Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator hall button inspection device that has a function of turning off a hall button light when the hall button is pressed while the hall button light is on, by satisfying a specific condition during elevator maintenance. It is.

  In the current multi-car elevator device, the contact confirmation of the elevator hall push button is confirmed by lighting the hall push button light in response to the push of the hall push button. At the time of this check, if the general user made a call to another car before the inspection, it was necessary to wait until the other car arrived and the hall pushbutton light was turned off. Therefore, the inventor adds a check mode function that turns on the hall pushbutton lamp during elevator maintenance, thereby checking the lighting of the hall pushbutton lamp in the same direction as the held driving direction even when the driving direction is held. An elevator apparatus and an elevator maintenance method that have been made possible have been proposed (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-8556

  The non-patent document 1 described in the unpublished prior application requires a pressing for 3 seconds or more for the hall call registration, and the hall call registration operation is different from the normal operation. Can be considered. Therefore, the hall call registration is required to be performed in a normal operation, that is, by simply pressing the hall push button, and can check the contact failure of the push button even when the hall push button light is lit.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and by satisfying a specific condition during elevator maintenance, the landing button light is pressed when the landing button is pressed while the landing button light is on. To provide an elevator hall button inspection device that can check contact failure of the landing button even when the landing button is lit on the floor where the landing button is inspected by a multi-car elevator or the like It is.

  In the elevator hall button inspection device according to the present invention, a hall call button, an elevator controller that registers the hall call when the hall call button is operated, and lights the hall call button lamp when the hall call is registered; A mode setting device that accesses the elevator control unit during maintenance and sets the inspection mode of the hall call button light, and satisfies a specific condition during elevator maintenance set in the inspection mode of the hall call button light by the mode setting device Thus, when the hall call button is operated while the hall call button lamp is lit, the hall call button lamp is turned off.

  According to the present invention, by satisfying specific conditions during elevator maintenance, a function is provided to turn off the landing button light when the landing button is pressed while the landing button light is lit. Even when the landing button is lit on the floor where the landing button is checked, it is possible to check the contact failure of the landing button.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing a schematic configuration of an elevator hall button inspection apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a hall up call push button of the elevator hall button inspection apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. It is a flowchart which shows the operation | movement flow when pushing.

In the figure, 1 is an elevator control panel, 2 is an elevator control unit, and 3 is a mode setting device for accessing the elevator control unit 2 and setting the hall push button light inspection mode. The mode setting device 3 may be provided in the elevator control panel 1 or may be provided in, for example, a portable maintenance control device (maintenance controller), and the portable maintenance control device may be installed in the elevator control unit 2 during maintenance. It may be of an external type that can be connected to and select a mode. 4 is a push button signal input section, 5 is a push button lighting signal output section, 6 is each floor landing push button provided at each floor landing, 7 is a landing rising call push button, and a landing for registering a landing rising call on the back side thereof A push button lamp (not shown) is provided. Reference numeral 8 denotes a landing down call push button having a landing push button light (not shown) for registering a landing down call on the back side thereof. Reference numeral 9 denotes an independent mode elevator (mode used for maintenance, which does not respond to a hall call), and reference numeral 10 denotes a normal mode elevator.
FIG. 1 shows the signal flow of the elevator apparatus. Call registration signals of the hall up call push buttons 7 and the hall down call push buttons 8 provided in the floor push buttons 6 are transmitted through the push button signal input unit 4. It is input to the elevator control unit 2 in the elevator control panel 1. The elevator control unit 2 transmits the lighting signal of the push button lamp to the landing up push button 7 and the landing down push button 8 through the push button lighting signal output unit 5 in accordance with the driving direction of the elevator.

Next, the operation flow when the elevator call push button on the elevator apparatus is operated will be described with reference to FIG.
In order to perform the hall push button inspection mode of the present invention, the following conditions are necessary. The first condition is that the mode setting device 3 needs to access the elevator control unit 2 to set the inspection mode for the landing pushbutton light. The mode setting device 3 may be provided in the elevator control panel 1. For example, the mode setting device 3 is built in a portable maintenance control device (maintenance controller), and the portable maintenance control device is connected to the elevator control unit 2 during maintenance. In the case of an external type that allows mode selection, the present invention can be easily implemented by simply connecting a portable maintenance control device incorporating a mode selection device to an existing elevator. The second condition is that the elevator 9 in the independent mode (the mode used for maintenance, which does not respond to the hall call) is stopped.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the operation when the landing call push button 7 is pressed when the above conditions are satisfied. When the elevator does not have an up call (the push button light of the hall up call push button 7 is not lit), when the hall up call push button 7 is pressed, the up call registration is performed, and the hall up call push button 7 push-button light is turned on (steps ST1->ST2-> ST3). Thereby, unlike the unpublished prior application of Non-Patent Document 1 previously proposed, it is possible to perform the hall upcall registration without a special operation by the user.

Next, in the state where the push button light of the landing up call push button 7 is already lit (for example, when a general user or the like presses the landing up call push button 7 before inspection), the landing up call push button When is pressed (step ST1), the push button lamp of the hall up call push button 7 is turned off (step ST4). At this time, uplink call registration is not performed. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step ST5, and when the pressing time of the hall up call push button 7 is stopped without exceeding, for example, 3 seconds, the call up registration is not canceled and the push button of the hall up call push button 7 is not released. The lamp is turned on again (step ST7).
In addition, when the pressing time of the hall up call push button 7 exceeds, for example, 3 seconds in the above step ST5, the call up registration is canceled, and the push button light of the hall up call push button 7 is not changed even if the depression is stopped. It does not light up again (step ST6).

In other words, the operations performed by the general user during maintenance and inspection are as follows.
The operation for the general user to perform the hall upcall registration can be performed in the same manner as usual, as in steps ST1 → ST2 → ST3.
When the maintenance staff checks the hall up call push button 7 and there is no hall up call before the check, the push button is pushed by pressing the hall up call push button 7 as in steps ST1 → ST2 → ST3. When the lamp is lit, the landing up call push button can be checked. When canceling the uplink call registration that has been made by the above operation, the uplink call registration is canceled in steps ST1->ST2->ST4->ST5-> ST6.
Further, when the maintenance staff checks the landing call push button 7 and there is a landing call before the check, the landing call push button 7 is pushed in steps ST1 → ST2 → ST4 → ST5 → ST7. Thus, the landing button push button can be checked by turning off the push button light.

  In the above description, the operation when the hall up call push button 7 is operated is described. However, the operation when the hall down call push button 8 is operated is almost the same operation, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

1 is a system configuration diagram showing a schematic configuration of an elevator hall button inspection apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. It is a flowchart which shows the operation | movement flow when the hall up call push button of the elevator hall button inspection apparatus of Embodiment 1 of this invention is pushed.
