Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shading device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Shading devices according to the present invention may generally be designed in the form of sun protection devices such as roller blinds.
  • shutters and the like are included with these shading devices.
  • shading devices can be used for applications such as smoke and heat protection systems.
  • such shading devices have a curtain, which is driven by a drive and can be moved so.
  • the curtain can be moved into a first end position, that is, in this first end position of the curtain is wound on a shaft or the like and is thus in an open position in which it releases a door opening, a window or other building element.
  • the curtain can be extended to a second end position, that is, in this second end position of the curtain is unwound from the shaft or the like and is in a closed position in which it covers a door opening, a window or other building element.
  • an operator wishes to stop the curtain in an intermediate position between the two end positions, he can do so by operating the operating element.
  • the operator waits, in principle, until the curtain is retracted to the desired intermediate position and then stops the drive. Due to the high speed of the blind, however, the correct sighting of the intermediate position is almost impossible for the operator. In particular, it is not possible to approach a certain intermediate position repeatedly reproduced.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a shading device with extended functionality.
  • the shading device comprises a curtain driven by a drive and a control element associated with the drive.
  • the curtain is retractable in a first end position and extendable to a second end position.
  • the curtain can either be moved in a high-speed or slow-speed mode.
  • slow-speed at least one intermediate position of the blind can be taught in by the operating element being actuated when the blind is in the intermediate position.
  • one of the end positions or the taught-in intermediate position with the curtain can be approached by specific actuation of the operating element.
  • the curtain is retracted in each case in high speed in the first and second end position, that is, in its open and closed position.
  • a significant advantage of the invention is that the curtain can not only approach the two end positions, but also targeted and reproducible one or more intermediate positions that have been previously learned in a teach-in. It is essential here that the curtain is moved in a slow motion in the respective teach-in process, wherein the speed of the blind in slow-speed compared to the speed in high-speed is significantly reduced.
  • An operator who monitors the teach-in process can, due to the slow movement of the blind in slow motion, very precisely aim at the intermediate position to be set and then select it by actuating the operating element. After the operator has learned the intermediate position, it can be approached at any time by a renewed, specific actuation of the operating element. The intermediate position is thus specified exactly and can be repeatedly approached with the curtain.
  • a taught intermediate position can be overridden by learning a new intermediate position.
  • Both variants ensure a flexible, user-friendly operation of the shading device according to the invention, since intermediate positions can be equally easily learned and deleted again.
  • the functionality of the shading device according to the invention can be extended by the fact that not only freely selectable intermediate positions between the two end positions but also the end positions can be taught in with the teach-in processes.
  • a further increase in the functionality of the shading device according to the invention is achieved by activating a specific hanging function in a taught-in intermediate position.
  • Is the shading device for example in the form of a sun protection device such.
  • B. a roller blind can be triggered in the intermediate position automatically or by actively pressing the control a blinds of the blind.
  • the shading device is designed, for example, as a screen, then the hanging function can consist in a tensioning of the fabric of the curtain, for example by a latching action.
  • the operating element has a number of keys, wherein an intermediate position can be learned in each case for a key.
  • this key is operated alone or in combination with another key.
  • the taught-in intermediate position is stored for the respective key, so that this intermediate position of the blind can be approached by specific actuation of this key.
  • the designed with a keypad control element has a particularly simple, robust and inexpensive construction.
  • the key operation is easy to carry out for an operator.
  • a display and input unit is provided as the operating element.
  • Such an operating element is particularly suitable for more complex applications when a larger number of intermediate positions are to be taught.
  • control and drive contactless data transmission takes place by transmitting and receiving radio signals.
  • the operating element can thus be used largely independently of the other components of the shading device.
  • the Figures 1 and 2 schematically show the structure of a shading device 1.
  • the shading device 1 may generally be a sun protection device such as a roller blind, a screen or the like.
  • the term shading device 1 also includes units such as shutters and the like.
  • the shading device 1 has a curtain 2, which is up on a shaft 3 and unrolled and so can be extended and retracted.
  • the procedure 2 of the curtain 2 via a drive 4, which consists in a known manner of an electric motor and a control unit for controlling the electric motor.
  • FIG. 1 shows the shading device 1 with extended curtain 2
  • FIG. 2 shows the shading device 1 with retracted curtain 2.
  • retracted curtain 2 this is in an open position, corresponding to a first end position, the in FIG. 2 is defined by the position of the lower edge of the curtain 2 and denoted by E1.
