JP6293624B2 - Electric shutter with mechanical evacuation stop - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to an electric shutter capable of lowering its own weight by releasing a brake in a fire, and more particularly to an electric shutter with a mechanical evacuation stop device.

In the fire shutter, an automatic closing device is actuated by a signal from the disaster prevention panel in the event of a fire to release the brake, and the shutter curtain is lowered by its own weight to close the opening of the building. Further, the fire shutter can release the brake by the operation from the manual closing device regardless of the fire detection signal, and the weight can be lowered. The fire prevention shutter is provided with a so-called evacuation stop device in order to prevent an evacuee from being caught by a shutter curtain that falls under its own weight.

A mechanical evacuation stop device that mechanically stops the shutter curtain that descends due to its own weight. Move the brake to release the shutter curtain to lower its weight. When the obstacle is removed after the shutter is temporarily stopped, the shutter curtain descends again by its own weight and closes the opening (Patent Document 1).

Fire prevention shutters include a controlled shutter that normally opens and closes the shutter by driving an opening and closing mechanism, and in the event of a fire, uses an automatic closing device to lower its weight. The mechanical evacuation stop device for such a combined shutter needs to be able to handle the electric lift of the shutter. Specifically, it is necessary to detect an obstacle during electric descent by the obstacle detection mechanism of the mechanical evacuation stop device and to electrically control the detection. In addition, when a fire signal is input when the shutter is electrically opened and closed, it is necessary to switch to the self-weight drop mode.

Patent Document 2 discloses a shutter device that mechanically recovers and stops the brake when it comes into contact with an obstacle when the weight is lowered, and detects the electric switch with a micro switch and electrically controls the stop during the electric drop. It was. However, it has a complicated structure that spans two wires from the seat plate.

Patent Document 3 discloses a shutter that is stopped by a single wire laid in a U-shape by a mechanical stop at the time of falling by its own weight and an electrical control at the time of electric drop. However, with this structure, the brake is released and returned using the automatic closing device, so if the wire is pulled too much at the time of return, the automatic closing device is completely restored (relocked) and the obstacle There is a risk that it will not be possible to re-fall after it has been removed. Therefore, a mechanism for adjusting and limiting the amount of wire pulling is required, resulting in a complicated configuration. (Because the operating positions of the brake release lever release operation and the return operation of the switch vary depending on each switch) There was a problem that necessary adjustment was necessary.

[A] Overall configuration of electric shutter with mechanical evacuation stop device As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the shutter device includes a shutter curtain 1 that closes the opening, and a shutter curtain 1 that is positioned above the opening. A winding shaft 2 to be wound and guide rails 3 provided upright on both right and left ends of the opening are provided. The shutter curtain 1 is configured by vertically connecting a plurality of elongated slats extending in the opening width direction, and a seat plate 4 is provided at the lower end. The take-up shaft 2 is rotatably supported between left and right brackets 13 provided so as to be brought out from the housing 12. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an opening / closing machine 5 is provided at a position near one side of the opening width direction above the opening. The opening / closing machine 5 is attached to a bracket 13 on one side in the opening width direction. In the illustrated embodiment, a shutter provided with a simple case for fire prevention is housed in the ceiling 14, but the shutter is housed in a square shutter box (not shown) attached to the housing. You may do it. At normal times, the shutter curtain 1 is electrically driven up and down by opening and closing the winding shaft 2 by the opening / closing device 5 to open and close the opening. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the seat plate 4 is a long upper seat plate 40 extending in the opening width direction, and is suspended below the upper seat plate 40 so as to be movable up and down relatively with respect to the upper seat plate 40. As will be described later, the seat plate 4 is an obstacle detection means for detecting an obstacle when the shutter curtain 1 that is electrically lowered or its own weight is lowered hits the obstacle. It is one component.

The shutter device includes an automatic closing device 6 that lowers the shutter curtain 1 by its own weight in the event of a fire and an operation unit 7 (brake release / return device). In the illustrated embodiment, the automatic closing device 6 and the operating portion 7 are separated from each other, and the automatic closing device 6 and the operating portion 7 are mechanically connected via a wire W1 (extending in the outer cable W1 ′). When the fire signal is input, the automatic closing device 6 operates and pulls the wire W1, so that the operating portion 7 enters the brake release posture and the brake of the switch 5 is released. In addition, regardless of whether it is an electric descent or a self-weight descent, stoppage of the descent of the shutter curtain 1 when the shutter curtain 1 being closed hits an obstacle is via the operating unit 7 (in the case of electric descent). The operation of the micro switch SW1 is performed, and in the case of the weight drop, the brake release lever 50 is mechanically restored). Specific configurations of the automatic closing device 6 and the operating unit 7 will be described in detail later.

The shutter device includes a control unit, and as will be described later, different control is performed in an electric opening / closing mode (normal mode) and a self-weight drop mode (fire mode). In the present embodiment, the control unit includes an obstacle detection control panel 11A and a shutter control panel 11B. As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the operation unit 7 and the obstacle detection control panel 11A are electrically connected, and the obstacle detection control panel 11A and the shutter control panel 11B are electrically connected. The manual closing device 10 and the obstacle detection control panel 11A are electrically connected. At the time of electric lifting, an opening signal, a closing signal, and a stop signal based on an input from the manual closing device 10 are transmitted to the shutter control panel 11B via the obstacle detection control panel 11A. In the illustrated embodiment, the obstacle detection control panel 11A and the shutter control panel 11B are physically separated, but the control unit has the functions of the obstacle detection control panel 11A and the shutter control panel 11B. One control unit may be used. The control unit will be described in detail later. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the sensor 6a and the disaster prevention board 6b, the disaster prevention board 6b, and the automatic closure apparatus 6 are each electrically connected.

When the opening is fully opened (stored), the shutter curtain 1 is wound around the winding shaft 2 in a state where the lowering is restricted by a brake that is a component of the opening / closing device 5. When a fire occurs in this state, the fire is detected by the fire detector 6a, the automatic closing device 6 is activated by the fire detection signal from the disaster prevention panel 6b, and the operating unit 7 is brought into a brake releasing posture via the wire W1. (In this embodiment, the first operating body 73 moves to the brake release position via the second operating body 74), and the brake of the opening / closing machine 5 is released. When the brake is released, the shutter curtain 1 descends by its own weight while being guided by the groove portion of the guide rail 3 at both ends in the width direction, and the opening is fully closed by the seat plate 4 landing. At this time, the shutter curtain 1 is lowered at a speed adjusted by the action of a speed governor (governor) built in the opening / closing device 5.

The brake release lever 50 protrudes from the brake case of the opening / closing machine 5 (see FIG. 6). By moving the brake release lever 50 by the brake release body (the first operating body 73 in this embodiment), the opening / closing machine 5 and The brake that restricts the rotation of the winding shaft 2 is released. In an electric shutter, a switch including a brake and a brake release lever for releasing the brake are well known. In a specific example, the brake means includes a brake plate that is slidably opposed to a switch output shaft or a rotating member that rotates integrally with the output shaft. The brake plate is pressed against by the urging means, and the brake works to restrict the rotation of the winding shaft. By swinging the brake release lever against the spring, the brake plate is separated and the brake is released, the winding shaft can be rotated, and the shutter curtain is lowered by its own weight. If the brake release lever is made free, the brake plate is pressed by the spring as the urging means so that the brake and the brake release lever are automatically returned. That is, the brake of the opening / closing machine 5 is forcibly released by the movement of the brake release lever, and is returned by the urging means when the forcible force by the brake release lever is released.

The shutter device is equipped with a so-called evacuation stop device, and when the seat plate 4 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 falling under its own weight hits an obstacle and detects the obstacle, the brake of the switch 5 is returned via the return wire. Thus, the descent of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped. The return wire is composed of a first wire W2 and a second wire W3. In the upper part of the opening, a relay device 8 is provided on the side where the opening / closing machine 5 in the opening width direction is installed, and the seat plate 4 has an opening width direction so as to be positioned below the relay device 8.

It is connected so that it can be wound around. The second wire W3 is drawn out so as to extend along the surface portion of the shutter curtain 1 as the shutter curtain 1 is lowered. The lock device 9 is provided on the upper seat plate 40, and the lower seat plate 41 of the shutter curtain 1 that is being lowered hits an obstacle and moves upward relative to the upper seat plate 40, whereby a return wire (second wire W3) is obtained. ) Is mechanically regulated, and the brake release body (first operating body 73) is pulled in the brake return direction by the return wire (second wire W3 + first wire W2) in which the drawer is restricted. . In this way, when the lower seat plate 41 of the shutter curtain 1 that is falling under its own weight hits an obstacle, the brake release body (first operating body 73) is set by the return wire (second wire W3 + first wire W2). Is moved to the brake return position to stop the weight drop of the shutter curtain 1.

When the obstacle is removed, the return wire can be pulled out, the brake release body (first operating body 73) moves in the brake release direction, and the shutter curtain 1 is lowered again by its own weight. In addition, after the obstacle is removed, the timing when the shutter curtain 1 descends again by its own weight is delayed. As will be described later, even when the seat plate 4 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 during electric lowering hits an obstacle, the brake release body (first operating body 73) by the return wire (second wire W3 + first wire W2) is used. ) Is detected, and the shutter curtain 1 during the electric descent is stopped.

By the side wall 751 pushed out to the left side, the side wall 741 of the second operating body 74 is pushed out to the left side, and the second operating body 74 moves to the left side. The right side 742 of the second operating body 74 is in contact with the right end of the first coil spring 76 from the right side, and the side 742 of the second operating body 74 moves to the right, whereby the first coil spring 76 is moved. Then, the side 731 of the first operating body 73 is pushed to the left, and the pressing piece 736 of the side 731 moves the brake release lever 50 to the left (first direction) to release the brake ( FIG. 16). At this time, the sum of the elastic forces of the two first coil springs 76 is larger than the urging force of the brake release lever 50 (the return force provided by the return means built in the opening / closing machine 5). In the state as it is, 76 overcomes the urging force of the brake release lever 50 and moves to the left, and moves the brake release lever 50 to release the brake. By releasing the brake, the shutter curtain 1 starts its own weight drop. 23A shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 in the state of FIG. 11, and FIG. 23B shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 in the state of FIG. It can be seen that as the first operating body 73 moves from the steady position in the first direction, the first wire W2 of the return wire is pulled downward and the rotating body 80 rotates.

