Description

行先登録装置及び行先登録方法Destination registration device and destination registration method
　本発明は、行先登録装置及び行先登録方法の管理に関する。 The present invention relates to the management of a destination registration device and a destination registration method.
　エレベータの乗客による非接触操作を受け付けて、行先階を登録するため、特開2015-151253号公報（特許文献１）に記載の技術がある。この公報には、「この発明に係るエレベータの操作盤装置においては、エレベータの乗場又は乗りかご内に設置される操作盤に設けられた操作ボタンと、１つの前記操作ボタンにつき２以上の所定の個数ずつが対応して設けられ、それぞれが直線状の検出軸上の物体の有無を非接触で検出するセンサと、１つの前記操作ボタンに対応する前記所定の個数の前記センサが同時に前記検出軸上に物体を検出した場合に、当該操作ボタンについて操作検出状態にあると判定する判定部と、を備え、１つの前記操作ボタンに対応する前記所定の個数の前記センサの前記検出軸同士は、正面視において当該操作ボタンの操作面部の内側となる空間上の１点において互いに交差して配置される構成とする。」との記載がある。 There is a technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-151253 (Patent Document 1) for accepting non-contact operations by elevator passengers and registering destination floors. In this publication, "in the operation panel device of the elevator according to the present invention, an operation button provided on the operation panel installed in the landing or the car of the elevator, and two or more predetermined operation buttons for one operation button. A sensor that detects the presence or absence of an object on a linear detection axis in a non-contact manner and a predetermined number of sensors corresponding to one operation button are simultaneously provided on the detection axis.

特開2015-151253号公報JP-A-2015-151253
　特許文献１では、検出軸が交差する一点で操作の検出を行う構成を採用し、操作盤から操作の検出が成立する点までの距離は固定である。この場合の距離は、誤操作を防止するために操作盤の近傍に設定され、操作盤への接触も許容される。しかし、近年、感染症対策の観点から、接触によるリスクを低減すべく、操作盤面から十分に離れた位置で行先登録操作を成立させることが求められ、その際にも誤操作を抑制する必要がある。 Patent Document 1 adopts a configuration in which the operation is detected at one point where the detection axes intersect, and the distance from the operation panel to the point where the operation detection is established is fixed. The distance in this case is set in the vicinity of the operation panel in order to prevent erroneous operation, and contact with the operation panel is allowed. However, in recent years, from the viewpoint of infectious disease countermeasures, in order to reduce the risk of contact, it has been required to establish a destination registration operation at a position sufficiently distant from the operation panel surface, and it is also necessary to suppress erroneous operations at that time. ..
　そこで、本発明では、誤操作を防止しつつ離隔した行先登録操作が可能な技術を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of performing remote destination registration operations while preventing erroneous operations.
　上記課題を解決するために、代表的な本発明の行先登録装置及び行先登録方法の一つは、エレベータの乗客による操作を受け付けて行先階を登録する行先登録装置が、前記エレベータの乗カゴの混雑度を判定し、前記行先階を指定する操作を非接触で検知し、前記非接触での検知について、距離に関する閾値を前記混雑度に応じて変更し、前記距離に関する閾値を満たす検知結果が得られた場合に、前記行先階を登録するものである。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, one of the typical destination registration devices and destination registration methods of the present invention is that the destination registration device that accepts operations by elevator passengers and registers the destination floor is the elevator riding basket. The congestion degree is determined, the operation of designating the destination floor is detected non-contactly, the threshold value related to the distance is changed according to the congestion degree for the non-contact detection, and the detection result satisfying the threshold value related to the distance is obtained. When obtained, the destination floor is registered.
　本発明によれば、誤操作を防止しつつ離隔した行先登録操作が可能である。
　上記した以外の課題、構成及び効果は、以下の実施形態の説明により明らかにされる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to perform a remote destination registration operation while preventing an erroneous operation.
Issues, configurations and effects other than those described above will be clarified by the following description of the embodiments.

