DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of an elevator apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an elevator apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining an operation. The present invention relates to an elevator apparatus, and FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a hall call registration button and an operation panel in a car. 1 and 2, 1, 2, 3
Is a call registration button provided at the first floor, second floor, n floor,
Reference numeral 4 denotes a car, 5 denotes an operation panel provided in the car, and 6 denotes an emergency contact alarm button provided in the operation panel.

As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with only an emergency external communication alarm button 6 which is not used in a normal driving operation in a car 4 and operates the elevator. For this purpose, only one of the call registration buttons 1, 2, and 3 is provided at each of the landings on the first, second, and nth floors.

Although not shown, the elevator device takes in signals from the call registration buttons 1, 2, and 3 and generates an emergency alert button 6 in the car.
Elevator control device consisting of microcomputers that take in signals from the system to control the operation of the car and perform processing such as making an emergency call to the outside, and a mechanism to drive the car according to instructions from the control device It goes without saying that is provided. Next, the operation of the elevator will be described with reference to the flow shown in FIG. 2 as an example of the case where the user moves from the first floor to the nth floor.

(1) When the user presses the call registration button 1 installed at the landing on the first floor, which is the only operation when using the elevator, on the destination floor n times, the call registration button is pressed n times. A lamp (not shown) provided inside or adjacent to the button 1 is turned on to notify the user that the call has been registered (steps 201 and 202). (2) Check whether the elevator car 4 is on the floor where the call registration button is pressed, in this example, the first floor, and if the car 4 is on the first floor, turn on by operating the call registration button 1 The lamp is turned off and the door is opened immediately. If the elevator car 4 is located on a floor other than the first floor, the car 4 is driven to the first floor, and upon arrival, the lamp lit by the operation of the call registration button 1 is turned off and the door is opened (step 203). To 206).

(3) When the door is opened, the door is automatically closed after a predetermined time has elapsed, so that the user gets on the car 4 during that time. Then, the door is closed and the car 4 starts operating toward the n-th floor (steps 207 and 208).

(4) When the elevator car 4 is driven toward the n-th floor and arrives at the n-th floor, the door is automatically opened, and the user gets off (steps 209 to 211).

(5) When a predetermined time elapses after the user gets off the vehicle, the door is automatically closed, and a series of operations of the elevator ends. The car 4 waits for the next call (steps 212 and 213).

As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the user operates only one button provided at the landing and operates all the buttons in the car 4. There is no need to use the elevator. For this reason, the embodiment of the present invention can be configured without providing any other operation buttons required during normal operation.

According to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the call registration button (1 or 2) provided at each landing is provided.
Or just operate 3), and the elevator car 4
Can be automatically performed.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a control device constituted by a microcomputer or the like not shown in FIG. 1 has a function of setting a door opening time, and by changing this setting, In the series of car driving described above,
The opening time of the door can be adjusted according to the user's boarding and dismounting conditions, and the convenience of the elevator device can be improved.

In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, an emergency alert button 6 is provided in a driving operation panel 5 in a car 4 so that a user can be in an emergency. By operating this button 6, it is possible to communicate with the outside, and it is possible to ensure safety such as rescue in an emergency.

Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the destination floor registration button in the car can be eliminated, so that the number of tail cord cores and the number of signal input circuits can be reduced, and the control device can be reduced. Can be simplified, and a low-cost elevator device can be provided.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention, a call registration button 1
It is possible to provide only a single car and eliminate the need to provide any driving operation buttons in the car. Thus, the user can automatically operate the elevator simply by operating the call registration button provided at the landing, and even a physically handicapped or elderly person can easily operate the elevator.
