Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an elevator hall display system and a display method for notifying a user that an elevator cannot be used during maintenance and inspection of the elevator.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional elevator hall display system determines whether or not the normal operation display mode is selected, and displays the current car position on the display unit if the normal operation display mode is selected. On the other hand, if it is determined that the mode is not the normal operation display mode, it is checked whether or not there is a maintenance operation display mode request, and if there is a maintenance operation display mode request, the fact is displayed on the display.
[0003]
The display processing method for displaying the maintenance operation when the maintenance operation display mode is requested here may be a flow display process, a character-by-character switching process, a reverse process, a flicker process, and the like. A method is adopted in which data is moved upward, downward, or laterally, and after the final display data, loops to the first display data again and repeats it. The flow rate of the display data is determined by a set flow rate parameter (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiment 1 FIG.
An elevator hall display system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a boarding / alighting platform of an elevator hall display system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
[0009]
In FIG. 1, a hall operation panel on the right side of the hall door 1 is provided with a hall digital indicator (landing display means) 2 and a hall button 3. This hall digital indicator 2 normally displays the current position (floor) of the elevator car, but is switched one by one at the time of maintenance inspection, for example, “te” “n” “ke” “n” “chi” By repeatedly displaying predetermined words such as “Yu” and “U” in sequence, the elevator user is made aware that “maintenance check is in progress”. The landing button 3 is for designating the destination direction of the elevator by the user's operation.
[0010]
In addition, the predetermined phrases to be fluidly displayed are not limited to the above, but are “ho” “shi” “yu” “te” “n” “ke” “n” “chi” “yu” “u”, etc. Also good.
[0011]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the elevator hall display system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
In FIG. 2, the maintenance / inspection mode setting switch 10 is attached to the elevator control panel 13, and generates a maintenance / inspection mode request signal for switching from the normal operation mode to the maintenance operation mode of the elevator in response to an ON operation of the maintenance staff. Output. Further, the maintenance inspection mode request signal may be output using the maintenance portable terminal device 14 carried by the maintenance staff.
[0012]
The elevator control panel 13 includes maintenance inspection mode determination means 11 and maintenance inspection display instruction means 12.
The maintenance / inspection mode determination means 11 determines that the maintenance / inspection mode is set by detecting the maintenance / inspection mode request signal output from the maintenance / inspection mode setting switch 10 and outputs a display switching command.
[0013]
The maintenance / inspection display instruction means 12 outputs a command for displaying the car position to the hall digital indicator 2 when no display switching command is received from the maintenance / inspection mode determination means 11, and the maintenance / inspection mode determination means 11 When the display switching command is received, a flow display command for displaying “te”, “n”, “ke”, “n”, “chi”, “yu”, “u” one character at a time is output to the hall digital indicator 2.
[0014]
However, the display instruction means 12 during maintenance check according to the first embodiment sets the display time of the character “te” to, for example, 5 seconds and makes the display time of other characters easy to understand. Is controlled to be 1 second.
[0015]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator hall display system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
[0016]
In FIG. 3, first, the maintenance / inspection mode determination means 11 of the elevator control panel 13 determines whether or not the maintenance / inspection mode is set (step 101). If the result of determination is that the maintenance inspection mode is in effect, the maintenance inspection display instruction means 12 selects a maintenance display character font (step 102). That is, a character font set in advance to be displayed at the time of maintenance is selected from a memory (not shown) in the elevator control panel 13.
[0017]
The maintenance / inspection display instruction means 12 determines whether or not the character font to be displayed on the hall digital indicator 2 is “the first character of the phrase” (step 103). If the character font to be displayed is “te” as a result of the determination, the first character “te” is displayed on the hall digital indicator 2 for a certain long time (for example, 5 seconds) (step 104).
[0018]
Next, the maintenance / inspection display instruction unit 12 determines whether or not the character font to be displayed is “the last character of the phrase” (step 105). As a result of the determination, if the character font to be displayed is “U”, the process ends.
[0019]
On the other hand, if the result of determination in step 101 is not maintenance inspection mode, a character font for car position display is selected (step 107). That is, a character font preset to be displayed during normal operation is selected from a memory (not shown) in the elevator control panel 13.
[0020]
If the character font to be displayed is not “te” as a result of the determination in step 103, the character font (character font other than “te”) is used as the hall digital indicator 2 for a certain short time (for example, 1 second). Display (step 106) and proceed to step 105.
[0021]
If it is determined in step 105 that the character font indicated by the maintenance / inspection display instruction means 12 is not “the last character of the phrase”, that is, the character font “c”, steps 103 to 106 are repeated again.
[0022]
The state displayed on the hall digital indicator 7 by the operation | movement flowchart shown in FIG. 3 is demonstrated. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of character fonts displayed on the hall digital indicator of the elevator hall display system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the maintenance / inspection mode, FIG. "Is displayed for a predetermined long time.
[0023]
In this flow display, the display digital indicator 2 is switched and displayed one character font at a time. When the first character font “te” flows to the hall digital indicator 2, it is displayed for 5 seconds, and the next character font “n” is displayed. To the last character font “U” are displayed for one second.
[0024]
As described above, according to the elevator hall display system according to the present invention, when the first character font “te” flows to the hall digital indicator 2, it is displayed for 5 seconds, and from the next character font “n” to the last. Since the character font “U” is displayed for one second at a time, it is easy to recognize the beginning of the phrase, and the user can be surely notified that the maintenance check is in progress.
[0025]
In the elevator hall display system according to the first embodiment, when the character font displayed on the hall indicator 2 during the maintenance inspection is “te” of the first character font of the displayed phrase, other characters are displayed. By displaying it for a long time compared to the font, it made it easy to recognize the displayed word or phrase, but it is not limited to this, for example, when displaying the first character “te”, only the display of this character font is reversed The same effect can be obtained even if processing or flicker processing is performed.
[0026]
【The invention's effect】
According to the elevator hall display system according to the present invention, the maintenance / inspection display instruction means displays the first character font only when the character font to be displayed by the hall display means is the first character font of the predetermined phrase. Since the display time is longer than the display time of other character fonts, it is easy to recognize the beginning of the phrase, and the user can be surely notified that the maintenance check is being performed.
