Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Field of Industrial Application> The present invention relates to an elevator guide device, and particularly to an elevator guide device that notifies a message regarding the abnormal condition when an abnormal condition occurs.

<Conventional technology> In recent years, communication lines have been used to connect building management rooms and monitoring centers to monitor the building's crime and disaster prevention, monitor the operation of various equipment in the building, and even monitor the operation of various equipment installed in the building. Centralized monitoring systems, in which the operating states of elevators in the elevator are monitored by corresponding monitoring devices, and monitoring information is reported to a monitoring center, have become widely adopted.

In this type of centralized monitoring system, the elevator monitoring device is equipped with an abnormal state screening circuit that detects the state of the elevator, and when the abnormal state of the elevator is detected by the abnormal state screening circuit, the monitoring device sends a message via a communication line. Abnormal conditions are reported to the monitoring center.

Furthermore, by pressing a call button provided in the elevator car, it is possible to make a call between the passengers in the car and the monitoring center using a communication device.

Therefore, for example, if the elevator's power supply fails and the car remains stopped in the middle of the hoistway, the abnormal condition selection circuit will detect the abnormal condition and the monitoring device will notify the monitoring center that the power supply has failed. A notification signal indicating this is transmitted.

In addition, when a passenger, who became suspicious that the car remained stopped in the middle of the hoistway, pressed the call button inside the car,
The inside of the car and the monitoring center are connected to each other by a communication device, and passengers can receive explanations from the monitoring center about the details of the accident, recovery plans, rescue plans, etc.

On the other hand, when the monitoring center receives an abnormal condition notification signal from the monitoring device, it immediately informs the service company of the occurrence of the accident and its details, and the service company, which receives the notification, dispatches a service person to the scene. Until the service person arrives, the passengers in the car can wait for rescue while communicating with the monitoring center using the communication device as described above.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> The above-described centralized monitoring system is configured such that it is not possible to make calls from the monitoring center side to the inside of the car. For this reason, if the only passengers in an elevator are disabled people, elderly people, or children who are unable to press the call button inside the car, the passengers in that car will not be given any information from the outside and will be at risk of an accident. We must wait for recovery or rescue.

It would be fine if the service person from the service company arrived at the scene quickly, but if the service person gets caught in a traffic jam and is delayed in arriving, these passengers will feel extremely anxious and irritated inside the car. Waiting for accident recovery or rescue.

On the other hand, since information about the accident is not reported to users who are at the hall trying to use the elevator, they have no idea when they will be able to use the elevator, causing discomfort and irritation.

The present invention was made in view of the current state of this type of centralized monitoring system as described above, and its purpose is to explain the occurrence of the abnormal condition and the progress of countermeasures at the monitoring center when an elevator becomes abnormal. However, at least the passengers in the car are notified, and the passengers do not feel anxious or irritated.
To provide an elevator guide device that can wait for accident recovery or rescue.

Means for Solving the Problems> To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an elevator monitoring device that detects an abnormal state when an abnormal state occurs in an elevator and reports the abnormal state to a monitoring center. A detection signal of an abnormal state sorting circuit connected to the circuit and detecting the abnormal state, and an information signal for handling the abnormal state sent from the monitoring center to the monitoring device in response to the report are input, and these signals are The system includes a message selection device for selecting a corresponding message, and a notification device installed at least inside an elevator car to notify the message selected by the message selection device.

In the present invention, when the abnormal state selection circuit detects an abnormal state of the elevator, the detection signal of the abnormal state selection circuit is input to the message selection device, and the message corresponding to the abnormal state is selected by the message selection device. Then, the selected message is notified from the notification device.

In addition, based on the detection signal of the abnormal state selection circuit, an information signal of the action to be taken at the monitoring center in response to the abnormal state notification signal transmitted from the elevator monitoring device to the monitoring center is
The message is input to a message selection device, and a message corresponding to the information signal is selected by the message selection device. and,
The selected message is notified from the notification device.

Therefore, in response to the detection signal from the abnormal state selection circuit, a message such as "The power supply has failed. Please wait for a while" is notified from the notification device. In addition, an information signal from the monitoring center may cause a notification device to issue a message such as ``A service person will arrive at the scene in about 30 minutes, so please wait.'' ” message was conveyed to the public.

Since this notification device is provided inside the elevator car and at least inside the car at the landing, the passengers in the car wait in the car while listening to an explanation of the details of the abnormal condition or the recovery schedule.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail using a block diagram showing its configuration.

As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the output terminal of the elevator control circuit 1 is connected to the input terminal of the abnormal state selection circuit 5, and the output terminal of the abnormal state selection circuit 5 is connected to the transmitter 6 and the AND circuit 1.

The output terminal of the receiver 7 is connected to the input terminal of the received signal selection circuit 8, and the output terminal of the received signal selection circuit 8 is connected to the input terminal of the message selection device 9.

The output terminal of the message selection device 9 is connected to the input terminal of the notification device selection device 140. The terminals are connected to the hall notification device 11 provided at each of the halls.

Furthermore, the hall button 22 is connected to a hall button operation detection device 13, and the output terminal of this hall button operation detection device 13 is connected to the notification device selection device 14, the message selection device 9, the received signal selection circuit 8, and the AND circuit 18. is connected to the input terminal of The output terminal of the passenger detection device 12 is connected to the input terminals of the notification device selection device 14, the message selection device 9, and the received signal selection circuit 8.

In an embodiment with such a configuration, the abnormal state selection circuit 5
, the transmitter 6, the receiver 7, the received signal selection circuit 8, the AND circuit 18, and the hall user detection device 19 constitute the elevator monitoring device 2.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be explained.

