Embodiment 1.
FIG. 1 is a front view showing an elevator hall button device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the elevator landing button device of FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the elevator hall button device of FIG. 1. FIG. The elevator hall button device 1A includes a hall button supporting portion 101 provided on the hall wall 2 and a hall button 102 supported by the hall button supporting portion 101 . The hall button 102 is operated by the user.

Further, the elevator hall button device 1A includes a depression time measurement unit 103 that measures the time during which the hall button 102 is continuously operated, and a time period in which the hall button 102 is continuously operated based on the measurement result of the depression time measurement unit 103. An abnormal push detection unit 104 for detecting an operation and a notification unit 105 for notifying that an abnormality has occurred in the hall button 102 based on the detection result of the abnormal push detection unit 104 are provided.

The hall button 102 is electrically connected to an elevator control panel (not shown). The elevator control panel controls elevation of a car (not shown). When the hall button 102 is operated by the user, a hall call corresponding to the hall where the hall button 102 operated is arranged is registered in the elevator control panel. By registering the hall call on the elevator control panel, the car moves to the hall where the operated hall button 102 is arranged.

The pressing time measurement unit 103 is electrically connected to the hall button 102 . While the hall button 102 is being continuously operated, the operation time signal indicating that the hall button 102 is being operated is continuously input from the hall button 102 to the depression time measurement unit 103 . The pressing time measurement unit 103 has a timer (not shown). The pressing time measurement unit 103 measures the time during which the operation time signal is continuously input. The time measured by the pressing time measurement unit 103 is defined as the continuous operation time.

The abnormal pressing detection section 104 is electrically connected to the pressing time measuring section 103 . The measurement result of the pressing time measurement unit 103 is input to the abnormal pressing detection unit 104 . An abnormal time is set in the abnormal press detection unit 104 . The abnormal push detection unit 104 detects that the hall button 102 is continuously operated based on whether or not the continuous operation time reaches the abnormal time. Specifically, the abnormal push detection unit 104 determines that the hall button 102 has not been continuously operated when the continuous operation time has not reached the abnormal time. On the other hand, the abnormal push detection unit 104 determines that the hall button 102 has been operated continuously when the continuous operation time reaches the abnormal time. The abnormal time set in the abnormal press detection unit 104 can be changed to any time.

The pressing time measurement unit 103 and the abnormal pressing detection unit 104 are arranged at the hall. Note that the pressing time measurement unit 103 and the abnormal pressing detection unit 104 may be configured by an elevator control panel.

The notification unit 105 is electrically connected to the abnormal press detection unit 104 . The detection result of the abnormal press detection unit 104 is input to the notification unit 105 . The notification unit 105 notifies that an abnormality has occurred in the hall button 102 when the abnormal push detection unit 104 detects that the hall button 102 has been continuously operated. Examples of the notification unit 105 include a speaker, a display device, and the like.

The notification unit 105 is arranged at the boarding point. The notification unit 105 notifies that the hall button 102 has an abnormality, so that people around the notification unit 105 can be notified that the hall button 102 has an abnormality.

A person who knows that the hall button 102 has an abnormality removes the foreign object operating the hall button 102 . This prevents the landing button 102 from being maintained in a state of being operated by a foreign object.

As described above, according to the elevator hall button device 1A according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the pressing time measuring section 103 for measuring the time during which the hall button 102 is continuously operated and the pressing time measuring section and an abnormal push detection unit 104 for detecting continuous operation of the hall button 102 based on the measurement result of 103 . As a result, when a foreign object hits the hall button 102 and the hall button 102 is still being operated, it is possible to detect that the hall button 102 is continuously being operated.

Further, the elevator hall button device 1A further includes a notification section 105 that notifies that an abnormality has occurred in the hall button 102 based on the detection result of the abnormal depression detection section 104 . As a result, when a foreign object hits the hall button 102 and the hall button 102 is still being operated, it is possible to inform people around the informing unit 105 that an abnormality has occurred in the hall button 102 . As a result, the impossibility of movement of the car is suppressed.

Embodiment 2.
