2. Description of the Related Art Depending on the purpose of use of a building in which an elevator is installed, it is necessary to prevent people other than specific users from entering certain floors or to prevent ordinary people from entering certain floors depending on the time of day. In such a case, the specific floor is set as a nonstop floor so that ordinary people cannot call the car with the floor as the destination floor, and also cannot register hall calls from the specific floor. An elevator control device having a nonstop floor operation control function is used.

For example, in an elevator installed in a building where a specific owner occupies all the uppermost floors as living floors and rents other floors to general tenants,
In order to prevent anyone other than the owner or a person authorized by the owner from climbing to the top floor using the elevator, if you switch to the nonstop floor operation mode, unless you call after entering a specific security code Even if an ordinary person calls a car on the top floor, it will be forcibly canceled and registration will not be possible. In the case of an elevator installed in a building where a bank or other financial institution is located, if you want to make a specific floor a non-stop floor in the same way, to prevent public access to the specific floor depending on the time of day. There is also.

[0004]

However, in the conventional elevator control device having such a nonstop floor operation control function, a specific user or building manager who is qualified to perform the nonstop floor switching operation is arbitrarily selected. The normal operation mode is switched to the nonstop floor operation mode at the timing of, and the mode is switched automatically when a specific time comes under the control of a timer, but the general public does not know the switching timing. If you get down to the non-stop floor just before it becomes a non-stop floor due to a basket call, even if you try to call the hall from that floor and call the elevator again, it will be the non-stop floor, so the hall call will be There is a problem that it may not be possible, and in some cases it may be trapped on the non-stop floor until the non-stop floor operation mode is switched to the normal mode. Was Tsu.

In order to avoid such a situation, if the mode is switched to the non-stop floor mode, the car call registration to the specific floor is prohibited, but the hall call from the non-stop floor can be registered. It is conceivable that if the hall call registration from the non-stop floor is freely possible, an ordinary person in the car may unknowingly get off when boarding a user from the non-stop floor. The purpose of driving on the stop floor cannot be achieved.

The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and performs a hall call operation when there is an ordinary person who has descended to the nonstop floor immediately before switching to the nonstop floor operation. To inform other users by indicating that there is someone on the non-stop floor by another elevator hall or display means in the car room,
It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator control device capable of canceling a nonstop floor operation mode and helping a person on a nonstop floor.

Further, according to the present invention, when a hall call is issued from the non-stop floor, the supervisory panel notifies the manager by issuing a warning of the non-stop floor call, and the non-stop floor operation mode is released to stop the non-stop operation. It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator control device capable of helping a person on the floor.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a specific floor of a building is set as a non-stop floor, and an elevator is operated so as not to respond to a car call and a hall call for that floor as a destination floor. In the elevator control device configured to switch the non-stop floor operation mode and the normal operation mode by the non-stop floor setting means, the non-stop floor call display means for displaying the non-stop floor call installed in a specific elevator hall or car room, and , Hall stop floor of the floor which has been set by the non-stop floor setting means When the hall call is generated from the operation panel, the non-stop floor call is detected and the non-stop floor call display means is notified. And a call detecting means.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a non-stop floor operation mode in which a specific floor of a building is set as a non-stop floor, and an elevator is operated so as not to respond to a car call and a hall call for that floor as a target floor. In an elevator control device in which a normal operation mode is switched by a nonstop floor setting means, a monitoring panel installed in a specific place of a building for monitoring the operation state of the elevator, and a nonstop floor installed in the monitoring panel. The non-stop floor call detection means that outputs a non-stop floor call generation signal when a hall call is generated from the hall call operation panel of the floor for which the non-stop floor call is set by the setting means, and the non-stop floor call detection means An alarm means for notifying the generation of the non-stop floor call in response to the stop floor call generation signal is provided.

[0010]

According to the elevator control apparatus of the present invention, the person who descends to the nonstop floor operation mode is switched to the nonstop floor operation mode immediately before the nonstop floor operation mode is switched, and then the hall call is performed from the nonstop floor. In this case, the non-stop floor call detection means detects the hall call and transmits it to the non-stop floor call display means, and the non-stop floor call display means calls the hall call on another floor or the hall call from the non-stop floor in the car room. Show outbreaks.

Therefore, another person using the non-stop floor operation mode knows the occurrence of the non-stop floor call and notifies the elevator manager or the building owner of the non-stop floor operation mode to cancel the non-stop floor operation mode and perform normal operation. If you ask them to switch to the mode, the hall calls of those who were on the nonstop floor until then can be registered legally and you can get on the elevator from the nonstop floor without knowing it. It is possible to avoid the situation in which the person who gets off is trapped there.

