Description

The present invention relates to an electric shutter capable of lowering its own weight by releasing a brake in the event of a fire, and more particularly to an electric shutter with a mechanical hazard prevention device.

Fire prevention shutters include a controlled shutter that normally opens and closes the shutter by driving an opening and closing mechanism, and in the event of a fire, uses an automatic closing device to lower its weight. The fire prevention shutter is equipped with a mechanical hazard prevention device that mechanically stops the shutter curtain that descends under its own weight. It is necessary to stop obstacle curtain detection and descending shutter curtain.

In patent document 1, the operation at the time of the obstacle detection of the operating body which is a component of the mechanical harm prevention apparatus is detected by a micro switch, so that the obstacle detection signal is output and the driving of the switch is stopped. However, a device provided with such a microswitch does not satisfy the explosion-proof device and cannot be used as an explosion-proof shutter.

In order to make such a micro switch explosion-proof, the switch itself becomes large, and it is not realistic considering the storage space.

In addition to the explosion-proof shutter, taking into account that the take-up mechanism and mechanical hazard prevention device must be placed in a limited space above the opening, it is possible to prevent mechanical hazard by adding minimal parts. It is desirable to use an apparatus to detect obstacles during electric lowering and to stop shutter curtains during lowering.

[A] Overall Configuration of Electric Shutter with Mechanical Hazard Prevention Device As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the shutter device includes a shutter curtain 1 that closes the opening and a shutter curtain 1 that is positioned above the opening and winds the shutter curtain 1. A winding shaft 2 to be mounted, and guide rails 3 erected on both left and right ends of the opening are provided. The shutter curtain 1 is configured by vertically connecting a plurality of elongated slats extending in the opening width direction, and a seat plate 4 is provided at the lower end. The take-up shaft 2 is rotatably supported between left and right brackets 13 provided so as to be brought out from the housing 12. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an opening / closing machine M is provided at a position near one side of the opening width direction above the opening. The opening / closing machine M is attached to the bracket 13 on one side in the opening width direction. In the illustrated embodiment, a shutter provided with a simple case for fire prevention is housed in the ceiling 14, but the shutter is housed in a square shutter box (not shown) attached to the housing. You may do it. In normal times, the shutter curtain 1 is electrically lifted by opening and closing the winding shaft 2 by the opening and closing machine M to open and close the opening. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 39, the seat plate 4 has a long upper seat plate 40 extending in the width direction of the opening, and can be moved up and down relative to the upper seat plate 40 on the lower side of the upper seat plate 40. As will be described later, the seat plate 4 includes an elongated lower seat plate 41, and the seat plate 4 detects an obstacle when the shutter curtain 1 that is electrically lowered or its own weight descends hits an obstacle. It is a component of the means.

The shutter device includes an automatic closing device 6 that lowers the shutter curtain 1 by its own weight in the event of a fire and an operation unit 7 (brake release / return device). In the illustrated embodiment, the automatic closing device 6 and the operating portion 7 are separated from each other, and the automatic closing device 6 and the operating portion 7 are mechanically connected via a wire W1 (extending in the outer wire W1 ′). When the fire signal is input, the automatic closing device 6 operates and pulls the wire W1, so that the operating portion 7 enters the brake release posture and the brake of the switch M is released. In addition, regardless of whether it is an electric descent or a self-weight descent, stop of the descent of the shutter curtain 1 when the shutter curtain 1 being closed hits an obstacle is performed via the operation unit 7. Specifically, the shutter curtain 1 during the descent is stopped by the operation of the emergency switch 17 in the case of an electric descent, and by the mechanical return of the brake release lever ML in the case of a descent of the own weight. This will be described in detail later.

The shutter device includes a control unit, and as will be described later, different control is performed in an electric opening / closing mode (normal mode) and a self-weight drop mode (fire mode). In the present embodiment, the control unit includes a first control panel 11A and a second control panel 11B. As shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the first control panel 11A and the second control panel 11B are electrically connected, and the open / close operation switch 100 (first operation box 10A) in the operation box 10 is connected to the first control panel 11B. One control panel 11A is electrically connected. At the time of electric lifting, an open signal, a close signal, and a stop signal based on the input from the switch are transmitted to the second control panel 11B via the first control panel 11A. In the illustrated embodiment, the first control panel 11A and the second control panel 11B are physically separated from each other, but the control unit has one function including the function of the first control panel 11A and the function of the second control panel 11B. It may be a control unit. The control unit will be described in detail later. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the sensor 6A and the disaster prevention board 6B, the disaster prevention board 6B, and the automatic closing device 6 are each electrically connected.

When the opening is fully opened (stored), the shutter curtain 1 is wound around the winding shaft 2 in a state in which the lowering is restricted by a brake that is a constituent element of the opening / closing machine M. When a fire occurs in this state, the fire is detected by the fire detector 6A, the automatic closing device 6 is activated by a fire detection signal from the disaster prevention panel 6B, and the operating unit 7 is brought into a brake release posture via the wire W1. (In this embodiment, the first operating body 73 moves to the brake release position via the second operating body 74), and the brake of the switch M is released. When the brake is released, the shutter curtain 1 descends by its own weight while being guided by the groove portion of the guide rail 3 at both ends in the width direction, and the opening is fully closed by the seat plate 4 landing. At this time, the shutter curtain 1 is lowered at a speed adjusted by the action of a speed governor (governor) built in the opening / closing machine M.

The brake release lever ML protrudes from the brake case of the switch M, and the brake release lever ML is moved by the brake release body (the first operating body 73 in the present embodiment), so that the switch M and the winding shaft 2 can be moved. The brake restricting rotation is released. In an electric shutter, a switch including a brake and a brake release lever for releasing the brake are well known. In a specific example, the brake means includes a brake plate that is slidably opposed to a switch output shaft or a rotating member that rotates integrally with the output shaft. The brake plate is pressed against by the urging means, and the brake works to restrict the rotation of the winding shaft. By swinging the brake release lever against the spring, the brake plate is separated and the brake is released, the winding shaft can be rotated, and the shutter curtain is lowered by its own weight. If the brake release lever is made free, the brake plate is pressed by the spring as the urging means so that the brake and the brake release lever are automatically returned. That is, the brake of the opening / closing machine M is forcibly released by the movement of the brake release lever, and is returned by the urging means when the forcible force by the brake release lever is released.

The shutter device is equipped with a so-called harm prevention device. When the seat plate 4 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 falling under its own weight hits an obstacle and detects the obstacle, the brake of the switch M is returned via the return wire. Thus, the descent of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped. The return wire is composed of a first wire W2 and a second wire W3. In the upper part of the opening, a relay device 8 is provided on the side where the opening / closing machine M in the opening width direction is installed, and the seat plate 4 has an opening width direction so as to be positioned below the relay device 8.

Is moved to the brake return position to stop the weight drop of the shutter curtain 1.

