　特許文献１に開示される電動カーテンでは、手引き操作を停止し所定の停止一定時間を経過後に、モーターの駆動により最後に手引き操作した方向へ継続してカーテンを動作させる構成となっている。このため、手引き操作に引き続きモーターの駆動によるカーテンの開閉が外部力の停止一定時間を経過後に行われることとなり、スムーズな開閉動作が行われず、操作者に対して違和感を生じさせることとなる。 The electric curtain disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a configuration in which the curtain is continuously operated in the direction of the last manual operation by driving the motor after a predetermined stop time has elapsed after the manual operation is stopped. For this reason, the curtain is opened and closed by driving the motor after the hand-drawing operation after a certain period of time when the external force is stopped, so that the smooth opening and closing operation is not performed and the operator feels uncomfortable.
　また、特許文献１の技法によれば、手引き操作による当該回転出力軸の回転の有無及びその回転方向のみを判別し、モーターを駆動する駆動信号を出力していない状態で回転検出器のスリット板が回転している状態の検知、並びに、外部力の停止の検知を行うように構成している。このため、カーテンを操作者によってゆっくり開閉動作させたときや素早く開閉動作させたときなど、手引き操作による開閉動作速度に違いがあるにも関わらず、外部力の停止一定時間の経過を基準にモーターの駆動によるカーテンの開閉を行うこととなり、操作者が意図しないモーター駆動によるカーテンの開閉動作が行われうる。 Further, according to the technique of Patent Document 1, it is determined whether or not the rotation output shaft is rotated by a hand-drawn operation and only the rotation direction thereof, and the slit plate of the rotation detector is in a state where a drive signal for driving the motor is not output. It is comprised so that the detection of the state which is rotating and the stop of an external force may be detected. For this reason, even when the curtain is slowly opened and closed by the operator, or when it is quickly opened and closed, the motor is based on the passage of a certain period of stoppage of external force, despite the difference in the opening and closing speed due to the manual operation. The curtain is opened and closed by driving, and the curtain opening and closing operation by the motor drive unintended by the operator can be performed.

　次に、図４を参照して、制御装置３６における制御部３６６の一例を説明する。図４は、本発明による一実施形態の制御装置３６における制御部３６６の一例を示すブロック図である。 Next, an example of the control unit 366 in the control device 36 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the control unit 366 in the control device 36 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
　制御部３６６は、回転方向監視部３６６１、回転方向検出部３６６２、回転速度監視部３６６３、クラッチ接続制御部３６６４、及び駆動制御部３６６５を備える。ここで、操作者による手引き操作が為されていない状態（待機状態）からモーター駆動によるカーテンの開閉動作状態（通常動作状態）へと移行する際の制御を主に説明する。 The control unit 366 includes a rotation direction monitoring unit 3661, a rotation direction detection unit 3662, a rotation speed monitoring unit 3663, a clutch connection control unit 3664, and a drive control unit 3665. Here, the control at the time of shifting from a state in which no manual operation is performed by the operator (standby state) to a curtain opening / closing operation state (normal operation state) driven by a motor will be mainly described.
　回転方向監視部３６６１は、回転検出信号入力部３６５からのパルス信号により、カーテンの手引き操作による開閉操作に応じて回転する回転出力軸４２の回転の有無を監視し、回転出力軸４２の回転が有る際に、そのパルス信号を回転方向検出部３６６２に送出する。 The rotation direction monitoring unit 3661 monitors the presence / absence of rotation of the rotation output shaft 42 that rotates according to the opening / closing operation by the curtain hand-drawn operation based on the pulse signal from the rotation detection signal input unit 365, and the rotation of the rotation output shaft 42 is detected. When there is, the pulse signal is sent to the rotation direction detection unit 3661.
　回転方向検出部３６６２は、回転方向監視部３６６１を介して得られる回転出力軸４２の回転に関するパルス信号から回転出力軸４２の回転方向を求め、この回転方向を駆動制御部３６６５に通知するとともに、回転速度監視部３６６３に対して回転出力軸４２の回転に関するパルス信号を送出する。 The rotation direction detection unit 3662 obtains the rotation direction of the rotation output shaft 42 from the pulse signal relating to the rotation of the rotation output shaft 42 obtained through the rotation direction monitoring unit 3661, notifies the drive control unit 3665 of the rotation direction, and A pulse signal related to the rotation of the rotation output shaft 42 is sent to the rotation speed monitoring unit 3663.
