Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator security registration apparatus, and more particularly, to an elevator security registration apparatus that cancels a non-stop floor using a registration card in which ID data carried by an elevator user is registered.

  For example, as described in Patent Document 1 below, an identification device such as a card reader is provided in an elevator car, and a registration card such as an IC card carried by an elevator user is read by the identification device, and the reading result There is known an elevator security system in which an elevator stop is canceled for a specific destination floor according to the situation, and an elevator user is allowed to go to the destination floor.

In such an elevator security system, setting registration and change registration of non-stop cancellation floors associated with each registration card are performed using a dedicated registration device.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-60084

  Therefore, a dedicated registration device is required to perform setting registration and change registration of the non-stop release floor associated with each registration card, which is expensive.

  In addition, not only numbers are used to display each destination floor of a building, but symbols such as “G” indicating a reference floor, “R” indicating a rooftop, and “M” indicating an intermediate floor are used. There may be. For this reason, when setting registration or change registration of the non-stop cancellation floor is performed using the registration device, a symbol indicating each destination floor of the building is associated with a button indicating each destination floor provided in the registration device. It is necessary to set a conversion table for each building, which is one of the causes of cost.

  In addition, when setting registration or change registration of the non-stop cancellation floor is performed without using the conversion table described above, the registration content is mistaken, and the destination floor that should originally be the non-stop cancellation floor is the non-stop floor, A destination floor that should be a non-stop floor may be a non-stop release floor.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and its purpose is to perform non-stop cancellation floor setting registration or change registration corresponding to a registration card such as an IC card carried by an elevator user. Another object of the present invention is to provide an elevator security registration device that can be easily registered by an easy-to-understand operation with an inexpensive configuration without using a dedicated registration device.

  A first feature according to an embodiment of the present invention is that the elevator security registration apparatus includes a card reader that reads the ID data of a registration card in which ID data is registered, and a destination floor button that performs an input operation on the destination floor. The mode of the input operation from the operation panel in the car is switched from the normal mode to the registration mode, the mode is switched to the registration mode, and the ID data of the registration card is read by the card reader, Non-stop cancellation floor registration means for registering the input destination floor as the non-stop cancellation floor associated with the read ID data when the destination floor is input by the destination floor button. is there.

  According to the present invention, when registering the non-stop release floor associated with the ID data registered for each registration card, it is possible to use an inexpensive configuration without using a dedicated registration device, and an operation that is visually easy to understand. You can register easily.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The system configuration of the elevator security registration apparatus is shown in FIG. A car 1 is installed in the elevator hoistway so that it can be raised and lowered. An elevator control panel 2 is installed on the wall surface of the hoistway. A card reader controller 3, an elevator I / F input unit 4, and an elevator I / F output unit 5 are installed on the ceiling portion of the car 1.

  An operation panel 6 is provided in the car 1. On the operation panel 6, a card reader 8 that reads ID data registered in an IC card 7, which is a registration card carried by the elevator user, and an elevator user who has entered the car 1 input and operate the destination floor. A plurality of destination floor buttons 9, a door opening button 10 for opening the door of the car 1, a door closing button 11 for closing the door of the car 1, and a switch box 12 are provided. The switch box 12 is provided with a registration switch 13 that can be switched on / off. When the registration switch 13 is switched off, the mode of the input operation from the operation panel 6 becomes the normal mode, and the registration switch 13 is switched on. As a result, the mode of the input operation from the operation panel 6 becomes the registration mode. The switch box 12 has a structure that can be opened and closed by a dedicated key.

  The elevator control panel 2 is connected to the operation panel 6 and the card reader controller 3. The elevator control panel 2 and the card reader controller 3 are connected via an elevator I / F input unit 4 and an elevator I / F output unit 5. The elevator control panel 2 includes a ROM that stores various programs and fixed data, a RAM that temporarily stores data input from the outside, data that is called from the card reader controller 3, and the like, data stored in the RAM, And a CPU for performing various calculations using programs stored in the ROM.

