The car 20 that runs and is suspended from the main rope 19 moves along the vertical direction Y along the hoistway 12 while being guided by a guide rail (not shown).

The building in which the elevator 10 is installed is provided with landings 26A, 26B, and 26C (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as "landings 26" if there is no need to distinguish them) for each different floor. The elevator 10 includes a car operation panel 23 installed inside the car 20 and hall operation panels 25A, 25B, 25C, etc. installed at each landing 26 (hereinafter, when there is no need to distinguish, "landing") A control device (control unit) 40 that controls the drive of the hoist 16 based on operations performed via each operation panel 23 and 25 is provided. The car 20 is then operated by the control device 40 to repeatedly move up and down from the landing on the floor it is currently landing on (in FIG. 1, landing 26C) to the landing on the next destination floor (for example, landing 26A). is controlled.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration around the entrance/exit 22 in the car 20 where the left and right double-opening car doors 22A, 22B are installed. FIG. 3 is a front view showing the configuration of the car operation panel 23. As shown in FIG. In addition, in FIG. 3, a state in which a floor number display section 33B and an annular lighting section 41B, which will be described later, are lit is shown by adding black to the lighting area.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the car operation panel 23 has a decorative panel 23A having a flat external shape, and the panel 23A is approximately flush with the surface of the wing wall 22-1 adjacent to the entrance 22. It is attached to the wing wall 22-1 so as to constitute. As shown in FIG. 3, the car operation panel 23 has a display section 24 on the top that has the role of displaying guidance such as the ascending and descending direction of the car 20 and the floor number it is passing through, and a display section 24 that displays the destination floor directly below the display section 24. A destination floor operation area 30 having a function of performing a registration operation (predetermined operation) is provided. Furthermore, the car operation panel 23 has a built-in speaker (notification section, sound generation section) SP1 that has the role of broadcasting various guidance sounds between the display section 24 and the destination floor operation area 30.

Further, on the car operation panel 23, a door open button 27 for opening the car doors 22A, 22B and a door close button 29 for closing the car doors are arranged directly below the destination floor operation area 30.

As shown in FIG. 3, the destination floor operation area 30 includes push buttons (contact operation units) 31A, 31B, 31C, ... (hereinafter referred to as "push buttons 31" unless there is a need to distinguish them), and each On the right side of the push button 31, non-contact sensor units (non-contact operation units) 32A, 32B, 32C, ... (hereinafter referred to as "sensor unit 32" unless there is a need to distinguish) are arranged adjacent to each other. are arranged along the vertical direction Y. Further, the push button 31 and the sensor section 32 which are adjacent in the horizontal direction Z each have a function of performing an input operation to register (call) the landing 26 on the same floor as a destination floor.

Each sensor unit 32 includes, for example, a reflection type photoelectric sensor in which a light emitter and a light receiver are integrated. (light shielding). This allows the passenger to place his or her hand over the sensor section 32 to cause the sensor section 32 to detect the operation and register the destination floor in a non-contact manner. Note that in addition to the reflective photoelectric sensor, other types of photoelectric sensors or sensors capable of detecting objects in a non-contact manner using other methods such as capacitive non-contact sensors may be used.

Each push button 31 corresponds to each floor on which the landing 26 is located, and is a contact-type operating section that has a circular external shape when viewed from the front. In this embodiment, the first to sixth floors are the destination floors, and for example, the push button 31B has the role of accepting an operation for determining the second floor as the destination floor. In this embodiment, the push button 31 is used as an example of the contact-type operation unit, but a touch panel or the like may also be used.

As shown in FIG. 3, each push button 31 has a floor number display section 33A, 33B, 33C, ... (hereinafter, particularly distinguished from If it is not necessary, a "floor number display section 33" is provided. Each floor number display section (lighting section, notification section) 33 is configured to be lit when a lamp (not shown) provided inside each push button 31 is lit. Then, by pressing each push button 31 or by causing the sensor unit 32 to detect an object, the floor number display unit 33 is configured to light up when the (call) registration of the destination floor is accepted by the control device 40, which will be described later. be done.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, around each push button 31, annular lighting sections 41A, 41B, 41C, ... (hereinafter referred to as "annular lighting section 41" unless there is a need to distinguish) are arranged around each push button 31. It is formed to surround the push button 31. Each annular lighting section (lighting section, notification section) 41 has an annular appearance by exposing the LED lamp installed on the back side of the panel 23A through the gap Q (see Fig. 3) between the decorative panel 23A and each push button 31. is configured to exhibit the following. In this embodiment, the annular lighting section 41 is configured using an LED lamp, but other light emitting means such as a liquid crystal panel may be used.

