Detailed Description

(embodiment mode 1)

Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of an elevator system according to embodiment 1. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a floor level 1 of the building according to embodiment 1. As shown in fig. 1, an elevator system 1 of the present embodiment includes a destination registration device 11 and a control device 50, and performs group management on 3 elevator groups 3A, 3B, and 3C to perform efficient operation service.

The elevator groups 3A, 3B, and 3C are elevator groups installed in 3 zones (zone a, zone B, and zone C) at elevator boarding locations shown in fig. 2 in a building. Here, as shown in fig. 2, each of the elevator groups 3A, 3B, and 3C includes 8 elevators 4 from the a-th machine to the H-th machine, and the plurality of car cars 5 are raised and lowered on the lifting path to perform the service. In this case, the elevator groups 3A, 3B, and 3C are collectively referred to as an elevator group 3. In addition, in fig. 1, only the elevator groups 3 of the a-zone and the B-zone are shown, and only 4 elevators from the machine No. a to the machine No. D are shown.

In the following description, the elevator group 3 is described as an elevator group including 8 elevators 4 from the a-machine to the H-machine, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and each elevator group 3 may include 2 to 7 elevators or 9 or more elevators. The elevator group 3 is described as a 3-elevator group, and may be configured as 1, 2, or 4 or more elevator groups 3. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the 8 elevators 4 from the machine a to the machine H will be described as the elevators 4 only.

The control device 50 assigns the elevator 4 to the user and moves the assigned car of the elevator to the boarding location on the floor where the user waits. The details of the control device 50 are explained below.

The destination registration device 11 is a device for registering a destination or the like in a building by a user of an elevator such as a visitor who has arrived at the building. That is, the destination registration device 11 outputs a call registration signal to the control device 50 in accordance with the user input, and performs so-called boarding gate call registration.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the external appearance of the destination registration device 11 and the security gate 220 according to the embodiment. Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the destination registration device 11 according to the embodiment.

As shown in fig. 3, the destination registration device 11 of the present embodiment is incorporated into a security gate 220 and is configured integrally therewith. The security gate 220 of the present embodiment is a so-called shutter gate, and is installed at, for example, an entrance of a building to which the elevator system 1 is applied.

As shown in fig. 4, the destination registration device 11 mainly includes: a reading unit 221, a display unit 216, an analysis unit 101, a display control unit 102, and a communication unit 103. The destination registration device 11 is connected to the communication unit 54 in the control device 50.

The reading unit 221 reads the two-dimensional code described on the arrival guide 19 for the building held by the visitor. As shown in fig. 3, the reading unit 221 is configured to be exposed from the security gate 220. The presence guide 19 is a paper that is issued in advance to a visitor by a clerk or the like of a company in the building that is the destination. As shown in fig. 3, when the user passes through the security gate 220, the user causes the reading unit 221 to read the two-dimensional code described on the presence guide 19.

Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the arrival guide 19 according to the present embodiment. As shown in fig. 5, the arrival guide 19 is described with a destination (a company name in the example of fig. 5) and a layer where the destination is located, and a two-dimensional code 401.

The two-dimensional code 401 is, for example, a QR code (registered trademark), a barcode, or the like. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of data registered in the two-dimensional code of the present embodiment. In this embodiment, the two-dimensional code 401 encodes and registers destination information, a guest ID, and an issuer address. The destination information is information on the destination of the visitor (user), and a destination ID or the like as identification information for determining the destination corresponds thereto. The issuer address is the email address of the issuer who issued the directions 19 to the visitor. The guest ID is identification information of a visitor assigned to the visitor when the issuer issues to the venue guide 19.

Returning to fig. 4, the analyzing unit 101 analyzes the two-dimensional code read by the reading unit 221 to obtain destination information, a issuer address, and a guest ID. The reading unit 221 and the analysis unit 101 are examples of input units that receive input of destination information and the like from visitors who are users of the elevator.

The communication unit 103 transmits 3 pieces of information analyzed by the analysis unit 101, that is, destination information, a issuer address, and a guest ID, to the control device 50 as a call registration signal via the network. As described later, the control device 50 assigns (allocates) the most appropriate elevator 4 to the user based on the destination information included in the received call registration signal, and transmits the information of the elevator number, which is the identification information of the assigned elevator 4, to the destination registration device 11 as allocation information. The communication unit 103 receives information (scheduling information) of the elevator 4 assigned to the user by the control device 50. The communication unit 103 is an example of the 1 st communication unit.