Further, in the elevator control apparatus according to the invention of claim 2, when a person who gets down to the non-stop floor immediately before switching to the non-stop floor operation mode performs a hall call operation, the hall call from the non-stop floor is performed. By the alarm means on the monitoring panel notifying the occurrence, it is possible to let the elevator manager confirm that there is a person who is trapped on the nonstop floor, and the crime prevention function, which is the purpose of the nonstop floor operation mode, is impaired. It will be possible to prevent the general public from being trapped in the non-stop floor without any trouble.

The elevator control device is further registered by the hall call registration lamp and the car call registration processing unit 6 of the hall call generation floor registered by the hall call registration processing unit 4 based on a command from the elevator operation control unit 1. A display that lights up the car call registration lamp, displays the elevator position on the elevator hall installed in each floor elevator hall and the car room, and displays necessary operations such as nonstop floor operation mode display and nonstop floor call generation display. The system control unit 9 and the non-stop floor setting unit 10 that performs the switching operation between the non-stop floor operation mode and the normal operation mode, which are the features of the present invention, are provided. The non-stop floor setting unit 10 is usually installed in an elevator monitoring room, a machine room, or on the owner's living floor, although it depends on the usage pattern of the building. In addition, when setting the time once in the elevator monitoring room and setting a certain time zone to the non-stop floor operation mode, thereafter, the timer management automatically switches to the non-stop floor operation mode every day at a specific time zone. It may be possible to switch.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, a function for displaying the nonstop floor operation mode and the occurrence of nonstop floor call registration by the hall call operation panel 3 in the elevator hall and the in-car operation panel 5 in the car room. Will be described. As shown in (a) of the figure, the hall call operation panel 3 installed in the elevator hall of each floor is in the non-stop floor operation mode when switched to the non-stop floor operation mode together with the hall call button 11. There are installed a non-stop floor operation display section 12 for displaying the above, and a non-stop floor call display section 13 for displaying a hall call from the non-stop floor during a non-stop floor operation. Is controlled by the display system controller 9. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, a car call operation button 14 for registering a destination floor, a door opening / closing button 15 for opening / closing the door, and the like on the operation panel 5 in the car room When the mode is switched to the non-stop floor operation mode, the non-stop floor operation display unit 16 displays the hall call from the non-stop floor when the non-stop floor operates during the non-stop floor operation. A non-stop floor call display unit 17 is installed.

Next, the operation of the elevator control device having the above configuration will be described. In the normal operation mode, the elevator operation control unit 1 moves the elevator to the hall call generation floor for the hall call from the elevator hall on any floor or the car call in the car room, and also operates the elevator to the car call registration floor. Execute control.

As shown in the flow chart of FIG. 3, the elevator is not stopped by operating a switch of the nonstop floor setting section 10 by a specific person who has the right to set the nonstop floor, such as a building owner or a manager. When the operation mode is switched to the floor operation mode, the elevator operation control unit 1 causes the display system control unit 9 to turn on the non-stop floor operation display lights 12 and 16 of the hall call operation panel 3 and the in-car operation panel 5, and at the same time, until then. The hall call or car call of the non-stop floor that has occurred in step 1 is canceled and the non-stop floor operation mode is entered (steps S1 and S2).

Thereafter, until the switch of the non-stop floor setting unit 10 is switched to the normal operation mode, the car call cannot be registered for the non-stop floor, and operation control is performed so that the elevator does not stop on the non-stop floor (step S3). , S
4).

However, when the ordinary person arrives at the floor designated as the non-stop floor by a car call while in the normal operation mode and is switched to the non-stop floor operation mode immediately after the elevator door is opened and lowered, In the past, since the hall call of the non-stop floor was not registered, the person in question might be locked in the non-stop floor until the normal operation mode was switched. In this case, if the elevator operation control unit 1 detects the hall call generation from the non-stop floor from the hall call registration processing unit 4, it means that the person is left behind on the non-stop floor.
If the hall call registration processing unit 4 sends a hall call for the non-stop floor (step S3), the non-stop floor call indicator light of the preset hall call operation panel 3 and the in-cab operation panel 5 of the specific floor is sent. 13 and 17 are turned on through the display system controller 9 (step S5).

Therefore, if someone sees the non-stop floor call indicator light 13 of the hall call operation panel 3 or the non-stop floor call indicator light 17 of the car call operation panel 5, someone is left behind on the non-stop floor. The person who was left behind on the nonstop floor until then can use the elevator by notifying the elevator manager or the building owner to cancel the nonstop floor operation mode. It becomes possible to move from the non-stop floor (step S4).

