When the control unit 9 receives the speed switching signal 11, the control unit 9 transmits a drive signal M for controlling the speed switching by the speed switching unit 12 to the opening / closing driving unit 5.

Next, movement control of the door 3 of the automatic door device 1 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the automatic door device 1 according to the present embodiment, the speed at which the door 3 moves from the closed state to the opening direction is defined as a positive speed, and the speed at which the door 3 moves from the open state to the closing direction is defined as the positive speed. -Speed. FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the position of the door 3 and the speed. Between the position 30 and the position 35, positions 31 to 34 are arranged from the position 30 side to the position 35 side as positions for switching the speed at the time of opening. Is set. Positions 36 to 39 are set from the position 35 side to the position 30 side as positions for switching the speed at the time of closing.

The control for opening the door 3 from the fully closed state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, first, the door speed is accelerated from 0 to a predetermined opening high speed 26. The door 3 is controlled to be accelerated in the opening acceleration section 40 from the position 30 to the position 31 and reach the opening high speed 26 at the position 31.
Subsequently, the door 3 is controlled to move at a constant opening high speed 26 in the opening high speed section 41 from the position 31 to the position 32.
Subsequently, when the door 3 reaches the position 32, the speed of the door 3 is controlled to be reduced. The door 3 is driven to decelerate in the open high-speed deceleration section 42 from the position 32 to the position 33, and is controlled so as to reach an open fine speed 27 that is lower than the open high speed 26 at the position 33.
Subsequently, the door 3 is controlled so as to move at a constant opening slow speed 27 in the opening slow speed section 43 from the position 33 to the position 34.
Subsequently, when the door 3 reaches the position 34, the door 3 is further subjected to deceleration control. The door 3 is controlled to decelerate in the open end stop section 44 from the position 34 to the position 35 so that the speed of the door 3 becomes zero at the position 35 where the door 3 is completely opened.

Next, the control for closing the door 3 from the fully opened state will be described.
First, the speed of the door 3 is accelerated from 0 to a predetermined closing high speed 28. The door 3 is controlled to be accelerated in the closing acceleration section 45 from the position 35 to the position 36 and reach the closing high speed 28 at the position 36.
Subsequently, the door 3 is controlled to move at a constant closing high speed 28 in the closing high speed section 46 from the position 36 to the position 37.
Subsequently, when the door 3 reaches the position 37, the speed of the door 3 is controlled to be reduced. The door 3 is driven to decelerate in a closed high speed deceleration section 47 from a position 37 to a position 38 and is controlled to reach a closing fine speed 29 that is lower than the closing high speed 28 at the position 38.
Subsequently, the door 3 is controlled so as to move at a constant closing slow speed 29 in the closing slow speed section 48 from the position 38 to the position 39.
Subsequently, when the door 3 reaches the position 39, the door 3 is further subjected to deceleration control. The door 3 is driven to decelerate in the closed end stop section 49 from the position 39 to the position 30 and is controlled so that the speed of the door 3 becomes zero at the position 30 where the door 3 is completely closed.

Here, in the automatic door apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, when the speed switching signal 11 from the multi-optical axis photoelectric sensor 10 is transmitted to the control unit 9, the control unit 9 performs control to switch the door speed.
In the control for switching the door speed, either the control for reducing the speed of the door 3 or the control for stopping the door can be arbitrarily selected.

In the control for reducing the speed of the door 3, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the opening speed of the door 3 is lower than the normal opening high speed 26 when opening, and the opening switching speed 26A is lower when closing. The closing speed of the door 3 becomes a closing switching speed 28A which is lower than the normal closing high speed 28. The solid line in the figure indicates the relationship between the position and speed of the door 3 when the control unit 9 receives the speed switching signal 11, and the two-dot chain line indicates the relationship between the position and speed of the door 3 according to FIG.
The control for opening or closing the door 3 at the opening switching speed 26A or the closing switching speed 28A is released when the door 3 is completely opened or completely closed, and the speed of the door 3 is the opening high speed 26 and the closing speed. Returned to high speed 28.

On the other hand, in the control for stopping the door 3, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the speed switching signal 11 is transmitted to the control unit 9, the control unit 9 sets the speed of the door 3 to 0, Stop the closing drive. In addition, it can also be set as control which stops in the open acceleration area 40 and the closed acceleration area 45. FIG. The solid line in the figure indicates the relationship between the position and speed of the door 3 when the control unit 9 receives the speed switching signal 11, and the two-dot chain line indicates the relationship between the position and speed of the door 3 according to FIG.
The control for stopping the opening and closing of the door 3 is performed while the speed switching signal 11 is received by the multi-optical axis photoelectric sensor 10 and after the speed switching signal 11 is not received. When the control unit 9 receives the opening instruction signal 7 at this time, the driving is made open, and when the opening instruction signal 7 is not received, the driving is made the closing drive. The control for stopping the opening and closing of the door 3 may be a control for opening the door 3 after a predetermined time has elapsed after the door 3 stops and the speed switching signal 11 is turned off.

