DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 are diagrams showing an embodiment of a security system for an apartment house including an elevator device according to the present invention.
In FIG. 1, a car 8 of an elevator device provided in an apartment house has a counterweight 12 attached thereto via a rope, and the rope is connected to a drive sheave 11 of a hoisting machine 11.
a. The hoisting machine 11 is controlled by an elevator control panel 5 provided in a machine room or a hoistway. Further, the elevator control panel 5 receives a press signal from a hall button 14 provided on each floor other than the lobby floor.

On the other hand, in the apartment house, a central control device 7 for managing home automation is provided in a management room. In this control room, an intercom master unit 14 is provided, and in each dwelling unit of the condominium, an intercom master unit 1 is provided.
3a to 13c (auto-lock release means) are provided, and the intercom slave unit 1 is provided at the common entrance. The base units 14 and 13a to 13c of the intercom and the sub unit 1 are connected to the central control unit 7 by a communication bus line. An interface 6 is provided between the central control device 7 and the elevator control panel 5, and these are connected by a data bus line. Therefore, the central control device 7 and the elevator control panel 5 can mutually exchange information.

[0013] When boarding the elevator on the lobby floor, the resident checks with a non-contact key, and the visitor checks with a numeric keypad. Only when confirmed, the door is opened and the user enters the elevator. These signals are compared with signals registered in the central control unit in advance in the elevator control panel. Next, the entire flow including the operation of the elevator will be described with reference to a flowchart.

(1) Visitor mode When a visitor visits a resident from outside the apartment complex, the visitor talks with the resident at the collective unit (child unit) at the common entrance, and receives permission to release the automatic lock. (S1), the resident presses the auto-lock release button with the dwelling unit intercoms 13a to 13c (S2), and a signal is output to the central control device.
This signal is output to the elevator control panel 5 via the interface (S3). Upon receiving the signal, the elevator control panel 5 causes the car 8 to travel to the lobby floor (S4), and upon arrival, waits without opening the door (S5).

Here, it is assumed that the lobby floor is the floor where the collective entrance is located. At this time, the elevator control panel starts timer counting for a preset time. This set time can be arbitrarily set. Next, the visitor inputs the number of the room to be visited with the ten keys for the elevator (S6). Next, the elevator control panel compares the signal with a signal unique to each intercom output from the central control device in advance (S7). If the two signals match as a result of the comparison, the elevator control panel opens the elevator door on the lobby floor (S8). Next, when the visitor gets into the elevator and presses the destination floor button in the car to register a call (S9), the elevator control panel drives the car to the destination floor and arrives (S10, 11).

On the other hand, if the ten key signal and the intercom signal output from the central control panel are not collated in (S7), or if both signals do not match as a result of the collation, counting is started in (S5). It is confirmed whether or not the set time has expired (S12). If the time has expired, the procedure starts again from the start (START). Before expiration, ten-key input can be performed (S5,
S6). After the door is opened, the destination floor is not registered (S
9) Even when the door is closed, the numeric keypad is input again (S
Perform 6).

(2) Resident Mode When the resident returns to the house from outside, the operation of releasing the auto lock is performed using the dwelling key at the collective unit (child unit) at the common entrance (S1). Next, a release signal is output to the central controller,
This signal is output to the elevator control panel 5 via the interface (S2). The elevator control panel 5 moves the car 8 to the lobby floor (S3) and waits without opening the door after arrival (S4). At this time, the elevator control panel starts timer counting for a preset time. Next, the resident brings the non-contact key closer to the key reader head (S5). The signal of the key reader head is output to the elevator control panel via the key reader control panel and collated with the signal registered in advance in the elevator control panel (S6). If the two signals match as a result of the comparison, the elevator control panel opens the elevator door on the lobby floor (S7). Next, the resident gets on the elevator and presses the destination floor button in the car to register a call (S
8). Next, the elevator control panel makes the car travel to the destination floor and arrives (S9, 10).

On the other hand, if the key reader signal and the signal registered in advance in the elevator control panel are not collated in (S6), or if both signals do not match as a result of the collation, counting is started in (S4). It is determined whether or not the set time has expired (S11). If the time has expired, the procedure starts again from the beginning (START). If the time has not expired, a non-contact key input (S4, S5) is performed.
If the destination floor is not registered after the door is opened (S8) and the door is closed (S12), the non-contact key input (S5) is performed again.

As described above, in the elevator having the configuration of the present invention, if the automatic lock is released, the elevator is called the lobby floor, but the elevator does not open unless the signals of the numeric keypad and the non-contact key are verified.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Even if a visitor or a resident releases the auto-lock and a suspicious person enters the building at the same time, the suspicious person cannot use the elevator, thus preventing the suspicious person from reaching the entrance to the dwelling unit be able to.
