<Operation of Elevator System According to Fourth Embodiment>
The operation of the elevator system 1D according to the present embodiment will be described. In elevator system 1D, since the operation performed in the normal operation mode is similar to the operation described in the first embodiment, the detailed description will be omitted. In this embodiment, the determination result information on the presence or absence of a wheelchair user in the first car 12 transmitted from the first in-car camera device 126 and the second car 22 transmitted from the second in-car camera device 226 The determination result information on the presence or absence of a wheelchair user is acquired by the opening / closing operation change instructing unit 57 from each elevator control device via the operation information acquiring unit 51 of the group management device 50D.

  An operation performed in the wheelchair alternative operation mode in the elevator system 1D will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. In FIG. 10, the processes performed in steps S1 to S7, S11, and S12 are the same as the processes described in the second embodiment, and thus detailed description will be omitted.

  In step S12, if it is determined that the corresponding car has landed on the destination floor designated by the car call operated by the operation panel in the retrofit car by the open / close operation change instructing unit 57 ("YES" in S12) Based on the determination result information of the presence or absence of the wheelchair user acquired from the elevator control device, it is determined whether or not the wheelchair user is in the corresponding car (S14). If it is determined that there is a wheelchair user in the car ("YES" in S14), an instruction to change the door opening and closing operation of the car to the car call to an operation corresponding to the wheelchair user is generated It is transmitted to the corresponding elevator control device via the control unit 56 (S15). The elevator control device that has received the instruction changes the operation when the corresponding car 12 opens and closes the door on the floor designated by the car call operation, to an operation corresponding to the wheelchair user.

  According to the above fourth embodiment, the wheelchair elevator in the building becomes inoperable, and an in-car operation panel and an in-car wheelchair user determination device exclusively for wheelchair users are newly installed in a general purpose car By doing this, driving corresponding to the wheelchair user can be performed with higher accuracy.

  In the fourth embodiment described above, the case of determining the presence or absence of a wheelchair user with the in-car camera device as the in-car wheelchair user determination device has been described, but the use of a wheelchair combined elevator is effective The presence or absence of a user or the like may also be determined, and the same door opening / closing operation as that for a wheelchair user may be performed for these users. Also, instead of the camera device, the presence or absence of these users may be determined using a 3D sensor or the like.

  In the embodiment described above, a general elevator installed at a location closest to the wheelchair elevator 30, ie, a wheelchair elevator in the hall, as an elevator that responds to a wheelchair dedicated landing call while operating in the wheelchair alternative operation mode. The case where the general-purpose elevator which has the shortest linear distance is assigned is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a general-purpose elevator having a waiting place of the user at a place where the distance from the waiting position of the user waiting for the wheelchair combined elevator 30 is the shortest The public elevator on the side may be assigned as an elevator that responds to a wheelchair-only landing call.
