Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The invention relates to an elevator display device provided in an elevator landing on each floor.

[Technology of the Invention t9 Sweet Hatsatsushakasa] As shown in FIG. 1, display devices generally installed in elevator landings include a floor display section 1, an up/down direction display section 2, and a full/up/down direction display section 2. In addition to the above-mentioned hall indicator, there is a so-called hall indicator that has a guide display section 3 for passing etc., and when multiple elevators are installed, it also provides advance notice of which elevator is coming. There are warning lights, arrival lights (hall lanterns), chimes, etc. that notify passengers of the elevator's arrival, and these are designed to notify passengers waiting at the elevator hall of the operating status of the elevator. .

Incidentally, the operation of the elevator is normally controlled by a control command as shown in the block diagram 70-chart of FIG.

When the load detector 4 in the corner detects a load of 80 inches or more with respect to the allowable capacity in the car as shown in control system A, the detection signal sends a control command 6 through the machine room control circuit 5. As a result, the "Full" display on the above-mentioned display device was lit, and the driver did not answer the call from the hall pushbutton, and due to the operation of the elevator drive device 2, the passenger passed through the elevator without stopping at the floor and reached the floor designated by the passenger in the car. Go straight. Also, control system B
As shown in FIG.
Otherwise, the car's entrance/exit door is left open without being closed, and the alarm buzzer inside the car is sounded to notify that the car is over capacity, and the operation by the drive device 7 remains stopped until several passengers get off and the number of passengers falls below the capacity. .

By the way, in the above-mentioned elevator, for example, if the hall pusher presses the button on the middle floor and multiple customers are waiting, the elevator that is already 80% or more full will display a full sign and pass. However, if an elevator is occupied by less than 97% of the passengers, it will stop at a floor halfway through the elevator when it receives a call, and the waiting customers will concentrate in front of the elevator and try to board. However, when the door opens and you look inside the car, there are a lot of passengers, and there are many people who can get on board, so there are often some leftovers. I moved to the front of the elevator and waited, but there I encountered the same situation as last time, which made me even more irritated. This kind of thing is often seen at Destinations, etc., and causes irritation and anxiety among waiting passengers, leads to crowding at the boarding points, and has the problem of giving rise to a bad reputation for poor service.

Therefore, efforts are being made to shorten the waiting time for customers as much as possible by increasing the speed of elevators, increasing the efficiency of operation, or increasing the number of elevators, but there may be limits to this. The problem was that increasing the size and increasing the number of machines required considerable equipment costs, which could not be easily resolved.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and it does not make waiting passengers feel irritated or anxious, and it also eliminates confusion about which elevator to take, which leads to crowding caused by people scrambling to be the first to get on the platform. To provide an elevator display device that enables a service that allows the elevator to be used with peace of mind without any problems.

[Summary of the invention]

The cause of the conventional psychological problems such as irritation and anxiety due to unloading of waiting passengers and crowding at the landing is due to the crowding inside the arriving elevator car, that is, the congestion inside the elevator car. This is because it is completely unclear how many passengers are already there and how many more of them will be able to board, and especially when there are multiple elevators installed side by side, it is impossible to predict which elevator to use, so it is difficult to predict which elevator to use. Frustration and confusion arise from scurrying back and forth trying to get on the elevator.

Therefore, in this invention, it is possible to know in advance how crowded the elevator car is when waiting passengers arrive at the landing, and how many more people can fit in the elevator car. By displaying the number of people who can fit on the train, it is possible for waiting passengers to avoid being disappointed or frustrated.

[Summary of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. Components in the figure having the same configuration as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are given the same reference numerals to simplify the explanation.

However, the elevator display device shown in FIG.
The structure is called a hall indicator, which is installed in the doorway frame between the elevator platform and the evening entrance, and is arranged on a single panel left and right to display the operation of the two elevators on the left and right. Each floor display section 1 is the same as the conventional one.
A vertical driving direction display section 2 is provided, and a number of passengers display section 8 is provided for displaying the number of passengers who can board in place of conventional guidance displays such as fullness and passing.

This number of people display section 8 is 1. For example, there are display characters 9, such as "Available Number", which are carved directly on the panel, and a digital display 10 which displays, in digital segments, the number of people who can board each of the left and right elevators.
As shown in FIG. 4, each digital display 10 receives a detection signal from each elevator car load detector 4 as an input signal through a digital display selection circuit 1.
Therefore, the configuration is such that the weight of the car is converted, that is, the number of people that can fit into the car based on the capacity is calculated, and the number of people is displayed digitally.

Therefore, with the above-mentioned elevator display device, the operation status and usage status of the left and right elevators installed side by side, in other words, the number of people who can use the elevators on each floor based on the crowding of passengers, can be known in advance at the landing of each floor. Changes due to increases and decreases in the number of passengers on a floor are known from moment to moment, so waiting passengers can predict which elevator they will be able to use or not, so they can wait at the platform with peace of mind without getting irritated or confused, and when they arrive, it will be crowded. You will be able to board the elevator in an orderly manner, and even if you are left behind, you will be able to wait comfortably for the next elevator without being disappointed because it was predicted in advance. This makes it possible to easily resolve customer psychological problems and bad reviews regarding services.

In addition, by adopting a digital display for the number of people display section 8, the elevator display device of the present invention has a sense of movement and matches modern sensibilities, and improves the design of the hall and the service of waiting customers. As shown in the figure, it may be configured in relation to a control command control system for elevator operation. That is, it has a control system A when the car load is 80% or more and a control system B when the car load is 110 inches or more, similar to the conventional control system shown in FIG. 2, and a control system when the car load is 97 inches or less. System C is added, and when the load is 80% or more and 110- or more, the same control command as before is issued, but when the load is less than 97%, the available number of people who can board the vehicle is determined via the machine room control circuit 5 from the load detection signal. The configuration is such that the calculation is performed and the number of people is displayed on the aforementioned number of people display section 8 according to the control command 6.

Furthermore, in addition to the elevator display device of the present invention that displays the operating status of both the left and right elevators as shown in FIG. 3, it is also possible to use one that is used individually for each elevator as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the number of people display section 8 may be configured separately from the floor display section 1, driving direction display section 2, etc., and provided independently at an appropriate location in the hall.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a number display section 8A common to each elevator may be provided at the center of the upper panel of the hall entrance/exit of a plurality of elevators. In this case, up and down arrival warning lights 12, 13 and arrival indicator lights (hall lanterns) 14 are provided for each elevator, and the warning lights 12 and 13 are provided respectively.
In addition, the display section 8A displays the number of people who can use the elevator with the indicator light 13 or the indicator light 14 lit, depending on how crowded the elevator is. In addition, 15 in the figure is a hall press button for calling the elevator.

Furthermore, if the aforementioned number of people display section 8 is provided inside the elevator car, it is possible to display service information for elevator functions such as how many more passengers can board the passenger who are already on board, and also to display the number of passengers who are already on board. If the information is displayed, it will not only sound like a warning buzzer, but also tell passengers how many people should get off the train, which will help prevent trouble between fellow passengers.

[Effects of the invention] Since it is possible to notify in advance how many people can board the elevator, waiting passengers can check the availability of the elevators they can board, so they can wait at the platform with peace of mind without getting irritated or confused, and without being crowded upon arrival. You will now be able to get on the elevator in an orderly manner, and even if you cannot get on the elevator, you will be able to wait for the next elevator without worrying.This will easily eliminate psychological problems among customers and bad reviews regarding the service. It becomes an elevator display device.
