Indicator lights 313 (313a, 313b, 313c, . When a user intending to call a predetermined destination floor puts a finger or the like over the corresponding sensor unit 311 or presses the corresponding push button 312, the indicator lamp 313 corresponding to the destination floor emits light in a predetermined manner. do.

The object detection unit 31 includes timing units 31a and 31b, and when one of the sensor units 311 detects an object such as a user's finger, the destination floor is called based on the result of counting (clocking) by the timing units 31a and 31b. Determine whether or not there was

When any sensor unit 311 detects an object such as a user's finger, the timer 31a as a first timer starts counting the detection time of the object. While the sensor unit 311 continues to detect the object, the clock unit 31a continues counting the detection time until the detection time reaches a predetermined time. The clock unit 31a also ends counting the object detection time when the sensor unit 311 stops detecting the object before the detection time reaches the predetermined time.

The timing unit 31b as the second timing unit detects an object, and when the sensor unit 311 detects no object after the sensor unit 311 detects an object, the sensor unit 311 stops detecting the object. start counting non-detection time. If any sensor unit 311 does not newly detect an object such as a user's finger, the clock unit 31b continues counting until the non-detection time reaches a predetermined time. If any sensor unit 311 newly detects an object such as a finger of the user before the non-detection time reaches a predetermined time, the timer 31b ends counting the non-detection time.

When the time measuring unit 31a finishes counting the detection time before the detection time counted by the time measuring unit 31a for any of the sensor units 311 reaches a predetermined time as the first time, It is determined that there is no call to the destination floor corresponding to the sensor unit 311 .

After the detection time counted by the clocking unit 31a for any sensor unit 311 reaches a predetermined time as the first time, the object detection unit 31 detects the non-detection time counted by the clocking unit 31b for the sensor unit 311. If another sensor unit 311 does not detect an object by the time the predetermined time as the second time is reached, it is determined that there is a call to the destination floor corresponding to the sensor unit 311 that has detected the object.

After the detection time counted by the clocking unit 31a for any sensor unit 311 reaches a predetermined time as the first time, the object detection unit 31 detects the non-detection time counted by the clocking unit 31b for the sensor unit 311. If another sensor unit 311 detects an object before reaching the predetermined time as the second time, it is determined that there is no call to the destination floor corresponding to the sensor unit 311 that first detected the object. do. Then, after the detection time for the sensor unit 311 that has detected the object next reaches the predetermined time as the first time, the non-detection time counted by the clock unit 31b for that sensor unit 311 is used as the second time. If another sensor unit 311 does not detect an object until the predetermined time is reached, the object detection unit 31 assumes that the destination floor corresponding to the sensor unit 311 that detected the object second has been called. judge.

That is, when a plurality of sensor units 311 each detect an object, the object detection unit 31 determines whether the detection time of the sensor unit 311 that last detected the object has reached a predetermined time. It is determined whether or not there is a call to the destination floor corresponding to .

It should be noted that the predetermined time as the first time used by the object detection unit 31 to determine whether or not there is a destination floor call is the second time, considering the user's operation to select the desired destination floor. The length is preferably equal to or shorter than the predetermined time as the second time, and more preferably half the length of the predetermined time as the second time.

The press detection unit 32 includes timers 32a and 32b, and when one of the push buttons 312 is pressed by the user, it determines whether or not there is a destination floor call based on the results counted by the timers 32a and 32b. do.

When any of the push buttons 312 is pressed by the user, the time measuring unit 32a as a third time measuring unit starts counting the pressing time of the push button 312. FIG. While the push button 312 continues to be pressed, the clock unit 32a continues counting the pressing time until the pressing time reaches a predetermined time. The timer 32a also ends counting the pressing time of the push button 312 when the pressing of the push button 312 is stopped before the pressing time reaches the predetermined time.

A timing unit 32b serving as a fourth timing unit is configured to, when any of the push buttons 312 is pressed and then released from being pressed, keeps the button 312 from being pressed after the button 312 is released. Start counting time. Unless any push button 312 is newly pressed, the timer 32b continues counting until the non-press time reaches a predetermined time. When any of the push buttons 312 is newly pressed before the non-pressing time reaches a predetermined time, the timer 32b ends counting the non-pressing time.

