Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the sensory prediction of waiting time in either case of an elevator traveling to the other floor or being stopped by changing the color of a direction lamp according to the door opened/closed state. CONSTITUTION:Normally, the service direction 2 of an elevator and a floor 3 in service are displayed. When the elevator travels through other floors, the direction and the floors in passage are displayed. When the elevator stops at the other floor, the color of a direction lamp is changed from its center part in correspondence with the opening of a door. At the time of the door being closed, the color is reversely changed interlockingly with the door closed state. Psychological waiting time can be thereby reduced.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to improving the display function of a display device installed at an entrance/exit of an elevator, and particularly relates to a display device suitable for reducing psychological waiting time. .

[Conventional technology]

A conventional display device at an entrance/exit consists of a direction light that indicates the service direction of the elevator, and a floor indicator that indicates the service position of the elevator.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

With the above-mentioned conventional display, while the elevator is running, the elevator service status is notified by the elevator's direction light and floor indicator, so you can intuitively know how long it will be before you can board the elevator. Be recognized. This helps reduce psychological waiting time, but when the elevator stops at another floor, the floor display only displays that floor, making it difficult to see if people are getting on or off or if it is malfunctioning. It was not clear whether or not the person was there, which caused an increase in the psychological waiting time.

In order to solve this problem, some elevator door opening/closing indicators have been installed with a direction light and a separate indicator from the floor indicator, but this poses a space problem, and three types of indicators are installed at once. There was a drawback that it was difficult to see the display when multiple elevators were installed.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned self-indication, the present invention provides an indicator that can serve as a direction light and notify the elevator door opening/closing status while the elevator is stopped at another floor. That is, the door opening/closing status can be notified by changing the color of the direction light depending on the door opening/closing status.

With this display, when an elevator is servicing another floor, passengers will be able to recognize that the elevator is stopping and servicing that floor by looking at the opening and closing status of the elevator door. This reduces psychological waiting time.

[Effect]

The means for notifying the elevator door opening/closing status is performed by changing the display color of the direction light. Therefore, the direction light and the door opening/closing status indicator light can be used together, and two displays can be seen on one display, so even if there are multiple elevators, it can be recognized without confusion, and the size of the conventional display can be reduced. New features can be achieved without any changes.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 4, 23 is an elevator call button, and when an elevator call is registered at the entrance/exit side by this button, the elevator control device 20 displays the elevator display control device [21, the opening/closing state of the elevator door, the elevator It transmits information such as the direction of travel, elevator position, elevator running, and stop signals.

The display control device 21 to which this information is transmitted electronically creates a display pattern of two positions in the direction of the elevator and the open/closed state of the elevator door, and displays it on the hall display 1. Conventional displays showed two directions of the elevator, but did not indicate whether the doors were open or closed, which often caused irritation, regardless of whether someone was getting on or off the elevator.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a method of making the elevator direction light and the door opening/closing status indicator light both function.
It is provided at the elevator entrance/exit shown in the figure]-0, and is usually
The service direction 2 of the elevator and the floor 3 served are displayed. When the elevator is traveling on another floor (a), the direction (indicating the UP direction) and the floor on which it is traveling (the 11th floor is displayed) are displayed. When this elevator stops on another floor (b), (stops on the 12th floor), the directional lights.

Figure 1 (b), (e), (d L) depending on the door opening.
(e) Change the color from the center of the direction light. When the door closes, (e), (d), (c), (b), (a
), the color changes in conjunction with the door closing status.

By displaying the information in this way, passengers can recognize that someone is getting on and off the train even if it is stopped on a different floor, and this helps to avoid the psychological waiting period of not knowing whether someone is really getting on or off. time can be reduced.

A display flowchart of the present invention is shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 shows flowchart 1- of the part of the control device in FIG.
In step 11), passengers can recognize the elevator service status from the floor display, so just display only the direction lights (step) and 2), and the elevator will stop (step)-6). If the elevator is stopped and the elevator door can be opened and closed (step 3), the display can be stopped (step 17). Then, the door opening/closing status is displayed (step 15).

By doing this, while the elevator is running on another floor, passengers can intuitively predict the boarding time using the direction lights and floor indicators as before, and when the elevator stops, the floor indicator Even if the vehicle stops changing, one passenger can intuitively predict the remaining boarding time by notifying the door opening/closing status.

In FIG. 1, an elevator control device 2o is used as a means for changing the color of direction lights to display the opening/closing status of the door.
More display control bags! The display control device 21 sends a door open and clove position signal to the door 21, and the display control device 21 determines the color code of the display, for example, 1 is red and 2 is green, and changes the color code according to the door position signal. This can be achieved by following.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the waiting time can be intuitively predicted whether the elevator is traveling to another floor or stopped, and the psychological waiting time is reduced. Furthermore, since the direction light and the door opening/closing status indicator are combined, this purpose can be achieved without having to support the size of a conventional indicator.
