DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention particularly relates to a control device for a domestic elevator.

(Prior Art) In recent years, land prices have soared in and around large cities, making it difficult to build houses with large areas. Moreover, the aging of society is progressing due to the progress of medical treatment.

Under these circumstances, it is necessary to raise the floor of individual houses, and three-story houses are being built in wooden houses.

Under such circumstances, the upper and lower transportation means are required even in the home, and the necessity is high especially in the homes where the elderly and disabled persons are present.

Due to such a social background, household elevators have been attracting attention and have already been put into practical use in some luxury homes.

However, household elevators were originally used from the need of welfare, and the purpose was to spread them widely by simplifying their functions as much as possible. Was.
However, as a trend in recent years, since it has been applied to high-class housing, there is a demand for higher-grade functions and designs. Especially for doors, electric type is used instead of the conventional manual type. Is being adopted.

However, in the domestic elevator, even if the elevator doors are electrically opened and closed, they are not fully automatic like ordinary elevators in high-rise buildings, but a method of opening and closing doors by push-button operation of baskets and halls. Has an advantage in terms of safety.

An example of such a conventional household electric elevator control device is shown in FIG.

The conventional electric conduction type elevator control device shown in FIG. 2 has an in-car call input switch 2a to 2d, a basket inner door open switch 3 and a basket inner door close switch 4 on an in-car operation panel 1 installed in an elevator car. Is installed.

A hall operation panel 5 is provided in the hall on each floor, and the hall call switch 6 is provided on the hall operation panel 5.
A hall door open switch 7 and a hall door close switch 8 are provided.

The elevator has a door control circuit 9, an elevator control signal input circuit 10, an elevator operation control circuit 11, and a door drive circuit 1.

That is, by operating any of the in-car call input switches 2a to 2d provided on the in-car operation panel 1 or the hall call switch 6 of the hall operation panel 5, the operation signal is input to the operation control circuit 11. And a signal for detecting the position of the elevator in the operation control circuit 11 is inputted from the elevator control signal input circuit 10, the current position of the elevator, the direction in which the driver wants to drive, the floor to stop, etc. are determined, and the elevator is automatically operated. .

When the vehicle stops at the target floor, the door open / close permission signal is output to the door control circuit 9.

The door control circuit 9 allows the operation signal of the door opening switch 3 of the in-car operation panel 1 to be input, and the door is opened by the in-car operation.

Then, after the user gets off, the door closing signal is input to the door control circuit 9 by operating the door closing switch 8 on the hall operation panel 5 on the hall side, and the door control circuit 9 causes the door driving circuit 12 to enter. A door closing command signal 15 is given to the electric motor for driving the door.

When opening the door of the elevator in the hall, the door may be opened by operating the door opening switch 7 on the hall operation panel 5 so that the elevator is stopped at the floor where the door opening switch 7 is pressed. When the operation control circuit 11 judges, it outputs a door open / close permission signal to the door control circuit 9,
In, the input of the operation signal from the door opening switch 7 is permitted, the door opening command signal 14 is sent to the door driving circuit 12, and the door driving electric motor 13 is driven to open the door.

When the user who gets into the car closes the door, he / she can operate the car door close switch 4 on the car operation panel 1 to close the door in the same manner as described above. it can.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in such a conventional elevator control device, the user does not need an operating force for opening and closing the door because the door driving electric motor drives the opening and closing of the door. The operation is complicated, and it is difficult to distinguish it from the driving operation of the elevator. In some cases, the door opening / closing operation may be forgotten. Further, since the basket call and hall call buttons and the door open / close switch are provided side by side, there is a problem that the operation is likely to be erroneous.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and is an elevator control capable of notifying a user of a door opening / closing operation in an easy-to-understand manner and effectively preventing erroneous operation or forgetting operation. The purpose is to provide a device.

