Description

  The present invention relates to an operation control device for an elevator for a station building installed on each platform of the station building.

  In many railway station buildings, a ticket gate floor where an automatic ticket gate is installed and a platform floor (hereinafter referred to as a home floor) where trains (including trains) arrive and depart are often different floors. Therefore, stairs and escalators are installed as passenger communication paths between the home floor and the ticket gate floor. In addition, in recent years, in order to reduce the burden on passengers such as elderly people who have difficulty in transferring and moving more than passengers who are physically difficult when moving or moving using stairs or escalators An elevator is installed between the floor and the ticket gate floor.

  By the way, elevators that operate between the home floor and the ticket gate floor include an elevator with a return function to a designated floor (for example, the home floor) and an elevator that has no return function to the designated floor or invalidates the return function. is there.

  The elevator with the designated floor return function performs operation control as shown in FIG. That is, the elevator operation control device determines whether or not there is a call registration from a certain floor (S101), and operates the elevator in response to the call registration while there is a call registration (S102). In response to all the call registrations, after elapse of a certain time (for example, about 1 minute) from the time when there is no new call registration (S103), the elevator is moved to a predetermined designated floor (S104). The elevator stops at the designated floor and waits until there is a call registration again (S105, S106). If there is call registration again, the process proceeds to step S102 and the same operation control is performed.

  On the other hand, in an elevator that has no designated floor return function or disables the return function, operation control as shown in FIG. 12 is performed. This elevator operation control device determines whether or not there is a call registration from a certain floor (S111), and operates the elevator in response to the call registration while there is a call registration (S112). Responding to all call registrations, after a certain period of time has elapsed from when there are no new call registrations (S103), until the call registration is input again, it stops and waits for the last arrival floor (S114, S115).

  Therefore, if the elevators of the two operation modes as described above are both registered with a call, they respond immediately to the call registration and operate toward the ticket gate floor or the home floor where the call is registered, or It is common to wait on the home floor, which is the designated floor, when the train arrives. As a result, when the elevator is always on standby at the home floor, among passengers who get off the train that has arrived at the platform, passengers who change suddenly or move to the ticket gate try to use the elevator. For that reason, passengers who are physically difficult to transfer or move using stairs, etc. or passengers who have difficulty in transferring or moving lose the opportunity to use the elevator or wait for a while on the platform where the train arrived Will use the elevator.

In view of this, recently, there has been proposed a driving device for an elevator for a station building that preferentially uses the elevator for passengers such as children, elderly people, and persons using wheelchairs. This driving device is equipped with a discriminating means for discriminating children and the elderly and a wheelchair detection device in the vicinity of the automatic ticket gate. Detects children, elderly people, etc. And if a discrimination means or a wheelchair detection apparatus detects a child, an elderly person, etc., it is the structure which transmits the hall call to a ticket gate floor automatically with respect to an elevator control panel, and moves an elevator to a ticket gate floor (patent document 1). ).
JP 2003-292255 A (see FIG. 1)

  However, it is assumed that the above-described elevator building operating system is based on the assumption that children, elderly people, and those using wheelchairs pass through the automatic ticket gate, and that some detection device is installed in the vicinity of the automatic ticket gate. Become. Therefore, among passengers who do not pass through automatic ticket gates, for example, a large number of passengers who get off the train that arrives at the flat platform, even if children, elderly people, etc. try to use the elevator from the home floor, they will identify children, elderly people, etc. Even if it is difficult to identify children, elderly people, etc., there is a problem that a rushing passenger gets on the elevator first and cannot fulfill the purpose of installing the elevator.

Therefore, the elevator with the designated floor return function and the elevator without the designated floor return function or invalidating the return function will be considered again.
Normally, when a train arrives at the platform, a passenger who wants to quickly change or move to a ticket gate selects a movement route as shown in FIG. In the figure, 101 is a platform, 102 is a train arriving at the platform 101, 103 and 104 are walking paths for passengers, 105 is a staircase or escalator, and 106 is an elevator installed on the home floor.