　以下、本発明の実施例について図面を用いて説明する。 Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
　図１は、実施例における行先登録についての説明図である。図１に示したように、エレベータの乗カゴに乗った乗客は、行先登録装置４０を非接触で操作して所望の行先階を指定することができる。行先登録装置４０は、赤外線センサや静電容量センサを操作検知部として備えており、距離閾値と時間閾値を用いて乗客の操作を検知する。すなわち、操作検知部が、距離閾値以下の近距離に時間閾値以上の時間継続して物体を検知したときに、行先階を登録する操作であるとして行先階の登録を行う。 FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of destination registration in the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, a passenger in an elevator car can operate the destination registration device 40 in a non-contact manner to specify a desired destination floor. The destination registration device 40 includes an infrared sensor and a capacitance sensor as an operation detection unit, and detects a passenger's operation using a distance threshold value and a time threshold value. That is, when the operation detection unit continuously detects an object at a short distance equal to or less than the distance threshold value for a time equal to or longer than the time threshold value, the operation detection unit registers the destination floor as an operation for registering the destination floor.
　ここで、行先登録装置４０は、乗カゴの混雑度を判定し、距離閾値及び時間閾値を変更する。具体的には、乗カゴが空いていれば、行先登録装置４０は、距離閾値を大きく、時間閾値を小さくする。この結果、乗客は、行先登録装置４０から十分に離れた位置で行先登録操作を成立させることができ、接触による感染症のリスクを低減できる。 Here, the destination registration device 40 determines the degree of congestion of the riding basket and changes the distance threshold value and the time threshold value. Specifically, if the boarding basket is empty, the destination registration device 40 increases the distance threshold value and decreases the time threshold value. As a result, the passenger can complete the destination registration operation at a position sufficiently distant from the destination registration device 40, and can reduce the risk of infectious diseases due to contact.
　一方、距離閾値が大きく、時間閾値が小さいと、誤操作が発生する可能性がある。特に、乗カゴが混雑していれば、乗客の体や荷物が意図せず操作検知部に接近し、行先階を登録する操作であると誤って認識される可能性が高まる。そこで、行先登録装置４０は、乗カゴが混雑している場合には、距離閾値を小さく、時間閾値を大きくすることで、誤操作を防止する。 On the other hand, if the distance threshold is large and the time threshold is small, erroneous operation may occur. In particular, if the passenger basket is crowded, there is a high possibility that the passenger's body or luggage will unintentionally approach the operation detection unit and be mistakenly recognized as an operation for registering the destination floor. Therefore, when the car is crowded, the destination registration device 40 prevents erroneous operation by reducing the distance threshold value and increasing the time threshold value.
　このように、行先登録装置４０は、乗カゴの混雑度に応じて操作検知に係る距離閾値及び時間閾値を変更することで、誤操作を防止しつつ離隔した行先登録操作を実現している。 In this way, the destination registration device 40 realizes a separated destination registration operation while preventing erroneous operation by changing the distance threshold value and the time threshold value related to the operation detection according to the degree of congestion of the car.
　図２は、エレベータ管理システムの構成図である。図１に示すように、エレベータ管理システムは、運行管理装置１０、昇降制御装置３０、行先登録装置４０及びサービス要求装置５０を有する。 FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of an elevator management system. As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator management system includes an operation management device 10, an elevating control device 30, a destination registration device 40, and a service request device 50.
　昇降制御装置３０及び行先登録装置４０は、エレベータの乗カゴごとに設けられる。昇降制御装置３０は、運行管理装置１０からの指示を受けて乗カゴの昇降を制御する装置である。行先登録装置４０は、乗カゴの中で行先登録操作を受け付ける。 The elevating control device 30 and the destination registration device 40 are provided for each elevator car. The elevating control device 30 is a device that controls the elevating and lowering of the riding basket in response to an instruction from the operation management device 10. The destination registration device 40 accepts the destination registration operation in the boarding basket.
　サービス要求装置５０は、それぞれの階床（フロア）の乗り場ごとに設けられる。ここで、階床とは、エレベータが設置された建造物において、階層を成す床を識別するものである。エレベータの乗カゴは、階層状の床を上下方向に移動し、その際の現在地や行先階は階床により識別される。サービス要求装置５０は、行先階の方向（上方向及び／又は下方向）に対応するボタンを備えている。このボタンに対する操作が、乗客からエレベータに対するサービスの要求、すなわち「呼び」である。サービス要求装置５０は、ボタン操作を受け付けた場合に、サービス要求の受付を運行管理装置１０に通知する。このサービス要求の受付通知には、サービス要求を受け付けた乗り場の階床と行先階の方向が含まれる。 The service request device 50 is provided for each landing on each floor. Here, the floor is used to identify a floor that forms a floor in a building in which an elevator is installed. The elevator car moves up and down on the hierarchical floor, and the current location and destination floor at that time are identified by the floor. The service request device 50 includes buttons corresponding to the direction of the destination floor (upward and / or downward). The operation on this button is a service request from the passenger to the elevator, that is, a "call". When the service request device 50 receives the button operation, the service request device 50 notifies the operation management device 10 of the reception of the service request. The notice of acceptance of the service request includes the direction of the floor and the destination floor of the landing where the service request is accepted.
