Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an elevator wheelchair operation device that secures an empty space in a car when wheelchair call registration is performed at a landing.

  Conventionally, there has been proposed an apparatus that detects a vacant space in a car by a load or a camera and displays on a hall display device installed at the hall how many people can ride in the car (for example, Patent Documents) 1). In addition, when a wheelchair landing call or a general passenger landing call is registered, it can be determined whether a boarding space can be secured in the car, and whether the wheelchair landing call or the general passenger landing call can be registered can be determined based on the determination result. There is an elevator operation device (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In addition, there is an operation management system that can determine a congestion situation in a car when a wheelchair call is registered, and can dispatch a car on which the wheelchair can be boarded (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

JP 2007-161417 A (for example, paragraph 0015 and FIG. 2) Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-86095 (for example, paragraphs 0026 to 0028 and FIG. 1) JP 2003-267637 A (for example, paragraph 0031 and paragraph 0032)

  With the above-mentioned conventional technology, when a wheelchair passenger tries to get on, the registration of a general call is restricted depending on whether there is space for a wheelchair in the car, or the floor where the hall call is registered, By allocating an empty car, it is possible to secure a space for a wheelchair. However, in any prior art, when the elevator stops on a floor different from the floor where the passengers in the wheelchair are waiting by a car call by a passenger in the car, it is possible to restrict passengers on the floor of the floor As a result, there is a problem that a space for a wheelchair cannot be secured.

  In this invention, the wheelchair call is registered at the elevator hall, and the elevator stops on the floor that is different from the floor where the wheelchair passengers are waiting and stops until the car arrives at the floor where the wheelchair was called. Even so, an object of the present invention is to provide a wheelchair driving device for an elevator that can restrict the boarding of passengers on the landing floor and secure a space for a wheelchair.

  In the elevator wheelchair driving device according to the present invention, a landing passenger detection means for detecting a passenger waiting at the landing provided at the landing of the elevator, and whether or not the passenger detected by the landing passenger detection means is a wheelchair passenger. Wheelchair passenger presence / absence judging means, elevator in the car, passenger detection means for detecting passengers in the car, and wheelchair passenger presence / absence judging means when the information that there is a wheelchair passenger is sent The number of wheelchair passengers in the car is memorized, the amount of passengers detected by the passenger detection means in the car is memorized, and the fullness judging means for judging the amount that can be boarded in the car, The amount is memorized, and when the passenger gets in the car from the middle floor until the car arrives at the floor where the wheelchair passenger is detected, the fullness determination means is the amount of passengers in the car When it is determined that there is no amount that can only be boarded in the car, notification device control means for controlling the notification device provided at the landing so as to perform notification to limit passengers who have entered the car from the middle floor, It is equipped with.

According to the elevator wheelchair driving device according to the present invention, wheelchair calls are registered at the elevator hall, and the car arrives at a floor on a floor different from the floor where the wheelchair passengers are waiting and where the wheelchair calls were made. Even if the elevator stops on the floor where it stops before, there is an effect that the space for the wheelchair can be secured by restricting the passengers on the landing floor of the stopped floor.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an elevator wheelchair operation device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 1, in an elevator car 1 installed on a hoistway in a building, an in-car display 3 for displaying character information, an in-car announcement device 4 for making announcements and buzzers, and an in-car An in-car IC tag information reading device 5 is provided for reading information on an IC tag possessed by a passenger. The elevator hall 6 includes a hall display 7 for displaying character information, a hall announcement device 8 for reporting announcements and buzzers, and hall IC tag information for reading information on IC tags possessed by passengers present at the hall. A reading device 9 is provided. Further, an elevator control device 2 that determines the passenger amount of the car 1 and controls the operation is installed on the hoistway wall or the machine room.

  The car display 3 and the hall display 7 display, for example, “You can ride a person from behind” or “You cannot get on because the car is full”. It is something that encourages. Further, the car announcement device 4 and the hall announcement device 8 announce the above-mentioned contents displayed on the display using voice. The in-car IC tag information reading device 5 and the landing IC tag information reading device 9 are for reading in real time the information of the IC tag possessed by the passenger in the car or the passenger in the predetermined area of the landing.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing the elevator wheelchair operating device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The wheelchair driving device includes a wheelchair call registration means 10 for registering wheelchair calls at the landing, a landing IC tag information reading device 9 for detecting passengers by reading IC tag information possessed by passengers at the landing, and an IC tag possessed by passengers in the car IC tag information reading device 5 for detecting passengers by reading information, elevator control device 2 for determining the passenger amount of the car and controlling driving, and general call registration means 13 for registering calls of general passengers at the landing , A car call registration means 14 for registering calls of wheelchair passengers and general passengers in the car, and a car information display device in the car or a car information display device provided at the landing on each floor. -It has the hall information display apparatus control means 15. The elevator control device 2 includes a wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination unit 11a that determines whether there is a wheelchair passenger at the landing, a fullness determination unit 12a that determines whether the car is full, and an elevator control unit that controls the departure or stop of the car. 30.

  Here, the wheelchair call registration means 10, wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11 a, fullness determination means 12 a, elevator control means 30, hall general call registration means 13, car call registration means 14, car / hall information display device control means 15 Is constituted by software on a microcomputer, for example.

  The wheelchair call registration means 10 registers a wheelchair call when a wheelchair call button (not shown) for a wheelchair user installed in the hall 6 is pressed by the wheelchair user. The boarding IC tag information reading device 9 (boarding passenger detection means) is information for identifying an individual (for example, ID) and information on whether or not the user is a wheelchair from the IC tag held by the passengers at the boarding 6. A passenger is detected by reading IC tag information. In the hall 6, the hall IC tag information reading device 9 reads in real time the information of the IC tag held by the passenger in the predetermined area where the IC tag information can be read.

