Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Description of the Technical Field] The present invention relates to a notification device for an elevator for disabled persons.

[Description of prior art]

In recent years, with the development of welfare administration, elevators for the disabled equipped with hall call and call registration devices for the disabled have been increasingly installed in buildings in public places (for example, city halls, two prefectural offices, etc.) . In elevators for people with disabilities, a hall call and car call registration device for people with disabilities is usually arranged separately from a normal hall call and car call registration device, and is input to the elevator control device through a separate system. In addition, the call button for the handicapped is placed at a lower position than the normal call button, taking into consideration the height of the wheelchair, and floor markings in Braille are installed to accommodate the use of people with visual impairments. Often attached.

However, when a visually impaired person uses an elevator,
Even if the elevator arrives and the door opens after confirming the hall call button for the disabled and registering the hall call using Braille, the visually impaired person will not be able to see the elevator when the elevator arrives.
I don't know if the elevator is going to the floor I'm trying to go to or the opposite direction. In addition, I had to ride the elevator with a sense of anxiety because I didn't know if there were other passengers in the elevator car or not. Furthermore, when the passengers in the car arrive at a certain floor, they cannot tell whether a visually impaired person in the hall is trying to get on this elevator or an elevator going in the opposite direction. in this case,
Inconveniences such as standing by without helping a visually impaired person get into the elevator, or conversely attempting to let the visually impaired person into the elevator even though the person was waiting in the opposite direction. was occurring.

Furthermore, when a person in a wheelchair tries to get on an elevator by calling the hall for the disabled, even if the elevator car is relatively crowded when the person arrives, the wheelchair cannot be accommodated. If this is not done promptly, the person in the wheelchair may not be able to come.
There was also the inconvenience of having to wait for the next elevator.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a notification device for a handicapped elevator that can confirm the presence or absence of passengers in a car in response to a hall call for handicapped persons.

[Summary of the invention]

If a hall call for people with disabilities is registered, the elevator responds, and the door is fully opened after arrival, if there are any passengers in the car, the elevator will notify the passengers in the car by voice, etc. that a person with a disability will be boarding the car. If there are no passengers in the car, the disabled person is notified by voice etc. that there are no passengers in the car.

[Embodiments of the invention]

The present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an elevator installation according to the invention. In FIG. 1, numeral 1 indicates one of the hall call buttons for people with disabilities installed on each floor, and it is assumed that there are actually as many hall call buttons as there are floors. 2 is an elevator car, 3 is a call operation panel inside the car, 4 is a call button installed on the surface of the car, and 5 is a speaker for making an announcement to passengers in the car and in the hall when the door is opened. . 6
is a microcomputer in the elevator lli control system, 7 is an input register for the handicap hall call button 1, 8 is an input register for the car call button 4, and 9 is a voice synthesis circuit. Output register for 1o.

FIG. 2 shows a door fully open detection circuit, in which 11 is the a contact point of the door cam switch that is turned on when the door is fully opened, and the signal is inputted to the microcomputer 6 in the elevator PAL device 141 through the input register 12.

FIG. 3 shows the bit structure in which the hall call for handicapped persons and door fully open signal shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are input into the microcomputer. Note that in FIGS. 1 and 3, for the sake of simplicity, calls for the handicapped person and normal hall calls are omitted.

Now, considering an elevator with service floor 8#i,
The call from the bottom to the 8th floor is from bit <0> to bit <7> as shown in Figure 3 181, and from Mijima Meigetsu UP.
Hall calls s1u-s7v and DN hall calls 2D-8D for Kikishima people correspond to bits <0>-<6> and bits <1>-<7> as shown in Figure 3 (bJ, (c)). and input in bit units.

Each bit is the state in which the fulfillment is registered when l, 0
This indicates a state in which the 0:00 call is not registered.

Further, the door fully open signal DO8 is input corresponding to bit <0> as shown in FIG. 3(d), and when it is l, the door is fully open, and when it is 0, the door is not fully open. shall indicate the condition.

