DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shutter control system in an automated store, and more particularly to a shutter control system in an automated store that opens and closes a store by opening and closing a shutter unattended at a preset date and time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, automated stores that do not require human operations for opening and closing stores have become quite popular, including cash corners of banks. Such an automated store automatically opens and closes the shutter when the store opening time comes, and automatically closes the shutter via the store closing operation set in the program when the store close time comes.

At this time, since the store is unmanned, the shutter closing operation needs to be controlled in consideration of safety and security. FIG. 6 shows a configuration diagram of a conventional shutter control system. In the figure, reference numeral 21 denotes a shutter. The shutter 21 is provided at an entrance / exit 22 of the store, is coupled to a motor 23 at an upper portion, and moves up and down in the direction of arrow A according to the rotation of the motor 23. The motor 23 is connected to the control unit 24, and its rotation is controlled according to a control signal from the control unit 24. Control unit 2
4 controls the motor 23 in accordance with a preset schedule to control the opening and closing of the shutter 21 and the obstacle detection sensor 2 provided on the seat plate 21 a of the shutter 21.
5 and a user detection sensor 2 provided above the entrance 22
The control is performed to safely close the shutter 21 in response to the detection of the obstacle 27 and the user 28 by 6.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation of the conventional shutter 21 when the shutter 21 is closed. The conventional shutter control system combines various preset operations so as to confirm that the inside of the automated store is unoccupied, rather than unconditionally lowering the shutter when the store close time arrives. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A or 6B, when the obstacle detection sensor 25 provided on the seat plate 21a of the shutter 21 detects the obstacle 27 while the shutter 21 is descending, or when the obstacle detection sensor 25 is provided near the shutter. When the detection signal of the person detection sensor 26 is received (steps S101, S102, S1
03, S104), the shutter motor 23 was once stopped, then raised for a predetermined time and then lowered again (step S105). Generally, the motor 23 is reversed immediately after the obstacle detection signal is input, and the motor 23 is reversed again so that the shutter 21 is raised for several seconds and then lowered again.

In order to normally close the shutter 21,
It takes about one minute. Therefore, the shutter 2
1 has enough grace time to complete the closure (eg 3
), And if the store closing operation is not completed within the grace period, a warning is transmitted to a remote monitoring center or the like (steps S106, S107, S108).

[0006]

However, in the closing control of the conventional shutter control system, the same operation is performed when an obstacle is detected and when a passing person is detected. For example, there is an obstacle. In this case, the shutter is repeatedly moved up and down, and if the closing time is long, the motor that drives the shutter will repeat the reversing operation, and the motor will be overloaded and may be heated and destroyed. Conversely, if the grace period is shortened to prevent motor damage and the motor operation is stopped to prevent motor destruction, the grace period must be adjusted to the characteristics of the motor. It was not possible to set the time in consideration of evacuation of persons and obstacles, and there was a problem in safety.

In addition, the shutter 21 repeatedly rises and falls until the store closing delay time elapses, so that noise accompanying the rise and fall of the shutter has been a problem. Further, in the conventional system, the alarm is output after stopping the control of the shutter if the shutter is not closed after the grace period for closing the store, and if the shutter cannot be closed due to an obstacle placed on the shutter line, the observer will be notified. will be the shutter open state until the first of the maintenance personnel will be abnormal to know that to arrive followed by alarm after closing the grace period of time, crime prevention undesirable. Furthermore, even if there are people who enter and exit when the store closes, the user only has to repeat short up and down movements like an obstacle, so there is a feeling of mental anxiety for customers that they may be trapped in the store. However, there is a problem that the safety of a person who tries to get in and out also has a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned store, and has as its object to provide a shutter control system in an automated store which is safe and has good security.

[0009]

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an automated store control device for controlling a sales function of a store according to a preset schedule. A shutter control system in an automated store, comprising: a shutter control device connected to the store control device, the shutter control device controlling opening and closing of the store in response to an opening and closing store control signal supplied from the automated store control device. An obstacle detection sensor that detects an obstacle that becomes an obstacle, wherein the shutter control device lowers the shutter when the store close time arrives, and starts timing a preset store close delay time, When the obstacle detection sensor detects the obstacle within the grace period of closing the store, the lowering of the shutter is stopped, and After raising, repeating the operation of lowering again, stopping the lowering of the shutter when the obstacle is detected by the obstacle detection sensor a predetermined number of times, raising the shutter for a predetermined time, and stopping the shutter. Outputting a first alarm to a centralized monitoring center;
After the alarm has been outputted, the determination of closing time whether elapsed the closing grace period, the when the closing delay time has elapsed is again lowered the shutter, when the
The obstacle must be detected by the obstacle detection sensor.
Then, the shutter is lowered normally, the entrance is closed, and when the obstacle is detected again by the obstacle detection sensor when the shutter is lowered, the lowering of the shutter is stopped and the second alarm is concentrated. It is configured to output to the monitoring center .

[0010] In the invention according to claim 2, the store
User detection to detect residents inside the building or passers-by near the entrance
It has knowledge sensor, the shutter control device, the closing grace
The user is detected by the user detection sensor within the scheduled time.
When notified, raise the shutter to the fully open position.
After that, let it descend again, and after the grace period for closing the store has passed,
The descent of the shutter is stopped and a second alarm is issued.
Configuration.

[0011]

According to the present onset Akira [action], the doorway to the closing time the shutter
When closing the shutter stop by the input of the obstacle detection signal from the obstacle detection means provided on the shutter seat plate,
It is raised for a predetermined time and lowered again. When an obstacle signal is received a predetermined number of times (for example, three times), a first alarm is output to a remote monitoring center, and the shutter is stopped after rising for a predetermined time. Then, it waits for the preset closing grace time as it is from the closing time, and lowers the shutter again after the lapse of the closing grace time. If an obstacle is not detected and the shutter is closed, the first alarm is released, and if an obstacle is detected again, a second alarm is output, and after raising for a predetermined time, all operations are stopped.

When the user is detected by the user detecting means within the grace period, the shutter is raised to the upper end (fully opened) and the shutter is lowered again. If the user is detected and the shutter cannot be completely closed within the closing time, the operation is stopped at that point and a second alarm is output. As described above, since the shutter is not operated unnecessarily, damage to the motor or the like that drives the shutter can be prevented.

Further, since the first alarm and the second alarm can be used to grasp the status of the store, the security staff can quickly respond to abnormalities and the like. Further, when the user is detected within the closing time, the shutter is fully opened, so that the user can safely go out of the store without feeling uneasy.
