Abstract

To differ a timing at which an opening/closing device starts a closing operation when a vehicle enters or leaves a garage.SOLUTION: At the time of leaving a garage, an engine of a vehicle is started in the garage and a first control signal is transmitted from a remote control transmitter, so it is determined as the time of leaving the garage, and an opening operation of a garage shutter system is executed, and a closing operation is executed about 10 seconds after a second control signal is not received. On the other hand, at the time of entering the garage, the remote control transmitter has already finished outputting the first control signal and is in the state of outputting only the second control signal, so in this case, it is determined that it is the time of entering the garage and executes the opening and closing operations of the garage shutter system. In the case of entering the garage, the time to start the closing operation is set to a time longer than the normal 10 seconds (between tens of seconds and minutes), which makes it possible to differ the timing of the start of the closing operation of the garage shutter system between when the vehicle leaves and when it enters the garage.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7

In particular, the present invention relates to a remote control transmitter, an open / close control system, and an open / close control method configured to wirelessly transmit a control signal relating to the operation of the open / close device.

Electric shutters and electric doors that electrically perform each operation of opening and closing are used for opening and closing devices such as shutters and doors installed in the openings of structural frames including buildings such as buildings, factories, and warehouses. Often. In this way, the opening / closing device that electrically performs each operation of opening / closing is from a wired or wireless three-point type or one-point type dedicated switch equipped with three types of switches (operators) for opening / closing. A predetermined opening / closing operation is executed according to the control signal of. In the case of a portable wireless dedicated switch, a plurality of wireless dedicated switches can be registered for an opening / closing device that needs to be operated by a plurality of people, such as a garage shutter device.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-152949

FIG. 1 is a timing chart showing the output of an automatic signal that is repeatedly transmitted by the control wireless device in response to a power input. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of an automatic signal reception process executed when the controlled wireless device receives or does not receive an automatic signal.

When the user enters the garage, gets on the vehicle, and starts the engine of the vehicle, the power input of the control side wireless device changes from the OFF state to the ON state as shown in FIG. As a result, the control side wireless device is also turned on, and in synchronization with this, the automatic signal composed of the continuous pulse signal as shown in FIG. 1 continues to be transmitted.

The non-control side wireless device executes the automatic signal reception process according to the flowchart of FIG. The automatic signal reception process of FIG. 2 is a process executed by the receiver of the non-control side wireless device receiving the automatic signal.
In step S10, since the receiver on the non-control side wireless device side has received the automatic signal, an open signal (OPEN) is output to the garage shutter device. That is, the non-control side wireless device outputs an open signal (OPEN) to the garage shutter device when the engine of the vehicle is started. This open signal causes the garage shutter device to perform an open operation.

In step S11, it is determined whether or not the receiver on the non-control side wireless device side is receiving the automatic signal, and if it is receiving (yes), the determination in step S11 is repeatedly executed, and the signal is no longer received. That is, when the automatic signal non-reception state is reached, the process proceeds to the next step S12. The automatic signal output by the control side wireless device continuously transmits the automatic signal consisting of the continuous pulse signal of FIG. 1 when the power of the control side wireless device is ON, that is, when the power is supplied. ..

In step S12, it is determined whether or not 10 seconds have passed since the automatic signal non-reception state was set in the previous step S11, and if 10 seconds have passed (yes), the process proceeds to the next step S13, and the process has not passed. In the case of (no), this step is repeated until 10 seconds have elapsed.

In step S13, 10 seconds have passed since the automatic signal was not received, so a closing signal is output to the garage shutter device. That is, in the non-control side radio device, when the vehicle leaves the garage and is separated from the garage by a predetermined distance, the radio wave of the automatic signal from the control side radio device is weakened, and the receiver on the non-control side radio device side. Means that the automatic signal can no longer be received, so a closing signal (CLOSE) is output to the garage shutter device. This closing signal causes the garage shutter device to perform a closing operation.