　回転速度監視部３６６３は、回転出力軸４２の回転に関するパルス信号から回転出力軸４２の回転速度（即ち、手引き速度に対応する回転速度）を監視し、設定される所定の目標回転速度（即ち、手引き速度と比較する目標速度）との比較を行い、回転出力軸４２の回転速度が当該目標回転速度より高い状態から目標回転速度以下となる際に（即ち、手引き速度が目標速度より高い状態から目標速度以下となる際に）、クラッチ接続制御部３６６４に対し、その旨を通知する。尚、手引き速度と目標速度の比較の際には、ジッタ の影響を考慮した判定を行うようにする。手引き速度が動き始めから目標速度以下で維持しているときは、手引き動作が維持される。ここで、目標速度とは、例えば、通常の電動カーテンのモーター駆動で目標としている速度とすることができる。 The rotation speed monitoring unit 3663 monitors the rotation speed of the rotation output shaft 42 (that is, the rotation speed corresponding to the guide speed) from the pulse signal related to the rotation of the rotation output shaft 42, and sets a predetermined target rotation speed (that is, the rotation speed). When the rotation speed of the rotation output shaft 42 is lower than the target rotation speed from the state where the rotation output shaft 42 is higher than the target rotation speed (that is, from the state where the hand pulling speed is higher than the target speed). When the speed is equal to or lower than the target speed), the clutch connection control unit 3664 is notified of this. It should be noted that when comparing the guide speed and the target speed, a determination is made in consideration of the influence of jitter. When the guide speed is maintained below the target speed from the start of movement, the guide action is maintained. Here, the target speed can be, for example, a target speed by motor driving of a normal electric curtain.
　クラッチ接続制御部３６６４は、回転出力軸４２の回転速度が当該目標回転速度以下となる旨の通知（即ち、手引き速度が目標速度以下となる旨の通知）に従って、回転出力軸４２とモーター３５の回転軸の接続を行うようクラッチ駆動制御部３６４に対して制御指示を出力するとともに、駆動制御部３６６５にも通知する。 The clutch connection control unit 3664 sends the rotation output shaft 42 and the motor 35 in accordance with a notification that the rotation speed of the rotation output shaft 42 is equal to or lower than the target rotation speed (that is, a notification that the hand-drawing speed is lower than the target speed). A control instruction is output to the clutch drive control unit 364 so as to connect the rotary shaft, and the drive control unit 3665 is also notified.
　駆動制御部３６６５は、回転出力軸４２とモーター３５の回転軸が切り離されている状態で回転方向検出部３６６２から回転出力軸４２の回転方向の通知を受け付けた際に、モーター駆動制御部３６３に対してカーテンの開閉に係る所定の初期駆動速度に対応する回転出力軸４２の初期回転速度で当該回転方向に回転駆動するよう制御指示を出力するとともに、クラッチ接続制御部３６６４から回転出力軸４２とモーター３５の回転軸の接続が為された旨の通知を受け付けた際に、モーター駆動制御部３６３に対して当該カーテンの通常動作状態として予め定められた駆動速度に対応する回転速度で当該回転方向に回転駆動するよう制御指示を出力する。 When the drive control unit 3665 receives a notification of the rotation direction of the rotation output shaft 42 from the rotation direction detection unit 3662 in a state where the rotation output shaft 42 and the rotation shaft of the motor 35 are separated from each other, the drive control unit 3665 notifies the motor drive control unit 363. On the other hand, a control instruction is output so that the rotation output shaft 42 is driven to rotate in the rotation direction at an initial rotation speed corresponding to a predetermined initial drive speed related to opening and closing of the curtain, and the rotation output shaft 42 When the notification that the rotation axis of the motor 35 is connected is received, the rotation direction at the rotation speed corresponding to the drive speed determined in advance as the normal operation state of the curtain to the motor drive control unit 363. A control instruction is output so as to be rotated.
　尚、モーター駆動制御部３６３は、初期駆動速度から当該カーテンの通常動作状態として予め定められた駆動速度となるまでスローアップするようにモーター３５を駆動するのが好適である。 Note that the motor drive control unit 363 preferably drives the motor 35 so as to slow up from the initial drive speed to a predetermined drive speed as a normal operation state of the curtain.
