  The building 1 is provided with an elevator. The elevator moves between the floors of the building 1. The elevator hall is arranged in front of the locking device 2 on each floor. That is, when the locking device 2 of each floor is locked, it cannot enter the use space of each floor from the elevator hall. On the other hand, when the locking device 2 of each floor is unlocked, it can enter the use space of each floor from the elevator hall.

  Reference numeral 4 denotes a destination operation panel. This destination operation panel 4 is provided in an elevator car and a landing. The destination operation panel 4 is used for inputting a destination floor and the like by an elevator user. Reference numeral 5 denotes an elevator control mechanism. The elevator control mechanism 5 is connected to the destination operation panel 4. The elevator control mechanism 5 functions as a control device that controls the elevator. For example, the elevator control mechanism 5 controls the entire operation of the elevator such as registering the destination floor based on the input result of the destination floor to the destination operation panel 4.

  Reference numeral 6 denotes a display device. The display device 6 is provided in a car and a landing near the destination operation panel 4. The display device 6 has a function of displaying information related to the elevator, such as the traveling direction of the elevator and the car position.

  In the present embodiment, a building management apparatus 7 is provided. The building management device 7 includes a storage device 8. The storage device 8 has a function of inputting floor locking / unlocking information 9 indicating the locking state of each floor at the time of locking or unlocking by the locking device 2 of each floor. The storage device 8 has a function of storing the floor locking / unlocking information 9 as building locking information.

  An ID tag 10 is attached to the floor unlocking key 3 on each floor. In the ID tag 10, floor information indicating each floor is written. Specifically, the ID tag 10 includes floor information for determining which floor of the locking device 2 is a key that can be unlocked.

  Further, an ID tag reader 11 is provided in the vicinity of the destination operation panel 4. Specifically, the ID tag reader 11 is embedded in the lower part of the destination operation panel 4. The ID tag reading device 11 has a function of reading the floor information of the ID tag 10 existing near the destination operation panel 4 without contacting the ID tag 10. The ID tag reader 11 has a function of outputting the floor information of the ID tag 10 being read to the elevator control mechanism 5 as identification information 12.

Based on the floor locking inquiry information 14, the building management device 7 outputs floor locking response information 15 corresponding to the destination floor to the elevator control mechanism 5 from the building locking information in the storage device 8.

  When the floor locking response information 15 indicates the locking of the destination floor, the elevator control mechanism 5 registers the destination floor based on whether or not the registration device 13 stores the floor information corresponding to the destination floor. It is designed to determine whether or not.

Next, a destination floor registration method in the present elevator system will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 2 is a view for explaining building locking information used in the elevator system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a method of reading ID tag floor information by the elevator system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  FIG. 2 shows the building locking information stored in the storage device 8. Specifically, the building locking information of the six-story building 1 is stored in the storage device 8. In FIG. 2, the first floor is set as an “entrance floor”. As shown in FIG. 2, the bill locking information is configured by a table in which “in lock” or “in unlock” is associated with a symbol indicating each floor. In FIG. 2, “Unlocking” is associated with “entrance floor” and “4F”. On the other hand, “2F”, “3F”, “5F”, and “6F” are associated with “locking”.

  FIG. 3 shows details of the destination operation panel 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the destination operation panel 4 is provided with a destination floor button, a door open button, and a door close button corresponding to each floor. An ID tag reader 11 is provided inside the destination operation panel 4.

Here, consider the case where the destination floor is input on the entrance floor when the elevator car is stopped at the entrance floor where the floor unlocking key 3 of each floor is stored in the locking / unlocking state of FIG. .
When the destination floor button corresponding to “4F” of “Unlocking” is pressed, the elevator control mechanism 5 determines that “4F” is not locked. In this case, the elevator control mechanism 5 registers “4F” as the destination floor.

  On the other hand, when the destination floor button corresponding to any of “2F”, “3F”, “5F”, and “6F” of “locking” is pressed, the elevator control mechanism 5 locks the corresponding floor. It is determined that In this case, whether or not to register the destination floor is determined based on whether or not the floor information of the ID tag 10 of the floor corresponding to the pressed destination floor button is registered in the registration device 13.

