After the elapse of (3 seconds) (step S9), the door open mode is executed (step S10).
- a predetermined standby time for example, 0.

- the control device 46 changes from the above detection state.
- the door closing mode is executed after the first predetermined time has elapsed from the first non-detection timing that changes to the non-detection state. Further, if the door open sensor unit 35 re-detects the light blocking effect before the first predetermined time elapses, the door opening sensor unit 35 does not detect the light shielding again after the re-detection, and the second predetermined time elapses from the second non-detection timing. Later, the door closing mode is executed.
- the door close mode is not executed until a predetermined time has elapsed. .. Then, when the light-shielding is detected again by holding the hand again before the predetermined time elapses, the door closing mode is not executed until the predetermined time has elapsed after the light-shielding is not detected again.
- the sensor unit 45 does not detect light blocking and the door is not detected. Even if the closed mode is not started and the above-mentioned non-detection occurs, the door open state can be maintained by holding the hand over the door open sensor unit 35 again. Therefore, it is not necessary to continuously hold the hand over the door open sensor unit 35 while holding the car doors 22A and 22B in the door open state, and the door open state can be maintained by holding the hand over the door open sensor unit 35 from time to time. There is also an advantage.

- the passenger can easily grasp the detection status of the sensor unit 35 even when the passenger holds his / her hand over the door opening sensor unit 35.
- the passenger can quickly notice that the sensor unit 35 is reacting (light shielding detection). ..
- the control device 46 waits for the lapse of the first predetermined time and the second predetermined time, respectively, and emits a sound having a pattern different from the sound pattern generated in steps S5 and S10 from the speaker SP. It may be generated.
- This has the advantage that the door opening sensor unit 35 does not detect light shielding, and it is easy for passengers to know that the car doors 22A and 22B will open soon.
- the control device 46 in steps S5 and S10, the control device 46 generates an intermittent sound via the speaker SP during the execution of the door open mode, and at the same time, the guide lighting LM and the translucent portion 32L of the door open button 32. Although both are blinking, the above-mentioned intermittent sound may be generated and only one of them may be blinked. Further, the control device 46 may generate only intermittent sounds via the speaker SP and prevent the guidance illumination LM and the translucent unit 32L from blinking.
- both the first predetermined time and the second predetermined time are set to 3 seconds, but it may be set longer than 3 seconds depending on the usage status of the elevator 10. However, it may be set shorter than 3 seconds. Further, both predetermined times may be set to different lengths.

Description
本発明は、エレベータに関し、特に、かご扉の戸開操作に関する。
The present invention relates to an elevator, and particularly to a door opening operation of a car door.
エレベータのかご内や乗場には、かご操作盤や乗場操作盤が設置される。各操作盤には、例えば、行先階の数字などを表示した行先階釦、かご扉の開閉操作を行うための戸開釦や戸閉釦が設けられている。一例として、乗客は行先階釦を操作することで、昇降路を移動する乗りかごの行先階を登録する。この行先階釦には、押釦やタッチパネルといった接触式のものが広く採用されている。
A car operation panel and a landing operation panel will be installed in the elevator car and on the landing. Each operation panel is provided with, for example, a destination floor button displaying numbers on the destination floor, and a door open button and a door close button for opening and closing the car door. As an example, the passenger operates the destination floor button to register the destination floor of the car moving on the hoistway. Contact-type buttons such as push buttons and touch panels are widely used for the destination floor buttons.
また、近年では、公共施設等に設置されるエレベータにおいて、衛生面への配慮から、操作盤に配置された光電(非接触式)センサなどに手をかざすことによりかごの行先階登録の操作を非接触で行うことが可能な非接触式のかご操作盤も導入されつつある。このように行先階登録の操作を非接触で行う場合、乗客の手が操作部と接触しないため操作が受け付けられているか否か、乗客が把握し難いという問題がある。
In recent years, in elevators installed in public facilities, etc., in consideration of hygiene, the operation of registering the destination floor of the car is performed by holding a hand over a photoelectric (non-contact type) sensor placed on the operation panel. A non-contact type car operation panel that can be operated non-contact is also being introduced. When the operation of registering the destination floor is performed in a non-contact manner as described above, there is a problem that it is difficult for the passenger to grasp whether or not the operation is accepted because the passenger's hand does not come into contact with the operation unit.
特許文献1には、操作盤に配置された非接触式のセンサが行先階の登録操作を検知したときに同センサの周囲に配置された区切り線と行き先階の階数を示す数字部分が点灯することで登録操作が受け付けられたことを乗客が把握できるように構成されたエレベータが開示されている。
In Patent Document 1, when the non-contact type sensor arranged on the operation panel detects the registration operation of the destination floor, the dividing line arranged around the sensor and the numerical part indicating the floor number of the destination floor are lit. This discloses an elevator configured so that passengers can know that the registration operation has been accepted.
