Description

La présente invention a trait à un appareil et un procédé de commande à distance de dispositifs d'obturation de baies comme des fenêtres ou portes, les dispositifs concernés étant typiquement des volets, ouvrants ou battants, des contrevents, des systèmes mobiles pour la protection solaire d'ouvertures comme des stores vénitiens etc... lorsqu'ils sont motorisés. Le domaine technique auquel se rapporte l'invention concerne donc à titre premier l'équipement domestique ou tertiaire de l'habitat, et elle est plus particulièrement appliquée à la commande automatisée des moyens d'entraînement des dispositifs d'obturation qui équipent les fenêtres et portes.The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for remote control of bay shutter devices such as windows or doors, the devices concerned are typically flaps, sashes or shutters, shutters, mobile systems for sunscreen openings such as venetian blinds etc ... when they are motorized. The technical field to which the invention relates is thus primarily concerned with the domestic or tertiary equipment of the home, and it is more particularly applied to the automated control of the driving means of the shutter devices which equip the windows and doors.

Dans la suite, aux fins de faciliter la lecture et la compréhension de l'exposé des problématiques et des solutions qui y sont apportées par l'invention, on se focalisera plus particulièrement sur l'exemple des volets roulants, cependant aisément transposable aux autres équipements mentionnés ci-dessus, ou plus généralement éligibles à ces solutions. La commande de la motorisation des volets roulants est ancienne, et dans la plupart des cas réalisée soit par des boutons de commande muraux, soit par des télécommandes dont l'avantage principal est qu'elles sont déplaçables au moins dans le périmètre de la pièce dont on veut commander l'ouverture ou la fermeture des volets, ce qui s'avère particulièrement commode sur un plan pratique.In the following, for the purpose of facilitating the reading and understanding of the presentation of the problems and solutions provided by the invention, we will focus more particularly on the example of roller shutters, however easily transposable to other equipment mentioned above, or more generally eligible for these solutions. The control of the motorization of shutters is old, and in most cases carried out either by wall control buttons, or by remote controls whose main advantage is that they are movable at least in the perimeter of the room of which we want to control the opening or closing of the shutters, which is particularly convenient on a practical level.

Historiquement, la commande de l'ouverture et de la fermeture s'effectuait via deux boutons séparés. Dans une volonté de simplification et d'ergonomie, selon l'invention, il est proposé un dispositif de commande à distance comportant un boîtier muni de moyens de commande actionnés manuellement et de moyens de traitement de l'état de ces moyens de commande, dispositif qui est tel que lesdits moyens de commande comportent un unique organe de commande de l'ouverture et de la fermeture automatisée du dispositif de fermeture de baie commandable par rapport au boîtier selon une course s'étendant entre deux positions extrêmes commandant respectivement l'ouverture et la fermeture complète du dispositif d'obturation.Historically, the command to open and close was via two separate buttons. In a desire for simplification and ergonomics, according to the invention, there is provided a remote control device comprising a housing provided with manually operated control means and means for processing the state of these control means, which is such that said control means comprise a single control member of the opening and the automated closure of the bay closure device controllable relative to the housing in a race extending between two extreme positions respectively controlling the opening and the complete closure of the closure device.

Le dispositif de commande de l'invention inclut des configurations dans lesquelles l'organe de commande est mobile par rapport au boîtier selon une course linéaire ou rotative, et peut comporter une zone tactile. Il peut par ailleurs être muni d'un bouton d'arrêt du déplacement du dispositif d'obturation. Un tel système est facilement manipulable, l'existence d'un organe de commande dont le déplacement est réversible le rendant en outre particulièrement convivial et agréable d'utilisation.The controller of the invention includes configurations in which the controller is movable relative to the housing in a linear or rotational stroke, and may include a touch zone. It can also be provided with a stop button for moving the shutter device. Such a system is easily manipulated, the existence of a control member whose movement is reversible further making it particularly user-friendly and pleasant to use.

