Description

本発明は、赤外線変調光を発する投光器と、この赤外線変調光を受ける受光器とで構成される光線式検知装置に使用する双方向無線通信モジュール内蔵光軸調整ユニットに関するものである。 The present invention relates to an optical axis adjustment unit with a built-in bidirectional wireless communication module used in a light beam type detection device including a projector that emits infrared modulated light and a light receiver that receives the infrared modulated light.

光線式検知装置は、投光器と受光器を所定の距離だけ離して設置するものである。投光器から受光器に達する赤外線変調光の強さは、雨や霧等の気象条件や、装置のカバーや窓部の汚れによる減衰を考慮し、余裕を持った値としてある。例えば100mの距離を警戒する装置の場合、受光器側の受光信号レベルが最大時の1/100まで減衰しても検知信号を発しない程度にするのが一般的である。この性能を発揮させるために、照準装置と方向可変機能を備えた投光ユニットと受光ユニットを、それぞけ対応するユニットに向けて正確にセットする必要がある。受光器側では、赤外線変調光を受光し、その受光レベルを出力する受光量出力部を設け、その出力値を確認しながら受光ユニットの方向を調整している。投光器側では、照準装置を用いた調整のみをおこなっている。投光器側での、調整を考慮して、受光レベルを送信する専用の装置を、受光器と投光器に個別に接続する方法も考えられていた。それは、受光器側から投光器側に受光量出力部の受光レベルを送信し、受光量出力部の出力値を確認しながら、投光器側の投光ユニットの方向調整をおこなうというものである(例えば特許文献1参照)。

The light beam detecting device is a device in which a projector and a light receiver are separated by a predetermined distance. The intensity of the infrared modulated light reaching the light receiver from the projector is a value having a margin in consideration of weather conditions such as rain and fog, and attenuation due to dirt on the cover and window of the device. For example, in the case of a device that warns about a distance of 100 m, it is general that the detection signal is not generated even if the light reception signal level on the light receiver side is attenuated to 1/100 of the maximum. In order to exhibit this performance, it is necessary to accurately set the light projecting unit and the light receiving unit having the aiming device and the direction changing function toward the corresponding units. On the light receiver side, a light receiving amount output unit for receiving infrared modulated light and outputting the light receiving level is provided, and the direction of the light receiving unit is adjusted while checking the output value. On the projector side, only adjustment using an aiming device is performed. In consideration of adjustment on the projector side, a method of individually connecting a dedicated device for transmitting the received light level to the light receiver and the projector has been considered. That is, the light receiving level of the received light amount output unit is transmitted from the light receiver side to the projector side, and the direction of the light projecting unit on the projector side is adjusted while checking the output value of the received light amount output unit (for example, patents). Reference 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-190497

従来の、光線式検知装置の受光レベルを送信する専用の装置は、投光器用と、受光器用の2種類の装置が必要となる。このため、二人で光軸調整をおこなう場合、投光器担当、受光器担当と作業分担が決定されてしまい、複数の光線式検知装置を設置した場所で、移動しながら順に処理する上で効率が悪かった。効率を上げようとすると、投光器用と、受光器用の2種類の装置の両方を各担当者が持っていく必要性が生じ、使い勝手が悪かった。 The conventional dedicated device for transmitting the light receiving level of the light beam detecting device requires two types of devices for the projector and the light receiver. For this reason, when the optical axis adjustment is performed by two people, the task assignment with the projector and the receiver is determined, and it is efficient to process in order while moving at the place where a plurality of light detection devices are installed. It was bad. In order to increase the efficiency, it became necessary for each person in charge to take both types of devices for the projector and for the light receiver, which was not easy to use.

また、受光レベルを、受光器から投光器に一方的に送信するだけであり、投光器側から装置の作動状況をコントロールすることはできなかった。また、記憶手段を備えていなかったため、受光レベルは、別途記録しない限り、その後におこなう定期的な調整作業には反映されることはなかった。光軸調整と動作確認の作業は、別の作業として個別におこなわれており、作業の効率化は配慮されていなかった。 Further, the light reception level is only transmitted unilaterally from the light receiver to the projector, and the operation status of the apparatus cannot be controlled from the projector side. Further, since the storage means was not provided, the light reception level was not reflected in the periodic adjustment work performed thereafter unless it was recorded separately. The work of adjusting the optical axis and checking the operation is performed separately as separate work, and the efficiency of the work has not been considered.

本発明では、取り付けられた機器が、投光器であるのか受光器であるのかを判別する機器判別手段を備え、機器判別手段が、受光器であるとの判定をおこなうと、受光量出力部の出力値を表示し、その出力値を電波信号として発信し、機器判別手段が、投光器であるとの判定をおこなうと、受信中の電波信号を検波し、信号出力値を表示するようにした。双方向無線通信モジュールを内蔵し、投光器、受光器のどちらからでも、光軸調整ユニットの作動状態をコントロールできるようにした。各投光ユニット、受光ユニットそれぞれの作動状態を変え、それぞれの作動状態における出力値を記憶する自動チェックモードを備えた。 In the present invention, there is provided a device discriminating unit that discriminates whether the attached device is a projector or a light receiver, and when the device discriminating unit determines that it is a light receiver, the output of the received light amount output unit The value is displayed, the output value is transmitted as a radio wave signal, and when the device discriminating means determines that it is a projector, the radio wave signal being received is detected and the signal output value is displayed. A two-way wireless communication module is built in, so that the operating state of the optical axis adjustment unit can be controlled from either the projector or the receiver. An automatic check mode is provided in which the operating state of each light projecting unit and light receiving unit is changed and the output value in each operating state is stored.

