Fig. 1 shows a front view of an operation panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The operation panel 1 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is used for an elevator car having two car doors. The operation panel 1 includes: the display screen 2 is used for displaying various information such as operation prompts, floor numbers, car door states, elevator running states and the like; a numeric keyboard 3 for inputting the number of the destination floor, which may be a decimal keyboard, including ten buttons, corresponding to the numbers 0 to 9; a modify/minus button 4 for modifying (i.e., deleting) the floor numbers that have been entered and for entering the minus sign of the corresponding minus floor, the modify/minus button 4 may be a patterned button such as the "-" button shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1, a numeric keypad 3 and a modify/minus button 4 are adjacently disposed to facilitate the passenger to input the floor number of the destination floor. The display 2 is located near, in particular directly above, the numeric keypad 3, so that the passenger can easily observe the corresponding display contents and operation prompts on the display 2 while inputting the floor number of the destination floor.
As shown in fig. 1, the display 2, the numeric keypad 3, and the modify/minus button 4 are all located in a central area of the operation panel 1, and a first confirmation button 5, a first tab 7, and a first set of door opening and closing buttons 9 are provided in a first side (e.g., left side) area of the central area, and are all associated with and located on the same side of the central area as the first car door; in a zone on a second side (for example, the right side) of the central zone, there are provided a second confirmation button 6, a second tab 8, a second set of door opening and closing buttons 10, all associated with the second car door located on the second side of the central zone and on the same side of the central zone as the second car door.
The first and second confirmation buttons 5 and 6 are used to associate the floor number corresponding to the destination floor that has been input with the first car door or the second car door, where "association" means that the corresponding first car door or second car door is opened after the elevator reaches the destination floor by program control. The first and second confirmation buttons 5 and 6 may have a special pattern, e.g. ", to attract the passengers' special attention. A first tab 7 and a second tab 8 are provided in the vicinity of the first confirmation button 5 and the second confirmation button 6, respectively, for identifying to which car door the first confirmation button 5 and the second confirmation button 6 correspond, respectively. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the first tab 7 is disposed below the first confirmation button 5 and is identified with "left door confirmation", and the second tab 8 is disposed below the second confirmation button 6 and is identified with "right door confirmation". The present invention is not limited to this, and those skilled in the art may set a label at another position near the confirmation button, or the label may have another prompt text, as long as the function of instructing the car door corresponding to the confirmation button is provided.
The first set of door opening and closing buttons 9 is used to open or close the first car door, and the second set of door opening and closing buttons 10 is used to open or close the second car door. The arrangement that the first set of door opening and closing buttons 9 and the first confirmation button 7 are located on the side of the display screen 2 close to the first car door and the second set of door opening and closing buttons 10 and the second confirmation button 8 are located on the side of the display screen 2 close to the second car door ensures that the door opening and closing buttons and the confirmation buttons are not misoperated, i.e., the second set of door opening and closing buttons 10 and the second confirmation button 8 are not misoperated by passengers when the passengers wish to open or close the first car door or confirm the corresponding first car door, and vice versa.
As shown in fig. 2, the elevator car includes two car doors, i.e., a first car door and a second car door, provided on the a side and the C side of the elevator car, respectively, for passengers to get in and out. The operation panel 1 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be disposed on the B side, the D1 side, or the D2 side. The present invention is not limited to this, and a different number of car doors can be selected according to the actual application, and the operation panel 1 suitably includes the same or a corresponding number of confirmation buttons as the number of car doors.
The operation panel and the operation method thereof are further described below in conjunction with operation prompts on the display screen.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic view of a display screen in a non-registered state during travel of the elevator (e.g. traveling upwards), in which the following is displayed: (ii) upcoming floor numbers, such as "15"; an arrow indicating the direction in which the elevator is traveling, for example, an upward arrow in the figure indicates traveling upward; and thirdly, operating prompt contents, such as 'please input floor numbers'. Press it to confirm.
Fig. 4 presents a schematic view of a display screen in a non-registered state during a stop of the elevator, e.g. at floor 15, in which the following are presented: (ii) a floor number currently located, e.g., "15"; arrow indicating the direction in which the elevator is going to travel, e.g. the upward arrow in the figure indicates the direction in which the elevator is going to travel; and thirdly, operating prompt contents, such as 'please input floor numbers'. Press to confirm "; arrows and character marks indicating the currently opened car door, for example, a rightward arrow and a "right side door" in fig. 4 indicate that the right car door is in an open state, and a leftward arrow and a "left side door" indicate that the left car door is in an open state. The arrow and text label indicating the currently open car door may flash to alert the passenger until the corresponding car door is no longer displayed when closed. In addition, other patterns, text, or combinations thereof may be employed to indicate the currently opened car door.