　ここで、モーター駆動によるカーテンの開閉動作状態（通常動作状態）から操作者による手引き操作が為されていない状態（待機状態）へと移行する際の制御については、以下のような動作を行う。 Here, the following operations are performed for the control when shifting from the opening / closing operation state (normal operation state) of the curtain driven by the motor to the state where the operator does not perform the manual operation (standby state).
　まず、回転方向監視部３６６１は、回転出力軸４２の回転に関するパルス信号をカウントし、先頭ランナー３がカーテンレール１上のいずれの位置にいるのか把握するように構成することができる。先頭ランナー３がカーテンレール１上のいずれの位置にいるのかについて、随時（例えば、装置設置時に、或いは定期的に）、キャリブレーション （較正）を行うことで、パルス信号のカウント値によりカーテンレール１上の先頭ランナー３の位置を把握し、駆動制御部３６６５に通知するように構成することができる。 First, the rotation direction monitoring unit 3661 can be configured to count a pulse signal related to the rotation of the rotation output shaft 42 and grasp which position on the curtain rail 1 the leading runner 3 is on. The position of the top runner 3 on the curtain rail 1 is determined at any time (for example, when the apparatus is installed or periodically) by performing calibration (calibration), so that the curtain rail 1 can be determined according to the count value of the pulse signal. The position of the top runner 3 can be grasped and notified to the drive control unit 3665.
　更に、モーター駆動制御部３６３には、モーター３５を強制的に停止するための過負荷状態を検知する機能を設け、過負荷状態の際には、モーター３５を強制的に停止するとともに、制御部３６ ６の駆動制御部３６６５に通知するように構成することができる。例えば、モーター３５を定電圧駆動によるフィードバック制御で動作させると、先頭ランナー３の位置がカーテンレール１上の端部に到着したときや、操作者により強制的にカーテンの移動の停止（即ち、回転出力軸４２の回転の停止）が行われたとき、過負荷状態を示すモーター駆動電流が流れる。したがって、モーター駆動電流を検出し監視することで、過負荷状態を検知することができる。 Further, the motor drive control unit 363 is provided with a function of detecting an overload state for forcibly stopping the motor 35. In the overload state, the motor 35 is forcibly stopped and the control unit It can be configured to notify the drive controller 3665 of 36 6. For example, when the motor 35 is operated by feedback control by constant voltage drive, when the position of the leading runner 3 arrives at the end on the curtain rail 1 or when the movement of the curtain is forcibly stopped by the operator (ie, rotation) When the rotation of the output shaft 42 is stopped), a motor drive current indicating an overload state flows. Therefore, an overload state can be detected by detecting and monitoring the motor drive current.
　したがって、駆動制御部３６６５は、モーター３５を駆動中に、先頭ランナー３の位置がカーテンレール１上の端部付近に移動したとき、或いはモーター３５を強制的に停止するための過負荷状態の旨の通知を受けたときに、モーター３５の回転を停止させ、同時に、電磁クラッチ３４における接続を開放するようモーター駆動制御部３６３及びクラッチ駆動制御部３６４に制御指示するように構成することができる。或いはまた、駆動制御部３６６５は、回転方向監視部３６６１からスリット板３３の回転の停止（即ち、回転出力軸４２の回転の停止）の通知を受け付けるように構成し、回転出力軸４２の回転の停止の際にモーター３５の回転を停止させ、同時に、電磁クラッチ３４における接続を開放するようモーター駆動制御部３６３及びクラッチ駆動制御部３６４に制御指示するように構成することができる。 Therefore, the drive control unit 3665 indicates an overload state for forcibly stopping the motor 35 when the position of the leading runner 3 moves near the end on the curtain rail 1 while driving the motor 35. When the notification is received, the rotation of the motor 35 can be stopped, and at the same time, the motor drive control unit 363 and the clutch drive control unit 364 can be instructed to release the connection in the electromagnetic clutch 34. Alternatively, the drive control unit 3665 is configured to receive a notification of the rotation stop of the slit plate 33 (that is, the rotation stop of the rotation output shaft 42) from the rotation direction monitoring unit 3661, and the rotation output shaft 42 is rotated. It can be configured to stop the rotation of the motor 35 at the time of the stop and simultaneously instruct the motor drive control unit 363 and the clutch drive control unit 364 to release the connection in the electromagnetic clutch 34.
