  The hoisting machine 16 is a device for raising and lowering the car 20 by driving the main rope 12 wound by the control panel 18. The hoisting machine 16 is disposed in the machine room 8.

The car 20 is a structure for ascending and descending the hoistway 30 when the hoisting machine 16 is operated under the control of the control panel 18 to carry passengers. The interior space of the car 20 is large enough to accommodate a predetermined number of people. For example, the bottom surface has an area of 200 cm × 200 cm = 4 m ² and a height of 250 cm. A space with meters. The car 20 includes a car operating device 24 and a car door 26.

  The car operating device 24 includes a push button 242 for a passenger who has entered the car 20 to select a destination floor and open / close the car door 26, a floor where the car 20 is located, and other information. This is a liquid crystal display device that displays an indicator 244 for displaying. The car operating device 24 is attached to the sleeve wall 20a adjacent to the car door 26 among the side walls of the car 20, and the size thereof is 150 cm to 200 cm in the vertical direction and 50 cm to 50 cm in the horizontal direction. A square of 100 centimeters is preferred. And it is suitable for the base 246 of the car operation device 24 to be attached so that it is positioned about 50 cm to 100 cm from the floor surface 20 b in the car 20.

  The car-side sensor 25 is a sensor that is attached to the vicinity of the ceiling portion 20 c in the car 20 and measures the height of a person in the peripheral area of the car operating device 24. For example, an optical displacement sensor can be used as the car-side sensor 25, but other displacement sensors may be used as a matter of course. For example, an ultrasonic displacement sensor or a laser focus displacement sensor may be used.

  The car door 26 is a door provided in the car 20, and opens together with the landing door 28 of the landing 27 when the riding car 20 reaches the landing 27 on each floor. Thereby, the passenger can get on and off the car 20.

  The landing doors 28 are doors provided at the landings 27 and open together with the passenger doors 26 when the passenger cars 20 land. Thereby, the passenger can get on and off the car 20.

  The hall 27 on each floor is provided with a hall three-way frame 32 composed of vertical frames 32a, 32b and a horizontal frame 32c, a hall operating device 34, and a hall door 28.

  The hall operating device 34 is a liquid crystal display device that displays a call button 342 for calling the car 20 and an indicator 344 for displaying the floor where the car 20 is located and other information. The hall operating device 34 is attached to the hall wall 35 adjacent to the hall door 28, and the size thereof is a rectangle having a vertical direction of 150 cm to 200 cm and a horizontal direction of 50 cm to 100 cm. Is preferred. And it is suitable for the base 346 of the hall operating device 34 to be attached so that it is positioned about 50 cm to 100 cm from the floor surface 27 a of the hall 27.

  The hall-side sensor 36 is a sensor that is attached to the hall wall 35 above the hall operating device 34 and measures the height of a person in the peripheral area of the hall operating device 34. As the landing side sensor 36, for example, an optical displacement sensor can be used. Of course, other displacement sensors may be used. For example, an ultrasonic displacement sensor or a laser focus displacement sensor may be used.

  The landing door 28 is a single-open door that can open and close an opening area 37 defined by the vertical frames 32 a and 32 b and the horizontal frame 32 c of the landing three-way frame 32. Of course, the landing door 28 may be a double door.

  The vertical frames 32 a and 32 b and the horizontal frame 32 c of the landing three-way frame 32 are members provided at the landing 27 on each floor in order to define an opening area 37 that serves as an entrance for passengers to get on and off the car 20. is there. The vertical frames 32a and 32b and the horizontal frame 32c are composed of members having appropriate strength and ferromagnetism. For example, it can be configured using iron.

  The control panel 18 has a function of controlling the entire elevator 10 such as automatic opening / closing control of the car door 26 and the landing door 28 and lifting / lowering operation control of the car 20. The control panel 18 has a function of controlling the car operating device 24 and the landing operating device 34 according to the heights detected by the car side sensor 25 and the landing side sensor 36. The control panel 18 is characterized by this function. The details will be described below.

  The control panel 18 calculates the position at which the passenger can work most easily according to the height of the passenger in the peripheral area of the car operating device 24, and the corresponding position of the car operating device 24, which is a liquid crystal display device. The push button 242 is displayed on the screen. Further, the control panel 18 calculates a position where the passenger can easily see the height according to the height of the passenger, and displays the indicator 244 at the corresponding position of the car operating device 24. Here, for example, when the height is 180 centimeters, the position at which the passenger is most likely to work is the position where the central portion of the push button 242 is 140 centimeters. This is the position where the central part of the center is 170 centimeters. Of course, these values are merely examples, and can be changed as appropriate.

  Further, in the same manner as described above, the control panel 18 has an appropriate height for the passenger in the hall operating device 34 that is a liquid crystal display device according to the height of the passenger in the peripheral area of the hall operating device 34. A call button 342 and an indicator 344 are displayed at the positions. The peripheral area of the car operating device 24 and the hall operating device 34 is an area where one adult male can enter, but if there are a plurality of persons in the area, the average height thereof To find the height at which passengers can work most easily and easily.

  Then, the effect | action of the elevator 10 of the said structure is demonstrated.

  FIG. 4A is a diagram showing a case where a general adult male passenger 40 is in the vicinity of the hall operating device 34 at the hall 27. FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a case where a general child passenger 42 is in the vicinity of the hall operating device 34 of the hall 27. As shown in FIG. 4A, when the adult male passenger 40 is in the vicinity of the hall operating device 34 of the hall 27, the height of the passenger 40 is detected by the hall side sensor 36, and the control panel 18 controls the height. In the hall operating device 34, the push button 342 and the indicator 344 are displayed at a height position appropriate for the passenger 40. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the child passenger 42 is in the vicinity of the hall operating device 34 of the hall 27, the height of the passenger 42 is detected by the hall side sensor 36, and the control panel 18 is controlled. Accordingly, the push button 342 and the indicator 344 are displayed at the appropriate height position for the passenger 42 in the hall operating device 34.

  FIG. 5A is a diagram showing a case where a general adult male passenger 44 is in the vicinity of the car operating device 24 in the car 20. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a case where a passenger 46 of a wheelchair user is in the vicinity of the car operating device 24 in the car 20. As shown in FIG. 5A, when an adult male passenger 44 is in the vicinity of the car operation device 24, the height of the passenger 44 is detected by the car-side sensor 25, and the car operation is performed by the control of the control panel 18. In the device 24, a push button 242 and an indicator 244 are displayed at an appropriate height position for the passenger 44. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the wheelchair user's passenger 46 is in the vicinity of the car operating device 24, the height of the passenger 46 is detected by the car-side sensor 25, and the control panel 18 controls it. In the car operation device 24, the push button 242 and the indicator 244 are displayed at a height position appropriate for the passenger 46. Here, in FIG. 5A, the push buttons 242 are displayed in two rows, but in FIG. 5B, the push buttons 242 are displayed in two rows or three rows, and the arrangement is changed.

  Thus, according to the elevator 10, according to the height of the user of the elevator 10, the push buttons 242, 342 and the indicators 244, 344 can be positioned appropriately for the user.