L'hypothèse d'un bouton de commande pour le déplacement par exemple d'un volet induit, par analogie avec des dispositifs de télécommande utilisés dans d'autres contextes, l'idée que les différentes opérations à gérer doivent être traitées par réalisation de séquences d'actions appliquées au bouton. Ainsi, dans les dispositifs connus, une première impulsion peut signifier le départ du déplacement de l'élément commandé, une seconde impulsion entraînant ensuite l'arrêt du mouvement. En variante, le déplacement peut être poursuivi tant que le bouton est actionné, et stoppé lorsque l'utilisateur relâche son effort. D'autres combinaisons de séquences d'actions sur le bouton peuvent conduire à des modes de fonctionnement alternatifs, au gré du concepteur de la télécommande. Dans tous les cas, si l'utilisateur ne veut qu'une ouverture ou une fermeture partielle de l'élément commandé, il doit rester sur site pour évaluer visuellement le positionnement qui lui convient, puis exercer l'action qui est prévue, dans le séquencement programmé, pour stopper le mouvement de l'élément. Le séquencement des actions sur un bouton implique nécessairement une commande dans la durée, et la nécessité pour l'utilisateur d'être présent pour initier le début et la fin des opérations de commande. Selon sa sensibilité, l'utilisateur peut utiliser le bouton « mécanique » ou, lorsqu'elle est présente, la zone tactile.The hypothesis of a control button for the displacement of, for example, an induced shutter, by analogy with remote control devices used in other contexts, the idea that the various operations to be managed must be processed by making sequences of actions applied to the button. Thus, in the known devices, a first pulse can mean the start of the displacement of the controlled element, a second pulse then causing the movement to stop. Alternatively, the movement can be continued while the button is pressed, and stopped when the user relaxes his effort. Other combinations of action sequences on the button can lead to alternative modes of operation, at the discretion of the designer of the remote control. In all cases, if the user only wants a partial opening or closing of the controlled element, he must remain on site to visually evaluate the positioning that suits him, then perform the action that is planned, in the programmed sequencing, to stop the movement of the element. The sequencing of the actions on a button necessarily implies a command in the duration, and the need for the user to be present to initiate the beginning and the end of the control operations. According to his sensitivity, the user can use the "mechanical" button or, when present, the touch zone.

La vitesse d'entraînement de ces mécanismes n'étant jamais très élevée, notamment pour des raisons de sécurité, l'opération peut vite s'avérer contraignante, notamment si les dimensions de l'élément à actionner sont conséquentes, ou s'il y en a plusieurs à commander. Le temps passé à la commande de chaque volet peut de plus s'alourdir si le réglage obtenu n'est pas satisfaisant, entraînant pour l'utilisateur des manoeuvres supplémentaires pour rectifier la position du volet.Since the driving speed of these mechanisms is never very high, especially for safety reasons, the operation can quickly become restrictive, especially if the dimensions of the element to be actuated are substantial, or if there is has several to order. The time spent on the control of each shutter can also increase if the adjustment obtained is not satisfactory, causing the user additional maneuvers to rectify the position of the shutter.

L'invention remédie à ces inconvénients, en proposant une solution selon laquelle l'appareil de commande à distance comporte un étage de codage de la position de ou sur l'organe de commande définissant une consigne en entrée des moyens de traitement, lesdits moyens de traitement étant aptes à générer pour chaque consigne un signal de commande d'un positionnement unique du dispositif d'obturation par rapport aux deux positions d'ouverture et de fermeture.The invention overcomes these drawbacks, by proposing a solution according to which the remote control apparatus comprises a coding stage of the position of or on the control member defining an input setpoint of the processing means, said means for processing being able to generate for each instruction a control signal of a single positioning of the closure device with respect to the two open and closed positions.

En d'autres termes, l'utilisateur communique au système en une seule opération instantanée une consigne qui sera ensuite gérée par les moyens de traitement, les moyens mécaniques (ou le doigt de l'utilisateur dans le cas d'une zone tactile) permettant une variation de la position de (ou sur) l'organe de commande, position ensuite transformée en grandeur électronique susceptible d'être traitée par un module de traitement électronique. Ce dernier est par exemple basé sur un microcontrôleur dont les entrées/sorties sont respectivement reliées à l'étage de codage et à un étage permettant leur envoi à destination de moyens d'entraînement des volets. Une fois la position de l'organe de commande fixée, nul besoin de rester jusqu'à ce que le volet arrive dans la position requise : un seul geste suffit pour réaliser la commande du déplacement du volet vers le positionnement désiré.In other words, the user communicates to the system in a single instantaneous operation a setpoint which will then be managed by the processing means, the mechanical means (or the finger of the user in the case of a touch zone) allowing a variation of the position of (or on) the control member, position then transformed into an electronic variable that can be processed by an electronic processing module. The latter is for example based on a microcontroller whose inputs / outputs are respectively connected to the coding stage and a stage for sending them to flap drive means. Once the position of the control member fixed, no need to stay until the flap arrives in the required position: a single gesture is sufficient to achieve control of the movement of the flap to the desired positioning.

