【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このため、近年では、中柱の着脱の簡素化が求められ、中柱の着脱作業が容易にできる開閉装置の開発が課題となっていた。
【０００６】
本発明は、このような点に鑑みなされたもので、中柱の着脱作業が容易にできる開閉装置を提供することを目的する。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項１記載の開閉装置は、開口部を開閉する開閉体と、前記開口部の開口時に前記開閉体が収容される収容体と、前記開閉体を案内するガイド部を有する着脱可能な中柱とを備え、前記中柱の取付けにより収容体側配線と中柱側配線とが接続され、前記中柱の取外しにより前記収容体側配線と前記中柱側配線との接続が解除されるものである。
【０００８】
そして、中柱の取付けにより収容体側配線と中柱側配線とが接続され、中柱の取外しにより収容体側配線と中柱側配線との接続が解除されるものであるため、中柱の着脱作業が容易になる。
【０００９】
請求項２記載の開閉装置は、開口部を開閉する開閉体と、前記開口部の開口時に前記開閉体が収容される収容体と、前記開閉体を案内するガイド部を有する着脱可能な中柱と、収容体側配線を巻取りおよび巻戻し可能な巻体とを備え、前記中柱の取付け時には前記収容体側配線が前記巻体から巻き戻されて前記収容体側配線と中柱側配線とが接続され、前記中柱の取外し時には前記収容体側配線と前記中柱側配線との接続が解除されて前記収容体側配線が前記巻体に巻き取られるものである。
【００１０】
そして、中柱の取付け時には収容体側配線が巻体から巻き戻されて収容体側配線と中柱側配線とが接続され、中柱の取外し時には収容体側配線と中柱側配線との接続が解除されて収容体側配線が前記巻体に巻き取られるものであるため、中柱の着脱作業が容易になる。
【００１１】
請求項３記載の開閉装置は、開口部を開閉する開閉体と、前記開口部の開口時に前記開閉体が収容される収容体と、前記開閉体を案内するガイド部を有する着脱可能な中柱と、前記開閉体を案内するガイド部を前記中柱の前記ガイド部との対向側に有する左右一対の縦枠体と、これら両縦枠体の下端側間にわたって配設された下枠体と、前記収容体内から前記縦枠体内および前記下枠体内を通ってこの下枠体の左右方向中間部から引き出された収容体側配線と、前記中柱の下端側から引き出され、前記中柱の取付け時には前記収容体側配線と接続され、前記中柱の取外し時には前記収容体側配線との接続が解除される中柱側配線とを備えるものである。
【００１２】
そして、収容体内から縦枠体内および下枠体内を通ってこの下枠体の左右方向中間部から引き出された収容体側配線と、中柱の下端側から引き出され中柱の取付け時には収容体側配線と接続され中柱の取外し時には収容体側配線との接続が解除される中柱側配線とを備えるものであるため、中柱の着脱作業が容易になる。
【００１３】
請求項４記載の開閉装置は、開口部を開閉する開閉体と、この開閉体を案内するガイド部を有する着脱可能な中柱と、この中柱内に配設された無線式の電気部品とを備えるものである。
【００１４】
そして、無線式の電気部品を中柱内に配設したものであるため、例えば収容体側配線と中柱側配線との接続・接続解除を行う必要がなく、中柱の着脱作業が容易になる。
【００１５】
請求項５記載の開閉装置は、請求項１ないし４のいずれか一記載の開閉装置において、中柱の取付けにより出力される確認信号の入力を条件に開閉体の閉動作を有効とする制御手段を備えるものである。
【００１６】
そして、制御手段が中柱の取付けにより出力される確認信号の入力を条件に開閉体の閉動作を有効とするため、中柱が取り外された状態で開閉体が閉動作するようなことが防止される。
【００１７】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の第１の実施の形態について図１ないし図４を参照して説明する。
【００１８】
図１ないし図３において、１は連装窓シャッタ等の開閉装置で、この開閉装置１は、左右方向に長手方向を有する幅広の１つの開口部２を昇降により開閉する複数、例えば本実施の形態によれば左右に隣り合う２つの略面状の開閉体（シャッタカーテン等）３を備えている。
【００１９】
また、開閉装置１は、開口部２の開口時に各開閉体３がそれぞれ収容される左右に隣り合う２つの収容体（シャッタボックス等）４を備えている。各収容体４内には、開閉体３等を駆動制御する開閉機や制御装置等の制御手段５が配設されている。
【００２０】
