Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) - The present invention relates to group management control of elevators, and in particular to a group management control device for control elevators that provides services only to specific users. Regarding.

(Prior art) It has been a long time since microcomputers appeared in this world.
Its applications continue to expand in various industrial fields.

And its benefits are immeasurable.

It is no exaggeration to say that it plays a part in the information and communication society that has become a hot topic of conversation recently.

The construction industry is no exception, and not only does it focus on building taller buildings, but it also strives to construct buildings that are fully equipped with information and communication-oriented equipment.

In the information and communication buildings that have emerged against this background, not only the living spaces but also the exchange of information between the first floors has been dramatically improved.

Nowadays, as the number of modernized buildings increases, one floor is serviced by multiple elevators installed in parallel as a transportation system to smoothly handle traffic between floors of the building. In order to efficiently operate each elevator installed in parallel, the group management control method that comprehensively controls all elevators has become mainstream.

This comprehensive control is group management control, and the purpose is to promptly select a service elevator for elevator users at a landing and have them arrive at the landing. When a hall call is registered, the service elevator is instantly determined and the forecast light (hall lantern) of the determined elevator on that floor is lit to notify the user, prompting the user to move to the elevator location. Also called lighting method. With the advent of this method, inter-floor traffic with multiple floors has been improved, and it is becoming established as an elevator control method in high-rise buildings.

In group management control, in order to improve the operating efficiency of multiple elevators (multiple elevators) installed in parallel and to improve service to elevator users, a small computer such as a microcomputer is used to control the answering machine for hall calls in the hall on each floor. Allocate reasonably and promptly using In other words, when a hall call occurs, the elevator that is most suitable for handling the hall call is selected and assigned as the elevator that responds to the hall call at an early stage.
Other elevators will not be allowed to respond to the hall call. Conventionally, the method used to select this assigning machine is to predict which elevator will arrive first at the floor where the hall call occurs, and then assign the hall call to that elevator.This method is considered to be the best. There is. Therefore,
Various methods have been devised to predict which elevator will arrive first. For example, by calculation, the predicted time for each elevator to arrive at each floor is calculated, and based on the magnitude of this value, it is determined which elevator will arrive first. Predicting the elevator. Then, the hall warning light on the floor where the hall call has occurred in the assigned elevator number is turned on to inform the user of the service elevator.

In such instant-lighting group management control, the group management control microcomputer detects newly generated hall calls by, for example, searching all halls in fixed time units, and detects newly generated hall calls. When there is a hall call (hereinafter referred to as a new call), a predetermined service elevator selection logic determines the optimal elevator from among all the elevators, and lights up the hall forecast light for that elevator.

Therefore, an elevator selection logic is activated every time a new call occurs, and this elevator selection logic includes various prediction logics (e.g., fullness prediction, car call first-come-first-served prediction, long-waiting prediction, etc.) to improve prediction accuracy. let

In such elevator group management control, a method (hereinafter referred to as VIP) that provides services only to specific users has recently been introduced.
) is often required. VIP
When driving, a dedicated elevator will be allocated to VIPs (the most important people, such as executives, guests, etc.), and they will avoid sharing rides with other passengers as much as possible.

In order to realize this VIP operation, first of all, in addition to the hall call button that is registered by general users, there is a VI that is registered by VIP.
A P call button is required. In addition, in order to prevent passengers on the -th floor and VIP from sharing a ride, the elevator that responds to the VIP call is determined in advance, and when the VIP hall call is registered, service for other hall calls is discontinued, and the elevator that responds to the VIP call is discontinued. After dropping off general passengers, they respond to VIP calls. The reason why the VIP call service number is determined in advance is that if both general calls and VIP are registered and a reservation is announced for each call, it will not only cause confusion for passengers at the landing, but also cause the VIP service number and general calls to be registered together. It becomes difficult to distinguish call service numbers. Therefore, by predetermining the VIP service number, reservation notification is not required and it is distinguished from the general call service number.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) As described above, in order to perform VIP operation, it is necessary to provide dedicated equipment at the landing or in a specific elevator, which is often disadvantageous in terms of cost. , in order to prevent general users from using the VIP call button at the landing, V
It is necessary to devise measures such as using the IP call itself as a key switch or installing the call button itself on the reception desk.

