More particularly, the invention relates to a control apparatus for a passenger conveyor in which a plurality of operating modes including a conveying mode for operating at a speed at which passengers are conveyed and a standby mode for standing by while reducing power consumption are automatically switched over, and a passenger detecting device which is applicable to such a control apparatus.
- sensors are provided on poles provided at an entrance gate.
- the conveyor is in standby with the operation thereof stopped when no passengers are detected and the conveyor is operated at a rated speed when a passenger is detected by the sensors.
- the JEAS-410A of the Japanese Elevator Society standards define such a stop type automatic operating system as follows:
- the poles are located at a distance of 1.0 m or more from the handrail returning portions with the sensors being built therein.
- the automatic operation display lamp indicates the movement of the conveyor if the user is close thereto while the passenger is stopped.
- the operating direction display lamp indicates the regular set operating direction while the passenger conveyor is stopped and displays whether the riding direction is a regular direction or an opposite direction. In some cases, these display lamps are built into the poles.
- the guide railings are used to prevent the user from riding on the passenger conveyor without passing through the detecting device, and, at the same time, prevent the user from moving aside without riding on the passenger conveyor after being detected by the detecting device.
- a so-called low speed automatic operating system can also be provided in contrast to the above-described stop type automatic operation system.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-275990 shows a control method in which a passenger conveyor stands by at a low speed operation, is accelerated in accordance with a detection signal of a passenger detection device, and is again decelerated after a predetermined period of time.
- Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 5-5572 discloses a method in which after a passenger conveyor has been accelerated from a low speed operation by a VVVF inverter, the drive source is switched over to a commercial power source to thereby perform a rated speed operation.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 57-72581 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 61-162485 disclose a control method in which if no passengers are detected for a predetermined period of time while the passenger conveyor is standing by at low speed operation, operation is stopped and the conveyor stands by.
- the conveyor is stopped for the standby mode when it is not busy, as in the stop type automatic operating system, it is necessary to provide the automatic operation display lamps and the operating direction display lamps.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 55-161770, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 64-14784 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 4-58582 disclose a control method in which the operating speed is changed in accordance with the absence/presence of passengers.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-269882 discloses a control method in which, in accordance with an output from a device for detecting the number of the passengers per unit time the low speed operation is performed when there is no-load and the rated speed operation is performed when the passengers are detected.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 1-281288 discloses a method in which sensors are arranged at an end portion of the handrail and the ceiling, respectively, and when the passenger is detected by either one of the sensors, the operation is started.

- Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing a control apparatus for the passenger conveyor shown in Fig. 1.
- a signal from the passenger detecting devices 4 is output to a mode switching circuit 7.
- the mode switching circuit 7 switches the operating modes of a control apparatus body 8 in response to information from the passenger detecting devices 4.
- the control apparatus body 8 controls operation of the passenger conveyor with a plurality of operating modes including a standby mode for stopping operation for standby, an intermediate mode that may be switched to from the standby mode, a conveying mode switched to from the intermediate mode for conveying the passenger, and an alarm mode for warning a passenger who is about to ride on the conveyor from the exit gate that the operating direction is in reverse.
- the mode switching circuit 7 switches the operating mode to the intermediate mode in the case where a passenger is detected in the second zone 42 on the entrance gate side in the standby mode, and switches the operating mode to the conveying mode in the case where the passenger is detected in the first zone 41 on the entrance gate side in the intermediate mode.
- the passenger conveyor In the conveying mode, the passenger conveyor is operated at a rated speed for only a predetermined period of time (a period of time for passengers to be conveyed plus an additional period of time). Also, a sensor may be provided on the exit gate side so that the passenger conveyor is stopped in a predetermined time after the final passenger gets off.
- the passenger conveyor In the intermediate mode, the passenger conveyor is operated at a lower speed than that of the conveying mode. Also, when operating in the intermediate mode, if a predetermined time (for example, 0 to 10 seconds) when no passengers are detected in the first zone 41 and the second zone 42 passes, the operating mode of the control apparatus body 8 is returned back to the standby mode.
