Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de verrou automatique pour tablier de volet roulant dont l'axe d'enroulement est arrêté en rotation par le système de manoeuvre.The present invention relates to a device for automatic latch for shutter apron including the winding axis is stopped in rotation by the system maneuvering.

Elle vise plus précisément un verrou automatique qui assure à la fois le blocage du tablier lorsqu'il se trouve en position basse - lames emboítées les unes dans les autres - et l'impossibilité de le remonter par toute action extérieure (tentative d'effraction), lorsque la rotation du tablier n'est pas effectuée par le système de manoeuvre.It aims more precisely an automatic lock that ensures both the blocking of the apron when found in low position - nested blades some in others - and the impossibility of reassembling it by any external action (attempted break-in), when the rotation of the deck is not carried out by the system of maneuver.

Dans le cas de la manoeuvre à treuil possédant un système de débrayage en fin de course basse, l'axe d'enroulement du tablier demeure encore libre en rotation dans le sens de remontée du tablier, le système de mécanisme de débrayage et/ou la cinématique irréversible du treuil évitent simplement l'enroulement à l'envers du tablier.In the case of the hoist maneuver having a system of disengagement at the end of the low run, the winding axis the apron remains free in rotation in the direction of the apron lift, the mechanism mechanism of disengagement and / or the irreversible kinematics of the winch simply avoid rolling up the apron.

Dans le cas des systèmes de manoeuvre à treuil mûs par un moteur électrique équipé éventuellement d'un mécanisme de roue libre qui évite de ne pas développer d'effort dans le sens de la descente du tablier pour des raisons évidentes de sécurité, de même la cinématique du mécanisme d'entraínement bloque l'axe d'enroulement dans le sens de la remontée du tablier. In the case of winch maneuvering systems operated by a electric motor possibly equipped with a mechanism freewheel which avoids not to develop effort in the meaning of the descent of the apron for reasons obvious safety, likewise the kinematics of drive mechanism blocks the winding axis in the direction of the ascent of the apron.

Les dispositifs connus tels que notamment celui visé dans le brevet français numéro 2 720 100, réalise un verrouillage automatique du tablier dans les coulisses, mais ces systèmes fonctionnent tous avec des axes d'enroulement bloqués en rotation par la manoeuvre, lorsque les lames du tablier se trouvent en position basse.Known devices such as in particular that referred to in French Patent No. 2,720,100, provides a automatic locking of the apron behind the scenes, but these systems all work with axes winding locked in rotation by the maneuver, when the apron blades are in position low.

On connaít par la demande intercalaire de brevet européen numéro EP 0 833 035 A (=FR 2 754 010) un système de verrou comportant des maillons articulés les uns par rapport aux autres, à l'aide d'axes d'articulation rapportés, un ressort de torsion installé sur ces axes prenant appui entre deux pièces et les forçant à se mettre en position déployée.It is known from the European patent application number EP 0 833 035 A (= FR 2 754 010) a lock system comprising links articulated with each other, using axes reported hinge, a torsion spring installed on these axes taking support between two pieces and the forcing to put himself in the deployed position.

Un autre modèle est réalisé à partir d'un feuillard en acier à ressort, sur lequel est fixé au moyen de rivets des maillons qui viennent se bloquer les uns contre les autres en position déployée.Another model is made from a strip in spring steel, on which is fixed by means of rivets links that come to hang against each other others in the deployed position.

D'autres modèles existent encore comme celui décrit dans le DE 2 008 969 A.Other models still exist as described in DE 2,008,969 A.

