Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep off any service decline due to a misuse of the call registration of an elevator for the disabled, of general users by installing a timer device which operates a call registering relay of an elevator for the disabled when a special call button for the disabled elevator is operated longer than an ordinary call button. CONSTITUTION:A call registering relay 2 operating in response to the call when general users operate an ordinary call button 1, and another call registering relay 6 for an disable elevator operating in response to the call when a user who requires the disable elevator operates a special call button 4 as far as the longer specified time than the ordinary call button 1 and its timer device 5 are all installed in an interval between both d.c. power terminals P and N. In this constitution, when the special call button 4 is continued to operate longer than operating time required for operation of the ordinary call button 1, the timer device 5 operates and thereby the call registering relay 6 of the disable elevator is energized, so the elevator is made so as to be summoned to the elevator hall. With this constitution, useless operation of the disable elevator at time of operating the special call button 4 by misoperation or the like is thus preventable.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an elevator call registration device, and more particularly to an elevator call registration device that is applied to a plurality of elevators including an elevator for the handicapped.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, when installing elevators in buildings, when installing multiple elevators, it is recommended to use an elevator for the disabled as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-67469 for at least one of the elevators. It's normal.

In this case, two types of call buttons, a normal call button and a special call button, are installed at the landing, and in order to call the elevator for the disabled,
The user operates the special call button.

When a user operates the special call button, the elevator for the disabled responds to the call and arrives at the platform, but the door opening time is limited to the usual 3 to 3 hours, so that wheelchair users can get on and off safely. It is set to be 8 to 10 seconds, which is somewhat longer than 5 seconds.

On the other hand, in a group management elevator consisting of a plurality of elevators including an elevator for the handicapped, the elevator for the handicapped is also included in the group management in order to improve operational efficiency.

For this reason, when a user normally operates a call button at a landing, the elevator with the shortest waiting time for the call will arrive at the hall, but it just so happens that the elevator with the shortest waiting time for the call is the one for the disabled. If it is an elevator, an elevator for disabled people will arrive at the landing.

In this way, when the elevator for people with disabilities arrives at the landing by operating the normal call button, the door opening time is set to the normal 3 to 5 seconds, ensuring efficient elevator operation. There is. Further, even though both the normal call button and the special call button are operated, the time required for call registration is set to be the same.

In conventional group control elevators including elevators for the handicapped, the elevators for the handicapped are incorporated into the group control as described above, and the elevators are operated efficiently.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

It has been my experience that users of elevators that are equipped with elevators for people with disabilities and have a regular call button and a special call button at the landing often do not distinguish between the normal call button and the special call button and use them properly. legally known.

Often, general users who do not need an elevator for the disabled, who should be operating the normal call button at the landing, try to use the elevator that arrived earlier and operate the normal call button and special call button at the same time. There are things to do. Further, a user who came to the boarding hall later may operate the special call button in the same direction even though the normal call button has already been lit and registration has been completed.

Furthermore, users who know from experience that the time it takes to register a call after operating a normal call button and a special call button may become aware that it is not necessary to select these call buttons. You may have it subconsciously and operate the special call button without being aware of it.

In this way, if the user operates the special call button even though it is not necessary and uses the elevator for the disabled, the door will be open for a longer time than usual, as mentioned above, and the elevator will stop at the landing. The elevator wait time becomes longer, and service to users waiting for the elevator on other floors deteriorates.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, if the normal call button and special call button are operated at the same time, or if an unnecessary special call button is operated after the normal call button is operated, unnecessary elevators are wasted. As a result, service to users waiting for elevators on other floors will be degraded, and unnecessary operating costs will be incurred.

The present invention has been made in view of the current state of elevator call registration devices as described above, and its purpose is to reduce service deterioration and operation of elevators for the disabled due to wasteful operation in group-controlled elevators including elevators for the disabled. An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator call registration device that prevents a decrease in efficiency.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a plurality of elevators including an elevator for the handicapped, and a landing is provided with a normal call button for the general elevator and a special call button for the elevator for the handicapped. In the elevator call registration device, the elevator for persons with disabilities responds to a call by operating a button, and the elevator with the minimum waiting time among the plurality of elevators responds to the call by operating the normal call button. The elevator is configured to include a timer device that activates a call registration relay for the elevator for handicapped persons if the special call button is continuously operated for a predetermined time period that is longer than the operation time required to activate the normal call button.

[Effect]

In the present invention, if the special call button is continuously operated for a predetermined time longer than the operation time required to operate the normal call button, the timer device is activated and the call registration and registration relay for the elevator for the disabled is energized. An elevator is called to the landing.

In this way, the special call button will not register a call unless it is operated for a predetermined period of time longer than the normal call button, so the special call button is operated in a consciously selective manner, and unnecessary calls for elevators for the disabled are avoided. Efficient call registration is performed.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram showing the configuration of the embodiment. As shown in the figure, a normal call button 1, a normal call registration relay 2, and a normal call registration relay 2 operated by a general user are connected between control DC power terminals P and N. The normally closed contacts 31 of the position detector of the elevator according to the technique are connected in series with each other, and the normally closed contact 21 of the normal call registration relay 2 is connected in parallel to the normal call button 1.

Between the DC power supply terminals P and N, a normally open contact 22 of the normal call registration relay 2 and a response light 7 that displays the registration status of the normal call button 1 are connected in series. Similarly, a special call button 4 for registering an elevator for the disabled, a timer device 5, and a normally closed contact 32 of a position detector of the elevator are connected in series between the DC power terminals P and N. has been done.

