Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a communication system for an opening / closing device, for example, a remote operation system such as a shutter, a door, a window, an overhead door, a gate, a gate (a gate for a parking lot, etc.), a roll screen (for example, a light shielding curtain), a blind, an awning device. It can be applied to a remote control system).
[0002]
Moreover, this invention relates to the non-opening-closing body side communication apparatus as a component of this communication system.
[0003]
Furthermore, the present invention relates to an opening / closing body side communication device as a component of such a communication system.
[0004]
[Prior art]
Many opening / closing devices have been proposed that can instruct opening / closing of the opening / closing body by wireless communication using a remote control transmitter. For example, in a garage shutter, it is convenient that the user can open and close the shutter without getting off the vehicle, and a wireless remote control system is often applied.
[0005]
In such a remote control receiver for a wireless remote control system for a shutter, a radio wave from a remote control transmitter is transmitted via a wireless transmission path using a reception antenna attached to a wall surface in the vicinity of the shutter or the front or lower surface of the shutter storage box. To capture.
[0006]
In the remote control receiver, an electric signal (for example, an ASK modulation signal or an FSK modulation signal) captured and converted by the reception antenna is demodulated by the reception unit, and an original transmission signal (demodulation signal) that the remote control transmitter is to transmit. ) Is provided to the reception control unit. Then, the original transmission signal is decoded by the reception control unit, and based on the identification information (hereinafter abbreviated as ID) inserted in the signal, the remote control transmitter that is the source of the original transmission signal is sent to the remote control receiver. Confirm that the operation instruction can be issued (ID verification), and then, based on the information content inserted in the original transmission signal, the shutter operation (shutter opening operation, closing operation or stoppage) An open / close control signal for instructing the operation is supplied to the shutter controller SC (see FIG. 2).
[0007]
This open / close control signal is formed in response to an operation performed on each operation switch by an operator (user) of the remote control transmitter.
[0008]
In the case of a remote control transmitter for a garage shutter, it is usually sufficient to perform at most several types of shutter operations such as the opening operation, closing operation, or stopping operation, so the number of operation switches provided on the remote control transmitter is also several. Often. These operation switches can be classified into a shutter operation switch for performing the shutter operation and a power switch for supplying or not supplying power to the electronic circuit of the remote control transmitter itself.
[0009]
When the power switch is turned off and the power supply is not supplied, the power supply to the electronic circuit in the remote control transmitter is almost completely cut off, so that the power switch is useful for power saving.
[0010]
On the other hand, when the power switch is turned off and the supply of power to the electronic circuit in the remote control transmitter is cut off, the electronic circuit can detect the operation no matter how the shutter operation switch is operated. In addition, the opening / closing control signal is not formed.
[0011]
In this sense, the power switch also functions as a shutter malfunction prevention switch. Since the remote control transmitter is usually large enough to fit in the palm of the user, there is little possibility of accidentally touching an unintended operation switch, and such a malfunction prevention switch is useful.
[0012]
Therefore, in the case of a remote control transmitter equipped with a power switch, the user of the remote control transmitter first turns on the power switch to supply power to the electronic circuit inside the remote control transmitter, and then operates the shutter operation switch. Only by doing so, it becomes possible to perform a desired shutter operation.
[0013]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, the conventional wireless remote control system is excellent from the viewpoint of preventing malfunction, and can be operated without any trouble, but it may be preferable to improve it in terms of operability.
[0014]
That is, in the case of a remote control transmitter equipped with the power switch, even if the user tries to immediately stop the closing operation of the shutter during the closing operation, the closing operation is immediately stopped if the power switch is OFF. First, the power switch must be turned on, and then the operation switch corresponding to the closing operation of the shutter must be operated.
[0015]
Here, if the user tries to stop the closing operation of the shutter, then at least two types of operation (a power switch and a closing operation stop switch are separately provided for each operation switch, and each corresponds to one operation switch. First, it is necessary to execute the operation of pressing the operation switch for the power switch and then pressing the operation switch for stopping the closing operation. And it takes a long time to accomplish that operation.
[0016]
It is also conceivable that the user cannot immediately remember which operation switch was the power switch.
[0017]
Therefore, it would be advantageous to have a system that can stop the shutter closing operation quickly and easily with a small number of operations as intended by the user of the remote control transmitter.
[0018]
Depending on conditions such as the form of the shutter, the opening operation may be a problem.
[0019]
Moreover, the above problems are common not only to shutters but also to remote control systems for other opening / closing devices such as doors, windows, and overhead doors.
[0020]
An object of this invention is to provide the communication system of the switchgear with favorable operativity and high reliability.
[0021]
Another object of the present invention is to provide a non-opening / closing body side communication device and an opening / closing body side communication device as components of such a communication system.
[0022]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(A) Embodiment
Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described by taking as an example a case where the communication system of a switchgear and the non-opening / closing body side communication device according to the present invention are applied to a remote control system for a garage shutter and a remote control transmitter.
[0026]
In this embodiment, the remote operation system is a mixed system in which a wired remote control system and the wireless remote control system are mixed.
[0027]
Here, the wired remote control system is a remote control system including a shutter system as a component, and performs a shutter operation by wired communication.
[0028]
In general, the wireless remote control system is advantageous in that the shutter operation can be performed from an unspecified position that is far away, and the usability is good, and the shutter operation is always performed at a specific position in terms of communication reliability. When you want to specify, the wired remote control system is suitable.
[0029]
Also, if the same shutter system can be controlled by wire or wireless, it is flexible and either method can be taken for the convenience of the user. Therefore, the actual remote control system is often a mixed system in which the features of these wireless remote control system and wired remote control system are mixed.
[0030]
However, in the case of a mixed system, various complicated situations that could not occur in a wired remote control system or a wireless remote control system may occur.
[0031]
In the mixed system, the present embodiment is characterized in that the communication operation is controlled with respect to communicating operation information for designating opening and closing of the shutter.
[0032]
(A-1) Configuration of the first embodiment
The overall configuration of the garage shutter remote control system 10 is shown in FIG.
[0033]
In FIG. 2, the remote operation system 10 includes a remote control transmitter 11, a remote control receiver 12, a shutter control unit SC, and a shutter system SS.