　運行管理装置１０は、サービス要求装置５０からサービス要求の受付通知を受信すると、各エレベータの現在位置や行先階等を参照し、サービス要求にエレベータを割り当てる。割り当てられたエレベータは、サービス要求元の階床を行先階として登録し、乗り場で待つ乗客を乗せることになる。 When the operation management device 10 receives the service request reception notification from the service request device 50, the operation management device 10 refers to the current position of each elevator, the destination floor, etc., and assigns the elevator to the service request. The assigned elevator will register the floor of the service request source as the destination floor and will carry passengers waiting at the platform.
　図３は、行先登録装置４０の構成図である。図３に示すように、行先登録装置は、荷重センサ４１、操作検知部４２、行先階表示部４３、混雑度判定部４４、閾値変更部４５及び登録部４６を有する。 FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of the destination registration device 40. As shown in FIG. 3, the destination registration device includes a load sensor 41, an operation detection unit 42, a destination floor display unit 43, a congestion degree determination unit 44, a threshold value change unit 45, and a registration unit 46.
　荷重センサ４１は、乗カゴにかかる荷重を検知するセンサである。操作検知部４２は、赤外線センサや静電容量センサ等であり、乗客が行先階を指定する操作を非接触で検知するために用られる。行先階表示部４３は、行先階の候補となる階床、すなわち乗カゴが停止可能な階床を表示する。 The load sensor 41 is a sensor that detects the load applied to the riding basket. The operation detection unit 42 is an infrared sensor, a capacitance sensor, or the like, and is used for non-contact detection of an operation in which a passenger designates a destination floor. The destination floor display unit 43 displays a floor that is a candidate for the destination floor, that is, a floor on which the boarding basket can be stopped.
　行先階表示部４３は、行先階の候補となる階床ごとに設けられ、行先階として登録された階床については点灯などを行う。また、操作検知部４２も、行先階表示部４３ごとに設けられるため、行先階の候補となる階床ごとに対応することになる。 The destination floor display unit 43 is provided for each floor that is a candidate for the destination floor, and lights up the floor registered as the destination floor. Further, since the operation detection unit 42 is also provided for each destination floor display unit 43, it corresponds to each floor that is a candidate for the destination floor.
　混雑度判定部４４は、乗カゴの混雑度を判定する処理部である。混雑度判定部４４は、荷重センサ４１の出力に基づいて、混雑度を判定する。乗カゴに乗客が多いほど、荷重センサ４１の出力は大きくなり、混雑度が上がる。混雑度が上がると、乗客の立つ位置や身動きが制限されるので、操作検知部４２の近傍に乗客が所在する可能性が上がり、誤検知が増加すると考えられる。 The congestion degree determination unit 44 is a processing unit for determining the congestion degree of the riding basket. The congestion degree determination unit 44 determines the congestion degree based on the output of the load sensor 41. The more passengers there are in the car, the higher the output of the load sensor 41 and the higher the degree of congestion. As the degree of congestion increases, the position and movement of passengers are restricted, so that the possibility that passengers are located in the vicinity of the operation detection unit 42 increases, and it is considered that false detections increase.
　閾値変更部４５は、混雑度判定部４４による判定結果に基づいて、操作の検知に係る距離閾値及び時間閾値を変更する。具体的には、閾値変更部４５は、混雑度が所定の閾値以上である場合の距離閾値を、混雑度が所定の閾値未満である場合の距離閾値よりも小さくする。また、閾値変更部４５は、混雑度が所定の閾値以上である場合の時間閾値を、混雑度が所定の閾値未満である場合の時間閾値よりも小さくする。 The threshold value changing unit 45 changes the distance threshold value and the time threshold value related to the detection of the operation based on the determination result by the congestion degree determination unit 44. Specifically, the threshold value changing unit 45 makes the distance threshold value when the degree of congestion is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value smaller than the distance threshold value when the degree of congestion is less than the predetermined threshold value. Further, the threshold value changing unit 45 makes the time threshold value when the degree of congestion is equal to or higher than the predetermined threshold value smaller than the time threshold value when the degree of congestion is less than the predetermined threshold value.
