Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a non-contact operation panel control device, an elevator, and a method for controlling a non-contact operation panel. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, an increasing number of elevators have adopted contactless destination floor registration devices to prevent virus infection through touching buttons. In contactless destination floor registration devices, a contactless sensor is provided on or near each destination floor button to detect the proximity of a user's finger. Then, a control device for the contactless operation panel (hereinafter referred to as a contactless operation panel control device) registers the floor associated with the destination floor button as a destination floor based on the detection result of the contactless sensor.

[0003] However, depending on the position of the user's finger or arm when held over the non-contact sensor, the non-contact sensor may react to a destination floor that the user did not intend to register. In this case, a floor different from the user's intention may be mistakenly registered as the destination floor.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses an elevator control panel that performs control not to accept a contactless operation when a contactless operation detection unit detects the contactless operation in at least one of a first period from a predetermined time before the time point when the contact operation is detected to the time point, and a second period from the time point until the predetermined time after the time point.The technology described in Patent Document 1 has the effect of reducing false detection of contactless operations in an elevator equipped with a control panel that can detect contact operations and contactless operations.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7006758 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Incidentally, some elevators have floor cutoff floors set up. Floor cutoff floors are floors to which elevator service is not provided, i.e., floors where the elevator is prohibited from stopping. When a specific floor is set up as a floor cutoff floor, calls to that floor will not be registered in the elevator even if that floor is selected via the destination floor registration device.

[0007] For example, when a non-contact sensor associated with a destination floor button for a floor cut floor reacts, the elevator control device controls the car to make an announcement to the user through a speaker in the car informing the user that the elevator will not stop at this floor. By performing such control, the user can understand that the floor they were trying to register as a destination floor is a floor where the elevator will not stop (a floor that cannot be registered as a destination floor).

[0008] However, even if a user places their finger close to a destination floor button for a serviced floor, the non-contact sensor associated with a nearby destination floor button for a floor cut floor may also react at the same time. In this case, even though the response light indicating that the destination floor registration has been completed is lit, an announcement (notification) is made at the same time that the specified floor cannot be registered. When such an announcement is made, the user may mistakenly believe that the floor they intended to register is a floor where the elevator will not stop.

[0009] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above situation, and an object of the present invention is to prevent the execution of erroneous notifications in elevators having non-contact control panels. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to solve the above problems and achieve the object of the present invention, the non-contact operation panel control device of the present invention is a non-contact operation panel control device that controls a non-contact operation panel equipped with a plurality of non-contact sensors respectively corresponding to a plurality of destination floors of an elevator, and is equipped with a destination floor registration processing unit that registers the floor corresponding to the non-contact sensor that detected the input as a destination floor, and an alarm unit that notifies users in the elevator car.The destination floor registration processing unit determines that the destination floor is a floor-cut floor when both a first non-contact sensor corresponding to a service floor where elevator service is provided and a second non-contact sensor corresponding to a floor-cut floor where elevator service is not provided detect an input. It will not stop on that floor. The notification unit is not caused to issue a notification indicating this. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent erroneous notifications from being made in an elevator having a non-contact control panel. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, examples of modes for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments") will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and various numerical values ​​in the embodiments are merely examples. Furthermore, in this specification and drawings, identical components or components having substantially the same functions will be designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0014] <Elevator configuration> First, the configuration of an elevator according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an elevator 100. As shown in Fig. 1, the elevator 100 includes a car 1, a hoisting machine 4, a control panel 5, and a hall operating panel 8.

[0015] The car 1 moves up and down in an elevator shaft (not shown) formed inside a building, carrying people, luggage, etc. A main rope 3 with a counterweight 2 at its end is connected to the top surface of the car 1, and the main rope 3 is wound around a hoisting machine 4. The operation of the hoisting machine 4 is controlled by a control controller 6 in a control panel 5, causing the car 1 to move up and down in the elevator shaft. The car 1 also has an in-car operation panel 7 (an example of a non-contact operation panel) equipped with non-contact destination floor buttons.