Under the guidance of the operation presentation, the passenger can register the destination floor through the operation panel 1 regardless of whether the elevator is traveling or stopped at a certain floor. The term "registration" in this context means the entry of the floor number of the destination floor to the control system of the elevator and the specific car door which is desired to be opened after the destination floor. In order to register a destination floor, first, a passenger inputs a destination floor number through the numeric keypad 3; if the destination floor is a negative floor, the modification/negative button 4 can be pressed first, and a minus number is input; the modify/minus button 4 can also be used to delete already entered numbers. It is to be noted that when one of the buttons in the numeric keypad 3 is pressed for the first time or the modify/minus button 4 is pressed for the first time when a minus floor number is input, the operation panel 1 enters a registration state in which the central area of the display screen 2 no longer displays the current floor number or the next floor number of the elevator but displays the floor number of the destination floor input by the passenger, as shown by "15" in fig. 5.
After the input of the destination floor number is completed, the passenger confirms the floor number and selects the car door desired to be opened. The passenger can press the first confirmation button 7 corresponding to the first car door, confirm the inputted floor number, and input a first confirmation signal for selecting the opening of the first car door upon arrival at the destination floor; and/or the passenger can press a second confirmation button 7 corresponding to the second car door, confirm the entered floor number, and input a second confirmation signal for selecting the opening of the second car door upon arrival at the destination floor.
The operation panel 1 is coupled with a controller and a memory. The controller receives the entered floor number and the first and/or second confirmation signal and compares them with a preset rule, and if there is no rule preventing registration (e.g., a floor number is not present, a side door of a floor is not open, etc.), stores the combination of the floor number and the first and/or second confirmation signal in the memory. After the registration is successfully completed, as shown in fig. 6, the display screen 2 displays the number of floors already registered and the corresponding car door indication contents, for example, "15" and "right side door", and displays "floor registered |)! ", indicating that the passenger has successfully completed the check-in. The same display is made if the floor number entered by the passenger and the selected car door have been registered, as shown in fig. 6. If the registration fails, as shown in fig. 7, the display screen displays the reason for the registration failure and prompts the passenger to re-enter, for example, "do not find floor, please re-enter". When the display screen displays the operation prompt of successful registration or the operation prompt of failed registration for a while, if no other floor number is input, the operation panel is configured to switch from the registration state to the non-registration state, at which time the central area of the display screen 2 no longer displays the floor number of the destination floor input by the passenger, but the current floor number or the next floor number of the elevator. When the elevator runs to the floor which is successfully registered, the controller retrieves the first and/or second confirmation signals registered in the memory and sends out corresponding door opening instructions to control the corresponding car doors to open.
Note that in the display screen of the operation panel of the present invention, no separate area is provided for displaying the floor number that has been successfully registered previously and the contents of whether the first car door or the second car door is to be opened at the corresponding floor. As shown in fig. 3 to 7, no area for displaying the floor number and corresponding car door information that have been successfully registered previously exists on the display screen 2 regardless of the registered state or the unregistered state. Compared with the scheme of setting the display area in the prior art, the size of the display screen of the operation panel can be obviously reduced, the display content is obviously simplified, the equipment cost is reduced, and the display effect is also improved.
In some embodiments the operating panel 1 is configured such that when the elevator car is stopped, after pressing the numeric keypad 3 to enter the floor numbers, the elevator car does not start by itself if the passenger does not press the first confirmation button 5 or the second confirmation button 7. Such an arrangement requires that the passenger, after entering the floor number of the destination floor, must immediately select which side of the car doors to open at the destination floor. The arrangement accords with the operation habit that the passenger selects the floor and the car door at the same time, reduces the condition that the car door at the expected side is not opened after the passenger arrives at the destination floor, and improves the use experience.
Fig. 8 shows a front view of an operation panel according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. Only the differences of this embodiment from the previous embodiments are described below. Exemplarily, the operation panel 1' according to still another embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a card reader 11, and the card reader 11 is used for reading an electronic card storing passenger identity information, access floor information, and/or opening car door information. In some examples, the passenger may swipe a card directly on the card reader 11, and the corresponding information is read by the card reader 11 for subsequent operations. Such as confirming passenger information, access floor information, and/or opening car door information. Further, the electronic card of the passenger can carry the information of the access floor and the information of the opening of the car door, and the registration of the selection of the floor and the car door can be completed only by swiping the card through the card reader 11 without inputting the floor number and pressing a confirmation button.
