Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator control device for improving security in an apartment house or an office.

  In recent years, security systems in buildings have come to be regarded as important, such as floors with computer rooms, floors with offices of company executives, and floors where all tenant employees leave the office at night. A system that permits elevator access only to persons with a predetermined qualification is in operation. As a control device for this type of elevator, a system has been proposed in which only a floor set in advance by a card reader installed in an elevator car can be called and registered (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).

Also, in apartment buildings, etc., the fingerprint verification terminal reads the resident's fingerprint data and performs personal authentication. If authenticated, the electric lock at the common entrance is unlocked, and the elevator interlocks with this unlocking. A system for automatically registering a destination floor has also been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2 below).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-238652 JP 2001-140519 A

  However, in any of the two conventional systems described above, if there are a plurality of permitted destination floors, the elevators will be opened at the plurality of floors, thereby increasing the security level. There was a problem of being lowered.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator control device that can prevent a decrease in security level even when there are a plurality of permitted destination floors. And

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an elevator control apparatus that controls the operation of an elevator by reading a card on which personal identification information and destination call registration permission floor information are recorded, and is installed in the elevator car. The card reader that reads the card and the information read by the card reader are input, and whether or not the user is a legitimate user of the elevator based on the personal identification information is confirmed. Security device for outputting destination call registration permission floor information, destination call registration information generated by the elevator user operating the destination floor registration means, destination call registration permission floor information output by the security device, and Operation control that operates the elevator by registering only one destination call that matches the floor by matching It is characterized in that a location.

  By configuring as described above, even if there are a plurality of permitted destination floors, since only one destination call is registered at all times, there is no situation where the elevators are opened at a plurality of floors. A reduction in security level can be prevented.

[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a first embodiment of an elevator control apparatus according to the present invention. In the figure, a rope is wound around a hoisting machine 9 to which an electric motor for driving an elevator is coupled, a car 1 is coupled to one end of the rope, and a counterweight 10 is coupled to the other end. Among these, a known card reader 2 and a destination floor registration button 4 as destination floor registration means are installed in the car 1. The security device 3 inputs the card information read by the card reader 2 and a signal indicating that the destination floor registration button 4 has been operated, determines whether the passenger of the car 1 is a legitimate user, When it is confirmed that the user is a legitimate user, the destination call registration permission floor information is output and output to the operation control device 5A. The operation control device 5A inputs the destination call registration information by the destination floor registration button 4 and the information on the destination call registration permission floor outputted from the security device 3, and collates the two to sequentially register the destination calls one by one. Thus, the hoisting machine 9 is controlled by limiting the number of destination call registrations so as not to exceed the number of destination call registrations described in advance on the card.

  The operation of the first embodiment configured as described above will be described below. An elevator user inserts into the card reader 2 a card in which personal identification information (ID information) and information on destination call registration permission floors where, for example, landings on the second floor, the tenth floor and the fifteenth floor can be registered are described. Subsequently, assume that the destination floor registration button 4 on the 10th floor is operated. Information read by the card reader 2 and destination floor call registration information generated by operating the destination floor registration button 4 are input to the security device 3, and destination floor call registration information is input to the operation control device 5A. Is done.

  The security device 3 operates on condition that the card information and the destination floor call registration information are input, determines whether or not the elevator passenger is a valid user based on the personal identification information, and may be a valid user. When confirmed, information indicating that the destination call registration permission floors are the second floor, the tenth floor and the 15th floor is output to the operation control device 5A. The operation control device 5A inputs the destination call registration information generated by operating the destination floor registration button 4 and the destination call registration permission floor information output by the security device 3, and compares the two to match the floors. Only one destination call is registered and the hoisting machine 9 is controlled.

  In this case, if the user first presses the 15th floor destination call button, the 15th floor destination call is registered. If the destination call button on the 10th floor is pressed after the destination call button on the 15th floor, the operation control device 5A recognizes that both floors are called and registered at the same time, and the destination for any floor is determined. Call registration is not performed. Next, if the user gets into the car 1 at the 15th floor landing and presses the destination call button on the 10th floor, the destination call registration on the 10th floor is made. Further, when the user enters the car 1 at the 10th floor landing and presses the second floor destination call button, the second floor destination call registration is performed. No other destination calls are registered.

