Abstract

An elevator control receives car calls for certain floors which are subject to a restriction of operation, but does not prevent the storage of these car calls. The car calls subject to the restriction of operation are only served during the trip in the opposite direction, if a load increase has been detected by a load measurement device during the change in the direction of travel. The restriction of operation is only cancelled during a predetermined time interval dependent on the movement of the car door and simultaneous occurrence of a load change caused by added travelers. Two storage cells are connected to the car call circuits for the car calls subject to the restriction of operation where an entered call, during a cancelled restriction of operation, is stored in the first storage cell and, during the restriction of operation, is stored in the second storage cell. A call stored in the first storage cell is transferred to the travel control of the elevator prior to the change of direction of travel and a call stored in the second storage cell is only transferred after the change of direction of the elevator.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur Steuerung von Aufzügen mit Doppelkabinen, die aus zwei in einem gemeinsamen Fahrkorbrahmen angeordneten, jeweils zwei benachbarte Stockwerke bedienenden Kabinen gebildet sind, mit den Kabinen zugeordneten Kabinenrufgebern, Kabinenrufspeichern, Lastmesseinrichtungen, automatischen Türen und Türsteuerungseinrichtungen, wobei die Kabinenrufe für Fahrten zu Stockwerken, die in Fahrtrichtung vor der jeweiligen Kabine liegen, einer Bedienungsbeschränkung unterliegen, welche zwischen zwei Rufgruppen unterscheidet, wovon die erste Rufgruppe Rufe für ungeradzahlige Stockwerke der oberen Kabine und Rufe für geradzahlige Stockwerke der unteren Kabine umfasst, und die zweite Rufgruppe Rufe für geradzahlige Stockwerke der oberen Kabine und Rufe für ungeradzahlige Stockwerke der unteren Kabine umfasst, und wobei die Bedienungsbeschränkung aufgehoben werden kann.The invention relates to a device for controlling elevators with double cabins, which are formed from two cabins arranged in a common car frame, each serving two adjacent floors, with the car call transmitters assigned to the cars, car call memories, load measuring devices, automatic doors and door control devices, the car calls for journeys to floors that are in front of the respective cabin in the direction of travel are subject to an operating restriction that distinguishes between two call groups, of which the first call group includes calls for odd-numbered floors in the upper cabin and calls for even-numbered floors in the lower cabin, and the second call group calls for even-numbered floors Upper car floors and calls for odd-numbered lower car floors, and the operating restriction can be lifted.

