Description

Title of the invention: Manual control device Technical field of the invention

[0001] The technical field of the invention relates to remote manual control, for example to control an electromechanical actuator for controlling a sun protection or blackout screen, or more generally to control home automation equipment. More particularly, the invention relates to a manual control device, in particular for such home automation equipment.

[0002] The present invention can be applied in particular in the field of home automation. State of the prior art

[0003] It is known to use a manual control device connected to an actuator whose function can be controlled via the manual control device. The manual control device is operated via an interface known as an aesthetic interface which is intended to receive pressure forces exerted by a user, for example, to operate a corresponding switch on an electronic control module of the manual control device.

[0004] During a construction site, whether it is a construction or renovation site, once the manual control device is installed, it is advisable to protect the latter, for example to avoid splashes of paint or plaster on the aesthetic interface.

[0005] In order to ensure this protection, it is known to use a disposable flexible plastic protective piece applied to the aesthetic interface. This protective piece is used during the construction site and then discarded once the construction site is finished. This protective piece is superimposed on the aesthetic interface. This results in a waste of material and a lot of waste thrown away at the end of the construction site.

[0006] There is therefore a need to protect the aesthetic interface during a construction site while limiting waste and ecological impact. Subject of the invention

[0007] An object of the invention is to aim for a solution making it possible to protect an aesthetic interface during a construction site, preferably while limiting waste and ecological impact.

[0008] To this end, the invention relates to a manual control device comprising: • an electronic control module comprising: • a box; • a plate attached to the housing so as to form a closed housing; • a printed circuit positioned in the housing; • a first switch capable of selectively occupying an active state and an inactive state, the first switch being mounted on the printed circuit; • an actuation assembly comprising a first support region having a capacity for movement relative to the electronic control module such that a support force exerted on the first support region causes a movement of the first support region from a first position to a second position resulting in a change in the state of the first switch; the turntable including: • first mounting means cooperating with the actuation assembly so as to ensure reversible mounting of the actuation assembly to the electronic control module; • second mounting means, independent of the first mounting means, capable of reversibly mounting a control assembly comprising a first support zone having, when said control assembly is mounted on the second mounting means, an ability to move relative to the electronic control module so that a support force exerted on the first support zone of the control assembly causes a movement of the first support zone from a first position to a second position resulting in a change in the operating state of the first switch.

[0009] The presence of the first and second mounting means allows different reversible mounting possibilities which make it possible to selectively install a site control interface, or an aesthetic control interface, or an aesthetic control interface over a site control interface which will remain permanently on the electronic control module.

[0010] The manual control device may further comprise one or more of the following features.

[0011] According to a characteristic of the manual control device, the second mounting means are accessible when the actuating assembly cooperates with the first mounting means.

[0012] This embodiment is typically that of a construction site control interface. As a result, the size of the actuation assembly is smaller than the size of the control assembly. The actuation assembly is therefore less expensive than the control assembly, particularly in terms of raw material, because it can be reduced to the strict minimum to ensure the function of the assembly. actuation, namely at least allowing the actuation of the first switch.

[0013] According to a characteristic of the manual control device, the first mounting means comprise at least one clipping element, for example a cylindrical shaft, and the actuation assembly comprises at least one clipping member, for example a clamp, clipped with the clipping element so as to provide a possibility of relative rotation between said at least one clipping element and said at least one clipping member.

[0014] This allows the actuator assembly to be mounted and dismounted very simply and repeatably to the electronic control module. The actuator assembly can thus easily be used temporarily on a construction site.

[0015] According to a characteristic of the manual control device, the electronic control module comprises a second switch capable of selectively occupying an active state and an inactive state, the second switch being mounted on the printed circuit; the actuation assembly comprises a second support region having a capacity for movement relative to the electronic control module so that a support force exerted on the second support region causes a movement of the second support region from a first position to a second position which results in a change in the state of the second switch.

[0016] This makes it possible to provide two functions, for example if the manual control device is associated with an external actuator such as a roller shutter motor, activation of the first switch can trigger the transmission of a command to open the roller shutter and activation of the second switch can trigger the transmission of a command to close the roller shutter.

[0017] According to a characteristic of the manual control device, the actuation assembly comprises a first part comprising the first support region, and a second part comprising the second support region, the first and second parts of the actuation assembly being integral with the first mounting means so as to allow the movement capability of the first support region and the movement capability of the second support region.

[0018] This allows independent actuation of the first switch and the second switch, respectively via a pressing force exerted on the first pressing region and via a pressing force exerted on the second pressing region by a user.

[0019] According to a characteristic of the manual control device, the first mounting means and the first part are assembled by at least a first clipping allowing a degree of freedom in pivoting between the first mounting means and the first part; and the second part is assembled by at least a second clipping with the first part or with the first mounting means allowing a degree of freedom in pivoting between the first mounting means and the second part. part.

[0020] The clip-on or elastic assembly of the two parts of the actuating assembly is advantageous in the sense that it is easily adaptable according to the use to be made of the manual control device.

[0021] According to a characteristic of the manual control device, the first and second clippings are achieved by cooperation of a clamp of the first part and a clamp of the second part with the same cylindrical shaft, with the possibility of rotation around said cylindrical shaft.

[0022] This solution is particularly suitable in particular for allowing the aforementioned degrees of freedom in pivoting of the two parts on a common shaft and thus simplifying the production of the first mounting means.

[0023] According to a characteristic of the manual control device, the manual control device is such that: • the electronic control module comprises a third switch capable of selectively occupying an active state and an inactive state, the third switch being mounted on the printed circuit and accessible through an access hole in the board; • the second part comprises a third support region, intended to receive a support force, and a support pin configured to actuate the third switch through the access hole when said support force is exerted on the third support region, the third support region having the ability to move independently of the second support region by elastic deformation of a portion of the second part when said support force is exerted on the third support region.

