However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of minutes to advance or delay the manually set opening movement start time may be, for example, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or 60 minutes. .

  In the present embodiment, when the closing movement start mode of the shutter curtain 3 is the third mode, the “fastening time” switch 26C and the “+” switch 26E or the “−” switch 26F are operated simultaneously. Thus, the manually set closing movement start time of the shutter curtain 3 can be changed with one touch.

  That is, when the shutter curtain 3 closing movement start mode is the third mode, the “squeezing time” switch 26C and the “+” switch 26E are set in the state where the remote control device 8 is shown in FIG. By operating simultaneously, the currently displayed closing movement start time is changed to a time advanced by 30 minutes and displayed, and the changed closing movement start time is displayed in the shutter curtain manually set movement start time information file. 64 is reflected in the information of the data item “closing movement start time” of the record stored in 64. That is, the information of the data item “closing movement start time” of the record stored in the shutter curtain manual setting movement start time information file 64 is updated to information of a time advanced by 30 minutes.

  Further, when the shutter curtain 3 closing movement start mode is the third mode, the “squeezing time” switch 26C and the “−” switch 26F are set with the remote control device 8 shown in FIG. By operating simultaneously, the currently displayed closing movement start time is changed to a time delayed by 30 minutes and displayed, and the changed closing movement start time is displayed in the shutter curtain manually set movement start time information file. 64 is reflected in the information of the data item “closing movement start time” of the record stored in 64. That is, the information of the data item “closing movement start time” of the record stored in the shutter curtain manual setting movement start time information file 64 is updated to information of a time delayed by 30 minutes.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when the shutter curtain 3 closing movement start mode is the third mode, the “fastening time” switch 26C and the “+” switch 26E or the “−” switch 26F are simultaneously set. By operating it, the manually set closing movement start time of the shutter curtain 3 can be changed with one touch.

  In the present embodiment, by manually operating the “fastening time” switch 26C and the “+” switch 26E or the “−” switch 26F, the number of minutes to advance or delay the manually set closing movement start time is 30 minutes. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of minutes to advance or delay the manually set closing movement start time may be, for example, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or 60 minutes. .

  In the present embodiment, when a right-handed user operates the remote control device 8, the user usually holds the remote control device 8 with the left hand 41 as shown in FIG. 16, each switch of the remote control device 8 is operated with the finger of the right hand 42 (usually, the index finger 42A as shown in FIG. 16).

  In the present embodiment, the “current time” switch 26A, the “opening time” switch 26B, and the “squeezing time” switch 26C of the remote operation device 8 are arranged on the right peripheral edge (in other words, on the right side of the liquid crystal display 24 of the remote operation device 8). Are arranged side by side in the vertical direction (in other words, the length direction of the right side).

  In other words, in the present embodiment, the “current time” switch 26A, the “opening time” switch 26B, and the “squeezing time” switch 26C arranged side by side in the vertical direction are arranged on the right side of the liquid crystal display 24 (in other words, on the right side). Part).

  Temporarily, the three switches 26A, 26B, and 26C are arranged side by side in the vertical direction (in other words, the length direction of the left side portion) on the left peripheral edge portion (in other words, in the vicinity of the left side portion) of the liquid crystal display 24. In this case, as can be imagined from FIG. 16, when the user operates one of the three switches 26A, 26B, 26C, the information displayed on the liquid crystal display 24 is The finger of the right hand 42 for operating the switch (for example, the forefinger 42A) may be hidden, which may make it difficult for the user to check the information displayed on the liquid crystal display 24.

  However, in the present embodiment, as described above, the three switches 26A, 26B, and 26C are arranged in the vertical direction on the right peripheral edge of the liquid crystal display 24.

  For this reason, according to the present embodiment, when a right-handed user operates one of the three switches 26A, 26B, and 26C, information displayed on the liquid crystal display 24 operates these switches. Therefore, the user can easily check the information displayed on the liquid crystal display 24 without being hindered by the finger (for example, the index finger 42A) of the right hand 42 for the user.

