Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator, and in particular, when a passenger enters or leaves an elevator car, when a suspicious person tries to enter, the suspicious person is prevented from getting in and driven out, thereby protecting the passenger safely. It is related with the means to do.

  To prevent suspicious people from getting in, passengers operate the setting means in advance on the landing side, set `` crime prevention driving '' so that suspicious people do not get in from other floors, and stop until the car arrives at the registered floor A method has been proposed in which the call is invalidated and the suspicious person does not respond to the landing call even after arriving at the destination floor, thereby preventing the suspicious person from chasing (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition, passengers operate the setting means in advance at the landing side, set `` crime prevention driving '' so that suspicious people do not get in from other floors, and if passengers get in, invalidate other than the setting floor call of this setting person, A method of closing the door at a high speed has also been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

JP 2004-352392 A (pages 5 to 7, FIG. 1) JP-A-59-069381 (pages 1 to 3, FIGS. 1 to 3)

  The passenger's crime prevention operation setting means described in Patent Document 1 or 2 is a means for setting on the landing side when the passenger notices a suspicious person hidden in a corner of the landing.

  Therefore, if the passenger gets into the car without noticing the suspicious person who is hiding, even if he notices a suspicious person approaching the car, he will bother to go out to the landing side and operate the setting means. Was virtually impossible to prevent the suspicious person from getting in. In addition, the provision of security operation setting means on the landing side of each floor elevator hall has a problem of increasing costs.

  In addition, even if the landing call is disabled until the car arrives at the destination floor, if the destination floor of the car is close to the floor where the car was boarded, it will be caught up with the suspicious person who has confirmed the destination floor in the car position information display There is a fear.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive means for protecting passengers safely by preventing the suspicious person from entering when the passenger enters or leaves the elevator car when the suspicious person tries to enter. It is providing the elevator provided with.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is configured to raise and lower a car by a lift control means according to a call of a landing call button, open and close a door by a door control means, and a destination of an operation panel in a car by a passenger who has boarded In an elevator equipped with an elevator control means for raising and lowering the car to the destination floor in response to the operation of the floor button, the elevator control means operates one of the operation buttons such as the door opening / closing button and the destination floor button on the operation panel in the car. Means to determine that an emergency has occurred when the passenger presses abnormally, means to instruct the door control means to close the door immediately when it is determined that an emergency has occurred, and all landing halls to determine that an emergency has occurred Proposal of an elevator equipped with means to turn off the car location guidance display and a means to report the occurrence of an emergency to the management center That.

  The means for determining the occurrence of an emergency is an emergency when any of the operation buttons is repeatedly pressed a predetermined number of times within a predetermined time, or when any of the operation buttons is continuously pressed for a predetermined time or more. It is determined that a situation has occurred.

  The elevator control means sends a command to the elevator control means to orthogonally operate the car from the floor where the emergency occurred to the farthest floor, and sends a command to the door control means to open the door and wait when it reaches the farthest floor. It is desirable to do so.

  When the elevator control means determines that an emergency has occurred, a command to close the door earlier and more quickly than usual can be transmitted to the door control means.

  Install alarms at least in the passenger car and on each floor elevator hall to notify of emergencies.

  According to one statistic, the average time for an attendant to rush from the management center when an emergency occurs is 3 minutes. If you surpass that 3 minutes, you can expect a third-party rescue.

  Therefore, in the present invention, when a passenger abnormally presses one of the operation buttons such as a door opening / closing button or a destination floor button, all operation buttons are regarded as emergency buttons regardless of individual functions, and an emergency situation occurs. Determined to occur. When it is determined that an emergency has occurred, immediately close the door, turn off the car location information display in all halls, and make sure that the suspicious person does not know where the car is currently, and report the occurrence of the emergency to the management center. To do. At the same time, an alarm to notify the occurrence of an emergency situation continues to flow through the car and each floor elevator hall with sound or light.

  In this way, it can be expected to prevent the suspicious person from entering the car, give up the use of the elevator, and incite it to drive it out of the building.

  In addition, the time required for the car to be orthogonally driven from the floor where the emergency occurred to the farthest floor, and when it reaches the farthest floor, the door is opened and waits until the landing call button is called by a suspicious person who does not give up. Extend as much as possible.

  As a result, the suspicious person is in a long waiting state and is more likely to give up the attack using the elevator.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the Example of the elevator provided with the means to safely protect a passenger from a suspicious person by this invention is described.

  FIG. 1 shows a means for preventing a suspicious person from getting in and expelling when a passenger enters the elevator car 10 or gets out of the car 10, and protects the passenger safely. 1 is a block diagram showing a system configuration of an embodiment of an elevator according to the present invention.

