DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Attentive control device according to the present invention FIG.
A description will be given based on the embodiment shown in FIG.

[0010] A car number detection device 1 and a destination floor registration device 2 are provided, and the degree of congestion in the car is calculated and detected by the attention control device 3 from these devices, and a passenger behind the car gets off the registration device 2. The attentive guidance control device 3 predicts, and from these results, the in-car informing device 5 and the annunciator 6 notify the other passengers of this situation and request cooperation, and constitute the attentive control device 7.

The configuration of each of the above devices and their mutual functions will be further described.

The number of passengers is input from the car number detection device 1 and the destination floor of the passenger is input to the attentive guidance control device 3 from the destination floor registration device 2.

The attentive guidance control device 3 calculates the ratio of the number of passengers input from the number-of-cars detection device 1 to the maximum load set in the elevator car in advance, and determines whether the car is congested. . The congestion degree here is determined to be, for example, 80% or more of the maximum load.

[0014] Also, note of the number of occurrences and the occurrence time of their respective destination floors by Sakikai registration device 2 rather lines in the cage,
The elevator operation control device 4 receives a command from the destination floor registration device 2 going in the car and responds to one of the passenger's destination floors.
In addition, if the order of occurrence of the response floor is not the latest call, the attentive guidance control device 3 notifies the in-car notification device 5 that the passenger at the back of the car gets off.

Upon receiving the getting-off signal, the in-car informing device 5 informs the informing device 6 of, for example, "You can get off the back. If you are near the exit, please get off the elevator and wait."

When the elevator car arrives at the destination floor and the car door opens, a signal of landing at the destination floor is output from the elevator operation control device 4 to the destination floor registration device 2 going into the car, and the call for the arrival floor is deleted. .

Next, the basic operation of the attentive guidance control device 3 will be described with reference to a flowchart (FIG. 2).

An incoming call for a passenger is input from the in-car destination floor registration device 2 (step S1), and an occurrence order is added to each of the incoming calls (step S2).

The method of adding the order of occurrence of the destination call is, for example, a method of adding the order of occurrence in a normal manner or a method of recording the time of occurrence, etc., but is not particularly limited. .

Next, the number of passengers in the car is input from the car number detecting device 1 (step S3), and the congestion degree is calculated.

The method of calculation is the ratio of the number of passengers in the car to the maximum load previously set in the elevator car as described above. For example, the number of passengers in the car is 80% or more of the maximum load. I'll decide when. Also, the method of detecting the number of persons is based on load or ITV which is a well-known technique.
There is a method of directly counting the number of persons by image processing using a camera or the like, but there is no particular limitation.

When it is determined that the car is congested based on the calculation result obtained by the above method (step S4), there are a plurality of incoming calls in the car input in step S1 (step S5). When the elevator operation control device 4 informs that it is a response to the car call and that the call is already being decelerated (step S6) (step S6)
S7), the attention guidance control device 3 determines the order of occurrence of the answering call based on the order of occurrence of the car calls added in step S2, and considers the car notification device 5 only when it is not the latest call (step S8). Issue a guidance command (step
S9) The in-car notification device 5 notifies the in-car device 6 that the passenger at the back of the car gets off the car.

Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

Although this embodiment is obtained by adding a door opening time adjusting device 8 to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, this is a known device.

In FIG. 3, the number of passengers in the car from the car number detection device 1 to the attentive guidance control device 3, the destination floor of the passenger in the car from the destination floor registration device 2 going in the car, and the elevator operation control device 4 from the elevator operation control device 4. It is input that the response floor is the destination floor of the passenger in the car, respectively, and it is determined that the inside of the car is congested and the call of the response floor is not up to date, and the in-car notification device 5 and the door opening time are determined. A command is issued to the adjusting device 8 to notify the passenger inside the car that the passenger behind the elevator car gets off from the car internal alarm 6 and to extend the door opening time by, for example, about 5 seconds from the normal time.

Here, the signal from the elevator operation control device 4 to the door opening time adjusting device 8 is an automatic selection signal of the door opening time according to the type of call of each elevator, which is a known technique.

The operation of the attentive guidance control device 3 at this time will be described.

In the flow chart showing the basic operation of the apparatus (FIG. 4), a series of operations from step S1 to step S9 are the same as those in the above-described embodiment, and a call from a passenger in a car to a destination in the car is sent from the destination floor registration device 2 in the car. Enter (Step S1)
The occurrence order is individually added to the destination call (step S2). Next, the number of passengers in the car is input from the number-of-cars detecting device 1 (step S3). When it is determined that the car is congested (step S4), the destination floor in the car input in step S1 is There are more than one (step S5), and
It is a response to the car call (step S6), and when the elevator operation control device 4 notifies that the vehicle is already decelerating for the call (step S7), the attentive guidance control device 3 adds the car added in step S2. The order of occurrence of the answering call is determined based on the order of occurrence of the call, and only when the call is not the latest call (step S8), an instruction of a care guidance is issued to the in-car notification device 5 (step S9). In response to the fact that the vehicle has landed and the door has been opened from step 4 (step S10), a command to extend the door opening time is issued to the door opening time adjusting device 8 (step S11).

As described above, by extending the door opening time after issuing the attention alert, attention is paid to the passenger once getting out of the car.

Another embodiment of the present invention will be described (FIG. 5). This is an application example in the case shown in FIG.

Steps S1 to S11 are the same as those in the embodiment shown in FIG. When the attentive guidance control device 3 detects the satisfaction of the above-described conditions (from step S1 to step S1).
At step S8), an attentive guidance command is output to the in-car notification device 5 (step S9), and the elevator operation control device 4 responds to the car call and the door is opened (step S10). A command to extend the door opening time is issued to the device 8 (step S11).

[0032] Here, to enter the in-car passenger from the car in persons detector 1 again (step S12), the reduced-car passenger number once more and child detecting that it has increased again, near-car doorway It is detected that the passenger who was in the car once got out of the car and got on again (step S13), and outputs an attentive guidance command to the in-car notification device 5 (step S14).
By alerting the car alert device 6, for example, "Thank you very much," the attention is further increased.
