Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a radio control device of a drive motor of a mobile screen used in a home automation system, such as a shutter or blind.
  • the invention also relates to an electric actuator, for the operation of a closure screen, sun protection or projection, comprising such a device and a home automation system comprising such a device.
  • FR-A-2,825,498 discloses a radio frequency controlled device comprising an electromagnetically coupled antenna, with galvanic isolation, to at least one conductor.
  • the driver's insulation is used and the antenna is positioned closer to the driver. It is proposed to pass the conductors and the antenna strand in the same insulating sheath, possibly heat shrinkable. This operation is not simple to produce industrially.
  • the conductors and the antenna which may be rigid, are connected to the radiofrequency printed circuit and must pass in the same sheath. If a simple sheath is used, the coupling is not optimum and gives a little flexibility to the assembly which nevertheless requires the insertion operation in the sheath.
  • the coupling is improved but requires an additional operation of heating the sheath and positioning the conductors and the antenna to easily connect them to the printed circuit.
  • the coupling is operated directly on the printed circuit.
  • a conductor comprises a portion made by a printed circuit track extending parallel to another track forming the antenna. The galvanic isolation is then obtained by the distance between the two tracks. This solution occupies a not insignificant location on the circuit printed, which limits the possibilities of adding electronic functionalities for the same size of circuit board.
  • the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a new radio control device which makes it possible to ensure good electromagnetic coupling, with galvanic isolation, between an antenna and at least one conductor.
  • a printed circuit is in the form of a plate, thin, on which are implanted electronic components.
  • a "face" of the printed circuit in the sense of the present invention, designates the upper face, face where the components are arranged, or the lower face of the plate and not its four edges which have for width the thickness of the plate.
  • the antenna is positioned between the lower face of the circuit and the conductor to which it is coupled.
  • the arrangement of the antenna inside the housing allows a good electromagnetic coupling with the associated conductor, the antenna can be aligned with this conductor, while a galvanic isolation is provided between these two elements.
  • the antenna and the conductor By separating the antenna and the conductor from the circuit board, it is not occupied with a location on the circuit board for the radio transmission function.
  • the printed circuit can therefore be optimized as to its dimensions.
  • a monopole antenna is particularly suitable for this type of device because it limits the size of the device.
  • the antenna and / or the conductor may be materialized by tracks at their coupling zone.
  • track is meant a metal strip of a length at least equal to the distance over which the antenna and the conductor are coupled, that is to say, preferably, close to a quarter of the wavelength corresponding to the frequency desired radio.
  • the width of this metal blade is at least five times greater than its thickness. In the case where the antenna and the conductor are formed by tracks at their coupling zone, it is preferable that the width of these tracks is substantially the same, in order to ensure good electromagnetic coupling.
  • the improvement of the coupling can also be obtained by means of bringing together to press the antenna towards the conductor so as to optimize the distance between these two parts, the minimum distance being the thickness of an insulating layer.
  • these means of bringing together comprise at least one resilient member bearing against one face of the printed circuit and capable of exerting on a support, which carries the antenna, a force directed towards the conductor coupled to this antenna, which makes it possible to make the effort of ruzement closer to the antenna.
  • the positioning means may be an independent antenna support in which the antenna is housed. This subset being independent, it is then simple to change the antenna length of the device and to adapt to the desired radio frequency. For example, for a frequency of 433 MHz, an antenna length corresponding to a quarter of the wavelength, namely, 17 cm, will be used. For a frequency of 868 MHz, the antenna will measure 8 cm.
  • a specific antenna support can be adapted to each antenna length or allow the housing of antennas of different lengths.
  • the antenna support may be positioned relative to the housing supporting the printed circuit and the conductor or relative to a housing in two parts.
  • the first part is housed the printed circuit, while the second part supports the coupled conductor.
  • the antenna support is guided either with respect to the first part, thus positioned relative to the printed circuit, or with respect to the second part, and, in this case, positioned relative to the coupled conductor.
  • the antenna support can be connected, in particular, to the printed circuit before assembly in the device.
  • the positioning of the antenna and the driver is direct, the coupling can only be better.
  • the antenna support can be movable in the housing in a direction parallel to the length of the antenna.
  • One end of the antenna comprises a pin for passing through the printed circuit at a hole provided for this purpose.
