Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an elevator operation control method and an operation control apparatus for implementing the method, and more particularly to an elevator operation control method and operation control apparatus for changing operation of a car according to a use situation. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Operation control in a so-called group control elevator in which a plurality of elevators service a multi-story floor is to select and determine an elevator corresponding to a generated hall call, and a microcomputer is used. Since then, a hall call allocation method has been used in which an evaluation value such as a waiting time for servicing a hall call generated for each elevator is calculated, and the elevator to be serviced is determined by this evaluation value.

Further, as seen in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-177267, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55-140468, which allocates an elevator having a larger number of passengers in a congested floor.
As in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. JP-A-2003-242, there is a call for a specific floor in which priority is set so that a specific elevator is preferentially assigned. Furthermore, if you have a wheelchair button,
When there is a wheelchair button call, operation control is performed by allocating an elevator dedicated to wheelchairs, and an elevator to which a VIP call is allocated is separated from the group for group management and dedicated operation is performed.

On the other hand, in order to meet various demands of users, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2-127376 discloses a technique for selecting a "free elevator" or an "early elevator" at a landing.

[0005]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
Japanese Patent No. 0468, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-177267, response to wheelchair call, etc. serve a specific elevator for a specific hall call, and do not deal with various requests of general users. The response to the VIP call is also a service for the specific hall call by separating the elevator from the operation control of the group management, and does not meet various requests.

Further, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2-127376, even if an elevator in a state designated by a passenger is selected and assigned at a landing, no change in the situation after servicing the hall call is taken into consideration. It is not guaranteed that the user who made the call will reach the destination floor as he or she requested.

[0007] Further, when going up to the roof from the first floor in a high-rise building or the like, a strong person prefers a straight elevator, but a weak person sometimes feels uncomfortable due to a change in atmospheric pressure due to a rapid change in altitude. , It may be preferable to slow down and rise slowly, or to stop some times in the middle to take time to adapt to changes in atmospheric pressure. There is also a demand that only a user from a specific floor or a user at a specific landing call should be provided with a specific service or specific guidance. If the elevator is exclusively operated to satisfy such various requirements, it becomes impossible to efficiently operate the elevator group management, and there is a problem that the waiting time is extremely deteriorated or the transportation capacity is insufficient. Occurs.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances of the prior art. A first object of the present invention is to give an attribute to a passenger who gets in a vehicle, and perform operation control such as call assignment based on the attribute. An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator operation control method capable of efficiently performing operation control.

A second object of the present invention is to provide an operation control device for an elevator that realizes the operation control method and can perform efficient operation control.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, a first means is to recognize a user to whom an attribute is given in an elevator operation control method for controlling the operation of a plurality of elevators. When a user makes a hall call, the attributes of the user are compared with the attributes of the car assigned to the hall call, and the car that does not affect the attributes of the car is selected and the car It is characterized in that the selected car is determined as a service number and the operation of the determined service number is controlled based on the attribute of the user.

[0011] In this case, the car that does not impair the user's property also includes a car having an attribute that is released when the car arrives at the calling floor in response to a hall call. The user to whom the attribute is given is recognized from at least one of a preset call signal from a floor, a specific landing call button, and a specific car call button, or a wireless transmitter, It is recognized from at least one of the outputs of the infrared transmitter, the voice recognition means and the image recognition means. The attributes include boarding time, degree of congestion in the car, number of stops, operation for the weak, observation operation, and company-only operation. Further, when controlling the operation, control of the display contents and display timing of the display in the car and the display at the landing is included.

The second means is an elevator operation control device for controlling the operation of a plurality of elevators, information collecting means for inputting information of hall calls and car calls, and users and attributes to which attributes are assigned. Passenger identification means for identifying a user who is not assigned, attribute content registration means for registering the content of the attribute of the user in advance and storing the registered content, the information collection means, the passenger identification means and the attribute content A passenger attribute registration means for adding an attribute to a passenger of a car based on information input from the registration means, and registering the attribute of the passenger, information about a user registered in the passenger attribute registration means, and It is characterized in that it is provided with an allocation control means for allocating a service number from the hall call information and the car call information collected by the information collecting means.

