In the present embodiment, there is provided an elevator control method operating on a mobile terminal, a computer terminal, or the like, it is to be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts of the drawings may be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and that although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases the steps shown or described may be executed in an order different from that shown or described herein.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart of a control method of an elevator according to an embodiment of the application. As shown in fig. 2, the method comprises the steps of:

step S201, obtaining the current bearing weight of a target elevator, wherein the current bearing weight is the total weight of an object currently positioned in the target elevator, and the object at least comprises passengers;

in some cases, the object in the target elevator gets out of the passenger, there are also articles, pets, etc., such as: carts, bicycles, cargo tanks, etc.

Step S202, determining whether the current bearing weight is greater than or equal to a bearing weight threshold;

for example, the rated load of the elevator is 1000kg, the bearing weight threshold value of the elevator is set to be 95+/-2% of the rated load, namely, the bearing weight threshold value is in the range of 930 kg-970 kg, and when the weight detection exceeds the bearing weight threshold value, the elevator is determined to be incapable of bearing redundant personnel. Of course, the load weight threshold may be adjusted according to actual requirements.

In step S203, in the case where the current load weight is greater than or equal to the load weight threshold value and the instruction to push the elevator is received, the control target elevator does not respond to the instruction to push the elevator and is in a straight running state.

In the prior art, even if the running elevator can not bear excessive people any more, the elevator stops at the corresponding floor once a command for pressing the elevator is received, for example, the elevator is in a descending state at present and is in 10 floors, a user presses an elevator descending button at 8 floors, an elevator door can be opened even if the elevator is fully loaded when the elevator descends to 8 floors, and thus the elevator door is opened, but the elevator can not be taken by the user, so that the elevator taking time of passengers is prolonged.

According to the elevator control method, whether the current bearing weight is larger than or equal to the bearing weight threshold value is determined by acquiring the current bearing weight of the target elevator, and the target elevator is controlled not to respond to the elevator pressing instruction and is in a straight driving state under the condition that the current bearing weight is larger than or equal to the bearing weight threshold value and the elevator pressing instruction is received. By applying the scheme of the application, under the condition that the current bearing weight of the target elevator is greater than or equal to the bearing weight threshold value, even if a new user presses an elevator button, the elevator is not stopped, so that the riding time of passengers is saved, namely the service time of the elevator is reasonably utilized. And reduces the electricity consumption cost of the elevator.

In the embodiment of the application, after the current bearing weight of the target elevator is acquired, the method further comprises the following steps:

acquiring the current space occupancy of a target elevator, wherein the current space occupancy is the proportion of the total space occupied by the object currently in the target elevator;

the obtaining of the current space occupancy of the target elevator may be implemented as:

receiving image data of the interior of a target elevator sent by at least one image collector, wherein the at least one image collector is arranged at the top of the target elevator;

specifically, the number of the image collectors can be set according to the information such as the capacity of the elevator, for example, four image collectors are arranged at four top corners of the elevator, and one image collector is arranged at the center of the top of the elevator;

of course, if there is a need, the image collector can be arranged on the side wall of the elevator, and of course, in order not to influence the normal operation of the elevator, a miniature camera can be arranged.

According to the scheme, the number and the positions of the image collectors are set, so that the comprehensive collection of objects in the elevator is realized, and the service for determining the space occupancy is provided for the follow-up;

determining contour data of an object in the target elevator according to the image data in the target elevator; specifically, the target elevator interior image data is shown in fig. 3 and 4. Fig. 5 shows a machine vision simulated character station map.

Fig. 6 shows an isometric view of the interior space of an elevator with cart and person; FIG. 7 illustrates a machine vision dummy and train station bitmap; fig. 8 shows profile data of the object in a target elevator;

specifically, the collected internal image data of the target elevator can be subjected to operations such as denoising, edge lifting and the like, and the acquired internal image data of the target elevator can be provided to the outline data of the object; as shown in particular in fig. 8.

And determining the occupied area of the object according to the outline data of the object, and determining the ratio of the occupied area to the bottom area of the target elevator as the current space occupancy of the target elevator.

For example, the sum of the areas of the five profile data in fig. 8 is determined as the occupied area of the object, and the occupied area of the object is found to be 1.8m ² The floor area of the target elevator is 2m ² The current space occupancy of the target elevator is 90%.

