Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for selecting the most favorable elevator of an elevator system having at least two elevator groups.
- a multigroup control is known for a plurality of destination call control and instant allocation elevator groups, wherein the destination call input is made inter alia at any call registering device not allocated to a particular elevator group, and the allocated elevator can be clearly and easily recognized.
- Immediate allocation means that the passenger's destination call is immediately allocated to the cheapest car. The passenger thus needs the building division into floor areas, which are operated only by individual elevator groups, not to know. The passenger is informed at the optimum time with visual and audible instruction in the elevator car about the next connection leading to the destination floor.
- An object of the invention is to propose a method of the type mentioned above, which specifies a precise method, how the cheapest elevator can be selected, if there are trips in which the passenger has to change.
- An advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the most cost-effective elevator cars are chosen from the start to the destination. The passenger is thus led fastest without loss of time to the destination floor.
- the elevator groups each have a corresponding group control. This has the advantage that each elevator group can be controlled independently.
- each group controller has a destination call control with instant allocation.
- This has the advantage that in each elevator group the best elevator in the group can always be selected.
- the early knowledge of the destination floor makes it possible to make the choice from the elevator cars, which can serve the destination floor.
- the group controls of all elevator groups are connected to a central multi-group control (MGS).
- MMS multi-group control
- This has the advantage that the selection of all relevant elevators can be made automatically from a central unit, in particular if the zones served by several elevator groups overlap.
- several ways are available for reaching the destination floor from the starting floor, the best way being determined. This has the advantage that the problem occurring with elevator groups, namely several possible paths with changes, can be solved. The most optimal and fastest way is thus chosen from start to finish.
- a central multi-group control MGS compares the desired journey with its own database or a travel array to determine whether the desired destination floor can only be reached via a route, also called a route.
- ride 1 High Rise Shuttle with one group and then after changing the ride down with another group lift
- ride 2 Low Rise Shuttle with one group and after changing the ride up with another group lift - will First, based on the statistical values and the current traffic situation, the most likely shortest path to the destination chosen. After selecting the best route, the requested trip is split up into individual partial trips, which are usually operated by different elevator groups.
- a multi-group control comes into operation (as for example according to patent EP 0 891 291 B1 ) to determine the first elevator to use. With only one elevator group, this multi-group controller determines the best elevator.
- the central multi-group control MGS tracks the time course of the elevator journey in relation to the arrival in the transfer floor. Once the access time to the transfer floor has been determined (no more stops possible), the evaluation of the best elevator of the next group for the second part of the journey can begin.
- the passenger in the cabin can be informed.
- a cabin information system or other display becomes too each destination floor, which can only be reached by changing, the next elevator to be used is displayed.
- the voice announcement is made.
- This instruction can also be combined for multiple destination floors and / or terminal lifts.
- the passenger is visually and acoustically informed about the next connection at the earliest possible moment.
- the passenger does not have to carry an instruction device.
- FIG. 1 shows as an example four group controllers GR1, GR2, GR3. GR4, which accordingly have four group control computers GR1-PC, GR2-PC, GR3-PC, GR4-PC.
- the group controllers GR1, GR2, GR3. GR4 are grouped together via the group control computer GR1-PC, GR2-PC, GR3-PC, GR4-PC to a central multi-group control MGS, which has a database DB and a multi-group control computer MG-PC.
- the central multigroup control MGS compares the desired trip with its own database or trip array DB to determine whether the desired destination floor can be reached via one or more paths W1,... Wn.
- the first route W1 is distributed in legs W1T1, W1T2, ..., W1Tn, where n is a full number.
- the further paths W2,..., Wn are likewise divided into partial sections W2T1, W2T2,..., W2Tn or WnT1, WnT2,..., WnTn.
- the group control computer which will control the first leg, is assigned the elevator and the rest of the group control computers that do not have the first leg on the favorite path FW, the cancellation of the order is prompted.
- the first leg S-U1 from the start floor S to the first transfer floor U1 is then driven. As soon as it is ensured that intermediate stops are no longer possible, the multigroup control computer MG-PC is informed that the next destination is the transfer floor U1.
- the elevator allocation of the selected elevator group is made, which will do the second leg from the first transfer floor U1 to the destination floor U1-Z or the second transfer floor U2 U1-U2. If the destination floor Z is at the end of the second section, then the second section U1-Z is driven and the passenger has reached his destination. If the destination floor Z is not at the end of the second section, then the second section U1-U2 is driven and the same procedure as previously used for the further sections in order to reach the destination floor Z. In this example, the procedure was shown until the third leg; Of course, the same procedure can be used for the other sections.