[0034]
Among them, the shutter system SS includes a shutter S1, a driving mechanism (not shown) such as a motor necessary for driving the shutter S1, and a fixed operation unit (corresponding to the fixed operation unit) in the shutter system SS. With AM.
[0035]
In addition, the remote control receiver 12 is usually a portion that is fixedly arranged inside the shutter system SS, and includes a wireless reception unit 14 and a reception processing unit 15.
[0036]
The radio receiving unit 14 includes a receiving antenna system, a filter circuit, and the like, and is a part that receives the radio signal LS1 transmitted from the remote control transmitter 11 via the space 13. The radio signal LS1 may be a radio wave of about 300 MHz or 400 MHz, for example.
[0037]
The wireless receiver 14 outputs a received signal WS1 corresponding to the received wireless signal LS1. The reception signal WS1 is supplied to the reception processing unit 15 via a predetermined signal line.
[0038]
The reception processing unit 15 is a part that performs necessary processing such as demodulation processing and decoding processing on the received signal WS1 to generate and output the opening / closing control signal CS1.
[0039]
The opening / closing control signal CS1 is a signal for designating a shutter operation such as an opening operation, a closing operation, or a stop operation of the shutter. The types of shutter operations specified by the opening / closing control signal CS1 may normally be about these three types, but can be reduced or increased as necessary.
[0040]
In order to reduce the number, it is possible to use two types of operation, that is, shutter operation and operation stop. In the two cases, the shutter controller SC that has received the opening / closing control signal CS1 designating the shutter operation performs different operations depending on the state of the shutter S1 at that time.
[0041]
That is, when the shutter S1 at that time is closed, an opening operation is performed, and when the shutter S1 is open, a closing operation is performed. Also, if an operation stop is specified during the opening or closing operation, the operation is stopped at that position, and if an operation is specified again, the operation performed immediately before the stop may be resumed. .
[0042]
On the other hand, when increasing, in addition to the above-described opening operation, closing operation, or stopping operation, for example, it is possible to specify a ventilation operation or to specify an intermediate position of the shutter S1.
[0043]
Here, the ventilation operation is an operation that shifts from a ventilation-prohibited fully closed state to a ventilable fully closed state. This shift is executed by increasing the vertical interval between the slats constituting the shutter S1. When the distance between the slats increases, the air in the two spaces separated by the fully-closed shutter is exchanged via the distance.
[0044]
The intermediate position refers to the state of the shutter S1 located between the fully opened position and the completely closed position. For example, the intermediate position A indicates a partial opening having a predetermined size close to full closing. The intermediate position B may indicate half open (a state where only half is opened), and the intermediate position C may indicate partial open of a predetermined size close to full open.
[0045]
Each of these intermediate positions can also be realized by designating a stop in the middle of performing an opening operation or a closing operation. However, when designating an intermediate position, each intermediate position is designated from the beginning with a single designation. It becomes possible to specify.
[0046]
The shutter controller SC that has received such an open / close control signal CS1 supplies the shutter control signal CC1 corresponding to each open / close control signal CS1 to the motor, thereby realizing a shutter operation desired by the user.
[0047]
Next, the remote control transmitter 11 that wirelessly transmits the wireless signal LS1 that is the basis of the opening / closing control signal CS1 will be described.
[0048]
The external appearance of the remote control transmitter 11 is shown in FIG. 3, and the internal configuration is shown in FIG.
[0049]
In FIG. 3, the main body 11A of the remote control transmitter 11 has a compact configuration enough to fit in the palm of the user. From the main body 11A, four operation switches 31 to 34 of a PBS (push button switch) type protrude.
[0050]
Among these, the operation switches 31 to 33 are shutter operation switches for performing a shutter operation, and the operation switch 34 is a power switch for supplying or not supplying power to an electronic circuit in the remote control transmitter 11. It shall be.
[0051]
In the present embodiment, among the shutter operation switches 31 to 33, the shutter operation switch 33 is a stop switch for stopping the shutter closing operation, and the shutter operation switches 31 and 32 perform shutter operations other than the stop operation. It is assumed that it is a switch for performing.
[0052]
The relationship between each of these operation switches 31 to 34 and the internal configuration becomes clear from FIG.
[0053]
(A-1-1) Internal configuration of remote control transmitter
In FIG. 1, the remote control transmitter 11 includes a wireless transmission unit 20, a signal generation unit 21, a processor 22, a procedure storage unit 23, an operation detection unit 24, a connection switch unit 25, a power supply unit 26, and a stop. And an operation detection unit 27.
[0054]
Among them, the wireless transmission unit 20 wirelessly transmits a wireless signal LS1 corresponding to the transmission signal WS1 received from the signal generation unit 21 via a predetermined signal line at a portion facing the wireless reception unit 14 via the space 13. To do. For this purpose, the wireless transmission unit 20 includes a transmission antenna system, a filter circuit, and the like. The transmission signal WS1 is a signal corresponding to the reception signal WS1.
[0055]
The signal generator 21 includes an encoder and a modulator, and changes the content of the transmission signal WS1 to be generated according to the transmission control signal GC supplied from the processor 22.
[0056]
In the case of a remote control transmitter, the content of the transmission signal WS1 is, for example, a finite number determined according to the type of shutter operation specified by the above-described opening / closing control signal CS1, and thus information to be transmitted (the opening / closing control signal CS1). (Which may be a ROM (Read Only Memory) or the like) is also present in the signal generation unit 21, and one transmission information is sent from the generation source according to the transmission control signal GC. The configuration may be selected.
[0057]
The processor 22 is a component mainly composed of a control device that manages and controls the state of all electronic circuits in the remote control transmitter 11.
[0058]
It is the procedure storage unit 23 and the stop operation detection unit 27 that give signals to the processor 22.
[0059]
The stop operation detection unit 27 is a portion that is constantly supplied with the power supply power PW2 from the power supply unit 26, and is a MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) type FET (Field Effect Transistor) CMOS (Complementary MOS). ) Format circuit configuration. A CMOS circuit is generally preferable as a circuit type of the stop operation detection unit 27 that always supplies the power supply power PW2 because it has a characteristic that the operation speed is low but the power consumption is extremely low.