As shown in fig. 3, the display portion 216 is exposed from the safety door 220. The display unit 216 can display various information such as characters and graphics as images. The display control unit 102 controls display on the display unit 216. In the present embodiment, the display control unit 102 executes the following control: the information of the number assigned to the user's elevator 4 (the scheduling information received by the communication unit 103) is displayed on the display unit 216. Thereby, the display unit 216 displays information of the elevator 4 assigned to the user. The display unit 216 displays, for example, "a zone B machine". Thus, when the user passes through the security gate 220, the user can know the most appropriate elevator 4 to be directed to the destination by the display of the display unit 216, and can move to the indicated elevator 4 without hesitation. That is, the user is urged to move to the front of the door corresponding to the car shown in the display portion 216 and wait there, so that the user can smoothly board the corresponding car 5.

Next, the control device 50 will be described in detail. As shown in fig. 1, the control device 50 includes: a communication unit 54, a control unit 51, a plurality of group management control devices 2, a plurality of individual control devices 9, and position data 53. The position data 53 is stored in a storage medium such as an HDD, an SSD, or a memory.

Each elevator 4 includes a car 5, a counterweight 6, a main rope 7, a hoisting machine 8, a single controller 9, and the like. Each elevator 4 is a so-called bucket elevator in which a car 5 capable of ascending and descending in an ascending and descending path provided in a building and a counterweight 6 serving as a counterweight are connected by a main rope 7. The main rope 7 is suspended from a main sheave 8a and/or a deflector sheave (not shown) of a hoisting machine 8 provided in the upper part of the elevator shaft, and has one end connected to the car 5 and the other end connected to the counterweight 6. The hoisting machine 8 includes, for example, an electric motor (motor) 8b that generates power. The main pulley 8a coupled to the motor 8b is rotationally driven by the driving of the motor 8 b. The hoisting machine 8 electrically tows the main rope 7 by using a frictional force generated between the main sheave 8a and the main rope 7. Each elevator 4 can be moved to an arbitrary landing position on a destination floor by controlling the driving of each part in a unified manner by the individual control device 9 to move the car 5 up and down in the elevator shaft.

The cell control device 9 includes a microcomputer and a drive circuit. The microcomputer includes a CPU (central processing unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), mapping data prepared in advance, a backup RAM, and an input/output port device. The CPUs are mutually connected by a common type of bidirectional common bus. The ROM stores a predetermined control program and the like in advance. The RAM temporarily stores the operation result of the CPU. The backup RAM stores information such as specifications of the elevator 4. The individual control device 9 is electrically connected to each part of the elevator 4 such as various sensors, detectors, and/or the hoisting machine 8, and collectively controls the operation of each part of the elevator 4.

Here, the elevator system 1 of the present embodiment is, for example, a boarding destination floor registration system as follows: the user registers the destination by the destination registration device 11 as a registration device disposed at the safety door 220 outside the car 5, and accordingly performs group management of the elevator group 3 to improve the operation efficiency. This Destination floor registration System at a boarding location is a System called DCS (Destination Control System).

Each of the plurality of group management control devices 2 is provided corresponding to each of the plurality of elevator groups 3. Each group of the management control device 2 includes a microcomputer and a drive circuit. The microcomputer has: CPU, ROM, RAM, mapping data prepared in advance, backup RAM and input/output port device. The CPUs are interconnected by a common form of bidirectional common bus. The ROM stores a predetermined control program and the like in advance. The RAM temporarily stores the operation result of the CPU. The backup RAM stores information such as specifications of the elevator 4. The group management control device 2 and the individual control devices 9 of the plurality of elevators 4 mutually transmit and receive detection signals and/or drive signals, communication signals of information such as control commands, and the like, and perform group management on the elevator group 3.

As described above, in the case where the reading operation of the two-dimensional code is performed by the user via the destination registration apparatus 11, the call registration signal is transmitted from the destination registration apparatus 11. The communication unit 54 receives a call registration signal from the destination registration device 11. As described later, the communication unit 54 transmits the elevator number, which is the identification information of the elevator 4 assigned to the user, specified by the control unit 51 and the group management control device 2, to the destination registration device 11 as the scheduling information. The communication unit 54 is an example of the 2 nd communication unit.

