Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator control device.

  Generally, the car operation panel installed in the elevator car is provided with a car call registration button (destination floor button) corresponding to each floor where the elevator can be stopped. That is, as the number of floors where the elevator can be stopped increases, the number of car call registration buttons provided on the car operation panel increases accordingly.

  In recent years, the number of building floors has been steadily increasing with the rise of buildings. As the number of building floors increases and the number of floors where the elevator can be stopped increases, as described above, the number of car call registration buttons installed on the car operation panel also increases. When the number of car call registration buttons increases, there is a problem that the car operation panel is increased in size and it becomes difficult for passengers to find the car call registration buttons on the destination floor.

  Therefore, in a conventional elevator, a ten key is installed on a car operation panel, and a passenger inputs destination floor information using this ten key (for example, see Patent Document 1). Thus, by using the ten-key car call registration buttons, the number of necessary buttons can be kept below a certain level even if the number of floors to be registered for call increases.

  However, in such a ten-key car operation panel, the registered car call registration floor cannot be displayed with the car call registration button itself. In view of this, there has been conventionally known a display in which a display device for displaying a destination floor that has already been registered for a car call is installed in the car together with a ten-key car operation panel (for example, Patent Document 2). reference).

JP 59-158772 A JP 58-172168 A

  In a general (not numeric keypad) car operation panel, a car call registration button is provided for each floor that can be stopped. Therefore, a plurality of passengers with different target destination floors can simultaneously register calls by operating the car call registration button. On the other hand, in the ten-key car operation panel described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 described above, only one person can perform a registration operation at a time. Therefore, when a plurality of passengers need to perform car call registration on the ten-key car operation panel, all passengers finish the call registration operation as compared with a car operation panel that is not a general ten-key system. Longer time is required.

  Here, in the conventional elevator control device, the door is automatically closed when a predetermined time has elapsed after the door is fully opened. If at least one call is registered when the door is closed, the car is departed toward the registered floor. Therefore, if the car starts running while several passengers perform car call registration operations in order on the numeric keypad car operation panel, the car has already passed the destination floor or has not passed. In both cases, when approaching the destination floor beyond the limit that can be safely stopped, even if a car call registration operation is performed on the destination floor, the operation becomes invalid.

  For example, in a high-rise building, when only call registration for a high-rise floor (for example, the 30th floor) is completed and the car departs from the entrance floor (for example, the first floor), the lower floor (for example, the fifth floor) is set as the destination floor during traveling Even if the car call registration operation is performed using the numeric keypad of the in-car operation panel, the operation may be invalidated in time depending on the position of the car as described above. When the car call registration operation is invalidated while the car is running, the passenger who has performed the operation cannot get off the destination floor.

  As described above, in a conventional elevator control device, the door is fully opened and the door is closed after a predetermined time has elapsed, and the car is left in response to a call that has already been registered. Then, with the ten-key car operation panel, only one car call registration operation can be performed at a time, and it takes time until the car call registration operation for all the destination floors is completed. For this reason, there is a possibility that passengers will run out of the car before completing the car call registration operation to the target destination floor and everyone will not be able to get off at the target destination floor. There is a problem that there is. In addition, since passengers who are forced to perform a car call registration operation while traveling are rushed, there is a problem that a large number of erroneous inputs are originally increased in a ten-key car operation panel.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and provides an elevator control device that can start a car after the car call registration necessary for the passenger is reliably completed. .

  In the elevator control device according to the present invention, a ten-key car operation panel installed in the elevator car and having a ten key for inputting a destination floor for call registration by operation by a passenger, and in the car Destination floor indicator that displays the destination floor of the car call that is installed and registered by operating the numeric keypad car operation panel, and the number of passengers that detects the number of passengers that have entered the car Detection means, notification means for notifying a passenger in the car when a passenger has entered the car, and a predetermined message for prompting a car call registration operation for the passenger in the car, and operation on the numeric keypad car operation panel Based on the contents, the number of passengers per destination floor for recognizing the number of passengers per destination floor, which is the number of passengers per destination floor of car call registration, and the number of passengers detecting means The number of passengers who have not yet registered a car call among passengers in the car based on the number of passengers detected by the means and the number of passengers per destination floor recognized by the destination floor When the car call unregistered number of people recognition means recognizes the car call unregistered number of people and the car call unregistered number of people recognition means recognizes at least one person, the departure of the car Car destination restriction means for limiting, and the destination floor indicator is recognized by the destination floor per passenger number recognition means and the car call unregistered number recognition means recognized by the destination floor per passenger number recognition means. The car call unregistered number is displayed.