本発明の双方向無線通信モジュール内蔵光軸調整ユニットは、投光器、受光器どちらに取り付けても、内蔵した機器判別手段が、自動的に投光器であるのか受光器であるのかを判別し動作するので、1種類のユニットを準備するだけでよくなり、投光器担当、受光器担当と作業分担が決定されることなく、光軸調整作業の合理化が図れる。双方向無線通信モジュールを内蔵し、投光器、受光器どちらからでも、光軸調整ユニットの作動状態をコントロールできるようになる。
また、自動チェックモードを備えたので、各投光ユニット、受光ユニットそれぞれの作動状態を変え、それぞれの作動状態における出力値を記憶することができ、定期的におこなう光軸調整作業のデータ管理の効率化も図ることができる。
The bi-directional wireless communication module built-in optical axis adjustment unit of the present invention operates by automatically determining whether the built-in device discriminating device is a light projector or a light receiver, regardless of whether it is attached to the light projector or the light receiver. It is only necessary to prepare one type of unit, and it is possible to rationalize the optical axis adjustment work without determining the work assignment between the projector and the receiver. A bi-directional wireless communication module is built in, and the operating state of the optical axis adjustment unit can be controlled from either the projector or the light receiver.
In addition, since it has an automatic check mode, it is possible to change the operating state of each light projecting unit and light receiving unit and store the output value in each operating state, and to manage the data of periodic optical axis adjustment work Efficiency can also be improved.

光線式検知装置には、双方向無線通信モジュール内蔵光軸調整ユニット30に対応したコネクタを装備するだけで済み、光線式検知装置の回路規模は従来のものと同等でよい。光軸調整および点検の作業が終了した後には、双方向無線通信モジュール内蔵光軸調整ユニット30は、投光器10、受光器20から取り外される。双方向無線通信モジュール内蔵光軸調整ユニット30内には、上段の受光量出力部の値、下段の受光量出力部の値、2個の投光ユニットの動作をオフした状態での受光ユニットの受光量出力部の出力値の総和、2個の投光ユニットの動作をオンした状態での受光器の2個の受光ユニットの受光量出力部の出力値の総和の値が記憶されるので、それらの値を再確認することができ、点検記録の保存が確実におこなわれる。上段の受光量出力部の値、下段の受光量出力部の値、2個の投光ユニットの動作をオフした状態での受光ユニットの受光量出力部の出力値の総和、2個の投光ユニットの動作をオンした状態での2個の受光ユニットの受光量出力部の出力値の総和の表示は、表示部31にデジタル表示し、音表示(レベルに応じた音程表示)をあわせておこなったが、アナログメーター表示や、LED等を用いた表示をおこなってもよい。2つの投光ユニットを備えた投光器と、それらに対応する2つの受光ユニットを備えた受光器に取り付ける双方向無線通信モジュール内蔵光軸調整ユニットについて説明したが、3つ以上の投光ユニットを備えた投光器と、それらに対応する3つ以上の受光ユニットを備えた受光器についても、同様の双方向無線通信モジュール内蔵光軸調整ユニットは、実現可能である。
As described above, if one pair (two units) of the optical axis adjustment units 30 with built-in bidirectional wireless communication module according to the present invention is used, the optical axis adjustment work can be performed at any number of places where a plurality of light beam detection devices are installed. Can be done. Since the automatic check mode is provided, it is possible to carry out the confirmation work without fail. Since the optical axis adjustment unit 30 with a built-in bidirectional wireless communication module can be driven by a battery, the display of the optical axis adjustment unit 30 with a built-in bidirectional wireless communication module is removed at a position away from the projector once fixed. It is possible to confirm the operation of the light beam detection device while confirming the above. That is, it is possible for one person to complete the operation test while confirming the operation status of the light receiver at an arbitrary position in the warning section of the light beam detection device.
The light beam detecting device only needs to be equipped with a connector corresponding to the optical axis adjusting unit 30 with built-in bidirectional wireless communication module, and the circuit size of the light beam detecting device may be the same as that of the conventional one. After completion of the optical axis adjustment and inspection work, the two-way wireless communication module built-in optical axis adjustment unit 30 is removed from the projector 10 and the light receiver 20. In the optical axis adjustment unit 30 with the built-in bidirectional wireless communication module, the value of the upper light receiving amount output unit, the value of the lower light receiving amount output unit, and the light receiving unit in the state where the operations of the two light projecting units are turned off. Since the sum of the output values of the received light amount output section is stored, the sum of the output values of the received light amount output sections of the two light receiving units of the light receiver when the operations of the two light projecting units are turned on is stored. These values can be reconfirmed, and inspection records are securely stored. The value of the upper received light amount output unit, the lower received light amount output unit, the sum of the output values of the received light amount output unit of the light receiving unit in the state where the operation of the two light emitting units is turned off, and two light projections The sum of the output values of the received light amount output sections of the two light receiving units when the unit is turned on is digitally displayed on the display section 31 and sound display (pitch display according to the level) is also performed. However, an analog meter display or display using an LED or the like may be performed. Although the projector with two light projecting units and the optical axis adjusting unit with built-in bidirectional wireless communication module attached to the light receiver with two light receiving units corresponding to them have been described, it has three or more light projecting units. The same optical axis adjustment unit with a built-in bidirectional wireless communication module can also be realized for the light projectors and the light receivers including three or more light receiving units corresponding thereto.
