Description

The present invention relates to an elevator boarding information guidance system, and more specifically, not only displays the boarding and loadable weight of the elevator on the elevator as in the conventional case, but also exceeds the boarding and loadable weight. Even without it, if the volume information of the internal space of the elevator is detected and there is no room for boarding, the elevator becomes unnecessary by accurately providing such boarding information to the users who use the elevator. It relates to an elevator boarding information guidance system that can solve problems such as stopping and use the elevator conveniently, and at the same time, can reduce unnecessary power wasted.

Elevators are elevators that can be installed in buildings such as high-rise condominiums and buildings to conveniently move between floors, and passengers who board the elevator can use the elevator installed on one side of the elevator. Use the person button to select the desired floor to go to.

If such an elevator cannot operate normally due to work such as breakdown, repair, or inspection, the boarding of users must be restricted. Therefore, in general, a message such as "inspection" or "failure" is displayed on the display unit installed at the elevator platform, or the display unit at the platform is turned off to restrict the boarding of the user.

In addition, an overload safety device will be installed in the elevator to secure the load of people and cargo within the limit load or the number of people who can board the elevator in order to prevent machine failure and crash accidents due to overload.

The overload safety device generates an alarm (“FULL”) when the weight of a person or cargo inside the elevator is heavier than the set weight, and stops the operation until the overload state is released. , The operation will start only when the overload condition is released.

However, the conventional overload safety device operates by detecting the overload only when a person waiting on each floor gets on board or loads a load, so that the conventional overload safety device operates when the person is on standby. There was a problem that it was not known in advance whether or not it was possible to load things.

On the other hand, in the conventional technology such as the Korean Publication No. 10-2015-0007614 (published on 2015.01.21) "Elevator weight information providing device", the elevator is operated in a state where an overload is not detected. Techniques have been disclosed that provide weight information to allow advance confirmation of whether a waiting person can board or load a load.

However, although the conventional technology as described above has the advantage that the user waiting for boarding can grasp the weight information of the elevator in advance, it carries a lightweight but large volume load or the like. When boarding is impossible, it is difficult to grasp this, so it may be difficult to accurately recognize whether or not the elevator can be boarded.

In addition, a configuration such as a weight measuring means that is installed to determine whether the number of people on standby can be boarded in the boarding waiting space of the elevator and can measure the weight is not only not easy to install, but also for all users. Since you have to participate in the measurement, it is troublesome, and there is a problem that you cannot measure accurately if you do not cooperate even in part.

Korean Published Patent No. 10-2015-0007614

The present invention is for solving the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator boarding and loadable weight as in the prior art, and at the same time, to not exceed the loadable weight.

It is a control flow chart.

Referring to the drawings, the boarding information guidance system for an elevator according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a space detecting means 110, a weight measuring unit 120, a display unit 130, and a control unit 140.

The space detecting means 110 is configured to detect the volume information of the internal boarding space of the elevator when a person gets on the inside of the elevator or a load is placed on the inside of the elevator.

The boarding information guidance system for an elevator of the present invention can determine whether or not it is possible to board the inside of an elevator based on the weight, as in the conventional case, by the configuration of the weight measuring unit 120 described later. Of course, the above-mentioned configuration of the space detecting means 110 is characterized in that it is possible to grasp the volume information of the internal space of the elevator, which is not the weight information based on the number of passengers and the load, and determine whether there is a space that can be boarded. Is.

On the other hand, in the elevator boarding information guidance system according to the embodiment of the present invention, the space detecting means 110 can be configured by a laser sensor module.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the laser sensor module is installed on the ceiling portion 101 of the elevator 100, and is transmitted by a laser transmission unit 111 that transmits a laser toward an internal bottom surface 102 and a laser transmission unit 111. It can be composed of a laser receiving unit 112 that receives a laser that is reflected and returned by the laser.

Such a laser sensor module can operate as follows.

First, a plurality of the laser sensor modules can be installed so that the ceiling portion 101 of the elevator 100 and the inner bottom surface 102 and side wall 103 portions are separated from each other by a certain distance in the height direction. That is, so that the laser transmitting unit 111 and the laser receiving unit 112 can detect the entire internal space of the elevator 100 by dividing it into a fixed area at regular intervals in the height direction and along the side wall portion. It becomes possible to detect a passenger, a load, or an empty space boarding the elevator 100 in each space area divided by a set interval by transmitting and receiving a laser in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction installed.

On the other hand, the laser transmitting unit 111 transmits a laser to each spatial region internally provided and divided in the ceiling portion 101 or the side wall 103 portion of the elevator 100, and the laser receiving unit 112 emits the laser. It measures the time required for the laser transmitted from 111 to be reflected and received, and detects whether the transmitted laser is received within a predetermined time.

