Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is used by being connected to an elevator control device using a microcomputer, and is operated manually by a worker during elevator maintenance and adjustment. The present invention relates to an elevator operating device that issues an elevator call generation command and the like.

(Prior art) In recent years, control devices that control various operations of elevators include:
Due to the application of microcomputers and the conversion of various functions into software, the control content tends to be more complex than that of conventional relay sets.

Therefore, when adjusting or maintaining an elevator, in order to simplify the operation, issue commands, and prevent operational errors, the operator can manually operate the elevator to give control instructions, call registration, etc. to the elevator. Operating devices are used.

One of the important functions of this operating device is the registration and deletion of calls.

This is a function that allows, at least in the machine room, to freely register and delete car calls, hall up calls, and hall down calls by hand by connecting to the elevator control device.

Here, a conventional call registration method for an elevator operating device will be explained. FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the elevator operating device 7. As shown in the figure, the elevator operating device 7 is composed of a keyboard 72 and a signal circuit 73). The input information is encoded by the signal circuit 73 and given to the elevator control device 74.

As shown in FIG. 8, the key date 72 includes a rotary switch 81 having at least channels U for designating a hall up call, D for designating a hall down call, and K for designating a car call, and a numeric keypad (rOJ to "9"). keyboard switch 8, which has 10 kinds of numeric keys), a set key S that gives a set command, and a reset key R that gives a reset command.
It is made up of more than 2 parts.

Figure 9 shows 7 of the call registration operations using such a device.
0 - Show chart.

That is, first, the user operates the rotary switch 81 to select the desired channel among the up call U, down call D, and car call K of the landing, and then inputs the floor name using the ten keys. Finally, press the set key S to register one call. When the set key S is pressed, the signal circuit 73 encodes the call and sends it to the elevator control device 74.The elevator control device 74 receives this sent code, registers the call indicating that code, and also controls the car. When the call is controlled to respond to the registered call, the result is K. To delete the registration, press the reset key R instead of the set key S described above.

When performing such call registration and deletion operations, if a plurality of calls are registered and deleted, it is necessary to repeat the above-mentioned operation for each call, and the operation is therefore very complicated and time-consuming.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In this way, the conventional elevator operating device has to set the call type, set the floor, and reset commands for each call registration. The disadvantage is that the operation is complicated and takes time and effort to register a call. In addition, it is necessary to check the registration of calls and the position of the car using another display (not shown), which is extremely difficult to use when checking the overall operation of the elevator.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to be able to easily register and delete calls, and also to be able to check the registration and know the location at hand, thereby improving workability during maintenance and adjustment of elevators. An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator operating device that allows the user to operate the elevator.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) That is, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention is used by being connected to an elevator control device that controls an elevator, and registers and deletes various calls. An operating device capable of displaying a key date having a display section that displays contents of various calls in a matrix arrangement, a cursor movement key that instructs a direction to move a cursor of this display section, and a key that instructs data reading; When the key instructing data reading is operated, the content displayed on the display section where the cursor is located is recognized, the content is changed to a reverse display, and this recognition information is transmitted to the elevator control device, and at the same time, the car position information is received from the elevator control device. and a control means for displaying this on the display section.

(Function) In such a configuration, when looking at the display section that displays the type of call and the cursor and moving the cursor to the desired call position using the cursor movement keys and instructing reading using the reading instruction key, the control means The content at the cursor position is recognized, the content is changed to a reverse display, and the recognized content is transmitted and given to the elevator control device. Further, upon receiving the car position information transmitted from the elevator control device, the control means displays the car position on the display section.

In this way, you can easily register or delete a call by simply moving the cursor to the desired position on the display that displays the details of the call, and the status is displayed in reverse video on the display at a glance. In addition to being able to recognize
By being able to see the car position, it is possible to improve work efficiency during maintenance and adjustment of the elevator.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an elevator operating device according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, this device includes a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 11 that controls the entire operating device, and a memory 12 that stores programs and data.

Keyboard interface 14 provided to the IJ side,
It is composed of a display 15, a display interface 16 that outputs a signal for display to the display 15 under the control of the CPU II, and a serial interface 17 for exchanging data with an elevator control device (not shown). , each path 1
8. It is assumed that power is supplied to each element by a circuit (not shown).

Such a configuration is basically included in personal computers that have been widely used in recent years, and therefore,
Since it is easy to obtain and inexpensive, it will be used in this device as well. However, in view of the portability required especially for an elevator operating device, a so-called hand belt computer in which the above-mentioned components are compactly integrated is most suitable here.

Figure 2 shows an example of its appearance. In this case, the display 15 of the mobile computer is generally an LCD (liquid crystal display) having a display capacity of multiple lines, and the serial interface 17 and the serial transmission line 19 are generally of the R8232C standard.

Further, although a full keyboard is implemented as the keyboard 13, in the present invention, it is sufficient to have at least five keys as shown in FIG.

That is, 4a for cursor movement (up, down, left).

right direction) arrow keys and the return key (to give input commands)
(reversion key).

