Description

The present invention relates to an elevator control method and an elevator device.

A control panel is provided inside the elevator car, and passengers register their destination floor by operating buttons on the control panel. There are also elevators that have non-contact sensors on the operation panel, and in such elevators, the destination floor can be registered by the sensors detecting input from passengers. In operation panels using non-contact sensors, measures are taken to prevent incorrect registration of destination floors that passengers do not intend.

For example, Patent Document 1 describes a car operation panel that is a non-contact operation panel having a plurality of sensors that non-contact detects an operation for determining a destination floor, and a car operation panel based on detection conditions for detecting the operation. , a control device that controls whether or not to register a destination floor.The control device detects the operation when a destination floor sensor corresponding to the destination floor among the plurality of sensors continuously detects the operation until a first threshold time. When the destination floor is registered and the operation is detected continuously until the second threshold time, a process to notify that fact is executed and the registration is canceled.''

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-142686

As described above, the technology described in Patent Document 1 detects the passenger's body part and baggage by continuously detecting the passenger's body part and baggage when the operation of the destination floor sensor is continuously detected until the second threshold time. In order to prevent unintended erroneous registration, the registration of the destination floor is canceled (paragraph 0040 of Patent Document 1, etc.). However, for example, if a foreign object such as dust adheres to the sensor itself, the sensor may detect the foreign object and register the call once, which may result in erroneous registration.

Furthermore, due to the non-contact feature, depending on the user's perspective, there is a possibility of erroneous registration, such as registering a floor other than the desired destination floor while searching for which destination floor the sensor is on. If such incorrect registration is performed, depending on the elevator situation, the elevator may start running before the cancel function is activated, and the elevator may stop at an unintended floor.

An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator control method and elevator device that can suppress erroneous registration.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for controlling an elevator equipped with a non-contact sensor that detects input from a passenger, in which input information of a plurality of non-contact sensors is detected, and then the non-contact sensor It is not determined that the input detection condition of the non-contact sensor is satisfied until the input information becomes a single piece of input information, and the input detection condition of the non-contact sensor becomes a single piece of input information. The present invention is characterized in that, when the input detection condition is no longer satisfied after the input detection condition is satisfied, the input information of the non-contact sensor when the input detection condition was satisfied is registered.

The present invention also provides a car, a counterweight connected to the car via a main rope, a hoist that drives the main rope to raise and lower the car, and a destination floor of the car. and an elevator control system that controls the hoisting machine based on the information input from the non-contact sensor. After detecting a plurality of pieces of input information, it is not determined that the input detection condition of the non-contact sensor is satisfied until the input information of the non-contact sensor becomes a single piece of input information, and the input information of the non-contact sensor is When the input detection condition of the non-contact sensor is no longer satisfied after becoming a single piece of input information and the input detection condition of the non-contact sensor is no longer satisfied, register the input information of the non-contact sensor when the input detection condition was satisfied. It is characterized by

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Similar components are given the same reference numerals, and similar descriptions will not be repeated.

The various components of the present invention do not necessarily have to exist independently, and one component may be made up of multiple members, multiple components may be made of one member, or a certain component may be different from each other. It is allowed that a part of a certain component overlaps with a part of another component, etc.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an elevator apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Although not shown, the elevator device of this embodiment includes a car, a counterweight connected to the car via a main rope, and a hoist that drives the main rope to raise and lower the car. It is equipped with The car and counterweight move up and down within the hoistway.

An operation panel control device 20 equipped with a push button 21 and a non-contact sensor 22 is installed in the car. Note that the target destination floor is clearly indicated on the pushbutton 21 and the non-contact sensor 22, and there are a plurality of them. These are generally arranged in a line vertically with respect to the operation panel 200 (see FIG. 3), but they may also be arranged horizontally.