  The wheelchair passenger presence / absence judging means 11a judges whether or not a wheelchair passenger is present at the hall from the registration information of the wheelchair call registration means 10 and the information read by the hall IC tag information reading device 9. While transmitting the presence or absence of a passenger to the fullness determination means 12a, it transmits wheelchair call registration information to the elevator control means 30. The determination of the presence or absence of a passenger in a wheelchair can be made by using only the information from the landing IC tag information reading means without using the registration information of the wheelchair call registration means 10.

  The in-car IC tag information reading device 5 (in-car passenger detection means) includes information for identifying an individual (for example, an ID) from the IC tag held by the passenger in the car, and information on whether or not the user is a wheelchair user. Is detected in real time to detect passengers. Further, the in-car IC tag information reading device 5 notifies the fullness determining means 12a of the information read from the IC tag held by the passenger in the car.

  The fullness determination means 12a stores the amount of wheelchair passengers present at the landing when information indicating that there is a wheelchair passenger is transmitted from the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11a, and is detected by the in-car IC tag information reading device 5. Memorize the amount of passengers in the car. The fullness determination means 12a is filled with information on the wheelchair passengers from the stored wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11a and the stored passenger information in the car IC tag information reader 5 from the stored car. Or the number of passengers that can be ridden is calculated and determined, and the elevator control means 30 and the car / depot information display device control means 15 are determined. , Notification of fullness and number of people, notification of over capacity, notification of number of people.

  Here, the term “full” means that the number of passengers actually present in the car is the same as the number of passengers or that the wheelchair call is registered in advance at the landing, and the fullness determination means 12a has the space for the unoccupied wheelchair. This refers to the case where the number of passengers converted to general passengers (general equivalent number of people) is added to the actual number of passengers in the car, and the number of passengers becomes the same as the number of passengers due to passengers entering and exiting the car. In addition, the number of people who are in wheelchairs at the boarding place who are in a wheelchair call and the car is not responding to the hall call or car call, and the general equivalent number of wheelchairs that have not been boarded is added to the actual number of passengers in the car. This refers to the case where the number of people exceeds the limit.

  On the other hand, an over-capacity is when the elevator car 1 is stopped on the floor where the elevator car 1 is located. This refers to the case where the total number of people in a wheelchair, including the general conversion number, exceeds the capacity due to passengers entering and leaving due to the car stopping.

  In addition, regarding the judgment of how many people can be boarded, if there is a call for a wheelchair that has not been boarded, the number of passengers in the car is added to the general equivalent number of wheelchairs, and the number of passengers to decide.

  The landing general call registration means 13 registers a general call when a normal call button (not shown) for a healthy person (general passenger) installed at the landing is pressed by the healthy person. The car call registration means 14 registers a car call by pressing a general destination floor button installed in the car 1 or a wheelchair destination floor button installed in the car.

  The elevator control means 30 includes registration information from the hall general call registration means 13, registration information from the car call registration means 14, and wheelchair call registration presence / absence information indicating the presence / absence of a wheelchair passenger obtained from the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11a. And the fullness notification, the number of people notification, the capacity over notification, and the number of people notification from the fullness determination means 12a are received to control the operation of the elevator. Specifically, when the elevator control means 30 receives a capacity over notification, the elevator control means 30 performs control so as not to leave the car 1 landing on a certain floor. When the elevator control means 30 receives a full notification, the car 1 calls the general landing. When control is performed so as not to respond to the number of people and only the number of people notification is received, control according to the number of people is not performed. Further, the elevator control means 30 transmits the wheelchair call registration information transmitted from the wheelchair call registration means 10 to the car / hall information display device control means 15.

  The car / railway information display device control means 15 (notification device control means) receives any of the fullness notification, the number of people notification, the capacity over notification, and the number of people notification from the fullness determination means 12a, and the wheelchair call registration from the elevator control means 30 Information is received, and the display on the displays 3 and 7 (notification devices) installed in the halls and cars of each floor and the announcements to the announcement devices 4 and 8 (notification devices) are controlled. When the car / hall information display device control means 15 receives the full notification and the number of persons notification from the full capacity determination means 12a, depending on whether or not the installation location is the wheelchair call registration floor, the display 3 or 7 is installed on the floor. The message “Only people in wheelchairs can ride” or “Ca n’t board because they are full” is displayed, and the announcement devices 4 and 8 are “Only people in wheelchairs can ride” or “Ca n’t ride because they are full” Make an announcement. However, it is not always necessary to perform both display display and announcement notification, and only one of them may be performed.

  In addition, when the car / pedestrian information display device control means 15 receives the capacity over notification from the full capacity determination means 12a, the car / pedestrian information display equipment control means 15 buzzes the announcement devices 4 and 8 installed in the stopped car and the stopped floor landing. Ring. At this time, at the same time as the buzzer, a display indicating that the capacity is over may be displayed on the stopped car and the displays 3 and 7 installed on the stopped floor landing.

  In addition, when the car / pedestrian information display device control means 15 receives only the notice of the number of people from the fullness determination means 12a, the car / pedestrian information display device control means 15 determines whether the installation location is on the wheelchair call registration floor or not, The message “Please give priority to wheelchair users” or “You can ride in the back to the person” will be displayed, and the announcement devices 4 and 8 will display “People in wheelchairs in priority” or “Rear to person boarding” "I can do it" and control to make an announcement. That is, in this case, the wheelchair passenger is informed to get on board with priority over passengers other than the wheelchair passenger on the floor where the wheelchair passenger waits.

