Description

The present invention relates to an automatic door system, a control method for an automatic door system, a status inspection device for an automatic door system, and a control program for an automatic door system.

Automatic doors that have doors that open and close automatically are known. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a control device for a driven object such as an automatic door. This control device includes a drive unit, a calculation processing unit, a storage device, and a pulse generator. The calculation processing unit associates the absolute position of the driven object obtained from the resistance value of the variable resistor with a calculation value corresponding to the absolute position obtained from the number of pulses, and stores them in the storage device. The calculation processing unit controls the output of the drive unit based on these stored results. In other words, the operation of the driven object is first learned, and the absolute position of the driven object is determined from the obtained information and stored.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 06-137027

The present inventors have come to the following realization regarding power-on learning of an automatic door system.
An automatic door system using an incremental encoder performs power-on learning in which the door is operated when the power is turned on, and the position corresponding to the detection result of a sensor or the like that detects the door in a specified state is stored as a control parameter.

However, if an inappropriate position is mistakenly recognized as the reference position, this may cause problems with the normal operation of the automatic door system.
From the above, the inventors have recognized that there is room for improvement in automatic door systems in terms of avoiding erroneous recognition of the reference position.

The present invention was made in consideration of these problems, and one of its objectives is to provide an automatic door system that can avoid misidentification of the reference position.

In order to solve the above problems, an automatic door system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a control unit that controls a drive unit that drives the door to open and close, a position detection unit that detects when the door is at a specific position, an overload detection unit that detects whether the drive unit is in an overloaded state, and a setting unit that acquires door position information when the control unit drives the door to open or close, the overload detection unit detects an overload detection state, and the position detection unit detects a detection state, and sets this as a reference position for door control. The control unit controls the door based on the reference position set by the setting unit.

Another aspect of the present invention is also an automatic door system. This system includes a control unit that controls a drive unit that drives the door to open and close, a position detection unit that detects when the door is at a specific position, an overload detection unit that detects whether the drive unit is in an overloaded state, and a setting unit that obtains door position information when the overload detection unit enters an overload detection state after the control unit drives the door to open or close and the position detection unit enters a detection state, and sets this as a reference position for door control. The control unit controls the door based on the reference position set by the setting unit.

Yet another aspect of the present invention is a state inspection device for an automatic door system. This device includes an acquisition unit that acquires information from an overload detection unit that detects whether a drive unit that drives the automatic door to open and close is in an overload state and a position detection unit that detects that the door is in a specific position, and an inspection unit that inspects the state of the position detection unit based on the detection information from the overload detection unit and the detection information from the position detection unit acquired by the acquisition unit.

Yet another aspect of the present invention is a method for controlling an automatic door system. This method includes the steps of controlling a drive unit that drives the door to open or close to drive the door open or closed, acquiring door position information when the drive unit is in an overload detection state that detects whether or not the drive unit is in an overload state and the position detection unit that detects that the door is in a specific position is in a detection state, setting the door position information as a reference position for controlling the door, and controlling the door based on the reference position.

Yet another aspect of the present invention is a computer program. This program causes a computer to execute the steps of controlling a drive unit that drives the door to open or close to drive the door open or close, acquiring door position information when the drive unit is in an overload detection state that detects whether or not the drive unit is in an overload state and the position detection unit that detects that the door is in a specific position is in a detection state, setting the door position information as a reference position for controlling the door, and controlling the door based on the reference position.

In addition, any combination of the above, or mutual substitution of the components or expressions of the present invention among methods, devices, programs, temporary or non-temporary storage media recording programs, systems, etc. are also valid aspects of the present invention.

The present invention provides an automatic door system that can avoid misidentification of the reference position.

[First embodiment]
The configuration of an automatic door system 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view showing the automatic door system 100 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the automatic door system 100.

The functional blocks shown in FIG. 2 can be realized in hardware terms by electronic elements and mechanical parts, such as a computer CPU, and in software terms by computer programs, but here we have depicted functional blocks that are realized by the cooperation of these. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that these functional blocks can be realized in various ways by combining hardware and software.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the automatic door device 100 includes a drive unit 10, a position detection unit 20, an activation sensor 22q, and a control unit 30. The automatic door device 100 opens and closes a door 12 for opening and closing an opening 84 in a wall 82. In the example of Fig. 1, the door 12 is a sliding door that is driven to open and close in a horizontal movable direction. The drive unit 10 includes a drive mechanism 14 and a door engine 16, and moves the door 12. The door engine 16 is controlled by the control unit 30, and functions as a power source that opens and closes the door 12 via the drive mechanism 14. The control unit 30 controls the drive unit 10 to perform a learning operation when the power is turned on and a normal operation for operating the door 12 normally.

The activation sensor 22q is attached to the door frame 80 or the like, and detects the presence or absence of a passing object such as a person. In this embodiment, the activation sensor 22q detects the presence of an object in the vicinity of the doorway where the door 12 moves to open and close, and provides the detection result to the control unit 30. The activation sensor 22q can, for example, project infrared rays and detect the presence of an object according to the reflected light. The activation sensor 22q may be provided on both the inside and outside of the opening 84. When the activation sensor 22q detects a passing object in the activation area set in the vicinity of the doorway, the automatic door device 100 controls the door engine 16 to open and close the door 12.