[0024] This solution is particularly suitable for enabling the third switch to be actuated while limiting costs because the same part, the second part, allows, by elastic deformation, the third switch to be actuated independently of the actuation of the second switch, which is then done by pivoting the second part around the two cylindrical elements, and of the actuation of the first switch, which is then done by pivoting the first part around the two cylindrical elements.

[0025] For example, the plate comprises two cylindrical shafts and two recesses, each of which is crossed by one of the cylindrical shafts, the cylindrical shafts each crossing one of the recesses being coaxial, the plate also comprising the access hole arranged between the two recesses, the first part and the second part of the actuation assembly each comprising a pair of clamps so that each of the first and second parts of the actuation assembly is clipped via its clamps to the two cylindrical shafts;

[0026] According to a characteristic of the manual control device, the first mounting means are arranged under the control assembly when the latter cooperates with the second mounting means.

[0027] This makes it possible to hide these first mounting means between the control assembly and the plate. This embodiment allows the use of an aesthetic control interface, corresponding to the control assembly, installed for the end user in a building at the end of construction.

[0028] According to a characteristic of the manual control device, the control assembly comprises a base mounted on the plate with the second mounting means and a control button comprising the first support zone, the control button being mounted movably on the base so as to allow the first support zone to move so that when the support force is exerted on the first support zone of the control assembly, this causes the support force to be exerted on the first support region.

[0029] Thus, the second mounting means make it possible to selectively fix to the support a fixed base, on which is mounted the movable control button or a part intended to be movable relative to the support of a control assembly. This allows flexibility of use of the electronic control module. The second mounting means are thus versatile.

[0030] According to a characteristic of the manual control device, the control button comprises a second support zone and a third support zone arranged so that: • when a support force is exerted on the second support zone, this causes the control button to exert the support force on the second support region; • when a support force is exerted on the third support zone, this causes the control button to exert the support force on the third support region.

[0031] This makes it possible to confer three functions on the manual control device, allowing for example to selectively lower a mobile screen, fold the mobile screen, stop the current movement of the mobile screen.

[0032] The invention also relates to a method for managing a construction site in an environment, said method comprising the following successive steps consisting of: a) carrying out a phase of work in the environment, at least one manual control device as described and the second mounting means of which are unused being arranged in the environment, the first support region of the actuation assembly being intended to be stressed so that the actuation assembly cooperates with the first switch of the electronic control module during step a); b) mounting the control assembly to the second mounting means; the method comprising, during step a), at least one activation of the first switch by the actuation assembly generating, by the electronic control module, a control order for an actuator, and a transmission of the generated control order to the actuator.

[0033] This makes it possible to conduct the work while enabling a function controlled by the first switch to be activated or deactivated during the work without prejudice to a final user control interface, and for example more expensive in particular in terms of raw material, corresponding to the control assembly. The control assembly can be mounted on the plate at the end of the work over the actuation assembly or after removal of the actuation assembly.

[0034] The fact that the control assembly can be removed in order to conduct the work allows, in particular, renovation or cleaning to be carried out.

[0035] Also, outside the framework of a construction site and therefore of the method, this can more generally allow access to a programming button of the electronic control module which would be hidden under the control assembly when it is mounted on the second mounting means, while retaining the manual control device functional via the actuation assembly.

[0036] The method may comprise, after step a) and before step b), a step of removing the actuation assembly.

[0037] Thus, the actuation assembly can be removed for reuse, for example on another construction site.

[0038] The invention also relates to a kit for assembling a manual control device, the kit comprising: • an electronic control module comprising: • a box; • a plate secured to the housing so as to form a closed housing, the plate comprising first mounting means and second mounting means independent of the first mounting means; • a printed circuit positioned in the housing; • a first switch capable of selectively occupying an active state and an inactive state, the first switch being mounted on the printed circuit; • an actuation assembly intended to be mounted to the first mounting means, the actuation assembly comprising a first support region and being configured so that the first support region has, when said actuating assembly is mounted on the first mounting means, a movement capability relative to the electronic control module so that a bearing force exerted on the first bearing region causes a movement of the first bearing region from a first position to a second position resulting in a change in the state of the first switch; • the second mounting means being suitable for the reversible mounting of a control assembly comprising a first support zone having, when said control assembly is mounted on the second mounting means, an ability to move relative to the electronic control module so that a support force exerted on the first support zone of the control assembly causes a movement of the first support zone from a first position to a second position resulting in a change in the operating state of the first switch.

[0039] Such a kit makes it possible to assemble a manual control device making it possible in particular to manage a work site while making it possible to activate or deactivate a function controlled by the first switch during the work site without prejudice to a definitive and in particular more expensive user control interface that will form the control assembly and which will be mounted on the plate at the end of the work above the actuation assembly or after removal of the actuation assembly.

[0040] The kit may include the control assembly.

[0041] Such a kit includes everything needed to conduct the work and to finalize the manual control device at the end of the work by installing the control assembly.

[0056] In these figures, the same references are used, unless otherwise stated, to designate the same elements. The elements represented in the different figures are not necessarily drawn to scale in order to facilitate understanding of the figures. Detailed description

[0057] The invention relates to a manual control device 100 comprising an electronic control module 101 and an actuation assembly 102, for example as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 11.

[0058] In particular, the manual control device 100 is intended to be used by a user.

