Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator control device, and more particularly to an elevator control device suitable for preventing the start of guidance at an unnecessary timing.

  The guidance control in the prior art elevator control device is to perform one guidance for one event. For example, when an earthquake occurs, guidance is only started once when the earthquake occurs, and no guidance is provided even if the elevator lands and stops operation. Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-21850) discloses that the guidance timing time is adjusted so that the guidance start timing does not overlap. Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-120325) discloses broadcasting conditions associated with the addition of a guidance for getting off during an operation suspension during an earthquake control operation.

JP 2002-21118 A JP-A-10-120325

  In recent years, there has been a demand for appropriate guidance for elevator users from the viewpoint of universal design. For example, in the case of guidance during earthquake control operation, in addition to the conventional earthquake occurrence guidance for notifying that an earthquake has occurred, door opening guidance and getting-off instruction guidance immediately before landing during earthquake control operation, and car after landing It is assumed that new guidance contents such as a driving stop guidance when the door is fully opened and a guidance for getting off when the car door is fully closed during the driving stop are added. In this way, when guiding a plurality of contents, it is necessary to perform appropriate guidance control according to the situation of the elevator, but conventionally, this point has not been considered.

  In other words, if an earthquake occurrence guidance is given while driving, door opening guidance and getting-off guidance guidance are given at the time of landing, and the earthquake occurrence guidance is unnecessary again, the elevator user may feel suspicious, There is a problem of causing confusion.

  Further, the timing of the guidance is adjusted so that it does not overlap with other adjacent guidance. However, if a new guidance is added, there is a problem that the guidance timing needs to be further adjusted.

In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention provides an elevator control apparatus including a guidance control unit that guides any one of a plurality of guidance contents, wherein the guidance control unit performs a predetermined process on the plurality of guidance contents. Means for setting a guidance permission range according to the elevator state, and the means for setting the guidance permission range is a means for determining the door closing completion mode A when the car door is closed while the elevator is traveling, When the car door is closed while the elevator is running, and when the landing operation is still in progress, a means for determining the door closing completion mode B and when the car door is closed while the elevator is landing and stopped are closed Means for determining completion mode C; means for determining door open start mode when the elevator car door is open; A door opening completion mode until the car door is fully closed and then the door is fully closed. When the door closing completion mode A is determined, earthquake occurrence guidance is permitted and the door closing is completed. When it is determined as mode B, door opening guidance and getting-off instruction guidance are permitted, when it is determined as door closing completion mode C, getting-off instruction guidance is permitted, and when it is determined as the door opening start mode, door opening guidance and Alighting instruction guidance is permitted, and a driving stop guidance is permitted when it is determined that the door opening completion mode is set.

  In addition, preferably, a means for notifying the guidance content by voice or video is provided.

  The guidance content includes guidance content that is guidance for instructing an elevator user to act, guidance content that guides external information of the elevator, guidance content that guides internal information of the elevator, and the like.

  According to the present invention, even when a new guide is added to the range where guidance has been permitted until now, the guidance permission range of each guide can be clarified, and the elevator can be used without unnecessary re-guidance. It is possible to provide excellent information to users and improve serviceability.

  Hereinafter, an elevator control device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an elevator control device and an elevator car. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an elevator control panel in which a device for controlling an elevator is housed. The elevator control panel 1 includes an operation control device 2 for controlling the operation of the elevator. The operation control device 2 includes an earthquake control operation control unit 3 that performs control of an earthquake control operation when an earthquake occurs, and a guidance control unit 4 that performs control for guiding passengers in an elevator car. The occurrence of an earthquake is determined by the earthquake sensor 5, and there are an extra low Gal sensor 6 for detecting the initial tremor of the earthquake and a low Gal sensor 7 for detecting the main movement. Information determined by the operation control device 2 and information on the elevator car are transmitted and received by the communication control device 8 in the elevator control panel 1 and the communication control device 10 in the on-car control BOX 9 installed on the elevator car. Is done.