For example, if the elevator's power supply fails and the car stops in the hoistway, a signal from the elevator control circuit 1 will cause the abnormal state selection circuit 5 to detect that the elevator has stopped in the hoistway due to a failure in its power supply. The abnormal state selection circuit 5 issues a detection signal corresponding to the occurrence of a so-called canned food accident, and based on this detection signal, a notification signal is sent from the transmitter 6 of the monitoring device 2. is transmitted to the monitoring center 3 via the communication line 15.

Upon receiving this report signal, the monitoring center 3 detects the occurrence of a canning accident in the elevator monitored by the monitoring device 2, and immediately sends the report signal from the monitoring device 2 to the service center 4 via the communication line 17. Communicate the details and request that a service person be dispatched to the site. In response to this request, a service person from the service center 4 prepares the necessary equipment and leaves for the accident site.

On the other hand, the detection signal from the abnormal state selection circuit 5 is input to the received signal selection circuit 8, which selects the canned food accident designation signal corresponding to the detection signal and inputs it to the message selection device 9.

In this case, the passenger detection device 12 detects that there is a passenger in the car.
When detected, a detection signal from the passenger detection device 12 is input to the received signal selection circuit 8, the message selection device 9, and the notification device selection device 14.

Then, the message selecting device 9 selects the message "
The electric 'rA device has malfunctioned. Please wait for a while. " is notified by the in-car notification device 10 selected by the notification device selection device 14.

On the other hand, the monitoring center 3 receives notification of the estimated time of arrival at the site from the service personnel, and sends the monitoring device 2 via the communication line 16.
An information signal indicating the estimated time of arrival at the site is transmitted. This information signal is input from the receiver 7 to the received signal selection circuit 8, which selects the expected arrival time designation signal corresponding to the information signal and inputs it to the message selection device 9.

In response to this signal specifying the estimated arrival time, the message selection device 9 sends a message ``The service person will arrive at the scene in about 30 minutes, so please wait for a while.'' ” is selected and notified by the in-car notification device 10 selected by the notification device selection device 14.

Further, if the service person is caught in a traffic jam and the arrival time is likely to be later than the scheduled time, the monitoring center 3 sends an information signal indicating a change in the scheduled time via the communication line 16 upon contact from the service person. It is transmitted to the monitoring device 2.

In response to this scheduled time change information signal, similarly, the in-car notification device IO selected by the notification device selection device 14
As a result, the message selected by the message selection device 14, ``The arrival of the service person will be delayed slightly due to traffic congestion.'' is announced.

In addition, as mentioned above, if the elevator becomes abnormal and cannot operate, the elevator control circuit l
A detection signal corresponding to the inability to operate is generated from the abnormal state selection circuit 5 in response to a signal from the abnormal state selection circuit 5, and this detection signal is input to the received signal selection circuit 8. Based on the detection signal, the reception signal selection circuit 8 selects the elevator operation failure designation signal and inputs it to the message selection device 9.

In this case, a user is waiting at landing 21 and the passenger is waiting at landing button 2.
When 2 is pressed, the output signal of the hall button operation detection device 13 is input to the message selection device 9 and the notification device selection device 14. Therefore, the message selection device 9 selects a corresponding message based on the elevator operation disabled designation signal and the output signal of the hall button operation detection device 13, and the notification device selection device 14 selects the corresponding message based on the elevator operation disabled designation signal and the output signal of the hall button operation detection device 13. The hall notification device 11 is selected based on the output signal.

Then, the selected message [Elevator safety device activated. Please wait for a while while a service person comes to perform recovery work. ” is notified by the hall notification device 11.

Further, the output signal emitted from the hall button operation detection device 13 when the hall button 22 is pressed is input to the other input terminal of the AND circuit 18, which has the detection signal of the abnormal state selection circuit 5 input to one input terminal. be done. Therefore, AND circuit 1
A user detection signal from the hall user detection device 19 connected to the terminal 8 is transmitted from the transmitter 6 to the monitoring center 3 via the communication line 15.

Upon receiving this user detection signal, the monitoring center 3 transmits the latest information on measures to be taken for the abnormal condition of the elevator, which it has at that time, to the monitoring device 2 via the communication line 16.

Therefore, when the monitoring center 3 transmits an information signal indicating the expected arrival time of the service person in response to the user detection signal,
This information signal is input to a received signal selection circuit 8 via a receiver 7. Based on this information signal, the received signal selection circuit 8 selects the expected arrival time designation signal and inputs it to the message selection device 9.

In response to this expected arrival time designation signal, the message "The service man will arrive at the scene in about 30 minutes, please wait for a while" selected by the message selection device 9 is sent to the output signal of the landing button operation detection device ■3. Based on this, notification is made by the hall notification device 11 selected by the notification device selection device 14.

Similarly, when the monitoring center 3 that has received the user detection signal transmits an information signal indicating a change in the scheduled arrival time of a service worker caught in a traffic jam to the monitoring device 2, the message selection device 9 Message selected in ``The service person's arrival will be slightly delayed due to traffic congestion.

” is notified by the hall notification device 11 selected by the notification device selection device 14.

As described above, in the embodiment, when the elevator is in an abnormal state, the in-car notification device 10 informs the user of the details of the abnormal state accident and the subsequent recovery schedule, even if the passenger does not operate the car 20 for one day. Passengers are informed of the rescue schedule, so they do not feel anxious or anxious (they can wait for the elevator to be restored or for rescue to take place).

Therefore, even people with disabilities, the elderly, or children who have difficulty operating the call button inside the car 20 can use the elevator with peace of mind because they will not be left without information from the outside in the event of an abnormal situation. I can do it.

Also, for the users of platform 21, the users are the platforms! 1
When you operate 122, the hall notification device 11 will notify you of the details of the elevator accident and the subsequent recovery schedule.
To allow users to make a decision on whether to use an elevator without causing irritation.