When the obstacle is removed, the return wire can be pulled out, the brake release body (first operating body 73) moves in the brake release direction, and the shutter curtain 1 is lowered again by its own weight. In addition, after the obstacle is removed, the timing when the shutter curtain 1 descends again by its own weight is delayed. As will be described later, even when the seat plate 4 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 during electric lowering hits an obstacle, the brake release body (first operating body 73) by the return wire (second wire W3 + first wire W2) is used. The emergency switch 17 is actuated by pulling the wire W6 based on the movement of) to stop the shutter curtain 1 during the electric lowering.

[C-2] Movement of Actuator During Electric Lowering Obstacle detection during electric lowering will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13. FIG. 12 shows the posture of each element of the operating unit 7 at the time of electric opening and closing, and each element is in a steady position. FIG. 32A shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 in the state of FIG.

FIG. 13 shows a state in which obstacle detection is performed during electric descent (the state of FIG. 12). When the seat plate 4 detects an obstacle, the first wire W2 of the return wire is pulled, and the first operating body 73 slides from the steady position to the second direction while compressing the first coil spring 76. FIG. 32B shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 in the state of FIG. In FIG. 32B, it can be seen that the second wire W3 of the return wire is pulled downward from the state of FIG. 32A, and the rotating body 80 is rotated to pull the first wire W2. By the sliding movement of the first operating body 73 in the second direction, the wire W6 is pulled in the second direction (right side in the figure). The second end of the wire W6 whose first end is connected to the first actuating body 73 is connected to the contact portion 212 of the emergency switch 17, and the contact portion is obtained by pulling the wire W6. The movable part 211 is raised via 212. When the second end portion of the wire W6 is pulled upward, the emergency switch 17 is input when the contact portion 212 and the movable portion 211 at the first position rise to the second position. Yes. When the emergency switch 17 is input, the power supply circuit to the switch M is cut off, the drive of the switch M is stopped, and the electric descent of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped (see FIG. 38).

In FIG. 13, the second operating body 74 and the third operating body 75 are in the steady positions. When the obstacle is removed in the state of FIG. 13, the pulling force of the first wire W2 of the return wire disappears, and the second coil The spring 76 extends, the first operating body 73 moves in the first direction, returns to the steady position, and returns to the state of FIG. By the sliding movement of the first operating body 73 in the first direction, the force pulling the wire W6 in the second direction (right side in the figure) is released, the tensioned wire W6 is loosened, and the spring force of the coil spring 213 is released. As a result, the movable part 211 of the emergency switch 17 returns from the second position to the first position, the switch input by the detection part 180 is released, and the power supply circuit to the switch M is restored. Due to the input of the closing switch, the shutter curtain 1 that has stopped starts re-electrical descent and closes the building opening. In the present embodiment, the electric shutter is positioned below a normal lower limit switch (not shown) and includes a lower limit switch (not shown), and a seat plate 4 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 is provided. Before the emergency switch 17 is input after landing, the lower limit switch is used to stop the lowering of the shutter curtain 1. When the shutter curtain 1 is lowered, the emergency switch 17 is disabled after the normal lower limit switch (upper lower limit switch) is input, and the lower limit switch input after the emergency switch 17 is disabled. Thus, the control of stopping the lowering of the shutter curtain may be performed. FIG. 32C shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 when the operating portion 7 returns to the state of FIG. 12, and is substantially the same as the posture of FIG. If the return wires (the first wire W2 and the second wire W3) are pulled to the limit position shown in FIG. 13 and the seat plate 4 is further lowered, the lock drum 90 of the lock device 9 is moved to the lock drum 90 as will be described later. The second wire W <b> 3 wound three times is slipped and the second wire W <b> 3 is pulled out, so that the operating unit 7 and the relay device 8 are not damaged.

[C-3] Movement of Actuating Unit During Decreasing Weight (By Operation of Automatic Closure Device) Regarding the dead weight drop and obstacle detection of the shutter curtain 1 due to the operation of the automatic closure device 6, referring to FIGS. explain. When a fire is detected by the fire detector 6A, a signal (DC24V) is output from the disaster prevention panel 6B, the automatic closing device 6 is activated, and the brake release wire W1 is pulled. When the wire W <b> 1 is pulled to the left by the automatic closing device 6 from the state of FIG. 10, the left side 741 of the second operating body 74 moves in the first direction and simultaneously the right side 742 of the second operating body 74. Is moved in the first direction, via the first coil spring 76 (the first coil spring 76 has a larger elastic force than the return means of the brake release lever built in the switch M). Thus, the first operating body 73 at the steady position moves in the first direction to the brake release position, and the pressing piece 736 at the upper end of the left side 731 of the first operating body 73 comes into contact with the brake release lever. The brake is released by moving this. FIG. 14 shows a state in which the brake is released. FIG. 33A shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 in the state of FIG. 10, and FIG. 33B shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 in the state of FIG. It can be seen that as the first operating body 73 moves from the steady position in the first direction, the first wire W2 of the return wire is pulled downward and the rotating body 80 rotates.

When the seat plate 4 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 that is falling under its own weight hits an obstacle and detects the obstacle, the first wire W2 of the return wire is pulled to the right, and the first coil spring 76 is compressed while performing the first operation. The body 73 moves to the right. When the pressing piece 736 at the upper part of the right side 731 of the first operating body 73 moves to the right side, the force that presses the brake release lever ML to the left side (brake release direction) is released, and the brake release lever ML is free. Thus, the brake and the brake release lever ML return by the return means built in the brake (FIG. 15). The shutter curtain that is falling under its own weight stops when the brake returns. At this time, only the first coil spring 76 is compressed, and the second operating body 74 and the third operating body 75 do not move. After the obstacle is removed, the return wires (the first wire W2 and the second wire W3) can be pulled out, the first coil spring 76 expands to the state shown in FIG. 14, the brake is released, and the shutter curtain. 1 drops again. FIG. 33C shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 in the state of FIG. In FIG. 33 (C), it can be seen that the second wire W3 of the return wire is pulled downward from the state of FIG. 33 (B), and the rotating body 80 is rotated to pull the first wire W2. The state of FIG. 33C is the same as the steady position, and is substantially the same as FIG. FIG. 33 (D) shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 when the operating portion 7 returns to the state of FIG. 14 (during its own weight drop), and is substantially the same as the posture of FIG. 32 (B). is there. In FIG. 14, the wire W6 is in a relaxed state, and in FIG. 15, since the first wire W2 of the return wire is pulled to the right from this state, the emergency switch 17 does not enter.

When it is desired to restore the automatic closing device 6 once activated by the input of the fire detection signal to the monitoring posture, the automatic closing device recovery wire W5 is pulled in the second direction by operating the automatic closing device recovery lever 106. The operating rod 60 moves in the second direction while compressing the coil spring 61, and the shaft-like locking portion 630 moves while sliding on the upper edge 601 of the operating rod 60 to engage with the locked groove 600. By stopping, the latch 63 assumes the first posture and enters the standby state shown in the lower diagram of FIG. 25, and the second lever 51 returns to the monitoring state or steady position shown in the upper diagram of FIG.