  That is, after the train 102 arrives at the platform 101, when a passenger who gets off the train 102 rushes to change or move to the ticket gate, the moving route shown in FIG. 103 is selected. In other words, if an elevator 106 is already waiting on the home floor, a passenger who is about to change or move in a hurry will have to use the elevator 106 instead of the stairs or escalator 105 to change time or to the ticket gate. Travel time can be greatly reduced. As a result, passengers who change quickly or move to the ticket gates concentrate in front of the platform 101 elevator platform. At this time, when it is determined that some of the passengers cannot get on the elevator 106 because a large number of passengers are waiting before landing, as shown by the broken line in FIG. Will be used.

  Therefore, in the elevators in any of the above-described driving modes, the target person who uses the elevator 106 is a passenger who rushes and moves to the ticket gate. Therefore, as a result of the use of the elevator 106 by a rushing passenger, a passenger who is physically difficult to move using stairs or the like, or a passenger who has difficulty in changing or moving, loses the opportunity to use the elevator for a while. There is a problem that you have to wait and use the elevator.

  On the other hand, considering the transport amount (movement amount) per unit time, the transport amount (b) by the stairs and the escalator 105 is much larger than the transport amount (b) carried by the elevator 106 (see FIG. 12). This means that a passenger who has little physical trouble can use the stairs or escalator 105 to greatly reduce the number of passengers staying on the platform 101, and can quickly reduce the degree of congestion. .

  Further, when the elevator 106 is installed on the platform 101, the area of the platform 101 is reduced by the installation occupation area of the elevator, and the degree of congestion of the platform 101 is increased by the reduced amount. When the platform 101 is excessively crowded, passengers who are physically difficult to move using the stairs 105 or passengers who have difficulty in changing or moving are more likely to be crowded than the general passengers. Accordingly, the use of the elevator 106 is further inhibited.

  If possible, it is desirable that the operation form is such that passengers who have difficulty in moving and changing from passengers who are physically difficult or general passengers can use the elevator 106 preferentially.

  Also, considering that the transport volume of stairs and escalators 105 is large, if passengers can make use of stairs and escalators 105 in a natural flow, passengers on platform 101 can transfer and move smoothly. It is possible.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the use of an elevator by passengers who are physically difficult to transfer or move using stairs or the like, or passengers who need to change and move more easily than ordinary passengers. It is an object of the present invention to provide an operation control device for an elevator for a station building that eliminates the factor that hinders traffic and creates a situation where passengers who get off the train can naturally use stairs and the like to contribute to alleviating congestion.

(1) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is an elevator system for a station building in which an elevator for carrying passengers is installed between the platform floor and the ticket gate floor of the station building, and the train arriving at the platform When it is determined by the operation switching determination means that determines whether the time has reached a predetermined time before or after the arrival time, and the operation switching determination means has reached the time before the predetermined time or after the predetermined time, Save operation means for saving the elevator to a floor other than the platform floor, call registration determination means for determining call registration from the platform floor after waiting for arrival at a floor other than the platform floor, and the determination means for the platform When it is determined that there is a call registration from the floor, the home floor call is operated to return to the platform floor. An operation control device for a station building elevators provided with a driving means.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, when the train arrives at the platform or after a few seconds after the arrival, the elevator is put into a shelter operation, and as a result, when the elevator is used, the transfer time to the transfer or ticket gate Will reduce the use of elevators, including passenger learning. As a result, passengers who are physically difficult to move using stairs and the like and passengers who have difficulty in changing and moving can easily use the elevator, which can greatly contribute to the mitigation of mixing.