De préférence, l'étage de codage consiste en un codeur incrémental ou un potentiomètre de forte valeur ohmique suivi d'un étage convertisseur analogique/digital. Le potentiomètre est à forte valeur résistive pour d'évidentes raisons d'économie d'énergie, le dispositif de commande à distance n'étant pas autonome à cet égard, et en général tributaire d'une batterie ou d'au moins une pile.Preferably, the coding stage consists of an incremental encoder or a potentiometer of high ohmic value followed by an analog / digital converter stage. The potentiometer is of high resistive value for obvious reasons of energy saving, the remote control device is not autonomous in this respect, and generally dependent on a battery or at least one battery.

Selon une possibilité, les moyens de traitement peuvent comporter des moyens de conversion de la consigne en un signal de commande du positionnement du dispositif d'obturation qui obéissent à une courbe linéaire de pente constante. Dans ce cas, la distance parcourue par le dispositif d'obturation après commande est homothétique de la fraction de course de l'organe de commande qui est effectuée sur le dispositif de commande de l'invention.According to one possibility, the processing means may comprise means for converting the setpoint into a control signal for the positioning of the closure device which obey a linear curve of constant slope. In this case, the distance traveled by the shutter device after control is homothetic of the stroke fraction of the control member which is performed on the control device of the invention.

Alternativement, les moyens de traitement peuvent comporter des moyens de conversion de la consigne issue de l'organe de commande en un signal de commande du positionnement du dispositif d'obturation qui obéissent à une courbe dont la pente diminue au voisinage des positions extrêmes de l'organe de commande. L'idée est, dans un but de précision, de réaliser une commande par exemple non linéaire selon laquelle la course de commande est importante pour gérer un déplacement réduit du volet, à ses limites, par exemple entre sa position fermée et sa position ajourée. Dans la partie centrale du déplacement du volet, la gestion du déplacement de la commande peut être plus grossière, aucune finesse de commande n'étant requise.Alternatively, the processing means may comprise means for converting the setpoint from the control member into a control signal for positioning the closure device which obey a curve whose slope decreases in the vicinity of the extreme positions of the control device. control member. The idea is, for the sake of precision, to achieve a command for example non-linear in which the control stroke is important to manage a reduced displacement of the flap at its limits, for example between its closed position and its open position. In the central part of the displacement of the shutter, the management of the displacement of the command can be coarser, no finesse of command being required.

Selon encore une autre variante, les moyens de traitement peuvent comporter des moyens de conversion de la consigne en un signal de commande du positionnement du dispositif d'obturation qui obéissent à une courbe variable à partir de la position extrême de ou sur l'organe de commande correspondant à la fermeture du dispositif d'obturation et pour une fraction au moins égale à 50% de sa course correspondant à un déplacement du dispositif d'obturation au voisinage de cette position de fermeture, les moyens de traitement générant un signal d'ouverture complète du dispositif d'obturation lorsque la consigne correspond à une position de ou sur l'organe de commande située au-delà de ladite fraction.According to yet another variant, the processing means may comprise means for converting the setpoint into a control signal for the positioning of the closure device that obey a variable curve from the end position of or on the control device. control corresponding to the closure of the closure device and for a fraction at least equal to 50% of its stroke corresponding to a displacement of the closure device in the vicinity of this closed position, the processing means generating an opening signal complete shutter device when the setpoint corresponds to a position of or on the control member located beyond said fraction.

Dans ce cas, dans une perspective sécuritaire surtout applicable aux volets battants, plus de 50 % de la course de commande provoque un déplacement relativement réduit entre la position où le volet est complètement fermé et une position dans laquelle il est entrouvert, le reste de la course étant synonyme d'ouverture complète du dispositif d'obturation.In this case, from a safety perspective especially applicable to the flaps, more than 50% of the control stroke causes a relatively small displacement between the position where the shutter is completely closed and a position in which it is ajar, the rest of the race being synonymous with complete opening of the shutter device.

Selon une autre possibilité de l'invention, les moyens de traitement sont aptes à générer un signal de vitesse à l'adresse de moyens d'entraînement du dispositif d'obturation. Comme cela sera expliqué plus en détail dans la suite, cette possibilité est utilisée pour moduler la vitesse du déplacement du volet, typiquement entre deux valeurs respectivement nominale et réduite, la première étant prévue lorsque la vitesse de commande est considérée comme normale alors que la seconde est utilisée si la commande est actionnée lentement.According to another possibility of the invention, the processing means are able to generate a speed signal at the drive means address of the shutter device. As will be explained in more detail later, this possibility is used to modulate the speed of movement of the flap, typically between two values respectively nominal and reduced, the first being provided when the control speed is considered normal while the second is used if the control is operated slowly.