[0016] The control panel 5 is provided in a machine room or the like in a building, and has a control controller 6. The control controller 6 (an example of a non-contact operation panel control device) controls the operation of each part that constitutes the elevator 100. The control controller 6, for example, performs a process of registering a destination floor in the car 1 based on a call from the hall operation panel 8 or the car operation panel 7, controls the lifting and lowering operation of the car 1, adjusts the lifting and lowering speed of the car 1, and controls the operation of various devices or equipment provided in the car 1.

[0017] <Configuration of the car control panel> Next, the configuration of the in-car operation panel 7 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the in-car operation panel 7. As shown in Fig. 2, the in-car operation panel 7 includes a display unit 71, a non-contact destination floor button 72, an open button 75, and a close button 76.

[0018] The display unit 71 is configured with a panel made of, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an organic EL (Electronic Luminescent) or the like, and displays information such as the floor at which the car 1 is stopped, the floor it is passing through, or the floor at which it will next stop. Note that the display unit 71 may also display other information such as disaster information in the event of a disaster, news, etc.

[0019] The contactless destination floor button 72 has destination floor buttons 721_1 to 721_12. The destination floor button 721_1 is a button for registering the first floor of the building as a destination floor, and the destination floor button 721_12 is a button for registering the twelfth floor of the building as a destination floor. Contactless sensors 722_1 to 722_12 are provided above the destination floor display portions of the destination floor buttons 721_1 to 721_12, respectively.

[0020] In the following description, when it is not necessary to individually identify the destination floor buttons 721_1 to 721_12, they are collectively referred to as destination floor buttons 721, and when it is not necessary to individually identify the non-contact sensors 722_1 to 722_12, they are collectively referred to as non-contact sensors 722.

[0021] The non-contact sensor 722 is configured, for example, by an infrared beam sensor, and when it detects reflected light of an infrared beam emitted from itself, it detects the proximity of a user's finger, which is the detection target. The non-contact sensor 722 then outputs the detection result to the sensor input processing unit 621 (see FIG. 3) of the control controller 6. Note that the method by which the non-contact sensor 722 detects the detection target is not limited to the infrared beam method, and other methods may be used.

[0022] The destination floor button 721 is configured as a contact-type push button. The destination floor button 721 outputs detection information of the button being pressed by the user's finger to the destination floor registration processing unit 622 in the controller 6 (see FIG. 3).

[0023] That is, the user can register a destination floor either by holding a hand or finger over the position of the non-contact sensor 722 of the destination floor button 721 (non-contact) or by directly pressing the destination floor button 721.

[0024] <Configuration of the control system for the control controller and the car operation panel> Next, the configuration of the control system of the controller 6 in the control panel 5 and the in-car operation panel 7 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the control system of the controller 6 and the in-car operation panel 7.

[0025] [Controller] The controller 6 includes a hoisting machine drive control section 61 and an operation control section 62. The hoisting machine drive control section 61 controls the operation of the motor 41 of the hoisting machine 4 based on the control by the operation control section 62.

[0026] The operation control unit 62 includes a sensor input processing unit 621 and a destination floor registration processing unit 622. The sensor input processing unit 621 receives the detection result from the non-contact sensor 722 of the car operation panel 7, and outputs information on the destination floor identified from the detection result to the destination floor registration processing unit 622.

[0027] The destination floor registration processing unit 622 registers the destination floor of the car 1 based on information transmitted from the hall operating panel 8 (see FIG. 1), the sensor input processing unit 621, or the destination floor button 721 on the in-car operating panel 7. If the destination floor information transmitted from the hall operating panel 8, the sensor input processing unit 621, or the destination floor button 721 indicates a floor set as a floor-cut floor, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 does not register the destination floor. Then, the notification unit 6221 of the destination floor registration processing unit 622 makes an announcement such as "The train will not stop at that floor" from the speaker 74 in the in-car operating panel 7 to the passengers in the car 1.

