  Hereinafter, an elevator control device and an elevator control method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings according to a preferred embodiment.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an elevator control system including an elevator control device 50 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the elevator control system includes an in-car operation panel 10, a multi-beam door sensor 20, a safety door edge 30, a scale device 40, and an elevator control device 50.

  The in-car operation panel 10 is provided in an elevator car, and mainly has a function as an intercom slave and a function as a car call registration device. Specifically, the car operation panel 10 includes an intercom button 11, a speaker 12, and a destination floor button 13. In addition, although the case where the in-car operation panel 10 is configured to have a function as an interphone slave unit is illustrated here, an interphone slave unit may be separately provided in the cage.

  The intercom button 11 is a button for a passenger in the car to talk to a staff member in an external information center (not shown). That is, when a passenger in the car presses the interphone button 11, an interphone call is generated, and the elevator control device 50 performs connection processing to the interphone master unit in the external information center. Thereby, since the in-car operating panel 10 and the intercom master unit are connected, the passengers in the car can talk with the staff in the external information center.

  The speaker 12 emits sound from the external information center into the car when the in-car operation panel 10 and the intercom master unit are connected, and also sends mosquito sound from the mosquito sound generator 52 described later into the car. To emit.

  The destination floor button 13 is a button for a passenger in the car to input a desired destination floor. That is, when the passenger in the car presses the destination floor button 13 corresponding to the desired destination floor, the car call registration for causing the car to travel to the inputted desired destination floor is performed. Thereby, the passenger in a cage | basket | car can go to a desired destination floor.

  The multi-beam door sensor 20 includes a plurality of light emitting elements and a plurality of light receiving elements, detects passengers passing through the car doorway, and outputs the detection result to the elevator control device 50. Specifically, if a passenger is present at the entrance / exit of the car, the beam from the light emitting element is blocked by the passenger and is not received by the light receiving element. Therefore, when the beam from the light emitting element is not received by the light receiving element, the multi-beam door sensor 20 detects a passenger passing through the car doorway.

  In addition, what is necessary is just to comprise about the installation position of the multi-beam door sensor 20, for example so that it may provide in the side edge part of the entrance / exit of a cage | basket | car. In such a configuration, a plurality of light emitting elements are fixed to one side end portion of the doorway, and a plurality of light receiving elements are fixed to the other side end portion of the doorway.

  The safety door edge 30 operates when a passenger touches the door during the door closing operation of the car, and reverses the car door. Further, the safety door edge 30 outputs an operating state (whether or not it is operating) to the elevator control device 50.

  The scale device 40 detects the load in the car (that is, the load on the car) and outputs the detection result to the elevator control device 50.

  The elevator control device 50 includes a control unit 51 and a mosquito sound generation unit 52. The control unit 51 controls the operation of the entire elevator and monitors the operation state of the elevator to confirm whether the operation state of the elevator is normal or abnormal.

  Further, the control unit 51 outputs, as mischief determination processing, output from at least one of various devices provided in the elevator (here, the car operation panel 10, the multi-beam door sensor 20, the safety door edge 30 and the scale device 40 are illustrated). Based on the result, it is determined whether or not mischief has occurred in the elevator.

  The mosquito sound generator 52 generates a mosquito sound through the speaker 12 of the in-car operation panel 10 by performing a mosquito sound reproduction process when the control unit 51 determines that a mischief has occurred in the elevator. Here, a case where a mosquito sound is generated through the speaker 12 is illustrated, but another speaker other than the speaker 12 is newly provided in the car, and the mosquito sound is generated through the speaker. Also good.

  If a mischief in the elevator occurs in this way, the mosquito sound generator 52 generates a mosquito sound. With this configuration, the child hears an unpleasant mosquito sound once he / she performs a mischief with the elevator, and thus recognizes that he / she will hear the mosquito sound again if he / she performs the next mischief. Therefore, since it is possible to lose the willingness to make a prank next time, it is possible to prevent the child from making a prank and reduce the number of occurrences of the prank in the elevator.

  Next, operation | movement of the elevator control apparatus 50 is demonstrated, referring FIGS. Here, there are various kinds of mischief in the elevator by the child, but here, if the child performs any of the mischiefs (1) to (3) exemplified below, the mischief occurred in the elevator. The case where it is determined and a mosquito sound is generated will be exemplified.