In this way, in conventional VIP operation, there is a VIP-only call button, V
It was necessary to install an IP service machine in advance, which was too expensive.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide VIP exclusive call buttons and VIP
The purpose is to enable VIP operation without installing a service machine in advance.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problem) That is, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention operates a plurality of elevators for a plurality of service floors, and selects and determines a service elevator for a hall call that occurs. In the group management control of the elevators to respond, only a specific elevator user has a key, which commands the destination floor by operating a key, and transmits this via radio waves along with his/her own specific code, and the elevator control based on this transmitted information. A mobile card that has the function of, upon receiving a received signal containing assigned elevator number information and a specific code from the system side, collating the specific code and displaying the assigned elevator number information on the display when the code matches the own code. , a transmitting/receiving system located near each landing that performs wireless communication with the mobile card, and a unit that receives information on the command destination floor and specific code from the signals received from each of these transmitting/receiving systems, and also controls each elevator. The control device obtains car call assignment information and car status information indicating the car status of each car, and this and the car information assigned to the command target floor are stored together with specific code information until the service is completed. The elevator with the smallest number of registered car calls and hall call assignments is selected for the received command target floor by referring to the data held in the holding unit of and a group management means that supplies the information to the transmitting/receiving system together with the specific code of the mobile card that generated the destination floor command.

(Function) In this configuration, the user commands the destination floor by operating the keys on the mobile card in his possession. The mobile card then transmits this command along with its own specific code via radio waves. This transmitted information is received by a transmitting/receiving system for wireless communication arranged near each hall. The reception signals received from each of these transmission/reception systems are given to the group management means, and the group management means receives the command target floor and specific code information contained in the reception signals from the single control device that controls the elevators of each unit. A holding unit holds information on the car name assignment of each received car, car status information indicating the car status, and car information assigned to the above-mentioned command target floor together with specific code information until the service ends. The optimal response machine for the received command target floor is selected by referring to the held data of Give it to the transmitter/receiver system along with the card's specific code. This information is then sent from the transmitter/receiver system. The mobile card receives this transmitted information, and when it receives a received signal that includes the elevator number information assigned from the elevator system based on the transmitted information and the above specific code, it checks the specific code and when it matches its own code. , displays the assigned elevator machine information on the display section.

Therefore, a specific user (VIP) can know the VIP service elevator by specifying the destination floor with a mobile card and approaching the platform, so there is no need to set up a VIP-only call, and the VIP service number can be specified in advance. Rather than specifying a specific number, all elevators can be treated as VIP service numbers, and the most suitable elevator can be selected and put into service on the VIP call registration floor.

FIGS. 8(a) and 8(b) are functional flowcharts showing the flow of control in the group management elevator control system according to the present invention.

Step ST1 and step 5T13 are human system (elevator user), step ST2 and step ST9 to step 5T12 are mobile card, step ST3 and step ST8 are sensor panel, and step ST4 to step ST7 are elevator control unit 30, respectively. It is something to do.

First, an elevator user specifies the destination floor using the mobile card 1 and approaches the elevator hall (S T 1
), of course, the elevator user may specify the destination floor after approaching the landing.The mobile card 1 adds its own card identification code to the destination floor code input by the elevator user and transmits the radio wave. (Sr1)
.

The sensor panel at the landing receives the radio waves from the mobile card 1, that is, the destination floor code and the card identification code, and outputs it to the elevator control unit 30 (Sr1°4).Then, the elevator control unit 30 receives the input destination. The floor to which the elevator should serve and its direction are determined based on the floor code and the installation floor of the sensor panel that gave the received data, and the card identification code is stored (Sr1). Then, the elevator with the least number of registered car calls and the number of registered hall calls to be responded to and the number of shared rides is determined and operated, and the identification value of the elevator is used as the display code and sent to the sensor panel (source of the destination floor code). (Sr1°7).

Next, FIG. 9 shows the detailed flow of ST6, in which the VIP
5 is a control flowchart of a method for evaluating an elevator that is in service with a call. Conventionally, VIP elevators are fixed, and V
Once an IP call was registered, the VIP elevator was put into service without any special evaluation. However, in the present invention, it is not necessary to specifically set up the VIP elevator, but it is necessary to perform an evaluation to improve the service for VIP calls.

First, at 5T60, select an elevator with a low passenger load, and also select an elevator with a small number of hall calls that are in service before responding to a VIP call.This prevents general passengers from boarding on other floors. 0 to do
Next, in 5T61, the time required for each elevator to respond to the VIP call generation floor is determined from information such as the car call registration floor and hall call registration floor, and the elevator that can respond in the minimum time is determined. Based on the result calculated in 5T60.61, the elevator to which the VIP call is to be answered is determined (ST62).