[C-4] Movement of Actuating Unit when Decreasing its Weight (by Manual Closing Operation from Manual Closing Device) Regarding the falling of the dead weight of the shutter curtain 1 and the obstacle detection by manual operation from the manual closing device, FIG. 16 and FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG. When the emergency closing switch 103 on the second lid body 102 of the second operation box 10B is pressed to close at any time, the side 752 of the third operating body 75 is pulled to the right in the figure from the state shown in FIG. When the wire W4 that maintains the second coil spring 77 in the compressed state is loosened from the tension state and the compressed second coil spring 77 is extended, the left end of the coil spring 77 moves to the left, The side wall 751 of the third operating body 75 is pushed to the left in the drawing, and the third operating body 75 moves to the left. By the side wall 751 pushed out to the left side, the side wall 741 of the second operating body 74 is pushed out to the left side, and the second operating body 74 moves to the left side. The right side 742 of the second operating body 74 is in contact with the right end of the first coil spring 76 from the right side, and the side 742 of the second operating body 74 moves to the right, whereby the first coil spring 76 is moved. Then, the side 731 of the first operating body 73 is pushed out to the left, and the pressing piece 736 of the side 731 moves the brake release lever ML to the left (first direction) to release the brake ( FIG. 16). At this time, since the total elastic force of the two first coil springs 76 is larger than the biasing force of the brake release lever ML (returning force provided by the return means built in the opening / closing machine M), the first coil springs In the state as it is, 76 overcomes the urging force of the brake release lever ML and moves to the left, and moves the brake release lever ML to release the brake. By releasing the brake, the shutter curtain 1 starts its own weight drop. 33A shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 in the state of FIG. 10, and FIG. 33B shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 in the state of FIG. It can be seen that as the first operating body 73 moves from the steady position in the first direction, the first wire W2 of the return wire is pulled downward and the rotating body 80 rotates.

When the seat plate 4 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 falling under its own weight hits an obstacle and detects the obstacle, the wire W2 is pulled to the right and the first operating body 73 is moved to the right while compressing the first coil spring 76. Moving. When the pressing piece 736 on the right side 731 of the first operating body 73 moves to the right side, the force that presses the brake release lever ML to the left (brake release direction) is released, and the brake release lever ML becomes free. Then, the brake and the brake release lever ML are returned by the return means (spring member) built in the brake (FIG. 17). The shutter curtain that is falling under its own weight stops when the brake returns. At this time, only the first coil spring 76 is compressed, and the second operating body 74 and the third operating body 75 do not move. After the obstacle is removed, the return wires (first wire W2, second wire W3) can be pulled out, the first coil spring 76 extends to the state shown in FIG. 16, the brake is released, and the shutter curtain. 1 drops again. FIG. 33C shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 in the state of FIG. In FIG. 33 (C), it can be seen that the second wire W3 of the return wire is pulled downward from the state of FIG. 33 (B), and the rotating body 80 is rotated to pull the first wire W2. The state of FIG. 33C is the same as the steady position, and is substantially the same as FIG. FIG. 33 (D) shows the posture of the rotating body 80 of the relay device 8 when the operating portion 7 returns to the state of FIG. 16 (during its own weight drop), and is substantially the same as the posture of FIG. 32 (B). is there. In FIG. 16, the wire W6 is in a relaxed state. In FIG. 17, since the first wire W2 of the return wire is pulled to the right side from this state, the emergency switch 17 is not turned on.

When the shutter curtain that has been manually lowered by weight is to be manually stopped again, the wire W4 connected to the third operating body 75 is moved to the right when the rotation lever 104 of the second operation box 10B is pulled forward. The third operating body 75 moves to the right while being pulled and compressing the second coil spring 77. In the state of FIG. 16, the extension force of the second coil spring 77 that holds the brake release lever ML in the brake release position is released by overcoming the return means (spring member) that moves the brake release lever ML in the return direction. The brake release lever ML moves to the right side with the first operating body 73 and the second operating body 74 by the force of the return means on the opening / closing machine side, and the brake and the brake release lever ML return (in detail, In FIG. 10, the brake release lever ML and the pressing piece 736 return to a state where they are in light contact with each other). The shutter curtain that is falling under its own weight stops when the brake returns. In this way, the brake release lever ML returns to the position shown in FIG.

In the present embodiment, in the obstacle detection when the dead weight is lowered, the first operating body 73 at the brake return position moves in the second direction to reach the steady position, so that the brake release lever ML is returned and the switch is opened. The brake of M is reset.

[D] Control Unit In the electric shutter with a mechanical hazard prevention apparatus according to the present invention, different control is performed in the electric open / close mode (normal mode) and the self-weight drop mode (fire mode). During normal electric opening and closing, the operation control of the shutter curtain 1 is performed in the normal mode. When the fire detection signal is input to the automatic closing device 6 or when the weight is lowered by a manual closing operation, the control mode is changed from the normal mode to the weight reduction mode, and the operation control of the shutter curtain 1 is performed in the weight reduction mode. In the present embodiment, the control unit includes a first control panel 11A and a second control panel 11B. Details will be described below.

[D-1] Electric Open / Close Mode In the normal mode, the shutter curtain 1 is electrically opened / closed by the push button operation of the open / close operation switch 100. More specifically, when the opening switch U is pushed in the fully closed state or half open state of the opening, a signal is transmitted to the second control panel 11B via the first control panel 11A, and the opening / closing machine M is activated to wind up. The shaft 2 is rotated in the first direction and raised while winding the shutter curtain 1. When the shutter curtain 1 is raised, the second wire W3 is wound around the winding drum 91. When the shutter curtain 1 rises to a preset upper limit position, the upper limit switch is activated to stop the operation of the opening / closing machine M, the rotation of the winding shaft 2 is stopped, and the winding of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped. If the shutter curtain 1 does not stop at the upper limit due to a failure of the limit switch LS or the like, the emergency switch 17 is activated to stop the shutter curtain 1 from being lifted by the switch M (see FIG. 37).

