    [0002] This disclosure generally refers to cover sets for architectural opening and, more particularly, the methods and apparatus for controlling cover sets for architectural opening. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0003] Roofs for architectural opening such as roller blinds provide shade and privacy. Such covers typically include a manually operated cable, chain or pull tube or a motorized roller tube connected to the cover fabric, which can be slats or blinds. The fabric can be equipped with a bottom rail and, optionally, run through a pair of opposing vertical frames or band members, one for each side edge of the fabric, such that the fabric rises and falls in a designated path and is not subjected to the movement of, for example, blowing the winding.

    [0024] To lower a cover for a roller type architectural opening such as a curtain with a heavy rail a manual control is provided. In some instances, the architectural opening cover with manual control can also be motorized. In some implementations that include a motor, manual control does not cause the cover to be over synchronized with all components to limit the travel of the cover (for example, mechanical or electronic limit switches). Therefore, in such implementations, manual control operation does not require recalibration or redefinition of the components to limit the course of coverage.
    [0025] The roof components for architectural opening will be referenced in polar coordinates. For example, the axial coordinate is performed along the longitudinal axis of the roof, the radial coordinate runs perpendicular to them and the circumferential coordinate is performed in a circular direction, in a final view of the roof. With the cover in a flat view, "next axial" or "next" means closer to the right side of the figure. On the other hand, "distal axial" or "distal" means farther from the right side of the figure.
    [0026] Figure 1 illustrates an exemplary cover 100 that includes an axis connector 102 and a hand control 104. The axis connector 102 can be a unidirectional slide bearing as described in FIGS. 7 and 8. As will be explained in more detail, hand control 104 allows manual operation of cover 100 by one person (for example, when motorized control is not available or desirable to the person).
    [0027] The example roller blind 100 illustrated includes the unidirectional slide bearing 102, the hand control 104, the motor 106, a gearbox 108, a control plate 110, a roller tube 112, a slip ring connector 114, and a claw / assembly 116. In the illustrated example, engine 106 and hand control 104 are located closest to the side next to cover 100. Alternatively, components of cover 100 could be reversed such that motor 106 and hand control 104 are located closest to the distal side of the cover 100.
    [0028] The example slip ring connector 114 is insertable in a connector for coupling 118 to mount the cover 100 in or adjacent to an architectural opening and to electrically connect the cover 100 to the electrical power. The exemplary slip ring connector 114 includes a frame 120 having primary and secondary edges 121, 122, defining an opening 123 in which an axially extending protrusion 115 of the slip ring connector 114 is inserted when the cover 100 is mounted on or adjacent to the architectural opening. The radial outer surface 127 of the frame 114 receives an inner radial surface of a support 134 of the slip ring connector 114.
    [0029] Arranged within the frame 120 are first contacts 124, 125 and secondary contact 126. The first contacts, 124, 125 in the example shown comprise two metal flanges inclined to form a deformable metal contact. The first contacts, 124, 125 are electrically connected to supply wires 130 that supply electrical power to the coupling connector 118. When the cover 100 is mounted on the coupling connector 118, the first contacts, 124, 125 are on a radial ring 136 of the protrusion extending axially 115. When the cover 100 rotates, the first contacts, 124, 125 maintain an electrical connection with the radial ring 136. When the cover 100 rotates, the first contacts, 124, 125 maintain an electrical connection with the radial ring 136. While two first contacts 124, 125 are included in the illustrated example, any number of contact (s) (for example, 1, 3, 4, etc.) can alternatively be used.
    [0030] The second contact 126 of the example shown comprises a metal flange on which is located a pin 138 which extends beyond the distal end of the protrusion extending axially 115. The second contact 126 is electrically connected to the supply wires 130. While the cover 100 rotates, the second contact 126 maintains the electrical connection with pin 138 to supply electrical power to cover 100.
    [0031] The exemplary frame 120 in Figure 1 is attached to a support 128 that is attached to or adjacent to an architectural opening using a mechanical fastener, such as a screw 132. In the illustrated example, the supply wires 130 pass through the openings (not illustrated) on support 128 and table 130.
    [0032] While an example of a pad connector 118 is disclosed here, what other arrangements can be used. For example, other configurations of slip ring connectors can be used.
    [0033] Returning to the exemplary cover 100, the support 134 is disposed inside, and is fixed to, the roller tube 112. The pin 138 is disposed in a sleeve formed inside the connector. A washer 142 is mounted on pin 138. A spring 140 is seated between the fixed washer 142 and an inner surface of the holder 134. The force of the spring 140 tilts the pin 138 in the distal direction and in engagement with the second contact 126 when the cover 100 is inserted into the coupling sw connector 118.
    [0034] Wires 143 electrically connect pin 138 and radial ring 136, respectively, to control board 110. Therefore, electrical power is supplied to control board 110 when cover 100 is mounted on coupling bracket 118 and power power is supplied to the power wires 130. In other examples, batteries can supply power to the control board 110 and the elements electrically connected by corresponding wires can be arranged. In such examples, the slip ring connector 114 may not include components for electrical connection, but will provide mounting bracket for the roller blind 100.
    [0035] The illustrated control board 110 controls the operation of the cover 100. In particular, the exemplary control board 110 includes a wireless receiver and a torque detection control. The wireless receiver is responsive to the commands of a wireless remote control to direct the operation of the cover 100. The torque detection control operates to stop the motor 106 whenever a torque overload is detected (for example, when the cover 100 is fully rolled up, when the cover 100 is fully unrolled, or when an obstruction prevents the cover 100 from rolling over / unfolding). The illustrated torque detection control includes a winding limit and a winding limit such that the winding limit is greater than the winding limit due to the additional torque encountered when wrapping cover 100. Alternatively, a single limit can be used . The control board 110 may include additional or electronic circuits for the cover 100 such as, for example, a motor controller.
    [0036] Other methods for stopping the motor 106 can be used, for example, a mechanical or electrical limit switch / control (for example, switches / controls disclosed in this document) can be used. Alternatively, a unidirectional slide bearing can be used as described in Figure 2. In some of these examples, no torque detection controls or limiter switches / controls will be used. In some of these examples, the control board 110 includes a timer control to stop the motor 106 after an amount of time sufficient to completely roll up or completely unwind the roller blind 100.
    [0037] The illustrated control board 110 is electrically connected to the motor 106 by means of cables 145. The illustrated motor 106 is an electric motor, having an output shaft. The output shaft of motor 106 is disposed on the nearby side while the radial body (e.g., housing or housing) of motor 106 is disposed on the distal side of motor 106. However, this orientation can be reversed. The radial body of the engine 106 as shown in Figure 1 is fixed attached to a radial housing of the gearbox 108, while the output shaft of the engine 106 is connected to the internal components of the gearbox 108. The radial housing of the gearbox 108 is physically attached to a radial frame 147 using mechanical fixings such as screws, 148, 149. The radial structure 147 is attached to the inner radial surface of the roll tube 112.
