Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an electronic control system with remote control for reversible electric ratiomotors, commonly called “squared”, assigned to the operation of Venetian blinds.
  • a reversible squared type electric ratiomotor with appropriate power and speed gets thus installed in central position inside the box that contains the driving shaft of the blind.
  • a pair of electric push buttons connected with the ratiomotor is provided in order to allow the user to control from the ground the operation of the same ratiomotor in one sense or in the other for the corresponding opening, closing or movement for the adjustment of the inclination of the slats of the roller shutter.
  • the end of the opening or closing movement is controlled by an electromechanical type microswitch, whose state is made to be dependent on the angular position of the driving shaft of the roller shutter by means of an appropriate mechanics that allows also the adjustment of the threshold for the intervention.
  • the radio transmitter has its own identification code that is recognisable only by the enabled receiver or receivers.
  • Scope of the present invention is therefore to provide an electronic control system with remote control for reversible electric ratiomotors assigned to the operation of Venetian blinds.
  • Another scope of the present invention is to provide a control system destined to the aforesaid use, which allows the adjustment of the end of stroke from a distance.
  • control system in view of the aforesaid scopes the control system according to the present invention is characterised in that it comprises a mobile part made up of a portable radio transmitter and a fixed part associated with a ratiomotor for the operation of a Venetian blind, said fixed part being made up of a radio receiver, of an encoder for the detection of the angle of rotation of the ratiomotor and of an electronic power unit controlled by said radio receiver and by said encoder so as to determine the rotation of the slats of the Venetian blinds, in one sense or in the other, up to a desired end of stroke position under the control of the radio transmitter.
  • the radio transmitter is utilisable for the control of the position of the end of stroke from a distance too.
  • a single transmitter is capable of controlling more than one radio receiver and therefore the operation of several Venetian blinds.
  • an electronic remote control system fundamentally comprises a mobile part 30 and a fixed part 60 which are connected by means of radio waves.
  • the mobile part 30 is provided with a portable radio transmitter with four push buttons 1, 2, 3 and 4, corresponding to as many channels, the first two of which devoted to the individual lifting and lowering control and the other two destined to centralised controls. There is also provided a red led 33 that signals the emission of radio waves.
  • a removable cover 32 closes a space, shown in Figure 2, in which a supply battery 32 and a push button 5 for the enabling of a radio receiver comprised within the fixed part 60 are housed, as it will be better explained hereinafter.
  • the push buttons 1, 2, 3 and 4 are connected with a microcontroller 6, connected in biunivocal way with a memory 7 containing identification codes memorised by the supplier and connected in addition with a transmitter section 8 comprising an antenna 9.
  • the push button 5 is connected with the microprocessor 6 too.
  • the fixed part 60 is in turn associated with an electric reversible ratiomotor 20, that is housed inside a casing 61 and determines, when commanded to do so, the rotation of a square section motor shaft 62 for the consequent rotation of the slats of a Venetian blind.
  • the aforesaid fixed part 60 comprises a radio receiver 40, an encoder 21 that is suitable to detect the angle of rotation of the motor shaft 62, and to this purpose made up of a pierced disc 63 which is fastened onto the motor shaft 62 (see also Figure 3) and of a pair of fixed sensors 64 opposite and staggered as regards one another (as for example of the type described in EP-A-0671676), and an electronic power unit 50.
  • the radio receiver 40, the pair of sensors 64 and power unit 50 are mounted onto a printed circuit card 65 provided with the appropriate electric connections. Cable guide elements 66 and 67 for the passage of a power supply wire 68 and of an antenna cable 69 are provided.
  • the radio receiver 40 comprises a receiving section 11 with relative antenna 10 (connected with the antenna cable 69 in Figure 1) and a microcontroller 12 which receives signals from the receiving section 11 and it is connected in biunivocal way with a RAM memory 14, a sound alarm 13 which is piloted by the microcontroller 12, an amplifier 16 positioned in output of the radio receiver 40 and finally a push button 15, suitable to the clearing of the RAM memory 14.
  • a power unit 50 is connected, that comprises a receiver decoder 17 connected with a control unit 18, than in turn pilots a power device 19 connected with the ratiomotor 20.
  • the encoder 21, physically associated with the ratiomotor 20, is functionally interposed between the ratiomotor 20 and the control unit 18.
