  • an elevator having a structure in which the movement of a car is controlled based on information from an ID information collation terminal installed in a hall of an apartment house.
  • ID data input to the ID information collation terminal are collated with pre-registered data. Only when the ID data are authenticated, an electric lock for the hall is unlocked, and the car is moved to a floor where the hall is located (e.g., see Patent Document 1).
  • JP-A-2005-132549 discloses a control device for an elevator capable of specifying a person who rides on the elevator to reduce the possibility of encounter with crime by making a personal identification before a user rides on the elevator.
  • Personal identification is made by face collation before the user rides on the elevator by linking a face collation device with an elevator control part. Based on the results of the identification, the operation of the elevator is controlled.
  • JP-A-2000-351547 discloses precisely detecting the occurrence of a crime within a car and ensuring the safety of a passenger by judging whether an abnormal vibration is generated in the car or not when the state where a crime is easy to occur is judged by a condition judgment means, and operating a monitoring apparatus when the abnormal vibration is detected to perform a crime preventing control.
  • the condition judgment means of a prime preventing operation device judges the state where a crime is easy to occur when the car internal load from a car load detector is a prescribed value or less in the state where no call registration signal from a car internal control board is present.
  • an abnormal vibration judgment means is started, and when it judges the occurrence of abnormal vibration in a car on the basis of the car load signal from the car load detector, a monitoring apparatus operating means and a crime preventing operation means are started.
  • a monitoring apparatus operating means is started.
  • the function of an alarm button within the car is made effective, the internal state of the car is photographed by a camera to transmit the image to a management room, and a prescribed message is outputted from a voice notification device.
  • the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and it is therefore an object of the present invention to obtain a control device for an elevator capable of making an improvement in security effect.
  • the present invention provides a control device for an elevator according to Claim 1.
  • Fig. 1 is a functional block diagram showing an elevator system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
  • an ID data collation terminal 1 for reading ID information on passengers is installed at a landing of each floor.
  • a card reader for reading information on cards and a fingerprint reading device for reading fingerprints of passengers can be mentioned as the ID data collation terminal 1.
  • the ID information read by the ID data collation terminal 1 is transmitted to an ID data collation controller 2 for determining whether to authenticate the ID information or not.
  • the ID information on the passengers is pre-registered in the ID data collation controller 2 as information for collation.
  • the ID data collation controller 2 collates the ID information read by the ID data collation terminal 1 with the information for collation, thereby determining whether to authenticate the ID information or not.
  • a piece of ID information on a passenger is authenticated, a piece of information for transmission corresponding to the authenticated ID information (e.g., piece of personal information such as destination floor) is transmitted from the ID data collation controller 2 to a control device 3 for an elevator.
  • a car 4 is provided with an indicator (information display) 5 for indicating information within the car 4, and a monitoring system 6 for monitoring the interior of the car 4.
  • the monitoring system 6 has a monitoring camera 7 for imaging the interior of the car 4, and an image recorder 8 for recording image information from the monitoring camera 7.
  • the car 4 is also provided with a weighing device (not shown) for measuring a weight within the car 4.
  • the control device 3 has communication means 9, destination floor registering means 10, boarding-scheduled passenger number calculating means 11, boarding-completed passenger number detecting means 12, determination means 13, and travel supervising means 14.
  • the communication means 9 communicates information to and from external components such as the ID data collation controller 2 and the weighing device. That is, the transmission of information between the control device 3 and the external components is carried out via the communication means 9.
  • the destination floor registering means 10 registers a destination floor of the car 4 based on information from the ID data collation controller 2. That is, the information from the ID data collation controller 2 includes information on a destination floor of each passenger. A registration of a call for the car 4 is automatically made in the control device 3 based on the information on the destination floor.