The door engine 16 includes a motor (not shown) that drives the drive mechanism 14, a drive circuit (not shown) that drives the motor, an encoder 16e, and a current sensor 16c. The encoder 16e is an incremental type encoder that transmits a rotation signal to the control unit 30, the number of pulses of which is proportional to the rotation angle of the motor. The current sensor 16c detects the drive current of the motor and transmits it to the control unit 30.

The door 12 is a rectangular door with a door tip 12p and a door end 12s, and is a fitting that blocks the opening 84. The door 12 may be made of glass, for example. The opening 84 is provided in the wall 82 and has an opening width narrower than the width of the door 12. The opening 84 is provided with a vertical frame 86p against which the door tip 12p abuts when the door 12 is fully closed. The wall 82 is provided with a door stopper 86s against which the door hanger 12h that moves integrally with the door end 12s abuts when the door 12 is fully opened. In other words, the door 12 moves left and right in the figure between the position where the door tip 12p abuts the vertical frame 86p and the position where the door end 12s side of the door hanger 12h abuts the door stopper 86s. As an example, the door stopper 86s may be provided at a predetermined position of the guide rail 14b. Note that it is not essential to provide the door stopper 86s, and the door stopper 86s does not have to be provided. In this case, the position detection unit 20, which will be described later, will only detect the fully closed position. In other words, the position detection unit 20 only needs to be provided in at least one of the fully closed and fully open positions of the door 12.

The position detection unit 20 detects that the door 12 is in a specific position. Information acquired from the position detection unit 20 (hereinafter referred to as "acquired information") is transmitted to the control unit 30 via a transmission path (not shown). There is no limitation on the number and specific positions of the position detection units 20, but in this embodiment, the fully closed position or the fully open position is the specific position. The fully closed position is a position where the door end 12p contacts the vertical frame 86p when the door 12 is fully closed. The fully open position is a position where the door hanger 12h contacts the door stopper 86s when the door 12 is fully open. The position detection unit 20 may be a physical switch, sensor, etc., as long as it can detect that the door 12 is in a specific position. The position detection unit 20 may include multiple sensors arranged at different positions in the movement direction of the door 12. In this embodiment, the position detection unit 20 includes a fully closed sensor 20p provided on the door end 12p side and a fully open sensor 20s provided on the door end 12s side. The transmission path may be a data bus or a network.

The fully closed sensor 20p functions as a limit switch that detects when the door 12 is in the fully closed position. For example, the fully closed sensor 20p is provided on the vertical frame 86p, and turns on when the door end 12p is in contact with the fully closed sensor 20p, and turns off when there is no contact. The fully open sensor 20s functions as a limit switch that detects when the door 12 is in the fully open position. For example, the fully open sensor 20s turns on when the door hanger 12h is in contact with the door stopper 86s, and turns off when there is no contact.

As an example, the position detection unit 20 can be configured to include a reed switch that turns on (closed) when a magnet (not shown) provided at the door end 12p or the door tail 12s approaches, and turns off (open) when the magnet moves away.

The control unit 30 controls the drive unit 10 to perform a normal operation for operating the door 12 normally. The control unit 30 also controls the drive unit 10 to perform a learning operation when the power is turned on. In particular, when the control unit 30 causes the drive unit 10 to perform a learning operation when the power is turned on, if the position detection unit 20 is in a detection state when the overload detection unit 30h detects an overload, and the detection result of the position detection unit 20 differs between the time when the overload was detected and either before or after the time when the overload was detected, the control unit 30 ends the learning operation and performs normal operation.

In addition, when the control unit 30 causes the drive unit 10 to perform a learning operation upon power-on, if the position detection unit 20 is in a detection state when the overload detection unit 30h detects an overload, and if there is no change in the detection result of the position detection unit 20 between the time when the overload was detected and either before or after the time.

A specific description will be given. In the learning operation, the door 12 is moved at a speed slower than the movement speed of the door 12 in normal operation to learn the origin position for control, and the origin position is set as the control parameter. In this example, the control is performed using a reference position Ps, which will be described later, as the origin position. The control unit 30 performs a state inspection to determine whether the position detection unit 20 is normal or not during the learning operation. In this sense, the learning operation can also be said to be an operation for inspecting the state of the position detection unit 20. After learning the origin position, the control unit 30 controls the drive unit to end the learning operation and perform normal operation. The control unit 30 controls the opening and closing operation of the door 12 based on the set control parameters. The control unit 30 also functions as a state inspection device 40 that includes an inspection unit 30p that inspects the position detection unit 20 for abnormalities. The inspection unit 30p also includes an abnormality detection unit 30s that detects abnormalities in the position detection unit 20. The inspection unit 30p and the abnormality detection unit 30s will be described later.

(normal operation)
First, the opening and closing operation of the door 12 in normal operation will be described. Normal operation is an operation in which the door 12 is operated normally to provide the user with the automatic opening and closing operation that an automatic door is intended to perform. In normal operation, as an example, when the open activation signal turns on in response to the detection result of the activation sensor 22q, the door performs an opening operation and stops in the fully open position. This stopped state continues for a predetermined period set in the open timer. After the period ends, the door performs a closing operation and stops in the fully closed position. Once it has stopped in the fully closed position, it waits in that state until a new open activation signal turns on. The automatic door device 100 repeatedly performs this opening and closing operation in normal operation.

Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the speed transition of the door 12 during normal operation. In this figure, the horizontal axis shows the position of the door 12, and the vertical axis shows the speed of the door 12. In the closing operation, the door 12 is controlled according to the position of the door 12, which is specified based on the number of pulses of the encoder 16e from the origin position, from the fully open position to the fully closed position. In this example, the door 12 accelerates from a stopped state to a high-speed first speed, moves at a constant speed at the first speed, decelerates from a predetermined deceleration start position Dp to a low-speed second speed, slowly approaches the fully closed position at the second speed, and stops when the door end 12p abuts against the vertical frame 86p. This constant speed movement is not limited to a strictly constant speed movement, and may be approximately constant speed including some fluctuation. In this way, the deceleration start position Dp is set for the door 12 to avoid high-speed collisions. The second speed is sometimes called a low-speed approach speed. During the opening operation, the fully open and fully closed positions are reversed, and the door 12 stops when the door hanger 12h abuts against the door stopper 86s. The average speed at which the door 12 moves from the fully open position to the fully closed position is called the average movement speed of the door 12 during normal operation. The average movement speed is calculated by dividing the movement distance of the door 12 during this operation by the movement time.

(Learning Operation)
An overview of the learning operation will be described. The learning operation is an operation for performing power-on learning. Power-on learning (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as "learning") is a function for automatically performing an opening or closing operation at a low speed when the power is turned on (on) to start up, detecting the origin position, and automatically setting the origin position as a control parameter. In this embodiment, the learning operation includes a low-speed movement operation that is performed when the power is turned on, and a stroke measurement operation that is performed in a predetermined case, which will be described later. The low-speed movement operation is an operation for moving the door 12 at a speed slower than the movement speed of the door 12 in normal operation (hereinafter, simply referred to as "movement speed").

In the low-speed movement operation, when the power is turned on, the control unit 30 moves the door 12 at a low speed to the fully closed side stop position or the fully open side stop position (collectively referred to as the "door stop position") and recognizes the door stop position. In this specification, the term "door stop" refers to the door 12 coming into contact with an obstacle such as the door stopper 86s, vertical frame 86p, or foreign object and stopping its movement. If the door stop position is determined to be appropriate, the control unit 30 sets the door stop position as the origin position in the control parameters, ends the learning operation, and performs normal operation. If the door stop position cannot be determined to be appropriate, the control unit 30 goes through a predetermined process described below and ends the learning operation and performs normal operation.

In the stroke measurement operation, the control unit 30 moves the door 12 in the opposite direction at a low speed for a predetermined distance, detecting the door stop position on the opposite side. If the movement distance of the door 12 from the door stop position to the opposite door stop position (hereinafter referred to as the "door stop span Sd") is equal to or greater than the reference distance, the control unit 30 sets the door stop position as the origin position as a control parameter, ends the learning operation, and performs normal operation. If the door stop span Sd is shorter than the reference distance, the control unit 30 stores the door stop span Sd in the memory unit 30m as a tentative stroke, ends the learning operation, and performs normal operation. The predetermined distance in the stroke measurement operation is the door stop span Ss of the door 12 when there is no foreign object.

If the movement speed of the door 12 in the low-speed movement operation is too fast, a collision will occur at the door stop position, and if it is too slow, the waiting time will be long and usability will be poor. From this perspective, the movement speed of the door 12 in the learning operation may be equal to or lower than the average movement speed, preferably equal to or lower than 50% of the maximum speed of the first speed, and more preferably equal to or lower than the second speed. In this case, the impact when the door 12 comes into contact with the vertical frame can be reduced. Also, from the perspective of reducing the learning waiting time, the movement speed of the door 12 in the learning operation may be equal to or higher than 50% of the second speed.

(Control Unit)
Next, a description will be given of the configuration of the control unit 30. The control unit 30 includes a sensor signal acquisition unit 30b, a current acquisition unit 30c, a rotation signal acquisition unit 30d, a first acquisition unit 30e, a second acquisition unit 30f, an engine control unit 30g, an overload detection unit 30h, a learning unit 30j, a determination unit 30k, a memory unit 30m, an output unit 30n, an inspection unit 30p, a setting unit 30q, and an abnormality detection unit 30s.

The sensor signal acquisition unit 30b acquires the detection result from the activation sensor 22q. As described above, the control unit 30 controls the opening and closing operation of the door 12 based on the acquisition result of the sensor signal acquisition unit 30b. The engine control unit 30g controls the door engine 16.

The current acquisition unit 30c acquires the detection result of the motor drive current from the current sensor 16c of the door engine 16. The magnitude of the motor drive current is roughly proportional to the load torque of the motor. The control unit 30 can calculate the load torque of the motor by multiplying the magnitude of the acquired drive current by a predetermined constant. For example, when the door 12 is fully closed and the door end 12p is abutting against the vertical frame 86p, or when the door 12 is fully open and the door hanger 12h is abutting against the door stopper 86s, the load torque increases significantly.

The rotation signal acquisition unit 30d acquires a rotation signal with a number of pulses according to the rotation angle of the motor from the encoder 16e of the door engine 16. This number of pulses is proportional to the movement distance of the door 12. Furthermore, the period of the pulses from the encoder 16e is inversely proportional to the movement speed of the door 12. The control unit 30 counts the number of pulses of the acquired rotation signal and can calculate the movement distance of the door 12 by multiplying the count result by a predetermined constant. The control unit 30 can calculate the movement speed of the door 12 based on the period of the pulses from the encoder 16e. The control unit 30 can detect the door stop according to the speed calculated from the number of pulses of the output pulses of the encoder 16e and the voltage applied to the motor. Specifically, the control unit 30 detects the door stop when the overload detection unit 30h described later detects an overload.

