DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an elevator controller, and more particularly to an elevator controller for controlling a call registration operation by a destination button provided in an elevator car or a landing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, an elevator is intended for an unspecified number of people, and if anyone operates a call button provided in an elevator hall or an elevator car, a hall call or a car call can be registered, and the elevator car can be registered. It is possible to call and drive an elevator car to a desired floor.

However, depending on the building, floors (for example, a computer room, a vault, an information room, an executive room, etc.) are often provided to restrict outsiders from entering. In order to restrict such use, Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 52-44937 discloses that a car call on a specific floor to which the above-mentioned outsider is desired to be restricted is not normally registered, and the car call is not stored in the elevator car. A technique is disclosed in which the contents stored in a card are read by a provided card reading means, and a car call on the floor corresponding to the contents is automatically registered. However, this method has the inconvenience that passengers who are permitted to go to a plurality of specific floors (for example, a building manager) must use a card for each destination floor.

Therefore, as a method of eliminating the need to use a card for each destination floor as described above, a car call on a specific floor is usually prevented from being registered, and provided in an elevator car. Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 52-27151 discloses a technique in which the contents written on a card are read by card reading means, and if the contents match predetermined contents, a car call on a specific floor can be registered by operating a destination button.
Published in the official gazette. This method is very convenient for a passenger who is allowed to go to a plurality of specific floors because one card can go to a plurality of specific floors. In addition, it is possible to freely set a combination of specific floors to which the passenger can go for each passenger.

[0005]

However, in the conventional elevator control device of the above-mentioned type, which can go to a plurality of specific floors with one card, the elevator is operated until the destination button is pressed.
I didn't know which floor calls could be registered with this card. For this reason, if the storage contents of the card have been changed and forgotten, or if the storage contents of the card have been destroyed, the car call will not be registered even if the destination button is operated. There was a problem that the passenger was forced to perform unnecessary confusion and operation, such as contacting the elevator maintenance company erroneously because of the failure of the vehicle or pressing the destination button appropriately.

Also, a destination button is provided in the elevator hall,
By operating this destination button, the destination call of the target floor is registered, and the elevator car is called, and when the elevator car arrives, the above-mentioned registered destination call is automatically registered as a car call. there were. In this driving method, in addition to the advantage that only one button operation is required, even when the inside of the elevator car is crowded, it is necessary to push a destination button in the elevator car or ask a person to press the destination button in the elevator car. There was no taste. But,
Even in such a driving system, when restricting access to outsiders, it has been practiced that only a destination call on a specific floor can be registered using a card in the same manner as described above. Therefore, even when the destination button is provided in the elevator hall, the same problem as when the destination button in the elevator car is operated has occurred.

Therefore, the present invention restricts the operation of the elevator so that only a specific card holder can go to a specific floor, and furthermore, a destination button in an elevator hall or a destination button in an elevator car without being confused by a card user.

In the figure, reference numeral 23 denotes a storage circuit for temporarily storing the contents of the read signal 11a inputted from the card reading means 9 and outputting the stored contents 23a when the input signal at point R is "L". The input signal from the point I is newly stored only when the input signal at the point R changes from "H" to "L". A floor identification circuit 24 extracts floor data included in the stored contents 23a and converts the floor data into floor detection signals 241a to 248a for the first to eighth floors, which are signals for each floor. Note that among the floor detection signals 241a to 248a of the first to eighth floors, the floor detection signal corresponding to the floor included in the stored content 23a is "H", and the floor detection signal corresponding to the floor not included is "H". The detected floor detection signals are all “L”. 251 to 258 are 8 from the first floor
An arithmetic circuit for floors, and an arithmetic circuit 254 for generating a temporary release command 124a for the fourth floor. Reference numeral 26 indicates that the output signal at the point O is output as "L" when the input signal at the point I is "L", and the time counting starts when the input signal at the point I changes from "L" to "H". At the same time, the output signal at the point O is output as “H”, and if the state of the input signal at the point I is “H” for a predetermined time (= 5 seconds), even if the input signal at the point I is “H”, A timer for setting the output signal at the point O to "L" and outputting the signal, and 27 is an OR gate. The arithmetic circuits 251 to 253 for the first to third floors and the arithmetic circuits 255 to 258 for the fifth to eighth floors are configured similarly to the arithmetic circuit 254 for the fourth floor.

Next, the operation of the elevator control apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described. First, the operation of the car call registration means 13 during a time period other than a traffic light time period (for example, 6:00 to 20:00) will be described. The case where the elevator car is on the first floor and a passenger in the elevator car operates the destination button 4a on the fourth floor will be described.

In the car call registration circuit for the fourth floor in FIG.
Since the car call registration prohibition command 104a on the fourth floor is "L" in the time periods other than the above-mentioned low-speed time period, the output of the NOT gate 17 is "H", and the output of the OR gate 18 is also "H". Has become. Therefore, when the destination button 4a is operated and the destination button operation signal 4c becomes "H", the output of the AND gate 20 also becomes "H", and the storage content of the storage element 22 becomes "H". As a result, the car call on the fourth floor is registered, and the car call registration signal 134a is output as "H". Further, a destination registration lamp lighting instruction 134 is input via the OR gate 19.
b is also output as "H", and the destination registration lamp 4b on the fourth floor is turned on.

