<Elevator Operation Using the Elevator Control Device According to the First Embodiment>
Next, the operation of the elevator control device 30 when the user instructs a one-seater exclusive operation to perform a car call operation and uses the elevator will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  Normally, the operation of the elevator 1 is controlled in the normal operation by the operation control unit 32 (S1). At this time, the general boarding permission light 15 on each floor is turned on to indicate that the user at each landing is currently in normal operation.

  In normal operation, the car 20 is selected based on the operation information of the upward car call button 121, the downward car call button 122 in the hall general operation panel 12 on each floor, and the destination floor registration button in the car operation panel 21. Elevation and opening / closing of the landing door 11 and the car door are controlled.

  Next, it is assumed that the user at the landing (first floor) 10 wishes to use the elevator in a single passenger exclusive state and operates the single passenger dedicated car call button 16 (“YES” in S2). .

  When the single-seater dedicated car call button 16 is operated and a single-seater dedicated operation is instructed to generate a car call, this operation information is acquired by the button operation information acquisition unit 31 of the elevator control device 30 and the operation control unit 32 is operated. Is sent out.

  The operation control unit 32 is switched to control the operation of the elevator 1 in response to a single-seater dedicated driving instruction when the operation information of the single-seater dedicated car call button 16 is acquired.

  In the present embodiment, when the control is switched so as to be controlled by the single-seater dedicated driving, the general boarding permission light 15 on each floor is turned off by the permission light switching unit 33 and the single-seater dedicated operation indicator lamp 133 is turned on. . This indicates that it is impossible to get into a user other than the operator at each hall. In addition, the single-seater dedicated boarding permission lamp 17 on the first floor where the single-seater dedicated car call button 16 is operated is turned on. Thereby, it is shown that the single-seater exclusive driving is permitted for the operated user.

  At this time, from a speaker (not shown) installed at the hall, the message “Currently, one person is driving and no one other than the user who operated the one-seater car call button can use the elevator.” An audio announcement may be output.

  When the control is switched to the one-seater exclusive operation, the car position display control unit 34 displays the floor information not corresponding to the position of the car 20 on the car position floor display unit 132 of each floor. The car position indicator lights 142-1 to 142-6 that are not corresponding to the position of the car 20 are switched so as to be lit on each floor (S3).

  Here, the car position display control unit 34 scrolls and displays, for example, “first floor” to “sixth floor” on the car position floor display section 132 or displays any floor information fixedly. The floor information that does not correspond to the position of the car 20 can be displayed.

  The car position display control unit 34 sequentially lights, for example, the car position display lights 142-1 to 142-6, or lights any of the car position display lights or all the car position display lights fixedly or blinks them. As a result, any car position indicator lamp that does not correspond to the position of the car 20 can be turned on.

  Next, in response to a car call generated by operating the one-seater car call button 16, the car 20 reaches the landing (first floor) 10 and opens. Then, a user who operates the car call button 16 dedicated for one-seater rides in, and registers a desired destination floor (for example, “5th floor”) with the in-car operation panel 21 in the car 20. When it is detected that the car operation panel 21 has been operated and the door is closed, the one-seater exclusive use permission light 17 on the first floor turned on by the permission light switching unit 33 is turned off.

  The destination floor information registered by the destination floor registration button operation in the in-car operation panel 21 is sent to the operation control unit 32, and the operation control unit 32 controls the raising / lowering of the car 20 based on this.

  When the car 20 reaches the registered destination floor “5th floor” and opens the door (“YES” in S4), the operation control unit 32 switches to control the elevator 1 in normal operation. In the present embodiment, when switching from the single-seater exclusive operation to the normal operation, the single-seater exclusive operation indicator lamp 133 lit by the permission light switching unit 33 is turned off, and the general boarding permission light 15 on each floor is turned on. Illuminated to indicate that the user at the landing is in normal driving (S5). At this time, a voice announcement indicating that “the operation has been switched to normal operation” may be output from a speaker (not shown) installed at the hall.

  At this point, the car position display control unit 34 continues to display and turn on the floors that do not correspond to the position of the car 20 on the first car position display board 13 and the second car position display board 14 of each floor. Done.

  Next, it is monitored whether or not the upward car call button 121 or the downward car call button 122 is operated on the hall general operation panel 12 on any floor (for example, “3rd floor”).

  When the button operation information acquisition unit 31 acquires that the car call button has been operated, the car 20 is landed on the floor “third floor” where the car call button is operated based on the operation. The operation control unit 32 controls the operation of the elevator 1.

  When the car 20 arrives on the floor “3rd floor” where the car call button is operated and the door is opened (“YES” in S6), the car position display control unit 34 causes the display contents of the car position floor display unit 132 to be displayed. And the lighting state of the car position indicator lights 142-1 to 142-6 is switched so as to correspond to the actual position of the car 20 (S7). In this way, after switching to single-seater driving, even if the car 20 reaches the destination registration floor and opens the door, it will continue until the car is opened in response to a newly generated car call. By continuing the control of displaying and lighting the floors that do not correspond to the 20 position on the car position display panels 13 and 14 on each floor, it is possible to ensure that the elevator operation status during single-passenger driving is reliably communicated to others on the landing It can be made not to recognize.

  Thereafter, the process returns to step S1, and normal operation is continued in the elevator 1.

  According to the first embodiment described above, when the elevator 1 is operated in the one-seater exclusive operation, the display of the car position display boards 13 and 14 at each landing is controlled so as to indicate a floor that does not correspond to the actual car position. By doing so, when the user designates the single-passenger driving and gets into the elevator, it is possible to prevent the destination floor from being recognized by other people at the landing floor.

  In addition, by controlling in this way, when a user who gets into the elevator alone gets off at the destination floor, it is possible to prevent other people who are on the landing floor from recognizing the boarded floor. .

  In addition, when switching to display information that does not correspond to the position of the car 20 and when the car 20 has landed on the destination floor registered for single-passenger driving, a certain period of time has elapsed in a stop state The car position display boards 13 and 14 may be switched to display the car position information.

  Further, when the operation control unit 32 is set to return the car 20 to a reference floor (for example, the first floor) and wait when a certain time has passed without a car call being generated, the car 20 May be switched so that the car position display boards 13 and 14 display the position information of the car when the car returns to the reference floor after landing on the destination floor registered in the single-seater exclusive driving.
