Abstract

PURPOSE: To impart no irritated feeling to a passenger entering a car by opening a door at a usual speed, keeping to be opened for a usual time and closing it at slower speed than the usual speed in the case where a pushed signal is for a wheelchair. CONSTITUTION: It is judged that a signal outputted from a main control board 3 to a door control board 10 is for a wheelchair, a door 13 is opened at a usual speed. When the door 13 is fully opened, a door time is set to a usual time. When a set time is passed, the main control board 3 outputs a signal of door-closing to the door control board 10. Thus, since the set time is set to a usual time, a passenger entering a car 4 does not feel an irritated sense because the door 13 is already closed at the same time as usual from the view of the passenger side. Next, a signal is outputted from the door control board 10 to an inverter 12 and the door 13 is closed at an approximately half late speed of a usual speed. Therefore, even if the door time is a usual time, a passenger of wheelchair can ride therein with time to spare.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an elevator for wheelchairs provided with a hall button for wheelchairs and a car button for wheelchairs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, wheelchair elevator halls and cars are provided with hall buttons for wheelchairs and car buttons for wheelchairs in addition to ordinary hall buttons and ordinary car buttons. When the wheel button for wheelchairs or the car button for wheelchairs is pressed, the time (door time) to be left open after opening the door is longer than usual so that the person in the wheelchair can get on and off the car with room. are doing.

[0003]

However, even an elevator for a wheelchair is often used by a healthy person who does not actually use a wheelchair. At this time, the healthy person may erroneously press the hall button for wheelchairs or the car button for wheelchairs, and then the door time becomes longer than usual. That is, the door remains open long after a healthy person gets into the car and does not close as quickly as when pressing a normal hall button or a normal car button. As a result, there was a problem that a healthy person who got in the car had to wait for the door to close, which was annoying.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator for wheelchairs that does not cause annoyance to passengers in a car.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve such an object, a hall button for wheelchairs and a normal hall button provided on the landing side, and a car button for wheelchairs and a usual wheel button provided on the car side. Car button, doors respectively arranged on the landing side and the car side, door opening and closing means for opening and closing this door, and the door opening and closing means when a signal from the ordinary hall button or the ordinary car button is input. In a wheelchair elevator equipped with a control means that outputs a signal to the door to open the door at a normal speed, then keeps the door open at a normal time, and then closes at a normal speed. When a signal from the hall button or the wheelchair car button is input to the control means, the door is opened at a normal speed and then kept open at a normal time. And has a configuration which is adapted close at a slower rate than subsequent the normal speed.

[0006]

When the control means determines that the pressed signal is for a wheelchair, the door is opened at a normal speed. When the door is fully opened, the door time is set to the normal time.
During this time, healthy people as well as people in wheelchairs also get into the car. When the set time has elapsed, the control means outputs a door closing signal. In this way, since the set time is normally set, the door can be closed at the same time as usual for the person who gets into the car, so that there is no annoyance. The door is closed at a slow speed, which is about 1/2 the normal speed.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 are views showing an embodiment of a wheelchair elevator according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numerals 1 and 2 denote a normal hall button and a wheelchair hall button provided in a hall, and when the normal hall button 1 or the wheelchair hall button 2 is pressed, the push signal Is output to the main control panel (control means) 3 installed in the machine room above the hoistway. A normal car button 5 and a wheelchair car button 6 are provided in the car 4, and when the normal car button 5 or the wheelchair car button 6 is pressed, this pressing signal is sent to the main control panel 3. Is output.

A drive signal is output from the main control panel 3 to the hoisting machine 7, and the hoisting machine 7 vertically moves the car 4 in balance with the counterweight 9 via the rope 8.

The car 4 is provided with a door control panel 10 (control means), a door motor 11 (door opening / closing means), etc. When a signal is output from the door control panel 10 to the inverter 12, the door motor 11 is driven by the inverter 12. Driven,
Open and close the car-side door 13. Further, the car 4 is provided with a door encoder (not shown), and this door encoder detects whether the door 13 is fully opened or closed. The car-side door 13 engages with a landing-side door (not shown) when the car 4 is landed, and simultaneously opens and closes.

The main control panel 3 controls the entire operation of the elevator, and sets the time (door time) in which the door 13 is left open and measures the elapsed time with this timer unit. The door control panel 10 mainly controls opening / closing of the door 13 and opening / closing speed.

Next, the operation of the wheelchair elevator will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG.

The main control panel 3 determines whether the normal hall button 1 or the wheelchair hall button 2 has been pressed (step S ₁ ). When it is judged that it has been pressed, the main control panel 3
A signal is output from the door control panel 10 to the door control panel 10, and the door control panel 10 determines whether the signal is for a wheelchair (step S ₂ ).

When it is judged to be normal, a door open signal is output from the main control panel 3 to the door control panel 10. A signal is output from the door control panel 10 to the inverter 12, and the door 13
It is opened at the normal speed (step S _3). Next, to detect whether the door 13 is fully opened by the door encoder (step S _4).

When the door 13 is fully opened, a signal is output from the main control panel 3 to the door control panel 10 and the door time is set to a normal time (about 10 seconds) (step S ₅ ). Setting the door time is measured elapsed time by a timer unit of the main control board 3, it is determined whether the normal time has elapsed (Step S _6). When the normal time elapses, the signal of the door closing the main box 3 to the door control panel 10 is outputted (step S _7), the door 13 is closed at a normal speed (step S _8). Next, the fully closed door 13 is detected by the door encoder (Step S _9), the full closing is detected, the car 4 is departure (step S _10).

Next, when it is determined that the signal output from the main control panel 3 to the door control panel 10 is for a wheelchair,
Door 10 is opened at a normal speed (step S _11), to detect whether the door 13 is fully opened by the door encoder (step S _12).

[0017] When the door 13 is fully opened, to set the door time to normal time (step S _13). During this time, not only people in wheelchairs but also healthy people will be in the car. When the set time has elapsed (Step S _14), the main control board 3 outputs a signal of a door closing to door control panel 10 (step S _15). As described above, since the set time is set to the normal time, the door 1 is seen from the person who gets in the car 4.
No need to irritate the 3 as it will close at the same time as usual.

Next, from the door control panel 10 to the inverter 12
Signal is output to the door 13 is closed by about 1/2 slow speed of the normal speed (step S _16). Since the door 13 is closed at a speed as slow as about 1/2 of the normal speed, a person in a wheelchair can get in with a sufficient margin even when the door time is a normal time.

Next, when the fully closed door 13 is detected by the door encoder (step S _17), the car 4 is starting (step S _10).

On the other hand, when the normal car button 5 or the wheelchair car button 6 is pressed to get out of the car 4, the same operation is performed.

Since the door time is a normal time,
There is also an effect that the operation time of the elevator is shortened as a whole.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention,
When a signal from a wheelchair hall button or a wheelchair car button is input to the control means, the door is opened at a normal speed and then left open at a normal time, and then at a speed lower than the normal speed. Since the doors can be closed at the same time as usual, while ensuring that people in wheelchairs can get on and off with plenty of time, there is no annoyance to passengers in the car. .
