Description of the Related Art Elevator apparatuses that can make hall calls at an elevator hall and car calls within a car based on tag reading results are known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In addition, when the elevator is used only for reciprocating movement between the boarding floor (for example, the floor where the entrance is installed) and the destination floor (for example, the residence floor), the hall that calls the elevator car to the elevator hall There is known an elevator apparatus that can automatically register a call and a car call that designates a destination floor of a car based on the reading result of an ID tag (for example, refer to Patent Document 2).
JP 2003-341945 A JP 2005-255320 A

  In the conventional elevator apparatus using the ID tag described above, elevator usage information (e.g., elevator usage permission information, usage floor information, automatic registration presence / absence information, etc.) is recorded in the ID tag.

  However, since there is a limit to the number of usage information that can be recorded in the ID tag, an ID tag that can be used for moving to multiple floors, and automatic registration of hall calls and car calls are performed in one elevator device. It was not possible to use ID tags with different usage modes, such as ID tags that can be used for reciprocal movement between the destination floor and the destination floor.

  In addition, if the ID tag is lost because the elevator usage information is recorded on the ID tag, the lost ID tag is copied, and the lost ID tag is used only after the copied ID tag is read. Stopping measures cannot be taken. Therefore, it takes time until the use of the ID tag is stopped after the loss of the ID tag is noticed, which is a problem in terms of security.

  Furthermore, in the case of an ID tag that is used only for reciprocating movement between the boarding floor and the destination floor by automatically registering the hall call and the car call, a floor other than the destination floor using this ID tag, for example, There was a problem that we could not go to the basement where the parking lot was.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve such problems, and an object of the present invention is an identification medium used by an elevator user to use an elevator, and an identification medium having a different use mode is used as one elevator apparatus. It is to be able to use in.

  Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to promptly stop the use of a lost identification medium when the identification medium is lost.

  A first feature according to an embodiment of the present invention is that in the elevator apparatus, the identification medium that is installed in at least one of the elevator hall and the car and that is recorded on the identification medium carried by the elevator user is identified. A reading device for reading first information, a storage unit for storing second information having the same content as the first information and elevator use information related to the second information, and the identification by the reading device When the first information of the medium is read, the elevator usage information related to the second information having the same content as the read first information is called from the storage unit, and the elevator usage information is responded to A signal generation unit that generates a registration permission signal, and an elevator that receives the registration permission signal and registers a car call using the input registration permission signal Control apparatus and is to comprise a.

  FIG. 3C is information recorded in the RAM 10c, and elevator usage information (use floor) associated with the second information of FIG. 3B detected by collation by the arithmetic processing unit 10b. Information, automatic registration presence / absence information).

  The elevator usage information shown in FIG. 3C is configured as described below. Bits <0> and <1> represent information on floors that can be used for hall calls. Specifically, since it is “1, 1”, it means that hall calls can be made on all floors (lower floor, middle floor, upper floor). Bits <2> and <3> represent information on the hall call automatic registration floor. Specifically, since it is “0, 0”, this means that the hall call cannot be automatically registered on any floor. Bits <4> and <5> represent information on floors that can be used for car calls. Specifically, “1, 1” indicates that a car call can be made to any floor. Bits <6> and <7> represent information on the car call automatic registration floor. Specifically, since it is “0, 0”, this means that the car call cannot be automatically registered to any floor.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing various registration permission signals output from the signal output unit 10 d of the tag reader control device 10 to the signal input / output unit 11 a of the elevator control device 11. In this elevator apparatus, when the first information of the ID tag 2 is read by the tag readers 3a, 3b, 3c, 6, a registration permission signal is generated in the arithmetic processing unit 10b according to the read result, and the generated registration permission signal Is output to the signal input / output unit 11a. The registration permission signals that are output include the upper floor car call registration permission signal (1h), the middle floor car call registration permission signal (1j), the lower floor car call registration permission signal (1k), and the upper floor platform call registration permission signal ( 1l), lower floor hall call registration permission signal (1m), lower floor hall call registration permission signal (1n), upper floor car call automatic registration permission signal (1p), middle floor car call automatic registration permission signal (1q), lower At least one of floor car call automatic registration permission signal (1r), upper floor hall call automatic registration permission signal (1s), middle floor hall call automatic registration permission signal (1t), and lower floor hall call automatic registration permission signal (1u) It is.

  As assumed in this embodiment, the elevator user comes to the landing on the lower floor, and the ID tag 2 carried by the elevator user can get on and off at all floors, and When automatic registration of the hall call and the car call is not possible, the upper floor car call registration permission signal (1h) and the middle floor car call registration permission signal according to the reading result of the first information of the ID tag 2 by the tag reader 3a. (1j), a lower floor car call registration permission signal (1k), and a lower floor hall call registration permission signal (1n) are output from the signal output unit 10d to the signal input / output unit 11a.

