[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a control system. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, as one of the technologies for locking a door body of a door device installed at an opening of a building, a system (technology) has been disclosed which includes an electric lock installed on the door body, which locks the door body, and a numeric keypad or card reader installed in a position near the door body, which accepts operations to lock and unlock the electric lock (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-293983 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In recent years, there has been an increasing need to apply the above-mentioned conventional system to waterproof doors. In the above-mentioned conventional system, as described above, the electric lock and the keypad or card reader are provided on the door body and in the vicinity thereof, so that, for example, when the area around the opening is flooded, the electric lock may be submerged in water and cause electricity to leak from the electric lock, making it difficult to ensure safety around the opening. Therefore, there is room for improvement in terms of ensuring safety around the opening.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the problems in the conventional technology described above, and has an object to provide a control system that makes it possible to ensure safety around an opening. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the objective, the control system described in claim 1 is a control system for controlling a locking system equipped with a locking means for electrically locking an opening / closing body that opens and closes an opening of a building, and is equipped with a detection means for detecting the water level around the locking means, and a cut-off means for cutting off the power supply to at least the locking means based on the detection result of the detection means.

[0007] The control system of claim 2 is the control system of claim 1, wherein the locking system comprises the locking means, a locking operation means for receiving operation instructions related to the locking means, and a locking control means for controlling the state of the locking means based on the operation instructions received via the locking operation means, and the cutting means cuts off the power supply to the locking means, the locking operation means and / or the locking control means, in addition to the locking means, based on the detection result of the detection means.

[0008] The control system described in claim 3 is the control system described in claim 1 or 2, wherein the cut-off means cuts off the power supply to the detection means at least after a predetermined time has elapsed since the power supply to the locking means was cut off.

[0009] The control system according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the control system according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the detection means is provided in the vicinity of the locking means.

[0010] The control system described in claim 5 is the control system described in any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the detection means is provided at a position lower than the locking means.

[0011] The control system described in claim 6 is a control system for controlling the locking system described in any one of claims 1 to 5, which has a plurality of locking means for locking a plurality of the opening / closing bodies, and includes at least one or more detection means for detecting the peripheral water level of at least one of the plurality of locking means, and when the peripheral water level detected by any of the at least one or more detection means reaches a reference water level, the cut-off means cuts off the power supply to the locking means among the plurality of locking means that is located at a height position near the reference water level. Effect of the Invention

[0012] According to the control system of claim 1, since it is provided with a detection means for detecting the water level around the locking means and a cut-off means for cutting off the power supply to at least the locking means based on the detection result of the detection means, it is possible to cut off the power supply to at least the locking means according to the water level situation around the locking means. Therefore, it is possible to prevent electricity from leaking from at least the locking means and ensure the safety around the opening.

[0013] According to the control system described in claim 2, the cut-off means cuts off the power supply to the locking operation means and / or locking control means in addition to the locking means based on the detection result of the detection means. Therefore, the power supply to the locking operation means and / or locking control means in addition to the locking means can be cut off depending on the water level condition around the locking means, and electricity leakage from the locking means, the locking operation means, and / or the locking control means can be avoided.

[0014] According to the control system described in claim 3, the cut-off means cuts off the power supply to the detection means a predetermined time after the power supply to at least the locking means is cut off, so that the power supply to the detection means can be cut off at least after the power supply to the locking means is cut off, and it is possible to avoid electricity leakage from the detection means while maintaining the function of the detection means for a necessary period of time.

[0015] According to the control system of claim 4, since the detection means is provided in the vicinity of the locking means, the water level around the locking means can be detected accurately, and the detection accuracy of the water level can be improved.

[0016] According to the control system described in claim 5, since the detection means is provided at a position lower than the locking means, it becomes easier to set the reference water level of the detection means at a position lower than the locking means, and therefore it becomes easier to cut off the power supply to the locking means before the locking means is submerged in water.

[0017] According to the control system described in claim 6, when the water level detected by at least one of the detection means reaches the reference water level, the cut-off means cuts off the power supply to the locking means, among the multiple locking means, that is located at a height position near the reference water level.Therefore, the power supply to all of the locking means, among the multiple locking means included in the locking system, that are located at a height position near the reference water level can be effectively cut off, and electricity leakage from all of the locking means can be avoided.

The embodiment generally relates to a control system for controlling a locking system that includes a locking means for electrically locking an opening / closing body that opens and closes an opening of a building.

[0021] Here, the specific structure and type of the "building" are arbitrary, but the concept includes, for example, public facilities, commercial facilities, detached houses, and collective housing such as apartments and condominiums.

[0022] Moreover, an "opening" is an opening formed in a part of the framework of a building (for example, a wall material, a floor material, a ceiling material, etc.) for the purpose of installing an entrance / exit or a window.

[0023] Moreover, the term "opening / closing body" is a concept that includes an opening / closing body for door devices (for example, swing doors, sliding doors, folding doors, etc.) and an opening / closing body for window devices. Furthermore, the opening / closing direction of an opening / closing device equipped with this opening / closing body includes, for example, the up-down direction, the left-right direction, the front-rear direction, etc. Furthermore, the driving method of the opening / closing device is arbitrary, and includes, for example, a "manual opening / closing device", an "electric opening / closing device", etc.

[0024] Furthermore, the "open / closed state of the opening / closing body" is a concept that includes, for example, a "fully closed state," a "fully open state," and a "half-open state." Of these, the "fully closed state" is a state in which the opening is fully closed by the opening / closing body, and in the embodiment, the position of the opening / closing body in the fully closed state is referred to as the "fully closed position." Furthermore, the "fully open state" is a state in which the opening is fully opened by the opening / closing body, and in the embodiment, the position of the opening / closing body in the fully open state is referred to as the "fully open position." Furthermore, the "half-open state" is a state in which the opening / closing body is located between the fully closed position and the fully open position.

[0025] In the following embodiment, a description will be given of a case in which the opening and closing device is a manual door device (specifically, a hinged waterproof door) installed in an opening in the exterior wall material of a building such as a public facility (e.g., a city hall, etc.).

[0026] [II] Specific Contents of the Embodiments Next, the specific contents of the embodiment will be described.

[0027] [First embodiment] First, there will be described a control system according to embodiment 1. In this embodiment 1, the control system is applied to one opening and closing device.

[0029] (Configuration - Switchgear) First, the configuration of the opening and closing device 1 will be described.