[0028] When input detection information is transmitted from both the non-contact sensor 722 (an example of a second non-contact sensor) associated with a floor set as a floor cut floor and the non-contact sensor 722 (an example of a first non-contact sensor) associated with a service floor that is not set as a floor cut floor, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 registers only the service floor as a destination floor. The destination floor registration processing unit 622 then controls the notification unit 6221 not to issue the notification that is issued when the floor input by the user is a floor cut floor.

[0029] Furthermore, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 includes a detection history information storage unit 6222. The detection history information storage unit 6222 stores the detection history of inputs by the non-contact sensors 722 associated with the floor cut floors. This detection history is referenced when the destination floor registration processing unit 622 performs control to prevent the above-mentioned announcements from being made. A control method of the in-car operating panel 7 performed by the destination floor registration processing unit 622 with reference to the detection history will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 6.

[0030] By performing such control, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 can prevent an announcement such as "The train will not stop at that floor" from being made for a floor that the user does not remember selecting, even though the floor selected by the user has been registered as a destination floor. Note that the content of the announcement is not limited to this, and other content such as "That floor cannot be registered as a destination floor" may also be used. Furthermore, the announcement is not limited to a voice announcement from the speaker 74. For example, the announcement may be made in text form via the display unit 71 (see FIG. 2), by flashing the response light 73, or by lighting or flashing a lamp (not shown).

[0031] [In-car control panel] The car operation panel 7 includes a destination floor button 721, a non-contact sensor 722, a response light 73, and a speaker 74. The destination floor button 721 and the non-contact sensor 722 have been described with reference to Fig. 2, so a description thereof will be omitted here.

[0032] The response light 73 is provided in approximately the same position as the non-contact sensor 722 on the destination floor button 721, and lights up when the destination floor is registered by the destination floor registration processing unit 622, and remains off in other situations. The speaker 74 emits various announcements or sounds such as buzzers under the control of the destination floor registration processing unit 6221.

[0033] <Example of computer hardware configuration> Next, a hardware configuration for realizing the functions of the controller 6 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the controller 6.

[0034] The computer 200 is hardware used as a so-called computer. The computer 200 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 201, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 202, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 203, each of which is connected to a bus B. The computer 200 also includes a non-volatile storage 204 and a network interface 205.

[0035] The CPU 201 reads out and executes program code of software that realizes each function according to this embodiment from the ROM 202. The computer 200 may include a processing device such as an MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) instead of the CPU 201. Variables, parameters, etc. that occur during the calculation process are temporarily written to the RAM 203.

[0036] The nonvolatile storage 204 may be, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a flexible disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a CD-R, a nonvolatile memory card, etc. In addition to an operating system (OS) and various parameters, programs for operating the computer 200 are recorded in this nonvolatile storage 204.

[0037] The program may be stored in the ROM 202. In other words, the non-volatile storage 204 or the ROM 202 is used as an example of a computer-readable non-transitory recording medium that stores a program to be executed by a computer.

[0038] The network interface 205 may be, for example, a network interface card (NIC), and can transmit and receive various data to and from external devices via a network such as a LAN or a communication line.

[0039] <Example of multiple non-contact sensors detecting input> Next, an example in which the multiple non-contact sensors 722 of the in-car operation panel 7 detect an input (proximity of a user's hand or finger) will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example in which the multiple non-contact sensors 722 of the in-car operation panel 7 detect an input. In the example shown in Fig. 5, it is assumed that the 12th floor of the building in which the elevator 100 (see Fig. 1) is installed is set as a service providing floor, and the 5th floor is set as a floor cut floor.

[0040] 5 shows a state in which a user holds a finger over the non-contact sensor 722_12 of the destination floor button 721_12 for the 12th floor on the in-car operation panel 7. In this state, the non-contact sensor 722_12 detects the proximity of the user's finger. Then, since the 12th floor is a service providing floor, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 (see FIG. 3) registers the 12th floor as a destination floor.