  Next, the operation in the wheelchair driving apparatus of the first embodiment will be specifically described. First, the operation of the fullness determination unit 12a will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the fullness determination means when a wheelchair call is generated at the landing in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. 2 and 3, when a wheelchair call is registered by a wheelchair passenger at the landing, the passenger IC tag information reading device 9 simultaneously reads the passenger information. At this time, the wheelchair call registration information is transmitted from the wheelchair call registration means 10 to the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11a, and the wheelchair passenger information or general passenger information is notified from the landing IC tag information reading device 9 to the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11a. . The wheelchair passenger presence / absence determining means 11a detects whether or not a wheelchair passenger has occurred at the landing from the wheelchair call registration information and the information on the wheelchair passenger by reading the IC tag. The wheelchair call registration information is transmitted to the elevator control means 30, and the fullness determination means 12a is notified that a wheelchair passenger has occurred (step S101). If a call that is not a wheelchair passenger is detected, the fullness determination means 12a is notified of this (step S101). When the fullness determination means 12a receives a notification that a passenger has occurred from the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11a in step S101, the process proceeds to step S102. On the contrary, if no notification is received, the process returns to the start.

  The wheelchair call registration information from the wheelchair call registration means 10 is not necessarily transmitted to the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11a, and it is not necessary to use it to determine whether or not a wheelchair passenger has occurred. Although it is possible to detect the presence or absence of a wheelchair call only from the information of the wheelchair passenger notified from the device 9, the presence or absence of the wheelchair passenger can be detected more accurately by using the wheelchair passenger information and the wheelchair call registration information. It becomes possible.

  In step S102, when the fullness determination means 12a receives the notification from the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11a and the wheelchair passenger is generated at the landing, the process proceeds to step S104, and the “full-wheel determination means 12a” The state of “” is stored. Further, when the notification from the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11a is received and no wheelchair passengers are generated at the landing, that is, when the general passengers are generated, the process proceeds to step S103, and the inside of the capacity determination means 12a. And remember the state of “no wheelchair”. After proceeding to step S103 or step S104, the process returns to step S101 again.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation that is always performed by the fullness determination means in the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the car / hall information display device control means according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 2 and 4, in step S105, the full capacity determination unit 12a specifies information that identifies the individual read from the IC tag held by the passenger in the car from the car IC tag information reading unit 5 provided in the car. For example, if an ID is received and information on whether or not the user is a wheelchair user is received, the process proceeds to step S106 if a new notification is received, that is, if there is a change in passengers in the car. This is the case, for example, when the car stops at a certain floor and passengers get on and off. In step S105, there is already a wheelchair on the landing, and when the full determination means 12a memorizes the state of “having a wheelchair” and a new notification is received in the car, and there is no wheelchair on the landing. In both cases, a notification is newly received in the car. Here, the case where the fullness determination means 12a has already stored the state of “with wheelchair” and has newly received a notification in the car is, for example, from the middle floor until the car arrives at the floor where the wheelchair passenger is detected. When passengers get in the car.
On the other hand, if the full capacity determination unit 12a has not received a new notification in step S105, for example, if the car is moving, the process proceeds to step S118.

  In step S118, if the state that the fullness determination means 12a memorizes is “with wheelchair”, the passenger in the wheelchair at the hall has not yet boarded the car, but in order to secure the space for the wheelchair, The number of persons is increased by six and stored (step S119). On the other hand, if the state stored in the fullness determination means 12a is not “wheelchair present” in step S118, the process returns to the start.

  When the process proceeds from step S119 to step S120, the full capacity determination unit 12a determines whether the stored number of persons is larger than a preset capacity (allowable boarding amount in the car). If the stored number of persons is larger than the capacity, the process proceeds to step S117, and the wheelchair user waiting at the landing cannot already secure the wheelchair space. Then, to the elevator control means 30, the number of persons (for example, -2 persons) of the number of persons obtained by subtracting the number of persons in the car stored in the full capacity determination means 12a from the capacity of the car, and the full capacity notification are transmitted. Conversely, if the number of people stored in the full capacity determination means 12a in step S120 is not more than the capacity, it is determined by comparing whether or not the number of people stored in step S115 is less than the capacity. If YES, that is, the number of people stored. If the number is less than the capacity, the process proceeds to step S116 to notify the car / hall information display device control means 15 of the number of people. On the other hand, in the case of NO, that is, when the stored number of people is the same as the capacity, the process proceeds to step S117, and a full notification and a number notification (0 people) are notified.

  When the number of people in the car stored in step S120 exceeds the capacity, the process proceeds to step S117, where the fullness determination unit 12a transmits a fullness notification and a negative number of people notification to the car / depot information display device control unit 15. In step S121, when the car / landing information display device control means 15 receives the negative number notification from the full capacity determination means 12a, the car / landing information display equipment control means 15 is notified from the full capacity determination means 12a in step S122. The negative number of people is stored and the process proceeds to step S123. If the notification from the occupancy determination means 12a is a full notification in step S123, the capacity over notification has not been received and the process proceeds to step S125. In step S125, the car / hall information display device control means 15 has received the full notification from the full determination means, and therefore proceeds to step S126.

  In step S126, the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 installed on the floor where the wheelchair call is not registered proceed to step S129, and display and announcement that “cannot get on due to full”. However, even in the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 installed on the floor where the wheelchair call is registered, the number of people stored in the car / hall information display device control means 15 in step S127 is a negative value. Accordingly, the process proceeds to step S129, and a display and announcement that “cannot get on because it is full” are made. As a result, the wheelchair passenger waiting at the landing waits until there is enough space for the wheelchair in the car.

  Further, when the process proceeds in the order of steps S120, S115, and S116 in FIG. 4, in step S116, there is a space for passengers other than wheelchair users waiting at the landing in the car. A number of people notification (for example, +2 people) is transmitted to the hall information display device control means 15 and the elevator control means 30 by subtracting the number of people in the car stored in the full capacity judging means 12a from the capacity of the car.

  When the car / hall information display device control means 15 receives the positive number notification from the full capacity determination means 12a in step S121 in FIG. 5, the positive number notified from the full capacity determination means 12a is stored in step S122. The process proceeds to step S123. In step S123, the notification from the full capacity determination unit 12a is not a capacity over notification, so the process proceeds to step S125. In step S125, since the car / hall information display device control means 15 has not received a full notification from the full determination means, the process proceeds to step S130.

