Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator control device that reduces the trapping of passengers in an elevator car.

  Conventionally, for example, in an elevator having doorways in the first and second directions, if the first door does not open when a door opening command is issued to the first door, the second on the opposite side There is a technique for preventing confinement by opening the door (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP-A-7-277642

  However, this cannot be dealt with when both the first and second doors break down or when the one-way entrance door, that is, one door is used. In other words, even in the case of a conventional elevator control device, even if the door cannot be opened due to a failure, the door closing force of the door device is maintained, so the door cannot be opened manually, and the elevator passenger is confined in the car. There was a case.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems. Even if the door breaks down, the car can be opened manually if the passenger is in a state where the passenger can safely get out of the car. It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator control device that avoids the above-mentioned problem.

The present invention includes a control panel for controlling the operation of a car, and a door zone detection unit that detects that a car is in a door zone where a passenger can safely get out of the car and generates a door zone signal. The car has a plurality of door devices each provided with a light emitting display device, and the control panel detects that the car is stopped by a control signal from a car operation control device. Detecting means; car position detecting means for detecting that the car is in the door zone based on the door zone signal from the door zone detecting section; and when the car is in the door zone, a door opening command is sent to each door device. A door device abnormality detection means including an abnormal door device determination function for determining an abnormal door device by a reaction, and power supply to the door device determined to be abnormal. A power supply cutoff means for blocking the control device for an elevator, characterized in that it comprises a display means for displaying the door to the light-emitting display device to the door apparatus interrupts power supply can be manually opened, the It is in.

  In this invention, even if the door breaks down, the elevator control panel sends a command to cut off the power supply to the door device when it is detected that the passenger is in a position where the passenger can safely get out of the car. This eliminates the door closing force of the door device and allows the door to be opened manually.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of an elevator control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The car 1 that moves up and down in the hoistway 2 includes a door device 11 that opens and closes a door, a car position detection unit 12 that detects that the car 1 is in a door zone DZ where a passenger can safely exit the car, and a door described later is manually operated. A display / notification device 13 for notifying that the door can be opened at least, and a light emitting display device 14 for causing the light emitting display elements 14a and 14b to emit light to indicate that the door can be manually opened. ing.

  The door zone detection unit 15 is, for example, a plate 15b indicating the door zone DZ that extends over a predetermined distance above and below the level of the floor F (position in the vertical direction of the car) for each floor F provided on the hoistway 2 side. And a position detection sensor 15a that generates a door zone signal when detecting the plate 15b provided on the car 1 side. The car position detector 12 detects that the car 1 is in the door zone DZ based on the door zone signal.

  And the raising / lowering operation control of the cage | basket | car 1 is performed by driving a hoisting machine (illustration omitted) by control of the control panel 3 which incorporated the computer provided in the upper part or the lower part of the hoistway 2, and synchronizes with this. Opening and closing control of the car and landing doors is also performed. The control panel 3 controls calls from various operation control devices (not shown) for detecting the operation state such as the speed and position of the car 1 such as a speed governor and various sensors. The operation control of the car 1 is performed according to the signal group CS.

  In the following, the present invention will be described based on an embodiment using an elevator provided with two door devices serving as doorways in two different directions, for example. FIG. 2 is a view showing the relationship between each landing, a car door, and a door device in the case of a two-way exit elevator. In the two-way exit elevator, the car 1 has a first door device 11a that drives the first door 111a and a second door device 11b that drives the second door 111b, and the landing (floor) corresponds to the two directions respectively. is there. When the car 1 has a boarding / alighting request on the second floor (2F) hall 2Fa side, the control panel 3 stops the car 1 at the position 7, and the car position detecting unit indicates that the stop position is within the door zone DZ where the boarding / exiting is possible. After judging from the signal from 12, the door opening command is output to the first door device 11a so as to open the first door 111a.

  Normally, the first door 111a opens and passengers can get on and off, but if the first door 111a cannot be opened automatically due to a failure of the first door 111a, etc., the control panel 3 determines that the first door 111a has failed. The command signal which interrupts | blocks the electric power supply to the 1st door apparatus 11a is sent to the 1st door apparatus 11a. The first door 111a whose power is cut off, that is, the power supply is cut off, has a small door closing force, so that the passenger can manually open the first door 111a and can get off from the car 1 to the landing 2Fa side. it can.

  On the landing 2Fb side, the power supply on the second door 111b side of the second door device 11b is not cut off, so that the door can be opened by an operation button (not shown) in the car. Thereby, the passenger can get off with two selections, that is, the landing 2Fa side is manual and the landing 2Fb side is the operation button. When the second door device 11b side on the landing 2Fb side cannot be opened with the operation button due to a failure or the like, the power supply is cut off and the door can be opened manually like the first door device 11a. In addition, when the car 1 stops on a floor that has a landing only on one side, such as the landings 4F and 5F, the control panel 3 disables the second door device 11b and cuts off the power supply only to the first door device 11a. Thus, the door can be opened manually.