    [0038] The gearbox 108 of the example illustrated includes an output shaft 152 which is driven by the output shaft of the engine 106 through the gears of the gearbox 108. The gears of the gearbox provide the appropriate ratio of revolution between the motor shaft 106 and the shaft 152 is attached to the coupling shaft 102, which is connected to a claw / assembly outlet 116. The claw / assembly 116 is coupled with the hand control, 104.
    [0039] The exemplary clamp / assembly 116 of Figure 1 includes hooks 162, 164 that are insertable in the openings, 156, 158 of a support 154. The hooks, 162, 164 allow the cover 100 to be attached to the support 154 by means of the openings, 156, 158. The illustrated example holder 154 is attached to or adjacent to an architectural opening using an electrical mechanical fastener such as a screw 160. The hook and bracket assembly is provided by way of example and other systems for mounting 100 roller blinds can be used.
    [0040] When the engine 106 in the example shown is operated and the hand control 104 is not operated, the assembly / claw 116 maintains the coupling shaft 102, the output shaft of the gearbox 152 of the gearbox 108, and thus , the output shaft of the motor 106 stationary in relation to the support 154. In this sense, the radial body of the motor 106 rotates in relation to the support 154 when the motor 106 is operated. The rotation of the radial body of the engine 106 causes the gearbox 108, the frame 147 and the roller tube 112 to rotate. In that sense, the roll tube 112 will roll up or unroll the cover material when the motor 106 is operated.
    [0041] When the example control 104 illustrated is operated and the engine 106 is not operated, the output shaft of the engine 106 is prevented from turning by an ugly one included in the engine 106. Alternatively, the gearbox 108 may include a brake, or other components can be provided to prevent the output shaft of the motor 106 from rotating in relation to the radial body of the motor 106. The operation of hand control 104 (for example, pulling a loop of continuous wire) causes the claw / assembly 116 transmits rotation on the coupling shaft 102. Rotating the coupling shaft 102 causes the output shaft 152 of the gearbox 108 to rotate. Because the output shaft of the engine 106 is fixed in relation to the radial engine body 106, turning the output shaft 152 of the gearbox 108 causes the radial housing of the gearbox 108 and the radial body of the engine 106 to rotate . The rotation of the radial body of the motor 106 causes the frame 147 and the roller tube 112 to rotate. In that sense, the roll tube 112 will roll up or unroll the cover material when hand control 210 is operated.
    [0042] When manual control 104 and motor 106 are operated simultaneously, their operation is additive. When both hand controls 104 and motor 106 are operated to roll up roller blind 100, roller blind 100 is rolled up at an increased rate. When hand control 104 and motor 106 are operated to unroll roller blind 100, roller blind 100 is unrolled at an increased rate. When hand control 104 and motor 106 are operated in opposite directions, roller blind 100 is more slowly rolled or unrolled depending on the relative movement of hand control 104 and motor 106.
    [0043] Because the exemplary motor uses torque detection to determine when the winding or unwinding limit has been reached, the operation of the manual control 104 does not interfere with the motorized control of the roller blind 100. In other words, according to the example illustrated, calibration or resetting of limit positions is not necessary after manual control operation 104. In implementations where mechanical or electronic limit switches are used in place of torque detection, the limit switch may not need to be calibrated or reset after operating the manual control 104 where the operation of the manual operation control 104 is detected by the limit switches. For example, when a screw (for example, the screw of a mechanical limit switch system is advanced when hand control 104 is operated, the limit switch system does not need to be calibrated after operation by hand control 104.
    [0044] In the example shown in Figure 1, the motor body 106 rotates while the output shaft of motor 106 is stationary. The illustrated motor body 106 includes winding coils (usually called a stator), while the output shaft includes a rod and magnet (s) (commonly known as the rotor). Other types of engines can be used.
    [0045] Figure 2 illustrates an exemplary cover 200 that includes a roll tube 201 containing a grooved hub 202, a unidirectional slide claw 204, a gearbox 206 and a motor 208. As will be explained in more detail, the unidirectional slide claw 204 is a torque-limiting motor coupling that allows cover 200 to be operated without the need for electronic or mechanical limit switches. The cover 200 can be mounted with a manual control 210 that allows for manual winding or unwinding of the cover material (not shown) attached to the roll tube 201. Alternatively, the cover 200 is mounted with a stationary connector 212.
    [0046] Grooved hub 202 includes juices to receive striations from a radial protrusion 214 of the hand control 210 or streaks of a radial protrusion 216 from the stationary connector 212. A distal side of the grooved hub 202 is fixed to the rotation of the unidirectional slide claw 204 by an ear. Therefore, rotation of the grooved hub 202 applies rotational torque to the unidirectional sliding jaw 204.
    [0047] The example unidirectional sliding claw 204 shown includes an adapter shaft to receive an axle 218 from the gearbox 206. The adapter shaft is similar to the adapter shaft 90 described in conjunction with Figure 5. An end close to the housing of the gearbox 206 is attached to a frame 220 which is fixed to an inner surface of the tube of the roll 201. In that sense, when the housing of the gearbox 206 is rotated, the frame 220 causes rotation of the roll tube 201.
    [0048] A distal end of the gearbox housing is attached to an engine housing 208. The example gearbox illustrated includes an adapter shaft for receiving a motor shaft 208. The motor shaft 208 rotates the gearbox gears 206 to, in turn, rotate shaft 218 of gearbox 206 in a rotating manner.
    [0049] The unidirectional sliding claw 204 prevents torque from being applied to the example roll tube 201 shown in the unwinding direction. In addition, the unidirectional sliding claw 204 prevents torque from exceeding a limit to be applied to roll tube 201 in the winding direction.
    [0050] The cover 200 includes wires 208 having a close end attached to a distal end of the motor 208. A distal end of the wires 208 are attached to a slip ring connector 222. The illustrated slip ring connector 222 includes a first contact 224 and a second contact, 226. Slip ring connector 222 receives an adapter 228 having a post 230 that includes a first conductive ring 232 and a second conductive ring 234. Adapter 228 includes wires 236, including one or more plugs 238 The adapter 228 (for example, a conical cover, an end cap, a plug, etc.) can be releasably mounted in a cavity 242 formed by a first edge 244 and a second edge 246 of a support 240. The 240 support can be attached to and or adjacent to an architectural opening. Power wires 248 are connected to an electrical source (for example, a commercial power source) and include one or more receptacle (s) 250 to receive one or more plugs 238. Power wires 248, wires 236, and wires 221 can be replaced by a combination of wires and one or more batteries to provide electrical power for the roller blind 200.
    [0051] When the tube roll 201 is rotated, the slip ring connector 222, including the first contact 224 and the second contact 226 is rotated. The first contact 224 and the second contact 226 are deformable to allow the first contact 224 to remain in contact with the first conductive ring 232 and the second contact 226 to remain in contact with the second conductive ring 234. Adapter 228 remains stationary in the range of 240 when the roll tube 201 is rotated. Alternatively, any other type of slip ring or other type of connection can be used alternatively.