Thereafter, when the elevator car departs from the first floor to respond to the car call registration signal 134a on the fourth floor, and decides to stop at the fourth floor, the car position signal 144a on the fourth floor becomes "L".
To “H”, the storage content of the storage element 22 is reset to “L”. Thereby, the registration of the car call on the fourth floor is canceled, and the car call registration signal 134a changes from “H” to “L”. At the same time, the destination registration lamp lighting instruction 134b
Becomes "L", and the destination registration lamp 4b on the fourth floor is turned off. The above-described series of operations is a normal operation of registering and canceling a car call.

Next, when traffic is low (for example, 2
The operation of the car call registration means 13 from 0:00 to 6:00) will be described. In this time zone, it is assumed that all car calls on the fourth floor to the sixth floor are prohibited from being registered. In such a situation, a case where a passenger gets into an elevator car on the first floor and operates the destination button 4a on the fourth floor will be described.

In the car call registration circuit for the fourth floor in FIG.
Since the car call registration prohibition command 104a on the fourth floor is "H" during the off-peak hours, the output of the NOT gate 17 is "L", and the temporary release command 124a is also "L".
The output of the OR gate 18 is also "L". Therefore, even if the destination button 4a is operated and the destination button operation signal 4c becomes "H", the output of the AND gate 20 does not become "H",
The storage content of the storage element 22 remains “L”. That is,
During the off-peak hours, car calls on the 4th floor cannot be registered.

However, it is assumed that a passenger who has a dedicated card for permitting registration of a car call on the fourth and fifth floors inserts the dedicated card into the card reading means 11 in the elevator car. At this time, in the circuit of FIG. 3, the temporary release means 12 temporarily stores the content of the read signal 11a in the storage circuit 23, and the floor identification circuit 24 selects the corresponding floor (fourth floor) from the stored content 23a. And the fifth floor), and outputs the floor detection signals 244a and 245a of the fourth and fifth floors from "L" to "H". Then, in the arithmetic circuit 254 for the fourth floor,
The temporary release command 124a for the fourth floor is set to "H" by the timer 26.
Is output. Similarly, the fifth-floor arithmetic circuit 255 also outputs a temporary release command 125a for the fifth floor at "H". All other floor temporary release commands are output at "L".

In the car call registration circuit for the fourth floor in FIG. 2, the output signal of the AND gate 21 is a pulse signal 16a.
"H" and "L" are repeated according to
Destination register lamp lighting instruction 134b, which is the output of R gate 19
Also, "H" and "L" are repeated, and the destination registration lamp 4b on the fourth floor starts blinking. Similarly, the destination registration lamp 5b on the fifth floor also starts blinking. In this way, the passenger is notified that he / she can go to the fourth or fifth floor and that the car call registration is being accepted.

While the destination registration lamps 4b and 5b on the fourth and fifth floors are blinking, the passenger of the above-mentioned special card can use the destination button 4 on the fourth floor.
a, and when the destination button operation signal 4c becomes "H", the temporary release command 124a is "H" and the output of the OR gate 18 is also "H", so that the output of the AND gate 20 is also "H". ”, And the storage content of the storage element 22 becomes“ H ”. As a result, the car call on the fourth floor is registered, and the car call registration signal 134a is output as "H". Further, the destination registration lamp lighting instruction 134b is also output as "H" through the OR gate 19, so that the destination registration lamp 4b on the fourth floor changes from blinking to lighting, and the fact that the car call has been registered is indicated by the above-mentioned special card. Inform passengers.

On the other hand, in the temporary release means 12 of FIG.
When 5 seconds have elapsed since the temporary release command 124a for the fourth floor became "H", the temporary release command 124a for the fourth floor is again set to "L" by the timer 26. Similarly, when 5 seconds elapse after the temporary release command 125a on the fifth floor changes to "H", the temporary release command 125a on the fifth floor also changes to "L" and the destination registration light 5b on the fifth floor stops blinking and turns off. Changes to After this,
As described above, the car call on the fifth floor cannot be registered even if the destination button 5a on the fifth floor is operated. The temporary release commands 124a and 125a for the fourth and fifth floors are both changed from "H" to "L".
, The output of the OR gate 27 also changes from "H" to "L", so that the contents of the read signal 11a stored in the storage circuit 23 are cleared, and the floor detection signals of the fourth and fifth floors are eventually obtained. 244a and 245a are set to "L" again.

In this way, when a passenger having a dedicated card for permitting a car call registration on a specific floor inserts the special card into the card reading means 11 in the elevator car, the destination registration light on the permitted specific floor blinks. Since the passenger is notified of the floor on which the car call can be registered and the registrable period, the passenger can operate the destination button in the elevator car without being confused.

