Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、マンコンベア用照明制御装置に関し、特に大量連続輸送に好適なマンコンベア用照明制御装置に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
マンコンベアは一般に大量連続輸送に適した輸送機械であるが、乗客がいないときでも空運転されることがあり、これを防ぐため乗降口に乗客検出装置を設け、乗客がいないときにはマンコンベアを停止或いは低速にして省エネを図るのが一般的である。このように、マンコンベアの動力については省エネが図られるのに対して、照明については停止状態であってもマンコンベアが休止していると勘違いされないよう点灯したままとするのが一般的である。更に上記のようにマンコンベアが休止していると勘違いされて乗客に利用されないことを防ぐために乗客を誘導する表示装置のような照明装置が付加されているのが一般的である。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、従来のマンコンベア用照明制御装置では、上記のような表示装置を設置すれば、マンコンベアの照明装置はマンコンベア停止時にあっては消灯させると言う方策もあるが、頻繁な照明の点滅はランプ寿命を短くする恐れがあるとう問題点があった。マンコンベアの照明装置で欄干照明にあってはランプ本数も多く、特に動く歩道にあっては動力と同等以上の電力を消費するケースもある。一方、最近の蛍光灯等の照明装置ではインバータ点灯が採用されて省エネ化されおり、更に連続調光できるものもあり、照度を自由に設定することが可能である。しかしながら、このような従来のマンコンベア用照明制御装置では、照明装置、表示装置の観点からみると、依然として省エネ化には問題点があった。
【０００４】
この発明は、上記のような問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、照明装置、表示装置等の省エネに鑑み、乗客無時に照度を下げて省エネ化に寄与できるマンコンベア用照明制御装置を提供することを目的とする。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明に係るマンコンベア用照明制御装置は、マンコンベアに装備した各種照明装置および該マンコンベアを照明する建物側照明装置と、マンコンベア乗降口に設けられ、上記マンコンベアの利用者を検出する乗客検出装置と、上記乗客検出装置からの利用者有信号により上記マンコンベアを起動させ、上記乗客検出装置からの利用者無信号が一定期間継続すると上記マンコンベアを停止させる制御装置とを備えたマンコンベア用照明制御装置であって、上記制御装置が、利用者無状態が更に一定期間継続すると上記照明装置の照度を減少させ、上記乗客検出装置が利用者有信号を検出すると上記マンコンベアを起動させると共に上記照明装置の照度を増加させるものである。
【０００６】
また、この発明に係るマンコンベア用照明制御装置は、上記制御装置が、上記乗客検出装置の利用者有無信号で上記マンコンベアの速度を可変させ、利用者無信号により上記マンコンベアを停止状態または低速運転とし、利用者有信号によりマンコンベアの速度を増速させて定格速度運転させ、上記乗客検出装置の利用者有無信号に応じて上記照明装置の照度を調整するものである。
【０００７】
また、この発明に係るマンコンベア用照明制御装置は、上記制御装置が、上記マンコンベアが自動運転か否かを判別する運転モード判別部と、該運転モード判別部の判別結果が自動運転モードであれば上記乗客検出装置の動作を判別する乗客検出装置動作判別部と、該乗客検出装置動作判別部の判別結果に応じて上記マンコンベアを制御するマンコンベア制御部と、上記乗客検出装置動作判別部の判別結果に応じて上記各照明装置を制御する照明装置制御部とを備えたものである。
【０００８】
また、この発明に係るマンコンベア用照明制御装置は、上記マンコンベアの利用者を誘導する表示装置を備え、利用者有無信号に応じて該表示装置の照度を調整するものである。
【０００９】
また、この発明に係るマンコンベア用照明制御装置は、上記マンコンベア上の照度を検出する照度検出装置を備え、利用者有時の照度と利用者無後の休止時の照度を予め定め、上記マンコンベア上の照度を利用者有時と利用者無時の夫々について一定となるようにするものである。
【００１０】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施の形態を、図に基づいて説明する。
実施の形態１．
図１は、この発明の実施の形態１によるマンコンベア用照明制御装置を示す構成図である。
図１において、１はマンコンベア、２は欄干に設けられた照明装置、３はマンコンベア乗降口のクシ部を照明する照明装置である。４は乗降口に設置された乗客検出装置であって、ビーム５を遮ることで乗客、即ちマンコンベア１の利用者を検出し、マンコンベア１を後述の制御装置に起動させるものである。６は乗客検出装置４に設置した表示装置であって、乗客に自動運転および運転方向等を知らしめる誘導目的で設置されている。１０は乗客検出装置５の検出出力に基づいてマンコンベア１および照明装置２，３等を制御する制御装置である。この制御装置１０は一般的には上部マンホール下の機械室に設置されているが、図１ではマンコンベア１の上部近傍に設けた場合を示している。その設置するためのスペースを確保できる場所であればよく、例えばマンコンベア１の下部近傍に設けてもよい。
【００１１】
図２は、制御装置１０の具体例を示す機能ブロック図である。
図２において、１１はマンコンベア１が自動運転か否かを判別する運転モード判別部、１２は運転モード判別部１１から自動運転モードであることを受けると、乗客検出装置４が作動しているか否かを判別する乗客検出装置動作判別部、１３は乗客検出装置動作判別部１２の判別結果に応じてマンコンベア１を制御するマンコンベア制御部、１４は同じく乗客検出装置動作判別部１２の判別結果に応じて各照明装置２，３を制御する照明装置制御部である。
【００１２】
次に、動作について、図３のフローチャートを参照して説明する。