(2) Further, the operation control device for an elevator for a station building according to the present invention includes an operation switching determination unit that determines whether a time before or after a predetermined time has arrived from the arrival time of a train arriving at the platform. When it is determined by the operation switching determination means that the time before or after the predetermined time has been reached, the delay operation means for delaying the elevator operation time, and the normal operation is resumed after the delay operation by the delay operation means ends. It is the structure which provided the normal driving | operation return means.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, the operation speed and the like of the elevator are significantly slowed down, so passengers who change or move quickly use the stairs without using the elevator. The effect similar to the item 1) can be produced.

(3) Furthermore, the operation control device for an elevator for a station building according to the present invention includes an operation switching determination unit that determines whether a time before or after a predetermined time has arrived from the arrival time of a train arriving at the platform. When it is determined by the operation switching determination means that the time before the predetermined time or after the predetermined time has been reached, after the predetermined time has elapsed from the arrival time of the train or during the predetermined time period, for each arrival time of the train A predetermined interval starting operation means for starting the elevator from the platform floor after a lapse of a predetermined time from the arrival time, and a normal operation returning means for returning to normal operation after the operation by the constant interval operation means is provided. is there.

  In the present invention, the elevator is operated after a certain time interval has elapsed after the train arrives at the platform, so that passengers who change or move quickly do not use the elevator. Etc., and the same effect as the above item (1) is obtained.

(4) Furthermore, the invention according to the present invention is newly added to any one of the above-described configurations (1) to (3), such as passengers who are physically difficult to transfer or move using stairs. , Means for storing message data for encouraging priority use of passengers who need to change or move more than ordinary passengers, display means and sound output means provided in the vicinity of the elevator hall on the platform floor, and arrival at the platform If a means for reading out the message data before arrival or during arrival of the train and displaying or outputting the message data from the display means or voice output means is added, it is physically moved using a staircase or the like. It is possible to promote priority use of elevators for difficult passengers and passengers who have difficulty in changing and moving, and for general passengers It is possible to avoid in advance and the like.

  According to the present invention, passengers who are physically difficult to transfer or move using stairs or the like, transfer more than ordinary passengers, remove factors that hinder the use of elevators by passengers who have difficulty moving, Moreover, by creating a situation where passengers who get off the train can use stairs and the like naturally, it is possible to provide an operation control device for an elevator for a station building that is also useful for reducing congestion.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram illustrating an embodiment of an operation control device for an elevator for a station building according to the present invention applied to a train station building.

  In the figure, 1 is a ticket gate floor where an automatic ticket gate 2 is installed, and 3 is a ticket gate. Reference numeral 4 denotes a platform (home floor) installed on the lower floor of the ticket gate floor 1, for example. The platform 4 may be installed on the upper floor of the ticket gate floor 1 in some cases. A train 5 arrives and departs on the platform 4 based on predetermined operation schedule data. Between the ticket gate floor 1 and the home floor, there are installed stairs and escalators 6 used as transfer passages or moving passages for passengers who use the train 5.

  Further, a hoistway 7 is provided across the home floor and the ticket gate floor 1. For example, a hoisting machine 8 is installed on the upper side of the hoistway 7, and a main rope 9 is stretched over the hoisting machine 8. A car 10 is suspended from one end of the main rope 9, and a counterweight 11 is suspended from the other end of the main rope 9. For convenience of explanation, the car 10 shows a state when the car door 10a side is viewed from the inside of the car. That is, the display device 10 b and the car operation panel 10 c are provided on the right side plate of the car 10. The car operation panel 10c is provided with sound generation means such as a speaker in addition to at least a destination floor operation button. 12 and 13 are hall call buttons. These hall call buttons 12 and 13 are usually used so that passengers who are physically difficult to transfer or move using stairs etc. or passengers who are difficult to transfer and operate are easy to operate. It is installed at a position lower than the installation position.

  Moreover, although not shown in figure, the board | substrate side display means and the board | substrate side sound generation means are provided also at least near the platform door of the home floor.

  An operation control device 15 is generally called an elevator control panel. This operation control device 15 is constituted by a CPU, and stores the arrival time data of the train 5 in advance, and an operation control processing unit 16 that controls the operation of the elevator by rotating the hoisting machine 8 at a required rotational speed. It consists of a train time data storage unit 17.