If the pressing detection unit 32 finishes counting the pressing time before the pressing time counted by the timer 32a for any of the push buttons 312 reaches the predetermined time as the third time, It is determined that there was no call to the destination floor corresponding to the push button 312 .

After the pressed time counted by the timer 32a for any of the push buttons 312 reaches a predetermined time as the third time, the press detection unit 32 detects the non-pressed time counted by the timer 32b for that push button 312. If another push button 312 is not pressed before the predetermined time as the fourth time is reached, it is determined that there is a call to the destination floor corresponding to the pressed push button 312 .

After the pressed time counted by the timer 32a for any of the push buttons 312 reaches a predetermined time as the third time, the press detection unit 32 detects the non-pressed time counted by the timer 32b for that push button 312. If another push button 312 is pressed before reaching the predetermined time as the fourth time, it is determined that there is no call to the destination floor corresponding to the first pressed push button 312 . After the pressing time of the next pressed push button 312 reaches the predetermined time as the third time, the non-pressing time counted by the timer 32b for the push button 312 is the predetermined fourth time. If another push button 312 is not pushed before the time is reached, the push detection unit 32 determines that there is a call to the destination floor corresponding to the push button 312 pushed second.

In other words, when a plurality of push buttons 312 are individually pressed, the press detection unit 32 detects whether or not the pressing time of the last pressed push button 312 has reached a predetermined time. It is determined whether or not there is a call to the destination floor.

Note that the predetermined time as the third time used by the press detection unit 32 to determine whether or not there is a call for the destination floor is equal to or less than the predetermined time as the fourth time, as in the case of the object detection unit 31. It is preferable that the predetermined time as the third time is, for example, half the length of the predetermined time as the fourth time.

Based on the determination results of the object detection unit 31 and the press detection unit 32, the light emission control unit 33 causes the predetermined indicator lamp 313 to emit light in a predetermined manner.

When any sensor unit 311 detects an object such as a user's finger, the light emission control unit 33 dimly lights the indicator lamp 313 corresponding to the destination floor of the sensor unit 311 in the first mode. . The light emission control unit 33 causes the indicator lamp 313 to dimly light until the object detection unit 31 determines whether or not the sensor unit 311 has received a destination floor call.

Also when any of the push buttons 312 is pressed by the user, the light emission control unit 33 dimly lights the indicator lamp 313 corresponding to the destination floor of the push button 312 . The light emission control unit 33 keeps the indicator lamp 313 dimly lit until the depression detection unit 32 determines whether or not the push button 312 is called for the destination floor.

When the object detection unit 31 or the press detection unit 32 determines that there is no call to the predetermined destination floor, the light emission control unit 33 extinguishes the indicator lamp 313 which has been dimly lit.

When the object detection unit 31 or the press detection unit 32 determines that there is a call to the predetermined destination floor, the light emission control unit 33 causes the indicator lamp 313, which has been dimly lit, to turn on in the second mode. Bright lighting is performed as the light emission mode. When the car 1 arrives at the floor where the destination floor call is made and the response to the call is completed, the light emission control unit 33 extinguishes the indicator lamp 313 which has been illuminated brightly.

A state in which a predetermined indicator lamp 313 is dimly lit may be called a temporary registration state of a call to a destination floor corresponding to the indicator lamp 313 . In addition, the state in which a predetermined indicator lamp 313 is lit brightly is sometimes referred to as the official registration state of the call to the destination floor corresponding to the indicator lamp 313 .

When the object detection unit 31 or the press detection unit 32 determines that there is a call to a predetermined destination floor, the notification unit 34 transmits the information of the destination floor call to the control panel via the relay box 20. Send to 10.

In addition to the push buttons 312 corresponding to the plurality of destination floors of the car 1, the destination floor call device 30 may include push buttons for opening and closing the door of the car 1, for example.

(Processing example of elevator control system)
Next, an example of elevator control processing of the elevator control system 100 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. FIG. 4 to 6 are flow charts showing an example of procedures of elevator control processing by the elevator control system 100 according to the first embodiment. A processing example of the elevator control system 100 will be described below, focusing on a processing example of the destination floor call device 30. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, the object detection unit 31 of the destination floor call device 30 determines whether or not any sensor unit 311 has detected an operation on the corresponding destination floor display unit 310 (step S101). . If any sensor unit 311 is in the non-detection state (step S101: No), the object detection unit 31 waits until any sensor unit 311 is in the detection state.