Mischief (1): Even though it is not necessary, the intercom button 11 on the in-car operation panel 10 is pressed to connect to the interphone master. Mischief (2): The destination floor button 13 on the in-car operation panel 10 is depressed. Prank to increase the number of registered calls more than necessary Prank (3): Prank for intentionally operating the safety door edge 30

  First, a series of operation examples (1) of the elevator control device 50 when mischief (1) occurs will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a series of operation examples (1) of the elevator control apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In step S <b> 101, the control unit 51 determines whether or not an intercom call generated when a passenger in the car presses the intercom button 11 is detected. If the control unit 51 determines that an intercom call has been detected (that is, YES), the control unit 51 proceeds to step S102. On the other hand, when it is determined that the intercom call has not been detected (that is, NO), the control unit 51 repeats the process of step S101 again. That is, the control part 51 repeats the process of step S101 until an intercom call is detected.

  In step S102, the control unit 51 determines whether or not the monitored operating state of the elevator is normal. Further, if the control unit 51 determines that the operation state of the elevator is normal (that is, YES), the control unit 51 proceeds to step S103. On the other hand, if the control unit 51 determines that the operation state of the elevator is abnormal (that is, NO), the control unit 51 proceeds to step S107.

  In step S103, the mosquito sound generator 52 generates a mosquito sound through the speaker 12 of the in-car operation panel 10 by performing mosquito sound reproduction processing, and proceeds to step S104.

  Here, usually, intercom calls are often generated when the elevator operating state is abnormal. Therefore, when the intercom call is generated when the elevator operating state is normal, there is a high possibility of mischief. . Therefore, if the operation state of the elevator is normal at the timing when the intercom call is generated, the control unit 51 determines that the mischief (1) has occurred and causes the mosquito sound generation unit 52 to generate the mosquito sound. Command.

  In step S104, the control unit 51 performs a connection process to the intercom master unit, and proceeds to step S105.

  In step S105, the control unit 51 determines whether or not the connection between the in-car operation panel 10 and the intercom master is completed. If the control unit 51 determines that this connection is completed (that is, YES), the control unit 51 proceeds to step S106. On the other hand, if the control unit 51 determines that this connection has not been completed, the control unit 51 returns to step S103 and repeats the processing after step S103. That is, the mosquito sound generating unit 52 continues to generate the mosquito sound through the speaker 12 until the connection between the in-car operation panel 10 and the intercom master unit is completed.

  In step S106, the mosquito sound generator 52 stops generating the mosquito sound by performing the mosquito sound stop process, and ends the series of processes. In addition, although the case where it is set to stop the generation of the mosquito sound when the connection between the in-car operation panel 10 and the intercom master is completed is illustrated here, the present invention is not limited to this, and the generation of the mosquito sound is not limited thereto. The timing for stopping may be set in any way.

  In step S107, the control unit 51 performs the same process as in step S104, and proceeds to step S108. In Step S108, control part 51 performs processing similar to Step S105, and ends a series of processing. As described above, when the intercom call is generated when the operation state of the elevator is abnormal, there is a high possibility that the call is not mischievous, so the mosquito sound generator 52 does not generate the mosquito sound.

  Next, a series of operation examples (2) of the elevator control device 50 when mischief (2) occurs will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a series of operation examples (2) of the elevator control apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In step S201, the control unit 51 determines that the number of call registrations of the car call registration performed by the in-car operation panel 10 (that is, the number of destination floor buttons pressed by the passenger) within a predetermined period of time is set. It is determined whether it is larger than the estimated number of passengers in the car. If the control unit 51 determines that the number of call registrations is greater than the number of passengers (ie, YES), the control unit 51 proceeds to step S202. On the other hand, when determining that the number of call registrations is equal to or less than the number of passengers (that is, NO), the control unit 51 repeats the process of step S201 again. That is, the control part 51 repeats the process of step S201 until the number of call registrations becomes larger than the number of passengers.

  Here, regarding the estimation of the number of passengers in the car by the control unit 51, specifically, based on the preset average weight per person and the car load input from the scale device 40, What is necessary is just to comprise so that a passenger number may be calculated and estimated. The control unit 51 may be configured to estimate the number of passengers in the car based on the detection result by the multi-beam door sensor 20. Moreover, you may comprise so that the passenger number in a cage | basket | car may be estimated combining the detection result by each of the balance apparatus 40 and the multi-beam door sensor 20. FIG.

  In step S202, the mosquito sound generator 52 generates a mosquito sound through the speaker 12 of the in-car operation panel 10 by performing a mosquito sound reproduction process, and proceeds to step S203.

  Here, normally, if the number of call registrations is larger than necessary for the number of passengers in the car, there is a high possibility of being mischievous. Therefore, when the number of call registrations is larger than the number of passengers in the car, the control unit 51 determines that mischief (2) has occurred and causes the mosquito sound generation unit 52 to generate a mosquito sound. Command.

