Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable persons in bedrooms and the like to take refuge rapidly and safely by an elevator car in the case of a fire or the like being generated by moving the car to the specified floor with bedrooms and the like in the predetermined time zone such as the night, and making the car stand by with the car door open. CONSTITUTION:In the case of installing an elevator at a three-storied personal dwelling house, the elevator is provided with a timer 12 for outputting signals in the predetermined time zone such as between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. on the following day, and a relay 13 is excited by the closed circuit of this timer 12 so as to close the normally opened contact 14. At the closed time of this normally opened contact 14, a command for the reset operation of a car to the reference floor (the third floor with bedrooms, for instance) is generated from a command circuit 15. Upon the arrival of the car at the reference floor, a position detecting normally opened contact 16 is closed, so that a command to make the car stand by with the car door kept open is generated from a command circuit 17. The car 4 thus stands by with the car door open always on the reference floor except when elevating operation is performed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, in order to solve housing difficulties, it is recommended that 2nd and 3rd generations live in the same house, and the number of 2-story and 3-story private houses in which multiple generations live together increases. is doing. In this private house, it is inconvenient for an old man to go up and down the stairs, and there is a risk of falling down. Therefore, the living room for the old man has often been provided on the first floor.

However, the first floor may be provided with a living room for the elderly on the second and third floors due to the poor sunlight and unclear view. In such a case, there are problems associated with going up and down the stairs. Considering this, for example
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 6370, a home elevator installed in a private house such as a two-story or three-story house is proposed,
It has been put to practical use in some areas.

Incidentally, in such a home elevator,
Generally, the traveling speed of the car is low, and the speed is 5 to 12 m per minute.
It is set to a degree.

[0005]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional home elevator, no consideration is given to the case where an emergency evacuation is required due to a fire or the like, and the passenger cannot get on a car from a predetermined floor. When evacuating, the operation was not controlled so that the car would wait on this floor. Therefore, for example, when an old man or the like gets on a predetermined floor, it is necessary to call a car waiting on another floor, and there is a problem that evacuation is delayed while waiting for the arrival of this car.

Since the traveling speed of the car is low, the size of the fire gradually increases during the evacuation after waiting for the car, and in some cases, the car in which the person to be evacuated stops and the evacuation is performed. There was also concern about the fatal situation of being unable to do so. In particular, if a fire or the like occurs at night or during sleep, it takes time to wake up and prepare, and there is a greater risk of delaying escape.

The present invention eliminates the need to wait for a car to arrive on the floor where a bedroom or the like is provided during a night time,
It is to provide a home elevator that can climb up and down by getting in a car.

[0008]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention is installed in a house having a plurality of floors, and controls the operation of the car by raising or lowering between the plurality of floors. In a home elevator having a control device, a first timer for outputting a signal to the control device in a predetermined time zone and a command for operating the car to a predetermined floor according to the signal from the timer. And a second command means for issuing a command to keep the car door open when the car stops on the predetermined floor.

[0009]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the timer outputs a signal in a predetermined time zone such as nighttime, and the first command means responds to the signal by a predetermined instruction such as a car, a bedroom and the like. Issues a command to return to the floor.
When the car is returned to the predetermined floor based on this command, the second command means causes the car to wait while keeping the car door open.

[0010] Thus, during the nighttime or the like, it is possible to get on and off the car on the floor provided with the bedroom and the like without waiting for the arrival of the car and opening the door.