FIG. 38 shows the flow of operation of the emergency switch when an obstacle is detected when the shutter is electrically lowered. When the closing switch D is pressed in the fully opened state or half-opened state of the opening, a signal is transmitted to the second control panel 11B via the first control panel 11A, and the switch M is operated to move the winding shaft 2 in the second direction. And the shutter curtain 1 is lowered. When the shutter curtain 1 is lowered, the second wire W <b> 3 is drawn from the winding drum 91 while extending along the surface portion of the shutter curtain 1. When the lower seat plate 41 at the lower end of the lowering shutter curtain 1 hits an obstacle, the lower seat plate 41 moves upward relative to the upper seat plate 40, and the lock device 9 regulates the withdrawal of the second wire W3. When the upper seat plate 40 moves downward with respect to the lower seat plate 41, the second wire W3, which is controlled to be pulled out, is pulled, and the first wire W2 is pulled via the relay device 8, so that the first operating body is moved. 73 moves from the steady position in the second direction (right side in the figure), and the wire W6 is pulled in the second direction by the sliding movement of the first operating body 73 in the second direction. By pulling the wire W6, the contact portion 212 and the movable portion 211 in the first position are pulled up to the second position, and the emergency switch 17 is input. When the emergency switch 17 is input, the power supply circuit to the switch M is cut off, the drive of the switch M is stopped, and the electric descent of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped. When the obstacle is removed, the pulled wire W6 is loosened by the sliding movement of the first operating body 73 in the first direction, and the movable portion 211 of the emergency switch 17 is moved by the spring force of the coil spring 213. Returning from the second position to the first position, the switch input of the emergency switch 17 is released, and the power supply circuit to the switch M is restored. By pressing the closing switch D of the opening / closing operation switch 100, the shutter curtain 1 can be lowered again electrically. In the present embodiment, the electric shutter includes a lower limit switch (not shown), and is set so as to stop the lowering of the shutter curtain 1 by the lower limit switch.

[D-2] When the automatic closing device 6 is activated by the input of the fire detection signal from the self-weight drop mode disaster prevention panel 6B, the wire W1 is pulled so that the second operating body 74 is moved from the steady position to the first direction (in the drawing). The first operating body 73 moves in the first direction as the second operating body 74 moves in the first direction, and the brake is released. When the tension of the wire W4 is relieved by the pressing operation of the emergency closing switch 103 of the second operation box 10B, the third operating body 75 moves from the steady position to the first direction (left side in the drawing), and the first As the three operating bodies 75 move in the first direction, the second operating body 74 and the first operating body 73 move in the first direction to release the brake. At that time, the first control panel 11A changes from the electric opening / closing mode (normal mode) to the self-weight drop mode (fire mode). When the first control panel 11A enters the self-weight drop mode, the electric opening / closing operation (the push button operation for electric opening / closing) from the opening switch U, the closing switch D, and the stop switch S of the opening / closing operation switch 100 is invalidated.

When the lower seat plate 41 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 that is falling under its own weight hits an obstacle, the lower seat plate 41 moves up relative to the upper seat plate 40 and the lock device 9 restricts the second wire W3 from being pulled out. Then, when the upper seat plate 40 moves downward with respect to the lower seat plate 41, the second wire W3 whose withdrawal is restricted is pulled, the first wire W2 is pulled via the relay device 8, and the brake release position. The first actuating body 73 that has moved to the second position moves in the second direction toward the steady position, the brake of the switch M is restored, and the shutter curtain 1 that is dropping its own weight stops. When the obstacle is removed, the lower seat plate 41 that has moved upward is allowed to move downward, the restriction of pulling out the second wire W3 is released, the first coil spring 76 is extended, and the first operating body 73 is braked. After moving to the release position, the brake of the opening / closing machine M is released by the brake release lever ML, and the shutter curtain 1 is lowered again by its own weight. When the lower seat plate 41 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 under its own weight descends, the lower seat plate 41 moves upward relative to the upper seat plate 40, and the lock device 9 restricts the drawing of the second wire W3. When the upper seat plate 40 moves downward with respect to the lower seat plate 41, the second wire W3, which is controlled to be pulled out, is pulled, and the first wire W2 is pulled via the relay device 8, so that the first operating body is moved. 73 moves from the brake release position to the steady position, and the brake returns. The brake of the opening / closing machine M is restored, and the shutter curtain 1 under its own weight is stopped to be fully closed.

[E] Configuration of Seat Plate The configuration of the seat plate 4 provided with obstacle detection means will be described. The seat plate 4 provided at the lower end of the shutter curtain includes an upper seat plate 40 and a lower seat plate 41 that can be moved upward relative to the upper seat plate 40. In this embodiment, the upper seat plate 40 includes a top surface 400, left and right side surfaces 401 that hang from both ends in the width direction of the top surface 400, and a covering that extends horizontally in a direction approaching each other from the lower ends of the left and right side surfaces 401. The left and right horizontal contact pieces 411 on the upper end of the lower seat plate 41 are placed on the contact pieces 402 of the upper seat plate 40, thereby lowering the lower seat plate with respect to the upper seat plate 40. 41 is suspended (see FIGS. 41 and 43). In the posture in which the lower seat plate 41 is moved up to the upper limit position with respect to the upper seat plate 40, the horizontal portion 414 of the lower seat plate 41 comes into contact with the contact piece 402 of the upper seat plate 40 from below (see FIG. 44).

As shown in FIGS. 39, 43, and 44, a plurality of detection levers 42 are spaced in the length direction of the seat plate 4 between the upper seat plate 40 and the lower seat plate 41 constituting the seat plate 4. Therefore, the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 during electric descent or under its own weight abuts against an obstacle so that the lower seat plate 41 is in contact with the upper seat plate 40. The detection lever 42 rotates in conjunction with the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41.

The second rotation lever 93 is rotatable about a lower rotation fulcrum 933 in a first direction in which the upper side approaches the lock drum 90 and in a second direction in which the upper side separates from the lock drum 90. It has become. During normal opening / closing and stopping, the second turning lever 93 is in the first posture in which the upper side is turned to the side away from the lock drum 90 (see FIGS. 26 and 30), and the lock device 9 is in the locked state. The second turning lever 93 is in the second posture in which the upper side is turned to the side close to the lock drum 90 (see FIG. 27). When the second rotation lever 93 is in the first posture, the locking portion 934 is in the non-locking state separated from the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90, and the contact portion 935 includes the first locking lever 934. A portion of the first portion 920 of the rotating lever 92 on the side close to the locking device is in contact. When the second rotation lever 93 is in the second posture, the locking portion 934 is locked with the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90. When the locking portion 934 of the second rotation lever 93 and the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 are in the locked state, the rotation of the lock drum 90 is restricted, and the lock device 9 is restricted from pulling out the wire W3. Locked.

The second turning lever 93 is urged in the second direction by a coil spring 97 exemplified as an urging means. In the illustrated embodiment, one end of the coil spring 97 is connected to a pin P2 projecting from the rear plate 953 of the case 95 in the vicinity of the lower end of the left side plate 951 of the case 95, and the other end is a second rotating lever. 93 is connected to the abutting portion 935.

The other end of the coil spring 97 may be connected to the piece 935 ′).

The contact portion 935 of the second rotation lever 93 is in contact with a portion of the first portion 920 on the upper side of the first rotation lever 92 that is close to the lock drum 90. When the wire 43 is pulled in conjunction with the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41 and the first rotation lever 92 overcomes the urging force of the coil spring 96 and rotates in the first direction, the first rotation lever 92 When the first portion 920 presses the contact portion 935 of the second rotation lever 93, the second rotation lever 93 overcomes the urging force of the coil spring 97 and rotates in the first direction. When the second rotation lever 93 is rotated in the first direction, the locking portion 934 of the second rotation lever 93 that is separated from the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 is It is locked to the locked portion 903 and is locked.