上記特許文献1に記載のエレベータのように、仮に、非接触式センサを用いてかご扉の戸開操作を行おうとした場合、乗客は非接触式センサに手をかざすなどして同センサに遮光を検知させ続ける必要がある。この際、非接触式センサ周辺に設けられた発光部を点灯させたとしても、同センサにかざしている手などの遮蔽物が乗客の視界を妨げやすい。そのため、非接触式センサ周辺に配置された発光部を乗客が視認し難い場合があり、同センサの検知状態を乗客が充分に把握できないという問題がある。
As in the elevator described in Patent Document 1, if a non-contact sensor is used to open the car door, passengers hold their hands over the non-contact sensor to block light from the sensor. It is necessary to keep detecting. At this time, even if the light emitting portion provided around the non-contact sensor is turned on, a shield such as a hand holding the sensor tends to obstruct the passenger's field of vision. Therefore, it may be difficult for the passenger to visually recognize the light emitting unit arranged around the non-contact type sensor, and there is a problem that the passenger cannot sufficiently grasp the detection state of the sensor.
本発明は、非接触式センサに遮蔽物を検知させることによりかご扉の戸開操作を非接触で行う場合において、非接触式センサの検知状態を乗客が容易に把握できるエレベータを提供することを目的とする。

If the door closing mode is executed to close the car door after the lapse of a predetermined time and the non-contact sensor re-detects the light blocking before the first predetermined time elapses, the non-contact sensor does not detect the light blocking after the re-detection. The door closing mode may be executed after the second predetermined time has elapsed from the second non-detection timing.

本発明のエレベータによれば、非接触式センサによる遮光検知に基づいてかご扉を戸開させるとともに所定の音を発生させる。これにより、乗客が非接触式センサに手などの遮蔽物をかざすなどしている状態でも同センサが遮蔽物を検知していることを乗客が容易に把握できる。
According to the elevator of the present invention, the car door is opened and a predetermined sound is generated based on the light-shielding detection by the non-contact sensor. As a result, the passenger can easily grasp that the sensor detects the shield even when the passenger holds a shield such as a hand over the non-contact sensor.
以下、本発明の一実施形態であるエレベータ10について、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、各図において、図中に示す「Z」は駆動シーブ18の軸方向と平行な水平方向Zを示し、「X」は水平方向Zに直交する水平方向Xを示し、「Y」は水平方向X、および水平方向Zに各々直交する上下方向Yを示すものとする。
Hereinafter, the elevator 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each figure, "Z" shown in the figure indicates a horizontal direction Z parallel to the axial direction of the drive sheave 18, "X" indicates a horizontal direction X orthogonal to the horizontal direction Z, and "Y" indicates a horizontal direction. It is assumed that the vertical direction Y is orthogonal to the direction X and the horizontal direction Z, respectively.
図1に示すように、エレベータ10は、昇降路12の最上部に機械室14を有するトラクション式エレベータであって、例えば、病院や介護施設など公共の建物に設置される。機械室14に設置された巻上機16の駆動シーブ18には、主ロープ20が掛けられており、この主ロープ20の一端部に乗りかご22が連結され、他端部にカウンターウェイト24が連結されている。
As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator 10 is a traction type elevator having a machine room 14 at the uppermost part of the hoistway 12, and is installed in a public building such as a hospital or a nursing facility, for example. A main rope 20 is hung on the drive sheave 18 of the hoisting machine 16 installed in the machine room 14, a car 22 is connected to one end of the main rope 20, and a counterweight 24 is attached to the other end. It is connected.
巻上機16のモータ(不図示)からの回転動力が、動力伝達機構(不図示)を介して駆動シーブ18に伝達され、駆動シーブ18が回転駆動されるとこれに伴って主ロープ20が走行し、主ロープ20に吊り下げられた乗りかご22が、ガイドレール(不図示)に案内されて昇降路12を上下方向Yに移動する。
The rotational power from the motor (not shown) of the hoisting machine 16 is transmitted to the drive sheave 18 via the power transmission mechanism (not shown), and when the drive sheave 18 is rotationally driven, the main rope 20 is accompanied by this. The car 22 that has traveled and is suspended from the main rope 20 is guided by a guide rail (not shown) and moves in the hoistway 12 in the vertical direction Y.
エレベータ10が設置された建物には、異なる階毎に乗場26A,26B,26C(以下、特に区別する必要が無い場合は適宜「乗場26」と表記)が設けられており、エレベータ10の運転中、乗りかご22は、現在、着床している階の乗場(図1では、乗場26C)から、次の行先階の乗場(例えば、乗場26A)までの昇降移動を繰り返す。
The building where the elevator 10 is installed is provided with landings 26A, 26B, 26C (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as "boarding area 26" if it is not necessary to distinguish them) on different floors, and the elevator 10 is in operation. The car 22 repeatedly moves up and down from the landing on the currently landing floor (landing 26C in FIG. 1) to the landing on the next destination floor (for example, landing 26A).
図2は、乗りかご22内のかご扉22A,22B周辺の構成を示す斜視図である。図2に示すように、乗りかご22の正面側に設けられた乗降口22G直上方に位置する垂れ壁22-1には案内用照明(発光部)LMが設けられている。また、乗降口22Gに隣接する袖壁22-2にはかご操作盤23が設けられている。かご操作盤23は、エレベータ10を利用する乗客が行先階の入力操作や、かご扉22A,22Bの開閉操作を行うための操作盤である。また、案内用照明LMは、ランプ(不図示)が内部に設置された透光性を有する細長いパネルによって構成され、例えば、かご扉22A,22Bの開閉動作時に点灯することで乗客にかご扉22A,22Bが動作中であることを報知する役割を有する。
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the configuration around the car doors 22A and 22B in the car 22. As shown in FIG. 2, a guide lighting (light emitting unit) LM is provided on the hanging wall 22-1 located directly above the entrance 22G provided on the front side of the car 22. Further, a car operation panel 23 is provided on the sleeve wall 22-2 adjacent to the entrance 22G. The car operation panel 23 is an operation panel for passengers using the elevator 10 to perform input operations on the destination floor and open / close operations of the car doors 22A and 22B. Further, the guidance lighting LM is composed of an elongated panel having a translucent property in which a lamp (not shown) is installed inside, and for example, the car door 22A is turned on when the car doors 22A and 22B are opened and closed to give passengers a car door 22A. , 22B has a role of notifying that it is in operation.