[0030] In the following description, the X direction in FIG. 1 is referred to as the left-right direction of the opening and closing device 1 (the -X direction is the left direction of the opening and closing device 1, and the +X direction is the right direction of the opening and closing device 1), the Y direction in FIG. 1 is referred to as the up-down direction of the opening and closing device 1 (the +Y direction is the up direction of the opening and closing device 1, and the -Y direction is the down direction of the opening and closing device 1), and the direction perpendicular to the X and Y directions is referred to as the front-back direction (the direction leading to the front side of the paper in FIG. 1 is the front direction of the opening and closing device 1, and the direction leading to the back side of the paper in FIG. 1 is the rear direction of the opening and closing device 1).

[0031] The opening and closing device 1 is configured using, for example, a known waterproof door (one example being a waterproof door of a single swinging door type, etc.), and as shown in Fig. 1, generally includes a frame body 10, an opening and closing body 20, and a hinge part 30. However, unless otherwise specified, the configuration of the opening and closing device 1 is the same as that of the conventional one, and description thereof will be omitted.

[0032] The method of mounting (or connecting) the various components constituting the opening and closing device 1 is arbitrary. For example, a method of mounting (or connecting) the mounting side component to the mating component using a fastener (e.g., rivet, mounting screw (one example is anchor screw, etc.), screw, etc.), welding, adhesive, double-sided tape, etc. through a mounting hole (e.g., rivet hole, screw hole, screw hole, etc.) formed in the mounting side component or the mating component may be used.

[0033] (Configuration - Switching device - Frame) The frame 10 is installed on the periphery of an opening 3 formed in a building's main body 2 (specifically, an exterior wall material), and, as shown in Figure 1, comprises a pair of left and right vertical frame members 11, 12 and a pair of top and bottom horizontal frame members 13, 14 made of steel (for example, steel, stainless steel, etc.).

[0034] These vertical frame members 11, 12 and horizontal frame members 13, 14 (except for the horizontal frame member 14 described later) are each directly fixed to the main body 2 at the periphery of the opening 3 using known methods, and when combined with each other, they are formed so that the front shape is approximately rectangular and annular.

[0035] In the following, as necessary, of the pair of left and right vertical frame members 11, 12, the vertical frame member 11 located on the trailing edge of the opening 3 will be referred to as the "trailing edge side vertical frame member 11," and the vertical frame member 12 located on the leading edge of the opening 3 will be referred to as the "leading edge side vertical frame member 12." Additionally, of the pair of upper and lower horizontal frame members 13, 14, the horizontal frame member 13 located above the opening 3 will be referred to as the "upper horizontal frame member 13," and the horizontal frame member 14 located below the opening 3 will be referred to as the "lower horizontal frame member 14."

[0036] (Configuration - Opening and closing device - Frame - Other configurations) In addition, a deadbolt receiver and a latch receiver are provided on this door-end vertical frame material 12 (both not shown).

[0037] Of these, the deadbolt receiver is a deadbolt receiving means for receiving a deadbolt of a locking device 41 (described later) provided on the opening / closing body 20 in the fully closed state, and is disposed at a position corresponding to the deadbolt (described later).

[0038] The latch receiver is a latch receiving means for receiving a latch, which will be described later, provided on the opening / closing body 20, and is disposed at a position corresponding to the latch, which will be described later.

[0039] (Configuration-Switching device-Switching body) The opening / closing body 20 is a generally plate-shaped body for opening and closing the opening 3, and as shown in FIG. 1, is equipped with an opening / closing body frame (not shown), an outdoor surface material 21, an indoor surface material (not shown), and a core material (not shown).

[0040] (Configuration - Opening / closing body - Opening / closing body frame) The opening / closing body frame is mainly responsible for the rigidity of the opening / closing body 20. This opening / closing body frame is formed by combining a plurality of long steel strength bones so that the front shape is a substantially rectangular ring, and specifically, is configured with a pair of left and right vertical strength bones and a pair of upper and lower lateral strength bones. In addition, a plurality of intermediate vertical strength bones are arranged in parallel at intervals between the pair of left and right vertical strength bones.

[0041] (Configuration - Opening and closing body - Outdoor surface material, indoor surface material) The outdoor surface material 21 is a surface material that covers either one of the two visible surfaces or at least one or more visible surfaces among the surfaces of the opening / closing body 20. The indoor surface material is a surface material that covers the other of the two visible surfaces or at least one or more visible surfaces among the surfaces of the opening / closing body 20. The outdoor surface material 21 and the indoor surface material are formed, for example, from a thin plate-like steel material (specifically, steel material or stainless steel material), and are provided so as to cover the opening / closing body frame from the outdoor side and the indoor side of the building, and are fixed to the opening / closing body frame.

[0042] (Configuration - Opening and closing body - Core material) The core material is filled inside the opening / closing body 20. This core material is made of, for example, a known core material, and is filled in the space surrounded by the opening / closing body frame, the outdoor surface material 21, and the indoor surface material.

[0043] (Configuration - Opening and closing body - Other configurations) As shown in FIG. 1, the door end side of the opening / closing body 20 is provided with a handle portion 22 which allows the user to open and close the opening / closing body 20, and a latch (not shown) for maintaining the opening / closing body 20 in a fully closed position regardless of the state of the locking device 41 described below.

[0044] (Configuration - Opening and closing device - Hinge section) The hinge section 30 is for axially supporting the opening / closing body 20 so as to be freely rotatable with respect to the trailing edge vertical frame member 11. This hinge section 30 is configured using a known flag hinge or the like, and as shown in Fig. 1, a plurality of hinge sections 30 are arranged in parallel at intervals from each other in the vertical direction at the trailing edge end (the right edge in Fig. 1) of the opening / closing body 20, and are attached to the opening / closing body 20 and the trailing edge vertical frame member 11 by fasteners or the like.

[0045] (Configuration - Locking system) Next, the configuration of the locking system 40 will be described.

[0046] The locking system 40 is a system for controlling the locking of the opening / closing body 20, and includes a locking device 41, a locking operation device 42, and a locking control device 43, as shown in FIG.

[0047] As for the connection of the devices constituting the locking system 40, specifically, the locking control device 43 is electrically connected to each of the locking devices 41 and the locking operation device 42 via wiring 5. This allows communication or power supply between the locking control device 43 and each of the locking devices 41 and the locking operation device 42 directly or indirectly.

