For example, in Patent Document 1, passengers' getting on and off time is detected by a photoelectric device provided at the lower part of a landing door, and when the getting on and off time is long, it is determined to be an elderly person, etc. An elevator device that performs control to increase the non-interference time of a door is described.

特開平5−278977号公報(第9頁等)Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-278777 (page 9, etc.)

しかしながら、単にドアの開閉速度を遅くしたり、ドアの不干渉時間を長くしたりするだけでは、高齢者や身体障害者などにとって利用しやすいエレベーター装置と必ずしもいえなかった。   However, simply by slowing the door opening / closing speed or lengthening the non-interference time of the door, the elevator device is not necessarily easy to use for the elderly or the physically handicapped.

本発明の目的は、高齢者や身体障害者などが、より利用しやすいエレベーター装置を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator apparatus that is more easily used by elderly people, physically disabled people, and the like.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明は、乗りかごを乗降する乗客の検知を行う光電装置と、音声により乗客への指示を行う音声案内手段を備えたエレベーター装置において、前記光電装置での乗客検知時間が所定時間よりも短い場合は、前記音声案内手段による乗客への指示を行わず、前記乗客検知時間が前記所定時間よりも長い場合は、前記音声案内手段による乗客への指示を行うようにした。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to an elevator apparatus comprising a photoelectric device for detecting passengers getting on and off a car and voice guidance means for giving instructions to the passengers by voice. When the detection time is shorter than the predetermined time, the voice guidance means does not give an instruction to the passenger, and when the passenger detection time is longer than the predetermined time, the voice guidance means gives an instruction to the passenger. I made it.

本発明によれば、高齢者や身体障害者などが、より利用しやすいエレベーター装置を提供することができる。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, an elderly person, a disabled person, etc. can provide the elevator apparatus which is easier to use.

以下、本発明の実施例について、図面に基づいて説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

図1は、本発明の実施例を示すエレベーター装置の全体構成図である。本実施例のエレベーター装置は、視覚障害者を考慮して点字銘板を用いた操作盤1が乗り場側に設けられている。この操作盤1は、乗りかごを呼び登録する乗り場ボタン2aと、視覚障害者などの身体障害者が乗り場ボタン2aの代わりに音声により乗りかごを呼び登録する音声登録手段としてのマイクロホン13を有している。ここで、乗り場ボタン2aで呼びが登録されると、応答ランプ2bが連続点灯し、マイクロホン13で呼びが登録されると、応答ランプ2bが点滅点灯するようになっている。   FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of an elevator apparatus showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the elevator apparatus according to the present embodiment, an operation panel 1 using a Braille nameplate is provided on the landing side in consideration of a visually impaired person. This operation panel 1 has a landing button 2a for calling and registering a car and a microphone 13 as voice registration means for a physically handicapped person such as a visually handicapped person to call and register the car by voice instead of the landing button 2a. ing. Here, when a call is registered with the landing button 2a, the response lamp 2b is continuously lit. When a call is registered with the microphone 13, the response lamp 2b is lit in a blinking manner.

次に、乗りかご側には、視覚障害者を考慮して点字銘板を用いた操作盤3が設けられている。この操作盤3は、行先階呼び登録を行うかご内ボタン4aと、身体障害者がかご内ボタン4aの代わりに音声により行先階を認識して行先階呼び登録を行う音声登録手段としてのマイクロホン14を有している。ここで、かご内ボタン4aで呼びが登録されると、応答ランプ4bが連続点灯し、マイクロホン14で呼びが登録されると、応答ランプ
4bが点滅点灯するようになっている。
Next, an operation panel 3 using a braille nameplate is provided on the car side in consideration of the visually impaired. The operation panel 3 includes a car button 4a for performing destination floor call registration, and a microphone 14 as voice registration means for a disabled person to recognize the destination floor by voice instead of the car button 4a and register the destination floor call. have. Here, when a call is registered with the car button 4a, the response lamp 4b is continuously lit. When a call is registered with the microphone 14, the response lamp 4b is lit in a blinking manner.

また、乗りかごのドアには、一対の光電装置5が取付けられており、乗りかごを乗降する乗客の検知を行えるように構成されている。また、乗客への指示を行うための音声案内手段としてスピーカ12が設けられており、ナビゲーション、例えば、到着した階床やドアの開閉などを知らせることが可能となっている。   In addition, a pair of photoelectric devices 5 is attached to the door of the car so that passengers getting on and off the car can be detected. In addition, a speaker 12 is provided as voice guidance means for giving instructions to passengers, and it is possible to notify navigation, for example, opening / closing of an arrived floor or a door.