Mit der CH-PS 529 054 und US-A-3 625 311 ist eine Steuerung für eine Aufzugsgruppe mit Doppelkabinen bekannt geworden, bei der die Doppelkabinen derartig ausgebildet sind, dass zwei benachbarte Stockwerke gleichzeitig bedient werden können und die eine dem Oberbegriff ähnliche Einrichtung aufweist. Hierbei soll das Füllen eines Gebäudes in möglichst kurzer Zeit bei annähernd gleichmässiger Belegung der Doppelkabinen dadurch erreicht werden, dass im Erdgeschoss die Fahrgäste zu geradzahligen Stockwerken in die obere Kabine, zu den ungeradzahligen in die untere Kabine einsteigen, wobei jeweils die Kabinenrufgeber für die nicht der Kabine zugeordneten Stockwerke gesperrt sind. Sobald die Kabine auf einen Stockwerkruf anhalten muss, wird die Sperrung aufgehoben, so dass ein Zusteiger zu beliebigen Stockwerken in Aufwärtsrichtung fahren kann. Ebenso können Fahrgäste, die im Erdgeschoss in die falsche Kabine gestiegen sind, durch nochmalige Betätigung der Kabinenrufgeber nun doch in die gewünschten Stockwerke fahren, wodurch das angestrebte Zeil, das Gebäude in möglichst kurzer Zeit zu füllen, kaum erreichbar ist. Dieselbe Situation entsteht unnötigerweise auch dann, wenn ein Fahrgast den von ihm gerufenen Aufzug nicht benutzt. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist darin zu sehen, dass, wenn bei einem Halt auf einen Kabinenruf ein Fahrgast einsteigt, ohne den Stockwerkrufgeber zu betätigen, die Sperrung nicht aufgehoben wird, so dass der Fahrgast das gewünschte Stockwerk gegebenenfalls nicht erreichen kann. Als Kabinenrufgeber verwendet vorstehend beschriebene Steuerung Kaltkathodenröhren, die gleichzeitig als Kabinenrufspeicher dienen. Die Sperrung dieser Kabinenrufgeber erfolgt durch Unterbrechung der Anodenspannung, wobei die Speicherung der Kabinenrufe verhindert wird. Letzteres kann als Nachteil angesehen werden, da die Rufe nach Aufhebung der Sperrung nochmals eingegeben werden müssen.With CH-PS 529 054 and US-A-3 625 311 a control for an elevator group with double cabins has become known, in which the double cabins are designed such that two adjacent floors can be served simultaneously and which has a device similar to the preamble . In this case, the filling of a building should be achieved in the shortest possible time with almost even occupancy of the double cabins in that on the ground floor the passengers enter the even cabin on the even-numbered floors in the upper cabin and the odd-numbered ones in the lower cabin Stalls assigned to the cabin are blocked. As soon as the car has to stop for a floor call, the lock is released so that a person boarding can go up to any floor. Likewise, passengers who have climbed into the wrong cabin on the ground floor can now go to the desired floors by pressing the cabin caller again, which means that the goal of filling the building in the shortest possible time can hardly be reached. The same situation arises unnecessarily even if a passenger does not use the elevator he has called. Another disadvantage can be seen in the fact that if a passenger steps onto a cabin call without activating the floor call transmitter, the lock is not released, so that the passenger may not be able to reach the desired floor. The controller described above uses cold cathode tubes as the car call transmitter, which simultaneously serve as the car call memory. These cabin call transmitters are blocked by interrupting the anode voltage, the storage of the cabin calls being prevented. The latter can be seen as a disadvantage, since the calls have to be re-entered after the block is lifted.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einrichtung gemäss Oberbegriff zu schaffen, welche die dem genannten Stand der Technik anhaftenden Nachteile nicht aufweist und mittels welcher insbesondere das Ziel, ein Gebäude in möglichst kurzer Zeit zu füllen und auch Zusteigern bei nichtbetätigten Stockwerkrufgebern die Wahl des gewünschten Stockwerkes zu gestatten, besser erreicht werden kann. Es ist ausserdem Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Einrichtung derart auszubilden, dass die während des beschränkten Betriebes betätigten Kabinenrufgeber für die der Bedienungsbeschränkung unterliegenden Kabinenrufe nach Aufhebung der Bedienungsbeschränkung kein zweites Mal betätigt werden müssen.The invention has for its object to provide a device according to the preamble, which does not have the disadvantages inherent in the prior art mentioned and by means of which in particular the goal of filling a building in the shortest possible time and also boarding for non-actuated floor callers the choice of the desired To allow floor can be better achieved. It is also an object of the invention to design the device in such a way that the car call transmitters actuated during the restricted operation do not have to be actuated a second time for the car calls subject to the operating restriction after the operating restriction has been lifted.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in den Patentansprüchen gekennzeichnete Erfindung gelöst. Hierbei werden alle während der Bedienungsbeschränkung eingegebenen Kabinenrufe in den Kabinerufspeichern gespeichert, wobei jedoch die der Bedienungsbeschränkung unterliegenden Kabinenrufe erst bei der nächstfolgenden Fahrt in Gegenrichtung bedient werden, sofern beim Fahrtrichtungswechsel durch Lastmessung eine Last festgestellt wird. Die Bedienungsbeschränkung wird nur während eines bestimmten, von der Türbewegung abhängigen Zeitabschnittes und gleichzeitigem Auftreten einer durch Zusteiger verursachten Laständerung aufgehoben. Den Kabinenrufgebern für die der Bedienungsbeschränkung unterliegenden Kabinenrufe sind je zwei Speicherzellen zugeordnet, wobei ein eingegebener Ruf bei aufgehobener Bedienungsbeschränkung in der ersten Speicherzelle und bei wirksamer Bedienungsbeschränkung in der zweiten Speicherzelle gespeichert wird und wobei ein in der ersten Speicherzelle gespeicherter Ruf vor dem Fahrtrichtungswechsel und ein in der zweiten Speicherzelle gespeicherter Ruf erst nach dem Fahrtrichtungswechsel der Fahrsteuerung des Aufzuges übergeben wird.This object is achieved by the invention characterized in the claims. In this case, all of the car calls entered during the operating restriction are stored in the car call memories, but the car calls subject to the operating restriction are only served on the next journey in the opposite direction, provided that a load is detected when the direction of travel is changed by measuring the load. The operating restriction is only lifted during a certain period of time that is dependent on the door movement and at the same time a load change caused by boarding occurs. The car call transmitters for the car calls subject to the service restriction are each assigned two memory cells, with an entered call being stored in the first memory cell when the service restriction is lifted and in the second memory cell when the service restriction is effective, and a call stored in the first memory cell before the change of direction and an in the call stored in the second memory cell is only transferred to the travel control of the elevator after the change of direction.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile liegen darin, dass die während der Fahrt durch die der Bedienungsbeschränkung unterliegenden Kabinenrufe verursachten Halte wesentlich reduziert werden können, so dass eine kürzere Füllzeit erreichbar ist. Trotzdem können mit der vorgeschlagenen Lösung Zusteiger zu beliebigen Stockwerken fahren, wobei dies auch Zusteigern von solchen Stockwerken möglich ist, für welche kein Stockwerkruf eingegeben wurde. Weiterhin ist es als vorteilhaft anzusehen, dass die während des beschränkten Betriebes betätigten Kabinenrufgeber für die der Bedienungsbeschränkung unterliegenden Kabinenrufe nach Aufhebung der Bedienungsbeschränkung kein zweites Mal betätigt werden müssen. Ein weiterer Vorteil wird damit erzielt, dass derartige Kabinenrufe noch in der Haupthaltestelle durch eine zweite Betätigung des gleichen Kabinenrufgebers wieder gelöscht werden können.The advantages achieved by the invention are that the stops caused during the journey due to the cabin calls subject to the operating restriction can be significantly reduced, so that a shorter filling time can be achieved. Nevertheless, boarders can travel to any floor with the proposed solution, whereby boarding is also possible from floors for which no floor call has been entered. Furthermore, it is to be regarded as advantageous that the car call transmitters operated during the restricted operation do not have to be operated a second time for the car calls subject to the operating restriction after the operating restriction has been lifted. A further advantage is achieved in that such car calls can still be deleted in the main stop by a second actuation of the same car call transmitter.