Between the connection point of the special call button 4 and the timer device 5 and the connection point of the timer device 5 and the normally closed contact 32, there is a normally open contact 51 of the timer device 5 and a call registration relay 6 of the elevator for the disabled.
are connected to each other in series. In addition, normally open contact 5
A normally open contact 61 of the call registration relay 6 is connected between the connection point of the call registration relay 6 and the DC power supply terminal P.

A normally open contact 6□ of the call registration relay 6 and a response light 8 for displaying the registration status of the special call button 4 are connected in series between the DC power supply terminals P and N.

The timer device 5 receives power from DC power terminals P and N.
If the voltage is applied continuously for more than a second, a preset predetermined time is counted, and after the counting is completed, a conductive state is established, and this predetermined time can be set arbitrarily.

Next, the operation of the embodiment having such a configuration will be explained.

First, a case where a general user registers a call by operating the normal call button 1 will be described.

When the user presses the normal call button 1, the normally closed contact 31 is ON unless the elevator is stopped, so the normal call registration relay 2 is connected to the DC power terminal P.
, N are applied, and the normal call registration relay 2 is energized. Then, by energizing the normal call registration relay 2, the normally open contact 21.2□ is turned ON.

When the normally open contact 2 is turned ON, a closed circuit is formed by the DC power supply terminal P, the normally open contact 21, the normal call registration relay 2, the normally closed contact 3□, and the DC power supply terminal N, so the normal call registration relay 2 is self-maintained. Therefore, even if the user instantaneously operates the normal call button 1 and then releases his/her hand, the normal call registration relay 2 will be in the energized state.

When the normally open contact 22 is turned on, power is applied to the response light 7 from the DC power terminals P and N, so the response light 7 lights up and the user is notified that the call by the normal call button 1 has been registered. It can be confirmed.

When the normal call registration relay 2 is energized, an operation device (not shown) is activated, and the elevator with the minimum waiting time responds to the call and goes directly to the floor where the normal call button 1 is operated. When the elevator arrives at the location, the normally closed contact 31 of the elevator position detector is turned OFF, the normal call registration relay is deenergized, and the normally open contact 22 is turned OFF, so that the response light 7 is also turned off.

In this case, the elevator for the disabled may respond to the call and arrive at the location as the elevator with the minimum waiting time, but even in that case, the elevator door opening time is
The opening time of a normal elevator is set to 3 to 5 seconds, and the elevator operates in the same way as a normal elevator.

Next, a case will be described in which a user who requires an elevator for the handicapped operates the special call button 4 to register a call.

In this case, if the user continues to operate the special call button 4 for 5 seconds or more, the timer device 5 turns ON after the predetermined time has been counted, the normally open contact 51 turns ON, and the DC power terminal P and the special call button 4 turn on. , the normally open contact 5□, the call registration relay 6, the normally closed contact 3□, and the DC power terminal N form a closed circuit.

Therefore, the call registration relay 6 is energized and the normally open contact 6□ is turned on, so the DC power terminal P, the normally open contact 60, the call registration relay 6, the normally closed contact 3□, and the DC power terminal N are closed. is formed, and the call registration relay 6 is self-maintained.

In this case, as long as the elevator is not stopped at the floor, the normally closed contact 32 is ON, as in the case of the normally closed contact 31 described above.

In addition, by energizing the call registration relay 6, the normally open contact 6□
is turned on, the response light 8 lights up to display that the call by the special call button 4 has been registered.

In this way, in order to register a call for an elevator for the handicapped, it is necessary to keep pressing the special call button 4 for 5 seconds or more and then release it.

When the call registration relay 6 is energized, an operation device (not shown) is activated, the elevator for the disabled responds to the call, and the elevator for the disabled goes directly to the floor where the special call button 4 is operated. When the elevator for the disabled arrives at the relevant floor, the normally closed contact 32 of the elevator's position detector turns OFF, the call registration relay 6 deenergizes, and the normally open contact 6□ turns OFF, so the response light 8 also turns off. .

In this case, the elevator door opening time is set to be longer, 8 to 10 seconds, compared to the normal 3 to 5 seconds, so that users in wheelchairs etc. can board safely. Therefore, users can take their time and safely board the elevator.

If a general user accidentally or unconsciously operates the special call button 4, the timer device 5 counts the predetermined time since the operation time in this case is about 2 seconds or less as for the normal call button 1. Therefore, the call registration relay 6 is not energized.

In this case, the response light 8 does not light up despite the user's operation, and the user immediately realizes that he has operated the special call button 4 when he should have operated the normal call button 1. Therefore,
The user operates the normal call button 1 again to perform a normal call registration operation.

As described above, according to the embodiment, even if the user who should operate the normal call button 1 accidentally or unconsciously operates the special call button 4, call registration is not performed. Therefore, only if a user who requires an elevator for the disabled operates the special call button 4 correctly, the elevator for the disabled will be operated with the door open time extended on the floor, and the elevator will be operated at the landing on another floor. Service to waiting users will not be degraded due to pointless extension of waiting time.

Furthermore, at the user's request, the door open time of the registered elevator for the disabled is extended to about 8 to 10 seconds, so users using wheelchairs etc. can safely use the elevator.

Furthermore, the elevator for the handicapped is also incorporated into the group management operation, and the door open time of the elevator for the handicapped is not extended except when necessary, so the operating efficiency of the elevator does not decrease and no unnecessary operating costs are incurred.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, abuse of call registration for a handicapped elevator due to operation of a special call button by a user who does not need the handicapped elevator is prevented,
It is possible to prevent a decrease in elevator operating efficiency and a decrease in service to users.
