  A power switch 34 (to be described later) is attached to one side surface (the right side in FIG. 2) of the lateral surfaces forming the peripheral wall portion 32 a of the cover 32. When the power switch 34 is turned off as described later, the power supply from the battery 38 (FIG. 5) to the control unit 39 (FIG. 5) is cut off to suppress power consumption.

  The actuator set 35 includes an upper actuator 36 and a lower actuator 37. As shown in FIG. 4, the upper actuator 36 includes a box-shaped case 36 a, a coil 36 b that is fixed inside the opening end on the back side of the case 36 a, an upper pressing portion 36 c that is disposed inside the coil 36 b, And a spring 36d. A front side end portion (left end portion in FIG. 4) of the case 36 a is fitted and fixed in the upper hole 32 d in the top plate portion 32 b of the cover 32.

  The upper pressing portion 36c is formed in a pin shape from a magnetic material such as iron. The upper pressing portion 36c has a hemispherical tip facing the pressing surface (the left side surface in FIG. 4) of the upper landing button 23, and can press the upper landing button 23. The upper pressing portion 36 c may be guided by a guide portion (not shown) so as to be movable along the left-right direction in FIG. 4, which is the pressing direction of the upper landing button 23.

  The spring 36d is coupled to the front side end of the upper pressing portion 36c and biases the upper pressing portion 36c so as to pull it toward the front side of the case 36a. At this time, the spring 36d applies a biasing force in the contracting direction. The coil 36b forms an electromagnet when energized by a control unit 39 from a battery 38 (FIG. 5), which will be described later, attracts the upper pressing portion 36c, and the upper landing button 23 is illustrated by the tip of the upper pressing portion 36c. 4 is pushed to the right side.

  The lower actuator 37 includes a case 37a, a coil 37b, a lower pressing portion 37c, and a spring 37d. The case 37a, the coil 37b, and the spring 37d of the lower actuator 37 are the same as those of the upper actuator 36. The lower pressing portion 37c is the same as the upper pressing portion 36c of the upper actuator 36. The front side end portion of the case 37 a of the lower actuator 37 is fixed by being fitted into the lower hole 32 d of the top plate portion 32 b of the cover 32. The coil 36b of the lower actuator 37 attracts the lower pressing portion 37c when energized from the battery 38 (FIG. 5), and presses the lower landing button 24 to the right side in FIG. 4 by the tip of the lower pressing portion 37c.

  Each of the springs 36d and 37d may be a spring that applies a biasing force in the extending direction. For example, the upper spring 36d is a spring provided between a plate portion coupled to the front end portion of the upper pressing portion 36c and the coil 36b, and an urging force is applied to the upper pressing portion 36c in a direction in which the spring extends. At this time, the upper pressing portion 36c is pulled to the front side of the case 36a by a spring.

  The control unit 39 is disposed between the cases 36a and 37a of the upper actuator 36 and the lower actuator 37 in the vertical direction, and is fixed to the back surface (the left side surface in FIG. 4) of the top plate portion 32b. The control unit 39 includes a microcomputer (not shown) having a storage unit such as a CPU and a memory. The control unit 39 further includes a power supply circuit unit (not shown) that selectively supplies power from the battery 38 (FIG. 5) to the coils 36b and 37b of the upper actuator 36 and the lower actuator 37.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 39 is connected to the battery 38 via the power switch 34. The battery 38 is held by a battery mounting portion (not shown) fixed inside the cover 32 (FIG. 2). As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a cover portion 32 e is detachably attached to the peripheral wall portion 32 a of the cover 32 so as to face the battery attachment portion. The inner battery 38 can be replaced by removing the lid 32e. Thereby, the battery 38 is arrange | positioned inside the cover 32 so that replacement | exchange is possible. A claw portion (not shown) is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the lid portion 32e. The claw portion is locked to a locking portion such as a hole formed inside the cover 32, whereby the cover portion 32e is attached to the cover 32. Fixed. When removing the lid portion 32e, a locking tool is elastically deformed by inserting a tool with a thin tip between the cover 32 and the outer peripheral edge of the lid portion 32e and applying a force to the outside, thereby removing the lid portion 32e. Can be removed.

