Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a device for operating an elevator in a crime prevention manner.

When the elevator car door closes, it becomes a closed room, and many crimes are taking advantage of this to assault passengers (particularly women). Usually, an emergency call button is provided inside the car, and in case of an emergency, passengers can use this button to notify the outside of an abnormality inside the car. However, if the culprit restrains a passenger, it becomes impossible for the passenger to press the emergency call button. Therefore, in order to prevent this, for example, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 102481/1981, abnormal movements of passengers in the car are detected by changes in light, and alarm devices, broadcasting devices, nearest floor stopping devices, etc. It has been proposed to operate the Furthermore, there are systems that attempt to detect the occurrence of the above-mentioned crime based on the occurrence of abnormal vibrations within the car.

However, passengers do not necessarily make abnormal movements when threatened by a criminal; on the contrary, they often stand still, making it impossible to completely detect the occurrence of a crime. Furthermore, if there is only one passenger in the car, it cannot be guaranteed that the passenger himself will not make abnormal movements. In fact, it is possible that he makes such a move because he feels comfortable and there is no one else on board. Even in such a case, the above-mentioned abnormality detection is performed and the manager is forced to deal with it, which increases the burden on the manager. In other words, there is always a risk that passengers may suffer damage because a crime cannot be detected, or a crime may be mistakenly detected when it is not a crime.

This invention is intended to improve the above-mentioned problem, and when it is detected that there are people outside the predetermined range inside the car, the operation of the car is controlled. To provide a security operation device for an elevator, which performs crime prevention operation of a car only when a person is present.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, 1 is the elevator car, 1a is the entrance to the car 1, 2 is the car door that opens and closes the entrance 1a, 3 is the in-car operation panel installed on the wall near the entrance 2, and 4
A passenger is within a predetermined range for one passenger set in front of the in-car operation panel 3. 5 is a passenger detection device consisting of a Matsuto switch installed outside the above predetermined range, and 5a is its normally open contact. , 6 is a landing on the floor, 6a is an entrance to the landing 6, 7 is a landing door that opens and closes the entrance 6a, and 8 is a door closing command relay that closes when a door closing command is issued and opens when the car door 2 is fully closed. Contact 9 is a door open command relay contact 1 that closes when the door open command is issued and opens when the car door 2 is fully opened.
0 is a door driving electric motor (not shown) when energized.
11 is a door opening relay that rotates the car door 2 in the closing direction; 12 is a door opening relay that also rotates the car door 2 in the opening direction; and 12 is a door opening relay that rotates the car door 2 in the closing direction; 12 is a door opening relay that rotates the car door 2 in the closing direction; 13 is a crime prevention operation command relay, and 13a is its normally closed contact.

(+) and (-) are DC power supplies.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When the 41 passengers are standing within a predetermined range in front of the in-car operation panel 3 and there is no one else in the area, the passenger detection device contact 5a is open and the crime prevention driving command relay 13 is deenergized. Contact 13a is closed,
Contacts 13b and 13c are open. When the passenger 4 presses the destination floor button on the in-car operation panel 3, the door close command relay contact 8 closes, the door close relay 10 is energized, the car door 2 closes, and the landing door opens in conjunction with this. 7 will also close. Car 1 now runs towards the floor registered with the destination floor button. When the car 1 arrives at the above floor, the door opening command relay contact 9 is closed, the door opening relay 11 is energized, and the car door 2 and the landing door 7 are opened. Since these operations are normal elevator operations, detailed explanations will be omitted.

Suppose that a criminal with some kind of criminal intention against Passenger 4 boarded the vehicle late at night after Passenger 4. At this time, the passenger detection device 5 operates, and the contact 5
a is closed. When the passenger 4 presses the destination floor button, the security timing detection relay contact 12 closes, so the (+)-5a-12-13-(-) circuit
The crime prevention driving command relay 13 is energized and the contact 13a
is opened, and contacts 13b and 13c are closed. Due to the opening of the contact 13a, the door closing relay 10 is not energized even if the door closing command relay contact 8 is closed. on the other hand,
Since the door opening relay 11 is energized by the closing of the contact 13b, the car door 2 and the landing door 7 remain open, and the car 1 does not depart. Therefore, the inside of the car 1 is not kept in a closed room condition, so that crimes can be prevented from occurring. If the criminal enters the predetermined range where the passenger 4 is and attempts to restrain the passenger, the passenger 4 will either put only one foot over the passenger detection device 5 or throw a handbag or the like onto the passenger detection device 5. For example, the car 1 can be easily placed in the door-open standby state as described above.

