Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shutter having a novel construction for preventing such a trouble that a slat is wound in the opposite direction.SOLUTION: The shutter employing a system to wind a slat 10 on a shaft 20 comprises: an action body 22 provided between the shaft 20 and the slat 10 for appearing when the slat 10 is wound off; and an abnormality detecting switch 50 having a first action part 51 on which the appearing action body acts. The action body 22 is provided between a predetermined position on the shaft 20 and a predetermined position on the slat so that it appears when the slat 10 is wound off until the shutter is fully closed. When the slat is further wound off than in the state that the shutter is fully closed, the action body 22 acts on the first action part 51 to actuate the abnormality detecting switch 50. This prevents the slat 10 from being wound in the opposite direction after the shutter is fully closed.

Description

  The present invention relates to a shutter that winds a slat around a shaft, and more particularly to a technique for preventing the slat from being caught in the reverse direction.

  In the electric shutter provided at the opening of the building, the slat wound around the shaft is unwound at any time, and the electric switch is automatically stopped by operating the limit switch with the slat fully closed It has been known.

  In such an electric shutter, when a situation occurs in which the limit switch does not operate normally due to a failure in the electrical system, the electric switch continues to be driven without stopping even when the slat is fully closed, There is a concern that the problem that the slat is wound in the opposite direction with respect to the shaft may occur.

  In addition, “reversing the slat in the reverse direction” means that when the normal unwinding direction is the forward direction, the slat is continuously unwound while the shutter is completely closed, so that the fixed portion of the shaft and the slat is A state in which the slat turns over at the border and is wound around the shaft in the opposite direction to the forward direction.

  Therefore, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is generally performed to provide a structure for emergency stop of the electric switch (see Patent Document 1). In Patent Document 1, a protrusion that stands by a spring is provided on the back surface of a slat (shutter slat), and when the electric switch continues to move even after the slat reaches a normal fully closed position, a switch ( A configuration is disclosed in which an actuator) is operated to make an emergency stop.

JP 2000-145337 A

  However, in the technique as disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the slat is wound, it is necessary to store the protrusions standing by the spring in the gap between the shaft and the slat.

  For this reason, depending on the shape of the slat, it may be difficult to attach the protrusion. For example, when the slat shape is a corrugated shape (wave type slat) or the like, there arises a problem that it is not possible to secure a gap for accommodating the protrusions in the shaft and the slat.

  Further, in order to store the protrusions in the shaft and the slats, there arises a problem that the mounting position of the protrusions with respect to the slats is limited. In addition, since the mounting position of the protrusion is limited, the setting of the timing for operating the switch is also limited, and it may be difficult to set the switch to operate immediately after the reverse winding is started.

  As another problem, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, an obstacle detection sensor other than the above-described switch is used as a countermeasure when the slat contacts an obstacle during the descent and the descent of the slat is restricted. It will be necessary to provide it.

  Therefore, in view of the above points, the present invention proposes a novel structure for preventing a problem that the slat is caught in the reverse direction.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is as described above. Next, means for solving the problem will be described.

That is, as described in claim 1,
A shutter that winds a slat around a shaft,
An action body that is interposed between the shaft and the slat and appears when the slat is unwound;
It is set as a shutter provided with the switch for abnormality detection which has the 1st action part on which the said action body which acted appears.

Moreover, as described in claim 2,
The actuating body is interposed between a predetermined position of the shaft and a predetermined position of the slat so as to appear when the slat is unwound until the shutter is fully closed,
When the slat is further unwound from the fully closed state of the shutter, the action body acts on the first action portion to operate the abnormality detection switch,
It is assumed that the slats are prevented from being caught in the reverse direction after the shutter is fully closed.

Moreover, as described in claim 3,
The first action part is
During the descent of the slat before the shutter is fully closed,
When the descent of the slat is restricted by contact with the obstacle,
It is configured to operate the abnormality detection switch in contact with a part of the slat,
It is assumed that the slats are prevented from being caught in the reverse direction before the shutter is fully closed.

Moreover, as described in claim 4,
The abnormality detection switch is
When the slat is wound further than the shutter is fully opened,
A configuration having a second action part for contacting the part of the slat to operate the abnormality detection switch,
It is assumed that excessive winding of the slat after the shutter is fully opened is prevented.

