The car 2 includes an entrance-only platform 21a and a boarding-only platform 23b, which are located in the same area, and an exit-only platform 2a.
The service is performed by moving up and down between the 2a and the exit-only landing 21b.

The car 2 has two directions, that is, a front door 3a and a back door 3b, and a push button switch for generating a car call is provided near each of the front door 3a and the back door 3b in the car 2. An in-car operation panel 4a and an in-car operation panel 4b having a push button switch (hereinafter, referred to as a car call button and a door open / close button) (which is not necessary in the case of an automatic call described later) and a door open / close push button are provided. In FIG. 1, each door 3a,
Although the in-car operation panel 4a and the in-car operation panel 4b are provided near 3b, they may be provided at one place in the car 2.

In the car 2, there are provided car output devices 6a and 6b for outputting voice and display for notifying the operation contents of the elevator, and a passenger detection for detecting whether or not a passenger is in the car 2. A device 5 is provided.

On the other hand, a control device 10 for controlling the operation of the car 2
Is connected to the in-car operation panel 4a and the in-car operation panel 4b, the in-car output devices 6a and 6b, the landing call registration devices 7a and 7b, and the landing output devices 8a and 8b. It is provided in a three-sided frame door pocket that constitutes the door. The control device 10 opens and closes only the door (including the landing side door) on the side of the car 2 having the front door 3a and the rear door 3b in the front and rear directions, and opens and closes the opposite door. Do prohibited driving. That is, between the entrance-only platform 21a and the boarding-only platform 23b in the same area, and between the exit-only platform 22a and the exit-only platform 21b.
Only between the service.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the control device 10. As shown in FIG. When a call is input from the in-car operation panel 4 or the hall call registration device 7, the control device 10 registers the call and notifies the in-car operation panel 4 or the hall call registration device 7 that generated the call. Response means 16 for notifying
An informing means 17 for informing the car output device 6 and the landing output device 8 of the operation status of the elevator; an operation control means 18 for controlling the operation of the car 2 in accordance with the call registered in the call response means 16; Door opening and closing means 19 for performing
And a passenger detecting means 20 for determining whether or not a passenger exists from the passenger detecting device 5 installed in the car 2.

Now, it is assumed that a landing call is generated from any of the landing call registration devices 7. The call response means 16 registers the hall call, and notifies the hall call registration device 7, the notifying means 17, and the operation control means 18 which have generated the call of the registration. When the hall call is registered in the call response unit 16, the notifying unit 17 informs the driver in the area opposite to the hall output device 8 in the other area that the operation is in the area where the hall call is registered. Notify that it is in use.

The operation control means 18 includes the call response means 1
If there is no notification of a hall call from 6 when there is no hall call currently being processed, a car drive command is output to a drive device for driving car 2 so that car 2 can respond to the hall call. Drive 2 to the floor where the hall was called. When car 2 arrives at the floor where the hall was called,
The door opening / closing means 19 opens the door 3 on the side where the hall was called.

In this state, the passenger detecting means 20 detects whether or not the passenger has entered the car 2. When the passenger detecting means 20 detects that the passenger has entered the car 2, the call answering means A command for automatically generating a car call is output to 16. This is because, in the first embodiment, the elevator floor provided in the station building has only two floors, an upper floor and a lower floor, and thus the car call destination floor is specified as one floor. is there.

When a car call is automatically generated from the call response means 16, the operation control means 18 outputs a command to the door opening / closing means 19, closes the door 3, and operates the car 2 to the car call destination floor. In addition, when a car call is automatically generated from the call response unit 16, the notification unit 17 outputs information on the direction in which the door opens to the in-car output device 6. When the car 2 arrives at the car call destination floor, the operation control means 18 outputs a command to the door opening / closing means 19 to open the door 3.

In this state, the operation control means 18 determines from the information from the call response means 16 whether or not a landing call has occurred in the same area as the landing floor or in a different area. If no call is made and no passenger is present in the car 2, a command is output to the door opening / closing means 19 to close the door 3 and end the operation. Then, when the hall call is registered in the call response means 16, it responds to the registered hall call. For example, when there is a hall call in the other area while driving in one area, the registration is accepted, and when the current operation is completed, the hall call in the other area is answered.