As described above, the elevator control apparatus according to the present embodiment includes the first to eighth floor destination buttons 1a to 8a provided on the car operation panel 9 in the elevator car, and the respective destination buttons 1a.
8a, the destination buttons 1a to 8 on the first to eighth floors.
Destination registration lights 1b to 8b on the first to eighth floors indicating that a car call has been registered on the floor corresponding to a, and a car call registration prohibition command 101a to prevent car call registration on a specific floor.
A known service prohibiting means 10 for outputting 08a, a car control means 14 for controlling the operation of the elevator car to make the elevator car respond to the car call and the hall call,
A well-known card reading means 11 provided near the car operation panel 9 in the elevator car for reading contents recorded on a dedicated card, and a floor corresponding to the contents read by the card reading means 11 are detected. Temporary release commands 121a-12 for temporarily releasing car call registration prohibition on the detected floor.
Temporary release means 12 for outputting 8a, destination registration lights 1b to 8b as destination display means for displaying the temporarily released destination floor in the elevator car, operation of the destination buttons 1a to 8a and registration of the car call. Car call registration is performed according to the presence or absence of the prohibition commands 101a to 108a.
8b, and the temporary release command 121a
, The car call registration prohibition commands 101a to 108a on the corresponding floor are invalidated, and the destination buttons 1a to 8a are disabled.
A car call registration means 13 is provided which enables car call registration by the operation of a and causes the destination registration lights 1b to 8b (destination display means) to display a temporary release floor.

That is, the elevator control apparatus of this embodiment reads the floor stored in the dedicated card by the card reading means 11 and outputs temporary release commands 121a to 128a to the detected floor. The car call registration prohibition commands 101a to 108a on the floor are invalidated to enable car call registration by operating the destination buttons 1a to 8a in the elevator car, and the destination registration light 1b in the elevator car
-8b (destination display means) to display the temporary release floor.

Therefore, the dedicated card user can read the stored contents of the card by the card reading means 11 to know the floor on which the car call can be registered with the card, and without being confused inside the elevator car. Can operate the desired destination buttons 1a to 8a of the elevator, so that the operation of the elevator can be restricted so that only a specific card holder can go to a specific floor. Become.

In the first embodiment, the card reading means 11 is provided in the elevator car, and when the card reading means 11 reads the contents of the special card, the temporary release commands 121a to 128a are set to "H". When a predetermined time (= 5 seconds) elapses thereafter, the temporary release commands 121a to 121a-1
28a was reset to "L". The reason why the temporary release commands 121a to 128a are set in this manner is that when the card reading means 11 in the elevator car reads the dedicated card, it has already been confirmed that there is no other passenger in the card user. This is because it can be expected that the user is ready to operate the target destination button.

In the first embodiment, the card reading means 11 is provided in the elevator car, but the place where the card reading means 11 is provided is not limited to the elevator car. For example, the present invention can be applied to a case where the projector is installed outside an elevator car, such as an elevator hall, an entrance near an elevator hall, or an entrance to a building. Also,
Naturally, the present invention can be applied to a case where the card reading means 11 is installed on a plurality of floors.

By the way, as described above, the card reading means 1
When 1 is provided outside the elevator car, there is a problem in keeping the temporary release commands 121a to 128a at "H". For example, if the temporary release commands 121a to 128a are set to "H" when the contents of the dedicated card are read, the passenger holding the dedicated card has not yet entered the elevator car, This is because it is conceivable that the refund remains, and the original purpose of limiting the passengers who can go to a specific floor cannot be achieved. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the set time for setting the temporary release commands 121a to 128a to "H" in consideration of these factors.

<Second Embodiment> In order to solve the above problem, the elevator car arrives at the floor where the card reading means 11 is installed, opens the door, and is temporarily released from the time when the passenger gets into the elevator car. Commands 121a-
128a may be set to “H”. This embodiment will be described as a second embodiment with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram showing an arithmetic circuit for the fourth floor of the temporary release means of the elevator control device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Is a circuit diagram corresponding to the arithmetic circuit 254 for use.

In the figure, reference numeral 141a denotes a car position signal on the first floor which becomes "H" when the elevator car is on the first floor;
5a is a stop signal which becomes "H" when the elevator car is stopped, 15b is a door open signal which becomes "H" when the door of the elevator car is open, and 15c is one car call registered. A car call no signal which becomes "H" when not performed, and 15d is a hall call response which becomes "H" from the time when the elevator car responds to the hall call until it is determined to stop until the door is opened and the door is closed again. The signal 27 is an AND gate. The arithmetic circuits 251 to 251 for the first to eighth floors in FIG.
258 has the same configuration as the arithmetic circuit 254 for the fourth floor in FIG.

Next, the operation of the elevator control device according to this embodiment will be described. Card reading means 11 provided outside the elevator car in the elevator hall on the first floor
Suppose that a special card for the fourth floor is read. Then, it is assumed that the hall call is registered by operating the hall button to bring in the elevator car. In this case, temporary release means 1
The floor detection signal 244 for the fourth floor is obtained by the second floor identification circuit 24.
a changes from “L” to “H”. However, if the elevator car is stopped on the third floor in the down direction, the car position signal 141a on the first floor is "L" and the output of the AND gate 27 in FIG. 4 also becomes "L". The temporary release command 124a, which is the output of 26, also remains at "L". In this state, the car call on the fourth floor has not been registered yet.

