Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a multi-deck elevator having an elevator car frame having at least two baskets in a vertical direction of the elevator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when two or more double-deck elevators having two cage chambers are arranged side by side in a vertical direction of a cage frame, one of the elevators stops due to some abnormality or failure, When it became impossible to move after that, the other double-deck elevator that moved up and down adjacently moved up and down and approached, and the passengers trapped through the rescue door were rescued.

Prior to the rescue of passengers, in the elevator monitoring room and control room, the elevator is stopped and moved due to a notification from an intercom or the like from a passenger in the stopped car room or a signal transmission from the stopped elevator control device. You can know that you can no longer.

When an elevator supervisor or the like confirms that the elevator has stopped due to a signal transmission from the control device, first, an intercom or the like is used to check whether there are passengers in the car room, and if there are passengers in the car room. Turns on the rescue switch in the monitoring room,
The rescuer boarded the elevator car that was installed side by side and similarly turned on the rescue switch on the operation panel inside the car.

In the double-deck elevator, in the monitoring room and the operation panel in the car, a car selection switch for selecting the car on which the passenger is riding (whether the upper car or the lower car is rescued) along with the rescue switch. Or both) were provided, and the rescue system was configured by operating these switches.

The elevator motor (hoisting machine)
Is provided with a car position detection device, and a pulse signal indicating the car stop position is transmitted from the pulse generator of the car position detection device to the rescue-side elevator control device via the control device.

In the control device for the double-deck elevator on which the rescuer rides, the pulse value generated by the pulse generator of the car position detecting device matches the pulse value of the pulse signal indicating the car stop position of the stopped car. Drive the motor. Therefore, the elevator car on which the rescuer boarded traveled to the vicinity of the opponent's car and stopped, so that the rescuer could open the rescue doors beside both the baskets and rescue the trapped passengers.

[0008]

As is seen in the conventional double-deck elevators described above, in so-called multiple-deck elevators installed side by side, one of them is stopped due to an accident or the like and an attempt is made to rescue the passengers trapped. In this case, the surveillance room side first confirms the presence or absence of passengers in the car by using an intercom, etc., and operates the rescue switch and the car selection switch according to the result and carries out a rescue operation.

Therefore, when the rescue work is started, it is necessary to first confirm the passengers in the car by means of an intercom or the like. Therefore, if the intercom or the like fails, it may be difficult to confirm the passengers and it may take time to rescue the passengers. It was

The double-deck elevator has a drawback that it is difficult to immediately know which passenger is in the upper car or the lower car. Of course, passengers may be trapped in both the upper and lower baskets. If it is known in advance that the total number of passengers in both the upper car and the lower car is small, a rescuer boarded in one car (one car) can accommodate and rescue all the passengers at once.

[0011] As a result, even if all the people can be accommodated in one basket, if the rescue operation is started without being able to contact the intercom in advance, the situation (number of passengers) cannot be grasped. Therefore, after the passengers in one basket were rescued and evacuated to the evacuation floor, the passengers in the other basket were rescued again, and it took a very long time to be rescued. In addition, the rescuer may start rescue without being able to confirm whether the passenger is in the upper basket or the lower basket.
The presence or absence of passengers cannot be confirmed unless the upper car and lower car rescue openings are opened, and there is a similar problem that it takes time to rescue the passengers.

If the total number of passengers in each car exceeds the capacity of one car on the rescue side and not all passengers can ride, the rescuers board the upper car and the lower car in advance, and the upper car and the lower car. It is also necessary to rescue all passengers at the same time.

Further, in an emergency when an accident occurs, it is often confused. Therefore, especially in a multi-deck elevator, there is a possibility that passengers may be left behind in one of the baskets if the rescue is forgotten.

As described above, when the presence or absence of passengers in the stopped basket and the number of passengers cannot be accurately grasped due to a failure of the intercom or the like, it becomes difficult to establish an appropriate rescue system,
There was a problem that it led to delay in rescue operations.

Further, in the multi-deck elevator, even if the presence or absence of passengers is known in advance by the intercom, when rescue of both the upper car and the lower car of the stop side by only one car, one car is rescued. There was a need for improvement because the sound of the rescue of passengers could be heard by other passengers in the car, causing unnecessary anxiety to the passengers.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. Even if the intercom or the like fails, the passenger's anxiety can be reduced and the passenger can be rescued accurately and promptly. The purpose is to provide multiple deck elevators.