    [0052] The manual control 210 and the stationary connector 212 of the example shown include hooks 252, 254 that are receiving through holes 258, 260 of a support 256 to mount the manual control 210 and / or the stationary connector 212 in and / or adjacent to an architectural opening so that support 256 is protected.
    [0053] The illustrated example hand control 210 includes a crimped chain 262 to drive a pulley 264. Pulley 264 is attached to radial protrusion 214 via a claw. The gripper prevents the radial protrusion from rotating when the pulley 264 is not being rotated by the crimped chain 262. Other types of hand controls, such as a cable and pulley, a worm gear control, etc., can be used. Any type of mechanical or electronic gripper can be used.
    [0054] Turning to the operation of the cover 200, when the motor 208 is operated and the manual control 210 is not operated, the clamp of the manual control 210 stops the radial protrusion 214, the grooved hub 202, the drive shaft of the gearbox 206, 218 and thereby the output shaft of stationary motor 208 in relation to support 256. In this sense, the housing of motor 208 rotates in relation to support 256 when motor 208 is operated. Rotating the motor housing 208 causes the gearbox housing 206, frame 220 and roll tube 201 to rotate. In that sense, the roll tube 201 will wind or unwind covering the material when the motor 208 is operated.
    [0055] When manual control 210 is operated and motor 208 is not operated, the output shaft of motor 208 is prevented from turning by a brake included in motor 208. Alternatively, gearbox 206 may include a brake, or other components can be provided to prevent the output shaft of the motor 208 from rotating in relation to the motor housing 208 when the hand control is operated. The operation of the manual control 210 (for example, pulling the beaded chain 262) causes the pulley 264 to transmit the rotation over the radial protrusion 214. The rotation of the radial protrusion 214 causes the grooved hub 202, the axis 218 of the gearbox 206, and the motor shaft 208 rotate. Because the motor shaft 208 is fixed in relation to the motor housing 208, the rotation of the shaft 218 of the gearbox 206 with which the gearbox housing 206 and the motor housing 208 rotate. Rotating the gearbox housing 206 causes frame 220 and the roll tube to rotate. In that sense, the roll tube 201 will roll up or unroll the cover material when hand control 210 is operated.
    [0056] When manual control 210 and motor 208 are operated simultaneously, their operation is additive. When both hand control 210 and motor 208 are operated to wrap the cover 200, the material around the roll tube 201 is wound at an increased rate. When hand control 210 and motor 208 are operated to unroll cover 200, the material around roll tube 201 is unrolled at an increased rate. When hand control 210 and motor 208 are operated in opposite directions, cover 200 is rolled up or unwound more slowly.
    [0057] In the example of Figure 2, the motor housing 208 rotates while the motor shaft 208 is stationary. The motor housing 208 of the example shown includes winding coils (usually called a stator), while the output shaft includes a rod and magnet (s) (commonly known as the rotor). Other types of engines can be used.
    [0058] Flowcharts representative of the readable instructions of the exemplary machine for implementing a controller of, for example, control board 120 of FIG. 1, the control board 1900 of FIG. 19, or any other controller is shown in FIGS. 3 - 6. In these examples, the machine-readable instructions comprise a program for execution by a processing system, such as the 2200 processing system discussed in connection with FIG. 22. The program can be incorporated into software stored on a tangible computer-readable medium such as a CD-ROM, floppy disk, a hard disk drive, a digital versatile disk (DVD), a Blu-ray disk or a memory associated with the 2212 processor, but the entire program and / or its parts, alternatively, could be run by a device other than the 2212 processor hardware and / or embedded in the firmware or dedicated. In addition, although the example program is described with reference to the flowcharts illustrated in FIGS. 3-6, many other methods of implementing a controller can alternatively be used. For example, the execution order of the blocks can be changed and / or some of the described blocks can be changed, eliminated, or combined.
    [0059] As mentioned above, the example processes of FIGS. 3-6 can be implemented using coded instructions (for example, computer-readable instructions) stored in a tangible computer-readable medium such as a hard disk drive, flash memory, a read-only memory (ROM), a compact disc (CD) ), a versatile digital disc (DVD), a cache, a ramdomic access memory (RAM) and / or any other storage medium in which information is stored for any duration (for example, for prolonged periods of time, permanently, brief instances, for buffering temporarily and / or for caching information). As used in this document, the term tangible computer-readable medium is expressly defined to include any type of computer-readable storage and to eliminate the spread of signals. In addition or, alternatively, the process example of FIGS. 3-6 can be implemented using coded instructions (for example, computer-readable instructions) stored in a tangible computer-readable medium such as a hard disk drive, flash memory, a read-only memory (ROM), a compact disc (CD) ), a versatile digital disc (DVD), a cache, a ramdomic access memory (RAM) and / or any other storage medium in which information is stored for any duration (for example, for prolonged periods of time, permanently, brief instances, for buffering temporarily and / or for caching information). As used in this document, the term tangible computer-readable medium is expressly defined to include any type of computer-readable storage and to eliminate signs of spread. As used here, when the phrase "at least" is used as the transition term in a preamble to a claim, it is open ended in the same way as the term "comprising" ended is opened. Thus, a claim using "at least" as the transitional term in its preamble may include elements in addition to those expressly recited in the application.
    [0060] Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating the exemplary method for controlling the operation of an architectural opening cover type roller. The exemplary method of Figure 3 is described in conjunction with coverage 100 of Figure 1. However, the example method can be used with any other coverage (for example, coverage 200 of Figure 2).
    [0061] The example instructions in Figure 3 begin when the control board 110 receives an instruction to wind the roll tube 112 (block 302). For example, the control board 110 can receive an instruction from a wireless remote control via a wireless receiver included in the control panel 110, a wired remote control, a button on a control panel, etc. In response to the instruction, the control board 110 operates the motor 106, in a winding direction (for example, to lift cover material connected to the roll tube 112) (block 304). As previously described, the claw / assembly 116 prevents the rotation of the engine output shaft 106. Consequently, the radial body of the engine 106, the radial housing of the gearbox 108, the frame 147 and the roller tube 112 are rotated. . Control board 110 determines whether the motor torque exceeds a winding torque limit (block 306). For example, when the cover 100 is rolled to its upper limit, a lower bar or weight attached to the cover material will reach a cover frame 100 and prevent the roll tube 100 from rotating around which the cover material is wrapped. . This shutdown will cause the motor torque to increase beyond a limit. The threshold can be selected such that normal winding (for example, when the obstruction is not present) does not exceed the torque limit, but curling against a frame or obstruction will cause the limit to be exceeded.