  In the elevator control apparatus according to the present invention, the car can be started after the car call registration necessary for the passenger is reliably completed.

It is a front view of the destination floor indicator provided in the car which concerns on Embodiment 1 of this invention. It is a flowchart which shows operation | movement of the control apparatus of the elevator which concerns on Embodiment 1 of this invention. FIG. 4 is a flowchart continued from FIG. 3 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a flowchart continued from FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  The present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts, and redundant description thereof will be simplified or omitted as appropriate.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIGS. 1 to 5 relate to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing the overall configuration of an elevator control device, and FIG. 2 is a destination floor indicator provided in a passenger car. FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 are flowcharts showing the operation of the elevator control device.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a passenger car that is disposed in a hoistway (not shown) of an elevator so as to freely move up and down, and that lifts and lowers passengers in the hoistway. A numeric keypad car operation panel 2 is installed in the car 1. The numeric keypad operation panel 2 is provided with a numeric keypad for registering a call to a destination floor desired by each passenger in the car 1. Further, the numeric keypad car operation panel 2 is provided with a door opening button for the passenger in the car 1 to instruct to open the door, a door closing button for the passenger to instruct to close the door, and the like.

  In the numeric keypad portion of the numeric keypad car operation panel 2, numeric buttons from “0” to “9” for designating a desired floor number of the destination floor, and a call registration instruction to the inputted floor number are fixed. And a cancel button for canceling the input number in the state of being input (before determination).

  The car 1 is provided with passenger number detecting means 3 for detecting the number of passengers who have entered the car 1. The passenger number detection means 3 is, for example, a detection result of a scale device (weight sensor) provided under the floor of the car 1, and an image recognition result based on an image photographed by a camera device installed in the car 1. In addition, the number of passengers who have entered the car 1 is detected by using one or two or more of the detection results of door sensors installed on the door (door) of the car 1.

  An announcement device 4 is provided in the car 1. The announcement device 4 is constituted by a speaker or the like, and sounds a predetermined voice message to notify passengers in the car 1.

  The overall operation of the elevator including the operation of the car 1 is controlled by the control panel 5. That is, for example, information related to operations performed on the numeric keypad car operation panel 2 is transmitted to the control panel 5, and the control panel 5 performs call registration and the like according to the operation information. Further, when a certain time has elapsed since the control panel 5 has stopped at a certain floor, the door is closed and the car 1 starts from the stop floor. Then, in response to call registration (car call and hall call), control such as driving the car 1 to each destination floor is performed. The contents of the announcement made by the announcement device 4 are also controlled by the control panel 5.

  A destination floor display 6 is installed in the car 1. The configuration of the destination floor display 6 is shown in FIG. The destination floor display 6 is roughly divided into a message display section 6a, a car call unregistered number display section 6b, and a destination floor display section 6c. The destination floor display section 6c is further divided into a registered floor display section 6d and a destination floor passenger number display section 6e.

The message display unit 6a displays a predetermined text message and notifies the passengers in the car 1.
The car call unregistered number display section 6b displays car call unregistered number information indicating the number of passengers in the car 1 who have not yet registered the car call.

  The registered floor display section 6d of the destination floor display section 6c displays the destination floor of the car call that has already been registered by operating the numeric keypad car operation panel 2. The number of passengers per destination floor display section 6e of the destination floor display section 6c displays the number of passengers for the destination floor for each destination floor displayed in the registered floor display section 6d. The destination floor display section 6c can display a plurality of sets of registered floor display section 6d and destination floor passenger number display section 6e related to a certain destination floor. FIG. 2 shows an example in which 10 sets of registered floor display section 6d and destination floor passenger number display section 6e can be displayed.

  And this destination floor display part 6c is a touch panel, and can operate with respect to each of the displayed destination floors of the registered car call. That is, if the destination floor desired by the passenger in the car 1 is already displayed on the registered floor display unit 6d, the passenger can touch the registered floor display unit 6d of the destination floor. Thus, it is possible to indicate to the elevator side that the user desires the destination floor. When the registered floor display unit 6d is touch-operated, the number of passengers displayed on the destination floor number-of-passengers display unit 6e paired with the touched registered floor display unit 6d is increased by one. The The destination floor display unit 6c is not a touch panel type, but may be a combination of a display unit and operation buttons.