Moreover, as described in claim 5,
The abnormality detection switch is provided on an adjustment member capable of adjusting the position of the abnormality detection switch.

Moreover, as described in claim 6,
The abnormality detection switch is provided at a plurality of locations at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the shaft,
In a plurality of locations in the longitudinal direction of the shaft,
Suppose that the detection of the reverse slat winding and / or the excessive winding of the slat is detected.

  As effects of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

  That is, in the first aspect of the invention, it is possible to detect excessive unwinding of the shutter. Moreover, since it is not the structure which provides a projection body in the slat side like the prior art, the problem regarding the accommodation or attachment position of a projection body does not arise.

  Further, in the invention described in claim 2, it is possible to prevent the slats from being caught in the reverse direction, and the occurrence of problems such as damage to the slats and damage to the inside of the winding device can be prevented.

  In the invention according to claim 3, it is possible to prevent the slats from being caught in the reverse direction before the shutter is fully closed.

  In the invention according to claim 4, excessive winding of the slat after the shutter is fully opened can be prevented.

  In the invention according to claim 5, it is possible to set the “detection timing required” by adjusting the position of the abnormality detection switch, and it is possible to increase the degree of freedom of adjustment. .

  Further, in the invention described in claim 6, it is possible to detect an abnormality more reliably as compared with a case where an abnormality detection switch is provided at one place in the longitudinal direction to detect an abnormality. Such a configuration is, for example, a configuration in which the length of the shaft is long and it is difficult to detect the reverse winding on the other end side of the shaft only by providing an abnormality detection switch only on one end side of the shaft. In some cases, it is particularly effective.

(A) is a figure shown about embodiment which provides the group of an action body and a switch in the multiple places of the longitudinal direction of a shaft. (B) is a figure shown about embodiment which provides a long action body and a some switch in the longitudinal direction of a shaft.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the shutter 1 includes a single shutter curtain 11 formed by connecting a plurality of long slats 10 and a winding device 40 for winding and unwinding the shutter curtain 11. It is configured.

  The upper end of the shutter curtain 11 is connected to the shaft 20 of the winding device 40. The shaft 20 is rotationally driven in forward and reverse directions by the electric switch 30, and the slat 10 (shutter curtain 11) is unwound or taken up according to the rotation of the shaft 20. The shaft 20 is rotatably provided between the left and right brackets 60 and 61 fixed to the installation wall 4, and the electric switch 30 is supported on one bracket 61.

  Both ends of the shutter curtain 11 in the width direction are guided by guide rails 2 and 3 erected from the floor portion to the ceiling portion, and lateral displacement of each slat 10 constituting the shutter curtain 11 is regulated by the guide rails 2 and 3. . The shaft 20 and the slat 10 wound around the shaft 20 are accommodated in a case 42 (see FIG. 2).

  FIG. 3 is a side view showing the case where the shutter is fully closed and stopped in a normal state. In this case, when the shaft 20 is rotated by a specified number of rotations by a limit switch 31 provided in the electric switch 30, the lower end portion of the shutter curtain 11 is stopped on the floor portion and the opening portion is opened by the shutter curtain 11. Closed state.

  Then, below the shaft 20, for example, an abnormality that the limit switch 31 does not operate occurs, and an abnormality detection for detecting that the slat 10 is further unwound as compared with a state where the shutter is fully closed. Switch 50 is provided. The abnormality detection switch 50 is attached to a support member 56 fixed to a horizontal member 55 that is horizontally mounted on brackets 60 and 61 (see FIG. 1).

  As shown in FIG. 4, the abnormality detection switch 50 is provided with a first action portion 51 that is interposed between the shaft 20 and the slat 10 and on which the action body 22 that appears when the slat 10 is unwound. When the action body 22 acts on the first action portion 51, the abnormality detection switch 50 detects the abnormality, and this abnormality is output to the control device 70 or a control panel (not shown) provided separately. It is like that.