In this case, the passenger attribute storage means for storing the information registered by the passenger attribute registration means is further provided, the situation estimation means for estimating the situation of the elevator at the future position is further provided, and the allocation control means is provided. The service number may be assigned in consideration of the future situation estimated by the situation estimating means.

Further, the attribute registration means includes a floor-specific attribute registration means for registering an attribute for each floor, and the floor-specific attribute registration means can change the registered content by a separately provided attribute registration means. It is desirable to configure the above. At this time, the registration content that can be changed by the attribute registration means is, for example, that the attribute added to the hall call generation floor is the attribute of the passenger getting in from that floor.

Further, each floor is based on the second means based on the hall call and car call information from the information collecting means, the passenger attribute information from the passenger attribute registering means, and the service number allocation information from the allocation control means. It is advisable to provide guide display control means for setting the display contents of the display means provided at the landing and each car. In this case, the guide display control means,
It is advisable to set the display timing in addition to the display content. Further, it is possible to provide a user attribute identifying means including at least one of a wireless transmitter, an infrared transmitter, a voice recognition device, and an image recognition device. The attributes include boarding time, congestion degree in the car, number of stops, operation for the weak, observation operation, and company-only operation.

The second means is, for example, whether or not the attributes should be registered based on the information from the attribute table in which a plurality of attributes are recorded in advance in the elevator group management control device and the information from the passenger identifying means. In addition, when it is necessary to register, it is determined what kind of attribute the passenger should have, and when the passenger gets in, a means for registering the passenger by including the attribute in the passenger table of the car, This can be realized by providing an in-car passenger table that manages passengers in the car based on the information of this means, and performing allocation control by taking into account the information in the in-car passenger table.

[0017]

With the above-mentioned structure, an efficient operation control can be realized by giving the elevator an attribute that is effective during the period when passengers are in the elevator and using this to control the allocation.

That is, if a passenger who wants to get on a lifted elevator gets on board, the attribute of the elevator that the passenger who wants to get on the lifted elevator is on service elevator until the passenger reaches the destination floor and the service ends. Will have the control of limiting the allocation so that the number of passengers in the elevator does not exceed a certain value,
When used by a weak person in a high-rise building, the elevator is controlled to slow down or stop at an intermediate floor as an elevator for the weak person until it reaches the target floor, for example, the end floor, and the elevator is fully used. After the service of the person is completed, for example, after the end-of-story service, the passenger gets off, so the attribute of the elevator on which the passenger having such an attribute is released is canceled and the normal allocation is performed.

In addition, the efficiency of the entire elevator group can be secured while complying with the user's request by responding to the normal assignment of the elevators on which the passengers having the attribute are on board within the range not impaired by the attribute. To do.

The passenger identifying unit 310 is a passenger identifying device 15
Collect identification information. The passenger attribute registration unit 311 adds attributes to passengers by referring to the information of the hall call information collection unit 31, the car call information collection unit 32, and the passenger identification unit 310,
The passengers are registered in the in-car passenger table 312 including the attributes. The allocation control unit 36 determines an elevator for the hall call generated based on the attributes of the passengers in the passenger table 312 in the car and the information collected by the hall call information collection unit 31 and the car call information collection unit 32, and the result is determined. It is sent to the machine control devices 61 to 64 through the control device transmission line 7.
The machine control devices 61 to 64 drive the motors 81, 82, 83, 84 based on the allocation result, and the winding machine 91,
By driving and controlling 92, 93, 94, the elevators 111, 112, 113, 114 are moved to service a hall call. Also, each elevator 1
Counterweights 121, 122, 123, and 124 are provided at one ends of the driving ropes 11 to 114. In the figure, the display devices 131 and 132 are provided in the respective holes.