　尚、本例の制御部３６６の機能をコンピュータで構成させることができる。当該コンピュータに、制御部３６６の機能を実現させるためのプログラムは、当該コンピュータの内部又は外部に備えられるメモリに記憶される。コンピュータに備えられる中央演算処理装置（ＣＰＵ）などの制御で、制御部３６６の機能を実現するための処理内容が記述されたプログラムを、適宜、メモリから読み込んで、制御部３６６の機能に相当する処理をコンピュータに実現させることができる。尚、図４を参照して例示した制御部３６６の機能の一部をハードウェアで実現し、その他の部分をコンピュータで構成させることもできる。 In addition, the function of the control unit 366 of this example can be configured by a computer. A program for causing the computer to realize the function of the control unit 366 is stored in a memory provided inside or outside the computer. A program in which processing contents for realizing the function of the control unit 366 are controlled by control of a central processing unit (CPU) provided in the computer is appropriately read from the memory, and corresponds to the function of the control unit 366. Processing can be realized by a computer. Note that a part of the function of the control unit 366 illustrated with reference to FIG. 4 can be realized by hardware, and the other part can be configured by a computer.
　以下、図５を参照して、制御部３６６の機能をコンピュータで構成させる際の処理例を説明する。図５は、本発明による一実施形態の制御装置３６における制御部３６６の動作例を示すフローチャートである。ここで、操作者による手引き操作が為されていない状態（待機状態）からモーター駆動によるカーテンの開閉動作状態（通常動作状態）へと移行する際の制御を主に説明する。 Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 5, an example of processing when the function of the control unit 366 is configured by a computer will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation example of the control unit 366 in the control device 36 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Here, the control at the time of shifting from a state in which no manual operation is performed by the operator (standby state) to a curtain opening / closing operation state (normal operation state) driven by a motor will be mainly described.
（制御部の動作）
　制御部３６６は、操作者による手引き操作が為されていない状態（待機状態）にある際（ステップＳ１）、回転検出信号入力部３６５からのパルス信号により、カーテンの手引き操作による開閉操作に応じて回転する回転出力軸４２の回転の有無を監視する（ステップＳ２）。これにより、手引き操作の検出が可能となる。 (Operation of control unit)
The control unit 366 is in response to the opening / closing operation by the curtain hand-drawing operation by the pulse signal from the rotation detection signal input unit 365 when the hand-drawing operation by the operator is not performed (standby state) (step S1). The presence or absence of rotation of the rotating output shaft 42 is monitored (step S2). Thereby, it is possible to detect the guidance operation.
　回転出力軸４２の回転が無い場合（ステップＳ２：Ｎｏ）、制御部３６６は、回転出力軸４２の回転が有るまで監視し、手引き操作の有る際、即ち回転出力軸４２とモーター３５の回転軸が切り離されている状態で回転出力軸４２の回転が有る際に（ステップＳ２：Ｙｅｓ）、手引き方向（即ち、回転出力軸４２の回転方向に対応する）を算出する（ステップＳ３）。 When there is no rotation of the rotation output shaft 42 (step S2: No), the control unit 366 monitors until the rotation output shaft 42 is rotated, and when there is a manual operation, that is, the rotation shaft of the rotation output shaft 42 and the motor 35. When the rotation output shaft 42 is rotated in a state in which is disconnected (step S2: Yes), a guidance direction (that is, corresponding to the rotation direction of the rotation output shaft 42) is calculated (step S3).
　続いて、制御部３６６は、当該手引き方向に対応する回転出力軸４２の回転方向に、モーター駆動制御部３６３に対してカーテンの開閉に係る所定の初期駆動速度に対応する回転出力軸４２の初期回転速度で回転駆動するよう制御し、これによりモーター３５の回転が開始する（ステップＳ４）。 Subsequently, the control unit 366 initializes the rotation output shaft 42 corresponding to a predetermined initial drive speed related to opening / closing of the curtain with respect to the motor drive control unit 363 in the rotation direction of the rotation output shaft 42 corresponding to the guide direction. The motor 35 is controlled to rotate at the rotation speed, and thereby the rotation of the motor 35 is started (step S4).