図3は、かご操作盤23の構成を示す正面図である。図3に示すように、かご操作盤23は、乗りかご22の行先階を決定するための入力操作や、かご扉22A,22Bの開閉操作を行う役割を有する操作部30が中央部に設けられている。操作部30は、押釦31A,31B,31C,…(以下、特に区別する必要が無い場合は押釦「31」と表記)が上下方向Yに沿って等間隔に配置される。そして、押釦31Aの直下方には、かご扉22A,22Bの戸開操作を行うための戸開釦32と、同扉22A,22Bの戸閉操作を行うための戸閉釦33が各々上下方向Yに沿って配置される。戸閉釦33の構成は、戸開釦32とほぼ同一であるため以下の説明では、戸開釦32の構成について主に説明を行い、戸閉釦33については適宜説明を省略する。
FIG. 3 is a front view showing the configuration of the car operation panel 23. As shown in FIG. 3, the car operation panel 23 is provided with an operation unit 30 having a role of input operation for determining the destination floor of the car 22 and opening / closing operations of the car doors 22A and 22B in the central portion. ing. In the operation unit 30, push buttons 31A, 31B, 31C, ... (Hereinafter referred to as push buttons "31" when it is not particularly necessary to distinguish them) are arranged at equal intervals along the vertical direction Y. Immediately below the push button 31A, a door opening button 32 for performing the door opening operation of the car doors 22A and 22B and a door closing button 33 for performing the door closing operation of the doors 22A and 22B are respectively in the vertical direction. Arranged along Y. Since the configuration of the door-open button 33 is almost the same as that of the door-open button 32, the configuration of the door-open button 32 will be mainly described in the following description, and the description of the door-close button 33 will be omitted as appropriate.
各押釦31と戸開釦32の右隣には、遮光を検知する行先階センサ部34A,34B,34C,…(以下、特に区別する必要が無い場合は行先階センサ部「34」と表記)と、行先階センサ部34と同様に遮光を検知する戸開センサ部(非接触式センサ)35とが各々設けられている。各行先階センサ部34は左側に隣接する各押釦31と同一の行先階操作を非接触で行う機能を有する。同様に、戸開センサ部35は戸開釦32と同一の戸開操作を非接触で行う機能を有する。
To the right of each push button 31 and door open button 32, destination floor sensor units 34A, 34B, 34C, ... And a door-opening sensor unit (non-contact type sensor) 35 that detects light blocking, similar to the destination floor sensor unit 34, are provided. Each destination floor sensor unit 34 has a function of performing the same destination floor operation as each push button 31 adjacent to the left side in a non-contact manner. Similarly, the door open sensor unit 35 has a function of performing the same door open operation as the door open button 32 in a non-contact manner.
ここで、各押釦31および戸開釦32は、各操作を受付けたことを報知する機能も有する。より具体的には、図3に示すように、各押釦31A,31B,31C,…は、正面側に行先階を示す数字の形をした透光部(発光部)L-1,L-2,L-3,…(以下、特に区別する必要が無い場合は「透光部L」と表記)が設けられている。そして、押釦31内部に設けられた不図示のランプが点灯することによって透光部Lが発光するように構成される。一方、戸開釦32も、押釦31と同様の構成を有し、正面側に矢印形をした透光部(透光部)32Lが設けられる。各透光部32Lは、発光可能に構成される。なお、本実施形態では、戸閉釦33には、戸開釦32と異なり同釦33に対応するセンサ部が設けられていないが、同釦33に対応するセンサ部を設けるものとしてもよい。
Here, each push button 31 and the door open button 32 also have a function of notifying that each operation has been accepted. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, each push button 31A, 31B, 31C, ... Is a translucent part (light emitting part) L-1, L-2 in the shape of a number indicating the destination floor on the front side. , L-3, ... (Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish them, they are referred to as "translucent portion L"). Then, the translucent portion L is configured to emit light when a lamp (not shown) provided inside the push button 31 is turned on. On the other hand, the door open button 32 also has the same configuration as the push button 31, and is provided with an arrow-shaped translucent portion (translucent portion) 32L on the front side. Each translucent portion 32L is configured to be capable of emitting light. In the present embodiment, unlike the door open button 32, the door close button 33 is not provided with the sensor unit corresponding to the button 33, but the door close button 33 may be provided with the sensor unit corresponding to the button 33.