[0060]
Further, even if the operation speed is slow, it is slower than the TTL (Transistor Transistor Logic) format, which means that the peripheral circuit configuration (distribution capacity of the signal line connecting the processor 22 and the stop operation detecting unit 27 is reduced. Depending on the value etc.), it is rare that the operation is slow enough to be experienced by the user.
[0061]
For example, by shortening the signal line connecting the processor 22 and the stop operation detecting unit 27, the distribution capacity of the signal line portion is made as small as possible, and the circuit scale of the stop operation detecting unit 27 itself is reduced. Making the value of the capacity (including the distributed capacity) of the detection unit 27 itself as small as possible is effective for increasing the operation speed.
[0062]
If the operation speed is not sufficiently high, the CMOS of the stop operation detection unit 27 may be replaced with a high-speed CMOS having a large current driving capability. In the case of a high-speed CMOS, it is possible to obtain an operation speed comparable to that of a low-power Schottky type TTL. However, in a high-speed CMOS, at least the power consumption during operation tends to be larger than that of a normal CMOS.
[0063]
Note that the logical configuration of the stop operation detection unit 27 is simply configured with a 1-bit flip-flop or the like because it is only necessary to notify the processor 22 by the stop signal ST that the stop switch 33 has been pressed. can do.
[0064]
As for the state of the flip-flop, immediately after the stop switch 33 is pressed, the stop operation detecting unit 27 itself or the processor 22 is reset and returned to the initial state. Thus, the Q output terminal can be made active only when the stop switch 33 is pressed, and thereafter inactive. When the stop switch 33 is pressed for the second time, the same operation can be performed to change from inactive to active and immediately return to inactive. The same applies to the third and subsequent operations.
[0065]
The flip-flop is assumed to be inactive when the stop signal ST is active and low when the Q output terminal is high, for example. The flip-flop in the stop operation detection unit 27 is a period in which the power switch 34 is turned off (this period is very long in time. For example, it may extend for several days or weeks continuously. In general, 90% or more of the total usage period of the remote control transmitter 11 is considered to be a period when no switch operation is performed) in an inactive state (a state where power is supplied but is not active). Therefore, it is very important to reduce power consumption in the inactive state from the viewpoint of power saving.
[0066]
When the processor 22 receives the stop signal ST in the active state (the high level) at a predetermined input port, the high level signal requests the stop of the closing operation of the shutter S1 from the address number assigned to the input port. It is possible to recognize that this is the stop signal ST.
[0067]
In this case, the processor 22 needs to have a total of two input ports, one each for the stop operation detection unit 27 and the procedure storage unit 23.
[0068]
The number of input ports of the processor 22 may be one. For this purpose, the procedure signal SE input from the procedure storage unit 23 and the stop signal ST input from the stop operation detection unit 27 are distinguished from each other. Therefore, the internal configuration of the stop operation detection unit 27 and the procedure storage unit 23 is likely to be complicated.
[0069]
On the other hand, unlike the stop operation detection unit 27, the procedure storage unit 23 that gives another input to the processor 22 also stores the temporal relationship of operation of the operation switches 31 and / or 32, and the like. It is necessary to output different procedure signals SE depending on the context. Therefore, the procedure storage unit 23 is configured as a sequential logic circuit having a somewhat complicated circuit configuration.
[0070]
The operation detection unit 24 supplies an operation detection signal DS indicating whether or not the operation switches 31 and 32 have been pressed to the procedure storage unit 23.
[0071]
The configuration of the operation detection unit 24 itself may be basically provided with 2 bits of flip-flops similar to the stop operation detection unit 27. The stored contents of these two flip-flops are supplied to the procedure storage unit 23 as a 2-bit parallel operation detection signal DS.
[0072]
However, since the operation detection unit 24 is not a part that always supplies the power supply power PW1 like the stop operation detection unit 27, the advantage when the power consumption is reduced is not as great as that of the stop operation detection unit 27. Also, the procedure storage unit 23 that needs to be driven is different from the stop operation detection unit 27 in that it is inevitable that the procedure storage unit 23 is a relatively large logic circuit.
[0073]
Considering these points, it is preferable to configure the operation detection unit 24 in the TTL format. However, if possible, the operation detection unit 24 may be composed of high-speed CMOS or CMOS.
[0074]
The specific structure of the sequential logic circuit of the procedure storage unit 23 that receives the operation detection signal DS from the operation detection unit 24 is determined according to how much information the procedure signal SE needs to express. , And the operation method of the operation switches 31 and 32 are considered to change.
[0075]
If it is assumed that pressing the operation switch 31 indicates an opening operation of the shutter S1, and pressing the operation switch 32 indicates a closing operation of the shutter S1, and if there is no need to specify other shutter operations, The procedure storage unit 23 can be omitted, and only the same configuration as the stop switch 33 and the stop operation detection unit 27 is provided in the operation switch 31 part and the operation switch 32 part.
[0076]
However, here, pressing the operation switch 31 indicates the opening operation of the shutter S1, and pressing the operation switch 32 indicates the closing operation of the shutter S1, and at the same time, the ventilation operation is also designated using these switches. Shall.
[0077]
This means that three shutter operations are specified using two operation switches, and it is necessary to give meaning to the operation procedure of each operation switch. As an operation method for designating the third ventilation operation, various methods are conceivable.
[0078]
For example, the ventilation operation is specified by pressing the operation switches 31 and 32 simultaneously, or the ventilation operation is specified by pressing the operation switch 31 twice during a predetermined operation time (for example, about 3 seconds). Can be considered.
[0079]
In addition, when the number of shutter operations to be specified is further increased from three, and partial opening operations corresponding to the intermediate positions A, B, and C are to be specified, the operation method becomes more complicated, for example, within the operation time. The partial opening operation corresponding to the intermediate position A is designated by pressing the operation switches in the order of the operation switch 31 → the operation switch 31 → the operation switch 32, and the operation switch 31 → the operation switch 32 → the operation switch 31 in that order. The partial opening operation corresponding to the intermediate position B is designated by pressing each operation switch in Step 1, and the intermediate position C is handled by pressing each operation switch in the order of the operation switch 32 → the operation switch 31 → the operation switch 31. It may be possible to specify a partial opening operation.
