Solar powered generator

The invention relates to a solar-powered garage door drive, a charging control circuit, a remote control and a drive unit.

Automatic garage door drives powered by a solar power supply are used where a connection to the
public power supply is too expensive or insufficient. The solar power supply must be designed in such a way that the garage door drive will continue to function even during periods of bad weather. Known

Garage door drives with solar power supply have ^more solar cell modules and powerful storage batteries. However, the charging regulation for the storage batteries is complex and
expensive.

G6946

The invention is based on the object of sharpening a cost-effective solar-powered garage door drive, the function of which is still guaranteed after a period of bad weather lasting several weeks.

The stated task is solved by a car door drive of the type mentioned at the beginning according to the invention in that the charging control circuit is followed by a pulse circuit which supplies the receiving part of the remote control with voltage pulses of adjustable duration and frequency.

The mains consumption of an automatic garage door drive arises from the input part of the remote control, as this must be accessible at all times and consumes electricity 24 hours a day. In comparison, the power consumption of the drive motor for the garage door is very low for an average of four opening and closing operations. Due to the pulse circuit connected downstream of the charging control, the input part of the remote control is not supplied with voltage continuously but via a pulse sequence. The duration and frequency of the voltage pulses can be adjusted. ^: .ei /".byabe from Ir.;..ulser. a lue of G, ^r . hour 1".'iCsta.TJ of 4.5 seconds it is ; :;the electric pressure ¹ of the caravan drive is reduced to a quarter compared to a.', lue current drive.

The reduction in the need for electricity for mains power is due to the use of smaller storage batteries, which can also be charged from a ^power source in the event of a power outage. The present invention therefore provides a garage door operator with a power supply that can also bridge long periods of bad weather and is extremely cost-effective to install and operate.

An embodiment of a garage door drive according to the invention is explained below _using the attached drawing. The drawing shows a block diagram of a garage door drive.

A charge control circuit 10 contains two storage accumulators 11 and 12, which can be connected either in series or in parallel via two switches 13 and 14. In normal operation, i.e. when charging the storage accumulators 11 and 12 via a solar cell module 15, the two accumulators 11 and 12 are connected either in series or in parallel, depending on the drive motor.

pn The storage capacitors 11 and 12 can also be charged via a foreign exchange line, such as a ship data cable. 13 and 14 then have the positions marked with dashed lines.

The connection of the storage batteries to the rafting battery is via the cigarette lighter provided in the vessel.

A pulse circuit 17 is arranged downstream of the charging circuit 10, which supplies a control unit via a remote control with voltage pulses, the duration and frequency of which can be adjusted using two potentiometers 11 and 20. The voltage pulses are fed into the receiving part 11 to start a signal from a radio station 21 which is installed in the motor vehicle. The transmitter 21 must be activated until a voltage signal is present at the receiving part 13.

A safety circuit 23 is arranged between the receiving part 1b of the remote control and a drive unit 22 for moving a garage door. The safety circuit 23 is connected to a safety device 24, which can consist of a light barrier, for example. The safety circuit 23 contains a storage capacitor 25, which ensures that the function of the safety circuit 23 is also guaranteed during the pulse pauses of the power supply. The capacitor 25 is expediently dimensioned so that the drive unit
