[Purpose of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an elevator car call registration device having means for canceling registered car calls.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when canceling a car call that has been erroneously registered and registering a new car call for the destination floor, for example, the registered car can be canceled by operating a cancellation button provided on the in-car operation panel. I canceled the call and then registered the car call for the destination floor. In such a call cancellation device, in addition to the car call registration button, it is necessary to provide a dedicated button for cancellation on the in-car operation panel, which increases the number of operation buttons on the in-car operation panel, which may lead to erroneous operation. . Additionally, there was a problem in which car calls could be canceled due to carelessness or registered car calls could be canceled due to mischief.

[0003]Recently, in order to omit the button dedicated to cancellation, simplify button operation when correcting a car call, and prevent inadvertent cancellation of a registered car call due to erroneous operation, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-1
As shown in Publication No. 2273, a method has been proposed in which the registered car call is canceled by operating the incorrectly operated car call registration button again, and then the car call of the destination floor is registered by normal button operations. ing.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned conventional device, in order to prevent inadvertent cancellation, when performing a cancellation operation, it is necessary to continuously operate the car call registration button for a predetermined period of time or more. However, there was a problem in that this could lead to frustration among passengers who were trying to correct incorrectly registered car calls.

[0005] Furthermore, when there is only one car call registered and the elevator is running, canceling the registered car call,
When a new car call is registered for a destination floor, a temporary no-call state occurs when the call is cancelled. Generally, when the elevator control device that controls elevator operation detects that there is no registered car call, the car lands on the nearest floor and enters the standby state. The newly registered car call will be answered after arriving at the parking floor. In other words, before reaching the destination floor, the aircraft lands on an unnecessary floor, resulting in poor operating efficiency and poor service to passengers.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to quickly cancel a registered car call and register a new car call, and furthermore, when there is only one registered car call in a car and the elevator is running, An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator car call registration device that can prevent unnecessary landings on floors that occur when a cancellation operation is performed. [Structure of the invention]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention provides an elevator car call registration device with a car call registration button provided on an in-car operation panel and an operation of the car call registration button. means for registering a car call, and whether to cancel the already registered car call when another car call registration button is operated after a car call registration button for an already registered car call is operated; It consists of a means for canceling a call.

[0008]

[Operation] In the above configuration, a car call is registered by operating the car call registration button provided on the in-car operation panel, and after operating the car call registration button for an already registered car, another car call is registered. By operating the call registration button, the other car call registration button is registered, and the already registered car call is canceled, thereby smoothly canceling the registered car call to be canceled and registering a new car call. be able to.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an elevator car call registration device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0010] An in-car operation panel 2 provided in the car 1 has a car call registration button 3 for registering car calls for each floor.
A car call registration lamp 4 is provided to display whether or not a car call for each floor is registered. In this embodiment, the car call registration button 3 and the car call registration lamp 4 are provided separately, but the car call registration button may also serve as the car call registration lamp 4.

A car call registration device 5 provided in the elevator control device (not shown) inputs a car call signal generated by the car call registration button 3 via a communication cable connecting the car 1 and the elevator control device. Then, a car call registration button input register 6 is stored, a call registration section 7 registers a call based on the output signal of the car call registration button input register 6, and a floor of the registered car call to be canceled is temporarily stored. , a call cancellation unit 8 that outputs a cancellation command, a timer circuit 9 that counts the time during which cancellation processing is possible after starting the cancellation operation of the registered car call to be canceled, and a registration unit that outputs a command to turn on the car call registration lamp 4. It consists of a lamp output register 10.

Next, the operation of the elevator car call registration device 5 having the above-described configuration will be explained. Here, the time during which the above-mentioned cancellation process can be performed means that when a passenger cancels a registered car call, he or she presses the already registered car call registration button 3.
After operating the car call registration button 3, it indicates a sufficient time to perform the cancellation process by operating another car call registration button 3. For example, 1 to 3 seconds is appropriate. Further, the timer circuit 9 may use any method such as count-up or count-down as long as it can calculate a predetermined time. First, normal car call registration will be explained.

