Description

Elevator with a movable elevator car

The application is as follows: the invention relates to a divisional application with the application number of 2017102377824, the application date of 2017, 4-month and 12-day, and the invention is named as a call registration system and an elevator.

Technical Field

The invention relates to an elevator with a call registration system.

Background

A conventional elevator call registration system performs call registration of an elevator by inputting a destination floor button to which a passenger wants to go or a direction button in which an elevator car is operated in an elevator hall by a manual input method. Another is to perform non-contact or remote elevator call registration by swiping an IC card or a wireless communication module connected with a call registration device through a mobile terminal. And the other method is that an induction node is arranged in a passageway of the elevator hall to sense whether passengers move to the elevator hall, and if so, the elevator car is called to arrive at the elevator hall to wait for standby so as to reduce the waiting time of the passengers. However, none of the above methods can avoid mischief.

In addition, a sensor is arranged to sense whether a passenger waits in an elevator hall or not to avoid mischief, and a call request is cancelled once the passenger leaves. This is based on the fact that a call request has been issued, possibly when the elevator car has run halfway, thus reducing the operating efficiency of the entire elevator system.

Detailed Description

As shown in fig. 1, the call registration system of the present invention includes an input unit 1 provided in or near an elevator hall, a control unit 2, and an identification unit 3 provided in or near the elevator hall, and the control unit 2 includes a transmission/reception communication subunit 21, a processing subunit 22, and a control subunit 23.

The input unit 1 is used for passengers to call and register, the input unit 1 can input call and register signals through conventional buttons, IC cards, Bluetooth, WIFI, GPRS, voice, gestures and the like, and is connected with the control unit 2 through wired or wireless signals. The input unit 1 of the present embodiment is preferably a voice input, and includes a voice receiving unit 11, and further includes a prompting unit which can be an image display, a digital display or an audible and visual prompt, preferably a voice prompting unit 12, the voice receiving unit is used for receiving a call registration sent by a passenger, and the voice prompting unit is used for prompting the passenger to perform the call registration.

The identification unit 3 is used for identifying passengers in the detection area, and may include a common camera, an infrared sensor, and the like, and has a function of identifying personal characteristics, such as face, eyes, height, body width, body temperature, and the like, so as to distinguish the physical characteristics of the passengers. The recognition unit 3 is capable of recognizing whether a passenger is present in the detection area and further calculates the time for which the corresponding passenger is present based on personal characteristics, further has a keep alive function, the recognition unit 3 continues the previous time calculation if the passenger leaves the detection area and returns to the detection area within a certain time, recalculates the time for which the passenger is present in the detection area if the passenger returns to the detection area after the certain time, the length of the certain time is selected empirically, for example, may be 3-10s, preferably may be determined based on the time for which the passenger normally passes through the entire detection area, for example, 2s is required for a normal person to pass through the entire detection area, the certain time should be more than 2s, and so on.

The control unit 2 includes a transceiving communication subunit 21, a processing subunit 22, and a control subunit 23, where the transceiving communication subunit 21 is connected with the input unit 1 and the identification unit 3 by wire or wirelessly, and the wireless connection mode may be a general wireless communication mode such as WIFI, bluetooth, GPRS, infrared wave, and the like. In general, the transmitting/receiving communication subunit 21 is responsible for receiving signals from the input unit 1 and the identification unit 3 and transmitting signals from the control unit 2 to both of them; the processing subunit 22 is responsible for converting and calculating the input signal and outputting a control signal according to the input signal, and the control subunit 23 receives the control signal sent by the processing subunit 22 and generates an acknowledgement signal which is transmitted to the input unit 1 by the transceiving communication subunit 21.

The working principle of the preferred embodiment of the invention is as follows:

when the passenger enters the detection area, the identification unit 3 immediately monitors and identifies the personal characteristics of the passenger to distinguish each passenger, and the distinguished passengers are respectively tracked.

Judging whether the first time passes or not in the detection area, if so, sending a signal to the control unit 2 by the identification unit 3 to indicate that the passengers in the detection area have the elevator taking requirement; and if not, clearing the time of the passenger existing in the detection area. If the passenger leaves the detection area halfway when the first time is not reached, whether the passenger returns to the detection area within the second time is detected, and if the passenger returns to the detection area within the second time, whether the first time is passed is calculated according to the time when the passenger initially reaches the detection area.

The control unit 2 receives the signal from the identification unit 3 and sends a confirmation signal to the input unit 1 through operation processing.

The input means 1 is activated upon receiving the confirmation signal, and gives a call registration prompt such as "please input a destination floor", "the system is a voice call, ask for a few floors" to the passenger through the voice prompt means 12. The passenger inputs or gives a spoken response, for example, a voice with numbers such as "eight floor" and "eight", and the processor in the input means 1 processes and converts the input information, and transmits the processed call information to the elevator central controller, and the elevator central controller further performs control and assignment of the elevator car based on the call information.