　更に、制御部３６６は、手引き速度、即ち回転出力軸４２とモーター３５の回転軸が切り離されている状態で回転出力軸４２の回転速度を算出する（ステップＳ５）。 Furthermore, the control unit 366 calculates the hand speed, that is, the rotation speed of the rotation output shaft 42 in a state where the rotation output shaft 42 and the rotation shaft of the motor 35 are separated (step S5).
　続いて、制御部３６６は、手引き速度が当該目標速度より高い状態から当該目標速度以下となるか否か、即ち回転出力軸４２の回転速度が当該目標回転速度より高い状態から目標回転速度以下となるか否かを監視し（ステップＳ６）、手引き速度が当該目標速度より高い状態で維持する場合（ステップＳ６：Ｙｅｓ）、手引き速度が当該目標速度以下となるまで監視を続ける。一方、手引き速度が当該目標速度以下となる場合（ステップＳ６：Ｎｏ）、制御部３６６は、回転出力軸４２とモーター３５の回転軸の接続を行うようクラッチ駆動制御部３６４に対して制御指示を出力する（ステップＳ７）。 Subsequently, the control unit 366 determines whether or not the handdrawing speed is higher than the target speed from the target speed, that is, whether the rotational speed of the rotation output shaft 42 is higher than the target rotational speed and lower than the target rotational speed. Whether or not (step S6), and when the guidance speed is maintained higher than the target speed (step S6: Yes), the monitoring is continued until the guidance speed becomes equal to or lower than the target speed. On the other hand, when the guide speed is equal to or lower than the target speed (step S6: No), the control unit 366 instructs the clutch drive control unit 364 to connect the rotation output shaft 42 and the rotation shaft of the motor 35. Output (step S7).
　この電磁クラッチ３４の接続後、制御部３６６は、モーター駆動制御部３６３に対して当該カーテンの通常動作状態として予め定められた駆動速度に対応する回転速度で当該回転方向に回転駆動するよう制御指示を出力する（ステップＳ８）。 After the electromagnetic clutch 34 is connected, the control unit 366 instructs the motor drive control unit 363 to rotationally drive in the rotational direction at a rotational speed corresponding to a predetermined drive speed as a normal operation state of the curtain. Is output (step S8).
　最終的に、制御部３６６は、前述したように、モーター３５を駆動中に、先頭ランナー３の位置がカーテンレール１上の端部付近に移動したとき、又はモーター３５を強制的に停止するための過負荷状態の旨の通知を受けたとき、或いはスリット板３３の回転の停止（即ち、回転出力軸４２の回転の停止）を検知したとき、モーター３５の回転を停止させ、同時に、電磁クラッチ３４における接続を開放するようモーター駆動制御部３６３及びクラッチ駆動制御部３６４に制御指示する（ステップＳ９）。 Finally, as described above, the controller 366 forcibly stops the motor 35 when the position of the leading runner 3 moves near the end on the curtain rail 1 while the motor 35 is being driven. When the notification of the overload state is received or when the stop of the rotation of the slit plate 33 (that is, the stop of the rotation of the rotation output shaft 42) is detected, the rotation of the motor 35 is stopped and at the same time the electromagnetic clutch The motor drive control unit 363 and the clutch drive control unit 364 are instructed to release the connection at 34 (step S9).
　以上のように、本実施形態の制御装置３６及びそのプログラムによれば、操作者に対して違和感を生じさせることなく、操作者の手引き速度を考慮する速度制御でスムーズなカーテンの開閉を可能とする電動カーテンを実現することができる。 As described above, according to the control device 36 and its program of the present embodiment, it is possible to smoothly open and close the curtain by speed control that takes into account the handing speed of the operator without causing the operator to feel uncomfortable. An electric curtain can be realized.
　更に、本実施形態の制御装置３６及びそのプログラムによる電動カーテンであれば、モーター駆動によるカーテンの開閉動作状態（通常動作状態）において、手引き方向及び手引き速度に応じてモーター３５の回転方向及び回転速度を制御するため、操作者に適した所望の駆動速度でカーテンの開閉を動作させることが可能である。 Furthermore, in the case of the electric curtain according to the control device 36 and its program of the present embodiment, the rotation direction and rotation speed of the motor 35 in accordance with the drawing direction and the drawing speed in the curtain opening / closing operation state (normal operation state) driven by the motor. Therefore, the curtain can be opened and closed at a desired driving speed suitable for the operator.