Next, the flow of opening and closing the door 3 of the automatic door device 1 will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
First, when the automatic door device 1 is activated, the door 3 opening / closing control (slow-down door control) S10 based on the opening instruction signal 7 and the speed switching signal 11 shown in FIG. 8 is started. When the slow-down door control S10 is started, a conditional branch for calling each process for issuing a drive signal M to the opening / closing drive unit 5 shown in FIG. 5 is started and the process is determined.
In addition, when the automatic door device 1 is activated, when the speed switching signal 11 is received, it is selected whether the control is to reduce the opening / closing speed of the door 3 or the control to stop the opening / closing of the door 3. It is also possible to switch later.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the conditional branch includes a branch step S13 for calling the door closed end stop processing S40, a branch step S14 for calling the door open end processing S60, and a branch step S15 for calling the door open end stop processing S80. Is provided.

  When the automatic door device 1 is activated, it is not in any state of the door closed end stop processing S40, the door open end processing S60, and the door open end stop processing S80, so NO in all the conditional branches of the branch steps S13, S14, S15 Is selected, and the process is determined in the door closing process S20.

  As illustrated in FIG. 9, the door closing process S <b> 20 is a process for closing the door 3, and is responsible for a process from when the door 3 starts to be closed until the door 3 is closed. When the door closing process S20 is started, it is determined whether or not the door 3 is stopped in a closed state based on position information from the position sensor 17 (see FIG. 1) that measures the movement position of the door 3. (Processing S21).

  If it is determined in step S21 that the door 3 is closed and stopped (YES), a door closing signal, which will be described later, is transmitted after a drive signal for setting the moving speed of the door 3 to 0 is transmitted to the opening / closing drive unit 5. The process proceeds to the end stop process S40 (process S31). On the other hand, when it is determined that the door 3 is closed and not stopped (NO), it is subsequently determined whether or not the opening instruction signal 7 is input (processing S22).

  If it is determined in step S22 that the opening instruction signal 7 has been received (YES), a door opening operation described later is performed after transmitting a drive signal for setting the door speed to 0 to the opening / closing drive unit 5 that is being closed. The process proceeds to the intermediate process S60 (process S30). On the other hand, when it is determined that the opening instruction signal 7 has not been received (NO), it is subsequently determined whether or not the position of the door 3 is in the closed acceleration section 45 or the closed high speed section 46 (processing S23).

In the process S23, when it is determined that the position of the door 3 is in the closed acceleration section 45 or the closed high speed section 46 (YES), it is subsequently determined whether the speed switching signal 11 is received (process S24).
If it is determined in process 24 that the speed switching signal 11 has been received (YES), it is determined whether or not stop control is set when the speed switching signal 11 is subsequently received (process 25).

In the process 25, when it is determined that the stop control is set when the speed switching signal 11 is received (YES), the speed of the door 3 is set to 0 and the movement of the door 3 is stopped. Then, after the speed change signal 11 is not received, when the controller 9 receives the opening instruction signal 7, the drive is opened, and when the opening instruction signal 7 is not received, the drive is closed and the slow down door control is performed. The process returns to S10 (process 29).
On the other hand, in the process 25, when it is determined that the stop control is not set when the speed switching signal 11 is received (NO), a drive signal for setting the door 3 speed to the closing switching speed 28A is opened / closed. After transmitting to the unit 5, the process returns to the slow down door control S10 (process S28).

If it is determined in process 24 that the speed switching signal 11 has not been received (NO), a slow down door control S10 is transmitted after a drive signal for setting the speed of the door 3 to the closing high speed 28 is transmitted to the opening / closing drive unit 5. Return to (step S27).
If it is determined in step S23 that the position of the door 3 is not in the closed acceleration section 45 or the closed high speed section 46 (NO), that is, the position of the door 3 is in the closed high speed deceleration section 47 or the closed slow speed section 48. After the drive signal for setting the speed of the door 3 to the closing fine speed 29 is transmitted to the opening / closing drive unit 5, the process returns to the slow-down door control S10 (process S26).