For example, when the predetermined sensor unit 311 detects an operation on the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor A (step S101: Yes), the light emission control unit 33 dims the corresponding indicator lamp 313. (Step S102). In addition, the clock unit 31a of the object detection unit 31 starts counting detection time for the sensor unit 311 corresponding to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor A (step S103).

The object detection unit 31 determines whether or not the sensor unit 311 to be counted has become non-detected (step S104). While the sensor unit 311 to be counted maintains the detection state (step S104: No), the object detection unit 31 waits until the sensor unit 311 to be counted becomes non-detection state.

When the sensor unit 311 to be counted is in the non-detection state (step S104: Yes), the object detection unit 31 detects that the detection time counted by the clock unit 31a reaches a predetermined time as the first time, for example, 100 ms. It is determined whether or not (step S105).

If the detection time has not reached, for example, 100 ms (step S105: No), the object detection unit 31 determines that the destination floor A has not been called, and the timer 31a finishes counting the detection time (step S106). . Further, the light emission control unit 33 extinguishes the indicator lamp 313 that is dimly lit (step S107).

The above processing from steps S101 to S107 is processing (pattern 1) for canceling a call to destination floor A that has been temporarily registered.

On the other hand, if the detection time has reached, for example, 100 ms (step S105: Yes), the processing after step S111 is started. That is, the timer 31a finishes counting the detection time (step S111).

In addition, the clock unit 31b of the object detection unit 31 starts counting the non-detection time for the sensor unit 311 corresponding to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor A (step S112). The object detection unit 31 determines whether or not the non-detection time counted by the timer 31b has reached a predetermined time, for example, 200 ms, which is the second time (step S113). Until the non-detection time reaches, for example, 200 ms (step S113: No), the object detection unit 31 detects whether any other sensor unit 311 has detected an operation on the corresponding destination floor display unit 310. is determined (step S118). If any sensor unit 311 is in the non-detection state (step S118: No), the object detection unit 31 waits until the non-detection time reaches, for example, 200 ms.

When the non-detection time reaches, for example, 200 ms (step S113: Yes), the object detection unit 31 determines that there is a call to the destination floor A, and the timer 31b finishes counting the non-detection time (step S114). Further, the light emission control unit 33 brightly lights the indicator lamp 313 which is dimly lit (step S115).

The notification unit 34 transmits the call information for the destination floor A to the control panel 10 via the junction box 20 (step S116). When the communication unit 12 of the control panel 10 receives the call information for the destination floor A, the control unit 11 registers the call for the destination floor A (step S117). After that, the control unit 11 controls the driving device 2 based on the call registration to run the car 1 to the destination floor A.

The above processes of steps S101 to S105 and S111 to S117 are the process (pattern 2) of confirming the call to the destination floor A, which was in the provisionally registered state, and making it into the permanent registration state.

On the other hand, before the non-detection time reaches, for example, 200 ms (step S113: No), for example, when the predetermined sensor unit 311 detects an operation to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying destination floor B (step S118 : Yes), the object detection unit 31 determines that the destination floor A has not been called, and the clock unit 31b finishes counting the non-detection time (step S119). After that, the processing shown in FIG. 5 is started.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the call to the destination floor A is canceled and the clock unit 31b finishes counting the non-detection time, the light emission control unit 33 responds to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor A, The indicator lamp 313 that is dimly lit is extinguished (step S121).

Further, for example, when the predetermined sensor unit 311 detects an operation to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor B, the light emission control unit 33 dims the corresponding indicator light 313 (step S121). ). The timing unit 31a of the object detection unit 31 starts counting detection time for the sensor unit 311 corresponding to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor B (step S122).

While the sensor unit 311 to be counted maintains the detection state (step S123: No), the object detection unit 31 waits until the sensor unit 311 to be counted becomes a non-detecting state, and the sensor unit 311 to be counted becomes a non-detection state (step S123: Yes), it is determined whether or not the detection time counted by the timer 31a has reached a predetermined time as the first time, for example 100 ms (step S124).

If the detection time has not reached, for example, 100 ms (step S124: No), the object detection unit 31 determines that the destination floor B has not been called, and the clock unit 31a finishes counting the detection time (step S125). . Further, the light emission control unit 33 extinguishes the indicator lamp 313 that is dimly lit (step S126).