  • the pin which allows to electrically connect the antenna to the printed circuit, is then soldered to the printed circuit. It is therefore necessary that the pin is well positioned relative to the hole of the printed circuit at the time of assembly so as not to damage it. This alignment is ensured by the housing which positions the circuit board and the antenna support.
  • the degree of freedom of the antenna support described above makes it possible to absorb the dimensional tolerances of the parts which tend to misalign the axis of the pin with respect to the axis of the hole.
  • the width of the support, taken perpendicular to the length of the antenna is slightly less than the distance between two edges of a location in the housing for receiving this support.
  • the mobility of the antenna support in the direction parallel to the length of the antenna also provides flexibility on the location of the components on the printed circuit.
  • the passage hole of the picot can thus be moved on the printed circuit, without having to redesign the device. If the hole is moved in a direction parallel to the length of the antenna, it is only necessary to move the antenna support during assembly. If it is moved in a different direction, the location of the antenna pin should be changed from the antenna support, which may be more complex.
  • the invention also relates to an electric actuator for maneuvering a closure, sun protection or projection screen, this actuator comprising a drive motor of a screen displacement member, as well as a control device. radio control as mentioned above.
  • Such an actuator is more reliable and more efficient than those of the state of the art as regards the transmission of radio signals to or from the printed circuit.
  • the invention relates to a home automation system, for example a closure or sun protection system or a video screen operation installation, which comprises at least one electric motor and a control device as mentioned above.
  • the figure 1 represents a tubular actuator 100 for driving a winding tube 1 on which can be more or less wound an apron 2 for closing an opening O.
  • the tube 1 is driven by the actuator 100 rotating about an axis of revolution XX which is disposed horizontally in the upper part of the opening.
  • the opening O is, for example, an opening in the walls of a building.
  • the actuator 100, the tube 1 and the apron 2 then form a motorized roller shutter.
  • the actuator 100 comprises a cylindrical tube 101 in which is mounted a geared motor 102 comprising a motor, a brake and a gear and equipped with an output shaft 103 which projects at one end 101A of the tube 101 and drives a wheel-crown 3 integral in rotation of the tube 1.
  • the winding tube 1 rotates about the X-X axis and the fixed tube 101 through two pivot links.
  • a crown-bearing 4 mounted on the outer periphery of the tube 101 provides the first pivot connection.
  • the second pivot connection is at the other end of the tube 1 and is not shown.
  • the actuator 100 also comprises a fastener 104 projecting from the end of the tube opposite to the output shaft and making it possible to fix the actuator 100 on a frame 5.
  • This fastener 104 is, in addition, intended to close the tube 101 and to support a radio control device 200, housed inside the tube 101.
  • a mains power cable 105 comprising three conductors, passes through the fastener 104 and connects to the device 200 by the connection of a connector 106, mounted at the end of the cable 105, on a connector 132, integral with a housing 150 belonging to the device 200.
  • a second connector 162 At the other end of the housing 150 is a second connector 162 on which is connected another end connector 107 of a power supply cable 108 of the geared motor 102.
  • the housing 150 constitutes an envelope that protects mechanically and electrically the parts it contains. This casing is put in place in the tube 101 during the assembly of the actuator 100. If the actuator is not of the tubular type, the casing 150 can be installed in another part of the installation, while also protecting the parts it contains.
  • the radio control device 200 is able to receive a signal S 1 carried by radio waves.
  • This signal S 1 represented by a wavy arrow at figure 1 , comes from a portable transmitter 50 equipped with an antenna 51. It conveys operating commands of the geared motor 102. These orders are then interpreted by the device 200 to supply or not the geared motor 102 by means of the cable 108, with a polarity depending on the desired direction of rotation for the tube 1.
  • the device 200 can also transmit, to the transmitter 50 or a control unit and always by radio waves, a signal S 2 containing information relating to the operation of the geared motor 102.
  • the device 200 comprises a monopole antenna 110 connected to a printed circuit 140 and electromagnetically coupled to one of the three 130A, 130B and 130C supply conductors that extend into the housing 150 between the connectors 132 and 162.
  • the antenna 110 is coupled to the conductor 130B, with galvanic isolation.
  • the antenna 110 and the conductor 130B work together, electromagnetically, as an antenna, while they are electrically isolated from each other.
