Control system for swimming pool cover, comprises electric motors supplied from solar panel and driving caterpillar tracks, the motor speeds being controlled by metal strip and proximity detectors

摘要

The swimming pool cover (19) is driven by electric motors (8) which propel a caterpillar track (6) through wheels (10,9). The motors are supplied by a battery (13) which is kept charged by a solar panel (12) and regulator (14). The relative speeds of the motors and the cover trajectory are controlled by inductive proximity detectors (1,2,3,4) in association with a metal strip (5). A touch sensitive profile (11) ensures safety