Furthermore, an in-car display device 31 such as a liquid crystal display is installed in the car in order to guide passengers in the car about the operation status of the elevator, and a display control device 30 for controlling the in-car display device 31 is installed in the car. will be attached. Further, a sound output device 41 such as a speaker is provided, and a sound control device 40 for controlling the sound output device 41 is also provided. Further, the operation panel control device 20, the display control device 30, and the sound control device 40 are connected to the elevator control system 1 by a tail cord or the like. Note that the push button 21 includes a display section that lights up when the destination floor is registered.

The elevator control system 1 determines whether or not to drive the user to the desired destination floor based on input from the push button 21 or the non-contact sensor 22 via the operation panel control device 20. Although the elevator control system 1 is generally installed in a machine room or the like where a hoist for raising and lowering an elevator car is installed, the installation location is not limited to this. For example, it may be installed in a hoistway where an elevator goes up and down. The elevator control system 1 controls inputs and outputs of a car, a hoisting machine, each operation panel control device 20, display control device 30, and sound control device 40 installed in the car, travel commands, door opening, etc. , implement orders to close doors, etc.

When the inputs of the push button 21 and the non-contact sensor 22 are correctly registered via the operation panel control device 20, the button control unit 10 lights up the lamp attached to the push button 21 that is the target destination floor. , the user is notified that the target destination floor has been registered. As for the lamp, it may be integrated with the push button 21, or an LED may be provided separately to provide another notification means. Furthermore, even when the destination floor is registered by the non-contact sensor 22, the button control unit 10 controls the lighting/blinking/extinguishing of the lamp so that the non-contact sensor 22 indicates the target destination floor. Notifies whether or not it is detected.

The display control device 30 switches the display of the in-car display device 31 and displays a target image or video according to a display command transmitted from the elevator control system 1. For display, the images and videos registered in advance in the display control device 30 are classified by code, and the registered images and videos are displayed by receiving the target code from the elevator control system 1. Alternatively, image data and video data may be directly received from the elevator control system 1 and displayed on the in-car display device 31. In this embodiment, a liquid crystal is used as an example of the in-car display device 31, but the display device 31 is not limited to this, and may be, for example, an LED display, electronic paper, or a projection method using a projector.

The sound control device 40 outputs target electronic sounds, voices, and music using the sound output device 41 in accordance with display commands transmitted from the elevator control system 1. When outputting sound, similar to the display control device 30, the sound output device 41 classifies registered electronic sounds, voices, and music by code, and receives the target code from the elevator control system 1. Outputs registered electronic sounds, voices, and music. Alternatively, electronic sound data, audio data, and music data may be directly received from the elevator control system 1 and displayed on the sound output device 41. In this embodiment, a speaker is illustrated as the sound output device 41, but the present invention is not limited to this.

Next, the internal processing of the elevator control system 1 will be explained. In the elevator control system 1, the reception unit 2 receives input information from the pushbuttons 21 and non-contact sensors 22, and receives data from the operation panel control device 20. The non-contact input determination unit 3 determines whether the input data is input from the non-contact sensor 22. If the input is from the pushbutton 21, the non-contact input determining section 3 does not detect the presence or absence of the input, but the button operation detection section 4 detects the presence or absence of the input. For each piece of input information, the stop floor permission determining unit 5 determines whether or not the car is on a serviceable floor. For example, if it is a floor that is not serviceable due to security, it is determined that the input target floor is not serviceable. If the service is not available, the display command unit 8 and the sound guidance processing unit 9 will issue a voice code or image code that indicates that the service is not available, such as "Doesn't stop on this floor." It is output to the display control device 30 and the sound control device 40.

If it is the service target floor of the input target floor, if the input is from the non-contact sensor 22, the registration determination unit 6 determines whether or not destination floor registration is necessary. If the input is from the pushbutton 21, the destination floor of the input target floor is directly registered by the destination floor registration unit 7, and preparations for traveling the car to the destination floor are started.