そして、押釦31を押すことにより、或いは、行先階センサ部34が手などの遮蔽物を検出することにより、行先階の(呼び)登録が行われるとともに透光部Lが点灯する。これにより、各釦31を介して入力操作を行った際に、各入力操作の受付状況を利用者が目視で確認できる。また、同様に、戸開釦32を押すことにより、或いは、戸開センサ部35が、手などの遮蔽物による遮光を検出すると透光部32Lが点灯する。なお、本実施形態では、押釦31や戸開釦32などを用いているが、例えば、タッチセンサなどを用いてもよい。
Then, by pressing the push button 31 or by detecting a shield such as a hand by the destination floor sensor unit 34, the (call) registration of the destination floor is performed and the translucent unit L lights up. As a result, when the input operation is performed via each button 31, the user can visually confirm the acceptance status of each input operation. Similarly, when the door open button 32 is pressed or the door open sensor unit 35 detects light shielding by a shield such as a hand, the translucent unit 32L lights up. In this embodiment, the push button 31 and the door open button 32 are used, but for example, a touch sensor or the like may be used.
上述した行先階センサ部34および戸開センサ部35はほぼ同一の構成を具備するため、以下の説明では、主に行先階センサ部34の構成について説明を行い、戸開センサ部35については適宜説明を省略する。
Since the destination floor sensor unit 34 and the door open sensor unit 35 described above have almost the same configuration, the configuration of the destination floor sensor unit 34 will be mainly described in the following description, and the door open sensor unit 35 will be appropriately described. The explanation is omitted.
各行先階センサ部34には両端が同じ向きに湾曲するように形成された略矩形状の孔が設けられ、各矩形孔は、図3に示すように、透光性を有する保護プレート37A,37B,37C,…(以下、特に区別する必要が無い場合は「保護プレート37」と表記)によって各々覆われている。各行先階センサ部34の各矩形孔には、投光器と受光器が一体になった反射型光電センサが格納され、投光器から光を照射し、受光器が受光する物体からの反射光の受光量の変化に基づいて物体の有無を検出する。
Each destination floor sensor unit 34 is provided with substantially rectangular holes formed so that both ends are curved in the same direction, and each rectangular hole has a translucent protective plate 37A, as shown in FIG. They are covered with 37B, 37C, ... (Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish them, they are referred to as "protective plate 37"). A reflective photoelectric sensor in which a floodlight and a light receiver are integrated is housed in each rectangular hole of each destination floor sensor unit 34, and the amount of light received from an object received by the light receiver by irradiating light from the floodlight. The presence or absence of an object is detected based on the change in.
ここで、図4は、行先階センサ部34と検出領域Pの位置関係を模式的に示す断面図である。図4では、検出領域Pをハッチングで示すとともに、行先階センサ部34および検出領域P以外の構成については適宜省略して示している。図4に示すように、行先階センサ部34は、受光器側の受光量(センサの感度)を調整し、予め設定されている検出領域Pにおける物体(遮蔽物)による遮光を検出可能に構成される。そして、この検出領域Pは、図4に示すように、0mm≦X1<X2としたときに行先階センサ部34から水平方向Xに距離X1だけ離れた位置から同方向XにX2だけ離れた位置までを含む空間領域となるように設定される。
Here, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the positional relationship between the destination floor sensor unit 34 and the detection area P. In FIG. 4, the detection area P is shown by hatching, and the configurations other than the destination floor sensor unit 34 and the detection area P are appropriately omitted. As shown in FIG. 4, the destination floor sensor unit 34 adjusts the amount of light received on the receiver side (sensor sensitivity) so that light blocking by an object (shield) in the preset detection area P can be detected. Will be done. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, this detection region P is a position separated by X2 in the same direction X from a position separated by a distance X1 in the horizontal direction X from the destination floor sensor unit 34 when 0 mm ≦ X1 <X2. It is set to be a spatial area including up to.
図3に示すように、かご操作盤23は、さらに、表示部44を有する。表示部44は、例えば、液晶ディスプレイからなり、例えば、乗りかご22の移動(昇降)方向や乗りかご22の通過階、その他乗客に報知する情報を表示する。表示部44は、操作部30よりもさらに上方の乗客から見やすい位置に設けられている。図3に破線で示すように、かご操作盤23には音声を出力するスピーカ(音発生部)SPが内蔵されている。このスピーカSPは、かご扉22A,22Bの戸開動作や戸閉動作などを乗客に報知するための音を発生させる役割を有する。
As shown in FIG. 3, the car operation panel 23 further has a display unit 44. The display unit 44 comprises, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays, for example, the moving (elevating) direction of the car 22, the passing floor of the car 22, and other information to be notified to passengers. The display unit 44 is provided at a position that is easy for passengers to see above the operation unit 30. As shown by the broken line in FIG. 3, the car operation panel 23 has a built-in speaker (sound generation unit) SP that outputs sound. This speaker SP has a role of generating a sound for notifying passengers of a door opening operation or a door closing operation of the car doors 22A and 22B.