The third rotation lever 94 is a member that is positioned above the first rotation lever 92 and the second rotation lever 93 and extends in the lateral direction, and is in a locked state (second posture). It is a rotation restricting means for restricting the rotation of the lever 93 in the second direction, in other words, a holding lever that holds the locked state of the second rotation lever 93 for a predetermined time after the obstacle is removed. The third rotation lever 94 is provided in the case 95 so as to be rotatable with an end portion on the side close to the lock drum 90 as a rotation fulcrum 940, and an end portion on the side far from the lock drum 90 is rotated in the vertical direction. It is possible. The pivot fulcrum 940 is formed from a support shaft P4 that protrudes from the rear plate 953 of the case 95.

When the first rotation lever 92 and the second rotation lever 93 are in the first posture, the third rotation lever 94 has a tip that is the end far from the lock drum 90 at the first position (upper side). When the first rotation lever 92 and the second rotation lever 93 are in the second posture, the tip is rotated to the second position (lower side). It is in the 2nd attitude | position which moved (refer FIG. 27).

A lower portion of the third rotation lever 94 extending in the lateral direction has the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 when the lock device 9 is in a locked state. A locking portion 941 that locks with the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 when in the second posture is formed. A contact portion 942 is formed at a lower portion of the third rotation lever 94 so as to be positioned on the distal end side with respect to the locking portion 941.

In the present embodiment, the third rotation lever 94 includes two opposing plates, the support shaft P4 is provided between the two plates, and the locking portion 941 is between the tips of the two plates. The abutment portion 942 is a bearing that is rotatably mounted on a pin that connects the two plates. The configuration composed of two plates is only one aspect of the third rotation lever 94, and the locking portion 941 may be integrally formed. In the illustrated embodiment, the locking portion 941 has a stepped shape when viewed from the side, but the shape of the locking portion 941 is not limited and may be a claw shape or a protrusion shape.

When the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 are in the first posture, the corner portion of the locking portion 941 of the third rotation lever 94 is the second rotation lever 93. The third rotation lever 94 is restricted from rotating downward, and the first posture is maintained. From this state, when the second rotation lever 93 rotates in the first direction, the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 gets over the corner of the locking portion 941 of the third rotation lever 94. At the same time, the third rotation lever 94 rotates downward, and the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 is locked to the locking portion 941.

As shown in FIG. 27, when the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 are in the second posture, the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 is the third position. The abutment portion 923 formed on the upper end of the first rotation lever 92 is opposed to the engagement side 9410 of the engagement portion 941 of the rotation lever 94, and the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94. Abut. The contact state of the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 and the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94 and the engagement of the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 and the third rotation lever 94 When the portion 941 is opposed to the locking side 9410 (see FIG. 27) or in the locked state (see FIG. 28), at least the first rotation lever 92 rotates a predetermined amount from the second posture to the second direction. It is maintained while you do. When the third rotation lever 94 in the second posture rotates upward by a predetermined amount, the locking portion 941 of the third rotation lever 94 and the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 are locked. Is released, the rotation restriction by the third rotation lever 94 is released, and the second rotation lever 93 in the second posture is rotated in the second direction by the force of the coil spring 97.

A circumferential projection piece 943 is formed on the distal end side of the third rotation lever 94, and when the third rotation lever 94 is in the first position, the projection piece 943 contacts the left side piece 951. The third turning lever 94 is restricted from turning further upward. This prevents the third turning lever 94 from jumping up when it is turned from the second posture to the first posture.

The operation of the locking device will be described. When the shutter curtain 1 starts to descend, the lock device 9 (lock drum 90, take-up drum 91) provided on the seat plate 4 also descends as the seat plate 4 descends, and as the lock device 9 descends, Overcoming the force of the mainspring spring, the second wire W3 is pulled out along the surface of the shutter curtain 1 by the distance of the shutter curtain 1 while the winding drum 91 and the lock drum 90 rotate.

When the seat plate 4 at the lower end of the lowering shutter curtain 1 comes into contact with an obstacle, the lock device 9 is interlocked with the lower seat plate 41 moving upward relative to the upper seat plate 40. It operates so that the rotation of 90 is restricted. When the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 that is falling under its own weight comes into contact with an obstacle and the lower seat plate 41 moves up relative to the upper seat plate 40, the detection lever 42 moves in conjunction with the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41. It is designed to rotate. Lower end portions of the plurality of detection levers 42 are connected to each other by a wire 43, and one end of the wire 43 is connected to the first rotation lever 92 via a coil spring 98. When the lower seat plate 41 moves up relatively with respect to the upper seat plate 40, the detection lever 42 rotates in a direction away from the lock drum 90 and pulls the wire 43 in a direction away from the lock drum 90. The rotation lever 92 rotates from the first posture to the second posture.

When the first rotation lever 92 rotates in the first direction from the first posture shown in FIG. 26, the first portion 920 of the first rotation lever 92 contacts the contact portion 935 of the second rotation lever 93. By pressing while in contact, the second turning lever 93 in the first position turns together with the first turning lever 92 in the first direction, and the locking portion 934 of the second turning lever 93 is moved. Is locked to the tooth-like locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 to restrict the rotation of the lock drum 90 (FIG. 27).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 26, the third rotation lever 94 in the first posture is brought into contact with the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 in the first posture, so The rotation is restricted. The second rotating lever 93 in the first posture rotates in the first direction together with the first rotating lever 92, so that the contact portion 936 of the second rotating lever 93 is moved to the third rotating lever 94. At the same time as it gets over the corner portion of the locking portion 941 and locks to the locking portion 941, the third rotation lever 94 rotates downward under its own weight and assumes the second posture (FIG. 27).

When the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 are in the second posture, the second posture of the first rotation lever 92 is held by the pulling force of the wire 43. The second posture of the second turning lever 93 is maintained by the first portion 920 of the first turning lever 92 in the second posture coming into contact with the contact portion 935 of the second turning lever 93. The second posture of the third rotation lever 94 is held by the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 coming into contact with the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94. Accordingly, when the wire 43 is pulled, that is, in the obstacle detection state, the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 maintain the second posture and are locked. The device 9 is in a locked state, and the rotation of the lock drum 90 is restricted.

When the rotation of the lock drum 90 is stopped, the withdrawal of the second wire W3 is restricted and the length of the second wire W3 becomes constant. In this state, the upper seat plate 40 (that is, the lock drum 90) is lowered with respect to the lower seat plate 41. Then, the first wire W2 is pulled through the second wire W3 and the relay device 8, and the first operating body 73 slides in the second direction. In the case of the electric descent, the first switch 73 in the steady position moves in the second direction and the wire W6 is pulled in the second direction, whereby the emergency switch 17 is input and the switch M The power supply circuit to is interrupted, the driving of the switch M is stopped, and the descent of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped. When the dead weight is being lowered, the first operating body 73 in the brake release position moves to the steady position (brake return position), the brake release lever ML returns, the brake returns, and the winding shaft 2 The descent of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped by restricting the rotation.

