Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial Application Field 1] The present invention relates to an elevator remote control device, and in particular to an elevator remote control device that allows remote control of the elevator using a card at the side entrance of a building or a standard floor hall when the elevator is disconnected from a service floor. Relating to a remote control device.

[Prior Art] In recent years, with the spread of cards such as IC cards and magnetic cards, building management systems have been proposed that allow entry and exit into building offices using a single card, and are being implemented in some areas.

This type of building management system installs card readers at the side entrances of office buildings and at the entrances and exits of each tenant on each floor.
By inserting the card that a building user carries into a card reader, it is possible to enter and enter the building, and when a building floor is unoccupied, the elevator service floor for that floor can be disconnected. ing.

Conventionally, in keyless building management systems using such cards, when disconnecting elevator service, the building user first operates the corresponding tenant card reader with the card they own, and then the office Lock the entrance door and leave. At this time, if all the card readers on the arbitrary floor are locked, the arbitrary floor becomes unmanned. When the card system controller in the monitoring room detects this, the card system controller sends a signal indicating that the arbitrary floor is unmanned to the elevator control unit in the elevator machine room.
The elevator control unit separates the elevator from the service floor using the tenant card reader by disabling call registration for the hall call button and car call button of any floor for the elevator.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with the conventional card-based elevator remote control device as described above, if a given floor becomes unmanned and the elevator is separated from its service floor, the user will not be able to use it at night. There was a problem in that when a user wanted to re-enter the building, they could not take the elevator to the desired floor.

This invention was made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a remote control device for an elevator that can improve the service to the users by giving priority to the elevator to standby in an independent operation state for the visitors. do.

[Means for Solving the Problems 1] An elevator remote control device according to the present invention includes a card reader that is installed at a side entrance or a standard floor hall of a building and is operated by a card owned by a building user, and the card reader. The service floor separation is canceled based on the card data read by the elevator, and the elevator is set to an independent operation state that can operate back and forth between the reference floor and the visitor's destination floor, and the elevator is operated to the reference floor and waits with the door open for a predetermined time. and a control means for controlling.

[Function] When a card owned by a visitor is inserted into the card reader at the entrance or standard floor hall, the data on the card (
The visitor's tenant number 9, the next floor, etc.) is read, and by sending this data to the control means, the control means releases the service floor separation of the elevator of the floor to which the visitor belongs, and sets the elevator as a reference. The elevator car is brought into an independent operating state in which the visitor can go back and forth between the destination floors, and the elevator car is operated to the reference floor and kept on standby with the door open for a predetermined period of time.

Therefore, if a visitor who enters the elevator during this period presses the destination floor button, he or she can go directly to the destination floor. Furthermore, once the door-open standby time has elapsed, the elevator returns to normal automatic operation.

This makes it possible to improve elevator service to visitors and the like.

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the entire configuration of an embodiment of an elevator remote control device according to the present invention.

In the figure, there is a card reader la for tenants on the top floor of a building with multiple floors from the first floor to the top floor.

1b, tenant card readers lc and ld are provided on the floor one floor below the top floor, and tenant card readers le and if are provided on the first floor, respectively. 2 is a card reader installed in the side entrance on the first floor or the elevator hall, which is the standard floor of the first floor. 3 is the building's monitoring room, and between this monitoring room 3 there is a card reader 1a for each tenant.
A card system control unit 4 connected to ~1f and card reader 2 is installed, and this card system control unit 4 monitors the status of each tenant based on card information from each tenant card reader la~1f. At the same time,
Based on the card information from the card reader 2 of the side entrance or the standard floor, a command is sent to the elevator control unit to release the service floor separation of the unmanned floor.

58 to 5C are hall call buttons installed in the landings from the top floor to the first floor, 6 is the elevator machine room, and 7 is the elevator machine room 6.
An elevator control device B installed inside the elevator car is an elevator car that is raised and lowered by an elevator control device 7, and a car call button 9 is installed inside the elevator car.

In addition, the elevator control device 7 and each hall call button 5a~
5c, the car call button 9, and the card system control unit 4 are connected by a cable or the like so that signals can be exchanged.

