Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electric roller shutter control for a motor-driven roller shutter, a blind or the like.
  • an operating keyboard 2, 10 for generating control signals for initiating the opening and closing of the roller shutter.
  • roller shutter controls are generally known.
  • the motor is started by pressing a closing button so that it lowers the roller shutters.
  • the shutter is opened by pressing an opening button.
  • the roller shutter control is provided with an operating part on a front panel, which contains a display and a keyboard.
  • the electronic control circuit and / or the power unit, which is electrically connected to the motor, are located behind the front panel.
  • the control section and the power section are located in a standard-compliant housing that can be easily inserted into a normal installation flush-mounted or surface-mounted box next to a window.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an electronic shutter control of the type mentioned, which enables a fully automatic operation of the shutter without the need to change the control from time to time.
  • the opening and closing times for the roller shutters can be specified for practically infinite time. Since sunrise and sunset correspond to a periodic function with the anniversary as the variable size, the calendar unit according to the invention supplies the correct values for generating the control signals for opening and closing the roller shutter year after year.
  • the invention can be used not only for roller shutters, but also for blinds, awnings, folding shutters and the like.
  • the electronic calendar unit can be set up by the manufacturer in such a way that the control signals are generated in accordance with the calendar directly after manufacture in the not yet installed state. When installing the control system, there is no need to make any adjustments.
  • the roller shutter control according to the invention has a counter unit serving as a clock and a comparator which compares the contents of the counter unit with a preset value dependent on sunrise or sunset at least daily and generates a control signal if they match.
  • the time count carried out by the counter unit can expediently be displayed on a display of the housing of the control.
  • the invention provides that the calendar unit contains a table memory in which opening times and closing times are stored for each calendar day or for a group of several consecutive calendar days.
  • the roller shutter control preferably has a microprocessor, and with the aid of the microprocessor the table memory is addressed depending on the date or the anniversary, so that the opening or closing time associated with this anniversary is read out. The read time is compared in the comparator with the current time. If they match, the corresponding control signal for opening or closing the roller shutter is generated.
  • a common time stored in the table can be provided for a group of several days. Since the times for sunrise and sunset vary only slightly from one day to the next, the objective according to the invention of a shutter actuation dependent on sunrise and sunset is nevertheless achieved.
  • the calendar unit contains a computing unit which calculates the opening times and the closing times depending on a mathematical function which represents an approximation of the course of the sunrise time and the sunset time depending on the calendar day. If you draw the times of day for sunrise and for sunset in a coordinate system, the calendar days of a year are plotted on the abscissa there is a function that in principle resembles a cosine function. This cosine function is in principle the basis for the mathematical function mentioned, with which the sunrise and sunset times are approximated. In this case, a table storage is not required.
  • the dependence of the operation of the roller shutter on the time of day of sunrise or sunset caused according to the invention means on the one hand that the opening times and the closing times correspond more or less exactly with the time of day for sunrise and sunset. On the other hand, this dependency also means that the opening and closing times are offset in time from the times of day for sunrise and sunset.
  • Such a time shift is particularly appropriate in the middle of summer and in the middle of winter. Since at the time of solstice in the summer the sun is already rising at around 4.00 a.m., the control system can be programmed in this time of year to delay the opening of the roller shutter by an hour or two. This can be pre-programmed programming or you can implement this function through free programming. It can be realized, for example, by always opening the roller shutters at a constant time, for example 6:00 a.m., on selected days in summer. Corresponding considerations apply to the closing of the roller shutter and / or also to the operation of the roller shutter control in winter.
  • the roller shutter control according to the invention can be further improved in that a sun sensor is arranged at a position that can be shaded by the roller shutter, which causes the roller shutter to close when a certain determined brightness is exceeded, stops the roller shutter when the brightness falls below the first or a second specific brightness and at Falling below the first, the second or a third brightness opens the roller shutter.
  • a sun sensor can be arranged in the area of the window to be shadowed by the roller shutter. If, for example, strong solar radiation falls on the sun sensor around noon, the sun sensor emits a control signal, according to which the roller shutter is lowered, until the sun sensor is shadowed by the lowered roller shutter. The sun sensor then detects a reduced brightness, so that it causes the roller shutter to stop.
  • the sun sensor may still reach the sun sensor indirectly. If the strength of the sunlight decreases, it becomes darker in the area of the sun sensor. The sun sensor was shadowed by the roller shutter, so that the shutter drive was switched off. If a certain run-on time of the roller shutter is taken into account, the sun sensor is then in an area whose brightness is lower than the response brightness of the sun sensor when the roller shutter is lowered.