In der Fig. 1 ist mit 1 ein beispielsweise vier Stockwerke E10, E 11, E12, E13 umfassender Teil eines Aufzugsschachtes bezeichnet, in welchem eine über ein Förderseil 2 antreibbare Doppelkabine 3 geführt ist. Die Doppelkabine 3 ist aus zwei in einem gemeinsamen Fahrkorbrahmen eingebaute Kabinen 4, 5 gebildet, die derart angeordnet sind, dass ihr Abstand voneinander mit dem Abstand zweier benachbarter Stockwerke übereinstimmt.

Die mittels der Kabinenrufgeber 9, 10 erzeugbaren Kabinenrufe bilden zwei Rufgruppen, wovon die erste Rufgruppe Rufe für ungeradzahlige Stockwerke der oberen Kabine und Rufe für geradzahlige Stockwerke der unteren Kabine umfasst, und die zweite Rufgruppe aus Rufen für geradzahlige Stockwerke der oberen Kabine und Rufen für ungeradzahlige Stockwerke der unteren Kabine besteht. Jede der beiden Rufgruppen kann einer Bedienungsbeschränkung unterworfen werden, die bei der Aufwärts- und bei der Abwärtsfahrt der Doppelkabine 3 wirksam werden kann. In der nachfolgenden Beschreibung wird beispielsweise davon ausgegangen, dass lediglich die erste Rufgruppe bei der Aufwärtsfahrt einer Bedienungsbeschränkung unterliegt.In FIG. 1, 1 denotes, for example, a part of an elevator shaft comprising four floors E10, E 11, E12, E13, in which one over a conveyor cable 2 driven double cabin 3 is guided. The double cabin 3 is formed from two cabins 4, 5 installed in a common car frame, which are arranged in such a way that their distance from one another corresponds to the distance between two adjacent floors. Each cabin 4, 5 of the double cabin 3 has a load measuring device 6, an automatically operated door 7 with associated door control device 8, cabin call transmitter 9 for odd-numbered floors and cabin call transmitter 10 for even-numbered floors and a cabin call memory 11. The car calls that can be generated by the car call transmitters 9, 10 form two call groups, of which the first call group comprises calls for odd-numbered floors of the upper car and calls for even-numbered floors of the lower car, and the second call group of calls for even-numbered floors of the upper car and calls for odd-numbered cars Floors of the lower cabin. Each of the two call groups can be subjected to an operating restriction, which can become effective when the double cabin 3 is moving up and down. In the following description it is assumed, for example, that only the first call group is subject to an operating restriction when traveling upwards.

The outputs Q of the memory cells 11.1 are connected to an input K4 of the relevant car call signaling circuit 19.