  After returning from the processing S26, S27, S28, S29 to the slow-down door control S10 shown in FIG. 8, NO is selected in all the branching steps S13, S14, S15, and the door closing process S20 is called again. Therefore, the door closing process S20 is repeated until the door 3 is completely closed and the process proceeds to the door closing end stop process S40, or until the door opening process signal S7 is received and the process proceeds to the door opening process S60.

As shown in FIG. 10, the door closed end stop process S <b> 40 is a process in a state where the door 3 is in the closed state and the moving speed of the door 3 is 0. When the door closing end stop process S40 is started, it is determined whether or not the opening instruction signal 7 has been received (process S41).
If it is determined in process S41 that the opening instruction signal 7 has been received (YES), the process returns to the slow-down door control S10 after proceeding to the door opening process S60 for opening the door 3 (process S42). . On the other hand, if it is determined in step S41 that the opening instruction signal 7 has not been received (NO), in order to maintain the door 3 in the closed state, a driving signal for setting the speed of the door 3 to 0 is sent to the opening / closing driving unit 5. After the transmission, the process returns to the slow down door control S10 (S43).

  After returning from the process S43 to the slow-down door control S10 shown in FIG. 8, the door closing end stop process S40 is called again by the branching process S13, so that the opening instruction signal 7 is received and the process proceeds to the door opening process S60. Until the door closed end is stopped, the process S40 is repeated.

As shown in FIG. 11, the door opening process S60 is a process for driving the door 3 to open.
When the door opening process S60 is started, it is determined whether or not the position of the door 3 is in the open end stop section 44 (process S61).
In the process S61, when it is determined that the position of the door 3 is in the open end stop section 44 (YES), a control signal for setting the speed of the door 3 to 0 is transmitted to the opening / closing drive unit 5, and the door 3 is moved to the position 35. After controlling to stop, the process proceeds to the door open end stop process S80 (process S69). On the other hand, when it is determined that the position of the door 3 is not in the open end stop section 44 (NO), it is determined whether or not the position of the door 3 is in the open acceleration section 40 or the open high speed section 41 (processing S62). ).

  In the process S62, when it is determined that the position of the door 3 is in the open acceleration section 40 or the open high speed section 41 (YES), it is subsequently determined whether the speed switching signal 11 is received (process S63). If it is determined in step S63 that the speed switching signal 11 has been received (YES), it is determined whether or not the stop control is set when the speed switching signal 11 is subsequently received (processing 64).

If it is determined in step 64 that the stop control is set when the speed switching signal 11 is received (YES), the speed of the door 3 is set to 0 and the movement of the door 3 is stopped. Then, after the speed change signal 11 is not received, when the controller 9 receives the opening instruction signal 7, the drive is opened, and when the opening instruction signal 7 is not received, the drive is closed and the slow down door control is performed. The process returns to S10 (process 68).
On the other hand, if it is determined in the process 64 that the setting for the stop control is not set when the speed switching signal 11 is received (NO), the drive signal for setting the speed of the door 3 to the opening switching speed 26A is opened / closed. After transmitting to the unit 5, the process returns to the slow down door control S10 (process S67).
If it is determined in step S63 that the speed switching signal 11 has not been received (NO), a slow down door control is performed after a drive signal for setting the speed of the door 3 to the opening high speed 26 is transmitted to the opening / closing drive unit 5. The process returns to S10 (process S66).

  If it is determined in step S62 that the position of the door 3 is not in the open acceleration section 40 or the open high speed section 41 (NO), that is, the door 3 is between the position 32 and the position 35, the speed of the door 3 Is sent to the opening / closing drive unit 5 to return to the slow-down door control S10 (processing S65).

  After returning from the processing S65, S66, S67, S68 to the slow-down door control S10, the door opening process S60 is called again by the process from the branching process S14, so that the door 3 is completely released and the door open end is stopped. The door opening process S60 is repeated until the process proceeds to process S80.

As shown in FIG. 12, the door open end stop process S80 is a process in a state in which the door 3 is completely open and the speed of the door 3 is zero. When the door open end stop process S80 is started, it is first determined whether or not the opening instruction signal 7 has been received (process S81).
If it is determined in step S81 that the opening instruction signal 7 has been received (YES), a drive signal for setting the door speed to 0 is transmitted to the opening / closing drive unit 5 in order to maintain the door 3 in the open state. Then, the timer for counting the opening time of the door 3 is reset, and the process returns to the slow-down door control S10 (process S85). On the other hand, if it is determined that the opening instruction signal 7 has not been received (NO), whether or not the opening holding time set in advance with reference to a timer for counting the opening time of the door 3 has been reached is determined. Is determined (step S82).
If the opening time of the door 3 has reached the opening holding time in the process S82 (YES), the process proceeds to the door closing process S20 in order to drive the door 3 to close (process S84). On the other hand, when it is determined that the opening time of the door 3 has not reached the opening holding time (NO), a driving signal for setting the speed of the door 3 to 0 in order to maintain the opening state of the door 3 is sent to the opening / closing driving unit 5. After the transmission, the process returns to the slow down door control S10 (process S83).