  In the present embodiment, the first action portion 51 of the abnormality detection switch 50 is configured by a lever-like switch formed by bending a wire-like metal member, and rotates with respect to the main body portion 53 of the abnormality detection switch 50. Configured to be possible. Moreover, the action body 22 is comprised by the sheet-like member which has flexibility, and the one end is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 20, and the other end is fixed to the back surface side of the slat 10, and it is shown in FIG. In addition, the first action part 51 is pressed to rotate the first action part 51 when being tensioned between the shaft 20 and the slat 10.

  Although the specific configuration of the action body 22 is not particularly limited, as shown in FIG. 4, the first action portion 51 of the abnormality detection switch 50 is reliably rotated, and the shaft 20 is at an arbitrary position. The other end is fixed at an arbitrary position of the slat 10 with respect to the shaft 20 and, as shown in FIG. It is accommodated so as to be wound, and does not affect the winding diameter (roll diameter) when the slat 10 is wound up, or has little influence (the thickness of the action body 22 is the normal winding state of the slat 10 It is preferable that the requirement that the thickness is not changed compared with the winding state is satisfied.

  As an embodiment of the action body 22, for example, it may be configured by a bendable resin sheet having a width of about 5 cm to 10 cm having a thickness of 1 mm or less, and according to this, after satisfying the above requirements It is possible to implement. Moreover, if the action body 22 can press the 1st action part 51, it will not be restricted to a sheet-like member, For example, a string-like member may be sufficient. Moreover, since the action body 22 acts on the 1st action part 51 after being tensioned, it needs to exhibit sufficient tensile strength which does not fracture | rupture when it is tensioned.

  Moreover, the form of fixing of the action body 22 to the shaft 20 or the slat 10 is not particularly limited, and adhesion by an adhesive, welding by applying heat to the action body 22, fixation using a fixing member, and the like are conceivable. . However, when a fixing member is used, it is desirable that the presence of the fixing member does not affect or hardly influence the winding diameter (roll diameter) when the slat 10 is wound.

  Further, by providing a margin in the lateral width of the acting body 22 (for example, having a lateral width of about 5 cm to 10 cm), even if a lateral displacement occurs in the slat 10 due to an earthquake or the like, the first acting portion It is possible to secure a margin of overlap of the action body 22 with respect to 51 in the lateral direction, and the trouble that the action body 22 provided in the slat 10 is displaced from a predetermined position and the abnormality detection switch 50 does not operate can be avoided.

  In addition, it is assumed that the action body 22 is bent between the slat 10 and the shaft 20 for a long period of time and is accommodated in a curved state along the surface of the shaft 20. By making the sheet, the action body 22 can be tensioned again. In an abnormal state, the action body 22 is surely tensioned between the shaft 20 and the slat 10 as shown in FIG. It becomes possible to act on the part 51 reliably. Moreover, since the other end of the action body 22 is fixed to the back surface of the slat 10, the action body 22 is surely appeared by being pulled by the slat 10 in an abnormal state, and acts reliably on the first action portion 51. It becomes possible to make it.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the action body 22 further unwinds the slat 10 from the normal state, and as shown in FIG. 4, the first action is performed at the “detection required timing” when the slat 10 is excessively unwound. It is interposed between the shaft 20 and the slat 10 so as to act on the portion 51. By adjusting the mounting position of the action body 22 with respect to the shaft 20 and the slat 10, the required “detection timing required” can be realized.

  The fixing position of one end of the action body 22 with respect to the shaft 20 can be selected over the entire surface of the shaft 20, that is, in the range of 360 degrees, and the fixing position of the other end of the action body 22 is arbitrary on the back surface of the slat 10. Therefore, it is possible to set the action body 22 to act on the first action portion 51 instantly when the “detection timing required” is reached.

  As a result, when the slat 10 is excessively unwound and a situation in which reverse staking can occur is detected, there is no time lag and an abnormality is detected instantaneously. At this time, the electric switch 30 is instantaneously stopped. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of problems such as the reverse winding of the slats 10 due to excessive unwinding, and consequently the damage of the slats 10 and the internal damage of the winding device 40 associated therewith.

