DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shutter control device for controlling the opening and closing of architectural shutters, and more particularly to the technical field of a signal transmitted from a shutter control device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, shutter control devices for controlling the opening and closing of architectural shutters include, for example, interlocking with an electric lock, and a transfer means for connecting to a remote control device, a home automation (HA) device, or the like. A notification signal such as position information of a shutter is notified to a partner device. However, there are various types of devices connected to the shutter control device, and a different signaling signal is required for each device. Therefore, in order to handle all of these with one type of control device, all types of devices are required. It is necessary to provide the transfer means only for the number of transfer signals, which not only increases the cost but also causes a risk of connection error and the like. Also, if a dedicated control device is prepared for each device to be connected, management costs will increase due to the variety of devices, and if the device to be connected changes after the shutter is installed, the shutter control device must be removed and replaced. A situation that must be solved has been a problem.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been created to solve such a problem, and has a simple structure, but notifies the outside from a transfer means according to the device connected to the shutter. It is an object of the present invention to provide a shutter control device capable of switching the content (type) of a transfer signal. Further, by setting the transfer signal notified from the transfer means to be switched in conjunction with the switching of the operation mode which regulates the opening and closing operation of the shutter, a setting error at the time of selection switching can be prevented. It is an object to provide a control device.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and controls opening and closing of architectural shutters and uses position information and the like of the shutters as a transfer signal as an external signal. A shutter control device having a transfer means for notifying the transfer signal, wherein the transfer signal notified from the transfer means can be selectively switched from a plurality of preset transfer signals. is there. By doing so, an appropriate transfer signal can be notified according to the device connected to the shutter, so that not only one type of control device can cope with many types of devices, but also First, there is no need to replace the shutter control device even if the connected device is changed after the installation and wiring of the shutter are completed.

[0005] A shutter control device for controlling the opening and closing of an architectural shutter, wherein an operation mode for defining an opening and closing operation of the shutter can be selectively switched from a plurality of operation modes set in advance. In a shutter control device having a transfer means for notifying the position information of the shutter and the like to the outside as a transfer signal, a transfer signal notified from the transfer means is set in advance in conjunction with selection switching of the operation mode. Since the selection is switched among a plurality of transmission signals, the selection of the transmission signal (type) is automatically switched in conjunction with the selection switching of the operation mode that regulates the opening / closing operation of the shutter. Therefore, there is no risk of a setting error as compared with a case where the operation mode and the transfer signal are separately switched. In short, in the architectural shutter, the opening / closing operation (for example, the push-off operation only when descending) and the connected device (the partner device for notifying the transfer signal) are uniformly performed depending on the installation location and application. In many cases, the setting is determined, and in such a case, the convenience of switching in conjunction with each other is higher than performing the setting switching individually.

[0006]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is an electric shutter 1,
The opening and closing of the opening is performed by winding and unwinding the shutter curtain 4 around the winding shaft 3 that is laid in the shutter case 2 above the opening. On the winding shaft 3,
An electric switch 5 for driving the winding shaft 3 forward and reverse is provided therein, and the electric switch 5 is provided with a control panel 6 for driving and controlling the electric switch 5 (corresponding to a control device of the present invention). Is installed. The opening and closing of the electric shutter 1 is controlled by a control signal from a remote management device 7 installed in a building management room or the like (not shown).
In response to the transfer signal (fully open signal and fully closed signal) from the control panel 6, the open / closed indicator light 73 and the closed indicator light 74 are turned on so that the open / closed state of the shutter can be known. A seat switch 4a is provided at the lower end of the shutter curtain 4.
And an obstacle detection transmitter 9b. When the shutter comes in contact with an obstacle while the shutter is descending, a predetermined obstacle avoiding operation such as stopping the shutter is performed. Reference numeral 9a denotes a remote control transmitter 9a used when performing opening / closing control at hand without performing the opening / closing control by the remote management device 7 described above.

Next, the configuration and operation of the control panel 6 and various devices connected to the control panel 6 will be described. Control panel 6
Is a control unit 60 composed of a one-chip microcomputer, a transfer contact relay 61 having two sets of a contacts for notifying a transfer signal (corresponding to a transfer means of the present invention), an operation mode and a transfer mode described later. Changeover switch 6 for selecting and switching the notification signal

7), the receiving tuner 66, the electric switch 5
Relay 65 for driving the interface device I /
F and a power supply unit (not shown).
The control panel 6 includes a remote control device 7 described above, an electric switch 5, a position detector 8 that rotates in conjunction with the electric switch and sends position data of the shutter curtain 4 to the control panel 6, and a transmitter 9 a. , 9b for receiving signal radio waves from
Is connected.

The control section 60 has written therein operation programs and the like for a plurality of operation modes and a plurality of transfer signals, and sets three sets of DIP switches constituting the changeover switch 62 (combination of ON / OFF). ) Is switched to a predetermined operation mode, and is selectively switched to a transfer signal corresponding to the operation mode. In the embodiment, by switching the changeover switch 62 to a predetermined position, the operation mode is switched to a remote operation mode (for controlling opening and closing of a shutter from a remote position such as a management room of a building), and a push-off operation is performed. (The shutter moves only while the open / close switch is pressed, in other words, only while the open / close signal is coming.)
The transfer signal is selectively switched so that a fully open signal and a fully closed signal are notified.

The other operation modes include an electric lock mode for installing an electric lock, an HA mode for controlling opening and closing of a shutter by a home automation system, a self-holding mode, a push-down mode when descending, and the like. It is possible to selectively switch to various operation modes. In addition, the preset transfer signal is a fully open signal,
A make-contact output type in which a signal is turned on at a corresponding position or state, and a break which is turned off, for a fully closed signal, an open signal, a closed signal, and a signal during operation. A contact output type is set, respectively, and two types of notification signals selected and switched from these are notified. (In the embodiment, there are two types of transfer signals to be notified from the transfer means. However, the present invention is not limited to this.) Further, since the transfer means is a contact, the break contact output type is used. Is the control unit 60
The control signal is turned on and off and inverted for control.

The opening operation of the electric shutter 1 in the embodiment configured as described above will be described.
When the release switch 71 provided on the remote management device 7 is continuously operated, an open signal is continuously transmitted to the control panel 6, and the electric switch 5 is driven by a drive signal from the control panel 6 to open the shutter. Done. And the electric shutter 1
However, when it reaches the fully open position, the control unit 60 determines that it has reached the fully open position based on a signal from the position detector 8, stops driving the electric switch 5, and sends a transfer signal (full open) from the transfer contact relay 61. Signal is transmitted to the remote management device 7, and the open indicator 73 (or the closed indicator 74) is turned on.

In the present embodiment, the switching of the selection of the broadcast signal is interlocked with the switching of the operation mode, but each of them may be independently switched. In addition, the selection is switched by a dip switch. For example, an operation by a combination of open / close signals from a remote control transmitter (or a three-point push button switch) (open, close, open after pressing stop for 10 seconds). Pressing etc.) may be made possible. Further, the type of the transfer signal is not limited to the present embodiment, and may be, for example, a signal indicating that an arbitrary set position has been reached, a signal indicating a certain section, or a predetermined time after reaching the fully open or fully closed position. A signal that only turns on, an abnormal signal that indicates overheating of the electric switchgear, and the like can be appropriately used. The same applies to the operation mode.