In this embodiment, the processing of the registration determination unit 6 in the case where the input is from the non-contact sensor 22 is that after the input from the non-contact sensor 22 is continuously detected for a predetermined period of time, the input from the non-contact sensor 22 is no longer detected. register the destination floor of the car. Note that after the input of the non-contact sensor 22 has been continuously detected for a predetermined period of time, the sound guidance processing unit 9 outputs, for example, an electronic sound command to the sound control device 40, so that the non-contact sensor 22 Informs you that input has been detected. The display control device 30 may be used as the guidance method. Alternatively, the lamp of the target destination floor on the operation panel may be used.

When the registration of the destination floor is completed in the destination floor registration section 7, the button control section 10 executes control of the lamp on the target floor. When the registration is completed, the lighting processing unit 11 of the button control unit 10 lights up the lamp on the target floor. The registration will be canceled if there is any cancellation action or if the elevator arrives at the target floor. At that time, the lamps on the target floor are turned off by the lights-off processing unit 13. Note that the button control unit 10 controls the lamps by turning on/off the lamps in accordance with the turning on/off commands transmitted from the elevator control system 1 to the operation panel control device 20.

Next, a control method of the elevator control system 1 will be explained using FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an elevator control method according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

When an input is received from a pushbutton 21 or a non-contact sensor 22 installed inside the car, the receiving section 2 receives the input signal.

In step S100, the non-contact input determination unit 3 determines whether or not the non-contact sensor 22 has detected an input from any floor. If they match), the process moves to step S101, and if no input is detected (if the input information of the non-contact sensor 22 and the input detection condition do not match), the process moves to step S120. The input detection condition is intended to mean that the input of the non-contact sensor 22 that has detected the object (a hand in the first embodiment) has reached a predetermined distance and/or a predetermined time.

In step S101, the stop floor permission determination unit 5 determines whether the floor to be input from the non-contact sensor 22 is a floor on which the elevator is not stopped, and if it is not the floor where the elevator is stopped (if the conditions are met) ), the process moves to step S102, and if this is the floor where the elevator stops (if the conditions are not met), the process ends.

In step S102, the stop floor permission determination unit 5 determines whether the floor subject to input from the non-contact sensor 22 is a serviceable floor, and if it is a serviceable floor (if the conditions are met), The process moves to step S103, and if the service is not available on the floor (if the conditions are not met), the process moves to step S110.

In step S103, upon receiving input from the non-contact sensor 22, the registration determination section 6 outputs a notification command to the sound control device 40 via the button control section 10. The sound control device 40 controls the sound output device 41 and notifies that the input of the non-contact sensor 22 has been detected by any one of sound, display, and lighting of a lamp. After the notification, the process moves to step S104.

In step S104, the history information of the input target floor of the non-contact sensor 22 is turned on. After turning on the history information, the process ends.

In step S110, the stop floor permission determination unit 5 sends a notification via the display command unit 8, display control device 30 and/or sound guidance processing unit 9, and sound control device 40 that the floor to be input by the non-contact sensor 22 is not serviceable. Notify. The notification method uses the in-car display device 31 and the sound output device 41 to notify by sound/display. Further, the stop floor permission determination unit 5 disallows registration of the target floor of the input information of the non-contact sensor 22. After the notification, the process ends.

In step S120, if there is no input from the non-contact sensor 22, the registration determination unit 6 determines whether or not there is an input history for any of the destination floors, and if there is a floor input history (the condition is met). ), the process moves to step S121, and if there is no floor input history (the condition does not match), the process ends.

In step S121, the destination floor registration unit 7 registers the destination floor of the target floor on which the non-contact sensor 22 has input history. After registration, the process moves to step S122.

In step S122, the display command unit 8 issues a lighting command to the lamp of the registered destination floor, causing the lamp to turn on. That is, the display command unit 8 notifies that the input information of the non-contact sensor 22 has been registered. After the lighting command is issued, the process moves to step S123.

In step S123, the registration determination unit 6 turns off (clears) the history information of the registered destination floor.

