Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an elevator operation system having doors in front of and behind a car, and more particularly to an elevator suitable for getting on and off passengers using wheelchairs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With increasing interest in the progress of social environment development, consideration for passengers using wheelchairs is indispensable as passengers for elevators installed in various public facilities such as station facilities for transportation. It has become a thing. By the way, in a conventional elevator, there is usually only one entry / exit door in the car, and it is necessary to advance in opposite directions when entering and exiting. Therefore, when using it in a wheelchair, it is good if you go backwards backwards and get into the car, or if you change the direction after getting into the car, but if you leave it as it is, turn it backwards when you leave the car. I had to retreat and leave.

[0003] However, it is very dangerous to get into the car while the wheelchair is moved backwards, and on the other hand, changing the direction in the car requires a large space and is difficult when there are other passengers. . Therefore, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication Nos. 50-37146, 54-10670, and 55-70691, a mirror is provided on the wall surface of the car on the side opposite to the entrance, and the car is When exiting, this mirror allows the driver to go backwards and descend while checking the rear.

However, in this conventional elevator, the backward confirmation when moving backward is a confirmation by looking at the image of the mirror, which is a safety problem compared to the confirmation by direct view, and an unfamiliar operation. Therefore, it is not easy to use, and it takes a long time to get on and off, which may cause great psychological anxiety to the wheelchair user.

Therefore, in each of JP-A-60-106775 and JP-A-60-23272, there is a front and rear entrance.
Using a car equipped with (car side door), after getting in from one of the doorways at one floor, at the other floor you want,
We are proposing an elevator that can move forward and leave the car from the doorway on the other side.

[0006]

The above-mentioned prior art has a problem that no consideration is given to usability when a car having front and rear doors is used.

That is, in order to enable the use in a boarding / alighting pattern in which the building has entrances on two sides in the front and rear, where the passengers enter in the forward direction and exit in the forward direction, depending on the direction of the exit on the stopped floor. , It is necessary to distinguish the entrance on the boarding floor into an entrance for exclusive use of ascending call and an entrance for exclusive use of descending call, and if you do not select an appropriate entrance at this time, use in a boarding pattern where you get in as you move forward and exit as it is. It is not possible to do so, and thus there is a problem in terms of usability.

It is an object of the present invention that there are two entrances on the building side at the front and rear, and there is a distinction between the entrance for exclusive use of ascending call and the entrance for exclusive use of descending call. The purpose is to provide an elevator that can be used in a boarding / alighting pattern in which passengers get on and get off as they go forward.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above-mentioned object is, in an elevator where the stop floor extends over at least three floors, where there are two building entrances on the front and rear on the middle floor,
This is achieved by dividing into an entrance for exclusive use of ascending call and an entrance for exclusive use of descending call, such that descending call registration cannot be performed at the entrance for exclusive use of ascending call and ascending call cannot be registered at the entrance for exclusive use of descending call. Furthermore, different guide displays are provided for the ascending call dedicated entrance and the descending call dedicated entrance.

[0010]

[Function] Since the descending call cannot be registered at the entrance for exclusive use of the ascending call and the ascending call cannot be registered at the entrance for exclusive use of the descending call, it is possible to prevent passengers from accidentally getting into the elevator from the wrong entrance and exit, and always make sure to move forward. It is possible to use it in a boarding / alighting pattern in which you get in and get off in the same way. Further, at this time, the guide display allows the passenger to select an appropriate entrance / exit without confusion.

[0011]

[Embodiment] The elevator according to the present invention will be described below.
This will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. It should be noted that the elevator according to the present invention can be applied to all elevators as long as the number of stop floors is three or more floors.
A case where the present invention is applied to a floor elevator will be described. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
Is the elevator hoistway, 2 is the car, 3, 4, 5,
6 is the hall (hall) on the building side, 7, 8, 9, 1
Reference numerals 0 are elevator doors at the entrances and exits on the building side.

The hoistway 1 is installed in a building with a stop floor on each floor, with the first floor as the bottom floor, the second floor as the middle floor, and the third floor as the top floor. 6
Is provided. The car 2 moves up and down in the hoistway 1 and stops at each floor. Here, 2A
Is the car when landing on the bottom floor (1st floor), 2B is the middle floor (2
2F shows the car when landing, and 2C shows the car when landing on the top floor (3rd floor).

Although not shown in the figure, the car 2 has a positional relationship in which it can go straight out from the other side after entering the car from one side and without changing the direction. In this manner, that is, in the figure, the left side is the front side, and the right side is the rear side, so that a total of two places are provided at the front and rear, which are entrance / exit doors, that is, the car side entrance / exit doors.