[0080]
Furthermore, it is conceivable to increase the number of shutter operations that can be specified by giving meaning to the length of time that each operation switch is pressed.
[0081]
Depending on the configuration of the remote control transmitter 11 and the shutter system SS, for example, the shutter S1 is closed only while the operation switch 31 is being pressed, and if the operation switch 31 is stopped, the shutter S1 is closed. An operation restriction system that restricts the user's operation behavior that stops the operation is also conceivable.
[0082]
In the case of this operation restraint system, the shutter operation is stopped if the operation switch is simply stopped. Therefore, the problem described in the section of the problem to be solved by the invention can hardly occur. It is compelled to continue the operation until the operation (here, the closing operation) is completed, which is problematic in terms of operability and is not easy to use.
[0083]
On the other hand, this embodiment is not such a configuration. For example, when the user presses the operation switch 31 and the operation is once detected by the operation detection unit 24, the remote control transmitter 11 and the shutter system SS operate after the detection. It is assumed that the system is an operation non-restraint system that automatically completes a shutter operation (here, a closing operation) according to the user's intention.
[0084]
The operation non-restraint system has better operability than the operation restraint system and is easy to use. On the other hand, the user who has finished operating the operation switch performs the closing operation immediately after the power switch 34 is turned off. You may feel you need to stop.
[0085]
The procedure storage unit 23 which is a component of the operation non-restricting system checks whether the operation switch 31 or 32 is not pressed during the time from when the operation switch 31 is pressed once until the operation time elapses. By analyzing the operation content of the operation switches 31 and / or 32, it is possible to distinguish between the above-described designation of the opening operation and the designation of the partial opening operation or the ventilation operation.
[0086]
By the way, when the operation method becomes complicated in this way, it is useful for preventing malfunction, but it becomes difficult for the user to remember the operation method, and the operation itself is troublesome and time-consuming. The operability of the remote control transmitter 11 is reduced.
[0087]
On the other hand, if the number of operation switches is increased in accordance with the number of shutter operations to be designated, the operation method can be prevented from becoming complicated and the operability can be improved.
[0088]
However, increasing the number of operation switches has the advantage of simplifying the operation method, but increases the number of parts constituting the remote control transmitter 11, complicating the manufacturing process, increasing the price, and reducing the compactness. In many cases, there is a certain upper limit on the number of operation switches that can be provided in the remote control transmitter.
[0089]
The connection switch unit 25 controlled by the power switch 34, which is one of such operation switches, is a part constituted by switching elements, and has two internal states, an ON (conductive) state and an OFF (non-conductive) state. Can take. The connection switch unit 25 supplies the power supply PW1 supplied from the power supply unit 26 to the procedure storage unit 23 and the operation detection unit 24 in the ON state, and cuts off the supply to these in the OFF state.
[0090]
Accordingly, all the four operation switches 31 to 34 function effectively when the connection switch unit 25 is in the ON state, but only the stop switch 33 and the power switch 34 function effectively when the connection switch unit 25 is in the OFF state. 21 and 32 do not function even if pressed, and are invalid.
[0091]
That is, in the present embodiment, basically, there are an all effective mode in which all the operation switches 31 to 34 are effective, and a partial effective mode in which only the operation switches 33 and 34 are effective.
[0092]
From this point, it can be said that the power switch 34 is an open / close operation invalid switch rather than a simple power switch.
[0093]
In addition, from the viewpoint of improving durability and reliability, it is generally considered that the connection switch unit 25 is made contactless by a switching element such as a transistor, but if necessary, contacted ON / OFF It can be configured as a switch.
[0094]
Here, only the operation detection unit 23 and the procedure storage unit 23 can supply or not supply the power supply power PW1 output from the power supply unit 26 by the operation of the connection switch unit 25.
[0095]
That is, it is assumed that the power operation power PW2 described above is always supplied to the stop operation detection unit 27, and the power supply power PW3 is always supplied to the wireless transmission unit 20, the signal generation unit 21, and the processor 22.
[0096]
Thus, the closing operation of the shutter S1 can be instantaneously stopped whenever the stop switch 33 is pressed without depending on the operation of the power switch 34.
[0097]
The power supply unit 26 that is a supply source of the power supply power PW1 to PW3 is a portion for loading a small battery that can be accommodated in the main body 11A of the compact remote control transmitter 11 and taking out the power supply from the battery. .
[0098]
The operation of the present embodiment having the above configuration will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0099]
The flowchart of FIG. 7 is composed of steps P1 to P6.
[0100]
(A-2) Operation of the first embodiment
In FIG. 2, it is assumed that a user UA related to the shutter system SS is performing the closing operation of the shutter S1 using the fixed operation unit AM at the position of the fixed operation unit AM.
[0101]
By this closing operation, the shutter S1 is closed from the top to the bottom according to the arrow D1.
[0102]
At this time, the user UB who feels the necessity to stop the closing for some reason, for example, discovers that there is an obstacle at the closing position of the shutter S1, for example, immediately using the portable remote control transmitter 11. The stop switch 33 is pushed.
[0103]
If the user UB had an intention to perform the shutter operation using the remote control transmitter 11 before that, there is a possibility that the connection switch unit 25 is turned on by operating the power switch 34 in advance at the stage of Step P1. However, in other cases, in order to save power and prevent malfunction, it is considered that the connection switch unit 25 is normally in the OFF state in step P1.
[0104]
If it is in the ON state, the step P2 branches to the Yes side, and the closing operation of the shutter S1 is immediately stopped by pressing the stop switch (that is, the stop switch) 33, or the operation switch 31 is pressed once (this) The operation of designating the opening operation of the shutter S1 can also stop the closing operation of the shutter S1 (P4).
[0105]
However, there is a problem when the opening operation is designated by pressing the operation switch 31 once.
[0106]
As described above, in the case where three or more shutter operations are performed by the two operation switches 31 and 32, the procedure storage unit 23 does not finish the analysis of the operation contents unless the operation time has elapsed. Since it is not possible to distinguish between designation of simple opening operation and designation of partial opening operation or ventilation operation, the closing operation of the shutter S1 is not performed until the time corresponding to the operation time elapses after the operation switch 31 is pressed. It will not be stopped.
