Definitions
- the invention relates to a solar protection installation comprising a blind with adjustable blades controlled by an electromechanical actuator, the blind being placed outside a glazed surface and subjected to wind.
- the invention also relates to a method of operating such a blind.
- the laces and cords are also attached to a load bar, weighted, and taking the final blade position or the lowest blade of the blind.
- the blades are guided along slides or lateral cables.
- the blind is usually associated with a sensor to measure the effects of wind on the blind.
- the measurement of the sensor is then used to control a folding of the blind.
- the outdoor Venetian blind must be secured by an automatic control in case of strong wind, so as to protect the blind and the supporting structure against tearing under the effect of a strong wind. If there is wind, it is expected that the actuator drives the blind to a folded position in which the blades are less subject or are no longer subject to the effects of wind.
- a sensor used in such an installation may be an anemometer, placed near the blind or at a facade.
- the distance from the anemometer also increases the lack of precision compared the real effects of the wind on the awning blades.
- vibration detectors or anemometers for example accelerometers, piezoelectric cells, placed at the rail or possibly the load bar of the blind. These detectors allow a finer measurement of the effects of wind on the blades, but could be improved.
- Patent EP 1 077 378 A2 describes a blade or canvas awning installation, comprising a wind sensor installed near the installation or on a preferential area of the installation.
- the preferred areas are the load bar of a blind or awning, or the hinge of an arm, these areas being areas subject to strong wind influences.
- - in static when the blind is fully deployed, horizontal blades; in the intermediate position (blind completely deployed, blades oriented for example at 45 °); in partial unfolded position; - in dynamics: while the blind makes a movement of withdrawal or deployment; while the blades are being oriented (from 90 ° to 0 ° and vice versa).
- the object of the invention is to provide a blind overcomes the above disadvantages and improving the known blinds of the prior art.
- the invention makes it possible to make more precise the determination of the effects of the wind on the blind.
- the blind according to the invention is defined by claim 1.
- the blind operating method according to the invention is defined by claim 10.
- Figure 1 shows an installation according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows a part of the installation according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 represents a graph of time signals obtained thanks to a sensor fixed on a final blade (load bar) of a blind, with and without wind.
- FIG. 4 represents a graph of time signals obtained thanks to a sensor fixed on an upper blade of a blind, with and without wind.
- FIG. 5 represents a graph of time signals obtained by means of sensors fixed on a final blade and on an upper blade of a blind, in the presence of wind.
- the invention proposes a positioning of the optimized wind sensor.
- the objective is to allow a fine detection of the effects of the wind on the blades of a blind, which is successful in the majority of the possible configurations of deployment and orientation of the blind. It is mainly intended for blinds placed outside buildings in front of glazed surfaces and therefore subject to the effects of wind. These blinds are generally deployed vertically from top to bottom, the top of the blind corresponding substantially to the top of the glass surface and the bottom of the blind at the bottom of the glass surface.
- the invention is characterized in that the sensor is placed on one of the first blind blades closest to the rail.
- the blades When the blind is in the folded position, the blades rest and are stacked on the load bar, the orientation cords (also called ladders) between them being relaxed and folded between the blades or outside thereof , the drive laces being wound on themselves in a rocker placed at the rail, the rocker forming part of the drive mechanism.
- the orientation cords also called ladders
- the highest blades move away from each other while the lowest blades are still stacked tight on the load bar.
- Ladders especially the upper part
- the highest blades are relatively free to move in windy conditions, including for a partial deployment of the blind.
- the lowest blades are stacked and the body including the stacked blades and the load bar is only slightly influenced by the wind. This freedom of movement of the upper blades increases the sensitivity to the effects of the wind and therefore the measurement sensitivity of the sensor placed at one of these blades.
- all the ladders are subjected to the same tension.
- the kinematics is substantially the same.
- the bottom blades stack one after the other on the load bar while the ladders are subjected to a decreasing tension.
- the blinds guided by a cable are more sensitive to the wind than the blinds guided along the slides.
- the difference in horizontal reaction between the bottom and top of the awning vis-à-vis the wind is insignificant.
- the vertical reaction of the lower blades (lower blades) and the load bar is also limited by the weight of the load bar, even though the wind may become able to lift the load bar and the lower blades.
- a sensor If a sensor is placed at one of the first blades of the awning, it will be able to detect the influence of the wind both in the situations of slightly deployed awning as in the situations of deployed awning, in static or in dynamic.
- a sensor on a first venetian blind blade is all the more advantageous that it can also be used for purposes other than wind detection.
- the use of an accelerometer makes it possible to detect the oriented position of the blades.
- certain types of blinds have the distinction of being able to deploy while the blades are open.
- a sensor positioned on an upper blade can detect and control the orientation of the blades as soon as the awning begins to unfold.
- this positioning close to the rail and the actuator simplifies the connection between the sensor and a control unit of the actuator.
- FIG. 1 represents a Venetian blind installation 1 comprising a blind 2 provided with orientable parallel blades 3 supported by cords 4 and 4 'suspended from a driving mechanism 6.
- An electromechanical actuator 5 is able to act on the mechanism of FIG. drive to move and orient the blades about their longitudinal axis, using the training cords 4 and cords of orientations, or scales 4 '.
- the drive mechanism includes a drum 6a on which is wound one of the training cords and around which rotates one of the orientation cords.
