Definitions

  • the invention concerns a system for opening and closing openable elements of any type installed in buildings, and particularly for opening and closing openable elements such as skylights and the like for the purpose of natural lighting and air circulation.
  • openable element is used in the following description to indicate any openable structure installed in a building.
  • the invention also concerns a peripheral control unit for opening and closing said openable elements.
  • the motor for opening and closing each openable element is connected to a power supply line coming from a central control unit containing operating means that can be operated by the user.
  • one or more power supply lines go from the central control unit to the motors for operating the openable elements, and all the openable elements with motors powered by the same line can be opened and closed manually by means of push buttons provided on the central control unit.
  • Suitable sensors are also connected to the central control unit that automatically start the motors in order to close the openable elements, for instance, in case of rain or wind.
  • a first drawback of the system described above lies in that it is quite uncomfortable for a user who works in a given area to open and/or close the individual elements and thus selectively modify the ambient conditions in the area where said openable elements are installed or to intervene on the same due to a change in the external environmental conditions.
  • control buttons are arranged in the central control unit, sometimes the operator is forced to move from one place to another covering great distances, in particular if the systems comprise many openable elements distributed on large areas like, for example, warehouses, production plants, offices of big companies.
  • each central control unit can serve no more than four power supply lines.
  • a further drawback is represented by the high number of cables and wiring lines that make up the system, as a consequence of the fact that each power supply line of each motor must pass through the central control unit.
  • the present invention aims to overcome all the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • a first object of the invention is to carry out a system for opening and closing openable elements installed in buildings that, compared to the known state of the art, enables the number of cables and wiring lines to be reduced with the same number of motors served.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a system that enables each openable element to be opened and closed manually, independently of the others, operating directly in the area where the openable element is installed.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a system where each openable element can be independently opened and closed from a respective control point installed in any remote position with respect to the openable element and with respect to the central control unit.
  • Another, not necessarily last, object is for the system of the invention to retain the opportunity to perform manual and automatic operations of each openable element from the central control unit.
  • the system comprises a plurality of peripheral units, each of which is associated with the motor of an openable element and complete with a programmable logic unit that connects the motor of the openable element to an electric power supply line, to an electric control line coming from the central control unit and to a remote control that can be operated by the user.
  • the system that is the subject of the invention advantageously enables the use of central control units of known type currently available on the market, overcoming, however, the restriction on the number of lines and of the number of motors per line that such a unit can control.
  • the system of the invention is more functional than the known systems, since it allows each openable element to be controlled independently not only from the central control unit, but also from any other point and especially at the level of the point where the openable element is installed.
  • the system of the invention also has the advantage of being easier to install than the systems of known type for powering an equivalent number of motors.
  • Figure 1 The system that is the subject of the invention is illustrated in Figure 1 , where it is indicated as a whole by the numeral 1; it powers and controls electric motors 2 for the opening and closing of openable elements installed in buildings.
  • Figure 1 only shows the motors 2 for operating the openable elements, while the elements themselves are not shown.
  • the system comprises electric lines 3 for powering the motors 2, connected to a main power supply line 4, and electric lines 5 for controlling said motors 2, connected to a single central control unit 6.
  • the latter unit is of known type currently available on the market and is complete with operating means 7, e.g. levers, push buttons, joysticks or other means, available to the user to operate the motors 2.
  • operating means 7 e.g. levers, push buttons, joysticks or other means, available to the user to operate the motors 2.
  • One or more atmospheric sensors 8, i.e. rain and wind detectors, are also provided, which are installed on the outside of the building and connected to the central control unit 6.
  • the system comprises a plurality of peripheral units 10, shown in greater detail in Figure 2 , each of which contains:
  • Each peripheral unit 10 comprises a power supply unit 17 connected between the programmable logic unit 16 and the first port 11, and a relay device 18 connected to the programmable logic unit 16 that connects the second port 12 (and consequently the motor 2) to the first port 11.
  • the power supply unit 17 comprises a transformer 19 with the primary windings 19a connected to the first port 11 and the secondary windings 19b connected to the programmable logic unit 16, with a voltage regulator 20 between the two.
  • the relay device 18 comprises a first relay 18a and a second relay 18b, both connected to the programmable logic unit 16, wherein the first relay 18a is also connected to the first contact 12a of the second port 12, where the first line 2a powering the motor 2 that opens the openable element is connected, while the second relay 18b is connected to the second contact 12b of the second port 12, where the second line 2b powering the motor 2 that closes said openable element is connected.
  • the second port 12 also includes a third contact 12c, which connects the motor 2 to the primary windings 19a of the transformer 19 and to the first port 11 by means of a conductor 21.
  • this is an open/close type of control for operation by a user occupying any position at a distance from the openable element and from the central control unit 6, and accessible to any person operating in the area over which the openable element is located.
  • the fourth port 14 for the connection of the remote control 15 there are a first contact 14a and a second contact 14b that receive the conductors 15a, 15b, respectively for opening and closing the openable element, while a third contact 14c receives the neutral conductor 15c.
  • the programmable logic unit 16 is also of known type and suitable for being programmed so as to control all the functions for opening and closing the openable element according to electric signals coming from the central control unit 6, from the remote control 15 and from the atmospheric sensors 8.
  • the installer can install each peripheral unit 10 in the system 1.
  • the central control unit 6 can be installed in any position in the building, at the installer's discretion, whereas it is preferable to install each peripheral unit 10 in line with the motor 2 for operating each openable element.
  • the remote control 15 can be installed in any position readily accessible to the person(s) operating in the part of the building where the corresponding openable element is located.
  • any person may open or close the openable element by means of the remote control.
  • the power supply lines to the motors of the openable elements do not pass through the central control unit, so the latter does not restrict the transfer of power because its function is only to transfer the control signals coming from the manual actuators or from the atmospheric sensors.
  • the central control unit can nonetheless be used to perform all the manual or automatic operations for opening and closing the openable elements powered by the same line, so the system of the invention still retains all the functions available in the systems carried out according to the known state of the art.
  • the presence of a remote control for each motor and corresponding openable element enables the user to autonomously modify the ambient conditions in the area coinciding with a given openable element.
