure du bâtiment. Un câble électrique permettant l'alimentation du motoréducteur relie celui-ci à une source d'énergie extérieure au rail. Il sort du rail par le haut, le rail en forme de U étant ouvert à cet endroit.From patent JP 9 - 310,569, there is known a sun protection device intended to be installed for example in front of a window inside a building. This device mainly comprises blades whose length is equal to the width of the window. These blades are movable in translation along a vertical axis and orientable around their longitudinal axis. They are linked together by cords determining the maximum spacing between two neighboring slats and the assembly, thus formed, is suspended under a mobile beam, guided by two vertical rails located on either side of the window and the movement is controlled by a gear motor. This beam is in fact connected by two cables to winding drums each linked to the output shaft of the gearmotor. The gearmotor is attached to a rail linked to the structure of the building. An electric cable for supplying the gearmotor connects it to a source of energy external to the rail. he leaves the rail from above, the U-shaped rail being open at this point.
Du brevet CH 691 131, on connaît un dispositif de protection solaire présentant des berceaux réalisés, par exemple en matière plastique et ayant des formes adaptées pour positionner un motoréducteur dans un rail. Ces berceaux ont des formes intérieures leur permettant d'être encastrés aux deux extrémités du motoréducteur et des formes extérieures permettant de venir se glisser sans jeu dans le rail.Patent CH 691 131 discloses a sun protection device having cradles made, for example of plastic material and having shapes suitable for positioning a gearmotor in a rail. These cradles have internal shapes allowing them to be fitted at both ends of the gearmotor and external shapes allowing them to slide without play in the rail.
On connaît en outre, du modèle d'utilité DE 201 16 272 Ul, un dispositif de protection solaire présentant des berceaux pour adapter la forme d'un motoréducteur à celle d'un rail ayant un profil en U. Ce dispositif est muni d'un anneau élastique en forme de U dont les deux ailes latérales appuient sur les ailes latérales du rail et dont l'aile intermédiaire appuie sur le motoréducteur et permet de maintenir celui-ci en position dans le rail. Le rail présente sur sa face inférieure une ouverture permettant le passage d'un câble d'alimentation électrique du motoréducteur venant de l'extérieur du rail.We also know, from utility model DE 201 16 272 Ul, a sun protection device having cradles to adapt the shape of a gearmotor to that of a rail having a U-shaped profile. This device is provided with a U-shaped elastic ring, the two lateral wings of which press on the lateral wings of the rail and the intermediate wing of which presses on the gearmotor and makes it possible to maintain the latter in position in the rail. The rail has an opening on its underside allowing the passage of an electric power cable from the gear motor coming from outside the rail.
On connaît encore de la demande WO 96/19634, comme de nombreux autres organes électriques, des trous circulaires réalisés dans le carter d'un motoréducteur pour permettre le passage de câbles d'alimentation électrique. Le diamètre de ces trous est de l'ordre de leur longueur. De ce fait, chaque trou définit un point de passage pour le câble.Also known from application WO 96/19634, like many other electrical members, circular holes made in the casing of a geared motor to allow the passage of electric power cables. The diameter of these holes is of the order of their length. Therefore, each hole defines a point of passage for the cable.
Les câbles électriques sortant des motoréducteurs de ces dispositifs et devant être reliés à des sources d'énergie électrique posent des problèmes. Suivant le sens d'installation du dispositif de protection solaire ou d'occultation et la localisation de la source d'énergie dans la structure du bâtiment, le câble électrique doit prendre différentes orientations à l'intérieur du rail. L'installateur doit, par conséquent, orienter le câble électrique dans le rail lors de l'installation.The electrical cables leaving the geared motors of these devices and having to be connected to sources of electrical energy pose problems. Depending on the direction of installation of the sun protection or concealment device and the location of the energy source in the structure of the building, the electric cable must take different directions inside the rail. The installer must therefore orient the electric cable in the rail during installation.
Les dispositifs décrits précédemment présentent des inconvénients. En effet, rien ne permet de faciliter l'orientation du câble par l'installateur. De plus, le câble chemine librement dans le rail entre son entrée dans celui-ci et le motoréducteur au risque de venir en contact avec des éléments mobiles du mécanisme de commande des lames mobiles.The devices described above have drawbacks. There is nothing to facilitate the orientation of the cable by the installer. In addition, the cable travels freely in the rail between its entry therein and the gearmotor at the risk of coming into contact with mobile elements of the mechanism for controlling the mobile blades.
