The exclusive operation refers to an operation in which only one car call from the car call registration device is received and the car 10 is moved directly to the destination floor and does not respond to the hall call.

  Furthermore, the elevator 1 has an input / output panel 27 (input / output device) provided at each stop floor for the person to input the number of evacuees during execution of the dedicated operation by switching of the switching control unit 16, A collection unit 19 that collects the number of evacuees for each stop floor input to the output panel 27 and generates a list, and displays a list of the number of evacuees for each stop floor input to each input / output panel 27. The number of evacuees in the car 10 that displays a list of the number of evacuees at each stop floor that is the same as the display on the landing side number display unit 20 (number of people display unit) provided on the evacuation floor Part 30 (number of people display part). The hall-side number display unit 20 and the car-side number display unit 30 display the number of people by floor during dedicated driving, and assist the attendant (evacuation guide) in determining the destination floor of the car.

  An attendant refers to an operator who has been specially trained to perform a special operation of the elevator 1. Attendants are, for example, nurses, doctors, security guards in hospitals, and caregivers at nursing homes. Evacuees are in-patients and facility residents who are evacuated by an attendant. The attendant determines the destination floor with reference to the display information on the hall-side number display unit 20 or the car-side number display unit 30, and the elevator 1 moves the car 10 from the evacuation floor to the determined destination floor. After the car 10 is landed, the car 10 carrying the evacuees is returned to the evacuation floor.

  A main rope 21 is connected to the car 10, and a counterweight 22 is connected to the other end of the main rope 21. A middle portion of the main rope 21 is wound around a sheave of the hoisting machine 24. The hoisting machine 24 is driven and controlled by the operation control unit 13. When the hoisting machine 24 is rotationally driven, the car 10 and the counterweight 22 move in a hoistway manner through the main rope 21 in a hoistway manner. The car 10 has a car control device 31. The car control device 31 opens and closes according to a door opening / closing command from the operation control unit 13.

  The car call registration device 11 has floor buttons for N floors, a car door opening / closing button, an upward button, a downward button, and the like. The car-side number display unit 30 is provided in the vicinity of these buttons. The car call registration device 11 notifies the operation control unit 13 of the car call via the car control device 31.

  The operation control unit 13 is provided in a control panel (C / P: Control Panel) 23. The operation control unit 13 transmits and receives data to and from the hoisting machine 24. The operation control unit 13 receives a pulse train signal indicating the rotational speed of the hoisting motor from the hoisting machine 24, and obtains the car travel distance from the pulse train signal by calculation. The operation control unit 13 constantly monitors the height position of the car 10 in the hoistway and the elevating speed. The function of the operation control unit 13 is executed by a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like.

  The switch unit 14 is a dedicated operation changeover switch. The types of operation modes to be switched by the switch unit 14 are at least a normal operation mode and a dedicated operation mode. The switch unit 14 includes a circuit board having a plurality of contacts corresponding to these operation modes, a cylinder lock provided on the circuit board for selectively closing the contacts, and a key for rotating the cylinder lock. . The attendant keeps the key. The switch unit 14 notifies the control panel 23 of a signal indicating the type of operation mode or a signal indicating mode change by an operation in which the attendant unlocks and turns the cylinder with the key inserted in front of the cylinder lock. The switch unit 14 is provided, for example, directly below the car call registration device 11 and is covered with a panel. This panel has a locked door. This door is also unlocked only by the operation of the attendant.

  When the fire monitoring device 15 determines that a fire has occurred by determining whether or not a fire has occurred by using a fire alarm 25 attached to a room in a building and the output of these fire alarms 25, a fire occurrence signal is generated. And a monitoring panel 26 for notifying the control panel 23 of a fire signal.

  When receiving the signal from the switch unit 14, the switching control unit 16 switches the operation mode of the operation control unit 13. When the switching control unit 16 switches the operation mode to the normal operation mode, the operation control unit 13 responds to a car call and a hall call from all floors. When the switching control unit 16 switches the operation mode to the dedicated operation mode, the operation control unit 13 responds only to the car call from the car call registration device 11. In the exclusive operation, the operation control unit 13 ignores the floor hall call. The function of the switching control unit 16 is executed by a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like.

