Outputs a predetermined control signal. The drive control unit 20 drives the hoist 30 in accordance with this control signal, allowing the elevator 50 to arrive at the user. When the elevator 50 arrives, if the user operates the button 51 of the operation panel in the elevator 50, this signal is transmitted to the elevator driving information control unit 12, and the control panel 10 is connected with the above-described driving operation. Similarly, by operating the elevator 50, the user can move to the desired floor.

Meanwhile, the elevator operating environment in a typical high-rise apartment is as follows. In high-rise apartments of 20 floors or more, only one elevator is often installed, and since the elevator is also low at about 60-120 m / min, it is difficult for the user to use the elevator efficiently. That is, when a user flocks to the commute time, or when there are many differences between the actual elevator position and the user's own position, there is an inconvenience of waiting for a considerable time.

An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide an elevator monitoring and calling system that can reduce the waiting time for the elevator by calling the elevator user information and the call information of the elevator in real time easily.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide an elevator monitoring and calling system that can be prepared by confirming in advance information on the full load, failure or check during operation.

3 is a view for explaining the operation of the elevator monitoring and call system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the control panel 100 receives the driving information (ci) of the elevator and the call information (hi) of the boarding point to control the operation of the elevator accordingly. Operation of the control panel 100 is the same as the control panel 10 of FIG. 1 according to the prior art, the platform call information control unit 110, the platform call information control unit 11 of FIG. Since the operation of the elevator driving information control unit 12 of FIG. 1 is the same, the description thereof is omitted. Only when there is a lift call from each of the terminals 310, 320, and 330 through the interface 200, the lifter calls the lifter to a desired floor through the control panel 100, and the interface 200 and a plurality of terminals. The specific operation of 300 is described below.

In the present invention, the interface 200 including the microcontroller 210, the identification number (ID) assignment and identification unit 220, and the wired port 230 is connected to the control panel 100, and the terminal 310, When the elevator driving information ci and the platform call information hi are requested from 320 and 330, the elevator driving information ci and the platform call information hi are read. In addition, the identification number (ID) assignment and identification unit 220 made of a memory element such as RAM, when there is a lift call, the identification number assigned to the terminals (310, 320, 330) and a list of identification numbers stored therein Check to see if the same identification number exists. By including the identification number information allocated to each of the terminals 310, 320, and 330 under the control of the microcontroller 210 in the read operation information (ci) and the call information (hi), the wired transmission ( Tx) and receive (Rx) port 230. This is to transmit the driving information (ci) and the call information (hi) only to the terminal that transmits the call to the interface (200).

In addition, the interface 200 is preferably selected to match the signal system and connector type of the control panel 100. That is, since the signal system and the connector form of the control panel 100 is changed according to the type of elevator manufacturer and the type of elevator, the connector and signal line attached to the interface 200 should be changed. In other words, only the interface 200 is changed while maintaining the configuration of the conventional control panel 100.

Meanwhile, each of the terminals 310, 320, of the plurality of terminals 300 including the microcontroller 311, the identification number comparison unit 312 and the display device 313, the call button 314, and the wired port 315 is provided. The 330 requests the transmission of the driving information ci and the calling information hi and displays the information when the information is received.

The microcontroller 311 requests the interface 200 to transmit the elevator driving information (ci) and the platform call information (hi), and transmits the information transmitted through the wired port (230) from the interface (200). It will control the reception and display. The identification number comparison unit 312 compares whether the identification number included in the transmitted information is the same as the identification number assigned to each terminal 310, 320, 330 itself.

In this case, the display device 313 displays the information transmitted from the interface 200 only when the identification numbers are the same. Here, the information displayed from the display device 313 may be information about the ascending and descending of the elevator, floor display, stop, driving, full, inspection, opening and closing as shown in FIG. 3, but is not limited thereto. Do not.

Therefore, when the user of each terminal 310, 320, 330 calls up and down through the call button 314, the terminal 310, by the control of the microcontroller in each terminal 310, 320, 330 itself; 320, 330 transmits a signal including an identification number assigned to the interface 200 to the interface 200 through an internal wired port, and the interface 200 identifies the identification number assigned and stored in the identification unit 220. After searching and confirming the number, the elevator driving information and the platform call information are transmitted to the respective user terminals 310, 320, and 330, and the elevator is called through the control panel 100.

Meanwhile, the RS-485 may assign 255 identification numbers in a multi-drop format. That is, an identification number can be assigned to 255 households, and sufficient identification number can be assigned to a single apartment. The digital signal provided over the wire may be transmitted together with a conventionally used analog ADSL signal line, and may be split when transmitted to the terminal. Since the signal transmission scheme is obvious to those skilled in the art, a detailed description will be provided. Is omitted.

According to the present invention, the elevator user can easily check the driving information of the elevator and the call information of the elevator to reduce the waiting time of the elevator, and the elevator which can prepare by checking the information on the elevator's fullness, failure or inspection during operation in advance It can provide a monitoring and calling system.

The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions and changes can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be apparent to those who have