Determining whether the current space occupancy is greater than or equal to a space occupancy threshold under the condition that the current load weight is less than a load weight threshold;

for example, the current load weight is 500kg, greater than the load weight threshold;

for example, the space occupation ratio threshold value is set to 80%. Of course, a suitable space occupancy threshold may be set according to actual requirements.

In the case where the current space occupancy is greater than or equal to the space occupancy threshold and the step-by-step instruction is received, the control target elevator does not respond to the step-by-step instruction and is in a straight-travel state.

I.e. the current space occupancy of the target elevator is 90% greater than the space occupancy threshold value by 80%, in which case the elevator-pressing command is no longer responded to, due to space limitation, even if the current load weight is less than the load weight threshold value.

And controlling the target elevator to respond to the elevator-pressing instruction under the condition that the current bearing weight is smaller than the bearing weight threshold value and the current space occupancy is smaller than the space occupancy threshold value. Namely, under the condition that the weight and the space meet the requirements, the elevator pressing command is normally responded. Smoothly carry the user. And the accurate control on whether the elevator is stopped or not is realized by combining the gravity sensing and the machine vision of the elevator.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises: directly acquiring the current space occupancy of a target elevator; and in the case that the current space occupancy is greater than or equal to the space occupancy threshold and a step-by-step instruction is received, controlling the target elevator not to respond to the step-by-step instruction and to be in a straight driving state. The weight judgment is not carried out, whether the elevator pressing instruction is responded is directly determined according to the current space occupation ratio, and invalid elevator calling during full load is avoided.

In the embodiment of the application, the method is applied to parallel elevators, the parallel elevators comprise a plurality of elevators controlled in a linkage way, the target elevator is one elevator in the parallel elevators, and after the control target elevator does not respond to an elevator pressing instruction and is in a straight driving state, the method further comprises the following steps:

determining whether the current load bearing weight of the at least one non-target elevator is less than a load bearing weight threshold;

determining whether the current space occupancy of the at least one non-target elevator is less than a space occupancy threshold;

and determining the at least one non-target elevator as a candidate elevator when the current load weight of the at least one non-target elevator is smaller than the load weight threshold and the current space occupancy of the non-target elevator is smaller than the space occupancy threshold, wherein the candidate elevator is an elevator to be taken by a passenger performing a step-by-step operation.

That is, in the case of being applied to the parallel elevators, since there are a plurality of elevators in the parallel elevators, in the case where the target elevator cannot carry the user, it is considered whether or not the elevators other than the target elevator can carry the user. For non-target elevators also both weight and space considerations apply. In case both conditions are fulfilled, the non-target elevator is determined as a candidate elevator.

Further, after determining the at least one non-target elevator as a candidate elevator, the method further comprises:

in the case that there is only one candidate elevator, controlling the candidate elevator to stop at the floor where the passenger performing the elevator-pressing operation is located;

that is, in the case that only one non-target elevator meets the requirement, only one option is available to directly control the non-target elevator to be suspended at the floor where the passenger performing the elevator-pressing operation is located;

in the case where there are a plurality of candidate elevators, the candidate elevator having the shortest time taken to travel from the floor where the candidate elevator is currently located to the floor where the passenger performing the elevator-by-elevator operation is located is determined as the final stop elevator, and the final stop elevator is controlled to stop at the floor where the passenger performing the elevator-by-elevator operation is located.

That is, in the case where a plurality of non-target elevators meet the demand, the non-target elevator that takes the shortest time from among the plurality of non-target elevators may be selected as the final stopping elevator.

For example, the floor on which the passenger performing the elevator-pressing operation is located is 8 floors, and the elevator-pressing instruction is a descending instruction, and the first candidate elevator is currently traveling to 10 floors, which is also a descending state; the second candidate elevator is currently driven to 12 floors and is in a descending state; the first candidate elevator currently traveling to the 10 floors is selected at this time as the final stopping elevator.

For example, the floor on which the passenger performing the elevator-pressing operation is located is 8 floors, and the elevator-pressing instruction is a descending instruction, and the first candidate elevator is currently traveling to 10 floors, being in an ascending state; the second candidate elevator is currently driven to 12 floors and is in a descending state; the second candidate elevator currently traveling to floor 12 is selected at this time as the final stopping elevator.

For example, the floor on which the passenger performing the elevator-pressing operation is located is 8 floors, and the elevator-pressing instruction is a descending instruction, and the first candidate elevator is currently traveling to 10 floors, which is a descending state; the second candidate elevator is currently driven to 10 floors and is in a descending state, but the second candidate elevator needs to stay at 11 floors for passengers to get off; the first candidate elevator is selected as the final stopping elevator at this time.