  Temporarily, in the structure which fixes a projection body to the slat side in the above-mentioned prior art, since the attachment position of a projection body is limited, when it becomes "detection required timing", abnormality cannot be detected instantly. There may be a time lag. According to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent such a time lag from occurring.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the first action part 51 is configured to prevent the slat 10 from being lowered due to the contact of the slat 10 with the obstacle 5 during the descent of the slat 10 before the shutter is fully closed. The slat 10 is loosened, and the abnormality detection switch 50 is operated by contacting a part of the slat 10 to prevent the slat 10 from being caught in the reverse direction before the shutter is fully closed. ing.

  In FIG. 5, after the seat plate 12 provided on the slat 10 disposed at the lowermost part contacts the obstacle 5 and the subsequent descent of the slat 10 is restricted, the shaft 20 further rotates. Thus, a state in which the winding diameter (roll diameter) has been swollen by the surplus slat 10 that has been unwound in the case 42 that accommodates the shaft 20 and the slat 10 is shown.

  In such a state, when the slat 10 presses the first action portion 51 of the abnormality detection switch 50, abnormality detection is performed by the abnormality detection switch 50, and driving of the electric switch 30 is stopped. The That is, the abnormality of the slat 10 bulge (the bulge of the winding diameter (roll diameter)) is detected by the abnormality detection switch 50.

  Thus, when excessive unwinding of the slat 10 occurs in the case 42 that accommodates the shaft 20 and the slat 10, first, the rotation of the shaft 20 can be stopped by detecting the swelling of the slat 10. As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a reverse winding of the slat 10 due to the shaft 20 continuing to rotate.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the abnormality detection switch 50 according to the present embodiment is in contact with a part of the slat 10 when the slat 10 is wound further than when the shutter is fully opened. The second action portion 52 for actuating the switch 50 is used to prevent excessive winding of the slat 10 after the shutter is fully opened.

  FIG. 6 shows a state in which, for example, an abnormality that the limit switch 31 (FIG. 3) does not operate occurs and the winding is still continued after the shutter is fully opened, and a seat provided at the lower portion of the slat 10 is shown. It is shown that the plate 12 (a part of the slat 10) has risen to an abnormal position beyond the normal set position.

  In such a situation, when the seat plate 12 pushes up the second action portion 52, the abnormality detection switch 50 detects the abnormality.

  As a result, the rotation of the shaft 20 (see FIG. 5) can be stopped, and the slat 10 is caught in the reverse direction as the shaft 20 continues to rotate, and eventually the slat 10 is damaged or the winding device 40 is wound. The occurrence of problems such as internal damage (see FIG. 5) can be prevented.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the first action part 51 and the second action part 52 are configured to be interlocked, and an abnormality can be detected by operating one of the action parts. ing.

  Thus, in the abnormality detection switch 50, by providing one switch, both abnormality detection during unwinding and abnormality detection during winding can be realized. It is possible to reduce the production cost and realize a space-saving installation space.

  As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the abnormality detection switch 50 may be provided on the adjustment members 57 and 58 capable of adjusting the position of the abnormality detection switch 50. In the present embodiment, an adjustment member 57 connected to the horizontal member 55 and an adjustment member 58 connected to the adjustment member 57 and on which the abnormality detection switch 50 is placed are configured. The connection position of the adjustment member 57 with respect to the horizontal member 55 and the connection position of the adjustment members 57 and 58 are configured to be changeable, respectively, so that the relative position of the abnormality detection switch 50 to the shaft 20 is shown in FIG. A) Adjustment is possible as in (B).

  According to this, in the setting of the “detection required timing” described above, the necessary “detection required timing” is realized by adjusting the mounting position of the action body 22 with respect to the shaft 20 and the slat 10. Also, by adjusting the position of the abnormality detection switch 50, it is possible to set the “detection timing required”, and it is possible to increase the degree of freedom of adjustment.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the shutter is of a type that winds the slat 10 around the shaft 20, and is interposed between the shaft 20 and the slat 10, and appears when the slat 10 is unwound. 22 and an abnormality detection switch 50 having a first action part 51 on which the appearing action body 22 acts.

  With this configuration, it is possible to detect excessive unwinding of the shutter. Moreover, since it is not the structure which provides a projection body in the slat side like the prior art, the problem regarding the accommodation or attachment position of a projection body does not arise.