De préférence, les moyens de traitement sont reliés à un émetteur, permettant un fonctionnement de type télécommande rendant le dispositif de commande nomade.Preferably, the processing means are connected to a transmitter, enabling a remote control type of operation making the control device nomadic.

De préférence encore, l'organe de commande est relié à un dispositif d'affichage symbolisant la fraction de course parcourue par le dispositif d'obturation correspondant à la position de ou sur l'organe de commande, et donnant en retour à l'utilisateur une indication visuelle de la commande qui est supposée être implémentée par le système. Selon une configuration possible, le dispositif d'affichage peut consister en une fenêtre pratiquée dans le boîtier, l'organe de commande est par exemple relié à une platine entraînée en regard de la fenêtre et dont une surface visible à travers ladite fenêtre comporte une représentation graphique reflétant la position du dispositif d'obturation. Plus précisément encore, la représentation graphique peut consister en un dégradé progressif d'une couleur ou en une symbolisation graphique du dispositif d'obturation par rapport à la baie.More preferably, the control member is connected to a display device symbolizing the stroke fraction traveled by the shutter device corresponding to the position of or on the control member, and giving back to the user a visual indication of the command that is supposed to be implemented by the system. According to a possible configuration, the display device may consist of a window made in the housing, the control member is for example connected to a plate driven opposite the window and a surface visible through said window comprises a representation graphic reflecting the position of the shutter device. More precisely still, the graphic representation may consist of a gradual gradient of a color or a graphic symbolization of the shutter device with respect to the array.

Plus précisément et selon une configuration possible, l'appareil de commande à distance de l'invention peut comporter une première coque reliée avec un degré de liberté à une seconde coque à laquelle est solidarisée une carte électronique dotée d'un potentiomètre dont un curseur mobile équipe la première coque, un capot logé dans une ouverture intérieure de la première coque étant relié à la carte électronique et apte à transmettre une action exercée sur ledit capot en direction d'un commutateur de la carte électronique.More precisely and according to one possible configuration, the remote control apparatus of the invention may comprise a first shell connected with a degree of freedom to a second shell to which is secured an electronic card with a potentiometer with a movable cursor on the first hull, a hood housed in an inner opening of the first hull being connected to the electronic card and adapted to transmit an action exerted on said hood in the direction of a switch on the electronic board.

La disposition du capot dans l'ouverture intérieure de la première coque lui confère une fonction mécanique en lui permettant de reprendre les efforts exercés sur ladite première coque. Il fait de plus office de bouton d'arrêt disposé au centre de l'organe de commande de la position de l'organe d'obturation, en l'espèce la première coque.The arrangement of the hood in the inner opening of the first shell gives it a mechanical function by allowing it to take the forces exerted on said first shell. It also serves as a stop button disposed in the center of the control member of the position of the shutter member, in this case the first shell.

Par ailleurs, dans une telle configuration, le capot peut comporter une fenêtre placée en regard d'une surface de la première coque munie d'une représentation graphique reflétant la position du dispositif d'obturation.Moreover, in such a configuration, the cover may comprise a window placed facing a surface of the first shell provided with a graphic representation reflecting the position of the closure device.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de commande à distance d'au moins un dispositif d'obturation de baie au moyen d'un appareil tel que décrit auparavant, et qui se caractérise par les étapes suivantes :

  • codage de la position de ou sur l'organe de commande, définissant une consigne;
  • traitement de la consigne pour l'obtention via une fonction bijective implémentée par les moyens de traitement d'un signal de commande de positionnement du dispositif d'obturation;
  • envoi du signal de commande de positionnement à l'adresse de moyens moteurs entraînant le dispositif d'obturation.
The invention also relates to a remote control method of at least one bay shutter device by means of an apparatus as described previously, and which is characterized by the following steps:
  • encoding the position of or on the controller, defining a setpoint;
  • processing of the setpoint for obtaining via a bijective function implemented by the processing means of a positioning control signal of the shutter device;
  • sending the positioning control signal to the motor means address driving the shutter device.

Le procédé code la position de ou sur l'organe de commande (si c'est une zone tactile), un traitement ultérieur affectant en substance au volet un positionnement homothétique de celui pris par ou sur ledit organe sur le boîtier.The method encodes the position of or on the control member (if it is a touch zone), a subsequent treatment substantially affecting the flap a homothetic positioning of that taken by or on said member on the housing.

