Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are assigned to common elements, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0011] Embodiment 1. Configuration of the elevator system according to the embodiment FIG. 1 is an external configuration diagram of an elevator system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The elevator system 100 includes two adjacent elevators installed in a building having a plurality of floors. On each floor, a landing 2 as an elevator hall is provided. In the following description, the elevator on the left side is referred to as the "first elevator 1a" and the elevator on the right side is referred to as the "second elevator 1b" as viewed from the user in the landing 2.

[0012] In each landing 2, landing doors 4a and 4b corresponding to the first elevator 1a and the second elevator 1b are provided side by side. On the wall surface 6 of the landing 2, landing push buttons 8a and 8b for calling the first elevator 1a and the second elevator 1b are provided. Further, on the wall surface 6 of the landing 2, above the space between the landing doors 4a and 4b, a hall lantern 10 is installed. The hall lantern 10 is a device that displays the operating status of the first elevator 1a and the second elevator 1b. Hereinafter, the configuration of the hall lantern 10 will be described in detail.

[0013] 2. Configuration of Hall Lantern FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the appearance of the hall lantern. FIG. 3 is a schematic configuration diagram of the hall lantern installed in the landing. Note that (A) in FIG. 3 is a front view of the hall lantern 10 installed on the wall surface 6 of the landing 2 as viewed from the landing 2, (B) in FIG. 3 is a left side view showing a partial perspective of the inside of the hall lantern 10, and (C) in FIG. 3 is a right side view showing a partial perspective of the inside of the hall lantern 10. Further, FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of the A-A cross section of the hall lantern in FIG. 3.

[0014] The hall lantern 10 mainly includes a front plate 12, a display plate 14, a case 16, a substrate 18, a plurality of light sources 20, a partition plate 22, and a control device 30. The front plate 12 is a rectangular frame-shaped member fixed to the wall surface 6 between the first elevator 1a and the second elevator 1b. Inside the frame of the front plate 12, the display plate 14 is fitted so as to protrude horizontally toward the front side from the front plate 12. The display plate 14 is a rectangular parallelepiped light guide formed of a transparent material such as acrylic or glass or a translucent material that transmits light.

[0015] The display plate 14 includes a surface 14d that protrudes to the front side of the front plate 12 as seen from the landing 2, a first side surface 14a that is exposed on the left side with respect to the surface 14d, that is, the side of the first elevator 1a, a second side surface 14b that is exposed on the right side with respect to the surface 14d, that is, the side of the second elevator 1b, and a back surface 14c that faces the surface 14d. The surface 14d is a shielding surface that shields the transmission of light. Such a surface 14d is formed, for example, by attaching or applying a shielding layer. The back surface 14c is a surface onto which the light irradiated from the plurality of light sources 20 is incident. The first side surface 14a is a surface that can be visually recognized by a user waiting to board in front of the first elevator 1a at the landing 2 and cannot be visually recognized by a user waiting to board in front of the second elevator 1b. On the other hand, the second side surface 14b is a surface that can be visually recognized by a user waiting to board in front of the second elevator 1b at the landing 2 and cannot be visually recognized by a user waiting to board in front of the first elevator 1a.

[0016] The case 16 is for housing the substrate 18, the plurality of light sources 20, and the control device 30 on the back side of the front panel 12. A plurality of light sources 20 are arranged on the substrate 18. The plurality of light sources 20 include a first light source group 20a for emitting light from the first side surface 14a and a second light source group 20b for emitting light from the second side surface 14b. Each of the plurality of light sources 20 is, for example, an LED. The first light source group 20a is composed of three or more light sources 20 and is arranged side by side along the vertical direction on the left side of the area facing the back surface 14c of the display panel 14. Similarly, the second light source group 20b is composed of three or more light sources 20 and is arranged side by side along the vertical direction on the right side of the area facing the back surface 14c of the display panel 14. The first light source group 20a and the second light source group 20b are each configured to be independently capable of emitting light.

[0017] A partition plate 22 is arranged between the first light source group 20a and the second light source group 20b. The partition plate 22 is a plate material that divides the area between the substrate 18 and the back surface 14c of the display panel 14 into the side where the first light source group 20a is arranged and the side where the second light source group 20b is arranged.

[0018] The control device 30 is a processing device that independently controls the light emitted from the first light source group 20a and the second light source group 20b. When the control device 30 causes the first light source group 20a to emit light, due to the functions of the shielding layer on the surface 14d and the partition plate 22, light is displayed only on the first side surface 14a and not on the surface 14d and the second side surface 14b. Similarly, when the control device 30 causes the second light source group 20b to emit light, light is displayed only on the second side surface 14b and not on the surface 14d and the first side surface 14a.

[0019] 3. Functional Configuration of the Elevator System in the Embodiment FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the elevator system in the embodiment. The elevator system 100 includes, as main configurations related to the control function, a control device 30, a first control panel 40a, a second control panel 40b, a first light source group 20a, and a second light source group 20b.