[0107]
On the other hand, when the connection switch unit 25 is in the OFF state, the step P2 branches to the No side and is in the power OFF state (P5). No change occurs, and only when the stop switch 33 is pressed, the closing operation of the shutter S1 is stopped (P6). In this stop, since the analysis performed in the procedure storage unit 23 is not performed, the delay for the operation time does not occur, and the shutter S1 reacts promptly to the operation of the stop switch 33.
[0108]
It is detected that any one of the operation switches (31 to 34) is pressed in order to correspond to the delay of the operation time from when the operation switch 31 is pressed once until the closing operation of the shutter S1 is stopped. Then, before the analysis of the operation content is finished, the processor 22 may output a transmission control signal GC that designates the stop operation of the shutter S1 to designate the temporary stop operation.
[0109]
In this case, the signal generation unit 21 outputs a transmission signal WS1 similar to that when the normal stop operation is designated, and stops if the shutter S1 is in the open operation or in the close operation. If so, the stop state is maintained.
[0110]
Subsequently, when the analysis is completed, a shutter operation corresponding to the analysis result is performed.
[0111]
Therefore, in the case where the above-described connection switch unit 25 is in the ON state and the operation switch 31 is pressed once, the shutter S1 during the closing operation is first stopped by a temporary stop operation, and then (after the analysis is completed). The opening operation is performed according to the result.
[0112]
Thereby, the delay for the operation time is eliminated, and even when the operation switch 31 is pressed instead of the stop switch 33, it is possible to obtain the same operability as when the stop switch 33 is pressed.
[0113]
However, in this case, the number of input ports built in the processor 22 increases, and a signal line for connecting the procedure storage unit 23 or the operation detection unit 24 to the input port of the processor 22 may be required. Is expensive.
[0114]
Even if the operation switch 32 or 34 is accidentally pressed due to a temporary stop operation, the shutter S1 during the close operation is temporarily stopped (the length of the stop period corresponds to the operation time). Therefore, there is a possibility that this function can be used for something, for example, to secure time for retracting an obstacle existing at the closed position of the shutter S1 from the position.
[0115]
Furthermore, since this method can be used only once, even if the user UB cannot remember which operation switch is the stop switch, the shutter S1 is obtained by repeating this method many times. A slight movement (the movement direction differs depending on the operation switch pressed immediately before) is repeated, and the operation of stopping is repeated, and this function can be used continuously and repeatedly. As a result, for example, it is possible to secure as much time as necessary to retract the obstacle.
[0116]
Further, as is clear from the nature of the operation unrestricted system, the reception processing unit 15 in the remote control receiver 12 receives the reception signal WS1 once and performs a shutter operation corresponding to the reception signal WS1. During the period, since a new reception signal WS1 (that is, the contents of the designated shutter operation are different) should not be received, such reception signal W1 is not received during the shutter operation (opening operation or closing operation). If it is received, it is determined that the situation is an emergency, and all of the received signals may be decoded as reception signals designating a stop operation regardless of the contents of the shutter operation designated by the new reception signal WS1.
[0117]
That is, when the shutter S1 is operating, the reception processing unit 15 changes the content of the decoding process, and outputs a stop priority open / close control signal CS1 corresponding to the decoded decoding result of the changed decoding process. When the shutter S1 is stopped, a normal decoding process is performed.
[0118]
Further, the signal generation unit 21 in the remote control transmitter 11 may have a similar stop priority function so that the content of the transmission signal WS1 has stop priority.
[0119]
However, in this case, considering that the operation may be performed from the fixed operation unit AM, the remote control receiver 12 wirelessly transmits to the remote control transmitter 11 whether the shutter S1 is operating or stopped. Therefore, it is necessary to provide components corresponding to the wireless reception unit 14 and the reception processing unit 15 in the remote control receiver 12 in the remote control transmitter 11, thereby reducing the compactness of the remote control transmitter 11 and improving the processing capability. Such a load may increase.
[0120]
Therefore, in many cases, it is considered more reasonable to install this stop priority function on the remote control receiver 12 side.
[0121]
In the above description, the user UA and the user UB are related as the users of the shutter system SS. However, the same applies to the case where only the user UB is related.
[0122]
For example, the user UB presses the operation switch 32 of the remote control transmitter 11 once, recognizes the necessity of urgently stopping the closing operation, and urgently presses the stop switch 33. This case may include a case where the connection switch unit 25 is already in the OFF state using the power switch 34 immediately before the stop switch 33 is pressed, and a case where the connection switch unit 25 is not yet in the OFF state.
[0123]
Alternatively, the user UB operates the fixed operation unit AM to start the closing operation of the shutter S1, and recognizes the necessity of urgently stopping the closing operation when the user UB moves away from the position of the fixed operation unit AM. The closing operation may be stopped using the transmitter 11. In this case, it is normally considered that the connection switch unit 25 of the remote control transmitter 11 is in the OFF state.
[0124]
In any case, regardless of whether the connection switch unit 25 is in the ON state or the OFF state, the closing operation of the shutter S1 is quickly stopped by a single switch operation using the remote control transmitter 11. It is possible.
[0125]
(A-3) Effects of the first embodiment
As described above, according to the present embodiment, if the connection switch unit is turned off, the supply of power (PW1) to the operation detection unit and the procedure storage unit is stopped. It is also effective for prevention.
[0126]
Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to effectively cope with various situations that may occur in the mixed system, and even in an emergency, the user is not necessarily required to perform limited specific operations. Even if the switch operation is incorrect or inaccurate, the operation as intended by the user can be performed, and the operability is good and the reliability is high.
[0127]
(B) Second embodiment
Below, only the point from which this embodiment is different from 1st Embodiment is demonstrated.
[0128]
In the first embodiment, only the stop switch 33 (and the power switch 34) is always effective regardless of the operation of the power switch 34, and the other operation switches 31 and 32 are enabled or disabled according to the operation of the power switch 34. Although changed, the present embodiment is characterized in that a mode switching unit for controlling validity / invalidity of each operation switch is mounted inside the remote control transmitter.