Thereafter, when the elevator car arrives at the first floor in response to the hall call on the first floor, the car position signal 141a and the hall call response signal 15d become "H", and when the elevator car stops, the stopped signal 15a becomes "H". When the door opening is further started, the door opening signal 15b also becomes “H”. If no car call is registered on another floor when the elevator car arrives on the first floor, the car call no signal 15c is "H". Therefore, the output of the AND gate 27 in FIG. 4 becomes "H", and the first time, the timer 26 outputs the temporary release command 124a on the fourth floor as "H" by the timer 26, and the destination registration lamp 4b on the fourth floor starts blinking, 4th floor car call registration becomes possible.

Thus, the car position and the car state (stopped /
Temporary release commands 121a-128 in consideration of the door open / closed state, the presence or absence of a car call, the presence or absence of a hall call response, etc. during traveling.
Since the timing and the period of “H / L” of a are determined, it is possible to more reliably fulfill the function of restricting call registration, that is, prevent anyone other than a specific passenger from going to a specific floor.

As described above, the elevator control apparatus according to the present embodiment includes the first to eighth floor destination buttons 1a to 8a provided on the car operation panel 9 in the elevator car, and the respective destination buttons 1a.
8a, the destination buttons 1a to 8 on the first to eighth floors.
Destination registration lights 1b to 8b on the first to eighth floors indicating that a car call has been registered on the floor corresponding to a, and a car call registration prohibition command 101a to prevent car call registration on a specific floor.
A known service prohibiting means 10 for outputting 08a, a car control means 14 for controlling the operation of the elevator car to make the elevator car respond to the car call and the hall call,
A well-known card reading unit 11 that is provided at an elevator hall, an entrance near an elevator hall, or an entrance of a building, and reads contents recorded on a dedicated card, and corresponds to the contents read by the card reading unit 11. A temporary release unit 12 for detecting a floor and outputting temporary release commands 121a to 128a for temporarily releasing the inhibition of car call registration on the detected floor, and the card reading unit after the card reading unit 11 operates. The arithmetic circuit 25 of the temporary release means 12 which is a temporary release holding means for holding the output of the temporary release command of the car call registration inhibition by the car position signals 141a to 148a until the elevator car arrives at the installation floor of No. 11.
1 to 258, the car call registration is performed in accordance with the operation of the destination buttons 1a to 8a and the presence or absence of the car call registration prohibition commands 101a to 108a, the destination registration lamps 1b to 8b are turned on, and the temporary release command 121a The car call registration prohibition command 101a on the corresponding floor in accordance with .about.128a.
A car call registration means 13 is provided for disabling 108a and enabling car call registration by operating the destination buttons 1a to 8a.

That is, the elevator controller of this embodiment reads the floor stored in the dedicated card by the card reading means 11 and outputs temporary release commands 121a to 128a to the detected floor. The car call registration prohibition commands 101a to 108a on the floor are invalidated to enable the car call registration by operating the destination buttons 1a to 8a in the elevator car. Until the elevator car arrives at the floor where the reading means 11 is installed, the temporary release commands 121a to 128
The output of a is suspended.

Therefore, the dedicated card user can register the car call on the specific floor by reading the stored contents of the card by the card reading means 11, but at this time, the position of the elevator car is considered, Even after the operation of the card reading means 11, the car call registration prohibition commands 101a to 108a function effectively until the elevator car arrives, and it is possible to restrict outsiders from entering the specific floor. It is possible to more reliably fulfill the call registration restriction function of not allowing the user to go to the home.

In the second embodiment, even if the elevator car arrives at the first floor and opens the door, if a car call is registered on another floor, there are passengers in the elevator car. The temporary release command 124a for the fourth floor is prevented from becoming "H" (in this case, the temporary release command 124a for the fourth floor is not set until the elevator car finishes responding to all other car calls and returns to the first floor. H ”). Also, the temporary release command 124a is set to "H" for the first time after the elevator car starts to open. However, unless all the strict conditions regarding the car condition are satisfied, it is not impossible to attain the purpose of not allowing a specific customer to go to a specific floor. "At least until the elevator car arrives at the installation floor, the temporary release commands 121a to 121a
8a is not set to “H”. In other words, when the elevator car arrives at the installation floor, the temporary release commands 121a-121
128a is set to “H”. "
The effect on the car call registration restriction can be sufficiently obtained.

By the way, in the case where the card reading means 11 is provided outside the elevator car (for example, in the elevator hall) as in the second embodiment, after the passenger reads the contents of the special card, Like when you go out of the elevator hall without registering the hall call and remember the elevator call, or when you register the hall call but get out of the elevator hall because the elevator car is hard to come. It is conceivable that the temporary cancellation operation of the registration prohibition of the car call becomes useless. Such a useless operation may cause a car call registration on a specific floor to be effective for irrelevant passengers who call in the elevator car later. This causes a problem that the call registration restriction function cannot be performed. In order to solve this, the following various measures can be appropriately adopted.

As a first countermeasure, the card reading means 11 operates (when the contents of the dedicated card are read) for a predetermined time (the time required for the place where the card reading means 11 is provided and the hall button, and the elevator car). (For example, one minute may be appropriately determined in consideration of the waiting time required to call the user.), The contents of the storage circuit 23 are forcibly cleared, and the elevator car reads the card reading means. The temporary release commands 121a to 128a are not set to "H" even when the vehicle arrives at the floor 11 where the installation is performed.