[0048] (Configuration-Locking system-Locking device) The locking device 41 is a locking means for electrically locking the opening / closing body 20 that opens and closes the opening 3. This locking device 41 is configured using a known electric lock having a deadbolt, and is provided on the opening / closing body 20, specifically, on the door-end side of the opening / closing body 20 as shown in FIG.

[0049] (Configuration - Locking system - Locking operation device) The locking operation device 42 is a locking operation means for receiving operation instructions (e.g., locking operation instructions, unlocking operation instructions, etc.) related to the locking device 41. The locking operation device 42 is configured using, for example, a known operation device for a locking device (e.g., a numeric keypad or card key operation device, etc.), and is provided at a peripheral position of the opening 3.

[0050] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, it is provided on the main body 2 (or the door-end vertical frame member 12) at a position above the height position of the locking device 41 (or at a position approximately the same height position as the locking device 41).

[0051] (Configuration - Locking system - Lock control device) The lock control device 43 is a lock control means for controlling the state of the lock device 41 based on an operation instruction received via the lock operation device 42.

[0052] Here, in the first embodiment, "the state of the locking device 41" corresponds to a locked state in which the opening-closing body 20 is locked, and an unlocked state in which the opening-closing body 20 is unlocked.

[0053] This lock control device 43 is configured using, for example, a controller for a known lock device, and is provided in a peripheral position of the opening 3. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1, it is provided in the frame 2 (or the door-end vertical frame member 12) in a position adjacent to the lock operation device 42 (above the lock operation device 42 in the figure).

[0054] The lock control device 43 also includes a locking side communication unit, a locking side power supply unit, a locking side control unit, and a locking side storage unit (all of which are omitted in the drawings).

[0055] (Configuration - Locking system - Locking control device - Locking communication unit) The locking side communication unit is a locking side communication means for communicating between the locking control device 43 and each of the locking devices 41 and the locking operation device 42, and is configured using, for example, a known communication means for communicating using a wired communication network.

[0056] (Configuration - Locking system - Locking control device - Locking power supply unit) The locking side power supply unit is a locking side power supply means that supplies power supplied from a commercial power source or a battery (e.g., a battery, etc.) not shown in the figure to each unit of the locking control device 43, and also supplies power to the locking device 41 and the locking operation device 42.

[0057] (Configuration - Locking system - Locking control device - Locking side control unit) The locking side control section is a locking side control means for controlling each section of the lock control device 43. Specifically, it is a computer including a CPU, various programs interpreted and executed on the CPU (including basic control programs such as an OS, and application programs that are started on the OS and realize specific functions), and an internal memory such as a RAM for storing the programs and various data (the same applies to the configuration of the breaking side control section of the breaking device 52 described later and the configuration of the unit side control section 63 of the control unit 60 described later).

[0058] (Configuration - Locking system - Locking control device - Locking side memory unit) The locking side memory unit is a locking side memory means for storing programs and various data necessary for the operation of the locking control device 43, and is configured using a rewritable recording medium, and a non-volatile recording medium such as a flash memory can be used (the same applies to the configuration of the breaking side memory unit of the breaking device 52 described later, and the configuration of the unit side memory unit 64 of the control unit 60 described later).

[0059] (Configuration-Control System) Next, the configuration of the control system 50 will be described.

[0060] The control system 50 is a system for controlling the locking system 40, and includes a detection device 51 and a blocking device 52, as shown in FIG.

[0061] As for the connection form of each device constituting the control system 50, specifically, the detection device 51 and the interruption device 52 are electrically connected via a wiring 5. This allows communication between the detection device 51 and the interruption device 52.

[0062] (Configuration-Control System-Detection Device) The detection device 51 is a detection means for detecting the water level around the locking device 41. The detection device 51 is configured using, for example, a known water level sensor (for example, a float-type level switch, etc.), and is provided in the vicinity of the locking device 41.

[0063] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, it is provided at a position lower than the locking device 41 (for example, at a position approximately 2 cm to 5 cm lower than the locking device 41) on the door end side of the opening / closing body 20, and is electrically connected to a commercial power source via wiring 5.

[0064] This allows the water level around the locking device 41 to be detected accurately, improving the detection accuracy of the water level. Also, since it becomes easier to set the reference water level of the detection device 51 to a position lower than the locking device 41, it becomes easier to cut off the power supply to the locking device 41 before the locking device 41 is submerged in water.

[0065] (Configuration-Control System-Shutdown Device) The circuit breaker 52 is a circuit breaker that cuts off the power supply to at least the locking device 41 based on the detection result of the detection device 51. The circuit breaker 52 is configured using, for example, a known circuit breaker (one example is a molded circuit breaker or the like) and is provided in the vicinity of the opening 3 at a position above the locking device 41, specifically, at a position near the upper end of the opening 3 as shown in FIG.

[0066] 1, the cutoff device 52 is connected to the wiring 5 connected to the locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, the locking control device 43, and the detection device 51. This makes it possible to cut off the power supply to the locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, the locking control device 43, and the detection device 51.

[0067] The interrupter device 52 also includes an interrupter-side communication unit, an interrupter-side power supply unit, an interrupter-side control unit, and an interrupter-side storage unit (all of which are omitted in the drawings).

[0068] (Configuration - Control system - Shutdown device - Shutdown communication unit) The cut-off side communication unit is a cut-off side communication means for communicating between the detection device 51 and the cut-off device 52, and is configured using, for example, a known communication means for communicating using a wired communication network (or a wireless communication network).

[0069] (Configuration - Control system - Circuit breaker - Circuit breaker power supply unit) The interrupter power supply unit is a power supply means on the interrupter side that supplies power supplied from a commercial power supply or a cell (for example, a battery) to each part of the interrupter device 52.

[0070] (Configuration - Control system - Circuit breaker - Circuit breaker control unit) The cutoff side control section is a cutoff side control means that controls each section of the cutoff device 52 .

[0071] (Configuration - Control system - Shutdown device - Shutdown side memory unit) The cutoff side storage unit is a cutoff side storage means for storing programs and various data required for the operation of the cutoff device 52 .

[0072] The control system 50 as described above can at least cut off the power supply to the locking device 41 depending on the water level around the locking device 41. Therefore, it is possible to prevent electricity from leaking from at least the locking device 41, and ensure the safety around the opening 3.

[0073] (Control Processing) Next, there will be described the control processing executed by the interrupter-side control unit of the interrupter 52. In the following description, steps will be abbreviated as "S" in the description of each process shown in FIG.