[0129]
The mode switching unit functions as a priority control unit that enables at least one operation process corresponding to an operation having a high priority on a predetermined evaluation criterion regardless of the content of the operation process having a low priority. obtain.
[0130]
In addition, the mode switching unit can change the contents of the priority control more variously than the power switch 34 and the connection switch unit 25 of the first embodiment.
[0131]
(B-1) Configuration and operation of the second embodiment
FIG. 6 shows a configuration of main parts inside the remote control transmitter 61 according to the present embodiment. The external appearance of the remote control transmitter 61 is the same as that of the remote control transmitter 11 of the first embodiment as shown in FIG. However, since there is a difference in the functions of the operation switches 51 to 54, reference numerals different from those of the operation switches 31 to 34 of the first embodiment are given.
[0132]
Basically, the operation switch 51 of the present embodiment corresponds to the operation switch 31, the operation switch 52 corresponds to the operation switch 32, the operation switch 53 corresponds to the operation switch 33, and the operation switch 54 corresponds to the operation switch 32. This corresponds to the operation switch 34.
[0133]
In FIG. 6, the remote control transmitter 61 of this embodiment includes a wireless transmission unit 40, a signal generation unit 41, a processor 42, a procedure storage unit 43, an operation detection unit 44, a power operation detection unit 45, and a stop. An operation detection unit 47, a power supply unit 46, and a mode switching unit 55 are provided.
[0134]
Among these, the wireless transmission unit 40 corresponds to the wireless transmission unit 20 of the first embodiment, the signal generation unit 41 corresponds to the signal generation unit 21, the processor 42 corresponds to the processor 22, and the procedure storage unit 43. Corresponds to the procedure storage unit 23, the operation detection unit 44 corresponds to the operation detection unit 24, the stop operation detection unit 47 corresponds to the stop operation detection unit 27, and the power supply unit 46 corresponds to the power supply unit 26. To do.
[0135]
However, in the present embodiment, whether the functions of the units 40 to 43, 45, 47 are valid or invalid is controlled by the mode switching unit 55.
[0136]
The power operation detection unit 45 is a part for notifying the mode switching unit 55 that the operation switch (power switch) 54 has been pressed by the operation detection signal PS, and is basically the same as the stop operation unit 27. It may be a 1-bit flip-flop with a reset function. The validity / invalidity of the function of the power operation detection unit 45 is also controlled by the mode switching unit 55.
[0137]
The mode switching unit 55 is the only part that is directly supplied with power supply power from the power supply unit 46 in the remote control transmitter 61, and the supplied power supply power PW4 is a part whose function is effective at that time. Distribute only to Which part is effective is determined according to the operation mode.
[0138]
The mode switching unit 55 is also the only part that provides a substantial input (mode signal MD) to the processor 42. The mode signal MD may include information corresponding to the operation of the operation switches 51 to 53.
[0139]
In the present embodiment, the operation switches 51 and 52 are used to specify the operation mode.
[0140]
The operation mode includes a full valid mode in which all parts in the remote control transmitter 61 are valid, a partial valid mode in which only part is valid, and a full invalid mode in which all parts are invalid.
[0141]
The operation switch 51 is basically a switch for performing an opening operation of the shutter S1 similarly to the operation switch 31, and the operation switch 52 is a switch for performing a closing operation similarly to the operation switch 32. These operation switches 51 and 52 are different from the operation switches 31 and 32 in that they are also used for mode switching operation.
[0142]
In the mode switching operation, for example, when the operation switch 31 is pressed three times within the operation time, the all valid mode is indicated, and when the operation switch 32 is pressed three times, the all invalid mode is indicated, and the operation switch 31 → the operation switch 32 → the operation is performed. When each operation switch is pressed in the order of the switch 32, the partial effective mode is indicated.
[0143]
In order to avoid such a complicated mode switching operation, it is effective to take a means such as providing an operation switch dedicated to mode switching or providing a slide type switch. As described above, it should be noted that in many cases, the number of operation switches that can be provided in the remote control transmitter has a certain upper limit.
[0144]
In any case, in the remote control transmitter 61 of the present embodiment, it is necessary that at least only the mode switching operation can be detected at all times. Therefore, even in the all invalid mode, the mode switching unit 55, the procedure storage unit 43, Only the operation detection unit 44 needs to continue to supply power.
[0145]
Although it is disadvantageous from the viewpoint of power saving, it is disadvantageous to continue supplying power to the operation detection unit 44 and the procedure storage unit 43 that are likely to be configured by a TTL-type circuit with relatively large power consumption. In the partial effective mode in which the power can be saved in the embodiment, the remote controller is required to supply the power supply power PW2 and PW3 to all parts other than the operation detection unit 24 and the procedure storage unit 23. When compared with the power consumption of the entire transmitter, the all invalid mode of the present embodiment is more likely to reduce the power consumption than the partially valid mode of the first embodiment.
[0146]
In particular, the ability to stop power supply to the processor 42, the signal generation unit 41, and the wireless transmission unit 40 is considered to greatly contribute to power saving. This is because the power consumed by each of these units 40, 41, 42 is usually larger than the power consumed by the operation detection unit 44 and the procedure storage unit 43 in view of the scale and function of the circuit.
[0147]
The contents of the partial effective mode can be freely determined by setting processing for the mode switching unit 55. For example, only the stop switch 53 among the operation switches 51 to 54 is used. It is conceivable to make it effective, or to make only the stop switch 53 and the operation switch 51 effective.
[0148]
When the stop switch 53 is enabled in the partial effective mode, the mode switching unit 55 needs to supply power to at least the stop operation detection unit 47 in addition to the procedure storage unit 43 and the operation detection unit 44. .
[0149]
Of course, when the necessity for power saving is not high, power is supplied to all the electronic circuits in the remote control transmitter 61 even in the partially valid mode or the invalid mode, and the invalidated portion, for example, the all invalid mode is selected. When the signal (ST) is supplied from the stop operation detection unit 47 at the time, the signal may be invalidated in the mode switching unit 55 so that the processor 42 is not notified that the signal has been received.