As a second countermeasure, a predetermined time after the operation of the card reading means 11 (set in accordance with the distance between the card reading means 11 and the elevator hall, for example, 20 minutes).
If the hall call is not registered within (sec), the contents stored in the storage circuit 23 are immediately cleared, and the temporary release operation is invalidated.

As a third countermeasure, if a hall call is registered within the above-mentioned predetermined time after the card reading means 11 operates, a second predetermined time from the registration of the hall call (when the elevator car receives the hall call from this hall call). If the elevator car has not arrived after enough time to respond (eg 3 minutes)
The contents stored in the storage circuit 23 are immediately cleared, and the temporary release operation is invalidated.

As a fourth countermeasure, a waiting detection means (for example, means capable of analyzing the image of a television camera provided on the ceiling to detect the presence or absence of a waiting person) is installed in the elevator hall.
Then, the waiting-for-waiting detecting means must detect the waiting for customer within a predetermined time (set in accordance with the distance between the card-reading means 11 and the elevator hall, for example, 20 seconds) after the operation of the card-reading means 11. In this case, the storage contents of the storage circuit 23 are immediately cleared, and the temporary release operation is invalidated.

As a fifth measure, even if the waiting detecting means detects a waiting person within a predetermined time after the card reading means 11 operates in the fourth measure, the waiting person leaves the elevator hall. As soon as it is detected, the contents stored in the storage circuit 23 are cleared and the temporary release operation is invalidated.

<Third Embodiment> The first countermeasure for solving the problem that may occur when the card reading means 11 is provided outside the elevator car will be described.
A third embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of an elevator control device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the same reference numerals and symbols as those in the first and second embodiments denote the same or corresponding components as those in the first and second embodiments.

In the figure, 28 is a forced reset means, 2
Reference numeral 8a denotes a temporary release valid signal indicating a period during which the temporary release operation is possible, and is set to "H" when the elapsed time from the point when the content of the dedicated card is read is less than a predetermined time (= 1 minute). When the time is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, it is reset to "L".

FIG. 6 is a circuit diagram showing the temporary release means and the forced reset means of the elevator control apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The circuit diagram of the temporary release means 12 and the forced reset means 28 in FIG. It is.

In the figure, 29 is an OR gate, 30 is a timer having the same function as the timer 26. When the input signal at point I is "L", the output signal at point O is output as "L".
When the input signal at point I changes from "L" to "H", the timer starts counting and outputs the output signal at point O at "H". Predetermined time (=
1 minute) If the input signal at point I is "H"
The output signal at point O is set to “L” and output. The arithmetic circuits 251 to 258 for the first to eighth floors in FIG.
The configuration is the same as that of the floor arithmetic circuit 254. Also,
The storage circuit 23 has two input terminals R1 and R for clearing temporarily stored contents (data input from point I).
2, the input signal from the point I is newly stored only when the input signals at the points R1 and R2 are both "L", and either the input signal at the point R1 or the input signal at the point R2 is " H "
When the status changes from "L" to "L", the content is cleared.

Next, the operation of the elevator control device according to the present embodiment will be described. It is assumed that, in the elevator hall on the first floor, a passenger having a special card causes the card reading means 11 provided in the elevator hall to read a special card for the fourth floor. Then, the floor detection signal 244a of the fourth floor is set to "L" by the floor identification circuit 24 of the temporary release means 12 in FIG.
To "H". At this time, assuming that the elevator car is being stopped with the door closed on the third floor, the temporary release command 124a remains "L" as in the case of the second embodiment. In this state, the car call on the fourth floor cannot be registered yet. On the other hand, when the floor detection signal 244a of the fourth floor changes from “L” to “H”, the output of the OR gate 29 of the forced resetting unit 28 also changes from “L” to “H”, At the same time as the counting is started, the temporary release valid signal 28a is set to "H".

Thereafter, it is assumed that the passenger of the exclusive card leaves the elevator hall without operating the landing button on the first floor. In this case, since the hall call on the first floor is not registered, the elevator car remains stopped on the third floor. If such a state continues for one minute, the output signal of the timer 30, that is, the temporary release valid signal 28a changes from "H" to "L". Therefore, since the input signal at the point R2 of the storage circuit 23 changes from “H” to “L”, the contents of the read signal 11a stored in the storage circuit 23 are cleared, and the floor signal 2 on the fourth floor is eventually obtained.
44a is set to "L" again. Therefore, even if another general passenger registers the hall call on the first floor and calls the elevator car after this, the storage contents of the storage circuit 23 are already cleared and the floor signal 244a on the fourth floor is set to "L". Therefore, there is no worry that the general passenger will register a car call on the fourth floor.

As described above, when a sufficiently long time has elapsed from the time when the contents of the special card are read, the contents of the storage circuit 23 of the temporary release means 12 are forcibly cleared, so that the passenger of the special card can call the hall. Even if the user leaves the elevator hall without registering, it is possible to prevent a general passenger from registering a car call on a specific floor. Further, the present invention is also effective when the card reading means 11 is installed at a certain distance from a hall button such as an entrance of an elevator hall or an entrance of a building.