If a passenger still exists in the car 2 after a lapse of a predetermined time, even if the passenger has landed on the floor on which the car call registration has been made, the in-car output device 6 and the landing output device 8 An alarm is generated. This is because it is considered an abnormal situation or mischief in which the passenger could not get off for some reason.

Next, FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control device 10 in the first embodiment in the case of an automatic call generation. The control device 10 determines whether a landing call has occurred from any of the landing call registration devices 7 (S1). If a hall call is generated from one area side or the other area side, the hall call generated first is prioritized. If a hall call in one area has occurred, the hall output device 8 in the other area is notified that the elevator is being used in one area to the hall in the other area (S2). In other words, the fact that the driving is limited in one area is notified to the user at the landing in the other area. For example, a voice output saying "I am using it at the other side of the landing. Please wait for a while" or output it to the indicator light.

Then, the car 2 is driven to the floor with the hall call and the door 3 is opened (S3). Here, it is determined whether or not the passenger has got into the car 2 (S4). If it is not detected that the user has got on the car 2 even after a certain time has elapsed, it is determined that the call is an erroneous landing call. The judgment is made, the door 3 is closed, the notification of the area-limited operation is released (S5), and the operation returns to the start standby state.

On the other hand, when a passenger is detected, a car call is automatically generated (S6). In the first embodiment, the elevator floor provided in the station building has only two floors, an upper floor and a lower floor, so the car call destination floor is specified as one floor. In consideration of the fact that there is a disabled person or an elderly person as a passenger, it is not necessary to operate the in-car operation panel 4 even if the passenger rides on the car 2.
Then, the door 3 is closed, the passenger in the car 2 is notified that the vehicle is being automatically driven, the vehicle is driven toward the car destination floor, and the direction in which the door 3 is opened during the operation is reported (S7). ). After landing on the car destination floor, door 3 in the same area
Is opened (S8).

Here, it is determined whether or not there is a hall call in the same area or another area (S9). If there is a hall call, it responds to the hall call in that area and opens the door 3 in that area. It opens and returns to the passenger discrimination process in the car of step S4, and repeats the process. In this case, when a hall call occurs in another area, the hall call in the other area is answered prior to the hall call in the same area.

If there is no landing call, the passengers in the car 2 are discriminated again (S10). If no passengers are detected, the door 3 is closed, and the notification of the area-limited operation ends (S11).
When a passenger is detected, after a lapse of a predetermined time (S18),
Open the door inside the same area, output an alarm and end (S
19). This is because even if the passenger arrives at the landing floor, the passenger is present in the car 2 and a predetermined time has elapsed, so it is considered that an abnormality has occurred in the passenger in the car 2. When an alarm occurs, the elevator manager goes straight to the elevator and checks whether there is any abnormal condition.

Next, FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control device 10 in the first embodiment when a passenger performs a car call operation in place of the automatic call generation. The control device 10 determines whether or not a landing call has occurred from any of the landing call registration devices 7. That is, monitoring is continuously performed until a landing call is generated (S20), and at the time of occurrence of the landing call, the area-limited operation is notified (S21), and the door is opened in response to the landing call (S22). Up to this point, the operation is the same as in FIG.

Next, it is determined whether or not the car call button on the destination floor has been pressed (S23). If the car call button has not been pressed, a notification of the promotion of car call registration is notified (S24), and the apparatus stands by for a predetermined time. (S25). Thereafter, the passengers in the car are determined (S
26) When there is a passenger in the car, the door inside the same area is opened, a warning is output (S40), and the process ends. If there are no passengers in the car, close the door and cancel the notification (S27),
Return to start waiting state. This is because the car call operation is not performed despite the response to the hall call.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 23 that the car call button has been pressed, the door is closed and the vehicle is driven to the car call destination floor (S28). After landing on the car call destination floor, the doors in the same area are opened (S29).

