A speed detector device capable of making speed measurements of an elevator in its relatively slow speed region comprises a pulse generator generating two-phase pulse signals with a predetermined phase difference between both signals, in a period according to the rotational speed of a motor, a pulse processing circuit for outputting corresponding triggers in response to the rising edge and the falling edge of each of the pulse signals generated by the pulse generator, a timer counter, latches for latching the output of the timer counter at the timing of the triggers, and calculating circuit for calculating the period of the pulse signals based on the timer counter output and for calculating the speed of the elevator based on the period calculated. The above arrangement allows data to be latched not only at the rising edge of the one pulse signal, but also at the falling edge of the same pulse signal and the rising and falling edges of the other pulse. Thus, even if no rising edge exists during a CPU read cycle, speed detection is possible at the other rising edges. Thus, accurate speed measurements are achieved.

Speed detector device for elevator

An emergency intercommunication system for an elevator has an interphone unit and an intercommunication command switch located in an elevator car. A telephone number input apparatus for inputting the desired telephone number is provided in an elevator hall, in connection with a register apparatus for storing the input telephone number. An intercommunication command detecting section for detecting the actuation of the switch is provided in connection with an emergency call apparatus for automatically dialing the stored telephone number to connect the interphone unit with a telephone having the telephone number when the actuation of the switch is detected by the detecting apparatus. Preferably, an identification number input apparatus is provided in the elevator hall so that the register apparatus stores the telephone number only when it is input together with a predetermined identification number.

Emergency intercommunication system for elevator

An elevator monitor apparatus comprises an elevator control device for controlling the driving of an elevator, an individual control device for controlling the status of elevators building by building, a central monitor device for centrally monitoring the status of the elevator in a plurality of buildings. There is also provided a job start signal generation device for generating a job starting signal when an elevator maintenance and check-up job is started, a job completion signal generation device for generating a job completion signal when an elevator maintenance and check-up job is finished, and a communication control device for communicating with the elevator control device according to an instruction from the individual control device and for outputting an abnormality signal to the central monitor device when a job completion signal from the job completion signal generation device is not detected before a predetermined time has elapsed.

Elevator monitor apparatus

A display apparatus for an elevator in which a message to be reported to the users of the elevator, such as the running status of the elevator, is displayed by a display unit disposed in a cage or a hall, a control is performed by a display control device so that the message to be reported may be displayed in a designated display aspect on the display unit, and the designation of the display aspect and the simulative display of a message in an aspect corresponding to the designated display aspect are carried out with a display aspect correction device, whereby the display as intended can be presented.

Display apparatus for elevator

A display control apparatus for an elevator comprising a clock which delivers time information, memory means to store a plurality of items of greeting information dependent upon times, selection means to select from the memory means the greeting information item corresponding to the current time given by the clock, and synthesis means to deliver the selected greeting information item in combination with general information as display information. When the selection means derives the greeting information corresponding to the current time from the memory means on the basis of the time information of the clock, the synthesis means applies it to a display unit in combination with the general information, whereby appropriate greeting information items are presented to the users of the elevator at proper times.
