JPH04189280A - Cage chamber of elevator - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a passenger from having an irritation and a feeling of uneasiness as much as possible by transmitting a stop cause and other information signals to a cage chamber, when the cage chamber is stopped, and displaying the content of an abnormality by a display plate provided in the cage chamber on the basis of the signal. CONSTITUTION:When the operation of an elevator is stopped due to an abnormal state, the kind of the abnormal state causing the stop of the operation, including the supply stop of a power source and any failure of a device itself, can be grasped. The signal of the abnormal state is taken out as an abnormality signal 12, a cage stop signal when the cage is stopped on a target floor as intended as a part of the general operating state when an elevator ascending/ descending control device 11 is smoothly operated is taken out as a cage stop signal 14, and they are transmitted to a control room 6. A proper message is transmitted from the control room 6 to the display board 15 of an operation board 1 situated in the cage of the elevator.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to an elevator cab.

(Prior Art) A conventional elevator car has buttons for opening and closing the door for boarding and exiting the elevator car, an emergency button, a button for instructing the floor to stop, and a button for communicating with the control room. It was common for intercoms to be installed with this in mind.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Passengers inside the car experience some discomfort and boredom from the time they board the car until they get off the car, although it is a short time, because the car is closed.

In addition, when the shaking of an earthquake is large, the elevator car stops and a call is made to the cause of the stoppage or music is played through the intercom inside the car, but this still leaves the trapped passengers feeling irritated and anxious. There was a problem in having the

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and
The purpose is to provide an elevator car in which passengers in the car are not made to feel irritated or anxious as much as possible when the elevator car stops due to an abnormality.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the elevator car according to the present invention transmits information signals such as the cause of the stop to the elevator car when the elevator car stops. Based on the signal, the contents of the abnormality are displayed on a video display board provided in the car room.

(Function) Therefore, in the elevator car of the present invention, in addition to providing information through the intercom as in the past, a video display board is provided in the car, and this displays the cause of the stoppage of the elevator car and other circumstances. This system works to alleviate the irritation of passengers in the car both visually and audibly.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows an outline of the present invention, and an operation panel 1 is installed in the elevator car, and this operation panel 1 has a stop floor instruction button 2 for instructing the stop floor of the car. Indicator lights 3 are installed corresponding to the number of times the stop floor instruction buttons 2 must be operated, and indicator lights 3 are installed corresponding to each stop floor instruction button 2. The vehicle is equipped with an intercom 7 that communicates with an external control room 6 that monitors the operating status of the vehicle.

This intercom 7 can be used to make a call to the control room 6 using an emergency button 8 provided on the operation panel 1, and conversely, it is also possible to make a call from the control room 6 to the inside of the car room. Further, when the car stops at the entrance/exit of each floor, the opening/closing button 9 is provided with a pair of buttons for opening and closing so that the door of the entrance/exit can be opened and closed manually.

In an elevator, when an elevator car stops at an entrance/exit, the doors of the elevator car and the entrance/exit are opened, and passengers can exit the car or enter the elevator car from the outside.

Thereafter, the car and the car entrance doors close, the car rises or descends, stops at the desired floor, and the passenger door and the car door open again to allow passengers to board and alight.

In this way, the elevator car can be raised or lowered, stopped by the command of the stop floor instruction button 2, or by the command of the call button at the elevator entrance on each floor of this building. It is something that rises or falls repeatedly. These operations are performed by the elevator lift control device 11, and the elevator lift control device 11 may also be in a state where it is difficult to maintain the distance between the elevator shaft and the car due to the influence of an earthquake. If there is a sudden change in the weight of the elevator car, it is recognized that an abnormal condition has occurred, and the operation of the elevator car is stopped.

Therefore, when an elevator stops operating due to an abnormal condition, it is necessary to understand the type of abnormal condition that causes the elevator to stop operating, including a stoppage of power supply to the elevator or some kind of failure of the elevator equipment itself. I can do it. This abnormal state signal is taken out as the abnormal state signal 12, and the elevator lift control device 1ml1l
The car stop signal when the elevator car stops on schedule at the destination floor as part of the normal operating condition when the car is operating smoothly is extracted as the car stop signal 14, and these abnormal signals 12 are used. and car stop signal 14
Both are sent to the management room 6.

When the car stop signal 14 and the abnormality signal 12 are output at the same time, it is clear that the elevator car has stopped due to an unexpected abnormal condition. Video display panel 1 of operation panel 1
It sends an appropriate message to 5. For this purpose, the operation panel 1 is equipped with a backlight on a video display panel 15 having a liquid crystal display function, so that it can be seen even if the lighting inside the car is momentarily turned off.

The video display panel 15 is provided with a memory that stores messages displayed in katakana corresponding to the contents of the abnormality signal 12, and the contents of the abnormality are displayed on the video display panel 15 by the abnormality signal 12 corresponding to each abnormality cause. It can be expressed in words. In addition to this, audio messages sent from the control room 6 through the intercom 7, as well as a video display panel]
Efforts can be made to relieve the frustration and anxiety of passengers trapped in the car by sending video signals of TV programs to passengers in the car.

(Effects) As explained in detail above, according to the elevator car of the present invention, at least the elevator car can be displayed on a video display panel provided in the car depending on the state of the elevator during normal and abnormal times. Since it is possible to display the details of the abnormality, such as the cause of the car stoppage, it has the effect of alleviating the irritation of passengers trapped in the car both visually and audibly, and trying to prevent them from feeling anxious. .