  • the boarding-scheduled passenger number calculating means 11 calculates the number of passengers scheduled to board the car 4 as a boarding passenger number schedule value, based on the information from the ID data collation controller 2. Specifically, the boarding-scheduled passenger number calculating means 11 detects the number of times of the reading of ID information by the ID data collation terminal 1 from a moment of completion of a last door-closing operation for an elevator doorway to a moment of completion of a current door-closing operation (i.e., during single boarding process), and calculates the detected number of times as a boarding passenger number schedule value.
  • the boarding-completed passenger number detecting means 12 detects the number of passengers having boarded the car 4 as a boarding passenger number completion value, based on information from the weighing device. Specifically, the boarding-completed passenger number detecting means 12 detects a weight within the car 4 measured by the weighing device, and divides the detected weight by a preset weight per passenger (65 kg in this example) to calculate a boarding passenger number completion value.
  • the determination means 13 determines whether or not the boarding passenger number schedule value and the boarding passenger number completion value are equal to each other, based on information from the boarding-scheduled passenger number calculating means 11 and information from the boarding-completed passenger number detecting means 12.
  • the travel supervising means 14 controls the operation of the elevator based on information from the determination means 13 and information from the destination floor registering means 10.
  • the travel supervising means 14 has attention attracting means 15, monitoring command means 16, and operation control means 17.
  • the attention attracting means 15 When the boarding passenger number schedule value and the boarding passenger number completion value are different from each other, the attention attracting means 15 outputs an attention indication command to the indicator 5.
  • the indicator 5 indicates that there is an abnormality in the number of passengers (e.g., "There is at least one person who has not input his/her ID.”). Thatis, when the boarding passenger number schedule value and the boarding passenger number completion value are different from each other, the attention attracting means 15 issues to the interior of the car 4 an announcement that there is an abnormality in the number of passengers.
  • the monitoring command means 16 When the boarding passenger number schedule value and the boarding passenger number completion value are different from each other, the monitoring command means 16 outputs (issues) a monitoring command to the monitoring system 6. Upon receiving the monitoring command, the monitoring system 6 records image information from the monitoring camera 7 into the image recorder 8.
  • the operation control means 17 When the boarding passenger number schedule value and the boarding passenger number completion value are equal to each other, the operation control means 17 performs normal opening/closing operations for the elevator doorway, and moves the car 4 to destination floors registered by the destination floor registering means 10. When the boarding passenger number schedule value and the boarding passenger number completion value are different from each other, the operation control means 17 causes the car 4 to wait for a predetermined time while holding the elevator doorway in a door-open state, and then performs a door-closing operation to move the car 4 to the destination floors.
  • An ID information collating device 18 has the ID data collation terminal 1 and the ID data collation controller 2.
  • the control device 3 is constituted by a computer having a calculation processing portion (CPU), a storage portion (ROM, RAM, and the like), and signal input/output portions.
  • the functions of the communication means 9, the destination floor registering means 10, the boarding-scheduled passenger number calculating means 11, the boarding-completed passenger number detecting means 12, the determination means 13, and the travel supervising means 14 are realized by the computer constituting the control device 3.
  • control programs for realizing the functions of the communication means 9, the destination floor registering means 10, the boarding-scheduled passenger number calculating means 11, the boarding-completed passenger number detecting means 12, the determination means 13, and the travel supervising means 14 are stored in the storage portion of the computer.
  • the calculation processing portion performs a calculation processing regarding the function of the control device 3 based on the control programs.
  • Fig. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the elevator system of Fig. 1 .
  • the ID data collation terminal 1 reads ID information on a passenger and the ID data collation controller 2 authenticates the read ID information (S10)
  • personal information on the passenger e.g., information on a destination floor
  • the ID data collation controller 2 authenticates the read ID information (S10)
  • personal information on the passenger e.g., information on a destination floor
  • pieces of personal information on passengers corresponding to the respective pieces of ID information are transmitted to the control device 3.
  • the boarding-scheduled passenger number calculating means 11 detects the number of times of transmission of information from the ID data collation controller 2 to the control device 3, thereby calculating a boarding passenger number schedule value (S11).