  In the present embodiment, the reason why the arrangement of the liquid crystal display 24 and the three switches 26A, 26B, and 26C has such a relationship is that the population ratio of right-handed people is high.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the three switches 26A, 26B, and 26C that are operation switches for operating the remote control device 8 are the peripheral portions of the liquid crystal display 24 and are right-handed operators (in other words, When a user of the window shutter device, a person in charge of construction, etc.) operates these switches 26A, 26B, 26C, the information displayed on the liquid crystal display 24 is not hidden by the right hand 42 of the operator. Has been placed.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the remote operation device 8 is easy for the operator to operate.

  Note that “not hidden by the right hand 42” does not necessarily mean that all of the information displayed on the liquid crystal display 24 is not always hidden by the right hand 42, and part of the information displayed on the liquid crystal display 24 is This means that there may be a case where the right hand 42 may hide the switch to the extent that it does not hinder the operation of the three switches 26A, 26B and 26C which are operation switches.

  In the present embodiment, the “enter” switch 26D, the “+” switch 26E, and the “−” switch 26F, which are operation switches for operating the remote control device 8, are arranged in the left-right direction on the lower peripheral edge of the liquid crystal display 24. They are arranged side by side. That is, the three switches 26D, 26E, and 26F are also peripheral portions of the liquid crystal display 24, and are displayed on the liquid crystal display 24 when a right-handed operator operates these switches 26D, 26E, and 26F. The information is arranged at a position where it is not hidden by the operator's right hand 42, and this also makes the remote control device 8 easy to operate for the operator.

  In the present embodiment, information (for example, character string “OFF”, “automatic”, time (HH: MM display format)) set by each operation of the three switches 26A, 26B, and 26C is set. Information) is displayed in the vicinity of each switch on the liquid crystal display 24.

  More specifically, in the liquid crystal display 24, the information set by the operations of the three switches 26A, 26B, and 26C is the length direction of the right side portion of the liquid crystal display 24 from each switch. Of the left and right directions that are orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the up and down direction, the left side that is one of the directions is displayed horizontally (in other words, side by side) across the left and right directions.

  In other words, each information set by the operation of each of the three switches 26A, 26B, and 26C is displayed in horizontal writing at the same vertical position as or substantially the same as the vertical position of each switch on the liquid crystal display 24. It is supposed to be.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the user can grasp at a glance which switch is set for each piece of information displayed on the liquid crystal display 24.

  Next, the operation of the shutter curtain control device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the remote control device 8 performs the first mode (in other words, the timer off mode) in which the movement of the shutter curtain 3 is manually started and the movement of the shutter curtain 3 according to the region by month. The second mode (in other words, the automatic timer on mode) that automatically starts at the standard setting movement start time stored in the shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 and the movement of the shutter curtain 3 are performed manually. There is a third mode (in other words, manual timer on mode) that automatically starts at the manually set movement start time stored in the set movement start time information file 64. These modes are for opening the shutter curtain 3. There is a movement and a closing movement of the shutter curtain 3, respectively.

  Note that which of the three modes described above is the current mode in which the opening movement of the shutter curtain 3 is started (hereinafter referred to as “open movement start mode”) is the shutter curtain shown in FIG. Information of the data item “open movement start mode” of the record stored in the movement start mode information file 65 (“0” (first mode), “1” (second mode), “2” (third mode) ) Can be determined.

  Similarly, whether the current mode for starting the closing movement of the shutter curtain 3 (hereinafter referred to as “the closing movement start mode”) is one of the three modes described above is the shutter curtain movement start mode information described above. Reference is made to information (“0” (first mode), “1” (second mode), “2” (third mode)) of the data item “closing movement start mode” of the record stored in the file 65 This can be determined.

  First, the operation of the shutter curtain control device for the opening movement of the shutter curtain 3 will be described.

  When the current opening movement start mode is the first mode, the opening movement of the shutter curtain 3 is not started unless the user operates the “open” switch 27A of the remote control device 8.