  The operation control processing unit 16 is connected to an external control device 18 such as a train operation management device that performs time management of trains as necessary. The operation control processing unit 16 may be configured to receive time data related to the arrival of the train 5 sent from the external control device 18 and execute necessary operation control.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the operation control processing unit 16 is functionally provided with an operation switching determination means 21, a save operation means 22, a call registration determination means 23, and a home floor call back operation means 24. Yes.

  The operation switching determination means 21 compares train arrival time data stored in the train time data storage unit 17 with current time data obtained from a built-in clock (not shown), and trains arriving at the platform 4 of the corresponding station building. 5 has a function of determining that it is the operation switching timing of the elevator when a time that is a predetermined time before or after a predetermined time (for example, about several seconds) is reached. The operation switching determination unit 21 of the operation control processing unit 16 receives the arrival time data of the train 5 that arrives at the platform 4 from the external control device 18, and has reached a time before or after a predetermined time from this arrival time. It is also possible to determine whether.

  When the operation switching determination unit 21 determines that the elevator operation is to be switched, the evacuation driving means 22 outputs a evacuation operation command for evacuating to a floor other than the home floor, such as a ticket gate floor 1 or an intermediate floor, for example, other than the home floor. A evacuation operation for evacuating the elevator car 10 to the ticket gate floor 1 is performed. Thereby, when a passenger gets off from the train 5 and uses the elevator, the elevator waits on the ticket gate floor 1.

  The call registration determination means 23 has a function of ending the standby operation and returning to the normal operation when a call registration is made from the home floor after a predetermined time has elapsed after the elevator waits at the ticket gate floor 1.

  The home floor call back operation means 24 has a function of returning the elevator from the home floor to the home floor based on the call registration after returning to the normal operation and transporting passengers from the home floor to the ticket gate floor 1.

Next, the operation of the operation control apparatus for an elevator for a station building as described above will be described with reference to FIG.
The operation control processing unit 16 executes the operation switching determination unit 21 when the operation starts. The operation switching determination unit 21 of the operation control processing unit 16 normally operates the elevator (S1), but trains sent from the train arrival data stored in the train time data storage unit 17 or the external control device 18 at all times. Monitor arrival related data. That is, the operation switching determination means 21 compares the train arrival time data with the current time data of the built-in clock, or a predetermined time before the arrival time of the train 5 arriving at the platform 4 of the corresponding station building (for example, several seconds before) It is determined whether or not a time several seconds later than the arrival time has been reached (S2). Here, when it is determined that the time has reached a predetermined time before or after the train arrival time, it is determined that the operation of the elevator is switched (S3).

  The determination may be made not using the train arrival time data stored in the train time data storage unit 17 but using the train arrival related data sent from the external control device 18, that is, the arrival time data of the train 5.

  The operation control processing unit 16 executes the evacuation operation unit 22 when the operation switching determination unit 21 determines that the elevator operation switching time has been reached. This evacuation driving means 22 issues a evacuation operation command to evacuate to a floor other than the home floor, such as the ticket gate floor 1 or an intermediate floor, and performs a evacuation operation to the ticket gate floor 1 other than the home floor (S4). The car 10 is temporarily saved from the home floor to the ticket gate floor 1 (S5). Thereby, even if the passenger who got off from the train 5 arriving at the platform 4 tries to use the elevator 10 in a hurry, the elevator 10 is waiting on another floor or is on the other floor. The use of the elevator is hindered, and the effect of promoting the use of the stairs or the escalator 6 is brought about. In addition, if the evacuation operation is always performed while the arrival time of the train 5 is estimated, general passengers learn the operation characteristics of the corresponding elevator and naturally flow to the stairs or escalator 6.