先ず、運転モード判別部１１において外部からの運転モード切り換え信号は自動運転モードか否かを判別し（ステップＳ１）、自動運転モードでなければ待機し、自動運転モードであれば乗客検出装置動作判別部１２において乗客検出装置４が作動したか否かを判別し（ステップＳ２）、乗客検出装置４が作動していれば、つまり乗客検出装置４が乗客を検出すると利用者有信号を発生して（ステップＳ２のＹＥＳ）マンコンベア制御部１３によりマンコンベア１を起動し、同時に照明装置制御部１４により照明装置２，３の照度をアップさせて（ステップＳ３）、次のステップＳ５に進む。一方、ステップＳ２で乗客検出装置４が作動していなければ、つまり乗客検出装置４が乗客を検出していなければ利用者無信号を発生し（ステップＳ２のＮＯ）、マンコンベア１が稼働しているか否かを判別し（ステップＳ４）、稼働していればステップＳ５に進む。
【００１３】
ステップＳ５では、乗客検出装置動作判別部１２により乗客検出装置４で乗客を検出しなくなってから設定時間Ａ経過したか否かを判別し、設定時間Ａが経過したら、つまり、乗客検出装置４からの利用者無信号が一定期間継続すると、マンコンベア制御部１３によりマンコンベア１の動作を停止する（ステップＳ６）。
【００１４】
次に、マンコンベア１の動作停止後、乗客検出装置動作判別部１２により乗客検出装置４で乗客を検出しなくなってから所定の設定時間Ａ経過したか否かを判別し、設定時間Ａが経過したら、マンコンベア制御部１３によりマンコンベア１の動作を停止する（ステップＳ６）。このマンコンベア１の動作停止後乗客検出装置動作判別部１２により所定の設定時間Ｂが経過したか否かを判別し（ステップＳ７）、この設定時間Ｂ経過後に、この間乗客検出装置４が乗客を検出しないと、照明装置制御部１４により照明装置２，３を制御して照度を落とし減光する（ステップＳ８）。その後、乗客検出装置４が乗客を検出すると、マンコンベア１は起動すると共に、照明装置２，３の照度を元の照度に上昇させる。
【００１５】
このようにして、本実施の形態では、マンコンベアの照明装置、表示装置の照度を乗客有無により調整することにより省エネを図ることができると共に照度を減光することにより、ランプ寿命を延ばすことができる。
【００１６】
実施の形態２．
なお、上記実施の形態１では、照明装置の一例として照明装置２，３を挙げたが、マンコンベア１の全ての照明、例えば乗降口でマンコンベア１のステップの下側から照明するデマケーションライト等も含まれるのは言うまでもない。また、マンコンベア１側だけでなく、マンコンベア１が設置されている建物側の天井照明であっても減光制御することも可能である。
【００１７】
また、上記実施の形態１においては、マンコンベア１の停止後、設定時間Ｂ経過後に減光制御としたが、Ｂ＝０即ち、マンコンベア停止即、減光制御としてもよいのは言うまでもない。また、上記実施の形態１では、便宜上、乗込み側の乗客検出装置４だけとして記載したが、逆乗込み側についても同様である。しかし、逆乗込み発生時で照明装置が減光されている場合には敢えて照明装置の照度を上昇させる必要はないのかも知れない。
【００１８】
また、表示装置６は乗客検出装置４に設置したもので、乗客に自動運転および運転方向等を知らしめる誘導目的で設置するものであるが、これも上記実施の形態１と同様、利用者無で減光させ、利用者有で元の照度にすることも可能である。しかし、この表示装置６は乗客誘導目的であるため、マンコンベア１に関わる照明装置と異なり、逆の照度制御とした方がよいのかも知れない。即ち、乗客有では敢えて乗客を誘導する必要がないため減光とし、乗客無で照度を上昇させて乗客を誘導する。
【００１９】
また、上記実施の形態１では、乗客有無でマンコンベア１を起動停止させる例を示したが、乗客有無に応じてマンコンベア１の速度を可変させるものにあっても同様、乗客有無に応じて照明装置２，３の照度を調整することも可能である。
【００２０】
また、上記実施の形態１では、何れも乗客有無に応じて予め設定されたランプ照度に制御する場合の例を示したが、マンコンベア１上に照度検出装置（図示せず）を設置し、乗客有無状態により夫々の照度値を既定してマンコンベア照明装置の照度制御することも可能である。これはマンコンベア１にあっては並設設置されるケースが多く、上記のようなマンコンベア１単体の照度制御するだけではマンコンベア１上の照度が並設マンコンベアの影響を受けるため、常に乗客有の照度と乗客無の照度の既定値を設定しておくもので、これにより常にマンコンベア１上の照度を一定に保つことが可能である。
【００２１】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、この発明によれば、マンコンベアに装備した各種照明装置および該マンコンベアを照明する建物側照明装置と、マンコンベア乗降口に設けられ、上記マンコンベアの利用者を検出する乗客検出装置と、上記乗客検出装置からの利用者有信号により上記マンコンベアを起動させ、上記乗客検出装置からの利用者無信号が一定期間継続すると上記マンコンベアを停止させる制御装置とを備えたマンコンベア用照明制御装置であって、上記制御装置が、利用者無状態が更に一定期間継続すると上記照明装置の照度を減少させ、上記乗客検出装置が利用者有信号を検出すると上記マンコンベアを起動させると共に上記照明装置の照度を増加させるので、乗客無時に照度を下げて省エネを図ることができると共に照度を減光することによりランプ寿命を延ばすことができるという効果がある。
【００２２】
また、この発明によれば、上記制御装置が、上記乗客検出装置の利用者有無信号で上記マンコンベアの速度を可変させ、利用者無信号により上記マンコンベアを停止状態または低速運転とし、利用者有信号によりマンコンベアの速度を増速させて定格速度運転させ、上記乗客検出装置の利用者有無信号に応じて上記照明装置の照度を調整するので、乗客無時に照度を下げて省エネ、ランプ寿命の延命に寄与できるという効果がある。
【００２３】
