(For example, see Patent Document 1).

JP-A-8-209968

  In such a conventional automobile elevator, the functions in safety such as notifying the user of the prohibition of entering the car and notifying the user when the size of the car is larger than the allowable car size are naturally enhanced, There were few things which considered the function which considered the operation efficiency of the elevator for cars.

  For example, the door opening and closing method in an automobile elevator is basically an upward opening in which the door moves up and down. Although the vehicle height varies depending on the vehicle type, the door opening operation is fully open regardless of the vehicle height, and it takes time to open and close the door, reducing the operation efficiency.

  The present invention provides an elevator door control device for an automobile that can safely get on and off without detecting the height of the automobile and opening the door appropriately in accordance with the height.

  The present invention provides vehicle height detection means for detecting the height of an automobile riding in a car, door opening amount detection means for detecting the door opening amount of an elevator door, and the door opening amount according to the detected vehicle height. And a door device for opening the elevator door while monitoring the door opening detection means.

  In this invention, the operation efficiency of the elevator for automobiles is improved by opening the doors to the appropriate height according to the height of the automobile (door opening and closing) so that the door is not fully opened.

  In the present invention, the height of the automobile is detected and the door is opened appropriately according to the height. In order to detect the height of the vehicle to be boarded, a vehicle height detection device such as a photoelectric device is installed at the landing gate, and when the car is called, the gate is passed, and the operation status of the vehicle height detection device when passing through the gate is stored. Then, the door opening amount is determined according to the operation state of the vehicle height detection device and the situation of other calls, and the door opening amount is adjusted by the door opening detection switch operation installed at the landing and the car.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
1-3 is a figure which shows the specific example of the elevator door control apparatus for motor vehicles by one Embodiment of this invention. 1 is a device configuration diagram, FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram, and FIG. 3 is an operation flowchart. In each figure, the part shown with the same code | symbol shows the same or equivalent part. In FIG. 1, the landing door device 1 performs opening / closing control of the landing door 2 on the landing side, and the car door device 5 performs opening / closing control of the car door 6 on the car 4 side. The landing gate 8 is a gate that passes when the automobile rides on the elevator car 4, and a plurality of pairs of vehicle height detection devices 9 a provided by changing the height of the photoelectric device or the like to detect the height of the automobile. To 9d. That is, the vehicle height detection devices 9a to 9d are provided in pairs on both sides of the landing gate 8 through which the automobile passes, and detect the vehicle height by blocking light by the passage of the automobile. On the landing side, detection of the vehicle height by the vehicle height detection devices 9a to 9d can be used as a landing call (not shown, but a landing button may be provided separately). An operation panel 4a for inputting a destination floor for calling is provided. The landing door opening detection switches 10a to 10d detect the opening amount of the landing door 2, and the car door opening detection switches 11a to 11d detect the door opening amount of the car door 6. These are provided along the moving direction when the doors 2 and 6 are opened and closed, and mechanically, electrically or optically detect the front end position of the door, and thus the open position. The landing door 2 and the car door 6 are elevator doors.

  In the functional block diagram of FIG. 2, the vehicle height storage device 12 uses the vehicle height of a car that gets on and off the car 4 detected by the vehicle height detection devices 9a to 9d as the height of the hall, and the operation panel is The vehicle height after being operated is memorized while switching as the car height. The door opening amount determination device 13 determines the necessary door opening amounts of the landing door 2 and the car door 6 from the height of the automobile stored in the vehicle height storage device 12. In particular, as will be described later, the door opening amount at the stop floor of the car is determined based on the higher of the hall call and the car call height related to the floor stored in the vehicle height storage means 12. The high storage device 12 and the door opening amount determination device 13 are configured by a memory and a logic circuit or a computer, and these are provided in a control device that controls the entire automobile elevator, and may be provided intensively on each floor, Alternatively, for example, it may be provided in the landing door device 1 on each floor and may be provided in a distributed manner by linking them. The car door device 5, the car door 6, and the car door opening detection switches 11a to 11d are configured only when there is a door on the car side.

  The door control device having the above configuration passes through the landing gate 8 when the vehicle registers the landing call, detects the vehicle height with the vehicle height detection devices 9a to 9d, and stores the vehicle height in the vehicle height storage device 12. When the door is opened by a call, the door opening amount is determined by the door opening amount determination device 13, and the landing door device 2 and the car door device 5 are used to drive the landing door 2 and the car door 6, corresponding to the determined door opening amount. The platform door opening detection switches 10a to 10d and the car door opening detection switches 11a to 11d are opened while monitoring them until they are operated, and the door opening amounts of the hall door 2 and the car door 6 are controlled.

  This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3. When the car registers a landing call, the vehicle passes through the landing gate 8 and inputs signals detected by the vehicle height detection devices 9a to 9d at this time (step S1). Next, the input signal is stored in the vehicle height storage device 12 as a vehicle height detection signal on the landing call side (step S2). Next, a hall call is registered, and the car 4 is controlled in response to the hall call (step S3). Next, check whether there is a car call for the hall call (that is, whether there is a car in the car 4 and the exit floor (car call) is the same as the floor where this hall call was made). If the car call floors are the same, the door opening amount determination device 13 compares the vehicle height detection signal on the landing call side and the vehicle height detection signal on the car side and determines the higher one as the door opening amount (step S4). ~ S7). Here, the car-side vehicle height detection signal is a vehicle height detection signal detected by the vehicle height detection devices 9a to 9d when the car in the car 4 gets on the car floor.

  Next, when the car 4 arrives at the floor where the hall call was made, the platform door opening detection switches 10a to 10d and the car door opening detection switches 11a to 11d corresponding to the determined door opening amount are operated. While monitoring, the landing door device 1 and the car door device 5 drive the landing door 2 and the car door 6 to open (step S8). Next, when the car is called by operating the operation panel 4a in the car 4 on the floor where the car call is made, the car height detection signal on the car call side is used as the car height detection signal on the car call side. The data is stored again in the high storage device 12 (step S9). Then, in response to this car call and arriving at the floor of the car call, if there is no landing call on that floor, the car height detection signal on the car call side is opened as the door opening amount (step 10).

  In this way, by detecting the vehicle height of an automobile that gets on and off and appropriately controlling the door opening amount, useless time due to unnecessary door opening and closing can be suppressed, and operation efficiency can be improved.