- a predetermined time for example, 0 to 10 seconds
- an alarm means 9 for alerting the passengers in the vicinity of the exit gate is connected to the control apparatus body 8.
- the alarm means 9 alerts passengers who are about to enter from the exit gate and informs them that the operating direction is opposite the reverse of their desired direction of travel.
- the alarm mode may, for example, alert passengers that the operating direction is in reverse by running the passenger conveyor faster than the intermediate mode without using the alarm means 9.
- the passenger detecting devices 4 and the display device are provided at the exit gate of the passenger conveyor in the same manner as the entrance gate.
- the passenger detecting devices 4 detect the presence/absence of the passengers in the first and second zones 41 and 42 of the exit gate side at the exit gate as well.

- the operating mode during standby is the standby mode (step S1).
- the operation of the passenger conveyor is stopped, and the absence/presence of a passenger within the second zone 42 is monitored (step S2). Unless a passenger is detected within the second zone 42, the operating mode remains in the standby mode.
- a timer for a second set time (for example, ten seconds) is started (step S3), and the absence/presence of a passenger within the second zone 42 is monitored (step S4).
- the operating mode is switched over to the intermediate mode (step S6). If a passenger is not detected, the timer is not reset and the operating mode is switched over to the intermediate mode (step S6).
- step S7 the absence/presence of the passenger within the first zone 41 is monitored (step S7). Consequently, unless a passenger is detected within the first zone 41, the counting operation of the timer confirms whether or not the second set time passes (step S8). Then, unless the second set time passes, the intermediate mode is continuously maintained, and the absence/presence of the passengers within the first and second zones 41 and 42 is monitored (steps S4 to S7). Also, if the second set time passes while no passengers are detected in the first and second zones 41, 42, the operating mode is returned back to the standby mode (step S1).
- a timer for a first set time (a time in excess of the time needed to convey a passenger) is started (step S9). Furthermore, the absence/presence of a passenger within the first zone 41 is monitored (step S10). At this time, when a passenger is detected, after the timer for the first set time is reset and started (step S11), the operating mode is switched over to the conveying mode (step S12). Moreover, if a passenger is not detected, the timer is not reset and the operating mode is switched over to the conveying mode (step S12).
- the counting operation of the timer confirms whether or not the first set time passes (step S13). Then, until the first set time passes, the absence/presence of the passenger within the first zone 41 is monitored (step S10). Also, if the first set time passes while a new passenger is not detected within the first zone 41, the absence/presence of the passenger within the second zone 42 is monitored (step S2). Unless the passenger is present in the second zone 42, the operating mode is returned back to the standby mode (step S1).
- the mode switching circuit 7 switches the operating mode to the intermediate mode.
- the mode switching circuit 7 switches the operating mode to the alarm mode so that the alarm is generated by the alarm means 9.
- the passenger conveyor In the alarm mode, the passenger conveyor is operated at the rated speed in the regular direction. However, if the predetermined time (for example, 3 to 10 seconds) when no passengers are detected the first zone 41 and the second zone passes, the operating mode of the control apparatus body 8 is returned back to the standby mode.
- the predetermined time for example, 3 to 10 seconds
- the operating mode is switched over to the intermediate mode.
- the low speed operation of the passenger conveyor is started in the regular direction.
- the passenger 14 can recognize that he was about to enter in the opposite direction and moves away from the exit gate as indicated by the arrow.
- the operating mode is switched over to the alarm mode in which the alarm is generated from the alarm means 9 and the passenger conveyor is operated at the rated speed.
- the passenger 15 can recognize that he was about to enter in the opposite direction and moves away from the exit gate as indicated by the arrow.
- the operating mode is switched over to the intermediate mode and the passenger conveyor is operated at the low speed when the passenger 16 enters the second zone 42.
- the operating mode is returned back to the standby mode and operation of the passenger conveyor is stopped.
