Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a device to be installed in a longitudinally developing orientable closing element of, preferably in a slat element, of a pergola or similar installation.
  • the device is configured and intended for the control of external lighting elements and/or other electrical users, to be installed on the installation itself or even in its vicinity.
  • the present invention also concerns an apparatus, to be installed in a longitudinally developing orientable closing element, preferably in a slat element, of a pergola or similar installation, to carry out the rotational movement of the slats and also for the control of external lighting elements and/or other electrical users, to be installed on the installation itself or even in its vicinity.
  • the present invention also concerns a pergola or similar installation wherein, in a longitudinally developing orientable closing element, preferably in a slat element, a device for controlling external lighting elements and/or other electrical users is installed.
  • pergolas are known, which are made up of rigid support structures with mobile slat closures on the upper wall and sometimes also on the side walls.
  • each pergola generally comprises a plurality of parallel, substantially rigid slats, which can be simultaneously oriented around their longitudinal axis and are stackable. More in detail, the slats can be moved both in a translational motion perpendicular to their longitudinal axis, to move from an unfolded or closed condition to a packed or open condition, and in a rotary motion around their longitudinal axis to be oriented according to the screening effect to be achieved with them. In particular, in the latter case, they can be simultaneously oriented for an angular excursion of just under 90°, in order to be able to pass from a substantially coplanar arrangement for interception of light to a substantially parallel arrangement for passage of the light.
  • the orientation movements of the slats are generally obtained with a motor which is generally controlled via direct current, both in speed and in the limit switch positions, by an electronic board that commands the motor to stop when a predetermined value of the current absorbed by the motor itself at the limit switch positions is exceeded, or when a certain count is reached with motors equipped with encoders.
  • the translation of the slats must be allowable only when they are arranged in parallel to each other, while it must be preventable when the slats are differently oriented.
  • both of these motors are installed on the pergola support structure.
  • US2014/175240 describes a drive mechanism for the slats of a canopy which includes a linear actuator, housed within a containment casing, and mounted on the support structure of the canopy.
  • EP2868833 describes a pergola wherein the covering is defined by a plurality of slats and wherein the motor for the translational movement of the slats and the motor for the rotational movement of the slats are both managed by the same control unit and are mounted on the support structure of the pergola. Furthermore, two position sensors are provided which are conveniently mounted on the support structure of the pergola, and are therefore external to the two motors, to respectively detect whether the slats are coplanar (and therefore in a closed condition) and whether the cover is in an open condition (i.e. if the slats are unfolded and spaced apart). These sensors then generate corresponding signals which are sent to the control unit which is appropriately installed inside an upright of the support structure of the pergola.
  • the position sensors must be connected to the control unit, to which the two motors are also connected, and this requires a series of wiring, which may require laborious installation and even more laborious modification interventions, in the not infrequent case wherein the control unit needs to be moved.
  • WO2022/084872 shows a pergola construction comprising a frame wherein transverse elements are positioned, each having a support element for the structural connection to the frame and a slat that can rotate with respect to the support element; the transverse elements are mobile between a closed condition, wherein they are packed, and an open condition wherein they are distributed along the frame.
  • This solution involves the passage of a plurality of cables on the sides of the transversal elements, which requires a laborious installation and, furthermore, involves the use of a plurality of cable guides which are fixed between two successive transversal elements and together form part of a cable guide to guide a cable from the frame to at least one of the transversal elements.
  • the current market need is to equip pergolas with lights which can be used to illuminate the surface beneath the slats and/or to constitute courtesy lights and/or to create lighting effects, in particular RGB effects.
  • this need is satisfied in pergola installations by applying these lights, preferably LED lights, to the support structure of the pergola.
  • all this entails the need to create a lighting system with dedicated components which, together with the lights themselves, must be applicable to the support structure of the pergola.
  • a power supply and control unit for the lights must be provided, which in known solutions is external or inserted inside the uprights and/or crosspieces of the pergola support structure.
  • tubular motors provided with an output for powering the lights and therefore motors wherein the light power supply unit is integrated into the motor itself are also known.
  • this solution presents some limitations given that the lights are powered by low voltage (12 or 24Vdc) and the power that can be supplied from the light output of the motor can only power a small quantity/number of lights.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a control device for lighting elements and/or other electrical users for a pergola or similar installation which eliminates all the drawbacks found in known solutions.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a device with particularly small dimensions.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a device that is simple to install, even by non-specialized personnel,
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a device that is easy to program and manage.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a device that can also be controlled remotely from a smartphone both to control the operation of the control device itself and to verify the correct execution of the commands received.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a device which can be obtained in a simple, rapid and low-cost manner.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose an apparatus for the rotational motion of the slats of a pergola installation and for the control of lighting elements and/or other electrical users which is simple to install, easy to program and manage, as well as realizable simply, quickly and at low cost.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose an apparatus that can also be used in cases wherein the installation of external control units is difficult.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a device or apparatus that is an improvement and/or alternative to traditional ones.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a pergola or similar installation equipped with a control device for the lighting elements which has particularly small dimensions, which is simple and quick to assemble and install, easy to program and manage, as well as realizable simply, quickly and at low cost.