  • extended curtain 2 this is in a closed position, corresponding to a second end position, the in FIG. 1 is defined by the position of the lower edge of the curtain 2 and is denoted by E2.
  • a control element 5 For actuating the shading device 1, in particular for moving the curtain 2, a control element 5 is provided which in FIG. 3 is shown.
  • the operating element 5 has a housing 5a, in which three keys are arranged operably. One key constitutes an up key 6, one key constitutes a down key 7, the third key forms a stop and acknowledge key 8.
  • the communication between the operating element 5 and the drive 4 of the shading device 1 takes place in the present case without contact via a radio link.
  • a radio transmitter 9 is arranged in the control element 5, which sends radio signals to a radio receiver 10 in the drive 4.
  • bidirectional contactless data transmission could also be provided.
  • a wired communication between the control element 5 and drive 4 may be provided.
  • a processor not shown, may be provided which evaluates the key signals of the keys and which controls the radio transmitter 9.
  • the curtain 2 In standard operation, the curtain 2 is moved between an open position and closed position, for which purpose the drive 4 is operated in a high-speed operation. In high-speed, the drive 4 is typically in the upper Operating limit of a speed.
  • the up button 6 For retracting the curtain 2 in the open position, the up button 6 is briefly tapped by an operator.
  • the down button 7 For retracting the blind in the closed position, the down button 7 is briefly tapped by an operator.
  • FIG. 1 are two such intermediate positions with Z1, Z2, which denotes the corresponding positions of the lower edge of the blind marking.
  • the operator performs a teach-in process.
  • the curtain 2 is operated in a slow-speed, that is, the drive 4 is operated at a significantly lower speed than in high-speed.
  • the speed in high-speed is typically a multiple of the speed in slow speed.
  • the teach-in process can be started and performed in two different ways. If the curtain 2 is in its closed position, the teach-in process is triggered by continuous actuation of the up-button 6. The operator keeps the up button 6 pressed during the teaching process and observes the curtain 2 until, for example, the intermediate position Z1 is reached. Since in the teach-in process the curtain 2 is moved in slow motion, the operator can accurately track the travel of the curtain 2 and thus control the intermediate position Z1 accurately. If the intermediate position Z1 is reached, the operator additionally presses the stop and acknowledge button 8. By pressing the stop and acknowledge button 8, the curtain 2 stops in the intermediate position Z1. Stopping the curtain 2 is registered in the control unit. The intermediate position Z1 is then stored in the control unit.
  • the drive 4 or the curtain 2 is preferably associated with a sensor whose signals determine the current hanging position. Preferably, these sensor signals are stored as a measure of the intermediate position Z1 in the control unit.
  • This intermediate position Z1 is stored for the upward key 6.
  • the deposit takes place automatically when learning the intermediate position Z1 by simultaneously pressing the keys up key 6 and stop and acknowledge key 8.
  • a learning process can be started by permanently pressing the down key 7 from the opening position.
  • the curtain 2 then runs in slow speed down.
  • the operator depresses the stop and acknowledge key 8 in addition to the downwards key 7, as a result of which the intermediate position has been learned in the control unit and stored for the downwards key 7.
  • the operator can optionally control one of the end positions or one of the intermediate positions Z1, Z2. If the operator wishes to move the curtain 2 into the opening position, she taps once briefly the button up button 6. If the operator wishes to move the curtain 2 into the closed position, she taps once briefly the button down button 7. The curtain 2 then runs at high speed in the open position or closed position. If the operator wishes to retract the curtain 2 into the intermediate position Z1, then it briefly actuates twice the key for which the intermediate position Z1 is stored, namely the up-button 6. The curtain 2 then runs at high speed into the intermediate position Z1.
  • the operator If the operator wishes to move the curtain 2 into the intermediate position Z2, then it briefly actuates twice the key for which the intermediate position Z2 is stored, namely the down key 7. The curtain 2 then runs at high speed into the intermediate position Z2.
  • a specific key combination is preferably provided. If the operator wishes to delete the intermediate position stored for the up-key 6, it operates the up-key 6 and the stop-and-release key 8 simultaneously. If the operator wishes to put down the intermediate position for the down key 7 delete, press the down button 7 and stop and acknowledge button 8 simultaneously.
  • the deposited for the up-button 6 or down button 7 intermediate position can be deleted by a new training process is started and for the up-button 6 and down button 7, a new intermediate position is learned, so that the previous intermediate position overwritten becomes.