- this route W1 is divided into sections W1T1, ..., W1Tn and in the same manner as above the elevator allocation for the first section from the start floor S until the first transfer floor U1 causes. Once the first leg is driven, then the same procedure is used for the remaining legs used in case A) from the interchange U1. If no change is necessary, a normal journey is initiated from the start floor S to the destination floor Z.

Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung liegt darin, ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art vorzuschlagen, welche eine präzise Methode angibt, wie der günstigste Aufzug gewählt werden kann, wenn Fahrten vorhanden sind, bei denen der Fahrgast umsteigen muss.An object of the invention is to propose a method of the type mentioned above, which specifies a precise method, how the cheapest elevator can be selected, if there are trips in which the passenger has to change.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of
Ein Vorteil der Erfindung ist darin zu sehen, dass die kostenmässig optimalsten Aufzugskabinen vom Start zum Ziel gewählt werden. Der Fahrgast wird somit ohne Zeitverlust am schnellsten zum Zielstockwerk geführt.An advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the most cost-effective elevator cars are chosen from the start to the destination. The passenger is thus led fastest without loss of time to the destination floor.
Durch die im abhängigen Patentanspruch aufgeführten Massnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen des im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Verfahrens möglich. Erfindungsgemäss weisen die Aufzugsgruppen jeweils eine entsprechende Gruppensteuerung auf. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass jede Aufzugsgruppe selbständig gesteuert werden kann.The measures listed in the dependent claim advantageous refinements and improvements of the method specified in
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist jede Gruppensteuerung eine Zielrufsteuerung mit Sofortzuteilung auf. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass in jeder Aufzugsgruppe immer der beste Aufzug der Gruppe gewählt werden kann. Die frühzeitige Kenntnis des Zielstockwerkes ermöglicht es, die Wahl aus den Aufzugskabinen vorzunehmen, welche das Zielstockwerk bedienen können. Erfindungsgemäss sind die Gruppensteuerungen aller Aufzugsgruppen zu einer Zentral-Multigruppensteuerung (MGS) verbunden.

Der Fahrgast im Lobby oder aber auf einem beliebigen Stockwerk gibt an einem der Multigruppenterminals das Zielstockwerk ein. Eine Zentral-Multigruppensteuerung MGS vergleicht die gewünschte Fahrt mit einer eigenen Datenbank oder einem Fahrtenarray, um festzustellen, ob das gewünschte Zielstockwerk nur über einen Weg, auch Trasse bezeichnet, erreicht werden kann.The passenger in the lobby or on any floor enters the destination floor at one of the multigroup terminals. A central multi-group control MGS compares the desired journey with its own database or a travel array to determine whether the desired destination floor can only be reached via a route, also called a route.
Bei nur einer Möglichkeit das Zielstockwerk zu erreichen durch ein oder mehrmalige Umsteigen, ist die Wahl der Trasse kein Problem.With only one way to reach the destination floor by one or several changes, the choice of the route is no problem.
Wenn es mehrere Wege gibt - zum Beispiel Fahrt 1: High Rise Shuttle mit einer Gruppe und dann nach Umsteigen die Fahrt abwärts mit Aufzug anderer Gruppe oder Fahrt 2: Low Rise Shuttle mit einer Gruppe und nach Umsteigen die Fahrt aufwärts mit Aufzug anderer Gruppe - wird zuerst anhand der statistischen Werte und der momentanen Verkehrssituation der höchstwahrscheinlich zeitlich kürzeste Weg zum Ziel gewählt. Nach der Auswahl der besten Trasse wird die verlangte Fahrt an einzelne Teilfahrten zerlegt, die in der Regel von verschiedenen Aufzugsgruppen bedienbar sind.If there are several ways - for example, ride 1: High Rise Shuttle with one group and then after changing the ride down with another group lift or ride 2: Low Rise Shuttle with one group and after changing the ride up with another group lift - will First, based on the statistical values and the current traffic situation, the most likely shortest path to the destination chosen. After selecting the best route, the requested trip is split up into individual partial trips, which are usually operated by different elevator groups.
Wenn eine der Teilfahrten von mehreren Aufzugsgruppen erledigt werden kann, tritt eine Multigruppensteuerung in Funktion (wie zum Beispiel gemäss Patent
Damit wird der erste zu benützende Aufzug evaluiert und auf dem Terminal Display dem Fahrgast mitgeteilt.This evaluates the first elevator to be used and informs the passenger on the terminal display.
