BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS It is a system block diagram which shows the whole wheelchair elevator structure in Example 1 of this invention. It is a flowchart for demonstrating the operation | movement flow of the elevator only for a wheelchair in Example 1 of this invention.

Example 1.
FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing the overall configuration of a wheelchair elevator in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining an operation flow of the wheelchair elevator.

Referring to FIG. 1, a wheelchair-only elevator according to the present invention is installed at an elevator car 1 and an entrance door of the car 1, and detects whether a passenger or a wheelchair user has passed. A multi-beam door sensor 2 having the same configuration as a photoelectric device composed of a plurality of photoelectric elements described in Japanese Patent No. 176833, a car destination register button 3 provided in the car 1, and a car provided in the car 1 An in-car speaker 4, an in-car monitoring camera 5 provided in the car 1, a message reproduction means 7 for broadcasting a voice announcement from the in-car speaker 4 into the car 1 with a pre-registered message 6, and an elevator An elevator control device 8 for controlling operation, an image recognition device 9 for analyzing and recognizing an image taken by the car surveillance camera 5, and a multi-beam door It detects whether or not a wheelchair has passed from information on passengers and objects passing between doors detected by the sensor 2, and has the same configuration as the wheelchair detection device described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-176833 It is comprised from the wheelchair detection apparatus 10 which is.
Then, the wheelchair detection device 10 detects whether or not the wheelchair user has passed among passengers and objects passing between the doors detected by the multi-beam door sensor 2. In addition, when the car monitoring camera 5 detects whether the floor surface is covered with a wheelchair or the like more than a certain level with respect to the floor surface in the car 1, and detects that the floor surface is covered It is determined that there is a wheelchair user in the car 1. In this case, registration in the destination registration button 3 in the car can be performed by a wheelchair user or his / her accompanying person. On the other hand, when it is detected that the floor surface in the car 1 is not covered with a wheelchair or the like, it is determined that there is no wheelchair user in the car 1. In this case, when the in-car destination registration button 3 is pushed down by a general passenger, the in-car speaker 4 indicates, for example, “This elevator is for wheelchairs only. Only for wheelchair users and accompanying persons” A voice announcement that prompts the user to get off is reproduced and notified, and the in-car destination registration button 3 cannot be registered by a general passenger.
When the call for the in-car destination registration button 3 by the wheelchair user or his / her companion is registered, the elevator starts wheelchair-only operation, and prohibits landing calls and does not respond while driving. After the car 1 arrives at the destination floor and the door is opened, the multi-beam door sensor 2 and the wheelchair detection device 10 detect that the wheelchair user has passed, and the car monitoring camera 5 When it is not detected that the floor surface is covered with a wheelchair or the like more than a certain level relative to the floor surface, in other words, when the floor surface in the car 1 is detected not covered with the wheelchair or the like, It is determined that there is no wheelchair user in 1, and the destination registration button 3 in the car cannot be registered. It should be noted that the detection of a wheelchair user by the multi-beam door sensor 2 and the wheelchair detection device 10 may cause a failure, and whether or not the floor surface in the car 1 by the car monitoring camera 5 is covered more than a certain level. It is conceivable that the object is covered with an object other than a wheelchair.

Next, an operation flow of the wheelchair elevator will be described with reference to FIG.
When a wheelchair call button (not shown) installed at the hall is operated and registered, the wheelchair-only elevator is dispatched to the hall. When the car call is registered (step S1), the multi-beam door sensor 2 detects whether or not the wheelchair user has passed from among passengers and objects passing between the doors (step S2). When the approach is detected, it is determined whether or not most of the floor surface is covered with a wheelchair or the like by the in-car monitoring camera 5 (step S3), and it is detected that most of the floor surface is covered Determines that there is a wheelchair user in the car 1, and the elevator starts the wheelchair-only driving, prohibits the landing call during the driving and does not respond (step S4). Thereafter, the car 1 arrives at the destination floor (step S5). When the car 1 arrives at the destination floor, after the door is opened, the multi-beam door sensor 2 and the wheelchair detection device 10 detect that the wheelchair user has passed, and the car monitoring camera 5 detects the floor surface in the car 1. On the other hand, if it is not detected that the floor is covered with a wheelchair or the like more than a certain level, it is determined that there is no wheelchair user in the car 1 and the car destination registration button 3 cannot be registered. When the wheelchair elevator is in operation, if the approach of the wheelchair is not detected by the multi-beam door sensor 2 in step S2, it is confirmed that most of the floor surface is not covered by the car monitoring camera 5 in step S3. If it is detected, when the in-car destination registration button 3 is pushed down by a general passenger, the in-car speaker 4 indicates, for example, “This elevator is for wheelchair users only. A voice announcement that prompts the passenger to get off is reproduced and notified (step S6). In addition, registration of the in-car destination registration button 3 by general passengers is prohibited.
In the case of a multi-car with multiple elevators installed, the wheelchair call button on the hall blinks when pressed down once, and if no action is taken, the normal call button is registered, and other elevators that are not wheelchair compatible When the wheelchair call button on the hall is pushed down again, it is possible to make it difficult to make a wheelchair call by enabling registration of the wheelchair call.