[0041] 5, the user's arm is in proximity to the non-contact sensor 722_5 on the fifth floor. In this case, the non-contact sensor 722_5 also detects the proximity of the user's finger. However, since the fifth floor is a floor-cut floor, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 (see FIG. 3) does not register the fifth floor as a destination floor.

[0042] In the conventional technology, at this point, an announcement is made from the speaker 74 (see FIG. 3) informing the user that the fifth floor is a floor-cut floor, i.e., a floor where the elevator will not stop. A user who hears such an announcement may mistakenly believe that the elevator will not stop at the twelfth floor, which the user has designated as the destination floor. In this embodiment, when both the non-contact sensor 722_12 associated with the service-providing floor (twelfth floor) and the non-contact sensor 722_5 associated with the floor-cut floor (fifth floor) detect inputs, the notification unit 6221 (see FIG. 3) does not cause the speaker 74 to make an announcement that the elevator will not stop at the fifth floor. This makes it possible to prevent the above-mentioned confusion among users.

[0043] <Method of controlling the car operation panel using the control controller> Next, a control method for the car internal operation panel 7 by the controller 6 (see FIG. 3) according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of a procedure for control processing of the car internal operation panel 7 by the controller 6.

[0044] First, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 determines whether or not the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the floor cut floor has detected the proximity of a detection object (such as a user's finger) (step S1). If it is determined in step S1 that the proximity of the detection object has been detected (if step S1 is determined as YES), the destination floor registration processing unit 622 determines whether or not a predetermined threshold time has elapsed since the detection in step S1 (step S2).

[0045] If it is determined in step S2 that the predetermined threshold time has not elapsed (if step S2 is determined as NO), the destination floor registration processing unit 622 determines whether or not the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the service floor has detected the approach of a detection object (step S3). That is, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 determines whether or not the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the service floor has detected the approach of a detection object within the predetermined threshold time after the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the floor cut floor detected the detection object.

[0046] In step S3, if it is determined that the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the service floor has not detected the proximity of the object to be detected (if step S3 is determined to be NO), the control processing of the in-car operating panel 7 by the control controller 6 is terminated.

[0047] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3 that the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the service floor has detected the proximity of the detection target (if step S3 is determined to be YES), the destination floor registration processing unit 622 does not cause the notification unit 6221 to issue an announcement that the floor specified by the user is a floor-cut floor (step S4). After the processing of step S4, the control processing of the in-car operation panel 7 by the control controller 6 ends.

[0048] If it is determined in step S1 that the proximity of the detection object has not been detected (if step S1 is determined as NO), the destination floor registration processing unit 622 determines whether or not there is a detection history by the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the floor cut floor by referring to the detection history information storage unit 6222 (see FIG. 3) (step S5). By making such a determination, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 can prevent an erroneous determination that the proximity of the user's finger, hand, etc. has not been detected, for example, in a case where the user's finger, hand, etc. is placed near the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the floor cut floor and then the user's finger, hand, etc. is removed from that position.

[0049] If it is determined in step S5 that there is no detection history (if step S5 is judged as NO), the control process of the car operation panel 7 by the controller 6 ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S5 that there is a detection history (if step S5 is judged as YES), the destination floor registration processing unit 622 performs the judgment of step S2. That is, it determines whether or not a predetermined threshold time has elapsed since the detection in step S1.

[0050] If it is determined in step S2 that the predetermined threshold time has elapsed (if step S2 is determined to be YES), the destination floor registration processing unit 622 clears the history information stored in the detection history information storage unit 6222 (step S6). Next, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 causes the notification unit 6221 to make an announcement to inform the user that the floor specified by the user is a floor-cut floor (step S7). After the processing of step S7, the control processing of the in-car operation panel 7 by the control controller 6 ends.

