For example, the display units 12A and 12B display text information while scrolling characters in a scroll display region 17 in which a plurality of LED dots are arranged vertically and horizontally.

  The landing control devices 16A and 16B may scroll the display units 12A and 12B by various controls such as a scanning lighting method. The landing control devices 16A and 16B, for example, in the LED rows of the display units 12A and 12B, sequentially shift the rows while controlling the voltage on and off from the end, and at each shift to the dots at the required positions in the LED columns. A current is passed to turn on the LED instantaneously. In this case, the landing control devices 16A and 16B can arbitrarily set the brightness of the LEDs by making the time of lighting and the lighting cycle variable, for example. The landing control devices 16A and 16B perform, for example, scanning lighting on the basis of scanning lighting as a scroll control of the display units 12A and 12B. Alternatively, scroll display can be performed by sequentially shifting from left to right.

  And the control apparatus 13 of this embodiment cooperates several display part 12A, 12B, and scroll-displays the information regarding an operation along the arrangement direction of this several display part 12A, 12B, a horizontal direction here. Execute control. In other words, the control device 13 treats the plurality of display units 12A and 12B as one display unit when scrolling and displaying information related to the operation, and the display unit 12A and the display unit 12B are linked and linked. Scroll display.

  The control device 13 according to the present embodiment controls the scroll display start timing between the plurality of display units 12A and 12B in a coordinated manner, thereby linking the plurality of display units 12A and 12B to provide one sentence related to the operation. Executes control to scroll and display information. Here, the control device 13 starts scroll display from the display unit at one end in the arrangement direction of the plurality of display units 12A and 12B, for example, the display unit 12B, and starts scroll display of the other display unit 12A. Set a time lag in timing.

  Specifically, the elevator control devices 9A and 9B control the landing of a scroll command signal for executing scroll control when, for example, display of text information by scroll display is necessary to display the current operation state. Transmit to devices 16A and 16B. There are various cases in which the text information display by scroll display is necessary, for example, when one or both of the car 4A and the car 4B are full, under maintenance, resting, etc. There are cases.

  Here, the elevator control devices 9A and 9B indicate that at least one of the operation states of the car 4A or the car 4B needs to display text information according to the detection results of various sensors and detectors. When detected, the start timing of the scroll display on each of the display units 12A and 12B is set. At this time, the elevator control devices 9A and 9B mutually communicate and exchange signals, commands, information, and the like. The elevator control devices 9A and 9B have predetermined timings for the scroll display start timing of the display unit 12A and the scroll display start timing of the display unit 12B. Set the time lag. And elevator control device 9A, 9B transmits a scroll command signal to each landing control device 16A, 16B with the character string information to display, the set start timing information, etc.

  When the landing control devices 16A and 16B receive the scroll command signals from the corresponding elevator control devices 9A and 9B, the landing control devices 16A and 16B perform control to scroll and display information related to the operation in cooperation with the display units 12A and 12B. For example, the control device 13 transmits a scroll command signal to the display unit 12B under the control of the landing control device 16B, and the display unit 12B starts scroll display in response thereto. Then, the control device 13 provides a predetermined time lag with respect to the timing when the scroll command signal is transmitted from the landing control device 16B to the display unit 12B and the scroll display is started under the control of the landing control device 16A. Then, a scroll command signal is transmitted to the display unit 12A, and the display unit 12A starts scroll display in response thereto.

  As an example, the timing at which the display unit 12A starts scroll display in conjunction with the display unit 12B is a signal that the elevator control device 9B has output the final character string information to the display unit 12B side via the landing control device 16B. By exchanging between the elevator control device 9A and the elevator control device 9B, the elevator control device 9A transmits a scroll command signal (start signal) to the display unit 12A side via the landing control device 16A. Is set. After receiving this scroll command signal, display unit 12A continuously displays a character string having the same content as that displayed on display unit 12B. For example, when the display of the text information is scrolled at a speed of 300 ms / column, a scroll command signal is transmitted to the display unit 12A by communication between control devices about 3 seconds after the start of the scroll display of the display unit 12B. At this time, more specifically, the transmission / reception of signals between the elevator control device 9A and the elevator control device 9B, the communication time lag from the elevator control device 9A to the landing control device 16A, etc. are held in advance as data, and according to this For example, the scroll command signal may be transmitted to the display unit 12A in a time several hundred ms earlier than 3s. Thereby, the hall display device 1 can scroll and display one piece of information related to the operation in cooperation with the display units 12A and 12B.

  For example, as illustrated in order from FIG. 4 to FIG. 9, the platform display device 1 first displays a character string on the display unit 12B, here “A, B, C,... The information is sequentially output, and the text information is scroll-displayed on the display unit 12B. Then, after a predetermined time lag has elapsed from the start of scroll display on the display unit 12B, the platform display device 1 displays a character string having the same content as the character string scroll-displayed on the display unit 12B on the right side. Are sequentially output, and the text information is scroll-displayed on the display unit 12A. As a result, in the platform display device 1, the scroll display area 17 of the plurality of display units 12A and 12B functions as one display unit, and the display unit 12A and the display unit 12B cooperate with each other. Two pieces of text information can be scroll-displayed in the scroll display area 17.

