In addition, in each drawing, a part of the components may be omitted for ease of understanding, for example.

[0016] Terms including ordinal numbers such as the first, the second, etc. are used to describe various components. However, this term is used only for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another, and the components are not particularly limited by this term. Note that the number of components including ordinal numbers is not particularly limited, and for example, it may be one. Also, the ordinal numbers used in the following specification and drawings may be different from those described in the claims.

[0017] First, prior to explaining the configuration of the elevator according to the present invention, an overview of the elevator according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. Note that the following embodiments are exemplified to assist in understanding the configuration of the elevator and the like, and do not limit the configuration of the elevator according to the present invention.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an elevator 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, in the elevator 1, for example, an elevator car 4 that moves up and down in a hoistway 2 and a counterweight 6 are connected by a main rope 7. The main rope 7 is wound around a sheave 9 of a driving unit 8 provided in a machine room 3. A control device 10 provided in the machine room 3 rotates a motor (not shown) of the driving unit 8 to move the elevator car 4 up and down and land it on a landing 5. Note that FIG. 1 shows the elevator 1 having a machine room 3, but it may be a so-called machine-roomless elevator in which the machine room 3 is absent and the driving unit 8 and the control device 10 are installed in the hoistway 2.

[0019] In each figure, the first direction D1 is the frontage direction D1 that is parallel to the horizontal direction, the second direction D2 is the depth direction D2 that is parallel to the horizontal direction and perpendicular to the frontage direction D1, and the third direction D3 is the vertical direction that is perpendicular to the frontage direction D1 and the depth direction D2, which is the up-and-down direction D3.

[0020] Next, an overview of the elevator car 4 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 is a schematic view inside the elevator car 4 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The elevator car 4 has a pair of side walls 11A, 11B (referred to as 11 when there is no need to particularly distinguish), a rear wall 12, a ceiling 13, and a floor 16. The pair of side walls 11, the rear wall 12, and the ceiling 13 have a display unit 18 that displays images. In FIG. 2, kick plates 14 are provided at the lower ends of each of the pair of side walls, and a cover 15 that covers the operation detection unit 19 described in FIG. 3 from the inner chamber side (inside the elevator car 4) is provided in front of the lower end of the rear wall 12, covering the entire width from one horizontal end to the other end of the rear wall 12 where the operation detection unit 19 is provided.

Thereby, the images displayed on the display unit 18 can be displayed across the pair of side walls 11 to the rear wall 12, across the pair of side walls 11 to the ceiling 13, and across the rear wall 12 to the ceiling 13. In FIG. 2, for example, images of mountains, flowers, and butterflies are displayed across the connection portions. Note that, for example, the display unit 18 may be provided at least on the rear wall 12 side from the center of the depth direction D2 dimension of the pair of side walls 11 and the ceiling 13 above the kick plate 14, and on the entire surface of the rear wall 12 above the cover 15.

[0022] An example of the display unit 18 will be described with reference to FIG. 3 by taking the example of the rear wall 12. A plurality of LED visions 18A ··· 18E are installed on the rear wall 12 without gaps. In the case of FIG. 3, five rectangular LED visions 18A ··· 18E are installed in a stacked manner in the vertical direction. The LED visions 18A ··· 18E may be, for example, units in which LED elements with built-in RGB light-emitting elements are arranged at predetermined intervals.

[0023] In the present embodiment, an operation detection unit 19 is provided at approximately the lower end of the rear wall 12 and extends toward the inner chamber side in the depth direction D2 from the rear wall 12. The operation detection unit 19 is, for example, a ranging sensor. The ranging sensor can detect, for example, the size, position, moving direction, etc. of an object within an area based on the reflected light of the irradiated scanning laser beam returning from the object. In the present embodiment, the operation detection unit 19 detects the movement of a part of the user's body approaching the rear wall 12 at a predetermined distance. The predetermined distance may be the distance from the rear wall 12 to a cover 15 described later, or may be 200 mm or less from the rear wall 12.

