2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-170351.
As shown in the publication, in the car operation panel having a plurality of destination floor registration buttons for registering the destination floor of the car, from the lower floor to the upper floor, from the lower floor destination button registration button to the upper floor The destination floor registration buttons are arranged in order, and especially in the case of a high-rise house with many floors, the destination floor registration button for the upper floors should be placed at a fairly high position on the in-car operation panel. There is. Therefore, a short person, for example, a child who is about the same height as the national average height in the lower grades of elementary school, gets in the car on the first floor where the entrance of the building is provided, and uses the elevator to the upper floors where he / she lives. Therefore, when trying to operate the destination floor registration button for the upper floor, there is a problem that the destination floor registration button cannot be reached even if the user reaches out.
In such a case, it was not possible to use the elevator to the upper floors, and it was necessary to climb the stairs.

Therefore, as one means for solving the above-mentioned problems, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 64-34886, a step board on which a child or the like who operates an in-car driver's board is placed on the side plate of the car. The one provided is proposed.

Generally, the side plate of a car is composed of a plurality of plate members, the lower end and the upper end of which are attached to the floor and the ceiling part with bolts or the like, and the adjacent plate bodies are mutually connected with the bolt or the like. Plates that are connected and located at the side ends are supported by the front columns of the entrance / exit of the car. In the side plate configured in this way, in recent years, the weight of the car has been reduced in order to save energy in the elevator, and the reinforcing material of the side plate that has been conventionally provided has also been removed, so that a solid structure is formed. Not not. For this reason, in the above-described conventional technique, when a step board for a child having a weight of about 20 kg is provided on the side plate, it is necessary to remodel the side plate to a solid one by reinforcing the part to which the step is attached. there were. Further, the step itself needs to be made strong so that it will not be deformed even when a child rides on it, and there is a problem that the structure becomes complicated. For this reason, not only a considerable amount of cost was required, but also a step could not be provided depending on the structure of the car.

Therefore, in order to solve these problems,
The device described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-39275 has been proposed.

[0006]

By the way, in the proposed apparatus of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-39275, it is necessary to remodel the parts of the entrance and exit of the car significantly when remodeling the existing elevator. However, there is a problem that not only the cost is increased, but also the suspension period of the elevator is prolonged.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object thereof is to provide a function that even a short person can reach a desired upper floor with a car. It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator driving device that can be easily added to the elevator.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides an elevator driving apparatus provided with an in-car driving panel having a plurality of destination floor registration buttons for registering the destination floor of a car, Of the destination floor registration buttons, located near the destination floor registration button for the lower floors, the operation button that outputs an operation signal, and the position facing the front of the driving panel, according to the height of the child in the lower grades of elementary school. Detection device for detecting an object at a first height position predetermined by
Second detection device for detecting an object at a predetermined second height position that is higher than the normal height position of the adult and lower than the normally considered average height of an adult, and a first detection device of these detection devices. A determination circuit that determines that only one has detected and outputs an operation signal, and an operation means that registers a predetermined upper floor as a destination floor in response to both the operation signal and the operation signal are provided.

[0009]

In the present invention configured as described above, for example, when a short person having a height equivalent to the national average height of the lower grades of elementary school stands in front of the driver's panel, only the first detecting device detects it. A determination circuit determines this detection operation and outputs an operation signal. When an operation signal is output by operating the operation button together with this operation signal, the operation means operates in response to the operation signal to register a predetermined upper floor as a destination floor. On the other hand, when a tall person having a height equal to or higher than the average height of an adult stands in front of the driver's panel, both the first detection device and the second detection device detect it, and as a result, the determination circuit Even if a tall person does not output an operation signal, that is, a tall person operates the operation button, the operation of the operation means is blocked. As a result, even a short person can go to the upper floors by the car, and even if a tall person can reach the destination floor registration button for the upper floors, the operation button is unnecessary. Even if is operated, the operation of the car is not performed due to this operation, so that it is possible to prevent a decrease in the operating efficiency of the elevator. Further, when adding this function to an existing elevator, it is not necessary to remodel the car entrance and exit, as in the conventional case, and it is possible to deal with it only by remodeling the car, so the construction period and cost can be greatly reduced.