At this time, the card identification code stored in the previous step ST5 is added to the display code. The sensor panel transmits the display code and card identification value input in the elevator control unit 30 as a radio signal (Sr1), the mobile card 1 receives the radio signal (Sr1), and the mobile card 1 receives the received radio signal, i.e. , Compare the card identification code included in the received signal with its own card identification code (ST10.11). If the verification results do not match, the mobile card 1 determines that the transmitted information is not addressed to itself, and receives the information again. (return to Sr1). If they match, the mobile card 1 determines that the information is addressed to itself, and displays the display code that was input together with the card identification code as an image on the display device installed in the mobile card 1. Output to 5 (S T
l2) The elevator user sees the identification value of the service elevator shown in the display contents and waits in front of that elevator (ST13).

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the layout of the elevator hall,
41a and 41d each indicate the car number of the elevator.

Now, suppose that the landing shown in FIG. 7 is on the first floor (IF), and a user who has registered the destination floor as "5th floor" on the mobile card 1 shown in FIG. in possession of 1
Suppose you approach the landing on the floor.

At this time, if the service elevator is the third one, the number "3" will be displayed on the display 5 of the mobile card 1 as shown in FIG. This display is maintained until the service elevator, ie, the third car, arrives at the first floor. Although this display is an elevator reservation service display, for example, when displaying an arrival display to notify when a service elevator has arrived, the mode of one display image is changed, for example, by flashing the display.

In other words, in Figure 4 B, the group management calculation bag is the one that manages the service floor display data signal! ! 34, the machine control device 36a adjusts the signal output from the machine data signals (e.g., elevator position, deceleration information, door information) from ~ until the service elevator door opens to the service floor. This allows the display mode on the display screen to be changed.

The operation of this device will be explained in more detail.

That is, it is assumed that a specific user (VIP) brings the mobile card shown in FIG.

When using an elevator, the user inputs and registers the desired floor from the mobile card 1 into the elevator system by operating the numeric keypad 2 of the mobile card 1. That is, when the numeric keypad 2 is operated, the key force is converted by the switch input circuit 11 into a digital signal corresponding to the key. This digital signal is input to the decoding circuit 12. When the decoding circuit 12 receives a signal from the switch input circuit 11, it generates a destination floor code based on the input order and input contents. For example, [Umbrella J rlJ rO
If J "Kushi" is input, the destination floor is rlO floor J
Understanding this, it is converted to floor data for the 10th floor and output. This is then sent to the modulation circuit 14 with a unique card identification code stored in the main memory circuit 17 in advance. This control is performed by the main processor 19. This modulation circuit 14 modulates the read data and transmits it to the transmitting antenna 1.
Therefore, this modulated signal containing the destination floor code and card identification code stored in the main memory circuit 17 is transmitted from the transmitting antenna 13 as a radio wave.

This radio wave is received by the sensor panel 20 at the nearest landing that constitutes the group control elevator system.

That is, each sensor panel 20 installed near the landing on each floor has a receiving antenna 21, a demodulating circuit 22, a modulating circuit 23, and a transmitting antenna 24. The sensor panel 20 at the boarding station closest to the person carrying the mobile card 1 receives the message in the format shown in FIG. 5 transmitted from the mobile card 1 through the receiving antenna 21. Then, the received signal is converted into a digital signal by the demodulation circuit 22 and sent to the elevator control unit 31 as a destination floor signal and card identification code. - In the elevator control unit 30, via the multiple input circuit 31,
It receives the destination floor signal and card identification code from the sensor panel 20 provided on each floor.

This destination floor signal and card identification code are sent to the floor identification control section 32, where the service floor and its direction are identified from the content of the destination floor signal and the signal originating floor, and a service floor data signal is generated. For example, if the destination floor is the 9th floor and the signal originating floor is the 2nd floor, the elevator must be operated in the upward (UP) direction of the 2nd floor, so the service floor is the 2nd floor. It identifies and generates the up direction. This signal is sent to the group management arithmetic unit 34. Also,
The floor identification control section 32 sends the card identification signal to the display signal conversion control section 33.

The group management arithmetic unit 34 selects the elevator to be serviced based on the service floor data signal, and sends the elevator to the machine control unit l3.
6a, 36b, to 36n, the identification information (for example, elevator number, etc.) of the elevator that serves them is output as service floor display data. In other words, a group management arithmetic unit! 34 is the machine control device j36a.

From 36b and 36n, the car name assignment for each individual elevator is registration information, door opening/closing control, acceleration/deceleration control, full penetration control, car position information, and car load detection information.

The car elevator direction, registered service floor information, etc. are given.

Group management calculation device! 34, upon receiving the service floor data signal, the respective car control devices 36a, 36b, to 36
nReferring to information such as each car's location information, load information, car up/down direction, registered service floor information, etc., as well as information held by the company such as the number of people who can ride in each car for each section, The most suitable car to respond to the above-mentioned service floor data signal is selected and assigned to the single control device of that car, and the identification information of the assigned car is output as service floor display data.

