Abstract

The buttons that are installed on a left or right side wall of an outer door of a conventional elevator to allow a person to select up and down movement of the elevator and various buttons inside the elevator are directly touched by many people in an unsanitary manner, which can transmit bacteria and viruses. The present invention provides a contactless button for an elevator to solve this problem. The contactless button of the present invention employs ultrasonic and infrared proximity sensors that recognize motion within a set range made in a set time and makes the elevator move up and down. According to an automatic recognition method by a camera, the camera automatically recognizes a person when the person enters an ascent/descent display range on a floor close to an entrance of the elevator. In addition, proximity sensors for infrared ray transmission/reception are provided on surfaces of number buttons inside the elevator. When a persons hand approaches the buttons to select a floor number, all the sensors are activated and the value of only one in the uppermost row among the sensors is taken to achieve selecting the floor number in a contactless manner.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an elevator noncontact button,

The present invention relates to a method of non-contact selection of a button for selecting the ascending and descending buttons provided on the left or right side wall of the door of the elevator outer door and a physical contact method of the various buttons located inside the elevator.

The buttons on the left or right side wall of the door of the elevator door for selecting the up and down buttons and the numeric buttons for selecting the inner layers are currently selected as the most physical contact, , And touch switches are mainstream.

The mechanical button type and touch type, which are currently used most frequently, are operated by touching the fingertip on the switch button surface. It is very unsanitary to touch the fingerprint of many people and the button with the germs. It tends to be natural.

However, there is a danger of infection and transmission of viruses and germs due to contact, and as an unhygienic thing that can be a serious harm to the health of the people as shown in the Mels situation in 2015, It is something that should be quickly improved for health.

 The above-mentioned unsanitary problems, such as viruses or bacterial infections caused by physical contact between the button for selecting the upward and downward movement and the inner layer number selection buttons provided on the left or right side wall of the outer door of the conventional elevator,

The present invention seeks to solve the problem of hygienic and convenient manner in a non-contact manner.

 Conventionally, a button for selecting an elevation and an elevation outside the elevator, an inner layer selection button and a door closing door opening button are unhygienic physical contact selection methods,

A proximity sensor (ultrasonic wave, infrared ray) is arranged vertically and horizontally (Figs. 2-21, 31)

1) from upward to downward (FIG. 4), upward

2) If you want to descend, take the motion from top to bottom (Figure 5)

When the above-mentioned motion operation is performed within a predetermined time (about 3 seconds) within the operation range of the upper and lower proximity sensors, it is recognized that the up and down operation is performed.

In the second method of realizing the present invention,

As non-contact selection by the left and right motions of the elevating and lowering buttons on the outside of the elevator,

On the upper side of the conventional w / rise selection button (Fig. 1)

Proximity sensors (ultrasonic waves, infrared rays) are arranged horizontally in the left and right directions (Figs. 8-22, 32)

1) If you want to rise from left to right,

2) If you want to descend, take the motion from right to left,

When the above motion operation is performed within a predetermined time (about 3 seconds) within the operation range of the two proximity sensors on the left and right sides, it is recognized that the up and down operation is performed.

The up and down operations according to the left and right motion operations can be mutually changed,

It is reasonable to attach the notation according to the motion direction and operation together (Fig. 8-41).

In the third method of realizing the present invention,

As a non-contact selection of the desired layer number buttons inside the elevator,

Each of the numeric buttons is provided with a proximity sensor having one pair of infrared transmission and reception on the button surface (FIG. 14), and transmission and reception of the infrared proximity sensor are performed in a direction in which the finger for layer selection approaches the button surface at a right angle (Fig. 13). When the finger is brought close to the desired button surface,

All of the buttons close to the hand shape are activated by the infrared proximity sensor provided on each button surface so that the recognized output values of the plurality of contactless buttons are displayed,

If the hand operation is stopped for more than one second (if the sensor value of each button continues to move, the input value is not determined), only one button value of the uppermost row among the plurality of button output values close to the hand shape is taken, I ignore everything.

If the button value of the top row is two or more, it is initialized and the selection operation must be performed again from the beginning. If there is one button selection value, the button number selection sound such as " Can be realized.

In a fourth method of realizing the present invention,

As a non-contact selection of elevation and descent outside the elevator by camera recognition,

A camera for automatic recognition of ascending and descending is provided on the upper wall of the outer door (Fig. 20)

The bottom surface is also provided with notation for indicating the automatic recognition range of the rise and fall,

By waiting for the passenger to enter the bottom of the floor for a certain period of time,

The camera automatically recognizes the rise and fall, converts the value to an electronic value,

And the operation of raising and lowering the elevator according to the output value (Fig. 22) is performed.