　更に、本実施形態の制御装置３６及びそのプログラムによる電動カーテンであれば、待機状態では回転出力軸４２とモーター３５の回転軸は電磁クラッチ３４により切り離されており、これにより手引き操作によるカーテンの開閉が行うことができる。即ち、操作者が手引き操作を行うと、制御装置３６は、回転検出器（光センサー３１、センサー基板３２及びスリット板３３）からの信号を基にその回転開始と回転方向を検出し、モーター３５の回転を手引き方向に対応する回転方向に開始するが、この時点ではまだ電磁クラッチ３４により回転出力軸４２とモーター３５の回転軸は開放されているため、手引き操作には何ら影響しない。 Furthermore, in the case of the electric curtain according to the control device 36 and its program of the present embodiment, the rotating output shaft 42 and the rotating shaft of the motor 35 are separated by the electromagnetic clutch 34 in the standby state, thereby opening and closing the curtain by hand-drawing operation. Can be done. That is, when the operator performs a hand-drawing operation, the control device 36 detects the rotation start and the rotation direction based on the signals from the rotation detector (the optical sensor 31, the sensor substrate 32, and the slit plate 33), and the motor 35 However, since the rotation output shaft 42 and the rotation shaft of the motor 35 are still opened by the electromagnetic clutch 34 at this time, there is no influence on the hand-drawing operation.
　更に、本実施形態の制御装置３６及びそのプログラムによる電動カーテンであれば、回転検出器（光センサー３１、センサー基板３２及びスリット板３３）からの信号を基に算出した手引き速度と、設定可能な目標速度（例えば、通常の電動カーテンのモーター駆動で目標としている速度）を比較して、手引き速度の方が速い場合には手引き速度の監視を続け、操作者が目標速度より速い速度で引き続ける間はこの状態が続くことから、操作者が意図する動作を妨げない。 Furthermore, if it is the electric curtain by the control apparatus 36 of this embodiment and its program, the guide speed calculated based on the signal from a rotation detector (the optical sensor 31, the sensor board | substrate 32, and the slit board 33) and the setting are possible. Compare the target speed (for example, the target speed by the motor drive of a normal electric curtain). If the guide speed is faster, continue monitoring the guide speed, and the operator will continue to pull at a speed faster than the target speed. Since this state continues for a while, the operation intended by the operator is not hindered.
　更に、本実施形態の制御装置３６及びそのプログラムによる電動カーテンであれば、操作者が手引き操作後に、手を放すなどで手引き速度が落ち、手引き速度が目標速度と同じか遅くなったとき、電磁クラッチ３４により回転出力軸４２とモーター３５の回転軸を接続することから、手引き速度から目標速度への速度制御が、スムーズに行われるようになる。尚、通常動作状態の駆動速度は、必ずしも当該カーテンの通常動作状態へと移行する目標速度と一致させる必要はなく、この目標速度は、待機状態から通常動作状態へ移行する閾値として用いればよいが、よりスムーズ な速度制御を実現するために、この駆動速度を当該カーテンの通常動作状態へと移行する目標速度と一致させるのが好適である。 Furthermore, in the case of the electric curtain according to the control device 36 and its program of the present embodiment, when the operator pulls the hand after the hand-drawing operation, the hand-drawing speed decreases and the hand-drawing speed becomes equal to or lower than the target speed. Since the rotation output shaft 42 and the rotation shaft of the motor 35 are connected by the clutch 34, the speed control from the guide speed to the target speed can be performed smoothly. Note that the driving speed in the normal operation state does not necessarily match the target speed at which the curtain moves to the normal operation state, and the target speed may be used as a threshold value for shifting from the standby state to the normal operation state. In order to realize smoother speed control, it is preferable to match this driving speed with the target speed at which the curtain moves to the normal operation state.
　更に、本実施形態の制御装置３６及びそのプログラムによる電動カーテンであれば、特許文献１の技法のような外部力の停止一定時間の経過を基準にモーター駆動を行うわけではなく、目標速度の設定に伴い、操作者の手引き操作に応じて変化し得る手引き速度を適切に検知して、操作者が意図する範疇で手引き速度を考慮した速度制御を実現することができる。 Furthermore, in the case of the electric curtain according to the control device 36 and its program of the present embodiment, the motor driving is not performed based on the lapse of a fixed time of the external force as in the technique of Patent Document 1, but the target speed is set. Accordingly, it is possible to appropriately detect the guide speed that can change in accordance with the operator's guide operation, and to realize speed control in consideration of the guide speed in the category intended by the operator.
