Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates in particular to motor vehicle elevators.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an example of a conventional car for an automobile elevator. In FIG. 5, the basket floor 10
The vehicle 4 that has been driven into the vehicle is driven in from the right side in FIG.

In order for the driver of the automobile 4 to go to a desired floor, a method of registering the floor by pushing the destination floor button 3 of the in-car operation panel 2 provided in the substantially central portion of the left and right side plates 1 Has been adopted. When the car lands on the desired floor,
It is possible to escape the car 4 to the landing. In addition, in an elevator car for an automobile, it is generally possible to enter from the left side in FIG. 5, and there is an elevator in which a car door panel is provided at the left and right ends in FIG.

[0004]

However, in the automobile elevator constructed as described above, in order for the driver who drives the automobile 4 and gets into the car to press the destination floor button 3, the automobile window is opened. Not only does it have to be opened, but the height of the driver's seat varies greatly depending on the size of the car or the size of the car, so the destination floor button 3 may not be accessible.

Then, the position of the automobile is changed, or
You have to open the car door and get out of the car.
This is not only a nuisance for the driver, but if the front and rear parts of this car enter the range of the photoelectric detector described above because the position of the car is changed, the elevator will not start, so the operating efficiency of the elevator will also decrease. To do.

Further, when the car loaded in the car is biased, the door of the car may come into contact with the operation panel 2, the paint of the vehicle 4 may be peeled off, or the destination floor button 3 of the operation panel 2 may be damaged.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to obtain an elevator for a vehicle which can easily carry out car call registration regardless of the type of the vehicle.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, in an elevator for an automobile that elevates and lowers a plurality of floors, a car for the elevator for the automobile has a display unit for repeatedly displaying a destination floor and a car. It is characterized in that a receiving unit is provided for receiving a car call registration signal by ringing a horn of a stopped automobile.

Further, according to a second aspect of the present invention, in an elevator for an automobile that elevates and lowers a plurality of floors, a car door of the elevator for the automobile, a display unit for repeatedly displaying a destination floor, and a car stop. It is characterized in that a receiver is provided for receiving a car call registration signal by ringing the horn of the car.

[0010]

The vehicle driver can register the car call by ringing the horn in the driver's seat.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of an automobile elevator according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an automobile elevator according to the present invention, and FIG.
It is a figure corresponding to. The same parts as those in FIG. 5 are designated by the same reference numerals.

In FIG. 1, the light projecting portion and the light receiving portion of the photoelectric detector 8 are attached to predetermined positions at the left end and the not-shown right end of the side plate 1 of the car, respectively. On the other hand, in the center part of the ceiling 5 at the left end in FIG.
Is attached with the display unit facing diagonally downward. A microphone 7 is attached to the left side of the digital indicator 6 in FIG.

In the automobile elevator constructed as above, when the automobile 4 stops within a predetermined range limited by the photoelectric detector 8, the digital indicator 6 indicates the floor on which the automobile elevator is installed. The numbers shown are displayed in order. For example, in an automobile elevator that stops from the 1st floor to the 4th floor, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 are repeatedly displayed at intervals of 1.5 seconds.

On the other hand, the driver of the automobile rings the horn of the automobile when the floor number desired by the driver is displayed. Then, the displayed floor is registered in the car call registration circuit of the elevator control panel by the electric current flowing through the microphone 7 due to this ringing. At the same time, the digital indicator 6 holds the number of that floor, and then the elevator car is activated. In addition,
When the number of the digital indicator 6 is not held, such as when the volume of the horn is low, the driver causes the horn to ring again when the next number is displayed.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a control circuit of an automobile elevator constructed as described above. As shown in FIG. 2, the detection signal of the microphone 7 which has detected this sound by the horn of the automobile is input to the car call registration device 11 of the elevator control panel.

At the same time, the floor display information is continuously input from the count-up circuit 12 of the digital indicator, and the floor display information at the time when the detection signal is input from the microphone 7 is registered. A drive signal is output from the count-up circuit 12 and the car call registration device 11 to the indicator drive circuit 13, and then the indicator drive circuit 13
Drives the digital indicator 6.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the operation of the automobile elevator thus constructed. In FIG. 3, when the elevator approaches the predetermined floor, step 21
When the vehicle is decelerated by, the car call is released in step 22, and the digital indicator 6 shown in FIG. 1 blinks in step 23 to indicate the arrival of the car on the floor. Step 24
When it is confirmed in step 25 that the car has landed, the car has stopped, the car has penetrated into the car, and the phototube has stopped it in place, the process moves to the next step 26 and the digital indicator 6 counts. Up.

When it is confirmed in the next step 27 that the horn of the automobile is ringing, the process proceeds to the next step 28, in which the count-up by the digital indicator 6 is stopped,
Proceeding to the next step 29, car call registration is performed, and in the next step 30, the elevator is started. Thereafter, the process returns to step 21 and the above-mentioned processing and judgment are repeated.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an elevator for an automobile according to a second aspect of the present invention, showing a case where a car door panel 9 is provided in a car and a digital indicator 6 and a microphone 7 are attached to the car door panel 9. Show.

In this case, since the driver 4 of the automobile 4 is provided with the digital indicator 6 on the front car door panel 9, it becomes easier for the driver to visually recognize the digital indicator 6 indicating the floor by a numeral.

[0021]

As described above, according to the invention of claim 1,
In a car elevator that elevates and lowers multiple floors, the car elevator car has a display unit that repeatedly displays the destination floor and a reception unit that receives a car call registration signal by ringing the horn of the car stopped in the car. By providing the car call registration by allowing the driver of the car to ring the horn in the driver's seat, it is possible to easily perform car call registration regardless of the type of car. Can be obtained.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in an elevator for an automobile that elevates and lowers a plurality of floors, a car door of the elevator of this automobile has a display section for repeatedly displaying a destination floor, and a car. By providing a reception unit that receives the car call registration signal by the horn of the stopped car, the driver of the car can make the car call registration by sounding the horn in the driver's seat. Regardless of the above, it is possible to obtain an automobile elevator that can easily perform car call registration.