  In this way, when the number of destination call registration permission floors described in advance on the card is the limit number of destination call registrations, and the number of times the destination call registration floor is input from the destination floor registration button exceeds the limit number of destination call registrations Destination call registration is disabled.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure of the CPU constituting the security device 3. Here, it is determined whether or not an access signal has been received from the card reader 2 in step 11, and only when it is received, the personal identification information is read in step 12, and the information on the destination call registration permission floor is read in step 13. Subsequently, in step 14, for example, a timer set for a time limit of 10 seconds is started, and in step 15, it is determined whether or not the set time of this timer has elapsed. In step 16 before the set time elapses, it is determined whether or not the personal identification information matches the personal information registered in advance, that is, whether or not the user is a valid user. In step 17, the destination call registration permission floor information is output and added to the operation control device 5A. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 16 that the user is not a valid user, or if the set time of the timer has elapsed in step 15, the security process is terminated.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure of the CPU constituting the operation control device 5A. In the figure, it is determined whether or not there is destination call registration information from the destination floor registration button 4 in step 21, and the processing in and after step 22 is executed only when it is determined that there is. In step 22, the destination call registration permission floor information from the security device 3 is input and read, and then in step 23, it is determined whether the registration floor for the destination call matches the registration permission floor. If they match, the destination call registration floor is temporarily stored in the buffer in step 24. If they do not match, the process is terminated at that time. In step 25, the number of times temporarily stored in the buffer is counted, and in step 26, the number of destination call registration permission floors is set as the limit number of destination call registrations, and it is determined whether or not the count number of destination calls exceeds the limit number. To do. If the count number does not exceed the limit number, the destination call temporarily stored in the buffer is registered in step 27. If it is determined that the count is exceeded, all the destination calls temporarily stored in the buffer are canceled and processed at that time. Exit.

  Thus, according to the first embodiment, even if there are a plurality of permitted destination floors, since only one destination call is always registered, there is no situation in which the elevator opens at a plurality of floors. Thus, it is possible to prevent the security level from being lowered.

  In addition, since the number of destination call registration permission floors recorded on the card is used as the limit number of destination call registrations, there is an effect that the number of call registrations can be arbitrarily set according to the recording state of the card.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 4 is a schematic configuration diagram of a second embodiment of the elevator control apparatus according to the present invention. In FIG. 4, the same elements as those in FIG. 1 showing the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals. The description thereof is omitted. Here, the monitoring panel 6 that monitors the operation of the elevator is provided with a non-stop switch 7 that allows an administrator of the elevator to set a non-stop floor from the outside, for example. The destination call registration for the non-stop floor set by is disabled. In other words, if the floor set as non-stop and the registered floor of the destination call match, the setting of the non-stop switch 7 is given priority. The configuration is exactly the same.

  The operation of the second embodiment configured as described above will be described below with a focus on portions that differ from the first embodiment in configuration.

  It is assumed that the elevator manager sets the non-stop from the second floor to the tenth floor with the non-stop switch 7 provided in the monitoring panel 6. Here, when the elevator user accesses the card reader 2 in the car 1 and presses the destination floor registration button 4 on the 15th floor using a card capable of registering the second floor, the 10th floor and the 15th floor. Calls on the 15th floor are registered. When the elevator user presses the destination floor registration button 4 on the second floor or the tenth floor, the operation control device 5B is set to the second floor to the tenth floor by the non-stop switch 7, so that the second floor Alternatively, it is determined that registration of a destination call on the 10th floor is not possible and is not registered.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure of the CPU constituting the operation control device 5B. In this flowchart, only the process of Step 23A is added between Step 23 and Step 24, and the other processes are the same as those in FIG. 3 described as the first embodiment. Therefore, for the sake of simplicity, the processing in step 23A will be described. Here, the registered floor of the destination call by the destination floor registration button 4 and the non-stop floor set by the non-stop switch 7 of the monitoring panel 6 are shown. It is determined whether or not they match. If they do not match, the processing from step 24 is executed. If they match, all the destination calls temporarily stored in the buffer are canceled, the processing is terminated, and the call registration processing is performed. Stop.

  Thus, according to the second embodiment, even if there are a plurality of permitted destination floors, since only one destination call is always registered, there is no situation where the elevator opens at a plurality of floors. Thus, it is possible to prevent the security level from being lowered.