The above process is executed repeatedly. When a passenger in the elevator holds up his/her hand to cover the non-contact sensor 22 and then avoids the placed hand from the non-contact sensor 22, the input of the non-contact sensor 22 is turned off and the condition of step S100 is no longer met. That is, the input of the non-contact sensor 22 is detected, and the off state of the input is detected. Through the above processing, the target destination floor is registered only when the input from the non-contact sensor 22 is detected and the input is turned off.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the operation panel 200 and the in-car display device 31 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, a non-contact sensor 22 is provided on the right side of the push button 21 on each destination floor.

Although not shown, the pushbutton 21 detects, for example, a display sheet on which floor numbers are printed, a translucent electrode plate located on the back side of the display sheet, and changes in the capacitance of the electrode plate. It consists of a detection circuit and a light source that irradiates the print with light when turned on. When a passenger in the car touches the push button 21 corresponding to the desired destination floor, the capacitance of the electrode plate changes and the light source illuminates the display sheet, causing the push button 21 to light up. , passengers can recognize that the destination floor operation has been performed.

As the non-contact sensor 22, for example, in addition to a photoelectric sensor or a capacitance sensor, a distance sensor such as a TOF (Time of Flight) sensor is used. When a passenger holds his or her hand over the non-contact sensor 22 corresponding to the desired destination floor for a predetermined period of time (for example, 0.3 seconds), a signal is sent to the pushbutton 21, and the light source emits light to turn on the pushbutton. 21, the passenger can recognize that the destination floor has been operated. The distance detected by the non-contact sensor 22 is, for example, 20 mm to 30 mm.

The operation panel 200 also includes a door open push button 23 for requesting a passenger to open the elevator door, a door close push button 24 for requesting a passenger to close the elevator door, and a door open push button 23 and a door close push button 24 for requesting the passenger to close the elevator door. A door open non-contact sensor 25 and a door close non-contact sensor 26, which are non-contact sensors, are installed on the right side of the door close push button 24, respectively.

The operation of setting the destination floor will be explained using FIGS. 4 to 6. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which a non-contact sensor on the third floor detects a hand and notifies that it has been detected. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a state where a hand is continuously placed over the non-contact sensor on the third floor. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a state immediately after the non-contact sensor on the third floor does not detect a hand.

In FIG. 4, when a passenger who has boarded the car places his or her hand over the non-contact sensor 22 near where the third floor of the target destination is clearly indicated, the sensor detects data at a predetermined distance (for example, 20 mm to 30 mm). is obtained. An electronic sound is generated by detecting the detection data for a predetermined period of time (for example, 0.3 seconds). In FIG. 5, the passenger continues to hold his/her hand up on the spot. In the state shown in FIG. 5, the non-contact sensor 22 has not yet detected the non-detection status, so no call registration is performed. In FIG. 6, when the passenger moves his/her hand away from the non-contact sensor 22, the detection data of the non-contact sensor 22 disappears and the destination floor of the target 3rd floor is registered for the first time, and the target 3rd floor is registered for the first time. The lamp lights up.

In the first embodiment, the input information of the non-contact sensor 22 is registered when the input information of the non-contact sensor 22 and the input detection condition no longer match after the input information of the non-contact sensor 22 matches the input detection condition. That's what I do.

According to the first embodiment, with the above configuration, for example, if dust adheres to the sensor, the dust will continue to adhere and the sensor will continue to detect it, so that the destination floor will not be registered and will not be erroneously registered. Registration can be suppressed.

Next, Example 2 will be described using FIGS. 7 to 14. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an elevator control method according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that steps S300 to S302 are added. Portions common to those in Example 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In step S300, the non-contact input determination unit 3 determines whether a plurality of target floors, specifically two or more, have been detected as input information from the non-contact sensor 22, and If two or more are not detected (if the input detection condition is met), the process moves to step S100, and if two or more input target floors are detected (if the input detection condition is not met) Then, the process moves to step S301.

