Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for automatically controlling a home automation device comprising a wind-sensitive screen and a sensor for measuring the intensity of the wind.
  • the invention also relates to a home automation device for implementing this method.
  • a screen When a screen is located outside the building, it is exposed to restrictive operating conditions.
  • the screen may be biased by the wind, which can damage the structure of the screen.
  • it is known to control the ascent of a screen as soon as the intensity of the wind exceeds a determined threshold.
  • a determined threshold Given the security aspect, in the majority of cases, there is a single detection threshold beyond which the screen is completely reassembled.
  • several thresholds are taken into account.
  • the automation moves or allows the displacement of a sunscreen to different positions determined according to the measured wind intensity.
  • the screen can be deployed or partially folded. The structure of the screen is then less stressed because there is less surface of the screen exposed to the wind.
  • the intermediate position of the screen still provides partial sun protection. Indeed, at this position, the screen remains deployed on the upper part of the race of the screen and covers a corresponding projection area. On the other hand, no sun protection can be provided for the zone corresponding to the lower part of the screen stroke.
  • the tension of the deployed screen depends on the weight and / or guidance of its bar charge.
  • the load bar and the screen may beat, especially if the surface of the screen exposed to the wind is large, which generates noise and / or can slightly deteriorate the structure.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method of automatically controlling a home automation screen to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and improving control methods known from the prior art.
  • the invention proposes a method of automatic control allowing a home-automation screen to ensure, in a secure manner, at least partially its function in low wind conditions and to ensure the return to a secure configuration in situations of Strong wind.
  • control method according to the invention is defined by claim 1.
  • the home automation device according to the invention is defined by claim 10.
  • a home automation device controlled according to the control method according to the invention comprises a mobile screen, for example a screen for closing, occultation or sun protection, these screens being generally sensitive to the wind, that is to say susceptible Damage and / or damage to nearby components when deployed in windy conditions.
  • the device also comprises a means for determining, for example measuring, the intensity of the wind, either directly, such as an anemometer, or through its effects on an element of the screen, such as a sensor. effort.
  • the control method according to the invention is particularly suitable for controlling two types of home automation devices, such as motorized blinds illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 to 8 .
  • the first type of home automation device comprises a screen 1 provided with a rollable fabric 11.
  • the fabric 11 is fixed on one side to a winding tube 12 and on the other side to a load bar 13 so as to allow its winding on the winding tube 12 or its unwinding from the tube 12 by means of actuating means, such as for example a motor 14 whose power supply is controlled by an electronic control unit 15.
  • the home automation device also comprises a determination means 16, for example by measuring, the intensity of the wind, such as an anemometer.
  • the home automation device further comprises a locking means 17 of the load bar of the screen, represented here by two "V" -shaped supports arranged laterally on either side of the screen. Other locking means may be envisaged to ensure the immobilization of the load bar at a given position, the representation of the locking means by this type of support being not limiting.
  • FIGS. Figures 3 and 4 illustrate any position of the blind.
  • the wind exerts a force Fv on the whole deployed surface as represented in gray on the figure 1 .
  • This effort causes the lateral beat ML1 and / or vertical MV1 of the screen, as shown in FIG. figure 2 .
  • a solution according to the invention consists in blocking the load bar as is illustrated in FIGS. Figures 3 and 4 .
  • the beats ML'1 and MV'1 of the screen are greatly reduced.
  • one solution consists in causing the fabric to wind up, after blocking of the load bar, until the desired tension is obtained.
  • the locking means are generally arranged close to the bottom end of the screen but they can be located at another intermediate position of the race.
  • the second type of home automation device 2 shown in Figures 5 to 8 , comprises a screen 2a provided with blades 21 orientable.
  • the screen is provided with a lower load bar 23, this load bar being fixed to the ends of cords or laces 27 winding on winding drums 22 driven in rotation by a shaft 28 connected to a motor 24 of which the power supply is controlled by an electronic control unit 25.
  • the maneuvering of the screen is carried out thanks to the cords or laces, passing through the blades 21.
  • the winding of the cords or laces on the winding drums has the effect of raising the load bar and, consequently, stacking the blades one over the other.
  • the screen also comprises blade orientation means (not shown) for adjusting the angular position of the blades about their longitudinal axis, these being parallel to the axis of the load bar.
  • the installation has a determination means 26, for example by measurement, of the intensity of the wind, such as an anemometer.
  • FIGS. Figures 7 and 8 illustrate a position of the awning for which the blades are oriented so as to obtain maximum sun protection.
  • the blades are close to the vertical position, thus providing a large wind catching surface as shown hatched on the figure 5 .
  • Wind then exerts a force Fv on this surface thus causing the lateral beat ML2 and / or vertical MV2 of the screen, as shown in FIG. figure 6 .
  • a solution according to the invention consists in reducing the winding surface by modifying the orientation of the blades as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 7 and 8 where the wind catching area is diminished.
