次に、動作について説明する。図２は、図１の運行制御装置６の動作を示すフローチャートである。運行制御装置６は、まず、エレベータを平常運転で制御しておき（ステップＳ１０１）、目的階検索装置１０によって訪問先が検索されたかどうかを判断する（ステップＳ１０２）。訪問先が検索されていなければ、平常運転での制御を維持し（ステップＳ１０１）、訪問先が検索されていれば、ビル１内のいずれか１台のかご２を専用運転かごとして群管理から切り離し、専用運転かごを目的階検索装置１０が設置された階から目的階への専用運転に割り当てる（ステップＳ１０３）。 Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the operation control device 6 of FIG. The operation control device 6 first controls the elevator in a normal operation (step S101), and determines whether or not a destination is searched by the destination floor search device 10 (step S102). If the visit destination is not searched, the control in the normal operation is maintained (step S101). If the visit destination is searched, any one of the cars 2 in the building 1 is used as a dedicated operation car from the group management. The dedicated operation car is separated and assigned to the dedicated operation from the floor where the destination floor search device 10 is installed to the destination floor (step S103).

次に、専用運転かご用に、目的階検索装置１０が操作された階での乗場呼び登録を自動的に行い（ステップＳ１０４）、目的階以外へのかご呼び登録を無効化するように制御する（ステップＳ１０５）。専用運転かごが、目的階検索装置１０が操作された階に到着したら、エレベータドアの上部に取り付けられた光電装置等（かご搭乗認識手段）により、訪問者９が専用運転かごに乗車したかどうかを判断し（ステップＳ１０６）、訪問者９が専用運転かごに乗車していない間は、所定の時間が経過したかどうかを判断する（ステップＳ１０７）。 Next, for the exclusive operation car, the hall call registration at the floor where the destination floor search device 10 is operated is automatically performed (step S104), and the car call registration to other than the destination floor is invalidated. (Step S105). When the dedicated driving car arrives at the floor where the destination floor search device 10 is operated, whether or not the visitor 9 gets in the dedicated driving car by a photoelectric device (car boarding recognition means) attached to the upper part of the elevator door (Step S106), and while the visitor 9 is not in the dedicated driving car, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed (step S107).

訪問者９が専用運転かごに乗車しておらず、所定の時間が経過していれば、専用運転かごを群管理に戻して平常運転に復帰させる（ステップＳ１０８）。所定の時間以内に訪問者９が専用運転かごに乗車していれば、目的階までのかご呼び登録を自動的に行い（ステップＳ１０９）、表示装置１２に訪問者９の来訪を知らせる通知信号を出力する（ステップＳ１１０）。通知信号を受けた表示装置１２は、内蔵するモニタに、訪問者９の来訪についてのメッセージを表示する。専用運転かごが目的階に到着すると、専用運転かごを群管理に戻して、平常運転に復帰させる（ステップＳ１１１）。 If the visitor 9 is not in the dedicated driving car and a predetermined time has elapsed, the dedicated driving car is returned to the group management and returned to the normal driving (step S108). If the visitor 9 is in the dedicated driving car within a predetermined time, the car call registration to the destination floor is automatically performed (step S109), and a notification signal for notifying the visitor 9 of the visit is displayed on the display device 12. Output (step S110). Upon receiving the notification signal, the display device 12 displays a message about the visit of the visitor 9 on the built-in monitor. When the dedicated operation car arrives at the destination floor, the dedicated operation car is returned to the group management and returned to the normal operation (step S111).

このように、この実施の形態によるエレベータの制御装置によれば、目的階検索装置１０に対する目的階の検索操作が行われると、いずれか１台のかご２を専用運転かごとして群管理から切り離し、専用運転かごを目的階検索装置１０が設置された階から目的階への専用運転に割り当てるので、目的階検索装置１０を操作した訪問者９（利用者）を効率よく目的階に移動させることができる。
また、目的階検索装置１０が設置された階において、専用運転かごの乗場呼び登録と、かご呼び登録とが自動で行われるので、目的階の間違いがなく、時間のロスを防ぐことができる。
さらに、専用運転かごの目的階以外へのかご呼び登録が無効化されるので、セキュリティ性を向上させることができる。
さらにまた、訪問先の部屋１１に設置される表示装置１２に、訪問者９の来訪を知らせる通知信号が出力されるので、通知信号を受けた表示装置１２に訪問者９の来訪のメッセージを表示させることによって、訪問者９が来たことを訪問先の人物に知らせ、訪問者９と訪問先の人物との行き違いを防ぐことができる。 Thus, according to the elevator control device according to this embodiment, when the destination floor search operation is performed on the destination floor search device 10, any one of the cars 2 is separated from the group management as a dedicated operation car, Since the dedicated operation car is assigned to the exclusive operation from the floor where the destination floor search device 10 is installed to the destination floor, the visitor 9 (user) who operated the destination floor search device 10 can be efficiently moved to the destination floor. it can.
In addition, since the hall call registration and the car call registration of the dedicated driving car are automatically performed on the floor where the destination floor search device 10 is installed, there is no mistake in the destination floor and time loss can be prevented.
Furthermore, since car call registration other than the target floor of the dedicated operation car is invalidated, security can be improved.
Furthermore, since a notification signal notifying the visit of the visitor 9 is output to the display device 12 installed in the visited room 11, the visitor 9 visit message is displayed on the display device 12 that has received the notification signal. By doing so, it is possible to inform the visited person that the visitor 9 has come, and to prevent the visitor 9 from going wrong with the visited person.

なお、上記の例では、目的階検索装置１０は、ビル１内の最下階に設置されるようにしたが、目的階検索装置が設置される階はこれに限定されない。また、目的階検索装置を複数の階に設置してもよい。
また、上記の例では、目的階検索装置１０が設置された階で、乗場呼び登録が自動的に行われるようにしたが、専用運転かご用の乗場呼び釦を別途設けて、人為的に専用運転かごの乗場呼び登録を行ってもよい。
さらに、上記の例では、専用運転かごのかご呼び登録を自動的に行うようにしたが、かご呼び登録は人為的に行われてもよい。
さらにまた、上記の例では、専用運転かごの目的階以外へのかご呼び登録を無効化するようにしたが、目的階以外へのかご呼び登録を行えるようにしてもよい。
また、上記の例では、訪問者９が専用運転かごに乗車したかどうかを光電装置等のかご搭乗認識手段により判断したが、訪問者が専用運転かごに乗車したかどうかを判断する手段はこれに限定されない。
さらに、運行制御装置からの通知信号が入力される装置は、表示装置以外にも、音声装置でも、他の装置でもよい。 In the above example, the destination floor search device 10 is installed on the lowest floor in the building 1, but the floor on which the destination floor search device is installed is not limited to this. Further, the destination floor search device may be installed on a plurality of floors.
In the above example, the hall call registration is automatically performed on the floor where the destination floor search device 10 is installed. However, a hall call button for a dedicated driving car is provided separately, and is artificially dedicated. You may also register for a landing call for your car.
Furthermore, in the above example, the car call registration for the dedicated operation car is automatically performed, but the car call registration may be performed artificially.
Furthermore, in the above example, the car call registration other than the destination floor of the dedicated operation car is invalidated, but the car call registration other than the destination floor may be performed.
Further, in the above example, whether or not the visitor 9 is in the dedicated driving car is determined by the car boarding recognition means such as a photoelectric device, but the means for determining whether or not the visitor is in the dedicated driving car is this. It is not limited to.
Furthermore, the device to which the notification signal from the operation control device is input may be an audio device or another device other than the display device.