  • the response threshold of the sun sensor for lowering the roller shutter can be called the first brightness. If the sun sensor is then shadowed by the shutter while it is being lowered, it causes the shutter to stop. The then prevailing brightness in the area of the sun sensor can be called the second brightness. If the solar radiation then decreases, the brightness in the area of the sun sensor drops even more. The sun sensor then responds in order to cause the roller shutter to move up until the second brightness or the first brightness is reached again. The brightness at which the roller shutter is raised again can be described as the third brightness. If, for example, the sun was covered by dense clouds, it is relatively dark outside the roller shutter, so that the roller shutter is moved all the way up, that is, it is opened.
  • Different brightness levels of the sun sensor that is to say different threshold values, can be provided for the processes described above. However, only two or even a single threshold value can also be provided.
  • the invention provides that a dead time of e.g. 7 ... 15 minutes is provided.
  • the above-described function of the sun sensor can, however, be expanded further in that the output signal of the sun sensor is linked to the control signal from the annual calendar unit in such a way that the closing of the roller shutter from a certain evening point of time depends on the output signal of the sun sensor , i.e. only in a certain darkness.
  • the control signal generated by the annual calendar unit thus represents a ready state of the roller shutter drive for closing the roller shutter.
  • the output signal of the sun sensor determines when the roller shutter is finally closed.
  • the roller shutter only closes when a certain darkness is reached. This is done by linking the control signals generated by the annual calendar unit with the output signal of the sun sensor.
  • the time from which the output signal of the control signal causes the roller shutter to close also varies accordingly.
  • roller shutter control is therefore that the closing of the roller shutter in the evening ultimately depends on whether the sun sensor detects sufficient darkness.
  • the invention provides a light sensor whose output signal is accompanied by the control signal from the annual calendar unit is linked in such a way that the opening and / or closing of the roller shutter takes place from a specific morning and / or evening time depending on the output signal of the light sensor.
  • the annual calendar unit therefore makes the roller shutter control “armed” at a specific point in time in the morning and / or in the evening, the output signal of the light sensor ultimately determining the exact point in time at which the roller shutter is opened in the morning and closed in the evening. You can also program a fixed time in the morning or evening, from which on the output signal of the light sensor is effective.
  • the opening and / or closing of the roller shutter within a respective morning and evening time interval of e.g. one hour depending on the output signal of the light sensor.
  • the roller shutter is opened immediately after a control signal has been generated by the annual calendar unit, which defines an opening time interval of, for example, one hour. If it is still dark for a relatively long time in the morning, for example because the sky is covered, the light sensor does not emit a brightness signal, so that the roller shutter only opens at the end of the specified opening time interval, i.e. practically irrespective of the presence of a signal from the light sensor. The same procedure can be followed when closing the roller shutter in the evening.
  • the roller shutter control according to the invention can in principle be used in all latitudes of the globe. Naturally, sunrise and sunset depend on the degree of latitude north and south. The influences of longitude or time zones may be even stronger. For example, Madrid and Vienna are within the same time zone, but the times of sunrise and sunset actually differ by about an hour.
  • a watch can be designed, for example, as a counting device.
  • radio clocks have been available for some time. Coded time signals with a certain frequency are transmitted by a transmitter at certain time intervals. Accordingly, the invention provides that a receiver for a radio clock signal and an electronic processing circuit for the radio clock signal are provided in the shutter control. The radio clock signal emitted can be received and processed with this receiver. This saves some components in the shutter control. In addition, the exact time specifications can be used by the radio clock signal.
  • the control unit 2 has a front panel 4, a housing 6 fastened on the rear side of the front panel 4, a display 8 located on the front panel 4 and a keyboard 10 also located on the front panel 4.
  • the keyboard 10 contains keys for generating control signals and for Program to initiate motor operation to close or open a roller shutter (not shown).
  • a control part S and a power part L of the roller shutter control are located in the housing 6, as is shown schematically in FIG. 2.
  • the power section L contains a power supply device, relays and connections, and from the power section lead power cables to the drive motor of the roller shutter, which is preferably a so-called tubular motor, which is located in the hollow winding core of the roller shutter.
  • the control device 2 shown in Fig. 1 is inserted with the housing 6 in an opening in the wall near the window, so that the front panel 4 is easily plugged in and the housing 6 is easily accessible.
  • control part S comprises control electronics 12, the display 8 and the keyboard 10.
  • Fig. 3 shows the structure of the control part S in detail.
  • a bus 30 containing several transmission lines: the display 8, the keyboard 10, an interface (IF) 24 connecting the control part 1 to the power part L, a read-only memory (ROM) 14, a read / write memory (RAM) 16, a central processing unit (CPU), for example a microprocessor 18, with a register set (Reg.) 22, and a counter 20 functioning as a clock or calendar day counter (KZ).

  • IF interface
  • a control program is stored in the fixed memory 14, which, in addition to the control of opening and closing that is of interest here, also performs other control tasks depending on the time of day for sunset and sunrise.