Then, it is determined whether or not there is a hall call in the same area or another area (S30). If there is a hall call, it responds to the hall call in that area and opens the door 3 in that area. Then, the process returns to the in-car passenger discriminating process in step S23, and the process is repeated. In this case, when a hall call occurs in another area, the hall call in the other area is answered prior to the hall call in the same area. If there is no landing call, the passenger in the car 2 is determined again (S
31) If the passenger is not detected, the door is closed, and the notification of the area-limited operation ends (S32).

If a passenger is detected in step S31, after a predetermined time has elapsed (S39), the door inside the same area is opened, an alarm is output (S40), and the process ends. this is,
This is because, even if the passenger arrives at the landing floor, the passenger is present in the car 2 and a predetermined time has elapsed, so it is considered that an abnormality has occurred in the passenger in the car 2. When an alarm occurs, the elevator manager goes directly to the elevator and checks whether there is any abnormal condition.

In the above description, at the upper part of the hoistway 1, on the common floor, the entrance-only landing 21a and the exit-only landing 2
1b, and two dedicated landings 21a, 21
On the lower floor of b, a predetermined area is divided by different floors,
In addition, a description has been given of a case in which a limited-floor platform having an exit (a dedicated platform for boarding 23b) in one area and an entrance (home 22a for alighting vehicle) in the other area is provided, respectively, as shown in FIG. As described above, on the common floor above the hoistway 1, there are provided a landing exclusive platform 22a and a riding exclusive platform 23b, and on the lower floors of the two exclusive landings 21a and 21b, different floors dedicated to entrances of different areas. The same applies to the case where the landing 21a and the exit-only landing 21b are provided.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, it is not necessary to separately provide two elevators for each predetermined area, so that it is possible to appropriately cope with location conditions without taking up installation space. It is economical. In addition, since each landing has a dedicated entrance, it is possible to improve the movement route of people and reduce congestion.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram of an elevator according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and shows a case where the elevator is installed in a station building. In this second embodiment, a common floor 24
a, 24b are entrances and exits having ticket gates 12 in both the one area and the other area divided by the hoistway 1, and the landing floors 22, 23 of the restricted floors are located on different floors in predetermined areas. Is partitioned and serves as an entrance to one area and the other area to reach a specific home.

The hoistway 1 is provided at a boundary that divides a predetermined area on the common floor.
Goes up and down. The car 2 is moved up and down by the drive device 9a via a rope 9b in balance with the counterweight 9c. The car drive system may be another system such as a hydraulic system or a linear system. The predetermined area is, for example, an area of one platform 24a and the platform 23 on the common floor and an area of the other platform 24b and the platform 22 on the common floor, and these are divided.

As shown in FIG. 6, at the upper part of the hoistway 1, common floor platforms 24a and 24b are provided on a common floor. Then, platforms 23 and 22 in different areas on different floors are provided below the landings 24a and 24b on the common floor.

Each of the landings 24a, 24b or the platforms 22, 23 is provided with a landing call registration device 7a, 7b having a button for generating a landing call, and a voice or display output for notifying the operation contents of the elevator. Landing output devices 8a and 8b are provided.

The car 2 ascends and descends between one platform 21a on the common floor and the platform 23 and the platform 22 and the other platform 24b on the common floor, which are the same area. The car 2 has two directions, that is, a front door 3a and a back door 3b, and a car call button (to be described later) for generating a car call is provided near each of the front door 3a and the back door 3b in the car 2. (This is not necessary when an automatic call occurs.) And an in-car operation panel 4a and an in-car operation panel 4b having a door opening / closing button are provided. FIG. 6 shows the case where the in-car operation panel 4a and the in-car operation panel 4b are provided in the vicinity of the respective doors 3a and 3b, but they may be provided at one place in the car 2.

The car 2 is provided with in-car output devices 6a and 6b for outputting sounds and displays for notifying the operation contents of the elevator, and for detecting whether a passenger is in the car 2 or not. A device 5 is provided.