[0020] The first control panel 40a is a processing device for comprehensively controlling the operation of the car of the first elevator 1a. The first control panel 40a is configured to be capable of data communication with the control device 30 via a communication network such as a wired connection or the Internet. The first control panel 40a transmits a first operation signal including the moving direction and car position of the car of the first elevator 1a to the control device 30.

[0021] The second control panel 40b is a processing device for comprehensively controlling the operation of the car of the second elevator 1b. The second control panel 40b is configured to be capable of data communication with the control device 30 via a communication network such as a wired connection or the Internet. The second control panel 40b transmits a second operation signal including the moving direction and car position of the car of the second elevator 1b to the control device 30.

[0022] The control device 30 has the functions of a processing device as a computer. Typically, the control device 30 includes at least one processor 32 and at least one memory 34 coupled to the processor 32. The memory 34 stores at least one program 341 executable by the processor 32 and various related data 342. By the processor 32 executing the program 341, various processes by the processor 32 are realized.

[0023] FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram showing the functions realized by the processor 32 of the control device 30 executing the program 341. As shown in FIG. 6, the processor 32 includes a signal acquisition unit 321 and a light emission processing unit 322.

[0024] The signal acquisition unit 321 is a functional block for acquiring the first operation signal transmitted from the first control panel 40a and the second operation signal transmitted from the second control panel 40b. This process is hereinafter referred to as "signal acquisition process". The signal acquisition unit 321 acquires the first operation signal and the second operation signal at any time.

[0025] The light emission processing unit 322 generates an operation command for causing the light source 20 to emit light according to a specified light emission pattern based on the first operation signal and the second operation signal acquired by the signal acquisition unit 321, and causes the light source 20 to emit light according to the generated operation command. This process is hereinafter referred to as "light emission processing".

[0026] In the data 342 of the memory 34, as the specified light emission pattern, a first light emission pattern representing the moving direction of the car of the first elevator 1a included in the first operation signal and a second light emission pattern representing the moving direction of the car of the second elevator 1b included in the second operation signal are stored. The first light emission pattern further includes a first upward light emission pattern and a first downward light emission pattern, and the second light emission pattern includes a second upward light emission pattern and a second downward light emission pattern.

[0027] FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the first upward light emission pattern. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the first downward light emission pattern. The first upward light emission pattern is a light emission pattern that visually represents that the moving direction of the car is the upward direction. The first upward light emission pattern is, for example, a light emission pattern that repeats a light emission form in which the light sources of the first light source group 20a are sequentially emitted from the lower side to the upper side and stacked in the order of (a) to (f) in FIG. 7. The first downward light emission pattern is a pattern that visually represents that the moving direction of the car is the downward direction. The first downward light emission pattern is, for example, a light emission pattern that repeats a light emission form in which the light sources of the first light source group 20a are sequentially emitted from the upper side to the lower side and stacked in the order of (a) to (f) in FIG. 8. The second upward light emission pattern is, for example, a pattern in which the light sources of the second light source group 20b are emitted in the same manner as the first upward light emission pattern in FIG. 7, and the second downward light emission pattern is a pattern in which the light sources of the second light source group 20b are emitted in the same manner as the first downward light emission pattern in FIG. 8.

[0028] In the light emission process, when the moving direction of the car of the first elevator 1a included in the first operation signal is the upward direction, the light emission processing unit 322 causes the first light source group 20a to emit light according to the first upward light emission pattern, and when the moving direction is the downward direction, causes the first light source group 20a to emit light according to the first downward light emission pattern. Similarly, in the light emission process, when the moving direction of the car of the second elevator 1b included in the second operation signal is the upward direction, the light emission processing unit 322 causes the second light source group 20b to emit light according to the second upward light emission pattern, and when the moving direction is the downward direction, causes the second light source group 20b to emit light according to the second downward light emission pattern.

[0029] 4. Specific processes executed in the elevator system of the embodiment Hereinafter, with reference to the flowchart, the operation of displaying the moving direction of each car on the hall lantern 10 as the operation status of the first elevator 1a and the second elevator 1b will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a routine executed by the control device 30. The routine shown in FIG. 9 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle in the processor 32 of the control device 30.

[0030] The process of step S100 corresponds to the signal acquisition process executed in the signal acquisition unit 321. Specifically, in step S100, it is determined whether the first operation signal has been received. As a result, if the determination is affirmed, the process proceeds to step S102, and if the determination is not affirmed, the process proceeds to step S110.

[0031] The processes from step S102 to step S108 correspond to the light emission process executed in the light emission processing unit 322. Specifically, in step S102, it is determined whether the moving direction of the car included in the first operation signal is the upward direction. As a result, if the determination is affirmed, the process proceeds to step S104, and if the determination is not affirmed, the process proceeds to step S106.