  • the counter 20 is a multi-digit binary counter, however a decimal notation has been used in FIG. 4 for reasons of clarity. 4, the counter 20 includes three sections, a two-digit section for minutes (min), a two-digit section for hours (h), and a three-digit section (KT) for the current calendar day.
  • the counter is designed in such a way that it counts cyclically, i.e.: day 001 follows calendar day 365. Leap years are not taken into account, but it can be seen that even over many years there are only minor misalignment errors that are negligible.
  • the addressable memory locations are numbered from 1 to 730 on the left-hand side in FIG. 5.
  • the opening times for opening the roller shutter are stored in memory locations 1 to 365, and the evening closing times for the roller shutter are stored in memory locations 366 to 730.
  • the time 0830 stored in the first memory location corresponds approximately to the time of day for the sunrise at the end of the year and at the beginning of the year (the latest time of day for the sunrise corresponds to the beginning of winter, for reasons of simplification, however, the shortest day is from first January, which is still a permissible simplification).
  • the time of day for sunrise and, accordingly, the time of day for opening the roller shutter change with increasing calendar day.
  • the time corresponds to the value at the beginning of the year.
  • the closing times for the roller shutters are stored in memory locations 366 to 730.
  • the sunset at the beginning of the year takes place around 4.30 p.m.
  • a time delay of half an hour is programmed in here, so that the roller shutters only close when it is actually dark.
  • a corresponding time shift can also be taken into account in the morning opening times for the roller shutters.
  • the table memory shown in FIG. 5 can be programmed accordingly in the time in question in the middle of summer, that is to say no opening time before 6:00 in the summer time.
  • the opening times contained in the table memory can correspond to the actual sunrise, although additional control only enables the control signal to open the roller shutter at 6 a.m. .
  • step S1 the CPU 18 (FIG. 3) generates an address for the memory 16.
  • the address corresponds to the calendar day KT or depends on the calendar day.
  • step S2 the memory 16 with the generated address ADR is accessed.
  • the memory content read from this address is stored in register Reg. 22.
  • a comparison is now carried out by the CPU 18.
  • the content of the register Reg. 22 is compared with the content of the counter 20 (step S3).
  • step S4 a control signal for opening the roller shutter is generated (step S4).
  • step S5 the calendar day, which is stored in the left section KT of the counter 20 according to FIG. 4, is increased by 365 (step S5).
  • step S9 The control then goes into a waiting state (step S9), which lasts at least until the next calendar day has begun. Then the above-described sequence according to FIG. 6 takes place again.
  • the opening times and the closing times can also be determined purely by calculation.
  • Fig. 7 the course of the time of day for sunrise (the same applies to sunset) corresponds approximately to a cosine function, with 6.15 a.m. being an average value, corresponding to the time of day at sunrise at the beginning of spring and at the beginning of autumn (FA; HA ).
  • the CPU 18 can continuously calculate the required closing times.
  • the electronic annual calendar unit according to the invention is implemented by a programmed staircase function.
  • a specific opening and closing time of the roller shutter can be provided for each calendar week, these times then being increased or decreased by certain values of a few minutes from calendar week to calendar week.
  • the opening time can be reduced so that in the middle of the summer the same opening time, e.g. 6, occurs every morning for a period of several calendar weeks Clock results.
  • a random generator can also be provided in all the exemplary embodiments described above. This random generator can vary the control signals for causing the opening and closing of the roller shutter to be random so that the actual opening and closing times are slightly advanced or delayed in a range of, for example, half an hour. This prevents the impression that the building is uninhabited, which could be inferred from the practically regular opening and closing times of the shutters.
  • the above description relates to a roller shutter control with an annual calendar unit for automatically opening and closing a roller shutter depending on the time of day.
  • the roller shutter control described above can preferably be combined with a sun sensor 34 and a light sensor 32.
  • FIG. 3 shows schematically the light sensor 32 and the sun sensor 34 connected to the interface.
  • Such brightness sensors are known. While the sun sensor 34 serves to detect direct sunlight, that is to say very high brightness, the light sensor 32 serves here as a twilight sensor.
  • the two sensors can also be combined to form one sensor, this sensor then having different threshold values.
  • 8 a shows the course of a brightness measured in any unit during the 24 hours of a day. 8 a are two threshold values for a brightness H 1 and an even greater brightness H 2 registered.
  • FIG. 8 b shows an output signal of a light sensor 32 arranged outdoors (FIG. 3).
  • H 1 When the lower threshold value H 1 is reached, this responds to the increasing brightness during the dawn, for example at 3.50 h, in order to output a signal with a high level. After falling below this brightness H 1 by 20.10 h, the signal drops again.