The control unit 51 assigns the elevator 4 to the user so that the route from the security gate 220 to the destination is optimal. Specifically, the control unit 51 refers to the position data 53, and determines the elevator group 3 most suitable for the user in cooperation with the group management control device 2 based on the destination information included in the call registration signal. In the present embodiment, the control unit 51 assigns the elevator 4, which is the shortest distance from the lower elevator position on the floor of the destination to the position of the destination, to the user.

The position data 53 is a table in which position information of tenants or the like serving as destinations is associated with the nearby elevators 4 for each destination. Fig. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the position data 53 according to the embodiment. As shown in fig. 7, the location data 53 associates a destination ID, location information, and nearby elevators.

The destination ID is identification information of a tenant or the like that becomes a destination. The location information is information indicating the location of a tenant or the like that becomes a destination. In the present embodiment, the position information is configured by a combination of a layer and a position as a "layer-position". Here, the position indicates a coordinate position predetermined for each layer in the mapping data. In the example of fig. 7, the location information "2-01" indicates that the tenant of the destination ID "a 0001" is located at the place of location 01 of level 2.

The nearby elevator means the elevator car of an elevator at a lower elevator position near the tenant of the destination ID. When a plurality of nearby elevators are registered, the distance from the tenant of the destination ID becomes longer in order from the first nearby elevator. The nearby elevators are denoted by "zone-number". In the example of fig. 7, the following is shown: the tenant of the destination ID "a 0001" is closest to the nearby elevator "C-E", that is, the lower elevator position of the elevator of zone E in zone C, next to the elevator of zone a in zone C, and next to the elevator of zone F in zone C.

The control unit 51 refers to the position data 53, and assigns the nearest car of the elevator 4 among the nearby elevators corresponding to the destination ID of the destination information included in the call registration signal, from among the plurality of elevators listed as candidates for the most suitable elevator 4 by the group management control device 2.

Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a floor layout diagram of 5 floors in embodiment 1. In fig. 8, the symbol P is set as the destination of the destination ID included in the call registration signal. The control unit 51 refers to the position data 53, and acquires the nearby elevator "a-A, A-E, A-B" corresponding to "Z0065" of the destination ID. Then, the control unit 51 acquires the most suitable elevator 4 to be a candidate from the group management control device 2 in the zone a. The control unit 51 compares the obtained most suitable elevator 4 as a candidate with the nearby elevator "a-A, A-E, A-B", and assigns the car of the elevator 4 whose lower elevator position is closest to the destination.

For example, when a-A, A-B, A-C is output from the group management control device 2 in the a zone as the most suitable car of the elevator 4 to be a candidate, the control unit 51 assigns the car of the elevator 4 closest to a-a of the destination among the nearby elevators "a-A, A-E, A-B" to the user. Therefore, the communication unit 54 transmits "a-a" as the number to the destination registration apparatus 11 as the deployment information.

For example, when a-B, A-E, A-H is outputted from the group management control device 2 in the a zone as the candidate car of the most suitable elevator 4, the control unit 51 allocates the elevator 4 closest to the destination a-E among the nearby elevators "a-A, A-E, A-B" to the user. Therefore, the communication unit 54 transmits "a-E" as the number to the destination registration apparatus 11 as the deployment information.

The group management control device 2 executes, for example, the following group management control: from among the plurality of cars 5 of each elevator 4, the most suitable car 5 candidate to respond to the hall call registration from the hall of the elevator 4 is determined according to the state of each car 5. Here, the number of candidates may be 1 or more.

The group management control device 2 performs a predetermined evaluation calculation for the generated call based on, for example, the total number of calls (total number of users) of the elevator group 3 and/or the number of calls to each destination floor based on the call registration signal, the outputs from various sensors and detectors, the current position and moving direction (ascending/descending direction) of the car 5, the states of each elevator 4 and each car 5, such as a car hall call, a car call, and a predicted destination floor predicted to occur from this. Then, the group management control device 2 performs the following assignment processing based on the predetermined evaluation calculation: the order of arrival of the cars 5 is determined so that each car 5 can optimally respond to each call while moving appropriately, candidates of the cars 5 responding to each call are assigned, and the car 5 responding is determined. Thus, the group management control device 2 efficiently allocates the operation of the plurality of cars 5, and efficiently serves the operation of the entire elevator group 3.