In this way, each user has an attribute,
By registering passengers for each car until the service is completed, including attributes in the car passenger table 312 for each car,
It is possible to control the operation of the elevator in a state desired by the user, and to minimize the decrease in the operating efficiency of the entire system.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the outline of the operation of the elevator control apparatus according to the first embodiment.

In the elevator control apparatus according to this embodiment, first, the hall call button 1 on the floor, which is scheduled in advance, is first prepared.
01-10n or specific car call buttons 41-44,
When it is detected that a predetermined user has occurred by the passenger identifying unit 310 or the like sent from the passenger identifying device 15 including a wireless transmitter, an infrared transmitter, voice recognition, image recognition, etc. (step 201), the passenger attribute registration unit. 311 retrieves the corresponding attribute from the attribute content table 34 (step 20).
2). Next, the passengers are registered in the passenger table 312 in the car including the attributes (step 203). Next, when a hall call is generated, the allocation control unit 36 checks whether or not the passenger in the passenger table 312 in the car has an attribute when determining the elevator to be serviced for the hall call (step 204), and the car Inside passenger table 312
If the passenger has an attribute, even if the generated hall call is assigned to an elevator having the same attribute, it is determined whether or not the attribute is satisfied (step 205). If the attribute is not satisfied when it is assigned to an elevator that already has the same attribute, the elevator is excluded from the assignment target and a service elevator is determined (step 206). Otherwise, service elevators from all the elevators are determined. To decide. At the time of this allocation, weighting is applied to the elevator having the attribute so that the evaluation value is easily selected (see FIG. 13 described later).
You can also make it easier to assign elevators with the same attributes. When the elevator arrives at the end floor or a passenger having an attribute gets off (step 208), the passenger table 312 in the car is cleared to release the attribute of the passenger and the passenger (step 209).

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing the operation of each elevator according to the first embodiment.

In FIG. 3, it is assumed that the 7th and 8th floors are instructed to give priority to the boarding time and the service is performed, and the car B is stopped at the 6th floor. This is indicated by a circle in FIG. 3 (the same applies hereinafter). Under such conditions, when a hall call is generated on the 7th floor (shown by ∇) as shown in FIG. 3A, the allocation control unit 36 determines the elevator to service the hall call, and then sets the elevator. The attribute "ride time priority service" is added to the attribute of the passenger registered in the in-car passenger table 312 for each elevator.
Here, it is assumed that the elevator with the minimum waiting time is assigned, and the car A becomes the service elevator. The attribute of "ride time priority service" is, for example, that the arrival time of a car call that occurs after arriving at the assigned hall call is less than or equal to a predetermined value. The condition is that the arrival time is 20 seconds or less.
In addition, the calculation standard of time is 1 second floor for 2 seconds and 1 stop 10 seconds.

In determining the service elevator for the next hall call on the fifth floor in FIG. 3 (b), first, the attributes of the passengers registered in the in-car passenger table 312 are checked, and the passengers of the A-unit. Attribute "ride time priority service"
Check whether the arrival time from the 7th floor to the 3rd floor, which is the condition of, is satisfied for 20 seconds. In this case, even if you stop for 10 seconds on the 5th floor, this condition will be met, so 5 out of all elevators
The elevator with the shortest time to reach the floor is selected.
In the case of FIG. 3B, the number A machine will be selected.

Next, assume that a hall call is generated on the fourth floor as shown in FIG. 3 (c). In this case as well, car A arrives earliest, but if a hall call is assigned to car A, it is a condition of the passenger attribute of car A, "ride time priority service".
No more than a second or less of the elevators will be satisfied, and car A will be removed from the allocation and service elevators will be selected and allocated from the remaining cars. In the case of FIG.3 (c), the elevator of B was determined as a service elevator. FIG.
As shown in (d), Unit A arrived on the 3rd floor and had an attribute 7
When passengers from the floor get off, passenger table 312 in the car
The registration of passengers with the attribute of is cleared, and then normal call allocation is performed.