[0059] By “user” is understood any person likely to interact with the manual control device 100, for example by exerting pressure forces, in particular using a finger, on the actuation assembly 102 or a control assembly 111 as will be seen later.

[0060] The electronic control module 101 comprises: a housing 103; a plate 105 secured to the housing 103 (not visible in figures 11 and 12 because it is behind the plate 105) so as to form a closed housing 104; a printed circuit 106 positioned in the housing 104; a first switch 107 capable of selectively occupying an active state and an inactive state, the first switch 107 being mounted on the printed circuit 106, and therefore also preferably positioned in the housing 104.

[0061] Preferably, the first switch 107 can vary between the active state and the inactive state under the effect of external mechanical pressure applied to the first switch 107, in particular applied by the actuation assembly 102 or the control assembly 111. Thus, for example, it is possible to provide different operating possibilities for the first switch 107 in the sense that: • applying a one-time or sustained pressure on the first switch 107 can allow it to switch from the inactive state to the active state; or • applying a one-time or sustained pressure to the first switch 107 can allow it to switch from the active state to the inactive state.

[0062] More particularly, the housing 103 can form the housing 104 which the plate 105 closes.

[0063] For example, the plate 105 is clipped onto the housing 103 or assembled by any other means (for example screws) allowing the plate 105 to be fixed to the housing 103.

[0064] The actuation assembly 102 comprises a first support region 108 having a capacity for movement relative to the electronic control module 101 such that a support force F1 exerted on the first support region 108 causes a movement of the first support region 108 from a first position to a second position resulting in a change in the state of the first switch 107.

[0065] The plate 105 comprises first mounting means 109 capable of cooperating, and in particular cooperating, with the actuation assembly 102 so as to ensure mounting, in particular reversible mounting, of the actuation assembly 102 to the electronic control module 101.

[0066] These first mounting means 109 can allow the first support region 108 to move, for example by mounting the actuation assembly 102 on the plate 105 according to a pivot connection shown diagrammatically by a pivot axis A1 of the first support region 108 in [Fig.l].

[0067] The plate 105 further comprises second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d (see for example [Fig.3] and [Fig.11]), independent of the first mounting means 109, suitable for reversible mounting of the control assembly 111 as for example illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5.

[0068] The control assembly 111 comprises a first support zone 112 having, when said control assembly 111 is mounted on the second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d, a movement capability relative to the electronic control module 101 such that a support force F4 exerted on the first support zone 112 of the control assembly causes a movement of the first support zone 112 from a first position to a second position resulting in a change in the operating state of the first switch 107. This movement capability of the first support zone 112 may be a rotation along a pivot axis A2 ([Fig.4]).

[0069] In order to allow the operating state of the first switch 107 to be changed, when the first support region 108 varies from its first position to its second position, this can cause a support pin 122a (called the first support pin 122a), belonging to the actuation assembly 102, to then bear on the first switch 107 in particular through an access hole 123a, called the first access hole 123a, of the plate 105 (see in this regard in particular FIGS. 2, 5 and 12). The first access hole 123a is formed through the plate 105 so that the first support pin 122a can access the first switch 107 inside the housing 104.

[0070] Preferably, the first position of the first support region 108 is a stable inactive position, in particular for which the first switch 107 is in the inactive state, and the second position of the first region 108 is an unstable active position, in particular for which the first switch 107 is in the active state because the positioning of the first support region 108 in the second position causes the actuation assembly 102 to bear on the first switch 107.

[0071] Preferably, the first position of the first support zone 112 is a stable inactive position, in particular for which the first switch 107 is in the inactive state, and the second position of the first zone 112 is an unstable active position, in particular for which the first switch 107 is in the active state because the positioning of the first support zone 112 in the second position means that the control assembly 111 is pressing on the first switch 107 (case envisaged for [Fig. 9]) or, where appropriate, on the actuation assembly 102 then pressing on the first switch 107 (case envisaged for [Fig. 5]).

[0072] Preferably, the first support region 108 is rigid, i.e. non-deformable under the effect of the support force Fl considered, allowing it to vary from its first position to its second position.

[0073] Preferably, the first support zone 112 is rigid, i.e. non-deformable under the effect of the support force F4 considered, allowing it to vary from its first position to its second position.

[0074] According to a particular exemplary embodiment, the actuation assembly 102, such as visible in [Fig.l], can be used on a construction site and can adopt a minimalist form in the sense that it is inexpensive and is shaped to simply perform its function, for example at least activating the first switch 107.

[0075] According to a particular embodiment, the control assembly 111, as seen in [Fig. 4], can form an aesthetic interface in the sense that this control assembly 111 can be used by an end user within a building. It can be noted that the control assembly 111 of [Fig. 4] is larger in terms of dimensions and volume than the actuation assembly 102 shown in [Fig. 1], which in particular results in a higher cost in terms of material used to form it compared to the actuation assembly 102 of [Fig. 1].

[0076] The role of the electronic control module 101 is in particular to receive instructions from the user which correspond to manual actions (pressure forces on the control assembly 111 or on the actuation assembly 102) in order to generate control orders for controlling an actuator associated with the manual control device 100 and located remotely from the latter. For example, an action on the first switch 107, corresponding in particular to the transition from its inactive state to its active state, makes it possible to electronically transcribe a manual action executed by the user at the level of the control assembly 111 or the actuation assembly 102 in order to generate a control order for the actuator.

