Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator system that recognizes a user and performs call registration processing.

Since the inside of the elevator car is a space closed from the outside, it is normally illuminated by a lighting fixture provided on the ceiling. Conventionally, this illumination has almost always had a constant illuminance. For such illumination with a constant illuminance, a proposal has been made to automatically adjust the illuminance for each time zone (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP-A-7-206276

  Thus, although it is already considered to adjust the illuminance, in this case as well, the illuminance is only changed to a predetermined illuminance at each set time, and is set regardless of the user's preference.

  Generally, in an elevator such as a high-rise apartment, there are relatively many opportunities for condominium residents to use the elevator alone. In such a case, the individual who is the user prefers the illumination illuminance, etc., which is the usage environment in the car. It is desired to be able to adjust to a state adapted to

  An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator system that can obtain a use environment in a passenger car that suits a user's preference by specifying an individual user.

  An elevator system according to the present invention is an elevator system in which an authentication device for identifying an individual user is provided in an elevator call registration device, and a usage environment in a car is registered in advance for each user. If the call registration from the registration means and the call registration device is a call from a user specified by the authentication device, the usage environment of the car on which the user is placed is registered in advance for the user And environmental control means for controlling the usage environment.

  In the present invention, the use environment registration means registers the illumination illuminance in the car for each user as the use environment in the car.

  Further, in the present invention, the usage environment registration means may register, for each user, music pieces to be output to the car as the usage environment in the car.

  According to the present invention, the usage environment in the car is set in advance for each user according to the preference of the user, so that the individual user is specified by the elevator call registration device provided with the authentication device. In addition, it is possible to make the inside of the car a use environment that matches the user's preference.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of an elevator system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes an elevator car (hereinafter simply referred to as a “car”), which is supported by a guide rail (not shown) so as to be lifted and lowered in a hoistway formed vertically in the building. On the front side of the car 11, a doorway that is opened and closed by a car door 12 is provided. On the ceiling, a lighting device 13 for illuminating the inside of the car 11 and music in the car 11 (hereinafter referred to as "car"). A speaker 14 is provided for flowing a signal (abbreviated as BGM).

  Reference numeral 16 denotes an elevator landing (hereinafter simply referred to as a landing) for each floor, and a wall surface facing the hoistway is provided with a doorway that is opened and closed by a landing door 17. A landing call registration device 18 is provided on the wall surface near the landing door 17. This landing call registration device is provided with a call button 18a in the upward direction and the downward direction, and an authentication device 18b for identifying the individual user. For example, a fingerprint authentication device may be used as the authentication device 18b.

  Reference numeral 20 denotes a control panel, and 21 denotes a driving device, which is provided in the upper part of the hoistway of the car 11. The control panel 20 is connected to the landing call registration device 18 and a car call registration device (not shown), registers calls from these, determines the destination (target floor) of the car 11, and controls the drive device 21. The car 11 is moved up or down to move the car 11 to the destination floor under control.

  The driving device 21 has a hoisting machine (not shown), drives a main rope 23 connecting a car 11 and a counterweight (not shown) like a fishing bottle, and drives the car 11 up and down.

  Based on the personal identification information from the authentication device 18 b provided in the hall call registration device 18, the control panel 20 is used for the interior of the car such as the illuminance of the lighting device 13 provided in the car 11 and the BGM flowing from the speaker 14. It has a function to control the usage environment. That is, in order to realize the function of controlling the use environment, the control panel 20 uses the use environment registration means in which the use environment in the car 11 is registered in advance for each user, and the landing call registration device 18. It has an environment control means for controlling the usage environment in the car 11 corresponding to the user specified by the authentication device 18a to the usage environment registered in advance.

  The use environment registration means registers, as the use environment in the car 11, lighting by the lighting device 13 in the car 11 and BGM music output from the speaker 14 into the car 11 for each user. Yes.

  In the above configuration, for example, it is assumed that the elevator car 11 of a high-rise apartment is currently stopped at a predetermined standby floor. At this time, it is assumed that a resident of the condominium makes a call operation using the authentication device 18b provided in the hall call registration device 18 on the entrance floor. In the control panel 20, the car 11 stopped on the standby floor is moved to the landing 16 on the floor where the call was made (in this case, the entrance floor) based on the call operation. Then, the control panel 20 identifies the resident (individual) based on the information from the authentication device 18b, and operates a residence floor set in advance for the individual or a car call button in the car 11. The driving device 21 is controlled to move the car 11 toward the designated destination floor.

  At this time, in the control panel 20, as described above, since the individual user is specified by the information from the authentication device 18b, the environment control means searches the usage environment registration means, and identifies the specified user. A usage environment registered in advance is selected, and the usage environment in the car 11 is controlled to the selected environment.

  Here, in the usage environment registration means, as described above, each individual user presets his / her favorite usage environment, that is, the illuminance of the luminaire 13 and the BGM music output from the speaker 14. Therefore, the use environment in the car 11 can be set to the user's own preferred environment. Therefore, when the car arrives at the entrance floor and the user gets into the car 11, the user's own illuminance and BGM are in the car 11, and until the user arrives at the destination floor, Since this state is maintained, it can spend comfortably.

  In the above embodiment, the illuminance and BGM are exemplified as the usage environment in the car 11. However, any one of these may be used, or an environmental element other than the illuminance or BGM may be used. .

  Further, the authentication device 18b is exemplified by a device that performs fingerprint authentication, but any device can be used as long as an individual can be specified, and any authentication device such as a card on which personal information is recorded may be used.

  Furthermore, although the hall call registration device 18 provided on the registration floor of the apartment has been described, of course, the hall registration device on any other floor functions in the same manner.

1 is a configuration diagram showing an embodiment of an elevator system according to the present invention.
