Description

The present invention relates to an elevator, and more particularly to a registration operation of a destination floor of a car.

In the elevator car, an operation panel composed of destination floor buttons arranged in rows along the vertical direction, which has a role of registering the destination floor, is provided, for example, on a sleeve wall adjacent to the entrance / exit. Will be installed.

In addition, in elevators installed in public facilities, etc., in consideration of hygiene, by holding your hand over a photoelectric sensor (hereinafter referred to as "light-shielding sensor") that detects light-shielding, you can register the destination floor of the car. A non-contact type operation panel that can perform the above operations in a non-contact manner is also being introduced.

By the way, some operation panels are configured by arranging a plurality of rows of destination floor buttons along the vertical direction. If an operation panel configured by arranging multiple rows of light-shielding sensors with the same function instead of these multiple rows of destination floor buttons is installed on the sleeve wall adjacent to the entrance, the destination floor registration operation will be performed. When doing so, it is likely that the light-shielding sensor corresponding to another destination floor that the passenger does not intend will also detect the light-shielding. Specifically, the passenger tried to hold his hand over the light-shielding sensor (hereinafter referred to as "wall-side sensor") located on the back side of the entrance, in other words, near the side wall of the car. Occasionally, the entrance / exit side sensor detects light shielding when the passenger's hand or arm crosses the detection range of the entrance / exit side light-shielding sensor (hereinafter referred to as "entrance / exit side sensor") adjacent to the wall-side sensor. When the destination floor registration operation is performed, an unintended destination floor registration operation may be performed.

Regarding this point, in Patent Document 1, in an operation panel in which two rows of light-shielding sensors are arranged along the vertical direction, when adjacent light-shielding sensors simultaneously detect light-shielding, the passenger does not intend to register the destination floor. An elevator configured to not accept the registration operation of the destination floor is disclosed in order to prevent the operation from being performed.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2019-142686

In the elevator configuration described in Patent Document 1, a part of the passenger's body approaches the entrance / exit side sensors arranged adjacent to the wall-side sensor while the passenger holds his / her hand over the wall-side sensor to block light from both sensors at the same time. If it is detected, there is a problem that the registration operation of the destination floor cannot be performed smoothly.

An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator capable of smoothly performing a registration operation of a destination floor while suppressing an erroneous operation of a light shielding sensor arranged adjacently.

The elevator of the present invention is provided on the wall around the entrance / exit of the elevator car, and the registration operation of the destination floor is executed by bringing an object close to a plurality of non-contact sensors provided corresponding to each destination floor. It is an elevator that can be configured, and is adjacent to the first sensor row in which a plurality of non-contact sensors are arranged along the vertical direction and the first sensor row at a position farther from the entrance / exit than the first sensor row. A second sensor row consisting of a plurality of non-contact sensors arranged in such a manner is included, and the non-contact sensor in the second sensor row detects an object located farther from the wall than the non-contact sensor in the first sensor row. It is equipped with an operation panel that can be configured.

The elevator of the present invention may be provided with a notification unit that notifies the detection of an object by a non-contact sensor .

The elevator of the present invention may include a control unit that accepts registration of the destination floor when the non-contact sensor continuously detects an object for a predetermined time.

The elevator of the present invention includes a control unit that accepts registration of the destination floor when the non-contact sensor continuously detects an object for a predetermined time, and the notification unit is the first until the object is continuously detected for a predetermined time. In addition to notifying the detection of the object by the non-contact sensor in the notification mode, if the control unit accepts the registration of the destination floor, it may notify that the registration of the destination floor has been accepted in the second notification mode. ..

In the elevator of the present invention, the notification unit is a light emitting unit configured to be capable of emitting light, the first notification mode is a mode in which the light emitting unit blinks, and the second notification mode is a mode in which the light emitting unit is lit. May be.

In the elevator of the present invention, the first notification mode may be a mode in which the light emitting unit blinks a predetermined number of times during a predetermined time.
In the elevator of the present invention, the non-contact sensor may be a light-shielding sensor configured to detect light-shielding caused by an object.

According to the elevator of the present invention, the light-shielding sensor in the second sensor row is configured to be able to detect light-shielding at a position away from the wall portion than the light-shielding sensor in the first sensor row. For this reason, when a passenger holds his / her hand over the light-shielding sensor in the second sensor row to block light, the light-shielding sensor in the adjacent first sensor row detects the light-shielding and the registration operation of the destination floor is mistakenly performed. Can be suppressed.

As a result, it is possible to smoothly perform the registration operation of the destination floor while suppressing the erroneous operation of the light-shielding sensors arranged adjacent to each other.

