Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an automatic store closing device of a business establishment such as a bank in which shielding means is installed at an entrance, and more particularly to an automatic store closing device that allows a customer who is trapped at the time of closing a store to exit.
[0002]
[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention]
It has been proposed and implemented to search for the presence or absence of a resident in a store at a predetermined time, and perform a closing operation if there is no occupant and stop the closing operation if there is a resident. .
[0003]
For example, according to Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-56236, the shutter is closed when the detection signal of the occupant search sensor disappears between the closing time and the designated time. In addition, since there is a possibility that there is a detection blind spot in the occupant search sensor, the shutter may be fully closed even though there are occupants. Therefore, in the predetermined time after the shutter is fully closed, the occupant search sensor detects that the occupant moves and opens the shutter. At the end of the predetermined time, that is, at the designated time, the power is shut off and the shutter is stopped as it is even if the shutter is opened.
[0004]
That is, after the designated time, if the shutter is opened, a third party can enter the store without any restrictions. In this case, the confined customers can safely leave, but there is a problem that the safety of the establishment is impaired because a third party can enter the room freely thereafter.
[0005]
Therefore, the object of the present invention is to open the shielding means by operating the opening means within a predetermined time after the closing of the shielding means at the time of closing the store, so that the trapped customer can safely exit, and thereafter It is to provide an automatic store closing device that can perform quick store closing control so that a person cannot enter a room freely.
[0006]
[Means and Actions for Solving Problems]
When the shielding means installed at the entrance of the establishment, the storage means for storing the closing time, the occupant sensor for detecting the presence / absence of the occupants in the establishment, and the shielding means are fully closed A first time counting means that is activated at a time, a switch that is operated by an occupant to open the shielding means, and a display means that displays an installation position of the switch when the shielding means is fully closed. the the first time counting means the switch is operated during the time counting is opened the blocking means, when the person in the room sensor is not detected continuously a occupants predetermined time, closing operation of the shield means having a shielding means controls to perform.

【Example】
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing the basic configuration of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a closing flowchart of the apparatus according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a shielding means such as a shutter or a door that is installed at the entrance of the store and divides the store from the outside. When the shielding unit 1 is fully opened or fully closed, a detector (not shown) sends a fully open signal or a fully closed signal to the control unit 44 described later. 2 is a resident sensor that is installed in the store and detects the presence of a resident in the store, 3 is a storage means for storing the preliminary search time, opening / closing time, and the like, and 4 is a resident A shielding means controller that closes or opens the shielding means in accordance with the detection status of the sensor. Reference numeral 5 denotes a remote signal (not shown) when the shielding means controller 4 detects an abnormality of the shielding means 1. It is a reporting means for reporting to the control center. 6 is an opening means for opening the shielding means. In addition, it is preferable to install the opening means 6 in a place near the doorway where it can be seen easily. Further, the storage unit 3 and the notification unit 5 may be built in the shielding unit controller 4.
[0008]
Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the closing operation when the apparatus according to the present invention is installed in a store will be described. First, the control means 44 reads the preliminary search time from the storage means 3 and starts the preliminary search for the occupants by driving the occupant sensor 2 via the input / output unit 42 when the preliminary search time is reached ( Step 1).
[0009]
That is, the preliminary search is a search for whether or not a customer remains in the store prior to the closing operation. When the occupant is detected in the preliminary search, the control unit 44 determines that the customer remains in the store.
[0010]
Next, when the closing time read from the storage means coincides with the current time (step 2), the control means 44 determines whether or not the occupant sensor 2 has detected the occupant in the preliminary search. When the occupant is detected in the search, the occupant sensor 2 searches for the occupant in the store. Then, when the occupant sensor 2 does not detect the occupant for a period of time T1, for example, by the search timer, the closing operation of the shielding unit 1 is started via the closing signal output unit 411 (steps 4 and 5). Step 6). Then, the closing timer 432 is started together with the start of the closing operation (step 7).
[0011]
Further, when the occupant sensor 2 does not detect the occupant by the closing time in the preliminary search, the closing unit 1 performs the closing operation of the shielding unit 1 via the closing signal output unit 411 which is the drive control unit 41 and closes it. The timer 432 is started (Step 3, Step 6, and Step 7).
[0012]
That is, when the occupant is not detected in the preliminary search, the closing operation of the shielding unit 1 is started as soon as the closing time is reached, and when the occupant is detected in the preliminary search, the occupant is detected even when the closing time is reached. For example, when the occupant sensor 2 does not detect the occupant continuously for T1 time, the closing operation of the shielding unit 1 is started via the closing signal output unit 411.
[0013]
Further, when the occupant sensor 2 detects the occupant, for example, when the occupant sensor 2 detects that the occupant sensor enters the store again while the shielding unit 1 is in the process of closing, the closing operation of the shielding unit 1 is performed via the stop signal output unit 413. Next, the shielding means 1 is opened via the opening signal output unit 412 (steps 9 and 10). Then, after fully opening the shielding means 1, the occupant sensor 2 searches for the occupants in the store again, and when the occupants are not detected continuously for T1 time, the shielding means 1 is closed ( Step 4, Step 5, Step 6). If the shielding means 1 does not finish closing before the closing timer 432 expires, the control means 44 transmits an abnormality signal to a remote control center (not shown) via the notification means 5 (step 13).
[0014]
When the occupant sensor 2 is not installed at an appropriate location, the shielding unit 1 is fully closed even though the customer is occupying the room. When the shielding means 1 is fully closed, the first timer 433 is started (step 15). When the occupant operates the opening means 6 constituted by, for example, an operation button or a switch when the first timer 433 is activated, the control means 44 is connected to the shielding means 1 via the opening signal output unit 412. Opening is performed to make it fully open (step 16 step 10).
[0015]
Then, the occupant sensor 2 searches for the occupants, and when the occupants are not present for T1 time, the shielding means 1 is closed again (steps 4, 5 and 6). When the first timer 433 expires, the operation of the closing means stops, and thereafter the closing means is not opened even if the opening means 6 is operated (steps 17 and 18).
[0016]
In addition, when the shielding means 1 is in the fully closed state, a display means may be provided for displaying the operation method and the installation position of the opening means 6 by voice or a display device by a fully closed signal from a detector (not shown). Good. Each timer means may be a variable type that is appropriately set according to the situation of the store.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
In the present invention, after the shielding means is fully closed, the customer operates the opening means within a predetermined time even if the occupant sensor does not function sufficiently due to failure or improper installation. As long as this is done, the shielding means can be opened, and the customer can be prevented from being trapped.