On the other hand, if the detection time has reached, for example, 100 ms (step S124: Yes), the processing after step S131 is started. That is, the timer 31a finishes counting the detection time (step S131).

Further, the clock unit 31b starts counting the non-detection time for the sensor unit 311 corresponding to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor B (step S132). Until the non-detection time counted by the timer 31b reaches a predetermined time as the second time, for example, 200 ms (step S133: No), the object detection unit 31 does not detect any of the other sensor units 311. If it is in the non-detection state (step S138: No), it waits until the non-detection time reaches, for example, 200 ms.

When the non-detection time reaches, for example, 200 ms (step S133: Yes), the object detection unit 31 determines that there is a call to the destination floor B, and the timer 31b ends counting the non-detection time (step S134). Further, the light emission control unit 33 brightly lights the indicator lamp 313 which is dimly lit (step S135).

The notification unit 34 transmits the call information for the destination floor B to the control panel 10 via the relay box 20 (step S136). When the communication unit 12 of the control panel 10 receives the call information for the destination floor B, the control unit 11 registers the call for the destination floor B (step S137). After that, the control unit 11 controls the driving device 2 based on the call registration to run the car 1 to the destination floor B.

On the other hand, before the non-detection time reaches, for example, 200 ms (step S133: No), for example, when the predetermined sensor unit 311 detects an operation to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor C (step S138 : Yes), the object detection unit 31 determines that the destination floor B has not been called, and the clock unit 31b finishes counting the non-detection time (step S139). After that, the processing shown in FIG. 6 is started.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the call to the destination floor B is canceled and the clock unit 31b finishes counting the non-detection time, the light emission control unit 33 responds to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor B, The indicator lamp 313, which is dimly lit, is extinguished (step S141).

Further, for example, when the predetermined sensor unit 311 detects an operation to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor C, the light emission control unit 33 dims the corresponding indicator light 313 (step S141). ). The clock unit 31a of the object detection unit 31 starts counting detection time for the sensor unit 311 corresponding to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor C (step S142).

While the sensor unit 311 to be counted maintains the detection state (step S143: No), the object detection unit 31 waits until the sensor unit 311 to be counted becomes a non-detecting state, and the sensor unit 311 to be counted becomes a non-detection state (step S143: Yes), it is determined whether or not the detection time counted by the timer 31a has reached a predetermined time, for example, 100 ms, which is the first time (step S144).

If the detection time has not reached, for example, 100 ms (step S144: No), the object detection unit 31 determines that the destination floor C has not been called, and the timer 31a finishes counting the detection time (step S145). . Further, the light emission control unit 33 extinguishes the indicator lamp 313 that is dimly lit (step S146).

As described above, steps S118-S119 in FIG. 4, steps S121-S124, S131-S133, S138-S139 in FIG. 5, and steps S141-S146 in FIG. Furthermore, after the detection target of the sensor unit 311 has moved to the destination floor C, the call to the destination floor C that has been temporarily registered is canceled (pattern 3).

On the other hand, if the detection time has reached, for example, 100 ms (step S144: Yes), the processing after step S151 is started. That is, the timer 31a finishes counting the detection time (step S151).

Further, the clock unit 31b starts counting the non-detection time for the sensor unit 311 corresponding to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor C (step S152). Until the non-detection time counted by the timer 31b reaches a predetermined time as the second time, for example, 200 ms (step S153: No), the object detection unit 31 does not detect any of the other sensor units 311. If it is in the non-detection state, it waits until the non-detection time reaches, for example, 200 ms.

When the non-detection time reaches, for example, 200 ms (step S153: Yes), the object detection unit 31 determines that there is a call to the destination floor C, and the timer 31b ends counting the non-detection time (step S154). Further, the light emission control unit 33 brightly lights the indicator lamp 313 which is dimly lit (step S155).

The notification unit 34 transmits the call information for the destination floor C to the control panel 10 via the relay box 20 (step S156). When the communication unit 12 of the control panel 10 receives the call information for the destination floor C, the control unit 11 registers the call for the destination floor C (step S157). In addition, the control unit 11 controls the driving device 2 based on the call registration to cause the car 1 to travel to the destination floor C.