　登録部４６は、閾値変更部４５によって設定された距離閾値及び時間閾値を操作検知部４２の出力と比較することで、行先階を登録する操作であるか否かを識別する。その結果、行先階を登録する操作であるとの識別結果を得られた場合に、行先階の登録を行う。 The registration unit 46 identifies whether or not the operation is to register the destination floor by comparing the distance threshold value and the time threshold value set by the threshold value change unit 45 with the output of the operation detection unit 42. As a result, when the identification result that the operation is to register the destination floor is obtained, the destination floor is registered.
　具体的には、登録部４６は、いずれかの操作検知部４２が距離閾値よりも近くに所在する物体を検知し、その状態が時間閾値以上継続した場合に、当該操作検知部に対応づけられた階床を前記行先階として登録する。 Specifically, the registration unit 46 is associated with the operation detection unit when any of the operation detection units 42 detects an object located closer than the distance threshold value and the state continues for the time threshold value or longer. The floor is registered as the destination floor.
　なお、乗客が操作検知部４２の近傍によりかかった場合などには、乗客の意図に反する行先階の登録が発生する可能性がある。そこで、登録部４６は、行先階の登録後も所定時間以上にわたって操作検知部４２が距離閾値よりも近くに所在する物体を検知した状態を継続したときに、行先階の登録を解除する。このときの所定時間を便宜上、解除閾値という。解除閾値は、閾値変更部４５に設定される時間閾値よりも十分に大きくする。例えば、時間閾値を１秒以下の範囲で変更し、解除閾値を１０秒程度とする。 In addition, if the passenger is closer to the vicinity of the operation detection unit 42, there is a possibility that the registration of the destination floor contrary to the intention of the passenger may occur. Therefore, the registration unit 46 cancels the registration of the destination floor when the operation detection unit 42 continues to detect an object located closer than the distance threshold value for a predetermined time or longer even after the registration of the destination floor. The predetermined time at this time is called a release threshold value for convenience. The release threshold value is sufficiently larger than the time threshold value set in the threshold value change unit 45. For example, the time threshold is changed in the range of 1 second or less, and the release threshold is set to about 10 seconds.
　図４は、行先登録装置４０の操作盤面の具体例である。図４では、「Ｂ１」～「５Ｆ」の階床について、それぞれ対応する行先階表示部４３及び操作検知部４２が設けられている。また、図４では、「４Ｆ」が行先階として登録済みであり、「４Ｆ」の行先階表示部４３が点灯している。 FIG. 4 is a specific example of the operation panel surface of the destination registration device 40. In FIG. 4, the destination floor display unit 43 and the operation detection unit 42 corresponding to each of the floors “B1” to “5F” are provided. Further, in FIG. 4, "4F" is registered as the destination floor, and the destination floor display unit 43 of "4F" is lit.
　図５は、行先登録装置４０の処理手順を示すフローチャートである。図５では、混雑度に対する閾値としてＮ１、Ｎ２、Ｎ３を用いており、Ｎ１＜Ｎ２＜Ｎ３である。また、距離閾値として、ＤＳ、ＤＭ、ＤＬを用いており、ＤＳ＜ＤＭ＜ＤＬである。また、時間閾値としてＴＳ、ＴＭ、ＴＬを用いており、ＴＳ＜ＴＭ＜ＴＬである。行先登録装置４０は、図５に示す処理手順を所定の時間閣で繰り返し実行する。 FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the destination registration device 40. In FIG. 5, N1, N2, and N3 are used as the threshold values for the degree of congestion, and N1 <N2 <N3. Further, DS, DM, and DL are used as the distance threshold value, and DS <DM <DL. Further, TS, TM, and TL are used as the time threshold value, and TS <TM <TL. The destination registration device 40 repeatedly executes the processing procedure shown in FIG. 5 at a predetermined time.