  When the “open” switch 27A is operated, the control unit 21 of the remote control device 8 starts the opening movement of the shutter curtain 3 and the identification information of the remote control device for identifying the remote control device 8. The transmission data having the opening signal (in other words, the opening movement start control signal) is transmitted to the transmission unit 29 of the remote operation device 8.

  Thereafter, the transmission unit 29 modulates the transmission data transmitted from the control unit 21 into a radio signal and executes a process of radiating the radio signal from the internal antenna 30 of the remote control device 8 to the space.

  On the other hand, when the external antenna 35 of the remote operation device 11 captures the wireless signal emitted from the internal antenna 30 of the remote operation device 8, the receiving unit 36 of the remote operation device 11 receives the demodulated radio signal. A process of transmitting data to the control unit 37 of the remote operation device 11 is executed.

  Thereafter, when the control unit 37 determines that the identification information of the remote operation device is not stored (in other words, registered) in the storage unit 38 of the remote operation device 11 among the received data, The unit 37 ignores the received data and does not execute the subsequent processing.

  On the other hand, when the control unit 37 determines that the identification information of the remote operation device is stored in the storage unit 38 of the remote operation device 11 among the received data, the control unit 37 determines that the shutter curtain 3 A process of transmitting an opening signal (in other words, an opening movement start control signal) for starting the opening movement to the control unit 32 of the control device 10 is executed.

  Thereafter, the control unit 32 of the control device 10 executes a control process for opening and moving the shutter curtain 3 on the switch 7.

  When the current opening movement start mode is the second mode, the control unit 21 of the remote operation device 8 refers to the shutter device installation location area identification information file 63 shown in FIG. With reference to the data item “region code” information of the record stored in the acquired shutter device installation location region identification information file 63 and the time measuring unit 23, the current month information of the acquired current date, Based on the above, the process of referring to the monthly shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 shown in FIG.

  That is, the control unit 21 uses the “region code” information in the shutter device installation location region identification information file 63 and the current month information in the time measuring unit 23 as reference keys (in other words, search keys) for each region by month. A process of referring to (in other words, searching) the shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 is executed.

  In the record stored in the monthly shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 by region, the information of the data item “region code” is the “region code” of the shutter device installation location region identification information file 63. When there is a record that matches the information and the information of the data item “month” matches the information of the current month of the timekeeping unit 23, the control unit 21 stores the data item of the record stored in this record A process of obtaining a standard opening movement start time as information of “open movement start time” is executed.

  Thereafter, the control unit 21 refers to the time measuring unit 23 and executes a determination process as to whether or not the acquired current time is the acquired standard setting opening movement start time.

  Each of the above processes is repeatedly executed (in other words, a loop process) by the control unit 21, and the control unit 21 refers to the time measuring unit 23, and the acquired current time becomes the acquired standard setting opening movement start time. When it is determined that the control has been performed, the control unit 21 performs the same process as when the “open” switch 27A described above is operated. As a result, the shutter curtain 3 starts to move at the standard opening movement start time set in advance as a standard.

  When the current month of the current date of the timekeeping unit 23 changes (that is, the month changes to the next month) during execution of the loop process described above by the control unit 21, the control unit 21 acquires the current month. The standard opening movement start time is changed to the standard opening movement start time of the next month, and the determination condition in the loop processing described above is changed.

  For example, when the area to which the window shutter device is installed belongs to “Hokkaido” (region code is “01”), and the current month of the timer 23 changes from “02” to “03”, which is the next month. As shown in FIG. 4A, the standard setting opening movement start time as the determination condition is changed from “6:36” to “5:49”.

  If the shutter curtain 3 is already fully open (in other words, a fully open limit switch (not shown) is activated) before the opening movement starts, the shutter curtain 3 is automatically opened by the control unit 21. The process for moving is not executed.

