Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator apparatus, and more particularly to an elevator apparatus that broadcasts guidance to passengers in a car.

  Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-180688 (Patent Document 1) describes that a passenger who has entered a car forgets to register a car call and prevents the car from leaving in the direction opposite to the destination floor. There is something that was done. In this patent document, in response to a hall call in the same direction as the car call and the traveling direction of the car and responding to the final call in turn, the elevator that reverses the traveling direction responds to the hall call and opens the door. Means for detecting the passage of time, and means for notifying the passengers in the car that the car call is registered if the car call in the hall call direction that has responded is not registered after the detection means detects a predetermined time. An elevator control device is described.

JP-A-63-180688

  In Patent Document 1, after a door is opened, when a predetermined time elapses in a state where a car call in the hall call direction that has responded is not registered, the passenger in the car is prompted to register the car call. A hall call from a user on another floor may be registered in a state where a car call in the hall call direction that has responded is not registered. Patent Document 1 does not consider such a case. Therefore, in Patent Document 1, a guidance broadcast that prompts registration of a car call is made after a predetermined time regardless of whether there is a hall call in the opposite direction to the traveling direction of the car (the hall call direction by the passengers in the car). become. If the hall call direction of the user on the other floor is the same direction as the direction of travel of the car, or if the hall call by another floor is not registered, the car call registration for the passengers in the car is unified. The prompting may cause annoyance to passengers in the car.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator apparatus that can prevent a car from departing in a direction opposite to a passenger's destination floor without generally performing guidance broadcasting to passengers in the car. .

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides another hall call in a direction opposite to the driving direction according to the hall call of the passenger when the passenger who has entered the car by calling the hall call is not registered in the car call. Is registered, another hall call is temporarily held and a guidance broadcast is made to prompt passengers in the car to register the car call.

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the car from leaving in the direction opposite to the passenger's destination floor without unifying guidance broadcasting to passengers in the car.
Problems, configurations, and effects other than those described above will be clarified by the following description of embodiments.

It is a schematic block diagram which shows one Example of the elevator apparatus of this invention. It is a flowchart which shows the process sequence in one Example of the elevator apparatus of this invention.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of an elevator apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
A general elevator device includes a car that is guided up and down by a car-side guide rail, a counter-weight that is guided up and down by a counterweight-side guide rail, and a main rope that connects between the car and the counterweight. And a hoisting machine for driving the main rope. In the elevator apparatus according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a hall button 1 that is installed at each hall of the building and registers a hall call, and a destination floor that is installed in the car 2 and registers a car call. The control button 4 for controlling the operation of the car 2 and the door opening / closing control of the car 2 based on the registered hall call and car call, and the guidance broadcast to the passengers in the car 2 A broadcasting device 5 and a passenger detection device 6 such as a load sensor for detecting the presence or absence of a passenger in the car 2 are provided. In addition, the elevator apparatus of a present Example is suitable when controlling the operation of one elevator instead of the group management elevator apparatus which controls the operation of several elevators.

Next, the control content of the operation in the elevator apparatus of a present Example is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 2, when starting, as a procedure S1, an initialization routine for clearing various data in the memory and a data set is first executed, and then, as a procedure S2, the operation processing routine is entered. In this operation processing routine, the driving direction of the car 2 is selected according to the registration of the hall call and the car call, the car 2 is driven toward the registration floor, the vehicle is decelerated according to the deceleration command, and the vehicle is landed. A normal elevator operation such as outputting a door open signal from is performed.

  When this operation processing routine is performed, for example, the user wants to go from the 5th floor to the 1st floor, which is the reference floor, using an elevator, and a landing in the descending direction installed on the 5th floor landing The button 1 is operated to register the hall call. When this hall call is registered, if the car 2 is located on a floor other than the fifth floor, the car 2 moves to the fifth floor and responds to the landing as shown in step S3. Open the door. When the user gets into the car 2, the passenger detection device 6 detects that there is a passenger in the car 2 as step S4. At this time, the elevator is in the downward direction of the car according to the operation of the landing button 1 in the downward direction of the fifth floor floor.