The first acquisition unit 30e and the second acquisition unit 30f acquire information on whether or not the door 12 is in a specific position from the position detection unit 20. In this embodiment, the first acquisition unit 30e acquires information on whether or not the door end 12p is in contact with the vertical frame 86p from the full-close sensor 20p. The second acquisition unit 30f acquires information on whether or not the door hanger 12h is in contact with the door stopper 86s from the full-open sensor 20s. The control unit 30 can determine whether or not the door 12 is in the fully closed position or the fully open position from the acquired results.

The overload detection unit 30h detects whether the drive unit 10 is in an overload state. The overload detection unit 30h in this embodiment determines whether the door 12 is in the fully closed side stop position or the fully open side stop position based on the magnitude of the drive current of the motor and the pulse change of the rotation signal. The fully closed side stop position is the position where the door 12 stops when the door 12 is moved in the closing direction. The fully open side stop position is the position where the door 12 stops when the door 12 is moved in the opening direction. In this embodiment, when the drive current exceeds a predetermined value and the pulse of the rotation signal does not change for a predetermined period, the overload detection unit 30h determines that the door 12 is stopped in contact with the vertical frames 86p, 86s and that the door 12 is in the fully closed side stop position or the fully open side stop position (door stop position).

The learning unit 30j learns the origin position for control based on the judgment result of the overload detection unit 30h. The control unit 30 can calculate the absolute position of the door 12 in the width of the opening 84 based on the relative movement distance of the door 12 from the origin position identified by learning. Any position within the movement range of the door 12 can be used as the origin position. In this embodiment, the fully closed position or the fully open position is used as the origin position.

(Settings section)
First, an outline of the operation of the setting unit 30q will be described. The setting unit 30q sets the position information of the door 12 acquired when a predetermined state is reached as a reference position Ps for control, and the control unit 30 controls the door 12 based on the reference position Ps set by the setting unit 30q. In one aspect, the setting unit 30q acquires position information of the door 12 when the control unit 30 drives the door 12 to open or close, the overload detection unit 30h enters an overload detection state, and the position detection unit 20 enters a detection state, and sets the position information as the reference position Ps for control of the door 12.

In another aspect, the setting unit 30q acquires position information of the door 12 when the overload detection unit 30h enters an overload detection state after the control unit 30 drives the door 12 to open or close and the position detection unit 20 enters a detection state, and sets this as the reference position Ps for controlling the door 12. Furthermore, when the setting unit 30q determines that the detection result of the position detection unit 20 is different between the time when the position detection unit 20 entered the detection state and the time before that, it acquires position information of the door 12 at the aforementioned time.

In addition, when the overload detection unit 30h detects an overload and the position detection unit 20 is not in a detection state, or when there is no change in the detection result of the position detection unit 20 between the time when the position detection unit 20 is in a detection state and either before or after the time, the setting unit 30q sets the reference position Ps based on the position information of the door 12 when the overload detection unit 30h detects an overload while driving the door 12 to open, and the position information of the door 12 when the overload detection unit 30h detects an overload while driving the door 12 to close. This will be explained in detail below.

The fully closed position or the fully open position is the doorstop position detected by the overload detection unit 30h, and the setting unit 30q in this example sets the doorstop position determined by the overload detection unit 30h as the reference position Ps, and if this position is appropriate, uses the set reference position Ps as an appropriate origin position for control. This setting result is stored in the memory unit 30m.

When a foreign object 14f gets caught in the guide rail 14b or other travel path of the door 12, the foreign object 14f may impede the movement of the door 12, and the position may be mistaken for the door stop position, resulting in an incorrect setting of the reference position Ps. For this reason, the control unit 30 of this embodiment has a determination unit 30k that determines whether the set reference position Ps is appropriate. In particular, the determination unit 30k determines whether the reference position Ps set by the setting unit 30q is appropriate based on the acquired information of the fully closed sensor 20p and the fully open sensor 20s acquired by the first and second acquisition units 30e and 30f.

When the reference position Ps is the fully closed side stop position, the judgment unit 30k judges that the reference position Ps is appropriate when the fully closed sensor 20p is on, and judges that the reference position Ps is inappropriate when the fully closed sensor 20p is off. When the reference position Ps is the fully open side stop position, the judgment unit 30k judges that the reference position Ps is appropriate when the fully open sensor 20s is on, and judges that the reference position Ps is inappropriate when the fully open sensor 20s is off.

If the reference position Ps is determined to be appropriate, the control unit 30 stores that position as the correct origin position, ends the learning operation from the low-speed movement operation, and performs normal operation. If the reference position Ps is determined to be inappropriate, the control unit 30 transitions from the low-speed movement operation to the stroke measurement operation. These determination results are stored in the memory unit 30m.

For example, if the position detection unit 20 malfunctions and is always on or always off, an inappropriate reference position Ps is erroneously set as a control parameter. If the door 12 opens or closes based on the erroneously set control parameter, the deceleration start position Dp may shift, and the door 12 may collide with the vertical frame before it is sufficiently decelerated. For this reason, the control unit 30 has an inspection unit 30p that inspects the position detection unit 20 for abnormalities during learning.

In this embodiment, the inspection unit 30p determines that the position detection unit 20 is normal if the acquired information of the position detection unit 20 changes from on to off or off to on during a low-speed movement operation, and determines that the position detection unit 20 is abnormal if the acquired information of the position detection unit 20 does not change. During a closing operation, the inspection unit 30p determines that the fully closed sensor 20p is normal if the fully closed sensor 20p changes from off to on while the door 12 is moving to the fully closed position, and determines that it is abnormal if there is no change.