また、この発明によれば、上記制御装置が、上記マンコンベアが自動運転か否かを判別する運転モード判別部と、該運転モード判別部の判別結果が自動運転モードであれば上記乗客検出装置の動作を判別する乗客検出装置動作判別部と、該乗客検出装置動作判別部の判別結果に応じて上記マンコンベアを制御するマンコンベア制御部と、上記乗客検出装置動作判別部の判別結果に応じて上記各照明装置を制御する照明装置制御部とを備えたので、乗客無時に照度を下げて省エネ、ランプ寿命の延命に寄与できるという効果がある。
【００２４】
また、この発明によれば、上記マンコンベアの利用者を誘導する表示装置を備え、利用者有無信号に応じて該表示装置の照度を調整するので、乗客無時に照度を下げて省エネ、ランプ寿命の延命に寄与できるという効果がある。
【００２５】
また、この発明によれば、上記マンコンベア上の照度を検出する照度検出装置を備え、利用者有時の照度と利用者無後の休止時の照度を予め定め、上記マンコンベア上の照度を利用者有時と利用者無時の夫々について一定となるようにするので、常にマンコンベア上の照度を一定に保つことが可能であるという効果がある。

[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing a lighting control device for a man conveyor according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a man conveyor, 2 denotes a lighting device provided on a balustrade, and 3 denotes a lighting device for illuminating a comb portion of a man conveyor entrance. Reference numeral 4 denotes a passenger detection device installed at the entrance, which detects a passenger, that is, a user of the man conveyor 1 by blocking the beam 5, and activates the man conveyor 1 by a control device described later. Reference numeral 6 denotes a display device installed in the passenger detection device 4, which is installed for the purpose of guiding the passengers to the automatic operation and the driving direction. Reference numeral 10 denotes a control device that controls the man conveyor 1 and the lighting devices 2 and 3 based on the detection output of the passenger detection device 5. This control device 10 is generally installed in the machine room below the upper manhole, but FIG. 1 shows a case where it is provided near the upper portion of the man conveyor 1. Any place that can secure a space for the installation may be provided, for example, it may be provided near the lower portion of the man conveyor 1.
[0011]
FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram illustrating a specific example of the control device 10.
In FIG. 2, reference numeral 11 denotes an operation mode discriminating unit for discriminating whether or not the conveyer 1 is in an automatic operation, and 12 indicates whether or not the passenger detection device 4 is operating when receiving the automatic driving mode from the operation mode discriminating unit 11. A passenger detection device operation determination unit 13 for determining whether or not the passenger detection device operation determination unit 12 controls the man conveyor 1 according to the determination result of the passenger detection device operation determination unit 12, and 14 is a determination of the passenger detection device operation determination unit 12 similarly. The lighting device control unit controls the lighting devices 2 and 3 according to the result.
[0012]
