Safety device for motorized rolling shutter comprising a generator of a signal representing the displacement of the rolling shutter and a logic processing unit (10) capable of working in learning mode and in operating mode for recording and processing signal samples and for comparing the values obtained in operating mode with the values obtained in learning mode in order to control the stopping of the motor (5) of the rolling shutter when there is an obstacle and for providing, if necessary, other functions such as the automatic stopping in the high position and in the low position, or the triggering of an alarm. The generator comprises a pulley on which is wound a flexible element (9) whose other end is connected to the end (8) of the rolling shutter, such that the unrolling of the rolling shutter (1) drives the pulley whose axis is mechanically connected to a signal generator, for example a synchronous motor.
A safety device for a motorized rolling shutter (1) or similar comprising means (7) supplying an electrical signal representing the displacement of the rolling shutter (1) and a logic processing unit (20) capable of working in learning mode and in operating mode, by sampling, and comprising means (29) of storing, in learning mode, value samples corresponding to the signal samples and means (27) of comparing, in operating mode, these stored value samples with value samples obtained in operating mode, and means (20, 25) of controlling a stopping of the motor of the rolling shutter when a difference between the value of the sample obtained in operating mode and the value of the stored sample is greater than a predetermined difference, wherein the means supplying the electrical signal representing the displacement of the rolling shutter comprise a pulley (13) on which is wound a flexible element (9) whose free end is connected to the end of the rolling shutter (1) such that the unrolling of the rolling shutter causes the unrolling of the flexible element, an elastic means (14, 15) ensuring the rewinding of the flexible element on its pulley during the rolling of the rolling shutter and a signal generator (18;