Quel que soit le type de modèle, il comporte divers inconvénients : ils sont composés d'un nombre de pièces important et sont donc difficiles à assembler et coûteux à réaliser. De plus, ils ne sont pas modulables sur chantier, afin d'ajuster la longueur déployée de tablier, en fonction de la configuration exacte du volet roulant. Il est courant que lors du montage du caisson de volet roulant, l'utilisateur soit obligé d'enlever ou d'ajouter une lame du tablier afin d'ajuster sa hauteur en fonction de la distance réelle entre le linteau et la tablette de la fenêtre, ce qui implique que la distance entre la première lame du tablier et le tube d'enroulement doit être optimisée afin d'obtenir un fonctionnement correct du verrou.Whatever the type of model, it includes various disadvantages: they are composed of a number of parts important and so are difficult to assemble and expensive to achieve. Moreover, they can not be modulated on site, in order to adjust the deployed length of deck, depending on the exact configuration of the shutter. It is common that when mounting the shutter box the user is obliged to remove or add a deck blade to adjust its height accordingly of the actual distance between the lintel and the tablet of the window, which implies that the distance between the first apron blade and the winding tube should be optimized for proper operation lock.

La présente invention vise donc à pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif qui garantit un ajustement de la longueur du verrou en fonction des dimensions choisies pour les caissons de volet roulant et donc en fonction du diamètre d'enroulement du tube, et qui ne nécessite aucun outillage pour assembler les différentes pièces du verrou entre elles, ces pièces pouvant être aisément démontées pour un ajustement optimal de la longueur du tablier déployé.The present invention therefore aims to overcome these disadvantages in proposing a device which guarantees a adjustment of the length of the lock according to dimensions chosen for roller shutter boxes and therefore depending on the winding diameter of the tube, and which does not require any tools to assemble the different parts of the lock between them, these parts can be easily removed for adjustment optimal length of the deck deployed.

A cet effet, le verrou pour volet roulant, équipé d'un axe d'enroulement du tablier selon l'invention, se caractérise en ce qu'il comporte un ensemble d'au moins deux maillons articulés entre eux par un système de charnières qui est, d'une part indémontable dans la zone de fonctionnement normal, et d'autre part provoque un arc-boutement des maillons lorsque le tablier est complètement déployé, les maillons étant pourvus en outre de lames flexibles qui viennent en appui sous le maillon suivant afin de le maintenir en position déployée, chacune des extrémités libres des maillons étant respectivement connectée à l'axe d'enroulement du tablier et à la première lame du tablier.For this purpose, the shutter latch, equipped with a winding axis of the apron according to the invention, characterized in that it comprises a set of at least two links articulated together by a system of hinges which is, on the one hand indémontable in the zone of normal operation, and secondly causes a bracing of the links when the apron is fully deployed, the links being further provided flexible blades that support under the link next to keep it in the deployed position, each of the free ends of the links being respectively connected to the winding axis of the apron and to the first blade of the apron.

Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, le dispositif formant verrou 1 selon l'invention comporte principalement une série de maillons 2, 3, 4, reliant l'axe de rotation 5 du tablier du volet roulant à l'une des lames formant ce tablier.According to a preferred embodiment, the device forming a lock 1 according to the invention comprises mainly a series of links 2, 3, 4, connecting the axis of rotation 5 of the shutter apron at one blades forming this apron.

Ainsi, un premier maillon 2 dit d'accrochage est relié à l'axe du tablier 5. Ce maillon s'étend sous la forme d'une plaque de section droite curviligne, préférentiellement réalisée dans une matière plastique ou métallique, afin de s'adapter le plus fidèlement possible à la courbure de l'axe tubulaire 5.Thus, a first link 2 said hooking is connected to the axis of the apron 5. This link extends in the form a curvilinear section plate, preferentially made in a plastic material or metal, in order to adapt as faithfully as possible at the curvature of the tubular axis 5.

Le premier maillon 2 qui s'accroche au tube d'enroulement 5 présente une pluralité de fentes 6 disposées selon le sens longitudinal ou transversal dudit maillon 2, ces fentes permettent l'insertion d'un organe d'agrafage 7 qui assure la solidarisation dudit maillon 2 au tube d'enroulement 5.The first link 2 that clings to the winding tube 5 has a plurality of slots 6 arranged according to the longitudinal or transverse direction of said link 2, these slots allow the insertion of a stapling member 7 which secures said link 2 to the tube winding 5.