　以上、特定の実施形態の例を挙げて本発明を説明したが、本発明は前述の実施形態の例に限定されるものではなく、その技術思想を逸脱しない範囲で種々変形可能である。例えば、上述の実施形態では、片開き型の電動カーテンを例に説明したが、両開き型の電動カーテンなど他の用途にも適用することができる。 As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to examples of specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the examples of the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the technical idea thereof. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a single opening type electric curtain has been described as an example, but the present invention can be applied to other uses such as a double opening type electric curtain.
　また、制御装置３６における制御部３６６の動作に関して、前述の実施形態の例では、手引き速度と単一の目標速度とを比較してモーター３５による速度制御を実現する例を説明したが、例えば、目標速度を別個に定め、手引き速度が第１の目標速度より高い状態から第２の目標速度以下（第１の目標速度＞第２の目標速度）となるか否かで、モーター３５による速度制御を実現するように構成することができる。例えば、第１の目標速度以下でカーテンを操作者によって手引き動作の開始から開閉動作させているときには操作者による手引きを優先し、手引き速度が第１の目標速度より高い状態から第２の目標速度以下（第１の目標速度＞第２の目標速度）となるときにモーター３５による速度制御を行うように構成することができる。これにより、手引き速度の検知時に大きなジッタが生じた場合でも、このジッタの影響を緩和させ、より安定化した駆動制御が可能となる。 In addition, regarding the operation of the control unit 366 in the control device 36, the example of the above-described embodiment has described the example in which the speed control by the motor 35 is realized by comparing the guide speed and the single target speed. The target speed is determined separately, and the speed control by the motor 35 is performed depending on whether or not the guide speed is higher than the first target speed and lower than the second target speed (first target speed> second target speed). Can be configured to be realized. For example, when the curtain is opened and closed by the operator from the start of the hand-drawing operation at a speed equal to or lower than the first target speed, priority is given to the hand-drawn by the operator, and the second target speed from the state where the hand-drawing speed is higher than the first target speed. In the following (first target speed> second target speed), the motor 35 can be configured to perform speed control. As a result, even when a large jitter occurs at the time of detecting the hand-drawing speed, the influence of this jitter can be alleviated and more stable drive control can be performed.
　また、制御装置３６は、有線設定信号入力部３６１又は遠隔設定信号入力部３６２を介して、制御部３６６に対してカーテンの開方向と閉方向とで異なる目標速度を設定するよう構成することができる。これにより、用途に応じて操作者の利便性を高めることができる。 Further, the control device 36 may be configured to set different target speeds for the opening direction and the closing direction of the curtain to the control unit 366 via the wired setting signal input unit 361 or the remote setting signal input unit 362. it can. Thereby, the convenience for the operator can be improved according to the application.
　また、制御装置３６は、制御部３６６により、モーター３５を駆動中に、先頭ランナー３の位置がカーテンレール１上の端部付近に移動したとき、通常動作状態（例えば、目標速度の駆動状態）からモーター３５の駆動を停止させるにあたり、スローダウンで停止するよう制御する構成とすることができる。これにより、手引き操作からモーター駆動による動作へとスムーズに引き継がれ停止するまでの一連の動作に、動的な美観を生じさせることも可能となる。 Further, when the position of the leading runner 3 moves near the end on the curtain rail 1 while the motor 35 is being driven by the control unit 366, the control device 36 is in a normal operation state (for example, a target speed driving state). Therefore, when the driving of the motor 35 is stopped, the motor 35 can be controlled to stop at a slowdown. As a result, a dynamic aesthetic appearance can be generated in a series of operations from a hand-drawing operation to a motor-driven operation that is smoothly taken over and stopped.
　本発明によれば、操作者の手引き速度を考慮する速度制御でスムーズなカーテンの開閉が可能となるので、電動カーテンなどの用途に有用である。 According to the present invention, it is possible to smoothly open and close the curtain by speed control in consideration of the operator's guidance speed, which is useful for applications such as an electric curtain.