[0077] As an example for the purpose of simple illustration, it is considered in the present description that the actuator or electromechanical actuator is a device for rolling up or unrolling a movable screen, for example a roller shutter or a canvas blind, on a rotating shaft coupled to the actuator. A control order transmitted by the manual control device 100 can then be at least one signal representative of a user instruction chosen from: lowering or deploying the movable screen (i.e. unrolling it from the rotating shaft); raising or folding the movable screen (i.e. winding it around the rotating shaft); stopping the movement of the movable screen (i.e. stopping the user instruction in progress, for example lowering or raising the movable screen).The electromechanical actuator may comprise for this purpose a motor and an electronic card, the latter comprising in particular a unit for receiving control orders from the associated manual control device 100 and a unit for controlling the motor according to the control orders received. Thus, the electronic control module may comprise the means necessary for transmitting the control orders to the receiving unit.

[0078] For example, the user instruction to lower the movable screen, the movable screen being a rolling shutter, can cause the external face of an opening such as a window to be closed, the user instruction to raise the rolling shutter can cause the rolling shutter to be retracted into a box to allow a maximum of outside light through the opening, the user instruction to stop the roller shutter allows partial obstruction of the external face of the opening by the roller shutter.

[0079] Of course, the electronic control module 101 may comprise several switches such as, in addition to the first switch 107 (also simply called a switch), a second switch 116 and a third switch 117 (also simply called additional switches) as will be seen later, each of which may be associated with a corresponding control command. The different functional possibilities of these or these additional switches may be similar to the different operating possibilities of the first switch 107.

[0080] For example, when the first switch 107 switches to its active state, this triggers the transmission of the associated control order which may be to lower or deploy the mobile screen.

[0081] According to one embodiment, the second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d are accessible when the actuation assembly 102 cooperates with the first mounting means 109 (i.e. when the actuation assembly 102 is mounted on the first mounting means 109). In other words, the second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d can be arranged at the level of the plate around, i.e. at the periphery, of the area of ​​the plate covered by the actuation assembly 102 to allow their accessibility. This allows the control assembly 111 to be mounted over the actuation assembly 102, for example at the end of the work. In this case, when the control assembly 111 is mounted over the actuation assembly 102, the force F1 support exerted on the first support region 108 can be exerted by the control assembly 111 when the support force F4 is exerted on the first support zone 112.The actuation assembly 102 is then not disposable, but serves as an intermediate part making it possible to propagate the support force F4, which can then correspond to a user force on the control assembly 111, to the first switch 107. Subsequently, if a new construction site must take place, it is sufficient to remove the control assembly 111 in order to avoid soiling it while leaving the actuation assembly 102 in place in order to be able to continue to use the manual control device 100 during the construction site.

[0082] Another advantage of retaining the actuation assembly 102 between the electronic control module 101 and the control assembly 111 is that it can allow the propagation of support forces exerted on the control assembly 111 to the first switch 107, in particular when the control assembly 111 is not designed to come directly into contact with the first switch 107.

[0083] Alternatively, if the control assembly 111 allows it, it can be mounted to the second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d to replace the assembly 102. actuation, then removed from the first assembly means 109, when the work is finished. It is then the control assembly 111 which can come to bear on the first switch 107 when the support force F4 is exerted on the first support zone 112 ([Fig.9]).

[0084] Preferably, the first mounting means 109 and the actuation assembly 102 are assembled, for example by clipping, so as to allow a degree of freedom in pivoting between the first mounting means 109 and the first support region 108. For this purpose, the first mounting means 109 comprise at least one clipping element 113a, 113b and the actuation assembly 102 comprises at least one clipping member 114a, 114b clipped with the clipping element 113a, 113b so as to confer a possibility of relative rotation between said at least one clipping element 113a, 113b and said at least one clipping member 114a, 114b.

[0085] This clipping can be achieved, as for example illustrated in figures 3 and 6 by cooperation of at least one cylindrical shaft 113a, 113b that comprises the first mounting means 109 preferably belonging to the plate 105, and at least one clamp 114a, 114b, that comprises the actuating assembly 102, clipped onto said at least one cylindrical shaft 113a, 113b with the possibility of rotation around said at least one cylindrical shaft 113a, 113b. For this purpose, the plate 105 can comprise, as illustrated in [Fig.3], at least one recess 115a, 115b crossed by said at least one cylindrical shaft 113a, 113b. In [Fig.3], the plate comprises two recesses 115a, 115b and two cylindrical shafts 113a, 113b, each recess 115a, 115b being crossed by only one of the two shafts 113a, 113b. The clip-on or elastic assembly assembly is advantageous in the sense that it is reversible by unclipping and in particular easy to implement on site.

[0086] By “cylindrical shaft 113a, 113b”, is meant in particular a straight cylinder thus having an external surface suitable for the rotation of the clamps 114a, 114b clipped onto this cylindrical shaft 113a, 113b.

[0087] Alternatively, as illustrated in Figures 11 and 12, the reference 113a represents a clipping pin carried by an ear 134a facing another ear 134b carrying another clipping pin (not visible in [Fig. 12]). Therefore, the clipping members 114a, 114b may comprise hollows intended to receive the clipping pins while conferring a degree of freedom in rotation along the axis A1 of rotation. The ears 134a, 134b are projections at the level of the face of the plate 105 oriented opposite to the printed circuit 106.

[0088] The second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d may be mounting holes, in particular through holes, provided in the plate 105 and intended to cooperate with retaining means of the control assembly 111.

[0089] It follows from what has been described above that there may be a need to allow dif different interactions with the user. For this purpose, the electronic control module 101 comprises the second switch 116, for example positioned in the housing 104, capable of selectively occupying an active state and an inactive state, the second switch 116 being mounted on the printed circuit 106 (figures 2 and 5). In this case, the actuation assembly 102 further comprises a second support region 118 (figures 2, 5 to 7, 11 and 12) having a capacity for movement relative to the electronic control module 101 so that a support force F2 exerted on the second support region 118 causes a movement of the second support region 118 from a first position to a second position which results in a change in the state of the second 116 switch. The movement capability of the second support region 118 may be a rotation along the pivot axis A1.