Comme on peut le voir sur les vues en perspective (cf. figure 4), côté face interne du maillon 2, ces fentes 6 ne sont que partiellement débouchantes, la partie centrale de celles-ci étant borgne. Les parties débouchantes permettent le passage de crochets 8, 9 provenant de l'organe d'agrafage 7, et qui coopèrent au niveau de fentes 10 réalisées selon l'axe longitudinal du tube d'enroulement 5. As can be seen in the perspective views (cf. FIG. 4), on the inner side of the link 2, these slots 6 only partially open, the part central of these being one-eyed. The parts openers allow the passage of hooks 8, 9 from the stapling member 7, and cooperating with the level of slots 10 made along the longitudinal axis of the winding tube 5.

La distance entre les deux crochets 8, 9 de l'organe d'agrafage 7 correspond au pas entre deux fentes 10 du tube d'enroulement 5.The distance between the two hooks 8, 9 of the organ stapling 7 corresponds to the pitch between two slots 10 of winding tube 5.

L'immobilisation en translation du maillon d'accrochage 2 par rapport au tube d'enroulement 5 est assurée bien entendu par l'organe d'agrafage 7, l'un des crochets 8, 9 de celui-ci servant de butée dans un sens, la butée en translation dans l'autre sens étant assurée par une patte flexible 11 (cf. figure 4) obtenue lors de la fabrication du maillon 2.Immobilization in translation of the fastening link 2 relative to the winding tube 5 is ensured well heard by the stapling member 7, one of the hooks 8, 9 of it serving as a stop in one direction, the stop in translation in the other direction being ensured by a leg flexible 11 (see Figure 4) obtained during manufacture link 2.

La patte flexible 11 s'engage à l'intérieur d'une fente 10, de manière à limiter le déplacement du maillon 2 en translation dans l'autre sens, par rapport au tube d'enroulement 5.The flexible lug 11 engages inside a slot 10, so as to limit the movement of the link 2 in translation in the other direction, compared to the tube winding 5.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le maillon d'accrochage 2 au tube d'enroulement 5 dispose d'orifices 12 permettant le passage de rivets ou de vis pour la fixation sur des tubes d'enroulement 5 ne disposant pas de fentes 10 uniformément réparties sur sa longueur.According to another embodiment, the link 2 to the winding tube 5 has orifices 12 allowing the passage of rivets or screws for the fixation on winding tubes 5 that do not have slots 10 uniformly distributed along its length.

Selon une autre caractéristique du maillon d'accrochage 2, celui-ci comporte sur ses deux faces latérales 13, 14, des pattes flexibles 15, 16, de profil curviligne et venues de fabrication avec la partie centrale du maillon. Celles-ci sont conçues de manière à réaliser une poutre ou lame ressort dont l'une des extrémités est fixe, l'autre extrémité étant libre et pouvant coopérer au niveau du dessous d'un autre maillon de manière à assurer une fonction ressort entre ces deux pièces.According to another characteristic of the attachment link 2, it has on its two lateral faces 13, 14, flexible tabs 15, 16 having a curvilinear profile and come from manufacturing with the central part of the link. These are designed to make a beam or leaf spring whose one end is fixed, the other end being free and able to cooperate with level of the underside of another link so as to ensure a function spring between these two parts.

Ces lames ressorts 15, 16 travaillent en flexion sous l'action d'un maillon intermédiaire 3 ou d'un maillon d'attelage 4 qui est connecté à l'une des faces latérales (par exemple celles de plus grandes dimensions) du maillon d'attelage 4 ou d'un maillon intermédiaire 2, la longueur de ces pattes flexibles 15, 16 est sensiblement supérieure à la largeur d'un maillon 2, 3 afin que l'extrémité libre de ces pattes dépasse de l'aplomb du maillon 2, 3 et puisse prendre contact avec le dessous du maillon suivant au niveau de son bord longitudinal.These leaf springs 15, 16 work in flexion under the action of an intermediate link 3 or a link 4 which is connected to one of the side faces (eg larger ones) of the coupling link 4 or an intermediate link 2, the length of these flexible legs 15, 16 is substantially greater than the width of a link 2, 3 so that the free end of these legs protrudes from the link 2, 3 and can make contact with the underside of next link at its longitudinal edge.