  In step S130, the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 installed on the floor where the wheelchair call is not registered proceed to step S132 to display and announce that “you can ride a person from behind”. Further, the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 installed on the floor where the wheelchair call is registered proceed to step S131, and there is still a space for passengers other than wheelchair passengers to ride. In order to prevent the space for passengers in wheelchairs from running out if there are too many passengers, a message “Please give priority to wheelchair users” is displayed and announced.

  Further, when the process proceeds in the order of steps S120, S115, and S117 in FIG. 4, that is, when the number of people in the car is the same as the capacity of the elevator car, in step S117, the use of the wheelchair waits at the boarding place when more passengers get on Because the wheelchair space for the person cannot be secured, the fullness determination means 12a stores the fullness notification from the fullness notification and the capacity of the car to the car / hall information display device control means 15 and the elevator control means 30 on each floor. The number of people notification (0 people) is sent by subtracting the number of people in the car.

  In step S121 of FIG. 5, when the car / hall information display device control means 15 receives the fullness notification and the zero number notification from the fullness determination unit 12a, the number of zeros notified from the fullness determination unit 12a is stored in step S122. Then, the process proceeds to step S123. In step S123, the notification from the full capacity determination unit 12a is not a capacity over notification, so the process proceeds to step S125. In step S125, the car / depot information display device control means 15 has received the full notification from the full determination means, and thus the process proceeds to step S126.

  In step S126, the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 installed on the floor where the wheelchair call is not registered have no space for passengers other than wheelchairs to ride, so proceed to step S129. "And the announcement. In the case of the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 installed on the floor where the wheelchair call is registered, the number of people stored in the car / hall information display device control means 15 in step S127 is not a negative number. Since there is no space for passengers other than wheelchairs to enter, the process proceeds to step S128, and a display and announcement that “only wheelchair users can ride” are made.

  On the other hand, in step S105 of FIG. 4, a passenger gets in the car, and the fullness determination means 12a receives the in-car IC tag information newly from the in-car IC tag information reading means 5 provided in the car. Upon receipt of information identifying the individual read from the IC tag possessed (for example, ID) and information on whether or not the user is a wheelchair user, the number of passengers in the car increased or decreased in step S106. Determine whether. When the number of passengers increases, the process proceeds to step S107, and when it decreases, the process proceeds to step S110.

  If the number of passengers in the car has increased, the fullness determination unit 12a determines whether the passenger is a wheelchair passenger in step S107. In the case of a general passenger, the number of people in the car stored in the full capacity determination means 12a is increased by one (step S108), and in the case of a wheelchair passenger, the number of persons in the car is increased by six and stored. (Step S109). Similarly, when the number of passengers in the car decreases, the fullness determination means 12a determines whether the passenger is a wheelchair passenger in step S110. In the case of a general passenger, the number of people in the car stored in the full capacity determination means 12a is increased by one (step S112), and in the case of a wheelchair passenger, the number of persons in the car is increased by six and stored. (Step S111). Here, in the case of wheelchair passengers, the number of passengers in the car is increased by 6 and stored, but the number 6 is a numerical value when a space equivalent to a wheelchair is defined as 6 general passengers, and this number can be changed as appropriate. It is.

  After the number of people in the car is stored in any one of steps S108, S109, S111, and S112, in step S113, the full capacity determination means 12a compares whether or not the stored number of people in the car is larger than a preset capacity. to decide. When the stored number of persons is larger than the preset capacity, the process proceeds to step S114, and the full capacity determination unit 12a determines whether the car is stopped and the elevator / car information control device 15 and the elevator control unit 30. , Notify the capacity over notification. At this time, if the wheelchair passenger is called in advance before the number of passengers in the car becomes over due to increase / decrease, the capacity over notification is issued even if the space for the wheelchair passenger to board is free.

  Here, the reason for notifying the full capacity but not the full capacity notification is that the car is stopped when the process proceeds to YES in step S105 and then proceeds to step S113, and the buzzer is turned on in the stopped car or at the landing. This is because it is necessary to ring. The full notification is a notification that is made, for example, when the number of people in the car stored in the full capacity determination means 12a is greater than or equal to the capacity when the car is moving, and the buzzer does not sound. Moreover, the elevator control means 30 will control not to operate an elevator, if the notification of capacity over is received.

  In step S114, when the full capacity determination unit 12a transmits a capacity over notification to the car / hall information display device control unit 15, the car / hall information display device control unit 15 starts from the full number determination unit 12a in step S121 of FIG. Since the number notification has not been received, the process proceeds to step S123. In step S123, when the car / hall information display device control means 15 receives the capacity over notification from the full capacity determination means 12a, in step S124, the buzzer sounds in the stopped car to confirm that the passenger is over capacity. Notice.

  If the number of persons stored in the full capacity determination unit 12a in step S113 in FIG. 4 is not larger than the preset capacity, the process proceeds to step S115, and a determination is made by comparing whether the stored number is less than the capacity or not. To do. In other words, the full capacity determination unit 12a determines whether the number of people stored in the car is less than or equal to the capacity, and if it is less than the capacity, the process proceeds to step S116, and if it is equal to the capacity, the process proceeds to step S117.

  In step S116, since there is a space for passengers in the car, the full capacity determination means 12a determines the full capacity determination means 12a from the car capacity to the car / hall information display device control means 15 and the elevator control means 30 on each floor. Sends a notification of the number of people (for example, +2 people) by subtracting the number of people stored in the basket.

