Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an infrared ray remote control transmitter of multi-channel corresponding-type for a motorized curtain whose structure and operation are simplified by decreasing the number of switches. SOLUTION: When an opening, closing and stop switch is operated (S1), previously selected address information is read (S2), and an address selection code is transmitted (S3) to check that the number of times of transmissions of the selected address code has reached a prescribed number of times (S4). Then, after it is checked that a prescribed first interval has been completed (S5), the operation code of opening, closing and stop is transmitted (S6) and it is checked that the number of times of transmissions of the operation code has reached a prescribed number of times (S7). Then, it is checked that an input from an operating switch is turned off (S8), the end of a prescribed second interval is recognized (S9), and an address selection cancellation code is transmitted to release the address information read in the step S2 (S10). Thus, after it is checked that the number of times of transmission has reached a prescribed number of times (S11), a curtain motor is allowed to perform prescribed operations of opening, closing and stopping.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a multi-channel infrared remote control transmitter for an electric curtain for controlling a plurality of curtain motors.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the following two types of methods are considered to be the mainstream as a code transmission method of an infrared remote controller for controlling a plurality of curtain motors. A method in which each operation switch and an operation code associated with the operation switch are provided for each address and / or operation of the curtain motor to be operated, and the curtain motor is controlled. FIG. 5 shows an example of a remote control transmitter to which this method is applied. The remote control transmitter a has an open / close / stop switch b for address 1 and an open / close / stop switch c for address 2. And an open / close / stop switch d for address 3. That is, [the number of curtain motors you want to operate]
× [3] The number of switches of the transmitter increases at a rate of [3].

[0003] A system in which operation codes necessary for controlling a curtain motor are transmitted in order, and the curtain motor is controlled. For example, in the flowchart of FIG. 3, first, the address selection switch is manually operated, the address selection code is transmitted to select the curtain motor address, and the curtain motor to be drive-controlled is determined. Is manually operated to transmit the opening / closing / stopping operation code to operate the curtain motor. Thereafter, the address selection release switch (clear button) is manually operated to transmit the address selection release code, and the apparatus is in a standby state for the next control operation. FIG. 4 shows an example of a remote control transmitter to which this method is applied. The remote control transmitter a includes a plurality (for example, ten) of address selection switches b, a clear switch c for canceling address selection, and An opening operation instruction switch d, a stop instruction switch e, and a closing operation instruction switch f are provided.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned conventional control methods include:
Each had the following problems. In the system, an operation switch is required for each address and / or each operation.
It is necessary to provide switches corresponding to the number of curtain motors to be controlled in the transmitter, such as a close / stop switch and an open / close / stop switch for address 2, which increases the number of switches and complicates operation. There was a problem. In the system, it is necessary to transmit the operation code necessary to control the curtain motor, for example, in the order of “address selection code” and “operation control code”, and time loss until the curtain motor actually starts operating And the operation becomes complicated.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-channel type infrared remote controller for a motorized curtain, which has a simplified number of switches and a simplified operation.

[0006]

A curtain switch is operated by operating a single switch to continuously transmit a plurality of codes such as a curtain motor address selection code, a motor operation control code, and an address selection release code.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION One or more curtain motors, a controller corresponding to each curtain motor,
A multi-channel infrared remote control transmitter for a motorized curtain corresponding to one or a plurality of controllers, wherein the remote control transmitter is provided with an address selection switch and an open / close / close operation switch; The motor is controlled only by operating the operation switch. Further, by operating one switch, a plurality of codes such as an address selection code, a curtain motor operation control code, and an address selection release code are continuously transmitted to control the curtain motor.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An electric curtain control system to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIG. A control board (controller) 2 incorporated in each of the plurality of curtain motors 1, an infrared light receiving unit 3 for receiving a signal transmitted from a transmitter, and a single unit for remotely controlling the plurality of control boards 2 by infrared rays The control board 2 includes an address setting switch 4 and a multi-channel infrared remote controller transmitter 5 for electric curtains.

The infrared remote control transmitter 5 includes an open operation switch, an operation stop switch, a close operation switch, a curtain motor 1 to be controlled, and a control board (controller).
2, that is, the addresses to be controlled (in this embodiment, all, 1,
An address setting switch 4 for selecting (2, 3) is provided, and a remote control transmitting section for transmitting an infrared signal is provided. An infrared signal is transmitted to the infrared receiving section 3 of the address selected by the address setting switch 4 to select an address. Thereafter, the curtain at an arbitrary position is opened and closed by operating the open operation switch, the operation stop switch, and the close operation switch.

Referring to the flowchart of FIG. 1, the control operation of the present invention will be described. In the infrared remote control transmitter 5, when one of an open operation switch, an operation stop switch and a close operation switch is operated (S1), The address information selected in advance by the address selection switch 34 is read (S2), and the address selection code is transmitted (S3).
It is confirmed that the number of transmissions of the code of the selected address has reached a predetermined number of times (S4).

After confirming that the number of transmissions has reached a predetermined specified number of times, and then confirming that a predetermined first specified interval has ended (S5), an opening operation switch, an operation stop switch, and a closing operation are performed. The open / close / close operation code selected and input by the switch is transmitted (S6), and after confirming that the number of transmissions of the operation code has reached a predetermined number of times (S7), the open operation switch and the operation are transmitted. It is confirmed that the input from the stop switch and the closing operation switch has been turned off (S8), and it is confirmed that the second predetermined interval has been completed (S9).

After confirming the end of the second specified interval, an address selection release code is transmitted to release the address information read in step S2 (S10). After confirming that the number of transmissions has reached a predetermined number of times (S11),
The curtain motor is operated to open, close, and stop.

With the above configuration, the number of switches provided in the remote control transmitter can be reduced, the number of components can be reduced, the structure can be simplified, and the number of switches can be reduced.
All operations such as operation control of the curtain motor and selection of addresses can be performed by one switch operation, and the simplicity of the control operation can be improved.