  In step S203, the control unit 51 determines whether or not the car has stopped at a certain floor according to the car call registration and the car has been opened. In addition, when the control unit 51 determines that the opening of the car is completed (that is, YES), the control unit 51 proceeds to step S204. On the other hand, if the control unit 51 determines that the opening of the car has not been completed (that is, NO), the control unit 51 returns to step S202 and repeats the processing after step S202. That is, the mosquito sound generator 52 continues to generate the mosquito sound via the speaker 12 until the car stops at a certain floor according to the car call registration and the car is completely opened.

  In step S204, the mosquito sound generator 52 stops generating the mosquito sound by performing the mosquito sound stop process, and ends the series of processes. Here, the case where the car is stopped at a certain floor according to the car call registration and the generation of the mosquito sound is stopped when the car door is opened is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. The timing for stopping the generation of the mosquito sound may be set in any way.

  Next, a series of operation examples (3) of the elevator control device 50 when mischief (3) occurs will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a series of operation examples (3) of the elevator control apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In step S301, the control unit 51 determines whether or not the operation time during which the safety door edge 30 (SDE) continuously operates is equal to or more than a preset time threshold value. If the control unit 51 determines that the operation time of the safety door edge 30 is equal to or greater than the time threshold (that is, YES), the control unit 51 proceeds to step S302. On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation time of the safety door edge 30 is less than the time threshold (that is, NO), the control unit 51 repeats the process of step S301 again. That is, the control part 51 will repeat the process of step S301 until the operation time of the safety door edge 30 becomes more than a time threshold value.

  In step S302, the mosquito sound generator 52 generates a mosquito sound through the speaker 12 of the in-car operation panel 10 by performing mosquito sound reproduction processing, and proceeds to step S303.

  Here, usually, if the operation time of the safety door edge 30 is longer than necessary, the passenger is intentionally touching and operating, and there is a high possibility of being mischievous. Therefore, by appropriately setting the time threshold value, the control unit 51 determines that the mischief (3) has occurred when the operation time of the safety door edge 30 is longer than necessary, and the mosquito sound generation unit 52 Command to generate mosquito sound.

  In step S303, the control unit 51 determines whether or not the operation of the safety door edge 30 has stopped. If the control unit 51 determines that the operation of the safety door edge 30 has stopped (ie, YES), the control unit 51 proceeds to step S304. On the other hand, if it is determined that the operation of the safety door edge 30 is not stopped (that is, NO), the control unit 51 returns to step S302 and repeats the processing after step S302. That is, the mosquito sound generator 52 continues to generate the mosquito sound via the speaker 12 until the operation of the safety door edge 30 stops.

  In step S304, the mosquito sound generator 52 stops generating the mosquito sound by performing the mosquito sound stop process, and ends the series of processes. Here, the case where the generation of the mosquito sound is set to stop if the operation of the safety door edge 30 is stopped is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. What is the timing for stopping the generation of the mosquito sound? May be set.

  In addition, in this Embodiment 1, you may comprise combining the operation example (1)-(3) of the elevator control apparatus with respect to mischief (1)-(3).

  In the first embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to the three types of pranks (pranks (1) to (3)) exemplified as the types of pranks generated in the elevator is specifically illustrated. It is not limited to this. That is, a specific device is selected in advance according to the type of mischief that occurs in the elevator from the various devices provided in the elevator, and it is determined that mischief has occurred based on the output result from the selected device. If the control unit 51 is configured, the present invention can be applied to any mischief.

  As mentioned above, according to this Embodiment 1, based on the output result from the specific apparatus beforehand selected according to the kind of mischief which generate | occur | produces in an elevator from the various apparatuses provided in an elevator, mischief by an elevator is carried out. A control unit that determines whether or not a mischief has occurred; and a mosquito sound generation unit that generates a mosquito sound via a speaker provided in an elevator car when the control unit determines that a mischief has occurred.

  Specifically, the control unit detects that an interphone call is generated when the elevator is in a normal state and a passenger in the car operates an interphone slave device (specific device). It is determined that it has occurred.

  Further, the control unit estimates the number of passengers in the car, which is the number of passengers in the car, based on the detection result by at least one of the scale device and the multi-beam door sensor (specific device), and the operation panel in the car ( If the number of registered car call registrations performed by a specific device is larger than the estimated number of passengers, it is determined that mischief has occurred.

  Furthermore, the control unit determines that mischief has occurred when the operation time during which the safety door edge (specific device) continuously operates is equal to or greater than a preset time threshold.

  In this way, if a mischief occurs in the elevator, a mosquito sound is generated, so that once the child performs a prank in the elevator, he / she hears an unpleasant mosquito sound. Recognize that you will hear the mosquito again. Therefore, since it is possible to lose the willingness to make a prank next time, it is possible to prevent the child from making a prank and reduce the number of occurrences of the prank in the elevator.