Le but de l'invention est de réaliser un dispositif palliant ces inconvénients et améliorant les dispositifs existants. En particulier, l'invention se propose de réaliser un dispositif de protection solaire ou d'occultation dont l'installation est facilitée et le fonctionnement sécurisé.The object of the invention is to provide a device which overcomes these drawbacks and improves the existing devices. In particular, the invention proposes to produce a sun protection or concealment device, the installation of which is facilitated and the operation secure.
Le dispositif de protection solaire ou d'occultation selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il présente au moins un chemin pour le câble électrique défini par au moins l'un des éléments principaux. Par chemin, on entend un moyen entourant au moins partiellement le câble pour le guider sur une distance supérieure à plusieurs fois son diamètre.The sun protection or blackout device according to the invention is characterized in that it has at least one path for the electric cable defined by at least one of the main elements. By path is meant a means at least partially surrounding the cable to guide it over a distance greater than several times its diameter.
Les revendications dépendantes 2 à 7 définissent différents modes de réalisation du dispositif selon 1' invention.The dependent claims 2 to 7 define different embodiments of the device according to the invention.
Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemples, trois variantes d'un mode de réalisation du dispositif selon 1' invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, three variants of an embodiment of the device according to the invention.

La figure 6 est une vue en coupe longitudinale partielle selon le plan VI-VI de la figure 1 de cette troisième variante du dispositif selon l'invention.Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of a third variant of the device according to the invention. Figure 6 is a partial longitudinal sectional view along the plane VI-VI of Figure 1 of this third variant of the device according to the invention.
Les figures 7 à 8 sont des sections de chemins de guidage de câble électrique.Figures 7 to 8 are sections of electric cable guide paths.
Le dispositif de protection solaire représenté en coupe aux figures 1 et 2 est destiné à être installé en vis-à-vis d'une fenêtre par exemple à l'extérieur d'un bâtiment. Ce dispositif comprend des lames non représentées, dont la longueur est sensiblement égale à la largeur de la fenêtre. Elles sont mobiles en translation selon un axe vertical et orientables autour de leur axe longitudinal. Elles sont liées entre elles par des cordons déterminant l'espacement maximal entre deux lames voisines.The sun protection device shown in section in Figures 1 and 2 is intended to be installed opposite a window, for example outside a building. This device comprises blades, not shown, the length of which is substantially equal to the width of the window. They are movable in translation along a vertical axis and orientable around their longitudinal axis. They are linked together by cords determining the maximum spacing between two neighboring boards.
Les déplacements des lames sont commandés par un motoréducteur 2 entraînant par l'intermédiaire de son arbre de sortie 6 des mécanismes de transformation de mouvement non représentés . Le motoréducteur 2 et les mécanismes de transformation de mouvement sont logés dans un rail 1 consistant en un profilé en ϋ lié à la structure 20 du bâtiment et disposé de telle manière que l'ouverture du rail 1 est orientée vers le haut. Ce rail 1 peut être réalisé en tôle d'acier, en aluminium ou en matière plastique.The movements of the blades are controlled by a geared motor 2 driving through its output shaft 6 motion transformation mechanisms not shown. The gear motor 2 and the movement transformation mechanisms are housed in a rail 1 consisting of a un profile linked to the structure 20 of the building and arranged in such a way that the opening of the rail 1 is oriented upwards. This rail 1 can be made of sheet steel, aluminum or plastic.
Ce rail 1 est lié à la structure 20 du bâtiment par l'intermédiaire de deux supports composés de deux parties. La première partie consiste en un profilé 4a en forme de C fixé au niveau de son aile intermédiaire à la structure 20 par des vis. La deuxième partie consiste en une bande de tôle 4b venant se fixer, par exemple au moyen de boulons, sur des oreilles 12 réalisées sur la première partie. Ces supports emprisonnent ainsi le rail 1.This rail 1 is linked to the structure 20 of the building by means of two supports composed of two parts. The first part consists of a C-shaped section 4a fixed at its intermediate wing to the structure 20 by screws. The second part consists of a sheet metal strip 4b which is fixed, for example by means of bolts, on the ears 12 produced on the first part. These supports thus trap the rail 1.