In the control panel 5 for controlling the operation of the elevator configured as described above, there is a destination floor per passenger number recognition means, a destination floor display control means, a car call unregistered number recognition means, a car departure restriction means and a message notification means. Is provided.
The number of passengers per destination floor recognition means recognizes the number of passengers per destination floor, which is the number of passengers for the destination floor, for each registered destination floor of the car call. The number of passengers per destination floor is recognized based on the operation performed on the ten-key car operation panel 2 and the operation performed on the destination floor display unit 6c of the destination floor display 6.

  The destination floor display control means controls the display of the destination floor display section 6c of the destination floor display 6 based on the number of passengers per destination floor recognized by the destination floor per passenger number recognition means. That is, the destination floor display control means causes the registered floor display unit 6d to display a destination floor in which the number of passengers per destination floor recognized by the destination floor per passenger number recognition means is not zero (one or more). Then, for each destination floor displayed on the registered floor display unit 6d, the number of passengers per destination floor is displayed on the destination floor per passenger display unit 6e.

  The car call unregistered number of persons recognition means is based on the number of passengers in the car 1 as a result of detection by the number of passengers detection means 3, and the number of passengers per destination floor recognized by the number of passengers per destination floor. The number of people who have not yet registered the car call among the passengers in the car 1 is recognized. Specifically, the car call unregistered number of persons is obtained by subtracting the sum of the number of passengers per destination floor for all destination floors from the number of passengers. The car call unregistered number of people recognized by the car call unregistered number of people recognition means is displayed in the car call unregistered number of people display section 6b of the destination floor display 6.

  When the car 1 is stopped on a certain stop floor, and the car call unregistered number of persons recognized by the car call unregistered number recognition means is not 0, the car departure restriction means Car departure restriction is performed to restrict the departure of the car 1. More specifically, the car departure restriction is performed by setting an upper limit time to a time for restricting the car 1 not to leave. That is, when the number of unregistered car calls is not zero, the car departure restriction means does not leave the car 1 from the stop floor until a predetermined upper limit time elapses in principle. When the upper limit time elapses, the car departure restriction is canceled and the car 1 is started.

This upper limit time is changed according to the number of passengers detected by the number of passengers detecting means 3. That is, as the number of passengers increases, the time required for all passengers to complete the car call registration operation will increase. Therefore, the upper limit time increases as the number of passengers increases.
Further, the car departure restriction means cancels the car departure restriction when a predetermined operation is performed even within the upper limit time, for example, when the door closing button of the numeric keypad car operation panel 2 is operated. Then leave the car 1.

  The message notifying means, in a predetermined case, by sounding a voice message from the announcement device 4 or displaying a text message on the message display section 6a of the destination floor display 6, The passenger in the car 1 is informed. Here, the predetermined message in a predetermined case is, for example, a message that prompts all passengers to be called after a passenger gets on the car 1 and calls a registration operation, or a car call in the car 1 There is a message that prompts a call registration operation that is issued when there are unregistered passengers.

In this embodiment, the elevator control device operates according to a series of flows shown in FIGS.
First, while the car 1 is traveling, the control panel 5 defines various variables used for subsequent control in step S1. Pon is the number of passengers who have entered the car 1 detected by the passenger number detection means 3, that is, the number of passengers. Prest is the number of unregistered car calls recognized by the car call unregistered number recognizing means of the control panel 5. Pfl (n) is the number of passengers (the number of passengers per destination floor relative to the nth floor) whose nth floor is recognized by the destination floor per passenger number recognition means of the control panel 5. Here, n is a number indicating a floor where the elevator car 1 can be stopped, and is generally an integer value excluding 0 (a negative number indicates an underground floor).

  Noff is the stop floor, that is, the floor on which the control panel 5 has decided (stop decided) to stop the car 1 next. Nten is a floor (referred to as “registered floor”) designated as a destination floor for car call registration by an operation on the numeric keypad car operation panel 2. Nind is an operation on the destination floor display 6, that is, a floor ("operation floor") displayed on the registered floor display 6d where the destination floor display 6c of the destination floor display 6 is touched. It is said).

  If the control panel 5 decides to stop while the car 1 is traveling in the subsequent step S2, the process proceeds to step S3. Here, the traveling of the car 1 means that the car 1 is traveling in response to the car call registration or the hall call registration by the fully automatic operation at the normal time. Accordingly, during operation in other cases, it is not included in the running as described in the flow charts of FIGS. For example, it is not included while the car 1 is traveling by manual operation.