[0090] Preferably, the first position of the second support region 118 is a stable inactive position, in particular for which the second switch 116 is in the inactive state, and the second position of the second support region 118 is an unstable active position, in particular for which the second switch 116 is in the active state because the positioning of the second support region 118 in the second position causes the actuation assembly 102 to bear on the second switch 116.

[0091] In order to allow the operating state of the second switch 116 to be changed, when the second support region 118 varies from its first position to its second position, this can cause a support pin 122b (called the second support pin 122b), belonging to the actuation assembly 102, to then bear on the second switch 116 in particular through an access hole 123b, called the second access hole 123b, of the plate 105 (see in this regard in particular FIGS. 2, 5 and 12). The second access hole 123b is formed through the plate 105 so that the second support pin 122b can access the second switch 116 positioned inside the housing 104.

[0092] Preferably, the second support region 118 is rigid, i.e. non-deformable under the effect of the support force F2 considered, allowing it to vary from its first position to its second position.

[0093] Preferably, the clip-on assembly of the first mounting means 109 and the actuation assembly 102 allows a degree of freedom in pivoting (pivoting axis A1) between the first mounting means 109 and the second support region 118.

[0094] For example, when the second switch 116 switches to its active state, this triggers the transmission of the associated control order which may be to raise or fold the mobile screen.

[0095] The actuation assembly 102, for example as illustrated in figures 6, 7, 11 and 12 may comprise a first portion 119 and a second portion 120. The first portion 119 comprises the first support region 108 and the second portion 120 comprises the second support region 118. The first and second portions 119, 120 of the actuation assembly are integral with the first mounting means 109 so as to allow the movement capability of the first support region 108 and the movement capability of the second support region 118.

[0096] According to one embodiment, in particular as illustrated in figures 1, 5, 6 and 7, the first part 119 and the second part 120 of the actuation assembly 102 can each be mounted to the first mounting means 109 independently. The mounting of the first part 119 to the first mounting means 109 allows the first support region 108 to be able to move, and the mounting of the second part 120 of the actuation assembly 102 to the first mounting means 109 allows the second support region 118 to be able to move.

[0097] According to another embodiment, for example as illustrated in figures 11 and 12, the first part 119 of the actuation assembly 102 is clipped to the first mounting means 109 and the second part 120 of the actuation assembly 102 is clipped onto the first part 119 of the actuation assembly 102 in a manner similar to the clipping of the first part 119 of the actuation assembly 102 to the first mounting means 109.

[0098] Preferably, as can be deduced from what has been described above, the first mounting means 109 and the first part 119 of the actuation assembly 102 are assembled by at least a first clipping allowing a degree of freedom in pivoting between the first mounting means 109 and the first part 119 of the actuation assembly 102. In addition, the second part 120 of the actuation assembly 102 is preferably assembled by at least a second clipping with the first part 119 of the actuation assembly 102 or with the first mounting means 109 allowing a degree of freedom in pivoting between the first mounting means 109 and the second part 120 of the actuation assembly 102.

[0099] The first and second parts 119, 120 of the assembly 102 may be independent parts. In other words, the first and second parts 119, 120 of the actuation assembly 102 may not be integral in movement with each other as shown for example in FIGS. 1 and 11.

[0100] For example, the first clipping and the second clipping are achieved by cooperation of a clamp 114a, 114b of the first part 119 of the actuation assembly 102 and a clamp 114c, 114d of the second part 120 of the actuation assembly 102 clipped onto the same cylindrical shaft 113a, 113b with the possibility of rotation around said cylindrical shaft 113a, 113b.

[0101] In the example illustrated in Figures 1, 6 and 7, the first and second parts 119, 120 of the actuation assembly 102 are independent. The first part 119 of the actuation assembly 102 comprises a pair of clamps 114a, 114b, each of the clamps 114a, 114b of said pair of clamps being clipped onto one of the corresponding cylindrical shafts 113a, 113b and the clamps 114a, 114b of said pair of clamps not being clipped onto the same cylindrical shaft 113a, 113b. Furthermore, the second part 120 of the actuation assembly 102 comprises a pair of clamps 114c, 114d, each of the clamps 114c, 114d of said pair of clamps being clipped onto one of the corresponding cylindrical shafts 113a, 113b, the clamps 114c, 114d of said pair of clamps not being clipped onto the same cylindrical shaft 113a, 113b.

[0102] According to an alternative, the first and second parts 119, 120 of the actuation assembly 102 may be integral with the first mounting means 109 so that any movement of one of the first and second parts 119, 120 of the actuation assembly 102 causes a movement of the other of the first and second parts 119, 120 of the actuation assembly 102. In this case, the first and second parts 119, 120 of the control assembly 102 may be part of the same single-piece part, for example mounted to tilt via said at least one clamp 114a, 114b on said at least one cylindrical shaft 113a, 113b or via the clipping pins facing each other.

[0103] Still with the aim of allowing different interactions with the user, the electronic control module 101 may comprise the third switch 117 capable of selectively occupying an active state and an inactive state, the third switch 117 being mounted on the printed circuit 106 and is notably positioned in the housing 104. In order to be able to activate this third switch 117, the second part 120 of the actuation assembly 102 comprises a third 121 support region, intended to receive a support force F3, and a support pin 122c, called the third support pin 122c. The third support pin 122c is configured to actuate the third switch 117 through an access hole 123c, in particular called the third access hole 123c, which the plate 105 comprises when said support force F3 is exerted on the third support region 121.The third support region 121 has the ability to move independently of the second support region 118 by elastic deformation of a portion 124 of the second part 120 of the actuation assembly 102 when said support force F3 is exerted on the third support region 121.