上記構成からなるかご操作盤23は、機械室14(図1参照)に設置された制御装置46(図1参照)と電気的に接続されている。制御装置46は、かご操作盤23などを介して行われる入力操作などに対応して行われる行先階登録に基づいて乗りかご22の運行制御を行うコンピュータであり、CPU、メモリなどを備えている。メモリには、例えば、巻上機16の駆動制御、かご扉22A,22Bの開閉制御、各押釦31の透光部L、戸開釦32の透光部32Lや案内用照明LMの点灯制御、スピーカSPなどを各々制御するため各種制御プログラムが格納されている。CPUが、これらのプログラムをメモリから読み出して実行することにより、制御装置46によるエレベータ10の円滑な運転が実現される。
The car operation panel 23 having the above configuration is electrically connected to the control device 46 (see FIG. 1) installed in the machine room 14 (see FIG. 1). The control device 46 is a computer that controls the operation of the car 22 based on the destination floor registration performed in response to an input operation performed via the car operation panel 23 or the like, and includes a CPU, a memory, and the like. .. The memory includes, for example, drive control of the hoisting machine 16, opening / closing control of the car doors 22A and 22B, translucent portion L of each push button 31, translucent portion 32L of the door opening button 32, and lighting control of the guidance lighting LM. Various control programs are stored to control each speaker SP and the like. When the CPU reads these programs from the memory and executes them, the smooth operation of the elevator 10 by the control device 46 is realized.
そして、エレベータ10では、かご扉22A,22Bの開閉制御も制御装置46によって行われる。制御装置46のメモリには、乗りかご22の行先階登録に関する制御プログラムが格納されている。制御装置46は、CPUが当該制御プログラムをメモリから読み出し、戸開モードや、戸閉モードを実行する。ここで、戸開モードとは、かご扉22A,22Bを戸開方向に移動させるとともに同扉22A,22Bを戸開状態で保持するためのモードである。また、戸閉モードとは、かご扉22A,22Bを戸閉方向、換言すると、全閉状態となる方向に移動させるためのモードである。
Then, in the elevator 10, the opening / closing control of the car doors 22A and 22B is also performed by the control device 46. In the memory of the control device 46, a control program related to registration of the destination floor of the car 22 is stored. In the control device 46, the CPU reads the control program from the memory and executes the door open mode or the door close mode. Here, the door open mode is a mode for moving the car doors 22A and 22B in the door open direction and holding the doors 22A and 22B in the door open state. Further, the door closing mode is a mode for moving the car doors 22A and 22B in the door closing direction, in other words, in the direction in which the car doors are fully closed.
ここで、図5を用いて、制御装置46における戸開センサ部35を用いたかご扉22A,22Bの開閉制御の流れについて説明を行う。図5は、戸開センサ部35が遮光を検知したときの制御装置46によるかご扉22A,22Bの開閉制御の流れを示すフローチャートである。
Here, with reference to FIG. 5, the flow of opening / closing control of the car doors 22A and 22B using the door opening sensor unit 35 in the control device 46 will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of opening / closing control of the car doors 22A and 22B by the control device 46 when the door opening sensor unit 35 detects light blocking.
図5に示すように、制御装置46は、戸開センサ部35が遮光を検知した場合に、戸開可能な状態であるか否かを判断する(ステップS1,S2)。戸開可能な状態とは、乗りかご22が乗場26に着床しており、かつ、強制的に戸閉状態を維持する必要が無い状態を含む。これにより、戸開センサ部35が遮光を検知しても、乗りかご22が戸開可能な状態でない場合に報知音が鳴ることがなく、また、戸開釦32の透光部32Lや案内用照明LMが点滅することもない。このため、乗りかご22内の乗客に不要な案内がなされることがない。
As shown in FIG. 5, when the door opening sensor unit 35 detects light blocking, the control device 46 determines whether or not the door can be opened (steps S1 and S2). The state in which the door can be opened includes a state in which the car 22 is landed on the landing 26 and it is not necessary to forcibly maintain the door closed state. As a result, even if the door open sensor unit 35 detects light blocking, the notification sound does not sound when the car 22 is not in the door openable state, and the translucent unit 32L of the door open button 32 and the guide are used. The lighting LM does not blink. Therefore, unnecessary guidance is not given to the passengers in the car 22.
ステップS2において、制御装置46は、戸開可能な状態と判断すると戸閉モードの実行中を除いて所定の待機時間経過後に戸開モードを実行する(ステップS3,S4,S5)。一方、制御装置46は、戸閉モードの実行中の場合は所定の待機時間の経過を待たずに戸開モードを実行する(ステップS3,S5)。
In step S2, when the control device 46 determines that the door can be opened, the control device 46 executes the door open mode after a predetermined standby time elapses, except during the execution of the door close mode (steps S3, S4, S5). On the other hand, when the door closing mode is being executed, the control device 46 executes the door opening mode without waiting for the elapse of a predetermined waiting time (steps S3 and S5).
ステップS5において、制御装置46は、戸開モードを実行する際にスピーカSPを介して所定の報知音を発生させるとともに、戸開釦32の透光部32L(図3参照)および垂れ壁22-1の案内用照明LM(図2参照)を点滅させる。所定の報知音は、例えば、「ピ・ピ・ピ・・・」という断続音である。これにより、乗客が手を戸開センサ部35にかざしている状態で戸開釦32の透光部32Lが視認し難い状況でも戸開センサ部35の検知状況を容易に把握できる。
In step S5, the control device 46 generates a predetermined notification sound via the speaker SP when the door open mode is executed, and at the same time, the translucent portion 32L (see FIG. 3) of the door open button 32 and the hanging wall 22-. The guidance lighting LM (see FIG. 2) of No. 1 is blinked. The predetermined notification sound is, for example, an intermittent sound such as "pi-pi-pi ...". As a result, the detection status of the door open sensor unit 35 can be easily grasped even in a situation where the translucent unit 32L of the door open button 32 is difficult to see while the passenger is holding his / her hand over the door open sensor unit 35.