As described above, steps S118-S119 in FIG. 4, steps S121-S124, S131-S133, S138-S139 in FIG. 5, and steps S141-S144, S151-S157 in FIG. After the detection target of the sensor unit 311 moves to the floor B and further to the destination floor C, the call to the destination floor C, which has been in the provisionally registered state, is confirmed to be in the officially registered state (Pattern 4). is.

Thus, the elevator control processing by the elevator control system 100 of the first embodiment is completed.

As described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, when the plurality of sensor units 311 detect operations on the plurality of destination floor display units 310, the destination floor call device 30 performs the processing shown in FIG. 5 and the processing shown in FIG. sequentially. During the processing of step S153 in FIG. 6, if another sensor unit 311 detects an operation on the corresponding destination floor display unit 310, the same processing is further repeated.

In this way, when a plurality of sensor units 311 detect operations on a plurality of destination floor display units 310, destination floor display unit 310 detects timing units 31a and 31b for sensor unit 311 whose operation was detected last. Based on the count result, it is determined whether or not there is a call to the destination floor corresponding to the sensor unit 311 .

Also, when a plurality of sensor units 311 detect operations on a plurality of destination floor display units 310 in parallel, the clock units 31a and 31b can prioritize the counting of the sensor unit 311 that responds more strongly, for example. preferable. Further, when the indicator lamp 313 is dimly lit, the light emission control unit 33, for example, gives priority to the indicator lamp 313 corresponding to the sensor unit 311 that reacted more strongly, and limits the number of indicator lamps 313 to be lit at one time to only one. is preferred. The intensity of the reaction of the sensor unit 311 can be determined by, for example, the intensity of the reflected light received by the sensor unit 311, the amount of change in capacitance detected by the sensor unit 311, or the like.

Even when the user presses the push button 312, the same processing is performed as when the user touches the sensor unit 311 with a finger or the like. That is, when an operation of pressing the push button 312 is performed, the pressing detection unit 32 performs the processing performed by the object detection unit 31 in the processing of FIGS. , 31b are performed by the timers 32a and 32b of the press detection unit 32, respectively. Other processing of the elevator control system 100 is performed in the same manner as the processing of FIGS. 4-6 described above.

(Overview)
In recent years, due to the spread of infectious diseases such as the novel coronavirus, there has been an increasing demand for non-contact operation of elevators. However, when non-contact sensors, etc., are introduced into the control panel, etc., in the car, the sensors, etc., that are close to the sensor to be operated will detect the user's finger, etc. Registration may occur. Moreover, it may be difficult for the user to understand which sensor is detecting the user's operation.

According to the elevator control system 100 of the first embodiment, the sensor unit 311 determines which destination after the predetermined time has elapsed since the sensor unit 311 detected an operation on the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor A. When the non-detection time reaches a predetermined time without detecting any operation on the floor display unit 310, the control unit 11 registers the destination floor A where the operation was performed. In this way, the call registration is performed after confirming for a predetermined time that the operation on the predetermined destination floor display unit 310 is maintained for a predetermined time and that none of the destination floor display units 310 is operated thereafter. , erroneous registration not intended by the user can be suppressed.

According to the elevator control system 100 of Embodiment 1, when the sensor unit 311 detects an operation on the destination floor display unit 310 that displays the destination floor A, the light emission control unit 33 causes the destination floor display unit 310 operated to display The corresponding indicator light 313 is dimly lit. This makes it possible to visualize what kind of call registration is about to be made.

According to the elevator control system 100 of the first embodiment, the control unit 11 registers the destination floor call of the operated destination floor A, and the light emission control unit 33 displays the destination floor display unit displaying the destination floor A. The indicator lamp 313 corresponding to 310 is lit brightly. This allows the user to know which destination floor the call has been registered for.

According to the elevator control system 100 of the first embodiment, if the sensor unit 311 stops detecting the operation to the destination floor display unit 310 displaying the destination floor A before the detection time reaches the predetermined time, the control The unit 11 does not register the destination floor call for the destination floor A. In this way, when the detection time of the operation on the predetermined destination floor display unit 310 is less than the predetermined time, there is a high possibility that the sensor unit 311 reacts unintended by the user. By not performing call registration based on such a detection result, it is possible to further suppress erroneous registration that is not intended by the user.