Hereinafter, the elevator 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each figure, "X" shown in the figure indicates a horizontal direction X substantially parallel to the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the drive sheave 18, and "Y" indicates a vertical direction "Y" which is a substantially vertical direction. Indicated, "Z" is assumed to indicate the horizontal direction Z substantially parallel to the axial direction of the drive sheave 18.

As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator 10 is a traction type elevator having a machine room 14 at the uppermost part of the hoistway 12, and is installed in a public building such as a hospital or a nursing facility, for example. A main rope 19 is hung on the drive sheave 18 of the hoisting machine 16 installed in the machine room 14, a car 20 is connected to one end of the main rope 19, and a counterweight W is attached to the other end. It is connected.

The rotational power from the motor (not shown) of the hoisting machine 16 is transmitted to the drive sheave 18 via the power transmission mechanism (not shown), and when the drive sheave 18 is rotationally driven, the main rope 19 is accompanied by this. The car 20 traveling and suspended from the main rope 19 is guided by a guide rail (not shown) and moves along the hoistway 12 in the vertical direction Y.

The building where the elevator 10 is installed is provided with landings 26A, 26B, 26C (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as "boarding area 26" if it is not necessary to distinguish them) on different floors, and the elevator 10 is in operation. The car 20 repeatedly moves up and down from the landing on the currently landing floor (landing 26C in FIG. 1) to the landing on the next destination floor (for example, landing 26A).

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration around an entrance / exit 22 in which a left / right double door type car door 22A is installed in the car 20. FIG. 3 is a front view showing the configuration of the car operation panel 23. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the car operation panel 23 has a decorative panel SP having a flat appearance shape, and the panel SP has substantially the same plane as the surface of the sleeve wall 22-1 adjacent to the entrance / exit 22. Is fitted into the mounting recess 22D (see FIG. 4) provided in the sleeve wall 22-1 so as to form the above. As shown in FIG. 3, the car operation panel 23 has a display unit 24 having a function of displaying the elevating direction of the car 20 and the number of floors being passed on the upper part, and a destination floor registration operation directly below the display unit 24. A destination floor operation area 30 having a function of performing the above is provided. Further, on the car operation panel 23, a door open button 27 for performing a door open operation of the car door 22A and a door close button 29 for performing a door close operation are arranged immediately below the destination floor operation area 30.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the destination floor operation area 30, the entrance / exit side sensor row (first sensor row) 31 and the wall side sensor row (first sensor row) 31 having a function of performing the registration operation of the destination floor of the car 20 in a non-contact manner are performed. The second sensor row) 35 is arranged along the vertical direction Y, respectively. Both sensor rows 31 and 35 are provided side by side along the horizontal direction Z so as to be adjacent to each other. The sensor row 31 on the entrance / exit side has sensor units 32A, 32B, 32C, ... (Hereinafter, if it is not necessary to distinguish them, they are appropriately referred to as "32"). Are arranged in this order from bottom to top.

The wall-side sensor row 35 is located on the side wall 22-2 (see FIG. 2) side, which is located away from the entrance / exit 22 from the entrance / exit side sensor row 31, and has sensor units 36A and 36B corresponding to the 6th floor to the 10th floor. , 36C, ... (Hereinafter, if it is not necessary to distinguish them, they are appropriately referred to as "36") are arranged in this order from the bottom to the top.

Here, since the peripheral configurations of the sensor unit 32 and the sensor unit 32 are almost the same as the peripheral configurations of the sensor unit 36 and the sensor unit 36, the peripheral configurations of the sensor unit 36 and the sensor unit 36 will be mainly described in the following description. The description of the peripheral configuration of the sensor unit 32 and the sensor unit 32 will be omitted as appropriate. The sensor unit 36 is referred to as a protective plate PL1, PL2, PL3, ... (Notation) is fitted so as to form substantially the same plane as the decorative panel SP. On the front side of each protective plate PL, a mark indicating the position of the photoelectric sensor, that is, the position where the hand should be held is displayed to the passenger. A reflective photoelectric sensor (not shown) in which a floodlight and a light receiver are integrated is installed and stored on the back side of the protective plate PL. This reflective photoelectric sensor irradiates light from a floodlight and detects the presence or absence of an object (light shielding) based on a change in the amount of reflected light received from the object received by the light receiver.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, directly above each sensor unit 36, floor number display units (notification units) 37A, 37B, 37C, ... If it is not necessary to distinguish between them, it is preferable to provide a floor display unit "37") as appropriate. Further, directly below each sensor unit 36, L-shaped display units (notification units) 38A, 38B, 38C, designed to divide the combination of the corresponding sensor unit 36 and the floor number display unit 37 for each floor, ... (Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish between them, it is referred to as an L-shaped display unit "38").

