Description

Title of the invention: DRIVE DEVICE FOR A SCREEN WINDING DEVICE TECHNICAL FIELD AND PREVIOUS ART

[0001] The present invention relates to a drive device for a winding device for a roll-up screen of a blackout installation.

[0002] A shading system includes a motorized drive device that rotates a winding tube around which a screen is wound and unwound. The screen may be a shutter or a solar protection screen.

[0003] The drive device comprises an electromechanical actuator, generally cylindrical in shape, partially inserted into the winding tube. The electromechanical actuator includes a torque support and a housing containing an electric motor, one or more rechargeable power batteries, and a control circuit for the electromechanical actuator.

[0004] The torque support comprises a first part, called the head, and a body. The head includes an electronic board supporting a human-machine interface to allow the user, for example, to program the electromechanical actuator or to recharge batteries housed within the electromechanical actuator. The human-machine interface includes, for example, a connector for connecting a charging cable or a cable connected to an external programming tool for programming the electromechanical actuator, one or more buttons, or an indicator light.

[0005] Traditionally, the head of the electromechanical actuator is partly located outside the body of the electromechanical actuator, in particular partly located outside the winding tube to allow easy access to the human-machine interface by the user.

[0006] The actuator head can, in particular, be used to house an antenna associated with means for receiving electromagnetic waves. Indeed, this antenna can be wound inside the head or on the periphery of the head, so as to be exposed or only surrounded by material permeable to electromagnetic waves.

[0007] In [Fig. 1], we can see an example of a prior art blackout installation 4' mounted above an opening O. The screen 2' is partially unrolled.

[0008] The shading device is fixed by its longitudinal ends 4.1', 4.2' above the opening O to be shading by means of brackets 6.1', 6.2' fixed to the wall. Mounting is carried out, for example, by a mounting accessory connected to the bracket 6.2' at one end and by the torque support of the electromechanical actuator 8' at the other end. The winding tube is mounted freely for rotation on one side of the accessory. of mounting, forming a bearing and on the other hand on a ring mounted freely for rotation on the housing of the electromechanical actuator. A 17' wire-shaped antenna protrudes from the head of the torque support.

[0009] The electromechanical actuator 8' is generally, except for its head portion, completely housed within the winding tube, which is itself usually metallic. The dimensions of the head, particularly its thin profile to avoid excessive misalignment between the lateral edge of the screen and the corresponding edge of the opening, do not allow for free positioning of the antenna. In [Fig. 1], the antenna is indeed external to the head.

[0010] The positioning of the antenna is therefore a critical subject, because it determines the reception range of the receiving means and therefore the ability of the electromechanical actuator to receive control orders.

[0011] Thus, it is desirable to improve the positioning of the antenna. Description of the invention

[0012] It is therefore an object of the present application to provide a screen drive device, also referred to as an electromechanical actuator, which does not have the above disadvantages, and which offers more possibilities for positioning an antenna.

[0013] The stated objective is achieved by a drive device for rotating a screen winding assembly, said drive device comprising a torque support and a tubular housing in which an electric motor is housed. The drive device also includes a control circuit comprising an electromagnetic wave receiving module including an antenna. The torque support comprises a first longitudinal portion mounted in one end of the tubular housing and a second longitudinal portion projecting from the tubular housing as an extension thereof. This second portion has a diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the tubular housing and includes a zone permeable to electromagnetic waves, the antenna being housed in the second longitudinal portion at the level of the zone permeable to electromagnetic waves.In other words, the electromagnetic wave-permeable zone of the second longitudinal part is opposite an active portion of the antenna, through which the drive device can transmit and receive control commands.

[0014] Thus the antenna can be housed entirely in the drive device while being functional, and in a part intended to be housed in a winding assembly of a drive device.

[0015] The invention eliminates the need to construct a torque support with a head whose dimensions are sufficient to house the receiving module. Furthermore, the antenna It then occupies a specific position within the winding mechanism, which facilitates determining the reception range. Furthermore, the antenna is concealed, improving the overall aesthetic appearance. In addition, integrating the antenna into the body of the drive unit protects it from damage. Indeed, wire antennas protruding from the torque support head could be torn off.