When the second operating body 74 moves from the steady position in FIG. 11 to the position in FIG. 16 as the third operating body 75 moves in the first direction, the second micro switch SW2 changes from OFF to ON, and the obstacle An operation confirmation signal is transmitted to the detection control panel 11A, the push button operation from the manual operation unit becomes invalid, and the movement is stopped when the shutter curtain 1 is being electrically opened and closed. The first micro switch SW1 is in the ON state.

When the seat plate 4 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 falling under its own weight hits an obstacle and detects the obstacle, the wire W2 is pulled to the right and the first operating body 73 is moved to the right while compressing the first coil spring 76. Moving. When the pressing piece 736 on the right side 731 of the first operating body 73 moves to the right side, the force for pressing the brake release lever 50 to the left side (brake release direction) is released, and the brake release lever 50 becomes free. The brake and brake release lever 50 is returned by the return means (spring member) built in the brake (FIG. 17). The shutter curtain that is falling under its own weight stops when the brake returns. At this time, only the first coil spring 76 is compressed, and the second operating body 74 and the third operating body 75 do not move. After the obstacle is removed, the return wires (first wire W2, second wire W3) can be pulled out, the first coil spring 76 extends to the state shown in FIG. 16, the brake is released, and the shutter curtain. 1 drops again. FIG. 23C shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 in the state of FIG. In FIG. 23C, it can be seen that the second wire W3 of the return wire is pulled downward from the state of FIG. 23B, and the rotating body 80 is rotated to pull the first wire W2. The state of FIG. 23C is the same as the steady position, and is substantially the same as FIG. FIG. 23D shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 when the operating unit 7 returns to the state of FIG. 16 (during its own weight drop), and is substantially the same as the posture of FIG. is there. In the state of FIG. 17, the first micro switch SW1 remains in the ON state, and the second micro switch SW2 remains in the ON state.

When it is desired to manually stop the shutter curtain that has been manually lowered by weight, when the lever 103 of the manual closing device 10 is pulled forward, the wire W4 connected to the third operating body 75 is pulled to the right side, The third operating body 75 moves to the right while compressing the second coil spring 77. In the state of FIG. 16, the extension force of the second coil spring 77 that holds the brake release lever 50 in the brake release position by overcoming the return means (spring member) that moves the brake release lever 50 in the return direction is released. The brake release lever 50 moves to the right side with the first operating body 73 and the second operating body 74 by the force of the return means on the opening / closing machine side, and the brake and brake release lever 50 returns (specifically, In FIG. 11, the brake release lever 50 and the pressing piece 736 return to the state where they are in light contact with each other). The shutter curtain that is falling under its own weight stops when the brake returns. In this way, the brake release lever 50 returns to the position shown in FIG.

In the present embodiment, in the obstacle detection when the weight is lowered, the first operating body 73 at the brake return position moves in the second direction to reach the steady position, so that the brake release lever 50 returns and the switch The brake of 5 is reset. Here, it is conceivable that the first operating body 73 moves further in the second direction beyond the steady position before the brake returns due to aging deterioration, adjustment error, or the like. At this time, the first micro switch SW1 is switched from the ON state to the OFF state by the movement of the first operating body 73 in the second direction. Here, even when the dead weight is being lowered, the obstacle detection signal is input to the obstacle detection control panel 11A. After the obstacle detection, it can be electrically controlled and stopped.

[D] Control Unit In the electric shutter with a mechanical evacuation stop device according to the present invention, different control is performed in the electric open / close mode (normal mode) and the self-weight drop mode (fire mode). During normal electric opening and closing, the operation control of the shutter curtain 1 is performed in the normal mode. When a dead weight is lowered by inputting a fire detection signal to the automatic closing device 6 or a manual closing operation from the manual closing device 10, the control mode is changed from the normal mode to the dead weight lowering mode, and the operation control of the shutter curtain 1 is performed in the own weight lowering mode. Is called. In the present embodiment, the control unit includes an obstacle detection control panel 11A and a shutter control panel 11B. Details will be described below.

[D-1] Electric Open / Close Mode In the normal mode, the shutter curtain 1 is electrically opened / closed by a push button operation from the manual closing device 10. More specifically, when the opening switch U is pressed in the fully closed state or half-opened state of the opening, a signal is transmitted to the shutter control panel 11B via the obstacle detection control panel 11A, and the opening / closing machine 5 operates to wind the winding. The take-up shaft 2 is rotated in the first direction and raised while winding the shutter curtain 1 (FIG. 37 (1)). When the shutter curtain 1 is raised, the second wire W3 is wound around the winding drum 91. When the shutter curtain 1 rises to a preset upper limit position, the upper limit switch is activated, the operation of the switch 5 is stopped, the rotation of the winding shaft 2 is stopped, and the winding of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped. If the shutter curtain 1 does not stop at the upper limit due to a failure of the limit switch LS or the like, the emergency switch 18 is activated to stop the opening of the shutter curtain 1 by the switch 5.

When the closing switch D is pressed in the fully open state or half open state of the opening, a signal is transmitted to the shutter control panel 11B via the obstacle detection control panel 11A, and the opening / closing machine 5 is operated to move the winding shaft 2 to the second position. The shutter curtain 1 is lowered by rotating in the direction (FIG. 37 (2)). When the shutter curtain 1 is lowered, the second wire W <b> 3 is drawn from the winding drum 91 while extending along the surface portion of the shutter curtain 1. When the lower seat plate 41 at the lower end of the lowering shutter curtain 1 hits an obstacle, the lower seat plate 41 moves upward relative to the upper seat plate 40, and the lock device 9 regulates the withdrawal of the second wire W3. When the upper seat plate 40 moves downward with respect to the lower seat plate 41, the second wire W3, which is controlled to be pulled out, is pulled, and the first wire W2 is pulled via the relay device 8, so that the first operating body is moved. 73 moves from the steady position in the second direction (right side in the figure), the first micro switch SW1 is turned from ON to OFF, and an obstacle detection signal (seat plate operation signal) is transmitted to the obstacle detection control panel 11A. The Upon receiving the obstacle detection signal, the obstacle detection control panel 11A stops the operation of the switch 5 for a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) via the shutter control panel 11B, and then operates the switch 5 to operate the shutter curtain. 1 is raised for a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) (touch-up) and then stopped ((3) in FIG. 37). Thereafter, by pressing the closing switch D of the manual closing device 10, the shutter curtain 1 can be lowered again electrically.

When the lower seat plate 41 of the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 that is electrically lowered is landed, the lower seat plate 41 is moved upward relative to the upper seat plate 40, and the lock device 9 restricts the drawing of the second wire W3, When the upper seat plate 40 moves downward relative to the lower seat plate 41, the second wire W <b> 3 whose withdrawal is restricted is pulled, the first wire W <b> 2 is pulled via the relay device 8, and the first operating body 73. Moves from the steady position in the second direction (right side in the figure), the first micro switch SW1 is turned from ON to OFF, and an obstacle detection signal is transmitted to the obstacle detection control panel 11A. Upon receiving the obstacle detection signal, the obstacle detection control panel 11A stops the operation of the switch 5 and stops the descent of the shutter curtain 1 via the shutter control panel 11B (FIG. 37 (2)). The timer is activated when the shutter curtain 1 is lowered to a preset lower limit position during electric lowering, and the touch-up is not performed when an obstacle detection signal is output during the timer operation. If the obstacle detection signal is not output during the timer operation, the operation of the opening / closing machine 5 is stopped via the obstacle detection control panel 11A and the shutter control panel 11B when the timer ends, and the winding shaft 2 rotates. To stop. In particular, when a sensitive setting is made such that the first micro switch SW1 operates at a position where the first operating body 73 slightly moves, the weight of the second wire W3, the friction between the second wire W3 and the lock drum 90, The second wire W3 is instantaneously pulled down by the force of the mainspring spring housed in the winding drum 91, the inertia of each device, etc., and the first operating body 73 moves in the second direction at the start of the electric descent. It is also conceivable that the first micro switch SW1 operates. For this reason, the control device has a function of preventing control such as stopping when the first micro switch SW1 is operated within a certain period of time immediately after the start of the electric descent. In order to prevent malfunctions such as accidentally ignoring obstacles at the time of subsequent re-descent, a function to extend the operation time of reverse rise after detecting obstacles and temporarily stopping is provided as necessary It can be selected.

[D-2] When the automatic closing device 6 is activated by the input of a fire detection signal from the self-weight drop mode disaster prevention panel 6b, the wire W1 is pulled to move the second operating body 74 from the steady position to the first direction (in the drawing). The first operating body 73 moves in the first direction as the second operating body 74 moves in the first direction, and the brake is released. When the tension of the wire W4 is relieved by the pressing operation of the emergency closing switch 102 of the manual closing device 10, the third operating body 75 moves from the steady position in the first direction (left side in the figure), and the third As the operating body 75 moves in the first direction, the second operating body 74 and the first operating body 73 move in the first direction to release the brake. When the second operating body 74 moves from the steady position in the first direction, and the second micro switch SW2 is turned from OFF to ON, an operation confirmation signal is continuously output from the operating section 7 to the obstacle detection control panel 11A. Then, the obstacle detection control panel 11A changes from the electric open / close mode (normal mode) to the self-weight drop mode (fire mode) by receiving the operation confirmation signal. When the obstacle detection control panel 11A enters the self-weight drop mode, the electric opening / closing operation (push button operation for electric opening / closing) from the opening switch U, the closing switch D, and the stop switch S of the manual closing device 10 is invalidated. .