  Here, a series of operations when the elevator user moves from the lower floor to the upper floor using the car 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, when the elevator user holds the ID tag 2 over the tag reader 3a on the lower floor, the first information recorded in the ID tag 2 is read (S1).

  The read first information is input to the arithmetic processing unit 10b of the tag reader control device 10 through the signal input unit 10a, and it is verified whether or not the second information having the same content as the first information is recorded in the RAM 10c. (S2).

  When it is verified that the second information having the same content as the first information is recorded, the elevator use information related to the second information is called from the RAM 10c (S3), and the called elevator is called. A registration permission signal corresponding to the usage information is generated in the arithmetic processing unit 10b (S4), and the generated registration permission signal is output from the signal output unit 10d to the signal input / output unit 11a (S5). The registration permission signals generated and output in this case are the upper floor car call registration permission signal (1h), the middle floor car call registration permission signal (1j), the lower floor car call registration permission signal (1k), and the lower floor hall call. It is a registration permission signal (1n).

  When the elevator button at the lower floor operation panel 5a is pressed by the elevator user at the lower floor hall (S6), in this case, the lower floor hall call registration permission signal (1n) is output. The hall call on the lower floor is registered in the arithmetic processing unit 11b (S7), and the car 1 travels toward the lower floor (S8). In this case, when the car 1 travels, the driving amount of the hoisting machine 13 is calculated by the arithmetic processing unit 11b based on the detection result of the car position detecting unit 12, and the hoisting machine 13 is calculated based on the calculation result. Driven, the car 1 travels to the lower floor.

  When the car 1 arrives at the lower floor, the car door of the car 1 is opened and the elevator user can get into the car 1. When the elevator user gets into the car 1, the arithmetic processing unit 11b determines that the elevator user gets into the car 1 based on the detection result of the load detection unit 9 (S9), and the car door is closed. The

  When the elevator user who has entered the car 1 presses the destination floor button 7 (the upper floor button) of the operation panel 8 (S10), an upper floor car call registration permission signal (1h) is output in this case. Therefore, the car call on the upper floor is registered in the arithmetic processing unit 11b (S11), and the car 1 travels toward the upper floor (S12). In this case, when the car 1 travels, the driving amount of the hoisting machine 13 is calculated by the arithmetic processing unit 11b based on the detection result of the car position detecting unit 12, and the hoisting machine 13 is calculated based on the calculation result. Driven, the car 1 travels to the upper floor.

  As described above, the elevator user is carried from the lower floor to the upper floor.

  Next, in the first embodiment, the ID tag 2 carried by the elevator user is used only for reciprocal movement between the lower floor and the upper floor, and is used for the hall call and the car call. A series of operations when the elevator user moves from the lower floor to the upper floor using the car 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, when the elevator user holds the ID tag 2 over the tag reader 3a on the lower floor, the first information recorded in the ID tag 2 is read (S21).

  The read first information is input to the arithmetic processing unit 10b of the tag reader control device 10 through the signal input unit 10a, and it is verified whether or not the second information having the same content as the first information is recorded in the RAM 10c. (S22).

  When it is verified that the second information having the same content as the first information is recorded, the elevator use information associated with the second information is called from the RAM 10c (S23), and the called elevator is called. A registration permission signal corresponding to the usage information is generated in the arithmetic processing unit 10b (S24), and the generated registration permission signal is output from the signal output unit 10d to the signal input / output unit 11a (S25). The registration permission signals generated and output in this case are the lower floor hall call automatic registration permission signal (1u) and the upper floor car call automatic registration permission signal (1p).

  By outputting the lower floor hall call automatic registration permission signal (1u), the lower floor hall call is automatically registered in the arithmetic processing unit 11b (S26), and the car 1 travels toward the lower floor (S27). . In this case, when the car 1 travels, the driving amount of the hoisting machine 13 is calculated by the arithmetic processing unit 11b based on the detection result of the car position detecting unit 12, and the hoisting machine 13 is calculated based on the calculation result. Driven, the car 1 travels to the lower floor.

  When the car 1 arrives at the lower floor, the car door of the car 1 is opened and the elevator user can get into the car 1. When the elevator user gets into the car 1, the arithmetic processing unit 11b determines that the elevator user gets into the car 1 based on the detection result of the load detection unit 9 (S28), and the car door is closed. The

  After entering the car 1 and closing the car door, the car call to the upper floor is automatically registered in the arithmetic processing unit 11b (S29) because the car call automatic registration permission signal is output (S29). The car 1 travels toward the upper floor (S30). In this case, when the car 1 travels, the driving amount of the hoisting machine 13 is calculated by the arithmetic processing unit 11b based on the detection result of the car position detecting unit 12, and the hoisting machine 13 is calculated based on the calculation result. Driven, the car 1 travels to the upper floor.