Mit 23 ist eine Sperrschaltung bezeichnet, die aus einem zwei Eingänge aufweisenden ODER-Gatter 24 und einem zwei Eingänge aufweisenden UND-Gatter 25 besteht. Die Eingänge des ODER-Gatters 24 sind mit den Ausgängen der UND-Gatter 21, 22 der weiteren Schaltungsanordnung 18 verbunden. Der Ausgang des ODER-Gatters 24 ist an einem Eingang des UND-Gatters 25 angeschlossen, dessen anderem Eingang eine Fahrtrichtungsinformation FI zugeführt wird.23 with a blocking circuit is referred to, which consists of a two-input OR gate 24 and a two-input AND gate 25. The inputs of the OR gate 24 are connected to the outputs of the AND gates 21, 22 of the further circuit arrangement 18. The output of the OR gate 24 is connected to an input of the AND gate 25, the other input of which is supplied with travel direction information FI.

Gemäss Fig. 2 besteht die Kabinenruf-Signalisationsschaltung 19 aus zwei Signallampen 26,27 und vier Leistungsschaltelementen 28, 29, 30, 31, beispielsweise in Form von Transistorschaltern. Bei der oberen Kabine 4 sind die Signallampen 26 den ungeradzahligen Kabinenrufgebern 9 und die Signallampen 27 den benachbarten geradzahligen Kabinenrufgebern 10 zugeordnet. Bei der unteren Kabine 5 sind die Signallampen 26 den geradzahligen Kabinenrufgebern 10 und die Signallampen 27 den benachbarten ungeradzahligen Kabinenrufgebern 9 zugeordnet. Die Signallampe 26 ist den Ausgangskreisen der Leistungsschaltelemente 28, 29, 30 gemeinsam, während die Signallampe 27 lediglich im Ausgangskreis des Leistungsschaltelementes 31 angeordnet ist. Mit K5, K6, K7 sind weitere Eingänge bezeichnet, über welche den Ausgangskreisen der Leistungsschaltelemente 28-31 Spannung zugeführt wird. Die Eingangskreise der Leistungsschaltelemente 28-31 sind mit den Eingängen K1-K4 verbunden, so dass bei Eingabe eines Kabinenrufes die entsprechende Signallampe 26, 27 aufleuchtet. Hierbei wird über den Eingang K5 Nennspannung zugeführt, wobei die Signallampen 26,27 normal leuchten. Über den Eingang K6 wird lediglich ein Teil der Nennspannung zugeführt, so dass die Signallampe 26 schwächer leuchtet. Die über den Eingang K7 zugeführte Spannung ist intermittierend, so dass die Signallampe 26 intermittierend leuchtet.2, the car call signaling circuit 19 consists of two signal lamps 26, 27 and four power switching elements 28, 29, 30, 31, for example in the form of transistor switches. In the upper cabin 4, the signal lamps 26 are assigned to the odd-numbered car call generators 9 and the signal lamps 27 to the adjacent even-numbered car call generators 10. In the lower cabin 5, the signal lamps 26 are assigned to the even-numbered car call generators 10 and the signal lamps 27 to the adjacent odd-numbered car call generators 9. The signal lamp 26 is common to the output circuits of the power switching elements 28, 29, 30, while the signal lamp 27 is only arranged in the output circuit of the power switching element 31. K5, K6, K7 denote further inputs via which voltage is supplied to the output circuits of the power switching elements 28-31. The input circuits of the power switching elements 28-31 are connected to the inputs K1-K4, so that the corresponding signal lamp 26, 27 lights up when a cabin call is input. In this case, nominal voltage is supplied via the input K5, the signal lamps 26, 27 illuminating normally. Only part of the nominal voltage is supplied via the input K6, so that the signal lamp 26 lights up more weakly. The voltage supplied via the input K7 is intermittent, so that the signal lamp 26 illuminates intermittently.