During the opening operation, the inspection unit 30p determines that the full-open sensor 20s is normal if it changes from off to on while the door 12 is moving to the fully open position, and determines that there is an abnormality if there is no change. These determination results are stored in the memory unit 30m. If the position detection unit 20 is determined to be abnormal, the control unit 30 transitions to a stroke measurement operation.

In the above-mentioned inspection unit 30p, the function of detecting an abnormality in the position detection unit 20 based on information from the overload detection unit 30h and the position detection unit 20 constitutes the abnormality detection unit 30s. Therefore, when the above-mentioned operation is explained from the aspect of the abnormality detection unit 30s, it can be specified as follows.

The abnormality detection unit 30s determines that the position detection unit 20 is abnormal based on the detection state of the position detection unit 20 when the overload detection unit 30h enters the overload detection state. The abnormality detection unit 30s also determines that the position detection unit 20 is abnormal based on the overload detection state of the overload detection unit 30h when the position detection unit 20 enters the detection state. The abnormality detection unit 30s also determines that the position detection unit 20 is abnormal when there is no change in the detection result of the position detection unit 20 between the time when the overload detection unit 30h enters the overload detection state and either before or after that.

From another perspective, the inspection unit 30p also functions as an acquisition unit 30p that acquires information from the overload detection unit 30h and the position detection unit 20. The inspection unit 30p inspects the state of the position detection unit 20 based on the detection information of the overload detection unit 30h and the detection information of the position detection unit 20 acquired as an acquisition unit.

The memory unit 30m stores control parameters such as reference positions Ps, such as the fully open position and the fully closed position, the opening stroke of the door 12 from fully closed to fully open, and the speed control pattern of the door 12.

When the position detection unit 20 is judged to be abnormal, it is desirable to notify the operator of the judgment result. For this reason, this embodiment is provided with an output unit 30n that outputs predetermined information to the outside when the abnormality detection unit 30s detects an abnormality. In this example, the output unit 30n outputs the predetermined information to the outside when the information acquired by the position detection unit 20 does not change during learning. Specifically, the output unit 30n outputs the judgment result to the outside when the judgment unit 30k judges that the position detection unit 20 is abnormal. As an example, the output unit 30n may display the judgment result on a display device (not shown) provided near the automatic door device 100, or may transmit the judgment result to an information terminal or server installed in a remote location via a communication medium such as the Internet.

An example of the operation of the automatic door system 100 configured as above will now be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the automatic door system 100. This figure shows the process S80 in which the learning operation at power-on is terminated and normal operation is performed after the slow movement operation. Here, an example is described in which the position detection unit 20 is inspected by the closing operation of the slow movement operation, with the fully closed position as the reference position Ps. The operation of inspecting the position detection unit 20 by using the fully open position as the reference position Ps is the reverse operation of this explanation, with the open/close positions swapped, and the position detection unit 20 can be inspected by the opening operation of the slow movement operation.

Process S80 is started by turning on the automatic door device 100. When process S80 is started, the control unit 30 moves the door 12 in the closing direction at a low speed (step S81). As described above, the movement speed of the door 12 in the low speed movement in the learning operation is a speed lower than the average movement speed in normal operation, and may be the same as the second speed, for example.

When step S81 is executed and the door 12 is driven in the closing direction, the control unit 30 detects whether the door has stopped (step S82). In this step, as described above, the control unit 30 determines whether the door has stopped based on whether the overload detection unit 30h has detected an overload, depending on the speed calculated from the number of output pulses from the encoder 16e and the voltage applied to the motor.

If there is no door stop in step S82 (N in step S82), the control unit 30 returns the process to the beginning of step S81 and repeats steps S81 to S82.

If the door 12 is stopped in step S82 (Y in step S82), the control unit 30 judges whether the door 12 has moved (step S83). In this step, the control unit 30 monitors the output pulse of the encoder 16e to judge whether the position of the door 12 has changed. For example, the control unit 30 judges that the door 12 has moved if there has been a position change, and judges that the door 12 has not moved if there has not been a position change (same below). Separate inspections are performed for the cases where the door 12 has moved and the cases where it has not moved.

If the door 12 has moved in step S83 (Y in step S83), the control unit 30 determines whether the full-close sensor 20p has changed from off (OFF) to on (ON) (step S84).

In step S84, if the full-close sensor 20p changes from off to on (Y in step S84), the control unit 30 determines that the full-close sensor 20p is normal (step S85). If the control unit 30 determines that the full-close sensor 20p is normal, it ends the learning operation and performs normal operation (step S86). In other words, the control unit 30 ends the learning operation and performs normal operation when the information acquired by the position detection unit 20 changes. In other words, the change in the information acquired by the position detection unit 20 is a trigger to transition to normal operation. In normal operation, the door 12 is opened and closed when the activation sensor 22q detects a passing object in the activation area.

In step S84, if the full-close sensor 20p does not change from off to on (N in step S84), the control unit 30 determines that the full-close sensor 20p is abnormal (step S87). In this case, the control unit 30 executes a stroke measurement operation by low-speed operation (step S88). In this step, the control unit 30 measures the movement stroke (doorstop span Sd) of the door 12 in the opening direction to the doorstop position (full-open side stop position) by a low-speed opening operation that moves the door 12 in the opening direction at a speed slower than the above-mentioned average movement speed.