  The card reader controller 3 is connected to the elevator control panel 2 and the card reader 8. The card reader controller 3 is provided with a registration unit 14 and a processing unit 15. As shown in FIG. 3, the registration unit 14 is provided with a registration table 16 for registering ID data registered for each IC card 7 and non-stop cancellation floor data associated with each ID data. ing.

  In this elevator, the ID data registered in the IC card 7 carried by the elevator user is read by the card reader 8, and the destination registered in the registration unit 14 as non-stop cancellation floor data in association with the read ID data. The car 1 can be operated only on the floor (the non-stop cancellation floor), and the car 1 cannot be operated to a destination floor (non-stop floor) other than the destination floor registered in association with the read ID data. The system is adopted.

  The normal mode is a mode for normal use in which the car 1 is operated so as to be carried to the destination floor intended for the elevator user, and the registration switch 13 is turned off.

  The registration mode is a mode in which each elevator user registers a destination floor (non-stop cancellation floor) that can operate the car 1 in association with the ID data of the IC card 7, and the registration switch 13 is turned on. This switches to the registration mode. Registration of the non-stop release floor is performed by an administrator who manages the elevator. The registration of the non-stop cancellation floor includes a new registration and a change registration.

  Each destination floor button 9 includes a button light (not shown). The button lamp is lit when the destination floor button 9 is input, and notifies the destination floor button 9 input to the elevator user or administrator.

  The card reader 8 is provided with an OK lamp 8a and an NG lamp 8b using LEDs. These OK lamp 8a and NG lamp 8b are turned on as necessary. For example, when it is confirmed that the ID data read by the card reader 8 is registered in the registration table 16 of the registration unit 14, it is OK. If the lamp 8a is turned on and the lamp cannot be confirmed, the NG lamp 8b is turned on.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the card reader controller 3 includes a card authentication determination unit 17, a non-stop cancellation floor signal generation unit 18, a non-stop cancellation floor update unit 19, an LED control unit 20, a registration unit 14, A contact output unit 21 and a contact input unit 22 are provided.

  The registration signal is a signal output from the elevator control panel 2 in response to ON / OFF of the registration switch 13, and is sent from the elevator I / F output unit 5 to the non-stop cancellation floor update unit 19 via the contact input unit 22. Sent. The non-stop cancellation floor update unit 19 enters the registration mode when the registration signal is on, and enters the normal mode when the registration signal is off.

  In addition, the non-stop cancellation floor update unit 19 transmits an LED control signal to the LED control unit 20. The LED control unit 20 transmits an LED control signal to the card reader 8 and blinks the OK lamp 8a and the NG lamp 8b alternately in the registration mode. When the mode is switched to the normal mode, the OK lamp 8a and the NG lamp 8b are turned off. The LED control signal is a level signal such as a contact signal or a control signal by serial communication.

  When the ID data is acquired by reading with the card reader 8, the card authentication judgment unit 17 calls the ID data stored in the registration table 16 of the registration unit 14 and sequentially compares it with the read ID data.

  If it is determined that the same ID data as the read ID data is registered in the registration table 16 of the registration unit 14, the ID data is transmitted to the non-stop cancellation floor signal generation unit 18. The non-stop cancellation floor signal generation unit 18 to which the ID data is transmitted acquires non-stop cancellation floor data corresponding to the ID data transmitted from the registration unit 14.

  The non-stop cancellation floor signal generation unit 18 converts the acquired non-stop cancellation floor data into a non-stop cancellation floor signal, and transmits it to the contact output unit 21. The contact output unit 21 is connected to the elevator I / F input unit 4 and turns on a plurality of contacts corresponding to the non-stop release floor signal for a predetermined time. As a result, the elevator lights the button light of the destination floor button 9 corresponding to the non-stop release floor in the registration mode, and releases the non-stop for the non-stop release floor in the normal mode.

