Under the present circumstances, people with disabilities and old people have no choice but to use a general car without a special call button.

In such a situation, if dedicated hall call buttons and car destination floor buttons are to be installed in all halls and cars, the number of installation man-hours becomes enormous and the installation cost, material cost, etc. increase, which is very real. Not at all. Also, even in existing elevators that do not have a dedicated hall call button or car destination floor button, there is a desire to install a dedicated call button from the time of the aging society, With the conventional device, installation work and additional work are extremely difficult, and even if the work is possible, a great deal of labor and cost are required, which is a problem.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is a door which is convenient for a person who needs time to get on and off an elevator, such as a physically handicapped person or an elderly person, and which can be easily applied to an existing elevator. An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator control device including a control device.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention uses the car by responding to a call generated from a landing call button and a car in-destination floor button provided in the landing and the car. In an elevator that raises and lowers a customer, the call operated by the hall call button or the car in-destination floor button is registered, and the operation number of the operated call is counted, and the operation number is a predetermined number. When the number of times the vehicle has reached the specified number of times, the car door opening time on the floor corresponding to the call operated a predetermined number of times is set to be longer than the normal door opening time, and the car door opening on the floor where the passenger is about to get on and off Try to extend the time only.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an elevator control device according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, the elevator control device is installed at a landing on each floor and is used by general users and persons with physical disabilities.
A landing call button 10 operated by an old man to call a car
A car interior destination floor button 11 for registering a destination floor provided in the car, a call registration device 12 for inputting and registering a call signal from the hall call button 10 and the car interior destination floor button 11, and a call registration Based on the call registration signal from the device 12 and the car position detection signal from the car position detection device 7, the elevator operation direction command is output and the number of times the hall call button 10 and the car destination floor button 11 are operated. It is composed of an operation control device 13 that determines the door opening time according to the door opening command and outputs a door opening command, and a door control device 14 that controls the opening and closing of the elevator door according to the door opening command from the operation control device 13. ing.

Next, the operation of the elevator controller thus constructed will be described. First, when a general customer operates the hall call button 10 at a hall on a certain floor, the car responds to the floor and opens the door, and closes the door after a predetermined door opening time has elapsed. The passenger gets in the car while the door is open and registers the desired destination floor with the car destination floor button 11. The car operates to the floor registered by the destination floor button 11 in the car, and when the response floor is reached on the destination floor, the door opens, and the door closes after a predetermined door opening time has elapsed. The passenger completes the descending motion while the door is open, and reaches the destination floor. The above is an example in which the general user uses the elevator. Next, the operation when the disabled person or the elderly person uses the elevator will be described.

First, the hall call button 10 is operated a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined time at a hall on the floor where a user such as a disabled person or an elderly person is present. The car responds to the floor operated by the hall call button 10 and opens the door, and closes the door after a time longer than the predetermined door opening time has elapsed. A disabled person or an old person gets into the car while the door is open and registers the desired destination floor with the car destination floor button 11. At this time, the customer operates the car destination floor button 11 a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined time as described above to register. The car operates to the registered destination floor, opens the door when responding to the destination floor, and closes after a time longer than the predetermined door opening time described above. The user completes the descending motion within the extended door opening time and reaches the destination floor.

The above operation will be described in more detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the call registration device 12 determines whether or not there is a call signal from the hall call button 10 or the car interior destination floor button 11 (step A1), and if there is a call, the call is registered (step A2). Next, it is checked whether the hall call button 10 or the car destination floor button 11 corresponding to the registered call has been operated again (step A3), and at the same time, whether the re-operation has been done within a predetermined time from the first call registration. Check if (Step A
4). When the re-operation is performed within the predetermined time in step A4, 1 count is incremented as the number of times of the operation. Steps A5 and A6 are steps of counting how many times the call is re-operated within a predetermined time. In step A6, it is checked whether or not the number of call re-operations exceeds a predetermined number after a predetermined time has passed (step A7). If it is determined in step A7 that the number of re-operations has exceeded the predetermined number, The door opening time is set so as to extend the door opening time on the floor corresponding to the re-operated call (step A8).

As described in detail above, according to this embodiment, when a disabled person or an elderly person who needs time to get on and off the vehicle calls the car to the landing, the destination floor is registered in the car. At that time, it is possible to extend the door opening time when the car responds by using the hall call button or the car destination floor button, so it is possible to use the hall call button especially for people with disabilities and the elderly. It is not necessary to provide a destination floor button in the car, and it is possible to extend the opening of the door when getting on and off any elevator, and to set the extension of opening the door only for the floor on which the passenger gets on and off. In addition, even when the control device according to the present embodiment is applied to an existing elevator that does not have a hall call button or a car interior destination floor button dedicated for the physically handicapped or the aged, it is almost necessary to change the hard configuration. Since there is no such change, the labor and cost for the change work can be significantly reduced.

In this embodiment, when the hall call button or the car destination floor button is operated a predetermined number of times or more, the door opening time is extended at the response floor to which the response is made. The door-opening time may be varied depending on the number of times each button is operated, or the door-opening time may be shortened depending on the number of operations.