  • the wind can pass through them (F'v) thus reducing the beats ML'2 and MV'2 of the screen.
  • the blocking of the load bar can be provided by means identical to those mentioned above.
  • the two home automation devices described above comprise hardware means 15, 16 and 25, 26 and software for implementing the control method according to the invention.
  • the proposed method uses two predefined wind intensity thresholds, which makes it possible to define three operating intervals.
  • the method triggers a security scenario. This is usually a lift order or complete or substantial fallback of the home automation screen. It is in fact necessary to no longer expose the surface of the screen to the wind. In this case, the force of the wind on even a small surface of the screen may damage its structure.
  • the median operating interval corresponds to a wind intensity between the first and the second threshold.
  • the method according to the invention controls the positioning of the screen in a position at least equal to or more deployed than in its initial position when detecting a light intensity. wind within the median operating range.
  • a protection for example an extended sun protection, which can also cover an area corresponding to the lower part of the screen stroke.
  • the deployment position reached following a determination of the intensity of the wind in the median interval corresponds to the total deployment of the screen, the covered solar protection zone thus being the largest.
  • the wind is strong enough to generate a nuisance causing a flapping of the screen. It can be a noise nuisance or a slight degradation of the structure, by wear. However, the intensity is not important enough to damage the structure. Also, to avoid this nuisance, the screen is configured to stabilize the screen.
  • This stabilization can be performed as explained above by blocking a mobile part of the screen.
  • this blocking may consist in immobilizing the load bar. Blocking means can be enabled or disabled following a specific maneuver of the screen. Once the load bar is immobilized, the fabric can be stretched. In addition to the aesthetic appearance, this tension and immobilization limit the flutter of the screen and the nuisances previously mentioned. In this case, it is possible to associate different voltages of the screen (that is to say of the fabric or cords supporting the blades) at different wind speeds, the tension increasing with the wind speed.
  • the stabilization of the screen can also (alternatively or complementarily) be obtained by decreasing the surface of the screen exposed directly to the wind.
  • This solution is particularly suitable for screens with adjustable blades where it is then possible to orient the blades to facilitate the passage of wind through them. The wind exerts less force on the screen. The screen is therefore more stable because less solicited.
  • a first step 110 the intensity of the wind I M , that is to say for example the value of its speed or the value of the forces it exerts on the screen, is determined for example using measuring means 16 or 26.
  • this intensity I M is compared to a first threshold S 1 previously recorded. If the measured intensity is lower, the process loops on a new determination of the intensity of the wind according to a determined polling rate, in other words, after a delay. Otherwise, we go to a step 130.
  • a third step 130 the intensity I M is compared with a second threshold S 2 previously recorded. If the intensity measured is lower, we go to a fourth step 140. Otherwise, we go to a fifth step 150.
  • the screen is configured to stabilize it. This stabilization can be obtained by one of the solutions described above.
  • the deployment of the screen is either identical or greater than it was in the previous step. In other words, the free end of the screen has either remained motionless or has moved so as to increase the visible surface of the screen.
  • a security scenario is executed. This scenario involves bringing the screen to a position where its structure will be protected from any risk of damage. In the case of intense wind, it is generally a position for which the screen is completely reassembled. It is obvious that if the screen is blocked, the security scenario will start with the unlocking of the screen before moving the screen.
  • Steps 120 and 130 can be reversed.
  • step 140 it can be expected to reset the process to ensure the execution of the security scenario of step 150 in the case where the wind intensity exceeds the second threshold S 2 .
  • step 140 there may be provided a step of activating or deactivating step 140 according to the wish of the user.
  • the screen is not locked in a stabilization position as defined in step 140 if the user does not wish.
  • the user may prefer the sun protection, tilting the blades a little more, compared to the stability of the screen, thus accepting the possible nuisances induced.
  • the user can act on the installation via a control point.
  • the stabilized position corresponding to a tension level of the fabric after blocking of the load bar or corresponding to a blade orientation, can be set by default, by setting the user manually or by learning.
  • the beat can be appreciated by measuring the movements of the load bar when the screen is stopped.
  • the adjustment of the stabilization may correspond to the increase of the tensioning of the fabric or to the angular orientation of the blades.
  • the flapping of the screen can also be measured from the forces exerted on the motor 14.
  • the method of execution of the method has been described when it is applied to a blind with rollable fabric or with adjustable blades. However, it is clear that the method can be applied to any home automation device comprising a wind-sensitive screen and means for stabilizing the screen with respect to the effects of wind.
  • the home automation devices described above comprise, among the hardware and / or software means for implementing the control method according to the invention, a recording means for a first threshold S 1 , means for recording a second threshold S 2 , means for comparing the intensity I M determined at the first and second thresholds, means for controlling the movements of the screen so as to block one of its moving parts and / or blade orientation modification control means and means for executing a predefined security scenario.
  • the software means may comprise computer programs.
