Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator apparatus.

  As an elevator for use in a special environment, an elevator that controls operation using front and rear (two-way) doors has been proposed. For example, an elevator has been proposed that controls a door to get on and off depending on the congestion time.

  An elevator having front and rear doors is also used for a station building. On the predetermined floor of the station building using this elevator, ticket gates are provided in front of and behind the elevator. On the other hand, on floors different from the predetermined floor, homes are provided in front of and behind the elevator.

  In this elevator, a user who gets on from the front of the elevator gets off to the front of the elevator. On the other hand, the user who got on from the back of an elevator gets off to the back of an elevator (for example, refer patent document 1).

  That is, the user needs to reverse the moving direction in the car. In addition, the boarding gate and the exit gate are switched depending on the time of day. For this reason, if this elevator is applied to a building or a department store where there is a lot of traffic, the user will be confused.

  On the other hand, there is a through-type automobile elevator as an elevator that does not need to reverse the moving direction. There is also an elevator that allows a wheelchair user to get on and off only by moving forward (for example, see Patent Document 2).

  In the thing of patent document 2, the hall of the lowest floor is provided in one of the front and back of an elevator. On the other hand, the hall on the top floor is provided on the other side in front of and behind the elevator. The intermediate floor halls are provided both in front of and behind the elevator.

  In this elevator, a user moving in the ascending direction gets into the car from one of the front and rear of the elevator. When the car arrives at the desired floor, the user moves from the car to the other of the front and rear of the elevator. On the other hand, the user who moves in the descending direction gets into the car from the other side of the elevator in front and rear. When the car arrives at the desired floor, the user moves from the car to one of the front and rear of the elevator.

  However, in the thing of patent document 2, if there are many users waiting for boarding, for example in the lowest floor and the top floor, the user in a car cannot get off smoothly. In addition, a user waiting for boarding cannot get on the car until the user in the car gets off. For this reason, if the thing of patent document 2 is applied to a high-rise building which increases every year, a lobby floor and a boarding / alighting concentration floor (crowded floor) will be crowded.

  This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned subject, and the objective is to provide the elevator apparatus which can relieve the congestion of a passenger concentration floor.

  The elevator apparatus according to the present invention is provided on each floor on one of the front and rear sides of the elevator, and is provided with a plurality of boarding ports set exclusively for riding, and the boarding port on the other side of the front and rear of the elevator. It is provided on each floor and has a plurality of exit gates that are set exclusively for getting off.

  First, in step S1, the elevator enters a standby operation state. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S2, and when the user operates the hall button 10 in the hall 4 dedicated to the entrance to register the hall call, a car to which the hall call is assigned is selected from a plurality of elevators. Hereinafter, the operation of the corresponding machine will be described.

  The control panel 12 causes the car 1 to travel toward the landing call registration floor. Then, it progresses to step S3 and the control panel 12 lights the forecast light of the hall lantern 11 of a hall call registration floor, and the boarding door exclusive light 13 at the same timing. Thereafter, immediately before the car 1 arrives at the hall call registration floor, the control panel 12 blinks the hall lantern 11 and the boarding gate light 13 on the hall call registration floor. These blinking continues until it is turned off. Thereafter, when a predetermined time elapses, the car 1 arrives at the landing call registration floor.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S4, and the control panel 12 opens the entrance door dedicated car door 2 and the entrance entrance dedicated hold door 6 on the hall call registration floor. Thereafter, the user gets into the car 1 from the boarding entrance 5. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S5, and when the user registers the car call with the destination button on the car operation panel in the car 1, the control panel 12 causes the car 1 to travel toward the car call registration floor. At the same time, the control panel 12 turns off the blinking hall lantern 11 and the entrance lamp 13.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S6, and the control panel 12 determines whether there is a hall call registration with the hall button 10 on the other floor. If there is no hall call registration with the hall button 10 on the other floor, the process proceeds to step S7. In step S7, the control panel 12 causes the car 1 to travel toward the car call registration floor. Thereafter, when the car 1 arrives at the car call registration floor, the control panel 12 turns on the exit door dedicated lamp 14 on the car call registration floor and also holds the car door 3 for the exit door and the exit door dedicated hold door on the car call registration floor. 9 and open.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S8, where the exit car door 3 and the exit door holder 9 on the car call registration floor are fully opened, and the door opening time (non-interference time) expires. When the optoelectronic device corresponding to the car door 3 dedicated to the exit and the hold door 9 dedicated to the exit of the car call registration floor does not detect an object, the control panel 12 causes the car door 3 dedicated to the exit door and the exit door of the car call registration floor. The exclusive hold door 9 starts to close. When the exit car door 3 and the exit door holder 9 on the car call registration floor are fully closed, the control panel 12 turns off the exit light 14.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S9, and the control panel 12 determines whether there is a car call or a hall call on another floor. If there is neither a car call nor a hall call on the other floor, the process proceeds to step S10. In step S10, the elevator enters a standby operation state, and the operation ends.

