Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a shutter control system in an automated store that is safe and excellent in crime-preventability. CONSTITUTION:After the closing action start of a shutter 7, when an obstacle is detected by an obstacle detection sensor 9 within the closing deferment time, the shutter 7 is made to go up as long as the specified time and then it is lowered again, and when the obstacle is detected as many as the specified frequency, its descent is stopped and simultaneously a first alarm is outputted, and the shutter 7 is redescended. Here when the obstacle is detected, a descent of the shutter 7 is stopped while a second alarm is outputted, in contrast with this, when the obstacle is not detected, after the shutter 7 is closed, the first alarm is released. On the other hand, when a user is detected by a user detection sensor 10 within the closing deferment time, the shutter 7 is fully opened and then it is redescended. When the user is detected again, lifting motions are repeated, and if the shutter 7 is not closed after the elapse of closing deferment time, the descent of the shutter 7 is stopped while the second alarm is outputted.

Description

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 for opening and closing a store by opening and closing the shutter unmanned 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 lifts and opens the shutter at the opening time, and automatically closes the shutter after the closing operation set in the program at the closing time.

At this time, since the store is unmanned, the shutter closing operation requires control considering safety and crime prevention.

FIG. 6 shows a block diagram of a conventional shutter control system. In the figure, 21 indicates a shutter. Shutter 2
1 is provided at the entrance / exit 22 of the store, is connected to the motor 23 at the upper part, and moves up and down in the arrow A direction according to the rotation of the motor 23. The motor 23 is connected to the control unit 24,
The rotation is controlled according to the control signal from the control unit 24. The control unit 24 controls the motor 23 according to a preset schedule to control the opening and closing of the shutter 21, and is provided above the obstacle detection sensor 25 and the entrance 22 provided on the seat plate 21a of the shutter 21. Control is performed to safely close the shutter 21 in response to the detection of the obstacle 27 and the user 28 by the user detection sensor 26.

FIG. 7 shows an operation flowchart when the conventional shutter 21 is closed.

[0006] In the conventional shutter control system, at the closing time, the shutter is closed unconditionally without confirming that the shutter is unconditionally closed, instead of unconditionally closing the shutter.
Various preset operations were combined. For example, in FIG.
As shown in (A) or (B), when the obstacle detection sensor 25 provided on the seat plate 21a of the shutter 21 detects an obstacle 27 while the shutter 21 is descending, or a user detection sensor provided near the shutter. When the detection signal of 26 is received (steps S101, S102, S103, S10
4) After the shutter motor 23 is once stopped, the shutter motor 23 is 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.

Further, to close the shutter 21 normally,
It takes about 1 minute. Therefore, the shutter 2 is previously
Sufficient closing grace time (eg 3
Minutes), and if the closing operation is not completed within the closing delay time, an alarm is transmitted to a remote monitoring center or the like (steps S106, S107, S108).

[0008]

However, in the closing control of the conventional shutter control system, the same operation is performed when an obstacle is detected and when a person passing by is detected. For example, there is an obstacle. In this case, the shutter is repeatedly raised and lowered repeatedly, and if the closing delay time is extended, the motor that drives the shutter repeats the reversing operation, and the motor may be overloaded and heated and destroyed. To prevent damage to the motor, conversely, to prevent damage to the motor by shortening the closing grace period and stopping the operation of the motor, the closing grace period must be matched to the characteristics of the motor. There was a problem in safety because the time could not be set considering the evacuation of persons and obstacles.

Separately from this, the shutter 21 repeatedly rises and falls until the closing grace period 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 the shutter control is stopped unless the shutter is closed after the closing grace period ends, so that the alarm cannot be closed due to an obstacle placed on the shutter line, After the grace period for closing the store, the alarm staff became aware of the first abnormality by the alarm, and the shutter open state continued until the maintenance staff arrived, which was not desirable for crime prevention. Furthermore, even if there is a person coming in and out when the store is closed, since it just repeats short vertical movements like obstacles, there is a mental anxiety of users that they may be trapped inside the store. However, there is a problem that the safety of people who try to come in and out is also a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a shutter control system in an automated store which is safe and has good crime prevention.

