ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN  The field of application of the present invention is part of the industry sector dedicated to the manufacture and installation of awnings and overhangs, focusing on the development of automated protection systems for them. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Existen en el mercado un gran número de sensores climáticos para la detección de viento, lluvia y sol. Dichos sistemas sensores se presentan por separado o en conjunto en un solo dispositivo en función de la aplicación. Entre ellos encontramos: sensores de lluvia y sol para persianas automáticas, sensores de lluvia para sistemas de riego, sensores de lluvia, viento y sol para toldos, entre otros. En concreto dentro de los sistemas de automatización de toldos, existen múltiples dispositivos sensores de viento, lluvia y sol. Algunos de ellos son por ejemplo: There are a large number of climate sensors on the market for the detection of wind, rain and sun. These sensor systems are presented separately or together in a single device depending on the application. Among them are: rain and sun sensors for automatic blinds, rain sensors for irrigation systems, rain, wind and sun sensors for awnings, among others. Specifically within the awning automation systems, there are multiple wind, rain and sun sensing devices. Some of them are for example:
- El sistema Wind-TR de la empresa LUXUM que dispone de varios modelos de sensor para el viento, sol y temperatura. Estos sensores detectan el viento, sol y temperatura, actuando sobre el toldo en función de los umbrales ajustados durante la instalación del mismo. Las características básicas de éste dispositivo son el sensado de viento mediante anemómetro, el sensado de sol y temperatura y la activación de motor vía radio.  - The Wind-TR system of the LUXUM company that has several sensor models for wind, sun and temperature. These sensors detect wind, sun and temperature, acting on the awning according to the thresholds set during installation. The basic characteristics of this device are wind sensing by anemometer, sun and temperature sensing and motor activation via radio.
- El sistema NEMO de la empresa NICE S.p.A., que dispone de varios modelos de sensor para sol, sol y viento, sol y lluvia, sol, viento y lluvia. Las características básicas de éste dispositivo son el sensado de viento mediante anemómetro, la activación de la función por umbral programable entre 5 y 80 km/h, el sensado de sol mediante célula fotovoltaica que también se utiliza para alimentar el dispositivo en el caso de sensado de sol, o sol y viento.  - The NEMO system of the company NICE S.p.A., which has several sensor models for sun, sun and wind, sun and rain, sun, wind and rain. The basic characteristics of this device are wind sensing by anemometer, activation of the function by programmable threshold between 5 and 80 km / h, sun sensing by photovoltaic cell that is also used to power the device in the case of sensing of sun, or sun and wind.
- El sistema Soliris de la empresa SOMFY, cuyas características principales son el control de la subida y bajada de toldos en función del sol y el cierre del toldo cuando se supera el umbral de velocidad de viento prefijada.  - The Soliris system of the company SOMFY, whose main characteristics are the control of the rise and fall of awnings depending on the sun and the closure of the awning when the predetermined wind speed threshold is exceeded.
- El sistema Eolis 3D de la empresa SOMFY, es un sensor de vibración del toldo, producida principalmente por el viento, basado en un acelerometro tri-axial y controla el motor del toldo mediante una señal de radio. Sus características principales son la detección del movimiento del toldo debido al viento, detectando la vibración en 3 dimensiones mediante el uso de un acelerometro. Para su calibración, el usuario aplica una vibración umbral manualmente, que quedan registrada en el dispositivo que es alimentado por baterías no recargables con una duración aproximada de 5 años.  - The Eolis 3D system of the company SOMFY, is a vibration sensor of the awning, produced mainly by the wind, based on a tri-axial accelerometer and controls the motor of the awning by means of a radio signal. Its main characteristics are the detection of the movement of the awning due to the wind, detecting the vibration in 3 dimensions through the use of an accelerometer. For calibration, the user applies a threshold vibration manually, which is recorded in the device that is powered by non-rechargeable batteries with an approximate duration of 5 years.
- La central sol-viento Argos de Gaviota-SIMBAC que integra en un solo dispositivo el sensado de sol, viento y regulaciones. Dicha central se encarga de activar el motor de uno o varios toldos en función de la radiación solar o del viento, siendo este último factor el que prevalece, de forma que el toldo siempre esté recogido en caso de viento excesivo.  - The Argos de Gaviota-SIMBAC sun-wind power plant that integrates the sun, wind and regulations sensing into a single device. This central is responsible for activating the motor of one or several awnings depending on solar or wind radiation, the latter factor prevailing, so that the awning is always collected in case of excessive wind.
De todos ellos, únicamente el Eolis 3D es el único diseñado específicamente como elemento de protección de toldos basado en la medida directa de una vibración puntual de una parte del toldo comparada con un valor preestablecido previamente. Of all of them, only the Eolis 3D is the only one specifically designed as a protection element for awnings based on the direct measurement of a point vibration of a part of the awning compared to a previously preset value.
Del estudio del estado de la técnica se extrae que la gran mayoría de sistemas de protección de viento para toldos se basan en la medida del viento mediante un anemómetro, que cierra automáticamente el toldo cuando se supera un cierta velocidad umbral programada. En cuanto a la protección por lluvia, los sistemas existentes se basan en detectar la deposición de agua sobre el sensor, no midiendo dichos sistemas la cantidad de agua acumulada en el toldo. From the study of the state of the art it is extracted that the great majority of wind protection systems for awnings are based on the measurement of the wind by means of an anemometer, which automatically closes the awning when a certain programmed threshold speed. As for rain protection, the existing systems are based on detecting the deposition of water on the sensor, said systems not measuring the amount of water accumulated in the awning.