  In step S3, the control panel 5 acquires the stop floor “Noff” floor that has been determined to stop. In step S4, when the car 1 arrives at the stop floor “Noff” floor and is open in the door zone, the process proceeds to step S5.

  In this step S5, it is determined that a passenger will be generated when the car 1 stops on the stop floor “Noff” and opens, and the next operation is performed. That is, first, if there is a passenger getting off at the stop floor, the stop floor should be displayed on the destination floor display section 6c of the destination floor display 6. Therefore, the destination floor display control means of the control panel 5 erases the display of the registered floor display section 6d displaying the stop floor “Noff” floor in the destination floor display section 6c of the destination floor display 6. Then, the display of the number-of-passengers on the destination floor displaying the number of passengers “Pfl (Noff)” on the erased “Noff” floor is also erased. In addition, when there are passengers to the stop floor, all the passengers should get off at the stop floor, so the means for recognizing the number of passengers on the destination floor of the control panel 5 goes to the stop floor “Noff” floor. The number of passengers “Pfl (Noff)” is reset to zero. That is, 0 is substituted for Pfl (Noff).

  In subsequent step S6, the car departure limiting means of the control panel 5 sets an upper limit time to limit the departure of the car 1 from the stop floor. At the time of this step S6, the upper limit time is set until a non-interference time that is a predetermined fixed time elapses after the door is fully opened in response to the car call or the hall call. Then, in the next step S7, the control panel 5 confirms whether or not a passenger has newly entered the car 1 on the stop floor based on the detection result by the passenger number detection means 3.

  In step S7, when a passenger who newly gets on the car 1 occurs on the stop floor, the process proceeds to step S8. In addition, it is thought that the case where the passenger who newly boarded to the car 1 generate | occur | produced in the said stop floor is a case where the hall call was registered in the said stop floor. In step S8, first, the message notifying means of the control panel 5 causes the announcement device 4 to ring a message for encouraging passengers in the car 1 to register a car call, and also displays a message display section of the destination floor display 6. 6a is displayed. As a specific example of the message for encouraging car call registration at this time, for example, “please enter a destination” or “touch the destination floor” can be considered.

  Further, the control panel 5 acquires the number of passengers “Pon” on the stop floor from the detection result of the passenger number detection means 3. Then, since the passengers who have occurred on the stop floor are not registered in the car call, the car call unregistered number of people recognition means of the control panel 5 is connected to the current number of car call unregistered persons “Prest”. Add “Pon” people. That is, Prest + Pon is substituted for Prest. Note that the initial value of Prest is 0.

  Furthermore, in order to inform the passengers themselves that there are passengers who are not registered in the car call, the control panel 5 displays the calculated car call unregistered number of persons “Prest” in the car call unregistered number display part 6b of the destination floor display 6. “Show people. Further, the car departure limiting means of the control panel 5 changes the upper limit time for limiting the car departure according to the number of passengers generated on the stop floor. Specifically, for example, a table in which a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) per passenger is added to the non-interference time is set as the upper limit time, or a table in which the upper limit time is set in advance for the number of passengers is prepared. You may do it.

  After step 8 in FIG. 3, “C” in the figure is reached, and the process proceeds to step S <b> 9 in FIG. 4. In step S9, the control panel 5 confirms whether or not the numeric keypad car operation panel 2 (the numeric keypad) is operated. If the numeric keypad operation panel 2 is operated, the process proceeds to step S10.

  In step S <b> 10, first, the control panel 5 acquires the registered floor “Nten” designated as the destination floor for car call registration by operating the numeric keypad car operation panel 2. Then, since one passenger has completed the car call registration, the car call unregistered number recognition means of the control panel 5 subtracts one from the current car call unregistered number “Prest”. That is, Prest-1 is substituted for Prest. Since the car call unregistered number has changed, the control panel 5 updates the display of the car call unregistered number display unit 6b of the destination floor display 6 to the calculated car call unregistered number of persons “Prest”.

  In addition, since one passenger bound for the “Nten” floor is generated, the number of passengers per destination floor recognition means of the control panel 5 is the number of passengers “Pfl (Nten)” whose destination floor is the “Nten” floor. Add one person to a person. That is, Pfl (Nten) +1 is substituted for Pfl (Nten).