Secondairement, ledit procédé est tel qu'il réalise :

  • la détection d'une modification de consigne ;
  • la mesure de la durée de la phase de modification de la consigne ;
  • la comparaison de la durée mesurée avec une valeur seuil de durée prédéterminée mémorisée par les moyens de traitement ;
  • l'envoi d'un signal de vitesse nominale si la durée mesurée est inférieure à la durée seuil mémorisée ; ou
  • l'envoi d'un signal de vitesse inférieur à la vitesse nominale si la durée mesurée est supérieure à la durée seuil mémorisée.
Secondarily, said method is such that it realizes:
  • detecting a set change;
  • measuring the duration of the setpoint modification phase;
  • comparing the measured duration with a predetermined duration threshold value stored by the processing means;
  • sending a nominal speed signal if the measured duration is less than the stored threshold duration; or
  • sending a speed signal lower than the nominal speed if the measured duration is greater than the stored threshold duration.

C'est par ces étapes qu'est mesurée la vitesse de commande dont il a été fait état auparavant, vitesse que reflète alors celle du déplacement du volet. L'idée est de rendre le système adaptatif au mode de fonctionnement de l'utilisateur, l'action douce et lente s'accompagnant d'un déplacement beaucoup moins bruyant du volet, en raison de la faible vitesse des moyens moteurs.It is by these steps that the speed of control of which it was mentioned before is measured, speed which then reflects that of the displacement of the shutter. The idea is to make the system adaptive to the operating mode of the user, the smooth and slow action is accompanied by a much less noisy movement of the flap, due to the low speed of the motor means.

L'invention va à présent être décrite plus en détail, en référence aux figures annexées, pour lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une représentation très schématique d'une configuration linéaire d'un appareil de commande selon l'invention doté d'un bouton de commande ; et
  • la figure 2 en représente, également très schématiquement, une version rotative à bouton de commande.
The invention will now be described in more detail, with reference to the appended figures, for which:
  • the figure 1 is a very schematic representation of a linear configuration of a control apparatus according to the invention with a control button; and
  • the figure 2 represents, also very schematically, a rotary version with a control button.

En référence à la figure 1, l'organe de commande (1) est coulissant dans une glissière (2) pratiquée dans une face du boîtier (3). Un bouton d'arrêt (4) du déplacement du dispositif d'obturation de la baie, par exemple un volet roulant, est prévu. Le fonctionnement est tel que la position donnée par l'utilisateur à l'organe de commande (1) est codée par des moyens de codage, lesquels définissant de fait une consigne en entrée de moyens de traitement électroniques.With reference to the figure 1 , the control member (1) is slidable in a slide (2) formed in one face of the housing (3). A stop button (4) for the movement of the shutter device of the bay, for example a rolling shutter, is provided. The operation is such that the position given by the user to the control member (1) is coded by coding means, which in fact defines an instruction at the input of electronic processing means.

Ces derniers génèrent un signal de commande d'un positionnement du dispositif d'obturation qui est unique par rapport aux deux positions d'ouverture et de fermeture, la fonction de traitement étant bijective, associant aux valeurs de consigne des valeur de positionnement du volet pouvant suivre une fonction linéaire, dans une portion centrale et de variation spécifique à au moins une extrémité etc..These generate a control signal for a positioning of the shutter device which is unique with respect to the two open and closed positions, the processing function being bijective, associating with the set values positioning values of the flap that can follow a linear function, in a central portion and specific variation at least one end etc.

Dans la configuration de la figure 2, le fonctionnement est identique avec une configuration rotative : le bouton de commande (10) est mobile en rotation selon la flèche F entre deux positions extrêmes matérialisées par les marques (12, 12') dans la face avant représentée du boîtier (13). Un bouton d'arrêt (14) apparaît dans le coin gauche inférieur dudit boîtier (13). L'autre coin inférieur est occupé par une fenêtre (15) faisant apparaître une représentation symbolique de la position du ou des volet(s) commandé(s) en relation avec une baie, position qui correspond bijectivement à la consigne dérivant de la position du bouton (10).In the configuration of the figure 2 , the operation is identical with a rotary configuration: the control button (10) is rotatable according to the arrow F between two extreme positions marked by the marks (12, 12 ') in the front face shown of the housing (13). A stop button (14) appears in the lower left corner of said housing (13). The other lower corner is occupied by a window (15) showing a symbolic representation of the position of the shutter (s) controlled (s) in relation to a bay, a position which corresponds bijectively to the setpoint derived from the position of the button (10).
