The present invention relates to a voice guidance device and method of an elevator, and more particularly, to a voice guidance device and method of an elevator so that the user can easily and simply change the guide voice information to be informed by using a voice recording means in the elevator. .

In general, the elevator control device provides additional voice guidance services to passengers using the elevator by dividing step by step, such as when driving to the destination floor where the call is registered through the voice guidance device connected to the control device for each driving situation, or during departure after departure. Representative broadcast contents include guide information on the arrival floor, information for guiding the opening and closing of elevator doors, warning broadcasts, or guide broadcasts to reduce the psychological anxiety of passengers in the event of a failure or power failure.

These broadcast contents are stored in the voice guidance apparatus, and the apparatus is connected to the elevator control apparatus so that the broadcast time and the contents to be broadcast are received by receiving serial or parallel signals from the elevator control apparatus.

1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a voice guidance apparatus of a conventional elevator, the elevator control apparatus for controlling the operation operation of the elevator, and outputs a voice guidance command signal required for guide broadcasting in accordance with the operation operation ( 10); It consists of a voice guidance device 20 for receiving the voice guidance command signal of the elevator control device 10 and outputs the corresponding voice information through the speaker 30, the elevator control device 10 is the operation of the elevator A central processing unit (11) in charge of controlling the operation and outputting a voice guidance command signal according to driving; A ROM 12 incorporating an operation control program; An ypyrom 13 for storing specification data for elevator operation control; A serial communication port (14) for serially transmitting said voice guidance command signal; It is composed of a parallel output port 15 for outputting the voice guidance command signal in parallel, the voice guidance device 20 serial communication receiving the voice guidance command signal from the elevator control device 10 in series or in parallel, respectively. A port 21 and a parallel input port 22; A central processing unit (23) for receiving the voice guidance command signal through the serial communication port (21) and the parallel input port (22) and outputting a corresponding voice information signal; A ROM 24 which stores an operation program of the central processing unit 23; An ypyrom (25) for storing the voice information signal; A digital / analog converter 26 for receiving the digital voice information signal, converting the analog voice signal into an analog signal, and outputting the analog voice information signal will be described in detail.

First, the central processing unit 11 of the elevator control device 10 receives the elevator operation control program from the ROM 12 to control the operation operation of the elevator in accordance with the specification data stored in the EPIROM 12, the operation According to the situation, the voice guidance broadcast command signal corresponding thereto is output to the voice guidance apparatus 20 through the serial communication port 14 or the parallel output port 15.

At this time, when the voice guidance command signal is output through the parallel output port 15 in parallel in the elevator control device 10, the voice received the voice guidance command signal through the parallel input port 22 The central processing unit 23 in the guide apparatus 20 interprets the voice guidance command signal received using the operation program stored in the ROM 24.

Therefore, the central processing unit 23 selects and outputs the corresponding voice information from the voice information stored in the ypyrom 25, and the digital / analog converter 26 receiving the voice information signal receives the analog signal. Converted to and output to the outside through the speaker 30.

In this case, since the signal lines connected between the parallel output port 15 and the parallel input port 22 are connected in parallel with as many signal lines as the type of announcement broadcast, the signal lines corresponding to the floor name broadcasting are expanded by the number of layers. and it outputs the encoded signal because the cheungmyeong increase the progression of the signal line, since the case ²⁵ to broadcast cheungmyeong of 32 layers are needed five lines.

Here, floor name broadcast of arrival floor such as "It is the fifth floor", "The door opens." Or the elevator door opening and closing instructions such as "The door is closed", driving directions such as "going up", "going down", power outage guidance such as "Please wait for power failure", "Please wait for a while." When a voice guidance command signal such as a fault guidance such as " is outputted, the number of wires corresponding to parallel communication increases.

Therefore, when the serial communication is used, the guide broadcast command signal is coded so that the broadcast contents can be easily distinguished and transmitted through two serial transmission lines.

Therefore, the central processing unit 11 in the elevator control apparatus 10 outputs the guidance broadcast command signal corresponding to the current driving state to the voice guidance apparatus 20 through the serial communication port 14.

First, the operation between the voice guidance device 110 and the elevator control device 100 operates in the same manner as in FIG.

In this case, when the user wants to broadcast the voice information for a specific time or period, a user such as a building owner or a manager boards the elevator car directly, presses the recording button of the input button unit 143 in the car driving control panel 140, and records and plays back. The voice information to be stored is stored in the unit 144.

In addition, the user test outputs the voice information stored in the recording and reproducing unit 144 to the outside through the speaker 150 through the play button of the input button unit 143 to check whether there is no abnormality, and the stored state. The broadcast condition setting data is set and stored in the elevator control apparatus 100 so that the recorded voice information can be broadcasted for each driving situation.

That is, the broadcast control specification data during the normal operation of the elevator stored in the EPI rom 103 is composed of recording sector setting data and a plurality of sectors as shown in FIG. 5, and the sector includes broadcasting condition setting data, specific floor designation setting data, It consists of broadcast end time setting data.

First, the configuration of the broadcast condition setting data is as follows.

b0: broadcast on arrival of the reference floor

b1: broadcast on arrival of specific floor

b2: broadcast every time the door is opened

b3: broadcast every time the door is closed

b4: Always broadcast while driving

b5 to b7: for expansion