[0074] The control process is a process for controlling the locking system 40. The timing for executing this control process is arbitrary, but in the first embodiment, it will be described as being started after the power of each device of the opening and closing device 1, the locking system 40, and the control system 50 is turned on.

[0075] The control process will be described on the assumptions shown below.

[0076] That is, the opening / closing state of the opening / closing body 20 in the opening / closing device 1 is the fully closed state. The state of the locking device 41 is the locked state. Also, while the control process is activated, the locking control device 43 of the locking system 40 controls the state of the locking device 41 based on an operation instruction received by the locking operation device 42 in parallel with the control process. Specifically, when a locking operation instruction is received by the locking operation device 42, the locking control device 43 causes the locking device 41 to enter the locked state, and when an unlocking operation instruction is received by the locking operation device 42, the locking control device 43 causes the locking device 41 to enter the unlocked state.

[0077] When the control process is started, the cutoff side control unit in SA1 acquires detection information from the detection device 51 as shown in FIG.

[0078] Here, "detection information" refers to information indicating the detection result detected by the detection device 51 (specifically, the detection result related to the water level around the locking device 41), and is information transmitted continuously or intermittently from the detection device 51, and in the first embodiment, this corresponds to reference water level reached information indicating that the water level around the locking device 41 has reached the reference water level, and reference water level not reached information indicating that the water level around the locking device 41 has not reached the reference water level, etc. However, this is not limited to this, and may be, for example, surrounding water level information indicating the water level around the locking device 41.

[0079] In SA2, the cutoff side control unit determines whether or not the water level around the locking device 41 has reached the reference water level, based on the detection information acquired in SA1.

[0080] The method for determining whether or not the above-mentioned standard water level has been reached is arbitrary, but in embodiment 1, the determination is made based on whether or not the detection information includes standard water level reaching information, and if the standard water level reaching information is included, it is determined that the above-mentioned standard water level has been reached, and if the standard water level reaching information is not included (i.e., if standard water level not reaching information is included), it is determined that the above-mentioned standard water level has not been reached.

[0081] However, without being limited to this, for example, if the detection information includes peripheral water level information, it may be determined that the standard water level has been reached if the water level indicated by the peripheral water level information is equal to or higher than the standard height, and it may be determined that the standard water level has not been reached if the water level indicated by the peripheral water level information is less than the standard height.

[0082] Then, if the cut-off side control unit determines that the peripheral water level has reached the reference water level (SA2, Yes), it transitions to SA3, and if it determines that the peripheral water level has not reached the reference water level (SA2, No), it transitions to SA1.

[0083] In SA3, the cut-off side control section cuts off the power supply to at least the locking device 41.

[0084] The method for cutting off the power supply is arbitrary, but in embodiment 1, the power supply to the locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, and the locking control device 43 is cut off simultaneously (or at different times) by opening the electric paths of the electric circuits connected to the wiring 5 connected to each of the locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, and the locking control device 43, among the electric circuits (not shown) that constitute the cut-off device 52.

[0085] This allows the power supply to the locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, and the locking control device 43 to be cut off depending on the water level around the locking device 41, thereby preventing electrical leakage from the locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, and / or the locking control device 43.

[0086] However, this is not limited to the above, and for example, the power supply to only the locking device 41 may be cut off, or the power supply to the locking device 41 and only one of the locking operation device 42 and the locking control device 43 may be cut off.

[0087] In SA4, the cut-off side control unit cuts off the power supply to the detection device 51.

[0088] The method for cutting off the power supply is arbitrary, but in embodiment 1, after a predetermined time (e.g., 10 to 60 seconds) has elapsed since processing SA3 (i.e., cutting off the power supply to at least the locking device 41), the power supply to the detection device 51 is cut off by opening the electrical path of the electrical circuit connected to the wiring 5 connected to the detection device 51, among the electrical circuits that constitute the cut-off device 52.

[0089] This allows the power supply to the detection device 51 to be cut off at least after the power supply to the locking device 41 is cut off, thereby preventing electricity from leaking from the detection device 51 while maintaining the function of the detection device 51 for a necessary period of time.

[0090] In SA5, the cutoff side control unit judges whether the states of the locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, the lock control device 43, and the detection device 51 have been restored to the states before the power supply was cut off.

[0091] The method of determining whether or not the restoration has been achieved is arbitrary, but for example, after a known restoration operation (such as replacing the wiring of the submerged locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, the locking control device 43, and the detection device 51) is performed, a restoration button (not shown) provided on the breaker device 52 is operated to determine whether or not the electric paths of the electric circuits connected to the wiring 5 connected to the locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, the locking control device 43, and the detection device 51 among the electric circuits constituting the breaker device 52 are closed. Here, if the electric paths of the electric circuits are closed, it is determined that the restoration has been achieved, and if the electric paths of the electric circuits are not closed, it is determined that the restoration has not been achieved.

[0092] Then, the interrupter side control unit waits until it is determined that the recovery has occurred (SA5, No), and if it is determined that the recovery has occurred (SA5, Yes), it transitions to SA1 and thereafter repeats the processes from SA1 to SA5 in the same manner.

[0093] By the above-mentioned control process, it is possible to cut off the power supply to at least the locking device 41 depending on the water level around the locking device 41. Therefore, it is possible to prevent electricity from leaking from at least the locking device 41, and it is possible to ensure the safety around the opening 3.

[0094] (Effects of the First Embodiment) Thus, according to the first embodiment, since the detection device 51 that detects the water level around the locking device 41 and the cutoff device 52 that cuts off the power supply to at least the locking device 41 based on the detection result of the detection device 51 are provided, the power supply to at least the locking device 41 can be cut off according to the water level condition around the locking device 41. Therefore, it is possible to prevent electricity from leaking from at least the locking device 41 and ensure the safety around the opening 3.

[0095] In addition, based on the detection result of the detection device 51, the cut-off device 52 cuts off the power supply to the locking operation device 42 and / or the locking control device 43 in addition to the locking device 41. Therefore, depending on the water level condition around the locking device 41, the power supply to the locking operation device 42 and / or the locking control device 43 in addition to the locking device 41 can be cut off, thereby preventing electricity leakage from the locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, and / or the locking control device 43.