    [0062] If the winding torque limit has not been exceeded (block 306), motor 106 continues to operate until the limit is exceeded. If the winding torque limit (block 306) is exceeded, the motor is stopped (block 308). For example, when cover 100 is fully rolled up or an obstruction, preventing winding is encountered, motor 100 will be stopped. The method in Figure 3 then ends until a new instruction is received on the control panel 110.
    [0063] The example instructions in Figure 4 begin when the control board 110 receives an instruction to unroll the tube from the roll 112 (block 402). In response to the instruction, the control board 110 operates the motor 106, in an unwinding direction (for example, to decrease cover material attached to the roll tube 112) (block 404). As previously described, the claw / assembly 116 prevents the rotation of the engine output shaft 106. Consequently, the radial body of the engine 106, the radial housing of the gearbox 108, the frame 147 and the roller tube 112 are rotated. . Control board 110 determines whether the motor torque exceeds an unwinding torque limit (block 406). For example, when the cover 100 is unrolled to its lowest limit, the cover material can begin to wind up on the roll (for example, lifting the cover material). This winding will increase the motor torque (for example, to levels similar to the levels found when operating the cover winding at 100). Thus, the limit can be selected so that the normal unwinding does not exceed the torque limit, but the winding cover material (for example, after fully unwinding the covering material) will cause the threshold to be passed. According to the illustrated example, the winding limit exceeds the winding limit so that end-of-winding material can be detected.
    [0064] If the winding torque limit has not been exceeded (block 406), motor 106 continues to operate until the limit is exceeded. If the unwinding torque limit (block 406) is exceeded, the motor is stopped (block 408). For example, when the cover 100 is completely unrolled and starts to roll, the motor 100 will be stopped. The method in Figure 4 then ends until a new instruction is received on the control panel 110.
    [0065] Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating exemplary instructions for controlling the operation of an architectural opening cover type roller. The exemplary method of Figure 5 is described in conjunction with cover 200 of Figure 2. However, the example method can be used with any other cover (for example, cover 100 in Figure 1).
    [0066] The example in Figure 5 begins when a controller (for example, a controller on controller board 110 in FIG. 1 receives an instruction to wind roll tube 201 (block 502). For example, the control board can receive an instruction from a wireless remote control via a wireless receiver included in the controller, a wired remote control, a button on a control panel, etc. In response to the instruction, the controller starts a timer (block 504) For example, the timer can be set to a duration that is long enough for the cover 200 to be rolled from its lowest position to its highest position. The timer may, in addition, include additional time to account for short delays in the winding (for example, a short time during which cover 200 is obstructed). Then, the controller operates motor 208 in a winding direction (for example, to lift cover material attached to the roll tube 201) (block 506). As previously described, a clamp of the control manual 210 or the stationary connector 212 prevents rotation of the motor shaft 208. Consequently, the motor housing 208, the gearbox housing 206, the frame 220 and the roller tube 201 are rotated.
    [0067] The controller then determines whether the winding timer has expired (ie, the winding time limit has been reached) (block 508). For example, cover 200 may have been rolled from its lowest position to its highest position. Alternatively, the cover 200 may have been rolled from an intermediate position to its uppermost position. In such an operation, the motor 208 would continue to run when the cover 200 reaches its top position cover while the unidirectional sliding claw 204 has slid to prevent excessive torque from being applied to the roll tube 201 until the timer has expired. In another example, the cover 200 may encounter an obstacle that prevents full coverage of the cover material. In such an operation, the motor 208 would continue to run while the unidirectional slide claw 204 slid to prevent excessive torque from being applied to the roll tube 201 until the timer has expired.
    [0068] If the winding timer has not expired (block 508), motor 208 continues to run until the timer expires. If the winding timer has expired (block 508), the motor is stopped (block 510). The method in Figure 5 then ends until a new instruction is received at the controller.
    [0069] Figure 6 is a flowchart illustrating exemplary instructions for controlling the operation of a roller type architectural opening cover. The example in Figure 6 is described in conjunction with cover 200 in Figure 2. However, the example method can be used with any other cover (for example, cover 100 in Figure 1).
    [0070] The example in Figure 6 begins when a controller (not shown) receives an instruction to unroll the tube from roll 201 (block 602). For example, the control board can receive an instruction from a wireless remote control via a wireless receiver included in the controller, a wired remote control, a button on a control panel, etc. In response to the instruction, the controller starts a timer (block 604). For example, the timer can be set to a duration that is long enough for the cover 200 to be rolled out from its uppermost position to its lowermost position. The timer may, in addition, include an additional time to account for short delays in unwinding (for example, a short period of time during which cover 200 is obstructed). The controller then operates motor 208 in an unwinding direction (for example, to lower cover material attached to roll tube 201) (block 606). As previously described, a clamp in the control manual 210 or the stationary connector 212 prevents rotation of the motor shaft 208. In this sense, the motor housing 208, the gearbox housing 206, the frame 220 and the roller tube 201 they are rotated because the motor 208 no longer opposes the unfolding of the cover 200 (for example, where a weight attached to the cover material 200 creates a torque to pull the cover material).
    [0071] The controller then determines whether the unwinding timer has expired (ie, the unwinding time limit has been reached) (block 608). For example, cover 200 may have been rolled out from its uppermost position to its lowermost position. Alternatively, cover 200 may have been rolled out from an intermediate position to its lowest position. In such an operation, the motor 208 would continue to run when the cover 200 reaches its lowest position while the unidirectional slide claw 204 slid to prevent excessive torque from being applied to the roll tube 201 until the timer has expired. In another example, cover 200 may encounter an obstacle that prevents the cover material from unfolding completely. In such an operation, the motor 208 would continue to run while the unidirectional slide claw 204 slid to prevent excessive torque from being applied to the roll tube 201 until the timer has expired.
    [0072] If the unwinding timer has not expired (block 608), motor 208 continues to run until the timer expires. If the unwind timer has expired (block 608), the motor is stopped (block 610). The method in Figure 6 then ends until a new instruction is received at the controller.
    [0073] Figure 7 illustrates an exemplary torque-limiting motor coupling 68 that prevents a motor from applying torque to a roller tube 38 in an unwinding direction. The example configuration in Figure 7 includes, for example, a motor output shaft coupling 70 positioned on a motor shaft (unmarked). A roller tube 38 is illustrated as an outer diameter of the system, which is connected to the fabric 74 and, in turn, to the weighted rail 76. A strip of 78 is also illustrated which guides the fabric 74 during the winding operations and unwinding.
    [0074] The motor output shaft coupling 70 functions as a ratchet crank, where ratchet gear teeth 80 are part of the inner diameter 36 of the tube roller 38 and are attached to them by an additional adapter (not shown). A latch 82 is connected to the output shaft coupling of the motor 70 by a pivot 84 and a compression spring 86.