As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless switchgear control system of the switchgear described in Patent Document 1 automatically opens the garage shutter device when the receiver on the non-control side wireless device side receives an automatic signal. When a fixed time of about 10 seconds has elapsed after the automatic signal is no longer received, the garage shutter device is automatically closed. As described above, the closing operation of the garage shutter device is started on condition that the automatic signal cannot be received and the fixed time of 10 seconds has elapsed.
On the other hand, in the case of a building structure such as a built-in garage where the shutter part is the entrance / exit, the automatic signal is not received by turning off the engine of the vehicle after warehousing, so the garage shutter device after about 10 seconds. Will start the closing operation. If the closing operation starts 10 seconds after the engine is turned off, it may be necessary to carry out luggage, wheelchairs, etc. when leaving the garage, and the fixed time of 10 seconds may be too short. .. However, if the fixed time of 10 seconds is simply set to a longer time than this, it will take 10 seconds or more to automatically start the closing operation at the time of delivery, so from the viewpoint of crime prevention. Therefore, it may not be preferable.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a remote control transmission device, an opening / closing control system, and an opening / closing control method capable of different timings at which the opening / closing device starts the closing operation at the time of entering / leaving the vehicle. To provide.

The first feature of the remote control transmitter according to the present invention is the opening / closing of the remote control transmitting device that wirelessly transmits a control signal related to the operation of the opening / closing body means to the receiver of the opening / closing body means in response to a power-on. A predetermined number of the first control signals are transmitted until the first control signal relating to the operation of the body means is transmitted, the opening operation of the opening / closing body means is executed, and the opening operation of the opening / closing body means is completed. Or, the first control signal is transmitted until a predetermined time elapses, and from the time when the power is turned on until the power is turned off, the timing is different from the transmission timing of the first control signal. The purpose is to continuously transmit the second control signal wirelessly.
Among the remote control transmission devices that can wirelessly control the opening / closing body means such as the shutter device, there is an in-vehicle remote control transmission device. Since the power of the remote control transmitter for vehicles is turned on when the engine of the vehicle is started, the power is turned on when the engine is started, and the power is kept on until the engine is stopped. Subsequently, a control signal relating to the opening operation of the opening / closing body means is continuously transmitted as a continuous pulse signal. In the conventional shutter device, the opening operation is executed in response to the control signal, and the closing operation of the opening / closing body means is executed when the control signal is in the non-reception state.
In the present invention, the remote controller transmitting device transmits a first control signal regarding the operation of the opening / closing body means in response to the power being turned on to execute the opening operation of the opening / closing body means. At this time, the time for transmitting the first control signal is the time until the opening operation of the opening / closing body means is completed at the maximum, and a predetermined number of the first control signals are transmitted or the first control signal is transmitted within this time. The control signal of is transmitted until a predetermined time elapses. That is, the remote control transmission device finishes the transmission of the first control signal within a short time until the opening / closing body finishes the opening operation. On the other hand, the remote control transmitter continuously wirelessly transmits the second control signal at a timing different from the transmission timing of the first control signal between the time when the power is turned on and the time when the power is turned off. Continue to do. That is, the remote control transmission device continuously transmits the second control signal until the power is turned off during the time when the first control signal is not transmitted.
Therefore, at the time of leaving the garage, the engine of the vehicle is started in the garage, so that the receiver of the opening / closing body means receives the first control signal from the remote control transmitter and also receives the second reception signal. In such a case, it is determined that it is the time of delivery, the garage shutter device is opened in response to the reception of the first control signal, and about 10 after the second control signal is not received. Performs a closing operation after a second. On the other hand, at the time of warehousing, the remote control transmitter has already finished outputting the first control signal and is in a state of outputting only the second control signal. The garage shutter device is opened and closed. Then, in the case of warehousing, by setting the time to start the closing operation to a time longer than the usual 10 seconds (between several tens of seconds to several minutes), the garage is garaged at the time of leaving and warehousing the vehicle. It is possible to make the timing of starting the closing operation of the shutter device different.