Further, the laser sensor module as described above transmits time information and measured time information with respect to the arrival time of the measured laser to the control unit 140, and at this time, the control unit 140 described later is the laser. When the time when the laser transmitted from the transmitting unit 111 is reflected and received by the laser receiving unit 112 is constant, it is determined that there are no passengers or loads, and the laser signal received by the laser receiving unit 112 is transmitted. If the fluctuation is not constant and exceeds the set range, it can be determined that a passenger or a load exists in each space area inside the elevator 100.

As a result, the space detecting means 110, that is, the laser sensor module detects an object such as a occupant or a load in each space area divided into a pattern defined in the internal space of the elevator 100. It becomes possible to distinguish between the filled space and the empty space inside, that is, the volume space inside the elevator.

Therefore, with the space detecting means 110 as described above, the boarding information guidance system for the elevator of the present invention can be placed on each floor according to the total load weight of the passengers and the load loaded in the elevator, as in the conventional ordinary system. Unlike determining whether a waiting person can board, you can accurately grasp the volume space inside the elevator and check whether there is space for the waiting person to board the elevator. It is a feature to do so.

That is, the boarding information guidance system for the elevator of the present invention determines the position and size of the filled space and the empty space for each space area detected by the space detecting means 110 regardless of the load weight inside the elevator. Further, by displaying the number of people that can be boarded and the space that can be loaded in the boarding standby space by the display unit 130 described later, the boarding standby person who is waiting for boarding and loading the load on each floor is this. It is possible to grasp the volume space information inside the elevator.

In particular, in one embodiment of the present invention, it is detected that the entrance / exit of the elevator is blocked, and it is possible to grasp the case where a person or cargo cannot enter the inside of the elevator. By notifying the waiting passengers and obtaining their consent, we will be able to operate the elevator more conveniently and efficiently.

On the other hand, as an actual situation, for example, when a load having a large volume and a light weight is loaded inside the elevator 100, the boarding space is not exceeded even if the boarding weight is not exceeded. There may be a shortage, but at this time, the boarding waiters waiting on each floor cannot grasp such a state, so press the elevator call button to stop the elevator and check this with the naked eye. This will reduce the circulation speed of the elevator ascending and descending by that amount, which is inconvenient for all passengers and waiting-list passengers in the elevator.

However, the elevator boarding information guidance system of the present invention identifies the filled space and the empty space inside the elevator, that is, the volume space inside the elevator, even if the inside of the elevator is not overweight. When the boarding space is insufficient, by making it recognizable to the waiting passengers, unnecessary stops are not performed when the elevator is raised or lowered, and the elevator can be used very efficiently.

The elevator boarding information guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention detects the boarding and loaded weight of the elevator 100, and when the preset overload reference weight is exceeded, the excess weight information is controlled. It can be further configured to include a weight measuring unit 120 to be sent to the unit 140.

The weight measuring unit 120 is configured so that the weight that can be further boarded or loaded on the elevator 100 can be calculated by the control unit 140 described later.

As a result, the weight measuring unit 120 measures the boarding and loaded weight inside the elevator 100 together with the volume space detection inside the elevator by the space detecting means 110, and transmits the measured weight information to the control unit 140. Then, the overload reference weight value set for the elevator and the measured internal weight value are calculated, and the extra weight that can be boarded or loaded is calculated. Here, the volume space means the size of the spare space inside the elevator due to the volume of the passengers and loads on the inside of the elevator or the space occupied by the passengers and loads.

In the control unit 140, the weight value calculated in this way is displayed by the display unit 130, which will be described later, so that the boarding waiter waiting for boarding on each floor can grasp such weight information. To be able to.

Therefore, the person waiting on each floor can confirm in advance whether or not boarding is possible based on the volume weight information of the display unit. Therefore, if it is determined that boarding is not possible, the elevator Since it is possible to search for an alternative transportation method without waiting for, the waiting time can be shortened.

The display unit 130 is configured to display boarding information on the elevator 100 on a display installed in a waiting area on each floor.

Thereby, it is desirable that the display unit 130 comprises a display installed at an appropriate place such as an entrance / exit of an elevator that can be easily confirmed by a boarding waiter who is waiting for boarding on each floor, and the display unit 130 is installed in this way. The display enables the waiting person to grasp all the volume information and the weight information of the boarding space inside the elevator.