In the third embodiment, the temporary release enable signal 28a changes from "H" to "L" immediately after the elevator car arrives at the first floor and outputs the temporary release command 124a for the fourth floor at "H". , Temporary release command 1 on the 4th floor
24a is also reset to "L" immediately, but it is not always necessary to give priority to the invalidation command by the forced reset means. Even if the temporary release enable signal 28a changes from "H" to "L" after temporarily outputting the temporary release command at "H", the temporary release command may be maintained at "H".

<Fourth Embodiment> The second and third measures for solving the problem that may occur when the card reading means 11 is provided outside the elevator car will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. This will be described in detail as an example. FIGS. 5 and 6 are common to the third embodiment.

FIG. 7 is a circuit diagram showing forcible reset means of an elevator control device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
This corresponds to the forced reset unit 28 in FIG.

In the figure, reference numeral 31 denotes a timer having the same function as the timer 26, and the time limit is set to 3 minutes. 32,
33 is an AND gate, 34 is an OR gate, 35 is NOT
The gate 361a is a first floor upward call signal which becomes "H" when a first floor upward call is registered. Note that timer 3
For 0, the time limit is set to 20 seconds.

Next, the operation of the elevator control device according to this embodiment will be described. It is assumed that, in the elevator hall on the first floor, a passenger having a special card causes the card reading means 11 provided in the elevator hall to read a special card for the fourth floor. Then, the floor detection signal 244a of the fourth floor is set to "L" by the floor identification circuit 24 of the temporary release means 12 in FIG.
To "H". At this time, assuming that the elevator car is being stopped with the door closed on the third floor, the temporary release command 124a remains "L" as in the case of the second embodiment. In this state, the car call on the fourth floor cannot be registered yet. On the other hand, since the first floor ascending call signal 361a in FIG. 7 is "L", the output of the NOT gate 35 is "H". Therefore, the floor detection signal 244a of the fourth floor is “L”.
When the state changes from "H" to "H", the forcible resetting means 28 shown in FIG.
The output of the OR gate 29 also changes from "L" to "H", and the output of the AND gate 33 also changes from "L" to "H".
At the same time that the counting of the elapsed time of the timer 30 is started, the output of the timer 30 becomes "H", and the temporary release valid signal 28a is eventually set to "H" via the OR gate 34.

Thereafter, it is assumed that the passenger of the exclusive card leaves the elevator hall without operating the hall button on the first floor. In this case, since the hall call on the first floor is not registered, the elevator car remains stopped on the third floor. If such a state continues for 20 seconds, the output of the timer 30 changes from “H” to “L”. On the other hand, the output of the AND gate 32 is “L”
Therefore, the output of the timer 31 is also “L”.
Therefore, the output signal of the OR gate 34, that is, the temporary release valid signal 28a changes from "H" to "L". As a result,
Since the input signal at the point R2 of the storage circuit 23 in FIG. 6 changes from "H" to "L", the contents of the read signal 11a stored in the storage circuit 23 are cleared, and the floor signal 2 on the fourth floor is eventually obtained.
44a is set to "L" again. Therefore, even if another general passenger registers the hall call on the first floor and calls the elevator car after this, the storage contents of the storage circuit 23 are already cleared and the floor signal 244a on the fourth floor is "L". Therefore, there is no worry that the general passenger will register a car call on the fourth floor.

When the passenger of the exclusive card operates the hall button on the first floor 10 seconds after the card reading means 11 is operated, the first floor ascending call signal 361a changes from "L" to "H".
, The output of the NOT gate 35 is “L”, AND
The output of the gate 33 also becomes “L”, and the output of the timer 30 eventually changes from “H” to “L”. On the other hand, AND gate 32
Changes from “L” to “H”, the output of the timer 31 changes from “L” to “H”. Eventually, the output signal of the OR gate 34, that is, the temporary release valid signal 28a is kept at "H". If the elevator car cannot reach the first floor for some reason even after three minutes have passed since the first floor ascending call registration, the output of the timer 31 changes from “H” to “L”, and the storage contents of the storage circuit 23 are eventually stored. Will be cleared.

Thus, the second and third embodiments of the second embodiment are described.
According to the measures described in the above, the validity period of the temporary release operation is determined by determining whether or not the passenger holding the dedicated card has registered the hall call, and determines the validity period of the temporary release operation. If not, it is possible to prevent an unrelated passenger from registering a car call on a specific floor.

Further, in the system using the waiting-standby detecting means as in the fourth measure of the second embodiment, it is determined whether or not the passenger holding the dedicated card has entered the elevator hall to determine whether or not there is an intention to use the elevator. Then, the validity period of the temporary release operation is determined, and it is possible to prevent an unrelated passenger from registering a car call on a specific floor when a passenger of the dedicated card does not use the elevator. It should be noted that an output signal from the above-mentioned waiting detection means (which becomes "H" when a waiting customer is detected) may be used instead of the one-time upward call signal 361a in FIG.