    [0075] While the motor shaft is unrolling the fabric of 74, the tongue of 82, locked against the gear teeth 80, prevents an uncontrolled unwinding that could otherwise occur from the weight of the lower rail 76. From likewise, when the motor shaft stops rolling or winding in the lifting direction, the motor coupling output shaft 70, with the latch 82 locked against the gear teeth 80, allows the roller tube 38 to be rolled up in order to raise the lower rail 76 and retract the fabric 74 over the roller tube 38. In other words, the torque applied by this motor configuration, either during a winding or unwinding operation, is in the winding direction.
    [0076] As it unwinds, the roll tube should become clogged, for example, due to debris, the motor shaft 38 would still turn. However, tongue 82 and gear 80, slipping in relation to each other, would be unable to apply torque in the direction of unwinding.
    [0077] If an obstruction is in the range, a similar result is achieved. When the rail 76 comes to rest on the obstruction, and the fabric 74 has closed in lane 78, the motor shaft 38 would still turn. However, tongue 82 and gear 80, slipping in relation to each other, would be unable to apply torque in the direction of unwinding. Without applying torque in the direction of unwinding, the fabric, with its weight supported by the obstruction, will not continue to unwind from the roll tube 38.
    [0078] Figure 8 illustrates an example of implementing a torque limiting motor coupling 88, which will now be discussed. As with torque limiting coupling motor 68, torque limiting coupling motor 88 is unable to apply torque in the direction of unwinding. In addition, the torque limiting motor coupling 88 also slides against a roll tube after being subjected to the opposite torque at a limit level in a winding direction.
    [0079] The coupling motor 88 includes an adapter shaft 90, which is a cylinder with a key, adapted to fit outside the distal end of a motor shaft. Around the adapter axis 90, centered between the near opposite end 91 and the distal end, 93 of the adapter axis 90, is a unidirectional bearing 92.
    [0080] Functionally, the unidirectional bearing 92 is analogous to the ratchet-tongue configuration of the torque-limiting motor coupling 68. That is, due to the unidirectional bearing of the external bearing travel in relation to the adapter shaft 90, an attached motor is unable to apply torque in the direction of unwinding. The difference between the torque-limiting motor coupling 88 and the ratchet-tongue configuration 68, for example, the bearing is quieter than a ratchet-tongue configuration. In addition, the torque-limiting motor coupling 88 does not require a pivot tongue 82 and neither does it require a mating gear structure 80 in the roller tube 38.
    [0081] In the outer stroke 94 of the bearing 92, a sliding claw 96 is provided. The sliding claw 96 is designed to slide against the bearing 92. A spring 800 holds the sliding claw 96 in place, on its radial outer surface 98. The selection of the spring 800 (for example, the spring force of the spring) sets the torque limit required to slide the slide claw 96 against the bearing 92. The slide claw 96 is not illustrated in Figure 7; however, it can be integrated into that configuration as well.
    [0082] In the example torque-limiting motor coupling 88, for example, Figure 8, the bearing 92, the slide jaw and the spring 800 are axially centered in relation to each other and have substantially the same axial dimension. The example shaft 90 is more than the bearing 92, the slide claw 96 and the spring 800. Among other things, this provides the close end 91 and the distal shaft end of shaft 93 with a small amount to space the material 92, the sliding gripper and the spring 800 of the axial base of the adapter shaft 90.
    [0083] The axial buffer zone on both sides of the torque limiting motor coupling 88 allows to invert the torque limiting motor coupling 88 depending on whether a motor is placed on the left or right hand inside a roller tube, due to, for example, example, the location of the available wiring. Inverting the torque-limiting motor coupling 88 is achieved by sliding the adapter shaft 90 off a drive shaft and reinstalling the adapter shaft 90 so that the distal end 93 of the adapter shaft 90, instead of the proximal end 91, faces a distal end of an engine running.
    An exemplary cavity 802 is defined between opposites, circumferentially spaced edges 804, 806 of sliding jaw 96 and edges 808, 810 of spring 800, yielding sliding jaw 96 and spring 800 shaped in "C". Specifically, a base 812 of the cavity 802 is the outer stroke 94 of the bearing 92. A first side 814 of the cavity 802 is defined by aligned edges 804, 808, of the slide claw 96 and the spring of 800. A second side 816 of the cavity 802 it is defined by aligned edges 806, 810 of the sliding jaw and spring 800.
    [0085] The exemplary cavity 802 can be coupled with a tenon manufactured in a modified crown coupling. A spike has a radial inner surface that does not reach the bearing 92. The spike moves circumferentially between opposite sides 814, 816 of the cavity 802, such that one of the spike surfaces presses against one of the respective sides 814, 816 of the cavity 802, for example. whereby the shank rotates with the slide claw 96. Thus, the modified crown coupling is able to rotate with an attached driving shaft.
    [0086] Depending on the direction the spring moves in cavity 802, bearing 92 will roll or lock. If locked, the sliding claw will slide when the threshold torque is applied. Likewise, if a cover is obstructed during a winding operation, the slide claw 96 shuts off when the motor torque reaches a limit. Then, the motor shaft rotates, without turning the roller tube 38 while the torque above this limit is maintained, avoiding overloading the motor or the cover fabric.
    [0087] The sliding claw 96 must be selected so that the sliding occurs at a torque greater than that necessary to wrap the fabric. On the other hand, the setting must be selected so that the slip occurs at a lower torque than is necessary to force the engine.
    [0088] As an alternative to the slide claw 96, an engine can be equipped with an overload system, including one or more sensors. For example, a sensor-based mechanical torque and / or a sensor-based electrical current (eg, amperage) (not shown) can be used. This type of system would shutdown the motor 18 after mechanically detecting the torque that exceeds a limit and / or detecting a current that exceeds a limit.
    [0089] FIG. 9 is an isometric illustration of a roof assembly for exemplary architectural opening 900. In the example of FIG. 9, the cover assembly 900 includes a main rail 908. The main rail 908 is a housing having opposite end tips 910, 911, joined by the freight 912, 913 and upper sides 914 to form an open lower cabinet. The main rail 908 also has assemblies 915 for coupling the main rail 908 to a structure above an architectural opening, such as a wall, through mechanical fastening systems, such as screws, screws, etc. The headrail 908 also has mounts 915 for coupling the headrail 908 to a structure above an architectural opening, such as a wall, A roll tube 904 disposed between the end tips 910, 911. Although a specific example of a main rail 908 is shown in FIG. 9, many different types and styles of main rail exist and can be used to replace the exemplary main rail 908 of FIG. 9. In fact, if the aesthetic effect of the main rail 908 is not desired, it can be eliminated in favor of mounting brackets.
