Abstract

Awning with an awning roller (1, 101), with a motor (2, 102) which is integrated in the awning roller (1, 101), characterized in that a manual auxiliary actuation device (3, 103) is permanently installed on the awning.

Description

The invention relates to an awning with an awning roller and with a motor which is integrated in the awning roller. Compared with awnings in which the engine is not integrated into the awning roller, such awnings have the advantage that they are more compact. Such awnings are already known. For example, the product catalog of the company "Fiamma" from 2010 on page 21 shows a motor kit for mounting in an awning pulley.

A manual actuation of such awnings, for example in the absence of electricity or other malfunction, is associated with known such awnings with considerable effort. For example, it may be necessary to disassemble the engine and replace it with a manually operable transmission.

The invention has set itself the task of creating such an awning without this disadvantage. This object is achieved by the reproduced in claim 1 awning.

The awning according to the invention comprises an awning roller and a motor. The motor is integrated in the awning pulley. A manual auxiliary actuator is firmly installed on the awning. As a result, in the event of a malfunction, it is not only necessary to make a considerable conversion to the awning, but this can be manually operated with less effort.

Preferably, the engine comprises a tubular motor. By this is meant an engine comprising other components, such as gears, such as existing electronic components, such as existing brakes and a tube and at least almost completely disposed in the tube. The tubular motor is preferably (with the exception of the tube) completely arranged in the tube with the exception of outwardly acting force transmission components. The motor is preferably suitable for insertion into a shaft (for example an awning roller) and for driving the same. The tubular motor itself preferably does not include a manual auxiliary actuation device.

Such motors have proven to drive awnings, as they have the advantage, unlike many other constructions, not or not significantly extend the awning.

The tubular motor is preferably inserted into one end of the awning roller, particularly preferably at least almost flush with it. Preferably, its power transmission components are operatively connected to the awning pulley.

In the preferred embodiment, a motor holder is provided, which is preferably flanged to the engine and further preferably has an aligned parallel to the axis of the awning roller, particularly preferably aligned with the axis of the awning roller extension. Preferably, the motor holder is attached or flanged to the tube of the tubular motor. The extension of the extension and flange comprising the motor holder preferably points away from the awning roller. The motor holder is preferably mounted over or through the extension. The extension is preferably non-circular in cross-section, more preferably polygonal. The extension can be made in one piece with the flange.

In the preferred embodiment, a liftable stop is provided, which prevents rotation of the stator of the motor, more preferably the motor holder and most preferably the extension of the motor holder during normal use of the awning. Usual usage means any use that does not use the manual override device. By cancelable is meant that the attack is eliminable.

The stop can be effected in one embodiment with the aid of a stop plate, which preferably has a recess which is complementary to the cross section of the extension and which is preferably penetrated by the extension.

If the stop plate on the awning housing, preferably on a Markisengehäuseendstück releasably secured, more preferably screwed, and this, as particularly preferably with few, for example, two screws is realized, then the stop can be canceled simply by loosening the screws and remove the stop plate ,

In another embodiment, the stop, by means of a stop pin, preferably a stop screw bewirkbar. In this embodiment, preferably not a stop plate, but the stopper screw with the extension of the motor holder acts to effect the stop directly together. Preferably, a stop mounting plate is provided. This preferably has no complementary to the cross section of the extension recess. The lifting of the stop is here preferably only possible by loosening or removing the stop screw, so that the stop suspension is further simplified. It is conceivable that the stopper pin in the embodiment in which it is not designed as a screw, is releasably locked by a pin or the like. It is also conceivable that the stop comprises a displaceable, non-bolt-shaped element, which preferably interacts directly with the extension.

In the preferred embodiment, the manual auxiliary actuation device comprises a winch. The winch is preferably fastened to the awning housing, particularly preferably to the awning housing end piece or to the awning housing end cap.

Preferably, the extension of the motor holder interacts with the winch, preferably it engages through a receptacle of the winch. The winch is preferably located near the awning roller end-side end of the tube of the engine. The extension is preferably arranged rotationally fixed relative to the winch holder in this.

In the particularly preferred embodiment, an auxiliary insert is provided which, if necessary, can be brought into operative connection with the manual auxiliary actuating device, preferably with the winch. The auxiliary insert is preferably not constantly arranged on the awning, but is used only when needed.

Preferably, the motor is electric and the power supply of the motor is separable, preferably in the region of the extension. This creates a prerequisite for a particularly simple and reliable realization of the manual auxiliary operation of the awning.

When the stop is reversed, the motor is preferably rotatable, preferably by means of the manual auxiliary actuation and more preferably the auxiliary insert. It is therefore preferably the complete motor, or stator and rotor and not just the rotor of the motor rotatable. The motor and the motor, the awning roller is preferably rotatable about the motor holder. Surprisingly, it has been found that such use of the engine as a power transmission between the auxiliary insert or motor holder and awning roller is reliable and easy to implement. It has been deviated from the widespread basic principle that the stator of an electric motor always remains stationary, especially when it is connected to the power supply.