さらに、開閉装置１は、開口部２の閉鎖時に開口部２の左右方向中間位置、すなわち例えば左右方向中央位置に位置する上下方向に長手状の１本の着脱可能な中柱７を備えている。
【００２１】
この中柱７は、図４等に示されるように、隣り合う２つの開閉体３の互いに対向する各側縁部（対向縁部である内側縁部）を案内する上下方向のガイド部８を左右両側に有しているとともに、このガイド部８に隣接した上下方向の筒状部９を左右両側に有している。
【００２２】
各筒状部９の下端部内には、開口部２の閉鎖時に開閉体３を下限位置にロックする電気部品である電動ロック（電気仕掛けの施解錠機構）１０が配設されている。そして、この中柱７の下端部内に配設された有線式の各電動ロック１０は、制御手段５にて制御されるもので、図示しないソレノイドおよびガイド部８内に対して進退するフック等にて構成されている。
【００２３】
また、この中柱７は、上下動可能な取付用可動部１１を下端側に有し、この取付用可動部１１には水平状の操作板１２が形成されている。
【００２４】
さらに、この中柱７は、両ガイド部８間に位置するコネクタ取付部１３を上端側に有しているとともに、両筒状部９間に位置する水平板状の取付部１４を上端側に有している。この取付部１４には、収容体４の被取付板部１６が挿入される孔１５が形成されている。
【００２５】
また、開閉装置１は、開閉体３の外側縁部を案内するガイド部２１を中柱７のガイド部８との対向側に有する上下方向に長手状の左右一対の縦枠体２２を備え、これら両縦枠体２２の下端側間にわたって左右方向に長手状の下枠体２３が配設されている。
【００２６】
そして、各縦枠体２２の下端部内には、対応する中柱７内の電動ロック１０とともに開口部２の閉鎖時に開閉体３を下限位置にロックする電気部品である電動ロック２０が配設されている。この縦枠体２２内の電動ロック２０は、中柱７内の電動ロック１０と基本的に同一のもので、配線２４を介して制御手段５に接続されており、この制御手段５にて制御される。
【００２７】
また、下枠体２３は、略コ字状の被取付部２６を有し、この被取付部２６には取付用可動部１１が操作板１２で操作されて挿入される孔（図示せず）が形成されている。
【００２８】
また一方、開閉装置１は、収容体４内に位置する収容体側配線（例えば電線等）３１と、中柱７内に位置する中柱側配線（例えば電線等）３２とを備えている。
【００２９】
この収容体側配線３１の一端部は、制御手段５に接続され、この収容体側配線３１の他端部は、収容体４のコネクタ取付部３３に固定的に取り付けられた一方側コネクタ３６に接続されている。
【００３０】
また、中柱側配線３２の一端部は、電動ロック１０のソレノイドに接続され、この中柱側配線３２の他端部は、中柱７のコネクタ取付部１３に固定的に取り付けられた他方側コネクタ３７に接続されている。なお、両配線３１，３２を接続するためのコネクタ３６，３７は例えば磁石が取り付けられた接点方式の電気コネクタ等である。
【００３１】
そして、この開閉装置１は、開口部２の左右方向中央位置への中柱７の取付けにより収容体側配線３１と中柱側配線３２とがコネクタ３６，３７を介して接続され、開口部２の左右方向中央位置からの中柱７の取外しにより収容体側配線３１と中柱側配線３２との接続が解除される構成となっている。
【００３２】
すなわち、中柱７の上端側の取付部１４の孔１５に収容体４の被取付板部１６を挿入し、中柱７の下端側の取付用可動部１１を下枠体２３の被取付部２６の孔に挿入することにより、中柱７を収容体４および下枠体２３に対して固定的に取り付けると、この中柱７の取付けと略同時に一方側コネクタ３６と他方側コネクタ３７とが連結され、その結果、収容体側配線３１と中柱側配線３２とがコネクタ３６，３７を介して接続された状態となる。
【００３３】
また、上下の収容体４および下枠体２３に対する中柱７の取付けにより確認信号が制御手段５に対して自動的に出力され、制御手段５はその確認信号の入力を条件に開閉体３の閉動作を有効として開閉体３を駆動制御するものである。なお、中柱７の取付けにより確認信号を出力する信号出力手段等の機能を有していなくてもよい。
【００３４】
また、下枠体２３の被取付部２６の孔から中柱７の下端側の取付用可動部１１を脱出させた後、中柱７の下側を手前に引くようにして中柱７の上端側の取付部１４の孔１５から収容体４の被取付板部１６を脱出させることにより、中柱７を収容体４および下枠体２３から取り外すと、この中柱７の取外しと略同時に一方側コネクタ３６と他方側コネクタと３７の連結が解除され、その結果、収容体側配線３１と中柱側配線３２との接続が解除された状態となる。
【００３５】
次に、上記開閉装置１の動作等を説明する。
【００３６】
