  FIG. 2 is a control block diagram showing a data flow in the elevator apparatus described above. The unit control unit B300 includes a storage unit B400 that stores display / broadcast data for the user, the details of which will be described later, in addition to the existing functions for overall control of the unit elevator apparatus, and wheelchair users. The load detection unit B1000 and the detection unit B200 that determines whether it is a use of more than a predetermined number of people (examples are shown as three people) from the input data from the wheelchair destination call registration unit B800, and the elevator car It is comprised by the determination part B100 which judges the timing of broadcast according to a position. The unit control unit B300 uses the communication unit AB500 and the communication unit BB600 to transmit data to the car terminal control unit B700 and the hall terminal control unit B1400 regularly from an ordinary time to an output device such as a speaker or a display. In addition, data indicating that the hall call button in each hall has been pressed and the destination call button in the in-car operation panel has been pressed is transmitted to the machine control device. For example, if a wheelchair user of a car gets in and presses a wheelchair destination call button, the data is input to the car terminal control unit B700 as data in the wheelchair destination call registration unit B800 and transmitted to the car control unit B300. At the same time, the load data captured by the load detection unit B1000 is also transmitted to the car control unit B300 via the car terminal control unit B700. With this load data and wheelchair destination call data, Unit B control unit B300 detects that a plurality of users including wheelchair users have boarded, and when the car drives according to the wheelchair destination call. In addition, for example, if the wheelchair destination call registration floor is the third floor, the broadcast timing determining unit B100 detects that the vehicle has been decelerated in order to arrive at the third floor. In this case, the display / broadcast data stored in the storage unit is transmitted to the hall terminal control B 1400. Further, when the car arrives at the wheelchair destination call floor and detects immediately before the door opening operation, the display / broadcast data stored in the storage unit is transmitted to the car terminal.

  FIG. 3 is a process flowchart of the machine control device of the present invention. First, in step S100, based on the data from the load detection device which is a passenger number detection means, in this embodiment, it is determined whether the number of users is three or more. This determination, that is, detection of the number of passengers, is calculated from, for example, the ratio of the weight detected by the in-car load detection device to the maximum load weight of the car. For example, the number of passengers can be calculated by calculating this ratio as approximately 65 kg per passenger. If less than three, return from this process. If there are three or more, the process proceeds to step S200. In step S200, it is determined whether or not the wheelchair destination button on the wheelchair driver's board in the car is pressed. If it is pressed, the process proceeds to step S300, and if it is not pressed, the process returns from this process. In step S300, a wheelchair destination call button is operated, and it is determined whether or not deceleration is started for arrival at the destination floor. If it is determined that deceleration starts, the process proceeds to step S400. If it is not the timing to start deceleration, the process proceeds to step S500. In step S400, the voice information and display information of the wheelchair user's getting-off guidance stored in advance by the number control device is transmitted to the hall terminal. The audio information and the display information are, for example, “Wait for the wheelchair to get off soon, so please wait for the front of the door.” Thereafter, the process returns from this process.

  In step S500, it is determined whether or not the timing immediately before the arrival of the wheelchair destination call floor and the opening of the car door is detected. If the start of the car door opening is detected, in step S600, voice information and display information of the wheelchair user's getting-off guidance stored in advance by the number control device is transmitted to the car terminal. The audio information and the display information are, for example, “Please leave a space because the wheelchair will get off soon.” This process is periodically called from the OS of the machine control device and repeated.

  FIG. 4 is a process flowchart of the car terminal device and hall terminal device of the present invention. In step S1000, it is determined whether broadcast data is received. If the reception of broadcast data is confirmed by the data development status in the reception table, the process proceeds to step S1100. If not received, the process proceeds to step S1200. In step S1100, audio is output to the speaker based on the received broadcast data. Next, in step S1200, it is determined whether the broadcast has been completed. If broadcast is completed, the broadcast data table received in step S1300 is cleared. If broadcasting is incomplete, the process proceeds to step S1400. In step S1400, it is determined whether broadcast data is received. When reception of broadcast data is confirmed by the data development status in the reception table, the process proceeds to step S1500, and display output is performed on the display unit based on the received display data. The display is continued until new display data is received next time. In step S1400, if display data is not received, the process is exited. This process is periodically called from the OS of the machine control device and repeated.

  It should be noted that a series of processing in the processing flowchart shown in FIG. 4, that is, processing from entry to return in the flowchart in FIG. 4 is repeated every 10 to 100 msec, more preferably every about 40 msec, thereby reducing malfunctions. Highly reliable processing is possible.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when the number of people in the car is detected, the information on the car load detecting device and the wheelchair destination call button on the wheelchair operation panel installed in the car are displayed. The contained information is temporarily input to the car terminal device and transmitted to the machine control device using multiplex transmission. When the number of people boarding the vehicle is more than a predetermined number and there is a wheelchair destination call, it is judged that the number of people getting on the wheelchair is somewhat congested. Transmit data indicating that there is a wheelchair user getting off at an appropriate timing. In other words, the hall terminal device and the car terminal device installed in the hall and the car can provide services to the wheelchair user as needed by outputting to the output device based on the received data. Can do.

  According to the present invention, according to the present invention, the conventional elevator apparatus has no function for notifying the user waiting for the elevator in the car or in the hall depending on the wheelchair user. By ensuring the smooth guidance, the wheelchair user can get off without hurting, and the elevator can be used safely.

  In addition, according to the present invention, the car load detection device can be used to determine the state of congestion in the car and provide guidance, thereby reducing wasteful guidance, that is, wasteful display and wasteful broadcasting.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which a car load detecting device provided in the car is used as the number of passengers detecting means is shown. However, for example, many people have umbrellas when it rains, and the weight per passenger increases. Therefore, it is possible to calculate including the weather information when calculating the number of passengers by connecting the unit control device with an external information terminal and transmitting the weather information to the unit control device via the Internet line etc. The number of passengers with higher accuracy can be detected.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an example in which a car load detecting device provided in the car is used as the occupant number detecting means is shown. However, for example, a video camera is installed in the car and can be obtained from the video camera. Alternatively, the number of passengers in the car may be calculated by image processing the obtained images. In this case, there is no error in calculating the number of passengers due to the weight difference of each passenger, and the number of passengers can be detected with higher accuracy.

  In the present embodiment, the wheelchair user is described as an example. However, the convenience of the elevator apparatus can be improved similarly for a mother pushing a baby stroller carrying an infant. it can.

  In the first embodiment, when a wheelchair user gets out of the elevator, the wheelchair user is given an announcement (notification) in the car or hall at an appropriate timing and waits for the elevator in another passenger or hall. In this embodiment, the wheelchair user who is waiting for the elevator in the hall can get on smoothly. Will be described.

  The elevator apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a wheel button for wheelchair users provided in the hall, a hall terminal device for controlling pressing information of the wheel buttons for wheelchair users, voice information transmitted to the car, and display. A wheelchair user hall button is pressed in an elevator apparatus comprising a car terminal device for controlling information and a hall control device connected to the hall terminal device and the car terminal device through multiple transmission paths. When the car control device detects the start of deceleration for arrival at the floor, the car control device transmits the stored voice information and display information of the wheelchair user boarding guide to the car terminal device, The voice information and display information of wheelchair user boarding guidance are output to the car voice guidance device and the car display provided in the car.

  The elevator apparatus in the present embodiment has the same configuration as that in FIGS. 1 to 4 described in the first embodiment. That is, the wheelchair user waiting for the elevator in the hall presses the wheel button for the wheelchair user, and the start of the deceleration for the unit control device to arrive at the floor where the wheelchair user is waiting is detected.
