  • Publication number: 20240322618
    Abstract: A synchronous electric motor includes a rotor and a stator. The stator includes an armature and coils. The armature includes a yoke and teeth. The teeth define recesses. The coils are mounted in the recesses of the armature. The stator is wound by insertion. Each coil is formed from a wire outside the stator, so that the coils are subsequently inserted into the recesses, through wire passages of the recesses according to a direction radial to a central axis of the stator. Furthermore, a ratio of a surface area of each recess to a thickness of the yoke is between 5 mm and 10 mm, the surface area of each recess being measured in a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the stator.

  • Patent number: 10934773
    Abstract: A motorized maneuvering device (1) intended to manoeuvre a moving windable fabric screen (3), the motorized maneuvering device includes an actuator (4), comprising a hollow housing (41) containing a gear motor and a mounting end-plate (7a) which has a first support (11) extending from the end-plate along a first longitudinal axis (X-X?) and cooperating with the housing (41) of the actuator (4) and a second support (12) extending from the end-plate along a second axis distinct from the first axis (Ya-Ya?, Z-Z?). The hollow housing, notably the tubular hollow housing, of the actuator, is closed by the first end-plate support.

  • Patent number: 10704325
    Abstract: Disclosed is a motor assembly for a motor unit for driving a shaft for rolling a blind, the assembly including a rotary motor and an output shaft connected to the rotary motor in order to transmit the torque supplied by the rotary motor to the rolling shaft, the output shaft including a first socket for receiving a drive member of the rolling shaft of a roller blind. The output shaft also includes a second socket, separate from the first socket, for securing a non-roller blind to the rolling shaft.

  • Patent number: 9665084
    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for winding a screen (12) comprises a winding drum (14) for winding the screen (12) which can rotate about an axis of rotation (16) with respect to a fixed frame of reference over more than one revolution between at least one first end-of-travel position and a second end-of-travel position, a motor assembly (30) comprising a motor (32) equipped with a stator (32.1) intended to be fixed to a fixed support (23, 26) and a rotor (32.2) kinematically connected to the winding drum (14). A first measurement assembly (51) comprises a first encoder (46) secured to the rotor (32.2), a first sensor for reading the first encoder (46) and generating a first counting signal when the first encoder (46) turns. First processing means (50) generate, as a function of the first counting signal, a first signal indicative of the position of the screen, which signal is monotonous when the drum moves from the first end-of-travel position to the second end-of-travel position.
