Abstract

The present invention relates to an elevator having a passenger detection function, comprising a button, a detection unit for detecting a person, a driving unit for driving an elevator, and a control unit for controlling an elevator, and when a button is pressed and a person is detected, the elevator stops on the floor. If the button is pressed and no person is detected, it passes through the floor.

Description

Elevator with passenger sensing function

The present invention relates to an elevator, and more particularly to an elevator for transporting passengers or cargo, such as buildings or apartments.

High-rise buildings such as buildings, department stores and apartments are equipped with elevators to carry passengers. These elevators are provided with buttons on the inside of each elevator and on each floor so that passengers in the building can get off or ride.

However, in a conventional elevator, when a passenger who wants to board an elevator presses a button and leaves the room or the button is pressed while there is no person on the elevator, the elevator stops at each floor where the button is pressed.

Therefore, since the elevator has to move again after stopping the floor that does not need to stop, not only the movement time is required but also the power consumption increases.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator having a passenger detection function capable of detecting a passenger, and having a button pressed and passing through when no passenger is detected. .

According to a feature of the present invention proposed to achieve the above object, an elevator having a passenger detection function includes a button installed on a plurality of floors; A detector installed on each floor to determine whether a passenger is present; An elevator on which passengers board; A drive unit for driving the elevator; When a button on the floor to which the passenger is to be boarded is pressed and a person is detected from the detection unit, the controller includes a control unit which stops the elevator on the floor and controls the passenger to board the passenger.

In a preferred embodiment of this feature, the detector detects by infrared or ultrasonic waves.

According to another feature of the present invention, an elevator having a passenger detection function includes: an elevator on which passengers board; A button installed inside the elevator; A detector installed inside the elevator to determine whether a passenger is present; A drive unit for driving the elevator; If a button on the floor to which the passenger is to get off is pressed and a person is detected from the detection unit, the control unit stops the elevator on the floor and controls the passenger to get off.

In a preferred embodiment of this feature, the detector detects by infrared or ultrasonic waves.

The present invention relates to an elevator having a passenger detection function, comprising a button, a detection unit for detecting a person, a driving unit for driving an elevator, and a control unit for controlling an elevator, and when a button is pressed and a person is detected, the elevator stops on the floor. If the button is pressed and no person is detected, it passes through the floor.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Example 1

Referring to FIG. 1, the elevator having the novel passenger detection function of the present invention includes a control unit 110, a detection unit 130, a button 150, a driving unit 120, and an elevator 140. Passengers can be detected and floors without passengers to be taken can pass.

In the figure, the detector 130 and the button 150 are installed near the elevator hatch of each floor of the building. The button 150 is provided with an up or down button, for example, and the passenger presses a direction button according to a direction to go. The detector 130 detects whether or not a person is near the elevator hatch using, for example, an ultrasonic detector or an infrared detector.

The button detection signal from the button 150 and the detection signal from the detection unit 130 are transmitted to the control unit 110.

On the other hand, the driving unit 120 raises or lowers the elevator 140. Such a drive unit 120 is configured using a motor, for example.

The controller 110 performs an operation as shown in FIG. 3.

First, the controller 110 determines whether a button of a floor to be stopped next is pressed (S120). If the button 150 is pressed, it is determined whether the person is detected through the detector 130 (S130). When the button 150 is pressed and a person is detected, the controller 110 causes the elevator to stop on the floor (S140). And open the door of the elevator to allow passengers to ride (S150).

On the other hand, if the button 150 of the floor to be stopped is not pressed or a person is not detected even if it is pressed, the controller 110 moves the elevator to the next floor.

Example 2

Referring to FIG. 2, the elevator having the novel passenger detection function of the present invention includes a control unit 210, a detection unit 230, a button 240, a driving unit 220, and an elevator 250. Passengers can be detected, and if no passengers are present, the button can be pushed through the floor.

In the figure, the detector 230 and the button 240 is installed near the door in the elevator. The button 240 is provided with a plurality of buttons for displaying each floor, for example, and the passenger presses the button of the floor to get off. The detector 230 detects whether or not there is a person in the elevator using, for example, an ultrasonic detector or an infrared detector.

The button detection signal from the button 240 and the detection signal from the detection unit 230 are transmitted to the control unit 210.

On the other hand, the driving unit 220 raises or lowers the elevator 250. Such a driving unit 220 is configured using a motor, for example.

Then, the controller 210 performs an operation as shown in FIG. 3.

First, the controller 210 determines whether a button of a floor to be stopped next is pressed (S120). If the button 240 is pressed, it is determined whether a person is detected through the detector 230 (S130). When the button 240 is pressed and a person is detected, the controller 210 causes the elevator to stop on the floor (S140). And open the door of the elevator to allow the passenger to get off (S150).

On the other hand, if a button of the floor to be stopped is not pressed or a person is not detected even if it is pressed, the controller 210 moves the elevator to the next floor.

The present invention solves the problem that the conventional elevator takes a lot of travel time and power consumption because it has to stop and move again to the floor that does not need to stop once the button is pressed. It can be detected, and the button can be pressed and passed if no passengers are detected.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the elevator movement time can be reduced, and power consumption can be reduced.
