Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an elevator call generating apparatus in which an installation adjuster or a maintenance and inspection staff operates an elevator in an elevator machine room.

[Conventional technology]

FIGS. 5 and 6 show such a conventional apparatus. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the conventional apparatus.
In the figure, (1) is a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as “CPU”) that controls the movement of a car (not shown) based on the car call registration status of each floor, and (2) is a main storage device of the CPU (1). (Hereinafter referred to as "memory"), (5) is a CPU which transmits a code signal composed of, for example, a binary code indicating each floor (shown in the first to sixth floors) through the interface (6).
The rotary switch is a floor setting means to be sent to (1). (7) is a call registration generation switch (hereinafter abbreviated as "registration switch") for issuing a registration timing signal for performing a car call registration (storage operation) at a predetermined address of the memory (2) corresponding to the code signal. The signal from the registration switch (7) is transmitted via the interface (8).
The signal is sent to the CPU (1), and the CPU (1) registers the car call when receiving the signal. Further, in the figure, (9) is a latch circuit for receiving a command sent from the CPU (1) when a floor corresponding to the code signal is registered, and (10) is a latch circuit for the latch circuit (9). It is a display device that is lit for a period, for example, an LED.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of generating a car call command and the operation of registering a car call of the embodiment apparatus having the above-mentioned configuration.

 The operation will be described based on the flowchart.

First, the CPU (1) reads a code signal indicating the floor set in the rotary switch (5) (for example, "101" because the figure shows the fifth floor through the interface (6)). (Step 1). Next, the CPU (1) confirms whether the registration switch (7) is on or off (step 2). If it is on, the CPU (1) writes a call at an address corresponding to the code signal in the memory (2) (step 3). Proceed to the next step, and if it is off, go directly to the next step. That is, the contents of the address corresponding to the code signal, that is, the registration status of the floor (fifth floor) indicated by the code signal is confirmed (Step 4). The reason why such a step is necessary is that, in addition to the registration by turning on the registration switch (7), the registration by turning on the call button device provided on each floor may be possible. As a result of the confirmation in step 4, if the information has been registered, the CPU (1) sends a command to the latch circuit (9) to turn on the display device (10). Return to step 2.

The operation of the maintenance inspector performed in parallel with the operation of the machine room car call generator described above will be described below. The maintenance person matches the pointer of the rotary switch (5) with the number of the floor for which the car call registration is desired. After that, the display device (1
0) is lit or not, and if lit, the call registration for the floor has already been performed, so there is no need to take any further action. On the other hand, if it is not lit, the registration switch ( 7) is input. Thereby, the car call registration is performed.

Therefore, the maintenance inspector can easily register the car call in the machine room.

When the call is generated, the call of the lowest floor is registered, and based on the detection result of the car position detection means, the car detected when the call is generated by the upper floor call generation means is located above the currently waiting floor. Register a call for a floor that is a specified number of floors away, and Car call by Kaiyobi generating means is detected to occur is that a call registration means for registering a call of floor apart predetermined number of floors below the floor currently waiting.

[Action] An upper floor call generating means for generating a call for a floor separated by a predetermined number of floors above the floor where the car is currently waiting, and a predetermined floor below the floor where the car is currently waiting. A lower floor call generating means for generating a floor call away from the floor is provided, so that during the installation adjustment, maintenance and inspection of the elevator, the installation coordinator / maintenance inspector specifies the stop floor of the car during the test operation of the elevator. Becomes easier.

In addition, since a top floor calling means for generating a call for the top floor and a lowest floor calling means for generating a call for the lowest floor are provided,
At the time of elevator installation adjustment / maintenance inspection, the installation coordinator / maintenance inspector performs direct operation of the elevator to the top floor or the lowest floor, and reciprocation of the entire elevator travel between the top floor and the lowest floor. It is easy to specify the stop floor of the car when performing a test run.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.
In the figure, the elevator call generating apparatus according to the present embodiment has the same configuration of the conventional apparatus as that of the CPU (1) and the memory (2), and further includes an upper floor call registration switch (3) and a lower floor. The call registration switch (4) is connected to a bus (11) via an interface (I / F) (6), and is connected to each other by the bus (11). The (4) ON / OFF signal is sent to the CPU (1).

The operation of this embodiment based on the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the call registration operation of the apparatus of this embodiment. In the figure, first, at step 6 the current floor signal F is set for the floor where the current car is located, and then at step 7 it is determined whether or not the upper floor call registration switch 3 is turned on. If it has been inserted, the process proceeds to (Step 8) to register the call for the (F + 1) floor.
If the upper floor call registration switch (3) is not turned on in (Step 7), the process proceeds to (Step 9), and it is determined whether or not the lower floor call registration switch (4) is turned on. Proceeding to step 10), the call for the (F-1) floor is registered.