Le système d'accrochage entre deux maillons contigus 2, 3, 4 est le suivant : sur le maillon d'accrochage 2, on dispose sur le bord latéral 17 jouxtant la face latérale 18 d'un maillon intermédiaire 3 ou d'un maillon d'attelage 4 d'une pluralité de gonds 19 formant l'une des parties d'une charnière 20, chacun des gonds 19 étant pourvu d'une tige 21 permettant l'articulation d'une partie femelle en forme de crochet 22, venue de l'autre partie de la charnière disposée sur le maillon qui est attelé.The attachment system between two contiguous links 2, 3, 4 is the following: on the snap link 2, has on the side edge 17 adjoining the side face 18 of an intermediate link 3 or a link 4 of a plurality of hinges 19 forming one parts of a hinge 20, each of the hinges 19 being provided with a rod 21 allowing the articulation of a hook-shaped female part 22, coming from the other part of the hinge arranged on the link that is harnessed.

Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, le verrou 1 comporte au moins un maillon intermédiaire 3 obtenu par un procédé de fabrication similaire à celui employé pour la réalisation du maillon d'accrochage 2, celui-ci présente un profil curviligne et comporte sur ses bords latéraux 13, 14 des pattes flexibles 15, 16. Celles-ci sont conformées d'une manière similaire à celles réalisées sur le maillon d'accrochage 2 et jouent également un rôle identique.According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the lock 1 comprises at least one link intermediate 3 obtained by a manufacturing process similar to the one used to create the link 2, it has a curvilinear profile and has on its lateral edges 13, 14 of the legs 15, 16. These are shaped in a manner similar to those made on the snap link 2 and also play an identical role.

Le maillon intermédiaire 3 est pourvu d'un système de connexion, d'une part au maillon d'accrochage 2 et d'autre part au maillon d'attelage 4.Intermediate link 3 is provided with a system of connection, on the one hand to the snap link 2 and on the other hand to the coupling link 4.

Au niveau de l'articulation avec le maillon d'accrochage 2, si celui-ci est muni d'une pluralité de gonds 19, on prévoit de disposer sur le bord latéral 17 du maillon intermédiaire 3, un nombre équivalent de parties mâles formant crochets 22. Ces crochets 22 possèdent un profil tel qu'il autorise l'accrochage ou le décrochage de l'anse du crochet 22 autour des tiges 21 des gonds 19, que lorsque les deux maillons 2, 3 contigus sont repliés l'un contre l'autre.At the joint with the snap link 2, if it is provided with a plurality of hinges 19, one plans to have on the side edge 17 of the link intermediate 3, an equivalent number of male parts 22. These hooks 22 have a profile as it authorizes the hanging or stalling of the loop of the hook 22 around the rods 21 of the hinges 19, only when the two links 2, 3 contiguous are folded One against the other.

Afin de faciliter cette manoeuvre d'accrochage ou de décrochage, les chants 17, 18 des parties formant charnière présentent respectivement un bord arrondi 23 et un bord biseauté 24, le bord arrondi 23 glissant au contact du bord biseauté 24.In order to facilitate this maneuvering stall, songs 17, 18 forming parts hinges respectively have a rounded edge 23 and a beveled edge 24, the rounded edge 23 sliding at contact with beveled edge 24.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, le verrou 1 comporte un dernier maillon dit d'attelage 4 qui peut être relié, soit à un maillon intermédiaire 3, soit directement au maillon d'accrochage 2.According to yet another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the lock 1 comprises a last link said 4 which can be connected to either a link intermediate 3, either directly to the snap link 2.