Thus, in the case of this embodiment, if the non-stop floor operation mode in which the general public is disembarked immediately after getting off at the specific floor is switched to the non-stop floor operation mode, the person calls the hall to open the specific hall. By notifying the non-stop floor call indicator lights on the call control panel and the control panel in the car to notify other people using the elevator that there is a person on the non-stop floor, the general public is not careful about the non-stop floor. It is possible to prevent the situation of being confined to.

Next, an embodiment of the invention of claim 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. The elevator control device of this embodiment, by operating the alarm device together with the non-stop floor call display when the non-stop floor call occurs on the monitoring panel for monitoring the operation of the elevator, the elevator manager to the non-stop floor early. It is intended to enable the rescue by knowing that there is a person, and the circuit configuration is shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, elements common to those of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals. In this embodiment, in order to perform operations such as turning on / off the power of the elevator and switching the nonstop floor operation / normal operation mode,
A monitoring board 18 is installed in a specific part of the building, such as a building management room or an elevator machine room.
Is also connected to the elevator operation control unit 1.

Then, a mode change switch 19 for performing a non-stop floor operation / normal operation mode switching operation, a non-stop floor operation indicator light 20 for notifying the non-stop floor operation mode, and a hall call from the non-stop floor are provided on the monitoring panel 18. A non-stop floor call display lamp 21 for detecting the occurrence of a non-stop floor call and an alarm device 22 for issuing an alarm when a hall call occurs on the non-stop floor are installed.

The elevator control apparatus of this embodiment performs the operation shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5 in the non-stop floor operation mode. That is, when the elevator administrator operates the mode changeover switch 19 on the monitor panel 18 to switch the elevator to the non-stop floor operation mode in which the specific floor is the non-stop floor, the elevator operation control unit 1 causes the display system control unit 9 to operate. The non-stop floor operation indicator light 20 on the monitoring panel 18 is turned on by the same, and at the same time, the hall call and the car call of the non-stop floor that have been generated up to that point are canceled to enter the non-stop floor operation mode (step S11, S12).

Thereafter, until the mode changeover switch 19 is switched to the normal operation mode, the car call cannot be registered for the nonstop floor, and the operation control is performed so that the elevator does not stop at the nonstop floor (steps S13 and S1).
4).

However, when the ordinary person arrives at the floor designated as the non-stop floor by a car call while in the normal operation mode and is switched to the non-stop floor operation mode immediately after the elevator door is opened and lowered, If the elevator operation control unit 1 detects from the hall call registration processing unit 4 that a hall call has been generated from the non-stop floor, it means that a person is left behind on the non-stop floor. If a hall call on the non-stop floor is sent (step S
13), the non-stop floor call display lamp 21 on the monitoring panel 18 is turned on through the display system control unit 9 (step S15), and at the same time, the non-stop floor call generation is warned through the alarm device 22 (step S16).

Then, the elevator manager can hear this warning and can know that someone is left on the non-stop floor by seeing that the non-stop floor call indicator lamp 21 is turned on. By canceling the non-stop floor operation mode and returning to the normal operation mode by 19, it becomes possible for a person who has been left behind to the non-stop floor until then to move from the non-stop floor using the elevator ( Step S14).

Thus, in the case of this embodiment, when the ordinary person is switched to the non-stop floor operation mode in which the floor is the non-stop floor immediately after the general person gets off the floor, the person calls the hall to display on the monitoring panel. It is possible to prevent the general public from being inadvertently confined to the non-stop floor by turning on the non-stop floor call indicator light and notifying the elevator manager by an alarm device.

In the above embodiment, the non-stop floor call generation display is displayed, but it is also possible to only turn on the lamp and issue an alarm.

[0030]

As described above, according to the invention of claim 1,
Immediately before switching to the nonstop floor operation mode, when a person who descends to the nonstop floor calls a hall call from the nonstop floor after switching to the nonstop floor operation mode, the nonstop floor call detection means calls the hall call. It detects and notifies the non-stop floor call display means, and the non-stop floor call display means displays the hall call from another floor or the hall call generated from the non-stop floor in the car room. Other people who are using the mode know the occurrence of this nonstop floor call and notify the elevator manager or the building owner to cancel the nonstop floor operation mode and switch to the normal operation mode. Until the hall call of the person who was on the non-stop floor was legally registered and it is possible to get on the elevator from the non-stop floor, the situation where people who got off without knowing the non-stop floor are trapped there Kicking it can, thereby improving the service.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when a person who gets down to the non-stop floor performs the hall call operation immediately before switching to the non-stop floor operation mode, the hall call is generated from the non-stop floor. Since the alarm means on the monitoring panel notifies, it is possible to let the elevator manager confirm that there are people who are locked up on the nonstop floor, and the crime prevention function that is the purpose of the nonstop floor operation mode is Without damaging, it is possible to prevent the general public from being trapped in the non-stop floor and improve the service.
