DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic system configuration of an elevator apparatus according to the present invention. Elevator devices installed in high-rise buildings such as hotels, department stores, office buildings, and condominiums include a car 2 arranged in a dedicated hoistway 1, which is usually installed in a machine room at the top of the hoistway 1. A hoist, not shown, is suspended by a rope 3 and moves up and down in accordance with the operation of the hoist.

The hall hall 4 of the elevator is provided with a hall call operation device 6 for a waiting passenger to call the car 2, a hall guidance device 7 and a voice synthesizing device 8 near the elevator hold door 5. I have. The hall call operating device 6 is provided with an up call button and a down call button for designating a destination direction depending on whether a passenger goes to an upper floor or a lower floor. Further, the car 2 is provided with an operation panel 9 on which a destination floor button for designating a floor at which the passenger gets off and a sensor 10 for detecting a passenger in the car 2.

In the machine room at the top of the hoistway 1, the elevator device is moved up and down, accelerated and decelerated, stopped,
An elevator control device 11 for controlling various operations such as door opening and door closing is provided. The elevator control device 11 has a car call registration circuit 12 for receiving destination floor data transmitted from an operation panel 9 provided in the car 2 and a car 2, a passenger detection circuit 13 for receiving passenger detection data transmitted from the sensor 10 is provided. The car 2 and the elevator control device 1
1 is connected by a cable called a tail cord, and signals are transmitted and power is supplied through the tail cord.

On the other hand, a hall call registration circuit 14 for receiving hall call data transmitted from the hall call operation device 6 of the hall 4 is also provided in the elevator control device 11. The signals registered or detected by the car call registration circuit 12, the passenger detection circuit 13, and the hall call registration circuit 14 are supplied to the determination circuit 15. The judgment circuit 15 is for judging whether or not to supply a message to the hall guidance device 7 and the voice synthesizing device 8 of the hall 4. Is supplied directly to the hall guidance device 7 of the hall 4 via the timing setting circuit 17 or to the speech synthesizer 8 of the hall 4 via the timing setting circuit 17 after passing through the announcement output circuit 16. Supplied. The timing setting circuit 17 sets a timing so that a message is supplied to the hall guidance device 7 and the voice synthesizer 8 before the car 2 is landed and the hold door 5 is opened.

Next, the operation of the thus configured elevator apparatus of the present invention will be described.

When a passenger in the elevator car 2 registers a destination floor by pressing a destination floor button on the operation panel 9 in the car, the destination floor data is stored in the car call registration circuit 12.
Sent to. In the car call registration circuit 12, when the destination floor data is received, the car 2 arrives at the destination floor, holds the data until the call is deleted, and supplies the destination floor registration data to the determination circuit 15. I do. Similarly, when a waiter at the hall 4 presses a button on the hall call operating device 6 to register an up call or a down call, hall call data is transmitted to the hall call registration circuit 14. When receiving the hall call data, the hall call registration circuit 14 holds the data until the hold door 5 of the elevator is opened, and supplies the hall call registration data to the determination circuit 15. On the other hand, by the sensor 10,
When a passenger in the elevator car 2 is sensed, passenger detection data is transmitted to the passenger detection circuit 13. When receiving the passenger detection data, the passenger detection circuit 13 supplies the data to the determination circuit 15.

The judgment circuit 15 receives the passenger detection data from the passenger detection circuit 13, and further receives the landing floor registration data from both the car call registration circuit 12 and the hall call registration circuit 14. Only, the data of the traveling direction of the car 2 is transmitted to the announcement output circuit 16. The announcement output circuit 16 selects the content of the voice guide announcement in accordance with the traveling direction data of the car 2 and transmits it to the voice synthesizer 7. And the speech synthesizer 7
Then, the output signal is converted into a sound, and a sound guide announcement is made to flow to the hall 4.

The content of the voice guide announcement is, for example, in the case of the up direction in accordance with the traveling direction of the car 2,
An announcement such as "The elevator in the up direction is coming. Some people get off, please open the front of the door widely." In the case of the down direction, "The elevator in the down direction will come. Please open the front of the door widely. "For the waiting passengers at the hall 4. The same content is also displayed on the hall display device 7 by characters or arrows. Then, after the end of the announcement or after the display is made, the car 2 is landed and the hold door 5 is opened. As a result, information as to whether or not there is a passenger who gets off the car 2 before the hold door 5 is opened is transmitted to the passengers waiting for the arrival of the car 2 at the hall 4, so that even in the crowded hall 4 It is easy for passengers to get off and for passengers to get on.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the flow of the operation of the elevator apparatus of the present invention. That is, the step in which the destination floor, that is, the car call is registered by the operation panel 9 in the car 2 is described as step 1. In step 2, the car 2 starts to move up and down (run), and further decelerates near the destination floor. Start (step 3).
Next, the determination circuit 15 determines whether or not the landing floor is registered with a car call, and if the landing floor is not registered with a car call (in this case, a hall call is registered). ) Flying to step 12, the car 2 is landed, the door 5 is opened (step 13), and this control ends.

However, if it is determined in step 4 that the floor is the floor on which the car call has been registered, the process proceeds to step 5 to determine whether or not there is a passenger in the car 2 based on the detection output of the sensor 10. The judgment is made by the judgment circuit 15. Again,
If there is no passenger in the car 2, the process jumps to step 12 to land the car 2, but if there is a passenger in the car 2, the process proceeds to step 6. In step 6, the determination circuit 15 determines whether or not the landing floor has a hall call registered. If the landing floor has not been registered as a hall call (in this case, a car call is registered). Yes) Step 1
Fly to 2 and land car 2. When the hall call operating device 6 is operated and it is determined in step 6 that the floor is a landing floor for which hall call registration has been performed, the process proceeds to step 7 and the car 2 moves to the landing hall 4 on the landing floor. It is determined whether or not a message relating to landing is to be flown. If the setting is made not to flow, the flow goes to step 12 to land the car 2 and if the message is set to flow, Proceed to step 8 and step 11.

At this time, in step 8, the message output section 16 selects a message segment to be played, and proceeds to step 9 to supply the message data to the speech synthesis circuit 8 and convert the message data into speech. Then, in step 10, a message set in advance is announced. At the same time, a message set in advance on the hall display device 7 is displayed as step 11. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 12, where the car 2 is landed, and furthermore, in step 13, the door 2 is opened, and a series of controls is ended.

The present invention can be implemented in various modified forms without being limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, even if the sensor 10 does not necessarily detect whether or not there is a passenger in the car 2, when the registration data of the landing floor is received from both the car call registration circuit 12 and the hall call registration circuit 14, the landing guidance A message may be sent from the device 7 or the speech synthesizer 8. However, by adding the detection of the presence of a passenger in the car 2 by the sensor 10 to one of the conditions for sending a message, when a button operation for destination floor registration is performed by mistake, It is possible to avoid the inconvenience of notifying that there is a dropping-off passenger even though there is no passenger.

Further, in the car 2, a landing hall 4
By providing a guidance device and a voice synthesis device similar to the landing guidance device 7 and the voice synthesis device 8 provided in the car, a message informing that there is a waiting passenger on the landing floor can be made to flow into the car 2. Both the disembarking passenger and the passenger can have the same recognition, and the risk of collision of the passengers can be effectively avoided.