Here, in order to return to the brake, it is necessary to pull the return wires (the first wire W2 and the second wire W3) by a predetermined amount (that is, the shutter curtain 1 needs to be lowered by a predetermined amount) and hit an obstacle. It is desirable that the lower seat plate 41 has an upward movement stroke corresponding to the amount of lowering of the shutter curtain 1 that only causes the brake to return. Further, in addition to the upward movement stroke, it is desirable that the lower seat plate 41 has a margin stroke that allows the upper seat plate 40 to move upward relatively. With this margin stroke, when an obstacle comes into contact with the lower seat plate 41, only the load of the lower seat plate 41 can be applied to the obstacle, and the load of the entire shutter curtain is prevented from acting on the obstacle. . Here, although it is known that the seat plate 4 is configured from the lower seat plate 41 that moves upward relative to the upper seat plate 40, in this embodiment, the movable distance of the lower seat plate 41 relative to the upper seat plate 40. Is larger than the conventional movable distance. Specifically, the relative possible distance of the lower seat plate 41 with respect to the upper seat plate 40 is determined by rotating the detection lever 42 when the lower seat plate 41 at the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 that falls by its own weight hits an obstacle. 2 A first movement amount (for locking) until the rotation lever 93 is locked to the lock drum 90 to restrict the rotation of the lock drum 90 and to restrict the withdrawal of the return wire stored in the winding drum 91. And the upper seat plate 40 is moved downward relative to the lower seat plate 41 in a state where the return wire is restricted from being pulled out. The second movement amount (requires pulling the return wire downward after locking) until the brake is returned by pulling the return wire with the drawer regulated downward, and the shutter car by the brake return Third moving amount of down 1 down to allow the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41 against the upper seat plate 40 after stopping the (alleviate a load that will act on the obstacle), consists of a total of. In connection with pulling the return wire, even when the upward movement stroke of the lower seat plate 41 is small, it operates with the return wire (for example, the relay device 8) or the return wire (first wire W2). Brake is provided by providing a mechanism (for example, a link mechanism) that is positioned at a portion connected to the operating mechanism of the portion 7 and extracts a pulling amount of the operating mechanism (brake release body) that is large with respect to the upward stroke of the second wire W3. Can be restored.

When the lower seat plate 41 moves down after the obstacle is removed and the wire 43 is not pulled, the first turning lever 92 in the second posture starts to turn in the second direction by the force of the coil spring 96. To do. As will be described later, in this embodiment, the rotation speed of the first rotation lever 92 in the second direction is reduced. The contact portion 923 at the upper end of the first rotation lever 92 has a concave arcuate surface, and slides with respect to the peripheral surface of the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94 in the initial rotation. The first rotation lever 92 starts to rotate in the second direction, while the second rotation lever 93 maintains the second posture (locked state) (FIG. 28). As can be seen from a comparison between FIG. 27 and FIG. 28, the second posture is within the range of play in the locked state between the contact portion 936 of the second rotating lever 93 and the locking portion 941 of the third rotating lever 94. When the first rotation lever 92 located in the second direction is rotated in the second direction, the second rotation lever 93 is also slightly rotated in the second direction, but the locked state is maintained, and the second rotation The locking portion 934 of the moving lever 93 and the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 are in a locked state.

When the first rotation lever 92 rotates a predetermined amount, the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 abuts against the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94 to act, and the third rotation lever The abutment portion 942 on the tip end side of 94 is pushed upward in conjunction with the turning of the first turning lever 92, and when the third turning lever 94 is pushed up by a predetermined amount, the third turning lever 94 is locked. The engagement state between the portion 941 and the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 is released (the second rotation lever 93 is kept locked until just before the engagement state is released), and the second The rotating lever 93 is instantaneously rotated in the second direction by the force of the coil spring 97, and the locked state between the locking portion 934 of the second rotating lever 93 and the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 is released. And the locked state is released. FIG. 29 shows a state immediately before the lock state is released. When the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94 is completely pushed up by the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 from the state of FIG. 29, the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 92 and the third turn The locking state of the moving lever 94 with the locking portion 941 is released, and at the same time, the second rotating lever 93 is instantaneously rotated in the second direction by the coil spring 97, so that the locking portion 934 becomes the lock drum 90. The lock drum 90 can be rotated by being disengaged from the locked portion 903 (FIG. 30).

In the present embodiment, the second wire W3 is divided into a lock drum 90 and a take-up drum 91 and wound up. When both a wire winding mechanism and a locking mechanism are provided on one rotating body (although this aspect is also included in the scope of the present invention), the wire is randomly wound around the rotating body and wound in multiple layers. There is a possibility that a so-called winding drawing may occur due to the outer wire biting into the broken wire. When a wire drawing is generated in the wire, there is a possibility of affecting the smooth feeding and winding of the wire. In the present embodiment, the second wire W3 is first wound around the lock drum 90 and then wound around the take-up drum 91, and the force that can be generated on the second wire W3 is the lock drum 90. It comes to act on. Here, since the second wire W3 is wound once on the peripheral surface 901 of the lock drum 90 (three windings in parallel), even if a force acts on the second wire W3, the rotating lock drum 90 rotates. Even if it stops suddenly, the wire is not drawn. Further, a plurality of second wires W3 are wound around the lock drum 90 to prevent the second wire W3 from slipping on the peripheral surface 901 of the lock drum 90, and the lock drum 90 and the take-up drum 91 rotate together. It is like that. The winding drum 91 has a built-in mainspring spring that urges the second wire 3 in the winding direction. Therefore, even if the lock drum 90 is locked and the rotation stops, the second wire W3 is loosened. Does not occur. Further, when the shutter curtain 1 is raised in the locked state, the second wire W3 wound three times around the lock drum 90 is loosened, but the loosened second wire W3 is transferred to the winding drum 91 incorporating the mainspring spring. Since it is wound up, the second wire W3 is not loosened. The touch-up of the shutter curtain 1 at the time of obstacle detection can be performed without waiting for the unlocking delayed by the delay mechanism, and the time from when the shutter curtain 1 stops until the touch-up can be shortened. it can. Further, when the obstacle is detected, the second wire W3 is pulled downward by the frictional force of the second wire W3 wound around the lock drum 90. However, if the obstacle is detected, a large downward direction exceeding the frictional force in the locked state is assumed. When the force acts, the second wire W3 wound three times around the lock drum 90 slides and lowers the shutter curtain 1, thereby preventing the second wire W3 from being cut.

