When operated, the response to the hall call by operating the hall call button is postponed until the pet companion gets off.

<Operation of the elevator according to the first embodiment>
Next, an example of operation | movement of the elevator 10 by this embodiment is demonstrated with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 3 shows processing executed by the elevator control device 14 during operation of the elevator 10. In the present embodiment, the driving status information acquisition unit 144 acquires operating status information of devices in the elevator 10, such as the hoisting machine 11, at predetermined time intervals.

  First, when a call is not registered in the call registration unit 143 of the elevator control device 14 (S1), when an upward landing call button 131-1a is operated by a pet companion at the first floor hall 13-1. The operation information is acquired from the hall operation information acquisition unit 141, and the corresponding hall call is registered in the call registration unit 143 (S2). Then, based on the registered hall call, the operation control unit 146 causes the car 12 to land on the first floor hall 13-1 and be opened (S3).

  Here, when a pet companion gets into the car 12 opened at the first floor hall 13-1, the boarding of the pet companion to the car 12 is detected by the multi-optical axis sensor 122 of the car door 121. Specifically, when the number of the optical axes of the multi-optical axis sensor 122 is continuously measured and the optical axis is interrupted for a predetermined time at a predetermined position so as to correspond to a preset pattern, It is detected that the animal has passed. And the person who got on with the said animal is detected as a pet companion. Further, when a pet companion gets into the car 12 that has been opened, it is determined that the pet companion has entered the car 12 by the analysis processing of the imaging information in the monitoring camera device 124.

  When the multi-optical axis sensor 122 detects that a pet companion has entered the car 12, and the surveillance camera device 124 determines that the pet companion has boarded, the pet companion boarding determination unit 145 determines that the pet companion has entered the car 12. A pet companion boarding flag indicating that the car 12 is in the car is turned on ("YES" in S4).

  Next, when the fifth floor designation button 123-5 is operated on the operation panel 123 in the car by the pet companion who has entered the car 12, the operation information for designating the fifth floor as the destination floor is the operation information acquisition unit 142 in the car. The corresponding car call is registered in the call registration unit 143 (S5). Based on the registered car call, the operation control unit 146 closes the car 12 and starts moving to the fifth floor hall 13-5 (S6).

  After the car 12 departs from the first floor hall 13-1 toward the fifth floor hall 13-5 and before passing through the third floor hall 13-3, When the upward hall call button 131-3a is operated together with the pet unoccupied button 131-3b by a "user who wants to avoid riding together" (hereinafter referred to as a "pet unoccupied user"), the operation information Is acquired from the hall operation information acquisition unit 141, and the corresponding hall call is registered in the call registration unit 143 (S7). The pet boarding impossibility button 131-3b and the hall call button 131-3a are the hall call buttons 131- if the other button is operated within a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) after one of the buttons is operated. It is determined that 3a has been operated together with the pet non-riding button 131-3b.

  At this time, since the pet companion boarding flag is in the ON state, it is determined by the operation control unit 146 that the response to the hall call operated together with the pet unoccupied button 131-3b is postponed, and the response process is suspended. To be. Then, the car 12 passes through the third floor hall 13-3, is landed on the fifth floor hall 13-5, and is opened (S8). If the pet companion gets off the car 12 when the car 12 is opened, the multi-optical axis sensor 122 detects the pet companion getting off from the car 12, and the surveillance camera device 124 detects the pet. It is determined that the accompanying person has got off the vehicle.

  When the multi-optical axis sensor 122 detects that the pet companion gets off the car 12, and the surveillance camera device 124 determines that the pet companion has got off, the pet companion boarding determination unit 145 is in the process of boarding the pet companion. The flag is turned off (S9).

  When the pet companion boarding flag is turned off, the operation control unit 146 responds to the hall call that designates the upward direction from the third floor, where the response is suspended, and the car 12 is closed and 3 It is landed on the floor hall 13-3 and opened (S10). This response process is executed with priority over other registered calls.

  Next, when the fifth floor designation button 123-5 is operated on the operation panel 123 in the car by a user who cannot enter the car 12 in the car 12, operation information for designating the fifth floor as the destination floor is acquired in the car operation information. The car call is acquired by the unit 142 and the corresponding car call is registered in the call registration unit 143 (S11). Then, based on the registered car call, the operation control unit 146 closes the car 12 and moves it to the fifth floor hall 13-5 (S12). When the car 12 is landed on the fifth floor, the door is opened, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the door is closed and a standby state is entered (S13).

  In step S4 described above, if the pet companion does not get on and the pet companion on board flag is not turned on ("NO" in S4), the fifth floor is designated as the destination floor by the general user who has boarded the car. When the operation is performed, the operation information is acquired by the in-car operation information acquisition unit 142, and the corresponding car call is registered in the call registration unit 143 (S14). Then, based on the registered car call, the operation control unit 146 closes the car 12 and starts moving to the fifth floor hall 13-5 (S15).

  After the car 12 departs upward from the 1st floor hall 13-1 to the 5th floor hall 13-5 and before passing through the 3rd floor hall 13-3, no pets are allowed on the 3rd floor hall 13-3 When the user operates an upward hall call button 131-3a and a pet unoccupied button 131-3b, the operation information is acquired from the hall operation information acquisition unit 141, and the corresponding hall call is called the call registration unit 143. (S16).

  At this time, since the pet companion boarding flag is in an OFF state, the operation control unit 146 executes a response process even for a hall call operated together with the pet unoccupied button 131-3b. It is landed on the 3rd floor hall 13-3 and opened (S17).

  When a user who cannot travel with pets enters the car 12 opened at the third floor hall 13-3, the operation control unit 146 performs control for closing the car 12 and moving it to the fifth floor hall 13-5. (S18). When the car 12 is landed on the 5th floor, the door is opened, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the door is closed and a standby state is entered (S19).

  According to the first embodiment described above, the boarding of the pet companion is automatically detected on the elevator side, and during the boarding of the pet companion, a response to the hall call operated by the user who wants to avoid riding with the pet is made. By deferring, it is possible to reliably avoid riding with a “pet companion” and “a user who wants to avoid riding with a pet”.
