Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an elevator arrival forecasting device.

Various methods have been proposed for elevator landing arrival forecast notification devices, taking into consideration ease of use and ease of waiting time for passengers. There are restrictions on equipment.

In addition, in order to provide as much information as possible to passengers waiting at the boarding area using the limited forecast notification equipment, it is possible to project various text messages on a display device or to broadcast the information using an announcement device. It is relatively difficult to read the displayed characters, and there are concerns about their credibility.On the other hand, too many announcements can cause noise, which is not desirable.

However, recently, a liquid crystal television that is the size of a wristwatch has appeared, and therefore a television or display device that is the size of a hall lantern can also be realized. Furthermore, it is thought that passengers waiting at the landing are not anxious just by seeing the lights on, and would feel much more at ease if they could confirm with their own eyes what condition the target car is currently in.

Therefore, the present invention configures the landing arrival forecast means with a small display device, thereby making it possible to display an image of the situation inside the destination car, thereby alleviating passengers' sense of impatience while waiting. To provide an elevator arrival forecasting device capable of notifying passengers waiting at a hall of appropriate information about the purpose of arrival.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the relationship between the car room and the camera for displaying the destination car white information on the elevator arrival device of this invention. A car operation panel 3 is a photographing device such as a video camera installed in the upper part of the inner part of the car room 1, and this photographing device 3 is used to photograph the inside of the car room. Further, 4 is a car door, 5 is a landing door, 6 is a hoistway wall, and 7Fi is a landing pole.

FIG. 2 shows one form of the hall display device 8 for displaying the image inside the car photographed by the camera 3 at the hall. It is equipped with display devices 8U and 8D, and the display device 8Ut; the display device 8D for raising the car is for displaying the information inside the car for descending cars separately, and these are used in the same way as a conventional hall lantern. It is installed on the side wall of the landing. It should be noted that the display device for the rising 9 and the falling 9 may be used in common.

FIG. 3 shows another form of the hall display device 8 according to the present invention, in which the display device 8U for going up and the display device 8D for getting off the train are round.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the image screen displayed on the display device 8U or 8D. The call registration status, in-car indicator 1
0, the car position, the number of passengers 11 in the car, etc. are displayed.

FIG. 5 shows the hall display device 8 shown in FIG.
This shows the front view of the landing area when installed on the landing area of the floor.
A display device 8 equipped with display devices 8U5 and 8D5 for ascending and descending is installed at the upper left of the elevator entrance 9 in the hall, and this display device 3U5 or 8D5 is equipped with a camera 3 in the corresponding car room 1. The captured car interior images are displayed according to the direction of the car.

Further, 1'2U is a hall call button for going up provided at the landing on the fifth floor.The hall call button 12D is also a hall call button for getting off.

FIG. 6 shows an electrical circuit diagram for displaying images inside the car on a display device at the landing, which is provided for each car. In the figure, 13 is a receiver that receives an image signal from the camera 3 in the car room 1, and 14 is a display device for receiving the image signal from the receiver 13 on each floor, for example, from the 1st floor to the 5th floor. This is a tuner that transmits data to 8U5. Each of the above display devices 8U1 to 8U5 is (+
) is connected in parallel between the power source and ground, and between each display device 8U1 to 8U5 and the (. The normally open contacts 21 Ua - 25'Ua of the car arrival forecast relay are connected in series.Although Fig. 6 shows only the ascending direction, the same applies to the descending direction. Illustrated and explained J
is omitted.

Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

Suppose now that the car in question picks up passengers from the first floor and departs in the ascending direction, and that car calls are registered for the third and fourth floors. Then, the buttons ■ and ■ for the third floor and the fourth floor, indicated by the next floor button 2a in FIG. 4, light up. In addition, in this state, when the 5th floor climbing hall button 12U shown in FIG. The arrival forecast relay for the ascending floor picks up the car, and as a result, its normally open contact 25Ua closes, causing the (+)TL
A closed circuit between the power source, the contact 25U"a, the display device 8U5, and the ground is formed, and the display device 8U5 for forecasting the arrival on the 5th floor of the car is set to a state in which display is possible. This allows the υ camera 3 to take pictures. Car compartment 1 while the elevator car is running
The image inside will be displayed on the lift display device 8U5 in a state as shown in FIG. At this time, it is easy to generate a forecast sound, and this is a well-known technique.

Therefore, the passengers waiting on the 5th floor landing move to the front of the car in which the forecast sound and display are in operation, and the climbing display device 8U5
By looking at the image projected on the screen, it is possible to recognize which floor the corresponding car is currently ascending using the in-car indicator 10, and to check where the car call is registered using the car operation panel 2. Furthermore, the user can concretely check the situation inside the destination car with his own eyes, such as how crowded it is with passengers, and wait for the arrival of the car accordingly.

Such an operation is performed in the same manner as described above in other landings other than the fifth floor, and the explanation thereof will be omitted. Furthermore, by operating the display device for getting off when a call is made for getting off, it is of course possible to display the destination car status in the same way as for the upcoming direction.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the arrival forecast means at the landing is constructed with a display device consisting of a small CRT, etc., and the situation inside the car is also displayed as an image. It's different from waiting for the arrival of your destination with only half-hearted belief in the information about the lighting of the hall lantern.

It is possible to wait for the arrival of the car while accurately knowing the location of the destination car, the floor where the car is called, the level of passenger congestion, etc.
Therefore, the feeling of impatience with waiting is alleviated, and the sense of security can be greatly improved. In addition, the design of the landing hall can be simply summarized as a landing hall lantern without breaking conventional wisdom, and it can provide enough actual information to impress waiting passengers.
The ease of use of the elevator can be greatly improved.