  The input / output panel 27 is a touch panel dedicated for evacuation operation. The entire area of the input / output panel 27 is divided into left and right and top and bottom. The area is divided into a display unit 17 for displaying the number of evacuees and a numeric keypad operation area as an input numeric keypad 18 (input key).

  FIG. 2A is a diagram showing a display example of the input / output panel 27 during normal operation. The above described symbols represent the same elements. During normal operation, the display unit 17 displays the car position and moving direction of the car 10. The input numeric keypad 18 allows a person to input the destination floor 6th floor, for example, “6”. During normal operation, the display unit 17 and the input numeric keypad 18 collectively function as a hall call registration device. FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating a display example of the input / output panel 27 during the dedicated operation. The above described symbols represent the same elements. During the exclusive operation, the display unit 17 displays a screen that prompts the user to input the number of evacuees. During dedicated driving, the input numeric keypad 18 allows a user or refugee in a hospital or a nursing facility to input the number of waiting customers. The user continuously inputs, for example, “1” and “2” to the input numeric keypad 18 to notify the control panel 23 that there are 12 waiting customers. The display and input of these FIG. 2 (a) and FIG.2 (b) are the same in each stop floor from the 2nd floor to the Nth floor. The input / output panel 27 is embedded in the wall around the three-way frame 28 of the hall on all floors from the second floor to the Nth floor.

  The collection unit 19 in FIG. 1 is electrically connected to an input / output panel 27 on each floor from the second floor to the Nth floor via wiring 29 in the wall. The collection unit 19 generates a list of the number of evacuees for each stop floor from the signals from the input numeric keypad 18 of the input / output panel 27. The collection unit 19 reads the signal from the wiring 29 and periodically updates the value of the number of evacuees for each stop floor.

  The number display section is provided in the hall 10. The hall-side number display unit 20 and the car-side number display unit 30 use, for example, a liquid crystal display. FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a display example during normal operation of the hall-side number display unit 20. The hall-side number display unit 20 provided on the first floor, which is an evacuation floor, includes a display area 39 and a button area 40. During normal driving, the hall-side number display unit 20 functions as a first-floor hall call registration device. At the time of exclusive operation, as shown in FIG. 3B, the display area 39 of the hall-side number display unit 20 displays the number of evacuation floors for each stop floor. The hall-side number display unit 20 is embedded in the wall around the three-way frame 28 of the first floor hall.

  The car-side number display unit 30 in the car 10 includes a display area 41 and a door opening / closing button area 42. For example, as shown in FIG. 3C, the car-side number display unit 30 displays the moving direction and position of the car 10 during normal operation. At the time of exclusive operation, for example, as shown in FIG. 3D, the display area 41 of the car-side number display unit 30 displays the number of evacuation floors for each stop floor.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 (b) and 3 (d), the control panel 23 displays the number of evacuees per floor notified by the control panel 23 to the hall-side number display unit 20 and the car-side number display unit 30. Is displayed. The control panel 23 displays the same information on the car-side number display unit 30 and the hall-side number display unit 20. In FIG. 3, the same reference numerals represent the same elements.

  Further, the collection unit 19, the operation control unit 13, and the switching control unit 16 of FIG. 1 are provided in the control panel 23. The control panel 23, the floor display unit 17, the input numeric keypad 18, and the hall-side number display unit 20 are electrically connected by a wiring 29. The control panel 23 includes a car-side number display unit 30, a hall-side number display unit 20 on the first floor, and a display control unit 34 that controls display contents and display timing of the display units 17 from the second floor to the Nth floor. ing. A CPU, ROM, RAM, LSI or the like is used for the control panel 23.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining main operation processing of the elevator 1. The control panel 23 of the elevator 1 configured as described above monitors whether or not a fire signal has been received in step A1. While the control panel 23 does not receive the fire signal, it passes through the NO route and sets the operation mode to the normal operation mode in step A2. While there is no fire or other disaster, the elevator 1 continues normal operation.

