DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drive control device for a panel such as a partition panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a large space such as a wedding hall is divided into small spaces according to the number of employees by a partition panel disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 7-13425, for example. That is, a rail of a predetermined length is provided on a ceiling of a wedding hall or the like and extends in a direction orthogonal to a wall surface inside the wedding hall, and a drive runner provided with an electric motor suspends an upper end of the partition panel on the rail. A plurality is provided in a state supported below. When the electric motor of the drive runner is driven, the drive runner travels along the rail, and the partition panel moves in synchronization with the drive runner.

At the end of the partition panel in the moving direction, there is provided a first panel for detecting that the partition panel has approached an object.
And a second sensor for detecting that the partition panel has come into contact with an object. When the moving partition panel approaches an object placed on the movement trajectory of the partition panel, the first sensor detects that the partition panel has approached the object, and based on the approach detection, the first sensor detects the partition panel. The panel is slowed down. Furthermore,
When the partition panel contacts the object, the second sensor detects that the partition panel has contacted the object, and based on the detected contact, the partition panel is stopped.

The deceleration of the partition panel is performed such that the moving partition panel is immediately stopped when the second sensor detects that the partition panel has come into contact with an object. Therefore, when the partition panel comes into contact with the object, it is possible to prevent the object from being damaged by the pressing of the partition panel.

When the wedding hall is partitioned into small spaces by the partition panels, each partition panel is sequentially moved toward the wall of the wedding hall. The leading partition panel gradually decelerates when approaching the wall surface and stops immediately upon contact with the wall surface. Thereafter, the partition panel subsequent to the leading partition panel gradually decelerates when approaching the leading partition panel, and is stopped immediately upon contact with the leading partition panel. The partition panels subsequent to the stopped partition panel sequentially come into contact with the preceding partition panel and stop, and the stopped partition panels divide a large space such as a wedding hall into a small space.

[0006]

However, in the above partition panel, when a subsequent panel comes into contact with a preceding panel, the subsequent panel is immediately stopped. Therefore, when the partition panels come into contact with each other, a gap may be formed between the side portions of the adjacent panels due to vibration or the like at the time of the contact.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and a first object of the present invention is to improve the adhesion between panels when the panels come into contact with each other.

[0008] A second object is to prevent an object from being caught between panels approaching each other and from being damaged. A third object is to share a sensor for emergency stop of the panel and a sensor for increasing the driving force for moving the panel.

In the invention described in claim 2, the approach detection means outputs a detection signal when adjacent panels approach each other until just before contact. According to the third aspect of the present invention, a plurality of panels movable along the same predetermined trajectory are provided.

The approach detecting means is a sensor for detecting the object when the panel approaches a predetermined distance to an object located on the movement path of the panel and outputting a detection signal. When the distance is equal to or more than a predetermined value, the control means is set to the movement mode, and when the distance between adjacent panels is equal to or less than the predetermined value, mode switching means for setting the control means to the close contact mode is provided. The moving means is controlled so that the panel is stopped based on the detection signal, and the control means in the close contact mode controls the driving force for moving the panel based on the detection signal from the sensor so as to be larger than before. The means of movement is controlled.

That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, each panel separately moves along the same predetermined trajectory by the driving force of the moving means. When the preceding panel is fixed, the following panel approaches the panel. When the distance between the two panels becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value, the approach detecting means detects that the distance between the two panels becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value, and outputs a detection signal.

The movement mode control means controls the movement means so that the panel stops based on a detection signal output by a sensor for detecting the approach of the panel to the object. Also, for example, when the preceding panel is fixed and the distance between the panel and the following panel is less than or equal to a predetermined value,
The control means is set to the close contact mode by the mode switching means.

Next, the electrical configuration of the drive runners 13 and 14 and the partition panel 16 configured as described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the input side of a panel controller C2 provided on the partition panel 16 has first and second

It is connected to the ground controller C1 of the operation console S.

