[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a control device for an electric blind, for example, an electric blind capable of collectively controlling operation control such as opening / closing and raising / lowering of an extremely large number of hundreds or more provided on a window surface of a high-rise building or the like. The present invention relates to a control device. In the present invention, the electric blind includes a roll screen, a curtain, a shutter, and the like, in addition to a so-called narrow blind in which a large number of slats are suspended by ladder cords.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, the use of electric blinds, which control the blinds installed in a large number of windows with a computer, has been rapidly increasing as the number of buildings has increased. In general, it is better to keep the blinds shaded during the day to avoid sunlight on the south facing window, raise it after sunset, and lower it after work to make it shielded. There is no need to consider the effects of solar radiation on the window surface, and the shade of the blinds depends on the direction of the window surface of the building. The demands to adjust the state are different, and therefore it is required to perform an operation corresponding to this for each blind. However, in high-rise buildings, etc., the number of blinds installed is extremely large, and opening and closing operations etc. are performed individually for each blind. However, depending on the location, blinds near the ceiling, such as a high ceiling, must be remotely controlled. Since, is desired to be able to collectively control a large number of blind, since the overall control by the computer is capable of electric blind it is suitable for such control.
[0003]
However, many electric blinds installed in high-rise buildings and the like are rarely controlled to the same state. Rather, the above-mentioned various companies and organizations with different window orientations and working hours are in each floor. Alternatively, it is desired that even the same floor can be controlled by dividing it into departments divided into a certain range.
[0004]
In such a case, it is necessary to designate a target for each blind and send a control command, and an identification mark (individual number) for identifying each blind is necessary.
[0005]
By the way, as a method of assigning identification numbers to individual blinds in order to control a plurality of electric blinds with a computer, for example, a blind controller including a local CPU provided for driving control of each blind is used. Then, an identification number as an address (hereinafter referred to as a “physical address” as a mechanically assigned address) is assigned by a code setting means such as a DIP switch or a rotary switch, and a specific blind is driven from the overall control device side. A method (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-5387) has been proposed.
[0006]
Further, the blind controller including the above-mentioned local CPU etc. included in each of the many blinds receives the identification number transmitted from the overall control device side and stores it, and the identification number stored by itself is, for example, “ Transmission means for transmitting the identification number “+1” to the next blind controller, and a number of blind controllers connected in series by a signal transmission path sequentially identify the identification number as an address (hereinafter referred to as “logic as an address to be stored in the memory”). There has also been proposed a method for assigning addresses (referred to as Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-248152).
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional method of setting physical addresses by mechanical means has a problem that initial work for setting all different physical addresses for a very large number of blinds exceeding several hundreds is very complicated, and tenant When changing the physical address once set due to replacement, etc., it is necessary to switch the DIP switch of the target blind controller manually, especially when there are many units or depending on the installation position etc. There is a problem of time and labor waste that the change work becomes very complicated, and even though it can be applied to a small electric blind group, it is a reality that it can be applied to overall control of a large blind group. Not right.
[0008]
On the other hand, a method of numbering “+1” sequentially from the number assigned to the upper blind controller to the blind controller connected in series to the above-mentioned overall control device is performed from the overall control device side to each blind controller. Since an address code can be assigned, there is an advantage that initial address setting work is easy. However, since only a sequential address of “+1” is sequentially given to a large number of blinds connected in series, when a blind in the middle is moved or a blind is added, a corresponding series is applied. There is a problem that the numerical address of each blind belonging to the control system must be reset. In addition, in the case of overall control of a large-scale blind group, it is actually not easy to perform partial management using only assigned numbers.
[0009]
In addition, there is a problem in that part of the blinds belonging to a series of control systems is partly controlled by the remote control means because the address of the blind to be controlled is difficult to understand.
[0010]
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel electric blind control device that solves the problems in the conventional control device as described above. An electrical signal transmitted from a general command means including a computer for the address of each blind used for operation control so as to be suitable for the general control of these blinds in a building where a large number of blinds are installed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a control device for an electric blind that can be easily set and can be easily switched.
[0011]
Another object of the present invention is to provide a control device for an electric blind capable of easily controlling and managing a blind group for each floor in a high-rise building or the like or for each department partitioned as a certain range. By the way.
[0012]
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a control device for an electric blind capable of managing a blind to be controlled and ensuring that the operation is performed.
[0013]
Another object of the present invention is to provide secondary command means for each floor of the central control unit, for example, each floor of a high-rise building, so that daily blind operation commands can be transferred, and the burden of the overall command means is reduced. It is in the place of providing the control apparatus of the electric blind which can be reduced.
