[0019] In order to make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the following specifically enumerates preferred embodiments and, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, makes a detailed description as follows. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required to be used in the embodiments. It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of the present application and should not be regarded as limiting the scope.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part rather than all of the embodiments of this application. Components of the embodiments of this application described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, every other embodiment obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts falls within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] First, the applicable application scenarios of this application will be introduced. This application can be applied to the field of cruise ship technology.

[0026] Through research, it is found that the space on large cruise ships is usually very limited. As an important service facility, the layout and area of the medical center need to be carefully planned. Traditional sliding doors often require a certain amount of space to install tracks and driving devices, which poses a significant challenge to the space-constrained medical center. If the door design is unreasonable, it may affect the arrangement of other medical equipment and the passage of passengers.

[0027] Moreover, in the medical center, protecting the privacy of passengers is of utmost importance. Traditional sliding doors may generate noise during the opening and closing process, or when the door is closing, external personnel may not be aware that the bathroom is in use and may accidentally open the door, thus affecting the privacy rights of passengers. Especially in a private space such as a bathroom, the need for privacy protection is even more urgent.

[0028] Based on this, the embodiments of this application provide a method and system for controlling a cruise ship door lock, including: in response to the first switch being triggered, detecting the door lock state of the ADA bathroom corresponding to the first switch, where the ADA bathroom is located between two guest rooms and is connected to the corresponding guest room through an inductive sliding door; if the door lock state of the ADA bathroom is in the closed state, controlling the door lock of the ADA bathroom to open, so that the inductive sliding door corresponding to the first switch opens; disabling all switches of the inductive sliding door on the other side of the ADA bathroom, and controlling each control panel corresponding to the inductive sliding door outside the ADA bathroom to display a first identifier, where the first identifier is used to indicate that the ADA bathroom is in use. Through this application, once it is detected that the door lock of the ADA bathroom is opened, all switches of the inductive sliding door on the other side of the bathroom will be immediately disabled to prevent other guests from misoperating or interfering, ensuring the privacy and safety of disabled persons using the ADA bathroom.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 ,Figure 1 One of the flowcharts of the cruise ship door lock control method provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the cruise ship door lock control method provided by the embodiments of the present application includes:

[0030] S101. In response to the first switch being triggered, detect the door lock status of the ADA bathroom corresponding to the first switch.

[0031] The ADA bathroom is set between two guest rooms and is connected to the corresponding guest room through an inductive sliding door.

[0032] Here, the first switch can be a physical button or a virtual button on the touch screen, and is installed in the guest room near the ADA bathroom. When the switch is pressed or touched, the door lock controller of the ADA bathroom will send a switch trigger signal to the interlock board controller. The interlock board controller is connected to the door lock controller of the ADA bathroom wirelessly or wiredly.

[0033] Door lock status detection: The door lock controller should be equipped with sensors that can detect the status of the door lock (locked or unlocked) in real time. These sensors can be magnetic, mechanical, or electronic, depending on the type of door lock. Once receiving the signal triggered by the switch, the interlock board controller will immediately query the status of the door lock corresponding to the signal.

[0034] S102. If the door lock status of the ADA bathroom is in the closed state, control the door lock of the ADA bathroom to open, so that the inductive sliding door corresponding to the first switch opens.

[0035] If the door lock is in the closed state, the interlock board controller will send an unlocking instruction to the door lock controller, and the door lock will perform the unlocking operation after receiving the instruction.

[0036] Simultaneously with or after the door lock is unlocked, the interlock board controller will also send a signal to the motor or driver controlling the inductive sliding door to start and open the sliding door. This process may take a few seconds, and during this period, the user can be prompted by lights or sounds that the door is opening.

[0037] If the door lock is in the closed state, no processing will be performed, and wait for the disabled person to enter the ADA bathroom and then trigger the switch.

[0038] S103. Disable all switches of the inductive sliding door on the other side of the ADA bathroom, and control each control panel corresponding to the inductive sliding door outside the ADA bathroom to display the first identifier.

[0039] The first identifier is used to indicate that the ADA bathroom is in use.

[0040] Here, to prevent others from entering the bathroom from the other side, the interlock panel controller will send an instruction to disable all switches on the other side, ensuring that the switches on the other side cannot be activated during the period when the bathroom is occupied.

[0041] On the control panel outside each inductive sliding door, there will be a display screen or LED indicator to show the current usage status of the bathroom. When the bathroom is occupied, the display screen will show "Bathroom Occupied" or similar text information, and the LED indicator may light up red or other prominent colors.