開口部２を閉鎖する場合、開口部２の左右方向中央位置に中柱７を取り付けて、収容体側配線３１と中柱側配線３２とをコネクタ３６，３７を介して接続する。すると、制御手段５が中柱７の取付けにより出力される確認信号を入力し、その後、図示しない操作ボックスの閉スイッチがオンされると、制御手段５は、開閉体３の閉動作を有効として開閉体３を制御する。
【００３７】
そして、この制御手段５の制御により開閉体３が下降して開口部２が閉鎖され、その開閉体３は下限位置で電動ロック１０，２０にてロックされる。
【００３８】
なお、中柱７が取り外された状態で、図示しない操作ボックスの閉スイッチがオンされても、制御手段５は、確認信号を入力していないため、開閉体３の閉動作を有効とせず、開閉体３の閉動作は行われない。
【００３９】
一方、開口部２を開口させる場合は、図示しない操作ボックスの開スイッチをオンして制御手段５に電動ロック１０，２０のロック解除および開閉体３の開動作を行わせた後に、開口部２の左右方向中央位置から中柱７を取り外して、収容体側配線３１と中柱側配線３２との接続を解除する。
【００４０】
そして、上記開閉装置１によれば、中柱７の取付けにより収容体側配線３１と中柱側配線３２とがコネクタ３６，３７を介して接続され、中柱７の取外しにより収容体側配線３１と中柱側配線３２との接続が解除されるものであるため、中柱７の着脱と配線３１，３２の接続・接続解除とをそれぞれ別々に行う必要がなく、中柱７の着脱作業が容易にできる。
【００４１】
また、制御手段５が中柱７の取付けつまり例えば中柱７の上端部の取付けにより出力される確認信号の入力を条件に開閉体３の閉動作を有効とするため、中柱７が取り外された状態で開閉体３が閉動作するようなことを防止できる。
【００４２】
本発明の第２の実施の形態について図５および図６を参照して説明する。
【００４３】
図５および図６に示す開閉装置１ａは、前記開閉装置１とは異なり、収容体４内に位置して収容体側配線３１を巻取りおよび巻戻し可能な自動巻取り式のコードリール等の巻体４１を備えている。
【００４４】
また、この開閉装置１ａのコネクタ３６，３７は、前記開閉装置１とは異なり、コネクタ取付部１３，３３には固定されていない。
【００４５】
さらに、この開閉装置１ａの中柱側配線３２は、前記開閉装置１とは異なり、中柱７の上下方向略中央部から引き出され、この引き出された部分の先端に他方側コネクタ３７が接続されている。なお、開閉装置１ａのその他の構成は前記開閉装置１の構成と基本的に同一である。
【００４６】
そして、この開閉装置１ａによれば、中柱７の取付け時には収容体側配線３１が巻体４１から所望量巻き戻されて収容体側配線３１と中柱側配線３２とがコネクタ３６，３７を介して接続され（図５参照）、中柱７の取外し時には収容体側配線３１と中柱側配線３２との接続が解除されて収容体側配線３１が巻体４１に自動的に巻き取られるものであるため（図６参照）、配線３１，３２の接続・接続解除を背伸びが必要な高い位置で行う必要がなく、作業が楽な低い位置で行うことができ、よって中柱７の着脱作業が容易にできる。
【００４７】
しかも、中柱７の取外し時には、収容体側配線３１を巻体４１に巻き取ることで、一方側コネクタ３６がぶら下がっているという見苦しさをなくすこともできる。
【００４８】
本発明の第３の実施の形態について図７を参照して説明する。
【００４９】
図７に示す開閉装置１ｂの収容体側配線３１は、前記開閉装置１とは異なり、収容体４内から縦枠体２２内および下枠体２３内を順次通ってこの下枠体２３の左右方向中間部の開口４３から上方に引き出され、この引き出された部分の先端に一方側コネクタ３６が接続されている。なお、下枠体２３の開口４３は例えば中柱７の下端部に形成された差込部（図示せず）が差し込まれる部分である。
【００５０】
また、この開閉装置１ｂの中柱側配線３２は、前記開閉装置１とは異なり、中柱７の下端側から引き出され、この引き出された部分の先端に他方側コネクタ３７が接続されている。なお、開閉装置１ｂのその他の構成は前記開閉装置１の構成と基本的に同一である。
【００５１】
そして、この開閉装置１ｂによれば、下枠体２３の左右方向中間部から引き出された収容体側配線３１と、中柱７の下端側から引き出され中柱７の取付け時には収容体側配線３１とコネクタ３６，３７を介して接続され中柱７の取外し時には収容体側配線３１との接続が解除される中柱側配線３２とを備えるものであるため、配線３１，３２の接続・接続解除を背伸びが必要な高い位置で行う必要がなく、作業が楽な低い位置で行うことができ、よって中柱７の着脱作業が容易にできる。
【００５２】