Während der Fahrt verfolgt die Zentral-Multigruppensteuerung MGS den zeitlichen Verlauf der Aufzugsfahrt in Bezug auf die Ankunft im Umsteigestockwerk. Sobald die Zufahrtszeit ins Umsteigestockwerk feststeht (keine Zwischenstops mehr möglich), kann die Evaluation des besten Aufzuges der nächsten Gruppe für die zweite Teilfahrt beginnen.During the journey, the central multi-group control MGS tracks the time course of the elevator journey in relation to the arrival in the transfer floor. Once the access time to the transfer floor has been determined (no more stops possible), the evaluation of the best elevator of the next group for the second part of the journey can begin.
Sobald der nächste beste Aufzug ausgewählt wird, kann der Fahrgast in der Kabine informiert werden. Auf einem Kabineninformations-System oder anderem Display wird zu jedem Zielstockwerk, dessen Erreichen nur mit Umsteigen möglich ist, der nächste zu benutzender Aufzug angezeigt. Gleichzeitig wird die Sprachansage getätigt.Once the next best elevator is selected, the passenger in the cabin can be informed. On a cabin information system or other display becomes too each destination floor, which can only be reached by changing, the next elevator to be used is displayed. At the same time the voice announcement is made.
Diese Anweisung kann auch für mehrere Zielstockwerke und/oder Anschlussaufzüge kombiniert werden.This instruction can also be combined for multiple destination floors and / or terminal lifts.
Im folgenden werden einige Vorteile dieser Lösung angegeben:
- Die Zentral-Multigruppensteuerung MGS wählt den optimalen Weg vom Start- bis zum Zielstockwerk, teilt die gewählte Trasse auf einzelne Teilfahrten, d.h. Aufzugsgruppen, welche erst zum optimalsten Augenblick den besten Aufzug wählen und zwar aufgrund der genau festgelegten Restfahrzeit im vorherbenutzten Aufzug, der Ausstiegzeit, des Anmarschweges zwischen beiden nacheinander benutzten Aufzügen, der Anfahrtszeit des demnächst zu benutzten Aufzuges zum Umsteigestockwerk und aller übrigen Faktoren, welche bei einer bekannten Multigruppensteuerung (wie zum Beispiel gemäss Patent
EP 0 891 291 B1
- The central multi-group control MGS selects the optimal route from the start to the destination floor, dividing the selected route on individual partial trips, ie groups of elevators, which select the best elevator only at the most optimal moment and because of the precisely defined remaining travel time in the previously used elevator, the exit time, the Anmarschweges between two consecutively used elevators, the arrival time of the soon to be used elevator to the transfer floor and all other factors which in a known multi-group control (such as according to patent
EP 0 891 291 B1
Der Fahrgast wird im frühestmöglichen Augenblick über den nächsten Anschluss optisch und akustisch informiert.The passenger is visually and acoustically informed about the next connection at the earliest possible moment.
Es findet eine Sofortzuteilung statt, das heisst dem Fahrgast wird sofort nach der Zielrufeingabe eine Kabine zugeteilt.There is an immediate allocation, ie the passenger is assigned a car immediately after the destination call input.
Der Fahrgast muss kein Anweisungsgerät tragen.The passenger does not have to carry an instruction device.
Im folgenden werden die Flussdiagramme von den
- Der Fahrgast gibt vom Startstockwerk S einen neuen Zielruf zum Zielstockwerk Z ein.
- The passenger enters from the start floor S a new destination call to the destination floor Z.
Die Zentral-Multigruppensteuerung MGS vergleicht die gewünschte Fahrt mit einer eigenen Datenbank oder einem Fahrtenarray DB, um festzustellen, ob das gewünschte Zielstockwerk über einen Weg oder über mehrere Wege W1,... Wn erreicht werden kann.The central multigroup control MGS compares the desired trip with its own database or trip array DB to determine whether the desired destination floor can be reached via one or more paths W1,... Wn.
