[0005]

Conventionally, as a method of regularly performing maintenance and inspection of the automatic door, a maintenance worker communicates with the control device of the automatic door by using an adjuster, Perform various operations such as reading various data stored in the computer, inputting new set values to the control device to adjust various control data (for example, opening speed and opening time), and appropriately changing the control data. It has been known. In this way, the history of communication performed between the regulator and the door-side control device shows the content of the maintenance service actually performed at the site, and if this is stored as a communication record, , It can be expected that the record will be effectively used for maintenance of automatic doors.

The present invention has been made paying attention to such a point, and is provided with a control device for controlling the opening / closing operation of a door, and an adjusting device for adjusting the control content and the control device. In an automatic door in which communication is performed between the regulators, a communication record is created by sequentially storing the contents of the communication at the time of communication between the regulator and the control device, and the automatic door is stored. Is the maintenance management method.

According to this method, since the record of the communication performed between the regulator and the control device at the time of maintenance and inspection of the automatic door is kept, the communication record is actually used in the past. It is possible to directly and accurately grasp the actual condition of the maintenance service, and this can greatly contribute to quality assurance of the service, quality improvement, work improvement, and the like. Moreover, the communication record can be collected only by saving the communication content during the maintenance work that is normally performed (during communication between the regulator and the control device). There is no need to take any special process. Therefore, useful information can be easily obtained without adversely affecting the work efficiency.

Further, if the communication records collected from a plurality of automatic doors are stored in a common management computer provided in a maintenance base away from each automatic door, maintenance work of the automatic doors scattered in various places is performed. Can be collectively managed at the maintenance base, and systematic and highly efficient maintenance management can be realized.

Various techniques may be used to keep a record of the communications made between the regulator and the controller.

For example, if the contents of the communication are stored in a recording medium provided in the adjuster during the communication between the adjuster and the control device, the adjuster ( Alternatively, by taking the recording medium removed from the adjuster back to the maintenance base, the communication record stored in the recording medium can be easily input to the management computer provided in the maintenance base.

Further, at the time of communication between the adjuster and the control device, the contents of the communication may be stored in a recording medium connected to the control device so as to be separable from the control device. After the communication, the recording medium is separated from the control device and brought back to the maintenance base, so that the communication record stored in the recording medium can be input to the management computer provided in the maintenance base.

Further, during communication between the adjuster and the control device, the contents of the communication are stored in a recording medium provided in the control device, and the communication record stored in the recording medium is collected as data. It may be collected outside the control device by a terminal, or at the time of communication between the regulator and the control device, the contents of the communication may be transmitted to a management computer provided at a maintenance base away from each automatic door, The communication records can also be collected and stored by storing the communication contents as communication records by the management computer.

The present invention is also an automatic door system suitable for carrying out the maintenance management method, comprising a controller for controlling the opening / closing operation of a door and the controller for adjusting the control content. In an automatic door system equipped with an adjuster that performs communication with each other, a recording medium that is separable from the control device, and a record that saves the communication record in the recording medium during communication between the adjuster and the control device. And means.

According to this automatic door system, after communication is performed between the regulator and the control device, the recording medium in which the communication is stored is separated from the control device and brought back to, for example, a maintenance site. Correspondence records can be kept.

Here, in saving the communication record, for example, the contents of communication are sequentially saved in a memory (separate from the "recording medium") incorporated in the control device, and after the communication is completed. The contents stored in the memory may be collectively transferred to the recording medium as a communication record, or the contents of the communication may be directly stored in the recording medium at the time of communication between the regulator and the control device. You may do it.

The recording medium can take various forms.

For example, if the recording medium is provided in an adjusting device which is separable from the control device, the adjusting device is used as it is for communication with the control device, and then the adjusting device is directly used as a maintenance base or the like. By taking it back, the communication record can be stored at the maintenance base concerned.

In this case, if the adjuster is configured to be able to communicate with a plurality of automatic door control devices, it becomes possible to collect communication records for a plurality of automatic doors using a common adjuster. .

When the recording medium is detachably attached to the adjuster, the recording medium may be detached from the adjuster after communication and the recording medium alone may be brought back to a maintenance base or the like. It is also possible, and by attaching and detaching multiple recording media to and from the adjuster, a single adjuster can be used to store large-capacity communication records, and the recording media used for each automatic door can be changed. It is also possible to organize and save communication records.

Further, in the case where the regulator has a communication interface for outputting information stored in a recording medium incorporated in the regulator to the outside, the regulator is separated from the control device after the communication. Then, by connecting the communication interface to, for example, a management computer provided at a maintenance site, the communication record stored in the recording medium can be input to the management computer.

Further, the recording medium may be provided in the adjuster or may be detachably connected to the control device.

The present invention also provides an automatic door system comprising a controller for controlling the opening / closing operation of a door and an adjuster for communicating with the controller to adjust the control contents. Means for storing the communication record in a recording medium provided in the control device during communication between the device and the control device, and a communication interface for outputting the communication record stored in the recording medium to an external device It is equipped with and.

According to this structure, at the time of communication between the adjuster and the control device, the communication record is stored in the recording medium provided in the control device, and then, for example, a data recovery terminal is connected to the communication interface. Then, the communication record can be collected from the communication interface to the outside of the control device.

In each of the above automatic door systems, the recording means includes at least one of an index for identifying the control device with which the communication has been made and an index for identifying the regulator with which the communication has been made. With the configuration including the index, even if the communication records relating to the plurality of control devices and the communication records relating to the plurality of adjusters are directly input to the common management computer, the communication records can be mutually identified by using the index as a mark. It can be stored in the state.

The present invention also provides an automatic door system comprising a control device for controlling the opening / closing operation of a door, and an adjuster for communicating with the control device for adjusting the control contents. When communication is performed between the device and the control device, the communication means is provided with a transmission means for transmitting the content of the communication to a management computer provided at a maintenance base away from the door.

With this configuration, the contents of the communication performed between the adjuster and the control device can be directly transmitted to the management computer and stored in the same computer.

Also in this system, the transmitting means, when transmitting the contents of the communication to the management computer, is an index for identifying the control device with which the communication has been made, and for identifying the regulator with which the communication has been made. With the configuration in which at least one of the indexes is transmitted together, each communication record can be accurately stored in the management computer so as to be mutually distinguishable.
