Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to control a plurality of blinds with a plurality of controllers by controlling any motor-driven blind among a plurality of motor driven blinds with any remote controller among a plurality of remote controllers separately, or controlling all blinds at a time. CONSTITUTION:When a main switch of a remote controller 1A is pushed, power is supplied to controllers 1A and 1B. After that, when an operating blind selection button of the controller 1A is pushed, a light emitting diode of the selection button turns on, and a blind 23 corresponding to the number of the selection button is selected as an operation object. While, when a selection button of the controller 1B is pushed, it causes operation fault by a priority circuit. Then, height or angle of the blind is set by the controller 1A, and when a slat rising and falling button or a slat angle converting button is pushed, the selected blind 23 is operated and is stopped in a set position.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for controlling the movements of a plurality of electric blinds, which are adapted to perform vertical movement of a slat and conversion of an angle by an electric motor, by a plurality of remote controllers, and a method for such control. It relates to a suitable control device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The applicant of the present invention has previously developed an electric blind in which a slat is vertically moved by an electric motor and the angle of the slat is independently converted by a single motor, and the slat is stopped at a desired position. We applied for a patent (see Japanese Patent Application No. 63-101407). Other electric blinds are disclosed, for example, in JP-A-63-167880, JP-A-63-167885, and JP-A-63-1.
There is one as shown in Japanese Patent No. 67889. Then, he developed and applied for a patent for a control device capable of centrally controlling these electric blinds.

[0003]

According to the above application, it has become possible to control a plurality of electric blinds.
For example, when a blind is used for partitioning a room, it is convenient if each room to be partitioned by the blind has a remote controller.

Further, if the blinds are opened and closed by the remote controller and then immediately adjusted from another room, it is inconvenient because the adjustment needs to be performed again.

[0005]

In view of the above, a method for controlling a plurality of electric blinds according to the present invention is provided with a plurality of electric blinds for vertical movement and / or angle conversion of a slat by an electric motor. When controlling the operation with a remote controller, it is possible to control the operation of any electric blind individually or simultaneously with all electric blinds by any controller, and at the same time, simultaneously operate any electric blinds. When a plurality of blinds are used for partitioning a room or the like, it is possible to control an arbitrary blind from each room to be partitioned.

Further, the electric blind control device according to the present invention is a control in which a plurality of electric blinds for vertically moving a slat and / or converting an angle by an electric motor are installed and the operation is controlled by a plurality of remote controllers. In the device, while using one controller, the other controller has a priority circuit that does not operate, and the other controller has a dedicated timer circuit that does not operate until a certain time elapses after using the controller. It is designed so that other controllers cannot control the operation of the blinds during use or until a certain period of time elapses after use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of a plurality of electric blind control methods and electric blind control devices according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The control circuit is stored in.

Reference numeral 3 is a main switch, 4 is a blind height setting dial, and 5 is a slat angle setting dial.
6 is a slat lifting button, 7 is a slat angle changing button, and 8 is a stop button. Reference numeral 9 is an all blind selection button, and 10 is a clear button for releasing the memory. Numerals 11 to 19 are operation blind selection buttons, and numeral 20 is a light emitting diode that indicates that the selection has been made. Reference numeral 21 is a display light emitting diode of the main switch, and 22 is a display light emitting diode of the all blind selection button.

Although the illustrated example shows an example in which a maximum of 9 blinds can be controlled, the number of blinds to be controlled is not limited to these 9.

And while the other controller is operating,
The controller has a priority circuit that does not operate, and a dedicated timer circuit that prevents the controller from operating until a certain time has elapsed after the operation of another controller.

A remote controller 1 having such a structure is provided with a blind 2 as shown in FIG. 2, for example.
Connect 2 to 3. One remote controller is 1A and the other remote controller is 1B.

[0012]

[Operation] Then, the remote controllers 1A and 1
When the main switch 3 of B is turned off, the main switch 3 of one of the remote controllers 1 is pressed to supply power to the control circuit through the blind body. For example, the main switch of the remote controller 1A is pushed. Then, the light emitting diode 21 of the remote controller 1A lights up in green, indicating that power is being supplied, and the remote controller 1A
The light emitting diode 21 of B also lights up in green, indicating that power is supplied to the remote controller 1B.

In this state, the remote controller 1
It can be controlled by either A or 1B. And the operation blind selection button of the remote controller 1A,
For example, when the selection buttons 11, 15, and 19 are pressed, the respective light emitting diodes 20 are lit, and it is displayed that the blind 23 corresponding to the number is selected as the operation target.

When the light emitting diode 20 of the remote controller 1A lights up, the light emitting diode 2 is pressed even if the operation blind selection button is pressed on the remote controller 1B.
0 does not light up, and the priority circuit disables the number input of the remote controller 1B and renders it inoperable. When the light emitting diode 20 of the remote controller 1A lights up, the height and angle of the blind are set, and the slat elevating button 6 and the slat angle converting button 7 are pressed to operate the selected blind 23 and set the position. Stop at.

At the same time when the operation of the blind 23 is started, the exclusive timer is activated. When the exclusive timer operates, the light emitting diode 21 of the remote controller 1A
Remains green, but the light emitting diode 21 of the remote controller 1B changes to red. That is, if the light emitting diode 21 for indicating the power source changes from green to red, it means that the data is exclusively used by another remote controller, and the data on this side cannot be input.

When the timer elapses for a predetermined time, the light emitting diode 21 of the remote controller 1B becomes green again and starts receiving data.

When the main switch 3 of the remote controller 1A is pressed after the adjustment is completed, the light emitting diode 21 of the remote controller 1A is turned off and
The light emitting diode 21 of the remote controller 1B is also turned off.

The control circuit shown in this embodiment is an embodiment, and a plurality of remote controllers control the operation of a plurality of electric blinds individually and all the electric blinds at the same time. Needless to say, any configuration may be adopted as long as it is possible to control the operation of a plurality of arbitrary electric blinds at the same time by the operator's selection.

The dedicated timer circuit and the priority circuit may be any circuits as long as they have such a function, and the set time of the dedicated timer may be adjusted appropriately according to the place of use. Further, the blind used can be applied to any blind as long as the slats can be adjusted in angle and the height of the slats (position of the slats in the case of a vertical blind) can be separately controlled by an electric motor.

[0020]

As described above, according to the method of controlling a plurality of electric blinds according to the present invention, a plurality of electric blinds for vertically moving the slat and / or converting the angle by an electric motor are installed. However, when controlling the operation with multiple remote controllers, it is possible to control the operation of any electric blind individually or simultaneously with all the electric blinds by any controller, Since the blinds can be operated and controlled at the same time, multiple blinds can be controlled by multiple remote controllers, so the blinds can be easily adjusted, especially when going to other rooms for adjustment. It is convenient not to do it.

In addition, according to the electric blind control device of the present invention, a plurality of electric blinds for vertically moving the slat and / or converting the angle by an electric motor are installed and a plurality of remote controllers are used. In a control device that controls operation, while using one controller, the other controller does not operate, and the other controller does not operate until a certain time has elapsed after using that controller, so it has a circuit. , When using one controller, and after using one controller, the blinds cannot be adjusted by other controllers until a certain period of time elapses. There is no such thing as being done.