    [0090] In the example illustrated in FIG. 9, set 900 includes a cover 906, which is a cellular type of shade. In this example, cell coverage 906 includes a flexible unitary fabric (referred to herein as a "bottom panel") 916 and a plurality of cell sheets 918 that are secured to the bottom 916 to form a series of cells. Cell sheets 918 can be attached to the bottom 916 using any desired attachment approach such as adhesive attachment, ultrasonic welding, weaving, sewing, etc. The cover 906 shown in FIG. 9 can be replaced by any other type of cover, including, for example, single leaf shadows, curtains, or other cellular covers. In the illustrated example, the cover 906 has an upper edge mounted to the roll tube 904 and a lower, free edge. The upper edge of the example cover 906 is coupled to the roll tube 904 by means of a chemical fastening element (for example, glue) and / or one or more mechanical fastening systems (for example, rivets, tape, clamps, tacks, etc.). The cover 906 is movable between an elevated and a lower position (illustratively, the position shown in FIG. 9). When in an elevated position, the cover 906 is wound onto the roll tube 904.
    [0091], as discussed in detail below, the example architectural opening cover assembly 900 is provided with a motor powered to move cover 906 between the raised and lowered positions. The energized motor is controlled by a local controller, and a local controller in communication with a central controller, or just a central controller. In the illustrated example, the motor and the local controller are arranged inside the tube, 904. The example set 900 of fig. 9 It also includes a hand controller 920 that can be used to manually replace the commands provided by the central controller and / or the local controller and / or can be used to move the cover 906 between the raised and lowered positions.
    [0092] FIG. 10 illustrates the roll tube 904 of set 900 coupled to hand controller 920. In the illustrated example, hand controller 920 includes a cable 1000. In some cases, cable 1000 can be a chain, a bead chain, a swivel rod, a crank, a lever, or any other suitable material. As described in more detail below, when cable 1000 is pulled (for example, pulled hard enough), hand controller 920 rotates tube 904, allowing a user to selectively increase or decrease coverage 906 through hand controller 920.
    [0093] FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the exemplary hand controller of FIG. 9 with tube 904 removed. In the illustrated example, the main rail 908 is also removed. The exemplary hand controller 920 is coupled to one of the 915 assemblies. The hand controller 920 includes a male connector 1100, which includes a plate 1102 and an axis 1104 extending from the plate 1102. On the example axis of FIG. 11 includes a plurality of splines 1106. As described in more detail below, the axis 1104 of the male connector 1100 is coupled to a claw assembly disposed within the tube, 904.
    [0094] FIG. 12 is a side view of the exemplary male connector 1100 of FIG. 11. The example male connector 1100 includes a first arm 1200 and a second arm 1202, each of which extends from plate 1102 on hand controller 920. As described in more detail below, the hand controller example 920 of FIG. 11 restricts the movement of the male connector 1100 unless cable 1000 is moving.
    [0095] FIG. 13 is an exploded view of the exemplary hand controller 920 of FIG. 11. In the illustrated example, hand controller 920 includes a housing 1300 defining an annular ridge 1302, which includes a plurality of grooves 1304. A ring 1306 defining that a plurality of splines 1308 is deposited in the space defined by the annular ridge 1302. The grooves 1304 of the summit 1302 receive the splines 1308 of the ring 1306 to substantially prevent the rotation of the ring 1306 during operation 6-the manual programmer 920. A rolled-up girl is arranged 1310 adjacent to an inner surface 512 of the ring 1306 and oriented substantially concentric to the ring 1306 In the illustrated example, the coiled spring 1310 is stretched such that the outer surface 514 of coiled spring 1310 surrounds the inner surface 512 of ring 1306. The coiled spring 1310 includes a first spike 1316 and a second spike 1318. Housing 1300 defines a shaft 1320 to receive a bearing 1322 on which the coiled spring 1310, a sprocket 1324 and the male connector 1100 are supported. The exemplary sprocket 1324 of FIG 13 is operatively coupled to the cable 1000.
    [0096] The exemplary sprocket 1324 includes a first wing or arm 1326 and a second wing or arm 1328, each of which extends towards the housing 1300 in the orientation of FIG. 13. The arms 1200, 1202 (shown in FIG. 12) of the male connector 1100 and the arms 1326, 1328 of the sprocket 1324 are arranged adjacent to the tangs 1316, 1318 of the coiled spring 1310. A socket 1329 (for example, a plug ) operatively couples the male connector 1100 to the housing 1300, and a spring loaded display 1330 (for example, a spring and a rivet) couples housing 1300 to one of the mounts 915.
    [0097] A first cable guide plate 1332 and a second cable guide plate 1334 are coupled to the example housing 1300 through a cover 1336, define a first channel 1338 and a second channel 1340. In the example shown, the first portion of cable 1000 is disposed on first channel 1338, and a second part of cable 1000 is disposed on second channel 1340. The example of first and second channels 1338, 1340 defines first and second paths, respectively, for cable 1000 to prevent the cable 1000 disengagement of sprocket 1324 during operation (for example, when a user pulls cord 1000). In the illustrated example, a pair of mechanical fastening systems 1342, 1344 couple the cover 1336, the first wire guide plate 1332 and the second wire guide plate 1334 to the housing of the 1300.
    [0098] When hand controller 920 is operated via cable 1000 (for example, pulling cable 1000 with sufficient force), cable 1000 applies torque to the sprocket 1324. As a result, one of the arms 1326, 1328 of the sprocket 1324 attaches to one of the ears 1316, 1318 of the coiled spring 1310, causing the coiled spring 1310 to tighten. When you tighten the coiled spring 1310, the diameter of the coiled spring 1310 decreases, and the coiled spring 1310 decouples from the inner surface 512 of the ring 1306. As a result, coiled spring 1310 and thus the sprocket wheel 1324 can be rotated by the cable 1000. activation. When the coiled spring 1310 rotates, on one of the ears 1316, 1318 surrounds one of the arms 1200, 1202 of the male connector 1100, thereby rotating the male connector 1100. As described in more detail below, the male connector 1100 is operatively coupled to the pipe. roll 904. Thus, the user can selectively increase or decrease the sample coverage 906 by the 1000 activation cable.
    [0099] on the other hand, if the torque is applied to the male connector 1100 through the axis 1104, one of the arms 1200, 1202 of the male connector 1100 engages in one of the ears 1316, 1318 of the coiled spring 1310, causing the coiled spring 1310 to loosen and thus the diameter of the wrap spring 1310 to increase. As a result, the outer surface 514 of the coiled spring 1310 firmly engages the inner surface 512 of the ring 1306. When the coiled spring 1310 engages the ring 1306 with sufficient strength, the coiled spring 1310 is kept substantially stationary by interconnecting the ring 1306 to the housing 1300, substantially improving, preventing the male connector 1100 from rotating. Therefore, although a user can rotate the male connector 1100 by driving the cable 1000, the male connector 1100 is substantially prevented from turning through torque (for example, applied by a torque motor) applied to the 1104 axis of the male connector 1100.
