Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator control device and a method for modifying the elevator control device.

Even if the user is unfamiliar with the operation of the elevator, it is possible to prevent the elevator from accidentally getting off the floor other than the destination floor due to misunderstanding of the user, and to improve the service to the elevator user There has been proposed an elevator control device capable of
In other words, in the middle of heading to the destination floor by the car call of the user in the car, when the stop call assignment is determined according to the hall call, the “not-arrival notification” However, in the case of a forced stop operation or a stop operation on each floor that always stops in a hotel lobby or the like, “not-arrival notification” is not performed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2006-256835 A

By the way, a control device for controlling “not-arrival notification” includes the following circuit.
FIG. 7 is a circuit diagram of a common circuit of No. 1 and No. 2 of a conventional elevator control device.
Relay N _T relay N ₁ is the first car and the second car common hall button circuit. Relay NK is a landing assignment detection circuit consisting of the A contact _{N T} from contact A _{N 1.}
Since the Unit 1 and Unit 2 common circuits include circuits that affect Units 1 and 2, the elevators of Units 1 and 2 are suspended when the Unit 1 and Unit 2 common circuits are modified. Must be done.

FIG. 8 is a circuit diagram of each single circuit of the conventional elevator control device.
The relay EFS is a relay that gives an instruction to stop each floor until it reaches the destination floor of the car call when each floor stop switch is turned on. The relay E is a forced stop relay that forcibly stops a specific floor such as a hotel lobby. Therefore, when refurbishing the circuit of Unit 1, only the elevator of Unit 1 needs to be stopped, and the elevator of Unit 2 may continue to operate.
The non-arrival notification circuit is provided in the auto-announcement device, and transmits a non-arrival notification signal to the speaker through the A contact NK of the relay NK.

  However, the cases where “not-arrival notification” should be made to the passengers in the car are the unintended stop by the passengers in the car due to the stoppage of each floor other than when the elevator stops due to the hall call assignment and the forced stop of the hotel lobby floor, etc. There are some, and the non-arrival notification method based on the presence / absence determination of the hall call allocation is insufficient notification for in-car users.

  Further, when various stop conditions such as stop operation at each floor, forced stop, etc. are set, and “not-arrival notification” is also made at the time of stop by these settings, for example, the A contact EFS circuit of the non-arrival notification circuit of FIG. Each condition must be connected in parallel with the circuit constituting the hall call assignment condition and the halfway hall call like the A contact E circuit.

  In addition, most elevators currently installed are provided with announcing functions such as “travel direction” and “landing floor”, but few elevators are equipped with a “not-arrival notification” function. On the other hand, there is a request to add an “not-arrival notification” function to elevators used by elderly people, but elements in common circuits such as hall call assignment detection must be modified. All elevators in the common bank must be stopped and there is no prospect of renovation.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator control device and an elevator control device that only have to stop the elevator of the unit corresponding to the repair in order to perform the repair by making a careful announcement at every stop not intended by the user in the car Is to provide a way to renovate.

  An elevator control device according to the present invention is an elevator control device that controls the operation of an elevator. A car call relay that is turned on by a car call registration by a car user in each car single circuit that controls each car of the elevator, and a car Stop floor relay that is turned on when the floor registered with the call is the same as the floor to be stopped, and when the car call relay is ON and the stop floor relay is OFF, an announcement is made, and the car call relay is ON and A notice announcement circuit that does not give notice when the stop floor relay is ON.

  The effect of the elevator control device according to the present invention is based on the car call registration and the stop floor, and detects the stop related to the car call registered by the in-car user and relates to the car call registered by the detected in-car user. Attention stop announcements are made during stoppages other than stoppages, so that attentive announcements can be made with stoppages other than stoppages relating to car calls registered by users in the car.

FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of a circuit related to “attention announcement” of each unit single circuit in the control panel.
The A contacts 30 ₁ to 30 _T are A contacts of a relay (not shown) that is turned on in response to the destination button of the car 3.
The 30C car call relay 12 is a relay that is turned on when the destination button is operated and at least one car call is registered.
A contacts 11 _{1 to} 11 _T are A contacts of relays (not shown) that are turned on when the car 3 stops on each floor.
The CX stop floor relay 13 is a relay that is turned on when both the A contacts 30 ₁ to 30 _T and the A contacts 11 _{1 to} 11 _T related to at least one floor are connected. For example, when the car 3 4 floor car call has been registered is stopped on the fourth floor, the fourth floor of the car call is registered, A contact 30 ₄ is passed, will stop on the fourth floor A contact 11 ₄ becomes passing, CX stop floor relay 13 is turned ON. Also, when the car 3 4 floor car call has been registered is stopped on the third floor, the fourth floor of the car call is registered, A contact 30 ₄ is passing, so to stop the third floor A contact 11 ₃ becomes passing, CX stop floor relay 13 remains OFF.

FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of the attention announcement circuit 18 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
The attentive announcement unit 17 accommodates attentive announcement contents, and transmits an attentive announcement signal to the speaker 5 when the power is turned on.
The A contact 15 is an A contact of the car call relay 12. The B contact 16 is a B contact of the CX stop floor relay 13. When both the A contact 15 and the B contact 16 are connected, the power of the attention announcement unit 17 is turned on.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the elevator control apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
In step S1, it is determined whether or not there is a car call. If there is no car call, step S1 is repeated, and if there is a car call, the process proceeds to step S2.
In step S2, the elevator is operated on the car call registration floor.
In step S3, it is determined whether or not a stop is detected on the intermediate floor. If no stop is detected on the intermediate floor, the process proceeds to step S6. If a stop is detected on the intermediate floor, the process proceeds to step S4.
In step S4, “attention announcement” is performed.
In step S5, the elevator is stopped on the middle floor.
In step S6, the elevator is operated on the car call registration floor.
In step S7, it is determined whether or not a stop is detected on the car call registration floor. If no stop is detected on the car call registration floor, the process returns to step S3. If a stop is detected on the car call registration floor, step S8 is detected. Proceed to
In step S8, it stops at the car call registration floor without performing “attention announcement”.

The operation will be described using a specific example. A user in the car gets on the first floor and registers a car call on the fifth floor. In this case, A contact 30 ₅ of each Unit alone circuit becomes through, relay 12 is referred to you or along with it is turned ON. Then, the A contact 15 of the notice announcement circuit 18 is turned on. On the other hand, when the car call registration at the first floor which is only A contact 11 ₁ through of A contact 11 _T from the A contact 11 _1. Therefore, the CX stop floor relay 13 is OFF and the B contact 16 of the attention announcement circuit 18 is turned on. It should be noted that since the power is not supplied to the attention announcement circuit 18 at this time, the power of the attention announcement unit 17 is OFF.

When the car 3 is to stop more third floor in the hall call, CX service floor relay 13 be A contact 11 ₃ becomes a passage is OFF, B contacts 16 attentive announcement circuit 18 is passing. At this time, since power is applied to both ends of the attention announcement circuit 18, the power of the attention announcement section 17 is turned on, and the attention announcement signal is transmitted from the attention announcement section 17 to the speaker 5.

When you try to stop on the fifth floor, which is the car 3 the car call registration, the A contact 11 ₅ becomes passing, and, since the contact A 30 ₅ is a passage, CX stop floor relay 13 is turned ON. When the CX stop floor relay 13 is turned ON, the B contact 16 is disconnected. At this time, even if power is applied to both ends of the attention announcement circuit 18, the B contact 16 is disconnected, so that the power of the attention announcement unit 17 is OFF.

  In this way, a stop related to a car call registered by a user in the car is detected, and a “attentive announcement” is issued when a stop other than a stop related to a car call registered by the in-car user is detected. A “careful announcement” can be made when the stop is not intended by the user, such as a stop at each floor stop operation or a stop such as a forced stop.

  In addition, even if various other stop conditions are set, only the stop related to the car call registered by the in-car user is detected, and all the stops other than the stop related to the car call registered by the in-car user are detected. Since “attention announcement” is made at the time of, “attention announcement” can be made regardless of the setting of the stop condition.

  In addition, when an existing elevator that is currently in use is additionally equipped with the function of “announcement announcement”, it is only necessary to refurbish each unit's single circuit and add an attention announcement circuit. It is only necessary to stop the elevator of the relevant unit, and the elevators of the other units in the common bank can be operated and the repair can be started at any time.