In der Fig. 3 sind mit 32 Stockwerkrufgeber bezeichnet, die auf den beispielsweise dargestellten Stockwerken E10-E13 angeordnet und mit den Eingängen eines Stockwerkrufspeichers 33 verbunden sind. Jeder Speicherzelle des Stockwerkrufspeichers 33 ist ein zwei Eingänge aufweisendes UND-Gatter 34 zugeordnet, dessen einer Eingang mit dem Ausgang der Speicherzelle verbunden ist. Die zweiten Eingänge der UND-Gatter 34 sind mit einem nicht dargestellten, Kabinenpositionssignale erzeugenden Selektor verbunden, wobei zwei Kabinenpositionssignale entsprechend den dargestellten Stockwerken mit S10-S13 bezeichnet sind. Die Ausgänge der UND-Gatter 34 sind an den Eingängen eines ODER-Gatters 35 angeschlossen, dessen Ausgang mit denjenigen Eingängen der UND-Gatter 12 verbunden ist, die bei der Ausführung gemäss Fig. 1 mit den Lastmesseinrichtungen 6 in Verbindung stehen.In FIG. 3, 32 floor call transmitters are designated, which are arranged on the floors E10-E13 shown as an example and are connected to the inputs of a floor call memory 33. Each memory cell of the storey call memory 33 is assigned an AND gate 34 having two inputs, one input of which is connected to the output of the memory cell. The second inputs of the AND gates 34 are connected to a selector (not shown) which generates car position signals, two car position signals corresponding to the floors shown being designated S10-S13. The outputs of the AND gates 34 are connected to the inputs of an OR gate 35, the output of which is connected to those inputs of the AND gates 12 which are connected to the load measuring devices 6 in the embodiment according to FIG. 1.

Die anhand der Fig. 1 und 2 beschriebene Einrichtung arbeitet wie folgt:The device described with reference to Figures 1 and 2 operates as follows:

Beim Einsteigen in der Haupthaltestelle, welche sich beispielsweise im Erdgeschoss befinden möge, werden die Fahrgäste durch Hinweisschilder darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass für die Aufwärtsfahrt zu geradzahligen Stockwerken die obere Kabine 4 und für die Aufwärtsfahrt zu ungeradzahligen Stockwerken die untere Kabine 5 benutzt werden soll. Es möge angenommen sein, dass in der oberen Kabine 4 über einen geradzahligen Kabinenrufgeber 10 für Stockwerk 18 ein Ruf eingegeben wird. Der in der betreffenden Speicherzelle 11.1 des Kabinenrufspeichers 11 gespeicherte Ruf steht hierbei der Fahrsteuerung des Aufzuges uneingeschränkt zur Verfügung (Anschluss I, Fig. 1). Gleichzeitig wird über den Eingang K4 das Leistungsschaltelement 31 angesteuert, so dass die Signallampe 27 normal leuchtet, womit der Ruf als bei der Aufwärtsfahrt normal bedienbar quittiert wird. Es möge weiterhin angenommen sein, dass in der oberen Kabine 4 über einen ungeradzahligen Kabinenrufgeber 9 für Stockwerk 17 ein Ruf eingegeben wird. Hierbei wird bei vorhandener Haupthaltestellen-Information HI über das UND-Gatter 14, den 2bit-Zähler 17 (Ausgang A 1) und das ODER-Gatter 16 die zugeordnete zweite Speicherzelle 11.3 des Kabinenrufgebers 11 gesetzt. Gleichzeitig wird über das UND-Gatter 22 und den Eingang K3 das Leistungsschaltelement 30 angesteuert, so dass die Signallampe 26 intermittierend leuchtet. Damit wird dem Fahrgast angezeigt, dass dieser Ruf einer Bedienungsbeschränkung unterliegt und wieder gelöscht werden kann, wobei unter Bedienungsbeschränkung zu verstehen ist, dass der Ruf erst bei der nächstfolgenden Abwärtsfahrt bedient wird. Hierbei wird der am Ausgang des UND-Gatters 21 der weiteren Schaltungsanordnung 18 vorhandene Ruf mittels der Sperrschaltung 23 während der Aufwärtsfahrt gesperrt. Bei Beginn der Abwärtsfahrt und dem Auftreten der Fahrtrichtungsinformation FI erscheint der Ruf am Ausgang des UND-Gatters 25 der Sperrschaltung 23 und steht damit der Fahrsteuerung des Aufzuges uneingeschränkt zur Verfügung (Anschluss 11, Fig. 1). Hat der Fahrgast die Absicht, diesen Ruf noch in der Haupthaltestelle wieder zu löschen, so muss der betreffende Kabinenrufgeber 9 ein zweites Mal betätigt werden. Hierbei wird bei vorhandener Haupthaltestellen-Information HI.über das UND-Gatter 14 und den 2bit-Zähler 17 (Ausgang A2) die zugeordnete zweite Speicherzelle 11.3 des Kabinenrufspeichers 11 zurückgesetzt.When boarding the main stop, which may be located on the ground floor, for example, the passengers are informed by signs that the upper cabin 4 should be used for the ascent to even-numbered floors and the lower cabin 5 for the ascent to odd-numbered floors. It may be assumed that a call is entered in the upper cabin 4 via an even-numbered car call transmitter 10 for floor 18. The call stored in the relevant memory cell 11.1 of the car call memory 11 is available for driving control of the elevator without restriction (connection I, FIG. 1). At the same time, the power switching element 31 is controlled via the input K4, so that the signal lamp 27 lights up normally, with which the call is acknowledged as being normally operable during the upward travel. It may also be assumed that a call is entered in the upper cabin 4 via an odd-numbered car call transmitter 9 for floor 17. If main stop information HI is present, the assigned second memory cell 11.3 of the car call transmitter 11 is set via the AND gate 14, the 2-bit counter 17 (output A 1) and the OR gate 16. At the same time, the power switching element 30 is driven via the AND gate 22 and the input K3, so that the signal lamp 26 lights up intermittently. This indicates to the passenger that this call is subject to an operating restriction and can be deleted again, whereby the operating restriction is understood to mean that the call is only served the next time the vehicle descends. In this case, the call present at the output of the AND gate 21 of the further circuit arrangement 18 is blocked by means of the blocking circuit 23 during the upward movement. At the start of the downward movement and the occurrence of the travel direction information FI, the call appears at the output of the AND gate 25 of the blocking circuit 23 and is thus available without restriction to the travel control of the elevator (connection 11, FIG. 1). If the passenger intends to delete this call again at the main stop, the car caller 9 concerned must be actuated a second time. If main stop information HI. Is present, the assigned second memory cell 11.3 of the car call memory 11 is reset via the AND gate 14 and the 2-bit counter 17 (output A2).

