As shown in Figures 1 and 2, an elevator operation panel according to one embodiment of the present invention can comprise a turnplate-type button 1 , a button signal processing module 4 and a registered floor display module 2.
In the present invention, turning angles of the turnplate-type button 1 are associated with floor numbers, respectively, so that a floor to be registered can be selected through turning and pressing the turnplate-type button 1.
Specifically, when the turnplate-type button 1 is turned, it can output a turning signal corresponding to a rotary angle and a rotary direction. The button signal processing module 4 receives the turning signal from the turnplate-type button 1 , and processes the turning signal to obtain a selectable floor signal corresponding to a selectable floor number which is associated with the rotary angle of the turnplate-type button 1. The registered floor display module 3 receives the selectable floor signal from the button signal processing module 4, and displays the selectable floor number according to the selectable floor signal.
Further, when the turnplate-type button 1 is turned to a certain rotary angle and pressed, it
can output a press signal. The button signal processing module 4 receives the turning signal and the press signal from the turnplate-type button 1, and processes the turning signal and the press signal to obtain a selected floor signal corresponding to a floor number of a selected floor. The registered floor display module 2 receives the selected floor signal, and displays the selected floor number according to the selected floor signal.
Various elements will be descried in detailed as follows.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the turnplate-type button 1 can utilize any known components which can convert a turning operation and a press operation into the corresponding turning signal and press signal For example, the turnplate-type button 1 can comprise an encoder configured to convert a turning operation of the turnplate-type button 1 into a corresponding turning (or phase) signal; and a contact conduction switch configured to acquire a press signal corresponding to a press operation on the turnplate-type-button 1. In other words, the encoder can obtain the rotary position signal corresponding to the turning angle and turning direction of the turnplate-type button 1. In addition, when the turnplate-type button 1 is pressed, said contact conduction switch is closed, thus obtaining a press signal corresponding to the press operation. Optionally, said encoder can be a mechanical or photoelectric encoder.
The structure of the turnplate-type button 1 is well-known in the art, and the detailed description therefor is thus omitted here. In embodiments of the present invention, when turned clockwise, the turnplate-type button 1 can output a clockwise turning signal to the button signal processing module 4. When turned counterclockwise, the turnplate-type button 1 can output a counterclockwise turning signal to the button signal processing module 4. The turnplate-type button 1 can turn continuously. In other words, the encoder of the turnplate-type button 1 can turn continuously clockwise or counterclockwise.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the button signal processing module 4 can obtain a turning angle of the turnplate-type button 1 based on said turning signal, and based on the association between the turning angles of the turnplate-type button 1 and the floor numbers, can obtain a signal corresponding to the selectable floor to be registered, and can
output the signal to the registered floor display module 2.
The registered display module 2 can display the corresponding selectable floor number based on the signal from the button signal processing module 4. For example, as shown Figure 1, the registered display module 2 can include a set of indicators, each of which represents one of a plurality of floors. In this example, as the turnplate-type button 1 is turned, the indicators of the registered display module 2 can be illuminated sequentially from the numbers 1 to 12 or from the numbers 12 to 1. When the turnplate-type 1 is turned, the corresponding indicator can remain lit constantly until the floor corresponding to the indicator is reached.
It should be understood that the indicators in the registered floor display module 2 can also adopt any light sources and display modes, such as, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Light Emitting Diode (LED), Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED), and Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD), etc.

For example, besides the plurality of indicators corresponding to floor numbers as shown in Fig. 1 , the registered floor display module 2 can be a single indicator for displaying the floor numbers sequentially as the turnplate-type button is rotated. In this example, if the turnplate-type button 1 is turned clockwise, then the number on the indicator of the registered floor display module 2 can increase correspondingly; otherwise, if the turnplate-type button 1 is turned counterclockwise, the number decrease correspondingly. When the desired floor number is shown on the indicator of the registered floor display module 2, a user can press against the turnplate-type button 1, so that the switch in the turnplate-type button 1 can contacted once. Then, the number displayed on the indicator of the registered floor display module 2 can be illuminated constantly.
In the embodiments of the present invention, when a passenger selects the destination floor, he or she may turn the turnplate-type button 1. Since the turn angle of said turnplate-type button 1 is associated with the floor number, when the turnplate-type button 1 is turned, the floor number corresponding to the turn angle can be displayed on the registered floor display module 2. The floor number displayed on the registered floor display module 2 can vary as the turplate-type button 1 is turned. When the turn angle reaches the angle corresponding to the floor
number to be registered, the turnplate-type button 1 can be pressed to select the floor number to be registered. Thus, the floor number on the registered floor display module 2 may remain lit constantly.
According to embodiment of the present invention, the elevator operation panel may further comprise a communication module 5. The button signal processing module 4 may communicate with a communication module 5, so as to transmit the selected signal via said communication module to a main control system 7 to register the floor selected. Of course, the selected signal may be transmitted directly from the processing module 4 to the main control system 7.
The elevator operation panel may further comprise a position display module 3 configured to display the floor number corresponding to the current position of the elevator.
Further, the elevator operation panel may further comprise an intrinsic function module 6, such as door close and door open function module, which respectively communicate with the communication module 5. The module 6 may transmit the corresponding signals to the communication module 5, which further transmit the corresponding signal to the main control system 7. After certain actions, the main control system 7 feeds a signal back to module 6 via the communication module 5. The module 6 is any existing module in the elevator operation panel, and the detailed description thereof is thus omitted here.
Referring to Figure 3, a method for operating an elevator system will be described as follows. The elevator system can have a moveable car, and a controller for controlling the position of the car.

Then, at the step S2, the turning signal from said turnplate-type button is processed to obtain a selectable floor signal corresponding to a floor number of a selectable floor.
Then, at S3, The selectable floor number is displayed according to the selectable floor signal.
Then, at S4, when a selectable floor number to be registered is displayed, the turn-plate type button is pressed to output a press signal.
Then, at S5, the turning signal and the press signal from said turnplate-type button is processed to obtain a selected floor signal corresponding to a floor number of the selected floor. Then, at S6, the selected floor number is displayed according to the selected floor signal. Thereafter, the remaining steps of the method are as usual.