Next, the operation of the embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

If you are a Levi user, use the card reader 2 at the entrance to use the card you own.
Entry into the building by plugging into the.

It is possible to leave the building, and there is also a card reader for each tenant.
By inserting a card corresponding to a to 1f, the user can enter and exit the relevant office.

On the other hand, when office users of each tenant leave the building,
The office entrance is locked using the tenant card reader 1 axl (.At this time, for example, if all of the tenant card readers la and b on the top floor are locked, the top floor becomes unattended.This state is It is detected by the card system control unit 4 in the monitoring room 3, and accordingly, the card system control unit 4 sends a signal indicating that the top floor is unmanned to the elevator control device 7.The elevator M control unit f7 that received this signal , the hall call by the unmanned top floor hall call button 5a and the car call registration to the top floor by the car call button 9 are invalidated, and the elevator service floor by the tenant card readers la and lb is thereby invalidated. Allows for separation.

Such elevator service floor separation is performed in the same way on floors other than the top floor.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, the operation of operating an elevator to enter an unoccupied building at night and to go to an office related to a user will be explained with reference to FIG.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operating procedure for causing the elevator to operate back and forth between the visitor's destination floor and the reference floor.

First, a person entering an unoccupied building inserts his or her card into the card reader 2 at the building's side entrance or elevator hall (standard floor) and operates the card reader 2 (step S1). In step S2 of the zeroth order of entering the building through the building's side entrance, the card reader 2 sends the tenant number of the visitor read from the card and the corresponding destination floor to the card system control unit 4. Upon receiving the signal from the card reader 2, the card system control unit 4 automatically registers the hall call of the reference floor with the elevator control device 7 (step 33).

Along with this, the elevator control device 7 directs the car 8 toward the standard floor.
to arrive at the destination (step 34).

Thereafter, the door is opened and the system waits (step 35). and,
In the next step S6, the elevator control device 7 sets the elevator to an independent priority operation state in which only the destination floor read from the card can be registered so that the elevator can operate back and forth between the visitor's destination floor and the reference building.

After that, the elevator control device 7 determines whether a preset certain period of time has elapsed in step S7,
If the visitor enters the elevator car 8 and presses the destination floor button before a certain period of time has elapsed (step S8), the elevator car 8 is driven toward the destination floor after closing the door (step 39). Thereafter, the elevator control device 7 cancels the independent priority operation and returns to normal automatic operation (step 510
).

In addition, when a visitor finishes their business at the related office and leaves the building, if the visitor presses the landing button on the visitor's floor and registers a landing call, the elevator car, which has returned to normal automatic operation, will return to the landing call floor. By arriving and registering the car call for the standard floor, the visitor can return to the standard floor.

On the other hand, in the above step S7, if the destination floor button is not operated by the visitor even after a certain period of time has elapsed for the elevator waiting to open its door at the standard floor, the process proceeds to step 311, the elevator car is closed, and the elevator car enters automatic operation. Bring it back.

In this embodiment, when re-entering the building after the elevator has been separated from the service floor, the visitor can access the relevant floor by operating the card reader 2 at the side entrance or reference floor with the card that the visitor owns. In addition to canceling the separation of the service floors, the elevators are placed in an independent priority operation state where they can shuttle back and forth between the standard floor and the visitor's destination floor, and the system is made to wait with the door open for a predetermined period of time on the standard floor. Since the elevator returns to normal automatic operation after the door open waiting time has elapsed, the service for other passengers other than those entering the building can also be improved.

In the above embodiments, the card shown as a card system is a magnetic card, an

Further, by displaying a message indicating that the elevator is in independent operation at the landing of the elevator while the elevator is waiting with its doors open, it is possible to call attention to other users and prevent other users from using the elevator.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, by operating the card reader provided in the side entrance or the elevator hall of the elevator standard floor with the card owned by the user, the elevator on the card holder's floor can be operated. The separation of the service floors has been removed, the standard floor and the cardholder floor can be operated independently, and the doors are left open for a predetermined period of time on the standard floor, allowing elevator services to be provided to users re-entering the building at night. This has the effect of improving service for other users by returning the elevator to normal automatic operation after the standard waiting time has elapsed.