上記断続音の代わりにスピーカSPを介して連続音や、かご扉22A,22B(図2参照)が戸開動作中であることを案内する音声案内を放送するようにしてもよい。上述したように所定の報知音を戸開モード実行中に発生させることにより、例えば、乗客の荷物が戸開センサ部35に検知されるなどして戸開モードが実行された場合にも戸開センサ部35が荷物を検知していることに乗客がいち早く気づくことができる。そして、戸開センサ部35の検出領域から乗客が荷物を退避させることで戸開モードを速やかに終了させ、エレベータ10の運行を円滑なものにできるという利点もある。
Instead of the above-mentioned intermittent sound, a continuous sound or voice guidance indicating that the car doors 22A and 22B (see FIG. 2) are in the door opening operation may be broadcast via the speaker SP. By generating a predetermined notification sound during the execution of the door opening mode as described above, the door is opened even when the door opening mode is executed, for example, when the passenger's luggage is detected by the door opening sensor unit 35. Passengers can quickly notice that the sensor unit 35 is detecting the cargo. Further, there is an advantage that the passenger can evacuate the luggage from the detection area of the door open sensor unit 35 to promptly end the door open mode and smooth the operation of the elevator 10.
次に、図5に示すように、制御装置46は、戸開センサ部35が遮光を検知しなくなると(ステップS6)、遮光を検知しなくなったタイミング(第1の非検知タイミング)から第1所定時間(例えば、3秒)の経過後に戸閉モードを実行する(ステップS7,S15)。
Next, as shown in FIG. 5, when the door opening sensor unit 35 stops detecting light blocking (step S6), the control device 46 first stops from the timing when the light blocking is no longer detected (first non-detection timing). After a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) has elapsed, the door closing mode is executed (steps S7 and S15).
上記構成により、戸開センサ部35の検出領域にかざしている手を乗客がうっかり同領域外に移動させるなどしたために戸開センサ部35が遮光を検知しなくなったとしても第1所定時間の経過後にしか戸閉モードが開始されない。
With the above configuration, even if the door open sensor unit 35 does not detect light blocking due to the passenger inadvertently moving the hand held over the detection area of the door open sensor unit 35 out of the same area, the first predetermined time has elapsed. The door closing mode can only be started later.
ここで、上述したステップS6において戸開センサ部35が遮光を検知しなくなったときに、換言すると、遮光を検知しなくなったタイミングで制御装置46はステップS5で発生させた報知音や案内用照明LMの点滅を停止させるのが好ましい。これにより、戸開センサ部35が遮光を検知していないことに乗客がすぐに気づくことができる。
Here, when the door opening sensor unit 35 no longer detects light blocking in step S6 described above, in other words, the control device 46 generates a notification sound or guidance lighting in step S5 at the timing when the light blocking is no longer detected. It is preferable to stop the blinking of the LM. As a result, the passenger can immediately notice that the door opening sensor unit 35 has not detected light blocking.
また、制御装置46は、上述したステップS5で実行している戸開モードをステップS7で第1所定時間が経過してから終了する、換言すると、ステップS15の戸閉モードに遷移するまで実行する。これにより、第1所定時間が経過するまでかご扉22A,22Bを戸開状態に保持できる。
Further, the control device 46 executes the door opening mode executed in step S5 described above after the first predetermined time has elapsed in step S7, in other words, until the door closing mode of step S15 is entered. .. As a result, the car doors 22A and 22B can be held in the open state until the first predetermined time elapses.
上記構成によれば、かご扉22A,22Bを戸開状態に保ちつつ、乗客が戸開状態を延長したい場合には戸開センサ部35の検出領域に再度手をかざすなどの対応を取りやすく、乗客の意図に反して戸閉モードが実行されるといったことが発生するのを抑制できる。
According to the above configuration, when the passenger wants to extend the door open state while keeping the car doors 22A and 22B in the door open state, it is easy to take measures such as holding the hand over the detection area of the door open sensor unit 35 again. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of the door closing mode being executed against the intention of the passenger.
一方、制御装置46は、図5に示すように、第1所定時間の経過前に戸開センサ部35が遮光を再検知した場合には(ステップS8)、所定の待機時間(例えば、0.3秒)の経過後(ステップS9)、戸開モードを実行する(ステップS10)。
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the door opening sensor unit 35 rediscovers the light blocking effect before the elapse of the first predetermined time (step S8), the control device 46 has a predetermined standby time (for example, 0. After the elapse of (3 seconds) (step S9), the door open mode is executed (step S10).
ステップS10において、制御装置46は、戸開モードを実行する際、ステップS5の場合と同様にスピーカSPを介して報知音を発生させるとともに案内用照明LMおよび戸開釦32の透光部32Lを点滅させる。これにより、ステップS5の場合と同様に、戸開センサ部35による遮光検知状態を乗客が容易に把握することができる。
In step S10, when the control device 46 executes the door open mode, the control device 46 generates a notification sound via the speaker SP as in the case of step S5, and also performs the guidance lighting LM and the translucent portion 32L of the door open button 32. Make it blink. As a result, as in the case of step S5, the passenger can easily grasp the light-shielding detection state by the door opening sensor unit 35.