  Further, the non-stop cancellation floor signal generation unit 18 transmits the read ID data to the non-stop cancellation floor update unit 19. When the ID data is transmitted, the non-stop cancellation floor update unit 19 outputs an LED control signal via the LED control unit 20 and lights the OK lamp 8a for a certain period of time, so that the ID data is read normally. This is notified to the administrator.

  If the card authentication determination unit 17 determines that the ID data is not registered in the registration unit 14, the ID data is transmitted to the non-stop cancellation floor update unit 19. In the registration mode, the non-stop cancellation floor update unit 19 determines that the newly registered IC card 7 has been read and confirms that the ID data has been read normally by turning on the OK lamp 8a for a certain period of time. Notify the administrator. Further, in the normal mode, it is determined that reading has been performed for the IC card 7 for which the non-stop release floor is not registered, and the ID data is discarded and the NG lamp 8b is turned on for a certain period of time, thereby allowing the elevator user to Notify that the non-stop release floor is unregistered.

  In such a configuration, the operation mode when the mode of the input operation from the operation panel 6 is switched to the normal mode and the car 1 is operated so as to be carried to a destination floor intended for general elevator users is illustrated in FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. These series of operations are performed under the control of the elevator control panel 2.

  When the mode is switched to the normal mode, the card reader 8 is waiting for reading the ID data, and it is determined whether or not the ID data has been read (S1). Reading of the ID data when the mode is switched to the normal mode is performed by an elevator user who has entered the car 1 holding the IC card 7 carried in front of the card reader 8. The ID data is read only when the IC card 7 is genuine, and is not read when the IC card 7 is fake.

  When the ID data is read (YES in S1), the read ID data is transmitted to the card reader controller 3 (S2), and it is determined whether or not the same ID data is registered in the registration unit 14 ( S3). If it is determined that it is not registered (NO in S3), an LED control signal is transmitted to the card reader 8, the NG lamp 8b is lit for a certain time (S4), and the process returns to step S1. The lighting of the NG lamp 8b notifies the elevator user that the reading of the ID data has failed. In this case, even if the input operation of the destination floor button 9 is performed, the input operation becomes invalid.

  If it is determined that the same ID data is registered in the registration unit 14 (YES in S3), an LED control signal is transmitted to the card reader 8 and the OK lamp 8a is turned on for a certain period of time (S5). Is informed that the ID data has been successfully read.

  After the OK lamp 8a is turned on, the card reader controller 3 generates a non-stop release floor signal based on the non-stop release floor data registered in the registration unit 14 in association with the same ID data as the read ID data. The non-stop cancellation floor signal is output to the elevator control panel 2 via the elevator I / F input unit 4 (S6).

  After the non-stop release floor signal is output to the elevator control panel 2, whether the time since the non-stop release floor signal is output is before the predetermined time has elapsed (S7), and the destination floor button 9 is input It is determined whether or not it has been operated (S8) and whether or not the destination floor for which the destination floor button 9 has been input is included in the destination floor for which non-stop has been canceled (S9).

  The time after the non-stop release floor signal is output is before the predetermined time has elapsed (YES in S7), the destination floor button 9 is input (YES in S8), and the destination floor that has been input is not stopped. If the destination floor has been canceled (YES in S9), the input operation of the destination floor button 9 is validated (S10), and the destination floor button that has been input and operated by outputting a button light control signal for turning on the button light. The button light 9 is turned on (S11). The elevator floor is informed of the destination floor where the car 1 is operated by turning on the button light. After the button lamp of the destination floor button 9 is lit, the car 1 is operated toward the destination floor where the button lamp is lit (S12).

  If the predetermined time has elapsed in step S7 (NO in S7), the outputted non-stop cancellation floor signal is canceled (S13), and the process returns to step S1. The case where the non-stop release floor signal is canceled after a predetermined time has elapsed is when the destination floor button 9 is not input (NO in S8), and the destination floor button 9 is input but operated. There is a case where the destination floor is not included in the destination floor whose non-stop is canceled (NO in S9).

