Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in an elevator crime prevention device.

Crime that acts as robbers and violence against passengers carrying suspicious passengers in midnight residential elevators is increasing, and countermeasures are required. Conventional techniques include installation of security cameras, collation (preliminary check) when boarding, stopping operation on each floor to prevent closed rooms, and the like. Also, as a late-night driving, measures are taken to make it easier to see the surroundings by stopping on each floor from the boarding to the target floor and performing a door opening operation.
For example, in Patent Document 1, a suspicious person is entered by inputting a password and the number of passengers before boarding, collating with the password code data, and comparing the number of people registered by the user with the number of passengers in the car. There is shown an elevator operation means for preventing the door from closing when the passenger enters the vehicle and performing a direct operation to the corresponding destination floor in response to the car call only when the number comparison means outputs a coincidence signal.
Moreover, in patent document 2, when the number of passengers in a cage | basket | car is one person, a crime prevention driving | operation is carried out independently, and when the number of passengers in a cage | basket is two or more persons with an acquaintance etc., a passenger selects the crime prevention driving | operation apparatus himself. It is possible to set it to non-operation and to perform crime prevention driving for multiple purposes, when the number of passengers set and the number of passengers do not match, an alarm is activated, and if they match, a direct operation is shown on the designated floor Yes.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-228561 discloses a method for counting the number of times of operation of a landing destination button, which relates to elevator group management in which elevators are assigned according to the number of passengers.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-237837 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-238042 JP 2000-219443 A

  In the case of a security device with only a conventional security camera installed, it is necessary to have a security guard stationed for each building in order to send the security guard to the scene at the same time as the incident occurs, which is difficult to realize from the viewpoint of cost. There was a case. Also, in the case of measures to make it easier to see the surroundings by driving to the target floor and then opening the doors to make it easier to see the surroundings as a late night operation, there are few people at midnight. It is not likely to be detected even if the vehicle is opened and stopped, and it is possible to board a suspicious person or board the middle floor, which is insufficient as a security measure. In the case of Patent Documents 1 and 2 in which these points are improved, a high crime prevention effect can be expected, but a dedicated button for crime prevention is required, and further, special information such as a personal identification code and the number of passengers that is not used in an ordinary elevator. There is a disadvantage that the operation is complicated.

  The elevator crime prevention apparatus according to the present invention includes an operation control unit that controls the operation of the hoisting machine and the door, a car control unit that is installed in the elevator car and controls the door operation, and is provided in each elevator hall of the reference floor. A hall operation panel having a destination floor registration button, provided in parallel to the destination floor registration button on the hall operation panel, and the number of passengers for each destination floor according to the number of times the destination floor registration button is pressed. Registered number display unit for registration display, number detection unit for detecting the actual number of people who have entered the elevator car, the number of people detected by this number detection unit when setting the crime prevention mode operation, and the destination floor registration button for each floor A number comparison unit that compares the registered number of persons, and an information processing unit that processes a result of the number comparison unit and sends a control signal for security mode driving determination to each control unit, When the number of passengers is detected in the control unit based on the control signal, and the number of passengers is more than the registered number, the doors are kept open for crime prevention. When the number of registered people is small, control means for sequentially operating in the crime prevention mode is provided to the registered multiple floors.

  According to the elevator crime prevention device of the present invention, it is possible to prevent a suspicious person from getting in with a simple operation that is the same as when using an ordinary elevator, so that safety can be ensured. Of course, one operation of pressing the destination floor registration button can call the car, perform the crime prevention driving by registering the destination floor reservation, and registering the number of passengers. However, since the structure is simplified, the cost increase due to the installation of the security device can be suppressed.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In addition, the same code | symbol shows the same or an equivalent part between each figure.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an elevator crime prevention system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
The control panel 1 of the elevator security device includes a number comparison unit 2 that compares the registered number and the actual number of passengers, and an information processing unit 3 that converts a signal from the number comparison unit into a control signal. The hoisting machine 5 and the operation control unit 4 that controls the operation of the door are included. In addition, the elevator car 8 is provided with a car controller 9 for controlling the door operation and a number detection device 10 for detecting the actual number of passengers in the elevator car. As a simple means for this number detection device, a method of detecting the number of people from the weight in the car can be considered. In addition to this, as a means to detect the number of people more accurately, infrared rays are emitted from the upper part of the door and the number of people is detected by the number of times the infrared rays are crossed. A method of detecting the number of people from a vehicle, a method of installing a camera in a car, analyzing a video and grasping the number of people, etc. are adopted (see Patent Literature 1, Patent Literature 2, and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-33500). .
In FIG. 1, 6 is a deflector, 7 is a counterweight, 11 is an elevator hall (landing) on the reference floor, and 12 is a hall operating panel provided in this elevator hall (landing). The number comparison unit 2 and the information processing unit 3 can be configured outside the control panel 1.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the hall operating panel 12.
The hall operation panel includes a destination floor registration button 17, a registered number display unit 18 provided in parallel with the destination floor registration button for displaying the registered number of persons on each floor, and a cancel button 19 for correcting the registered number of persons. These members function as follows.
That is, when the destination floor registration button 17 corresponding to the destination floor is pressed, the number displayed on the registered number display unit 18 increases by one. Accordingly, the number of registered persons increases every time the destination floor registration button 17 is pressed, and the number of passengers is registered in the registered number display section 18 for each destination floor according to the number of times the destination floor registration button 17 is pressed. Is displayed.
As will be described in detail in paragraph 0013, when the cancel button 19 is pressed and then any destination floor registration button 17 is pressed immediately thereafter, the link between the cancel button 19 and the destination floor registration button 17 causes the floor Can be reduced by one person. As a result, the number of registered persons can be corrected, and the corrected number of persons is displayed on the registered number display unit 18.