FIG. 4(,) shows an example of a display on the display screen of the apparatus according to the present invention. ARFi in the upper left is a command to delete all calls registered up to that point. By moving cursor C to this area using the arrow keys in Figure 3 and pressing the return key, you can set the all call deletion flag. . In addition, numbers 1 to 6 indicate car calls from the 1st to 6th floors, IU to 6U indicate up calls from the landings from the 1st to 6th floors, and 2D to 6D indicate car calls from the landings from the 2nd to 6th floors. Indicates a descending call. Further, "5" below "ARJO" indicates the position of the car, that is, the number of floors on which the car is located. Further, among each call, the black and white inverted lines indicate registered calls.

The registration method is to arrange and display these calls in a matrix on the display 15, move the cursor C to each position in the arrangement using the arrow keys, and press the return key. Take. Then that cursor C
The CPU 11 recognizes and accepts the content located at the cursor, and changes the character on the cursor to a reverse display to indicate that it has been registered.

Conversely, if you want to delete a call, move the cursor to the registered display (highlighted) of the call you want to delete and press the return key. Recognizes and accepts the content of the cursor, and undoes the inversion of the character on the cursor.

In the figure, the numbers from the 1st floor to the 6th floor are displayed, but if the cursor is moved from the 6th floor to the right, the screen scrolls to the left and displays the status of calls from the 7th floor and above.

Software that enables such operations will be described next. FIG. 5 shows the structure of a program stored in advance in the memory 12 of this operating device.

That is, the memory 12 includes a keyboard interface program that inputs the data of the pressed key of the key date 13 into the memory 12, a display interface program that outputs the data of the memory 12 to the display 15, and the memory 12 and an elevator control device (not shown). a serial interface 7 ace program for inputting and outputting data via the serial interface 17 between
The keyboard 13 [3] registers or deletes the input call, outputs its status to the elevator control device via the serial interface 17, and conversely receives the call status from the elevator control device via the serial interface 17 and outputs it to the display 15. The system includes a call registration/deletion program for displaying car position information, a position display program for receiving and displaying car position information from the elevator control device via the serial interface 17, and the like. These programs can be arranged in any order.

The elevator operating device executes these programs using the CPU 11 to perform various controls.

Next, in order to explain the procedure for registering and deleting calls in this device, details of the call registration and deleting program will be described using FIG. In the 70-chart in Figure 6, first it is checked whether the return key has been pressed (S
l). Then, if it is pressed, input the cursor position (S2), and compare that position with the predetermined and displayed call position (SJa, S3b, 53e-).
.

Here, first compare it with the position of the AR key. Then, if the key is in the position, all call flags should be cleared (S4).
After returning the white characters displayed on the display to black characters (S5), this routine exits.

Next, if it is not the AR key position in Sja, the cursor position and IK key position are compared (S3b).

If the IK key is located, then check whether the IK call flag is set (S7), and if it is already registered, set the IK call deletion flag (S7), and display IK in black. (S8). In addition, if the IK is not registered in S6, set the IK call registration flag (S9), and then switch the IK to a white display (S9).
10) After that, exit this routine.

The routine of 66~S10 is 2~nK, IU~nU
*2 There are also for D-n and D, and if it is not IK, it is 2K (Sje), if it is not 2, it is 3, etc. Check all the calls K in 6D''11, and set the flag for each call. This routine ends after processing and displaying.

In this way, the display showing the contents of the call is displayed in a matrix on the screen, and when you move the cursor to the desired call position and press the return key, if the call is not registered, it will be recognized. An elevator control device that sets a call registration flag, reverses the display, and sets a call deletion flag when the call has been registered, returns the reversed display to its original state, and collects information on these calls and car position information. It is designed to perform transmission between the two. Therefore, even if you connect the operation device to the elevator control device to register or delete calls, or if you want to set a large number of calls, you can simply move the cursor to the display position of the relevant call and press the return key. In addition to being easy to operate and input, the registration status can be seen immediately from the display status, and
The car position is also displayed on the screen, making it easy to understand the situation, which is extremely effective in improving operability and preventing setting errors.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, but can be implemented with appropriate modifications within the scope of the gist thereof.For example, the content of the call displayed on the display gray Instead of Figure 4(,), the type of call such as U, D, etc. is displayed below the floor base as shown in Figure 4(b), and the type of call under the target floor base is displayed. Cursor C there
It may be possible to enter by pressing the return key together with This can be done by moving the cursor C to the white call type display position and pressing the return key. Further, in this case, the car position is indicated by whitening the floor base portion. Even in this case, the same effect as in the previous embodiment can be obtained, and the contents can be more easily viewed.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, a call can be registered by aligning the deer crane with the display unit that displays the type of call and a cursor, and the arrow keys and return key for moving the cursor. In addition, the registration status is shown in reverse video, the car position can be displayed on the same screen, and all calls can be deleted at once. Registration and deletion work can be done easily.
Not only is it easy to set multiple calls, but also the status of call registration, location, etc. can be known from the displayed content, so it is possible to provide an elevator operating device that is easy to use and is less likely to be operated incorrectly. .