そして、制御装置46は、図5に示すように、戸開センサ部35が遮光を検知しなくなると(ステップS11)、同検知が停止したタイミング(第2の非検知タイミング)からの時間を計測し、計測した時間(以下、「計測時間」と表記)が第2所定時間(例えば、3秒)を経過した後(ステップS12)、戸閉モードを実行する(ステップS15)。
Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the control device 46 measures the time from the timing at which the detection is stopped (second non-detection timing) when the door open sensor unit 35 stops detecting the light blocking (step S11). Then, after the measured time (hereinafter referred to as “measurement time”) elapses for the second predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) (step S12), the door closing mode is executed (step S15).
ここで、制御装置46は、ステップS10でスピーカSPを介して発生させていた報知音や、案内用照明LMおよび戸開釦32の透光部32Lの点滅を、ステップS11で戸開センサ部35による遮光検知が停止したときに終了させる。このため、乗客は戸開センサ部35が遮光を検知していないことを容易に把握できる。一方、制御装置46は、ステップS12で第2所定時間が経過してステップS15に遷移するまでの間、ステップS10で実行している戸開モードを引き続き実行する。これにより、第2所定時間が経過するまでかご扉22A,22Bを戸開状態で保持できる。この結果、戸開状態を延長したい場合には、戸閉モードが実行される前に戸開センサ部35の検出領域に乗客が手をかざすといった対応を取りやすい。
Here, the control device 46 blinks the notification sound generated via the speaker SP in step S10, the guidance lighting LM, and the translucent portion 32L of the door open button 32, and the door open sensor unit 35 in step S11. It ends when the light blocking detection by is stopped. Therefore, the passenger can easily grasp that the door opening sensor unit 35 has not detected light blocking. On the other hand, the control device 46 continues to execute the door open mode executed in step S10 until the second predetermined time elapses in step S12 and the transition to step S15. As a result, the car doors 22A and 22B can be held in the open state until the second predetermined time elapses. As a result, when it is desired to extend the door open state, it is easy for the passenger to hold his / her hand over the detection area of the door open sensor unit 35 before the door close mode is executed.
制御装置46は、図5に示すように、上記第2所定時間が経過する前に戸開センサ部35が遮光を再検知すると(ステップS13)、ステップS12で計測していた上記計測時間をリセット、すなわち、計測時間を0秒に設定する(ステップS14)。これにより、ステップS13で遮光を再検知した後に戸開センサ部35が遮光を検知しなくなった場合においても、その後、ステップS12で第2所定時間(例えば、3秒)の経過を待って戸閉モードを実行することができる。
As shown in FIG. 5, when the door opening sensor unit 35 re-detects the light blocking effect before the second predetermined time elapses (step S13), the control device 46 resets the measurement time measured in step S12. That is, the measurement time is set to 0 seconds (step S14). As a result, even if the door open sensor unit 35 does not detect the light blocking after re-detecting the light blocking in step S13, the door is closed after waiting for the lapse of the second predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) in step S12. The mode can be executed.
続いて、制御装置46は、図5に示すように、ステップS10に戻り、再度、戸開モードを実行し、報知音を発生させ、案内用照明LMおよび戸開釦32の透光部32Lを点滅させる。
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5, the control device 46 returns to step S10, executes the door open mode again, generates a notification sound, and transmits the guide lighting LM and the translucent portion 32L of the door open button 32. Make it blink.
そして、制御装置46は、戸開センサ部35の遮光を検知しなくなったタイミングから同センサ部35が再度遮光を検知することなく第2所定時間(例えば、3秒)が経過すると(ステップS11,S12)、戸閉モードを実行し(ステップS15)、一連のかご扉22A,22Bの開閉制御処理が終了する。
Then, when the second predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses without the sensor unit 35 detecting the light blocking again from the timing when the control device 46 no longer detects the light blocking of the door opening sensor unit 35 (step S11, S12), the door closing mode is executed (step S15), and the opening / closing control processing of the series of car doors 22A and 22B is completed.
上述したように、制御装置46は、戸開モード中に戸開センサ部35が遮光を検知している検知状態から遮光を検知していない非検知状態に変化した場合には、上記検知状態から非検知状態に変化する第1の非検知タイミングから第1所定時間経過後に戸閉モードを実行する。また、第1所定時間経過前に戸開センサ部35が遮光を再検知した場合には再検知後に戸開センサ部35が遮光を再び検知しなくなる第2の非検知タイミングから第2所定時間経過後に戸閉モードを実行する。
As described above, when the control device 46 changes from the detection state in which the door opening sensor unit 35 detects light shielding to the non-detection state in which light shielding is not detected during the door opening mode, the control device 46 changes from the above detection state. The door closing mode is executed after the first predetermined time has elapsed from the first non-detection timing that changes to the non-detection state. Further, if the door open sensor unit 35 re-detects the light blocking effect before the first predetermined time elapses, the door opening sensor unit 35 does not detect the light shielding again after the re-detection, and the second predetermined time elapses from the second non-detection timing. Later, the door closing mode is executed.
