Abstract

This button display device (27) is provided with a display (32), a beam splitter (33), a retroreflective material (34), and a passage restriction material (38). Light transmitted through the beam splitter (33) from the retroreflective material (34) passes through a through-hole (36) and forms an image, whereby an image of a destination button (26) is displayed in air. The passage restriction material (38) restricts passing light so that the light from the retroreflective material (34) transmitted through the beam splitter (33) passes through a first space (S1) in the through-hole (36) and does not pass through a second space (S2) around the first space (S1). According to the button display device (27), it is possible to prevent a user other than the user operating the button from knowing the button operation content.

Abstract

Provided is an elevator temperature estimation system capable of more easily improving the accuracy of temperature estimation even in cases of thermal interference due to heating or cooling. In the temperature estimation system (8), an ambient temperature sensor (9) measures the ambient temperature of an elevator (1). A computation unit (11) performs a temperature estimation computation at a temperature estimation point by using the ambient temperature and control information of the elevator (1) as inputs. The control information, which has a causal relationship with transient heating or cooling, is input from a control device (7) of the elevator (1). The thermal model used in the temperature estimation computation is a thermal circuit model that includes an RC ladder and a thermal flow source. The parameters of the thermal model are identified ahead of time on the basis of the control information corresponding to the operating condition of the elevator (1) and the measured temperature at the temperature estimation point and the ambient temperature. The thermal flow source uses changes in the magnitude of the thermal flow to represent the temporal change in heating or cooling caused by equipment affecting the temperature estimation point, in accordance with the control information.