更に、乗り場側の操作盤1により登録された呼び信号は、方向検知回路15を経由して、乗りかごの運転制御やドアの開閉制御を行うマイクロコンピュータ9へ送られる。一方、かご内の操作盤3により登録された呼び信号は、行先検知回路16を経由して、マイクロコンピュータ9へ送られる。そして、光電装置5からの信号は、回線6を介して乗客検知回路7に至り、この乗客検知回路7で得られた信号がマイクロコンピュータ9へ送られる。   Further, the call signal registered by the operation panel 1 on the landing side is sent via the direction detection circuit 15 to the microcomputer 9 that performs operation control of the car and door opening / closing control. On the other hand, the call signal registered by the operation panel 3 in the car is sent to the microcomputer 9 via the destination detection circuit 16. The signal from the photoelectric device 5 reaches the passenger detection circuit 7 via the line 6, and the signal obtained by the passenger detection circuit 7 is sent to the microcomputer 9.

ここで、乗客検知回路7は、光電装置5での乗客検知時間が第1の所定時間よりも短い場合、健常者が乗降していると判定する。乗客検知時間が第1の所定時間よりも長く第2の所定時間よりも短い場合、乗客検知回路7は、高齢者が乗降していると判定する。乗客検知時間が第2の所定時間よりも長い場合、乗客検知回路7は、身体障害者が乗降していると判定する。   Here, when the passenger detection time in the photoelectric device 5 is shorter than the first predetermined time, the passenger detection circuit 7 determines that a healthy person is getting on and off. When the passenger detection time is longer than the first predetermined time and shorter than the second predetermined time, the passenger detection circuit 7 determines that an elderly person is getting on and off. When the passenger detection time is longer than the second predetermined time, the passenger detection circuit 7 determines that a physically handicapped person is getting on and off.

このように、方向検知回路15,行先検知回路16,乗客検知回路7から送られた信号に基づいてマイクロコンピュータ9は、ドア制御回路8とドア駆動回路11を経由してドアを開閉させると共に、スピーカ12の動作を制御する。   Thus, based on the signals sent from the direction detection circuit 15, the destination detection circuit 16, and the passenger detection circuit 7, the microcomputer 9 opens and closes the door via the door control circuit 8 and the door drive circuit 11, and The operation of the speaker 12 is controlled.

以下、マイクロコンピュータ9に格納された中央演算処理装置10による動作フローを、図2に基づいて説明する。   Hereinafter, an operation flow by the central processing unit 10 stored in the microcomputer 9 will be described with reference to FIG.

まず、乗り場ボタン2a又はマイクロホン13で乗りかごの呼びが登録されると、その呼び登録があった階へ乗りかごが移動し、停止するとドアが開く。   First, when a car call is registered with the landing button 2a or the microphone 13, the car moves to the floor where the call is registered, and when it stops, the door opens.

そして、光電装置5が予め定められた健常者の検知時間を検知した場合、すなわち、乗客検知回路7が健常者の乗り込みを判定した場合、音声案内手段による乗客への指示は行わず、行先階呼び登録はかご内ボタン4aで行うようにし、通常と同じ速度でドアが閉じる。その後、乗りかごが行先階へ到着するとドアが開き、通常のドア開放時間が経過した後に、通常の速度でドアが閉じて待機状態となる。このときも、音声案内手段による乗客への指示は行わない。   When the photoelectric device 5 detects a predetermined healthy person detection time, that is, when the passenger detection circuit 7 determines that the healthy person is boarded, the voice guidance means does not give instructions to the passenger, and the destination floor Call registration is performed with the car inside button 4a, and the door closes at the same speed as usual. Thereafter, when the car arrives at the destination floor, the door opens, and after the normal door opening time has elapsed, the door closes at a normal speed and enters a standby state. Also at this time, no instruction is given to the passenger by the voice guidance means.

次に、光電装置5が予め定められた高齢者の検知時間を検知した場合、すなわち、乗客検知回路7が高齢者の乗り込みを判定した場合、音声案内手段による乗客への指示を通常より大きな音量で行い、行先階呼び登録はかご内ボタン4aで行うようにし、健常者検知時よりも遅い速度でドアが閉じる。その後、乗りかごが行先階へ到着するとドアが開き、健常者検知時よりも長いドア開放時間が経過した後に、健常者検知時よりも遅い速度でドアが閉じて待機状態となる。このとき、音声案内手段による乗客への指示を通常よりも大きな音量で行う。   Next, when the photoelectric device 5 detects a predetermined elderly person detection time, that is, when the passenger detection circuit 7 determines the elderly person's boarding, the voice guidance means gives an instruction to the passenger at a volume higher than normal. The destination floor call registration is performed with the in-car button 4a, and the door closes at a slower speed than when a healthy person is detected. After that, when the car arrives at the destination floor, the door is opened, and after a longer door opening time than when a healthy person is detected, the door is closed at a slower speed than when a healthy person is detected, and enters a standby state. At this time, the voice guidance means instructs the passenger at a volume higher than usual.