The floor number display unit 37 is a light emitting unit having an external shape imitating a number indicating the number of floors of each destination floor, and similarly, the L-shaped display unit 38 is a light emitting unit having an external shape imitating an L shape. The floor display unit 37 and the L-shaped display unit 38 are each composed of a member having translucency and a lamp such as an LED having a function of illuminating the member. In FIG. 3, the state in which the destination floor display unit 37A and the L-shaped display unit 38A corresponding to the sensor unit 36A are emitting light is shown by adding black to the light emitting portion. It is preferable that the floor number display unit 37 and the L-shaped display unit 38 are controlled in the light emitting state in either the first notification mode or the second notification mode via the control device 50 described in detail later. ..

The first notification mode is a mode in which the corresponding floor display unit 37 and the L-shaped display unit 38 blink when the sensor unit 36 detects light blocking. By blinking the corresponding display units 37 and 38 based on the light-shielding detection of the sensor unit 36 in this way, the passenger can know that the light-shielding has been detected. This also has the advantage that passengers can hold a shield such as a hand in an appropriate position.

In the second notification mode, when the control device 50 (detailed in the latter part) accepts the registration of the destination floor based on the light blocking detection of the sensor unit 36 during the first notification mode, it corresponds to the sensor unit 36. This mode is for lighting a certain floor display unit 37 and an L-shaped display unit 38. As a result, it is possible to notify the passengers that the registration of the destination floor has been accepted.

Further, as described above, the floor display unit 37 and the L-shaped display unit 38 arranged around the sensor unit 36 are blinked or turned on in conjunction with the light-shielding detection state of the sensor unit 36, so that the passenger is in the light-shielding detection state. And the registration status of the destination floor can be grasped.

For this reason, the passenger tries to hold a shield such as a hand at a position slightly away from the car operation panel 23 so that the lighting state of both display units 37 and 38 can be easily visually confirmed. There is also an advantage that it is difficult to contact and it is possible to more reliably prevent infectious diseases.

FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing a cross-sectional configuration of the sensor units 32 and 36 when cut along the line AA shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, a partial cross-sectional hatching is omitted. Further, in FIG. 4, the detection range R1 in which the sensor unit 32 constituting the entrance / exit side sensor row 31 detects light-shielding and the detection range R2 in which the sensor unit 36 constituting the wall-side sensor row 35 detects light-shielding are shown by broken lines. It is shown in a box.

As shown in FIG. 4, the maximum detection distance X1 from the surface of the decorative panel SP in which the sensor unit 32 constituting the entrance / exit side sensor row 31 detects light shielding is such that the sensor unit 36 constituting the wall side sensor row 35 blocks light shielding. It is configured to be shorter than the maximum detection distance X2 from the surface of the decorative panel SP for detecting. As an example, the maximum detection distance X1 may be 5 cm and the maximum detection distance X2 may be 10 cm.

Here, the two arrows P1 and P2 shown in FIG. 4 schematically show the moving direction of a shield such as a baggage or a hand that the passenger brings to the sensor unit 36 in order to detect light shielding by the sensor unit 36. Is.

The arrow P1 indicates the moving direction of the shield when the shield is brought close to the sensor unit 36 from the front side of the wall side sensor row 35, and the arrow P2 is the shield when the shield is brought close to the sensor unit 36 from the entrance / exit side. It shows the direction of movement of an object.

As shown in FIG. 4, when light-shielding is detected by holding a shield such as a hand over the sensor unit 36 constituting the wall-side sensor row 35, the sensor unit 36 is shielded from the front side as shown by arrow P1. Unlike the case where an object is brought close to the sensor unit 36 to detect shading, when an object such as a hand is brought close to the sensor unit 36 from a position closer to the entrance / exit 22 (see FIG. 2) indicated by the arrow P2. A shield such as a passenger's arm crosses a position close to the detection range R1 of the sensor unit 32 in the sensor row 31 on the entrance / exit side. Therefore, if the maximum detection distance X1 of the sensor unit 32 of the entrance / exit side sensor row 31 is set to the same distance as the maximum detection distance X2 of the sensor unit 36 of the wall side sensor row 35, along the arrow P2. When the shield is moved, it crosses the detection range of the sensor unit 32, and the sensor unit 32 tends to detect light shielding.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the maximum detection distance X1 of light shielding in the sensor unit 32 of the entrance / exit side sensor row 31 is set to be shorter than the maximum detection distance X2 of light shielding in the sensor unit 36 of the wall side sensor row 35. There is. As a result, as shown by the arrow P2, when the shield is brought closer to the sensor unit 36 from the entrance / exit 22 side, it is unlikely that the sensor unit 32 of the entrance / exit side sensor row 31 will mistakenly detect light shielding. Become.