Wenn der fälschlich eingegebene Ruf nicht gelöscht wurde, so wird nach Beginn der Aufwärtsfahrt und bei Vorhandensein der negierten Haupthaltestellen-Information iT1, der negierten Türinformation TIO und der negierten Lastinformation LIO über das UND-Gatter 21 und den Eingang K2 das Leistungsschaltelement 29 angesteuert, so dass die Signallampe 26 vom intermittierend leuchtenden in den schwach leuchtenden Zustand übergeht, und damit ebenfalls die Bedienungsbeschränkung anzeigt. Die gleiche Wirkung wird erzielt, wenn der beispielsweise gewählte Ruf für Stockwerk 17 erst während der Aufwärtsfahrt eingegeben wird. Hierbei wird die zweite Speicherzelle 11.3 jedoch über das UND-Gatter 15 und das ODER-Gatter 16 gesetzt. Bevor bei Beginn der Abwärtsfahrt die der Bedienungsbeschränkung unterliegenden Rufe zur Bedienung freigegeben werden, wird durch Lastmessung festgestellt, ob noch Fahrgäste in der Doppelkabine 3 sind. Unterschreitet das Messergebnis eine vorbestimmte Minimallast, so werden die in den zweiten Speicherzellen 11.3 gespeicherten Rufe gelöscht.If the incorrectly entered call has not been deleted, the power switching element 29 is activated after the start of the upward journey and in the presence of the negated main stop information iT1, the negated door information TIO and the negated load information LIO via the AND gate 21 and the input K2 that the signal lamp 26 changes from the intermittently lit to the dimly lit state, and thus also indicates the operating restriction. The same effect is achieved if the call selected for floor 17, for example, is only entered during the ascent. In this case, however, the second memory cell 11.3 is set via the AND gate 15 and the OR gate 16. Before the calls subject to the operating restriction are released for operation at the start of the descent, a load measurement is used to determine whether there are still passengers in the double cabin 3. If the measurement result falls below a predetermined minimum load, the calls stored in the second memory cells 11.3 are deleted.