  As described above, the elevator user is carried from the lower floor to the upper floor.

  In such a configuration, according to the elevator apparatus, only the first information including the identification information of each ID tag 2 and the use permission information of the elevator apparatus is recorded on the ID tag 2 carried by each elevator user. Second information having the same content as the first information recorded in each ID tag 2 and elevator usage information related to the second information are recorded in the RAM 10c of the tag reader control device 10. For this reason, the kind of information recorded on ID tag 2 decreases, and it becomes possible to use ID tag 2 from which an application mode differs with one elevator apparatus. Examples of the ID tag 2 that can be used in one elevator device are different from each other, such as an ID tag 2 that enables a hall call and a car call on a plurality of floors, and a boarding floor by automatically registering a hall call and a car call. ID tag 2 that is used only for reciprocal movement between the target floor and the destination floor.

(Second Embodiment)
An elevator apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Note that, in the second embodiment and other embodiments described below, the same components as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

  The basic configuration of the elevator apparatus according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the elevator apparatus according to the first embodiment. The difference between the elevator apparatus of the second embodiment and the elevator apparatus of the first embodiment is that an information change / erase unit 21 is provided in the elevator apparatus of the second embodiment.

  The information changing / erasing unit 21 is connected to the arithmetic processing unit 10b via the signal input unit 10a.

  The information changing / erasing unit 21 is information recorded in the RAM 10c, and includes second information (elevator device use permission information and identification information) shown in FIG. 3B, and FIG. 3C. The shown elevator usage information (usage floor information, automatic registration presence / absence information) can be called to the arithmetic processing unit 10b, and the information can be changed or deleted.

  In such a configuration, when an elevator user carrying the ID tag 2 changes the floor where the elevator is used or the usage mode of the ID tag 2, the information change / erase unit 21 records the information in the RAM 10c. By rewriting existing information (second information and elevator usage information), the floor that can be used using the ID tag 2 and the usage mode of the ID tag 2 can be changed. For example, the car call available floor can be changed by rewriting the information of bits <4> and <5> in the elevator usage information of FIG. Further, by changing the information of bits <6> and <7> in the elevator usage information of FIG. 3C, it is possible to automatically register a car call.

  Further, when the ID tag 2 is lost, the second information recorded in the RAM 10c, which is the same information as the first information recorded in the lost ID tag 2, is called, and the second information By changing the information of bit <7> from “1” to “0”, it is possible to take a measure to stop the use of the lost ID tag 2. For this reason, the time required to stop using the ID tag 2 after noticing the loss of the ID tag 2 is shortened, and the security performance when the ID tag 2 is lost can be improved.

(Third embodiment)
An elevator apparatus according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. The basic configuration of the elevator apparatus according to the third embodiment is the same as that of the elevator apparatus according to the first embodiment, and the entire configuration of the elevator apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. In the elevator apparatus according to the third embodiment, when a hall call automatic registration signal or a car call automatic registration permission signal is input to the arithmetic processing unit 11b according to the reading result of the first information of the ID tag 2, the automatic processing is performed. There is provided means for ensuring the time for the elevator user to perform call registration without performing registration for a predetermined period of time. This means is realized by processing in the arithmetic processing unit 11b.

  Hereinafter, in the explanation here, the ID tag 2 carried by the elevator user can be used on the upper floor, the middle floor, and the lower floor, and the hall call automatic registration and the car on the upper floor and the lower floor. Assume that automatic call registration is possible. An explanation will be given assuming that this elevator user gets into the car 1 from the lower floor and gets off the car 1 at the middle floor.

  First, when the elevator user holds the ID tag 2 over the tag reader 3a on the lower floor, the first information recorded in the ID tag 2 is read (S41).

  The read first information is input to the arithmetic processing unit 10b of the tag reader control device 10 through the signal input unit 10a, and it is verified whether or not the second information having the same content as the first information is recorded in the RAM 10c. (S42).

  When it is verified that the second information having the same content as the first information is recorded, the elevator use information associated with the second information is called from the RAM 10c (S43), and the called elevator is called. A registration permission signal corresponding to the usage information is generated in the arithmetic processing unit 10b (S44), and the generated registration permission signal is output from the signal output unit 10d to the signal input / output unit 11a (S45). The registration permission signals generated and output in this case are the upper floor car call registration permission signal (1h), the middle floor car call registration permission signal (1j), the lower floor car call registration permission signal (1k), and the lower floor hall call. A registration permission signal (1n), an upper floor car call automatic registration permission signal (1p), and a lower floor hall call automatic registration permission signal (1u).