[0014]
[Means and Actions for Solving the Problems]
  One of the features of the control device for the electric blind according to the present invention that achieves the above object is to control the operation of the corresponding electric blind for each of a plurality of electric blinds or for each group performing the same operation. In the control device for the electric blind, in which one blind controller is provided, these blind controllers are connected by a communication line, and command means for instructing the operation of the blind is connected to one end of the communication line. Physical address setting means for providing a physical address code for individually identifying each blind controller by mechanical operation; a physical address code transmitted from the command means together with the physical address code; and a physical address transmitted from the command means If the code specifies self, the physical address code A logical address registration means for registering a logical address code transmitted together, and an operation command transmitted from the command means together with the logical address code when the logical address code transmitted from the command means designates itself Operation control means for operating the blind based on the signal, the command means together with a logical address setting means for setting the logical address code indicating each blind controller, and a physical address code indicating the destination blind controller Logical address transmission means for transmitting the set logical address code; and an operation signal transmission means for transmitting the operation command signal for determining the operation of the blind controller together with the logical address code indicating the destination blind controller, The logical address setting means is At least, common numerals and / or symbols with a plurality of blind belonging to the group to perform the action associated with common or another to identify the other blindCodeCommon numbers and / or signs to distinguish multiple blinds belonging to the first hierarchy and groups that perform common or interrelated operations from other blindsA code different from the code of the first layerSigned with numbers and / or symbols to identify the second hierarchy and each blind in the group according to the first or second hierarchy.CodeA blind identification layer and a logical address code having a plurality of hierarchical structures are set.
[0015]
In the above configuration, as an electric blind, a general blind in which a large number of slats are suspended in a vertical direction with a ladder cord is generally used. However, in the case of other roll screens, curtains, shutters, etc. Can be included.
[0016]
A blind controller provided for each one or a group of electric blinds, for example, according to each receiving means for receiving various signals from the command means, storage means such as a memory, a predetermined sequence program, etc. A motor that rotates a drum around which a slat lifting string is wound for opening and closing, a motor that rotates a tilting drum around which a ladder cord is wound in order to adjust the light shielding state of the slats, and the like, and a control means for controlling the driving of these. It is configured as having an MPU (microprocessor unit). In addition to the case where one blind controller is provided for each blind, when one controller can be used for the same operation at all times, one blind controller is provided for a group of blinds performing the same operation. A blind controller can be provided.
[0017]
This blind controller receives the logical address code sent together with the identification code indicating each blind controller from the command means connected to one end of the communication line, and the transmitted identification code and its own identification code match. Then, it has logical address registration (storage) means for registering (storing) a logical address code when it is determined. In this case, the identification code possessed by each blind controller may be, for example, one (“physical address”) input by a mechanical operation such as a DIP switch or a rotary switch, but is not limited thereto. According to the above-mentioned method of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-248152, from the number as the identification code inputted to the blind controller closest to the command means, for example, the number “+1” is sequentially given to the next blind controller as the identification code. It is also possible to adopt a method in which a preliminary logical address code is set and a “logical address code” having a hierarchical structure of the present invention is assigned using the number of the preliminary logical address code.
[0018]
The logical address is transmitted from the command means to a series of blind controllers connected in series through a communication line together with a physical address code indicating a transmission destination, and the transmitted physical address code is set to self. In the coincident blind controller, the logical address code is registered, and thereafter, the blind operation control can be performed by transmitting an operation command signal from the command means together with the logical address code.
[0019]
The “logical address code” set by the logical address setting means has a hierarchical structure suitable for distinguishing a plurality of blinds belonging to a group performing common or mutually related operations from others. This will be described by taking as an example the case of a large number of blinds installed on the windows of a high-rise building. For example, the first hierarchy indicating the floor of a predetermined floor (for example, the symbol and number “F” indicating the floor) ), If there are multiple companies on the floor, the second hierarchy indicating the predetermined company (tenant) (for example, the symbol and number of “T” indicating the tenant), the predetermined department within the same tenant A code having four layers (for example, a “G” symbol and number indicating a department) and a fourth layer (for example, a number) for distinguishing blinds in the same department If it is the second blind of the fourth department of the first tenant on the 10th floor, it can be set as “10F01T04G02”). Of course, the code can consist of numbers only. In the above example, the upper 2 digits are the floor, the next 2 digits are the tenant, the next 2 digits are the department, and the lowest 2 digits are in the same department. The number may be “10010402”. It goes without saying that the logical address code configuration can be applied to an appropriate code configuration in consideration of the ease of management and operability at the time of re-registration, in addition to the classification of floors, tenants, departments, etc. The number of layers is not limited as long as there are a plurality of structures.