  Then, the operation control processing unit 16 executes the call registration determination unit 23 after the car 10 arrives at a floor other than the home floor. The call registration determination means 23 clocks the time after the car 10 arrives at a floor other than the home floor, and determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (S6). Then, after a predetermined time elapses, it is determined whether or not there has been a call registration from the home floor (S7). Here, if it is determined that there is a call registration from the home floor, it is determined whether or not the save operation is terminated (S8). Even if it is determined that there is a call registration, for example, if the call registration is from a mid-floor, the escape operation is not terminated and the process proceeds to step S5 to enter a standby state. If there is a call registration from the home floor, it is determined that the evacuation operation has ended, and the normal operation is resumed (S9).

  The operation control processing unit 16 executes the home floor recall operation means 24 after returning to normal operation. The home floor call back operation means 24 performs an operation of returning the elevator car 10 to the home floor based on the call registration from the home floor (S10). Then, after the elevator car 10 arrives at the home floor, a passenger waiting on the home floor is put on and is driven to the transfer floor or the ticket gate floor 1.

  Therefore, according to the embodiment as described above, when the train 5 arrives at the platform 4 and the elevator car 10 is not waiting on the home floor, the passenger who intends to use the elevator will be I will wait until I come back to the floor. For this reason, passengers who are urgently changing or moving to the ticket gate 3 act to use the stairs or the escalator 6 without waiting for the arrival of the elevator because of the tendency to take moving means to shorten the time as much as possible. As a result, many passengers will naturally go to the stairs or escalator 6, and passengers who are physically difficult to transfer or move using the stairs or passengers who have difficulty in changing or moving elevators An easy-to-use situation can be created.

  Further, by repeating that the elevator car 10 is retracted from the home floor to another floor before the predetermined time when the train 5 arrives at the platform 4 or at the same time or several seconds after the arrival, for example, a commuter can change its driving mode. Learn and use the stairs or escalator 6 naturally. Therefore, it is possible for passengers who are physically difficult or passengers who have difficulty in changing and moving to use the elevator without waiting for much time.

  In addition, if you perform a evacuation operation only during certain times of the day (for example, a fixed time in the morning of a weekday like commuting), passengers who want to change or move quickly will be able to The belt knows that it is faster to use the stairs or escalator 6 and uses the stairs or escalator 6 for a certain period of time. Thereby, the transfer and movement of the passenger who got off from the train 5 become smooth, which greatly contributes to congestion reduction.

  In the above embodiment, if the elevator cannot be used immediately after the train 5 arrives at the platform 4, it is expected that some claim or the like will come out from a passenger who uses the elevator.

  Therefore, as a measure to relieve complaints coming from passengers, predetermined message data is stored in advance in the train time data storage unit 17 or an appropriate storage unit, and the train 5 arrives before it arrives at the platform 4. Or when the train 5 is stopped, based on the train arrival time data stored in the train time data storage unit 17 or the like, a message is displayed from the display means or the sound generation means installed near the elevator hall on the home floor, or If the sound is output, troubles and the like can be avoided. Here, the predetermined message is to promote priority use of elevators for passengers who are physically difficult to transfer or move using stairs or passengers who have difficulty in transferring or moving than ordinary passengers. Content.

  Alternatively, a method may be used in which a crowded time zone is determined in advance and a message is displayed or voiced from the bulletin board at the station building or the display unit or the voice generation unit in the vicinity of the elevator hall on the home floor during that time zone.

  FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the operation control processing unit 16 for explaining another embodiment of the operation control device for an elevator for a station building according to the present invention.

  The operation control processing unit 16 includes an operation switching determination unit 31, a call registration determination unit 32, a delay operation unit 33, and a normal operation return unit 34. As described above, there are elevators with a designated floor return function and elevators with no designated floor return function or invalidation of the return function as described above. Registration judgment means 32 is provided. The reason is that the elevator with the designated floor return function automatically waits at the designated floor if the home floor is designated as the designated floor.