On the other hand, a control device 10 for controlling the operation of the car 2
Is connected to the in-car operation panel 4a and the in-car operation panel 4b, the in-car output devices 6a and 6b, the landing call registration devices 7a and 7b, and the landing output devices 8a and 8b. It is provided in a three-sided frame door pocket that constitutes the door. The control device 10 opens and closes only the door (including the landing side door) on the side of the car 2 having the front door 3a and the rear door 3b in the front and rear directions, and opens and closes the opposite door. Do prohibited driving. In other words, service is provided only between one platform 21a of the common floor and the platform 23, which are the same area, and between the platform 22 and the other platform 24b of the common floor.

The block configuration of the control device 10 in this case is the same as that shown in FIG. That is, when a call is input from the in-car operation panel 4 or the hall call registration device 7, the control device 10 registers the call and generates the call in the in-car operation panel 4 or the hall call registration device 8. Call responding means 16 for notifying the fact, a notifying means 17 for notifying the in-car output device 6 and the landing output device 8 of the operation status of the elevator, and an operation for controlling the operation of the car 2 according to the call registered in the call responding means 16 It has a control means 18, a door opening / closing means 19 for opening / closing a door, and a passenger detection means 20 for judging whether or not a passenger is present by the passenger detection device 5 installed in the car 2.

Now, it is assumed that a hall call is generated from any hall call registration device 7. The call response means 16 registers the hall call and notifies the hall call registration device 7 that generated the call of the registration. In this state, when there is a hall call on the opposite side or a hall call on the same side, regardless of the opposite side and the same side, the call response means 16
Accepts the registration.

When the hall call is registered in the call responding means 16, the notification means 17 notifies the hall output device 9 on the opposite side where the hall call registered first is being used on the opposite side. .

The operation control means 18 is the call response means 1
If there is no notification of a hall call from 6 when there is no hall call currently being processed, a car drive command is output to a drive device for driving car 2 so that car 2 can respond to the hall call. Drive 2 to the floor where the hall was called. When car 2 arrives at the floor where the hall was called,
The door opening / closing means 19 opens the door 3 on the side where the hall was called.

In this state, the passenger detecting means 20 detects whether or not the passenger has entered the car 2. When the passenger detecting means 20 detects that the passenger has entered the car 2, the call answering means A command for automatically generating a car call is output to 16. This is because, in the second embodiment, the elevator floor provided in the station building has only two floors, an upper floor and a lower floor, and thus the car call destination floor is specified as one floor. It is.

When a car call is automatically generated from the call response means 16, the operation control means 18 outputs a command to the door opening / closing means 19, closes the door 3, and operates the car 2 to the car call destination floor. In addition, when a car call is automatically generated from the call response unit 16, the notification unit 17 outputs information on the direction in which the door opens to the in-car output device 7. When the car 2 arrives at the car call destination floor, the operation control means 18 outputs a command to the door opening / closing means 19 to open the door 3.

In this state, the operation control means 18 determines whether or not a hall call has occurred on the floor where the vehicle is to land, based on information from the call response means 16. When there is no passenger in the vehicle 2, a command is output to the door opening / closing means 19, the door 3 is closed, and the operation is completed.
Then, when the hall call is registered in the call response means 16, it responds to the registered hall call. For example, when there is a hall call in the other area while driving in one area, the registration is accepted and a response to the hall call in the other area is made when the current driving is completed. However, when a hall call occurs on the floor to be landed, the hall call on the floor to be landed is answered prior to the hall call on the opposite side.

When there is no landing call on the floor to be landed, but there is a passenger in the car 2, the operation control means 18 outputs a command to the notification means 17 and an abnormal condition occurs. Is determined. The notifying unit 17 determines whether the door opening / closing button has been pressed, and when the door opening / closing button has not been pressed despite the presence of a passenger in the car 2,
After a lapse of a predetermined time, an alarm is issued to the in-car output device 7 and the landing output device 9. This is considered to be an abnormal situation where the passenger could not get off for some reason.