  After returning to the slow-down door control S10 from the processes S83 and S85, the door open end stop process S80 is called again by the process from the branching process S15, so the process proceeds to the door closing process S20 after the opening holding time has elapsed. Until this is done, the door open end stop process S80 is repeated.

Next, the operation of the automatic door device 1 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14 focusing on the relationship with a moving object such as a person or an object approaching the door 3.
As shown in FIG. 13, when the person P1 approaches the space X and enters the space X in the state where the door 3 is closed, an opening instruction signal 7 (see FIG. 5) is sent from the optical sensor 15 to the control unit 9. By being transmitted, the process proceeds to the door opening process S60 (see FIG. 10), and the door 3 is driven to open. In this way, the human P1 can pass through the door 3.

When the door 3 is closed, for example, when a person P2 such as a child enters the space Y between the door 3 and the frame portion 2 in the predetermined area 13 near the range where the door 3 opens and closes. The multi-optical axis photoelectric sensor 10 detects the human P 2, and the speed switching signal 11 is transmitted to the control unit 9.
At the same time, when the person P1 enters the space X, the opening instruction signal 7 is transmitted from the optical sensor 15 to the control unit 9, so that the process proceeds to the door opening process S60 shown in FIG. . In this state, since the door position is in the open acceleration section 40, the process 62 is determined as YES. Subsequently, since the speed switching signal 11 is received, the process 63 is also determined as YES.
In step S64, if the setting for stop control is made when the speed switching signal 11 is received, the door stops (processing 68), and the setting for making stop control when the speed switching signal 11 is received. If not, the door 3 operates at the opening switching speed 26A (process 67).
As described above, when the door 3 operates at the stop or opening switching speed 26A, it is possible to secure time for the person P2 in the space Y to retreat from the door 3, and between the door 3 and the frame portion 2. It is possible to prevent pinching and getting caught in the door 3.

Further, while the door 3 is being opened, for example, a human P2 such as a child enters the space Y between the door 3 and the frame portion 2 in a predetermined area 13 in the vicinity of the range in which the door 3 opens and closes. Even when the speed switching signal 11 is transmitted to the control unit 9, since the position of the door 3 is in the opening acceleration section 40 or the opening high speed section 41, the process 62 is determined to be YES and the speed switching signal 11 is received. Therefore, the process 43 is also determined as YES.
Then, in the process S64 of the door 3, if the setting for the stop control is made when the speed switching signal 11 is received, the door 3 stops (process 68), and the stop control is performed when the speed switching signal 11 is received. Is not set, the door operates at the opening switching speed 26A (process 67).
In the middle of the door 3 being driven to open, when the door position is in the open high speed deceleration section 42 and the open slow speed section 43, a process for performing control to stop the opening of the door 3 may be incorporated.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14, if a person P2 such as a child tries to enter the space Z of the passage part while the door 3 is being closed, the opening instruction signal 7 is sent from the optical sensor 15 to the control part 9. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, it is determined that the process 22 is YES, the process proceeds to the door opening process S60, and the door 3 is driven to open.
However, if the human P2 is a small child or the like, and the optical sensor 15 does not detect the human P due to further squatting or rolling, the multi-optical axis photoelectric sensor 10 when the human P enters the processing space Z. Detects the person P2 and transmits the speed switching signal 11 to the control unit 9. If it is determined YES in steps S23 and S24 and the speed switching signal 11 is received in step 25 (YES), the door 3 stops (step 29). If the setting for the stop control is not made when the speed switching signal 11 is received (NO), the door 3 operates at the closing switching speed 28A (process 28).
Thus, even when the human P2 in the space Z is not detected by the optical sensor 15, it is detected by the multi-optical axis photoelectric sensor 10 that forms a light curtain with a plurality of optical axes L2, and the door 3 is Since it operates at the stop or closing switching speed 28A, it is possible to prevent the person P2 from being caught by the door 3.
Further, the multi-optical axis photoelectric sensor 10 can detect because the curtain of the optical axis L2 is formed in a predetermined region 13 in the vicinity of the range in which the door 3 is opened and closed.
In addition, a process for performing control to stop opening of the door 3 when the position of the door 3 is in the closed high speed deceleration section 47 and the closed slow speed section 48 shown in FIG. But you can.