[0051] For example, if the user's fingers or hands are placed only at the positions of the non-contact sensors 722 associated with the floor cut floor, that is, if the user intentionally specifies a floor cut floor, the determination in step S7 will be NO. In such a case, it is necessary to notify the user that the specified floor is a floor cut floor, that is, a floor at which the elevator 100 will not stop. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the processing of step S6, the notification processing of step S7 is performed.

[0052] In the above-described embodiment, when both the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the service floor where the elevator 100 provides service and the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the floor-cut floor detect input, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 does not cause the notification unit 6221 to issue a notification indicating that the destination floor is a floor-cut floor. Therefore, according to this embodiment, even though the user has set a service floor as the destination floor, an announcement such as that the elevator will not stop at that floor is no longer issued, and therefore it is possible to prevent the elevator 100 having a non-contact operation panel (in-car operation panel 7 having the non-contact sensor 722) from issuing an erroneous notification.

[0053] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, when both the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the service floor and the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the floor-cut floor detect an input, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 registers the floor associated with the service floor as a destination floor. Therefore, according to this embodiment, even when the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the floor-cut floor detects an input due to the user's arm or the like coming close, the service floor that the user intended to register is registered as the destination floor without fail.

[0054] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, even if the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the floor-cut floor has not detected an input when the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the service floor detects an input, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 does not cause the notification unit 6221 to issue a notification indicating that the specified floor is a floor-cut floor if the detection history is stored in the detection history information storage unit 6222. Therefore, according to this embodiment, when there is a mismatch between the input detection timing of the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the service floor and the input detection timing of the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the floor-cut floor, it is possible to prevent an announcement such as that the train will not stop at that floor from being issued.

[0055] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, if the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the floor cut floor does not detect an input within a predetermined threshold time after the non-contact sensor 722 associated with the service floor detects an input, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 deletes the detection history stored in the detection history information storage unit 6222 and causes the notification unit 6221 to issue a notification. Therefore, according to this embodiment, if a user intentionally specifies a floor cut floor as a destination floor, an announcement is made to the effect that the vehicle will stop at that floor. Therefore, according to this embodiment, a user who attempts to register a destination floor without knowing that it is a floor cut floor can understand that the floor cannot be registered as a destination floor.

[0056] In the above-described embodiment, the car operation panel 7 may be controlled not only using the detection result of the non-contact sensor 722 but also using the detection result of pressing the destination floor button 721. For example, when the destination floor registration processing unit 622 detects a press of the destination floor button 721 associated with a service floor, even if the non-contact sensor 722 associated with a floor cut floor detects an input, the destination floor registration processing unit 622 may control the notification unit 6221 not to issue a notification to the user that the elevator will not stop at that floor. By performing such control, it is possible to prevent erroneous notifications from being issued even in an elevator 100 that includes an car operation panel 7 that is equipped with both the contact-type destination floor button 721 and the non-contact sensor 722.

[0057] In the above-described embodiment, the controller 6 of the present invention is provided in the elevator 100 having only one car 1 (see FIG. 1), but the present invention is not limited to this. The controller 6 of the present invention may be provided in an elevator system having multiple cars.

[0058] Furthermore, the above-described embodiment has been described in detail to clearly explain the present invention, and is not necessarily limited to an embodiment having all of the configurations described.

[0059] 3 and 4, the control lines or information lines shown by solid lines are those considered necessary for explanation, and do not necessarily show all control lines or information lines in the product. In reality, it can be considered that almost all components are interconnected.

[0060] Furthermore, in this specification, processing steps describing chronological processing include not only processing that is performed chronologically in the order described, but also processing that is not necessarily performed chronologically but is performed in parallel or individually (for example, parallel processing or processing by objects).

[0061] Furthermore, each component of the elevator according to one embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in any hardware as long as the respective hardware can transmit and receive information to each other via a network. Furthermore, the processing performed by a certain processing unit may be realized by a single piece of hardware, or may be realized by distributed processing using multiple pieces of hardware.