  Here, consider a case where the user has the floor unlocking key 3 on the destination floor. In this case, when the user inputs the destination floor using the destination operation panel 4, the floor unlocking key 3 is positioned in the vicinity of the destination operation panel 4 together with the user. Accordingly, the ID tag 10 provided on the floor unlocking key 3 is also located in the vicinity of the destination operation panel 4.

  For this reason, the ID tag reader 11 can read the floor information of the ID tag 10 corresponding to the destination floor. Accordingly, floor information of the ID tag 10 corresponding to the destination floor is registered in the registration device 13. In this case, the elevator control mechanism 5 registers the destination floor.

  Next, consider a case where the user does not have the floor unlocking key 3 on the destination floor. In this case, when the user inputs the destination floor using the destination operation panel 4, the user is positioned near the destination operation panel 4. However, the floor unlocking key 3 on the destination floor is not positioned near the destination operation panel 4. That is, the ID tag 10 provided on the floor unlocking key 3 is not positioned near the destination operation panel 4.

  For this reason, the ID tag reader 11 cannot read the floor information of the ID tag 10 corresponding to the destination floor. Therefore, the floor information of the ID tag 10 corresponding to the destination floor is not registered in the registration device 13. In this case, the elevator control mechanism 5 invalidates the input of the destination floor without registering the destination floor. And the elevator control mechanism 5 maintains the stop of the car at the entrance floor.

Next, a series of operations of the elevator system configured as described above will be described more specifically.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the elevator system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  First, in step S1, the destination floor button on the destination operation panel 4 is pressed, and the process proceeds to step S2. In step S2, the ID tag reader 11 starts reading the floor information of the ID tag 10, and proceeds to step S3. In step S3, it is determined whether or not the destination floor corresponding to the destination floor button pressed on the destination floor operation panel 4 is unlocked. If the destination floor is unlocked, the process proceeds to step S4. In step S4, the destination floor is registered by the elevator control mechanism 5, and the elevator is operated. For this reason, the user can use the elevator to go to the destination floor.

  On the other hand, if the destination floor is locked in step S3, the process proceeds to step S5. In step S5, it is determined whether or not the floor information of the ID tag 10 has been read by the ID tag reader 11. If the floor information of the ID tag 10 can be read, the process proceeds to step S6. In step S6, it is determined whether or not the floor information of the ID tag 10 is that of the destination floor corresponding to the destination floor button pressed on the destination operation panel 4.

  If the floor information of the ID tag 10 is that of the destination floor, the process proceeds to step S4, and the operation ends after registration of the destination floor. On the other hand, if the floor information of the ID tag 10 cannot be read by the ID tag reader 11 in step S5, or if the floor information of the ID tag 10 is not that of the destination floor in step S6, the process proceeds to step S7. In step S7, the destination floor corresponding to the destination floor button pressed on the destination operation panel 4 is not registered, and the input of the destination floor is invalidated. And the stop state of an elevator is maintained. For this reason, the user cannot use the elevator to go to the destination floor.

  According to Embodiment 1 described above, when the input destination floor is locked, the destination floor cannot be registered unless the destination floor has the floor unlocking key 3. For this reason, the user can determine whether or not to get the floor unlocking key 3 on each floor of the building 1 at the time of using the elevator. For example, if the user who came to work first in the morning does not have the floor unlocking key 3, the user cannot register the destination floor even if the destination floor button is pressed. For this reason, the user notices that he has to go to get the floor unlocking key 3.

  Further, when the destination floor input to the destination operation panel 4 is locked and the ID tag reader 11 does not read the floor information corresponding to the destination floor, the car on the floor where the destination floor is input. Will be maintained. For this reason, the user can use the elevator without waiting for the arrival of the car after returning to the floor unlocking key 3.

  In addition, according to the present elevator system, there is no problem that the conventional technology has such that ID determination is required again at the entrance when a certain time has elapsed after ID determination. Furthermore, according to this elevator system, it is possible to prevent a malicious person from entering a specific floor being locked for illegal purposes, and to improve the security of the building 1.