Next, according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, for example, a driving operation (when the crime prevention mode operation is set) in a time zone in which the crime prevention mode operation is required will be described.
First, on the reference floor, the passenger reserves a destination floor with the destination floor registration button 17 on the hall operating panel 12 (S1). At this time, all passengers press the destination floor registration button 17. For example, if there are two passengers heading to the 8th floor, the 8th floor button must be pressed twice. In addition, if there are passengers heading to the fifth floor, it is necessary to press the buttons on the fifth floor for the number of people. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the scheduled number of passengers for each floor (= the number of times the button has been pressed) is displayed in the registered number display section 18 immediately next to the destination floor registration button 17.
When the elevator car 8 moves to the reference floor (S2) and the car 8 arrives and opens (S3), the crime prevention mode is turned on (S4).
At this time, that is, when the crime prevention mode is turned on, in order to prevent a suspicious person from boarding, the destination floor registration by the hall operating panel 14 and the in-car operating panel (not shown) is disabled.
When a passenger enters the car 8, the number of people detection device 10 detects the number of passengers in the car and the number comparison unit 2 compares the registered total number of people with the number of passengers (S5). In step (S6), a comparison value is determined. If the number of passengers does not exceed or exceeds the number of registered persons (NO in S6), the car door is closed based on the signal processed by the information processing unit 3 and a direct operation is performed on the registered floor (S8). For example, if the number of registrations on the 5th floor is 1 and the number of registrations on the 8th floor is 2, if the number of passengers in the car is 3 or less, direct operation to the destination floor is started.
As described above, when there are a plurality of destination floors (in the case of YES in S10), the number of persons getting off is subtracted from the registered number of persons each time the destination floor is reached (S101). Are compared (S5), and the process proceeds to step S6 and subsequent steps.
However, when it is detected that the number of people in the car is 0 (YES in S7), since there is no need for service, the crime prevention mode is canceled and the normal operation is resumed (S11).
When all the services are completed, the security mode is canceled and the normal operation is resumed (S11).

  If the number of passengers is greater than the registered number (YES in S6), there is a possibility that a suspicious person is in the car, so the number of passengers is compared again (S12), and in the judgment of the next step (S13), If the number of passengers is larger than the registered number (YES), the departure to the destination floor is canceled and the door is opened (S14).

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram when the alarm control system according to the second embodiment of the present invention is provided in the elevator crime prevention device of the first embodiment.
An alarm control unit 13 for controlling the alarm control system is provided in the control panel 1, an announcement device 14 is provided in the car, and an abnormality in the car is provided in a waiting area 15 for a guard. An abnormality alarm 16 is provided for informing the security guard. The alarm control unit 13 can be installed outside the control panel 1 in the same manner as the number comparison unit 2 and the information processing unit 3.
The operation of the notification system will be described below based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
If the number of passengers is greater than the number of registered passengers, the departure to the destination floor is canceled, the doors are opened (see S6 to S14 in FIG. 3), and a warning is given that the number of passengers is different using the announcement device 14 in the car. (S16-1). Further, the number of people is detected again after a certain time (S16-2), and if the number of passengers does not decrease (YES in S16-3), an alarm buzzer is sounded from the announcement device 14 and the abnormality alarm 16 is turned on. It is used to notify the security guard and the like that it is abnormal (S16-4).
If the number of passengers decreases (NO in S16-3), the service is provided in the crime prevention mode (S16-5).
According to the second embodiment, when the number of registered people and the number of passengers are different, attention is given by announcement, and if the number of people does not change, an alarm is sounded and a security guard is also notified, so the crime prevention effect is enhanced. be able to.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
FIG. 6 shows a registered number correction control system for registering and correcting the number of registered persons associated with an input error in destination floor registration, which is the third embodiment of the present invention, in the elevator crime prevention device of the first embodiment. It is a flowchart at the time of execution. The registration correction of the registered number is performed by the cancel button 19 shown in FIG.
The operation will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In order to correct the number of registered persons due to an input mistake in the destination floor reservation registration or the like, when canceling the input that has been missed, first the cancel button 19 is pressed (S19-1), and the destination floor registration button of the floor to be subsequently cancelled. 17 is pressed (S19-2). By pressing this destination floor registration button, the registered number of people on that floor can be reduced by one (S19-3).
If you want to reduce more than two people (YES in S19-4), after reducing one person, press the cancel button 19 again (S19-1), and then repeat the operation of pressing the destination floor registration button 17 You can reduce the number of registered people.
If necessary (NO in S19-4), the number of registered people is increased (S19-5), and the correction of the registered number is completed (S19-6). Alternatively, the correction of the registered number is completed without increasing the registered number (S19-6).
According to the third embodiment, when there is an input error during destination floor registration, the number of registered persons can be corrected with a simple operation using a cancel button.

  The crime prevention driving function explained above was in consideration of the situation of night driving, but even when used in the daytime considering the recent increase in crime, the operation is troublesome compared to a normal elevator. It is considered that there is no problem. When the crime prevention function is used only at night, it can be implemented by providing a timer and automatically switching the function ON / OFF. In addition, according to the present invention, the exact number of passengers can be ascertained for each destination floor, so that it is possible to reduce waiting time by using group management (see Patent Document 3) during normal driving. is there.