Since the storage circuit 23 does not update the storage contents even if a new read signal 11a is input unless the valid period of the temporary release operation has expired, the storage circuit 23 determines whether the elevator car arrives. Unless some requirement terminates the currently input temporary release operation, the passenger with another exclusive card will not be able to go to the destination floor forever. In this regard, in the third countermeasure of the second embodiment, since the upper limit is set for the validity period when the hall call is registered, the same effect as the second countermeasure of the second embodiment is provided. In addition, passengers with other dedicated cards can also use the elevator.

Further, in the method using the waiting-for-waiting detecting means as in the fifth measure of the second embodiment, the intention was to use the elevator at first, but the idea was changed on the way (ie, When exiting from the elevator hall is detected, the temporary release operation is terminated, and the passenger using another dedicated card can use the elevator earlier than the fourth measure of the second embodiment. You can decide whether to get it.

As described above, the elevator control apparatus according to the third and fourth embodiments includes the destination buttons 1a to 8a on the first to eighth floors provided on the car operation panel 9 in the elevator car, and 1st to 8th floor destination registration lights 1b to 8b which are built in buttons 1a to 8a and indicate that a car call on the floor corresponding to the 1st to 8th floor destination buttons 1a to 8a is registered.
A well-known service prohibition means 10 for outputting car call registration prohibition commands 101a to 108a for preventing car call registration on a specific floor, and controlling the operation of the elevator car to make the elevator car respond to the car call and the hall call. A car control means 14; a well-known card reading means 11 which is provided at any one of an elevator hall, an entrance near the elevator hall, and an entrance of a building and reads contents recorded on a dedicated card; And outputs temporary release commands 121a to 128a for temporarily releasing car call registration prohibition on the detected floor, and temporarily release commands 121a to 128a.
The temporary call canceling unit 12 for invalidating the temporary canceling operation by a predetermined invalidation command from the forced resetting unit 28 described below before output of the card resetting unit 28, and the car call by the predetermined condition being satisfied after the card reading unit 11 operates. Forcible resetting means 28 for outputting an invalidation command for invalidating the temporary release operation of registration prohibition, and destination registration lights 1b to 8b serving as destination display means for displaying the destination floor temporarily released in the elevator car.
In response to the operation of the destination buttons 1a to 8a and the presence or absence of the car call registration prohibition commands 101a to 108a, car call registration is performed, the destination registration lamps 1b to 8b are turned on, and the temporary release commands 121a to 128a are The car call registration prohibition commands 101a to 108a on the corresponding floor according to the request
And a car call registration means 13 for enabling the car call registration by operating the destination buttons 1a to 8a and displaying the temporary release floor on the destination registration lights 1b to 8b (destination display means).

That is, in the elevator control devices of the third and fourth embodiments, the card reading means 11 reads the floor stored in the dedicated card and issues temporary release commands 121a to 128a to the detected floor. The car call registration prohibition commands 101a to 108a of the floors that have been output and detected are invalidated to enable car call registration by operating the destination buttons 1a to 8a in the elevator car, and the destination registration lights 1b to in the elevator car. 8b (destination display means) displays a temporary release floor, and invalidates the temporary release commands 121a to 128a when it is determined that the passenger of the special card does not use the elevator after the operation of the card reading means 11. It is.

Accordingly, the user of the special card can read the stored contents of the card by the card reading means 11 to know the floor on which the car call can be registered with the card, and can easily find the floor inside the elevator car without being confused. Can operate the desired destination buttons 1a to 8a of the elevator, so that the operation of the elevator can be restricted so that only a specific card holder can go to a specific floor. Become. In addition, even when the passenger of the special card does not use the elevator after the operation of the card reading means 11, it is possible to restrict the outsider from entering the specific floor, and when the passenger of the special card does not use the elevator. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a car call registration on a specific floor by an unrelated passenger, so that the operation of the elevator can be more reliably restricted so that only a specific card holder can go to a specific floor.

In each of the first to fourth embodiments, the destination display means for displaying the floor on which the prohibition of the registration of the car call is temporarily released and the destination registration lamp for displaying the registration of the car call are also used. When displaying the temporarily released floor, the corresponding destination registration light is displayed in a different display form (flashing) than when the car call was registered. It is not limited. For example, the destination registration light and the destination display means are installed side by side,
Both the destination registration lamp and the destination display means may be built in the destination button and turned on separately. In addition, various methods are conceivable, such as installing a display on the car operation panel 9 and displaying a temporarily released floor with characters. Further, the difference may be easily recognized by changing the lighting color of the destination display means and the lighting color of the destination registration lamp.

<Fifth Embodiment> In each of the above embodiments, a case has been described in which the prohibition of registration of a car call is temporarily released by a dedicated card. However, the prohibition of registration of a destination call by a destination button provided in an elevator hall is described here. Is temporarily canceled with a dedicated card as a fifth embodiment with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of an elevator control device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. In the drawings, the same reference numerals and symbols as those in the above-described embodiments denote the same or corresponding components as those in the above-described embodiments.