  • FIG. 6 a possible functional block diagram of the control unit 18 is shown, in which the proper connections with the external blocks are also rendered: the unit 18 is internally subdivided into a counter block 24, that receives signals from the encoder 21 and is connected with a non volatile EEPROM memory 25, and a comparison block 26, that receives signals from the memory 25 and sends them to a microcontroller 27, the latter connected with the remaining external blocks and with the same memory 25.
  • the control system according to the invention is therefore made of a radio receiver 40 with power unit 50 and encoder 21, all mounted onto the fixed structure of the Venetian blind, and of a portable radio transmitter 30 by which it is possible to control the radio receiver 40 and therefore ratiomotor 20 from a distance.
  • Each transmitter has four channels for the normal use that are set in action by the four relative push buttons: such push buttons are usable in order to control the two running directions (lifting and lowering) of the single ratiomotor (push buttons 1 and 2) and in order to control the two running directions of other ratiomotors (push buttons 3 and 4) in a centralised way.
  • radio transmitter 30 it is also possible to carry out the adjustment of the end of stroke points of the roller shutter being controlled, to memorise or to cancel more transmitters relatively to a single radio receiver.
  • the transmitter sends commands to a receiver by using a signal characterised by an emission code having a determined protocol (for instance made of 66 bits), which gets changed at each transmission in a random way (Rolling-code system).
  • each transmitter has its own identification code recognisable only by the enabled receiver or receivers, which characterises it as regards others by making it unique and not reproducible.
  • Each control system according to the invention is destined to being supplied to the user with the transmitter provided with enabling only for the push buttons 1 and 2, which control the lifting and the lowering of the Venetian blinds, in addition to the orientation of the slats.
  • the push buttons 1 and 2 which control the lifting and the lowering of the Venetian blinds, in addition to the orientation of the slats.
  • the top end of stroke position is memorised and in order to memorise the bottom one too it is necessary to press the push button 2 (lowering) until the reaching of the desired point of end of stroke, to release it, to press simultaneously the push buttons 1 and 2 for a time above one second, then to release them and finally to immediately (within 0.25 second) press the lowering push button 2 for a time above one second: in a similar way as before, the information relative to the bottom end of stroke position is memorised in the memory 25 , so that at each subsequent operation on the push button 2 the mobile element will automatically reach the aforesaid bottom end of stroke point.
  • the transmitter is capable to control the lifting and the lowering of Venetian blinds up to the automatic stop in correspondence of the relative end of stroke: for instance, by pressing the push button 1, relative to the lifting, the microprocessor 6 sends, by means of the transmitter section 8, a codified signal to the receiver 40 and therefore the microcontroller 12 is programmed so as to transmit a control signal to the power unit 50, whose control unit 18 is predisposed so as to set in action the power device 19 and to obtain the relative movement of the ratiomotor 20; the number of impulses generated by the encoder 21 and associated with the movement of the ratiomotor 20 is counted by the block 24 and compared by means of the block 26 with the information stored in the memory 25, indicating the end of stroke position, and in the instance the two data turn out to be equal, the microcontroller 27 automatically stops the ratiomotor 20 and the slats of the Venetian blinds have reached the desired end of stroke position.
  • Each receiver for instance, can memorise 64 channels and therefore it is possible to associate at most 32 transmitters with it with the centralised control channels 3 and 4, or 16 four-channel transmitters 1, 2, 3 and 4.
  • the push button 5 In order to operate a cancellation of the channels of an additional transmitter or of the channels 3 and 4 of the main transmitter it is necessary to carry out the following operations for each single channel: the push button 5 must be pressed for a certain number of times at regular intervals, within a determined period of time (for instance for three times within 5 seconds), and in such a way a codified signal is sent by the transmitter 30 to the receiver which reaches the microcontroller 12, which sets in action the sound alarm 13 in such a way that the latter sounds slowly at intermittence and in addition it predisposes the RAM memory 14 so that its locations, relative to certain channels, get cancelled.
  • the subsequent pressure on the push button of the channel that it is wanted to be cancelled within a prefixed interval of time (for instance 5 seconds) from the beginning of the sound signal, causes the deletion of the locations in the RAM memory 14, relative exactly to that determined channel, so that at each subsequent command given with the push button of the channel being cancelled, the microcontroller 12, to which the relative codified signal from the transmitter 30 gets, does not receive any instruction from the RAM memory 14 and the power block unit 50 is not piloted and therefore the ratiomotor 20 is not set in operation.