  On the other hand, when the current opening movement start mode is the third mode, the control unit 21 of the remote operation device 8 refers to the time measuring unit 23 of the remote operation device 8, and the acquired current time information is the above-described information. The process of determining whether or not the information matches the information of the data item “open movement start time” of the record stored in the shutter curtain manually set movement start time information file 64 shown in FIG.

  That is, the control unit 21 determines whether or not the current time of the time measuring unit 23 has reached a manually set opening movement start time that is information of “opening movement start time” in the shutter curtain manual setting movement start time information file 64. Repeatedly.

  When the control unit 21 determines that the current time of the time measuring unit 23 has reached the manually set opening movement start time, the control unit 21 performs the same processing as when the “open” switch 27A described above is operated. Run. As a result, the shutter curtain 3 starts to open and move at the opening movement start time set manually by the user.

  As in the case of the second mode described above, when the shutter curtain 3 has already been fully opened (in other words, a fully open limit switch (not shown) is activated) before the opening movement is started, The process for automatically opening and moving the shutter curtain 3 by the control unit 21 is not executed.

  The operation of the shutter curtain control device for the closing movement of the shutter curtain 3 is the same as the operation of the shutter curtain control device for the opening movement of the shutter curtain 3 described above.

  That is, when the current closing movement start mode is the first mode, the closing movement of the shutter curtain 3 is not started unless the user operates the “squeeze” switch 27C of the remote control device 8.

  When the “Shime” switch 27C is operated, the control unit 21 of the remote control device 8 starts the closing movement of the shutter curtain 3 and the remote control device identification information for identifying the remote control device 8. The transmission data having the closing signal (in other words, the closing movement start control signal) is transmitted to the transmission unit 29 of the remote operation device 8.

  Thereafter, the transmission unit 29 modulates the transmission data transmitted from the control unit 21 into a radio signal in the same manner as when the “open” switch 27A described above is operated, and this radio signal is also transmitted to the remote control device 8. The process of radiating into the space from the internal antenna 30 is executed.

  On the other hand, when the external antenna 35 of the remote operation device 11 captures the radio signal emitted from the internal antenna 30 of the remote operation device 8, the receiving unit 36 of the remote operation device 11 causes the “open” switch 27A described above. Similarly to the case where is operated, a process of transmitting the reception data obtained by demodulating the radio signal to the control unit 37 of the remotely operated device 11 is executed.

  Thereafter, when the control unit 37 determines that the identification information of the remote operation device is not stored (in other words, registered) in the storage unit 38 of the remote operation device 11 among the received data, The unit 37 ignores the received data and does not execute the subsequent processing, as in the case where the “open” switch 27A is operated.

  On the other hand, when the control unit 37 determines that the identification information of the remote operation device is stored in the storage unit 38 of the remote operation device 11 among the received data, the control unit 37 determines that the shutter curtain 3 A process of transmitting a closing signal for starting the closing movement (in other words, a closing movement start control signal) to the control unit 32 of the control device 10 is executed.

  Thereafter, the control unit 32 of the control device 10 executes a control process for closing and moving the shutter curtain 3 on the switch 7.

  When the current closing movement start mode is the second mode, the control unit 21 of the remote operation device 8 refers to the shutter device installation location area identification information file 63 shown in FIG. With reference to the data item “region code” information of the record stored in the acquired shutter device installation location region identification information file 63 and the time measuring unit 23, the current month information of the acquired current date, Based on the above, the process of referring to the monthly shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 shown in FIG.

  That is, the control unit 21 uses the “region code” information in the shutter device installation location region identification information file 63 and the current month information in the time measuring unit 23 as reference keys (in other words, search keys) for each region by month. A process of referring to (in other words, searching) the shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 is executed.

  In the record stored in the monthly shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 by region, the information of the data item “region code” is the “region code” of the shutter device installation location region identification information file 63. When there is a record that matches the information and the information of the data item “month” matches the information of the current month of the timekeeping unit 23, the control unit 21 stores the data item of the record stored in this record A process of acquiring a standard closing movement start time which is information of “closing movement start time” is executed.