A chaque extrémité du motoréducteur 2, des berceaux 3 présentent des formes intérieures permettant de les monter sur celui-ci. Ils présentent en outre des formes extérieures pénétrant dans le rail 1 avec un jeu faible. Ces berceaux servent ainsi d'interface mécanique entre le rail 1 et le motoréducteur 2 en permettant d'adapter les dimensions du motoréducteur à celles du rail 1.At each end of the geared motor 2, cradles 3 have internal shapes allowing them to be mounted thereon. They also have external shapes penetrating into the rail 1 with little play. These cradles thus serve as a mechanical interface between the rail 1 and the geared motor 2, making it possible to adapt the dimensions of the geared motor to those of the rail 1.
Un anneau élastique 7 ayant une forme de U et réaliser en un matériau élastique tel que de l'acier à ressort est positionné sur le rail 1 de manière à maintenir le motoréducteur 2 en position dans le rail. Ses deux ailes latérales 8a et 8b viennent en contact des ailes lia et 11b du rail 1 et son aile intermédiaire vient se loger dans un épaulement 13 réalisé sur l'un des deux berceaux 3 afin d'assurer sa fonction de maintien. Il est à noter que le motoréducteur peut être mis en position dans le rail par l'intermédiaire d'un seul berceau. Dans ce cas, le motoréducteur présente une extrémité conformée pour venir dans le rail et est lié au niveau de son autre extrémité au berceau. Un câble électrique 5 permettant l'alimentation du motoréducteur 2 relie celui-ci à une source d' énergie extérieure au rail 1 et située sur la structure 20 du bâtiment. Ce câble 5 entre dans le rail 1 par le haut ou par une ouverture réalisée dans l'une de ses ailes avant de rejoindre le motoréducteur 2.An elastic ring 7 having a U shape and made of an elastic material such as spring steel is positioned on the rail 1 so as to keep the gearmotor 2 in position in the rail. Its two lateral wings 8a and 8b come into contact with the wings 11a and 11b of the rail 1 and its intermediate wing comes to be housed in a shoulder 13 produced on one of the two cradles 3 in order to ensure its holding function. It should be noted that the gearmotor can be placed in position in the rail by means of a single cradle. In this case, the gearmotor has one end shaped to come into the rail and is linked at its other end to the cradle. An electric cable 5 allowing the supply of the geared motor 2 connects it to a source of energy external to the rail 1 and located on the structure 20 of the building. This cable 5 enters the rail 1 from the top or through an opening made in one of its wings before joining the geared motor 2.
Un chemin en forme de canal 10a curviligne réalisé dans un des berceaux 3 permet de guider et d' orienter le câble 5 à l'intérieur du rail 1. Le canal a une section circulaire dont le diamètre est légèrement supérieure au diamètre du câble électrique 5.A curved channel-shaped path 10a produced in one of the cradles 3 makes it possible to guide and orient the cable 5 inside the rail 1. The channel has a circular section whose diameter is slightly greater than the diameter of the electric cable 5 .
La forme de ce canal 10a permet au câble de suivre la paroi inférieure du rail 1 avant de pénétrer dans le berceau 3. Une telle forme peut être obtenue très facilement par exemple par moulage. On peut de cette manière faire cheminer le câble 5 à l'intérieur du rail 1 afin d'améliorer l'esthétisme du dispositif sans risquer que celui-ci vienne se prendre dans le mécanisme de commande des déplacements des lames.The shape of this channel 10a allows the cable to follow the bottom wall of the rail 1 before entering the cradle 3. Such a shape can be obtained very easily, for example by molding. In this way, the cable 5 can be routed inside the rail 1 in order to improve the aesthetics of the device without risking that it comes to get caught in the mechanism for controlling the movements of the blades.
Une variante de ce mode réalisation, représentée aux figures 3 et 4, diffère en ce que le dispositif comprend un berceau 3 présentant une rainure 10b permettant d'orienter le câble vers le haut du rail. Cette rainure a une largeur et une profondeur au moins égale au diamètre du câble 5. La face extrême du motoréducteur 2 venant en contact avec ce berceau 3 vient réaliser un couvercle sur cette rainure 10b pour former un conduit. L'anneau élastique 7 empêche le câble 5 de sortir vers le haut du rail et guide celui- ci vers la gauche.A variant of this embodiment, shown in Figures 3 and 4, differs in that the device comprises a cradle 3 having a groove 10b for orienting the cable up the rail. This groove has a width and a depth at least equal to the diameter of the cable 5. The end face of the geared motor 2 coming into contact with this cradle 3 comes to form a cover on this groove 10b for form a conduit. The elastic ring 7 prevents the cable 5 from coming out towards the top of the rail and guides the latter to the left.