[0020]
In the above, “groups that perform operations related to each other” are determined according to the management purpose, and are not limited to the classification of floors, tenants, departments, etc. as described above. Thus, a case in which the blinds of windows on the south, east, west, and north surfaces are controlled in accordance with the solar radiation state by combining devices that detect the solar radiation state with a sensor can be exemplified.
[0021]
According to the logical address code having such a four-layered hierarchical structure, for example, only one blind of “10F01T04G02” can be operated independently, and a predetermined digit match (for example, the front of the upper three digits “10F”) If it is configured so that the target blind can be transmitted / received in accordance with (match), can the operation of opening and closing all the 10th floor blinds be performed by transmitting the logical address code of “10F?” And the operation command signal? Similarly, when the first tenant on the 10th floor is temporarily closed, for example, when the first tenant on the 10th floor is temporarily closed, it is easy to close the window blind that belongs to that tenant. Can be.
[0022]
The command means of the present invention is usually composed of a computer and input means such as a keyboard.
[0023]
In addition to setting the logical address code as described above, the command means of the present invention has a role of transmitting various control signals for blind operation control to the blind controller together with a logical address code indicating a transmission destination. Have.
[0024]
These operation controls are exemplified as follows.
[0025]
{Circle around (1)}: Performs a predetermined blind operation (opening / closing, slat tilting posture setting, etc.).
[0026]
{Circle around (2)} A calendar function is provided, and a routine operation that is repeated as a constant operation on a daily basis, a weekly basis, a monthly basis, a yearly basis, etc. is automatically performed blindly.
[0027]
{Circle over (3)} An abnormality in the operating state of the blind is detected in cooperation with a sensor provided in each blind.
[0028]
{Circle over (4)} A logical address code is transmitted together with a physical address code every few seconds or minutes, for example, and each blind controller is made to confirm the logical address code registered therein.
[0029]
{Circle around (5)} The latest (most recent performed by the blind) operation signal is transmitted together with the logical address code every few seconds or minutes, for example, to ensure the completion of the predetermined blind operation.
[0030]
{Circle around (6)} A predetermined blind operation is automatically performed based on the illuminance data input from the sunlight sensor.
[0031]
The means for controlling these operations is generally provided by a sequence program module incorporated in a ROM or RAM of a computer constituting the command means, but is not limited thereto.
[0032]
  The command means having the above-described functions of the present invention preferably includes such a command means as a higher order command means comprising a computer and a keyboard, etc., and an MPU lower order secondary connected to the command means. A control device combining a plurality of command means can be mentioned. Specifically, for example, for each floor of a high-rise building, for example, about one hundred blind controllers installed on that floor are connected to one communication line.soA configuration is possible in which the secondary command means is connected to one end thereof, and the secondary command means of each floor is connected to the higher order command means by another communication line. Of course, there may be a plurality of secondary command means for each floor.
[0033]
  Such a method using the secondary command means is convenient when each logical controller connected to the secondary command means (hereinafter referred to as a blind controller subordinate to the secondary command means) is transmitted and registered with a logical address code. There are advantages. For example, when a logical address code is transmitted for registration, it is necessary to transmit the logical address code together with, for example, a physical address code for identifying a transmission destination as described above. In a configuration where the blind controller is branched, communication lines on each floorsoIf the connected blind controller group can be distinguished between blind controllers connected by one communication line (for example, physical address codes of 001 to 100 in the case of 100 units), the physical address codes of communication lines of different systems This is because the same serial number (physical address codes of 100 blind controllers of all communication lines may be set to 001 to 100) may be set, so that the setting work of the physical address becomes easy.
[0034]
Further, the secondary command means can be provided so as to have a function as a simple repeater that only allows the command from the general command means to flow through the communication line connected to the secondary command means. It can also be provided to have some or all of the role of the means. Specifically, for example, the logical address transmission means is provided in the secondary command means, the logical address code transmitted from the general command means is stored, and the logical address code is set and registered in the blind controller below the secondary command means. Update re-registration may be possible, or logical address setting means such as a keyboard is connected, and the logical address code of the blind controller subordinate to the secondary command means is set not by the general command means but by this secondary command means It can also be made possible. Further, the function of the command means exemplified in the above (1) to (6) may be provided in the secondary command means without overlapping the general command means or providing a part of the means in the general command means. it can. For this purpose, various means are provided in the following secondary command means. For example, the calendar function and the routine operation of the blind controller subordinate to the secondary command means that is routinely repeated as a constant operation on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis are stored in each blind controller. A means for automatically transmitting and operating, a means for detecting abnormalities in the operating state of the blind in cooperation with sensors provided in each blind, and a logical address code are transmitted together with a physical address code every few seconds or minutes, for example. Means for confirming the logical address code registered by each blind controller, means for transmitting the latest operation signal together with the logical address code every several seconds or minutes, for example, and ensuring completion of the operation of a predetermined blind It is.