The second feature of the remote control transmission device according to the present invention is that in the remote control transmission device according to the first feature, after the transmission processing of the first control signal is completed, the transmission processing of the second control signal is performed.

The first feature of the opening / closing control system according to the present invention is an opening / closing control including a control means for controlling the operation of the opening / closing body means by receiving a control signal regarding the operation of the opening / closing body means transmitted from the remote control transmitting means. In the system, the remote control transmitting means sends a first control signal regarding the operation of the opening / closing body means in response to a power-on, within a predetermined number or a predetermined time until the opening operation of the opening / closing body means is completed. The second control signal is transmitted at a timing different from the transmission timing of the first control signal until the power is turned off after the power is turned on. The control means continuously transmits the first control signal, and when the first control signal is received, the control means executes the opening operation of the opening / closing body means, and after receiving the first control signal, the first control means. When the control signal of 2 is no longer received, the closing operation of the opening / closing body means is executed after the lapse of the first predetermined time from the time when the control signal is no longer received, and the first control signal is not received. When the control signal of 2 is received, the opening operation of the opening / closing body means is executed, and then a second predetermined time larger than the first predetermined time elapses from the time when the second control signal is no longer received.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the appearance of a shutter device including the opening / closing device of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view of the opening / closing body device of FIG. 3 as viewed from the front. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an outline of a control system for an opening / closing device according to the present invention. Usually, the shutter device is provided in the opening of a structure such as a building or a garage, and basically the shutter case 1, the shutter curtain 2, the guide rails 3 and 4, the remote control transmitter 5 and the photoelectric sensors 6 and 7 are provided. Consists of. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of an in-vehicle automatic opening / closing remote control transmission device mounted on a vehicle.

The guide rails 3 and 4 are provided on both ends of the opening of the building so as to be in contact with both ends of the shutter curtain 2, and have a U-shaped guide groove having a cross-sectional shape extending from the forage portion to the floor surface. It is composed of a metal member having a rail. The shutter curtain 2 rises and falls along the guide grooves of the guide rails 3 and 4, and opens and closes the opening. A take-up shaft 11 is rotatably provided in the shutter case 1, and the shutter curtain 2 is taken up or rewound on the take-up shaft 11. Further, a motor 13 is provided in the shutter case 1, and the winding shaft 11 is rotated by the rotational driving force of the motor 13 to control the opening / closing operation of the shutter curtain 2.

As shown in FIG. 4, a take-up shaft 11, a chain 12, a motor 13, a position detection device 14, and a shutter switch control device 15 are provided in the shutter case 1. The take-up shaft 11 is rotatably provided in the shutter case 1 and winds up and rewinds the shutter curtain 2. The chain 12 connects a main sprocket provided on the rotating shaft of the motor 13 and a driven sprocket provided on the rotating shaft of the take-up shaft 11. Therefore, the rotational driving force of the motor 13 is transmitted to the take-up shaft 11 side via the chain 12, and when the motor 13 rotates, the take-up shaft 11 rotates via the chain 12, and the opening / closing operation of the shutter curtain 2 is controlled. It is supposed to be done.

The motor 13 is provided with a position detecting device 14 for detecting the rotational position, that is, the open / closed position and the open / closed state of the shutter curtain 2. The position detection device 14 is composed of a pulse generation type rotary encoder or the like. Since a pulse signal corresponding to the rotation of the motor 13 is output to the shutter switch control device 15, this pulse is generated at the rotation position of the motor 13, the position at the opening of the closing end of the shutter curtain 2, and the operating state. The shutter opening / closing device control device 15 calculates the result based on the situation.

The shutter switch control device 15 has a microcomputer configuration, and power is supplied via a power supply line (not shown). The shutter opening / closing device control device 15 receives a control signal corresponding to the operation state of each operation switch on the remote control transmission device 5 at the remote control receiver, and controls the rotation of the motor 13 based on the control signal. Further, the shutter opening / closing device control device 15 controls the rotation of the motor 13 by receiving an automatic signal from the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote control device 91 by the remote control receiver 21 to control the opening / closing operation of the shutter curtain.

