Abstract
The invention relates to a solar protection installation (1) comprising at least one mobile window blind (2), at least one drive means (3), at least one control unit (4), and at least one wind sensor (5). The wind sensor (5) is used to detect overload caused by the wind on the window blind, by the detection of variations in tension and/or pressure leading to deformations of the window blind. The wind sensor is provided on and/or in the window blind (2).
Claims15
Solar protection installation (1) comprising at least one movable shade cloth (2), at least one drive means (3), at least one control unit (4) and at least one wind sensor (5), characterised in that the sensor, known as the wind overload sensor (5), is a sensor of overload due to the wind on the shade cloth detecting variations in tension and/or in pressure caused by deformations of the shade cloth and in that it is provided on and/or in the shade cloth (2).
Installation according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that it comprises a plurality of wind sensors (5).
Installation according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the wind sensor (5) comprises at least one device (12) for recording and/or processing measurement values.
Installation according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the wind sensor (5) comprises at least one energy supply means (23) and this energy supply means is mechanically flexible.
Installation according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the wind sensor (5) comprises at least one data processing means (24) which is mechanically flexible.
Installation according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the wind sensor (5) comprises at least one data communication means (25) which is mechanically flexible.
Installation according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the wind sensor (5) comprises at least one protection against electrostatic overloads.
Installation according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the shade cloth comprises at least one means for generating, recovering and/or converting energy and in that preferably the wind sensor and the means for generating, recovering and/or converting energy are at least in part common.
Wind sensor intended for a solar protection installation comprising at least one movable shade cloth, at least one drive means and at least one control unit, characterised in that the sensor, known as the wind overload sensor, is a sensor of overload due to the wind on the shade cloth detecting variations in tension and/or in pressure caused by deformations of the shade cloth and in that it is provided to be placed on and/or in the shade cloth of the solar protection installation.