[0096] In addition, since the cut-off device 52 cuts off the power supply to the detection device 51 a predetermined time after the power supply to at least the locking device 41 is cut off, the power supply to the detection device 51 can be cut off at least after the power supply to the locking device 41 is cut off, and it is possible to prevent electricity from leaking from the detection device 51 while maintaining the function of the detection device 51 for a necessary period of time.

[0097] Furthermore, since the detector 51 is provided in the vicinity of the locking device 41, the water level around the locking device 41 can be detected accurately, and the detection accuracy of the water level can be improved.

[0098] Furthermore, since the detection device 51 is provided at a position lower than the locking device 41, it becomes easier to set the reference water level of the detection device 51 at a position lower than the locking device 41, making it easier to cut off the power supply to the locking device 41 before the locking device 41 is submerged in water.

[0099] [Embodiment 2] Next, a control system according to embodiment 2 will be described. In this embodiment 2, the control system is applied to a plurality of opening and closing devices. However, the configuration and processing according to embodiment 2 are the same as those according to embodiment 1 unless otherwise specified, and the same configuration and processing will not be described by using the same names or symbols as those used in embodiment 1 as necessary.

[0110] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 3, the multiple locking operation devices 42 provided in the vicinity of the door-end vertical frame member 12 of each of the lower first opening / closing device 1a and the lower second opening / closing device 1b are provided at approximately the same height.

[0111] In the following, as necessary, of the multiple locking operation devices 42, the locking operation device 42a provided in the vicinity of the leading vertical frame member 12 of the lower first opening / closing device 1a will be referred to as the "lower first locking operation device 42a", the locking operation device 42b provided in the vicinity of the leading vertical frame member 12 of the lower second opening / closing device 1b will be referred to as the "lower second locking operation device 42b", the locking operation device 42c provided in the vicinity of the leading vertical frame member 12 of the upper first opening / closing device 1c will be referred to as the "upper first locking operation device 42c", and the locking operation device 42d provided in the vicinity of the leading vertical frame member 12 of the upper second opening / closing device 1d will be referred to as the "upper second locking operation device 42d".

[0112] (Configuration - Locking system - Lock control device) The lock control devices 43 have substantially the same configuration as the lock control device 43 according to the first embodiment, and are provided at the periphery of the openings 3, respectively.

[0113] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 3, the multiple lock control devices 43 provided in the vicinity of the door-end vertical frame member 12 of each of the lower first opening / closing device 1a and the lower second opening / closing device 1b are provided at approximately the same height. Also, the multiple lock control devices 43 provided in the vicinity of the door-end vertical frame member 12 of each of the upper first opening / closing device 1c and the upper second opening / closing device 1d are provided at approximately the same height and at a higher position than the lock control device 43 provided in the vicinity of the door-end vertical frame member 12 of the lower first opening / closing device 1a.

[0114] In the following, as necessary, of the multiple locking control devices 43, the locking control device 43a provided in the vicinity of the leading vertical frame member 12 of the lower first opening / closing device 1a will be referred to as the "lower first locking control device 43a", the locking control device 43b provided in the vicinity of the leading vertical frame member 12 of the lower second opening / closing device 1b will be referred to as the "lower second locking control device 43b", the locking control device 43c provided in the vicinity of the leading vertical frame member 12 of the upper first opening / closing device 1c will be referred to as the "upper first locking control device 43c", and the locking control device 43d provided in the vicinity of the leading vertical frame member 12 of the upper second opening / closing device 1d will be referred to as the "upper second locking control device 43d".

[0115] Furthermore, the devices constituting the locking system 40 may be connected in any manner, but in the second embodiment, they are connected as follows.

[0116] That is, the lower first locking control device 43a is electrically connected to each of the lower first locking device 41a and the lower first locking operation device 42a via the wiring 5, and the lower second locking control device 43b is electrically connected to each of the lower second locking device 41b and the lower second locking operation device 42b via the wiring 5. In addition, the upper first locking control device 43c is electrically connected to each of the upper first locking device 41c and the upper first locking operation device 42c via the wiring 5, and the upper second locking control device 43d is electrically connected to each of the upper second locking device 41d and the upper second locking operation device 42d via the wiring 5.

[0117] With this type of connection, each locking control device 43 can directly or indirectly communicate with or supply power to the corresponding locking device 41 and / or the corresponding locking operation device 42, and can control the state of the corresponding locking device 41 based on operation instructions received via the corresponding locking operation device 42 (for example, the lower first locking control device 43a can control the state of the lower first locking device 41a based on operation instructions received via the lower first locking operation device 42a).

[0118] (Configuration-Control System) Next, the configuration of the control system 50 will be described.

[0119] As shown in FIG. 3, the control system 50 includes a plurality of detection devices 51, a plurality of cutoff devices 52, and a control unit 60.

[0120] (Configuration-Control System-Detection Device) The multiple detection devices 51 (two detection devices 51 in FIG. 3) are configured substantially identically to the detection device 51 in embodiment 1, are each provided in the structure 2 on the same floor, and are each electrically connected to a commercial power source via wiring 5.

[0121] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 3, one of the two detection devices 51 is provided in a portion of the body 2 that is located below the stairs 4 (a portion between the lower first opening / closing device 1a and the lower second opening / closing device 1b in Fig. 3) and is located below the lower first locking device 41a (for example, a position about 2 cm to 5 cm below the lower first locking device 41a). The other of the two detection devices 51 is provided in a portion of the body 2 that is located above the stairs 4 (a portion between the upper first opening / closing device 1c and the upper second opening / closing device 1d in Fig. 3) and is located below the upper first locking device 41c (for example, a position about 2 cm to 5 cm below the upper first locking device 41c).

[0122] In the following, as necessary, of the multiple detection devices 51, the detection device 51a located on the lower side of the staircase 4 will be referred to as the "lower detection device 51a," and the detection device 51b located on the upper side of the staircase 4 will be referred to as the "upper detection device 51b."

[0123] In addition, the reference water level of the lower detection device 51a is referred to as the "lower reference water level," and the reference water level of the upper detection device 51b that is located above the lower reference water level is referred to as the "upper reference water level."

[0124] (Configuration-Control System-Shutdown Device) The plurality of cutoff devices 52 have substantially the same configuration as the cutoff device 52 according to the first embodiment, and are provided at positions near the upper ends of the respective openings 3.

