  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described using the drawings.

  First, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG.

  FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the entrance side in the elevator car 1 of the elevator.

  An operation panel 3 including a destination floor registration device for registering a destination floor of a passenger on the entrance side of the car 1 and viewed from the platform side, and a car door 4 installed on the platform side of the car The elevator has an in-car passenger guidance display device 2 attached to an upper portion of the in-car entrance side and showing a passenger's riding area, and a load sensor 7 for measuring the number of passengers.

  FIG. 2 shows the back side of the car 1.

  The inside of the car 1 is provided with an in-car boarding promotion device 5 attached to the rear upper side in the car inside to promote smooth boarding of passengers.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the in-car boarding promotion device 5 will be described. The in-car boarding promotion device display example 8 in FIG. 4 is a display example of the in-car boarding promotion device 5. The in-car boarding promotion device 5 is installed on the rear side of the car, and focuses on the in-car passenger guidance display device 2 to prevent it from taking a long time to get on and off when the passenger gets in. On the in-car boarding promotion device 5, as shown in the in-car boarding promotion device display example 8 of FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that a message saying "If you come to the upper floor above floor く だ さ い please get in the back" is displayed. The floor indicates the top floor registered on the control panel 3 while passengers are getting on and off. In other words, the floor where the passenger descends from the floor where the passenger got on (this is called the destination floor) displays the farthest floor, and the passenger who goes to the floor farther than that is urged to ride towards the back It is a thing. Also, a message may be displayed to prompt the passenger to get on and off smoothly. Further, the in-car boarding promotion device 5 may perform the same display as the in-car passenger guidance display device 2.

  Next, the guidance area of the in-car passenger guidance display device 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 5.

  FIG. 3 is a view of a car viewed from the ceiling side, and a passenger guidance area which is an area for guiding and getting on passengers by the in-car passenger guidance display device 2, the control panel 3, the car door 4, the in-car boarding promotion device 5. 6a, passenger guidance area 6b, passenger guidance area 6c, passenger guidance area 6d. The passenger guiding area 6a, the passenger guiding area 6c, or the passenger guiding area 6d is an area for guiding a passenger, and the passenger guiding area 6b may be an area generally used as a passage for passing a passenger when getting on and off. In addition, when the inside of a car is crowded (for example, when the number of people of boarding measured with load sensor 7 exceeds a predetermined number of people), it is not this limitation.

  For example, when the elevator is in a rising operation, the in-car passenger guidance display device 2 is, for example, in the guidance area farthest from the entrance for passengers whose upper floor is the destination floor according to an instruction from a control unit described later. Guide to a certain passenger guidance area 6d. In addition, when the destination floor is close to the floor where the user got in, that is, for passengers whose middle floor or lower floor is the destination floor, the in-car passenger guidance display device 2 operates the control panel according to an instruction from a control unit described later. It may be guided to the passenger guidance area 6a located in front of 3 or the passenger guidance area 6c. The passenger guiding area 6b is used as an aisle as described above, but when a passenger of a wheelchair gets on, the in-car passenger guiding display device 2 displays the passenger guiding area 6a according to an instruction from a control unit described later, for example. In order to guide to the passenger guiding area 6c, a passenger whose middle floor or lower floor is the destination floor will be guided to the passenger guiding area 6b. FIG. 5 shows a guidance display example of the in-car passenger guidance display device 2, and FIG. 5 shows a display example 9 of in-car passenger guidance display device which is a display example when the wheelchair user does not get on. In the in-car passenger guidance display device display example 9, the portion displayed as "the fifth floor to the ninth floor" corresponds to the passenger guidance area 6c in FIG. Similarly, the part displayed as "passage" is displayed as passenger guidance area 6b, the part displayed as "10th floor-14th floor" as passenger guidance area 6a, "15th floor-20th floor" Portions corresponding to each correspond to the passenger guiding area 6d. When the passenger guidance area is displayed, the in-car passenger guidance display device 2 indicates the guidance area not by a specific floor but by the floor range as in the in-car passenger guidance display device display example 9. The floor range is surrounded by, for example, a circle. With the display of the floor area and the circle, the guidance area is not clearly divided, so that a large number of passengers can be accommodated when one floor is concentrated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, the response | compatibility at the time of a wheelchair user boarding is demonstrated. FIG. 6 shows a display example 10 of the in-car passenger guidance display device 2 when the wheelchair user rides in the in-car passenger guidance display device 2 in a wheelchair. FIG. 7 shows the elevator hall according to the present embodiment. Figure 2 shows a car call registration device 11 for calling an elevator at a landing, and a wheelchair user car call registration device 12 for a wheelchair user to call an elevator.