  In the on-car control BOX 9, there are a door control device 11 that controls the opening and closing of the door, a broadcast control device 12 that controls the output of the voice announcement, and a display control device 13 that controls the output of the liquid crystal display screen. The door control device 11 sends a door opening / closing command to a door motor (DM) 16 to perform an opening / closing operation. Further, there are a door opening confirmation switch (OS) 17 for judging that the door is fully opened and a door closing confirmation switch (CS) 18 for judging that the door is fully closed. The ON / OFF signal is transmitted to the door control device 11. The broadcast control device 12 selects a sound source from the sound storage device 14 in which synthesized speech is stored, sends an output command to the speaker 19, and makes a sound announcement. The display control device 13 selects a display screen from the display storage device 15 that stores the composite video that is the content of the display screen, and sends an output command to the liquid crystal monitor 20 for display. A door motor 16, a door opening confirmation switch 17, a door closing confirmation switch 18, a speaker 19, and a liquid crystal monitor 20 are installed in an elevator car 21.

  Next, the flow of operation of the earthquake control operation control unit 3 when an earthquake occurs will be described with reference to the configuration diagram of FIG. 1 and the flowchart of FIG. In the following description, “door” and “door” are synonymous.

  When an earthquake occurs (step S1), it is determined whether or not the extra low Gal sensor 6 of the earthquake detector 5 is operated (extra low = ON?) (Step S2). If extra low = OFF in step S2, normal operation is continued (step S3). If extra low = ON in step S2, it is determined whether the low Gal sensor 7 of the earthquake sensor 5 has been operated (low = ON?) (Step S4). If low = OFF in step S4, it is determined in the operation control device 2 whether the elevator is traveling (step S5). If it is determined in step S5 that the elevator is running, an operation of landing (stopping) the nearest floor is performed (step S6). If it is determined in step S5 that the elevator is stopped or if the elevator reaches the nearest floor in step S6, the door controller 11 issues a door opening command to the door motor (DM) 16 to start door opening (step S7). After the door is fully opened (step S8), the door is closed after 15 to 20 seconds have elapsed (step S9). After the door is fully closed (step S10), it is determined whether the door open button has been pressed in the car (step S11). If the door open button is pressed in step S11, door opening is started (step S12), and after the door is fully opened (step S13), step S9 is performed again. If the door open button is not pressed in step S11, it is confirmed that the specific Gal sensor 6 has been reset manually or automatically (step S14), and the elevator is returned to normal operation (step S15).

  If low = ON in step S4, it is determined whether the elevator is running in the operation control device 2 (step S16). If it is determined in step S16 that the elevator is running, an operation of landing on the nearest floor is performed (step S17). If it is determined in step S16 that the elevator is stopped or if the elevator reaches the nearest floor in step S17, the door controller 11 issues a door opening command to the door motor (DM) 16 to start the door opening (step S18). After the door is fully opened (step S19), the door is closed after 15 to 20 seconds have elapsed (step S20). After the door is fully closed (step S21), the elevator stops operating (step S22). It is determined whether or not the door open button has been pressed in the car during the operation suspension in step S22 (step S23). If it is determined that the door open button has been pressed, door opening is started (step S24) and the door is fully opened. (Step S25), Step S20 is performed again. If the door open button is not pressed in step S23, the operation suspension is continued (step S26). Up to here is the movement of the elevator when an earthquake occurs.

  Next, the processing flow of the guidance control unit 4 in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the configuration diagram of FIG. 1 and the flowcharts of FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. .

<Predetermined elevator state setting process>
In order to provide guidance when an earthquake occurs, a predetermined elevator state setting process (step S100) in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG.

  When an earthquake occurs (step S101), the seismic detector 5 is operated in steps S2 and S4 to start an earthquake control operation (step S102). After the start of step S102, it is determined that the control operation is not completed if the vehicle is traveling in step S5 or step S16, and the control operation is completed if the vehicle is landing on the nearest floor (step S103). If it is determined in step S103 that the control operation is not completed, the operation control device 2 determines whether the elevator is in the landing operation (step S104). If the elevator is not in the landing operation, the door closing completion mode A (mode 1A) is determined. (Step S105), if it is during the landing operation, the mode is switched to the door closing completion mode B (mode 1B) (step S106).

  When it is determined in step S103 that the control operation is completed, it is determined from the door closing confirmation switch (CS) 18 whether the door is closed (step S107). If CS = ON in step S107, the mode is switched to the door closing completion mode C (mode 1C) (step S113). If CS = OFF in step S107, the mode is switched to the door opening start mode (mode 2) (step S108). Thereafter, it is determined from the door opening confirmation switch (OS) 17 whether the door is fully opened (step S109). If OS = OFF in step S109, step S108 is continued, and if OS = ON, switching to the door opening completion mode (mode 3) is performed (step S110). Next, it is determined by the door opening confirmation switch (OS) 17 whether or not the door is closed (step S111). If OS = ON in step S111, step S110 is continued. If OS = OFF, the door is fully closed. It is judged by the door closing confirmation switch (CS) 18 (step S112). If CS = OFF in step S112, step S110 is continued, and if CS = ON, switching to the door closing completion mode C (mode 1C) is performed (step S113).

