Control Device for Automatic Door Operation Completion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing control technologies for structures like doors struggle to assist users in completing opening or closing operations, requiring users to fully open or close doors manually.
Innovation Solution
A control device equipped with a control section that uses sensors to determine the operation direction of a structure and assists in completing the opening or closing operation until the structure is fully open or closed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the existing control technology (JP 2014-194151 A) is used to control opening and closing of a structure, then the structure can be stopped at a halfway position, but the user still has to manually complete the opening or closing operation to the end
Solution Approach 1:
The control device performs preliminary action by detecting the user's opening or closing operation through the sensor, and automatically completing the remaining movement to the fully opened or fully closed position. This eliminates the need for the user to manually complete the operation, thereby reducing user burden while enhancing automation.
2Ease of operation
If the control device automatically completes the opening or closing operation, then user burden is reduced, but the control system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The control device uses the sensor already provided on the structure to detect the operation direction, and the control unit processes this information to automatically complete the operation. The system serves itself by utilizing existing components rather than adding complex external sensing and control mechanisms, thereby minimizing the increase in device complexity.

AI summary
A control device includes a control section configured to control opening and closing of a structure. the control section controls an opening operation or a closing operation of the structure to match an operation direction of the structure obtained by a sensor provided to the structure, and the control section further controls the closing operation of the structure until the structure is fully closed when the operation direction of the structure obtained by the sensor is a closing direction, and controls the opening operation of the structure until the structure is fully opened when the operation direction of the structure obtained by the sensor is an opening direction.