[0016] In an advantageous example, the second longitudinal part is made of material permeable to electromagnetic waves, that is to say, entirely made of material permeable to electromagnetic waves.

[0017] Preferably, the drive device is mounted in a winding assembly of a winding device, the assembly comprising a tube and a ring, the second longitudinal part of the torque support being housed in the ring which also has a zone permeable to electromagnetic waves.

[0018] The invention offers the advantage of requiring little adaptation of the environment of the drive device, and of retaining the existing winding tubes and adapting them to an electromechanical actuator whose second longitudinal part of the torque support houses the antenna in the extension of the tubular housing.

[0019] The present invention then relates to a device for rotating a winding assembly around a longitudinal axis, said drive device comprising a torque support and a tubular housing in which an electric motor is housed, the drive device also comprising a control circuit including an electromagnetic wave receiving module comprising an antenna, the torque support having a first longitudinal part mounted in one end of the tubular housing and a second longitudinal part projecting from the tubular housing as an extension thereof, the second longitudinal part having a hollow tubular profile of an outside diameter equal to that of the housing and housing at least partially the antenna of the electromagnetic wave receiving module and at least the second longitudinal part having a zone permeable to electromagnetic waves.

[0020] Preferably, the second longitudinal part is made of a material permeable to electromagnetic waves.

[0021] The drive device advantageously includes means for rotationally locking the torque support relative to the tubular housing.

[0022] In one embodiment, the torque support includes a third longitudinal part extending from the second longitudinal part and whose outside diameter is greater than that of the tubular housing and the second longitudinal part.

[0023] In one embodiment, the antenna is printed on an electronic control circuit board housed at least partially in the second longitudinal part.

[0024] In another embodiment, the antenna is an electronic component implanted on an electronic board of the control circuit housed at least partially in the second longitudinal part.

[0025] According to another embodiment, the antenna is a cable connected to an electronic control circuit board housed at least partially in the second longitudinal part, the cable being arranged in the second longitudinal part.

[0026] The drive device advantageously includes a human-machine interface housed in the torque support and accessible through the second longitudinal part of the torque support.

[0027] The present invention also relates to a winding device for a roll-up screen of a blackout installation comprising a winding assembly with a longitudinal axis and a drive device for rotating the winding assembly about a longitudinal axis, said drive device being in accordance with any one of the preceding claims, said drive device being at least partially housed in the winding tube, the winding assembly comprising a winding tube and a crown, said crown comprising a first longitudinal part mounted in a longitudinal end of the winding tube and a second longitudinal part projecting from the winding tube as an extension thereof and having an outside diameter equal to that of the winding tube, the second longitudinal part of the crown being opposite the second longitudinal part of the torque support,and the second longitudinal part of the crown contains a zone permeable to electromagnetic waves.

[0028] Preferably, at least the second longitudinal part of the crown is made of a material permeable to electromagnetic waves.

[0029] The crown may include an access area for the human-machine interface.

[0030] The present invention also relates to a blackout installation comprising a winding device according to the invention and a screen fixed to the winding assembly by an upper edge, along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the actuation assembly, but offset on the circumference of the winding assembly substantially by an angle between 90° and 270° with respect to the angular position of the access zone of the crown.

[0032] Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of an example of the implementation of a blackout installation according to the invention.

[0033] A shading system SI comprises a winding device DI for a screen and a screen 4. The screen 4 is, for example, a shading screen, such as a roller shutter, or a solar shading device mounted in front of an opening O (in dotted line). A load bar 5 is mounted along the lower edge of the screen 4.

[0034] The winding device DI extends along a longitudinal axis X and comprises a winding assembly 6 with axis X around which the screen 4 is intended to wind and unwind between a fully wound upper position and a fully unwound lower position. The winding assembly is hollow. The screen 4 is fixed by an edge to the winding assembly 6.

[0035] The winding device DI also includes a drive device 7 rotating around the axis X of the winding assembly 6.

[0036] The drive device 7 is configured to be housed at least partially within the winding assembly 6 ([Fig. 4]). [Fig. 5] shows a cross-sectional view of the entire winding device along a plane orthogonal to the cross-sectional plane of Figures 3 and 4.