- the low speed operation is started when the passenger reaches a position somewhat away from the entrance or exit gate, it is possible to prevent passengers from wrongly believing that the passenger conveyor is stopped. Furthermore, passengers may observe and confirm the operating direction when they enter the second zone 42. Accordingly, it is possible to use a relatively simplified display device 6 such as the automatic operation display lamp or the operating direction display lamp. Moreover, it is also possible to mount the device on a design element such as the balustrade 1.
- first and second zones 41 and 42 include the region outside of the handrail returning portions 2a on both sides, it is possible to detect a passenger who takes a detour to the entrance or exit gate from outside of the handrail returning portions 2a and to dispense with the guide railings.
- the passenger detecting devices 4 having the reflective photo detection system sensors are provided in the balustrade 1, it is unnecessary to provide equipment such as poles to incorporate the sensors.
- the structural elements for the passenger detecting devices 4 in the entrance and exit gates may be commonly used. It is therefore possible to facilitate maintenance and adjustment work and the like.
- first and second zones 41 and 42 on the entrance and exit gate sides are not limited to those shown in Fig. 1.
- the first zone 41 may be narrowed and the second zone 42 may be widened.
- the exit gate it is also possible to notify a passenger who takes a detour around the exit gate from outside of the curved handrail portions 2a, like passenger 17, that he is about to ride in the wrong direction by the low speed operation of the intermediate mode, and thereby prevent the passenger from riding in the wrong direction.
- a first sensor for detecting the absence/presence of the passenger within the first zone 41 and a second sensor (not shown) for detecting the absence/presence of the passenger within the second zone 42 are provided in the passenger detecting devices 4.

- the operating speed of the passenger conveyor when the passenger is detected within each sub-zone 42a, 42b such that the speed closer to the rated speed in the conveying mode in the sub-zone closer to the entrance/exit gates.
- Other structures are identical to Embodiment 1.
- the second zone 42 on the entrance gate side is divided into the two sub-zones 42a and 42b but it may also be divided into three or more sub-zones.
- the display contents of the display devices 6 may be automatically switched between the entrance gate side (the automatic operation display or the enter direction arrow or the like) and the exit gate side (do not enter display or the like). Also, if the first and second zones 41 and 42 are the same on the entrance gate side and the exit gate side, it is easy to switch the control methods therebetween.
- Embodiment 1 in the alarm mode, the alarm is generated and at the same time the operating speed is accelerated to the rated speed. However, it is possible to only generate the alarm while keeping the operating speed at the low speed without any change. Furthermore, in Embodiment 1, in the intermediate mode in the case where the passenger is detected within the second zone 42 on the exit gate side, the passenger conveyor is operated at the low speed. However, it is possible to perform the operation at the rated speed.

- the reflective photo detection type sensor is used as the second sensor 44 in Embodiment 1. Structures other than the above are the same as in Embodiment 1.
- the passenger passes across the space between the light emitting portion 43a and the light receiving portion 43b of the first sensor 43 so that the light input beam to the light receiving portion 43b is interrupted. It is thus possible to more positively detect that the passenger has entered the first zone 41.
- the first and second zones may be readily adjusted in response to the conditions of the entrance/exit gates of the passenger conveyor.
- the sensitivity of the sensors of the passenger detecting devices may be adjustable.
- the acceleration/deceleration of the passenger conveyor may be performed more moderately in accordance with the inverter control. Thus, it is possible to operate the passenger conveyor more safely and quietly.
- the acceleration (or deceleration) of the passenger conveyor may be set so that passengers will not fall down. For example, if the acceleration (or deceleration) is about 0.01 G to 0.02 G (0.1 to 0.2 sec/m 2 ), and the rated speed is 30 m/min, it takes about 2.5 to 5 seconds to accelerate the passenger conveyor from the stop condition to the rated speed. In contrast, if the transiting speed is 1.5 m/sec, since the passenger conveyor advances 3.8 m to 7.5 m in 2.5 to 5 seconds, after the first passenger rides thereon safely at the rated speed or lower, the passenger conveyor may be smoothly accelerated up to the rated speed.