  When the car / hall information display device control means 15 receives the positive number notification from the full capacity determination means 12a in step S121 in FIG. 5, the positive number of persons (for example, two persons) notified from the full capacity determination means 12a in step S122. ) Is stored, and the process proceeds to step S123. In step S123, the notification from the full capacity determination unit 12a is not a capacity over notification, so the process proceeds to step S125. In step S125, since the car / hall information display device control means 15 has not received a full notification from the full determination means, the process proceeds to step S130. In step S130, on the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 installed on the floor where the wheelchair call is not registered, in step S132, the display and announcement that “you can ride a person from behind” are performed. For example, when the stored number of people is 3, the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 display and announce that “you can ride 3 people later”.

  In addition, in the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 installed on the floor where the wheelchair call is registered, in step S131, there is still a space for passengers other than wheelchair passengers to ride. In order to prevent the space for passengers in wheelchairs from running out if there are too many passengers, a display and announcement that "Please give priority to wheelchair users" is made.

  If the number of people stored in the car of the full capacity determination means 12a is the same as the capacity in step S115, no more passengers can be boarded in step S117, and therefore the full capacity determination means 12a determines the car / depot information display device control means 15 of each floor. To the elevator control means 30 and the number of persons (0 persons) notification of the number of persons obtained by subtracting the number of persons in the car stored in the full capacity determination means 12a from the capacity of the car. Further, when the elevator control means 30 receives the full notification, the elevator control means 30 controls the elevator so as not to respond to the general hall call after the stopped car has departed.

  In step S121 of FIG. 5, when the car / hall information display device control means 15 receives the fullness notification and the zero number notification from the fullness determination unit 12a, the number of zeros notified from the fullness determination unit 12a is stored in step S122. Then, the process proceeds to step S123. In step S123, the notification from the full capacity determination unit 12a is not a capacity over notification, so the process proceeds to step S125. In step S125, the car / depot information display device control means 15 has received the full notification from the full determination means, and thus the process proceeds to step S126.

  In step S126, the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 installed on the floor where the wheelchair call is not registered have no space for passengers other than wheelchairs to ride, so proceed to step S129. "And the announcement. In the case of the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 installed on the floor where the wheelchair call is registered, the number of people stored in the car / hall information display device control means 15 in step S127 is not a negative number. Since there is no space for passengers other than wheelchairs to enter, the process proceeds to step S128, and a display and announcement that “only wheelchair users can ride” are made.

  Next, a description will be given of the operation when a passenger tries to get on the vehicle in a state where a wheelchair space has already been secured in the car (a state where a passenger on the wheelchair has not yet boarded). First, when another passenger gets in a state where the wheelchair space is already secured, the fullness determination unit 12a receives a notification from the in-car IC tag information reading unit 13 that the number of wheelchairs or general passengers has increased. (Proceed to steps S105, S106, and S107), the number of passengers, which is the amount of passengers in the car, is increased by one in step S108 and stored, or the number of persons in the car is increased by six in step S109 and stored. If the number of people in the car stored in step S113 is larger than the car capacity that is a preset allowable boarding capacity, an over capacity notice is sent to the car / hall information display device control means 15 and the elevator control means 30. In step S114 of FIG. 5, the car / hall information display device control means 15 sounds a buzzer. Moreover, the elevator control means 17 controls so that an elevator does not operate | move. Thereby, the passenger who newly boarded can be alighted, and it is prevented that the space of a wheelchair is lost.

On the other hand, the process proceeds from step S113 to step S115, and when the stored number of people in the car is the same as the number of cars that is a preset boarding allowance, the car / landing information display device control means 15 and the elevator control means 30 A full notification and a number notification (0 people) are transmitted (step S117). Then, in step S126 of FIG. 5, the car / hall information display device control means 15 displays “The board cannot be boarded because it is full” unless the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 are installed at the wheelchair call registration floor. If an announcement is made and the installation location of the hall display device 7 and the hall announcement device 8 is a wheelchair call registration floor, the number of people stored by the fullness determination means is 0, so the process proceeds to step S128, "Only wheelchair users can ride" Display and announcement. Thereby, since passengers other than wheelchair passengers are notified that they cannot get on, it is possible to prevent passengers from getting in the car from a full state and to prevent the wheelchair from running out of space.

  According to the first embodiment of the present invention, when a wheelchair call is generated at the hall, the remaining number of people who can ride in the car is obtained assuming that the passengers in the wheelchairs who have not yet boarded are also in the car. Determine whether the number is over, full, or under capacity. Therefore, even if there is a boarding space in the car, if the judgment result is full, a display / announcement will be made so that no more passengers will enter the car, and a buzzer will sound if the judgment result is over capacity If the judgment result is less than the capacity, the remaining number of passengers and wheelchair priority will be displayed and announced, so if a wheelchair call is registered at the landing, the wheelchair will stop until the car arrives on that floor. Passengers can be prevented from getting on the board so that there is no more space.

  In the above description, the number of passengers actually in the car is read by the in-car IC tag information reading device 5, but the in-car IC tag information reading device 5 indicates that the user is a wheelchair user. In addition to reading, the load of passengers present in the car may be detected, and the number of passengers in the car may be determined based on these to determine whether the car is full.

  FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram showing a wheelchair driving device having a configuration partially different from the above. In FIG. 6, the passenger detection means 16 in the car provided in the car detects a passenger waiting at the landing, and includes an in-car IC tag information reading device 5 and an in-car load detection device 17. Further, the in-car IC tag information reading device 5 and the in-car load detecting device 17 are electrically connected to the full capacity determining means 12b. The car load detector 17 is embedded in the floor of the car and detects the load of passengers in the car. In the above description, the fullness determination means 12a uses the passenger's IC tag information to store the number of people in the car, but the wheelchair user in the IC tag information read by the car IC tag information reading device 5 The fullness determination means 12b may calculate and store the number of persons from the information and the load detected by the car load detection device 17.

