Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator group management control device.

  As a group management control device for elevators, when a hall call is registered by a remotely installed hall call registration device, an optimal allocation car is determined based on the travel time of the user and the estimated arrival time of each unit. The thing is proposed (for example, refer patent document 1 and 2).

  However, in the group management control device, the travel time of the user used for the evaluation value calculation when determining the optimum assigned car is set or calculated in advance. For this reason, a user whose movement speed is slow gets behind the car. In general, the travel time is set a little later. Until the travel time elapses, the dispatched car waits for the door to open. For this reason, a user whose movement speed is fast or a user who is in a hurry waits at the landing until the elevator arrives or waits for a while in the car.

  In contrast, when a call is registered by the landing destination call registration device together with remotely installed personal information, the control device that waits for the opened car to open until the personal information is input from the device installed at the landing Has been proposed. According to the control device, the car can be started after the user actually arrives at the landing (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining call registration processing by the elevator group management control apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In step S1, the call detection unit 6a determines whether call registration request information transmitted from the hall call registration device 1 is detected by a predetermined operation. If call registration request information is not detected, step S1 is repeated. If call registration request information is detected, the process proceeds to step S2. In step S <b> 2, the travel time detection unit 6 b determines whether or not the travel time input transmitted from the travel time input device 4 has been detected.

  If an input of travel time is detected within the predetermined time in step S2, the process proceeds to step S3. In step S3, the assigned number machine determination unit 6d acquires the input travel time. When the input of the travel time is not detected within the predetermined time in step S2, the process proceeds to step S4. In step S4, the assigned number machine determination unit 6d acquires the travel time stored in advance in the travel time storage unit 6c via the travel time detection unit 6b.

  After step S3 or step S4, the process proceeds to step S5. In step S5, the assigned machine determining unit 6d transmits the acquired call registration request information and travel time to the assigned evaluation value calculating unit 6e. The allocation evaluation value calculation unit 6e determines an optimal allocation car to respond to the call registration request based on the call registration request information, travel time, estimated arrival time of each unit, and the like. Thereafter, the allocation evaluation value calculation unit 6e transmits information corresponding to the allocation car to the allocation number determining unit 6d.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S6, and the assigned number machine determination unit 6d transmits information corresponding to the assigned car to the assigned number machine display device 2. Based on the information, the assigned number machine display device 2 displays a symbol corresponding to the assigned car.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S7, where the assigned number machine determination unit 6d transmits information corresponding to the assigned car to the call registration unit 6f. Based on the information, the call registration unit 6f transmits a vehicle allocation command to each of the vehicle control devices 3 corresponding to the assigned car. Further, the assigned number machine determination unit 6d transmits the estimated arrival time of the user calculated from the acquired travel time to the door opening time control unit 6g.

  Then, it progresses to step S8 and the said allocation car arrives at the said landing. Then, it progresses to step S9 and the door opening time control part 6g determines whether the user's estimated arrival time has passed.

  If it is determined in step S9 that the estimated arrival time of the user has not passed, the process proceeds to step S10. In step S <b> 10, the door opening time control unit 6 g transmits a door opening standby command to each of the vehicle control devices 3.

  If it is determined in step S9 that the estimated arrival time of the user has passed, the process proceeds to step S11. In step S <b> 11, the door opening time control unit 6 g transmits a door closing command to each of the vehicle control devices 3. Based on the command, each vehicle control device 3 starts the assigned car after closing the assigned car.

Next, an example of call registration processing by the group management control device 6 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart for illustrating call registration processing by the elevator group management control apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

  In step S21, the call detection unit 6a determines whether or not the call registration request information transmitted from the hall call registration device 1 has been detected. If call registration request information is not detected, step S21 is repeated. If call registration request information is detected, the process proceeds to step S22.

  In step S <b> 22, the movement time detection unit 6 b determines whether or not the input of the slow speed information transmitted from the slow speed information input device 5 has been detected.

  If the input of the slow speed information is not detected within the predetermined time in step S22, the process proceeds to step S23. In step S23, the assigned number machine determination unit 6d acquires a normal travel time from the travel time stored in the travel time storage unit 6c via the travel time detection unit 6b.

  If the speed information is detected as the speed information within the predetermined time in step S22, the process proceeds to step S24. In step S24, the assigned number machine determination unit 6d acquires a travel time for a user with a fast travel speed from the travel times stored in the travel time storage unit 6c via the travel time detection unit 6b.

  If late information is detected as slow information within a predetermined time in step S22, the process proceeds to step S25. In step S25, the assigned number machine determination unit 6d acquires a travel time for a user having a slow travel speed from the travel time storage unit 6c via the travel time detection unit 6b.

  After step S23, step S24, and step S25, the process proceeds to step S26. In steps S26 to S32, the same processes as those in steps S5 to S11 in FIG. 5 are performed.

  According to the first embodiment described above, the assigned car is determined based on the travel time input by the user. That is, it is possible to determine an assigned car suitable for the moving speed (walking speed) of the user. As a result, it is possible to prevent a user with a low moving speed from getting behind the car, and to shorten the waiting time of a user with a high moving speed or a user in a hurry.

  If the travel time is not detected, the assigned car is determined based on a preset time. For this reason, even if the user forgets to input the travel time, the assigned car can be determined.

  Further, the assigned car is determined by pressing the button of the slow speed information input device 5. For this reason, it is possible to determine the allocation car suitable for the moving speed of the user with a simple operation.

  Note that the travel time for a user with a slow travel speed and the travel time for a user with a fast travel speed are based on the normal travel time stored in the travel time storage unit 6c and the slow speed information from the slow speed information input device 5. Thus, the movement time detection unit 6b may perform the calculation.

  Alternatively, the hall call registration device 1, the travel time input device 4, and the slow speed information input device 5 may be installed in the vicinity of the hall. In this case, by assigning a waiting time to the travel time input device 4 at the landing, it is possible to determine an assigned car suitable for a user who cannot get on the car immediately.

  As described above, the elevator group management control device according to the present invention prevents a user with a slow moving speed from getting behind the car, and shortens the waiting time for a user with a fast moving speed or a rushed user. Available for elevators.
