Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a vibration insulation device for an awning fabric shaft that is designed to reduce vibration and noise. The device includes a mounting head, radial damping member, and support head that work together to decouple the motor drive from the fabric shaft. The support head protects the motor drive from rotation in the fabric shaft, and the radial damping member fixes the motor drive to the holding bracket to prevent vibration. The design of the mounting head and radial damping member ensures a compact and stable connection, while the cross-sectional shape of the components ensures effective torque transmission. A mounting sleeve is also used for easy installation and optimal fabric shaft support. Overall, the vibration insulation device improves the performance and longevity of the awning.

Problems solved by technology

Particularly when awning installations are operated automatically using intelligent control systems, the sound produced during operation poses a problem.
This noise is extremely disturbing to the tenants of the building as it disturbs their peace or even interrupts their sleep.
The drawback of this low-vibration bearing is that it is positioned between the holding bracket of the awning and the motor head.
Due to the additional acoustic components, this system is more complex than a passive vibration and noise damping system.

Embodiment Construction

[0033]With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the partially shown awning comprises two holding brackets 1 arranged on a base member not shown in greater detail, of which only one is shown in the drawings. For clarity, the mentioned base member by means of which the awning is secured to a housing wall or the like is omitted from the Figures as well.

[0034]The awning is a housing awning in which the components are arranged in a housing 2. These components essentially include the tube-shaped fabric shaft 3 which is mounted between the holding bracket 1 shown in the Figures and the second holding bracket; the fabric shaft 3 is mounted for rotation on the holding brackets 1 in a way that is set out below. An awning fabric 4 which is shown dashed in FIG. 3 can be wound in and out by means of the fabric shaft 3. The extending and retracting movement of the awning fabric 4 is of no importance in the present invention; it can for example be performed using joint arms and a drop-out bar together with ...