  Here, for each mode, there are a plurality of door closing completion modes A (mode 1A), door closing completion modes B (mode 1B), door closing completion modes C (mode 1C), door opening start modes (mode 2), and door opening completion modes (mode 3). They are not turned on at the same time, and only one of them is turned on.

<Guidance permission processing>
Next, by determining each mode described above, the predetermined elevator state setting process in step S100 is terminated, and each guidance permission process in step S200 is started. The process of step S200 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, in step S100, it is determined whether or not the door closing completion mode A is set (mod1A = ON?) (Step S201). If mode1A = ON, the earthquake occurrence guidance is permitted (ANCD1 = 1 is set) (step S202). If mode1A = OFF in step S201, ANCD1 = 0 is set.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the door closing completion mode B is set (mode B = ON?) (Step S203). If mode1B = ON, door opening guidance and getting-off instruction guidance are permitted (ANCD2 = 1 is set) (step S205). If mode1B = OFF in step S203, it is determined whether the door opening start mode is set (mode2 = ON?) (Step S204). If mode2 = ON, step S205 when mode1B = ON in step S203 is continued, and ANCD2 = 1 is continuously set. If mode2 = OFF in step S204, ANCD2 = 0 is set.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the door opening completion mode is set (mode3 = ON?) (Step S206). If mode3 = ON, the operation stop guidance is permitted (ANCD3 = 1 is set) (step S207). If mode3 = OFF in step S206, ANCD3 = 0 is set.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the door closing completion mode C is set (mode1C = ON?) (Step S208). If mode1C = ON, alighting instruction guidance is permitted (ANCD4 = 1 is set) (step S209). If mode1C = OFF in step S208, ANCD4 = 0 is set.

<Guidance command processing in priority order>
In FIG. 3, when the guidance permission process in step S200 is completed, a guidance command process (step S300) in priority order is performed. The process of step S300 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  For the guidance permitted in step S200, it is determined whether door opening guidance and getting-off instruction guidance are permitted (ANCD2 = 1?) (Step S301). If ANCD2 = 1, door opening guidance and getting-off instruction guidance are validated (step S302). If ANCD2 = 0 in step S301, it is determined whether getting-off instruction guidance is permitted (ANCD4 = 1?) (Step S303). If ANCD4 = 1, the getting-off instruction guidance is validated (step S304). If ANCD4 = 0 in step S303, it is determined whether earthquake occurrence guidance is permitted (ANCD1 = 1?) (Step S305). If ANCD1 = 1, earthquake occurrence guidance is validated (step S306). If ANCD1 = 0 in step S305, it is determined whether driving suspension guidance is permitted (ANCD3 = 1?) (Step S307). If ANCD3 = 1, the operation stop guidance is validated (step S308). If ANCD3 = 0 in step S307, it is determined that no guidance is permitted, and step S300 is terminated.

  The contents of each guide code will be described with reference to FIG.

  ANCD1 is an earthquake occurrence guidance code, and is used as elevator external information guidance by the process of step S300. The contents of the broadcast to be guided and the contents of the display screen are as shown in FIG. Next, ANCD2 is a code for door opening guidance and getting-off instruction guidance, and is taken as action instruction guidance by the processing of step S300. The contents of the broadcast to be guided and the contents of the display screen are as shown in FIG. Next, ANCD3 is an operation stop guidance code, and is used as elevator internal information guidance by the process of step S300. The contents of the broadcast to be guided and the contents of the display screen are as shown in FIG. Next, ANCD4 is a code for getting-off instruction guidance, and is taken as action instruction guidance by the processing of step S300. The contents of the broadcast to be guided and the contents of the display screen are as shown in FIG.

  Note that the broadcast text stored as the synthesized speech and the display screen stored as the synthesized video may be notified independently, or both may be notified in conjunction with each other.

  Here, the priority order for each guidance category will be described with reference to FIG.