[0017]

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, a first invention is a multiple deck elevator in which a plurality of basket chambers are installed in an elevator car frame in a vertical direction. A car position detecting means for detecting a car position, a load detecting means for detecting a load inside the car of the elevator, a passenger detecting means for detecting presence or absence of a passenger in the car by a detection signal from the load detecting means, and this passenger detecting It is characterized in that it further comprises another elevator that moves up and down in response to a car position detection signal from the car position detection means so as to approach a car where passengers are detected by the means.

Since the multiple deck elevator according to the present invention is provided with the basket position detecting means, the load detecting means and the passenger detecting means, it is possible to confirm the presence or absence of the passenger without using an intercom or the like, so that the passenger can be rescued promptly. You can

A second aspect of the present invention is a multiple deck elevator in which a plurality of cage chambers are similarly installed in an elevator cage frame in the ascending / descending direction, and a cage position detecting means for detecting the cage position of the elevator and the cage of the elevator. Passenger number detecting means for detecting the number of passengers from the number of call signals, and moving up and down in response to the car position detection signal from the car position detecting means so as to approach the car where the passengers detected by the passenger number detecting means are located. It is characterized by being provided with another elevator.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the number of passengers can be known in advance by the passenger number detecting means without using an intercom or the like, so that the passengers can be rescued smoothly and quickly.

A third aspect of the present invention is a multiple deck elevator in which a plurality of cage chambers are also installed in the elevator cage frame in the ascending / descending direction, and a cage position detecting means for detecting the cage position of the elevator and the cages. Load detection means for detecting the load in each basket of the chamber, load calculation means for calculating the sum of the loads in each basket detected by this load detection means, and a basket position detection signal from the basket position detection means. And another elevator that can move up and down so as to approach the plurality of basket chambers and that stops moving along the plurality of basket chambers sequentially when the value of the maximum load exceeds the sum of the loads in the basket. It is characterized by doing.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the total number of passengers can be grasped in advance by the load calculating means when, for example, passengers are trapped in both the upper car and the lower car. It is possible to rescue, and it is not necessary to temporarily evacuate the passengers in one basket to the evacuation floor and then rescue the passengers in the other basket as in the conventional case, and the rescue can be speeded up.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of a multiple deck elevator according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. In the following embodiments, a double deck elevator in the multiple deck elevator will be described as an example.

(First Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing the overall configuration of a first embodiment of a multiple deck elevator according to the present invention.

That is, it is assumed that a pair of double deck elevators 1 and 2 having the same structure are juxtaposed and run independently of each other. As in the conventional case, each double-deck elevator 1, 2 is configured with a control device 11, 21 whose detailed circuit is shown in FIG. 2 and a motor 13, 23 incorporating the car position detection device 12, 22. 11,
Signal cables 14 and 24 connect 21 and the car rooms of the elevators 1 and 2, respectively. The cage frames of the elevators 1 and 2 are connected to the counterweights 16 and 26 by ropes 15 and 25.

Reference numeral 3 is a transmission line between the control devices 11 and 21, and each control device 11 and 21 and the motors 13 and 23.
Also, transmission lines 11a, 11b and 21a, 21b are connected to the car position detecting devices 12, 22 respectively.

Now, one double-deck elevator 1
The following description will be made assuming that the vehicle is out of order, the passengers are confined, and the rescue personnel board the other double-deck elevator 2 for rescue. In FIG. 1, the passenger 1Aa and the passenger 1Ba are displayed in both the upper car 1A and the lower car 1B of the elevator 1 on the rescued side, respectively, but in the first embodiment, the lower car 1Aa and the passenger 1Ba are displayed. 1B passenger 1B
a, the upper basket 2 of the elevator 2 on the rescue side (rescue side)
The description will be made assuming that the rescuer 2Aa boarded in A rescues.

Then, each basket 1 of each elevator 1, 2
A, 1B and 2A, 2B have load detectors 1Ab, 1Bb
And 2Ab and 2Bb are provided, and each load detector 1
The load data in the car detected by Ab, 1Bb and 2Ab, 2Bb correspond to the presence or absence of passengers as shown in FIG.
It is represented by a digit digital signal. These load detectors 1A
The in-car load data by b, 1Bb and 2Ab, 2Bb are transmitted to the corresponding control devices 11, 21 via the signal cables 14, 24. The load data in the basket transmitted to the control devices 11 and 21 is the load input means 1 shown in FIG.
CPU (central processing unit) 11b via 1a and 21a,
21b, and the CPU 11b and 21b determine the load data to determine the presence or absence of passengers.