[0104] In fact, it is the deformation of the portion 124 following the support force F3 exerted on the third support region 121 which makes it possible to drive the third support region 121 and the third support pin 122c in order to place the latter in support on the third switch 117 from which it can result in the passage of the third switch 117 from its inactive state to its active state. When the support force F3 exerted on the third support region 121 ceases, the elastically deformed portion 124 allows an automatic return of the third support region 121 in particular to a first position distinct from a second position occupied by the third support region 121 when the support force F3 is exerted on the latter.

[0105] Preferably, the first position of the third support region 121 is a stable inactive position, in particular for which the third switch 117 is in the inactive state, and the second position of the third support region 121 is an unstable active position, in particular for which the third switch 117 is in the active state because the positioning of the third support region 121 in the second position causes the actuation assembly 102 to bear on the third switch 117, in particular via the third support pin 123c.

[0106] Preferably, the third support region 121 is rigid, i.e. non-deformable under the effect of the support force F3 considered, allowing it to vary from its first position to its second position.

[0107] Furthermore, the plate 105 may comprise two recesses 115a, 115b, each of which is traversed by one of the cylindrical shafts 113a, 113b, then notably two in number. The cylindrical shafts 113a, 113b each pass through one of the recesses 115a, 115b and are coaxial. The third access hole 123c is arranged between the two recesses 115a, 115b so that the third switch 117 is accessible through the third access hole 123c without prejudice to the movement capability of the first support region 108 and the movement capability of the second support region 118.

[0108] The first part 119 and the second part 120 of the actuation assembly 102 can then each comprise a pair of clamps 114a, 114b, 114c, 114d so that each of the first and second parts 119, 120 of the actuation assembly 102 is clipped via its clamps 114a, 114b, 114c, 114d to the two cylindrical shafts 113a, 113b. The distribution of the first mounting means 109 on either side of the third access hole 123c also makes it possible to distribute the mounting points and to stabilize the actuation assembly 102 during its pivoting.

[0109] In addition to allowing specific interaction with the user, this particular arrangement makes it possible to limit the number of parts by integrating a key (including the third support pin 122c and the third support region 121) which can be moved independently of the second support region 118 thanks to a local deformation of the second part 120 of the actuation assembly 102.

[0110] For example, switching the third switch 117 to its active state makes it possible to implement the user's instruction corresponding to stopping the movement of the mobile screen, in particular by allowing the transmission of a control order cor responding to the order receiving unit.

[0111] For example, the first mounting means 109 are arranged under the control assembly 111 when the latter cooperates with the second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d. This makes it possible to hide these first mounting means 109, and where appropriate the actuation assembly 102 mounted on these first mounting means 109 and therefore placed under the control assembly 111 which can form the aesthetic interface for the user.

[0112] According to a variant not shown, it is the actuation assembly which can form an aesthetic interface of the type illustrated in [Fig.4]. In this case, the second mounting means can be intended for mounting the control assembly of the type of [Fig.6] for construction sites, and be arranged unused under the actuation assembly. The use case can then be the following: in the event of a desire to carry out a construction site, the actuation assembly mounted on the first mounting means is removed and replaced by the control assembly then mounted on the second mounting means.

[0113] The control assembly 111 may comprise, as illustrated in Figures 4, 5 and 8, a base 125 mounted, for example by clipping, on the plate 105 to the second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, HOd. The control assembly 111 then comprises a control button 126 comprising the first support zone 112. The control button 126 is mounted movably on the base 125 so as to allow the first support zone 112 to move, in particular so that when the support force F4 is exerted on the first support zone 112 of the control assembly 111, this causes the support force Fl to be exerted on the first support region 108. Although not shown in [Fig. 11], such a control assembly 111 can be mounted on the plate 105 by the second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d.

[0114] As mentioned above, the second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d may be mounting holes 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d ([Fig. 3] and 11). Therefore, to mount the control assembly 111 in a suitable manner, the second mounting means may comprise: • a first pair of holes 110a, 110b ([Fig.3] and 11) in which retaining elements 130a, 130b ([Fig.8]) are straddled, for example each formed by a body in the shape of a bracket, belonging to the control assembly 111 and projecting from a face of the control assembly 111 arranged on the side of the plate 105 when the control assembly 111 is mounted there; • a second pair of holes 110c, 110d in which clips 131a, 131b belonging to the control assembly 111 are clipped.

[0115] For example, each retaining clip 131a, 131b comprises a stirrup delimiting a groove, the stirrup and the groove being adapted to cooperate with a projection present on one of the edges of the holes 110c, 110d to ensure clipping between the corresponding clips 131a, 131b and the corresponding hole 110c, 110d.

[0116] The retaining elements 130a, 130b and the clips 131a, 131b form in particular the retaining means mentioned above.

[0117] For example, the base 125 comprises the retaining elements 130a, 130b and the clips 131a, 131b.

[0118] According to a particular embodiment, the control button 126 may comprise a second support zone 127 arranged so that when a support force F5 is exerted on the second support zone 127, this causes the control button 126 to exert the support force F2 on the second support region 118.

[0119] Preferably, the second support zone 127 is rigid, i.e. non-deformable under the effect of the support force F5.

