Abstract

An operating board (100) of an elevator has a touch panel (1) connected to a controller (200) of an elevator, installed in an elevator car or at a landing, and adapted to display one of screens selected by a mode switching button (6). In a normal mode, a normal screen (Figure 3, Figure 4) showing buttons (2) for registering the destination floor and opening/closing the door is displayed. In a switched mode, a character input screen (Figure 1, Figure 5) showing alphabet keys (2) for inputting arbitrary characters. For example, when the operating board is installed in a department store, the department floor of a commodity is registered by inputting the name of the commodity. When the operating board is installed in a hospital, the floor of the room of a patient is registered by inputting the name of the patient. If a text communication function is added, even if the user is a deaf-mute or a speech disabled person, the state of the car can be accurately reported to a landing, a janitor room, or a monitoring center.

Description

Operating manual Elevator control panel

Technical field

The present invention relates to an operation panel of an elevator using a touch panel, and more particularly to an operation panel of an elevator capable of inputting arbitrary characters by switching modes. Background art

An elevator operation panel using a sunset panel has been disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-144472. In this type of operation panel, the display on the panel was depressed with a finger to switch the screen, and a predetermined input was made. A menu is displayed on each screen, and the user selects and inputs from the menu.

In the conventional operation panel of this configuration, since each screen is a menu display, only a fixed operation and a fixed input, which were facilitated in advance, could be performed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and has as its object to obtain an operation panel of an elevator capable of inputting arbitrary characters. Disclosure of the invention

The operation panel of the elevator according to the present invention is connected to a control device of the elevator, and is an operation panel of the elevator installed in a car or a landing. It has a switch panel that can be switched to multiple screens. The switch panel has a normal screen that displays buttons for normal operations such as destination floor registration, opening and closing doors, and a character input screen that displays buttons for entering arbitrary characters. Have a screen.

The buttons that allow you to enter any characters are the 50-tone key, alpha pet key, or numeric keypad. In addition, the button displays a plurality of letters or numbers. By switching the mode, one of the displayed letters or numbers is input.

It also has a character display screen on which characters entered on the character input screen are displayed, allowing external character communication.

In addition, the display automatically switches to the character input screen in the event of an abnormal event. In addition, this is an operation panel installed in department stores, etc., and when you enter a product name, the floor of the sales floor of the product is registered.

Furthermore, when the name of a patient who is in a hospital is input, the floor of the patient's room is registered. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

Example 1

FIG. 1 is a front view of the operation panel of the present invention, which shows a character input screen displayed on a touch panel. In FIG. 1, 1 is an entire touch panel mounted on a landing or car operation panel 100, 2 is a keyboard display section as a character input screen for displaying characters and numerals to be input, and 3 is a keyboard display section 2. As a character display screen that displays the characters, numbers, and other messages pressed with Message display area, 4 is an image display area for displaying various images, 5 is an indicator that shows the direction and position of the car, and 6 is a mode switching button for switching the keyboard display of the keyboard display section 2. is there. The operation panel 100 is installed in a landing or car at the elevator, and all operations of the operation panel 100 are performed by the evening switch panel 1.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a connection between the landing operation panel 100, the car operation panel 100, and the control panel (control device) 200 of the elevator and the monitoring sensor 300. .

Normally, as shown in Fig. 3 or Fig. 4, a normal screen appears with buttons for normal operations such as destination floor registration, opening and closing doors. On this normal screen, there are displayed a tank and a normal destination floor registration button. The user performs normal operations such as destination floor registration, opening and closing from this screen. By pressing the mode switching button 6, the screens shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 4, and 5 can be switched. On the other hand, in the event of an abnormality such as a failure of the elevator, for example, the screen automatically switches to the screen shown in FIG. 1 without pressing the mode switching button 6. Then, for example, a user of a deaf language or a disabled person can input the key of the keyboard display unit 2 by himself and send a character as a message to 3 0 0, such as a monitoring center. . As a result, even if the user is deaf or linguistically disabled, he / she can communicate with the car and the hall, the manager's office, and the surveillance center via text communication. Can also be accurately communicated.

Also, in the control panel of the elevator installed in department stores, etc., switch the touch panel 1 to the one shown in Fig. 1 and enter the name of the product you want to purchase. Furthermore, with the operation panel installed at hospitals, etc., the floor is automatically registered when the name of the patient who wants to visit the hospital is entered, and the floor is automatically registered. Example 2.

FIG. 6 is a front view showing another example of the operation panel of the present invention, in which the buttons are enlarged. In the operation panel 101 of the present embodiment, each key of the keyboard display section 2 as a character input screen has a plurality of functions to reduce the number of keys. It is.

Regarding the keyboard display unit 2 displayed on the evening touch panel 1 of the present embodiment, all of the 50 sounds and all of the alphabets are displayed in the first embodiment. Can be displayed multiple times. Then, by switching the mode with the mode switching button 6, the displayed characters, such as “” and “” are input.

With the operation panel having such a configuration, the number of display buttons can be reduced, and the size of the evening touch panel 1 can be reduced. This eliminates restrictions on the installation position, such as installation of this device even in places where the installation width is narrow, such as the sleeve walls of the elevator. Industrial applicability
