Description

  The present invention relates to a hall call device for an elevator hall provided in an elevator device used in a general house or a housing complex.

  Conventionally, elevator apparatuses have been installed not only in commercial facilities but also in apartment houses and ordinary houses, and in particular in ordinary houses, the installation has been progressing with the increase in the number of elderly people.

  On the other hand, these elevator devices are required to be installed by a specialist in the installation, and it is necessary to install power lines used for the elevator devices on the building side in advance. There is no particular need for a power source for the hall device provided in the vehicle. Generally, signal lines are routed from the control device in the elevator device, but the elevator device has a difference in height. In addition, it has been necessary to avoid the contact with an elevator car or the like in the hoistway.

For this reason, a power supply for a landing device that does not require much power is shown, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, in which a charging battery for a landing device is charged from an elevator car.
JP 2002-68615 A

  However, in the above prior art, since the elevator car must be landed and charged for a predetermined time to supply power to the rechargeable battery, for example, the period during which the elevator car is not landed on a specific floor is long. As a result, there was a possibility that a power source necessary for actual use could not be secured. Therefore, there has been a demand for a charging mechanism that can always secure a necessary charging amount even at least by an elevator calling device.

  This invention is invented in view of the said background art, The subject is providing the hall call apparatus provided with the charging mechanism which can charge with raising / lowering of an elevator car.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a hall call device according to claim 1 of the present invention is a hall call device provided in an elevator hall, the hall call device has a charging power supply unit, and the charging power supply unit includes has a supply unit for supplying a charge, the feed section is characterized that you supply a charge to the charging power supply unit to generate electricity is actuated by a movable equipment of the elevator apparatus passes by the elevator hall hall Calling device.

  In the hall call device according to claim 2 of the present invention, the movable equipment is an elevator car, and the supply unit is operated when the elevator car passes near the elevator hall.

  The hall call device according to claim 3 of the present invention is further characterized in that the operation of the supply unit by the elevator car is performed in a non-contact manner.

  The hall call device according to claim 1 of the present invention has a supply unit for supplying electric charge to the charging power supply unit, and the supply unit is operated by the movable equipment of the elevator device passing near the elevator hall. Therefore, charging can be performed by the operation of the elevator apparatus, that is, by raising and lowering the elevator car.

  In the hall call device according to claim 2 of the present invention, since the movable equipment is used as the elevator car, it always passes through the vicinity of the hall device, so that the configuration of the device according to the present invention can be made compact.

  In the hall call device according to claim 3 of the present invention, the supply unit can be operated in a non-contact manner, and the possibility of requiring maintenance such as failure and wear of the device can be reduced.

  The best mode of the present invention will be described in the following embodiments shown in FIGS.

  In the present embodiment, the hall call device 2 is provided in the elevator hall 1, and the hall call device 2 has a charging power supply unit 25 and has a supply unit 3 for supplying electric charge to the charging power supply unit 25. The supply unit 3 is a hall call device 2 that is actuated by the movable equipment 4 of the elevator device 5 that passes through the vicinity of the elevator hall 1.

  The movable equipment 4 is an elevator car 52, and the supply unit 3 is operated when the elevator car 52 passes through the vicinity of the elevator hall 1.

  In FIG. 1, the configuration of the present embodiment is made into a block and the configuration is outlined. The hall call device 2 includes an operation unit 21 including call buttons, a control unit 23 that receives operation information of the operation unit 21 and transmits information to the communication unit 24 as necessary, and wirelessly transmits call information and the like in the hoistway 51. And a charging power source 25 as a power source for operating the hall call device 2.

  The charging power supply unit 25 includes a secondary battery, an electric double layer capacitor, and the like, and is connected to a power generation unit (pinion gear 31) for charging when the amount of charge decreases. The movable equipment 4 is provided so as to be opposed to this, and the movable equipment 4 is provided with a power generation engagement portion (rack gear 41). The power generation is carried out in relation to the section (the chain line portion in FIG. 1). In the present embodiment, the power generation unit and the power generation engagement unit are directly engaged with each other, but in other embodiments described later, there are some that are related in a non-contact manner.

  Although FIG. 2 shows a specific configuration, a rack gear 41 provided in the elevator car 52 is provided in the supply unit 3 by a combination of a so-called rack and pinion gear in relation to the power generation unit and the power generation engagement unit. The pinion gear 31 protruding into the hoistway 51 where the elevator car 52 travels is rotated when the elevator car 52 passes through, and the supply unit 3 generates power by the rotation of the pinion gear 31, and the charging power source Charge is supplied to the unit 25 to perform predetermined charging.

  The elevator car 52 is provided with a normal car door device on the landing door device 22 side (in FIG. 2, the car door device on the elevator car 52 side is omitted for simplification), and is provided on the elevator landing 1 to be moved up and down. Since it engages with a landing door device that separates the road and the landing, it is provided, for example, at a portion protruding laterally from these door devices so as not to interfere with the landing of the elevator car 52. If there is another device provided at the landing, and if a further amount of charge is required, the amount of power generation can be increased by simply changing the length of the rack gear 41, and this can be dealt with easily. It is more preferable that the upper and lower ends of the rack gear 41 are along the direction opposite to the pinion gear 31 so as to guide the pinion gear 31 so that there is no hindrance when passing.

  Further, since the elevator car 52 moves in the vertical direction, if the pinion gear 31 is arranged in the middle of the rack gear 41 when landing on the midway floor, the elevator car 52 can move from either up or down direction. The mechanism can be activated. In addition to the rack-pinion gear system, for example, a mechanism that abuts on the outer surface of the elevator car 52 such as a guide roller and rotates from the supply unit 3 to the movable equipment 4, that is, the elevator car 52, is used to generate power. For example, other mechanisms can be employed.

  If the charge amount consumed by one use of the hall call device 2 out of the charge amount required for the hall call device 2 is charged from the supply unit 3 by passing through the elevator car 52, the hall call device Since the elevator car 52 always lands on the floor by using 2, the charging power source unit 25 is always charged with a predetermined charge amount. In addition, even when the elevator car 52 passes through the middle floor by another landing call device 2, it is always charged by this mechanism, so that it is discharged from the charging power supply unit 25 without using the elevator device for a long time. Unless it is, the state of charge is always maintained.

  In addition, since it is not necessary to route a power supply line for charging to each landing call device 2 due to this, in this embodiment, other than the power supply line such as an operation signal line of the elevator apparatus 5 is omitted, and instead it is wireless. Transmitting signals. In general, the hoistway 51 of the elevator apparatus 5 is a closed space that communicates in the up-down direction, and is also a very good part for wireless communication. Therefore, the construction of the elevator apparatus 5 can be simplified.

  For the charging power supply unit 25, a secondary battery usually called a battery, an electric double layer capacitor (so-called gold capacitor) that has been used in recent years, or the like is used. In this embodiment, since electric charge is replenished in a short time of passing the elevator car 52, an electric double layer capacitor is used.

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described in the following embodiment shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, unlike the previous embodiment, the operation of the supply unit 3 by the elevator car 52 is performed in a non-contact manner. That is, it is not a rack-pinion gear type but a non-contact type using an induced electromotive force. Reference numerals 32 and 42 in FIG. 3 are equipment for that purpose. Since the configuration other than the part is the same as that of the left embodiment, the description is omitted.

  When the non-contact type is used as described above, since the resistance when the elevator car 52 passes does not become a resistance, a simpler mechanism with less failure can be achieved.