  In addition, the display / notification device 4 in FIG. 1 indicates that it is possible to manually open the door from the control panel 3 by illuminating a passenger in the car, for example, turning on a door open button light, displaying by a display device, or by sound. Announcement is used to notify and notify. In the case of an elevator having doorways that can be opened manually from the control panel 3, for example, in the case of an elevator having doorways in two directions, the light-emitting display device 14 has a front door (first door) 111a and a rear door ( The light emitting display elements 14a and 14b attached to the second door (111b) are lit and lit to notify them.

  FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of a portion of the control panel 3 according to the present invention. The control panel 3 includes a car operation control means 301, a car stop detection means 303, a car position detection means 305, a door device abnormality detection means 307, an abnormality. A door device determination unit 309, a power supply cutoff unit 311, a display / notification unit 313, and a display unit 315 are included.

  FIG. 4 is an operation flowchart showing an example of the operation of the elevator control apparatus according to the present invention. In the control panel 3, first, during the car operation control including the car up / down operation control and the door opening / closing control by the car operation control means 301, the car 1 is stopped at the requested floor by the car stop detection means 303 according to, for example, call registration. Is determined from a signal indicating the speed of the car 1 from the speed governor, which is one of the control signal groups CS (step S1). If the car 1 is stopped, the car position detecting means 305 then outputs a signal indicating that the car from the car position detecting unit 12 of the car 1 is stopped in the door zone by the door zone signal of the door zone detecting unit 15. Then, it is determined that the car 1 is stopped in the door zone (step S2).

  When the vehicle is stopped in the door zone, the door device abnormality detection means 307 detects abnormality of the door devices 11a and 11b (step S3), and an abnormality is detected in at least one of the door devices 11a and 11b. In such a case (step S4), the car 1 is put into a resting state in which the control signal is not received (step S5).

  Next, the abnormal door device determination means 309 determines an abnormal door device based on the door abnormality detection result in step S3 (step S6). If the first door device 11a is abnormal, the power supply interruption means 311 A command signal for shutting off the power supply is sent to the first door device 11a, so that the power supply is cut off, that is, for example, the power supply to the motor (not shown) that moves the first door 111a is cut off (step S7), and then the display means 315 As a result, the light emitting display element 14a attached to the first door 111a on the front side of the car 1 is turned on to display the light emission (step S8).

  If the second door device 11b is abnormal, the power supply shut-off means 311 sends a command signal for shutting off the power supply to the second door device 11b to shut off the power supply (step S9), and then the display means By 315, the light emitting display element 14b attached to the second door 111b on the rear side of the car 1 is turned on and light emission is displayed (step S10).

  When the first and second door devices 11a and 11b are abnormal, the power supply cutoff means 311 sends a command signal to cut off the power supply to the first and second door devices 11a and 11b to cut off the power supply. (Step S11), and then the display means 315 turns on and displays the light emitting display elements 14a and 14b attached to the first and second doors 111a and 111b on the front side and the rear side of the car 1, respectively ( Step S12).

  As a result, the door device in which an abnormality has occurred can be manually opened, and this can be notified to the passenger.

  Further, as described above, it is possible that the passenger can open the door manually by operating the display / notification device 13 of the car 1 by the display / notification means 313 after the power supply to the abnormal door device is cut off. Alternatively, it may be notified by display or voice announce (step S13).

  FIG. 5 is an operation flowchart showing an example of the operation of detecting an abnormality of the door device in step S3 of FIG. Here, an abnormality detection operation for one door device will be described. When there are a plurality of door devices, the same abnormality detection is performed for each. Hereinafter, the door abnormality detection operation by the door apparatus abnormality detection means 307 will be described in accordance with this, and a door opening command is output from the control panel 3 to open the first door 111a to the first door apparatus 11a, for example (step S31). The door opening command is output when the car door is automatically opened as in the normal operation of the elevator, or when the passenger in the car 1 opens the car door with an operation button (not shown) in the car. .

  Then, it is determined whether or not the first door 111a of the car 1 that has sent the door open command is opened (step S31). If the first door 111a is opened, the process proceeds to step S36, and for example, the first door device configured by a program. The counter value of the abnormality counter 11a is cleared (count value 0), and the abnormality detection of the first door device 11a is cleared (terminated) (step S32).

  On the other hand, if the first door 111a is not opened in step S32, the process proceeds to step S33, and the counter value of the abnormality counter is incremented by +1 because there is an abnormality in the first door device 11a. In step S34, the counter value of the abnormal counter is determined. If the abnormal counter value is determined to be 3 or more, that is, 3 times or more, the process proceeds to step S35, and the first door device 11a is determined to be abnormal. To detect abnormalities. That is, in order to improve the reliability of abnormality detection, abnormality determination is performed not only once but a plurality of times, and if it is determined that abnormality is detected a plurality of times, it is detected that the door is truly abnormal. Note that the determination of abnormality is not limited to three abnormality counter values, and may be twice, four times or more.

  In the above description, the two-way elevator has been described. However, in the case where the general door is a one-way car elevator, the power supply to the abnormal door device can be shut off and opened manually. If it is made, the same effect is produced. In this case, only the first basket device 11a and the first basket 111a can eliminate the operations related to Step S6 and Steps S8 to S12 in FIG.

  In the case where the first door 111a and the second door 111b are driven by one door device with the two door devices 11a and 11b in common, the first door 111a and the second door 111b are provided. It can be similarly applied by cutting off the power supply to each motor in one door device to be driven.