本発明の第４の実施の形態について図８を参照して説明する。
【００５３】
図８に示す開閉装置１ｃは、前記開閉装置１とは異なり、開口部２の閉鎖時に開閉体３を下限位置にロックする無線式の電気部品である電動ロック１０ａを備えている。
【００５４】
そして、この電動ロック１０ａには無線信号（例えば電波または光等）を受信する受信機４５が接続され、この受信機４５には電源手段である太陽電池４６が接続されており、これら電動ロック１０ａ、受信機４５および太陽電池４６は例えば中柱７の下端部内に配設されている。なお、縦枠体２２の下端部内の電動ロック２０は、有線式および無線式のいずれのものでもよい。
【００５５】
また、制御手段５には、収容体４内に位置して無線信号を送信する送信機４７が接続されている。なお、開閉装置１ｃのその他の構成は前記開閉装置１の構成と基本的に同一である。
【００５６】
このような開閉装置１ｃでは、例えば図８に示すような開口部２の閉鎖状態時に、図示しない操作ボックスの開スイッチがオンされると、送信機４７から無線信号である例えばロック解除信号が送信され、このロック解除信号を受信機４５が受信し、その結果、電動ロック１０ａによる開閉体３のロックが解除される。
【００５７】
そして、この開閉装置１ｃによれば、開閉体３をロックする無線式の電動ロック１０ａを中柱７内に配設したものであるため、例えば収容体側配線と中柱側配線との接続・接続解除を行う必要がなく、中柱７の着脱作業が容易にできる。
【００５８】
なお、上記第１の実施の形態ないし第３の実施の形態の開閉装置１，１ａ，１ｂにおける収容体側配線３１および中柱側配線３２は、電動ロック１０による開閉体３のロックを解除するためのロック解除信号を導くものには限定されず、例えば、中柱７に上下方向全長にわたって設けられたテープスイッチからの障害物検知信号、中柱７の下端側に設けられた下限リミットスイッチからの開閉体下限検知信号、中柱７の下端側に設けられた光センサからの防犯信号等を導くもの等でもよい。
【００５９】
また、収容体側配線３１および中柱側配線３２は、ロック解除信号、障害物検知信号等の電気信号を導く電線には限定されず、例えば空気等の流体、光、音等を導くものであってもよい。
【００６０】
さらに、ガイドレールおよび外枠等からなる縦枠体２２が着脱可能なものである場合は、前記各実施の形態の中柱７の着脱作業の容易化を図る手段をその着脱可能な縦枠体２２に適用することもできる。また、縦枠体２２が着脱可能なものである場合に、制御手段５が縦枠体２２の取付けにより出力される確認信号の入力を条件に開閉体３の閉動作を有効として開閉体３を駆動制御するようにしてもよい。
【００６１】
また、開閉装置１，１ａ，１ｂ，１ｃは、中柱７の取付けにより出力される確認信号の入力を条件に開閉体３の閉動作を有効とする制御手段５を備えるものには限定されず、例えば開閉体３の下降を規制するストッパ手段により中柱７が取り外された状態で開閉体が閉動作することを防止するもの等でもよい。
【００６２】
さらに、開閉装置１ｃの中柱７内に配設される無線式の電気部品は、無線式の電動ロック１０ａには限定されず、例えば無線式の障害物検知用のテープスイッチ、無線式の下限リミットスイッチ、無線式の防犯用の光センサ等でもよく、このようなテープスイッチ等を中柱７内に配設する場合には中柱７側に送信機を設けかつ収容体４側に受信機を設ければよい。
【００６３】
また、開閉装置１の一方側コネクタ３６は、中柱７のがたつきの悪影響を受けないようにコネクタ取付部３３に緩衝手段等を介して取り付けるようにしてもよい。
【００６４】
さらに、開閉装置１，１ａ，１ｂ，１ｃは、窓シャッタには限定されず、その他のシャッタ装置、ブラインド装置或いはスクリーン装置等にも適用することができる。
【００６５】
また、開閉装置１，１ａ，１ｂ，１ｃは、１つの開口部２を昇降により開閉する左右に隣り合う２つの開閉体３と、開口部２の開口時に両開閉体３が収容される左右に隣り合う２つの収容体４と、両開閉体の互いに対向する各対向縁部を案内する上下方向のガイド部８を有する１本の中柱７とを備えたものには限定されず、例えば３つ以上の開閉体で開口部２を開閉するものでもよく、また複数の開閉体を１つの収容体に収容するもの等でもよい。なお、中柱の本数は、開閉体の数より１つ少ない数となる。
【００６６】
さらに、上記各実施の形態を適宜組み合わせることにより複合的なものとすることもできる。
【００６７】
【発明の効果】
請求項１の発明によれば、中柱の取付けにより収容体側配線と中柱側配線とが接続され、中柱の取外しにより収容体側配線と中柱側配線との接続が解除されるものであるため、中柱の着脱作業が容易にできる。
