Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an elevator that can set non-stop floors of the elevator optionally from a monitor, a car and a floor display device and display the non-stop floors automatically and clearly. SOLUTION: Only at the time of setting non-stop floors into communication data exchanged among an elevator monitor 1, an elevator control device 3 and a floor display device 9, non-stop floor data is transmitted from the setting device to the other devices. On the basis of this information, each device automatically displays 'Not Stopping', 'Passing', or the like on a non-stop floor display part at all times by illumination of a red LED, for instance, until non- stop setting is released. The position of a car 8 is displayed by illumination of a green LED, for instance, as in a conventional way. This constitution can save time for sticking and taking off seals showing 'Not Stopping', 'Passing', or the like every time non-stop floors are set or changed. Non-stop floors are clearly indicated and discriminated from 'Passing No Vacancy' like so as to reduce passengers' discontent.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an elevator system, and more particularly to an elevator system in which a non-stop floor is arbitrarily set, a car is set on the set non-stop floor, each floor display device,
It relates to means for automatically and clearly displaying on an elevator monitoring device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional elevator monitoring apparatus installed in a manager's office or the like of a building, an LED or a lamp is lit to display the position of a car and the operating state of the entire elevator on a monitoring panel. In this display system, there is basically no distinction between a service floor and a non-stop floor, and whether or not the vehicle is traveling, and a simple display by turning on / off a one-color display element is adopted, and color classification and flickering are performed. There was no distinction depending on the lighting mode.

[0003]

In the conventional elevator monitoring device, the position of the car, the state of the safety device, and the like are displayed. However, even if a certain floor is set as a non-stop floor, the elevator is not running. Since the floor display was still lit on the monitoring panel, it could not be confirmed from the floor display that the nonstop floor was set. Further, even when the car exists on a specific floor such as a parking floor under a predetermined condition, the display does not change and the state cannot be grasped.

Further, every time a non-stop floor is set or changed, it is troublesome to put or remove a sticker such as "not stop" or "pass" on each floor of the car.

[0005] On the other hand, passengers who are waiting by pressing the call button on each floor cannot distinguish between "always passed" and "full occupancy" if the sticker is forgotten or the change is delayed. There was a risk of dissatisfaction with the service.

[0006] To solve these problems, for example, 8
In the case where the car position data which can be sufficiently represented by the data frame of bits is always doubled and the non-stop floor data is communicated as the data frame of 16 bits, the communication amount between the elevator control device and the elevator monitoring device is used. Increases even in the normal state, and the processing load on the microcomputer in the elevator monitoring device increases. Also, in buildings where the number of non-stop floors is not set, it is not always necessary to communicate non-stop floor data.

An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator system in which a nonstop floor of an elevator can be arbitrarily set from an elevator monitoring device, a car, and a floor display device, and the set nonstop floor is automatically and clearly displayed. It is to be.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an elevator control device for directly controlling a car and a car driving system having a destination button and operation status display means, and a call button. And an floor monitoring device having operation status display means, and an elevator monitoring device having operation status display means for monitoring and controlling the whole, in an elevator system for operating a car based on car position data, a non-stop floor Means for forming a data frame of non-stop floor data different from the data frame of the car position data at the time of setting and transmitting the data frame to another device is provided in at least one of the car, the elevator control device, each floor display device, and the elevator monitoring device. A means for displaying the non-stop floor based on the non-stop floor data is provided in the car, each floor display device, and the elevator monitoring device. And it is intended to propose an elevator system.

The means for displaying the non-stop floor may be arranged as a separate row adjacent to the row of the operation status display means, or may be arranged so as to overlap the operation status display means.

In any case, the display mode of the specific floor such as the parking floor in the operation status display means is changed so as to be distinguishable from other display modes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of an elevator system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a system configuration of an embodiment of an elevator system according to the present invention. The elevator monitoring device 1 is installed, for example, in a manager's room on the first floor of a building, and has a monitoring panel 2 shown in FIG. 3 in detail. The elevator control device 3 is located in a machine room such as a roof of a building (not shown), and directly controls the electric motor 5 to drive a counterweight 7 and a car 8 suspended at both ends of a rope hung on a pulley 6. And a car 8 is provided on each floor. The car 8 has at least a destination button and operation status display means. Each floor display device 9 includes at least a call button for the car 8 and operation status display means. The elevator monitoring device 1, the elevator control device 3, the car 8 and each floor display device 9 are connected by a communication path 4 such as a communication cable, and exchange car position data, various control data, status signals, and the like. I have.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the bit configuration of the car position data and the non-stop floor data characteristic of the present invention.
FIG. 2A shows a data frame in the conventional system for communicating only the car position data, and FIG. 2B shows the data frame of the car position data in the present invention and is generated only when necessary. The data frame of the non-stop floor data is also shown.