  • 8 c shows the signal curve for a sun sensor. This is arranged on the window in such a way that it is shaded by the roller shutter when it is almost completely closed.
  • the sun sensor is directly exposed to sunlight at 5.50 h, so that it emits an output signal with a high level.
  • the signal (S 34) disappears at 11.40 h. Between 3:00 p.m. and 4:05 p.m. sun shines on the sun sensor again, so that the signal (S 34) returns to a high level.
  • FIG. 9 shows a 24-hour time slice, similar to a clock face.
  • the annual calendar unit is programmed here so that the opening of a roller shutter is to take place between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m., while the roller shutter is to be closed in the evening between 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
  • the control signal generated by the annual calendar unit which in each case characterizes a time interval and not a time, is combined with a twilight signal generated by the light sensor 32 (S 32) (FIG. 8 b). Since the twilight signal (S 32) is already generated at 3.50 h in the present case, is opened immediately at the beginning of the opening time interval, i.e. at 5.00 am of the roller shutter.
  • the sun shines on the sun sensor 34 from 5.50 h, so that it emits the signal (S 34). Accordingly, the roller shutters are closed again at 5.50 a.m. It remains closed as long as the signal S 34 is generated.
  • the sun sensor 34 is on at the window arranged at a point where it is shadowed by the latter when the roller shutter is almost completely lowered. If the roller shutter is lowered at 5.50 h, the roller shutter shades the sun sensor at a certain point in time so that it is in a relatively dark environment. Accordingly, the shutter control reacts to the output signal of the sun sensor by stopping the shutter immediately. The roller shutter runs on for a certain time, so that the sun sensor is finally in relative darkness when the roller shutter is stopped.
  • the shutter control responds to a corresponding output signal from the sun sensor without raising the shutter.
  • the roller shutter stops again. But if the sun is no longer shining, so it is relatively dark, the roller shutter is opened completely again.
  • the annual calendar unit In the evening, the annual calendar unit generates a time interval control signal to close the roller shutter between 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. However, this signal is combined with the signal generated by the light sensor 32 (S 32). This only drops to a low level at 20.10 h. The roller shutter is therefore only closed at 20.10 h. (If the light sensor only signaled the dusk entering at 21.10 h by corresponding signal changes in the signal (S 32), the roller shutter would close at the end of the one-hour period here, i.e. at 9 p.m.)
  • a point in time can occur at which the control signals generated by the annual calendar unit signal a ready state.
  • the sun sensor serves to provide protection against excessive sunlight during the day.
  • the output signal from the sun sensor can be combined with the corresponding control signal from the annual calendar unit to close the roller shutter.
  • the control signal on the part of the annual calendar unit is the first condition for closing the roller shutter, the output signal of the sun sensor representing a certain darkness can represent the second condition. The roller shutter is only closed if both conditions are present.
  • the output signal of the light sensor 32 arranged outdoors can also be linked to the control signals from the annual calendar unit in such a way that the control signals from the annual calendar unit control the roller shutter "arming" at a certain time in the morning and evening, the opening of the roller shutter in the morning and closing the roller shutter in the evening taking place depending on the output signal of the light sensor.
  • the control signals generated by the annual calendar unit change from day to day or at certain daily intervals, depending on the seasonally changing sunrise and sunset times.
  • control signals of the annual calendar unit with the output signals of the sun sensor or the light sensor can also be modified such that e.g. a constant fixed time of, for example, 5:00 p.m. is preprogrammed for the evening closing of the roller shutter, and from this point in time the roller shutter is actually closed when the sun sensor or the light sensor generate a signal representing a certain darkness.
  • the times for sunrise and sunset or opening times and closing times provided by the annual calendar unit are average values, such as may apply to the city of Frankfurt am Main. However, if the roller shutter control system according to the invention is used at other geographical locations, the actual times for sunrise and sunset may differ with respect to the “reference times”, as may be predetermined by the times in Frankfurt am Main. This applies to latitude north and south. The times for sunrise and sunset are different near the equator than near the north pole.
  • the relative time shift due to the time zones is even more serious.
  • the time zones depend on the longitude of the respective location. There are significant fluctuations within the same time zone. While e.g. Madrid and Vienna are in the same time zone, there is effectively an hourly difference in time between the respective sunrise times.
  • the invention has a compensation device. This is implemented, for example, by keyboard input.
  • the shutter control user or the installer can then key in the location of latitude and longitude, with the CPU 18 then internally calculating a correction time shift which is added to or subtracted from the mean times for sunrise and sunset.
  • a receiver 50 for a radio clock signal is shown in the lower left corner.
  • a transmitter transmits radio clock signals at certain time intervals.
  • the transmitter 50 receives this radio clock signal, which is then decoded internally by a processing circuit and converted into a corresponding time signal.