The individual control device 9 controls the driving of the hoisting machine 8 based on the assignment from the group management control device 2, and moves the car 5 to a target floor. Thereby, the car 5 of each elevator 4 moves up and down in the vertical direction in the elevator shaft, and moves to an elevator landing of an arbitrary destination floor. Then, the car 5 of each elevator 4 arrives at the elevator landing of the destination floor, and the door is opened when the arrival at the predetermined arrival position is detected. Thus, a user waiting at the elevator boarding location can enter the car 5, and the user in the car 5 can get off the elevator at the elevator boarding location.

Next, the elevator registration processing of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.

The user accesses the building and extends the two-dimensional code of the arrival guide 19 obtained from the issuer to the reading unit 221 of the destination registration device 11. Thus, the reading unit 221 reads the two-dimensional code (S11). The analysis unit 101 analyzes the read two-dimensional code to obtain destination information, a guest ID, and an issuer address (S12). The communication section 103 transmits the destination information, the visitor ID, and the issuer address to the control device 50 as a call registration signal (S13).

In the control device 50, the communication unit 54 receives the call registration signal, and the control unit 51 notifies the issuer address included in the call registration signal of a mail indicating that the user indicated by the guest ID has visited the building (S21). Then, the control unit 51 obtains candidates for allocation of the elevator 4 from the group management control device 2 (S22).

Next, the control unit 51 refers to the position data 53 as described above, and assigns the car of the elevator 4 closest to the lower elevator position of the destination as the car to be allocated from the candidates for allocation of the elevator 4 (S23). The communication unit 54 transmits the car number of the assigned car of the elevator 4 to the destination registering device 11 as the allocation information (S24).

In the destination registration apparatus 11, the communication unit 103 receives deployment information from the control apparatus 50. Then, the display control unit 102 displays the received allocation information, that is, the number assigned to the user' S elevator 4, on the display unit 216 (S14).

In this way, in the present embodiment, the two-dimensional code in which the user has registered the destination information is read at the security gate 220, and the control device 50 allocates the car for the elevator 4 based on the destination information so that the route from the security gate 220 to the destination is optimized for the user. That is, the control unit 51 of the control device 50 assigns an elevator whose distance from the elevator-descending position of the destination floor where the destination is located to the destination is the shortest, and causes the display unit 216 of the destination registration device 11 of the security gate 220 to display the assigned elevator 4. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if the visitor who first visits the building and/or the outside person, the optimum elevator number of the elevator 4 can be known by extending the two-dimensional code to the reading unit 221 of the destination registration device 11 at the security gate 220. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, even in the case of a visitor who visits for the first time or a visitor who comes from outside, it is possible to guide the user by allocating the elevator so as to more easily and efficiently reach the destination place, and it is possible to improve the convenience of the user.

(modification example)

The control unit 51 may be configured to: instead of the elevator 4 assigned with the lower elevator position in which the distance to the destination is the shortest, the elevator 4 assigned with the lower elevator position closest to the position of the guide plate indicating the location of the tenant or the like on the floor is assigned.

Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a floor of a destination floor in a modification of embodiment 1. In the example of fig. 10, reference numeral 300 denotes a guide plate. In this example, the position information of the guidance board and the nearby elevator are also registered in the position data 53. For example, A-D, A-H may be registered.

In the present modification, the control unit 51 assigns, to the user, the elevators 4 registered as the proximity guiding plates 300 in the position data 53 among the elevators 4 that are candidates for allocation acquired from the group management control device 2. In the example of fig. 10, a-D, a-H, etc. close to the guide plate 300 are assigned.

In this way, in the present modification, since the elevator 4 at the lower elevator position closest to the position of the guide plate indicating the location of the tenant or the like on the floor is allocated, it is possible to further improve the convenience for the unfamiliar visitor.

(embodiment mode 2)

In embodiment 2, the control device 50 assigns the car of the elevator 4 at the position closest to the destination registration device 11 of the security gate 220.

The configuration of the elevator system 1, the control device 50, and the destination registration device 11 according to embodiment 2 are the same as those according to embodiment 1.