Une variante de ce mode réalisation, représentée aux figures 5 et 6, diffère en ce que le dispositif comprend un berceau 3 présentant une rainure 10c permettant d' orienter le câble vers le haut à l'extérieur du rail. Cette rainure 10c a une largeur et une profondeur au moins égale au diamètre du câble 5. La face extrême du motoréducteur 2 venant en contact avec ce berceau 3 vient réaliser un couvercle sur cette rainure 10c pour former un conduit.A variant of this embodiment, shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, differs in that the device comprises a cradle 3 having a groove 10c making it possible to orient the cable upwards outside the rail. This groove 10c has a width and a depth at least equal to the diameter of the cable 5. The end face of the geared motor 2 coming into contact with this cradle 3 comes to form a cover on this groove 10c to form a conduit.
Ces rainures réalisées sur les berceaux et ces conduits réalisés dans les berceaux 3, peuvent aussi être réalisés sur le motoréducteur ou dans le motoréducteur .These grooves made on the cradles and these conduits made in the cradles 3 can also be made on the geared motor or in the geared motor.
On réalise de préférence plusieurs rainures et/ou plusieurs conduits sur les berceaux et sur le motoréducteur, ainsi l'installateur peut orienter le câble électrique de la manière qui lui semble la plus judicieuse en faisant passer celui-ci dans l'une ou l'autre des rainures ou des conduits en fonction du sens d'installation du dispositif et de la localisation de la source d'énergie.Preferably several grooves and / or several conduits are made on the cradles and on the gearmotor, so the installer can orient the electric cable in the way which seems to him the most judicious by passing it in one or the other grooves or conduits depending on the direction of installation of the device and the location of the energy source.
On peut envisager de réaliser, comme représenté à la figure 8, des conduits formés à partir de rainures 34 pratiquées dans un berceau 3 et venant en vis-à-vis de rainures 33 pratiquées dans le motoréducteur 2.We can consider making, as shown in Figure 8, conduits formed from grooves 34 made in a cradle 3 and facing opposite grooves 33 made in the gear motor 2.
Les rainures et les conduits décrits précédemment présentent des dimensions légèrement supérieures à celles de la section du câble électrique afin que celui-ci conserve un jeu dans les rainures et les conduits .The grooves and conduits described above have dimensions slightly greater than those of the section of the electric cable so that it retains a play in the grooves and conduits.
Cependant, on peut envisager de réaliser des rainures et des conduits dont les dimensions sont légèrement inférieures à celles de la section du câble électrique de manière à ce que celui-ci soit introduit en le déformant et soit freiné une fois en place.However, one can consider making grooves and conduits whose dimensions are slightly smaller than those of the section of the electric cable so that it is introduced by deforming it and is braked once in place.
Comme représenté à la figure 7, des saillies 30 peuvent être réalisées de part et d'autre de la partie supérieure de rainures 32 de telle sorte que la distance entre deux saillies 30 en vis-à-vis soit légèrement inférieure au diamètre du câble afin de retenir celui-ci une fois qu'il a été engagé dans celles-ci .As shown in FIG. 7, projections 30 can be made on either side of the upper part of grooves 32 so that the distance between two facing projections 30 is slightly less than the diameter of the cable so to retain it once it has been engaged in them.
Le rail peut présenter des lamelles élastiques liées par une de leurs extrémités aux ailes du rail et permettant de retenir, par pincement entre l'autre de leurs extrémités et le rail, le câble électrique.The rail may have elastic strips linked by one of their ends to the wings of the rail and making it possible to retain, by pinching between the other of their ends and the rail, the electric cable.
D'autres types d'attaches peuvent encore être utilisés pour lier le câble au rail afin de le guider vers la source d'énergie. Le rail en forme de U est décrit présentant une ouverture orientée vers le haut, cependant cette ouverture peut être orientée dans n' importe quelle autre direction. Le rail peut encore consister en un profilé ayant une forme de section autre qu'un U. Other types of fasteners can also be used to tie the cable to the rail in order to guide it to the energy source. The U-shaped rail is described having an opening oriented upwards, however this opening can be oriented in any other direction. The rail may also consist of a profile having a section shape other than a U.