  In the subsequent step S11, the destination floor display control means of the control panel 5 checks whether or not the “Nten” floor is already displayed as the destination floor on the destination floor display section 6c of the destination floor display 6. If the “Nten” floor is already displayed on the destination floor display section 6c, the process proceeds to step S12. In this step S12, since the number of passengers “Pfl (Nten)” who have the “Nten” floor as the destination floor has changed, the destination floor display control means of the control panel 5 uses the “ The number of passengers whose destination floor is the latest “Nten” floor is the number of passengers “Pfl” displayed on the destination floor every passenger number display section 6e paired with the registered floor display section 6d displaying the “Nten” floor. (Nten) Update to “people”.

  On the other hand, if the “Nten” floor is not yet displayed on the destination floor display unit 6c, the process proceeds to step S13. In this step S13, the destination floor display control means of the control panel 5 newly displays the “Nten” floor on the registered floor display portion 6d in the destination floor display portion 6c. In addition, the number of passengers “Pfl (Nten)” whose destination floor is the “Nten” floor is displayed on the newly displayed registered floor display section 6 d and the destination floor passenger number display section 6 e. indicate.

  After steps S12 and S13, the process proceeds to “D” in the figure. If the numeric keypad operation panel 2 is not operated in step S9, “D” in the figure is reached without going through steps S10 to S13. When “D” in the figure is reached, the process proceeds to step S14 in FIG.

  In step S14, the control panel 5 confirms whether or not the destination floor display 6 (the destination floor display section 6c) has been operated. If the destination floor display 6 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S15. In this step S15, first, the control panel 5 acquires the operation floor “Nind” displayed on the registered floor display section 6d where the operation on the destination floor display 6 has been performed. Then, since one passenger has completed the car call registration, the car call unregistered number recognition means of the control panel 5 subtracts one from the current car call unregistered number “Prest”. That is, Prest-1 is substituted for Prest. Since the car call unregistered number has changed, the control panel 5 updates the display of the car call unregistered number display unit 6b of the destination floor display 6 to the calculated car call unregistered number of persons “Prest”.

  Further, since one passenger bound for the “Nind” floor has occurred, the number of passengers on the destination floor of the control panel 5 recognizes the number of passengers “Pfl (Nind)” whose destination floor is the “Nind” floor. Add one person to a person. That is, Pfl (Nind) +1 is substituted for Pfl (Nind). Since the number of passengers “Pfl (Nind)” who have the “Nind” floor as the destination floor is changing, the destination floor display control means of the control panel 5 has the “Nind” floor in the destination floor display section 6c. The number of passengers “Pfl (Nind)” whose destination is the latest “Nind” floor is the number of passengers displayed in the registered floor display portion 6d and the number of passengers displayed on the destination floor 6e. Update to people.

  Here, the operation floor “Nind” floor inputted by operating the destination floor display 6 is only the floor already registered as the destination floor of the car call. Therefore, if there is a time difference between the operation of the destination floor display 6 and the change of the display of the destination floor display 6 by the display command from the control panel 5, the operation is performed inside the destination floor display 6. Immediately after that, the number of persons displayed on the destination floor per passenger number display section 6e may be changed. In this case, the destination floor display 6 receives a display command related to the display change from the control panel 5 after the display change. By doing so, it is possible to eliminate the apparent time difference from the operation to the display change.

  In the subsequent step S16, the control panel 5 confirms whether or not the number of car call unregistered persons “Prest” is 0 or less at this time. If the car call unregistered number “Prest” is 0 or less, it is determined that all passengers who have boarded the car 1 have completed the car call registration, and the process proceeds to step S18. In this step S18, the car departure restriction means of the control panel 5 releases the car departure restriction so that it is determined that more than the upper limit time has passed since the car has been fully opened. Change the upper limit time or the value of the elapsed time counter since the car was fully opened. Specifically, for example, the upper limit time is set to 0, or the value of the elapsed time counter is forcibly set to the upper limit time or more. Then, the process proceeds to step S19.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S16 that the number of cars not registered “Prest” is not less than 0, the process proceeds to step S17. In step S17, the control panel 5 confirms whether or not the door closing button of the numeric keypad car operation panel 2 has been operated. If the door close button has been operated, the process proceeds to step S18, and in order to cancel the car departure restriction, the upper limit time or the elapsed time since the car has been opened so that it is determined that the upper limit time has elapsed since the car has been fully opened After the value of the time counter is changed, the process proceeds to step S19. If the door closing button is not operated in step S17, the process proceeds to step S19 without going through step S18 (without changing the departure time limit).