That is, when the weight measuring unit 120 exceeds the load weight on the elevator 100 by a passenger or a load, the display 131 may output a message such as "full" or "overweight" or a voice alarm. The space detection means 110 does not exceed the load weight, and even if a part of the empty space remains, the inside of the elevator is caused by a crowded passenger or an irregularly occupying load (S). If the doorway is blocked or the space available for boarding is insufficient, a message such as "insufficient boarding space" or "blocked doorway" or a voice alarm can be output to the display 131. .. On the other hand, as another embodiment, each space area is graphically represented on the display 131 so that the passenger or the waiting person can specifically directly confirm the remaining space inside the elevator and the filled space. Examples are also possible.

The control unit 140 is configured to determine whether or not boarding is possible in the elevator based on the volume information detected by the space detecting means, and control the display unit 130 to display the boarding information.

That is, the control unit 140 receives a data signal for the volume space and weight information detected or calculated by the space detecting means 110 and the weight measuring unit 120, and the remaining space inside the elevator is obtained by the received data signal. Depending on the area, the usage status of the elevator, that is, information such as the remaining space inside the elevator, the number of passengers, and the loadable weight, as well as whether or not boarding is possible is determined and controlled to be output to the display 131. be able to.

At this time, in one embodiment of the present invention, when it is detected that the control unit 140 is in a state where the entrance / exit of the elevator is blocked as described above, a person or an object enters the elevator. It is determined that the situation cannot be entered, and the boarding disabled information for such a situation is controlled to be output to the display 131 so that the waiting person can easily recognize that the boarding standby is in the boarding disabled state. be able to.

On the other hand, the boarding information guidance system for the elevator of the present invention configured as described above can perform the following control.

FIG. 5 is a schematic control flowchart of an elevator boarding information guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the control unit 140 that controls the function of the elevator 100 confirms whether or not the weight that can be boarded is exceeded by the boarding weight information of the elevator received in real time from the weight measuring unit 120. That is, it is determined whether the boarding of the elevator 100 and the loadable weight have been exceeded.

At this time, when the boarding and loadable weight of the elevator 100 is exceeded, the control unit 140 controls to display such an excess weight state on the display 131.

After that, when the control unit 140 receives information on the state in which the boarding and loadable weight is not exceeded by the weight measuring unit 120, the control unit 140 is an elevator by the signal detected by the space detecting means 110, that is, the laser sensor module. Calculate internal volumetric information. At this time, the volume space information is the space area arbitrarily divided in the entire internal space of the elevator, and the remaining space, the filled space, the size of the remaining space, the remaining space, and the filled space. It can contain detailed information such as location.

Further, when the control unit 140 does not exceed the boarding and loadable weight based on the weight information of the elevator 100, and the laser sensor module determines that sufficient boarding space remains even based on the volumetric space information, the elevator will move. At the same time as controlling so that it can operate normally, it is controlled so that the volume space information is output by the display unit 130.

On the other hand, when the control unit 140 determines that the space available for boarding is insufficient based on the volume space information received by the laser sensor module, the detailed content of such volume space information, that is, the remaining space. The display unit controls the internal state information of the elevator, such as the number of passengers that can be boarded according to the remaining space, so that it can be output in characters, voice, graphics, and the like.

At this time, in one embodiment of the present invention, when it is detected by the laser sensor module that there is a space on which the elevator can be boarded, it is determined by the control unit 140 whether the entrance / exit 104 portion of the elevator 100 is blocked. If the doorway 104 of the elevator 100 is opened, the elevator 100 can be operated normally, and if it is determined that the doorway 104 is blocked, such a state is obtained. An embodiment is possible in which the volumetric space information of the above is output to the display unit 130 to notify the passenger waiting for boarding that the elevator is in an unboardable state, and at the same time, the stop of the elevator is controlled to be in an unforced state.

As described above, the controllable elevator boarding information guidance system of the present invention provides the elevator boarding and loadable weight as in the conventional case, and at the same time, the volume of the internal space of the elevator even if the loadable weight is not exceeded. By detecting information and providing accurate boarding information to elevator users when there is no room for boarding, problems such as the elevator stopping unnecessarily can be solved and the elevator can be stopped. Not only does it have the effect of making the use of the elevator quicker and more convenient, but it can also reduce unnecessary power and time, and can have the effect of making the use of the elevator very efficient. ..

The elevator boarding information guidance system of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration provides the boarding and loadable weight of the elevator as in the prior art, and at the same time, the internal space of the elevator does not exceed the loadable weight. By detecting volume information and providing accurate boarding information to elevator users when there is no room for boarding, the elevator solves problems such as the elevator stopping unnecessarily. It is an industrially very useful invention that can make the use of the elevator quick and convenient, and at the same time reduce unnecessary waste of electricity.