Wenn mehrere Wege vom Startstockwerk S zum Zielstockwerk Z existieren, dann wird der erste Weg W1 in Teilstrecken W1T1, W1T2,...,W1Tn verteilt, wobei n eine volle Zahl ist. Die weiteren Wege W2,...,Wn werden ebenfalls in Teilstrecken W2T1, W2T2,...,W2Tn beziehungsweise WnT1, WnT2,...,WnTn zerlegt. Es werden dann die Aufzugsbetriebskosten der jeweiligen Teilstrecken W1T1, W1T2,...,W1Tn; W2T1, W2T2,...,W2Tn und WnT1, WnT2,...,WnTn bei den entspechend zuständigen Gruppensteuerungen GR1,GR2,...,GRn abgefragt. Bei der Multigruppensteurung-Rechner MG-PC der Zentral-Multigruppensteuerung MGS werden die Aufzugsbetriebskosten der jeweiligen Teilstrecken W1T1, W1T2,...,WlTn; W2T1, W2T2,...,W2Tn und WnT1, WnT2,...,WnTn verglichen und den favoriten Weg FW ermittelt. Dem Gruppensteurung-Rechner, der die erste Teilstrecke steuern wird, wird den Aufzug zugeteilt und den übrigen Gruppensteurung-Rechnern, die die erste Teilstrecke nicht am favoriten Weg FW haben, wird die Annullierung des Auftrages veranlasst. Die erste Teilstrecke S-U1 vom Startstockwerk S bis zum ersten Umsteigestockwerk U1 wird dann gefahren. Sobald sichergestellt ist, dass keine Zwischestops mehr möglich sind, wird dem Multigruppensteuerung-Rechner MG-PC mitgeteilt, dass das nächste Ziel das Umsteigestockwerk U1 ist. In der gleichen Weise wird dann die Aufzugszuteilung der gewählten Aufzugsgruppe gemacht, die die zweite Teilstrecke vom ersten Umsteigestockwerk U1 bis zum Zielstockwerk U1-Z oder zum zweiten Umsteigestockwerk U2 U1-U2 erledigen wird. Liegt das Zielstockwerk Z am Ende der zweiten Teilstrecke, dann wird die zweite Teilstrecke U1-Z gefahren und der Fahrgast hat sein Ziel erreicht. Liegt das Zielstockwerk Z nicht am Ende der zweiten Teilstrecke, dann wird die zweite Strecke U1-U2 gefahren und die gleiche Prozedur wie bisher für die weiteren Teilstrecken angewendet, um das Zielstockwerk Z zu erreichen. In diesem Beispiel wurde die Prozedur bis zur dritten Teilstrecke gezeigt; für die weiteren Teilstrecken kann selbstverständlich die gleiche Prozedur angewendet werden.If there are several routes from the start floor S to the destination floor Z, then the first route W1 is distributed in legs W1T1, W1T2, ..., W1Tn, where n is a full number. The further paths W2,..., Wn are likewise divided into partial sections W2T1, W2T2,..., W2Tn or WnT1, WnT2,..., WnTn. There are then the lift operating costs of the respective sections W1T1, W1T2, ..., W1Tn; W2T1, W2T2, ..., W2Tn and WnT1, WnT2, ..., WnTn queried at the appropriate responsible group controllers GR1, GR2, ..., GRn. In the multi-group control computer MG-PC of the central multi-group controller MGS, the elevator operating costs of the respective sections W1T1, W1T2, ..., WlTn; W2T1, W2T2, ..., W2Tn and WnT1, WnT2, ..., WnTn and determined the favored path FW. The group control computer, which will control the first leg, is assigned the elevator and the rest of the group control computers that do not have the first leg on the favorite path FW, the cancellation of the order is prompted. The first leg S-U1 from the start floor S to the first transfer floor U1 is then driven. As soon as it is ensured that intermediate stops are no longer possible, the multigroup control computer MG-PC is informed that the next destination is the transfer floor U1. In the same way, then the elevator allocation of the selected elevator group is made, which will do the second leg from the first transfer floor U1 to the destination floor U1-Z or the second transfer floor U2 U1-U2. If the destination floor Z is at the end of the second section, then the second section U1-Z is driven and the passenger has reached his destination. If the destination floor Z is not at the end of the second section, then the second section U1-U2 is driven and the same procedure as previously used for the further sections in order to reach the destination floor Z. In this example, the procedure was shown until the third leg; Of course, the same procedure can be used for the other sections.
Wenn nur ein einziger Weg W1 vom Startstockwerk S zum Zielstockwerk Z existiert und das Umsteigen nötig ist, dann wird dieser Weg W1 in Teilstrecken W1T1,...,W1Tn zerlegt und in der gleichen Weise wie oben die Aufzugszuteilung für die erste Teilstrecke vom Startstockwerk S bis zum ersten Umsteigestockwerk U1 veranlasst. Sobald die erste Teilstrecke gefahren wird, wird dann die gleiche Prozedur für die restlichen Teilstrecken angewendet, die im Fall A) ab dem Umsteigestockwerk U1 verwendet wird. Wenn kein Umsteigen nötig ist, wird eine normale Fahrt vom Startstockwerk S bis Zielstockwerk Z veranlasst.If only a single route W1 exists from the start floor S to the destination floor Z and the changeover is necessary, then this route W1 is divided into sections W1T1, ..., W1Tn and in the same manner as above the elevator allocation for the first section from the start floor S until the first transfer floor U1 causes. Once the first leg is driven, then the same procedure is used for the remaining legs used in case A) from the interchange U1. If no change is necessary, a normal journey is initiated from the start floor S to the destination floor Z.