In a fifth method of realizing the present invention,

As up / down contactless selection with proximity sensor or camera on the outer door panel surface,

A camera (Fig. 23) for automatic recognition on the left and right panel surfaces of the elevator outside door,

(Fig. 25), an ultrasonic proximity sensor or an infrared proximity sensor is provided,

By waiting for a certain period of time after the waiting-for-waiting person arrives within the automatic recognition setting range,

The rising and falling portions are automatically recognized, the value is output, and the rising and falling operations are performed.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the first realizing method,

As non-contact selection by the up and down motion of the elevating and lowering buttons on the outside of the elevator,

Up sensors 20 are provided on the upper side 21 and the lower side 31 of the conventional up button 20 and the down button 30 as vertical up and down arrangements as shown in Fig.

Proximity sensors utilize ultrasonic proximity sensors or infrared proximity sensors,

When the following 1) and 2) motion operations are taken,

And recognizes this and causes the select button of the ascending and descending to operate in a noncontact manner.

1), as shown in Fig. 4, from the bottom to the top,

2) When descending, as shown in Fig. 5, from the top to the bottom,

When one motion of the motion is taken within a predetermined time (within 3 seconds) within the range of the proximity sensors (about 30 cm), it is recognized that,

(Fig. 6)

The rising and falling of the upper and lower proximity sensor pulse outputs are determined in order, and the rising and falling operations are performed as the determined output values.

(Fig. 2), Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6,

There must be reflected input from up and down two proximity sensors by motion action,

Detecting an arrangement of the order of the pulse outputs of the two proximity sensors to determine the rise and fall,

The motion inputs of the two proximity sensors must be completed within the set time,

If the above conditions are not met, it must be initialized and restarted from the beginning.

The rising motion (Fig. 4) is an arrangement of pulses of the lower (31) -phase (21), as in the time chart (Fig. 6)

The downward motion (FIG. 5) is an arrangement of pulses of phase 21 through 31, as in the time chart (FIG. 6) -B,

When two pulses are completed within the set time (3 seconds), the necessary conditions are satisfied and the desired operation is performed.

The waiting-

If the above 1) and 2) motion operations are taken within the above two proximity sensor detection ranges,

It recognizes this and operates the up and down buttons in a non-contact manner,

And outputs an operation sound through a speaker of -40 in each operation step (FIG. 3).

E.g,

The upper proximity sensor has a high beep,

The lower proximity sensor outputs a low tone "to -" sound,

When the selection of the wins and falls is completed, an electronic sound such as a 'rising' or 'falling' ment or 'dong' is outputted to visually recognize the operating state.

In the upward motion, when a "lower-to-upper" proximity sensor is passed over from the lower side to the upper side,

The "Up", "Beep" or "Rise" sound will light up with the existing rising button or the separate rising indicator.

In the downward motion, when the "up-down" proximity sensor is swiped from the top to the bottom

The existing down button or the separate lowering indicator lights up with the beep, toe, or down sound, and the down operation is performed.

As the proximity sensor included in the up and down contactless selection by the motion operation of the present invention,

As either an infrared proximity sensor or an ultrasonic proximity sensor,

Each of the proximity sensor modules 21 and 31 is constituted by a pair of transmission (TX) and reception (RX), and infrared rays or ultrasonic waves emitted from the transmission It is possible to set the motion sensing operation range freely by sensing the detection distance of the object and adjusting the sensing distance.

In the above-mentioned operation of two proximity sensors (Fig. 2) (Fig. 3) arranged vertically and vertically,

Within the setting range of each proximity sensor, taking the above motion will work exactly,

As the operation range of the proximity sensor becomes farther away, the reflected infrared rays or ultrasonic waves from the motion operation spread widely and are simultaneously received by the upper and lower RXs.

It is preferable to set the operating range close to a suitable value because the error rate is high,

In order to expand the operating range and prevent errors, the following method can be used.

When two proximity sensors arranged vertically and horizontally are operated on the same principle, the ultrasonic waves or infrared rays reflected by the motion generated by the TX are input to the upper and lower receiving side simultaneously and operated Since an error may occur,

If the two upper and lower proximity sensors are operated in combination with proximity sensors operating in different ways, the operation will be different and there will be no error.

For example, the upper side is an ultrasonic sensor and the lower side is an infrared sensor.

If they are assembled in different ways as described above, even if the operating range is somewhat far apart, they can operate correctly without mutual interference.

If the proximity sensor of the same type is used, the greater the gap between the two sensors, the higher the accuracy of the operation. If the gap is too large,

It is proper to install them on the upper and lower sides of the conventional upper and lower buttons.