　まず、行先登録装置４０の混雑度判定部４４は、荷重センサ４１の出力に基づいて、混雑度を判定する（ステップＳ１０１）。閾値変更部４５は、混雑度がＮ１よりも小さければ（ステップＳ１０２；Ｙｅｓ）、距離閾値をＤＬに設定し時間閾値をＴＳに設定する（ステップＳ１０３）。 First, the congestion degree determination unit 44 of the destination registration device 40 determines the congestion degree based on the output of the load sensor 41 (step S101). If the degree of congestion is smaller than N1 (step S102; Yes), the threshold value changing unit 45 sets the distance threshold value to DL and the time threshold value to TS (step S103).
　混雑度がＮ１以上Ｎ２未満であれば（ステップＳ１０２；Ｎｏ、Ｓ１０４；Ｙｅｓ）、閾値変更部４５は、距離閾値をＤＭに設定し時間閾値をＴＭに設定する（ステップＳ１０５）。混雑度がＮ２以上Ｎ３未満であれば（ステップＳ１０４；Ｎｏ、Ｓ１０６；Ｙｅｓ）、閾値変更部４５は、距離閾値をＤＳに設定し時間閾値をＴＬに設定する（ステップＳ１０７）。なお、混雑度がＮ３以上であれば、そのまま処理を終了する。 If the degree of congestion is N1 or more and less than N2 (step S102; No, S104; Yes), the threshold value changing unit 45 sets the distance threshold value to DM and the time threshold value to TM (step S105). If the degree of congestion is N2 or more and less than N3 (step S104; No, S106; Yes), the threshold value changing unit 45 sets the distance threshold value to DS and the time threshold value to TL (step S107). If the degree of congestion is N3 or higher, the process ends as it is.
　ステップＳ１０３、ステップＳ１０５又はステップＳ１０７の後、登録部４６は、各操作検知部４２について、操作検知部４２が検知した最も近い物体までの距離である検知距離が距離閾値未満であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１０８）。 After step S103, step S105 or step S107, the registration unit 46 determines whether or not the detection distance, which is the distance to the nearest object detected by the operation detection unit 42, is less than the distance threshold value for each operation detection unit 42. Determination (step S108).
　検知距離が距離閾値未満であれば（ステップＳ１０８；Ｙｅｓ）、登録部４６は、検知時間を加算する（ステップＳ１１０）。検知距離が距離閾値以上であれば（ステップＳ１０８；Ｎｏ）、登録部４６は、それまでに加算した検知時間をクリアして（ステップＳ１０９）、処理を終了する。 If the detection distance is less than the distance threshold value (step S108; Yes), the registration unit 46 adds the detection time (step S110). If the detection distance is equal to or greater than the distance threshold value (step S108; No), the registration unit 46 clears the detection time added up to that point (step S109), and ends the process.
　ステップＳ１１０の後、登録部４６は、検知時間が時間閾値以上となったか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１１１）。検知時間が時間閾値未満であれば（ステップＳ１１１；Ｎｏ）、登録部４６はそのまま処理を終了する。 After step S110, the registration unit 46 determines whether or not the detection time is equal to or longer than the time threshold value (step S111). If the detection time is less than the time threshold value (step S111; No), the registration unit 46 ends the process as it is.
　検知時間が時間閾値以上であれば（ステップＳ１１１；Ｙｅｓ）、登録部４６は、検知時間が解除閾値以上となったか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１１２）。検知時間が時間閾値以上であれば（ステップＳ１１２；Ｙｅｓ）、登録部４６は行先階を登録し（ステップＳ１１３）、処理を終了する。検知時間が時間閾値未満であれば（ステップＳ１１２；Ｎｏ）、登録部４６は行先階の登録を解除し（ステップＳ１１４）、処理を終了する。 If the detection time is equal to or longer than the time threshold value (step S111; Yes), the registration unit 46 determines whether or not the detection time is equal to or longer than the release threshold value (step S112). If the detection time is equal to or longer than the time threshold value (step S112; Yes), the registration unit 46 registers the destination floor (step S113) and ends the process. If the detection time is less than the time threshold value (step S112; No), the registration unit 46 cancels the registration of the destination floor (step S114), and ends the process.