For example, the load detected by the car load detection device 17 is 600 kg. In this case, the full capacity determination means 12b may determine the number of passengers in the car based on the load information on the load in the car transmitted from the car load detection device 17 if the average weight per passenger is set to 60 kg in advance. Can be calculated as 10 people. When wheelchair user information is read by the car IC tag information reading device 5, for example, one out of ten passengers in the car is counted as six general passengers. Therefore, the fullness determination means 12b can calculate the actual number of people in the car by, for example, the following calculation formula.
Number of passengers actually present in the car = number of wheelchair users in the car x 6 (person) + (loading capacity in the car / 60 (kg)-number of wheelchair users in the car) = number of wheelchair users in the car x 5 ( Person) + Car loading capacity / 60 (kg)
The full capacity determination means 12b calculates and stores the number of passengers actually present in the car by the above formula.

  The full capacity determination means 12b includes load information from the car load detection device 17, wheelchair user information in the car read by the car IC tag information reading device 5, and a landing from the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11a. Based on the wheelchair passenger presence / absence information, the elevator control means 30 and the car / depot information display device control means 15 are notified of the number of persons, the fullness notification, the number of people notification, or the over capacity notification.

  From the above, when the number of people actually in the car is detected only by the IC tag information reading device 5 in the car, even if the number of persons can be accurately grasped, it can be obtained by riding the rated number of people due to variations in individual weight. While the rated load capacity may be exceeded, it is determined whether the car is full using the in-car IC tag information reading device 5 and the in-car load detection device 17, so that the load state closer to the rated load capacity can be obtained. Can be full. Accordingly, the car can be prevented from traveling greatly exceeding the rated load capacity of the car, and the reliability of the elevator is improved.

  Also, instead of reading IC tag information from the landing IC tag information reading device 9 or the in-car IC tag information reading device 5, as shown below, ordinary cameras or wheelchair passengers are detected by a camera installed in the landing or the car. Then, based on them, the number of passengers in the car may be obtained to determine whether the car is full.

  FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram showing a wheelchair driving device having a configuration partially different from the above. In FIG. 7, landing passenger detection means 18 for detecting passengers waiting at the landing is provided at the landing. The landing passenger detection means 18 includes a landing camera 19 and an image processing unit 20. The landing camera 19 (the landing-side camera) is installed near the ceiling of the elevator hall and photographs passengers waiting at the hall. The image processing unit 20 (a landing-side image processing unit) is electrically connected to the landing camera 19 and processes an image taken by the landing camera 19 in real time. The wheelchair passenger presence / absence determining means 11b determines whether there is a wheelchair passenger at the hall from the registration information from the hall wheelchair call registration means 10 installed at the hall and the processing result of the image processing unit 20.

  The car is provided with landing passenger detection means 21 for detecting passengers in the car. The landing passenger detection means 21 includes an in-car camera 22 and an image processing unit 23. The in-car camera 22 (car-side camera) is installed on the ceiling in the car and photographs passengers in the car. The image processing unit 23 (car-side image processing unit) is electrically connected to the in-car camera 22 and processes images taken by the in-car camera 22 in real time.

  The fullness determination means 12c determines whether there is a wheelchair passenger at the hall from the wheelchair passenger presence / absence judgment means 11b and the processing result from the image processing unit 23, and controls the elevator control means 30 and the car / hall information display device. The means 15 is notified of the number of people notification, the fullness notification, the number of people notification, or the over capacity notification.

  As specific processing contents of the image processing unit 23, for example, based on a change in an image obtained by photographing passengers in the car from directly above the car, a newly occupied plane area occupied by the passenger is calculated. . The newly occupied plane area occupied by the passenger can be calculated from changes in the captured image before and after the passenger increases or decreases. The image processing unit 23 determines whether or not the occupied area is equal to or greater than a predetermined area stored in the image processing unit 23 (for example, a value smaller than the average wheelchair occupied area and larger than the average passenger occupied area). The determination result is transmitted to the fullness determination means 12c. When the determination result that the occupied area of the passenger is equal to or larger than the predetermined area is received, the fullness determination means 12c stores the number of wheelchair passengers in the car as a general passenger, for example, +6 or −6, On the contrary, when the determination result that it is less than the predetermined area is received, the number of people in the car is stored as +1 or −1.

  On the other hand, the image processing unit 20 calculates a planar occupation area of the passenger based on an image obtained by photographing the passenger waiting at the landing. Further, the image processing unit 20 determines whether or not the occupied area is equal to or greater than a predetermined area stored in the image processing unit 20 (for example, a value smaller than the average wheelchair occupied area and larger than the average passenger occupied area). And the determination result is transmitted to the wheelchair passenger presence determination means 11b. The wheelchair passenger presence / absence determining means 11b determines that the wheelchair passenger is a wheelchair passenger if the determination result transmitted from the image processing unit 20 is equal to or larger than a predetermined area and there is registration information from the landing wheelchair call registration means 10 installed at the landing. Then, the information “having a wheelchair” is transmitted to the fullness determination means 12c. On the other hand, if this is not the case, information “no wheelchair” is transmitted to the fullness determination means 12c.

  The fullness determination unit 12c stores the number of persons based on the wheelchair passenger presence / absence information from the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination unit 11b and the determination result from the image processing unit 23. At this time, the fullness determination unit 12c stores the number of people in the car as, for example, six people if the judgment result transmitted from the image processing unit 23 is equal to or larger than a predetermined area, and if less than the predetermined area, the number of people in the car is stored. Remember as one person. In addition, even when information indicating that there is a wheelchair is transmitted from the wheelchair passenger presence determination means 11b, the number of people in the car is stored as, for example, six people. In addition, when the information “no wheelchair” is transmitted from the wheelchair passenger presence determination means 11b, the number of people in the car is not stored.

  In the above description, an example in which the planar occupied area of passengers in the car that has been newly increased or decreased is calculated and the occupied area determination unit 12c stores the occupied area at any time has been described. The planar occupation area of passengers in the car may be stored again.

