Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lighting system for an entrance of an elevator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 shows an example of a configuration around an entrance and exit of an elevator. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a curtain plate forming the upper side of an entrance frame (called a three-sided frame), and reference numerals 2a and 2b denote vertical plates forming left and right sides of the three-sided frame. Hereinafter, in this specification, the three-sided frame refers to a combination of the above-mentioned 1, 2a, and 2b. 3
Reference numerals a and 3b denote landing doors, 4a and 4b glass windows, 5 a floor in front of the landing, 7 a landing lighting, 13 an arrival notice lamp, and 22 an arrival notice light controller. The glass windows 4a, 4b and the arrival warning light 13 may not be installed.

In FIG. 2, a hall lighting 7 has a role of illuminating the floor 5 in front of the hall to secure safety when getting on and off the elevator. When there are a plurality of elevators, the arrival notice lamp 13 has a role of notifying which elevator will arrive. That is, first, when the service allocation to the floor is determined, the arrival warning light 13
Lights up to inform the waiting passengers of the entrance / exit position of the expected arrival elevator. Next, while the elevator is arriving and getting on and off, the arrival notice lamp 13 flashes to notify the position of the elevator being on or off, or is turned off. Then, after the car departs after getting on and off, the arrival notice lamp 13 is turned off immediately.

As another example of means for irradiating the area around the entrance and exit of an elevator, a method of irradiating a curtain plate or a ceiling coated with a luminescent paint with a weak ultraviolet lamp to emit light (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
No. 191774), a method of providing illumination in a concave groove provided in a three-way frame (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-136892), and a method of displaying arrival notice information including the elevator service direction on a landing door with light ( There is a method of illuminating the foot of the landing only when the door is open (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-157149).

[0005]

By illuminating the floor 5 in front of the landing, the landing lighting 7 not only ensures safety when getting on and off the elevator, but also psychologically prevents criminal ambush near the landing at night. It also has the role of preventing. However, there is a case where the hall lighting 7 is not turned on in a shared house or the like in order to reduce the power consumption of the shared management part. In this case, it is easy to stumble on the elevator door sill when getting on and off, so that not only safety is impaired, but also ambush near the landing is easily induced. For this reason, it is desired to achieve both the demand for power saving and the crime prevention effect of brightening the landing against ambush crimes.

[0006] In order to solve this problem, the conventional arrival warning light is intended only to provide a warning effect, so that the light quantity is generally small and the effect of brightening the landing is small. In addition, the arrival notice lamp is turned off immediately after the elevator leaves after the end of getting on and off, so that there is no security effect after getting on and off. For example, if the light amount and the illumination range of the arrival warning light are widened to obtain a security effect, it is not clear which elevator is scheduled to arrive. It is also possible to turn on the light for a while after getting on and off the elevator and departure, but waiting customers who arrive at the landing later will mistakenly report that the elevator to be arrived, The inconvenience of standing in front of an existing landing and waiting for an elevator that has just departed and is not impressed for a while occurs.

[0007] In addition, other illumination methods also have poor light quantity and irradiation range because of their main purpose of replacing the arrival warning light, improving the design, and maintaining safety under the feet. Also, only when the door is opened or for a certain period of time before arrival. Only lights up and the security effect is small. For example,
A method of irradiating a curtain plate or ceiling coated with a luminescent paint with a weak ultraviolet lamp (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-191774), and a method of providing illumination in a concave groove provided in a three-way frame (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-136892) In the method of displaying the advance notice information including the elevator service direction on the landing door (JP-A-6-115864), since the main purpose is to create a unique design, the light amount and the irradiation range are poor. The timing of lighting is the same as that of the arrival warning light, and the security effect is small. A method of illuminating the foot of the landing only when the door is open (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-157149) is effective for ensuring the safety of the foot, but since it is illuminated only when the door is open, it is also required before and after getting on and off. Security effect cannot be expected.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, an illuminating means having a large amount of light and a wide irradiation range is provided at an entrance and exit of an elevator. A method is used in which the lighting means is turned on until a certain time after the car departs, and turned off at other times.

[0009] As the illumination means here, an illumination light integrated with the elevator three-way frame may be used, or an illumination light separately from the three-way frame is installed on the ceiling or wall of the hall, and the illumination light is provided. Only the power supply terminal to
The power supply to the power supply terminal may be turned on / off.

[0010] Further, a method may be used in which a waiting-means detecting means is provided, and a lighting means is turned on when a waiting-means is detected.

FIG. 3 shows a typical example of a circuit constituting the illumination control means 12. In FIG. 3, first, the circuit operation starts (STA
RT), the floor counter K is initialized to 1 in element 14. Next, it is determined in element 15 whether or not the lighting on the K-th floor is in the ON state (lighting state). If it is not ON, it is determined in element 16 whether or not the car is within m seconds before arrival at the same floor.
At 7, the lighting of the K-th floor is turned on (lit). By the way, when the lighting of the K-th floor is in the ON state (lighting state) in the element 15, it is determined in the element 18 whether or not the car has departed from the same floor for n seconds or more. If the time has elapsed, the lighting of the K-th floor is turned off (turned off) in element 19. After the above operation is completed, the floor counter K is incremented by one in element 20 and element
It is determined whether or not the value of K after the increase is larger than the total floor number Z. Finally, if K> Z, return to before element 14; if K ≦ Z, return to before element 15.

It is desirable that the time set values m and n in the circuit can be easily set / changed during maintenance work. For example, if the illumination control means 12 is realized by a microprocessor and software, the time setting values m and n should be changed by software, and if realized by an analog relay circuit, the time setting value m , N should be replaceable.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a power supply terminal 9 is provided on a three-way frame instead of the lighting means 6.