In step S301, the button control unit 10 blinks the lamps of all target floors whose inputs are detected by the non-contact sensor 22. After blinking, the process moves to step S302. At this time, the registration determination section 6 performs a plurality of input determinations of the non-contact sensor 22, and when a plurality of inputs are detected, outputs a blinking command to the button control section 10, and the blinking processing section 12 20, blinking is realized by repeatedly turning on and off the lamp on the target destination floor whose input is detected by the non-contact sensor 22.

In step S302, the registration determination unit 6 turns off (clears) the input history information of the non-contact sensor 22 whose input is detected. After clearing, the process ends.

As described above, by flashing the lamp when multiple inputs from the non-contact sensors 22 are detected, it is notified that the passenger's hand is being detected by multiple non-contact sensors 22, and the position of the passenger's hand is determined. Notifies you that the device is not working properly or is in an abnormal mode such as leaning against the device. Furthermore, by clearing the history information, it is possible to prevent incorrect registration of the destination floor that was entered by mistake when the sensor detection is determined to be the floor that the user really wants to go to after a plurality of detections. That is, in the second embodiment, only the destination floor that the user really wants to go to is registered.

The operation of setting the destination floor will be explained using FIGS. 8 to 14. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing an operation panel and an in-car display device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which a non-contact sensor on the third floor detects a hand and notifies that it has been detected. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the non-contact sensors on the third and fourth floors have detected hands and notified that a plurality of detected abnormalities have occurred. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the non-contact sensor on the fourth floor detects a hand and notifies the user of the detection. FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the non-contact sensors on the fourth and fifth floors have detected hands and notified that a plurality of detected abnormalities have occurred. FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the non-contact sensor on the fifth floor detects a hand and notifies the user of the detection. FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram showing a state immediately after the non-contact sensor on the 5th floor does not detect a hand.

Here, assume a case where the hand is moved from the third floor to the fifth floor. When a passenger places his or her hand over the non-contact sensor 22 on the third floor from the standby state shown in FIG. 8, an input on the third floor is detected, and a notification is sent that the input has been detected (FIG. 9).

After input is detected on the 3rd floor, if you move your hand to the 4th and 5th floors as shown in Figures 10 to 12, the detected data will be 3rd floor → 3rd floor and 4th floor → 4th floor → 4th floor. The order is 5th floor → 5th floor. If the non-contact sensor 22 detects the 3rd and 4th floors (Fig. 10) or the 4th and 5th floors (Fig. 12), then The lights on the 5th floor flash. That is, while the non-contact sensors 22 on the third and fourth floors or the fourth and fifth floors are detecting an input, a blinking lamp indicates that the non-contact sensors 22 are detecting an input. Thereafter, when the non-contact sensors 22 installed on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors respectively detect a hand, a detection notification is given by an electronic sound (FIGS. 9, 11, and 13). However, since the input history is cleared when a plurality of calls are detected, the final call registration is only for the fifth floor, as shown in FIG.

In the second embodiment, when the input information of the non-contact sensor 22 becomes a single input information after a plurality of input information of the non-contact sensor 22 is detected, only the single input detection condition is registered. ing.

According to the second embodiment, since the history information is cleared every time it is detected by the plurality of non-contact sensors 22, it is possible to suppress the erroneous registration of a destination floor that is erroneously input.

Next, Example 3 will be explained using FIGS. 15 to 22. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an elevator control method according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

The third embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that step S302 is deleted. Portions common to Example 1 and Example 2 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In Embodiment 3, incorrect registration cannot be prevented by one passenger's operation, but call registration can also be performed if, for example, two or more passengers are inputting calls and multiple calls are detected at the same time. The configuration is possible.

In step S300, the non-contact input determination unit 3 determines whether a plurality of floors, specifically two or more, have been detected as input targets from the non-contact sensor 22, and if the condition is met, (If two or more input target floors are not detected), the process moves to step S100, and if there is no match (if two or more input target floors are detected), the process moves to step S301.

