Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an elevator system used by physically handicapped people, especially visually impaired people.

Conventional elevator systems have not been designed with any consideration given to the use of visually impaired people, which has the disadvantage that such people cannot use elevators without an attendant.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned inconvenience by guiding passengers in an elevator to a desired location in an elevator system using sound.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In Fig. 1, 1 is an elevator hall leading to the outside of the elevator installation part of the building, 2 is an elevator car, 3 is an entrance on the Hataba side, 3a is a door that opens and closes the Hataba side entrance 3, and 4 is an elevator car 2. 4a is a door for opening and closing the car side entrance 4, and 5 is a hoistway for the elevator car 2. 6 is a call button provided on the side wall 7 of the Hataba side entrance 3; 8 is a first sounding device installed near the call nail 6; 9
A photoelectric device is installed in the elevator car 2 and crosses the car-side entrance 4 at an appropriate height. A sound device, 12 is a control panel of the elevator car 2 provided on the side wall 13 of the car side entrance 4, 14 is a third sound device provided near the control panel 12, and 15 is a suitable distance from the Hataba side doorway 3. This is a detection device that is installed separately on the ceiling, floor, or side wall of the elevator hall and detects a person moving through the elevator hall toward the Hataba side entrance 3.

Further, in FIG. 2, 16 is a normally open contact of the detection device 15, 17 is a relay coil, 17a and 17b are normally open contacts of the relay coil 17, 18 is a normally open point of the call button 6, 19 is a relay coil, 19a and 19b are normally open contacts of the relay coil 19, 19c is a normally closed contact of the relay coil 19, normally open contacts of the arrival detection device (not shown) of the Futagawa elevator car 2, 21 is a relay coil, and 21a is a normally open contact of the relay coil 21. Normally open contact, 22 is a normally open contact of the optical haze device 9, 23 is a relay coil, 23a, 2
3b is a normally open contact of the relay coil 23, 23c is a normally closed contact, 24 is a normally open contact of the operation panel 12, 25 is a relay coil, 25a and 25b are normally open and normally closed contacts of the relay coil 25, and 8 , 10, and 14 are first, second, and third sounding devices.

In the elevator system configured as described above, when a visually impaired person enters the detection range of the detection device 15 while facing the elevator through the elevator hall, the normally open contact 16 closes. The relay coil 17 is excited, the normally open contacts 17a and 17b are closed, and the first sound generating device 8 generates sound. Therefore, it is possible to accurately guide a visually impaired person to the front of the call button 6 and to operate the call button 6. Next, when a visually impaired person operates the ring 6, the normally open contact 18
is closed, the relay coil 19 is energized, and the normally closed contact 19c
opens, the first sounding device 8 stops producing sound, and at the same time the elevator car 2 is called (not shown).

Furthermore, the normally open contacts 19a and 19b close at the same time. When the elevator car 2 arrives, the normally open contact 20 closes and the relay coil 21 is energized, the normally open node 21a closes, and the second
The sound generating device 10 generates sound. Therefore, it is possible to safely lead a visually impaired person into the elevator car 2 by directing the visually impaired person to the central part of the millyard side entrance 3 and the car side entrance 4, where the doors 3a and 4a are already open. When a visually impaired person enters the elevator car 2, the photoelectric device 9 is activated, the normally open contact 22 is closed, the relay coil 23 is energized, the normally closed contact 23c is opened, and the second sound generating device 10 is activated. The pronunciation of is stopped.

At the same time, the normal support points 23a and 23b close, so that the third sound generating device 14 starts producing sound. Therefore, the visually impaired person can be guided accurately to the front of the operation panel 12 and can operate the operation panel 12. When a visually impaired person operates the operation panel 12, the normally open contact 24 closes, the relay coil 25 is energized, and the normally closed contact 25b opens, stopping the third sound generating device 14 from producing sound.

At the same time, the doors 3a of the Hataba side and car side entrances 3 and 4,
4a is issued, and as soon as these are closed, the elevator car 2 starts moving up and down. FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, and the same parts in FIG. 3 as in FIG. The attached explanation will be omitted.

L 31 in FIG. 3 is the fourth sounding device, and a plurality of sounding devices are arranged on a straight line connecting the detection device 15 on the ceiling or floor of the elevator hall and the call button 6, and the device is called out from the detection device 15 side. The pitch or timbre of the sound changes sequentially as it approaches the 6 side, giving it more directionality, and the sound from the fourth sounding device 31 guides visually impaired people to the front of the peg 6. This makes it easier and more accurate. In addition, in this invention, a call button and operation panel for general passengers are provided separately, and the call button 06 and operation panel 12 are limited to those for use by visually impaired people to operate each sounding device. In this way, unnecessary pronunciation can be prevented when general passengers use the elevator. Furthermore, if the second sounding device 10 is activated when the elevator car arrives at the destination floor by operating a button dedicated to the visually impaired, it will provide greater safety for passengers getting off the train. can be ensured.

Furthermore, if the normally open contact 16 of the detection device 15 is a normally open contact with a time limit, if the call button 6 is not operated within a certain time period, that is, if the passenger once enters the detection range of the detection device 15 but returns for some reason. It is possible to prevent unnecessary continuous operation of the first sounding device 8 in the case where the trigger 06 is not operated.

As explained above, the elevator device of the present invention detects a visually impaired person facing the elevator, and uses this detection operation to operate the sounding device to guide the visually impaired person to the target position. It has the effect of being able to guide free people accurately and safely, and making it possible to use the authority.
