Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an elevator landing lighting system for an elevator hall on each floor in a building in which a plurality of elevators are arranged side by side, and in particular, a lighting system for elevator halls for waiting customers in the elevator hall. The present invention relates to an elevator landing lighting device that displays an elevator arrival forecast and a layout indicating which elevator will arrive in the elevator.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Generally, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, in a hall 2 where a large number of elevators 1 are arranged side by side in elevators on each floor, waiting customers may be confused as to which elevator they should wait in front of, so each elevator 1 A hall lantern 4 is provided near the top of each hall door 3 as a hall display device, and a hall lantern 4 is provided as a hall display device in the vicinity of the top of the hall door 3.
In response to the call, the hall lantern 4 corresponding to the arriving elevator lights up or flashes to display an arrival forecast. In other words, the above-mentioned hall lantern 4 informs waiting customers which elevator out of all the elevators will arrive, and guides the waiting customers to the elevator landing. It is becoming more and more important. In the figure, 7 is a counterweight, and 8 is a hoistway wall.

However, when there are a large number of elevators as shown in Figure 4 above, the passengers waiting for the arrival of the elevator in the elevator hall are
I had to look around to see if the light was on, and the waiting passengers in particular tended to not pay enough attention to the elevator 1 towards the back, and by the time I noticed it, the elevator landing door 3 was just about to close, and I hurriedly jumped on it. Occasionally, people get caught in the door 3 or get stuck in it.

In addition, the hall lantern 4 itself is usually made of acrylic material, and although it looks good when viewed from the front, it is difficult to confirm the lighting status when viewed diagonally or from the side, and the hall lantern 4 itself is small due to its design. For this reason, there has been a drawback in that waiting passengers in the center or at the ends of the elevator hall 2 have difficulty checking that the hall lanterns 4 of elevators located far away are lit and end up passing the elevator.

(Purpose of the Invention) This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and allows passengers waiting for an elevator to arrive in an elevator hall with a large number of parallel elevators to quickly and clearly confirm which elevator will arrive. To provide an elevator landing lighting device that allows passengers to ride an elevator with peace of mind without looking around or getting lost, preventing confusion among waiting customers, and improving service.

[Summary of the invention]

The elevator lighting device of the present invention can be used in an elevator ball in a building where a plurality of elevators are installed in parallel.
A lighting section is installed to illuminate the area in front of each elevator hall with different illuminance or color from the surrounding area depending on the operation status of each elevator, so that customers waiting for an elevator in the elevator hall can be informed which elevator will arrive. This makes it possible to clearly see what is going on without being overlooked or confused.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Components in the figure that have the same configuration as those in FIGS. 3 and 4 are given the same reference numerals to simplify the explanation. Here, 9 in the figure is the upper ceiling of the elevator hall 2, and the ceiling 9 is provided with a general lighting fixture 10. A downlight 11 serving as a lighting fixture is provided at each landing of each elevator 1 on the ceiling 9 and located directly above the landing. Each of the downlights 1 to 11 has an individual luminance higher than that of the general lighting fixture 10 on the ceiling 9 that does not illuminate the entire elevator hall 2, and the illumination of the downlight 11 lights up a virtual area in front of the elevator hall directly below each of the downlights 1 to 11. The area A indicated by the lines can be illuminated much brighter than the surrounding areas. Further, each of the downlights 11 is turned on according to the operating status of the corresponding elevator 1. That is, the elevator hall 2
After a waiting customer presses the elevator hall call button 5, when the elevator number that will respond to the call is determined, the lanterns are simultaneously positioned directly above the elevator of that number, in the same way as the hall lantern 4 described above. Downline 1 to 11 lights up. FIG. 2 shows a simple electrical circuit for each downline 1-11.
11 is connected in series with the arrival forecast or allocation confirmation relay contact 13, so that the downlight 11 lights up when the elevator concerned is waiting for the elevator ball 2.

If the above 1ffl elevator hall lighting system is used, normally the entire elevator hall is uniformly illuminated by the general lighting equipment 1o, and the elevator hall 2 is illuminated uniformly by the general lighting equipment 1o.
When the waiting passenger presses the hall call button 5 and the elevator number that will respond to the call is determined, the hall lantern 4 corresponding to Aoi's = +i elevator - and the downlight 11 directly above it light up. ,
The area A in front of the elevator landing directly below it is illuminated much brighter than the surrounding area. Since the passengers waiting in the elevator hall 2 instantly notice this lighting, they can quickly and reliably determine which elevator will arrive in response to a call out of a large number of elevators, and display the arrival forecast and allocation. Follow the directions and wait in front of the elevator landing.
You will be able to safely board the elevator that has landed without getting lost or panicking. In particular, even waiting customers near the end of the elevator hall 2, where there are many elevators 1, can reliably judge which elevator will arrive, and even if an elevator arrives behind the waiting customers, the illumination of the downlines 1 to 71 will allow them to predict the arrival elevator. You can easily notice and check it, and you won't have to miss the elevator.

The elevator landing lighting device of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments; for example, the downlights 1 to 11 at the arriving elevator may be made to blink, and the downlight 11 may be made to blink. It may also be colored so that it is illuminated in a color that is different from the surroundings. Furthermore, the downlight 11 may be provided at the lower part of the upper curtain plate of the elevator hall door 3, in addition to the ceiling 9.

Also, in place of the down lies 1 to 11 described above, a spot lie l- (not shown) is provided in the center of the elevator hall,
It is also possible to move the direction of the light so that it shines a spot on each elevator landing.

In addition, it is also possible to use a general lighting equipment and a downlight l~ to change the illuminance in front of each elevator landing using a dimmer, and in this case, instead of lighting up the front of the elevator landing brighter than the surrounding area, It may be made darker than the surrounding area.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention is made as described above, a passenger waiting for the arrival of an elevator at the elevator shaft of a large number of parallel elevators can quickly and clearly confirm whether the elevator has arrived or not. Elevator landing lighting system that allows you to ride the elevator with confidence without looking around or getting lost, prevents confusion among waiting passengers, and improves service.