[0125] 3, the multiple shutoff devices 52 provided in the vicinity of the opening 3 corresponding to the lower first opening / closing device 1a and the lower second opening / closing device 1b are provided at approximately the same height. Also, the multiple shutoff devices 52 provided in the opening 3 corresponding to the upper first opening / closing device 1c and the upper second opening / closing device 1d are provided at approximately the same height and at a higher position than the shutoff device 52 provided in the vicinity of the opening 3 corresponding to the lower first opening / closing device 1a.

[0126] In the following, as necessary, of the multiple shutoff devices 52, the shutoff device 52a provided in the vicinity of the opening 3 corresponding to the lower first opening / closing device 1a will be referred to as the "lower first shutoff device 52a," the shutoff device 52b provided in the vicinity of the opening 3 corresponding to the lower second opening / closing device 1b will be referred to as the "lower second shutoff device 52b," the shutoff device 52c provided in the vicinity of the opening 3 corresponding to the upper first opening / closing device 1c will be referred to as the "upper first shutoff device 52c," and the shutoff device 52d provided in the vicinity of the opening 3 corresponding to the upper second opening / closing device 1d will be referred to as the "upper second shutoff device 52d."

[0127] In addition, the method of connecting the cut-off devices 52 is arbitrary, but in embodiment 2, each cut-off device 52 is connected to wiring 5 which is connected to the corresponding locking device 41, the corresponding locking operation device 42, the corresponding locking control device 43, and / or the corresponding detection device 51.

[0128] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 3, the lower first breaking device 52a is connected to the wiring 5 connected to the lower first locking device 41a, the lower first locking operation device 42a, the lower first locking control device 43a, and the lower detection device 51a. The lower second breaking device 52b is connected to the wiring 5 connected to the lower second locking device 41b, the lower second locking operation device 42b, and the lower second locking control device 43b. The upper first breaking device 52c is connected to the wiring 5 connected to the upper first locking device 41c, the upper first locking operation device 42c, the upper first locking control device 43c, and the upper detection device 51b. Further, the upper second breaking device 52d is connected to the wiring 5 which is connected to each of the upper second locking device 41d, the upper second locking operation device 42d, and the upper second lock control device 43d.

[0129] This makes it possible to cut off the power supply to each of the plurality of locking devices 41, the plurality of locking operation devices 42, the plurality of lock control devices 43, and the plurality of detection devices 51.

[0130] (Configuration-Control System-Control Unit) The control unit 60 is a device that mutually links each part of the control system 50. The control units 60 are provided in the respective bodies 2 on the same floor, and specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, they are provided at approximately the same height position as the upper first shutoff device 52c (or at a higher position).

[0131] As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 60 includes a unit-side communication section 61, a unit-side power supply section 62, a unit-side control section 63, and a unit-side storage section 64.

[0132] (Configuration - Control system - Control unit - Unit side communication section) The unit side communication section 61 is a unit side communication means for communicating between the control unit 60 and each of the multiple detection devices 51 and multiple cut-off devices 52, and is configured using a known communication means for communicating using, for example, a wired communication network (or a wireless communication network).

[0133] (Configuration - Control system - Control unit - Unit side power supply section) The unit side power supply section 62 is a unit side power supply means that supplies power supplied from a commercial power supply or a cell (for example, a battery) to each section of the control unit 60 and also to the multiple circuit breakers 52.

[0134] (Configuration - Control system - Control unit - Unit side control section) The unit-side control section 63 is a unit-side control means for controlling each section of the control unit 60, and as shown in FIG. 4, conceptually includes a cutoff section 63a.

[0135] The cutoff unit 63a cuts off the power supply to at least the locking device 41 based on the detection result of the detection device 51. In the second embodiment, the above-mentioned "plurality of cutoff devices 52" and "cutoff unit 63a" correspond to the "cutoff means" in the claims.

[0136] (Configuration-Control system-Control unit-Unit side memory section) The unit-side storage section 64 is a unit-side storage means for storing programs and various data necessary for the operation of the control unit 60, and as shown in FIG. 4, includes a height position table 64a.

[0137] (Configuration-Control system-Control unit-Unit side memory section-Height position table) The height position table 64a is a height position information storage means that stores information (hereinafter referred to as "height position information") regarding the height positions of various devices (specifically, the locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, and the locking control device 43).

[0138] As shown in FIG. 5, the height position information is stored by associating the items "device identification information", "device name information", and "height position information" with information corresponding to each item.

[0139] Among these, the information corresponding to the item "device identification information" is information for uniquely identifying various devices, such as "1001" which is an identification number assigned to the lower first locking device 41a as shown in FIG. 5. The information corresponding to the item "device name information" is information indicating the names of various devices, such as "lower first locking device 41a" which is the name of the lower first locking device 41a as shown in FIG. 5. The information corresponding to the item "height position information" is height position information, such as "height position near the lower reference water level" which is the height position of the lower first locking device 41a as shown in FIG. 5.

[0140] The control system 50 as described above can cut off the power supply to at least the multiple locking devices 41 depending on the water level around the multiple locking devices 41. This can prevent electricity from leaking from at least the multiple locking devices 41, and ensure safety around the multiple openings 3.

[0141] (Control Processing) Next, the control process executed by the unit side control section 63 of the control unit 60 will be described.

[0142] The control process may be executed at any timing, but in the second embodiment, the control process is described as being started after the power of each of the multiple opening and closing devices 1, the locking system 40, and the control system 50 is turned on.

[0143] The control process will be described on the assumptions shown below.

[0144] That is, the opening / closing state of the opening / closing body 20 in each opening / closing device 1 is the fully closed state. Also, the state of each locking device 41 is the locked state. Also, while the control process is activated, each locking control device 43 of the locking system 40 controls the state of the corresponding locking device 41 based on the operation instruction received by the corresponding locking operation device 42 in parallel with the control process. Specifically, when a locking operation instruction is received by the lower first locking operation device 42a, the lower first locking control device 43a causes the lower first locking device 41a to enter the locked state, and when an unlocking operation instruction is received by the lower first locking operation device 42a, the lower first locking control device 43a causes the lower first locking device 41a to enter the unlocked state.

[0145] When the control process is started, as shown in FIG. 6, in SB1, the unit side controller 63 acquires detection information (hereinafter referred to as "first detection information") from the lower detection device 51a in substantially the same manner as in the process of SA1.

[0146] In SB2, the blocking unit 63a determines whether the peripheral water level of the lower first locking device 41a (or the lower second locking device 41b) has reached the lower reference water level based on the first detection information acquired in SB1, in a manner similar to the processing of SA2.