Ce maillon 4 est réalisé selon une technique similaire à celle employée lors de la fabrication des maillons d'accrochage 2 et intermédiaires 3 et présente également un profil curviligne.This link 4 is made according to a technique similar to that used in the manufacture of links 2 and intermediate 3 and also presents a curvilinear profile.

Il se distingue cependant des précédents par le fait que les pattes flexibles 15, 16 positionnées sur chacun des bords latéraux sont limitées à de simples zones en saillie 25 qui reposent sur l'extrémité et au-dessus des pattes flexibles 15, 16 venues du maillon intermédiaire 3 ou du maillon d'accrochage 2.However, it differs from previous ones by the fact that the flexible tabs 15, 16 positioned on each of the side edges are limited to simple areas in protruding 25 which rest on the end and above the flexible legs 15, 16 from the intermediate link 3 or the hooking link 2.

Le maillon d'attelage 4 comporte des moyens de connexion à un autre maillon contigu, au niveau d'un de ses bords latéraux 17, ceux-ci étant par exemple des parties mâles en forme de crochets 22 qui ne peuvent se décrocher ou s'accrocher aux parties femelles correspondantes présentes sur l'autre maillon, qu'à la condition que les maillons 2, 3, 4 soient repliés l'un sur l'autre.The coupling link 4 comprises connection means to another contiguous link, at one of its edges 17, these being for example male parts in the form of hooks 22 that can not fall out or cling to the corresponding female parts present on the other link, provided that the links 2, 3, 4 are folded over one another.

Les moyens de connexion entre deux maillons sont définis de telle sorte que l'assemblage est indémontable dans sa zone de fonctionnement normal (c'est-à-dire entre la position complètement enroulée sur le tube et la position complètement déployée), sans le recours à des outils spécifiques permettant ainsi une adaptation très aisée en longueur du système.The connecting means between two links are defined so that the assembly is indémontable in its normal operating area (that is, between the fully wound position on the tube and the position fully deployed), without the use of tools specific conditions, thus enabling very easy adaptation length of the system.

Le troisième maillon 4 est relié à la première lame du tablier qui chemine au travers de la tulipe solidaire de la coulisse du châssis du volet roulant.The third link 4 is connected to the first blade of the apron that travels through the tulip of solidarity the slide of the shutter frame.

En fonction des dimensions du caisson ou du diamètre d'enroulement du tube 5 devant recevoir le tablier du volet roulant, le dispositif de verrou selon l'invention sera modifié, par le retrait ou par l'ajout d'au moins un maillon intermédiaire, afin d'allonger ou de raccourcir le système.Depending on the dimensions of the box or the diameter winding of the tube 5 to receive the apron of the rolling shutter, the lock device according to the invention will be modified by the withdrawal or addition of at least one intermediate link, to lengthen or shorten the system.

On réalise une liaison rigide entre le tube 5 et la première lame du tablier grâce à l'ensemble des maillons 2, 3, 4 qui viennent en butée positive l'un contre l'autre, afin de former un ensemble rigide en position déroulée du tube.A rigid connection is made between the tube 5 and the first apron blade thanks to the set of links 2, 3, 4 which come into positive abutment one against the other, to form a rigid assembly in position unrolled from the tube.

Le mouvement de l'ensemble des maillons se décompose de la manière suivante : le premier maillon 2 demeure solidaire du tube d'enroulement 5 grâce à l'organe d'agrafage 7, le maillon intermédiaire 3 ou le maillon d'attelage 4 s'articule autour de son axe 21, jusqu'au moment où il vient en butée contre le maillon d'accrochage 2.The movement of all the links breaks down the following way: the first link 2 remains secured to the winding tube 5 thanks to the staple 7, the intermediate link 3 or the link coupling 4 is articulated around its axis 21, until moment when it comes into abutment against the link hanging 2.