  When any of the fire alarms 25 detects heat, smoke, or flame, an alarm is notified. The monitoring panel 26 notifies the control panel 23 of a fire upon detection by the fire alarm 25. When the control panel 23 receives the fire signal in step A1, the YES route is passed. In step A3, the control panel 23 determines whether or not the switch unit 14 (dedicated operation changeover switch) is on. When it is not ON, the control panel 23 passes through the NO route, and executes fire control operation in step A4. In the fire control operation, for example, the control panel 23 causes the traveling car 10 to go straight to the nearest floor. After the car 10 arrives at the nearest floor, the control panel 23 opens the door for a certain period of time to get off the passenger. The control panel 23 keeps the car 10 on the nearest floor or returns it to the evacuation floor.

  After completion of the fire control operation in step A4, the control panel 23 determines whether or not the evacuation operation can be started. The control panel 23 collects information such as gaps, distortions, presence / absence of water immersion, short circuit of the electric system, and availability of power supply from sensors provided in each floor and hoistway. The attendant decides to switch to dedicated operation. The attendant gets into the car 10 that is open on any floor or evacuation floor. The attendant manually operates the switch unit 14 to switch the operation mode to the dedicated operation mode. When the control panel 23 detects the switching to the dedicated operation, for example, each of the input / output panels 27 from the 2nd floor to the Nth floor, the car-side number display unit 30, and the landing-side number display unit 20 on the 1st floor are dedicated. Turn on a special light to inform you of driving. The control panel 23 may notify the dedicated operation using a voice announcement or the like together.

  The control panel 23 starts a dedicated operation. During the dedicated operation, the control panel 23 controls the car 10 so that it does not respond to other calls while the car 10 is moving according to one call. The car 10 can be moved up and down by manual destination designation by the attendant.

  After the start of the dedicated operation, the control panel 23 returns again to step A1, passes through the YES route, and proceeds to step A3. The control panel 23 determines that the switch unit 14 is turned on, passes the YES route, and determines whether the landing call by the evacuees is raised in step A5. If the hall call is not raised in step A5, the control panel 23 passes through the NO route, and in step A6, the hall-side person number display unit 20 and the car-side person number display part 30 receive the signal from all floors. Displays the initial screen with no call.

  5 and 6 show display examples of the initial screen of the hall-side number display unit 20 when there is no call and there is a call, respectively. The above described symbols represent the same elements. Either one of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 is displayed depending on the timing at which the control board 23 reads the presence / absence of a hall call to display the initial screen.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a display example of the initial screen of the hall-side number display unit 20. The display content of the car-side number display unit 30 is also the same as the display example of FIG. The figure shows an example in which the top floor of the stop floor is the sixth floor. There is no landing call from any of the second to sixth floors, and the number of evacuees is displayed for all the stopped floors.

  If the hall call is raised from any floor in step A5, the control panel 23 passes the YES route, and in step A7, calls to the hall-side number display unit 20 and the car-side number display unit 30. Displays the initial screen when is on.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display example of the initial screen of the hall-side number display unit 20. The display content of the car-side number display unit 30 is also the same as the display example of FIG. The figure shows an example in which the hall call is raised from the 4th floor and the hall call is not raised from the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th floors. The number of evacuees on the 4th floor has yet to be determined. In other words, the control panel 23 indicates that there may be an increase or decrease change by inserting a “?” Mark. The display content of the car-side number display unit 30 is also the same as the display example of FIG. If the hall call is also raised from the 5th floor, a “?” Mark is superimposed on the 4th floor and the 5th floor respectively.