[0024] Further, in the present embodiment, a cover 15 may be provided which stands upright from the floor 16 and faces the rear wall 12 with the operation detection unit 19 interposed therebetween. The cover 15 may extend at least above the operation detection unit 19. Further, the cover 15 may cover the entire width from one end to the other end in the horizontal direction (D1 direction) of the rear wall 12 where the operation detection unit 19 is provided. Thereby, in the front view (D2 view) of the rear wall 12, the cover 15 and the operation detection unit 19 overlap. Although the description has been made with respect to the rear wall 12, the LED visions 18A ··· 18E are similarly arranged on the pair of side walls 11 and the ceiling 13. In FIG. 2, kick plates 14 are provided at the lower ends of the pair of side walls 11, but the operation detection unit 19 and the cover 15 may be provided in the same manner as the rear wall 12. Further, the ceiling 13 may be provided with the LED visions 18A ··· 18E over the entire surface.

[0025] Next, details of the operation detection unit 19 and the cover 15 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional perspective view seen from the α direction in FIG. 3, FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view seen from the β direction in FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view seen from the γ direction in FIG. 4. The floor 16 is provided in a plate shape parallel to the horizontal directions D1 and D2 on the upper part of a floor reinforcing member 20. The rear wall 12 is composed of a base portion 12B erected on the floor 16 and a panel main body portion 12A placed and fixed on the upper part of the base portion 12B. The LED visions 18A ··· 18E are attached to the inner chamber side of the panel main body portion 12A.

[0026] An operation detection unit 19 is provided near the center in the horizontal direction D1 of the base portion 12B so as to protrude toward the inner chamber side. The cover 15 faces the base portion 12B of the back wall 12 with the operation detection unit 19 interposed therebetween, and includes a vertical cover portion 15A standing upright from the floor 16 and a horizontal cover portion 15B extending from the vertical cover portion 15A toward the base portion 12B and provided in contact with the base portion 12B. The horizontal cover portion 15B is provided in a portion excluding the operation detection unit 19 when viewed in the vertical direction D3. According to such a configuration, when the foot or the like of the user of the elevator 1 comes into contact with the vertical cover portion 15A, the back wall 12 supports the impact via the horizontal cover portion 15B, so that deformation of the vertical cover portion 15A can be reduced.

[0027] Further, the upper end of the vertical cover portion 15A may extend above the upper end of the operation detection unit 19 when viewed in the horizontal direction D1. Further, the horizontal cover portion 15B may be provided below the lower end of the operation detection unit 19 when viewed in the horizontal direction D1. According to such a configuration, the detection range of the operation detection unit 19 is not limited by the horizontal cover portion 15B.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 7, the control device 10 of the elevator 1 may include, for example, an operation detection unit 19 that detects movement of a part of the body of a user approaching a predetermined distance from the back wall 12. The configuration of the operation detection unit 19 is not particularly limited as long as it can detect movement of a part of the body of a user approaching a predetermined distance from the back wall 12. The operation detection unit 19 may be, for example, a millimeter wave radar or an ultrasonic sensor.

[0029] The processing unit 21 may include, for example, an acquisition unit 22 that acquires information from the operation detection unit 19, a storage unit 23 that stores information, an arithmetic unit 24 that calculates information, a display control unit 25 that controls the display of the display unit 18, a drive control unit 26 that controls the drive unit 8, and an output unit 27 that outputs commands of the display control unit 25 and the drive control unit 26.

[0030] Note that the processing unit 21 may be, for example, a computer including a processor such as a CPU and an MPU (for example, an arithmetic unit 24, a display control unit 25, a drive control unit 26), a memory such as a ROM and a RAM (for example, an acquisition unit 22, a storage unit 23), various interfaces (for example, the acquisition unit 22), and the like. Thereby, the processor executes the program stored in the memory, and each of the units 22 to 27 of the processing unit 21 is realized by the cooperation of software and hardware.

[0031] Further, the processing unit 21 may be constituted by, for example, a single control device 10, or may be constituted by, for example, a plurality of control devices 10 capable of communicating with each other. Specifically, each of the units 22 to 27 of the processing unit 21 may be provided in, for example, a single control device 10, or may be distributed and provided in, for example, a plurality of control devices 10 capable of communicating with each other.

[0032] The configuration of the elevator 1 according to the present embodiment is as described above. Next, the control of the elevator 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 8, and 9. Note that the following description is illustrative for helping the understanding of the control of the elevator 1 and does not limit the control of the elevator 1. The following description will be made with respect to the elevator 1 in which the display unit 18 is provided on the entire surface excluding the kick plates 14 and the covers 15 of a pair of side walls 11, the rear wall 12, and the ceiling 13 of the elevator car 4.