    [0100] FIG. 14 is a perspective view of an exemplary grapple assembly 1400 and exemplary motor 1402 of the architectural opening cover assembly 900 of FIG. 9. Gripper assembly 1400 of FIG. 14 and example motor 1402 are disposed within the roll tube 904. Exemplary jaw assembly 1400 includes a frame or frame 1404. In the illustrated example, frame 1404 is substantially cylindrical and defines one or more grooves or channels 1406, 1408 to receive one or more ridges or protuberances, 1500, 1502 (FIG. 15) of tube 904. The exemplary gripper assembly 1400 is operatively coupled to the hand controller example 920 of FIG. 11 via a female connector or coupling 1410, which receives the male connector 1100 from the handheld controller 920. In the illustrated example, the female connector 1410 includes grooves or splines 1418 to enclose the splines 1106 of the male connector 1100. As described in more detail below, when cover 906 is raised or lowered under the influence of motor 1402, male connector 1100 of hand controller 920 holds female connector 1410 of example claw assembly 1400 substantially stationary to cause motor 1402 to rotate with frame 1404.
    [0101] FIG. 15 is a perspective view of tube 904 as an example of the architectural opening cover assembly 900 of FIG. 9. In the illustrated example, tube 904 defines a first ridge or protrusion 1500 and a second ridge or protrusion 1502. The first and second protrusions 1500, 1502 extend radially and inwardly (for example, towards an axis of rotation of the tube 904). When the claw assembly, exemplary 1400 of FIG. 14 is disposed inside the sample tube 904, the protuberances, 1500, 1502 of the tube 904 are arranged in the slots 1406, 1408 of the frame 1404. During the operation of the set 900, the motor 1402 and / or the hand controller 920 applies torque to frame 1404 of jaw assembly 1400. As a result, the torque applied to frame 1404 is transferred to the protrusions, 1500, 1502 of tube 904 through the slots, 1406, 1408 of frame 1404, thus causing tube 904 to rotate with the table 1404.
    [0102] FIGS. 16-18 are cross-sectional views of the exemplary grapple assembly 1400 and of the exemplary motor 1402 of FIG. 14. The exemplary jaw assembly 1400 includes a first jaw 1600 and a second jaw 1602. The first jaw 1600 of FIG. 16 includes the female connector 1410 and a drive shaft 1604. The example female connector 1410 is operatively coupled to a first end of the drive shaft 1604. The first exemplary jaw 1604 of FIG. 16 includes a 1607 necklace.
    [0103] FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 17A-17A of FIG. 16. In the illustrated example, the first claw 1600 provides a deadband (ie, a lost motion path) between the female connector 1410 and the drive shaft 1604. In the illustrated example, the female connector 1410 includes a first groove or tooth 1700 and a second spline or tooth 1702. In the illustrated example, the first and second teeth 1700, 1702 are arranged approximately 180 degrees apart (for example, the first and second teeth 1700, 1702 are arranged over a diameter of the female connector 1410) along a circumferential surface of the female connector 1410 radial and adjacent to the first end 806 of the driveshaft 1604. The collar 1607 of the example driveshaft 1604 is adjacent to teeth 1700, 1702 the female connectors 1410 and the first and second teeth 1704, 1706 extend from the first collar 1607 substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the drive shaft 1604. In the illustrated example, the first and second teeth s 1704, 1706 are about 180 degrees apart (for example, along a diameter of the first collar, 1607). During operation, when the tube 904 is rotating under the influence 1402 the motor, the teeth 1700, 1702 of the female connector 1410 engage the teeth, 1704, 1706 of the first collar 1607 of the drive shaft 1604. As described in more detail below, when the cover 906 is completely unrolled under the influence of the motor 1402, the tooth 1702 separates the tooth 1706 and the motor 1402 drives the drive shaft 1604 through at least a part of the deadband. As a result, the drive shaft 1604 rotates with respect to the female connector 1410; and the tube 904 to rotate. As described in more detail in this document, the rotation termination of tube 904 is detected to identify the fully unwound position.
    [0104] a part of the example transmission shaft 1604 is supported by a bearing 1608 (for example, a dry bearing). In the illustrated example, bearing 1608 is defined by frame 1404. A second end 1610 of driveshaft 1604 is coupled to a coupling 1612 of second jaw 1602 (e.g., a clamping jaw). Thus, in the illustrated example, the first claw 1600 operatively couples the hand controller 920 to the second claw 1602. In some examples, the hand controller 920 and / or the first claw 1600 includes a gearbox (for example, a planetary gearhead) to increase the output torque of the 920 hand controller.
    [0105] In the illustrated example, coupling 1612 includes a first hole 1614 and a second hole 1616 opposite the first hole 1614. The example first hole 1614 receives second end 1610 from the drive shaft 1604. The second example hole 1616 receives a shaft drive motor 1618 and a core 1620 of frame 1404. In the illustrated example, core 1620 of frame 1404 includes a brake shaft 1622 extending from a collar frame 1624. The driving shaft of the example motor 1618 illustrated includes a center or core axis 1626 and an outer axis 1628 concentric to the center axis 1626.
    [0106] FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of the grapple assembly 1400 taken along line 18A-18A. In the illustrated example, the second hole 1616 of coupling 1612 includes a pair of internally extending ridges or ridges 1800, 1802 (e.g., parallel key ridges). The example of outer shaft 1628 includes opposite grooves or cracks 1804, 1806, which receive splines 1800, 1802 from coupling 1612.
    [0107] As illustrated in FIGS. 16 and 18, the brake axis 1622 is arranged around the central axis 1626 in a space delimited between the central axis 1626 and 1628, the external axis. In the illustrated example, the collar frame 1624 of the core 1620 is coupled to the frame 1404. In some examples, the frame 1404 and the core 1620 are integrally formed.
    [0108] the second claw example 1602 includes one or more rolled molds 1808 arranged around the axis of the example brake 1622. In some examples, each of the wrap springs 1808 includes four coils. However, spring breakers including other coil numbers are used in other examples. Each example breaks spring 1808 includes a first spike or arm 1810 at a first end of Spring 1808 and a second spike or arm 1812 at a second end of spring 1808. In the illustrated example, wrap springs 1808 are oriented such that the first spike 1810 of each of the spring wrap 1808 is deposited in slot 1804 of the outer shaft 1628 one adjacent 1802 of the coupling grooves 1800, 1612 and the second spike 1812 is deposited in slot 1806 adjacent to another one of the splines 1800, 1802 Thus, if the driving shaft of the example motor 1618 rotates during operation, the outer shaft 1628 engages one of the spikes 1810, 1812 of the spring wrap 1808 and if the coupling 1612 rotates during operation, one of the splines 1800, 1802 of the coupling 1612 engages one of the ears 1810, 1812 of the spring wrap 1808. If the coupling 1612 engages one of the ears 1810, 1812, the corresponding bonnet (s) of the springs 1808 tighten around the brake shaft 1622 to resist the relative movement between frame 1404 and second claw 1602. If the outer axis 1628 of the drive shaft 1618 engages on one of the spikes 1810, 1812, release coils around the brake shaft 1622 to release resistance to movement relative between the second claw 1602 and the frame 1404.