[0012]

The present invention is connected to an automated store control device for controlling a sales function of a store at a preset date and time, and responds to an open / close store control signal supplied from the automated store control device. In a shutter control system in an automated store that controls opening and closing of shutters in a store, an obstacle detection sensor that detects an obstacle that obstructs the closing of the shutter, and use to detect a remnant in the store or a passerby near a doorway Person detection sensor, the automatic control device,
When the obstacle detection sensor and the user detection sensor are connected and a closing control signal is supplied from the automated store control device, the shutter is lowered and the preset closing delay time is measured to close the store. When the obstacle is detected by the obstacle detection sensor within the grace period, the shutter is stopped from descending, raised for a predetermined time and then lowered again, and the obstacle is detected by the obstacle detection sensor a predetermined number of times. When it is detected, the lowering of the shutter is stopped and a first alarm is output, the shutter is lowered again after the closing delay time has elapsed, and when the obstacle is detected by the obstacle detection sensor, the shutter is lowered. When the obstacle is not detected by the obstacle detection sensor while outputting the second alarm, After the shutter closing is completed, the first alarm is released, and when the user is detected by the user detection sensor within the closing grace period, the shutter is raised to the position at the time of opening and then lowered again. When the user is detected again by the user detection sensor, the shutter is repeatedly raised and lowered, and after the closing delay time has elapsed, the shutter is stopped from being lowered and a second alarm is output.

[0013]

According to the control means of the present invention, it is judged whether or not the user is present at the closing time, and if not, the shutter is lowered, and the obstacle detecting means provided on the seat plate of the shutter is operated. When the obstacle detection signal is input, the descent is stopped, the descent is performed for a predetermined time, and the descent is performed again. When the obstacle signal is received a predetermined number of times (three times, for example), the first alarm is output to the remote monitoring center and the shutter is raised for a predetermined time and then stopped. Then, it waits for a preset closing grace time from the closing time, and after the closing grace time has elapsed, the shutter is lowered again. If the obstacle is not detected and the shutter is closed, the first alarm is released, and if the obstacle is detected again, the second alarm is output, and the entire operation is stopped after rising for a predetermined time.

When a user is detected within the closing time, the shutter is raised to the upper end (fully opened), and the shutter is lowered again. When the user is detected and the shutter cannot be completely closed within the closing delay 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 for driving the shutter can be prevented.

Further, since the situation of the store can be grasped by the first alarm and the second alarm, the guard can promptly deal with the abnormality and the like.

Further, when the user is detected within the closing grace period, the shutter is fully opened, so that the user can safely exit the store without feeling anxious.

FIG. 4 shows an operation flowchart of the shutter control device 12, and FIG. 5 shows an operation explanatory diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

The automated store controller 13 having the time schedule function detects the residual person detection sensor 6 at the closing time.
The presence / absence of a residual person is determined based on the detection signal of a, and if it is determined that there is no residual person, a closing command signal is output to the shutter control device 12. When the shutter control device 12 receives the closing command signal (step S1), first, the passer-by detection sensor 1 determines whether or not there is a person in the passage (close to the automatic door) to the store.
0 is used to determine the entry / exit of the user (step S2),
When the passerby detection sensor 10 detects a user, the motor 8 is driven and the shutter 7 is started to descend after waiting until there are no users (step S3).

The shutter controller 12 controls the obstacle detection sensor 9 and the passerby detection sensor 10 when the shutter 7 descends.
Thus, the obstacle and the user are detected (steps S4 and S5). In step S4, as shown in FIG. 5A, there is an obstacle 15 on the shutter line, and when the obstacle detection sensor 9 provided on the seat plate 7a of the shutter 7 that has been lowered detects the obstacle, the movement is stopped. The motor 7 is reversed and raised for a predetermined time, and then the shutter 7 is stopped. Then, the shutter is lowered again. The shutter control device 12 counts the number of times an obstacle is detected (steps S5 and S6).
When an obstacle is detected three times, the first alarm is output to the automated store control device 13 when the obstacle detection signal for the third time is input, and then the shutter 7 is raised by the same operation as described above and stopped as it is. Stand by (steps S6, S8,
S9). Then, when the preset closing time has elapsed, the shutter 7 is lowered again (step S10,
S11). If the obstacle is removed at this time, the shutter is normally closed and the first alarm is released (restored).
Then, the operation is completed (steps S12 and S13). However, when the obstacle still exists, the automatic store controller 13 is stopped for a predetermined time when the obstacle detection signal is output,
Is output (steps S12 and S14).