In the elevator constructed as described above, an example of a 70-tayat according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 4-5. FIG. 4 shows a schematic flowchart of the entire elevator control.

When you start, the RAM (andom Ac
An initialization routine such as initial clearing of each glaze data in cessMemory and initial setting of each glaze 7 lug and table is executed, and the process moves to an elevator delay processing routine. In this routine, a normal hall call, a car call, a hall call for Nazuki, and a car call are input, and if Kanohi is registered, a direction is selected for that call, and a deceleration command is issued after running. Detect the point and slow down,
It is assumed that all processes related to normal elevator operation, such as opening the door after landing on the floor, are executed.

Here, when the disabled hall call button 1 and the car call button 4 shown in FIG. 1 are pressed, they are input into the microcomputer 6 through the input register 7.8, and The beep corresponding to the corresponding call is stored in the microcomputer 6.The microcomputer 6 sequentially scans these bits to determine which floor has a hall call or a car call. When the user responds to the call and arrives at that floor, the call is erased by setting the corresponding bit of cl to 0 (see FIG. 3).

Next, the process moves to point B in FIG. 4, and the operation of the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 is executed. First, it is determined whether the user has arrived at the registered address for the hall for the disabled. in this case,
Arrival includes the fact that the car is on the floor, and after confirming the registration of the hall call, erasing the hall call and outputting a door opening command. If it has arrived, it will proceed to point 6, and if it has not arrived, it will go to point G without even asking. At point 6, it is determined whether the door is fully open, and if it is fully open, proceed to point D, otherwise proceed to point G. If the door is fully open at this point, the second
Contact 11 of the door cam switch shown in the figure is ON L, Figure 3 (
Since the I)08 signal in d) is 1, the microcomputer can easily know that the door is fully open. Also, if the DO8 signal in Figure 3(d) changes from 0 to 1, it is detected as the "door fully open" state, then point D will be reached once at the moment the door is fully opened. This prevents the car from reaching point D every cycle while the door is fully open after the car arrives.

Next, at point D, the microcomputer determines whether there is a car call registration or not based on the car call registration status in Figure 3 (al).
Go to point. Here, the fact that the car call is registered means that
This indicates that there are passengers in the car, and the fact that a car call is not registered indicates that there is no one in the car.

In addition, when only the call call on the same floor as the hall call for the disabled is registered, when the door is fully opened, the corresponding bit indicating the call call registration status in Figure 3 is not erased and remains 1. This indicates that there are passengers in the car.

As can be seen from the above explanation, point E is reached when the car is called at the moment when the elevator door is fully opened after the elevator calls the hall for the disabled, that is, when there is a passenger in the car.
This is done only once, and a code corresponding to the content to be announced from the output register 9 in FIG. 1 is output to the voice synthesis circuit 10 for the passengers in the car. The speech synthesis circuit 10 determines the code and, for example, says, ``A person with a disability is coming to see you.''

We appreciate your cooperation. ”, etc.

In addition, the elevator only comes to point F once when the elevator responds to a hall call for the disabled at the moment when the faulty door is fully closed, when there is no car call, that is, when there are no passengers in the car circle. Then, a code corresponding to the content to be announced is output from the output register 9 in FIG. 1 to the speech synthesis circuit 10. The speech synthesis circuit 10 identifies the code and makes an announcement such as "There is no one in the elevator. Please come with caution."

[The moving bed of invention]

According to the present invention, when a handicapped person such as a visually impaired person or a person in a wheelchair uses an elevator, a hall call for the handicapped person is registered, and after the elevator arrives and the door is fully opened, the voice and the visual display can be heard. Inform the passengers in the car that a disabled person is boarding the car using a method that can be confirmed even by disabled people, and ask for their cooperation. Alternatively, by notifying the disabled person that no one is in the car, the anxiety and hesitation of both the disabled person and the passengers in the car can be eliminated. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a notification device for an elevator for a handicapped person that can reduce the loss time when a handicapped person enters the elevator, improve service, and ensure smooth progress of the elevator.
