  In addition, the process shown with the following flowcharts is performed according to the procedure described in the program, when the elevator control apparatus 11 which is a computer reads a predetermined program. The same applies to the processing of the other embodiments.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the elevator control apparatus according to the first embodiment.

  For example, when the operation of the elevator is suspended due to control operation, parking, failure, or the like (Yes in step A11), the elevator control device 11 performs the following processing.

  That is, the elevator control device 11 first performs a getting-off guidance broadcast such as “Please get off when the door is opened” by the voice synthesizer 16 in the car (step A12).

  Subsequently, the elevator control device 11 stops the car 2 on the floor appropriately designated according to the situation at that time (step A13). Then, in order to get off the users in the car 2 on this designated floor, the car door 21 is opened through the door opening / closing device 18 (step A14). At that time, the elevator control device 11 lights the stop lamp 26 by the display device 15 in the car to clearly indicate the elevator resting state and lights the door open button 24 (steps A15 and A17). 17, the illuminator 27 is turned off (step A16).

  Here, in the first embodiment, in addition to the elevator pause processing (steps A11 to A17) as described above, the car door is further based on the open / closed state of the car door 21 detected by the door position detection device 19. At the timing when the doors 21 are fully opened (Yes in Step A18), the elevator control device 11 provides pause guidance through the in-car speech synthesizer 16 (Step A19).

  Specifically, at the timing when the car door 21 is fully opened, a stop guidance that prompts the user to get off, such as “Elevator operation will be stopped, so please get off” is output by voice. By performing such suspension guidance when all the doors are open, not only the users in the car 2 but also the users waiting for the elevator at the hall 3 can be informed that the elevator cannot be used. .

  Further, after the door is closed (step A20), when the door opening button 24 provided in the car 2 is depressed (Yes in step A22), the elevator control device 11 passes the door control device 13 through the car door 21. Is opened (step A23). At that time, pause guidance is again provided by the in-car speech synthesizer 16 (step A24). The reason why the stop guidance is performed at this time is to prevent the user of the hall 3 from getting on by mistake by opening the door. Then, after the door is closed, it waits for the hibernation state to be released (step A25 → A21).

  When the rest state is canceled (Yes in Step A21), the operation returns to the normal operation (Step A26).

  In this way, by providing guidance for suspension through the in-car speech synthesizer 16 provided in the car 2 in synchronization with the door opening operation after the elevator is paused, not only the users in the car 2 but also the hall The user waiting at 3 can be informed that the service cannot be used due to the suspension of the elevator. Thereby, it is possible to safely shift to a dormant state without confining a user in the car 2.

  Also, for example, in elevators with security windows installed outdoors, such as observation elevators and station building elevators, the lights in the car are sufficiently bright even if the lights in the car are turned off. is there. In this way, even if the elevator is always bright in the car, it is ensured that the elevator cannot be used for the users at the landing by performing the voice stop guidance with all the car doors 21 open. You can ban the boarding.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the elevator control apparatus according to the second embodiment. The basic processing flow is the same as that in FIG. 3 in the first embodiment.

  For example, when the operation of the elevator is suspended due to control operation, parking, malfunction, etc. (Yes in Step B11), the elevator control device 11 is firstly turned off by the speech synthesizer 16 in the car, for example, “Get off when the door opens. "Getting off getting-off broadcasting is performed (step B12).

  Subsequently, the elevator control device 11 stops the car 2 on the floor that is appropriately designated according to the situation at that time (step B13). Then, in order to get off the users in the car 2 on this designated floor, the car door 21 is opened through the door opening / closing device 18 (step B14). At that time, the elevator control device 11 lights the pause lamp 26 by the display device 15 in the car to clearly indicate the elevator pause state and lights the door open button 24 (steps B15 and B17). 17, the illuminator 27 is turned off (step B16).

  Here, based on the open / closed state of the car door 21 detected by the door position detection device 19, at the timing when all the car doors 21 are opened (Yes in Step B <b> 18), the in-car speech synthesizer 16, for example, “ “Since the elevator operation is suspended, please get off the vehicle.”

  In the second embodiment, during the period from when the car door 21 is opened to when the car door 21 is closed, the pause guidance is performed at regular intervals, for example, at intervals of 2 seconds (steps B20 and B21). As a result, it is possible to more reliably inform the user in the car 2 and the user waiting for the elevator at the hall 3 that it cannot be used due to the suspension of the elevator.

  Further, after the door is closed (Yes in Step B21), when the door opening button 24 provided in the car 2 is pressed (Yes in Step B23), the elevator control device 11 passes through the door control device 13. The car door 21 is opened (step B24), and at that time, pause guidance is provided (step B25). At that time, as in step B20, the stop guidance may be performed at a constant cycle while the door is open. Then, after the door is closed, it waits for the hibernation state to be released (step B26 → B22).

  When the rest state is released (Yes in Step B22), the operation returns to the normal operation (Step B27).

  In this way, it can be said that the elevator cannot be used for both users of the car and the hall by performing the voice stop guidance with a certain period until the car door 21 is fully opened until the door is closed. It is possible to notify more reliably, and it is possible to prohibit boarding the resting elevator.