Le maillon intermédiaire 3, qui peut être éventuellement ôté en fonction de la configuration choisie, est connecté au maillon d'attelage 4 qui est relié à la première lame du tablier. A cette fin, on utilise l'extrémité du maillon d'attelage 4 qui est pourvue d'une partie en gorge 26 formant glissière pour une partie correspondante de la première lame du tablier. Intermediate link 3, which may eventually be removed according to the chosen configuration, is connected to the coupling link 4 which is connected to the first blade apron. For this purpose, the end of the coupling link 4 which is provided with a portion groove 26 forming a slide for a corresponding part of the first blade of the apron.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le verrou 1 formé d'une juxtaposition d'un maillon d'accrochage 2 et d'attelage 4 et éventuellement d'au moins un maillon intermédiaire 3, s'arc-boute lorsque le tablier du volet roulant est complètement descendu dans les coulisses et que la dernière lame repose sur la tablette de la fenêtre. Dans cette position, les lames se repoussent mutuellement jusqu'à produire un effet de levier sur le maillon d'attelage 4, qui répercute l'effort sur les maillons qui lui sont attelés. Etant donné que l'axe d'enroulement du tablier 5 n'est pas libre en rotation, il s'ensuit un phénomène de flexion.According to another characteristic of the invention, the latch 1 formed of a juxtaposition of a snap link 2 and hitch 4 and possibly at least one link Intermediate 3, is arched when the shutter apron rolling is completely down the scenes and that the last blade rests on the tablet of the window. In this position, the blades repel each other mutually to produce a leverage effect on the link 4, which reflects the effort on the links that are hitched to him. Since the axis winding of the apron 5 is not free in rotation, it follows a phenomenon of flexion.

Afin de limiter en amplitude le mouvement d'arc-boutement des maillons 2, 3, 4 l'un par rapport à l'autre, on prévoit de disposer des faces biseautées 27, 28 formant butées, sur le chant du bord latéral principal, de chaque côté de chacun des maillons (on se reportera à la figure 5) et au niveau des zones qui vont être en contact.In order to limit in amplitude the bracing movement links 2, 3, 4 with respect to each other, provides for bevelled faces 27, 28 forming stops on the edge of the main lateral edge of each side of each link (refer to figure 5) and at the level of the areas that will be in contact.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le maillon d'accrochage 2 et le maillon intermédiaire seront réalisés à partir d'un même moule et seront donc identiques.According to another embodiment, the link 2 and the intermediate link will be made from the same mold and will therefore be identical.

L'invention telle que décrite ci-dessus offre de multiples avantages : elle concilie tous les paramètres de fonctionnement (la hauteur optimale du tablier, l'arcboutement du verrou, un déploiement stable de la succession de maillons de part l'utilisation des lames flexibles formant ressort), cette manoeuvre pouvant être définie en atelier et affinée sur le chantier, par l'ajout à l'une des extrémités des deux maillons principaux formant verrou, de maillons supplémentaires, afin de s'adapter au gabarit du caisson du volet roulant, quel que soit le type d'organe de manoeuvre (à treuil ou à moteur électrique), le réglage finaal sur le chantier s'effectue automatiquement grâce aux lumières ménagées dans l'un des maillons du verrou ce qui permet l'ajustage final en longueur du mécanisme en fonction de la taille, sans avoir à déposer le volet .The invention as described above offers multiple advantages: it reconciles all the parameters of operation (the optimal height of the apron, the arcboutement lock, a stable deployment of the succession of links from the use of blades flexible hoses), this maneuver can be defined in the workshop and refined on site, by the addition to one end of the two links main forming latch, additional links, to adapt to the template of the shutter box, regardless of the type of actuator (winch or with electric motor), the finaal adjustment on the construction site automatically done thanks to the lights in one of the links of the lock which allows the adjustment final length of the mechanism depending on the size, without having to deposit the shutter.

Il demeure bien entendu que la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation décrits et représentés ci-dessus, mais qu'elle en englobe toutes les variantes, dans la mesure ou elles sont couvertes par la teneur des revendications.It remains understood that the present invention is not not limited to the exemplary embodiments described and above, but includes all variants, insofar as they are covered by the terms of the claims.