[0033] When the elevator car 4 of elevator 1 lands at the landing 5 where there is an elevator user, the elevator car and landing doors (hereinafter referred to as elevator doors) are opened. When the elevator doors are opened, images are displayed on a pair of side walls 11, a rear wall 12, and a ceiling 13 of the elevator car 4. When a user enters the elevator car 4 and the elevator doors close, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, destination floor registration displays 17A to 17C (hereinafter referred to as 17 when there is no need for distinction) indicating the destination floor are displayed on the rear wall 12. In the case of the embodiment of FIG. 8, a legislative body-shaped image with the number indicating the destination floor is floating while rotating. In the case of this embodiment, three destination floor registration displays 17 are displayed, a destination floor registration display 17A representing the first floor (departure floor), a destination floor registration display 17B representing the second floor, and a destination floor registration display 17C representing the third floor.

[0034] To move the user to the second floor, the user approaches the rotating destination floor registration display 17B. When the user's hand approaches a predetermined distance from the rear wall 12, the detection unit 19 detects that the user's hand has approached a predetermined distance from the destination floor registration display 17B, and the motion detection unit 19 outputs this information to the processing unit 21. The acquisition unit 22 of the processing unit 21 acquires this information, calls a program stored in the storage unit 23, and the arithmetic unit 24 identifies the destination floor from this information. Also, as shown in FIG. 9, based on this information, the display control unit 25 stops the rotation of the destination floor registration display 17B with a command output from the output unit 27, and displays the destination floor registration display 17B in a state where the destination floor display faces forward (2 in the case of this embodiment). Also, based on the identified destination floor, the drive control unit 26 drives the drive unit 8 with a command output from the output unit 27 to direct the elevator car 4 to the second floor, which is the destination floor.

[0035] [1] As described above, elevator 1, as in this embodiment, an elevator car 4 having a pair of side walls 11, a rear wall 12, a ceiling 13, and a floor 16 that move up and down in a hoistway 2, the pair of side walls 11, the rear wall 12, and the ceiling 13 are provided with a display unit 18 for displaying an image, The display unit 18 is in contact with the connection portions of the pair of side walls 11 and the rear wall 12, the connection portions of the pair of side walls 11 and the ceiling 13, and the connection portion of the rear wall 12 and the ceiling 13, respectively. An operation detection unit 19 that detects the movement of a part of the user's body approaching a predetermined distance to at least one of the pair of side walls 11 or the rear wall 12. The operation detection unit 19 is provided at a substantially lower end of the pair of side walls 11 or the rear wall 12, and the video of the display unit 18 may be changed according to the movement detected by the operation detection unit 19.

[0036] According to such a configuration, the user of the elevator 1 can actively participate in the production of the elevator car 4 to improve the riding comfort and habitability.

[0037] [2] A cover 15 may be provided that stands from the floor 16 and faces the pair of side walls 11 or the rear wall 12 with the operation detection unit 19 interposed therebetween.

[0038] According to such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the user's foot or the like of the elevator 1 from accidentally contacting the operation detection unit 19 and damaging the operation detection unit 19.

[0039] [3] The cover 15 may extend at least above the operation detection unit 19.

[0040] According to such a configuration, it becomes more difficult for the user's foot or the like of the elevator 1 to contact the operation detection unit 1, and it is possible to reduce the operation detection unit 19 from being damaged.

[0041] [4] The cover 15 may be provided across the entire width from one horizontal end to the other end of the pair of side walls 11 or the rear wall 12 where the operation detection unit 19 is provided.

[0042] According to such a configuration, the cover 15 will be in the form of a long plate at the lower ends of the pair of side walls 11 or the rear wall 12, similar to the kick plate 14, making it difficult for the feet etc. of the users of the elevator 1 to come into contact with the motion detection unit 1, and having a function of protecting the wall from contact by feet etc. similar to the kick plate 14.

[0043] [5] The motion detection unit 19 may be a ranging sensor having a detection range in a direction along the pair of side walls 11 or the rear wall 12.

[0044] According to such a configuration, the range for detecting the movement of the users of the elevator 1 is limited to the vicinity of the pair of side walls 11 or the rear wall 12, and false detection can be reduced.

