Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a hotel elevator provided in a hotel.

[Background of the invention]

Generally, hotels have a reception desk.
For hotel guests, check-in, check-out, and other services are performed at the front desk. Therefore, all hotel guests pass through the front desk when entering or exiting the hotel. A hotel staff member is always stationed at the front desk and performs the above-mentioned services for hotel guests.

Incidentally, many tasks at the front desk require attention, and it is difficult for the staff to pay full attention to the comings and goings of hotel guests. In particular, in hotels that have a system in which guests pay for their room after using the room, for example, a guest who comes down the elevator while the staff is not paying attention to other things outside of check-out hours. This often resulted in inconveniences such as not being able to receive accommodation fees due to having to pass through the front desk.

[Purpose of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems,
To provide an elevator device for a hotel capable of knowing in advance that there are guests coming down by elevator to the floor where the front desk of the hotel is installed.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention installs a notification device at the front desk of a hotel, and allows a guest riding in an elevator car to operate a destination floor registration device to indicate the front floor where the front desk is installed. , characterized in that the notification device is activated.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a hotel elevator system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an overhead view of a part of the front floor. In FIG. 1, P indicates the positive side of the power supply, and N indicates the negative side of the power supply. 1 is a relay contact that closes when a passenger gets on the elevator car and presses a pushbutton corresponding to the front floor of the destination floor registration device installed in the car, and is self-held by a circuit (not shown) and the elevator car is When reaching the front floor, the self-holding is released. 2 is a relay contact that closes when the elevator door is open;
3 is a relay contact that is closed when the elevator is stopped. Relay contact 2 and relay contact 3 are connected in parallel. 4 is a buzzer provided at the front. 5 is a relay contact that is closed while the elevator car is from the floor two floors above the front floor to the front floor, and 6 is a display device provided at the front. Note that the relay contact 5 uses a detector that detects the arrival floor, which is normally provided in the elevator, and closes when the floor two floors above the front floor is detected and the elevator moves toward the front floor. , this closure is configured to be self-holding and released when the elevator reaches the front floor.

Next, in FIG. 2, 7 indicates the front floor. 8 is the front desk installed at the appropriate location on the front floor 7, 9
a and 9b indicate hotel elevators. Reference numeral 10 represents an attendant located at the front desk 8, who performs various service tasks for hotel guests. Reference numeral 11 denotes a notification device installed at the front desk 8, which is installed in a position that cannot be seen from the outside of the front desk 8 but can be seen by the staff member. The notification device 11 includes a buzzer 4 and a display device 6 shown in FIG. Customers who get off the elevators 9a and 9b pass in front of the front desk 8 and exit outside.

Now, when a passenger on a certain floor gets on the elevator car at that floor and presses the push button on the front floor 7 of the destination floor registration device in the car, the relay contact 1 closes and its closure is self-maintained. At this time, the elevator door is open and the elevator is stopped, so the relay contacts 2 and 3 are closed and the buzzer 4 is connected to the power source. As a result, the buzzer 4 at the front desk 8 sounds to notify the staff that the customer will soon get off the elevator. This allows the staff to prepare themselves for the customer in advance. When the elevator door closes and the elevator starts moving, relay contacts 2 and 3 are opened, and only relay contact 1 is closed by self-holding, and the buzzer 4 stops sounding. When the elevator reaches the second floor above the front floor 7, relay contact 5
is closed and remains closed thereafter. As a result, a required display is made on the display device 6 of the front desk 8, and the staff can know that the elevator will soon arrive at the front floor 7. When the elevator reaches the front floor 7, the self-holding of the relay contacts 1 and 5 is released, and the display device 6 becomes inactive.

In this way, in this embodiment, when a customer descends from a certain floor to the front floor, the buzzer installed at the front desk notifies the front desk staff, and the elevator carrying the customer will soon arrive at the front floor. Since the display device indicates to the staff that there are customers passing through the front desk, the staff at the front desk can know that there are customers passing through the front desk and can prepare for this in advance, thereby improving the service. Unexpected troubles can be prevented.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the buzzer is activated first,
Although the display device is activated when the elevator approaches the front floor, this can also be reversed. Alternatively, the relay contact 5 that operates when the elevator approaches the front floor may be connected in parallel to the other relay contacts 2 and 3, and only a buzzer or a display device may be used. Furthermore, only one of the relay contacts 2 and 3 may be provided. Further, the floor on which the relay contact 5 is closed is not limited to the second floor above the front floor, and other floors may also be selected. Moreover, the relay contact 5 can also be omitted.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the present invention, a notification device is provided at the front desk, and the notification device is activated when the destination floor registration device in the elevator car of the hotel indicates the front floor. I learned that there was a customer passing through the front desk,
By being able to prepare for this in advance, it is possible to improve service and prevent unexpected troubles.