In step S88, if the doorstop span Sd is equal to or greater than the reference distance, the setting unit 30q in the control unit 30 sets the doorstop position as the reference position Ps as a control parameter, ends the learning operation, and performs normal operation. If the doorstop span Sd is shorter than the reference distance, the control unit 30 stores the doorstop span Sd in the memory unit 30m as a tentative stroke, ends the learning operation, and performs normal operation.

If the door 12 has not moved in step S83 (N in step S83), the control unit 30 determines whether the full-close sensor 20p is on (ON) (step S89).

In step S89, if the full-close sensor 20p is not on (N in step S89), the control unit 30 determines that the full-close position diagnosis is abnormal (step S90). In this case, the control unit 30 executes a stroke length measurement operation by low-speed operation (step S94). In this step, the control unit 30 measures the stroke (doorstop span Sd) of the door 12 in the closing direction to the doorstop position (full-close side stop position) by a low-speed opening operation that moves the door 12 in the closing direction at a speed slower than the average moving speed described above.

In step S94, if the doorstop span Sd is equal to or greater than the reference distance, the setting unit 30q in the control unit 30 sets the doorstop position as the reference position Ps as a control parameter, ends the learning operation, and performs normal operation. If the doorstop span Sd is shorter than the reference distance, the control unit 30 stores the doorstop span Sd in the memory unit 30m as a tentative stroke, ends the learning operation, and performs normal operation.

In step S89, if the full-close sensor 20p is on (Y in step S89), the control unit 30 provisionally determines that the full-close position diagnosis is normal (step S91). In this case, the control unit 30 moves the door 12 in the opening direction at a low speed (step S92). Note that the movement speed of the door 12 in this step may be the same as the low speed movement in step S81, and may be the same as the second speed, for example.

When the door 12 is moved in the opening direction at a low speed in step S92, the control unit 30 determines whether the full-close sensor 20p has changed from on (ON) to off (OFF) (step S93). If the full-close sensor 20p has changed from on to off in this step, the full-close sensor 20p is normal, and if not, it is abnormal.

In step S93, if the full closure sensor 20p does not change from on to off (N in step S93), the full closure sensor 20p is abnormal, and the control unit 30 executes a stroke measurement operation at a low speed (step S94). The process of step S94 is as described above.

In step S93, if the full closure sensor 20p changes from on to off (Y in step S93), the full closure sensor 20p is normal, and the control unit 30 ends the learning operation and performs normal operation (step S86). The processing in step S86 is as described above.

Process S80 ends when the learning operation is terminated and normal operation is resumed. The above-described process S80 is merely an example, and other steps may be added, some steps may be changed or deleted, or the order of steps may be changed.

The features of the automatic door system 100 configured as above will be described. The automatic door system 100 specified from one aspect of the present disclosure includes a control unit 30 that controls the drive unit 10 that drives the door 12 to open and close, a position detection unit 20 that detects that the door 12 is in a specific position, an overload detection unit 30h that detects whether the drive unit 10 is in an overload state, and a setting unit 30q that acquires position information of the door 12 when the control unit 30 drives the door 12 to open or close, the overload detection unit 30h detects an overload state, and the position detection unit 20 detects an overload state, and sets the position information of the door 12 as a reference position Ps for controlling the door 12, and the control unit 30 controls the door 12 based on the reference position Ps set by the setting unit 30q.

With this configuration, the overload is not only detected by the overload detection unit 30h, but also the detection state of the position detection unit 20 is used to make the judgment, so that the position where the overload is detected due to the foreign object 14f being caught is prevented from being mistaken for the reference position (origin position).

An automatic door device 100 specified from another aspect of the present disclosure includes a control unit 30 that controls a drive unit 10 that drives the door 12 to open and close, a position detection unit 20 that detects that the door 12 is in a specific position, an overload detection unit 30h that detects whether the drive unit 10 is in an overload state, and a setting unit 30q that acquires position information of the door 12 when the overload detection unit 30h enters an overload detection state after the control unit 30 drives the door 12 to open or close and the position detection unit 20 enters a detection state, and sets the position information of the door 12 as a reference position Ps for controlling the door 12, and the control unit 30 controls the door 12 based on the reference position Ps set by the setting unit 30q.

With this configuration, the position detector 20 determines whether an overload has occurred after the detection state is reached, which prevents the position where an overload has been detected due to the foreign object 14f being caught from being mistaken for the reference position (origin position).

In the automatic door system 100, the setting unit 30q further acquires the position information of the door 12 at the time when it determines that the detection result of the position detection unit 20 is different between the time when the position detection unit 20 entered the detection state and the time before that. In this case, it determines whether the detection result of the position detection unit 20 has changed, thereby preventing misidentification of the reference position Ps due to an abnormality in the position detection unit 20.

In the automatic door device 100, the control unit 30 drives the door 12 to close or open if there is no change in the position of the door 12 when the control unit 30 drives the door 12 to open or close, and the setting unit 30q acquires the position information of the door 12 at the time when it determines that the detection result of the position detection unit 20 is different between the time when the position detection unit 20 is in a detection state and thereafter. In this case, it is determined whether the detection result of the position detection unit 20 changes, thereby preventing misidentification of the reference position Ps due to an abnormality in the position detection unit 20.