The CPU 11b, 21b determines the load data in the four-digit digital display shown in FIG. 3, if there is "1" as in the lower basket 1B data, there is a load in the basket, that is, It is determined that there are passengers in the car, and if all are “0” as in the upper car 1A data, it is determined that there are no passengers.

Further, the pulse input means 1 is connected to the CPU 11b.
A pulse value representing the car position of the car 1A (or 1B), that is, a car position detection signal is transmitted from the pulse generator of the car position detecting device 12 via 1c. The car position detection signal of the stopped car and the data that the passenger (rescued person) 1Ba is in the lower car 1B are transmitted from the CPU 11b through the transmission means 11d and the transmission line 3 to the other control device 2.
1 is transmitted. The data indicating that the stopped car position detection signal transmitted to the CPU 21b via the transmission means 21d of the control device 21 and the fact that the passenger 1Ba is in the lower basket 1B are:
It is transmitted to and stored in the RAM 21e, which is a read / write memory.

Therefore, in order to transmit the fact that the rescuer 2Aa gets into the upper basket 2A and gets into the upper basket 2A to the control device 21, the rescue switch 2Ac1 of the in-car operation panel 2Ac shown in FIG. 1 is turned on. Rescue switch 2
The signal of Ac1 is transmitted to the control device 21 by the signal cable 24.
CPU via rescue switch (SW) input means 21f
21b, the CPU 21b determines that the rescuer 2Aa has boarded the upper basket 2A.

Next, the data that the passenger 1Ba is in the lower basket 1B on the stopped side, which is stored in the RAM 21e of the control device 21, is sent to the CPU 21b, and C
The PU 21b is located at the position of the basket 1B (or the basket 1A) on which the passenger 1Ba is riding and the basket 2A on which the rescuer 2Aa is riding
Is determined.

The stopped cage position detection signal stored in the RAM 21e is read by the CPU 21b.
However, if the car position pulse value of the car position detection signal on the stopped side and the car position pulse value of the car position detection signal on the riding side of the rescuer 2Aa are simply matched, the upper car 1A on one side and the other car 1A on the other side The upper basket 2A (the lower basket 1B on one side and the lower basket 2B on the other side) coincide with each other, and the cage 2A of the rescuer 2Aa and the cage 1 of the rescuee 1Ba are not aligned with each other and rescue cannot be performed. Therefore, the value of the deviation of the pulse value that occurs when the passenger 1Ba of the lower basket 1B is rescued by the upper basket 2A (in other cases, the passenger of the upper basket 1A by the lower basket 2B) is previously stored as a correction value in the ROM (read-only). The CPU 21b reads the correction value from the ROM 21g and performs a correction calculation on one of the cage position detection signals, and then determines the cage position to be stopped.

Therefore, in the CPU 21b, the pulse value based on the correction calculation result of the car position detection signal on the stopped side is set to (A), and the elevator car transmitted from the rescue side car position detection device 22 from the pulse value (A) one by one. The pulse value (B) of the basket position detection signal of 2 is subtracted. This CPU
The subtraction result of the car position detection signal at 21b becomes 0, and the CPU 21b operates the motor 23 via the motor driving means 21i until the position of the lower car 1B on which the passenger 1Ba is on and the position of the upper car 2A on which the rescuer 2Aa is on are aligned. Drive control.

When the subtraction result becomes 0 and the motor 23 is stopped, the rescuer 2Aa operates the upper basket rescue door 2 shown in FIG.
The passenger and the passenger 1Ba can be evacuated to the safe evacuation floor by opening the Ad and the lower car rescue door 1Bd.

The multiple deck elevator according to this embodiment is constructed as described above, but the control device 1 is newly provided.
The procedure for passenger rescue will be described with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 focusing on the operations 1 and 21.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the controller 11 first determines whether or not there is load data in each basket from the load detectors 1Ab and 1Bb (step S1), and the basket 1A (from the basket position detector 12) Alternatively, the pulse value (car position detection signal) representing the stopped car position of 1B) is transmitted to the rescue-side control device 21 via the transmission line 3 (step S2).

When it is determined in step S1 that "load data is present" and that there are passengers in the car (YES) (step S3), the "load data is present" signal is also transmitted to the transmission line 3 in the same manner. It is transmitted to the rescue-side control device 21 via (step S4).

