Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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 .
  • 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.
  • the lock is released so that a person boarding can go up to any floor.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 odd-numbered car callers 9 of the upper car 4 and the even-numbered car callers 10 of the lower car 5 are each connected via a circuit arrangement 13 to the second memory cells 11.3 of the car call memory 11 assigned to them.
  • the circuit arrangement 13 consists of two AND gates 14, 15 each having two inputs, an OR gate 16 having two inputs and a 2-bit counter 17, the one inputs of the AND gates 14, 15 being connected to the relevant car call transmitters and the main station information HI or its negation HI is fed to the other inputs.
  • the output of the one AND gate 1 is connected to the one input of the OR gate 16, the output of which is connected to the set terminal S of the second memory cell 11.3.
  • the output of the other AND gate 14 is connected to the input E of the counter 17, the first output A1 of which is connected to the second input of the OR gate 16 and the second output A2 of which is connected to the reset input R of the second memory cell 11.3.
  • the outputs Q of the first and second memory cells 11.2, 11.3 are connected via a further circuit arrangement 18 to a car call signaling circuit 19 which is explained in more detail below with reference to FIG. 2.
  • the circuit arrangement 18 consists of a NOT gate 20, an AND gate 21 having five inputs and an AND gate 22 having two inputs.
  • the output Q of the first memory cell 11.2 is at a connection K1 of the car call signaling circuit 19 and via that NOT gate 20 connected to an input of AND gate 21.
  • the output Q of the second memory cell 11.3 is connected to another input of the AND gate 21 and an input of the AND gate 22, the other input of which is supplied with the main stop information HI.
  • the negated main stop information HI, the negated door information TIO or TIU and the negated load information LIO or LIU are fed to the other inputs of the AND gate 21.
  • the outputs of the AND gates 21, 22 are connected to the inputs K2, K3 of the car call signaling circuit 19.
  • the outputs Q of the memory cells 11.1 are connected to an input K4 of the relevant car call signaling circuit 19.
  • a blocking circuit 23 with a blocking circuit 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the passengers 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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:
  • 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.