これにより、乗客が手などを戸開センサ部35にかざしているときに同センサ部35の検出領域外に手を移動させた場合などでも所定時間の経過後でなければ戸閉モードは実行されない。そして、所定時間経過前に再び手をかざすなどして遮光を再検知させた場合には、再び遮光を検知しなくなってから所定時間が経過した後でなければ戸閉モードが実行されない。
As a result, even if the passenger moves his / her hand out of the detection area of the sensor unit 35 while holding his / her hand over the door open sensor unit 35, the door close mode is not executed until a predetermined time has elapsed. .. Then, when the light-shielding is detected again by holding the hand again before the predetermined time elapses, the door closing mode is not executed until the predetermined time has elapsed after the light-shielding is not detected again.
このため、乗客が戸開センサ部35にかざしている手を意図せずに検出領域外に移動させてしまった場合などにおいて、同センサ部45が遮光を検知しない非検知となったタイミングで戸閉モードが開始されず、また、上記非検知となった場合でも、再度、戸開センサ部35に手をかざすなどすれば戸開状態を維持することが可能となる。従って、かご扉22A,22Bを戸開状態に保持する間、続けて戸開センサ部35に手をかざし続ける必要は無く、ときどき戸開センサ部35に手をかざすことで戸開状態を維持できるという利点もある。
Therefore, when the passenger unintentionally moves his / her hand over the door open sensor unit 35 out of the detection area, the sensor unit 45 does not detect light blocking and the door is not detected. Even if the closed mode is not started and the above-mentioned non-detection occurs, the door open state can be maintained by holding the hand over the door open sensor unit 35 again. Therefore, it is not necessary to continuously hold the hand over the door open sensor unit 35 while holding the car doors 22A and 22B in the door open state, and the door open state can be maintained by holding the hand over the door open sensor unit 35 from time to time. There is also an advantage.
本実施形態のエレベータ10によれば、戸開センサ部35による遮光検知に基づいてかご扉22A,22Bを戸開させるとともに所定の(断続)音を発生させる。これにより、乗客が手を戸開センサ部35にかざすなどしている状態でも同センサ部35の検知状況を乗客が容易に把握できる。また、乗客が意図せずに戸開センサ部35に遮光を検知させてしまっている場合などにおいて、同センサ部35が反応(遮光検知)していることに乗客がいち早く気づくことが可能となる。
According to the elevator 10 of the present embodiment, the car doors 22A and 22B are opened and a predetermined (intermittent) sound is generated based on the light blocking detection by the door opening sensor unit 35. As a result, the passenger can easily grasp the detection status of the sensor unit 35 even when the passenger holds his / her hand over the door opening sensor unit 35. In addition, when the passenger unintentionally causes the door opening sensor unit 35 to detect light shielding, the passenger can quickly notice that the sensor unit 35 is reacting (light shielding detection). ..
上記実施形態のステップS7,S12において、制御装置46は、各々第1所定時間、第2所定時間の経過を待つ間、ステップS5,S10において発生させる音のパターンと異なるパターンの音をスピーカSPから発生させてもよい。これにより、戸開センサ部35が遮光を検知しておらず、まもなくかご扉22A,22Bが戸開することを乗客が把握しやすいという利点がある。
In steps S7 and S12 of the above embodiment, the control device 46 waits for the lapse of the first predetermined time and the second predetermined time, respectively, and emits a sound having a pattern different from the sound pattern generated in steps S5 and S10 from the speaker SP. It may be generated. This has the advantage that the door opening sensor unit 35 does not detect light shielding, and it is easy for passengers to know that the car doors 22A and 22B will open soon.
上記実施形態では、ステップS5,S10において、制御装置46は、戸開モードの実行中にスピーカSPを介して断続音を発生させるとともに、案内用照明LMと戸開釦32の透光部32Lの双方を点滅させているが、上記断続音を発生させるとともにいずれか一方のみ点滅させてもよい。また、制御装置46は、スピーカSPを介して断続音のみ発生させ、案内用照明LMおよび透光部32Lを点滅させないようにしてもよい。
In the above embodiment, in steps S5 and S10, the control device 46 generates an intermittent sound via the speaker SP during the execution of the door open mode, and at the same time, the guide lighting LM and the translucent portion 32L of the door open button 32. Although both are blinking, the above-mentioned intermittent sound may be generated and only one of them may be blinked. Further, the control device 46 may generate only intermittent sounds via the speaker SP and prevent the guidance illumination LM and the translucent unit 32L from blinking.
上記実施形態では、第1所定時間および第2所定時間をいずれも3秒とする例を挙げて説明しているが、エレベータ10の使用状況などに応じて3秒よりも長く設定してもよいし、3秒よりも短く設定してもよい。また、両所定時間を異なる長さに各々設定してもよい。
In the above embodiment, an example in which both the first predetermined time and the second predetermined time are set to 3 seconds is described, but it may be set longer than 3 seconds depending on the usage status of the elevator 10. However, it may be set shorter than 3 seconds. Further, both predetermined times may be set to different lengths.
本発明は、その趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で当業者の知識に基づいて種々なる改良、修正、又は変形を加えた態様でも実施できる。また、同一の作用又は効果が生じる範囲内で、何れかの発明特定事項を他の技術に置換した形態で実施しても良い。
The present invention can also be carried out in a mode in which various improvements, modifications, or modifications are added based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Further, within the range in which the same action or effect is produced, any of the invention-specific matters may be replaced with another technique.