Next, the operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, the operation mode switching unit 11 determines whether or not the external operation mode switching signal is the automatic operation mode (step S1). If the automatic operation mode is not set, the operation waits. If the automatic operation mode is set, the operation of the passenger detection device is determined. The unit 12 determines whether or not the passenger detection device 4 has been activated (step S2). If the passenger detection device 4 is activated, that is, if the passenger detection device 4 detects a passenger, a user presence signal is generated. (YES in step S2) The man conveyor 1 is activated by the man conveyor control unit 13, and at the same time, the illuminance of the lighting devices 2 and 3 is increased by the lighting device control unit 14 (step S3), and the process proceeds to the next step S5. On the other hand, if the passenger detecting device 4 is not operating in step S2, that is, if the passenger detecting device 4 has not detected a passenger, a no-user signal is generated (NO in step S2), and the man conveyor 1 operates. It is determined whether or not there is (Step S4), and if it is operating, the process proceeds to Step S5.
[0013]
In step S5, the passenger detection device operation determining unit 12 determines whether or not the set time A has elapsed since the passenger detection device 4 no longer detects a passenger, and when the set time A has elapsed, that is, from the passenger detection device 4, When the no-user signal continues for a certain period of time, the operation of the man conveyor 1 is stopped by the man conveyor control unit 13 (step S6).
[0014]
Next, after the operation of the conveyor 1 is stopped, it is determined by the passenger detection device operation determination unit 12 whether or not a predetermined set time A has elapsed since the passenger detection device 4 stopped detecting a passenger. Then, the operation of the man conveyor 1 is stopped by the man conveyor control unit 13 (step S6). After the operation of the conveyor 1 is stopped, the passenger detecting device operation determining unit 12 determines whether or not a predetermined set time B has elapsed (step S7). After the set time B has elapsed, the passenger detecting device 4 detects the passenger during this time. If not detected, the illuminating device controller 14 controls the illuminating devices 2 and 3 to reduce the illuminance and dimm the light (step S8). Thereafter, when the passenger detection device 4 detects a passenger, the conveyor 1 is activated and the illuminance of the lighting devices 2 and 3 is increased to the original illuminance.