  Thereafter, the control unit 21 refers to the time measuring unit 23 and executes a determination process as to whether or not the acquired current time has reached the acquired standard setting closing movement start time.

  Each of the above processes is repeatedly executed (in other words, a loop process) by the control unit 21, and the control unit 21 refers to the time measuring unit 23 and the acquired current time becomes the acquired standard setting closing movement start time. When it is determined that the control has been performed, the control unit 21 performs the same processing as when the “Shime” switch 27C described above is operated. As a result, the shutter curtain 3 starts to move at the standard closing movement start time set in advance as a standard.

  When the current month of the current date of the timekeeping unit 23 changes (that is, the month changes to the next month) during execution of the loop process described above by the control unit 21, the control unit 21 acquires the current month. The standard closing movement start time is changed to the standard closing movement start time of the next month, and the determination conditions in the loop processing described above are changed.

  For example, when the area to which the window shutter device is installed belongs to “Hokkaido” (region code is “01”), and the current month of the timer 23 changes from “02” to “03”, which is the next month. As shown in FIG. 4A, the standard closing movement start time as a determination condition is changed from “17:02” to “17:36”.

  If the shutter curtain 3 is already in a fully closed state (in other words, a state in which a fully closed limit switch (not shown) is activated) before the start of the closing movement, the shutter curtain 3 is automatically moved by the control unit 21. The process for closing and moving is not executed.

  On the other hand, when the current closing movement start mode is the third mode, the control unit 21 of the remote operation device 8 performs this remote operation similarly to the case where the current opening movement start mode is the second mode. With reference to the time measuring unit 23 of the apparatus 8, the acquired current time information is stored in the shutter curtain manual setting movement start time information file 64 shown in FIG. The process of determining whether or not the information matches the “time” information is repeatedly executed.

  That is, the control unit 21 determines whether or not the current time of the time measuring unit 23 has reached the manually set closing movement start time that is information of the “closing movement start time” in the shutter curtain manual setting movement start time information file 64. Repeatedly.

  When the control unit 21 determines that the current time of the time measuring unit 23 has reached the manually set closing movement start time, the control unit 21 performs the same processing as when the “Shime” switch 27C described above is operated. Run. As a result, the shutter curtain 3 starts to move and close at the closing movement start time set manually by the user.

  As in the case of the second mode described above, the shutter curtain 3 is already in a fully closed state (in other words, a fully closed limit switch (not shown) is activated) before the start of the closing movement. The process for automatically closing and moving the shutter curtain 3 by the control unit 21 is not executed.

  In the above description, when the control unit 21 determines that there is no corresponding record as a result of executing the process of referring to the monthly shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 by region, the control unit 21 executes a process of displaying error information to that effect on the liquid crystal display 24, and further a process of generating a buzzer sound from the notification unit 25, and the subsequent process is not executed (in other words, stopped). preferable.

  When the “stop” switch 27B of the remote control device 8 is operated, the control unit 21 of the remote control device 8 identifies the remote control device identification information for identifying the remote control device 8 and the shutter curtain 3. A process of transmitting transmission data having a stop signal (in other words, a movement stop control signal) for stopping the movement to the transmission unit 29 of the remote control device 8 is executed.

  Thereafter, the transmission unit 29 modulates the transmission data transmitted from the control unit 21 into a radio signal and executes a process of radiating the radio signal from the internal antenna 30 of the remote control device 8 to the space.

  On the other hand, when the external antenna 35 of the remote operation device 11 captures the wireless signal emitted from the internal antenna 30 of the remote operation device 8, the receiving unit 36 of the remote operation device 11 receives the demodulated radio signal. A process of transmitting data to the control unit 37 of the remote operation device 11 is executed.

  Thereafter, when the control unit 37 determines that the identification information of the remote operation device is not stored (in other words, registered) in the storage unit 38 of the remote operation device 11 among the received data, The unit 37 ignores the received data and does not execute the subsequent processing.