The control unit 51 of the control device 50 according to the present embodiment assigns the car of the elevator 4 at the position closest to the destination registration device 11 of the security gate 220. As such an elevator 4, in the example of fig. 2, for example, B-H, C-D, B-D, C-H is registered in advance in the position data 53 or the like of the control device 50 as an elevator 4 close to the security gate 220, that is, the destination registration device 11, in order. Other functions of the control unit 51 are the same as those of embodiment 1.

Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the elevator registration processing of embodiment 2. The processing of S11 to S13, S21, and S22 is the same as in embodiment 1. When the control unit 51 acquires information on the elevator 4 that is a candidate for allocation from the group management control device 2 at S22, the control unit 51 allocates a car of the elevator 4 that is registered in advance and is close to the destination registration device 11 from the candidate elevator 4 (S33). Then, the communication unit 54 transmits the car number of the assigned car of the elevator 4 to the destination registering device 11 as the allocation information (S24). In the destination registration device 11, the number of the assigned car of the elevator 4 is displayed on the display portion 216 (S14).

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the information of the elevator 4 that becomes a candidate for allocation is acquired, the control unit 51 allocates the car of the elevator 4 that is close to the destination registration device 11 among the candidate elevators 4. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, even in the case of a visitor who visits for the first time or a visitor who comes from outside, the control device 50 can allocate an elevator to a place of a destination more easily and efficiently, and guide the user, thereby further improving the convenience of the user.

(embodiment mode 3)

In embodiment 3, the control device 50 assigns the elevator 4 at the elevator boarding location and the elevator disembarking location where the moving distance from the security gate 220 to the destination is the shortest to the user.

The configuration of the elevator system 1 according to embodiment 3, the configuration of the control device 50, and the destination registration device 11 are the same as those according to embodiment 1.

In the present embodiment, the control unit 51 of the control device 50 assigns the elevator 4 at the boarding location and the alighting location where the moving distance from the security gate 220 to the destination is shortest to the user.

Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a destination of 5 floors superimposed on a floor map of 1 floor in embodiment 3. As shown in fig. 12, the control unit 51 of the control device 50 according to the present embodiment adopts the path 1201, which has the shortest moving distance among the 3

paths

1201, 1202, and 1203 that can be considered for the movement from the position of the destination registration device 11, in which the user of the security gate 220 has read the two-dimensional code, to the destination P. The paths (for example, paths 1201 to 1203) from the security gate 220 to the tenants at the respective destinations and the movement distances of the respective paths are registered in advance in the control device 50 as path data by, for example, an administrator or the like.

The control unit 51 selects and assigns an elevator 4 installed along the shortest route 1201, that is, an elevator 4 of a-a to a-H elevator, from among a plurality of elevators 4 listed as candidates for deployment by the group management control apparatus 2. Other functions of the control unit 51 are the same as those of embodiment 1.

Fig. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the elevator registration processing of embodiment 3. The processing of S11 to S13, S21, and S22 is the same as in embodiment 1. When the control unit 51 acquires information of the elevator 4 that is a candidate for allocation from the group management control device 2 in S22, the control unit 51 assigns, to the user, the elevator 4 at the boarding location and the alighting location where the moving distance from the security gate 220 to the destination is shortest among the candidate elevators 4 as described above (S42). Then, the communication unit 54 transmits the car number of the assigned car of the elevator 4 to the destination registering device 11 as the allocation information (S24). In the destination registration device 11, the number of the assigned car of the elevator 4 is displayed on the display portion 216 (S14).

In this way, in the present embodiment, the control device 50 allocates the elevator 4 at the boarding location and the alighting location where the moving distance from the security gate 220 to the destination is the shortest to the user, and therefore, even in the case of a visitor who visits for the first time or a visitor who arrives from the outside, the elevator can be allocated to reach the location of the destination more easily and efficiently, and the user is guided, and the convenience of the user can be further improved.

In the above embodiment, the two-dimensional code is written with the destination information and/or the guest ID, the issuer address, but is not limited thereto. For example, the destination registration device 11 may be configured to: destination information and/or a guest ID, an issuer address are registered in a visitor IC card, and at the security gate 220, the reading section 221 of the destination registering apparatus 11 reads the destination information and/or the guest ID, the issuer address from the IC card.