  On the other hand, if there is a car call or a hall call, the process proceeds to step S11. In step S11, the control panel 12 causes the car 1 to travel toward the car call or hall call registration floor. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S12, and the control panel 12 determines whether or not the arrival floor of the car 1 is a car call and a hall call registration floor.

  When the arrival floor is one of the car call and the hall call registration floor, the process proceeds to step S13. In step S13, the control panel 12 determines whether or not the arrival floor is a hall call registration floor. If the arrival floor is a registered floor with only a car call, the operations in steps S7 to S11 are performed.

  On the other hand, if the arrival floor is a registration floor only for hall calls, the process proceeds to step S14. In step S14, before the car 1 arrives at the hall call registration floor, the control panel 12 turns on the hall lantern 11 and the boarding gate lamp 13 on the hall call registration floor.

  When the arrival floor is only a hall call, there is no user to get off from the car 1. For this reason, as soon as the car 1 arrives at the landing call registration floor, the control panel 12 blinks the hall lantern 11 and the entrance lamp 13 on the landing call registration floor. At the same time, the control panel 12 opens the entrance door dedicated car door 2 of the car 1 and the entrance entrance holder 6 on the hall call registration floor.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S15, where the entrance car door 2 and the entrance door holder 6 on the landing call registration floor are fully opened, and the door opening time (non-interference time) expires. When the photoelectric device corresponding to the entrance car door 2 and the entrance door holder 6 on the landing call registration floor does not detect an object, the control panel 12 causes the entrance door on the entrance door 2 and the entrance hall registration floor. Start to close the exclusive hold door 6. When the entrance door dedicated car door 2 and the entrance entrance holder 6 on the landing call registration floor are fully closed, the control panel 12 turns off the entrance entrance lamp 13. Thereafter, the operations in steps S9 to S11 are performed.

  On the other hand, if the arrival floor of the car 1 is the car call and hall call registration floor in step S12, the process proceeds to step S16. In step S16, the control panel 12 lights the car exit / departure hall dedicated lamp 14 on the floor and registration hall registration floor, and uses the car door 3 for exit hall and the hall exit / hold area 9 on the floor registration floor. open. At this time, the control panel 12 maintains the door closed state of the car door dedicated door 2 and the car door dedicated hold door 6 on the hall call registration floor. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S17, and the control panel 12 closes the exit door dedicated car door 3 and the exit door dedicated hold door 9 on the landing call registration floor and turns off the exit exit dedicated lamp 14 in the same manner as in step S8. Let

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S18, and when the exit door dedicated car door 3 and the exit door hold door 9 on the landing call registration floor are fully closed, the control panel 12 calls the entrance door dedicated car door 2 and calls and landing. Start opening the boarding door holder 6 on the call registration floor. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S19, and the control panel 12 closes the boarding door dedicated car door 2 and the car calling and hold boarding door holder 6 on the landing call registration floor, and turns off the boarding board dedicated light 13 in the same manner as step S15. Let Thereafter, the operations in steps S9 to S11 are performed.