  Subsequently, at step A8, the control panel 23 displays on the input / output panel 27 of each floor from the second floor to the Nth floor a prompt to input the number of evacuees. “Waiting for customers” refers to evacuees.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display example of the input / output panel 27 on the second floor during exclusive operation. The above described symbols represent the same elements. The display of each display unit 17 from the third floor to the Nth floor and the display of each input numeric keypad 18 are the same as in the example of FIG. At each landing, the display unit 17 displays “Please enter the current waiting number” and prompts the refugees and attendants to enter the number of people. Inpatients, attendants, nurses, laboratory technicians or doctors on each floor of the hospital gather from the room to the floor. Or, in a nursing facility, tenants, caregivers and attendants on each floor gather at the landing. Any one of the customers looks around and determines the evacuees who evacuate using the elevator 1 among the gathered people on the spot or according to a predetermined rule or the like. The user who has counted the number of persons inputs the number of evacuees on the floor using the input numeric keypad 18. The input numeric keypad 18 on the input / output panel 27 includes an increase button 32 (button) for increasing the number of persons once input and a decrease button 33 (button) for decreasing the number of persons. The user uses the increase button 32 and the decrease button 33 to input a change in the number of people as appropriate. The input operation on each floor from the third floor to the Nth floor is the same.

  In step A9, the control panel 23 reads and updates information input from the input / output panels 27 from the second floor to the Nth floor. The indicator refers to the hall-side number display unit 20, the input / output panel 27, and the car-side number display unit 30. In step A10, the control panel 23 determines whether the dedicated operation remains on or off based on the value of the switch unit 14. Since the operation of the switch unit 14 is performed by the attendant, the dedicated operation is continued as long as the attendant continues the dedicated operation. When the switch unit 14 is off in step A10, the control panel 23 finishes the process through the NO route. If the switch unit 14 is on in step A10, the control panel 23 continues the dedicated operation through the YES route. Thereafter, the control panel 23 causes each input / output panel 27, the floor-side number display unit 20 on the first floor, and the car-side number display unit 30 to update the display.

  The above is the description of the main flow of the elevator 1. Hereinafter, the display content update process of the elevator 1 will be described.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining a method of updating display information on the input / output panels 27 from the second floor to the Nth floor, the hall-side number display unit 20 and the car-side number display unit 30 on the first floor. It is assumed that the car 10 is manually landing on the evacuation floor or one of the floors or is traveling at the start of the dedicated operation.

  In step B1, the control panel 23 determines whether the number of waiting customers has been input. If the control panel 23 determines that the number of persons has been input to the input numeric keypad 18 of the input / output panel 27 on any floor, it passes through the YES route, and in step B2, the display area of the car-side number display section 30 in FIG. Change the number of people in each floor in 41. The control panel 23 changes the number of evacuees on the floor where the input has been made, and displays the number of persons by floor after the change.

  Subsequently, in step B3, the control panel 23 displays the input number of waiting customers. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display example of the hall-side number display section 20 on the first floor, in which a call registration waiting screen is displayed. The attendant refers to the figure and knows the situation where the number of waiting customers has been input from the second and fourth floors. The control panel 23 causes the car-side number display unit 30 to display the same number of people by floor as the hall-side number display unit 20.

  When the number of waiting customers is not input at step B1 and when the process at step B3 is executed, the control panel 23 determines whether the increase button 32 or the decrease button 33 is pressed at step B4. If the control panel 23 determines that any one of the increase button 32 and the decrease button 33 has been pressed, the YES route is passed. In step B5, the control panel 23 displays a list of the number of evacuees on the floor where the input has been made. As shown in FIG. 9, a list of the number of people by floor is displayed on the car-side number display unit 30. In step B <b> 6, when the increase button 32 or the decrease button 33 is pressed, the control panel 23 generates a list of the number of people by floor and displays the list of waiting numbers on the hall-side number display unit 20. The attendant knows the situation after the change of the floor where the number of people has changed.

  In step B7 in which the attendant gets on the car 10 and moves, the control panel 23 determines whether or not it has landed on a rescue floor different from the evacuation floor. When the car 10 lands on any floor displayed as evacuees waiting on the car-side number display unit 30, the YES route is passed, and in step B <b> 8, the control panel 23 displays the car-side number display unit 30. Reset the number of evacuees on the floor you landed. In step B9, the control panel 23 also resets the number of evacuees on the floor on the landing floor number display unit 20 on the first floor.

