Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 22, in a hall 1 of an elevator shared by a normal person and a physically handicapped person, a call registration apparatus 2 for the normal person and a call registration apparatus 3 for the handicapped person are separately provided. ing. The call registration device 2 for healthy persons is provided with call registration buttons 4 and 5 for the upper floor and the lower floor, respectively. The call registration device for persons with disabilities 3 is provided with a mark 6 indicating that it is equipment for persons with disabilities and call registration buttons 7 and 8 for upper floors and lower floors, respectively. Further, the call registration device for physically disabled persons 3 is arranged below the call registration device 2 for healthy persons to facilitate the button operation of the wheelchair user.

When the call registration buttons 7 and 8 of the call registration device 3 for disabled persons are operated, the operation mode of the elevator becomes the operation mode in which the disabled person is prioritized. As a result, the car arrives preferentially on the floor that has been registered as a call, and
The door opening time of the car becomes longer.

However, it is not well known to the healthy person that the elevator enters the operation mode in which the disabled person is prioritized when the call registration device for disabled person 3 is operated. Therefore, a healthy person operates the call registration buttons 7 and 8 of the call registration device 3 for physically handicapped persons without being particularly concerned. Further, it is general that even if a child operates the call registration buttons 7 and 8 of the call registration device 3 for physically handicapped persons, he / she does not pay attention.

As a result, if a person with a disability operates the call registration device 3 for persons with disabilities in a complicated manner, the operation efficiency of the elevator will be significantly reduced. Also, when a disabled person uses the elevator, a fully-equipped car will arrive.

Therefore, some proposals have been made in order to inform the elevator users of the difference between the call registration device 2 for the healthy person and the call registration device 3 for the handicapped person. For example,
A technology has been proposed in which, when a wheelchair-only destination floor button in a car is pressed, a guidance broadcast is broadcast so that the button is pressed again, and only when the button is pressed again, the elevator is driven in a driving mode for persons with disabilities. In addition, a technology has been proposed in which the elevator is driven in the driving mode for the disabled only after the call registration button is pressed within a certain time after the call registration button for the disabled is pressed.

[0007]

The image of the elevator hall 101 taken by the camera 104 is analyzed by an image identification means (not shown) built in the control means 103, and it is identified whether or not there is a wheelchair user in the elevator hall 101.

As shown as a flow chart in FIG. 21, the control means 103 determines in S11 whether the disabled call registration button 102 has been operated. If the determination result is YES, the image identification means determines in S12 whether or not the wheelchair user is in the elevator hall based on the image identification. If the determination result is YES, the control unit 103 registers the call for persons with disabilities in S13. Along with this, an elevator operation control device (not shown) starts the elevator operation in the operation mode giving priority to disabled persons.

On the other hand, if the determination result in S12 is NO, the control means 103 registers a call for healthy persons in S14. Along with this, an elevator operation control device (not shown) operates the elevator in the general operation mode.

When the elevator is operated in the disabled person priority mode, the control means 103 controls the elevator hall 101.
Speaker (broadcasting means) 105 provided on the ceiling of the car and speaker (broadcasting means) 1 provided in the car 106
07 is used to broadcast a predetermined guidance broadcast. For example, for a passenger waiting in an elevator hall on a floor different from the floor where the wheelchair user P is present, the elevator is being driven in a driving mode in which the disabled person is given priority, so do not stop at that floor. Broadcast to pass. Also, the car 10
Broadcast to passengers in 6 that people with disabilities in wheelchairs will come on board.

As a result, the passenger waiting in the elevator hall can know that the elevator is being operated in the operation mode giving priority to the handicapped person and that the elevator is passing through the floor. Also, passengers in the car can know that a wheelchair user is getting in,
You can take actions with consideration for people with disabilities, such as opening a space for a wheelchair. In addition, understanding that the elevator may be operated in a mode giving priority to persons with disabilities, that the call registration device for healthy persons and the call registration device for persons with disabilities are different, and the like are deepened. As a result, the disabled person can use the elevator without feeling bothersome, and it is possible to prevent the healthy person from operating the call registration button in a complicated manner and improve the operation efficiency of the elevator.

Although the respective embodiments of the elevator call registration apparatus according to the present invention have been described above in detail, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made. . For example,
In the call registration device of the tenth embodiment described above, the call registration button for persons with disabilities in the call registration devices described in the first to ninth embodiments can be used.

[0067]

As is apparent from the above description, in the elevator call registration apparatus according to the present invention, the call registration for the physically challenged is performed only when the call registration button and the auxiliary button are simultaneously pressed, and the elevator operation mode is set. Becomes a driving mode that gives priority to people with disabilities. Further, since the call registration button and the auxiliary button are arranged close to each other, the handicapped person can press both buttons with one finger at the same time. Also,
You can call the car with one button operation,
There is no need to feel annoyed when using the elevator. In addition, since healthy persons and children do not know the meaning of the provision of the auxiliary button, there is a high probability that only the call registration button will be pressed. You may press the auxiliary button, but it is unlikely to press both buttons at the same time. As a result, even if a healthy person or a child easily pushes only the call registration button, the operation efficiency of the elevator does not decrease. Therefore, according to the present invention, an elevator that can be operated by a physically handicapped person without feeling bothersome and that can prevent an easy use of the call registration device for the physically handicapped person by a healthy person to improve the operation efficiency of the elevator. The call registration device can be provided.