In the above example, the user from the 7th floor immediately pushed the car call button on the 3rd floor, or the destination of the user by a radio transmitter, an infrared transmitter, voice recognition, image recognition, etc. (see FIG. 17 described later). However, if there is no personal identification device such as a wireless transmitter and the user boarded, but did not press the car call button, the registration is already completed. The attribute is maintained up to the farthest floor or the end floor of the car call being performed, and then the passenger table 312 in the car is cleared. Further, a destination button may be installed at the landing, or the destination may be instructed using a wireless transmitter or an infrared transmitter.

As described above, the attributes to be added to the passengers in the in-car passenger table of each elevator include "direct operation" and "one-company exclusive operation in the tenant building". According to the present embodiment, by setting the attributes in this manner, various different operations can be performed without providing a dedicated elevator.

[Second Embodiment] FIG. 4 is an overall configuration diagram of an elevator controller according to a second embodiment in which calls after attribute cancellation are normally assigned. In addition, in each of the following embodiments, the same reference numerals are given to the respective equivalent portions, and the overlapping description will be appropriately omitted.

The feature of this second embodiment is that the group management control device 3 of the first embodiment is provided with a situation estimation unit 37. The configuration of each of the other parts is the same as that of the first embodiment described above. This newly added situation estimation unit 3
7 estimates the situation of the elevator at the future position based on the information of the hall call collection unit 31, the car information collection unit 32, the passenger identification unit 310, and the allocation control unit 36 and the allocation result. When a hall call occurs, the situation estimating unit 37 determines that the elevator having the attribute in the hall call serves, and if the passenger having the attribute in the elevator is getting off, the assignment control unit 36 determines The service elevator including the elevator is determined.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the operation in the case where the call after the passenger having the attribute in this second embodiment gets off the vehicle is normally assigned.

In the elevator control apparatus according to this embodiment, steps up to step 205 follow the same procedure as in the first embodiment described above, and in step 205 a call is assigned to an elevator having passengers who have attributes and attribute conditions are set. It is checked whether or not it is satisfied, and if not satisfied, the situation estimation unit 37 estimates the situation at the time of arriving at the calling hall of the generating hall (step 501). Then, in step 502, step 501
Based on the estimation results estimated in Section 1, check whether the attribute has been canceled at the time of arriving at the call hall of the generating hall, and whether there is a passenger with the attribute. An assigned elevator is selected from the elevators and assigned (step 207). If the passenger having the attribute is still in the boarding, the car in which the passenger having the attribute is riding is excluded and allocation is performed (step 20).
6). The subsequent procedure is similar to that of the first embodiment.

[Third Embodiment] FIG. 6 is an overall configuration diagram of an elevator control apparatus according to a third embodiment for performing different control for each floor.

The feature of this embodiment is that an attribute table 38 for each floor is provided in the attribute content table 34 of the group management control device 3 in the first embodiment, and the attribute content table 3
4 is connected to the attribute registration device 14. The configuration of each of the other parts is the same as that of the first embodiment described above.
In the elevator control device configured as described above, the attribute for each floor is registered in the attribute table 38 for each floor of the attribute content table 34, and when a hall call occurs, the attribute registration device 14 The attribute added to the hall call generation floor is set as the attribute of the passenger getting in from that floor, and the passenger having the attribute is registered in the passenger table 312 in the car. The attributes for each floor may be registered in advance in the attribute content table 34, but the registration may be changed by the attribute registration device 14. In addition, this attribute registration device 14
According to the above, not only the attribute registration for each floor but also other attributes may be registered or changed.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the operation when different controls are performed for each floor in the third embodiment. This figure relates to services to passengers in the elevator,
An example of the contents will be described below.

FIG. 7A shows a case where a specific guidance display is displayed to a user from a specific floor. When the specific display service floor is the third floor, the display dedicated to the user of the floor is displayed on the machine A that has served that floor as shown in the figure. By doing so, it is possible to display each floor according to the user.