[0147] Then, if it is determined that the peripheral water level has reached the lower reference water level (SB2, Yes), the shutoff unit 63a transitions to SB3, and if it is determined that the peripheral water level has not reached the lower reference water level (SB2, No), the shutoff unit 63a transitions to SB1.

[0148] In SB3, the cut-off unit 63a cuts off the power supply to the locking devices 41 (specifically, the lower first locking device 41a and the lower second locking device 41b) that are located at a height position near the lower reference water level among the multiple locking devices 41 using various cut-off devices 52.

[0149] Specifically, from among the device name information (or device identification information) stored in the height position table 64a, in addition to the lower first locking device 41a and the lower second locking device 41b, which are at height positions near the lower reference water level in terms of height position information, the lower first locking operation device 42a, the lower first locking control device 43a, the lower second locking operation device 42b, and the lower second locking control device 43b are extracted. Then, substantially similar to the process of SA3, the power supply to the extracted devices is cut off by the cutoff device 52 (specifically, the lower first cutoff device 52a and the lower second cutoff device 52b) associated with the extracted devices.

[0150] This effectively cuts off the power supply to all of the multiple locking devices 41 included in the locking system 40 that are located at a height position near the lower reference water level, thereby preventing electrical leakage from all of those locking devices 41.

[0151] In SB4, substantially similar to the process in SA4, the cutoff unit 63a causes the lower first cutoff device 52a to cut off the power supply to the lower detection device 51a.

[0152] In SB5, the unit side control section 63 acquires detection information (hereinafter referred to as "second detection information") from the upper detection device 51b in substantially the same manner as in the process of SB1.

[0153] In SB6, the blocking unit 63a determines whether the peripheral water level of the upper first locking device 41c (or the upper second locking device 41d) has reached the upper reference water level based on the second detection information acquired in SB5, in a manner similar to the processing in SB2.

[0154] Then, if it is determined that the peripheral water level has reached the upper reference water level (SB6, Yes), the shutoff unit 63a transitions to SB7, and if it is determined that the peripheral water level has not reached the upper reference water level (SB6, No), the shutoff unit 63a transitions to SB5.

[0155] In SB7, the cut-off unit 63a cuts off the power supply to the locking devices 41 (specifically, the upper first locking device 41c and the upper second locking device 41d) that are located at a height position near the upper reference water level among the multiple locking devices 41 using various cut-off devices 52.

[0156] Specifically, among the device name information (or device identification information) stored in the height position table 64a, in addition to the upper first locking device 41c and the upper second locking device 41d, which have height position information=height position near the upper reference water level, the upper first locking operation device 42c, the upper first locking control device 43c, the upper second locking operation device 42d, and the upper second locking control device 43d are extracted. Then, substantially similar to the process of SA3, the power supply to the extracted devices is cut off by the cutoff device 52 (specifically, the upper first cutoff device 52c and the upper second cutoff device 52d) associated with the extracted devices.

[0157] This effectively cuts off the power supply to all of the multiple locking devices 41 included in the locking system 40 that are located at a height position near the upper reference water level, thereby preventing electrical leakage from all of those locking devices 41.

[0158] In SB8, substantially similar to the process in SB4, the cutoff unit 63a causes the upper first cutoff device 52c to cut off the power supply to the upper detection device 51b.

[0159] In SB9, the unit side control unit 63 determines whether the states of the multiple locking devices 41, the multiple locking operation devices 42, the multiple lock control devices 43, and the multiple detection devices 51 have been restored to the states before the power supply was cut off.

[0160] The method of determining whether or not the circuit breaker 52 has been restored is arbitrary. For example, after the known restoration work is performed, a restoration button (not shown) provided on each circuit breaker 52 is operated to close the electric circuits of the electric circuits that are connected to the locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, the locking control device 43, and the wire 5 that is connected to the detection device 51 among the electric circuits that constitute each circuit breaker 52, and the restoration information is received from all the circuit breaker 52. Here, if the restoration information is received from all the circuit breaker 52, it is determined that the restoration has been performed, and if the restoration information is not received from all the circuit breaker 52, it is determined that the restoration has not been performed. The "restoration information" is information indicating that, among the electric circuits that constitute the circuit breaker 52, the electric circuits that are connected to the locking device 41, the locking operation device 42, the locking control device 43, and / or the wire 5 that is connected to the detection device 51 are closed.

[0161] Then, the interrupter side control unit waits until it is determined that the recovery has occurred (SB9, No), and if it is determined that the recovery has occurred (SB9, Yes), it transitions to SB1, and thereafter repeats the processes from SB1 to SB9 in the same manner.

[0162] By the above-mentioned control process, it is possible to cut off the power supply to at least the plurality of locking devices 41 according to the water level situation around the plurality of locking devices 41. Therefore, it is possible to prevent electricity from leaking from at least the plurality of locking devices 41, and it is possible to ensure the safety around the plurality of openings 3.

[0163] (Effects of the second embodiment) Thus, according to embodiment 2, when the water level detected by at least one of the detection devices 51 reaches the reference water level, the cut-off means cuts off the power supply to the locking device 41 among the multiple locking devices 41 that is located at a height position close to the reference water level, thereby effectively cutting off the power supply to all locking means among the multiple locking devices 41 included in the locking system 40 that are located at a height position close to the reference water level, and preventing electricity from leaking from all of the locking means.

[0164] [III] Modifications to the embodiment Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the specific configurations and means of the present invention can be modified and improved as desired within the scope of the technical ideas of the inventions described in the claims.

[0169] (About the locking system) In the above first and second embodiments, the locking device 41 is described as being provided in the opening / closing body 20, but this is not limiting, and for example, it may be provided in the door-end vertical frame material 12. In this case, the deadbolt receiver may be provided in the opening / closing body 20, and the detection device 51 may be provided in the door-end vertical frame material 12.

[0170] In the above-described second embodiment, each lock control device 43 controls only the state of the corresponding lock device 41. However, this is not limited to the above. For example, one lock control device 43 may control the states of multiple lock devices 41.

[0171] (Regarding the control system) In the above embodiment 1, it has been described that the detection device 51 is provided in the vicinity of the locking device 41, but this is not limited thereto, and for example, the detection device 51 may be provided in a position away from the locking device 41 (for example, a position more than 5 m away from the locking device 41).

[0172] In addition, in the above first and second embodiments, the detection device 51 has been described as a float type level switch, but is not limited to this and may be, for example, a pressure type level switch or an ultrasonic type level switch.