  The elevator according to this embodiment basically includes a car 10, an elevator control means 40, a door control means 50 for controlling opening and closing of the door 11, a door driving means 51 for actually opening and closing the door 11, and a car. The elevator control means 60 for controlling the ascending / descending 10 and the motor 61 for actually raising and lowering the car 10 are managed by the management center 70.

  In the car 10, an in-car operation panel 20 and at least an in-car security buzzer 12 as an alarm device are provided. The in-car operation panel 20 is drawn face up in FIG. 1 for easy viewing.

  The in-car operation panel 20 is conventionally provided with an intercom button 21, a door opening button 22, a door closing button 23, a number of destination floor buttons 24 corresponding to the floor, and the like.

  In the present invention, when a passenger abnormally presses one of the operation buttons 21 to 24 such as the door opening / closing buttons 22 and 23 and the destination floor button 24, all operation buttons are regarded as emergency buttons regardless of individual functions. It is determined that an emergency has occurred.

  Although not shown here, security cameras may be installed in the car 10 and in the elevator hall, and the management center 70 may use the images together to determine whether or not an emergency situation has occurred. Needless to say.

  The elevator hall includes at least a hall call button 30, a car position guidance display 31 indicating which floor the car 10 is currently on, and a hall crime prevention buzzer 32 as an alarm.

  FIG. 2 is a time chart showing some examples of patterns in which the passenger presses the operation button according to the degree of urgency.

  For example, the passenger at the normal time selects the destination floor by pressing the destination floor button 24 only once.

  On the other hand, when you are aware of a suspicious person, you can press the operation button many times in a short time as shown in Fig. 2 (A), or you can operate as shown in Fig. 2 (B). Acts peculiarly, such as holding down a button. Also, as shown in Fig. 2 (C), after pressing the operation button, the system switches to the method of pressing the operation button repeatedly, such as "Is this situation still not communicated to anyone?" Thus, as shown in FIG. 2D, there is a case where the operation button is repeatedly pressed many times and then the operation button is continuously pressed.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the elevator control means 40 regards all operation buttons as emergency buttons regardless of individual functions, and allows the passenger to select one of the operation buttons such as the door opening / closing buttons 22 and 23 and the destination floor button 24. When the button is pressed abnormally, that is, when there is a unique action such as pressing the operation button repeatedly or pressing the operation button repeatedly in a short time as shown in FIGS. Determine that an emergency has occurred.

  When the elevator control means 40 determines that an emergency situation has occurred, the door control means 50 and the door drive means 51 immediately close the door 11 and turn off the car position guidance displays 31 in all the halls. The management center 70 is notified of the occurrence of an emergency without the suspicious person knowing where he is. At the same time, an alarm notifying the occurrence of an emergency situation continues to flow through the car 10 and each floor elevator hall with sound or light.

  In this way, it is possible to prevent the suspicious person from getting into the car 10, to give up the use of the elevator, and to have the effect of driving out of the building.

  A command for orthogonally driving the car 10 from the floor where the emergency occurred to the farthest floor is transmitted to the lift control means 60, and a command to open and wait for the door 11 when reaching the farthest floor is transmitted to the door control means 50. However, the time until responding to the call of the landing call button 30 by a suspicious person who may still not give up is extended as much as possible.

  As a result, there is a high possibility that the suspicious person will wait for a long time and give up the attack using the elevator.

  When it is determined that an emergency has occurred, the elevator control means 40 may send a command to the door control means 50 to close the door 11 earlier and more quickly than usual.

  In the present invention, a. Regardless of individual functions, all operation buttons are regarded as emergency buttons. b. If it is determined that an emergency has occurred, the doors are immediately closed, and the car position guidance displays in all halls are turned off. c. Report the occurrence of an emergency to the management center. d. Continue to sound or light alarms to alert you to emergencies in the car and elevator halls on each floor. e. Compared to conventional elevators, the addition of special hardware is necessary to make the car orthogonally drive from the floor where the emergency occurred to the farthest floor and to open the door and wait when it reaches the farthest floor. Since it is not necessary, the program can be modified and a means to safely protect passengers can be realized at low cost.

Figure 1 shows a book with a means to prevent passengers from entering the elevator car when it enters or leaves the elevator car and when the suspicious person tries to intrude, and to protect the passenger safely. It is a block diagram which shows the system | strain structure of one Example of the elevator by invention. FIG. 2 is a time chart showing some examples of patterns in which the passenger presses the operation button according to the degree of urgency.