La presencia de agua o lodo acumulados en un toldo puede aconsejar la recogida del mismo aplicando un par distinto en cada uno de los brazos. Las características diferenciales del equipo objeto de la invención permite la recogida no síncrona controlada cuando ello sea necesario. El equipo objeto de la invención permitiría también iniciar un protocolo especial de recogida si el peso soportado o la irregular distribución del mismo pone en peligro la propia estructura mientras que paralelamente podría iniciar un aviso acústico o una señal al control general.  The presence of water or mud accumulated in an awning may advise its collection by applying a different pair in each of the arms. The differential characteristics of the equipment object of the invention allows non-synchronous controlled collection when necessary. The equipment object of the invention would also allow to initiate a special collection protocol if the weight supported or the irregular distribution of the same jeopardizes the structure itself, while in parallel it could initiate an acoustic warning or a signal to the general control.

Also, the awning incorporates a process unit (8) and an alarm management unit (1 1) In the event that in these conditions the sensor (3) perceives a vibration produced by wind whose valuation indicates the start of collection of the awning (30), a specific action protocol stored in the memory unit (7) is initiated. Depending on the awning model, the protocol will issue a warning to the alarm management center through the alarm management unit (1 1) so that the personnel under the awning can be notified of the specific circumstance, and in parallel it starts the execution of a program stored in the memory unit (7) which, by means of the process unit (8) calculates the torque needed to force a slight torsion in the awning (30) that causes the water to drain .
Puesto que al disminuir el volumen de agua disminuye el peso y por tanto el par necesario, el sistema tiene que actuar realimentado, recibiendo constantemente los datos del sensor (3), de los motores de los brazos (31 , 32) y del dispositivo de referencia (4) por medio de comunicación RF para así mantener pero no aumentar la torsión hasta que sea necesario. Mediante este equipo, se puede imprimir un funcionamiento diferenciado en cada uno los motores para crear por ejemplo un desnivel en la dirección adecuada hasta conseguir vaciar ordenadamente el agua acumulada en el toldo.  Since decreasing the volume of water decreases the weight and therefore the necessary torque, the system has to act feedback, constantly receiving the data of the sensor (3), the motors of the arms (31, 32) and the device of reference (4) by means of RF communication in order to maintain but not increase the torque until necessary. By means of this equipment, a differentiated operation can be printed on each one of the motors to create, for example, an unevenness in the proper direction until the accumulated water in the awning is emptied.
A la vista de lo anterior, el procedimiento de control del equipo objeto de la presente invención comprendería las siguientes etapas:  In view of the foregoing, the control procedure of the equipment object of the present invention would comprise the following steps:
a) lectura de datos mediante al menos un sensor base (3)  a) reading data using at least one base sensor (3)
b) transmisión de los datos desde dicho sensor base (3) a una unidad de proceso (8) a través de una unidad de comunicación (9),  b) transmission of the data from said base sensor (3) to a process unit (8) through a communication unit (9),

e) ejecución de un protocolo de actuación almacenado en la unidad de memoria (7) si los valores calculados por el algoritmo así lo determinan.  e) execution of an action protocol stored in the memory unit (7) if the values calculated by the algorithm so determine.
Asimismo, y adicionalmente, la unidad de proceso (8) puede recibir información de sensores tipo capaces de obtener, elaborar y trasmitir información relevante acerca de parámetros tales como humedad, lluvia, temperatura, velocidad del viento, radiación UV y esfuerzos específicos, entre otros.  Likewise, and additionally, the process unit (8) can receive information from type sensors capable of obtaining, elaborating and transmitting relevant information about parameters such as humidity, rain, temperature, wind speed, UV radiation and specific stresses, among others .
El equipo puede por tanto, a partir de los datos obtenidos del sensor (3), proporcionar una medida de la posición relativa de éste respecto a una o varias referencias fijas, dar una medida del ángulo que forma los brazos del toldo o voladizo respecto al plano de sujeción, de las diferencias angulares entre dos brazos y de la horizontalidad y verticalidad gravitacional de la pieza. The equipment can therefore, from the data obtained from the sensor (3), provide a measure of its relative position with respect to one or several fixed references, give a measure of the angle that forms the awning or cantilever arms with respect to the plane of subjection, of the angular differences between two arms and of the horizontality and gravitational verticality of the piece.
Asimismo, el equipo también puede a partir de los datos obtenidos del sensor proporcionar una medida de los esfuerzos soportados por la estructura, calcular las posiciones de resonancia y anti resonancia del toldo o voladizo en función de las características observadas del agente externo y a través del modelo almacenado, calcular las posiciones de resonancia y anti resonancia del toldo o voladizo en función de las características observadas del agente externo y anticipar la evolución de los efectos del viento sobre la estructura para actuar en consecuencia.  Likewise, the equipment can also, based on the data obtained from the sensor, provide a measure of the stresses supported by the structure, calculate the resonance and anti-resonance positions of the awning or cantilever according to the observed characteristics of the external agent and through the model stored, calculate the resonance and anti-resonance positions of the awning or cantilever based on the observed characteristics of the external agent and anticipate the evolution of the effects of the wind on the structure to act accordingly.