The car operation panel 23 having the above configuration is electrically connected to the control device (control unit) 50 (see FIG. 1) installed in the machine room 14 (see FIG. 1). The control device 50 is a computer that controls the operation of the car 20 based on a registration operation of the destination floor performed via the car operation panel 23 or the like, and includes a CPU, a memory, and the like. In the memory, for example, various control programs for controlling the drive of the hoisting machine 16 are stored. When the CPU reads these programs from the memory and executes them, the smooth operation of the elevator 10 by the control device 50 is realized. In the present embodiment, the control device 50 is installed in the machine room 14, but it may be installed in the car 20 or other places.

Here, the flow of destination floor registration control in the control device 50 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, when the sensor unit 36 of the destination floor operation area 30 detects light shielding (YES in step S1), the control device 50 has a floor display unit 37 and an L-shape corresponding to the sensor unit 36 that has detected light shielding. The first notification mode for blinking the display unit 38 is executed (step S2). As a result, it is possible to notify the passenger that the sensor unit 36 has detected light blocking. Then, when the control device 50 continuously detects the light blocking for a predetermined time (YES in step S3), the control device 50 accepts the registration of the destination floor (step S4). The length of the predetermined time may be set to, for example, about 2 to 3 seconds. In this way, by blinking both the display units 37 and 38 continuously for a predetermined time before accepting the registration of the destination floor, the passenger can confirm the destination floor where the registration operation is performed before the registration.

Further, the control device 50 executes a second notification mode for lighting the floor number display unit 37 and the L-shaped display unit 38 corresponding to the sensor unit 36 that has received the registration of the destination floor and detected the light blocking, and executes a series of destination floors. The registration control process is terminated (step S5). In this way, the passengers can know that the destination floor has been registered by changing both the display units 37 and 38 from the blinking state to the lighting state.

Further, if the passenger mistakenly causes the sensor unit 36 to detect the shading by accepting the registration of the destination floor after continuously detecting the shading for a predetermined time, the destination floor registration is accepted by the control device 50. It is also possible to prevent the registration of the destination floor from being mistakenly made by stopping the shading before it is done.

In steps S2 and S3, the control device 50 controls the floor display unit 37 and the L-shaped display unit 38 to blink a predetermined number of times, for example, five times while continuously detecting light blocking for a predetermined time. May be good. This makes it easier for passengers to know how long the sensor unit 36 should be shielded from light before the destination floor is registered.

Further, when the sensor unit 36 stops detecting the light shielding in step S3 before the lapse of a predetermined time (NO in step S3, NO in step S1), the first notification mode is being executed. The floor number display unit 37 and the L-shaped display unit 38 corresponding to the sensor unit 36 that has detected shading are turned off (YES in step S6, step S7), and a series of destination floor registration processes is completed.

In the present embodiment, the control device 50 blinks the floor display unit 37 and the L-shaped display unit 38 as the first notification mode, and lights both the display units 37 and 38 as the second notification mode. In the notification mode, both display units 37 and 38 may be lit in different colors (for example, white and orange).

In the above description, the flow of destination floor registration control by the control device 50 is described by taking as an example the case where the sensor unit 36 detects light shielding, but the same applies when the sensor unit 32 detects light shielding. Registration control of the destination floor is executed.

According to the elevator 10 of the present embodiment, the sensor portion 36 of the wall side sensor row 35 is located farther from the decorative panel SP, in other words, the sleeve wall 22-1, than the sensor portion 32 of the entrance / exit side sensor row 31. It is configured to be able to detect the shading of. Therefore, when a passenger holds his / her hand over the sensor unit 36 of the wall-side sensor row 35 to detect light-shielding, the sensor unit 32 of the adjacent entrance / exit-side sensor row 31 detects the light-shielding, so that the destination floor It is possible to prevent the registration operation of the above from being performed by mistake.

As a result, the registration operation of the destination floor can be smoothly performed while suppressing the erroneous operation of the adjacent sensor unit 32.

Subsequently, the operation panels 63 and 80, which are the first modification example and the second modification example of the car operation panel 23 in the above embodiment, will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

Both the sensor units 72 and 76 have the same configuration as the sensor units 32 and 36 in the above-described embodiment, except that they are adjacent to each other so that their positions in the vertical direction Y are staggered. By arranging both sensor units 72 and 76 alternately in this way, the detection range of the adjacent sensor unit 72 when a shield such as a hand is held over the sensor unit 76 located on the back side when viewed from the entrance 22 It is possible to prevent the registration operation of the destination floor from being mistakenly performed by the above-mentioned shield crossing.

Here, since the peripheral configurations of the sensor units 72 and 76 are the same, only the peripheral configuration of the sensor unit 76 will be described below.

The sensor unit 76 is provided with a floor number display unit 77A, 77B, 77C, ...