[0042] As described above, when the first switch is triggered, the door lock status of the ADA bathroom is automatically detected. If the door lock is in the closed state, the door lock is controlled to open, and the corresponding inductive sliding door is opened accordingly, facilitating disabled persons to enter the ADA bathroom smoothly. This automated process reduces the operation steps for disabled persons and improves the convenience of use; once the door lock of the ADA bathroom is opened, all switches of the inductive sliding door on the other side of the bathroom will be immediately disabled to prevent other guests from misoperating or interfering. This design ensures the privacy and safety of the guests using the bathroom; it will also control the corresponding control panel outside each inductive sliding door of the ADA bathroom to display the first identifier (such as "Occupied" or "In Use" etc. prompts), clearly informing other guests that the bathroom is currently unavailable. This helps to avoid guests wasting time waiting due to not knowing the bathroom status and improves the overall usage efficiency.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the ADA bathroom includes a first inductive sliding door and a second inductive sliding door. The first inductive sliding door corresponds to a first switch, a second switch, and a first control panel. The first switch is arranged outside the ADA bathroom and around the first inductive sliding door. The second switch is arranged inside the ADA bathroom and around the first inductive sliding door. The first control panel is arranged around the first switch. The second inductive sliding door corresponds to a third switch, a fourth switch, and a second control panel. The third switch is arranged outside the ADA bathroom and around the second inductive sliding door. The fourth switch is arranged inside the ADA bathroom and around the second inductive sliding door. The second control panel is arranged around the third switch.

[0044] Here, the ADA bathroom is configured as follows:

[0045] The first inductive sliding door: corresponds to the first switch, the second switch, and the first control panel.

[0046] The first switch is located outside the ADA bathroom, near the first inductive sliding door, facilitating external personnel to operate; the second switch is located inside the ADA bathroom, also near the first inductive sliding door, for internal personnel to use; the first control panel is arranged near the first switch, used to display the bathroom status or provide other control functions.

[0047] The second inductive sliding door: corresponds to the third switch, the fourth switch and the second control panel.

[0048] The third switch is located outside the ADA bathroom, close to the second inductive sliding door; the fourth switch is located inside the ADA bathroom, close to the second inductive sliding door; the second control panel is set near the third switch and has similar functions to the first control panel.

[0049] When an outsider needs to enter the ADA bathroom, he can press the first switch. The system will detect the door lock status, and if the door lock is closed, the first inductive sliding door will be unlocked and opened. At the same time, the related switches (third switch and fourth switch) of the second inductive sliding door will be disabled, and the second control panel will display the status of the bathroom being occupied.

[0050] When the person in the ADA toilet is ready to leave the ADA toilet, the second switch can be pressed, which will trigger the door lock to open and open the first inductive sliding door. After leaving the ADA toilet, the first switch can be pressed again, which will trigger the door lock to lock and close the first inductive sliding door. At the same time, the third switch and the fourth switch will be reactivated, and the second control panel will display the toilet idle status.

[0051] The first control panel and the second control panel are used to display the current occupancy status of the ADA toilet, as well as other information (such as maintenance reminders, fault warnings, etc.). The control panel can also provide a user feedback mechanism, allowing users to evaluate their usage experience or report problems.

[0052] Safety and privacy during ADA restroom use is ensured by disabling the opposite-side switch and indicating occupancy status. If the door lock or inductive sliding door fails, an error message or alarm can be detected and displayed.

[0053] An interlocking plate is arranged between the two inductive sliding doors of the ADA bathroom, and the first switch, the second switch, the first control panel, the third switch, the fourth switch and the second control panel are all connected to the interlocking plate.

[0054] Here, the interlock plate is a safety device installed between two inductive sliding doors to ensure that the two doors are not opened at the same time at any time, thereby preventing accidents, such as preventing people or objects from being caught between the two doors. It controls and monitors the entire toilet entry and exit process through connection with various switches and control panels.

[0055] The first switch and the third switch (external switches): These two switches are respectively located outside the ADA bathroom, near their respective inductive sliding doors. When an external person presses the switch, the signal is first sent to the interlock board. The interlock board checks the status of the other door (whether it is closed and locked). If the conditions are met, the current door is allowed to open.

[0056] The second switch and the fourth switch (internal switches): These two switches are located inside the bathroom, near their respective inductive sliding doors. When an internal person is about to leave and presses the switch, a signal is also sent to the interlock board. The interlock board checks the status of the external door (whether it can be safely opened, that is, whether there is no one waiting to enter outside the door), and then performs the corresponding door locking and door control operations.

[0057] The first control panel and the second control panel: These two control panels are respectively located outside the two inductive sliding doors, used to display the current status of the bathroom (such as occupied, idle) and other information (such as maintenance prompts, fault warnings). The control panel is connected to the interlock board and can receive and display the status information sent from the interlock board in real time. In addition, some buttons or touch areas on the control panel may also be used to send instructions to the interlock board to trigger specific operations (such as emergency unlocking).