  Further, as the processing contents of the image processing units 20 and 23, the following method is also conceivable. Similarly to the above, the image processing unit 23 calculates the plane occupation area of the newly increased / decreased passenger based on, for example, a change in an image obtained by photographing the passenger in the car from directly above the car. The result is transmitted to the fullness determination means 12c, which is different from the above in that the fullness determination means 12c stores the occupied area.

  On the other hand, the image processing unit 20 calculates a planar occupation area of the wheelchair passenger based on an image of the passenger waiting at the landing. Further, the image processing unit 20 determines whether or not the occupied area is equal to or greater than a predetermined area stored in the image processing unit 20 (for example, a value smaller than the average wheelchair occupied area and larger than the average passenger occupied area). The determination result and the occupied area are transmitted to the wheelchair passenger presence determination means 11b. The wheelchair passenger presence / absence determining means 11b determines that the wheelchair passenger is a wheelchair passenger if the determination result transmitted from the image processing unit 20 is equal to or larger than a predetermined area and there is registration information from the landing wheelchair call registration means 10 installed at the landing. , "Wheelchair available" information and the area occupied by the wheelchair passenger are transmitted to the fullness determination means 12c. On the other hand, if this is not the case, the information on “no wheelchair” and the occupied area of the wheelchair passenger are transmitted to the full capacity determination means 12c.

  When the information “having a wheelchair” is transmitted to the fullness determination unit 12c, the fullness determination unit 12c stores the occupied area of the landing wheelchair passenger transmitted from the wheelchair passenger presence determination unit 11b. The fullness determination means 12c compares the preset total floor area in the car with the stored occupied area in the car (including the unoccupied wheelchair), and the total floor area in the car is determined from the occupied area in the car. If it is larger, the car / landing information display device control means 15 is notified of the number of passengers that can be obtained by converting the area obtained by subtracting the area occupied by the car from the total floor area of the car into the number of people. In addition, when the total floor area in the car is approximately equal to the occupied area in the car (when the number of passengers that can be boarded is calculated by subtracting the occupied area in the car from the total floor area in the car) Notify the car / departure information display device control means 15 of a full notification and a notification of the number of passengers (0). Also, if the total floor area in the car is smaller than the occupied area in the car, if the car is stopped, a notification of over capacity will be sent to the car / landing information display device control means 15, and if the car is moving, it will be full. Notification and number of people notification (for example, -2 people) are notified to the car / hall information display device control means 15.

  As mentioned above, whether the wheelchair passengers waiting at the landing can get in the car is determined based on the image information from the landing and the camera provided in the car, so whether the wheelchair passengers waiting at the landing can board or not Can be accurately determined.

  Rather than detecting passengers with an IC tag information reader or camera, as shown below, passengers or wheelchair passengers are detected by pressure sensors installed in halls and cars, and passengers in the cars are detected based on them. It may be determined whether the number is full or not.

  FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram showing a wheelchair driving device having a configuration partially different from the above. In FIG. 8, a landing passenger detection means 24 for detecting a passenger waiting at the landing is provided at the landing. The landing passenger detection means 24 includes a landing pressure sensor 25 and a detection / determination unit 26. The landing pressure sensor 25 (the landing side pressure sensor) is installed on the floor of the landing, and is configured, for example, by arranging pressure sensors having a large number of pressure sensitive points in a grid pattern on the car floor. The detection / judgment unit 26 (the landing side detection unit) is electrically connected to the landing pressure sensor 25 and detects and determines passengers at the landing based on the pressure-sensitive location and pressure value detected by the landing pressure sensor 25. is there. The wheelchair passenger presence / absence determining means 11c determines whether there is a wheelchair passenger at the hall from the registration information from the hall wheelchair call registration means 10 installed at the hall and the determination result of the detection / determination unit 26.

  The car is provided with landing passenger detection means 27 for detecting passengers in the car. The landing passenger detection means 27 includes a car pressure sensor 28 and a detection unit 29. The car internal pressure sensor 28 (car side pressure sensor) is installed on the floor in the car, and is configured, for example, by arranging pressure sensors having a large number of pressure sensitive points in a grid pattern on the car floor surface. The detection unit 29 (car-side detection unit) is electrically connected to the in-car pressure sensor 28 and detects passengers on the landing from the pressure-sensitive location and pressure value detected by the in-car pressure sensor 28.

  The fullness determination means 12d is configured to control the elevator control means 30 and the car / hall information display device control based on the determination result from the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11c whether or not there is a wheelchair passenger and the processing result from the detection unit 29. The means 15 is notified of the number of people notification, the fullness notification, the number of people notification, or the over capacity notification.

  As specific processing contents of the detection unit 29, for example, a planar occupation area of passengers in the car is detected based on a detection signal (pressure, pressure sensitive location) from the car pressure sensor 28. At this time, the area occupied by the general customer is assumed to be a rectangular or elliptical area based on the heel from the toes of the passengers. When the passenger stands on the car, the pressure applied to the floor of the car is detected from the two feet in contact with the floor. On the other hand, the occupied area of the wheelchair is assumed to be a rectangular area based on four wheels (two front wheels and two rear wheels) of the wheelchair. When the wheelchair gets on the car floor, the pressure applied to the car floor is detected by the car pressure sensor 28 from four wheels of the wheelchair. And the detection part 29 detects the occupation area of each passenger in a car based on the detection signal (pressure, pressure sensitive location) from the car internal pressure sensor 28, and transmits the process result to the fullness determination means 12d. The fullness determination means 12d stores the occupied area.

  In the above description, an example is given in which the occupied area of the passenger is detected based on the pressure-sensitive location and pressure value detected by the pressure sensor, and the fullness determining means 12d re-stores the occupied area of the passenger in the car periodically or in real time. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the occupied area of passengers in the car newly increased / decreased is calculated based on the pressure-sensitive location and pressure value detected by the car pressure sensor 28, and the fullness determination means 12d The occupied area may be stored.