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the rescue-side control device 21 receives the "load data present" signal and the "car position detection" signal transmitted from the control device 11 in the RAM 21e.
(Step S5).

The rescuer 2Aa gets into the upper basket 2A of the rescue elevator, and the rescue SW 2A of the operation panel 2Ac inside the basket.
The c1 is turned on (step S6). This rescue SW2
The CPU 21b is pre-stored in the ROM 21g in order to calculate the basket position detection signal of the basket 2A on which the rescuer 2Aa is on from the basket position detection device 22 and the "stop basket position" signal by the ON signal of Ac1. Upper basket 2
The deviation (correction value) of the pulse value that occurs when the passenger 1Ba of the lower basket 1B is rescued by A (or the rescuer of the lower basket 2B is rescued by the passenger 1Aa of the upper basket 1A) is read from the ROM 21g, and the "stop cage" is read. The correction calculation of the "position" signal is performed, and the correction calculation result (A) is calculated (step 7).

The CPU 21b subtracts the basket position detection signal (B) sent from the basket position detecting device 22 from the correction calculation result (A) (step S8).

The motor 23 is operated until the subtraction result becomes zero.
Is driven (step S9). When the subtraction result becomes 0 (A−B = 0) (step S10) and the position of the lower basket 1B on which the passenger 1Ba is on and the position of the upper basket 2A on which the rescuer 2Aa is on, the motor 23 is stopped. (Step S11).

As a result, the rescuer 2Aa opens the upper basket rescue door 2Ad and the lower basket rescue door 1Bd, and the passenger 1B.
a can be rescued.

As described above, according to this embodiment,
Since the basket position detecting means, the load detecting means and the passenger detecting means are provided, it is possible to confirm the presence or absence of the passenger without using an intercom or the like as in the conventional case, so that the passenger can be quickly rescued.

In the first embodiment, the presence / absence of passengers is detected by the load detecting means, but the presence / absence of passengers can also be detected from the destination registration operation of the passenger's basket operation panel. (Second Embodiment) That is, the second embodiment of the multiple deck elevator according to the present invention is similarly shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 6 showing the call call number data, and the processing flow. Will be described with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG.

First, a passenger gets on the car 1A of the elevator 1 and presses the button on the car operation panel 1Ac to register the destination floor. By registering the destination floor by each passenger,
As shown in FIG. 6, the registration data is a binary number (a) 0 when the number of registered passengers is 0, (b) 1 when the number of registered passengers is 1, and (c) 10 when the number of registered passengers is 2, (D) When there are three registered passengers, passenger data is registered each time at the same time as the destination floor registration such as 11 ... And the passenger data is transmitted to the control device 11 via the signal cable 14. The passenger data transmitted to the control device 11 is supplied to the CPU 11b via the basket call input means 11h, and the CPU 11b determines the presence / absence of passengers in the current cage and the number of passengers from the correlation between the passenger data and the stop floor signal. To do.

That is, as shown in FIG.
The presence / absence of passengers in the car and the number of passengers are determined by data processing in 11b by correlating with the number of destination floors registered by passengers and the number of passengers getting off at the stop floor (step T1).

Next, when the elevator 1 of the car 1A on which the passenger 1Aa is on stops, it is determined whether or not the stop is due to a failure (step T2). When the vehicle is stopped due to a failure or the like (YES), the CPU 11b determines the presence / absence of passengers from the correlation processing result (step T3), and if "there are passengers in the car" (YES), the number of passengers in the car described above is determined. The data and the "car position detection" signal from the car position detecting device 12 are transmitted from the control device 11 to the other control device 21 via the transmission line 3 (step T4).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the other control unit 21 sends the data of the number of passengers in the car and the "car position detection" signal from the control unit 11 to the RAM 2 via the CPU 21b.
It is stored in 1e (step T5).

Thereafter, as in the case of the flow from step S6 shown in FIG. 5, the rescue worker 2Aa gets into the upper car 2A of the elevator 2 for rescue and turns on the rescue SW 2Ac1 of the in-car operation panel 2Ac (step). As a result of T6), the fact that the user has boarded the upper basket 2A is transmitted to the control device 21 via the signal cable 24 and supplied to the CPU 21b.

The CPU 21b reads the correction value from the ROM 21g, calculates the correction calculation result (A), and subtracts the basket position signal (B) from the correction calculation result (A) (step T).
7).

