Signal and the operation state signal from the operation control unit 84, it is determined whether the operated operating device and its timing are proper or erroneous.

When the judgment is properly made, the correctness / incorrectness judging section 83 outputs a response sound output command to the operation control section 84. The voice guidance control unit 85 is close to the wheelchair being transported by an output command from the correctness determination unit 83 to the voice guidance device 86, and by a preset start signal of a response sound and a driving state signal from the driving control unit 84. Select the speaker,
The selection signal is output.

The voice guidance device 86 receives the signal from the voice guidance control unit 85 and outputs the voice guidance speaker 87a or 87b.
In response to this, a preset response sound, response message, etc. are output, and the response sound, response message, etc. are broadcast from the voice guide speaker 87a or 87b.

With such a configuration, the staff or the like can easily confirm that the operation button or the like which is required to be effective or operated is operated during the normal operation, the ascending operation or the descending operation of the wheelchair transport operation. It will be possible.

In the sixth embodiment described above, a warning sound or a warning message is further stored in the voice guidance device 86, and an output of an erroneous operation guidance output command is added to the voice guidance control unit 85 by the correctness determination unit 83. , In case of incorrect operation,
A warning sound or a warning message may be broadcast.

With such a structure, there is always some reaction when an operation is performed, so that an erroneous operation can be more reliably prevented, and a failure of the sounding means can be detected early.

As another example, a method may be considered in which sound producing means (buzzer, chime, etc.) are individually provided in the vicinity of the respective operation buttons and the like, and each sound producing means is controlled independently of the voice synthesizer.

FIG. 13 shows a seventh embodiment of the present invention, and is a block diagram of a portable operation panel incorporating a riding confirmation button, a descending confirmation button and the like. In FIG. 13, 92 is a ride confirmation button, and 93
Is a landing confirmation button display light, 94 is a landing confirmation button display light, 95 is a landing confirmation button display light, 96 is a space transmission signal transmitting unit, 97 is a space transmission signal receiving unit, and these are incorporated in the portable operation panel 91. There is.

Although not shown, a transmission / reception device for the control device is installed at a position where transmission / reception can be performed with the main operation panel near the man conveyer device to transmit / receive signals. In the operation panel having such a configuration, by inputting a signal from the control device to the ride confirmation button indicator lamp 94 via the spatial transmission signal receiving section 97 at the time when the ride confirmation button 92 is required to be operated, the ride confirmation indicator lamp 94 is input. 94 starts blinking, informs an attendant, etc., and the boarding confirmation button 92 becomes effective.

By operating the ride confirmation button 92, an operation signal is transmitted to the control device via the space transmission signal transmission unit 96. The controller outputs a confirmation signal after confirming the input of the signal. The signal is transmitted through the space transmission signal receiving unit 97, whereby the passenger confirmation indicator lamp 94 is turned on by a preset lighting method (flashing speed becomes faster, lighting for several seconds, etc.), so that a person in charge or the like can turn it on. Confirm the end of transmission.

The operation when it is necessary to operate the descending confirmation button 93 is similar to that described above. With such a configuration, the ride confirmation button and the disembarkation confirmation button can be used both for the ascending operation and for the descending operation, and prevent erroneous operation.
Since it is portable, operability is improved.

[0091]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily identify the operation buttons or the like that can be operated or are required during the normal operation, the ascending operation or the descending operation of the wheelchair transfer operation. It becomes easy to identify whether the operated operation button or the like is proper or the operation is incorrect. In addition, by combining the switch that causes the erroneous operation with the intention, it is possible to prevent the erroneous operation and prevent the man conveyor device from being stopped for a long time due to them, and at the same time, unfamiliar staff or the like. However, the operation can be easily performed.