The display signal conversion control section 33 generates a service floor display signal from the service floor data signal, and converts the content of the received card identification code to the floor identification control section 33.
2, an information message is generated and output from these according to the format shown in FIG. This output is outputted by the multiplex output circuit 35 to the sensor panel 20 of the floor from which the destination floor signal is transmitted. The above display signal including the card identification code is used by the group control calculation unit until the service elevator arrives at the service floor! The information is stored in 34 and used to grasp the number of passengers who can board the car for each section of the assigned car, and is output to the display signal conversion control section 33 periodically or irregularly.

In this way, when the display signal and card identification data from the elevator control unit 30 are received in the form of digital signals, the modulation circuit 23 converts them into data as a message in the format shown in FIG. Send externally.

This transmission signal (display code) is captured by the reception antenna 15 in the mobile card 1 near the sensor panel 20 that transmitted it. Then, the demodulation circuit 16 demodulates this received signal and converts it into digital data. Since this digital data includes a heading which is a card identification code, the main processor 19 uses this heading to determine whether the data transmitted from the sensor panel is data transmitted to itself. and,
If it is for itself, the received display code is stored and held in the main memory circuit 17. Then, the main processor 19 controls the reading of the main memory circuit 17 and provides the read data to the control circuit 18, which receives the received data for display stored in the main memory circuit 17 and converts it into an image signal. do. The image signal converted by the control circuit 18 is given to the display 5 and displayed as an image.

In this way, this system commands a specific user (VIP) to specify a destination floor by key operation, transmits this via radio waves along with its own specific code, and also assigns an assignment from the elevator system side based on this transmitted information. When it receives a received signal containing the elevator number information and the above specific code, it checks the specific code and when it matches its own code,
Each of the elevator systems is equipped with a mobile card that has the function of displaying the allocated elevator number information on the display section, and the elevator system has a transmitting/receiving system near each landing that performs wireless communication with the mobile card, and each of these transmitting/receiving systems. In addition to receiving information on the command target floor and specific code from the signals received from the system, the unit controller that controls the elevators of each unit also receives information on the car name assignment and car status information indicating the car status of each unit. The optimum information for the received command target floor is determined by referring to this and the data stored in the built-in holding unit that retains the machine number information assigned to the command target floor together with the specific code information until the service ends. A group management means is provided for selecting a responding machine and assigning it to the single control device of the corresponding machine, and providing information on the assigned machine to the transmitting/receiving system together with the specific code of the mobile card that generated the target floor command. This is what I did.

The user then commands the destination floor by operating the keys on the mobile card in his possession, and this command is transmitted from the mobile card along with his own specific code via radio waves, and this transmitted information is distributed near each landing. This received signal is sent to the group control means, which receives information on the command target floor and specific code contained in this received signal, and also controls the elevators of each unit. The car number assignment for each car received from the single control device that performs the process is based on information, car status information indicating the car status, and car number information assigned to the above-mentioned command target floor. The optimum response machine for the received command target floor is selected by referring to the data held in the holding section that is held together with the information, and is assigned to the single control device of the relevant machine, and the information of this assigned machine is used for the purpose The floor command is given to the transmitting/receiving system along with the specific code of the mobile card that generated it.

Then, this information is transmitted from the receiving system, and the mobile card receives this transmitted information and receives a received signal containing the elevator number information assigned from the elevator system based on the transmitted information and the above-mentioned specific code. When the code matches the own code, the assigned elevator number information is displayed on the display section.

Therefore, a specific user (VIP) can know which elevator he or she should use by looking at the elevator number information displayed on the display of this mobile card.
Eliminates the need to predetermine a specific service elevator for use.

Further, in the present invention, since only VIPs have mobile cards, it is easy to distinguish between VIPs and general customers. For example, if you set up a sensor panel inside the car, you can easily determine whether a VIP has boarded the car or not.
If a general passenger other than P gets on the train, it is possible to prevent the general passenger from boarding the train by, for example, canceling the departure.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As detailed above, according to the present invention, a specific elevator user (VIP) can register a hall call by simply inputting the floor to be used using a mobile card, thereby providing services to that user. The user can select and specify an elevator, and by viewing the elevator number information displayed on the display section of the mobile card, the user can know which elevator to use. In addition, because the group management means specifies service elevators for each user based on floor instructions for each mobile card, VIP hall call buttons and V
VIP operation is possible without installing an IP service unit. Furthermore, since the VIP service number can be selected from among a plurality of machines, it is possible to improve the service for VIPs.