When the lower seat plate 41 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 that is falling under its own weight hits an obstacle, the lower seat plate 41 moves up relative to the upper seat plate 40 and the lock device 9 restricts the second wire W3 from being pulled out. Then, when the upper seat plate 40 moves downward with respect to the lower seat plate 41, the second wire W3 whose withdrawal is restricted is pulled, the first wire W2 is pulled via the relay device 8, and the brake release position. The first actuating body 73 that has moved to the second position moves in the second direction toward the steady position, the brake of the opening / closing machine 5 is restored, and the shutter curtain 1 during its own weight lowering stops. When the obstacle is removed, the lower seat plate 41 that has moved upward is allowed to move downward, the restriction of pulling out the second wire W3 is released, the first coil spring 76 is extended, and the first operating body 73 is braked. After moving to the release position, the brake of the opening / closing machine 5 is released by the brake release lever 50, and the shutter curtain 1 is lowered again by its own weight ((3) in FIG. 38). When the lower seat plate 41 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 under its own weight descends, the lower seat plate 41 moves upward relative to the upper seat plate 40, and the lock device 9 restricts the drawing of the second wire W3. When the upper seat plate 40 moves downward with respect to the lower seat plate 41, the second wire W3, which is controlled to be pulled out, is pulled, and the first wire W2 is pulled via the relay device 8, so that the first operating body is moved. 73 moves from the brake release position to the steady position, and the brake returns. The brake of the opening / closing machine 5 is restored, and the shutter curtain 1 under its own weight is stopped to be fully closed ((3) in FIG. 38).

If the first operating body 73 further moves in the second direction beyond the steady position before the brake returns due to aging deterioration, adjustment error, etc., the first micro switch SW1 is turned from ON to OFF. Thus, the obstacle detection signal is transmitted to the obstacle detection control panel 11A (at the time of a power failure, the obstacle detection signal is not transmitted). At this time, when energization is effective when the dead weight is lowered, the obstacle detection control panel 11A that has received the obstacle detection signal operates the switch 5 via the shutter control panel 11B to open the shutter curtain 1. Alternatively, it may be stopped after being raised for a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) from the reception of the obstacle detection signal (dotted line in FIG. 38 (3)).
In addition, the self-weight lowering mode is (when only the automatic closing device 6 is activated or when both the automatic closing device 6 and the manual closing device 10 are activated, the automatic closing device 6 is restored, and the manual closing device 10 When only the manual operating device 10 is operating, the second operating body 74 of the operating unit 7 returns to the steady position and the second micro switch SW2 changes from the ON state to the OFF state. Although the mode is changed, a dedicated mode return switch for returning from the self-weight drop mode to the electric opening / closing mode may be provided in the box 100 of the manual closing device 10, and the operation may be returned by the operation. .

When the automatic closing device 6 performs the brake releasing operation while the shutter curtain is electrically lifted, the second operating body 74 and the first operating body 73 in the steady position move in the first direction, and the second micro switch SW2 is moved. When the second micro switch SW2 is turned on from the OFF state, an operation confirmation signal is input to the obstacle detection control panel 11A, and the obstacle detection control panel 11A lowers its own weight from the electric open / close mode (normal mode). While changing to the mode (fire mode), simultaneously with the input of the operation confirmation signal, the driving of the switch 5 is stopped via the shutter control panel 11B, and the shutter curtain starts its own weight drop (FIG. 38 (1)). When the automatic closing device 6 releases the brake during the electric lowering of the shutter curtain, the second actuating body 74 and the first actuating body 73 in the steady position move in the first direction, and the second micro switch SW2 is moved. When the second micro switch SW2 is turned on from the OFF state, an operation confirmation signal is input to the obstacle detection control panel 11A, and the obstacle detection control panel 11A changes from the electric open / close mode (normal mode) to the self-weight drop mode. While changing to (fire mode), simultaneously with the input of the operation confirmation signal, the driving of the switch 5 is stopped via the shutter control panel 11B, and the shutter curtain starts its own weight drop (FIG. 38 (2)).

[E] Configuration of Seat Plate The configuration of the seat plate 4 provided with obstacle detection means will be described. As shown in FIG. 24, a plurality of detection levers 42 are rotatably provided between an upper seat plate 40 and a lower seat plate 41 constituting the seat plate 4, and the shutter during electric descent or under its own weight descent. When the lower end of the curtain 1 comes into contact with an obstacle and the lower seat plate 41 moves up relative to the upper seat plate 40, the detection lever 42 is rotated in conjunction with the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41. It has become. The plurality of detection levers 42 are connected to each other by a wire 43, and one end of the wire 43 is connected to a lower end side of a first rotation lever 92 (described later) constituting a lock mechanism of the lock device 9 via a coil spring 98. Has been. When the lower seat plate 41 moves up relative to the upper seat plate 40, the detection lever 42 rotates in a direction in which the lower end of the detection lever 42 is separated from the lock drum 90 of the lock device 9, and the wire 43 is moved to the lock device. 9 is pulled away from the lock drum 90.

When the wire 43 is pulled and the first rotation lever 92 is rotated, the lock mechanism 90 is controlled by a lock mechanism (details will be described later) of the lock device 9, and the lock device 9 is moved while the shutter curtain 1 is being lowered. The drawing out of the second wire W3 drawn out from is stopped, and the shutter curtain 1 descends, whereby the second wire W3 is drawn downward, and the first wire W2 is drawn through the relay device 8. The first actuating body 73 moves to the brake return position, the pressing of the brake release lever 50 is released, the brake is returned by the return means built in the brake of the opening / closing machine 5, and the shutter curtain 1 being lowered is moved. Stop.

As shown in FIG. 25, the detection lever 42 is rotatably attached to a support portion 42 </ b> A fixed inside the upper surface portion 400 of the upper seat plate 40. As shown in FIG. 24, the detection lever 42 is attached in an inclined posture such that the upper end side is close to the lock device 9 and the lower end side is far from the lock device 9. A roller as a contacted portion 420 is rotatably provided at the lower end of the detection lever 42. When the lower seat plate 41 moves upward during obstacle detection, the roller is pushed up to the bottom surface portion 410 of the lower seat plate 41. The detection lever 42 is rotatable about the upper rotation fulcrum 421 in a direction in which the lower end side is separated from the lock device 9. A protruding portion 422 is formed on the locking device 9 side of the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the detection lever 42, and an insertion portion 423 for the wire 43 is provided in the protruding portion 422. The abutting portion formed on the wire 43 abuts around the insertion portion 423, so that the wire 43 is pulled in conjunction with the rotation of the detection lever 42. When the lower seat plate 41 moves upward from the state of FIGS. 25A and 25B, the detection lever 42 is pushed up by the bottom surface portion 410 of the lower seat plate 41, and the detection lever 42 is shown by a two-dot chain line from the solid line posture of FIG. The wire 43 is pulled in a direction away from the lock device 9. The insertion portion 423 of the wire 43 is rotatably attached to the protruding portion 422, and coupled with the insertion portion 423 provided in the protruding portion 422, the wire 43 has an insertion portion 423 when the detection lever 42 is rotated. The horizontal posture is maintained as much as possible. Further, as shown in FIGS. 25B and 25D, in the normal tilted posture of the detection lever 42, the insertion portion 423 is located on the right side (opposite to the rotation direction) with respect to the rotation fulcrum 421. Thus, the amount of fluctuation in the vertical direction of the insertion portion 423 when the detection lever 42 rotates is suppressed to a small value. As shown in FIGS. 25 (A) and 25 (B), in a normal state where the lower seat plate 41 is suspended from the upper seat plate 40, the upper portion of the detection lever 42 is inclined by contacting the support portion 42A. The posture is maintained, and the circumferential surface of the roller at the lower end of the detection lever 42 is slightly spaced apart from the bottom surface portion 410 of the lower seat plate 41 (FIG. 25A). In a normal state, the roller peripheral surface and the bottom surface portion 410 of the lower seat plate 41 may be in contact with each other.

As shown in FIG. 25 (A), the upper seat plate 40 has an upper surface portion 400, left and right side surface portions 401 that hang from both ends in the width direction of the upper surface portion 400, and a direction approaching each other from lower ends of the left and right side surface portions 401. The left and right horizontal contact pieces 411 at the upper end of the lower seat plate 41 are placed on the contact pieces 402 of the upper seat plate 40, so that the upper seat plate 40 has a horizontal contact piece 402 extending horizontally. On the other hand, the lower seat plate 41 is suspended. The horizontal abutment piece 411 of the lower seat plate 41 is formed with a vertical rising piece 412 that is close to and opposed to the side surface portion 401 of the upper seat plate 40, and an obstacle at the lower corner of the lower seat plate 41. Even when the lower seat plate 41 hits, the rising piece 412 of the lower seat plate 41 abuts against the side surface portion 401 of the upper seat plate 40, and the tilting is restricted. It is restricted to tilt in the direction (thickness direction of shutter curtain).

It should be noted that the configuration of the obstacle detection means of the seat plate 4 described above is one embodiment, and does not limit the scope of rights of the present invention. For example, the obstacle detection means detects an upward movement of the lower seat plate 41 by using a detection body rotatably provided between the upper seat plate 40 and the lower seat plate 41 constituting the seat plate 4. The shape and the number of the detection bodies are not limited to those shown in the drawing, and the detection bodies may be ones that do not use the wires 43 (for example, the detection bodies are rotating bodies that extend in the length direction of the seat plate).

[F] The configuration of the locking device 9 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 26 and FIGS. 27 to 30 have different parts in the shape of the elements, but the components themselves are the same.

The front plate 954 ′ extends so as to cover at least the front side of the central portion of the lock drum 90 and the take-up drum 91 (the portion corresponding to the support shafts 900 and 910). In the illustrated embodiment, the front plate 954 ′ is integrally formed with bent pieces on the upper and right sides, the upper bent piece is brought into contact with the upper plate 950, and the right bent piece is brought into contact with the side piece 952 and screwed into the case 95. Fixed. One end of the support shaft 900 and the support shaft 910 is supported by the rear plate 953 and the other end is supported by the front plate 954 ′. By supporting the support shaft 900 and the support shaft 910 at both ends, the lock drum 90 and the winding drum 91 can be rotationally supported more stably than the cantilever support. In the mode shown in FIG. 26, the guide portion 958 for inserting the wire W3 extending between the lock drum 90 and the take-up drum 91 is formed in the bent portion at the lower end of the front plate 954 ′. Although not shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, a front cover 954 is further provided on the front surface of the case 95. The lower ends of the side pieces 951 and 952 are folded outward to form bent pieces 956 and 957, respectively, and the case 95 is an upper seat with screws 956a and 957a (see FIG. 24) via the bent pieces 956 and 957. It is attached to the upper surface portion 400 of the plate 40. Since the case 95 is attached to the upper seat plate 40 using screws 956a and 957a exposed to the outside, it is easy to remove the case 95 during maintenance.