Each annular lighting section 41 has substantially the same configuration, and emits light so as to exhibit a lighting state when a control device 40 (to be described later) receives a registration operation for a destination floor corresponding to each push button 31.

When the control device 40 receives the registration of the destination floor via the push button 31, it performs notification in the first notification mode. The first notification mode includes the floor number display section 33 and the annular lighting section 41 exhibiting a lighting state, and audio guidance via the speaker SP1. The lighting state in the first notification mode is controlled by the control device 40 so that when the car 20 arrives at the destination floor corresponding to the floor number display section 33 and the annular lighting section 41 that are in the lighting state, the lighting state is canceled and turned off. . In addition, the voice guidance in the first notification mode may include, for example, "2nd floor has been registered as the destination floor", "2nd floor has been registered", "2nd floor", "2", etc., indicating the destination floor. For example, it is executed only once when registration of the destination floor is accepted via the push button 31.

On the other hand, when the sensor unit 32 detects an object for a first predetermined period of time and receives destination floor registration, the control device 40 performs notification in the second notification mode. The lighting states of the floor number display section 33 and the annular lighting section 41 in this second notification mode are the same as in the first notification mode, but a sound is generated to indicate to passengers that destination floor registration has been accepted via the speaker SP1. They differ in that they allow This sound is, for example, a notification sound (which can also be expressed as a "direction sound") consisting of a non-verbal sound such as "beep" or "beep". Occurs only once when received. Thereby, it is possible to indicate to the passenger that the operation for registering the destination floor has been accepted.

As described above, in the first notification mode and the second notification mode, destination floor registration is controlled by setting the floor number display section 33 and the annular lighting section 41 to the same lighting state (common part) when destination floor registration is accepted. Passengers can easily determine that the device 40 has accepted the request. In addition, by generating different patterns of sounds (non-common parts) in the first notification mode and the second notification mode, that is, voice guidance and notification sound, respectively, the destination floor registration operation can be performed using any operating means (push button 31 and It is possible to easily determine whether the image was generated by the sensor section 32).

With the above configuration, while making it easy for passengers to understand that destination floor registration has been accepted, for example, if a part of the passenger's body or baggage is accidentally detected by the sensor unit 32 or comes into contact with the push button 31. If a destination floor that is not intended by the passenger is registered due to such a situation, the notification mode can be set so that the passenger can quickly notice the erroneous operation.

By the way, when a visually impaired passenger performs a destination floor registration operation, it is considered that the destination floor registration is often performed via the push button 31. For this reason, as mentioned above, when a destination floor registration operation is accepted via the push button 31, voice guidance indicating the destination floor for which the registration has been accepted is broadcast to ensure that the destination floor registration operation is performed as intended. It also has the advantage of being easy for passengers to understand.

The present embodiment differs in that the sound generated via the speaker SP1 is voice guidance in the first notification mode, whereas in the second notification mode it is a notification sound indicating that destination floor registration has been accepted. Although the present invention is configured to be a notification mode, the present invention is not limited to this mode. For example, in both notification modes, the sound generated through the speaker SP1 may be the same or silent, but the lighting colors of the floor number display section 33 and the annular lighting section 41 may be different, and in the first notification mode, the floor number display section 33 may be In the second notification mode, both the floor number display section 33 and the annular lighting section 41 may be lit. Furthermore, while the lighting modes of the floor number display section 33 and the annular lighting section 41 in both notification modes are the same, the sound generated through the speaker SP1 is a notification sound indicating that destination floor registration has been accepted in the first notification mode. However, the second notification mode may be a different notification mode in that it is voice guidance. Alternatively, different notification modes may be used in that the first notification mode is voice guidance with a female voice, and the second notification mode is voice guidance with a male voice. Further, the notification mode may be different by using a notification sound of "beep" in the first notification mode and a "beep" in the second notification mode. In this way, different notification modes may be obtained by changing all or part of the lighting locations, generated sounds, etc. in each notification mode.

Note that if the lighting modes of at least one of the floor number display section 33 and the annular lighting section 41 are different in both notification modes, the speaker SP1 may not be provided.