[0058] Exemplarily, the interlocking type inductive sliding doors in the ADA area of the cruise ship are installed on both sides of the bathroom, that is, one bathroom serves two rooms at the same time, making reasonable use of space and reducing the floor area; when a disabled person enters one side, the inductive sliding doors on both sides are closed, and the rest of the people cannot enter. At this time, the indicator light turns red to protect the privacy of passengers.

[0059] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is the second flowchart of the cruise ship door lock control method provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2 the cruise ship door lock control method provided by the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0060] S201. In response to the second switch being triggered, detect the door lock status of the ADA bathroom corresponding to the second switch;

[0061] When the second switch located inside the ADA bathroom is triggered (such as pressed or touched), the system immediately sends a signal to the interlock board controller. The interlock board controller is connected to the door lock controller by wire or wirelessly and queries the current status of the door lock (open or closed) in real time.

[0062] S202. Determine whether the door lock status of the ADA bathroom corresponding to the second switch is in the open state;

[0063] S203. If the door lock status of the ADA toilet is in the open state, control the door lock of the ADA toilet to close, so that the inductive sliding door corresponding to the first switch closes;

[0064] If the door lock is in the open state, which usually means the toilet is in use but may be about to be left, the interlock panel controller will send a closing instruction to the door lock controller, and the door lock will perform the closing operation after receiving the instruction.

[0065] Simultaneously with or after the door lock closes, the interlock panel controller will also send a signal to the motor or driver controlling the inductive sliding door to start and close the sliding door. To ensure safety, the door closing process should be slow and smooth to avoid pinching the user.

[0066] S204. If the door lock status of the ADA toilet is in the closed state, control the door lock of the ADA toilet to open, so that the inductive sliding door corresponding to the first switch opens for the disabled to leave the ADA toilet;

[0067] If the door lock is already in the closed state when triggered internally, it indicates an instruction for the disabled person inside the ADA toilet to leave, and the operations of opening the door lock and the inductive sliding door are performed.

[0068] To ensure that the disabled can leave smoothly, the opening speed of the inductive sliding door should be appropriate, and the door body should be wide enough to facilitate the passage of auxiliary devices such as wheelchairs.

[0069] S205. When it is detected that the first switch is triggered again and the door lock status of the ADA toilet is in the open state, close the door lock corresponding to the first switch;

[0070] When an external person presses the first switch to try to enter the toilet, if the door lock is already in the open state (possibly caused by an internal person just leaving), the door lock should be closed first to ensure that new users can enter safely. Then, open or maintain the state of the inductive sliding door as needed.

[0071] To avoid pinching or misoperation, a short time delay should be set between closing the door lock and closing the inductive sliding door to ensure that all personnel have safely left the doorway.

[0072] S206. Control all door locks of the ADA toilet to be in an available state, and control the control panel corresponding to each inductive sliding door outside the ADA toilet to display a second identifier, which is used to indicate that the ADA toilet is idle and available for use.

[0073] Once it is confirmed that the toilet is in an idle state and all doors are correctly closed and locked, set all door locks to the available state so that other users can use them.

[0074] At the same time, the corresponding control panel outside each inductive sliding door will update the display status, switching from occupied status (first indicator) to idle status (second indicator), indicating that the bathroom is now available.

[0075] To improve the user experience, the signs on the control panel should be easy to understand and eye-catching, such as using graphic symbols or clear text instructions. In addition, sound prompts or light signals can be provided to help users understand the current status of the toilet.

[0076] Through these steps, ADA bathrooms fully consider the needs of user experience, safety, and accessibility.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, the interlocking plate performs the following processing:

[0078] Upon receiving an instruction that the first switch is triggered, indicating that a disabled person enters the ADA restroom through the first inductive sliding door, disabling the third switch and the fourth switch;

[0079] When the first switch located outside the ADA toilet is triggered (e.g., pressed), it indicates that a disabled person intends to enter the toilet through the first inductive sliding door. After receiving this instruction, the interlocking plate immediately disables the third switch around the second inductive sliding door located outside the toilet and the fourth switch located inside the toilet. This is to prevent a passage from being formed between the two doors, thereby avoiding potential safety hazards.

[0080] At the same time, the interlock board checks the status of the first inductive sliding door and whether the door lock is in an openable state. If everything is normal, the interlock board sends a signal to control the door lock to unlock, and then controls the inductive sliding door to slowly open to allow the disabled person to enter.

[0081] After receiving the instruction that the second switch is triggered twice and the first switch is triggered again, it means that a disabled person leaves the ADA bathroom through the first inductive sliding door, the first inductive sliding door is controlled to close, and the third switch and the fourth switch are released.

[0082] Here, when the second switch located on the inside of the toilet is triggered twice (this can be used as a confirmation mechanism to prevent misoperation), the interlock plate will record this action, but no action will be performed immediately at this time because it is also necessary to confirm that the disabled person has indeed left and passed through the first inductive sliding door.