  In-car passenger guidance display device In the case of display example 10 at the time of getting on the wheelchair, a portion of the passenger guidance area 6a or the passenger guidance area 6c in FIG. 3 is a guidance position for the "Wheelchair user". The position of the passenger guiding area 6a or the passenger guiding area 6c in FIG. 3 is easy to get on and off because it is close to the entrance. Also, when there is another passenger getting on and off, this location is taken as a guiding position because there is no need to operate to get off the landing once for other passengers. However, it is not an absolute indication that a wheelchair rider guides to this area, but is merely an example of an optimum location in the car. Therefore, if there is another optimum location for the wheelchair user, the user may be guided to a location other than the wheelchair user guidance position described above.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, the movement of the car in the in-car passenger guidance display device 2 on the floor (from rising operation to falling operation) (hereinafter referred to as “end floor”) changes from falling operation to rising operation. Explain.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in step S101, the user calls the elevator by the car call registration device 11 at the end floor (hereinafter referred to as call registration). The elevator car has not arrived at the end floor at this stage. Next, the process proceeds to the wheelchair compatible flow of FIG.

  FIG. 9 shows a flow when a wheelchair user uses an elevator.

  In step S201, for example, a control unit described later determines whether or not there is a car call registration in the wheelchair user car call registration device 12 installed at the landing. When the car call registration device 12 for a wheelchair user has a car call registration, the control unit determines that the wheelchair user gets in. When it is determined that the wheelchair user gets in, the control unit displays an in-car passenger guidance display for guiding the wheelchair user to get in the passenger guidance area 6a in FIG. 3 or the area of the passenger guidance area 6c. It displays on the apparatus 2 (step S202). Also, before the car stops at the floor where the wheelchair user rides and the door opens, the control unit pre-selects the in-car passenger guidance display device 2 or the in-car boarding promotion device 5 in advance at the next stop floor. An indication of getting on the vehicle or voice guidance may alert the wheelchair user to get on the next stop floor.

  Next, returning to FIG. 8, the process proceeds to step S102. In step S102, the car is called in step S101 and stops at the end floor, the car door 4 is opened, and the passenger starts to get on and off, and the passenger registers each destination floor on the operation panel 3 including the destination floor registration device.

  Next, in step S103, while the car door 4 is open, the control unit determines whether the number of passengers is equal to or more than a specified value. The number of passengers is grasped by the load sensor 7 in FIG. The predetermined value 1 may be a small number (for example, about 1 to 3) where the number of passengers does not require guidance. Further, in step S103, the control unit may determine whether the number of registrations of the destination floor of the operation panel 3 is small (about 1 or 2 floors) instead of determining only by the number of passengers. That is, the prescribed value 1 and the prescribed value 2 described later may be values relating to at least one of the number of passengers and the number of registrations of the destination meeting. Further, the prescribed value 1 may be smaller than the prescribed value 2. The control unit continues step S103 until the car door 4 is closed (step S104), and ends the flow of FIG. 8 when the car door 4 is closed.

  In step S105, the control unit determines whether the number of passengers is 2 or more while the car door 4 is open. The number of passengers is grasped by the load sensor 7 in the same manner as in step S103. The prescribed value 2 is preferably the number of passengers (70% or more of the capacity) that can not move in the car. The control unit continues step S105 until the car door 4 is closed (step S106), and ends the flow of FIG. 8 when the car door 4 is closed. Continuing the determination in step S105 until the car door 4 is closed is a stage where passengers are getting on and off until the car door 4 is closed. Therefore, all the destination floors of the passengers are closed until the car door 4 is closed. It is because it can not grasp. Therefore, step S103 and step S105 should be continued until the car door 4 is closed.

  Step S107 is performed when it is determined in step S105 that the number of passengers is 2 or more. In step S107, even if the door is open, the control unit immediately transmits the passenger, the passenger whose destination floor is the upper floor, the passenger whose destination floor is the middle floor, and the destination floor lower floor. To be grouped into passengers. The control unit determines these groups as the guidance destinations of the passenger guiding area 6a to the passenger guiding area 6d.