The lower end of the first rotation lever 92 is connected to the wire 43 via a coil spring 98, and the coil spring 98 constitutes a buffer spring. In order to return to the brake, it is necessary to pull the return wire by a predetermined amount (that is, the shutter curtain 1 needs to be lowered by a predetermined amount), and the lower seat plate 41 hitting the obstacle is engaged with the second rotation lever 93. Even after the stop portion 934 is locked to the tooth-like locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90, it is necessary to move up relatively. At this time, the coil spring 98 is extended, so that the load on the wire 43 and the locking portion (the locking portion 934 and the locked portion 903) accompanying the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41 after the lock drum 90 is locked. Has eased. More specifically, after the lock (after the locking portion 934 is locked to the locked portion 903), the upper seat plate 40 is further moved downward with respect to the lower seat plate 41, so that only the amount moved downward is reached. The return wire is pulled down. At the same time, the lower movement of the upper seat plate 40 causes the detection lever 42 to rotate further upward, and the wire 43 is further pulled. At this time, the coil spring 98 is extended to lock the second rotation lever 93. The portion 934 is prevented from being pressed against the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90.

It should be noted that the configuration of the locking device 9 described above is one embodiment and does not limit the scope of rights of the present invention. In the illustrated embodiment, the lock drum 90 and the take-up drum 91 are adjacent to each other. However, the lock drum 90 and the take-up drum 91 are separated from each other (as a non-limiting example, the radial dimension to the diameter dimension of these drums) You may arrange. In the present embodiment, the lock drum 90 and the take-up drum 91 are provided separately, and the description has been made based on the configuration in which the lock drum 90 is locked. As described in Japanese Patent No. 13647), the lock drum and the winding drum may be integrated. In the illustrated embodiment, the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, the third rotation lever 94, and the detection lever 42 are disposed only on one side of the lock drum 90. And a pair of left and right first rotation levers connected to the wires connected to the respective detection levers may be provided. In the illustrated embodiment, three rotation levers (first rotation lever 92, second rotation lever 93, and third rotation lever 94) are shown, but one rotation lock lever may be provided ( See FIG. 33 and Patent Document 1).

The configuration of the lock device is not limited as long as the lock device regulates the return wire by moving the lower seat plate 41 upward. For example, the locking device may not include a winding drum. That is, the winding drum may be provided at a location different from the locking device (for example, a portion of the seat plate that is separated from the locking device, an upper portion of the opening such as a lintel, or the inside of the guide rail). An aspect in which the winding drum is provided in the lintel portion is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example. Further, the return wire is not necessarily limited to the one wound around the winding drum, and for example, the lower end side of the return wire may be guided inside the guide rail by a pulley, and the lower end may be fixed to the floor surface or the guide rail. . The locking device is not necessarily limited to the one provided with the lock drum, and for example, the drawing of the return wire may be mechanically restricted by the clamping means or the pressing means. The locking device is not necessarily limited to one in which all the components are provided on the upper seat plate, and includes a mode in which some of the components of the locking device are provided on the lower seat plate.

[G] Self-weight re-lowering delay mechanism As described above, after the obstacle is removed, the lower seat plate 41 moves downward relative to the upper seat plate 40, so that the lock device 9 is in an unlocked state. The return wire (first wire W2 + second wire W3) can be pulled out, the brake of the opening / closing machine M is released by the operating mechanism of the automatic closing device 6, and the shutter curtain 1 is lowered again by its own weight. Here, by providing a damping mechanism so as to provide resistance to the displacement of the movable lock portion (for example, the first rotation lever 92) of the lock device 9 and the detection lever 42 from the second posture to the first posture, Timing of releasing the restriction of the return wires (the first wire W2 and the second wire W3) by reducing the speed of the movable lock portion in the second posture, which is the locked posture, and rotating the movable lock portion to the first posture. Delay. In other words, by delaying the timing at which the locking device 9 in the locked state is unlocked and allowing the return wires (first wire W2 and second wire W3) to be pulled out, the shutter curtain 1 is self-weighted after the obstacle is removed. The time until re-descent starts is delayed. A specific configuration example will be described below.

First, as shown in FIGS. 26 to 30, the lock device 9 includes a lock drum 90, a take-up drum 91, a first rotation lever 92, a second rotation lever 93, and a third rotation lever 94. It has. Regarding the details of the configuration and operation of the locking device 9, the above description can be used. Moreover, the description as stated above can be used for elements having the same reference numbers. The dead weight re-lowering delay mechanism in the present embodiment is a delay mechanism 46 that delays recovery of the first rotation lever 92.

As shown in FIGS. 41 to 42, the delay mechanism 46 includes a rotary damper 460, a rotating arm 461, a connecting bar 462, and a support plate 463. The support plate 463 extends vertically, and is fixed to the lower surface of the upper surface portion 400 of the upper seat plate 40 so as to hang from the upper surface portion 400 of the upper seat plate 40. A rotary damper 460 is fixed to the surface portion of the support plate 463.

The rotating arm 461 has a vertical posture extending substantially in the vertical direction. The base end (upper end) of the rotating arm 461 is connected to the rotary damper 460 and the distal end (lower end) is connected to one end of the connecting bar 462. It is connected to a nearby part. The connecting bar 462 extends in the length direction of the seat plate 4, and one end of the connecting bar 462 is connected to the wire 43 via the coil spring 98, and the other end of the connecting bar 462 is the first time. It is connected to the lower end of the moving lever 92. The connecting bar 462 moves left and right in the length direction of the seat plate 4 in conjunction with the rotation of the first rotation lever 92 in the first direction and the rotation in the second direction. The rotation arm 461 is rotated in the first direction and the second direction in conjunction with the left and right movement of the connecting bar 462.

The rotary damper 460 is a one-way damper and freely allows the rotation of the rotation arm 461 in the first direction without giving resistance to the rotation of the rotation arm 461 in the first direction. By applying resistance to the rotation of the moving arm 461 in the second direction, the moving speed of the connecting bar 462 and the rotating speed of the first rotating lever 92 in the second direction are reduced.

The upper seat plate 40 is provided with a plurality of detection levers 42 at intervals in the length direction of the seat plate 4. As shown in FIGS. 43 to 44, the detection lever 42 is rotatably attached to a support portion 42 </ b> A fixed inside the upper surface portion 400 of the upper seat plate 40. In a normal posture, the seat plate 4 is in a state in which the lower seat plate 41 is suspended from the upper seat plate 40. Specifically, as shown in FIG. The contact piece 411 formed on the upper ends of the left and right side surface portions 413 of the lower seat plate 41 is hooked on the contact piece 402 formed on the lower end of the side surface portion 401, so that the It is suspended so that it can move up and down. 41, the width of the internal space of the seat plate 4 (the upper seat plate 40 and the lower seat plate 41) is much larger than the delay device 46, so that the upper seat plate 41 is moved when the lower seat plate 41 is moved upward. A space allowing the tilt of the lower seat plate 41 with respect to 40 in the front-rear direction is secured, and even if the floor surface is tilted, it is possible to cope with it well.