Further, the CPU 21b causes the subtraction result (A-
The motor 23 is driven and controlled until (B) becomes 0 (step T8), and when the subtraction result (step T9) becomes 0 (YES), the motor 23 is stopped (step T1).
0), the rescuer 2Aa opens the upper basket rescue door 2Ad and the upper basket rescue door 1Ad to rescue the passenger 1Aa.

As described above, according to this embodiment,
Since it is possible to know the number of passengers prior to the rescue by the passenger number detection means based on the destination floor registration and the stop floor information without using any intercom, it is possible to rescue the passengers smoothly and quickly.

In the above first and second embodiments, the case where there is a passenger in only one (1B) of the stopped baskets has been described, but there are passengers in both the upper basket 1A and the lower basket 1B.
If the weight of the total number of persons is equal to or less than the maximum load of one rescuer basket, the passengers can be rescued quickly at a time.

(Third Embodiment) That is, the third embodiment of the multiple deck elevator of the present invention is shown in FIG.
2 and FIG. 9 will be described with reference to the confirmation data for presence / absence of passengers in the car, the explanatory views of the addition operation of the in-car load data and the in-car load data, and the flowcharts of FIGS. 10 and 11, respectively.

In this embodiment, the passenger 1Aa is attached to each of the upper basket 1A and the lower basket 1B stopped due to a failure.
And the passenger 1Ba is on board, and the rescuer 2Aa is in the upper basket 2.
Let's ride A.

First, the respective digital load signals from the respective load detectors 1Ab and 1Bb of the upper basket 1A and the lower basket 1B as shown in FIG. 9 (a) are supplied to the control device 11 via the signal cable 14, CPU via input means 11a
11b is transmitted.

As shown in FIG. 10, the CPU 11b detects the presence or absence of "1" data in each load signal shown in FIG. 9 (a), and determines the presence / absence of passengers in the car (step U1,
U2).

The CPU 11b determines whether "1" data is present and a load signal is present (step U3,
U4), "Signal" (YES), basket 1
When the presence of passengers is confirmed in A and the lower basket 1B, CP
U11b determines the upper basket 1A and the lower basket 1 from each load signal.
Kg conversion for determining the actual load of B is performed (steps U5 and U6). For the kg conversion for determining the actual load, as shown in FIG. 9B, the load conversion value (data) stored in the ROM 11g, for example, 1 bit is 1
Conversion is performed by taking in conversion data of 5 kg.

In the CPU 11b, the load value of the passenger 1Aa in the upper basket 1A after the converted load value is set to (X), and the lower basket 1
When the load value of the passenger 1Ba in B is (Y), FIG.
As shown in (c), the load values (X) and (Y) are added, and the addition result is calculated (Z) (step U7).

This addition result (Z) and the data that passengers 1Aa and 1Ba exist in the upper basket 1A and the lower basket 1B are transmitted to the control device 21 via the transmission line 3, and the control device 21 transmits the transmission means 21d. CPU receives data received via
21b (step U8).

Further, the car position detection signal from the stopped car position detecting device 12 on the elevator 1 side is transmitted to the CPU 21b (step U9), and as shown in FIG. 11, together with the car position detection signal, the addition result ( Z) and data that passengers 1Aa and 1Ba exist in the upper basket 1A and the lower basket 1B are stored in the RAM 21e (step U1).
0).

Then, the rescuer 2Aa gets into the upper basket 2A and turns on both the basket 1A rescue switch 2Ac11 and the basket 1B rescue switch 2Ac12 to rescue the passengers of both the upper basket 1A and the lower basket 1B. Control device 2
It is transmitted to the CPU 21b through the rescue signal inputting means 21f of No. 1 (step U11).

In the RAM 21e, the upper basket 1 which is stopped
Since the data that the passenger 1Aa is in A and the passenger 1Ba is in the lower basket 1B are stored in the memory, the data is stored in the CPU.
21b. The added load value (Z) of the stopped baskets 1A and 1B stored in the RAM 21e, and RO
The maximum load value of the upper basket 2A stored in M21g is read by the CPU 21b.