Preferably, the tube of the tubular motor has a diameter of only about 35 mm. In this way, the engine can be used in many different awnings.

The engine is preferably part of a retrofittable engine kit.

The invention also includes a motor kit according to claim 14.

As 1 shows, the awning according to the invention is particularly for attachment to a camping vehicle 13 suitable.

Both embodiments shown comprise an awning roller 1 . 101 an awning cloth 14 . 114 , Support 15 . 15 ' , Articulated arms 16 . 16 ' and an awning housing 17 . 117 , At the front edge of the awning cloth 14 . 114 is arranged a front panel, which also serves as a front rail 18 . 118 can be designated.

The awning has an engine in both embodiments 2 . 102 on, as a tubular motor 11 . 111 is executed and largely in a pipe 12 . 112 is arranged. The tubular motor 11 . 111 includes an electric motor and other, not or only schematically illustrated in the drawings elements such as a transmission. The stator of the electric motor is connected to a power supply. The tubular motor 11 . 111 is in one end of the awning pulley 1 . 101 almost flush, with only slight projection L inserted ( 4 ). He has power transmission elements 19 . 119 on that is not completely inside the tube 12 . 112 of the tube motor 11 . 111 are arranged, but in operative connection with the inside of the awning roller 1 . 101 stand.

It is a motor holder 4 . 104 provided, consisting of an extension 5 . 105 and a flange 6 . 106 is formed. The flange 6 . 106 of the motor holder 4 . 104 is on the pipe 12 . 112 of the tube motor 11 . 111 fastened or flanged ( 4 ).

The engine mount 4 . 104 and with it the tube 12 . 112 of the tube motor 11 . 111 and, via the power transmission elements 19 . 119 also the motor-side end of the awning pulley 1 . 101 are exclusively over the extension 5 . 105 of the motor holder 4 . 104 stored.

The extension 5 . 105 of the motor holder 4 . 104 has a non-circular, namely square cross section. Its longitudinal extent is aligned with the axis A of the awning roller 1 . 101 , The tubular motor 11 . 111 For example, via a worm gear or in particular a planetary gear self-locking and / or locking means are provided, for example, electromagnetic disc brakes, which unfold their full braking force, for example, when switching off or failure of the stream. This ensures that that of the articulated arms 16 . 16 ' over the awning cloth 14 . 114 on the awning roll 1 . 101 applied torque at de-energized tubular motor 11 . 111 is not sufficient to the stator relative to the rotor, or the awning roller 1 . 101 opposite the pipe 12 . 112 of the tube motor 11 . 111 to twist. This makes it possible by rotating the entire tubular motor 11 . 111 the awning cloth 14 . 114 manually unroll in case of failure or / and drive out in a controlled manner.

For this purpose, a manual auxiliary actuating device 3 . 103 provided by a winch 8th . 108 is formed. It allows in combination with a relief operation 9 . 109 the manual operation of the awning. The manual auxiliary actuator 3 . 103 is permanently installed on the awning. It remains permanently on the awning. It is not intended for disassembly by the user.

The 1 to 8th show a first embodiment:
A cancelable stop 7 , which prevents rotation of the motor holder, preferably the extension in the usual use of the awning, is in this first embodiment by a stop plate 20 causes, by means of two screws 21 . 21 ' on a tail 22 of the awning housing 17 screwed on. The housing end piece 22 is with the rest awning housing 17 screwed.

In the first exemplary embodiment, the stop plate has a recess which is complementary to the cross section of the extension and which is penetrated by the extension. Extension and stop plate are thus positively connected. In the bolted state prevents the stop plate 20 So a rotation of the extension 5 of the motor holder 4 , After removal of the stop is over the extension 5 the motor holder of the motor holder and with it the tube 12 the tubular motor and its inhibited or locked power transmission elements 19 also the awning role 1 rotatable.

The winds 8th is between the flange in this first embodiment 6 the engine stop 4 and the housing end piece 22 arranged. Between the winds 8th and the housing end piece 22 is a spacer 23 arranged. The winds 8th is by means of screws 24 . 24 ' with the housing end piece 22 screwed.

The extension 5 . 105 of the motor holder 4 . 104 engages in both embodiments, a winch 8b . 108b the winch 8th . 108 , The winch pickup 8b . 108b is complementary to the cross section of the extension 5 . 105 executed. wind recording 8b . 108b and extension 5 . 105 are therefore rotatably connected to each other ( 4 ).

The tubular motor 11 . 111 Both embodiments have an electrical supply, which is in the range of the motor stop 4 . 104 through a plug 26 . 126 is separable. The electric motor of the tubular motor 11 . 111 is operated with 12 V DC.

The winds 8th . 108 in both embodiments, regardless of whether the awning is in the motor or manual mode of operation, transmits at least a substantial proportion of the between the motor-side end of the awning roller 1 . 101 and the housing 17 . 117 acting forces. So it also assumes the function of a Auflagers. In manual mode, ie when the stop is lifted, it is the only support of the awning roller 1 . 101 at this end of the awning role dar.