  The power switch 34 is attached to a position different from the lid portion 32 e on the peripheral wall portion 32 a of the cover 32. In FIG. 2, the power switch 34 and the lid portion 32 e are arranged apart from each other at one end in the left-right direction of the peripheral wall portion 32 a. However, the configuration is not limited to this. The power switch 34 can be operated from the outside, and electrically connects the battery 38 and the controller 39 when turned on as shown in FIG. Thereby, the control unit 39 is supplied with power from the battery 38. In addition, power is supplied to one of the upper actuator 36 and the lower actuator 37 via the power supply circuit unit of the control unit 39. When the power switch 34 is turned off, the electrical connection between the battery 38 and the control unit 39 is cut off. Thus, if the power switch 34 is turned on only when a limited person uses the elevator, the power consumption of the battery 38 consumed as standby power can be suppressed. For example, when frequent use of the elevator is not expected, such as at night, the power consumption of the battery 38 can be suppressed by turning off the power switch 34.

  When a call instruction signal (to be described later) is received by the receiving antenna 40 (FIG. 5) from the radio signal transmission section 50 (to be described later), the control unit 39 responds to the received call instruction signal according to the corresponding actuator 36 (or 37 ) Output a control signal. At this time, the microcomputer of the control unit 39 controls the power supply circuit unit to supply power to the corresponding actuator 36 (or 37) according to the reception result of the call instruction signal. And the control part 39 drives the corresponding pressing part 36c (or 37c) among the upper pressing part 36c or the lower pressing part 37c, and among the upper landing button 23 and the lower landing button 24, the corresponding landing button 23 (Or 24) is pressed. At this time, the control unit 39 may be configured to press the corresponding landing buttons 23 and 24 instantaneously for a short time by the pressing units 36c and 37c.

  In FIG. 4, the actuators 36 and 37 have the springs 36d and 37d, but the springs may be omitted. At this time, the pressing portions 36c and 37c are movably supported by a guide cylinder portion (not shown) that restricts the movement of the pressing portions 36c and 37c to the front side and restricts the moving direction of the pressing portions 36c and 37c. Also good. Even in this configuration, when the pressing is released with the existing hall button, the spring is usually returned to the normal standby position by an elastic member such as a spring of the hall operating panel. For this reason, when the energization of the actuators 36 and 37 is released, the pressing portions 36c and 37c of the actuators 36 and 37 can be pushed back by the force when the landing buttons 23 and 24 return to the standby position.

  The receiving antenna 40 is fixed to the inside of the cover 32, receives the call instruction signal transmitted from the radio signal transmitting unit 50, and transmits it to the control unit 39. In FIG. 5, the power line and the power switch 34 are indicated by thick solid lines, and the signal lines are indicated by broken lines.

  The wireless signal transmission unit 50 includes a transmission side operation unit 51 operated by the operator 16, a transmission side control unit 52, and a transmission side antenna 53. In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the wireless signal transmission unit 50 is a remote controller. The transmission side operation unit 51 has an upper button 54 (FIG. 2) for instructing call registration (rising call) for a rising car and a lower button 55 (FIG. 2) for instructing call registration (down call) for a descending car. ). The transmission-side control unit 52 transmits a call instruction signal representing a call registration instruction from the transmission-side antenna 53 to the outside as a radio wave signal in response to an operation of the transmission-side operation unit 51. For example, when the upper button 54 is operated, the transmission-side control unit 52 transmits a call instruction signal representing an ascending call instruction to the outside.

  A terminal having a wireless communication function such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal can be used as the wireless signal transmission unit. In such a terminal, application software is stored in the storage unit in advance, and the control unit of the terminal executes the software, whereby a predetermined transmission side operation unit can be displayed on the display.

  The wireless signal may be transmitted and received between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna using the Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication method, or via the Internet using the Wi-Fi (registered trademark) communication method. It may be transmitted and received.