Each panel controller C2 drives the runner electric motor 15a to generate a predetermined drive torque. The partition panel 16 is provided with a runner electric motor 15.
It moves along the rail 11 by the drive torque generated by a. In the moving partition panel 16 shown in FIG. 7A, since the ceiling and floor cushions 55 and 58 are not pressed against the ceiling and floor, the dog 59 in FIG. 1 does not contact the limit switch 60. In this state, the limit switch 60 outputs a non-detection signal (off signal) to the panel controller C2. The panel controller C2 outputs an off signal from the limit switch 60 to the panel controller C2 of the subsequent partition panel 16 via the ground controller C1.

The panel controller C2 in the subsequent partition panel 16 supplies power to only the first optical sensor 72 in the subsequent partition panel 16 while the OFF signal is being input. Then, the light emitting element 72a of the first optical sensor 72 emits light toward the first reflection plate 90 of the preceding partition panel 16. When the distance between the preceding panel 16 and the succeeding panel 16 becomes, for example, 200 mm or less due to a decrease in the moving speed of the preceding partition panel 16, for example, the light receiving element 72b of the first optical sensor 72 becomes:
The light from the light emitting element 72a reflected by the first reflection plate 90 is received.

The first optical sensor 72 includes a light receiving element 72
When b receives the light from the light emitting element 72a, it outputs a detection signal to the panel controller C2. The panel controller C2 stops the drive of the runner electric motor 15a based on the detection signal from the first optical sensor 72, and stops the movement of the subsequent partition panel 16.

While the panel controller C2 of the succeeding partition panel 16 is inputting the OFF signal from the limit switch 60 of the preceding partition panel 16, the object indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. When the left end of the subsequent partition panel 16 collides with the obstacle W, the pressure sensor 76 shown in FIG. Due to this contact, the main body 77 of the pressure sensor 76 is elastically deformed, and the conductive rubber 78a of the pressure sensor 76 contacts the conductive rubber 78b. When the two conductive rubbers 78a and 78b come into contact with each other, the pressure sensor 76 outputs a detection signal to the panel controller C2 of the subsequent partition panel 16. The panel controller C2 stops driving of the runner electric motor 15a based on a detection signal from the pressure sensor 76, and stops movement of the subsequent partition panel 16.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the partition panel 16 is fixed, the ceiling and floor cushions 55 and 58 are pressed against the ceiling and floor, and the dog 59 in FIG. Contact Then, the limit switch 60 outputs a detection signal (ON signal) to the panel controller C2. The panel controller C2 outputs an ON signal from the limit switch 60 to the panel controller C2 of the subsequent partition panel 16 via the ground controller C1.

The panel controller C2 in the subsequent partition panel 16 supplies power to only the second optical sensor 73 in the subsequent partition panel 16 while the ON signal is being input. Then, the light emitting element 73a of the second optical sensor 73 emits light toward the second reflecting plate 91 of the fixed partition panel 16. The distance between the fixed partition panel 16 and the subsequent partition panel 16 is set to a value (for example, 20) at which an object is not sandwiched between the two panels 16.
mm) or more, the light receiving element 73b of the second optical sensor 73 does not receive light from the light emitting element 73a. The second optical sensor 73 outputs a non-detection signal (off signal) to the panel controller C2 when the light receiving element 73b does not receive light from the light emitting element 73a.

When the succeeding panel 16 approaches the fixed panel 16 and the distance between the two panels 16 becomes 20 mm or less,
The light receiving element 73b of the second optical sensor 73 receives the light from the light emitting element 73a reflected by the second reflection plate 91. The second light sensor 73 includes a light receiving element 73b and a light emitting element 73a.
When receiving the light from, a detection signal (ON signal) is output to the panel controller C2. The panel controller C2 is in the movement mode while the OFF signal is being input, and is in the contact mode while the ON signal is being input.

When the panel controller C2 of the subsequent partition panel 16 is in the movement mode, when the pressure sensor 76 of the partition panel 16 contacts an object and outputs a detection signal to the panel controller C2, the panel controller C2
Stops the drive of the runner electric motor 15a and stops the movement of the subsequent partition panel 16. Further, when the panel controller C2 is in the close contact mode, when the two panels 16 approach each other until the convex frame 62 of the subsequent panel 16 comes into contact with the concave frame 63 of the fixed panel 16 as shown in FIG. The pressure sensor 76 contacts the protrusion 92 of the fixed panel 16. The pressure sensor 76 outputs a detection signal to the panel controller C2 by contacting the projection 92. The panel controller C2 is
Based on the detection signal from the pressure sensor 76, the capacitance of a capacitor provided in the runner electric motor 15a for moving the subsequent partition panel 16 is made larger than before.