In step S301, the button control unit 10 blinks the lamps of all target floors whose inputs are detected by the non-contact sensor 22. After blinking, the process ends. At this time, the registration determination section 6 performs a plurality of input determinations of the non-contact sensor 22, and when a plurality of inputs are detected, outputs a blinking command to the button control section 10, and the blinking processing section 12 20, blinking is realized by repeatedly turning on and off the lamp on the target destination floor whose input is detected by the non-contact sensor 22.

The operation of setting the destination floor will be explained using FIGS. 16 to 22. FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram showing an operation panel and an in-car display device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which a non-contact sensor on the third floor detects a hand and notifies that it has been detected. FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the non-contact sensors on the third and fourth floors have detected hands and notified that a plurality of detected abnormalities have occurred. FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the non-contact sensor on the fourth floor detects a hand and notifies that the hand has been detected immediately after the non-contact sensor on the third floor does not detect a hand. FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the non-contact sensors on the fourth and fifth floors have detected hands and notified that a plurality of detected abnormalities have occurred. FIG. 21 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the non-contact sensor on the 5th floor detects a hand and notifies that the hand has been detected immediately after the non-contact sensor on the 4th floor does not detect a hand. FIG. 22 is a schematic diagram showing a state immediately after the non-contact sensor on the 5th floor does not detect a hand.

Here, assume a case where the hand is moved from the third floor to the fifth floor. When a passenger places his/her hand over the non-contact sensor 22 on the third floor from the standby state shown in FIG. 16, an input on the third floor is detected, and a notification is sent that the input has been detected (FIG. 17).

After input is detected on the 3rd floor, if you move your hand to the 4th and 5th floors as shown in Figures 18 to 22, the detected data will be 3rd floor → 3rd floor and 4th floor → 4th floor → 4th floor. The order is 5th floor → 5th floor. If the non-contact sensor 22 detects the 3rd and 4th floors (Fig. 18) or the 4th and 5th floors (Fig. 20), then The lights on the 5th floor flash. Thereafter, when the non-contact sensors 22 installed on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors respectively detect a hand, a detection notification is made with an electronic sound (FIGS. 17, 19, and 21). However, since the input history is not cleared when multiple items are detected, call registration is performed when the non-contact sensor 22 on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors respectively becomes undetected, and the lamp on the target destination floor is activated. It lights up (Figure 22).

In the third embodiment, even if a plurality of pieces of input information of the non-contact sensor 22 are detected and then the input information of the non-contact sensor 22 becomes a single piece of input information, a plurality of input detection conditions are registered. That's what I do.

According to the third embodiment, even if two or more passengers input calls from their respective non-contact sensors 22 and a plurality of calls are detected at the same time, the call for the destination floor can be registered.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, divided into Examples 1 to 3, but the present invention is not limited to Examples 1 to 3, and includes various modifications. Further, it is also possible to replace a part of the configuration of one embodiment with the configuration of another embodiment, and it is also possible to add the configuration of another embodiment to the configuration of one embodiment. Furthermore, it is also possible to add, delete, or replace some of the configurations of each embodiment with other configurations.

Further, although the object is a destination floor in a car, it may be applied to a call registration device installed at a landing or a destination floor registration device installed at a landing.

The means for notifying that the sensor has been detected through an electronic sound after a certain period of time has elapsed since the input from the non-contact sensor 22 is not limited to this. For example, a method may be used in which a lamp is lit or blinked, or the color of the lamp is changed and the lamp is lit or blinked, or a method in which detected floor information is output using the in-car display device 31.

In addition, although the history information is cleared after detecting multiple items, the purpose of this method is to not allow registration until the user's destination floor input is determined by the non-contact sensor 22, so this embodiment It can be applied to methods other than the method of registering a call when input detection is off. For example, if the input time of the non-contact sensor 22 reaches a certain time, it can be realized by clearing the input time count if the call registration is performed when the input time of the non-contact sensor 22 reaches a certain time. but not limited to.