  Therefore, the elevator user is based on the ID data registered in the IC card 7 carried by himself / herself, and the destination floor specified by the non-stop cancellation floor data registered in the registration unit 14 in association with the ID data. Only the car 1 can be operated.

  Next, the operation when the mode of the input operation from the operation panel 6 is switched to the registration mode and the non-stop release floor associated with the ID data registered in each IC card 7 is registered is shown in FIG. A description will be given with reference to FIG. A series of these operations are performed under the control of the elevator control panel 2.

  This elevator can switch the mode of input operation from the operation panel 6 between a registration mode and a normal mode, and this mode switching is performed by turning on / off the registration switch 13.

  The elevator control panel 2 determines whether or not a registration switch signal is input in association with the registration switch 13 being turned on (S21), and when the registration switch signal is input to the elevator control panel 2 (YES in S21), the elevator control panel 2 is switched to the registration mode (S22). The registration switch signal is input to the elevator control panel 2 when the administrator opens the switch box 12 and turns on the registration switch 13.

  The registration switch signal input to the elevator control panel 2 is transmitted to the card reader controller 3 via the elevator I / F output unit 5, and the card reader controller 3 is switched to the registration mode by transmitting this registration switch signal (S23). ). By the processing of these steps S22 and S23, a mode switching means for switching the mode of the input operation from the operation panel 6 from the normal mode to the registration mode is executed. When the elevator control panel 2 is switched to the registration mode, the destination floor button 9 is separated from the processing unit for registering the destination floor, and is assigned as a button for registering the destination floor to be released from non-stop.

  When the card reader controller 3 is switched to the registration mode, an LED control signal is output from the card reader controller 3 to the card reader 8, and the OK lamp 8a and the NG lamp 8b are alternately blinked (S24). The user is notified that the mode has been switched to the registration mode.

  When the mode is switched to the registration mode, the card reader 8 is on standby for reading the ID data, and it is determined whether or not the ID data has been read (S25). When the ID mode is switched to the registration mode, the administrator who registers the non-stop release floor holds the prepared IC card 7 in front of the card reader 8.

  In addition, when the mode is switched to the registration mode, the door opening button 10 is assigned as a determination button for determining the destination floor input as the non-stop cancellation floor, and the cancel button for canceling the destination floor input as the non-stop cancellation floor The door closing button 11 is assigned.

  When the ID data is read (YES in S25), the read ID data is transmitted to the card reader controller 3 (S26). When the ID data is transmitted to the card reader controller 3, an LED control signal is output from the card reader controller 3 to the card reader 8, the blinking speed of the OK lamp 8a is increased for a certain time (S27), and the card ID is read. Is notified to the administrator.

  When the read ID data is transmitted to the card reader controller 3, it is determined whether or not the same ID data as the transmitted ID data is registered in the registration table 16 of the registration unit 14 (S28). If it is determined that it is registered (YES in S28), a non-stop cancellation floor signal is generated based on the non-stop cancellation floor data registered in the registration table 16 in association with the ID data, and generated. The non-stop cancellation floor signal is transmitted to the elevator control panel 2 via the elevator I / F input unit 4 (S29).

  When the non-stop cancellation floor signal is transmitted to the elevator control panel 2, a button light control signal corresponding to the transmitted non-stop cancellation floor signal is generated, and this button light control signal is transmitted to the operation panel 6. The button light of the destination floor button 9 corresponding to the registered non-stop release floor is turned on (S30). Here, in the registration mode, when there is a registered non-stop release floor associated with the read ID data, the button lamp of the destination floor button 9 corresponding to the registered non-stop release floor is turned on. Means are executed. By illuminating the button lamp, it is possible to notify the administrator of the floor number of the registered non-stop cancellation floor for the IC card 7 that has been read.

  If the IC card 7 that has been read is a new card, the same ID data is not registered in the registration unit 28 (NO in S28), so the button lamp of the destination floor button 9 described in step S30 is lit. Is not done.

