DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in an elevator security device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a security device for an elevator,
2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a video camera for photographing the inside of a car of an elevator and a video tape for recording the content photographed by the video camera are provided, and the video tape is periodically replaced. The exchange cycle is generally three months. If there is a special request from the customer, it will be replaced at any time.

[0003]

In the above conventional example, even if the video camera or the video tape is not operating for some reason, it cannot be known until the video tape is replaced that the video camera or the video tape does not operate. Therefore, even if a crime has occurred in the elevator car, the crime has not been recorded on videotape.

An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator security device capable of solving the above-mentioned problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, an elevator 1 includes a hoistway 2
The car 4 is configured to move up and down in the interior by the main rope 3.

A video camera 5 is installed on the ceiling of the car 4. A video tape 6 for recording the content taken by the video camera 5 is installed on the car 4.

In a building such as a building in which the elevator 1 is installed, a monitoring device 7 is provided. Monitoring device 7
Monitors the operation of the video camera 5, the video tape 6, etc., and when the operation is abnormal, for example, when the video tape 6 is stopped while the video camera 5 is operating, Then, an abnormal signal is issued to the monitoring center 8 located at a remote place via the communication line 9.

When the passenger A gets into the car 4 from the landing 10, the movement of the passenger A is always recorded on the video tape 6. Therefore, when a criminal gets into the car 4 and commits a criminal act in the car 4, all of the acts are recorded on the videotape 6, which can be used as information for investigating a criminal. .

In the present embodiment, when an abnormal state such as a stoppage of the video tape 6 occurs, an abnormal signal is issued from the monitoring device 7 to the monitoring center 8. That the operation is abnormal,
You can contact Speedy. Therefore, the maintenance staff can immediately call the elevator having the video tape 6 that performs an abnormal operation and perform maintenance and inspection of the video tape 6, so that customer complaints can be reduced.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, when an abnormality such as an operation failure of a video tape occurs, the occurrence can be notified to a maintenance person, and maintenance and inspection of the video tape and the like can be performed quickly. An elevator security device has been provided which can prevent problems such as a crime not being recorded on videotape even though a crime has occurred in the car.