  In addition, even if information on the destination call registration permission floor is recorded on the card, there is an effect that the non-stop switch 7 can flexibly cope with a change in the floor related to security.

[Third Embodiment]
In the third embodiment described above, the non-stop floor can be set and canceled at any time by the non-stop switch 7 of the monitoring panel 6. However, a specific floor is not always set regardless of the setting of the non-stop switch 7. There is a need to stop. In this case, a non-stop floor setting function may be added to the security device 3 so as not to output the destination call registration permission floor information for the non-stop floor.

  Although drawings for the configuration and processing procedure of the fourth embodiment are omitted, a specific example thereof will be briefly described. It is assumed that the elevator manager has set the non-stop switch from the 10th floor to the 14th floor by the non-stop switch 7 provided on the monitoring panel 6, and the security device 3 has been set to the non-stop from the 15th floor to the 20th floor. To do.

  An elevator user can register the destination call registration permission floor information that can register the second floor, the tenth floor, and the 15th floor landing and insert the card into the card reader 2 and press the second floor destination floor registration button 4 In this case, the second floor destination call registration is performed in the operation control device. However, even if the destination floor registration button 4 on the 10th floor is pressed, the destination call registration is not performed because it is set to the non-stop floor by the non-stop switch 7, and further, the destination floor registration button 4 on the 15th floor is pressed. Even so, the destination call registration is not performed because the security device 3 does not output the destination call registration permission floor information on the 15th floor.

  Thus, according to the fourth embodiment, even if there are a plurality of permitted destination floors, since only one destination call is always registered, there is no situation in which the elevator opens at a plurality of floors. Thus, it is possible to prevent the security level from being lowered.

  Further, it is possible to satisfy the necessity of always stopping a specific floor regardless of the setting of the non-stop switch 7.

[Fourth Embodiment]
FIG. 6 is a schematic configuration diagram of the fourth embodiment of the elevator control apparatus according to the present invention, in which the same elements as those in FIG. 1 showing the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals. The description thereof is omitted. Here, the announcement device 8 is provided in the car 1, and the operation control device 5C notifies the user of the call registration usage method by the card reader 2, and the destination call registration operation is performed for the floor where the destination call registration is impossible. However, the configuration differs from that of the first embodiment in that the destination call registration is not possible, and the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  The operation of the fourth embodiment configured as described above will be described below with a focus on portions that differ from the first embodiment in particular. Assume that an elevator user accesses a card reader 2 in the car 1 by using a card that can register a landing call on the 10th floor and presses a destination floor registration button 4 on the 15th floor. Upon receiving the access signal from the card reader 2, the security device 3 outputs information on the 10th floor destination call registration permission floor that can be registered by the user and transmits it to the operation control device 5C. The operation control device 5C judges that the destination call registration permission floor on the 10th floor from the security device 3 and the destination call registration floor on the 15th floor from the destination floor registration button 4 are inconsistent and does not perform call registration, and announces. When the device 8 is used to inform the user of how to use the call registration by the card reader 2 or when a destination call registration operation is performed on a floor where destination call registration is not possible, “Please start again” Etc. are announced.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure of the CPU constituting the operation control device 5C. In this flowchart, only the process of Step 23B is added while the process is completed in Step 23 and Step 23A, and the other processes are the same as those in FIG. 5 described as the second embodiment. In step 23B, the announcement device 8 is notified of the usage method of the card reader 2, and a message for prompting re-operation is transmitted, and the series of processes is terminated.

  Thus, according to the fifth embodiment, even if there are a plurality of permitted destination floors, since only one destination call is always registered, there is no situation in which the elevator opens at a plurality of floors. Thus, it is possible to prevent the security level from being lowered.

  In addition, even for passengers who are unfamiliar with using the card reader 2, it is possible to provide guidance or to prompt the user to operate the card reader 2 appropriately.

  Although not shown, in the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the non-stop switch 7 described in the second embodiment is provided, or as described in the third embodiment. It is of course possible to add a non-stop floor setting function to the security device 3.

[Other Embodiments]
In each of the above-described embodiments, the destination call registration information is generated using the destination floor registration button 4. However, instead of this, other destination floor registration means such as a device that generates voice and generates destination call registration information. The present invention can also be applied to an elevator equipped with