    [0109] The central axis 1626 of the example drive motor shaft 1618 is coupled to an output shaft 1630 of motor 1402 via a 1632 coupling. In the illustrated example, coupling 1632 includes a plurality of noise or vibration isolators, 1634, 1636, such as, for example, one or more rubber sleeves. In the illustrated example, motor 1402 is an electric motor (for example, a DC 12-24V motor) and includes a gearbox or transmission. The sample engine 1402 is capable of operating at speeds of around 6000 rpm and the gearbox provides approximately a 130: 1 ratio between the speed of the engine 1402 and a speed of a 1630 engine output shaft. The engine 1402 and gearboxes are arranged inside a housing 1638, which is coupled to frame 1404 through one or more mechanical fixing systems 1640 and sound or vibration isolators 1642, 1644, such as, for example, one or more rubber sleeves.
    [0110] during operation, motor 1402, hand controller 920 or both can rotate tube 904 and thus roll up and / or unwind cover 906 (ie lower or raise cover 906, respectively). For example, when motor 1402 drives the drive shaft of motor 1618, outer shaft 1628 da. motor drive shaft 1618 engages one of the nipples 1810, 1812 on each of the spring wrap 1808, thus loosening the spring wrap 1808 around the brake shaft 1622. If the hand controller 920 is not operated during this time, the male connector 1100 of hand controller 920 prevents the drive shaft of motor 1618 from rotating the second claw 1602. Thus, drive shaft of motor 1618 is kept substantially stationary, which causes motor 1402 to rotate on the motor output shaft 1630. As a result, the engine speed is 1402 to frame 1404 and thus the tube 904.
    [0111] If hand controller 920 is operated (for example, by a user pulling the cable with sufficient force 1000) and motor 1402 is not moved (for example, during a power outage, manual operation by a user without access to a central controller or other electronic controls, etc.), the male connector 1100 rotates, causing the female connector 1410, the drive shaft 1604, the coupling 1612 and the drive shaft of the motor 1618 to rotate. As a result, coupling 1612 engages one of the spikes 1810, 1812, each of the spring wrap 1808 to cause the springs in the wrap 1808 to tighten around the brake shaft 1622 and thus transfer the applied torque from the hand controller 920 to frame 1404 cause the roll tube 904 to rotate. In the illustrated example, wrap springs 1808 include tangs 1810, 1812 on both sides of one of the splines 1800, 1802 of coupling 1612. Thus, rotation of coupling 1612 in the direction of winding and unwinding direction causes the wrap springs 1808 to tighten around the brake axle 1626. As a result, cover 906 can be selectively raised or lowered by a user via hand controller 920 (for example, without power supplied to motor 1402).
    [0112] The movement of the motor 1402 and thus the tube 904 is additive to the movement of the motor drive shaft 1618. For example, if the hand controller 920 causes the drive shaft of the motor 1618 to rotate at a speed 20 revolutions per minute, in a first direction, and the motor 1402 is driven to turn on the output shaft 1630 at a speed of 25 revolutions per minute in a second direction opposite to the first direction, so the tube 904 rotates in the second direction at a speed of 5 revolutions per minute. In another example, if hand controller 920 causes the drive shaft of motor 1618 to rotate at a speed of 20 revolutions per minute in the first direction, and motor 1402 is driven to turn on output shaft 1630 at a speed of 25 revolutions per minute in the first direction, the tube 904 rotates in the first direction at a speed of 45 revolutions per minute. Thus, hand controller 920 and motor 1402 can cooperate or compete to assist or prevent pipe movement through hand controller 920 904.
    [0113] During the architectural opening operation covering assembly 900, if tube 904 rotates to fully relax cover 906 (ie, cover 906 is in a completely unrolled position), motor 1402 drives drive shaft 1604 through the web dead of the first claw 1600. For example, as the cover 906 unfolds, the motor 1402 applies a first torque to the tube 904, in a first direction (for example, counterclockwise) and a weight of the cover 906 applies a second torque to tube 904 greater than the first torque in a second direction opposite the first direction (for example, clockwise). As a result, the teeth 1704, 1706 of the drive shaft 1604 engage the teeth 1700, 1702 of the female connector 1410, and the motor 1402 allows the weight of the cover 906 to cause the tube 904 and the motor 1402 to rotate together to unwind the cover 906. If tube 904 empties the fully unrolled position (ie, where cover 906 unfolds completely from tube 904), the weight of cover 906 applies torque to tube 904 in the first direction. As a result, the motor 1402 drives the teeth 1704, 1706 of the engagement shaft 1604 with the teeth, 1700, 1702 of the female connector 1410 to a part of a revolution (e.g., 160 degrees), but the pipe 904 remains substantially stationary while engine 1402 is running. As described in more detail below, the gap can be detected (for example, by detecting that engine 1402 is operating, but does not rotate tube 902) to determine a fully unrolled position of cover 906 .
    [0114] FIG. 19 is a perspective view of an example 1900 local controller. The example 1900 local controller is arranged inside and coupled to the roll tube 904. In the illustrated example, the local controller 1900 includes a frame 1902. A first example portion 1104 of the frame 1902 is coupled to the 904 tube and a second portion 1106 of the 1902 housing is guided to a second support 1908, through a joint 1910 electronic slip or rotary ring. In some examples, the second element 1908 is mounted on an architectural opening wall or frame. During operation, frame 1902 rotates with tube 904 on an axis of rotation of tube 904.
    [0115] FIG. 20 is an example cross-sectional view on support 1908 of the second portion 1 106 of the exemplary housing 1600.

A central controller and / or a power source can be coupled to electrical contacts 2000, 2002 through wires.
    [0116] The example local controller 1900 of FIG. 20 includes a circuit board 2012, which is attached to the second portion 1106 of frame 1902 adjacent to electrical contacts, 2000, 2002. Circuit board 2012 includes three spring pins, conductive 2014, 2016 and 2018. When frame 1902 is coupled to the slip ring 1610, the pins, 2014, 2016 and 2018 are inclined to engage with the electrical contacts, 2000, 2002 by the included springs.
    [0117] FIG. 21 is another cross-sectional view of the exemplary housing 1908 and the support 1908. In the illustrated example, the second portion 1106 of the housing 1902 is slidably coupled to the first portion 1104 of the housing 1902. A plunger 2100 is deposited within the second part 1106 of the frame 1902 and a spring 2102 seated between the first portion 1104 of frame 1902 and plunger 2100 polarizing the circuit board 2012 to the second element 1908 to urge the pins, 2014, 2016 and 2018 in engagement with the electrical contacts, 2000, 2002 .
    [0118] In the illustrated example, a control board, at 2104 is arranged inside the first portion 1104 of frame 1902. The local example controller 1900 is coupled to motor 1402 and can be communicatively coupled to a central controller, a remote control wired or wireless, or any other device to instruct the local controller. During operation, the local controller 1900 transmits signals to motor 1402 to cause motor 1402 to rotate tube 904, allowing tube 904 to rotate, and / or to hold tube 904 substantially stationary.
