When the cutoff signal from the rear photocell 12 in the car is off, it is determined that the vehicle is not in the car as in the state 6 in FIG. 4 (f) (step S7).

Next, with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. 5, the operation of the elevator operating state determination unit 24 of the elevator control device shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

In FIG. 5, it is first checked whether or not the elevator is running (step S50). If the elevator is running, the process ends without doing anything, but if the elevator is not running, It is checked whether the elevator is answering the hall call (step S51). If the hall call is being answered, it waits for the automobile to finish riding (step S57), and then it is determined whether or not the passenger has boarded from the front side (step S58). If you get on from the front side,
The direction of entry of the automobile is set to the front, and this is stored in the elevator state storage unit 25 (step S59). If the passenger has not boarded from the front side, the boarding direction of the vehicle is set to the back side, this is stored in the elevator state storage unit 25 (step S60), and the process is ended.

When the elevator is not answering the hall call in the check of step S51, it is checked whether the elevator is answering the car call (step S52). If the car call is not being answered, the process is ended, but if the car call is being answered, it is checked whether or not the vehicle is in the front direction (step S53). If the boarding direction is front, it is checked whether or not the vehicle is to be unloaded from the front side (step S61). Then, in the case of unloading from the front side, the elevator state storage unit 2 is set with the dismounting direction as the reverse direction.
5 (step S62). If the vehicle is to be lowered from the rear side rather than the front side, the vehicle is stored in the elevator state storage unit 25 with the exit direction as the forward direction (step S63), and the process is terminated.

Also, in the check in step S53, it is checked whether or not the vehicle is lowered from the front side even when the boarding direction of the vehicle is not the front side, that is, when the boarding direction is the back side (step S5).
4). Then, when the vehicle is unloaded from the front side, it is stored in the elevator state storage unit 25 with the exit direction as the forward direction (step S55). Further, in the case of lowering from the back side instead of lowering from the front side, the dismounting direction is set to the reverse direction and stored in the elevator state storage unit 25 (step S5).
6), the process ends.

That is, in this processing, step S5
When getting off from the side opposite to the boarding direction stored in 9, 60, the getting-off direction is stored as the forward direction, and when getting off from the same direction as the boarding direction, the getting-off direction is stored as the opposite direction.

As shown in FIG. 7 described above, this means that, for example, on the 4th and 5th floors, the parking lots are located on both sides of the elevator hoistway, and the car can be parked on either side of the parking lots. As shown in FIG. 2, the car 1101 includes a front car door 100 and a rear car door 10.
Since it has a structure in which two doors of 2 are provided, whether the boarding direction and the exiting direction are the forward direction (when the vehicle gets in the forward direction and gets out of the forward direction) or the reverse direction (the It is stored by determining whether it is a case of getting on in the forward direction and getting off in the backward direction. Then, according to this dismounting method, the guidance control unit 22 distinguishes whether to instruct to dismount in the forward direction or to dismount in the reverse direction.

If the vehicle is in state 2 or 3, step S2
Proceed to step 7 and check if the photocell in the opposite direction to the direction in which the car is blocked is blocked. If this is the case, guidance 2 "Please back a little" is given (step S39), and if not, guidance 10 "Please move a little further" is given and the car is in the car. The center is instructed to stop (step S40).

Further, in the check in step S23, if the vehicle is not in the state 2 or 3, the process proceeds to step S24, and the vehicle is detected from the cutoff signals of the respective photocells.
Check whether it is in state 4 or 5 of (d) or (e), and if it is, perform guidance 3 "Proceed to the stop line." The vehicle guidance target is instructed (step S28), and if not, guidance 4 "Please get in the elevator" is provided (step S25), and the vehicle is guided into the car.

Furthermore, in the check in step S21, if the hall call is not being answered, step S2
Proceed to step 9 to check if the car call is being answered. If it is not responding to the car call, the process is terminated without doing anything. If it is responding to the car call, whether or not the vehicle is in the state 6 in FIG. It is checked (step S30). In the case of state 6, that is, when there is no automobile, the process is ended without doing anything, but in the case of not state 6, it is checked whether or not the automobile gets off in the forward direction (step S31), If so, perform guidance 5 "Please pay attention to other vehicles and proceed." (Step S32). If not, "Be careful of other vehicles and go back." Please proceed. ”(Step S33), arrive at the destination floor, and give an instruction to dismount the vehicle.

In the check in step S20, if the vehicle has not stopped at the floor level, step S42.
Go to and check if it is an emergency stop. If it is not an emergency stop, follow the guidance 11 "Please keep the car stopped because it is dangerous while the elevator is running. Please wait until the elevator door opens." Is instructed (step S41).

Further, in the case of an emergency stop in the check of step S42, it is checked whether or not the vehicle is in the state 2 or 3 of FIG. 4 (b) or (c) from the cutoff signal of each photoelectric tube (step). S34). If it is not in state 2 or 3, guidance 9 "Restart the elevator operation. Stop the engine and apply the side brakes" is given (step S38).

In the check in step S34, it is detected that the vehicle is in the state 2 or 3, that is, the vehicle accidentally moves while the elevator is traveling, and the front photocell 10 in the car or the rear photocell 12 in the car is shut off. If the elevator is in an emergency stop, the process proceeds to step S35, and it is checked whether or not the photocell in the forward direction is blocked (step S35).
Guidance 7 "Emergency stop. Please move the car back a little" is performed (step S36), and if not, "Emergency stop. Please move the car slightly forward." 8 (Step S3