According to the elevator control system 100 of Embodiment 1, when the sensor unit 311 detects a plurality of operations on the plurality of destination floor display units 310, the light emission control unit 33 displays the plurality of destination floor displays where the operations were performed. The indicator lights 313 corresponding to the respective parts 310 are dimly lit. As a result, it is possible to inform the user by which sensor the user's operation is detected, and it is possible to assist the user in accurately making a call to the desired destination floor.

According to the elevator control system 100 of Embodiment 1, when the sensor unit 311 detects a plurality of operations on a plurality of destination floor display units 310, the last of the plurality of destination floor display units 310 operated is displayed. When the detection time of the operation on the destination floor display unit 310 where the operation is performed reaches the predetermined time and the non-detection time reaches the predetermined time, the control unit 11 displays the destination floor display unit where the operation was performed last. The destination floor C corresponding to 310 is registered. Thus, there is a high possibility that the operation detected last among the plurality of operations is the operation on destination floor display section 310 intended by the user. Therefore, erroneous registration not intended by the user can be further suppressed by not performing call registration based on the operation performed before that.

According to the elevator control system 100 of Embodiment 1, the duration of the detection time when the object detection unit 31 determines that there is a call to a predetermined destination floor is equal to or less than the duration of the non-detection time. Preferably, it is half as long as the duration of the non-detection time. By setting the duration of the non-detection time to be long in this way, for example, the user can take enough time to move his/her finger or the like from the incorrectly detected sensor unit 311 to the correct sensor unit 311. It is possible to prevent the sensor unit 311 from failing to detect the operation intended by the user.

In the first embodiment described above, the manner in which the indicator lamp 313 is illuminated is dark lighting or bright lighting, but the manner in which the indicator lamp 313 is illuminated is not limited to this. It is sufficient if the call to the destination floor displayed by 310 can be identified whether it is in the temporary registration state or in the official registration state. Therefore, for example, the indicator lamp 313 may blink as the light emission mode in the first mode, and the indicator lamp 313 may be lighted as the light emission mode in the second mode. Alternatively, for example, the indicator lamp 313 may be lit in a predetermined color as the light emission mode in the first mode, and the indicator lamp 313 may be lit in a different color as the light emission mode in the second mode.

Further, in the first embodiment described above, the destination floor display unit 310, the push button 312, and the indicator light 313 are integrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. Any or all of the destination floor display unit 310, the push button 312, and the indicator lamp 313 may be separated and arranged separately on the control panel 318.

In addition, in the first embodiment described above, the push button 312 and the sensor unit 311 are separately arranged, but the present invention is not limited to this. The push button 312 and the sensor unit 311 corresponding to the same destination floor display unit 310 may be configured integrally.

Further, in the first embodiment described above, the determination of the destination floor call based on the pressing of the push button 312 is performed in the same manner as the determination of the destination floor call based on the detection result of the sensor unit 311, but the present invention is not limited to this. do not have. The operation of pressing the push button 312 can be performed more accurately than the operation of placing a finger or the like over the sensor unit 311, and erroneous registration due to user's erroneous operation is less likely to occur. Therefore, for example, all the destination floors displayed by the destination floor display unit 310 corresponding to the pressed push button 312 may be registered.

Further, in the first embodiment described above, the operation panel 318 is provided with a plurality of push buttons 312 corresponding to the plurality of destination floor display units 310, respectively. However, the operation panel 318 may not have the push button 312, and may be configured to be operated exclusively by a non-contact operation of placing a finger over the plurality of sensor units 311. FIG.

[Embodiment 2]
The second embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the elevator control system of the second embodiment, the configuration and functions of the destination floor call device 30 described above are applied to the hall call device. In the drawings below, the same reference numerals are given to the structures having the same functions as those of the above-described first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

(Configuration example of elevator control system)
FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing an example functional configuration of an elevator control system 200 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, the elevator control system 200 includes a control panel 10 and a hall call device 50. As shown in FIG.

An elevator controlled by the elevator control system 200 has a configuration similar to that of the first embodiment including, for example, the car 1 and the like. The control panel 10 has, for example, the same configuration as that of the first embodiment described above. The control panel 10 and the hall call device 50 are connected by wire or wirelessly so that various signals can be exchanged. The elevator control system 200 may include, for example, a relay box 20 similar to that of the first embodiment described above, between the control panel 10 and the destination floor call device in the car 1 .

The platform call device 50 includes an object detection unit 51, a sensor unit 511 (511u, 511d, . , 513d .