The lock drum 90 includes a support shaft 900 that rotatably supports the lock drum 90, a concave peripheral surface 901 around which a wire is wound, and a peripheral edge of the lock drum 90 (specifically, in the thickness direction of the peripheral surface 901). And a plurality of tooth-like locked portions 903 formed continuously at the periphery of the disc portion 902 having a diameter larger than that of the peripheral surface 901. In one aspect, the circumferential dimension of the peripheral surface 901 is such that the wire can be wound three times in parallel.

The first rotation lever 92 is a rotation piece extending in the vertical direction, and includes an upper first portion 920 and a second portion 921 extending downward with a slight angle with respect to the first portion 920. And a rotation fulcrum 922 (formed by a support shaft P1 projecting from the rear plate 953 of the case 95) formed at the connecting portion between the first portion 920 and the second portion 921. The case 95 is movably provided.

The first turning lever 92 is centered around the turning fulcrum 922, in the first direction (locking direction) in which the upper first portion 920 approaches the lock drum 90, and the upper first portion 920 is in the lock drum 90. It is possible to turn in the second direction (the unlocking direction) of the direction away from the head. At the time of normal opening / closing and stopping, the first rotation lever 92 is in a first posture in which the upper first portion 920 is rotated to the side away from the lock drum 90 (see FIGS. 26 and 30), and is locked. When the device 9 is in the locked state, the first turning lever 92 is in the second posture in which the upper first portion 920 is turned to the side close to the lock drum 90 (see FIG. 27).

The first turning lever 92 is urged in the second direction by a coil spring 96 exemplified as an urging means. In the illustrated embodiment, one end of the coil spring 96 is connected to a pin P2 projecting from the rear plate 953 of the case 95 near the lower end of the left side plate 951 of the case 95, and the other end is a first rotating lever. The upper end of the first portion 920 of the 92 is connected to the side away from the lock drum 90. A pin P3 as a stopper protrudes from a predetermined portion of the rear plate 953 of the case 95. When the first rotation lever 92 is in the first posture, the first portion 920 of the first rotation lever 92 is A portion on the side away from the lock drum 90 is in contact with the pin P3.

The lower side of the second portion 921 of the first rotating lever 92 extends downward from the lower end of the case 95, and a hook-shaped locking portion 92a (see FIG. 26) is formed at the lower end. The end of the wire 43 (when the coil spring 98 (see FIG. 24) is connected to the end of the wire 43), the end of the wire 43 is detachably locked to the locking portion 92a. . When pulled by the wire 43 in conjunction with the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41, the first rotation lever 92 overcomes the urging force of the coil spring 96 and rotates in the first direction. The engaging portion 92a is opposite to the opening formed on the opposite side of the lower end side of the first rotation lever 92 from the side on which the wire 43 extends, the groove portion extending downward from the opening, and the side on which the wire 43 extends by the groove portion. And a bottom portion of the groove portion slightly bulges to the wire 43 side, and an upper end of the rising portion is formed thick adjacent to the opening. The shape of the locking portion 92a is such that the wire 43 does not come off the locking portion 92a regardless of the rotation position of the first rotation lever 92 during the operation of the mechanical evacuation stop device. Is formed. This is advantageous because the end of the wire 43 can be removed from the locking portion 92a during maintenance.

The second rotating lever 93 is an isosceles triangular rotating piece having short sides 930 and 931 and a long side 932, and the short side 931 and the long side 932 are opposed to the lock drum 90. The case 95 is provided so as to be rotatable about a rotation fulcrum 933 (formed by a support shaft P1 projecting from the rear plate 953 of the case 95) formed close to the apex located on the lower side. is there. In the illustrated embodiment, the rotation fulcrum 933 of the second rotation lever 93 and the rotation fulcrum 922 of the first rotation lever 92 are formed from a common support shaft P1. A locking portion 934 is formed in proximity to the apex formed by the short sides 930 and 931, and a contact portion 935 is formed in proximity to the long side 932 so as to be separated from the locking portion 934. A contact portion 936 is formed in the vicinity of the apex formed by the short side 930 and the long side 932. The locking portion 934 of the second rotation lever 93 has a shape that can be engaged and disengaged with the locked portion 903 (gear of the gear) of the lock drum 90.

In the present embodiment, the second rotation lever 93 includes two opposing plates, the support shaft P1 is provided between the two plates, and the locking portion 934 connects the two plates. The abutting portion 935 is a pin that connects the two plates, and the abutting portion 936 is rotatably mounted on the pin that connects the two plates. It is a bearing. In addition, the structure which consists of two plates is only one aspect of the 2nd rotation lever 93. FIG.

The second rotation lever 93 is rotatable about a lower rotation fulcrum 933 in a first direction in which the upper side approaches the lock drum 90 and in a second direction in which the upper side separates from the lock drum 90. It has become. During normal opening / closing and stopping, the second turning lever 93 is in the first posture in which the upper side is turned to the side away from the lock drum 90 (see FIGS. 26 and 30), and the lock device 9 is in the locked state. The second turning lever 93 is in the second posture in which the upper side is turned to the side close to the lock drum 90 (see FIG. 27). When the second rotation lever 93 is in the first posture, the locking portion 934 is in the non-locking state separated from the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90, and the contact portion 935 includes the first locking lever 934. A portion of the first portion 920 of the rotating lever 92 on the side close to the locking device is in contact. When the second rotation lever 93 is in the second posture, the locking portion 934 is locked with the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90. When the locking portion 934 of the second rotation lever 93 and the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 are in the locked state, the rotation of the lock drum 90 is restricted, and the lock device 9 is restricted from pulling out the wire W3. Locked.

The second turning lever 93 is urged in the second direction by a coil spring 97 exemplified as an urging means. In the illustrated embodiment, one end of the coil spring 97 is connected to a pin P2 projecting from the rear plate 953 of the case 95 in the vicinity of the lower end of the left side plate 951 of the case 95, and the other end is a second rotating lever. 93 is connected to the abutting portion 935. In the illustrated embodiment, the coil spring 97 that biases the second rotating lever 93 in the second direction and the coil spring 96 that biases the first rotating lever 92 in the second direction are connected to a common pin P2. However, separate pins may be prepared and connected to the separate pins. In the illustrated embodiment, the pin that forms the contact portion 935 also serves as the connecting portion at the other end of the coil spring 97. However, as shown in FIG. The other end of the coil spring 97 may be connected to the piece 935 ′).

The contact portion 935 of the second rotation lever 93 is in contact with a portion of the first portion 920 on the upper side of the first rotation lever 92 that is close to the lock drum 90. When the wire 43 is pulled in conjunction with the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41 and the first rotation lever 92 overcomes the urging force of the coil spring 96 and rotates in the first direction, the first rotation lever 92 When the first portion 920 presses the contact portion 935 of the second rotation lever 93, the second rotation lever 93 overcomes the urging force of the coil spring 97 and rotates in the first direction. When the second rotation lever 93 is rotated in the first direction, the locking portion 934 of the second rotation lever 93 that is separated from the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 is It is locked to the locked portion 903 and is locked.

The third rotation lever 94 is a member that is positioned above the first rotation lever 92 and the second rotation lever 93 and extends in the lateral direction, and is in a locked state (second posture). It is a rotation restricting means for restricting the rotation of the lever 93 in the second direction, in other words, a holding lever that holds the locked state of the second rotation lever 93 for a predetermined time after the obstacle is removed. The third rotation lever 94 is provided in the case 95 so as to be rotatable with an end portion on the side close to the lock drum 90 as a rotation fulcrum 940, and an end portion on the side far from the lock drum 90 is rotated in the vertical direction. It is possible. The pivot fulcrum 940 is formed from a support shaft P4 that protrudes from the rear plate 953 of the case 95.

When the first rotation lever 92 and the second rotation lever 93 are in the first posture, the third rotation lever 94 has a tip that is the end far from the lock drum 90 at the first position (upper side). When the first rotation lever 92 and the second rotation lever 93 are in the second posture, the tip is rotated to the second position (lower side). It is in the 2nd attitude | position which moved (refer FIG. 27).

A lower portion of the third rotation lever 94 extending in the lateral direction has the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 when the lock device 9 is in a locked state. A locking portion 941 that locks with the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 when in the second posture is formed. A contact portion 942 is formed at a lower portion of the third rotation lever 94 so as to be positioned on the distal end side with respect to the locking portion 941.

In the present embodiment, the third rotation lever 94 includes two opposing plates, the support shaft P4 is provided between the two plates, and the locking portion 941 is between the tips of the two plates. The abutment portion 942 is a bearing that is rotatably mounted on a pin that connects the two plates. The configuration composed of two plates is only one aspect of the third rotation lever 94, and the locking portion 941 may be integrally formed. In the illustrated embodiment, the locking portion 941 has a stepped shape when viewed from the side, but the shape of the locking portion 941 is not limited and may be a claw shape or a protrusion shape.

When the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 are in the first posture, the corner portion of the locking portion 941 of the third rotation lever 94 is the second rotation lever 93. The third rotation lever 94 is restricted from rotating downward, and the first posture is maintained. From this state, when the second rotation lever 93 rotates in the first direction, the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 gets over the corner of the locking portion 941 of the third rotation lever 94. At the same time, the third rotation lever 94 rotates downward, and the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 is locked to the locking portion 941.

As shown in FIG. 27, when the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 are in the second posture, the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 is the third position. The abutment portion 923 formed on the upper end of the first rotation lever 92 is opposed to the engagement side 9410 of the engagement portion 941 of the rotation lever 94, and the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94. Abut. The contact state of the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 and the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94 and the engagement of the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 and the third rotation lever 94 When the portion 941 is opposed to the locking side 9410 (see FIG. 27) or in the locked state (see FIG. 28), at least the first rotation lever 92 rotates a predetermined amount from the second posture to the second direction. It is maintained while you do. When the third rotation lever 94 in the second posture rotates upward by a predetermined amount, the locking portion 941 of the third rotation lever 94 and the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 are locked. Is released, the rotation restriction by the third rotation lever 94 is released, and the second rotation lever 93 in the second posture is rotated in the second direction by the force of the coil spring 97.