[0173] In the above-mentioned second embodiment, two detectors 51 are provided for four locking devices 41, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one detector 51 may be provided for each locking device 41. Alternatively, only one detector 51 (as an example, only the lower detector 51a) may be provided for four locking devices 41.

[0174] In the above-mentioned second embodiment, one cutoff device 52 is provided for each locking device 41, but this is not limited thereto. For example, one cutoff device 52 may be provided for a plurality of locking devices 41 (for example, the lower first lock control device 43a and the lower second lock control device 43b, etc.).

[0175] (Regarding control processing) In the above-mentioned embodiment 1, it has been described that SA4 and SA5 are executed in the control process, but this is not limiting, and for example, SA4 and / or SA5 may be omitted (this is also the case for the control process according to embodiment 2). When the process of SA4 is omitted, the power supply to the detection device 51 may be continued even after the power supply to the locking device 41 is cut off. Also, when the process of SA5 is omitted, the control process may be terminated after the process of SA4 (or SA3) is completed.

[0176] In the above embodiment 1, the power supply to the locking operation device 42 and the locking control device 43 is cut off in the process of SA3, but this is not limited to the above. For example, if the locking operation device 42 and the locking control device 43 are located above the locking device 41, the power supply to the locking operation device 42 and the locking control device 43 may be continued (this is also the same for the processes of SB3 and SB7 according to embodiment 2). In this case, the cutoff device 52 and the wiring 5 connected to each of the locking operation device 42 and the locking control device 43 may not be connected.

[0177] In the above-described second embodiment, when it is determined in SB2 that the water level around the lower first locking device 41a has reached the lower reference water level in the process of SB3, the power supply to only the locking device 41 that is provided at a height position near the lower reference water level among the multiple locking devices 41 is cut off, but this is not limited thereto. For example, when it is determined in SB2 that the water level around the lower first locking device 41a has reached the lower reference water level, the power supply to all of the multiple locking devices 41 may be cut off. In this case, for example, one cutoff device 52 capable of cutting off the power supply to all of the multiple locking devices 41, the multiple locking operation devices 42, and the multiple locking control devices 43 that constitute the locking system 40 may be provided.

[0178] In the above-mentioned second embodiment, it has been described that in the process of SB9, it is determined whether the states of the multiple locking devices 41, the multiple locking operation devices 42, the multiple locking control devices 43, and the multiple detection devices 51 have been restored to the states before the power supply was cut off, but this is not limited to the above. For example, during the process of SB5 to SB8, it may be determined whether the states of the lower first locking device 41a, the lower second locking device 41b, the lower first locking operation device 42a, the lower first locking control device 43a, the lower second locking operation device 42b, and the lower second locking control device 43b have been restored to the states before the power supply was cut off. Then, if the states of these devices have been restored to the states before the power supply was cut off, the process may proceed to SB1.

[0179] (Additional Note) The control system of Appendix 1 is a control system for controlling a locking system equipped with a locking means for electrically locking an opening / closing body that opens and closes an opening of a building, and is equipped with a detection means for detecting the water level around the locking means, and a cut-off means for cutting off the power supply to at least the locking means based on the detection result of the detection means.

[0180] The control system of Appendix 2 is the control system described in Appendix 1, wherein the locking system comprises the locking means, a locking operation means for receiving an operation instruction related to the locking means, and a locking control means for controlling the state of the locking means based on the operation instruction received via the locking operation means, and the cutting means cuts off the power supply to the locking operation means and / or the locking control means in addition to the locking means based on the detection result of the detection means.

[0181] The control system of Supplementary Note 3 is the control system described in Supplementary Note 1 or 2, wherein the cut-off means cuts off the power supply to the detection means at least after a predetermined time has elapsed since the power supply to the locking means was cut off.

[0182] The control system of Supplementary Note 4 is the control system according to any one of Supplementary Notes 1 to 3, wherein the detection means is provided in the vicinity of the locking means.

[0183] The control system of Supplementary Note 5 is the control system according to any one of Supplementary Notes 1 to 4, wherein the detection means is provided at a position lower than the locking means.

[0184] The control system of Appendix 6 is a control system for controlling the locking system described in any one of Appendixes 1 to 5, which has a plurality of locking means for locking a plurality of the opening / closing bodies, and has at least one or more detection means for detecting the peripheral water level of at least one of the plurality of locking means, and when the peripheral water level detected by any of the at least one or more detection means reaches a reference water level, the cut-off means cuts off the power supply to the locking means among the plurality of locking means that is located at a height position near the reference water level.

[0185] (Effect of supplementary notes) According to the control system described in Supplementary Note 1, since the control system includes a detection means for detecting the water level around the locking means and a cut-off means for cutting off the power supply to at least the locking means based on the detection result of the detection means, the power supply to at least the locking means can be cut off according to the water level around the locking means. Therefore, it is possible to prevent electricity from leaking from at least the locking means and ensure the safety around the opening.

[0186] According to the control system described in Appendix 2, the cut-off means cuts off the power supply to the locking operation means and / or locking control means in addition to the locking means based on the detection result of the detection means. Therefore, the power supply to the locking operation means and / or locking control means in addition to the locking means can be cut off depending on the water level condition around the locking means, and electricity leakage from the locking means, the locking operation means, and / or the locking control means can be avoided.

[0187] According to the control system described in Appendix 3, the cut-off means cuts off the power supply to the detection means a predetermined time after the power supply to at least the locking means is cut off, so that the power supply to the detection means can be cut off at least after the power supply to the locking means is cut off, and it is possible to avoid electricity leakage from the detection means while maintaining the function of the detection means for a necessary period of time.

[0188] According to the control system described in Supplementary Note 4, since the detection means is provided in the vicinity of the locking means, the water level around the locking means can be accurately detected, and the detection accuracy of the water level can be improved.

[0189] According to the control system described in Appendix 5, the detection means is provided at a position lower than the locking means, making it easier to set the reference water level of the detection means at a position lower than the locking means, and therefore easier to cut off the power supply to the locking means before the locking means is submerged in water.

[0190] According to the control system described in Appendix 6, when the water level detected by at least one of the detection means reaches a reference water level, the cut-off means cuts off the power supply to one of the multiple locking means that is located at a height position close to the reference water level. This effectively cuts off the power supply to all of the multiple locking means included in the locking system that are located at a height position close to the reference water level, thereby preventing electricity from leaking from all of the locking means.