[0150]
Further, in order to perform the operation of stopping the shutter S1 designated by the stop switch 53, unlike the mode switching operation in which the processing is completed only inside the remote control transmitter 61, wireless transmission of the wireless signal LS1 is necessary. Moreover, in order to obtain the operability as described above, it is necessary to transmit the radio signal LS1 designating the stop of the shutter S1 immediately after the operation of the stop switch 53. Therefore, the radio transmitter 40, the signal generator 41, There is a high possibility that it is necessary to supply power to the processor 42 as well.
[0151]
Assuming that power supply power is also supplied to the wireless transmission unit 40, the signal generation unit 41, and the processor 42, the power consumption of the present embodiment is greater than that of the first embodiment as long as the comparison is made in the partial effective mode. It will be.
[0152]
In the above description, the mode switching unit 55 is assumed to be hardware separate from the processor 42. However, the function of the mode switching unit 55 described above can also be realized in the processor 42 by software. It is.
[0153]
(B-2) Effects of the second embodiment
As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of the first embodiment.
[0154]
In addition, in the all invalid mode of the present embodiment, it is possible to further reduce the power consumption compared to the first embodiment.
[0155]
(C) Third embodiment
In the following, only the differences of the present embodiment from the first and second embodiments will be described.
[0156]
This embodiment is characterized in that electric power obtained by converting mechanical energy generated when a push button switch is pushed into electric energy is used as an emergency power source.
[0157]
(C-1) Configuration and operation of the third embodiment
The structure of the main part of this embodiment is shown in FIG.
[0158]
In FIG. 4, the piezoelectric part 70 is a part that can also function as the stop operation detecting part 47, but the pressure generated when the stop switch 33 (or 53) is pushed is converted into electric power by piezoelectric conversion, A function of outputting the power as a stop signal ST is provided.
[0159]
In this case, a flip-flop and a reset function that are included in the stop operation detection unit 47 in the piezoelectric unit 70 are unnecessary. Accordingly, not only in the all invalid mode, but also in the partially valid mode or the all valid mode, no power supply to the piezoelectric unit 70 is necessary.
[0160]
Further, if possible, the power of the stop signal ST output from the piezoelectric unit 70 may be used as power supply power in all or part of the mode switching unit 55, the processor 22, and the like.
[0161]
Note that not only the stop switch 33 but also the operation detection unit 24 of the operation switches 31 and 32 may be replaced with a piezoelectric unit similar to the piezoelectric unit 70.
[0162]
(C-2) Effects of the third embodiment
According to the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of the first and second embodiments.
[0163]
In addition, in the present embodiment, it is possible to further reduce the power consumption as compared with the all invalid mode of the second embodiment.
[0164]
(D) Fourth embodiment
In the following, only the differences of the present embodiment from the first and second embodiments will be described.
[0165]
(D-1) Configuration and operation of the fourth embodiment
The configuration of the main part of this embodiment is shown in FIG.
[0166]
In FIG. 5, the storage unit 81 is a section fixedly formed with respect to the main body 11A (or 61A) of the remote control transmitter 11 (or 61), and is made of a material having a certain degree of rigidity.
[0167]
The piezoelectric member 80 is a member fixedly provided with a predetermined piezoelectric element, and is held by a shaft member 82 so as to be rotatable in the arrow R1 direction.
[0168]
When a certain amount of sudden vibration is generated in the main body 11A of the remote control transmitter 11, the piezoelectric member 80 moves in the direction of the arrow R1 and collides with the storage portion 81, thereby generating electric power by the piezoelectric effect. This electric power is output as the stop signal ST.
[0169]
In the case of this embodiment, it is the same as that of the third embodiment in that power supply is unnecessary, but a more advantageous point is that the user does not need to perform a switch operation.
[0170]
Therefore, in this embodiment, when the user cannot remember which operation switch was the stop switch, for example, it is possible to lightly tap the main body 11A with a finger from the direction of the arrow D2 or to vibrate the main body slightly without performing the switch operation. It is possible to stop the ongoing shutter operation. The direction of the arrow D2 does not designate a strict direction. In short, it is sufficient if mechanical vibration is transmitted to the piezoelectric element in the piezoelectric member 80.
[0171]
The piezoelectric member 80 and the storage unit 81 of the present embodiment may be replaced with the stop switch 33 and the stop operation detection unit 27 (or the stop switch 53 and the stop operation detection unit 47). A switch may be provided in the same remote control transmitter as the stop switch 33 or the like.
[0172]
Further, the piezoelectric member 80, the storage portion 81, and the like may be replaced with a vibration sensor, a pressure sensor, or the like having a different form.
[0173]
(D-2) Effects of the fourth embodiment
According to the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of the first and second embodiments.
[0174]
In addition, in the present embodiment, it is possible to further reduce the power consumption as compared with the all invalid mode of the second embodiment.
[0175]
In addition, since no switch operation is required in the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably stop the ongoing shutter operation even when the user cannot remember which operation switch is the stop switch in an emergency.
[0176]
(E) Other embodiments
In the above first to fourth embodiments, the case where the present invention is applied to a mixed system has been described as an example. However, the present invention can also be applied to either a dedicated wireless remote control system or a wired remote control system. is there.
[0177]
When applied to a wired remote control system, the remote control transmitter is mounted on a predetermined mounting portion or the like and communicates with the remote control receiver via a wired transmission line as in the case of using the fixed operation unit AM. .
[0178]
Note that the remote control transmitter and remote control receiver of the first to fourth embodiments have the above-described configuration.
An ID registration function for registering an ID and an ID verification function for verifying the registered ID may be provided. The ID registration function can be installed in a processor (22 or the like) or a signal generation unit (21 or the like), and the ID verification function can be installed in a reception processing unit (15 or the like).
[0179]
Furthermore, in the first to fourth embodiments, the case where the closing operation of the shutter S1 is mainly described has been described. However, when the opening operation of the shutter S1 is stopped, the operation is substantially the same as the operation of stopping the closing operation. can do.
[0180]
In the first to fourth embodiments, the opening / closing control performed using the opening / closing control signal CS1 controls the opening / closing operation of the shutter. However, if the opening / closing body has a locking / unlocking function, In addition to the opening / closing operation, or in place of the opening / closing operation, locking / unlocking control includes the opening / closing operation.
