  Hereinafter, an embodiment of an elevator apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of an elevator apparatus according to the present embodiment. Reference numeral 1 denotes a car, which is a box-like moving body that moves up and down in a hoistway (not shown) in order to carry passengers to a desired landing 2. 3 is the floor of the car 1, 4 is the ceiling of the car 1, 5 is a car door that passes when passengers get in and out of the car 1, 6 is a sleeper car that carries the car 1, 7 is provided at the landing 2, Indicates a car call button for call registration.

  In addition, a load detection device 8 is provided at the lower part of the floor 3, a lighting fixture 9 is provided at the ceiling 4, an IC tag 10 is provided at the sleeping cart 6, and a signal from the IC tag 10 is provided at the upper part of the entrance / exit on the landing 2 side. A receiver 11 is provided. An IC tag 10 is provided in front of the sleeping cart 6 in the traveling direction. In the present embodiment, the IC tag 10 is used to transmit the presence of the sleeper cart 6 to the elevator apparatus. However, instead of this, other communication means such as an infrared signal transmitter is provided in the sleeper cart 6. Also good.

  In addition, the lighting fixture 9 can use well-known lighting fixtures, such as fluorescent lamp lighting, LED lighting, and organic EL lighting, which can adjust brightness. In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the receiver 11 is provided on each floor where the car 1 stops. However, the receiver 11 may be provided in the car 1.

  FIG. 1B is a functional block diagram of the elevator apparatus according to the present embodiment. As shown here, the signal from the IC tag 10 of the sleeping cart 6 is received by the receiver 11 of the landing 2 where the sleeping cart 6 is located. The signal received here and the signal input from the car call button 7 are input to the control panel 12 via the communication line 13. The control panel 12 includes an input / output device 12a, an internal communication line 12b, a CPU 12c, and a memory 12d. An input signal is recorded in the memory 12d through the input / output device 12a and the internal communication line 12b. The CPU 12c reads data recorded in the memory 12d and performs various controls described later. The car 1 is also provided with an input / output device 1a and an internal communication line 1b, and communicates with the control panel 12 through these. By taking such a configuration, the control panel 12 can appropriately control the opening / closing of the car door 5 and the illuminance of the lighting fixture 9 based on the signal from the IC tag 10.

  In addition, the brightness of the lighting fixture 9 can be adjusted in advance before the car 1 arrives by installing the receiver 11 on each floor.

  FIG. 2 is an operation flowchart of the elevator apparatus according to the present embodiment.

  When the car call button 7 is not registered and the car 1 is in the standby state, the lighting fixture 9 of the car 1 is in a state in which the illuminance is reduced (S001).

  When the car call button 7 of a certain boarding place 2 is operated and registered (S002), the CPU 12c in the control panel 12 has a reception reaction from the IC tag 10 in the receiver 11 of the boarding area 2, that is, a bed. Whether or not the vehicle 6 is present is identified based on the presence or absence of a signal received from the receiver 11 of the landing 2 (S003).

  When there is a reception response in S003 (when there is a sleeping cart 6), the CPU 12 executes the control for the bed (S004 to S008) according to the program read from the memory 12, and when there is no reception response (sleeping cart) 6), normal operation (S009 to S011) is executed according to the program read from the memory 12.

  First, control when there is a sleeper 6 will be described. In this control, illumination change control (S004), which will be described later, car door 5 opening time extension control during boarding (S005), confirmation that the sleeping car 6 has been on the car 1 (S006), arrival at the destination floor ( S007), the car door 5 opening time extension control when getting off (S008) is sequentially performed.

  FIG. 3 is a graph showing the illuminance change pattern in S004 in time series. The above-described control panel 12 adjusts the illuminance of the lighting fixture 9 to the illuminance (for example, 30 to 50% of the normal illuminance) that does not become uncomfortable when boarding by the control of the CPU 12 while the car 1 moves to the calling floor. deep. Thereafter, when the sleeping car 6 gets on, the illuminance is gradually increased to the normal illuminance so that the person who rides the sleeping car 6 does not feel uncomfortable. If there are no other passengers, the lighting device 9 is turned off within a few seconds after getting off, and the car 1 enters a standby state. In addition, although control which raises the illumination intensity of the lighting fixture 9 gradually after boarding the sleeper vehicle 6 was shown in FIG. 3, when the moving distance of the car 1 is short, it is good also as control which maintains the illumination intensity at the time of boarding. This is because if the illuminance is increased to the normal illuminance as shown in FIG. 3 even during a short movement, the illuminance is greatly changed in a short time, and the person riding the sleeper vehicle 6 may feel uncomfortable.

  Next, normal control when there is no sleeper 6 will be described. In this control, the illuminance of the lighting fixture 9 is raised to a normal state (S009), confirmation that the car 1 has been boarded (S010), and the passenger is transported to the destination floor (S011).

  FIG. 4 is a graph showing the illuminance change pattern in the time series in the case of normal control. When the sleeper vehicle 6 is not carried, the illuminance is set to a normal state so as not to cause discomfort to the passengers, and the illuminance is decreased within a few seconds after getting off.

  According to the elevator apparatus of the present embodiment described above, the illuminance control of the luminaire is made different between when the sleeper gets on and when the sleeper does not get on. It is possible to provide an elevator apparatus that does not have any.