- the cords are also attached to a load bar 7, weighted. When the awning is partially deployed or folded, a portion of the blades rests on this load bar, as shown in Figure 1. The portion of the orientation cords without load is shown folded between the blades or outside the blades.
- the actuator and the drive mechanism are placed in a rail 8.
- the displacement of the blades and / or the load bar are guided in slides 9.
- the blades and the load bar can be guided by cables stretched on both sides of the blades.
- a sensor 10 is placed on the first blade of the blind, the closest to the rail. This sensor is intended to determine or measure motion characteristics of the blade on which it is mounted, such as its position and / or speed and / or acceleration, and / or vibrations thereof.
- a not shown connection cable connects the sensor to the actuator, and in particular to a control unit of the actuator.
- the sensor may comprise a first portion 10 on a blade and a second portion positioned elsewhere, for example in the control unit.
- the two parts can be connected by power supply and / or information exchange conductors. Alternatively, they can be connected by a non-wired link, for example radio.
- the senor or the first sensor portion is mounted on the upper blade of the blind, i.e., the one that is highest or closest to the drive mechanism.
- the sensor or the first sensor portion is mounted on one of the 3 or 5 upper blades of the blind, that is to say the 3 or 5 blades being the highest or closest to the mechanism of training.
- the actuator 5 comprises a control unit 20 for controlling a motor assembly 21, for example a geared motor, which may also comprise a brake (not shown).
- the motor assembly drives its output shaft (or shafts) 22 through the drive mechanism 6 intended to deploy, fold the blind 2 and orient its blades in a known manner.
- the blind itself is represented as a dashed block.
- the sensor 10, placed on one of the first blades of the blind (one of the upper blades of the blind) is connected to the control unit by a first cable 25.
- This first cable allows the sensor supply and transfer information from the sensor to the control unit, necessary for the invention.
- This first cable can pass along one of the orientation cords and through the rail to arrive at the control unit.
- This first cable may be replaced by a non-wired link 25 ', represented in dotted lines: in effect, the sensor 10 may be a sensor transmitting wireless information, for example a radio transmitter-sensor, or even operate as a passive device .
- a sensor composed on the one hand of a magnet, RFID chip or mirror placed on the or one of the first blades, and on the other hand a corresponding element (for example Hall effect sensor, Reed bulb, antenna RFID, optical transceiver) placed at the rail advantageously fulfills the conditions of the invention.
- the control unit is itself connected to a power source by a second cable 26.
- FIG. 3 is a graph representing, in the form of curves, the vibrations detected by a sensor placed on the load bar of a venetian blind.
- the curves represent the vibrations along the X and Z axes shown in FIG. 1 and respectively show the lateral and vertical components of the displacement of the load bar.
- the upper curves show the vibrations of a deployed blind, open blades, subjected to a wind of 14 m / s, the curves of the bottom, the vibrations of the blind in the absence of wind.
- This diagram is a control diagram that compares the orders of magnitude of the vibrations measured by the sensor on the load bar in the presence and in the absence of wind for the X and Z axes for a first type of roller blind, the blind being fully deployed and the blades closed. It is thus noted that there are differences, but not very significant, between the results with or without wind for the same axis.
- the exploitation of the measurements is possible but requires an important measuring precision and a fine exploitation of the results. he then there is a significant risk of detecting false information due for example to vibrations of the structure on which is fixed the Venetian, especially in case of strong wind.
- FIG. 4 shows the vibrations measured by the sensor placed on the upper blade in the presence and in the absence of wind for the X and Z axes for the same type of roller blind, the blind being partially deployed and the blades being oriented open.
- FIG. 5 is a graph representing, in the form of curves, the vibrations detected by a sensor placed, according to the invention, on the first blade of the blind, ie the closest to the rail and for comparison those detected by a sensor placed on the load bar. Similar results could be obtained for a sensor placed on the second or third blade.
- the curves represent the vibrations along the X and Z axes shown in FIG. 1 and respectively show the lateral and vertical components of the displacement of the first blade.
- the curves 1 and 2 represent the vibrations of a deployed blind, blades open, subjected to a wind of 14 m / s, for a sensor on the first blade of the blind:
- Curves 3 and 4 represent the vibrations of a deployed blind, blades open, subjected to a wind of 14 m / s, for a sensor on the blind load bar: 3 - according to the horizontal X component, 4 - according to the vertical Z component.
- the horizontal X-component vibration is larger in average value for the sensor on the load bar than for the sensor on the upper blade, while the vibration measured in the vertical Z component is larger for the sensor placed on the sensor. the upper blade.
- the transmission power need not be important, given the proximity to the control unit (the receiver).
- the range may be limited to less than 30 cm.
- the sensor can have a reduced consumption and can guarantee its autonomy over a longer period than a wireless sensor placed on a load bar.
- the blind blade is the highest, that is to say the closest to the drive mechanism.
- the invention also relates to a method of operating a blind.
- the method comprises:
- This step is provided by the drive mechanism driven by the geared motor 21, itself controlled by the control unit.
- a step of determining a wind characteristic from information provided by the sensor at least when the blind is in the partial deployment position is for example provided by the control unit which comprises means for processing the signals received from the sensor and containing the information.
- the control unit preferably comprises hardware and / or software to govern the operation of the blind according to the method of the invention.
- These hardware and / or software means include for example computer programs.
- a blade When a blade is said to be isolated from the others, it is meant in this document that it is no longer part of the stack of blades on the load bar. It may remain partially in contact with one or both adjacent blades.