The elevator doors 7 to 10 at the doorway on the building side are opened / closed in conjunction with the door on the car side only when the car 2 is on the floor so that passengers can get on and off. Then, at this time, the lowermost lift door, that is, the lift door 7 on the first floor in this embodiment, and the lift door on the top floor, that is, the lift door 10 on the third floor in this embodiment, are both normal. Although it is an entrance / exit, the front lift door 8 at the front landing 4 and the rear lift door 9 at the rear landing 5 on the middle floor, that is, on the second floor in this embodiment, are used only for ascending passengers. It is divided into an exit for exclusive use of the mouth and down, and an exclusive entrance for up and down.

That is, the front lift door 8 is dedicated to the entrance when going up, and the exit door is used when going down, and the rear lift door 9 is, on the contrary,
When going in the down direction, it is dedicated to the entrance, and when going in the up direction, it is dedicated to the exit. And this gives
As will be described below, in this embodiment, it is possible to use the vehicle in a boarding / alighting pattern in which the vehicle gets in forward and then descends as it is.

[0016] In other words, when the car 2A that has landed on the bottom floor is boarded from the landing 3 on the first floor, it is the middle floor 2
On the floor, the passenger exits from the entrance and exit doors 9 for exclusive use of the car 2B to the rear platform 4, and on the top floor, the third floor, from the entrance door 10 of the car 2C to the rear platform 5.
Even if the wheelchair is used, it is possible to move forward and get into the car (forward riding), and to go forward and get down (forward descent) even when the wheelchair is used.

Next, when the passenger enters the car 2C on the top floor from the platform 6 on the third floor through the door 10
From the car 2B landed on the first floor, get off at the platform 4 from the door 8 which is an exclusive entrance and exit only exit, and on the lowest floor, from the car 1A door 7 which is landed on the first floor. By getting off at the landing 3 as well, even when using a wheelchair, without changing the direction in the car, it is possible to drive forward as it is,
You can move forward and down.

In the case of getting in a wheelchair from the middle floor, that is, from the second floor in this embodiment, and ascending, from the platform 4 on the second floor, through the entrance / exit door 8 of the exclusive up-ride entrance / down-only exit, Get on the car 2B on this floor,
By getting off from the door 10 on the rear side of the 3rd floor to the landing 6, even when using a wheelchair, it is possible to get on and off as it is without changing the direction in the car.

Furthermore, if you get in the wheelchair from the second floor, which is also the middle floor, and then descend, this is the landing 5 on the second floor.
When using a wheelchair, enter the car 2B that has landed on this floor through the entrance and exit doors 9 for exclusive use of descending and ascending exits, and get off at the platform 3 from the front door 7 on the bottom floor. Even in the car, it is possible to drive forward and backward without changing the direction in the car.

Therefore, for this purpose, the front elevator door 8 at the building entrance on the front landing 4 on the second floor can be used only as an ascending exclusive entrance and an exclusive descending entrance, Similarly, the front door 9 on the front side of the building entrance on the rear landing 5 on the second floor must be used only as a downward-only entrance and an upward-only exit.

Therefore, in this embodiment, at the front landing 4 on the second floor, where the front lifting door 8 is provided, as shown in FIG. Only the button 12 is provided, and the upward guide door indicator 13 and the guide broadcasting speaker 14 are provided so as to notify that the downward passenger is prohibited. On the other hand, the rear lift door is provided. As shown in FIG. 2 (b), at the landing 5 on the rear side of the second floor where 9 is located, only the down hall button 15 is provided, and the down guidance guide display 16 and the guide broadcasting speaker 14 are provided. Is provided to inform that entry in the upward direction is prohibited.

As a result, since there is no downward hall button at the front landing 4 on the second floor, the downward call registration cannot be performed here, and that is because of the upward guide entrance guidance display 13 and the guide broadcasting. The speaker 14 becomes informed. Similarly, since there is no upward direction hall button at the landing 5 on the rear side of the second floor, upward call registration cannot be performed here, and that is why the downward guidance guide display 1
6 and the information broadcasting speaker 14.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the wheelchair user on the middle floor can select the gates necessary for use in the boarding / alighting pattern of getting in the vehicle forward and then going forward and down without any confusion. , Can always be performed reliably and easily.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the guide display 13 for exclusive use of the ascending door has a description that the exclusive ascending entrance is on the opposite side, As is clear from FIG. 2 (b), the guide display 16 for exclusive use of the descending entrance has a description that the exclusive entrance for the ascending entrance is on the opposite side, so that it is even more convenient for the elevator user. Can be better.

[0025]

According to the present invention, the user can be surely informed that the platform on the intermediate floor and the door on the building side are dedicated, and it is necessary to distinguish them from each other. People can easily select an appropriate gateway without confusion,