[0181]
In the first embodiment, “avoidance of an obstacle event” is applied as the evaluation criterion, and a priority order for avoiding an obstacle event is given as a priority on the evaluation criterion. However, as other examples of the evaluation criteria, “crime prevention”, “wind shielding”, “escape” and the like can be applied.
[0182]
Here, avoidance of an event that becomes an obstacle can be realized by, for example, a stop and / or an opening operation for avoiding an obstacle during the closing operation. Depending on the structure of the shutter and the surrounding environment, it may be necessary to avoid obstacles during the opening operation. In this case, the obstacle may be caused by stopping and / or closing operation to avoid the obstacle during the opening operation. The avoidance of the event that becomes is realized.
[0183]
When “crime prevention” or “wind shielding” is applied as an evaluation criterion, the priority order is, for example, close operation priority, and when “escape” is applied, there is a high possibility of priority to open operation. The specific contents of the priorities are appropriately determined according to the purpose of use of the shutter, the surrounding environment, the structure of the shutter itself, and the like.
[0184]
In the first to fourth embodiments, only the operation switches 31 and 32 (or 51 and 54) have a meaning in the operation procedure, and the operation switch 33 (or 53) has no meaning in the operation procedure. However, except in an emergency, the operation switch 33 (53) may be given meaning to the operation procedure. Whether or not it is an emergency may be determined according to whether or not a switch operation is performed during the shutter operation.
[0185]
That is, when the switch operation is performed during the shutter operation, it is determined as an urgent switch operation, and when the switch operation is performed during the shutter stop, it is determined as the normal switch operation.
[0186]
Moreover, you may make it give meaning to the operation procedure of the operation switch 33 (53) also at the time of emergency as needed.
[0187]
Depending on the shape of the shutter (S1), the form of the shutter system, and how it is used, there may be a problem when the shutter is operating, and there are fewer problems when the shutter is stopped. The relationship here is the opposite. That is, when the switch operation is performed during the shutter operation, it is determined as a normal switch operation, and when the switch operation is performed during the shutter stop, it is determined as an emergency switch operation.
[0188]
In the first to fourth embodiments, a remote control transmitter (such as 11) corresponding to the non-opening / closing body-side communication device referred to in the present invention is equipped with many functions. Many functions may be mounted on the corresponding remote control receiver 12.
[0189]
In this case, the radio signal LS1 transmitted from the remote control transmitter simply indicates which operation switch of the operation switches (33 to 33) is pressed, and has the above-described procedure storage unit 23, mode switching unit 55, and the like. Relatively complicated functions will be installed on the remote control receiver.
[0190]
In the first to fourth embodiments, the radio signal is a radio wave of about 300 MHz or 400 MHz. However, the application range of the present invention is not limited to this. Higher and lower frequency radio waves may be used, and infrared rays may be used.
[0191]
Further, in the first and second embodiments, the operation switch is basically a PBS type switch, but the present invention is not limited to a PBS type switch. A slide-type switch, a rotary switch, or the like may be used, and various switches that respond to changes in pressure, temperature, static electricity, and the like can also be applied.
[0192]
In the first and second embodiments, the present invention is applied to the garage shutter, but the present invention can also be applied to shutters other than the garage shutter.
[0193]
Further, the present invention can be applied not only to a shutter but also to a mixed system of other opening / closing devices such as doors, windows, overhead doors, roll screens (for example, light shielding curtains), blinds, awning devices.
[0194]
In the above description, the direction of information flow is basically unidirectional from the remote control transmitter to the remote control receiver. However, the scope of the present invention is limited to such unidirectional communication. is not.
[0195]
That is, the remote control transmitter is replaced with an operation transmitter / receiver that is a remote operation transmitter / receiver instead of a transmission dedicated communication device, and the remote control receiver is not a reception dedicated communication device but a remote operated transmitter / receiver. It may be replaced with an operated transceiver to perform full-duplex communication or half-duplex communication as necessary.
[0196]
At this time, the signal included in the radio signal from the operation transmitter / receiver to the operated transmitter / receiver may be an operation state instruction signal instructing the shutter operation or the like, and conversely from the operated transmitter / receiver to the operation transmitter / receiver. The signal included in the wireless signal may be an operation state report signal for reporting the current state of the shutter operation.
[0197]
The operation state report signal indicates that the shutter operation state at that time is, for example, “fully open state”, “fully closed state”, “partially open state (partially opened and stopped)”, “ It may be a signal indicating that “opening operation”, “closing operation”, “abnormality occurrence”, or the like.
[0198]
In this case, by receiving the operation state report signal, the user of the operation transceiver can recognize that the shutter operation state is, for example, the “closing operation”.
[0199]
In addition, the operation transceiver can be replaced with a portable receiver, and the operated transceiver can be replaced with a fixed transmitter. In this case, the information flows in a single direction from the fixed transmitter toward the portable receiver. A system configuration in which only such unidirectional communication is always performed may be employed, or a system configuration in which such unidirectional communication can be performed only when necessary in accordance with communication direction mode switching.
[0200]
That is, the operation transmitter / receiver and the operated transmitter / receiver may be configured to perform such unidirectional communication only when necessary according to the communication direction mode switching.
[0201]
In the above description, the case where the switching body side communication device is a remote controlled device and the non-opening body side communication device is a remote control device has been described. However, the present invention can be applied only to this case. is not.
[0202]
There may be a case where the non-opening / closing body-side communication device is a reception-only device that performs only reception.
[0203]
This receiving-only device is for maintenance purposes, for example, and the operation management information (opening / closing position of the opening / closing member, the number of opening / closing operations, failure information related to opening / closing, etc.) Etc.), and the reception result may be displayed.
[0204]
As for the transmission timing at which the switching body side communication device transmits this operation management information, for example, the day of the week or the time is fixed in advance, or any timing at which a transmission instruction is given by wire is transmitted. It is also possible to set timing.
[0205]
Further, the specific content of the operation management information transmitted at the transmission timing may be fixedly determined in advance, or only the instructed content may be transmitted.
[0206]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, operability is good and reliability is high.