A circumferential projection piece 943 is formed on the distal end side of the third rotation lever 94, and when the third rotation lever 94 is in the first position, the projection piece 943 contacts the left side piece 951. The third turning lever 94 is restricted from turning further upward. This prevents the third turning lever 94 from jumping up when it is turned from the second posture to the first posture.

The operation of the locking device will be described. When the shutter curtain 1 starts to descend, the lock device 9 (lock drum 90, take-up drum 91) provided on the seat plate 4 also descends as the seat plate 4 descends, and as the lock device 9 descends, Overcoming the force of the mainspring spring, the second wire W3 is pulled out along the surface of the shutter curtain 1 by the distance of the shutter curtain 1 while the winding drum 91 and the lock drum 90 rotate.

When the seat plate 4 at the lower end of the lowering shutter curtain 1 comes into contact with an obstacle, the lock device 9 is interlocked with the lower seat plate 41 moving upward relative to the upper seat plate 40. It operates so that the rotation of 90 is restricted. When the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 that is falling under its own weight comes into contact with an obstacle and the lower seat plate 41 moves up relative to the upper seat plate 40, the detection lever 42 moves in conjunction with the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41. It is designed to rotate. Lower end portions of the plurality of detection levers 42 are connected to each other by a wire 43, and one end of the wire 43 is connected to the first rotation lever 92 via a coil spring 98. When the lower seat plate 41 moves up relatively with respect to the upper seat plate 40, the detection lever 42 rotates in a direction away from the lock drum 90 and pulls the wire 43 in a direction away from the lock drum 90. The rotation lever 92 rotates from the first posture to the second posture.

When the first rotation lever 92 rotates in the first direction from the first posture shown in FIG. 26, the first portion 920 of the first rotation lever 92 contacts the contact portion 935 of the second rotation lever 93. By pressing while in contact, the second turning lever 93 in the first position turns together with the first turning lever 92 in the first direction, and the locking portion 934 of the second turning lever 93 is moved. Is locked to the tooth-like locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 to restrict the rotation of the lock drum 90 (FIG. 27).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 26, the third rotation lever 94 in the first posture is brought into contact with the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 in the first posture, so The rotation is restricted. The second rotating lever 93 in the first posture rotates in the first direction together with the first rotating lever 92, so that the contact portion 936 of the second rotating lever 93 is moved to the third rotating lever 94. At the same time as it gets over the corner portion of the locking portion 941 and locks to the locking portion 941, the third rotation lever 94 rotates downward under its own weight and assumes the second posture (FIG. 27).

When the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 are in the second posture, the second posture of the first rotation lever 92 is held by the pulling force of the wire 43. The second posture of the second turning lever 93 is maintained by the first portion 920 of the first turning lever 92 in the second posture coming into contact with the contact portion 935 of the second turning lever 93. The second posture of the third rotation lever 94 is held by the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 coming into contact with the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94. Accordingly, when the wire 43 is pulled, that is, in the obstacle detection state, the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 maintain the second posture and are locked. The device 9 is in a locked state, and the rotation of the lock drum 90 is restricted.

When the rotation of the lock drum 90 is stopped, the withdrawal of the second wire W3 is restricted and the length of the second wire W3 becomes constant. In this state, the upper seat plate 40 (that is, the lock drum 90) is lowered with respect to the lower seat plate 41. Then, the first wire W2 is pulled through the second wire W3 and the relay device 8, and the first operating body 73 slides in the second direction. In the case of the electric descent, the first operating body 73 at the steady position moves in the second direction, the first micro switch SW1 is turned from ON to OFF, and the obstacle detection signal (seat plate operation signal) is detected as an obstacle. The driving of the switch 5 is stopped by the obstacle detection control panel 11A and the shutter control panel 11B which are transmitted to the control panel 11A and receive the obstacle detection signal, and the descent of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped. When the dead weight is being lowered, the first operating body 73 at the brake release position moves to the steady position (brake return position), so that the brake release lever 50 is returned and the brake is returned. The descent of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped by restricting the rotation.

Here, in order to return to the brake, it is necessary to pull the return wires (the first wire W2 and the second wire W3) by a predetermined amount (that is, the shutter curtain 1 needs to be lowered by a predetermined amount) and hit an obstacle. It is desirable that the lower seat plate 41 has an upward movement stroke corresponding to the amount of lowering of the shutter curtain 1 that only causes the brake to return. Further, in addition to the upward movement stroke, it is desirable that the lower seat plate 41 has a margin stroke that allows the upper seat plate 40 to move upward relatively. With this margin stroke, when an obstacle comes into contact with the lower seat plate 41, only the load of the lower seat plate 41 can be applied to the obstacle, and the load of the entire shutter curtain is prevented from acting on the obstacle. . Here, although it is known that the seat plate 4 is configured from the lower seat plate 41 that moves upward relative to the upper seat plate 40, in this embodiment, the movable distance of the lower seat plate 41 relative to the upper seat plate 40. Is larger than the conventional movable distance. Specifically, the relative possible distance of the lower seat plate 41 with respect to the upper seat plate 40 is determined by rotating the detection lever 42 when the lower seat plate 41 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 that falls by its own weight hits an obstacle. 2 A first movement amount (for locking) until the rotation lever 93 is locked to the lock drum 90 to restrict the rotation of the lock drum 90 and to restrict the withdrawal of the return wire stored in the winding drum 91. And the upper seat plate 40 is moved downward relative to the lower seat plate 41 in a state where the return wire is restricted from being pulled out. The second movement amount (requires pulling the return wire downward after locking) until the brake is returned by pulling the return wire with the drawer regulated downward, and the shutter car by the brake return Third moving amount of down 1 down to allow the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41 against the upper seat plate 40 after stopping the (alleviate a load that will act on the obstacle), consists of a total of. In connection with pulling the return wire, even when the upward movement stroke of the lower seat plate 41 is small, it operates with the return wire (for example, the relay device 8) or the return wire (first wire W2). Brake is provided by providing a mechanism (for example, a link mechanism) that is positioned at a portion connected to the operating mechanism of the portion 7 and extracts a pulling amount of the operating mechanism (brake release body) that is large with respect to the upward stroke of the second wire W3. Can be restored.

When the lower seat plate 41 moves down after the obstacle is removed and the wire 43 is not pulled, the first turning lever 92 in the second posture starts to turn in the second direction by the force of the coil spring 96. To do. As will be described later, in this embodiment, the rotation speed of the first rotation lever 92 in the second direction is reduced. The contact portion 923 at the upper end of the first rotation lever 92 has a concave arcuate surface, and slides with respect to the peripheral surface of the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94 in the initial rotation. The first rotation lever 92 starts to rotate in the second direction, while the second rotation lever 93 maintains the second posture (locked state) (FIG. 28). As can be seen from a comparison between FIG. 27 and FIG. 28, the second posture is within the range of play in the locked state between the contact portion 936 of the second rotating lever 93 and the locking portion 941 of the third rotating lever 94. When the first rotation lever 92 located in the second direction is rotated in the second direction, the second rotation lever 93 is also slightly rotated in the second direction, but the locked state is maintained, and the second rotation The locking portion 934 of the moving lever 93 and the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 are in a locked state.

When the first rotation lever 92 rotates a predetermined amount, the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 abuts against the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94 to act, and the third rotation lever The abutment portion 942 on the tip end side of 94 is pushed upward in conjunction with the turning of the first turning lever 92, and when the third turning lever 94 is pushed up by a predetermined amount, the third turning lever 94 is locked. The engagement state between the portion 941 and the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 is released (the second rotation lever 93 is kept locked until just before the engagement state is released), and the second The rotating lever 93 is instantaneously rotated in the second direction by the force of the coil spring 97, and the locked state between the locking portion 934 of the second rotating lever 93 and the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 is released. And the locked state is released. FIG. 29 shows a state immediately before the lock state is released. When the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94 is completely pushed up by the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 from the state of FIG. 29, the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 92 and the third turn The locking state of the moving lever 94 with the locking portion 941 is released, and at the same time, the second rotating lever 93 is instantaneously rotated in the second direction by the coil spring 97, so that the locking portion 934 becomes the lock drum 90. The lock drum 90 can be rotated by being disengaged from the locked portion 903 (FIG. 30).

In the present embodiment, the second wire W3 is divided into a lock drum 90 and a take-up drum 91 and wound up. When both a wire winding mechanism and a locking mechanism are provided on one rotating body (although this aspect is also included in the scope of the present invention), the wire is randomly wound around the rotating body and wound in multiple layers. There is a possibility that a so-called winding drawing may occur due to the outer wire biting into the broken wire. When a wire drawing is generated in the wire, there is a possibility of affecting the smooth feeding and winding of the wire. In the present embodiment, the second wire W3 is first wound around the lock drum 90 and then wound around the take-up drum 91, and the force that can be generated on the second wire W3 is the lock drum 90. It comes to act on. Here, since the second wire W3 is wound once on the peripheral surface 901 of the lock drum 90 (three windings in parallel), even if a force acts on the second wire W3, the rotating lock drum 90 rotates. Even if it stops suddenly, the wire is not drawn. Further, a plurality of second wires W3 are wound around the lock drum 90 to prevent the second wire W3 from slipping on the peripheral surface 901 of the lock drum 90, and the lock drum 90 and the take-up drum 91 rotate together. It is like that. The winding drum 91 has a built-in mainspring spring that urges the second wire 3 in the winding direction. Therefore, even if the lock drum 90 is locked and the rotation stops, the second wire W3 is loosened. Does not occur. Further, when the shutter curtain 1 is raised in the locked state, the second wire W3 wound three times around the lock drum 90 is loosened, but the loosened second wire W3 is transferred to the winding drum 91 incorporating the mainspring spring. Since it is wound up, the second wire W3 is not loosened. The touch-up of the shutter curtain 1 at the time of obstacle detection can be performed without waiting for the unlocking delayed by the delay mechanism, and the time from when the shutter curtain 1 stops until the touch-up can be shortened. it can. Further, when the obstacle is detected, the second wire W3 is pulled downward by the frictional force of the second wire W3 wound around the lock drum 90. However, if the obstacle is detected, a large downward direction exceeding the frictional force in the locked state is assumed. When the force acts, the second wire W3 wound three times around the lock drum 90 slides and lowers the shutter curtain 1, thereby preventing the second wire W3 from being cut.