  Further, the wireless signal is not limited to a radio wave signal transmitted via an antenna, but may be an infrared signal transmitted / received by an infrared communication method. At this time, the wireless signal transmission unit 50 has an infrared light emitting unit instead of the transmission side antenna 53, and the drive body 31 has a light receiving unit that receives infrared light emitted from the light emitting unit instead of the reception side antenna 40. The configuration.

  Moreover, what has the same structure as said operating device 30 can be attached to the elevator hall 10 of each floor of the middle floor except the lowest floor and the top floor. On the other hand, the operating device for the lowermost floor or the uppermost hall can be configured by omitting some of the actuators in the operating devices shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 6 shows the lowest floor hall operation panel 20a (a) and the highest floor hall operation panel 20b (b). As shown in FIG. 6, the lowermost floor and the uppermost floor operation panels 20a and 20b have only one landing button 23a for instructing the registration of the rising call as the landing button, or one landing button for instructing the registration of the lowering call. Only 24a. For this reason, the operating device attached to the hall operating panels 20a and 20b in FIG. 6 has a configuration in which the lower or upper actuator 36 (or 37) is omitted from the operating device 30 described with reference to FIGS. be able to. When the control unit 39 of the drive main body 31 receives a call instruction signal from the wireless signal transmission unit 50, the landing buttons 23a and 24a are pressed by the pressing portions 36c and 37c of the actuators 36 and 37 according to the call instruction signal. The configuration.

  According to the operation device 30 described above, only the limited operator 16 who is permitted to have the wireless signal transmission unit 50 can operate the hall operation panel 20. Thereby, the operator 16 who can operate the landing buttons 23, 24, 23a, 24a of the landing operation panels 20, 20a, 20b can be limited to a specific person. For example, when the building where the elevator is installed is a nursing home, only the limited operator 16 who is a visitor or employee who is permitted to have the wireless signal transmitting unit 50 has the wireless signal transmitting unit 50. Can operate the landing buttons 23, 24, 23a, and 24a. Accordingly, when there is an elderly person with a disease such as dementia in the nursing home, it is possible to prevent the elderly person from hesitatingly operating the landing buttons 23, 24, 23a, 24a and going out. Moreover, what is necessary is just to operate the transmission side operation part 51 in operation of the radio signal transmission part 50. FIG. This operation does not require excessively troublesome operations and special skills. In addition, since it is not necessary to significantly change the existing hall operation panel 20, existing facilities can be used greatly. For this reason, the structure which can limit the operator 16 who can operate the hall operation panel 20 is realizable at low cost.

  In addition, it is only necessary to prevent the elderly person from going out in the nursing home, and there are cases where the operator who operates the hall operation panel 20 to enter the building from the outside and ascend with the car may not be limited. In this case, the lowest floor hall operation panel 20a (FIG. 6) may be in the state of existing equipment to which no operating device is attached.

  Further, in the case where the building where the elevator is installed has a residence such as a condominium, the operator 16 of the hall operating panel 20 is given only to a specific person such as a resident who is permitted to have the wireless signal transmission unit 50. It can also be limited. Thereby, since the intrusion of the suspicious person from the outside can be prevented, the crime prevention property can be improved.

  In the embodiment, the cover 32 is attached to the hall operating panel 20 with screws 17. Thereby, when the existing hall operating panel 20 is fixed to the wall surface 15 with the screws 17, a structure in which the operating device 30 is attached to the hall operating panel 20 at low cost using the parts of the existing equipment. realizable.

  In addition, since the operation device 30 includes the battery 38 that is replaceably disposed inside the cover 32, it is not necessary to supply power to the control unit 39 using a wiring connected to an external commercial power source. For this reason, the structure where the operating device 30 was attached to the hall operating panel 20 at low cost using the existing equipment can be realized. In addition, it is good also as a structure with which the operating device 30 does not have a battery and electric power is supplied by wiring from a commercial power source.