Further, after responding to the car call, if there is no hall call on the floor to be landed and a passenger is present in the car and the door opening / closing button is pressed, the door 3 is closed, and after the door 3 is closed, When there is no car call or hall call, an alarm is issued to the in-car output device 6 and the hall output device 8 after a predetermined time has elapsed. Similarly, in this case, it is considered that the passenger is unable to get off for some reason.

Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control device 10 according to the second embodiment when an automatic call is generated. The control device 10 determines whether a hall call has been generated from any of the hall call registration devices 7 or not (S1). If a hall call has been generated from one area side or the other area side, the control apparatus 10 first determines whether a hall call has occurred. Give priority to the hall call that occurred in If a hall call has occurred in one area, the fact that the elevator is being used in one area is notified to the hall in the other area in response to the other hall call (S2). In other words, the fact that the driving is limited in one area is notified to the user at the landing in the other area.
For example, a voice output saying "I am using it at the other side of the landing. Please wait for a while" or output it to the indicator light.

Then, the car 2 is driven to the floor with the hall call and the door 3 is opened (S3). Here, it is determined whether or not the user has got into the car 2 (S4), and if it is not detected that the user has got into the car 2 even after a certain period of time,
The door 3 is determined to be an erroneous landing call, the door 3 is closed, the notification of the area-limited operation is released (S5), and the operation returns to the start standby state.

On the other hand, when a passenger is detected, a car call is automatically generated (S6). In the second embodiment, the elevator floor provided in the station building has only two floors, an upper floor and a lower floor, so the car call destination floor is specified as one floor. In consideration of the fact that there is a disabled person or an elderly person as a passenger, it is not necessary to operate the in-car operation panel 4 even if the user rides on the car 2.
Then, the door 3 is closed, the passenger in the car 2 is notified that the vehicle is being automatically driven, the vehicle is driven toward the car destination floor, and the direction in which the door 3 is opened during the operation is reported (S7). ). After landing on the car call destination floor, the door 3 in the same area is opened (S8).

Here, it is determined whether or not there is a hall call at the floor (the same area) where the floor is to be landed (S9). If there is a hall call, the process returns to step S4 to determine passengers in the car and repeats the process. . In this case, even if the hall call in the other area is registered, the hall call in the other area is kept waiting. In other words, when a hall call occurs on the floor to be landed, the hall call on the floor to be landed is answered prior to the hall call on the other area side.

If there is no hall call on the floor to be landed, the passengers in the car 2 are discriminated again (S10), and if no passengers are detected, the door 3 is closed and the notification of the area-limited operation ends (S10).
11). When a passenger is detected, it is determined whether or not the door open / close button has been pressed (S12). If the door open / close button has not been pressed, after a predetermined time has elapsed (S18), the door inside the same area is opened and an alarm is issued. Is output (S19) and the processing ends. This is because even if the passenger arrives at the landing floor, the passenger is present in the car 2 and the door opening / closing button has not been operated, and a predetermined time has elapsed, so it is considered that an abnormality has occurred in the passenger in the car 2. It is.

If the door open / close button has been pressed in the determination in step S12, the door is closed (S13), and it is determined whether a car call has occurred (S14). If a car call occurs,
It is assumed that another passenger has boarded the floor where the vehicle has landed, and the vehicle is driven toward the car call destination floor (S15). If a car call does not occur, it is further determined that a hall call has occurred in the same area (S16).
The door 3 is opened in response to the hall call (S3), but if a hall call does not occur, the car call registration is promoted (S1).
7). For example, a voice output of “Please press the car call button again” is performed.

This is considered to be the case when another passenger who got on the floor on which the vehicle arrived did not operate the operation panel 4 inside the car, but in the second embodiment, the elevator provided in the station building was This is because the floor has only two floors, an upper floor and a lower floor, so that when a hall call occurs, driving can be started at the destination floor.

Thereafter, after a lapse of a predetermined time (S18), the door 3 inside the same area is opened, an alarm is output (S19), and the process ends. This is because even if the passenger arrives at the landing floor, the passenger is present in the car 2 and the door opening / closing button is pressed,
This is because a notification that prompts the user to operate the car call button is issued and the operation is not performed even after a predetermined time has elapsed, so it is considered that an abnormality has occurred in the passengers in the car 2.
When an alarm occurs, the elevator manager goes straight to the elevator and checks whether there is any abnormal condition.

Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control device 10 in the second embodiment when the passenger performs a car call operation instead of the automatic call generation. The control device 10 constantly monitors until a hall call occurs (S2).
0), at the time of the occurrence of the hall call, notification of the area-limited operation is performed (S21), and the door is opened in response to the hall call (S22). The operation so far is the same as the operation in FIG.

Here, it is determined whether or not the car call button on the destination floor has been pressed (S23), and if the car call button has not been pressed, the notification of the promotion of the car call registration of the in-car operation panel on the door open side is notified. Then, the process waits for a predetermined time (S25). afterwards,
The passengers in the car are determined (S26). If there are passengers in the car, the door inside the same area is opened, an alarm is output, and the process ends (S40). If there is no passenger in the car, the door is closed and the notification is released (S27), and the process returns to the start standby state. This is because the car call operation is not performed despite the response to the hall call. The subsequent operations are the same as those in the case of the automatic call generation in FIG. 7 as described below.

If the car call button is depressed in the judgment of step 23, the door is closed and the car is driven to the car call destination floor (S28). Then, after landing on the car call destination floor, the door in the same area is opened (S29). Here, it is determined whether or not there is a hall call on the landing floor on the same area side (S30),
If there is a hall call, the process returns to the car call button press determination process of the car operation panel on the door open side in step S23 and repeats the process. If there is no landing call, the passengers in the car are discriminated again (S31), and if no passengers are detected, the door is closed and the notification of the area-limited operation ends (S32).

If a passenger is detected in the determination in step S31, it is determined whether or not the door open / close button has been pressed (S33).
If the door open / close button has not been pressed, after a predetermined time has elapsed (S3
9), the door inside the same area is opened, an alarm is output, and the process ends (S40).

If the door open / close button has been pressed in the determination in step S33, the door is closed (S34), and it is determined whether the car call button on the destination floor has been pressed (S35). If the car call button has been pressed, the vehicle is driven toward the car call destination floor (S36). If the car call button is not pressed,
It is determined whether or not a hall call on the same area side has occurred (S37),
If there is a hall call, the door is opened in response to the hall call (S22). If no hall call is generated, a notification of promotion of car call registration on the destination floor is issued (S38).

Thereafter, after a lapse of a predetermined time (S39), the door on the same area side is opened, an alarm is output, and the processing ends (S4).
0). This is because, even if the passenger arrives at the floor where the passenger has landed, the passenger is present in the car 2 and a predetermined time has elapsed, so it is considered that an abnormality has occurred in the passenger in the car 2. When an alarm occurs, the elevator manager goes directly to the elevator to check for any abnormal conditions.

According to the second embodiment, the landings 24a and 24b of the common floor serve as entrances to both the one area and the other area divided by the hoistway 1, so that the restricted floor is not used. Even when the landings 22 and 23 are divided into predetermined areas on different floors and serve as entrances and exits for connecting one area and the other area to the home, two elevators are separately provided for each predetermined area. There is no need to provide them. From this, installation space is not required, and it is economical because it can appropriately cope with location conditions. In addition, since the moving route (passage) to and from the user's destination floor can be divided, the flow of people can be improved and congestion can be reduced.

The present invention is not limited to the case where the boundaries of the areas are separated by floors according to the location and use conditions of the building, such as the departure lobby at the airport, the arrival lobby and the entrance of the ferry terminal, as well as the station building. Can be similarly applied.

[0075]

As described above, according to the present invention, the hoistway is installed at the boundary of a predetermined area and can be moved only to the predetermined area by controlling the opening and closing of the door. There is no need to provide two elevators in the facility. Therefore, it is economical because it does not require an installation space, can appropriately cope with location conditions.

Further, since each platform can be used as a dedicated entrance or the route (passage) to and from the destination floor can be divided,
The flow of people can be improved, congestion can be reduced, and passenger discomfort can be reduced.