  Further, in step B10, when the floor button of the car side number display unit 30 is pressed by the attendant, the control panel 23 passes through the YES route, and in step B11, the number information registered in the car side number display unit 30 is displayed. Update.

  FIG. 10 is a view showing a display example of the car-side number display unit 30. The control panel 23 also displays the display contents of the car-side number display unit 30 on the hall-side number display unit 20. In the situation where evacuees are waiting on the 2nd and 9th floors, there are 9 people on the 4th floor, so the attendant pushes the 4th floor with the intention of going to the 4th floor first. When the control panel 23 detects the depression of the fourth floor, it sends a notification to the car control device 31 of the car 10. The car control device 31 inverts the fourth floor portion of the car-side number display unit 30. While the car 10 is moving, the control panel 23 constantly updates the relationship between the stop floor and the number of evacuees in the RAM table. The control panel 23 distributes the updated display information as display information to the car-side number display unit 30, the input / output panels 27 from the second floor to the Nth floor, and the landing-side number display section 20 on the first floor. ing. In this way, the exact number of evacuees is transmitted to the car 10 even in dedicated driving.

  Thereafter, the control panel 23 moves the car 10 to the fourth floor and opens it. The attendant introduces the evacuees into the car 10. The car 10 returns to the first floor, and the evacuees move outside the building. The attendant searches the floor with the next highest priority on the car-side number display unit 30 and determines the destination floor.

  As described above, during dedicated driving on each floor, even if the number of evacuees is changed, the display contents are transmitted to the attendant, so that efficient dispatch can be performed. When the number of people is entered at the time of evacuation, for example, several patients and residents go down from the 3rd floor to the 1st floor on the stairs, or to the lower floor where passengers waiting at the 6th floor landing can get off the stairs A moving case is assumed. The number of people may increase or decrease on all floors. Since the attendant examines the priority order of the destination floor to be rescued on the first floor and then gets on the car 10, it can cope with the fluctuation of the number of people.

  In the conventional example, while the car is in the car, the attendant cannot grasp the number of waiting customers for each floor, and as a result, the car may go to the floor with the smaller number of waiting customers first. On the other hand, in the elevator according to the embodiment, an attendant who gets on the floor is given priority. Even if the number of people who evacuate later increases, the number of waiting customers can be grasped appropriately. When the car 10 is rescued and reaches the rescue floor and opens the door, it is possible to avoid a situation where a person cannot get over. When manually deciding the destination floor, the attendant can get information that it should not be opened from the beginning. Within a limited time, the car can be dispatched first from the landing with a larger number of waiting passengers. Efficient evacuation guidance can be performed.

A control panel 37 for sending and receiving data, an input / output panel 43 for entering the number of evacuees during dedicated operation, and an elevator on the evacuation floor A hall-side number display unit 44 that displays a list of the number of people for each stop floor that is provided for several minutes and is input to the input / output panel 43, and a car side that is provided in each car 10 and also displays a list of the number of people for each stop floor. A number display unit 45 is provided.

  The display contents of each input / output panel 43 during normal operation and dedicated operation are the same as in the example of FIG. In the present embodiment, the input / output panel 43 and the hall-side number display unit 44 share a DCS input and display touch panel.

  FIG. 12A is a diagram illustrating a display example of the hall-side number display unit 44. The hall-side number display section 44 has a display area 46 and an input numeric keypad 47. FIG. 12B is a diagram showing a display example of the car-side number display unit 45. The car-side number display unit 45 has a display area 48.

  In addition, the control panel 37 includes a group management control unit 38 that assigns a vehicle allocation based on operation information from each operation control unit 13, a switching control unit 16, a collection unit 19, and a display control unit 34.

  While the elevator 35 having such a configuration is performing a normal operation, the group management control unit 38 causes the user to register the destination floor in advance before boarding. The user presses the destination floor using the input numeric keypad 18 of the input / output panel 43 at each hall from the second floor to the Nth floor. At the landing on the first floor, the user pushes the destination floor using the hall-side number display section 44. The group management control unit 33 assigns one of the plurality of cars 10 according to the destination floor of each user.

