Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bed elevator operating system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Elevator operation methods include a fully-automatic operation method, a dedicated operation, a driver's operation, and a single-type operation method.

In the fully-automatic ride-on system, each hall has an upward call button and a downward call button. The hall call button and the car call button are all registered when pressed, and the car responds to the call. When the vehicle runs, it sequentially answers calls in the same direction as the running direction and stops, and when all of those calls have been answered, it automatically reverses and answers the calls in the opposite direction and travels.

In the exclusive operation, a switch is provided in the fully automatic boarding system, and when there is no signal from the switch, the fully automatic boarding operation is performed, but when there is a signal from the switch, the hall call registration is prohibited and the car Only calls can be registered and the doors are opened. Door closing is an operation in which the door closing button is continuously pressed to answer a car call after the doors are closed, and is used only for carrying luggage.

In addition, the driver-equipped full-automatic system normally operates by the driver-equipped full-automatic system, but when a signal with the driver is input, the door is opened, the door is closed by the driver's operation, and the hall call is made by the driver. You can pass by the will of the hand. Furthermore, even if there is a call in front of the car, it is possible to reverse the direction depending on the driver's will, and this method is generally applied to department stores.

The single-type automatic system has only one button in the hall, and only one call can be registered through the hall call button and the car call button. Often applied to elevators.

[0007]

As described above, there are several kinds of elevator operation methods. However, a bed elevator installed in a hospital can carry a bed car carrying a patient. An elevator with a long car in the back, usually with a dedicated driver. This is because when the sleeping car is put on the elevator, it is used exclusively so that other people cannot use it.

However, the exclusive changeover switch is generally attached to the operation box in the car, and the landing button
When waiting for a sleeping car, there may be many passengers and the sleeping car may not be able to get in, or if you are trying to rush an emergency patient to the floor with the operating room, If there is a floor call on the floor, it will be answered, so it will take a long time before the car arrives, which may have a serious impact on the emergency patient.

Further, since the exclusive switch is generally located inside the operation box, unless the operator has the exclusive key for opening the operation box, the operation cannot be switched to the exclusive operation and the usual hall call is answered. There is a problem that it takes more time to go to the floor with the operating room.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and provides an elevator control device that enables preferential use of a sleeping car by providing a button dedicated to the sleeping car. It is a thing.

[0011]

[Means for solving the problem] A special call button for a sleeper is provided in a hall, and an elevator operation control panel is provided with an operation mode switching section for switching between a fully automatic system and a single automatic system for mutual operation, a single automatic control unit, and a single automatic system. A system call storage unit is provided.

[0012]

With this configuration, when a bed-only call is generated, registration by the hall call at that time is canceled,
The elevator operation system was switched from the fully-automatic system to the single-system automatic system.After that, only the car call was answered, and the bed car arrived on the floor of the bed call and the bed car was not answered. Go straight to.

[0013]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described based on the embodiments shown in FIGS.

The control unit according to the present invention is constructed as shown in FIG. That is, the hall call button 1 and the car call button 2, and the respective hall call signal a and car call signal b are output and input to the call registration unit 3. A bed-only button 4 for the bed is provided, and the call signal c thereof is input to the call registration unit 3 and the operation method switching unit 5. In the operation mode switching unit 5, the call registration unit based on the bed call signal c for bed, the car call information g in the call storage unit 6 of the fully automatic system, and the call information h in the call storage unit 7 of the single automatic system. Call switch signal h to 3
Is output. At the same time, the operation mode switching signal k is output to the fully automatic control section 8 and the single type automatic control section 9. The call registration unit 3 registers the hall call signal a, the car call signal b, and the bed hall call signal c, but based on the call switching signal f, the call storage unit 6 of the fully-automatic system is used. It is determined whether the hall call or the car call information d is output or the single-sided automatic call information e is output to the storage unit of the single-sided automatic system 7.

When there is no single-direction automatic switching signal k, the full-automatic control unit 8 is a control unit for causing the car to perform full-automatic operation on the basis of the hall call and car call information j. If it stops working. The single-type automatic control unit 9 is a control unit that stops the function when the signal of k is not present, but when it is present, performs a single-type automatic operation based on the single-type automatic call information i. The above control unit is built in the microcomputer shown in FIG.