Further, as another method for preventing a malfunction which is caused by the simultaneous input of ultrasound waves or infrared rays reflected on an object proximate to the receiving side as proximity sensors of the same kind,

Different frequencies are transmitted and received for each of the upper and lower proximity sensors,

As in the operation of the TV remote control and the TV receiver,

When a different digital signal is modulated and transmitted and received for each proximity sensor, a malfunction due to the same signal does not occur,

If an infrared proximity sensor is provided on each of the number buttons on the inside of the elevator,

It is possible to completely overcome an error that is generated when a reflected or diffused signal due to a hand or an object close to a target button is simultaneously input to a reception sensor of a nearby number button.

For example, the number 1 button displays BCD code 01, the number 2 button displays BCD code 02 ...

As described above, if the unique transmission and reception codes are made different for each number button, the unwanted input due to the reflection and diffusion of the signal of the adjacent button is not affected.

If the input is allowed after a certain time (about 2 seconds) has elapsed after the two sensor inputs are blocked at the moment when motion is detected by the upper and lower sensors by taking the up or down motion,

It is possible to prevent an unnecessary motion operation error due to the " backward motion ".

'Latch motion' is the action of taking the upward motion and lowering the hand again.

In the process of lifting the hand to take down the motion, if the 'prior action' is taken within the range of the proximity sensor,

By arranging the two proximity sensors vertically, it is unnecessary in the process before and after taking the motion operation, but it is easy to occur. To overcome this, it is necessary to reduce the operation range of the excessive sensor and to avoid the operation other than the desired motion within the operation range You can overcome this.

As described above, the proximity sensors are vertically arranged vertically (FIG. 2) (FIG. 3)

The operating range of the proximity sensor and the allowable time of the motion input between the two proximity sensors,

If you take the motion action of "Up <-> Down"

(Fig. 7), it is possible to realize the non-contact rising and falling operations.

In the second realization method,

As non-contact selection by the left and right motions of the elevating and lowering buttons on the outside of the elevator,

Is the same as the operating system of the first realizing method,

The vertical arrangement of the proximity sensors (ultrasonic waves, infrared rays) is arranged horizontally as shown in Fig. 8,

(FIG. 1) of the conventional upper and lower button panels.

Regarding the horizontal arrangement of the proximity sensors,

When people are ideally looking to rise, take their hands upwards,

When you want to descend, beckoning down is common sense easily,

It is difficult to judge the rise and fall by beckoning to the left or the right,

&Quot; left < - > right &quot;

If two proximity sensors are installed in a 'vertical arrangement' and a 'horizontal arrangement'

It is possible to prevent the malfunction due to the 'preceding operation' and the 'following operation' in the &quot; up &quot; - &quot; lower &quot;

Also, if two proximity sensors are arranged horizontally and 'left <-> right' motion is performed,

(FIG. 9), the pulse output value of the time chart can be obtained,

1), the pulse is output when the right-to-left motion is taken (Fig. 9-A)

2) When a "left -> right" motion is taken to descend (FIG. 9-B), a pulse is output,

The 'left < - > &gt; right &apos; right &apos; horizontal motion operates as shown in the flowchart of Fig.

In order to operate the up and down motion by the up and down motion and the left and right motion operations,

(Fig. 2), (Fig. 8), and separately provided on the panel surface of the elevator outer door (Figs. 11 and 12) ,

It is possible to reduce the cost of construction design and construction for installing the conventional button panel on the wall, and to provide more convenience.

The above-

The electronic final output of non-contact selection by up, down, left,

As an output value having a pulse width of about 0.5 second, a relay, a photocoupler,

It is possible to operate by being connected in parallel with the conventional up and down buttons and interlocking with each other,

And can be separately connected to the elevator up / down selection input system.

In the third realization method,

As a non-contact selection of the desired layer number buttons inside the elevator,

For each numbered button surface of conventional physical contact,

(Fig. 14), a proximity sensor having one infrared ray transmission and one infrared ray reception is provided,

(Fig. 13), transmission and reception of the infrared proximity sensor are performed in the direction in which the finger for layer selection approaches in the direction perpendicular to the button surface,

If you place your finger within 10cm of the desired button face,

All the buttons close to the hand shape are activated by the infrared proximity sensor provided on each button surface, and a plurality of non-contact type outputs (18, 12, 13, 7, 1,

If hand movement is stopped for more than 1 second (not determined when the sensor value of each button moves)

Only the value of the uppermost row among the non-contact output values close to the hand shape (18 in Fig. 14) is taken and all the remaining values (12, 13, 7, 1, 2 in Fig. 14) are ignored.

If the button value of the top row is not one but two or more,

You have to take the selection action again from the beginning,

If the button selection value is one, together with the button selection tone such as "Beep -",

And the non-contact layer number selection can be realized by voice guidance of the layer number.