  Thereafter, in a state where the passenger in the car 2 does not operate the destination floor registration button 3 for some reason, for example, another user operates the landing button 1 in the downward direction at the landing on the 10th floor, Suppose a hall call is registered. When the hall call by the other user is registered, the control device 4 performs the first hall call (the landing in the descending direction on the fifth floor) in a state where passengers in the car 2 are detected as step S5. When the car operation direction corresponding to the hall call by the button 1, that is, the downward car call is not registered, it is determined that the reverse hall call direction, that is, the upward hall call is registered. In this embodiment, the reverse hall call of the later generation (the hall call by the hall button 1 in the downward direction on the 10th floor / the 5th floor to the 10th floor which is opposite to the car call in the downward direction from the 5th floor) Responding to a hall call in the direction of ascending to the floor) is suspended for a predetermined time (for example, suspended for a few seconds), and a car call is registered to passengers in the car 2 via the broadcasting device 5 as shown in step S6. Broadcasting guidance. The starting point of the predetermined time is, for example, the time when a late hall call in the reverse direction is registered or the time when the guidance broadcast ends.

  When the passenger in the car 2 operates the desired destination floor registration button 3 on the desired first floor within a predetermined time and registers a car call in response to the guidance broadcast, the control device 4 responds to the car call. Drive the car 2 toward the first floor. At this time, the hall call registered on the 10th floor is stored as the next call, and is accepted after the car 2 has landed on the 1st floor and the car driving direction has been switched.

  On the other hand, if the passengers in the car 2 do not operate the destination floor registration button 3 and register a car call within a predetermined time, the control device 4 switches the car driving direction from the descending direction to the ascending direction. The car 2 is driven according to the hall call registered in the above. This prevents the operation efficiency of the elevator from decreasing.

  In addition, although the hall call was registered and the car 2 was called, the user did not get into the car 2 for some reason, and there were no passengers in the car 2, or passengers in the car 2 registered the destination floor. Although the state in which the operation of the button 3 is not continued continues, in the situation where the hall call on the other floors is not registered, the broadcast broadcast is not broadcast by the broadcasting device 5. Further, in this embodiment, when the hall call on the other floor is in the same direction as the car driving direction according to the previous hall call, for example, in the above example, another user can use the hall on the fourth floor. Even when the hall button 1 is registered by operating the hall button 1 in the downward direction, the broadcasting device 5 does not play a guidance broadcast.

  As described above, in this embodiment, after the door is opened in response to the hall call, when the passenger in the car 2 is detected, the car call in the car driving direction corresponding to the hall call is not registered. In response to registration of the hall call in the direction opposite to the car driving direction, this reverse direction hall call is put on hold for a predetermined time, and a guidance broadcast is performed so as to register the car call to passengers in the car 2. . Therefore, in this embodiment, it can be said that the guidance broadcast that prompts the passenger to register a car call is minimized, and the passenger can be prevented from feeling annoyed.

  Further, by registering the car call prompted by the guidance broadcast, it is possible to prevent the car from leaving in the direction opposite to the passenger's destination floor. In addition, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the passenger feels awkward by riding with another passenger in the car 2 that has been driven in the opposite direction. Further, by preventing the car from leaving in the direction opposite to the passenger's destination floor, it is possible to reduce useless driving and improve driving efficiency.

  Furthermore, the subsequent reverse hall call is put on hold only for a predetermined time, and there is no inconvenience for the passenger who made the hall call to re-register by operating the landing button again. That is, if there is no car call registration by passengers in the car after a predetermined time has passed, control corresponding to the hall call that has been put on hold is performed (in the above example, the car 2 goes to the 10th floor. And move in the upward direction, and the door will open according to the landing). In addition, although the hall call was registered and the car 2 was called, the user did not get into the car 2 for some reason, and there was no passenger in the car 2, and the subsequent reverse hall call was registered. In this case, the subsequent hall call is not put on hold, and control corresponding to the hall call is performed.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to an above-described Example, Various modifications are included. For example, the above-described embodiments have been described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention, and are not necessarily limited to those having all the configurations described. Further, a part of the configuration of one embodiment can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment, and the configuration of another embodiment can be added to the configuration of one embodiment. Moreover, it is possible to add, delete, and replace other configurations for a part of the configuration of each embodiment.