In the car call registration device 5, the car call signal generated by the car call registration button 3 is once input to the car call registration button input register 6 and stored therein. The car call registration button input register 6 outputs a call registration signal corresponding to the operated car call registration button 3 to the call registration section 7. The call registration unit 7 determines whether the operated car call registration button 3 is unregistered or registered. If the operated car call registration button 3 is unregistered, the car call is determined to be a new car call registration, and the call is registered in the call registration section 7. Next, the call registration unit 7 sends a lighting command to the registration lamp output register 1 to turn on the car call registration lamp 4.
Output to 0. The registration lamp output register 10 lights up the car call registration lamp 4 on the floor corresponding to the operated car call registration button 3 to inform passengers that the car call has been registered. Then, the elevator control device drives the elevator based on the car call registered in the call registration section 7, and services the car 1 to the floor on which the car call is registered. When the car 1 lands on the floor on which the car call has been registered, the registered car call is canceled and the car call registration lamp 4 is also turned off. The above is the operation of each control means when normal car call registration is performed. Next, the case of canceling an already registered car call and registering a new car call will be explained. As an example, the operating procedure for canceling a car call that has been erroneously registered and registering a new car call for the destination floor will be described.

First, among the car calls that have already been registered, the passenger operates the car call registration button 3 of the registered car call that he/she wishes to cancel, thereby temporarily setting the car call in a cancelable state.
If the car call registration button 3 for which a new car call is to be registered is operated within a predetermined period of time, the new car call is registered, and then the registration of the registered car call to be canceled is cancelled. The operation of the car call registration device 5 in the above operation will be explained.

When the passenger operates the car call registration button 3 corresponding to the registered car call that he/she wishes to cancel, the call registration section 7 determines that the operated car call registration button 3 is already registered, and cancels the operated car call. A cancellation pending signal indicating that the registration of the registered car call corresponding to the registration button 3 has been made cancelable is output to the call cancellation section 8, the timer circuit 9, and the registration lamp output register 10. When the call cancellation unit 8 receives the cancellation pending signal, it stores the floor of the registered car call that has been made cancelable. Further, when the timer circuit 9 receives the cancellation pending signal from the call registration section 7, it starts a built-in timer and counts the time during which cancellation processing is possible. When the registration lamp output register 10 inputs the cancellation pending signal, it flashes the car call registration lamp 4 corresponding to the registered car call that has been set to the cancelable state, and informs the passenger that the registered car call of the operated car call registration button 3 is displayed. is in a cancelable state. In this embodiment, the registration lamp 4 corresponding to the registered car call is blinked to notify that the registered car call has been made cancelable, but the registration lamp 4 corresponding to the registered car call is blinked. It may also indicate that the call is in a cancelable state.

Then, while the timer circuit 9 is counting the time during which cancellation processing is possible, the car call registration button 3 is operated to register a new car call, and the car call signal is input to the car call registration button input register. When input to 6,
The car call registration button input register 6 outputs a call registration signal and sends the signal to the call cancellation section 8 and the call registration section 7. In the call registration section 7, when a call registration signal is input, if the newly operated car call registration button 3 is not registered, that car call is registered, and the operated car call registration button 3 is registered. A lighting command signal indicating this is output to the registered lamp output register 10. The registered lamp output register 10 is
A car call registration lamp 4 on the floor corresponding to the operated car call registration button 3 is turned on to inform the passenger that the registration has been made.

Furthermore, if the operated car call registration button 3 has already been registered, the registration lamp output register 10 lights up the car call registration lamp 4 on the floor corresponding to the operated car call registration button 3. to notify passengers that they remain registered. When the new car call registration button 3 is operated and the call registration signal from the car call registration button input register 6 is input, the call cancellation unit 8 calls and registers the cancellation command signal of the stored registered car call that is in the cancelable state. output to section 7. When the call registration unit 7 receives the cancellation command signal, it cancels the registered car call that was in the cancelable state and sends a cancellation signal indicating that the registration has been canceled to the registration lamp output register 10. Registered lamp output register 10
When the cancellation signal is input, the car call registration lamp 4 corresponding to the registered car call that is in the cancelable state is turned off, and the passenger is informed that the registered car call has been cancelled. Now, while counting the time during which cancellation processing is possible,
When the car call registration button 3 on which the car call registration lamp 4 flashes is operated, that is, when the car call registration button 3 for a registered car call that has been set to a cancelable state is operated again, the call cancellation section 8 detects an error. It is determined that the call is not a new call for correction of the registered car call, a cancellation command signal is not output, and the car call registration button 3 operated in the call registration section 7 is registered.