The sensor units 511 (511u, 511d, . When a user intending to make a predetermined hall call puts a finger or the like over the corresponding sensor section 511, the sensor section 511 detects an object such as the user's finger or the like.

Push buttons 512 (512u, 512d, . The push button 512 is configured so that a user who intends to make a predetermined hall call can press the corresponding push button 512 .

The indicator lamps 513 (513u, 513d, . When a user intending to make a hall call places a finger or the like over the corresponding sensor unit 511 or presses the corresponding push button 512, the indicator lamp 513 corresponding to the destination direction emits light in a predetermined manner.

The object detection unit 51 includes timing units 51a and 51b, and when one of the sensor units 511 detects an object such as a user's finger or the like, whether or not there was a hall call based on the results counted by the timing units 51a and 51b. judge. As described below, the determination method of the object detection unit 51 is the same as the determination method of the object detection unit 31 of the first embodiment, for example.

When any sensor unit 511 detects an object such as a user's finger, the timer 51a as a fifth timer starts counting the detection time of the object. While the sensor unit 511 continues to detect the object, the clock unit 51a continues counting the detection time until the detection time reaches a predetermined time. The clock unit 51a also ends counting the object detection time when the sensor unit 511 stops detecting the object before the detection time reaches the predetermined time.

The timing unit 51b as the sixth timing unit detects an object, and when the sensor unit 511 stops detecting the object after any sensor unit 511 detects the object, the sensor unit 511 stops detecting the object. start counting non-detection time. If any sensor unit 511 does not newly detect an object such as a finger of the user, the timer unit 51b continues counting until the non-detection time reaches a predetermined time. If any sensor unit 511 newly detects an object such as a finger of the user before the non-detection time reaches a predetermined time, the clock unit 51b ends counting the non-detection time.

When the time measuring unit 51a finishes counting the detection time before the detection time counted by the time measuring unit 51a for any of the sensor units 511 reaches a predetermined time as the fifth time, It is determined that there is no hall call corresponding to the sensor unit 511 .

After the detection time counted by the time measuring unit 51a for any sensor unit 511 reaches a predetermined time as the fifth time, the object detection unit 51 detects the non-detection time counted by the time measuring unit 51b for the sensor unit 511. If another sensor unit 511 does not detect an object by the time the predetermined time as the sixth time is reached, it is determined that there is a hall call corresponding to the sensor unit 511 that has detected the object.

After the detection time counted by the time measuring unit 51a for any sensor unit 511 reaches a predetermined time as the fifth time, the object detection unit 51 detects the non-detection time counted by the time measuring unit 51b for the sensor unit 511. If another sensor unit 511 detects an object before reaching the predetermined time as the sixth time, it is determined that there is no hall call corresponding to the sensor unit 511 that first detected the object. Then, after the detection time of the sensor unit 511 that has detected the object next reaches the predetermined time as the fifth time, the non-detection time counted by the clock unit 51b for the sensor unit 511 is the sixth time. If another sensor unit 511 does not detect an object until the predetermined time is reached, the object detection unit 51 determines that there is a hall call corresponding to the sensor unit 511 that has detected the object second.

That is, when a plurality of sensor units 511 each detect an object, the object detection unit 51 determines whether or not the detection time of the sensor unit 511 that last detected the object has reached a predetermined time. It is determined whether or not there is a hall call corresponding to .

It should be noted that the predetermined time as the fifth time used by the object detection unit 51 to determine whether or not there is a hall call is preferably equal to or shorter than the predetermined time as the sixth time. It is more preferable that the length is 1/2 of the predetermined time as .

The press detection unit 52 includes timers 52a and 52b, and when one of the push buttons 512 is pressed by the user, it determines whether or not there is a hall call based on the results counted by the timers 52a and 52b. . As described below, the determination method of the press detection unit 52 is the same as the determination method of the press detection unit 52 of the first embodiment, for example.

When any of the push buttons 512 is pressed by the user, the time measuring unit 52a as a seventh time measuring unit starts counting the pressing time of the push button 512. FIG. While the push button 512 continues to be pressed, the clock unit 52a continues counting the pressing time until the pressing time reaches a predetermined time. The clock unit 52a also ends counting the pressing time of the push button 512 when the pressing of the push button 512 is stopped before the pressing time reaches the predetermined time.