  Step S108 is performed when the number of passengers is less than the prescribed value 2 in the above-described step S105 and the car door 4 is closed thereafter, that is, when the destination floors of all the passengers are determined. In step S108, as in step S107, the control unit divides the passengers into the passengers whose destination floor is the upper floor, the passengers whose destination floor is the middle floor, and the passengers whose destination floor is the lower floor. The control unit determines these groups as guidance destinations of the respective passenger guidance areas 6a to 6d.

  In step S109, the control unit displays the passenger guidance area 6a to the passenger guidance area 6d determined in steps S107 and S108 on the in-car passenger guidance display device 2. The display is, for example, a display as shown in In-Car Passenger Guidance Display Display Example 9 in FIG. When a wheelchair user gets on the vehicle, the display in step S109 is, for example, a display as shown in FIG. After completing the above steps, the car leaves for the next destination floor.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, the car in the in-car passenger guidance display device 2 will arrive (arrive) at the stop floor, the car door 4 will open, and the movement when the passenger starts to get on and off will be described. Do. As shown in FIG. 10, the steps of the wheelchair compatible flow of FIG. 9 are first performed. The wheelchair compatible flow of FIG. 9 is as described above. Next, in step S301, the control unit determines whether the number of passengers is equal to or greater than the prescribed value 2 before the car door 4 is opened. As described above, it is preferable that the prescribed value 2 be the number of people who can not move in the car (generally 70% or more of the capacity). If the number of passengers is the prescribed value 2 or more, while the car door 4 is open, in step S302, the control unit guides the passenger who additionally rides on the stop floor to ride near the entrance. It is displayed on the in-car passenger guidance display device 2. Further, since the in-car passenger guidance display device 2 is difficult to see in the vicinity of the entrance, it is preferable for the control unit to guide the user to get in the vicinity of the entrance by voice guidance. Thereafter, when the number of passengers drops below the prescribed value 2 while the passengers are getting on and off (step S303: YES), the control unit proceeds to step S108 after the car door 4 is closed in step S306. Similarly, the passengers are grouped into a passenger whose destination floor is the upper floor, a passenger whose destination floor is the middle floor, and a passenger whose destination floor is the lower floor. The control unit determines these groups as guidance destinations of the guidance areas of the passenger guidance area 6a to the passenger guidance area 6d. If the number of passengers does not fall below the specified value 2 even if the door is opened and the passenger gets on and off (step S303: NO), the control unit continues step S302 until the car door 4 is closed. If the number of passengers does not fall below the prescribed value 2 until the car door 4 is closed (step S303: NO and step S304: YES), the control unit places an additional user who gets on the stopped floor near the entrance. Close the car door 4 and leave the car to the next destination floor.

  In step S301, if the number of passengers is not equal to or more than the prescribed value 2 before landing, in step S305, the control unit determines whether the number of people is greater than or equal to the prescribed value during getting on and off. If the number of passengers is the prescribed value 2 or more, the control unit immediately performs the passenger operation and the destination floor is the upper floor, even if the door is open in step S307, as in step S107. Group the passengers, passengers whose destination floor is the middle floor, and passengers whose destination floor is the lower floor. The control unit determines these groups as guidance destinations of the guidance areas of the passenger guidance area 6a to the passenger guidance area 6d. If, in step S305, the number of passengers does not reach 2 or more while getting on and off the passenger, the control unit performs step S306.

  In step S308, the control unit displays the passenger guidance area 6a to the passenger guidance area 6d determined in step S306 and step S307 on the in-car passenger guidance display device 2. The display is, for example, a display as shown in In-Car Passenger Guidance Display Display Example 9 in FIG. When the wheelchair user gets on the vehicle, the display in step S308 is, for example, a display such as the in-car passenger guidance display device wheel chair display example 10 in FIG. After completing the above steps, the car leaves for the next destination floor.

  The instruction of the passenger guidance display to the in-car passenger guidance display device 2 (and the instruction of the display to the in-car passenger promotion device 5) and the like are the control unit in the control room installed in the machine room or the hoistway. Directed by The control unit includes a storage area such as a memory. The installation location of the control unit may be installed anywhere as long as an object capable of processing instruction can be installed.