It is an auxiliary insert in both embodiments 9 . 109 provided, in an intervention 8a . 108a the winch 8th . 108 can be inserted.

The motor 2 . 102 Both embodiments is part of a retrofit engine kits 10 . 110 , The engine kit 10 . 110 ( 3 . 10 ) of both embodiments may include other elements, not shown, such as control devices.

For the auxiliary manual operation of the awning of the first embodiment proceeds as follows: First, the end cap 25 solved. Then the power supply is removed by pulling the plug 26 separated ( 5 ). Subsequently, the stop plate 20 unscrewed ( 6 ). Then the complete tubular motor is 11 and with it the awning roll 1 freely rotatable. For this purpose, the auxiliary operation 9 into the wind 8th inserted and optionally with another rotary tool, for. B. crank, or coupled to the shaft of a screwdriver. The awning can then be pulled in and out manually like a non-motorized awning. For this purpose, it is not necessary to disassemble the engine or the engine kit. After manual operation, the awning can be quickly put back in the motor-actuated output state, such as by re-attaching the stop plate and connecting the connector.

The end cap 25 of the first embodiment may be made of a non-metallic material, such as plastic. It does not have to be bolted to the awning housing.

The 9 to 12 show a second embodiment of an awning according to the invention.

These can, if the engine is not used, operated by hand, in particular closed ( 9 ).

The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment except for a different shape of awning housing 117 , End cap 125 and drop profile 118 in particular by another attachment of the winch 108 and another effect of the attack 107 ,

In the first embodiment, the winch 8th over a spacer 23 with a housing end piece 22 screwed, which in turn with the awning housing 17 is bolted ( 3 ).

In the second embodiment, no housing end piece is present. Also a spacer 23 is missing. The winds 108 is at a winch holder 127 attached, or by screws 121 . 121 ' screwed with this. This has a projection with a bore 131 on. Through this hole 131 is the winch holder by means of the screw 130 that also has the end cap 125 passes through and into a threaded hole 132 of the awning housing engages the end cap 125 and the awning housing attached. The winch holder 127 can also be attached to the end cap, or through the screws 133 with the end cap 125 be bolted ( 10 ).

The stop 107 is in the second embodiment by a stop screw 128 effected. It is a stop mounting plate 120 intended. The stopper mounting plate is on the winch holder 127 fastened or by the screws 121 . 121 ' that the winch holder 127 simultaneously with the winds 108 screw, with the winch holder 127 screwed. The stop mounting plate 120 does not directly cause the stop, but serves to attach the stop screw 128 , which in turn causes the stop directly. The stop screw 128 engages two on the stop mounting plate 120 arranged extensions 134 ( 10a ), one of which is threaded. In normal use of the awning is the stop screw against the extension 105 of the motor holder 104 screwed and thus prevents rotation of the motor holder. This stop 107 can be very fast and comfortable by just loosening the stop screw until it rotates the extension 105 no longer disabled, be repealed. A release of the stop mounting plate is not required.

Also in the second embodiment is after removal of the stop on the extension 105 the motor holder of the motor holder and with him on the inhibited or locked power transmission elements 119 the tubular motor and the awning roller 101 rotatable.

The end cap 125 is made in the second embodiment of metal, in particular aluminum and bolted to the awning housing. It has, unlike the first embodiment not only cover function, but can at least partially the function of the end piece no longer present in this embodiment 22 take over, such as the fixation of the winds 108 ,

For the auxiliary manual operation of the second embodiment of the awning proceed as follows: First, the power supply by removing the plug 126 separated ( 12 ). Subsequently, the stop by loosening the stop screw 128 by means of a turning tool 129 which is an ordinary screwdriver in the embodiment shown, 12 to 16 ). Of course, the stop screw can also be unscrewed completely, like the 15 and 16 demonstrate. Then the complete tubular motor is 111 and with it the awning roll 101 freely rotatable. For this purpose, the auxiliary operation 109 at the intervention 108a the wind in the wind 108 inserted and optionally with another rotary tool, for. B. crank, or coupled to the shaft of a screwdriver. The awning can then be pulled in and out manually like a non-motorized awning. For this purpose, it is not necessary to disassemble the engine or the engine kit. Also the end cap 125 does not have to be solved. It is only to better detect the underlying elements in the 13 to 16 not drawn. After manual operation, the awning can be quickly put back in the motor-actuated output state, such as by tightening or re-screwing the stop screw 128 and connecting the plug connection (plug 126 ).

Compared to the first embodiment, the cancellation of the stop and thus the manual auxiliary operation in the second embodiment is further simplified.

In both embodiments, the tubular motor may be a standard tubular motor that is widely available on the market. As a result, the production cost is reduced.

In order to be able to carry out a manual auxiliary actuating device if necessary, the user only has to save the space-saving stowable auxiliary insert as an additional element 9 . 109 carry.