Bei Unterbrechung der Aufwärtsfahrt wegen eines Haltes aufgrund eines Kabinen-oder Stockwerkrufes wird mit dem Öffnen der Tür 7, beispielsweise der oberen Kabine 4, die Türinformation TIO erzeugt, Da gleichzeitig die negierte Haupthaltestellen-Information HI vorliegt und beim Zusteigen mindestens eines Fahrgastes durch Laständerung die Lastinformation LIO erzeugt wird, kann über alle der oberen Kabine 4 zugeordneten UND-Gatter 12 ein Kabinenruf eingegeben werden. Es möge nun angenommen sein, dass ein Ruf für das ungeradzahlige Stockwerk 17 eingegeben wird. Hierbei wird der Ruf in der zugeordneten ersten Speicherzelle 11.2 des Kabinenrufspeichers 11 der oberen Kabine 4 gespeichert und steht der Fahrsteuerung des Aufzuges uneingeschränkt zur Verfügung (Anschluss 111, Fig. 1). Gleichzeitig wird über den Eingang K1 das Leistungsschaltelement 28 angesteuert, so dass die Signallampe 26 normal leuchtet, womit der Ruf als bei der Aufwärtsfahrt normal bedienbar quittiert wird. Wenn, wie anfänglich beschrieben, schon in der Haupthaltestelle ein Ruf für Stockwerk 17 eingegeben und die Bedienungsbeschränkung dieses Rufes durch schwaches Leuchten der Signallampe 26 signalisiert wurde, so wird über das NICHT-Gatter 20, das UND-Gatter 21, den Eingang K2 und das Leistungsschaltelement 29 die das schwache Leuchten bewirkende Spannung abgeschaltet. Gleichzeitig verschwindet am Ausgang des UND-Gatters 21 der beschränkt bedienbare Ruf für Stockwerk 17.If the upward travel is interrupted due to a stop due to a car or floor call, when the door 7, for example the upper car 4, is opened, the door information TIO is generated, Da at the same time the negated main stop information HI is present and when at least one passenger gets on the load information LIO by changing the load, a cabin call can be entered via all AND gates 12 assigned to the upper cabin 4. It may now be assumed that a call for the odd-numbered floor 17 is entered. In this case, the call is stored in the assigned first memory cell 11.2 of the car call memory 11 of the upper car 4 and is available for driving control of the elevator without restriction (connection 111, FIG. 1). At the same time, the power switching element 28 is controlled via the input K1, so that the signal lamp 26 lights up normally, with which the call is acknowledged as being normally operable during the upward travel. If, as described initially, a call for floor 17 has already been entered in the main station and the operating restriction of this call has been signaled by the signal lamp 26 being weakly lit, then the NOT gate 20, the AND gate 21, the input K2 and that Power switching element 29 switched off the voltage causing the weak glow. At the same time, the limited use call for floor 17 disappears at the output of AND gate 21.

Die Einrichtung gemäss Fig. 3 arbeitet während eines Haltes der Doppelkabine 3 in der Haupthaltestelle genau wie die Einrichtung gemäss Fig. 1. Während der Aufwärtsfahrt arbeitet die anhand der Fig.3 beschriebene Einrichtung jedoch wie folgt:The device according to FIG. 3 works in exactly the same way as the device according to FIG. 1 while the double cabin 3 is stopped in the main stop. However, during the upward travel the device described with reference to FIG. 3 works as follows:

Es möge angenommen sein, dass auf Stockwerk E11 ein Stockwerkruf eingegeben wurde und die Doppelkabine 3 bei der Aufwärtsfahrt mit der unteren Kabine 5 auf diesem Stockwerk einfährt. Bei Koinzidenz des gespeicherten Stockwerkrufes für Stockwerk E11 und dem vom Selektorerzeugten Kabinenpositionssignal S 11, tritt am Ausgang des ODER-Gatters 35 die Stockwerkinformation EI auf, die den UND-Gattern 12 zugeführt wird. Bei gleichzeitigem Vorhandensein der negierten Haupthaltestellen-Information Hl und der Türinformation TIU an den Eingängen der der unteren Kabine 5 zugeordneten UND-Gatter 12, kann ein unbeschränkt bedienbarer Ruf über die geradzahligen Kabinenrufgeber 10 eingegeben werden. Bei der Eingabe eines Kabinenrufes für beispielsweise Stockwerk 18 laufen hierbei die gleichen Vorgänge ab wie bei der im vorstehenden Abschnitt geschilderten Eingabe eines Kabinenrufes für Stockwerk 17 in der oberen Kabine 4.It may be assumed that a floor call was entered on floor E11 and the double cabin 3 moves in with the lower cabin 5 on this floor during the ascent. If the stored floor call for floor E11 and the cabin position signal S 11 generated by the selector coincide, the floor information EI occurs at the output of the OR gate 35 and is supplied to the AND gates 12. If the negated main stop information H1 and the door information TIU are present at the inputs of the AND gates 12 assigned to the lower car 5, an unrestrictedly operable call can be entered via the even-numbered car call transmitter 10. When entering a car call for, for example, floor 18, the same processes take place here as when entering a car call for floor 17 in the upper car 4 described in the previous section.

