Abstract

PURPOSE: To make remote control of an elevator practical by registering the specific car call floor when a plural number of register signals circulatively signaling conforms to recognition signals from a specific security card and the car call floor signal conforms to a landing floor where a card carrier is waiting. CONSTITUTION: A security card 1 is distributed to the users and a car call floor is fixed by a car call floor signal fixing means 8. By entering an elevator hall carrying this card, a signal from a register signal signalling means 11 of a landing signal processing circuit 10 of the floor is received and by detecting conformation to a recognition signal of a recognition signal signalling means 2, the car call floor signal from a car call floor signal signalling means 6 and the recognition signal are transmitted to a calling means 7 as a signal B. This is received by a receiving means 13 and, by judging the conformation of signal B to the register signal of a register signal circulation signalling means 11 with an use/permit means 12, the elevating direction is determined from a landing floor where the user of a setting floor signal fixing circuit 16 is waiting, through a car call floor signal abstracting circuit 14 and a comparison determining circuit 15, after which the call is registered through a selection means 17.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to an elevator operating method and apparatus, and more particularly to an elevator security operating method and apparatus that allows use by only specified users.

Prior Art Elevator security is known as an elevator security operation that allows only specific users to use an elevator car to restrict the general public from entering a building and freely accessing any floor of the building. There is. - As an example, assign a specific number to each floor of the building, such as 102 for the 2nd floor and 103 for the 3rd floor. Only specific users will be informed of these numbers. (For those who do not know this number, please use the usual method such as 103 for the third floor.) If you try to go to the second floor and press the button with the number 2 on the control panel inside the car, the car will not move.A specific user who knows the number from the secret assignment of each floor presses the button on the control panel inside the car. Only by pressing the buttons numbered 1, 0, and 2 in sequence will the car go to the destination floor, in this case the 2nd floor. If the person inserts the card into the designated position on the car's control panel, the control panel will be able to perform its function, but if the card is not inserted, the control panel will remain inactive and will not be able to access the destination floor. Even if the button is pressed, the car will not start.In this way, conventional security operation excludes people other than specified users from using the elevator.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the operation panel inside the elevator car and to enable automatic use of the elevator car to a specific floor using only a security card carried by the user. An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator security operation method and device.

Eliminating the operation panel inside the elevator car means that there are two cases in which the operation panel is completely eliminated and elevator security operation is performed using only a circuit that responds to signals from the security card. This also means that the control panel may be disabled during security operations.

Means and effects for solving the problem First, a large number of security cards that generate recognition signals and destination floor signals are prepared. Registration signals representing the individual registration numbers of these cards are generated cyclically, and when the recognition signal from the security card matches the registration signal of the security card, the holder of the security card is permitted to use the elevator car. Generates a permission signal. In response to this permission signal, the security card generates a destination floor signal. If this is not done, if multiple users are on the same floor, different destination floor signals from the cards each person carries will enter one receiver, causing interference at the receiver. In order to avoid such interference, the recognition signal allows the following destination floor signal to be processed separately from other destination floor signals.

Determine whether the destination floor indicated by the destination floor signal from the security card is a floor above or below the landing floor where the person carrying the security card first waits, select an appropriate elevator car according to this decision, and select the appropriate elevator car. The vehicle travels to the landing floor where the person carrying the security card is waiting, stops at the landing floor, and opens the door. When the person carrying the security card enters the opened elevator and the recognition signal from the IJ tea card matches the registration signals of the multiple security cards circulating in the car, the destination floor from that security card is detected. Register the signal as if it were registered using a normal operation panel.

After completing his errands on the destination floor, the user attempts to exit the building by using the elevator car again. At this time as well, the registration signals of multiple security cards circulating on each floor match the recognition signal from the user's security card, and the destination floor indicated by the destination floor signal from that particular security card is the destination floor. When it matches the platform floor where the person carrying the security card is waiting (this means when the user is about to leave the building), the destination floor signal for a predetermined floor, for example, the hall floor, is registered, and the elevator
Make the car run toward that predetermined floor.

Example The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, reference is made to FIG. 1, which shows the structure of a security card distributed to building users or visitors. In FIG. 1, the security card is indicated by 1, and this security card has a registration signal circulation generator (not shown) which circulates the registration signals of a plurality of security cards installed on each floor of the building. Receives signal A from

The security card 1 is connected to recognition signal generation means 2 which generates a recognition signal for identifying the security card, destination floor signal generation means 6 which generates a destination floor signal, and is externally circulated. Destination floor signal generating means determines whether or not the registration signals of the plurality of security cards and the recognition signals of the security cards are coincident with each other, and generates a composite signal B of the recognition signals and the destination floor signal in response to the determination of the coincidence. 6. Furthermore, the security card 1 may include destination floor signal setting means 8 connected to the destination floor signal generation means 6. One card can be used efficiently by setting the floor to be visited by outpatients at the reception desk and handing the card to the outpatients.