In the case of a plurality of candidate elevators, a final stopping elevator is determined based on the spent time, the spent time weight information, the spent electric energy, and the spent electric energy weight information, wherein the spent electric energy is the electric energy spent from the floor where the candidate elevator is currently located to the floor where the passenger performing the elevator-pressing operation is located.

In some embodiments, where there are multiple candidate elevators, the final stopping elevator is determined by combining the time spent and the power spent. Weight information may be set for the time spent and the power spent, specifically according to the priorities of both, the higher the priority, the higher the weight information is set, the lower the priority, the weight information is set, for example, the weight information for the time spent is set to 60%, and the weight information for the power spent is set to 40%; the weight information that takes time is set to 40%, and the weight information that consumes electric energy is set to 60%.

Further, the sizes of the time spent×time spent weight information and the electric energy spent×electric energy spent weight information are judged; when the time-consuming time weight information is larger than or equal to the power-consuming time-consuming weight information, determining a candidate elevator with the shortest time as a final stopping elevator, and controlling the final stopping elevator to stop at the floor where the passenger performing the elevator-pressing operation is located; in the case where the consumed electric energy x consumed electric energy weight information is smaller than the consumed time x consumed time weight information, the candidate elevator with the least consumed electric energy is determined as the final stop elevator, and the final stop elevator is controlled to stop at the floor where the passenger performing the elevator-by-elevator operation is located.

For example, the floor on which the passenger performing the elevator-pressing operation is located is 8 floors, and the elevator-pressing instruction is a descending instruction, and the first candidate elevator is currently traveling to 10 floors, which is a descending state; the second candidate elevator currently runs to 11 floors and is in a descending state, 10 passengers exist in the first candidate elevator currently, 1 passenger exists in the second candidate elevator currently, and the first candidate elevator is selected as a final stopping elevator according to a time priority rule; according to the rules of priority of consuming electric energy, the second candidate elevator should be selected as the final stopping elevator.

In a more specific implementation, obtaining the current load weight of the target elevator includes:

receiving a weight signal sent by a weight sensor, wherein the weight sensor is arranged at the bottom of the target elevator; namely, a weight sensor arranged at the bottom of the elevator can sense the weight of the object, and a plurality of sensing elements can be arranged in the weight sensor to realize accurate measurement of the weight of the object; the weight sensor is communicated with the central control unit and transmits a weight signal to the central control unit;

the current load weight of the target elevator is determined from the weight signal. The central control unit determines the current bearing weight according to the weight signal.

In a more specific implementation, the weight sensor includes an alarm module, and the method further includes:

receiving alarm information sent by an alarm module, wherein the alarm information is used for indicating that the current load weight of a target elevator is greater than or equal to a load weight threshold value;

and generating a truncation instruction according to the alarm information, wherein the truncation instruction is used for controlling the target elevator not to respond to the elevator pressing instruction.

The alarm module arranged in the weight sensor can realize the transmission of alarm information to the central control unit so that the central control unit controls the elevator.

In addition, the alarm module can also be a buzzer, and can send out a prompt tone to play a role in reminding when the current bearing weight of the target elevator is greater than or equal to the bearing weight threshold value.

In order to make the technical solution of the application more clear for the person skilled in the art, the implementation of the control method of an elevator according to the application will be described in detail below in connection with specific embodiments.

The present embodiment relates to a specific elevator control method, as shown in fig. 9, including:

firstly judging whether a termination condition (for example, reaching the stop time of elevator operation) is reached, and if so, ending the flow; in the no case, it is determined whether the user performing the step-down operation is a new user (i.e., a new user, a new passenger), and if so, it is determined whether the request is the same as the request of the previous user, for example, the new user presses the down button at layer 8, and the previous user presses the up button at layer 8; in case the requests are not identical, the new user presses the new request; continuously judging whether the elevator responds to a new request, determining the running direction of the elevator under the condition of response, and moving the elevator to a corresponding floor; in the case where the present elevator does not respond to a new request, it is determined whether another elevator can respond, i.e. whether there is an available elevator, and whether the particular elevator is available, both in terms of weight and space occupancy, in which case the final stopping elevator is selected. And continuing to control the final stopping elevator to move to the target floor.

It should be noted that the steps illustrated in the flowcharts of the figures may be performed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and that although a logical order is illustrated in the flowcharts, in some cases the steps illustrated or described may be performed in an order other than that illustrated herein.