[0037] In [Fig.3], part of the drive device 7 can be seen. This includes a tubular housing 8 and, housed in the housing 8, an electromechanical actuator 7.1 comprising an electric motor 10, a reducer (not visible).

[0038] The electromechanical actuator further comprises a control circuit 14 for the electromechanical actuator 7.1. The electronic control circuit 14 is mounted on an electronic board 15, such as a printed circuit board. In the example shown, the actuator is powered by one or more power supplies 12 housed in the tubular casing 8. Alternatively, the actuator is powered by an external power source, for example, it is connected by a cable to the mains power supply.

[0039] The reducer 6 extends by means of an output shaft 7.2 extending along the X axis and engaging with the winding assembly 6, in particular by means of a coupling accessory (not shown), also called a drive wheel.

[0040] The drive device, in particular the electromechanical actuator 7.1, includes a torque support 34 intended to be fixed to a mounting bracket on the wall or ceiling or to a window frame to take up the torque of the electric motor 10. The torque support 34 closes one end of the housing of the electromechanical actuator 7.1.

[0041] The control circuit 14 includes a command receiving module equipped with an antenna 17, in particular for receiving radio commands emitted by a command transmitter, for example, a remote control. Alternatively or in addition, the command transmitter is a centralized control unit that controls, for example, all the blinds and shades in a dwelling according to predetermined scenarios. In one embodiment, the antenna is printed on the electronic board 15. In another embodiment, the antenna is an electronic component mounted on the electronic board 15 of the control circuit. In yet another embodiment, the antenna is a cable connected to the electronic board 15 of the control circuit.

[0042] According to the invention, the torque support 34 comprises a first longitudinal part 34.1 housed in an end 8.1 of the housing 8 and a second longitudinal part 34.2 extending from the housing and has an outside diameter substantially equal to that of the housing, thus forming a longitudinal extension of the housing.

[0043] At least the antenna of the receiving module is housed in the second longitudinal section. This second longitudinal section 34.2 offers permeability to electromagnetic waves, thus enabling the antenna to receive commands emitted by a transmitter. Preferably, at least the second longitudinal section is made of a material permeable to electromagnetic waves, for example, a plastic material such as unfilled polyamide 6-6 (PA66). Thus, the second section Longitudinal 34.2 is opposite at least one active portion of the antenna. The active portion of the antenna can receive electromagnetic waves, for example control commands, through a wall made of electromagnetic-permeable material of the second longitudinal part 34.2.

[0044] In the case where the antenna is printed on the electronic board 15 or is a component implanted in the electronic board 15, at least the part of the electronic board containing the antenna is disposed in the second longitudinal part 34.2. In the case where the antenna is a cable connected to the electronic board 15 of the control circuit, the electronic board is housed at least partially in the second longitudinal part 34.2 of the torque support, and the cable is disposed in the second longitudinal part 34.2.

[0045] Furthermore, according to certain embodiments, the torque support 34 comprises a third part 34.3, forming a head, with a larger diameter than that of the second part 34.2, and intended to be connected to a support fixed to the wall or ceiling. The head may have a thinner profile compared to the heads of prior art actuators, since it has only a mechanical function and does not contain any electronic elements such as the receiving module.

[0046] The torque support 34 thus has a sufficiently large axial length and a hollow profile to accommodate at least part of the control circuit 14, in particular part of the electronic board and the antenna of the receiving module. The torque support 34 is at least partially permeable to electromagnetic waves, allowing the antenna to receive the transmitted commands.

[0047] The winding assembly 6 comprises a winding tube 25 with axis X and a ring 28 mounted at a longitudinal end of the winding tube and extending it.

[0048] In this example, as can be seen in [Fig. 4], the ring 28 comprises a first longitudinal portion 28.1 mounted inside the winding tube 25 and a second longitudinal portion 28.2 outside the winding tube 25. The first longitudinal portion 28.1 has an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the winding tube 25. The second longitudinal portion 28.2 has an outer diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the winding tube, thus forming a tubular element with a substantially constant outer diameter along its entire length. The screen 2 can therefore be wound onto the second longitudinal portion 28.2 of the ring 28. The first longitudinal portion 28.1 and the second longitudinal portion 28.2 have an inner diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the housing 8. The ring 28 forms a bearing for the rotation of the winding assembly relative to the drive device.