  By outputting the lower floor hall call automatic registration permission signal (1u), the lower floor hall call is automatically registered in the arithmetic processing unit 11b (S46), and the car 1 travels toward the lower floor (S47). . In this case, when the car 1 travels, the driving amount of the hoisting machine 13 is calculated by the arithmetic processing unit 11b based on the detection result of the car position detecting unit 12, and the hoisting machine 13 is calculated based on the calculation result. Driven, the car 1 travels to the lower floor.

  When the car 1 arrives at the lower floor, the car door of the car 1 is opened and the elevator user can get into the car 1. When the elevator user gets into the car 1, the arithmetic processing unit 11b determines that the elevator user gets into the car 1 based on the detection result of the load detecting unit 9 (S48), and the car door is closed. (S49).

  After the car door is closed, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (S50), and it is determined whether or not the destination floor button 7 of the operation panel 8 in the car 1 has been pressed. (S51). And by the process of these step S50 and step S51, before the car call is automatically registered, a certain time during which the elevator user can register the car call is secured. Note that the determination in step S50 and the determination in step S51 may be started first.

  Before the set time elapses (NO in S50), when the middle floor destination floor button 7 is pressed (YES in S51), a car call with the middle floor as the destination floor is registered in the arithmetic processing unit 11b (S52). ), The car 1 travels toward the registered floor (middle floor) (S53).

  If the destination floor button 7 is not pressed (NO in S51) and a certain time has elapsed (YES in S50), a car call directed to the upper floor is made based on the upper floor car call automatic registration permission signal (1p). It is automatically registered in the arithmetic processing unit 11b (S54), and the car 1 travels toward the automatically registered floor (upper floor) (S55).

  In such a configuration, according to the third embodiment, even if the ID tag 2 carried by the elevator user can perform automatic registration of the car call, the elevator user can automatically call the car call. It is possible to go to a floor other than the registered floor. This improves the usability of the ID tag 2 for an elevator user who carries the ID tag 2 having a car call automatic registration function.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the car call automatic registration is permitted has been described. Similarly, when the hall call automatic registration is permitted, the first information of the ID tag 2 is read. It is possible to secure time for the elevator user to perform the registration operation for the hall call without performing the hall call automatic registration for a predetermined time.

  For example, the entrance floor is on the middle floor, the destination floor is on the upper floor, and landing call automatic registration is permitted on the middle and upper floors. In this case, when the elevator user reads the ID tag 2 at the elevator landing on the middle floor, the middle floor call automatic registration permission signal is sent to the elevator controller by the arithmetic processing in the arithmetic processing unit 10b after reading the ID tag 2. 11, the hall call automatic registration is not immediately performed, and the time for the elevator user to register the operation panel 5b on the middle floor is ensured for a certain period of time. If the elevator user presses the landing button 4 on the operation panel 5b within that time, the hall call is registered in the direction of the pressed operation button 4. Thereby, when there is a parking lot on the lower floor, the elevator user can call the hall in the opposite direction to the floor where the hall call is automatically registered.

(Fourth embodiment)
A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the basic configuration of this embodiment is the same as that of the third embodiment, and this embodiment is different from the third embodiment in that automatic registration of a car call is performed for a predetermined time. The speaker 31 which is an alerting | reporting part which alert | reports to an elevator user that a car call can be performed when the fixed time when the elevator user can perform registration of a car call is secured without performing. is there. The speaker 31 is provided in the car 1, and is connected to the arithmetic processing unit 11b via the signal input / output unit 11a. An announcement such as “Please press the destination floor button” is made from the speaker 31.

  In such a configuration, as shown in step S50 and step S51 in the flowchart of FIG. 8 in the third embodiment, a floor other than the floor that is automatically registered for a certain period of time before the automatic registration of the car call is performed. When the car call can be registered, the speaker 31 announces that fact. Thus, it is possible to notify the elevator user that the operation of the destination floor button 7 on the operation panel 8 is effective, and the elevator user who has entered the car 1 can move to a floor other than the floors that are automatically registered ( However, a car call can be registered with the destination floor as a destination floor).

  Note that a display device may be used as the notification unit instead of the speaker 31.

  In the present embodiment, the speaker 31 is provided in the car 1, and when the car call is automatically registered, the car can be called on a floor other than the floor that is automatically registered. You may install in the elevator hall. In this case, when the hall call automatic registration is performed, the speaker announces that a hall call in a direction opposite to the automatically registered direction is possible for a certain period of time.