Here, the value of the added load value (Z) of the baskets 1A and 1B and the maximum load value of the upper basket 2A are calculated by the CPU.
21b are compared (step U12). This allows
In the present embodiment, when the maximum load value is larger than the additional load value (Z), the passenger 1Ba of the lower basket 1B
It is determined by the CPU 21b that the passenger in the upper basket 1A can be immediately rescued and accommodated after the rescue and accommodation of the passenger. If the maximum load value is smaller than the additional load value (Z), the passengers in the lower basket are rescued and accommodated, and then the passengers travel to the evacuation floor to unload the passengers and rescue the passengers in the upper basket again. Store and carry to the evacuation floor (step U13).

Therefore, in order to rescue the passenger 1Ba of the lower car 1B, the stopped car position pulse value stored in the RAM 21e of the control device 21 is taken into the CPU 21b. The CPU 21b subtracts the cage position pulse value sent from the cage position detecting device 22 via the pulse input means 21a from the stopped cage position pulse value. At this time, in order to rescue the passenger 1Ba of the lower basket 1B, the rescuer 2Aa rescues the passenger 1Aa of the upper basket 1A by driving and controlling the motor 23 until the subtraction result becomes 0. Therefore, a correction value for correcting the deviation of the pulse value when the lower basket 1A is rescued by the upper basket 2A stored in the ROM 21g in advance is loaded into the CPU 21b, and this correction value is subtracted from the basket 1A stop pulse value (step U1
4).

Next, the CPU 21b determines the CPU 21b of the control device 21 based on the corrected cage position pulse value after the correction.
The cage position pulse value sent from the cage position detecting device 22 via the pulse input means 21a is subtracted (step U15).

Next, the motor drive means 21i of the control device 21 drives and controls the motor 23 until the subtraction result becomes 0, and the double deck elevator 2 is moved up and down (step U16).

When the result of the calculation is 0, the position where the elevator 2 is stopped is the position where the lower basket 1B and the upper basket 2A coincide with each other.
a is opened to open the upper car rescue door 2Ad and the lower basket rescue door 1Bd to rescue the passenger 1Ba and the rescue switch 2A.
By turning off c11, the fact that the passenger rescue of the lower basket 1B is completed is transmitted to the CPU 21b of the control device 21 via the rescue SW signal input means 21f (step U17).

Next, the CPU 21b takes in a pulse value for moving the upper basket 2A stored in the ROM 21g from the position of the lower basket 1B to the position of the upper basket 1A.
The CPU 21b uses this pulse value and the car position detection device 2
2 is compared with the cage position pulse value sent from the pulse input means 21a. The comparison result is ROM 21g
Until the pulse values for moving from the lower basket 1B to the upper basket 1A, which are taken in more closely, match the motor driving means 21.
The motor 23 is drive-controlled by i, and the elevator 2 is moved (step U18).

When the traveling amount of the elevator 2 is detected (step U19), the traveling is continued up to a predetermined pulse amount (step U20), and when the traveling up to the predetermined pulse amount is completed (YES), the car 2A is operated. Since the stop position is almost the same as the upper basket 1A, rescuer 2A
A opens the passenger 1Aa and opens the upper car rescue doors 2Ad and 1Ad to rescue and store the passenger 1Aa. At that time, rescuer 2Aa
Turns off the rescue switch 2Ac12, and the passenger 1A
a, all passengers 1Ba are accommodated in the upper basket 2A, and the fact that the rescue is completed is transmitted to the CPU 21b via the rescue SW input means 21f of the control device 21 (step U21).

Then, the CPU 21b causes the elevator 2 to go straight to the evacuation floor, unloads passengers, and completes rescue (step U22).

As described above, in the third embodiment, it can be understood that all the persons can be accommodated in the rescue basket in advance. Therefore, after the passengers in one basket are rescued, after evacuating to the evacuation floor anyway, Next, it is possible to shorten the length of the conventional rescue time, in which the passengers in the other car are rescued and stored, and the rescue of each passenger in the upper car and the lower car can be completed efficiently and in a short time at one time.

Next, in a multiple deck elevator, a plurality of baskets are provided in a plurality of elevator cage frames.
They are isolated from each other. Therefore, especially when the elevator fails due to an accident or the like, the situation in other baskets cannot be understood, and there is a fear that the psychologically uneasy situation is amplified.

Therefore, in the next embodiment, it is intended to reduce the anxiety of passengers by displaying the rescue status of other baskets.

(Fourth Embodiment) A fourth embodiment of the double deck elevator according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to the process flow charts of FIGS. 2 and 12 and the display device of FIG. In the description, only the points that are particularly different from the third embodiment will be described, and detailed description of the same configuration and the same process flow as those of the third embodiment will be omitted.