（変形例）
　これまでの説明では、荷重センサ４１の出力を混雑度の判定に用いてきたが、混雑度は、乗カゴにおける乗客の立ち位置や身動きがどの程度制限されるかを示すものであり、荷重に限らず任意の指標を用いて判定することができる。例えば、乗カゴ内を撮像して判定してもよい。このとき乗客の数は少なくても、大きな荷物が載せられているなどの理由で乗客立ち位置や身動きが制限される状態であれば、混雑度が高いと判定する。また、複数の操作検知部４２の出力を混雑度の判定に用いてもよい。 (Modification example)
In the explanation so far, the output of the load sensor 41 has been used to determine the degree of congestion, but the degree of congestion indicates how much the passenger's standing position and movement in the passenger car are restricted, and the load The judgment can be made using any index without limitation. For example, the inside of the riding basket may be imaged for determination. At this time, even if the number of passengers is small, it is determined that the degree of congestion is high if the passenger standing position and movement are restricted due to reasons such as large luggage being loaded. Further, the outputs of the plurality of operation detection units 42 may be used for determining the degree of congestion.
　図６は、操作検知部４２の出力を混雑度の判定に用いる場合の構成例である。図６に示した構成では、操作検知部４２の出力が混雑度判定部４４と登録部４６の双方に入力されている。混雑度判定部４４は、複数の操作検知部４２の出力に基づいて混雑度を判定し、この混雑度に基づいて閾値変更部４５による閾値の設定が行われる。したがって、登録部４６は、複数の操作検知部４２の各々について、その検知出力を他の複数の操作検知部４２の検知出力と比較して行先階登録操作を識別することになる。 FIG. 6 is a configuration example in which the output of the operation detection unit 42 is used for determining the degree of congestion. In the configuration shown in FIG. 6, the output of the operation detection unit 42 is input to both the congestion degree determination unit 44 and the registration unit 46. The congestion degree determination unit 44 determines the congestion degree based on the outputs of the plurality of operation detection units 42, and the threshold value change unit 45 sets the threshold value based on the congestion degree. Therefore, the registration unit 46 identifies the destination floor registration operation by comparing the detection output of each of the plurality of operation detection units 42 with the detection outputs of the other plurality of operation detection units 42.
　図７は、変形例における操作検知の説明図である。図７では、操作検知部４２ａ、操作検知部４２ｂ、操作検知部４２ｃが、それぞれ最も近い物体までの距離である検知距離を出力している。乗客は、操作検知部４２ｂに対応する行先階表示部４３ｂに対して操作を行っているため、操作検知部４２ｂが出力する検知距離は、操作検知部４２ａ及び操作検知部４２ｃが出力する検知距離よりも著しく小さい。また、操作検知部４２ａ及び操作検知部４２ｃが出力する検知距離は、混雑している乗カゴ内では小さくなると考えられる。 FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of operation detection in the modified example. In FIG. 7, the operation detection unit 42a, the operation detection unit 42b, and the operation detection unit 42c each output the detection distance, which is the distance to the nearest object. Since the passenger is operating on the destination floor display unit 43b corresponding to the operation detection unit 42b, the detection distance output by the operation detection unit 42b is the detection distance output by the operation detection unit 42a and the operation detection unit 42c. Remarkably smaller than. Further, it is considered that the detection distance output by the operation detection unit 42a and the operation detection unit 42c is small in the crowded car.
　そこで、混雑度判定部４４が、複数の操作検知部４２（操作検知部４２ａ、操作検知部４２ｂ、操作検知部４２ｃ等）の出力を用いて混雑度を判定し、距離閾値を設定すれば、乗客による行先階登録操作を適正に検知することができる。 Therefore, if the congestion degree determination unit 44 determines the congestion degree using the outputs of the plurality of operation detection units 42 (operation detection unit 42a, operation detection unit 42b, operation detection unit 42c, etc.) and sets the distance threshold value, It is possible to properly detect the destination floor registration operation by passengers.
　上述してきたように、本発明によれば、エレベータの乗客による操作を受け付けて行先階を登録する行先登録装置４０が、前記エレベータの乗カゴの混雑度を判定する判定部としての混雑度判定部４４と、前記行先階を指定する操作を非接触で検知する操作検知部４２と、前記非接触での検知について、距離に関する閾値を前記混雑度に応じて変更する閾値変更部４５と、前記距離に関する閾値を満たす検知結果が得られた場合に、前記行先階を登録する登録部４６とを備える。かかる構成及び動作により、誤操作を防止しつつ離隔した行先登録操作が可能となる。 As described above, according to the present invention, the destination registration device 40 that accepts the operation by the passengers of the elevator and registers the destination floor is a congestion degree determination unit as a determination unit for determining the congestion degree of the elevator's boarding basket. 44, an operation detection unit 42 that non-contactly detects an operation for designating the destination floor, a threshold value change unit 45 that changes a threshold value regarding the distance according to the degree of congestion for the non-contact detection, and the distance. When a detection result satisfying the threshold value with respect to is obtained, the registration unit 46 for registering the destination floor is provided. With such a configuration and operation, it is possible to perform a remote destination registration operation while preventing an erroneous operation.
