Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a device for notifying an elevator hall.

In recent years, there has been a strong demand not only for more efficient elevator operation, but also for improved quality of service to passengers. In contrast, recently there has been a strong emphasis on enhancing the communication between elevators and passengers, such as by displaying service carts in front of them to guide passengers waiting at the platform, and to improve psychological services for passengers (alleviating feelings of irritation, etc.). desired.

Conventionally, during busy times such as when people go to work in the morning and when they leave work in the evening, the cars are full, so not all the customers waiting at the landing are able to board the car. This gives a very unpleasant feeling to the waiting passengers who were unable to board the train.
As a countermeasure, it has been considered to automatically register a hall call when there is a waiting passenger who has missed the boarding, but this is not sufficient to alleviate the discomfort of the waiting passengers who have missed the boarding.

This invention is intended to improve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide an elevator landing notification device that alleviates the discomfort of waiting passengers who have missed boarding because the car is full.

An embodiment in which this invention is applied to a landing on the first floor will be described below with reference to FIG.

In the diagram, 1 is a car position signal that becomes "H" when the car is on the first floor, 2 is a full signal that becomes "H" when the car reaches 80% of its capacity, and 3 is a car door that closes when it starts to close. The door closing operation signal remains "H" until completion. 4 uses an industrial television system to perform image processing to detect whether there are passengers waiting on the first floor landing, and outputs if there are passengers waiting. 5 is a display determination device;
AND gates, 7 and 8 are NOT gates, 9 is an OR gate, 10 is a memory element consisting of an R-S flip-flop, and 11 is installed in the landing on the first floor, and when the input changes from "L" to "H", it reads a predetermined content. Even if the input becomes "L" during broadcast after synthesizing it with audio, it will not be 1.
It is an annunciator consisting of a device that continues to broadcast only the broadcast. It should be noted that this alarm 11 is known to be constructed at a lower cost than a conventional broadcasting device using a recording tape.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When the car arrives at the first floor, the car position signal 1 becomes "H", and when the car is filled with waiting passengers, the full car signal 2 also becomes "H". When the car door starts to close, the door closing operation signal 3 also becomes "H". At this time, if there is a waiting passenger who has missed the car, the output of the hall waiting passenger detection device 4 becomes "H" and the output of the AND gate 6 becomes "H". On the other hand, since the output of NOT gate 8 is "L", memory element 10 is set and its output becomes "H". Now, alarm 1
1, for example, broadcasts, "We apologize for the congestion. Please press the platform button and wait." This audio broadcast helps to create a humanistic sense of communication with the waiting customers and ease their discomfort. When the car leaves the first floor, the car position signal 1 becomes "L", the output of NOT gate 7 becomes "H", and the output of OR gate 9 also becomes "H".
Therefore, the memory device 10 is reset and the alarm 11 stops its operation. If a broadcast is in progress, the broadcast continues until the broadcast ends, and then the operation is stopped.

Furthermore, if all the waiting passengers can board the car, the output of the hall waiting passenger detection device 4 will be "L", so NOT
The output of the gate 8 becomes "H", the output of the OR gate 9 also becomes "H", and the alarm 11 stops its operation as described above.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of this invention, which uses a text visual indicator 11A, which can also be put to practical use. Note that this can also be applied when two or more cars are installed. In this case, for example, a guidance notification such as "Please wait in front of car No. 3" may be added.

Further, the detection of waiting passengers who missed the boarding because it was full is not necessarily limited to the embodiment. For example, a device may be provided to detect that a landing button is pressed when a car is full, or that a landing call is registered just before departure when the car is full, and this may be used as the waiting passenger detection device 4. .

Further, the content of the notification is not limited to the example, and may be any content as long as it alleviates the discomfort of waiting customers.

As explained above, in this invention, when it is detected that the car has a load exceeding a predetermined value and there is a passenger waiting at the landing while the car door is closing, a corresponding guidance will be notified to the landing. As a result, it is possible to foster human communication, detect waiting customers who have missed the car at the optimal time, and alleviate their discomfort.