  After the ID data is read (YES in S25) and the processes in steps S26 to S30 are performed, the door closing signal (cancellation signal) from the door closing button 11 assigned as the cancel button is the elevator control panel 2. Whether or not a registration destination floor signal accompanying the input operation of the destination floor button 9 by the administrator is input to the elevator control panel 2 (S32).

  When the door closing signal is input (YES in S31), the processing of S26 to S30 already performed is canceled (S33), the LED control signal is output, and the NG lamp 8b is lit for a certain time (S34). The process returns to step S25. The lighting of the NG lamp 8b in step S34 notifies the manager that the read ID data has been canceled. When a registration destination floor signal is input (YES in S32), a button lamp control signal corresponding to the input registration destination floor signal is generated (S35). The button lamp of the destination floor button 9 that has been input by being transmitted to is turned on (S36). If there is a registered non-stop release floor, the lighting of the button light of the destination floor button 9 corresponding to the registered non-stop release floor is maintained, and the destination floor that has been input is operated. The button light of button 9 is turned on.

  After the processes of steps S35 and S36 are performed, whether or not the door closing signal (cancellation signal) from the door closing button 11 assigned as the cancel button is input to the elevator control panel 2 (S37), and the determination button It is determined whether or not a door open signal (decision signal) from the assigned door open button 10 is input to the elevator control panel 2 (S38).

  When the door closing signal is input (YES in S37), the processes in steps S35 and S36 are canceled (S39), and the process returns to step S31. When the door open signal is input (YES in S38), the non-stop cancellation floor data for the non-stop cancellation floor where the lamp is lit is registered in the registration unit 14 in association with the ID data (S40). The OK lamp 8a is turned on (S41). The lighting of the OK lamp 8a in step S41 informs the administrator that the registration of the non-stop cancellation floor has been performed normally. Here, the non-stop cancellation floor registration means for performing registration of the non-stop release floor using the operation panel 6 in the car 1 is executed by a series of processes of steps S26 to S40.

  The door opening signal shown in step S38 in the flowchart of FIG. 5 is transmitted from the elevator I / F output unit 5 to the non-stop release floor update unit 19 via the contact input unit 22, and the non-stop release floor update unit 19 receives the contact input. Non-stop cancellation floor data is generated from the registration destination floor signal transmitted from the unit 22.

  If the read IC card 7 is a new card, an update command for registering the ID data and the non-stop release floor data in the registration unit 14 is output from the non-stop release floor update unit 19 to the registration unit 14. The

  When the read IC card 7 is a registered card, an update command for updating the non-stop release floor data for the ID data is output from the non-stop release floor update unit 19 to the registration unit 14.

  When the new registration or update is completed, the registration unit 14 transmits update information to the non-stop cancellation floor update unit 19. When the non-stop cancellation floor update unit 19 receives this update information, it outputs a control signal to the card reader 8 via the LED control unit 20, and lights the OK lamp 8a for a certain period of time (S41 in FIG. 5). It is possible to notify the person that registration of the non-stop cancellation floor has been performed normally.

  The door closing signal shown in step S31 in the flowchart of FIG. 5 is transmitted from the elevator I / F output unit 5 to the non-stop cancellation floor update unit 19 via the contact input unit 22, and the non-stop cancellation is transmitted by the transmission of this door closing signal. The floor update unit 19 operates so as to cancel the read ID data and not update the data in the registration unit 14.

  In this case, the non-stop cancellation floor update unit 19 outputs a control signal to the card reader 8 via the LED control unit 20, and turns on the NG lamp 8b for a certain period of time (S34 in FIG. 5). It is possible to notify that the read ID data is canceled.

  A plurality of operation panels 6 may be installed in the car 1. In this case, when the non-stop release floor is registered using one operation panel 6, the car 1 is operated toward the destination floor in the normal mode using the other operation panel 6.