In this embodiment, only when necessary, a data frame of the non-stop floor data shown in FIG. 2B is generated together with a non-stop floor setting / non-stop floor release command signal (not shown) and communicates with each other. Therefore, any of the 256 floors can be set as the non-stop floor or the setting of the non-stop floor can be canceled.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a comparison between a conventional display and a display of the present invention on a monitor panel of an elevator monitor. In the monitoring panel 2 of FIG.
No. 3 adopts the conventional display method, and the right half 3
Unit 4 employs the display method according to the present invention. The monitoring panel 2 has a floor display LED 21 and a key switch 22 for switching between various operations and setting or canceling a parking floor or a non-stop floor.

Here, the difference between the conventional display and the display of the present invention when the third floor to the fifth floor are continuously set as the non-stop floor will be described. In the case of the first conventional unit, three cars 8
If the fifth floor or the third floor is set as the non-stop floor when there is a floor, there is no change in the display, so it cannot be confirmed whether or not the non-stop floor is set to be valid. In the case of the first conventional unit, at each floor where the car 8 is descending from the seventh floor to the first floor,
Floor display LED2 including the 5th to 3rd floor which is a non-stop floor
1 are turned on and off one after another, and it cannot be distinguished whether the non-stop floor is set to be valid or passed, for example, when it is full.

On the other hand, in the case of the No. 3 car of the present invention, the first display color, for example, a green LED is lit one after another on each floor where the car 8 is descending from the seventh floor to the first floor. Since the lights are turned off, the current position of the car 8 can be clearly understood. In the meantime, the fifth floor to the third floor, which are nonstop floors, are always nonstop floors where the car 8 does not come to service because the second display color, for example, the red LED is always lit. It is clear. When the car 8 is on the third floor as in the case of the conventional first car, if the fifth floor to the third floor are set to the non-stop floor, in the case of the fourth car of the present invention, for example, the red LED which is the second display color is , Always on the 5th to 3rd floor. Then, the fourth car leaves the third floor, which is a non-stop floor, moves to the first floor designated as a parking floor, and waits for a call from a passenger.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the display inside the car and each floor display of the elevator system according to the present invention. FIG. 4 (A) shows an example of an in-car display according to the present invention in which the non-stop floor display is separated from the conventional operation status display. In this case, the current position of the seventh floor is indicated by the flicker display of the green LED, the destination direction and the first and second floors of the destination floor are constantly indicated by the green LED, and the non-stop floor is indicated by the green LED. The 5th to 3rd floors are indicated by a red LED constantly displayed. FIG. 4 (B) shows an example of each floor display according to the present invention in which the non-stop floor display is grouped in the same window as the operation status display, similarly to the display of FIG. In this example,
When the two-color LED is used, the car 8 is on the fifth floor to
As you pass through the floor, you will see a mixture of green and red. The fact that the vehicle is on a specific floor such as the parking floor is displayed by changing the flicker speed or the like.

The display method shown in FIG. 4B may be adopted for the display inside the car 8. The display method shown in FIG. 4A is used for the display on the monitoring panel 2 and the display on each floor display device 9. May be adopted. Further, for each display, it is possible to use an LCD panel or a multi-segment LED character display panel instead of individual LED elements.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2B, only when necessary, data frames of non-stop floor data are generated and communicate with each other. The load on the CPU of each device hardly increases as compared with the conventional example of FIG.

[0021]

According to the present invention, a device that is set / released only when setting / releasing a non-stop floor in communication data exchanged between an elevator monitoring device, an elevator control device, and a floor display device. Since the data frame of the nonstop floor data is generated and transmitted to the other device from, the data transmission amount in the normal state is not increased, and it is possible to clearly recognize that the nonstop floor has been set / released. In addition, every time a nonstop floor is set or changed, the labor of sticking or peeling off a sticker such as "not stopping" or "passing" between the car and each floor can be omitted. Passengers who are waiting for the call button on each floor are marked as "non-stop floors"
Can be distinguished from "set to full" or "full passage", reducing dissatisfaction.