  Subsequently, the elevator control device 11 stops the car 2 on the floor appropriately designated according to the situation at that time (step F13). Then, in order to get off the users in the car 2 on this designated floor, the car door 21 is opened through the door opening / closing device 18 (step F14). At that time, the elevator control device 11 lights the pause lamp 26 by the display device 15 in the car to clearly indicate the elevator pause state and lights the door open button 24 (steps F15 and F17). 17, the illuminator 27 is turned off (step F16).

  In addition, at the timing when the car doors 21 are fully opened (Yes in Step F18), the elevator control device 11 uses the in-car speech synthesizer 16, for example, “Be sure to get off the elevator operation”. Such pause guidance is performed by voice (step F19).

  Here, in the seventh embodiment, after the door is closed (step F20), the elevator control device 11 passes through the in-car speech synthesizer 16 for a certain period of time until the hibernation state is canceled (No in step F21). Door opening button operation guidance is performed for each cycle (steps F22 and F23). Specifically, for example, an operation guidance such as “If you press the door open button, the door opens” is output every 5 minutes.

  When the door open button 24 is pressed (Yes in Step F22), the elevator control device 11 opens the car door 21 through the door control device 13 (Step F25). At that time, pause guidance is again provided by the in-car speech synthesizer 16 (step F26). The reason why the stop guidance is performed at this time is to prevent the user of the hall 3 from getting on by mistake by opening the door. Then, after the door is closed, it waits for the hibernation state to be released (step F27 → F21).

  When the rest state is canceled (Yes in Step F21), the operation returns to the normal operation (Step F28).

  In this way, when the car 2 is closed due to the suspension of the elevator, operation guidance for the door opening button is performed at regular intervals. Therefore, even if a user remains in the car 2, the door opening button 24 can be pressed to go outside according to the operation guide.

  In the seventh embodiment, the door opening button operation guidance is performed at regular time intervals. However, for example, as the time elapses, the interval for performing the door opening button operation guidance may be extended. . When a certain amount of time has passed, it may be considered that there is no user in the car 2 and the operation guidance for the door open button may be stopped.

(Eighth embodiment)
Next, an eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the seventh embodiment, the door opening button operation guidance is performed regardless of whether there is a user in the car when the door is closed. In the eighth embodiment, the user in the car is detected when the door is closed. In this case, the operation guidance of the door opening button is performed.

  Note that the apparatus configuration is the same as that in FIG. 9 in the fifth embodiment, and therefore, processing differences will be described with reference to flowcharts. In the configuration of FIG. 9, a user detection device 42 and a load detection device 43 are provided in the car 2 to detect the presence or absence of a user from the load state of the car 2.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the elevator control apparatus according to the eighth embodiment. The basic processing flow is the same as that in FIG. 3 in the first embodiment.

  For example, when the operation of the elevator is suspended due to control operation, parking, malfunction, or the like (Yes in step G11), the elevator control device 11 is first turned off by the speech synthesizer 16 in the car, for example, “Get off when the door opens. "Getting off getting-off broadcasting is performed (step G12).

  Subsequently, the elevator control device 11 stops the car 2 on the floor appropriately designated according to the situation at that time (step G13). Then, in order to get off the users in the car 2 on this designated floor, the car door 21 is opened through the door opening / closing device 18 (step G14). At that time, the elevator control device 11 lights the stop lamp 26 by the display device 15 in the car to clearly indicate the elevator rest state and lights the door open button 24 (steps G15 and G17). 17, the illuminator 27 is turned off (step G16).

  In addition, at the timing when all the car doors 21 are opened (Yes in Step G18), the elevator control device 11 uses the in-car speech synthesizer 16, for example, “Be sure to get off the elevator operation” Such a pause guidance is performed by voice (step G19).

  Here, in the eighth embodiment, after the door is closed (step G20), the elevator control device 11 is the user detection device shown in FIG. 9 until the hibernation state is canceled (No in step G21). It is determined whether there is a user in the car 2 through 42 and the load detection device 43 (step G22). As a result, when it is confirmed that there is a user in the car 2 (Yes in Step G22), the elevator control device 11 performs door opening button operation guidance through the in-car speech synthesizer 16 (Step G23). Specifically, for example, an operation guidance such as “If the door open button is pressed, the door opens” is output as a voice.

  When the door opening button 24 is pressed (Yes in Step G24), the elevator control device 11 opens the car door 21 through the door control device 13 (Step G25). At that time, pause guidance is again provided by the in-car speech synthesizer 16 (step G26). The reason why the stop guidance is performed at this time is to prevent the user of the hall 3 from getting on by mistake by opening the door. Then, after the door is closed, it waits for the hibernation state to be released (step G27 → G21).

  When the rest state is released (Yes in step G21), the normal operation is resumed (step G28).

  Thus, when the car 2 is closed due to the suspension of the elevator, the operation of the door open button is confirmed after confirming the presence of the user, so that the user can be sure of the door open button. The operation can be prompted.

  In the eighth embodiment, the load detection device 43 is used to detect the presence of the user in the car 2. However, instead of the load detection device 43, for example, a human sensor or a voice sensor is used. It is also possible to detect a user using.