[0035]
In the command means provided with the secondary command means together with the general command means, the secondary command means needs to have an address code as well as the address code indicating the blind controller. Since the number of secondary command means is relatively small, the signal transmission destination can be identified and managed by the physical address described above. However, when the number is relatively large, the same logic as that for setting the logical address code for the blind controller is used. Of course, an address setting method can be adopted.
[0036]
The method using the secondary command means is provided with a plurality of tertiary command means (more specifically, a lower order multiple command means) below the secondary command means for the same reason if necessary. Of course, a blind controller may be provided.
[0037]
  Another feature of the present invention is that the logical address code of a predetermined blind controller is repeatedly transmitted together with the physical address code every unit time so that the logical address code registered in each blind controller is confirmed, or the latest operation signal Is repeatedly transmitted every unit time together with the logical address code to ensure the completion of a predetermined blind operation. This is due to the following reason. That is, in order to ensure signal transmission / reception, it is conceivable to return the signal received at the transmission destination to the transmission source in order to confirm whether or not the transmission signal of the transmission source is reliably received by the reception destination. However, in this method, it is necessary to provide means for returning a predetermined signal from the transmission destination to the transmission source. However, this makes the whole system complex and extremelyTheThe problem is that the cost of many blind controllers increases. Therefore, in the present invention, in consideration of a case where transmission / reception when a predetermined signal is transmitted due to a problem on the communication line is inappropriate, the same signal is repeatedly transmitted every predetermined unit time. This is a method for avoiding malfunction due to the above problems. The unit time for repeated transmission is not limited, but it is often preferable to set the operation signal and the logical address code to several seconds to several minutes.
[0038]
Still another feature of the present invention is that a remote control means that is not wiredly connected to the communication line is provided, and a setting signal for logical address code or an operation command signal is transmitted wirelessly to the blind controller or secondary command means. It is in a place where transmission is provided.
[0039]
Thereby, a specific blind can be arbitrarily operated in a blind installation place or the like.
[0040]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be further described based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.
[0041]

In this example, the blind opening / closing operation and the slat rotation operation can be controlled according to the solar radiation state detected from the illuminance sensor 2 via the illuminance amplifier 3.
[0042]
Reference numeral 4 denotes a floor control device (hereinafter abbreviated as “FCU”) as a secondary command means installed on each floor of a high-rise building. For example, all the blinds are installed on each floor of a 40th-floor building. FCU4 on the first floor₀₁FCU4 on the 40th floor₄₀Are connected in series to the central control device 1 by the first communication line 101.
[0043]

[0045]
FIG. 2 shows a blind installed on a window of a predetermined floor (for example, the 40th floor) of a high-rise building having an electric blind control device configured as shown in FIG. It is a figure for demonstrating a relationship, In this figure, T and a number (1-5) show the tenant (company etc.) who are occupying the floor, G and a number (1-5) are the one A group in a tenant is shown, and U and a number indicate a blind serial number in each tenant. Moreover, M and the number (1-2) have shown the direction with respect to the east-west north-south (for example, M1 is a south surface and M2 is an east surface) of the building.
[0046]
Therefore, for example, the logical address code “F40M1T1G3U6” indicates a blind installed on the south facing window belonging to the group 3 of the company named Tenant 1 on the 40th floor. The serial number of the tenant 1 is the sixth blind. It can be grasped very simply.
[0047]
Next, an operation for setting and registering such a logical address code in each blind controller 5 and an operation for transmitting an operation command signal for operating the blind 502 will be described.
[0048]
The relationship among the central control unit 1, FCU 4 and BC 5 in this example is shown in FIGS. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the central control unit 1 has a microprocessor unit (MPU) 110 and initial setting means for setting various initial conditions such as input of logical address codes, time allocation, calendar setting, etc. by a keyboard or the like. 111, a memory 112, etc., as needed, state monitoring means (means for displaying the state after completion of each blind operation when necessary) 113, display means 114 such as a CRT, automatic control means ( (Means for sequentially operating the blinds in accordance with the above conditions (1) to (6)) 115, manual control means 116, A / D converter 117 input from the illuminance amplifier 3, and signals between the MPU 110 and the FCU 4 Are provided.