Anstelle der Stockwerkinformation EI kann den UND-Gattern 12 ein bei einem Halt der Doppelkabine 3 erzeugtes Bedienungsrichtungssignal zugeführt werden, wobei die gleiche, vorstehend beschriebene Wirkung erzielt wird.Instead of the floor information EI, an operating direction signal generated when the double cabin 3 is stopped can be fed to the AND gates 12, the same effect described above being achieved.

that on stop of the double cabin (3) at a main stopping station and the existence of a main stopping station information (HI) at one input of the AND-gate (14), the cabin call transmitters (9, 10) of this one call group are connected on entering of a call through the other input of the one AND-gate (14), the input (E) and the first output (A1) of the 2-bit counter (17) as well as the OR-gate (16) with the set input (S) of the second storage cell (11.3),and on repeated operation of the same cabin call transmitter (9, 10),this one is connected through the other input of the one AND-gate (14), the input (E) and the second output (A2) of the 2-bit counter (17) with the reset input (R) of the second storage cell (11.3), so that a stored call is again cancelled, and
that during the travel (starting) from the main stopping station and the existence of a negated main stopping station information (HI) at one input of the other AND-gate (15) the cabin call transmitters (9, 10) of this one call group are connected on call entering by way of the other input of the other AND-gate (15) and the OR-gate (16) with the set input (S) of the second storage cell (11.3).
13. Installation according to patent claim 6, so characterized,
that the outputs (Q) of the first and second storage cells (1 1.2, 1 1.3) are connected through further time switching arrangements (18) with cabin signalization circuits (19),
that every further switching arrangement (18) consists of a NOT-gate (20), an AND-gate (21) exhibiting five inputs and an AND-gate (22) exhibiting two inputs,
that the output (Q) of the first storage cell (11.2) is connected with the first input (K1) of the cabin call signalization circuit (19) and through the NOT-gate (20) with an input of the one AND-gate (21),
that the output (Q) of the second storage cell (11.3) is connected with a second input of the one AND-gate (21) and with one input of the other AND-gate (22), where the output of the one AND-gate (21) is connected to a second input (K2) and the output of the other AND-gate (22) to a third input (K3) of the cabin call signalization circuit (19), and
that during the travel from the main stopping station a negated main stopping station information (HI), a negated door information (TIO, TIU) and a negated load information (DO, LIU) respectively floor information (EI) is fed to the remaining inputs of the one AND-gate (21), and a main stopping station information (HI) is fed to the other input of the other AND-gate (22) during the stop at the main stopping station.
14. Installation according to patent claims 6 and 13, so characterized,
that the cabin signalizations circuit (19) exhibits at least three power switching elements (28, 29, 30), a signal light (26) common to all output circuits of the power switching elements (28, 29,30) and a fifth, sixth and seventh input, through which voltage is fed to the output circuits,
that nominal voltage is fed through the fifth input (K5), part of the nominal voltage through the sixth input (K6) and intermittent voltage through the seventh input (K7), and
that the input circuits of the three power switching circuits (28, 29, 30) are connected with the first, second and third input (K1, K2, K3) of the cabin call signalization circuit (19),
so that at a call stored in the first storage cell (11.2) the signal light (26) will light normally, at a call stored in the second storage cell (11.3) during the travel from the main stopping station the signal light (26) will glow fainter and at a call stored in the second storage cell (11.3) during a stop at the main stopping station the signal light will glow intermittently.
15. Installation according to patent claims 6 and 13, so characterized,
that a blocking circuit (25) is provided, which consists of a OR-gate (24) exhibiting two inputs and an AND-gate (25) exhibiting two inputs,
that the inputs of the OR-gate (24) are connected with the outputs of the AND-gates (21, 22) of the further circuit arrangement (18) and the output of the OR-gate (24) is connected to an input of the AND-gate (25),
that a direction of travel information (FI) is fed to the other input of the AND-gate (25),
where a call stored in the second storage cell (11.3) becomes available at the output of the AND-gate (25) for the travel control of the elevator only after the change in the direction of travel, and
where a call stored in the first storage cell (11.2) becomes available for the travel control of the elevator directly at the output (Q) of the first storage cell (11.2) already prior to the change in the direction of travel.
16. Installation according to patent claims 1, 6 and 15, so characterized that the calls stored in the second storage cell (11.3) are cancelled, if at a change in the direction of travel the shortage of a predetermined minimum load is detected by the respective load measuring installation (6).
17. Installation according to patent claims 8 and 10, so characterized that the logic switching circuit (12) is an AND-gate.
18. Installation according to patent claims 1,6,8, 10 and 12, so characterized that this one call group is the first call group, which comprises calls for odd numbered floors of the upper cabin (4) and calls for even numbered floors of the lower cabin (5).