FIG. 7 (b) shows that when a plurality of companies live in a tenant building or the like, in order to prevent employees of different companies from riding together, the hall call on the floor where the different companies are located May want to avoid assigning the same elevator. In this example,
The 8th, 7th and 4th floors are the floors occupied by Company A. In the case of this example, when Unit A stops on the 7th floor in response to the hall call on the 7th floor, Unit A becomes the elevator for company A, and the hall call on the 5th floor occupied by company B is A No. machine is not allocated, but in this case, it is allocated to machine B.
In this way, the users of other companies will not be on board, so the people of each company can use the elevators as if they were their own elevators.

FIG. 7C shows an example in which the above-mentioned boarding time is preferentially controlled and an elevator that arrives at the destination floor within a predetermined time is assigned. The 8th and 7th floors are boarding time priority service floors, and a user who generates a hall call on this floor is controlled so that the user can reach the destination floor in 20 seconds or less. In the case of the figure, the destination floor is the 3rd floor, and the 7th and 5th floor
It is assumed that the hall call on the floor is assigned to Unit A. When the hall call on the 7th floor is assigned to Unit A, the arrival time to the 3rd floor is 16 seconds. If the next hall call on the 4th floor is assigned to Unit A, the arrival time to the 3rd floor is If the stop time on the first floor takes 10 seconds, it will be 26 seconds, which exceeds the standard 20 seconds. Therefore, hall calls on the 4th floor are assigned to elevators other than Unit A. By controlling in this way, the arrival time can be kept within a certain time. In this case, it takes 2 seconds to pass through the first floor and 10 seconds to stop once.

FIG. 7 (d) shows an example of controlling the degree of congestion in the car to a predetermined value or less. It is assumed that the 8th and 7th floors are set as the priority level of the congestion degree in the car. Unit A is now assigned to the hall calls generated on the 7th floor, and the number of people in the elevator exceeded the limit when the 7th floor was serviced.
It is assigned excluding units. In the case of this figure, the hall call generated on the 5th floor is assigned to Unit B.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the passenger table 312 in the car in the first to third embodiments. You can register information about passengers for each car up to the capacity,
For each passenger, the attributes, the service start floor of the attribute, the end floor, and the conditions thereof are described.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the attribute content table 34 in the first to third embodiments. A specific event, such as hall call generation on a specific floor, special call registration, weight sensor, car sensor, wireless transmitter, infrared transmitter, voice recognition device, image recognition device, etc., is added to the elevator for each specified output. Attribute, its attribute condition, and release condition are described. Further, it is also possible to add an execution condition such that the control is performed only at a specific time, or that the control is not performed during a crowded time period.

[Fourth Embodiment] FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation of a fourth embodiment in which a transit is smoothly performed between the shuttle elevator and the local elevator.

In order to make the transit between the shuttle elevator 1001 and the local elevator 1002 smooth, a method of waiting one of the two until the other arrives has been conventionally proposed. In this method, the efficiency of the waiting side is increased. Will decrease. Therefore, when the arrival time of the shuttle elevator 1001 to the transit floor 1003 is confirmed, a passenger having an attribute that specifies the range of the arrival time to the local elevator 1002 is registered in the passenger table 312 in the car, and the specified landing time is set. The call is assigned to the local elevator 1002 arriving within the range of, and the control is performed according to the attribute so as not to exceed the range. In this figure, shuttle elevator A 1001
Local elevator C as the transit elevator for A
When the No. 1002C is designated, the No. C has a designated arrival time range and is controlled to fall within this range.
According to the present embodiment, there is an effect that the transit can be smoothly performed while suppressing the efficiency decrease of the local elevator 1002.

[Fifth Embodiment] FIG. 11 is an explanatory view showing the operation of the fifth embodiment using the weak button.