[0049]
As shown in FIG. 4, the FCU (floor control unit) 4 is a signal between the microprocessor unit (MPU) 410, the I / O 411 that inputs and outputs signals between the central control unit 1, and the BC 5. Are input / output 412, a memory 413 that stores predetermined information, and a data periodic transmission circuit 414 that is set to repeatedly output a predetermined signal every unit time.
[0050]
As shown in FIG. 5, the BC (blind controller) 5 includes a microprocessor unit (MPU) 510, an I / O 511 for inputting / outputting signals between the central control unit 1 or the FCU 4, and a mechanical device such as a DIP switch. A physical address code setting means 512 and a memory 513 for registering (storing) a logical address code or storing other operation signals and the like. Further, the MPU 510 is used for opening and closing the slats of the electric blind 502. And the slat tilting motor 5021 are connected to drive and control, and the blind lift detection sensor 5022 and the slat angle detection sensor 5023 are connected to receive detection signals. In this example, a test mode execution circuit 514 is also provided for the blind trial operation.
[0051]
Signal transmission / reception among the central control unit 1, the FCU (floor control unit) 4, and the BC (blind controller) 5 configured as described above is performed as follows. First, as shown in FIG. 6, the FCU 4 on each floor receives a signal sent from the central control unit 1 via the first communication line 101 and designates its own floor (physical address code transmitted simultaneously). If the address is not stored, it is passed to the next FCU as it is, and if it is specified, it is stored in the memory 413 of the FCU 4 if the signal is to be stored. Such signals to be stored include, for example, a logical address code received together with a physical address code, information for operation control of the lower BC 5 received together with the logical address code (for example, blind open / close mode, logical address, Calendar information). If the signal is not a storage target and is a signal that should be transmitted directly to the lower BC of the FCU, the signal is transmitted to the second communication line 401.
[0052]
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the stored information is read from the memory, and a predetermined signal (for example, blind open / close mode, logical address) is transmitted to a series of BCs 5 connected to the lower side via the second communication line 401. , Calendar information, etc.) are sent together with a logical address code indicating the destination, and blind operation control by BC5 is performed. If a logical address code is set, each BC5₀₀₁ ~ BC₁₀₀ A logical address code is transmitted together with the physical address code set to “1”, and a predetermined logical address code is registered in each BC.
[0053]
In BC5, as shown in FIG. 8, various signals transmitted from FCU4 are received, and when the self is not designated by the physical address code or the logical address code, it is directly passed to the next BC, and the self If specified, the signal is received. When the address setting signal is received, the logical address in the memory 513 is reset and a new logical address is updated and registered. If the operation command signal is received together with the logical address code without receiving the address setting signal, the conventional operation command stored in the memory 513 is reset and a new operation command is stored. Operate the blinds based on
[0054]
FIG. 9 shows a state in which the logical address code is registered in each BC (blind controller) on the floor of FIG. 2 as described above, and is connected in series to the second communication line 401 from the FCU 4. Physical address codes 001 to n (for example, 100) are set in advance in BC, and logical address codes of each blind (“T1G1U1” to “T5G1U5” in the example in the figure) are given as the physical address code indicators.
[0055]
Thereafter, blind operation control is performed based on the operation command signal sent together with the logical address code.
[0056]
In this example, FCU(Floor control device) The data command transmission circuit 414 of the floor 4 repeatedly transmits the operation command signal together with the logical address code to each BC 5 every unit time of about several seconds. Operation is reliably ensured.
[0057]

【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, it becomes possible to suitably control these blinds in a building or the like where a very large number of blinds such as several hundreds are installed. And can be easily managed.
[0059]
In addition, it is easy to change the setting of the logical address once set, and it is possible to easily cope with the increase or movement of the blinds or the group change, for example, for each floor in a high-rise building or the like. Blind groups for each department partitioned as a certain range can be easily controlled and managed.
[0060]
Furthermore, by repeatedly transmitting a predetermined signal to the blind to be controlled every unit time, the operation can be performed reliably, and the logical address can be confirmed with certainty.
[0061]
Furthermore, since a secondary command means can be provided for each floor of the central control unit, for example, each floor of a high-rise building, it is possible to shift daily blind operation commands, etc., thereby reducing the burden on the overall command means. The effect that it can do is also acquired.