  • the radio signals transmitted or received by the antenna 110 are transmitted partly by direct air and partly by coupling with the conductor 130B.
  • the signal S 1 is processed by the electronic circuit board 140.
  • the geared motor 102 is then powered according to the desired order.
  • the antenna 110 integral with the antenna support 120, can be installed in the housing 150 while being close to the conductor 130B to ensure good electromagnetic coupling between these elements.
  • the pins 111, 131A, 131B, 131C, 161A, 161B and 161C connect correctly to the printed circuit 140 using the same reference frame that is the housing 150.
  • the geared motor 102 rotates the shaft 103 which in turn rotates the tube 1 via the wheel-crown 3.
  • the rotation of the shaft 103 causes the opening and, alternately, the closing of the opening O.
  • the figures 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 show in more detail the structure of the control device 200.
  • the three conductors of the power cable namely two phases and a neutral, connect to tracks forming the conductors 130A, 130B and 130C and are housed in the housing 150.
  • These tracks are metal blades whose width is at less than five times larger than their thickness. The length of these tracks is dimensioned so that they correspond to at least a quarter of the wavelength of the desired frequency.
  • These tracks 130A, 130B and 130C are connected, via the pins 131A, 131B and 131C, to the printed circuit 140. The printed circuit 140 is thus powered by the mains.

  • the track 130B can be connected to the card 160B via the printed circuit 140 and the pins 131B and 161B. If another order is transmitted, this track 130B may for example be connected to the pin 160A via the pin 131A.
  • the track 130A may be connected to the pin 160A by disconnecting the track 130B.
  • an intermediate sheet of insulation material 170 for example, a sheet of "Mylar” (registered trademark), is arranged between these tracks. and this antenna.

  • the antenna 110 is formed by a track whose section is substantially equivalent to that of the track 130B with which it is coupled. Its length corresponds to a quarter of the wavelength of the frequency used for the radio communication by the device 200. Almost all of this length extends along the antenna support 120.
  • the antenna 110 is received in a housing 124 extending on a central bar 127 connecting the two crosses and on two branches 125 and 126 extending the center bar.
  • the antenna 110 is slightly recessed with respect to the lower face 120A of the antenna support 120. At one end, the antenna 110 passes through the antenna support 120 and ends with the pin 111. At the other end , the antenna 110 is folded to be inserted into a housing 120B of the antenna support 120 for the purpose of keeping the antenna 110 taut and recessed in the antenna support 120.
  • the antenna support 120 is supported, in a direction D 1 , on the insulating spacer 170 and guided in the casing 150. It can move in a substantially parallel direction D 2 to the length of the antenna. In a direction D 3 perpendicular to the two preceding, the antenna support 120 is intended to bear on two faces 152 and 153 of the housing 150. Indeed, the width L 120 of the antenna support 120 is limited, one side by the end faces 122 of two of its transverse branches, and, on the other side, by the end faces 123 of the other transverse branches. These faces 122 and 123 correspond to opposite ends of the double cross.

  • the printed circuit 140 After placing the support 120 in the location 154, the printed circuit 140 covers the conductive tracks 130A, 130B and 130C and the antenna support 120. It is positioned in the housing by means of centering means, for example , a centering pin 151. Once the printed circuit disposed in the housing 150, the pins of the conductive tracks 131A, 131B, 131C, 161A, 161B, 161C and the pin of the antenna 111 are soldered to the card 143 of this circuit, as illustrated in figure 5 by the welding 145 of the pin 111 passing through a hole 144 of the card 143. The mobility of the antenna support 120 in the direction D 2 makes it possible to adjust the position of the pin 111 to align it with the axis of the hole 144, to facilitate assembly and welding.
  • centering means for example , a centering pin 151.
  • a solution that optimizes this distance consists in providing the antenna support 120 with elastic support means 121 on the printed circuit board 140. Three elastic tabs 121 are distributed along the antenna support 120, above the antenna 110. on the upper face 120C of the antenna support 120. These tabs 121 press on the lower face 146 of the card 143 of the printed circuit 140 and generate a force F tending to push the antenna support 120 against the insulating spacer layer 170 and therefore to track 130B. Since the antenna 110 is slightly set back from the lower face 120A of the antenna support 120, it then approaches the track 130B. The coupling is thus improved.
