Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

However, in the elevator system described above, since the assigned elevator displays a predetermined time only after the hall destination call registration, when it takes time until the assigned elevator arrives, there is a problem in that the user forgets which side of the left and right the assigned elevator arrives, and an uncomfortable feeling or a feeling of anxiety occurs.

On the other hand, in a scheme in which hall lanterns are installed for each assigned elevator and the hall lantern is turned on to indicate that the elevator responds to a hall destination call, there is a problem in that additional wiring of devices such as hall lanterns is required.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator system that displays an assigned elevator machine when a destination call is registered in a hall, which can eliminate the feeling of insecurity and anxiety of a user waiting for the assigned elevator machine without requiring addition of a device such as a hall lantern or wiring.

Means for solving the problems

The elevator system of the invention comprises: a destination call registration device having destination floor registration means for registering a destination floor in a hall and notification means; a group management control device which determines an assigned car according to a destination call registration request of the destination call registration device, and generates a call assignment command and an assigned elevator; and an elevator control device that performs call assignment based on the call assignment command, and the notification means notifies the assigned elevator, wherein the notification means notifies if an elevator to which a hall destination call is assigned exists in the vicinity when there is no user registering a destination call.

Effects of the invention

An elevator system of the present invention is an elevator system that displays an assigned elevator at the time of registration of a destination call at a hall, and has an effect of eliminating an uncomfortable feeling and a feeling of anxiety of a user waiting for assignment of an elevator without adding or wiring a hall lantern or other device.

No additional equipment and wiring is required, and the uneasiness of the user waiting for the number assignment can be eliminated.

Detailed Description

Embodiment mode 1

Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to fig. 1 to 5.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a destination call registration device in which a user makes a destination call registration request. The destination call registration device 10 has a destination call registration means 11 for registering a destination call by a user and a car state notification means 12 for notifying the state of an elevator in the vicinity.

A group management and control device 20 that manages and controls a plurality of car groups (banks) includes: a destination call registration means 21 that registers a destination call for a destination floor input by the destination call registration device 10; and a car state transmitting means 22 that transmits the car state when there is a request for car state notification from the destination call registration device 10.

Reference numeral 30 denotes each control device provided for each car to perform management control of each car, and includes a car control means 31.

The group control device 20 and each control device 30 are constituted by software on a microcomputer, for example.

Next, the operation will be described. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of the implementation of embodiment 1. When a user of an elevator inputs a destination floor by the destination call registration means 11 of the destination call registration device 10 (F11), the destination call registration device 10 transmits a destination call registration request to the group control device 20 (F12). When receiving a destination call registration request from the destination call registration device 10 (F13), the destination call registration means 21 of the group control device 20 determines an assigned car (F14), transmits an assigned car to the destination call registration device 10 (F15), and transmits a call assignment command to each control device (F16).

When receiving a call assignment command from the group control device 20 (F17), the car control means 31 of each control device 30 performs a call assignment operation (F18). When the destination call registration device 10 receives the assigned elevator from the group control device 20 (F19), it notifies the user of the assigned elevator for a predetermined time (F20).

Here, fig. 3 shows an example of a screen when a destination call registration is performed by the destination call registration device 10. When the destination call registration device 10 shown in fig. 3 is used, an elevator user inputs a destination floor using numeric buttons on the destination call registration device 10, confirms an assigned elevator displayed on a screen, and waits for an elevator in the vicinity of the assigned elevator. Since the destination call registration device 10 is sequentially inputted with destinations by users of the elevators, it is in a state of waiting for input when the assigned elevator is displayed for a predetermined time.

Here, fig. 4 shows an example of a screen when the destination call registration device 10 is in a state of waiting for input.

When the operation by the user has not been performed for a predetermined time (F21), the destination call registration device 10 transmits a car state request to the group control device 20 (F22). Here, the destination call registration device 10 may be provided with a human sensor, and when it is determined by the human sensor that there is no user, a car state request may be transmitted to the group control device 20.

Upon receiving a car state request from the destination call registration device 10 (F23), the group control device 20 transmits the car state of the elevator to which the destination call from the destination call registration device installation floor is assigned among the elevators located in the vicinity of the destination call registration device 10 to the destination call registration device 10 (F24). Here, the group control device 20 may transmit to the destination call registration device 10 only the car state of the elevator to which the destination call from the destination call registration device installation floor is assigned and to which the predetermined time has elapsed since the destination call was assigned, among the elevators located in the vicinity of the destination call registration device 10.

When the destination call registration device 10 receives the car state from the group control device 20 (F25), it notifies the car state for a predetermined time (F26).

Here, fig. 5 shows an example of a screen when the car state is notified by the destination call registration device 10. Shown in fig. 5 as "machine a is about to arrive. Please wait a bit ", but it can also be assumed that" machine a now reaches 5 levels, for example. The display of "arrival after 10 seconds is expected" may notify the position of the machine a, and the display of "arrival expected of the machine a going to 10 th floor and 13 th floor" may be used to show that the machine a is the machine assigned to the destination call going to which floor. In addition, the same content may be notified by voice in cooperation with screen display.

The elevator system configured as described above includes a destination call registration device that registers a destination call in a hall and displays an assigned elevator, and a destination call registration means and a car state notification means provided in the destination call registration device.

Therefore, it is not necessary to add or wire a device such as a hall lantern other than the destination call registration device, and it is possible to eliminate the feeling of insecurity and anxiety of the user waiting for the assigned car.

The structure shown in the embodiments is merely an example, and does not exclude other implementation methods. In addition, a part of the above embodiment may be omitted.