  The operation switching determination means 31 has the same function as the operation switching determination means 21 shown in FIG. The call registration determination means 32 has a function of determining whether or not a call registration has been made from the home floor in an elevator having no designated floor return function or invalidating the return function.

  The delayed operation means 33 is a delayed operation that delays the operation time of one or more of the elevator operation speed, door opening / closing speed, and door opening / closing time on condition that the operation switching is determined and the call registration from the home floor. It has a function to output a command and delay the elevator. Here, the delayed operation time of the elevator is an operation time for delaying the elevator to such an extent that the use of the stairs or the escalator 6 for transfer or movement can reach earlier than the time of using the elevator.

  The normal operation return means 34 has a function of determining that the delayed operation is terminated when the elevator 10 carries passengers from the home floor and arrives at the ticket gate floor 1 and the door 10a of the car 10 is closed, for example, and returns to normal operation. have.

Next, operation | movement of the above operation control process parts 16 is demonstrated with reference to FIG.
The operation control processing unit 16 executes the operation switching determination unit 31 when the operation starts. While the operation switching determination means 31 normally operates an elevator (S11), it always monitors train arrival data stored in the train time data storage unit 17 or train arrival related data sent from the external control device 18. . In other words, the operation switching determination means 31 compares the train arrival time data with the current time data of the built-in clock, and has it reached a predetermined time before the arrival time of the train 5 (for example, several seconds before) or a time after the predetermined time? It is determined whether or not (S12). When it is determined that a predetermined time before or after the arrival time of the train 5 has been reached, it is determined that the elevator operation has been switched (S13).

  Thereafter, when it is determined that the operation is switched, the operation control processing unit 16 continues to execute the call registration determination unit 32. This call registration determination means 32 determines whether or not there is a call registration from the home floor because it is unclear which floor the elevator is on, which has no designated return function or disables the return function. S14). If there is no call registration from the home floor, it is determined whether there is a call registration from other than the home floor (S15). If there is a call registration from other than the home floor, normal operation is continued in response to the call registration. Prepare for call registration from the home floor as soon as possible.

  And the operation control process part 16 performs the delay operation means 33, when it judges that it is operation switching and there existed the call registration from a home floor. The delay operation means 33 outputs a delay operation command for delaying the operation time of one or more of the elevator operation speed, door opening / closing speed, and door opening / closing time (S16), and actually delaying the elevator. The operation is executed (S17). That is, the elevator car 10 goes to the home floor at a slow operation speed, and opens and closes the doors slowly. Then, the elevator car 10 travels at a slow operation speed after the passenger is put on it, drives to the ticket gate floor 1 and lowers the passenger. As a result, passengers who use the elevator car 10 will take longer than passengers who have moved using the stairs or escalator 6.

Subsequently, after the elevator car 1 arrives at the ticket gate floor 1 or the transfer floor, the operation control processing unit 16 detects that the door is opened or the passenger gets down and the door is closed, and the normal operation return means 34 is executed. . The normal operation return means 34 determines that the delayed operation has ended on the condition that the door is opened or closed (S18), returns to the normal operation (S19), moves to step S11, and repeats the normal operation.

  Therefore, according to this embodiment, a passenger who is urgently changing or moving to the ticket gate 3 tries to use the elevator car 10 from a tendency to take a moving means that shortens time even a little. However, since the elevator operation time is delayed only during a predetermined time before and after the arrival time of the train 5, using the elevator takes a longer time than when using the stairs or the escalator 6. As a result, a passenger who is urgently changing or moving to the ticket gate 3 learns the operation characteristics of the elevator and acts to use the stairs or the escalator 6 without using the elevator naturally. Therefore, passengers who are physically difficult when using the stairs and passengers who have difficulty in changing and moving can easily use the elevator car 10.