[Configuration of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) An elevator control device according to the present invention includes an in-car call input switch installed in a car, a hall call switch for each floor installed in each floor hall, and When the indicator lights provided on each of the call input switch in the basket and the hall call switch and the hall call switch on a certain floor are operated, the indicator light of the hall call switch on the floor that generated the hall call responds to the hall call. Then, the elevator is continuously lit until it moves to the hall call generation floor, and it is switched to blinking when the elevator moves to the hall call generation floor, and the call input switch in the car was operated while the elevator was stopped. At the same time, the indicator light of the call input switch in the car blinks, and the call input switch in the basket is operated again while the indicator light is blinking. When the hall call switch is operated again while the indicator lamp of the hall call switch is blinking, the elevator door is opened and the indicator lamp of the call input switch inside the cage is blinking. And a door control circuit for closing the elevator door when the in-car call input switch is operated again.

(Operation) In the elevator control device of the present invention, by operating any one of the in-car call input switches or the operation of the hall call switch, operation control up to the floor at which the operation input is made is performed. Then, when the hall call switch on a floor is operated, the blinking control circuit causes the indicator light of the hall call switch on the hall call generation floor to move to the hall call generation floor on which the elevator responds to the hall call. During this period, the lights are continuously turned on, and when the elevator moves to the floor where the hall is called, the lights are switched on and off. Therefore, when the user operates the hall call switch again when the indicator light of the hall call switch is switched from continuous lighting to blinking lighting, the door control circuit considers that the door opening operation has been performed and the elevator door is operated. Open and the user tries to get into the basket.

When the user gets into an elevator car that has stopped on a certain floor and operates the call input switch inside the car on the floor that he / she wants to go to, the blinking control circuit blinks the indicator light inside the call input switch on the operated floor. Turn on the light. Therefore, when the user operates the same basket call input switch again, the blinking control circuit switches the indicator light that had been blinking until then to continuous lighting, and at the same time, the door control circuit considers that the door closing operation has been performed. Close the door to allow the elevator to leave.

In this way, a series of operations required in response to the call registration in the basket or the hall call registration, that is, the door closing operation and the subsequent operation to the registered floor for the call registration in the basket, and the hall call For registration, a series of operations such as elevator operation up to the hall calling floor and opening the door following the stop of the elevator on a predetermined floor, etc., are carried out in the basket call registration operation when the call input switch in the basket blinks. Alternatively, it can be automatically performed by the hall call operation when the hall call switch is displayed blinking.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which a number of call input switches 2a to 2d and call doors are opened inside the car on the operation panel 1 inside the car installed according to the number of stop floors. A switch 3 is provided, and hall call switches 6a to 6d are provided on the hall operation panels 5a to 5d installed in the halls on each floor.
And hall door closing switches 8a to 8d are provided.

Each of the door control circuit 9, the elevator control signal input circuit 10, the operation control circuit 11, the door drive circuit 12, and the door drive motor 13 has the same configuration as that of the conventional example shown in FIG.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the operation signals from the in-car call input switches 2a to 2d on the in-car operation panel 1 and the hall call switches 6a to 5d on each floor hall operation panel 5a to 5d.
6d is provided with a call input registration circuit 20 for registering the call input signal and exchanging signals with the operation control circuit 11, and a blinking control circuit 21 for blinking and controlling continuous lighting of indicator lamps provided in each switch described later. ing.

In addition, the operation panel 1 in the basket and each hall operation panel
Each of 5a to 5d is provided with an in-car display panel 22, and hall display panels 25a to 25d, and in-car call input switches 2a to 2d are provided on the in-car display panel 22 so as to brightly indicate the operation button of each There is a car interior door open indicator light 24 that brightly displays the registration lights 23a to 23d and the car interior door open switch, and hall call registrations that brightly display the hall call switches 6a to 6d on each hall display panel 25a to 25d. Halls 26a to 26d and hall doors closing switches 8a to 8d are installed to brightly display hall doors closing indicators 27a to 27d, respectively.

The blinking control circuit 21 controls the call registration lights 23
a to 23d and hall call registration lights 26a to 26d,
Elevator stop input from the operation control circuit 11 to the blinking control circuit 21, these registration lights 23a to 23d by the operation signal 28,
Blinking of 26a to 26d and continuous lighting control are performed.

Reference numeral 29 denotes a door opening / closing indicator light driving circuit, which responds to an operation signal given from the car inside door opening switch 3 and the hall door closing switches 8a to 8d through the door control circuit 9 to open the inside door indicator 2 of the car.
4. It is designed to control the lighting of the hall door closing indicators 27a to 27d.

Next, the operation of the elevator control device having the above configuration will be described.