The lower end of the first rotation lever 92 is connected to the wire 43 via a coil spring 98, and the coil spring 98 constitutes a buffer spring. In order to return to the brake, it is necessary to pull the return wire by a predetermined amount (that is, the shutter curtain 1 needs to be lowered by a predetermined amount), and the lower seat plate 41 hitting the obstacle is engaged with the second rotation lever 93. Even after the stop portion 934 is locked to the tooth-like locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90, it is necessary to move up relatively. At this time, the coil spring 98 is extended, so that the load on the wire 43 and the locking portion (the locking portion 934 and the locked portion 903) accompanying the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41 after the lock drum 90 is locked. Has eased. More specifically, after the lock (after the locking portion 934 is locked to the locked portion 903), the upper seat plate 40 is further moved downward with respect to the lower seat plate 41, so that only the amount moved downward is reached. The return wire is pulled down. At the same time, the lower movement of the upper seat plate 40 causes the detection lever 42 to rotate further upward, and the wire 43 is further pulled. At this time, the coil spring 98 is extended to lock the second rotation lever 93. The portion 934 is prevented from being pressed against the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90.

It should be noted that the configuration of the locking device 9 described above is one embodiment and does not limit the scope of rights of the present invention. In the illustrated embodiment, the lock drum 90 and the take-up drum 91 are adjacent to each other. However, the lock drum 90 and the take-up drum 91 are separated from each other (as a non-limiting example, the radial dimension to the diameter dimension of these drums) You may arrange. In the present embodiment, the lock drum 90 and the take-up drum 91 are provided separately, and the description has been made based on the configuration in which the lock drum 90 is locked. As described in Japanese Patent No. 13647), the lock drum and the winding drum may be integrated. In the illustrated embodiment, the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, the third rotation lever 94, and the detection lever 42 are disposed only on one side of the lock drum 90. And a pair of left and right first rotation levers connected to the wires connected to the respective detection levers may be provided. In the illustrated embodiment, three rotation levers (first rotation lever 92, second rotation lever 93, and third rotation lever 94) are shown, but one rotation lock lever may be provided ( See FIG. 33 and Patent Document 1).

The configuration of the lock device is not limited as long as the lock device regulates the return wire by moving the lower seat plate 41 upward. For example, the locking device may not include a winding drum. That is, the winding drum may be provided at a location different from the locking device (for example, a portion of the seat plate that is separated from the locking device, an upper portion of the opening such as a lintel, or the inside of the guide rail). An aspect in which the winding drum is provided in the lintel portion is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example. Further, the return wire is not necessarily limited to the one wound around the winding drum, and for example, the lower end side of the return wire may be guided inside the guide rail by a pulley, and the lower end may be fixed to the floor surface or the guide rail. . The locking device is not necessarily limited to the one provided with the lock drum, and for example, the drawing of the return wire may be mechanically restricted by the clamping means or the pressing means. The locking device is not necessarily limited to one in which all the components are provided on the upper seat plate, and includes a mode in which some of the components of the locking device are provided on the lower seat plate.

[G] Self-weight re-lowering delay mechanism As described above, after the obstacle is removed, the lower seat plate 41 moves downward relative to the upper seat plate 40, so that the lock device 9 is in an unlocked state. The return wire (first wire W2 + second wire W3) can be pulled out, the brake of the opening / closing machine 5 is released by the operation mechanism of the automatic closing device 6, and the shutter curtain 1 is lowered again by its own weight. Here, the movable lock portion (for example, the first rotation lever 92, movable lock member 92 ′ shown in FIG. 33) of the lock device 9 and the displacement of the detection lever 42 from the second posture to the first posture are resisted. By providing the damping mechanism so as to give, the speed of the movable lock portion in the second posture, which is the locked posture, is reduced and rotated to the first posture, and the return wire (first wire W2, second wire). The timing for releasing the wire W3) withdrawal restriction is delayed. In other words, by delaying the timing at which the locking device 9 in the locked state is unlocked and allowing the return wires (first wire W2 and second wire W3) to be pulled out, the shutter curtain 1 is self-weighted after the obstacle is removed. The time until re-descent starts is delayed. A specific configuration example will be described below.

[G-1] First Aspect In the present embodiment, the second rotation lever 93 is rotated in the second direction instantly by delaying the rotation start timing of the second rotation lever 93 in the second direction and by the action of the coil spring 97. It is characterized by releasing the locked state. By reducing the rotation speed of the first rotation lever 92 in the second direction, it is possible to further increase the time until the locked state is released after the obstacle is detected. That is, a damping mechanism is provided so as to reduce the speed at which the first rotation lever 92 in the second posture rotates in the second direction, and after removing the obstacle, the first rotation lever 92 is moved in the second direction. , The timing of releasing the rotation restriction of the second rotation lever 93 by the third rotation lever 94 is delayed, and the second rotation lever 93 released from the rotation restriction is a damping mechanism. Without being affected by the coil spring 97, the coil spring 97 instantaneously rotates in the second direction, and the locked state is quickly released.

The form of the slow descending device 44 as a damping mechanism is shown in FIGS. The slow descending device 44 is configured so that the lower seat plate 41 moved upward relative to the upper seat plate 40 when the bottom surface portion 410 of the lower seat plate 41 hits the obstacle is lowered again with respect to the upper seat plate 40 after the obstacle is removed. This is a device for slowly lowering the lower seat plate 41 when moving. The slow descending device 44 includes a rotary damper 440 and a pinion gear 441 provided on the upper seat plate 40, a rack gear 442, an elevating body 442A provided so as to move up and down integrally with the lower seat plate 41, a pinion gear 441 and a rack gear. And a one-way clutch mechanism provided between 442 and 442.

The one-way clutch mechanism meshes with the pinion gear 441 and rotates with the pinion gear 441 and rotates with the rack gear 442 and rotates with the rack gear 442 in the vertical direction. And a one-way clutch 448 provided between the first gear 446 and the second gear 447.

The one-way clutch 448 is configured such that the rotation of the second gear 447 in the first direction is not transmitted to the first gear 446, and the second gear 447 rotates integrally with the first gear 446 only when rotating in the second direction. Operates on. When the elevating body 442A moves up, the second gear 447 rotates in the first direction, so that the elevating body 442A can move up quickly without receiving resistance. When the lifting body 442A moves downward, the second gear 447 rotates in the second direction, the first gear 446 rotates integrally with the second gear 447, and the first gear 446 includes a pinion having a rotary damper 440. Since the second gear 447 is engaged with the gear 441, the second gear 447 rotates slowly while receiving the resistance of the rotary damper 440. Therefore, the elevating body 442A can slowly move down.

Further, since the pinion gear 441 meshes with the first gear 446 having a large diameter with respect to the pinion gear 441, the rotation speed of the first gear 446 is higher than that of the pinion gear 441 and the first gear 441. Compared to the case where the gear 446 is decelerated by the gear ratio and the rotation speed of the second gear 447 that rotates together with the first gear 446 is also reduced, and the pinion gear 441 and the rack gear 442 are directly meshed with each other. 442A can be slowly moved down. Further, since the first gear 446 having a large diameter and the second gear 447 having a small diameter rotate integrally, and the second gear 447 having a small diameter meshes with the rack gear 442, the first gear 446 meshes directly with the rack gear 442. As compared with the case where it is assumed that the lift body 442A is moved downward by the same distance, more rotation is required, and the lift body 442A is slowly lowered by the number of teeth ratio of the first gear 446 and the second gear 447. Can be moved.

A box-like case 449 is fixed inside the upper seat plate 40, and a rotary damper 440, a pinion gear 441, and a one-way clutch mechanism are attached to the case 449. The case 449 includes an upper surface portion 4490, a first side surface portion 4491, a second side surface portion 4492, a first surface portion 4493, and a second surface portion 4494, and the lower side is open. The lower end of the first side surface portion 4491 extends below the lower end of the second side surface portion 4492. An insertion hole 4491 a for the wire 43 is formed in a lower portion of the first side surface portion 4491. The case 449 is mounted on the lower surface of the upper surface portion 400 of the upper seat plate 40 via the upper surface portion 4490 with the first side surface portion 4491 positioned on the side far from the locking device 9 and the second side surface portion 4492 positioned on the near side. Yes. Note that the case 449 may be attached in the opposite direction. A rotary damper 440 and a pinion gear 441 are attached to the first surface portion 4493. Between the first surface portion 4493 and the second surface portion 4494, the shaft portion of the one-way clutch mechanism (first gear 446, second gear 447) is bridged.

As shown in FIG. 31A, the elevating body 442A is formed of a vertical plate-like main body, and the main body is parallel to the first side surface portion 4491 and the second side surface portion 4492 of the case 449 in the plan view, and the first surface portion 4493. The second surface portion 4494 extends perpendicular to the second surface portion 4494. A columnar horizontal portion is formed at the lower end of the main body, and both end portions 4420 of the horizontal portion are both end portions in the width direction of the main body of the lifting body 442A, and the first side surface portion 4493 and the second side surface portion of the case 449. Projecting beyond 4494. As shown in FIG. 32, the lower seat plate 41 extends horizontally so as to be separated from the left and right side surfaces 413 hanging from the left and right horizontal contact pieces 411 at the upper end and the lower ends of the left and right side surfaces 413. Left and right horizontal portions 414, and a lower portion between the horizontal portion 414 and the bottom surface portion 410 is a wide space 415. The cylindrical horizontal portion at the lower end of the lifting body 442A is accommodated in the wide space 415, and both end portions 4420 of the horizontal portion are in contact with the horizontal portion 414 of the lower seat plate 41 from below. The elevating body 442A moves up and down along with the up and down movement.