  In addition, although the structure which provides the extra length slat and operates the switch for abnormality detection with the slat wound in the reverse direction is also considered, since it is necessary to provide an extra slat in this case, it requires cost. Become. According to the present invention, since only the working body is provided without providing the extra length of slats, the manufacturing cost can be kept low, and the weight of the entire shutter can be reduced. .

  Further, the action body 22 is interposed between a predetermined position of the shaft 20 and a predetermined position of the slat 10 so as to appear when the slat 10 is unwound until the shutter is fully closed. When the slat 10 is further unwound from the fully closed state, the action body 22 acts on the first action portion 51 to operate the abnormality detection switch 50, and the shutter is fully closed. The slat 10 is prevented from being caught in the reverse direction later.

  With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the slat 10 from being caught in the reverse direction, and the occurrence of problems such as damage to the slat 10 and damage to the inside of the winding device 40 can be prevented.

  Further, FIG. 8 is a view showing an embodiment of a shutter including a pipe-type slat 10A. Even in the case of such a pipe-type slat 10A, one end of the action body 22 is fixed to the shaft 20 side, It is possible to implement the present invention by fixing the other end of the action body 22 directly to the pipe-type slat 10A or by fixing it via another member. In addition, when fixing the other end of the action body 22 to the pipe-type slat 10A via another member, the presence of the other member does not affect the winding diameter (roll diameter) when the slat 10 is wound up. Or, it is desirable to have little influence.

  Similarly, FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a shutter including a wave type slat 10B. Even in the case of such a wave type slat 10B, one end of the action body 22 is fixed to the shaft 20 side. The present invention can be implemented by directly connecting the other end of the action body 22 to the corrugated slat 10B.

  Thus, according to the present invention, the present invention can be applied to any form of slat without selecting the form of the slat. The present invention is also applicable to a `` sheet shutter '' in which the shutter curtain is configured with a flexible sheet, in addition to the shutter curtain configured by connecting the slats as described above. When excessive winding, excessive unwinding and accompanying reverse winding occur, the sheet is damaged due to excessive stress applied to the sheet, or the excessive portion of the excessively unwound sheet It is possible to prevent the occurrence of problems such as damage due to contact with a part.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the abnormality detection switch 50 is provided at a plurality of locations at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the shaft 20, and at the plurality of locations in the longitudinal direction of the shaft 20, It is configured to detect reverse winding and / or to detect excessive slat winding.

  FIG. 10A shows an example in which the action bodies 22A are attached to a plurality of locations of the shaft 20 at intervals, and the abnormality detection switch 50 is arranged at a position where each action body 22 is acted. For example, each operating body 22 individually acts on each abnormality detection switch 50, and abnormality detection is performed.

  In FIG. 10 (B), a single acting body 22B having a wide width is provided on the shaft 20, and the abnormality detection is performed by operating each abnormality detecting switch 50 with the single acting body 22.

  As described above, abnormality detection is performed at a plurality of positions in the longitudinal direction of the shaft 20, so that the abnormality detection switch 50 is provided at one position in the longitudinal direction of the shaft 20 to detect the abnormality more reliably. It is possible to detect abnormalities. In such a configuration, for example, when the shaft 20 is long and only the abnormality detection switch 50 is provided only on one end side of the shaft 20, the reverse winding on the other end side of the shaft 20 is detected. This is particularly effective when the configuration is difficult to perform.

  Further, in addition to the situation described in the above embodiment, for example, in a situation where the brake of the electric switch is released and the slat is lowered by its own weight in the event of a disaster, the reverse direction due to the rotational inertia of the shaft when the slat is fully closed A use form is also conceivable in which an abnormality detection switch detects that the winding diameter has bulged due to entrainment or contact with an obstacle.

  In the above embodiment, an electric shutter is used. However, an unintended slat entrainment in the reverse direction occurs when an operating body and an abnormality detection switch are provided in a manual shutter without an electric switch. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which an abnormality is detected in the event of a failure.

  The present invention can be widely applied as a technique for detecting the reverse entrainment of a shutter slat.