  If a hall call is registered with the hall button 10 on the other floor in step S6, the operations after step S12 are performed.

  According to the first embodiment described above, the boarding exclusive port 5 is provided in front of the elevator. On the other hand, an exit port 8 is provided behind the elevator. Thereby, a user's flow can be made one way. That is, even if there are many users waiting for boarding in the hall for exclusive use of the entrance 4, the users in the car 1 can smoothly get off to the hall 7 for getting off the exit. In addition, a user waiting for boarding in the boarding hall 4 can get in the car 1 without waiting for a user in the car 1 to get out to the hall 7 for getting off the hall.

  For this reason, the boarding time in each floor and alighting time are shortened. Thereby, congestion can be eased on the passenger concentration floor. This configuration can be widely applied not only to wheelchair elevators and station building elevators, but also to elevators such as commercial buildings, department stores, hotels and high-rise buildings with many users. For this reason, it is possible to alleviate the congestion on the passenger floors such as the main floor, the observation floor, the company floor, and the parking lot floor. Thereby, the service efficiency of the whole elevator can also be raised.

  In particular, on each floor, the boarding entrance 5 is provided in front of the elevator. On the other hand, on each floor, the exit port 8 is provided behind the elevator. For this reason, it is possible to get off from the car 1 without reversing the moving direction even if the car 1 gets on the floor.

  Further, a boarding lamp 13 is provided near the boarding port 5. On the other hand, an exit exit dedicated lamp 14 is provided in the vicinity of the exit exit exit 8. Therefore, it is possible to notify the user not to get on and off the car 1 from the reverse direction.

  The landing button 10 is provided only on the boarding entrance 5 side of the boarding entrance 5 side and the exiting exit 8 side. For this reason, it can prevent more reliably that the user who is going to get into the cage | basket | car 1 waits in the exit port 8 only.

  In addition, when there are users who get on from the boarding entrance 5 and users who get off from the boarding exit 8, the elevator door on the boarding exit 5 side opens and the elevator door on the boarding entrance 5 side opens. The door opens. For this reason, the door control system which ensured boarding capacity can be constructed. This makes it possible to get on and off smoothly even when there are many users.

  In addition, the boarding entrance lamp 13 is lit at the same timing as the hall lantern 11. For this reason, the user who waits for boarding at boarding exclusive entrance 5 can recognize that he can board if he waits as it is.

  Further, the exit lamp 14 in the present embodiment is turned on when the car 1 arrives. On the other hand, there is also an elevator in which the exit lamp 14 on the floor registered for the car call on the car operation panel is turned on.

  In this case, for example, when the registered floor is canceled by mischievous call cancellation described in JP-A-3-115077 or the like, the getting-off exit lamp 14 is also turned off. At this time, the user in the hall for exclusive use of the exit gate 7 may mistakenly consider that a malfunction has occurred in which the light for exclusive use of the exit gate 14 is turned off even though the car 1 does not arrive.

  On the other hand, the exit exit lamp 14 in the present embodiment is turned on when the car 1 arrives as described above. For this reason, the misunderstanding of the user in the hall 7 only for alighting exit can be prevented. Moreover, even if it uses for the elevator for high-rises, it can suppress exceeding a landing power supply capacity. In addition, if an exit exit dedicated lamp 14 is provided for each of two or more multi-cars, it is possible to notify which elevator will get off.

  In the first embodiment, the boarding exclusive port 5 is provided in front of the elevator and the boarding exclusive port 8 is provided behind the elevator. However, the exclusive boarding port 5 may be provided behind the elevator, and the exclusive boarding port 8 may be provided in front of the elevator. Also in this case, congestion on the passenger concentration floor can be reduced.
