Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an elevator car position display method for displaying the elevator car position by numeral display, and particularly, by numerical display, a non-stop floor portion such as an express zone. The present invention relates to a car position display method of an elevator to be displayed.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 5 is a plan view of a car position display for explaining a conventional car position display method for an elevator shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 54-22766. In the figure, 1 is a car position indicator installed in, for example, an upper part of a hall entrance in a hall, 2 is a face plate, 3 is a floor display section, 4 is a non-stop floor that displays a non-stop floor such as an express zone The floor display unit, 5 is a descending direction display unit for displaying the descending traveling state of the car, and 6 is an ascending direction display unit.

In the car position indicator thus constructed, the traveling direction of the car is indicated by the descending direction display unit 5 or the ascending direction display unit 6. The floor on which the car is located is displayed by selectively lighting the floor display section 3 in which the floor number corresponding to the current floor is written. Further, when the car is located on a non-stop floor such as an express zone, unlike the floor display section 3, the non-stop floor display section 4, which is a point display such as a circle, is selectively illuminated. The position is displayed by doing so.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in the elevator car position display method described above, a large number of floor display units 3, a plurality of non-stop floor display units 4, and two descending and ascending direction display units 5 and 6 must be arranged side by side. Since this is not possible, a relatively large space is required to display this car position, and in high-rise buildings the display content itself must be reduced,
Along with this, there is a problem that the display becomes difficult to see.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and clearly displays a non-stop floor such as an express zone while using a car position indicator with a numerical display that significantly reduces the display space. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of displaying a car position of an elevator that can be performed.

[Means for solving problems]

Elevator car position display method according to the present invention, when using the car position indicator by numerical display, to display the car position of the non-stop floor part such as the express zone, at least one of immediately before and immediately after the non-stop floor It is shown by switching or blinking the floor number display according to the moving position of the car.

[Action]

According to such a car position display method for an elevator, it is possible to display the stop floor and the non-stop floor of the car while using the car position indicator with a numerical display that occupies less space.

Example of Invention

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First
In the figure, 7 is a digital floor number display section, and the floor number display section 7 and the descending and ascending direction display sections 5 and 6 constitute a car position indicator 8.

The car position indicator 8 thus configured executes a control shown in FIG. 2 by operating a control unit (not shown) having a microcomputer configuration, for example. The flowchart shown in FIG. 2 will be described below with reference to FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, a case will be described in which the car is driven upward from the first floor when the second to fourth floors are non-stop floors. Here, in step S ₁ shown in FIG. 2, the position of the car is detected, and in step S ₂ , the detected position of the car is the non-stop floor (2nd floor to 4th floor).
It is determined whether or not it is a floor. Then, if the result of this determination is NO, the process moves to step S ₁₇ and the floor where the car is currently located is displayed on the floor number display section 7 of the car position indicator 8. Therefore, at the moment 1
Because the car is located on the floor, floor number display 7
Will be displayed as "1".

Next, for example, when the car is driven up by a hall call, the ascending direction display unit 6 is turned on, and the passengers in each hall are informed that the car is being driven up. Also,
When the car starts running, when the determination in step S ₂ is YES, it determines the Among whether a rising travel shifts made to step S _3. Step S
_When the determination result in ₃ is YES, the process proceeds to step S ₄ and N
A determination is made as to whether or not the vehicle has passed the first floor portion as _one point. When this determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S _5, over 5/6 a period of time A required to travel the entire non-stop floor portion, immediately before the non-stop floors at floor Display a certain first floor. Then over a period of 1/6 of A proceeds to step S _6, the display of a is 5 floor floor immediately after the non-stop floors. That is, most of the time required to drive the entire non-stop floor portion is used for the display of the first floor, and the display is switched to the display of the fifth floor during the remaining part of the time.

Next, when the car further rises, the determination in step S ₄ is NO, so the process proceeds to step S ₇ and it is determined that the vehicle passes N ₂ points. Then, if the determination in step S ₇ is YES, the process proceeds to step S ₈ and the non-stop floor of the non-stop floor is maintained for a period of 4/6 of the time A required to travel the entire non-stop floor portion. The first floor, which is the floor immediately before, is displayed, and then the process proceeds to step S ₉ to set the time A 2
The floor immediately after the non-stop floor over a period of / 6
The floor is displayed. In other words, depending on the movement of the car,
The display time on the first floor is somewhat shortened, and the display time on the fifth floor is lengthened accordingly.

By such an operation is sequentially executed in step S ₁₀ · · · ·, numerical display and 5 floor number display time ratio of 1 floor in accordance with the amount of movement of the car is flashing sequentially changed Will be. In other words, passengers waiting for the arrival of the car at the hall can see the blinking display ratio of the numerical displays on the first floor and the fifth floor to see if the car is within the non-stop floor range. It becomes possible to know which position is moving. Performs this display operation, the car reaches 5 floor, since the determination in step S ₂ moves to step S ₁₇ is NO, and the floor is located in the Thereafter car, blinking Instead, it will be displayed in a fixed state. Then, when the running direction of the car is reversed, reversing the traveling direction is determined in step S _3, shifts to the processing after step S ₁₃ for controlling the display of the downward direction. Since the processing in the descending direction is the same as the display control in the ascending direction, the description thereof will be omitted.

In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG.
Depending on the movement of the car, the display time of the floor number immediately before and after the non-stop floor was changed, but as shown in Fig. 4, the floor immediately before or immediately after the floor was changed depending on the movement of the car. It goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained by changing the blinking cycle of the floor number display.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the elevator car position display method according to the present invention uses a numeric car position indicator to display the car position of a non-stop floor part such as an express zone. Since at least one of the floor number display immediately before and immediately after is blinking or switched, it is possible to use the number display of the car that reduces the occupied space while using the car position indicator to indicate whether the car is on the stop floor or not. The stop floor can be displayed. In addition, when displaying the non-stop floor, the blinking state is changed according to the position of the car.By looking at this display state, it is possible to determine which part of the non-stop floor range the car is located in. There are various excellent effects such as that can be easily performed.