Reference is now made to FIG. 2, which shows the landing signal processing device 10. As shown in FIG. This device 10 includes a registration signal circulation generating means 1 that circulates and generates registration signals for a plurality of security cards.
1, a receiving means 13 for receiving a composite signal B of a recognition signal from a security card and a destination floor signal, and registration signals of a plurality of security cards connected to these means 11 and 13 and generated in circulation. A recognition/use permitting means 12 which sends a use permission signal to the receiving means 13 when it detects a match with the recognition signal from a specific security card, and is connected to the receiving means 13 and generates the receiving means 13 in response to the use permission signal. The destination floor signal extracting circuit 14 extracts the destination floor signal from the security card that is used, and compares the extracted destination floor signal with the signal representing the landing floor from the installation floor signal setting circuit 16 to determine whether the destination floor is the landing floor. a comparison decision circuit 15 that determines whether the floor is an upper floor or a lower floor; and an elevator car that selects an elevator car according to this determination.
car selection means 17. Finally, car signal processing device 2
Refer to FIG. 3 which shows 0.

This car signal processing device 20 includes a registration signal circulation generating means 21 that circulates and generates a security card registration signal, a receiving means 23 that receives a composite signal B of a recognition signal from the security card and a destination floor signal, Recognition/use is connected to these means 21 and 23, and upon detecting a match between the registration signals of a plurality of security cards circulating and the recognition signal from a specific security card, a use permission signal is sent to the receiving means 23. It is connected to the permission means 22 and the reception means 23, and receives the reception means 23 in response to the usage permission signal.
The system includes a destination floor signal extraction circuit 24 for extracting a destination floor signal from a security card that generates a destination floor signal, and a car call signal generation circuit 25 for sending out the extracted destination floor signal as an in-car call signal.

Next, the operation will be explained.

Distribute security cards to building users or visitors. A destination signal setting means 8 is used to set the floor to be visited by the visitor at the reception desk, and the card is handed over to the visitor.

When the person carrying this card enters the elevator hall, the registration signal circulation generating means installed on that floor (Fig. 2, 11)
) the card receives signal A from

When detecting a match between the registration signal that is circulated externally and the recognition signal that identifies the security card generated by the recognition signal generation means 2 of the security card, the card destination floor signal generation means responds to this. The destination floor signal from 6 is sent from the transmitting means 7 together with the recognition signal (signal B). The reason why the destination floor signal is extracted using the security card recognition signal is that if it were not done this way, multiple destination floor signals would be received by the elevator system at the same time when multiple users wait in the elevator hall. This is because they arrive at the right time and cause interference.

The operation of the hall signal processing device 10 normally installed on the hall floor will be explained with reference to FIG. When the signal B from the security card arrives, the receiving means 13 receives it. When the registration signal circulation generation means 11 detects a match between the registration signals of a plurality of security cards which are being circulated internally and the recognition signal of the card included in the signal, the use/permission means 12 receives a use permission signal. Send to means 13. In response to this usage permission signal, the receiving means 13 sends the signal B to the destination floor signal extraction circuit 14, where the destination floor signal is extracted and sent to the comparison determination circuit 15.

The comparison/determination circuit 15 compares the destination floor signal from the security card with the signal indicating the landing floor where the user is located from the installation floor signal setting circuit 16, and determines whether the destination floor is above or below the landing floor. Determine. According to this determination, the elevator car selection means 17 selects an elevator car. A composite signal C consisting of a direction signal indicating the up or down direction and a signal representing the landing floor is sent from the landing call signal generation circuit 17 to the group management device of the Nirebeta system. The group controller stops the selected elevator car at the landing floor and opens the door to admit the passenger.

The car signal processing device 20 normally installed in a car will be explained with reference to FIG. When the passenger gets into the car, the receiving means 23 receives the B signal, which is a composite signal of the recognition signal and the destination floor signal. When the registration signal circulation generating means 21 detects a match between the generated security card registration signal and the recognition signal from the security card carried by the user, a use permission signal is recognized and received from the use permission means 22 to the reception means 23. sent to. In response to this usage permission signal, the receiving means 23 sends the received signal B to the destination floor signal extraction circuit 24. The destination floor signal is extracted from the received signal B and sent from the in-car call signal generation circuit 25 as an in-car call signal. This causes the Nile Beta car to travel to the destination floor.

Effects As is clear from the above, the present invention eliminates the operation panel of the elevator car and allows only specific users to use the elevator car in a limited manner completely automatically without any operation. Furthermore, it is possible to completely eliminate use by unspecified persons.