In the automatic door device 100, when the overload detection unit 30h detects an overload and the position detection unit 20 is not in a detection state, or when there is no change in the detection result of the position detection unit 20 between the time when the position detection unit 20 is in a detection state and either before or after the time when the position detection unit 20 is in a detection state, the setting unit 30q sets the reference position Ps based on the position information of the door 12 when the overload detection unit 30h detects an overload while driving the door 12 to open, and the position information of the door 12 when the overload detection unit 30h detects an overload while driving the door 12 to close. In this case, even if the position detection unit 20 is abnormal, the reference position Ps can be set by overload detection and stroke measurement.

In the automatic door device 100, the control unit 30 controls the drive unit 10 to drive the door 12 to open and close at a slower speed than the normal opening and closing speed until the reference position Ps is set. In this case, driving at a slower speed can prevent collisions with people or objects in the vicinity during position learning.

In the automatic door system 100, the position detector 20 is provided at least in either the fully closed or fully open position of the door 12. In this case, the detection state of the position detector 20 can be utilized, so that the position detected as an overload due to the foreign object 14f being caught can be prevented from being mistaken for the reference position.

In the automatic door system 100, the position detection unit 20 includes multiple sensors that are arranged at different positions in the direction of movement of the door 12. In this case, even if one sensor is abnormal, the remaining sensors can still detect the position.

The automatic door device 100 is equipped with an overload detection unit 30h and an abnormality detection unit 30s that detects abnormalities in the position detection unit 20 based on information from the position detection unit 20. In this case, the position detection unit 20 can be inspected for abnormalities at the same time as the reference position Ps is set.

In the automatic door device 100, the abnormality detection unit 30s determines that there is an abnormality in the position detection unit 20 based on the detection state of the position detection unit 20 when the overload detection unit 30h detects an overload. In this case, the abnormality in the position detection unit 20 can be inspected.

In the automatic door device 100, the abnormality detection unit 30s determines that the position detection unit 20 is abnormal based on the overload detection state of the overload detection unit 30h when the position detection unit 20 enters a detection state. In this case, the position detection unit 20 can be inspected for abnormalities.

In the automatic door system 100, the abnormality detection unit 30s determines that the position detection unit 20 is abnormal when there is no change in the detection result of the position detection unit 20 between the time when the overload detection unit 30h detects an overload and either before or after that. In this case, the position detection unit 20 can be inspected for abnormalities.

The automatic door system 100 is equipped with an output unit that outputs specific information to the outside when the abnormality detection unit 30s detects an abnormality. In this case, the operator can be notified that an abnormality has been detected.

Below, second to fourth embodiments of the present invention will be described. In the drawings and explanations of the second to fourth embodiments, the same components and members as those of the first embodiment will be given the same reference numerals. Explanations that overlap with the first embodiment will be omitted as appropriate, and the explanation will focus on the configurations that differ from the first embodiment.

[Second embodiment]
The second embodiment of the present invention is a control method for an automatic door system. This control method includes the steps of controlling a drive unit 10 that drives the door 12 to open or close, acquiring position information of the door 12 when the drive unit 10 is in an overload detection state that detects whether the drive unit 10 is in an overload state and the position detection unit 20 that detects that the door 12 is in a specific position is in a detection state, setting the position information of the door 12 as a reference position for controlling the door 12, and controlling the door 12 based on the reference position. This configuration makes it possible to prevent erroneous setting of control parameters due to an abnormality in the position detection unit 20.

[Third embodiment]
A third embodiment of the present invention is a state inspection device 40 for an automatic door system.

This configuration makes it possible to prevent erroneous setting of control parameters due to an abnormality in the position detection unit 20.

[Fourth embodiment]
The fourth embodiment of the present invention is a control program (computer program) for an automatic door system. The control program according to the present invention can be used for various automatic door systems, but in this embodiment, it is exemplified by a computer program P100 that controls an automatic door system 100 that includes a drive unit 10, a position detection unit 20, a start sensor 22q, and a control unit 30 and that opens and closes a door 12 for opening and closing an opening 84 in a wall 82.

The computer program P100 causes a computer to execute the steps of controlling the drive unit 10, which drives the door 12 to open or close, to drive the door 12 to open or close, acquiring position information of the door 12 when the drive unit 10 is in an overload detection state, which detects whether the drive unit 10 is in an overload state, and the position detection unit 20, which detects that the door 12 is in a specific position, is in a detection state, setting the position information of the door 12 as a reference position for controlling the door 12, and controlling the door 12 based on the reference position.

In the computer program P100, these functions may be installed in the storage (e.g., memory unit 30m) of the automatic door system 100 as an application program in which multiple modules corresponding to the functional blocks of the automatic door system 100 are implemented. The computer program P100 may be read into the main memory of a processor (e.g., a CPU) of a computer constituting the control unit 30 of the automatic door system 100 and executed.

The configuration of the fourth embodiment provides the same effects and advantages as the first embodiment.

The above provides a detailed explanation of examples of the embodiments of the present invention. All of the above-mentioned embodiments merely show specific examples of how to put the present invention into practice. The contents of the embodiments do not limit the technical scope of the present invention, and many design changes, such as changing, adding, or deleting components, are possible within the scope of the idea of the invention defined in the claims. In the above-mentioned embodiments, the contents for which such design changes are possible are explained using notations such as "in the embodiment" and "in the embodiment," but this does not mean that design changes are not permitted for contents without such notations.

[Modification]
The following describes the modified examples. In the drawings and description of the modified examples, the same components and members as those in the embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals. Explanations that overlap with the embodiment will be omitted as appropriate, and the description will focus on the configurations that are different from the first embodiment.

