Elevator Car Panel Wireless Setup for Floor-Specific Landing Settings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing elevator systems require laborious individual setting of floor-by-floor settings information at each landing, despite the use of remote control, necessitating improved workability in storing such information.
Innovation Solution
An elevator device with a car operation panel and multiple landing operation panels, equipped with transmission/reception devices, allows for centralized setting and transmission of settings information from within the car, enabling easy storage of floor-by-floor settings across all landings through wireless communication and guided movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If individual setting work is performed at each landing using remote control, then operability in the car and at each landing is improved, but workability in storing floor-by-floor settings information remains laborious
Solution Approach 1:
The car operation panel serves as an intermediary device that enables centralized setting of floor-by-floor information. Instead of requiring separate remote control operations at each landing, the operator can input all floor settings from within the car, and the system automatically distributes the information to respective landings, thus improving workability while maintaining ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The car operation panel is designed to perform multiple functions: it not only controls car operations but also serves as a universal setting terminal for all floor-by-floor information. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate setting devices at each landing, thereby improving productivity without sacrificing operability
2Ease of operation
If remote control transmission device is used to transmit data to each remote control reception device, then operability is improved, but individual setting work at each landing is still required
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by enabling all floor-by-floor settings to be configured in advance from the car operation panel before the elevator reaches each landing. This eliminates the need for time-consuming individual setting work at each landing, as all configurations are pre-established and automatically transmitted to respective floors
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the setting functions for all floors into a single location (car operation panel). Instead of requiring separate setting operations at multiple landings, all floor-by-floor information settings are combined and can be performed from one centralized interface, significantly reducing the time required for individual setting work

AI summary
Provided is an elevator device including a car operation panel installed inside a car of an elevator, and a plurality of landing operation panels installed each floor. The plurality of landing operation panels each include a landing-side transmission/reception device configured to transmit and receive information to and from the car operation panel. The car operation panel includes a reception device configured to receive car settings information and floor-by-floor settings information from an operation device inside the car, and a car-side transmission/reception device configured to transmit and receive information to and from the plurality of landing operation panels.