On the other hand, by closing the contact point 13c, the in-car announcement device 14 is activated, such as "Customer boarding later. Please get off" or "The security device has activated."
etc. will be broadcast. Additionally, the in-car display 15 also operates and displays the same information. Furthermore, the manager's room notification device 16 operates and the manager's room is also notified. As a result, the criminal is deterred from committing the crime and is restrained from carrying out the crime. Moreover, it is possible to give a sense of security to passengers.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the invention.

In the figure, 13d and 13e are security driving command relay 1
3 is a normally closed contact, 13f is also a normally open contact, 18~
20 are the destination floor buttons for the 1st to 3rd floors, 21
- 23 are car call registration relays on the 1st to 3rd floors, respectively, 21a to 23a are their normally open contacts, 24a,
24b is a car position relay contact that opens when car 1 reaches the first floor, 24c is a car position relay contact that also closes, and 25 and 26 are car position relay contacts that open when car 1 reaches the first floor.
This is a car position relay contact that opens when the car reaches the first and third floors. Other than the above, it is the same as in FIG. 2.

Now, car 1 is on the 1st floor, and only 41 passengers get on car 1 and press the destination floor button 20 on the 3rd floor.
(+)-20-26-23-(-) circuit, 3
The car call registration relay 23 on the floor is energized, and the contact 2
It maintains itself by closing 3a. Now, as described above, the door closing relay 10 is energized, the car door 2 and the landing door 7 are closed, the car 1 runs, and stops at the third floor (details are omitted). When car 1 arrives at the third floor, door opening relay 11 is energized and car door 2 and landing door 7 are opened. These operations are similar to those shown in FIG.

Assuming that car 1 is on the third floor late at night and another passenger boards the car after passenger 4, the security operation command relay 13 is energized and the contacts 13a, 13d, 13e are activated, as explained in FIG. is opened, and contacts 13b, 13c, and 13f are closed. When door close command relay contact 8 closes, (+)-24b-8-
The door closing relay 10 is energized by the circuit 10-(-), and the car door 2 and the landing door 7 are closed. At this time, even if passenger 4 has not pressed any of the destination floor buttons 18 to 20, (+)-13f-24a-21
- (-) circuit, car call registration relay 2 on the 1st floor
1 is energized and self-retains by closing the contact 21a. Car 1 now runs towards the first floor,
When arriving at the first floor, the car position relay contact 24a,
24b is open and contact 24c is closed. Contact 2
By opening 4a, car call registration relay 2 on the first floor
1 is deactivated. Further, by opening the contact 24b, the door closing relay 10 is deenergized. Also, contact 2
By closing 4c, (+)-13b-24c-1
Since the door opening relay 11 is energized by the circuit 1-(-), the car door 2 and the landing door 7 are opened and maintained in this state. As a result, the car 1 is released from the closed room state, thereby preventing a crime from occurring. It is desirable that the floor where the door is left open is set to a floor with a manager's office or a floor with a lot of foot traffic.

In each of the above embodiments, the passenger detection device 5 is a matsuto switch, but a photoelectric device, an object detection device using ultrasonic waves, etc. are used to detect the passenger 4 in front of the in-car operation panel 3.
It is also possible to configure the system to detect the presence of a person in a location other than the area corresponding to one person.

In addition, the security timing detection relay contact 12 was designed to close during the late night hours after the destination floor buttons 18 to 20 were pressed until the arrival at that floor. An operation button may be provided, and when the operation button is pressed, the destination floor buttons 18 to 20 may be pressed and closed until the destination floor is reached.

As explained above, in this invention, when it is detected that a person is present in a place other than a predetermined range inside an elevator car, the operation of the car is controlled. The car can be operated in a crime-prevention manner only when the car is occupied, reducing the chances of crime occurring inside the car. Furthermore, false detections that occur when only one person is present can be reduced.

Furthermore, since the car is informed that the crime prevention operation has started, it is possible to give a warning to criminals, deter them from committing crimes, and give passengers a sense of security.