　また、前記閾値変更部４５は、前記混雑度が所定の閾値以上である場合の前記距離に関する閾値を、前記混雑度が前記所定の閾値未満である場合の前記距離に関する閾値よりも小さくするので、混雑しているときには誤操作を防止し、空いているときには操作盤面から十分に離隔して操作を検知することができる。 Further, the threshold value changing unit 45 makes the threshold value for the distance when the degree of congestion is equal to or higher than the predetermined threshold value smaller than the threshold value for the distance when the degree of congestion is less than the predetermined threshold value. When it is crowded, erroneous operation can be prevented, and when it is empty, the operation can be detected sufficiently separated from the operation panel surface.
　また、前記閾値変更部４５は、前記混雑度に応じて、前記非接触での検知についての時間に関する閾値をさらに変更するので、より高精度に誤操作を防止することができる。
　また、前記判定部は、前記乗カゴに設けられた荷重センサ４１の出力に基づいて前記混雑度を判定するので、乗カゴの既存の設備を有効利用して混雑度を判定することができる。
　また、前記判定部は、前記乗カゴ内を撮像して得られた画像に基づいて混雑度を判定してもよい。乗カゴ内の撮像は、例えば防犯目的で設置されたカメラにより行うことができる。 Further, since the threshold value changing unit 45 further changes the threshold value regarding the time for the non-contact detection according to the degree of congestion, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation with higher accuracy.
Further, since the determination unit determines the degree of congestion based on the output of the load sensor 41 provided in the riding basket, the existing equipment of the riding basket can be effectively used to determine the degree of congestion.
Further, the determination unit may determine the degree of congestion based on the image obtained by imaging the inside of the car. Imaging in the car can be performed by, for example, a camera installed for the purpose of crime prevention.
　また、前記操作検知部４２は、前記行先階の候補となる階床ごとに対応づけて設けられ、前記登録部４６は、いずれかの操作検知部４２が前記距離に関する閾値よりも近くに所在する物体を検知した場合に、当該操作検知部に対応づけられた階床を前記行先階として登録するので、行先階に対する操作を簡易且つ確実に検知することができる。 Further, the operation detection unit 42 is provided in association with each floor that is a candidate for the destination floor, and in the registration unit 46, one of the operation detection units 42 is located closer to the threshold value regarding the distance. When an object is detected, the floor associated with the operation detection unit is registered as the destination floor, so that the operation for the destination floor can be detected easily and reliably.
　また、前記登録部は、前記行先階の登録後も所定時間以上にわたって前記操作検知部が前記距離に関する閾値よりも近くに所在する物体を検知した状態を継続したときに、前記行先階の登録を解除するので、よりかかりなどによる乗客の意図しない登録を取り消すことができる。 Further, when the operation detection unit continues to detect an object located closer than the threshold value for the distance for a predetermined time or longer even after the registration of the destination floor, the registration unit registers the destination floor. Since it is canceled, it is possible to cancel the passenger's unintended registration due to a squeeze.
　また、前記判定部は、前記階床ごとに対応づけて設けられた複数の前記操作検知部４２による検知結果に基づいて、前記混雑度を判定することで、より簡易に混雑度を判定することができる。 Further, the determination unit determines the degree of congestion more easily by determining the degree of congestion based on the detection results of the plurality of operation detection units 42 provided in association with each floor. Can be done.

Moreover, not only the deletion of such a configuration but also the replacement or addition of the configuration is possible.
　例えば、行先階を登録するための物理ボタンをさらに設け、混雑度が所定値以上である場合には非接触による検知を停止して物理ボタンによる行先階登録操作を行わせる構成としてもよい。 For example, a physical button for registering the destination floor may be further provided, and when the degree of congestion is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the detection by non-contact may be stopped and the destination floor registration operation may be performed by the physical button.