[0120] Generally speaking, the second support zone 127 may have, when said control assembly 111 is mounted on the second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d, a capacity for movement relative to the electronic control module 101 so that the support force F5 exerted on the second support zone 127 of the control assembly 111 causes a movement of the second support zone 127 from a first position to a second position resulting in a change in the operating state of the second switch 116. This capacity for movement is in particular a rotation along the same pivot axis as the pivot axis A2 of the first support zone 112.

[0121] Preferably, the first position of the second support zone 127 is a stable inactive position, in particular for which the second switch 116 is in the inactive state, and the second position of the second support zone 127 is an unstable active position, in particular for which the second switch 116 is in the active state because the positioning of the second support zone 127 in the second position causes the actuation assembly 102, or where appropriate the control assembly 111, to bear on the second switch 116.

[0122] The control button 126 may also comprise a third support zone 128 arranged so that when a support force F6 is exerted on the third support zone 128, this causes the control button 126 to exert the support force F3 on the third support region 121.

[0123] Preferably, the third support zone 128 is rigid, i.e. non-deformable under the effect of the support force F6 considered. Alternatively, the third support zone 128 is deformable under the effect of the support force F6 considered.

[0124] Generally speaking, the third support zone 128 may present, when said control assembly 111 is mounted on the second means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d mounting, a movement capability relative to the electronic control module 101 so that the support force F6 exerted on the third support zone 128 of the control assembly 111 causes a movement of the third support zone 128 from a first position to a second position resulting in a change in the operating state of the third switch 117. This movement capability is in particular a translation in the direction of the printed circuit 106.

[0125] Preferably, the first position of the third support zone 128 is a stable inactive position, in particular for which the third switch 117 is in the inactive state, and the second position of the third zone 128 is an unstable active position, in particular for which the third switch 117 is in the active state because the positioning of the third support zone 127 in the second position causes the actuation assembly 102, or where appropriate the control assembly 111, to bear on the third switch 117.

[0126] The control assembly 111, and in particular its control button 126, may comprise one or more support elements 132a, 132b, 132c (in particular in the form of a pin), for example each intended to come to bear against a support region chosen in particular from the first support region 108, the second support region 118 and the third support region 121 (use case where the actuation assembly 102 is surmounted by the control assembly 111 as shown in [Fig. 5]), or each intended to come to bear against a switch chosen in particular from the first switch 107, the second switch 116 and the third switch 117 (use case where the actuation assembly 102 is absent and where the control assembly 111 is mounted on the plate 105 as shown in [Fig. 9] )•

[0127] As illustrated in Figures 5 and 8, in a configuration where the actuation assembly 102 and the control assembly 111 are mounted on the plate 105, the control button 126 may comprise: • a first support element 132a configured to exert the support force F1 on the first support region 108 when the support force F4 is exerted on the first support zone 112, from which it results that the first support pin 122a exerts a mechanical pressure (i.e. a pressure) on the first switch 107; • a second support element 132b configured to exert the support force F2 on the second support region 118 when the support force F5 is exerted on the second support zone 128, from which it results that the second support pin 122b exerts a mechanical pressure (i.e. a pressure) on the second switch 116; • a third support element 132c configured to exert the support force F3 on the third support region 121 when the support force F6 is exerted on the third support zone 121 from which it results that the third support pin 122c exerts mechanical pressure (i.e. a support) on the third switch 117. Here, the support forces referenced F4, F5, F6 are exerted by the user.

[0128] In the case where the control assembly 111 is mounted on the second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d and the first mounting means 109 are unused (i.e. the actuation assembly 102 is not present within the manual control device 100 - [Fig.9]), the pressing force exerted on any of the first to third pressing zones 112, 127, 128 induces pressing of the control assembly 111 on one of the corresponding first to third switches 107, 116, 117 to switch it to its active state. Therefore: • the first support element 132a of the control assembly 111 can be configured to exert mechanical pressure (i.e. a press) making the first switch 107 active when the support force F4 is exerted on the first support zone 112; • the second support element 132b of the control assembly 111 can be configured to exert mechanical pressure (i.e. a press) making the second switch 116 active when the support force F5 is exerted on the second support zone 127; • the third support element 132c of the control assembly 111 can be configured to exert mechanical pressure (i.e. a press) making the third switch 117 active when the support force F6 is exerted on the third support zone 128. Here, the support forces referenced F4, F5, F6 are exerted by the user.

[0129] In the embodiment where the control assembly 111 comprises the base 125 and the control button 126, the third support element 132c can pass through the base 125, and the first and second support elements 132a, 132b can each pass through the base 125 or extend to its periphery as shown by way of example in [Fig.8].

[0130] Generally, the control assembly 111 may comprise an elastic ring 129 forming a return member, in particular mounted on the base 125, making it possible to urge the first to third support zones 112, 127, 128 towards their stable inactive position and, if necessary, to maintain them there when the control assembly 111 is mounted on the second means 110a, 110b, 110c, HOd. The control button 126 is preferably in contact with the elastic ring 129. This elastic ring 129 is configured to: • maintain, where appropriate, the first, second and third support zones 112, 127, 128 in their stable inactive position when no support force is not exercised on the entire 111 command by the user; • automatically recall the first support zone 112 to its stable inactive position when the first support zone 112 is in its unstable active position and the support force F4 exerted on the first support zone 112 ceases; • automatically recall the second support zone 127 to its stable inactive position when the second support zone 127 is in its unstable active position and the support force F5 exerted on the second support zone 127 ceases.

[0131] The control assembly 111, and more particularly the base 125, may comprise a recess 133 making it possible to at least partially house the actuation assembly 102 when the actuation assembly 102 and the control assembly 111 are both mounted on the plate 105 at their respective first and second mounting means 109, 110a, 110b, 110c, HOd. This makes it possible to limit the size of the manual control device 100.