The panel controller C2 drives the cushion electric motor 46 after a predetermined time has elapsed after increasing the capacitance of the capacitor, and presses the ceiling and floor cushions 55 and 58 against the ceiling and floor. Then, the subsequent partition panel 16 is fixed.

Next, the operation of the drive control device for a partition panel configured as described above will be described. In order to partition a large space such as a wedding ceremony or the like into a small space with each partition panel 16, the drive motors 15 a of the drive runners 13 and 14 are driven to generate a predetermined drive torque, and thereby each partition panel 16 is formed. We move sequentially toward the wall of the wedding hall. Then, when the speed of the preceding partition panel 16 is reduced due to a failure or the like, and the distance between the partition panel 16 and the subsequent partition panel 16 becomes 200 mm or less, the subsequent partition panel 16 is stopped and the collision of the two panels 16 occurs. Is prevented.

When the left end of the partition panel 16 collides with an obstacle W indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 7A located on the movement trajectory of the partition panel 16, the partition panel 16 stops moving. Thus, damage of the obstacle W is prevented. After the partition panel 16 stops, the obstacle W is removed from the movement trajectory of the partition panel 16, and the partition panel 16 is moved again.

When the leading partition panel 16 comes into contact with the wall surface of the wedding hall and is stopped, the partition panel 1 is stopped.
6 is fixed by the ceiling and floor cushions 55 and 58. When the distance between the fixed partition panel 16 and the subsequent partition panel 16 is equal to or greater than a value (20 mm in the present embodiment) at which an object does not enter between the two panels 16, the panel controller C2 of the subsequent partition panel 16 moves. Mode. When the panel controller C2 is in the movement mode, when the subsequent partition panel 16 comes into contact with the obstacle W, the subsequent partition panel 16 is stopped from moving, thereby preventing the obstacle W from being damaged. After the partition panel 16 stops, the obstacle W is removed from the movement trajectory of the partition panel 16, and the partition panel 16 is moved again.

The subsequent partition panel 16 further approaches the fixed partition panel 16 and the distance between the two panels 16 is 2
When the distance becomes 0 mm or less, the panel controller C2 of the subsequent partition panel 16 enters the close contact mode. When the succeeding panel 16 approaches the fixed panel 16 until just before the contact, the pressure sensor 76 of the succeeding panel 16 as shown in FIG.
Contacts the protrusion 92 of the fixed panel 16. Pressure sensor 7
6 outputs a detection signal to the panel controller C2 of the succeeding panel 16 by contacting the projection 92. The panel controller C2 in the close contact mode includes the pressure sensor 76
The runner electric motor 15 based on the detection signal from the
The torque generated by a is made larger than before.

In this state, when the convex frame 62 of the subsequent panel 16 is fitted into the concave frame 63 of the fixed panel 16 as shown in FIG.
2 is securely pressed against the concave frame 63.
As a result, the front and rear side surfaces of the protrusion 75 of the convex frame 62 reliably contact the packing 86a of the concave frame 63, and the convex frame 62 and the concave frame 63 are securely adhered.

The convex frame 62 and the concave frame 63
After that, the partitioning panel 16 is fixed by the ceiling and floor cushions 55 and 58. After that, the partition panel 16 further further than the subsequent panel 16
Are fixed to the partition panel 16 fixed in advance in a state in which the partition panel 16 is securely adhered sequentially. When all the partition panels 16 are fixed, the operation for partitioning the wedding hall into a small space is completed.

In this embodiment described in detail above, the following (a)
(D). (A) When the subsequent partition panel 16 comes into contact with the fixed partition panel 16, the subsequent partition panel 16
Is pressed against the concave frame 63 of the fixed partition panel 16. Therefore, the protrusions 75 of the convex frame 62 correspond to the packings 86 of the concave frame 63.
Since it is securely pressed against a, the adhesion between the two partition panels 16 can be improved.