  4 to 9, the text information “A, B, C,...” Is conveniently used as the text information displayed in cooperation with the plurality of display units 12A and 12B. , Text information on the operation of the elevator 2 such as “I will go to Unit ○ because it is full”, “I will go straight after getting off because it is full”, or “Emergency stop” is displayed by multiple display parts 12A, 12B Displayed together.

  The hall display device 1 configured as described above is provided side by side on the halls 8 of the plurality of cars 4A, 4B corresponding to the cars 4A, 4B of the elevator 2, and the corresponding cars 4A, 4B. A plurality of display units 12A and 12B capable of displaying the operation state of each and the plurality of display units 12A and 12B are linked together, and information relating to the operation is arranged along the arrangement direction of the plurality of display units 12A and 12B. And a control device 13 that executes control for scroll display. The elevator 2 configured as described above includes a plurality of cars 4A and 4B that can move up and down a plurality of hoistways 3A and 3B, respectively, and the landing display device 1.

  Therefore, the landing display device 1 and the elevator 2 can improve the visibility of text information and the like within a limited display area by scrolling and displaying information related to operation in cooperation with the plurality of display units 12A and 12B. It is possible to make the display contents of the display units 12A and 12B easier to see. When a plurality of display units 12A and 12B are arranged close to each other as in the present embodiment, for example, when information about operation is scrolled and displayed simultaneously on each display unit 12A and 12B, each is displayed on the floor display unit. Since the same scroll display is performed all at once, it is difficult to visually understand, and the visibility of each sentence information tends to be relatively lowered. However, the landing display device 1 and the elevator 2 can display information on the display units 12A and 12B in an easy-to-view manner by scrolling and displaying information related to the operation in cooperation with the plurality of display units 12A and 12B as described above. As a result, information can be accurately transmitted to the user.

  The control device 13 described above has a mode in which information is scroll-displayed on one display unit among the plurality of display units 12A and 12B, for example, the display unit 12B, and information is not displayed on the other display unit 12A. It is possible to use this mode properly according to the situation. In this case, for example, when the elevator control device 9B transmits a scroll command signal to the display unit 12B via the landing control device 16B, the elevator control device 9B transmits a display cancellation signal to the elevator control device 9A. In response to this, the elevator control device 9A transmits a display cancel signal to the display unit 12A side via the landing control device 16A, and cancels the display of information on the display unit 12A.

  As a result, the landing display device 1 and the elevator 2 can prevent the display parts 12A and 12B from performing scroll display independently at the same time, depending on the situation, and each is the same as the floor display part. Since it is possible to prevent the scroll display from being performed at the same time, it is possible to make the display contents of the display units 12A and 12B easier to see.

  In addition, for example, the control device 13 allows the landing control devices 16A and 16B to mutually communicate and exchange signals, commands, information, etc., and start the scroll display on the display unit 12A and start the scroll display on the display unit 12B. A configuration may be used in which a predetermined time lag is set for the timing. In this case, for example, the elevator control devices 9A and 9B are in a situation where at least one of the operation states of the car 4A or the car 4B needs to display text information according to detection results by various sensors and detectors. When this is detected, the elevator control device 9B transmits a scroll command signal to the display unit 12B side via the landing control device 16B. The control device 13 transmits a scroll command signal to the display unit 12B under the control of the landing control device 16B, and the display unit 12B starts scroll display in response thereto.

  The control device 13 communicates and exchanges signals, commands, information, and the like between the landing control device 16A and the landing control device 16B, and the landing control device 16A itself responds to the scroll display start timing of the display unit 12B. A predetermined time lag is provided to set the start timing of the scroll display on the display unit 12A. The control device 13 provides a predetermined time lag with respect to the timing at which the scroll command signal is transmitted from the landing control device 16B to the display unit 12B and the scroll display is started under the control of the landing control device 16A. A scroll command signal is transmitted to the unit 12A, and the display unit 12A starts scroll display in response thereto. In other words, in this example, the timing at which the display unit 12A starts scroll display in conjunction with the display unit 12B is a signal that the landing control device 16B outputs the final character string information to the display unit 12B side. In response to this, the landing control device 16A sets a predetermined time lag and transmits a scroll command signal (start signal) to the display unit 12A side.

  In this case, the hall display device 1 and the elevator 2 can improve the accuracy of the cooperation timing when scrolling and displaying various information related to the operation in cooperation with the display unit 12A and the display unit 12B. Timing control on the 9A and 9B sides can be eliminated.

  According to the hall display device 1 and the elevator 2 according to the embodiment described above, the visibility of the display information of the display units 12A and 12B can be improved, and the display contents of the display units 12A and 12B can be easily seen.