[0032] In step S104, the first light source group 20a emits light according to the first upward emission pattern. In step S106, it is determined whether the moving direction of the cage included in the first operation signal is the downward direction. As a result, if the determination is affirmed, the process proceeds to step S108, and if the determination is not affirmed, the process proceeds to step S110. In step S108, the first light source group 20a emits light according to the first downward emission pattern.

[0033] The process of step S110 corresponds to the signal acquisition process executed in the signal acquisition unit 321. Specifically, in step S110, it is determined whether the second operation signal has been received. As a result, if the determination is affirmed, the process proceeds to step S112, and if the determination is not affirmed, the process of this routine ends.

[0034] The processes from step S112 to step S118 correspond to the light emission process executed in the light emission processing unit 322. Specifically, in step S112, it is determined whether the moving direction of the cage included in the second operation signal is the upward direction. As a result, if the determination is affirmed, the process proceeds to step S114, and if the determination is not affirmed, the process proceeds to step S116.

[0035] In step S114, the second light source group 20b emits light according to the second upward emission pattern. In step S116, it is determined whether the moving direction of the cage included in the second operation signal is the downward direction. As a result, if the determination is affirmed, the process proceeds to step S118, and if the determination is not affirmed, the process of this routine ends. In step S118, the second light source group 20b emits light according to the second downward emission pattern.

[0036] According to the light emission operation of the hall lantern 10 as described above, the moving directions of the first elevator 1a and the second elevator 1b can be independently displayed by a single hall lantern 10. Thereby, the number of hall lantern devices installed in the landing 2 can be reduced.

[0037] A user waiting to board in front of the first elevator 1a can recognize the moving direction of the car of the first elevator 1a by the light emission pattern displayed on the first side surface 14a. Similarly, a user waiting to board in front of the second elevator 1b can recognize the moving direction of the car of the second elevator 1b by the light emission pattern displayed on the second side surface 14b. Also, the light emission pattern displayed on the second side surface 14b cannot be visually recognized by a user waiting to board in front of the first elevator 1a, and the light emission pattern displayed on the first side surface 14a cannot be visually recognized by a user waiting to board in front of the second elevator 1b. Thereby, it is possible to prevent a user waiting to board at the landing 2 from misrecognizing the moving direction of the car displayed on the hall lantern 10.

[0038] According to the hall lantern 10 of the embodiment, the moving direction of the car can be expressed by a light emission pattern using a plurality of light sources 20. Thereby, since the common hall lantern 10 can be installed at the intermediate floor landing and the terminal floor landing, simplification of the system by integration of the installation equipment can be achieved.

[0039] 5. Modification The hall lantern 10 of the embodiment may adopt the following modified modes.

[0040] 5-1. Light source 20 The number and type of the light sources 20 can take various forms within the range capable of expressing the moving direction of the car. Also, the light emission pattern using the light sources 20 is not limited to the patterns illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 as long as it is a pattern capable of expressing the moving direction of the car.

[0041] 5-2. Light emission process In the light emission process, it may be possible to display the light of the light emission pattern in accordance with the landing timing of the basket. In this case, the light emission processing unit 322 of the control device 30 may calculate the landing timing of the basket in reverse from the basket position included in the first operation signal or the second operation signal, and display the light of the light emission pattern at a timing advanced by a predetermined time from the calculated landing timing.

[0042] 5-3. Control device 30 FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a modification example of the hardware resources of the control device. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the control device 30 includes a processing circuit 38 including, for example, a processor 32, a memory 34, and dedicated hardware 36. FIG. 10 shows an example in which a part of the functions of the control device 30 is realized by the dedicated hardware 36. All of the functions of the control device 30 may be realized by the dedicated hardware 36. As the dedicated hardware 36, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC, an FPGA, or a combination thereof can be adopted.

[0043] The control device 30 may be arranged outside the hall lantern 10. In this case, the control device 30 may be connected to the first light source group 20a and the second light source group 20b of the hall lantern 10 by wired communication or wireless communication.

[0044] 5-4. Elevator system 100 When the operations of the first elevator 1a and the second elevator 1b are monitored by a server arranged at a remote location or the like, the elevator system 100 may be configured to transmit the first operation signal and the second operation signal from the server to the control device 30 via a communication network. Note that the communication network may adopt a general communication method such as the Internet or short-range wireless communication.

[0045] There is no limitation on the functional arrangement of the control device 30. That is, part or all of the functions of the control device 30 may be arranged in the first control panel 40a or the second control panel 40b. Further, when the operations of the first elevator 1a and the second elevator 1b are monitored by a server arranged in a remote location or the like, part or all of the functions of the control device 30 may be arranged in the server.

[0046] 5-5. Partition plate 22 There is no limitation on the configuration of the partition plate 22. That is, the partition plate 22 can adopt various materials and configurations within the range that can partition the area between the substrate 18 and the surface 14d of the display plate 14 into the side where the first light source group 20a is arranged and the side where the second light source group 20b is arranged.