更に、光電装置5が予め定められた身体障害者の検知時間を検知した場合、すなわち、乗客検知回路7が身体障害者の乗り込みを判定した場合、音声案内手段による乗客への指示を通常の音量で行い、行先階床呼び登録はマイクロホン14で行えるようにし、高齢者検知時よりも遅い速度でドアが閉じる。その後、乗りかごが行先階へ到着するとドアが開き、高齢者検知時よりも長いドア開放時間が経過した後に、高齢者検知時よりも遅い速度でドアが閉じて待機状態となる。このとき、音声案内手段による乗客への指示を通常の音量で行う。尚、身体障害者の乗り込みを判定した場合、マイクロホン14で呼び登録された行先階まで直行運転するようにし、身体障害者を優先的にサービスさせても良い。   Further, when the photoelectric device 5 detects a predetermined detection time for the physically handicapped person, that is, when the passenger detection circuit 7 determines that the handicapped person is boarded, an instruction to the passenger by the voice guidance means is set to a normal volume. The destination floor call registration can be performed with the microphone 14, and the door closes at a slower speed than when elderly people are detected. Thereafter, when the car arrives at the destination floor, the door opens, and after a longer door opening time than when the elderly person is detected, the door closes at a slower speed than when the elderly person is detected, and enters a standby state. At this time, the voice guidance means instructs the passenger at a normal volume. When it is determined that a physically handicapped person is boarding, direct driving may be performed up to the destination floor that is called and registered by the microphone 14 so that the handicapped person can be preferentially serviced.

本実施例によれば、乗り場ボタンやかご内ボタンを健常者と障害者等が兼用するエレベーター装置であっても、健常者と障害者等のそれぞれにとって、より利用しやすいサービスを提供することができる。また、健常者がエレベーター装置を利用する場合には音声のナビゲーションを行わないため、住宅等の夜間の騒音が最小限に抑えられるという利点がある。更に、高齢者と身体障害者とを判別し、高齢者がエレベーター装置を利用する場合にはナビゲーションの音を大きくしたので、高齢者であってもナビゲーションの音を聞き取りやすいという利点もある。そして、身体障害者が利用する場合には、音声による呼び登録や直行運転を行うので、障害者にとっても利用しやすいエレベーター装置となる。   According to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a service that is easier to use for each of the healthy person and the handicapped person even if the elevator button is used for both the healthy person and the handicapped person using the landing button and the car button. it can. Further, when a healthy person uses an elevator apparatus, voice navigation is not performed, so that there is an advantage that night noise in a house or the like can be minimized. Further, since the elderly person and the physically handicapped person are discriminated and the elderly person uses the elevator apparatus, the navigation sound is increased. Therefore, there is an advantage that even the elderly person can easily hear the navigation sound. And when a physically handicapped person uses, since the call registration and direct driving | operation by voice are performed, it becomes an elevator apparatus which is easy for a handicapped person to use.

尚、本実施例では、光電装置5を用いて、健常者,高齢者及び身体障害者を判別したが、その他の判定手段を用いることも可能である。例えば、乗り場ボタン2a又はかご内ボタン4aの押圧時間を計測し、それに基づいて乗客を判別する方法がある。具体的には、乗り場ボタン2a又はかご内ボタン4aを押圧している時間が第1の所定時間よりも短い場合は、健常者と判定する。また、第1の所定時間よりも長く第2の所定時間よりも短い場合は、高齢者と判定し、第2の所定時間よりも短い場合は、身体障害者と判定する。更には、マイクロホン13,14による呼び登録があった場合に、身体障害者と判定し、その後は身体障害者向けの運転を行うようにしても良い。   In this embodiment, the photoelectric device 5 is used to discriminate between a healthy person, an elderly person, and a physically handicapped person, but other judging means can also be used. For example, there is a method of measuring the pressing time of the landing button 2a or the car button 4a and discriminating passengers based on the measured time. Specifically, if the time during which the landing button 2a or the car button 4a is pressed is shorter than the first predetermined time, it is determined that the person is a healthy person. In addition, when it is longer than the first predetermined time and shorter than the second predetermined time, it is determined as an elderly person, and when it is shorter than the second predetermined time, it is determined as a physically handicapped person. Furthermore, when call registration is performed by the microphones 13 and 14, it may be determined that the person is physically disabled, and thereafter, driving for the disabled person may be performed.