[0049] The second longitudinal part 34.2 of the torque support 34 is housed in the ring 28. The ring 28 is preferably entirely made of material permeable to electromagnetic waves, allowing the passage of electromagnetic waves between the transmitter and the antenna.

[0050] Alternatively, only the second longitudinal portion 28.2 of the ring surrounding the second longitudinal portion 34.2 of the torque support is made of a material permeable to electromagnetic waves. The ring and the torque support are, for example, made of the same material.

[0051] The first longitudinal part 28.1 and the second longitudinal part 28.2 have preferably a sleeve shape connecting by a shoulder 30 against which an end face of the winding tube can rest.

[0052] Preferably, the winding device includes means for rotationally locking the ring 28 relative to the winding tube 25. For example, the outside diameter of the first longitudinal portion 28.1 is such that it ensures a friction-retained mounting of the ring 28 in the winding tube and rotationally immobilizes the ring 28 relative to the winding tube. Alternatively, rotational immobilization of the ring 28 relative to the winding tube 25 is achieved by combining shapes. For example, the inner cross-section of the winding tube 25 may be hexagonal, or have a rib or groove, and the first longitudinal portion 28.1 of the ring 28 may have a complementary external profile.

[0053] The translational immobilization of the crown 28 relative to the winding tube 25 is achieved by friction, clipping, or any other suitable means (screw, rivet, etc.). There are few axial forces applied to the winding assembly 6. In particular, the winding device 6 advantageously includes means for axially securing the crown 28 to the drive device 25. Furthermore, the winding tube 25 is axially and rotationally fixed to the output shaft of the electromechanical actuator 7.1. Consequently, the crown 28 and the winding tube 25 are axially fixed to each other to the electromechanical actuator 7.1 and thus axially fixed relative to each other.

[0054] Translational immobilization between the winding assembly and the drive device can be achieved in various ways. For example, elastic means carried by the crown clip onto the torque support. Such means will be described in more detail below. Alternatively, the third part 34.3 forms an axial stop for the winding assembly.

[0055] Internal zones 28.3, visible in [Fig. 4], forming a bearing between the ring 28 and the drive device, can be formed along the length of the ring 28, for example by making the internal diameter of the ring 28, along the length of the second longitudinal part 28.2 or only on several specific portions of the second longitudinal part 28.2.

[0056] The antenna 17 is kept inside the winding assembly, improving the aesthetic appearance of the installation and limiting the risk of damage to the antenna 17.

[0057] The screen is attached to the winding tube 25 and optionally to the ring 28 by any suitable means. In the simplest way, an upper edge of the screen is attached by gluing to the winding tube, for example using double-sided adhesive. Alternatively, a groove provided in the winding tube 25 accommodates a corresponding bead provided at the end of the screen.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the winding tube 25 is made of metal, for example, bent and welded sheet metal, enabling it to bear most of the loads, such as the weight of the fabric and the forces transmitted by the electric motor 10, and the ring 28 is made of plastic material, for example, unfilled polyamide 6-6 or other plastics with similar properties. Making the ring 28 out of plastic material makes it possible, on the one hand, to lighten the winding assembly and therefore the winding device and, on the other hand, to facilitate its manufacture, in particular the two longitudinal parts 28.1 and 28.1 and the internal bearing areas 28.3.

[0059] Figures 6A, 6B and 7 show further examples of embodiments in which the drive device includes a human-machine interface 16 allowing a user to interact with the drive device, this interface being accessible through the torque support and the ring gear.

[0060] The human-machine interface 16 is connected to the electronic board 15. In Figures 6A, 6B, and 7, the human-machine interface 16 is supported by the electronic board 15. Alternatively, several electronic boards are implemented, one comprising the control circuit and another the human-machine interface. The human-machine interface 16 is accessible through at least one window formed in a side wall of the electromechanical actuator 7.1, in particular a side wall of the torque support in the examples of Figures 6A, 6B, and 7.