Furthermore, while the timer circuit 9 is counting the time during which cancellation processing is possible, the car call registration button 3 is not operated, the car call signal is not input to the car call registration button input register 6, and the count is stopped. Upon completion, the timer circuit 9 sends a cancellation hold release signal to the call cancellation unit 8 indicating that the cancelable state has been released. When the call cancellation unit 8 inputs the cancellation hold release signal from the timer circuit 9,
To reset the memory of registered car calls that were in a cancelable state. At the same time, the timer circuit 9 also outputs a cancellation hold release signal to the registration lamp output register 10. When the registration lamp output register 10 inputs the cancellation hold release signal, it changes the blinking state of the car call registration lamp 4 corresponding to the registered car call in the cancelable state to lit, and informs the passenger that the registered car call is in the cancelable state. Notify that the cancelable state of registered car calls has been canceled and registration will continue. Next, the operation of the elevator car call registration device described above will be explained in more detail using a flow chart. For example, a case will be explained in which the registered car call for the third floor is canceled and the car call for the sixth floor is newly registered. First, click the car call registration button 3.
It is assumed that the car is operated and the car call is already registered only for the third floor.

Next, the car call registration button 3 is operated, a car call signal is input to the car call registration button input register 6, and the call registration signal from the car call registration button input register 6 is input to the call registration section 7. Then, it is determined whether the operated car call registration button 3 is an unregistered button (a button on a floor other than the third floor) or a registered button (a button on a third floor) (step 101). If it is an unregistered button (a button on a floor other than the third floor), the operated car call is registered and a command is output to turn on the car call registration lamp 4 corresponding to the operated call (step 110). If the button is already registered (the button on the third floor),
Car call registration lamp 4 (corresponding to the operated car call)
The registration lamp on the third floor is flashed to indicate that the operated car call can now be canceled (step 102).
). Then, the timer of the timer circuit 9 starts counting the time during which the cancellation process can be performed (step
103).

Next, it is determined whether a predetermined period of time has elapsed (step 104), and when it is determined that the predetermined period of time has elapsed, the registered car call that was in the cancelable state is registered as it is, and the display blinks. A command to turn on the lamp display that was on is output (step 111). step
If it is determined in step 104 that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step 105, where it is determined whether or not the car call registration button 3 has been operated anew, and if the new car call registration button 3 has not been operated. The process returns to step 104 and the above-described process is repeated. When it is determined in step 105 that the car call registration button 3 (the button on the 6th floor) has been newly operated, it is determined whether the operated car call registration button 3 is a button that can be canceled (the button on the 3rd floor). Make a judgment (step 106). When it is determined that the operated car call registration button 3 is the button in the cancelable state (the button on the third floor), the process advances to step 111, and the above-mentioned processing is performed. When it is determined that the operated car call registration button 3 is a button that is not in a cancelable state (a button other than the 3rd floor), the operated car call registration button 3 that is not in a cancelable state is registered (registers the 6th floor). , outputs a command to turn on the lamp display (step 107). Next, after registering the operated car call registration button 3 that is not in the cancelable state (registering the 6th floor), the registered car call that was in the cancelable state (
A command to cancel the registered car call on the third floor and turn off the lamp display is output (step 108). Then, when the above-described processing is completed in step 108 or step 111, counting by the timer circuit 9 is stopped (step 109).

As explained above, by operating the registered car call registration button 3, the registered car call can be canceled, and the cancellation operation is possible only within a predetermined time. This is an effective means when you have accidentally operated something, or when you want to interrupt an undo operation.

[0022] Also, the registered car number in the elevator car is 1.
In this case, when canceling the registered car call and registering a new car call for the destination floor, the car call registration device 5 registers the car call registration button 3 for the newly operated destination floor, and then Since it operates to cancel the registered car call that you want to cancel, when the car call is canceled, the elevator control device does not detect a no-call state, and it is possible to avoid landing on an unnecessary floor while the elevator is running. Can be done.

Furthermore, in order to correct an incorrectly registered car call, the car call registration button 3 can be touched twice, so the registered car call can be easily corrected, and the service to passengers can be improved. can be improved.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to quickly cancel an existing car call that is desired to be canceled and to register a new car call. It is possible to prevent the car from landing on an unnecessary floor when canceling a registered car call while the car is running.