In the figure, reference numeral 50 denotes a hall operating panel provided in an elevator hall, and 501a to 508a denote first to eighth floors for registering destination calls on the first to eighth floors provided on the hall operating panel 50, respectively. Destination buttons 501b to 508b are installed in destination buttons 501a to 508a of the first to eighth floors, respectively, and are destination registration lights of the first to eighth floors that indicate that a destination call is registered. Reference numeral 508c denotes a destination button operation signal for the first to eighth floors which becomes “H” only when the destination buttons 501a to 508a for the first to eighth floors are operated. Destination registration lamps 501b to 508b on the first to eighth floors are also used as destination display means for displaying a floor (temporarily released floor) for which the prohibition of registration of a destination call has been temporarily released.

Reference numeral 51 denotes a destination call registration means, which is located on the first floor to 8th.
Floor destination button operation signals 501c to 508c, destination call registration prohibition commands 101a to 108a, and temporary release command 121a
When the destination call is registered as a car call upon arrival of the elevator car, the registration of the destination call is canceled. Further, the destination call registration means 51 controls lighting of the destination registration lamps 501b to 508b on the first to eighth floors in accordance with the registration state of the destination call and the temporary release commands 121a to 128a for the first to eighth floors. 511a-
Reference numeral 518a denotes a destination call registration signal for the first to eighth floors, which is "H" when the destination call is registered, and "L" when the destination call is canceled. Reference numerals 511b to 518b indicate destination registration lamp lighting instructions for the first to eighth floors, which are "H" when the first to eighth floor destination registration lamps 501b to 508b are turned on, and "L" when they are turned off.

Reference numeral 36 denotes a hall call registration means. On the first floor, an up call is registered by destination call registration signals 511a to 518a and a first floor up call signal 361a is output. A hall call is registered according to a down button (not shown).

The card reading means 11 is provided on the hall operating panel 5.
0, and the temporary release means 12 is configured similarly to the temporary release means 12 shown in FIG. In addition, the car call registration means 13 receives the destination button operation signal 4c in FIG.
When the elevator car arrives at the first floor, a destination call registration signal 514a is inputted in parallel.

FIG. 9 is a circuit diagram showing the destination registering means for the fourth floor of the elevator control apparatus according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. The destination call registering means 51 of FIG. It is a call registration circuit. The destination call registration circuits on the other floors have the same configuration.

In the figure, reference numeral 61 denotes a periodic pulse signal 6
1a (for example, "H" for 0.5 seconds, "L" for 0.5 seconds)
Is a well-known periodic pulse generator, 62 is a NOT gate, 63 and 64 are OR gates, 65 to 67 are AND gates, and 68 is a memory which stores and outputs an "H" signal when it is input to the S point. When a "H" signal is input to the R point, the storage element is a flip-flop that resets the storage content to "L" even if the "H" signal is input to the S point.

Next, the operation of the elevator control device of this embodiment will be described. As in the first embodiment, when services on the 4th to 6th floors are prohibited, the number of passengers with a dedicated card permitting registration of destination calls on the 4th and 5th floors is 1
The case where the exclusive card is inserted into the card reading means 11 of the elevator hall on the floor, and then the destination button 504a on the fourth floor is operated will be described.

At this time, the temporary release means 12 sets the temporary release commands 124a and 125a for the fourth and fifth floors to "H" and outputs them, so that the destination call registration circuit for the fourth floor in FIG. A pulse generator 61, an AND gate 66,
And the OR gate 64, the destination registration light 504b on the fourth floor
Flashes. That is, since the output signal of the AND gate 66 repeats “H” and “L” in response to the pulse signal 61 a from the periodic pulse generator 61, the destination register lamp lighting command 514 b which is the output of the OR gate 64 Also "H"
And "L" are repeated, and the destination registration lamp 504b on the fourth floor starts blinking. Similarly, the destination registration lamp 505b on the fifth floor also starts blinking. In this way, the passenger is notified that he can go to the fourth or fifth floor and that the destination call registration is being accepted.

Destination registration lights 504b, 505 on the fourth and fifth floors
When the passenger of the exclusive card operates the destination button 504a on the fourth floor and the destination button operation signal 504c becomes "H" while "b" is blinking, the temporary release command 124a becomes "H" and the O
Since the output of the R gate 63 is also “H”, AND
The output of the gate 65 also becomes “H”, and the storage content of the storage element 68 becomes “H”. As a result, the destination call on the fourth floor is registered, and the destination call registration signal 514a is output as "H". In addition, the destination registration lamp lighting instruction 514b is also output as “H” via the OR gate 64, so that the destination registration lamp 504b on the fourth floor changes from blinking to lighting, and the fact that the destination call has been registered is indicated by the special card Inform passengers. At the same time, the hall call registration means 36 registers an up call on the first floor and calls the elevator car to the first floor. When the elevator car arrives at the first floor and stops, the destination call on the fourth floor is canceled by the AND gate 67, whereby the car call registration means 13 automatically registers the call as a fourth floor car call.

In this way, when a passenger having a special card for permitting access to a specific floor inserts the special card into the card reading means 11 of the elevator hall, the destination registration light of the specific floor is blinked. Since the passenger can be notified of the floor at which the destination call can be registered and the registrable period, the passenger can operate the destination button of the elevator hall without being confused.

As described above, the elevator control apparatus according to the present embodiment includes the destination buttons 501a to 508a on the first to eighth floors provided on the landing operation panel 50 of the elevator hall and the destination buttons 501a to 508a. It is 8 from the first floor