That is, in the third embodiment, the rescuer 2Aa riding on the upper basket 2A rescues the passenger 1Ba of the lower basket 1B by opening the upper basket rescue door 2Ad and the lower basket rescue door 1Bd. However, here, the upper basket rescue door 2Ad is provided with the upper basket rescue door switch 2Ae,
The door opening / closing operation state is transmitted to the CPU 21b of the control device 21.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the rescuer 2Aa rescues the passenger 1Ba in the lower basket 1B, the upper car rescue door 2Ad of the upper basket 2A is first opened. As a result, a signal that the upper basket rescue door 2Ad has been opened is transmitted from the upper basket rescue door switch 2Ae to the CPU 21b of the control device 21 via the rescue door opening / closing confirmation signal input means 21j (step V1).

Next, the CPU 21b, which has received the signal that the upper car rescue door 2Ad has been opened, stores the ROM 2 in advance.
A signal for turning on the display device having the display content shown in FIG. 13 in the upper basket 1A stored in the memory 1g is transmitted to the control device 11 side via the transmission means 21d. The signal for turning on the light is transmission means 1
The data is transmitted from 1d to the CPU 11b (step V2).

Therefore, the CPU 11b uses the display lighting means 1
A lighting command is sent via 1k so that the display contents shown in FIG. 13 in the upper basket 1A are displayed on the display device (step V
3).

In this way, the means for transmitting the passenger rescue signal,
Since the passenger 1Aa of the upper basket 1A is provided with the means for receiving and displaying this signal, it is understood that the passenger 1Ba in the lower basket 1B is currently being rescued by turning on the display device shown in FIG. , It is possible to prevent anxiety and panic.

Further, in the multiple deck elevator, the large number of baskets in one basket frame further complicates the rescue operation. Moreover, since they are isolated from each other, the tension at the time of the accident may be a little uncool, and there is a risk of failing to confirm the basket to be rescued. The following embodiment intends to prevent it.

(Fifth Embodiment) A fifth embodiment of the multiple deck elevator according to the present invention is a flow chart of the processing in the control device of FIGS. 1, 2 and 14 and the display device of FIG. Will be described with reference to.

Detailed description of the same configuration and the same process flow as those of the third embodiment will be omitted.

That is, as shown in FIG. 14, by the detection signals of the load detectors 1Ab and 1Bb, a signal indicating that the passenger 1Aa is in the upper car 1A and the passenger 1Ba is in the lower car 1B is generated by the control device. It is transmitted from the CPU 11b of 11 to the CPU 21b via the transmission means 11d and the transmission means 21d (step W1).

Therefore, C, which has received the transmission signal indicating the presence of passengers,
The PU 21b sends a lighting command signal to display lighting means 21k.
Through the display, the display devices having the contents shown in FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b) installed in the upper car 2A and the lower car 2B are turned on to notify that there is a passenger in the car that has stopped due to failure. (Step W2).

As a result, the rescuer 2Aa rides on the upper basket 2A in the third embodiment. However, even when the rescuer 2Aa rides on the lower basket 2B and goes to the rescue, the passenger 1Aa is on both the upper basket 1A and the lower basket 1B. And it can be seen that there is a passenger 1Ba.

As described above, each car room is provided with the transmitting means for transmitting the passenger presence signal peculiar to each car and the receiving and displaying means for receiving the other passenger presence signals, which are displayed on the indicator lamp or the like. You can prevent forgetting to rescue them.

In the fourth and fifth embodiments, a similar effect can be obtained by providing a voice synthesizing device instead of each display device and providing information to passengers and rescue personnel by voice.

Furthermore, in the third embodiment, it has been explained that the load data from the load detecting means can be used to rescue the passengers in both the upper and lower baskets 1A and 1B at a time.・ The number of passengers in each bottom basket may be notified. Although the rescue-side elevator has been described as a double-deck elevator in each of the above-described embodiments, the elevator is not limited to a multi-deck elevator such as a double-deck elevator, but can be a general elevator having only one basket in its basket frame. Can also be applied.

[0091]

As described above, the multi-deck elevator according to the present invention is provided with the cage position detecting means, the load detecting means, etc., so that the presence or absence of the inside of the cage can be checked by using the communication device such as the intercom. It is possible to save the trouble of confirming and then rescue the passenger, and it is possible to rescue the passenger in the event of an accident efficiently and promptly, which is a great effect in practical use.