When the automated store controller 13 receives the first alarm or the second alarm from the shutter controller 12,
This is transferred to the central monitoring center. At the centralized monitoring center, the state of the store is known according to the first alarm or the second alarm from the shutter control device 12. Further, in step S15, when the passenger 16 tries to pass through the automatic door 4 and the passerby detection sensor 10 detects a passerby while the shutter 7 is descending during the closing time as shown in FIG. 5B, The shutter control device 12 reverses the motor 8 to raise the shutter 7 until it is completely opened (fully opened), and is stopped as it is for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) (steps S15 and S1).
6) If it is within the closing delay time, the shutter 7 is started to descend again (step S17). If the shutter 7 is not normally closed when the closing grace time has elapsed, the shutter operation is stopped when the closing grace time has elapsed, and a second alarm is output to the automated store control device 13 (steps S17, S18, S21).

On the other hand, regardless of the closing time, the shutter 7 is fully opened and the second alarm is output when the emergency escape push button 11 provided in the store is operated. The shutter control device 12 stops the operation of the shutter 7 and outputs a second alarm if the shutter 7 is not completely closed even if neither the obstacle nor the user is detected after the grace period of closing the store (step S15, S19, S20, S2
1).

FIG. 6 shows an operation explanatory diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 (A) is an operation explanatory view of obstacle detection, and FIG. 6 (B) is an operation explanatory view of user detection. In FIG. 6, the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents the shutter opening.

First, the operation when an obstacle is detected will be described with reference to FIG. The shutter 7 descends and the obstacle 15
If is not detected, the shutter 7 descends as it is, and the entrance is closed. However, when the obstacle 15 is detected at time t ₁ , the predetermined amount L ₀ rises, and after the time T ₀ (5 seconds) is stopped, the shutter 7 descends again. Obstacle 1 again at time t ₂
5 is detected, the shutter 7 moves upward by a predetermined amount L _0, and the time T
_{0 After} stopping, descend again. Obstacle 1 again at time t ₃
When 5 is detected, the shutter 7 rises by a predetermined amount L ₀ and stops, and a first alarm I is output. In this way, when the obstacle 15 is detected three times within the closing time T ₁ , the operation of the shutter 7 is stopped after the obstacle 15 is detected the third time. This is to reduce the load on the motor 8 and prevent damage to the motor 8. At this time, the first alarm is output to notify the monitoring staff of the situation.

Next, at time t ₄ , when the closing delay time T ₁ ends, the shutter 7 is lowered again. When the obstacle 15 is detected again when the shutter 7 is lowered, the shutter 7 is again raised by a predetermined amount, stopped, and a second alarm is output. The second alarm is provided to the centralized monitoring center and requires the dispatch of an observer.

If the obstacle 15 is not detected when descending, the shutter 7 descends as it is, closing the entrance,
The first alarm output at time t ₃ is released.

As described above, if the shutter 7 normally descends after the grace period T ₁ for closing the shop and the entrance / exit can be closed by the shutter 7, the alarm is released and it is not necessary to dispatch the surveillance staff.

Next, an operation explanatory diagram at the time of user detection will be shown together with FIG. 6 (B).

If the shutter 7 descends and no user is detected, the shutter 7 descends as it is, closing the entrance. However, when the user is detected at the times t ₆ , t ₇ , and t ₈ , the shutter 7 moves up to the uppermost portion UL, stops for a predetermined time T ₀ , and then moves down again. If the shutter 7 does not descend to the lowermost FL within the closing grace time T ₁ , the closing grace time T
_The shutter 7 is stopped at the opening L ₁ of the shutter 7 at the end time t ₉ of ₁ and the second alarm is output.

As described above, in the embodiment, the passerby detection sensor provided near the automatic door is used as the user detection sensor for detecting the user when the shutter is closed, but the residual person detection sensor 6a provided in the store 1a is used. Even when it is used as a passenger detection sensor, the same operation as when a passerby detection sensor is used is performed.

[0039]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the shutter is lifted up and down a predetermined number of times within the closing delay time, the shutter operation is stopped and the first alarm is output.
As a result, it is possible to prevent the motor from being damaged without applying an unnecessary load to the motor that drives the shutter.

After the first alarm is output, when the grace period for closing the store elapses, the shutter is lowered again, but if the shutter is not closed at this time, the second alarm is output. With these two warnings, the situation of the store can be grasped in detail at an early stage, so that it is possible to quickly and appropriately respond to an abnormality or the like.

Further, when the user is detected when the shutter is closed, the shutter is fully opened, so that the user can safely go out of the store without feeling anxious about closing.

As described above, the shutter control system of the present invention has features such as improved security for users and shutters while improving crime prevention.
