The cab is provided with a boarding / alighting detection means 6 which also serves as a boarding / alighting detection means. The boarding / alighting detection means 6 detects that a passenger enters the car from the landing and also detects that the passenger gets off the car from the landing. Signals from the destination button 3, the door closing button 5, and the getting on / off detecting means 6 are sent to the healthy person discriminating means 7.

The operation of the elevator is controlled by operation control means 8. The operation control means 8 determines the normal mode and the door opening time (the time during which the door is open) compared to the normal mode.
The operation of the elevator is controlled by an operation mode including a disabled person mode in which the operation time is increased.

The healthy person discriminating means 7 judges whether the passenger who got on the car is a normal person or a disabled person, and when the passenger is judged to be a healthy person, changes the operation mode of the driving control means 8 to the disabled person. Switch from mode to normal mode. Except when it is determined that the person is a healthy person, the operation mode of the operation control means 8 is basically set to the disabled person mode.

More specifically, the healthy person discriminating means 7 sets a predetermined time from when the getting on / off detecting means 6 detects the passenger's entry to when the destination button 3 in the car room is operated. If not, it is determined that the passenger is a healthy person, and the operation mode of the operation control means 8 is switched from the disabled person mode to the normal mode.

When the car arrives at the destination floor designated by the passenger determined as a healthy person by the healthy person discriminating means 7, the driving control means 8 sets the driving mode to the normal mode and controls the door opening time. I do.

Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 3 is FIG.

In this state, it is confirmed whether the destination button 3 has been operated within a preset time (step S4). If the destination button 3 is operated within the set time, it is recognized that the passenger has operated the destination button 3 immediately after boarding, so the healthy person determination means 7 determines that the passenger is a healthy person.

Then, the destination floor operated by the passenger determined to be a healthy person is stored (step S5). The operation mode is switched from the disabled mode to the normal mode, and the door opening time is changed to the normal mode door opening time (step S6). That is, the door opening time is changed from the always set non-interference time for a disabled person (about 10 seconds) to a non-interference time for a hall call for a healthy person (about 4 seconds).

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a driving control method at the time of getting off by the control device of FIG. First, it is checked whether the landing door on the destination button operation floor is open (step S11). When the landing door is opened, it is confirmed whether or not the landing floor is the destination floor designated and stored by the passenger determined to be a healthy person by the healthy person determination means 7 (step S12).

When the landing floor that has been opened is the stored destination floor, the operation mode is switched from the disabled mode to the normal mode, and the door opening time is changed to the normal mode door opening time (step). S13). That is, the door opening time is
The non-interference time for a disabled person (about 10 seconds), which is always set, is changed to the non-interference time for a car call for a healthy person (about 2 seconds).

According to such an elevator operation control device, the door opening operation is always controlled in the disabled person mode, and the door opening time is shortened only when it is determined that the passenger is a healthy person. Even a visually impaired person who cannot read is able to determine that the person is a visually impaired person and sufficiently secure the door opening time. In addition, since it is determined whether or not the person is healthy based on the operation time of the passenger, persons with disabilities other than the visually impaired,
For example, a passenger with a disability can also be distinguished from a healthy person, and a sufficient door opening time can be secured.

That is, since the door opening time is changed according to the time required for the passengers to get on and off, the door opening time suitable for all passengers can be selected, and the driving efficiency can be improved.

Embodiment 2 FIG. In the first embodiment, whether or not the passenger is a healthy person is determined based on the time from the ride on the car to the operation of the destination button 3. For example, the car arrives at the landing and starts the door opening operation. After that, it may be determined whether or not the time until the detection of the boarding of the passenger is within a preset time.

Embodiment 3 Alternatively, it may be determined whether or not the time from when the car arrives at the landing and the door opening operation is started to when the destination button in the car is operated is within a preset time.

Embodiment 4 Furthermore, it may be determined whether or not the time from when the destination button 3 in the car is operated in the door open state to when the door close button 5 in the car is operated is within a preset time. Also, the above-described determination method may be combined as an and condition or an or condition. That is, a healthy person may be determined when all the conditions of the plurality of determination methods are satisfied, or a healthy person may be determined when any one of the conditions is satisfied.

Embodiment 5 Furthermore, when the car arrives at the destination floor designated by the passenger determined to be a healthy person by the healthy person discriminating means 7, the getting on / off detecting means 6
When the getting-off of the passenger is detected, the door-closing operation may be started immediately by the driving control means 8, and the door-opening state is not maintained more than necessary when the healthy person gets off, and the driving efficiency is improved. Can be improved.

In the above example, the door opening time is controlled in two stages of the normal mode and the disabled person mode. However, if the time required for the operation of the passenger is within the first set time, the first door opening time, If the time required for the operation of the passenger is within the second set time longer than the first set time, the second door open time longer than the first door open time, the time required for the operation of the passenger is longer than the second set time As long as it is within the long third set time, the third door opening time longer than the second door opening time may be set. That is, the door opening time is 3
The control may be performed by switching the number of stages or more, so that the operation efficiency can be improved.
