Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an Elevator operation panel with a plurality of input objects and a method for operating an elevator call.
  • An elevator system may comprise an elevator car that is movable vertically in an elevator hoistway or elevator shaft by an electrical drive and that may be stopped at different floors of a building. All elevator systems are equipped with at least an elevator operating panel. As with other elevator fixtures, elevator operating panels vary in appearance and design in deferent forms, such as COP (car operation panel) and LOP (lobby operation panel). But the most of them contain following basic features: elevator call register pushbuttons, door open button, alarm button, communication system intercom or telephone etc.
  • an elevator system has a COP inside of an elevator car to give an elevator car call and a floor-control-panel outside of the elevator car to give an elevator floor call or to provide an elevator car calling, whereat the floor-control-panel is normally mounted on a wall in a floor and adjacent to a hoistway door.
  • Some elevators have LOP situated at the different floors.
  • a LOP in this application is to understand as a control panel which is different to a conventional floor-control-panel, as LOP provides a possibility for passengers to give a destination floor, e.g. the port-technology.
  • An elevator call is thus to understand as a call operating using a LOP, a COP or a floor-control-panel.
  • a floor-control-panel provides a user interface with one or more buttons which may be pushed by a passenger for generating a floor call and optionally for selecting the direction (up or down). On a LOP it is then no more necessary to provide one or two buttons for selecting a car moving direction. Every one of COP, LOP and floor-control-panels has normally a plurality of input objects corresponding to floors of a building respectively.
  • the input objects can be constructed in form of push buttons or keys etc. and in form of input areas if an operation panel is a touchscreen.
  • a modular design is a design approach that subdivides a system into smaller parts that can be independently created and then used in different systems. Therefore, elevator operation panels are provided as modular components sharing approximately the same form or function appear in different elevator systems.
  • buildings have different number of floors.
  • An elevator operation panel of a modular design, especially its input objects, cannot suit every elevator system or building exactly. There could be one or some input objects that are not used for a building. Such an input object should be blocked or leave blank.
  • CN104773624 A discloses a target floor registering method during an installation working of an elevator. If a register is done correctly, a voice signal will be sent to a microphone.
  • One Object of this invention is to further improve the operation function and comfort of an elevator operation panel.
  • an elevator operation panel comprises a plurality of input objects which at least partially correspond with floors of a building, wherein by an inputting activity an input object registers an elevator call.
  • the elevator operation panel has at least one blank input object not corresponding to any floor of the building or at least one blocked input object which is configurable to block an inputting activity or to reject registering an elevator call for a corresponding floor.
  • the elevator operation panel comprises further an alarm device for generating an alarm signal, when an inputting activity is acted on the blocked or blank input object.
  • the elevator operation panel comprises a control unit to identify a person who has no access right to at least one limited floor of the floors of a building, whereas the blocked input object is configurable in relation to the restricted access rights of this person.
  • This control unit identifies a person either by itself or with a help of a communication with a remote center.
  • One advantage hereof is that a warning feedback or indication will be generated for a passenger, when an inputting activity e.g. an elevator call cannot be recognized or accepted by an elevator or this passenger has no access right to a destination chosen by him-/herself. Consequently, the passenger has a better opportunity to recognize a wrongly or advertently inputted elevator call and correct it in time. The passenger can thus redo an elevator calling again or to check immediately whether the target floor is correct or not. So that is Optimizing the passenger traffic and saving energy.
  • the generated alarm signal could be an acoustic signal, a visible signal, a vibration signal and/or a haptic signal.
  • Such an instant signal is especially advantageous for old people who have both vision and hearing impairment or handicapped people, e.g. blind or deaf people.
  • a further aspect of the invention relates to a method for operating an elevator call, the method comprising: corresponding with a plurality of input objects of an elevator operation panel to floors of a building, wherein by an inputting activity an input object registers an elevator call, configuring at least one blocked input object to block an inputting activity or to reject registering an elevator call, and generating an alarm signal by acting an inputting activity on the blocked input object.
  • Fig. 1 represents an elevator operation panel 1 of an elevator 6.
  • This elevator operation panel 1 is installed e.g. as a COP in an elevator car 7 of this elevator 6.
  • This Figure shows also an enlarged view of this elevator operation panel 1 on the right side of the illustrated elevator 6.
  • this elevator operation panel 1 there is a plurality of input objects 2, 2a which correspond at least partially with floors 3, 3a of a building where the elevator 6 is installed. So that these input objects 2, 2a are used to select a floor destination or give an elevator car call.
  • the input objects 2, 2a are e.g. push buttons or keys etc. If the elevator operation panel 1 is a touchscreen, then the input objects 2, 2a can be as input areas or menu items on a layout of the HMI (Human-machine-interface) of the touchscreen.
  • the input objects 2, 2a are push buttons.
  • the numbers on the push button 2, 2a represent certain floors 3, 3a which are corresponded with these push buttons 2, 2a respectively. Therefore, a push button 2 will register an elevator call to a target floor 3, 3a for a passenger, when this passenger presses this push button 2.
  • the operation panel 1 of the Fig.1 comprises totally twelve push buttons 2, 2a, but the building has only ten floors.
  • the blank buttons 2a means that they do not correspond with any of the floors.
  • another blocked button 2a having a floor number is for registering an elevator call to a limited floor 3a.
  • the limited floor 3a means that this floor is not accessible for every passenger or for all times.
  • the stripe pattern background of this blocked button 2a is only to illustrate that this blocked button 2a is a different button than the normal and blank push buttons 2, 2a. Accordingly, there is a control unit 5 which is e.g. integrated in the operation panel 1.
  • This control unit 5 will identify a passenger whether he/she has an access right to a target floor 3a chosen by him/her. This identification can be executed by a remote center (not displayed) too which monitors this elevator 6.
  • a remote center not displayed
  • id-cards e.g. id-cards, iris-scanning, fingerprint or face recognition etc.
  • the operation panel 1 comprises further an alarm device 4 for generating an alarm signal, when an inputting activity is acted on the blocked or blank push buttons 2a.
  • the alarm device 4 is e.g. a microphone or a buzzer which sounds to alert a passenger that this button is not useable or not available for this passenger. Additionally, this alarm device can emit an optical signal as an alarm signal, to make possible that a hearing-handicapped passenger can also be informed about this failure in time.
  • An instant alert to passengers could be e.g. an audible voice message or announcement likes "Invalid floor!, "Invalid entry! or "Floor not registered” etc.
  • Fig. 2 represents a flow diagram for operating an elevator call according to an embodiment of this invention.
  • the elevator operation panel 1 When a passenger has taken an input activity 8 on an elevator operation panel 1 likes one represented in Fig.1 , in the next step the elevator operation panel 1 will check whether this activity was done with an available input object 2. If it was an unavailable (blocked or blank) input object 2a, then an alarm signal will be generated 12. If the acted input object is available, then it is further to identify 10, whether this input activity was acted by an authorized passenger. If this passenger has an accessing right to the chosen destination, the inputted elevator call will be registered and executed 11. Otherwise, the operation panel 1 will reject 13 to register the elevator call and generate an alarm signal 12.
  • One advantage hereof is that a warning feedback or indication will be generated for a passenger if an inputting activity e.g. an elevator call cannot be recognized or accepted by an elevator operation panel 1 or this passenger has no access right to a destination. Consequently, the passenger has a better opportunity to recognize and correct wrongly or advertently inputted elevator calls in time. Then passenger can input an elevator calling again or to check immediately whether the chosen destination is correct or not. So that the passenger traffic can be optimized and the energy consumption will be hence saved.
