First, the outline of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 shows the interior of an elevator car 1 . As shown in FIG. 1 , the elevator car 1 has a car interior lighting 4 . The guide lighting 4 inside the car illuminates a predetermined area in the car 1 with light in order to guide the passengers to an empty space when the passengers get on the car 1 . The guidance lighting 4 in the car is an example of the guidance device in the car of the present invention.

For example, when the floor where the passenger 2 gets off the elevator (hereinafter referred to as "destination floor") is a floor relatively far from the boarding floor, the area near the rear side of the elevator car 1 is irradiated with light by the guide lighting 4 in the car. , thereby guiding passengers to the rear of the elevator car 1, and when the destination floor of the passenger 2 is a floor relatively close to the boarding floor, guide lighting 4 in the car to the elevator door side of the elevator car 1 The area of the elevator car 1 is irradiated with light, thereby guiding passengers to the front of the elevator car 1 .

In addition, by setting the area for guiding passengers 2 to an area other than the area near the center of the car, the area near the center of the car can be used as a passage area for passengers 2 to get on and off the elevator. As a result, when the passenger 2 guided to the predetermined area gets off the elevator car 1, he can smoothly pass through the tunnel area and get off the elevator without being squeezed out from other passengers.

(2) The structure of the elevator passenger guidance device

Next, the configuration of the elevator passenger guidance device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5 . FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the elevator passenger guidance device 10 . The elevator passenger guidance device 10 is a computer device that controls the guidance lighting 4 in the car so as to guide elevator passengers to a predetermined area.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the elevator passenger guidance device 10 is composed of a destination floor registration device 5 , a load sensor 6 , a control unit 11 , and car interior guidance lighting 4 .

The destination floor registration device 5 is installed near the hall door on the elevator lobby side, and is a device for registering a destination floor based on an input from a passenger. The load sensor 6 is installed on the floor portion of the elevator car 1, and is a device for detecting a load in the elevator car.

The control unit 11 is composed of an input unit 12 , a determination unit 13 , and a guidance unit 14 . The input unit 12 supplies the passenger's destination floor information input through the destination floor registration device 5 and load data in the elevator car 1 detected by the load sensor 6 to the determination unit 13 .

The judging unit 13 judges to which area in the elevator car 1 the passenger should be guided based on the passenger's destination floor information provided by the input unit 12 and the load data in the elevator car 1 . The judging unit 13 divides the area inside the elevator car 1 into a plurality of areas in advance, determines an appropriate area to which the passenger should be guided based on the passenger's destination floor, and provides information on the area to the guiding unit 14 .

The guide unit 14 instructs the guide lighting 4 in the car to indicate the area where light is irradiated based on the area information provided by the determination unit 13 .

Next, the divided areas of the floor surface in the elevator car 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 3 . As shown in FIG. 3 , the floor surface in the elevator car 1 is divided into a plurality of areas, namely area 3a, area 3b, area 3c, area 3d, area 3e, area 3f, area 3g and area 3h. Among them, areas 3a to 3g are used to guide passengers, and area 3h is a channel area for passengers to get on and off the elevator, and is not used to guide passengers.

For example, the passenger 2 whose destination floor is far away from the entry floor is guided to the rear side of the elevator car 1, and the passenger 2 whose destination floor is relatively close to the entry floor is guided to the center of the elevator car 1 or near the entrance. That is, when the elevator car 1 is an elevator car exclusively for upward travel, the areas 3a, 3b, and 3c in FIG. 1 are divided into areas for guiding passengers whose destination floors are high floors. In addition, the area 3d and the area 3e are divided into areas for guiding passengers whose destination floor is an intermediate floor, and the area 3f and area 3g are divided into areas for guiding passengers whose destination floor is closer to the boarding floor. area.

The division of the area for guiding passengers may also be changed according to the congestion situation in the elevator car. The congestion situation in the elevator car is detected by a load sensor 6 arranged on the floor of the elevator car 1 . Specifically, the congestion conditions in the areas 3 a , 3 b , 3 c , 3 d , 3 e , 3 f , and 3 g are detected based on the load data detected by the load sensor 6 .

For example, when there are more passengers 2 whose destination floor is farther away from the boarding floor than the passengers 2 whose destination floor is closer to the boarding floor, in addition to guiding the passengers 2 whose destination floor is farther away from the boarding floor to the area 3a, the area 3b and 3c, it is also guided to areas near the area 3a, 3b, and 3c other than the above-mentioned areas, so that the passengers in the elevator car 1 can be properly dispersed.

As shown in Figure 4, the guide lighting 4 in the car can be arranged on the top of the elevator door in the elevator car 1, and can also be arranged in any position in the elevator car 1 that can illuminate the floor of the elevator car 1 . The guide lighting 4 in the car is not as large or as eye-catching as the guide display, so the passenger 2 can be guided to an appropriate area without affecting the aesthetics of the elevator car 1 .