The detection lever 42 includes a contacted portion 420. In the normal posture shown in FIGS. 41 and 43, the contact piece 411 of the lower seat plate 41 approaches the contacted portion 420 of the detection lever 42 from below. ing. When an obstacle hits the lower surface 410 of the lower seat plate 41 and the lower seat plate 41 moves upward relative to the upper seat plate 40, the contact piece 411 of the lower seat plate 41 contacts the contacted portion 420 from the lower side. As a result, the detection lever 42 rotates in a direction away from the lower end of the first rotation lever 92, and the wire 43 rotates the first rotation lever 92 in the first direction. Move to. In the posture in which the lower seat plate 41 is moved up to the upper limit position with respect to the upper seat plate 40, the horizontal portion 414 of the lower seat plate 41 is in contact with the contact piece 402 of the upper seat plate 40 from below (see FIG. 44). ). It should be noted that when it comes into contact with an obstacle, it is set to stop its own weight drop and electric drop before the lower seat plate 41 moves up to the upper limit position.

The operation of the lock device 9, the detection lever 42, and the delay mechanism 46 will be described. In addition, please refer FIG. 26-30 for the effect | action of the locking device 9 suitably. When the lower end of the shutter curtain 1 that is falling under its own weight comes into contact with an obstacle and the lower seat plate 41 moves up relative to the upper seat plate 40, the detection lever 42 moves in conjunction with the upward movement of the lower seat plate 41. It is designed to rotate. Lower end portions (in a normal posture) of the plurality of detection levers 42 are connected to each other by a wire 43, and one end of the wire 43 is connected to the first rotation lever 92 via a coil spring 98 and a delay mechanism 46. . When the lower seat plate 41 moves up relatively with respect to the upper seat plate 40, the detection lever 42 rotates in a direction away from the lock drum 90 and pulls the wire 43 in a direction away from the lock drum 90. The rotation lever 92 rotates from the first posture to the second posture. At this time, the one-way rotary damper 460 of the damping mechanism 46 does not give resistance to the rotation of the rotation arm 461 that accompanies the movement of the connecting bar 462. 1 rotation lever 92 rotates.

When the first rotation lever 92 rotates in the first direction from the first posture (FIG. 26), the first portion 920 of the first rotation lever 92 contacts the contact portion 935 of the second rotation lever 93. By pressing while in contact, the second turning lever 93 in the first position turns together with the first turning lever 92 in the first direction, and the locking portion 934 of the second turning lever 93 is moved. Is locked to the tooth-like locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 to restrict the rotation of the lock drum 90 (FIG. 27).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 26, the third rotation lever 94 in the first posture is brought into contact with the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 in the first posture, so The rotation is restricted. The second rotating lever 93 in the first posture rotates in the first direction together with the first rotating lever 92, so that the contact portion 936 of the second rotating lever 93 is moved to the third rotating lever 94. At the same time as it gets over the corner portion of the locking portion 941 and locks to the locking portion 941, the third rotation lever 94 rotates downward under its own weight and assumes the second posture (FIG. 27).

When the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 are in the second posture, the second posture of the first rotation lever 92 is held by the pulling force of the wire 43. The second posture of the second turning lever 93 is maintained by the first portion 920 of the first turning lever 92 in the second posture coming into contact with the contact portion 935 of the second turning lever 93. The second posture of the third rotation lever 94 is held by the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 coming into contact with the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94. Accordingly, when the wire 43 is pulled, that is, in the obstacle detection state, the first rotation lever 92, the second rotation lever 93, and the third rotation lever 94 maintain the second posture and are locked. The device 9 is in a locked state, and the rotation of the lock drum 90 is restricted.

When the rotation of the lock drum 90 is stopped, the withdrawal of the second wire W3 is restricted and the length of the second wire W3 becomes constant. In this state, the upper seat plate 40 (that is, the lock drum 90) is lowered with respect to the lower seat plate 41. Then, the first wire W2 is pulled through the second wire W3 and the relay device 8, and the first operating body 73 slides in the second direction. When the electric descent is in progress, the emergency switch 17 is input to the switch M by the first operating body 73 in the steady position being pulled in the second direction and the moving wire W6 being pulled in the second direction. The power supply circuit is cut off, the driving of the switch M is stopped, and the descent of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped. When the dead weight is being lowered, the first operating body 73 in the brake release position moves to the steady position (brake return position), the brake release lever ML returns, the brake returns, and the winding shaft 2 The descent of the shutter curtain 1 is stopped by restricting the rotation.

When the lower seat plate 41 moves down after the obstacle is removed and the wire 43 is not pulled by the detection lever 42, the first rotating lever 92 in the second posture is moved in the second direction by the force of the coil spring 96. Start turning. At this time, the one-way rotary damper 460 of the delay device 46 provides resistance to the rotation of the rotation arm 461 in the second direction, and the rotation arm 461 slowly rotates in the second direction. The connecting bar 462 that has been pulled by the wire 43 and moved in the first direction slowly moves in the second direction. Therefore, the rotation speed of the first rotation lever 92 connected to the end of the connection bar 462 in the second direction is reduced.

When the first rotation lever 92 rotates a predetermined amount, the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 abuts against the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94 to act, and the third rotation lever The abutment portion 942 on the tip end side of 94 is pushed upward in conjunction with the turning of the first turning lever 92, and when the third turning lever 94 is pushed up by a predetermined amount, the third turning lever 94 is locked. The engagement state between the portion 941 and the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 93 is released (the second rotation lever 93 is kept locked until just before the engagement state is released), and the second The rotating lever 93 is instantaneously rotated in the second direction by the force of the coil spring 97, and the locked state between the locking portion 934 of the second rotating lever 93 and the locked portion 903 of the lock drum 90 is released. And the locked state is released. FIG. 29 shows a state immediately before the lock state is released. When the contact portion 942 of the third rotation lever 94 is completely pushed up by the contact portion 923 of the first rotation lever 92 from the state of FIG. 29, the contact portion 936 of the second rotation lever 92 and the third turn The locking state of the moving lever 94 with the locking portion 941 is released, and at the same time, the second rotating lever 93 is instantaneously rotated in the second direction by the coil spring 97, so that the locking portion 934 becomes the lock drum 90. The lock drum 90 can be rotated by being disengaged from the locked portion 903 (FIG. 30).

In the present embodiment, the delay device 46 provided on the seat plate is used to delay the time until the lock device 9 is released from the locked state after the obstacle is removed. A mechanism for delaying the timing when the shutter curtain once stopped by the obstacle detection is lowered again is realized so that the (stop state) is immediately released. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the rotation lock lever includes two members (a first rotation lever 92 that rotates in conjunction with the upward movement of the lower seat plate, and a second rotation that engages with the lock drum). Lever 93), and the rotation of the second rotation lever 93 in the unlocking direction (second direction) is separated from the rotation of the first rotation lever 92 in the second direction, The second turning lever 93 is configured to turn in the second direction when the first turning lever 92 is turned by a predetermined amount in the second direction so that the locked state is released. By slowly rotating the first rotation lever 92 in the second direction, the timing of releasing the locked state is delayed, and the time from the obstacle removal to the start of the shutter curtain re-lowering is delayed.