[0045] Note that the elevator 1 according to the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, nor is it limited to the above-described effects. Also, it goes without saying that the elevator 1 can be variously modified within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, it goes without saying that one or more of the configurations and methods according to the following various modification examples can be arbitrarily selected and adopted in the configurations and methods according to the above-described embodiment.

[0046] (A) In the elevator 1 according to the above-described embodiment, an operation detection unit 19 for detecting the movement of a part of the user's body approaching a predetermined distance to either of the pair of side walls 11 or the rear wall 12 is provided at substantially the lower ends of the pair of side walls 11 or the rear wall 12. In a configuration where the video of the display unit 18 is changed according to the movement of a part of the user's body detected by the operation detection unit 19, when the user brings a hand close to a cubic-shaped video intended for destination floor registration, which shows a number indicating the destination floor rising while rotating and floating, the rotation of the cubic-shaped video stops and the destination floor is registered. However, the elevator 1 is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the video intended for destination floor registration may not be cubic but spherical, and when the user brings a hand close to the spherical video intended for destination floor registration, the spherical video bounces and the destination floor is registered.

[0047] (B) Also, in the elevator 1, the video of the display unit 18 that changes according to the movement of the user's body detected by the motion detection unit 19 is not limited to the configuration according to the above embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the user of the elevator 1 performs an operation of closing the outstretched hands that have approached the rear wall 12 with respect to the first video G1 being displayed on the rear wall 12, from both ends of the rear wall 12 (or the left and right including the pair of side walls 11), a second video G2 slides and replaces the first video G1. Such a configuration may also be used.

[0048] (C) Also, in the elevator 1, the video of the display unit 18 that changes according to the movement of the user's body detected by the motion detection unit 19 is not limited to the configuration according to the above embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the user of the elevator 1 performs an operation of pulling down the outstretched hand that has approached the rear wall 12 with respect to the first video G1 being displayed on the rear wall 12, from the upper end of the rear wall 12 (or the upper part including the ceiling 13), a third video G3 slides and replaces the first video G1. Such a configuration may also be used.

[0049] (D) Also, the elevator 1 in the above embodiment has a configuration in which the motion detection unit 19 is provided on the rear wall 12. However, the elevator 1 is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the motion detection unit 19 may be provided on the pair of side walls 11, or may have a configuration in which the motion detection unit 19 is provided on all of the pair of side walls 11 and the rear wall 12.

[0050] (E) Further, the elevator 1 in the above-described modification is configured to change from the first video G1 to the second video G2 or the third video G3 by an operation of closing the outstretched hands that the user of the elevator 1 has brought close to the rear wall 12 or an operation of pulling the hands down. However, the elevator 1 is not limited to such a configuration. For example, when the user brings a hand close to the rear wall 12 with respect to the first video G1, a video in which light scatters from that position may be displayed. For example, when the user brings a hand close to the rear wall 12 with respect to a video in which light particles pour down, the video may change to a video in which the light particles are blocked by the user's hand and be displayed. In short, any configuration may be used as long as the video changes in accordance with the movement of the hand that the user of the elevator 1 has brought close to the rear wall 12.

[0051] (F) Further, in the elevator 1 in the above-described embodiment, the first video G1 is displayed on the display unit 18. However, the first video G1 may change, for example, as the elevator car 4 moves up and down. Further, the configuration may be such that the video changes corresponding to the traveling speed of the elevator car 4.

[0052] (G) Note that, although the display unit 18 included in the elevator 1 in the above-described embodiment is provided with a plurality of LED visions 18A ··· 18E on the pair of side walls 11, the rear wall 12, and the ceiling 13, the display unit 18 may be configured by one LED vision that is displayed in a necessary range of the pair of side walls 11, the rear wall 12, and the ceiling 13. Further, although the display unit 18 included in the elevator 1 in the above-described embodiment has been described as an LED vision, it may be another display device such as a liquid crystal or an organic EL.

[0053] (H) Note that, for example, in the system and method shown in the claims, the specification, and the drawings, the execution order of each process such as operations, procedures, steps, and stages can be realized in any order as long as the result of the previous process is not used in the subsequent process. For example, even if described using "first", "next", etc. for convenience, it does not mean that it is essential to execute in this order.