A time measuring unit 52b as an eighth time measuring unit, after any one of the push buttons 512 is pressed, when the push button 512 is released, the non-pressing of the push button 512 after the release of the push button 512 is performed. Start counting time. If any push button 512 is not newly pressed, timer 52b continues counting until the non-press time reaches a predetermined time. When any of the push buttons 512 is newly pressed before the non-pressing time reaches a predetermined time, the timer 52b ends counting the non-pressing time.

If the pressing detection unit 52 finishes counting the pressing time before the pressing time counted by the timer 52a for any of the push buttons 512 reaches the predetermined time as the seventh time, It is determined that there is no hall call corresponding to the push button 512.

After the pressing time counted by the time measuring unit 52a for any of the push buttons 512 reaches a predetermined time as the seventh time, the pressing detection unit 52 detects the non-pressing time counted by the time measuring unit 52b for the push button 512. If another push button 512 is not pressed before the predetermined time as the eighth time is reached, it is determined that there is a call to the destination floor corresponding to the pressed push button 512 .

After the pressing time counted by the time measuring unit 52a for any of the push buttons 512 reaches a predetermined time as the seventh time, the pressing detection unit 52 detects the non-pressing time counted by the time measuring unit 52b for the push button 512. If another push button 512 is pressed before reaching the predetermined time as the eighth time, it is determined that there is no call to the destination floor corresponding to the first pressed push button 512 . After the pressing time of the next pressed push button 512 reaches the predetermined time as the seventh time, the non-pressing time counted by the timer 52b for the push button 512 is the predetermined eighth time. If another push button 512 is not pushed before the time is reached, the push detection unit 52 determines that there is a hall call corresponding to the push button 512 pushed second.

That is, when each of the plurality of push buttons 512 is pressed, the press detection unit 52 detects whether or not the pressing time of the last pressed push button 512 has reached a predetermined time. It is determined whether or not there is a platform call to do so.

It should be noted that the predetermined time as the seventh time used by the press detection unit 52 to determine whether or not there is a hall call is preferably equal to or shorter than the predetermined time as the eighth time. It is more preferable that the length is 1/2 of the predetermined time as .

Based on the determination results of the object detection unit 51 and the press detection unit 52, the light emission control unit 53 causes the predetermined indicator lamp 513 to emit light in a predetermined manner.

When any sensor unit 511 detects an object such as a user's finger, the light emission control unit 53 dimly lights the indicator lamp 513 corresponding to the destination direction of the sensor unit 511 as the light emission form in the first mode. . The light emission control unit 53 causes the indicator lamp 513 to dimly light until the object detection unit 51 determines whether or not the sensor unit 511 has received a hall call.

When any of the push buttons 512 is pressed by the user, the light emission control unit 53 dimly lights the indicator lamp 513 corresponding to the destination direction of the push button 512 . The light emission control unit 53 causes the indicator lamp 513 to dimly light until the depression detection unit 52 determines whether or not there is a hall call for the push button 512 .

When the object detection unit 51 or the press detection unit 52 determines that there is no hall call, the light emission control unit 53 extinguishes the indicator lamp 513 which has been dimly lit.

When the object detection unit 51 or the press detection unit 52 determines that there is a hall call, the light emission control unit 53 causes the indicator lamp 513, which has been dimly lit, to light up in the light emission form in the second mode. Let The light emission control unit 53 turns off the indicator lamp 513 which has been brightly lit when the car 1 arrives at the hall where the hall call was made and the response to the hall call is completed.

A state in which a predetermined indicator lamp 513 is dimly lit may be referred to as a provisional registration state of the hall call corresponding to the indicator lamp 513 . Also, the state in which a predetermined indicator lamp 513 is brightly lit may be referred to as the official registration state of the hall call corresponding to the indicator lamp 513 .

Further, the light emission control unit 53 may cause the indicator lamp 513 to blink or light in a predetermined color as the light emission form in the first mode. Further, the light emission control unit 53 may light the indicator lamp 513 or light it in a color different from the above as the light emission form in the second mode.

When the object detection unit 51 or the press detection unit 52 determines that there is a hall call, the notification unit 54 transmits information of the hall call to the control panel 10 .

The control unit 11 of the control panel 10 registers the received hall call. Further, the control unit 11 causes the car 1 to respond to the hall call according to the contents of the hall call registration.