When using the elevator, any one of the hall call switches 6a to 6d provided on the operation panels 5a to 5d on the floor where the user stands is to be operated.
By this hall call operation, a hall call signal is input to the call input registration circuit 20, and the call input registration circuit 20 informs the operation control circuit 11 of the call input.

In the operation control circuit 11, based on the input relating to the operating state of the elevator from the elevator control signal input circuit 10, if the response to the above input is possible, drive the elevator to the floor where the hall call was input. .

If a hall call is registered at the same time, a registration signal is sent from the operation control circuit 11 to the call input registration circuit 20, and the call input registration circuit 20 blinks via the blinking control circuit 21 to display the in-car display panel 22, the hall. One of the hall call registration lights 26a to 26d on the floor corresponding to the registered hall call is continuously turned on by being sent to the display panels 25a to 25d.

Then, when the elevator moves to the floor where the hall was called and stops at that floor, the stop signal is given from the operation control circuit 11 to the blinking control circuit 21 as the blinking command signal 28, and the blinking control circuit 21 continuously lights up until then. The hall call registration lights 26a to 26d corresponding to the stopped floor halls are switched to the blinking display.

Therefore, the user waiting in the hall in this way can call the hall call registration lights 26a to 26d on the floor on which he is standing.
If the hall call switches 6a to 6d that are brightly illuminated by the registration light are operated again when is blinking, this hall call operation signal is input to the door control circuit 9 as a door opening command signal. Therefore, the door control circuit 9 outputs the door opening command signal 14 if the door opening / closing permission signal is given from the operation control circuit 11 because the elevator is safely stopped.
The door drive circuit 12 drives the door drive motor 13 to open the door.

When the door of the elevator is opened, the user will get into the car, but get in the car and go to the destination floor that he / she wants to go to.
.. through 2d, this in-car call operation causes one of the in-car call registration lights 23a to 23d corresponding to the operated destination floor to start blinking.

Then, when the user again operates the call switches 2a to 2d on the floor he / she wants to go to, the blinking of the in-car call registration lights 23a to 23d is switched to continuous lighting, which indicates that the call has been registered.

At the same time, the above-mentioned call registration input in the basket is input to the door control circuit 9, and the door control circuit 9 judges that the door is in the closed mode and gives a door close signal 15 to the door drive circuit 12 to output the door drive circuit.
Reference numeral 12 drives the door driving electric motor 13 to close the door, and when the door is completely closed, the operation control circuit 11 starts operation up to the destination floor.

When the elevator has stopped at a certain floor and door opening operation is required from the inside of the car or door closing operation is required from the hall side, the door inside door on the operation panel 1 is required. This is done by operating the open switch 3 or the hall door close switches 8a-8d of the hall operation panels 5a-5d. In conjunction with this door opening / closing operation, the door control circuit 9 via the door opening / closing indicator light drive circuit 29 causes the car interior door opening indicator light 24 or the hall door closing indicator lights 27a to 27d.
Either of them will be lit up during the door opening / closing operation.

In this way, in the elevator control device installed in the home, when the user performs the hall call or the call inside the basket operation, in order to inform both parties of the door opening / closing operation related to the hall call or the call inside the cage registration, The internal call input switch that brightly displays the internal call input switch or the hall call registration light blinks to notify both parties of the need for operation, and the internal call input that is brightly displayed by the blinking registration lights at the same time The door can be closed or opened by operating the switch or hall call switch.

Therefore, when a user calls a hall, the door opening operation required before getting into the car, and the door closing operation required before the user getting into the car before performing the call registration in the car are the same hall call. This can be done by operating the switch button and the call input switch button in the basket, and it is not necessary to require the user to perform the door opening operation from the hall side and the door closing operation from inside the basket, and the operation can be simplified. It will be.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the indicator lamp for displaying the hall call switch is displayed in a blinking manner, and the indicator lamp for displaying the in-car call input switch is also indicated in a blinking manner. By operating the call switch or the call input switch in the car, the door opening operation from the hall side and the door closing operation from the car can be performed by the same operation method as the normal hall call operation and in-car call input operation. Therefore, the operation of the user can be simplified, and the occurrence of forgetting operation and erroneous operation can be reduced.