  Instead of every time the train 5 arrives at the platform 4, a delayed operation may be carried out only during a commuting time zone on a weekday morning, for example, where passengers are congested. Also, it is physically difficult to transfer or move a predetermined message using the stairs from the display means and sound generation means near the elevator hall on the home floor as described above only during times when passengers are crowded. It is good also as a structure which displays or audio | voice-outputs so that the passenger who needs a difficult passenger, transfer, and a movement needs priority.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing functional blocks of the operation control processing unit 16 for explaining another embodiment of the operation control device for an elevator for a station building according to the present invention.

  The operation control processing unit 16 includes an operation switching determination unit 41, a regular interval departure operation unit 42, and a normal operation return unit 43.

  The operation switching determination means 41 is the same as the operation switching determination means 21 and 31 described above, and is omitted. The fixed-interval departure driving means 42 delays the predetermined time interval from the arrival time of the train 5 at a predetermined time interval before the predetermined time or after the predetermined time from the arrival time of the train 5 or in a commuting time zone where traffic congestion occurs, and then lifts the elevator from the home floor. It has a function to perform a starting operation. Further, the normal operation return means 43 is omitted because it has the same function as the normal operation return means 34.

Next, operation | movement of the above operation control process parts 16 is demonstrated with reference to FIG.
The operation control processing unit 16 executes the operation switching determination unit 41 when the operation starts. The operation switching determination means 41 monitors the train arrival data stored in the train time data storage unit 17 or the train arrival related data sent from the external control device 18 while operating the elevator normally (S21). In other words, the operation switching determination means 41 compares the train arrival time data with the current time data of the built-in clock, or a predetermined time before the arrival time of the train 5 arriving at the platform 4 of the corresponding station building (for example, several seconds before) It is determined whether or not a time several seconds later than the arrival time has been reached (S22), and when it is determined that it has reached, it is determined that the elevator operation switching timing has been reached (S23).

  Thereafter, when it is determined that the operation is to be switched, the operation control processing unit 16 executes the predetermined interval departure operation means 42. The fixed interval departure operation means 42 outputs a fixed interval departure operation switching command (S24), and the arrival time of the train 5 during a time delayed by a predetermined time interval from the arrival time of the train 5 or during a predetermined time zone. The car 10 is driven to depart from the home floor at a time delayed by a predetermined time interval, and the passenger is carried to the ticket gate floor 1 (S25).

  Then, after the car 10 arrives at the ticket gate floor 1 or after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the operation control processing unit 16 detects, for example, whether the door has been opened or closed after arrival at the ticket gate floor 1 and switched. It is determined that the operation has ended (S26), the normal operation is resumed (S27), the process proceeds to step S21, and the normal operation is repeatedly executed.

  Therefore, according to this embodiment, after the train 5 arrives at the platform 4, the elevator departs from the home floor after a lapse of a certain time. Therefore, passengers who want to use the elevator are required to leave the elevator. I will wait. As a result, passengers who want to change or move in a hurry tend to act to take a means of transportation that can reduce the usage time as much as possible, so they do not wait for the elevator and use the stairs or escalator 6 To do. Therefore, passengers who are physically difficult to transfer or move using stairs or the like, or passengers who have difficulty in changing or moving, are in a state where it is easy to use the elevator car 10.

  Moreover, if a commuter learns to take the same mode of operation every time, ordinary passengers will naturally use the stairs or escalator 6, and physically changing and moving using the stairs etc. The difficult passengers and passengers who have difficulty in changing and moving can use the elevator without fail.

  In addition, when the said embodiment is taken, it is anticipated that the complaint etc. by not moving immediately from the passenger who uses an elevator will come out. Therefore, considering the complaints coming out from the passengers, as in the embodiment described above, a predetermined message can be transferred from the display means installed near the elevator hall on the home floor using the stairs etc. from the sound generation means. It is good also as a structure which displays or audio | voice-outputs so that the passenger who is physically difficult to move, the passenger who changes, and the passenger who needs a hard time can use it preferentially. Further, the departure time or the driving time interval may be displayed or generated by the display unit or the sound generation unit simultaneously or separately from the predetermined message.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