  • the boarding-completed passenger number detecting means 12 calculates the number of passengers having boarded the car 4 as a boarding passenger number completion value, based on information from the weighing device (S12).
  • the destination floor registering means 10 automatically registers destination floors of the passengers having boarded the car 4, based on the information from the ID data collation controller 2 (S13).
  • the determination means 13 determines whether or not the boarding passenger number schedule value calculated by the boarding-scheduled passenger number calculating means 11 and the boarding passenger number completion value calculated by the boarding-completed passenger number detecting means 12 are equal to each other (S14).
  • the door-closing operation for the elevator doorway is performed (S15), and the car 4 is moved to the automatically registered destination floors.
  • the attention attracting means 15 When the boarding passenger number schedule value and the boarding passenger number completion value are not equal to each other, the attention attracting means 15 outputs an attention indication command to the indicator 5, so the indicator 5 indicates an attention attracting message such as "There is at least one person who has not input his/her ID.” (S16).
  • the monitoring command means 16 outputs a monitoring command to the monitoring system 6, so image information from the monitoring camera 7 is recorded into the image recorder 8 (S17).
  • the number of passengers scheduled to board the car 4 is calculated as a boarding passenger number schedule value based on information from the ID information collating device 18, the number of passengers having boarded the car 4 is calculated as a boarding passenger number completion value, and it is then determined whether or not the boarding passenger number schedule value and the boarding passenger number completion value are equal to each other. It is therefore possible to determine with ease whether or not an outsider other than the passengers having registered their ID information has boarded the car 4. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent an outsider from entering a dedicated floor intended to permit visits of certain people only, and hence make an improvement in security effect.
  • the attention attracting means 15 causes the indicator 5 to indicate that there is an abnormality in the number of passengers. It is therefore possible to inform the passengers within the car 4 that there is at least one outsider among them.
  • the monitoring command means 16 issues a command to the monitoring system 6 for monitoring the interior of the car 4. It is therefore possible to take measures such as recordation of the interior of the car 4 as an image at a time when there is an outsider on board. It is thus possible to identify the outsider and make a further improvement in security effect.
  • the attention attracting means 15 causes the indicator 5 to indicate that there is an abnormality in the number of passengers.
  • the door-closing operation for the elevator doorway is started after the lapse of the predetermined time from the start of indication of a warning by the indicator 5.
  • the command issued by the monitoring command means 16 is transmitted to the monitoring system 6 provided in the car 4.
  • a command issued by the monitoring command means 16 is transmitted to a central supervisory room (monitoring center) for monitoring and controlling the operation of the elevator in a concentrated manner. In this manner as well, it is possible to take measures such as alteration in the operation of the elevator and make an improvement in security effect.
  • the boarding-scheduled passenger number calculating means 11 calculates the number of times of the reading of ID information by the ID data collation terminal 1 as a boarding passenger number schedule value.
  • the boarding-scheduled passenger number calculating means 11 integrates the number of passengers included in the information from the ID data collation controller 2, thereby calculating a boarding passenger number schedule value.
  • the ID data collation terminal 1 It is also appropriate to cause the ID data collation terminal 1 to read information on, for example, a card for changing the number of passengers, and hence ensure that information for changing the number of passengers is additionally included in the information on the number of passengers included in the information from the ID data collation controller 2. In this manner, it is possible to ensure that information such as "plural” or "arbitrary number” is included in the information on the number of passengers. Thus, even when a passenger who has not registered his/her ID information is invited or guided, the indicator 5 can be prevented from indicating an unnecessary warning or the like.
  • the boarding passenger number completion value is calculated based on information from the weighing device for measuring the weight within the car 4.
  • the number of times of detection of passengers by the photoelectric sensor is adopted as the boarding passenger number completion value.
  • the photoelectric sensor is provided on an elevator door for opening/closing the elevator doorway.