[0061] The human-machine interface 16 comprises, but is not limited to, at least one charging connector 20 and / or at least one button, and / or a digital display and / or at least one indicator light such as a light-emitting diode. The button(s) may, for example, have a programming function.

[0062] In the examples shown, the human-machine interface 16 includes a charging connector 20, a button 22 and an indicator light 23. It includes a window 18.1 for accessing the connector 20, a window 18.2 for accessing the button 22 and a window 18.3 for viewing the indicator light 23.

[0063] In this example, window 18.1 is oblong and extends perpendicularly to the axis of the device, and windows 18.2 and 18.3 are circular. It will be understood that these shapes are in no way limiting. Furthermore, it will also be understood that one or two windows may be provided to access all the elements of the human-machine interface. Moreover, transparent or opaque covers may be provided to close the windows, for example, temporarily.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment in which the power supply batteries are rechargeable, the charging connector 20 has at least one function for connecting a cable C of a charging device for the power supply battery(ies). Optionally, the connector 20 can be connected by a cable to a programming tool.

[0065] The charging device can be the electrical network; in this case, cable C has at one end a connector that plugs into the connector of the human-machine interface 16 and at the other end a plug that plugs into a wall socket. Alternatively, the charging device is a fast-charging device such as a power bank.

[0066] In one embodiment, connector 20 has the additional function of connecting a programming device, for example a laptop or tablet.

[0067] The connector is a standard connector, advantageously of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) type, most advantageously of the USB-C® type, version 3.0 or higher. Alternatively, the connector is of the inductive type.

[0068] Particularly advantageously, magnetic fastening means between the connector of the human-machine interface and the connector of the charging device cable allow for easy connection, especially due to the high position of the blackout installation.

[0069] The winding assembly includes a side wall 24 provided with an access zone 26 for the human-machine interface 16. More particularly, the second longitudinal part 28.2 includes the access zone for the human-machine interface through the second longitudinal part 34.2 of the torque support.

[0070] In this example, the torque support and the card 8 are assembled by rivets 19.

[0071] Figures 6A and 6B show in particular an example of an area access area 26 is formed in the side wall of the second part 28.2 of the crown 28. In this example, the access area 26 has three openings 40.1, 40.2, and 40.3 to allow a user or installer to access the human-machine interface of the electromechanical actuator 7.1, particularly when the openings 40.1, 40.2, and 40.3 are opposite the windows 18.1, 18.2, and 18.3 respectively, and the fabric is unrolled. In one embodiment, one or more removable covers (not shown) can be provided to cover the window(s) and / or opening(s) when not in use.

[0072] Furthermore, the access area 26 may include a transparent element for viewing the screen and / or indicator lights, the transparent material advantageously forming a light guide over at least part of its surface. Alternatively, the shutter element is partly flexible to allow the buttons to be manipulated through it. Alternatively still, the shutter element is flexible and transparent.

[0073] In one embodiment, the crown is entirely made of transparent material.

[0074] The crown 28 comprises a main rigid portion. If the access area includes a flexible portion, the crown can be made of two materials, for example by co-injection. Alternatively, the flexible portion is attached to the rigid portion.

[0075] The winding tube is significantly longer than the crown and transmits most of the mechanical forces, particularly those applied by the electric motor and the screen. The motor is connected to the winding tube via the gearbox, output shaft, and drive wheel. Therefore, having the crown as an extension of the tube for the winding assembly has little or no effect on the mechanical strength of the winding device.

[0076] The winding assembly and therefore the access area are mobile in rotation relative to the drive device and therefore to the human-machine interface.

[0077] Furthermore, access to the human-machine interface is possible when the screen is fully or almost fully unrolled and exposes the access area 26 of the winding assembly.

[0078] The winding device is configured to ensure the alignment of the access zone 26 and the man-machine interface 16 in a position in which the access zone 26 is accessible.

[0079] In one embodiment, an installer adjusts the angular position of the electromechanical actuator 7.1 and the winding assembly 6 so that, in the fully or almost fully unwound position, the access area and the human-machine interface are aligned, i.e., angularly positioned opposite each other. This preferred position can be stored in the control circuit 14 as a reference position.