In the above proximity sensor having a single infrared ray transmission and reception on the button surface,

It has the recognition range of about 10cm sensor,

Proximity sensors based on a general infrared transmission and reception method may be utilized,

By transmitting and receiving different digital codes for each number button, it is possible to prevent an error due to interference of signals between buttons and to make an accurate selection of a desired button.

(The description of the transmission and reception of the digital code of each button in the first realization method)

In addition, in the above-

 Using a non-contact type button having an infrared proximity sensor on the button surface,

(Fig. 16), the door opening and door closing buttons on the inside of the elevator can also be operated in a non-contact manner,

(Fig. 17), and when the first and second realization methods are performed,

It is not necessary to install a separate proximity sensor on the up and down button panels,

The operation of raising and lowering the elevator by the upward and downward motion can be realized by the two infrared proximity sensors provided on the button surface in the same manner as the first realizing method.

In the upward and downward button panels utilizing the proximity sensor provided on the button surface,

Besides the motion operation mode of the first realization method,

Up and down operation can be performed by bringing the fingers close to the wing and lowering button surfaces.

(Fig. 18)

When a finger is brought close to an up button provided with an infrared proximity sensor on the button surface,

The down button proximity sensor is also recognized and activated together with the hands in the proximity range. However, by adopting a method of taking only the value of the most significant row of the third realization method of the present invention, The rising value, which is the value of the row, is ignored and the ascending operation is performed.

In case of descent, when the user brings his / her finger close to the button of descent, the ascending button does not approach the hand shape, so that only the descent button is recognized.

If the hand shape is vertically set and recognized only by the proximity sensor of the up button, only the up button is recognized and elevated operation is naturally realized.

The above-described non-contact method of the infrared proximity sensor of the button surface is not used,

As in the prior art, when the physical contact is selected to rise and fall,

Because of the parallel connection interlocking system, the desired operation of rising and falling is performed.

The non-contact selection button of the elevator outside the elevator utilizing the infrared proximity sensor provided on the button surface,

(Fig. 19), it can be provided on the left or right side panel surface of the outer door.

In the fourth method,

As a non-contact selection of elevation and descent outside the elevator by camera recognition,

(Fig. 20), on the elevator outer door upper fixed frame and the upper wall surface,

(50) for at least one automatic recognition,

Camera 1 is installed in the center and camera is installed in the left and right sides of the two-

The camera 1 type recognizes both the rise and fall of the bottom surface from the central upper side,

The camera 2 type recognizes the rise and fall of the bottom surface from the upper left and right, respectively.

The door surface of the outer door entrance door is displayed with the rising (60) and falling (61)

When the camera for automatic recognition described above displays the rising and falling of the floor,

The angle of view and the focus are set so as to be within the range of recognition.

The display of the recognition range of the entrance floor surface is represented by a figure such as a circle, a rectangle, a triangle, etc., and a character indicating the rise and fall inside.

By waiting for a certain period of time (more than 2 seconds) to leave the desired waiting area of the elevator and descent displayed on the floor of the elevator entrance,

The automatic recognition camera recognizes the intention of ascending and descending as shown in Fig. 21,

The image output of the camera is output as rising and falling electronic detection and conversion values,

As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 22, the electronic conversion values of the up and down movements are used to perform the upward and downward operations.

Also,

When the occupant is recognized within the sensing range of the automatic recognition camera, the door is opened again until the elevator arrives at the floor of the waiting boarder and the door is closed and starts to depart,

In addition to the detection method by the sensor of the end surface of the elevator door, it is possible to raise and lower the door by closing the door or moving out of the detection range.

In the fifth realization method,

As up / down contactless selection with proximity sensor or camera on the outer door panel surface,

On the left or right panel side of the elevator outer door or on the left and right sides of the panel surface, respectively

(Fig. 23), cameras 80 and 81 for automatic recognition,

(Ultrasonic waves, infrared rays) 90 and 91 as shown in Fig. 25 (Fig. 25)

Up operation when approaching the left panel, down operation when approaching the right panel,

And automatically ascends and descends during the set time (more than 2 seconds) within the set range,

The mutual setting can be changed by the operation of the automatic recognition camera or the proximity sensor provided on the left and right panel surfaces,

A separate LED display (Figs. 23-25, 35) (Figs. 25-25, 35) according to the operation of the up and down movements is provided on the door panel surface in triangle or arrow shape.

As shown in the flowchart of Fig. 24, automatic recognition of the rise and fall by the camera,

As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 26, automatic recognition of the rise and fall by the proximity sensor,

It is possible to realize the operation of raising and lowering the elevator by non-contact.

In the fourth and fifth realization methods, since it is not necessary to provide a physical button panel for rising and falling on the left or right side wall of the elevator outer door, it is possible to provide more convenience along with cost reduction in designing and construction at the time of construction.