  When a plurality of guidance contents are permitted in duplicate, guidance is started in the priority order of FIG. First, the important information for elevator users is that the elevator users use it safely. Therefore, priority is given to guidance for instructing the elevator user to act. For example, if an earthquake occurs just before the elevator reaches the floor, the elevator is still running, so it may be possible to give the guidance “Earthquake.” However, since the elevator is just before landing, the door starts to open immediately and operation stops. Therefore, when an earthquake occurs just before landing, it is more important to make an announcement in consideration of the safety of elevator users, such as “Please get off when the door opens” rather than “Earthquake”. It is thought that. That is, it is possible to improve the safety and serviceability of the elevator user by guiding the elevator external information rather than the guidance for instructing the action. Next, priority is given to the external information of the elevator. In this example, the elevator external information means that an earthquake has occurred, but it is not a normal movement of the elevator, but a guide that an unexpected event has occurred. Therefore, by providing information about what has happened to the elevator user, the user's anxiety can be reduced, and improvement in serviceability can be ensured. From the above, the priority order of guidance is the action instruction guidance with the highest priority, the elevator external information guidance, and finally the elevator internal information guidance (see FIG. 8).

  From the above, a summary of guidance when an earthquake occurs will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 9 shows guidance when an earthquake occurs while the elevator travels from the second floor to the first floor. When an earthquake occurs (step S1), since it is the door closing completion mode A (step S105), the earthquake occurrence guidance (S202) is permitted, and if it is within the permitted range, the earthquake occurrence guidance is started when the earthquake occurs. Can do. Next, door opening guidance and getting-off instruction guidance (step S205) are permitted by switching to the door closing completion mode B (step S106) in which the landing operation is performed. Next, the mode is switched to the door opening start mode (step S108), but the door opening guidance and the getting-off instruction guidance are continuously permitted. Further, even when the door opening completion mode (step S110) is switched, the door opening guidance and the getting-off instruction guidance are continuously permitted. Between the door closing completion mode B and the door opening completion mode, door opening guidance and getting-off instruction guidance are continuously permitted, so guidance can be started if it is within the permitted range after the occurrence of an earthquake. .

  Next, in the door opening completion mode (step S110), operation stop guidance is permitted (step S207). If it is within the permitted range after the earthquake, the operation stop guidance can be started. Here, in the door opening completion mode, two guidances, that is, an operation stop guidance, a door opening guidance, and a getting-off instruction guidance are permitted. When a plurality of guides are permitted in this way, the priority of the permitted guides is determined according to the flow of FIG. 6 and the priority order of FIG. 8, and the guidance is started. However, since the door opening guidance and the getting-off instruction guidance are permitted from the door closing completion mode B as shown in FIG. 9, since the guidance has already started, the door opening completion mode (step S110) has been switched to. Occasionally, only the operation stop guidance is started, and the guidance is not started at the same time.

  Next, a case where the door opening guidance, the getting-off instruction guidance, and the operation stop guidance are started in the door opening completion mode will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 10 illustrates guidance when an earthquake occurs in the door opening completion mode (step S1). If an earthquake occurs when the door of the elevator is open, the elevator starts the operation from step S19 in FIG. Since the mode for which guidance is permitted is the door opening completion mode (step S110), the permitted timing of the door opening guidance and the getting-off instruction guidance (step S205) and the operation stop guidance (step S207) overlap. In this case, it is determined which guide has priority over the flow of FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 and 8, the classification of door opening guidance and getting-off instruction guidance is action instruction guidance, and the operation stop guidance is elevator internal information guidance. When the door opening guidance and the getting-off instruction guidance are turned on from the flow of FIG. 6 (step S302), the action instruction guidance is given priority, so the door opening guidance and the getting-off instruction guidance, which are action instruction guidance, are given priority. Then start guidance. When the door opening completion mode is continued after the door opening guidance and the getting-off instruction guidance are completed, the operation stop guidance that is the elevator internal information guidance starts. Thereafter, when switching to the door closing completion mode C (step S113), the getting-off instruction guidance is permitted (step S209), and thus the getting-off instruction guidance is started.

  If the elevator control device performs guidance in the car as described above, the timing of starting and ending guidance can be clarified and inadvertent re-guidance is started even when new guidance content is added. It is possible to provide guidance without any problems. In addition, even when the timing to start guidance overlaps, it is possible to guide the elevator users in the correct order by determining the priority order according to the content of the guidance and the operation status of the elevator. Serviceability can be ensured.