[0015]
In this manner, in the present embodiment, it is possible to save energy by adjusting the illuminance of the lighting device of the conveyer and the display device according to the presence or absence of a passenger, and to extend the lamp life by dimming the illuminance. it can.
[0016]
Embodiment 2 FIG.
In the first embodiment, the lighting devices 2 and 3 have been described as an example of the lighting device. However, all the lighting of the conveyer 1, for example, a demarcation light that illuminates from the lower side of the step of the conveyer 1 at the entrance / exit. It goes without saying that these are also included. It is also possible to perform dimming control not only on the man conveyor 1 side but also on the ceiling lighting on the building side where the man conveyor 1 is installed.
[0017]
Further, in the first embodiment, the dimming control is performed after the set time B has elapsed after the stop of the man conveyor 1, but it goes without saying that the dimming control may be performed at B = 0, that is, immediately after the stop of the man conveyor. In the first embodiment, for convenience, only the passenger detection device 4 on the boarding side has been described, but the same applies to the reverse boarding side. However, it may not be necessary to increase the illuminance of the illuminating device when the illuminating device is dimmed when reverse entry occurs.
[0018]
The display device 6 is installed in the passenger detection device 4 and is installed for the purpose of guiding the passenger to the automatic driving and the driving direction, etc. As in the first embodiment, the display device 6 has no user. , And the original illuminance can be obtained with the user. However, since this display device 6 is for the purpose of guiding passengers, it may be better to perform reverse illuminance control, unlike the illumination device related to the conveyor 1. That is, since it is not necessary to guide the passengers with the passengers, it is dimmed, and the passengers are guided by increasing the illuminance without the passengers.
[0019]
Further, in the first embodiment, the example in which the man conveyor 1 is started and stopped according to the presence or absence of the passenger has been described. However, the speed of the man conveyor 1 may be changed according to the presence or absence of the passenger. It is also possible to adjust the illuminance of the lighting devices 2 and 3.
[0020]
Further, in the above-described first embodiment, an example in which the lamp illuminance is controlled to a preset lamp illuminance in accordance with the presence or absence of a passenger has been described. However, an illuminance detection device (not shown) is installed on the man conveyor 1, It is also possible to set the respective illuminance values according to the passenger presence / absence state and control the illuminance of the man-conveyor lighting device. This is because, in many cases, the illuminance on the man conveyor 1 is affected by the juxtaposed man conveyor only by controlling the illuminance of the man conveyor 1 alone. The default values of the illuminance with passengers and the illuminance without passengers are set, whereby the illuminance on the conveyor 1 can be kept constant at all times.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, according to the present invention, various lighting devices provided on a man conveyor, a building-side lighting device for illuminating the man conveyor, and a man conveyor provided at the entrance / exit to detect a user of the man conveyor A passenger detection device, and a control device for activating the man conveyor by a user presence signal from the passenger detection device and stopping the man conveyor when a user absence signal from the passenger detection device continues for a certain period of time. A lighting control device for a man conveyor, wherein the control device reduces the illuminance of the lighting device when the user absence state continues for a certain period of time, and when the passenger detection device detects a user presence signal, the control device controls the man conveyor. Since it is activated and the illuminance of the lighting device is increased, it is possible to reduce the illuminance when no passengers are present, thereby saving energy and reducing the illuminance. There is an effect that it is possible to extend the lamp life by.
[0022]
Further, according to the present invention, the control device varies the speed of the man conveyor by a user presence / absence signal of the passenger detection device, and sets the man conveyor to a stopped state or a low speed operation by a user absence signal, The speed of the conveyer is increased by the presence of a signal to operate at rated speed, and the illuminance of the lighting device is adjusted according to the presence / absence signal of the user of the passenger detection device.