The main body of the vertical plate-like lifting body 442A includes a first surface that faces the one-way clutch mechanism, and a second surface that faces the inner surface of the first side surface portion 4491. The first surface includes the first surface. A rack gear 442 is formed in the height direction at a portion close to one side in the width direction, and the rack gear 442 meshes with the second gear 447. On the other side in the width direction, the main body is formed with a vertically long insertion hole 4421 for inserting the wire 43 in the height direction. On the first surface of the main body, a protruding portion 4422 is projected in the height direction adjacent to the vertically long insertion hole 4421 and formed on the inner surface of the first surface portion 4493 of the case 449 in the height direction. The guide protrusion 4493a is in sliding contact. The second surface of the main body is in sliding contact with the inner surface of the first side surface portion 4491 of the case 449. The elevating body 442A is configured such that the rack gear 422 meshes with the second gear 447, the raised portion 4422 is in sliding contact with the guide protrusion 4493a, and the second surface of the main body is in sliding contact with the inner surface of the first side surface portion 4491. The case 4490 fixed to the head is raised and lowered. The sliding contact state here provides a vertical guide function of the lifting body 442A to the extent that resistance is not given to the lifting operation of the lifting body 442A. As shown in FIG. 31 (B), the upper surface portion 4490 of the case 449 is formed with a downward opening-shaped concave portion 4490a, and the lower seat plate 41 moves up and down with respect to the upper seat plate 40. The upper end portion of the body 442A is positioned in the recess 4490a. In this way, the lowered lifting body 442A can be maintained at a higher position, and the rack gear 422 and the second gear 447 of the lifting body 442A can be maintained in a state where the lower seat plate 41 is moved downward relative to the upper seat plate 40. Are sufficiently meshed so that the initial movement when the lower seat plate 41 is moved upward can be performed smoothly.

When the lower seat plate 4 (in the state shown in FIG. 32) at the lower end of the shutter curtain that is being lowered comes into contact with an obstacle, the lower seat plate 41 moves up relative to the upper seat plate 40 and moves up and down. The second gear 447 rotates in the first direction in conjunction with the upward movement of the body 442A, but the rotation of the second gear 447 in the first direction is not transmitted to the first gear 446 by the one-way clutch 448, The first gear 447 rotates freely. Accordingly, the lower seat plate 41 moves up instantaneously with respect to the upper seat plate 40. At this time, when the detection lever 42 is rotated and the wire 43 is pulled, the first rotation lever 92 is rotated in the first direction, and the second rotation lever 93 is simultaneously rotated in the first direction. Then, the locking portion 934 is locked to the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 and restricts the rotation of the lock drum 90.

On the other hand, when an obstacle below the lower seat plate 41 is removed in a state where the lower seat plate 41 is moved upward with respect to the upper seat plate 40, the lower seat plate 41 starts to move downward under its own weight, and the lifting body 442A The second gear 447 rotates in the second direction in conjunction with the downward movement, but the rotation of the second gear 447 in the second direction is transmitted to the first gear 446 by the one-way clutch 448, and further the first gear 446. Is transmitted to the pinion gear 441, and the pinion gear 441 rotates slowly by the operation of the rotary damper 440. Further, since the pinion gear 441 meshes with the first gear 446 having a large diameter with respect to the pinion gear 441, the rotation speed of the first gear 446 is higher than that of the pinion gear 441 and the first gear 441. The speed is reduced by the gear ratio of the gear 446, the rotational speed of the second gear 447 that rotates integrally with the first gear 446 is also reduced, and the elevating body 442A and the lower seat plate 41 slowly move downward. Further, since the first gear 446 having a large diameter and the second gear 447 having a small diameter rotate integrally, and the second gear 447 having a small diameter meshes with the rack gear 442, the first gear 446 meshes directly with the rack gear 442. As compared with the case where it is assumed that the lift body 442A is moved downward by the same distance, more rotation is required, and the lift body 442A and the lower seat plate 41 have the teeth of the first gear 446 and the second gear 447. Slow down a few minutes. When the lower seat plate 41 slowly moves down, the first rotation lever 92 in the second posture returns while rotating slowly, and the third rotation lever 94 rotates the second rotation lever 93. Delay the timing of deregulation.

[G-2] Second Mode Another form of the delay mechanism is shown in FIG. In FIG. 33, it should be noted that the configuration of the rotation lock member is different from that shown in FIGS. 26 to 30. Further, the configuration of the seat plate 4 provided with the obstacle detection means can adopt the mode shown in FIG. 24 except that the slow down device 44 as a delay mechanism is not provided. The damping mechanism includes a rotary damper 440 ′ and a rack 441 ′. As shown in FIG. 33, one end of a coil spring 98 is connected to the lower end of a rotation lock member 92 ′ that rotates about a rotation fulcrum 920 ′, and the other end of the coil spring 98 is connected to one end of a rack 441 ′. The other end of the rack 441 ′ is connected to the end of the wire 43. The rotary damper 440 ′ is attached to the extension portion 9530 of the rear plate 953. On the other end side of the rack 441 ′, there is a portion where the rack gear 441A ′ is not formed (non-gear forming portion). When the rotation lock member 92 ′ is in the unlocked position, the pinion gear 440A ′ is positioned at the non-gear forming portion on the other end side of the rack 441 ′. When not in contact with an obstacle, the pinion gear 440A ′ and the rack gear 441A ′ are not meshed.

When the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 that is falling under its own weight comes into contact with an obstacle, the wire 43 is pulled leftward. The rack 441 ′ and the coil spring 98 are pulled to the left as they are, the rotation lock member 92 ′ is rotated clockwise, the locking claw 921 ′ is hooked on the locked portion 903, and the rotation of the lock drum 90 is stopped. . Further, when the rotation lock member 92 ′ moves slightly, the engagement claw 921 ′ and the engaged portion 903 are completely engaged with each other, and the rotation lock member 92 ′ does not rotate any more and stops. In the operation so far, the rack gear 441A ′ and the pinion gear 440A ′ are not meshed with each other and operate in a state that is not related to the damper. Thereafter, when the lower seat plate 41 further moves upward, the coil spring 98 extends (because the rotation lock member 92 ′ does not move), and the rack 441 is now engaged with the pinion gear 440A ′ and the rack gear 441A ′. ′ Moves to the left (by a distance corresponding to the distance the lower seat plate has moved relatively upward). When the obstacle is removed, the wire 43 returns to the right, and the coil spring 98 and the rack 441 ′ return to the right. At this time, a damping mechanism is activated, and the rack 441 ′ is operated by the one-way rotary damper 440 ′. Slowly returns to the right, and the rotation lock member 92 'begins to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, since the rack gear 441A ′ and the pinion gear 440A ′ are not engaged with each other, the rotation lock member 92 ′ is not affected by the damping mechanism and quickly performs the unlocking operation.

A rack gear 441A ′ provided over the entire length of the rack 441 ′ (the rack gear 441A ′ and the rack 441 ′ are always meshed) can also be implemented. Moreover, the aspect of the damping mechanism is not limited to that shown in FIG. 33. For example, a one-way rotary damper (not shown) may be provided on the shaft portion of the rotation fulcrum 920 ′ of the rotation lock member 92 ′.

[G-3] Third Mode The locking device 9 will be described on the premise of the rotation locking member 92 ′ of the second embodiment. A third embodiment of the delay mechanism will be described with reference to FIGS. 34, 35, and 36. FIG. In each figure, (A) is a state in which the lower seat plate 41 is freely suspended from the upper seat plate 40, and (B) is a state in which the lower seat plate 41 is relative to the upper seat plate 40 from the state of (A). Shows the uplifted state. In the third embodiment, the damping mechanism 45 is provided so as to give resistance to the displacement of the detection lever 42 from the second position to the first position.

In the aspect shown in FIG. 34, the damping mechanism 45 is incorporated in the shaft portion of the rotation fulcrum 421 of the detection lever 42. The damping mechanism 45 includes a one-way rotary damper 450, and when the detection lever 42 in the first posture rotates to the second posture (clockwise in the illustrated example), the detection lever 42 can freely rotate. When the detection lever 42 in the second posture rotates to the first posture (counterclockwise in the illustrated example), resistance is given to the rotation of the detection lever 42. .

The lower seat plate 41 at the lower end of the shutter curtain under its own weight is in the state shown in FIG. 34A. When the lower seat plate 41 hits an obstacle, the lower seat plate 41 is moved to the first posture in conjunction with the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41. A certain detection lever 42 is pushed up, and the wire 43 is pulled in the first direction (the arrow direction in FIG. 34A), and the second posture shown in FIG. At this time, since the one-way rotary damper 450 rotates idly, the rotary damper 450 does not prevent the detection lever 42 from rotating from the first posture to the second posture, and interlocks with the rotation of the detection lever 42. Then, the wire 43 is pulled in the first direction, and the rotation lock member 92 ′ is rotated from the first posture to the second posture to be locked.

After the obstacle is removed, the lower seat plate 41 is moved downward relative to the upper seat plate 40, so that the detection lever 42 in the second posture can be rotated to the first posture. The lever 42 eliminates the force of pulling the wire 43 in the first direction, and the coil spring 99 causes the rotation lock member 92 ′ in the second position to rotate to the first position. At this time, the detection lever 42 in the second posture rotates to the first posture via the wire 43 pulled in the second direction (the arrow direction in FIG. 34B), but the rotary damper 450 Is a one-way damper that provides resistance to rotation of the detection lever 42 from the second position to the first position. The detection lever 42 receives resistance of the damping mechanism 45 including the rotary damper 450, so Then, the rotation lock member 92 connected to the detection lever 42 moves slowly from the second posture to the first posture while receiving the resistance of the damping mechanism 45, and the lock device 9 enters the unlocked state. The lock device 9 is unlocked and the return wires (first wire W2 and second wire W3) can be pulled out, the brake is released, and the shutter curtain 1 is lowered again by its own weight. In this way, the shutter curtain 1 that has been stopped after the obstacle has been removed is lowered again by delaying the timing of releasing the restriction of the return wires (the first wire W2 and the second wire W3) by the lock device 9. The time to do is delayed.

In the aspect shown in FIG. 35, the damping mechanism 45 includes a rotary damper 450 having a pinion gear 450A and a gear 451 that is formed at a predetermined portion on the periphery of the detection lever 42 and meshes with the pinion gear 450A. The rotary damper 450 is provided on the support portion 42A of the detection lever 42 by selecting a position where the pinion gear 450A meshes with the gear 451 of the detection lever 42. The rotary damper 450 is one-way, and when the detection lever 42 in the first posture rotates to the second posture (clockwise in the illustrated example), the detection lever 42 is allowed to freely rotate, When the detection lever 42 in the second posture rotates to the first posture (counterclockwise in the illustrated example), resistance is given to the rotation of the detection lever 42. The description of FIG. 34 can be used for the operation of the damping mechanism 45 of FIG.