The car operation panel 23 having the above configuration is electrically connected to a control device 40 (see FIG. 1) installed in the machine room 14 (see FIG. 1). The control device 40 is a computer that centrally performs operation control of the car 20 and display control on the car operation panel 23 based on destination floor registration operations performed via the car operation panel 23, etc., and includes a CPU, Equipped with memory etc. For example, various control programs for controlling the drive of the hoisting machine 16 are stored in the memory. When the CPU reads these programs from the memory and executes them, smooth operation of the elevator 10 by the control device 40 is realized. Although the control device 40 is installed in the machine room 14 in this embodiment, it may be installed in the car 20 or other locations.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of destination floor registration reception processing in the control device 40 when a destination floor registration operation is performed via either the sensor unit 32 or the push button 31. The flow of the destination floor registration reception process in the control device 40 will be explained using FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 4, when the control device 40 detects the operation of the push button 31 or the sensor section 32 (step S1: YES), the control device 40 does not yet accept registration of the destination floor corresponding to the push button 31 or the sensor section 32 whose operation was detected. If not (step S2: NO), if the operation is detected due to the push button 31 being pressed, destination floor registration is accepted (step S3: YES, step S7). Then, the control device 40 executes notification in the first notification mode (step S8).

On the other hand, if the operation is detected by the sensor unit 32 detecting an object (step S3: NO), the control device 40 determines that the sensor unit 32 detects the object for a first predetermined period of time (for example, 0.5 Registration of the destination floor is accepted on the condition that the process continues (step S4: YES, step S5). Then, the control device 40 executes notification in the second notification mode (step S6).

Further, if the destination floor registration operation performed via the push button 31 or the sensor unit 32 is for a destination floor that has already accepted registration (step S1: YES, step S2: YES), the control device 40 , the already accepted destination floor registration is canceled on condition that the above operation continues for a second predetermined time (for example, 1 second) (step S9: YES, step S10). Thereby, the destination floor registration can be canceled by pressing the push button 31 for a long time or by causing the sensor unit 32 to detect an object for a certain period of time. Therefore, even if the destination floor registration made by an erroneous operation is accepted by the control device 40, the state in which the accompaniment destination floor registration is accepted can be quickly canceled. Further, in the processing of steps S9 and S10, the control device 40 may generate a predetermined operation acceptance sound via the speaker SP1 when an operation for canceling destination registration that has already been accepted is accepted. Note that the predetermined operation reception sound may be a sound different from the voice guidance and notification sound in the first notification mode and the second notification mode. Further, the predetermined operation reception sound may be a sound in different forms depending on whether a release operation is received via the push button 31 or when a release operation is received via the sensor unit 32.

Then, the control device 40 stops the notification in the first notification mode or the second notification mode and ends the series of reception control processing (step S11).

According to the elevator 10 of this embodiment, the notification modes executed are different depending on whether destination floor registration is accepted via the push button 31 or when destination floor registration is accepted via the sensor unit 32. Therefore, the passenger can determine which of the push button 31 and the sensor section 32 was operated to accept the destination floor registration. Therefore, even if the destination floor registration that the passenger did unintentionally is accepted, the passenger can easily notice that an erroneous operation has been accepted. As a result, passengers try to perform operations carefully so as not to repeat erroneous operations, so it is possible to obtain the effect of suppressing erroneous operations.

Another advantage is that if a destination floor registration due to an erroneous operation has been accepted, the passenger can quickly cancel the accompanying destination floor registration. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the frequency of the car stopping at a landing where the destination floor has been registered due to an erroneous operation, and thus it is possible to suppress a decrease in the transport efficiency of the car.

In the above embodiment, when the destination floor registration operation is for a destination floor for which registration has already been accepted (see step S2 and step S9 shown in FIG. 4), the condition is that the above operation continues for a second predetermined period of time. Although an example has been described in which the acceptance state of destination floor registration can be canceled, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if an operation is detected a plurality of times (for example, twice) within a second predetermined period of time, destination floor registration that has already been accepted may be cancelled.

Further, the method of canceling the destination floor registration that has already been accepted may be different depending on whether the operation is detected via the push button 31 or the operation is detected via the sensor unit 32. For example, if the operation is via the push button 31, the destination floor registration that has already been accepted can be canceled on the condition that it continues for a second predetermined time, and if the operation is via the sensor section 32, the destination floor registration can be cancelled. In some cases, the destination floor registration that has already been accepted can be canceled on the condition that multiple operations (shading) are detected within a second predetermined time or a time set to a length different from the second predetermined time. Conceivable.

In the above embodiment, an example is given in which the floor number display section 33, the floor number display section 37, and the speaker SP1 are used as the notification section, but in addition to these, or in place of some or all of these, the display section 24 may be used as a notification section. Further, instead of the speaker SP1, a device having another sound generating function such as an electronic buzzer may be used.

In the above embodiment, in the destination floor operation area 30, the push button 31, the annular lighting section 41 arranged to surround the push button 31, and the sensor section 32 at a position adjacent to the push button 31 are each individually provided. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the entire destination floor operation area 30 excluding the sensor section 32 may be configured with a touch panel, and a push button and an annular lighting section may be displayed on the same panel.