With the above operation, the installation coordinator or the maintenance and inspection staff simply presses the upper floor call registration switch (3) or the lower floor call registration switch (4) to generate a call for the next floor above or below. Elevators can be operated one floor at a time, sequentially upward or downward.

In FIG. 1, the upper floor call generation switch (3) and the lower floor call generation switch (4) are composed of two switches, but one of the contacts is connected to the upper floor by using a transfer type switch. The other contact may be used for generating a lower floor call.

Also, in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, only floor driving in which the vehicle is driven upward or downward sequentially while stopping on all floors can be performed, but long-floor running is required for checking the operation of the elevator and measuring data. It may be. Therefore, in addition to the switches (3) and (4) shown in FIG. 1, a switch (11) for generating a top floor call and a switch (1) for generating a bottom floor call as shown in FIG.
2), the top floor call generation switch (11) is pressed to generate the top floor call, and the lowest floor call generation switch (12) is pressed to generate the bottom floor call. For example, a direct operation to the top floor or the lowest floor and a round-trip operation between the top floor and the lowest floor are also possible.

At this time, since all safety devices are not installed during the installation of the elevator, it may be dangerous if the vehicle is driven to the terminal floor. Therefore, in each of the switches (3) and (4), one floor before the terminal floor is located. Only when the above switches (11) and (12) are operated, it is possible to travel to the terminal floor so that the vehicle can only go to the floor.

Each of the call generating switches (11) and (12) on the top floor or the lowest floor is configured as a transfer type like the call generating switches (3) and (4) on the upper floor or the lower floor. You can also.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing another embodiment of the present invention, and the structure of the apparatus is the same as that of FIG. In the figure, first, at step 13 the upper floor call registration switch (3)
It is determined whether or not the elevator has been turned on. If the upper floor call registration switch (3) has been turned on (step 14), an ascending operation command is generated and the elevator is driven to the upper floor. Then, at step 15, the floor where the current car is located is set to the current floor signal F. (Step 16) It is determined whether or not the upper floor call registration switch (3) has been released. If the switch has not been released, the elevator continues to run upward, and if the floor where the car changes has been changed, it is updated in (Step 15). To go. Then, when the upper floor call registration switch (3) is released (step 17), the next floor of the floor F where the car is at that time, that is, (F)
The call for the (+1) floor is registered, and the elevator stops at the (F + 1) floor.

In this way, while the upper floor call registration switch (3) is turned on, the elevator continues the ascending operation, and when the upper floor call registration switch (3) is released, the elevator is moved up one floor from the floor where the car is at that time. Stop on the floor.

A floor indicator indicating the floor on which the car is normally placed is installed in the machine room of the elevator, so if the switch (3) is operated while looking at the floor indicator, the elevator is stopped at an arbitrary floor. be able to. If the upper floor call registration switch (3) is not turned on at (step 13), the process proceeds to (step 18), and it is determined whether the lower floor call registration switch (4) is turned on. The operations in (Step 19) to (Step 22) are performed in the same manner as in (Step 14) to (Step 17), and the elevator is lowered while the lower floor call registration switch (4) is turned on. Continue driving and switch for lower floor call registration (4)
Is released, the vehicle stops at the floor one floor below the floor where the car is located at that time.

As described above, according to the embodiment of FIG. 4, the elevator can be driven to an arbitrary floor simply by operating the switch (3) or (4) of FIG.

In the embodiment of FIG. 4, (step 17), (step 17)
In 22), the call for the (F + 1) floor or the (F-1) floor was registered. However, an elevator with a high rated speed may require a deceleration distance exceeding the first floor. What is necessary is just to change the value to be added to or subtracted from the floor F according to the speed.

Although FIGS. 1 to 4 have been described as a call generator in a machine room, they can be used as a call register in a car when a specialized driver operates an elevator. This has the effect of reducing the cost of the device with a simple configuration.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the upper floor call generating means for generating a call for a floor separated by a predetermined number of floors above the floor where the car is currently on standby, A lower floor call generating means for generating a floor call that is a predetermined number of floors below the currently waiting floor is provided, so that during installation adjustment, maintenance and inspection of the elevator, Inspection personnel can easily specify the stop floor of the car in the test operation of the elevator. Further, according to the present invention, since the top floor calling means for generating a call for the top floor and the lowest floor calling means for generating a call for the lowest floor are provided, during installation adjustment, maintenance and inspection of the elevator, The installation coordinator / maintenance inspector must stop the elevator car during the trial operation of the elevator's direct operation to the top floor and the lowest floor, and the reciprocating operation of the full stroke of the elevator between the top floor and the lowest floor.