In the aspect shown in FIG. 36, a damping mechanism 45 is provided on the support portion 42 </ b> A of the detection lever 42. The damping mechanism 45 includes a linear motion damper 452 provided with an extendable pressing body 452A. As shown in FIG. 36 (A), when the detection lever 42 is in the first posture, the pressing body 452A is in the telescopic posture, and as shown in FIG. 36 (B), the detection lever 42 is in the second posture. At some point, the pressing body 452A is in the extended posture. The linear damper 452 is configured to generate a resistance force when the pressing body 452A contracts, and automatically expands and recovers, and when the detection lever 42 rotates from the first posture to the second posture. When the detection lever 42 is rotated from the second posture to the first posture (clockwise in the example shown), the detection lever 42 is allowed to freely rotate (clockwise in the illustrated example). In addition, the pressing body 452A abuts against a predetermined portion on the periphery of the detection lever 42 and contracts while pressing the predetermined portion, thereby giving resistance to the rotation of the detection lever 42. The description of FIG. 34 can be used for the operation of the damping mechanism 45 of FIG.

[G-4] Fourth Mode A fourth mode will be described with reference to FIGS. 39 to 45. The lock device 9 (the lock drum 90, the winding drum 91, the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 shown in FIGS. Is provided). Regarding the details of the configuration and operation of the locking device 9, the above description can be used. Moreover, the description as stated above can be used for elements having the same reference numbers. In the fourth aspect, a delay mechanism 46 that delays recovery of the first rotation lever 92 is provided. In the illustrated embodiment, the seat plate slow down device is not provided, but a slow down device may be provided in combination. Further, the delay mechanisms shown in FIGS. 33 to 36 may be combined.

As shown in FIGS. 41 to 42, the delay mechanism 46 includes a rotary damper 460, a rotating arm 461, a connecting bar 462, and a support plate 463. The support plate 463 extends vertically, and is fixed to the lower surface of the upper surface portion 400 of the upper seat plate 40 so as to hang from the upper surface portion 400 of the upper seat plate 40. A rotary damper 460 is fixed to the surface portion of the support plate 463.

The rotating arm 461 has a vertical posture extending substantially in the vertical direction. The base end (upper end) of the rotating arm 461 is connected to the rotary damper 460 and the distal end (lower end) is connected to one end of the connecting bar 462. It is connected to a nearby part. The connecting bar 462 extends in the length direction of the seat plate 4, and one end of the connecting bar 462 is connected to the wire 43 via the coil spring 98, and the other end of the connecting bar 462 is the first time. It is connected to the lower end of the moving lever 92. The connecting bar 462 moves left and right in the length direction of the seat plate 4 in conjunction with the rotation of the first rotation lever 92 in the first direction and the rotation in the second direction. The rotation arm 461 is rotated in the first direction and the second direction in conjunction with the left and right movement of the connecting bar 462.

The rotary damper 460 is a one-way damper and freely allows the rotation of the rotation arm 461 in the first direction without giving resistance to the rotation of the rotation arm 461 in the first direction. By applying resistance to the rotation of the moving arm 461 in the second direction, the moving speed of the connecting bar 462 and the rotating speed of the first rotating lever 92 in the second direction are reduced.

The upper seat plate 40 is provided with a plurality of detection levers 42 at intervals in the length direction of the seat plate 4. As shown in FIGS. 43 to 45, the detection lever 42 is rotatably attached to a support portion 42 </ b> A fixed inside the upper surface portion 400 of the upper seat plate 40. In a normal posture, the seat plate 4 is in a state in which the lower seat plate 41 is suspended from the upper seat plate 40. Specifically, as shown in FIG. The contact piece 411 formed on the upper ends of the left and right side surface portions 413 of the lower seat plate 41 is hooked on the contact piece 402 formed on the lower end of the side surface portion 401, so that the It is suspended so that it can move up and down. 41, the width of the internal space of the seat plate 4 (the upper seat plate 40 and the lower seat plate 41) is much larger than the delay device 46, so that the upper seat plate 41 is moved when the lower seat plate 41 is moved upward. A space allowing the tilt of the lower seat plate 41 with respect to 40 in the front-rear direction is secured, and even if the floor surface is tilted, it is possible to cope with it well.

The detection lever 42 includes a contacted portion 420 ′. In the normal posture shown in FIGS. 43 and 45, the contact piece 411 of the lower seat plate 41 is lowered to the contacted portion 420 ′ of the detection lever 42. It is close from the side. When an obstacle hits the lower surface 410 of the lower seat plate 41 and the lower seat plate 41 moves upward relative to the upper seat plate 40, the contact piece 411 of the lower seat plate 41 contacts the contacted portion 420 ′ from the lower side. The detection lever 42 rotates in a direction away from the lower end of the first rotation lever 92, and the wire 43 rotates the first rotation lever 92 in the first direction. To move. In the posture in which the lower seat plate 41 is moved up to the upper limit position with respect to the upper seat plate 40, the horizontal portion 414 of the lower seat plate 41 is in contact with the contact piece 402 of the upper seat plate 40 from below (FIG. 44). (See the right figure in FIG. 45). It should be noted that when it comes into contact with an obstacle, it is set to stop its own weight drop and electric drop before the lower seat plate 41 moves up to the upper limit position.

The seat plate shown in FIG. 45 has a larger width dimension than the seat plates shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, but the extended portion 4110 is formed by extending the contact piece 411 of the lower seat plate 41 in an opposing manner toward the inside. Thus, the extended portion 4110 comes into contact with the contacted portion 420 ′ of the detection lever 42. By doing so, it is possible to use the common detection lever 42 with the narrow seat plate 4 shown in FIGS. 43 and 44.

The operation of the lock device 9, the detection lever 42, and the delay mechanism 46 will be described. In addition, please refer FIG. 26-30 for the effect | action of the locking device 9 suitably. When the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 that is falling under its own weight comes into contact with an obstacle and the lower seat plate 41 moves up relative to the upper seat plate 40, the detection lever 42 moves in conjunction with the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41. It is designed to rotate. Lower end portions (in a normal posture) of the plurality of detection levers 42 are connected to each other by a wire 43, and one end of the wire 43 is connected to the first rotation lever 92 via a coil spring 98 and a delay mechanism 46. . When the lower seat plate 41 moves up relatively with respect to the upper seat plate 40, the detection lever 42 rotates in a direction away from the lock drum 90 and pulls the wire 43 in a direction away from the lock drum 90. The rotation lever 92 rotates from the first posture to the second posture. At this time, the one-way rotary damper 460 of the damping mechanism 46 does not give resistance to the rotation of the rotation arm 461 that accompanies the movement of the connecting bar 462. 1 rotation lever 92 rotates.

When the first rotation lever 92 rotates in the first direction from the first posture (FIG. 26), the first portion 920 of the first rotation lever 92 contacts the contact portion 935 of the second rotation lever 93. By pressing while in contact, the second turning lever 93 in the first position turns together with the first turning lever 92 in the first direction, and the locking portion 934 of the second turning lever 93 is moved. Is locked to the tooth-like locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 to restrict the rotation of the lock drum 90 (FIG. 27).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 26, the third rotation lever 94 in the first posture is brought into contact with the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 in the first posture, so The rotation is restricted. The second rotating lever 93 in the first posture rotates in the first direction together with the first rotating lever 92, so that the contact portion 936 of the second rotating lever 93 is moved to the third rotating lever 94. At the same time as it gets over the corner portion of the locking portion 941 and locks to the locking portion 941, the third rotation lever 94 rotates downward under its own weight and assumes the second posture (FIG. 27).

When the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 are in the second posture, the second posture of the first rotation lever 92 is held by the pulling force of the wire 43. The second posture of the second turning lever 93 is maintained by the first portion 920 of the first turning lever 92 in the second posture coming into contact with the contact portion 935 of the second turning lever 93. The second posture of the third rotation lever 94 is held by the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 coming into contact with the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94. Accordingly, when the wire 43 is pulled, that is, in the obstacle detection state, the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 maintain the second posture and are locked. The device 9 is in a locked state, and the rotation of the lock drum 90 is restricted.

When the rotation of the lock drum 90 is stopped, the withdrawal of the second wire W3 is restricted and the length of the second wire W3 becomes constant. In this state, the upper seat plate 40 (that is, the lock drum 90) is lowered with respect to the lower seat plate 41. Then, the first wire W2 is pulled through the second wire W3 and the relay device 8, and the first operating body 73 slides in the second direction. In the case of the electric descent, the first operating body 73 at the steady position moves in the second direction, the first micro switch SW1 is turned from ON to OFF, and the obstacle detection signal (seat plate operation signal) is detected as an obstacle. The driving of the switch 5 is stopped by the obstacle detection control panel 11A and the shutter control panel 11B which are transmitted to the control panel 11A and receive the obstacle detection signal, and the descent of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped. When the dead weight is being lowered, the first operating body 73 at the brake release position moves to the steady position (brake return position), so that the brake release lever 50 is returned and the brake is returned. The descent of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped by restricting the rotation.

When the lower seat plate 41 moves down after the obstacle is removed and the wire 43 is not pulled by the detection lever 42, the first rotating lever 92 in the second posture is moved in the second direction by the force of the coil spring 96. Start turning. At this time, the one-way rotary damper 460 of the delay device 46 provides resistance to the rotation of the rotation arm 461 in the second direction, and the rotation arm 461 slowly rotates in the second direction. The connecting bar 462 that has been pulled by the wire 43 and moved in the first direction slowly moves in the second direction. Therefore, the rotation speed of the first rotation lever 92 connected to the end of the connection bar 462 in the second direction is reduced.

When the first rotation lever 92 rotates a predetermined amount, the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 abuts against the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94 to act, and the third rotation lever The abutment portion 942 on the tip end side of 94 is pushed upward in conjunction with the turning of the first turning lever 92, and when the third turning lever 94 is pushed up by a predetermined amount, the third turning lever 94 is locked. The engagement state between the portion 941 and the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 is released (the second rotation lever 93 is kept locked until just before the engagement state is released), and the second The rotating lever 93 is instantaneously rotated in the second direction by the force of the coil spring 97, and the locked state between the locking portion 934 of the second rotating lever 93 and the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 is released. And the locked state is released. FIG. 29 shows a state immediately before the lock state is released.