The remote control receiver 21 is connected to the remote control transmission device 5 and the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote control device 91 in a predetermined frequency band (for example, 426 or 429 [MHz]), and is connected one-to-one via a predetermined ID. Be connected. That is, the remote control transmission device 5 and the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote control device 91 only perform transmission, and the remote control receiver 21 uses the operator ID transmitted from the remote control transmission device 5 and the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote control device 91. Establish communication status based on. At this time, since the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 transmits two types of signals as automatic signals, the remote controller 21 and the shutter opening / closing device control device 15 execute processing corresponding to the signal type. The details of this process will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 3, the remote control transmitter 5 has an open switch 5a for opening, a stop switch 5b for stopping, and a closing switch 5c for closing. The operator ID is simultaneously output to the remote controller receiver 21 of the shutter switch controller 15 together with the control signals related to each operation of the opening / closing stop corresponding to the operating state. By receiving the control signal including the operator ID, the shutter switch control device 15 executes an operation based on the control signal from the remote control transmission device 5.

As shown in FIG. 6, the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 is inserted into the USB socket or the power socket of the vehicle 90, and is turned on when the vehicle engine is started and turned off when the engine is stopped. Then, it moves with the movement of the vehicle. The in-vehicle automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 is a portable remote controller that can operate the opening / closing operation of the shutter device even from inside the vehicle 90, and has the same function as the remote controller transmitting device 5.

The photoelectric sensors 6 and 7 are obstacle detection devices used for confirming the passing state of a person, a vehicle, etc., and the presence of an object, etc., and are provided on the lower left and right ends of the opening. In the figure, it is provided at a predetermined position on either the front or the back of the opening, but it may be provided both on the front and back and / or above the opening. The photoelectric sensor 6 is composed of a prismatic floodlight support member, and a photoelectric sensor 7 composed of a receiver support member having the same shape is provided on the opposite side thereof so as to be paired. These photoelectric sensors 6 and 7 are arranged apart from each other by a distance corresponding to the longitudinal dimension of the seat plate of the shutter curtain 2 or the lateral width dimension of the opening.

The photoelectric sensor 6 supports a floodlight 6a including a light emitting element that emits light such as infrared rays by itself. On the other hand, the photoelectric sensor 7 supports a light receiver 7a including a light receiving element that receives and senses light by itself. The projector 6a of the photoelectric sensor 6 and the receiver 7a of the photoelectric sensor 7 are arranged so as to face each other, and form an optical path 8 of a light ray for detecting an object that runs along the seat plate at a position below the opening. When the photoelectric sensors 6 and 7 detect a person or an object (vehicle) in the optical path 8, the detection signal is transmitted to the shutter switch control device 15 by the switching mechanism of the photoelectric sensor amplifiers 6b and 7b. In FIG. 3, the optical path 8 schematically shows an object sensing region of the photoelectric sensors 6 and 7.

FIG. 7 is a timing chart showing the output of two types of automatic signals that the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote controller device repeatedly transmits in response to the power input. When the user enters the garage, gets into the vehicle 90 and starts the engine of the vehicle, the power supply of the in-vehicle automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 is changed from the OFF state to the ON state at the timing t0, as shown in the waveform of the power input in FIG. Changes to. In synchronization with this, the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 transmits an automatic signal A (first automatic signal) composed of a single pulse signal as shown in FIG. 7 at timing t0.

Next, the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 transmits an automatic signal B composed of a continuous pulse signal at a predetermined cycle at a timing t1 (timing t1 different from the transmission timing to) delayed by a predetermined time Ta from the transmission timing t0 of the automatic signal A. Continue transmission (for example, in a cycle of 2 to 3 seconds). The vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 continues to transmit the automatic signal B throughout the time the vehicle engine is starting. The transmission cycle of the automatic signal B may be the same as or different from that of the automatic signal of FIG. The pulse width of the automatic signals A and B is, for example, 0.4 to 0.8 seconds.