[0083] Subsequently, when the first switch located outside the bathroom is triggered again (this usually happens when the disabled person leaves the bathroom and presses the switch to close the door), the interlock plate will confirm that the disabled person has passed through the first inductive sliding door and is ready to leave. At this time, the interlock plate will send a signal to control the first inductive sliding door to slowly close and ensure that the door lock is relocked.

[0084] Once the door is completely closed and locked, the interlock plate releases the previously disabled state of the third switch and the fourth switch, making them available again, so that other disabled persons or users can normally use the second inductive sliding door to enter or leave the restroom.

[0085] In this step, by requiring the second switch to be triggered twice as a departure confirmation mechanism, the door can be opened or closed by mistake due to misoperation to reduce the possibility of accidental opening or closing of the door; the opening and closing process of the inductive sliding door should be smooth and slow to ensure the safety of the disabled and avoid pinching or collision; the interlock plate is connected to the control panel so that the current door status (such as open, closed, locked, etc.) can be displayed on the control panel, and any necessary warning or error information can be provided.

[0086] Specifically, the interlock board is connected to each switch and control panel of the ADA bathroom through an input port and an output port. Each input port is used to obtain the status of each switch of the ADA bathroom and the status of the inductive sliding door corresponding to the switch, and transmit the acquired status to the interlock board. Each output port is used to receive a signal from the interlock board to control the opening, closing, locking of the switch connected to the output port and the identification of the control panel.

[0087] In an optional embodiment, each input port is connected to a switch of the ADA toilet to obtain the current state of the switch (such as pressed, not pressed) in real time. These switches may include external entry switches, internal exit switches, emergency unlock switches, etc.

[0088] In addition to the switch status, the input port is also responsible for obtaining the status information of the inductive sliding door associated with the switch, such as whether the door is open or closed, whether the door lock is locked, etc. This is usually achieved through the door lock sensor; once the input port obtains the status information of the switch or door, this information will be immediately transmitted to the interlock board for processing. The interlock board will analyze and judge this status information according to the preset logical rules.

[0089] In another alternative embodiment, each output port is connected to an interlock board for receiving control signals from the interlock board, and these signals may include opening / closing instructions for door locks, opening / closing instructions for inductive sliding doors, update instructions for control panel identification, etc.; according to the received signals, the output port will control the switches and door locks connected thereto to perform corresponding operations. For example, if the interlock board sends a signal to open the door lock, the door lock controller connected to the output port will perform the opening operation.

[0090] The output port can also control the information displayed on the control panel, such as the current status (occupied, vacant) of the toilet, any warning or error messages. This helps to provide clear and accurate status feedback to the user.

[0091] To ensure effective communication between the input port and the output port, there is a communication protocol, which can be a wired (such as RS-485, CAN bus) or wireless (such as Zigbee, Bluetooth) communication protocol, specifically depending on the design and installation requirements of the system, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0092] During the communication process, a unified data format is defined to transmit status information and control signals. This can include the definition of status codes, the format of control instructions, etc., to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information.

[0093] The cruise ship door lock control method and system provided by the embodiments of the present application, in response to the first switch being triggered, detect the door lock status of the ADA toilet corresponding to the first switch. The ADA toilet is arranged between two guest rooms and is connected to the corresponding guest room through an inductive sliding door; if the door lock status of the ADA toilet is in the closed state, control the door lock of the ADA toilet to open, so that the inductive sliding door corresponding to the first switch opens; disable all switches of the inductive sliding door on the other side of the ADA toilet, and control each control panel corresponding to the outside of the inductive sliding door of the ADA toilet to display a first identifier, and the first identifier is used to indicate that the ADA toilet is in use and cannot be used. Through the present application, once it is detected that the door lock of the ADA toilet is opened, all switches of the inductive sliding door on the other side of the toilet will be immediately disabled to prevent other guests from misoperating or interfering, ensuring the privacy and safety of disabled persons using the ADA toilet.

[0094] The present application takes into account the situation that passengers in the medical center of a large cruise ship may have physical disabilities, and it is inconvenient to use traditional doors (traditional sliding doors) to enter and exit the toilet. Also, considering the protection of passenger privacy and the actual floor area of the medical center, the present application can fully combine the specific situation of the medical center, use appropriate methods to fit the linkage between passengers and relevant needs, and can achieve the convenience for passengers to enter and exit the toilet, reduce the floor area, and protect the privacy of passengers.

[0095] The embodiment of the present application also provides a cruise ship door lock control system, which is applied to the ADA area of ​​the cruise ship, and the system includes an interlock board controller and a door lock controller, and the interlock board controller and the door lock controller are communicatively connected, wherein the door lock controller is used to send a switch trigger signal to the interlock board controller;
