Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to passengers in elevator cars and halls.
The present invention relates to an elevator automatic guide device that broadcasts or displays necessary elevator service information.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, an apparatus of this type is, for example, Shoukai 57-23761.
As shown in No. 1, when a car stopped at the hall call registration floor, there were some that broadcast predetermined contents inside the hall and the car. Alternatively, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-103073, there is a system in which after the predetermined time has elapsed, the next broadcast content is selected and broadcast in a car or a hall.

Further, as shown in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 24183/1979, among a plurality of elevators, there is a car that responds to a hall call registration and guides a broadcast by a car-compatible broadcasting device.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

However, as described above, the conventional broadcasting devices for the respective elevators are provided at every car stop for the convenience of passengers or waiting passengers in the car,
Although guidance broadcasts were made every time the car departed, for passengers living in buildings that constantly use elevators, the guidance broadcasts sometimes became annoying and the service to passengers was sometimes adversely affected.

Therefore, there are some elevators that are provided with an effective / ineffective switch for these automatic guide devices, but the structure is such that they cannot be operated by ordinary passengers. Further, if the structure is such that it can be operated by ordinary passengers, there is a problem that the passengers who need the guidance service feel inconvenienced because the switch is turned off.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the invention is to obtain an elevator automatic guide device that interrupts guide broadcasting only for a predetermined period and restarts guide broadcasting after the expiration of this period. And

[Means for solving the problem]

An elevator automatic guide device according to the present invention outputs a guide prohibition command provided in a car and a hall in an elevator automatic guide device that selects a plurality of pre-stored guide contents and informs an elevator user. When the prohibition command output means and the prohibition command is output in the hall, the guidance is interrupted for a certain time, and when the prohibition command is output in the car, the guidance in the car is prohibited for a certain time or until all car calls in the same direction in the car are released. It is provided with a guidance prohibiting means.

[Action]

According to this invention, if the prohibition command output means is operated by the operation of the waiting customer, the guidance is provided by the guidance prohibition means.
There is no interruption for a certain period of time until the waiting passengers get on, and after a certain period of time, the guidance is restarted, so that new waiting passengers do not feel inconvenienced. In addition, if the prohibition command output means is operated in the car, the guidance notification is prohibited for a certain time until the passenger gets off the vehicle, or until all the car call registrations of the car are canceled, and after the cancellation, the guidance notification is restarted. Therefore, new passengers do not feel inconvenienced.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an automatic elevator guide device installed in a hall or a car. In the figure, (1) is, for example, a push button provided in the car, and (2) is a broadcast restriction device that operates by operating the push button (1). When operating, a general guide prohibition command (2a ) Is output, and then the dedicated guidance selection command (2b) is output. When there is no input of the general guidance prohibition command (2a), (3) selects one of preset general guidance (4-1) to (4-n) for voice synthesis and outputs a voice from the speaker (5). Output, and general guidance prohibition command (2
a) A voice synthesizing device for outputting a preset dedicated guidance from a speaker by voice synthesis in response to the input dedicated guidance selection command (2b) after the input.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment based on the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, it is judged whether the dedicated push button (1) for prohibiting general guidance installed in the car is operated (S-10), and if it is determined that the push button (1) is pressed, the broadcast The general guidance prohibition command (2a) is output from the restriction device (2) to the voice synthesizer (3) (S-12). As a result, the general guidance command (4-1) set in advance is output from the voice synthesizer (3).
(4-n) is not output as a speaker by voice synthesis.

Next, the special guidance selection command (2
When b) is output to the voice synthesizer (3) (S-14),
According to the Directive (2b), "We will cancel the announcement."
Special instructions such as "I'm sorry" or "I'm sorry to hear you" are sent from the voice synthesizer (3) to the passengers in the car through the speaker (5).

The broadcast restriction device (2) counts a predetermined time after the exclusive guide broadcasting, that is, a time until the passenger gets into the car and gets off at the target floor, and determines whether the predetermined time has passed (S-16). At this time, if it is determined that the predetermined time has passed, the general guidance prohibition command (2a) that has been output
Is reset (S-18), and general guidance for the next passenger is started again.

In the above case, the general guidance prohibition command set and reset timing were set based on the elapsed time from the time the car got into the car, but the general guidance prohibition command was output while the car call was registered in the elevator driving direction. The general guidance prohibition command may be reset when all the car call registrations are canceled and the driving direction changes. In this way, by setting the output timing of the general guidance prohibition command, it is possible to stop the clear general guidance such as "I will come up" every time the car rises, for example.

An automatic guide device for an elevator that operates in this way is shown in FIG. In the figure, the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 indicate the same or corresponding parts. Reference numeral (21) is, for example, a broadcast restriction device which, when a passenger boarding from the third floor registers a car call to the final floor, inputs a car call signal (6) unless the car call is released.

Next, the operation of this embodiment according to the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, it is judged whether the dedicated push button (1) for prohibiting general guidance installed in the car is operated (S-10), and if it is determined that the push button (1) is pressed, the broadcast A general guidance prohibition command (2a) is output from the restriction device (21) to the voice synthesizer (3) (S-12). As a result, the general guidance command (4-1) set in advance is output from the voice synthesizer (3).
(4-n) is not output as a speaker by voice synthesis.

Next, a special guidance selection command (2
When b) is output to the voice synthesizer (3) (S-14),
According to the Directive (2b), "We will cancel the announcement."
Special instructions such as "I'm sorry" or "I'm sorry to hear you" are sent from the voice synthesizer (3) to the passengers in the car through the speaker (5).

It is determined whether the car call registration, which was first performed after the dedicated guidance broadcast, is canceled, that is, whether the car call presence signal (6) is continuously input (S-26). At this time, if it is determined that the signal input is not continued, the general guidance prohibition command is reset (S-18), and the general guidance is restarted for the passengers in the descending car by reversing the driving direction. . As a result, it is possible to prevent service deterioration to other passengers.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the same effects can be obtained even with the following configurations.

1) In the embodiment, the exclusive button is provided in the car, but the same effect can be obtained by providing it in the hall.

In this case, the timing of restarting the interruption of the general guide broadcasting should be after the elevator arrives at or departs from the relevant hall.

2) The dedicated button is used to display the meaning of stopping the announcement, for example, "stop announcement".

3) If there is a special guide in the general guide, such as in the event of a disaster or the occurrence of an elevator abnormality, these guides will not be interrupted even if the dedicated button is pressed.

4) In addition to the case of voice guidance, there is a similar effect in the case of guidance that appeals to the passengers' visual sense such as special sound and light.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the excessive guide broadcast of the elevator, which may be a noise, can be arbitrarily interrupted by the passenger's will, and after the passenger's use of the elevator, the guide broadcast is configured to flow again, so that the attentive driving is further improved. It is effective in providing passengers with an elevator service that can be promoted.