  In addition, when the door closing button is operated in this step S17, there is a possibility that there is a passenger who wants to register a car call but is incomplete. Thus, instead of proceeding immediately to step S18 and changing the departure limit of the car to be immediately invalidated, the process may proceed to step S18 when the door closing button is operated a predetermined number of times. Alternatively, the upper limit time may be shortened (or the elapsed time counter is advanced) by the time corresponding to the number of times the door closing button has been operated.

  Here, when returning to step S7 in FIG. 3, if the stop to the stop floor responds only to the car call, only the passengers get off at the stop floor and no passengers are generated. it is conceivable that. In step S7 of FIG. 3, if no passenger has newly entered the car 1 on the stop floor, the process proceeds from step S7 to “B” in the figure and proceeds to step S17. Then, the process proceeds to step S19 through or without step S18 depending on whether or not the door open button is operated.

  In step S19, the car departure limiting means of the control panel 5 checks whether or not a predetermined upper limit time has elapsed since the car was fully opened. If step S18 is executed before step S19, it should be determined in step S19 that the upper limit time has elapsed since the car was fully opened. If the upper limit time has elapsed since the car was fully opened, the process proceeds to step S20. On the other hand, if the upper limit time has not elapsed since the car was fully opened, the process reaches “A” in the figure and returns to step S6 in FIG.

  In step S20, the car call unregistered number recognition means of the control panel 5 sets (resets) the car call unregistered number of people “Prest” to zero. Then, the control panel 5 erases the display of the number “Prest” of the car call unregistered number displayed in the car call unregistered number display part 6 b of the destination floor display 6. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S21, in which the car departure restriction means of the control panel 5 releases the departure restriction of the car 1 and permits the departure, and the control board 5 starts traveling of the car 1. Thereafter, the car 1 is in a traveling state, and the process returns to step S1 in FIG.

  In the above, the destination floor display section 6c of the destination floor display 6 for displaying the destination floor registered for the call is used as a touch panel, and a passenger desiring the destination floor registered for call is displayed with the desired destination floor. The embodiment has been described in which the number of registered car calls is counted by touching the registered floor display section 6d of the destination floor display section 6c.

  However, as can be seen from the above description of the flowchart of FIG. 4 in particular, a passenger who desires a destination floor that has already been registered can operate the numeric keypad of the numeric keypad car operation panel 2 without operating the destination floor display 6. By doing so, it is possible to count as the number of registered car calls. Therefore, the destination floor display 6 is not necessarily a touch panel type, and may have only a function of displaying the number of unregistered cars, the registered floors, the number of passengers for each registered floor, and the like. In this case, all passengers perform a car call registration operation on the numeric keypad car operation panel 2 regardless of whether or not a call to the destination floor desired by the passenger has been registered.

  The elevator control device configured as described above is installed in the car, and there is a destination floor indicator that displays the destination floor of the car call that has been registered by operating the numeric keypad car operation panel, and in the car. Passenger number detection means for detecting the number of passengers who have been on board, and when a passenger has entered the car, a predetermined message prompting the passenger in the car to perform a car call registration operation is notified. Recognize the number of passengers on each destination floor, which is the number of passengers on each destination floor of the car call registration, based on the message display part of the announcement device and destination floor display, which are the notification means, and the operation details on the numeric keypad car operation panel The number of passengers who have not yet registered a car call among passengers in the car based on the means for recognizing the number of passengers per destination floor and the number of passengers and the number of passengers per destination floor A car call unregistered number recognizing means and a car departure restricting means for restricting the departure of the car when the number of unregistered car calls is one or more. The number of passengers and the number of cars not registered are displayed.

  The passenger can know the registration status of the car call by the passenger from the display content of the destination floor display, and performs the call registration operation according to the notification content. Therefore, the car can be departed after the car call registration necessary for the passenger is completed. For this reason, the passenger is not forced to perform a car call registration operation while traveling, and the occurrence of erroneous input can be reduced.

  In addition, the destination floor indicator can be operated for each of the displayed registered car call destination floors, and the destination floor passenger number recognizing means is in addition to the operation contents on the numeric keypad car operation panel. In addition, the number of passengers per destination floor is recognized based on the operation details on the destination floor display. Therefore, a passenger who has already registered a call to his / her desired destination floor can perform the operation with one touch without operating the ten-key car operation panel.
