  Recently, in the housing such as condominiums, those that can live with pets are increasing, and the installed elevator is prepared for pet riding operation that allows the passengers to ride with pets. However, there is a risk that a “caught” accident will occur when the elevator is started in a pet riding operation. For example, after a pet companion who connected a pet with a string or chain got on the elevator together with the pet, when the pet jumped out of the elevator during the door closing operation, the door closed in that state and the safety device did not work In such a case, there was a risk that the elevator started to move with the string or chain sandwiched between them.

  In a conventional elevator, when a user operates a hall call button provided at a hall of each floor, the car stops on the floor and opens. When the user registers the destination floor and the predetermined time has elapsed, the user automatically closes and departs to the target floor. In addition, there are door safety devices such as photoelectric devices and safety door edges, but these safety devices are mainly provided for users (human beings). It is extremely difficult to detect a string or chain connected to a pet that has been pinched by the lower end of the door when the door is closed, and the elevator starts without the safety device operating. In addition, the elevator cannot be immediately stopped suddenly in the above-described case, and improvement of this kind of accident prevention measures expected to occur immediately after startup has been desired.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide an elevator control device that can be used without being caught between a passenger and a pet accompanying the pet. To do.

  The elevator control device according to the present invention includes a door closing button disposed in the elevator car for closing the car door, and a pet accompanying operation for switching the operation mode of the elevator between the normal operation mode and the pet accompanying operation mode. When the switch is switched to the pet accompanying operation mode, the door closing operation is performed while the door closing button is being pressed, and the door opening operation is performed when the door closing button is released during the door closing operation.

  This invention outputs a door closing operation command while the door closing button is pressed when it detects that the door closing button has been pressed, and reverses the door that is about to close when the door closing button is released during the door closing operation. By performing the door-opening operation, it is possible to provide an elevator control device that can use the elevator without the passenger and pet accompanying the pet being caught by the door even if the pet jumps out of the car.

As shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a drive device that drives the car 3 up and down by a control command from the elevator control device 2, and 4 denotes a door (not shown) at the entrance / exit of the car 3 by a control command from the elevator control device 2. It is a door opening and closing drive device that opens and closes. Reference numeral 5 denotes an in-car operation panel provided in the vicinity of the doorway for the passengers of the car 3 to operate. The door closing button 11 for closing the door of the doorway (not shown) and the raising / lowering operation of the car 3 are urgently performed. An emergency stop button 12 for stopping is provided. Furthermore, the pet accompanying operation switch 13 which switches the driving operation of the elevator from the normal operation mode to the pet accompanying operation mode when the passenger rides with the pet is provided.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the elevator control apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, 21 is an operation mode determination means for detecting the state of the pet accompanying operation switch 13 and determining either the normal operation mode or the pet accompanying operation mode. Reference numeral 22 denotes an emergency stop determination unit that detects that the emergency stop button 12 has been operated and determines whether or not to make an emergency stop. Further, reference numeral 23 denotes an elevator control means for instructing the drive device 1 to move the elevator up and down based on the determination results of the operation mode determination means 21 and the emergency stop determination means 22.

  Here, when 24 detects that the door closing button 11 has been pressed, it outputs a door closing operation command while the door closing button 11 is being pressed. Door open / close determining means for outputting a door open / close operation command when the door close button 11 is released before detecting the fully closed state, and 25 is a door open / close drive device according to the door open / close operation command output by the door open / close determining means 24. 4 is a door opening / closing control means for controlling the door 4 to open and close the door of the car. The elevator control means 23 outputs a command for opening / closing the car door to the door opening / closing control means 25, and the door operating state (position) is input from the door opening / closing control means 25.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 3 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart explaining the control content of the control apparatus of the elevator which concerns on. The control program shown in this flowchart is implemented in the elevator control device 2. The operation will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, in step S1, the state of the pet accompanying operation switch 13 is detected, and it is determined whether the operation mode is the normal operation mode or the pet accompanying operation mode. And when it is not pet companion operation mode, operation | movement is complete | finished as normal operation mode (step S1->S2-> end).

  Next, when it is determined that the pet-accompanying operation mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S3. When it is detected in step S3 that the car 3 has arrived at the floor where the hall call is registered, the door-opening standby mode is set. And it progresses to step S4 and it is determined whether the door closing button 11 is kept pushed. If the door close button 11 is not kept pressed in step S4, the process returns to step S3 (step S4 → S3). Here, if the door closing button 11 is kept pressed in step S4, a door closing operation command is output and the process proceeds to step S5.

  Further, in a state where the door closing button 11 is kept pressed in step S5, it is determined whether the door closing is completed, that is, whether the door closing detection sensor 14 detects the door fully closed. At this time, if the door closing button 11 is released before the door closing completion is detected, the process proceeds to step S6. In step S6, a door opening operation command is output and a reverse door opening operation is performed. That is, if the car door is not completely closed, the door of the car that is about to close is reversed and opened by releasing the door close button 11.

  If it is detected in step S5 that the door closing button 11 is kept pressed and the door is closed, that is, the door is fully closed, the process proceeds to step S10. Next, the car is departed to the destination floor registered in step S10, and the operation is terminated (step S10 → end).

  As described above, when the pet accompanying operation mode is selected, when it is detected that the door closing button 11 is pressed, the door closing operation command is output while the door closing button 11 is pressed, When the door closing button 11 is released before the closing detection sensor 14 detects the door closing, the door that is about to close is reversed and the door is opened, so that even if the pet jumps out of the cage, the passenger accompanying the pet And the elevator can be used without pets being caught in the door.

Embodiment 2. FIG.

It is a flowchart explaining the control content of the control apparatus of the elevator which concerns on. 4, the first embodiment shown in FIG. The same parts as those in FIG. The control program shown in this flowchart is implemented in the elevator control device 2. The operation will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Up to step S5, the first embodiment. It is the same. Here, when the door closing button 11 is kept pressed in step S5, when the door closing completion, that is, the door fully closed is detected, the process proceeds to step S7 (step S5 → S7).

  In step S7, it is determined whether or not the emergency stop button 12 has been pressed. That is, the user presses the emergency stop button 12 when the door is fully closed and the elevator starts to move with the pet popping out of the cage for some reason. At this time, if it is detected in step S7 that the emergency stop button 12 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S8 (step S7 → S8).

  Next, in step S8, an emergency stop command is output to the drive device 1. And it progresses to step S9, the command which makes the car which carried out an emergency stop relevel (flooring) operation | movement to a departure floor is output, it returns to step S3, and it is made to wait for door opening (step S8-> S9-> S3).

  If the emergency stop button 12 is not pressed in step S7, the process proceeds to step S10. Next, the car is departed to the destination floor registered in step S10 and the operation is terminated (step S10 → end).

  As described above, when the pet is popped out of the car for some reason and the door is fully closed and the elevator starts to move, the emergency stop button 12 is detected and the car is emergency stopped. Then, after performing a releveling (flooring) operation to the departure floor and performing a door-opening standby operation, even if the pet jumps out of the cage, the passenger who accompanied the pet and the pet can be used without being caught between the doors.