  Focusing on the DCS function, in the elevator 35, for example, when a user on the first floor wants to go to the ninth floor, the user inputs to this device and registers the ninth floor on the first floor before boarding. Then, the group management control unit 38 displays the number of the car 10 that can reach the 9th floor earliest on the panel device. When the user gets into the car 10 of the car displayed on the first floor, the user arrives on the ninth floor earliest. There is no need for the user to operate inside the car 10. The elevator 35 is operated in such a way that it is not possible to board another customer who goes to another floor in the same car 10.

  During normal operation, when a fire signal is input from the fire monitoring device 15, the control panel 37 executes fire control operation. Thereafter, the attendant in the hospital or care facility switches the switch unit 14 so that the control panel 37 switches the elevator operation to a dedicated operation. Once the elevator operation is changed to an exclusive operation for evacuation, the control panel 37 operates in the manual mode and operates all the plurality of units as a single unit. The control panel 37 raises and lowers each car 10 independently in each hoistway. The example in which the elevator 35 makes the plurality of units independent from each other and performs the dedicated operation is the same as the operation example of the elevator 1 of the first embodiment.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a display example of the hall-side number display section 44 during exclusive driving. The car-side number display unit 45 also displays a list of the number of people by floor that is the same as the display content of the hall-side number display unit 44. The attendant selects an appropriate car 10 from the plurality of cars 10. Further, the hall-side number display unit 44 and the car-side number display unit 45 both reflect the increase or decrease in the number of people. When the attendant presses the floor button of the car-side number display unit 45, the control panel 37 updates the number of persons by floor.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a display example of the car-side number display unit 45. When the floor number pressed by the control panel 37 attendant is detected, the corresponding portion of the car-side number display unit 45 is reversed. In the dedicated operation, the accurate number of evacuees for one car 10 is transmitted to the attendant. The same applies to the plurality of cars 10.

  In the present embodiment, one attendant may operate the four cars 10 together. Alternatively, the dedicated operation of the elevator 35 may be operated in a situation where a plurality of attendants are arranged. “Multiple persons” means that an attendant is arranged for each unit and each attendant operates the plurality of units, or two attendants share and operate the plurality of units. The elevator 35 transmits the number-of-floor number information to each attendant. The display of each hall-side number display unit 44 or car-side number display unit 45 assists the determination of the destination floor of each car 10 by one or more attendants. Information on which floor to go to is communicated to the attendant. A famous attendant rides four cars 10 and rescues the evacuated passengers on each floor. Alternatively, two attendants monitor the hall-side number display unit 44 and the car-side number display unit 45 on the first floor, and take one of the cars 10 toward the rescue floor while changing.

  According to the elevator according to this embodiment of the present invention, the input / output panel 43 provided in advance at each hall of the building is directly used as the display unit 17, the input numeric keypad 18, and the hall side display unit 44 for the DCS function service. Can be used.

  The display unit 17 and the input numeric keypad 18 are formed integrally with a touch panel, and the hall-side number display unit 44 uses a touch panel. The display information and the input screen can be displayed only by replacing the touch panel with software used for the touch panel. It can be changed.

(Other)
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. In the above embodiment, the fire monitoring device 15 detects the occurrence of a fire, but the elevator according to the embodiment may be switched to a dedicated operation according to information from the earthquake observation facilities inside and outside the building. The dedicated operation may be executed in accordance with a procedure determined for each of the blackouts, strong winds, etc. according to the occurrence of a disaster such as a blackout, strong wind, lightning, and flooding.

  In addition, the capacity of the car 10 may be displayed on the input / output panels 27 and 43 on each floor, or the car 10 may be full and the car 10 may be empty. With these displays, it is possible to make the refugee act calmly.

  When the hoistway includes a transparent material, the attendant moving in the car 10 can estimate the number of evacuees at the landing.