As shown in FIG. 4 , the load sensor 6 is arranged on the floor of the elevator car 1 . Load sensors 6 are provided corresponding to the aforementioned areas 3 a , 3 b , 3 c , 3 d , 3 e , 3 f , 3 g , and 3 h for detecting loads in the respective areas and supplying them to the input unit 12 .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 , the destination floor registration device 5 is installed at a position convenient for the passenger 2 to operate near the landing door on the elevator lobby side. For example, in order to get on the elevator car 1, the passenger 2 designates a destination floor by pressing the floor number button of the destination floor registration device 5, and then waits for the arrival of the elevator. In addition, in the case of pre-registering a destination floor on an IC card or the like, the destination floor registration device 5 may read the information stored in the IC card and provide the information on the destination floor to the input unit 12. .

As mentioned above, the area 3h shown in FIG. 3 is a passage area for passengers to get on and off the elevator, and is not used to guide passengers. For example, when a passenger whose destination floor is relatively far from the boarding floor gets into the elevator car 1, the area 3a or area 3c in the elevator car is irradiated with light by the guide lighting 4 in the car to guide the passenger 2. Thereafter, when a passenger whose destination floor is relatively close to the boarding floor gets into the elevator car 1, the area 3d or area 3e in the elevator car is irradiated with light by the guide lighting 4 in the car, and the passenger 2 is guided to the above-mentioned elevator car. area.

Here, the passengers whose destination floor is far away from the entry floor are concentrated in the area 3d and area 3e, and thereafter, passengers whose destination floor is relatively close to the entry floor may take the elevator. At this time, the guide lighting 4 in the car guides the passengers to the areas 3a to 3c where there are not many passengers, so that the passengers in the elevator car 1 can be properly distributed. In this case, passengers whose destination floor is closer to the boarding floor may stand on the inner side than passengers whose destination floor is farther away from the boarding floor, causing the destination floor to be closer to the boarding floor. Passengers who are closer cannot get off the elevator smoothly.

In this embodiment, as described above, since the area 3h is set as the passage area, even when the passengers guided to the area 3a to the area 3c get off the elevator car 1 before the passengers guided to the area 3d and the area 3e In the case of the elevator car 1, it can also move smoothly.

(3) Action of elevator passenger guidance device

The operation of the elevator passenger guidance device 10 will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 6 . As shown in FIG. 6, first, the destination floor is input into the input unit 12 by the destination floor registration device 5 (S101), and then the guidance area corresponding to the destination floor is determined by the judgment unit 13 (S102).

Specifically, in step S102, the determination unit 13 compares the destination floor input in step S101 with the boarding floor, and determines which of the areas shown in FIG. 3 to guide the passenger to. For example, when the destination floor is relatively far from the boarding floor, the areas 3a, 3b, and 3c behind the elevator car 1 are determined as guidance areas.

Then, the load data detected by the load sensor 6 is confirmed in the determination unit 13 (S103), and it is determined whether or not the guide area determined in the step S102 needs to be changed (S104). Specifically, the determination unit 13 checks whether the guidance area determined in step S102 is an area where the passengers 2 in the elevator car 1 gather, based on the load data. When it is determined that the guidance area determined in step S102 is an area where the passengers 2 gather, it is determined that it is necessary to change the guidance area.

When it is determined in step S104 that the guidance area needs to be changed, the determination unit 13 changes an area near the area determined in step S102 in which passengers 2 do not gather to the guidance area (S105). In step S104, when it is determined that it is not necessary to change the guide area, the processing of step 106 and subsequent steps is performed.

Thereafter, the guide unit 14 guides the passenger 2 by irradiating light to the guide area determined in step S102 or step S105 (S106).

(4) Effects of this embodiment

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a passenger gets into the elevator car 1, the passenger is guided to the guidance area in the elevator car 1 based on the destination floor designated by the passenger. Based on the load data detected by the load sensor 6 installed on the floor of the elevator car 1, when the load in the guidance area exceeds a certain value, the passenger is guided to another guidance area. Since the guide lighting 4 in the car is used to guide passengers to a prescribed guide area in the elevator car 1, there is no need to install a guide display in the elevator car 1, thereby enabling the user to control the interior of the elevator car 1 without affecting the appearance of the elevator car 1. Guide passengers to the appropriate area under the premise of safety. By setting the area for guiding passengers 2 to an area other than the vicinity of the center of the car, when passengers 2 guided to a predetermined area get off the elevator car 1, there is no need to squeeze out other passengers, thereby enabling Get off the elevator smoothly through the access area.