  On the other hand, when the control unit 37 determines that the identification information of the remote operation device is stored in the storage unit 38 of the remote operation device 11 among the received data, the control unit 37 determines that the shutter curtain 3 A process of transmitting a stop signal (in other words, a movement stop control signal) for stopping the movement of the control unit 10 to the control unit 32 of the control device 10 is executed.

  Then, the control part 32 of the control apparatus 10 performs the control process for moving the shutter curtain 3 currently moving with respect to the switch 7. FIG.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the remote control device 8 operates the window shutter device by wireless communication.

  The control unit 21 of the remote operation device 8 is a first control unit according to the present embodiment. On the other hand, the control unit 37 of the remotely operated device 11 and the control unit 32 of the control device 10 arranged on the switch 7 side for driving the shutter curtain 3 are connected to the shutter curtain 3 transmitted from the first control unit. A movement start control signal for starting movement and a movement stop control signal for stopping movement of the shutter curtain 3 are received, and drive control of the switch 7 is executed based on these received control signals. The second control unit according to the present embodiment is configured.

  In the present embodiment described above, when the current movement start mode of the shutter curtain 3 is the third mode, the movement start time of the shutter curtain 3 is the monthly shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information of the storage unit 22. It is determined based on the information of the movement start time of the standard setting of the shutter curtain 3 for each region and each month stored in advance in the file 61 (in other words, registered).

  As a result, when the month of the time measuring unit 23 changes to the next month, the shutter curtain 3 starts moving at the movement start time for the next month stored in the monthly shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 for each region. It will be.

  For this reason, the user of the window shutter device (or the person in charge of construction / maintenance of the window shutter device) needs to reset the movement start time of the shutter curtain 3 after the month changes and the next month. Will disappear.

  That is, the user of the window shutter device (or the person in charge of construction / maintenance of the window shutter device) stores the identification information of the area to which the window shutter device is installed in the shutter device installation area identification information file 63. After that, it is not necessary to reset the movement start time of the shutter curtain 3 every time the month changes.

  Thus, according to this embodiment, the time setting operation for automatically starting the shutter curtain 3 of the window shutter device is facilitated.

  As can be seen from the above description, in the shutter curtain control method for the window shutter device according to the present embodiment, the control unit 21 of the remote operation device 8 refers to the shutter device installation location area identification information file 63, and this The step of acquiring the data item “region code” of the record stored in the shutter curtain manual setting movement start time information file 64, and the control unit 21 refers to the time measuring unit 23 and acquires the information of the current date. Step-by-region shutter shutter standard setting movement start time information file by region based on the information of the “region code” acquired by the control unit 21 and the current month information among the acquired current date information Referring to 61, the step of acquiring the standard setting movement start time information of the shutter curtain 3 and the control unit 21 With reference to the step of acquiring information on the current time, and the control unit 21 performs control for starting the movement of the shutter curtain 3 when it is determined that the acquired current time is the acquired movement start time of the standard setting. And executing steps.

  In the present embodiment described above, the standard setting opening movement start time and closing movement start time preset and stored in the monthly shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 for each region are the sunrise for each region by month. The standard opening movement start time and closing movement start time that are preset and stored in the monthly shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 for each region are the same as those for the window. It may be an arbitrary time (in other words, selected) arbitrarily determined by the person in charge of the shutter device.

  Further, the standard opening movement start time and closing movement start time that are preset and stored in the monthly shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 for each region are the subdivided sunrise times by region, month, day, It may be the sunset time.

  In addition, the standard opening movement start time and closing movement start time that are preset and stored in the monthly shutter curtain standard setting movement start time information file 61 for each region are the further subdivided sunrise times by region date. The sunset time, that is, the sunrise time and the sunset time for each calendar date for several years announced from the National Astronomical Observatory, for example, may be used.

  17 and 18 are diagrams showing another embodiment of the remote control device 8.