The role of the elevator facility is to promptly transport passengers to the destination floor, and it is generally desired that the passenger arrives at the destination floor without stopping. On the other hand, in a high-rise building, if you go straight to the destination floor, you may experience discomfort due to changes in atmospheric pressure due to a sudden rise, and it may be better for the weak to arrive at the destination floor while stopping in places. In such a case, prepare a button for the vulnerable people at the landing or in the car,
When this button is pressed, the user can adapt to changes in atmospheric pressure by slowing down to increase speed, stopping as much as possible to call halls on the middle floor, and making the downward deceleration pattern stepwise. To

FIG. 11A shows an example in which a button 1101 for the weak is provided as a "slow button" in addition to the call button 10n for normal driving in addition to the normal landing call button. FIG. 11B is an example in which a button 1101 for the weak is graphically displayed. FIG. 11C shows an elevator operation diagram in a normal case, where the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents the number of floors. FIG. 11D is an example in which the deceleration operation is performed when the weak button 1101 is pressed. In normal operation, the vehicle arrives at the 80th floor in about 40 seconds, but when the weak button 1101 is pressed, deceleration operation is performed, and it takes about 80 seconds until the 80th floor arrives. FIG. 11E is an example of midway stop floor control. In this example, the vehicle is stopped on the intermediate floor four times and the operation is performed to reach the 80th floor in 85 seconds. Although the change in atmospheric pressure has been described in the above description, some sick people are worried about the change in acceleration / deceleration, so an attribute of lowering the acceleration / deceleration may be given. According to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the discomfort caused by a change in atmospheric pressure and acceleration / deceleration of a weak person while ensuring the convenience of a healthy person.

[Sixth Embodiment] FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation of a sixth embodiment of the operation of the view elevator for the view.

Since a normal user and a user who wants to enjoy the view also get on the elevator for viewing, a view button 1201 is prepared for a user who wants to enjoy the view in addition to the call button 10n for normal driving. , Outlook button 1201
When is pressed, the speed of the elevator is slowed down so that the view can be enjoyed.

FIG. 12A shows an example in which a hall call button 1201 for outlook driving and a normal hall call button 10n are provided side by side. FIG. 12B shows a button 120 for viewing.
1 is an example in which 1 is designed. FIG. 12C is an operation diagram showing the difference between the elevator for observation and the one for normal operation. As shown in the figure, the call for the view elevator is controlled by deceleration so that the view can be enjoyed slowly.

FIG. 12D shows an example in which a part of a tenant is used as an office building and an elevator for observation is installed on the upper floor. In this example, up to the 6th floor is set as an office building. In this case, even if the call call button for outlook is pressed, normal operation is performed until the car call service on the office floor ends, and control is performed so that the operation for outlook is performed after passing through the office floor. By doing so, prospective driving can be performed without impairing the convenience of users on the office floor. In this case, there are two types of attributes of passengers in the car: passengers having an attribute of observation driving and passengers normally driving to the sixth floor. FIG. 12 (e) shows
It is what showed the operation diagram of FIG.12 (c). As shown in the figure, for the observation hall call, normal users quickly drive to the target floor up to the 6th floor with normal operation, and after reaching the 6th floor, slow down to perform the observation operation and save time. I am trying to enjoy the view. According to this embodiment, both the office user who wants to arrive as soon as possible and the user who wants to enjoy the view can be satisfied.

Although an example of the passenger table in the car is shown in FIG. 8, it is also possible to control the attribute by having a score. In that case, an in-car passenger table 312 as shown in FIG. 13 is used. Even in the embodiments described so far, one elevator can have a plurality of attributes if the users' floors to which attributes are added are different, and some attributes may be the same floor. Although it is possible to have multiple attributes, there are cases where it is desired to give a compounded condition as an attribute, such as "reduce the number of stop floors or make it empty." In such a case, a score is provided for the attribute of the passenger table 312 in the car, and the score in the car attribute table of the elevator is added or subtracted each time it is assigned to a car having an attribute, and the score is equal to or more than a predetermined value or a predetermined value. If it is less than the value, it will be excluded from the allocation. According to this embodiment, composite attributes can be handled.