In the description of the first embodiment, an example was shown in which a fully closed sensor 20p and a fully open sensor 20s are provided as the position detection unit 20 in addition to the activation sensor 22q, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the functions of the fully closed sensor and the fully open sensor as the position detection unit 20 may be realized by the activation sensor 22q.

The detection area of the activation sensor 22q is composed of a plurality of small detection areas arranged in the opening/closing direction of the door 12 and in the front-rear direction perpendicular thereto, and the plurality of small detection areas constituting the row closest to the door 12 in the front-rear direction may be configured to be able to detect the positions of the door end 12p and the door tail 12s of the door 12 in the doorway. The activation sensor 22q may project infrared light onto the doorway or the door 12 and detect the positions of the door end 12p and the door tail 12s according to the reflected light. The control unit 30 may determine that the door 12 is in the fully closed position or the fully open position when the door end 12p and the door tail 12s are in a predetermined position based on the detection result of the activation sensor 22q. In this case, the configuration is simpler and more cost-effective than when a fully closed sensor 20p and a fully open sensor 20s are provided separately.

As an example, a mark may be provided on the door 12 or the doorway, and the activation sensor 22q may project infrared light onto the mark on the door 12 and detect the positions of the door end 12p and door trailing edge 12s according to the reflected light. This mark may be a reflector or label attached to the door trailing edge 12s side of the door 12, or the mark may have letters or symbols printed on it. The activation sensor 22q may have an image sensor for detecting the mark on the door 12 or the doorway.

The control unit 30 may perform machine learning of the relationship between the position of the door 12 and the detection result of the activation sensor 22q, generate a position estimation model, and store it in the memory unit 30m. The control unit 30 may determine whether the door 12 is in the fully closed position or the fully open position based on the position estimation model stored in the memory unit 30m and the detection result of the activation sensor 22q. By using the position estimation model, the fully closed position and the fully open position can be recognized with high accuracy. In addition, the mark provided on the door 12 or the doorway described above may be used for this machine learning. In this case, the mark may be removed or left after the machine learning. By performing machine learning using the mark, the learning accuracy can be improved.

When the start sensor 22q is used as a full-close sensor or a full-open sensor, the control unit 30 may change the deceleration start position Dp so that the distance traveled at the second speed is longer when the start sensor 22q decelerates from the first speed to the second speed in normal operation after the learning operation is completed. By lengthening the distance traveled at the second speed, it is possible to prevent the door end 12s or the door end 12p of the door 12 from contacting the vertical frame 86p or the door stopper 86s in a state where the door 12 is not sufficiently decelerated due to an error between the actual full-closed or full-open position and the determined full-closed or full-open position that occurs when the start sensor 22q detects the position of the door end 12p or the door end 12s and determines the full-closed or full-open position. In addition, the control unit 30 may change the deceleration start position Dp only for the first opening or closing operation after the transition to normal operation or only for a predetermined number of opening and closing operations after the transition to normal operation, and may return the deceleration start position Dp to the original setting in the subsequent closing or opening operations when the door span Sd measured by the operation is equal to or greater than the reference distance.

In the explanation of the first embodiment, an example was shown in which the fully closed sensor 20p and the fully open sensor 20s are provided separately, but the present invention is not limited to this. The position detection unit 20 may include multiple fully closed sensors 20p or multiple fully open sensors 20s. For example, by providing two fully closed sensors 20p and comparing the two detection results, if they match, the fully closed sensor 20p can be diagnosed as normal, and if they do not match, the fully closed sensor 20p can be diagnosed as abnormal.

In the description of the first embodiment, an example was shown in which the position detection unit 20 includes a fully closed sensor 20p and a fully open sensor 20s, but the present invention is not limited to this. The position detection unit 20 may include only one of the fully closed sensor 20p and the fully open sensor 20s.

In the description of the first embodiment, an example was shown in which the door 12 can move in the closing direction when the power is turned on, but the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention can also be applied to the case where the door 12 is in a door jam when the power is turned on. For example, if the door 12 is in a door jam at the fully closed side stop position when the power is turned on and the fully closed sensor 20p is on, the control unit 30 moves the door 12 in the opening direction by a learning operation, and when the fully closed sensor 20p changes from on to off, the position detection unit 20 may determine that it is normal, immediately end the learning operation, and perform normal operation. In particular, when the fully closed sensor 20p changes from on to off, the control unit 30 may use the change as a trigger to end the learning operation and perform normal operation. In this case, the learning operation can be ended in a short time and normal operation can be restored, so the learning wait time can be shortened.

In the explanation of the first embodiment, an example was given in which the door stop position was determined based on the drive current of the motor and the pulses of the rotation signal, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may be determined whether the door 12 is at the door stop position based on either the drive current of the motor or the pulses of the rotation signal, or on another physical quantity.

In the description of the first embodiment, an example was given in which the specific position for the position detection unit 20 was the fully closed position or the fully open position, but the present invention is not limited to this. This specific position may be another position between the fully closed position and the fully open position. For example, this specific position may be set to correspond to the deceleration start position Dp in normal operation, or may be the deceleration start position Dp.

In the explanation of the first embodiment, an example was given in which the door stop position was set as the origin position for control, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a specific position related to the position detection unit 20 may be set as the origin position for control.

Each of the above-mentioned modifications provides the same effects and advantages as the first embodiment.

Any combination of the above-described embodiments and modifications is also useful as an embodiment of the present invention. The new embodiment resulting from the combination has the combined effects of each of the combined embodiments and modifications.