[0132] Stable inactive and unstable active positions are mentioned above. In particular, the unstable active position of a support zone (first, second or third support zone) or of a support region (first, second or third support region) is said to be “unstable” because it can only be obtained when the corresponding support force is exerted on this support zone or support region: for this purpose, it is provided that the manual control device 100 is configured to allow an automatic return of the support zone or the support region concerned to its stable inactive position when the support force exerted on the latter ceases, hence the notion of stability of the stable inactive position for which the control assembly 111 or the actuation assembly 102 does not allow the corresponding switch (first, second or third switch 107, 116, 117) to be activated.

[0133] The aforementioned automatic return can be implemented in different ways, for example using spring(s) that the manual control device 100 comprises. For the support zones 112, 127, 128, it has been seen that the automatic return could be ensured by the elastic ring 129 then having the spring function. For the support regions 108, 118, 121, the automatic return can be ensured by the switch(es) (where appropriate, chosen from the first, second and third switches) which then each have a deformable cup, in particular a metal one. The deformable cup has a spring effect when it is deformed so as to tend to return to its initial shape (the deformable cup is then said to have shape memory).When the deformable cup is deformed, this is because the actuation assembly 102 exerts pressure on the corresponding switch (where appropriate, chosen from the first, second and third switches 107, 116, 117) from which it results. that the latter is in the active state due to the positioning of the corresponding region (where appropriate, chosen from the first support region 108, the second support region 117 and the third support region 121) in its unstable active position. The cup(s) can then perform the spring function.

[0134] According to a particular embodiment, such as for example illustrated in [Fig. 11] and 12, each of the first and second parts 119, 120 of the actuation assembly 102 comprises a blade 135 forming a spring and coming from a single piece with a body of the corresponding first or second part 119, 120 of the control assembly 102. Each blade 135 comprises a free end 135a bearing against the plate 105 (in particular against a projection 136 of the plate 105). The blades 135 allow the automatic return of the first and second bearing regions 108, 118 from their unstable active position to their stable inactive position when the bearing force concerned on the first or second bearing region 108, 118 ceases.Each of the first and second parts 119, 120 of the actuation assembly 102 may comprise one or more shoulders 137 each cooperating with a clip 138 belonging to the plate 105 in order to limit the pivoting amplitude of the first and second parts 119, 120 of the actuation assembly 102 while participating in the mounting of the actuation assembly 102 to the plate 105.

[0135] By "clipping", is meant in the present description an assembly using clip(s). A clip can be seen as a snap-fastening member of a first type intended to cooperate with a snap-fastening member of a second type. A clip can be of the two-jaw clamp type (see in particular the clamps 114a, 114b, 114c, 114d of [Fig.6]) or locally forming a portion of collar which locally fits the surface of a second snap-fastening member such as for example a cylindrical element; this is in particular the case for the clamps 114a, 114b; 114c, 114d and the cylindrical shafts 113a, 113b. A clip can also be a rigid hook having a projection at a free end to clip / snap into a second snap-in member that can form a hole; this is particularly the case for clips 131a, 131b and the second pair of holes 110c, HOd. The clips can also be clipping pins clipped into corresponding hollows ([Fig.11] and 12).

[0136] It follows from what has been described above that the invention may also relate to a method for managing a construction site in an environment 1000 such as for example illustrated in [Fig. 10]. The construction site may for example be a painting site in the environment 1000 corresponding to the interior of a building; there is then a need not to soil a control assembly 111 with paint while allowing the manual control device 100 to be actuated by the user during the construction site to control an actuator 1001, for example a mobile screen for concealing an opening 1002. The actuator may be located in the environment 1000 or outside the 1000 environment.

[0137] Thus, said method may comprise the following successive steps consisting of: a) carrying out a work phase in the environment 1000, at least one manual control device 100 (in particular of the type of [Fig. 1] or [Fig. 11]) whose second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d are unused being arranged in the environment 1000, the first support region 108 of the actuation assembly 102 being intended to be stressed so that the actuation assembly 102 cooperates with the first switch 107 of the electronic control module 101 during step a), preferably via a support force of the user directly carried out on the first support region 108; b) mounting the control assembly 111 to the second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d. The method comprises, during step a), at least one activation of the first switch 107 by the actuation assembly 102 generating, by the electronic control module 101, a control order for the actuator 1001, and a transmission of the generated control order to the actuator.

[0138] In fact, the control order can be generated by switching the first switch 107 to its active state. The transmission of the generated control order can be carried out using a transmitter present in the electronic control module 101 and adapted to transmit the control order so that it is received by a reception unit of the actuator 1001 mentioned above. A control unit of the actuator 1001 can then interpret the received control order and carry out the control order which can be as described above when the actuator 1001 comprises a movable screen.

[0139] Step b) is notably implemented at the end of the work, preferably when the risks of soiling the control assembly 111 are eliminated or limited.

[0140] Preferably, after step a) and before step b), the method comprises a step of removing the actuation assembly 102.

[0141] From then on, the actuation assembly 102 can be removed in order to be reused later.

[0142] Alternatively, step b) may consist of mounting the control assembly 111 over the actuation assembly 102 which is then retained, resulting in the first and second mounting means 109, 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d being used at the end of step b).

[0143] It follows from what has been described above that the invention also relates to a kit for assembling a manual control device 100, the kit comprising the electronic control module 101 (for example as illustrated in [Fig.3]) whose plate 105 comprises the first mounting means 109 and the second mounting means 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d independent of the first mounting means 109. The kit further comprises the actuating assembly 102 (for example as illustrated in [Fig.6]) intended to be mounted to the first mounting means 109.