  On the other hand, the detection / determination unit 26 detects the planar occupation area of the passenger based on the detection signal (pressure, pressure-sensitive location) from the hall pressure sensor 25. Further, the detection / determination unit 26 determines whether or not four substantially equal pressure values at the landing are detected within a predetermined range, and transmits the determination result and the occupied area to the wheelchair passenger presence determination unit 11c. The wheelchair passenger presence / absence determining means 11c transmits a determination result that four substantially equal pressure values are detected within a predetermined range from the detection / determination unit 26, and is registered from the landing wheelchair call registration means 10 installed at the landing. If the information exists, it is determined that the vehicle is a wheelchair passenger, and information indicating that there is a wheelchair and the occupied area of the wheelchair passenger are transmitted to the fullness determination means 12d. On the other hand, if this is not the case, information indicating that there is no wheelchair and the area occupied by the wheelchair passenger are transmitted to the fullness determination means 12d. In addition, since the installation area of a passenger | crew's leg | foot and a car floor differs in the shape and magnitude | size from the wheelchair wheel and the installation area of a car floor, the discrimination by the area and shape of a contact part can also be used.

  When the information “has a wheelchair” is transmitted to the fullness determination unit 12d, the fullness determination unit 12d stores the area occupied by the wheelchair passengers transmitted from the wheelchair passenger presence determination unit 11c. Further, when the information “no wheelchair” is transmitted from the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determining means 11c, the area occupied by the passenger in the wheelchair is not stored. When the information “having a wheelchair” is transmitted to the full capacity determination means 12d, the full capacity determination means 12d determines the total floor area in the car (allowance for the entire car) and the stored occupied area in the car ( If the total floor area in the car is larger than the occupied area in the car, the area obtained by subtracting the occupied area in the car from the total floor area in the car The converted notice of the number of passengers that can be boarded is sent to the car / hall information display device control means 15. Also, if the total floor area in the car is approximately equal to the number of passengers in the car (when the total number of floors in the car minus the area occupied by the car is converted to the number of passengers is less than 1), Notify the car / departure information display device control means 15 of a full notification and a notification of the number of passengers (0). Also, if the total floor area in the car is smaller than the occupied area in the car, if the car is stopped, a notification of over capacity will be sent to the car / landing information display device control means 15, and if the car is moving, it will be full. Notification and number of people notification (for example, -2 people) are notified to the car / hall information display device control means 15.

  As described above, the presence or absence of wheelchair passengers and the area occupied by wheelchair passengers are detected from the pressure-sensitive location and pressure value detected by the pressure sensor provided at the landing, and also detected by the force sensor provided in the car. Since the occupied area of passengers in the car is detected based on the pressure-sensitive location and the pressure value, it is possible to accurately determine whether or not a wheelchair passenger waiting on the landing can get on. Moreover, the boarding space in a cage | basket | car can be judged more correctly.

  In the first embodiment, an example of an IC tag reading device, a camera, a load detection device, and a pressure sensor for detecting the number of passengers and a space in a landing or a car has been described, but these can also be combined. Further, any configuration other than the above may be used as long as it can count the number of people in the car and detect the space.

In the elevator wheelchair operation device according to the present invention, a landing passenger detection means for detecting a passenger waiting at the landing provided at the landing of the elevator, and whether or not the passenger detected by the landing passenger detection means is a wheelchair passenger. Information indicating that there is a wheelchair passenger is transmitted from the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determining means for determining the car, the passenger detection means for detecting the passenger in the car and the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determining means provided in the elevator car. and stores the number of the wheelchair passenger who is in the landing when, stores the number of passengers detected by the car inside passenger detecting unit, corresponds to the number of persons in wheelchairs space of the wheelchair passenger who is in the hall The number of general passengers to be added to the number of passengers detected by the passenger detection means in the car and a preset number of passengers allowed in the car A packed determining means for determining a possible number of passengers in said car from said car is stopped in the middle floor until arriving at the floor of detecting the wheelchair passenger, a the packed determining means can ride in said cage And a notification device control means for controlling a notification device provided at the landing so as to perform notification for restricting general passengers boarding from the intermediate floor when it is determined that there is no person .

According to the elevator wheelchair driving device according to the present invention, wheelchair calls are registered at the elevator hall, and the car arrives at a floor on a floor different from the floor where the wheelchair passengers are waiting and where the wheelchair calls were made. Even if the elevator stops on the floor where it stops before, it is possible to secure wheelchair space for the number of wheelchair passengers waiting at the landing by restricting passengers on the landing on the floor It has the effect.

The fullness determination means 12a stores the number of wheelchair passengers present at the landing when information indicating that there is a wheelchair passenger is transmitted from the wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11a, and is detected by the IC tag information reader 5 in the car. Memorize the number of passengers in the car. The fullness determination means 12a is filled with information on the wheelchair passengers from the stored wheelchair passenger presence / absence determination means 11a and the stored passenger information in the car IC tag information reader 5 from the stored car.

When the process proceeds from step S119 to step S120, the full capacity determination unit 12a determines whether or not the stored number of persons is larger than a preset capacity (allowable number of people in the car). If the stored number of persons is larger than the capacity, the process proceeds to step S117, and the wheelchair user waiting at the landing cannot already secure the wheelchair space. Then, to the elevator control means 30, the number of persons (for example, -2 persons) of the number of persons obtained by subtracting the number of persons in the car stored in the full capacity determination means 12a from the capacity of the car, and the full capacity notification are transmitted. Conversely, if the number of people stored in the full capacity determination means 12a in step S120 is not more than the capacity, it is determined by comparing whether or not the number of people stored in step S115 is less than the capacity. If YES, that is, the number of people stored. If the number is less than the capacity, the process proceeds to step S116 to notify the car / hall information display device control means 15 of the number of people. On the other hand, in the case of NO, that is, when the stored number of people is the same as the capacity, the process proceeds to step S117, and a full notification and a number notification (0 people) are notified.