That is, the elevator operation control device 10 has a microcomputer 11 built therein, and the microcomputer 11 has an input buffer 12, a microprocessor 13,
It is composed of a write-only storage device (hereinafter referred to as ROM) 14, a write / read storage device (hereinafter referred to as RAM) 15, an output driver (not shown), and the like. The hall call button 1, the car call button 2, and the bed hall button 4 for a bed. Each of the signals is input to the microcomputer via the input buffer 12.

The respective functions of the call registration unit 3, the operation mode switching unit 5, the fully automatic control unit 8 and the single type automatic control unit 9 in FIG. 1 are stored in the ROM 14 as a software program, and the MPU 13 sequentially corresponds to these functions. Is what is executed. In addition, the call storage unit 6 of the fully automatic system
The information corresponding to the call storage unit 7 of the single system is the RAM 15
And is used by the MPU 13. The present invention having such a configuration operates as follows.

In the configuration of FIG. 1, the operation method switching section 5
Then, first, it is determined whether or not there is a sleeper call or a single automatic call (A in FIG. 2), and if there is no call, it is determined whether or not the single automatic call is in progress (B in FIG. 2). , By deleting the switching signal k to the single type automatic operation, the fully automatic control section 8 is operated, and the call switching signal f is also deleted (C in FIG. 2).
In addition, when there is a sleeper call or a single-mode automatic call, it is determined whether or not there is a car call in the fully-automatic method (D in FIG. 2), and while there is a call, the fully automatic passenger method is performed through the determination B in FIG. 2. However, at the time when it becomes nothing, the operation method outputs the signal f for switching to the single-type automatic operation, and the single-type automatic control unit 9 operates,
The call switching signal f is output. Even if the bed call is lost, if it is during the single automatic mode (B in FIG. 2), it is determined whether a certain time has passed since the call disappeared (bottom of FIG. 2).
The single-type automatic system will be continued, and then the directional-coupling fully automatic system will be restored.

Next, the call registration unit 3 judges whether there is a call switching signal (G in FIG. 3) and there is no bed call (H in FIG. 3). And (Fig. 3
I, J) and the calls are stored in the storage unit 6 (K in FIG. 3). Then, when a bed call occurs (determination of H in FIG. 3), the landing call is deleted and subsequent calls are prohibited (L in FIG. 3).
However, the car call is prohibited from registering subsequent calls (M in FIG. 3).
To do. After that, when all the car calls are lost, the call switching signal f is output from the operation mode switching unit 5 (see FIGS. 2 and 3), the input prohibition of the car call is released, and the car call or the bed call is a single call. It is treated as an automatic call (P in FIG. 3), and the storage unit 7
Memorized in.

Since the present invention functions as described above, normally, a fully automatic boarding operation is performed. However, when a bed call for a bed occurs, the landing call up to that point is canceled, and the subsequent landing call, The car call is prohibited, and after answering the final car call, it switches to single-mode automatic operation and answers the bed call for the bed. After that, it is treated as a single type automatic operation, and after a lapse of a certain period of time after the call disappears, it will return to full-automatic operation.

In the above example, the normal car call button is handled as a bed call after switching, but another bed call button is provided in the car, and after switching, the button is called. May be registered as. In addition, after the call for the bed is generated, the operation is switched to the exclusive use for the bed, so that a display indicating that the exclusive operation is in progress may be output to the hall.

[0022]

According to the present invention, by registering a bed call, a single automatic system is provided for the bed only after passengers get off, so that the person who originates the bed call can use it exclusively. .. Therefore, it is very effective in an emergency case where an ambulance is used to transport a person who has been carried to the floor where the operating room is located.

The operation method is switched by simply pressing the call button for the bed, and after a certain period of time when there is no call, the operation is automatically returned to the fully-automatic method. It is very convenient because it does not require a switching key or a special switch as in the past, and there is no work to restore it.