The automatic signal A is a single-shot pulse signal transmitted only once when the engine of the vehicle is started. After the single-shot pulse signal is transmitted, the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 continues to transmit only the automatic signal B until the vehicle engine is stopped and restarted. Information indicating which of the automatic signals A and B is given to the automatic signals A and B together with the operator ID.

FIG. 8 is a timing chart showing a modified example of the two types of automatic signals of FIG. 7. In FIG. 8, the waveform of the power input is the same as that in FIG. 7, and the power is turned on at the timing t0 of starting the engine of the vehicle. In FIG. 8, the automatic signal A1 is composed of a predetermined number (two in the figure) of pulse signals. That is, the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 transmits the first automatic signal A1a at the same timing t0 as the single pulse signal of the automatic signal A in FIG. 7 (A). Next, the second automatic signal A1b is transmitted at the timing t2 delayed by the time Tb from the transmission timing t0 of the first automatic signal A1a.

The in-vehicle automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 transmits an automatic signal B1 composed of a continuous pulse signal at a predetermined cycle (a timing t3 different from the transmission timings to and t2) at a timing t3 (timing t3 different from the transmission timings to and t2) delayed by a time Tc from the transmission timing t0 of the automatic signal A1a. For example, the transmission is continued at a cycle of 4 to 6 seconds). The transmission cycle of the automatic signal B1 may be the same as that of the automatic signal A1 or a different cycle as in the automatic signal B2, as long as the automatic signal A1 and the automatic signal B1 are not transmitted at the same time. It may be. The pulse width of the automatic signals A1 and B1 is, for example, 0.4 to 0.8 seconds. The automatic signal B2 is a continuous pulse signal having the same period as the automatic signal B in FIG. 7, but transmission is started at a timing t4 delayed by a time Td from the transmission timing t0 of the automatic signal A1a. That is, the automatic signal B2 starts transmission after the transmission of the automatic signal A1 is completed.

In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the automatic signal A is a single-shot pulse signal, and the automatic signal B is transmitted at different timings after the transmission of the automatic signal A. The automatic signal A1 of FIG. 8 is transmitted for a predetermined number (two shots in FIG. 8) or a predetermined time (during time Tb) after the power input of the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 is turned on, and the automatic signal B1 is transmitted. , It is a pulse signal having the same period as the automatic signal A, but the transmission timing of each is different. Further, the automatic signal B2 is transmitted after the transmission of the automatic signal A1 transmitted for a predetermined number or a predetermined time, and is a signal having a period different from that of the automatic signal A1. In order to distinguish between the two types of automatic signals, the transmission cycles of the automatic signals A and B may be different from each other, or the pulse widths of the automatic signals A and B may be different from each other.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of an automatic signal reception process executed when the remote controller receiver and the shutter switch controller control device receive or do not receive the automatic signal. The automatic signal reception process executed by the remote controller receiver 21 and the shutter switch controller 15 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The automatic signal reception process of FIG. 9 is a process executed by receiving the automatic signals A and B from the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote controller 91, respectively.
In step S81, it is determined whether or not the signal received by the remote control receiver 21 is the automatic signal A, and if it is the automatic signal A (yes), the process proceeds to step S82, and if not (no), the process proceeds to step S86. ..
In step S82, since the remote controller receiver 21 has received the automatic signal A, it outputs an open signal to the shutter device. That is, the shutter switch control device 15 outputs an open signal (OPEN) to the shutter device when the engine of the vehicle is started. This open signal causes the shutter device to perform an open operation.

In step S83, it is determined whether or not the remote control receiver 21 is receiving the automatic signal B, and if the automatic signal B (yes) is being received (yes), the determination in step S83 is repeatedly executed and received. When it disappears (no), that is, when the automatic signal B is not received, the process proceeds to the next step S84. The automatic signal B output by the vehicle-mounted automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 is a continuous pulse signal that is continuously transmitted when the power is on, that is, when the power is supplied.

In step S84, it is determined whether or not 10 seconds have elapsed since the automatic signal B was in the non-reception state in the previous step S83, and if 10 seconds have elapsed (yes), the process proceeds to the next step S85 and elapses. If not (no), this step is repeated until 10 seconds have passed.

In step S85, 10 seconds have passed since the automatic signal B was in the non-reception state, so a closing signal is output to the shutter device. That is, when the vehicle leaves the garage and is separated from the garage by a predetermined distance, the radio wave of the automatic signal B from the in-vehicle automatic opening / closing remote control device 91 becomes weak, and the remote control receiver 21 can receive the automatic signal B. It disappears. Therefore, the remote controller receiver 21 and the shutter opening / closing device control device 15 output a closing signal (CLOSE) to the shutter device 10 seconds after the automatic signal B cannot be received. The shutter device performs a closing operation by this closing signal.

In step S86, it is determined whether or not the signal received by the remote controller receiver 21 is the automatic signal B, and if it is the automatic signal B (yes), the process proceeds to step S87, and if not (no), the process ends. ..
In step S87, since the remote controller receiver 21 has received the automatic signal B, it outputs an open signal to the shutter device. That is, the fact that it was determined to be no in step S81 and yes in step S86 means that the remote controller receiver 21 received the automatic signal B without receiving the automatic signal A transmitted when the engine of the vehicle was started. become. In this way, the fact that only the automatic signal B is received without receiving the automatic signal A means that the vehicle has arrived from the outside. Therefore, the shutter switch control device 15 outputs an open signal (OPEN) to the shutter device and executes the opening operation of the shutter device.

In step S88, it is determined whether or not the remote control receiver 21 is receiving the automatic signal B, and if the automatic signal B (yes) is being received (yes), the determination in step S88 is repeatedly executed and received. When it disappears (no), that is, when the automatic signal B is not received, the process proceeds to the next step S89. The in-vehicle automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 turns off the power when the vehicle engine is stopped, and also stops transmitting the automatic signal B. Therefore, in step S88, it is determined whether or not the vehicle engine has been stopped. become.

In step S89, it is determined whether or not 60 seconds have passed since the automatic signal B was in the non-reception state in the previous step S88, and if 60 seconds have passed (yes), the process proceeds to the next step S8A and elapses. If not (no), this step is repeated until 60 seconds have passed.

In step S8A, 60 seconds have passed since the automatic signal B was in the non-reception state, so a closing signal is output to the shutter device. That is, the remote control receiver 21 and the shutter opening / closing device control device 15 send a closing signal (CLOSE) to the shutter device until about 60 seconds to several minutes have elapsed from the time when the vehicle enters the garage and the user exits the garage. ) Is not output, and after 60 seconds to several minutes have passed, a closing signal is output to execute the closing operation of the shutter device.

Although the case where the in-vehicle automatic opening / closing remote controller 91 transmits the automatic signals A and B as shown in FIG. 7 has been described, the same processing can be performed for the automatic signals A1, B1 and B2 in FIG.

In the above-described embodiment, the shutter curtain that is extended by the vertical elevating method has been described as an example, but the same applies even if the shutter-shaped opening / closing member is extended by the horizontal pulling method or the horizontal method. Can be applied to. Further, as the opening / closing device, for example, it can be applied to a shutter device, an overhead door, a window shutter device, a blind device, a roll screen device, a hanging curtain device, a sliding door device, a moving partition device, an awning device, a waterproof plate device, and the like. ..
The vehicle itself may be equipped with a short-range wireless communication function such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). In this case, the automatic signals A and B may be transmitted by establishing the connection between the vehicle-mounted Bluetooth (registered trademark) and the automatic opening / closing remote controller.
